"What are you thinking about?"
Xue Shao felt a pair of cold hands covering his eyes. Although it was cold, the soft touch quickly pulled him back to reality from his wild thoughts.
He didn't sleep well last night … not because he was thinking about Xu Jiayi, but because of the mysterious shop owner. He was so scared that he couldn't sleep in the first half of the night, and the second half of the night.
"Nothing, just thinking." Xue Shao shook his head, looking at Xu Jiayi up and down.
She didn't dress up, only wearing a casual outfit … and didn't even put on light makeup.
Xue Shao was surprised to find that Xu Jiayi's skin was still as good as that of a young girl even though she was 27 years old.
Her face was a little deeper, and her hair was longer, so she was a little taller. The rest didn't seem to have changed — just like the little action of covering his eyes.
"Then let's go." Xu Jiayi held Xue Shao's hand without saying anything.
Her natural action made Xue Shao absent-minded … because he didn't feel awkward.
Yes, he didn't.
…
It seemed that Xu Jiayi had arranged the route for today. They each bought a shared bike outside the hotel. Xu Jiayi rode the bike and rushed forward, letting Xue Shao chase after her.
Xue Shao never knew that this woman could have such good physical strength. He thought that it was probably because of the geological exploration that her physical strength would eventually improve.
But … he couldn't catch up with her.
Xue Shao gasped, glancing at his belly which couldn't be covered even if he wore the loosest clothes. He was thinking that perhaps he should lose some weight.
But Xue Shao had to admit that the route Xu Jiayi arranged was good.
This city was a coastal city, so they rode from the hotel along the mountainous greenway, taking in almost half of the city's scenery.
Finally, Xu Jiayi stopped at the hillside. She held the handrail and looked down — Xue Shao was still pedaling hard to climb the slope.
She was up there, not far away. The wind lifted her hair. Xue Shao almost exhausted his strength every time, feeling that the 10-meter uphill road was very long.
She seemed to have become unreachable.
But he still chased up with all his might. It was only when he finally arrived at the stop that he felt a sense of success.
But Xu Jiayi had got on the bike again. Under Xue Shao's horrified gaze, she slid down the mountain. Her expression seemed to be saying, "Lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol
It was as if he had no intention of letting him catch up to him.
Last night, she had said that she couldn't help but want to play with him whenever she saw him.
Xue Shao rubbed his forehead and thought it was lucky that it was only the way down the mountain.
"Don't run! Wait until I catch up to you! I won't let you go!! "Xue Shao shouted from behind.
She laughed cheerfully in front of him. Her laughter was like a song, drifting halfway up the mountain.
Xue Shao remembered one time when he borrowed a new car from his classmate and drove her to the suburbs. She sat behind the car … and smiled like this too.
The journey down the mountain was surprisingly short. It felt like it was less than a quarter of the journey.
As for time, it was the same.
Soon, very soon.
…
Their next stop was the famous food street of this seaside city — just below the hillside.
"There is no sugar painting here." Xu Jiayi said with disappointment even though she was carrying a bunch of things.
"It can't be helped. That kind of things are getting less and less. Not to mention this place, the old man who set up the stall on the way to school is also gone. "Xue Shao shook his head.
"Ah … I see."
Xu Jiayi sighed with disappointment, but she recovered soon, "I'm not happy. Xue Shao, you have to treat me to the cotton candy over there, then I'll be happy."
"… You can still eat?" Xue Shao opened his mouth in surprise and then smiled, "Well, you always eat a lot. Your stomach is like a bottomless hole."
"But I don't get fat!" Xu Jiayi stuck her tongue out at Xue Shao and ran quickly to the cotton candy stall.
Really, had it been 11 years?
"But do you still want to eat lunch later?"
Xue Shao followed her subconsciously.
Yes, he had been following her back.
…
But in fact, Xue Shao didn't eat as much as Xu Jiayi — Xue Shao found that he seemed to be abandoned by the Goddess of Luck. Last night, he used the excuse of not feeling well to cancel today's social engagement. Unexpectedly, he walked into the hospital of this strange city.
The reason was … he ate something wrong.
It must be because the food in the snack stall was not clean — he had eaten there today — when he saw Xu Jiayi gulping down the food, he couldn't hold back his appetite.
"Sorry, I didn't expect to have infusion here. I wasted half a day of your time." Xue Shao's face was a little pale. He sat in the infusion room and looked at Xu Jiayi who accompanied him, saying apologetically, "I was supposed to accompany you today."
"So now you are accompanying me?" Xu Jiayi looked at the clock on the wall and said.
When Xue Shao was about to speak … his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and was stunned. At the same time, he found that Xu Jiayi was also looking at him.
"Girlfriend?" Xu Jiayi suddenly asked.
Xue Shao nodded. He didn't intend to deceive her.
So she just smiled and said she would leave for a while. When she left … he saw that her shoulders seemed to be lower.
It was Wan Zishan's call. She talked about some trivial things. She said that the wedding photos were ready and he could see them when he came back. She also wrote a lot of invitations and gave some to his old class monitor to send to his former classmates.
Xue Shao agreed and was very patient. He hoped that Wan Zishan didn't end the call so soon.
He also looked at the clock on the wall silently, counting how many times the minute and second hands had passed.
Because he … didn't know how to face the woman who said to leave. No, he didn't know how to face her from the moment they met in the hotel.
…
It was just an acute gastroenteritis. He didn't need to stay in the hospital after the injection and the doctor prescribed some medicine. But Xu Jiayi didn't take the initiative to talk to him since they left the hospital and on the way back to the hotel.
They looked at the scenery outside the window. The driver probably thought that they were a couple who were quarreling.
They got off the car in front of the hotel.
Xue Shao plucked up his courage and said, "I'm going to get married soon."
Xu Jiayi wasn't too surprised. Her calmness didn't surprise Xue Shao … He knew how much time had passed since he answered the call and returned to the hotel.
"Do you have time tomorrow?"
This was Xu Jiayi's response.
So he got the same response as yesterday. But his mood was different and his stomach was upset … He didn't know whether he would meet the mysterious boss in his room tonight.
…
…
Another night. Xue Shao couldn't fall asleep in the first half of the night. But he was too sleepy in the second half of the night and finally fell asleep.
He didn't know whether the mysterious boss had come here secretly or not. But after a night's rest, his stomach didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
Xue Shao met Xu Jiayi in the breakfast restaurant of the hotel. They had made an appointment last night.
He saw Xu Jiayi sitting there and eating. It seemed that she had been here for some time. Seeing Xue Shao, Xu Jiayi smiled and waved her hand.
Xue Shao walked towards her, but he started to be absent-minded.
He suddenly compared Wan Zishan with Xu Jiayi — for example, Wan Zishan would always order good food for him and wait for him to eat together, even if she was hungry.
But Xue Shao thought that there was no need to compare two different characters.
Xue Shao poured two cups of coffee and then came to the table. He put two packets of sugar and a small cup of milk in one cup of coffee and kept the other one for himself.
He pushed the brewed coffee to Xu Jiayi in a natural and skillful manner … But he froze after delivering it to Xu Jiayi.
Two packets of sugar and a cup of milk … this was Wan Zishan's taste.
"Another packet of sugar? I like it sweet. "Xu Jiayi smiled," As a gentleman, you should do it to the end. "
Xue Shao added another packet of sugar awkwardly.
…
Xu Jiayi didn't ask anything about Xue Shao's marriage.
Yes, she didn't mention it at all, as if she didn't know anything about it. Instead, she kept talking about today's arrangement.
Xue Shao suddenly found that he didn't have the right to ask her anything — what she had done these years, whether she had a boyfriend … or even whether she was married.
It seemed that even though they had talked about the agreement, they had made a tacit agreement.
They agreed not to talk about their own affairs.
…
Xue Shao didn't want to ask about her privacy, but he couldn't help asking about some topics that could break the ice. In the sightseeing car, Xue Shao couldn't help asking her why she came to this city.
Xu Jiayi told him that she was forced to get married, so she ran away. She didn't plan to go anywhere, just bought a plane ticket and came here. She didn't expect to meet him here.
Finally, she looked at Xue Shao seriously, asking him whether he believed it or not. Xue Shao shook his head directly — if he believed it, there would be a ghost.
Xu Jiayi laughed, "Actually, I received the company's arrangement, so I flew here. But I didn't expect to meet you here, it's true. "
Xue Shao thought that it was probably the arrangement of the boss.
…
Not knowing why, Xu Jiayi was a woman who liked to eat … If she kept eating like this all these years and didn't get fat, it would be unreasonable.
It was as if she couldn't wait to finish everything that could be eaten.
"It's a pity that you can't eat."
Shaking the delicious food in front of Xue Shao, Xu Jiayi provoked him on purpose, teasing him as usual.
Xue Shao didn't pay attention to him and just stared ahead.
Xu Jiayi suddenly held his hand.
She took the snacks and held his hand as they walked on the quiet path.
But it suddenly rained.
…
"Oh, why is it raining? The weather forecast didn't mention it. "Hiding in front of a shop, Xu Jiayi looked up at the weather.
Xue Shao also looked at it, "Maybe they just had sex. After all, it's the seaside, so it's normal … Well, I think it's good here. There's a shopping mall on the opposite side, let's go … Oh, we can go there through the tunnel. We can walk around the shopping mall. "
Xu Jiayi looked at him, blinking her eyes.
Xue Shao felt that she didn't grow up … at least her blinking action didn't change.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"You've changed." Xu Jiayi looked at Xue Shao seriously, "You've really changed. When you were little, you weren't so calm. You must be very annoyed and scolded God. "
"I've grown up." Xue Shao smiled, "Now I still scold God and the rain will still fall, but I still have to live. I can't be like before, because time can't go back. "
'Time … can't go back.'
'Then what am I chasing?'
But Xu Jiayi suddenly held Xue Shao's hand, rushing into the rain, towards the shopping mall on the opposite side.
Xue Shao was curious about her action, but he didn't have time to ask.
They rushed into the lobby on the first floor of the shopping mall, almost soaking wet. Xu Jiayi looked at Xue Shao and said, "Wait for me here."
Xue Shao didn't know what Xu Jiayi was going to do … maybe she wanted to tease him again.
…
Waiting was always a long time, especially for a woman.
Standing in the lobby of the shopping mall with wet clothes, like an idiot … Xue Shao had never thought that he would be in such a mess.
He didn't care about the gazes of the people around, but the point was … it was a bit cold.
Achoo —!!
He had to sneeze. It was his body's protest … and probably because he had gastroenteritis yesterday and was drenched in the rain today.
"Xue Shao!"
Xu Jiayi's voice … was very loud, as if she was shouting from afar. Behind him, there was a distant shout.
He looked back and saw Xu Jiayi walking towards him slowly. She didn't wear wet clothes, but a new one … a set of student clothes that he didn't expect.
But it wasn't the same as before.
Xu Jiayi was a bit out of breath. Xue Shao was surprised that she could find this kind of clothes in the shopping mall. But … but she walked towards him, just like when she was 17 years old.
In front of the school gate, there was a girl wearing a school uniform, smiling and stroking her hair.
Xu Jiayi finally came to Xue Shao, with a trace of shyness in her eyes. She suddenly leaned on his shoulder, lowering her head and whispering, "Time, has it come back?"
Time didn't come back, but stopped here.
…
"Wait for me." Xue Shao suddenly said in a low voice.
After that, he ran up the stairs of the shopping mall … He no longer thought about any moral or rational things, but he had an unprecedented impulse.
It turned out that this impulse could tear apart all the thoughts … and this kind of impulse.
About half an hour later.
He came back to Xu Jiayi, wearing a set of … nondescript, but at least it looked like a student's clothes, and it looked very funny on him.
Xue Shao pressed his hands on his knees, gasping heavily, "Where … where did you find it … I, I only found it like this … but …"
He stood up, "Just put up with it."
Xu Jiayi suddenly kissed him.
It was a long kiss.
