countdown to winter

Chapter 55

He was riding a bicycle with one leg on the ground, and there was a large green shade behind him. He was in the shade, smiled at him, and said, "Do you want to eat together?"

The dark cloud in Shi Xing's heart suddenly dissipated without any wind. He couldn't wait to run over and sat in the back seat, "Why did you come to pick me up? Didn't I chase you? I should pick you up and go home."

"Xing'er," Wen Xia rode a bicycle, calling this long-unspoken title, "protect yourself."

Shi Xing's heart softened, and his voice became much softer, "Why did you say this all of a sudden?"

The bicycle drove through the alley, and the hanging branches and leaves swept over the top of the hair, itching, as if it had swept over the tip of the heart.

"Because my father also does this," Wen Xia gripped the handlebar tightly, "I don't want you to lose anything because of this—I can't stand death, it's too cruel."

The words were calm, but Shi Xing knew that for Wen Xia, these words meant several years of suffering. He hugged Wen Xia's waist tightly, put his cheek on his back, and said: "good."

"I promise you, protect yourself."

The summer night is very bright, even with the stars, they gaze at all things gently, flourishing, warm, and surging.Wen Xia took Shixing to a ramen restaurant, Shixing wanted to make it spicy, so Wen Xia patted his hand.

"You don't want your stomach anymore?"

Shi Xing shook his hand, looked around and said in a low voice, "Teacher Wen, I really like you."

"I see." Wen Xia withdrew his hand, and put the teacup in his hand, "Drink more hot water if you like it."

"I was thinking about paying you back before," Shi Xing laughed, and took a sip of warm water, "I remember it clearly, thinking that when I graduate, if I can't find you, I will send you the money." You——a total of 230 and [-] yuan, including the money for Daguoli."

Wen Xia was a little surprised: "Are there so many?"

Shi Xing: "I don't know."

He smiled softly and blew on the ramen.

In fact, there are so many, but he is a bit biased. After Wen Xia took him in, the vegetables he bought, the rice he cooked, the big fruit yogurt he bought, and he even clearly marked the price of every sentence, just to let himself He will always remember that he will never repay what Wen Xia gave him.

In this way, Shi Xing has a reason to follow him-he has to pay back.

After eating, Wen Xia asked him, "Where do you want to go?"

Shi Xing: "You can take me with you, wherever you go."

Wen Xia just wanted to say that he was sour, but he looked into his eyes, which reflected the bright moonlight in June, which was almost too clear to resist. His Adam's apple twitched, and finally he patted the bicycle seat, "Come up."

Wen Xia also had no destination, and this place was not too unfamiliar to him, so he rode casually, at a slow speed. Shi Xing slowly hugged his waist, and deliberately touched his abdomen with his fingertips, smelling Xia said, "Don't move around, it's itchy."

The voice stopped abruptly, and he felt the warm touch from his back.

Shi Xing kissed his shoulder blade.

Xia Ri's clothes are very thin, so the tactile sensation is very clear. When Wen Xia was distracted, the car almost fell, Shi Xing shook, and laughed, "You are not good at driving."

Wen Xia: "..."

I don't know how long we walked, Shi Xing said, "Come to the tree in front and stop."

Wen Xia stopped in front of the tree, "Want to sit down?"

"Want to talk to you."

When Shi Xing got off his bicycle, he didn't think the ground was dirty, so he sat on the ground and said, "The ground is still hot."

Wen Xia put the car aside, walked up to him and sat down, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said, "Are you in a bad mood today?"

"Why do you think so?" Shi Xing propped his chin and looked at him sideways.

"I don't know why, my intuition."

"Then your intuition is quite accurate."

"why?"

The bright light of the street lamp passed through the gaps between the branches and leaves, the cicadas were singing above the head, and the light spots on the body fell on the eyelashes, and they were all broken into stars. Wen Xia reached out to touch the light spot and asked softly.

"Shi Haoran came out."

Wen Xia's hands stopped abruptly, he looked at Shi Xing - soon he also realized that Shi Haoran was sentenced to five years and three months in prison, the time was too long, he even almost forgot the existence of this person.

But Shi Xing can never forget.

This is the cross that the world gave him, to which he is forever bound and cannot escape.
