not brilliant

Chapter 23

After daybreak, Jing Can forced herself to lie down on the bed for a while.It was already noon when he got up again, and Jing Can had a severe headache. He simply ate something and couldn't take it any longer. He still shook his hands and dug out the painkiller from the drawer.

After drinking the pills in cold water, the pain in the knees became more apparent after the symptoms of the headache eased a bit.Jing Can sat on the sofa, rolled up the trouser legs of her home clothes, revealing her knees that looked like a mess - although He Pingyi had helped him deal with the broken skin yesterday, after a night, the bruises As it got deeper, the area around the wound looked more permeable.

Jing Can raised his leg, endured the pain and kicked it a few times towards the sky. He didn't get up until his body got used to the pain, and washed the dirty clothes accumulated in the past few days.The afternoon sun was warm, and after drying the clothes, Jing Can lay lazily on the railing, overlooking the small town he was already familiar with.

The sight fell on a corner of the block, where there was a barber shop with very retro decoration, which Jing Can had noticed for a long time.On the glass window of the barber shop, there are five large characters on red stickers, "Mei Mei Barber Shop", the name of the shop is as simple as the decoration.The door of the barber shop is also a wooden door of a style that is no longer available today. The wooden door is old, and there are three-color bars rotating at the door.At first glance, it looks a bit like a storyboard that would appear in comics.

With the last half day left of the holiday, Jing Can stood on the rooftop and hesitated for a long time. Finally, after such a long investigation, Jing Can decided to go to this barber shop for a haircut.

Pushing open the door of the barber shop, there was the sound of wind chimes.Jing Can raised her head and saw a string of rabbit-shaped wind chimes hanging above her head. The white rabbit with a pink face was swaying with the autumn wind.Jing Can stood at the door without moving, and when the wind chimes returned to tranquility, she lightly poked the little rabbit at the bottom with her fingers.

The wind chime made a crisp music again.

"Want to cut your hair? Come in." The boss turned to greet him when he heard the movement at the door.

In contrast to the overly retro appearance of this store is the appearance of the boss - the boss is unexpectedly very young. It seems that his black hair is tied into a low ponytail and tied behind his head, looking gentle and demure.

It should be because the boss's temperament made Jing Can think of Song Yinan all of a sudden. In the familiar aura, Jing Can's tense heart involuntarily relaxed a little.He nodded politely at the boss and smiled back.

There were not many people in the shop, Jing Can only sat on the stool and waited for 5 minutes, then the boss called him to sit in front of the mirror and asked him what kind of hair he wanted to cut.

Looking at her fluffy hair in the mirror, she really didn't feel energetic, so Jing Can turned her head and said to the boss, "Just cut it shorter, just cut it more."

After finishing speaking, Jing Can thought again that He Pingyi always liked to touch his head.Suddenly, he raised a hand to his head and touched himself twice.

"Don't be too short." After feeling it, Jing Can curled up her fingers and said, "It should be a length that feels good to the touch."

After cutting hair for so long, this is the first time the boss has heard such a strange request.

"Feel better?" She saw the boy in the mirror smiling shyly at her, and nodded to her despite his shyness.

"Okay, then I'll give you a haircut, which is energetic and feels good."

Taking off her glasses and wearing a cloth around her, Jing Can closed her eyes to catch the regular "click" sound of scissors in a slightly cluttered environment.

The phone vibrated a few times at this moment, feeling the type of vibration, Jing Can immediately knew that it was He Pingyi who had sent the WeChat message.

The apron in this barber shop is very ordinary, there is no small window for viewing the phone, so Jing Can had to lift up the apron and move her hand out.He turned his eyes down hard, trying to read the information on the screen, but the pain of myopia was very obvious at this time - from such a long distance, he could only see that the screen was bright, as for what was on it , he couldn't see it at all.

Raising her arms higher and higher, Jing Can finally saw the content of the message clearly when she was about to bring the mobile phone close to her eyes.

"You're not home?"

He Pingyi came to look for him?

Didn't you say that you will pick him up before evening self-study?

Although she had doubts in her heart, Jing Can hurriedly typed a few words and told He Pingyi her location.

"Your hair will fall on your clothes like this."

The boss stopped and said with a smile.Jing Can lowered her head, and sure enough, she saw a few fine strands of hair on the clothes, lying crookedly there, very comfortable.

"It's okay." Jing Can smiled, lowered her head and pinched two strands of hair.

"White sweater, it doesn't matter."

The boss insisted on waiting for him to finish sending the message before continuing to cut, so Jing Can was too embarrassed to talk to He Pingyi, so she quickly put away her phone and sat down.

Fortunately, the barber shop was so close to his home, but it was just an effort to calm down, and the wind chimes were already jingling.The bell this time was obviously louder than when he pushed the door, so the person must have come in a hurry than he did just now.

The boss was trimming Jing Can's bangs. Jing Can kept his eyes closed and didn't open them. He only felt that there was a figure in front of him blocking the light, and a gust of cool wind was brought in and hit his face.Strangely, the world without light, gave Jing Can the feeling that it didn't become dark and boundless, but that the surroundings suddenly became quiet, except for the aura of the person in front of him that was amplified until it enveloped him from head to toe.

He Pingyi didn't speak, neither did Jing Can, and Jing Can slowly opened his eyes when he heard the boss say "It's ok".

He Pingyi was blurred in his field of vision, and Jing Can couldn't see his brows and eyes clearly, but he seemed to be able to recognize He Pingyi's smile from the vague outline.On this day when the north wind was blowing the fallen leaves, Jing Can's heart suddenly cleared up because of the blurred figure in front of her eyes.

Surrounded by a white cloth, Jing Can sat on a chair and quietly smiled at He Ping.Perhaps it was because Jing Can's head was only tilted at a small angle, this smile looked a bit reserved, very much like the kind that would appear in an oil painting - the lips only raised a small arc, but the whole picture The emotions expressed are all concentrated on this small arc and those eyes that seem to be full of affection.

He Pingyi's heart skipped a beat.

Jing Can without glasses seems to have always been more lethal to him.

Coughing lightly, he bent down and looked carefully at Jing Can who had a new hairstyle twice, then put his hand on Jing Can's head and rubbed it twice: "It's cut short, it's more handsome."

After finishing speaking, he used two fingers to pinch a piece of hair that fell on the bridge of Jing Can's nose.

He Pingyi behaved as usual, as if nothing happened yesterday, Jing Can felt relieved all of a sudden.

The boss was lowering his head, patiently helping Jing Can brush the broken hair hanging behind his ears with a sponge, when he saw He Pingyi's action, he immediately thought of something.The movements of her hands paused, and she raised her eyebrows, feeling as if she understood where the little customer's strange request just now came from.

Jing Can caught the boss's gaze in the mirror, and hurriedly avoided it as if she had been seen through a secret.

The boss bowed his head and smiled, not revealing or telling the truth.

After leaving the barber shop, He Pingyi asked Jing Can where she was going.Jing Can was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't asked He Pingyi why he came to him.

"What legitimate reason do I need to find you?" He Pingyi wanted to laugh when he heard Jing Can's overly serious question, "I just want to come to accompany you."

A fallen leaf caught Jing Can's face unexpectedly, and he tilted his head to avoid the beat that missed his breath.When He Pingyi called him again, he lowered his glasses, and looked around while pretending to be calm.

"By the way," He Pingyi suddenly bent over slightly, and lightly tapped his thigh with two fingers, "how's the knee?"

Because of her knee injury, Jing Can wore a pair of gray loose sweatpants today.He raised his leg and shook it, showing to He Pingyi: "It doesn't hurt much anymore."

He Pingyi knew what Jing Can's leg was like, and it was impossible for such an injury to heal overnight.

"Okay," He Pingyi pressed down Jing Can's wobbly legs, and taught, "Take a rest. Where else do you want to go? I'll take you there, so you can take a few steps less these two days."

"I want to buy a pen holder," Jing Can told the truth about her plan, "buy a few more pens."

"Success." He Pingyi raised his legs and stepped into the car, raised his chin towards Jing Can, "Let's go, brother will take you there."

The weather was cold, Jing Can sat in the back seat, shrugged her shoulders and shrunk her hands into her sleeves before wrapping her arms around He Pingyi's waist.He Pingyi looked down and saw the empty cuffs, and suddenly thought - this is quite cute.He was taken aback by his own thought, and when he came back to his senses, he heard Jing Can say slowly in the back seat: "It's not necessarily who is bigger than who."

The sun is shining on the deserted path, and the small electric car carries two people, moving forward leisurely.Jing Can tilted her head and leaned her head against He Pingyi's back, as usual, watching the shadows of the two of them stacked together and across the ground.

He Pingyi laughed and said, "I dare not say anything else, but I must be older than you."

"Why?" Jing Can didn't believe it.

"Because I stayed a grade."

"Retention?"

Jing Can was a little surprised. According to what he knew, although He Pingyi was not the kind of person who studied hard, his grades were not so bad, not to mention that he was still in the experimental class, so how bad could his grades be?

He couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "Why did you repeat the grade?"

"I couldn't read any more, so I took a year off." He Pingyi's tone didn't change, and he was still lazy, "I wasn't in this school before, I was in the No. Here."

I can't read it anymore...

"Why can't you read it?"

Although He Pingyi said it casually and normally, Jing Can felt that there was something hidden in it.But he poked his head to ask, but was pushed back by He Pingyi with a smile.

"There are so many reasons, it's just that I don't want to study and don't miss it."

Jing Can saw that He Pingyi didn't seem to want to say more, thinking that she hadn't explained to He Pingyi why she lost her temper yesterday, so she felt embarrassed to continue asking him.

The town is small, and they reached their destination quickly.The stationery store is located next to a junior high school, with a very popular name, "Tao Li Stationery Store". "Tao Li Stationery Store" has a small storefront, but it has a lot of things. The shelves are very full, and Jing Can is dazzled by the various water-based pens on it.

On weekends, there were quite a few people in the store, so He Pingyi leaned sideways against the shelves, and kept Jing Can in an area where no one else would touch her.Seeing Jing Can holding two pens and carefully comparing whether the pattern of tomato or the pattern of apple looks better, He Pingyi couldn't hold back and smiled: "Can't you buy both? You have been struggling for a long time."

Jing Can glanced at him, and put the pen with the tomato pattern back in its place.

"No, I just want the best looking."

"Okay, okay," He Ping nodded repeatedly as if surrendering, "As long as it looks the best."

The car has to be the fastest, and the pen has to be the best looking. No matter how you look at it, it's like a little stubborn donkey would do.

Thinking of this, He Pingyi let out another deep laugh.

Jing Can took a few more pens to study, but when he heard He Pingyi laughing at him again, he stopped his movements and slowly moved his gaze to He Pingyi's face.Seeing that this person really had nothing to do but just stared at him, Jing Can had no choice but to ask, "Don't you need to buy something?"

The person standing crookedly glanced at the other side, raised his hand and took a bag of pens from the partition on the third floor—an ordinary black pen with ten refills.

He Pingyi waved his hand towards Jing Can, meaning that the shopping is over.

Jing Can looked at the one in He Pingyi's hand, then at the one in her own, pursed her lips, and continued to turn her head to pick a pen in silence.

Jing Can walked around the stationery store for more than an hour, and whenever she saw something novel, she would ask He Pingyi what it was for.He Pingyi is really not a person who is interested in stationery stores, he usually just needs a pen, so he doesn't know what some things are.However, Jing Can seems to be very serious about everything, and when encountering something unclear, she must figure it out.He Pingyi had no choice but to get together with Jing Can and study it on the spot.After visiting this stationery store, He Pingyi really experienced the exhaustion of "shopping with his girlfriend" for the first time.

Jing Can finally picked out the pen holder she likes. The pen holder is white and translucent, with uneven lines on the surface. When the sun shines, you can still see some colorful shadows.

Jing Can was very satisfied with this simple-looking but well-designed pen holder. Until the checkout time, she was still holding it against the sun, looking like she couldn't get enough of it.

The light refracted by the pen holder fell on the ground and kept shaking. A little orange cat at the door of the store seemed to see the prey, stared at the ground for a few seconds, then suddenly rubbed its buttocks, and rushed over to catch the spot of nothingness.

Jing Can was taken aback for a moment, then moved his hands to move the spot of light away, and the kitten quickly chased after him.

Repeatedly like this, looking at the kittens playing seriously on the ground, Jing Can couldn't help shaking his head.

Seeing that he was in a daze again, He Pingyi patted his head and asked him: "What are you in a daze for?"

Jing Can looked at He Pingyi, then shook the pen holder in his hand, and continued to tease the kitten.

"Look, it's something that doesn't exist, but it's still having so much fun."

What he said was somewhat pessimistic, He Pingyi slid around Jing Can's face with a searching gaze, and after Jing Can looked away unnaturally, he squatted down and patted the kitten's head .

There were lively discussions among the students around, and in the chaotic environment, Jing Can saw He Pingyi suddenly stretch out his hand, holding the trace of the sun in the palm of his hand.He didn't dare to move anymore, and that bright spot of light was always lying in the palm of He Pingyi's hand, like a beautiful little sun.

Little Sun didn't move, but He Pingyi turned his wrist, letting Little Sun start from the palm of his hand, slide across each fingertip, and then slowly turn back.

He turned around and asked the stunned person behind him, "Did you see it?"

"Huh?" Jing Can reacted slowly, such a simple response was a few beats too late.

He Pingyi said: "This is sunshine, everyone can see it."
