Chapter 13: Tenderness and Affection Ignorance
In the blink of an eye, Chenxi also stayed in the local university to study. However, his school is a notch above mine.
At the beginning of college, we each started our own lives. Ah Jian, Xiao Bin, and Wu Song went to universities in different places, Ah Pao dropped out of school and became an apprentice bartender, and the cub began to prepare to be a father because of his girlfriend's unexpected pregnancy, and Chubby followed his father to start a stall business.
In just one summer vacation, our lives have become very different.
Chenxi and I are still getting along with each other, since the relationship was confirmed, we have become nondescript, neither like friends nor lovers, in short, in a word: I feel a little worse.
Ah Pao said to me: How can anyone fall in love like you, there has been no phone call for ten days and half a month, and everyone is together when they meet.
Ah Pao doubted me: Dayi, you won't be completely incapable of falling in love, right?
I was speechless, I just felt awkward, I felt that the person standing in front of Chenxi was not me at all, she was contrived and twisted, she was not natural at all, she made me feel disgusting.
Chenxi will take the initiative to take my hand, his fingers are particularly slender and soft to hold. Chenxi would occasionally take the initiative to take my shoulder, and I awkwardly let him hold me, and my walk became unnatural.
Chenxi didn't have much to say about me, he didn't care much about me, he just asked me about my family situation, he just asked me how I felt, he generally liked to confide in me, talk about his college affairs, talk about his thoughts, talk about the latest football games and current affairs.
He would still make small gestures of tenderness, or hook my nose, or pinch my face. But there has never been a moment when we have truly embraced and kissed vigorously.
The love depicted in those books, those lingering and sympathetic love tastes, are all things that I have not experienced from this love.
When Chenxi was in college, his parents were sent abroad. He stayed in the local area alone, living in his own home, and because it was far away from the school, he was one of the first students in the school to have a car.
At that time, his parents bought him the latest Audi. I feel proudest when he occasionally picks me up from school in his car.
At that time, Chenxi was already very tall, he liked to wear shirts and jeans, and he looked as clean and comfortable as ever.
I began to quietly grow long hair, learned how to whiten my skin from the fairies, and even bought a dress to wear in front of Chenxi in the summer.
When Chenxi asked me to play ball with me and said that I was afraid that I wouldn't go to tan, he was stunned, but then he laughed, and he said: It seems that my crazy girl has also grown up and knows that she loves beauty.
He gradually stopped calling me Dayi, sometimes he called him, sometimes he called me girl.
We really became close in the month when he was in the hospital in a basketball accident and fell in a game.
At that time, because his parents were away, I took care of him wholeheartedly for a month. Stew soup and run to the hospital every day, sleep on the small bed next to his hospital bed at night, help him clean his injuries, and so on.
Otherwise, it is easiest to spark love in the hospital, one day he saw me working so hard, and took me in his arms, he said: Thank you.
It was our first real hug. After that time, my first kiss and my first night were lost.
His injury deepened our feelings. What I did softened his heart.
We started eating, watching movies, leaning together on our phones like all couples. And our relationship gradually began to move from kissing to touching and then to taking off.
