Mask

Chapter 35: Favored by Pandora (5)
An Qiyan put her hands on Fanzhi's shoulders, and they talked in a pleasant atmosphere. Duan Yisha sat on the other side with her knees bent. Duan Yousi was not there, and the communication in the student union seemed to her to be chanting scriptures.While digging out her ears, the little girl casually picked up meatballs and bit them.

"Mo Yazi, I managed to call them." Wei Ru frowned.

Masako glanced at her, her eyes were calm and confident, and Wei Ru's restless heart gradually calmed down, so she stopped talking.

"Yazi!" At this moment, there was a call, she looked and saw Wu Xiaomei coming with a plate, and said excitedly, "Coincidentally, I saw you!"

Masako gave up a seat, Wu Xiaomei sat down, saw Wei Ru in front of her, and smiled: "Hello, Wei Ru."

"Hello, Senior Sister Wu." Wei Ru raised her face and replied.

"Not with them?" Masako asked Wu Xiaomei alluding to An Qiyan's direction.

Wu Xiaomei shrugged her shoulders: "Anyway, it doesn't matter if I'm here or not, but if you see Masako, you have to have dinner together. We haven't spoken for a long time, and we're too busy studying."

Masako looked at her with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

After chatting casually for a while, the students walked around, and a figure was passing by this table. Masako looked up and saw him, and immediately stopped him: "Yu Qi!"

Yu Qi heard the sound and turned his head. He had just arrived, and looked at Masako with the pan in his hand, and replied, "Huh?"

"It's hard to find a seat." Masako said, pointing to the empty seat beside Wei Ru, "Sit here."

Yu Qi glanced at the restaurant and sat down without hesitation.

While sitting down, An Qiyan made a movement, and Duan Yisha, who had nothing to do before, suddenly raised her spirits.She straightened up and jumped off the chair while supporting Fanzhi's shoulders.An Qiyan called her in amazement, she was very fast, overtook three or two students, landed on Yu Qi's sofa, propped her head on her hands, and said happily: "Hey, eat, what a coincidence !"

Both Wu Xiaomei and Wei Ru were taken aback, the meatball Yu Qi picked up fell off the spoon, he smacked his lips, Duan Yisha immediately handed over the meatball on the fork: "Here!"

In this way, all the attention was attracted, the cadres looked different, An Qiyan took a deep breath, patted the table with a bad face, Fanzhi stared at Masako and remained silent.

The atmosphere is still lively.

"I'm calculating the topic again, why are you here so late?" Masako sat down a little to avoid Fanzhi's attention, and asked Yu Qi casually.

Duan Yisha stared at him intently, and Yu Qi felt uncomfortable being stared at, turned sideways and replied: "Well, the handwritten mathematics notes you gave me are very useful."

"Really?" She replied lightly, "I still have two."

Yu Qi immediately looked at her, but Masako's eyes turned to Duan Yisha: "But, because Yisha asked me to borrow it, I gave it to her."

Duan Yisha froze for a moment, then turned her head and asked, "Huh?"

But the girl's brain turned quickly, and it took only half a second for her to react, and immediately smiled again: "Oh yes, I happen to be very interested in mathematics recently."

"Do you like mathematics?" Yu Qi asked.

"Hmm! I have been very sensitive to things like numbers since I was a child."

"But you failed the mock exam the day before yesterday."

"Probably there is a conflict between the problem-solving ideas and the teacher's." Duan Yisha replied in seconds.

"So..." Masako added for her, "I asked me to borrow those notes."

Yu Qi listened carefully, and Duan Yisha nodded fiercely: "Yes! However, since you are so interested in that useful manuscript, I will forward it to you!"

"Can you?" Yu Qi asked.

Duan Yisha proudly said: "Of course!"

"Thank you!"

Just this sentence made Duan Yisha giggle.

"Hey, Mo Yazi!"

On the corridor outside the classroom, Masako was going to the office to hand in her homework, but was stopped by Duan Yisha behind her.

She turned around.

Duan Yisha put her hands in her pockets, leaned against the edge of the balcony and said, "Thank you!"

"you are welcome."

"Help me once, and I'll help you once." Duan Yisha said boldly, brushing the hair around her neck, "I'll tell you how Fanzhi met my brother."

This girl knows everything.

In the classroom, Fanzhi hadn't come back yet, so Masako put the notebook on the edge of the balcony and looked at Duan Yisha.

"Fanzhi said that she and I met at a summer camp, but it wasn't true. That place is a summer camp at a good level, and a bad student association at a bad level." Duan Yisha propped up her cheeks, "I was raped by my sister It was not my brother's business to throw it in, but my brother went with me after knowing it, and then met Fanzhi inside. I don't know how she got in, anyway, she is not simple, and she and A lot of people over there are different, she doesn't make noise or talk, she is quite autistic."

"Did she attract your brother?"

"No." Duan Yisha shrugged, "My brother is not so easily attracted, but what should I say, at that time I had a hot temper and always made troubles with others, which accidentally affected her. She is also loyal. , was threatened not to confess to me, but my brother paid attention to her, and after paying attention, he paid attention to her heart, and I don't understand why she likes my brother."

"It's really hard to understand this kind of thing."

Duan Yisha raised her eyebrows and continued: "Anyway, she is as gentle as you when she is in front of my brother. I don't know if my brother has her in his heart, but I am sure that during the two months of the summer camp, She knows a lot about my brother."

She glanced at Masako, and added: "My brother, he is not a person who can easily express his thoughts, so it can be seen that Fanzhi is not simple."

The last sentence seemed to be a reminder, but it also seemed to be a provocation, Duan Yisha left after finishing speaking, Masako picked up the notebook again, and when she turned to the stairs, she saw Fanzhi walking up.

Behind her is the joking Yi Xialing, Yi Xialing loves hugging her thighs very much, and she is suddenly intimate with Fanzhi. It can be seen that she already knows that she is familiar with An Qiyan, and from the student union gathering at noon, it can be seen that she has already played into the inner core.

It seems that he has not been idle.

Fanzhi walked gracefully, and was still chatting and laughing with others when passing Masako, with extremely confident eyes.

After the first class in the afternoon, Concubine Huangfu met Masako.

The meeting was in the dance studio, the sun was just right, Masako paused in front of the door, tried hard to eliminate her resistance to this place, and then pushed the door open.

Inside, Concubine Huangfu was turning on the TV in the corner to play the video tape, she turned her head and saw Masako, and waved to her.

"What is it?" Masako stepped forward, the video was fast-forwarding, and people dancing in ballet skirts could be seen faintly.

"The Bintian River you mentioned before, I entrusted a good friend, but I couldn't contact her, so I flipped through the previous video and showed it to you." Huangfu Yifei took a sip of tea.

Unexpectedly, she would keep this matter in mind, after hearing this, Masako replied with relief, "Thank you."

"You seem to be very interested in her." Huangfu Yifei looked at her and smiled, then pressed the remote control to play, "Her temperament is a bit like yours."

The eyes moved to the TV screen, and the dancing girls looked serious. The dance studio was glowing at dusk. Their postures were slow and elegant, and their thin necks and slender arms almost drew water droplets in the air with the rhythm.

"Which is her?"

"That, the one that jumps the white swan."

His eyes were fixed on the slender girl, her hair was tied behind her head, swaying gently with the dance, and her bangs were slightly flat on her forehead.Fair skin, deep black pupils, small bridge of the nose, and light lips are similar to Masako's. Every rotation seems to move the white gauze.

Very pure and beautiful girl.

"I like her quite a bit." Masako looked at her and said to Concubine Huangfu, with an unconscious smile on her lips.

Concubine Huangfu nodded: "I also like her quite a bit, she has a very good personality."

"is it?"

"She likes You Si very much." Huangfu said sideways.

As the sun dimmed, Masako looked away, and the joy in the corners of her eyes faded a little.

Concubine Huangfu looked at her and smiled.

"I want to ask my sister..." After a while, Masako started another topic, "Why do you take care of me so much?"

The first concubine Huangfu turned off the TV, leaned over and took out the video tape: "Because I don't like that Fanzhi either."

She didn't speak, Huangfu Yifei sorted out the other video tapes and said, "And I only take care of blue-chip stocks. What An Qiyan has done is obvious to all."

Huangfu Yifei did not explain much about the last sentence. She turned around and handed the video tapes to Masako, and smiled: "If you like it, I will give it to you. She won't come to pick it up anyway. Instead of pressing it at the bottom of the box, it is better to give it to someone who appreciates it." .”

Masako took it with both hands: "Thank you."

When I returned to the classroom, the class had already exploded. The students seemed to have just received some notice and were elated.

Jian'er grabbed Masako who had just taken her seat, and said excitedly: "Masako, Masako! We can go play together after the New Year's Eve!"

"Where to go?"

Jian'er smiled happily: "It's Grai's tradition. In order to let the students relax before the exam, the students of the whole school will organize to sketch in Nanshan after the New Year's Eve. Two days and one night! The scenery over there is super beautiful!"

12
6 days after Christmas, New Year comes, and the whole school is closed for 3 days.

This year's last school day, the students were generally extremely excited. Lu Jian'er was beaming with excitement, shaking her schoolbag, and collided with Yang Xin, who was also beaming, causing a burst of laughter in the class.

The weather was quite cold, Masako put on her scarf and was about to leave, when suddenly she felt being held back, she was slightly taken aback, and turned her head.

Duan Yisha held her chin with one hand with a bitter lovesick expression, her eyes fell on Qi's back, while the other hand held on to the corner of Masako's clothes.

"what happened?"

Duan Yisha turned to her with a depressed face: "He likes to eat dumplings."

Masako sat down facing her: "So?"

"I can't make dumplings!"

Couldn't help smiling, Masako nodded and said, "Understood, I'll help you."

"Then go buy ingredients and go to your house to make dumplings!" Duan Yisha clapped her hands, and made a decisive decision immediately.

"Are you going to feed him tonight?"

"Of course! I asked. Today is also his parents' wedding anniversary. There are only their siblings at home. His sister opened the door and waited for me!"

"Okay."

On the other side, Fanzhi didn't express his opinion, but just left a sentence to Duan Yisha: "Then I wish you success tonight."

After making a phone call with Duan Yousi and reporting, Duan Yisha hailed a taxi and took Masako to the supermarket.

Before it was dark, she bought dumpling wrappers and stuffing ingredients, carried the bags in both hands, hopped around humming a little tune, and was very happy along the way.

What a lovely sister, Masako looked at her on the path home.

Duan Yisha was idling around, unwrapping chocolates and eating them, jumping up and down from time to time and asking, "Has my brother been here before?"

"came."

"Has my brother met your neighbor?"

"I have seen."

"Has my brother ever sent you to the door?"

"Send it."

"Then has my brother ever lived like this?" She said, pushing Masako to the stone wall, supporting her with one hand, pretending to be a man.

Masako laughed, "No."

"Oh."

After opening the door, Duan Yisha looked around the small courtyard curiously. Masako entered the room and turned on the light, took the bag from Duan Yisha's hand, and reminded her by the way: "My mother is not used to meeting strangers, so you don't have to care about her reaction."

"Okay."

The two changed their slippers and walked into the living room. Masako just closed the door when the little brown-haired Teddy rushed all the way. Duan Yisha in front of her was so happy that she immediately knelt down and hugged it: "Wow! Baby, you are so cute... "

Masako carried the bag into the kitchen, where the woman was sitting on the terrace to rest.She greeted, and the woman turned her head dully, her gaze resting on Duan Yisha for a second.

Duan Yisha raised Teddy's paw and waved at her, greeting her, "Hello, Auntie!"

The woman looks away.

Duan Yisha didn't care, she was devoted to learning how to make dumplings, and she and Masako went into the kitchen with Teddy in her arms.

"He likes stuffed mushrooms, doesn't he?" Masako asked while busy.

"Yeah." Duan Yisha looked at it, and said seemingly unintentionally, "My brother likes winter bamboo shoots."

Masako smiled and nodded: "Then remember to bring some for your brother later."

Duan Yishabi drew an "OK" gesture, and Teddy called out.

The light is soft and warm. Add chopped green onion, minced ginger, sprinkle salt and monosodium glutamate into the mixed stuffing, add cooking wine, first wrap one to taste the saltiness, Masako is very satisfied, and explains the details to Duan Yisha from time to time.

Little Teddy jumped to the ground, Duan Yisha rolled up her sleeves, and picked up the dumplings while listening.

"Take it easy." Masako reminded.

Duan Yisha smacked her lips, but she couldn't do it, so Masako taught her to make beautiful folds along the side of the dumpling skin.

I made several, Duan Yisha was Miss Jiao's hand, she squeezed and pinched and threw one away, in the end Masako had to do Duan Yousi's share, and at the same time help Yu Qi's share .

Duan Yisha held her chin and asked flatteringly, "Sister, what else can you do?"

This "sister" cry was very sweet, like a little girl conquered by Masako.Masako poked her on the forehead, she smiled, and then began to play with various shapes. After kneading a full love dumpling with two pieces of dumpling wrappers, she was very satisfied and advised Masako: "Cook this and cook it. this!"

The steam in the kitchen rose, and the first batch of dumplings came out, and the small ingots that were full of fat were tumbling in the boiling water, emitting a strong aroma.

Duan Yisha mixed the vinegar, filled the dumplings, and brought them out of the kitchen.

Masako turned her head and followed in confusion. Duan Yisha walked all the way to the woman's side, squatted beside her, and said while blowing the dumplings: "Auntie, I made these dumplings. Please help me to taste them." ?”

After finishing speaking, she raised her head and dipped the dumplings in vinegar and fed them to the woman.

The woman looked at her, and she motioned for the woman to open her mouth: "Ah."

Masako watched, and she didn't relax until the woman opened her mouth slowly following Duan Yisha's movements.

Duan Yisha fed the dumplings into the woman's mouth, she chewed and tasted, Duan Yisha hurriedly asked: "How is it?"

The woman swallowed.

Masako crossed her arms and said, "She thinks it's delicious."

"Huh?" Duan Yisha didn't understand.

"My mother's taste is very picky. If you can eat it, it means it tastes good."

"Really!"

Duan Yisha was super happy when she jumped up.

It was already 6:[-] o'clock when Duan Yisha was sent away, and she wondered if she would be in time for Yu Qi's dinner time.

After closing the door, the room returned to its usual tranquility, Masako sat on the sofa tiredly, and the woman was eating hot dumplings.

She looked at the woman with her forehead propped up, finally sighed, and said with a smile: "Mom, eat more if you like."

Duan Yousi was accompanied by An Qiyan during the New Year's Eve, and the woman wanted to watch the party in the living room, so Masako began to tidy up the house.

From time to time, there was the sound of roaring firecrackers and fireworks blooming outside the house. At 7:30, I received a text message from Duan Yisha, saying that the dumplings were great.

She smiled.

With only a quarter of an hour left before New Year's Eve, the woman was engrossed in watching TV. Masako turned on the light on the terrace, and took a pair of scissors to the small courtyard to repair potted plants.

"Let's count down together to welcome the new year!" The hostess on TV shouted.

Masako squatted down, pushed aside the messy branches and leaves, and cut off a bunch.

"19..."

"18..."

"17..."

The scissors were a bit blunt, so she changed them.

"10..."

"9..."

"8..."

"7..."

After she finished cutting, she swept up the dirt and miscellaneous leaves that fell on the wooden floor.

"3..."

"2..."

The woman clapped her hands with the host on the TV, and she looked up at the bright moon outside the window.

"1...Happy New Year!"

"Bang bang bang..."

There was a sound of fireworks blooming one after another, and the light of the fireworks brightened Masako's eyes. She stood in the courtyard and looked up at the colorful sky. Infected by the breath of the New Year, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Ding--"

The phone on the coffee table in the living room rang.

That call kept her waiting for a long time. It was him who called. She immediately went back to the living room to pick up the phone, and then went back to the small courtyard to look at the night sky. The moment she picked up the phone, she blurted out: "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year." On the other end, An Qiyan's voice was like thunder in the dark night, "Mo Yazi."

Masako's back suddenly felt cold, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
