Chapter 107: Can You Let Me Sleep Now?
On a bench under a streetlamp on the side of the road, a teenager was half-leaning in the girl's arms, and the girl held the boy's face and kissed the boy gently on the lips.
Cheng Xuanji's kiss was very short and light, and she left as soon as she touched it, and before He Huanyu could react, she had already run away with a red face.
He Huanyu, who came back to his senses, did not obscenely reminisce about the softness and warmth of Cheng Xuanji's lips, but just shook his head and silently followed not far behind Cheng Xuanji.
Neither of them spoke again, but walked not far and not close, walking unhurriedly, letting the streetlights stretch their shadows for a long time.
The night breeze is very light and soft, and it seems that it does not want to break this beautiful picture.
Cheng Nuxia, who was walking in front, seemed to have discovered something interesting, jumping up and down, and her steps were a little messy, which made He Huanyu, who was not far behind, inexplicable.
"Oh, Xiao He, don't move." Cheng Xuanji, who was taking strange steps, suddenly turned around and said coquettishly.
"What are you doing?" He Huanyu asked strangely.
"I won't tell you, just don't move anyway......" Cheng Nuxia snorted arrogantly, and jumped to step on He Huanyu's shadow stretched on the ground by the street lamp.
"Childish." After watching it for a while, I finally understood what this girl was doing, and shook her head a little funny. And then...... He swayed from side to side quickly, and turned his head at Cheng Xuanji as he ran, "I won't step on ...... for you."
"Xiao He, you still say that I am naïve, are you not naïve like this?" Cheng Xuanji was angry, and while speeding up to catch up, he also tried to step on the shadow that was swaying with He Huanyu's running.
"Okay, let's stop making trouble." He Huanyu, who was a little panting, admitted defeat first, and sat down directly on the lawn on the side of the road, "I admit defeat......"
"Hmph, you know how powerful this girl is, I'm 800 meters and 38 seconds." Cheng Nuxia sat down beside He Huanyu proudly, but one foot stubbornly stepped on He Huanyu's shadow, "Look, I'm still stepping on it." ”
"Yes, yes, you're the best." He Huanyu said a perfunctory sentence without sincerity, and lay down on the lawn by himself.
Maybe it was a heavy rain last night that washed away the dust of the small county town of Zunshan, or maybe the atmosphere of Zunshan in 2006 had not been poisoned, or maybe it was the 30th month of the eighth month of the lunar calendar......
In short, what He Huanyu sees now is the stars that he has never seen again in many years.
Perhaps the night sky is not as clear as it was seen in Lijia Village, Shuangxi County half a month ago, but it is better than not having the "moon" that night, so the stars in the night sky at this time are even brighter.
"Of course I'm amazing." Cheng Xuanji didn't care about the perfunctory in He Huanyu's tone, just when he praised himself for taking it all as it is, he hesitated slightly, and then followed He Huanyu's appearance and lay beside him.
"The stars are so beautiful, just like when I was a kid at my grandmother's house." Cheng Nuxia, who was leaning on He Huanyu's side, murmured a little, "Xiao He, do you know? When I was a child, my grandfather loved me, and when I was a child, I liked to watch the stars, so my grandfather made me a swing under the mulberry tree in the yard. Every night when the weather was nice, my grandfather would move a bamboo chair and sit on the edge of the swing frame, gently pushing me while pointing to the stars to tell me stories. ”
"My grandfather studied astronomy when he was young, and I heard that he was criticized during the turmoil, and although he was later rehabilitated, he also fell ill, and occasionally coughed a few times when telling me stories.
"I was a kid and didn't understand anything. I remember one time my grandfather suddenly told me that if I couldn't find him one day, I would look up at the brightest star in the night sky, and he was watching me there.
"Later, it was my grandmother who pushed the swing and told me the story." Saying that, Cheng Xuanji raised his hand, pointed to the brightest star in the southern sky and said, "Xiao He, you say, is the guild watching me over there?" ”
"Yes." He Huanyu said softly. He didn't know how to comfort him, and he had experienced a lot of pain from the loss of his loved ones, but unlike most people's choices, he was cowardly and used to escaping.
It seems that if you don't face it, the truth doesn't happen.
"Hehe, Xiao He, you lie." Cheng Nuxia shook her head and said softly, "That one is obviously Jupiter, and the news a few days ago also talked about the celestial phenomenon of Jupiter conjunct the moon." The geography teacher said that Jupiter is a gas giant, how could my grandfather be on it......"
"Well, who can say for sure about the soul......" He Huanyu was choked and had to quibble.
"Don't talk about that, say something happy." Cheng Xuanji suddenly waved her hand to end this heavy topic, "Xiao He, do you know why I stepped on your shadow just now?" ”
"Why?" seems to know that Cheng Nuxia is depressed, and He Huanyu rarely has no mouth.
"Because I suddenly remembered what my grandmother told me when I was a child, she said that if one person steps on the shadow of another person, then the two of them will be together forever." Cheng Xuanji turned to look at He Huanyu sideways, her eyes shining, "Xiao He, I want to be with you forever." ”
With a "bang", the fountain in the center of the square suddenly erupted high with music under the illumination of colored lights, and it was already nine o'clock.
He Huanyu sat up suddenly, looked at Cheng Xuanji, who was looking at him with burning eyes, and slowly leaned down.
As if sensing something, Cheng Nuxia closed her eyes gently, pursed her lips slightly, and found a more comfortable position to lie on the lawn, but the constantly beating eyelids and fluttering eyelashes revealed that her heart was not calm.
Nervous, shy, and a little expectant.
Closer, closer.
Cheng Xuanji felt the hot breath exhaled by He Huanyu, and her cheeks trembled slightly, but her eyes were tightly closed, as if she was waiting for something.
Looking at the posture of the girl in front of him, He Huanyu couldn't help but think of the smile of another girl at this moment.
Thinking of the girl, she blushed and scolded herself softly.
Thinking of the early snow that year, I confessed and kissed the girl in the snow.
Alas......
He Huanyu sighed softly, deliberately blew on Cheng Xuanji's face with her eyes closed, and regardless of Cheng Nuxia's coquettishness, she got up and ran.
This girl hasn't watched "July and Ansheng", so she naturally doesn't know another meaning of stepping on the shadow - the shadow is false after all, even if she steps on the shadow, she will never be able to capture the real other party.
"Bad Xiaohe, you still run, I want to run after bullying, see this girl spare you......" Cheng Xuanji, who realized that she was being teased, got up and chased after her, but no one paid attention, and the girl's face was hidden under the shame and stubbornness.
……
Chase and chase all the way, run and stop.
By the time I got back to Nitto Garden, it was almost ten o'clock.
The two took a shower in turn, and when they were lying on the bed, Cheng Xuanji was still pouting and complaining, "Xiao He, you are too thin, there are bones everywhere, and it is so hard, it hurts me to death." ”
He Huanyu, who was choked by the girl's speech, didn't speak, he just put the charged electric board back on the mobile phone and turned it on.
A series of text messages rang out.
Sixteen missed calls, seventy-four unread text messages.
At a glance, thirteen of them belonged to Xiao Zihao, from two to six o'clock yesterday afternoon, an average of two to three calls an hour, naturally urging He Huanyu to check the accounts.
The three are Cheng Xuanji, who is still pouting and complaining, and the time is after the exam in the afternoon.
In addition to Xiao Zihao, there is also a notification text message from the bank.
He Huanyu didn't look at Xiao Zihao's text messages, after all, he could guess what he was saying with his eyes closed, and just forwarded the sixty-six bank notification text messages to Xiao Zihao one by one for him to enter into his account.
It seems that Xiao Zihao took more than a dozen orders when he went to eat at night, but I don't know if he can finish it.
However, it stands to reason that there are still about six hours between when I leave the Internet café and 12 o'clock in the evening, which should be enough to finish the run.
He Huanyu was still thinking about it, but was interrupted by Cheng Xuanji beside him, "Xiao He, what can I talk to you......"
"Ah, what did you say?" He Huanyu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Oh, I can't help it if it doesn't grow meat, blame me......"
"I don't care, you have to compensate me." Cheng Nuxia played a scoundrel again, "You have to tell me a story." ”
"Tell me again...... It's so late, you have to take the exam tomorrow, and the last day of the exam is wow. He Huanyu had a headache.
"It doesn't matter, and I'm not sleepy now, I'll sleep after listening to the story." Cheng Xuanji does not follow the Tao, "unless ......"
"Unless what?" He Huanyu asked.
"Unless you agree to my request...... "Cheng Nuxia's eyes rolled, as if she had thought of some good idea, and said with a sly smile.
"What requirements?" He Huanyu continued to ask.
"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I've thought about it." Cheng Xuanji smiled.
"But you don't tell me anything, how can I promise you? What if it's something I can't do? He Huanyu was speechless.
"Don't worry, it won't be too hard for you. If you're really embarrassed by then, just let me know, and I'll ask for another one. Cheng Nuxia waved her hand, looking understanding.
"Okay, I promised. Can you put me to sleep now? He Huanyu yawned and asked.
"Woo, not yet, it's too fast." Cheng Xuanji's face was a little red, and her voice lowered, "I'm not mentally prepared yet......"
"Huh? Too fast? What is too fast," He Huanyu looked confused when he heard this, "Also, what mental preparations should I make for sleeping?" Do you want to have a bedtime prayer? ”
…… After being stunned for a while, He Huanyu suddenly reacted that there was some ambiguity in what he said just now.
However, what I mean is that I am sleepy and want to sleep, and this Nizi is thinking about something all day long to understand wrong.
He Huanyu looked at Cheng Xuanji a little speechlessly and did not speak.
After all, this would be inappropriate to say anything.
Looking at He Huanyu's expression from confused to suddenly realized to speechless, and finally looking at himself with a slightly strange look, Cheng Nuxia's face became more and more red, and finally she couldn't bear it, so she pulled up the quilt and said to her face, "It's nothing, I'm asleep, good night Xiao He." ”
"Good night." He Huanyu shook his head with a smile and reached out to turn off the light.
