Chasing Summer

The next day, Lin Zhexia was awakened by a burst of strong sunlight.

The curtains were only half drawn, and the dazzling light shone in, illuminating the entire living room.

If it weren't for the fact that the ground outside was still wet, she would almost have thought that the torrential rain last night was just an imaginary nightmare.

But she sat up from the sofa, scratched her hair, saw the neatly laid mattress and blanket on the carpet, and the memory was pulled back to last night.

The voice that had appeared in her ear last night.

And the bedtime story about the bunny is not a dream.

She took out her phone and checked the time.

8:23 in the morning.

She clicked on the contact list and sent a few messages to Chi Yao.

- have you gone back?

- Do you want to have breakfast together later?

-I'll treat you to Xiaolongbao. Don't be polite to me. I'll treat you to your fullness for free.

Chi Yao estimated that he had just left not long ago, so he replied "read".

Lin He wasn't here, and no one was cooking, so he had to go out for breakfast.

There is a row of shops at the entrance of the community, and several breakfast shops have opened side by side.

After eating for so many years, the kids and bosses in the community are familiar with each other.

Lin Zhexia pulled Chi Yao to open the door of the breakfast shop and went in. Before ordering, the boss sitting in front of the cashier greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Xia, here we come, and Xiao Chi is here too. What would you two like to eat today?" , Xiaolongbao?"

Lin Zhexia found an empty seat and sat down. She was wearing a thick white down jacket, took off her coat and said, "How did you guess right? I feel like I don't even need to order..."

The boss is a middle-aged woman who calculates the price on the calculator and joked: "You don't need to order, just scan the QR code, and if there is something that you two don't like, I will not eat it." Take your money."

The fireworks here are very strong, and the back kitchen is steaming the buns, and the moment the lid is lifted, the aroma wafts out with the heat.

Lin Zhexia asked Chi Yao: "How many cages do you eat?"

Chi Yao still hasn't answered.

Afraid that he really ordered too much, she continued: "Although I said that I can treat you to eat until you are full, breakfast should be balanced. Look at tofu nao, pumpkin porridge and so on. These are not only nutritious, but also delicious. cheaper."

Chi Yao wore a black sweater today, her hair grew a little longer, which made her eyebrows thicker, and her sense of arrogance could not be dispelled.

He snorted slightly: "Coward, is this how you treat guests?"

"..." Lin Zhexia admitted slowly, "I am a person who prefers to contradict my promise."

Everything that was ordered was delivered quickly.

Lin Zhexia started talking about Xiaolongbao last night, not forgetting her original intention, and focused on eating Xiaolongbao.

Two people each have a cage.

After Lin Zhexia finished her share, she stared at Chi Yao's share again.

When Chi Yao lowered her head to drink the porridge, she quickly stretched out her chopsticks, picked one up and put it in her bowl.

After she thought she stole three times without anyone noticing this operation, she suddenly heard a sentence: "Do you think I didn't see it?"

Lin Zhexia: "..."

She looked up and met Chi Yao's eyes.

Lin Zhexia picked up the bowl and said: "I think that a generous person like you should not mind."

"Sorry," Chi Yao said, "I mind."

Lin Zhexia: "I've already praised you for your generosity, shouldn't you take your seat right away?"

Chi Yao: "Oh, I'm stingy."

Lin Zhexia: "Then I'll eat everything, I can't..."

Before she finished speaking, Chi Yao leaned back slightly: "You spit it out."

"..."

In the end, the Xiaolongbao still went into her stomach.

After Chi Yao said it, when she was eager to steal her chopsticks again, he still chose to turn a blind eye.

As usual, Lin Zhexia spent most of the winter vacation at Chi Yao's house.

Lin He was not here for the past few days, so she ran more frequently.

There is a small blanket she used to keep warm on the sofa at Chi Yao's house, and a few comic books she brought from home to read, her favorite snacks are placed on the coffee table, besides Chi Yao's own textbooks, there are also Mixed with her textbooks and homework.

Occasionally, He Yang would run over to stay for a while because he was avoiding Mother He: "Brother Xia, those who don't know think this is your house."

Lin Zhexia was sharing a desk with Chi Yao, and the winter homework assigned by No. 2 Middle School was the same. She would glance at Chi Yao's answers from time to time.

She directly admitted: "Why are you coming to my house."

He Yang: "...you are really welcome."

Lin Zhexia: "It's okay."

He Yang turned to look at Chi Yao.

Brother Yao was holding a black fountain pen, casually filling in the answers on the test paper.

After filling it out, he raised his other hand, put the palm on top of Lin Zhexia's head, and twisted her head back: "Do the math yourself."

Lin Zhexia: "You can do the math yourself. This question is very simple, and it's not like I don't know how to do it."

He Yang felt like an outsider.

There is no place for him in this place.

Holidays are boring.

After the two of them finished their homework, He Yang asked enthusiastically, "Do you want to play games?"

Lin Zhexia glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, and found that it was the game that Chi Yao had been playing during the summer vacation.

She rarely plays games, mainly because she doesn't play well, so that it is difficult to have a sense of accomplishment. Compared with playing games, she prefers to watch dramas during holidays, or to hang out with classmates.

"Okay." Just as she didn't know what to do now, she agreed, "But I'm not very good at playing."

He Yang: "It doesn't matter if you haven't played before, Brother Yao and I will take you."

Lin Zhexia doubted: "Can you move it?"

"..." He Yang said, "Even if you don't believe me, you still have to believe Brother Yao."

So Lin Zhexia entered the Summoner Canyon like this.

When choosing a name, she thought about it and chose "Putong" casually.

After a while, the other two also came online.

He Yang's name is "Leading the audience", Chi Yao's name looks very cold, with only a period.

This game has been popular for a long time, and Lin Zhexia probably knows the game mechanism.

After the game starts, she is like a walker in a canyon, she can use whichever skill is good, and she often plays it crookedly.

Even then, she was rarely caught opposite. Every time she was surrounded by opponents, before she was about to shout "Please let me go", the period who was originally a silent jungler in the jungle would always appear by her side, and quickly deal with those people before sneaking back wild area.

So she walks very freely, even if she wants, she can go to the opposite side for a walk.

He Yang was very supportive, and boasted of her **** operation: "Brother Xia, your crooked big move just now must have your unique thinking, I know, you don't bother to beat him with a big move , you are humiliating him and trying to suppress him mentally, Gao."

"Brother Xia, you have created a chance for me with your feinted shot, and you have given me the main credit for taking this head down."

"..."

"Thank you," Lin Zhexia said, "but remember to make a draft before speaking next time."

Chi Yao doesn't talk much when playing games.

Lin Zhexia glanced secretly, he was casually operating the game character.

Occasionally a few short words popped out to her.

"come over."

"Don't run."

"he died."

It's an amazing feeling to be carried away.

No matter when and where, Chi Yao will always appear at the first time.

It felt a lot like that day near the alley, when she was unexpectedly held in his arms.

Lin Zhexia yelled "Awesome 666", but her thoughts diverged uncontrollably. While manipulating the character for a walk, she asked, "Do you often lead... people to score points, otherwise, why are you so proficient."

In my impression, the boys who are good at playing games should have brought a lot of people.

So has he brought many people with him?

Chi Yao raised his eyelids, but before he could say anything, He Yang seized the topic and started complaining first: "Him?—Pull it down, is it just his temper that still carries people?"

"The last time I played against him, I found a teammate, a girl, and that girl called him 'Brother, help' on the mic, and she didn't even bring her head back."

"Then Sister Ren asked 'Why didn't you save me just now', you know what he said."

"You know what he said, he said 'not your brother, none of my business'."

"Listen, is this a human language? How can you talk to a girl like this?!"

Lin Zhexia: "...Indeed, it would be good if he was not reported."

That's how the topic went.

Her scattered thoughts also stopped abruptly after hearing He Yang's words.

She continued to stare at the screen of the mobile phone, and she didn't have time to capture the flashing emotions, but felt that the walking pace of the game character controlled by her hand became lighter.

Lin He and Wei Ping stayed in the neighboring city for a few more days, and they came back later than expected.

It happened to be night when the two arrived home.

Lin Zhexia had just fallen asleep when she heard the sound of a lock opening at the door.

She got up from the bed, ran to the door, and hugged Lin He who hadn't seen her for a few days.

Lin He carried a lot of things in his hand: "Why haven't you slept yet? I thought you were asleep."

Lin Zhexia said, "I was about to sleep when I heard a voice."

After a short hug, she looked at Wei Ping again, and called "Uncle Wei" as a greeting.

Wei Ping smiled, put down the things in his hands, and said to her: "I brought you a gift, see if you like it."

Wei Ping would always bring her some small gifts when he came back from business trips.

But most of them she didn't like. Wei Ping was brainwashed by stereotypes, always thinking that girls like pink, princess dresses, and shiny crystal ornaments.

In fact, she doesn't like pink.

As expected, what Wei Ping took out this time was still a pink plush toy.

"This doll is very cute," Wei Ping said, "I saw it when I passed by, so I bought it."

Lin Zhexia took the plush doll and said, "Thank you Uncle Wei, I like it very much. It's just that I always ask you to bring gifts, and I feel a little embarrassed."

Wei Ping: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. How are you staying at home these days? Are you still used to eating?"

Lin Zhexia: "I'm quite used to going out to eat with Chi Yao."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Lin Zhexia returned to the room with the gift.

She put the plush doll beside the desk, and there was a shelf with a lot of small items on it, most of which were given to her by Wei Ping.

After she finished, she stared at the doll for a while.

When she lay down on the bed again, she found that her drowsiness disappeared after being interrupted.

Because the experience in the canyon during the day was so good, she turned over and couldn't help but log in to the game, eager to try.

She had been winning streak during the day, so she had the illusion that she could do the same with Chi Yao, and wanted to go up and fight five opponents alone.

As soon as she boarded the game, she glanced at her friends list and didn't see the period.

Lin Zhexia went through it all over again.

This time I found the cat head portrait, but the game name displayed next to the portrait is no longer a period, but four words:

The piglet fell into the water.

Lin Zhexia glanced at her nickname "Putong": "..."

She cut out from the game interface and clicked on the chat box with Chi Yao.

His fingers tapped **** the screen, and he sent out a sentence.

-you are a pig!

The author has something to say:

Xiao Chi, some men are scheming.
