Still tide

Miao Jiayan never thought that Chen Chao could come up with this sentence, she couldn't keep up with it for a while, and it took several seconds before she murmured: "God..."

After Chen Chao finished speaking, he was still very calm, and he didn't show any abnormality at all.

Miao Jiayan didn't know how to pick it up, he even forgot to wipe his face, and just stared blankly at Chen Chao.

After Chen Chao finished that sentence, he didn't say anything else, lying there as if he was about to fall asleep.

Because her relationship with Chen Chao had changed, Miao Jiayan felt a little guilty when she went back to see Grandma Chen's family.

Chen Guangda packed up his things and was going to leave in the past few days. He couldn't lie down all the time. Even though it wasn't the time yet, he still planned to go to work every day with crutches.There are too many things under pressure, and my heart is urged to be frizzy every day.

Miao Jiayan came in with flowers, while Chen Guangda was sitting by the bed bending over to pick up a crutch.

"I'll do it." Miao Jiayan hurried over to pick it up, put it aside and straightened it.

"Miao'er is back?" Chen Guangda saw him coming, greeted him with a smile, and motioned him to sit down.

Miao Jiayan went to put the flowers in a vase, and asked a little worriedly: "Can you go to the ground so early, uncle?"

"I have to go back if I can do it. I'm going to be depressed if I stay any longer." Chen Guangda lost more than ten pounds in two months and looked quite haggard. I kicked him out, he bothered me."

Miao Jiayan was amused, and said, "Grandpa Chen was just joking."

"He really annoys me. He didn't like me when I was young." Chen Guangda was quite self-aware and said, "He cares about your uncle, my brother, he is obedient."

Chen Guangda likes Miao Jiayan very much. When Chen Chao is not at home, the neighbor kid often comes to accompany him. Miao Jiayan is the kind of kid that adults like most, sensible and obedient.He and Chen Chao are two kinds of children. His son is stubborn and cold-tempered, and Miao Jiayan is soft-tempered. Chen Guangda likes to see him.

"Have you contacted Chen Chao recently?" Chen Guangda asked casually while chatting.

Miao Jiayan felt a little nervous, looked at his expression, and replied, "Yes."

"Is he busy?" Chen Guangda said, "I sent him a WeChat message this morning and he didn't reply."

"He forgot to bring his mobile phone to class," Miao Jiayan explained for Chen Chao, and then added, "...Maybe."

Chen Guangda didn't care either, and said, "Maybe he just ignored me, maybe he can call me at night."

Miao Jiayan immediately said, "He... probably just didn't bring his mobile phone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Guangda's cell phone rang, and he picked it up to have a look.Chen Chao replied: I forgot my phone, who asked you to help?

Chen Guangda sent him a direct voice message: "Your Uncle Li's son, let me ask you if you can get into your school with your grades."

When he was speaking, Miao Jiayan's cell phone rang.

— After class, I didn’t take my mobile phone.

Miao Jiayan replied: [Puppy stickers.jpg]

Chen Guangda's cell phone rang again, and Chen Chao also answered the voice. Chen Guangda smiled and said to Miao Jiayan before clicking on it: "I really didn't bring my cell phone."

Miao Jiayan: "Yeah."

Chen Chao's voice came from Uncle Chen's mobile phone: "Where did you take the monthly exam, and I didn't say major."

Chen Guangda posted again: "What if you are professional?"

Chen Chao's voice sounded like he was walking: "It's hard to see the rankings, but I can't tell anything from the monthly exam."

Chen Guangda said: "Then you can take a look after you have made the model. Your Uncle Li always tells me that the children want to go to your school. Your Uncle Li doesn't build houses. You want your children to learn architecture."

Chen Chao: "It's useless if you can't tell the difference in the college entrance examination, so why worry?"

On Miao Jiayan's mobile phone, Chen Chao also sent a voice message, Miao Jiayan didn't dare to click to listen, and long pressed to transfer the text.

Chao: Just getting ready to eat, what did you have for lunch?

Miao Jiayan: I was talking with Uncle Chen, and Grandma Chen cooked wontons for me at noon.

Chao: Are you with my dad?

Miao Jiayan: Yes.

Chao: Then don't listen to him talking bad about me.

Miao Jiayan: Uncle Chen didn't say anything, so you can't say anything bad.

Chen Guangda sent messages back and forth with Chen Chao. He saw Miao Jiayan looking down at his phone, but he didn't know that they were talking about the same person.

Miao Jiayan ate Grandma Chen's small wontons and was going to the flower shed in the afternoon.Grandpa Miao said that there were little spiders growing in two sheds, and they were quite severe, so they had to be sprayed.In the afternoon, people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences will come to take a look and see where the problem is. Otherwise, the insects will be infested in a large area and the flowers will not be able to keep up in the next season.

Jiang Xun didn't come back with him. He was full of classes today, and he was recorded as absent from the teacher once. If he missed another class, he would fail this semester.

Seeing that he didn't come this time, Grandma Miao asked, "Xiao Jiang didn't come?"

"No, he's in class." Miao Jiayan said.

Grandma Miao said: "Last time he said he wanted to eat pancakes, but I made the dough in the morning and let it go."

"That's okay, I'll just take it with him when I go back to school." Miao Jiayan said with a smile, "I want to eat too."

Grandma Miao stood up smiling, wiped off a little dust on Miao Jiayan's face with her wrist, and said, "Grandma will bake it."

Grandma chatted with Jiang Xun several times in the afternoon, and asked: "Does Xiao Jiang have a partner? Such a handsome boy is rare, right?"

Miao Jiayan replied, "He doesn't have a date yet."

"No?" Grandma looked at him, and asked after a while, "Sometimes I watch the video very late and he is still with you. Do you two live together?"

"Don't live together." Miao Jiayan suddenly realized that grandma had been chatting with Jiang Xun all day, and he looked at grandma, wondering if he was thinking too much.

Grandma Miao didn't talk about this anymore, she talked about other things.If it was the past, Miao Jiayan would definitely ask grandma if she misunderstood something, and then explain it directly.But now he has no way to mention it, and he has no confidence.Even if it wasn't Jiang Xun, he couldn't lie to grandma that he was normal.

It is very difficult for two busy people to meet each other.It's all from autumn to winter, and this young couple who confirmed their relationship and moved away from each other never saw each other again.

Chen Chao recently went out to sketch and was not at school.The signal in the place where he lives is very poor, and it is difficult to video for a while every night. The Wi-Fi signal is intermittent. If you want to video, you can’t stay too far from the door. If you lie on the bed, you will basically be stuck.

Miao Jiayan watched the video in which Chen Chao sat straddling a chair by the door, with his arms on the back of the chair, and yawned.

"Go and lie down Brother Chao, you're sleepy." Miao Jiayan lay on her side, covered with a quilt, with only one face exposed.

"I'll wait a while," Chen Chao said, "It's hard to get out of the card now."

Chen Chao was wearing a thick sweater. He thought the room was cold and damp, so he put the hat on his clothes on his head.

The hooded sweater is dark blue, with a logo in white letters on the chest. Miao Jiayan likes to see him wearing this kind of clothes, which looks very sunny and handsome.

Miao Jiayan bent her eyes with a smile, looked at Chen Chao on the screen, and felt her heart full of liking.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Chao asked him.

Miao Jiayan didn't say anything, she hid her chin and mouth under the quilt, only showing her nose and eyes, and smiled.

I have been dating online for more than two months, and I can only watch it from the video every day. After the first period of time, I have gradually gotten used to it.But sometimes I still feel unsatisfied looking at it like this, such as now.

"I want to kiss you." After confirming the relationship, Chen Chao was always direct, saying what was on his mind.

When he said that, Miao Jiayan still smiled, but he just pulled the quilt up again, covering his nose, leaving only a pair of bright eyes.

On nights like this, Chen Chao would often think of those nights when he slept with Miao Jiayan in his arms.I can't think about more, a young man in his early twenties, he can't fall asleep if he thinks too much.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Miao Jiayan blinked and lifted the quilt, revealing her face.

Chen Chao didn't say a word, Miao Jiayan was quiet there, and tapped the screen with her finger after a while.

Chen Chao: "Huh?"

Miao Jiayan pursed her lips, and suddenly made a small "pop".

Chen Chao was very surprised, he didn't expect Miao Jiayan to be so successful tonight.

"What are you doing, I didn't see clearly." Chen Chao said deliberately.

Miao Jiayan had pulled back the quilt again, covering half of her face, and said with a smile: "I didn't see it clearly, and it's gone."

Chen Chao asked him to do it again.

Miao Jiayan shook her head and said, "Go to sleep, brother Chao, you have to get up early and go out tomorrow."

Chen Chao made him so confused by the "boo" that he lay on his arm and called "wife".

Miao Jiayan obediently said "Hey".

Chen Chao just wanted to call him, but he didn't have anything to say.

The residence is cold and damp. Chen Chao injured his ligament in summer. If he walks too much during the day, his ankle will hurt at night.

The signal on the bed was poor, and I couldn't continue the video. Chen Chao had to hang up before he lay down. Miao Jiayan said softly, "Brother Chao, good night."

Chen Chao hasn't stopped much during this period of time. He obviously hasn't graduated from a bachelor's degree yet, so he doesn't know where all these things come from.Zhang Kai's brother used to be a student of the dean, and he and Chen Chao can be regarded as senior brothers. He set up a studio this year to do architectural lighting, and Chen Chao stayed with him when he was not in class or going out.Chen Chao has a good relationship with Xiao Kai, and he is also close to his brother.

There are only six or seven people in the studio, all of whom are very strong.Half of them are studying architecture, and the other half are not related to architecture, but make lamps.Sometimes those brothers are too busy to come and ask Chen Chao to watch the site and grind with the construction.

Take classes, sketch from life, draw pictures, go to the scene.When Chen Chao didn't have much free time, Miao Jiayan also had something to do with him when he could spare time, so they probably won't be able to see each other before the winter vacation.

Miao Jiayan's pot of small flowers has been kept by Chen Chao. If Chen Chao goes out to sketch for a long time, he has to ask Zou Yu to water it.

This time I told Zou Yu once before going out, and I also said it in the middle, Zou Yu promised well, but turned around and forgot.

When Chen Chao came back, the little flowers were all wilted, and some of the outermost circles were already withered.

Chen Chao seriously apologized to Miao Jiayan, frowning and looking in a bad mood.

"It's okay, it's okay," Miao Jiayan said quickly, "You can water it thoroughly, and it'll be fine."

Chen Chao looked at the flower and said, "I watered it just now, nothing changed."

"I'll have to wait a while, it won't be that fast." Miao Jiayan comforted him, "Besides, it's just a pot of flowers, it doesn't matter."

Miao Jiayan was never angry, especially with Chen Chao.

Chen Chao was going to go out at night, but he didn't go out this time. He was looking at the potted flowers at home.

Miao Jiayan kept saying "it's okay" and "it's okay", as if she really didn't care.Chen Chao didn't care as much as he did. He took good care of the little flower before, watering it on time and fertilizing it twice.

Miao Jiayan is still more experienced in growing flowers. After watering for two hours, most of them have recovered, and the outermost circle is completely withered. Chen Chao can only cut them with scissors, and cut off the withered leaves. .

It was a pot of small flowers that were originally full of vitality, but now they look sparse and lifeless.

"It's okay Brother Chao," Miao Jiayan comforted him, "You can grow it back slowly, this little flower has small bones on every leaf."

Chen Chao had heard him say "it's okay" many times, and now he lowered his eyes and asked, "Why is it okay?"

Miao Jiayan looked at him: "Huh?"

"Do you not care if I ruin your flower?" Chen Chao touched a small leaf and asked again.

"I didn't..." Miao Jiayan paused, then continued, "...I don't care."

"Then why aren't you angry?" Chen Chao looked at him and said.

Miao Jiayan didn't know how to answer this question, but he didn't really care that much.

When Chen Chao took the photos for him, Miao Jiayan felt very distressed at that time. Those were the flowers that Chen Chao bought for him.

Miao Jiayan asked carefully: "Are you angry, Brother Chao?"

"I haven't." Chen Chao said, "I just think you should be angry, or express your emotions more directly."

Miao Jiayan could not speak at this time, and could only look at Chen Chao quietly.

Chen Chao sighed, lay down on the table, and said after a while, "My wife is sorry."
