Chapter 53: Just Right
As the saying goes, endure the calm for a while, and the more you take a step back, the more angry you become.
Although the dishes in the Northeast restaurant taste good, Tang Zhao doesn't have much heart to eat.
All he was thinking about was what he should do to remedy the moment when he was killed outside the store just now. It's just that it's too late now, Qin Zheng chewed the pot wrapped meat in his mouth, and Tang Zhao had to sigh softly.
"Sigh, what's the matter, I'll treat you this time, I won't take advantage of you."
Qin Zheng saw that Tang Qiu, who was sitting opposite, had no appetite, and after speaking, he took the initiative to put a piece of pot-wrapped meat for him and put it in the bowl.
"Not the problem. Forget it, I told you that you don't understand, eat your meal. ”
"Tang Xuan, if you don't say it, how can I understand? Besides, it's Saturday and Sunday from tomorrow, can you be a little happier? ”
The expression on Qin Zheng's face was full of anticipation for the upcoming weekend. This is understandable, but as a student, there is no one who does not like holidays.
It's just a holiday, at most, it's a temporary summer escape at home. The weather has been hot recently, and Tang Zhao doesn't want to go out, but fortunately, there is no going out arrangement this week, and he can be regarded as having a good time.
However, Tang Zhao thought so, but Qin Zheng was not ready to let him go.
"Tang Qiu, where are we going to play tomorrow?"
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm just playing at home."
Tang Qiu replied very decisively, with the experience of last weekend, he no longer hesitated this time, and directly expressed his heart.
"Shall we play at your house or mine?"
“……”
Qin Zheng looked sincere, and Tang Zheng was speechless.
"Each plays in his own home."
"What about dinner?"
“……”
Tang Yu felt that Qin Zheng seemed to be relying on him.
"I said, when did we say we were going to have dinner together every day? Besides, weren't you doing well before we had dinner together? I don't have to have dinner together every day, as the so-called distance produces beauty, I don't know if you can understand my words......"
Tang Yu spoke, and Qin Zheng nodded in agreement.
It's just that Tang Zhao felt a little regretful after speaking, I don't know why, I just feel a little empty in my heart.
"Then we won't eat together or see each other. Since Tang Zhao hates me so much, I will stay away from you in the past two days and give you personal space. ”
"I didn't say I hated you......"
"Do you like me?"
Qin Zheng leaned on the dining table with his elbows, his palms supported his chin, and his delicate appearance was smiling brightly, like spring flowers.
"Do you want me to answer in the affirmative?"
Tang Zhao tried to pull with Qin Zheng, but Qin Zheng was unmoved.
"To like is to like, and not to like is not to like. There are some things in this world that are not so difficult to choose. ”
Qin Zheng gave his own opinions, and there was some truth in his words.
"Hurry up and eat, Tang Xuan, the dish is about to be cold."
"yes, okay."
The weather was so hot and humid that it was a bit overwhelming.
After the two of them solved the dinner problem in the Northeast restaurant, as soon as they pushed open the door of the Northeast restaurant, they were greeted by a heat wave.
This summer seems to be hotter than any previous summer, and once you feel the air conditioning in a Tohoku restaurant, the contrast to the outside temperature is enough to take your breath away.
Two big milk cakes were not enough to fight against the heat, and the two of them went home all the way, and when they passed by the gate of Qin Zheng's community, Qin Zheng stopped.
"Aren't you going to sit in my house?"
Tang Qi asked, and Qin Zheng shook his head slightly.
"No, Tang Zhao told me that distance produces beauty, can I still not understand what it means."
“……”
"By the way, this is the elevator card of my community, which is spare at home. With it, it will be more convenient for you to come to me next time, and you don't have to worry about not being able to enter the community or get on the elevator. ”
Qin Zheng took out a card from the pocket on the side of his skirt and handed it to Tang Zhao, it seemed that it had been prepared a long time ago.
Before entering the gate of the community, Qin Zheng turned around and added another sentence to Tang Xuan.
"Tang Zhao, I'm also a girl."
After she finished speaking, she entered the community, leaving Tang Chao to stand in place with a blank face.
"Of course I know you're a girl......"
Tang Qiu muttered to himself, after all, it was difficult to reach the scorching heat, and he set foot on the way home.
Tang Qiu, who returned to his home, felt the refreshing coolness in the air-conditioned room. He prepared the dog food for the dragon cub, and suddenly felt that he had nothing to do.
Tang Qiu sat on the sofa at home, but did not turn on the TV.
His figure was reflected on the TV, which was the personal space he and Qin Zheng showed they wanted to have.
Tang Qiu's character is exactly like this, he doesn't like noisy occasions very much, and when he thinks quietly, he always thinks about something meaningless.
Can distance really produce beauty, Tang Chao's heart couldn't help but start to have questions.
He is not stupid, Qin Zheng's reaction is enough to show that she feels her statement with her heart. But Qin Zheng's feedback to Tang Zhao was not what Tang Zhao expected.
He regretted saying those words to Qin Zheng a little.
After a short period of empathy, Tang Qiu realized that he said those words to Qin Zheng, who was a girl, without considering Qin Zheng's face at all.
Maybe it's because of this that Qin Zheng said such a sentence before entering the gate of the community.
Tang Xi's thoughts were a little messy, he felt that he should apologize to Qin Zheng, but he didn't understand why he apologized.
If the reason for apologizing is only because of the way you expressed it, not because you thought it wrong, then the apology is completely unnecessary, isn't it?
Whenever the thoughts in Tang Qiu's mind turned into a pot of porridge, the small theater in his mind would appear at the same time.
As for the protagonist of the small theater in the brain, it is naturally an angel and a demon.
At this moment, the angels and demons were standing in a great desert, with the scorching sun above their heads and the hot grains of sand under their feet.
The sun pierced them, and they couldn't open their eyes, so they could only squint into the vast distance.
The demon is holding a pu fan in his hand, and he is trying to cool himself and the angel next to him.
"Actually, it's good for him to do this, keep a distance from his female classmates, so that it won't seem that the two are too close, and it can be regarded as a manifestation of self-cleanliness, which is worthy of recognition."
Angel expressed her opinion that she always looks at things from a positive point of view, thus supporting Tang Zhao's integrity.
The demon is different, he is sweating profusely, but he still hasn't forgotten to complain.
"If you want me to say, this guy just doesn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings."
After the demon finished speaking, he waved the fan in his hand vigorously, but it was also hot wind.
Tang Zhao listened to the conversation between the two silently, and the sentence in the demon's mouth that he didn't know how to be blessed in the blessing was a hit on the point, stabbing Tang Qiu's heart.
That's what kind of shelf he is putting up, Qin Zheng is as beautiful as a flower, it is his blessing to be close to him, and there are many boys who want to have dinner with Qin Zheng every day.
When this kind of thought began to emerge in Tang Qiu's heart, he naturally felt that he was at a loss, and indirectly began to feel anxious.
It was only then that he realized that the scene of the angel and the demon had changed to the hot desert area, and it was not a true portrayal of his mood at this moment.
Outside the window, it was getting dark, and night was falling.
Tang Xi wandered around the house, spinning around like a headless fly.
He held the mobile phone in his hand, and the interface stopped in the WeChat chat box with Qin Zheng, but he didn't know how to speak.
On the other side, Qin Zheng was watching dramas on his laptop in his room at home.
There are potato chips and milk tea next to the computer, and it looks like a comfortable life.
It's just that the plot on the screen is going Qin Zheng doesn't know, her mind is full of what Tang Zhao told him in the Northeast restaurant today.
What does that mean? Want to keep your distance?
Why don't we just have dinner together? At most, I slept at his house for one night, huh? Why do you act like you've been pestering him all day?
I'm a young and beautiful girl, don't I want to lose face?
Endure the calm for a while, take a step back, and the more you think about it, the more angry you become.
Qin Zheng felt that he had performed well enough, perhaps because he was so shocked when he heard Tang Yu say this, that he didn't look back.
Girls will always be angry because they didn't play well enough when they quarreled, although Qin Zheng didn't quarrel with Tang Zheng, but she now has a million regrets in her heart.
Isn't it just a weekend and don't see each other, what's the big deal? Although the dishes he made are delicious, there are obviously more types of takeaways to choose from, hum.
Qin Zheng's gaze occasionally flashed on the mobile phone on the table, but no new message prompted him.
"Okay, you Tang Xuan, don't send me a message yet, you're awesome......"
Qin Zheng sat at the table angrily and clapped his hands, hating his teeth.
Outside the window, it began to rain densely and lightly, and the rain was very rapid, turning into a heavy rain in a very short time.
In fact, the rain is also quite good, after all, the whole Shencheng is now in a sultry state.
Qin Zheng got up and walked to the window, listened to the sound of rain outside the window, and reached out to close the curtains.
She sat back at her desk, but she didn't bother to keep her eyes on the laptop screen in front of her, and simply withdrew the episode she was playing.
Qin Zheng has been coming to Shencheng for a while, and although the life here is more ordinary than Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is better to live easily.
Qin Zheng picked up his mobile phone and looked at the content of WeChat Moments. She found that her intimate friends who were familiar with Suzhou and Hangzhou before, even if they were missing themselves in the selfies they took when they went out to play together, they didn't seem to make any difference.
After learning that Qin Zheng transferred to another school, her friends in Suzhou and Hangzhou were very sad, and at the last dinner, everyone made an appointment, no matter how far apart, their hearts will always be together.
Qin Zheng casually clicked on the chat box with one of his friends, and found that the last time he had a conversation was ten days ago.
In the past ten days, the other party didn't even ask how Qin Zheng was doing in Shencheng and whether he was used to the new school environment.
The female classmates at the dinner that day tacitly agreed not to contact Qin Zheng anymore, even if some girls were even crying because Qin Zheng was going to leave Suzhou and Hangzhou to transfer to Shencheng.
Is this emotion faked, of course not.
Everyone has their own life, and although people are social creatures and inevitably have to deal with others in life, not everyone is so important in life.
After the other party is out of their own environment, those so-called common topics and intersections have disappeared little by little over time.
Qin Zheng didn't take the initiative to ask how those girls were doing, it seemed that she was very lonely. She should be very handsome, she used to be very handsome in their hearts, and now she lives alone in Shencheng, and she has to shine.
Outside the window, a bolt of lightning flashed.
It's just that Qin Zheng, who closed the curtains, didn't see it, and when she found out, it was already when she heard thunder.
Fortunately, the thunder was far away, and it didn't sound like it was ringing in his ears, but it was enough for Qin Zheng to run into bed and get into the quilt before he even had time to turn off the computer.
Qin Zheng's whole body was trembling, but she couldn't control herself.
Qin Zheng will be afraid of thunder, also thanks to her parents.
She will never forget that when she was eight years old, her parents worked overtime and held meetings late in the company because of work, and that day was a thunderstorm night, and the young Qin Zheng could only cry helplessly in the empty and dark home.
Since then, she has become unusually afraid of thunder.
Now, at the age of seventeen, she is back to the state she was in when she was eight years old.
Alone, helpless.
Qin Zheng shrunk into the quilt, she frowned tightly, and her whole person fell into a deep despair.
Tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes, she bit her lip, and in this same thunderstorm night, she could only cry silently, which made people feel distressed.
The memories in Qin Zheng's mind flashed back to the fragment of the last thunderstorm, when the temperature in Tang Zheng's arms was still fresh in Qin Zheng's memory.
I guess I won't have that experience again.
Distance produces beauty, is it really an advanced way to dissuade yourself......
"Stupid Don Promotes ......"
Qin Zheng hid in the quilt and muttered quietly while crying.
At this moment, there was a violent knock at the door of Qin Zheng's house.
Qin Zheng didn't know who it was, she was already panicking because of the thunder, and she was even more worried about strangers visiting.
"Qin Zheng, it's me, I'm Tang Xuan!"
Qin Zheng, who was curled up in the quilt, heard Tang Xi's shout, her eyes couldn't help but widen, she lifted the quilt and got up from the bed, she didn't care about her image and didn't even have time to put on her slippers, so she rushed to the entrance.
When she opened the door, she saw Tang Qiu, who was drenched in soup, and an umbrella in his hand.
Qin Zheng cried so much that pear blossoms brought rain, and Tang Yu didn't know what to say for a while when he saw her like this.
He raised his arms and just wanted to take Qin Zheng into his arms, but he noticed that his whole body was wet from the rainstorm, and he retracted his arms.
"I'm sorry, Qin Zheng, I shouldn't have said that."
"Why are you talking about this now, don't you have an umbrella, why are you still wet like this?"
"No way, I came running after hearing the thunder, and it's not convenient to run with an umbrella......"
Tang Xi stretched out his hand and scratched his head, barely squeezing out a smile.
The rain on his forehead ran down his hair, and Tang Yu quickly wiped it with his arm.
"I thought, I'll give you a pair of earplugs next time. When it's raining, you sleep with earplugs on so you don't hear the thunder. I'll give you another headset and listen to music when you can't sleep. Of course, you can't listen to music with both earbuds and headphones on, it would look like you're stupid......"
Before Tang Zheng finished speaking, Qin Zheng had already thrown himself into his arms.
"Tang urges, you're so annoying!"
Qin Zheng clenched his fist and kept pounding Tang Qiu's chest, but this fist was weak and weak.
"I'm drenched in the rain, don't hold me. Hugging at the door of the house, being seen by others is not good, and the impact is not good. Oh I forgot, your house is a big flat, and no one else is here on this floor, so it's okay. ”
Qin Zheng, who threw himself into Tang Zhao's arms, cried even louder, and Tang Zheng could only gently pat her back with one palm, after all, he was still holding an umbrella in his other hand.
"It's all your fault, what kind of distance produces beauty, woo woo woo woo ......"
Qin Zheng blamed Tang Zhao while crying, and Tang Zhao could only coax her.
"But there's another sentence behind the generation of beauty, do you know what it is?"
"What is ......?"
Tang Qi lowered his head and leaned close to Qin Zheng's ear, smiled and spoke softly.
"Time makes love."
He threw the umbrella in his hand on the ground and reached out to hug the girl in his arms.
At the same time, the mobile phone in Tang Zhao's pocket rang, it was a pure music called "Blue Sky", which he thought was quite good, so he set it to be a ringtone.
As for the reason why he didn't answer the phone, it's also very simple.
He thinks this piece fits the current atmosphere very well, it should be said......
Just right.
