Chapter 11 0.5 Centimeters (1)
The headache started again.
The feeling that the whole head is about to explode is really life-threatening. Jiang Qi got up from the computer, walked to the bedside table, and pulled out a box of ibuprofen from the drawer.
The irregular pain that began for as long as he could remember has been with him for more than ten years. Most of the time he is accustomed to this, but sometimes the pain is so bad that he remembers the vague memory of his childhood, there was a gentle woman in white clothes, who would always gently put her warm palm on his forehead. It's just that these memories have been shattered, and he can't put them together at all, and he hasn't seen the woman's face clearly.
When he was ten years old, he once asked Jiang Xiangcheng. Why there is no memory at all before the age of three. That day, the art class teacher assigned a peculiar homework, and the person who could remember his memories before the age of three drew the most things in his memory. He racked his brains and couldn't remember, only to see the children around him drawing fast. Jiang Xiangcheng smiled and touched his head, saying that no one remembers what happened before the age of three, those children are all for praising the scribbles. Since then, he has believed that he has never had a memory of being young, and the woman in white finally died in his memory.
The ringing of his cell phone suddenly freed him from his past.
"Hello?"
He stretched out his fingers and gently rubbed them at his temples. "Lin Fei?"
"Brother Jiang Qi? Out to play? It's my birthday today, and we're in the night. The voice on the other end of the phone was noisy, and he could sense the excitement of the scene with his eyes closed. Lin Fei, this kid, went there to play again, and it was estimated that he was hiding it from Jiang Luo.
"Birthday run to Jumpy? What about Jiangluo? He felt the pain lessen slightly, but he didn't know if there would be another reincarnation of torture.
"I was supposed to go to the playground with her, but she had to make up for French. I came here with my friends. ”
Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was thinking about something interesting.
"I'll go right away."
"Teacher, it's my boyfriend's birthday today. I've refused to go to the playground with him. ”
As soon as the tide finished a few spoken words, he saw Jiang Luo poking his delicate little face over. "So can I get out of class early? I want to go to the night for his birthday. ”
She looked pitiful. Tide always felt that she had an inexplicable sense of intimacy, it was one thing to be familiar with her eyebrows and eyes, and it was another thing to have a common heart.
"Uncle Jiang isn't here, is he?"
Jiang Luo suddenly became happy when he heard the meaning of her words. "No, no, he just went on a business trip today, and he will come back the day after tomorrow!"
"That's fine, but when I come tomorrow, you'll have to recite these sentences to me in full and fluent. Otherwise, there will be no early class next time. ”
Tide smiled and began to clean up the things on the table, and was caught off guard by a fragrant kiss from Jiang Luo on the right cheek. "Teacher, you go play with me, I'll introduce you to my boyfriend, he is the school grass of our school."
"I don't need to, it's a bit out of place." The tide is most afraid of this kind of invitation. "I'm not going for your birthdays, I don't want to be a big light bulb flashing."
Jiang Luo didn't have the patience to listen to her explanation, and stood up as soon as he grabbed her arm. "Let's go, teacher, not only the two of us, but his friends will also go." She stood thinking about something for a moment, and then suddenly smiled and approached the tide again.
"Teacher, if you don't go, I'm a girl, if I am bullied, you will feel distressed."
The tide couldn't laugh or cry.
Jiang Luo turned around and suddenly took out something from her schoolbag, and the tide fixed her eyes on it, it was a box of contact lenses, and before she could react, the glasses on her face were suddenly taken off by Jiang Luo.
"I have long thought that you are good-looking, but you are obscured by glasses." She reached out and pushed the box over. "Teacher, just promise me, I'm a girl and no one talks there."
Tidal looked at her with a smile and saw that her eyes were full of stars.
The night is as enchanting as her name. This is the first time that the tides have entered and exited such a place. Xia Chan's predecessor used to be a bartender here, and she remembered that Xia Chan used to come here to play, and she didn't step into it once, she always turned back when she got to the door, as if there was some kind of monster hiding inside.
Jiang Luo took her hand thin and soft, with the gentleness unique to a girl, and passed it straight into her palm.
"Xiaoluo!"
The boy, who had a very good head and looked very energetic, stood up not far away and waved his hand in this way, where five or six people were sparsely seated. The tide remembers that this is the boy I saw with Jiang Luo at Zhang Ji Beef Noodle Restaurant.
Jiang Luo pulled her and ran over excitedly. "Teacher, this is my boyfriend, Lin Fei."
Lin Fei smiled and lowered the river into his arms, and bowed to the tide again. "Hello teacher!"
"Brother!"
The girl's eyes suddenly glanced at the person sitting in the side corner, and she was overjoyed. "Why are you here?"
The tide responded to Lin Fei and followed her voice to look over. Jiang Qi'an sat quietly in the corner of the sofa, shaking a glass of wine in his hand, and his eyes drifted into her sight unhurriedly. I don't know if it's because the colorful lights in the bar are staggered and the facial features become blurry or because he drank some wine and was slightly drunk, she seemed to see him look at it, and his eyes revealed a gentle and gentle color.
The world is so small. The river falls, the river rises. She hadn't thought of it. There's a reason why the eyebrows are familiar. She and Jiang Luo had spent most of their time intersecting on those boring French letters, and she had never heard her mention such a family affair as she had an older brother.
"Hello teacher. I'm her brother, Jiang Qi. ”
He raised his glass slightly, as if he said hello.
The tide bows slightly. She withdrew her gaze from him and walked over to Jiang Luo and sat down. Xiao Ya's face appeared at the right time, with disgust and indifference, hiding needles and thorns. She didn't listen to anything from the laughter and slapstick around her, and when she looked down, she saw her toes pointing in the direction of the exit, like a guiding light, telling her what she should do at the moment.
"Jiang Luo?" She gently tugged at Jiang Luo's sleeve, "I'm sorry, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to go back first." ”
The girl smashed her mouth, lowered her voice, and had a wicked smile on the corner of her mouth. "Teacher, don't deceive me, your eyes tell me you're lying."
The tide felt a few crampy jumps in the temples on both sides. Before she could speak, she heard Jiang Luo's voice suddenly raised. "Let's play Truth or Dare, it's crowded!"
She knew that Jiang Luo was trying his best to get her interested. But she probably didn't know that she didn't want to stay here because she didn't want to get involved in a senseless dispute again.
"Good!" Everyone chimed in, and everyone was in the mood for themselves from the boring greetings and endless drinking. The tide glanced over to Jiang Qi, and he happened to look over. She didn't think that someone like him would participate in this slightly childish game, but the corners of his lips suddenly rose, and he got up and stepped over to the place where everyone had gathered, and chose a prominent place to sit down.
Tide was sitting across from him at the moment, which reminded her of his birthday.
"Turn the bottle! Whoever comes first! A good-looking boy in a peaked cap shouted, grabbing an empty wine bottle. Game 1! One, two, three! ”
The bottle spun up quickly on the smooth tabletop. The tidal eye landed on the cork that had formed a ghost due to the rotation, hoping that it would be able to move away from itself. After about ten seconds, the bottle slowly stopped, as she wished. "Wow! Sun Mu is on his back!" The crowd cheered and gloated.
"Holy!" The cap boy raised his eyebrows in surprise. "My hands are so cheap?" He looked at Jiang Luo with a sad face. "Big adventure."
The other little boy holding the card quickly spread out the card in his hand and took one and put it in front of him. "Sun Mu! Listen up! Choose one of the girls present and play a game of eating pocky! ”
Tide heard a buzz in his head, something exploded. She clearly knew that Sun Mu could only choose her, because he probably didn't want to taste Lin Fei's fist. She saw that the boy had already pushed a box of Pocky over, and then took out one and stuffed it into Sun Mu's hand. Sun Mu caught it blankly, his eyes fell on her from Jiang Luo, and he smiled slightly apologetically.
"Excuse me, do you mind?"
Jiang Luo was a little anxious, she tugged at the tide's sleeve, "Teacher, why don't I come?" ”
Everyone is quietly waiting for things to settle down. The tide looked around for a week, and his gaze retracted before falling on Jiang Qi's face. "Of course not, the rules of the game. Come on. ”
"Wow!" There was a burst of hilarity again, and the atmosphere was warm and tense. Sun Mu picked up a pocky and slowly leaned over. Tidal gritted his teeth and felt the heat rise from the soles of his feet again. "There's one centimeter left!" Lin Fei shouted as if he was coaxing beside him.
"I'll you!" Jiang Luo punched him hard in the back. "Two centimeters is enough!"
The tide picked up the pocky handed over by Sun Mu. She lowered her eyes to look at the Pocky stick that was getting shorter and shorter, her mouth was full of unmelted debris, and the eyes of the handsome boy in front of her were lowered, and her eyelids trembled slightly, I don't know whether she was shy or nervous. The people on both sides poked their heads and squeezed over, shouting incessantly, and their faces were full of excitement to see the excitement.
Time passed like a soldering iron, and the boy's breath was getting closer and closer, and the fresh smell of soap gradually penetrated into the nostrils of the tide. It was not the first time she had smelled a clear male smell like this, the faint scent of sandalwood on Qiao Shen's body, and the crisp mint smell on Jiang Qi's body, she remembered it clearly.
"That's it." She heard Sun Mu's pocky voice in a low voice. A sense of relief and pleasure rose suddenly, and the tide quickly withdrew from the leaning body. "Thanks for the cooperation."
Lin Fei took out a measuring stick from his schoolbag with a smile and took the rest of Sun Mu's hand. "Holy? Exactly two centimeters? ”
The tide was inexplicably relieved. She saw Sun Mu's eyes dodging over, touched her and shrank back. A strange crimson appeared on his face, and it was inexplicably cute on the boy's fair face.
She wanted to smile slightly, her eyes swept to the side, and she crashed into Jiang Qi's gaze without dying. The hallucinatory tenderness in his eyes just now had vanished, and he had returned to his usual indifference, the most familiar feeling she had ever felt. Suddenly, a disappointment spread through her heart, mixed with a frustration that arose out of nowhere, and a trace of it flowed into her heart.
"Next time you play with me, 0.5 centimeters."
She heard Jiang Qi's smile spread out in the thick night, with an incomparable temptation.
