Chasing Summer

She bought that rubber band casually at a roadside jewelry store for five yuan each.

Very common, the kind that can be seen everywhere on the road.

There is no style.

And she usually uses this hair tie to tie her hair.

…

Lin Zhexia pinched the black hair tie and took it off Chi Yao's wrist: "Why did you just wear it?"

Because of this simple hair rope, the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

Perhaps it was her delusion, Chi Yao looked at her with some other emotions in his eyes, but those emotions were fleeting, and when he spoke again, he said: "Otherwise, how can I hold it, carry it."

Lin Zhexia thought for a while: "It's really not convenient to carry it."

She glanced at Chi Yao's hair, and said fearlessly, "You can actually tie it up."

She added: "I braided your hair when you were a kid, do you remember?"

Chi Yao: "Then you were kicked out by me, do you remember?"

Lin Zhexia: "..."

she remembers.

She secretly tied two horns for him while he was sleeping, because of these horns, Chi Yao ignored her for a week.

During the conversation, the two had already walked near the building.

Lin Zhexia pinched her hair rope and said to Chi Yao, "I'm going back first."

She ran all the way into the building, and she was not relieved until the unit door was locked behind her with a "click".

She raised her hand to touch her earlobe and found that it was as hot as she imagined.

Lin Zhexia lowered her head, glanced at the black hair rope in her hand, and found that she felt like she was on a high-speed rail. It turns out that if you like someone, your emotions will easily fluctuate accordingly.

After the long holiday, Cheng'an No. 2 Middle School presented an award to the competition team.

"It's amazing," Chen Lin praised repeatedly at the flag-raising ceremony, "I didn't expect to win the first place."

Lin Zhexia looked at the people on the stage, and recalled those short two days in Haicheng City in a trance.

Chen Lin: "Speaking of which, when you went to Haicheng City, you were discovered by Lao Liu?"

Lin Zhexia still felt very angry when she thought about it: "It's all because of Xu Ting's insanity."

Chen Lin: "However, I heard that there is gossip in the competition team. It seems that who confessed to whom?"

"..."

Lin Zhexia didn't expect such a thing to spread.

Chen Lin: "Who is following whom?"

Lin Zhexia could not disclose other people's private affairs at will, and finally said: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it, it may be a rumor."

Life at school was the same as usual, the two days in Haicheng City seemed like a short dream, nothing changed in life, but the name "Chi Yao" became different to her.

After school, Lin Zhexia does homework at home.

When encountering questions that I don’t understand, I will still habitually ask Chi Yao.

- I'm here to humbly ask for advice

- May I ask the first place in the physics competition, how to write this question?

After a while, Chi Yao sent a photo.

Chigou: [/picture]

Most of the time, class one's homework is different from theirs in class seven.

Lin Zhexia clicked on the photo and saw that Chi Yao was writing an unfamiliar test paper. On the side of the obviously more difficult test paper, a few simple steps were written with a black pen.

Lin Zhexia copied down those few simple steps.

After copying, she replied to Chi Yao with a motion picture of kneeling and prostrating.

Then she was about to exit from the chat box, but before she exited, she scanned the note she had given to Chi Yao: Chigou.

Even though there was no one in the room, she still looked back with a guilty conscience.

Make sure the door is closed and there is no other movement outside the door.

She clicked in from the friend's business card, and then clicked to modify the note.

She deleted the word Chigou, looked at the blank box of the modification note for a long time, moved her fingers, and carefully typed four words: the person she likes.

At this time, Chi Yao just sent her a new message.

Likes: Do you understand

Notes to a person sometimes represent thoughts about that person.

After replacing this note, the ordinary chat box becomes special.

But Lin Zhexia hesitated at the chat box, then revised the note again, and finally secretly changed two words: Chi Mou.

The weather always turns cool quickly, and as November approaches, everyone puts on autumn coats one after another.

Although Chengan compels students to wear school uniforms, some students will be more careful. They still wear summer school uniforms and wear their own coats.

Lin Zhexia never thought about it before, she just wore a school uniform, she didn't pay much attention to clothes.

But things are different now.

"Why do you suddenly want to wear your own coat?" Lin He asked early in the morning.

Lin Zhexia brought up the reason she had thought up long ago: "The school coat is too thin, I am afraid of the cold."

Lin He: "You were too hot last year, you fought against me for a long time, you forgot?"

"..."

At that time, she was a bit rebellious, Lin He told her how to dress, and she stubbornly expressed that she was not cold.

Lin Zhexia: "I was ignorant at that time, but now that I have grown up, I think you are right. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so we should pay attention to keeping warm."

Lin He didn't ask any more questions, she said, "I'm looking for your coat, if I remember correctly, I should have stuffed it in the closet."

Lin Zhexia rushed ahead of her: "I know which cabinet, I will find it myself."

She finally found a white coat from the cabinet at the bottom of the box. The coat had no other styles, it was loose and loose, but she subconsciously felt that it should look better than the uniform of the whole school.

It's just that when she and Chi Yao went to school side by side, Chi Yao just glanced at her and didn't say much.

She couldn't help herself, and said to him while waiting for the car, "cough."

Chi Yao said concisely: "Say."

Lin Zhexia said slowly: "Don't you feel that I am different today?"

Chi Yao: "Where."

Lin Zhexia had been busy in the morning, and couldn't help complaining angrily: "...Your observation skills are too poor, and you are the one who is talking about blind eyes."

Chi Yao glanced at her.

It was rare for a girl not to wear a school uniform today. The coat she was wearing was very big and hung loosely, and the white suit her very well. The hair is tied back smoothly.

After a while, Chi Yao turned his eyes away, it was rare that he didn't reply to her.

The bus came soon, just when Lin Zhexia thought the topic was over, before getting on the bus, she heard Chi Yao say: "The jacket is okay."

"..."

After arriving at school, both Chen Lin and Tang Shuxuan noticed her coat: "Today is very beautiful."

Lin Zhexia was a little happy: "Thank you."

She added, "What were you talking about just now? I came in and heard something about the market."

Chen Lin: "Shuxuan found a creative market on the Internet. The pictures were very beautiful. She asked us if we want to go together on the weekend. And it's not far away, just near the temple we visited last time."

Lin Zhexia glanced at the mobile phone she handed over, the market was brightly lit, and there was a long row of stalls selling everything.

Lin Zhexia: "Yes, it looks very interesting."

Chen Lin: "Then it's settled, just the three of us, will Chi Yao go? I feel that this kind of market should be more lively with more people."

In the evening, a group of people walked from the school gate to the station together.

Before Chi Yao could speak, Xu Ting raised his hand to answer: "I'm free this weekend!"

Lin Zhexia: "No one seems to ask you."

Xu Ting: "..."

Xu Ting hummed: "Anyway, I'm coming too. Since I heard it, I'll take it as you are inviting me."

Chen Lin and Tang Shuxuan were also speechless.

Chen Lin: "This person is a good mother."

Tang Shuxuan: "Was he such a mother before?"

Although they said so, they still acquiesced to Xu Ting's joining.

As for Chi Yao...

Anyway, when going out, Lin Zhexia could drag him out.

Lin Zhexia did drag Chi Yao out before going out.

"If you don't go," Lin Zhexia thought for a while while pulling people away, "Xu Ting will be very embarrassed. We are all girls, and he is the only guy."

Chi Yao: "His embarrassment has nothing to do with me."

Lin Zhexia was speechless: "Indeed."

After a while, Lin Zhexia said again: "I don't want to take the car alone, anyway, you are idle when you are idle."

While Chi Yao was being dragged out by her, he lowered his eyes and said, "Which eye of yours sees me idle?"

Lin Zhexia: "Both eyes have seen it."

"..."

The market only opens at night, when Lin Zhexia pulled Chi Yao off the bus, he could see the crowds at the market from a distance. Two lamps were lit in front of each vendor's stall, and the lights stretched all the way.

There are everything sold here, including handicrafts, food, and many weird gadgets.

Several people strolled along the way.

Lin Zhexia bought a squid skewer, bought a cup of milk tea after eating, halfway through the drink, saw the cotton candy machine, and bought a bunch of huge cotton candy with great interest.

The colorful colors are as big as a balloon in your hand.

Be extra careful when walking, otherwise it is easy to bump into pedestrians.

Chen Lin and Tang Shuxuan saw something interesting, and turned around to ask Lin Zhexia to watch it together, but when Lin Zhexia took the bunch of cotton candy from the store, Chi Yao naturally reached out to take it She took the half cup of milk tea she was holding in her hand.

There are often such small but tacit actions between Lin Zhexia and Chi Yao.

They may not be easy to detect, but others will realize that there is always an invisible wall between them and themselves that cannot be touched or seen.

Lin Zhexia was holding the cotton candy, and when she heard someone calling her, she yelled at them: "Did you call me just now?"

Chen Lin said, "That's right, come and have a look. There is a photo studio here. Shuxuan wants to take a photo. Shall we take a photo together?"

Chen Lin and Tang Shuxuan were standing at a stall called "Creative Photo Gallery".

There are many small-sized photos posted at the entrance of the photo studio, all of which were taken by previous customers at the stall.

Lin Zhexia didn't think much, and agreed.

However, when Tang Shuxuan asked the stall owner, "How much is it for a photo?", the stall owner glanced at her: "Are you the only one taking pictures?"

Tang Shuxuan turned her head and pointed at Chen Lin and Lin Zhexia: "And my friends."

The stall owner pointed to his store name, and before the words "Creative Photo Studio", there were two small characters that were easily overlooked: "Little girl, you may not have read clearly, we are the 'Couple' Creative Photo Studio .”

Tang Shuxuan: "..."

Chen Lin: "..."

Lin Zhexia: "..."

Your store name.

It might be better if you can pick out the two most important words and don't put the words so small.

Lin Zhexia was about to say forget it, when Tang Shuxuan suddenly pulled Xu Ting to her side, and then showed her extraordinary social skills to everyone: "Boss, I can shoot—this is my boyfriend!"

"..."

"He is shy, so he stood far away from me just now."

The Xu Ting people who were suddenly pulled over were dumbfounded: "???"

When he regained consciousness, the stall owner had already "clicked" several pictures at him and Tang Shuxuan.

Stall owner: "Twenty-eight, scan the QR code, is there anyone else who wants to take pictures?"

After Tang Shuxuan scanned the QR code, she pushed Lin Zhexia with her arm: "Do you want to take a picture?"

Lin Zhexia: "...how do I shoot?"

Lin Zhexia added, "Shall I disclose my relationship with Chen Lin in public?"

Tang Shuxuan pointed at Chi Yao: "No, there is still someone here."

Lin Zhexia opened his mouth, but he hasn't spoken yet.

Tang Shuxuan added: "Anyway, it's not true. It's rare to come out to play. It's just to take a picture as a souvenir. It's nothing. Let's catch Chi Yao and come here as a tool."

Tang Shuxuan spoke loudly, Chi Yao might have heard it.

Lin Zhexia's face became hot all of a sudden.

In just a few seconds, she thought of many things.

She didn't know what reaction she should show now to be considered "normal".

If acting too resistant, it seems obvious.

Just like Tang Shuxuan, because she has no interest in Xu Ting at all, so she can speak to the stall owner so frankly.

But with her personality, it would seem strange to accept it.

…

In the end, Lin Zhexia said in an unnatural tone that only she knew, "Who wants to be with him..." Shoot.

The tone became lower and lower, but the words were still not complete.

Because, she actually wanted to shoot.

She didn't even know how she stood in front of Chi Yao and asked him if he could take a photo with her: "That Tang Shuxuan, that is, I want to ask you..."

"Of course, let me first say that I didn't mean that," she said for a long time without making it clear, "it's whether you can, that, forget it. Just pretend that I haven't been here."

Lin Zhexia was about to give up, but saw Chi Yao holding the cup of milk tea, and said in a flat tone: "Why, don't you need a tool man?"

He really is! heard it!

Lin Zhexia's face was almost smoking.

When she and Chi Yao walked over, the stall owner took a look at them: "You too?"

Lin Zhexia's attitude was ambiguous: "Ah."

The stall owner pointed to the QR code on the side: "Scan it first, the price is the same, both are twenty-eight."

Chi Yao scanned the QR code with her mobile phone before she was ready to scan it.

Lin Zhexia felt a little regretful at this moment. Recalling that day afterwards, she felt as if her brain had froze at that time, rigidly holding a bunch of huge colorful marshmallows, her face was stiff, and the stall owner seemed to say "that girl, don't stand so far away" when taking pictures. , but she didn't hear it.

So the person beside him reminded her: "Lin Zhexia."

Lin Zhexia raised her head following the voice.

I saw the boy's Adam's apple moving up and down when he spoke, his downcast eyes, and the right earring that happened to be facing her.

"Come closer."
