Chapter 115: Longing

Steaming meals are served on the table by the floor-to-ceiling windows. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the two people sitting at the dining table facing each other can only see each other's somewhat blurred faces through the hot air. But even so, Zhang Zhou easily found Li Ai's red and swollen eyes. Although, she had tried to keep her head down as hard as she could.

The sticking chopsticks out of the water stagnated in the heat and was taken back before he could touch his favorite food. He put down his chopsticks and stared straight at the petite figure on the other side with his head down, taking small bites, eating like a cat. He had planned to wait for her to feel a little better before asking her that question. However, it seems that it is better to ask as soon as possible. He didn't see her crying, but what was it that her eyes were red like this, not crying? It will make her cry like this, and she must be asked as soon as possible.

Thinking like this, he subconsciously considered his words for a while, and then spoke to Li Ai across the table. "Did something happen? Li Ai? His sudden inquiry made Li Ai, who had his head down, stiffen, which made him easily understand that he had guessed correctly. So, without waiting for Li Ai to answer, he spoke again, "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”

And Li Ai, who heard his question, didn't know what to think, buried his head lower, and his entire face was completely covered by the falling hair. But he was silent all the time and did not answer Zhang Zhou's question. Zhang Zhou never gave up, kept watching her, waiting for her answer.

After a long time, it was not until the food on the table was no longer steaming that Li Aifang raised his head again, stretched out his chopsticks, and took a piece of Zhang Zhou's favorite braised chicken nuggets and put it in his bowl. During this process, her eyes kept lowering, but she never looked at Zhang Zhou.

"It's nothing ......" she buried her head and took a small bite of the chicken, but she never heard the sound of Zhang Zhou moving her chopsticks. She was silent, swallowed the food in her mouth, and continued, "It's just that I've seen too many people who resemble Midorihime lately, and it reminds me of Midorihime......"

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head again, and took small bites to deal with the half-eaten chicken nuggets, but the taste that was originally good now became like chewing wax. She once again uses Midorihime to conceal and deceive him, and this behavior makes her feel disgusted with her again. Although this time, she clearly felt the deep guilt for him that filled her heart. However, in her opinion, this is just the kind of desire that fills her heart, and she makes it out in order to make her feel at ease.

Although he knew that the explanation she gave was not credible, Zhang Zhou still withdrew his gaze from staring at Li Ai, picked up the chopsticks again, sandwiched a piece of chicken, put it in his rice bowl, and buried himself in nibbling on it. She didn't want to say that no matter how much he asked, he wouldn't get an answer. His lowered eyes fluctuated slightly, and many thoughts intertwined in the depths of his pupils, and finally condensed into a single thought. Even if she didn't tell him what was going on, he had to help her as much as he could to make her feel better. Because, they are companions.

The meal was finished in such a silent atmosphere. Looking at the thin back of Li Ai, who wiped the table and then went to the kitchen with the tableware, Zhang Zhou frowned a little distressedly. The idea is beautiful and the reason is powerful, but the question is, what should be done?

Although he knew how to comfort people, he didn't know what was going on at all, and at most he could only use some empty clichés to comfort her. And such clichés will only arouse Li Ai's disgust. What's more, Li Ai is actually a very stubborn girl in her bones, if you really comfort her, the result is likely to be counterproductive...... It's better to be a little more normal.

Conversation as usual, communication as usual...... That's it...... Wait, this won't work! If it does, nothing will change. Because, the way they usually communicate is simply silence! There is no topic to talk about, and there is no desire to talk to each other, so that the only thing left is silence. Such silence may not be a problem in normal times, but at this time, in front of the effect he wants to achieve, it will not work at all.

If you want to make her feel better, you need to take her attention off the things that make her sad. And to do this, you need a medium, this medium is communication, and communication needs topics, but is there really a topic that can make him talk about it with her for a long time? Zhang Zhou hugged his head and thought hard......

And when Li Ai took off her apron and returned to the living room, her eyes inadvertently swept over Zhang Zhou, who was sitting at the dining table, staring at something on the table with a solemn face. As if hearing her footsteps, he raised his eyes and looked over. Before he could lift her eyes, she looked away at him and into the beautiful, deep sky beyond the open curtains.

"Li Ai......" She heard him calling her name. She hesitated for a moment, then silently looked back at his face with the idea that she didn't want him to care too much about her wrong, so she clung to it, and finally had to find a reason. It's just that if you pay attention to observation, you will find that although her eyes are facing Zhang Zhou, her gaze is slightly offset, and what is reflected in her pupils is actually only half of Zhang Zhou's body.

However, Zhang Zhou didn't notice this, because at this time, he was working hard to implement his plan. "Li Ai," he called her name again, and pressed his finger to the books on the table, "can you teach me math and English?" ”

"Huh?" His words made Li Ai a little surprised, but for a while he turned his gaze back and stared at Zhang Zhou blankly. was stared at by her like this, but Zhang Zhou scratched his head a little embarrassed. He thought about it for a long time, if he wanted her to divert her attention, it was best to let her talk more, and the only one who could do it quietly might be the only one she was good at and he was not good at learning. What's more, he has actually been looking forward to such a thing for a long time.

I don't know when he started to feel like he couldn't leave her. However, the college entrance examination that was close at hand forced him step by step. After the college entrance examination, they are likely to be separated. He will stay in the city, and she will most likely be far away, after all, the chains that bind her have been severed by him......

So, even if it's just a little bit, he wants to have the ability to stand side by side with her in the last time he is counting down to her all the time. Although he was destined to stay in the city, at least, he had the ability to go to the same place as her. Even if it takes a lot of time and energy to achieve such a useless goal, he will not hesitate to do so.

Maybe in this life, there is only one thing that can make him do it regardless of the cost and the consequences...... However, he obviously cared about her like this, and he obviously realized that as long as he thought a little more, he could understand what kind of feelings he had, but he didn't feel the slightest......

Looking at Zhang Zhou, who was sitting at the dining table, looking at her with his head up, waiting for the answer she gave, the sluggishness and dismayed in Li Ai's eyes slowly faded, and the eyes that were still red and swollen lowered down, and she was silent for a long time before she answered in a low voice, "Okay." ”

After he disappeared, she often recalled that time. By the floor-to-ceiling window, which was a little cold, they buried their heads together, looked through different books, and thought about different questions with different purposes. From time to time, he looked up and put question after question in front of her. And she lowered her head and answered them one by one quietly.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows without curtains, she can see a small half of the bustling city that has been transformed into various beautiful shapes by the changing weather, and as long as she looks up, she can take in the beautiful scenery. But she didn't look up, and he didn't look at it.

The emotions contained in Zhang Zhou's eyes that she saw before she agreed should never be forgotten in this life. It was his vision, an ethereal vision, a vision he knew would not come true. Although she didn't know what was in that vision, she could sense that there was her presence there. So, she agreed with mixed feelings that even she didn't quite understand. So, she was in the quagmire of that kind of affection, and her feet were deep in the mud. I can't pull out anymore, and I don't want to pull out......

In this state, time passed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Sunday evening. The world outside the floor-to-ceiling windows has been shrouded in dusk, and the shops on the streets have begun to light up in colorful neon colors before the dark tentacles reach out, and the city is dyed in beautiful colors.

Among these colors, a touch of green came out of Zhang Zhou's school. When he walked out of the school gate, the green stagnated for a moment, revealing a delicate face under the dim light of the door, it was Moyin Bao'er.

She stopped at the entrance of the school, shrouded in dim light, and turned her head slightly, focusing on a certain floor of the school building that had turned into a deep shadow in the night, and her eyes wandered, revealing a shallow smile.

"I ...... Boa ...... Come over your life...... Wang Yue ......" She murmured softly, her eyes full of water.

"In this life, I will still be by your side...... In this life, your name is Wang Yue, and my name is ...... It's called Yang Bao'er ......"
