Chasing Summer

The bucket of popcorn in Lin Zhexia's hand barely bottomed out until halfway through the movie.

Chi Yao's gaze was clearly on the big screen all the time, but he seemed to be watching her all the time. After she put down the popcorn, she curled up her fingers and tapped on the armrest: "Finish?"

"..."

"Are you watching movies seriously?" Lin Zhexia wiped her hands with a wet tissue, "Why is your mind full of..."

"What is it?" he asked.

Her voice lowered because of embarrassment: "Hold hands."

Chi Yao was very calm, he waited for a long time but did not wait for Lin Zhexia to take the initiative to hold him, so he stretched his arm over and grabbed her hand: "That's not quite accurate."

"?"

"My mind is full of more than just holding hands."

"..."

Lin Zhexia's fingers stiffened.

I wanted to call "rogue", but I didn't have the courage to say the word when it came to my lips.

On the big screen, the content of the movie reached its climax, and the protagonist group gradually began to turn against the wind.

Lin Zhexia tried her best to ignore what Chi Yao said just now, and continued to devote herself to the plot of the movie.

However, the person next to him didn't seem to be serious about watching the movie. The boy rested his chin with one hand and took her hand with the other. hold hands" fact.

This caused Lin Zhexia to put in every time, he squeezed it twice, and immediately played: "..."

"I don't want to be with you anymore," she couldn't bear it anymore, "You are affecting my watching movies."

Chi Yao didn't intend to let go at all: "You watched the movie with your hands?"

Lin Zhexia: "..."

Chi Yao: "I still covered your eyes."

nothing.

But it is very influential.

Lin Zhexia couldn't find a more formal reason, and finally could only say: "Then don't...don't move around."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Yao got tired of making a gesture, and slowly pulled his fingers out from between her fingers, then changed his position, and squeezed her hand tightly in the palm of his hand.

Lin Zhexia gave up.

She felt that she couldn't make sense with this person.

In the end, she didn't understand what the movie was about, and even watched the story development intermittently. After the show ended, she threw the popcorn bucket and walked out with the crowd.

The movie theater itself is located in the mall, which is also the largest mall in University City.

She and Chi Yao walked to the entrance of the cinema, and Chi Yao asked her what she wanted for dinner.

Lin Zhexia chose one at random, mainly because she and Chi Yao were standing at the entrance of the cinema, and the attention was a bit high, and she couldn't wait to find a place to hide: "Let's just go to the restaurant opposite, the environment seems to be okay."

After finishing speaking, she accused again: "You are a little too ostentatious."

Chi Yao: "?"

Lin Zhexia: "A lot of people are looking at you, you should wear a mask when you go out with me next time."

Chi Yao: "Do you think it's appropriate?"

Lin Zhexia: "I think it's okay."

"But I think," he draws out a little when he speaks, "...it's not convenient to wear a mask."

Lin Zhexia vaguely felt that this sentence meant something, but at the first hearing, she couldn't hear anything wrong.

After all, it is really inconvenient to wear a mask.

It is inconvenient to look at the face recognition of the mobile phone, and it is also inconvenient to breathe.

The restaurant opposite had to wait for a table, the shopping mall had a lot of traffic, and students from so many schools around came here to have dinner after class in the evening, so it was more lively than other places.

Lin Zhexia wanted to memorize words to pass the time, but when she took out her mobile phone, she found that the battery was almost dead.

As soon as she put the phone back, Chi Yao handed over his phone from the side: "The password is still the same, enter it yourself."

Lin Zhexia took his mobile phone and was stunned: "Oh."

"However," she said, entering the string of passwords she knew by heart, "you don't have the software I want to use in your phone..."

She just finished.

The phone screen is successfully unlocked.

The first APP icon on the homepage is the word-recite software she often uses.

Moreover, she not only accidentally saw the word reciting software.

She also saw the phone screen saver.

It's her picture. When she was eighteen years old that year, she squatted on the edge of the hydrangea and was taken by Chi Yao in the "landscape photo".

Lin Zhexia: "Sure enough, you took a picture of me—you said it was a landscape photo, and I was clearly in the landscape photo."

Chi Yao said casually: "It was accidentally photographed, if you don't like it, just dig yourself out."

Lin Zhexia: "..."

This guy knows a lot about beauty software.

Not only know P pictures, but also cut pictures.

Lin Zhexia carefully looked at her profile in this photo. In fact, she was more concerned about being ugly by him than being photographed by Chi Yao.

After all, no one wants to appear in the form of "ugly photos" in the screen saver of the mobile phone of the person they like.

"I'll see how you take it," she said, "If it doesn't look good, I'll pick myself up."

But unexpectedly, Chi Yao's photography skills are not bad.

It even looks better than some of the photos she posted in her circle of friends.

After a while, Chi Yao asked, "How was the filming going?"

Lin Zhexia turned his eyes away: "It's okay, I barely allow you to take a picture of me."

"But why do you have this software," she asked before clicking on the word reciting software, "you don't learn this in your major."

While speaking, a group of people tried to squeeze in from the side, trying to cut through the line.

Chi Yao grabbed her arm, pulled her to his side, and said, "My girlfriend majors in this."

"..."

Fewer people lined up in front.

When Lin Zhexia followed the waiter in to find a seat, she thought, is this really the first time this person is in love.

Otherwise, why... so skilled.

With this question in mind, she kept observing Chi Yao's every move while eating.

She found that Chi Yao was really skilled.

Skillfully pushed her favorite dishes in front of her, seeing that she didn't move her chopsticks very much, and asked her if she didn't think it was delicious.

"No," she shook her head, her eyes fell on the black rubber band on his wrist, and said, "it's delicious."

"Poor appetite?"

"The appetite is not bad."

She added, "Don't ask, it's not because of the food anyway."

After a while, Lin Zhexia still couldn't help insinuating, and tried in a very casual tone: "During your third year of high school, what else did you do besides taking care of Aunt Bai?"

Chi Yao said in a tone of answering an idiot's question, "Go to school."

"..."

"Of course I know you are in school," Lin Zhexia asked, "Is there anything else?"

Chi Yao: "Eat, sleep, and breathe."

"..."

"Besides."

Lin Zhexia clarified the topic, "You hooked up with me back then. You were in Beijing, so you didn't secretly fall in love behind my back, right?"

Chi Yao pulled his lower lip: "Do you think I have forty-eight hours a day, and I can still find time to fall in love?"

Lin Zhexia: "Then who knows, if you sneak away from your busy schedule, it's time to talk."

Otherwise, how can you fall in love with her.

Talked so professionally.

She didn't even think about downloading their professional stuff in her mobile phone in advance, and then find an unexpected opportunity to impress the other party.

This is too routine.

I haven't been in love several times, and I can't think of that kind of routine.

Chi Yao asked her back: "Do you think I talked about it?"

Lin Zhexia nodded slowly while eating: "It's not impossible."

"I wanted to hide it from you," he put down his chopsticks, looked up at her, and sighed softly, "I didn't expect you to find out, so I'll tell the truth. In fact, I talked about more than a hundred in my third year of high school."

Lin Zhexia calculated carefully: "A total of 365 days, you change a girlfriend every three days?"

Chi Yao laughed angrily at her counting fingers: "Lin Zhexia."

"You can take it seriously, what is your brain made of?"

"..."

Only then did she realize that Chi Yao was completely joking just now.

"You can't blame me," she said to herself, "it's not impossible to change your face in three days."

Chi Yao didn't hear what she was muttering to herself.

He just put away his joking and joking attitude, looked at her seriously and said, "I haven't talked about it."

"you are the first."

The meal ended with a dessert.

"Lemon panna cotta," the waiter introduced when serving the dish, "please use it slowly."

Chi Yao doesn't like sweets, and in the end this dessert went into Lin Zhexia's stomach.

On the way, Lin Zhexia's mobile phone vibrated twice.

She was about to check it out when she remembered that it was Chi Yao's phone: "Someone sent a message looking for you."

Chi Yao didn't care much: "Look who it is."

Lin Zhexia pressed the password to unlock: "He Yang."

Hearing this name, Chi Yao said, "Don't worry about him."

Lin Zhexia ate too much, she didn't turn her head around, and typed a reply to the chat box honestly: Chi Yao said I don't care about you.

He Yang: ...

Lin Zhexia: ...Um, sorry, can you pretend you didn't see it, I will withdraw it.

She was thinking about how to explain the current situation, when He Yang responded quickly: Brother Xia?

Lin Zhexia: Well, it's me.

Lin Zhexia: How did you guess it right away?

He Yang: Hehe

The feeling of speaking with Chi Yao's cat head was very strange, she typed and added: Anyway, he said it, I just conveyed it, if you want to hold grudges, you can grate him.

He Yang: Speechless.

He Yang: I want to delete friends.

He Yang probably guessed that the two were staying together, and it was an ambiguous situation where one was using the other's mobile phone.

But his current character is an innocent boy who doesn't know anything, so he asked casually: Why are you two together? He didn't take me with him.

Lin Zhexia didn't know how to reply.

In fact, according to common sense, she is now in a relationship with Chi Yao, so she can tell him "we are together" openly.

But it may be because the person facing him is He Yang, the He Yang who grew up with her and Chi Yao.

The relationship is too close, but I don't know how to speak.

If she is with Chi Yao, it should scare him.

Lin Zhexia hadn't figured out how to say it, but her hand was one step ahead of her brain, and she replied ambiguously: I just have dinner together, next time I invite you.

He Yang replied: OK, I will remember this meal. I also remember this grudge today.

"I said don't worry about him," Chi Yao watched her chatting for a long time, and asked, "What are you talking about with him?"

After Lin Zhexia replied to the message, he turned off the screen: "It's nothing, but he asked if we were together, and I said we had dinner together."

After paying the bill after the meal, the two went back along the way they came.

The elevator needs to turn a corner and pass through a long corridor. At the end of the corridor, there is a half-closed door, which is a safe passage.

Lin Zhexia vaguely felt that this layout looked familiar.

But she couldn't tell where it looked familiar.

It seems that many places are arranged like this, such as shopping malls or hotels.

There were a lot of people waiting for the elevator, Lin Zhexia remembered that she forgot to tell him something, so she shook Chi Yao's hand: "Bend down, I have something to tell you."

Chi Yao didn't know why.

But he still bent down and leaned in her direction.

Lin Zhexia stood on tiptoe, leaned close to his ear, and said quickly: "You are also the first."

…

first boyfriend.

First time in love.

She is also the first person to fall in love with since she didn't know what liking is for a while.

Chi Yao obviously didn't think that there would be a follow-up to the topic at the dinner table before, nor did she think that she made him bend down to tell him this.

After he was stunned, he stopped and didn't move forward.

Lin Zhexia was about to ask, "Why didn't you leave?" In the next second, she was uncontrollably dragged into the safe passage beside him—

The people outside the elevator were still waiting for the elevator, and many voices came through the half-closed door of the safe passage.

People come and go outside.

With her back against the wall, Chi Yao held her in her arms, and there was only one door separating her from the crowd outside.

Chi Yao's voice was very close to her, and his voice was lowered, with a hint of bewitching: "...Would it be inconvenient to know what to do while wearing a mask?"

Lin Zhexia was stunned for a moment.

Then all thoughts point to that one answer.

Then, she started to regret it.

— She should have brought gum.

She belatedly discovered that the positions and postures she and Chi Yao were in now were very similar to when she went to Haicheng City to pull him into the safe passage and give him a lucky charm in the second year of high school.

Chi Yao lowered his head and approached her, the boy's neck lowered like a surrender, his throat moved slightly, as he approached, a certain familiar smell of washing powder that seemed to be engraved in her memory also wafted over him.

"Do you want to try?" His voice was extremely ambiguous between her lips, "... kiss your boyfriend."

Chi Yao's kiss is very similar to him.

It felt oppressive before it fell, but it became very gentle the moment it was actually touched.

His lips touched hers carefully.

Lin Zhexia's heartbeat stopped for a beat, and she didn't know how to react until Chi Yao reminded her: "Close your eyes."

She closes her eyes.

All senses are amplified, and the sound outside the safe passage gradually disappears.

The only thing left is the warm feeling from the other party's lips, and halfway through the kiss, the other party's intensified nibble.

He rubbed her lips gently as if marking his territory. Occasionally, it will give a light nibble, and then let it go again quickly.

Fortunately, the last dish just now was a dessert.

The taste of lemon panna cotta in Lin Zhexia's mouth was swept away by the other party little by little.

"I have tasted it." Chi Yao said when he let go of her.

Lin Zhexia opened his eyes: "...what."

Chi Yao raised his hand, touched her rosy lips with his fingertips, and wiped her lips in a very ambiguous way: "That dessert just now."
