Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even the most miserable high school students don’t have to go to school, so these people are most likely even more miserable office workers. Even on the Mid-Autumn Festival, they have no time to rest and need to get up early in the morning to work.
Han Zhou felt sad in his heart. If he had not traveled through time, according to his development trajectory in his previous life, he would probably have ended up with a fate similar to these people.
Study, take exams, go to college... Regardless of whether you choose to take the postgraduate entrance exam or a doctorate, you will eventually enter society to find a job and become a social animal trapped in a corner, working hard all year round for a high or low salary.
This is the fate of most people.
They may change jobs in the middle of their career, or they may start their own family and have their own children in the process. Then, they will unconsciously plant the advice of "study hard" in their children's hearts. In order to give their children a better future, they will work harder and are willing to struggle for this until their old age.
The children will grow up in their care and expectations, repeating the process of studying, taking exams, going to college, and finding a job as time goes by. Together with other children, they will walk on a path that is similar to what their parents once did, over and over again.
From the very beginning, the fate of most people is determined.
Han Zhou often had such feelings, but they were just feelings. The trajectory of fate was just the trajectory of fate. Regardless of whether it was really fixed or not, even if it was really fixed, it could not fix more subtle things.
And those little things are the joy of life.
For example, he was about to wake up a little rich woman on time at 7:30, which was a rare pleasure.
That's right, the reason why he got up so early was because he received an "order" from Mo Yixia last night and was responsible for waking her up at 7:30.
The original words of the latter are very simple -
"This holiday is very short. Time cannot be wasted, at least not on sleeping, unless we sleep together, then it won't be considered a waste."
Ignoring the last sentence, it is not difficult to see what Mo Yixia is thinking. She obviously attaches great importance to these two days and does not want to waste even a single moment.
Thinking of this, Han Zhou couldn't help but smile. It was still about twenty minutes until 7:30, so there was no need to rush to wake that guy up. He simply took out his cell phone and sent holiday greetings to everyone he had a good relationship with.
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
“Have fun together.”
What he didn't expect was that Lin Anyu was the first to reply. Shouldn't this guy still be sleeping at this time?
Facing his question, Lin Anyu replied: "I just came out of the Internet cafe all night and went home soon. I heard that you went to Yecheng? I was planning to have you come to my house to eat mooncakes."
"I'll be back in two days, but don't you have a computer at home? Why did you stay up all night in the Internet cafe?"
"I had no choice. Ye Lei and the others insisted that I help them to rank up. Of course, playing online games is the most fun in an Internet cafe, so I went. Just treat it as a get-together. I'll save the mooncakes for you. Remember to come to my house to get them when you come back."
Ye Lei was their high school classmate. He had a good relationship with Lin Anyu and they would often play games together.
Han Zhou replied: "Okay, then I'll bring you some Yecheng specialties. Please ask Yaya if she wants anything."
"Okay, I'm getting in the car. I'm so sleepy. I'll take a nap first. I still have to take that girl out to play in the afternoon."
"Okay, go to sleep."
Han Zhou originally wanted to ask about the progress between Lin Anyu and Bai Tongtong. After all, this guy seemed to be paying attention this time and seemed serious. If help was needed, he would also be willing to help. However, since the other party wanted to catch up on sleep, there was no need to rush and he could ask next time he had the chance.
"You too, happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
The phone rang and someone replied again, this time it was my roommate Huo Zhencheng.
Han Zhou was not surprised. In his impression, Huo Zhencheng always got up very early and went to the playground for morning exercises at 7 o'clock almost every day. It was basically difficult for the people in their dormitory to see each other after getting up. If there was no class in the morning, the other party would bring them breakfast every time he came back.
All in all, he had a very good impression of this simple roommate, and immediately asked: "Hey, Lao Huo, do you get up so early at home?"
Huo Zhencheng replied after a while: "I'm used to it. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. I want to help my family make mooncakes, but my cooking skills are poor and I don't know if I can help."
Han Zhou suddenly remembered the time when his wife called home every day at the beginning of the school year. He thought that their family must have a very good relationship, so he asked curiously, "Does your family still make mooncakes?"
"Well, I forgot to tell you before, my family is in the pastry business, so of course we can make mooncakes."
"Then today should be quite busy, right? It is Mid-Autumn Festival after all."
"Fortunately, many people bought mooncakes before today, so fewer people came to buy on the day, so it shouldn't be too busy."
"Yeah, then you go ahead and get busy."
Han Zhou originally wanted to tell Huo Zhencheng that he was in Yecheng, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. After all, Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion. Huo Zhencheng missed his family so much before, and today he probably just wanted to celebrate the festival with his family.
Given the other party's simple and sincere character, if they knew he was in Yecheng, they might enthusiastically invite him to visit or something, but he didn't want to disturb them.
Besides, Mo Yixia had arranged her schedule very tightly for the past two days, and he couldn't spare the time to see her, so he simply didn't mention it.
After finishing the chat with Huo Zhencheng, no one sent her messages for a short period of time. However, this was normal. Everyone else should be sleeping at this time. Even Gu Zheng would sleep in during the holidays. When she replied to the message, it meant when she got up.
Seeing that it was almost half past seven, Han Zhou thought it was about time, so he opened the door and walked towards Mo Yisha's room next door. The other party gave him the room card before going to bed yesterday, so he was able to open the door and go in.
To be honest, it is easy to make people nervous when you go into a girl's house early in the morning to wake her up, especially when the other person is a professional driver like Mo Yixia.
However, after seeing the other person's blushing last night, Han Zhou realized that although this girl is thick-skinned, she is actually the same as an ordinary girl. She will blush and be shy. Although she is good at talking, she definitely would not do something like sleeping naked and waiting to be woken up by others. He can go into the house without worry.
I opened the door, inserted the room card and turned on the light. At a glance, I could see a figure curled up on the big bed in the room. The quilt wrapped the whole body, leaving only the head exposed. His long hair was casually scattered on the bed, and a baseball cap lay quietly beside the pillow.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, Han Zhou still felt his heart beating faster at this moment. It was not because of any distracting thoughts or beautiful ideas. On the contrary, he felt that this moment was very peaceful, or inexplicably warm.
He didn't know how to describe this feeling.
But he was very clear about one thing: the girl at this moment was sleeping in the most natural position, waiting to be awakened in the most defenseless manner, which was undoubtedly her absolute trust in him.
He tiptoed to the bedside.
Although he didn't have any random thoughts, it was a rare opportunity after all, so he still wanted to take a good look at this guy's sleeping face.
Unlike her usual frivolous self, Mo Yixia was quite serious when she was asleep. She was lying on her side on the bed, breathing evenly, with half of her face buried in the pillow, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her right cheek with a teardrop mole exposed. Perhaps the Creator would often sigh that his casual embellishment could achieve such an effect and create such a perfect work of art.
Just as the beauty of the sculpture Venus becomes more charming because of her broken arm, this teardrop mole also further sublimates the beauty of this girl.
Han Zhou rarely had the opportunity to look at Mo Yixia like this. After all, if the other party was awake, if he looked at her a little longer, this guy would definitely say no less than ten sentences of nonsense. Although the other party usually looked calm and composed, it was far from being as natural and real as it is now.
He didn't look at her for too long and started calling her name: "Yixia, Yixia, get up."
Mo Yixia didn't move at all.
"Yixia, Yixia?"
Mo Yixia still didn't wake up. Perhaps because of the noise, she frowned slightly and buried her head in the quilt, leaving only a small part of her smooth forehead exposed.
"Yixia, don't sleep any more. It's already half past seven. It's time to get up. Yixia? Yixia!"
Han Zhou called out several times, but Mo Yixia never woke up. The biggest movement she made was to turn over and lie face up. Her long, smooth hair was spread on both sides and her expression was serene. She looked like a princess sleeping peacefully.
Han Zhou observed for a while, then asked suspiciously, "You're actually awake, right?"
Judging from this guy's previous style, she could definitely pretend to be asleep.
"Stop pretending. I can already tell. You must be pretending to sleep."
"Hurry up and get up. If you continue like this, I won't call you tomorrow."
"You're not pretending at all. I'm going to hit you on the head. Really."
"You're not afraid, right? Then I'll lift the quilt. I won't be responsible if you get exposed."
"..."
Han Zhou tried his best, but he couldn't wake up the guy who was pretending to be asleep. He could only sigh and said helplessly: "Forget it, if you want to sleep, then sleep. I'm a little sleepy too. Let's go back to the room and sleep for a while."
He turned around to leave, and the next second he heard a lazy voice behind him.
"No need to go back to the room, just sleep here."
Looking back, Mo Yixia had opened her eyes at some point, and she was wrapped in the quilt and crawled towards the bed like a caterpillar. She stretched out a hand and gently patted the empty space beside her, then retracted her hand.
"I don't mind if you sleep here."
"I mind."
Han Zhou said unhappily, "I knew you were pretending to be asleep. You are not a child anymore. Why are you still playing this game?"
"I wasn't pretending to sleep." Mo Yixia turned over with her back to him, her tone sounding a little aggrieved, "It was obviously the wrong way you woke me up."
"Haha, what method should be used? Do I have to hold a trumpet and blow it in your ear?"
Mo Yixia asked, "Did you feel like I was a sleeping princess just now?"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully: "Has your mind-reading ability developed to the point where you can use it with your eyes closed?"
He did have a similar thought just now, but the problem is that this guy didn't even open his eyes. Isn't mind reading about micro-expressions? Can this guy activate his skills now without even looking at expressions!
Could it be that the skill was upgraded due to the increase in proficiency?
Retracting his thoughts, he sighed and said, "So what? Does the princess have the privilege of pretending to be asleep?"
"of course not."
Mo Yixia said faintly, "But the most common way to wake up a princess is to give her a loving kiss. Don't you even know this?"
"To be precise, I don't want to know."
Han Zhou had a blank expression on his face. "Who knows if you have bad breath so early in the morning?"
If it were another girl, she might get angry, but Mo Yixia was unmoved and said lazily: "Then you can kiss my face, kiss each side once and I will wake up. Actually, you can lift the quilt, but you don't have the courage."
Han Zhou took a deep breath. He now hoped that this guy was really still asleep. At least he was much more obedient when he was asleep. "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and get up and wash up. Didn't you say that time is tight today?"
Mo Yixia turned over and looked at him lazily: “I want to sleep for a while, you help me wash.”
Han Zhou was so angry that he laughed: "I can wash your face, but I can't brush your teeth for you, right?"
"Why not? Put the toothbrush in my mouth and I will move by myself."
Han Zhou: "..."
He shouldn't have answered this guy.
After struggling for a while, Mo Yixia finally climbed out of bed reluctantly. Seeing her wrapped tightly in pajamas, Han Zhou felt relieved and said unhappily, "If you want to sleep in, there's no need for me to wake you up so early. It's okay to play the entertainment activities you arranged later."
Mo Yixia went to the bathroom and washed her face. She immediately became much more awake. She stretched and said, "The process of you waking me up is one of the entertainment activities I arranged."
She quickly finished washing up, walked into the room and said, "Okay, you go out for a while, I'm going to start changing into the clothes you specified last night."
"That's what you forced me to specify, okay?"
Han Zhou turned and walked towards the door. He successfully opened the zipper of his backpack last night, and Mo Yixia really brought clothes other than school uniform. Although he didn't care on the surface, he was actually quite looking forward to it.
Of course, this guy must not be able to see this... although the other party may have seen it a long time ago.
But he suddenly felt a little puzzled. With Mo Yixia's personality, she should have said something like "Do you want to see me change clothes? Then keep your eyes open and stay here." It was not her style to ask him to leave so bluntly like this...
Thinking of the other person's blushing face last night, Han Zhou's heart moved. Could this guy be shy?
Thinking of this, he decided to tease the other party, stopped and said, "I suddenly don't want to leave. Didn't you say that I can sleep here with you? Then I might as well sleep here. As for you changing clothes..."
Mo Yixia glanced back at him and said, "As you wish."
