"I thought you were hiding this treasure of yours somewhere." Herui waved the doll in her hand, while roughly fiddling with its thin arms and legs, "What's so strange, isn't it just a broken doll?" ”

"It's just a broken doll to you—" Hetu said breathlessly, chasing after her, "not for me! This stuff is important to me! ”

Herui sneered, her body was much better than Hedi, she ran like flying, and left Hedi far behind. She ran out of the courtyard gate, stood on the edge of the high slope, grabbed the doll in her hand in the air, and said with a smile: "Do you believe that I threw it down?" ”

Before He Tu could speak, Cuiying, who was sitting in the yard washing vegetables, raised her head and reprimanded them: "What are you running? All of them are as big as a day, and they don't look like a girl. How old are you and you still grab toys from your sister, and if she likes it, let her take it, and you won't lose flesh on you. ”

He couldn't even speak. Helio became even more proud when she heard this, and she waved the doll in the white dress in a circle in the air and threw it far away.

He Di glared at He Rui hatefully, and quickly ran in the direction where the doll fell. The loess road was messy and dirty, the dolls fell into the weeds and mounds, and the white skirts looked dirty because they were stained with dust and dirt. He picked up the doll in distress and patted the dust on her skirt. This is her favorite dress, and when she sees a doll wearing this dress, she feels like she sees 12-year-old Xiuhan. He Tu stood up with the doll in his arms, looked up at He Rui, who was looking at him condescendingly on the slope, and asked loudly, "Have I offended you?" Why are you throwing my stuff? ”

Herui sneered and turned to leave.

Although Hetu has a straightforward temper and belongs to the character who will vent when she is angry, she can't say anything more reproachful and resentful to her family. What's more, the mother seems to love Herui more, and offending Herui is like offending her mother. He Di is a little confused, he is diligent and clever, almost most of the housework in the family is done by himself, and He Rui only knows how to play, and occasionally helps with work is also absent-minded, why can't he get a little more love from his family than his sister? Thinking aggrievedly, tears almost fell.

"Mom told you to wash the vegetables." Herui suddenly poked her head out again and said, she looked at Hedi with her head hanging down curiously, wondering what this sister was thinking now.

He Tu replied lukewarmly, not wanting her to see her tears, so she took the doll and turned around and walked up the slope. She secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, rubbed her sore eyes, and coughed her throat before entering the courtyard gate.

He Tu moved a small bench from the house and sat next to Cuiying, washing up the dishes without saying a word. Cui Ying talked to her casually, and didn't hear any response for a long time, so she couldn't help but turn her head and look at her suspiciously. I saw that Hedi's face was pale, and the corners of his mouth, which were always raised on weekdays, were drooping at this time, looking listless and extremely aggrieved.

"Just because your sister stole your toy, you became like this?" Cuiying thought it was funny, she shook the water from her hand and asked.

"That's not a toy for me."

"What's not a toy?"

He Di was speechless for a moment, she racked her brains to think about how to explain her current mood to her mother, but after thinking about it, maybe her mother would not take her explanation to heart at all. The things she was thinking in her heart were too profound for the people around her, maybe Xiuhan would understand, but if she told her mother, she would definitely think that she was thinking nonsense. So Hetu was silent, just shook his head.

Cuiying continued to pick up the vegetable leaves from the basin to wash them unhappily, and said: "You are also old, you can't be the same as when you were young, let the small ones be let go, after all, you know more." Look at your sister, why have I never seen her lose her temper because of this kind of thing, you have to learn from your sister, don't say nonsense that people can't understand at every turn. ”

"Hmm." He replied sullenly, and the action of washing vegetables in his hands sped up.

He felt that there had never been a time when he missed Xiuhan and Heyi more than he did now. Now in this environment, the only thing that makes her happy is the time she spent with Xiuhan Heyi - ah, and Zhu Hai. She suddenly thought that the letter had not yet been written, and if she could, she would write it tonight and put it in the little dirt hole, and perhaps she would receive a reply from him to-morrow. Hedi's mood suddenly improved, she glanced at her mother and asked, "Will you still go to the ground tomorrow?" ”

"It's almost busy in the fields. If you stay at home and have nothing to do, you can help, now we are short of manpower. ”

"Okay." He Tu stood up with the washed dishes, turned and walked towards the kitchen. Herui sat on the threshold of the kitchen, and when she saw her coming, she blocked the way with her legs crossed, and looked at Hedi with a provocative expression.

"Herui, let your sister in!" Cui Ying scolded as she splashed water. Herui pursed her lips disdainfully and lowered her legs.

After sending his family out in the afternoon, Hedi rummaged through the cabinets to find the paper and pen that Heyi Hefu had not taken away. She searched for a long time before she found a few crumpled sheets of paper and a short pencil in the cupboard. She spread the paper on the table and thought for a long time about how to start it. She thought about it for a long time, and felt that it seemed inappropriate to say anything, and all she could say in her mind was what she had eaten and done today. Suddenly, the desire to talk to her heart swelled up again, and this desire was so strong that she began to hesitate to tell him all about herself. She thought about it for a long time before she put pen to paper and wrote the first word.

She hadn't grabbed a pen for a long time, and the first word was written crookedly, barely making it look good. She felt as if her right hand was numb and crippled, and she couldn't control it well when she wrote, and she forgot how to write many words. She had been writing the text for an hour, and when she had finished writing the last word, she put down her pen, shook her sore arm, and exhaled softly.

She smoothed the page again, read the letter she had written from the beginning, and couldn't help but laugh. She felt that she was extremely naïve, but she was anxious to know Zhu Hai's reaction when she saw her letter. It was only a hundred words, and it seemed to her that she had taken a big step towards a better future, so she read it over and over again, smirking in a daze. Suddenly, she stood up, folded and folded the piece of paper, held it tightly in her palm, and walked out of the courtyard. She threw away all the small clods that were piled up at the mouth of the little earth hole, carefully placed the letter into a hidden corner, and then put the little clods up piece by piece, until the hole was blocked, and nothing could be seen, and then she stood up, and walked back contentedly.

When she was cooking at night, she was giggling, and when she was eating, she was also giggling, and when she washed her face and feet, the smile on her face could hardly be controlled and seemed to overflow. Herui looked at her inexplicably and said mockingly: "Are you picking up money?" Laugh a day today. ”

He ignored her, still washing his feet, feeling very comfortable.

"Or do you think you're so happy that I threw your doll away? Then I'll throw it again tomorrow. ”

He Tu's face changed in an instant, his eyes looked at her gloomily, and he pretended to be fierce and said, "If you dare to touch my things again, I will let you know what the consequences will be." ”

Herui smiled disdainfully, "What are the consequences for me to let me?" If you dare to hit me, I'll tell my mother to go. ”

"Okay, you tell your mother, I'll beat you the same way, it's a big deal that my mother will beat me up, I'm not afraid of beating. But I ask you, are you afraid of being beaten by me? ”

Herui closed her mouth and stopped talking. She glared at Hetu hatefully, took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang, hiding herself in the quilt and only revealing half of her head.

He Tu smiled proudly, and she dried her feet and went out to pour out the footwater. She was in a surprisingly good mood today, and although she had done something that had upset her, she didn't want to have any arguments with her sister. After blowing out the candle and going to the kang, she looked at the shadow of the tree outside the window for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Why are you doing this to me?" ”

Heavy breathing came from the side where Helio slept, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep. But knowing that she was not asleep, he turned his head to look at the back of her head and asked again, "Why are you doing this to me?" Where have I offended you? ”

"You didn't offend me." Herui's voice was a little muffled, "But I just hate you." ”

"What do you hate about me?" Hedi's heart ached, "I'm your sister, you're my sister, we're relatives, we're a family, what do you hate about me?" ”

Herui was silent for a few seconds, but still repeated, "I just hate you, I just hate you." ”

"What do you hate about me, you say, can I change careers?" He Tu wanted to reconcile with his sister, so he involuntarily lowered his posture, and his tone showed a hint of begging.

He Rui sneered, turned over and sat up, glaring at her in the dark, "You want to change, right?" Then you go to the kitchen stove and get a knife to cut your face, and then knock off your two hands, and I won't hate you. ”

He Tu was startled by her words, and looked at her figure sitting in the dark in surprise, not understanding how she could have such a vicious idea in her heart at such a young age. Seeing that He Di didn't say anything for a long time, Herui still fell asleep, and said coldly: "You change your fart." ”

There was silence in the room for a few minutes, and then he muttered, "What you hate is not what I did, what you hate is me." ”

"You're right, I just hate you." Herui turned his back to her, "I wish you weren't my sister." ”

He felt very sad in that moment, but she quickly recovered. Since she was a child, Herui has never shown a good face to herself, which she has been used to, since she is already used to it, what is there to be sad about. He Tu desperately recalled those beautiful scenes in his heart, trying to expel the fear and loss in his heart. Herui's breathing gradually became steady, and this time she really fell asleep.

"Ugh." He let out a long sigh.

On the third day, despite his father's persuasion, he still went down to the field with his family. Her body looked weaker than usual this summer, and she felt dizzy and almost fell after standing in the sun for a while. But she still supported herself, and with her strong willpower, she did the work she was supposed to do. She doesn't want others to say that she is not good at all, she wants to try her best to do everything perfectly, so that others can't find any shortcomings. At about ten o'clock, Jiafu straightened up and walked to the tree with his hands behind his back to drink water and eat dry food. When he saw Hedi's ugly face, he waved at her and asked her to come over for some water and rest.

He stubbornly walked under the tree, and once he sat down, he couldn't stand up again. She felt so weak that she was about to faint, and she was just panting for air with her mouth open. Jiafu fed her two sips of water, fanned her with a fan in his hand, and said, "Don't come, you want to come." ”

"Isn't our family, isn't there not enough manpower......"

"You can't do any work like this now, and your body will collapse if you don't do it, so sit back for a while and go back." There was a rare reproach on Jiafu's face, he was usually the most kind and gentle person, and he would never scold his children unless they did something particularly excessive.

"Okay - if the field can't make it, I'll do it, I'll still hold it."

Jiafu glanced at her and said helplessly: "Your sister and your sister's body are very good, why is your body so weak?" He shook his head, handed the fan to Hedi, straightened up and walked towards the ground. He Tu looked at her father's back blankly, feeling guilty and moved in her heart, she even hated her current sick appearance, she couldn't do anything, and she just caused trouble to others.

"Alas, I don't know what Herui will gossip about me when she goes home when she finds out." He Tu muttered to himself, barely standing up, and walking towards the way back.

Halfway through, Zhu Hai unexpectedly appeared behind her. He first smiled and patted her on the back, and shoved a paper bag into her hand.

He Tu quickly put away the paper bag, looked back behind him, and was two steps away from Zhu Hai.

Zhu Hai followed her gaze and looked behind her, and said with a puzzled smile: "Who are you afraid of seeing?" ”

He sighed and replied, "Did you read the letter I gave you yesterday?" ”

"Looked." Zhu Hai looked at her face carefully, "You quarreled with your sister?" He suddenly realized, "Are you afraid that your sister will see it?" ”

He nodded her head, feeling as if she had exhausted all her strength to respond to the question, and she closed her eyes wearily and stood there for a moment before walking back on.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Hai saw her abnormality and asked worriedly.

"I feel dizzy." He staggered along, almost crushing his teeth.

Zhu Hai stretched out his hand to help her, his fingers just touched Hedi's arm in thin clothes, Hedi trembled as if he had touched fire, and struggled to move his body farther away from him, "Don't be like this, it's not good to be seen by others." ”

"What's wrong?"

He glanced at him resentfully, "It will be gossip." ”

"They love to talk about it, I don't care."

"What about me?" He Tu gave him a disappointed look, stopped talking, and quickened his pace slightly. The faster I didn't want to go, the more dizzy my head became, and I almost fell to the ground.

"Look at you!" Zhu Hai hurriedly helped her up, and leaned softly on Zhu Hai's body, she felt his strong chest supporting her head, and the body temperature spread to her body as if it was overcharged, stirring up bursts of sparks in her heart. Hetu's pale face turned red in an instant, and she raised her hand to push him away, but the more she pushed him, the tighter she hugged him, almost rubbing herself into his body.

"Zhu Hai!" He Tu was shy again, and he was afraid that others would see him, so he couldn't help but shout angrily. Zhu Hai woke up from his intoxication, his hands were suddenly at a loss, and he hurriedly let go of her.

He stomped his foot in shame, turned around and walked towards his house with his hands on the slope. Zhu Hai followed her from a distance, looking at her back nervously.

"It's over, it's overdone." He thought to himself, regretting his actions, but reminiscing about the feeling he felt when he held her in his arms. Her body was so thin, so soft, leaning into his arms like a helpless little rabbit. Zhu Hai wanted to hold her in his arms again, but the expression on Hedi's face was so angry, how could he dare to act rashly.

When he arrived at the door, he opened the locked courtyard door and went in without looking back. She slammed the door shut, leaning against it and panting, her heart pounding and her face red. He did such a thing, she thought in horror, she never thought that he was so bold to touch her like that in the middle of the road. He almost didn't dare to think about what would happen if he was seen by his parents or Herui. She stood against the door for a long time, waiting for her mood to calm down. After the initial fear subsided, I didn't feel panicked in my heart, but felt that the bursts of electricity seemed to be still flowing and colliding with each other in my body. Her heart was still beating violently, and she couldn't help but bite her lower lip tightly, not realizing that a bright and rippling smile had spread across her face. After staying for a while, she opened the courtyard door a slit, and her eyes were pressed into the gap to look out. It was empty outside, and he should have left. She closed the door with some relief and some loss, slowly walked back to the kitchen, and sat down in front of the stove to prepare for cooking. She was absent-minded, and almost burned herself when she lit the fire several times, and all that flashed in front of her eyes and recalled in her heart was the scene just now. What it was like, she couldn't tell. What kind of relationship she has with Zhu Hai, she can't say clearly. She felt hazy in front of her, as if she couldn't see anything clearly, she didn't know what awaited her in front of her, she felt expectant and scared. He Tu began to miss Xiuhan more and more, she always felt that no matter what happened to her, Xiuhan could always give her a clear and correct answer, she wanted to know this answer, she wanted to clear the fog in front of her, so that she could take a closer look at what kind of scene was in front of her.

From that day on, he obeyed his father's instructions and no longer followed his family to the field, but just stayed at home every day to do housework and take care of the family's daily life. It took a long time for her to take out the reply letter that Zhu Hai had written to her, the letter was warmly worded and emotional, saying things that He Tu had never heard, and expressing feelings that He Tu didn't dare to think. Several times, Hetu was too frightened to continue, but there was a magic that attracted her to keep watching. She read the letter over and over again, almost able to memorize it. She hid the letter in her underwear, for fear that someone would accidentally find out, and as for writing a reply to Zhu Hai or continuing to meet him, she left it behind for the time being. All she felt now was fear, and she began to feel that things were going beyond her expectations and were going in an uncontrollable direction. She almost anxiously waited for Xiuhan's arrival, as if waiting for her savior.

One cool afternoon, after sending his family out, he lay down on the kang and took a nap for a while, then moved a stool and sat in the yard to blow the wind. It was hot in the house, but it was very cool in the yard, the wind rustled the leaves, and the birds flew around and chirped from time to time. He closed his eyes and listened carefully to his surroundings, then opened his eyes and looked into the distance. She stood up suddenly, walked back to the kitchen to get something, closed the courtyard door and headed down the slope.

The courtyard gate of Grandma Ho's house has been deserted for a long time, except for the occasional daring child who comes to explore - legend has it that the yard is haunted. He Tu didn't believe these nonsense, this kind of rumor was just a freshly made up after-dinner conversation for a while. The yard was overgrown with weeds, and the grass that had been cut by Xiuhan before grew again, even rising higher. He squatted down and began to weed, removing some of the blades of grass that stood in the way, tying them up in a bundle and throwing them out of the door. The room where Grandma He lived before her death was also full of dust, so he cleaned it a little, sat on a chair and looked at the sunlight shining in the window.

Suddenly, she struck a spirit, got up from her chair, lifted the curtain, and looked out. Xiuhan was standing in the courtyard, her long hair was permed into an atmospheric fluffy curls loosely scattered on her shoulders and chest, she was wearing a pair of sunglasses, still carrying a box shaped like a gourd with a guitar, a simple T-shirt with jeans, and a pair of bright red high heels six centimeters high on her feet.

He Di felt as if he had seen Hui Rui, and was stunned for a moment, not realizing that the woman in front of him was a good friend he had been looking forward to for countless days and nights. Xiuhan took off his sunglasses, looked at her with a surprised expression, and said, "Why are you here?" I just knocked on your door and no one answered for a long time. She turned her head and looked around, "You're not going to come down here to clean up, are you?" ”

He Tu came back from his stunned, felt a little embarrassed in front of the brightly dressed person in front of him, and smiled slightly: "I dreamed of you last night, and I dreamed that you came today, so come down and clean up this place." ”

Xiu Han looked at her with a smile and shook off his hand that was sore from carrying his bag, "You and I are still the most connected." She shook the long hair of her shawl, took Hetu's hand affectionately, and led her into the room.

"I feel like you've changed a little." He Tu said hesitantly, and carefully withdrew his hand. The Xiuhan in front of her has a different temperament than before, this temperament is cold and distant, and it instantly separates her from the other side of the world.

"Where has changed?" Xiuhan didn't feel it at all, she looked down at herself, "No." Oh—" she suddenly realized, "do you think I'm not as dirty as I used to be?" Ha ha! Others say that going to college will change, and it seems that this sentence is true. ”

"It's not." Hetu hurriedly denied, "I just think you seem to be more beautiful." ”

Xiuhan patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, it's a good thing to be good-looking, I'm very happy." She smiled and walked around the room, pretending to ask mysteriously, "During my absence, did you hand in any peach blossom luck?" ”

"What?" He Tu didn't understand, and was stunned for a while.

"That's-" Xiuhan smiled evilly and touched Hedi's shoulder with his shoulder, "That Zhu Hai—"

Hedi's face turned red as soon as she brushed it, and she waved her hands to cover Xiuhan's non-stop mouth, Xiuhan dodged and ran outside, laughing as she ran, like a cat that had gotten a fish. He chased her for a long time but didn't catch up, holding his knees and panting, while staring at the triumphant Xiuhan not far away.

"As soon as I said Zhu Hai, you were so excited, did you two have any story?" Xiuhan said with a smile, "Tell me about it!" ”

He straightened up, "You just like to hear these things. ”

"It depends on the person, I don't want to listen to other people's things, but I must listen to yours." Xiuhan stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulders, looking at her with a sideways smile on his face.

At this time, Hedi felt that the little separation between the two people when they first met had completely disappeared, and she reached out and pinched Xiuhan's waist, blushing and not speaking. Xiuhan walked towards the house with her in his arms, and said, "You tell me, and I'll tell you about my affairs." ”

"Then you speak first." He Tu immediately showed an expectant look, "What kind of life have you lived since you went to XX City?" I want to know. ”

Xiuhan showed a contemplative expression, shook his head and said, "That's it, go to and from school, eat and sleep, participate in school clubs, and go out shopping with friends during the holidays." Actually, it's the same as when I was in high school, but I'm much freer than before, and I feel happy every day because I study what I like and am interested in. ”

He listened, trying to imagine that life in his mind.

"I participated in a singing competition before, but I don't know why, I was brushed off." Xiuhan's expression was a little lost, "Maybe I didn't choose the right song, and there was a place where I sang wrong, and then I was very nervous, and the more wrong it was, the more outrageous it became." If I had won that game, I might have signed with the record label by now. ”

"It's okay, you can continue to participate in the future." He said innocently. Xiuhan nodded and exhaled again, "It's only like this." ”

"Then you and that Xing Siyun—" Hetu asked eagerly, wondering how they were doing, and a vague sense in her heart that she could find some answer in this answer.

As soon as he heard the name, Xiuhan's face showed an expression similar to that of drinking a sip of cool spring water in the dry desert. She looked at the blue sky in the distance and smiled, "We—that's it." ”

"Which one?"

"He's not in the same school as me, but he's in a city – I learned about it later, and we're good friends now. You don't know, it feels very good to be with him, I think he is very helpful to my life and study, he understands a lot of things, and he is very easy-going, especially his voice-" Xiuhan sighed softly, immersed in his own memories, and his face was full of happiness.

"And then?" He looked at her blankly.

"And then—no more."

He Tu pondered for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "Xiuhan, let me tell you one thing, you help me analyze what happened to me." ”

Xiuhan's expression became serious, and he sat cross-legged on the kang and nodded towards Hedi.

"You know Zhu Hai, after sending you away that day, it rained heavily, and then we hid in the pavilion together - the broken pavilion at the intersection, I said a few words to him, but I always felt that there was no such feeling of letting go as before, as if something trapped me. Later, I often met him, and when I wanted to go home early to cook when I was harvesting grain, he would come from his own field to deliver it to me for a long time, until now. Now that I don't go down to work, he still has to meet me, but I am afraid that my parents will find out, and if they know that I am in association with a strange man, they will definitely accuse me. Then I said we could write and communicate, but he wrote a strange letter. Speaking of this, Hedi's face turned red all of a sudden, "I feel—I feel very strange, and I have an inexplicable feeling of fear in my heart." She hurriedly looked for the letter in her arms, and handed it to Xiuhan with both hands, "Take a look, help me analyze what is going on." ”

Xiu Han's face always had a mysterious smile that he knew very well. She took the letter handed over by Hedi, opened it and read it carefully, handed it back with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Do you know what this kind of letter is called?" ”

"What?"

"Love letters."

"What's that?"

"It's just—he's in love with you, and he's confessing to you."

"Like? Vindicate? He Tu repeated Xiuhan's words like a repeater, but he felt dazed and sluggish in his heart.

"Well, it's like your mom and your dad, not like between us. We're good friends, we're friendships, but—" Xiuhan pointed to the letter in Hedi's hand, "He loves you. ”

"Love." She vaguely remembered when she was watching TV at her neighbor's house, as if she had heard it somewhere. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a light shine down from the top of her head, hazy enveloping her.

"That's right." Xiuhan leaned his body towards her, "Do you like him?" ”

He Tu blushed and shook his head, biting his lip, "I don't know, I just feel happy with him, time flies." ”

"Silly girl, that's what I like." Xiuhan snorted and laughed, "It's the same as I like Xing Siyun." As long as I stay with him, I will only be the only one left in my eyes, and I will not be able to see anyone. ”

"What should I do if I like it?" He asked eagerly, her eyes flashing with a kind of ecstasy mixed with hope.

"If you like it, we'll be together." Xiuhan pinched Hedi's shoulder, "You're not a child who doesn't understand these things. Besides, this kind of thing is emotional, what happens is what happens, and there is no way to control it, so it's better to enjoy it, anyway, you think it's very happy to stay with him, right? ”

He Tu nodded again and again, with tears almost in her eyes, she held Xiuhan's hand tightly, and said incoherently: "You know what? It turned my heart up, I really didn't know what to do, and I didn't know what was wrong with me. Xiuhan, only you can help me. ”

"Don't worry, what age is it now, if you like someone, you can chase it, just go with him, what are you afraid of?"

"Then you and Xing Xiyun ......"

Xiuhan's expression suddenly became lost, she lowered her head and twisted the corner of the futon, and muttered, "You like each other, but I and him, I just like him." ”

"Doesn't he like you?" A little sympathy suddenly arose in Hedi's heart.

"I don't know, he's to me the same as everyone else, I can't see it." Xiuhan shook his head, "I don't know why, I don't have the courage to confess to him." ”

"You said it yourself, if you like it, you have to be together." He Tu persuaded Xiuhan in turn, with an old expression on his face.

"Oh, I'll let me handle my own business, and the most important thing now is you, so when are you going to reply to him?"

He sighed, "What should I do?" ”

"You can say whatever you want."

"I don't know what to say, I've thought about it for a long time, and I really don't know."

"So be it." Xiuhan clapped his hands, "I'll call him over at night, and you can talk face-to-face." ”

A smile suddenly bloomed on Hedi's face, "Really? She almost jumped up with excitement, her face flushed with shame, "But where are you going to find him?" ”

"Well, well, if you tell me where his land is, I'll go directly to him."

"Forget it, I'll take you there, and then you can just tell him." He Tu stood up excitedly, "Let's go now!" ”

"Go now?" Xiuhan hammered his thigh, "I just arrived, I'm so tired." ”

"Xiuhan—" Hetu pulled her arm and squeamished. Xiuhan couldn't help it, so he had to agree, but with a smile on his face, he walked forward slowly, urging several times in a hurry.

"Oops, I didn't expect our little Hedi to start falling in love."

"Keep your voice quiet, in case someone else hears you." He blushed and chased after her, and the two of them jumped out of the door, leaving behind only a string of silver bell-like laughter.
