If humans lived a comfortable life, they wouldn't care too much about the passage of time. On the contrary, if they were under a lot of pressure every day and wished they could squeeze out a few more hours, they would feel that time flew by.
Qu Sen was in the latter situation. Sometimes, he even wished he could remove the battery from his watch. But in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
On Friday morning, after class, Jiang Mei reminded him again to come over for dinner. Qu Sen didn't want to go because he wasn't familiar with them. Moreover, he knew that Zhou Li would be there too. But this week, Jiang Mei had already told him twice. If he insisted on not going, it would seem too pretentious.
So, after struggling for a long time, he decided to go.
Because it was the weekend, there was only one big class in the afternoon. After class, everyone let the ducks out. Gao Bo asked for leave from Tong Qinglong, the class monitor on duty this week. He planned to go home and come back before the roll call. He also invited Qu Sen and Ke Lan to play with him.
Qu Sen said that he had something to do at night, so he left with Ke Lan.
Before he left, Gao Bo even drew two narrow parallel lines and two symmetrical curves with his hands. Ke Lan stood beside him and giggled.
The two of them were teasing Qu Sen.
They meant to ask Qu Sen if he planned to interact with the "tomboy" whose name he didn't know. Or to fool around with the beautiful girl with a good figure that he was holding on to on the day of registration.
Qu Sen had no choice but to give each of them a kick and kick them away.
On the day of registration, Li Ying asked Qu Sen for help, but Qu Sen changed the topic. But after all, he would always see Li Ying in the cafeteria every day. The guys in class would often tease Qu Sen, making Qu Sen feel quite helpless. He couldn't explain to them how the female student knew his name on the first day of registration.
In addition, Gao Bo was there when he helped Zhou Li into the registration office. Therefore, Gao Bo had an advantage over the other people in class. He knew that Qu Sen actually knew the beautiful girl who always hung out with the "tomboy".
However, Gao Bo's mouth was still quite tight. He didn't tell the other people in class about this. But this "other people" didn't include Ke Lan. Therefore, the two of them always "teased" Qu Sen.
After Gao Bo and Ke Lan left, Qu Sen first went to the washroom to clean up his camouflage uniform and training shoes. Then, he went to the public bathroom to take a shower. After changing into a set of clean summer clothes, he went out.
Jiang Mei's house wasn't far. She didn't even leave the school and lived in the school's family area. Since it was the first time, Qu Sen's name's Jiang's of course, Qu Qu Sen's. However, after thinking about it, he realized that if he carried things over, he would inevitably be seen by the other teachers.
It didn't matter to him, but it wouldn't be good if other people thought that Jiang Mei received gifts from students. Therefore, he simply went over empty-handed.
When he arrived at the school's Jiang Mei's residence, he found Building 7. It was a rather old five-story building. He entered the second unit, went up to the third floor, and pressed the doorbell of the house on his left.
After waiting for a few seconds, he heard the sound of the second door opening. Then, a boy's voice sounded, "Is that Uncle Qu?"
"Yes!" Qu Sen answered.
Then, the door opened, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy appeared in front of Qu Sen. Looking at his eyes, Qu Sen knew that he was Yue Jianjun's son.
"Uncle Qu, please come in. My mom went to buy groceries. She said that since you're here, she asked me to entertain you first." The little boy spoke methodically, but his eyes were bright. As he spoke, he curiously sized up Qu Sen.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Qu Sen had been a middle school teacher for a year, so he wasn't unfamiliar with dealing with half-grown children.
"Uncle Qu, please take a seat first." The little boy gave Qu Sen a pair of slippers and gestured to the sofa in the living room.
Qu Sen thanked the little boy and changed into the slippers. As he walked to the sofa, he briefly sized up Old Yue's house.
It wasn't a big house with two bedrooms and a living room. Looking at the layout, it should have been the kind of house where there was a corridor behind the door. On the left was the dining room, on the right was the kitchen and bathroom, and on the left and right were the old-fashioned bedrooms. Later on, it was renovated and the dining room and kitchen were opened up to the balcony on the right.
The renovation style was one of the more popular all-inclusive structures in the past few years. As far as the eye could see, the house was tidy and unusually clean.
"Uncle Qu, what do you want to drink?" The little boy waited for Qu Sen to sit down before asking.
Qu Sen knew that if he wanted to get familiar with such an old child quickly, he had to find something to chat with him. He deliberately asked, "What do you have in your house?"
"Hmm … tea, plain water, cola, and if you want to drink white wine, we have it." The little boy was quite generous and told him everything he had in his house.
"Cola then." Qu Sen pretended to think for a moment before saying.
"Okay." The little boy nodded happily and rushed to the fridge to open the door. He reached out and took out a can of cola. He stood there and stretched out his hand again, as if he was hesitating for a moment before taking out another can.
He carried two cans of cola to the sofa, opened one and handed it to Qu Sen, then opened the other can and held it in his hand.
Jiang Mei and Yue Jianjun were from a military family. Although the salary of a soldier wasn't high, the two of them had a high rank after all, so their lives weren't difficult. There was only one reason why the boy was hesitating, and that was that Jiang Mei didn't let him drink.
Therefore, Qu Sen deliberately teased him, "Did your mom let you drink cola?"
"I'm just … drinking with you." The boy laughed and found an excuse for himself.
"Okay, that's a good reason." Qu Sen nodded seriously.
If it were someone else, they would usually ask the child, "What's your name? How old are you? What grade are you? "or something like that. However, Qu Sen knew that children of this age, especially boys, hated it when people asked these questions.
Therefore, he picked up the cola and took a sip while thinking about what to say next. Although the other party was just a teenager, not to mention Yue Jianjun, he was also the child of his tutor. It was necessary to build a good relationship with him.
Qu Sen scanned the living room and saw the monitor on the computer table next to the TV. He knew what to talk about.
"Uncle Qu, do you know how to use a computer?" Before Qu Sen could speak, the boy spoke first. He also noticed that Qu Sen's gaze stopped on the computer, so he asked this question.
"I know how to play." Qu Sen gave a very persuasive answer.
As expected, the boy's eyes lit up when he heard this. He thought for a moment and asked Qu Sen, "Uncle Qu, do you know about Diablo II?"
"I do, and I'm very good at it." Qu Sen raised his eyebrows at the boy.
"Then do you know that Diablo has a 3D version?" The boy subconsciously moved his butt towards Qu Sen when the topic of interest was brought up. "My classmate told me that his Diablo is a 3D version, but when I asked the seller, he didn't even know about it."
"There's a 3D conversion function in the Diablo installation program," Qu Sen replied.
"Really?" The boy couldn't sit still and waved at Qu Sen. Then, he got up and ran to the computer. He opened my computer with the mouse and clicked on the E drive. He selected a folder and double-clicked on it.
Like a Russian doll, he clicked on seven or eight tree directories. Finally, he showed hidden files in the folder option.
