Chapter 20: Out of Reach
The best tacit understanding in the world is nothing more than someone who understands the honey in your eyes.
- Xia Yuyang
Saturday was not as cold as usual, and such warm sunshine is rare in winter.
The morning sun is indeed the most beautiful of the day.
Xu Jingjing sighed as she walked on the road.
Originally, I made an appointment to meet at the school gate at half past seven, but Xu Jingjing was too excited the night before, and hurried to Xie Xiaonuan's house early in the morning.
"Xiao Nuan! Wake up! Xu Jingjing lifted the quilt and put her hand in to tickle her, giggling and laughing.
Xie Xiaonuan herself slept very lightly, after this toss, she almost screamed in shock, and after seeing Xu Jingjing, she let out a dissatisfied snort and took out her mobile phone from under the pillow.
6:08 a.m.
Xie Xiaonuan was angry to get up, and after glancing at his mobile phone, he grabbed a teddy bear and threw it at Xu Jingjing, "Xu Jingjing, early in the morning, what are you making a fuss about?" ”
Xu Jingjing was not annoyed, and hurriedly reached out to take the teddy bear, still smiling, "Get up early and freshen up, how can you be so lazy as a girl." ”
"Let me sleep a little longer, it's still early." Xie Xiaonuan grabbed the quilt again and covered his head tightly.
Xu Jingjing laughed in a low voice: "Didn't you say that Xia Yuyang is also going with you?" He's going to come to your house for dinner soon, if he sees you unkempt......"
Suddenly awakened, Xie Xiao sat up warmly.
Returning to reality from the confusion, thinking of that chic and handsome face, I couldn't help blushing and heartbeating.
Seeing her so abnormal, Xu Jingjing covered her mouth and laughed at her: "Look at your unpromising appearance." ”
Hearing this, Xie Xiaonuan became angry and angry, and glared at Xu Jingjing fiercely: "You have a long ability, look at how I clean you up!" The barefoot girl threw himself at her.
Xu Jingjing reacted quickly, secretly thought badly, threw down the teddy bear and turned around and rushed out of the room.
"Auntie save me!! Ay? Xia Yuyang, you are also so early. Xu Jingjing stopped after seeing Xia Yuyang, and looked back at the person who was chasing her angrily.
Sure enough, I only saw a flashing figure.
Xu Jingjing sighed quietly and said to Xia Yuyang: "Hey, it seems that only you can cure Xiao Nuan." ”
"It's over." Xia Yuyang's eyes looked intently at the place where she disappeared, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
Xie Xiaonuan stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, and couldn't help but want to go crazy in annoyance.
It was terrible, it made him see his reckless and reckless appearance.
It's all quiet!
Irritably, he flicked on the faucet and poured a handful of cold water on his face.
Wash your face, brush your teeth, comb your hair, dress up, and do it all in 20 minutes. Looking at the energetic girl in the mirror, Xie Xiaonuan nodded with satisfaction and secretly cheered for herself.
Xie Xiaonuan didn't explain his behavior just now, and Xia Yuyang didn't ask. Only Xu Jing's quiet chattering voice, as well as the laughter of Xie's father and mother, broke the strange silent atmosphere at the previous dinner table.
Breakfast went well.
On weekends, the school gate was deserted, and there were only a few sparse people, except for Lu Zihao, the rest were unfamiliar faces.
Lu Zihao was talking about something with a few people, and was slightly stunned when he saw the three of them appear, and then greeted him with a smile.
"Good morning, seeing that your team is huge, are you going to participate in the event together?" Lu Zihao's gaze moved away from Xia Yuyang without a trace and looked at the two girls.
Xu Jingjing replied first, "Yes, yes, I heard Xiao Nuan say that Team Leader Lu organized a love activity, of course we have to come over to contribute." After speaking, he secretly tugged the corner of Xiao Nuan's clothes.
Xie Xiaonuan immediately understood and responded.
Lu Zihao smiled: "Okay, then come here, let's discuss." After speaking, he nodded at Xia Yuyang, and Xia Yuyang also nodded in response.
After a group of people discussed it, they were ready to set off, and Xiao Nuan and Jing were fantasizing about what the nursing home was like along the way, and whether the lives of the old people were all peaceful and harmonious.
Lu Zihao heard what they were discussing, so he hurried forward to describe it to them.
Seeing the brighter and brighter light in Xiao Nuan's eyes, Lu Zihao was a little moved, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and after finding Xia Yuyang's inquiring gaze, he quickly hid it.
When you open the door of the nursing home, you will see a clean and tidy hall, a large color TV hanging on the wall, and the old people are gathered around to watch the sketch intently.
"Grandpa Zhao, Grandma Liu, we're coming to see you!" Lu Zihao spoke first.
When the old people heard this, they all looked at everyone, and after seeing that it was them, they laughed one after another, and their eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Xiao Lu, you haven't been here for a long time, did you forget me?" An old man was the first to get up, walking slowly towards this side on crutches, with a sad face.
Lu Zihao hurriedly walked over to support him, smiling shyly: "How could I forget you, I'm sorry Grandpa Zhao, I've been a little busy with my studies recently, but I miss you very much." ”
"Xiao Lu, don't listen to your Grandpa Zhao's nonsense, just come here, just come here." An old grandmother glared at Grandpa Zhao and smiled at Lu Zihao.
Grandpa Zhao laughed, Lu Zihao scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and cast a grateful look at Grandma Liu.
Then, everyone worked in groups to take care of the grandparents.
Xiao Nuan and a quiet group, responsible for chatting with Grandma Liu and Grandma Wu.
Most of the grandmothers are over seventy or eighty years old, and their faces are hard to conceal their old age, but their eyes are bright, and they exude vitality and health.
Looking at the two well-behaved and sensible girls, they lamented that they had no granddaughters, only very noisy grandchildren. Although it was full of complaints, there was more pampering and pride in the tone.
Quietly vanity rose slowly, holding Grandma Liu with her left hand and Grandma Wu with her right hand, her mouth was sweet: "Then I'll be your granddaughter, grandmothers don't mind, right?" ”
Xiao Nuan also followed up and said, "Grandma, I'm willing too!" ”
"Of course! We're finally the ones with our granddaughters! The two grandmothers smiled kindly, and immediately opened up a conversation like a chatterbox, and they were happy, saying that it had not been so lively for a long time.
When they chatted, the grandmothers also took out handmade paper folds with various tricks, and they felt that the grandmothers were like children, still maintaining a childlike heart, and they also learned well.
The grandmothers looked at the two clever little girls and kept clapping their hands and praising them.
Yu Yang was playing chess with Grandpa Zhao, and when he saw this scene not far away, the corners of his lips curved into a gentle arc.
Finding that there was no movement on the other side, Grandpa Zhao was puzzled, looked up at him, and then looked behind him, and suddenly realized.
"Xiao Xia, which girl do you like?" Grandpa Zhao winked at Yuyang and teased.
Hearing Grandpa Zhao's words, Yu Yang unnaturally opened his eyes, and a trace of red appeared in his earlobes: "Don't make fun of me." ”
"Grandpa is not the kind of old pedantic, I want to be young, there were a lot of people chasing your Grandma Zhao, but I was the first to be the one against all odds." Grandpa Zhao patted his chest, his face full of pride.
Hearing this, Yu Yang looked at Xiao Nuan again and found that she was also looking at her, her eyes meeting at once.
Lu Zihao was walking out with a few boxes of nutritional supplements, and when he saw Xiao Nuan's delicate face and bright eyes, he suddenly felt a secret feeling.
What is she looking at?
Follow her gaze—
What I saw was Xia Yuyang, with gentle eyes that could drip water, and it seemed that there was no room for others between the two.
Lu Zihao was so disappointed, the box in his hand was deformed, his heart seemed to fall into the abyss, and he turned around and stopped looking at them.
