"Hey, it's my first time making a wreath, so I'm not very good at it." Wang Jiexi probably didn't expect that the wreath he made wouldn't last even a few minutes. Seeing the rare embarrassment and shame flashing across the young man's face, after teasing me, I I feel a little sad.

Picking up the wreath on the lawn—let’s call it a wreath—I turned around and sat on the ground beside Wang Jiexi, staring at the scattered branches in my hand, as if recalling the feeling I had once had:

Every time after owning something, reality will always make it fragmented, and the sweetness and joy experienced before are only used to set off the disappointment that is about to be tasted.

I let out a long sigh, picked up the branches in my hand and formed a circle around it, but it still couldn't return to the previous appearance, and even the few small flowers weaved on it were a little crumbling.

Wang Jiexi obviously saw through my thoughts, he patted my head, and snatched those few loose branches from my hand.

"I'll make it up for you later when I learn it. Let's go back today, it's time to eat." He got up from the ground and patted his pants, then stretched out his hand to me.

Hearing him say that made me feel a little hungry.With the help of Wang Jiexi's strength, I stood up from the grass, and I followed suit to pat off the grass clippings on my body, put away the sudden burst of negative emotions, and asked him in the usual tone: "Where are Nan Nan and the others flying the kite? Go call them."

"Out of the orchard, you can walk forward for 5 minutes and you will see it. You go and call them first, and I will lift the fruit into the car."

After finishing the work with Wang Jiexi, I followed the route he said to find someone.

As soon as you walk out of the orchard, you can see a wide flat land with a few steps forward. There are no big trees around, and there are no electric wires that always stretch across the sky in the city. The unobstructed ground and air are a good place to fly a kite.

Glancing around, I found Nan Nan and her brother who were standing still in the same place in front of me, and called them from a distance. Nan Nan, who was still standing in the same place before, heard my voice and immediately turned around and ran to the place. Beside me, pointed to the opposite side and said: "Sister Yiqian, our kite fell to the opposite side."

"Hey, where is it? Take me to see it."

"Come with me." Nan Nan took my hand and ran to where she was standing just now. Only then did I see a ravine about seven or eight meters wide, with a stream flowing below it. The distance from the water surface to the ground It should be four or five meters by visual inspection.

Nan Nan pointed out to me that the kite happened to land on the open space opposite. To get the kite, just cross the wooden bridge built on it.

"My aunt said before that we are not allowed to cross this bridge, because she is afraid that we will fall." Nan Nan explained the reason why she and her brother did not go over, and as the only adult among the three of us, I patted my chest and promised them : "Then you two just wait here for me, and I'll get it for you."

After I finished speaking, I walked to the edge of the deep ditch and looked at the wooden bridge on top: it looked like a thick tree cut in half, with the flat side facing up for people to walk on, and the fan-shaped side facing down , the two ends connected to the ground are deeply embedded in the soil, very firm.

The width of the wooden bridge is just enough for one person to walk on. I stepped on it carefully and moved forward. When I was about to reach the opposite side, I suddenly heard a very weak "click". .

Fearing that the wood could not bear my weight and break, I hurriedly jumped to the ground to pick up the kite and walked back. Before I had reached half the distance, the clicking sound that was the same as before suddenly became louder, and the things under my feet moved backwards. Slanting, following the exclamation of Nan Nan and the others, I staggered two steps on the bridge, and immediately fell to my knees on it.

This seems to have dealt a serious blow to the wooden bridge. The sound of trees breaking again sounded, and the whole amount of wood supporting me leaned back a little. The pain of my calf scratching the bridge surface and the panic in my heart made me unable to bear it. I yelled, and hurriedly lowered my body and grabbed the sides of the wood with both hands. I didn't even have time to pay attention to the fact that the kite fell out of my hands.

I turned my head and looked at the situation behind me. I don’t know how long the broken part can last. Now the whole wooden bridge is in the shape of an obtuse angle. If the parts at both ends are not embedded so deep that the wood does not fall off, otherwise I would have fallen.

With my hands clasped firmly on both sides of the stake, I have no time to care about the disgusting and slippery touch of my palms. Now the thought floating in my mind is - what should I do if I fall.

Although the water below was not too swift, no one knew how deep it was.

The two children standing by the side obviously just recovered from the shock, Wang Jiexi's younger brother hurriedly told Nan Nan to call his brother over, and immediately turned to comfort me not to worry.

I didn't know how to respond to his comfort, so I could only try to kneel on the wooden bridge and move my body forward slightly, but I was afraid that my actions would cause irreversible results.

I was always paying attention to what was happening at the broken part of the tree stump. I could only feel my body breaking out in cold sweat, and the beating sound of my heart was next to my ears. Every beat seemed to be recording the countdown of life.The hand holding the tree trunk was already a little sore, and I couldn't help thinking that I hadn't confessed to Wang Jiexi, and I hadn't had time to go back to visit my grandparents' graves, but I had to confess here.

"Yiqian!" Wang Jiexi's voice brought me back from my pessimistic trance, I raised my head, and the moment I saw him, the fear and despair accumulated in my heart turned into tears, instantly blurring my eyes.

"Wang Jiexi, I'm so scared, what should I do...I can't make it through." Weeping and talking to Wang Jiexi, it seemed that he had become my last support, my only support at present.

"It's okay, Yiqian, you crawl over slowly, I'll wait for you here."

"No, I can't move now...Wang Jiexi, I don't dare to move." I looked at the stake behind me that was about to break, and then I looked at Wang Jiexi again. The tears that kept gushing from my eyes because of fear rolled down my cheeks almost covered me Sight.

Ahead, in the liquid-soaked world, Wang Jiexi walked up to the upturned log, stepped on it with one foot, leaned forward slightly, and stretched out his hand to me: "Yiqian, don't look at the back, look at me, Climb forward slowly."

Hearing what he said, I moved my legs slightly forward, and only then did I move a little, and there was another 'click' sound from behind.

I was so frightened by the movement behind me that I screamed, and started asking Wang Jiexi in nonsense if I would die. He seemed to be trying to appease me, and there was no panic in his voice, but the frown was It revealed that he wasn't as calm as I thought.

Taking two deep breaths, I tried to move forward again.This time, the stake under my legs was no longer as scary as before. When I reached the shore, I reached out and grabbed Wang Jiexi. into his arms on the wooden bridge.

Lying on Wang Jiexi's chest, I had no mind to think about anything else. The strong sense of fear was still swallowing every inch of my nerves. I subconsciously grabbed his clothes tightly, as if this would make me feel better.

In order to match my height, Wang Jiexi bowed down and hugged my hands tightly. For some reason, I could feel him trembling a little, including the beating of his heart, which was not much calmer than mine.

After an unknown amount of time, I heard Wang Jiexi ask, "Are you okay?"

"Hmm...it's okay." I nodded in response, and slowly let go of the hand that was holding his clothes. Wang Jiexi patted my back, trying to calm me down like he was coaxing a child. When he raised his head, his face suddenly changed. Into my line of sight, the distance between the face and the face is so close that I can feel his breath on the cheek.

Wang Jiexi seldom looked at me at such a close distance, he never accommodated my height, this once made me wonder if he enjoyed the feeling of being condescending.

The pair of eyes swept across his face, and the face that was always flattered and humiliated showed a rare sadness, which made the lines of his face particularly tight, and the big and small eyes that were used to be teased by me in the past were full of eyes. Worry and regret.

My eyes turned from his glasses to the tip of his nose, and then stopped at the corners of his lips. For some reason, I actually remembered Nan Nan asking me if I had kissed Wang Jiexi last night.

My face seemed to be swept by a layer of heat, I was ashamed of my untimely thoughts, I pushed away Wang Jiexi's hand and walked out of his arms, and only half a step back, a stabbing pain came from my knees and legs. Pain.

I took a deep breath and looked down at the wound I had just fallen on the wooden bridge. Bloodstains were irregularly distributed on my calf, and there was even a little yellow mud on it.

Wang Jiexi was anxious to pull me up just now, obviously he didn't notice my leg, now seeing that I was injured, his frown seemed to deepen a bit.

"Can we go?" Wang Jiexi asked.

"It should be fine, it's just scratched and it won't affect walking."

He pondered for a while with a sullen face, then turned his head and told his younger brothers and sisters beside him: "You support Yiqian, I'll go and drive the car over."

After a few minutes, when we got into the car, I walked out of the panic just now.The quietness in the car of the four people was a bit depressing, and occasionally I could barely hear Nan Nan and his elder brother's low voice from the back seat. I squinted at Wang Jiexi who was sitting in the driver's seat. It still hasn't dispersed, and my intuition tells me that he is very unhappy now.

I bit my lip and hesitated for a few seconds, but couldn't help asking him: "Wang Jiexi, are you angry?"

The corners of his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't give me a look. He avoided answering me directly, but instead said, "I'll wipe the wound for you when I go back."

I opened my mouth, and finally changed the words around my mouth to: "...I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"I shouldn't have gone to pick up the kite on my own. I've made you worry. I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize, I'm not mad at you, I'm just mad at myself."

The car drove smoothly on the path, and occasionally bumped up and down due to rolling over stones. The shade of trees on both sides of the road hung from the glass to the car, constantly changing its appearance.

After this incident, I spent the next few days honestly working under Wang Jiexi's nose, as if I had returned to the time when he supervised our practice before retiring.

The week-long trip to the farmhouse was over, and the three brothers and sisters of Wang Jiexi’s family and I went back to the city. There was still some time left for the holiday stipulated by the club, but for me, it was no different from usual. I got up in the morning and fed the cats at the team base, Just playing Glory, and occasionally taking Xiaobie and Bai Qing to help the guild department fight for bosses.

Half a month passed like this. On the last day of July, the management notified the players to return to the club, which means that our new season will start today.
