On the way back, Yao Yao was probably tired and fell asleep on the seat, making a slight breathing sound. Liu Zhixi took out a coat from her bag and put it on Yao Yao, in order to make her sleep more comfortable, Su Huai lent her a shoulder for the first time. Liu Zhixi saw Yao Yao quietly open her eyes and hook the corners of her mouth with a wicked smile, she understood and returned a knowing smile.
After a three-hour drive, they rushed back to school, and the dinner served in the cafeteria today was rich, with fried steak and fruit salad. Liu Zhixi had the foundation of the last time she was in Thailand, and after Su Huai's patient guidance, she quickly used the knife and fork well. Yao Yao frowned on the side, as if thinking about something.
A rapid mobile phone ringtone broke the silence, Su Huai opened the call interface, his face suddenly became serious, his voice was a little trembling, with a rare cry. After the phone call ended, Liu Zhixi asked him for details with concern, his face was like ashes, and he shook his head helplessly, "My grandma, she, she is critically ill." I've got to go back right now. ”
After finishing speaking, he immediately got up and went to Mr. Chu to approve the leave. Before leaving, when Su Huai was sitting in the waiting hall of the Capital Airport, after thinking about it, he sent Liu Zhixi a micro-reminder of many matters that she needed to pay attention to, and told her the details of her life. Liu Zhixi replied to him with a hug and a smiling expression, and his bitter heart was like a rain of water, and finally there was a hint of sweetness and comfort.
He looked at Liu Zhixi's avatar for a long time, it was the well-known Japanese cartoon protagonist Maruko, next to her mother, and the picture had two big characters written "So Warm". Since he was a child, he had a happy and pampered family, but he couldn't understand Liu Zhixi's experience, and he wouldn't understand how much she longed for love, just like a person in brocade clothes complaining about the poor taste of the dishes, but he didn't think of how envious those begging people were.
The next morning, Liu Zhixi got up early as usual, and she always went for a jog on the playground before going to morning reading. When she returned to the dormitory after buying breakfast, Yao Yao was still lying in the bed, making a slight humming sound, like babbling, and like talking nonsense. Her face was flushed, revealing a sickly beauty, as if she had applied blush, but she had rubbed the fat powder too brightly.
Liu Zhixi felt that something was wrong with the situation, and reached out and touched her forehead, which was actually hot, like a scorching fireball. Liu Zhixi rummaged through the cabinets in a panic, but did not find the antipyretics. Yao Yao no longer hummed, but called vigorously, "Su Huai, Su Huai." "This infatuated silly girl." Liu Zhixi looked at her, and there was nothing she could do. She had no choice but to go out in a hurry and ask Teacher Chu for leave.
The morning light is like a golden veil, enveloping the world, and from time to time you can hear the birds "chirping" and singing. The breeze gently lifted Liu Zhixi's bangs, her black hair was like a waterfall, she had no intention of enjoying the scenery as usual, and hurriedly walked towards the faculty dormitory. Xu Haoran returned from morning exercise, he was wearing black headphones, I don't know if he was practicing English listening or listening to songs, he saw Liu Zhixi looking anxious, and called her softly. Liu Zhixi was anxious and briefly told him about Yao Yao's situation. After speaking, his brows furrowed tightly, and he said without hesitation, "Go, I'll go with you."
They didn't meet Teacher Chu, and his mobile phone was turned off for some reason, so they had to take Yao Yao to the hospital by themselves. After a while, the taxi contacted by Xu Haoran stopped at the gate of the school, and he and Liu Zhixi carefully helped Yao Yao into the saddle. The summer wind was hot and dry, and it made people upset, Liu Zhixi looked out the window, the fingers of her two hands were repeatedly intertwined, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her head. Yao Yao was groggy and kept calling "Su Huai, Su Huai", Xu Haoran and they urged the driver all the way, but they were still helpless on the blocked road.
After a bumpy journey, they finally arrived at their destination, Xu Haoran skillfully took the number, queued up, registered, and arranged everything in an orderly manner like a little adult. After settling Yao Yao, in order to save money, they took the bus back to school, because there was no direct bus, they had to get off the bus and then walk. The sky is a little darker, the night breeze is cooler, and because it is a suburb, there are no pedestrians on the road. The laurel tree on the side of the road exudes a rich fragrance, Liu Zhixi took a deep breath, and suddenly felt refreshing and refreshed, she couldn't help but pluck a small petal and put it on the tip of her nose to sniff.
Xu Haoran told Liu Zhixi that there is a peach tree in front of his house, and bees and butterflies swarm every spring. His mother left this spring, which is the season when the peach blossoms are at their peak. When his mother was hospitalized, his father was working outside the home, and the burden of taking care of his mother fell on his shoulders alone, so he was very familiar with the hospitalization process in the hospital.
At the last moment of his mother's life, the peach blossoms he had newly picked from the tree were planted everywhere in the house, hoping that there would be more life and vitality in this home shrouded in illness and death. After his mother left, he was depressed for a while, and his previous excellent academic performance plummeted. He was obsessed with computers and online games, fiddling with the computers at home whenever he had time, and had no intention of doing anything else.
Seeing him like this, his father was anxious and sad, and finally saved a sum of money from his salary on Weibo and asked him to come to Beijing to participate in an English summer camp, just so that he could relax. Liu Zhixi looked at the immature young man beside him, he had shouldered so much pain and responsibility on his shoulders at a young age, but his expression was still sunny and calm, and his eyes were calm and flashing with wisdom.
Liu Zhixi couldn't help but think of her own life experience again, the classmates in the summer camp looked at her expensive clothes and high-end school supplies, and thought that her family background was good, but how many people knew the truth behind it? She couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for Xu Haoran.
It was getting dark, and suddenly, a noisy noise came out of place, and several young men dressed in fashionable and tacky clothes were on the side of the road, smiling and raining down their fists on a weak boy, and they kicked the boy in the abdomen so hard that the boy could not bear it and begged for mercy. But instead of relenting, they laughed arrogantly, as if they were watching a clown's undignified performance.
Seeing this, Xu Haoran took out his mobile phone and prepared to secretly call the police, but was discovered by a man with dyed yellow hair. He viciously snatched Xu Haoran's mobile phone, slammed it on the ground, and shouted: "Don't die!" Have a finger in the pie! I want you to look good! As he spoke, he kicked Xu Haoran on the leg and stomach, and Xu Haoran fell to his knees.
Liu Zhixi was busy helping Su Huai, Huang Mao squinted his eyes, looked Liu Zhixi up and down, had evil intentions, smashed his mouth, approached Liu Zhixi step by step, and cynically teased Liu Zhixi with an authentic Beijing accent. Xu Haoran got up from the ground, pulled Liu Zhixi and ran immediately, but the bad young people didn't catch up, only heard Huang Mao shouting behind him: "It's useless to run, I know which school you are from, just wait." ”
The wind whistled through, and they did not dare to stop, and ran all the way to the school. "It's finally safe." They were out of breath and had a sense of happiness for the rest of their lives, but at this time, Liu Zhixi found out that his student card had been accidentally lost.
Back in the dormitory, Liu Zhixi lay on the bed, looking at the empty dormitory, there was an inexplicable sense of loss, very unaccustomed. In the past, when Yao Yao was there, although she was often cooking porridge on the phone, Liu Zhixi felt that this porridge tasted good, but now her stomach was empty and hungry.
She opened her kindle, her slender fingers sliding across the page, but she couldn't see anything. The phone rang suddenly, it was an unfamiliar number, she clicked in to take a look, and was so shocked that she threw the phone aside, it turned out to be the yellow hair this evening. Liu Zhixi's heart was uneasy, she was distracted, she looked at the message repeatedly, panicked, she dialed Su Huai's phone, but hung up after the "beep" sound.
Su Huai immediately called, she suppressed her panic, and tried her best to reply lightly as usual, Su Huai probably felt her strangeness, and asked with concern, she smiled reluctantly and prevaricated. Hanging up the phone, she had a sense of the world spinning, as if the world was turned upside down, and in a daze, she gradually fell asleep.
Dreams, once again, invaded her mind, the screeching sound of brakes, explosions, and roars filled her ears, and she cried helplessly, her body covered in bright red blood. The silence fell silent, but there was no response, the sea water soaked into her lungs, she could not breathe, she could not hear any sound, only felt that her lungs were about to explode, and her ears were so painful from the pressure that it was like suffering in purgatory.
Suddenly, a big hand became her life-saving straw, and her consciousness gradually woke up, and she opened her eyes to find that everything was a dream, and the pillow was already wet with sweat and tears.
She thought of Leng Jiang, the boy who had saved her life and always exuded charming charm, lent her shoulder when she was sad and cried, gave her warmth when she was lonely and cold, at this moment, she missed him so much, but she didn't know where he was, and even life and death were uncertain.
There was another message prompt, her hands trembled a little, and she swiped the screen to see that it was Yao Yao. Yao Yao sent her a hugging expression, her attention shifted, and her anxiety was reduced a lot. After making sure that Yao Yao was safe and sound, she replied with a triumphant gesture and told Yao Yao to pick her up and discharge her from the hospital tomorrow.
Yao Yao made an expression of "embarrassment", stuck out her tongue and asked her mischievously, "I didn't say anything that shouldn't have been said yesterday, right?" Liu Zhixi deliberately made a mysterious look, "What do you say", Yao Yao smashed Liu Zhixi with a hammer and sighed: "Keep it secret." Liu Zhixi pouted: "It depends on how you buy me." The two of you say a word to me, and laugh constantly.
Sitting on the flight to Beijing, Su Huai had mixed feelings in his heart, both in memory of his grandmother and pity for Liu Zhixi. Although his growth environment is different from Liu Zhixi, his friendship with his grandmother is very deep, and he feels that he can empathize with Liu Zhixi's experience.
He looked out the window at the clouds and remembered that when he went to Thailand with Liu Zhixi, happy memories came to his mind, but the beginning of joy was always too hurried, and the sadness and regret that followed were unexpected. He tried not to think about the disturbing things, closed his eyes tightly, and leaned back comfortably in his chair.
The headphones are playing Lin Junjie's "Endless Road", Liu Zhixi seems to have a soft spot for this song, often single loops, Lin Tianwang's unique voice with affectionate interpretation, so that this song has a different kind of feelings, whether it is sad or happy, but also opinion.
Coming out of the airport, Su Huai took a taxi to the campus, there was still a needle in his heart, stinging him, making him unable to forget the grief of his grandmother's death, but the tip of the needle provoked the most sensitive nerves on his skin, making him feel pity and anticipation for the Liu Zhixi he was about to see. He knew that Liu Zhixi would not need his mercy, and if she did, things would not have turned out the way they were.
He didn't understand whether Liu Zhixi needed his love, because his love was still so ignorant and fragile, but one thing he was sure of was that Su Huai, he couldn't wait to see Liu Zhixi.
The taxi arrived at the summer camp campus, and Su Huai saw two girls standing at the door from a distance, one wearing a white dress, simple and elegant, and the other wearing a red dress with exquisite makeup. He didn't have to look carefully to know that the one in the white dress was Liu Zhixi, and the one in the red dress was Yao Yao. Liu Zhixi stood on the side of the road, white as jade, dusty, like a gardenia blooming quietly, with a charming smile on her pale face.
Yao Yao saw Su Huai, the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, the arc was just right, and her big flickering eyes couldn't hide her excitement and excitement, and she threw a passionate gaze. Su Huai paused, deliberately avoiding the scorching fire, and looked at Liu Zhixi. Liu Zhixi sensitively sensed Su Huai's eyes, and Yao Yao also realized his indifference, and his delicate red lips suddenly lost their color, and their eyes were like torches, like the night when a meteor fell.
Su Huai stretched out his long arm and grabbed Liu Zhixi, but Liu Zhixi dodged it cleverly and without a trace. She stared at Su Huai, the young man in front of her, full of spirit, warm as jade, and his eyes were red, he must have been very sad because of his grandmother's death. But when his eyes fell on her, Liu Zhixi could clearly feel the emotion like fire, and her cold heart couldn't help but melt.
But she couldn't let go, she couldn't let go of her feelings for Leng Jiang, she couldn't forget, she couldn't forget the fact that Su Huai's father killed her grandmother who depended on her for her life. She has hatred in her heart, hates the injustice of fate, hates God for being ruthless, if it is still the past, how good it would be if everything did not happen, so that she still loves Su Huai, she sets off towards hope every day and runs towards happiness.
Su Huai's hand stopped in mid-air, and then fell awkwardly, Yao Yao came back to her senses at this time, looking at them strangely, her expression was quite meaningful. Liu Zhixi patted Yao Yao, broke the slightly embarrassing atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Isn't it, it's like three autumns if you don't see each other for a day?" Yao Yao rolled her eyes and pulled Su Huai to the campus with great interest, Su Huai responded politely and politely, but refused to move her pace.
Liu Zhixi relieved the siege and said, "Su Huai, don't you like to drink soy milk in the canteen the most?" Yao Yao got up early today and bought you two cups, why don't you hurry up and try them? Yao Yao was stunned, "I didn't buy soy milk today." Liu Zhixi glared angrily, Yao Yao reacted, turned around and smiled gratefully at her.
When she returned to the dormitory in the evening, Liu Zhixi was racking her brains to write a diary again, Yao Yao saw this, took out her mobile phone, and sent her a lot of links. Liu Zhixi heard the sound of the mobile phone prompt several times, thinking that Yao Yao was pranking and sending her some funny jokes, and said to Yao Yao while biting the pen, "I'm annoyed, no inspiration, don't send it." ”
Yao Yao combed her long black brocade-like hair while chewing gum and replied, "You click on it and you'll know." Liu Zhixi simply clicked on the link, which is Yao Yao's literary works published on various public accounts, including intriguing novels, beautiful and timeless prose, and inspiring poems.
Liu Zhixi carefully turned the pages one by one, and couldn't help but be amazed, she sincerely praised, "My dear, it turns out that you are so literate!" Yao Yao deliberately pretended to be shy, and Liu Zhixi smiled.
Yao Yao took out a light blue suspender dress from the wardrobe, put it on, gestured in front of the mirror, and asked Liu Zhixi wistfully, "How is it?" Is it good-looking? Liu Zhixi looked at the skirt, the color was very positive, like the blue sky in the south in autumn, which set off Yao Yao's skin more fair, and the design of the waist highlighted the grace and charm of her small waist, although the chest with a low neck was a little mature and sexy that did not fit her age, but the hem of the cake layer added a lot of youthful vitality to her, and the diamonds embellished with the skirt made her more dazzling.
Liu Zhixi stared at her intently and sighed, "It's so beautiful." The corners of Yao Yao's eyes were crooked, "You say, I wear this on my birthday, will he like it?" Liu Zhixi blurted out, "Definitely!" Yao Yao looked happy, but Liu Zhixi felt some sympathy for this girl in her heart, and she didn't know why.
Yao Yao is a beautiful and sweet person, with excellent grades and a good family background, she is the heart and soul of her parents and teachers, Liu Zhixi feels that such a girl should be worthy of her envy, but she actually has a sense of pity.
Liu Zhixi buried her head and continued to write in her diary, the conversation with Yao Yao just now kept echoing in her mind. Yao Yao is very beautiful, but she can't guarantee that Su Huai will like her, Yao Yao is like a fire, passionate, unrestrained, in full swing, radiant, if you fall in love with her, you will either live forever or be destroyed.
And Su Huai is like a river of water, with affection and veins, flowing slowly, it will be dried and evaporated by the fire, but when the wind rises, it will be overwhelming and affectionate. Liu Zhixi didn't know if she was Su Huai's wind, she used to hope that she was, and hoped that she could play a symphony of wind and rain with him, but now she was afraid that she was, because Su Huai's tide had wet her mind.
She doesn't know if Lin Sujin is, in her opinion, Lin Sujin is very much like a fish in the river, free and easy, although no one can see the tears shed, but she lives in the hearts of some people.
