Puppy Only Has One Summer - Chapter 7
As soon as Ning Bei got home, he saw Ning Nan rolling on the sofa laughing so hard.
He turned a blind eye and walked into the bedroom with a cold face.
With a bang, the bedroom door closed.
Ning Nan was still on the sofa laughing until he couldn’t get up.
It was so wonderful, he had a great viewing of this scene on the second floor, and he planned to keep it carefully and take it out for recollection from time to time in the future.
Ning Bei, who was complacent one second that he was a puppy in Sweet Love, turned into a single dog known as the “brother next door” the next second.
Ning Nan has never seen such a quick reversal of face slap in his life.
But after laughing enough, Ning Nan still restrained the corners of his mouth and walked to the door of Ning Bei’s bedroom.
After all, he is a real brother, so comfort is still necessary.
He pushed open the door, and just as he was about to go in, he saw Ning Bei lying on his back on the floor like a stray dog.
With eyes empty, there is nothing to love.
Ning Nan frowned.
He knew that Ning Bei must be very sad now, but it really wouldn’t be like this, it’s outrageous.
Ning Nan walked to Ning Bei’s side, folded his arms and said, “Is this unbearable?”
Ning Bei didn’t respond.
Ning Nan looked at him: “Ren Nanxia is right, you are his neighbor’s younger brother.”
Ning Bei still didn’t respond.
Ning Nan chuckled: “If you want me to say, it’s because you didn’t put your attitude right. You like Nan Xia and run around her like a puppy, but you can’t ask others to give you feedback, right? .”
In his words, he accused Ning Beidao of kidnapping Nan Xia and had to give him feedback. Ning Bei could not bear this almost slanderous accusation:
“I didn’t ask her to give back, but…but…” Ning Bei almost choked up.
Seeing that he still didn’t give up, Ning Nan couldn’t help kicking him.
“But who told you not to be a human, but to be a dog. Can it be equal between people and dogs?”
Ning Bei heard these words in his ears, but couldn’t fully understand and agree with them.
But he probably understood that what Ning Nan meant was that there was no equality between him and Nan Xia, it was his wishful thinking and self-inflicted.
He deserved it.
Ning Bei closed his eyes silently, he felt that Ning Nan didn’t understand what happened between him and Nan Xia at all, but what happened just now, Ning Bei himself couldn’t understand.
After a while, only the voice said coldly: “Never again.”
Ning Nan chuckled, noncommittal.
“I wish you really understood.”
After he finished speaking, he was just about to lift his feet to leave the bedroom when he suddenly heard a very cheerful and soft cell phone ring.
Ning Nan remembered that Ning Bei’s cell phone ringtone had always been the most original electronic sound, and his doubts were slightly stained in his heart, and he immediately got the answer when he saw Ning Bei suddenly opened his eyes.
Alright, I’ve got an exclusive ringtone for them.
He stopped in his tracks to see how this Ning, who had just vowed not to be a dog, would choose.
Ning Bei lay on the ground and looked at Ning Nan’s fiery gaze, and his body held on for a second.
But only for one second.
In the next second, Ning Bei quickly got up from the ground and ran to the mobile phone on the bed.
Ning Nan followed him with puzzled eyes, Ning Bei pushed him to the door indifferently, and dropped a word:
“roll.”
Ning Nan: “…”
The bedroom door slammed shut, and Ning Bei sat down on the cold floor with the phone in hand. He seemed to have changed back to the old Ning Bei, Ning Bei who leaned against the door and silently listened to Nan Xia talking in the living room.
Even though Ning Bei had really spoken to Nan Xia at this moment, he still felt like he was in the past when he was here. There was a closed door between them, and he didn’t know how to get across.
But instinct overcame reason.
Ning Bei answered the phone.
“Xiao Bei, I won’t go to your house for dinner today.” Nan Xia said apologetically, “There is something wrong with the restaurant we reserved for our high school reunion, we have to go and have a look now.”
Ning Bei clearly heard her say “we”.
She is going with her high school classmate.
Ning Bei hung his head between his knees and closed his eyes.
He actually knew that he should have said “Got it”, and at most added “Be careful on the road”.
He should have ended this conversation.
But at some point, a clump of flames burst out in his heart, burning his heart, making him unable and unwilling to let go completely like this.
“Nan Xia.” He said.
The other end of the phone was obviously quiet for a moment, “What’s the matter, Xiao Bei.”
Ning Bei buried his eyes in the palm of his hand, he couldn’t see anything, so he seemed to be fearless.
“Let me go with you. We’ll eat outside at noon.”
“Then it might be a little late for dinner.”
“It’s okay, I’ll wait for you. I’ll go downstairs now.”
After Ning Bei finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
When he walked out of the bedroom, Ning Nan asked him where he was going. Ning Bei lowered his head to put on his shoes, and said in a deep voice, “Go out for dinner.”
Ning Nan was about to speak again when he suddenly saw Ning Bei look up at him: “Brother, I know.”
Ning Bei pocketed the keys and mobile phone, and said a second after pushing the door out, “This is the last time.”
When she went downstairs, Nan Xia was still talking to that boy. Ning Bei walked to Nan Xia’s side.
“Let’s go.”
Nan Xia was slightly taken aback.
She looked sideways at Ning Bei, under the bright sunlight, his face looked too fair, even pale.
He didn’t look at her when he spoke, but bent down slightly and looked at the ground in front of him.
The black eyelashes cast a shadow under the eyes, and the coldness could not be concealed in the voice.
“Xiao Bei, are you feeling well?” Nan Xia asked beside him.
Ning Bei turned his head to look at her, shook his head, and said nothing.
“It’s fine for Fade Chen and I to go, or I’ll go to your house for dinner tonight.” Nan Xia faintly sensed that Ning Bei was unhappy because of what happened just now, so she didn’t want Ning Bei to follow her like this.
Things seemed to be complicated by her.
Originally let it go, Nan Xia did find that she and Ning Bei were a little bit superior; but now she wants to stop the loss in time, and when she is not sure that she can give Ning Bei a clear response, keep a proper distance, but just tell him With the word “neighbor’s younger brother”, Ningbei has become what it is now.
Nan Xia’s eyes turned back to the front, she folded her arms unconsciously, and her complexion became serious.
She is different from Ning Bei.
It’s not that Nan Xia can’t accept falling in love with Ning Bei, but if she and Ning Bei are together now, then Nan Xia can only guarantee that she will only give three points of her true feelings, and the remaining seven points will depend on whether she gets along with her later. Harmonious and appropriate.
After all, she is not eighteen years old, not a child like Ning Bei who loses her mind when she is so hot.
In Nanxia’s world view, love is for trial and error, to determine whether the two parties are suitable. And if the final result is not satisfactory, there is no need to be too sad. After all, there was a happy time, and when we broke up, we should wish each other happiness peacefully and rationally.
And if the target is Ningbei.
Nan Xia silently turned her head and glanced at Ning Bei who was walking beside her, keeping Fade Chen far away.
He is like a flame.
Even though he was walking beside her with a cold expression and a silent expression, Nan Xia could clearly perceive that Ning Bei was a ball of flame.
And the flame can only burn indulgently, and completely extinguish it.
If he wants to love, he will not leave any room for it.
Nan Xia felt an unspeakable burning in her heart, but it was followed by cold vigilance.
She has to be cautious, she doesn’t want to hurt Ning Bei.
The three of them walked to the reserved restaurant very quickly. The boss came out and said that there were too many people ordering for the eleventh day, and accidentally wrote another table reservation to their day, and asked them if they could change the time slot.
Nan Xia and Chen Fei followed the boss inside to re-select the time, but Ning Bei said he was waiting for them outside the door.
Nan Xia asked him if he would come in and sit and wait, but Ning Bei was unwilling.
Annoyed for no reason in her heart, Nan Xia said patiently: “It’s hot outside, just sit on the sofa inside for a while, we’ll be there soon.”
Ning Bei still shook his head.
He is stubborn for no reason.
Nan Xia pursed her lips lightly, and then saw that there was not much traffic here, so she told him not to run around and be careful, and then turned around and went in.
When resetting the time with Fade Chen in the restaurant, Nan Xia was a little absent-minded.
Knowing that Ning Bei is also an adult, but nothing will happen if he waits outside for a while. But on the other hand, she also clearly felt that Ning Bei was angry.
He insisted on following her stubbornly, but he couldn’t hide the anger in his heart.
He could only punish himself in this way, but it also made Nan Xia feel uneasy.
In the restaurant, Fade Chen and Nan Xia called one by one to ask their classmates if the new time was suitable. When Nan Xia made the third call, she couldn’t sit still.
“I have something to do when I go out, I’ll be back later.” Nan Xia whispered in Fade Chen’s ear, then stood up and walked out.
Outside the transparent gate, there are only passing vehicles and pedestrians.
Nan Xia didn’t see Ning Bei for the first time, and immediately felt flustered. Three steps in two, pushed open the door, and shouted: “Ning Bei—”
Looking sideways, he saw Ning Bei who was standing under the shade of a tree not far away turned his head.
Under the dim shadow, his white T-shirt was blown up by the wind, outlining Ning Bei’s tall but slightly thin figure. The black bangs slightly covered the sharp single eyelid, making his gaze from a distance become somewhat distant.
Standing quietly at this moment, he did not run to her side like before.
Just stand far away.
Nan Xia’s heartbeat accelerated as if she lacked oxygen, and then she also felt a slight loss.
But she quickly adjusted.
“Is it hot?” She walked towards Ningbei, “Come in with me.”
Ning Bei still shook his head, “Are you alright?”
Nan Xia resisted the irritability in her heart: “No, it will take a while.”
“No.” He still stubbornly refused.
“Come in, it’s not safe for cars to come and go outside.”
“don’t want.”
The smile on Nan Xia’s face finally disappeared, she looked up at Ning Bei.
The wind passed between them, taking away the oxygen they needed to breathe.
The atmosphere became suffocating and one wanted to flee.
She asked clearly, “Ning Bei, are you punishing yourself or me?”
Ning Bei’s eyes fell, and Nan Xia’s nose was stained with a thin layer of sweat. At this moment, his eyes were no longer soft as before, but completely cold.
Ning Bei’s heart began to bleed, but he knew in his heart that this was also the last time.
“Punish myself,” he said.
“Then why did you follow here again?” Nan Xia asked him, “If you punish yourself, why do you have to follow, why do you have to make me feel so uncomfortable?”
Ning Bei was stunned for a moment, and then his heart began to hurt like a knife.
He didn’t do it on purpose, he didn’t mean to make Nan Xia feel uncomfortable.
He just instinctively wanted to stay by Nan Xia’s side, but he didn’t expect to make Nan Xia feel uncomfortable.
“…Why did you follow me?” Ning Bei repeated in a murmur.
In an instant, his eye sockets began to burn, and he could no longer look directly at Nan Xia.
Ning Bei lowered his head.
Almost instantly, Nan Xia regretted it.
Why is she angry with Ning Bei, what is she doing?
What kind of answer did Ning Bei hope to give her?
Nan Xia took a breath silently, and was about to calm down to comfort Ning Bei and apologize to him, but suddenly saw Ning Bei raised his head and looked at her again.
His gaze became very cold, and it seemed that he was fighting with his back.
The voice was slow and clear, and it rang in Nan Xia’s ears:
“Because I’m cheap.”
Nan Xia was stiff all over.
Ning Bei slowly approached Nan Xia, and said as if giving up on himself: “Why did I follow, why did you insist on following me when you clearly said that I was only the younger brother of the neighbor’s family? Nan Xia, didn’t I make it clear enough? I’m cheap, I’m just a dog beside you. When you waved, I ran over without a soul, but when you said you didn’t want me anymore, I didn’t even have the courage to turn around and leave. “
Ning Bei completely lost his mind, he became cold and hot all over.
The eye sockets couldn’t stop being red and hot, and her voice began to tremble: “Nan Xia, I don’t know why I followed here. I thought I was eighteen years old and could appear by your side, so I followed You tell me, when should I appear by your side? Seventeen, sixteen, fifteen or fourteen? I can’t appear when you have a boyfriend, and I can’t appear when I’m underage , then Nan Xia, tell me, when can I appear by your side, when can I be more than just a dog that you can come and go when you call it?”
Ning Bei’s voice was like a slap in Nan Xia’s heart, and she hardly dared to recall what he just said.
“…Seventeen years old, sixteen years old, fifteen years old…what do you mean?”
Ning Bei started to laugh softly, as if he didn’t care anymore.
“Every Spring Festival, you will come to my house to sit for a while. Last year, you told my parents that you performed very well this year, and the company won the highest year-end award. The year before last, you said that your new company was very competitive, but fortunately The colleagues are very friendly. The year before that, you were just about to graduate from university, and you asked Ningnan about finding a job for a long time, and the year before, you said that you would travel to Dali with your classmates during the winter vacation…”
The noise on the side of the road became far away, and Nan Xia forgot how long she hadn’t breathed again.
Ning Bei in front of him seemed to have become another person. He cut open his heart and spread it **** in front of her.
Tell her: Nanxia, this is the real Ningbei.
That Ning Bei who loved you for so many years but dared not say anything.
And now, if you want, you can easily destroy him.
“…Nan Xia, that’s it.” Ning Bei raised his hands to cover his eyes, and slowly backed away.
Then, he looked at Nan Xia again, “I’m leaving now, I won’t bother you again.”
Fade Chen’s voice also came from the door of the restaurant at this time: “Xia Xia, what’s wrong?”
Ning Bei turned around quickly, he never wanted to hear the voice of either Nan Xia or Fade Chen.
The howling wind passed by his ears, and he heard Nan Xia calling her name.
Ning Bei didn’t stop.
However, in the next second, he heard Nan Xia shouting behind him:
“puppy.”
His eye sockets became moist immediately, and the tears he held back became uncontrollable at the moment when his back was facing Nan Xia.
“Puppy.” Nan Xia ran to Ning Bei’s side and held his hand tightly.
Ning Bei stopped, but still refused to look back at her.
Nan Xia walked up to Ning Bei.
It was the first time she saw Ning Bei like this, the first time she saw Ning Bei talking loudly to her in such a “hysterical” way, and it was also the first time she knew the secret that Ning Bei had kept in his heart for so many years.
“Ning Bei.” Nan Xia called his name.
Ning Bei still lowered his head and refused to look at her.
Nan Xia held his head with both hands, and gently wiped the moisture from his eye sockets with her thumbs.
A kind of tenderness that is almost doting.
Ning Bei trembled all over, and looked at Nan Xia in disbelief.
It’s hard to say.
Nan Xia felt that not all actions must have the most logical reasons.
It was as if she had just decided not to give Ning Bei such hopeless expectations, but now, Nan Xia regretted it.
She gently rubbed Ning Bei’s cheek with her thumb.
He lowered his head, allowing all her movements.
“Puppy.” Nan Xia said softly.
Although Ning Bei didn’t respond aloud, his eyes were already looking forward to her next words.
“We go home.”
Ning Bei was stunned in place, and after a while, he said, “Fade Chen…”
“My sister doesn’t want to be a rational Nan Xia today.”
She slowly moved her fingers to Ning Bei’s lips, tracing his cool and soft lips.
It’s like asking, trying to figure out, more like an invitation.
The air became very quiet, and Nan Xia’s gaze boundlessly enveloped and melted Ning Bei.
The mouth opens naturally.
I sucked my sister’s finger.
Tongue and fingertips touch.
Ning Bei felt hot all over.
Then, I heard Nan Xia whispering:
“Puppy, take my sister home.”
