Chapter 3: Night

After passing through a small alley, I walked up a small slope that was not very steep and did not have many twists and turns, and the small slope was connected with walls on both sides.

In the past two years, the economy has been good, the houses have been built higher and higher, and the houses that have been surrounded by walls and only the upper part can be seen are so rich and gorgeous, and Wei Ji's home is hidden behind these gorgeous houses.

His home is a small two-story building.

The old wall made of red bricks is a bit old-fashioned, and the creeper lies on top of a thick layer, if it is not for this layer of creeper, the low wall can't cover anything at all, and you can see many plants in the yard from the outside.

Two tall laurel trees are not far from the wall, and their leaves are fresh and green, and they are growing very well.

It is these plants that are not like wild flowers and weeds, but are well cared for, that make people understand that this small building was also inhabited.

Grandpa and he don't know how to decorate, and they are not very interested in decoration, the small courtyard in front of him and those houses in the alley look very different, in such a gorgeous overall environment, the small building can be said to be out of place.

Wei Ji felt that there was a kind of artistic conception hidden in the city.

Open the rusty iron door, the door creaks and rubs a little piercing, after opening the door, a piece of green rushes into the eye, you can see that the level of people who take care of this courtyard is good, and all kinds of plants complement each other well, very harmonious.

The most eye-catching are the two laurel trees that are very vigorous, with flourishing branches and leaves, but unfortunately it is not yet time for them to bloom, and the roses and gardenias are also very good, and the yard is almost full of flowers and trees, but none of the varieties will bloom during this month.

Some of the plants in this yard were planted by Wei Ji's grandfather, but most of them were newly planted by Xia Mi, and Wei Ji was not interested in taking care of these, but he clearly knew that Xia Mi had added those varieties.

When Xia Mi took him to the flower market to buy seedlings, and after planting the seedlings in the yard, he was semi-forced by Xia Mi to water those seedlings for half a month, and it was this factor that made the Wiji Society have a lot of affection for these plants that are now brightly colored.

"Wei Ji, find a time to replace this broken door, I really don't know if this door can prevent thieves, every time the wind blows, it doesn't stop, especially at night, it's scared to death in the middle of the night."

Natsumi pushed the door and thought about it in pieces.

Wei Ji didn't care about Xia Mi's worries, because it was purely unfounded, this gate was not good, just that sound was really the only weapon to prevent theft, as long as it moved, it would ring non-stop, as long as it sounded, it was clear that someone had come in, although the thief could come when no one was around, but compared with the old wall that could be easily climbed over, the security was still much higher.

It was getting late, and although Natsumi complained, she was not slow to bring the food into the house and prepare it for cooking.

Wei Ji put the bicycle into the carport, and after repeated inspections, he went upstairs to rest slowly, and the whole person was quite a bit of Tao Yuanming's leisurely meaning of 'picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely'.

……

Xia Mi's cooking skills are great, Wei Ji knows, after all, his grandfather taught him, and when Wei Ji was a child, his grandfather also wanted to teach him some things, what erhu and calligraphy, Go and gardening, brewing and making tea, etc.

The old man most likely regarded himself as his heir to the mantle, and he couldn't wait to pass on the Dafa to him, but Wei Ji still disappointed him.

Wei Ji also learned everything, but he only learned a scratch of the surface, no matter what his grandfather taught, every time he learned for a while, he would feel troublesome, and then, well, give up happily......

Grandpa also had excellent cooking skills, but Wei Ji at that time refused his temptation on the grounds that he couldn't reach the stove.

In fact, the stove is not high, and Wei Ji is enough in the fourth grade of primary school, but he thinks that someone can do it, so why bother to learn it.

Later, I was lucky that I didn't learn, because someone learned this unique skill of my grandfather, and my grandfather brought back a little girl to the house, that is, Xia Mi.

When he was a child, Xia Mi looked so cute, clever and smart, and he was an excellent mantle heir, but unfortunately his grandfather probably didn't have the heart to teach those at that time, except for cooking, all other Xia Mi didn't learn.

Wei Ji thought more than once that if it wasn't for his grandfather who brought Xia Mi home, he might really starve to death...... Wei Ji had to thank the old man again, he was really far-sighted.

"Try this plate of roast potato chicken I made." Wei Ji sandwiched a piece of roast chicken in Xia Mi's bowl, with a flattering smile on his face, just like when he asked his Chinese teacher to comment on his essay when he was a child, Wei Ji only hoped that she could be merciful.

Xia Mi glanced at Wei Ji, at least it was pleasing to the eye, so he picked up the chopsticks, picked up the meat in the bowl, and put it in his mouth.

Wei Ji observed very carefully, and he saw Xia Mi's beautiful two eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he couldn't help but jump his eyelids.

"Well, barely, it's good pig food, but unfortunately, there are no pigs at home." Xia Mi showed no mercy, "Use more dim sum in the future, although grandpa likes spicy food, but you shouldn't put so many chili peppers, obviously I have said it many times." ”

Of course, she knew why Wei Ji was so stubborn, obviously he had zero talent, and he had to pester herself to learn this dish, this dish was not expensive, and it was not complicated, but it carried many memories.

The Dead Child wants to grasp every detail that can be recalled.

Wei Ji was a little discouraged: "Then I'll go and pour it." ”

"What? What a waste it is, I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are! Natsumi stretched out her chopsticks to stop him.

"But didn't you say it's pig food?" Wei Ji touched his nose with an embarrassed expression.

"Young master, the family is not as good as before, you will eat the dishes at once, if you still feel hungry after eating, young master, I will go to the kennel of Aunt Wang's house next door to find out if there is any left."

Of course, Wei Ji understood that Xia Mi was using pigs and dogs to laugh at him, but seeing Xia Mi's tears rolling in his eyes, looking like a sad play, the smile on Wei Ji's face became bright again.

Just laugh, Wei Ji has never been very serious about these jokes.

The two are like this almost every day, noisy and noisy, but very harmonious, and there are some fireworks in the world.

"By the way, yesterday I received a package with a letter and a cell phone."

Xia Mi was still eating, and when she heard this, she was immediately shocked: "What? Have the enemy forces found us? ”

"No, there are no enemy troops, it's an admission letter from a university abroad." Wei Ji smiled and thought for a while, "It seems to be called a card... Kassel coming? But I have never applied to a university abroad. ”

Xia Mi was stunned: "Is it the Kassel Academy?" ”

Wei Ji was strange: "Have you heard? I thought that some kind of fraudster specially came up with such a pheasant university to fool me, and I had to complain, this routine is too old. ”

"No, it's just a sudden wonder why you suddenly want to go abroad."

"To be honest, I really didn't think about it before, I always felt that the great rivers and mountains of the motherland haven't been taken a good look at, so why go abroad."

"And now?" Natsumi asked.

Wei Ji thought for a while: "Now, after thinking about it, I feel better at home, free America, gunfights every day, remember, grandpa let us live well." ”

Xia Mi didn't answer after hearing this, but just silently continued to pick up the food.

Wei Ji made a gun with his hand, squinting at Piapiapia, wanting to tease Xia Mi, but seeing that she didn't have any feedback, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that it suddenly occurred to me that our yard hasn't been planted with flowers that will bloom in this season, and it's a pity that you suddenly want to go abroad."

"Why, I don't plan to go out."

Just like the summer solstice, the insects groan, and just like the winter solstice, everything is quiet, some fates can't be stopped, what should come will come after all, she has been escaping for a long time, life is really comfortable, so comfortable that she almost forgot her fate.

Natsumi shook her head and didn't speak again.

At this time, it was already dark outside, and only the lights inside the house were bright.

Xia Mi looked outside the house, I don't know what came to mind, the girl's delicate smile was like a flower blooming: "Wei Ji, let's go to the amusement park together tomorrow, and the flowers in the yard haven't bloomed this season yet, let's buy some flower seedlings that bloom at this time and plant them in the yard." ”

Wei Ji was stunned, and didn't understand why the girl had a whim: "Oh roar, you're starting to give up on yourself?" I didn't expect you to learn to skip class. ”

"It's not all your fault, I can't study on my own every morning, the head teacher of our class is still the teaching director, don't you know, that old woman has to say a few words about you every day, and sometimes she even takes me with her."

Wei Ji's face suddenly sank: "What did the old woman say about you?" ”

Natsumi stuck out her tongue, her little face was a little hot, and she said embarrassedly: "It's not you yet, the whole school thinks the two of us are in love, and we go home together every day......"

"Oh, that's fine." Wei Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, did you hear clearly, what is called that, do you know how important innocence is to a girl." Xia Mi suddenly became angry.

Wei Ji didn't answer, the sunny smile on weekdays had been retracted at this time, he was like a ruthless eating machine, just bowing his head and picking up the rice, and then said vaguely: "What did you say?" Oh, amusement parks? Of course! ”

Xia Mi looked at the boy opposite who seemed to have a deep hatred for rice, and became even more angry: "Eat, eat, eat, you know to eat, if you don't finish all the rest of the food on the table today, you just wait and see." ”

Leaving down a cruel sentence that was not a cruel word, Xia Mi put down the dishes and chopsticks and went upstairs.

After she left, Wei Ji, who was still looking dead, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, how could Wei Ji not know the importance of reputation to people, isn't this all for the sake of preventing thieves, thieves, and junior brothers.

As for Natsumi's threat, which was not a threat, his appetite had grown more and more during this time, and sometimes he was shocked when he ate it completely without hesitation, and there must be no problem after eating it.

Wei Ji wiped out the food on the table, and hummed a few small songs from time to time, so that the days of bullying and bullying Xia Mi every day made him feel very happy.

……

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, after Wei Ji wiped out all the food, he washed the dishes and chopsticks and put them back in the cabinet, checked them and turned off the lights, felt that there was no problem, and went upstairs.

After going upstairs, Wei Ji subconsciously glanced at the direction of Xia Mi's room, the door of the room was closed, and there was no light leaking through the crack in the door. I don't know if she started to sleep, Wei Ji thought to himself.

Without disturbing and turning off the lights in the living room, Wei Ji subconsciously relaxed his steps and went back to his room.

Natsumi's room is simply furnished.

A simple desk, with not many things on it, just a mirror and some girl's gadgets, and a chair that was pushed into it in a very regular manner. The silver-white solid wood wardrobe is at a right angle to the desk, and the wardrobe is facing the window. The curtains are beautiful, white lace gauze curtains and dark cyan velvet curtains. Under the window was a bed with a white bedspread, white sheets, and white pillows, with no frills other than a relaxed bear on the pillow and a big bear next to the pillow.

It's not like a girl's boudoir, it's more like a big bed room in a hotel, and it's still the same as when you first checked in......

Natsumi was sitting on the bed at this time, with her hands on her knees, her head resting on her knees, staring at the window in a daze.

When did she get here?

The first time I saw Wei Ji in my memory was on a rainy day, Xia Mi, who had nowhere to go, finally chose to shrink into the slide in the children's park, she was not so afraid of the cold, but she didn't want people to find out, and she didn't want to wet her clothes, she spent money......

What she never expected was that the children's park, which should not have existed because of the rain, had an unexpected visitor when the rain was in full swing.

After the child came, he did not take shelter from the rain, but stubbornly sat on the seesaw that looked the most obvious in the whole children's park, pressed one end of the seesaw down and ran over to press the other end, over and over again, tirelessly.

Xia Mi hid in the dark and watched him for a long time, and she was a little fascinated, and she didn't even know when an old man suddenly appeared from behind her, which scared her enough.

Later, the boy was taken away by the old man, and Natsumi was also taken home by the old man in a daze, and that night, she ate a very delicious meal, then took a clean hot bath, and changed into the boy's clothes.

When she reacted, she began to regret it, so the next morning, she left without leaving any news.

After leaving, Natsumi suddenly found that she still had nowhere to go, and finally fled back to the children's paradise.

When the old man later found Xia Mi, she also repeated Wei Ji's behavior on the seesaw, pressing over one end and running to the other end......

Natsumi knew that she had been discovered, but maybe it was because the clothes she had just bought hadn't been taken away, or maybe the meal was too delicious, she still repeated the boy's childish behavior, and the two of them tacitly didn't speak.

"Come with me, I will help you find your relatives, and if you want to go, you can leave at any time."

……

After the old man said this, Xia Mi stayed in the city for four years inexplicably, and she left many times, but every time she came back, this room was still kept for her.

But Xia Mi still has to leave after all, how to dress up in such a room that is destined not to belong to her?

Bonds make people worry, and feelings are a person's biggest weakness.

Xia Mi looked out the window, and the stars outside the window were not real, but the moonlight shone on the girl's face, reverent like an angel.
