23 days before Christmas

The days move forward little by little without any waves, but the calm and calm is just an illusion, and the turbulent undercurrent below will one day jump up.

The secret of life lies in surprise, but you can never guess whether it is a gift or a bomb.

This was an unusual evening, and Lin Zhixi was sitting opposite him. After dinner, he would go to the club to rehearse the program.

Liu Yiming stared at the text message in a daze.

It was an unfamiliar number, but the moment he saw the text, he knew it instantly.

Two, it made him flustered.

"Today is the 64th day I like you."

"There are clouds in the clear sky, and there is snow in winter. I have you in my heart."

In Liu Yiming's eyes, Shen Yinxing has always been a beautiful but ignorant girl who never cared about other people's feelings when speaking, and did not have any artistic cells that hurt the spring and the autumn.After resolutely rejecting her confession last time, I deliberately kept away from her in class and tried to avoid her as much as possible.I was assigned to the same group before, and the relationship with her is not bad, although I often feel that I can't talk to her, and sometimes I am surprised by some of her words and ideas.After the confession, Liu Yiming was very embarrassed. He would not contact him if he could not contact him, and avoided as far as he could.

Didn't expect it to be so long...

Liu Yiming handed the phone to Lin Zhixi and sighed.

"Show me what?" Lin Zhixi looked confused, her expression unwavering, "Do you want me to reject her for you? Didn't you reject her once before? It's not impossible to reject her a second time."

Liu Yiming said in a low voice, "I mainly think..."

He paused, and looked up at Lin Zhixi.

"What do you think? Do you think I'm more experienced in rejecting people?" Lin Zhixi put the chopsticks aside, leaned on the back of the chair and looked at him.

"no......"

"I've said it before, you don't need to tell me this kind of thing. What can I do?" Lin Zhixi's eyes darkened, "Do you want me to go and talk to her? Or do you think it will make me jealous? Then you Showing it to me on purpose? Is this showing off or something?"

A nameless anger rose in Liu Yiming's heart. After thinking about it, he bit his lip and suppressed it: "No...you think too much."

"Then you should quickly reject her again, and then it's getting late, it's time to rehearse."

Liu Yiming quickly organized his words, and replied to Shen Yinxing as tactfully as possible. He was still worried, but he didn't want to show it in front of Lin Zhixi, so he forced himself to pretend that nothing happened, and went to the club rehearsal with him.

Between rehearsals, Liu Yiming kept a distance from Chen Yuntian as much as possible, and didn't talk much with other students. With his mobile phone in his pocket, he just stood quietly, neither saying nor doing anything.At most, chat with senior sister about the program.

Occasionally met Lin Zhixi's eyes, and then quickly avoided them.

Liu Yiming was suffering in his heart.

He felt that he couldn't understand Lin Zhixi more and more. He often couldn't figure out what made him unhappy, and even his eccentricities became more and more frequent, but he didn't know why.

Why......

It was almost ten o'clock when the rehearsal ended.

Liu Yiming really felt very uncomfortable, and just wanted to have a good talk with Lin Zhixi.

The problems that he once thought would not be possible are now bundled together like time bombs one by one, about to explode.

At the end, Lin Zhixi glanced at Liu Yiming, and Liu Yiming gave him a look back.They tacitly knew it, and they were familiar with avoiding the crowd after the rehearsal and taking a detour back to the dormitory together.

"Lin Zhixi." Liu Yiming heard his voice being suppressed in the cold wind, "I think, I, is there something wrong between the two of us? Your recent state is a bit strange."

"The problem between the two of us has never been resolved." Lin Zhixi's lips curled up slightly, and Liu Yiming's heart became colder when he saw the smile, "You know what I want. But , why do I feel that you just don’t want to give it to me.”

Liu Yiming turned his head to look at Lin Zhixi, he didn't expect such an answer.

"Although recently I have clearly felt that you care about me a lot." Lin Zhixi thought for a while and said, "But I always feel that there is something missing in my heart."

"What do you mean?"

"It's just the feeling... well, it's not the same feeling as before..."

Liu Yiming quickly said: "This is normal. After the passionate love period, there will definitely be a bottleneck period. Let's just get through it."

"But I was thinking before, is our love period too short, is this bottleneck period too long? Is it because you are too busy? Wasted a lot of time?" Lin Zhixi sighed, "I recently It's not as easy to be sad as before. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

"I, I..." Liu Yiming became more and more panicked, inexplicably panicked, "I don't know."

Lin Zhixi shook her head gently: "I really don't know how to get through it."

"We're getting through it."

"Really?" Lin Zhixi sneered, "Do you believe this sentence?"

"You agreed that you would wait for me." Liu Yiming lowered his head and lowered his voice accordingly.

Lin Zhixi smiled helplessly: "Although I clearly feel that you are catching up...but, but, I..."

"what?"

"It's an indescribable feeling." Lin Zhixi frowned, "I suddenly thought a few days ago that maybe I really need a little distance between us. Maybe, let's..."

He stopped here.

Liu Yiming looked at him, the light in his eyes flickered.

Lin Zhixi spit out slowly: "How about we give it a try and separate for a week?"

Why separate?

Separate Nima, crazy!

The above is Liu Yiming's first reaction when he heard this sentence.

"No." Liu Yiming's voice was very soft, and he wondered if Lin Zhixi heard it.

"What?" He didn't hear it.

"No." Liu Yiming repeated.

"These two days?"

Is there a bargain for this kind of thing?

"Why?" Liu Yiming looked up at him, his voice trembling, a little incoherent, "Do you think our relationship has reached this point? I don't think there is any unresolved conflict between us. Why, what's the problem? , Let’s overcome it together. You think that the problems between us have never been resolved, that’s because you make me unclear. Can you open up completely, I don’t even know what you think... ..."

Lin Zhixi was startled, with gloomy eyes, and said for a long time, "Do you want to get to know me?"

"Of course." Liu Yiming bit his lip, "But you didn't say anything."

"So you now think it's all my fault?"

"That was not what I meant."

"You want to open up? How to say?" Lin Zhixi's eyes flashed a sharp light, "I think we both need to calm down and give each other some space to think about what our problems are. And It’s not like it is now. Every time we talk about it, I think the problem is solved, but in fact it’s just escaping. That hurdle has been kept in my heart, but I selectively ignore it. What’s the use of this? Are you tired after arguing so many times? ? I'm pretty tired anyway."

Liu Yiming shivered uncontrollably, and he didn't know whether he was emotional or shivering from the cold. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he snorted coldly and walked forward quickly, leaving Lin Zhixi behind him in the endless cold night.

He didn't look back, not daring to see Lin Zhixi's expression.

At this moment, his mind was in a mess, the cold wind whizzed by, and his teeth couldn't stop colliding with each other.

Every time he faced Lin Zhixi, he would feel very powerless.

I don't know what to do to change the situation.

So he ran away—Lin Zhixi didn't want to run away anymore, and pulled him back severely.

He was in a state of embarrassment, as if everything had been torn apart and naked in front of the whole world.

Back in the bedroom, I took a hot bath and felt a little more comfortable.My brain remains blank, I don't think about anything, I dare not think about anything.

He lay on the bed and covered himself with the quilt, and checked his phone, but Lin Zhixi didn't send a message.

He tried to close his eyes and sleep, reassuring himself that everything would be fine tomorrow morning, but he tossed and turned until 12:30 without falling asleep.

He felt himself calm down.

He turned on the phone and clicked on Lin Zhixi's chat box, suddenly thousands of emotions came to his heart, and tears couldn't stop flowing.He quickly covered his face under the quilt, and the light of the mobile phone reflected on his face. He felt that he must be ugly at the moment.

He started to be like a repentant drunk, rambling on about some things - he sent Lin Zhixi messages, more than a dozen messages in a row.

Just to make myself feel better.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what to do today. Maybe we both really need to calm down."

"have you slept?"

"Oh, I know you're sad, and I'm not feeling well either."

"Lin Zhixi, do you know? I have never liked someone so much in the past 18 years. I hope you are the first and the last."

"I've really thought about how to go on with you. We will have a future, and we will."

"In the beginning, I just wanted to grasp the present moment. Take one step at a time, but you gave me the courage to give me confidence and hope for our future."

"I'm really lucky to have met you."

"This is the first time I've been in a relationship and I don't know how to handle an intimate relationship."

"Actually, every quarrel is not a bad thing. After serious reflection, I understand how to talk about this relationship correctly."

"You said you would wait for me, I think it's almost here..."

"We will always be together, we will have a future."

"You have to have faith in both of us, I love you."

"I don't know why, but I think I love you more and more."

"Don't quarrel with me, okay? Let's get through this bottleneck period together and go on together."

Liu Yiming yawned. Even though his mind was in chaos, he typed out everything that came to mind and sent it to Lin Zhixi.

Suddenly, I felt much better.

He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
