taste of honey

Chapter 9

On this day, Duan Qingxu returned to the dormitory at 11:30, missing the curfew time.

Jiang Yiwo was playing games on the bed, lost three games in a row, and her rankings were so bad that her teammate hurled insults at her, but she ignored it and continued to play and lose.

The dormitory turned off the lights on time at 11:30, and it was dark inside and out. Duan Qingxu finished washing lightly, worked for a while, and went to bed in the middle of the morning.

Jiang Yi was still playing with her mobile phone, the light from the screen hit her face, and she couldn't see any unnecessary emotions.

The temperature remained almost unchanged for the next two days, and some unknown trees planted downstairs in the dormitory began to lose their leaves in large numbers.During the period, Zheng Yun called and asked her what kind of mooncakes she wanted to eat, and she had to go back to her hometown during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Anything is fine except Wuren trap." Jiang Yi said, after thinking about it, she changed her mind, "I want egg yolk."

"Okay, I'll pick you up on Friday." Zheng Yun said, the three-day long vacation allows the whole family to get together.

On Friday, the disabled people's federation sports meeting, and I was not in the dormitory at all in the afternoon. Jiang Yi said: "No, I will come back by car, and I have to do volunteer service on Friday."

Zheng Yun told her to pay attention to safety and go back early.The mother and daughter chatted for half an hour.

It was sunny and sunny on Friday. Volunteering was divided into morning and afternoon. Jiang Yi was in the afternoon group. Before lunch, everyone hurried to Xuanhe Village Tiancheng Gymnasium by car.In the morning, Qin Yu led the team, and in the afternoon, Duan Qingxu led the team. The people who joined the Youth Association of the Vehicle School began to distribute bread and drinks to appease everyone. There is a subsidy of 50 yuan per person for this volunteer service.

Jiang Yi was motion sick, and sat alone by the window in the front row, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

The school is about four to ten minutes' drive from the gymnasium. She didn't dare to eat, for fear of throwing up later, so she listened to music with headphones to try to relieve her discomfort before leaving the car.

She has been too silent for the past two days, except that she hardly goes back to the dormitory at night, and spends the rest of the time studying in the library.

Duan Qingxu didn't ask a word.

It may be that the weather changes from summer to autumn, Jiang Yi feels irritable for no reason, and can't do anything.People from the School Youth Association distributed the admission cards to them one by one, and explained a lot of precautions, and finally assigned tasks. What Jiang Yi had to do was very simple, and was responsible for the registration of the athletes.

It was really uncomfortable, listening to her falling asleep, her head tilted, going up and down with the slight shaking of the car.Duan Qingxu was right in front of her, someone was talking to her, she made all the arrangements, and sat next to Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi was in a deep sleep, she didn't realize it at all, she found a support point for her head in a daze, she leaned over, and had a good night's sleep.

When she woke up, she found that Duan Qingxu was sitting next to her. She froze for a moment, pursed her lips, and held the bread and drink in silence.

The sharp-eyed people from the school youth association saw the things in her hand and reminded: "Classmates, remember to eat your lunch, otherwise you won't have anything to eat when you enter the gymnasium later."

Jiang Yi responded again and again: "Well, okay, thank you."

The volunteers in the car went down one by one, and the staff of the Disabled Persons' Federation came to meet them. Duan Qingxu had no time to delay, so he had to go to communicate with that person, and then the group walked a certain distance to the gymnasium.As soon as they entered, someone took Jiang Yi to collect the list, and then asked her to sit at the door and start working.

Although it was only a small city sports event for the disabled, there were quite a few participating athletes. Due to the special object of responsibility, the sign-in work was more troublesome than usual, and it took a lot of time. It started at one o'clock and ended at 02:30.Jiang Yi was assigned to be a referee assistant again, but she had nothing to do, so she just watched from the sidelines.

In the middle of the game, half of the volunteers were free, and everyone just became spectators or chatted quietly when they had nothing to do.

Duan Qingxu has been busy with the person in charge of the gymnasium, and finally got free when the game was nearing the end. At that time, she came to Jiang Yi's side to watch the badminton game.

Jiang Yi watched two games, glanced at this person, and asked dryly, "What did you do when you went back?"

Duan Qingxu tilted his head when he heard the sound, and replied: "There is something at home."

Indifferently, Jiang Yi looked away, and after a while, asked again: "Didn't you go back to school?"

Duan Qingxu said: "It's up."

That is to leave after class and not go back to the dormitory alone.Jiang Yi stopped talking and concentrated on watching the game. Occasionally, the referee would call for someone to help.

Duan Qingxu stood here until the end of the game, and then was called away by the person in charge.

At this time, most of the volunteers are free, either to help clean up the site, or are preparing to leave.Jiang Yi felt hungry, and sat in the corner with bread and drink to eat. When she was about to finish eating, she caught a glimpse of a person walking in the door.

This person is especially familiar. The casual clothes he wore today have a sudden change in temperament, and he looks a lot more approachable. But from the Vacheron Constantin watch in his hand, Jiang Yi recognized at a glance that this is the man he met in the Second Teaching .

There were law students in the volunteer service team, and a girl with round glasses shouted in surprise, "God, Senior Brother Zhou Qishen, why is he back?"

Someone surrounded the past and took a look at it, and it was really true.

"Isn't he studying in country M?"

"That's right, two days ago someone said they saw him with the president, and thought it was nonsense, but it turned out to be true."

The girl with round glasses understood, "I should have come to see the president today. They used to be together a lot, and it's so good now that they're in a foreign country."

……

Jiang Yi listened silently, and figured out a general idea from the conversation. The man was Zhou Qishen, a former representative of the law department, and Duan Qingxu's fellow senior. The two had such a close relationship that everyone agreed that they were men girlfriend relationship.Zhou Qishen is studying abroad now, and he should be back in two years. During his stay abroad, he will go back to his alma mater from time to time, and he will basically come to find Duan Qingxu after he comes back.

Zhou Qishen...

She thought of Zhou Baizhi, but she didn't know how the two were related.

After eating the bread and throwing out the trash, he turned around and saw Duan Qingxu coming out.

Zhou Qishen held a folder in his hand, he waved, Duan Qingxu went over immediately, took the things, and chatted as they walked.

They were far away and didn't notice it, but they were already gossiping excitedly, the little girls were so envious, they even said that they were a good match, they really treated the two of them as boyfriend and girlfriend.

A boy couldn't see it, and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, isn't the president single? When did you have a boyfriend?"

"Isn't it just a boyfriend? You're a straight man and you just can't tell." Someone retorted.

The boy was speechless, and choked: "What's wrong with straight guys, you guys can talk about things that don't exist in the first place!"

"You still don't believe me. If you don't believe me, ask the president which school you will go to for the graduate school. The two of them have hit it off a long time ago, but it's just relatively low-key. Otherwise, who will senior brother Zhou Qishen look for every time he comes back to school?"

The boy was too lazy to argue, and just said: "You know a lot."

One person asked: "Brother, isn't he a graduate student in this school?"

"No, I read it at H University."

Jiang Yi looked over there, Zhou Qishen didn't plan to leave after delivering the documents, but waited, and should wait for Duan Qingxu to leave with him.

Duan Qingxu still has finishing work to do, so he walked away in a while.Jiang Yi went to the lounge to pack her things, and then came out to join the big team at the entrance of the gymnasium.

After counting the number of people, those who want to go back to school take the school bus.Jiang Yi went to report first, planning to take the subway directly. After the report, she met Duan Qingxu, and the other party called her: "Where are you going?"

"go home."

Zhou Qishen was also present, he seemed to know Jiang Yi, and said familiarly: "It happens that we are leaving too, let's go together, I drove over, right in front."

Jiang Yi didn't appreciate it, and said politely: "No, no, I have to go shopping, you guys go first."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Duan Qingxu's face darkened.

……

The daytime was still bright and sunny, but in the evening, the sky suddenly became overcast. Jiang Yi actually went to the supermarket to buy something, and walked around aimlessly. It was already light rain outside.

The supermarket was more than 200 meters away from the subway station. There were shops in the middle, and there was no shelter from the rain. She was stuck at the entrance of the supermarket and couldn't walk.The supermarket has umbrellas that can be borrowed, but only for members. People who have encountered the same situation as her have blocked the door, and everyone is complaining, waiting for the rain to stop.

The weather is not beautiful, and instead of stopping, the rain keeps getting bigger and bigger.Dark clouds rolled in, the outside was groggy, and it was already past seven o'clock.

Jiang Yi called Zheng Yun and told her that she would be home later.Zheng Yun was still in the company, and he was very busy working overtime today, so he hung up the phone after telling him to be careful on the road.

It rained for more than an hour, and when Jiang Yi got on the subway, she sent a message to Zheng Yun to report her safety, so as not to worry her family.

In the Jinming Mansion, the Chen family and the Duan family were all lit.In the study room on the second floor of the Duan family, Duan Qingxu was crouching in front of the table to process documents. Uncle Qi came in to deliver tea, and couldn’t help muttering: “I just went to the next door, and Ah Yi hasn’t come back yet. She said she was doing volunteer work this afternoon. Service, on the way back there was heavy rain and the outside was blocked."

Duan Qing paused, raised her head, and frowned.

Uncle Qi was getting old, so he was a bit chatty when he was talking. After serving tea, he couldn't help but said: "After all, I just moved here and I'm not familiar with this area. When we come back later, we can bring her along without delay. , is it done?"

The tone was that of a question, but it was expected that Duan Qingxu would not refuse.Uncle Qi watched the father and daughter of the Duan family grow up, and knows them quite well. Although he is a part-time worker on the surface, he is a relative to the father and daughter. He also regards Duan Qingxu as his granddaughter from the bottom of his heart. Treating him, I naturally hope that Duan Qingxu can get in touch with Jiang Yi more and change his indifferent temperament.

After closing the file, Duan Qing hummed, got up and went out.

Uncle Qi felt strange, and saw the man walking straight downstairs.

Jiang Yi didn't get home until 08:30. Fortunately, it didn't rain after entering Jinming Mansion, otherwise she would definitely be drowned.

Zheng Yun arrived home ten minutes earlier, saw her coming in, and hurriedly said, "I called you just now, but you didn't answer. I was about to go out to find you and came back."

Jiang Yi changed her shoes and put her things away, and replied, "The phone is on silent, I didn't hear it."

Chen Yuqiu came out wearing an apron and said cheerfully, "It's just in time for dinner. The crucian carp soup stewed today is very fresh."

The family ate dinner peacefully, and Chen Yuqiu briefly talked about the arrangements for the next three-day long vacation, including going back to Zheng Yun's hometown tomorrow, going back to the city the day after tomorrow, and spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with the Duan's family next door.Jiang Yi was wondering why she wanted to live together, when she heard Chen Yuqiu say again: "Your Uncle Duan injured his foot in a car accident last week, there is no major problem, but he can't walk now, the doctor told him to take care of him for a while, if you two have Empty, just go and have a look."

Jiang Yiwu ate the food by himself, Jiang Ning kept nodding.

The couple continued to chat, and when they talked about Jiangyi School, Chen Yuqiu asked: "Are you still used to living in the school? Uncle Qi said that you and Qing Xu live in a dormitory, that's good, and we can take care of each other."

"Yeah." Jiang Yi prevaricated, clenched her hands, and took the initiative to distance herself from the relationship, "She is busy and has a lot of classes, so I don't usually see her very much except at night."

Chen Yuqiu was slightly stunned, and exchanged a glance with Zheng Yun.

That's not what Uncle Qi said.

The two adults tacitly stopped mentioning this and changed the topic.After dinner, the aunt cleaned up, and the family went out for a walk. The rainy road was slippery, and they only walked around the neighborhood, illuminated by the soft white street lamps, and reflected light from the stagnant water.

Jiang Ning accompanied him for a while, feeling bored, so he excused himself to go back to study.

Chen Yuqiu and Zheng Yun were newlyweds in Yaner, and it was a period of intimacy, and they could look at each other countless times wherever they walked.Jiang Yi randomly searched for a reason, walked in the opposite direction, and walked back slowly when the two of them were no longer visible.

She didn't know the way very well, so she took a wrong turn, and went around in a big circle before going back. When passing by the door of Duan's house, she slowed down and looked in the direction of the second floor.

The next moment, I saw a familiar thin figure at the fork in the road.Duan Qingxu stood under the street lamp, and the light cast a soft halo on her body.

She is looking at her.
