"Well, I'm afraid it's not going to get better." Zhong Yi raised his hand and touched his nose, and replied vaguely: "Just like a patient who is afraid of heights, he will get sick when he reaches a high place." There is no cure, only restraint. ”

Xin Rui flipped through the menu and said, "Then why do you still eat fish?" I have eaten it for more than ten years, and it is still the same species of fish. ”

Zhong Yi felt that her question was too two, and it was not suitable to answer it in a dinner situation, so she was silent. The heated box was a little stuffy, she took off her school uniform jacket, put it on the back of the chair, rested her elbows on the table and supported her chin, and looked sideways at the complicated scenery outside the window.

There was a vast sea under her eyes, thoughts were surging, and memories were rushing towards her like a tide, dull and breathless.

That's also the past she doesn't want to think about the most, and she doesn't want to think about it, ashamed to express it, and it's hard to speak.

She vividly remembers that it was a winter afternoon, and the sun was dazzling, sparkling on the sea. She was playing a game of "jumping" with a group of friends of the same age on the reef. Whoever jumps the farthest and highest from this reef to that reef is the first to take the first place.

After defeating several opponents in quick succession, she decided to take on the most impossible challenge of all—jumping from a low reef to the highest reef a meter away.

Everyone held their breath and watched with great interest as she took off and jumped in the air, like a seagull flying low under the blue sky, landing lightly on the highest reef.

Before she could show off her god-like jump, an accident happened.

Under the action of inertia, she stumbled under her feet, her body staggered and it was difficult to maintain balance, and unfortunately she fell off the reef.

Underneath the reef is the endless sea.

The icy sea water seemed to penetrate her eardrums, Zhong wanted to hold her breath, opened her eyes wide, swam with her hands and feet, and saw that her head was about to show the sea, but because of the down jacket she was wearing, she absorbed the water, and her limbs were out of strength, dragging her small body to the bottom of the sea heavily.

With a strong desire to survive, she began to struggle in the sea, opened her mouth to call for help, but forgot that she was in the sea, poured a few mouthfuls of seawater, and her stomach was strongly pressed and uncomfortable, and her consciousness was about to be swallowed by the seawater.

Luckily, there were several fishing boats docked along the coast, and she was picked up from the sea by her catchers and thrown on the deck.

After relieving himself, Zhong Yi began to care about how to get rid of the unusually unpleasant fishy smell of the soaked down jacket? Instead of the horror scene she had just experienced, she almost died feeding fish in the sea.

The uncle kindly sent her home, and unfortunately got on the truck with the sea fish, next to the foam box containing the sea fish, the fishy smell spread on the tip of her nose, and her stomach turned over for a while, but she didn't dare to spit it out, and held her breath like in the sea, until she got home.

Zhong Yi was soaked, and when she saw Zhong Mu, she opened her mouth and shouted "Mom", and as soon as she exhaled, the strong fishy smell continued to pour into her nasal cavity, and her stomach turned over again.

When Mother Zhong learned the ins and outs, she scolded her while beating her, and tears fell down her eyes. That was the first time Zhong Yi saw the always elegant Zhong Mu, and she actually cried in front of her, and she realized that things were no longer as simple as sticking to the fishy smell on the down jacket.

Xin Rui still learned that Zhong Yi had such a history from exchanging little secrets between her girlfriends, and after listening to her narration, she was surprised for a long time, and opened her mouth to say: "Stupid enough!" Enough for your style! ”

Zhong Yi also felt that he was quite stupid at that time, and he never dared to say it, just like Lu Yuchuan was forced to wear women's clothes, which was a symbol of shame.

Who wants to show off her shame everywhere, but she feels that she is stupid and reasonable, and she is very proud to say that other children are scared to cry, and she is stunned that she has not shed a single tear, is it not enough to show that she is brave and has a tough heart.

Xin Rui looked at her with a strange look and said, "Isn't there a deep-sea phobia when you fell into the sea and was fished up after a few flutters?" How did it become a fishy smell? ”

Zhong Yi shook her head, even she herself was very puzzled, she thought for a while, and gave a reasonable explanation: "I have smelled all the fishy smell in this life, you say you can not contradict it." ”

She vomited and diarrhea for many days before she recovered.

Since then, I can't smell fishy, but eat fish, and there is no psychological barrier at all.

…………

After eating, the two began to struggle with where to play again.

Xin Rui suggested going to the pedestrian street to take a stroll and eat less. There are a lot of people there, and it is also lively, unlike here where it is deserted and desolate.

Zhong Yi said: "Lively is lively, but it is crowded around with people, which is boring." Besides, there are more than a dozen streets from the pedestrian street, do you want to go to the wasteland? ”

"Then you say, what's interesting around here?" Xin Rui crossed her arms over her chest, curled the corners of her lips, and looked at her with interest.

"Internet café!" Zhong Yi noticed An Shu's glance at her, her eyes were cold, which made her tremble, and she said haha: "It's so late, haha, or go back to your own house." ”

Xin Rui obviously hadn't played enough, and was bored by the second half of her sentence, and waved her hand: "Yes, I really shouldn't expect too much from you." ”

"You should have understood." Zhong Yi made up for it.

In the end, the three of them decided to go to a nearby flower and bird market, during which they had to pass through the aquatic market, and they liked to look good, but this was a shortcut to the flower and bird market, and they didn't have to go any other way.

She covered her mouth and nose with a tissue, quickly walked out of the aquatic market, and then moved farther away from the aquatic market, and then put down the tissue and breathed in the extraordinarily mellow fresh air.

Xin Rui glanced at her and shook her head: "You are not only a psychological disorder, but it has risen to the point of madness." People who are afraid of heights can also walk around the high places, and later they will go to the flower and bird market, and there are all kinds of fish. ”

See, there's a communication barrier and that's it.

Zhong Yi didn't bother to pay attention to her talking about her "psychological defects" all night, but I just felt that this little girl was particularly abnormal tonight, but I couldn't say what the problem was, self-hypnosis She was caring about herself, and she should understand and accept it.

"Okay, we'll go home after buying." As soon as she entered the flower and bird market, Zhong Yi reminded Xin Rui that she was afraid that she would overplay and forget to go home.

Xin Rui, who was walking in front of them, turned her back to her and waved her hand, "Well, don't worry. ”

Zhong Yi silently watched Xin Rui's lively figure quickly plunge into the shop selling ornamental fish, and as soon as her brain remembered the two green turtles in the fish tank in her bedroom, she began to faintly worry that the ornamental fish or turtles she was about to buy home might not live to live tomorrow.

Xin's mother has always opposed Xin Rui raising some small animals, and she can't raise too much, and if she exceeds the limit, she can only throw it into the toilet. For this reason, Xin Rui is secretly raised, and he continues to raise those who are secretly buying alive.

Anyway, it's against Xin's mother.

For this reason, the mother and daughter also quarreled, and for a while, the two green-haired turtles raised by Xin Rui were placed in her for a long time before they were taken away.

Zhong Yi raised his hand and looked at the time, it was still early, and it would take a while for Xin Rui to finish picking out a new pet. It's not interesting to wait, she looked sideways at An Shu, pursed her lips and smiled, "Do you need me to accompany you to go shopping?" ”

An Shu stared at her with subtle eyes, Zhong Yi only agreed at that time, his hands in his pockets and his steps, admiring the flowers, birds, insects and fish placed in the shops on both sides.

The market is bustling during the day and has a lot of traffic, but at night it gradually becomes deserted, and some shops close early, so since then, there are only a few places to visit.

"I see your fish tank has been empty for a long time, why don't you buy a few butterflyfish?" Zhong Yi half-bent over, pointed his index finger at the butterflytail fish that was constantly swimming in the glass tank, turned his head to look at An Shu who was standing behind him, his eyes were slightly bright, and the corners of his lips were smiling.

An Shu took a few steps forward, stopped beside her, looked in the direction of her finger, and heard her voice ringing in her ears: "Either you learn from Xinrui and raise a pair of little turtles, you don't need much skill, just throw some food regularly." After all, turtles have a long lifespan, are easier to raise than ornamental fish, and will not starve to death. ”

"I don't keep fish. The fish tank was given to him by a colleague in my father's company, and he raised goldfish for a few days, and then died, and never raised any other fish. An Shu pursed the corners of his lower lip, as if suppressing a smile, "Such a big fish tank, are you sure you want to put two little turtles in it?" ”

Zhong Yi straightened up and recalled the vacant fish tank area of his house, which was quite large, and it was more than enough to raise dozens of ornamental fish.

"Well, it's okay to raise it up." Zhong Yi didn't hold back and laughed out loud.

An Shu lost her previous estrangement, looked at her and couldn't stand up with a smile, helplessly followed the corners of her lips, naturally took her hand and left the store, and walked to the flower shop next door.

Zhong Yi was stunned for a few seconds, looking at the hand he was holding up, and he couldn't adapt for a few seconds. She thought to herself that the Cold War must have been too long and caused the orientation to be wrong.

When she arrived at the door of the flower shop, An Shu let go of the hand holding her and began to carefully select the potted plants for the occasion on the flower stand, and asked her softly from time to time if this kind of placement looked good at home.

I liked to browse the various potted plants on the flower stands, and finally chose two pots of pothos and a pot of cactus balls. An Shu raised her eyebrows, probably guessing that she would choose it, so what she asked before only added some interest to her, and she didn't think that she could give a substantive answer.

I cut the price with the boss in half, and I happily walked out of the flower shop with two pots of pothos, and it happened that Xin Rui picked out a new pet and bought a lot of turtle food, and the three met in the center of the market.

"What number is this?" Zhong Yi bent down slightly, stretched out his index finger and poked the shell of the Brazilian turtle in the fish tank, and asked curiously.

"Agent Twelve." Xin Rui narrowed her eyes and said with a grin.

Zhong Yi withdrew his hand and sighed: "I hope it is the last one, and there will be no more thirteen or fourteen ...... behind"

Xin Rui: "......"

When he went back, An Shu staggered home with two pots of fresh pothos hanging at both ends, got down from the back seat, gave the cactus to An Shu, and told him to take good care of the "Cactus No. 1", don't be like Xin Rui, and derive even a few from the back.

He carried two pots of pothos and went home directly.
