Chapter 4 Chapter two

"I heard that lemons in Naples, Italy, are bigger than oranges." Tang Jihe told Li Chuanfang on the bus. "real?" "Napoli's specialty blood orange is said to be bigger than a grapefruit." Tang Jihe said again. Li Chuanfang smiled: "Then, are the grapefruits in Naples bigger than watermelons?" "I've never heard of that." "Have you ever seen lemons from Naples?" Li Chuanfang asked. "No! If there is a chance to go to Italy, I will go and see it." "If I can go to Italy, I will go to Rome and Florence first." Li Chuanfang said longingly.

"Okay. Let's go together if we have a chance." Tang Jihe said with a smile. Li Chuanfang smiled and did not answer.When the bus stopped, she stood up and said: "I have arrived." Tang Jihe stood up quickly and said, "I want to get off too." "Didn't you get off the bus in two stops?" "Walk, you can lose weight." "You're already very thin." The tall Tang Jihe didn't have any extra flesh on his body.Losing weight is such a poor excuse. After getting off the car, Tang Jihe suddenly asked Li Chuanfang: "Are you a Pisces?"

"Ok." "I'm a Cancer. The horoscope book says that the best relationship between a Cancer and a Pisces is a lover." "Do you also read constellation books?" "I heard from my sister." When we got outside the apartment, Li Chuanfang said: "I'm here, see you tomorrow." "See you tomorrow." Li Chuanfang turned around and found Tang Jihe was still standing there, smiling and waving at her, as if he didn't intend to leave at all. Did Tang Jihe like her?If it wasn't interesting, why would you deliberately wait for her to finish class together every day, and then drive home together?It's a pity that Tang Jihe is not her type, it seems that his efforts were wasted.

Tang Jihe is Li Chuanfang's classmate in the art school.It had been a few months since the class started, the two of them, and two other classmates, Yu Baozheng and Wang Riyu, were able to get along relatively well.Tang Jihe seemed to be a little different to her.He never dated her, but his tone of voice when speaking to her was always very intimate. A year ago, Li Chuanfang broke up with Yang Zhipeng.That day, also on the bus. "What kind of life do you want?" she asked. "I haven't thought about it." Yang Zhipeng said.Then, he put her shoulders and said, "Probably a life with you."

In an instant, she thought of the next few decades of her life, which would be to accompany Yang Zhipeng to watch football games that she never liked, and every time she went shopping, she would also accompany him to watch the stereo, and endure that he was a person without any dreams. She couldn't imagine her future life. "What will happen to you if I kill someone?" She asked Yang Zhipeng. "How can you kill someone?" "I mean if." "Then I advise you to surrender." "Why surrender yourself?" "It's for your own good. If you surrender yourself, your sentence will be reduced." Yang Zhipeng said.

She doesn't want such a man.The man she wants is that after she kills someone, he will bury the body for her instead of persuading her to surrender.Even if she doesn't bury the body, she will take the blame for her. "The man who persuades you to surrender is the one who loves you." Yang Zhipeng said. "No!" she said. The man who buried her body, took the blame, and led her to escape was the one who loved her. "We are going to get off here." Yang Zhipeng said. Li Chuanfang looked at him in despair and said: "Yes, getting out of the car. Let's break up here."

"Why? Just because I persuaded you to surrender?" This may not be the whole reason.When you have no feelings for a person, you will find many reasons not to love him. After leaving Yang Zhipeng, Li Chuanfang went to the Academy of Fine Arts to sign up. She wanted to live another life. Before class that day, Tang Jihe put a heavy bag in front of her. "For you," he said. "What's here?" Li Chuanfang opened the bag to see, it turned out to be a bunch of fresh lemons. "Why are you giving me lemons?" "I wanted to send flowers, but the flowers are nothing special."

"It's not a lemon from Naples." "I'll give it to you in the future." "There are so many lemons, how can I eat them by myself?" "Not for eating." "Is it for covering the face?" "You are so beautiful, you don't need to put on your face. Put these lemons in a glass bowl and put them at home. They are more beautiful than flowers. Moreover, lemons are cheaper than flowers, and they are still edible and will not wither." "You're careful planning." Li Chuanfang teased him. Yu Baozheng walked over.Say:

"Why only give it to Li Chuanfang and not me?" Tang Jihe smiled and walked away. "Do you think Tang Jihe likes me?" Li Chuanfang asked Yu Baozheng while drinking coffee at Starbucks. Yu Baozheng smiled: "Anyone can see it." "However, he didn't pursue me. What does it mean to talk cheaply?" "Maybe he's testing you. Do you like him?" "I don't feel it." She said proudly. "You don't want to end up liking him." "I won't?" Back home, Li Chuanfang threw the bag of lemons into the refrigerator.

The next day, at school, Tang Jihe came over and asked her: "Are those lemons nice?" "Looks good? You should ask if it's delicious. My mother made lemon chicken with it." She deliberately lied to him. Tang Jihe was stunned for a moment. On the bus, silence hung between them like a dark cloud. "I'm getting off the bus." Li Chuanfang stood up. "Oh, see you tomorrow." Tang Jihe said coldly. This time, Tang Jihe didn't get off the car with her.She was used to walking that part of the way home.For some reason, tonight, she felt that part of the road was lonelier than usual.

Is Tang Jihe angry with her?If he wants to be angry, just be angry, she doesn't care. Back at school the next day, Tang Jihe's seat was empty. "He called me and said he was sick." Yu Baozheng said. Isn't he sick with anger?But why did he tell Yu Baozheng instead of her? During class, Li Chuanfang often looked at the empty seat.She feels guilty.Is it guilt?She couldn't tell whether it was guilt or longing. After school, Li Chuanfang went to take the bus alone.At that time, she saw Tang Jihe at the station from a distance.She came closer and saw that he was wearing a coat, his nose was red, and he looked a little haggard. It seemed that he was really sick. "Why are you here?" she asked. "I wanted to go back to class, but I couldn't make it in time, so I had to wait here for you to go home together." "Aren't you sick?" "I just want to infect you." He said with a playful smile. "You have such a bad heart." "Do you like men with bad hearts?" "I like the dead set," "I just happen to be that kind of person." "Your girlfriend is really happy." "I don't have a girlfriend." "That's strange, you are quite good at talking sweet words." "I only say it when I meet someone I like." Tang Jihe said seriously. "Well, is it?" she answered gruffly. "Your perfume is very sweet," he said. "Don't you have a cold?" "You can ask even if you have a cold, what kind of perfume is this?" "I won't tell you." "Why do you wear the same perfume every day instead of changing it to another scent?" "Some things don't need to be replaced," Li Chuanfang said. "Is there a reason?" Li Chuanfang lowered his head, raised it again, and never answered. "By the way, did you hear a rumor in school?" Tang Jihe asked. "What rumor?" "They all said we were in love." Li Chuanfang blushed, this Tang Jihe was clearly testing her. "I've never heard of it, it's not true at all," she said. "You don't think about me, do you?" Tang Jihe asked seriously. "Do you really want to know the answer?" At this time, Tang Jihe pointed to the bus that had just arrived and said, "It's here." At night, Tang Jihe was sitting alone in the small room, using the computer to do homework while listening to Xia Xinju's Channel A. A girl called into the show and said: "I don't know if he likes me." "Can't you see it?" Xia Xinju said. "He seemed to be very nice to me. He would deliberately come to me and say, 'Other people say we are in love, what do you think?'. However, he never dated me." "do you like him?" "I didn't like it at first, but now I have a little bit." "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marks streamed from the audio player, and Tang Jihe smiled fascinatedly.Outside the room, his two younger sisters were chatting.He heard them discussing him. "He is at home every day, how can he have a girlfriend?" said his eldest sister. "He's so lonely and doesn't like to talk. It's strange that girls like him!" said his second sister. At home, he was a silent man, and no one knew the real him.It's better this way, he has more of himself. Li Chuanfang was lying on the bed with four fresh lemons spread on her face.Tang Jihe said that she was so beautiful that she didn't need to apply lemon on her face.Is he a compliment, or is it sincere?Those are probably flirting, right? Tonight, she missed Tang Jihe a little bit.The molested woman turned out to be happy.Love is always the most beautiful when it is worrying about gains and losses.If it never begins, it never dies.But, who would be tempted not to start? Richard Marks' "Right Here Waiting" was in the air.A girl said on the show that a man seemed interested in her.How could this story be like her own? She took the lemon from her face and went to the front of the closet to pick out tomorrow's clothes. "You are getting more and more beautiful in your clothes, are you wearing them for me to see?" Tang Jihe whispered in her ear during class. "Who said it was for you to see?" She refused to admit it. Rather than wearing it for Tang Jihe to see, it is better to say that her clothes are for love. On the weekend, she and Yu Bao were shopping at Esprit, and she picked out several sets of clothes. "You often buy clothes recently, are you in love?" Yu Baozheng asked. "No. Tang Jihe didn't pursue me." "But he's got your attention." "Is there such a man? He deliberately teases you, and then waits for you to pursue him." "This kind of man is the most annoying." "What kind of man do you want?" "He can cook, and his cooking skills are top-notch." Yu Baozheng said. "It's that simple?" "It's not easy for a man who can cook. In the future, when he has his own restaurant, I can still draw pictures on the walls." "You think so far." "What about you? What kind of man do you like?" "I met a very cute man. That day, it was our first date. We went to eat Spanish food. I talked a lot about myself. I don't know how long I talked, maybe an hour or two. All of a sudden, he stood up, his face twisted into a ball, and he put his hands under his stomach and said, "No! I want to go to the bathroom." It turned out that he had always wanted to pee, and he held it back for a long time. " "Why did he endure it?" "Because he saw me talking so happily and couldn't bear to interrupt me. Is this kind of man stupid and affectionate?" "To be so stupid and affectionate, you must have a bladder with an extra-large capacity." Yu Baozheng said. Li Chuanfang smiled, and that person was Yang Zhipeng.The first love is always memorable.Unfortunately, later on, she thought he was too stupid, he didn't even know what kind of life he wanted. Walking out of the fitting room, Li Chuanfang caught a glimpse of a person, isn't that Yang Zhipeng?Yang Zhipeng was wearing a powder blue, hand-knitted sweater with a scorpion knitted on his chest, and was shopping with a girl holding hands.The sweater has his initials in English on the sleeve. Wasn't he very sad when we broke up?He's in love again so soon, still wearing the woman's knitted sweater. Li Chuanfang quickly pulled Yu Baozheng into the fitting room and closed the door. "What's the matter?" Yu Baozheng asked. "I saw my ex-boyfriend." Li Chuanfang said in a low voice. "The one with the Scorpio?" "How do you know he's a Scorpio?" "His sweater has a big scorpion knitted on it. Everyone knows he is a Scorpio, right? He is with a woman." Li Chuanfang looked in the mirror and said dejectedly, "I can't go out now, I don't look good today." "Woo... woo... woo..." In Starbucks, Li Chuanfang lowered his head and sobbed. "Is he the one who held back from going to the bathroom for you?" Yu Baozheng asked. "Ok." "You didn't want him, why are you crying now?" "How could he fall in love with someone so quickly!" "How long is it too fast?" "At least five to ten years." Yu Baozheng said with a smile, "I think so too. The man I abandoned would take five to ten years to love another person. However, it would take him a lifetime to forget me." "Or, he will reject other women and wait for me." Li Chuanfang said. "The probability of this is too low, right? There won't be such a man." Yu Baozheng said. Tonight, she missed Tang Jihe all night.The phone beside the bed rang, it was Tang Jihe calling.Before he could speak, she first said, "Can you go out with me?" Tang Jihe was waiting for her on the street.Li Chuanfang walked out of the apartment wearing a turquoise skirt that she just bought today, like a fresh green apple. "Looking for me so late, do you miss me?" Tang Jihe teased her. "Don't you want to see me?" "I'm afraid you don't want to see me." He said mischievously. "Do you like me?" she asked bluntly. Tang Jihe's face flushed red.After a while, he stammered, "I think you misunderstood." "I misunderstood?" Li Chuanfang was so embarrassed that she felt as if she had suddenly become a rotten apple. "We got along very well, but I didn't mean that." "Then why did you say that to me? Why do you ride in the car with me every day and get off early? Why do you say that Pisces and Cancer are the best lovers. What do you really want?" She questioned him. "I'm sorry, I was just joking with you." Tang Jihe said timidly. "Are you kidding me? I really had a great day today! Thank you!" She ran home in shame and indignation. For a long time, at school, she and Tang Jihe didn't chat like before, and he didn't ride with her in the car. Why did he deny it when she liked him? She hated this Tang Jihe to death.However, on the night when she took the bus home alone, she would miss the days when he was by her side.She thought about his sweet words, and the scene where he waved to her dreamily outside the apartment.She missed every lemon he gave. Then one day, Tang Jihe took the bus home with her.They sit side by side.He put away the previous frivolity and asked sincerely: "Are you still mad at me?" "No more." She smiled. "Really Sorry." She shrugged and said, "There's nothing to be sorry about." "I'm getting out of the car," she said. "You haven't arrived yet." "I'm going to do some shopping. See you tomorrow." "See you tomorrow." Li Chuanfang bought a large pack of fresh lemons in the supermarket.She suddenly understood Tang Ji and this kind of man.He may be a silent man at home.He pretended to be so frivolous, just to cover up his timidity.He loves to flirt but has no guts to love.In case she killed someone, Tang Jihe would never tell her to surrender, he would report her. She puts lemons in a glass bowl.The scent of lemon refreshed her small house.Tang Jihe is right, lemons are more beautiful than flowers, they will not wither.She kind of misses those Neapolitan lemons she's never seen.
