23 days before Christmas

Although Liu Yiming is often unresponsive and his emotional intelligence is not too high, the last thing he does is to read his words and his emotions - but Lin Zhixi's expressions and tone, even a fool can feel that he is not happy.As for why he was unhappy, student Liu Yiming scratched his head and couldn't figure out why.

The century-old problem that plagued them was "what to eat tonight?" Liu Yiming volunteered to be the answerer today—in fact, he just found a random shop, and dragged Lin Zhixi into it if it didn't look dirty or low.

Lin Zhixi seemed to be a little bit more emotional, with a faint smile on her face.Liu Yiming actually sensed it again, and a flower blossomed in his heart.

Enter the store and order, and after you sit down, you look at me and I look at you, but you don't speak.

Fortunately, the dishes came out quickly—"I ordered all the dishes today." Liu Yiming was extremely proud.

"From now on, it's best for you to order." Lin Zhixi rolled his eyes—he actually rolled his eyes at me!

Liu Yiming smiled brightly: "I'll try my best. Why do you say that the two difficult choices come together hahaha..."

"I don't care, you will make the decision in the future."

Liu Yiming smiled very obediently, and nodded repeatedly: "Yeah."

"We will be separated later." Lin Zhixi poked the dish with her chopsticks and sighed softly.

"Actually, it's only seven days. We'll meet soon." Liu Yiming tried his best to maintain a smile, "What are you afraid of going to a different place now? It's so easy to make phone calls, QQ, WeChat and videos, to hear voices and to meet."

Lin Zhixi drooped her eyebrows, and was silent for half a minute before uttering a word: "Oh."

Liu Yiming's mobile phone suddenly sounded a message reminder, he quickly clicked on it, and ate his food while replying.

"Who?"

"My mother, ask me if I got in the car."

Lin Zhixi paused, and said, "Why did you hold your phone up to me and not let me see it?"

"Ah?" Liu Yiming handed the phone down to Lin Zhixi, "Look, my mother."

"Oh." Lin Zhixi took a look, then lowered her head and continued poking at the dish.

Liu Yiming went back to his mother, clicked into Weibo, and then swiped out a new Weibo and kept scrolling down—this is a regular item for Internet surfers when they eat, but they used to always put their mobile phones away when they were together with Lin Zhixi. On the one hand, as soon as I hold it in my hand, I can't help it.

Lin Zhixi endured it for 5 minutes and felt that she couldn't take it anymore, so she asked in a low voice, "Haven't you finished?"

Liu Yiming quickly handed over the phone—it was a sand sculpture video of a cat he had just seen on Weibo.

"Look at this hahahahahahahaha..." Liu Yiming couldn't stop laughing, but he didn't notice that the expression on Lin Zhixi's face was getting uglier and uglier.

"I don't want to watch." Lin Zhixi put down her chopsticks, her voice was a little cold, "It's seven o'clock."

"Ah?" Liu Yiming realized that something was wrong.

"I'm full, it's time to go home." Lin Zhixi picked up her bag, "Be careful on the road."

"Lin..." Liu Yiming's heart sank suddenly, "Lin Zhixi!"

He is unhappy?

He put his bag on his back, dragged the suitcase, and left without looking back, completely ignoring Liu Yiming.

Liu Yiming suddenly panicked. Seeing Lin Zhixi's back gradually disappearing into the night, he felt more and more...he seemed to be angry.

He was really angry.

"Send me a message when you get home." Liu Yiming quickly sent a message.

5 minutes passed, no reply... It used to be less than 5 minutes...

Half an hour passed and still no reply.Liu Yiming became more and more panicked, and sent another message: "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Zhixi still didn't reply until Liu Yiming got in the car.

Liu Yiming stared at the head portrait in a daze - this was the first time he had seen Lin Zhixi like this since he had known him for so long.Just because he played with a mobile phone, he was unhappy?No way, he doesn't seem to be such a stingy person.

Wait, does that count as stingy?

In fact, when I think about it carefully, it is indeed my fault - what kind of mobile phone do I play with while eating!What kind of mobile phone does the boyfriend play with by his side!You have to separate from your boyfriend and still play with your phone!

"I'm sorry." Liu Yiming sighed, clicked on the dialog box, and pressed the "send button".

The air in the car was not very good, Liu Yiming felt more and more panicked, and his chest was tight, but he could only bear it.

Liu Yiming closed his eyes, wanting to sleep for a while.I didn't sleep well last night, and I haven't been in the state all day today, and there are still several hours of driving. Sleeping is probably the best choice.

Get some sleep then.

Maybe when I wake up later, Lin Zhixi will reply.

When I close my eyes, the figure of Lin Zhixi emerges in my mind, the smile on his lips, his affectionate eyebrows, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, his slender and delicate fingers...the two spent together Every minute and every second is like a raging ocean wave.And his voice, lingering in my ears all the time - full of joy, pretending to be angry, low-pitched, gentle as water, and even coquettish...

Liu Yiming sighed, he couldn't sleep no matter what, his heart was in a panic.

Pressing the phone, Lin Zhixi still didn't reply, but - a female classmate sent a message: "Go home?"

Liu Yiming stared at the name "Shen Yinxing", which was the girl the monitor pointed out to him on the first day of school.Compared to those female classmates who couldn't remember their names, faces, or words, Liu Yiming and her were actually quite familiar.

Speaking of which, Liu Yiming is a person who doesn't like to cuddle together to join in the fun, and those who can't get along with each other are just considered as ordinary friends who just nod and say hello.As for Shen Yinxing, besides the interesting name, Liu Yiming simply thinks that she is the prettiest girl in their class, and she also has a lot of contacts and contacts.Although, but, from the first time Liu Yiming came into contact with her, he felt that this girl's beauty was traded for her IQ?The kind who talk and act without thinking...

All in all, Liu Yiming only wanted to be an ordinary friend with her—not even an ordinary friend very much, and the communication with this female classmate would never be on the same frequency.

But this girl doesn’t seem to want to be just ordinary friends with him—she’s expressed that intention several times, and even invited him to drink milk tea (before establishing a relationship with Lin Zhixi! Shen Ginkgo invited several people to drink !).

"Still in the car." Liu Yiming felt restless, so he just put it off.

Shen Yinxing came back in seconds: "I won't go home until tomorrow."

It's really perfunctory——Liu Yiming suddenly felt that it would be impolite to answer only such a word, but now he doesn't know what to answer...

"I went out to dinner with friends and drank some wine."

What does this sentence mean?Liu Yiming glanced at the time. It was not yet nine o'clock. After thinking for a while, he typed the next line: "Go back early and be careful."

"Uh-huh."

After 5 minutes, Shen Yinxing said again: "Do you have a date?"

With such a sudden sentence, Liu Yiming was stunned, his heart beat faster, and his mind was still full of Lin Zhixi's face.

I have a partner.

I'm not single!

My partner is the cutest boy in the world!

However, he couldn't reply her like this.

Liu Yiming hasn't talked with Lin Zhixi about this topic yet, anyway, he definitely won't tell others at this stage.Liu Yiming has always been quite timid, not to mention that this is not a trivial matter.

He thought for 3 minutes, and replied: "I don't really want to fall in love yet."

Added another sentence: "At this stage, study hard should be the first priority."

"Hmm, that makes sense."

"Then when are you ready to fall in love?"

"What do you think about me?"

Liu Yiming felt dizzy when three hits hit him in a row—what the hell!Is this a confession?God, what virtue can I do, besides, you and I don't even have a common topic.Besides, I have a partner!He is the cutest boy in the world!

Liu Yiming thought for a while, wondering what she was looking for in him?He is very self-aware and feels that he is not a good boy.He is average in height, good-looking, and has a wide range of hobbies, but his personality is not good at all—even in high school, he was like a bomb that might explode at any time; With some pretentious meaning... Fortunately, he is willing to reflect on himself. For a long time, he felt that he was really very bad.

Liu Yiming closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his eyes after an unknown amount of time, and replied, "You are a very good girl."

"But I don't think we are suitable."

"I value feelings and fate. We don't get along very well, and we don't get along very well."

"Excuse me."

"You will definitely meet the boy who belongs to you."

Liu Yiming closed his eyes again, his eye muscles strained, tears were almost forced out.

"When it comes to falling in love, it always takes a little bit of adjustment. There will be no couples who are perfectly compatible once they come, they all come slowly."

No, Liu Yiming shook his head lightly—Lin Zhixi and I just met each other not long ago, and we felt that we were very suitable for each other.The "take your time" that was said before was completely smashed when the love was strong.I really fell in love with it, nothing can stop me, I can't stop it.

Liu Yiming replied to her: "That's why we can't be together. We have different ways of thinking."

I can't just tell her that I like men, right? Liu Yiming snorted coldly, clicked on Lin Zhixi's space, and flipped through one by one, looking at everything in his life before meeting him.

Lin Zhixi, why don't you call me back, I miss you so much.

Shen Yinxing didn't know how long it took before she replied: "Well, I'm sorry to bother you. I don't know when I started to like you. Things like feelings are very mysterious. I drank wine tonight , I thought I was braver and stronger, so I came here to tell you rashly. I'm so sorry."

Liu Yiming sighed, instead of replying, he swiped over, clicked on Lin Zhixi's dialogue box, and stared at the blank space in a daze.

He still didn't answer him.
