So the two of them didn't know on both sides, both sides were speculating, both sides were waiting and watching for a long time, and gradually the weather began to get cooler, and the fallen leaves in Shenyang were nearly a month earlier than in their hometown, just like a spring rain in spring that was green through the shade of the trees overnight, and the leaves in Shenyang were half yellow overnight.

Xia Zhi changed into a long-sleeved coat, I heard that Xiaoman went out to buy a few sets of clothes, the style is very simple, just like a high school student, Xia Solstice is questioning, is there any difference between college students and high school students in addition to school uniforms?

Then he was severely criticized by Liu Wu, how could he criticize the girl's clothes? Xia Zhi came to his senses, studied the girl's clothes carefully, and then took advantage of Xiaoman's birthday to send two dresses over, Xiaoman can be regarded as a college student.

In fact, girls like her who want to have a face, a figure, can sprinkle and sell cuteness, do housework, and learn knowledge don't have to care too much about clothes or anything, but Xia Zhi still wants her to be more dazzling after all, so that her heart will be much more comfortable.

However, he didn't know that this move made Xiao Man completely misunderstood, not long after the birthday dinner, Xiao Man looked at the two beautiful clothes in a daze, and became more and more sure that Xia Zhi had given up liking her, which was the prelude to being her brother to sell her, and then she stuffed the two clothes into the wardrobe angrily, still wearing her own young tooth style.

Here Xia Zhi saw that she was not wearing the clothes he bought, and his heart was half cold, it seems that he has worked hard for so long and still has not made much progress, and he bought two clothes that he thinks are very good, and no one wears them, or the things he gave Xiao Man didn't even want to look at it and passed it directly.

The misunderstanding just got deeper and deeper inexplicably, making both of them quite depressed.

Sometimes Xia Zhi will wonder if he should find a time to talk to Xiaoman, but he really doesn't understand what the girl is thinking in her heart, if the more you talk, the worse it gets, it will be completely over, and at this time he feels that he really needs to supplement all kinds of love knowledge.

First, I read a lot of romance novels, and when I saw Tu, I realized that most of these things were nonsense, but after the two articles he tried to write were published, he happily decided to continue to earn manuscript fees.

After that, the summer solstice that decided to start from the reality found catkins, light love, and cloud leaves, and began an all-round, multi-level, wide-angle tutoring action, of course, this kind of action is simply a manifestation of empathy in Xiaoman's view, after all, sitting together in the cafeteria and chatting happily, a man and a woman who occasionally whisper in a whisper, must think that it is not a couple, but it is fast...

So when Xia Zhi and Yun Ye and Qinglian were studying together, Yang Dong and Ma Liu would always follow them to eat at another table not far away, and the sound of their teeth clenching scared the freshmen with goosebumps all over their bodies.

After another month of studying, the leaves in the school have all turned yellow, and autumn has officially arrived.

The autumn in Shencheng became unusually empty, the gray haze was gone, blown away by the strong wind that came from the night, the sky was open and clear, and the white clouds wandered from the morning glow to the sunset on the blue sky. Of course, the delicacy of Nanhu is another look, with a little laziness, a little coolness, a little softness, and a large piece of romance.

So Xia Solstice decided to talk to Xiaoman in the old place he liked in Nanhu.

Xiaoman was shocked when he received the call from Xia Zhi, he hadn't received news from Xia Zhi for a long time, it was as if there was no restructured family relationship, the two of them were like they had never met, they usually didn't intersect, and they didn't contact each other, they were left in a school, and they looked at each other and smiled when they met by chance, and the embarrassment of passing by.

When he saw Xia Solstice in the cafeteria, he was always with those girls, and she knew Liu Wu, but the other two didn't say hello, and he didn't know which one was his new love, after all, the popularity of Xia Solstice in the girls' pile was not ordinarily high.

Xiao Man once thought about what he would do if Xia Zhi really looked for himself and told himself that he had given up and found another person to replace him, and he would be a brother and sister from now on? In her own thoughts, she couldn't face it calmly alone.

So when Xia Zhi was looking for her, she tossed and turned for half a night and didn't fall asleep, and finally thought of a way that was not a way, rather than reluctantly facing it, it was better to end it herself, at least in this way, she could feel a little better, and Xia Solstice could also calmly firm up her decision.

Xiao Man, who made the decision, took Ling Shan to the agreed place in Nanhu, looked up at Xia Zhi with a little shock, a little expectation, and a little dazed expression, pulled Ling Shan to his side, smiled, and said softly: "Brother, this is my boyfriend, his name is Ling Shan." ”

Xia Zhi looked at the boy who suddenly appeared next to Xiaoman for a long time, a little handsome, tall, with broad shoulders, wearing casual style clothes, he was quite a charming boy, at least closer than Xia Zhi's cold character.

It took a long time for Xia Solstice to react, and he forced himself to smile and nodded: "Oh, it's good... Uh, Liu Fu called me just now, I have to go back, and invite you two to dinner another day. ”

After saying that, Xia Zhi didn't wait for Xiaoman to agree, turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, he didn't hear Xiao Man's words to stay, so his footsteps opened and quickly disappeared from Xiao Man's sight.

Xiao Man watched Xia Solstice disappear around the bend over there, looked down at her toes, and sighed, the blue waves of the South Lake next to her swayed gently in the breeze, and a few golden leaves brushed the tips of her hair.

This autumn, it's a little cold...

thirty-one

The catkins found the summer solstice in the old location of the barbecue stand, and although it was not as decadently indulged as last semester, it was still in a bad state.

Sitting next to him, Liu Wu didn't say a word.

Xia Zhi raised his head and glanced at her, and smiled: "I heard that you can drink a lot, right?" ”

Liu Wu took a bottle of beer from the side, and opened it to half a bottle.

Xia Zhi laughed miserably, picked up the cup in front of him, and slowly poured the full cup of beer into his throat, and then someone served a few plates of barbecue, and the smoke was full of fireworks.

Pick up a bunch of mutton and take it off despite the hot mouth, chew it all down, while pouring the cup full, the contents of the mouth have not been chewed or swallowed, and the cup is a cup with his head up.

Put down the cup and continue to pour it, Xia Zhi's eyes were a little red, Liu Wu knew that he never blushed when he drank, so this was not a drunken red, and Xia Zhi would not be dried up by these bottles of beer, she was waiting for him to speak.

But she didn't expect Xia Zhi to scare her enough with the first words he said.

"Xiaoman is the second girl I like......"He said, after speaking, he took a sip and looked at Liu Fu's surprised expression lightly, and continued: "The first girl was when I was in junior high school, because the classmates next to me coaxed, that girl didn't pay attention to me since then, and then it was over, I don't know if I really like her..."

"Xiaoman is not my own sister, my father died when I was very young, after my mother got married for the second time, she also died after a few years of good life, my stepfather got married again, and then my stepfather also died, Xiaoman is my second stepfather, before my stepmother and he met, I and Xiaoman knew each other."

Liu Fu was really shocked, these people are all friends of Xia Zhi for a long time, and they can even be said to be the kind of best friends, but Xia Zhi has never told them about his family, everyone looks at him often working and thinks that his family is in difficulty, so they don't ask much, but they didn't expect Xia Zhi to have such a tragic past, and they don't know what to say for a while.

Xia Zhi saw her expression, and didn't care at all: "You don't have to comfort me, in fact, I'm used to this kind of life, when I'm at home, people say that I am a father and mother, and that I am a fox fairy, these things have been with me through high school, and when I went to college, my ears were finally cleared, but that's all, I've tasted enough..."

He poured another glass, picked up another and began to pour it, and continued: "I've tasted enough, such loneliness. ”

Liu Fu looked at him and couldn't bear him to continue drinking, but there was nothing he could do to stop it, so he had to listen carefully, as a girl who liked him, but was not liked by him, talking about the girl he liked with him, but there didn't seem to be anything about the girl who was together.

"I don't like to drink, I never drink liquor, but I like to find a place to drink some beer by myself, do you know why I like beer?" Before the catkins could react, Xia Zhi said to himself: "Because I like the taste of beer..."

Liu Wu wondered, what does beer taste like besides bitterness?

"Bitter, cold, stiff, like this world..."

"And Xiaoman, the one who makes my world inexplicably sweet, warm, and soft, I don't know why, I never believed in love at first sight before, I didn't believe in fate or anything, but since I first met Xiaoman, I haven't forgotten her."

"But I didn't expect that his father was actually my stepfather."

"My mother is very young, she is 30 years old this year, I am twenty years old, since she came to my house we have come over in the neighbor's gossip, she said she doesn't care, but I know she still cares, no woman will not care, just for me, she didn't say it, so I won't embarrass her, my affairs are all solved by myself."

"But, I didn't expect that..."

Xia Zhi smiled self-deprecatingly, his head shook a little, and Liu Wu realized that there were more than a dozen bottles in front of him unconsciously, but there were only two stripped signatures on the table, and he couldn't help asking, "Are you okay?" ”

looked up, there was no cloudiness in his eyes: "It's okay, it's just that the body control is a little bad, and the thinking is still clear." ”

Liu Wu breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be casual: "Then don't drink, eat something, and get ready to go back." ”

"Hmm."

Seeing that Xia Zhi didn't continue to drink catkins is also relieved, in fact, what she wants to hear most is that Xia Zhi asked her to accompany her for one night, no matter where she goes, she will be willing, and she doesn't mind taking this opportunity to spark something new with Xia Zhi, but she knows that this kind of plot only happens in TV series and novels, not to mention that Xia Zhi is not that kind of person.

He has always been lonely, he has regarded loneliness as a way of life, he will not want people to accompany him, he can solve everything by himself, if he can't solve it, he will choose to forget.

"Actually, I'm a coward, I don't dare to face those things, so I have to pretend not to care, but the more I don't care, the more I can't shake it off, I can't let it go, until these things unconsciously stuff my whole heart heavily, and I can't get out again."

Xia Zhi didn't continue, he didn't want to talk about these things, because he had said enough, and there was no solution to it, so he made Liu Wu worry about it in vain, so why bother?

He knows that Liu Fu likes him, at least it hasn't changed yet, so don't carve a sadness on her heart, it's better to repent and forget it, or start over, maybe there will be a turnaround in the future.

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly.

Turnaround? Scold......

thirty-two

Since that day, Xiao Man doesn't know why Xia Solstice began to stop avoiding her, often come to see her, and usually ask her if she needs help, although Xiao Man forced himself to break his thoughts, but after all, he still has a little attachment to Xia Solstice, he can't help but say a lot of things like before, and sometimes he says something troublesome Xia Solstice will come to help her solve it, which makes Xiao Man very curious.

Later, Liu Fu told her that it was probably because the identities of the two people were already brother and sister, so there was nothing to worry about.

Xiao Man suddenly realized that at the same time, he didn't feel bitter in his heart.

Ling Shan is a boy who really likes Xiaoman, but after confessing twice, Xiaoman was unmoved and had to give up, becoming one of Xiaoman's friends, seeing that Xiaoman often struggled with the summer solstice, he couldn't bear it, so he listened to Xiaoman's suggestion to pretend to be her boyfriend and let this messy relationship end.

But he always felt that something was weird, but he couldn't say it, and after thinking about it, he realized that Xia Zhi's performance at that time was a little inexplicable.

It was Xia Zhi who called Xiao Man out that day, and when he left, there was no reason to say that his classmates called him to tell him to leave in such a hurry if he had something urgent, not to mention that his expression was so strange at the time, because Xiao Man, who was in a mess, didn't pay attention to this big problem, but the more Ling Shan thought about it, the more wrong it became.

He really wanted to tell Xiao Man, but now that things are like this, the relationship between Xiao Man and Xia Zhi is even more harmonious than before, and he thinks it's better not to say it.

And then just like that, autumn, really came.

Shen Cheng's autumn this year seems to be convulsive, and it has been raining for days, and many students at Tokyo University have complained, but the summer solstice is very happy, and he is more comfortable in such weather because he naturally likes rainy days.

Holding a black umbrella, the edge of the umbrella was pressed very low, looking down at the waterlogged road under his feet, Xia Zhi walked on the way to pick up the express, turned a corner, raised the umbrella slightly and looked forward, but saw Xiaoman walking in front.

took a few steps to follow, and covered half of the umbrella on Xiao Man's head, Xiao Man looked up, still with the face of jujube flowers and rain.

Xia Zhi suddenly found that he couldn't forget such a face, and at this moment he couldn't help but want to hold her in his arms and kiss her, and he waved away the distracting thoughts in his heart, Xia Zhi asked softly: "Why don't you open an umbrella?" ”

Seeing that it was the summer solstice, Xiao Man hurriedly lowered his head and continued to walk forward: "My umbrella is broken, and the newly bought one has just arrived, but I didn't expect it to rain all day these days." ”

"It's okay to borrow one from a roommate, it's much better than drenching it like this."

Listening to Xia Zhi's loving complaints, Xiaoman's nose was sour, why didn't she think of borrowing an umbrella to use? I just want to go back to that afternoon of encounter, and I can't turn back, so I can only look back and comfort myself in this way.

Xia Zhi didn't see Xiao Man's abnormality, because he was forcing himself to resist the urge to get close to Xiao Man, and the inner struggle was unprecedentedly intense, he repeatedly told himself that Xiao Man was just his sister, not to mention that he already had a boyfriend.

But that thought didn't dissipate at all, and the two of them fell silent again.

Xiaoman found out that it seems that when the two of them are together, as long as they don't say anything, they are generally silent, is it because Xia Zhi doesn't like to talk? Or is it because

She couldn't help but look up.

Xia Zhi felt her gaze, tried his best to make his expression natural, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Man shook his head and continued to walk forward.

After a long time, she asked, "Brother, don't you like to talk to me?" ”

"Why do you ask this?" Xia Zhi was slightly embarrassed.

"Because I was and still is the one who has always been saying..."

Xia Zhi's heart trembled, he almost couldn't help it, he choked in his throat for a long time, Xiao Man saw that he didn't answer, only said that he acquiesced, and it was more likely that he didn't want to answer, so he didn't ask again.

After the two of them arrived at the Zhixing Building, they took the courier, Xiaoman hesitated, unpacked the courier, and held up the newly bought umbrella, Xia Zhi knew that she didn't need to send her to the dormitory by herself.

"Then you go back to the dormitory, I'll have something to do over there."

"Hmm." Xiao Man nodded, turned around and just took half a step, but heard Xia Zhi calling her behind him.

Turning around: "What's wrong?" ”

Xia Zhi looked at Xiao Man with a complicated face, and sighed: "The one you just asked... Actually, it's not that I don't like to talk to you, it's because... I don't know what to say..."

Xiao Man still didn't understand what he wanted to say, but he suddenly stopped talking, and waited for a long time before Xia Zhi spoke again, lowered his head, and whispered: "Probably because, what I want to say... I can't even say it..."

"Wow... Wow..."

The autumn rain came layer by layer from there, and the end of the summer solstice was drowned in the cold rain, Xiao Man watched the summer solstice turn around and walk away, his back became blurred in the increasingly heavy rain, and he couldn't help but throb in his heart.

What did he mean by that?

Xiao Man's hand slowly let go, letting the cold rain hit his head, thinking of the day he and Xia Zhi met, thinking of the bland, tasteless everything between the two people after that, and thinking of Xia Zhi's care for himself.

Walking on the way back to bed, it seems that just yesterday, it was still a small rain, falling in my heart.

Xia Zhi returned to the dormitory, sat on the chair, and complained in his heart about what he had done, and now he couldn't talk to Xiaoman again, and the two of them would be as embarrassed as before.

Close your eyes, Xia Solstice doesn't bother to think about anything.

The sound of rain in my ears came in through the window.

The old man is right, I'm a coward.

thirty-three

This autumn rains are particularly heavy.

Xia Zhi watched the rain outside the window raging in the air, bringing out vague shadows, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

I still can't hide my inner emotions, but I want to say it, I never thought about the consequences, for my own temporary comfort, I blurted out, I don't know if it's not a good thing for both of you, and it's when such a situation finally calms down.

Before leaving, he went to see the old man, and the old man didn't say anything after hearing about him and Xiaoman. Sitting in a gloomy corner of the gloomy room, the old man closed his eyes and recuperated, and he only spoke when Xia Solstice thought he was asleep.

"If you're there, she's there, and if you're not there, she's not."

The old man's words were inexplicable, each "in" dragged on for a long time, as if it was still unfinished, whether it was the way he said it or the meaning of this sentence, it made Xia Zhi scratch his head, but after the old man finished speaking, he had already issued an eviction order, so Xia Zhi didn't ask anything.

Now that I think about the old man's words, it seems that there is a little taste, but what is wrong with it, Xia Zhi himself can't say clearly.

Since Yang Dong fell in love with Sister Yunye, Ma Liupong fell in love, and Lin Yuanfeng didn't know why he was in good spirits, Xia Zhi was often the only one in the dormitory, and at this time he would sit down to write something, read a book, and then think about something.

In the past, I wanted to be a little quiet only in the old place of Nanhu, but now I don't have to run so far, and many things can be thought about by myself without anyone bothering, but at this time, the problems to be thought about cannot be solved by one person.

Xia Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, not wanting to think about this matter without results anymore, so he could only take one step at a time.

After dispelling his thoughts, Xia Zhi began to write, writing and writing, and he couldn't help but write in what he thought, and then read it after writing, and in a trance, he seemed to become a bystander looking at his story, and then those things that he couldn't figure out, those who had been entangled for a long time, even if they couldn't solve it well, they could look down on a lot, and even don't care.

Xia Zhi only knew that this was the reason why he liked to write from the beginning.

So he insisted on writing it, and after writing one, he started another, all the fantasies, all the extravagant hopes, all the sorrows, all the pains, all the writing into it, throwing it away, putting it into another world, and then it was himself again.

Writing and writing, an autumn became deeper, the fallen leaves began to flutter, singing a lonely parting in the cold rain, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be thicker and more merciless than in the previous days.

Xiaoman hasn't seen Xia Solstice for a long time, and I heard Liu Fu say that he didn't come out of the dormitory, I don't know if it's because he doesn't want to see him, or if he's preparing for his graduation thesis or something.

That day, she always wanted to ask what Xia Solstice meant in person, plus Ling Shan finally told Xiao Man about her guess a few days ago, she felt that things seemed to be complicated by the two of them, she guessed a bloody misunderstanding in her heart, and found that it was inseparable from her own reality, and she felt that something was not good in her heart.

I didn't expect to just want to confess and figure out what was going on, but Xia Zhi was always hiding in the dormitory, and he shouldn't call him, and disappeared, if it weren't for Liu Wu saying that they were together every week to tutor Ma Liu, they would have thought that Xia Zhi was really gone.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival finally ushered in the first good weather since autumn, Xiaoman and a few friends planned to go out to play, called the catkins, and the catkins called Yang Dong and a few of them, in order to pull the summer solstice over.

At the beginning, a few people in the first year heard that the senior was going to come to join reluctantly, but after the boys heard that Liu Wu was single, and the girls heard that Xia Zhi was single, they also passed it unanimously.

A few people don't plan to turn to Shenyang, after the three-day holiday is ready, according to the advice of the summer solstice, they did not choose those places that are very famous and have a lot of people, and went to a small city not far from the summer solstice's hometown, this time is the season when there are few people, but the summer solstice knows that the woods and rivers there are incomparable to some tourist attractions.

When I got in the car, Xiaoman's seat and Xia Solstice were next to each other, it seemed that it must be the arrangement of the catkins, and the two of them had never spoken well since they began to plan their trips, and they didn't even look at each other.

Now sitting together, Xiao Man looked out the window, Xia Zhi looked at the book in his hand, but after all, he couldn't help it, secretly looked at Xiao Man, but he didn't expect that as soon as he looked up, Xiao Man was also secretly looking at him, and the two of them made two red faces, and they all lowered their heads and stopped looking up.

Xiao Man wanted to ask what he had always wanted to ask, but when he saw that there were people around him, he didn't ask, and Xia Zhi has been forcing himself to control his feelings and not let his mind be revealed.

He smiled reluctantly, and in order to open up the embarrassing situation, he wanted to say something, but he didn't expect to ask such a mouth: "Ling Shan, didn't you bring him here?" ”

Xiao Man was complaining that Xia Zhi was always in a weird atmosphere, and suddenly heard him ask, he couldn't help but feel angry, and said hatefully: "Broke up!" After saying that, he turned his head to look out the window and ignored him.

"Uhhhh Why? Isn't it good to be with him? ”

"Not good!"

"Really?" Xia Zhi saw that Xiao was full of anger in his belly, so he didn't ask, if he said too much, he would lose it, and if he said too much, it would be better not to touch his head.

Xiao Man looked out the window and waited for a long time, didn't wait for the summer solstice to say something nice, looked back, but didn't expect this guy to fall asleep, and there was nowhere to send the resentment in his stomach, so he had to puff out his cheeks to look at the scenery.

This wood!

thirty-four

The city is completely virtual, so let's skip the name part with ++ instead.

++ It is not too far from Shencheng, more than three hours by high-speed rail, because it is a small city, so you have to transfer to the bus and walk for about an hour, and the suburbs of this small city are very beautiful woods, and few places can retain such a perfect ecology.

Large golden and reddish forests, clear water, fresh air, gentle light rain.

A few people, like the summer solstice, came to this place for the first time and fell in love with it.

According to the summer solstice, the rainy ++ suburbs are the most beautiful time, thinking that the ++ rain is warm, and it will not ripple when it falls on the lake, and after arriving, they know what warm rain is.

The surface of the lake is calm and you can't see any fluctuations, and the calm in front of you and the water flow at the mouth of the lake in the distance are like two worlds, as if you are in a dream.

A large umbrella rented from outside the forest is inserted into the uncobblestone soil by the lake, and the soft cushions and tablecloths are laid out, which is a good place for a picnic, and although such a light rain cannot be drenched casually, the barbecue is completely stress-free.

Set up the grill, take out the meat and vegetables, and then it's time for Xia Solstice and Qinglian and Sister Yunye to be busy, and the three of them can cook, and Xia Solstice is still the one who accounts for the majority, after all, girls are still very uncomfortable with barbecue.

When the summer solstice was busy, Yang Dong and the others took off their shoes and ran into the water, not afraid of any snakes and insects in the water, dripping in it, grinning at the cold lake water in autumn, looking at the tangled expression on the face of the person opposite.

Looking at the few in the lake, Sister Yunye covered her mouth and smiled.

Xia Zhi glanced at them, Xiao Man jumped up and down in the lake, running around and playing tricks, Lin Yuanfeng was almost pressed into the water by her, but fortunately, although he didn't stabilize his body, he retreated to the lake by inertia and fell on the pebbles.

Smiling, Xia Zhi lowered his head and continued to burn his charcoal, joking at Yun Ye: "Don't look at Yang Dong's usual five people and six people, sometimes he will be like a child, do you feel disappointed?" ”

Yun Ye shook his head: "It's good not to think so, it's better for boys to be so strong all the time, isn't it like sometime for boys to be children?" ”

Qinglian smiled at this time, pointed at Xia Zhi and said: "I finally know why Lao Xia has no object, I see, it's better for boys to be so strong than to be like this sometimes, hahahaha!" ”

Xia Zhi was not annoyed, and staggered his hand to take the plastic fan: "you, how do you know that I don't have a partner?" ”

This time I changed the light love two stupidly, and it took a long time to react, and the light love asked: "When did you have it?" Okay, don't tell us! ”

Xia Zhi looked up and found that Sister Yunye was also looking at herself with gossip on her face, smiled bitterly and said, "I just asked how you know, and I didn't say I had it." ”

"Cut!" Light love is bored: "Waste our feelings, I thought that your dead tree had finally bloomed!" ”

The dead tree bloomed, and Xia Zhi remembered the old tree in Lao Cai, and was a little sad, and said in a low voice: "The old tree blooms and never bears fruit." ”

Sister Yunye seemed to hear something, and swallowed what she wanted to say and didn't say it, but she didn't notice it, and she was still pouting: "Who said that the old tree will not bear fruit when it blooms, and the old tree will bear fruit when it blooms less, right?" ”

Xia Zhi's heart was shocked, and he didn't know where he was touched, and suddenly he had a feeling of enlightenment, the movement of his hand paused, and the expression on his face stagnated for a moment, but he immediately returned to normal, smiled and stopped talking.

Yun Ye looked at Xia Solstice's appearance and thought for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.

The closer it was to noon, the darker the sky became, a few people had enough of getting out of the water, drying their feet, and when they came back with their shoes on, the summer solstice had already baked several plates of skewers, Yang Dong and the three boys came over to pick them up and eat them, Ma Liu's fingers turned over and opened a few bottles of beer very quickly, sat on the tablecloth, took out the prepared noodles and set up the pot and began to cook.

Xia Zhi was still busy, and Sister Yunye pinched Yang Dong: "Brother Xia Zhi hasn't eaten yet!" ”

Xiao Man seemed to have been playing too much and forgot everything, grabbed a bunch of mutton and sent it to Xia Zhi's mouth: "Brother! Come on, open your mouth! ”

Yang Dong smiled: "My sister takes care of it, don't worry about us, come, do it!" ”

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, looking at Xiao Man's smiling face, the hair wet by the drizzle stuck to his forehead, and the face of the jujube flowers with rain, he didn't move, he looked straight at Xiao Man's eyes, Xiao Man was looked at by him for a while before he remembered the current situation of the two people, and his heart was dry unconsciously, and his hand was handed back to Xia Zhi's mouth, and it was not sent up, he lowered his head and blushed.

It took a long time to be woken up by the sound of Yang Dong and a few of them drinking, Xia Zhi glanced at the tablecloth, only the catkins and Yunye were looking at this side worriedly, barely suppressing the restlessness in their hearts, and as a result, the mutton in Xiaoman's hand had been drenched with a layer of water vapor by a light rain.

"I'm not hungry, you can go eat first."

"Hmm." Xiao Man saw that there was nothing unusual about the summer solstice and nodded.

Xia Zhi said again: "Don't worry about me, you can just be happy." ”

Xiao Man was stunned for a moment, he always felt that something was weird, the secret path was just a function of his own heart, so he didn't continue to pursue it, and fled in a hurry.

Sister Yunye came over and asked Liu Fu in a low voice: "Is the relationship between Xia Solstice and Xiaoman not good?" ”

"Uh... ..."Catkins was stuck in the throat: "It should be... It's still pretty good, right? ”

"Really?" Yun Ye still wanted to ask, but Xiao Man had already come over, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

She glanced at Xiaoman's obviously fraudulent expression twice, and then looked at the summer solstice, which was not abnormal, and became more and more curious in her heart.

What happened to these two people?

thirty-five

After eating, a few people went crazy by the lake for a while, took a lot of photos, knew that the rain stopped at night, and the sky was blue, with a tired body and a happy mood, breathing fresh air, stepping on the fallen leaves in the forest, walking back with their backs to the sunset, the long shadow fell in front of them, and the golden fallen leaves reflected the golden sunset was the background.

Liu Wu secretly looked at Xia Solstice and found that there was nothing wrong, but Xiao Man had to peek at Xia Zhi's face from time to time, and then lowered his head and didn't know what to think, Liu Wu thought about it, and felt a little strange, but the atmosphere around her was so good, she didn't bother everyone, and went straight back to the hotel.

The hotel is set to be a double room, when people can't be a man and a woman paired, catkins and Xiaoman, Yunye and light love, Yang Dong and Xia Zhi, Ma Liu and Lin Yuanfeng, a few people to their own room, the first thing is to take a hot bath, after all, it has been raining outside for a day, plus the barbecue smoke is full of mush.

Xia Zhi came out of the shower, discussed with Yang Dong, and decided to go to the second floor to charter a single room at night to eat something to save the barbecue and burn the stomach.

Out of the room, Xia Solstice went from room to room to inform him.

Liu Wu came out of the bathroom, Xiao Man couldn't wait to take off his clothes and go into the bathroom, the clothes were still everywhere, Liu Wu smiled helplessly, and helped Xiao Man pick up the clothes on the ground and put them on the sofa.

When the clothes were put away, Liu Wu sat on the sofa, looking at the door of the bathroom, there was no sound inside, it was estimated that it was soaking in the bathtub, she said loudly to Xiaoman: "Xiaoman? ”

Then Xiao Man's voice became happy and soft after being soaked in hot water: "What? ”

"I had one thing I wanted to ask you."

"Hmm..."

"Are you and Xia Zhi not brother and sister?"

"yes... His mother is my stepmother..."

"Then what is your relationship with the summer solstice?"

Xiao Man's voice paused obviously before he said, "Brother and sister... What's wrong? ”

"That...," Liu Fu didn't say anything, when there was a knock on the door, and she had to stand up: "I'll ask you later, I'll open the door." ”

"Oh ... ..."

Liu Wu looked at it from the cat's eyes, it was Xia Zhi, thought about it, and immediately made a look at Xia Zhi when he opened the door, Xia Zhi inexplicably followed Liu Wu into the house, and saw Liu Wu signaling him not to speak, so he didn't make a sound and sat on the other end of the sofa.

Liu Wu sat back, and heard Xiao Man say, "Sister Liu Wu, who is it?" ”

Xia Zhi listened to Xiao Man's voice, nosebleeds almost spurted out, this voice was too soft and cute, imagining Xiao Man's appearance in the bathtub, Xia Zhi was a little uncontrollable, and his face turned red.

Liu Wu glanced at Xia Zhi and shouted into the bathroom: "It's nothing, your brother said that he would go to the second floor to eat at night, so he was not in a hurry." ”

"Oh ... ..."

Xia Zhi still couldn't help it, so he had to lower his head and hold his forehead, not looking at anything, thinking about nothing.

"Actually, I just wanted to ask... You... Do you like the summer solstice? ”

Xia Zhi's heart jumped, and he raised his head suddenly, looking at Liu Fu's cunning eyes, looking forward to Xiaoman's answer.

After waiting for a long time, Xiaoman's voice came out, a little tired in his voice, a little helpless, and he pretended to be relaxed: "It's nothing, Sister Liuwu, what are you guessing!" ”

"Really? Why do I think you're weird? There are times when we have helplessness about some things, if these things are not spoken, we will always feel uncomfortable, and it will be better if we say them, and there is no one else here, anyway, I can see it, and I promise not to tell others. ”

There was silence in the bathroom.

Xia Zhi waited for a long time, didn't wait for Xiaoman to speak again, sighed, shrugged at the catkins, stood up and walked away. Liu Wu had the intention to leave him, but Xiao Man was over there, and he couldn't speak, and Xia Zhi was determined to leave, and she had no choice but to let Xia Zhi disappear behind the wall of the porch.

At this moment, Xiao Man spoke.

"Yes, I like him, but what's the use of liking?"

Liu Fu glanced at the porch and couldn't see the summer solstice, but the door didn't sound, so he continued: "Why is it useless, aren't you unrelated?" ”

Xiaoman smiled bitterly: "Sister Liuwu, don't make trouble, isn't my brother in love with you?" ”

Liu Wu was startled, and felt as if he had found a little key, and hurriedly said, "Who said that?" Summer Solstice has always been single. ”

"Really?" Xiao Man's voice was a little hesitant.

"Why am I lying to you?"

"And what is he doing with you girls all day?"

Liu Fu's face became strange: "Don't you know? When Xia Zhi was with us, he asked about girls' clothes hobbies or something, didn't he pick them up for a long time to buy you two clothes on your birthday? ”

"Huh?" Xiao Man was also startled, and he also had a feeling that he had found the key, and his strange thoughts didn't seem to be wrong.

"That's right, Xia Zhi's character, it's impossible to tell you this."

Xiao Man was silent again, and Liu Wu glanced at the wall of the porch again, it seemed that Xia Solstice would not leave for the time being.

Liu Wu asked: "I think Xia Zhi also likes you a lot, maybe it will be done." ”

There was timidity in Xiaoman's voice: "But... But... Brother, he doesn't like me anymore, he always treats me as a sister now. ”

Liu Wu rolled his eyes: "Are you stupid, does he treat you as a sister like that, he doesn't even dare to look at you!" ”

"That's right...," Xiao Man thought for a moment, and then said, "But, I don't dare, in case... What if he doesn't agree? ”

Liu Fu said from Xiaoman and the story of the two people she told her on the day of the summer solstice, and finally guessed the misunderstanding between Xia Solstice and Xiao Man, and suddenly there was a sense of powerlessness, Xiao Man seemed to be frightened, and he no longer dared to face Xia Solstice to say these things, it seemed that she still had to go from Xia Solstice, so she pretended to be helpless and said: "Forget it, I don't care about your business, I'll go out and have a look first, you wash it yourself." ”

"Oh ... ..."

Catkins stood up and walked into the porch. Xia Zhi was leaning against the wall, saw Liu Wu coming over, glanced at it, smiled bitterly, Liu Wu dragged him out of the door, went to the corridor, and asked, "Now you know?" ”

Xia Zhi smiled bitterly: "How could I not know yet, only after knowing that I knew that I was a fool..."

Liu Fu smiled: "Yes, you have always been a fool. ”
