A year later.

Summer vacation.

Chen Wanxing sat at the desk in the room, looking through the calendar on the table.

It has been eighty-nine days since the last time I met Zhan Jinchen.

He still texts her every day and calls occasionally.

But Chen Wanxing still felt that something was missing in her heart, and she felt empty.

She would envy the couple walking on the side of the road holding hands, envy them for talking about everything, and envy that they can accompany each other every day and do the same thing over and over again.

Plain but stable.

The sweltering summer heat brought thunderstorms, and the raindrops drifted from the window onto the desk.

Chen Wanxing got up and closed the window, put on the headphone tray and sat on the carpet.

Playing in the headphones are the audio books she uses to practice her Russian listening.

The junior high school teacher said that she had a good language talent, because she liked to watch anime, she taught herself Japanese, and she took Russian in college, which she had not been exposed to.

After promising Zhan Jinchen not to go out to work part-time, she took on some text translation jobs on the Internet, and often earned some money, which was enough for her daily use.

She didn't move the card that Zhan Jinchen gave her, and he would often transfer some so-called pocket money to her online.

But Chen Wanxing still hopes to rely less on him financially, and does not want to become a burden and burden to him.

"Didi-Di-"

The sound of the combination lock sounded, and Chen Wanxing, who was wearing headphones, did not notice it.

Zhan Jinchen put the suitcase in his hand at the entrance, and when he saw that there was no one in the living room, he walked straight to the door of Chen Wanxing's room.

When I opened the door, I saw Chen Wanxing sitting on the carpet with her back against the sofa, wearing headphones and closing her eyes, not noticing that someone had entered the room at all.

"How do you sleep here?" Zhan Jinchen bent down and picked up Chen Wanxing from the ground.

Chen Wanxing suddenly opened her eyes, took off her headphones and looked at Zhan Jinchen in surprise: "...... You're back? ”

"Hmm." Zhan Jinchen put her on the side of the bed, and asked her, "What are you listening to?" ”

"Listen to it if you're bored."

Under the four eyes, the atmosphere unconsciously became ambiguous.

The kiss fell with the thought of separation, and the feeling of suffocation made Chen Wanxing soften more and more in his arms.

When Zhan Jinchen naturally wanted to make further moves, Chen Wanxing suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"What's wrong?" He asked in a low voice.

“…… Do you only come here to me when you want to do this kind of thing? ”

Zhan Jinchen's whole body froze, reached out and gently stroked Chen Wanxing's long hair, and asked her, "Why do you have such an idea?" ”

"Because you're always like that."

This is the first time Chen Wanxing has complained to him.

But it is not difficult to see that these grievances have been holding back in Chen Wanxing's heart for a long time.

"Because I miss you. I haven't seen him in more than two months. ”

The sentence "I miss you" destroyed all the grievances and resentments that had accumulated in Chen Wanxing's heart for two months.

"I'm almost busy, there is still more than half a month left in the summer vacation, and I can always accompany you."

Chen Wanxing took the initiative to reach out and hug him, buried her head in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "I miss you too." ”

Zhan Jinchen smiled, the moment he hugged her, his heart was complete.

For him, only this place is a pure land, which can allow him to temporarily put aside all distractions and troubles, and enjoy the healing that Chen Wanxing has brought to him with peace of mind.

The thunderstorm could not extinguish the flames of the burning fire, and the clothes were scattered around the bed, and no one cared about it.

At the same time, his fingers shuttled through her long silky black hair, and he couldn't put it down.

She also knew that he liked her long hair, and she had been carefully grooming it.

I just want to present a better version of myself to him.
