I Want to be Alone, Beautifully

Xu Jiao thought that she would not be able to fall asleep, after all, there was a big ice cube attached to her, and she always felt that she was the only one in the bed, and she might wake up from the cold after falling asleep.

But I don't know if it's because of what she ate before, but she didn't sleep as cold as she imagined, and she even fell asleep without knowing it. He took a posture of hugging her, and moved a few times uncomfortably. When he opened his eyes again, the sun was already shining outside the window.

Today is the weekend.

Seeing the sunlight outside the window, Xu Jiao's first reaction was that it was at least [-]:[-] in the morning, why didn't her alarm clock go off?

The original owner likes to go to the library for self-study on weekends, either to do the homework left by the teacher in class, or to do some exam questions by himself. He usually wakes up at seven o'clock, and rarely sleeps until this time At the point of time.

After she woke up, she lifted the quilt and sat up in confusion. Qian Ai, who was on the opposite side, went up to the upper bunk and patted powder on her face in front of the mirror. She noticed her movements from the corner of her eye, and said to her with a smile:

"Xiao Xu, why are you lazier than before?"

"I actually saw that you got up later than me on weekends."

Xu Jiao smiled at her lightly, without explaining anything for herself, but took out her mobile phone, looked at the alarm clock on it, and found that she had indeed set an alarm clock that would ring at seven o'clock on the weekend. There are several missed calls, all displaying "home".

It was her father Xu Dashu who called.

But she didn't hear it.

The guy who slept with her last night has disappeared. Xu Jiao checked her mobile phone and said to Qian Ai, "Did you hear my alarm clock and phone ringing this morning?"

Qian Ai shook his head: "No, I'm still wondering. I wanted to sleep in on weekends, but I was always woken up by your deadly alarm, but today I slept until dawn. What's wrong?"

Xu Jiao checked the phone settings, and said to her: "Can you call me? My phone seems to be broken. There is something wrong with the ringtone or the speaker."

Qian Ai nodded, and naturally agreed, touched the latest iPhone next to her, and called her.

Xu Jiao watched helplessly as her phone was ringing, only the screen was on, and there was no other movement at all. She smoothed her hair just after waking up, thanked Qian Ai, and guessed that the phone was probably broken.

Such a broken mobile phone, if it is repaired, the repair money is enough to buy a new mobile phone.

But really want to buy...

Xu Jiao felt that she couldn't afford such a large expenditure for the time being.

Can we only rely on the biological clock to get up in the future?

But if the original owner's biological clock was really reliable, she wouldn't be able to sleep until this time.

Xu Jiao was slightly distressed thinking about the lack of money. At the same time, she got down from her bed, took the toothpaste, toothbrush and cup, and walked towards the public sink. She didn't remember to call home until after she brushed her teeth and washed her face. .

……

At that time, Xu Jiao was already carrying her small schoolbag on the way to the self-study classroom. She deliberately walked on a small path where no one passed by, so that even if the phone's earpiece leaked, not too many people would look at her sideways.

"Hey! Girl! I called you so many times in the morning, why didn't you answer it? It's a big weekend, do you sleep in at school until this hour? Are you taking our money to go to school? Are you lazy? Let me tell you, don’t think that you can secretly imitate others because you are far away from home..."

Before Xu Jiao could say "Hello", there was a long-lost loud voice over there.

She frowned, and could only repeat what she did before, moving the phone away from her ear, and finally waited for the other side to take a breath and drink water, and then answered the conversation in time:

"You called me after six o'clock in the morning. Did something happen at home?"

"What else can you do? I think your brain is bad at reading. Why don't you remember what I told you last time? The family is still waiting for you to come back. There is no wedding ceremony for this marriage." Well, it’s the same as the bridal chamber wedding night in ancient times, and it’s going to be the May Day holiday, so hurry up and get it over with.” Xu Dashu hurriedly urged her, he was a stingy guy She has existed for a long time, and now she seems to want to buy a train ticket for Xu Jiao for the sake of the [-] yuan pie from heaven.

Xu Jiao listened expressionlessly to the way he tried to sell his daughter, and to make her willingly be exploited and dedicate herself to this poor family, and she didn't bother to talk to him about the reasoning, after all, this kind of stubborn guy ...

He just thinks he's right.

As long as the original owner was born in Xu's family, and he is not a son, he is a loser, a person who should dedicate everything to the family, and even if he gets married in the future, he will also pull his in-law's family to help his own family.

As long as Xu Jiao can make money for the family, Xu Jiao should feel lucky. Xu Dashu seems to take it for granted that Xu Jiao should not have any complaints, after all, the other party has given him a lot of money.

So there was silence on the phone for a few seconds, Xu Jiao casually said, "May Day happens to be an event at school, so I can't go back."

"What activity? Do you make money? Can I find you a job to make money? Why are you so ignorant!" Xu Dashu's voice raised another decibel, and the effect of blasting people through a mobile phone was deafening.

Xu Jiao pursed her lips, not wanting to spend her precious morning time arguing with such a person, she said coldly: "If there is nothing else, then I will hang up first."

"What are you hanging on! Let me tell you! If you don't buy a ticket for me now and come back immediately, I will ask your mother to go to school tomorrow and ask your teacher for leave in person. I want to see what kind of school you are. , and prevent students from going home on vacation.”

Having said that, Xu Dashu's attitude seemed to be that of a rascal, and he was not afraid of wearing shoes anyway, if he really made trouble in the school, it would only be Xu Jiao who would lose face in the department.

Hearing this, Xu Jiao didn't intend to have anything to do with this terrible original family, but now seeing that this family wanted to give her a head, she didn't mind cleaning up for the original owner.

She pursed her lips, and the sunlight flickering in the woods fell, reflecting the appearance in her pupils into dark brown.

Xu Dashu soon heard his daughter respond in a low voice: "I see."

That voice, just like the countless times before when I was fighting with them in the family, obviously my wings were not hardened, and I insisted on challenging the authority of the Lao Tzu, and finally I was trained to be honest, and I would use this kind of reluctant Voices echoed them.

He took it for granted that this time he could still hold this quiet, annoying daughter in his hands.

After hanging up the phone, he walked out of the house wearing a vest and waving a cattail fan. He casually complained to his wife that the breakfast was a bit too salty. Hearing that the other party asked about Xu Jiao, he immediately waved the fan indifferently:

"I've already sent a message to her, do you dare to come back if you give her a bear's heart and a leopard's guts?"

"Just go and tell the master over there that during the May Day holiday, our people must be in place, and ask them when they will settle the final payment... I think this God is getting more and more difficult for people to live. It’s so hot before summer, how can we do without an air conditioner? It’s a shame.”

……

the other side.

s university campus.

Xu Jiao put the broken mobile phone with increasingly noisy background sounds in her pocket, and headed towards an old, shady teaching building. No matter whether she answered the phone or washed herself this morning, the cold breath did not appear, nor did she I don't know where Zheng Zhiyu took the time to go again.

She clearly listed the things she had to do in her mind, and after she had a rough study plan, she walked into the somewhat dark old teaching building, went to the top floor, and sat down to study at a seat by the window.

The homework left by the teacher this week does not need to be completed online, so Xu Jiao doesn’t have to go to the library to queue up to fight for the computer. All she needs to do is hand in the paper homework, a one-page logic and arithmetic problem, and three long essays in English. She is going to finish writing these first.

Sunlight blows in from the window, sending in the warm wind that is about to start summer, and the wind is also mixed with the unknown scent of flowers. Xu Jiao sits there quietly, lowering her head and writing her homework. There are only two students in the classroom. One was reading a book near the door, and the other was in the middle of the back row, plugging in headphones as if doing a listening problem.

The only sound in the room was the sound of the electric fan.

Staying in such a comfortable atmosphere for a long time will give people the illusion of a quiet time.

……

Xu Jiao was very focused. After checking the grammar, sentence patterns and overall structure of her draft composition, she was about to copy it when she realized that she had been sitting on the seat for two hours, and her muscles and bones felt a little uncomfortable.

She stretched herself, and was about to get up to pour herself some water, taking advantage of the distance of these two steps to relax her brain, and finally raised her eyes——

Zheng Zhiyu didn't know when she appeared, but right now she was standing against the wall in the shadowed corner of the classroom, looking at her.

If it wasn't for the other two people in the classroom not noticing this movement, Xu Jiao would really be dazzled by her relaxed state, no different from ordinary people.

Looking at the fiery red, retro wedding dress on her body, it will give people a sense of time travel, as if they can't tell what is now and what is.

Obviously she didn't have any obvious expression, but Xu Jiao could feel the tenderness in her eyes.

"Boom."

A soft sound.

It was Xu Jiao who got up from the seat. She didn't pay much attention to her movements. She forgot that the chair would bounce back when it lost its weight after being pulled down. The other two students who were doing problems in the classroom looked up at her. , bowed his head again and did his own thing.

She apologized in a low voice, and walked out of the classroom lightly holding the water glass.

Zheng Zhiyu followed her pace silently.

In front of the water dispenser, Xu Jiao lowered her head to receive hot water. Zheng Zhiyu watched her movements quietly. There was no one around, so she asked Xu Jiao directly:

"I'm not here in the morning, did you have a good breakfast?"

She knew that Xu Jiao always skipped meals to save money, so she left for a while, and now she is thinking about it when she comes back.

Xu Jiao simply replied with two words: "Not hungry."

This is what it means to not eat.

Zheng Zhiyu looked at her steadily, because the water dispenser was located in the remote part of the corridor closest to the wall, and there were no windows around, so the heat could not spread to this side for the time being, and the surrounding air gradually became a little cooler.

Xu Jiao raised her eyes and glanced at her. After a while, she lowered her eyes and drank the water in her glass. She asked a question without warning, but changed the subject: "My mobile phone doesn't work very well. After self-study is over, Only in the evening can I go to the library to look up news about the hotel yesterday..."

Having said that, she stopped talking, as if she didn't know what to say next.

Zheng Zhiyu stared at her sullenly for two seconds, then said suddenly: "You don't need to worry about this matter, I've already settled it."

After a pause, she whispered again: "The reward will appear in your account in two days."

Xu Jiao: "..."

She blinked her eyes in a daze, and the hot air in the bottle slowly came out, forming a general and vague misty feeling in front of her face.

After a few seconds, Xu Jiao moved her lips, as if she wanted to ask her why she did these things.

However, the answer is well known.

Because Zheng Zhiyu knew that her life was not very good recently, and also knew that her selfishness was a bit too much, so the disappearance this morning was probably to communicate with the other party about the remuneration. That thing comes true.

Her tone was relaxed, but Xu Jiao knew that all of this... was just because she liked it.

I like Xu Jiao, so I am willing to take the things she cares about to my heart. When I see her unhappy, I will reflect on what I have done badly, and even fix it overnight, but my face is calm and calm.

Zheng Zhiyu didn't pursue the victory as he did when he was doing that kind of intimate thing, with a strong sense of coercion, instead, like moistening things silently, he unknowingly integrated his thoughts into Xu Jiao's life seamlessly, and waited until the time came. When she was a god, Xu Jiao had the feeling that she was surrounded by Zheng Zhiyu's love.

Because I didn't know how to respond, I could only lower my eyes and look at the cup of hot water in my hand.

Xu Jiao didn't refuse the help like those people who live in poverty but have strong self-esteem, but just said out loud: "I will remember this matter, although it seems that I don't have this opportunity now, but if there is anything I can do to help you in the future To yours, I will definitely..."

The content behind has not come out yet.

Zheng Zhiyu raised his hand to pinch her lips, as if pinching a duck's beak, a slight smile flashed in his eyes, and then said:

"I just have a favor I want you to do right now."

"I'm missing a partner, can you help me find it?"

Xu Jiao: "..."

She turned her eyes to the side for a moment, thinking of the pictures in the bathroom before, she vaguely knew that some things should not be started, otherwise...it would be easy to make mistakes again and again.

In the world of the last novel, it was because she mistakenly developed a not-so-pure relationship with Lilith that the ending got involved so outrageously. Now, she has stepped into the same pit twice. inside.

But she still wanted to stop this trend in time, not only her heart, but also Zheng Zhiyu's almost fruitless resoluteness.

"Have you ever wondered why we meet in two different worlds in succession?"

"Maybe I'm completely different from the lover you imagined, and there won't be any good results. You don't need to waste time on me."

Just as Zheng Zhiyu wanted to make a sound, footsteps could be heard on the stairs at the corner not far away.

She stopped talking.

Two students came together, each holding a water glass in their hands. When they saw Xu Jiao at the end of the corridor, their eyes were somewhat surprised, as if they heard Xu Jiao's voice talking to herself just now.

Xu Jiao didn't pay much attention to this small scene, and walked towards the study room.

……

She stayed in the study room until after ten o'clock in the evening.

By the time I walked out of the teaching building, the sky above my head had changed from the white sun shining in the blue sky to the starry sky. Perhaps it was because of the good air quality in the nearest city. Apart from the brightest Polaris, there were crowds of people around me. Other highlights.

Xu Jiao stopped walking unknowingly, just looked up at the starry sky.

After a day of study, such a scene can well sweep away her mental exhaustion and give her an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. She stopped there for a while, not caring about the people chatting around, or Passers-by in a hurry.

Some dim and indistinct shadows behind her suddenly asked her: "You seem to like looking at the sky very much."

Xu Jiao let out a "hmm".

Then Zheng Zhiyu said, "Close your eyes."

Xu Jiao: "?"

She lowered her eyes to look at the shadow at her feet, wondering what kind of tricks this person was playing, but even if she didn't close her eyes, the next moment, her whole body seemed to be melted into darkness, and the light in front of her eyes gradually dimmed down.

Then—

The whole person feels a little weightless.

When there was light again in front of her eyes, she unexpectedly found that she was so close to the sky, as if she could pick up those tiny, shining stars with just a lift of her hand.

Even the wind blowing on her face was stronger than before, making her thin clothes rattle.

Xu Jiao gathered her shoulders and clothes, barely looked away from the horizon, and found that the scene in front of her was like the lights of thousands of houses. In the distant place, the lights were like fireflies bit by bit, swimming from the sky like a long dragon, and falling In the dormitory building in front of me, I can vaguely see the curtains fluttering in the windows.

The place where Xu Jiao is standing seems to be the commanding height of the campus——

When I glanced out, the buildings I saw were all lower than myself, so I felt like I was too cold at a high place.

She looked at the huge lightning rod standing in the center of the roof, combined with the view from here, and immediately knew that she was standing on the top of the newest library building in the school,

Xu Jiao raised her eyebrows, and slowly said to the woman standing beside her:

"Why did you bring me here all of a sudden?"

Zheng Zhiyu's robes fluttered, and she sat casually near the guardrail. The hanging red skirt fell outside the building. She leaned lazily on a concrete pillar beside her, and said casually:

"Don't you like looking at the sky?"

If you like it, I will take you to the best place to watch it.

From the corner of the eye, Xu Jiao pursed her lips, as if she was about to say something to dispel her thoughts again, Zheng Zhiyu calmly reminded: "Don't worry too much, it's my job to chase you, let alone..."

Xu Jiao: "What's more?"

A slight smile appeared in Zheng Zhiyu's eyes: "Besides, compared to the meteor shower you showed me in the Miracle Continent, what I did is nothing."

The implication seems to be reminding Xu Jiao that I am not one ten-thousandth as good as you in terms of provocative methods.

Xu Jiao didn't say a word, but she was distracted thinking about how she suddenly disappeared in the campus just now, she only hoped that there was no surveillance camera nearby, and also hoped that the light over there was very dim, and the students would not notice the horror Weird picture.

She stood in a safe place and looked at the sky. Zheng Zhiyu disappeared for a while, and when she came back, she already had a bowl of steaming noodles in her hand.

Xu Jiao took a look at her serving noodles with a bowl, raised her brows, and said in a low voice:

"You won't be taking advantage of the cafeteria not to pay attention, secretly..."

Zheng Zhiyu pulled out a very thin card with the other hand as if conjuring.

It was the student card that Xu Jiao was carrying.

Xu Jiao: "..."

Seeing her helpless look, Zheng Zhiyu twitched the corners of her lips, as if she wanted to tease her with a smile, but in the end she just said to her: "This tomato and egg noodle is two yuan and five a bowl, it seems to be the cheapest and the most delicious Yes, if you don’t even supplement this bit of nutrition, I guess you may not live long enough to become rich.”

Xu Jiao listened to her poisonous and caring words, a smile flashed across her eyes, she didn't refuse her kindness, she just walked in front of her and raised her hand to take the bowl of noodles.

The high place in this building is very windy, if the noodles are not eaten quickly, they will easily become cold.

Xu Jiao finished her supper in a few minutes, and the bowl was lost by Zheng Zhiyu's "magic". The woman in red beckoned to her, beckoning her to come and sit beside her.

Xu Jiao glanced at where she was, and shook her head—this is the center of the school, and the light is very strong. If you sit there, students in the opposite building can easily see it.

However, Zheng Zhiyu thought she was afraid, went to her side, raised his hand to hold her, and a voice that always made people think:

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm not here to fuck you."

Xu Jiao: "..."

She stared blankly at the guy in front of her who could step on the accelerator and start the car all the time.

As if pleased by her expression, Zheng Zhiyu lowered her head and kissed her cheek, and that kiss moved to Xu Jiao's lips, until Xu Jiao couldn't bear to push it away because she couldn't breathe, and she hugged the kiss in front of her face. The man said with a low waist:

"Thinking about it this way, this is actually a good place."

"Look, you can see them, but they can't see you. I don't know that in this dark night, in the middle of the sacred roof, there is a poor girl with a weeping expression, your begging for mercy, crying, It's all blown into the wind, but only I can hear it..."

This time it was Xu Jiao's turn to pinch her lips:

"To shut up."

"It's not over, is it?"

Zheng Zhiyu lowered her head and pressed her head against her neck, like a little pet who knew she was wrong, and obediently closed the microphone until a few seconds later, Xu Jiao heard her whisper in her ear with an evil smile asked:

"Jiaojiao, if you don't like what I said—"

"Why are you so hot right now?"
