23 days before Christmas

As soon as he entered the school gate, Liu Yiming suddenly asked, "When will you take the physical examination?"

"Physical test?" Lin Zhixi thought for a while and said, "Next Tuesday afternoon?"

"It's next Wednesday morning." Liu Yiming frowned, "I'm so flustered..."

Lin Zhixi squeezed the hand on his shoulder, and asked knowingly, "What are you panicking about?"

"800 meters, although it doesn't sound particularly scary...but if you want to pass it, it's very...my physical strength has never been very good, and there are pull-ups and the like. I'm afraid I won't pass." Liu Yiming sighed, "Aren't you panicking at all? You don't look like a good sportsman..."

Lin Zhixi increased the strength of her hands, and said with a smirk: "How did you see that?"

Liu Yiming suddenly retreated behind Lin Zhixi, grabbed his waist with both hands, and said with a smile, "Based on this."

Then he walked up and pinched his "slender" arm: "Based on this."

Lin Zhixi suddenly turned around and hugged him forcefully, pretending to be vicious: "You are getting bolder..."

Liu Yiming didn't hesitate at all: "Isn't it? You have thin arms and legs, I have more muscles than you."

"Oh?" Lin Zhixi was not convinced, "I haven't felt it at all."

"Cut." Liu Yiming rolled his eyes, "You can choose to ignore it."

Lin Zhixi suddenly grabbed Liu Yiming's hand tightly, and ran away before he could react.

Anyway, it was Friday night, which was a bit abnormal. There were only a few passersby in twos and threes on the campus before ten o'clock.The street lights were dim, and the night wind picked up. Lin Zhixi dragged Liu Yiming to run on the asphalt road around the school.Lin Zhixi's long legs really wronged him. He followed Liu Yiming and forcibly locked his steps and controlled his speed.From time to time, Lin Zhixi would turn her head to look at Liu Yiming once or twice, with a smile on her lips, holding her hand tightly, but she didn't relax at all.

During the whole process, Liu Yiming's mind was blank. It was only after Lin Zhixi gradually stopped that he regained his ability to think—"Is this guy sick? Why are you pulling me away?"

Liu Yiming was out of breath, and directly asked the question that bothered him: "What do you mean by this? Run, what are you running for? Are you exercising at night?"

"Seeing that you have gained weight recently, can't I help you exercise your body?" Lin Zhixi was not out of breath, but her face was slightly flushed, compared to Liu Yiming, she was not so embarrassed.

Lin Zhixi looked at him with a slight smile, and took a tissue from his pocket to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead——Liu Yiming suddenly remembered the first time they met, and couldn't help but startled.

Liu Yiming pinched his waist: "How can I gain weight! You can't tell me before you exercise? I'm not prepared at all."

"That's the effect you want." Lin Zhixi looked at him and shook her head, "It seems that your physical strength is really not very good."

Liu Yiming reacted for three seconds, then frowned: "You've gone too far..."

"We haven't tried it yet, and you actually said that I'm not physically strong!" Liu Yiming put his hand on his shoulder.

Lin Zhixi snorted coldly: "Didn't it be detected just now? Just like this, you are still out of breath, alas..."

"No way!"

"Oh, I'm so miserable..."

"What's wrong with you?"

"That's right, you should be miserable. I'm sorry, you are miserable."

"Are you sick!"

"You have the disease!"

......

On Tuesday afternoon, Liu Yiming came out of the teaching building after class, and the first thing he did was to ask Lin Zhixi about the physical test: "How is it? Are you okay? Are you healthy? Is the physical test teacher strict? Can you pass?" ?”

It should be around dinner time, but Lin Zhixi hasn't returned to him yet, and Liu Yiming doesn't know where to go for a while.

After walking around downstairs for about 10 minutes, Lin Zhixi returned to him: "I'm in the gymnasium now, I just came out."

"Let's go out to eat."

"Come and find me."

Liu Yiming quickly replied: "Okay."

I ran all the way to the gymnasium, and saw Lin Zhixi in a purple sweater from a distance, with a padded jacket on her hand, walking towards this side.

"Hey!" Liu Yiming was inexplicably excited, and hurriedly waved to Lin Zhixi who was a few meters away, wishing he could jump directly.

"Let's go." Lin Zhixi looked like she had just finished a strenuous exercise, but she was not at all embarrassed, she didn't even pant, and walked over with a smile, "What do you want to eat?"

"I remember there's a store over there that makes braised noodles, and it looks pretty good."

Lin Zhixi nodded: "I remember that family. Let's go."

Just before she lifted her foot and took two steps, Lin Zhixi's cell phone rang.

"Our monitor?" Lin Zhixi answered the phone.

Liu Yiming stood aside and looked at him stupidly, and then heard—"Is he in the gymnasium now?", "Where is the gymnasium?", "Okay, I'll go and have a look.", "Send him back to the dormitory? ","good."

Liu Yiming panicked inexplicably.

What is this for?

Lin Zhixi frowned slightly, a little embarrassed: "My roommate may not be feeling well, and he is alone in the gymnasium. Then our monitor called me and asked me to take him back to the dormitory. Sorry baby, I may... ..."

Liu Yiming raised his hand very sensiblely: "It's okay, you go. I'll wait for you here, and I'll wait for you right here."

Lin Zhixi's eyes were inexplicably dizzy with a little disappointment, she just nodded, with a smile from the corner of her mouth: "That's good. You wait here for me, I'll be back soon."

"Yeah." Liu Yiming pinched his face, with a slight bit of reluctance, "Let's go."

"You just wait here for me!" After saying this, Lin Zhixi turned around and looked back at Liu Yiming with great reluctance, before running into the gymnasium.

When Liu Yiming saw that figure that was gradually going away, the sense of loss came slowly and swept his whole body.Under the shock of powerlessness, Liu Yiming directly lowered his head and squatted on the side of the road, like a kitten abandoned by the trash can at night in winter (not...).

Liu Yiming wrapped his down jacket tightly, took out his mobile phone and flicked carelessly, and ran around with several apps but couldn't see anything.

Lin Zhixi called: "Baby, you may have to wait for me for a while, and I have to buy him some water..."

Hearing the voice from the other end of the phone, Liu Yiming couldn't help panting heavily. He only tried to make his voice smile: "It's okay. I'll wait for you."

"Well! I'll do it as soon as possible!"

"I'll wait for you right here."

Then Lin Zhixi hung up the phone.

Liu Yiming continued to squat on the side of the road, blowing the cold wind, and continued to feel lost, more and more lost.

I don't know how long he waited in the cold wind, but Liu Yiming felt that he was about to become a specimen. He tried his best to curl up into a ball, and only a few fingers were exposed, and he flicked on the phone screen.His stomach also started to growl. Liu Yiming always felt that he was a very impatient and bad-tempered person. What happened today?Too hungry to be angry?

Liu Yiming's legs were numb from squatting, he got up and looked in the direction where Lin Zhixi left, but he still didn't come back.

What is this guy doing!

After walking around the streetlight several times, Liu Yiming sighed and continued to squat on the side of the road and wait.

For some reason, his heart was in a panic, Liu Yiming glanced over there, but he still didn't come, and it was hard to ask.He simply turned off the phone, hugged his knees and closed his eyes.

"Liu Yiming!"

He raised his head quickly and saw that familiar figure running towards him, his heart skipped a beat, his legs were sore and numb when he got up, he almost fell down.

Suddenly there was a sour taste in his nostrils, and a tear came out of the corner of his eye. He quickly raised his hand to wipe it away, walked up to him in two or three steps, and stretched out his hand to wrap around Lin Zhixi's waist—if it wasn't for coming and going There were so many passers-by, he really wanted to hug him tightly, just stand where he was, and do nothing.

"Wait for a long time." Lin Zhixi was still breathing, her voice was as gentle as water, which made him want to cry.

Liu Yiming grinned, "It's okay."

"Your hands are so cold." Lin Zhixi frowned, eyes full of shame.

"The feet are cold too." Liu Yiming bit his lips, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"I can't help my feet..." Lin Zhixi handed him the padded jacket, "But I can still cover my hands."

Liu Yiming took the coat, and suddenly the familiar smell filled his nostrils, all the emotions just now were completely calm at this moment, it was so miraculous.With both hands stretched into the sleeves, he looked up at him: "Aren't you cold? Your sweater isn't very thick..."

"I just ran here, and my body is very hot. If you don't believe me, touch it..." Lin Zhixi reached into one of the sleeves and squeezed it hard—under the large black cotton jacket, the two fingers Buckle up and hold each other tightly.

Liu Yiming's eyes widened, and then he smiled, responding to him in that sleeve.

"You, your hands are so warm." Liu Yiming blushed.

"You said that your hands and feet are cold in winter, if I don't keep warm, how can I warm you up?" Lin Zhixi tickled her fingers slightly, "Are you hungry?"

Liu Yiming pushed his elbow lightly: "I'm so hungry!"

"Let's go then."

For some reason, in the long years to come, Liu Yiming would often think of this night.With the biting cold wind enveloping her body, the dim light of the street lamps, the soft touch of the black padded jacket, and the reassuringly familiar smell, the warmth gradually radiated from Lin Zhixi's palms, and the warm and salty noodles full of ingredients Xiang, and Lin Zhixi's rare desire to drink milk tea... All the elements that made up that night were deeply imprinted in Liu Yiming's mind, and they suddenly popped up at an unknown moment in the future. There were ripples in my heart.

From the very beginning, Liu Yiming didn't treat this as a relationship, because this period will always come to an end.What he wanted was to go on with Lin Zhixi forever.At the beginning, he was unprepared, and all the responses to Lin Zhixi were products of not using his brain, but now, he gradually understands how to deal with this heavy feeling, how to deal with the person he can call "Love" boys.

He finally understood, and hoped that Lin Zhixi was still waiting for him.
