The Most Beautiful Years Met You [163] She squinted her eyes and enjoyed this
There must be such a person in everyone's life. She breaks your principles, changes your habits, becomes your exception, and makes you happy in the world.
——This is a quotation that Yu Zhongxiao saw on the Internet many years later. It is very suitable to describe the unknown romance between them.
…
Yu Zhongxiao came back from the cafeteria with his lunch box, and Ye Hehuan was sitting at the table, scribbling there with a pen in his hand.
"What are you doing?" Yu Zhongxiao walked over.
Ye Hehuan had already leaned forward to cover the paper, pursed his lips and said, "Nothing, just drawing and playing."
Seeing her pretending to be mysterious, Yu Zhongxiao put the lunch box on the table with a faint smile in his eyes: "What are you drawing that I can't see?"
"It's a pig, I'll show it to you." As she said that, she really moved her hands away.
Before Yu Zhongxiao could see clearly, Ye Hehuan had quickly folded the paper in half and raised his eyebrows at him proudly: "Now that I've seen it, I'll put it away first."
After she finished speaking, she folded the piece of paper into a heart shape.
Her movements were serious, as if what she held in her hand was not a piece of paper, but a rare treasure.
While folding and returning it, I glanced at him warily out of the corner of my eye, as if I was afraid that he would grab it.
Yu Zhongxiao couldn't help but laugh at the behavior of a child like her. He didn't ask any more questions about the content on the paper. He took off his coat and tie and went to wash his hands in the sink outside.
As soon as the dormitory door closed, Ye Hehuan immediately ran to the single bed, lifted the mattress and stuffed the paper 'heart' inside.
…
Yu Zhongxiao opened the door and came in, and saw Ye Hehuan lying on the table biting chopsticks. The lunch box on the table was untouched, looking bored.
"Why don't you eat?" he asked.
"Wait for you!"
Ye Hehuan felt a little sleepy, but he still managed to sit up and reached out to open the lid of the box. He said, "I am a guest. How can I use my chopsticks before the host comes?"
At this time, she became a humble and polite child again.
Yu Zhongxiao brought over three dishes, two meat and one vegetable. The portions were not large, but they were all good dishes: steamed meatloaf with eggs, braised hairtail, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Rice and tomato scrambled eggs are packed in a lunch box.
Ye Hehuan swallowed hard as he smelled the aroma of the vegetables, but still raised his head and asked: "Why is there so little food? How can it be enough for two people?"
"This is yours alone."
Yu Zhongxiao took out a pack of cigarettes from the desk drawer, shook out one and held it in his mouth. He was about to get a lighter when something suddenly occurred to him. He took out the cigarette again and turned to look at the lunch box, eagerly waiting for his answer.
Ye Hehuan couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and whispered: "I'll go to the cafeteria to eat."
Ye Hehuan let out an ooh, and did not forget to praise him before turning around: "Smoking is harmful to health, and it is right not to smoke."
Yu Zhongxiao lowered his head and smiled.
He threw the pack of cigarettes back into the drawer.
Someone knocked on the door outside the dormitory, followed by a voice: "I'm ready, let's go eat."
He is his comrade-in-arms.
Ye Hehuan pursed her lips tightly and did not dare to move the chopsticks in her hands, for fear that she would make the slightest noise.
Yu Zhongxiao rushed out the door and said, "Come right here." Then he turned to look at Ye Hehuan. His eyes were very soft. Ye Hehuan could hear the warmth in his voice: "I'll be back after eating."
Ye Hehuan nodded and watched him go out. He noticed that Yu Zhongxiao blocked the door with his body, probably because he didn't want anyone to see her.
…
After Yu Zhongxiao left, Ye Hehuan stayed alone in the dormitory. Because she was hungry, there was not much food left after her meal was swept away by the fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
She also poured herself a glass of boiling water.
After eating and drinking, Ye Hehuan threw off his shoes and lay down on the bed. Unlike those dormitory boys' beds in school, Yu Zhongxiao tidied up very cleanly. He turned his head and smelled a faint smell of washing powder on the pillow, and folded his hands.
Laying it on her lower abdomen, she squinted her eyes, enjoying the quiet and sweet feeling.
——
Yu Zhongxiao turned the key and opened the door. The dormitory was surprisingly quiet, and there were leftovers on the table. He tilted his head slightly and saw Ye Hehuan on the bed.
Her eyes were closed, her pink lips were slightly opened, and she looked peaceful as she slept.
Putting the key on the table, Yu Zhongxiao walked to the bed and sat down, his deep eyes quietly looking at her tired little face.
After a long while, he lowered his head and kissed Ye Hehuan's forehead.
The phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated.
Yu Zhongxiao was afraid of waking up the sleeping little man, so he got up and walked outside. While closing the door, he took out his mobile phone and saw Qin Shousheng's name on the caller ID.
Last time he went to school to find He Huan and exchanged numbers with Qin Shousheng.
This was the first time Qin Shousheng called him. Yu Zhongxiao pressed the answer button: "Hello? It's me...what's the matter?"
…
Maybe it was because she didn't have a good rest last night, but Ye Hehuan slept soundly this time. When she opened her eyes, she stretched contentedly.
The afterglow of dusk shines through the window.
Ye Hehuan sat up and looked around the dormitory, but did not find Yu Zhongxiao. He thought about sleeping and found that he was covered with a thin quilt.
She didn't know when she fell asleep, but it seemed like she wasn't covered with a quilt at the time...
There was a sound at the door, and Ye Hehuan looked up. The dormitory door opened, and Yu Zhongxiao came in. He had already changed into a camouflage training uniform, and he looked very handsome and strong.
"When did you wake up?" Yu Zhongxiao was holding a bag of apples in his hand.
"Just now."
Ye Hehuan scratched her long messy hair and followed him with her eyes. When she saw Yu Zhongxiao standing in front of the table and putting the bag and keys on it, she suddenly became more playful, lifted up the quilt and ran to hug him from behind with bare feet*.
Stopped him: "I'll scare you!"
Yu Zhongxiao was slightly shaken by the impact, but his expression was very calm and showed no signs of being frightened.
"Let's pretend. Look, I didn't even wear shoes to scare you!" Ye Hehuan protested dissatisfiedly, holding his training uniform with his small hands.
When she was about to continue scolding, Yu Zhongxiao suddenly picked her up and carried her back to the bed.
Ye Hehuan sat by the bedside, looking at the man squatting next to him with a towel to wipe his feet, pursed his lips, picked at his palms, and remained silent.
Yu Zhongxiao's bony left hand held her ankle, and the palm of his hand was very warm, causing a ripple in her heart.
Before she finished moving, Yu Zhongxiao had already wiped her dirty feet and let her go.
He didn't rush to wash the towel outside, but put it on the table and dragged the chair to the side.
Ye Hehuan watched him sit down and noticed the change in the atmosphere. It felt a bit bad, just like when she was a child and was called to the office for questioning by her class teacher after she forgot to do her homework.
Yu Zhongxiao pondered for a moment, looked up at her and asked, "Is there nothing you want to tell me?"
"..."
Ye Hehuan blinked her eyelashes, flickering like two dark and dense small fans. She tried to think back, and it seemed that she had nothing to hide from him. Could he have discovered the piece of paper she had hidden under her eyes?
I subconsciously touched the edge of my body, wondering if the 'heart' was still there.
"Where's your bag?"
"Huh?" Ye Hehuan was stunned for a moment, not daring to move his hands anymore, and then said as if he suddenly realized: "It's too troublesome to carry a bag, so I didn't take it."
After finishing speaking, he nodded, as if to say: Yes, that's it.
"What about the cell phone?"
"...I left it in the dormitory."
Ye Hehuan heard that he was not referring to the piece of paper on which she had ghostly drawn the talisman, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but she also vaguely felt that Yu Zhongxiao seemed to know the reason why she came here.
Sure enough, Yu Zhongxiao suddenly said: "You ran away from home secretly?"
Ye Hehuan remained silent, this reaction was regarded as acquiescence.
Qin Shousheng's worried words on the phone seemed to still be in his ears. Yu Zhongxiao stood up and pulled the chair aside: "Put on your shoes, I will take you home."
"I don't want to go home. I just want to stay here. I don't plan to go anywhere."
Hearing this, Yu Zhongxiao put down the chair for a moment, turned his head, and saw her stubbornly raised little face, and the faint loneliness and darkness in her eyes.
"Did your parents punish you?" Yu Zhongxiao raised his hand and placed it on her heart.
"..."
Ye Hehuan rushed over and hugged him. Yu Zhongxiao was very tall. She knelt beside him, put her hands through his sides and hugged him tightly. She said nothing, buried her head low, and tried to
The complex emotions of sourness, anger, and grievance in my heart were all offset by this hug.
Yu Zhongxiao didn't move, just let her hold her like this, gently stroking her head with his big hands.
Such silent comfort almost brought tears to Ye Hehuan's eyes, but she held it back because she didn't want him to worry about her.
Those are her own family problems.
Her parents who were indifferent to her, their endless quarrels, and now her life experience were added to the mix. These had nothing to do with Yu Zhongxiao, and he should not be dragged into it.
Even if he told Yu Zhongxiao, no matter how capable he was, it would be impossible for her parents to never have any bad feelings between her parents. Yin Lian and her daughter had never been in this world.
They are all mortals in this world, and no one is omnipotent.
