Chapter 54 Section 4

I changed into my down jacket after drying my hair.Guessing that he had finished washing, he took his down jacket and waited for him outside the bathroom.When he came out, he didn't expect me to be waiting for him outside, so he was a little surprised.I put the down jacket on him, "Be careful too, one is hot and the other is cold, it is the easiest to catch a cold." While putting on his down jacket, he happily asked, "Is it cold?" I breathed into the air, and a white mist curled up, "The breath turns into frost." The two gently entered the house, and he pointed to each room and said, "My mother has bad legs and feet, so she lives downstairs. My brother and sister-in-law also live downstairs, Miao Miao still sleeps with her parents, and Jingjing lives opposite us. You Usually, if I need something and I’m not here, let Jingjing get it for you.”

After entering the air-conditioned room, I felt warmer and could finally take off my heavy down jacket. Lu Licheng asked, "Are you sleeping?" I pointed to the watch on the wall, "Are you kidding? It's so early, I can't sleep, what about you?" "It's normal for me to sleep at one or two o'clock." There is no TV, no computer, no Internet, and the two city people look at each other in dismay.After staring at each other for a while, Lu Licheng turned around and groped in the study for a while, then took out a chess set, "Do you know how?"

"I watched my dad play chess when I was three years old." The two sat cross-legged on the bed, ready to start fighting.I asked while placing the chess pieces: "The bathroom in your house is very special, did you make it?" "I just made a request that there should be a bathroom when building a house. The specific executor is Taozi. I heard from him that the original design was placed in the house, but I don't know what happened, so it became placed next to the house. Probably for the convenience of drainage." He asked me to go first, but I was not polite. He jumped on his horse and watched his pawns when he was on the gun mount.I started messing around with my car.Dad's catchphrase is "Three moves without driving, dead chess!" But Lu Licheng ignored my movements and started flying elephants and becoming officials.According to my father, people who play chess with this kind of method are either very good or very smelly, and Lu Licheng should belong to the first type.I began to raise my guard and go all out.

Twenty minutes later, I stared at the chessboard in disbelief, and Lu Licheng said gloomily, "I've been checked to death by you, what are you still looking at?" "Are you letting me in on purpose?" Lu Licheng shook his head, and I nodded, "I think so, you are not a gentleman." "Hey, hello!" Lu Licheng reminded me not to be too presumptuous. I was finally sure that I had won, and I just wanted to laugh out loud, but remembering that everyone else was sleeping, I could only suppress my voice and laugh.I beat Lu Licheng!I beat Lu Licheng! Lu Licheng said leisurely: "The live version of the villain's success."

"Hmph! I just thought you were jealous. You said, you are so cunning and insidious, how can you not play chess well?" Lu Licheng stared at me, and I immediately changed my words: "I mean you are so smart and quick-witted." He said with a half-smile, "Do you have a negative impression of me?" I wanted to answer him jokingly at first, but suddenly I noticed that his eyes were very serious, so I didn't dare to make jokes, and said honestly: "It used to be a little bit, but now it's gone. Actually, I've been bothering you recently, and I'm very grateful to you."

He said lightly: "After a day of running around, let's go to rest early." He walked to the small study and closed the door. I sat alone for a while, but couldn't figure out where I offended him, and I changed my face as soon as I said it, so I got up and knocked on the door. "whats the matter?" "There is no air conditioner, and you may not be able to get used to it now. Let this door open, anyway, you will wear a lot of clothes when you sleep in winter. Besides, with the door open, if you can't sleep, we can chat." Seeing that he didn't object, I opened the door.

I turned off the light and climbed into bed. The quilt should have been freshly washed and smelled of sunlight.The figure of that person under the sun appeared in front of my eyes again.Hainan will not be so cold, it will be very warm, and the sun will be very bright. He should smile in the sun.Does he think of me occasionally?Think of us cuddling each other in the cold wind?Probably not!Hainan is such a warm place, he probably wouldn't think of the snowstorm in New York... "Su Man." "Huh?" Lu Licheng's cry woke me up. "I've called you eleven times."

"Sorry, I didn't hear that." He asked, "Are you thinking about Song Yi?" I don't know what to say or what to say.I was silent, but the answer was already clear, and he didn't ask any more questions. In the silent darkness, I heard my own voice, so weak, so sad, so helpless, that I couldn't believe it was me who spoke. "Do you... occasionally suddenly think of Malatang? I mean...at a certain moment, such as in the dark, such as alone in the subway, such as walking on the road, such as hearing a song, or eating a food……" "If there are so many 'such as', you should remove 'occasionally' and 'suddenly'."

"I just wanted to know what you would do?" "I won't think of Xu Lianshuang." Maybe that's a way too—by refusing to acknowledge your wound, you can assume it doesn't exist. I don't know how long it will take for the wound in my heart to heal, let alone how long it will take for me to think of him calmly.I tried my best to forget, and I thought I could restrain myself, but at a certain moment, everything about him would come up like a tide, and I would feel as if I was at the bottom of the water, surrounded by sadness and despair.
