Be affectionate

Before the movie was over, Lin You and Gu Xi came out of the theater.

Because it is still during the Chinese New Year, there are bright red lanterns and New Year messages everywhere, and the huge advertising screens in the commercial center show the New Year advertisements of domestic and foreign brands and the New Year greetings of stars.

The lively atmosphere can infect almost everyone in this situation.

After confessing her love just now, Lin You was both excited and apprehensive. She took Gu Xi's hand and walked aimlessly on the street.

It doesn't matter where you're going or how long you're going.

She just wanted to stay with Gu Xi quietly and not separate.

After the two walked for a while in silence, Gu Xi stopped suddenly.

Lin You looked back at her.

After being kissed by Lin You just now, Gu Xi has not said a word until now.

I don't know if Gu Xi was frightened by himself, but Lin You didn't say anything, and turned around to help Gu Xi wrap the scarf again, so as not to let the cold wind get in.

The two stood on the bustling Lunar New Year street, and the silence made them out of place.

It was Lin You who spoke first.

"I know that you may think I'm joking, or you didn't figure out what kind of emotion you are. If you are worried about this, I can confess to you again very seriously. I like you, not like ordinary friends, classmates or girlfriends. It’s the kind of liking that wants to hold hands, hug, kiss, and be with you forever.”

Lin You's eyes are bright and gentle, looking at Gu Xi like starlight, just like looking at the most precious treasure in the world.

In the theater just now, when she kissed Gu Xi, she was not pushed away by Gu Xi, and she even saw the flash of joy and enthusiasm in Gu Xi's eyes.

She could feel Gu Xi's trembling in her arms, which was Gu Xi's involuntary response.

In the past two days, Lin You has recalled every detail of getting along with Gu Xi, and Gu Xi's reaction to her, all the tenderness and care are the traces that are ready to come out.

This made it hard for her not to expect Gu Xi to give her an affirmative answer.

Gu Xi's chin was wrapped by Lin You's stacked scarf, and it felt warm.

Finally, Gu Xi looked up at her, her beautiful lips curved into an arc.

Before today, she never thought that the person she likes would feel the same way towards her one day.

The moment Lin You kissed her in the movie theater, she was happy, even if it was only for a short moment, it made her heart blossom.

However, her joy was quickly swallowed by overwhelming worries.

If Lin You wasn't so serious, but just out of curiosity or for fun, maybe Gu Xi wouldn't be so scared.

However, the emotion and enthusiasm contained in Lin You's eyes are so serious that people want to indulge in it.

But, no, Gu Xi can't be so selfish.

She can't just care about her own happiness and ignore the feelings of the elders of the Lin family.

How sad would it be if Uncle Lin, Auntie Qin, or even Grandpa Lin knew that Lin You was influenced by her and went astray?

Gu Xi closed her eyes, took two deep breaths secretly, and after rehearsing the cruelest and sharpest words in her heart several times, she forced herself to say them.

"Thank you for your love, but I don't like you."

Quenching Lin You's enthusiasm, at the same time cutting off his own way back.

She withdrew her hand from Lin You's and stuffed it into her pocket.

Although there was still a peaceful smile on his face, his hands were trembling uncontrollably because of the bloody pain in his heart.

She didn't want Lin You to notice her emotions.

Hearing Gu Xi's words, the original expectation in Lin You's eyes was instantly frozen, and the smile slowly fell.

In those beautiful eyes that are always in high spirits, there is deep sadness and melancholy at this moment.

Gu Xi didn't dare to look at her anymore, and quickly walked forward to distance herself from Lin You.

Lin You looked at her lonely walking back, and soon, she became one with the snowstorm.

Back home, Lin You went straight back to the room and didn't come out for dinner at night.

Gu Xi forced himself to go back to the room after dinner with Mr. Lin and Qin Yi.

The bathtub was filled with hot water, and Gu Xi soaked in it, as if punishing herself, recalling over and over again how Lin You was hurt by her today, as if Ling Chi had cut her heart one knife after another.

She curled up uncomfortably, and slowly sank into the water.

What should she do?

What can be done to bring everything back to normal?

It wasn't until the water temperature became cold that Gu Xi came out of the bathtub, saw himself in the mirror with red and swollen eyes, and turned his gaze away with some disgust.

Now she lives in the Lin family and accepts the care and love of the Lin family. Whether it is Grandpa Lin, Qin Yi or Uncle Lin, they all treat her meticulously, without any perfunctory negligence.

She could feel that the Lin family really treated her as a family member.

The money she owes to the Lin family can be recorded in the account book, and the favor she owes to the Lin family can be kept in her heart.

But only Lin You...

If the unexpected kiss in the movie theater this afternoon was still three points of joy, at this moment Gu Xi only felt like a despicable thief.

She loathed herself terribly.

Gu Xi sat facing the window all night, feeling dazed.

It is imperative to apply for a dormitory after school starts. Maybe she stays far away from Lin You, and Lin You can return to her original position when she is confused because of her.

Speaking of it, Lin You's liking may just be an ignorant affection, because getting along day and night, because it's too close, it's too easy for emotions to arise.

After the distance is widened, the enthusiasm will naturally fade.

The only difficulty was how to explain to Grandpa Lin and Aunt Qin that they would definitely not agree to her going to live on campus.

At 06:30, Lin You came to memorize words with her as usual.

As if nothing happened.

The two sat side by side quietly, each with a headset, listening to the woman's mechanical reading.

If it wasn't for Lin You changing all kinds of reliance on her that she wanted to stick to in the past, and sitting upright at this moment, maybe Gu Xi would have thought that everything that happened yesterday was her hysteria.

The short half-hour word time was longer than usual, and every second made Gu Xi feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

But it seemed to be fleeting, and it was clearly suffering in the first second, but it was over suddenly in the next second.

There was a silent silence between the two of them.

Gu Xi didn't know how to treat Lin You, but Lin You, who was hurt by her just yesterday, took the first to take off the earphones.

"What test papers are you going to do today?"

Lin You tilted his head slightly, and looked at Gu Xi with a pair of clear eyes, black and white, and there was emotion in his eyes that made Gu Xi's heart skip a beat.

Gu Xi didn't react for a while, until Lin You asked again: "Aren't you going to do the questions today?"

Gu Xi immediately turned her head and went to get the test paper on the table.

In the upper left corner of the table, Gu Xi divided and stacked the test papers they were going to do according to the date. She picked up the top two stacks of test papers and handed Lin You a copy.

The following test papers are all completed by them this winter vacation.

Lin You wrote the question quietly, as if she was not affected at all.

On the contrary, Gu Xi was a little undecided.

She didn't know what Lin You was thinking now, did she figure it out in one night after she rejected her yesterday?

Or, in fact, Lin You didn't like her that much either, it's just that the young buds were so ignorant that she poured a basin of cold water on her and died.

Gu Xi couldn't help looking at Lin You from the corner of her eye, seeing that her eyes were a little black and blue, she probably didn't sleep well last night.

Gu Xi's eyes darkened a little.

My mind was not on the test paper, I wrote a paper for half an hour, and Gu Xi didn't finish writing the multiple choice questions.

After Lin You finished writing the last question, he glanced at the large blank area on Gu Xi's paper.

"Is the question difficult?"

Gu Xi came back to his senses suddenly and shook his head: "No."

Difficult to concentrate and start doing the questions.

Lin You nodded and said nothing.

The brief conversation between the two was quickly replaced by a new round of silence.

After that, I had breakfast, and returned to the room to continue writing questions after eating.

Lunch, dinner... over and over again.

After nightfall, Lin You finished writing the last test paper and glanced at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi, who always brushed up the questions very quickly, unexpectedly still had several papers to finish. This has never happened before.

Lin You picked up a paper that Gu Xi had finished to check. They had always been like this before, checking each other after finishing.

In the past, Lin You made a lot of mistakes, and Gu Xi's papers rarely had wrong questions.

Gu Xi stared at the tip of her pen and said, "Otherwise, go back to sleep first, don't wait for me."

Lin You looked up at her, and calmly said, "No hurry, it's still early before bedtime."

After finishing speaking, she laid the test paper flat, pointed to a few places and said, "I did everything wrong."

Gu Xi looked at it intently, and it was indeed a mistake, and it was an extremely low-level basic mistake.

The person doing the question knows where his mind has gone when he looks at it.

For a moment, Gu Xi's face became hot.

The appearance of being calm and breezy was exposed, making him look ridiculous and pitiful.

She curled up her fingers in bewilderment.

"I didn't pay attention."

She took the paper back and began to correct the wrong questions without saying a word.

Lin You looked at Gu Xi, who was clearly distracted, and after a while, suddenly asked:

"Gu Xi, do you really not like me at all?"

Snowflakes began to fall outside the window again, it was freezing and snowy, it should be very cold outside.

There is a floor lamp on the grass outside the room where Gu Xi lives. Under the dim but warm light, the trajectory of the snowflakes is extremely clear.

You can even hear the sound of snowflakes falling down, quiet and heavy.

Gu Xi sighed lightly.

She was in a delicate and difficult mood all day long, hoping that this matter could really be overturned, but at the same time worried that there would be more to this matter.

Now that Lin You asked again, Gu Xi felt strangely relieved.

What should come will always come.

She looked at Lin You, not sure if she could still be as calm as yesterday, and said those cruel words that could cut off the emotions that Lin You shouldn't have.

"Lin You, I'm sorry."

Lin You seemed to have expected that she would say this, smiled, and did not continue the topic, "You take your time, I will wait for you while reading."

After finishing speaking, she got up and went to the bookshelf to randomly pick out a book, and sat aside to read it.

Gu Xi turned around, bit the bullet and continued with the questions.

Lin You sat behind Gu Xi, holding a book in her hand, but didn't read a word, her eyes fell on Gu Xi's back.

His eyes were full of undisguised sadness.

At this moment, she hoped that Gu Xi could turn around and say something to her.

However, this night, Gu Xi never turned his head.

Immediately after the first week of school, enter the high-pressure placement test.

Because of Ruize's routine placement test at the beginning of each semester, students dare not be too lazy during the holidays.

Especially for senior high school students who are about to usher in the college entrance examination in June, the competition is even more silent.

During the short ten-day winter vacation, except for the group of international students who were determined to go abroad, no one in the rocket class or the sprint class was relaxed. Set of questions.

On the day of the exam, Lin You sat not far behind Gu Xi.

During these days, she and Gu Xi maintained a superficial balance, and never asked Gu Xi how he felt about her.

On the day when he failed to confess his love, Lin You was sad all night.

In addition to the pain of falling out of love, there are more embarrassments of self-love.

But when she couldn't sleep at night, Gu Xi's face and every detail of getting along with Gu Xi would appear before her eyes.

Lin You asked herself more than once, did she really think too much?Did Gu Xi really ever like her?

But why did Gu Xi not push her away when she kissed Gu Xi, but was easily controlled by her.

Why is he always caring and considerate to her?

Is it really just friendship?

Lin You has many questions, but she knows that even if she asks Gu Xi, she will not get the answer she wants to hear.

So in the past few days, she can only try her best to make herself look normal and not to embarrass Gu Xi.

Lin You was too distracted, one-third of the exam time had passed, and she hadn't started writing a single word on the paper.

The invigilator couldn't help reminding: "The time for the exam is limited, please focus on answering the questions."

After she finished speaking, she gave Lin You a meaningful look. This young ancestor of the Lin family had a criminal record and had a bad record of passing the exam. Last semester, he was so obedient. How could he be a little sick in the first exam in the second semester of the third year of high school? the meaning of.

If it was in the past, Lin You might really have done such naive behaviors as abandoning the stall and abandoning the exam because of a bad mood, but after staying with Gu Xi for a year, she was influenced by Gu Xi unconsciously and began to understand Prioritization, and not wasting your life and other people's time.

The most important thing is that Lin You doesn't want to see Gu Xi's disappointed eyes on her.

She twirled the pen in her hand and wrote the answer in a dispirited way.

After the exam, on the way home from school.

Li Ximing, who clearly felt the low pressure of Lin You and Gu Xi during this period, was a bit uncomfortable. In the obviously noisy carriage, their corner was like a cold hell, making people feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.

Li Ximing could only send Gu Xi a WeChat message.

【Did you argue with Lin You? 】

When Gu Xi's cell phone vibrated, she and Lin You immediately raised their hearts.

When Gu Xi took out his phone and saw Li Ximing's message on the screen, he put his heart back into his stomach at the same time.

Lin You glanced at Li Ximing, is there anything you can't say in front of her?Want to chat privately?

The words rolled around his mouth, but he didn't say it.

The relationship between her and Gu Xi is a bit like walking on thin ice, so it's better not to make any more troubles.

When Gu Xi saw Li Ximing's news, he pursed his lips lightly, typed a few words on the screen with his fingers and sent them.

[It's okay, don't worry. 】

Li Ximing didn't want to worry, but she was about to be overwhelmed by the atmosphere between Lin You and Gu Xi.

I just hope that any conflicts between the two of them will be resolved quickly and reconciled as soon as possible, otherwise, won't they have to go through a cold hell on the way to and from school in the future? !

When Li Ximing was still there, in the last corner of the bus, there would occasionally be a voice or two.

After she got out of the car, Lin You and Gu Xi didn't say a word again.

Lin You kept a distance of half a meter from Gu Xi until the bus stopped and the two of them got off the bus.

Cold alienation and embarrassment, these words and feelings keep appearing between her and Gu Xi these days.

Getting off the bus, Lin You saw the convenience store where she and Gu Xi used to eat oden, and stopped.

Gu Xi also stopped in her tracks.

Lin You remembered the first time she and Gu Xi ate oden here, the two of them were holding a bowl of hot oden, and you ate it happily.

In fact, she was neither hungry nor greedy at that time, but she was yearning for seeing the two girls coming out of the convenience store feeding each other.

It's just that she didn't know at that time that what she yearned for was not the bowl of oden that could be shared, but the intimacy that no one would disturb.

"Gu Xi."

Lin You's voice was a little soft, as if it could be blown away by the wind.

"Do you eat oden?"

Gu Xi also recalled the scene when she and Lin You ate oden together, the two of them had their heads together, a closeness that is hard to find nowadays.

In the schoolbag was the dormitory application form that the head teacher was coming to. Thinking that she and Lin You were about to separate, Gu Xi nodded softly for a moment.

Immediately, Lin You's eyes showed hope, and he smiled like a child, "Then I'll go buy it, you wait for me."

Lin You came out within ten minutes after entering, holding a bowl full of oden in his hand, which was twice as much as before.

It was obvious that she wanted to get closer to Gu Xi for a while.

Gu Xi was a little helpless, "Can you finish eating so much?"

Lin You also knew that he had bought a bit too much, so he could only say, "You can eat as much as you want, and I'll take the rest."

How could Gu Xi not know Lin You's food intake, and she didn't really let her eat so much food by herself.

The two sat side by side in front of the convenience store, neither of them said a word, they just plugged in the Kanto cooking silently and ate.

Their hearts are chaotic and complicated, but they all secretly cherish the rare peace and intimacy at this moment.

The author has something to say: hug my poor little You, touch my poor little Xi, my mother loves you so much!

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
