After falling into the shadow's trap

Lan Xingyue went to say hello to the owner of the restaurant, and Xi Heng obediently stood in the yard with her bag in hand, waiting for her.

The wooden waterwheel beside the small pond was working diligently, and the sound of the water was so loud that the fish in the pond did not dare to pass by, and swam around in the distance with their tails waving.

It was getting dark, and a sparrow stopped at some point on the eaves of the zigzag corridor, raised its head to the sky and "chirped" twice, turned its head and looked around, seemed to be wondering where it was, and then flapped its wings to fly away. gone.

It's just that the streets and alleys around here are all criss-crossing, and they look the same. Looking down from the sky, it looks like a maze. Ordinary people who are not familiar with the terrain will get lost in a few clicks.

Fortunately, sparrows can fly.

Xi Heng withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and stared at his toes.

"Xiaoxi, let's go."

Lan Xingyue came out with an insulated bag, saw her eyes fall on the bag, lifted it up and shook it, and explained with a smile: "The egg-smoked Longjing shrimp and butter pumpkin crisps sent by the boss will be taken home for you later. "

Without waiting for Xi Heng to say anything to refuse, she hooked Xi Heng's arm and walked out, while turning back to say goodbye to the house, promising to come back next time when she was free.

The summer wind carrying the dull heat quietly blew past the skin of the two of them, sweating a little, a little sticky that was not noticeable.

It feels like a pink marshmallow that has accidentally dropped on your hand and is about to melt.

Xi Heng moved her arms uncomfortably, and Lan Xingyue seemed to have just realized it, and let her go with an "ah".

That piece of skin suddenly came into contact with the circulating air, and the fluff stood up sensitively.Xi Heng showed a cramped smile at the other party, and two small dimples flashed across his cheeks.

Lan Xingyue was a little apologetic: "I'm sorry, I was used to holding Xiao Tang's hand before, so I subconsciously treated you like this just now."

"I didn't mean that, I just feel a little hot..."

"Then let's go quickly?"

She took two steps forward, turned to invite Xi Heng, and said in a brisk tone, "Turning on the air conditioner in the car will make it cooler."

Xi Heng was going to refuse subconsciously. She wanted to say that she would not bother you, and that I could go back by myself.

But under the dim twilight, Lan Xingyue was standing a few steps away from her, and she could touch her as soon as she stretched out her hand.

The evening wind messed with her long curly hair, some strands stuck to her forehead and scattered in front of her eyes, she lowered her eyes slightly, raised her hand to push them away, and put them behind her ears.

The bracelets on her wrist collided with each other with her movements, making a crisp sound.

The world in front of Xi Heng suddenly became hazy. She looked at Lan Xingyue's delicate silhouette in the darkness, and remembered the photos she had seen on the forum back then. That was the beginning of her liking for Lan Xingyue.

The summer heat wave will make the air illusory, make the distance blurred, and make the mood dry and hot.

It can also make people impulsive.

"How can I compare you to a summer day?"

Shakespeare didn't know what he was thinking when he wrote this poem.

Xi Heng seemed to hear the sound of the beating heart coming from inside the body, beating and beating, very regular, but sometimes light and sometimes heavy.

Would you be happy if a star was not as far away and inaccessible as you imagined, but like a mangosteen, and it is very likely to see white, tender and juicy flesh after peeling it off?Or will you be disappointed?

"Why are you standing there still?"

Xingxing looked back to her again.

Xi Heng blinked his eyes and showed a sweet smile: "Here we come!"

She jumped lightly, walked to Lan Xingyue's side, and naturally took her by the arm.

Now it was Lan Xingyue's turn to be surprised.

Her eyes passed over Xi Heng's small shiny arm calmly, and she looked back at the deep alley in front of her. She didn't say anything, but pursed her lips and curled up the corners of her mouth.

The two just walked to the entrance of the alley arm in arm, without speaking to each other along the way.

After Xi Heng took Lan Xingyue in his arms, he regretted it just a few steps away, and the embarrassment and embarrassment that made people have nowhere to escape spread unconsciously.But this time it was she who took the initiative, and it seemed more awkward to let go halfway, so I had to try to maintain a natural state as much as possible.

Fortunately, the night was so dark that she couldn't see her blushing face clearly.

About to leave the dark alley and walk to the side of the road, Lan Xingyue took out a mask, glasses and a peaked cap from her bag.

Finally a reason to let go.

Xi Heng immediately stopped the physical contact between the two, stood aside, and looked around the street pretending to be calm.

However, under the light of the flickering street lamps, the blood-colored earlobes and cheeks still gave away her true emotions.

Lan Xingyue had a panoramic view of these details, recalling the journey she had just taken together, she lowered her head and silently bent her eyes.

She carefully put on the three items, and then slowly checked the phone screen to make sure she would not be easily recognized.

Deliberately slowing down and delaying the movement was enough for Xi Heng to cool down his face in the night wind.

"Get in the car." Lan Xingyue opened the car door on the side of the road.

"Ah?" Xi Heng came back to his senses suddenly, and walked towards her quickly.

After getting in the car, Lan Xingyue turned on the air conditioner, turned her head and saw that Xi Heng had consciously fastened her seat belt, and with a soft "tsk", she started the car.

"Let me take you home, or do you have any other places you want to go?"

Xi Heng opened his mouth and asked her hesitantly, "Do you have any other work today?"

"No, if Xiao Xi wants, I can give you all my time."

Lan Xingyue leaned back in the chair relaxedly, and casually turned her head to look at her.

The signal light in front lit up a few times and jumped to red.

Light and shadow flickered, drawing light and dark interlacing on Lan Xingyue's face.Between the depressed brim and the raised mask, a pair of eyes looked towards her.

The blurred night and lights outside the window were reflected in her eyes, and the slender eyelashes seemed to be covered with glittering spots of light.

Xi Heng couldn't help but froze for a moment, then tightened his seat belt.

When she is nervous or overwhelmed, she always subconsciously wants to grab something.

After standing still for a few seconds, she opened her mouth sluggishly, with a hoarse voice: "I..."

Xi Heng pinched the palm of his hand, his thoughts were as messy as catkins flying in the wind in March, and he couldn't find any trace.

It was the first time she faced such an invitation, and she wasn't sure how to respond, let alone it was from Lan Xingyue.

Would it appear capricious if the request was made straightforwardly?Maybe Lan Xingyue just said it casually?

If she refuses, in case she is also looking forward to it, will it make her unhappy?

Lan Xingyue watched her grasp the seat belt tighter and tighter, sighed helplessly, reached out and touched her comfortingly.

"It's a bit late today, and it might rain later, so I'll take you home first."

She lowered her tone and asked for Xi Heng's opinion: "Let's go somewhere else next time, shall we?"

Like coaxing a child.
