Chasing Summer

Always.

This has been, since when did it start?

When Lin Zhexia returned to the class company and stood in a military posture against the sun, she realized that she forgot to ask.

Probably before.

She thought that maybe when the two separated, Chi Yao was afraid of missing her news, so he put her on the top.

Knowing that Lin Zhexia is going on a date, other people in the dormitory are more concerned than her.

Lan Xiaoxue even helped her think about it in advance: "Should I buy some clothes and then put on some makeup? Do you know how to do makeup?"

Lin Zhexia: "...I won't."

Although she has entered university, she still faces the sky every day, which has become a habit. Moreover, the military training is exposed to the sun on the playground every day, and there is no time to learn makeup.

"Would you do without makeup?" Lan Xiaoxue was drawing eyeliner on herself. Looking at it from Lin Zhexia's perspective, the picture was horrifying. She lifted her eyelids and poked her eyes. Such a plain face? When will you go to see it, and I will transform it for you."

On the appointed day, Lin Zhexia sat in Lan Xiaoxue's place, as if waiting for execution.

Lan Xiaoxue had a pile of make-up tools spread out on her desk. Before putting on her makeup, she took a closer look at her face: "Your skin is so thin, I'm envious. I can't see my flawed skin without makeup."

Several other people in the dormitory sat across from her.

Lin Zhexia wore a skirt that Lan Xiaoxue had chosen for her, and said nervously: "You don't have to sit in a row to watch me like this..."

Qin Lei: "We searched a lot of dating strategies for you. When you put on makeup, we read it to you."

Lin Zhexia: "..."

"Did you bring the chewing gum?" Qin Lei asked halfway through her makeup.

"what?"

"The strategy says, you can chew before kissing."

"..."

Lin Zhexia spoke incoherently: "We, uh, are not so fast..."

Qin Lei: "Isn't it normal that we're all together?"

But she wasn't ready.

And she always felt that Chi Yao had also found out, so these days she just held her hand, at most she hugged her like the day she confirmed the relationship.

After putting on her makeup, Lan Xiaoxue packed her makeup bag and called her, "Big beauty, you can look in the mirror now."

Lin Zhexia picked up the mirror.

Only then did she realize that the person in the mirror was very different from the self she had always remembered.

The slightly immature face before has faded away. Under the light outline of the eyebrows and eyes, the girl's unique sense of brightness is more prominent. Before makeup, her facial features were relatively light, but after makeup, her whole face looked more striking.

It's actually pretty.

However, she didn't know if Chi Yao would also find it pretty.

Before leaving, she sent a message to Chi Yao.

- have you finished class

Boyfriend: down

Boyfriend: I still have something to do, you come here first

This note has been changed for almost a week, and every time these three words pop up, her heart still beats faster because of it.

Lin Zhexia replied with an "oh".

Chi Yao's major is special, and it is the most important major in the school, so there is a dedicated teaching building.

The teaching building is strategically located in the center.

Lin Zhexia usually goes to those buildings in the corner for class, and today is the first time she stepped into the teaching building of the ace major.

This teaching building is extremely quiet, and there are almost no loud noises in the class.

She walked up the steps to the door of Chi Yao's class, straightened her skirt nervously, and then opened the door carefully.

In fact, their class is over, but the teacher still leaves homework for homework, and Chi Yao is in charge of collecting homework, so she opened the door, and what she saw was a group of people surrounded by a person—surrounded. The man looked downcast, with his hands in his jacket pockets, looking sleepy and impatient. He wore a silver earring and sat on a chair. surrounded by people.

Someone begged him: "Brother Yao, I can't make it, can I give it to you tomorrow?"

Chi Yao didn't even lift his eyelids: "Unless you are terminally ill and have to go to the hospital right away, or go back and finish the work."

"..."

"Is there really no room for negotiation?"

Chi Yao seemed to feel something, raised his eyes, looked towards the door, and then his eyes fell on the girl standing at the door, he lowered his voice and said: "...do you think I want to stay here?"

"Stop talking nonsense, and hand it in when you're done," he added, "Don't make my girlfriend wait too long."

After he finished speaking, the group of people around him realized something.

Then Qi Qi turned his gaze to the door.

"Fuck," someone yelled, "Hi sister-in-law."

Lin Zhexia was already embarrassed, but now she was even more embarrassed: "..."

Chi Yao got up and gave her the seat: "Don't worry about them."

She really doesn't care.

She wants to be dumb now.

But apart from the embarrassment, it is undeniable that the feeling of being introduced by him in public...is quite good.

In this way, everyone else will know that he has a girlfriend.

Probably no one will give him any messy chocolates anymore.

In the middle of waiting, Lin Zhexia turned on the mobile phone software and sat there quietly reciting words.

After reciting for a while, she couldn't help asking, "Don't you think I'm different today?"

Chi Yao's eyes fell on the girl's brushed eyelashes, and he deliberately said, "It's different."

"...you're blind," she said.

"I don't see well today."

Lin Zhexia didn't want to talk to him any more, and continued to recite words, before he recited two, he said again: "I see, I put on makeup today."

It is rare for Chi Yao to have some positive feedback from his mouth, but he said it seriously today: "Very beautiful."

Lin Zhexia pursed her lower lip, suppressing the joy: "It's okay, after all, I am such a natural beauty."

With half an hour left before the movie started, Chi Yao finally finished his homework.

Although he had excellent grades in middle and high school, he hardly served as a class leader.

When Lin Zhexia asked him the reason before, he only said "trouble".

She thought about it and thought so.

This person is not easy to get along with, can't control others, and doesn't want to control others.

But Chi Yao was different when he was in college. Over the past year or so, he seemed to have become a more "reliable" person.

Although-

His attitude towards accepting homework is still very bad.

"It should be the right time for us to pass by now," Lin Zhexia walked with him to the cinema in the university city, "By the way, are you the monitor of your class?"

Chi Yao: "That's right."

Lin Zhexia: "You are actually willing to be the squad leader."

Chi Yao: "The score is too high, I can't shirk it."

"..."

Lin Zhexia's grades in their majors are in the middle, and she can't understand the world of Xueba.

The road they walked was relatively narrow, so Lin Zhexia walked ahead, halfway there, Chi Yao reminded her: "Did you forget something?"

"what?"

"hand."

"Oh."

Lin Zhexia slowed down and went to hold his hand.

The moment he touched his hand, Chi Yao clasped it back.

Lin Zhexia couldn't help calling him: "Chi Yao."

"?"

"I didn't expect," she said slowly, "You are so clingy when you talk about love."

Chi Yao sneered: "Boyfriends and boyfriends don't hold hands when they walk, you think you found a passerby and walked with him one after the other."

Lin Zhexia: "Pay attention to your words."

Although she felt that Chi Yao spoke like this, she was more comfortable.

But it doesn't mean that she won't be angered by Chi Yao.

"When you chased me before, you were very gentle."

She thought of the "abnormal" Chi Yao during that time, and finally sighed deliberately: "This may be a man."

Chi Yao moved his fingers and pinched her slender finger joints.

"That's not tenderness," he said.

Lin Zhexia didn't realize the meaning of his words for a moment.

While talking, the movie theater arrived.

Chi Yao let go of her hand and went to line up to pick up the tickets, asking her to find a place to wait for him.

While queuing up to pick up the tickets, he lowered his head, and said in his heart as if to admit defeat while looking for the ticket code, that was just too serious at that time.

Because I care too much.

Also because the person in front of me is too precious.

So the language seems to degenerate, I can't think of beautiful words, I can't think of pleasant words, and I can't be as proud as usual. In the face of her, speech can only degenerate to the simplest initial mode.

It degenerates into the four ordinary words "I like you".

Lin Zhexia stood by the side and waited for him to collect the ticket.

In fact, she and Chi Yao have watched many movies. Since childhood, they have watched popular movies in the cinema together.

But the most special, only twice.

One was Valentine's Day, and the other was right now.

When she and Chi Yao spent Valentine's Day together by mistake, she was even secretly happy when she found Chi Yao and her seat next to her when she was checking the ticket.

"Here," Chi Yao took the tickets and gave one of them to her, "Row six, number ten, is in the middle."

Lin Zhexia took the ticket.

At that time, she never imagined that there would be such a day in the future when she and Chi Yao would be able to watch a "couple movie" openly.

The movie they chose was a regular commercial movie with a good box office and word of mouth, and it was a recent hit.

In fact, what movie to watch is not important, what is important is that today is their first official date.

Chi Yao also bought her Coke and popcorn when picking up the tickets.

He held the snack bag in one hand and handed the ticket to the ticket inspector with the other.

Lin Zhexia followed him to check the ticket just like in high school.

The ticket inspector tore off the ticket stub and pointed the way: "Hall No. 3—go in and go straight and turn left to the second room."

The only difference from when she was in high school was that Chi Yao held her hand again after she finished checking the tickets.

Just like she had expected back then.

Interlocking fingers.

The hands of the two were tightly intertwined.

The temperature from Chi Yao's palm spread to her hand.

"Why are you in a daze?" Chi Yao led her forward, "Watch the way, don't go wrong again."

Hearing these words, Lin Zhexia paused.

She originally thought that the little accident in high school was only remembered by herself.

After all, it is actually a small thing, a small thing that should not be remembered like this in the long river of time.

She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you still remember... I went the wrong way back then."

Chi Yao asked back: "I will remember, isn't it strange?"

…

Not so strange.

He may simply have a stronger memory.

really. This person's next sentence is.

"It's different from some idiot girlfriend," Chi Yao said lightly, "I have a good memory."

"..."

She doesn't want to talk anymore.

The two walked into Hall No. 3, and just sat down when Chi Yao stuffed the popcorn bucket into her hands, just as the lights in the hall dimmed.

The film officially begins.

Even if the relationship has been confirmed, Lin Zhexia's state of watching the "couple movie" with him this time is no better than last time. It took her more than ten minutes to enter the state of watching the movie and recognize who the leading actors are. Who, what are they doing at the beginning of the story.

As she watched, she stuffed popcorn into her mouth.

Halfway through stuffing, she remembered that there was someone beside her: "Do you want to eat?"

Chi Yao turned his head to the side, and stretched out his hand after a while.

But the direction of his hand was not the popcorn bucket, but her mouth.

Lin Zhexia just took out a piece of popcorn from the bucket, put it in her mouth, and bit it lightly, the piece of popcorn that was sticking to her lips was snatched away by the hand stretched out sideways.

"..."

Her face turned red suddenly: "I just..." bit it.

Chi Yao didn't care, and even commented: "Sweeter than last time."

"Obviously the taste is the same," she hugged the popcorn bucket, and the plot of the movie that she had managed to remember just now was disrupted by him again, and her eyes drifted to the big screen, and she couldn't understand what the protagonist was doing now, "You can't Do you want to take it yourself, you must steal it from me."

Chi Yao had already withdrawn his hand, he leaned back and said indifferently, "I'm sick, please take me to the hospital."

"..."

No way.

Lin Zhexia planned to ignore this topic.

Anyway, with their current relationship, it seemed nothing if he took a bite of the popcorn she had bitten.

Chi Yao didn't intend to skip this topic, and lightly urged her: "Eat faster."

Lin Zhexia was upset: "What are you doing? There is a rule in movie theaters that popcorn must be eaten within a certain period of time, otherwise you will be arrested by the police."

"Whether someone called the police and arrested you, I don't know."

As Chi Yao said, taking advantage of the dim light of the movie theater, he stretched out his hand in front of her, with his wrist resting on the armrest in the middle of the chair. From Lin Zhexia's perspective, he could only see the vague outline of his arm—

"I only know that if you don't finish eating quickly, I can't catch you."
