Listening to the sea

12

Mo Zixi returned to the apartment with a dark face. As soon as he opened the door, A Pei rushed towards him, yelling around his feet. He put down his schoolbag, opened a can and put it in front of A Pei. Only then did it calm down and concentrate on it started to eat.Sitting on the sofa, Mo Zixi looked at A Pei who was eating in a daze. The scene of that morning appeared unconsciously in his mind. Shen Bei stroked A Pei gently. One person and one cat were in harmony. As Bei and the girl left arm in arm, an unknown fire surged into his heart in an instant. He angrily grabbed the pillow on the sofa and threw it at A Pei. A Pei, who was enjoying the food, was startled and raised the hair on his back , let out a whimper of dissatisfaction.

When Mo Zixi came to the classroom the next morning, he found that there were many people around his seat, most of them were girls, and only one boy, Han Chenyi, was among them. They surrounded Shen Bei to gossip about the identity of the girl yesterday. After digging out Shen Bei's little gossip, on the one hand he hoped that the girl was not his girlfriend, they were conflicted and expected, Han Chenyi's purpose was much simpler, he just wanted to find out everything about Yujia.

Shen Bei didn't want to reveal too much information about Yujia, and was irritated by everyone's rush of questions, and he couldn't do it in front of his classmates, so he could barely maintain an awkward smile to deal with everyone.Seeing this, Mo Zixi frowned, walked over to the group of girls with a dark face, and said, "Excuse me." The girls who were chattering just now quieted down instantly. Realizing that he had taken over his territory, he dispersed before he could get any further outbursts.Shen Bei felt that the air around him suddenly relaxed a lot. The smell of perfume on the girls' bodies gradually dissipated. He exhaled a long breath with relief, turned around and smiled at Mo Zixi, "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for helping me out."

"I'm not helping you." Mo Zixi said coldly.

Surprised by his attitude, Shen Bei took a closer look at the people around him and found that he was in a very bad mood, so he leaned over and asked, "What's wrong with you? You're in a bad mood early in the morning?"

Mo Zixi felt the warm breath brought out by Shen Bei's words, and his heart shuddered, wishing to grab him immediately and tell him viciously that he was not allowed to hold hands with other girls, not to chat with other girls, and not to smile at others.But he restrained himself. To Shen Bei, he was just a close classmate, and he didn't want to scare people away before he got his hands.He opened the math textbook, lowered his head and did not look at Shen Bei, and replied lightly: "It's okay."

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Shen Bei didn't ask anymore, sat up straight and returned to his seat, and was about to start previewing the content of today's class, when someone poked his back with a pen, he turned his head and saw Han Chenyi suffering With a straight face, "Xiao Beibei, is that kawaii girl yesterday really your girlfriend?"

Shen Bei sighed in his heart, thinking that he had met a troublemaker, and thinking that Han Chenyi was one of his few friends in the human world, so he confessed: "Her name is Yujia, she is my younger sister."

Young Master Mo, who was staring at the math book next to him, who was extremely entangled in his heart, frowned instantly after hearing this sentence. He concealed his expression and continued to listen to the conversation between Shen Bei and Han Chenyi calmly.

"Sister? Is it really just a sister?" Han Chenyi immediately became excited when he heard that she was not Shen Bei's girlfriend.

"It's just my sister, but not my own sister. She is a niece of Grandpa Wen. Because I am a few years older than her, Grandpa Wen asked me to take care of her."

"Yo hoo!" Han Chenyi screamed strangely, "Then which school does she study in? Is she only in the first year of high school? Is it the first middle school or the third middle school?"

After Han Chenyi asked a series of questions, Shen Bei didn't answer right away. He lowered his head and thought for a while before he said, "Yujia has been in poor health since she was a child, so she doesn't go to school now, and Grandpa Wen is teaching her at home."

"That's it." Han Chenyi said, "Shen Bei, I'll treat you to hot pot tonight, so you can call your sister over."

"No need." Shen Bei's tone suddenly turned cold, "She is not in good health and rarely goes out." Then he added as if thinking of something, "Han Chenyi, don't provoke her, she is not suitable for you."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Han Chenyi and turned around.

Han Chenyi was banned for no reason, and was very unhappy. He put away his excitement and raised the corners of his mouth just now, stared at Shen Bei's back and thought, if you don't want me to provoke me, you will provoke me.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Mo Zixi, who was in a good mood, took the excerpt from Shen Bei's desk, and read it carefully with his chin resting.Shen Bei looked puzzled at the person who was still covered in dark clouds just now and turned to cloudy sky in a blink of an eye. He didn't understand this person's mental journey, and didn't want to bother with him anymore, so he took out the math exercise book and started doing it.

"What are the arrangements for Christmas?" Shen Bei was halfway through solving a question, when the person beside him suddenly asked.

"Are you asking me?" Shen Bei was puzzled.

"Otherwise?" Mo Zixi tilted his head while resting his chin, skillfully turning the pen in his hand.

"Didn't you look like you didn't want to talk to me just now?" Shen Bei said deliberately.Mo Zixi stopped turning the pen, tapped the end of the pen on the table impatiently a few times, stared at Shen Bei and waited for his answer.

Shen Bei felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and said: "There is no arrangement."

"I'll pick you up when I have free time that day," Mo Zixi said.

"Where?"

"Just make time for it."

"You tell me the location, I'll go by myself, you don't need to pick it up." Shen Bei said.

Mo Zixi raised his eyes and looked at him. This person seemed to be resisting him to pick him up, but he didn't show anything on his face. He seemed indifferent and said, "Then I'll meet you at the school gate."

After Mo Zixi finished speaking, Shen Bei realized that he had unknowingly agreed to go out with him on Christmas. He was a little annoyed, but it didn't help. He knew that Mo Zixi disliked others' backlash, so he had to acquiesce Christmas promise.

Christmas just happened to be the weekend, and Shen Bei felt the strong festive atmosphere of this festival a few weeks earlier. Christmas trees of different sizes were decorated at the entrance of every store, and snowflakes and Santa Claus stickers were pasted on the windows. Some large shopping malls Taking advantage of this festival to engage in promotional activities, the silent winter seems to be alive all of a sudden.

Shen Bei wanted to have an appointment with Mo Zixi, so he woke up as early as he usually went to school.But as soon as he woke up, he found that something was wrong. His body became very dry, and light blue fish scales even grew on his ankles. He grabbed the dragon beads hanging around his neck and saw that the color was very light, so light that it was almost transparent. I knew that I couldn't go out today.

Originally, the maintenance time of his jiaozhu has been gradually getting longer, and he no longer needs to go to the sea every fifteen days. Granny Wen told him that he might be able to live on land for 30 consecutive days. When the limit was reached, Shen Bei didn't have time to think about it, so he jumped into the sea on the waves while there was no one on the beach at dawn.

Mo Zixi waited for two and a half hours at the gate of Shengnan High School under the warm winter sun, but Shen Bei was nowhere to be seen. The phone was about to explode, and the system kept saying that he couldn't get through. His expectant eyes dimmed. Revealing gloomy unhappiness.There are couples holding hands coming and going on the street. The happiness on their faces is glaring with the sunshine. The song "Jingle Bells" is played in a loop on the square not far across the street, highlighting this warm festival. .Mo Zixi stood alone among the crowd, exuding a dark air of not being close to strangers all over his body. He raised his wrist and glanced at the time. It was 11:30 in the morning, and three hours had passed since the appointed time. He called to ask if he needed to order food in advance, but Shen Bei still couldn't get through.Mo Zixi lowered his eyes, clenched the shopping bag tightly in his hand, walked to the trash can, raised his hand and threw the bag in. It contained the swimming goggles that were going to be given to Shen Bei.

Shen Bei, who entered the deep sea, swung his fish tail greedily to absorb the energy in the sea, and his whole body began to feel comfortable. He remembered the agreement with Mo Zixi, just now he went to the sea in a hurry and forgot to contact Mo Zixi, he must be angry, Shen Bei He let out a long sigh. Given his current situation, he would have to stay in the sea for a full day and night. He would explain to him after he got ashore. He swung his fish tail and shuttled among the corals, racking his brains to think of a reasonable excuse.

On Monday, Shen Bei mulled over the excuse that he had spent a whole day thinking of, and went to the classroom. When he sat down on his seat, he realized that there was a new person next to him. Pushing him, Han Chenyi turned over and looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"Why are you sitting here, where is Mo Zixi?" Shen Bei asked the doubt in his heart.

When Han Chenyi heard this, he immediately became upset, and almost jumped up, "This is my seat, and he occupied the magpie's nest, and now he has found out that he has returned, Xiao Beibei, we have only been separated for a few weeks, so you can leave me alone." I forgot."

Shen Bei raised his forehead, not wanting to talk to him, when he turned his head, Mo Zixi walked in from the door with a stack of homework books, put the homework books on the desks of the classmates in the first row, and walked to Han Chenyi sat down on the seat behind him, without looking at Shen Bei the whole time.

Shen Bei muttered inwardly that it was not good. It seemed that this Young Master Mo was very angry, so he lowered his head and turned around to apologize to Mo Zixi, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break the appointment yesterday."

"It's nothing, I didn't go either." Mo Zixi said calmly.

In a word, Shen Bei's well-thought-out excuse stuck in his throat. He looked at Mo Zixi's indifferent face, and couldn't say anything for an instant. He hesitated for a few seconds, and then turned back to his seat in dismay.

Only then did Mo Zixi raise his head, and looked at the back of Shen Bei's head, a hair was slightly raised, and it swayed gently with the passing cold wind, Mo Zixi tightly squeezed the pen in his hand, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.He didn't know how to get along with people since he was a child, and he was always passive in interpersonal communication. Now he took the initiative because of this person, but was rejected everywhere.

Perhaps, it is better to go back to the previous life. Without expectations, there will be no rejection, no disappointment and sadness.
