Listening to the sea

15

Not long after the start of the winter vacation, the first snow fell in City S. The snowflakes began to fall in the morning, and did not grow until noon. Shen Bei stood by the seaside, watching the snowflakes fall into the tumbling waves and blend into one .Since the final exam, Shen Bei and Mo Zixi haven't seen each other again, they only occasionally contacted each other through WeChat. Mo Zixi told him that he went to his grandfather's house in another city and would not come back until the Chinese New Year.

Shen Bei knew that city, it was not far from S City.He looked at the landscape photo that Mo Zixi had sent a few minutes ago on his phone, hesitating whether or not to reply, and how to reply.He now has no idea about the relationship between him and Mo Zixi. The kiss that day was engraved in his heart like a brand, but they never mentioned it again. But there are some reconciled.

This was the first time in his past and present life that he was troubled by emotional matters.He thought about his identity and gender, and he was entangled in his heart. If something is destined to be a tragedy, it is better not to happen from the beginning.

He tried his best to suppress some feelings that he was about to break out of, and glanced at the content of Mo Zixi's WeChat. After pressing the lock screen of the phone, he was about to turn around and go back to the house. The phone buzzed and vibrated in his hand.

It was Mo Zixi's call.

Shen Bei hesitated for a moment, but still picked it up.Mo Zixi's voice came from the other end of the phone, it was a little different from usual, it seemed more gentle.

"What are you doing?" Mo Zixi asked.

"...Look at the snow." Shen Bei replied.

"I'll be back in a week, do you want any presents?"

Shen Bei stretched out one hand out of the eaves, let the snowflakes fall on it, a little bit cold, he shook it lightly, but there was nothing in his palm except a cloud.

"No need." Shen Bei's tone was flat, "They're all big boys, what kind of gift?"

Mo Zixi seemed to be taken aback for a while, and said nothing more, after exchanging a few pleasantries, he hung up the phone.Shen Bei sighed softly, turned around and went back to the room. Yu Jia was sitting on the floor playing with a string of shell wind chimes. Some of the shells were very beautiful and she brought them up from the bottom of the sea.Shen Bei threw the phone aside, turned on the TV and was bored to switch on the TV. Yu Jia saw that he had something on his mind, so she came over and picked up a semi-finished shell wind chime and shook it by his ear.

"Brother Beibei, do you look good?"

"It looks good." Shen Bei replied without turning his head.

"What..." Yu Jia was a little unhappy, "You didn't even look carefully, Brother Xiaobei, what's wrong with you, you seem to be worried."

"It's okay, why are you doing this? Do you want to sell it?" Shen Bei changed the subject and asked casually.

"No, I want to make it for Granny Wen. My mother said that wind chimes made of shells can bring people good luck. My favorite is Granny Wen, so I want to make one for her. Oh, of course, I I also like brother Xiaobei very much, I will make it for you next time."

"Can it bring good luck?"

"Yes, Brother Xiaobei, if you have any good friends at school, you can also give it to him, but don't give it to a girl."

"Why?" Shen Bei was puzzled.

"Are you an idiot? Do you know that in the eyes of human girls, if you take the initiative to give her a gift, it means you like her." Yu Jia said seriously.

"Ghost spirit." Shen Bei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he turned off the TV, stood up and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Yu Jia stopped him from behind.

"Go to the sea and stay for a while." Shen Bei walked out after speaking, the sky was already dark, and there were no tourists on the beach due to the weather, Shen Bei stood on a rock, stretched his arms and jumped into the sea with a plop.

The shells in the deep sea are all kinds of strange and different shapes, and they are much more beautiful than those on the beach. Shen Bei swung his long fish tail and searched back and forth on the bottom of the sea. The first person that came to Shen Bei's mind was Mo Zixi, but since he had already decided to stay away from him, wouldn't it be hypocritical to offer him a gift now?Thinking of this, Shen Bei threw away all the shells he picked up in his hand, flopped and turned a few times in the water, grabbed his hair and swam away.

His current mood is like seaweed on the bottom of the sea, entangled and messed up.

On Saturday, Shen Bei was going to work in a coffee shop as scheduled. Yu Jia dressed up early in the morning and said that playing at home was boring, so she insisted on going with him. Shen Bei was so pestered by her that he had no choice but to take her there.As soon as he opened the door and entered the store, Shen Bei saw a familiar person, and he groaned inwardly, dragging Yu Jia to take her out, but Han Chenyi stopped him behind him: "Shen Bei, why did you run away as soon as you saw me?" ? I'm not that big villain Mo Zixi."

Han Chenyi walked towards them while talking, although he was speaking to Shen Bei, his eyes kept looking at Yu Jia.Yu Jiabei looked a little embarrassed, lowered his eyes and smiled shyly, just this smile wiped away the resentment in Han Chenyi's heart for getting up early.Han Chenyi patted Shen Bei's shoulder in a good mood, "I came to deliver things to you instead of Mo Zixi, he sent the courier to my house, and asked me to deliver it to you today, so, you work first, I will Treat your sister to a cake, come and get it from me when you are not busy." Han Chenyi said that he was about to take Yujia to their fixed private room, but was stopped by Shen Bei, "I'm not busy now, you put Give me something, go back first."

Han Chenyi turned his back on Shen Beichao's manager, and the manager immediately understood, and shouted at Shen Bei: "Xiao Shen, why did you come here, come quickly and help grind the coffee beans."

Shen Bei had no choice but to go, and turned his head three times a step to warn Han Chenyi not to act recklessly. Han Chenyi blinked, ignoring Shen Bei's warning.

It was the first time that Yujia was alone with a boy other than Shen Bei, and she seemed very reserved and a little timid.Han Chenyi smiled casually: "I saw you at the school gate last time, do you still remember?"

"Remember, you are Brother Xiaobei's classmate." Yu Jia whispered.

"It's not just classmates, we are good buddies, your brother is busy today, let me play with you, don't you come to the city rarely?"

"Well, I... am in poor health, so I seldom go out." Seeing that Han Chenyi is a good friend of Brother Xiaobei, and he is very gentle, Yu Jia gradually became less shy. She raised her head and looked at Han Chenyi quietly, seeing that he was bright White teeth, a head of yellow hair makes the facial features more handsome, and the whole person has a cynical feeling. Compared with Xiaobei's other friend, he looks a little more sunny, and it is completely different from the mermaid she usually sees in the sea. .

"I promised your brother that I will treat you to a cake. What flavor do you want?" Seeing Yujia finally looking up at him, Han Chenyi hurriedly asked her.

"Any flavor is fine, I don't choose." Yu Jia said with a smile.

Han Chenyi snapped his fingers to call the waiter, and after whispering something to the menu, the waiter turned around and left. After a while, the waiter brought all the cakes in the store, each flavor was available, and the place was full of cakes. A table is full.Yu Jia was obviously taken aback, and looked at Han Chenyi with wide eyes.Han Chenyi smiled and said: "Every flavor is available, you can eat a little of all, and if you can't finish it, pack it up and eat it later."

"Are you rich?" Yu Jia glanced around at the cakes on the table and asked.

Han Chenyi was amused by her innocent words, "Why do you ask that?"

"These cakes must be expensive."

"Although I'm not very rich, it's enough to treat you to a cake." Han Chenyi said softly, swallowing the words "a lifetime", "By the way, Yujia, how old are you?"

"Hmm... about 15 years old." Yujia scooped up a piece of chocolate-flavored cake with a spoon and fed it into his mouth. The chocolate sauce stained the corner of his mouth, and Han Chenyi felt itchy when he saw it. After holding it for a long time, he picked up the paper towel on the table He leaned over and wiped it off for her.

"Uh...thank you." Yu Jia lowered her head slightly, her ears turning red quietly.

The curtain of the private room was pulled open, Shen Bei stood at the door with a dark face, and stretched out his hand to Han Chenyi, "What does he want from you? Give it to me, I'm not busy now."

Han Chenyi handed Shen Bei the gift bag he carried with him, and continued to hold his chin to introduce the taste of the cake to Yujia.Shen Bei said displeased: "I have received the things, I will thank him myself, you can go back."

"What's the rush? I'm going to have lunch here before leaving. As an employee in the store, you have no right to drive people out, right?" Han Chenyi raised his eyebrows at him, as if to say, "Your sister, I'm sure up".

Shen Bei was angry and helpless, so he turned to Yu Jia and said, "Yu Jia, you go back first, I have to have dinner before I get off work, you are too boring here."

"It's okay, I can wait for you." Yu Jia smiled.

"How about this, Yu Jia, I'll take you to the movies and bring you back when your brother is off work, okay?" Han Chenyi said from the side.Shen Bei was about to refuse when he heard Yu Jia say in a slightly excited tone, "Really? I've never seen a movie before, can you do that? Brother Xiao Bei?"

Looking at Yu Jia's expectant eyes, Shen Bei couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded helplessly, and then said to Han Chenyi in a low voice: "Only watch movies, don't mess around."

Han Chenyi patted him on the shoulder, and teased: "Sister-in-law, take a break, haven't you heard a word, girls don't want to stay."

Seeing the backs of them leaving, Shen Bei couldn't help but start to worry. As Yujia's identity, it is natural that the farther away from human boys the better, but he understands Han Chenyi's character. After today's contact, Yujia might want to stay away from him in the future It is also impossible.He sighed and opened the gift bag in his hand, and there was a brand new swimming goggle lying in it. Shen Bei took it out to have a look, it was a brand that the swimming team members had discussed, it was very expensive and very beautiful.

Shen Bei put the swimming goggles back into the bag, took out his mobile phone, and sent Mo Zixi a WeChat message: The gift has been received, thank you.

As soon as the message was sent, he felt someone approaching behind him, and a deep voice said in his ear: "If you want to thank me, why don't you accompany me to have lunch."

Warm breath hit Shen Bei's ears, carrying a dusty breath, Shen Bei's whole body immediately froze, leaving only one heart beating violently.
