On Sunday, the sun shines into the room through the screen window, and the room as small as a snail shell is filled with sunlight.A ray of sunlight fell on Tumi's eyes, like a natural alarm clock, waking her up.But she didn't know that it was already noon.
Clothes were thrown everywhere, the schoolbag was lying on the desk, the books inside were poured out, some homework sheets were flying on the ground, some were pressed under the schoolbag, one slipper was beside the bed, and the other disappeared.This is Tumi's room.
She sat on the bed with a slipper on one foot and got up to find the other slipper.
Brush your teeth, wash your face, change your clothes, go to the toilet, and so on.After finishing these daily routines, she opened the refrigerator and found that the refrigerator was empty, and there were not a single bag of quick-frozen dumplings in the usual dozens of bags.It's been a long time since I went to the supermarket.
The streets on weekends are much quieter than usual. It is estimated that after a busy week, everyone stays at home and enjoys the air conditioner and iced watermelon.
Carrying her schoolbag, she entered the supermarket, picked up a shopping basket, walked to the freezer familiarly, and put ten bags of dumplings into the basket.After paying, Tumi put the boxes of dumplings into her schoolbag one by one, and walked out of the supermarket.
The chirping of cicadas, the sound of crickets, and the hot asphalt road should be the best proof of summer.Carrying her schoolbag, Tumi was walking home when she accidentally saw a boy walking towards her from the front.The strange thing is that he looks exactly the same as Xia Tian, but his breath and dressing style are very different.
Tumi brushed past him, and in just a few seconds, both of them seemed to recognize each other, and stopped turning their heads at the same time.At this moment, both sides saw each other's face clearly.The boy's fluffy and messy black hair had a few strands of silvery hair in it. Under the summer sun, every strand of hair was very clear.Wearing a black rivet leather jacket and black leather pants, the light gray pupils are also very obvious in the sun.Even though she looks exactly the same as Xia Tian, her temperament is quite different.
Tu Mi approached, and stammered: "Xia... Xia Tian?" His voice was still very soft.The other party didn't seem to hear, with murderous look in his eyes, he grabbed Tumi's hand and dragged her into the alley.
Tu Mi was stunned, but the other party threw herself against the wall.
The two sides stared at each other, how could there be people who looked so similar in the world.
After a long time, the boy said slowly, "Li Ling?" There was some uncertainty in his voice.
"Huh? What did you say?" Tu Mi didn't hear clearly.
No, this person has a completely different temperament from the Li Ling he said.
The boy frowned, looked Tumi up and down, and was about to leave, but Tumi stopped him: "Are you Xia Tian's... twins?"
"I don't know." The boy lowered his voice.
"Even if you don't have the same temperament, you should have something to do with Xia Tian. I haven't seen you in Xia's house." Tu Mi felt that although this person had a bad face, he felt different from a punk.
The boy turned his head and looked at Tumi, "No matter who you are, you'd better stay away from me." The murderous intent in his eyes was still there.
Tumi was puzzled, obviously he was the one who pulled her here, but now she said to stay away from him, she was clearly a weirdo.
The boy lowered his head, took a look at Tumi and walked away.When I was with Xia Tian, I didn't think Xia Tian was handsome. On the contrary, it was this weird guy. Except for the different color of his pupils, he obviously looked the same as Xia Tian.But for some reason, it feels much more handsome than Xia Tian.Damn it, is it an illusion, or a nympho.
"Why are you still here?" Tu Mi hurriedly followed, poked his head, and didn't care about the aura of "don't get close to strangers" from him.
"Why is it you again?" He still looked annoying.
"It's a hot day, why do you walk under the sun?"
The boy said nothing.
"What are you doing here?" Tumi continued to ask.
"None of your business." After finishing speaking, he was about to leave.
"Hey! Just leave as you say." Tumi stood up and shouted.
The boy turned his head and said viciously, "If you don't go, I'll go." If he didn't see her as a threat to him, he would have hit her up long ago.
Seeing him walking faster and faster, Tumi also ran to keep up.
"Hey, you obviously look the same as Xia Tian, but why are you so fierce when Xia Tian is so refined." Tu Mi didn't know that she was actually probing wildly on the verge of danger.
"Don't mention Xia Tian to me." The man stopped, and the murderous look in his eyes became more intense.
Tu Mi suddenly stopped and was stunned, what is the relationship between him and Xia Tian.
"What's the matter in Xia Tian, you broke up with him? You must have something to do with him, how can there be people who look exactly the same in this world." Tu Mi continued to mention.
"..." He continued to move forward.
If he broke up with Xia Tian, then he should not be able to return to Xia's house.
"You don't have a place to go now. If you have a home, why don't you even turn a corner when you walk? It's a coincidence that your home is in a straight line with this supermarket." Although Tu Mi didn't seem to understand anything, but In fact, academically and observation skills are very strong.
The boy stopped again and shouted at Tumi: "What are you doing?" Tumi still ignored his anger and said with a smile: "Why don't you come home with me. I just bought dumplings, I'll make it for you to eat." Tumi's old habit of meddling in other people's affairs is repeated.
Is she a fool?Take any boy home with you.When the boy reacted, Tumi took his hand and said "Let's go".
It's strange to say that the last person who touched him seemed to be killed by him with one blow, and disappeared.But the girl's hand seemed to be warm, and it felt good.
Walking and walking, Tumi came to the door of the house, and turned the key to open the door.
"Here we are." Tumi pushed open the door.
Can such a messy and disorderly room really accommodate people?
"Although my house is small and messy, it feels like home." Tumi put her schoolbag on the ground.
The boy didn't go in, he just looked at the house like a snail shell in a daze. He had never seen such a mess in a girl's house.
"Sit down, I'll make dumplings for you." Tu Mi took out dumplings from her schoolbag.
Maybe it was really hungry, or maybe it was because the child wanted to play, so he played with her.The boy finally came through the door and sat on a chair.
"My name is Tumi. Tumi is in full bloom. It's just that my character is missing a cursive initial. What's your name?" Tumi walked to the kitchen and asked while tearing open the dumpling package. .
"Didn't you say I am Xia Tian?"
Tumi smiled and said: "I didn't say that, although I don't know what happened between you and Xia Tian, but I can be sure that you are definitely not Xia Tian." His tone was full of firmness.
"Are you a power walker, don't you have a surname?"
Tu Mi felt strange, how did he know that he had a power index.
Seeing Tumi was stunned, he said again: "I can feel your power index, the summer you mentioned was also a power walker, and so were you."
"Why do I feel like you know everything..." Tumi whispered, "Hey, you're talking about the topic again, and you haven't said what your name is yet."
The boy froze, and said after a long time: "Zack."
Tumi stopped the hand that was pouring dumplings into the pot, and looked at the boy.
"An...English name? Don't you have a Chinese name?" Tu Mi was puzzled.
"As early as seven years ago, I didn't have a name." He murmured, Tumi didn't hear him at all.Seeing that Zack was silent, Tumi didn't ask any more questions.
The pot boiled, and the dumplings floated to the surface one by one. Tumi took a colander and scooped the dumplings into two bowls one by one.
"The dumplings are here." Tumi held a bowl of dumplings in one hand and put them on the table, "I'll get the chopsticks."
Tumi sat down with chopsticks, put a pair of chopsticks next to Zack, and immediately started eating.I saw this seemingly fashionable boy without chopsticks for a long time.
Zack didn't know how long it had been since he had warm food.
"Why don't you eat it?" Tumi asked after eating two dumplings.
"This is... chopsticks?" Zack asked holding the two sticks in front of him.
Tumi was stunned again, he doesn't know how to use chopsticks at his age?
"You don't know how to use chopsticks, do you?" Tumi was surprised.
"I used it before, but I just forgot." Zack insisted.
"I'll teach you." Tumi didn't hesitate, her right hand landed on the chopsticks, and her left hand landed on Zack's right hand.The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was so quiet that the ticking of the wall clock could be heard.
A few seconds later, Tumi let go of his hand and said, "You...you see how I use it." Since it's too embarrassing to teach him by hand, let's demonstrate it to him.Tumi held the chopsticks and picked up a dumpling.
"Do you understand?"
Zack didn't speak, he tried it himself, but found that he still didn't learn it, and couldn't clamp it at all.
"Otherwise you..." Before Tumi finished speaking, Zack ate the dumplings with his hands and said, "Trouble."
That's fine too, whatever he wants.
As the dumplings in the bowl became less and less, Tumi asked: "Hey, what's your relationship with Xia Tian?" She seemed to have forgotten that Zack didn't want to mention Xia Tian.
"I don't want to say it." After finishing speaking, Zack ate the last dumpling, he got up and walked to the door, said "I owe you a favor", opened the door and left after speaking.
He left as soon as he said that he owed a favor, and he didn't know if we would see each other again in the future, so how could he repay the favor?The more Tu Mi thought about it, the more strange he felt.
Tumi's life is like a computer program, without accidents, variables, or surprises, but Zack is an exception.
Monday, the start of a week of nightmares.
The Xia family never found the fire ant girl, but life never waits for anyone.It just happens, it just goes on, it never stops.
Tumi was walking in the corridor of the second year of high school, when Xia Yu appeared and stopped her: "Tumi."
"Xia Yu, good morning." Tumi smiled.
"Did you have a good weekend?"
"Very...very good." Except for meeting a strange person, everything else is fine.
"Have you seen Fire Ant Girl?" Xia Yu asked suddenly.
"No, what's the matter?" Tu Mi still didn't know about the disappearance of Fire Ant Girl.
"She's gone." Xia Yu told the truth.
Tumi stroked the belt of her schoolbag, "Don't worry, I've also helped you find it recently, and you can always find it."
"Thank you. Well, do you have something to do after school today? My mother likes you very much, and now that the fire ant girl is not here, she invites you to my house for dinner." Xia Yu gradually began to stammer.
Tumi agreed, it's fine to go home anyway.
Seeing Tumi agree, Xia Yu smiled and said, "Then I will come to your class to find you after school today."
"Okay. By the way, you three brothers and sisters are in the same school. Don't you go home together after school?"
"Who wants to go home with those two idiots? We all go home separately."
"It's the first time I've heard someone say that about my younger siblings." Tu Mi laughed.
The familiar school bell rang again.
As soon as the school bell rang, the people in the class evaporated instantly and rushed out.Tumi packed her schoolbag, Xia Yu was already waiting for her at the door.
"Thank you for waiting for me, let's go." Tumi carried her schoolbag and walked to the door.
The two were walking on the road. Although it was not the first time to visit Xia's house, they were still a little nervous.
"Are you nervous?" Xia Yu looked at Tumi with a tense face.
"A bit, but it's okay."
"Don't be nervous, haven't you been here before?" In fact, Tumi didn't know why he was nervous.
After arriving, Xia Yu opened the door.
"Tumi, we meet again." Xia Xiong was still enthusiastic.
Tumi changed her shoes, stroked her schoolbag and said, "Hello, Mama Xia." Xia Mei also came down the stairs when she heard the movement.
"Brother, this is my friend, you hooked up so soon." Xia Tian looked like his girlfriend was robbed.
Although I know that Xia Tian and Zack are two people, it still feels weird to see Xia Tian after knowing Zack.
"The meal will be ready soon." Xia Xiong poked his head from the kitchen with a spatula.
"Tumi, my two elder brothers are not reliable, but I know a lot of handsome guys, let me introduce you." Xia Mei took Tumi's hand.
"Sister, don't sow discord there." Xia Yu pinched Xia Mei's ear.
"Dinner is ready." Xia Xiong took out the dishes one by one, looked at the table full of dishes, and sat down with satisfaction.
It was this familiar scene again, but this time, only the fire ant girl was missing.
This time the dishes taste much better than last time, at least not so salty.
"Tumi, I hope you can do us a favor." Xia Xiong said.
"Mother Xia, I will do what I can."
"That's it, Fire Ant Girl, that long-haired girl sitting next to Xia Yu when you came last time, she is missing. I want you to help find her too."
"Xia Yu told me, I will pay attention to her."
Xia Xiong nodded with a smile, as if to thank him.
No matter what the food is, Tumi has been eating dumplings almost all her life, and other dishes are delicious to her.
Judging from the expressions of the three brothers and sisters of the Xia family, they still don't like the dishes cooked by Xia Xiong, and the whole table is basically eaten by Tumi.There was nothing left on the plate.
The plate was empty, and Tumi bid farewell to the Xia family.
"I'll take it to you." Xia Yu said after putting the plate in the kitchen.
"No need, my house is very close, don't bother it's so late, see you at school tomorrow." Tumi waved her hand.
On summer nights, if you are lucky, you can hear the wind, and if you are super lucky, you can find one or two fireflies in the grass.
Tumi's house is in a small alley, you can only see it after turning a corner.
Tumi turned a corner, thinking about the disappearance of the fire ant girl.When he got home, he looked for the keys in his schoolbag, and when he looked up, he saw Zack sitting on the steps of his house.
"You...why did you just leave yesterday?" Tumi stammered again.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm really bored, you're here is quieter, that's why I came here." Zack duplicity, in fact, he has no place to go, the only place he knows is here.
"I'm sorry, I had dinner with my friends today and I came back late. If I knew you would come, I should have come back sooner."
"Didn't I say, I'm not waiting for you." Zack's tone was still cold.
Tumi stuffed the keys into her pocket and sat next to Zack.
"What are you doing?" Zack moved a little to the side.
"I look at the stars, it's none of your business." Tumi began to imitate Zack's words.
"..."
For some reason, I always feel that this Zack is not that simple, why he looks the same as Xia Tian, why he doesn't have a name, why he seemed to know her when we first met, these are all problems.Tumi propped her elbows on her knees, resting her head on her hands, thinking.The air is quiet, the other animals are asleep, only the cicada is still barking day and night.
"How come you can't even use chopsticks?" Tumi interrupted with a cicada sound.
Zack glanced at Tumi, then looked up at the stars, without saying a word.
"I'm out of curiosity, who are you?" Tumi's purpose is to get answers to any questions.
Zack looked at Tumi again, his eyes indifferent.
"I said, you don't understand either." He said lightly.
"How is it possible? Don't look at me blankly. I'm a gifted sophomore in high school. I'm the ultimate high school sophomore who won a scholarship, Tumi." Tumi said playfully.
Zack looked into Tumi's eyes: "You won't understand."
Tumi put her hands on her knees and said, "Tell me, I don't know anything except that your name is Zack, but I want to know more."
"Don't I only know your name?" Zack's tone was still indifferent.
Tu Mi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let me tell you who I am. I am a practitioner of supernatural powers, but I basically don't need supernatural powers. My full name is Tu Luolinsi Mi, and it is passed down from generation to generation in my family. Passed away. Under the band-aid on the face was beaten by a gangster, I will cover the scar with a band-aid."
Zack raised his legs, put his hands behind his back and said, "Are you a fool? Talking so many personal things to a strange boy."
"You are not a stranger, right? To me, I am no longer a stranger after knowing the name and talking to each other."
Zack said after silence: "Then what are we?"
Tu Mi was also silent, but immediately said: "We can be considered friends."
friend?Would anyone really dare to be friends with him?
To Zack, he is lonely, withdrawn, neglected, underappreciated, and a freak in the eyes of others.But at this moment, he felt that only Tumi was the proof that he was alive.
"Whatever you want." After saying that, Zack left.
Strange, and left as soon as he said it, Tumi stood up and stomped his feet in dissatisfaction.
An old man was hiding somewhere in the woods, as if he knew Zack would pass by.
"Zack." The old man said in the dark.
Zack crossed his arms and said in a low voice, "What?"
The old man walked towards him, took out the photo of the head of the Beicheng Guards, and said, "Kill him."
Zack took the photo, left without saying a word, and the old man also disappeared in the dark.
Summer, a season of long days and short nights.The missing person notice posted next to the Xia family mansion gradually fell off under the sunlight.
Tumi woke up, remembering sitting at the door with Zack blowing the evening breeze last night.After chatting with him for a while, I found that she still didn't know anything about him, but instead sold a bunch of information about herself.
Big loss.
The lunch break in Ultimate High School is very long, and there is an hour for lunch and free activities.
Tumi came to the playground with a lunch box, and sat down in a remote place in the stands.Eating dumplings, blowing the wind, watching the boys on the playground play football, this should be the happiest time of Tumi's day.
Tumi opened the lunch box and picked up the hard dumplings with chopsticks, only to see three punks coming up the stairs next to her.That's right, if they stopped bullying, Tumi would feel that something was missing.
"Last time it was your luck. There was a man who helped you. Unexpectedly, you can get a boyfriend." The little gangster in the middle said, "But we have seen it today. Your boyfriend is now Not here."
Tumi bowed her head and remained silent.
The little gangster seemed very dissatisfied with the silent Tumi, he pulled up her collar, and the lunch box on her lap fell.
"I'm talking to you, why pretend to be deaf?"
With a "da", one hand was firmly on the little gangster's arm.
Z...Zack?
He looked at Tumi's hand, and then at the little gangster, staring at him with unruly eyes, exuding an infinite sense of oppression, the little gangster swallowed.
"Get your dirty hands off." Zack raised his eyebrows and said harshly.
The little gangster took it away gently, and Zack let go of it.
Tu Mi just watched, her mind went blank.Before she could react, the little gangster had already left.
"Hi." His voice was extremely low.
"Ah?" Tumi was like waking up from a dream.
"Are you an idiot, you were bullied so casually at school."
"Anyway, a beating won't solve it."
"Being beaten?" Zack sneered, "Look at the Band-Aid on your body, it's more than just a beating."
"..." Tu Mi had nothing to say.
"Aren't you a power walker, you don't even fight back when they bully you like this?"
"But they don't have abilities. I can't just use them casually." Tumi paused for a while, "Hey, why are you here?" Tumi realized.
Zack looked disdainful: "Your poor school has poor security, anyone can enter, I walked in openly." He looked at the lunch box on the ground.
"..." The embarrassed Tumi started to squat down to pick up the lunch box, but luckily the dumplings didn't fall out.Zack just squatted down at the same time, and his hands fell on the lunch box.The two looked at each other for one second, two seconds, three seconds, until Zack stood up.
"Then how do you know that I study in this school?" Tu Mi picked up the lunch box, stood up and asked.
"Intuition." Zack looked into the distance, in fact, she had slipped the truth to him before, but this idiot forgot.
The two sat down.
"If you don't have a place to live, you can come to live at my house." Tumi blurted out, still a little bit unconscious, unconscious.
"Your small place can accommodate two people?" Zack looked disgusted.
Tumi looked at Zack's disgusted face, and a "cross" for anger appeared on his forehead.
"I... I'm going back to the classroom." Tumi took the lunch box and left, in fact, there was still a long time before class.
Zack sat where he was, without thinking, this Tumi is a fool.
After school in summer, although it is evening, the sun has not completely set in the dark blue sky.There are a few clouds floating in the sky, covering the only remaining sunlight, and there are a few shining stars walking on the asphalt road.This scene is a gift from nature to us.
If Zack was a friend, maybe he would come to the house like yesterday.Tumi was the same as yesterday, sitting on the steps in front of the house.She bet, bet Zack would come.
Waking up too early in the morning, Tumi yawned and fell asleep leaning against the wall involuntarily.There was a sound of footsteps slowly approaching, she bet right.
Zack walked up the steps, squatted down and carefully looked at Tumi's sleeping face, seeing each of her eyelashes clearly, she really looked exactly like Li Ling.If it weren't for the Band-Aid on her face, she would definitely look good.
Is she really waiting for herself, Zack wondered.
Zack saw the schoolbag next to him, he opened it and started looking for the keys.After opening the door and turning on the light, he put the schoolbag into the house.Then he walked out of the house, picked up Tumi, and put her on the bed.
The air froze, and Zack sat outside, on the same steps.After a long time, Tumi came out without closing the door.
"I knew you would come." Tumi broke the silence and sat next to Zack.
"I have nowhere to go, I just come here to play with you."
"Cut." Tumi pouted, "Although I don't know you well, I always feel that you are not simple." Tumi began to find something to talk about.
"Besides being often bullied by punks, have you ever been beaten?" Zack answered irrelevantly.
After being silent, Tumi said, "No..."
Zack didn't believe Tumi's answer, and continued: "Those scumbags who only bully girls just take your lunch, but don't hit you. Even if they hit you, they won't leave you with scars with their little ability, right?"
This person seems to have a pair of clairvoyant eyes, nothing can be hidden from him.
"Yes." Tu Mi said truthfully, "My scar...was...my mother punched me."
"Your mother still beats you?" For some reason, there seemed to be a little anger in his voice.
"It's all in the past. I've already moved out alone."
"It's a doormat at school, and it's the same at home. Only you, a fool, can be beaten for nothing."
Tu Mi is not serious at all: "Sometimes, endurance is also an advantage."
Feeling that we can't continue talking about this topic, Tumi thinks of a new topic.
Tumi stroked her hair and said, "Hey, do you know Tumi flowers?"
"I'm not interested in flowers."
Tumi happily walked to a flower tree on the right, touched a white flower and said, "Isn't this flower beautiful?" Then she picked the flower.
"Don't think the white flowers are ugly, that's because they just bloomed. Although they have no color, they have a faint fragrance." Tumi took the flowers and went back to the steps, "I'll give it to you." Tumi sat down while handing over flowers. Zack looked at the flowers with mixed feelings.
"What do I want these flowers for? It's useless." Zack said indifferently.
But Tumi stuffed the flower into Zack's hand, and said: "You take it, anyway, we realize that there is no meeting gift now, so I will send you a flower."
"up to you."
Tumi still kept a bright smile. "Do you know? I planted this twig tree the first day I moved out of the Trollins house, and it just so happened that it bloomed today. Don't look at it now, it will turn white after a while. Pretty in pink or red."
Zack twirled the flowers in his hand, in fact, the white color is quite beautiful.Pure, simple, simple, just like her.
"Are you staying at my house tonight or...?" Tumi asked seeing that it was getting late.
Zack raised his eyebrows, "You can rest assured that I live in your house?"
"I don't think you're a bad person, even though you look disgusted. Besides, I don't have anything to steal except homework, so it's okay." Tumi thought it didn't matter.
"Row."
"Ah?" Tumi was distracted, "Oh, oh, okay." Then he smiled again.
They walked back to the room, Tumi felt embarrassed for the first time, still embarrassed because her room was messy.As soon as she entered the door, she put all the homework sheets scattered on the floor on the desk.
"It's a bit messy." Tumi put the schoolbag next to the bed again.
Zack looked around, seeing that there was only one bed in the entire room.
"It's not enough for one person to live in such a small place." Zack still disliked it.
"It's okay, you sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the table. Sometimes I'm too sleepy during recess, that's how I sleep." Tumi said lightly.
"I'm used to sleeping on the floor." Zack's answer surprised Tumi.
"On the ground? How can you sleep on the hard and cold ground?"
When Tumi turned around, Zack was already lying on the ground with his eyes closed.
Tumi looked at him, and threw him a pillow from the bed.
"At least get a pillow to sleep on..."
Clothes were thrown everywhere, the schoolbag was lying on the desk, the books inside were poured out, some homework sheets were flying on the ground, some were pressed under the schoolbag, one slipper was beside the bed, and the other disappeared.This is Tumi's room.
She sat on the bed with a slipper on one foot and got up to find the other slipper.
Brush your teeth, wash your face, change your clothes, go to the toilet, and so on.After finishing these daily routines, she opened the refrigerator and found that the refrigerator was empty, and there were not a single bag of quick-frozen dumplings in the usual dozens of bags.It's been a long time since I went to the supermarket.
The streets on weekends are much quieter than usual. It is estimated that after a busy week, everyone stays at home and enjoys the air conditioner and iced watermelon.
Carrying her schoolbag, she entered the supermarket, picked up a shopping basket, walked to the freezer familiarly, and put ten bags of dumplings into the basket.After paying, Tumi put the boxes of dumplings into her schoolbag one by one, and walked out of the supermarket.
The chirping of cicadas, the sound of crickets, and the hot asphalt road should be the best proof of summer.Carrying her schoolbag, Tumi was walking home when she accidentally saw a boy walking towards her from the front.The strange thing is that he looks exactly the same as Xia Tian, but his breath and dressing style are very different.
Tumi brushed past him, and in just a few seconds, both of them seemed to recognize each other, and stopped turning their heads at the same time.At this moment, both sides saw each other's face clearly.The boy's fluffy and messy black hair had a few strands of silvery hair in it. Under the summer sun, every strand of hair was very clear.Wearing a black rivet leather jacket and black leather pants, the light gray pupils are also very obvious in the sun.Even though she looks exactly the same as Xia Tian, her temperament is quite different.
Tu Mi approached, and stammered: "Xia... Xia Tian?" His voice was still very soft.The other party didn't seem to hear, with murderous look in his eyes, he grabbed Tumi's hand and dragged her into the alley.
Tu Mi was stunned, but the other party threw herself against the wall.
The two sides stared at each other, how could there be people who looked so similar in the world.
After a long time, the boy said slowly, "Li Ling?" There was some uncertainty in his voice.
"Huh? What did you say?" Tu Mi didn't hear clearly.
No, this person has a completely different temperament from the Li Ling he said.
The boy frowned, looked Tumi up and down, and was about to leave, but Tumi stopped him: "Are you Xia Tian's... twins?"
"I don't know." The boy lowered his voice.
"Even if you don't have the same temperament, you should have something to do with Xia Tian. I haven't seen you in Xia's house." Tu Mi felt that although this person had a bad face, he felt different from a punk.
The boy turned his head and looked at Tumi, "No matter who you are, you'd better stay away from me." The murderous intent in his eyes was still there.
Tumi was puzzled, obviously he was the one who pulled her here, but now she said to stay away from him, she was clearly a weirdo.
The boy lowered his head, took a look at Tumi and walked away.When I was with Xia Tian, I didn't think Xia Tian was handsome. On the contrary, it was this weird guy. Except for the different color of his pupils, he obviously looked the same as Xia Tian.But for some reason, it feels much more handsome than Xia Tian.Damn it, is it an illusion, or a nympho.
"Why are you still here?" Tu Mi hurriedly followed, poked his head, and didn't care about the aura of "don't get close to strangers" from him.
"Why is it you again?" He still looked annoying.
"It's a hot day, why do you walk under the sun?"
The boy said nothing.
"What are you doing here?" Tumi continued to ask.
"None of your business." After finishing speaking, he was about to leave.
"Hey! Just leave as you say." Tumi stood up and shouted.
The boy turned his head and said viciously, "If you don't go, I'll go." If he didn't see her as a threat to him, he would have hit her up long ago.
Seeing him walking faster and faster, Tumi also ran to keep up.
"Hey, you obviously look the same as Xia Tian, but why are you so fierce when Xia Tian is so refined." Tu Mi didn't know that she was actually probing wildly on the verge of danger.
"Don't mention Xia Tian to me." The man stopped, and the murderous look in his eyes became more intense.
Tu Mi suddenly stopped and was stunned, what is the relationship between him and Xia Tian.
"What's the matter in Xia Tian, you broke up with him? You must have something to do with him, how can there be people who look exactly the same in this world." Tu Mi continued to mention.
"..." He continued to move forward.
If he broke up with Xia Tian, then he should not be able to return to Xia's house.
"You don't have a place to go now. If you have a home, why don't you even turn a corner when you walk? It's a coincidence that your home is in a straight line with this supermarket." Although Tu Mi didn't seem to understand anything, but In fact, academically and observation skills are very strong.
The boy stopped again and shouted at Tumi: "What are you doing?" Tumi still ignored his anger and said with a smile: "Why don't you come home with me. I just bought dumplings, I'll make it for you to eat." Tumi's old habit of meddling in other people's affairs is repeated.
Is she a fool?Take any boy home with you.When the boy reacted, Tumi took his hand and said "Let's go".
It's strange to say that the last person who touched him seemed to be killed by him with one blow, and disappeared.But the girl's hand seemed to be warm, and it felt good.
Walking and walking, Tumi came to the door of the house, and turned the key to open the door.
"Here we are." Tumi pushed open the door.
Can such a messy and disorderly room really accommodate people?
"Although my house is small and messy, it feels like home." Tumi put her schoolbag on the ground.
The boy didn't go in, he just looked at the house like a snail shell in a daze. He had never seen such a mess in a girl's house.
"Sit down, I'll make dumplings for you." Tu Mi took out dumplings from her schoolbag.
Maybe it was really hungry, or maybe it was because the child wanted to play, so he played with her.The boy finally came through the door and sat on a chair.
"My name is Tumi. Tumi is in full bloom. It's just that my character is missing a cursive initial. What's your name?" Tumi walked to the kitchen and asked while tearing open the dumpling package. .
"Didn't you say I am Xia Tian?"
Tumi smiled and said: "I didn't say that, although I don't know what happened between you and Xia Tian, but I can be sure that you are definitely not Xia Tian." His tone was full of firmness.
"Are you a power walker, don't you have a surname?"
Tu Mi felt strange, how did he know that he had a power index.
Seeing Tumi was stunned, he said again: "I can feel your power index, the summer you mentioned was also a power walker, and so were you."
"Why do I feel like you know everything..." Tumi whispered, "Hey, you're talking about the topic again, and you haven't said what your name is yet."
The boy froze, and said after a long time: "Zack."
Tumi stopped the hand that was pouring dumplings into the pot, and looked at the boy.
"An...English name? Don't you have a Chinese name?" Tu Mi was puzzled.
"As early as seven years ago, I didn't have a name." He murmured, Tumi didn't hear him at all.Seeing that Zack was silent, Tumi didn't ask any more questions.
The pot boiled, and the dumplings floated to the surface one by one. Tumi took a colander and scooped the dumplings into two bowls one by one.
"The dumplings are here." Tumi held a bowl of dumplings in one hand and put them on the table, "I'll get the chopsticks."
Tumi sat down with chopsticks, put a pair of chopsticks next to Zack, and immediately started eating.I saw this seemingly fashionable boy without chopsticks for a long time.
Zack didn't know how long it had been since he had warm food.
"Why don't you eat it?" Tumi asked after eating two dumplings.
"This is... chopsticks?" Zack asked holding the two sticks in front of him.
Tumi was stunned again, he doesn't know how to use chopsticks at his age?
"You don't know how to use chopsticks, do you?" Tumi was surprised.
"I used it before, but I just forgot." Zack insisted.
"I'll teach you." Tumi didn't hesitate, her right hand landed on the chopsticks, and her left hand landed on Zack's right hand.The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was so quiet that the ticking of the wall clock could be heard.
A few seconds later, Tumi let go of his hand and said, "You...you see how I use it." Since it's too embarrassing to teach him by hand, let's demonstrate it to him.Tumi held the chopsticks and picked up a dumpling.
"Do you understand?"
Zack didn't speak, he tried it himself, but found that he still didn't learn it, and couldn't clamp it at all.
"Otherwise you..." Before Tumi finished speaking, Zack ate the dumplings with his hands and said, "Trouble."
That's fine too, whatever he wants.
As the dumplings in the bowl became less and less, Tumi asked: "Hey, what's your relationship with Xia Tian?" She seemed to have forgotten that Zack didn't want to mention Xia Tian.
"I don't want to say it." After finishing speaking, Zack ate the last dumpling, he got up and walked to the door, said "I owe you a favor", opened the door and left after speaking.
He left as soon as he said that he owed a favor, and he didn't know if we would see each other again in the future, so how could he repay the favor?The more Tu Mi thought about it, the more strange he felt.
Tumi's life is like a computer program, without accidents, variables, or surprises, but Zack is an exception.
Monday, the start of a week of nightmares.
The Xia family never found the fire ant girl, but life never waits for anyone.It just happens, it just goes on, it never stops.
Tumi was walking in the corridor of the second year of high school, when Xia Yu appeared and stopped her: "Tumi."
"Xia Yu, good morning." Tumi smiled.
"Did you have a good weekend?"
"Very...very good." Except for meeting a strange person, everything else is fine.
"Have you seen Fire Ant Girl?" Xia Yu asked suddenly.
"No, what's the matter?" Tu Mi still didn't know about the disappearance of Fire Ant Girl.
"She's gone." Xia Yu told the truth.
Tumi stroked the belt of her schoolbag, "Don't worry, I've also helped you find it recently, and you can always find it."
"Thank you. Well, do you have something to do after school today? My mother likes you very much, and now that the fire ant girl is not here, she invites you to my house for dinner." Xia Yu gradually began to stammer.
Tumi agreed, it's fine to go home anyway.
Seeing Tumi agree, Xia Yu smiled and said, "Then I will come to your class to find you after school today."
"Okay. By the way, you three brothers and sisters are in the same school. Don't you go home together after school?"
"Who wants to go home with those two idiots? We all go home separately."
"It's the first time I've heard someone say that about my younger siblings." Tu Mi laughed.
The familiar school bell rang again.
As soon as the school bell rang, the people in the class evaporated instantly and rushed out.Tumi packed her schoolbag, Xia Yu was already waiting for her at the door.
"Thank you for waiting for me, let's go." Tumi carried her schoolbag and walked to the door.
The two were walking on the road. Although it was not the first time to visit Xia's house, they were still a little nervous.
"Are you nervous?" Xia Yu looked at Tumi with a tense face.
"A bit, but it's okay."
"Don't be nervous, haven't you been here before?" In fact, Tumi didn't know why he was nervous.
After arriving, Xia Yu opened the door.
"Tumi, we meet again." Xia Xiong was still enthusiastic.
Tumi changed her shoes, stroked her schoolbag and said, "Hello, Mama Xia." Xia Mei also came down the stairs when she heard the movement.
"Brother, this is my friend, you hooked up so soon." Xia Tian looked like his girlfriend was robbed.
Although I know that Xia Tian and Zack are two people, it still feels weird to see Xia Tian after knowing Zack.
"The meal will be ready soon." Xia Xiong poked his head from the kitchen with a spatula.
"Tumi, my two elder brothers are not reliable, but I know a lot of handsome guys, let me introduce you." Xia Mei took Tumi's hand.
"Sister, don't sow discord there." Xia Yu pinched Xia Mei's ear.
"Dinner is ready." Xia Xiong took out the dishes one by one, looked at the table full of dishes, and sat down with satisfaction.
It was this familiar scene again, but this time, only the fire ant girl was missing.
This time the dishes taste much better than last time, at least not so salty.
"Tumi, I hope you can do us a favor." Xia Xiong said.
"Mother Xia, I will do what I can."
"That's it, Fire Ant Girl, that long-haired girl sitting next to Xia Yu when you came last time, she is missing. I want you to help find her too."
"Xia Yu told me, I will pay attention to her."
Xia Xiong nodded with a smile, as if to thank him.
No matter what the food is, Tumi has been eating dumplings almost all her life, and other dishes are delicious to her.
Judging from the expressions of the three brothers and sisters of the Xia family, they still don't like the dishes cooked by Xia Xiong, and the whole table is basically eaten by Tumi.There was nothing left on the plate.
The plate was empty, and Tumi bid farewell to the Xia family.
"I'll take it to you." Xia Yu said after putting the plate in the kitchen.
"No need, my house is very close, don't bother it's so late, see you at school tomorrow." Tumi waved her hand.
On summer nights, if you are lucky, you can hear the wind, and if you are super lucky, you can find one or two fireflies in the grass.
Tumi's house is in a small alley, you can only see it after turning a corner.
Tumi turned a corner, thinking about the disappearance of the fire ant girl.When he got home, he looked for the keys in his schoolbag, and when he looked up, he saw Zack sitting on the steps of his house.
"You...why did you just leave yesterday?" Tumi stammered again.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm really bored, you're here is quieter, that's why I came here." Zack duplicity, in fact, he has no place to go, the only place he knows is here.
"I'm sorry, I had dinner with my friends today and I came back late. If I knew you would come, I should have come back sooner."
"Didn't I say, I'm not waiting for you." Zack's tone was still cold.
Tumi stuffed the keys into her pocket and sat next to Zack.
"What are you doing?" Zack moved a little to the side.
"I look at the stars, it's none of your business." Tumi began to imitate Zack's words.
"..."
For some reason, I always feel that this Zack is not that simple, why he looks the same as Xia Tian, why he doesn't have a name, why he seemed to know her when we first met, these are all problems.Tumi propped her elbows on her knees, resting her head on her hands, thinking.The air is quiet, the other animals are asleep, only the cicada is still barking day and night.
"How come you can't even use chopsticks?" Tumi interrupted with a cicada sound.
Zack glanced at Tumi, then looked up at the stars, without saying a word.
"I'm out of curiosity, who are you?" Tumi's purpose is to get answers to any questions.
Zack looked at Tumi again, his eyes indifferent.
"I said, you don't understand either." He said lightly.
"How is it possible? Don't look at me blankly. I'm a gifted sophomore in high school. I'm the ultimate high school sophomore who won a scholarship, Tumi." Tumi said playfully.
Zack looked into Tumi's eyes: "You won't understand."
Tumi put her hands on her knees and said, "Tell me, I don't know anything except that your name is Zack, but I want to know more."
"Don't I only know your name?" Zack's tone was still indifferent.
Tu Mi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let me tell you who I am. I am a practitioner of supernatural powers, but I basically don't need supernatural powers. My full name is Tu Luolinsi Mi, and it is passed down from generation to generation in my family. Passed away. Under the band-aid on the face was beaten by a gangster, I will cover the scar with a band-aid."
Zack raised his legs, put his hands behind his back and said, "Are you a fool? Talking so many personal things to a strange boy."
"You are not a stranger, right? To me, I am no longer a stranger after knowing the name and talking to each other."
Zack said after silence: "Then what are we?"
Tu Mi was also silent, but immediately said: "We can be considered friends."
friend?Would anyone really dare to be friends with him?
To Zack, he is lonely, withdrawn, neglected, underappreciated, and a freak in the eyes of others.But at this moment, he felt that only Tumi was the proof that he was alive.
"Whatever you want." After saying that, Zack left.
Strange, and left as soon as he said it, Tumi stood up and stomped his feet in dissatisfaction.
An old man was hiding somewhere in the woods, as if he knew Zack would pass by.
"Zack." The old man said in the dark.
Zack crossed his arms and said in a low voice, "What?"
The old man walked towards him, took out the photo of the head of the Beicheng Guards, and said, "Kill him."
Zack took the photo, left without saying a word, and the old man also disappeared in the dark.
Summer, a season of long days and short nights.The missing person notice posted next to the Xia family mansion gradually fell off under the sunlight.
Tumi woke up, remembering sitting at the door with Zack blowing the evening breeze last night.After chatting with him for a while, I found that she still didn't know anything about him, but instead sold a bunch of information about herself.
Big loss.
The lunch break in Ultimate High School is very long, and there is an hour for lunch and free activities.
Tumi came to the playground with a lunch box, and sat down in a remote place in the stands.Eating dumplings, blowing the wind, watching the boys on the playground play football, this should be the happiest time of Tumi's day.
Tumi opened the lunch box and picked up the hard dumplings with chopsticks, only to see three punks coming up the stairs next to her.That's right, if they stopped bullying, Tumi would feel that something was missing.
"Last time it was your luck. There was a man who helped you. Unexpectedly, you can get a boyfriend." The little gangster in the middle said, "But we have seen it today. Your boyfriend is now Not here."
Tumi bowed her head and remained silent.
The little gangster seemed very dissatisfied with the silent Tumi, he pulled up her collar, and the lunch box on her lap fell.
"I'm talking to you, why pretend to be deaf?"
With a "da", one hand was firmly on the little gangster's arm.
Z...Zack?
He looked at Tumi's hand, and then at the little gangster, staring at him with unruly eyes, exuding an infinite sense of oppression, the little gangster swallowed.
"Get your dirty hands off." Zack raised his eyebrows and said harshly.
The little gangster took it away gently, and Zack let go of it.
Tu Mi just watched, her mind went blank.Before she could react, the little gangster had already left.
"Hi." His voice was extremely low.
"Ah?" Tumi was like waking up from a dream.
"Are you an idiot, you were bullied so casually at school."
"Anyway, a beating won't solve it."
"Being beaten?" Zack sneered, "Look at the Band-Aid on your body, it's more than just a beating."
"..." Tu Mi had nothing to say.
"Aren't you a power walker, you don't even fight back when they bully you like this?"
"But they don't have abilities. I can't just use them casually." Tumi paused for a while, "Hey, why are you here?" Tumi realized.
Zack looked disdainful: "Your poor school has poor security, anyone can enter, I walked in openly." He looked at the lunch box on the ground.
"..." The embarrassed Tumi started to squat down to pick up the lunch box, but luckily the dumplings didn't fall out.Zack just squatted down at the same time, and his hands fell on the lunch box.The two looked at each other for one second, two seconds, three seconds, until Zack stood up.
"Then how do you know that I study in this school?" Tu Mi picked up the lunch box, stood up and asked.
"Intuition." Zack looked into the distance, in fact, she had slipped the truth to him before, but this idiot forgot.
The two sat down.
"If you don't have a place to live, you can come to live at my house." Tumi blurted out, still a little bit unconscious, unconscious.
"Your small place can accommodate two people?" Zack looked disgusted.
Tumi looked at Zack's disgusted face, and a "cross" for anger appeared on his forehead.
"I... I'm going back to the classroom." Tumi took the lunch box and left, in fact, there was still a long time before class.
Zack sat where he was, without thinking, this Tumi is a fool.
After school in summer, although it is evening, the sun has not completely set in the dark blue sky.There are a few clouds floating in the sky, covering the only remaining sunlight, and there are a few shining stars walking on the asphalt road.This scene is a gift from nature to us.
If Zack was a friend, maybe he would come to the house like yesterday.Tumi was the same as yesterday, sitting on the steps in front of the house.She bet, bet Zack would come.
Waking up too early in the morning, Tumi yawned and fell asleep leaning against the wall involuntarily.There was a sound of footsteps slowly approaching, she bet right.
Zack walked up the steps, squatted down and carefully looked at Tumi's sleeping face, seeing each of her eyelashes clearly, she really looked exactly like Li Ling.If it weren't for the Band-Aid on her face, she would definitely look good.
Is she really waiting for herself, Zack wondered.
Zack saw the schoolbag next to him, he opened it and started looking for the keys.After opening the door and turning on the light, he put the schoolbag into the house.Then he walked out of the house, picked up Tumi, and put her on the bed.
The air froze, and Zack sat outside, on the same steps.After a long time, Tumi came out without closing the door.
"I knew you would come." Tumi broke the silence and sat next to Zack.
"I have nowhere to go, I just come here to play with you."
"Cut." Tumi pouted, "Although I don't know you well, I always feel that you are not simple." Tumi began to find something to talk about.
"Besides being often bullied by punks, have you ever been beaten?" Zack answered irrelevantly.
After being silent, Tumi said, "No..."
Zack didn't believe Tumi's answer, and continued: "Those scumbags who only bully girls just take your lunch, but don't hit you. Even if they hit you, they won't leave you with scars with their little ability, right?"
This person seems to have a pair of clairvoyant eyes, nothing can be hidden from him.
"Yes." Tu Mi said truthfully, "My scar...was...my mother punched me."
"Your mother still beats you?" For some reason, there seemed to be a little anger in his voice.
"It's all in the past. I've already moved out alone."
"It's a doormat at school, and it's the same at home. Only you, a fool, can be beaten for nothing."
Tu Mi is not serious at all: "Sometimes, endurance is also an advantage."
Feeling that we can't continue talking about this topic, Tumi thinks of a new topic.
Tumi stroked her hair and said, "Hey, do you know Tumi flowers?"
"I'm not interested in flowers."
Tumi happily walked to a flower tree on the right, touched a white flower and said, "Isn't this flower beautiful?" Then she picked the flower.
"Don't think the white flowers are ugly, that's because they just bloomed. Although they have no color, they have a faint fragrance." Tumi took the flowers and went back to the steps, "I'll give it to you." Tumi sat down while handing over flowers. Zack looked at the flowers with mixed feelings.
"What do I want these flowers for? It's useless." Zack said indifferently.
But Tumi stuffed the flower into Zack's hand, and said: "You take it, anyway, we realize that there is no meeting gift now, so I will send you a flower."
"up to you."
Tumi still kept a bright smile. "Do you know? I planted this twig tree the first day I moved out of the Trollins house, and it just so happened that it bloomed today. Don't look at it now, it will turn white after a while. Pretty in pink or red."
Zack twirled the flowers in his hand, in fact, the white color is quite beautiful.Pure, simple, simple, just like her.
"Are you staying at my house tonight or...?" Tumi asked seeing that it was getting late.
Zack raised his eyebrows, "You can rest assured that I live in your house?"
"I don't think you're a bad person, even though you look disgusted. Besides, I don't have anything to steal except homework, so it's okay." Tumi thought it didn't matter.
"Row."
"Ah?" Tumi was distracted, "Oh, oh, okay." Then he smiled again.
They walked back to the room, Tumi felt embarrassed for the first time, still embarrassed because her room was messy.As soon as she entered the door, she put all the homework sheets scattered on the floor on the desk.
"It's a bit messy." Tumi put the schoolbag next to the bed again.
Zack looked around, seeing that there was only one bed in the entire room.
"It's not enough for one person to live in such a small place." Zack still disliked it.
"It's okay, you sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the table. Sometimes I'm too sleepy during recess, that's how I sleep." Tumi said lightly.
"I'm used to sleeping on the floor." Zack's answer surprised Tumi.
"On the ground? How can you sleep on the hard and cold ground?"
When Tumi turned around, Zack was already lying on the ground with his eyes closed.
Tumi looked at him, and threw him a pillow from the bed.
"At least get a pillow to sleep on..."
