Summertime

The waves are surging, beating against the beach in the dark night, the water is splashing, and the sound of the turbulent waves engulfs the silent darkness. At 23:[-], all the notes between the sky and the earth have entered the prelude to the nocturne in the early morning, and a new day is ready Now, today is about to become tomorrow, and tomorrow will succeed today. A handover ceremony belonging to time is carefully arranged under the cover of night, quietly.There seems to be no trace of people on the empty beach, and a few lights hanging on the iron pillars with bare and exposed long canopies shake the old body with the wind, making creaking sounds.The cool sea breeze rushes towards the golden beach with a salty smell, and blows the hair of the two people sitting on the stone steps into a mess. The flying hair has been dyed by the sufficient moisture in the wind The humidity is a bit heavy, but it still can't withstand the blowing of the frivolous sea breeze, and it dances like aquatic plants swaying deep in the bottom of the sea.

At the end of the sea, red clouds are surging, and one or two white lights of lightning appear in the thick clouds from time to time. Is it going to rain? Perhaps, Ke Xizao doesn't want to leave, sits here quietly, breathes, closes his eyes, looks into the distance, I don’t know when the disturbed thoughts will be healed. Some things are tangled, painful, and sad. Some things can’t find the answer after all. Finally, there was a clear space in her heart. She didn't know whether it was the effect of the sea breeze, or the effect of the solitude of the coast in the middle of the night. In short, the chaos in her heart and all thoughts were swept away, although Xizao knew that all this was only short , but she still gained a lightness and calmness that she hadn't experienced in this month, as if the burden was removed, the heaviness was gone, and even her breathing was extremely smooth.

"Thank you for bringing me here."

Xizao turned her head and said to the person sitting beside her looking into the depths of the sea.

"Is the mood much better? Many times, I have too many things in my heart. I will come to the beach and blow the sea breeze. After a while, I will find that nothing in this world is actually a big deal." Gu Xia turned her head and smiled. laugh.

"Don't you ask why?"

The eyes facing her in front of her are so bright and clear in the dark night, like the faint water color under the moonlight, with slight waves,

"If you want to talk, you will tell me one day."

Xizao didn't know why he was moved by Gu Xia's words, but because of a simple sentence, Xizao forbeared all the emotions deep in his heart, all kinds of colors, piled up in every corner of his facial features, But still no release.Moisture in her eyes surged up without warning, and finally, she chose to lean her heavy head on Gu Xia's shoulder, and tears instantly slipped from the corners of her eyes to Gu Xia's hand on Shitai.

"It's going to rain."

At this time, all the turbulent entanglements and all the uninvited sensibility are covered up by Xizao with an irrelevant sentence, which is a bit clumsy, but more bitter.

Xizao didn't know how to describe it, she didn't know what to say.Maybe, Gu Xia already understood something, maybe, she didn't, but Gu Xia's thoughtfulness and understanding touched her deeply, making her feel as if the lonely feeling that had been lingering around her for more than ten years suddenly disappeared out of thin air , is like a strange magic trick on the street, which makes people surprised and frightened, perhaps because magic is a magic after all, and all its special effects are time-sensitive, short and gorgeous.

But Xizao couldn't help but wonder, is there really someone in this world who can understand himself? Is that so?

Near midnight, bean-sized raindrops fell from the tumbling red clouds high in the sky without warning. The rain gradually became heavier, mixed with the smell of tide. It was not only the rain that washed the sand, but also the surging waves. wind.

The rainstorm was approaching, and the two hurriedly climbed up the wet stone steps, looked at each other, laughed, and fled towards the white car parked in the distance with their heads in their arms, in a panic.

The return trip took more than an hour, and both of them were drowned. Drops of water fell from the ends of their hair, and a small puddle of water accumulated beside the leather chair. Gu Xia bent down and searched for an unopened car locker. With a white towel, she threw the packing box into Xizao's arms, then stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

"I haven't used it before. It was originally used as a rag. Just wipe it off, or you will catch a cold later."

Gu Xia shrugged and explained.

"Just one piece, you can use it first."

Xizao felt a little guilty. Gu Xia didn't have to get involved in the shady things that happened to her, but she was still worried about herself, even afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it, so she took her all the way to the beach to relax, and kept silent. She stays by her side all the time, except for companionship, she doesn't care about others, Xi Zao is really touched, Gu Xia knows what she needs, all her care is so appropriate, no more, no less, let the feeling in my heart A cold heart inadvertently felt a little bit of warmth, peace of mind.For a long time, Xizao hadn't experienced such abundant warmth. The warmth that really belonged to her last time was given to her by Moyou. At that time, they were still together.Now she greedily enjoys this long-lost and extravagant warmth, she wants to stay, she wants this warmth to stay longer, longer, but it is because of her selfishness that Gu Xia accompanied her in the rain Well, there is no need for Gu Xia to do this, and there is no need to accompany her to suffer together.

"Quickly dry your hair and drive now. I'll use it after you use it up."

Gu Xia reluctantly freed up a hand, snatched the hesitant towel from Xizao's hand, then quickly moved the dry towel over, and rubbed Xizao's wet hair.

"Xizao, do you know that your politeness sometimes makes me feel that I can never get close to you by..."

Gu Xia's sudden words surprised Xizao.

"Really?" Xi Zao turned his head with a blank expression.

"We're good friends, right?"

"Very good friend."

Xizao's unthinking answer contained a kind of kindergarten kid's thinking, simple, generous, and straightforward, which made Gu Xia couldn't help smiling. She turned around with a serious face, as if she had become a student The teacher who made the request.

"After that, as a very good friend, can you accept my kindness to you without hesitation or dodging?"

"Have I always been like this?"

Xizao obviously didn't believe it, she felt that Gu Xia exaggerated a large part of the truth.

"Yes, you have been bullying me all the time, don't you realize that?"

Gu Xia lowered her face on purpose, pretending to be sad and wronged, every expression seemed to be accusing her of dissatisfaction with Xizao.

"Okay, okay, I know you are good to me, very good, you are the best to me in the whole world, so I will treat you well now and in the future, otherwise if you are broken by me, From now on, no one will treat me as well as you do."

While wiping her head indiscriminately, Xizao pretended to be poor-mouthed, making her want to laugh.

The driver didn't speak. He held the steering wheel and concentrated on looking at the windshield that was crackling by the rain in front of him. It was just the slowly raised corner of her mouth that made her laugh out loud.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the summer torrential rain falls quietly in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, at this time, most people in the city have already fallen asleep soundly, and they don’t know what’s going on outside the window in their dreams. endlessly.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when I got home. Last weekend, Xi Zao thought that she would not be here next weekend. She could go out and not be alone anymore. She and Su Xi would go to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. There were only two people. , just like a couple, aboveboard, she is looking forward to, fantasizing, and even preparing a lot, obviously she has been to Wuzhen many times, but she still carefully reads travel guides one after another on the Internet, obviously there are less than two For a few days, she still asked the owner of the inn about all the details about the climate, rooms, local snacks, and attractions.However, when "the next weekend came", she still returned to this empty house, still alone, because of a twelve-character text message from Su Xi, she pushed away everything she had carefully prepared, And she can't object, demand, or complain. Xizao knows that she is not qualified to do these things. She understands everything, but why does she still feel that her heart is twisted and deformed, and it hurts extraordinarily.

Is it because of some things, she seems to see more clearly.

It's just a missed appointment. If you are so disappointed just once, what should you do in the future?

The silence in the living room seemed a little too much, Xizao could actually hear the roaring in her ears, she looked down at the rows of wet footprints under the wooden floor, shook her numb head in self-deprecating, and then thought in her heart Meditate on self-comfort.

Jujube, when did you become so fragile.

She took a deep breath, quickly took off her drenched clothes, and went into the bathroom blowing an indistinct tune.

Ziz——

In the misty bathroom, the huge shaggy head sprayed water like a slippery and slender body washed by the outdoor rain. The white mist covered the glass on the partition door, reflecting a hazy silhouette, which was faintly visible from time to time. Now.The sound of rushing water covered up the movement on the bed outside the bathroom, and the vibrating mobile phone emitted a white screen light, illuminating the dim room, but unfortunately, the people taking a bath in the bathroom could not see it.

02:58——Don’t be lazy, remember to cook a bowl of ginger soup and drink it before going to bed.

Xi Zao didn't know what happened at Su Xi's house. Eight hours after returning from the beach, Xi Zao had already passed the period of her deep resentment towards Su Xi. Now she couldn't help but start to worry and feel uneasy. Xizao read the text message over and over again, but she couldn't find any clues, but she didn't dare to make an inquiry call, and she didn't even dare to send a simple text message. It was Su Xi and Zhou Mi who had a quarrel. Yet?Or something happened to Tongtong?Why is her text message to herself so ambiguous?Why did she refuse to explain the whole story to herself?Why didn't she contact me all of a sudden?Xizao put all the conceivable details into details, but in the end she found that all the endings were bad, and she began to be afraid, but the more afraid she was, the more she wanted to think wildly, even on Saturday night, okay? Xizao, who easily escaped from the state of restlessness and exhaustion, was dragged back to reality by a nightmare, which was an extremely real nightmare. She dreamed that Zhou Mi cursed at her viciously, Tong Tong was crying, There was also Su Xi's terrible silence. The frightened Xizao couldn't fall asleep again, she could only lean against the head of the bed, and fell into another vicious circle of delusions in a daze, while holding the phone in her hand, the screen displayed She never dialed the eleven-digit communication number.

These days, Su Xi has been in contact with Xi Zao every day, and has never been disconnected, but it is already Sunday night, and there is still no news about Su Xi, Xi Zao, she seems to have disappeared from this world out of thin air, Xizao held the phone, her brows were furrowed, she thought, if there was still no movement on the phone after 22:[-], she would have really called.

At 21:54 in the night, the doorbell rang suddenly in the silent living room, Xizao hurriedly got up and ran to the entrance, while the two slippers beside the sofa were lying quietly on the ground, one was lying sideways, the other was lying on the side. Only face up, they all seem to have been forgotten by the owner.
