Flowers and dances

Chapter 17

Chu Wu found a part-time job as an assistant in a construction company. It is an assistant, but in fact it is just a miscellaneous job with constant chores. Fortunately, the environment here is good. The boss of the company is a sea turtle who has just returned to China. He is young and promising. After returning to China, she started her own business. The employees of the company are a group of young people full of vigor. Chu Wu lives with them every day easily and comfortably. She has never had that kind of psychological satisfaction.

Time flew by, and it was March in a blink of an eye. The results of the postgraduate entrance examination came out, which were similar to her estimated results. Politics and English were particularly good, with 90 in politics and 85 in English.When she went to the courtyard to get materials, she met teacher Yan, the class teacher, and she told her class about her grades.

"A dancer I trained for four years, graduated but gave me a big turning point in my life. First dance, you girl really makes me love and hate." Teacher Yan has danced for more than 40 years, and she is also quite popular in the dance industry. famous.Chuwu took the art test in her third year of high school, and she was the one who picked it out at a glance.

Chu Wu smiled embarrassedly.

"It's not a problem to get an A in this grade." The old class patted her on the shoulder, "In the future, I will engage in education, and I still need to practice my skills."

Chu Wu nodded, feeling a little sour in her heart. Teacher Yan took her for four years and taught her painstakingly. In her heart, she has always been a teacher and a mother.

The night before Chuwu went to A University for the re-examination, Sun Xiaoran came to the school to look for her.

Walking in the quiet campus, the two were thinking about each other.After bypassing the artificial lake, Sun Xiaoran said, "What happened at the beginning of the year, I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother." She later learned that her mother said that about Chu Wu, and she was so angry that she didn't speak to her mother for three days.She knew that Chuwu looked very strong on the outside, and he always looked like he didn't care about anything, but she knew that Chuwu's Ni Lin, her mother was her forbidden zone.

Chu Wu stroked the bangs on her forehead, her face was indifferent, and she said lightly, "It's all over."

"My brother has been wanting to come to you all this time." Sun Xiaoran paused, "Are you really not giving him... a chance?"

The first dance was silent.

Sun Xiaoran saw it in his heart, and said softly, "Chu Wu, we have been friends for so many years, and I realized that I really don't understand you. My brother has been silently liking you for so many years, and I don't believe you can't realize it." She curled her lips Jiao, "Do you still remember the Chinese teacher in our elementary school? There are so many people in the class, but she only favors you."

Chu Wu's eyes dimmed, and she remembered that when she graduated from primary school, her teacher gave her a sentence "Water can carry a boat and also capsize it".She was too thoughtful, and she hid everything too deeply.

"Sometimes, I really feel that you don't even have a heart. My brother says he won't force you, but I really want to hit you on the head with a gavel." Sun Xiaoran chuckled.

Chu Wu pursed her lips and smiled wryly, "Xiao Ran, Fei Ran and I are not suitable."

"How do you know it's not suitable if you haven't tried it?"

Chu Wu took a deep breath and said decisively, "I'm going to City A tomorrow."

Sun Xiaoran was startled, and then understood Chu Wu's meaning. City A, north of City N, is a city facing the sea.Chu Wu has already made up her mind to leave here.

This city made her too tired and bitter, she chose to escape, not because she was not brave, but because it hurt too much.

Chu Wuti took the train to City A. When she set foot in this seaside city, she felt reborn. The air was humid, and the wind was blowing on her face, with a soft smell of sea water.

She found a hotel near the school. It was simple, and the room was equipped with a 21-inch panda color TV.After sitting on the train for more than 3 hours, her body was slightly tired, and she lay lazily on the bed. The quilt exuded the smell of sunshine, fresh and warm, which made her feel relieved, and she curled up unconsciously and fell asleep.

She slept until evening when the phone rang in a daze.Xi Haoze has been conducting military exercises in Binhai for many years, and the exercise just finished yesterday.Now that I was free, I hung up on Chuwu.

Since the last conversation, the two of them haven't been in touch with each other before, and Chu Wu is holding the phone dumbly, not knowing what to say.

Listening to her breathing, Xi Haoze slowly raised the corners of his mouth, "Are you nervous?"

Chu Wu suddenly held her breath, she did receive a call from him, and her heart beat inexplicably accelerated.Xi Haoze chuckled, and then asked, "Is the result of the postgraduate entrance examination coming out?"

"En." Chu Wu said in a low voice.

"When is the retest?"

"tomorrow morning."

"You are in City A now." Xi Haoze said with certainty.

Chu Wu gave a soft acknowledgment, she didn't know that Xi Haoze was also in City A at this time.

After a while, Xi Haoze drove to the vicinity of University A. Chu Wu was afraid that he would not find a place, so she stood in front of the hotel and waited for him, looking left and right. The entanglement of longing but depression is more of low self-esteem.

He walked up to her, "Waiting for a long time?"

Chu Wu shook her head, "Just came down."

University A is on the outskirts of the city, and many hotels here were remodeled by nearby residents for the convenience of students.Xi Haoze looked up at the environment here, the noisy alley, mixed with fish and dragons, he frowned indistinctly, and said in a deep voice, "Go up and pack your things."

Chu Wu looked at him puzzled, and hurriedly said, "I have an interview tomorrow morning."

When the two were just talking, a couple embracing each other walked past them and walked straight to the hotel.Chu Wu's face flushed suddenly, she didn't say any more, she ran upstairs and packed her luggage.

When she went downstairs to check out, she wanted to discuss with the boss that she would not be staying here tonight, so she could charge less.

The boss glared at her, "Student, there's no reason for that. Regardless of whether you can stay overnight, you have reserved a room, and of course you have to pay for it."

Chuwu was a little bit pained, and she paid 100 yuan for not staying for one night.

Xi Haoze watched her carry her schoolbag and come out with her head drooping.

At this time, people were coming and going in the narrow alley, and shouts could be heard from a distance, "Let's go———" The man who delivered the bad water on a tricycle shouted loudly from behind, and Chu Wu was still silent. In my own thoughts, I was a little absent-minded.

The tricycle passed her side quickly, and before she could react, Xi Haoze stretched and pulled her into his arms, "What are you thinking, watch the road carefully."

He has been in the army for a long time, and he is used to being serious on weekdays. For a 30-year-old man, his tenderness has long since disappeared. When talking to Chu Wu at this time, his face is as straight as a parent scolding a child. Chu Wu He lowered his head nonchalantly.

Then he took her hand without refusal. Chu Wu's body was cold, and his hand had been cold for a long time. Now that he was holding his hand, the palm was hot and slightly sweating. She wanted to pull her hand out quietly, but the other party forcefully hold.She turned her head and glanced at him slightly, everything seemed to be a natural thing.

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"No." She received a call from him just after waking up, so she didn't have time to eat.

"What to eat?"

Chu Wu didn't even think about it, "Mala Tang."

Xi Haoze frowned, didn't say anything, and pulled her to go to the city.In fact, he has never eaten Malatang before, wondering where there is one in the city.

She guessed that Xi Haoze wanted to take her to a high-end place for dinner, and she would feel exhausted after eating in that kind of place. There are a lot of snacks near University A, grilled squid, mutton skewers, and all kinds of pancakes, all of which are tempting to look at, Chu Wu waved his hands hesitantly, "Let's eat here." She was a little worried about Xi Haoze Disgusted by this environment, he smiled cheerfully, quite boldly, "I treat you."

On the noisy street, there was the sound of shouting in the local dialect, Xi Haoze's hard heart for many years slowly softened at that moment, he chuckled lightly, and a hint of affection flashed in those deep eyes.

Chu Wu originally planned to eat at the outside shop, but thinking about it, it would not be easy for the young master Xi Haoze to eat here with her. If he really sat in the corner outside, he might starve tonight.

In the end, she chose a store, "Love Mala Tang", which has a very loving name. When she walked in, she found that most of the dozen or so tables were matched by men and women, and it still deserved the name of the store.

She handed a basket to Xi Haoze, and began to choose food by herself. Xi Haoze watched her walk up and down in front of the freezer, focusing on picking ingredients. He stood beside her and handed the basket to her, "Choose one for me." share."

"How do I know what you want to eat?"

"No vegetables and mushrooms, anything else you want." At the end, he tugged at the corner of his mouth.

It was cooked soon, and the two of them sat facing each other, the spicy hot pot was steaming hot, Chu Wu added another big spoonful of hot pepper, poured a lot of vinegar, stirred it, and there was a thick layer of red oil floating in the bowl. Sour and spicy.

She ate a few mouthfuls and kept puffing. Seeing that Xi Haoze didn't move, she thought he was disgusted, "Try it, it's delicious."

Xi Haoze has never eaten any delicacies from mountains and seas. He glanced at Chuwu, sweat dripped from the tip of his nose, and he was satisfied after eating.Surrounded by students, lovers, everything is so real, as if it just happened a long time ago.

In the end, Xi Haoze was not polite to Chu Wu, and really asked Chu Wu to pay for the treat.So that after a long time, when recalling this incident, Chu Wu would always stab him, not being a gentleman enough, and let the lady treat him.

After eating Mala Tang, the two wandered around the street for a long time. Chu Wu, like most girls, also likes to find some small things.Xi Haoze was not impatient at all, and accompanied her all the way, and the two seemed to have known each other for a long time.

She fell in love with a cherry hairpin at a stall, and the stall owner offered her 15 yuan, and she returned 8 yuan.The stall owner resolutely refused, Xi Haoze looked at her in front of the mirror with a small clip, and could see that she liked it very much.

It's just that she took off the clip and handed it to the stall owner, and said with a smile, "I'm going to take a look." Then she said to him, "Let's go, go to the front." He was a little puzzled, but she obviously liked it.As soon as I turned around, I heard the stall owner shout, "8 yuan is 8 yuan, bring one."

Chu Wu twitched the corner of her mouth, Xi Haoze clearly saw the brilliance in her eyes, and suddenly he smiled unconsciously.

Chu Wu paid the money, holding a cherry hairpin, with a smile on her lips.

"Did you say you didn't buy it on purpose just now?"

Chu Wu tilted her head to look at him, and said naturally, "Yes." She smiled grinningly, "It's like this when shopping." This is her life, she has lived like this for more than 20 years. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the life of a petty bourgeoisie, bargaining for a price. Instead, she felt that being humble and cheap was real and at ease.

Said that he was silent for a while, a little understanding, and more distressed.To be honest, this is the first time Xi Haoze has encountered such a thing, his daily necessities will naturally be arranged by someone, and the first dance in front of him is happy and indifferent.Perhaps, he never had a deep understanding of her.

Xi Haoze drove her to a hotel in the city center, and Chu Wu followed behind him with her bag in her arms.Xi Haoze looked at her vigilant expression, annoyed and funny.

When the front desk clerk asked him how many rooms he wanted, the obvious Chu Wu raised his head stiffly and stared at him with scorching eyes.

He raised his eyes jokingly, "One room."

Chu Wu was in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How many beds are there in the room?" Then she turned around and said to Xi Haoze solemnly, "We can't sleep together!"

The waiter looked at her in astonishment, trying to suppress a smile.

The air froze instantly, and even Xi Haoze, who had always been calm and composed, looked slightly embarrassed. He glanced at his face and coughed slightly.

After Chu Wu reacted, her face blushed instantly, and she whispered, "Two rooms."

Xi Haoze didn't speak, and went upstairs with his card.Chu Wu clasped her hands in confusion, followed behind him, and entered the room. Xi Haoze opened the window, and the evening breeze blew slowly.

"Go wash."

Chu Wu gritted her teeth, "I'm going back." A man and a woman live together, which makes people daydream. Chu Wu is a girl with traditional thinking. Although Xi Haoze told her about getting married, it didn't reach that point. She won't be with him casually.Although, she liked him for so many years.

Xi Haoze was silent for a while, and couldn't bear to tease her anymore. "Okay, there's another room for you inside."

Chu Wu took a deep breath, and then looked at the room. She thought it was an ordinary hotel, but she didn't expect it to be so luxuriously and comfortably furnished. The floor was covered with soft blankets, and the floor lamp radiated a warm light, which made people feel at home unconsciously. warm.

After she came out of the wash, she saw Xi Haoze lying on the bed with bare feet in a white bathrobe, his eyes closed, his brows slightly frowned, the light cast a shadow on his face, he looked tired.

Chu Wu walked over gently, half a meter away from him, and carefully looked at the corners of his eyebrows. He really changed a lot from the him in her memory. Now he is sharp-edged, calm and domineering.

Seeing his slightly frowning eyebrows, she couldn't help raising her hand to smooth it out, but the moment she raised her hand, she still retracted it, and she sighed inaudibly.Turning around, just as he raised his right foot, his body instantly crooked and fell into a stalwart chest.
