Xia Zhi remembered the days when he indulged, and his heart ached.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Man's shoulder, soft, soft, so that Xia Zhi's heart rippled, a little harder, pulled Xiao Man in front of him, Xia Zhi looked down at her, Xiao Man was stunned, at a loss, his heart was chaotic, watching Xia Zhi's face get closer and closer, only closed his eyes tightly, feeling the hot breath slowly attacking.

But before the atmosphere could be warm, Xiaoman's mobile phone rang.

Xia Zhi regretfully let go of Xiao Man's shoulder, but Xiao Man turned his back in a panic and didn't dare to look at Xia Zhi. After receiving the phone, Xia Zhi heard what seemed to be a thick male voice next to him, Xiao Man responded a few words, didn't say anything, put down the phone and said to Xia Zhi apologetically: "Brother Xia Zhi, I... My dad said there was something at home that told me to go back, and I couldn't stay in the city, but..."

Xia Zhi touched her head: "The matter at home is important, let's contact QQ, huh?" ”

Xiaoman nodded: "Hmm! Oh, by the way, Brother Xia Zhi, I was admitted to Northeastern University, and I have a major with you! ”

Xia Solstice was pleasantly surprised: "Really? ”

"Hmmm! Really, we'll be able to take classes together then! Xiao Man said excitedly, and then added in a low voice: "There is no need to separate again." ”

"Hmm......"Xia Zhi looked at the petite girl in front of her with some emotion, remembering that her grades were far from the level of Northeastern University at the beginning, and she didn't expect to catch up in just one month.

Sent Xiaoman to the station, Xia Zhi returned home, Gu Yu had already recovered his mood, and just told Xia Zhi to take him to meet the man in two days, Xia Zhi should come down, and when the time comes, she must help the little mother support the field, and she can't find a bullied person to come back.

Xia Zhi thought about it, and fell asleep, after all, I haven't settled down for a long time to sleep well, and when I woke up, it was just the beginning of the lights, Gu Yu didn't know what to do when I went out, Xia Zhi got up from the bed and turned on the lamp, opened a book and started reading.

But I read it very absent-mindedly, and I often think of Xiaoman's face, and my heart is chaotic, but there is a sweetness brewing.

He suddenly had an urge to write it down, to write down his entanglements, his thoughts, his own stories, and what he wanted.

wrote until Gu Yu came home, Xia Zhi wrote a rough, imaginary story completely, and read it from the beginning, although some places are very rough, but generally quite satisfied.

And then it's about the unsatisfactory revision, Xia Zhi has read a lot of books, when the typist has typed a lot of things, after thinking about it carefully, he will probably be able to find a solution, and sometimes he will have a lot of his own ideas.

Xia Zhi suddenly found that writing was so enjoyable.

Then, the chaotic thoughts and fantasies in my heart, after I wrote them down, were all gone, and in the bottom of my heart, there was a sense of tranquility, a sublimated detachment, and a kind of relaxation to let go.

Summer Solstice looked at the street lights outside the window.

Seem...... OK?

nineteen

The first time I saw this man, Xia Zhi had a feeling of being thick and reliable, and listening to his conversation, he had the temperament of a natural success.

According to himself, he is one of the people who went out ten years ago, and he is also one of the people who mix relatively well, with a trading company, the annual profit is quite considerable, because he is getting older, his mental strength is slightly insufficient, and his daughter has grown up, and he has been taken care of by his brother since she was a child, and she lost her mother early, which really makes him feel at ease.

When a person is accustomed to seeing good things and has gone through many years, until he is tired of the things he once passionately pursued, he will find that in fact, the things he really cares about have not been well cared for.

Speaking of this, his expression and tone were sincere, and Xia Zhi knew that this kind of guilt was something that could not be faked.

So after this meeting of going out to eat, Xia Zhi had quietly given this seemingly simple but capable man a considerable score in his heart, but he didn't say it, just shook hands politely and steadily when they met, and said goodbye to each other, and there was no separation of the three of them.

It was just before three o'clock in the afternoon, the hot sun was starting to set, and the breeze was starting to blow.

Gu Yu raised his hand and gently stroked his hair: "Do you want to go with me?" ”

Xia Zhi smiled: "Why don't you call him back and let him go with you?" ”

"you, you dare to make a joke."

Xia Zhi didn't say anything, and accompanied Gu Yu to walk slowly in the shadows on the side of the road, surrounded by shops with open doors or closed doors and air conditioning, and the wide and flat road where cars drove by from time to time.

After walking half a block, Gu Yu finally spoke: "If I don't say it, you can't tell me something?" ”

Xia Zhi looked ahead: "This is your business, I don't want to affect you because of my thoughts." Saying that, he turned his head to look at Gu Yu: "What do you think?" ”

Xia Zhi blushed when he saw Gu Yu for the first time.

"I think... It's ok..."

"Is it just okay?" Summer Solstice secretly smiled.

Gu Yu was embarrassed, and he didn't speak with a blank look.

Xia Zhi finally couldn't hold back his laughter, Gu Yu didn't look at him, just like a little girl with a cute attitude, making Xia Zhi feel as if she was back to when she first came to her home, with a beautiful face, a cheerful mood, and a young and lively come to her side, making her mood clear and peaceful.

So from the first day she saw her, Xia Zhi decided that she would be her mother from now on and would never change.

"When is the next time you ask him out?" Xia Zhi asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Gu Yu was a little panicked: "Ask him out... We're all at this age for you young people, so we don't want it, right? ”

"What's that, how old you are, you're also thirty, although he is in his forties, but..." Xia Zhi smiled slyly: "Man, I know better than you, after all, I am also a man." ”

Gu Yu smiled: "What man, in my eyes, you are the child who doesn't come out of the house when the cat doesn't come out." ”

So neither of them spoke.

As they walked, the wind gradually rose, the clouds gradually drifted away, the sky was blue, and they came to the entrance of a park in the center of the county, and entered a long boulevard, the side of the road was sprinkled with wind-blown fallen leaves and broken grass stalks, and the shadow of the leaves reminded Xia Solstice of the afternoon with Xiaoman under the old tree.

"Are you okay at school?" Gu Yu asked suddenly.

Xia Zhi was a little surprised, because Gu Yu rarely asked him about things outside, but he still replied: "It's okay." ”

Gu Yu lowered his head and walked slowly: "When I was young, I often wondered if there would be such a road for me to walk slowly after I went to college, and whether there would be someone to accompany me all the way, but I knew that it was impossible, even if my grades were not so bad, the situation at home would not allow me to go to college..."

Xia Zhi hadn't heard of Gu Yu's home and the past, but she just knew that her home was in a very backward place, whether it was economic or ideological, she thought about the old street twenty years ago.

"I didn't expect that there is such a road now, and it is my son who accompanies me, but it's good to think about it, after all, my son is more reliable than those people."

"Really?" Xia Zhi said a little dryly, he knew that Gu Yu just wanted to comfort himself and comfort himself at the same time, but he understood that any woman yearns for beautiful love, for a better future, for the romance and truth she wants, and Gu Yu is a woman who can only fantasize if she can't get it.

Xia Zhi finally made up his mind and took out his mobile phone: "I'll help you make an appointment with him!" ”

"Huh?" Gu Yu was taken aback: "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"Don't worry, ask him out this weekend, I'll let him decide where to go, and I won't go when the time comes."

"Huh?" Gu Yu was about to be blinded by Xia Zhi, and felt that he couldn't accept the development of the plot at all, but he couldn't rely on his son in vain, and he couldn't resist Xia Zhi's decision, so he had to let Xia Solstice arrange everything for himself, and when he reacted and wanted to object, the two men had already finalized the date.

Gu Yu's heart was powerless for a while...

Then I was pulled to the supermarket by the summer solstice, and went to an affordable place to buy two beautiful clothes that were very young and mature women's charm, two clothes that she had never worn and wore in front of the mirror and would blush when she looked at herself.

Then there were days of tangled waiting, and on Saturday the man came to the door to pick up Gu Yu from Xia Zhi's hand, and Xia Zhi clearly noticed that he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes when he saw Gu Yu's new image.

Watching the butt of the Audi disappear into the distance, Xia Zhi smiled softly.

When you're in a good mood, what better way to kill time than by calling your beloved girl?

Xia Zhi connected Xiaoman's phone and happily listened to Xiaoman's chatter on the other end of the phone saying that he was bored at home, adding good water and other things in the freshman group of Tokyo University.

He looked up at the blue sky outside the window, and felt that his world was like a free white cloud in the blue sky.

It's really happy.

twenty

So the two couples began to be eager, and the smile on Gu Yu's face gradually increased, sometimes they would start to stay when they were doing housework, just like Xiaoman, and sure enough, the women in love were the same.

Sometimes Xia Solstice will secretly call that Xia Dongqing and ask him what he thinks, Xia Dongqing likes Gu Yu very much in his words, and he also likes Xia Solstice, and even appreciates it, which makes Xia Solstice very happy, and at the same time tells him that he doesn't care about multiple sisters at home, and Gu Yu certainly doesn't care, so the relationship between the two men seems to be progressing faster than between men and women.

It's like buddy.

To be honest, Xia Zhi was shocked when he heard Xia Dongqing's name, he didn't expect this man to also be surnamed Xia, sometimes he would think that he didn't know what Xiao Man's surname was now, and he was in a trance, but Xiao Man seemed to have forgotten about it, and he never mentioned it, so if he went on like this, maybe he would know when he started school, and he was very happy now.

Everything is going with the flow, and the summer solstice has been happy lately.

"So you haven't been here for a month?" The old man asked with a smile, his smile as warm as the white gas wafting from the two cups of tea in front of him.

Xia Zhi sneered: "Isn't there too many things to take care of, not so much time to come, and we still care about the relationship this month?" ”

The old man laughed: "Strong words! As he spoke, he picked up the cup of tea in front of him and blew it gently, taking a sip: "Hmm... The tea you brew is still just right. ”

Putting down the teacup, the old man closed his eyes and savored for a while, then opened his eyes: "Hmm... Now the things in your family are quite good, you grew up after I came to Laojie, and now that you have grown up, you can solve the things at home by yourself, and I am also relieved. ”

"No, no, I'm still far away." Xia Zhi said modestly.

"Haha!" The old man just smiled, there was no objection or affirmation, a little, calmed down, picked up the teacup and took a breath of half of the tea that had become warm: "Actually, there are many things that you can solve by yourself, after all, I am old, and my mind can't keep up with your times." ”

The old man paused for a moment, looked at Xia Zhi's sincere face, and his voice became distant: "But ah, there are some things that you can't solve by yourself..."

Xia Zhi was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

The old man shook his head, the top of his shaved head shone in the light, and his white beard shook with his head: "I can't solve it either... You're looking for someone who can solve it..."

Xia Zhi looked up thoughtfully: "Xiaoman? ”

The old man smiled and nodded.

Xia Solstice frowned.

"Don't think that you have to take everything down if you are a man, there are some things that you can't solve, so there will be such a thing as love, when the time comes, you will encounter a lot of such things, how hard you think about it alone, you can't figure it out, only if you face it with her, so that you can not be afraid of everything."

Xia Zhi pondered, and the old man drank the tea.

The old-fashioned wall clock on the wall ticked and ticked, driving Xia Zhi's thoughts, and he seemed to understand something when he thought of what had happened before.

"I see, I'm not going to be strong."

The old man nodded, and waved his hand again: "Okay, get out, I'm going to sleep!" ”

Xia Zhi smiled, picked up the tea in front of him and drank it all, packed up the teacup, looked at the old man lying in the rattan chair peacefully, closed the door lightly, and went home.

I have to go home and prepare, because at noon, Xia Dongqing will bring her children to their house for a meal, and then set the marriage and hold the wedding before the summer solstice starts, so that the summer solstice can be happier.

So at noon today, Xia Solstice has to arrange things at home with Gu Yu, and prepare a sumptuous meal to give their father and daughter a warm memory.

When Xia Zhi came home, Gu Yu was very busy, and when he saw Xia Zhi coming back, he hurriedly grabbed Xia Zhi and asked him this and that, is it good to put it like this, what can he do to make his daughter happy, etc., and he is still worried about whether he will be hated by the other party's children.

Xia Zhi looked funny, she was what a young woman should look like!

"Okay, didn't Lao Xia say it! His daughter is very simple and obedient, and he has discussed it with her and completely agrees. ”

"But... But..."Gu Yu is still not at ease.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of it then, you can go cook."

"Hmm." Gu Yu didn't know what to say, so he had to get up and walk to the kitchen, but at this time, the doorbell remembered.

Gu Yu was taken aback: "Why is it so fast?" ”

Xia Zhi smiled, knowing that it was impossible for Gu Yu to open the door now, so he stood up and opened the door, just about to greet the arrival of Lao Xia and his daughter with a smile, but his expression froze.

It took him a long time before he reacted and sighed.

"Brother Xia Zhi?"

Xiaoman... It turned out to be surnamed Xia...

Volume 3: Autumn is the rainy season

twenty-one

Xiaoman's full name is Xia Xiaoman, which is smoother and more natural than any name Xia Zhi had ever guessed, but the current situation is completely a bad momentum.

Gu Yu and Xia Zhi looked at each other and didn't know what to do at all, Xiao Man shrank on the side, his head was down, thinking wildly, and he was flustered, while Xia Dongqing was looking at the strange atmosphere in front of him, and he didn't know why.

After sitting awkwardly for a while, Xia Zhi spoke first, coughed dryly, and pushed Gu Yu: "Mom, isn't it time to eat?" ”

"Huh? Oh... Oh! Yes, eat, eat! Gu Yu reacted at this time, hurriedly stood up and walked into the kitchen, and then there was a spatula noise.

Xia Zhi sighed and stood up: "Xiaoman, let's go out for a while." ”

"Oh......"Xiao Man whispered, stood up with his head down, and walked out with Xia Solstice, Xia Dongqing watched the two children walk out and was still confused, until Xia Solstice closed the door, he turned around, and saw Gu Yu poking out half of his head from the arch.

Shrugging his shoulders, Xia Dongqing asked, "What's going on?" ”

Gu Yu walked out from behind the arch and sat down next to Xia Dongqing...

Xia Zhi and Xiao Man went out and walked slowly on the road, no one spoke, I don't know how long it took to get under the old tree, Xia Zhi stopped, Xiao Man stood behind him and didn't dare to look at him.

Looking up at the leaves of the old tree, Xia Zhi turned around: "Xiaoman...

When Xiao Man heard him scream, he didn't raise his head, but his neck shrank again, and he whispered: "Brother Xia Zhi..."

Xia Zhi heard her call herself like this, and she was greatly relieved in her heart, took a step forward, and reached out to touch Xiao Man's shoulder, Xiao Man was excited, and hurriedly dodged.

Xia Zhi panicked: "Xiaoman..."

I was about to say something, but I saw Xiaoman's face.

That face with rain with jujube flowers, the face was helpless, fearful, aggrieved, pitiful, and pleading, Xia Zhi didn't know how to face such a Xiaoman, and he didn't know how to solve such a situation.

Xia Zhi told himself that he couldn't mess up, he couldn't mess up, and now he knew that the person who was most likely to calm down the situation was himself, and if he panicked, it would really be completely finished, whether it was himself and Xiaoman or Gu Yu and Xia Dongqing, whether it was the current decision or the future life.

Xia Zhi shook her head and looked up at Xiao Man again, Xiao Man's eyes were full of tears, knowing that Xia Solstice was not comfortable, she was strong not to let herself cry, but she still didn't hold back, tears slid down from the corners of her eyes, crossed her crystal face, stayed on her chin for a moment, and dripped on the pink placket.

Seeing her like this, Xia Zhi felt a pain in his heart, and reached out to wipe away her tears, but as soon as his hand was stretched out, Xiaoman shrank back and didn't let himself touch it. Xia Zhi reached out and grabbed her arm, dragged her over, pressed her in place, and wiped the tears from her face.

Xiao Man stood there, his hands tightly grasping the corners of his clothes, he didn't make a sound, closed his eyes, and was at the mercy of Xia Zhi, waiting for Xia Zhi's hand to be taken away from his face before he opened his eyes, and saw Xia Zhi's sincere eyes, gently, expectantly, comfortingly, looking at himself.

The summer wind blew, and the dust on the ground raised a burst of heat, Xiao Man felt that the sweat behind his back was a little cold when the wind blew it, but his face was as hot as being exposed to the sun.

Xia Zhi watched Xiao Man's expression slowly become calmer, no longer panicked, no longer at a loss, so he reached out and hugged Xiao Man's body, buried her head in his chest, and finally felt a little more full and settled.

However, just when he felt that he had finally redeemed something, Xiao Man in his arms spoke up.

Quietly, with a flat and dead emotionless tone, it stung Xia Zhi's heart.

She said, "Brother..."

Brother!

She called me brother!

Xia Zhi let go of his hand and looked at Xiao Man in disbelief, he didn't speak for a long time, and Xiao Man also looked at Xia Solstice in the same way, and he didn't speak either.

The wind stopped.

Xia Zhi's hand trembled a little, and after a long time, he finally showed a far-fetched smile, he retracted his hand and didn't say anything.

"Go home, it's time to eat."

"Hmm." Xiao Man followed behind Xia Zhi, and the two of them came like this, and went back like this, nothing changed, only Xia Zhi's face was full of self-deprecation, and Xiao Man's expression changed to gloomy. As soon as Gu Yu and Xia Dongqing saw it, they felt that something was very bad, looked at each other, and hurriedly pulled their respective children to the dinner table.

This meal was eaten in silence, even more silent than when Gu Yu and Xia Zhi were two, Xia Zhi lowered his head and ate seriously one bite at a time as usual. Xiaoman didn't have a bite, and all the dishes she ate were put into her bowl by Gu Yu. Xia Dongqing pretended not to know anything, praising Gu Yu's craftsmanship again and again, and sometimes telling a few jokes, but it always ended with him and Gu Yu not being able to laugh.

Xiao Man finished eating first, got up and left.

When Xiaoman walked out, Xia Dongqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down his chopsticks and said: "Xia Zhi, I know all about this matter, in fact, I blame me for not knowing it beforehand, but now it has come to this point, what do you want to do?" ”

Xia Solstice raised his head: "What should I do?" Isn't this confusing? Your marriage is still over, and you can't worry much about Xiaoman's affairs if you want to, right? ”

Xia Dongqing thought about it, and it was indeed the case, so she had to stop talking.

At this time, Gu Yu spoke: "Summer Solstice, it's not your business alone. ”

Xia Zhi didn't speak, lowered his head, and looked at the empty bowl in front of him.

Xia Dongqing looked at Xia Zhi and pondered like Gu Yu, and at the same time felt that it was really unbearable for him to face such a bloody matter, but he couldn't help, this matter could only be solved by Xia Zhi and Xiaoman themselves, no matter what the result was, there were only two things they could do as parents, support, or remedy, that's all.

However, the summer solstice didn't make them wait too long, and after a moment, he raised his head and smiled: "Yes, it's not my business alone. ”

After saying that, Xia Zhi walked away.

twenty-two

Sitting on the flower bed, Xia Zhi and Xiaoman looked forward side by side, looking at the direction of the old street, from here you can see the high bell tower of the old street, although the bell tower is abandoned, the old clock no longer turns, but the green moss, the green vines still decorate the bell tower with a deep atmosphere.

The sun is raging in the summer afternoon, the breeze in the summer afternoon is still struggling, the cicadas in the summer afternoon are still singing the noise of the world, and the clouds in the summer afternoon are still interpreting the changes in the hearts of the two people.

Xia Zhi knew that Xiao Man was struggling, because he was also struggling for a moment, and after turning around in the entanglement, Xia Zhi was finally able to face his true heart, and finally knew what the old man said about what the two of them were to face, and he was a little skeptical that the old man was really taken on by the fox fairy, and he could count the front and back.

Looking at Xiao Man's eyes, although he was determined to face it, Xia Zhi still didn't know how to speak, but Xiao Man spoke first.

"Brother......"Her first sentence pushed Xia Zhi's mood to the bottom.

"Brother." She said: "Now we are a family, and then we can go to school together at the University of Tokyo, and you said that you want to come back and look for a job, and we will come here together to find a job, and then, our family... You don't have to separate, do you? ”

Xia Solstice couldn't see what it was in Xiao Man's smile, when would Xiao Man, who couldn't hide his emotions at all, be able to make this kind of smile? Summer Solstice's heart has a headache.

But he still nodded: "Yes, there is no need to separate." ”

Xia Zhi knows what a bereaved child fears the most, and knows what she least wants to face.

The question now is how to let Xiaoman face such a thing, how to make his heart admit that this love still exists, can still exist, and can continue to continue beautifully.

Here the two of them looked at the sky, without saying a word, until the sunset.

Gu Yu and Xia Dongqing's wedding was held as scheduled, the families of the two generations of Xia Zhi's parents were present, and Xia Dongqing's family was also all present, including the Xiaoman third uncle's family, who were quite prejudiced against Xia Zhi, the wedding was held very successfully, although many people came with the mentality of seeing what accidents would happen to this family, but there were still many people who sincerely blessed them.

The old man drank with a few old guys at the first table of the banquet, and commented on Xia Zhi for a while, and at the same time looked at Xia Zhi and Xiao Man with a sly look, and from time to time there was a burst of old shameless laughter, which made Xia Zhi very embarrassed, for fear that Xiao Man would be even more disgusted with himself when he saw them like this.

When Xia Zhi was still in junior high school, he once fell in love with a girl, probably because of a lack of security, or the lack of a love, so he fell in love with someone early, but this relationship was so innocent that it ended without a problem.

Because of the coaxing of his classmates, the girl became disgusted with Xia Zhi, and even if he didn't do anything, the girl still hasn't spoken to him since.

This scar has been hidden in Xia Zhi's heart, and a few good friends in junior high school are also very sorry for this, but there is nothing to be done about it, Xia Zhi has to be prepared to prevent this kind of thing from happening, for himself, but also for the sake of the other party, not to be hurt by rumors The mood has been drifting.

So when they came out of the KTV that night, everyone was shouting: "Together!" At that time, Xia Zhi's brain was blank, and the darkness hidden in his heart suddenly struck, and turning around and leaving was already the result of his best efforts to control.

Obviously, in this noisy occasion, Xiaoman's attention was still full of hairy crabs on the table.

Don't have to accompany guests, don't have to cater to relatives and friends, don't have to worry about matters on the field, she has always been a heartless girl, and soon forgot most of the sadness that her undeveloped lover suddenly became a relative, which is the only thing that Xia Solstice has a little comfort.

But forgetting the pain does not mean forgetting the shackles.

The phrase "brother" is still between the two.

When the family was together, Xiaoman was smiling and happy when he called Xia Zhi, just as happy as when the two of them were together, and Xia Zhi also knew that she was really happy.

At this time, it is easy to treat that feeling as family affection, Xiaoman is like this, using everything to cover up what he doesn't want to face and don't want to believe, which is something that a fragile heart is very skilled to do.

Xiao Man now doesn't know what he is suffering.

But, that's fine.

Xia Zhi thought, at least she was still happy.

As for how to solve it, this is a man's business.

Summer solstice rare machismo once, of course, according to what the old man said, if this kind of thing is not solved by men, do women have to solve it? Xia Zhi felt that what the old man said was very good, so he believed and acted without pressure at all.

So now he sits next to Xiaoman and treats her with the attitude of an older brother, at least let her re-accept another image of herself, so that she can move easily in the future and communicate a little smoother.

"Because we started early, do you want to go with me or on the day of school?" Xia Solstice asked.

Xiao Man thought for a while, and completely lost the depression of the previous days: "It's better for me to go by myself when the time comes, I want to try what it's like to take the train alone." ”

"Then I'll tell you which gate I'm in, and then you can come to me, so that you don't have to go around and not know where to go."

"Hmm." Xiao Man nodded, looking at Xia Zhi's smile, his heart was much more settled.

That's good, isn't it?

twenty-three

Since then, Gu Yu and Xia Dongqing have lived happily ever after.

However, the days of the summer solstice were not easy.

Xiao Man seems to have completely entered the role of his sister, enjoying the favor of the summer solstice everywhere, and being taken care of like a princess by the summer solstice, but Xia Zhi knows that the most important thing now is to let Xiao Man calm down, so he has no choice but to do so.

Standing in front of the stove with an apron, Xia Zhi doesn't remember how long he hasn't cooked at home for so long, when he used to cook by himself, when his biological mother and stepfather were working outside, he didn't have time to take care of himself, and he didn't care much about life in the predicament, knowing that life had improved, they found that the summer solstice in the third year of junior high school had become a depressed teenager, and there was no way to change it.

Put down the frying spoon in his hand, Xia Zhi rarely felt a backache, he was cooking these days, because Xia Dongqing relied on his wealth to go on a honeymoon with Gu Yu, Xia Solstice must be Gu Yu's attention, leave himself and Xiaoman at home, and then take the opportunity to happen...

Xia Zhi knew that Gu Yu liked to read romance novels, but she didn't know that she had been poisoned so deeply.

"Brother, okay? Starving! Xiao Man called in the living room.

The summer solstice is full of black lines, this girl gets up at ten o'clock every day, gets up and turns on the TV and shouts hungry before watching an episode, I am motionless in the sofa but my appetite is as good as ever, and I haven't seen how much flesh she grows, and she is still that thin and small.

Bringing the three dishes to the table, Xia Zhi unbuttoned his apron and shouted: "Okay, let's eat!" After saying that, he walked into the bathroom with his apron still on the side, and heard a sound of slippers kicking, and Xiao Man ran over with his feet in his hands, and sat down at the table to take chopsticks.

Xia Zhi hurriedly shouted: "Xiaoman, wash your hands!" ”

Xiao Man pouted, reluctantly walked into the bathroom, squeezed Xia Solstice aside, turned on the faucet and began to wash his hands.

The sunlight in the bathroom was dim, and it was not clear in the mirror on the wash basin, but as soon as Xia Zhi looked up, he saw that when Xiao Man washed his hands, a completely invisible shadow was reflected in the mirror on the loose chest of her pajamas, Xia Zhi's face was red, and he looked down.

But when he lowered his head, his eyes were just on Xiao Man's white and tender neck, and the suspender of his underwear was exposed on one side of the crooked neckline.

Summer Solstice fled.

Others can't stand this kind of scene, Xiaoman is not a girl who cares about this kind of thing, but Xia Solstice is even more difficult to tell her, Xiaoman used to live alone, since coming to the house has changed a lot, there is still a period of adaptation, after all, it won't be long before I go to college, and dormitory life is even different, so Xia Solstice didn't change anything, I can only adapt, but I can't adapt...

"Brother, you didn't wash it either!" Xiao Man wiped his hands and saw Xia Zhi sitting at the table, pouting and puffing out his face and saying to him.

"Oh." Xia Zhi lowered his head and walked into the bathroom again, Xiao Man looked at him a little strangely, I don't know what happened to him, I thought about it and couldn't think about it, so I had to leave it alone, and immediately all my thoughts were gone, and I solved half a plate of cashew nuts and shrimp by dividing it by two levels.

Xia Zhi was still very happy when she watched her gobble, because the food she cooked could make her happy, and she was somewhat comforted.

Sitting at the table and slowly starting to eat, Xia Zhi and Xiaoman are completely different atmospheres, the table is hot, and the table is as quiet as autumn water, but it is very harmonious together, because when the two of them look up and look at each other, they look at each other and smile, and they are very happy.

The only thing that Xia Solstice can enjoy now is this feeling, happiness like relatives and lovers, as if there is no memory of the past, as if there will be no further development, pain, happiness, Xia Solstice feels like he is going to collapse.

But Xiaoman is still like this, I don't know if she is deceiving herself, or deceiving Xia Zhi, or if she is really determined to go on like this and no longer have shackles.

Xia Zhi didn't know that all he could do now was wait.

At this time he felt like a coward.

"I'm fed up with this feeling of powerlessness, but fortunately I'm leaving tomorrow." Xia Zhi said to the old man.

"Sometimes, people have to be negative once in a while so that they can live better."

"Really? Easier said than done. ”

"You're not a negative person, because you've never been positive once, aren't you, and now when you want to pursue something, you feel like there's nowhere to start, because you're too bland."

Xia Zhi pondered for a long time when he heard this, and the old man also didn't say anything more, just quietly waiting for him to figure it out, or if he couldn't figure it out.

Xia Solstice finally didn't fully understand it, why didn't I have a positive life, I've always been positive, right?

"Forget it, I'd better go back and get my luggage ready."

The old man smiled, did not leave him, let him go out, looked at the door closed and the room was dark again, and sighed.

There are some things, I still don't understand...

twenty-four

Xiaoman is quiet when he sleeps, and he is not as lively and active as when he is awake.

Xia Zhi watched Xiao Man fall asleep like this, I don't know what I dreamed of, my lips opened and closed, my brows furrowed slightly, I changed my smile, and there was a cute humming sound in my nostrils.

Xia Zhi stood up, gently closed the door, walked to his bedroom and began to pack.

Gu Yu walked in with the dried clothes: "Really don't tell her?" ”

Xia Zhi turned out to put the clothes in the suitcase: "If I say goodbye, even if she is still like this, I still feel uncomfortable, it is better to leave like this, go to school and look again, by the way, I also want to know..."

Xia Zhi paused as he spoke, remembering that day Xiaoman whispered to himself: "Brother Xia Zhi, next time... Don't suddenly disappear again, okay? I didn't answer the phone anymore, I didn't reply to the messages, I... I'm so scared..."

After a pause, Xia Zhi looked up at Gu Yu and said, "I want to know, what kind of status I have in her heart now." ”

Gu Yu wanted to say something when he saw Xia Solstice like this, but Xia Dongqing suddenly walked in and asked: "Xiaoyu, the clothes outside were blown up by the wind and hung on the anti-theft window on the second floor, I'm not familiar with it, Xia Solstice, you go and get it." ”

"Hmm." Xia Zhi put down the clothes in his hand and went out.

Gu Yu glanced at him: "What kind of wind can blow the clothes on the first floor to the second floor?" ”

Xia Dongqing smiled: "Didn't you see the two of you talking about this, it's useless to say anything now, I'm afraid that if you say something that shouldn't be said, it will affect the development of the bad thing." ”

"What can I not say?"

"If there are things I don't know if I should say until the results come out."

"Fill the head."

Xia Dongqing's face was helpless, as if she was already the lowest-level existence in this family.

Xia Zhi finally arrived at the station alone when Xiaoman was asleep and got on the train to Shenyang. Looking out the window at the scenery that has been flying by for three years, I still feel a little dazed, I still remember the first time I came to Shenyang, my stepfather had just passed away, his heart was painful, and he began to doubt the truth of marriage and happiness, and made up his mind to concentrate on his studies and work in college, and would not work hard for this relationship that would collapse at any time.
