Xia Meng

Bai Qi let go of the hand that was holding Xia Meng's wrist. Xia Meng's legs were still weak due to the tension at the beginning. As soon as Bai Qi let go, she slid down the wall. Bai Qi was startled and quickly hugged her , helped her to sit on the steps of the stairs.

"Sorry for scaring you."

"Fortunately, I'm not too scared."

The two laughed, then fell into a brief silence together.

"If only I were a girl, maybe you will like me." Bai Qi tilted his head and looked at Xia Meng, jokingly said.

"That's not necessarily the case." Xia Meng looked at Bai Qi and said seriously: "I like her not because she is a girl. I like her. I just like this person. It has nothing to do with gender. So even if you are a girl, if I don't Like you as a person, that's still the same."

Bai Qi nodded thoughtfully, "That is to say, it's not because I'm a man that you don't like me, right?"

"You can say so."

"Fortunately, otherwise I would lose in gender, and I feel quite wronged."

Xia Meng smiled, did not speak, took out a cigarette from her pocket, and handed it to Bai Qi, Bai Qi was not surprised, took one naturally, took out a lighter, lit it for Xia Meng, and lit it for herself.The two of them sat quietly, and the smoke shrouded lightly above their heads, and soon dispersed again.

"Actually, after dinner that day, I followed you all the way to your house." Bai Qi blew out a small smoke ring.

Xia Meng tilted her head and thought for a while, "Ah, that day," she took a puff of cigarette after speaking, and continued, "Then you saw it all?"

Bai Qi nodded.

"Sometimes, I feel that I'm so cheap. After being hurt like this, I still like her. Sooner or later, I will die at her hands."

"Don't talk nonsense. I can't control my liking, so if you reject me, I still like you, and I'm pretty cheap." Bai Qi flicked off the cigarette ash.

"I can't say no to you." Xia Meng shrugged helplessly.

The bus in the evening rush hour is always full of people, and everyone has the same indifferent and numb expression, either sitting or standing, all with their heads down, staring at the small lit screen in their hands.Everyone seems to have set up a transparent barrier around themselves, living in their own space without disturbing each other.

Xia Meng sat on the last row of seats by the window, perhaps due to the large number of people, the air was not circulating, and felt a little dizzy and out of breath, so she leaned on the back of the chair, closed her eyes, and focused on listening to the broadcast site, so I can confirm where I am now.

As soon as I close my eyes, I think of Bai Qi's face right in front of me, the slightly heavy breathing sweeping across my face, and that beautiful but sad face, and those lips that are close to Chi Chi, Xia Meng suddenly thinks. Shocked, he opened his eyes, and his heartbeat accelerated a few times.

How old are you? Didn't the deer in your heart die a long time ago? Why did he kick a few times like a corpse, probably a return to the light.

As soon as Xia Meng arrived at the door, before she opened the door, she smelled the aroma of food. Her stomach, which was already hungry, was stimulated by the smell and immediately gurgled.

When he opened the door, he saw Wei Linxi serving dishes on the table, and when he saw Xia Meng, he said happily, "You're back, it just so happens that the dishes are all ready, let's eat."

Although Xia Meng really wanted to ask her, "Why are you here again, are you free?" But looking at the fragrant food on the table, she swallowed her words and saliva, filling her stomach before talking.

Xia Meng felt like it had been a long time since there was a hot meal waiting for her as soon as she got home. I don’t know when, when I got home and waited for me, it was either in the dark and silent, or I played my three legs. The cat's cooking skills can handle a meal casually.These scenes have long become a habit.

This kind of family atmosphere, in Xia Meng's memory, seems to have been a long time ago, until the deepest memory was evoked by this homely food smell.

Xia Meng was lying on the bed in a daze. Today seemed to be a very long day. Staring at the chandelier on the ceiling, she became sleepy and simply closed her eyes.

When Wei Linxi came in, Xia Meng still maintained this posture. Wei Linxi thought Xia Meng was asleep, so he crept onto the bed, propped his head sideways, and stared at Xia Meng.Xia Meng ignored her and remained motionless.After a while, Wei Linxi gently grabbed Xia Meng's left wrist, as if looking at the scar, Xia Meng felt a soft touch sticking to it.

Wei Linxi lightly kissed the scar on Xia Meng's wrist.

Xia Meng opened her eyes and stared at Wei Linxi. When Wei Linxi looked up, she was startled when she saw Xia Meng looking at her.

"Are you awake?"

"I didn't sleep."

Wei Linxi smiled awkwardly.

"Why are you sleeping here again? Don't you have a home?" Xia Meng moved her stiff body a little and asked Wei Linxi.

Wei Linxi lay down, pressed against Xia Meng's head, and said, "Wherever you are, my home will be there."

Xia Meng sneered, turned around, and turned her back to Wei Linxi.Wei Linxi was not frustrated either, and took advantage of the opportunity to hug her from behind, just like when they didn't break up, Xia Meng's favorite safe posture.

After a while, Wei Linxi felt that Xia Meng should be asleep, and was about to reach out to turn off the light, but Xia Meng said to her, "Bai Qi confessed to me today."

Wei Linxi's hand stayed in mid-air, his scalp felt numb for a while, and after reacting for a while, he immediately sat up straight, turned to Xia Meng, and asked her: "Then did you agree?"

Xia Meng was pulled across her body, moved a few times, lost sleepiness, straightened her upper body, leaned on the pillow at the head of the bed, looked at Wei Linxi with interest, "Guess."

Wei Linxi became anxious, "No, surely not, right?"

"Well, no."

Wei Linxi heaved a sigh of relief, a hanging heart fell to the ground, and then pulled Xia Meng into his arms.

"You are mine, no one can take it away."

Xia Meng was like a doll, swinging her arms weakly, letting Wei Linxi hug her without any response.

"But you don't know how to cherish me."

"Nonsense." Wei Linxi hugged Xia Meng even tighter, as if he wanted to embed Xia Meng into his body.

Xia Meng was a little out of breath from being strangled, but she didn't break free. This feeling of being hugged tightly and fearing that she would disappear was not annoying, but a feeling that she was cared about.

"Don't leave me." After an unknown amount of time, Wei Linxi suddenly said something in a low voice. Xia Meng didn't hear clearly for a while, and thought it was a dream. this.

"Obviously you didn't know how to cherish me time and time again, and made me fall into despair time and time again. Come and tell me now, don't leave you, what should I do, even if I am tortured and wronged by you, I still have to be like a dog Sticking to you?"

Wei Linxi felt the warmth and dampness on his shoulders, and opened Xia Meng to see that Xia Meng's tears were like thunderstorms in summer, and they fell down as soon as he said that, which caught people off guard.

Wei Linxi frantically wiped away the tears on Xia Meng's face, but just after wiping it off, it immediately got wet again. Xia Meng didn't know why she felt so wronged. Can become so indifferent.

She can't bear this kind of hot and cold, whether it's arguing or quarreling, at least she can communicate, but the cold war is different, no one talks, two people are not as good as strangers, even after the anger passes, they don't talk to each other. Knowing who will speak first, I am afraid that the other party who speaks first will ignore me, and fall into another embarrassing situation again, just consuming each other's energy and feelings until the last party collapses first, and the other party regrets it.

Wei Linxi had no choice but to hold Xia Meng's unstoppable tears on her shoulders.The cicadas on the tree outside the window are still chirping tirelessly, the external unit of the air conditioner is buzzing and vibrating the wall, occasionally there are cars passing by, the sound of the engine stops for a short time, the summer night is noisy and quiet.

Xia Meng's crying gradually quieted down amidst the noise, and after a while, Xia Meng felt much more comfortable in her heart, as if the heavy and sticky turbidity in her heart had been washed away at once, and her whole body and mind were refreshed Not a lot.

The summer vacation is coming to an end, and like most students who have had a crazy summer vacation, Xia Ke has recently fallen into a nightmare of crazily making up for summer vacation homework.Xia Meng is not like ordinary parents who urge their children to do their homework as soon as they are on vacation, and supervise the amount of homework completed every day. Xia Meng has always had a laissez-faire policy towards Xia Ke, self-development, as long as he does not do illegal and criminal things and does not go astray road.

Perhaps it was because she was more self-conscious when she was a student. Xia Meng never urged Xia Ke to study. She felt that homework was her own business.Moreover, study does not represent the whole of a person. Good or bad is not determined by academic performance. No matter how good study is, poor character is just a waste in Xia Meng's eyes.

However, Xia Meng also believed that people would look down on someone who couldn't even bear the hardships of studying.Therefore, under the subtle influence of Xia Meng's thoughts, Xia Ke is more serious and motivated. Xia Meng thinks that this kind of behavior of crazily making up homework at the end of summer vacation is the nature of most students. It is harmless and never will. So I blame Xia Ke, as long as I can make it up before the start of school.

Wei Linxi has also been busy recently. The school is about to start and the store is about to open. Now that Xia Meng is missing, she has to recruit someone again. She is also busy going to the store to tidy up and recruit people every day.But I still come to pick Xia Meng up from get off work often, and the weekly dishes are also prepared regularly.

Xia Meng is also very busy. The summer vacation is over, and the courses for the new semester have to be arranged. Many new students have come, and the class schedule has to be rescheduled, and they have to cooperate with their own courses in the school. Thinking that they will soon enter the school and the company is busy. Running between the two ends of life, the eyes go dark.

Even though Wei Linxi kept telling Xia Meng that she would go back to the store when she was tired, and she could raise Xia Meng without her doing anything, Xia Meng still didn't want to go back now, because she hadn't been able to get out of the previous shadow so quickly. After coming out, she still didn't completely trust Wei Linxi again.

Right now, what worries Xia Meng even more than thinking about how busy she will be in the future is that the company is going to do team building.For social terror, team building must be ranked among the top three most feared things. Even if Xia Meng didn't have such serious social terror, she still shook her head when she heard it.

After lunch, Xia Meng took advantage of the break time to sneak into the stair passage to smoke. As soon as he lit it, he heard someone push the door in. He thought it was a student, and almost threw the cigarette out. When he looked again, it was Bai Qi.

Xia Meng withdrew her hand, and quickly took a breath to suppress her shock, "It's you, you scared me."

Bai Qi also lit one, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, are you afraid of being caught?"

"That's not true. I'm afraid that the students will see it and teach them badly."

"Can you smoke openly in front of me? Are you afraid of spoiling me?"

"Do you still need me to spoil it?" Xia Meng glanced at Bai Qi and smacked her mouth, "However, you are not surprised that I can smoke."

Bai Qi stretched his neck and said, "I already knew."

"Huh? How did you know?"

"I also often come here to smoke. I found out that someone had smoked here before, and then I found out that you often come out there, and you still smell of cigarettes. I knew it."

Xia Meng hurriedly lowered her head and smelled herself left and right, "Is it heavy? No, I always open the window and wait for the smell to basically dissipate before going back."

"No smell, but I can smell you."

Xia Meng took a step back, tilted her head tactically, and looked at Bai Qi from top to bottom, "You seem like a pervert when you say that."

Without even thinking about it, Bai Qi replied, "Be more confident, it seems to be gone."

"It's so annoying, why is there such a thing as team building?" Xia dreamed of tomorrow's team building, and his head hurt again.

"Not only team building, but also dinner at night."

Xia Meng only felt that her eyes were dark.

"Or else I'll say I'm sick and I won't go." Xia Mengji came from his heart, his eyes brightened.

Bai Qi told her as if she had expected it a long time ago: "No leave is allowed in the team building, otherwise it will be treated as absenteeism."

Xia Meng felt dark again, wishing she could just throw herself out of the window.

What should come will always come, even if the prayer time is too slow, it will only prolong the waiting period for the death sentence, and the exciting team building will come on time.

Throughout the afternoon, Xia Meng kept her face on her shoulders, pulled the corners of her mouth far-fetchedly to match everyone's laughter, and played human-confusing games that kindergarten children are not uncommon to play. During the intermission, Xia Meng's eyes had lost the light. I just want to take a deep puff and figure out why I'm sitting here.

After finally getting through the time of losing my dreams in the afternoon, I still have to face the dinner in the evening where you come and I exchange business.

The day before, Xia Meng told Wei Linxi that she didn't come to pick her up today, and that the company was going to have a dinner party. Wei Linxiqian reminded him not to drink too much, but also to be careful of the restless hands of some men, so he almost wanted to follow him.

Xia Meng and two other female teachers took Bai Qi's car to the restaurant together. Before getting in the car, Bai Qi opened the co-pilot door for Xia Meng. The teacher sat in, and he went straight into the back seat.

Bai Qi was so angry that her heart twitched, but the female teacher was very happy. She kept asking about Bai Qi along the way, so Bai Qi had to chat with her patiently. Xia Meng hid behind Bai Qi and smiled secretly. Qi glanced at the rearview mirror and sighed helplessly.

During the whole dinner, the female teacher stuck close to Bai Qi, and Xia Meng didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and she even fanned the flames to match them up.

In fact, Xia Meng is trying to make herself look like she has her own small circle, resisting a certain male teacher who keeps coming over, one moment persuades Xia Meng to drink, and the next moment wants to play games with Xia Meng, Xia Meng drinks politely After two cups, I immediately wanted to stay away from him.

But the male teacher still followed Xia Meng relentlessly, and insisted on talking about life with Xia Meng, Xia Meng turned his head away, not wanting to face that mouth that smelled of alcohol and smoke.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone basically drank too much, and the atmosphere became even more chaotic. They all let go of their usual polite appearance on campus and showed their prototypes.

Bai Qi was surrounded by several female teachers asking questions, and she also couldn't escape the fate of being persuaded to drink. Xia Meng was drinking alone, and the male teacher's nonsense was still ringing in her ears. Unable to hold back, the alcohol paralyzed his head and gradually became irritable.

The male teacher talked more and more vigorously, and the more he talked, the closer he got, almost sticking to Xia Meng's face. Just when Xia Meng couldn't help but push him away, Bai Qi pulled her up.

"Teacher Bai, what are you doing?" The male teacher looked up at Bai Qi drunkenly, showing displeasure.

Bai Qi pulled Xia Meng back, "I think everyone is a little too drunk, I have anti-alcohol medicine in the car, let Teacher Xia go get some together."

Before the male teacher could answer, Bai Qi dragged Xia Meng out of the private room.

As soon as Xia Meng got out of the private room, she took a few deep breaths, feeling that if she was a second later, she would not be able to help but explode.

"Are you okay?" Bai Qi asked Xia Meng, and the two walked towards the underground parking lot together.

Xia Meng shook her head, then quickly stopped her movements, her head seemed to be covered with paste, and she felt dizzy when she shook her head, "It's okay."

Xia Meng leaned on Bai Qi's car, drinking the mineral water Bai Qi brought her from the car, trying to wake up a little bit, Bai Qi was looking for a hangover medicine.

"Why did you keep matching me and that teacher just now?" Bai Qi asked in the car.

Xia Meng's eyes were already half-closed, and she took another sip of water, "She likes you very much, you can try."

Bai Qi got out of the car, took the pill, stood in front of Xia Meng, and handed it to Xia Meng.Xia Meng was about to reach for it, but Bai Qi raised it up, Xia Meng reached for it, but couldn't reach it.

Xia Meng frowned, and when she was about to ask Bai Qi what she was doing, Bai Qi suddenly approached, put her hands on the car, and surrounded Xia Meng, leaving Xia Meng nowhere to escape.
