Chaohai was lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to close his eyes. I always unconsciously think of the girl I saw in Haidilao that day.

He recognized the boy. After all, he is an extremely important and untouchable character for their hipsters. He remembered that day when he was out for a walk, he happened to bump into the tide walking with him, talking and laughing freely, which made him feel like a great enemy. Memories of the past spread out in front of my eyes, melting into flesh and blood with a cone of pain.

is different from the eldest brother, the girl's eyebrows, eyes, and smile are very similar to her in the past. But he clearly saw something of his own in that dexterous and delicate facial features.

People like people who have something in common with them.

Chaohai sighed, his brows furrowed more and more tight.

He thought of the tides again. In front of her, her always stubborn eyebrows appeared, and her paranoid intelligence flickered and jumped in them, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that it did not match her own recklessness and clumsiness. The last slap was not light, and he realized it when he withdrew his hand. But he was still ruthless, and did not show a trace of regret and remorse in his expression. He thinks that he has a reason to do this, and he also adheres to the original intention of teaching her daughter a lesson.

But at this moment, thinking of the slap with all his strength again, Chaohai's heart was like a knife for a moment.

Xia Cicada has always felt that the tide has been unexpectedly depressed in the past two days.

She hadn't seen her life come to an end. In this morning's listening class, the teacher asked Tidal to explain the answers to the questions she listened to, and to her surprise, she only got two of the ten questions right.

The stunned eyes of the listening teacher, including the first class, were all cast on her.

"How did you do that?"

Xia Chan ran over after school, and his tone was angry.

"Why are you like a frosted eggplant all this time?"

Tidal put away the books on the table and got up and pushed the chair back under the table.

"It's nothing, maybe the eldest aunt comes too often."

She gave a plain reason.

Does she want to tell Xia Chan that the person she likes is a person who cannot be touched for a lifetime? Does she want to make Xia Chan feel like she has been reduced to what she is now for a mere boy? Is she going to put herself in a situation where she can't afford to let go?

It's all your own wishful thinking. Same as those days in high school.

When she listened to her listening in the morning, the French conversations and news swirled outside her head, and she couldn't get in. Because all the space inside has been tightly occupied by Jiang Qi's words, leaving no room for it.

He smiled at Jiang Luo very naturally. He said, "How do you know I'm not on my way to getting married?" ”

How do you know I'm not running to get married?

Yes. From the beginning, she should have stopped thinking about his first flame. The thought was clearly against morality, and it put her in a state of dizziness, dizzy from the smoke, and her body burned by the heat.

"Really?" Xia Chan still didn't believe it, she subconsciously felt that the reason was not so simple.

"I'm going to stay with you for the next two days?" She was a little worried about the tides. "I haven't been to your place since you moved, only the address you gave."

Tide raised his eyes to Xia Cicada, and he was already clear about her intentions.

"It's okay, I'm really fine, I'll go to the hospital in two days to see why my aunt comes so often, which makes me feel bad all the time."

She grabbed Xia Chan's arm and was about to raise her foot, when Qiao Shen walked straight over.

The tide was startled. Because Qiao Shen's face didn't look good.

She thought he was going to the back, so she subconsciously stood to the side and made way for him.

Qiao Shen stopped in front of her, his eyes fixed, his eyes dark.

"I have something to say to you."

After he finished speaking, his eyes swept to Xia Cicada next to him, and he looked over and added another sentence.

"Alone."

His tone was blunt and unmistakable.

Xia Cicada was confused. What was the latest disaster to come? Why is everyone different from before?

She felt the tide clutch her arms tightly and loosely, and her palms seemed to be sweaty.

“....... Then I'll be waiting for you in the lobby on the first floor? ”

The summer cicada pushes the boat down the river. Although Qiao Shen's expression was not very good, she still firmly believed that he would not hurt the tide.

With a rare look of hesitation, she looked at Qiao Shen, whose lips were pursed very tightly, and then looked at Xia Chan, who was about to leave.

“....... Ground floor hall. ”

Xia Chan repeated it again, giving her a relaxed look before turning her feet and leaving.

The tide settled, took a step back, and looked around. At this time, it was ten minutes after school, and the class was gone.

"What's the matter?"

She looked up and asked Qiao Shen.

Looking at his face, it looked like she had provoked him by something.

"Pei Yicong?"

He leaned against the table next to him and spoke lightly, his expression softening slightly.

Three words suddenly exploded in Tidal's mind. She hadn't remembered the name for a while. The night and the drinks are about to become an interlude to the depths of memory, and they are about to be buried deep in the depths of my heart. But before he succeeded, he was dug out of the broken gear again by his question.

“....... Who? ”

She pretended not to know.

"Why didn't you tell me about something so serious?"

Qiao Shen took a step closer, and there were waves in his eyes.

"You're afraid I'll get hurt, so you'd rather destroy yourself?"

Before the tide could speak, he pressed forward step by step, and the last sentence was obviously filled with anger.

"Don't you dislike me?" When Qiao Shen said this, his tone suddenly changed, and it was surprisingly sour.

“....... I don't think it's your ........"

Tide felt that the matter could not be hidden, although she didn't know how Qiao Shen learned about it, but she had to explain it to him.

"Then why do you want me to think you're worried about me and give me hope?"

Qiao Shen's tone was very soft, and he couldn't hear a little emotional fluctuation in his moderation.

"I think you're getting farther and farther away from me."

He added.

The tide straightens and feels a pain in the head.

"Qiao Shen." She stood straight at him, her expression serious.

"I don't tell you, not because you give you hope like you say, I just don't want to see any of my friends hurt by unknown sources. Pei Yicong was just joking with me from beginning to end, whether he hurt me or not, I had my own measure. ”

She picks out the logic and explains it to him.

Qiao Shen listened to her words, and the corners of his mouth raised, not joy, but bitterness.

"So, you think you'll always be friends with me?"

Again, it's the same kind of problem.

The tide turned his gaze away, no longer looking directly at him.

"Everyone is an adult, there are some things I don't say, we all understand."

She tried her best to be tactful, not wanting to see Qiao Shen's expression at KFC that day.

Even if I told you I liked you, what if I used to like you?

The man standing in front of him was silent for a long time. During this time, the quiet breathing of each other in the room can be heard. The tide suddenly strongly hopes that someone can walk in at the right time to break this embarrassing and melancholy situation.

She remembered those days when there were no such things. She didn't meet Jiang Qi, she didn't meet Xiao Ya, she silently lived her peaceful life, laughing and playing with Xia Chan, chatting with the world. Occasionally, she could see the sea of stars blooming in Qiao Shen's eyes, although she looked up at him out of good feelings, he never knew it, and he was still very happy every day.

Jiang Qi's appearance just blocked all her retreats, and since then everything has changed dramatically, and the change caught her off guard. Qiao Shen's sudden favor was more like a game of involuntarily, she was locked in Jiang Qi's door, and she never found the key to clear the level.

The hands hanging in front of the classroom ticked and ticked.

"Thank you."

Qiao Shen suddenly spoke.

Tidal looked up in panic, and he smiled beautifully.

"I've lost this time."

He added, then withdrew his gaze and turned away.

The tide was still sinking in his thank you and didn't come out, and the last sentence drifted into her ear vaguely, poking her ear eardrum pain.

He lost. But what did she win?

The tide that came out after talking to Qiao Shen was already not good, and after it came out, it was covered with a thick shadow. She has always had clear and bright eyes in her eyes, with a calm and unhurried attitude, but she accidentally planted another pit in Qiao Shen's place. Xia Chan didn't ask about the details, but just took her naturally and comfortably.

The tide didn't tell her what the two of them were talking about, so she didn't ask. Sometimes friends don't need to be too close to each other, which will only make the other person breathless.

She didn't say that nature had her reasons, although she tried to hide her uneasiness.

"I'm going to go to the scumbag's wedding next Saturday, you said you want to accompany me?"

Xia Chan opened up a new topic in the rare silence between the two.

Tidal laughed, but she could tell it was reluctant.

"I've always remembered it."

Xia Cicada laughed and raised her voice.

"I want to dress up a beautiful ......." As soon as the end note fell, she thought about it again, and suddenly shouted in the next second.

", I still have something important to do!"

The tide was surprised, and raised his eyes in doubt.

Xia Cicada grinned mysteriously, and the starlight in her eyes jumped.

"I've got to get someone to do me a favor and pretend to be my boyfriend."

The tide felt like a tendon on his forehead was about to burst out. “....... Do you even want to compare this? ”

"Look at what you said, this is not a comparison, this is a proof that I am also very happy. I can't let that dead scumbag look down on me. ”

Xia Chan's tone was angry and firm.

Tidal didn't answer. No one can stop her from doing what Xia Cicada wants to do. Give her a rod and she can even poke the sky down.

Does happiness still need to be deliberately proven? If someone else really asked her tide to prove her happiness one day, her first choice was to pull Xia Cicada over without hesitation. In fact, if Jiang Qi hadn't said that sentence at that time, she could have regarded him as her own happiness. Although it is far away, it will not be a parallel line after all.
