After a while, the phone again came with a pleasant 'ding dong'.

Song Yimian got up again without a little delay, lay on the bed, scooped up the mobile phone that was thrown in the corner, and his slightly attentive eyes drooped down at the moment when the screen lit up.

This time it was a message from Gu Yi.

He didn't even bat at what the message was, and threw his phone back.

Maintaining this position, Song Yimian twisted his head and lay on the bed for a while before he grabbed the phone again and turned it on.

On the message page is a very concise and clear sentence - do you like Tao You or not?

Gu Yi originally had a little bottom in his heart, but after a short conversation in the evening and Song Yimian's vague attitude, he suddenly couldn't figure it out.

But he is not a person who can hold his mind and ponder for himself, and if he doesn't ask why for this matter, he shouldn't be able to sleep well tonight, or even for the rest of the week.

After washing the dishes in a hurry, his wet hands only wiped two handfuls on his clothes, and then he went back to the room to send a message to Song Yimian to ask, put his mobile phone on the table and stared at it without blinking, he bit his fingernails, shaking his legs impatiently and waiting for Song Yimian's reply.

Here, Song Yimian stared at the short line of words a little blankly for a long time.

Two unknown birds flew outside the window, chattering and chatting for a long time, pulling Song Yimian's divergent thoughts back, he stiffly turned his sour neck, turned off his mobile phone, was silent for a while, and got up and returned to the chair.

It's just that I didn't expect to give a message to Gu Yi, who was about to gnaw ten fingers on the other end and was waiting for the flowers to be thankful.

He ran his fingers over the textbook again, flipped through it randomly, and all at once he turned to the page where the photo was.

He picked it up and slowly unfolded it.

In the photo, the crystal-shaped ceiling light is warm yellow, and Gu Xiaoyan and Gu Xiaoyun grinned with similar two mouths, smiling festively and mischievously.

The self on the other side of the crease in the photo showed a faint smile in a good mood.

Among the four, only Tao You smiled stiffly, a cramped expression that could be guessed without careful thinking.

He couldn't remember why he had dragged Tao You's chair at the time......

Because of the waiter's sentence?

Or is it because it's fun and you want to tease her?

Song Yimian didn't know that he would occasionally become so disgusted.

It must have been with Gu Yi for a long time and was infected...... He found a reason to console himself.

He folded the photo according to the creases and watched the two sit in what seemed to outsiders intimacy, his fingers rubbing against the sharp edges of the photograph.

"Huh~" After a while, he looked at the person in the photo and laughed.

Only then did I react that I had been smiling at a photo for so long.

But after thinking about it, he remembered Tao You's silence and alienation on the way home, and the cold wind outside the window set off a bit of dryness on his body.

"Tsk."

He stuffed the picture into his textbook and rubbed his half-dried hair haphazardly.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong."

Gu Yi, who was waiting there with an itchy mouth and began to look for snacks to eat, didn't wait for Song Yimian's reply, and sent several messages one after another.

Song Yimian simply turned off the mute of his mobile phone, put away the photos, lay down on the bed, and chose to sleep to clear his mind.

Even if he cleared his thoughts, perhaps, as Gu Yi said, he wouldn't tell this big mouth with bad ideas at the first time.

But I didn't expect that one day after that, I would find that I was the biggest stumbling block on my emotional road......

——————————————————————————————————

"I'll go! What's going on?!" At half past one in the morning, Hong Xiqi called Tao You, and a sharp explosion erupted, "This photo! This posture, this smile! Also, he's so obedient to what he says to you~Ah~! I've got it~!" She controlled the volume and became more and more agitated the more she spoke.

Tao You turned off the speaker and put the phone on the pillow

, you can still hear the sound of Hong Xiqi slapping the mattress the other end.

She glanced at the time with sleepy eyes, sighed, and was glad that she didn't get up, otherwise she would have scolded Hong Xiqi at this time.

When I got home, I sent a message to Hong Xiqi, and I didn't reply until this point, I don't know what I've been doing for so long.

"If you two are fine, you'll have to break your head and say, 'Liar,!'"

At this point in time, Tao You is still a little taboo, especially when a strong wind blows outside the window.

She lifted the quilt and bowed quickly to the surrounding air, saying that she and Hong Xiqi had no intention of colliding.

"Why call now?" Tao Youwo entered the quilt, and in just a few seconds, the heating on his body was almost dissipated, "Aren't you sleeping?"

Hong Xiqi carefully opened the takeaway box, trying not to make noise, "I went home in the afternoon and slept in the afternoon, and I only woke up for a few hours."

"It's just over a little over, and it's not time for me to go to bed yet." She blew the hot air on the spicy tang, sucked the soup into her mouth, and sighed contentedly.

Yes, Tao You almost forgot Hong Xiqi's underworld routine during the holidays, and this was the most active time period in her twenty-four hours.

Anyway, the drowsiness had been driven away, Tao You turned sideways, tucked the corner of the quilt his face, just leaned his head close to the mobile phone on the pillow, and said in a muffled voice, "You also think Song Yimian is very strange during the day, right?"

Otherwise, how could he be obedient to himself, she would agree to whatever she said, eat whatever she wanted, and be so active when taking pictures......

"What's weird?" Hong Xiqi took back a cup of milk tea like a thief, "What's so strange. This big brother surnamed Song, sitting behind you, smiling so ambiguously,"

"It's just interesting to you, okay." Hong Xiqi opened the tablet and rummaged through the next dinner drama.

Tao You's breathing stagnated for half a second with Hong Xiqi's words, and the left hand that was twisting the quilt tightened a little.

The conjecture in his heart was said so bluntly by Hong Xiqi, and a gorgeous flower bloomed in his heart, as if he had been recognized, but he didn't dare to really think about it.

"It's just an ordinary laugh, where do you see the ambiguity. How could he like me......" Tao You was still a little embarrassed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't suppress his snicker, but he couldn't help but stretch out his hands, flipped through the photos, zoomed in and looked at Song Yimian's face that softened because of his smile, and wanted to make sure of something.

Finding a reason for Song Yimian against his will is also to give himself a more reassuring answer, "He just went out to play today and was in a good mood."

"And, we're both ...... now in the Cold War." Tao said awkwardly and in a lost place.

Hong Xiqi's mouth stopped eating, "Why?!"

Tao You briefly told the events of the evening, and then retracted his head back into the quilt, warming his cold lips with the hot quilt.

"Are you saying that Gu Yi and Song Yimian, behind our small group, have a little secret that belongs to the two of them?!"

Tao You put his warm mouth out of the quilt again, "This photo should be that he suddenly thought of something funny, not because of anything else."

This is for Hong Xiqi, but also for himself, so that he doesn't think about those whimsical things.

"! Don't fool yourself. The corners of your mouth are snickering as high as the moon right now." Hong Xiqi took a sip of milk tea, and said more anxiously than Tao You himself, "In this way, I'll help you ask Gu Yi now." Gu Yi must know something."

"I'll help you ask now!" She repeated a sentence and hung up the phone.

Starting from Gu Yi is one way.

She didn't want to wait for a moment to know the result of only two accurate answers: "yes" and "no."

The more I thought about it, the more sober I became, so I simply turned on the bedside lamp, sat up wrapped in the quilt, and kept refreshing the message page.

See the top of the page constantly in 'The other party is typing.'

......" and "Hong Xiqi" jumped in the middle, but the message page has not been updated.

Tao You clearly heard her heartbeat getting louder and louder, faster and faster, "Knock knock", as if it would jump out of her chest in the next second, but when she put her hand on her wrist to feel it, she found that her heartbeat was still within the normal range.

This anxiety, the feeling of being on the verge of a seizure, lasted until ten minutes later, when I opened the screenshot sent by Hong Xiqi.

It is the chat record between her and Gu Yi in the past ten minutes.

Gu Yi said......

He was also very curious, so he sent a message to ask Song Yimian in the evening.

It's a pity that there has been no reply to the message to Song Yimian, and there is a high probability that he doesn't like Tao You.

Attached is a screenshot of a one-sided chat with Song Yimian, the time is tonight, a few straightforward and short, seemingly easy to answer questions, but they are in the sea......

It's understandable to say that it took a few minutes to reply, but how many hours have passed, so if you like it, you should have replied a long time ago.

Silence means not wanting to answer the question.

If you don't want to answer, just explain it...... He didn't have that idea by default......

The heartbeat in my ears went down, but the feeling of tightness and shortness of breath in my chest was still there.

Tao Youqiang endured the sourness in his heart and picked up Hong Xiqi's phone.

"I'm sorry, little Youyou......" Hong Xiqi on the other end of the phone also lost the passion of the analysis just now, and his voice was full of guilt.

She should have remembered it a long time ago, didn't she hear that Song Yimian liked the sweet girl type at the time of the competition, and she had to ask what she was doing. This mouth, I owe it at night......

Tao You blinked his eyes that were slightly painful from the light, and sniffed out pretending not to care, "It's okay, I'll just say he doesn't like me."

"He just thought of something funny, just a laugh, how could it be as complicated as we thought......" She whispered more and more, and in the end, it was more like convincing herself.

She wanted to lighten the mood, "Oh, let's not just guess in the future, it's not good to make jokes."

"Little Quiet ......"

Tao You's voice trembled uncontrollably, as if he had exhausted all his strength, "I'm going to sleep, hang up, good night."

Hong Xiqi on the other end wanted to say something, but Tao You had already hung up the phone and turned off the lights.

"......" Hong Xiqi, who put down the phone, was distressed and angry.

Song Yimian, what is this?! The smile is so unclear, the action is so ambiguous, and it makes others feel like they are all over the place, but I can sleep peacefully.

! Scumbag!

Hong Xiqi wants to find a place to vent his emotions about wanting to beat people.

The scumbag's friend isn't a good guy either!

Hong Xiqi stirred the spicy hot vigorously, and couldn't help but call Gu Yi before he connected, and he indiscriminately output it over there!

Gu Yi rubbed his eyes, listened to Hong Xiqi's words full of national quintessence in a daze, and before he could ease his sleep, he saw that the phone was hung up, and he didn't think much about it, so he turned his head and continued to sleep......

In the dark, Tao You stared at the blank ceiling, salty tears sliding down his empty eyes, wetting half of the pillow.

In her mind, she kept recalling all kinds of beautiful episodes of the day, including Song Yimian's various actions and words that made her heart blush.

Although I was prepared for this expected answer, I still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when I really faced this result.

Tao You turned to the side, staring blankly at the light curtains being blown up and down by the wind, and finally regained his calm, feeling that his mood was also like this curtain, because of Song Yimian's actions, other people's guesses, they kept ups and downs.

The wind stopped, and the curtains returned to their original positions, leaving no trace of the visit...... There is nothing left......

Only the curtains knew that the wind had come

......

Everything is the self-inflicted sentimentality of the 'curtain'.

From time to time, there were a few hearty laughter outside the house, and I don't know who was still watching TV in the middle of the night.

Tao You forced herself not to think about it, Song Yimian didn't like herself at all, she didn't have to prove it from the side over and over again, she was herself looking for guilt, and she was expecting a miraculous change in that fixed answer again and again.

Let's wait for the college entrance examination to finish.

Maybe...... Can miracles really happen......

Another voice in her heart who didn't want to give up like this comforted Tao You softly, just wanting her to feel a little better.

But tears still unconsciously wet the other half's pillow in their sleep.

Obviously, the coldest time of the year has passed, and the weather forecast at half past six every night also says that the temperature will warm up significantly from the next few days.

But in the middle of the night, the cold wind still swept through the city, and the leaves that had been on the trees for a winter were finally blown to the ground, as if winter had come again.

Why is it so cold today's winter......

Tao You, who was asleep, curled up unconsciously.

——————————————————————————————————

"Ah, Tao You, what's wrong with your eyes? Stung by a bee while sleeping, or crying? Why is it so swollen?!"

There are only two days left until the start of school, and several days have passed since that depressing early morning.

But in the middle of the night, at this most suitable time for EO, Tao You still can't help but think about it, and then toss and turn and can't sleep, or have nightmares all night.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Father Tao came out of the kitchen worriedly, saw Tao You sitting at the dining table with two swollen walnut eyes, and hurriedly took a small bag of ice cubes from the refrigerator, wrapped it in a towel and handed it to her.

Of course, Tao You won't tell everything in 1510, but said, "I have a nightmare, I dreamed that I wasn't admitted to college, and you swept me out of the house and didn't want me anymore."
