Peng Zige looked at the mobile phone screen suspiciously, and said to himself, "You didn't make the wrong call..."
He put the phone to his ear again and asked, "Is this Rong Si's phone?"
Although the voice over the phone was polite, it didn't have much emotion: "A Si is busy and can't answer your call."
"Then can I trouble you to tell him that Peng Zige called him?"
He didn't say whether he agreed or not, the other end said "goodbye" and hung up.
Peng Zige was inexplicable and called Li Erqin. After a few simple chats, they each went about their own business.
Peng Zige plays basketball alone in the yard at home.
Although the sun is strong in winter, there is not much temperature. Peng Zige dribbled and shot for more than an hour without breaking a sweat. I can only go back to the house angrily to choose a movie to watch.
After watching three zombie movies in a row, Rong Si still didn't get a call.
He poked the screen with dissatisfaction, selected Rong Si's name, and dialed it.
stunned.
Downtime again
He hung up the phone and called Li Erqin immediately.
Li Erqin's voice on the phone was confused, as if he had just woken up.
Peng Zige doesn't understand, it's already 4:30 in the afternoon, what are you sleeping for
"Er Qin, let me ask you."
"Um?"
"How much did you charge Ah Si for the call?"
"one hundred."
Peng Zige: "..."
"What's wrong?"
"It's down again."
Li Erqin sat up from the bed: "Has it stopped again?"
"Um… "
Li Erqin pouted, crawled over to the computer, and continued to recharge Rong Si's phone bill.
Peng Zige listened to the movement for a while, and asked, "Are you charging Ah Si again?"
"Um."
The sound is far away, it should be the public release.
"it is good… "
After a while, Li Erqin's voice returned to clear: "I'll give him a call."
"Okay!" Peng Zige agreed: "After the call, remember to tell me what happened to Ah Si!"
"it is good."
Li Erqin put down the phone and felt that his throat was dry enough to breathe fire after sleeping in the heater for an afternoon. I went downstairs to pour some water first, and when I came back with hot water, I saw that there were several missed calls on my phone. The remarks displayed uniformly were: Rong Si.
She immediately picked up the phone and dialed back.
After only one ring, the phone was picked up, and Rong Si's nice and clean voice came: "Hello?"
I haven't heard Rong Si's voice for a week. For a long time, Li Erqin thought that he was used to Rong Si's voice and was immune. But when I heard it again, I suddenly felt that this voice moved my heart even more than the first time I heard it.
I felt my heart skip a beat.
"I'm Li Erqin."
There was a short laugh from the other end: "I know."
One day, Li Erqin would forget everything he wanted to say just by hearing someone's voice.
Rong Si waited for a while and asked, "You charged me the phone bill?"
"Yeah." Li Erqin took a sip of hot water and moistened his throat: "Peng Zige is also contacting you, but you are down. He called you at noon."
Rong Si: "I know."
"Oh."
"My sister was using my cell phone when Peng Zige called." Rong Si explained.
"Do you have a sister?"
"My uncle's daughter."
"Oh."
Li Erqin suddenly felt relaxed: "Your words cost so quickly."
Rong Si was helpless: "My sister's cell phone was stolen. During the day when we were outside, she used my cell phone to watch movies..."
Li Erqin looked confused and didn't know where to ask.
But when Rong Si was talking to Li Erqin, he was patient enough: "My father and several brothers and sisters' family went on a trip together, and they will go back after a while. I only charged my phone in the morning, but I didn't expect it to arrive at noon. No downtime. I was planning to recharge the phone bill, and found that someone recharged for me."
Li Erqin understood: "Is that so..."
"My sister said that Zige called me at noon."
"Um."
"I thought he was looking for me, so I didn't rush to reply to him."
Li Erqin didn't care about this, but it was a little strange: "How do you know that I recharged your phone bill for you?"
Rong Si smiled: "Zi Ge can't think of this."
Li Erqin acquiesced.
Rong Si added, "I was just about to call Zige when I found out that the phone was off again."
Li Erqin smiled: "When you want to recharge the phone bill, you find that I am ahead again?"
Rong Si chuckled, his voice pleasant: "Yes."
Li Erqin laughed along, feeling inexplicably proud.
Rong Si was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of a certain coastal villa at this moment. His silhouette was lightly reflected on the glass, and a faintly visible smile hung on his face.
He sat down against the floor-to-ceiling window: "Is there anything you want to do with me?"
"No." Li Erqin's voice was very relaxed: "I just want to ask what you are doing."
Rong Si replied, "Sit on the ground."
Li Erqin continued to ask, "Is it cold?"
"not cold."
"one person?"
"one person."
"What about the rest?"
"All asleep."
Li Erqin reacted briefly for a few seconds and realized something: "Is it expensive to call?"
"It's ok."
"Are you sleepy?"
"I felt sleepy just now, but not now."
Li Erqin could not describe his own psychology. That kind of joy and heartbeat leaked out from the bottom of my heart, and was carefully put away by myself and hidden.
The distance between him and her is obviously far away. But she felt close.
She walked to the balcony, it was afternoon here. The warm sunset hangs in the middle of the high-rise buildings, giving the last warmth to the people who get off work.
Taking a deep breath, she said to the phone, "Then you can sleep too."
Rong Si did not speak.
Li Erqin wrinkled his nose: "I'll wait for you to come back." Then he added: "Wait for you to come back and find me and Peng Zige to play."
"it is good."
She was a little reluctant: "Then... goodbye?"
"goodbye."
Phone cut off.
Li Erqin breathed a sigh of relief.
Continue to call Peng Zige.
Peng Zige answered the phone so quickly that he felt his fingers were waiting on the call button. He picked up the phone before the first "beep" rang.
Then his impatient voice came: "Did the phone get through?"
"Um."
"What did you say?"
Li Erqin recalled: "He said his sister was using his phone to watch movies."
Peng Zige is dissatisfied: "Can't you use TV and computer to watch movies?"
Li Erqin explained: "They are traveling outside."
"Travel? Where?"
"Probably not in the country."
Peng Zige shouted: "No wonder Ah Si's English pronunciation is so good! It turns out that he ran outside because he had nothing to do!"
Li Erqin didn't want to speak.
"What else?" Peng Zige wanted to know more: "When will you be back?"
"After a while."
The other side paused for at least ten seconds, and Peng Zige said loudly, "After a while? How long will it be after a while?"
"do not know."
Peng Zige was about to cry: "I'm about to die of boredom!"
"Me too."
Peng Zige stopped and asked, "Then why don't you come out to play tomorrow?"
"OK."
"I'll call and ask Su Zi."
"OK."
"I'll hang up first, I'll make an appointment later!"
"Um."
＊＊＊
In the evening, the three members of the Li family sat at the dining table to eat.
Rigorous father Li found that his daughter's appetite was very good tonight, so he sent his loving concern: "Er Lan is in such a good mood today?"
Li Erqin said nothing and ate his own meal.
Li Zhengwen put down his chopsticks and teased her: "How can you ignore your father? Have you ever thought that your father will be sad?"
Li Erqin swallowed the food in his mouth and said slowly, "Dad."
"Huh?" Li Zhengwen smiled.
"Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep."
Li Zhengwen's face turned green.
Xu Yunshu was helpless, noticing that Li Zhengwen didn't drink a sip of soup all night, and asked him, "Don't you like the soup tonight?"
Li Zhengwen immediately shook his head: "No! It's delicious!"
Li Erqin: "Dad, the soup tonight is sweet."
"real?"
Xu Yunshu: "..."
Li Erqin took a sip of the soup from his own bowl: "It's fake. How could the salted pork soup with bamboo shoots be salty?"
Li Zhengwen pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and did not speak.
Xu Yunshu filled a bowl for him and said lightly, "Don't make up."
Li Zhengwen swallowed the story about drinking sweet bamboo shoots and salted meat soup with characters with complete time and place that he had just drafted in his stomach.
The mother and daughter have no sense of humor.
Let's drink soup...
＊＊＊
After eating, Li Erqin and Li Zhengwen walked for two hours in the community, and then returned to the room.
On the phone lay a text message from Peng Zige: [Su Zi and I have an appointment to meet under the golden sculpture in Century Plaza at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. ]
Li Erqin replied: [Okay. ]
Li Erqin always woke up early, made simple milk bread for himself, picked out clothes that he thought were pretty good, and went out. Before going to work today, Li Zhengwen left the driver to Li Erqin. So she opened the door and was stunned when she saw Dad's driver reading the newspaper in the yard.
"Why is Uncle Wang here?"
Wang Cheng put down the newspaper: "Your father drove to work by himself, let me stay and see you off."
"How did he know I was going out?"
Wang Cheng smiled honestly: "He said he guessed."
Li Erqin didn't ask any more, and put on his shoes: "That will trouble Uncle Wang."
"No trouble." Wang Cheng took the gloves to open the door: "Just in time for vacation."
Li Erqin was still polite: "Thank you."
It's not a weekend, the road is fairly smooth. After blocking a few traffic lights, Li Erqin arrived at the appointed place half an hour earlier.
She told Wang Cheng about the time to go home and walked into the milk tea shop next to her.
I didn't expect to see Su Zi playing on his mobile phone three tables away from the door.
"Su Zi?" she confirmed.
Su Zi was wearing a skirt and a white down jacket today, obviously well-dressed. She turned around and saw Li Erqin, her joy was beyond words, she jumped up from her original position and ran to her: "Er Qin!"
It's just that I haven't seen each other for more than a week, and I don't know why I'm excited. But just happy.
Li Erqin forgot to order milk tea, and sat down face to face with Su Zi: "You are so beautiful today!"
Su Zi wrinkled her nose playfully: "It's hard not to wear a school uniform, of course you have to dress beautifully!"
She also went to look at Li Erqin. Li Erqin was dressed casually as always. After taking off his light gray woolen coat, she only wore black trousers and an oversized sweater.
But Su Zi felt an indescribable temperament, envious and happy.
"Er Qin, your clothes are so pretty."
Li Erqin tugged at the cuffs of his sweater: "I also picked the clothes."
"Let's see if Peng Zige chooses his clothes to wear."
The two smiled at each other.
Without saying a few words, Peng Zige came in with a cold air. Su Zi and Li Erqin looked back at the same time, the blue coat of Sao Bao, but Peng Zige's white, dressed in a particularly temperament. Without Rong Si by his side, he finally became the focus of the crowd. Before entering the door, the two girls passing by him kept whispering and looking back.
There were only two of them in the shop, so he saw them at a glance. The expression on his face suddenly bloomed, and he pulled out a huge laugh, loudly: "Er Qin! Su Zi!"
Er Qin thought about it for a while, and it seemed that it was not because of his looks, nor because of Rong Si's relationship.
His bluff is more appealing.
No one expected that the three of them would arrive earlier than the agreed time. It was too early for lunch, Peng Zige bought milk tea for himself and Er Qin, and the three continued to sit and chat in the milk tea shop.
After Peng Zige came, the topic became more chatty. Because they just need to watch Peng Zige and chat.
Su Zi was also accustomed to the rhythm that Li Erqin once mentioned—Peng Zige's one-person tea party.
He complained incessantly about how boring these days were, how much he missed them and Rong Si, and by the way, after reporting all the food and drinks from the first day of the holiday, he concluded: "The holiday is so boring."
Su Zi and Li Erqin bit the big straw of milk tea: "Yeah."
Peng Zige: "Why don't you talk?"
Su Zi and Li Erqin exchanged glances and smiled at Peng Zige: "Just be happy."
"It would be great if Ah Si was here, we can play more projects." Peng Zige flipped through the holiday play guide he had prepared in his hand: "Speaking of which, why don't we go to the movies after lunch?"
Li Erqin: "Okay."
Su Zidu couldn't help but look disgusted: "You said you did an overnight strategy and ended up watching a movie?"
Peng Zige was embarrassed: "It's not... I've been thinking about this movie for a long time, but I can't find anyone to watch it with me."
Su Zi laughed at him: "How many friends do you have? Didn't you even find someone to watch a movie with you?"
Peng Zige glared at her: "I just want to see you guys!"
"Yo?" Su Zi was surprised.
Peng Zige couldn't help: "Come on, Su Zi, let's fight!"
Su Zi smiled: "Are you sure?"
Peng Zige despised: "Just your small body, it's not a matter of a minute."
Li Erqin finally said, "Peng Zige, don't fight."
"why?"
"No matter how you fight, you will suffer," she said.
"why?"
