11.Chapter 10
A fine and dense light rain drifted silently outside the window.
After nearly twenty hours of long-distance travel, Shen Xi lay on the table in the café and fell asleep groggyly.
I don't know how long it took, Shen Xi dimly saw a man sitting opposite, flipping through a magazine, a simple white shirt, the cuffs were slightly rolled up, and his ten fingers were slender.
"Xiao Jiang......" Shen Xi shouted.
"Huh?" The man opened his mouth elegantly, hooked his lips and smiled, "Miss Shen, what a coincidence." ”
It's Bai Ziyuan.
"Ah...... What a coincidence. Shen Xi gently touched his face with the back of his hand, it was wet, and he quickly wiped it.
Bai Ziyuan flipped through the magazine casually and said, "When I just came in, I saw that there was an empty opposite you, so I sat down, don't you mind?" Still thinking about your boyfriend? ”
Shen Xi snorted, in her dream, she returned to her youngest age, and the young man in white accompanied her, it turned out that at that time, it was so beautiful.
And when I woke up from the dream, the coffee was already cold.
Bai Ziyuan handed the menu to Shen Xi rather gentlemanly and said, "You have a treat." ”
"Huh?" Shen Xi rubbed his eyes, not completely awake yet.
"That handkerchief is expensive." Bai Ziyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "And I'm a good listener." ”
Shen Xi lowered his head and smiled, ordered a cup of coffee for himself, and handed the menu to Bai Ziyuan, who was very good at coffee, and then ordered a glass of lemonade.
What a weirdo. Shen Xi thought about it, and his eyes unconsciously swept to the column of dessert "chocolate cake", and finally filled a plate of muffins.
Chocolate is something to be eaten with Xiao Jiang.
Bai Ziyuan suddenly said: "The relationship between men and women is a kind of game theory, and the love model of one person leading and one person following is the Starkberg model, and it is difficult to achieve equilibrium in the long run. ”
Shen Xi took a sip of coffee, Bai Ziyuan said profoundly, but it was not difficult to understand, that was a question she had thought about repeatedly.
She followed Jiang Yan step by step, being his little tail, she used to be so cheerful, but after hiding that incident, no matter how good it was, she occasionally wondered if she had fallen into a one-sided illusion. I'm afraid that he doesn't love her enough, and I'm afraid that I'm not strong enough.
"Which of you two confessed first?"
Shen Xi turned the coffee cup and said with a smile: "It seems to be me...... It's like ......"
That's a young age that doesn't know anything at all.
==
In July, the hottest season in Jiangcheng, the results were announced.
Shen Xi was admitted to the high school of Jiangcheng Foreign Chinese Middle School with nearly the penultimate score.
As an outstanding student, Jiang Yan was selected by the school to go to the United States to participate in a summer exchange.
After that phone call, Shen Xi felt that Jiang Yan's attitude towards her seemed to have just improved, but Jiang Yan went to a summer camp in the United States for two whole months without contact.
Shen Xi soon fell into a low-pitched and irritable love because he couldn't talk about it.
Min Rou was the fastest to find out that something was wrong, but after asking Shen Xi for a long time, she couldn't ask anything, so she jokingly said: "Yo, it's only been a month, and I'm sick and miss you Brother Xiaojiang!" ”
Shen Xi was at the age when he couldn't joke the most, his face was as red as fire, and he ran out while shouting: "No, I hate Xiao Jiang anymore, I hate Xiao Jiang the most." We had a fight before! I'm still angry. ”
She ran out of the door in a panic, and as soon as she opened the door, she hit a solid wall, and when she raised her eyes, it was Jiang Yanzheng who was carrying a bag, standing by the door, her black eyes were flat, I don't know how long she had been standing there, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Seeing Shen Xi rushing out, he didn't mean to give way, so he leaned against the wall lazily, with a vague smile on the corner of his lips: "It's quite big." ”
Shen Xi turned his head and snorted.
I haven't seen him for two months, Jiang Yan seems to have grown a little taller, his hair has grown a little longer, the fine bangs are placed in front of his forehead, the long-grown facial features are becoming more and more deep and three-dimensional, and the light charm between the eyebrows neutralizes the rather angular facial features.
He looks like a good child.
"Hmph." Shen Xi snorted heavily, it's really annoying, she hasn't grown much for half a year, so she is so short that Xiao Jiang is almost a head.
"Well, for you." Jiang Yan handed the plainly packaged bag to Shen Xi, without any intention of continuing to greet him, he said hello to Min Rou and walked back.
Shen Xi grabbed the bag and chased it out two steps and asked, "Did you just come back?" ”
"Hmm."
"Why don't you come in and sit down?" Shen Xi asked with a wink.
"No, lest someone hate me when they see me." Jiang Yan put his hand in his trouser pocket and walked towards his house.
Who is more temperamental, ah, hey, I can't tell it's a joke from the voice! Shen Xi thought angrily, but he still "watched" him leave.
It was only three steps away, and as soon as Jiang Yan left, Shen Xi lowered his head and opened the bag, which contained various packages of various brands of American chocolate, which should have been collected by Jiang Yan during the summer camp. Shen Xi's heart warmed, and before he ate it, he felt sweet.
Even if she relies on her childhood sweetheart's friendship, Xiao Jiang at least doesn't hate her, right?
It was night, holding a big bag of chocolates, Shen Xi couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, and dialed Jiang Yan's phone again.
Jiang Yan's voice was still faint: "What? ”
"Xiao Jiang, why did you give me chocolate?" Shen Xi took the microphone and wanted to listen to something nice.
"Because I don't eat it."
Shen Xi choked and asked anxiously, "Is there really no other reason?" ”
"Probably because you ......," Jiang Yan paused.
Shen Xi's breathing became a little shorter, and a feather floated on the tip of his heart. Jiang Yancai on the other end of the earpiece said slowly: "Probably because you are very good at eating." ”
The feather turned into a big stone and sank.
"I didn't ...... There's no other reason, right? ”
The young man was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice sank a little deeper: "Shen Xi, I have something on my mind." ”
"I have something on my mind, too." Shen Xi muttered.
In the quiet midnight, Jiang Yan's voice was like flowing water: "What is on your mind?" ”
"I'm ......," Shen Xi opened his lips. There is only one thing on her mind in the past two months, but in such an environment, she can't say anything, she knows that Xiao Jiang's heart seems to be much bigger than hers. "Jiang Yan, tell me about yours."
"Shen Xi, have you ever thought about what we, or yourself, will become in ten years?"
Shen Xi was stunned, ten years later? She didn't even think about a year's time, a month's time, a day's time, and she often only thought about what would happen in ten minutes.
Hungry. It's time to do your homework. It's time to sleep...... And so on and so forth.
"I ...... I want to think about it......" Shen Xi hurriedly hung up the phone.
Shen Xi paced back and forth in the house, and couldn't think of what kind of person she would become in ten years, she only thought about it at most, and was still with Xiao Jiang.
Shen Xi opened the curtains, the light on the opposite side was still on, and Jiang Yan was sitting at the desk, holding his chin, reading a very thick book.
She thought, that was probably Jiang Yan's mind?
Jiang Yan flipped through the architectural design yearbook he brought back from the United States and flipped to the dawn. At the age of sixteen, I was alone for the first time, I saw the outside world, and a little childhood dream slowly revived and grew from the bottom of my heart.
He went to a summer camp, and the young architect he had liked for a long time came to give a lecture about dreams, about growth.
Jiang Yan suddenly had a little selfishness, he wanted to go to the United States, he wanted to study architecture, he didn't want to inherit the Jiang family's career so simply.
He wanted to go to the United States, and that was a shortcut to his dream faster.
When returning to China, Jiang Yan first went back to the Jiang family's old house and played a game of chess with his grandfather.
He showed no mercy and won quickly.
The old man smiled and said, "If you are really young and dare to fight, forget it, get out, while I haven't left, while your father is still young." ”
Jiang Changhuai seemed to have been prepared for this, and only said: "A year later, after one year of high school in the United States, you can still take the college entrance examination in the United States. ”
Xu Li was not very relieved, thinking that Jiang Yan would be younger when he went out in a year.
But things as a whole were much smoother than he had imagined, and no one questioned them.
Only he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He's gone, what about Shen Xi?
They were still very young, and it was impossible for him to pull Shen Xi away because of his reckless and ethereal dreams. But he was gone, a year later, two years later......
Did they become strangers?
It wasn't much cooler in September, school started. Shen Xi and Jiang Yan were finally no longer in the same class. When Jiang Yan was directly promoted, he entered the 1st class of the Ossai class, and Shen Xi was in the 7th class of the ordinary class.
Class 1 and Class 7 are separated by a long corridor, and Class 1 is at the innermost, but there are always little girls who go to Class 1 to visit the door, or hang around by the window, and Shen Xi is one of them.
One day, Jiang Yan went to the next 7th class and threw Shen Xi's homework book on her desk.
A burst of whistles and cheers awaited him.
Shen Xi's face turned red to the root of his ears.
Jiang Yan was gone, her friends were still making trouble, and Shen Xi was restless there. Xiao Jiang's heart seems to be getting heavier and heavier, they often meet, but she took the initiative to find him. When he speaks, it is as if he has been separated by a layer of fog.
But Jiang Yan no longer mentioned his thoughts.
If he didn't mention it, she couldn't guess at all.
Jiang Yan's heart is indeed getting heavier and heavier, his grandfather's health is not very good, and Jiang Changhuai is going home later and later. The real estate and economic shape of the entire Jiangcheng are somewhat delicate. And he wanted to see Shen Xi more and more, and he was more and more afraid of seeing Shen Xi.
Qin Sheng, who was sitting next to him, saw that he was in a daze, and jokingly stabbed him: "Yo, went to class 7 to find your girlfriend?" ”
Jiang Yan glanced at him and said lightly: "She's not my girlfriend." ”
What he said was objective facts, but what Shen Xi, who came to find Jiang Yan, heard subjective emotions.
Just wanted to take a step back, but the schoolbag on his back hit the wall uncontrollably, and with a bang, Jiang Yan and Qin Sheng both looked over, Shen Xi had no choice but to smile and say to Qin Sheng: "That's it, it's not a girlfriend, don't talk nonsense." ”
Jiang Yan turned her head to look at Shen Xi, she smiled heartily, showing two small tiger teeth, as if she was ...... It really didn't seem like anything had happened, and he asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”
Shen Xi snorted at Qin Sheng and said, "Well, I'm telling you that if the real thing falls to you in the future, you will let Qin Sheng return me, but I have hired a professional tutor for me, and I won't trouble you more in the future, so as not to misunderstand that I like you." ”
In the last sentence, Shen Xi bit extraordinarily hard.
Jiang Yan squinted at Shen Xi, the little girl's acting skills have improved a lot, but her eyes still blink hard when she lies, even if she knows, Jiang Yan feels sullen in her heart.
It's really hard to do.
Qin Sheng looked at the faces of the two people, and was about to slip away: "No misunderstanding, no misunderstanding, you talk, you talk." Ha ha. ”
Shen Xi said with a grin: "After chatting, I'll leave." ”
She ran fast, but forgot that Jiang Yan and she were on the same road, and when they were riding, the two of them met again. Fortunately, the night was dark and he rode fast, and no one could see anyone's expression, Shen Xi's chatterbox seemed to have exploded, and he kept chattering all the way:
"Hahahaha Xiaojiang, why did Qin Sheng say such strange things, isn't it so strange."
"I thought that the people in our class liked to make fools, but I didn't expect you Ossaiban to be too, ah, don't be angry, everyone is just talking nonsense."
"You said we've known each other for many years, and we've even seen the appearance of bedwetting, how is that possible, isn't it?"
Jiang Yan finally interjected: "We were both five years old when we met, and I only saw you wet the bed." "Still peeing on his bed......
Shen Xi was embarrassed, and said arrogantly with a stiff voice: "Yes, yes, you have seen me wet the bed, how can you like me?" Hahaha. ”
Jiang Yan was silent, and the wind in Jiangcheng kept blowing, making Shen Xi's eyes hurt unconsciously.
Riding on the Jiangcheng Bridge, which has the largest wind, Jiang Yan replied to Shen Xi: "But you haven't seen me wet the bed......"
"If you don't wet the bed, you can't afford it." Shen Xi muttered, his voice was a little vague, and after thinking about it, he finally understood what Jiang Yan meant.
There are two kinds of people she hates the most in her life: the first person who is good at logic, the second person who is good at mathematics, and the third person who is good at logic and good at mathematics. The "pretense" of the past two or three months was all thrown away, and he glared at Jiang Yan viciously: "Phew, I don't like you!" ”
The wind blows, "I don't like you!" That sentence clearly came into Jiang Yan's ears, but he smiled shallowly, and the lights of the city came into his eyes.
It's good-looking.
"Shen Xi, can you wait for me?"
The wind was so loud that Shen Xi didn't hear what Jiang Yan said at all, so he only turned around and shouted: "Okay......"
