Xia Zhiqiu felt that his room was full of dust, the whole tone was too dull, the air was so turbid, and when he turned on the air conditioner, it was just a compilation of frozen dust.

Xia Zhiqiu felt as messy as this room.

The bottom of the bed was covered with dust, the sheets were covered with hair, and she felt out of breath, and suddenly pushed open the window, and the heat poured in.

The sun outside was scorching brightly.

Xia Zhiqiu turned off the air conditioner, put on a mask, began to remove the mosquito net and sheets, threw them into the washing machine, and then found the vacuum cleaner and disassembled the bed board, the heavy dust made her frown, wearing a mask was a rational decision.

The sound of the vacuum cleaner engine sounded in the scorching air, Xia Zhiqiu cleaned up numbly, his forehead and neck were already covered with sweat, but instead he sweated profusely to dissipate heat, and there was no such stuffy feeling.

Sweat was about to drown his eyelashes, Xia Zhiqiu took off his glasses and wiped the sweat with his clothes.

She remembered the "soup cake", a kind of summer food of the ancients, no air conditioning, no fan, can not take the cool, so she researched a food, after eating it will sweat profusely, the heat of the body will dissipate, Xia Zhiqiu used to doubt whether it is feasible, but at the moment she is sitting in the dusty room in the sun, although she is soaked, but not as hot as summer.

Why don't you go online and see if there are any "soup cakes" to buy? It occurred to her that she had thought of this. But after looking at the messy surroundings, I decided to continue to vacuum cleanup.

Why is there so much dust in this world?

Especially under the bed, that is the most meaningless place to clean, usually not used, but it keeps accumulating dust, even if there are people even if they don't sweep the floor every day, there may not be such a thick dust, and obviously there is a bed block, the dust still keeps pouring in, this time it is cleaned, and there will be a lot of it soon.

Xia Zhiqiu was helpless while moving the vacuum cleaner, but she was already riding a tiger and had to clean it up.

As the bed board was lifted a little bit, and moved over a little bit, Xia Zhiqiu moved the bed board as if he was playing with building blocks, and then revealed the floor under the bed.

There was not only dust under the bed, but also various hair rings and shelves, Xia Zhiqiu was depressed, so he had to bend down and pick it up, his fingers were covered with dust, and the dust was attached to the object, which once made Xia Zhiqiu want to throw it directly into the trash can, but he still held back and threw it into a small box, intending to clean it later.

It was almost cleaned to the floor at the end of the bed, as if something was stuck in the mouth of the vacuum cleaner, and there was a muttering sound, Xia Zhiqiu turned off the clerk, picked up the vacuum nozzle to check, and a post-it note was stuck on it.

'Familiar with the horizontal coordinates and always want coordinates of the map of life, once encountering an emergency, you can immediately find the correct positioning, and point out the next direction for yourself! ’

The post-it notes were dusty, and the handwriting was twisted but powerful, especially the exclamation point at the end.

Xia Zhiqiu sighed unconsciously, she looked up at the vacant position of the prompt board in front of the desk, it turned out that it had fallen, but she didn't notice it, and it was even covered with dust, even if it didn't fall down, she didn't look up at the reminder written by her rational self on the notice board at all.

Xia Zhiqiu can even feel lost in her room, she doesn't remember how many wishes and thoughts she had, she doesn't remember how many attempts and decisions she has made, even if she writes it down in black and white, everything will still disappear in this narrow labyrinth.

Xia Zhiqiu looked at his dusty hands, the gray and black colors were blurred, and the feeling of stickiness and greasy was very uncomfortable.

Xia Zhiqiu didn't move for a while, she didn't know what to do with this post-it note, she just blew the soot and then glued it, so it was estimated that it would fall off again soon and I don't know where to go. Do you have to copy it again and glue it back on?

But was you still in the mood to write these tips at the time?

What cannot be replicated is the hope for the future in the present, the optimism that hopes that the difficulties encountered by oneself can prompt oneself to act.

Xia Zhiqiu asked herself, she had long since lost this mood.

Ding Dong Ding Dong, the doorbell rang, Xia Zhiqiu stood in his room, looking at the door of the house through the open door, who was ringing the doorbell?

Is it the child in the next room playing outside the security door in the lobby again?

Xia Zhiqiu thought that if she ignored the doorbell and stopped herself, it would usually be those nasty children.

So she threw the post-it note into the small box and continued to start the vacuum cleaner, the motor roaring, but the doorbell was still ringing.

Xia Zhiqiu sighed, turned off the vacuum cleaner, threw it aside, and walked out of the door barefoot, she didn't pick up the matching doorbell and phone bell by the door, her house was on the first floor, so she opened the wooden door directly, and looked out through the security door, the summer air was distorted, and the sweat of her eyelashes blurred her glasses, Xia Zhiqiu suddenly felt that the person standing outside the hollow iron door was a little familiar.

She opened the lock and pushed open the iron door of the house, and at the same time it seemed that someone outside had also returned, and with a click, the lock in the lobby outside was also opened, and a few annoying children jumped in with a few adults, and for a while that person came in with the crowd and was hidden in the crowd.

Xia Zhiqiu looked around, and the group of returning owners happened to meet the elevator door opening, and suddenly a large group of people poured in, and the chatter of children disappeared with the sound of the elevator door closing.

Lu Antong appeared in front of Xia Zhiqiu against the light.

Xia Zhiqiu was full of surprise, but her glasses and mask covered her emotions, and the air conditioner behind her poured out.

"Is it cooler to go barefoot?" Lu Antong said lightly.

Xia Zhiqiu subconsciously looked at his bare feet, and then thought that he was covered in ashes, sweating profusely, and his hair was tied up casually, and the Liuhai in front of him was even more useless, and it was a social embarrassment like a landslide, but the mask hid all this, and it seemed that Xia Zhiqiu had been silent.

Seeing that Xia Zhiqiu didn't answer, Lu Antong took another step forward, and Xia Zhiqiu took a step back in horror.

Lu Antong smiled helplessly when he saw this, so he had to stand still and not move.

"Well, that, how did you know I lived here?" Xia Zhiqiu finally spoke up.

"It's on the contact list, and it's a phone number, and it doesn't seem like the school is doing a good job of protecting privacy," Lu explained.

Xia Zhiqiu only listened, her eyes fled, and she didn't make a sound, her hands were intertwined with her fists, and she felt uncomfortable.

"Xia Zhiqiu, I came today to apologize to you." Lu Antong's words clearly fell on Xia Zhiqiu's ears.

Xia Zhiqiu raised his eyes and looked at Lu Antong, Lu Antong stood in the sunlight thrown in outside, looking very serious, today is a refreshing and natural black hair, without any styling, wearing an ordinary T-shirt, just like an ordinary bright teenager, his face is also gentle and kind, not at all like his usual uninhibited appearance.

Xia Zhiqiu frowned suspiciously, unable to figure out the current situation for a while.

"I took it upon myself that day to get you involved in something that had nothing to do with you, you looked bad that day, I was worried, so I wanted to come and see you today, I don't want to lose you as a friend." Lu Antong seems to have a good attitude.

But Xia Zhiqiu has no experience in accepting an apology, and he doesn't know how to answer. As she considered how to answer, she took off her mask, revealing a red face stained with sweat, and a mark that seemed to have been pressed under her eye.

Lu Antong looked at Xia Zhiqiu, who had a messy face, took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to Xia Zhiqiu.

Xia Zhiqiu lowered his head and took it, took out a tissue, and printed the sweat on his face and forehead.

Lu Antong didn't urge, and waited quietly, but Xia Zhiqiu's posture of lowering his head, his red ears, and his ruddy cheeks made Lu Antong lose his mind for a while.

Xia Zhiqiu thought about how to answer, but didn't notice that Lu Antong's eyes had been locked on him.

As soon as she raised her head, she met Lu Antong, who was looking at her, and Xia Zhiqiu was a little flustered for a while.

Lu Antong looked away a little awkwardly, and said something again: "Is it cleaning today?" ”

Xia Zhiqiu nodded, and then thought about accepting Lu Antong's apology, but Lu Antong had a new move.

Lu Antong took out a book from his backpack and handed it to Xia Zhiqiu: "It seems to be very insincere to apologize to me, so I brought a book and wanted to send you to make amends." ”

Xia Zhiqiu wanted to refuse and say that it didn't matter, but he was surprised when he saw the book.

It was Jimmy's "Magic Failed", which had been placed in Xia Zhiqiu's shopping cart, but because it was more expensive, he was reluctant to place an order.

"How do you know I want this?"

Lu Antong smiled mischievously: "Hmm~ I guess, if you like it, this is the original, it's very commemorative." ”

Xia Zhiqiu wanted to take the book, but gritted his teeth and held back.

"I accepted the apology, but I can't ask for this book, it's too expensive." Xia Zhiqiu explained.

"That's right." Lu Antong seemed to be thinking, "Are you really not angry with me?" ”

Xia Zhiqiu nodded vigorously.

"But I've already read this one." Lu Antong seemed to be brewing some dialogue, "Otherwise, you can exchange a book with me." Lu Antong's smile was bright and natural.

"Swap? But I don't have such an expensive book. Xia Zhiqiu responded.

"The price is just the speculation of the commodity economy in the market, and the two sides reach a consensual exchange, which is an equivalent exchange. By the way, I haven't watched "Blue Stone" yet, I heard that the process is a little sad, and I haven't watched it, are you willing to exchange this with me? Lu Antong asked with a smile.

Xia Zhiqiu looked at Lu Antong in surprise.

"Why, don't you think it's worth it?" Lu An asked with a smile.

Xia Zhiqiu hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I'm just curious, how do you know that I have this book?" ”

Lu Antong's smile was still bright: "Hmm~ I guess, how about it, are you willing?" ”

Today is the great heat, the outdoor temperature is as high as 37 degrees, fortunately, there is some wind in the lobby, Xia Zhiqiu's hair is alternately floated by the hot air coming in and the cool breeze of the air conditioner behind him, and the thoughts in his head are also up and down, and Lu Antong is like a brightly colored comic cover, which makes people want to have it, and then in confusion, he actually nodded shyly, and his red face expressed the dialogue I was willing to have.

Lu Antong smiled even brighter: "Come, take "Magic Failed", so that Xia Zhiqiu will not fail." ”

Xia Zhiqiu obediently took over the malfunctioning book, and his self, which had been out of order for a long time, seemed to be starting indiscriminately.
