23 days before Christmas

The welcome party is approaching day by day, and the rehearsal of club programs is getting more and more tense.

Liu Yiming's daily life is extremely fulfilling. He goes to class when he has classes, knits scarves and reads and reviews when he doesn't have classes. He rehearses half of the seven nights a week.

Not as embarrassing as imagined, Lin Zhixi always kept a distance from him, whether it was intentional or unintentional, it always made Liu Yiming feel a little lost, inexplicably full of disappointment.

Although every time I look at him, my heart feels like a knife is going out, but I can't help but raise my eyes, pretending to glance in that direction casually.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but at a certain moment, no, it was many moments when he felt Lin Zhixi's eyes approaching him, his heartbeat accelerated, and a blush appeared on his cheeks——Liu Yiming turned his head away in a hurry, his heart was agitated There are some inexplicable emotions, and they are in a mess.

He was absent-minded throughout the rehearsal, but fortunately no one noticed his strangeness.

"Next Monday will be the welcome party." The senior sister looked at them very seriously, "Our rehearsals are already very good, and the second and third trials have been given high marks. Everyone should have confidence, the effect of our program is really good. It’s great. On Saturday, I will pick out clothes, and then I will post my size in the group, and I will send you pictures for you to order. Everyone has a day off on Sunday, and on Monday morning, I will go to the studio at [-] o’clock to participate in the rehearsal.”

Liu Yiming silently memorized what the senior said, and suddenly heard Lin Zhixi ask, "Sister, I have a question."

Liu Yiming's heart twitched as the familiar voice brushed past his ears.

"what is the problem?"

"When will you buy that flower?"

The senior sister thought for a while, and said: "On Monday morning, we were notified to gather at nine o'clock for the rehearsal. The program of our club is relatively late, so you and Liu Yiming will go to buy flowers first, and it's okay to come later, ten o'clock Before."

In fact, the rose is not necessary, but a prop that is the icing on the cake.Liu Yiming felt depressed and uncomfortable, he thought that Lin Zhixi didn't want that rose at all.

Senior sister turned to look at Liu Yiming, Liu Yiming nodded quickly: "Okay."

Liu Yiming glanced at Lin Zhixi quickly, his expression was calm and no waves could be seen.

After the rehearsal, Liu Yiming left quickly, thinking of Lin Zhixi in his heart, but resisting the urge to look at him again.When I returned to the dormitory, my face was flushed, my heart was beating in a panic, and my whole body was trembling uncontrollably. I sat on the chair for 3 minutes, then took out the scarf that was half knitted, and continued to knit.

"Are you still knitting?" The roommate came over holding a water glass to see how hard he was knitting, and couldn't help but say, "Who are you knitting for?"

Liu Yiming bit his lip and laughed awkwardly: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha..."

"Amazing."

"How can hahahahaha..."

It was already 11:30 when Liu Yiming went to bed. He had a very fulfilling day and soon fell asleep.

On Monday, the welcome party, two days after breaking up No.20, two days before Christmas.

When Liu Yiming opened his eyes, he glanced at the time to calculate, and sneered secretly in his heart, it's been so long, time flies so fast.

The first ten days after the breakup were the hardest. I couldn't sleep all night long, crying non-stop at the photos of the two of them together and the screenshots of the news.He couldn't resist looking for Lin Zhixi, but after Lin Zhixi responded several times, he never talked to him again—he would never forget Lin Zhixi's determination, and he just felt powerless about it.

Right now, he just wants to finish knitting the scarf and give it to Lin Zhixi on Christmas Day. Maybe, he should put it down by then.

I will let it go.

Yes, I will.

Did he let go?

He let it go.

Today, he is going to buy flowers with Lin Zhixi.

He doesn't have Lin Zhixi's contact information, it's 08:30 now.

Perhaps, he is going to buy flowers, but he won't be with me.

"ThatIshouldh**eboughtyouflowerandheldyourhand..." This sentence sounded in his mind for no reason, his heart sank, he clicked on the music software with trembling hands, put on the headphones, and pressed "single loop".

After washing up, he was a little at a loss, and he was too embarrassed to ask his senior sister, she was very busy today.

Then I'll go buy it myself.

It was 45:[-] at the moment, Liu Yiming went out, and the scene he saw when he raised his eyes made his heart beat faster - that familiar figure, in that familiar posture, was waiting for him in that familiar place... Or maybe it wasn't him.

When was the last time he was here waiting for him?

More than 20 days ago.

He suspected that it was his hallucination, and even rubbed his eyes, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his heart was about to jump out.

Liu Yiming was even more at a loss. He stopped, pursed his lips, and looked at Lin Zhixi, but he didn't dare to look directly.

Accident?But it's not that surprising.

Liu Yiming was a little excited, but he was more helpless and embarrassed.

The two stalemate in the aisle for half a minute.

Just when Liu Yiming was about to say something, Lin Zhixi said, "Let's go."

"En." Liu Yiming hummed softly from his nasal cavity.

It's been a long time since I walked side by side like this, and Liu Yiming's heart rate never dropped, this feeling was like Ling Chi, and every cell in his body was extremely uncomfortable.

Kill me!

Such a thought burst into Liu Yiming's mind.

"There are quite a lot of flower shops outside the school." Lin Zhixi's voice was light, scattered in the wind, "Let's go there by bicycle."

This is probably the most embarrassing thing in the world, not to mention he hasn't let it go yet.

Lin Zhixi took out her phone to check the navigation——Liu Yiming noticed that the phone case was their couple's phone case, and he hadn't changed it yet.He touched the mobile phone in his pocket, and I didn't take off the frosted touch.

He suddenly had hope.

No, you can't.

He just wanted to cry, the sour taste surging in his nostrils almost forced the tears out.

He couldn't cry, he had to hold back, he clenched his lips tightly.

After scanning the QR code and getting on the car, Lin Zhixi rode in front, and Liu Yiming followed—this kind of scene also happened when they were passionately in love. , In the end, they all looked at each other with a smile and moved forward side by side.

Today's words...

Lin Zhixi rode slowly in front, and Liu Yiming also slowed down and followed behind, not daring to ride faster at all, it was too embarrassing.

"Ride faster." Lin Zhixi's voice was cold, passing by her ears with the wind.

"Oh." Liu Yiming responded.

The two found the flower shop they had seen on the map before, but—they hadn't opened the door yet.

"What should I do?" Liu Yiming asked cautiously.

"I'll make a call." Lin Zhixi pointed to the phone number on the glass door, and took out her cell phone.

"Yeah." Liu Yiming lowered his head and looked at his shoes silently, not daring to vent his breath, just feeling nervous, uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

"I did not answer."

"Ah?" Liu Yiming raised his head, "Then what should we do?"

"Let's change to another one." Lin Zhixi lowered her head and swiped the map on her phone, "It's just that it seems a little far away."

Liu Yiming nodded: "Then, let's go..."

"Yeah." Lin Zhixi turned her head to look at him, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Eh..." Liu Yiming touched his forehead, "Didn't you see me coming out of the dormitory? I don't have time for breakfast."

Liu Yiming was startled by the look in Lin Zhixi's hand just now, he didn't dare to meet him, instead he lowered his head, his heartbeat didn't slow down at all, and he felt uncomfortably suffocated.

"Let's have breakfast first." Lin Zhixi looked around, only a bakery.

He pointed to the signboard and asked, "Can I eat this?"

"Okay." Now here, does he dare to choose anything...

As soon as he entered the bakery, Liu Yiming received a call. He turned to Lin Zhixi and said, "I'll answer the call first, and you can buy it for me by the way. I'll give you the money later."

Lin Zhixi was startled, then nodded, "Okay."

Liu Yiming turned around after making the phone call, and saw that Lin Zhixi only had a bag of toast in his hand.

He frowned slightly, and said to the business first: "Well, that senior sister told us to go there quickly."

"We haven't bought any flowers yet." Lin Zhixi opened the package of toast.

"She said that our show was ahead of schedule, and the first round of rehearsal is about to start now." Liu Yiming paused, and continued, "As for the flower, I told her. She said that the second rehearsal at noon would take a long time. We eat, go shopping, change clothes, do makeup and hair."

"Okay." Lin Zhixi took out a piece and ate it, then handed the toast bag to Liu Yiming, "Eat."

Liu Yiming suddenly blushed, his mind went blank, a familiar feeling swept over his body, he took the bag with trembling hands, and said, "You, you..."

"Ah?" Lin Zhixi smiled faintly, "Well, you can't eat much for breakfast. If you buy this, you'll be full at most. I'm afraid I'll buy you something else, which would be a waste."

Well, he is still him, the thrifty him.

"So thoughtful."

"Let's go over quickly." Lin Zhixi had already eaten a piece of toast, and stretched out her hand towards Liu Yiming.

Liu Yiming quickly handed him the bag, the blush on his face not diminishing at all.

Lin Zhixi took the bag, and Liu Yiming turned around.

"Why are you blushing again?"

Liu Yiming heard Lin Zhixi muttering in a low voice, and turned around subconsciously—Lin Zhixi looked at him innocently with a toast in his mouth.

Liu Yiming turned around hastily, and when Lin Zhixi couldn't see, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but crazily raised, but his voice was forcibly lowered: "Hurry up."

Back to school by bike, on the way to the studio, Lin Zhixi suddenly asked: "How are you doing recently?"

Liu Yiming never thought that Lin Zhixi would ask this question, so he couldn't help being startled, his brain running at high speed looking for a suitable answer.The bitterness in his heart kept surging, and he would never forget the powerlessness he felt during that time.

It took a full minute for him to reply: "Not good, not good at all. I have a cold and fever, and my tonsils are inflamed. I can't listen to class, let alone review. Life is a mess, and I don't know when I will get back on track."

Lin Zhixi froze in place, her eyes fixed on him.

He met his gaze, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Let's go, go to rehearsal. Senior sister may be crazy now."
