evening tide

The evening wind was very cool, and it gradually felt like autumn, so I really shouldn't wear hot pants. What Lou Pingping said may not be correct. Xiang Wan didn't make Chao Xin so hot, but made me cold.

There was a lot of traffic, there was the sound of bicycles jingling, Xiang Wan's shadow was imprinted on the side of the bus, and he met the billboard on the bus, and when he arrived at the school gate, the fireworks became thicker, and there were students who came back late surrounded the small school. In front of the stall, waiting for a midnight snack.

Xiang Wan looked up, there were roasted cold noodles and roasted gluten, she actually didn't like to eat them, but suddenly felt a little lonely, that is, the loneliness of not being able to satisfy her desires well.So she decided to satisfy her appetite.

I bought a roast sausage and walked into the campus while eating. The garden downstairs in the dormitory smelled of shower gel, because many female students who had just showered went downstairs for a date with wet hair and wore nightdresses or pajamas.

Passing by a senior who was running by, Xiang Wan put down the sausage and made way for him.

Then he was chased by the school's stray dogs.

Xiang Wan was very afraid of big dogs. The stray dogs barked and ran forward. She hid in a panic and ran around the garden, forgetting to go to the dormitory hall.

When the big dog saw her running, he chased her even more happily, barking very excitedly.

Xiang Wan was driven to run half a circle before throwing the sausage in his hand and rolling it to the big dog's legs.

The stray dog ​​stopped and ate the grilled sausage. Xiang Wan was still in shock and afraid that the bamboo stick would prick it, so he squatted aside and waited for it to finish eating.

But the stray dog ​​is very experienced in eating grilled sausages, avoiding bamboo sticks, and gobbled it up. Presumably, some classmates often feed it with grilled sausages.

Seeing that it was eating well, Xiang Wan couldn't help but raised his hand and stroked its head.

The ferocious stray dog ​​actually started to rub against her palm, looking quite attached.

Xiang Wan scratched its chin again. When the stray dog ​​started to roll, she remembered the card.

Papai looked at Chao Xin like a big dog begging for comfort, longing but cautious.

What has she been through before?Xiang Wan wanted to wait for Chao Xin to tell him.

By the time Xiang Wan took his pajamas to take a shower, Pa Pai had already blown his hair and was lying on the bed.

Beside her bed are Mickey, Minnie, four Christmas lambs, and Lucky Pig.

She was wearing a blue nightgown, hugged the piglet Jixiang, and suddenly asked Chao Xin who came in after taking a shower: "Have you gone to Teacher Xiang?"

She fiddled with Little Pig's auspicious ingot, remembering that she had given one to Xiang Wan back then, and she was extremely embarrassed at that time, and Xiang Wan looked down at her with gentle eyes.

"Well, she's gone back." Chao Xin lifted the quilt and lay down next to Papai. When he stretched out his arms, Papai rolled into her arms naturally.

Chao Xin looked very tired, rubbed the card on her heart, and asked again: "Xiang Teacher's piggy, did you take it to school, or is it at home?"

"At home." Chao Xin said.

"Then when will she come back to get it?" Papai murmured.

Chao Xin looked down at her: "What's wrong?"

Didn't they still argue that they didn't want Chao Xin and Xiang Wan to be together?

"I don't know either," Papa said.

Taking Chao Xin's hand, he took it and drew a circle on her palm, and said, "Auntie, let's not sleep now, okay?"

Very well-behaved, with a baby voice.

"Why don't you want to sleep? You have class tomorrow." Chao Xin coaxed her softly.

"You come back very late every day. Sometimes I sleep, sometimes I don't sleep, and we don't talk much. You know? Zhou Ziqi told me that he liked me, but I refused because we had an agreement , You can only fall in love after the age of 14, I remember it, I want to tell you, you don't have time to talk to me."

Chao Xin stroked her thin back and praised her: "Great job."

"The teacher asked me to do parent-child homework in the parent group. You didn't reply that day. The teacher asked me. I told her that my mother forgot to reply, but she will do it well."

"What parent-child homework?"

"It's the content of our class meeting. We will make an environmentally friendly reuse of waste products with our family, and we will show it at the class meeting next week."

"Next week?" Chao Xin frowned.

"I'm done. I made a robot with the lid of a kettle, but the color is not good. I'm afraid the teacher will see that I made it myself. If you have time, please help me to change it. I put it on the table Below." Papa said.

Chao Xin felt a little sad, and said, "Okay."

"Chao Xin..." Pa Pai turned over suddenly, looked at her face on her stomach, held Chao Xin's right cheek in her small hand, and asked her: "When you finish the training class, you will come to pick me up every day, right? ?”

"Same as before," she added.

"Yes," Chao Xin also patted her face, "I'm sorry to let you go home alone recently."

Sometimes I eat lunch at noon, sometimes I order takeaway, Pa Pai didn't say anything, but Chao Xin knew that she had been suppressing her emotions, and it just broke out today.

"So," Chao Xin saw that she was lying down again, he gently stroked her back, and asked her, "Is it because I didn't accompany you that you are so rude in front of Teacher Xiang today?"

Pa Pai rubbed her eyes against her arm, and Chao Xin could feel the soft eyelashes and a little wetness, not sure if it was the steam from the bath.

Papai said, "No, I'm a little scared."

"Fear?"

Papai's feet moved, and after a moment of embarrassment, he said, "I was that day."

She fell asleep on her side, hugged Chao Xin's waist, covered her face with her body, and said sullenly: "I was in the car that day, and I heard you say it."

She moved her feet again.

Chao Xin's heart skipped a beat, she thought she had guessed it, but she didn't expect her to hear it so early.

"Do you remember, at that time I looked for a TV series and watched "Little Farewell", there was a stepmother in it, and Zhang Xiaoyu, Zhang Xiaoyu was very mean to his stepmother, I told you at that time, I am definitely not like that child."

"But I think now, I'm broken too."

"What's the matter?" Chao Xin pulled her away and looked at her face.

But Papai didn't dare to look at her, his eyes were only on the folds of Chao Xin's nightdress.

Talking heart-to-heart with adults, when she was serious, she would blush and feel ashamed.

"I just said that you are a big girl, not just about taking a bath," Chao Xin stroked her hair, "You can tell me what you think, if you don't tell me, how can we solve it together? Right? ?”

Papai bit his lip, sat up, with his calves curled outside his skirt, still hugging the little piggy auspiciously.

"I'm afraid you'll get along with Teacher Xiang and leave me alone." She drooped her eyelashes and said awkwardly, then sucked in both sides of her mouth and made a grimace.

Because Chao Xin doesn't care much about her right now, if Teacher Xiang shares time with her again, she will really not love her father or mother.

Chao Xin stared at her grimace for a while, then sat up and leaned against the head of the bed.

After being quiet for a while, as if he was phrasing, he said, "Teacher Xiang and I are not together."

Papai sucked the corner of his mouth and looked up at her.

"But I like her very much." Chao Xin smiled.

Papai let go of the corners of his mouth, his mouth deflated, and he was about to cry.

For so many years, this was the first time that Chao Xin said that he liked someone in front of her. She was so sad, as sad as a hundred Zhou Ziqis had a change of heart.

Chao Xin pursed his lips, let go with a "tsk", and said, "Why don't you keep making funny faces."

Papai frowned into an earthworm shape, looked at her, and understood that Chao Xin didn't want to see her cry, and they were going to have an adult conversation.

So she swallowed it back, sucked up the corners of her mouth vigorously, and made a twisted little yellow duck.

"I like her, but we haven't decided to be together yet. Maybe, it's similar to you and Zhou Ziqi. We're waiting for a better time."

Chao Xin doesn't plan to fall in love a lot, and even before she met Xiang Wan, she didn't have such needs at all. Therefore, "together" means "not to be separated" to her.

She knew Xiang Wan was the same.

"You like Zhou Ziqi, but you also like me. I don't think you don't like me because you like him, right?" Chao Xin raised his eyebrows.

Paipai shook his head vigorously.

Chao Xin smiled: "So each of us is like this, um... For example, each of us has three water glasses, each containing family affection, love, and friendship. They are in the three glasses, not mixed together. of."

"I hid my other cups before, and you couldn't see them, so you thought I only had one, but I actually have many." She whispered softly, smiling slightly at Paipai.

"So, no matter what the situation is between me and her, whether the relationship between us increases or decreases, we will only add and pour the water in the other cup, and will not touch me and you. Do you understand?"

Seemingly understanding but not understanding, Paipai nodded hesitantly.

Chao Xin stretched out his arms to embrace her: "No matter who I am with or not, I will not ignore you. I only have one card."

The last sentence was very light, but Papai's nose suddenly became sour, and he stretched out his little hand to wipe away his tears.

"But I won't tell you that if I'm with her, there will be one more person who will love you. I don't think it has to be like this."

"Because I am your aunt, and we are each other's most important relatives. I have obligations, responsibilities, and feelings for you, but Teacher Xiang is not."

"There is no relationship between her and you. I don't think she 'must' love you because she likes me. Can you understand me?"

"I won't ask you, because you care about me, you 'must' like her."

Pa Pai looked up at her, the lines on Chao Xin's face had never been so soft, maybe it was because of talking about the two people she cared about.

"I've told you before that between people, it's just a heart-to-heart exchange. If you want her to like you, then you should show it yourself, fight for it, and treat her well, instead of saying, treat her as mine. Attached, go and enjoy her 'Love House and Wu'."

"If you want to be friends with her."

"You're good at making friends, aren't you?" Chao Xin looked down at her.

"But," Papai suddenly remembered something, moved his feet again, and said delicately, "Will she let me recite "Shi Shuo" again, I'm afraid."

Chao Xin laughed: "She won't teach you guqin now."

"Then, then," Papai panicked, "If she is with you, will she let me recite "Filial Piety"?"

……

Chao Xin blinked, a little surprised.

"Probably... no." She frowned.

But she quickly laughed and wanted to ask Xiang Wan.

After thinking about it, she and Xiang Wan are not together, so it's not very good to ask this question, so she just curled her lips secretly, and said to Pa Pai, "Go to sleep."

"I fell asleep, do you want to call her?" Papai asked.

Chao Xin didn't answer.

"I admit that what you said is very reasonable, but my heart is still sour. Can you stop talking to her in front of me recently? I don't want to see it." Papai moaned with a mournful face.

"Okay, I promise you." Chao Xin smiled and pinched her face.

"I still think she looks like a vixen." Papai howled "Wow".

"Wow, Teacher Xiang is as beautiful as a vixen?" Chao Xin exclaimed.

In a hurry, he hit her with his hand.

Chao Xin hugged her and lay down: "Stop making trouble, go to sleep."

"Good night." Reluctantly.

"Good night."
