my kind of person

Two days after her birthday, Xu Xiaona suddenly contacted Xiao Yi.Her birthday was two days away from Xiao Yi's, so she specially sent him a WeChat message, saying that inviting him to dinner on his birthday was a thank you to Cao Wenjiang.

Xiao Yi: No, thank you, I just finished my birthday

Seo Hyona: Is your birthday also recent?

Xiao Yi: Just the day before yesterday

Xu Xiaona: If you don’t say anything, I should show it

Xiao Yi: It’s okay, just live it simply

Xu Xiaona: Then you come here, I know you are busy, so I eat near your school

Xiao Yi: Forget it, you invite your friends, I don’t know them

Xu Xiaona: I don’t invite anyone else, just you and Xie Zixin

Xiao Yi: Is he coming?

Seo Hyona: Come on, he agreed

Xiao Yi: Tonight?

Xu Xiaona: Weiwang Barbecue at No. 18 Sipan Road, Xie Zixin and I are waiting for you there

Xiao Yi hesitated all afternoon, but finally went.On the way to the restaurant, he passed by a boutique, and he went in to choose a simple gift. After all, it was Xu Xiaona's birthday, so he couldn't go there empty-handed.

He came to the barbecue restaurant Xu Xiaona mentioned, and as soon as he entered the store, he saw Xu Xiaona and Xie Zixin sitting face to face in a booth.

Said it was waiting for him, the grill plate between the two of them was actually roasted with meat.Xu Xiaona wore a striped short-sleeved and denim skirt, and changed into a pair of glittery candy-colored manicures. Her face swept away the haze of the previous period, and she was talking to Xie Zixin relaxedly.

Seeing Xu Xiaona's recovery, Xiao Yi also felt a little relieved. Indeed, those bad things shouldn't affect her happy birthday.

Xie Zixin sat quietly opposite her, gently flipping the meat on the grill with iron tongs.

Xu Xiaona saw Xiao Yi first, and waved to him. Xie Zixin also turned her head. When she saw him, her gaze flickered for a moment, and then quickly retracted.

Xiao Yi sat next to Xie Zixin.

Xiao Yi handed the gift bought on the way to Xu Xiaona, Xu Xiaona took it with a little surprise: "I didn't expect that I still have a gift."

The gift was in a gift bag, and Xu Xiaona opened it to see that there was a Nordic-style ornament inside, probably Xiao Yi bought it from a boutique on the side of the road.

Xu Xiaona: "Well, it's very unique, thank you. This meat is almost ready to eat, let's eat."

In the middle of the meal, Xu Xiaona brought up Cao Wenjiang's matter. The case is now going through legal procedures. In order to get evidence and convict Cao Wenjiang's previous intentional injury as soon as possible, Xie Zixin also made several trips to the police station to take notes.

Because the evidence is sufficient, and Xu Xiaona's family has some connections, the process goes faster than ordinary cases.

Xu Xiaona was very happy, she invited Xie Zixin and Xiao Yi out for dinner today to tell them about it.

Xie Zixin listened in silence the whole time. He didn't eat too much meat on the grill, but just ate a bowl of mashed potatoes and vegetable salad with black pepper sauce in front of him.

Xiao Yi wouldn't be too polite, anyway, he was familiar with Xu Xiaona, so he ate what he needed.There were two cubes of beef cubes in the baking tray after eating, Xu Xiaona was about to put the mutton rolls in the grilling tray, Xiao Yi simply used the tongs to put the remaining two cubes of beef cubes into Xie Zixin's bowl.

Xie Zixin didn't say anything, and silently ate the meat in the bowl.

Xu Xiaona raised her eyes and looked at them quietly, looking back and forth between Xie Zixin and Xiao Yi, and finally said: "Are you arguing?"

Xiao Yi almost choked on the mushroom in his throat, but Xie Zixin shook his head first, saying no.

Seeing that Xie Zixin didn't want to say a word, Xiao Yi inexplicably called out, and sighed: "Of course it's not noisy. He talks so little, can he start arguing?"

Xu Xiaona: "That's true. Our school bullies usually fight directly and don't quarrel with others. But when Cao Wenjiang enters, no one will dare to challenge Xie Zixin."

Xie Zixin looked up at Xu Xiaona, obviously slightly displeased.

Xu Xiaona looked at Xie Zixin, and sighed with pretended regret: "But when you transfer to another school, the bullies of our school will probably never find someone with your looks."

Xiao Yi: "Do you know about his preparation for the exam?"

"I only found out a few days ago, no wonder I saw Xie Zixin reading a tutorial book." Xu Xiaona replied, "It happens that I have a cousin who plans to apply for Ancai in the high school entrance examination. I can be your classmate with Xie Zixin."

Xiao Yi turned his head to look at Xie Zixin, and asked, "Have you encountered any problems in your review recently?"

Xie Zixin shook his head, but still didn't say a word.

After eating a meal, Xiao Yi couldn't hear Xie Zixin say a word, nodding and shaking his head seemed to solve all his problems, but when he first came, he saw Xu Xiaona talking to him so happily, it couldn't be Xu Xiaona talking single-mouthed Cross talk?Is it true that he stopped talking once he came?

This possibility made Xiao Yi's heart filled with irritability. He admitted that what he said that day was indeed a bit serious, but in the end it was all for Xie Zixin's consideration...or he should find a suitable opportunity to talk to him calmly again.

Because Xiao Yi had evening self-study, the three of them ate very quickly. After Xu Xiaona settled the bill, she said that her family would pick her up later, and asked Xie Zixin and Xiao Yi to go back first.The three said goodbye at the entrance of the barbecue shop. Xie Zixin was going to take the bus, and Xiao Yi went back to school on the way, so they went to the bus stop with him.

Without Xu Xiaona talking, and being alone, the atmosphere between the two became even more deserted.

As soon as he arrived at the bus station, the bus that Xie Zixin was going to take arrived. He turned on his phone to prepare for the bus code. Xiao Yi stood behind him and happened to see his phone's lock screen, which was the system when he gave it to him. Default wallpaper, not him anymore.

Xie Zixin may be too lazy to change, or he may not want to change.

Xiao Yi's heart darkened, and his expression became more faintly disappointed.

The bus stopped slowly in front of the two of them, the door opened, Xie Zixin stepped into the bus, Xiao Yi said: "I'll see you another day, you can come to me if you have any questions about the review."

Xie Zixin finally said his first word of the day to Xiao Yi: "Okay."

But with this one word, Xiao Yi noticed something strange. He noticed that Xie Zixin's voice was very hoarse, as if his throat was covered with a layer of gravel.

Xiao Yi's heart moved, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Xie Zixin's wrist. Xie Zixin didn't expect Xiao Yi to pull him, and was directly dragged down the steps by Xiao Yi.

Xie Zixin turned his head and stared at Xiao Yi in surprise, Xiao Yi also stared at him with a frown, with a look of scrutiny.

The bus driver in the car behind shouted, "Can't you get on yet?"

Xiao Yi turned his head and answered for Xie Zixin: "Sorry, I won't go up yet."

The bus closed its doors and drove away slowly.

There are many buses on this route, every five to six minutes, Xie Zixin is not in a hurry to go back, he is just surprised, and does not know what Xiao Yi is going to do with him.

Xiao Yi frowned and said, "What's wrong with your voice? Why is it so hoarse?"

Xie Zixin didn't expect Xiao Yi to be concerned about this matter, his eyes flickered, and he replied, "I have a cold."

"Are you so dumb or just a little bit?"

Xiao Yi pulled him aside, so as not to block other passengers who wanted to get on and off the bus.He felt a little annoyed, no wonder Xie Zixin didn't speak much and didn't eat much barbecue just now, his throat was uncomfortable and he wanted to eat less of these things, but he didn't know, so he picked up two big pieces.

Xiao Yi: "Why didn't you tell Xu Xiaona to ask her to eat elsewhere? Did you take the medicine?"

Xie Zixin: "I've eaten."

Xiao Yi was still not at ease, and said again: "It's best to go to the pharmacy for consultation. It's better to prescribe the right medicine. Ordinary cold medicines may not be useful if you take them carelessly. If it doesn't work, you'll have to go to the hospital. Don't hold back. Don't review too much..."

Xiao Yi originally wanted to persuade Xie Zixin not to be too tired after studying, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't continue.

The day before yesterday, Xie Zixin was the one who asked Xie Zixin to concentrate on reviewing and read two more pages of the book, and not to do superfluous things. Now he is the one who wants him to combine work and rest to review and not to work too hard. Hit loud.

Xiao Yi: "...don't be too tired."

"En." Xie Zixin paused, "Is there anything else?"

Xiao Yi has been looking for an opportunity to explain clearly to Xie Zixin what he is holding back in his heart. Now is obviously not a suitable time, let alone a suitable occasion, but what happened one after another makes it impossible for him to simply hide these words in his heart. heart.

"...Xie Zixin, what I said last time, I didn't want to hurt you, nor did I mind that you helped me make soup and wash my clothes. I am very grateful for you doing this." Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, "I just hope you focus on yourself , whether it is hard work or rest, focus on yourself, don't focus on me, because I really... have nothing to repay you."

When staying with Xie Zixin, silence is the most common, but at this moment the silence is particularly tight, like putting the two of them on the sharp edge of a knife.

It took a long time for Xie Zixin's voice to break the spreading silence.

"I know." Xie Zixin replied quietly, "You don't have to repay me anything, I can keep a distance from you, but I can't stop liking you."

Xiao Yi was slightly stunned, he suddenly realized that Xie Zixin might like him more than he imagined.

This realization caused an inexplicable emotion to surge in Xiao Yi's heart. In his bulging chest, his beating heart had a different rhythm from the past.

From the moment he learned of Xie Zixin's feelings, Xiao Yi was full of thoughts on how to reject him or make him give up, and never thought of exploring the reason, but at this moment, Xiao Yi suddenly began to wonder, When exactly was that seed planted in Xie Zixin's heart, he had no relationship with him before, why did that seed take root so deeply that it became the towering tree that it is today, covering his heart.

Xiao Yi: "Why do you like me?"

Xie Zixin didn't answer. He looked at the noisy street, his eyes became like clouds, and he looked at an extremely distant place, and his voice was very quiet.

"If it wasn't for you," Xie Zixin said, "I wouldn't stay here anymore."

Xiao Yi: "Then where are you going?"

Xie Zixin was silent for a while, and replied, "Go to my mother."

Xiao Yi was stunned for a long time. At that moment, he didn't even know if his heart was still beating.

I don't know how long it has passed, the bus stopped in front of them again, Xie Zixin got on the bus, looked back at Xiao Yi, and showed him a very faint smile, those reluctance and complicated nostalgia intertwined into a sparkle in his eyes shimmering.

That was the first time Xiao Yi saw Xie Zixin smiling at him, and it was not until the bus drove away that Xiao Yi suddenly came back to his senses.

At that moment, he was almost sure that Xie Zixin's smile just now would definitely stay in his heart for a long, long time.
