Chapter 7: The Old Rain Reunites
Since the contact with Xu Ruqing, running Shen'er seems to have become He Yu's daily life.
Wen Guanyu poked He Yu's face with a pen, "Dude, what do you want?" It's all over class, why don't you move, and you haven't even taken a single math note. ”
What is He Yu thinking? Since the last dead fish incident, he is also curious about why he always cares about Xu Ruqing's every move inexplicably or unconsciously, Xu Ruqing is an unstable factor in the eyes of others, but in his eyes, it is more like a mystery to be solved, just like a treasure sold in a display case, not only separated from people by glass, but also tightly wrapped in black gauze. But the tighter it is wrapped, the more it attracts people to want to lift the veil.
Finally waiting for the recess, Yang Youan leaned into Xu Ruqing's ear and whispered, "At the same table, this new girl has been staring at you for a class," and looked back at Chi Yingyue who was sitting at the back table, the person still maintained the posture before the math class - staring at Xu Ruqing with one hand and his chin in support.
"Did you know each other before?" Yang Youan asked.
Xu Ruqing nodded, his face unwavering, "It's my former classmate." ”
"Oh~ I said, I've been staring at you, and I haven't changed my posture." After Yang Youan finished speaking, he lay on the table, as if he had finally satisfied his curiosity that had been holding back for a class, and closed his eyes and fell asleep with peace of mind.
Chi Yingyue stood at the door of Xu Ruqing's house carrying a small bag of raw pork ribs and a few bags of soup stock, and looked at Xu Ruqing who was walking home from a distance.
Xu Ruqing also saw the person in front of the house, hesitated for a moment, but thought that some words had to be counted clearly, and raised his feet and walked towards Chi Yingyue.
"Qing, you're back."
"Hmm." Xu Ruqing's subordinates quickly entered the password, and at noon she had already called the locksmith to dismantle the original lock, used a little of her pocket money, and replaced it with a password lock, saving the trouble of carrying the key with her.
With a gac, the door opened.
Chi Yingyue couldn't hide the joy in her heart, she hadn't spoken to Xu Ruqing so close for a long time, and she couldn't even speak coherently for a while, "Qing, I, I brought pork ribs, I know you don't like to cook, I'll stew pork ribs for you tonight, and then steam some rice, do you have rice at home?" If not, I'll go to the supermarket and buy it again. ”
Xu Ruqing stopped pushing the door in his hand and turned his head to look at Chi Yingyue, but there was no joy on his face that the old rain should reunite. opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to call her, but in the end she still couldn't call her by the name she usually called.
"I don't want to eat it", Xu Ruqing was silent for a moment and continued, "You can take it back." ”
As soon as Xu Ruqing stepped into the door with one foot, the person behind her grabbed the corner of her clothes, "Qing, are you still angry with me?" ”
"Nope." Xu Ruqing still had his back to her.
"You've been hiding from me for more than a year, and you don't answer calls or text messages." Chi Yingyue's tone was full of loss and guilt, "Xu Yan has also been abroad for a long time, I didn't expect that incident to have such a big impact on you." ”
Xu Ruqing turned around and looked at Chi Yingyue with a serious face, "Do you like my brother very much?" ”
Chi Yingyue lowered her head, a gust of evening wind blew, and the broken hair next to her ears was still flying wantonly. After a long time, Xu Ruqing heard Chi Yingyue's answer, "I like it very much." ”
After Chi Yingyue finished speaking, she hurriedly raised her head, looked at Xu Ruqing with anxious eyes, and couldn't help but sweat a thin layer of sweat on the hand holding the corner of Xu Ruqing's clothes, for fear that the person in front of her would be angry, "But I haven't contacted him anymore, things are not what you think." Qing, don't be angry, okay? I know you like ...... too."
"I don't like him anymore." Xu Ruqing interrupted Chi Yingyue's words, brushed her hand away, and turned around and entered the door.
The black door was closed, and Chi Yingyue stood outside the door and recalled what Xu Ruqing had just said, and was sad for a while, like a fish in her throat.
Already...... Don't like it?
The main color of the interior decoration is black, white and gray, and the living room is very spacious, with only a wall-mounted TV, a white marble coffee table and a sofa that is only large enough for one person to lie down, and a gray circular carpet in the middle, which makes the living room even more empty.
The home is an open kitchen, the kitchen space is large, but it is just a decoration, and a thin layer of dust has accumulated on the gas stove. This refrigerator seems to be used a lot, but it is only used to store snacks and various milks.
Xu Ruqing was wearing a black suspender nightdress nestled in the sofa, feeling a little hungry and walked barefoot to the kitchen. When I opened the refrigerator door, I saw everything at a glance, and there was nothing to eat. I had to go back the way I came, nestled back into the sofa, and pulled up the corner of the blanket to cover my body.
Xu Ruqing slid the interface of his mobile phone weakly, he was in a bad mood and didn't want to eat takeout.
clicked on the monitoring on the mobile phone, and in the surveillance screen at the door, Chi Yingyue was still standing in place. It was already completely dark, and I didn't know how long Ji Yingyue would have to stand.
Xu Ruqing was draped in a blanket, and the door was only opened by a crack, "You go, don't go home too late." With that, he closed the door again.
Chi Yingyue was overjoyed at first, thinking that Xu Ruqing had really softened, and then raised the corner of her mouth and snorted coldly, and couldn't help laughing, her expression was slightly hideous, which was suddenly contrary to her usual friendly image, and she muttered to herself, her tone was full of disdain, "What are you fighting with me." ”
Outside the window, the sky was completely dark, and the voice of the hero and heroine in the TV was still ringing, but the people lying on the carpet did not listen to a word. Glancing sideways at the watch on the wall, it's already eight o'clock?
Opening the monitoring interface outside the door of the mobile phone, Xu Ruqing's beautiful eyebrows furrowed suddenly, and he raised his hand to press his temples, and his brain hurt uncontrollably.
It's been a week, and at eight o'clock every night, Chi Yingyue stood obediently in front of the door on time with a lunch box and waited for Xu Ruqing to open the door.
Chi Yingyue wore a high ponytail, wearing a red and white school uniform, with one hand in her pocket and a thermos lunch box in the other, looking around from time to time, and kicking the small stones at her feet from time to time, but there was no impatient expression on her face, and she looked very well-behaved.
A gust of evening breeze blew in her face, and Chi Yingyue sneezed, then pulled her collar, trying not to let the wind get into her clothes.
But where does the wind know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and continue to be powerful, the leaves of the big banyan tree in the yard were blown to the side, the crown of the tree was blown to one side, and the long hair of the pond reflecting the moon outside the door was also flying wantonly. The clouds overhead were black and oppressive, and soon it began to rain.
The rain came in a hurry, and Chi Yingyue's coat was wet all of a sudden. Seeing that it was raining, her first instinct was to protect the lunch box in her arms, and then she moved two steps to hide under the eaves, her back almost close to the cold door.
Xu Ruqing suddenly remembered that when he was in class today, he vaguely heard the sound of Chi Yingyue sitting behind him coughing. Now I see her being drenched in the rain again, and she is still holding the lunch box tightly in her arms, and a soft place in her heart is gently knocked.
Xu Ruqing sighed, stood up from the carpet, and the blanket that covered her body just now also slid to her feet as she got up.
Picking up a long black coat hanging in the hallway, wrapping it around his body, pushing open the door, holding an umbrella, and hurried through the courtyard.
The door was opened with a squeak, and Chi Yingyue, who had been drooping her head, suddenly looked up at the person inside the door, her smile was very bright and clean, and when she smiled, she also showed a small corner of the tiger's teeth, very well-behaved and cute, and looked harmless to humans and animals. "Qing, the ribs you brought." As he spoke, he lifted the lunch box in his arms and shook it.
Xu Ruqing took the lunch box with one hand, although there was no superfluous expression on his face, he opened the door wider, "Come in." ”
Chi Yingyue naturally got under the umbrella and followed Xu Ruqing back to the house.
Xu Ruqing put the umbrella together, propped it at the door, and after entering the door, he brought Chi Yingyue straight to the door of the bathroom. Pushing open the bathroom door, he turned back to Chi Yingyue and said, "Take a shower, I'll put clean clothes at the door." ”
Chi Yingyue nodded and responded, "Okay." He obediently entered the bathroom and closed the door.
