At six o'clock in the afternoon, Senbei threw the last book into the cardboard box.
A whole day of high-intensity and endless signing tasks caused her entire right arm to be sore and stiff as if it had been in a plaster cast.
Yuanyuan eagerly put away the backpack for her and carried it out.
Senbei rubbed her heavy arms and followed.
Chen Zhuo walked behind the two girls, looking at the taller one, and kept chattering at the shorter one.
Outside the office building, the rental that Chen Zhuo had reserved in advance had arrived.
He took the initiative to take Xianbei's small schoolbag and asked the little girl to get in the car first, and then follow him in.
Xianbei lowered the car window and waved her little hands twice to say goodbye to Yuanyuan.
Car on the road. In March, it was getting darker than before.
The setting sun on the horizon, splashed the paint, smudged a gradient of orange color.
Xianbei leaned back in the chair and looked out the window.
The man was sitting beside him, so close that she didn't dare to look at it.
But he spent a day with her, he must have wasted a lot of time and effort...
Don't worry about the store...
The more Xianbei thought about it, the more embarrassed it became, but he was too embarrassed to turn his head back, so he said two words in a low voice:
"… thanks… "
Chen Zhuo heard it clearly and replied, "It's nothing."
Senbei pulled her ring finger and said nothing.
Chen Zhuo glanced at his watch and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Xianbei shook her head. She ate a lot at noon and felt that she had not digested it yet.
Chen Zhuo made a sound, and crossed his hands to his legs.
In the car, it was quiet for a long time.
When Chen Zhuo looked in the direction of Xianbei again, he saw that the little girl's head was shaking with the bumps.
asleep
Chen Zhuo quietly raised his upper body and observed it carefully.
I got up early, and after a busy day, I should be sleepy.
The eyelashes were quietly covered there, and the white skin could be faintly heard breathing evenly.
Chen Zhuo curled his lips and leaned back. From the perspective at the moment, he could only see the back of Xianbei's head and the hair sticking out from his ears, which were painted by the sunset into the same bright orange red.
The arc between the lips drew back, and then pursed again.
Chen Zhuo remembered what Yuanyuan had said to himself in the library.
In fact, later, she also told him a lot of old things about Senbei.
It was about ten years ago, when Xianbei had just entered junior high school, the focus of the application was, and his grades were excellent.
Senbei's parents divorced when she was three years old because her husband cheated.
After the divorce, Xian's mother was full of complaints about life, and exerted this emotion on her daughter, almost paranoid longing for her to stand out and fight for herself.
And she is a physics teacher at the same school, and she is very strict.
As long as Xianbei's fun and hobbies are not related to study, my mother does not allow it and keeps denying it.
Once, Senbei brought his classmates home to play. After my mother came back, she was furious and yelled at several children in front of Senbei:
You are only eligible to play with my daughter when you are in the top 50 of your grade! Otherwise, don't affect her study!
The aggrieved classmates went back to school and spread the news everywhere, saying that Teacher X's daughter was untouchable.
Senbei has since been isolated, even though she has said sorry countless times.
Sometimes I have to have the courage to open my lips to my classmates. They pretend to be frightened and reply, "Let's not talk, for fear of being scolded by your mother. After all, I haven't reached the top 50 in my grade."
Later, Senbei became less and less afraid to speak.
Walking on campus, they bow their heads and dare not make eye contact with anyone.
No matter what you do, be careful, for fear of being disgusting.
In the student days, everyone was still young, and rarely had the ability to think independently, and the stem did not have enough rational concepts to control and restrain their own behavior.
Therefore, they often like to form gangs to ridicule and attack an alien.
In the sixth year of middle school, the treatment that Senbei received is unknown. She became increasingly withdrawn, seeing social as her enemy.
During the college entrance examination, Xianbei chose a major and a university that she did not like, carrying her mother behind her back.
The mother was furious and bluntly said that she did not have this unfilial daughter.
This was the first time in Senbei's life that he resisted.
She fled her hometown and came to Ning City. Since then, in the four years of college, Senbei has never returned home.
Hearing the end, Chen Zhuoyi was extremely silent.
In the end, Yuanyuan sighed and said, "The classmate I consulted was also one of them at the time. He said that he regrets it now that he thinks about it. It was Xianbei's mother who made the mistake, not Xianbei herself, but she made her bear everything. He asked me how Senbei is now. I said, she's fine."
"It's just that I can only tell my heart to a piece of paper."
—
The taxi slowly stopped at the door of "Zhongyi".
Twilight is approaching, and there is sweetness in the air.
A touch of warm light trickles out from the window, like the gentle honey that humans give to nature.
Seeing that there was no movement in the back seat, the driver glanced in the interior rearview mirror, then turned around and was about to speak.
The man in the back row had already "shush" to stop his thoughts of waking up the girl.
The driver stopped talking, let the man pay the money on the mobile phone, and then got out of the car lightly and went to open the other door.
Senbei slept soundly and didn't disturb her several times.
After looking at it for a moment, the little girl was sleeping peacefully and young. And in the darkness, like a layer of moonlight, bright skin.
Chen Zhuo leaned in and picked her up directly.
It wasn't a hug from the princess, it was just a way of coaxing a child. It crossed the armpit and lifted it up. The chin, which had lost strength due to sleepiness, naturally rested on his shoulder.
Senbei fell asleep, and subconsciously circled the closest thing to him—
man's neck.
The rounded little nose, with a slight heat breath, sprayed on his collarbone.
The legs that were originally hanging, rubbed against his waist unconsciously.
Chen Zhuo stiffened and closed the door with one hand.
The long legs opened and walked towards the direction of the store.
The intuitive bump shook off a lot of the sleepy bug in Xianbei's head.
The eyelashes moved, Xianbei snorted slightly, frowned, and opened her eyes.
As if looking for some presence and awareness, Senbei couldn't help but press the toe of his shoe.
… Eh…
foot…
Xianbei was shocked and completely awake.
her feet! Why, why is it floating again? !
where?
Xianbei leaned back in fright, trying to see where she was.
Is it the shoulders now
This discovery made Xianbei's heart jump out of her throat. She raised her face in surprise, but there was something piercing on her forehead.
The little heart jumped again, and out of the corner of the eye glanced at it.
Hu, stubble
Is she on Chen Zhuo? ? ?
being held? ? ? ? ? ?
After realizing everything, Xianbei's whole body froze for a second, and then the blood surged and the heat rolled.
Ahhh!
He even wrapped his arms around his neck! !
Xianbei's whole body was flushed red, like tomato essence possessed, just as he was about to withdraw his arms, a man's question came from his ear:
"woke up?"
Xianbei was stunned and did not dare to move.
But he didn't dare to... just relying on sleep like just now, dazed, hanging on him recklessly.
Behind, there seems to be a brighter light approaching.
Will it be seen by others
Senbei's heartbeat increased, so nervous, so shy.
She kicked her calf slightly, gestured, begged weakly, woke up, wanted to go down, beg down...
