Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven

Maybe it was Xiao Xiao's words that made Chen Lu wake up a little bit. It's been a long time since I went home to look for Xiao Xiao. The bored Meixi often lay on the balcony and watched the people passing by in the street. , no one can solve it. The hibiscus on the street has flowers of different colors, purple, pink, and bright red, like two large country-style cloths hanging on the street, lively and tacky flowers, under the care of wind and dust Withering day by day, it's like one after another love that begins before the curtain ends. In another three months, Gu Haiyang will be back, but the exact date of the trip has not yet been determined. Every day that passes, she crosses out a day with a highlighter, and the date under the calendar blooms into a small connected fluorescent flower, like a blooming Wan Huayuan in Xiao Xiao's heart.

In summer in Qingdao, the relative humidity is too high. Although the temperature is not high, it is so stuffy that people want to peel off the skin on their body and throw it away. But when she got up, she dragged her to swim in the beach, and Meixi said sickly: I am a landlubber. Throughout the summer, Meixi seemed determined to turn into a moss and refused to walk in the sun. Xiao Xiao had nothing to do with her. It happened that the Children’s Palace opened a summer dance class and encouraged her to practice ballet. Show her the stiff lower leg movements: I'm an old man with old arms and legs, what did I practice for?

Do you think everyone who practices ballet wants to dance to Swan Lake on stage?It's all about getting in shape!It is said that practicing ballet will make people look elegant and have a natural nobility. Men's mind is to marry a lady and play a sassy girlfriend, you know? Meixi looked at her eagerly with her beautiful eyes: Afraid I won't be able to get married? No, I promise you can marry better by practicing ballet. free?Meixi questioned like a rogue. I will pay for the tutoring class for you.Xiao Xiao wanted Meixi to go out and sweat, fearing that she would be bored at home. Whenever she was worried about Meixi, she would suddenly feel that the sympathy between women and women was cleaner and warmer than that from men. It's heartbreaking.

The next day, Meixi went to Gase, the dance class taught by Xiao Xiao. Most of the summer dance classes were boys and girls aged 16 or 17, who had no foundation in dance and didn't need it. Most of them wanted to practice their physique. Meixi put on the practice clothes that Xiao Xiao threw to her, walked around the practice hall, then leaned on Xiao Xiao's ear and said bitterly: Tsk, I have never felt so old like now. Xiao Xiao dragged her, and pressed one of her legs on the exercise rack: "Practice quickly, and I didn't ask you to pick a young boy to fall in love with, old or not old."

There are only two boys in the dance class. The fat boy said bluntly that he came to lose weight during the interval between exercises. Before that, he participated in countless weight loss activities, but they all ended up halfway. Because of lack of motivation, all the men and women around him were fat. They always gave him the feeling that the meaning of life is to fight fat to the end. He is fat, but he hates fat people as much as he hates fat. What he wants here is visual difference, surrounded by beautiful women, which will stimulate him to persevere in the battle of annihilating fat.

His words always make the girls tremble with laughter, but they always run to the boy named Qi Xiaolu after laughing, even though things are rare and expensive, it is an unbreakable truth between men and women , whenever there is a choice, girls still choose to like Qi Xiaolu who is a little tall and thin. The melancholy in his eyes is like a boundless pool of clear water, deep and clear. broke their hearts. When sending him to sign up, his mother told Xiao Xiao that she hoped that through this summer ballet class, her son's slightly hunchbacked back could be trained into a tall and straight poplar.

The fat boy who was neglected often stood by the side, watching Qi Xiaolu silently sitting on the exercise rack with envious and envious eyes, smiling and refusing the snacks and cold drinks offered by the girls. During the break, Meixi and Xiao Xiao were sitting on chairs, and she pointed to Qi Xiaolu with her chin: If my life is like a piece of moss, then his heart must be full of moss. Xiao Xiao wiped the sweat off his forehead, and took a look at Qi Xiaolu: that child is too silent, I hardly ever saw him speak, I think it's not that his back is bent, but that he doesn't want to look up at the sun, Some people hate sunlight by nature and keep the curtains closed at home during the day. Most of these people have an artistic temperament, and too bright sunlight will make them dejected.

Meixi smiled a little: I am of the same kind as him, but I like to challenge the sun, he is avoiding it, I don't know what the nature of the moss in his heart is. Xiao Xiao tapped her on the head: Don't be curious about a child, it is said that love usually starts like this. Meixi jumped up: What are you talking about, it seems that I am hungry, even a little boy with no hair on his mouth will be spared. Just as she was talking, Xiao Xiao’s cell phone rang. She tuned it to the vibration during class, and danced in the desk drawer next to the podium, making the table rattle like rats grinding their teeth. She took it out with a smirk, and wanted to pick it up for her, but seeing that it was Chen Lu's name, she stuffed it into her hand, and stood by the wall to watch her quietly.

Chen Lu seemed to have drunk alcohol, his tone was slightly depressed, and there was some noise in the background, Xiao Xiao asked: Why is it so lively over there?Already drunk? Chen Lu said that your place is also very lively, I am at the bar, will you come? Xiao Xiao said forget it, I still have classes here later, don't get drunk. Chen Lu said lonely: "It's okay, can I get drunk?"An old song was played here just now, and I suddenly thought of you, do you still remember the song you sang at our graduation ceremony. "Olive Tree"? Chen Lu said: Those times are memorable for a lifetime, Xiao Xiao, all the years before going to the United States are memorable, I want to hear you sing that song again.

No, I am surrounded by students.Meixi looked at Xiao Xiao, waved her hands and smiled, walked slowly to Qi Xiaolu, sat on the practice pole next to him, swinging her slender legs, tilted her head to look at Qi Xiaolu: You don't like talking? While talking to Chen Lu, Xiao Xiao looked at Meixi for a while. Her hair was tied into a fiery red ponytail and her long legs were rippling on her bare back, like a ball of fire burning on her fair skin. , there was still a drop of crystal sweat on the pointed chin, she tilted her head, looking at Qi Xiaolu like a kindergarten aunt coaxing an unhappy child, Qi Xiaolu looked at her, her pale face was like a child with lung disease, panting There was a slight flush, and when he looked at Meixi, his eyes wandered, like a bird looking for a safe place to hide, but he couldn't find a safe place, and even if he found it, he was unwilling to hide in it, because the outside There is longing for excitement in danger.

Chen Lu was obviously drunk, his words were decadent and wordy, and he said stubbornly: Xiao Xiao, you sing that song to me, I feel that the simple happiness in the past is getting farther and farther away from me, you sing that song , even if it’s just humming, let me review the years gone. Xiao Xiao couldn't resist him, so he had to hold his mobile phone and hum in the corridor softly. After singing, it seemed that Chen Lu hadn't finished talking. Xiao Xiao said: I can't chat with you anymore, the next class will start soon. Chen Lu said that's fine, and hung up the line reluctantly. Xiao Xiao returned to the practice hall and clapped his hands twice to the students. Everyone sat up from the floor, and Meixi also took Qi Xiaolu's hand and jumped off the practice pole. Xiao Xiao explained the essentials while doing demonstration actions. When he bent down, he swept up from the bottom and saw Qi Xiaolu secretly looking at Meixi in front of him with his face turned away. Xiao Xiao snickered in his heart, knowing that Meixi She played a trick on this inexperienced little boy, the giver had no intentions, but the recipient had intentions. When correcting her movements, she walked up to Meixi, leaned on her ear and said: Don't seduce good boys. Meixi stared at her with white eyes, but said nothing. During the 40-minute class, Meixi kept flirting with Qi Xiaolu. Xiao Xiao knew that she was upset when she saw Chen Lu calling her, so the more she refused to let her do something, the more she would get angry at her. After class, everyone picked up their things and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Meixi kicked and followed behind Xiao Xiao with a towel in her hand. Said: The little hairy child who is in love is not to be provoked. Meixi lazily said that I got it, but I was afraid that he would provoke me.After finishing speaking, he turned his back and wiped the shower gel on his body desperately, until his whole body looked like a milky white bubble man. After washing, they planned to go home together. After leaving the Children's Palace, they saw Chen Lu's car parked at the entrance of the Children's Palace. The golden sunset was reflected from the car window, like a piece of bright and mottled gold. Chen Lu tilted his head and lay on the steering wheel He was already asleep, Xiao Xiao walked over and pushed him: Chen Lu, you're so drunk, you still dare to drive, why didn't the police catch you? Chen Lu rubbed his sleepy eyes, opened the car door, dragged Xiao Xiao to the co-pilot seat and closed the door. He didn't see Meixi standing at the rear of the car looking at him with tender hope. Seeing this, Xiao Xiao hurriedly said, "There's Meixi."As he spoke, he poked his head out and said, Meixi, you open the car door and come up. The hope on Meixi's face was like a garden that was devastated by a storm in an instant. Because of her disappointment, she turned into a mess of anger. She pouted her mouth and said disdainfully: He is so drunk, he has the guts Pull me, I haven't the guts to sit yet.After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked in the other direction. Seeing Qi Xiaolu standing on the side, looking at him with some timid expectation, he smiled brightly, took his arm, and said: Let's find a place to eat . Xiao Xiao's heart flickered for a moment, and he became uneasy for no reason. Chen Lu drove the car around aimlessly and didn't speak. Finally, at an intersection, he was stopped by the traffic police because he crossed the yellow line at a red light. The tow truck of the traffic police was towed away, he stuffed the driver's license into his wallet, shrugged at Xiao Xiao and said: That's it. After finishing speaking, he walked forward, Xiao Xiao chased a few steps and said: Chen Lu, do you have something on your mind? Chen Lu shook his head in front and said: I want to find motivation for my life. Xiao Xiao chased after her and said: Let's fall in love. With love, you feel that everything is possible. Chen Lu stood down, raised his head, and cast his lonely gaze to the sky: It is precisely because I don't want to have love, or I can't have love, and I can't give happiness to anyone. Don't be too pessimistic, as long as you are willing, there are many beautiful women waiting for you to say you love her. Chen Lu smiled wryly and waved his hand: I know myself better than you. The two walked for a while, Xiao Xiao went to a small supermarket on the street and bought two bottles of fruit juice, and handed him a bottle: drink some, hangover. Chen Lu took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, sniffed it, and said: What a wonderful smell. But he didn't drink, and walked forward with a swing in his hand, Xiao Xiao was a little worried: Do you want me to take you home? Chen Lu chuckled and said: How can you ask a beautiful woman to send a gentleman home? As it was getting late, Chen Lu stood by the side of the road, looked at Xiao Xiao, and asked word by word: Do you know what I regret the most in my life? Xiao Xiao wanted to ease his sentimentality, so he joked: Didn't you tell Sheng Mei that you love her earlier? Chen Lu shook his head and said seriously: No, he is going to study in the United States. how come?Xiao Xiao was surprised. She still remembered that after Chen Lu received the notice to study abroad at public expense, he had a big banquet with friends and foes, and the carnival lasted for a week. But this is true.Chen Lu walked to the side of the road and held out his hand to hail a taxi: It's better for the gentleman to take the beauty home. When he got downstairs, Xiao Xiao saw that Chen Lu was still a little bit drunk, fearing that he would be in a worse mood if he went back and left alone, so he asked him to sit upstairs and drink some tea before going back. Perhaps it was because when a person was drunk, he was as fragile as a baby, so Chen Lu obediently went upstairs with Xiao Xiao. At the door, Xiao Xiao looked at his watch, and remembered that Meixi and Qi Xiaolu had gone to eat together, and probably hadn't come back, so he took out the key to open the door, before he opened it, he heard footsteps inside, Meixi not only came back Yes, and with Qi Xiaolu. Meixi quickly glanced at Chen Lu who was following Xiao Xiao, and without saying hello, she left them and ran back to chat with Qi Xiaolu. Seeing that it was Xiao Xiao, Qi Xiaolu retreated to the sofa and called Teacher Xiao in a low voice. , her face turned red, and she moved her hands uncomfortably, as if trying to wring out water. Meixi stood in the middle of the living room, watched them for a while, and suddenly, wanting to make a decision, sat down beside Qi Xiaolu, holding the remote control and talking and laughing with Qi Xiaolu, as if the two people standing there did not exist at all. . Chen Lu joked through the wine: Meixi, long time no see, how about enjoying a cup of tea? Meixi said angrily: You are not my guest, why should I give you tea.As he spoke, he tilted his head to look at Qi Xiaolu and said: What programs do you like to watch. Qi Xiaolu whispered: Whatever... Meixi laughed aloud, saying that I like to hear men say this sentence.Still put the remote control into his hand: Here, I will watch whatever you watch.He leaned against Qi Xiaolu again, patted the vacated sofa and said: Xiao Xiao, sit down. If Xiao Xiao just felt a little embarrassed at first, when he saw Meixi's feet, he became angry. Between the tea table and the sofa, Meixi's feet were pulled out of the slippers presumptuously, swinging gently Swinging on Qi Xiaolu's ankle, Qi Xiaolu's face was as red as Guan Gong's, and he lowered his head silently, and from time to time, he would peek at Xiao Xiao nervously. Xiao Xiao suppressed his anger and gave a low cry.Meixi raised her eyes, looked at her bewitchingly, and smiled meaninglessly. It's not good for Xiao Xiao to lose her temper in front of so many people, and she also knows her temper, so she won't let herself get angry and keep silent. She can say anything when she is anxious, and she doesn't care about others' embarrassment. Embarrassing, no matter whether others can bear it or not. Xiao Xiao pulled Chen Lu: Come on, let's go for a walk. When he walked to the door, he turned around again and tried to say in a peaceful voice: "Qi Xiaolu, your mother should be waiting at home, go back early." Qi Xiaolu nodded in embarrassment, Meixi took the lead and said: Xiao Xiao, Qi Xiaolu is an adult, you think he is still a baby who needs to go home on time to nurse. Xiao Xiao had no choice but to drag Chen Lu downstairs with resentment, and ran like a storm along the way. Chen Lu trotted after him and shouted: "Grandma, can you show compassion to the drunk who has no roots under his feet, can you walk slowly?" Without looking back, Xiao Xiao sneaked into a cold drink shop on the side of the street, ordered the largest ice cream in two classes, and filled his mouth with hatred, eating until his mouth was in a mess. Chen Lu knew that she was angry. Just tease her and say: Don't be so ladylike, no matter how angry you are, you can't give the beauty Santa's beard, right?As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of tissue paper and handed them over. Xiao Xiao took it, wiped his mouth vigorously, stared at the street outside the cold drink shop, was stunned for a while, threw the crumpled facial tissue on the table and said: I have to go back. She was suddenly worried, and Meixi was driven by her unruly temper, dragging Qi Xiaolu, a melancholy and fragile young man, into a swamp from which he could not extricate himself. Chen Lu stared at Xiao Xiao in a daze as he swept across the street at the end of Xia again like a storm, and turned the corner in a flash. Chen Lu put his hands in his trouser pockets, glanced at the lonely sky, and walked slowly towards Xiao Xiao's direction. Walk slowly over. Xiao Xiao went upstairs, stomping the stairs on purpose. When he reached the door, he was wondering whether to take out the key or knock, but the door opened. Qi Xiaolu flashed out from the crack with his head down. He looked at the door shyly. With one glance at her, the voice of Teacher Xiao was stuffed in her throat like a mosquito, and she never dared to look at her again and rushed down. Xiao Xiao held on to the railing, watching him almost rushing downstairs, sad He shouted angrily: Qi Xiaolu! Qi Xiaolu suddenly stopped his steps, also leaning on the railing, looked up at her, smiled suddenly, and said goodbye to Teacher Xiao. Just turning around for a short while, Xiao Xiao still saw the traces of lipstick that had been rubbed off on one side of his face. Xiao Xiao felt a buzzing sound in his head, kicked the door open, and looked at Meixi aggressively: You can really do it, he is a 17-year-old kid? Meixi sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, looked at her sideways and said, "Please, in the old society, a 17-year-old man could be a father. Don't be so old-fashioned, okay?"Right now, there are many junior high school students who can use condoms proficiently. Don't disturb me unreasonably, we don't live in the old society, I can't just watch you ruin Qi Xiaolu, he is my student, I have to be responsible for him. Meixi raised her eyebrows, and turned on the TV: You have no responsibility to him other than teaching him to practice ballet. You'd better not interfere with my private life. Could it be that you have someone you miss in the distance and a crush by your side? Yes, and I can only stay lonely in my empty youth? Meixi, what do you mean?Don't force your attempted crush on others, okay?Chen Lu is just my classmate, so if you like him, I will force him to love you? Please, keep Chen Lu to satisfy your vanity, why am I so miserable that you need to force a man to love me? You... Xiao Xiao was so angry that his whole body trembled, knowing that he was not Meixi's opponent in the bickering, he just trembled his hands, letting the tears roll down. Xiao Xiao... Xiao Xiao turned around and saw that it was Chen Lu, who was arguing fiercely and didn't hear when he came in. Obviously, Meixi didn't know, she opened her mouth in surprise, and wiped her lips subconsciously, because she kissed Qi Xiaolu, her lipstick It has been incomplete and mottled. Chen Lu pulled Xiao Xiao up: What's the noise, go outside to get some fresh air. Chen Lu pulled Xiao Xiao away, and when he turned around and closed the door, he took a deep look at Meixi and sighed. Meixi listened to the sound of footsteps fading away on the stairs, covered her face, and curled up dejectedly, her tears squeezed out of her fingers one after another like a school of fish coming with the tide, finally, finally, she lost her voice cry bitterly. This mournful sadness is not because of not being able to get Chen Lu's love, but because she finally, unintentionally destroyed the beauty that had been whitewashed for a long time in front of Chen Lu, her expectation, finally, like a winter night A heavy snow fell to the ground in fragments. Her crying gradually turned from unbridled to mournful, and she dipped her fingers in tears and drew circles one after another on the bare arms on the bare feet, one after another overlapping each other. She stopped crying, tears were still falling, she thought of some people in these years, they traveled through their lives, but no one scolded her mercilessly like Xiao Xiao, yes, Xiao Xiao's words were like sharp needles that pricked her nerves, making her anger explode in an instant like a watermelon hit by a heavy object. Since childhood, almost no one has criticized her, even the man and woman she called her parents, they always watched her make a fool of herself lazily, and watched her humiliate herself silently, just like watching a growing plant Not a local sapling, they watched her and let her fend for herself in the wind and rain. When she saw a parent scolding a child and crying loudly on the street, what appeared in her eyes was yearning but envy rather than sympathy for that child. This kind of scolding is a kind of love, the love she has been missing. Even, in order to get such reprimand, she did something wrong on purpose, deliberately left the love letter to the boy open on the table, she just wanted to be reprimanded by them, and felt that she was cared about by them. However, she only got a more indifferent rejection. But now, Xiao Xiao has fulfilled her wish, she stares at her life like an older sister stares at a naughty younger sister, lest she hurt herself again and again. Perhaps in the eyes of others, she is a bit mean, but she is obsessed with Xiao Xiao's scolding, like a glass of warm wine in a winter night. She wanted to call Xiao Xiao and ask her to forgive her self-willedness, but she held up the phone for a long time and then put it down again. She is not a soft-spoken person, at any time. In the end, I sent a text message and said: Sorry, I was wrong. Xiao Xiao texted back and said: You should go to bed earlier, tonight, I will not go back tonight, I will go home and sleep. Meixi held her mobile phone, looked at it several times, and buried her head in her knees. She remembered the child named Qi Xiaolu. When she kissed him, he looked at her with panicked eyes and his hands in the air. , as if she couldn't find a place to put them, she caught them and put them on her waist, then, she kissed him, put her hand into his shirt, opened his belt, and then she guided him She unbuttoned the bra behind her back with her hands, and when only one necklace was left on her body, she saw the child, who suddenly rolled her up and laid it across her lap. She smiled, and took his hand towards the bedroom... She guided the flustered Qi Xiaolu to complete the transformation from a boy to a man. He sat between her legs, stroking her body fascinatedly, and suddenly he slid out of the bed, knelt at the foot of the bed, and buried his face On her abdomen, the hot liquid slid on the bed along her lower abdomen, and colorless flowers bloomed. She held his face and said: Don't cry, a man should be like a beast, he doesn't know tears What is it. She held his chin, looked at that immature face like a mother looks at a child, put clothes on him one by one, then patted his face and said: Don't worry, I won't tell Teacher Xiao. Qi Xiaolu stopped suddenly, looked at her and asked: Why can't you tell Teacher Xiao? She'll scold me because you're a child. Qi Xiaolu stared at her blankly, buttoning up the buttons on his shirt one by one. When he left, he imitated the heroine of the TV series and held her in his arms domineeringly, saying every word: I am not a child Now, I am a man, I know what is love and what is responsibility. She just bit her lip and smiled, and later, she thought, there was a hint of evil in her smile. Qi Xiaolu said: Meixi, my name is Qi Xiaolu, a big man Qi Xiaolu. This 17-year-old man was actually responsible for Meng Lang's behavior just now after the first fish-and-water relationship. Thinking of this, the sky was getting brighter. Suddenly, she felt an unstoppable panic in her heart, wanting to escape . She knew that Xiao Xiao asked about the details of last night, and she dared not tell. She actually messed up a 17-year-old boy's longing for love with a playful gesture. Because of her, what will Qi Xiaolu think of women when he becomes an adult?The love he didn't understand, this first sex in his life, would eventually become his sorrow. She panicked, felt horrible, felt like a witch, wanted to repent, but couldn't find the direction of God's forgiveness. Xiao Xiao went home to sleep, and wanted to leave a quiet night for Meixi to reflect on, how could a 17-year-old boy be seduced casually?She was so afraid of being thrown into the dark night by loneliness, so today, she was determined to throw her into the night, and let the loneliness punish her to wake up. The night she went back to sleep, her mother was very happy, and ran to the kitchen to cook without asking her if she was hungry. Xiao Xiao suddenly felt that she was very selfish, was she afraid of getting fat? The old lady was left alone at home, and every day, she didn't know how to endure the loneliness that came from being out of tune with this city. After a while, my mother brought a golden pumpkin pie, pushed it in front of her and said, "I saw that this pumpkin is fresh, so I bought it. I plan to make pumpkin pie for you to eat on Sunday." Xiao Xiao lost his appetite, so he couldn't bear to brush off his mother's kindness, so he ate a few, and said while eating: Mom, it's so delicious. I'll bring some for lunch tomorrow. The mother beamed with joy, and went to the kitchen again. Xiao Xiao felt that he was only coming back to see her on the weekend, and that he was not doing well enough, so he also ran into the kitchen, watched her busy, and chatted with her. Gu Haiyang, this is a topic that both of them are passionate about. Xiao Xiao is talking about Gu Haiyang's experience in emails, and his mother is talking about his mischievous childhood. The next day, in the afternoon, the dance class started, and Xiao Xiao's tense heart finally relaxed when she didn't see Mei Xixi, thinking that she was still sensible, but also blamed herself a bit, and dragged her to do some body training when she had nothing to do. As long as she doesn't come, everything will be fine. However, things are not as simple as she imagined. Before class, she saw Qi Xiaolu looking out of the window from time to time. As the class time got closer, the gloom in his eyes gradually seemed to be overwhelmed by dark clouds. Xiao Xiao took a picture. Clap your hands and say: Class has begun. Qi Xiaolu's mind was still outside, so Xiao Xiao called him: Qi Xiaolu, pay attention. Qi Xiaolu raised his head, glanced at her, and asked abruptly: Teacher Xiao, do you know why Meixi didn't come today? Xiao Xiao froze for a moment, she didn't expect this seemingly melancholy and silent boy to be so brave to ask her about Meixi in public. All the students looked at her, then turned to Qi Xiaolu, and there was a low and long wow—— Don't worry about others, just go to class with peace of mind.Xiao Xiao didn't answer Qi Xiaolu's question directly, and then played music and said: Everyone watch my movements, come together. Qi Xiaolu lowered his head in disappointment, then raised his head again, stared at Xiao Xiao, walked out through her line of sight, Xiao Xiao shouted: Qi Xiaolu, we are in class. Qi Xiaolu ran to the corridor and said loudly: You are in class, Qi Xiaolu is on the way to love. There was a burst of laughter in the practice hall, and the naughty girl shouted, "Qi Xiaolu—Come on!" With a thud, Xiao Xiao's heart fell to the ground. Xiao Xiao was in a panic, and Qi Xiaolu didn't come back until the get out of class was over. During the break, he called Meixi and asked: You have caused serious trouble, do you know that Qi Xiaolu has come to find you? Meixi snorted and said that I didn't tell him the address of the unit and he couldn't find it. Xiao Xiao sighed, and hung up the phone without saying anything, her heart fluttered, she wanted to call Qi Xiaolu's mother, but she didn't know what to say to her, so she didn't. On the way home from get off work, I received a call from Meixi. The bus was crowded and messy. I could only hear her anxious tone, but she couldn't understand what was going on. She said loudly that you should wait for me at the station next to our house. Putting the phone away, seeing a few pairs of eyes looking at her sideways, she felt a little embarrassed, shouting at the top of her voice in public has always been regarded as uneducated behavior by her, everyone in the car had a hard day, Most of the men took advantage of taking a nap, while the women were thinking about what to buy and bring to the table after getting off the car, to comfort their families after a hard day. This is a residential area, and most of the people who should go back have returned. Few people go out at this point. After the people who flocked to get off the bus are gone, there is only a lonely newspaper stand and Xiao Xiao at the station. There is no shadow of Meixi. Xiao Xiao stretches out his hand I went to touch the phone, but I didn't find it for a long time, but I found a hole. I looked carefully, and suddenly realized that those slanting eyes were not condemning myself for speaking too loudly, but reminding myself that someone was cutting. her bag. It seems that these greedy thieves not only scratched her calfskin handbag and took away her purse while she was answering the phone, they were not greedy enough to steal her mobile phone again, looking at the calfskin bag with a huge and ugly Xiao Xiao wanted to cry, but stomped his feet resentfully, found a small coin from the small bag on the side, called Meixi's public phone, and immediately asked, "Where are you?" Meixi Thief said: It's in the duck blood vermicelli restaurant we often go to, come quickly, I'll treat you to dinner. Xiao Xiao hung up the phone, turned around the corner, and entered the duck blood restaurant. Two bowls of duck blood fans had already arrived. Meixi handed her a pair of chopsticks flatteringly: First, I apologize to you, I shouldn't have gotten angry at you yesterday. What about the second?Xiao Xiao angrily threw the chopsticks on the table. Second, Qi Xiaolu sat on the stairs waiting for me, I didn't know what to do, here, eat first, it's hard to eat when it's cold. Xiao Xiao threw the bag on the table angrily: You paid for my meal this month, because the thief took the opportunity to raid my bag because of your broken phone. Mei Xi took a look at the bag, stuck out her tongue and said: Damn, the attack is really ruthless, I am afraid you will go home without knowing it, what if he follows me home and waits for me? Are you scared now?It's a pity that you still claim to be in love for many years, and you don't even understand the most basic principles of love. What principle?Meixi continued to curry favor with Xiao Xiao. There are two kinds of men you can’t touch in a love game where you just want to fall in love and not get married. One is young men who are just in love. The cat occasionally smells delicious fish, if you don't give it to him, he even has the heart to die with you. Meixi imitated her Sichuan accent and nodded repeatedly: I got it, I got it, why didn't Teacher Xiao say it earlier. How dare I teach you, isn't the elephant teaching the butterfly how to fly?The theft just now made Xiao Xiao panicked and lost his appetite, so he said wistfully: Hiding is not the way, I think Qi Xiaolu is serious.He also talked about his behavior in class today, then stared at Meixi with sharp eyes and said: You just kissed him? Meixi's face turned red, she lowered her head and kept stuffing fans into her mouth. I am asking you.Xiao Xiao said sharply. Meixi nodded. Your head is pointing insincerely.Xiao Xiao pushed Meixi's duck blood fans aside: Tell me the truth. Meixi turned her head to look out the window, but didn't speak. If you don't speak, is it the default? Meixi's tears rolled out, big and big, not because of fear, but because of regret. how could you do this?You may not be responsible for yourself, but have you ever thought about Qi Xiaolu?He is still a child, who is responsible for his love ruined by you?Xiao Xiao slapped his chopsticks, picked up his bag and went out. She was walking in the evening breeze, and the chrysanthemums on the side of the road had pulled out a few petals, trembling slightly. In the air of love in early autumn, she looked at Qi Xiaolu sitting at the top of the stairs from a distance, took a deep breath, and tried her best Walk over calmly: Qi Xiaolu, why are you here. Qi Xiaolu smiled, took out a cigarette and lit it: Teacher Xiao, you know why I stay here. He took a puff of his cigarette and was choked to cough. Xiao Xiao snatched his cigarette, snuffed it out and threw it on the ground: Smoking doesn't mean you're mature, it just shows your ignorance. Don't wait. Meixi has told me that she regrets it very much, and I hope you forgive her absurdity. Qi Xiaolu stared at her blankly, lowered his head deeply, and after a while, asked in a low voice: If she thinks I am too young, I will grow up slowly. It's not because of this, how can I tell you, you know, there are many situations where a woman can be with a man, and being together doesn't all mean love. Teacher Xiao...Qi Xiaolu lowered his head, rolling his feet back and forth on the ground. Qi Xiaolu, I understand your current mood, you go home first, okay? Qi Xiaolu stood up, walked a few steps, then turned back and asked: Teacher Xiao, did Meixi not come back to hide from me. Xiao Xiao knew that right now, Qi Xiaolu can't be soft-hearted, it's better to pour a basin of cold water on his head, and the tactful comfort will only hurt him, so he nodded. Qi Xiaolu said I got it, Mr. Xiao goodbye. Xiao Xiao waved to him, and watched him disappear at the corner of the street before he let out a sigh of relief, dragged his heavy legs, went upstairs, changed his slippers and called Meixi, telling her that Qi Xiaolu had just left , let her stay and come back later, just in case he was still wandering around and happened to bump into him. Meixi almost wants to thank you a thousand times. Xiao Xiao said, I don't need your thanks, as long as you don't cause troubles like asking me to deal with the aftermath for you. Xiao Xiao went online and looked at the emails. Gu Haiyang said that the head office recruited a colleague who was in charge of his current business from the South Korean branch to be his assistant. It is estimated that he can come back after the Korean assistant is familiar with the business. . Xiao Xiao looked at the desk calendar, and in half a month, it will be a year since Gu Haiyang went out. She closed her eyes and thought about Gu Haiyang's appearance for a while, then smiled sweetly, replied to his email, got up and Today's day was crossed out on the desk calendar, I picked up my pajamas to take a shower, came out, wiped my hair and turned on the TV, checked all the channels, but couldn't find any interesting programs, so I turned off the TV again, looked up I checked the watch on the wall, it was almost half past ten, and Meixi hadn't come back yet. It was very quiet on the stairs, she went to the window, raised the curtains and looked out, the sky was blue and blue, high and far away, the people on the street were already sparse, some people in twos and threes were rushing home through the garden in the middle of the street On the way, the air was filled with the slight smell of the sea blown up by the wind. Will Meixi be stopped by Qi Xiaolu on the way home?Xiao Xiao was worried, picked up the phone and called her, it took a long time to get someone to answer, Meixi said in a panic, Xiao Xiao, I'll be right there. Xiao Xiaoen let out a cry, and said, do you want me to pick you up? Meixi said yes, come down and pick me up. I'm in the flower garden on the left of the entrance of the community. Xiao Xiao said that she would go down immediately, and didn't ask any more questions, and there was no need to ask any more questions. It is estimated that Qi Xiaolu didn't leave at all, but waited and blocked her on the road that must pass through Meixi. Xiao Xiao changed her clothes and went downstairs, and went straight to the place Meixi had mentioned. When she arrived, she saw only Meixi was left on the flower wall of the flower garden, staring at the direction she came from, without saying a word. Xiao Xiao looked around, and sure enough, she saw Qi Xiaolu looking at them from a distance with his hands in his trouser pockets. Under the dim moonlight, she couldn't see his expression clearly, but from his standing posture, he could see that he was very proud. , like a hunter who has finally won. Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: Go quickly. Meixi was like a child who had lost her mind. She let her lead her back and staggered back. After entering the house, she burst into tears and said, "When I came here, he jumped out all of a sudden and dragged me like a robber."着我就走，他说他不会允许我就这样离开他，他抱着我一会笑一会流泪，肖晓，我该怎么办？ 难道你会等他长大成人嫁给他？肖晓没好气地说。 我当然不会，我觉得他固执得发狂，这很让我害怕。 像他这个年龄的男孩子容易较真，单纯和他谈道理说分手，你休想离开他，唯一让他离开你的办法就是让他唾弃你，一直唾弃到了绝望。 眉西泪光闪闪的眼睛亮了一下，说：是呀，我怎么忘记了世上有很多男人愿意玩爱情游戏。 肖晓叹了口气说：你还是早些找个男人嫁了吧，顾海洋快回来了，我陪不了你多久了，我真有些担心你。 眉西拉着她的手，慢慢说：我也厌倦了以前的日子。 两个人都很怅然。 肖晓发现，她和眉西都太低估了齐小路，他每天来上课，都会问一遍：肖老师，眉西今天不来了吗？ 肖晓就面无表情地说：眉西退班了，她不会来了。 齐小路就用扬起的眼角看她，眼神里有不置可否的森森感，带着隐隐的嘲弄，肖晓被他一挑一挑的眼神挑得心神一惊一惊地跳。 每天黄昏，齐小路都会坐在门口的擦脚垫子上，依着门，两条长长的腿摆在楼道上，像个被家长在不经意间锁在门外的大孩子，看见肖晓上来，就站起来，驯良无比地站在肖晓身后，肖晓若是犹疑着不想开门，他就低低地叫肖老师…… 肖晓只好开了门，他跟在身后挤进来，垂着长长的胳膊，在客厅里站一会，然后坐在沙发上，一句话也不说，也不看电视递给他报纸也不肯看，只是望着对面墙上的镜子，望着镜子里的自己，实在无聊了，就用一只手的指甲挑另一只手的指甲缝隙，好象里面很脏，藏匿着诸多的灰尘有细菌，他的指甲长的很好看，半圆型的，像一枚枚弧度优美的小型鸟卵，闪烁着粉红色健康光泽，干净而透明，他总是挑啊挑啊的，把指甲缝都挑得发红了，像要流血，肖晓看得难受，便不再看了，顾自去做自己的事。 眉西本来就应酬多，通常会比较晚回来，因着齐小路的事，就更不敢早回来了，当她回来，齐小路就会站起来，迎着她走过去，眉西不理他，他就跟在眉西身后转来转去，最初，眉西还为齐小路所感动，即使厌倦，也不忍表现在脸上，久了，就成了忍无可忍，她时常突兀地站下来，猛然地转了身，冷言冷语地摔过来，直刺齐小路的的自尊：算我求你了，别再说爱我了好不好，你个小破孩懂得什么叫爱？ I know.齐小路定定地看着她，脸色愈发苍白。 眉西啪地摔上门，从里面锁了，再也不肯开，齐小路垂头丧气地站在门外，固执着，不肯走。 肖晓就推推他，说：回家吧，她心情不好，你就别招惹她了。 肖老师，我真的很爱她。 肖晓说知道了，你回家吧。 因为齐小路，眉西几乎不回家睡了，即使回，也在凌晨蹑手蹑脚做贼状，肖晓也不想每天晚上看一人木头一样坐在客厅里尴尬，干脆就回妈妈那边住了，中间回去过几次，远远见齐小路坐在门口就折回去了，给眉西打电话通风报信，顺便问她要不要过来和自己一起住。 眉西就苦笑一下说：这些年别的没攒下，就是攒了好多张可以过夜的床，想想真可笑，驰骋情场多年，我竟被一个17岁的孩子逼得落荒而逃，不过，你放心，我会处理好的。
