The most beautiful thing about youth is simply liking someone.

The hot air finally blew a cool breeze, the scorching sun dried every land on the earth, the sky was cloudy, and the hot weather for too long finally ushered in a torrential rain.

When Xiao Li went out, he saw the new raincoat and rain boots hanging at the door, and his heart was warm but sad, why, he always felt that when his father was working to the point where he was about to forget himself, he could always care about these little things? It seems that he has been too sensitive recently, asking too much, and does not understand Dad's hard work

Close the door, since leaving the house yesterday afternoon, she has not gone out again, and then she heard the sound of the car starting outside the door, she seemed to hear the sound of Cheng Zimu knocking on the door, but she didn't have the courage to open the door after all, she was a little crazy, but she is not stupid, since she was a child, her father's training, Grandpa Cheng's preaching to her and Cheng Zimu, she knows better than anyone what the soldiers who appeared yesterday afternoon are here to do, Cheng Zimu did not have the qualifications and age to refer to the military academy, but Cheng Jia is standing there, he will always have some different treatment, he and Cheng Zimu, is it getting farther and farther away。

I remember when I was a child, she asked her father if she would be a policeman in the future, her father was angry for the first time, and strongly objected, and asked her not to mention it again in the future, she knew that her father was for her safety, and as time went on, she stopped mentioning this matter, until yesterday, she finally found out that the road after Cheng Zimu was to walk in there after all, and they might not be like before.

Xiao Li is now looking at the gate of the family in front of the door, the rain washed away all the marks, and also washed away the footprints left by Cheng Zimu yesterday, Xiao Li suddenly felt regretful, why could she say those words so easily that day, from childhood to adulthood, she was used to him by his side, and now, but it has only just begun, is she not used to it?

"Zhang Xiaoli, you are really unproductive!" Xiaoli shook her head with a smile, carried her schoolbag, turned to leave, in the heavy rain, her figure was thin and blurred, and the doors of the two houses behind her were wet by the rain, and gradually lost their bright colors.

Hard work will always be rewarded, the recent efforts have not been in vain, Xiaoli was still in a better mood when he got the exam results, Xing Mo was actually the second in the class this time, Xiaoli looked at her smiling and suddenly felt at ease, Xing Mo never said much, always shy and shy, every day is a smile, which makes people feel warm, Xiaoli congratulated her with a smile, Qu Qing came over, although she worked hard enough, but her grades did not improve much, lying in the arms of the two with a sad face, muttering that she didn't know what she was complaining about.

Xiao Li saw Fang Yi passing by, and was about to speak, but saw him take a quick look, so he left quickly, his face was red, Xiao Li watched him leave, and was just about to stand up, when the class bell rang, she had to give up, and after school, Qu Qing shouted that she wanted to go to Xiao Li's house, and Xiao Li forgot about Fang Yi for a while.

The three friends didn't go home hand in hand for a long time, talking and laughing all the way, so that Xiaoli temporarily forgot the discomfort in his heart, Dad still didn't come back, Xiaoli rolled up his sleeves and drove the two to the living room, saying that he wanted to show them a hand and prepare lunch, Xing Mo and Qu Qing sat on the sofa with a smile and watched TV with peace of mind.

After Xiaoli was busy in the kitchen, she didn't pay attention to Xing Mo getting up and walking, Xing Mo came to Xiaoli's bedroom, she has been to this room many times, she has slept here a few times, Xiaoli's things are always messy, she wanted to come in and tidy it up for her, open the glass of the bookcase, she saw a photo album, Xing Mo's heartbeat missed a shot, she pulled it out and sat on the edge of the bed, there are a lot of photos in the album, most of them are photos of several people when they were children, as well as photos of Xiaoli's birthday before, suddenly, Xing Mo's eyes flashed, her hand touched a photo, on the photo, Cheng Zimu stood in the sun, bright smile, bright eyes, hands □□ pockets, Xing Mo's face was red, her heart was full of nervousness, she remembered that she rarely talked to Cheng Zimu alone, and it was also because of Xiaoli that she slowly became familiar with him, and everyone played and went to school together, but there was one thing, no one knew, once on the afternoon of the first day of junior high school, it was snowing heavily, Xiaoli didn't come to class because of a cold, she and Qu Qing went home alone after separation, the road was particularly slippery, she fell, pedestrians were in a hurry, and it was evening, few people noticed her in the alley, at this moment, Cheng Zimu appeared, helped her up, in order to buy Xiaoli's favorite sugar packets, he passed by the alley, and after that, he sent himself home all the way, I don't know how many times she was about to fall, It was the young man who used his body to prop her up, until Cheng Zimu left, she stood at the door of the house for a long time, even if his figure was no longer visible, she did not move, from then on, the seeds of a little crush slowly germinated, after that, Cheng Zimu didn't remember these things at all, maybe he never cared, but Xing Mo's small heart buried a thought.

She is shy and inferior, she doesn't like to talk, no one knows that she has this secret in her heart, everyone knows that Cheng Zimu is very good to Xiaoli, the relationship between the two is very good, everyone even speculates whether the two will fall in love, although they are commensurate with each other, but they protect each other, Xing Mo never thinks much about it, she just wants to like him silently, she believes in her heart that Cheng Zimu should be with Xiaoli, she is so simple and kind, she regards Xiaoli as her best friend and confidant, she never feels that she is qualified to be with Cheng Zimu, but, seeing this photo, she is still moved, she gently took out the photo, and there are many similar photos in the album, Even if she takes one, she won't be noticed, she carefully put the photo in her pocket, put the album back into the distance nervously, took a deep breath, and she began to clean up the room for Xiaoli again, until Qu Qing came in and called her to eat.

On the dinner table, Qu Qing still looked disgusted and asked Xing Mo to clean up the room every time she came, saying that she didn't look like a girl, Xiaoli kept replying, the two were very happy, Xing Mo was a little nervous in her heart, and she could only watch the two of them fight with a smile, although she was not forgiving, but after eating, Qu Qing still pushed Xiaoli out of the kitchen, cleaned up the dishes by herself, and let her rest.

When Xiaoli stopped Fang Yi, it was another day after school and said goodbye to Xing Mo Quqing, Fang Yi pushed the car to dodge, Xiaoli held down the handlebar with one hand, Fang Yi couldn't push it, he lowered his head and sighed, Xiaoli's strength she knew, I'm afraid only Cheng Zimu could beat it, he simply parked the car and looked up at her, "Say, what do you ask?"

"Why are you avoiding me with such nervous faces this morning? ”

"I'm not hiding from you, I'm hiding from ,,,,"

"Huh?"

"Oh, it's not you anyway, and it's not Zimu's business, so you don't care. Fang Yi scratched his head.

"Then what's the matter, you are a good friend of Cheng Zimu, he is not here, what do you have to tell me, I will help you for him, besides, we have been classmates for so long, I liked the gift you gave me last time, and I haven't thanked you yet, but now that you have something, I am naturally duty-bound." Xiao Li patted his chest with a serious face.

Fang Yi looked at her and sneered, her enthusiastic nosy nature was really hard to refuse, Fang Yi blushed, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I haven't had much time to read books recently, and I didn't do well in the exam this time, I will be admitted to the high school entrance examination soon, and I can't settle down." ”

"Because Cheng Zimu is not here?"

"No, I ,,, I seem to like it, like a girl. Fang Yi's voice became smaller and quieter, almost inaudible.

"What, you, who do you like!" Xiao Li stepped back, his eyes flashed, and he recovered in an instant.

"Oh, my aunt, you can be quiet. Fang Yi was startled and hurriedly pulled her to the corner.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, then, who do you like? Fang Yi, aren't you, you're in early love!"

"I, I just secretly like it, I don't do anything, I just occasionally watch her laugh, watch her go to and from class, and feel happy, so I'm annoyed, I'm going to take the high school entrance examination soon, and I still want to get a good score and go to high school with her!" Fang Yi bowed his head in annoyance.

"You won't like Qu Qing, will you?!" Xiao Li suddenly spoke, and his words were not shocking.

Fang Yi was startled, and hurriedly covered her mouth, looked around nervously, and Xiao Li knocked his hand off, "I guessed, right?"

Fang Yi nodded, "How did you guess, Xiao Li, I found out that you are not stupid at all, your IQ has soared!" Fang Yi looked incredulous.

"Fuck off, you're stupid, it's all Cheng Zimu telling you every day that I'm stupid, you have preconceived ideas, I'm smart, when you passed by in the morning, when you looked at me in the morning, I could see that what you liked was definitely not me, Xing Mo and your personality are so different, besides Qu Qing, who else will there be, besides, she has been so busy tutoring recently, but the exam is still not good, I guess, she must have seen it, but she didn't say it, you still think the whole world doesn't know!" Xiao Li looked at Fang Yi's face from white to red with disdain, and patted him on the shoulder. Brother, maybe Xiaoqing already knew, and she didn't hate you, but ah, the last two weeks, you better rest assured, wait for the end of the high school entrance examination, it's easy to say anything, after all, Tianlan High School is not so easy to test, although I don't support early love, but you two, I still feel hopeful, you think about it slowly, I'm leaving, but you don't want to affect our Xiaoqing's learning, otherwise, hum!"

Xiao Li turned around and left, leaving Fang Yi, who was still in place, he suddenly laughed stupidly, but his face was straight, his eyes were firm, and he nodded.

Xiaoli slowly walked on the way home, the heavy rain finally stopped, the path was a little muddy, she looked at the rainbow hanging in the sky after the rain, and muttered to herself, "Cheng Zimu, I also want to see you happy every day, watch you go to and from class, I can see you every day, am I, I also like you a little? Hey, it's really tangled, it turns out that we have reached the age where we can like a person, really, early love, this is not good!".

The air was full of the fragrance of earth and flowers, and the small figure left a thin figure with the sun, and there was no one around her to accompany her home, making her more and more lonely.

Xiaoli was noisy outside the room and no longer sleepy, the room was stuffy, and the floor fan blew out only hot air, she got up and took a shower, changed into short-sleeved shorts, and walked out of the door wearing flip-flops.

Although she still felt a little awkward, but her father spoke, she didn't dare to disobey, in fact, she kept muttering in her heart, how could a family lack things, everyone is a capitalist.

She held the box with one hand and an apple in the other, ate while walking, and gently kicked open the door of the family with her foot.

Walking into the courtyard, Cheng Zimu suddenly jumped out, Xiao Li was startled, and the box smashed directly on Cheng Zimu's feet, although it was not heavy, but it was also smashed hard, Cheng Zimu still roared in pain, "Zhang Xiaoli, you did it on purpose, you want to stone me to death"

Xiao Li was full of guilt, but when he heard him shout out like this, the guilt disappeared in an instant, picked up the box on the ground again, turned around and walked towards the room, and said distressedly as he walked, "Oh, my box, it's so pitiful, it was touched by such a stinky foot, it has to be washed well!"

Cheng Zimu stood behind him and grinned, but after Xiaoli entered the room, a wry smile appeared on his face, hey, it was still much more noisy and comfortable.

Xiao Li talked to Grandma Cheng in the house for a long time, but Cheng Zimu didn't come in, so he was a little puzzled in his heart, wouldn't he really smash it hard? No, how could he be so squeamish.

"Xiaoli, have lunch here today, grandma will make your favorite braised fish at noon today. Grandma Cheng smiled and patted Xiaoli's shoulder

"Okay, thank you, Grandma, I want to drool at the thought of the fish she made. ”

Grandma Cheng smiled and tied her apron and walked to the kitchen, Xiaoli slowly opened the door of the house, walked to the courtyard, turned around and didn't see Cheng Zimu, she turned around and came to the backyard that she doesn't usually come to, a very small open space, only a few grape shelves, it was originally intended to put sundries, but then it was not used, so it was vacant, Xiaoli and Cheng Zimu played here once or twice when they were children, but space, they no longer came.

Walking into the backyard, Xiao Li was lying there, Cheng Zimu was squatting on the ground and was busy, sweating profusely, a simple swing came into view, Xiao Li ran over quickly, Cheng Zimu was fixing the last screw.

Xiaoli pulled his arm, shook it and asked him, "Cheng Zimu, Cheng Zimu, where did you get it, you are so amazing!"

Cheng Zimu wiped the sweat from his face, "How can I have such a big ability, it was the driver's uncle who helped me get it, and I just put the finishing touches on it." ”

"That's also great, Cheng Zimu, hurry, I'm going to swing, you push me, come on, come on." Xiaoli pulled Cheng Zimu, and his voice was pleasant.

The swing is just in the middle of the two grape trellises, blocking most of the sun, Xiao Li sat up and grabbed the rope with both hands, the swing is not high, but it is very strong, Xiao Li sat on the swing, Cheng Zimu stood behind him, gently pushed her out, Xiao Li cheered a little higher, a little higher.

The summer sun shines through the gap of the grape trellis on the young man's forehead full of fine sweat, shining on the girl's flying hair, flashing and flashing, like a light and jumping note, Cheng Zimu's hand is gently placed on Xiaoli's back, every time he touches, he will feel his heart tremble, the smile on his face is gentle, he feels that Xiaoli's smile is more brilliant than this summer sunshine.

After lunch and taking a shower, Cheng Zimu walked into the room with ice cream, Xiao Li had fallen asleep on the sofa, he was obviously tired from the crazy play in the morning, he put the ice cream in the refrigerator, walked to the sofa and squatted, stretched out his hand, and picked up her small body, maybe because he didn't have much strength, he didn't pick it up for the first time, Xiao Li twisted a little, and continued to sleep, Cheng Zimu took a deep breath, picked her up again, and carefully put her on a small bed in the room, there was a small pink table next to the bed, and a curtain was installed on the bed, Cheng Zimu covered the thin summer cool quilt for her, and adjusted the air conditioning temperature of the room to a suitable temperature, turning to another cot opposite.

In fact, he left yesterday afternoon, and most of the busy night was decorating this bed and arranging the swing.

"Xiaoli, I just want to be able to accompany you more and make you happier, at least before leaving, I can see your smiling face every day. ”

When Xiao Li opened her eyes in a daze, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, she sat up and looked around, only to find that she was lying on the bed, she got out of bed, stood on the side of the bed, and only reacted after a while, it turned out that Cheng Zimu said before that it was true to add a bed in the room, she subconsciously hugged her arm, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she didn't even notice it, the little throbbing in her heart.

She hung the curtains on both sides of the bed, folded the thin quilt, and looked for slippers everywhere barefoot, but found that the room did not have her own flip-flops, she pushed open the door and went downstairs barefoot, thinking that she should be on a lunch break at this time, and no one was in the living room, but when she went downstairs, Xiaoli could never forget the scene at that time.

She was wearing loose short-sleeved shorts, barefoot, her hair was messy, yawning, and before she could stand still, she heard her father's angry roar "Zhang Xiaoli!"

Xiaoli was shocked, her feet were empty, and the whole person was about to roll down the stairs, she lamented loudly, "Oh, don't hurt my little face like a flower!" She closed her eyes in resignation, but found that she stopped steadily in mid-air, Xiaoli frowned and opened her eyes, Cheng Zimu wrapped his hands around her waist and protected her in his arms, Xiaoli's face was flushed, she hurriedly pushed Cheng Zimu away, looked at the people standing behind Cheng Zimu, the living room was full of heads, and the brain was short-circuited in an instant, the living room was quiet and scary, everyone looked at her, there was curiosity, disgust, surprise, and Zhang's father's angry face, Cheng's grandmother's snickering face, and many, many, many, many, faces she didn't recognize, what's the situation, God, who will tell her, which cellar these people are from, Many soldiers in military uniforms sat on the sofa and turned back, as well as a few officers from yesterday, looking at her with twitching faces, and a group of boys and girls who looked at the same age as him, and many men and women in suits and leather shoes, and noble clothes, and Cheng Zimu's parents were also there.

Xiao Li slowly stretched out his hand, pinched his face hard, and instantly exclaimed in pain, Cheng Zimu stepped forward and took her hand, "Fan, what a fool, go back and change your clothes, go." ”。

Xiaoli cried with a sad face, and his voice whimpered, "My shoes, Chengzimu, I don't have shoes, my flip-flops, it's all your fault, take my shoes, lose the dead, ah, my first name!"

"You don't have a name, you're a personal name, hurry up, go back to your room." ”

Xiaoli's complaining voice disappeared on the second floor, Cheng Zimu pulled her into the room, and the living room instantly became lively again, Zhang's father looked at Cheng Zimu's parents helplessly and shook his head, smiling awkwardly, but Cheng Zimu's mother looked at the direction in which the two left, her eyes flashed, and her face was full of smiles.

Xiao Li hugged his legs and buried his head on the sofa, Cheng Zimu took out the clothes from the closet and handed them to her, Xiao Li raised his head and glared at Cheng Zimu viciously, "Laugh, laughing fart, Cheng Zimu, you deliberately made me ugly, see how I clean you up." After speaking, he was about to stand up, Cheng Zimu held her down with a smile, "Okay, change your clothes quickly, and when the banquet is over, I will leave it to you." ”

"What a banquet, I don't know. Xiao Li asked while pulling at his clothes. a1d33d0dfec820

"Today is Grandpa's birthday, didn't Uncle Zhang tell you, I thought you remembered, so I stayed at my house today. ”

Oh my God, it's ridiculous, I was furious, how would I know, I've been upset lately, no one told me, my dad didn't even mention it! Isn't this a pit person, the people in the living room just now are either rich or expensive, and there are so many soldiers of the Republic, this face has been thrown to Mars, this is really my father!

"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal, no one cares about children. Cheng Zimu smiled, and the old god said

"You're just a child, this girl is 15 years old, and she will be a high school student soon, and this is going to be in the past, and you will get married and have a son at the age of 15. Xiao Li said breathlessly.

Chengzi Mu rang for a moment, did not answer, and said while opening the door, "You hurry up and clean up, I will introduce friends to you, you must like them." ”

Xiao Li snorted arrogantly, as the door closed, she slowly put on her clothes, to be honest, she was not used to wearing skirts, and she wore them once after graduating from elementary school, she looked at the white dress in her hand, round neck ruffles, and a circle of small pearls at the hem, it was very expensive to look at, Xiao Li pouted, and put the skirt on in annoyance, but was pleasantly surprised to find that this was a culotte, and the inside of the dress turned out to be a culotte, and her heart was sweet, she muttered in a low voice, "You have a heart, know my preferences, hum, let you go this time." ”

Put on the skirt, and put on the small pink leather shoes prepared by Cheng Zimu, Xiao Li stood in front of the dressing mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, I don't know why, I always feel unaccustomed, but she is not unfamiliar, she combed the hair of the ears neatly, hung on the ears, sandwiched a flower-shaped hairpin, patted the face, let yourself be more energetic, walked to the table of Cheng Zimu, naturally opened the drawer, took out a light blue lipstick inside, and gently smeared it, Xiao Li in front of him did not have the casual and sloppy appearance of the past, but looked fresh and cute, he was a little proud, Xiao Li opened the door and walked to the living room on the first floor。

Xiao Li, who appeared again, didn't cause much of a sensation, only a few people whispered, she quietly walked up to Grandpa Cheng, and bent down respectfully, "Grandpa Cheng, happy birthday!"

Grandpa Cheng smiled, and before he could speak, there was a chuckle next to him, Cheng Zimu lowered his head, his shoulders trembled, and he raised his eyes to see Xiao Li pretending to be a lady with a serious face, and couldn't help laughing, Xiao Li glared at him viciously, and he had already scolded him ninety-nine eighty-one times in his heart.

Cheng Zimu's mother, Xia Qian, took Xiao Li's hand and pulled her to sit down beside her, "Xiao Li, do you remember me, my aunt hugged you when I was a child, oops, I've grown so big, I'm a big girl, and I'm getting more and more beautiful." ”

"Thank you, Auntie. Xiao Li replied shyly, and glanced at Cheng Zimu who was smiling on the side.

Laugh, laugh, laugh to death, I know you're going to laugh at me.

Zhang's father and Cheng Zimu's father gathered around a group of officers, talking and laughing, and glanced back at Xiaoli, his eyes flashed, not bad, Zimu, this kid, has a good vision.

After chatting with Cheng Zimu's mother, Xiao Li was pulled away by Cheng Zimu and came to the side hall on the other side of the living room, where a group of teenagers who looked fifteen or sixteen years old surrounded a table in the city, making noise.

Xiao Li stood in the middle of the crowd, smiling and coping, the ambiguity in everyone's eyes, and she blushed a little, but after thinking about it, no, this is my territory, how can I make others laugh, the heart is full of fighting spirit and temper As soon as it came up, Xiao Li spread out in an instant, followed the topic of everyone, and the hot discussion, Cheng Zimu looked at Xiao Li, who was sitting on the sofa laughing, and his eyes were full of warmth.

This group of friends who became Zimu in Beijing when they were teenagers, and when they returned to Beijing before, there were two sons and brothers who were also from military families, and they spoke with a taste of Beijing films, which made Xiaoli laugh.

They are all very curious about this small town girl who loves to laugh, and from time to time they joke with her and Cheng Zimu, Xiaoli is not stage frightened at all, and is generous, so that much later, Xiaoli at this time has become their reluctant nostalgia.
