On July 6, the weather was very sunny. Basically, it can be hot enough to cause nosebleeds in people with thin and fragile nasal mucosa.
The sky is cloudless, ultraviolet rays are so high, and the sun burns almost everything on the surface. Pedestrians hurried on and hid in the shadows, and motorcyclists hurried on and hid in the shadows, too. The intersection in front of Erling Church was unexpectedly empty.
Yeah?
They were all under the shadow of the trees beside the sidewalk.
A motorcycle driver who was waiting for the red light to end secretly took out his mobile phone to browse. The dazzling reflection of the sun on the screen almost made him curse, but the temperature shown in the real-time weather forecast forced the curse back.
In the end, only a tiny "Hell..." was left floating around. It was around 1 o'clock in the afternoon and the temperature was 35 degrees Celsius. It was really too hot.
Motorcyclists try to hypnotize himself that be peace in mind is be peace in temperature.
The sound of rollers sounded, making noise on the sidewalk beside it. He looked back curiously and found a little girl whose back seemed to be about to materialize into physical fire. He wonder if she had a fight with her parents and wanted to run away from home. Thinking about it, he suddenly felt that the weather was not so hot anymore.
"I'm almost there, "The little girl put the phone to her ear and asked, "Who's there already?"
He listened intently, guessing that the other end should have answered, 'No, you should be the first one.'
"You haven't gone out yet?"The little girl curled her lips and smiled faintly, "Too support me in your guess."
The green light came on, and the motorcycle driver felt a little regretful. The moment he turned on the accelerator, a soft sentence from behind made him want to just crash.
"We are teachers, it seems a little bad to be so late. ...Otherwise, whoever arrives last will pay for everyone's dinner. What do you think?"
…
Teacher?!
He felt ashamed of himself. Originally, he thought it was miserable enough for him to still have a monthly salary of 870 dollars after five years of college graduation. He didn't expect that there would be something even more miserable.
That girl actually started to be a teacher?!Although there is no salary, it feels like she is better than him…
This world is really lonely...
The motorcycle driver drove away. The little girl put down her phone and looked up in confusion. She always feels like something is not quite right, weird.
A big drop of sweat slid down her forehead, along her collarbone and stained the light blue T-shirt. She couldn't help but click her tongue, sighing secretly that this weather was going to turn her into a burnt piece of meat.
"Oh my god, Lord Jesus, "She complained secretly, "I'm really not suitable to live in a tropical country. No matter whether it is a rain forest, a wilderness, a desert, or a tropical monsoon climate. I am about to be killed like a dryed gecko I found in the living room the day before yesterday.”
A gust of cool wind blew, carrying her slightly damp hair with sweat. The heat on the body surface dissipated a lot in an instant, and the sunlight on the ground gradually faded. She looked up to the sky in surprise. A broad and thick milky-white altocumulus cloud slowly moved from behind the Erling Church, blocking the scorching heat behind the clouds.
"Wow, thank you. "She suddenly smiled, like the most sincere smile in the world, "Love you the most."
Crossing the crossing line and stepping onto the pavement tiles under the building where Erling Church is located, a familiar voice rushed into her ears.
"Ling?"
"...Thirt?"
She turned around in confusion, then high-fived the other person proudly, and asked somewhat unexpectedly, "Have you also participated in a short-term mission?So mysterious."
"I signed up to Xinyong privately without telling you."Lin Yinxiang smiled and pulled his suitcase.
"That's right. After all, you are not a permanent member of this church. It seems strange. "She analyzed to herself, "It doesn't matter, let's go upstairs together. Do you want me to help you carry your luggage?"
"It's ok. We haven't seen each other for a long time, right?At least a year. "He put one hand on the handle of the suitcase and patted Yu Ruoling's shoulder with the other hand, "Let's talk upstairs later. I guess you probably got a lot of things happened.”
"It's a lot."She nodded in agreement, and the two of them walked out of the elevator one after another.
Lin Xinyong waved to them while operating the photocopier in the sound control room.
"Hello~, Ruoling and Yinxiang."
"Bro, would you like to ask the last person to treat everyone to dinner?"Yu said.
"Huh?Okay, it's already the meeting time and there are only two of you. "Lin Xinyong handed over two small manuals, which are special process books for short-term missionary colleagues, "Anyway, those two must be the slowest, otherwise let them help as temporary free laborers for dinner. Hehheheh."
"Those two?"Lin Yinxiang asked.
"Our twins. My brothers - the Long brothers. I forgot whether they went there last time."
Lin Yinxiang pondered for a while, "I have a little impression, it doesn't matter, we will find out when they come."
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.
Then you have to carefully distinguish who is who. Yu Ruoling smiled secretly, thinking that it took her, a face blind patient, a whole year to finally stop calling the wrong name of them. And she even guessed wrong name when choosing one of the two.
The number of people on this short-term mission was surprisingly large, probably because it was the last time they served in Tianliao, and many old members were somewhat reluctant to separate with it. She thought, in addition, the children had established a fairly deep relationship with these co-workers, even though most of the co-workers were middle school and high school students.
It is impossible to put feelings aside immediately. The ecstatic faces of the children receiving the gifts are still imprinted in their hearts. The short-term missionary veterans of fellowship said that they attended the first time and have never been absent again.
And she is the same as everyone else. For her, short-term missions are no longer a simple and insignificant camp. In it she saw the so-called responsibility - because Christ Jesus also loved them in this way, since they were clothed with God's anointing, they had the obligation to continue to inherit this love.
"Brother Yinxiang?!Why are you here?You go too?"
"Hello. "Lin Yinxiang calmly looked at the twins who looked almost identical and stood at the door looking at him in surprise. Then he realized awkwardly that he really couldn't tell who is who, "Ling, they..."
"The one with the black shirt is Long Junxi, and the one with the white shirt is Long Junyuan. "Yu Ruoling pointed to the black clothes and then the white clothes, "Older brother, younger brother."
"Ah, I'm sorry, we haven't seen each other for so long that I can't recognize you two at the moment ."He smiled and reached out to pull their two suitcases, "I'll help you put them away. We can talk a lots in the free time later."
"Brother Shinyoung, what should we do?"Yu Ruoling opened her mobile phone and looked at the messages in the short-term mission group, only to realize that everyone thought they were going to gather at Zhonggang Junior High School across the street, "They are all over there."
"Huh?Didn't I say that the first level is in the church?"The young consultant was full of questions, but he also turned off the computer host, "I have just finished printing. Let's go down and call them!"
…
"Godmother!You are here!"
…Who is your godmother, son.
"Well, Godmother, do you want some snacks?"
Ye…no.
"Did Godmother sleep well yesterday?"
Dreamed.
"Wow!Godmother and Yinxiang have known each other so early!"
Just a year ago.
"Are you interested in being a couple?"
"Puff……"
"Puff……!”
He Wanying sat on the chair at the back, patting the backs of the two unfortunate persons in front of her with both hands. Poor Lin Yinxiang and Yu Ruoling happened to be drinking water, and when they heard such a terrible words, they were so frightened that they even vomited out the water in their stomachs.
Even though everyone present is already well aware of Fong Zhiting's reflexive "matching attribute", every time they encounter, they are in panic.
Always works.
"Fong Zhiting, you are really troubled!"He Wanying took out a few pieces of toilet paper and handed them to the two victims. The harmless smile on her face made people's scalp numb, as if one could see the red pound sign on her forehead, jumping vigorously, "Hit you!"
"Why is Wanying like this?Godmother, what do you think?"
"I don't think!"Yu shouted ferociously.
"Wow, what a pity. "Fong Zhiting sat on the floor near the podium and looked back at Lin Yinxiang, "What do you think, Yinxiang?"
Lin Yinxiang said "Uhm" for a long time, and finally only came out a few short embarrassing "Hahaha..."
Yu Ruoling helplessly gestured with her fist to Fong Zhiting, a very undeterrent symbolic intimidation, and then leaned on the back of the chair tiredly and looked at the passers-by in the movie played on the projection screen.
This is one of her favorite things to do when watching movies, guessing the lives of those people and the stories behind them, observing their every tiny movement, and thinking about some endless philosophical questions. Or think of something wild and illogical.
He Wanying was in the last row with Huang Yinke and Shao Xu'an, and she was in the second to last row with Zheng Wenhuan and Thirt. Brother Shinyoung is in the sound control room, Fong Zhiting is on the podium, the Long brothers are crowded beside him, Yuan Junfan and Gu Rong'en are in the first row.
She always felt like something was no right.
Yu stared at the traffic on the projection screen, thoughts racing in her mind. She always felt like something was wrong, something she had been vaguely aware of ever since she sat down.
“Ruoling, what's wrong?"Zheng Wenhuan patted her shoulder, and Lin Yinxiang also looked over, "Why are you breathing so fast?"
"Uncomfortable?"Lin Yinxiang asked.
She shook her head and gave an unreal smile, "I'm thinking."
"Thinking about what?"
"Think..., thinking about atmosphere."
Zheng Wenhuan said "what" and turned her eyes for help to Lin Yinxiang, who was also a genius, "What does Ruoling mean?"
He raised his eyebrows in confusion, and through the clear explanation, he finally understood what "atmosphere" meant. Lin Yinxiang looked at his friend in amusement, she sat on the chair and let her side face be pressed into a flat surface by her hands.
A pair of sharp eyes with slightly raised ends were staring at the five potted plants under the projection screen. The so-called atmosphere problem is nothing more than an extremely simple level of sensitivity. It's just that she always called this sensitivity “warning alarm”.
He just wanted to call her.
"What?"Yu turned around.
Look, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said, "No. It's just been a year, and many familiar things are different."
"For example, I taller than Sister Ruoling?"Long Junyuan turned around and shouted, but was slapped mercilessly by Yu Ruoling in the air, "Okok!I'm kidding!Sister!"
"Stop talking, dear little brother. ...What is that familiar thing like?"She originally wanted to ask, but in the end she gradually revealed a strange smile, so bright that it was creepy, "Ah~"
She understands.
Shao Xu'an - her good big brother, actually started to fall in love!
*
"Sister~~!!"
"Do you miss me?"
"Don't think about it!"
"Um?"
"MISS YOU!"
“Would you like… to play games?"
"Yes!"
"Then do you miss me?"
“Miss you so much!!!!”
Very good. The straight black hair that reaches her waist is tied up high, leaving a few strands of hair that are too short and hang naturally on each side of the temples.
The neat ponytail made her look more energetic than usual. Although this kind of ponytail was once described by her aunt as very much like Shi Yanwen, a well-known character in the early Pili puppet show.
On the morning of the second day of the short-term mission, she was in charge of game activities. After discussing this time with the real teachers in the short-term mission team, they decided to continue as usual.
Kindergarten is still led by the team leader in charge of the kindergarten, and it is enough to run around on the play equipment. The rest will be taken care of by each group leader according to the grades.
The game arranged today is a sports competitive game that all children like very much - Seaweed. The rules of the game are to choose some children to sit on the ground to be seaweed, and the remaining children to be small fishes on the opposite two sides. When the game starts, the small fish will rush to the other side. At this time, the seaweed will extend its tentacles to catch the small fish, and the caught small fish will sit down on the spot - out.
The surviving small fish will repeat the process again. After five rounds, if there are still small fish that have not been caught, the co-workers will send a great white shark down to catch the small fish.
Usually this great white shark is very aggressive, but although it is very fierce, it often secretly leaves a gap of three seconds for the small fish to run away before catching it. Therefore, the great white sharks sent out by co-workers are basically Lin Xinyong or the "dad" Josh of the short-term mission team.
The fierce and gentle great white shark is quite popular among children for some reason. There have even been times when small fish voluntarily been eaten by great white sharks, and then they were very happy after being eaten.
"Teacher Blake~"
After Yu Ruoling reviewed the rules, she was about to ask who wanted to be a cute little seaweed when she heard a child calling her.
"Yes?"
"Who's going to be shark this time?"
"Um...which one you want?"
The children gathered together and showed a weird smile, shouting in unison, "You!"
"I will be die from exhaustion!!"
Everyone underneath her rolled into a ball with laughter.
