Still tide

Before May came, the weather had gradually warmed up, and for a few days it was as hot as summer.

It's rare that Chen Chao didn't study that day, so he leaned on the chair and watched a movie. He watched it with Miao Jiayan and Ding Wentao, but later Ding Wentao went out to play with others, and Miao Jiayan fell asleep.

Chen Chao turned his head after watching the movie, and saw Miao Jiayan sleeping with her mouth slightly open, lying on his side in a posture that was uncomfortable to watch.Anyone who sleeps with their mouth open like this will look ridiculous.

Chen Chao smiled and went to the toilet. When she came back, Miao Jiayan heard footsteps and opened her eyes to look at him.

"Slept soundly," Chen Chao patted his leg, "Get in."

Miao Jiayan didn't take off her shoes at first, so her calves were hanging out of the bed. When Chen Chao said so, he rubbed off the slippers and moved them inside.

Chen Chao sat up, and leaned against the bedside to read and delete a mess of messages on his mobile phone from nowhere.

Miao Jiayan fell into a drowsy sleep, changed her position and closed her eyes before falling asleep again.The bed was not very wide, and Chen Chao could occasionally touch his face when he moved his arms.Miao Jiayan is a light sleeper, she wakes up when she touches her face, she opens her eyes to take a look, then closes them and goes back to sleep.

He slept so comfortably, Chen Chao wasn't sleepy at first, but even after a few glances at him, he became sleepy.

Throwing the phone on the table, she put the long hair that fell on the pillow here on top of Miao Jiayan's head, and then lay down too.

There was a small wind blowing in intermittently from outside the window, Chen Chao fell asleep, and his arm was next to Miao Jiayan.

Miao Jiayan opened her eyes to look at him in bewilderment, Chen Chao frowned and said "Hmm" before curling up his legs.Miao Jiayan stood up, pulled down the quilt and covered Chen Chao, and then went back to sleep.

Miao Jiayan is soft, like a piece of cloth, like a glass of water.He can always gently wrap those edges and corners of Chen Chao, and then keep them properly.At the same time, he is relying on Chen Chao. If Miao Jiayan is a crisp and tender bud, then Chen Chao is the stone next to him to block the wind.

This kind of dependence is mutual. After three years, even though Chen Chao is such a person who doesn't love or get tired of crookedness, in the last two months of junior high school, he still showed a lot of love for this place, for grandparents, and for Miao Jia. Yan is reluctant.

Miao Jiayan finished her homework at night and was about to go back. Chen Chao yawned and said, "Don't go back, sleep here."

"Ah," Miao Jiayan didn't refuse, turned around and came back, saying, "Okay."

The weather is no longer cold, and Miao Jiayan can sleep on the ground again. It is actually very comfortable to sleep on the ground, which is different from the feeling of sleeping on a bed.

When Chen Chao came back from the shower, Miao Jiayan was already lying down on the floor.Chen Chao sat down, leaned against Miao Jiayan's bent leg, and leaned his head back to pillow Miao Jiayan's knee.

"Miao'er," Chen Chao called him.

Miao Jiayan said, "Hey."

Chen Chao asked: "Who will serve me after I leave?"

Miao Jiayan smiled and said, "It's time for you to fall in love. Ding Wentao said that everyone in high school should fall in love."

"What does it have to do with that?" Chen Chao said inexplicably, "Besides, no one will serve me when I'm in a relationship. It's fine if I don't serve others."

"Why do you serve others?" Miao Jiayan couldn't imagine, "My Brother Chao only picks faults."

"I don't serve," Chen Chao said with a disinterested expression, "I don't talk about it either."

Miao Jiayan didn't speak, just smiled.

"Don't talk nonsense." Chen Chao told Miao Jiayan after a while.

"What are you talking about?" Miao Jiayan asked innocently.

"Love." Chen Chao said.

Miao Jiayan quickly said, "I won't, I won't."

"Don't talk here," Chen Chao moved his neck, changed to a more comfortable position, and said to Miao Jiayan, "It's too small here, you have to go outside and study hard."

"You are from outside," Miao Jiayan lay there, looked down at Chen Chao, and said softly, "You are different from the people here."

Chen Chao said: "Too much, I'm just an outsider."

Miao Jiayan didn't speak, and moved the hand placed by her side, as if she wanted to touch Chen Chao's hair, but she didn't.

It always rains in spring and summer, and the rain is so heavy that even the school has a holiday.

Miao Jiayan's birthday is May NO.15, and it was a rainy day in the year he was born.

This year, there was heavy rain again, and the wind was so strong that it knocked down a power pole in the village.There was a power outage in several areas in the village, and it was raining and it was impossible to repair it.The electricity was cut off from the afternoon until the evening, and the house was pitch-black.Grandpa lit many candles, and grandma cooked noodles and rolled eggs.Originally, I would order a small cake in the town every year, but it has been raining for the past two days, and the cake shop in the town is closed.

Chen Chao opened the window to call for someone, and Miao Jiayan ran over with her rain cape on.

Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen had already laid down and were about to go to bed. Miao Jiayan put the poncho on the door and went upstairs in the dark.

"What's the matter, Brother Chao?" Miao Jiayan pushed open the door and asked.

"Are you sleeping here tonight?" Chen Chao said, "The thunder is too loud, I'm afraid."

Miao Jiayan immediately laughed: "Stop teasing me."

"Really." Chen Chao said again, "What's the sound of the wind blowing? I'm scared when I hear it. There's also a power outage. It's too dark."

Miao Jiayan couldn't help laughing, Chen Chao said, "It's so scary, stop laughing."

"Okay," Miao Jiayan said with a smile, "I'll sleep here tonight, I'll go downstairs and lock the door."

"Let's go together." Chen Chao also stood up.

Miao Jiayan grew up in this kind of environment since she was a child. It was really scary when there was a power outage in the countryside and it was windy and rainy, but Miao Jiayan was extremely courageous in this regard, just like he was not afraid of watching horror movies.

After forking the door and coming back, Miao Jiayan held Chen Chao's wrist in front of her all the way up the stairs, leading him upstairs.

"Be careful on the steps," Miao Jiayan reminded gently, "Don't step on the empty space."

Chen Chao walked cautiously. It was too dark when the power was cut off on rainy days. Fortunately, his eyes had adapted to the darkness, and he could still see something more or less.

At least there were still two candles in the room. Chen Chao closed the door and exhaled.

Miao Jiayan didn't dare to laugh out loud, but only dared to curl the corners of her mouth secretly.

The wind outside was blowing a little presumptuously, making the windows crackle.

Miao Jiayan sat on the edge of the bed, and was about to speak when something happened to her hand.

He touched it, and it was a handbag.

"Take it back." Chen Chao sat at the table holding the candle, and said to Miao Jiayan.

"What?" Miao Jiayan asked in surprise.

"Just take it as a birthday present," Chen Chao said, "Brother Chao is leaving, so I'll give it to you."

Miao Jiayan reached in and touched it, but it was still a bag.

"Why did you give me something..." Miao Jiayan blinked, "Didn't you just leave after the exam?"

Chen Chao thought he was verbose, and said, "I didn't say anything and I'm leaving tomorrow."

Miao Jiayan stopped talking, and sat on the edge of the bed holding a hard-shell handbag, silent and dazed.

Chen Chao originally wanted to look at him, but in this weather, coupled with the shabby light from the two candles in the room, Miao Jia's face was pale and her hair was so long, to be honest, Chen Chao was a little afraid to look at him .

Miao Jiayan reached into the bag again and looked down, unable to see clearly.

"Don't touch the skirt." Chen Chao said.

Miao Jiayan slowly widened her eyes, looking at Chen Chao with an expression full of disbelief.

Chen Chao turned around and immediately turned back, saying, "Don't look at me like that, I'm scared."

Miao Jiayan asked softly, "Why...buy me a skirt?"

Chen Chao said: "No reason, why."

Miao Jiayan lowered her head and looked like a well-behaved child holding a gift.

"Did you buy it for me?" Miao Jiayan asked again.

"I can't buy it," Chen Chao said, "I asked my mother to bring it back last time. Don't keep your head down."

Originally, Chen Chao wouldn't be so scared, and Lai Ding Wentao had made too many horror movies, so now seeing this kind of black long straight hair, he subconsciously felt a little terrified.

Miao Jiayan had no choice but to raise her head, looking at Chen Chao.

Chen Chao: "..."

Chen Chao: "Don't look at me either."

Miao Jiayan didn't know what to do, and finally tied up her hair with a small rubber band on her wrist.

In an instant, he became much more refreshed, and Chen Chao seemed to have relaxed a lot even his nerves.

"Thank you Brother Chao." Miao Jiayan's voice was small and soft.

Chen Chao casually patted his head as usual and said "you're welcome".Said: "It doesn't matter what other people say. You can wear pants and skirts and look beautiful. You can wear whatever you like, and others don't care, right?"

Miao Jiayan didn't speak, just looked at Chen Chao, her mouth slightly pursed.

When the wind blew violently outside and the window slammed, Chen Chao took his hand off his head and put it on his lap, took a deep breath and said, "Don't look at me, why don't you go to sleep."
