Still tide

There is an old desk lamp on the table in Miao Jiayan's room, with a small alarm clock on it, which is made of green plastic, and the second hand on it is "clicking" every second.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the alarm clock rang "Didi Didi".

Miao Jiayan closed her books and went downstairs wearing a vest and shorts.Grandma Miao and Grandpa Miao were watching TV in the room, when they heard him come down, they asked, "Go to Chen's house?"

"Ah, you go to bed, grandma, I'll open the door myself later!" Miao Jiayan changed her shoes at the door and closed the door gently.

The weather has been too hot recently, and her hair is draped over her shoulders, making her sweaty. Miao Jiayan has tied her hair up in the shower these few nights.He first went to the kitchen to find a small basin, and took it to the well.

In the well, Miao Jiayan washed and packed strawberries and persimmons in the evening, filling a small bag full.There is also a bend of watermelon, which is also kept cool through the bag.

Miao Jiayan feeds Chen Chaozhen fruits like this every night, the well water is much cooler than the refrigerator.Moreover, Chen Chao is too picky, he thinks the refrigerator smells bad, so he doesn't like to eat fruit out of the refrigerator.

Anyway, if someone chooses, someone will serve, and Miao Jiayan doesn't mind the trouble. She often puts a bag of fruit in the well to prepare before coming back from school for dinner.

Chen Chao walked into the alley with his schoolbag in his hand, and Miao Jiayan just came out with fruit, and when he saw Chen Chao far away, he whispered, "Brother Chao."

The small light beside the gate of the yard was still on, it was specially left by Grandpa Chen for Chen Chao every day, in case he would come back at night and it would be dark.Scattered mosquitoes and small flying insects surrounded the lamp, Chen Chao came over and took Miao Jiayan's elbow to let him in: "Don't stand here and feed the mosquitoes."

"I don't attract mosquitoes that much," Miao Jiayan said, "Normally others don't bite me."

"That other person is me." Chen Chao said expressionlessly.

"Haha," Miao Jiayan smiled, and said as he walked along, "I picked strawberries for you on the way back in the afternoon. The strawberries are sweet, but they are very small. I don't know why."

The strawberries grown at home have a different taste from the purchased ones, and they taste very solid and naturally sweet.Miao Jiayan had already picked the big one, but the biggest one was not as big as a watch dial.

Miao Jiayan likes summer very much, even though it is extremely hot.But summer is very beautiful, the fruits and vegetables in the garden will be harvested one after another, and you can wear skirts.

Chen Chao studied Miao Jiayan and sat on the edge of the bed with his face leaning on his face to watch him write. He suddenly pointed to Chen Chao's hand holding the pen and said, "When you write, this joint is so high."

Chen Chao didn't stop working on the question, but just replied indifferently: "Everyone writes like this."

"Others are not so tall." Miao Jiayan tapped her index finger on the knuckle below Chen Chao's middle finger, then tapped the tendons on the back of her hand, and said, "Your ones are different from others."

Chen Chao glanced at his hand, Miao Jiayan's hand was white, even though it would be darker in summer than in winter, the contrast with his tanned hand was obvious, Miao Jiayan's finger looked so white on his hand shine.

Chen Chao said: "Take it away, it will make me look darker."

Miao Jiayan withdrew her hand with a smile and said, "I'm already tanned."

Chen Chao circled the result he had just solved on the straw paper, went back to check the question for confirmation, and said, "Show off."

It can be seen that Miao Jiayan is in a good mood, in fact he is quite a kid who loves to laugh, as long as no one deliberately provokes him, he can usually laugh and he doesn't like to get angry.

So as long as he stops talking and starts to be in a daze, it means that he is in a bad mood, either someone said something ugly, or he is just pretending to be serious.

Chen Chao discovered something was wrong with Miao Jiayan after a few days.

There are few words, and there is no laughter after a few words.

At first, Chen Chao thought that he was pondering about the mess again, so he asked Miao Jiayan a few questions, and Chen Chao didn't ask any more.Miao Jiayan is not a child who likes to get into the wrong things, he can usually smooth himself out, he doesn't like to talk about Chen Chao and doesn't ask in depth.

In the morning, Miao Jiayan was standing at the door waiting for him. When Chen Chao opened the door and came out, he saw Miao Jiayan squatting at the base of the wall in a daze. Chen Chao patted him on the head and said, "Let's go."

Miao Jiayan regained consciousness and stood up.

"Did you wake up?" Chen Chao asked.

Miao Jiayan didn't care too much when she answered, "Yes".

Chen Chao glanced at him, but Miao Jiayan didn't notice.He didn't want to talk and Chen Chao didn't talk to him anymore, the two of them went to school in silence.

Miao Jiayan's absent-minded state lasted for several days, and even Chen Chao didn't come here at night.

Chen Chao ran into him in physical education class during the day, and the two almost collided face to face. Miao Jiayan didn't recognize him in a daze.Ding Wentao was hugging a basketball next to Chen Chao, saw Miao Jiayan, and said, "Your little wife."

"Miao Jiayan." Chen Chao called out.

Miao Jiayan raised her head in a daze, saw Chen Chao, and hurriedly called, "Brother Chao."

"What's the matter with you?" Chen Chao asked.

Miao Jiayan shook her head and whispered, "I didn't see it."

"Wait for me tonight." Chen Chao said.

Miao Jiayan asked, "Where are you waiting?"

"Where else?" Chen Chao looked at him inexplicably, "What's wrong with you?"

Miao Jiayan looked a bit at a loss, didn't speak, just nodded.

Chen Chao's original intention was to let Miao Jiayan wait for him at home as usual, but at the end of evening self-study get out of class, Chen Chao saw Miao Jiayan at the school gate.

He sat alone on the bottom floor of the flower bed shelf at the school gate, and he looked like he was squatting there from a distance, like a lonely child or a puppy.

Waiting from school to now, this is outrageous.What was going on in his head, Chen Chao was a little angry, but also a little dumbfounded.

Ding Wentao was also surprised to see Miao Jiayan, and said to Chen Chao, "Why are you waiting here?"

Hearing that the third year of junior high school was over, Miao Jiayan turned her head to look towards the teaching building, just in time to see Chen Chao coming out, and the two met their eyes.

Chen Chao stared at him fiercely, Miao Jiayan was a little guilty, but also felt at ease.

"I asked you to wait for me here?" Chen Chao asked.

Miao Jiayan had already stood up, her eyes drooping in vain, her eyelashes covering her eyes under the light.

"Why did your brain suddenly become stupid?" Chen Chao frowned, "Let's go."

Miao Jiayan didn't explain anything, and walked close to Chen Chao all the way.Chen Chao was squeezed by him and had to move a little to the side from time to time, but Miao Jiayan still stuck tightly.

As someone passed by, Miao Jiayan suddenly ran to the other side of Chen Chao, walking between Chen Chao and Ding Wentao.

When the three of them walked, Chen Chao always walked in the middle. Ding Wentao and Miao Jiayan were not next to each other. Miao Jiayan suddenly squeezed in. Ding Wentao was puzzled and looked down at him several times.

"What are you doing with me?" Ding Wentao asked, "What are you doing?"

Miao Jiayan didn't reply, but kept pressing Chen Chao's arm.Chen Chao is not stupid, he is very smart, he has a guess about Miao Jiayan's abnormality in his mind.

The three of them were very close and crowded, Chen Chao took two steps out, Miao Jiayan immediately followed, her arm was pressed against Chen Chao's.

"Are you afraid?" Chen Chao asked suddenly.

There was an inconspicuous lag in Miao Jiayan's movements, he would not lie, he would always ask what he said, and he would not say what he didn't want to say, but he would not lie.

Chen Chao knew it in his heart, and asked him: "Is someone looking for trouble for you?"

Miao Jiayan looked up at him, her eyes were clearly showing weakness, but she didn't want to say anything.

Chen Chao originally wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't speak, and let Miao Jiayan walk between him and Ding Wentao, crossing the country road with cotton fields on both sides.

Ding Wentao arrived home before them, and after an intersection, Ding Wentao turned around, and now there are only the two of them left.

There was no one on the other side of Miao Jiayan, he unconsciously got closer to Chen Chao.

"Miao'er." Chen Chao said.

Miao Jiayan seemed a little nervous, and Chen Chao's sudden opening made him jump: "... hey."

"Tell me something." Chen Chao put his hand on Miao Jiayan's shoulder and walked around him, "Who is bothering you?"

Miao Jiayan was silent for a few seconds, then whispered, "I don't know you."

"Don't know?" Chen Chao asked again, "From the school?"

Miao Jiayan thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be..."

"What happened to you?" Chen Chao asked.

Miao Jiayan didn't answer this question, she refused to say anything.

Miao Jiayan was deliberately waiting for Chen Chao at school today. He even went to the telephone booth to call his grandma after school, saying that he would go back with Chen Chao today, so she should not worry.

For a week after that, he waited for Chen Chaowan to finish his self-study at school every day, and went back with him.

Ding Wentao saw Miao Jiayan after school at night, and asked Chen Chao in a low voice, "What's wrong with him?"

Chen Chao only said, "It's boring to go home."

"This..." Ding Wentao was a little speechless for a while, "It's also because of sticky people."

Chen Chao made a sound, Miao Jiayan raised her head, and walked over in silence.

"Let's go." Chen Chao said.

When the three of them walked together, the road to school was not that long.

"I'm so sleepy, I just fell asleep during my evening self-study." Ding Wentao yawned and said.

Chen Chao wanted to yawn when he hooked him, and said, "You snored for half an hour."

There is a motorcycle parked on the side of the road ahead, and many people in the village rely on motorcycles for transportation.There was a person sitting next to the motorcycle. If it wasn't for the red light of the cigarette butt that went on and off, I wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Miao Jiayan suddenly pressed close to Chen Chao nervously, clutching Chen Chao's wrist with sweaty palms.

Chen Chao yawned halfway, but was interrupted by Miao Jiayan's movements.Miao Jiayan was too nervous, Chen Chao squinted and looked towards the motorcycle.

Miao Jiayan gripped Chen Chao's wrists a little, and Ding Wentao next to him didn't know what to say there, but Chen Chao suddenly said, "Who parked a motorcycle here so late."

Ding Wentao glanced at him, wondering how he got here, and said confusedly: "Ah, I don't know."

"Scared me." Chen Chao said.

When he was talking, Miao Jiayan held him tightly, and Chen Chao shook his wrist soothingly and said, "There's something wrong, you're just squatting here and pretending to be a ghost."

Ding Wentao was really taken aback, and asked him: "What's the matter..."

The man beside the motorcycle didn't say anything or move, but just lit another cigarette.

Miao Jiayan's hair rubbed against Chen Chao's arm, and Chen Chao brushed his hair casually with his free left hand. Miao Jiayan's whole body showed an unnaturally stiff state.

Chen Chao put his arms around his shoulders, nodded his head, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and said indifferently as he walked: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
