The island is cool and cool, and everything is quiet. Chi Nuan wakes up every minute of the night.
She was lying on the railing worriedly, and the ribbons on her head were blown up by the wind. Xue Min remembered how they were wrapped around Gu Ningzi's fingertips, so she reached out to touch them.
Chi Nuan looked at her wrongly, and Xue Min withdrew her hand: "... I know you may not like me that much now.... It doesn't matter, I am tonight, I know that my confession tonight is a bit sudden. I... don't be in a hurry to reject me. , We can still get along like friends, and you will reply to me later, I mean you will make judgments after more contact, instead of directly rejecting me tonight without leaving any room, do you think this will work?"
Chi Nuan: "Xue Wen..."
Xue Min lowered his head halfway and raised his eyes: "If you try to understand me and feel me, but you still feel that I am not suitable, then I will definitely not pester you."
Xue Min kept his posture to a minimum and asked sincerely, making people unable to bear to refuse.
Chi Nuan looked at her, without hesitation, slowly shook her head.
Xue Min's heart sank, and Chi Nuan's unique soft whisper sounded in her ear, she said, "Xue Min, don't do this."
…
"Hoo! I was stupid at the time!" Xu Dan said, his heart was still pounding, "That's my Shenbao! Take the initiative to hug me! I'm going to die happily!"
Du Min rolled his eyes sourly: "No one wants to hear your feelings."
Xu Dan spread his hands, complacent: "It's useless for you to be jealous, after all, Shen Bao's embrace only belongs to me tonight."
Du Min and Zhao Jingjing both vomited.
When Chi Nuan went to the restaurant, she happened to hear them chatting.
Xu Dan's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to notice Chi Nuan and waved his hand at her: "Hey, Nuan Nuan, here! Where is Awen? Why didn't she come?"
Chi Nuan walked and said, "Well, she's not coming down."
Gu Ningzi gently stirred the mung bean soup, picked up a raisin from it, and put it into his mouth.
Sweet and sour.
…
After the mung bean soup was over, Xu Dan was still clamoring for a poker game. When they went upstairs, Xue Min had already fallen asleep, and Gu Ningzi was temporarily caught by them to gather people's heads, and they played until the sky was getting brighter, and the game was over.
Chi Nuan sat in a dark room and used her mobile phone to search for web pages about sexual orientation. She was stunned by all kinds of information, and she kept falling into doubt and self-doubt.
She has no way to compare, no matter male or female, except Gu Ningzi, she has never had this kind of affection for anyone so far.
So do you like girls? Or are you just fascinated by Gu Ningzi? ... But what about being fascinated? It's not that Xu Dan likes his younger brother, who can pass on love letters openly, and it's not that Xue Min has the courage to confess and be rejected in the face of the same sex.
After closing the webpage, I couldn't sleep well, and was woken up by Zhao Jingjing returning to the room to take a shower. Chi Nuan's mouth was dry, and after tossing and turning, he finally went down to find water to drink.
A tiny overhead light was lit in the kitchenette. Chi Nuan wanted to retreat, but was a step too late.
Gu Ningzi supported the flow table and was drinking water. Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned his head and saw Chi Nuan.
Chi Nuan's hair was a little messy, and she was wearing a pink nightdress with fat lambs printed on it. Her expression was inexplicable... Scared
Gu Ningzi said unexpectedly, "Why did you wake up?"
Her voice was slightly hoarse, probably due to staying up late. With his hair tied behind his head, he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he spoke in a gentle and patient manner.
Chi Nuan felt the uncontrollable frequency in her chest, she struggled to walk over: "I want to drink water..."
Gu Ningzi turned around and took half a glass of water and handed it to her.
Chi Nuan held the cup to drink, Gu Ningzi stared at her mischievous strands of hair, her heart moved at will, her fingers crossed Chi Nuan's forehead, and her hair was tucked behind her ears.
Chi Nuan: "…"
His heartbeat couldn't deceive himself, and the light warm water in his mouth seemed to taste a strong sweetness.
... I really like Gu Ningzi.
Gu Ningzi turned her head to the side, her eyelashes drooping, making people unable to see her expression: "I didn't have a chance to ask before, I called you last night... The night before."
Gu Ningzi pulled Chi Nuan back to that dazzling state of mind with a single word, like a feather scratching her heart.
Gu Ningzi: "I'm a little drunk. I saw a record on my phone, but I can't remember what I said."
Chi Nuan was stunned: "Have you forgotten?"
Gu Ningzi: "Just remember a little bit."
Chi Nuan said disappointedly: "Oh..."
"Remember that you asked me to leave the kitchen, and remember that you asked me who I was drinking with," Gu Ningzi continued with a slight smile, "Remember that you asked me if Secretary Su took the photo of me."
Chi Nuan: "..." Then you might as well forget all about it!
His face was burning like crazy, Chi Nuan said, "Others, I didn't talk about anything, and then your phone ran out of power..."
…
The sun has risen above the horizon, and a new day has arrived.
Zhao Jingjing fell asleep. Chi Nuan woke up, afraid of disturbing her, so after washing her hands gently, she opened the door and went out.
All the other rooms have the door closed, and everyone is still sleeping. Chi Nuan was walking on the stairs and heard Secretary Su's voice.
"Yes, on the Isle of Sitine. She is still asleep. She watched a movie with her classmates last night."
Chi Nuan turned the corner of the stairs and saw Secretary Su in a sporty dress.
"... the classmates at school."
"...Okay. Okay. Don't worry, I know." Secretary Su hung up the phone and saw Chi Nuan coming downstairs.
"Did you go for a morning run?" Chi Nuan greeted her with a smile.
Secretary Su: "Yeah. - It's a rare holiday, why do you get up so early? Is it because you can't get used to the bed?"
Chi Nuan walked down the last flight of stairs: "The bed is very comfortable, it's my own problem, I always wake up at midnight."
Secretary Su nodded understandingly: "... ah yes, I'll take a shower first, they probably won't wake up for a while, let's have breakfast together later."
Chi Nuan replied, and Secretary Su went to take a shower. She walked out of the house with nothing to do, and walked slowly around the island.
The sun is not poisonous, and the breeze is gentle under the shade of the trees. There are birds playing and circling on the water, the golden water waves keep rolling under the sun, and the air is fresh and comfortable.
Chi Nuan sat down on the wooden chair by the road.
She quietly listened to the sound of the water waves, but after a few minutes, someone stopped beside her.
Chi Nuan raised her head, it was Xue Wen.
After what happened last night, it was somewhat embarrassing to meet Chi Nuan again. Xue Min was okay, she sat down generously and said, "Morning, Chi Nuan."
"morning."
The two sat side by side watching the scenery.
Xue Min tapped briskly with her fingers on her knees, and her voice was as bright as the sun: "It's beautiful here."
Chi Nuan: "Yeah."
Xue Min: "You are beautiful too."
"..." Chi Nuan was speechless.
Xue Min laughed out loud, it was a kind of mischievous laugh, Chi Nuan realized that she was deliberately teasing herself: "You..."
Xue Min: "You rejected me so categorically and didn't give me the slightest chance. I have a stomach for sweet talk, so I have to digest it slowly, right? Giving up also has a process."
She pretended to be helpless, but her tone and expression were all free and easy. The embarrassment was diluted a lot, and Chi Nuan also relaxed: "...By the way, Xue Min, I have wanted to ask you something for a long time, and I have never had a chance."
Xue Min: "You said."
Chi Nuan: "About Chen Wan... Did she offend you?"
Xue Min turned her head sideways, her delicate brows were slightly frowned, and she thought for a moment: "She has a dirty mouth, and she even used Ah Hui to press me, I'm already very polite."
Before yesterday, Chi Nuan had always thought that the matter of Chen Wan being repaired by Cai Miao had little to do with her; after Xue Min confessed, she was not so sure.
In her opinion, the matter between herself and Chen Wan was over long ago, and she didn't want or want Chen Wan to be bullied because of herself.
Fortunately, Xue Wen personally denied it.
It's just that when Xue Min mentioned Cao Pinhui, Chi Nuan was inevitably stuck in his throat. Seeing that it was almost time to go back to the house for breakfast, he suggested to go back.
Before the two of them entered the restaurant, Gu Ningzi, who was wearing dark home clothes, walked out of the restaurant with a coffee cup in one hand and a pocket in the other.
"You played with them all night?" Secretary Su was behind Gu Ningzi and turned around her: "... No, I said you shouldn't drink coffee on an empty stomach! Breakfast is ready, if you're sleepy, you can go to make up after eating. Take a nap. And your sister called me this morning to say summer vacation—"
Gu Ningzi stopped, and Secretary Su followed her for unknown reasons. She wanted to say something. When she realized that Chi Nuan and the others were coming, she turned around and said, "...You guys came back from your walk?"
Xue Min smiled and said, "I'm back."
Chi Nuan saw Gu Ningzi's tired face, and couldn't help but ask her, "Why did you get up so early? It didn't take long for you to fall asleep?"
Gu Ningzi didn't answer the question, and said in a strange tone: "...you two have breakfast together?"
Chi Nuan: "Yeah."
Gu Ningzi gave the coffee cup to Secretary Su.
"..." Secretary Su was flattered and never thought that Gu Ningzi would be willing to cooperate. The coffee brewed in a hurry, if she doesn't drink it, she really doesn't drink it.
Chi Nuan: "Are you eating with us?"
Gu Ningzi: "No, you are free."
Chi Nuan was stunned. In her memory, Gu Ningzi hardly ever said "no" to her.
…
Chi Nuan's breakfast was a bit unpalatable, and then Secretary Su offered to take them around the island: "There are several places here, which were very meaningful when they were designed back then. If no one explains it, the viewing effect will be great. A discount."
How could Chi Nuan be embarrassed to trouble Secretary Su, and hurriedly declined.
Xue Min was also lacking in interest, so this proposal was left unfinished.
The chef had already prepared the ingredients for lunch in the back kitchen, and Chi Nuan had nowhere to go, so he simply soaked in the back kitchen to observe and learn.
Xue Min has no talent for cooking, but he is also very interested.
Soon after noon, there was movement upstairs, Xu Dan and the others went downstairs yawning.
Secretary Su greeted everyone to the table, but Gu Ningzi didn't come, and it was not easy for everyone to start first. Xu Dan was overjoyed when he talked about the various poker games: "Gu Ningzi is so interesting, the three of us win by turns, and she is the only one who keeps losing hahaha..."
Du Min and Zhao Jingjing laughed, Chi Nuan couldn't help laughing, and when Gu Ningzi arrived, Xu Dan said, "I'm talking about you, you're so bad at playing cards, hahaha."
Gu Ningzi pulled away the chair, her long eyes raised slightly, and she showed a small smile in coordination.
Xu Dan asked Chi Nuan curiously again: "Why did you and Awen go all morning? Have you been around the island? Hey, it's a pity that we will be returning to Yuncheng in the afternoon, otherwise I really want to stay here a little longer. God, what a wonderful environment!"
"...No more, let's see how to prepare the ingredients in the back kitchen."
Xu Dan's eyes widened: "You guys are so boring."
Chi Nuan: "…"
Xue Min smiled and said, "It's very interesting, Chi Nuan has also learned a lot of hands."
Gu Ningzi glanced at Chi Nuan slowly.
Chi Nuan saw that look full of indifference that had nothing to do with him, and the eagerness in his heart could not help but drop a little.
... What happened to Gu Ningzi
…
After lunch, everyone left Xiting Island as planned and returned to Cloud City.
High school summer make-up classes will start tomorrow.
Chi Nuan got into Gu Ningzi's car in a complicated mood. She likes to be with Gu Ningzi, but today's Gu Ningzi doesn't know why she feels a little weird...
As soon as Gu Ningzi got in the car, she put on her blindfold to make up for her sleep. Secretary Su said curiously, "You didn't sleep afterward, did you?"
The black blindfold covered her eyes, and Gu Ningzi's beauty became more and more prominent, her cherry red lips were slightly pursed, and she made a vague "um" sound from her nose.
Gu Ningzi wanted to rest, Chi Nuan sat on the other side obediently, and consciously slowed down her breathing.
The car started and set off for Yuncheng.
…
Gu Ningzi fell asleep, and Chi Nuan's eyes were also empty. The quietness in the car grew sleepy, and gradually, Chi Nuan's eyelids began to fight.
The seat swayed slightly, and Gu Ningzi's upper body gradually tilted to the side, and finally, her head rested lightly on Chi Nuan's left shoulder.
Chi Nuan was drowsy and in a trance, and it took a long while to realize what happened.
Immediately woke up.
She didn't dare to move at all, for fear of disturbing the sleeping person.
Secretary Su noticed them in the rearview mirror and found it very interesting.
Aning's little classmate sat stiffly in fear, not knowing where to put his hands and feet. When she slept with Aning on her head on the way to L City, it was very natural.
…
Gu Ningzi woke up when she got off the high speed. She took off her blindfold and stroked her hair for a while. Later, he turned his head and looked out the window, not knowing what he was thinking, but never said a word.
The burning clouds dyed half of the sky red, and in the evening, the car drove into the main urban area of Yuncheng. Gu Ningzi patted Secretary Su's seat, and after being silent all the way, she said, "Send Chi Nuan back to school first."
Secretary Su made an "OK" gesture.
Arriving at the entrance of No. 1 Middle School, Chi Nuan got off the bus with her luggage, and a classmate who happened to have a room in the same class also returned to the school. Seeing Chi Nuan, he ran over to say hello to her.
Chi Nuan hurriedly greeted each other.
Gu Ningzi closed the door and said to Secretary Su, "Let's go."
The wheels continued to roll forward, Chi Nuan heard the movement and turned around. In a few seconds, the car had taken Gu Ningzi away.
She was stunned, she and Gu Ningzi didn't even say "goodbye".
It seemed that Gu Ningzi didn't want to wait any longer for the moment of saying goodbye.
... Again and again, Gu Ningzi's sudden change caught Chi Nuan by surprise.
She flipped out her phone in a panic and sent a message to Gu Ningzi: "Gu Ningzi... What's the matter with you today?"
After that, Chi Nuan has been anxiously waiting for Gu Ningzi's reply, but when she was about to fall asleep at night, she received three simple and perfunctory words from the other party:
"nothing."
