Chasing Summer

Lin Zhexia managed to get up early the next day with amazing perseverance, and stepped on the class bell to enter the classroom.

As a result, the teacher of the professional class was late that day, and the other students in the class were discussing whether the little yellow car unfortunately blew out on the way.

She was sitting in the lecture theater, waiting for the teacher to enter the class, while sending a message to Chi Yao.

- can you believe it

- i'm not late

- I, Young Master Lin, am so powerful

- The way I stepped into the class just now, I must be very handsome.

Chi Yao's focus is not on this.

Boyfriend: Did you have breakfast?

Lin Zhexia typed: When I left, I took a bag of bread from your refrigerator.

This time Chi Yao came back with only one word: Be good.

Lin Zhexia automatically imagined Chi Yao's face, and his voice had a strange attraction just because the word was incompatible with him.

She responded with an emoji, then put away her phone and listened carefully to the class.

After class, she walked out with a large number of people who were leaving get out of class, and she saw people waiting at the stairs ahead of time.

Chi Yao was leaning against the wall, looking down at his phone. The weather has warmed up a little recently, but as if he is not afraid of the cold, he still wears less clothes than others. He only wears a black coat and a pair of thin jeans, which make him tall and thin.

Seeing him last night, and seeing him during the day, Lin Zhexia felt even more ashamed.

"Why are you here?" She walked up to him holding the book.

Chi Yao put away his phone and raised his eyes: "Looking for you for dinner."

When Lin Zhexia left, he only took a bag of bread slices, and he had two big classes in the morning, so he was really hungry now.

She secretly rubbed her stomach that had screamed twice in class, and felt that Chi Yao was like a roundworm in her stomach.

Chi Yao reached out to her: "Give me the book."

Lin Zhexia was about to say "I'll take it myself", but Chi Yao had already raised her hand and took the book away from her hand.

While pulling it away, a lollipop was stuffed into her free hand unexpectedly.

Very familiar light yellow packaging, lemon flavor, as before.

"I'm afraid you have hypoglycemia." Chi Yao said casually.

Lin Zhexia peeled off the icing: "I'm not so weak."

"It's not usually possible." Chi Yao carried the stack of books and walked towards the exit of the stairs, "...someone 'exercised' until midnight last night, so it's hard to say."

"..."

Lin Zhexia almost crushed the candy he had just stuffed into his mouth.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, she was responsible for finding a seat, and Chi Yao went to cook.

Eating with this person is very worry-free. You don't have to choose what to eat every day. Anyway, he knows what she eats and what she doesn't eat. He knows better than her.

Lin Zhexia gnawed on the candy, and met Lan Xiaoxue and the others who came to eat in a group on the way: "Have you reconciled with your brother?"

Lin Zhexia nodded: "It's reconciled, but it's not a quarrel."

Lan Xiaoxue pulled Qin Lei to find a place: "That's good, we'll go upstairs first."

After she and Chi Yao had finished eating, she remembered that neither of them had class in the afternoon.

Lin Zhexia asked him: "Are you going back to the apartment?"

Chi Yao: "No reply."

"Then...to the classroom?"

"No."

"Then what are you going to do this afternoon?"

"I plan to take my girlfriend out on a date."

Lin Zhexia shook his hand: "Where to go on a date, have you found a good place yet?"

Chi Yao didn't say much, just said: "You'll know when you go."

On the way there, the topic between the two changed from the puppy on the side of the road to "secret love".

Chi Yao belatedly began to fall in love with himself.

He took her by the hand and said casually: "It was normal for you to like me back then, which means that although you had some problems in many places when you were growing up, at least your vision is fine."

Lin Zhexia: "..."

Facing Chi Yao's sudden attack, she was not to be outdone: "You liked me earlier, I just wanted to flatten your head when I was in junior high school, and you have already started to train your abs for me."

Chi Yao glanced at her, and paused in tone: "Think about it carefully, those few conditions for choosing a spouse in your junior high school—it seems to be deliberately reversed according to my conditions."

"..."

I was jealous of this before.

Now the whole person is overconfident.

"I didn't take you as the standard," she explained sullenly, "I just said it the other way around on purpose."

Chi Yao said "oh", "Are you sure?"

"decide what."

"I'm sure you weren't attracted to me unconsciously when you were in junior high school."

"..."

She figured it out.

He just wanted her to be the one who fell in love with each other first.

Lin Zhexia will not easily give up the favorable position: "No, don't think too much, anyway, I was the one you liked first."

Chi Yao seemed a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his thinking and asked her, "Then tell me more specifically, why do you like me?"

She doesn't want to talk to this person anymore.

So annoying.

Trouble is trouble, she thought about it, did she really show him anything.

So Lin Zhexia walked halfway, and suddenly stopped by the side of the road.

She lowered her head and turned up her phone, clicked on Moments, scrolled down for a long time, and found the photo she secretly took under the stage when she was in high school.

"Give."

Chi Yao took it slowly, and found that it was a circle of friends "only visible to me", and the person in the photo was him. That day he rarely agreed to perform on stage, and sat in the center of the stage with a guitar. The photo was actually very blurry, because the light above his head was too glaring, half of his face was blurred when it hit him.

In addition to the lighting, there is also the cautious mood of the photographer.

"It's a bit blurry," Lin Zhexia explained, "That's because I was too nervous to take pictures. Although everyone is taking pictures of you, no one will notice me."

But she still didn't dare.

When doing something "unscrupulous" secretly, I always feel that people all over the world are staring at me.

She didn't dare to take pictures of him openly at all, so she could only muster up the courage to take out her phone and press the shutter indiscriminately.

Chi Yao didn't speak, but glanced at the caption on the photo.

The accompanying text of this circle of friends is: Midsummer Night's Wind.

It's the lyrics from the song he picked.

At that time, he had received a response to his self-confessed confession.

Lin Zhexia leaned over, reached out and manipulated the phone screen a few times, and showed him another photo. That photo of the three of them holding Valentine's movie ticket stubs.

Although she had confessed to Chi Yao last night.

But it was a bit embarrassing to really show him these things that only she knew.

Chi Yao broke her embarrassment with one sentence: "Why didn't you cut off He Yang's hand."

"..."

Lin Zhexia's private feeling of confessing the secret disappeared immediately.

Rationally, she should have said, "How can you treat him like this? He Yang is also their good friend, and it is thanks to him that they can watch movies together on Valentine's Day."

But emotionally, she thought about Chi Yao's words, and then nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

"Should have cut him off then."

…

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the meeting place.

The place Chi Yao took her to was a commercial street. Although she has never been here, she also knows that this place is very lively. Lan Xiaoxue and Qin Lei have visited before.

However, the commercial street has a wide range of businesses and a wide variety of shops, so she couldn't guess what Chi Yao would take her to do for a while.

The winter is over, and the trees on the road no longer look as depressed as they did during the Chinese New Year.

The style of Lianyun's entire city is quite similar, and this street is very similar to many places she visited in Cheng'an District.

There are bluestone tiles. have water. There are bridges.

The willow trees by the bridge are gradually sprouting new branches, and there is a lot of noise around people coming and going.

She followed Chi Yao into the depths of the commercial street, then pushed open the door of a certain store and walked in.

Before she walked in, she didn't notice the name of the store. After entering, she saw many photos hanging on the wall, and these photos formed a full photo wall. Most of the photos are a group of two people, and they are intimate and close together when taking pictures.

Even though she didn't know the name of the store, five familiar words appeared in Lin Zhexia's mind, and these five words were dug out from memory.

She hesitated and asked: "...a couple photo studio?"

When Lin Zhexia asked, the boss at the front desk introduced with a smile: "Yes, we are a self-service photo studio for couples. After scanning the QR code and paying the fee, you can go into the small room and adjust the machine in front of the camera to take good-looking photos. Couple photos."

Chi Yao scanned the QR code to pay, and then the two of them went in to take pictures.

It is said to be self-service, but it is actually similar to the "big sticker" machine on the roadside that can be operated by oneself.

The room is small, separated by glass doors and curtains.

There were two round stools inside. Lin Zhexia sat on them and fiddled with the screen of the machine curiously: "Why did you think of bringing me to take pictures?"

On the screen of the machine, there are stickers that can be selected. As long as the faces of two people appear together in the viewfinder, the stickers will automatically track the faces of the people.

Standing beside her, Chi Yao raised his hand and clicked on the screen, randomly selecting a rabbit ear.

next second.

The bunny ears appeared on her head.

Lin Zhexia deliberately swayed left and right in front of the camera, and the rabbit ears swayed with her.

"Because when we were filming before," Chi Yao lowered his hand and said, "...were not a couple yet."

The last time they took a "couple photo", it was a misnomer.

After careful calculation, after being together, I have never really taken a photo of a couple in the true sense.

Lin Zhexia put away her playful thoughts, and sat upright before the filming officially started: "Then...you sit down too, and I will get closer to you."

and then.

She doesn't know anymore.

After all, I have never had any experience before.

She has a problem with this person, that is, the more serious she is, the more dull she looks. For example, now, she really wanted to take a better couple photo with Chi Yao, but her eyes couldn't help but start to glaze over.

Chi Yao was more comfortable than her, he was a little taller than her after he sat down, and the two of them were taller and lower in the viewfinder frame.

Then he said, "What are you nervous about?"

Lin Zhexia said bluntly: "I'm not nervous, I just took a photo. There's nothing to be nervous about. I just don't take pictures very often... I'm just not used to it."

Chi Yao adjusted the machine for a while, and Lin Zhexia was sitting on pins and needles. When she was almost sluggish to the limit, Chi Yao reminded her—

"Look at the camera."

Lin Zhexia tried her best to gather the slack eyes. Before Chi Yao pressed the shutter, she felt that according to her performance, today's photo might have to be retaken.

But the moment he pressed it.

Chi Yao turned his head and kissed her on the cheek impartially.

Lin Zhexia's eyes widened slightly.

All restraint and uneasiness were broken by his sudden action. At the moment of being kissed, she forgot about the camera, and forgot that the two of them were taking pictures now.

"Click".

The captured scene is displayed on the screen of the machine.

The screen freezes.

The two took a few more photos afterwards. In the other photos, she stretched out her hand to pull Chi Yao's face not to be outdone, and in the other, Chi Yao pressed her backhand on top of her head, trying to hold her down. Like playing around as a child.

After taking the photo, Lin Zhexia took the printed photo and asked him: "Shall we post a circle of friends together?"

Perhaps it was because on the way here, she showed Chi Yao the two content that only she could see at the beginning.

So she really wanted to post a circle of friends with him.

But from what Lan Xiaoxue and the others said, boys don't seem to be very keen on posting this.

She was about to say "if you don't want to forget it", Chi Yao said, "don't ask me next time."

Lin Zhexia did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Girlfriend," he tore off the black coat hanging by the side when he got up, and looked down at her from top to bottom, still wanton and indifferent, but because the person facing her was her, Say the humblest words, "You have the right to order me."
