When I saw you again, my heart felt like the lack of oxygen in the blood. ---summer green

NO.7 in the fourth year

Xia Lu feels that the most comfortable place in the world is home, and she hasn't been back for several months, yet she misses every plant and tree at home so much, and the tables and benches are all within Xia Lu's missing range.Mom and Dad cooked a table of delicious food for Xia Lu. It was rare for the family to eat together so happily. Compared to before, Xia Lu felt more at home.

After dinner, Xia Lu lay on the small bed she had been away for several months, looked at the moonlight through the window, and fell into her own thoughts.I arrived home in the afternoon, and I didn't tell anyone that I was coming back today, not even Xiao Zi. My parents didn't know that Xia Lu was back until they saw their daughter entering the door.

Xiao Zi had already returned from vacation, and Liu Yao was also at home, and it was in the neighborhood not far away. Xia Lu remembered the hug Liu Yao gave her at the train station, and Liu Yao's words.Liu Yao, why are we all so persistent?Xia Lu didn't know how many times she thought of this, and her heart ached.That night, Xia Lv slept very well, and that kind of inexplicable peace of mind has never been felt before, this is the feeling of home.

It was almost nine o'clock when Xia Lu woke up. After a long drive, she was too tired and had fallen asleep. Her mother didn't wake her up. She just prepared breakfast and put it in a pot to heat it up.Xia Lu ate breakfast quietly, thinking whether she should call Xiao Zi and tell her that she was back.But the more he wanted to see that person, the more timid he became. For a while, he didn't know how to face Xiao Zi, and what to say when he met him?

It's the end of the year, my father's work is a bit busy, and my mother has to open a store, Xia Lu thought for a long time, she rarely goes to her mother's bookstore, and finally came back, so let's go to the bookstore with her mother.Mom was a little surprised that Xia Lu would accompany her to the bookstore, but then she thought about it again, it was the first time Xia Lu had been away from home for so long, although she didn't say anything, she still missed her parents very much in her heart. understandable.

The mother and daughter rode a little donkey to the bookstore. Xia Lu helped her mother clean up, and sat quietly in the corner with a book. Xia Lu opened it and saw that it was a complete recipe book. It seems that I really don't know how to cook. When my parents are not at home, most of the time I eat instant noodles, bread, biscuits and other snacks.Thinking of this, Xia Lu picked up the recipe and looked at it, wondering if he could learn a recipe or two and try it at home.

Xia Lu chose two simple vegetarian dishes, and memorized the steps and ingredients. Halfway through the memorization, she looked at the two dishes on the menu, fish-flavored eggplant, olive and celery, and slowly lost her mind, because these two dishes are both Xiao Zi likes to eat.The corner of Xia Lu's mouth twitched into a wry smile. It turned out that Xiao Zi was the most important thing in her mind.

Xia Lu has never doubted why she likes a girl, what she told herself is that because that person is Xiao Zi, and it happens that Xiao Zi is a girl, so what she likes is a girl, if Xiao Zi is a boy, then what she likes is boy. When I was 15 years old, maybe I was vague about love. I only knew that my feelings for Xiao Zi were very shameful. In the days that followed, I tried my best to suppress the crazy emotions, but in the end it was still a hopeless love. After falling in love with Xiao Zi, she gradually seemed to understand love, liking and love, but she couldn't open her mouth after all.

"Sister, is your college fun? Are there any handsome guys?" A girl's voice came into Xia Lu's ears. Xia Lu turned her head and saw a girl who was slightly younger than herself smiling at the person opposite her. The bookcase blocked her. Xia Lu couldn't see the person opposite the girl, and the other party didn't speak. Xia Lu thought they were here to help the little girl buy a tutorial book, because the place where they were standing was the tutoring materials for junior high school students. Xia Lu turned back and continued. Looking at the recipes, I wondered whether I could make these two dishes well.

"University is of course fun. There are many handsome guys, so you have to study hard, and then you can be admitted to university like your sister." The person opposite the girl patted the girl's head with a book, and Xia Lu heard his voice At that moment, a recipe in his hand fell on the table, and the familiar voice was...Xiao Zi.

Xia Lu suddenly wanted to escape, she didn't know why, she missed that person so much, she was still researching the dishes that person liked to eat just now, but the next moment when the person was standing behind her, she didn't have the courage to turn around and say hello .

The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer, Xia Lu knew that they were approaching her, Xia Lu's body stiffened, her fingers trembled slightly, should she turn around?Do you want?

Xiao Zi accompanied her cousin to buy tutoring books. The cousin was already in the third year of junior high school. After the new year, she was about to take the senior high school entrance examination. The aunt asked her to make up lessons for her cousin. It may be useful to buy a few tutorial books, so I passed by this bookstore and came in to have a look.

Xiao Zi put down the book in her hand, looked up and saw a girl with long hair sitting there on the seat in front of her, her back was somewhat familiar, after thinking about it, she thought it was unlikely that it was someone she knew, so she didn't care, and continued to read Looking at those various counseling materials.

"Xia Lu, help mom move that stack of books, and mom puts it on the shelf." Xia Lu's mother stood on the ladder and called to Xia Lu.Xia Lu's stiff body twitched because her mother called her name, Xiao Zi stopped and looked at the figure that didn't move, did she have auditory hallucinations?How did you hear someone calling Xia Lu?

Xia Lu stood up slowly, turned around, and saw the face that she had missed for several months. Xiao Zi was wrapped in a beige down jacket, wearing a ball cap, with long hair around her neck, and familiar eyebrows and eyes. It seems more beautiful.Xia Lu evoked a faint smile, didn't say anything, turned around and walked to the place where her mother asked her to take the book, picked it up, and handed it to her mother.

Xiao Zi stared blankly at the moving person, feeling that it wasn't real, it was only a few months, why would there be such a strange feeling.

When Xia Lu stood in front of Xiao Zi again, Xiao Zi still stared blankly at the person in front of her. It was really Xia Lu, those beautiful almond eyes were still round and bright, and there was a faint smile on her vermilion lips. , her hair has grown long, and she seems to have grown taller again, because when I look at her, I have to raise my head slightly, and even if my thin body is wrapped in a heavy down jacket, she still looks fragile.

"Xiao Zi, long time no see." Xia Lu's red lips parted slightly, and she spit out a few words.Xiao Zi blinked, because the eye sockets were a little hot, and the eyeballs and nose were a little sore. Xiao Zi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't say anything. "Sister, is that your classmate?" The cousin next to her gently pushed Xiao Zi, Xiao Zi glanced at her cousin, and then at the smiling Xia Lu in front of her, everything was true, Xia Lu was standing by her side In front of you, like a stranger.

"Yes, my sister's classmate." Xiao Zi felt her voice was hoarse, took a deep breath, and raised her smile, "Xia Lu, when did you come back?" Excitedly shouted, then scolded myself for being heartless, and finally there would be a big hug, but Xiao Zi looked at herself like a stranger, Xia Lu felt heartbroken, she hadn't seen her for a few months, and she would I often call on the phone, why is it such a scene to see each other?

"Yesterday afternoon, I came back relatively late, so I didn't call you. I came to the store to help today, but I didn't expect to meet you here." Xia Lu's tone was light, but her heart was as uncomfortable as if it had lost the oxygen in the blood. , Xiao Zi nodded, indicating that he knew, and the next two people were relatively silent.

Xiao Zi's cousin looked at the two strange people, thinking that Xia Lu and her sister were not that familiar, and she dared not speak, so she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment at Xia Lu. Zi's ​​cousin said, "Go ahead and buy this book. I have taught tutors before, and my students use this publishing house. It's not bad." Xiao Zi's cousin looked at Xiao Zi, and found that Xiao Zi didn't have much expression , so he reached out to take the tutorial book from Xia Lu.Xiao Zi looked at the tutoring book that was handed over, and felt a little pain in her heart. It turned out that she had a tutor, but she never mentioned it to herself, Xia Lu, why did you alienate me so much?Aren't we best friends?Why did they become like this after only being separated for a few months?

When Xiao Zi left the bookstore, her footsteps were a little flimsy. Xia Lu didn't take the money, saying it was for her cousin, hoping that she would study hard, but he didn't even say thank you to her. Once in front of Xia Lu, Xiao Zi felt so unbearable, Xiao Zi wanted to cry.During the few months of separation, I missed Xia Lu so much, but why did we meet in such a situation? She was afraid, she panicked, she didn't want to be unfamiliar with Xia Lu, she wanted to give Xia Lu a big hug , I want to tell her that in the days without her, I miss her very much and miss the days when we were together, but I can't say anything.

Xia Lu looked at the two people who left, the corners of her eyes were moist, Xiao Zi, why?Why are you so cold to me, what should I do?

Mother finished finishing the books on the bookshelf, and watched Xia Lu sitting by the cash register in a daze, "What's the matter? I heard you talking to someone just now, did you meet a classmate?" Xia Lu nodded, "Well, a classmate from high school." "What's the matter?" I didn't chat much, I left so soon." Mom lowered her head and sorted the books on the table, not noticing Xia Lu's red eyes. "I guess she has something to do. I'll contact you when I have a chance." Xia Lu also lowered her head and picked up the books on the table, stacking them one by one.

Xiao Zi walked about 100 meters, turned around and said to her cousin, "You go home first, my sister has something to do, and I will give you extra lessons tomorrow." After Xiao Zi finished speaking, she ran back, leaving her cousin wondering in the cold wind .

When Xiao Zi pushed open the door of the bookstore again, Xia Lu was lowering her head to sort out the books. When she heard the movement and looked up to see Xiao Zi who was panting heavily at the door, her heart beat a little faster.

Xiao Zi walked to the cashier step by step, "Auntie, hello, I'm Xia Lu's classmate." Xiao Zi raised a good-looking smile, and nodded slightly to Xia Lu's mother, "Hello." Xia Lu's mother responded immediately, Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, You glanced lightly at the daughter next to her.

"Auntie, can I take Xia Lu out for a while? I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to chat with her." Xiao Zi's voice was soft and soft, tapping on Xia Lu's eardrums. I don't know what's going on. "Ah, yes, Xia Lu just came back yesterday, and I haven't seen you for a long time, you go." Xia Lu's mother gently pushed Xia Lu out of the counter, and Xiao Zi smiled brightly at Xia Lu's mother.Xiao Zi reached out and grabbed Xia Lu, holding it tightly, then pushed open the door of the bookstore and ran.

The cold wind blew the running man's hair, raising it in a beautiful arc, Xia Lu was dragged by Xiao Zi for a long time.
