After eating the hot pot, Xu Dan was probably drunk by the cans of beer. He pulled the street lights outside the hot pot restaurant and kept saying, "Squad leader! Come, let's go out to play with us! Today is my birthday, happy, walk around, Let's go play!"
Chi Nuan: "…"
Du Min laughed loudly: "Xu... Dan, you're stupid, that's obviously Zhao Jingjing hahahaha! The monitor she...she's here!"
Du Min turned around in a circle with blinded eyes, and threw herself on Xue Min.
Xue Min: "..."
Zhao Jingjing rolled her eyes to the sky: "Two drunks."
Xue Min really planned to take them out to play, but seeing Xu Dan and Du Min getting so drunk, she could only give up: "I'll take you back to school."
Her car was parked nearby, and within minutes of the call, the driver pulled over. The road conditions were very good, and within 20 minutes of driving, a few people arrived at the gate of the First Middle School.
Xu Dan pulled the car window and chatted to Xue Min in the car, "Xue... Xue Min, we'll play together next time... ah... ugh..."
Zhao Jingjing immediately frightened Xu Dan away.
Chi Nuan supported Du Min, the two of them stood staggeringly, she waved her hand to Xue Min with difficulty: "Thank you."
Xue Min took care of them: "Everyone should rest early."
…
Anyway, put Xu Dan and Du Min back in the bedroom, Du Min slept on the bed, Xu Dan couldn't climb on the top bunk, Chi Nuan let her sleep on his own bed.
Zhao Jingjing sat and gasped for breath. Chi Nuan was still a little drowsy, but now she was tossed and sobered up.
Called warm water and wiped Xu Dan and Du Min's hands and face, Chi Nuan's cell phone rang in the bag.
Chi Nuan answered the call from an unfamiliar number, and Xue Wen's voice came from the other end: "Chi Nuan, whose wallet has been dropped off in the car? There's a small ball on it."
Chi Nuan said "Yeah", "That's Xu Dan's, I'm sorry, Xue Min."
Xue Min: "Is it convenient for you to come down and get it now? The car drove back to the school gate."
Chi Nuan hung up the phone and ran down to get Xu Dan's wallet.
The lights are on in the car. Xue Min lowered the car window, handed out his wallet, and asked Chi Nuan casually, "What are your plans for tomorrow's holiday?"
Chi Nuan: "I usually have to go home."
Xue Min: "Okay, then we'll see you next week."
Chi Nuan waved goodbye to her.
…
There is only one street lamp in No. 1 Middle School, hidden in the lush tree canopy. Chi Nuan walked into the school gate and saw a figure passing by the street lamp closest to her.
The lights are like pattering spring rain, illuminating a small world.
Gu Ningzi was tall and straight, with a white tie between her sweat-soaked black hair. Carrying a sports bag cross-body, when walking, my left foot was slightly limping.
... lame
In a daze, Gu Ningzi had walked out of the area shrouded in lights.
"Gu Ningzi!" Chi Nuan immediately changed the direction of walking: "What's wrong with your feet?"
Gu Ningzi stopped, and in the dim sky, she took two seconds to say, "It's nothing."
It was obvious that she had just finished exercising. Chi Nuan thought that she had signed up for the track and field competition. Could it be that she was injured during practice
Chi Nuan asked her, "Is it serious?"
Gu Ningzi: "It's not serious."
Chi Nuan: "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Gu Ningzi: "No need."
It was dark around, and Gu Ningzi's appearance was vague and indistinct. Chi Nuan was silent for a while, then suggested: "Then wait for me, I'll take Xu Dan's wallet back to the bedroom and come down and take you home, okay?"
Gu Ningzi thought for a while, but did not refuse.
Chi Nuan ran back to the bedroom, put down her wallet, and briefly explained the matter to Zhao Jingjing.
Zhao Jingjing said in surprise: "Gu Ningzi looks at strangers not to enter, but this collective sense of honor is incredible! Look at what time is it now? It's just a sports meeting, it's interesting, you tell her not to It's too hard."
Chi Nuan said, "Her home is near the school. I'll take her back first."
"It's okay, you can go." Zhao Jingjing said, sighing: "It's really hard to be a squad leader..."
Chi Nuan: "…"
It was windy outside, and Gu Ningzi stood on the open space outside the door of the dormitory building, looking up slightly. When Chi Nuan came out of the doorway, she asked her, "What floor do you live on?"
Chi Nuan pointed to a lit window on the fourth floor: "That room."
Gu Ningzi said "Oh".
Chi Nuan asked, "Do your feet still hurt?"
Gu Ningzi said, "It doesn't hurt."
Even walking with a limp and saying it doesn't hurt, my mouth is really stubborn.
Chi Nuan wanted to carry the bag for her, but Gu Ningzi refused to say, "Just nail shoes, not heavy."
Chi Nuan insisted: "Just give it to me."
Gu Ningzi frowned awkwardly, but she still unpacked it for Chi Nuan.
…
Gu Ningzi couldn't walk fast, and Chi Nuan helped her from time to time, and the two walked slowly southward along the sidewalk of a Chinese and foreign country.
"How did you get hurt?"
"I bumped into someone when I started to practice and was trampled."
"… "
Arriving at Gu Ningzi's house, Gu Ningzi tore off the headband. She ruffled her hair and walked to the refrigerator, took out two bottles of water, and handed one to Chi Nuan.
It was not the first time for Chi Nuan to come here, so she put down her bag naturally and played with the blue cat while drinking water.
Gu Ningzi took a few sips of water, took home clothes to take a shower, and turned on the TV in the living room for Chi Nuan before leaving.
Chi Nuan glanced at the time, it was still too late after 8:30. She squatted under the floor-to-ceiling windows, listening to the sound of the TV, and scratching the blue cat with a cat wand.
I don't know when it started, the wind outside suddenly became stronger. Looking through the window, the fallen leaves in the courtyard were blown by the wind.
Gu Ningzi came out after washing, walked to Chi Nuan's side, stretched out her hand, and gently touched the cat's ear. Her hands were beautiful, with fair and slender fingers, and the little blue cat meowing against the back of her hand.
Later, Gu Ningzi sat on the sofa and applied the plaster, and Chi Nuan followed her.
A long piece of plaster was attached to the entire instep of the left foot.
At first sight, Chi Nuan "hiss" as if afraid of pain.
Gu Ningzi hooked her lips and said in a positive tone, "You have been drinking."
Chi Nuan covered her mouth and her eyes widened: "...You smell it? I just drank a little beer on Xu Dan's birthday."
Gu Ningzi shook her head: "You're a little cheeky."
Hey, are you blushing? Chi Nuan held her face and rubbed lightly.
Gu Ningzi looked away from her face and swept across the clock face: "... Lock the door in the dormitory at 9:30?"
It's already 9:10.
"Ah, I'm leaving!" Chi Nuan said and went to the gate, took a few steps, and told Gu Ningzi worriedly, "You should rest well these days."
Gu Ningzi stood up with the armrest of the sofa.
Chi Nuan opened the door, and the outside wind rushed into the house. She smelled a smell of earth. … It's raining
Gu Ningzi looked at the window. At first, the raindrops slid across the window glass like beads, and then at a certain moment, the pea-sized raindrops crashed down.
Chi Nuan: "…"
Gu Ningzi: "..."
The phone rang cheerfully, Chi Nuan pressed the answer, and Zhao Jingjing asked her, "It's raining! Where is yours?"
Chi Nuan backed into the door and listened to the phone: "I'm still at Gu Ningzi's house."
Zhao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm still worried that you will be rained on the road."
Chi Nuan: "No, I just wanted to go back."
Zhao Jingjing: "It's raining too much, borrow an umbrella from Gu Ningzi."
A scarlet lightning flashed across the sky, followed by thunder, which rumbled in my ears.
"Ah!" Chi Nuan was caught off guard, and all the hair on his body stood up.
Zhao Jingjing paused for a few seconds: "...Can Gu Ningzi agree to your stay?"
Chi Nuan: "…"
On the other end of the phone, Xu Dan seemed to be awake. Maybe he heard Zhao Jingjing mention the word "Gu Ningzi" and shouted to the phone loudly: "Gu Ningzi! You are too mean and mean! Please eat. You won't come to the hot pot, ah, say ah, why don't you come? How high and happy everyone is today!?"
Chi Nuan quickly hung up the phone.
The door was still open, moisture was creeping in through the cracks, and the harsh weather outside was unsettling.
Gu Ningzi stood on tiptoe, with wet bangs hanging over her eyes, and slowly walked towards Chi Nuan.
"It's raining heavily... Do you have an umbrella?" she asked Gu Ningzi who approached.
Gu Ningzi reached out and pushed the door open.
The thunderstorm stopped abruptly.
"You stay." Gu Ningzi said.
…
Chi Nuan wiped the water vapor on the mirror.
She just took a shower and changed into Gu Ningzi's clothes, which were too big, so she rolled up her sleeves.
The hair was 70% to 80% dry, the person in the mirror had long hair hanging down, the skin was flushed red by the hot water, and the color of the corners of the eyes was extremely dark, probably because the alcohol hadn't faded away.
Chi Nuan went out. The headlights in the living room were turned off, leaving a faint yellow floor lamp. Gu Ningzi was sitting on the sofa watching the nightly news, the blue cat rolled up in a ball and snored beside her legs.
The sound of the TV was very soft, the room was very quiet, and the strong wind and rain outside seemed to be far away.
Chi Nuan sat down beside Gu Ningzi.
Gu Ningzi asked her, "Are you sleepy?"
Chi Nuan said, "It's okay."
Gu Ningzi gave Chi Nuan the remote control and motioned for her to change the channel by herself. Chi Nuan said, "This is fine."
The two silently watched the nightly news on the local station, which was broadcasting a clip of the newly appointed minister of a certain department holding a news conference. Chi Nuan thought to herself that this minister was not only young and handsome. She yawned and heard her cell phone alert that a message had come in. Pick it up and see, it's an unfamiliar number.
"Did you sleep?"
Chi Nuan remembered that this was Xue Wen's number, so she clicked save and replied, "Not yet."
Just as Chi Nuan put down her phone, the message alert sounded twice in a row.
"Then what are you doing? [cute]"
"Are Xu Dan and Du Min okay?"
Gu Ningzi supported her head, slowly stroked the blue cat's back, and glanced at Chi Nuan indifferently.
Chi Nuan turned the phone to silent, thought about it, typed on the screen, and replied, "They fell asleep as soon as they got back to the dormitory, and I'm going to sleep too."
Xue Min: "Good night, good dream."
Chi Nuan put down her phone, and the nightly news was over.
There was an advertisement on TV, Chi Nuan pulled a big pillow by his hand, hugged it in his arms, and placed it on his chin.
She leaned against the back of the sofa, watching the constantly changing frame of the TV screen, her eyelids gradually darkened, and she fell asleep unconsciously.
…
Half asleep, someone called her name softly. Chi Nuan struggled to narrow her eyes, and Gu Ningzi stood in front of her.
"Huh?" she asked dazedly.
"Go back to the room to sleep." Gu Ningzi said.
The TV was off, and the floor lamp was still on. Chi Nuan heard it, but didn't move immediately, wanting to stay on the sofa for a while longer.
Gu Ningzi smiled. She bent down, facing Chi Nuan's face, and said "hello" softly.
A very light breath, like a naughty wind, sprinkled on Chi Nuan's face, itching.
Chi Nuan reopened his eyes.
Without the slightest deviation, the two looked at each other.
"… "
Gu Ningzi turned around and walked into the room.
Eh? Is that a little bit of alcohol surging again? Chi Nuan took a few deep breaths in confusion, why did her heartbeat suddenly become faster...
