A world without sound
Luo Xi was having dinner with Qin Pei, talking and laughing.
Lin Ziheng's arrival made her smile stiffen, and she picked up the rice bowl and got up, "I'll go serve the rice." ”
"Are you upsetting the girl?" Qin Pei winked at him like an old naughty child, "The girl is going to coax, it's up to you to do it." ”
"Don't worry, master. Lin Ziheng put down his backpack and followed him into the kitchen, his back to his figure was as cold as frost, with a tough attitude that no one should approach.
"Roshi, are you mad at me?"
She took two spoonfuls of rice and didn't answer.
"If you're angry, I apologize to you. ”
She said lukewarmly: "Mr. Lin's apology, I can't afford it." ”
"Don't be like this, let's have a good talk, okay?" he grabbed her arm, his expression serious.
"Let's talk about it. Luo Xi put the bowl in his hand on the cooking table, "Tell me first, what is your relationship with Lu Sheng?"
He thought for a moment before answering, "We used to be comrades-in-arms, and at that time, the terrifying 'ghost team' in the special forces, he was the captain, and I was the deputy team." ”
"You've known about our relationship for a long time, haven't you?"
That's why he said that day that he didn't care about her past, he only wanted her present and future.
He nodded, "Yes, because I checked you." ”
"Because of the grudge between you and Lu Sheng, you deliberately called me to your birthday party, and then made an intimate appearance, just to show Lu Sheng, right?" Speaking of this, her eyes were completely cold.
Lin Ziheng hurriedly denied it, "No, it's not what you think, none of what I said to you that day was false, let alone a show, although I wanted to be angry with Lu Sheng, but that was my previous plan, I just wanted to have you by my side on my birthday, Luo Xi, please believe me, I am definitely not using you." ”
She looked away, "How do you want me to trust you?"
He thought for a moment, then pulled out a chain from his pocket, "This, I always have this with me and want to return it to you." ”
"How could it be with you?" Seeing this jade pendant, Luo Xi was both surprised and delighted, but she did not expect her mother's relics to be lost, she held it in the palm of her hand, as if holding her mother's faint hope, she handed her this necklace when she left, and said to her: "Never take it off." ”
"I picked it up. He took her hand and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I've liked you since I first saw you, and others call it love at first sight, but I think it's fate." ”
Luo Xi felt the temperature of his palm, his breath was like a spring breeze, she didn't refuse his hug, he wrapped his arms around her shoulder, relieved, "Luo Xi, I'm scared, I'm afraid that you really ignore me." ”
"How could I ignore you, the work on the shooting gallery is not over yet. ”
He laughed, "I can't treat you as a cold joke." ”
Lin Ziheng took the initiative to take her rice bowl, "If you forgive me, leave me to eat." ”
Luo Xi pulled the bowl out of his hand and said angrily: "Anyway, there is still rice in the pot, you can eat it if you want." ”
"Then you forgive me?"
"I didn't say that. ”
When practicing at night, Lin Ziheng seemed to be deliberately looking for a fight, passive everywhere, Luo Xi was not polite, he originally used Tai Chi soft boxing to fight him, and then directly used the taekwondo of the bank, Lin Ziheng retreated while dodging, and he was only beaten and did not fight back, deliberately making her angry.
Roshi felt bored, and wanted to end it directly with a backspin kick, but he didn't think that he was defenseless, or he was sincerely beaten, Roshi's kick hit him in the head, although he blocked it with his arm, but he still took a solid kick, something jumped from his hair, bounced on the ground a few times and landed in front of Roshi, and the picture suddenly stopped.
******
"Have you ever sat on the roof and seen the stars?" Lin Ziheng stood on the ladder and turned to pull her.
The two climbed the ladder all the way to the roof, the courtyard in the suburbs, even the sky was brighter than in the city, and the sky was full of stars on a sunny night.
"That's the Big Dipper, that's Vega. Luo Xi pointed to the sky, accurately identifying each well-known constellation, Lin Ziheng followed his gaze, and said faintly: "Will you dislike me?"
She had tried her best to avoid this topic, and she didn't see what she saw just now, but Lin Ziheng still brought it up.
He skillfully put the hearing aid in his hand on his ears, and his hair hung down, perfectly covering the two flaws, "If I don't wear this, I can't hear any sound at all, and even if I wear it, I still have to use other people's mouth shapes to determine what the other party said." ”
Therefore, he always looks into the other person's eyes when he talks to people, in fact, he is observing the shape of the mouth, a few times before, she talked to him when he bowed his head, he didn't hear it, and she thought it was the reason why he was too focused.
"How did this happen?" the subject took on a heaviness, and she tried to pretend that nothing had happened, not wanting to hurt his self-esteem.
"When I was a soldier in the past, I was besieged by the enemy once, and although I escaped, my ear was injured, and then I did several surgeries, and the effect was not obvious, and I was not used to it at first, because the world without sound is like watching someone else's silent movie, I can't hear the sound of nature, I can't hear my favorite music, it's very quiet, it's terrifyingly quiet. When he said this, his eyes were covered with a thick layer of loneliness, as if he remembered the most difficult years.
Luo Xi patted his hand gently, and he took it into his arms, "You haven't answered me yet, will you dislike me as a cripple?"
Roshi shook his head and pointed to the sky, "Just like these stars, which one is smooth and complete, but they are still shining, and the brightest is not necessarily the most perfect, right?"
"And which star am I?" he asked with a smile.
"Whitefang. ”
"Whitefang, which one is that?" he really found in the sky.
Luo Xi laughed secretly on the side, and then he realized that he was being tricked by this little woman, so he took her hand and put it in his mouth and bit it, "Stinky girl, dare to play with me." ”
"Alas, how do you bite. ”
"It's you who bites. ”
"The white-toothed pig bites. She was about to run, he grabbed her into his arms, she looked at her a little helplessly, the starlight fell into her eyes, shining, he stared at her eyebrows seriously, "Roxi, do you want to try to accept me? ”
She looked at him for a moment, then finally looked away, "I ......"
"No matter what you're afraid of, I won't give up, so, give me a chance, and if you regret it, I'm always ready to let you go. ”
She thought about it for a long time, "Let me think about it. ”
"Okay, I won't force you, but I'll wait for you forever. ”
That night, they looked at the stars on the rooftop, talked a lot about each other's past, and talked about it until late at night.
