During the two-month summer vacation, Zhong Xiang didn't go anywhere at home, guarding her for a small day, fiddling with the photos she had taken with all her painstaking efforts.

Whether Xu Huaisheng coerced or seduced, or grinded hard bubbles, he even didn't hesitate to self-destruct his image to see his girlfriend, and he had to grind for more than ten days before he could get her to nod and agree.

There are too many reasons why I don't see him: I am in a bad mood, I can't finish too much homework, I lose interest in life, I always feel that there is someone missing around me, and even life has become boring.

But I can't tell which one it is.

She didn't want her inexplicable emotions to affect Xu Huaisheng, and she didn't want to make trouble for him, so she could only drag it out again and again, lock herself in the dark room, keep cleaning the photos, drying them, and eliminate all kinds of messy thoughts in her mind, repeatedly.

On the afternoon of seeing Xu Huaisheng again, Zhong Yi came out of the dark room, her forehead oozed dense fine sweat, and her hair was sticky on both sides of her cheeks, which was very uncomfortable, but she ignored it, walked straight into the living room, and walked to Xu Huaisheng, who she hadn't seen for a week.

He turned his head and smiled at her, with an emotion in his eyes that only love could read, doting, worrying, reassuring......

Mother Zhong took out the washed fruit bowl from the kitchen, saw Zhong Yi standing in place stupidly, and blamed her for not being polite at a glance, and saw that she didn't pay attention to her image, like a scavenger who came out of the desert, she and Father Zhong sighed helplessly and helplessly.

"Come, eat some fruit, you're welcome." Zhong Mu pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Xu Huaisheng's gaze, all of which were full of approval.

"Thank you, Auntie." Xu Huaisheng lowered his eyes slightly, his fingertips gently rubbed the apple handed to him by Zhong's mother, but his mind was completely attracted by the person standing next to him.

Father Zhong took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said to Zhong Yi: "Why are you still standing stupidly, why don't you wash your face quickly, and see your classmates like this." ”

Zhong Yi walked slowly to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and poured a handful of water on his face. She slowly raised her head and looked at the embarrassed girl in her glasses, her eyes, which should have been bright and clear, were now dull and gray.

When she walked out of the bathroom, Xu Huaisheng was the only one sitting in the living room, and her meaning was a little unclear: "Why are you alone, my parents?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Huaisheng raised his head to look at her, hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "Auntie and uncle said that they had something to do, so they left first." Do you want to go out for a walk? ”

The sun shines down and plunges into the endless sea, and the sound of waves crashing against the reef near the shore can be heard not far away, and the sand beneath your feet becomes extra soft.

Zhong Yi held sandals in his hand, stepping on the hot sand with his bare feet, Xu Huaisheng followed behind her step by step, occasionally turning his head to glance at the endless sea, crushing the eyes of the stars, and he was not alarmed.

At 3:10 p.m., when the sun was scorching, the sea breeze carried the hot and humid air, and gently opened a strand of hair hanging down from Zhongyi's neck, revealing a small slender and white neck.

They wandered aimlessly on the beach, and after a while, when they were tired, they sat down on the sand with their legs outstretched, and then lay down again and looked at the blue sky above them in silence.

Xu Huaisheng sat beside her without saying a word, and after a while, he opened his mouth to break the quiet atmosphere between the two, and his deep voice drifted into Zhongyi's eardrums along the sea breeze: "Zhongyi, do you know that you are not good at hiding your heart at all." Whether you're happy or not, sad or not, you'll be exposed to your eyes, even if you're pretending to be like a nobody. ”

He babbled a lot, listening silently, as if listening to him talk about another person, and there was no superfluous emotion on his face, just like Xu Huaisheng said, her eyes had already betrayed her.

"Look, it's like this." He leaned over and moved closer to her, and the exhaled breath splashed on Zhongyi's cheeks, warm, with the nice smell of soap on his body, "There's nothing wrong with that, it allows me to guess what you're thinking, and I won't fumble and I won't understand your thoughts." ”

Zhongyi's cheeks became hotter and hotter, I don't know if it was the sun above her head, or because she was shy, her whole person was like a boiled shrimp, and her eyes dodged Xu Huaisheng's gaze everywhere.

This posture is too ambiguous, like something indescribable will happen in the next second, Zhong Zhong raised his hand to cover his cheek, unwilling to be seen by Xu Huaisheng what she is now, even in front of him, she was embarrassed, just like at this time, the cowardice and helplessness in her eyes.

"I just can't figure out why he didn't even say goodbye to me when he left. Is it so hard to say goodbye? ”

"Him?"

"Yasuki."

"He's gone. Because I didn't say goodbye to you, that's why you're depressed. ”

"I'm not depressed, I just can't figure out how shallow our relationship is. I'm so good to him, but he'......"

"Look, you still said that you weren't unhappy, and it was clearly written on your face." Xu Huaisheng took away the hand covering her face and gently put it into his palm. Zhong Yi had an unhappy face, like sad and a little aggrieved. He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes fluttered a few times, and said, "He just doesn't want you to be sad, parting is sad." Some people don't like to say goodbye, like they'll never see each other again, and you know, there's a good chance that someone will be repeated in your life. ”

Zhong Yi was suddenly relieved, and she smiled: "For the sake of you coaxing me so hard, I shouldn't be infecting you with bad feelings." ”

Xu Huaisheng couldn't deny it, and raised his eyebrows: "For the sake of me coaxing you so hard, shouldn't I give a reward?" ”

Zhong Yi sat up from the beach suddenly, and because the action was too large, he hit Xu Huaisheng's chin, only to hear a low sound of pain in his ears, and he was half-mixed with jokes: "Well, this reward is too special." ”

"Does it hurt?" She bent down and carefully examined Xu Huaisheng's slightly flushed chin, looking guilty.

Xu Huaisheng's eyebrows were half bent, the tips of his eyes were dyed with golden sunlight, his face suddenly approached her, and the warm lips were gently pressed against Zhongyi's lips, and he was not in a hurry to deepen the kiss.

The flush that had just subsided quickly crept up to both ears. Xu Huaisheng straightened up, squinted and smiled, like a child who had succeeded in his prank, looking at Zhong Yi's shy expression, with unprecedented pleasure.

…………

After receiving Qin Ge's midnight "fierce bell", Zhong Yi tossed and turned due to insomnia, and it was difficult to sleep. The mobile phone showed that the time was 10:14, and she lay down with her eyes closed for more than two hours, still unable to fall asleep.

Qin Ge asked her out for supper.

The location was chosen at a 24-hour open-air barbecue stall near her home.

Zhong Yi appeared at the barbecue stall with her hair scattered, because the street lights in this area were often not lit, the light was a little dim, and under the smoke of the barbecue, she didn't find Qin Ge in the half of the crowd for a while.

Just as she was at a loss, Qin Ge waved his arm at her constantly, and his dazzling and eye-catching pink hair was particularly eye-catching in the crowd. She shouted, "Hey, Zhongyi, this! ”

Zhong Yi wrapped the coat on his body, trotted all the way to Qin Ge's table, and sat down opposite her. Then stared at her pink hair for a long time, and unceremoniously picked up a skewer of roasted duck liver and stuffed it into his mouth: "My brother's aesthetic has been feeling quite normal recently, whose appetite are you catering to?" ”

Qin Ge took off the wig she was wearing on her head, revealing her long black and bright hair, and only then did she notice that her face makeup and wig were the same color.

"I just finished the classmate party, and I need it on the spot." Qin Ge picked up the beer glass on the side, took a sip, and put down the wine glass: "Besides, your brother is not here, so I don't know if his aesthetics will be short-circuited." ”

Zhong Yi frowned slightly: "It's boring, isn't it?" And you continue to drink? ”

"It's just beer, it doesn't matter." Qin Ge finished a glass of beer with a boldness, and the smile on his face gradually expanded: "If it weren't for the old man's tight control, the liquor would still be drunk." ”

"What do you call this, drink to drown your sorrows?" Zhong Yi smiled.

"I don't think as much as you do." Qin Ge waved his hand nonchalantly and muttered, "How do you think it's you who has something on your mind?" ”

Zhong Yi just lowered his head and ate meat of unknown origin, chewing and swallowing. She poured herself a glass of beer, took a big sip, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that your father will beat you when you go back after drinking?" ”

"I'm afraid. The old man himself is a drunkard, but he strictly forbids me to drink, and I just want to be angry with him. ”

"You're arguing again?" Zhong Yi can't remember clearly, the reason why Qin Ge called her out late at night to eat barbecue and drink alcohol and commit suicide was because she had a quarrel with her father and almost didn't have much to do with it.

Their father and daughter, with the same stubborn temper, refused to bow their heads first and admit their mistakes when they were unhappy, and deliberately tortured their bodies to anger each other.

"It's not a quarrel, it's just a difference of opinion. I'm going to Kenya, where there are treasures to explore. You know, for us archaeologists, that's the temptation. But the old man did not agree with me to go, and said a lot of things to persuade me to give up. Qin Ge took a big sip of beer and continued: "When I first studied archaeology, it was also the old man's meaning, and the old man thought that when I graduated, I would inherit his old antiques, and I wouldn't wait for him to die and be buried in the earth and finally dug up." But I had my own idea, and the old man was not happy, and refused to agree. ”

"Kenya is in the middle of Africa, so far away, are you sure you want to run there?"

"Otherwise, the profession can't be in vain."

Zhong Yi couldn't figure it out before, but now she understands that when a person really likes a certain interest, no matter how the outside world hinders, he still insists on himself.

"So, do you want to come with me? It's boring to be alone. But one more and you won't. Qin Ge narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

"I can't be as carefree as you." Zhong Yi thought about it and resigned himself to giving up Qin Ge's proposal.

Her obsession with photography has not yet reached the point of selflessness.

"In life, you have to be free and easy. Do it before you want to do it, but don't wait until the obstruction grows to regret that you didn't make the decision sooner. ”

"Qin Ge, you teach me to dive."

Qin Ge couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at her: "Do you really want to learn?" ”

Zhong Yi nodded, his expression unwavering.

"Okay, classes start tomorrow. But let me tell you, professional diving equipment is a lot more expensive than a camera. The corners of Qin Ge's mouth hooked, revealing an interesting smile, and said half-jokingly.

"Well, it looks like it's going to be quite a big deal." Zhong Yi raised his beer glass to celebrate their partnership.
