Xu Yao didn't expect to receive another message from Meng Yao. He clicked on the picture, smiled, and replied "Nice".
There is a big difference between working in society and in college. Xu Yao is very busy at work, but fortunately he can adapt to the intensity of work.
The company has a break at noon, but if you don't talk to the children today, Xu Yao has work arrangements at noon.
After ending the call with Meng Yao, Xu Yao stood in the corridor leaning against the white wall for a moment. He looked outside through the glass window in the corridor. During the half month since he returned to Beijing, Xu Yao had actually thought about the small mountain village. He also thought of Meng Yao several times while working. After school officially started, he wondered if she would still adapt.
Xu Yao had the idea of asking, but for various reasons, he kept picking up and putting down his phone.
After receiving Meng Yao's picture and reply, Xu Yao held his phone and thought for a while, then asked: How does it feel to work?
It is undeniable that this sudden video call provided some kind of opportunity between them, and it became much easier to say many things.
Xu Yao made his tone as natural as a friend.
Meng Yao looked at the children sleeping in the audience and turned her cell phone to silent. The surrounding was very quiet, which made her heartbeat sound more clearly.
Starting from Xu Yao's words "good-looking", Meng Yao's eyebrows were filled with smiles unconsciously, and Xu Yao's seemingly caring inquiry made her heart beat faster.
For many people, secret love has a sour and bitter taste.
But not to Meng Yao.
This relationship has supported her through many moments, and it is beautiful to her. She doesn't know when they meet again, but it still has a hint of sweetness.
Meng Yao took the phone and replied: Very good
She really felt good. Although school had officially started and she was teaching first and second grade students, the students were more obedient and sensible than she had imagined, so she didn't feel tired. Meng Yao lived a fulfilling life every day.
She didn't forget to reciprocate and asked: What about you? How is your job going?
Xu Yao said: It’s okay. I’ve been working a lot of overtime recently and I need to go on a business trip next week.
Xu Yao won't be silent when he talks and makes people have something to talk about.
Meng Yao subconsciously asked: Where are you going on a business trip?
This question is actually a bit out of bounds. It is only asked in a very close and familiar relationship.
Meng Yao regretted it as soon as he went out.
She wanted to withdraw, but the chat page showed "the other party is typing."
As soon as she hesitated, Xu Yao's message was sent over: Guangzhou
This time Meng Yao didn't ask any more questions. She only said the word "oh".
Xu Yao said: Guangzhou is very close to home, only a three-hour high-speed train ride
Meng Yao didn't understand what he meant by suddenly saying this, and asked: Do you want to go back?
Xu Yao burst out laughing when he saw this message.
Only then did he realize that he had taken the topic far away.
He took it back in time: maybe there was no time
Xu Yao had been in the corridor for a long time, and his lunch break was about to end. He said something to Meng Yao, and after receiving a reply, he put away his phone and left.
In the afternoon, when it was time to get off work, Zheng Hua sent a message to Xu Yao, asking him to go to a grilled fish restaurant for dinner.
Xu Yao can cook, but rarely does it. Zheng Hua wouldn't say he knows anything about it, but he's not good at it either. Usually after get off work, he and Zheng Hua either eat out or order takeout.
Xu Yao looked at the work progress and replied: I have to work overtime for a while today, so I can't go.
Zheng Hua was puzzled: Working overtime again? Didn't you say in the morning that you should be able to get off work normally today?
Xu Yao: Not finished yet.
Zheng Hua:......
Xu Yao had to work overtime, and it was boring for Zheng Hua to eat alone. He thought for a while and said, "I'll come find you later, and then I'll go eat after I'm done. You treat me."
Xu Yao glanced at the message and agreed readily: OK
In the evening, Meng Yao posted a message on Moments with two pictures. One was a photo of her and her students in the classroom, and the other was the flowers she received. Her copy was: Happy Moments
Meng Yaofa's Moments never blocks anyone, including Song Lan. In the past, Song Lan had a habit of commenting on her WeChat Moments, but she rarely left messages, usually sent to her privately. Meng Yao had seen it but didn't take it seriously. The next time she posted on WeChat Moments, she still followed her own ideas, and she still Song Lan will not be blocked.
Song Lan found that she no longer had the ability to control Meng Yao. In fact, it was not from the matter of supporting education. There was a clue of this a long time ago. But she didn't expect that Meng Yao would resist her so completely.
Now Song Lan has blocked Meng Yao's WeChat account and cannot see her updates. But Meng Yuanshan can still do it.
Meng Yao has rarely posted on WeChat Moments. She is not someone who likes to share her life and updates on WeChat Moments, and she has never posted selfies.
This situation is really rare today.
Although it was not a solo selfie, she took the initiative to take a group photo with her mobile phone.
Whether a person is living a happy or unhappy life can be seen in many details.
Meng Yuanshan liked this circle of friends.
Song Siqi was the first person to comment on this circle of friends: This flower is beautiful! Bring me a bunch next time we meet
Later, Meng Yao’s college roommates also left messages.
Zhou Meng: Happy Holidays, Teacher Meng
Xia Shu: Look at these innocent little faces
Xi Yue: Is your school still recruiting teachers? Salary is negotiable, but students have to send me flowers on holidays
Meng Yao smiled and replied to them one by one.
Meng Yao chose to reply to the comments from other friends or relatives.
Xu Yao had just gone to the grilled fish restaurant with Zheng Hua when he saw Meng Yao's post. He had already seen the picture of flowers. He clicked on the photo of Meng Yao and his students. Meng Yao was smiling happily in the photo. Xu Yao instantly thought of the word "smiling like a flower".
Xu Yao stared at a group photo for a long time. He could see the interaction between Song Siqi and Meng Yao. He glanced at it and liked the post.
The waiter came over with the grilled fish and put it on the table. Xu Yao looked at the fragrant grilled fish and suddenly picked up his phone and took a photo.
Zheng Hua looked at him with a strange expression, puzzled: "What are you doing?"
Xu Yao is not the kind of person who takes pictures anytime and anywhere. This behavior is very strange.
Xu Yao looked calm: "It's nothing."
He lowered his head and clicked twice on his phone. The next second, he sent a new update.
There was a new friend interaction prompt in Meng Yao's circle of friends. She clicked on it and found that Xu Yao had given her a like.
She looked at Xu Yao's profile picture and was stunned for a moment, then returned to the circle of friends. As soon as she refreshed, Xu Yao's new updates popped up. Xu Yao took the picture of the grilled fish without adding any filters, just taking it casually, without any copywriting, and it was a very casual circle of friends. Meng Yao didn't know why, but he could see a sense of distant resonance in this circle of friends.
Meng Yao knew that this was her illusion. Maybe she thought her feeling was funny, so she laughed lightly.
She politely gave this circle of friends a like.
In the next few days, Xu Yao posted frequently on WeChat Moments. Things began to appear in his circle of friends that had not existed before, including the scenery on the way to work in the morning, lunch at noon, and coffee ordered for overtime at night...
Meng Yao didn't hold her phone all the time, nor did she have the habit of playing with it all the time, but strangely, she didn't miss any of Xu Yao's updates.
Xu Yao's way of posting on Moments made Meng Yao feel close to his life. She didn't have to pay attention to the weather in Beijing. She could tell whether it was sunny or rainy in Beijing today by looking at Xu Yao's Moments.
She will know what Xu Yao ate today, whether he worked overtime, and can guess Xu Yao's mood.
Meng Yao slowly discovered that Xu Yao posted on Moments at a fixed time. Coincidentally, during those periods, Meng Yao was basically free.
Meng Yao gradually developed a habit. When the time came, she would subconsciously open a circle of friends. She never commented on Xu Yao's posts, but every time she saw the posts, she would like them.
Mutual friends can see these.
Song Siqi commented on her: She looks like a loyal fan of Xu Yao
Meng Yao smiled.
She knew that she would not be the only loyal fan of Xu Yao.
On the first weekend after Teacher's Day, the school was on holiday, there were no classes, and Meng Yao also had a rest.
She didn't wake up until after eight o'clock. She opened her Moments and scrolled down for a while before she saw the Moments that Xu Yao had posted in the morning.
What he shared this morning was not the traffic, nor the sky and trees, but a game of chess.
He has not added text to his circle of friends these days. Meng Yao is a little interested in chess. She often watched her grandpa play when she was young, and her grandpa once taught her. Meng Yao remembered what happened when she was young, and still gave this Liked the post.
The weather in Yunnan is very good today, and the sky outside the window is very blue.
Meng Yao lay on the bed and didn't think much about it.
She wanted to take a picture of the sky outside the window with her phone. As soon as she turned on the camera, a new message popped up at the top of the screen. Meng Yao took the photo and then clicked on the message bar. When she clicked on it, she realized that the person who sent the message was Xu Yao.
Xu Yao asked: Are there classes today on Saturday?
This is the first time Xu Yao has contacted her on WeChat since Teacher's Day.
Maybe it was because he looked at Xu Yao's WeChat Moments every day. Meng Yao didn't feel nervous or unfamiliar because of the infrequent contact, but he still felt his heart beat a little faster. After all, the person opposite was Xu Yao, and this name couldn't make Meng Yao normal. Xin: No class, what about you?
Xu Yao’s message was answered quickly: rest.
Meng Yao thought about his friend circle in the morning. Before typing, Xu Yao sent another message: There was an old man playing chess during my morning run this morning. I watched it for a while.
No wonder.
Meng Yao felt that a pattern had entered between her and Xu Yao, but she couldn't tell what it was. She looks at Xu Yao's Moments every day, and Xu Yao also knows that she does. There seems to be some kind of tacit understanding between them, not only in the Moments, but also in the chat, what Meng Yao didn't say to Xu Yao They all seem to understand.
During the summer vacation at school, Meng Yao didn't know that Xu Yao had the habit of running in the morning. She didn't think much about it and asked curiously: Do you run in the morning every day?
Xu Yao said: Occasionally
There were no students at school, so Xu Yao asked her if she found the teaching life boring.
Meng Yao thought for a while and said: Fortunately, I am not a person who likes to be particularly lively.
This sentence has a bit of a confessional meaning. Telling the other person what kind of person I am is very thought-provoking.
But to be honest, Meng Yao actually enjoyed spending time with himself in a quiet environment.
Xu Yao received this message and smiled: I see it.
These four words made Meng Yao's face heat up inexplicably.
She changed the subject not very cleverly and said: But Feng Xiao and I have made an appointment to go to town for fun at noon.
Xu Yao asked: Are you two going alone?
Meng Yao explained: No, there is Tan Hong too.
In fact, Tan Hong was going to the town to buy some things. After learning about it, Yu Yuan casually mentioned that Tan Hong should take Feng Xiao and Meng Yao to the town to play. Feng Xiao had wanted to go in the town for a long time, but she didn't want to be alone. When I stay with Tan Hong, I insist on dragging along Meng Yao.
Xu Yao could guess the general process. He didn't say anything about Tan Hong and Feng Xiao. He just said to Meng Yao: Be safe.
He also told her that there was a store in town that supported mobile payment, and she could go and change some cash to make shopping more convenient.
This sentence reminded Meng Yao of some scenes from the last time she and Xu Yao went to town. She looked up at the star hangings hanging on the wooden window that was swaying in the breeze, and said: OK
Zheng Hua has never paid much attention to Xu Yao's updates. He has too many friends in his circle of friends, and he is not keen on checking his circle of friends until someone asks him about Xu Yao's recent situation.
Zheng Hua has been playing with Xu Yao for so many years, and has been very skilled in dealing with Xu Yao's suitors since high school.
Therefore, when someone came to ask Xu Yao what was going on, Zheng Hua's first reaction was that the person came to inquire about Xu Yao's relationship status and whether he was single.
He was about to reply when he suddenly took a closer look and realized that the person asking the question was a male classmate who had played football with him in high school.
Boys also want to ask if Xu Yao is single?
Zheng Hua looked puzzled. He deleted the original reply and changed it to: What is the situation?
The other party threw over a picture. Zheng Hua clicked on it and saw that it was a screenshot of Xu Yao's circle of friends.
The classmate said: That’s it. In the past, Xu Yao rarely posted on WeChat Moments. It was not like Xu Yao’s style to post pictures like this of what he ate on the way to work. It was too detailed, as if he was deliberately sending it to someone to see. We are all discussing in private whether he is in love?
The classmates did not say that they were discussing in private whether Xu Yao was pursuing someone?
If you are in love, you can chat privately and post everything to Moments. To attract a certain person, this behavior is more like being in the ambiguous stage.
But for a person like Xu Yao, who is admired by many stars, his classmates could not imagine him pursuing someone.
So I still use the term "falling in love".
Zheng Hua didn't hear the implication of his classmate's words. He and Xu Yao stayed under the same roof every day, so how could he know whether Xu Yao was in love or not?
Zheng Hua subconsciously denied it: I think too much, Xu Yao is not this style even if he falls in love.
This is not an unfounded statement.
That was Xu Yao's love affair in college. Zheng Hua had seen Xu Yao getting along with that girl. To be honest, Xu Yao was quite considerate and took care of her as she should, but there was nothing special about her. That period of love felt to Zheng Hua like a calm lake with no waves, and it couldn't be described as "intense".
Love has many forms and expressions, and Zheng Hua couldn't tell whether Xu Yao's relationship was one of the forms of love.
But it was not the love that Zheng Hua imagined, so many times, he felt awkward when seeing Xu Yao getting along with each other.
Later, when Xu Yao broke up, Zheng Hua sincerely sighed: "Maybe you two are more suitable as friends."
Xu Yao didn't have the sadness and decadence of a broken love. He thought for a while and said, "Maybe."
Zheng Hua said: "You guys went in the wrong direction from the beginning, so you should be friends."
Xu Yao did not agree with his idea this time, but said: "It's not a mistake."
Zheng Hua didn't understand this sentence at the time, but figured it out later.
Xu Yao is not an idiot who knows nothing about feelings.
He has loving parents, and has had countless experiences of being pursued since he was a child. If he hadn't had the feeling of being moved, Xu Yao would not have started a relationship casually.
Although this relationship did not come to an end and the development process was not as passionate as imagined, it does not mean that it was an unworthy relationship experience.
No one has done anything wrong in this relationship, and it should not be denied the meaning of its existence.
Zheng Hua studied the screenshots sent by his classmates for a long time. No wonder someone came to inquire. Xu Yao's circle of friends was too unusual and not like his style.
Zheng Hua couldn't understand it.
Zheng Hua, who always couldn't hold things back, knocked on Xu Yao's door with his cell phone. When he heard the sound, he opened the door and went in. He put the phone in front of Xu Yao and asked in confusion: "What's going on with you?"
