Chasing Summer - Chapter 69

At night, Lin Zhexia lay on the familiar bed, chatting with Chi Yao.

-Your dad gave me a red envelope, should I accept it?

Boyfriend: why not

– a little embarrassed

Boyfriend: accept

Boyfriend: Also, call us Dad

Lin Zhexia: …

Lin Zhexia was not as thick-skinned as him, even if she was beaten to death, she would not be able to yell out, so she finally sent a sentence: Thank you, Uncle Chi.

Chi Hanshan: You’re welcome

Chi Hanshan: If Chi Yao bullies you, just tell me, I’ll buy a bus ticket and beat him up

…

the other side.

Chi Yao slept in He Yang’s room, and He’s mother spread a quilt on the floor for him.

When he was a child, he would occasionally spend the night at He Yang’s house. The situation often happened when two people got together to play games and played too late. Two people will fight to get out of bed.

The layout of He Yang’s room is still the same. There is a poster of Slam Dunk hanging on the wall. The poster has been eroded by the years and is very old. It is yellow and the corners are warped. The desk by the window used to be full of books, but now it is empty, with a pile of groceries placed by He Ma.

He Yang went to bed early, squinting his eyes, and saw the light from the screen of the mobile phone under the bed: “You are not asleep yet.”

Chi Yao: “Chat with your girlfriend, you’re single, maybe you don’t understand.”

“…” He Yang woke up from his drowsiness because of his ridicule, “Fuck.”

He Yang: “I’m just concentrating on my studies now, it’s not that I can’t find a girlfriend.”

Chi Yao: “Really.”

He Yang: “Can your reaction be more perfunctory?”

Chi Yao: “Oh.”

Finally He Yang gave up: “Good night, brother.”

But Chi Yao didn’t want to let him continue to sleep, he raised his hand and pressed the power button on the side of the phone, the screen went out, and the only light in the whole room disappeared: “Hello.”

“Again, I have a name.”

He Yang turned over and said, “What do you want me to do?”

Chi Yao suddenly said, “When did you know?”

He Yang continued to play dumb: “What, what, what.”

Chi Yao: “Still pretending.”

“You didn’t play very well that day,” he added, “and you can only fool that fool.”

He didn’t realize it at first, after all, He Yang is usually offline.

But after thinking about it, he found that his reaction was far more exaggerated than Lin He’s, and it was a bit abnormal.

“…”

He Yang opened his eyes, and didn’t continue to hide from him: “The day you left, I accidentally opened the door and saw it.”

The situation is almost the same as what Chi Yao guessed.

To put it bluntly, He Yang was finally able to express his feelings that had been suppressed for more than a year. He sat up from the bed: “You said you were fine, why did you kiss her? Have you considered my feelings? Even if you want to kiss, can you Close the door and kiss again? Can you be more careful and don’t cause unnecessary trouble to your good brother. “

“Do you know how tiring it is for me to pretend I don’t know, and you have to make an official announcement in front of me!”

No wonder.

No wonder after more than a year of separation, He Yang often took the initiative to share Lin Zhexia’s recent situation with him.

For example, she was confessed by a classmate once, but she didn’t accept it.

…

Although he hasn’t responded to He Yang’s news, he has read every news about her.

“Thank you.” Chi Yao finally said.

He Yang was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: “Brother, it should be. Remember to help me pay attention to Lian University later. If there is a suitable girl, remember to introduce it to my brother. I plan to grab both schools.”

His answer was only two cold words from his brother’s mouth: “Good night.”

“…”

Lin Zhexia stayed at home for two days.

On the third day, she, Chi Yao, and He Yang had to rush back to school.

Before leaving, she packed her things in the room, and Chi Yao waited for her at the door.

“What to bring.”

“Bring some seasonal clothes,” Lin Zhexia said, “Sit down for a while, I’ll put them away right away.”

Chi Yao sat on the chair in front of her desk for a while, then stood up and wandered around her room. In the end, he probably was idle and bored, so he stood still in front of the bookcase, opened the glass door, and prepared to pick a book book to read.

Lin Zhexia, who was collecting things, felt a “thump” in his heart, trying to stop, his hand had already climbed onto the fairy tale book—

There are group photos and wishing cards in the book.

Although it was nothing to be seen by him, she still panicked.

She hadn’t figured out how to tell him.

“wait.”

She took out the fairy tale book first, “You can change to another one, I will take this one with me too.”

Chi Yao fumbled for nothing, paused his fingers, and landed on a book next to him: “How old are you, and you still have a book of fairy tales.”

Lin Zhexia: “I want you to take care of it.”

She hugged the book and stuffed it into the suitcase.

My heart said that I couldn’t say it before.

After becoming boyfriend and girlfriend, it seems that I can’t find the time to speak up.

That crush on him in high school was, to her, the most secretive secret of her girlhood.

After adapting to the learning rhythm of the university, the freshman year passed quickly.

The schoolwork became busy, and the two often made an appointment to do homework together in the library.

Lian University Library has five floors, two of which are study rooms.

On this day, the two made an appointment in advance, and Lin Zhexia went to help him occupy a seat.

The weather has gradually turned cold, and it is winter again in a blink of an eye.

When Chi Yao came, he brought her a cup of hot milk tea.

The self-study room cannot speak and needs to keep quiet, so Lin Zhexia bit the straw while writing two words “thank you” on the draft paper, followed by a big smiling face. After finishing writing, she handed the draft paper to opposite.

Chi Yao was checking the information, and with a pen between his fingers, he circled the “thank you” she wrote.

Note on the side: [Thank you. 】

Lin Zhexia wrote another line, then pushed the note back: [Thank you, brother]

After a while, the note was pushed back again.

[The name is not right, who wants to be your big brother]

The two of them had never been in the same class, and almost never passed notes like this.

She usually goes to Chi Yao’s home to do her homework, and if she has anything to say, she just says it face to face.

The only time the two of them passed a note in memory was when she had a cold war with Chi Yao after a fight.

She doesn’t remember the specific reason for the quarrel, but only remembers that she and Chi Yao were doing their homework face to face that day, but neither of them talked to anyone.

After half a day, she didn’t hold back, and stuffed a note.

Write on the note: I have a question and will not

With five simple words, Chi Yao took the initiative to ask her as if surrendering: “Which question.”

Thinking of this, Lin Zhexia boldly wrote a new sentence on the note: [Thank you brother]

Anyway… just writing.

Not really.

No need for her to say it.

But her four words were obvious, which disturbed Chi Yao’s concentration in checking the information.

And she found that this person who always wanted her to call her brother, actually fell into a very strange “shyness” after seeing the word “brother”. The pen in the boy’s hand was still spinning, then he suddenly put down the pen, raised his hand, and pulled up the zipper of his collar, covering half of his face with the collar, and leaned back on the back of the chair.

Lin Zhexia was a little embarrassed at first, seeing his reaction, thought it was a bit amusing, so he continued to write: [Why is my brother not talking anymore]

Chi Yao’s ear tips were a little hot.

There are people all around, and some people will look in their direction, but no one knows what they secretly wrote on the note.

Although he was usually calm when speaking to Lin Zhexia, he never thought that she would really use this title.

He secretly let out a breath, pinched his knuckles, pulled the note over and wrote: [Call me when you go out later]

Lin Zhexia: [I don’t want it]

The note was passed here and it was over, and the two of them concentrated on reading the study materials.

The study room is open 24 hours.

Before the exam, many people will come and stay up late to brush up the questions.

They wrote this day until evening and planned to pack up their things and go to the cafeteria for dinner. Before eating, Lin Zhexia received a message from Lan Xiaoxue: Are you there?

– yes , what ‘ s the matter

– We plan to travel around the weekend, do you want to come with Chi Yao?

-Reply to me quickly, I’m about to book a ticket.

It happened that Lin Zhexia was afraid that after Chi Yao went out, he would settle the account with her for passing the note just now, so he changed the subject as soon as he went out and said: “Xiaoxue asked us if we want to go on a trip together on weekends, saying that there is a famous scenic spot nearby. If so, stay there for the night.”

“Do you want to go?” Chi Yao asked her back.

Lin Zhexia thought for a while: “I don’t care if I go or not, but I heard that the place is very beautiful, especially in autumn and winter. My mother discussed it with Uncle Wei before and wanted to go…”

Chi Yao: “Then go.”

So Lin Zhexia replied to Lan Xiaoxue during the meal and said: I will go.

In the evening, the girls’ dormitory.

Lan Xiaoxue huddled under the quilt to make a travel strategy, and asked: “I’m booking a hotel, Qin Lei and I both want to live in a single room, she snores while sleeping, I can’t help it when I’m in the dormitory, I don’t want to suffer this again when I go out What about you? Shall I reserve a room for you?”

Although the two have been dating for more than half a semester, she is still not ready for such a thing as living together.

I always feel… hard to face.

Lin Zhexia hurriedly said, “No, I won’t live in the same room with him.”

Lan Xiaoxue thought she was afraid of what she would think: “It’s fine.”

Lin Zhexia: “… Really don’t need it.”

Lan Xiaoxue could tell that she really didn’t want to, so she said, “Okay, then four single rooms.”

Lan Xiaoxue’s plan was perfect, and there was nothing wrong with the hotel and the ticket, but at the weekend, Lin Zhexia followed Chi Yao out of the car, went into the hotel room to put good things, went out for a long time, and when she officially checked in at night, Halfway through the shower, I found that the bathroom water heater was broken.

Lin Zhexia was stunned for a while with the bubbles on her head that she didn’t have time to rinse: “…”

She changed her clothes in a hurry and called the front desk. The front desk replied, “I’m sorry for the guest, we will send someone to check it as soon as possible”, but the front desk said as soon as possible, and she waited for more than ten minutes without waiting for the maintenance personnel to come up.

She couldn’t continue to stand and wait with the foam on her head, so she called Lan Xiaoxue and the others again: “Are you in the room, I…”

Before Lin Zhexia finished speaking, a very noisy voice came from Lan Xiaoxue’s side.

“We’re still outside. There’s a night market here at night. You guys went back too early—what’s the matter?”

Lin Zhexia swallowed the rest of the words: “It’s nothing, I just want to ask when you will come back. It’s nothing, you can continue to play.”

After hanging up the phone, there was only one person left for her to call for help.

her boyfriend.

In fact, in terms of closeness, she should be the first to call Chi Yao.

But her current situation is a bit embarrassing, she doesn’t want to make a fool of herself in front of Chi Yao.

In addition to this reason, it is more that the shower is a bit too private… She is not ready at all.

It’s strange, the closer she is to Chi Yaoyue, the more she can’t let go of certain aspects.

five minutes later.

With wet hair on her head, Lin Zhexia was a little shivering from the cold, and knocked on Chi Yao’s door.

Chi Yao had just taken a shower, and when he opened the door, his hair was obviously just blown, and it was a bit messy. When he saw Lin Zhexia, he frowned subconsciously: “What’s the matter with you.”

Lin Zhexia supported her hair and said, “Unlucky, the water heater broke in the middle of washing.”

The latter sentence was a bit difficult for her to say: “So can I… borrow your bathroom.”
