taste of honey

Chapter 8

Pat, the splashed water slightly hit the instep.

The towel was taken away, and the door was closed suddenly. At the moment of closing, the shoulders as white as jade flashed past.

Duan Qingxu was especially silent tonight.Jiang Yi felt that something was wrong when she came out of the wash. Usually Duan Qingxu was not very talkative, but she was not like this. At least she would answer a few questions. Now she is like a stuffed gourd, unable to open her mouth after prying for a long time .

While she was clearing the table, Duan Qingxu took the clothes and went into the bathroom silently.

The sound of rushing water continued, and it took more than half an hour to end.

There was news in the group that Jiang Yi went to the ninth floor for the squad leader to hand over the membership card.The dormitory of the same class is more lively and harmonious. There are many female students in the class gathered in the monitor's dormitory. Everyone gathers together to eat melon seeds and chat.

The squad leader stuffed Jiang Yi with food, and moved out a stool for her to sit for a while before leaving.

When female students get together, there is always a lot of gossip to talk about. At first, they are still talking about studies and recent arrangements. Within a few minutes, they chat about various rumors, such as the mechanical department grass is in love with so-and-so, and so-and-so in the second class. Her boyfriend is a rich person from outside the school, and in the end it turns out that someone in the class has an affair with someone.

Jiang Yi listened with gusto. There were only two men in her class, and there were actually three couples, one of opposite sex and two of same sex.

After hearing too much gossip, she turned back, and the flames quickly burned on her. The short classmate who had met before the class meeting suddenly said, "Jiang Yi, tell me the truth, is there something wrong between you and Zhang Yi?"

Jiang Yi was confused and asked, "What?"

"Still pretending." The short classmate said, with a mysterious look on his face, and smiled meaningfully, "I met him in the cafeteria yesterday, and he was asking about you, asking if you are single."

The people around immediately booed, this is terrible, there are very few boys in the English department, and now the only single boy in the class actually wants to belong.

"No wonder, Zhang Yi took special care of you when the book was released that day, and kept helping you. Usually we can't call him. I wonder why he suddenly changed his gender." Someone said.

"Yes, he only left after Jiang Yi left."

Everyone looked at Jiang Yi with playful expressions, making fun of each other.

"When did it happen?"

Jiang Yi was a little embarrassed, and explained: "No, I don't know him well, so it's impossible."

She and Zhang Yi added contact information, but it was just lying in the customs, and they never even talked in private, how could this be the case.

Furthermore, even if there is a connection, it is impossible. Two people with the same sexual orientation are doomed to fail. People objected, and the vast majority were indifferent.Some people respect your sexual orientation on the surface, but secretly spread it everywhere, that a certain person actually likes girls, and it's all just an after-dinner conversation.

I got used to it after seeing it a lot, Jiang Yi would not tell others about it, it was another way to protect herself from gossip.The society is not as beautiful as the Internet. Everyone will respect your choice. The reality is that you must be on guard against others, at least until you find a partner.

"It's okay to be familiar with someone who isn't familiar with her. This is the grass of our class, so seize the opportunity." The female classmate winked at her.

The others laughed in agreement, making jokes from time to time.

No matter how Jiang Yi defended, they just didn't listen, and the more they said, the more outrageous they became, as if she and Zhang Yizhen had become a couple.She had no choice but to shut up and not speak at all.

Everyone stopped talking about this, and gradually turned to other things.Out of politeness, Jiang Yi sat and chatted with them, and when she saw that someone was leaving, she also made an excuse to go out.

Compared with the noise on the ninth floor, the eighth floor is much cleaner. Most of the people you meet come out to throw garbage. At this time, most of you are wearing pajamas.It was almost 09:30, and I went up and stayed for more than half an hour.

The door of the dormitory was ajar, and it was quiet inside. Jiang Yi thought that Duan Qingxu was not there, but when she opened the door, she found that Duan Qingxu was blowing on the balcony.At the end of the lunar calendar, the sky is full of stars but there is no sign of the moon, and the whole sky is in a hazy state.

She washed her hands and went to the balcony to collect the rest of the clothes.

Duan Qingxu turned his head in response.

"What are you doing?" she asked casually.

Duan Qingxu shook the things in his hand, and replied: "Put the cactus ball."

After I took it in before, I didn’t take it out again. I put it in a place without direct sunlight for a while, and the prickly pear became rattling, and it looked like it was going to die at any time.

"Put it inside a little bit, it's windy these two nights, don't blow it down." Jiang Yi said, holding the clothes in her arms, pushing the door in and putting them in the closet.

Duan Qingxu followed in.

When she turned around, Jiang Yi saw drops of water hanging from the back of her left ear, probably because she hadn't wiped it off after taking a shower, and the water drops were on the faint mole. For some reason, she raised her hand without hesitation, Gently wipe off any water droplets.

When the smooth and slightly warm fingertips touched the back of the ear, Duan Qingxu paused obviously sensitively, his thin lips moved, and under the calm eyes was a dark tide.Before Jiang Yi withdrew her hand, she stepped back half a step and took the initiative to distance herself.

"There's water there that hasn't been wiped clean." Jiang Yi explained, and as she spoke, she unconsciously rubbed her fingertips, and the water that just touched them disappeared after a while without a trace.

Duan Qingxu hummed, his attitude neither salty nor dull.

For some reason, Jiang Yi felt that she was deliberately staying away from her.

Maybe it's overthinking, Duan Qingxu's temperament is like this, it's not right if she really looks like other people.Thinking of this, Jiang Yi stopped thinking about it and turned around to fiddle with the books for a while.

Duan Qingxu was sitting at the desk sorting out the documents.

She glanced secretly, calmed the atmosphere and said, "How is your class tomorrow?"

The slender finger clicked a few times, then stopped, Duan Qingxu replied calmly: "The class is full."

Jiang Yi understood, recalled the notice in the Youth Association group, and asked: "Next week, the Disabled Persons' Federation will hold a sports meeting in the suburban Xuanhe Village, right? Should we go there by school bus or by ourselves?"

"Have you signed up?"

"Well, there aren't many classes recently." Jiang Yi nodded. The English Youth Association has always been lazy, and no one in the group is willing to sign up after sending out the notice. She is the only one who volunteers to sign up, and the other one is directly appointed.

"At Tiancheng Gymnasium, it's far away from the school, so take the school bus there." Duan Qingxu said.

"How long is the time?"

"Five hours."

Not bad, since most events are under four hours long.Jiang Yi was satisfied, she was silent for a moment, and asked again: "Are you going?"

Duan Qingxu obviously froze for a while, "Yes."

"We can be together at that time, you can wait for me or I can wait for you." Jiang Yi said, tidying up the table and climbing onto the bed with her mobile phone.

Duan Qingxu responded.

Both of them went to bed early tonight. At 10:30, Jiang Yi put down her phone, but there was no movement from the diagonally opposite side. Duan Qingxu should be fast asleep.The room was unusually quiet. The faint starlight came in from the floor-to-ceiling windows and fell on the soft and thin quilt. She folded the corners of the quilt, turned over to face that side, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

When everything calmed down, there was a sound of needles falling in the room, and there was a movement diagonally across.

The next day was cloudy, and the next few days were cloudy. The temperature suddenly dropped to about [-] degrees. Before, it was so hot that it was annoying to wear clothes. Now I can only add long clothes and trousers.Jiang Yi showed signs of fatigue, didn't adapt to the weather and added clothes, she wore skirts every day, and caught cold on Friday.

The feeling of catching a cold is uncomfortable, my head is dizzy, and it is difficult to breathe. I rushed to finish the class and went to the infirmary after the fourth class, but the infirmary was closed today, so I had to go out of the school gate to go to the pharmacy to get medicine.After a brief inquiry, the pharmacy prescribed three boxes of cold medicine for her, and told her to take it three times a day, which cost nearly 100 yuan.

Medical treatment at school is cheaper than outside, and more than half of it can be reimbursed by medical insurance.

After taking the medicine, she lay on the bed to rest, and slept in a daze until it was dark, without even taking a bite of food.

Duan Qingxu came back relatively late, and usually the lights were on when entering the dormitory, except this time, he thought Jiang Yi was busy outside, but when he turned on the lights, he saw a lump on the bed.

The dazzling light woke up Jiang Yi, her head was still dizzy, when she opened her eyes and saw Duan Qingxu standing underneath, she cried out weakly.

Duan Qingxu frowned and put down his things.

"What's wrong?" Duan Qingxu rarely took the initiative to speak first.

Jiang Yi got out of the quilt, her cheeks were flushed with boredom, and she even spoke hoarsely, buzzing: "I've caught a cold, I'm not feeling well."

"Did you see a doctor?"

She nodded: "Look, take the medicine and sleep for a while, you just finished class?"

Duan Qingxu closed the door, saw the humming air conditioner, found the remote control and adjusted it to 27°C, "The Youth Association has something to do, so I went to lie in the office at night."

Jiang Yi was in low spirits and still felt uncomfortable, so she got back into the quilt and continued to sleep, her breathing became a bit heavy due to her blocked nose.

Duan Qingxu moved very lightly, and slept very late tonight.

After a night of sleep, the low-grade fever subsided and I finally felt much better.Jiang Yi woke up at nearly nine o'clock, and saw Duan Qingxu as soon as she opened her eyes. He usually left early, but today he was still staying in the dormitory.

Feeling dizzy after sleeping for a long time, Jiang Yi sat up to wake up, the distance was far, and Duan Qingxu's computer screen could not be seen clearly, only the slender and distinct hand holding the mouse and clicking it from time to time, and a piece of green.

After a while, he suddenly realized that he was playing a game, and it was still Spider Solitaire.She was stunned, feeling that Duan Qingxu is quite boring today, usually so busy that she doesn't see a single person, but now she is quite leisurely.

Sensing the movement behind him, Duan Qingxu turned his head to look.

Jiang Yi was a little thirsty, but she didn't want to move for now, so she pulled the quilt and said cheekily, "Duan Qingxu, can you get me a glass of water?"

Duan Qingxu stopped and closed the game interface.

She understood, and quickly said: "Use the white cup on the table to catch it, half boiling water and half cold water, thank you."

Used to make people.

Duan Qing hummed, went out with the white cup, and washed the cup before collecting water.

The hot water poured into her throat, and she instantly felt much more comfortable. Jiang Yi's voice was a little hoarse and dry, and she couldn't help coughing twice.

Duan Qingxu raised his eyes, took the handed cup and put it on the table.

After sitting for a few more minutes, Jiang Yiwen swallowed the bed, took the medicine and asked, "Why don't you go out today, do you have nothing to do?"

"I'm waiting for Qin Yu and the others to issue the documents, and I'll go out in the afternoon."

Jiang Yi nodded, then swallowed the medicine and drank water, "Is Qin Yu the man who is often with you? He is tall and thin, with a short cut, and his eyebrows are broken."

"Yeah." Duan Qingxu didn't seem to want to talk about other people.

Jiang Yi didn't ask any more questions. She drank the medicine and went to take a shower. Last night was so uncomfortable that she fell asleep without washing her face. Her body was sweating again, sticky and greasy.As soon as the fever subsided, she didn't dare to take a bath right away. She just took a basin of hot water to wipe off and was done. She had to go to the library to borrow books in the afternoon. She was also hungry, so she put on lipstick after washing to make her complexion look better.

After tidying up, Duan Qingxu sat in front of the computer again, but this time he was not playing games, but seriously processing the documents of the Youth Association.Jiang Yi stood behind and watched for 2 minutes. One of the forms had her name on it, which should be the list of volunteers for the disabled people's sports meeting.

Out of gratitude, Jiang Yi went downstairs to pack two stir-fried vegetables and one soup back to the dormitory during meal time, and asked Duan Qingxu to eat together.

Duan Qingxu didn't refuse, and vacated the table to set up dishes.

Jiang Yi knew that she had a slight obsession with cleanliness, so she directly put the food on her table, and then took the stool. Before starting, she specially picked up the chopsticks for the other party, and said: "The chopsticks have not been used, they are clean."

Duan Qingxu was taken aback, but didn't say anything, picked up the chopsticks and ate food silently.She ate gracefully, chewed slowly and did not rush. It was obvious that there were only two home-cooked dishes, but she felt a sense of ritual in eating them, which made Jiang Yi slow down and eat slowly.

Maybe it was because she was hungry all night, but the food at noon tasted very delicious, and most of it went into Jiang Yi's stomach.

After eating and tidying up, Jiang Yi was ready to go out.

"Where are you going?" Duan Qingxu rarely asked.

"Borrowing books from the library." Jiang Yi said while putting on her shoes, "Elective courses need to be used, and if you don't borrow them, they will be gone."

Some classes in the university are only held for a few weeks. Some teachers ask to buy books, and some teachers ask students to go to the library as much as possible or borrow from the previous seniors and sisters. A book is tens or hundreds of dollars, which is not cheap.

Jiang Yi went at just the right time, and there was only the last one left, so she was lucky.

Go around outside and then go back to the dormitory. There is no one in the dormitory.

In the next two days, he recuperated and went to class, everything was as usual, Duan Qingxu did not return to the dormitory on Monday.When Jiang Yi was shopping for food at the back door, she saw a Maybach and Uncle Qi parked beside the road.

Duan Qingxu didn't come back until Wednesday.

Jiang Yi didn't see her in the dormitory, but met her in the Second Teaching Hall. At that time, she was chatting with a young man in a formal suit, so that she didn't realize that Jiang Yi was behind.

The young man in formal attire looked upright, handsome and tough. He looked at most 26 or 60 years old, from a wealthy family, and all the watches he wore were Vacheron Constantin.The reason why Jiang Yi knew each other was because Chen Yuqiu had a watch of the same series, worth more than [-] yuan, which was used for daily casual wear.

The relationship between him and Duan Qingxu should be very good, they have been chatting all the time, and the two walked out of the second teaching side by side, and walked to the office of the law department.

The figures of the two disappeared around the corner, Jiang Yi pursed her lips tightly, and her classmates yelled several times before she suddenly regained her senses.
