The next day, early Thursday morning, a few tea leaves outside the door fell with the wind.The familiar alarm sound started the new day.

Tumi covered her head under the quilt when she heard the alarm ringing, but stretched out her left hand and fumbled on the phone, and the alarm ringing finally stopped.She squinted for a while, then got up and opened the curtains, and looked back to see Zack lying on the ground by the door, it turned out that he slept at her house last night.Looking at him, Tumi couldn't help but smile.Turning around, she also saw the textbook that Zack finished the topic. She carefully put the textbook into the school bag and prepared to take it away at school, for fear of waking up Zack, who was in a light sleep.

Tumi was still wearing yesterday's clothes and went to the toilet to brush her teeth. Just after she finished rinsing, she heard a knock on the door, and she asked softly, "Who is it?"

"It's me." A gentle voice came from outside the door.

The voice was very familiar, but Tumi still didn't know who it was. Zack was also surprised that the alarm just now didn't wake him up, but the sound outside the door woke him up instead.

Zack rubbed his eyes, yawned and asked, "Who is outside the door, do you want to wake me up?"

Tumi came out of the toilet and said, "I'm sorry, let me see who it is." After speaking, Tumi walked to the door and saw Xia Yu at the door through the cat's eyes.

"Tumi, are you okay? Is it convenient?" Xia Yu asked concerned after seeing Tumi not open the door for a long time.

Tumi suddenly panicked, "Hiss...it's Xia Yu...you, you should hide quickly." Tumi said while pawing and pulling Zack who was still lying on the ground.

Zack didn't panic at all, and said lazily, "I'm not an adulterer, why should I hide?"

"The one at the door is Xia Yu, Xia Tian's brother, if you don't hide anymore, I won't care about you if he sees that you're cheating." Tu Mi used her final trump card. After all, Zack is a boy, and it's not suitable for others to see him alone in the same room. arrive.

"Tumi?" Xia Yu's voice came again.

Tumi immediately replied: "Oh... sorry I'm changing clothes, wait for me." Zack looked at Tumi in surprise.

"Hurry up and hide, I'm going to open the door." Tumi tried to pull up Zack who was lying down.

Zack still stood up reluctantly, and asked again: "Your room is so small, where can I hide?" Tumi glanced around the room, feeling anxious, this guy was so big, where could I hide, and finally looked at the bed end.

"Although my bed is very short, you can only hide here." Tumi smirked.

Zack said disdainfully: "How can I get in when I'm so small?"

"Hey, you're so smart, you must have a solution. Hurry up, I'm going to open the door." Tumi coaxed Zack like a child.

Zack rolled his eyes, and although he didn't want to, he could only hide under the bed.He lay down and slowly moved in until Tumi couldn't see Zack at all.Tumi stroked her uncombed hair, trying to hide her flustered emotions, and acted as normal as possible.

"Morning, Xia Yu." Tumi opened the door and said with a smile.

"Are you okay, I just heard a voice that sounds like Xia Tian." Xia Yu was as gentle as ever.

Tumi's expression froze, and she stammered, "You, did you hear me wrong... Eh? Why did you come to see me so early, wouldn't you see me right away?" Tumi changed the subject.

"I just came to tell you that today is school holiday and teacher training day."

"I never heard the teacher say it."

"It was decided temporarily. The school posted it on the bulletin board, but I'm afraid you didn't see it. I happened to be at your house before, so I came to tell you directly."

"Thank you, it's a good thing you came, otherwise I would have gone to school." Tu Mi laughed, and Xia Yu also laughed.Just after finishing speaking, Xia Yu accidentally saw the brown stain on Tumi's clothes, and Tumi followed Xia Yu's gaze to look at the stain.

"Uh... yesterday... I was too tired yesterday, I accidentally fell asleep, and I didn't change my clothes." Tumi explained awkwardly, it was the stain she accidentally spilled milk tea on her clothes yesterday.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'll go first."

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Tumi said goodbye to Xia Yu, and watched Xia Yu leave before closing the door, heaving a sigh of relief.

Tumi looked at the bottom of the bed and said, "Okay, you're skinny, I can't even see you." After speaking, Zack "crawled" out from under the bed.

"That man is really long-winded. Aren't you friends with Xia Tian? You have a relationship with his brother, and you are so considerate." Zack always likes to find fault with others.

"Xia Yu is just...just because I'm friends with his brother, so he takes extra care of me. Don't always make it so complicated as others think."

"..."

Tumi sat back on the bed, suddenly remembered the homework Zack gave her last night, and said, "Thank you for helping me with my homework."

Zack sat at the dining table and said, "Just for once, do your own thing."

Although the way he speaks is obnoxious, he's right.There is one thing to say, if someone else does homework, then I still haven't learned anything.

"Got it, then when do you plan to go to Xia Tian to clarify it?" Tu Mi felt that if she kept the secret for a while, she would not be able to hide it for the rest of her life, there must be a day when things are clarified.

"Don't ask." He only said these two words.

Every time when Xia Tian was mentioned, his complexion became bad. Anyway, he also said that he would do his own thing, so she would simply ignore him and Xia Tian from now on.

"Forget it, I'm going to change clothes, you wait for me here, you are not allowed to leave secretly, I will give you a surprise." Tumi ran into the bathroom after finishing speaking, without giving Zack a chance to speak.

When Tumi came out again, she was wearing a light purple plaid pleated skirt and a short-sleeved pink T-shirt. By the way, she said, "Since we all get up early, my sister will take you to eat delicious food."

Zack looked at Tumi speechlessly, but this was the first time he saw her dressed so vigorously.

"Let's go!" Tumi said, pulling up Zack who was sitting at the dining table, took out his wallet, and walked towards the snack street.

Although it is only early in the morning, the summer sun seems to be hot regardless of time.Walking on the road, the wind that blows head-on is warm. This hot and dry temperature is incomparable with the evening wind, and it is rare to see pigeons that can be seen in the evening.

Tumi pulled Zack closer to a breakfast shop, there were few people in the shop, everyone should be in a hurry to go to work and school at this time.

"Finally, the school is on holiday today, so we can have breakfast together. What do you want to eat?" Tumi smiled at Zack and pointed to the menu board above.

"It doesn't matter." Zack never seemed to care about food.

"Okay, then you order the same as me?"

"casual."

Tumi has long been used to it, so she ordered her usual favorite food with the waiter, and then the two found a seat and sat down.

Tu Mi looked around the restaurant and said, "Last time I treated you to hot pot, this time I treat you to something else."

"You don't have much money, but you like to eat a lot."

"..."

After a while, the waiter served the food, and the table was full of food, such as steamed buns, wontons, and fried pork chops.Tumi took two bowls, two pairs of chopsticks, and two spoons from the table, and gave Zack a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"Let's eat." Tumi picked up the chopsticks to pick up vegetables in her bowl.She looked at Zack, who was not proficient with chopsticks, and put a piece of fried pork cutlet into his bowl, "Can I call you 'chopstick idiot' from now on?" Tumi laughed out loud.

"No." Zack immediately refused.

Although she didn't know anything about him, Tumi spent most of her time with him laughing.

Tumi gave Zack a small steamed bun, looked at him who had no knowledge of eating, and said, "Small steamed buns can't be eaten directly, they will get hot. Put the small steamed bun in a spoon, and bite on the skin Take a small sip and pour out the soup inside, so that it cools down quickly. This is the secret of my [-]-year-old Xiaolongbao.”

"Don't you just have a meal, it's so troublesome." Although Zack said so, his hands followed what Tumi said.

Tumi put another three wontons into Zack's bowl.

"I know you're not very good at using chopsticks, otherwise I'll pick them up for you in the future?" Tumi finished picking up chopsticks for Zack and then ate by herself, not noticing that the atmosphere became more dignified.After a long time, Zack didn't speak.

Although this "chopstick idiot" has no requirements for food on the surface, he actually eats a lot.

The two were walking home, and the sun was about to hang in the middle of the sky.

"You said you don't care what you eat, but you eat a lot, you're not a hidden foodie, are you?" Tumi said with a smile.

"For me, eating is just a matter of extending life. As long as it is not poisonous, you can eat it." Zack said coldly.

What he has experienced, his identity, she doesn't know, and it doesn't matter.

When they got home, because it was too hot outside, the two of them didn't sit on the steps and went straight into the house.Although Zack has lived in Tumi's home for a long time, he has never visited her home carefully.It just so happened that today was very free, so Zack looked at the bookshelf in front of Tumi's desk, the three bookshelves were full, he was really a nerd.

Tumi saw Zack looking at his bookshelf seriously, and said, "Xueba's bookshelf is always so full."

"How do I remember that I did the last math homework?"

"...I'm not good at math and sports, but I'm pretty good at everything else."

"..."

In fact, he really wanted to see what she looked like when she was in school, whether it was attending classes, exercising or socializing.

Zack looked at the second row of bookshelves and found a few sheets of paper clipped to the far left. Just as he was about to take them out to read, he heard a knock on the door.The room started to become flustered again, and Tumi still motioned Zack to hide under the bed.

Tumi went to open the door, but there was still this familiar face outside.

"Hi, Xia Yu." Tumi smiled and showed her small canine teeth.

"I'm sorry, I've come to disturb you twice today. I want to say that today is a temporary vacation. You may not have any plans. Do you mind going to the playground with me?" Xia Yu invited, "Of course, Xia Mei and Xia Mei will also go. "

Tumi hesitated for a while, originally thinking about spending today's vacation with Zack.But since I met Zack, I haven't played with Xia's family for a long time. We are in different classes at school, so we can't say a few words.

"Okay." Tumi said after thinking for a long time, but actually felt strange in her heart.

"Then you and I go to Xia's house first. In summer, they are sorting out the items for the playground, and then we will go together. Tickets are welcome, they are all from my family, we invite you."

"How can I do that? I also have money, so I can't always let you treat guests."

"It's really not necessary, listen to me, I invited you in the first place, I should treat you." Xia Yu insisted.

Tumi's face was full of embarrassment, and she almost wrote the word "embarrassment" on her face. "Thank you, but it's okay, next time I invite you, I can't always let you treat me."

"Let's talk about it next time."

Tumi realized that they had been chatting for a long time, and immediately said: "Then I'm going to unpack my schoolbag, sorry to wait for me." Then the door closed.

After closing the door, Tumi pouted, and said in a low voice, "It's coming out." Seeing Zack still coming out from under the bed like last time, Tumi couldn't help laughing out loud. Zack looked at Tumi and obviously heard their conversation just now.

"I'm sorry, the Xia family invited me to the playground, but I will definitely be back in the evening." Tu Mi apologized.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Zack's eyes, and he turned back to indifferent in an instant: "Then go, don't tell me, why come back so early?"

"Come back to accompany you." Tumi blurted out, not caring if Xia Yu could hear her voice. There was an unspeakable emotion in Zack's light gray eyes.

It turns out that there is really someone who is willing to wait for him to go home; it turns out that there is really someone who is willing to accompany him.

"It's fine for me to hook up with you. I will definitely be back before six o'clock tonight." After Tumi finished speaking, she held out her little finger.

Zack looked at her dexterous hands and said, "Boring."

Tu Mi was not happy: "Hey, hurry up, my hands are so sore."

"It's really childish." Although Zack said so, Zack still flirted with Tumil perfunctorily.

"Okay, I'll leave after unpacking my bag. Xia Yu is still waiting for me at the door." Tumi said, picking up the dark blue schoolbag on the ground, and filling it with snacks, wallet and water. Zack leaned against the wall, crossed his arms, and said goodbye with a final zipper.

"Let's go." Tumi smiled, picked up her schoolbag, waved her hand and said, "Oh yes, I'll open the door later, you hide in and come out when I'm completely gone. You can take a look at home, I have A lot of books, I think you need a little culture to moisten your life." Tu Mi couldn't help laughing again, but Zack didn't care.But looking at Tumi's leaving back, he still felt inexplicably worried, something he had never felt before.Worried about whether she would be hungry when she played, worried about whether the guy named Xia Tian could take good care of her, worried about whether this seemingly heartless girl would be afraid of riding a roller coaster.

"I'm fine." Tumi went out with her schoolbag on her back, and saw Xia Yu looking at the Tumi tree on the right.

Xia Yu touched a Tumi flower and said, "This flower is so beautiful, did you plant it?"

Tumi approached: "Yes, I planted it for a long time, and it happened to bloom a while ago."

"What's the name of this flower?"

Tumi paused for a while and then said: "Tumi flower."

"That's pretty good, your name." Xia Yu smiled, "Then let's go, they should be almost fine in Xia Tian."

"Okay." With that said, Tumi followed Xia Yu to Xia's house.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, Xia Mei and Xia Mei were already waiting there, "It's been a long time." Tumi trotted.

"It's okay, I'm still thinking about taking a day off and you don't want to go out." Xia Tian said.

In fact, for a moment, she didn't want to come.Worried about Zack being an idiot at home alone, worried about whether he would cook dumplings by himself when he was hungry, worried about whether he would be bored.

"Then let's go." Xia Mei took Tu Mi's hand and said, after speaking, everyone walked towards the playground.

The playground may be everyone's childhood.When I was young, my parents said to myself, if you pass the exam, they will take you to eat delicious food, to the toy store, and to the playground.No matter how old you are, hearing the sound of a roller coaster makes you feel like a kid.

"Hey, hey, I want to play that!" Xia Mei said, pointing to the spinning cup.

"Tsk, don't make noise, what do you want to play, Tumi?" Xia Yu said while pressing Xia Mei's head.

"I can do it, just listen to you."

"Well, it's cheap, you little brat."

"Snob, who do you call a bastard?"

"You."

Tu Mi laughed out loud watching the bickering between the siblings, and it turned out that some younger sisters called her brother a "snob".

Colorful clinking cups are spinning in the venue. These teacups are as cute and delicate as those in fairy tales.In this way, roller coaster, Ferris wheel, big pendulum, play one by one.It just so happened that the weather was hot today, and it was a working day, so there were very few people queuing up.

After playing with the big pendulum, the four of them sat down on a bench with a small gazebo and took out the snacks they brought.

"I brought a lot of snacks, let's eat together." Tumi said while taking out a lot of snacks from her schoolbag.

"Wow, Tumi, why did you bring so much food, you're a foodie?" Xia Mei was picking at Tumi's snacks.

"It's okay." Tumi looked at the miscellaneous snacks she brought, she didn't expect to bring so many.

At this time, Xia Yu took out a pack of chocolates wrapped in pink and said, "Tumi, this is the last pack of sandwich chocolates I snatched in the supermarket before. I'm not willing to let these gluttons eat it, so I'll give it to you."

Tumi looked at the chocolate and was in a daze for a while.Seeing that Tumi was stunned, Xia Yu directly stuffed the chocolate into Tumi's hand.

"You're welcome."

"Thank you."

"Hey, snob, when did you buy the chocolates? How come my little brother and I don't know?" Xia Mei protested.

"He, there are many things we don't know." Xia Tian said as he tore open a bag of potato chips.

"If you both know everything, the world might stop spinning." Xia Yu teased.

A cloud floated in front of the sun, blocking the heat.Blowing the summer wind, eating snacks, accompanied by a few elegant clouds.It's true that she hasn't been to the playground for a long time, and it seems that the last time she came was when her father was alive.

After the snacks, the benches were strewn with trash.After eating the last potato chips in the bag, Xia Tian said, "Give me the trash, and I'll help you throw it out." Tu Mi took a plastic bag from the bag, and everyone put the trash into the bag one after another, and handed it over to everyone. to summer.Unexpectedly, just as Xia Tian stood up, his vision went dark, the world spun, and finally he sat back on the bench heavily with a "snap".

"What's wrong with you in Xia Tian?" Tu Mi was the first to notice.

I saw Xia Tian frowned and held his forehead, and said after a while: "It's okay, I just fainted suddenly."

"You didn't faint from the big pendulum, did you? Haha." Xia Yu didn't realize the seriousness yet.

"Probably not, could it be heatstroke?" Tumi felt that the matter was not simple.

"It's okay, it's probably because the weather is too hot, I'll take a break and let you go play." Xia Tian explained.

Xia Mei stuffed the biscuit into her mouth and said, "Brother, then you can rest here, it's nice to have a gazebo here, and I'll come to you after we're done playing."

Xia Tian nodded slightly.

Xia Tian was not here, and everyone felt that Xia Tian should go home to rest, so they went back to find Xia Tian after playing the jumping machine and carousel.

"Hello, we are back again." Xia Mei waved her hand.

"How are you so fast?" Xia Tian thought they would play for a long time.

"Because there are too many people in line now, I'm too lazy to line up, so I'm going to ask you to go home." Xia Yu shrugged.

"Don't listen to their nonsense, in fact, they can't let go of you, which is why they said they want to go home so soon." Tu Mi came out and said what Xia Yu and Xia Mei were thinking.

Xia Tian smiled and said nothing.

The four of them walked on the asphalt road towards Xia's house.The willows danced in the wind, and the sun shone like glitter on the surface of the river.After arriving at Xia's house, Xia Mei opened the door, and Xia Xiong was still cooking in the kitchen as usual.

"You go upstairs to rest in Xia Tian, ​​I'll tell Brother Xiong." Xia Yu put down his schoolbag and motioned Xia Tian to go upstairs, Xia Yu nodded.

"Hey Tumi, did you have fun at the playground?" Xia Xiong came out of the kitchen and said, "Hey, where's Xia Tian?"

"Mother Xia, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable in summer, maybe I'm suffering from heat stroke, I'm going upstairs to rest." Tumi came to Xia's house several times, and she was no longer nervous.

"Oh good, thank you for taking care of him. The meal will be ready soon. I know you are on holiday today, so I cooked the meal early. Do you want to stay and eat?"

Tumi stammered, "Um... Mama Xia, I have work to do next, I'm sorry. Next time, I like your cooking." This was also the first time she refused someone.

"It's okay, anyway, you and Xia Tian are in the same school, it's very convenient to come to eat."

Tumi smiled, and said, "Then Mama Xia, I'll go first."

Xia Xiong nodded

"Tumi, come to our house more often in the future, and by the way, slap my two elder brothers' temper." Xia Mei was still straightforward.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Don't bother Tumi, I have other things to do." Xia Yu started the daily sibling bickering mode again.

Tumi waved his hand and said, "Then I'm leaving." Xia Yu also waved.

At this time, five forty.Although the agreed time hadn't arrived yet, Tu Mi still trotted all the way.Maybe it was worried that Zack would sneak away like before, or maybe it was worried that Zack, an idiot in life, would hurt himself at home alone.

She hurried home and hurriedly opened the door, only to see Zack sitting on the bed flipping through his excerpts.She was very lucky and pleasantly surprised, too, he probably wouldn't leave suddenly.

"45:[-], I'm not late." Tumi said, looking at her watch.

Zack closed the excerpt, and said lightly, "Yes."

Tumi put down her schoolbag, sat at the dining table, and said, "I'm sorry, I made you stay at home alone for a day, wouldn't it be boring?"

"What if I say yes?" Zack put the excerpt on the desk.

"..." Tumi lost her mind for a moment, "You can ask me for reasonable compensation." Tumi said with a sense of humor.

Zack evoked a smile, walked up to Tumi and said, "Anything is fine?"

Tumi looked into Zack's eyes: "In principle, anything is fine." Why does it feel like he is not as indifferent as before at this moment.

Zack looked at the guitar bag at the door, then turned his head to Tumi and said, "Play the guitar, let me listen to it alone."

"Huh?" Tu Mi still didn't react, "How do you know..."

"If you want to know, you should know, you will know."

Tumi finally realized it, got up and said, "Okay, but I don't play very well, so don't laugh." Then she went to the door and picked up the guitar bag, then opened the door and sat on the steps outside, Zack also sat beside her.

Tumi carefully took out his beloved guitar from the bag, but secretly left the score of "Love Enough" in the bag and put it aside. He probably didn't know that he could play "Love Enough".

But Zack saw all this clearly, and said directly: "I just want to hear enough love."

Tu Mi didn't know how to answer the conversation, how could this life idiot even know that she could play "Enough Love".

"Don't you want to make up for it?" Zack said mischievously when he saw that Tumi was silent.

Tumi paused for a while, "Love Enough" is her favorite song, she didn't think it was strange to play it to Xia Tian before, but it was always a little strange in her heart to play it to Zack.

She thought for a long time, and finally made a decision: "Okay."

She took out the seven-page score from the bag on the side and placed it on the next step, and the piano sounded.The prelude sounded, and I don't know how many people will come to watch. This song is really popular.

Tumi looked at her fingertips and the score, but didn't notice that Zack had been looking at her seriously. 5 minutes passed, which was a long time for Tumi, but it was like a clock ticking for Zack.After playing the last note, Tumi looked at Zack, it was the first time she saw him look so stupid.

"Hi!" Tumi shouted loudly, waving his hands.

Zack reacted and said, "What?"

"How do you know I can play enough love?"

"You have a lot of scores on your bookshelf, can you play them?" Zack changed the subject.

"You also know that I have a lot of scores, so why do you have to listen to enough love?"

"I'd love to." Zack said indifferently.

"..." Tumi was speechless, since she knew him, she understood that when chatting with anyone, don't chat with Zack, because he always has a way to chat to death. "It's time to sleep." Tumi put the guitar and score into the bag, picked up the bag and walked into the house.No matter it's only six o'clock, she doesn't want to talk to this life idiot who can't even chat, at least not today.

Tumi entered the room but still left the door open for Zack. Zack was still sitting there, thinking about his heartbeat in the five minutes just now. This heartbeat frequency was the same as when he hugged her last time.

His heart has been silent for seven years, why can a song of hers make it dance again.
