She didn't dare to look at Duan Jiaxu. When she was nervous, her reaction was half a beat slower. The little man in the red hat on the screen instantly fell into the air, accompanied by a line of subtitles "game over".
In the quiet room, the background music of the game echoed, cheerful and loud.
In this atmosphere, it seemed too weird.
Sang Zhi noticed with his peripheral vision that Duan Jiaxu withdrew his gaze and played with the buttons on the handle idly, making a clicking sound with a mechanical and smooth rhythm. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Sang Zhi instantly realized that she shouldn't mention this matter.
She shouldn't have mentioned it.
Sang Zhi's mind went blank, she poked a piece of watermelon and bit it into her mouth. This season's watermelon was not sweet, juicy and tasteless, and not very tasty. She chewed it slowly and found it a bit difficult to swallow, and after a while she said vaguely
: "I also told my brother."
Duan Jiaxu's movements stopped.
"My friend's brother just got a girlfriend." Sang Zhi put the fork back on the plate and said in an unusually calm tone, "And she didn't treat my friend well at all. So brother, don't get a girlfriend either."
Hearing this, Duan Jiaxu looked at her again with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Why are you treating your friend badly?"
Sang Zhi explained in a low voice: "It seems that she feels that her brother is too kind to her and she is unhappy."
"Is this so?"
"Yes." Sang Zhi tried his best to search for reasons in his mind and explained dryly, "If you have a girlfriend, then you can't be nice to me."
"Kid, what do you want to do for a long time?" Duan Jiaxu's brows relaxed and he said calmly, "Maybe you have completely forgotten about my brother after not seeing him for a few years."
Sang Zhi said nothing.
Duan Jiaxu put the controller on the table: "Brother will find someone gentler when the time comes."
"..."
"You are also kind to our little Sang." Duan Jiaxu smiled gently and said in a nonchalant tone, "Is this okay? Find someone else who will be kind to you."
Sang Zhi stared at the watermelon on the table and nodded slowly: "Okay."
After a long time, she suppressed the astringent feeling in her throat and reluctantly added: "Then you have to show me first when the time comes."
Sang Yan did not go out for long, and came back within half an hour.
Seeing this, Sang Zhi didn't stay here anymore and found an excuse to go back to his room.
After Sang Zhi went out, Sang Yan took off his coat and asked casually: "What time do you start part-time?"
"It's almost here." Duan Jiaxu said, "Why are you going?"
"There is a friend nearby." Sang Yan lay on the bed and stared at the phone without raising his eyelids. "If you don't bring money for dinner, ask me to go over and give him money."
Duan Jiaxu hummed and started to pack his things: "Then I'm leaving."
"Um."
He stood up, suddenly remembered what happened just now, and asked again: "Sang Yan, let me ask you something."
Sang Yan: "Ask."
"Your sister——" Duan Jiaxu's voice paused for a moment, as if he was thinking.
"What's wrong with my sister?" Sang Yan was impatient, "Just ask, why are you taking so long?"
Duan Jiaxu finally finished his words: "Has your sister ever told you not to fall in love?"
"Ah?" Unexpectedly, Sang Yan paused and said, "Yes."
"..."
"When I was a freshman in high school, my parents thought I fell in love prematurely." Sang Yan thought about it for a long time, scratching her head and said, "She seemed to be seven or eight years old at the time? She cried a lot when she found out."
Duan Jiaxu asked again: "What about now?"
"Now?" Sang Yan sneered, "She doesn't think I can find a girlfriend at all."
"..."
"Why do you ask this when you have nothing to do?"
"It's okay." Duan Jiaxu came back to his senses and smiled, "I'll just ask."
Not long after returning to the room, Sang Zhi heard Duan Jiaxu leaving.
Sang Zhi stared at the ceiling, slammed the curtains shut, took the doll Duan Jiaxu had given her, held it in her arms, and quickly threw it away. She turned over and lay on the bed, feeling her heart empty and she didn't want to move.
one time.
I feel like I have heart palpitations, some regrets, and I feel like something bad will happen at any time.
She seemed too impulsive.
You shouldn't hide anything just because you are young.
Did he discover it?
Could he have discovered it already?
What happens if he finds out.
Do you think it's strange that she has been thinking about such things since she was so young, and you can't understand why she has such thoughts?
Will he educate her and start to change his attitude towards her?
Or, will he start to alienate her and never treat her as well as before?
None of them are good results.
Sang Zhi suddenly sat up, took out the phone from under the pillow, and pulled out Duan Jiaxu's phone number. He wanted to explain something more, but felt that he would only get darker and darker.
She watched the phone screen gradually go black, and her nose suddenly felt sore.
Sang Zhi didn't know what to do.
She just knows.
This secret seems to be undiscoverable.
The next day at ten o'clock in the evening.
After a day's work, Duan Jiaxu took the key and opened the door to the dormitory. Just as he was about to grab a change of clothes and wash up, he suddenly received a call from Sang Yan. He put the phone to his ear and walked toward the balcony.
"Hello."
Sang Yan's voice came from the receiver: "Duan Jiaxu, don't come over tomorrow. Let's change it to the day after tomorrow."
"..." Duan Jiaxu paused, "What's wrong?"
After a few seconds of silence, Sang Yan clicked his tongue and seemed extremely speechless: "That kid fell in love early and said she wanted to find her boyfriend. Now she is being taught a lesson by my parents."
Thinking that he heard it wrong, Duan Jiaxu almost choked: "What?"
Sang Yan repeated: "Puppy love."
Duan Jiaxu thought of the little boy he met before: "With her little classmate?"
"No." Sang Yan coughed lightly, maybe because he felt a little bit stupid, "I heard it, it seems that it is... online dating?"
"..."
Sang Yan: "She said she was going to her boyfriend's city to find him."
Duan Jiaxu raised his eyebrows: "This is not possible."
"Nonsense, how can we let her go? This kid is so ignorant. My parents have been training her for two hours." Sang Yan said, "She probably won't be in the mood to study tomorrow, so you can come over the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Duan Jiaxu couldn't help laughing, and let out a shallow breath in his throat, "Don't be too harsh to her. It's normal to have such thoughts at this age. Talk to her and let her have some sense of control.
That’s it.”
"..."
"She will understand what she should know."
Sang Zhi felt that he had come up with a great trick.
Although the price was being scolded by her own father, her own mother, and her own brother, during the process of being scolded, she secretly overheard the phone call made by Sang Yan, and she felt that everything was worth it.
Just let him know!
She doesn’t have a crush on him at all! Even! She already has a partner!
Otherwise, with that old man's narcissistic character, even if he didn't suspect it this time, he would sooner or later become suspicious.
Sang Zhi was extremely certain.
If he found out about her little thoughts, the consequences would definitely be bad.
What can she do?
She can do nothing but wait, except love.
At least for now, until Duan Jiaxu feels that she is no longer a child, that is the case.
Tutoring time has been changed to Thursday morning at 9am.
This time, Sang Zhi got up on time and sat down at the desk in Sang Yan's room half an hour early.
Sang Yan was a light sleeper, and was suddenly awakened by her crackling movement. He looked at the time and saw that it was only half past eight. He was so excited to get up that the veins on his forehead jumped: "What are you doing?"
Sang Zhi looked for the pen and said nothing.
Sang Yan pointed to the door, holding back his temper and said, "You'd better get out before I get angry."
"Brother, I have to study." Sang Zhi opened the exercise book and said, "You can go out."
"..."
"You go to the living room and sleep."
"..."
At this time, Sang Yan was too lazy to pay attention to him. Holding back the anger in his stomach, he turned over and continued to sleep.
Sang Zhi made no other noise. Her eyes were on the textbook, but her attention always moved to the entrance. She was thinking about Duan Jiaxu's arrival and what expression she should use to face him.
Or, in fact, there is no need to consider this matter at all.
Just act like it's nothing.
It didn't seem right. In his opinion, something very serious had happened to her current situation, which had caused her great harm.
So she should have to pretend that she has just been forcibly broken up, lost her love, and is numb to the pain?
Sang Zhi was thinking and looking at what Duan Jiaxu told her the day before yesterday.
Soon, the doorbell rang at the entrance.
Sang Zhi subconsciously looked in the direction of Sang Yan and found that he showed no sign of getting up. She hesitated and could only run over by herself and opened the downstairs door for Duan Jiaxu.
After waiting for a few minutes, there was movement outside. Sang Zhi glanced through the security door before opening the door silently.
Seeing her, Duan Jiaxu raised his eyes, slightly surprised: "Xiao Sangzhi got up so early today?"
Sang Zhi nodded, said nothing, turned around and walked to Sang Yan's room.
Duan Jiaxu took off his shoes and followed her: "Have you had breakfast?"
Sang Zhi nodded again: "My mother made porridge."
The two walked into the room.
Sang Yan opened his eyes sleepily, stared at the two of them, and then sat up, as if to calm his breathing. Then, he hugged the quilt suddenly and left the room in silence.
Duan Jiaxu closed the door and said lazily: "Your brother has quite a temper."
Sang Zhi sat on the chair: "Yeah."
Sitting next to her, Duan Jiaxu was not in a hurry to give her tutoring. He picked up a pen, tapped it on the table, and asked in a low voice: "Child, I heard that you fell in love prematurely?"
I knew he would definitely mention it.
Sang Zhi glanced at him and pretended not to hear.
Duan Jiaxu: "How do we know each other? Let me tell my brother."
"..."
"Brother, can you give me some advice?"
Sang Zhi pursed her lips and said displeased: "Why are you so gossipy?"
"Brother, can't you care about you?" Duan Jiaxu's eyes swept over her face, and the corners of his lips slightly curved, "You told your brother not to fall in love, but you fell in love with him instead?"
"..."
Duan Jiaxu asked again: "That little boyfriend of yours online asked you to go find him?"
This was originally a character fabricated by Sang Zhi, and she didn't know how to deal with it, so she could only nod along with his words.
"how old?"
Sang Zhi thought about Duan Jiaxu's age, and felt that if she said she was the same age as him, it would expose her flaws. She hesitated for a few seconds, and then said calmly: "I'm about to graduate from college."
"..." Duan Jiaxu thought it was children playing house. When he heard the word "university", he doubted his ears, "Huh? How old are you?"
"...Probably more than twenty."
The smile on Duan Jiaxu's face gradually faded: "Where did he ask you to find him?"
Sang Zhi felt guilty and said, "Just over there in Yihe."
"You—" Duan Jiaxu changed his title to "old boyfriend."
"..."
He twitched the corner of his mouth and said word by word: "Do you know how old you are?"
Sang Zhi nodded hesitantly.
The smile on Duan Jiaxu's face disappeared completely. He threw away the pen in his hand and reached out to her: "Give it to me."
Sang Zhi raised his head and said nonchalantly: "Ah? What are you giving me?"
Duan Jiaxu: "Telephone."
Sang Zhi: "Don't you have one?"
"What I'm talking about is," Duan Jiaxu stared at her expressionlessly, "it belongs to your old boyfriend."
"..." Sang Zhi's eyes widened, "No."
Duan Jiaxu laughed angrily: "Are you still protecting your shortcomings?"
Where can she find a number for him?
Sang Zhi said bravely: "It just won't work anyway."
"Sang Zhi, I don't want to lose my temper with you." Duan Jiaxu thought this was extremely unbelievable and said patiently, "Listen carefully, your family won't want to harm you. They think this can't be done because of this."
Things may indeed cause harm to you. You cannot fall in love before you reach adulthood or graduate from high school. When you grow up, no one will care about you no matter what you want."
"..."
"Did you hear that?"
Sang Zhi was silent for a few seconds, then reluctantly said, "But I can't stand the temptation."
Duan Jiaxu frowned: "What."
"If someone falls in love in front of me," Sang Zhi said, "I will also want to fall in love."
"..."
What's the point?
Duan Jiaxu found it speechless and funny: "Then you want to fall in love after watching a romantic drama?"
"No." Sang Zhi muttered, "I mean people close to me."
"Why are you such a petty kid?" Duan Jiaxu looked at her up and down and said slowly, "You can't fall in love, but you don't allow others to fall in love?"
"Yeah." Sang Zhi glanced at him quickly, "Isn't this intentional to stimulate others?"
"Okay, I'll treat you as being reasonable." Duan Jiaxu spread out the textbooks on the table with a casual expression, "Brother won't tell you about future matters. Regarding your old boyfriend asking you to go to Yihe."
"..."
"What a coincidence. My brother lives there, and he will go back after the New Year." Duan Jiaxu smiled again, with the corners of his eyes slightly curved, "I want my brother to know that you went there before you became an adult."
Sang Zhi: "...What are you doing?"
"That little Sangzhi probably," Duan Jiaxu pinched her cheek affectionately, with a slight smile in his voice, "can't see myself becoming an adult anymore."
"..."
The author has something to say: Young Duan Jiaxu: Looking for a child that old, is there something wrong with this child?
Five years later, old dog Duan Jiaxu: Seven years old! Perfect! Age difference!
This year has already been busier than the Chinese New Year. A relative came suddenly today. I have to learn to drive a car tomorrow. I don’t know when I will come back. It may be late. qwq
Thanks to my wives for feeding and caring for me, hmm!——
