Superficially reserved

When he came outside, Zhou Ding lit a cigarette.

He didn't inhale, just held it between his fingertips, letting the smoke curl up.From the corner of the eye, through the glass, he quietly glanced at the few people sitting in the restaurant.

He was very annoyed by this Shen Youtang.

Although he knew that Shen Youtang had a girlfriend before, Xia Yu would not take him seriously, but he still didn't like Shen Youtang's self-talk and posted Xia Yu, as if he had a very good relationship with Xia Yu.

Especially the sound of "six children" made him very upset.

Why are you calling so intimate?

Can't you see that Xia Yu doesn't welcome him?

At this time, the waiter brought the old duck stew.

The old duck pot was steaming hot and placed in a soup basin. When it was served, the soup was still boiling and billowing white smoke. Everyone sitting there subconsciously leaned back, and Shen Youtang's hand was also on Xia Yu's. shoulder, pulling him back.

Seeing this natural and skillful protective action, Zhou Dingyuan's slightly frowned brows tightened even more.

The next second, he was stunned because Xia Yu looked at him.

He winked at him quickly, then looked away, sat up straight, avoiding Shen Youtang's arms, then took out his mobile phone, bowed his head and typed on it.

After a while, Zhou Ding felt a vibration in his pocket, and he immediately took out his phone to check——

[Xia Yu: Forgot again? 】

These three words are a bit abrupt, but Zhou Ding understood it at a glance.

The dark clouds above his head dissipated immediately, and he replied: [I haven't forgotten. 】

[Xia Yu: Come back for dinner if you don't forget. 】

[Zhou Ding: Here we come! 】

After wringing out the cigarette butt and throwing away the cigarette butt, Zhou Ding briskly re-entered the restaurant.

When he entered, Shen Youtang was talking about something, he paused when he came in, and then continued to talk.

This time Zhou Ding didn't feel bored anymore, instead he felt a kind of secret pride.

How about sitting next to Xia Yu?So what if you put your hand on Xia Yu's shoulder?So what about calling such an intimate nickname?

He wasn't the only one who had seen Xia Yu's other appearance.

Zhou Ding's eyelids drooped slightly, he took a bite of the beef, and his eyes fell on Xia Yu's curved fingertips.

Only he knows that he sucked the red mark on Xia Yu's index finger.Only he knew that besides his fingers, there were many, many more such marks on Xia Yu's body.

Each of them was printed by him himself.

With your lips, your teeth, or your fingers.

He made them one by one.

Only he knows all this.

The dinner table.

Shen Youtang is still trying his best to invite Xia Yu to their house for the New Year: "Liu'er, if you feel bored at school, you can call me, and I can come and pick you up at my house anytime."

Xia Yu swallowed the food in her mouth, shook her head and said, "No need, it's fine at school."

"Don't feel embarrassed. My parents won't come back until New Year's Eve. You can even come to my house to live until the end of the New Year. I told my parents about you. They have a good impression of you. Even if they You don't have to feel reserved at home."

"no need."

Xia Yu shook her head again, "I think it's very convenient at school."

After repeated rejections, Shen Youtang finally died down: "Okay, then I'll go and play with you when I have time."

"Are you with your girlfriend when you're free?" Zhou Ding interrupted suddenly.

Shen Youtang raised his eyes to meet Zhou Ding's gaze, and said in a daze, "She's gone home."

Zhou Ding asked again as if chatting: "Where is your girlfriend?"

Shen Youtang said: "It's from Sucheng."

Zhou Ding said loudly: "My family is also in Sioux City, and it is only about an hour's drive from here to Sioux City, which is very close."

He Xinyang's sixth strategy: Please don't carelessly step on all other people who may become rivals in love in front of your partner!But be careful, don't be too deliberate, it's best to leave no trace!

Shen Youtang hummed: "It's quite close."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Ding, always feeling that there was something in the other party's words.But the other party didn't know Ruan Xin, so what could he hide?

Shen Youtang thought it was weird, but at the same time he was a little confused, so he simply talked about something else.

"Liu'er, do you have any plans for winter vacation?"

Xia Yu shook her head: "No, just stay at school."

"That's so boring, you can play games with me." Shen Youtang suggested.

"I don't like playing games very much."

Xia Yu lowered her eyes and said in a calm tone, "Concentrate on eating."

Sensing Xia Yu's impatience, Shen Youtang nodded and finally shut up.

After dinner, the two sides separated.

It was completely dark outside, and it was snowing lightly.The snowflakes are light and small, and they melt as soon as they fall on the body.

Zhou Ding went to the nearby supermarket to buy two umbrellas and gave one to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu looked at the umbrella in his hand: "I thought you would hold it with me."

"I really want to, but I will restrain myself."

Zhou Ding tilted his head and smiled at Xia Yu, but he was afraid of being noticed, so he quickly restrained his expression, "I don't want you to feel pressured."

Xia Yu was slightly startled, and after humming, she lowered her eyes and opened her umbrella: "Is this your answer?"

"Yes, that's my answer."

Zhou Ding's voice was very low, but his eyes and tone were soft, "I thought about it all night that day, and I've thought it through very clearly."

"What do you think?"

Xia Yu opened the umbrella and walked forward with a cane, "Let's talk while walking."

"it is good."

The night was low, the wind was mixed with snowflakes, and it was a little cold on the face.

Zhou Ding walked beside Xia Yu side by side, protecting him from the cold wind from the west.

Then he lowered the umbrella, tilted his head sideways under the cover of the umbrella, his eyes passed through the night, and fell straight and focused on Xia Yu's face.

His voice was very soft, but he said very seriously and word by word——

"I like you, I really like you."

"I don't know why I like you so much. Maybe this is the so-called love that doesn't know where it started, and it goes deeper and deeper. Does it feel a little nasty? But this is what I have seriously thought about."

"However, I will restrain my behavior and emotions, and will not put pressure on you, nor will I ask you to respond."

"As long as you allow me to continue to treat you well, and allow me to continue to like you."

Back in the dormitory, Xia Yu sat on the bed in a daze for a long time.

Many people have said that they like him, and many people have confessed to him.

Since childhood, this outstanding face has attracted many peach blossoms for him, and even these peach blossoms include not only girls, but also boys.

He has heard too many "likes".

But none of these "likes" left a trace in his heart, he could always reject each other calmly and politely, even those who had confessed to him, he had no impression of them.

But Zhou Ding's confession...

It made him feel a little different.

He still feels that Zhou Ding's affection is abrupt and inexplicable.

He has never felt such pure and strong emotions in the family he has been with for 20 years.

Moreover, they hadn't spoken to each other a month ago, nor had any intersections. Even the beginning of his relationship came from his initiative, and Zhou Ding's liking at the beginning was not very deep.

How did it evolve into what it is now?

Xia Yu blinked.

Is it because they had sex?

Is it because they share a secret?

Is it because the more shady the relationship, the more exciting it is?

He didn't understand.

He likes everything to be clear, everything to be under control.

But Zhou Ding's variable...he felt it was abrupt, inexplicable, and he really couldn't figure it out.

But it seems...

Not very repulsive.

Xia Yu let out a long breath.

Forget it, forget it if you don't understand, anyway, he doesn't want to replace Zhou Ding yet.

Then...

Take another look.

Take another look.

With a sound of "buzz", the mobile phone placed aside vibrated.

Xia Yu recovered from her thoughts, picked up her phone——

【Zhou Ding: What are you doing now? 】

[Xia Yu: Didn't do anything. 】

[Zhou Ding: A few friends in the basketball club organized an event to watch horror movies together, are you coming? 】

Horror movies are Xia Yu's blind spot.

He doesn't watch horror movies very much, so he can't say that he is very scared, but he is a little scared, so every time he watches horror movies, he has to be accompanied by someone.

[Xia Yu: What horror movie? 】

[Zhou Ding: An old movie, old X from the mountain village, have you seen it? 】

[Xia Yu: I haven't seen it, is it scary? 】

[Zhou Ding: It was scary when I was a child, but it’s okay to watch now. It was Wu Le and the others who suddenly wanted to recall the classics, so they dug up this old movie. 】

【Zhou Ding: Are you coming? 】

Anyway, there was nothing wrong, and someone watched it together. Xia Yu thought about it and agreed.

[Xia Yu: Come on. 】

[Zhou Ding: Wai Wai 1234567. 】

[Xia Yu: I signed up for a trumpet and went there without making a sound. 】

[Zhou Ding: Good. 】

On the other end, Zhou Ding raised the corner of his mouth.

He turned on the microphone and said to his teammates in YY: "Wait a minute, I have a friend who is also coming over."

Wu Le said: "Who is it?"

Lu Siwei: "Got it."

Jiang Yang: "Got it, then I'll get a glass of water."

He Xinyang: "Move Aite Wule with your mouth, just reply and receive it."

Wu Le: "Oh oh oh, I received it!"

Shen Youtang did not reply, but typed "1" in YY's room to indicate receipt.

Many people followed suit and typed "1".

After about 3 minutes, YY jumped into a white vest with only one letter "S" in his nickname.

Zhou Ding directly put a yellow horse on the newcomer, and then said: "My friend is here, you can get ready to start, I will count down from 5 later, and when I count to '1', I will start together. All received Hit '1' on channel."

After confirming that everyone had deducted "1", Zhou Ding started counting down. The moment he counted to 1, everyone in YY started playing "Mountain Village Old X" at the same time.

"Old X in the Mountain Village" is a very old movie, and it is also the childhood shadow of many people.

Even talking about Hong Kong horror movies, this movie is definitely the first that many people think of.

Even though so many years have passed, the children who were scared at the beginning have grown up, their tolerance has improved, and they know all about the plot, but many people will still be scared when they watch it again.

After a while, as the plot progressed, some people in the live broadcast room began to "shaha".

He Xinyang: "Who is it? It's okay to watch a movie, but you can also laugh at a female ghost?"

Jiang Yang: "It's not shasha, it's hiss! Ha——, there are ups and downs, right?"

Lu Siwei: "Fuck! This toilet! My whole life's childhood shadow!"

Lin Fan: "The shadow of my childhood was when the old man in the back died. I will never forget that scene for the rest of my life."

Jiang Yang: "Who isn't? This film is my shadow from beginning to end!"

Zhao Xiunan: "Hello everyone, is there anyone like me who is watching while hoping for good luck?"

Zhou Ding ignored the commotion in YY, he observed the little green dot in front of the S.

The little green dot flickered, indicating that Xia Yu didn't turn off the mic, but just didn't speak, and his breath could still be picked up by the mic.

After watching it for a while, he sent Xia Yu a message——

【Zhou Ding: How do you feel?Will you be afraid? 】

[Xia Yu: Not bad. 】

[Zhou Ding: That's good, if you are afraid, you can turn it off. 】

[Xia Yu: Yes. 】

As the plot progresses further and further, everyone in YY is watching more and more attentively.

The gags of your words and my words disappeared, leaving only exclamations and hisses that sounded from time to time.

Finally, the movie entered the highest part-the female ghost appeared in the pool!

The female ghost is dressed in a blue dress, with long black hair hanging loose, and accompanied by sad and weird music, whether it is visual or auditory, the audience is instantly shrouded in horror!

"Fuck!"

"I rely on me, I dare not look at it!"

"I go!"

"Prosperity, civilization, democracy and harmony!"

"Don't be afraid."

……

……

During the successive speeches, Shen Youtang inexplicably noticed the "Don't be afraid".

It was Zhou Ding's voice, and he could recognize it.

He clicked on YY, and took a special look at the small dot in front of Zhou Ding. It had already dimmed, and it didn't light up for a while. It seemed that Zhou Ding had turned off the microphone, otherwise the breathing would make the dot flicker.

By coincidence, he glanced at the vest named "S" again.

The small dot in front of the S is also darkened.

He thought for a while, moved the mouse, and clicked on S's information.

——It’s a completely new account, without filling in any information, obviously just registered.

Shen Youtang pursed his lips slightly, and looked at the trumpet with serious eyes.

For some reason, he always felt that this trumpet belonged to Xia Yu.

There is no reason and no reason.

That's how he feels.

But if this S is Xia Yu, why did he open a new account here?

Even if you haven't registered before, you will come as soon as you come, why don't you say hello to everyone?

Moreover, if it was him, when did he have such a good relationship with Zhou Ding?

Zhou Ding actually told him "don't be afraid"?

Suddenly, Shen Youtang was taken aback.

The vest named S disappeared!

S quit YY!

Shen Youtang hurried to look at Zhou Ding's vest again.

Zhou Ding's vest is still there, but the small dot on the front is still gray, and it hasn't been lit up for a long time!

Is it such a coincidence?

It was as if my heart was being squeezed suddenly, and I felt a thrill that I didn't feel when I watched a horror movie.

Shen Youtang swallowed, feeling a strong urge for no reason.

He wanted to make a call to Xia Yu.

No, he wants to go to Xia Yu's dormitory to take a look now rather than make a phone call!

Could it be Xia Yu?

Will it be him?

The author has something to say: Zhou Ding: It’s only an hour, huh, I chased it all the way to Sanya! [Crazy pull step]
