MTL - Chasing Summer-Chapter 35
Lin Zexia waited at the train station for about half an hour.
She found a noodle restaurant to sit down. Although it was a little late now, the safety of a place with a lot of traffic like a train station is relatively high.
When she finished eating the noodles and was holding a glass to drink water, the glass door of the noodle restaurant was pushed open——
The weather in the north is different from that in the south, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the moment the door is opened, a cool air rolls in from the door.
The person who came in was tall, wearing a thin sweater, and carrying a black coat in his hand. His eyebrows and eyes seemed to have been drawn with a paintbrush, and he was very conspicuous in the crowd.
He didn't stand at the door for long, and he spotted the person he was looking for at a glance.
Lin Zhexia put down the water glass, looked at Chi Yao who was walking in front of her, and said before Chi Yao sat down, "Sorry, this seat is occupied."
Chi Yao put his hand on the back of the chair and glanced at her.
"?"
After all, she didn't notify anyone today, so she ran over by herself. Lin Zhexia was afraid that he would get angry, so she improvised a small theater to ease the atmosphere: "I want to reserve this position for a handsome guy named Chi Yao."
"Really," Chi Yao asked without any ups and downs, "how handsome is he?"
Lin Zhexia: "He is the most handsome person I have ever seen. I have never seen anyone more handsome than him since I was born."
Chi Yao's brows and eyes were a little loose.
Lin Zhexia took advantage of the victory to pursue: "He is not only handsome, but also very smart and talented. Apart from some problems with his character, he can be called perfect."
Chi Yao pulled out the chair and sat down directly: "I forgot to mention that my character is not very good, so I like to grab other people's seats."
"..."
"You look quite familiar," Chi Yao continued her script, "You don't look like a local, what?"
Lin Zhexia was also very cooperative: "I am from Lianyun."
"What are you doing here?"
"To travel."
Chi Yao's tone was a bit cold: "I'm traveling alone."
"Yes, train yourself," Lin Zhexia said solemnly, "People have to learn to grow up by themselves."
Chi Yao sneered: "Then you stay here by yourself, I won't hinder your growth, I'll go first."
After finishing speaking, Chi Yao made a gesture to leave.
Lin Zhexia was afraid that he would really leave, so she got up and grabbed his clothes: "No, in the few hours I've been out, life has severely worn away my edges and corners—I've woken up now."
Chi Yao sat back with a gesture of trying to save face: "Tell me."
Lin Zhexia acted on the spot: "First, I shouldn't come here alone, it's not safe. Second, I should inform you in advance, and third... I can't think of it, it's almost over."
Chi Yao: "Take out your phone."
Lin Zhexia handed over the phone.
Chi Yao raised his chin slightly, Lin Zhexia understood in seconds, and unlocked the phone.
Chi Yao clicked on the address book, found Lin He's phone number, and handed the phone back to her.
"Third, call Aunt He."
Lin Zhexia called Lin He and told her that she was in Haicheng City.
Lin He almost thought he was in a dream: "You are in Haicheng City? What are you doing there? Is Chi Yao by your side? Let him answer the phone."
Everyone has already gone.
It is not realistic to ask her to go back immediately, and it is too late now.
Lin Zhexia followed Chi Yao like a child who was caught running away from home, waiting for a taxi.
She heard Chi Yao say "hmm" to the phone a few times, and then the taxi came, and Chi Yao opened the door to signal her to get in the car.
After getting in the car, she couldn't help asking: "What did my mother tell you just now?"
Chi Yao: "Tell you to be safe, follow me, and don't run around."
Lin Zhexia grasped the key point: "So she didn't let me go back immediately tomorrow morning?"
Chi Yao let out a "hmm".
"Then I can stay here for a day," she thought, "and come with you."
She thought it sounded as if she wanted to follow him.
It might even make people suspect that she came here just for him.
So Lin Zhexia quickly added: "I originally wanted to go back tomorrow. I didn't plan to be out for so long. I just suddenly wanted to come and see the sea."
Chi Yao said, "You also know it's sudden."
Lin Zhexia: "After all, I have no experience. I have never seen the sea in my life. Please forgive me."
"..."
The night in this city is very quiet. When the car stops, you can occasionally hear the sound of sea water lapping on the coast.
Lin Zhexia secretly looked at Chi Yao's state in the car.
He has long legs and feels a bit cramped in the car.
The black sweater he was wearing was very large, which made his complexion whiter. There were very inconspicuous shadows under his eyes, and his eyelids were usually half drooping, revealing a little fatigue that was hard for others to notice. At the moment, I am bowing my head and replying to the message.
The drive back always seemed to be faster, and they reached their destination in about twenty minutes.
The hotel that only appeared in her and Chi Yao's chat records yesterday, appeared in front of her today.
When Lin Zhexia was waiting for Chi Yao to check her in in the hotel lobby, she felt unreal.
"There is still a vacant room," Chi Yao said, "This is the room card, I will send you up."
Lin Zhexia took the room card and asked, "Which room do you live in?"
Chi Yao pressed the elevator: "802, you are diagonally opposite."
Lin Zhexia silently recited the string of numbers "802" in her heart.
The two took the elevator up, and Chi Yao asked again: "Have you brought any clothes?"
After he finished asking, he glanced at her again: "Forget it, pretend I didn't ask."
Lin Zhexia bought the ticket entirely on impulse. She carried a small satchel, which was used to hold her mobile phone and ID card.
This small satchel doesn't look like it can hold clothes.
She asked: "Is there a shopping mall nearby, I can go there to buy by myself."
Chi Yao: "The mall is closed at this point."
"..."
"That…"
Lin Zhexia said "that" for a long time, until the elevator reached the designated floor, he still didn't say the last half of the sentence.
After Chi Yao got out of the elevator, he stood at the elevator entrance and looked down at her: "Then you can only wear mine."
...
Wear who? ? ?
Lin Zhexia's tongue began to knot instantly: "I think, that, it seems, not quite..."
not too good.
Close-fitting clothing is not the same as a coat.
Although when she was a child, she snatched his pants to wear. But now they are both sophomores.
And if it was before, she might feel that it was nothing.
But now, when she started to have a lot of inexplicable emotions towards Chi Yao.
"It's new," Chi Yao said, "I haven't worn it since I bought it, so I just washed it once. You wear it first, and you can change it back when it dries tomorrow."
Finally, he said, "Lin Zhexia, what are you thinking?"
Lin Zhexia was a little embarrassed, she lowered her head, swiped her room card and entered the door: "I didn't think about anything, I just kind of...dislike you."
She added, "It's good that it's new, otherwise I'll really dislike it."
The hotel room is a single room with complete facilities and even a computer desk.
She took a shower, dried her hair, and changed into the T-shirt that Chi Yao gave her.
She ignored the discomfort and kept telling herself: It's new, it's new, it's new.
He didn't wear it.
So this dress is nothing special.
After tossing until now, it is almost 12 o'clock.
Lin Zhexia lay on the bed and sent a message to Lin He, reporting to her that she had arrived at the hotel safely, then she paused with her fingers, and returned to the chat box with Chi Yao.
The chat records between her and Chi Yao stayed on the voice call at the train station.
Swiping up again is the phrase "just woke up".
Ten minutes later, she rang the doorbell of room 802.
When Chi Yao opened the door, the door had just opened a crack when he heard a familiar voice from outside the door, the girl's voice was clear and soft: "Surprise inspection."
"Young master Lin came over to inspect and see which disobedient people are not asleep."
The girl outside the door had her hair draped over her hair, which was naturally lighter in color, perhaps because of the soft texture of her hair. The eyes are clear and lingling, and the tails of the eyes are slightly raised, and the facial features fade away after opening, showing a bit of bright girlishness.
It's just that he's still not that tall. His clothes were too big for her, almost reaching her knees, and could have been worn as a dress.
Chi Yao turned his eyes away and stopped looking at her: "You patrol around like this, you will wake me up even if I fall asleep."
Lin Zhexia went into the room and took a look at his bed: "Your quilt is so tidy, it looks like you haven't slept at all, I shouldn't have woken you up."
Chi Yao: "Just about to sleep."
"Then you go to sleep." Lin Zhexia sat down cross-legged on the chair next to him, staring at him, "I'll leave when you fall asleep."
"..."
Chi Yao raised his eyelids, feeling that her words sounded outrageous: "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Zhexia: "Me, I was too full from the noodle shop just now, and I'm full."
"..."
It was rare for Chi Yao to fail her one day.
He didn't want her to spend any more time with him here, so he said casually, "I'll sleep when you leave."
Maybe it's too late now, Lin Zhexia was a little dizzy after running around for a day, so she subconsciously said what she was thinking: "You lie. You won't sleep when I leave."
…
The atmosphere became quieter in an instant.
It's like something suddenly fell into a state of sudden silence after something was said.
Chi Yao's Adam's apple moved, looked at her, and said slowly, "How do you know, I can't sleep."
That's all for now.
Lin Zhexia confessed: "You once came to my house to sleep. I found that you seemed to suffer from insomnia before the game."
"And yesterday, I sent you a message at three o'clock in the morning on purpose. I wanted to see if you slept or not. You almost replied to me. Although you only typed for a second, I still saw it."
After Lin Zhexia said what she wanted to say, she changed her sitting position a little uneasily, curled up her legs, and wrapped her hands around her knees: "But don't think too much, I will come here mainly because I am too boring to be alone at home Yes, and I really want to see the sea."
— not for you.
At least, don't let him know it's for her.
Although she herself didn't know why she couldn't reveal it, the voice in her heart told her so.
"By the way, let me supervise you."
She emphasized, "Very conveniently, extremely conveniently."
She is not very good at comforting people, and she is not in Chi Yao's position after all, so she doesn't understand those indigestible pressures, but after thinking about it, she said: "Besides, competitions don't have to be ranked. "
The girl's eyes were bright when she spoke: "Even if you didn't get the ranking, you are still the most powerful one in my heart."
Chi Yao looked at her and didn't speak for a while.
He didn't sleep all night last night, and he didn't feel sleepy until he went out.
He just feels tired.
A certain string that cannot be let go has been stretched.
There will be a lot of sounds constantly surrounding the ears.
—You're sure to be fine, I'm not worried at all. There are six people in the team this time, the teacher has the most confidence in you.
— Oh, competition, you should be fine. I still have something to do with your dad, so hang up first.
— First place, I have a reservation for you. I, Xu Ting, will just take second place.
—…
Even further back, earlier.
—You are alone in the hospital, are you okay?
—You are not in good health, of course not, we don't want to take you.
—He is sick all day.
…
In the past, people always thought "no", so he was particularly strong, wrapped up the whole person, refused to bow his head and refused to show weakness, and looked invulnerable, until later everyone began to acquiesce in "you can do it".
Until he was seventeen, no one seemed to say "it's okay" to him.
And, even if you can't, you are the best.
But at the train station, at the moment when Lin Zexia unexpectedly appeared, that string seemed to start to loosen.
Then turn to the present, the string seems to have been touched very lightly.
It was very light, very light, but completely relaxed.
Chi Yao felt his throat was a little dry.
Some difficult words that had never been uttered gradually emerged from the bottom of my heart uncontrollably.
But between him and Lin Zhexia, there is no need to say so much, some words seem to be passed to each other silently.
So he finally suppressed those words.
He sat down on the side of the bed, propped his hand on the soft pure white quilt of the hotel, all the drowsiness that had been suppressed before came up, his ending sound was a little longer, and he looked at her again when he spoke: "So, how are you going to put me to sleep. "
