mountain sleep

As the weather gradually turned hot, Chen Siyi filled Xu Zihang with a pot of honey and lemonade every day, and told him not to blow the cool breeze immediately after playing.At noon, Xu Zihang slept on his mother's new bamboo mat, with several marks on his face.When he got to the class, he saw Qiu Ting sitting next to Ah Mei, and the two were chatting happily.

Seeing Xu Zihang coming in, Amei waved to him: "Come here, Tingting brought us the sushi she made herself."

Xu Zihang took one from the lunch box handed over as he sat down, and said unceremoniously, "What flavor is it?"

"I added cucumber ham sausage and meat floss." Qiu Ting tied her hair into two low braids today, hanging loosely on her shoulders. Compared with many girls now, they look like pot lids and make people want to stab them The cut bangs and the few curly hairs that were lightly placed on her forehead are indeed much more refreshing.

Qiu Ting knows that she looks the best when she smiles, her teeth are neat, and she has a standard eight teeth when she smiles, so she smiled and looked at Xu Zihang without hesitation: "What kind of food do you want, I will make it for you next time .”

Xu Zihang felt a little choked before he swallowed a mouthful of sushi.Ah Mei couldn't help laughing beside him, he looked away uncomfortably: "Ah, thank you, thank you. Li Chengjin hasn't come yet?"

"I've come here a long time ago, I don't know where I went." Amei winked at Xu Zihang from behind Qiu Ting, and said cheerfully, "I'll go to another class to find my friend, you two can chat."

"Yeah, bye," Qiu Ting pushed the box in front of Xu Zihang, "I'll give you all this box."

"Ah? No need, no need." Xu Zihang pushed it back with both hands, as if this box was some hot potato, "I'll just try it."

"I made it for you. If you don't eat it, I will be very sad." Qiu Ting's coquettish posture is not at all artificial, she is very good at measuring the scale, and immediately rolled her eyes and happily drew her own conclusions, "I don't care Lah! You have to take it, I will come tomorrow to ask for the box. Clean it up." After speaking, she winked at Xu Zihang, and then gave him no room to refuse, and stood up briskly to go back to class.

Xu Zihang had never seen someone talking to himself like this, but it was the first time he was pursued by such an offensive, and his ears were still a little red.

A few minutes later, Li Chengjin came back from the phone call, lay down on his table and reached for one: "Hey, sushi, who made it," he nodded, "It tastes good."

"Qiu Ting." Xu Zihang was worrying, and now he quickly pushed the box to Li Chengjin, "You can eat all you want."

"I don't want it." Li Chengjin patted him on the shoulder, leaned on the table and pretended, "I have a girlfriend, so I can't just eat other people's food."

Xu Zihang glanced at him speechlessly, wanting to ask him what he was chewing.At this moment, he remembered that Li Chengjin had been missing lately, so he lightly kicked his chair: "What are you busy with?"

"Falling in love." Li Chengjin shook the dilapidated wooden stool back and forth, creaking, as if it was about to fall apart in a second.He couldn't contain his joy a little bit.

"Hello." Li Chengjin approached Xu Zihang, lowered his voice to share the happiness with him, "We are holding hands."

"Oh—" Xu Zihang dragged his voice and shrugged.No wonder he often saw Li Chengjin smiling like a fool recently, so he wondered, as for?

"Hey," Li Chengjin took another piece of sushi and put it in front of his eyes to study, "You might as well have a relationship with Qiu Ting and forget about it, then you will understand me."

"Worry about yourself."

"I'm serious, Qiu Ting asked me if I want to go out to play together on May [-]st, I have to see if Xiaochu can come out."

"Go," Amei came out from behind, "I think Qiu Ting is really nice. She is pretty and easy to get along with. She comes to see you every day and makes sushi for you. Xu Zihang, you can do it. If you don't like it, don't." Hang on to others, tell them clearly sooner or later, if you like it, just order it directly, let's be together."

"No, I said," Xu Zihang frowned, not knowing why the people around him began to tease him and Qiu Ting, "She didn't say she liked me, how could I refuse? Isn't it embarrassing for me to refuse suddenly?"

"Does it need to be said?" Amei rolled his eyes at him, "Oh, don't worry about it for now, if you feel it again, maybe you will fall in love with each other for a long time. —By the way, what math homework is there today?"

In the middle of the night, Xu Zihang was lying on the bed, thinking that Qiu Ting was still a little worried, the curtains were pulled back and forth by him, and the air was filled with fidgety sounds.

He doesn't hate Qiu Ting. Few people can hate such a girl, but it's not like he likes it either. He doesn't know what liking is.Frankly speaking, he even masturbates just for fun, there is no picture in his head.Every time someone made fun of them, he was at a loss and didn't know how to respond, which was a bit annoying.

Yao Ge was browsing in the post bar recently, looking for good recording equipment, and accidentally found an underground band in Naicheng. He said that they had a performance during the summer vacation and invited everyone to watch it.Yao Ge wrote down the time and address, planning to go around when the time comes.

"Son, what are you doing?" Yang Yiwen knocked on the door and poked her head out, "Mom is on holiday today, shall we go shopping and watch a movie? Or do you want to exercise? Play badminton?"

"Mom, I haven't finished the book yet."

Yang Yiwen dressed up very carefully today, her hair, which is usually fixed and meticulous, is draped over her shoulders, and her whole body is much softer. Yao Ge has never seen his mother wearing a T-shirt and denim shorts.

"Don't look, it's not too late." Yang Yiwen went to Yao Ge's closet to pick out a set of clothes for him, "You can wear this. Let's go out for dinner."

"Okay." Yao Ge didn't want to spoil the fun, he tidied up the notebooks on the table, "Then wait for me outside for a while."

Yao Ge didn't expect Yang Yiwen to take him to the video game city, he never came.

"What do you want to play?" Yang Yiwen exchanged the game coins and put her arms around her taller son, "I have never brought you here to play."

"It's all right, let's watch for a while." Yao Ge seemed to be standing in front of a busy castle and dared not take a step. Everything felt strange, even the intimacy with Yang Yiwen was so strange, but he was a little eager to try, probably The game city music and noise make people happy.

"Let me play this shot." He chose a simple one, those dancing machines and shooting guns. He definitely can't do it. He held a basketball, turned his head, and bravely took a step towards his unfamiliar field, "You play together Is it? Let's play."

Yang Yiwen originally only planned to watch him play, but she didn't expect to be invited. She was a little surprised and nodded happily: "Okay, don't underestimate your mother."

As the button was pressed, Yao Ge raced against time to shoot. At first he squinted his eyes to find the right shot. Then he turned his head to look at his mother. The score was higher than him. The time change of the timer made him nervous. He started to get the ball. Blind casting, it counts wherever you cast.

"42, how much are you? 45, hahaha." Yang Yiwen patted her son on the back excitedly, "We are the same."

Yao Ge and Yang Yiwen seldom laughed heartily when they were together, but today he really felt that some burdens had been lifted, and it turned out that he could be relaxed and happy when he was with his mother.

They played a few more rounds, and Yao Ge's back was sweating.

"I can't, I have to rest for a while." Yang Yiwen supported the edge of the game table and waved her hands, "My arm is sore."

"Mom, your desire to win is too strong." Yao Ge rubbed her arms and shoulders, "I'm so nervous to vote with you."

"So I don't like to play games, because I want to win when I play." This is also the first time Yang Yiwen chatted with Yao Ge so relaxedly, as if she was ten years younger, feeling the long-lost indulgence, "My mother used to study abroad When I was young, someone would bring mahjong to play with me, and I wanted to win every time I played, and I was not happy when I lost.”

This is very similar to Yang Yiwen's character, she wants to do her best in everything she does.

"Go, see what else to play."

Later, they played the music rhythm machine together, raced to drive tanks, and caught dolls by coin-operating.Yao Ge couldn't remember how long they played that day, the two of them joked and competed with each other like friends, recalling later, this was indeed a rare colorful day between him and Yang Yiwen.

"Let's go, go drink something, I can't play anymore." After listening to the music here for a long time, she felt a little dizzy, Yang Yiwen continued to hold her son's arm, "What do you want to drink?"

"It's all right."

They went to the nearest Starbucks at the west gate on the first floor.Yang Yiwen ordered coffee by herself and ordered a glass of orange juice for Yao Ge.

"Are you happy?" Yang Yiwen handed a piece of paper to Yao Ge, "It's really useless when you're old, you'll be tired after a while."

"I'm tired too." Yao Ge stirred the bottom of the cup to mix the fruit evenly, with a smile on his lips.

The two sat facing each other, Yang Yiwen looked at the time, looked up at Yao Ge who was looking at his phone, and then said unintentionally: "In a while, Uncle Zhao will come to pick us up, let's go have dinner together."

Yao Ge's fingers paused there, and he suddenly understood that this was the highlight of their outing today. The high emotions throughout the day were like bubbles that had been punctured, "pong", and disappeared with a soft sound.

Those burdens have returned, and the so-called intimacy and relaxation have no purpose.

He didn't raise his head, staring at the oranges gradually falling from the rotation: "Okay."

At this time, Xu Zihang was sitting at Li Chengjin's house, playing puzzles with them bored.

Amei and Qiu Ting were looking for him downstairs at his house this morning, causing him to be teased by Chen Siyi when he went out, and even girls would look for him.The three of them had breakfast together, and went to the bookstore for a stroll. Xu Zihang quickly took the time to ask where Li Chengjin was, and begged him to come and help him.

Li Chengjin happened to be studying with his Xiao Chu in a roadside milk tea shop, so he brought Xiao Chu with him.

When Xu Zihang saw Chu Xia for the first time, he was a little frightened, and thought "it really is Li Chengjin's taste".

Chu Xia wears short orange hair, a school uniform skirt that only exists in anime, and stockings. The only thing I didn't expect is to be so tall, it looks like 1.7 meters.

Xu Zihang was not the only one who was frightened, even Amei and Qiu Ting were stunned, but their upbringing made them try not to show it.At this moment, Xu Zihang felt that Qiu Ting was a well-deserved duanhua. At his age, he still couldn't appreciate this kind of heavy makeup.

When Xu Zihang whispered to Li Chengjin why her makeup was so thick, Li Chengjin replied to him in confusion: "Where is it? Isn't it cute?"

The short orange-yellow hair highlights the whiteness and tenderness of the early summer, and the faint pink on the cheeks makes people want to take a bite when they look at it.

Well, I can't tell.Xu Zihang originally thought that Xia Chu was the Yujie type, but he did not expect that it was indeed like what Li Chengjin said, she spoke very little, very shy, and spoke in a soft voice.

He looked at his phone, and he hasn't replied to the message he just sent to Yao Ge.

"Stop playing with your phone!" Qiu Ting put both hands on Xu Zihang's shoulders and shook, "Hurry up and do the puzzle." Xu Zihang was uncomfortable with her hands on her shoulders. Fortunately, Qiu Ting put away the phone after he put it away. I consciously let go.

"Where is this?" Qiu Ting took a piece and put it in front of Xu Zihang's eyes. The faint orange smell in her hair got into Xu Zihang's nose. He suddenly remembered the "Perfume" he watched with Yao Ge. If Qiu Ting Ting was arrested, maybe her incense is orange?

"Hey! What are you thinking about you!" After Qiu Ting patted the back again, Xu Zihang withdrew his thoughts and pointed to a random location.

What was I thinking, Xu Zihang couldn't help laughing, and told Yao Ge in the evening.

Yao Ge met Uncle Zhao in the underground parking lot of the shopping mall. He was wearing a suit and looked out of place with their mothers.

"What are you doing here in a suit?" Yang Yiwen scolded, "It's not about business."

"Isn't this the first time I want to meet Yao Ge, so I want to dress more formally." Zhao Fengnian smiled kindly, "Let's go, get in the car."

Yao Ge was sitting in Zhao Fengnian's car, and his mother sat in the back seat with him.The car was clean and there was no strange smell of perfume.

"There is water in the fridge, Yao Ge, are you thirsty?"

"No need, we just finished drinking Starbucks." Yang Yiwen paid close attention to Yao Ge's mood at all times, and felt a little relieved when he saw that he was calm.

"Is the air conditioner okay? Tell me if it's too cold."

"Yes, Uncle Zhao." Yao Ge and Zhao Fengnian met eyes in the rearview mirror, and he smiled at each other.

The three sat together in a Japanese restaurant, and each box was partitioned with curtains.Zhao Fengnian poured hot tea for the two of them: "Be careful when staying in an air-conditioned room in summer, and drink something hot."

"Thank you uncle."

"Yao Ge, let me formally introduce myself." Zhao Fengnian put down the teapot in his hand, looked directly at Yao Ge and said to him seriously, "My name is Zhao Fengnian, and I am 5 years older than your mother. I am divorced and have no children. I like it very much. Your mother, maybe you can't accept me yet, but I hope you can give me a chance."

Yao Ge's fingers moved, and he could see his mother's hands kneading together, so even though he knew it was just a formal "asking for his consent", he still raised his most cute smiling face: "Uncle Zhao, Don't worry, I have no objection to your dating, as long as my mother likes it."

It just so happened that the waiter came over with the sushi they ordered. Zhao Fengnian said hello with a smile, dipped his chopsticks in wasabi sauce, put it in front of Yang Yiwen and Yao Ge, and told them: "You must eat raw food. Get some mustard."

"Come on, little Ge, don't you like salmon the most? Eat more."

"Yeah." Yao Ge picked up two slices and put them on his own plate, and took the initiative to start the conversation, "Uncle, is your name because Ruixue heralds a good year?"

"Haha, you are really right. I was born in winter. My father said at the time that Zhao and Zhao have the same pronunciation, so I took this name."

Zhao Fengnian is a very calm and talkative man, after a meal, the atmosphere hardly freezes.

In the evening, Zhao Fengnian sent them home, and Yao Ge went upstairs first.

"What do you think?" Yang Yiwen was still uncertain about her son's attitude.

"It's good, I don't think he has any repulsive emotions." Zhao Fengnian comforted her, "Don't worry too much."

Yang Yiwen pursed her lips and smiled. There were two dimples on her face that were very similar to Yao Ge. She actually didn't know how to get along with Yao Ge. Compared to being a mother, maybe being an executive made her more comfortable: "Well, I just I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it, but today it looks okay."

She was never used to relying on anyone, but getting along with Zhao Fengnian really made her feel tempted again, so she wanted to introduce Zhao Fengnian to Yao Ge, as if in this way she could continue the relationship with peace of mind.

Li Chengjin wants to send Xia Chu home, so the task of sending Ah Mei and Qiu Ting falls to Xu Zihang.Amei's house was just a few steps away, and Xu Zihang and Qiu Ting were the only ones left.

Xu Zihang has big strides, he often walks half a step faster, and the two of them walked one after the other.Qiu Ting changed from her usual liveliness, but now she is reserved and doesn't speak much.

"Your family goes this way?" Xu Zihang couldn't help breaking the strange silence between the two of them, and asked nonsense.

"That's right." Qiu Ting took a few steps forward and got closer to him, "The street lights here are very dark."

"Indeed." This road is the residential area behind the commercial street, and there are no people on the road.

"It's okay, it's good that you are with me." Qiu Ting tilted her head and said to him in a playful tone.

Xu Zihang touched his nose, hummed, and didn't respond much to this sentence.

After finally sending Qiu Ting home, Xu Zihang heaved a sigh of relief, and checked his phone, Yao Ge hadn't replied yet.
