my summer

The ancients, with their transcendent wisdom, told us that under the premise of the right time, place, people and the support of the three parties, things can often be done.The story I want to tell next is inseparable from these three parties.

I have also introduced the structure of the tube building before. It is a long series of two rooms and balconies connected. In order to maintain the ventilation of each room, the door between the two rooms is basically not closed, especially when sleeping at night.

Moreover, the house was built relatively early, and the inner walls are only [-] centimeters thick, so the sound insulation effect can be imagined.

In addition, the two beds are placed against the left and right sides of the same wall, and the straight-line distance is only a short eighteen centimeters.

This can be counted as a geographical advantage, let's talk about the harmony of people.

In the eyes of Dad and Aunt Sun, Xia Zhi and I are still naive and ignorant children, our bodies have not yet begun to develop, so what can we understand.In addition, during the day, I tend to be quite tired from playing, running and making troubles without a break. If I don’t drink too much water or eat too much watermelon before going to bed at night, I can usually sleep until dawn.

What's more, they may be lucky, thinking that there will be more or less sound blocked by a wall, as long as they keep their voices quiet.Of course, just to be careful, they specially chose the time in the middle of the night.

With the blessing of the right location and the right people, it just happened to meet the right time.

The summer night was sweltering and hot, and a lucky fan was placed at the end of our bed and turned all night to barely fall asleep.One night, for some reason, the Hongyun Fan fell down and lay back on the bed, unable to exert its cooling effect.

So I woke up in the heat.

Presumably the smart ones have already guessed that such a favorable time and place combined with the harmony of people have perfectly contributed to one thing, that is, eavesdropping.

At that time, I just woke up, and my whole brain was still in a dazed state. I blinked my eyes several times before I could barely adapt to the darkness in the room.Fortunately, there was a faint light coming in through the window, so it would not be so completely dark.

I sat up and wanted to climb to the end of the bed to support the fan, when the movement in the next room attracted me.I held my breath and listened carefully. There were heavy breathing, restrained panting, and creaking at the foot of the bed. All the sounds were intertwined, like a declaration of some kind of hidden activity.

My first instinct was fear, the kind of fear that happens so close to the unknown.Then there is the irrepressible curiosity, the kind of curiosity about unknown things that can smell a hint of mystery.Then I felt even hotter all over, as if an unknown force was running around in my body, causing the blood to flow faster.

I sat there in a daze, not knowing what to do.After a while, I subconsciously turned my head to look at Xia Zhi.

He also woke up, looking at me with blinking eyes, his eyes were particularly bright in the darkness.He sat up, shoulder to shoulder with me, leaned close to my ear and asked almost out of breath, "Did you hear that too?"

My ears itched violently.But I was obviously not used to the itching, so I turned my face slightly and nodded.

He didn't speak any more.

The two of us sat side by side in the dark, quietly listening to all the sounds coming from the next door.After a while, the sound gradually stopped, and the next door returned to calm.

Xia Zhi and I looked at each other, lay down together, pulled the towel over our bodies, and remained motionless.

The wet clothes on my body suddenly reminded me that the fan has not been fixed yet.I was so excited that I wanted to get up again, Xia Zhi pressed my hand and asked softly, "What are you doing?"

His palms were also covered in sweat, hot and humid, and my hands seemed to be soaked in hot water.My heart was beating wildly, and it was not enough to describe it as a deer.

So I stayed still, lying straight, staring at the mosquito net above my head in a daze.

Xia Zhi didn't let go of her hand, and it was getting harder and harder.I turned my hand over with difficulty, facing his palm.Soon, we spread our fingers tacitly and clasped them tightly.

Maybe it was because I had just eavesdropped on a mysterious event, and I was still in a state of extreme excitement and tension. This intimate contact with Xia Zhi gave me an indescribable but unforgettable throbbing.

It seemed like a long, long time before I fell asleep again.The next day I simply stayed in bed and refused to get up. On the one hand, I was really sleepy, and on the other hand, I didn't know what expression to use to see my father and Aunt Sun.After all, I accidentally snooped on their invisible secret.

Xia Zhi should have gotten up on time, and after breakfast on time, said goodbye to Dad and Aunt Sun happily.Then he climbed onto the bed, patted my thigh, and said, "Yangyang, wake up, they are going to work."

"I'm sleepy, don't disturb me..." I whispered.

"Don't sleep, there is still homework to do!" He gestured to pull me up.

I followed his strength, lay on his body, put my head on his shoulder, and continued to doze off.He smiled helplessly, put his hands on my back, and gently put me back on the bed, "Okay, I'll give you an extra hour of sleep."

But I woke up naturally at the end of my sleep. I woke up and washed up slowly and had breakfast. It was almost 10:[-].The summer solstice has almost finished all the homework for the day.

I sat at the table blankly, staring at his moving nib, ready to wait for copying.

"Tell me," I said suddenly, "what were my father and your mother doing last night?"

Xia Zhi stopped writing, looked up at me, "I don't know the details..."

"Aren't you curious at all?" I asked.

"Curious..." he said, "I was so nervous at the time, I was afraid they would find out that we weren't sleeping..."

"How could it be possible?" I laughed. "Although I don't know what they are doing, I know that what they are doing must be shameful."

"Maybe..." He thought for a while, then raised his pen and tapped on my head, "You, it's better to ignore the affairs of adults, we don't understand anyway."

I giggled a few times, touched my head, and said, "Then you write it quickly, I can copy it when it's finished, today is the finale of the White Lady."

After that, I had the urge to snoop on it several times, but unfortunately I never had the chance.The lucky fan never fell down again, and I almost never woke up at night.Occasionally, when I was woken up by urinating several times, there was no movement in the next room.

Maybe the success of that night really took advantage of the right time, place and people.

As time passed, I gradually forgot the noise from the room next door that night, but some things were deeply engraved in my memory, and I will never forget them for a long time.

That inexplicable restlessness, Xia Zhi's hot and humid hands, and the tactile sensation and throbbing when they are tightly intertwined with his fingers.
