Confession (Ying Cheng)
Chapter 12: Confession
On the weekend, Xu Sui went to Sheng's house half an hour earlier to give Sheng Yan a supplementary lesson, because they seemed to have to rehearse, and Xu Sui didn't want to wait for everyone because of his own business.
Upon arriving in Sheng Yanjia's room, Xu Sui announced a bad news: "I have something to do for a while, and I didn't play the game at the end of the course."
Little Curly lay on the table immediately, looking listless: "I haven't played games for a week, just waiting to soar in the world of games with Teacher Xiao Xu."
"Today we have an hour of math class, although there is no game to play," Xu Sui sold a special pass and patted him on the shoulder. "We use the remaining hour to watch a movie."
Little Curly immediately became energetic and changed her words: "Mr.Xu, I can't wait to travel in the world of mathematics."
After Xu Sui gave Little Curly a serious math class, Sheng Yanjia immediately cleaned up the desktop, turned on the projector, and asked excitedly: "Teacher, what are we watching? "Avengers" Or "Lord of the Rings"?"
"Neither, let's watch "Friends"." Xu Sui shook his head with a smile.
As we all know, "Friends" is one of the model films for learning English and training oral English. Sheng Yanjia wanted to hit a wall on the spot and died.
After the one-hour movie is over, in addition to the two sets of math papers Xu Sui left for Sheng Yan, there is also an afterthought of "Friends".
"The routines are all routines, Teacher Xiao Xu, you are too bad!" Sheng Yanjia complained.
Xu Sui checked the time and said with a smile: "I won't tell you, the bad teacher has left beforehand."
Xu Sui packed up her things and hurried downstairs. She ran out of the living room all the way, only to ran into Aunt Sheng who was playing cards in the courtyard.
Aunt Sheng is wearing a water-blue disc buckle-knit and split cheongsam with a woolen shawl on the outside. She has a beautiful style. Aunt Sheng is worried about missing a brand partner. When she sees Xu Sui, her eyes light up: "Mr.Xu, Come and play cards."
"I still have something to do." Xu then hurriedly said with a foreboding of the big event.
Aunt Sheng walked over in two steps, stomped her feet, and took her hand: "Ten minutes, just ten minutes, the old Li next door has gone to the bathroom, so you can help instead."
"But I'm not very good at it." Xu Sui groaned inwardly.
"It's okay, let's teach you." Aunt Sheng pulled her involuntarily and pressed the person to the poker table.
There was a wooden square table with a fruit plate next to it, containing preserved fruits and scraping melon seeds. The sun was shining diagonally, and the hearty laughter and scolding of a few street visitors sitting together playing cards were mixed in winning or losing.
Demu lay at the feet of Aunt Sheng, Xu Sui took advantage of the gap between the cards and sent Zhou Jingze a WeChat message: [That...I might be late, you rehearse first. 】
In less than a minute, the mobile phone displayed a message from zjz: [Where? 】
Xu Sui lowered his head to reply to the text message: [Still at Aunt Sheng's house, pulling me to play cards, and I still...not very good at it. 】
Aunt Sheng was handing out the cards, her eyes were too sharp, and she smiled: "Mr.Xu, don't play on the phone, even if you are sending messages to your boyfriend, you have to concentrate when you go to my poker table.]
Xu Sui couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to put his phone aside. Xu Sui only knows how to play cards. She still watches the uncle's family play cards and learns some rules during the Chinese New Year.
After ten minutes of playing, Xu Sui found that the cards in her hand were too bad. Aunt Sheng had been breezy since the beginning of the game, and she quietly glanced at her phone.
Zhou Jingze returned two words: [Wait. 】
What are you waiting for, is he going to help find a rescuer, or will he call Aunt Sheng to let her go? Xu Suizai tried hard to guess.
Xu Sui relied on poor card skills to finish a round, but Lao Li next door hadn't appeared yet, and everyone was in awe, so she could only hold on and continue to play bad cards.
In the second game, the cards in Xu Sui's hand were not very good. When she was hesitating whether to break the jar and throw it out, a low voice sounded:
"Out of this."
At the same time, there was a box of cigarettes and a silver lighter beside the table.
Xu Sui quickly turned his head, Zhou Jingze unexpectedly appeared in front of him out of thin air, black jacket, gray pants, thin lips and nose.
"Jingze, why are you here?" Aunt Sheng asked.
"You detained me here, and I came." Zhou Jingze smiled.
Aunt Sheng's eyes rolled around between the two, and then smiled: "Okay, the old rules, two wins in three games, I can only go if I win twice."
Xu Sui's tone was a little anxious: "Auntie Sheng, we really have something to do, we need to rehearse..."
"It's okay, soon." Zhou Jingze interrupted her.
During the next card game, Xu Sui was even more absent than before. Because Zhou Jingze was standing behind her, leaning over to give guidance from time to time.
His elbow support was on Xu Sui's right side, and the light blue blood vessels were obvious. The black cloth rubbed her shoulders. Xu Sui found that his senses were infinitely magnified. He seemed to have just washed his hair, and his body smelled of mint. The fragrance is full of bitterness of basil.
Xu Sui's cheeks were hot, a pair of hands with clear joints stretched out, thumb and index finger drew a card, and he snorted with a breath of voice: "What are you in a daze?"
His fingertips accidentally touched Xu Sui's hand. It was very light, like snow. The mole on his tiger's mouth appeared in front of her repeatedly. Xu Sui was uncomfortable and breathing was a little short. She pinched her palm with her nails. .
Xu Sui secretly told herself to be calm, to pretend not to care, and not to reveal any flaws.
Otherwise like him, there is nowhere to hide.
Xu Sui took a breath and tried to keep himself calm. Zhou Jingze is very smart, his kind of smartness is holding back his bad energy, he will give you some sweetness first, and then he will be caught off guard.
Under the guidance of Zhou Jingze, Xu Sui won two games in a row. Aunt Sheng pushed all the money she lost in front of Xu Sui, pointed at him and said, "Hurry up, stay here again, my mother is going to go bankrupt."
Zhou Jingze smirked, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and bit it in his mouth, lowered his head to meet Xu Sui's hesitant eyes: "This money..."
"Take it, take it to buy candy to eat." Zhou Jingze smiled while biting a cigarette, his voice a little vague.
The two walked out of the courtyard of the Sheng family side by side. Zhou Jingze walked a little faster than her with a cigarette in his fingertips. Xu Sui stared at his shoulder and summoned the courage to say, "Thank you about Bai Yuyue."
Zhou Jingze turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "How do you know it's me?"
"Guess it." Xu Sui answered.
"Okay," Zhou Jingze kicked the stone under his feet and smiled lazily, "Then how do you thank me?"
Xu Sui originally wanted to say "As long as I can do it, it's okay", but Zhou Jingze put one hand in his pocket and turned his head to look at her, his black eyes locked tightly, and his tone was meaningful:
"Or, also invite me to drink milk tea?"
