Stay away from...other boys.

Lin Zhexia froze in place.

It wasn't until other students came downstairs behind her that the aisle became crowded and someone touched her from behind, then she regained her senses and walked down.

Lin Zhexia knew it shouldn't be, but she still couldn't restrain the expectation in her heart, and asked him after walking down, "Why do you want me to stay away from other boys."

Chi Yao has already turned around and continued to walk forward. He said the most deceptive words to children in the coldest tone: "Because you are stupid, you can easily be deceived by bad guys."

Lin Zhexia followed behind him and whispered, "You are stupid."

"What about you," she asked after a while, "are you any other boy?"

"I?"

He slowed down, "Of course I don't count."

When Lin Zhexia followed, he turned his head to look at her, said "tsk" and said, "The other boys mean all the boys except me—remember."

The three members of the Nanxiangjie team reunited in a western restaurant near the university town.

When He Yang appeared, Lin Zhexia was sitting next to Chi Yao and looking at the menu. Seeing He Yang coming in, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

He Yang took the time to go to the barber shop last night to have his hair dyed, with a wild gradient red on his head, he appeared at the restaurant door in a hurry.

He sat down confidently: "Have you ordered the dishes? I want the steak to be medium rare."

Lin Zhexia and Chi Yao agreed tacitly without speaking.

He Yang asked again: "Why, you are so handsome that I am speechless?"

And then, like so many times in childhood, the two spoke at the same time—

Lin Zhexia: "Ah..."

Chi Yao: "Look in the mirror."

He Yang: "Don't you think my brother is so handsome? By the way, don't tell my mom. I deliberately waited until I entered the school to dye it. She knew that she might have to take a taxi overnight to Lianyun Normal University to beat me up."

Chi Yao was already too lazy to comment.

Lin Zhexia finally said, "Just as long as you are happy."

He Yang and Chi Yao haven't seen each other for more than a year, and for more than a year, he rarely received a reply to the messages he sent to Chi Yao. He thought that compared to Lin Zhexia, he might have the feeling of reunion after a long absence .

Fortunately, the relationship between the three of them is strong enough, and they have experienced too many things together in childhood, but there is no real sense of strangeness.

On the contrary, it is more fresh.

Because it is a college student.

When eating, Lin Zhexia was slowly cutting the steak, Chi Yao stretched out his hand from the side, and exchanged the plate he had cut for her.

Sensing that she was in a daze, Chi Yao asked, "What?"

Lin Zhexia couldn't help but said, "Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?"

Chi Yao understated: "Did I treat you badly before?"

She couldn't refute this sentence.

Because thinking about it carefully, although Chi Yao used to speak very poisonously, in fact, she has always been the best person in this world to her besides her relatives.

But she can't say, why don't you have a bad mouth now?

It seemed that she really felt uncomfortable if she was not scolded by him for a day. Weird.

While the two were chatting across from each other, the red-haired He Yang was cutting steak by himself.

Looking at the "ambiguous" situation in front of him, he contacted Chi Yao's phone call with no further details last night, and he probably realized that this master was going to take the initiative to attack.

He regretted it a little.

The meal was expensive, yes, but he really shouldn't be eating it.

I always feel invisible.

After the dinner, several people went back to school separately.

Lin Zhexia and Chi Yao walked side by side to the Lian University campus.

On the way, she couldn't help complaining about his new hairstyle behind He Yang's back: "It's really ugly, so ugly, doesn't he know that red looks black? Can be so confident."

"Then don't look at him, look at the good-looking one."

"What's so nice?"

"For example," Chi Yao said coldly, "me."

"..."

After Chi Yao finished speaking, Lin Zhexia subconsciously went to see him.

This person is undoubtedly very good-looking. It is good to see that he has been watched silently by many people since he was in middle school. The boy in front of him seems to have dressed up deliberately today. Otherwise, why would he wear a coat on such a hot day? It seems to be deliberately used for concave shape.

She finally retracted her eyes uncomfortably, and said, "Do you want face?"

Chi Yao didn't speak.

He has always been a very face-saving person.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but think that if he could catch up with her shamelessly, he didn't have to.

In other words, when he met again and decided to chase her, he had already put these aside.

Chi Yao sent her back to the bedroom as usual.

On the way, he urged: "Go back and send me a copy of the schedule."

Lin Zhexia exchanged her schedule with him like she did in high school: "Then send me yours too."

"Row."

"You should have class this afternoon, right?" Lin Zhexia asked again, "We have a break in the afternoon. We have just started school. There are not many classes, and we have to prepare for military training in two days."

While talking, the two had already walked downstairs to the dormitory.

The last time Chi Yao sent her back was at night, so Lin Zhexia didn't notice that there were many girls coming and going at the door, and most of these girls would take a look at them whenever they passed by them.

Lin Zhexia: "You go, I'm here."

She added, "You don't need to send me to the door in the future, I can go by myself."

Chi Yao didn't answer her directly.

Instead, before leaving, he said deliberately, "Wait a minute, help me look at my ears."

Lin Zhexia: "What happened to your ears?"

With that cold and wanton face on his face, he pulled the corner of his mouth, lied and didn't write a draft: "It's okay, it just hurts a little."

It will hurt.

That must be the side with the studs.

Lin Zhexia was still holding the book, and she involuntarily hugged the book even tighter, then took a step forward, actively shortening the distance between her and Chi Yao: "Yes... is there something wrong with the earrings?"

Chi Yao acquiesced, in order to facilitate her inspection, she bent down a little.

All of a sudden, the distance between the two people was pulled closer.

"I can't see anything wrong," Lin Zhexia looked carefully, "There is no redness or swelling. Is it a sudden pain? Have you ever had pain before?"

Chi Yao: "Suddenly."

Lin Zhexia: "But I really can't tell..."

Chi Yao interrupted her: "If you can't see it, you may have to touch it."

"..."

touch. one. Down.

These three words are completely out of line in Lin Zhexia's dictionary.

She blinked, but didn't react for a long time.

She was very familiar with the silver earrings in front of her eyes.

And it's entirely because of her that Chi Yao wears earrings, and she also chose this earrings by herself.

What I did with Chi Yao in high school is still vivid in my memory.

It's just that I didn't expect Chi Yao to wear it until now.

Lin Zhexia hesitated for a moment, then she raised her hand nervously, and touched his earlobe with the fastest speed.

The silver earrings were cool, but his earlobe was hot.

Lin Zhexia's fingertips seemed to be on fire.

Immediately afterwards, the cheeks also burned together, and he began to speak unsteadily: "No, I didn't touch anything. You can check it later, it may be that there is something wrong with the earrings, you go back and clean it up. I'll go back first .”

After she finished speaking, she ran into the dormitory without turning her head.

This time the heartbeat was more violent than last time.

I didn't press down for half a day.

Completely out of proportion.

After the dormitory building lights out at night.

The other roommates were chatting about the topic of today's class, unlike last night, now that everyone is familiar with each other, the dormitory has gradually become lively.

Lin Zhexia lay on the bed unable to sleep, tossed and turned for a while, couldn't help sticking her head out from under the quilt, and called Lan Xiaoxue's name.

Lan Xiaoxue was drawing a picture: "What's the matter?"

Lin Zhexia hesitated: "I...something has happened recently, and I feel very troubled. If you have time, can I chat with you for a while."

Lan Xiaoxue put down the pen in her hand: "Okay, you say."

"My boy, you've all seen him. I think he's been a little weird recently."

After finishing this word order, Lin Zhexia instinctively felt familiar.

She remembered that when she was in high school, she didn't know that she started to like Chi Yao and asked Chen Lin, but the person who became very strange at that time was her.

Lan Xiaoxue: "Your brother, why is it so strange?"

"...He's not, forget it." Lin Zhexia skipped the title, "I can't say it, but recently I got a little too close to him. I used to know him very well, but it was between good friends. That kind of familiarity seems to me recently to feel a little..."

kinda...

There were two words at the end of this sentence, which she couldn't utter, and which she hesitated, but which became more and more clear in her heart.

"Ambiguous, isn't it?" Lan Xiaoxue put it bluntly.

"He is very ambiguous towards you." Lan Xiaoxue didn't think the word ambiguous had anything to do with it at all, "Did you just find out? I told you on the first day, don't talk about it with me. Maybe so."

"How?" Lin Zhexia asked.

"Let others misunderstand your relationship."

Lan Xiaoxue made this sentence more clear: "Which good friend would let the people around a good friend misunderstand that they have an affair? Is this a good friend? This is obviously a conspiracy. Look, you treat him as a good friend. Have you been vehemently denying it, telling people that you are friends and that you have no other relationship. But he has no relationship at all."

Lin Zhexia's heartbeat jumped again following Lan Xiaoxue's words.

Lan Xiaoxue finally concluded: "I think he likes you."

Although her heart was beating all the time, Lin Zexia blurted out: "Impossible."

"Why do you think it's impossible?"

"Because...we are too familiar with each other, how could he like me."

Lan Xiaoxue heard something from her words: "Then do you like him?"

"You like him," without waiting for Lin Zhexia to respond, Lan Xiaoxue admitted directly for her, and then said, "If you can like him, why can't he like you? Between the two of you, there is a kind of relationship between the two of you. The distance that can’t be entered, hey, we used to be friends, but when we grow up, we fall in love with each other, why is it impossible.”

When Lan Xiaoxue said this, someone else called her, so she didn't say any more.

The conversation breaks off.

Lin Zhexia was lying under the quilt, and for the first time, the thought that was completely impossible in her heart popped up uncontrollably.

She began to think seriously: Is there a one in ten thousand possibility that Chi Yao will also like her.

In this high school age, she didn't dare to think about things.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, it burst out from the deepest part of my heart.

Before going to bed, Lin Zhexia couldn't help looking through her recent chat records with Chi Yao.

It seems... Chi Yao's every reply is very ambiguous.

She watched it for a while and sent him two messages.

-Are you asleep

- you go to bed early

Chi Yao also returned two.

-understood

-Good night

Lin Zhexia typed in the chat box: Are you not calling today...

After typing, she deleted this line before sending it out.

As if she wanted to sleep with him on the phone.

Lin Zhexia: Can you sleep?

Chi: ok

Lin Zhexia: Does your ear still hurt?

Chi Yao's reply was a bit slower this time.

She held the phone and waited for two minutes before the phone vibrated.

Chi: After you touch it, it’s much better

Lin Zhexia's drowsiness was repelled by this line of words.

She panicked: Don't say such things next time, it's easy to be misunderstood.

But after she finished editing, she didn't have the courage to send it out.

In case, she was thinking too much.

If Chi Yao didn't mean that at all, both of them would become very embarrassed if she said this.

So she can only ask: what are you doing

-In the bedroom

-listen to their chatting, maybe going to a back street dinner tomorrow night

Lin Zhexia and Chi Yao put down their phones and fell asleep after chatting here.

But it was a coincidence that their dormitory also had dinner in the back street the next night.

At night, the back streets were decorated with lights and festoons, and many restaurants had tables and chairs on both sides of the road. Just as she was wondering if she would meet Chi Yao, Lan Xiaoxue saw the other side of the street with sharp eyes: "Your brother."

Lin Zhexia turned her back to the commercial street, and turned around when she heard the words.

Chi Yao and three other boys came from the other end. There were many people in the back street, but no matter how many people there were, he was always the most outstanding one in the crowd.

Originally, the young man just casually followed the other three people with his pockets in his pockets. He seemed to think that the street was too noisy. His brows and eyes were slightly lowered, and the sense of alienation in his whole body was still very strong even if he was five meters away.

After a while, he raised his eyes and looked ahead from a distance.

Then, like Lin Zhexia, he saw her in the crowd at a glance.

In the end, two groups of people fought for a table.

Lin Zhexia looked at the four people who suddenly appeared, and dragged the chair to the side to make room for them.

After Chi Yao sat down beside her, she asked, "How did you see me?"

"Am I blind?"

"..."

A group of people briefly introduced themselves, and when it was Lin Zhexia's turn, she had just announced her name, and several other people in Chi Yao's dormitory said repeatedly: "I know, Chi Yao's girlfriend, I understand, I have known you for a long time. "

"...???"

Lin Zhexia looked dazed and sat back.

At the dinner table, others began to chat.

Lin Zhexia lightly touched Chi Yao's arm, and asked awkwardly, "Why do they say I'm you, girlfriend."

Chi Yao leaned back: "Not sure."

How can you not know...

But before continuing to ask, Lin Zhexia remembered what Lan Xiaoxue said last night: Which good friend would let people around a good friend misunderstand that they are having an affair.

Lin Zhexia didn't have the courage to continue this topic, she wanted to know the answer, but was afraid of knowing the answer.

Under such complicated emotions, she casually picked up a glass of drink beside her and took two sips.

Sweet and sour, the taste is not bad, but there is an indescribable taste besides sweet and sour.

Lin Zhexia didn't think much, and drank two glasses after a meal.

By the time she realized that this "drink" didn't seem to be a drink, her head was already dizzy and she couldn't control herself.

"Chi Yao," she touched Chi Yao's arm again and grabbed his sleeve, "Why is your head getting bigger?"

Chi Yao glanced at her.

"Don't move around, you're dangling like this, I'm so dizzy."

"I didn't move," he asked, "what did you drink just now?"

Lin Zhexia: "Drink."

Chi Yao glanced at the cocktails on the table: "A few glasses."

Lin Zhexia stretched out her hand and compared four fingers: "Two cups."

"..."

Before this day, Lin Zhexia never thought that it was the first time in her life that she would be so embarrassed when she was drunk.

The party is over, and the others go back to the dormitory first.

She squatted at the corner of the back street, leaning on the wall and retching. Chi Yao handed her a tissue at the side.

She tried unconsciously to pick it up, but didn't.

So in her vague memory, she saw the young man facing the mottled lights of the back street silently squatting down, pressing the back of her head with one hand, and wiping her with a tissue in the other hand.

Very light, carefully, carefully.

As if she was some kind of precious and fragile object.

After wiping, she heard Chi Yao's voice in her ear: "Can you stand up?"

She leaned on the wall, still a little wobbly.

Then the next second, a hand appeared in the field of vision.

The joints are distinct, and the fingers are slender. Even if she is unconscious now, she can use half of her reason to praise her good looks.

This hand has led her to do many, many things together, has led her to weave scarves, and pressed the strings of the piano.

Lin Zhexia wanted to hold Chi Yao's sleeve and pull Chi Yao's clothes away like in high school.

However, the person who stretched out his hand didn't give her this chance. Chi Yao's hand followed the trend, grabbed her hand silently, and forcibly clasped her palm, leading her hand to the other side of the long street.

"Come on, you coward with a bad drink."

Lin Zhexia's brain, which was already out of control due to alcohol, suddenly became chaotic.

Crackling, like a power outage.

It is also like countless fine circuits bursting out some kind of spark.

Because she was drunk, she felt that the road under her feet was empty, and she was about to float up. The whole world was empty, only the hand she held with the young man was real, and the other party was holding her fingers tightly. The body temperature uploaded by the opponent's hand is also real.

Lin Zhexia was led all the way by him, halfway there, he suddenly shook off his hand.

She felt that she was on the verge of losing control, and some words that were hidden deep in her heart and dared not say all flowed from her mouth: "Why did you tell my roommate that you are my brother?"

The girl's face was flushed because of drunkenness.

Eyes blurred but still bright.

"Why does Fang Huai think you are my boyfriend, why even your roommate, the first time you met me just now, also said that I am your girlfriend—"

"Why...you let them think that way."

Speaking of this, she was actually a little aggrieved.

She thought that if it was a joke, it would appear that she cared like a fool at the moment.

Because he is the one she likes, the one she can only secretly like since high school.

"We are obviously not."

She said word by word, "If you are like this, it will be easy for others to misunderstand."

After speaking, she unexpectedly started to wake up.

It may be because I also know that these words cannot be said, at least, they cannot be said so bluntly.

So she kind of knocked herself out.

She waited anxiously and regretfully for Chi Yao's response. She expected many kinds of answers, among which the most likely one was Chi Yao's explanation.

But no.

The person standing in front of her not only didn't even explain, but even asked her: "What about you, are you starting to misunderstand too?"

After a little soberness, Lin Zhexia's words were not as direct as before, but she had already reached this point, and now she couldn't avoid talking about it, so she lowered her head, did not look at him, and said hesitantly: "If you are like this, Of course, I would also misunderstand..."

Her voice was getting smaller and smaller.

Then, it was covered by Chi Yao's voice:

"You are not mistaken."

Lin Zhexia was stunned, she suddenly raised her head and bumped into Chi Yao's eyes.

When Chi Yao looked at her, his eyes were very deep. He stood under the street lamp, his throat moved slightly, and the young man's cold and sloppy voice was dry due to nervousness: "I did it on purpose. Lin Zhexia, I'm chasing you. Is it hard to see?"

"If it's not obvious enough," he said again seeing her delay in responding, "...I'll try again tomorrow to make it more obvious."
