Chasing Summer

Lin Zhexia did well in the final exam.

After the exam, there is a short three-day holiday.

"Shall we go back on vacation?" Lin Zhexia came out of the examination room, Chi Yao was leaning in the corridor waiting for her, she asked, "You can stay at my house."

Chi Yao didn't take the opportunity to play: "I told He Yang, I'll go to his house."

"Why? Why don't you live in my house directly?"

Lin Zhexia wanted to say, "Anyway, I lived there when I was a child", but Chi Yao put a finger on her forehead and warned, "It's not good."

"...what's wrong."

"Not good for you," he said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."

"..."

Lin Zhexia froze for a moment, then stepped back, avoiding his hand: "I think you are right, it is better for you to live in He Yang's house, and it is not suitable to live in my house."

Speaking of He Yang, she thought of another thing: "The circle of friends you posted before, and the changed signature, many people commented, how did you reply?"

While talking, the two walked downstairs.

Chi Yao: "No reply."

Lin Zhexia breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine if you don't reply, I don't even know how to tell them."

"I didn't reply, it's not that I don't know what to say," Chi Yao glanced at her, "It's that I don't know when you want to make it public."

He said coolly again: "Why, according to what you mean, you don't want to give me a title, do you?"

"Of course I don't mean that."

Lin Zhexia said in words, "I just thought that it would be difficult for them to accept it at first. If it is to be made public, it may have to be done step by step."

Chi Yao: "You are quite strategic."

It's not that she has a strategy, it's that they are together, it should be difficult for those people in Nanxiang Street to accept.

The good brother who grew up wearing a pair of pants is officially announced.

No matter how you think about it, it's quite scary.

Lin Zhexia finally said: "He Yang is going back too? Then let's talk to him first and see how he reacts."

Lin Zhexia and Chi Yao's love affair plan was made public, and He Yang was chosen as the first person to be made public.

However, they didn't know how embarrassed He Yang, the only insider, felt.

He Yang thought that the day he went home from vacation was just an ordinary day.

He simply packed up his things, and before leaving, he was called out to have a meal by two good brothers.

"Why did you invite me to dinner again?" He happily went over to eat and drink, "It's too polite."

He Yang: "Is this the beauty that comes from distance? Usually we are close, and you don't like to talk to me. Now I'm going to Lianyun Normal University, so I miss my buddies."

Lin Zhexia lowered her head and silently stared at the rice in the bowl: "...well. You can understand it that way."

He Yang: "I have packed all my things, and we can go straight after dinner later."

Lin Zhexia was full of words and didn't know where to start.

Finally, she raised her eyes to look at Chi Yao.

Chi Yao received her distress signal, so he put down his chopsticks, and tapped his fingers on the table: "Hello."

He Yang: "I have a name, not Hey, you can call me Xiao Yangyang."

"..."

Chi Yao didn't bother to talk to him, he let go of his curled fingers in front of him, and then grabbed Lin Zhexia's hand without saying a word.

Lin Zhexia's hand was originally hanging under the table, but after being held by him, he put it on in a grandiose manner. After putting it on the table, Chi Yao changed his posture into a tighter interlocking fingers as usual, facing He Yang's line of sight.

"..."

When He Yang ate the food in his mouth, he couldn't hold it anymore.

In fact, he can probably guess what happened between the two of them during this period from the two people's circle of friends, and Lin Zhexia's sudden unilateral change of avatar.

But he didn't expect that he would face a bright official announcement.

He Yang is still stuffing food into his mouth mechanically with his hands, his brain is running slowly: his current character is an innocent boy who doesn't know anything.

He should make this character design, and in such a situation, he should have a normal reaction!

next second—

He squirted the rice out.

Lin Zhexia and Chi Yao avoided it together.

Chi Yao: "Even food can't keep your mouth shut."

Lin Zhexia: "Be civilized."

He Yang contributed the most wonderful acting skills in his life. He stood up abruptly and pointed at them with a trembling finger: "You... what are you doing! There is a large audience, holding hands suddenly, what do you want to do!"

Chi Yao: "..."

Lin Zhexia: "..."

Lin Zhexia felt a little regretful, she shouldn't have said "be more civilized" just now, she should have said "be more normal".

Chi Yao is unruffled in the face of danger, showing an extremely steady state of mind in showing affection.

He lightly rubbed the knuckles of Lin Zhexia's fingers with his fingertips, and then asked ambiguously, "What do you think we are doing?"

"What, you want to play tricks on me? Am I, He Yang, such an easy-to-deceive person?"

"..."

Chi Yao pursed his lower lip, suppressed the urge to beat him up first, and said flatly, "No one has the time to lie to you."

"As you can see," he added, "we're together."

At this moment, He Yang's brain continued to run rapidly.

What should he do now?

What response would appear more real?

He thought for half a second, sat down slowly, and then fell off the chair to express his shock at the moment: "What—you, you are together?!"

"Oh my God, I'm really shocked. There's nothing wrong with my ears, am I right, or am I dreaming now?" He Yang got up and turned around in a circle, as if looking for something My own lost soul, "I'm so surprised."

"Aren't we best friends—my best friend, and another one of my best friends, how did this happen, what happened between you, when did you get together, how did you get together?"

Chi Yao: "..."

Lin Zhexia: "..."

There's something wrong with this reaction.

Lin Zhexia hesitated and asked Chi Yao in a low voice: "Is he... crazy?"

Chi Yao looked at He Yang who was circling on the spot, and didn't refute: "Remove the question, you can use an affirmative sentence."

"..."

Originally, the people she and Chi Yao wanted to tell were Lin He and Wei Ping.

After He Yang went crazy on the spot, Lin Zhexia didn't dare to tell Lin He.

In case Lin He also collapses...

After arriving home, Lin He and Wei Ping deliberately took time off and waited for her at home: "I'm back, I thought Lian University is in this city, and you can go home often. I didn't expect that you will be so busy when you go to university."

"Mom, Uncle Wei," Lin Zhexia put down his things, and hugged them one by one, "I just entered school, I'm busy, and I'll come back often when I stabilize."

Lin He: "Okay, between mother and daughter, there is no need to say such polite words that I don't even believe."

Lin Zhexia: "Xiao He, you are still as sharp as ever."

Lin He: "Is it itchy when you come back?"

Lin Zhexia smiled, and sat on the sofa to eat the fruit that Wei Ping had cut for her in advance.

Back home, more comfortable and familiar.

When the three of them returned to Nanxiang Street just now, when they passed by the street sign of Nanxiang Street side by side, they met several other Faxiao who had returned home from vacation. They gathered at the gate of the community and chatted for a while. The illusion of never leaving here.

"Mom," Lin Zhexia ate the fruit and began to test, "University... a lot of people are in love."

Lin He turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner: "That's not normal. You can fall in love in college, but girls, you must protect yourself."

Lin Zhexia then asked: "What if I talk about it too?"

Lin He: "Let's talk then."

Lin Zhexia: "Oh."

After "Oh", she purposely waited for a while before saying, "Chi Yao is back too."

Lin He was not surprised: "Did he go to He Yang's house? It's just right, let him come over for dinner later. You are in the same school as him, and you must have caused trouble to others."

Lin Zhexia protested in a low voice: "You make me sound like a troublemaker."

"..."

The house fell silent.

Wei Ping went into the house to get things, and Lin He started chopping vegetables.

Lin Zhexia walked to the kitchen door with a toothpick in her mouth, looked at Lin He for a while, and said, "Mom, what do you think... Chi Yao?"

Lin He: "Very good."

Lin Zhexia's heart hadn't had time to settle down, but Lin He raised it up with the next sentence: "I look at him as if I look at my son."

"..."

In this way...

For Lin He, it means her daughter and son are together.

"What's the matter, did he fall in love in college?" Lin He asked again.

"Uh," Lin Zhexia's prepared words got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say anything. She avoided the topic, "How long is the meal? I'll call him."

"Half an hour, you can send him a message in advance and ask him to come."

Lin Zhexia huddled on the sofa and sent a message to Chi Yao: There is still half an hour for dinner, why don't you come over now?

Boyfriend: Got it

Lin Zhexia continued typing: By the way, I haven't told my mother yet.

-because

- she thinks you mean to her

- like a real son.

Boy friend:…

Lin Zhexia typed the next line hesitantly: How about we... don't make it public. It feels a bit like incest.

Chi Yao did not reply to this message.

About five minutes later, their doorbell was rang.

Wei Ping went to open the door: "Chi Yao, Uncle hasn't seen you for a long time, let Uncle take a good look - I haven't seen you for more than a year, you look even more handsome."

Wei Ping may have just heard the conversation between her and Lin He, and then said: "I'm in college, are you in love?"

Lin Zhexia coughed, squeezed behind Wei Ping, and dragged Chi Yao into the door: "Uncle Wei, don't pry into other people's privacy casually. In fact, he is very shy in this regard, and he doesn't like to talk about it."

Wei Ping: "Huh?"

Why didn't he see that Chi Yao was shy.

After Chi Yao entered the room, he was treated better than her. Since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, both Lin He and Wei Ping wanted to tell him a lot.

Chi Yao was sitting next to her, and he couldn't directly reveal the relationship between the two of them. He could only interact with her through some small actions that only the two of them knew.

"Have the family affairs been resolved? How is mother's health?"

"Well, it's resolved. The body is not bad now."

As Chi Yao said, he inserted a piece of fruit with a toothpick and handed it to her.

Lin Zhexia was caught off guard by him and had no time to explain: "...I have eaten a lot."

A second after he let go of his hand, while Wei Ping lowered his head and wasn't paying attention, he pressed his fingertips against the corner of her mouth and gently wiped away the fruit stains.

Lin Zhexia felt guilty, feeling that the two of them seemed to be doing something bad now.

Wei Ping was still sitting opposite and nagging: "Tell your mother to rest more and stop working all day."

Chi Yao responded: "It's useless. Before she was discharged from the hospital, she also said that she would put down her work and go out to experience life more. If she doesn't experience it for a few days, she won't be able to relax."

"It's true," Wei Ping thought for a while, "It's not so easy to be idle. If you have nothing to do every day, you might as well find something to do. And now it's not like before. You're getting older. You're studying in Lianyun University. If she can take care of herself, she doesn't have to worry about you."

While Wei Ping was speaking, Chi Yao seemed to be aware of her helplessness, deliberately teasing her, went around behind her hand, and touched her hand at an angle that no one else could see.

Lin Zhexia was so nervous that his hairs stood on end.

"Stay away from me," she moved her position, "don't get so close to me."

Chi Yao whispered, "You are so timid."

Is this a question of courage?

this is…

This is flirting behind the parents' back.

Just as she was trying to find an excuse to leave the living room, Lin He shouted from the kitchen: "Old Wei—the soy sauce is gone, go to the supermarket and buy a bottle."

Lin Zhexia stood up abruptly: "I'll go."

Wei Ping: "You usually don't go if you can. Why are you so active today?"

Lin Zhexia said righteously: "I am a college student now, I have grown up and become more sensible."

"..."

She took her wallet, and just as she walked outside, the door behind her was closed, and then she saw Chi Yao coming out after her: "I'll go with her."

Lin Zhexia didn't say much, but deliberately stood aside while waiting for the elevator.

She was afraid that Wei Ping would suddenly open the door and come out.

But fortunately, the door is tightly closed.

then.

With a sound of "ding—", the elevator reached the floor.

After the two entered the elevator, Chi Yao stood behind her.

He wrapped his hands around her waist, bent down, and "hanged" his whole body on her body.

Although there are only two of them in the elevator.

But Lin Zhexia froze for a moment.

Sensing her nervousness, the person behind said something in her ear: "Let me hug you for a while, there's no one here."

"But…"

"Uncles and aunts will not check the surveillance."

"but…"

"I'll let go later when someone comes in."

"..."

Ok.

She couldn't find any other reason, so she could only let him hold her.

After a while, she reminded again: "But when you are in the community later, remember to keep a certain distance from me."

The person behind him was reluctant.

The boy's chin rested on her shoulder, and when he spoke, his breath spread to her neck. He said with a "tsk", "Your mother regards me as a son?"

Lin Zhexia: "...um."

Chi Yao: "Do you think we are incest?"

Lin Zhexia: "...There is a little, wrong feeling."

"Since you feel that way," Chi Yao admitted frankly, then he raised a hand and pressed it lightly on the top of Lin Zhexia's head, and even said with some expectation, "Then—say something to my brother first." listen?"

"..."

The author has something to say:

Xiao Chi: When will my dream come true?
