Xu Yao stood in the moonlight with a calm posture.
Meng Yao was not so calm. She was stunned for a long time, her heart beating violently, but she felt as if she was in a dream. She even confirmed it in disbelief: "WeChat?"
In the hazy night, Xu Yao didn't notice anything strange about her and nodded: "Is it convenient?"
Nothing inconvenient. It sounds very unpromising, just a WeChat account, but this is indeed something Meng Yao never dared to think about before.
High school is the closest to the word "growing up". At that time, everyone wanted to show their mature side in various ways and get rid of their childishness. In school, even if not everyone has a mobile phone, social software such as WeChat and QQ do.
In those few years, the ways to play Moments and QQ Space were thoroughly figured out, and there were also a variety of personalized signatures and avatars.
Xu Yao was considered a popular figure in high school. Many people wanted to join his WeChat and QQ accounts. For a while, Meng Yao's ears were filled with discussions about Xu Yao.
I heard that Xu Yao does not add friends at will, and it is difficult to add him on WeChat if you are not familiar with him. As for QQ, Xu Yao has set up adding questions.
Meng Yao didn't have his QQ account, so he even heard the questions added by his friends.
——How many petals does a dandelion have?
There is simply no right answer to this question.
So no one can add Xu Yao's qq.
Meng Yao remembered that someone was unwilling to ask Xi Rou, and Xi Rou said lightly: "I don't know the answer either. He hadn't set such a question when I added Xu Yaoqq."
At that time, Meng Yao did not expect to get close to Xu Yao, but she had to admit that when she heard Xi Rou's words, she could not help but feel a burst of envy in her heart.
Xu Yao set up the problem just because he had a boundary and didn't want others to enter easily.
Meng Yao had always known that she, like those who tried hard to add Xu Yaoqq but could not, would be one of the people isolated outside that boundary.
But today, a few years later, she actually walked in.
The phone is on the wooden table in the room. I wonder if Song Siqi has changed the bus, if he has sent her a message, or if he is surprised that she has not replied.
Meng Yao's mind was in a mess, and he thought of these questions inexplicably.
She allowed herself to look at Xu Yao. When her eyes rested on Xu Yao, her chaotic mood calmed down.
"convenient."
Meng Yao said: "Let me take the phone."
"good."
The door of the room was only a few steps away from the wooden table. When Meng Yao came back with her cell phone, Xu Yao walked towards her.
As expected, Song Siqi sent a message.
Meng Yao didn't have time to read it and clicked on her WeChat QR code. She didn't hand it to Xu Yao immediately. She looked at the QR code page for a few seconds. When Xu Yao turned on the scanning function and stretched out his phone, she looked like Handing out the QR code as if waking up from a dream.
A slight beep.
Soon, a verification message was sent.
Xu Yao put away the phone and said, "Okay."
"Go to bed early."
This time, he didn't look back.
The door to the next door opened and closed, and light shone through the cracks in the door and through the windows.
Meng Yao reopened the phone with the screen turned off and clicked on the verification message.
Xu Yao’s WeChat name is very simple, just two letters: xy
The avatar is a sunrise photo
Meng Yao clicked on Xu Yao's profile picture and looked at it. She didn't know where and when the photo was taken, but she subconsciously saved it.
She passed Xu Yao's verification message, paused for a moment in the remarks column, thought about it and finally filled in nothing.
Meng Yao returned to the room, sat down at the table again, and replied to Song Siqi's message. There was a new friend on WeChat, and she couldn't completely calm down and do other things for the rest of the night.
While chatting with Song Siqi, she clicked on Xu Yao's circle of friends.
The content of Xu Yao's WeChat Moments is very concise, basically sharing some songs and photos. He never vents his emotions in his WeChat Moments. Meng Yao looked at the time when each of his posts was posted and found that there would be a long gap between them.
Summer vacation is coming to an end.
Yu Yuan's arrangement is that there will be no classes for the last ten days of the holiday. Students need to relax and teachers also need to prepare for the start of school.
Before that, there was another home visit.
The main purpose is to communicate with parents about the students' situation. Some students did not come to school this summer. Some of them live with their elderly grandparents and have to help with household chores because their parents are not at home; some of them went to their parents during the holidays.
The scope of home visits is not large. Yu Yuan did not include Xu Yao at first. She planned to form two groups with Meng Yao, Feng Xiao and Tan Hong to conduct home visits. However, due to her inconvenience, Xu Yao was also familiar with these students and took the initiative. Yu Yuan's work, partnered with Meng Yao.
Because the students all live in the same village, everyone sets off together after breakfast. Feng Xiao and Meng Yao were talking next to each other. Although she and Tan Hong were getting along as ordinary colleagues during this period, it was still awkward to form a partnership. This is work. Feng Xiao couldn't bear to give Yu Yuan's advice, so he only dared to curl his lips in front of Meng Yao and said, "It would be great if we work as a team."
Meng Yao quietly glanced sideways and forward. She had selfish motives and did not agree with Feng Xiao.
The families they are responsible for have already been assigned. The route down the hillside of the school is different. When passing a fork in the road, Xu Yao turned around and called: "Meng Yao, let's go this way."
The light at this time was not so dazzling, and the soft light hit Xu Yao's outline.
Meng Yao's heart was pounding because of Xu Yao's ordinary turning movement. She said to Feng Xiao very quickly: "I'm leaving first."
"Hey..." Feng Xiao's voice was left behind by her.
The road in the mountain village was uneven, and without Feng Xiao and Tan Hong around, Meng Yao and Xu Yao naturally walked side by side.
Regarding the home visit, Meng Yao confessed that she was still a little worried.
Last night, she searched online for home visit procedures, but couldn't find anything specific.
After all, she had only been in Sunshine Primary School for so long and didn't know enough about the students' situation. Therefore, when it came to home visits, she pinned her hopes on Xu Yao.
Walking on the road, she asked Xu Yao as a matter of course: "Have you done home visits with Principal Yu and the others before?"
Xu Yao said: "I haven't done it."
Meng Yao was stunned. She didn't believe it and subconsciously said, "Is it true?"
"Really, I didn't lie to you."
Xu Yao's expression didn't look like he was joking.
Meng Yao paused, stopped where he was, and stopped walking.
Xu Yao stopped, looked back at her, and raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
Meng Yao was a little distressed and worried: "How do we communicate with parents? What should we say?"
"Feel free to express yourself." Xu Yao said and smiled.
This is too casual.
Meng Yao said: "I have no experience in home visits."
Xu Yao thought for a while and said, "I have been visited at home."
Meng Yao then remembered that Xu Yaotian's proud son was a teacher who was proud of him in the past. He represented the school in competitions. It was normal for a top student like him to be visited home because he was valued.
Being visited at home is also an experience.
Meng Yao felt relieved and finally took a step forward, looking relaxed.
Xu Yao looked at her, smiled and said, "Aren't you worried?"
The laughing voice made Meng Yao raise her head and caught Xu Yao's eyes off guard. She said honestly: "You should know the process after being visited at home. I have listened to it many times."
Xu Yao smiled again.
Meng Yao looked at him.
She didn't remember that Xu Yao loved to smile so much before. In the past, Xu Yao always walked past her eyes in a hurry.
Meng Yao walked beside Xu Yao, feeling the breeze and sunshine at this moment, as well as her strong heartbeat.
The home visit went more smoothly than Meng Yao imagined.
Although Xu Yao had never done this kind of work, he was surprisingly able to do it with ease.
In terms of understanding students, he was still better than Meng Yao. Moreover, the students’ parents have obvious trust and gratitude towards Xu Yao.
Everyone in the village knew about his support for He Yang and his subsequent help to other children. Xu Yao was welcomed in every house he went to.
Besides, Xu Yao is very good at communication.
Meng Yao discovered this.
Even if he is dealing with an old man who is very old and deaf, he can be gentle and patient when speaking.
I don’t know if it’s really because she has too little experience.
Meng Yao thought.
She has never met a boy who made her feel better than Xu Yao.
Perhaps this is the reason why she has been obsessed with Xu Yao for so many years.
In this small mountain village, most of them are left-behind children.
When getting to know the last family, Meng Yao rarely saw a young couple.
The child in this family is named Zhang Ping. He will be in third grade when school starts. He is very thin. Zhang Ping was in school during the summer vacation. Meng Yao knew about this little boy, but he didn't have a deep impression. Because he is very introverted, he will not get close to the teacher like other cheerful and lively children.
Zhang Ping's parents are very right. My father is very tall, with good features, and my mother is very beautiful.
She was so beautiful that she was incompatible with this mountain village. Meng Yao couldn't help but look at Zhang Ping's mother a few more times.
In this family, Meng Yao has the smoothest communication. Zhang Ping's parents both speak Mandarin, especially Zhang Ping's mother. She and Zhang Ping both speak Mandarin.
But there is something strange about the relationship between couples who are paired up like this.
Not close, even when they sat down to chat with Meng Yao and Xu Yao, there was a big distance between them.
Out of curiosity, Meng Yao always glanced at Zhang Ping's mother unconsciously.
She rarely interrupted their conversations and her attitude could be described as cold.
She has a beautiful face but rough hands.
Meng Yao had read some news before, and she suddenly had a bad suspicion. After leaving Zhang Ping's house, Meng Yao looked back and saw Zhang Ping's parents standing at the door watching her and Xu Yao off. Zhang Ping's father smiled when she turned around, but Zhang Ping's mother had no expression.
Seeing her looking back frequently, Xu Yao asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
After walking far away, Zhang Ping's family could no longer be seen when he looked back. Meng Yao didn't know how to express his guess, so he thought for a while and said, "Zhang Ping's mother is very beautiful."
"Um."
"My Mandarin is very standard, I can't recognize the accent here."
"Zhang Ping's mother is from out of town."
Meng Yao took advantage of the situation and asked, "Then how did you get together with Zhang Ping's father?"
This question is a bit confusing.
Xu Yao said: "I think we met while working outside."
Xu Yao finally realized something was wrong, stopped, turned to look at her, and smiled: "What are you thinking about?"
Meng Yao felt like he saw through everything.
She did think about some dark news, but thinking about Zhang Ping's father, she felt that she might be worrying too much.
Meng Yao was too embarrassed to tell Xu Yao those speculations and said, "I didn't think anything of it."
She immediately changed the topic: "The experience of being visited at home is still useful. Today's work was successfully completed."
This sentence is a bit of a joke.
Xu Yao rarely heard Meng Yao speak like this, but he didn't feel any violation.
He answered naturally: "It's thankfully useful."
Meng Yao smiled.
Walking on the narrow dirt road, there are weeds and small flowers on the roadside. When the wind blows, they shake their heads.
Meng Yao suddenly turned his head and asked curiously: "What does it feel like to be visited at home? Are you nervous?"
Xu Yao said without even thinking: "I can't. I rarely feel nervous for anything."
There was a kind of arrogance in what he said.
But yes, Meng Yao thought, his life was filled with flowers and applause, and all he received were compliments. Home visits are different for him than for others.
The distance between her and Xu Yao was clearly revealed again.
Meng Yao sighed in his heart about Xu Yao's enviable life.
"However." Xu Yao recalled it for a moment and suddenly said, "The last time I was visited at home was quite unforgettable."
"Huh? Why?" Meng Yao tilted his head.
"In the first two months of the first semester of my senior year of high school, there was already a sense of urgency to race against time. Zheng Hua and I ran to play ball as if nothing had happened. The head teacher of our class was worried that I would slip up at the last moment, and he was also afraid of Zheng Hua. Influenced by me, he called me to the office for a talk. After that, I didn’t take Zheng Hua to play ball with me. However, I was late for self-study several times in a row. The head teacher felt that I was not in the right state and was very anxious. One night I couldn’t hold it back. Come to my house to find out what’s going on.”
Meng Yao had no idea about this story.
But she could actually imagine the scene at that time based on Xu Yao's few words.
She was very familiar with the way Xu Yao played ball.
Meng Yao had never seen Xu Yao standing at the door of the classroom late for self-study, but she thought that Xu Yao would not panic. He would knock on the door calmly, stand upright with his schoolbag on one shoulder.
Xu Yao talked about this past event very easily.
Meng Yao's heart warmed when she thought of Xu Yao when she was young, and she couldn't help but smile: "Were you so arrogant back then?" she said.
Xu Yao laughed happily after hearing her comments.
"Arrogant?"
He said: "In fact, I play basketball because I have been studying for too long and want to relax. I am late because I stayed up late the night before to study questions. I went to bed at two or three in the morning and couldn't get up the next morning."
Xu Yao's aura of being a top student was so strong that Meng Yao couldn't believe it: "Are you going to stay up that late to study the questions?"
What does "you can do it too" mean?
Is this surprising?
Meng Yao's words surprised him. After a while, Xu Yao smiled and said calmly: "I'm just an ordinary person."
“If you want to achieve your goals and go further, you also have to work hard.”
