Chapter 18: The First Time I Heard You Call My Name
Xu Huaisheng pushed open the door of the study room, and what he saw was the scene in front of him, the messy notes on the desk, the paper balls were thrown everywhere, he walked in with his feet up, and saw Zhong Yi who was doing a handstand, Xu Huaisheng was slightly stunned, Xu didn't want to disturb her, and walked lightly to the seat on the side and sat down.
The mobile phone rang suddenly, Xu Huaisheng hung up the phone in a little panic, and Zhong Yi, who was disturbed by the ringtone, raised his head and looked straight ahead, and recognized Xu Huaisheng who was facing away from her at a glance.
The other party Xu thought that he didn't make a noise, looked sideways at the back, and the moment his eyes met, in a trance, Xu Huaisheng, who was originally far away from her, suddenly appeared in front of her.
"What are you doing?"
The young man with gentle eyebrows and eyes crashed into her sight unexpectedly, with a heartfelt smile. Zhong didn't have time to retract his gaze, so he looked at him like this, his cheeks covered by hair, and he was red and hot.
Zhong Yi can't remember the first time this is, and when he makes eye contact, his cheeks are as hot as fire, and even if he sorts out all the messy thoughts, it will become complicated and tangled because of his shallow glance.
"Doing so clears my mind of cluttered thoughts, and I can pour out all my worries."
"Really?" There was a sound of clothes and fabrics rubbing beside him, Xu Huaisheng and Zhongyi were doing an upside-down posture side by side, the breeze gently blew in from the window, and the hair that fell on the hair around the line of sight fell softly and coolly on the back of Xu Huaisheng's hand.
"It seems that the troubles are really gone." Xu Huaisheng replied seriously and seriously.
"Hahaha, how can it be so magical, but I made it up, and you actually believed it." Zhong Yi smiled, and his whole body trembled.
"Favorite." Xu Huaisheng opened his mouth and called softly.
Zhong Yi was stunned, the smile that had not faded was slightly stiff on his lips, his eyes flashed brightly, and he was so excited that his arms could not support him and he fell.
"Hmm." Zhong Yi replied softly, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he stood up and patted the dust on his school uniform, but his heart was already excited.
It was the first time Zhong Yi heard Xu Huaisheng call her name, and the excitement in her heart was like suddenly seeing snow on a winter day in the south.
But it's different, this feeling is more real and intense.
The hair on the back of his hand quietly left, but the itchy feeling was still on it, Xu Huaisheng narrowed his eyes, turned over and stood up and patted the dust in his palm. "Let's review together."
The afternoon sun is exceptionally good, refracting through the glass on the tabletop, projecting on Xu Huaisheng's shoulder, the heavy shadow that falls surrounds Xu Huaisheng, and the good-looking side face is plated with a layer of soft light under the sunlight.
Zhong Yi was half-lying on the desk, with a small note on the empty lunch box on the side, and the piano tune could be clearly heard from Xu Huaisheng's headphones hanging on his chest.
"Here, you can try it first." Xu Huaisheng put the paper with the mathematical formula question written in front of Zhong Yi, and his slender and clean fingers picked up the gel pen on the side and wrote the answer on the test question.
Zhong Yi picked out the one that Xu Huaisheng had used from the many pens, looked sideways at Xu Huaisheng's right hand holding the pen, smacked his lips and said: "Xu Huaisheng, it's a pity that your hands don't play the piano." ”
Xu Huaisheng stopped writing and looked sideways at Zhongyi. "Perhaps."
…………
When Gu Wei pushed open the door of the study room, Zhong Yi and Xin Rui were packing their schoolbags, and under the half-open window, there was the sound of students laughing.
After Gu Wei looked around, his eyes were on Zhong Yi, and his lips moved a few times, mixing with the noisy sound outside the window.
Hello, my name is Gu Wei.
That was the first time Zhong Yi met Gu Wei, she was beautiful and maybe a good girl, but the label she had attached to her before was just "Xu Huaisheng's childhood sweetheart".
So, one step closer, tore off the original label and added the name.
It's just that he was scrutinized by Xin Rui's hostile gaze, and finally judged that this was a "rival in love"!
Zhong Yi couldn't cry or laugh, the other party just came up to say hello in a friendly way, but he was named a "rival in love".
Xin Rui said: "Never despise the people around you who you like, especially women. ”
The other party left without chatting a few words, and when he left, he glanced back at Zhongyi, bent his lips and smiled, and the refreshing and clean ponytail bent into a small arc in the air and disappeared around the corner.
Zhongyi looked at the empty doorway and fell into deep thought.
…………
The moment he closed the cap, Zhong Yi exhaled with a sigh of relief, and handed the test paper in his hand to the invigilator after checking it to confirm that there were no loopholes.
Turning back to his seat, he packed up his things and walked out of the classroom with light feet. happened to meet Qiao Yu, who was about to enter the classroom from outside, and Qiao Yu greeted him with a smile. "I'm done with the exam, how is it?"
"I shouldn't have failed the test."
"Zhongyi, let's go."
Qiao Yu wanted to say something, but when he saw Xin Rui walking towards the side from the classroom, his Adam's apple rolled a few times and finally said, "See you at the beginning of school." ”
"Hmm."
"Did Qiao Yu bully you?" After Xin Rui saw Qiao Yu leave, she leaned close to Zhongyi and asked in a low voice: "If he dares to bully you, I will never spare him first!" ”
"No? What's wrong. ”
"I feel that Qiao Yu has looked at you strangely in the past few days, and I thought he was bullying you, and there was a sense of guilt in his heart that made him panic."
The two walked down the stairs side by side, smiling and flicking Xin Rui's smooth forehead, "Xiao Ruizi, what did you say you had in your head." It's a shame that you don't want to be a detective. ”
"Hey, please call me Sherry Holmes." Xin Rui made a motion of spitting smoke rings, and then the whole person was half-lying on Zhongyi's body again. "Where are you going on Saturdays and Sundays?"
Zhong Yi tilted his head and thought for a long time, and said, "Play games at home!" ”
Xin Rui glanced at Zhong Yi, then got up from Zhong Yi, threw the school uniform in his hand into the air and turned his head to Zhong Yi and said, "I heard that there are a few good movies on the market, why don't we go to the movies and call Yu Chuan together." ”
Zhong Yi raised his head slightly and looked at the school uniform in the air, the dazzling light came directly, his eyes stinged and half-narrowed, and he replied softly: "Okay." ”
The school uniform was firmly caught by Xin Rui, and a bright smile bloomed on her lips. "Okay, I'll see you at the station tomorrow afternoon."
At six o'clock on Saturday morning, Zhong Yi was woken up by the noisy sound in the courtyard, and with his messy hair and sleepy eyes, he lay on the window, looking at Father Zhong, who was doing military boxing in the courtyard, and got up and came up angrily.
"Dad! Can you turn off the stereo! ”
The infinitely amplified music in the ears is the military song often sung in the army in the last era, Zhong Yi will not be much interested in the old songs in the future, except for the time when the whole family went to watch the drama together, and when the curtain call was about to sing the familiar songs that belonged to his parents, Zhong Yi's heart was only shocked and in awe of the old artists on stage.
Because of the large generation gap, Zhong's father's favorite music is always not interested in it, but he still listens to it, and after listening to it, Zhong's father asked Zhong Yi excitedly how is it?
Zhong Yi looked confused, nodded dumbfounded, and said: Well, it's okay.
The music in the courtyard gradually became a lot quieter, Zhong Yi rubbed his eyebrows, sleepy, changed his clothes and went downstairs to wash, passing by the study Zhong Yi glanced in, Zhong Yi was rummaging through the cabinets.
"Dad, what are you looking for?"
"I put the CD I bought some time ago here, why can't I find it?"
"Oh, my mom took it away."
After saying that, he yawned and walked into the kitchen, took the fresh milk from the refrigerator and poured it into the cup, picked up the sandwich on the plate on the side, and walked to the living room table and sat down.
Zhong Yi took a bite of the sandwich and watched Father Zhong come out of the study and go outside, and then, the sound that was turned off in the courtyard through a wall sounded again, and the song was changed to "Unity is Strength".
The hand holding the milk trembled, and with the words "towards the sun and towards freedom", Zhong Yi wanted to break down the door and turn off the sound that was full of noise and filtered out the original timbre.
"Don't you know that it will provoke complaints from neighbors!"
After eating breakfast, Zhong Yi rubbed at the entrance for a while, pushed the door open, and a heat wave mixed with rolled dust came to his face, blurring his vision, Zhong Yi saw An Shu standing under the sun and seriously following Zhong's father to learn military boxing.
didn't have time to dodge, Zhong Yi raised his arm to cover his cheek, listened to the infinitely looping military song in his ear, and seemed to return to the military training meeting just now.
I suddenly began to complain in my heart that the temperature of September, which was about to end, was still hot and breathless, and even the cicadas this year were extraordinarily prolonged.
