Chapter 15: Barbie
Christmas is here, Cheng Ye can run and jump, and he looks very happy after being aggrieved for too long.
Lin Weihe took Huo Jingyu's arm and walked behind her, "Sister Ye teaches students, does anyone believe her?" ”
She will only call Cheng Ye her sister in front of Huo Jingyu, and respect her.
Huo Jingyu watched Cheng Ye stop in front of this window to take a look, and after reading it, he ran to the next one, and finally refused to leave in a cake shop.
"As long as she doesn't laugh, she should be fine."
When Cheng Ye smiled, her eyes would bend into crescents, and with her unique laughter, she was too silly.
"Jingyu, this, Christmas present, buy it for me." Cheng Ye beckoned to him and pointed to the strawberry cake in the display cabinet.
"How old are you, and you still look at this." Lin Weihe couldn't help but complain, "Even I don't eat it." ”
Cheng Ye replied to her: "Sweets have nothing to do with age, okay, if you don't like it, it doesn't mean that no one likes it."
Huo Jingyu paid the money, took the paper bag from the clerk, and carried it in his hand all the way.
"Ahh This one is delicious, I want to eat it! ”
After a while, Cheng Ye pinched a pot helmet bigger than her head and ate it while walking.
The foreigner's festival is the most ruthless day for merchants to discount and promote, Lin Weihe pulled Huo Jingyu out today, because he wanted to buy a birthday gift for Zhao Zirui, the boy's gift was not easy to buy, so let Huo Jingyu pick it.
"Shall we go in?" Lin Weihe dragged him into a clothing store.
"You want to deliver clothes?"
"No, it's for you."
"I don't need it."
"You need it very much!"
Huo Jingyu has been dressed in black for many years, either white on top and black on the bottom, or black on top and white on the bottom. Buying several pieces of the same dress, aesthetic fatigue.
Lin Weihe picked out a long light blue coat from a row of clothes, "Try it." ”
Huo Jingyu frowned, "Isn't this color too young?" ”
"Where are you old?"
Lin Weihe forcibly put it on him, observed it carefully, and took a pair of glasses from the accessories area for him to put on.
Huo Jingyu looked in the mirror, feeling weird, not like him.
"It's a bit of a scum." Cheng Ye walked over and said.
Lin Weihe ignored her, and took a few more for Huo Jingyu to try, and he was dizzy when he tried it.
"Shouldn't you go buy gifts?" Huo Jingyu reminded her.
Lin Weihe pushed him into the locker room, "Don't worry, try one more set, the last one." ”
"That's what you just said." Cheng Ye sat on the sofa and said lazily.
Lin Weihe sat next to her and asked her, "I only let Brother Jing Yu come, what are you doing here?" ”
"You called him, and he happened to be having dinner with me, and he came along. Why, I'm so unwelcome? ”
"Yes." Lin Weihe generously admitted.
"There's always a reason why you don't like it, right?"
"Hmm...... No. ”
Cheng Ye was puzzled for a long time, Lin Weihe was clingy when he was a child, like a little tail. Because she often buys mangoes for her to eat, she shouts to Sister Mango and Sister Mango, why the more she grows up, the more unlikable she becomes, and she fights against her all day long.
"It can't be without a reason."
"I won't tell you if I do." Lin Weihe grimaced at her.
"How's your schooling?" Cheng Ye changed the subject.
"Okay."
"How's the classmate relationship?"
"Okay."
"Is it keeping up?"
"Okay."
Cheng Ye was speechless, looking at her perfunctory face, she would definitely find out the reason, why she was so cold to her, and the coldness was very sudden.
It was already late when she got home, and Lin Weihe got into the quilt after washing, and her warm body was afraid that it would be cold again. She shrunk into a ball motionlessly, using her body temperature to dissolve the cold bed, but unfortunately the sin was too deep, and she was not warm at all.
Huo Jingyu stood at the door, "Do you want to help you turn off the lights?" ”
"No, I can't sleep."
"Why can't you sleep? What are you thinking? ”
Huo Jingyu turned off the headlights and turned on a table lamp for her, the warm yellow light made it easier to fall asleep.
"I don't know if I'm too full at night." Lin Weihe touched his slightly swollen stomach.
Huo Jingyu let her take a digestive pill, "It should be more comfortable after a while, it's not too early to sleep." ”
"Sing me a song." Lin Weihe wrapped the quilt tightly and looked at him expectantly, "When I was a child, I couldn't sleep, and my brother would sing to me." ”
"What song?"
"It's all right, gentle."
Huo Jingyu thought for a while, then sang:
Baby mine, don't you cry....
Baby mine, dry your eyes.
Rest your head close to my heart,
never to part,baby of mine.....
Lin Weihe closed her eyes and listened to his low and magnetic singing voice with enjoyment, and in the time of a song, she fell asleep.
After Huo Jingyu turned off the lights, he gently closed the door, came to the fish tank, and threw a small loach into it.
Barbie swam calmly and had no desire to eat.
"You can't be a picky eater, it's not nutritious."
Like a child, he sprinkled some fragrant barley worms, and "ate the loaches when he ate this." ”
Unlike the blandness of loaches, barley bugs have the aroma of food, and Barbie rushes forward, opening its large mouth to form a vortex that instantly sucks the worm into its mouth.
"Are you trying to lose your eyes?" He scooped up the loach and pushed it in front of his eyes.
Barbie still rounded the little loach and swam steadily on the upper level.
He continued to deliver the loach to its eyes, "If you lose your eye, you will have to have surgery, aren't you afraid?" ”
Barbie still doesn't eat it.
"Okay, I'll give you worms." Huo Jingyu grabbed a handful of insects and dangled them around.
Barbie immediately opened his mouth wide, and he grabbed a loach and threw it down, and ate it.
"Is it delicious?" He asked with a smile.
After Barbie finished eating, her big eyes no longer looked at him, her head and tail swaying with her unique spoon high, and she wandered freely in the water, domineering and awe-inspiring.
"Angry?"
Huo Jingyu rolled up his sleeves, put his hand into the water, and slowly interacted with it in a circle.
Barbie does not reject his closeness, and the long, straight tentacles caress his arms.
Bang!
The sound of heavy objects falling, and a piercing horn suddenly resounded through the night sky.
Barbie jerks her tail and hits the tank, scraping off several fish scales.
Huo Jingyu lost control of it and immediately turned off the light and stepped back, leaving it in a dim environment.
Barbie gradually regained her composure, sinking motionless at the bottom of the tank, frightened to the extent that it seemed that she needed to fast and recuperate for a few days.
Lin Weihe, who was asleep, was also awakened and stared at the dark room. Scattered noises and cries from downstairs dispelled her sleepiness.
She walked out of the bedroom and saw Huo Jingyu sitting still on the sofa and didn't know what she was thinking. She glanced at the wall clock, which was not hours until dawn.
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
Huo Jingyu looked back at her, "Woken up?" ”
"Well, woke up." She was also sitting on the couch, "Why is it so noisy outside?" ”
"I don't know, someone should have thrown an object into the car."
"It's so lacking." Lin Weihe picked up the remote control on the side and asked him, "Is it okay if I want to watch TV?" ”
"I'm afraid not, Barbie is also scared, it's better not to have a loud sound of decibels."
"Huh? Will it also be scared? Lin Weihe walked in small steps to take a look.
"Don't go near it." Huo Jingyu hurriedly stopped.
Lin Weihe paused, standing a few meters away from the fish tank, "Can I scare it if I stand here?" ”
"It's timid by nature, and you're too new to it."
Lin Weihe sat back with a look of pity and looked at the beautiful big fish from afar, "What can I do to get familiar with it?" ”
"Feed it."
"Are the fish cooked?"
"Almost."
"Can I feed it now?"
"Frightened fish generally don't eat."
Lin Weihe pouted in disappointment, "I haven't fed it yet." ”
"In a few days, let it slow down."
Barbie has always existed when she met Huo Jingyu, and she asked, "Can Barbie be my brother?" No, is it a boy or a girl? ”
Huo Jingyu smiled, "It's my sister." ”
Lin Weihe opened her mouth in surprise, "Its lifespan is so long?" ”
"It should be fine to live to be forty."
"How can you tell the difference between a man and a woman? I feel that the fish all look the same, not like cats and dogs. ”
"Looking at the tentacles, the tentacles of male fish will be shorter, and Barbie's will be longer. You can also look at its gills, which are a little smaller for females. ”
"And what does it eat?"
"Small fish, small shrimp and bugs. I just fed it loaches, and I'm starting to be picky eaters and refuse to eat. ”
"Feed alive?"
"Loaches can't be fed alive, they can hurt the fish."
"Oh~" Lin Weihe nodded half-understandingly, "Then why is the fish tank so dark?" ”
Why did Lin Weihe come a little too much, Huo Jingyu still answered her patiently:
"It's easier to get color in dark environments." "You can understand that black is visually appealing to the fish," he explains. It's good for its eyes, too. ”
"Why?"
"You'll understand later."
Seeing Huo Jingyu's exhaustion, she restrained her desire to ask, but she couldn't help but ask the last question: "Why is it called Barbie?" ”
Unable to get a response in time, Lin Weihe looked at Huo Jingyu suspiciously. Excellent eyesight has always been Lin Weihe's strength, and she catches a fleeting strangeness from his calmness.
"You took the name."
Lin Weihe leaned back on the sofa in surprise when she heard this, "Me? When? ”
"Before."
"How could I have a name like that, and I don't play with Barbie."
"Then I'm going to ask you." He stood up and said to her, "I'm sleepy, you go to sleep quickly, you have to go to school tomorrow." ”
Lin Weihe was locked out of the room by him, "I don't have any impression at all." ”
As she lay in bed, she recalled, but she couldn't remember when and where she named the fish.
But Huo Jingyu said that she took it, how long ago was it?
Oops, I don't want to, I can't even think of it. She covered the quilt and turned to her side and fell asleep.
In the bedroom, the moonlight penetrated through the window, Huo Jingyu sat on the chair for a while, he pulled out a mattress from under the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down, and opened his eyes and stayed awake all night.
