Xu Sui went out to buy an ice cream, wandered around aimlessly for a while, then felt bored and sat on a bench in the square, quietly finished the sea salt ice cream in his hand, passed the time and returned to school by car.
Throughout the night, Zhou Jingze didn't send another message.
The next day, Xu Sui woke up earlier, went to the library after washing, came back to class at 10 o'clock, and returned to the dormitory for a lunch break after lunch.
She lay on the bed, took out her mobile phone and flicked casually, subconsciously entered the social software with her fingers, searched Emily's social homepage, and it showed that Yesenin had updated a vlog.
No, this word did not appear in that era, it should be said that she shared a short video daily. Xu Sui clicked to open it, and it was her daily collection for the past week, with a total of about eight minutes.
The video shares Yesenin’s daily life of shooting magazines, the exhibitions she has seen, camera cuts, and various parties she attended. Xu Sui saw a boy with a sharp eye, appearing in the 5 minutes and 30 seconds video, which is only a three-second interval. In the profile shot, he sat on a chair and smiled lazily, lowered his head to light a cigarette, and stretched out his hands to hold the orange flame. The sparkling swimming pool behind him cut him into a slutty, unruly Zhou Jingze.
The camera flashed by, followed by Yesenin's daily life of painting oil paintings. She was wearing blue overalls, a little yellow hat, and a little colored paint on the tip of her nose. She was talented and beautiful.
The text in the last few minutes of the video is marked: I was too drunk and went to the hospital. Fortunately, I have friends. Xu Sui glanced at the date, it was last night, Zhou Jingze should have sent her there.
The camera cut, and in the early morning, the outside of the hospital was foggy, and a layer of milky white shrouded the trees. Yesenin was quickly discharged from the hospital the next day. She was photographing the road ahead, and there seemed to be a person following her, but she did not enter the country.
Yesenin said to the camera: "I saw siu mai sold in front, it smells so good, I haven't eaten it for a long time."
After finishing speaking, she held up her mobile phone and walked towards the breakfast shop, bought two siu mai and a cup of soy milk, and when paying, she yelled: "Hey, I borrow your mobile phone, I want to take a video."
The other party handed him his mobile phone, with a wide palm, clear and distinct knuckles, and a thin layer of calluses on the belly of his thumb.
Xu Sui's heart was pulled hard. If she doesn't know how good these hands are.
Just a few days ago, this hand with sharp joints was pressing her ribs repeatedly, and the sweat of the two dripped together, lingering at death.
Yesenin held the phone in his hand, his sleeves moved up, revealing a silver watch on his slender wrist, and then he made the payment smoothly, and the camera showed the code.
Zhou Jingze was still wearing this watch some time ago. When the two were sleeping together, she looked at it twice, and he took it off for her to play with.
Xu Sui was afraid of seeing anything again, so he hurriedly turned off the video, tears dripping down the screen of the phone, and his vision was blurred. She felt acid in her stomach and wanted to vomit.
She had already lost before she met Yesenin.
Liang Shuang was watching a movie in the dormitory, and when he heard a slight sob, he hurriedly turned off his iPad, with a shocked expression on his face: "Sui Sui, what's wrong with you?"
"No," Xu Sui said softly, with tears in his eyes and red eyes, "the lunch meal was too spicy."
So much so that she realized it later, and felt a burst of pain in her heart.
In the afternoon, after class, Xu Sui went to an off-campus convenience store to buy oden. When he passed the basketball court, there was a burst of applause.
Xu Sui couldn't help but stop and look over. In summer, when the shadows of the trees fall, there are so many people on the basketball court. The boys are waving their arms and running on the court, while the girls are biting a piece of mung bean ice cream, seeing the boy they like scoring a goal. The back of the eye was shining brightly.
She suddenly remembered that it was last summer that Zhou Jingze gave up the game because she fainted midway after scoring a goal.
Thinking of this, Xu Sui continued to walk out, and walked to a Vidley's around the corner. With a sound of "ding dong", the automatic sensor door of the convenience store opened, Xu Sui came in, and ordered Huazhi balls, chicken rolls, lotus root roast, chicken wings, bean puffs, etc. with the cashier, and a carton of milk.
She often comes to this restaurant to eat oden. The cashier knows her, and naturally knows her taste, and asked with a smile, "medium spicy?"
Xu Sui shook his head and said, "Let's make it more spicy, the kind that makes your stomach ache and burns."
She likes this kind of self-abuse to vent, otherwise, depending on her personality, she doesn't know how long she will hold it back.
Xu Sui took the tall paper box and was about to pay the bill with his mobile phone when the door of the convenience store opened with a "ding dong", and a smiling voice came:
"Your school is really big."
"Yeah, how about it, see the future pilot's eyes shine." Sheng Nanzhou answered.
The girl's voice is very nice, with a breath of smoke, and the clouds are calm and clear. Xu Sui turned his head and met a girl in mid-air.
This is the first time Xu Sui saw Yesenin. She is very beautiful in real life. She is wearing an oversise boyfriend loose shirt, revealing two thin collarbones loosely, hip-length shorts, hair like black satin hanging behind her, tall and thin Bai is the kind of beauty ten times better than the photo.
Yesening also saw Xu Sui, and was taken aback for a moment. Sheng Nanzhou stood behind him and looked down at the QQ group news. His brows were twisted into twists, and he asked, "I'll wipe it, it's emergency training again."
"It's okay, you go to training first." Yesenin looked back at him.
Sheng Nanzhou nodded, put the phone in his pocket, and hurriedly said: "You go around by yourself first, and Lao Zhou and I will treat you to dinner later."
"OK."
Sheng Nanzhou was in such a hurry that he didn't see Xu Sui who was standing by the snack shelf.
Xu Sui turned his head to pay, and then took the food and milk and planned to go to the table outside the convenience store. When passing Yesenin, her sleeve brushed Xu Sui's arm, and the material was very soft.
She smelled the faint scent of perfume on Yesenin's body.
Maiden of the pine forest of sergelutens, unapproachable Lengxiang.
Xu Sui walked to the table outside and sat down. The air was stuffy and hot. Even at five o'clock in the afternoon, the cicadas kept chirping, and the evening fire cloud was so thick that it was about to overwhelm.
She had just removed the chopsticks and was about to eat when a shadow fell aside. The first thing to be put on the table was a piece of whole wheat bread and a box of yellow peach yogurt.
"Hello, can I sit here?" Yesenin greeted proactively.
Xu Sui nodded, Yesenin pulled the stool away, and her long slender legs came in sideways. She rolled up the sleeves of her shirt and began to tear the bread: "Zhou and I have told you several times, you are a very good girl."
Xu Sui paused, bowed his head and stuffed a flower stick pill into his mouth, nodded and didn't speak.
"I've chased Zhou before, and he's the most difficult boy I've ever seen." Yesenin changed the subject, and the topic was frank and bold.
Xu Sui recalled his muddle-headed confession that time, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Then I'm pretty lucky."
Yesenin thought that Xu Sui would be unhappy or abnormal if she said such blunt and purposeful words, but she didn't, she still ate her food quietly.
It's hard to guess.
Yesenin dragged his cheeks and smiled, unconsciously stirring the yogurt in the box with the spoon in his hand: "Do you know why he rejected me? He said he didn't want to lose me."
Xu Sui picked up another Huazhi pill with her chopsticks. Hearing this, the ball fell to the ground along the table, and she didn't have the desire to eat it anymore.
A person like Zhou Jingze, who doesn't care about anything, can say such a thing, which proves that Yesenin is a very important person to him.
Xu Sui took out a tissue, knelt down, picked up the balls on the ground and threw them into the trash can, then said to Yesenin, "Thank you, Miss Ye."
Yesenin was taken aback, his amber eyes were full of doubts: "Thank me? Don't you hate me?"
Xu Sui packed his things, laughed when he heard this sentence, and said frankly: "A little bit, but I hate myself more."
He hates himself for being like a slut, he likes Zhou Jingze unconditionally like a moth to a flame, and in the end, he is fragmented, even forgetting his self-esteem.
She didn't want to walk towards him again.
After speaking, Xu Sui turned and left. Yesenin thought that he would be very happy if he won, but he was not. She was so obedient, quiet and not aggressive at all, which made Yesenin wonder if he played the wrong vicious woman.
"Of course, it's amazing that you can stay by his side for so long." Yesenin said looking at the slender figure in front of him.
Xu Sui paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.
Xu Sui didn't tell anyone about meeting Yesenin. She went to class for dinner as usual, and was occasionally dragged by her roommate to participate in club activities.
When she was free these two days, she also seriously thought a lot by herself.
On June 21, the summer solstice, the hottest time of the year, Zhou Jingze's birthday came as scheduled. Sheng Nanzhou booked a big box for Zhou Jingze in Shengshi.
But that night, the two protagonists arrived late. Zhou Jingze sent a message to Sheng Nanzhou saying that something happened on the road and let them play first.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhou Jingze was waiting for Xu Sui at the Vidli's next to the Medical University. He was tall and straight, leaning lazily on the edge of the green bus stop sign, with broad and stiff shoulders. He held a cigarette in one hand and held a cigarette in the other. Holding the phone in one hand, he typed on the screen with his thumb: [Sheng Nanzhou decides to book a box, shall we say hello before going to Grandpa's house, or just run away?]
After sending the message to Xu Sui, Zhou Jingze raised his eyes inadvertently, and when he saw the person coming, he twitched the corners of his lips, and unexpectedly saw the person he least wanted to see on his birthday.
Wearing a white shirt, Shi Yuejie walked up to Zhou Jingze with a bicycle, hesitated, and pushed his glasses: "Jingze, it's your birthday today, Dad asked you to go home for dinner."
Zhou Jingze sneered with the tip of his tongue against his chin, gave him a sideways glance, and said mockingly, "Then do you think I should go back? Brother, brother."
Shi Yuejie lowered his eyes and tried to keep himself calm: "Actually, we don't need to be like this. What happened last time was a misunderstanding. I really didn't know beforehand..."
As soon as he heard the word "misunderstanding", Zhou Jingze held back with a foolish smile on his face, looked at him, and spoke slowly: "Is it cool to get something that doesn't belong to you?"
With a "bang", Shi Yuejie let go, and the white bicycle landed on the ground. He grabbed Zhou Jingze's collar and his usual gentle look broke down: "What about you! What happened to the share transfer agreement that I transferred to Dad a while ago?" ?on purpose?"
Last month, Zhou Zhengyan's company received an express package. He opened the kraft paper bag and took a look. Inside was the share transfer agreement sent by Zhou Jingze, and the person who ordered the share transfer was Shi Yuejie.
Zhou Jingze still inherited this share from his mother. If he transfers the share to Shi Yuejie, it means that he has nothing to do with the Zhou family.
He is actively breaking up with this family.
Zhou Zhengyan immediately called Shi Yuejie to ask him what this meant. After Shi Yuejie took the document, his face changed, and his tone was a little flustered: "Dad, I didn't know that this happened, maybe Jingze made a mistake. Alright, I'll go to school and ask him... "
Zhou Zhengyan got up from the sofa and walked over, patted him on the shoulder, his tone seemed intimate but meaningful: "Dad still hopes to see that you two brothers are in harmony."
"A family should still value peace."
Afterwards, Zhou Zhengyan often quarreled with Zhu Ling at home, and there was often the sound of things being thrown in the room. Shi Yuejie often saw his mother running out with red eyes. He hated himself for being incompetent and for his passive position in this family. .
Shi Yuejie grabbed Zhou Jingze's collar and stared at him, but he held his chin up, chewing gum nonchalantly, his eyelids could not be lifted, and he looked down at Shi Yuejie, giving people a condescending feeling .
Shi Yuejie only felt that he was underestimated, and his heart was full of anger. He tugged at his collar and asked, "Where is Xu Sui? Did you intentionally take revenge on me for being with her because I like her?"
It is rare for Zhou Jingze to look him in the eye, Shi Yuejie always looks like a gentle, dignified and good-natured old man, but today it is quite strange to see him pissed off and jumping over the wall in a hurry.
He looked at Shi Yuejie and slowly remembered something. Since Zhu Ling led Shi Yuejie to marry in, everything in the family has changed.
Zhou Jingze has a surly temperament and doesn't care about everything. He can give Shi Yuejie half of what originally belonged to him.
Unexpectedly, they were not satisfied with this.
Every year on April 3rd, his mother's memorial day, Zhou Jingze prepared a lot, bought flowers and wrote her a letter in advance. But just when he was full of anticipation and ready to go with Zhou Zhengyan.
Shi Yuejie had a fever at this time.
Zhou Zhengyan took Shi Yuejie to see a doctor in a hurry, took care of him for a day, and was so busy that he ignored the memorial day for his wife. And Zhou Jingze sat in front of Yan Ning's tomb all day alone.
At first, Zhou Jingze really thought that Shi Yuejie was sick, but later he found that Zhou Zhengyan had been absent from some important occasions related to him.
Such as Zhou Jingze's birthday, parent meeting, graduation ceremony.
The reason was that Zhou Zhengyan wanted to take care of Zhu Ling because he wanted to deal with Shi Yuejie.
He seems to be the extra person in this family.
Only then did Zhou Jingze understand Shi Yuejie's ambition.
"Answer me!" Shi Yuejie roared.
Shi Yuejie's angry roar brought Zhou Jingze back to his thoughts. He raised his eyes, glanced at the stepbrother's face, squinted his eyes, and admitted quickly with a look of innocence:
"Yes, it's quite cool, she delivered it to the door."
When the words fell to the ground, Zhou Jingze received a swift and fierce punch on the face. He turned his face away, raised his hand to touch the corner of his mouth, and twisted his slender fingertips lightly, and bright red liquid leaked between his fingers.
He sneered, and then swung his fist. The two quickly scuffled together, and the passers-by who stopped saw that the two were fighting too fiercely, and did not dare to persuade them to fight.
A row of bicycles placed on the bus stop signs hit the ground one after another, making a thumping sound.
Xu Sui didn't know how long he stood there watching. Seeing that Zhou Jingze was punched to the ground, and he grabbed Shi Yuejie's collar with his backhand, she finally said, "Stop hitting me."
She stepped forward, and it took a lot of effort to forcefully separate the two. She swept her eyes and saw that both of them were in dire condition. Shi Yuejie looked embarrassed, wiped the blood on his forehead, and said: "Junior Sister, when did you come, listen to my advice—"
Xu Sui lowered his head and took out a pack of tissues from his bag and handed it to him, with a soft voice: "Thank you, brother, wipe your wounds first, I have something to ask him, can you avoid it?"
Shi Yuejie looked hesitant, and he took the tissue: "Okay, if you need anything, you can call me."
As people passed by, Xu Sui stepped forward, helped Zhou Jingze sit down in front of the bus stop, and said softly, "You wait for me first."
After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked into a pharmacy. Not long after, Xu Sui walked towards Zhou Jingze carrying a small bag of medicine, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Xu Sui sat next to Zhou Jingze. She unpacked a pack of cotton swabs, dipped them in iodophor, and looked at him: "Lower your head a little."
Zhou Jingze turned his head sideways, she was carefully cleaning his brow bone with her face up, and the wound at the corner of her mouth was blood red. The more he saw Xu Sui's calm and calm face, the more flustered he felt.
To be honest, he was not sure when Xu Sui came, how much he had heard, and whether he heard his angry words, and he didn't know for sure.
The cool summer wind blew on her face, hot and sticky, and messed up Xu Sui's hair. A strand of hair stuck to her cheek. Zhou Jingze raised his hand to touch her face, but Xu Sui turned sideways to hide.
After Xu Sui treated Zhou Jingze's wound, he twisted the cap of the bottle, knocked on the body of the bottle unconsciously, and looked at him with an extremely calm tone:
"Zhou Jingze, let's break up."
She said this sentence as if she had practiced it repeatedly for a long time.
The sound of the wind stopped at this moment, Zhou Jingze rolled his eyelids in disbelief, dark red blood gushed out of the freshly scabbed bloodstain on his brow bone, and his tone was somewhat hostile:
"What did you say?"
Xu Sui knew that Zhou Jingze had heard it, so she didn't repeat it, she stuffed the medicine into a plastic bag and left it to him, and got up to leave. Unexpectedly, she was grabbed by a strong force, pulling her backwards, and she couldn't move an inch.
Zhou Jingze spoke very slowly, one word at a time:
"say clearly."
Xu Sui lowered his eyes and let him hold her tightly, neither noisy nor fussy, a circle of red marks gradually appeared on his wrist, Zhou Jingze relaxed a little, and still held her tightly, his tone slowed down:
"If it's because of Shi Yuejie, it's my fault that I lied to you all the time, and decided to be with you at the beginning—"
"I saw her wearing your watch on Yesenin's social homepage." Xu Sui shook his head and said the name suddenly.
Zhou Jingze frowned, and recalled: "It was the last party. She saw that my watch looked good, and said she wanted to buy the same model... She is my friend, and she told you before."
It's rare for him to say such a long word.
Xu Sui looked at him, his eyes became more and more red: "What about the payment password, I don't seem to know the payment password of your mobile phone."
Zhou Jingze fell silent, and said slowly after a while: "That was before—"
"Let me ask you directly, did you have a crush on her before?" Xu Sui's voice trembled, and his nails dug into his palms.
Zhou Jingze was silent for a while, then admitted, "Part of it."
One sentence will suffice.
But Xu Sui still refused to let him go, looking at him like he was masochistic: "What about now?"
"Now—" Zhou Jingze was about to answer seriously.
"It's not important anymore." Xu Sui interrupted him, his voice was very soft, and a crystal clear tear dripped to the ground.
From the conversation with Yesenin and his answers, Xu Sui can probably piece together a story. A beautiful, cool girl with good taste like Yesening pursued him, but Zhou Jingze refused.
There is only one reason, he cherishes her and is willing to be friends with her.
No matter how high the other party's status is in his heart, Zhou Jingze, who is so unscrupulous, knows how to cherish others.
Yesenin was different from them.
She tried to break free from his shackles, but Zhou Jingze refused to let go with a sullen face, and pulled Xu Sui into his arms, forcing his shoulders against his chest, the familiar smell of mint mixed with tobacco entered the tip of his nose again, She couldn't break free no matter what, Zhou Jingze stuck to her body like a hot iron.
Xu Sui's emotions finally broke down. Every time she said a word, tears fell down, the tip of her nose, and her eyes were red: "You stayed with me because of Shi Yuejie's temper, I don't blame you, because I understand you, I understand you Knowing that you usually have a bad relationship with him, I guessed it. It’s just that I felt a little uncomfortable hearing what you said just now—”
Xu Sui seemed a bit speechless, a hot tear dripped down his neck, forcing himself to say that sentence: "Indeed... I took the initiative to deliver it to the door."
"I'm sorry." Zhou Jingze's voice was hoarse.
"Zhou Jingze, do you know why my nickname is Yiyi? Because my father used to be a firefighter, and when my mother was giving birth to me, he glanced at me temporarily and left in a hurry when my mother was giving birth to me. The matter can only be solved by grandma, who is not very literate. When she went to the office, she saw the red banner hanging on the wall, which was like drawing lots. She asked the staff what the third letter of the banner was called. Just call Xu Sui."
Dad came back from the mission and disagreed: "How can my baby girl choose a random name? Her birth is the happiest thing in my life. It is the most precious gift God gave me. She is unique and the only one. .”
"That's why my nickname is Yiyi." Xu Sui looked at him, sniffed, and every time he said a word, the tattoo wound on the ribs was aching, and the pain caused her to press there subconsciously, "I hope that the other party has only I, can love me wholeheartedly. Even when you went to pick Yesenin up that day, I firmly believe that I will wait for you next time. You always have a casual attitude, and you have reservations when you like someone. You are very good, just We are not suitable."
Xu Sui wiped away tears and left from his arms: "Let's stop here."
Zhou Jingze, the proud son of heaven, never lacks in admiration. Lover seven points, keep three points, maybe Xu Sui has never experienced seven points. When he likes you, he is vigorous, as if he only waves for you, but when you calm down, you will find that it is you who is flammable, so you feel enthusiastic.
He doesn't even care about loving you.
what can you do It seemed like that was all he could do.
There was a sound of brakes, and the school's last bus at night returned. People got off one after another, some got off with a big bag of things, some students wore T-shirts and shorts, got off and went straight to the school's watermelon stand.
Zhou Jingze's heart seemed to be bitten by an insect, dense pain arose around him, remorse and panic grew, and he wanted to reach out to grab Xu Sui who had left.
Unexpectedly, a group of people kept getting off the bus and flocking towards the green bus platform. During the period, someone bumped into him, and the crowd kept coming, and then lay between the two.
The two actually got separated in the crowd.
Xu Sui took the opportunity to leave, and Zhou Jingze stared at her back. She was slender and fragile, but her steps were firm, without pausing.
She didn't look back.
Not once.
