There was a light rain in the sky, and the damp moisture hit the face. In the corridor, there were students in twos and threes who came downstairs with their bags on their backs, and they looked sideways.
There was a bright smile on the corner of Kong Nianxi's lips, and he walked side by side with Xi Ning, which really attracted the attention - the two people's temperaments are too outstanding, one is cold and the other is gorgeous, but standing together they are strangely harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
Going down to the first floor, Xi Ning opened the umbrella, Kong Nianxi consciously raised his heels up, stood next to her under the umbrella, and took her arm smoothly.
The newly bought automatic folding umbrella is a bit heavy in the hand, the frame is big and strong, and it is more than enough to cover two people. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the hand tightly wrapped around her arm, and Xi Ning looked away without saying anything. go.
The fine raindrops fell on the umbrella surface and made a "bang bang" sound. The trail leading to the school gate was full of students leaving the school with umbrellas, wandering in the colorful "ocean", and the sturdy folding umbrella held up a piece of A space for two people.
Xi Ning kept silent, only staring at the black umbrella in front of her, and walked forward.It was raining and the traffic was congested, and it became crowded when approaching the school gate. The crowd had to stop and move forward like snails bit by bit.
After a while, Kong Nianxi became a little impatient, leaned to the side, put his chin on Xi Ning's shoulder, and muttered boredly: "It's so slow..."
After finishing speaking, she rubbed her chin on her shoulder, turned her face away, and began to study Xi Ningying's delicate auricles: "I just realized that your ears look good too."
The hot breath swept over the sensitive earlobe, making my heart tickle.
Almost subconsciously, Xi Ning's shoulders shook, and Kong Nianxi's jaw slid down.
"What are you doing?" Kong Nianxi couldn't hold back his laughter, raised his head and lightly tapped her shoulder.
Just when the crowd in front moved, Xi Ning raised her leg to keep up: "I'm going out right away."
The comforting way of answering irrelevant questions was inexplicably a little shy.
Kong Nianxi stared sideways at her and bent her lips, and didn't continue to dwell on this, but the interest in his eyes grew stronger.
"Let me hold the umbrella instead."
The arm next to her was raised, but Xi Ning's hand holding the umbrella did not move: "It's okay, this distance is not far."
Kong Nianxi: "Then, can you use the other hand for support?"
The sweet voice next to her ear was half coquettish. Xi Ning didn't know what she wanted to do again, and this request was obviously a bit inexplicable, so she paused for several seconds without moving.
Kong Nianxi bit her lips slightly: "Please~"
"..."
Xi Ning's ears warmed up, and she turned her head away.She found that the other party was less and less "outsider" in front of her, although...but she really couldn't refuse Kong Nianxi's showing weakness or acting like a baby.
She slowly passed the umbrella to the other hand, stretched out her right hand, and held the umbrella between the two of them.
But after the replacement, Xi Ning regretted it a little.
The two walked side by side, and as soon as she put down her left hand, Kong Nianxi's back was pressed against hers, and the cool fingertips inserted into the gap between her fingers, interlocking with hers.
"..."
Even if Xi Ning went to the bathroom hand in hand with her companions, it was a matter of elementary school years ago, not to mention the intimate and ambiguous gesture of interlocking fingers, it was the first time with others.A strange and strange feeling came over her, and she retracted her hand evasively, but was held tightly.
"Don't move, I just want to verify." Kong Nianxi looked at her and said.
Xi Ning frowned slightly: "Verify what?"
She still moved her fingers a little unnaturally, but the palm of her hand was pressed against the opponent's, and the delicate and warm touch aroused a strange feeling in her heart, and she stopped immediately.
Kong Nianxi smiled, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Verify whether you have feelings for me."
"..."
Suddenly a little nervous, Xi Ning raised her eyes and looked around.
At this moment, they just walked to the gate, and there were crowds of people in the front, back, left, and right, and the edge of the umbrella was also hooked with the umbrella next to it. It was not a suitable place for conversation.
Fortunately, Kong Nianxi didn't say anything else, just took advantage of Xi Ning's "compromise", and tightly clasped her hand, first interlocking his fingers, then gently loosening them, and spreading his five fingers tightly against Xi Ning's. than size.Probably because of being taller, Xi Ning's fingers are longer.
Holding an umbrella in one hand, and "playing" with the other hand, Xi Ning felt a little disturbed, especially when Kong Nianxi seemed to be scratching back and forth in her palm, the itchy feeling made her unable to hold back her fingers, But this didn't interrupt the interest of the other party, the cold touch covered the fingertips, pressed it lightly, hooked it again, and finally turned over her hand, and rubbed it on the faint black mole near the tiger's mouth...
Finally squeezed out from the dark crowd at the school gate, walked to the sidewalk next to her, Xi Ning quickly withdrew her hand, the abnormally hot palm seemed to smudge the tips of her ears.
With his hands empty, Kong Nianxi felt a little disappointed.
Xi Ning's hand is very beautiful, with slender fingers and soft touch, the palm is slightly bigger than hers, if it is wrapped in the palm like this, it must be gentle and safe...
This kind of thought came up involuntarily, and a sense of shame was fleeting. Kong Nianxi recovered his expression calmly, and brushed his long hair by his ear.
"Okay, I've come to a conclusion~"
Xi Ning looked over in surprise.
Kong Nianxi curled his lips, and his voice contained some grievances: "Why are you looking at me like this? I've wiped everything away and confessed to you nakedly. I'm not in a hurry to ask you for an answer. Find some sweet comfort for yourself. Can't you?"
Xi Ning: "..."
Two or three months ago, although she thought the other party was a troublesome girl, in her eyes, Kong Nianxi was also a luminous body surrounded by the crowd, with a glamorous appearance and chased by everyone.
She suddenly felt that she, who was obsessed with the word "like", might not be worthy of the other party's like.
Xi Ning opened her lips, and a sour feeling mixed with guilt climbed up her heart: "I'm sorry, I—"
Kong Nianxi suddenly covered her mouth with his hand: "I won't listen~"
"..."
She blinked, withdrew her hand and narrowed her eyes and said, "With your expression, don't you want to say something that makes me feel cold?"
"Boom bang."
The big raindrops gathered on the leaves hit the top of the umbrella and made a sound.
Xi Ning's tall figure is holding the umbrella quietly, her slender fingers are slightly curved, holding the handle of the umbrella, her narrow and beautiful eyes are still bright in the dim shadow under the umbrella, her expression is cold, but there is a little more in her eyes Soft: "I just hope you give me a little more time."
Kong Nianxi smiled lightly: "I guessed it, I really know you very well."
learn?
Xi Ning pondered her words, her eyes slightly startled.
Kong Nianxi glanced over her face, thought of something, and lowered the corners of his lips: "However, it may not be completely understood."
For example, not understanding what happened to you in the past.
The section of the road in front of the school was already blocked by vehicles coming to pick up the students. Keep walking, and at the first intersection, Xi Ning turned her head and asked, "Is anyone coming to pick you up?"
Hearing this, Kong Nianxi twitched the corner of her lower lip casually: "Who will pick me up, I'll go back to the apartment by myself."
Xi Ning remembered her apartment near the school, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Are you alone?"
Kong Nianxi looked up at her for a few seconds, and smiled sweetly: "Do you want to come to my house to accompany me?"
Xi Ning: "..."
At this time, on the side of the road on the right side of the intersection, a black car parked in front of the iron fence at the side gate of the school poked a head out, shouting: "Xi Ning, this way!"
When Xi Ning heard the sound and turned her head to look, she saw Xi Mu poking out a shoulder from the car window and waving at her vigorously.
"..."
Realizing something, she suddenly turned around, and Kong Nianxi had indeed noticed Xi Mu who was not far away, she frowned slightly, paused for two seconds, raised the corners of her eyes, and smiled half-smile: "Oh, he, I almost forgot you This childhood sweetheart neighbor, so you guys still come home from school together?"
"..."
Xi Ning was in a very complicated mood at the moment, even a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to explain it to her.
"Actually, he's not..."
"Oh, he's not, what's that?" Kong Nianxi raised her eyebrows, in fact, when she thought about the previous incident, she was more embarrassed than Xi Ning.
"Since people have come to pick you up, I can walk back alone for the rest of the way."
After finishing speaking, she turned her head and took out a small umbrella from her bag, stepped onto the zebra crossing, and walked in the opposite direction without looking back.
"Wait." Xi Ning subconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes.
Kong Nianxi stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "Why, is there anything else?"
"..." Xi Ning looked at her expression: "Don't be angry."
"I'm not angry. Why am I angry?" Kong Nianxi stared at her, then curled his lower lip again: "You are so reluctant, don't you want to go home with me?"
Xi Ning paused, then stopped: "I have something to go back this week."
Kong Nianxi opened his mouth to say something, glanced at the car behind him, then closed it again, and said with a sneer, "See you next week then."
"..."
Seeing her walk safely to the other side of the road, Xi Ning looked away.
After closing the car door, Xi Mu leaned over curiously and asked, "Who was that just now? I couldn't see clearly under the umbrella, so why are you talking about it?"
Xi Ning fastened her seat belt and gave him a cold look: "Is it related to you?"
Xi Mu was startled by the icicles in his eyes, and said, "Have you taken gunpowder lately? Why do you always hate me? I just don't ask."
Xi Ning just felt a little annoyed, ignored him, and turned to look out the car window.
It was the driver who came to pick them up. The car drove quickly on the road and soon arrived at the door of the house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a well-dressed Ms. Xu greeted: "I'm finally back, hurry up and change into clothes that can be seen, we are leaving."
Xi Mu threw his schoolbag on the sofa, and asked suspiciously, "Where are you going, are you in such a hurry?"
Ms. Xu: "My old classmate's daughter has a birthday party tonight, don't worry about it, go change your clothes quickly, don't be too coquettish, show me some seriousness."
"Yes, yes, Miss Xu." Xi Mu nodded and walked to his room.
Xi Ning also went upstairs silently, but was stopped by Ms. Xu: "By the way, Ning Ning, my old classmate is your Aunt Meng, and her daughter is Qiu Ying. I remember you were classmates in junior high school, and you have a good relationship, right?" ?”
Hearing this distant name, Xi Ning suddenly stopped.
Ms. Xu continued to mutter: "But did you get the same status because you didn't go to a school in high school? You were very close before... Sigh, Ningning, you should make more friends."
Xi Ning turned her head: "Can I not go?"
Ms. Xu was a little surprised. Xi Ning has always been a very obedient child. No matter what requests they made, she rarely refuted them. Besides, she was only going to a birthday party this time. She couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, why don't you want to go, baby? You are not friends ?"
"And Qiu Ying specifically told me that she wanted you to go."
"..."
Xi Ning didn't speak.She has been a good girl since she was a child, the image of a well-learned and obedient child of other people's family. She has become accustomed to this role, and since she was a child, she didn't like to share her emotions, even with close relatives. In the school, she grew up smoothly, except for the incident that alarmed the school and called the parents in the third year of junior high school, but Xi Ning also behaved normally afterwards, and they gradually forgot about that incident.
Ms. Xu took off her schoolbag from her shoulder, sighed and said, "Baby, you are good in everything, but your personality is too boring, and you don't want to share anything with us. You really inherited your father's temperament. Can you be like Xi Mu? A combination of fools will be perfect, alas."
The old man Xi came out with his tie on, just when he heard this, he was happy: "It means that my genes are strong, see that Ningning just followed my smart head, just talk less, and it will be fine when she grows up."
"But why do I feel that the longer I grow, the more I look like you, and the more bored I am, especially when I have something to worry about."
"..."
When the two of them started arguing, no one else had anything to do, Xi Ning stood for a while, then quietly went upstairs.
Since the other party clearly mentioned her, it is not easy to shirk.
Xi Ning sat on her bed in a daze.
A corner of the dusty past emerged, and she felt in a trance that those hazes that she thought she had forgotten had been affecting her until today.
At night, the lights are on.
Xi Ning stared at her feet expressionlessly. In front of her, Ms. Xu was greeting a woman with exquisite makeup.
"Has Ning Ning already grown this tall?"
"Yeah, time flies so fast, Sakura is gone."
"..."
Some sterile dialogue.Xi Ning kept her head down, because there was a young girl standing behind the woman.
Following to meet people was out of politeness, soon Xi Ning found an excuse and withdrew to her seat.
Xi Mu brought her a glass of juice: "Hey, why don't you sneak away now, don't come if you don't want to come, isn't it just a birthday party, you two have such an embarrassing conflict, I wouldn't come. "
Xi Mu was from the same school in junior high school before, so Xi Mu naturally knew about her third year of junior high school, but it’s been a while, and his carefree temperament can’t completely empathize with girls. I just vaguely remember that there was a special trash at that time. Because the confession was rejected, he deliberately approached Xi Ning in the name of a friend, and took advantage of Xi Ning's indiscriminate trust in his friend to distort the facts and spread very nasty rumors outside, and when Xi Ning confronted him face to face At that time, the boy became emotional and suddenly went crazy, and jumped directly from the second floor of the classroom. In the end, because the floor was not high, he was only slightly injured. .
As for Qiu Ying, she was Xi Ning's best friend in junior high school, but the friendship has unilaterally and quietly deteriorated. Xi Mu didn't know what happened between them. , but what Qiu Ying said at the time was terrible, and Xi Ning must have been hit hard by hearing the accent and believing the words of that trash boy, otherwise she wouldn't have lost contact with all her classmates in junior high school.
Thinking of this, Xi Mu still feels sorry for his sister. This kind of thing happened at a young age, so it is impossible that there is no shadow. Although Ms. Xu sought counseling from a psychiatrist afterwards, Xi Mu believed that she was still greatly affected.So he also understands why Xi Ning became like this. If it were him, he probably wouldn't believe that there is still love in this world, the love of love.
Xi Ning took the glass from him with a calm expression: "It's all in the past."
Xi Mu's eyes widened: "You really think so?"
Xi Ning took a sip of the juice, and was really in no mood to tell him these things: "If you have free time, go out and blow some air."
Seeing that he was disgusted again, Xi Mu sniffed and got up: "Okay, I'll just get out of here."
"..."
After the person walked away, Xi Ning casually put the glass on the side of the dining table, lowered her eyelashes, and there was another layer of dim haze in her eyes.
Sitting alone for a while, the phone in my pocket vibrated, and Ms. Xu sent a message.
[Ms. Xu: Baby, add me as a friend~]
Pushed a WeChat account from behind.
Xi Ning stared at the phone, she rarely took the initiative to add the contact information of strangers, and now there are only a handful of numbers lying in the friend list.
After hesitating for a long time, she clicked the send button, and the other party agreed to the friend request almost instantly.
[xxx: Xi Ning, I'm Qiu Ying. 】
The message that popped up on the screen made Xi Ning's fingers stiff, as if she was afraid that she would be blocked, and the second message was sent at the same time, which was a long paragraph.
[xxx: Thank you for coming to my birthday party, I thought you wouldn't come.I understand that you don't want to see me again, so forgive me for taking the initiative to get your contact information in this way, because I should apologize to you for the selfish and hurtful things I said before.I'm sorry, but I should have always been the one to feel guilty and sorry for this, but I shamelessly tried to push the blame on you.I am not worthy, but I still think that I understand you, so I want to make up for the burden I caused on you as much as possible, because I have let go, and I hope you will not be affected any more.Finally, thank you for letting me know how wonderful it is to like girls, at a beautiful age. 】
"..."
Xi Ning stared at the phone, her slender fingers tensed, and her downcast eyes showed no emotion, like a frozen picture, sitting quietly on a chair, with a gloomy atmosphere all over her body.
It took a long time before her lips curved slightly, and she sneered coldly.
Before jumping headfirst from the back window, he said grimly: "You forced me to die, you ruined me, you will never get over it!"
Before the last quarrel, she pointed at her and said: "I became a pervert because of you, you killed me, you never deserve to be liked."
Now they themselves let it go lightly, saying I'm sorry, can they eliminate the harm done to others by what they have done and said?
He is obviously the person she trusts the most, but he can turn around and stab her with a knife without any burden.
As if back to that summer, no matter where I went, I was pointed at the back from a distance, isolated, commented, and looked at strangely.
It's been a long time, but the feeling of grievance and anger is so clear.
She lowered her head and stared at her feet, her vision gradually began to blur, and sourness spilled out of the corners of her eyes.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, no matter how calm she can be, how calm she can be, how restrained she can be.
For a while, the word liking was regarded by her as a snake and a scorpion, like a magic box full of dark sides, and she didn't know what would emerge from it once it was opened.
There were simply people coming and going around, and no one noticed this empty corner.
Wipe off the water marks with your fingertips, it seems that the haze that has been suppressed at the bottom for many years has also been evaporated and wiped away.The vision became clear again, Xi Ning took a deep breath, and her chest felt much lighter.
Since they don't care anymore, why punish themselves.
The cell phone in her palm vibrated again, and Xi Ning paused for a long time before looking down, the reddish corners of her eyes froze for a moment, then the gloom dissipated, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
[Kong Nianxi: Have you had dinner yet?I ordered takeaway by myself... Poor.jpg]
【image】
【image】
Kong Nianxi shared her dinner with her, a vegetable salad, another plate full of barbecue, and twice as much milk tea. In the corner of the photo, Tata's furry cat paws that were trying to steal it could be seen.
However, the two ordinary photos had a different power to her at this moment, like a warm sun, warm and bright, filling every crease in her heart.
The person who was hysterical to her before said thank you and said that liking girls is a beautiful thing.
It seems to be true, there will be no sense of burden, no loss of control, and no crazy desire for monopoly.
And this beautiful emotion seems to be liking itself.
【Xi Ning: Drinking milk tea at night will make you unable to sleep. 】
[Kong Nianxi: Then don't sleep, just to miss you. 】
【Xi Ning: ...you are a bit earthy. 】
【Kong Nianxi:...】
[Kong Nianxi: You actually?Will you chat? 】
The back was tensed for a long time and felt uncomfortable. Xi Ning changed her sitting position, put her arms on the edge of the table, and held the glass of juice in her hand to her lips, and the sweet taste spread in her mouth.
Putting down the cup, there was a long silence, and she pointed to edit the information.
【Xi Ning: There is something I want to tell you. 】
After a long silence, the other party replied.
[Kong Nianxi: What's the matter? 】
【Kong Nianxi: Wait, don't say it yet. 】
[Kong Nianxi: Why don't you go to school tomorrow and tell me. 】
Xi Ning: "..."
She didn't know what Kong Nianxi was thinking, but she felt that this matter should be explained clearly earlier.
【Xi Ning: He is my younger brother. 】
[Kong Nianxi: ... What? 】
【Xi Ning: You saw it after school. 】
Another long silence.
[Kong Nianxi: Is this what you want to say, nothing else?Wait...it won't be the kind of younger brother who fucks older sister or something. 】
Xi Ning clenched her fingers, and typed a reply: 【Biological brother. 】
[Kong Nianxi: So, why did you suddenly tell me this now? I remember that you didn't refute when he said about your relationship. 】
Xi Ning paused for a long time, pressing the curve of her lower lip.
[Kong Nianxi: Brother and sister?Very interesting. 】
【Xi Ning: I just want to explain clearly. 】
Paused for a few seconds.
【Kong Nianxi: Then if I didn't see him this afternoon, don't you think of explaining it to me?You... have never taken it seriously, have you? 】
[Kong Nianxi: I think, at least I am sincere. This is the first time I have confessed my love and lowered my profile. I can wait, but I don’t have the courage to trample on others. 】
The heart was beating suddenly, anxious, helpless, mixed with a mess of emotions, rushing into the brain urgently.She was eager to explain, and her finger tapping was a bit messy: [Because after the explanation is clear, I can honestly say that I like you. 】
"..."
Across the screen, the atmosphere clearly calmed down.
The chat interface was frozen for a long time, which made Xi Ning's ears warm when she saw the last sentence she sent. She raised her hand and even wanted to withdraw the message.
[Kong Nianxi: Send the second half of the sentence again. 】
You retracted a message.
【Kong Nianxi:...】
[Kong Nianxi: Xi Ning, you can't play like this. 】
Rubbing her hot ears, Xi Ning blinked quickly, but she couldn't go back for a second.
[Kong Nianxi: Where are you now? 】
【Xi Ning: xx center】
[Kong Nianxi: Then I want to see you downstairs at my house before nine o'clock, is that okay? 】
"..."
Xi Ning bit her lower lip, she had a premonition, what it meant to go to Kong Nianxi now.
[Kong Nianxi: Forget it's inconvenient. 】
[Xi Ning: It's convenient. 】
She didn't know what was wrong with her. When she regained her senses, she had already hailed the car and got into the fast-moving car of the driver.
Three and ten minutes later, standing downstairs in the apartment, she was still a little dazed.
"Xi Ning? Xixi has already told me, you can go up directly~" The butler sister still remembered her, warmly welcomed her in, and even pressed the elevator for her.
Xi Ning smiled politely at her and stepped into the elevator slowly.
As the elevator climbed up to the top floor, her heartbeat became more and more unnatural, and she couldn't help pressing her chest lightly, trying to suppress this strange feeling.
As soon as the elevator door opened, she saw Kong Nianxi's bright face.
"You arrived 10 minutes early~ I praise you." Kong Nianxi glanced at the phone, walked over with a smile, took her hand and walked into the opened room.
It was still a familiar decoration, Xi Ning followed her into the porch, closed the door, turned around, but saw Kong Nianxi blocking in front of her.
"Why do you want to withdraw the message?" Kong Nianxi said lazily, and walked forward a few steps until he forced Xi Ning to the door, with nowhere to retreat.
The atmosphere instantly became ambiguous.
Kong Nianxi was wearing thin pajamas, and through the soft material, Xi Ning could feel the warmth of her body, and stared at her with her eyes from a short distance away, she turned her face away slightly: "For a while... my hands slipped. "
Kong Nianxi sneered: "I've only seen hand slippery send wrong messages, so there are also hand slippery retracted messages."
She said again: "I didn't see clearly just now, please tell me the second half of the sentence again."
"..." Xi Ning looked back at her and asked, "Didn't you see clearly?"
The moment their eyes intertwined, the temperature around their ears suddenly rose.
Kong Nianxi curled his lips into a smile, and leaned softly on her body: "What I vaguely saw was that you said you liked me~"
Xi Ning moved back half a step, her back was completely pressed against the door, and her tightly knit body loosened a gap, but Kong Nianxi quickly took another step closer, her soft body pressed even tighter.
"Aren't you going to admit what you said?" Kong Nianxi raised his eyebrows and said.
"Of course not." Xi Ning felt that her chest was being pressed a little out of breath, and said softly, "You get up first."
"No." Kong Nianxi pouted his lips slightly, unwilling to let go: "If you say it yourself, I will let you go."
"I..." The typed text is naturally a completely different feeling from saying it in person. Xi Ning parted her lips, feeling a little embarrassed for a while, but since she has said it, there is nothing wrong with admitting it.
"I like you."
The young voice, very soft, but very clear, hit the bottom of my heart.
"Can you say that again."
There was a bright smile on the corner of Kong Nianxi's lips, and he walked side by side with Xi Ning, which really attracted the attention - the two people's temperaments are too outstanding, one is cold and the other is gorgeous, but standing together they are strangely harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
Going down to the first floor, Xi Ning opened the umbrella, Kong Nianxi consciously raised his heels up, stood next to her under the umbrella, and took her arm smoothly.
The newly bought automatic folding umbrella is a bit heavy in the hand, the frame is big and strong, and it is more than enough to cover two people. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the hand tightly wrapped around her arm, and Xi Ning looked away without saying anything. go.
The fine raindrops fell on the umbrella surface and made a "bang bang" sound. The trail leading to the school gate was full of students leaving the school with umbrellas, wandering in the colorful "ocean", and the sturdy folding umbrella held up a piece of A space for two people.
Xi Ning kept silent, only staring at the black umbrella in front of her, and walked forward.It was raining and the traffic was congested, and it became crowded when approaching the school gate. The crowd had to stop and move forward like snails bit by bit.
After a while, Kong Nianxi became a little impatient, leaned to the side, put his chin on Xi Ning's shoulder, and muttered boredly: "It's so slow..."
After finishing speaking, she rubbed her chin on her shoulder, turned her face away, and began to study Xi Ningying's delicate auricles: "I just realized that your ears look good too."
The hot breath swept over the sensitive earlobe, making my heart tickle.
Almost subconsciously, Xi Ning's shoulders shook, and Kong Nianxi's jaw slid down.
"What are you doing?" Kong Nianxi couldn't hold back his laughter, raised his head and lightly tapped her shoulder.
Just when the crowd in front moved, Xi Ning raised her leg to keep up: "I'm going out right away."
The comforting way of answering irrelevant questions was inexplicably a little shy.
Kong Nianxi stared sideways at her and bent her lips, and didn't continue to dwell on this, but the interest in his eyes grew stronger.
"Let me hold the umbrella instead."
The arm next to her was raised, but Xi Ning's hand holding the umbrella did not move: "It's okay, this distance is not far."
Kong Nianxi: "Then, can you use the other hand for support?"
The sweet voice next to her ear was half coquettish. Xi Ning didn't know what she wanted to do again, and this request was obviously a bit inexplicable, so she paused for several seconds without moving.
Kong Nianxi bit her lips slightly: "Please~"
"..."
Xi Ning's ears warmed up, and she turned her head away.She found that the other party was less and less "outsider" in front of her, although...but she really couldn't refuse Kong Nianxi's showing weakness or acting like a baby.
She slowly passed the umbrella to the other hand, stretched out her right hand, and held the umbrella between the two of them.
But after the replacement, Xi Ning regretted it a little.
The two walked side by side, and as soon as she put down her left hand, Kong Nianxi's back was pressed against hers, and the cool fingertips inserted into the gap between her fingers, interlocking with hers.
"..."
Even if Xi Ning went to the bathroom hand in hand with her companions, it was a matter of elementary school years ago, not to mention the intimate and ambiguous gesture of interlocking fingers, it was the first time with others.A strange and strange feeling came over her, and she retracted her hand evasively, but was held tightly.
"Don't move, I just want to verify." Kong Nianxi looked at her and said.
Xi Ning frowned slightly: "Verify what?"
She still moved her fingers a little unnaturally, but the palm of her hand was pressed against the opponent's, and the delicate and warm touch aroused a strange feeling in her heart, and she stopped immediately.
Kong Nianxi smiled, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Verify whether you have feelings for me."
"..."
Suddenly a little nervous, Xi Ning raised her eyes and looked around.
At this moment, they just walked to the gate, and there were crowds of people in the front, back, left, and right, and the edge of the umbrella was also hooked with the umbrella next to it. It was not a suitable place for conversation.
Fortunately, Kong Nianxi didn't say anything else, just took advantage of Xi Ning's "compromise", and tightly clasped her hand, first interlocking his fingers, then gently loosening them, and spreading his five fingers tightly against Xi Ning's. than size.Probably because of being taller, Xi Ning's fingers are longer.
Holding an umbrella in one hand, and "playing" with the other hand, Xi Ning felt a little disturbed, especially when Kong Nianxi seemed to be scratching back and forth in her palm, the itchy feeling made her unable to hold back her fingers, But this didn't interrupt the interest of the other party, the cold touch covered the fingertips, pressed it lightly, hooked it again, and finally turned over her hand, and rubbed it on the faint black mole near the tiger's mouth...
Finally squeezed out from the dark crowd at the school gate, walked to the sidewalk next to her, Xi Ning quickly withdrew her hand, the abnormally hot palm seemed to smudge the tips of her ears.
With his hands empty, Kong Nianxi felt a little disappointed.
Xi Ning's hand is very beautiful, with slender fingers and soft touch, the palm is slightly bigger than hers, if it is wrapped in the palm like this, it must be gentle and safe...
This kind of thought came up involuntarily, and a sense of shame was fleeting. Kong Nianxi recovered his expression calmly, and brushed his long hair by his ear.
"Okay, I've come to a conclusion~"
Xi Ning looked over in surprise.
Kong Nianxi curled his lips, and his voice contained some grievances: "Why are you looking at me like this? I've wiped everything away and confessed to you nakedly. I'm not in a hurry to ask you for an answer. Find some sweet comfort for yourself. Can't you?"
Xi Ning: "..."
Two or three months ago, although she thought the other party was a troublesome girl, in her eyes, Kong Nianxi was also a luminous body surrounded by the crowd, with a glamorous appearance and chased by everyone.
She suddenly felt that she, who was obsessed with the word "like", might not be worthy of the other party's like.
Xi Ning opened her lips, and a sour feeling mixed with guilt climbed up her heart: "I'm sorry, I—"
Kong Nianxi suddenly covered her mouth with his hand: "I won't listen~"
"..."
She blinked, withdrew her hand and narrowed her eyes and said, "With your expression, don't you want to say something that makes me feel cold?"
"Boom bang."
The big raindrops gathered on the leaves hit the top of the umbrella and made a sound.
Xi Ning's tall figure is holding the umbrella quietly, her slender fingers are slightly curved, holding the handle of the umbrella, her narrow and beautiful eyes are still bright in the dim shadow under the umbrella, her expression is cold, but there is a little more in her eyes Soft: "I just hope you give me a little more time."
Kong Nianxi smiled lightly: "I guessed it, I really know you very well."
learn?
Xi Ning pondered her words, her eyes slightly startled.
Kong Nianxi glanced over her face, thought of something, and lowered the corners of his lips: "However, it may not be completely understood."
For example, not understanding what happened to you in the past.
The section of the road in front of the school was already blocked by vehicles coming to pick up the students. Keep walking, and at the first intersection, Xi Ning turned her head and asked, "Is anyone coming to pick you up?"
Hearing this, Kong Nianxi twitched the corner of her lower lip casually: "Who will pick me up, I'll go back to the apartment by myself."
Xi Ning remembered her apartment near the school, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Are you alone?"
Kong Nianxi looked up at her for a few seconds, and smiled sweetly: "Do you want to come to my house to accompany me?"
Xi Ning: "..."
At this time, on the side of the road on the right side of the intersection, a black car parked in front of the iron fence at the side gate of the school poked a head out, shouting: "Xi Ning, this way!"
When Xi Ning heard the sound and turned her head to look, she saw Xi Mu poking out a shoulder from the car window and waving at her vigorously.
"..."
Realizing something, she suddenly turned around, and Kong Nianxi had indeed noticed Xi Mu who was not far away, she frowned slightly, paused for two seconds, raised the corners of her eyes, and smiled half-smile: "Oh, he, I almost forgot you This childhood sweetheart neighbor, so you guys still come home from school together?"
"..."
Xi Ning was in a very complicated mood at the moment, even a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to explain it to her.
"Actually, he's not..."
"Oh, he's not, what's that?" Kong Nianxi raised her eyebrows, in fact, when she thought about the previous incident, she was more embarrassed than Xi Ning.
"Since people have come to pick you up, I can walk back alone for the rest of the way."
After finishing speaking, she turned her head and took out a small umbrella from her bag, stepped onto the zebra crossing, and walked in the opposite direction without looking back.
"Wait." Xi Ning subconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes.
Kong Nianxi stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "Why, is there anything else?"
"..." Xi Ning looked at her expression: "Don't be angry."
"I'm not angry. Why am I angry?" Kong Nianxi stared at her, then curled his lower lip again: "You are so reluctant, don't you want to go home with me?"
Xi Ning paused, then stopped: "I have something to go back this week."
Kong Nianxi opened his mouth to say something, glanced at the car behind him, then closed it again, and said with a sneer, "See you next week then."
"..."
Seeing her walk safely to the other side of the road, Xi Ning looked away.
After closing the car door, Xi Mu leaned over curiously and asked, "Who was that just now? I couldn't see clearly under the umbrella, so why are you talking about it?"
Xi Ning fastened her seat belt and gave him a cold look: "Is it related to you?"
Xi Mu was startled by the icicles in his eyes, and said, "Have you taken gunpowder lately? Why do you always hate me? I just don't ask."
Xi Ning just felt a little annoyed, ignored him, and turned to look out the car window.
It was the driver who came to pick them up. The car drove quickly on the road and soon arrived at the door of the house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a well-dressed Ms. Xu greeted: "I'm finally back, hurry up and change into clothes that can be seen, we are leaving."
Xi Mu threw his schoolbag on the sofa, and asked suspiciously, "Where are you going, are you in such a hurry?"
Ms. Xu: "My old classmate's daughter has a birthday party tonight, don't worry about it, go change your clothes quickly, don't be too coquettish, show me some seriousness."
"Yes, yes, Miss Xu." Xi Mu nodded and walked to his room.
Xi Ning also went upstairs silently, but was stopped by Ms. Xu: "By the way, Ning Ning, my old classmate is your Aunt Meng, and her daughter is Qiu Ying. I remember you were classmates in junior high school, and you have a good relationship, right?" ?”
Hearing this distant name, Xi Ning suddenly stopped.
Ms. Xu continued to mutter: "But did you get the same status because you didn't go to a school in high school? You were very close before... Sigh, Ningning, you should make more friends."
Xi Ning turned her head: "Can I not go?"
Ms. Xu was a little surprised. Xi Ning has always been a very obedient child. No matter what requests they made, she rarely refuted them. Besides, she was only going to a birthday party this time. She couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, why don't you want to go, baby? You are not friends ?"
"And Qiu Ying specifically told me that she wanted you to go."
"..."
Xi Ning didn't speak.She has been a good girl since she was a child, the image of a well-learned and obedient child of other people's family. She has become accustomed to this role, and since she was a child, she didn't like to share her emotions, even with close relatives. In the school, she grew up smoothly, except for the incident that alarmed the school and called the parents in the third year of junior high school, but Xi Ning also behaved normally afterwards, and they gradually forgot about that incident.
Ms. Xu took off her schoolbag from her shoulder, sighed and said, "Baby, you are good in everything, but your personality is too boring, and you don't want to share anything with us. You really inherited your father's temperament. Can you be like Xi Mu? A combination of fools will be perfect, alas."
The old man Xi came out with his tie on, just when he heard this, he was happy: "It means that my genes are strong, see that Ningning just followed my smart head, just talk less, and it will be fine when she grows up."
"But why do I feel that the longer I grow, the more I look like you, and the more bored I am, especially when I have something to worry about."
"..."
When the two of them started arguing, no one else had anything to do, Xi Ning stood for a while, then quietly went upstairs.
Since the other party clearly mentioned her, it is not easy to shirk.
Xi Ning sat on her bed in a daze.
A corner of the dusty past emerged, and she felt in a trance that those hazes that she thought she had forgotten had been affecting her until today.
At night, the lights are on.
Xi Ning stared at her feet expressionlessly. In front of her, Ms. Xu was greeting a woman with exquisite makeup.
"Has Ning Ning already grown this tall?"
"Yeah, time flies so fast, Sakura is gone."
"..."
Some sterile dialogue.Xi Ning kept her head down, because there was a young girl standing behind the woman.
Following to meet people was out of politeness, soon Xi Ning found an excuse and withdrew to her seat.
Xi Mu brought her a glass of juice: "Hey, why don't you sneak away now, don't come if you don't want to come, isn't it just a birthday party, you two have such an embarrassing conflict, I wouldn't come. "
Xi Mu was from the same school in junior high school before, so Xi Mu naturally knew about her third year of junior high school, but it’s been a while, and his carefree temperament can’t completely empathize with girls. I just vaguely remember that there was a special trash at that time. Because the confession was rejected, he deliberately approached Xi Ning in the name of a friend, and took advantage of Xi Ning's indiscriminate trust in his friend to distort the facts and spread very nasty rumors outside, and when Xi Ning confronted him face to face At that time, the boy became emotional and suddenly went crazy, and jumped directly from the second floor of the classroom. In the end, because the floor was not high, he was only slightly injured. .
As for Qiu Ying, she was Xi Ning's best friend in junior high school, but the friendship has unilaterally and quietly deteriorated. Xi Mu didn't know what happened between them. , but what Qiu Ying said at the time was terrible, and Xi Ning must have been hit hard by hearing the accent and believing the words of that trash boy, otherwise she wouldn't have lost contact with all her classmates in junior high school.
Thinking of this, Xi Mu still feels sorry for his sister. This kind of thing happened at a young age, so it is impossible that there is no shadow. Although Ms. Xu sought counseling from a psychiatrist afterwards, Xi Mu believed that she was still greatly affected.So he also understands why Xi Ning became like this. If it were him, he probably wouldn't believe that there is still love in this world, the love of love.
Xi Ning took the glass from him with a calm expression: "It's all in the past."
Xi Mu's eyes widened: "You really think so?"
Xi Ning took a sip of the juice, and was really in no mood to tell him these things: "If you have free time, go out and blow some air."
Seeing that he was disgusted again, Xi Mu sniffed and got up: "Okay, I'll just get out of here."
"..."
After the person walked away, Xi Ning casually put the glass on the side of the dining table, lowered her eyelashes, and there was another layer of dim haze in her eyes.
Sitting alone for a while, the phone in my pocket vibrated, and Ms. Xu sent a message.
[Ms. Xu: Baby, add me as a friend~]
Pushed a WeChat account from behind.
Xi Ning stared at the phone, she rarely took the initiative to add the contact information of strangers, and now there are only a handful of numbers lying in the friend list.
After hesitating for a long time, she clicked the send button, and the other party agreed to the friend request almost instantly.
[xxx: Xi Ning, I'm Qiu Ying. 】
The message that popped up on the screen made Xi Ning's fingers stiff, as if she was afraid that she would be blocked, and the second message was sent at the same time, which was a long paragraph.
[xxx: Thank you for coming to my birthday party, I thought you wouldn't come.I understand that you don't want to see me again, so forgive me for taking the initiative to get your contact information in this way, because I should apologize to you for the selfish and hurtful things I said before.I'm sorry, but I should have always been the one to feel guilty and sorry for this, but I shamelessly tried to push the blame on you.I am not worthy, but I still think that I understand you, so I want to make up for the burden I caused on you as much as possible, because I have let go, and I hope you will not be affected any more.Finally, thank you for letting me know how wonderful it is to like girls, at a beautiful age. 】
"..."
Xi Ning stared at the phone, her slender fingers tensed, and her downcast eyes showed no emotion, like a frozen picture, sitting quietly on a chair, with a gloomy atmosphere all over her body.
It took a long time before her lips curved slightly, and she sneered coldly.
Before jumping headfirst from the back window, he said grimly: "You forced me to die, you ruined me, you will never get over it!"
Before the last quarrel, she pointed at her and said: "I became a pervert because of you, you killed me, you never deserve to be liked."
Now they themselves let it go lightly, saying I'm sorry, can they eliminate the harm done to others by what they have done and said?
He is obviously the person she trusts the most, but he can turn around and stab her with a knife without any burden.
As if back to that summer, no matter where I went, I was pointed at the back from a distance, isolated, commented, and looked at strangely.
It's been a long time, but the feeling of grievance and anger is so clear.
She lowered her head and stared at her feet, her vision gradually began to blur, and sourness spilled out of the corners of her eyes.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, no matter how calm she can be, how calm she can be, how restrained she can be.
For a while, the word liking was regarded by her as a snake and a scorpion, like a magic box full of dark sides, and she didn't know what would emerge from it once it was opened.
There were simply people coming and going around, and no one noticed this empty corner.
Wipe off the water marks with your fingertips, it seems that the haze that has been suppressed at the bottom for many years has also been evaporated and wiped away.The vision became clear again, Xi Ning took a deep breath, and her chest felt much lighter.
Since they don't care anymore, why punish themselves.
The cell phone in her palm vibrated again, and Xi Ning paused for a long time before looking down, the reddish corners of her eyes froze for a moment, then the gloom dissipated, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
[Kong Nianxi: Have you had dinner yet?I ordered takeaway by myself... Poor.jpg]
【image】
【image】
Kong Nianxi shared her dinner with her, a vegetable salad, another plate full of barbecue, and twice as much milk tea. In the corner of the photo, Tata's furry cat paws that were trying to steal it could be seen.
However, the two ordinary photos had a different power to her at this moment, like a warm sun, warm and bright, filling every crease in her heart.
The person who was hysterical to her before said thank you and said that liking girls is a beautiful thing.
It seems to be true, there will be no sense of burden, no loss of control, and no crazy desire for monopoly.
And this beautiful emotion seems to be liking itself.
【Xi Ning: Drinking milk tea at night will make you unable to sleep. 】
[Kong Nianxi: Then don't sleep, just to miss you. 】
【Xi Ning: ...you are a bit earthy. 】
【Kong Nianxi:...】
[Kong Nianxi: You actually?Will you chat? 】
The back was tensed for a long time and felt uncomfortable. Xi Ning changed her sitting position, put her arms on the edge of the table, and held the glass of juice in her hand to her lips, and the sweet taste spread in her mouth.
Putting down the cup, there was a long silence, and she pointed to edit the information.
【Xi Ning: There is something I want to tell you. 】
After a long silence, the other party replied.
[Kong Nianxi: What's the matter? 】
【Kong Nianxi: Wait, don't say it yet. 】
[Kong Nianxi: Why don't you go to school tomorrow and tell me. 】
Xi Ning: "..."
She didn't know what Kong Nianxi was thinking, but she felt that this matter should be explained clearly earlier.
【Xi Ning: He is my younger brother. 】
[Kong Nianxi: ... What? 】
【Xi Ning: You saw it after school. 】
Another long silence.
[Kong Nianxi: Is this what you want to say, nothing else?Wait...it won't be the kind of younger brother who fucks older sister or something. 】
Xi Ning clenched her fingers, and typed a reply: 【Biological brother. 】
[Kong Nianxi: So, why did you suddenly tell me this now? I remember that you didn't refute when he said about your relationship. 】
Xi Ning paused for a long time, pressing the curve of her lower lip.
[Kong Nianxi: Brother and sister?Very interesting. 】
【Xi Ning: I just want to explain clearly. 】
Paused for a few seconds.
【Kong Nianxi: Then if I didn't see him this afternoon, don't you think of explaining it to me?You... have never taken it seriously, have you? 】
[Kong Nianxi: I think, at least I am sincere. This is the first time I have confessed my love and lowered my profile. I can wait, but I don’t have the courage to trample on others. 】
The heart was beating suddenly, anxious, helpless, mixed with a mess of emotions, rushing into the brain urgently.She was eager to explain, and her finger tapping was a bit messy: [Because after the explanation is clear, I can honestly say that I like you. 】
"..."
Across the screen, the atmosphere clearly calmed down.
The chat interface was frozen for a long time, which made Xi Ning's ears warm when she saw the last sentence she sent. She raised her hand and even wanted to withdraw the message.
[Kong Nianxi: Send the second half of the sentence again. 】
You retracted a message.
【Kong Nianxi:...】
[Kong Nianxi: Xi Ning, you can't play like this. 】
Rubbing her hot ears, Xi Ning blinked quickly, but she couldn't go back for a second.
[Kong Nianxi: Where are you now? 】
【Xi Ning: xx center】
[Kong Nianxi: Then I want to see you downstairs at my house before nine o'clock, is that okay? 】
"..."
Xi Ning bit her lower lip, she had a premonition, what it meant to go to Kong Nianxi now.
[Kong Nianxi: Forget it's inconvenient. 】
[Xi Ning: It's convenient. 】
She didn't know what was wrong with her. When she regained her senses, she had already hailed the car and got into the fast-moving car of the driver.
Three and ten minutes later, standing downstairs in the apartment, she was still a little dazed.
"Xi Ning? Xixi has already told me, you can go up directly~" The butler sister still remembered her, warmly welcomed her in, and even pressed the elevator for her.
Xi Ning smiled politely at her and stepped into the elevator slowly.
As the elevator climbed up to the top floor, her heartbeat became more and more unnatural, and she couldn't help pressing her chest lightly, trying to suppress this strange feeling.
As soon as the elevator door opened, she saw Kong Nianxi's bright face.
"You arrived 10 minutes early~ I praise you." Kong Nianxi glanced at the phone, walked over with a smile, took her hand and walked into the opened room.
It was still a familiar decoration, Xi Ning followed her into the porch, closed the door, turned around, but saw Kong Nianxi blocking in front of her.
"Why do you want to withdraw the message?" Kong Nianxi said lazily, and walked forward a few steps until he forced Xi Ning to the door, with nowhere to retreat.
The atmosphere instantly became ambiguous.
Kong Nianxi was wearing thin pajamas, and through the soft material, Xi Ning could feel the warmth of her body, and stared at her with her eyes from a short distance away, she turned her face away slightly: "For a while... my hands slipped. "
Kong Nianxi sneered: "I've only seen hand slippery send wrong messages, so there are also hand slippery retracted messages."
She said again: "I didn't see clearly just now, please tell me the second half of the sentence again."
"..." Xi Ning looked back at her and asked, "Didn't you see clearly?"
The moment their eyes intertwined, the temperature around their ears suddenly rose.
Kong Nianxi curled his lips into a smile, and leaned softly on her body: "What I vaguely saw was that you said you liked me~"
Xi Ning moved back half a step, her back was completely pressed against the door, and her tightly knit body loosened a gap, but Kong Nianxi quickly took another step closer, her soft body pressed even tighter.
"Aren't you going to admit what you said?" Kong Nianxi raised his eyebrows and said.
"Of course not." Xi Ning felt that her chest was being pressed a little out of breath, and said softly, "You get up first."
"No." Kong Nianxi pouted his lips slightly, unwilling to let go: "If you say it yourself, I will let you go."
"I..." The typed text is naturally a completely different feeling from saying it in person. Xi Ning parted her lips, feeling a little embarrassed for a while, but since she has said it, there is nothing wrong with admitting it.
"I like you."
The young voice, very soft, but very clear, hit the bottom of my heart.
"Can you say that again."
