MTL - Chasing Summer-Chapter 71
The next day Lin Zhexia woke up very early.
She fell asleep, the bridge of her nose knocked on Chi Yao's shoulder, the boy's bones were too hard, and she woke up abruptly.
She opened her eyes, waking up from another person's arms in the misty morning for the first time.
After Chi Yao took another shower last night, she was probably afraid of the heat, and she didn't wear a sweater. The body temperature of boys seemed to be higher than that of girls, so she seemed to be surrounded by a heater. He looked a little more "obedient" when he was asleep than usual, his sharp eyebrows were restrained, and he was much quieter.
It turns out that when you wake up, you can see the person you like when you open your eyes, which is such a feeling.
Lin Zhexia originally planned to get up immediately, and then go back to the room to pretend that nothing happened last night.
But the picture in front of me is so warm—
Sunlight poured in lazily through the window, Chi Yao felt something in his sleep, and unconsciously tightened his hand around her.
She suddenly thought, it's okay to stay in bed for a while.
So Lin Zhexia Lai swiped her phone in his arms for a while, there was no news today, and she got tired of swiping the video after a while, she put down the phone and raised her head to look at Chi Yao's face.
Attention fell on the boy's eyelashes.
His eyelashes are so long, Lin Zhexia stretched out his hand to compare.
Then she felt itchy and wanted to pull one out.
As she got closer, the person with closed eyes suddenly opened them, and the eyelashes gently brushed past her fingertips.
"what are you doing."
Lin Zhexia blurted out: "I want to pull out your eyelashes."
"..."
"Pull it out." To her surprise, Chi Yao closed her eyes obediently, "I've already slept through it, what's mine is yours."
Lin Zhexia blushed: "I don't want to pull it out anymore."
She broke away from Chi Yao's hand, got up from the bed, stepped on her slippers and prepared to go back to the room: "I'll go back first, Xiaoxue may find me for breakfast later."
Their two-day travel plan is very simple. Yesterday, they visited famous local museums and historical sites. Today they plan to check in a playground. After the playground project is over, they will check out and return to school in the evening.
Having known Chi Yao for so many years, Lin Zhexia knew very well that none of these projects were the type of activities that Chi Yao liked.
He came only because she wanted to.
Early in the morning, Lan Xiaoxue really came to her: "Here, here are the tickets to the playground."
Lin Zhexia took the two tickets and asked, "Aren't you going?"
Lan Xiaoxue said: "Let's go, although we say we play together, but Qin Lei and I don't really want to eat dog food, so it's better for us to enter separately."
After finishing speaking, Lan Xiaoxue winked at her: "Remember to take the Ferris wheel. I heard that you can see a sea of flowers from the highest point. It is very suitable for lovers. It is said that they can be together for a long time. I just I can take you here."
If it was before, Lin Zhexia must have felt that such legends were groundless.
But after she fell in love with Chi Yao, she also became "superstitious".
After the two of them had finished their breakfast, packed up their things, went in through the ticket check at the entrance of the playground, and went shopping around, Chi Yao asked her where else she wanted to go.
Lin Zhexia couldn't hide her thoughts: "Let's go ride the Ferris wheel."
"We girls," she added, trying to cover up her real purpose, "just prefer this kind of girly projects, and there is no particular reason."
Chi Yao really didn't think much about it.
But he took her hand, and the two walked to the queue. The amusement park probably put up a poster at the entrance in order to attract customers. The legend of the Ferris wheel was written on the poster.
"Ferris Wheel Legend"
"be with you forever"
Chi Yao glanced at the poster, then turned to look at her: "There is no other reason?"
Lin Zhexia: "..."
Chi Yao seemed in a good mood: "I don't want to be separated from me so much."
Lin Zhexia was very embarrassed: "...No."
"It's also understandable." He said again.
Lin Zhexia habitually denied: "You are less narcissistic."
The Ferris wheel is one of the most popular items in the amusement park. There are many people queuing up. Lin Zhexia looked at the long queue in front of him and planned to buy a cup of milk tea nearby: "You line up here first, and I will go over."
Before she said what she was going to do, Chi Yao saw through it at a glance: "Just buy your own, don't buy it for me, I won't drink it."
Lin Zhexia: "Oh."
This kind of thing often happens between her and Chi Yao.
Some of her thoughts and thoughts can always be seen through by him at a glance.
Lin Zhexia temporarily left the line to buy milk tea on the opposite side. Before she left, she vaguely saw a pair of girls in the long line. The pair of girls should be friends who came to play together. Seeing her leave, they even looked in her direction Several glances.
Lin Zhexia ignored this gaze, went to the milk tea shop to order a drink, waited for a while, then took the bag handed over by the clerk and said, "Thank you."
She turned around with her drink in her hand, and found that when she looked in the direction she had just come, the first person she saw was no longer Chi Yao, but... two girls surrounded him.
The two girls looked very young.
She walked over and vaguely heard a sweet "brother".
The girl obviously wanted WeChat ID: "Brother, do me a favor, can you send me ten yuan on WeChat."
Chi Yao stood there with his hands in his pockets, and raised his eyelids coolly: "Don't shout, there's no WeChat."
The girl was not discouraged either: "I didn't bring enough money, I won't be able to go home later, please help me."
Chi Yao: "Turn left and go straight, the service hall."
Girl: "What am I going to do in the service hall?"
"Call home."
He said without any ups and downs, "You can't go home, that's something your parents should take care of."
"..."
"Next time you don't have enough money, don't come out to play," he said again, "It's quite disturbing to others."
When Lin Zhexia walked over, the faces of the two girls turned green and then pale, and they turned their heads and left the project queue.
She hadn't seen Chi Yao like this for a long time.
After falling in love, Chi Yao was particularly indulgent towards her. Although he always looked unattainable, he usually clings to her.
But no matter before or now, Chi Yao is always special to her.
Unlike everyone else.
Lin Zhexia pretended to be jealous while drinking milk tea: "Who were those two just now?"
Chi Yao: "I don't know."
"I still call you brother if I don't know you," Lin Zhexia said sullenly, "You should be very happy."
Chi Yao raised his eyebrows: "Why am I happy?"
Lin Zhexia: "...Because you like to hear people call you brother."
"Be careful with what you say." After she came, he stretched out his hand that was in his pocket and hung it by his side, looking for her hand habitually, "I only like you to hear you shouting alone."
While talking, the line was up to them.
After the two sat in, the project personnel closed the hatch.
The ferris wheel turned slowly.
When you turn to the top, you can overlook a large sea of flowers nearby. Even in winter, the flowers are in full bloom. Looking down from the top, it looks like a painting painted on land.
Her last memory of that day was when the Ferris wheel paused at the top, Chi Yao suddenly leaned over and kissed her.
A fleeting, pure kiss.
"Why did you kiss me all of a sudden?" she asked.
This is clearly not on the poster.
"I read it online," Chi Yao said, "I'm superstitious."
At the end of the semester, a small incident happened.
Chi Yao joined a project team.
After the sophomore year of their majors, they all have to join the group for practical study, and he is the only one who entered the group early in the freshman year.
After participating in the project, he became even busier.
After turning off the lights at night, Lin Zhexia went to the balcony to call him: "Have you not returned to the dormitory yet?"
"At the teacher's place."
Chi Yao said, "The lights in the dormitory are turned off, so it's inconvenient to go back. I can't use the computer."
"Oh," Lin Zhexia didn't bother him too much, "Then remember to go back and rest early."
But obviously "early rest" was not so easy for Chi Yao. After a week of busy projects, at the end of the semester, he applied for day study in the next semester, and then rented a room off campus.
Lin Zhexia accompanied him to look at the house before the holiday.
After watching a few sets, Chi Yao asked her which set she liked, Lin Zhexia thought for a while: "The set with floor-to-ceiling windows, I think the lighting is better. But it mainly depends on you."
Chi Yao chose what she said: "It's up to you. Your opinion is very important."
At first she didn't know the meaning of Chi Yao's words.
Chi Yao quickly finished his application for day school.
I moved the things in the dormitory, and after I settled down, it happened to usher in the winter vacation.
"Please." On the day Chi Yao moved things, his other roommates wanted to kneel down for him, "Can you give me a key."
"Lights out at ten o'clock in school—it's hardly a human life."
"A roommate for a day, a roommate for life! Your home outside the school is our home!"
"Yeah, so we can usually go to your place for a while to play games online and then come back."
"What are you talking about, playing games, that's learning! Playing games is so ugly, at least you should use learning as an excuse to cover it up."
"..."
"Want to live?"
Chi Yao held two keys between his fingers, one of which was a spare key, and glanced at them.
The other three roommates nodded in unison.
Chi Yao said coolly, "I want to live and rent it by myself."
The spare key was finally given to Lin Zhexia.
She accompanied Chi Yao to clean up the house, and when she was about to go back to school, she was stopped by him at the door, and she asked, "Is there anything else to do?"
"No more," said Chi Yao, "but you left something behind."
Lin Zhexia was carrying a satchel, and looked at him helplessly: "You better not say that I fell for you, this kind of rustic love talk has been outdated for a long time, brother."
Chi Yao hung the spare key between his fingers, hooked it around half a circle, the key shook in the air, and finally fell into her eyes: "...I lost this one."
Lin Zhexia was stunned, he simply grabbed her hand and put the new key into her open palm.
"Get it."
This scene is very similar to the scene when Chi Yao gave her the key to his house many years ago.
It's just that at that time, Chi Yao was annoyed, and threw the key to her as if not to disturb him anymore: "Next time, open the door and come in by yourself."
And that key has long been invalidated.
It was only at this moment that she realized why Chi Yao said her opinion was very important when choosing a house.
