Chasing Summer

Lin Zhexia stood up with the armrests on the side of the sofa, and hurriedly backed away before she could fully stand still.

The bridge of the nose is still aching.

In addition to the pain, she seemed to smell a little washing powder, which was the same as what Chi Yao smelled outside the alley on the day of the fight.

After standing still completely, she explained: "...I didn't stand firmly just now."

"And no one wants to rely on you. Even a dog doesn't want to rely on you."

After the moment just now, she has no idea about changing the note.

She choked out another sentence slowly: "If you don't change it, you won't change it. My lord does not remember the faults of villains, so I will let you go."

Chi Yao didn't intend to skip the topic of remarks.

He looked at her, stretched the hand that was pressed by her just now, and said, "Bring your mobile phone here."

Lin Zhexia: "?"

Chi Yao said again: "Look at the notes."

"..."

Lin Zhexia slowly opened his mouth.

I wanted to say something, but couldn't.

Because the remark she gave him seemed even more outrageous.

"I've said it all," Lin Zhexia began to feel guilty, she squeezed the phone, and quietly hid it behind her back, "I don't care about you anymore, why are you still holding on to it?"

Chi Yao asked: "What did you remark to me?"

Lin Zhexia blurted out: "Chi Yao is handsome."

Chi Yao obviously didn't believe it.

Lin Zhexia emphasized: "Really, you should be more confident about your appearance."

Although Chi Yao didn't believe it, he didn't bother to keep arguing with her. He sat with his legs bent, his hands resting on his chin, and felt a little sleepy after taking the medicine.

"I'm confident that you can step back."

Lin Zhexia seized the right time to sneak away: "Take your body temperature after you wake up tomorrow morning to see if it has dropped. The cake is in the refrigerator, remember to eat it."

Walking to the door, she remembered one more thing.

"Also, what happened yesterday," she said after a pause, "thank you."

She rarely thanked Chi Yao so politely. Most of the time, it was Chi Yao who helped her, and she still got a bargain to act like a good boy, and then the two continued to quarrel, until they both forgot the reason for the quarrel, and finally let it go.

But what happened yesterday was different for her.

she is real.

Thank you very much for Chi Yao from yesterday.

After Lin Zhexia went back, she began to make up her homework seriously.

Except for the "rebellious" period when she was a child who loved to fight, her personality is actually very well-behaved. For example, she doesn't like to delay the homework that should be done today until the next day.

However, she did not do a few questions on a set of English test papers, and she found it difficult to concentrate.

Because she couldn't help but think of the scene just now.

Just got very close.

She accidentally caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a very faint mole on Chi Yao's neck, near the back of the ear.

…

no.

What does it matter to her that he has a mole?

Why is she distracted here because of a mole.

So annoying.

She puts down her pen.

She looked at the test paper for a while, and finally gave up struggling and decided to use her mobile phone for a while.

It turned out that I just received a WeChat call from Chen Lin.

Chen Lin came up and asked, "Have you finished your homework?"

Lin Zhexia understood very well and said, "...I have finished writing, and can I ask you to copy it?"

"Hey," Chen Lin said, "It's not in vain to be at the same table, you know me very well."

She added: "I know you must have finished writing."

Lin Zhexia lay on the table and said, "I haven't finished writing, you can ask Tang Shuxuan."

Chen Lin: "You didn't write it?"

Lin Zhexia: "Today is my mother's birthday, and then I went to give it to Chi..." She said this, and subconsciously skipped this paragraph, "In short, I have been busy all day today, and I am just about to write."

Chen Lin: "Oh, that's fine. Tang Shuxuan can't count on it. It seems that I have to do my homework myself today."

After finishing speaking, Chen Lin was about to hang up the phone.

Lin Zhexia said suddenly, "Wait a minute."

Chen Lin paused when she hung up the phone: "Huh?"

"I have something to ask you."

Lin Zhexia hesitated: "That's right, I have a friend."

Holding her pen, she continued: "This friend of mine has another good friend who is a boy, but recently she seems to feel that things have become a little strange with this boy."

Chen Lin asked directly: "Why are you and Chi Yao so strange?"

Lin Zhexia almost broke her pen: "..."

Lin Zhexia: "You, heavy, new, say."

Chen Lin: "Hey, let me say it again, your friend, and her friend, how strange it is."

"They just, sometimes, start to get a little uncomfortable when they get too close."

Chen Lin pricked up her ears, thinking that she could hear some shocking gossip, and waited a long time for this: "That's it?"

Lin Zhexia: "That's it? Isn't that enough, Chi Yao and I... No, my friend and her friend used to not feel uncomfortable wearing a pair of pants."

Chen Lin was silent.

After silence, she asked, "How long ago was this before you?"

Lin Zhexia: "Eight years old, I'll grab his pants and wear them."

"..."

Chen Lin was silent again.

Lin Zhexia: "When I was still ten years old, I braided his hair, and he was angry for a long time."

Lin Zhexia: "And..."

Chen Lin: "Stop, stop."

Lin Zhexia: "?"

"Student Lin Zhexia, you are no longer eight years old, nor are you ten years old. You are now sixteen years old."

Chen Lin sighed, "It's not that you've become weird, it's because you've grown up and finally realized that Chi Yao, yes, ge, male, sheng, is a boy who can't **** his pants, understand?"

Lin Zhexia: "..."

half an hour.

Lin Zhexia said, "I understand."

In fact, she was vaguely aware of this before, but she was not as clear as Chen Lin.

Ever since she saw that new Chi Yao.

She found that she couldn't seem to be able to do many childhood things as she wanted in front of him.

"No," she quickly added, "my friend probably understands."

Chi Yao's fever is nothing serious, and his body temperature will return to normal after sleeping.

Lin Zhexia didn't believe it, and took his body temperature again.

Chi Yao returned to his usual casual and arrogant look: "I've said it's fine."

Lin Zhexia: "Maybe it's because you took medicine yesterday."

Chi Yao: "I'm fine if I don't eat."

Lin Zhexia: "..."

This person is in some places.

It is very face-saving.

In the end, she looked at the thermometer and had to admit that this person recovered very quickly.

In the middle of the winter vacation, Lin He went to the hospital for another check-up.

The test results were not optimistic.

"At your current age, the risk of having a child is very high." Lin Zhexia accompanied Lin He to the hospital, and the doctor took the test results and said, "I can't make any promises, it's what I told you last time , think clearly."

Lin He sat outside, a little distracted: "Mom is also very conflicted now, and reason tells me that I shouldn't have this child. In fact, you and Uncle Wei made a decision before we came, but..."

Lin Zhexia could understand this feeling.

During this period of time, she has gotten used to Lin He's pregnancy. When she thinks about the loss of her younger brothers and sisters, she will feel a little empty in her heart, let alone Lin He himself.

She suddenly realized that what she saw was Lin He's fragility.

In other words, it was only after she grew up that she gradually discovered that the "adult" was not the superman she thought she was when she was a child.

There are many accidents that follow in life, even adults cannot resist.

"Mom," she went to hold Lin He's hand, "Don't be sad, let's go back and think about it, no matter what you decide, Uncle Wei and I will be by your side."

Lin He came back to his senses and shook her hand back.

In the end, they listened to the doctor's advice and focused on Lin He's body, not daring to take too many risks.

Since the pregnancy period was just right, the surgery was scheduled quickly.

Wei Ping prepared a lot of things for the hospital that day, and Lin Zhexia went with him.

Because she was too worried about whether there would be any problems with the operation, Chi Yao sent a lot of messages before going, so Chi Yao also came to the hospital.

The days in my memory seem to be very long.

The long hospital corridor, the lingering smell of disinfectant, and doctors walking in and out in white coats. There is also the back of Wei Ping constantly pacing back and forth.

All of this is like a silent film, which is constantly repeated and lengthened.

Lin Zhexia's last impression of this day was that she couldn't control her nervousness and grabbed Chi Yao's hand.

After the operation was successfully completed, she realized that she had been pinched for a long time.

She let go of her hand abruptly.

"You have enough pinching with one hand," Chi Yao watched her speak, and pulled her out of the endless silent film, "Are you going to change your hand?"

"...Is it okay?" Lin Zhexia asked.

Chi Yao withdrew his hand and said, "You think well."

Lin He's surgery went smoothly.

After Wei Ping told her to go to the ward, she hurriedly packed her things for a while.

Chi Yao didn't know when she left, but after she finished packing her things, she realized belatedly that he seemed to be involved in all the big and small things in her life.

The winter vacation was short, and after Lin He was discharged from the hospital, the Spring Festival would soon be ushered in.

The originally bare road seemed to have changed its appearance overnight, and the streets were filled with lights and festoons, full of red lanterns.

After dinner that day, Lin Zhexia dragged Chi Yao to stroll in the street.

"There was nothing on this street yesterday." She was wearing a thick padded jacket, which looked like a moving white ball from a distance. "Today, so many were hung at once."

Chi Yao followed slowly and said, "Those who don't know think you live in the North Pole."

The white ball stopped and said, "I'm really different from someone who likes to look aggressive and wears ultra-thin jeans in winter and beats me to death without wearing long johns."

Chi Yao ignored her and walked straight forward.

Lin Zhexia chased after her and asked, "New Year's Eve is coming soon, are uncles and aunts coming back?"

"I don't know." Chi Yao said.

Lin Zhexia: "You didn't ask them."

Chi Yao had an indifferent attitude: "Too lazy to ask."

Lin Zhexia whispered: "They are too busy doing business outside, and they didn't come back last year. At least come back and have a look."

Chi Yao's parents are not at home all year round.

Family and career seem to be a difficult thing for adults to balance.

In fact, she didn't have a deep impression of Chi's father and Chi's mother, let alone familiarity.

The only time I had the most communication with them was because of a quarrel.

That was many years ago.

She was not sensible when she was a child, and her temper was not as good as it is now.

She saw that Chi Yao was hospitalized alone every time he got sick, with no relatives around him, only an aunt who invited a nurse to accompany him, and thought more than once: Why didn't his parents come to see him.

One day when Chi Yao's parents came home, she angrily ran to Nanxiang Street to block people.

Chi Yao's parents were just passing by and came back to pick up things.

The car was temporarily parked at the intersection of Nanxiang Street.

The two of them were about to get into the car after getting their things, when suddenly a little girl rushed out from the street, blocking the car door: "Chi Yao was hospitalized last month, did you know that?"

"Why don't you come and see him?"

"Hospitalized alone," the young Lin Zhexia said, "is very lonely."

When she spoke, she tried her best to keep a straight face and hold up the scene in front of adults: "Although he doesn't say anything, when he is alone in the hospital, he definitely hopes to see you."

In the end, Lin He was dragged home by Wen Sheng.

Lin He first apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, the child is still young."

When she got home and closed the door, Lin He educated her earnestly: "No matter what, this is someone else's business after all. How could you say that in front of other people's parents. Do things properly, don't be so reckless. "

Later, when she grew up, Lin Zhexia gradually understood what Lin He said at the beginning, the world of adults needs to be measured.

She will no longer rush over to question directly like she did when she was a child, and will greet Chi Yao's parents politely when she sees them.

…

Thinking of this, Lin Zhexia thought naively:

But whether it was when I was a child, or now.

She still felt that it was wrong for Chi Yao's parents to do so.

The two walked along the lively long street.

The street is very long, and the red lanterns festively extend all the way to the end of the street.

The street lamps elongate the reflections of the two.

Lin Zhexia is short, and his pace is actually very slow.

But Chi Yao has always maintained a speed similar to hers.

Lin Zhexia walked halfway, turned around, and faced Chi Yao face to face.

Chi Yao looked at Lin Zhexia standing under the big red lantern, smiled and said with bent eyes, "It doesn't matter if they don't come back, I will stay with you anyway."

The girl's crisp voice was mixed in the noise around her.

"You come to my house during the Chinese New Year, and we can watch the New Year together again."

Chi Yao lowered his eyes, and for a long while, wanted to answer her, "You sleep like a pig every time before ten o'clock, and you still watch the year", but the words came to his lips without saying a word.

Finally, he turned his eyes away and responded from his throat.

Lin Zhexia walked backwards, not noticing the child who was riding a buggy and rushing past.

Before she heard the sound of the buggy "jingle bell", Chi Yao grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him—

At the same time, some people on the street are lighting firecrackers to warm up the Spring Festival.

Amidst the crackling firecrackers, she clearly heard the four words Chi Yao said.

"Idiot, watch the road."
