Sludge to the Mountain Ghost

Chapter 82

Xu Rui.

"What's the matter? Have you finished talking on the phone?" Xu Rui turned around and asked, he raised an arm, put it on Lin Pai's neck and squeezed it.

"It's nothing, just hug you secretly and tell you that I like you very much."

"You don't need to tell me." Xu Rui smiled, pointed to the air next to his ear, and said, "Listen."

"What?" Lin Pai turned his face away, but saw nothing.

"Wind, there is my smell in the wind, and there is also your voice." Xu Rui walked down the steps of the grandstand with his shoulders in his arms, and said, "Every time I run, the wind tells me that you like me very much."

67. Chapter 67

The seasons change, and the cycle goes on and on. After summer, it is summer again.

In the last English class before the college entrance examination, Xu Lin took off her usual red thick-rimmed glasses and replaced them with invisible ones.

She pulled her hair back into a ponytail and looked younger than usual, like a recent college graduate.

The dark green leaves outside the window steamed with dense water vapor, and even the hormones in the classroom were ready to move.

Fortunately, under the repeated orders of the school, even the most unwilling students can barely suppress their inner restlessness, stay in their seats peacefully, and wait for the day of "liberation".

Xu Lin's teaching several classes is far less strenuous than before, and she even got the active cooperation of some students.

She maintains her enthusiasm for the subject as always, and she can always explain the same grammatical rule repeatedly.But that didn't change her decision.

Before get out of class ended, she put away the last few error-prone questions and said to the class, "This is it, your last English class in high school is over, and my last English class is also over. "

The humming of cicadas and the noise of fans were intertwined, the last whisper in the classroom disappeared, and all eyes were turned to the podium.

Half a minute later, a girl who was usually diligent in asking questions asked softly, "Mr. Xu, are you going to be transferred?"

Xu Lin shook her head with a smile, and said softly, "No, I plan to go abroad to study for a doctorate, and I won't be a teacher in the future."

She propped her hands on the podium, watching every face from left to right in silence. This is the first and last class of students she leads.

At the beginning of the next term, she will join them as a student again.

Suddenly, faint applause sounded from a certain corner.

Lin Pai turned his head to look at Xu Rui, and found that the other party was also looking at him, and they smiled at each other.A few seconds later, they, together with the whole class, spread the applause throughout the classroom.

The applause stopped sparsely, the squad leader took the lead, and the whole class stood up and bowed to her.

"Thank you, thank you very much." Xu Lin smiled, seeming to put thousands of words into a simple thank you.She bowed to them and left the classroom on the bell.

Back in the office, Xu Lin took out two tissues and wiped her eyes.Li Chanjuan walked up to her, and lightly patted her on the back twice, "I'm just saying that each of these children is more worried than the other, but they actually know everything in their hearts."

"Anyway..." Xu Lin crumpled up the paper towel, threw it into the trash can, grabbed Li Chanjuan's hand and said, "Finally, I've finished explaining to them. When I was speaking, I was always worried that I wouldn't be able to speak."

"Is it true that I don't want the establishment that I finally got?" Li Chanjuan asked her jokingly.

"Studying is more suitable for me... The great task of teaching and educating people still has to fall on your shoulders."

Xu Lin retracted her hand with a smile, and noticed two students crossing shoulders and backs passing by the window, and she recognized them as the two sitting in the corner of Class [-].Thinking of resigning, Xu Lin also found them pleasing to the eye.

"Oh, it's over!" Xu Rui exclaimed suddenly after gulping down a big mouthful of watermelon ice.

Just as Lin Pai raised the straw and was about to poke it into the drink, when he heard his exclamation, he couldn't help but froze in mid-air, and looked up at him curiously.

Xu Rui pulled the straw out of his hand, and then snatched the watermelon ice from his hand, "Zhou Ning asked me to bring him a cup, but I forgot. It's too far to go now, and I can't catch up with the next season." Class is over, you can give him this cup."

"Then what should I drink?" Lin Paido glanced at the glass of watermelon ice that had been snatched away, and followed him back despite his reluctance.

Xu Rui stretched out his hand and passed his cup over, the straw just touched Lin Pai's lips, "With me here, how can I miss a bite of food for you?"

Lin Pai glanced at him and judged that Xu Rui should not be teasing him at this time, so he lowered his head and gulped down half a cup in one go.

After letting go of the straw, he contentedly licked his lips stained with watermelon juice.

Xu Rui stared at him drinking his drink with lowered eyes, swallowed, then took back the watermelon ice pretending to be a cover-up, took a sip, and said, "You have dark circles under your eyes."

"You have it too." Lin Pai said nonchalantly.

"I learn from you every day at twelve o'clock. It's not normal for me to have dark circles. Hey, by the way, it seemed to be one o'clock last night."

"It's 12:30..." Lin Pai walked close to a wall and hid in the shadows. He retorted, "At ten o'clock, I called my grandma, so I studied for an extra half an hour to make up for it. .Didn't I let you sleep first?"

"How can I sleep if I don't hold you?" Xu Rui walked under the sun, looked up at the narrow eaves, and a few dark clouds floated not far away, and then a drop of rain fell on his forehead.

Between walking side by side with Lin Pai or walking back and forth, he chose the former, "The phone call last night seemed to be longer than usual, is your grandma okay?"

"The body is strong, but the memory is much worse than that of the Chinese New Year. Last night, my mother talked for a long time, and she remembered who I am."

"At least there is good news, if it's just a memory..."

"I'm just telling you about the situation, not here for comfort." Lin Pai stretched his neck to drink his watermelon ice, Xu Rui took the opportunity to peck and kiss him on the forehead, Lin Pai smiled, and said what he was going to say Also forgot.

"I plan to visit He Hui again after the college entrance examination. My dad asked me to bring a few words. Will you go with me?"

Xu Rui cast a consulting look at him, "I stepped on it a little bit during the Chinese New Year, and I know what the process is. You can wait for me outside when the time comes."

"Well, good." Lin Pai agreed without thinking.

They took a shortcut, and as soon as they turned into the teaching building, it started to rain heavily outside.

Back in the classroom, the class bell hadn't rung.A large group of people gathered, some of whom were distracted by the heavy rain that had just started.

When Xu Rui passed by, he heard a few words and knew that he was discussing a graduation gift for Xu Lin.

He has never been interested in this kind of group discussion, and it seems that Lin Pai is not particularly concerned.

Xu Rui recalled that when a group of people got together, Lin Pai often sat quietly on the sidelines. Several times he thought Lin Pai didn't listen at all, but when asked him questions, he was able to answer them.

Xu Rui walked around the crowd and found that Li Cheng was sitting in his seat, chatting happily with Zhou Ning.And in Zhou Ning's hand, he was holding a cup of watermelon ice that was exactly the same.

"It's done, Dad's love!" Xu Rui heavily placed the watermelon ice on the table between them.

Zhou Ning glanced at Xu Rui guilty, and said, "You guys came back too slowly...Old Litou brought me a cup first..."

Lin Pai watched with enthusiasm, and fanned the flames from the side, "He forgot to buy this cup, but your brother Rui saved it from my mouth."

"You drink mine, and I'll give you the rest." Xu Rui leaned against Lin Pai's desk, turned his hands behind his back and put the last half cup of watermelon ice on his desk, and when he retracted his hand, his fingertips lightly passed over his face.

Instead, he patted Zhou Ning's shoulder vigorously, and said word by word, "Give me a drink!"

"Just drink it up, it's a big deal, it scared me." Zhou Ning patted his heart, leaned back, Xu Rui's hand couldn't reach him, and he continued, "There are only seven days left. I made an agreement with Old Li, before we leave, we have to eat all the snacks at the school gate."

"You just said it more than once." Li Cheng added.

"Yes! Twice!" Zhou Ning held a glass of watermelon ice in one hand and said, "The task of watermelon ice has been completed."

Xu Rui sneered and shook his head, looking at him with disgust on his face, "My mind is full of food..."

Lin Pai nodded silently, then suddenly poked Xu Rui's lower back, patted his thigh excitedly, and said, "Before we leave, let's eat all the restaurants in Heshan Town."

Xu Rui looked back at him, and put his hands on Lin Pai's shoulders around his neck, like a scarf.

The embarrassment of being dismantled lasted only a few seconds, and then he said, "Okay... I can eat that rice roll ten times again!"

"Only ten times?"

"One hundred times? Just live with that old couple and eat all day long." Xu Rui pinched his face with a smile, looked at his hands and said, "Others are too skinny for the college entrance examination. You seem to have gained some flesh, I have raised you well."

"Cut..." Zhou Ning curled his lips, took a big mouthful of watermelon ice in retaliation, and said, "Just now I said that my mind is full of food, you can say this a hundred times!"

"What's on his mind?" Li Cheng glanced at Lin Pai pointingly and shook his head.

In just ten minutes, the thunderstorm that was still so powerful just now has disappeared.

The cement road is wet, reflecting the sun's rays that have reoccupied the campus, dazzling and eye-catching.

"There's a rainbow over there!" Someone in the classroom suddenly shouted.Immediately afterwards, the people who had gathered together flocked to the window
