There was a faint smell of lime, mixed with a light smell of tobacco. The sun fell on his body, smearing the golden outline, adding a bit of softness.
After not seeing each other for two months, Duan Jiaxu's hair was cut a little shorter. I wonder if it was Sang Zhi's imagination, but he seemed to have grown taller again. But otherwise, there didn't seem to be any big changes.
Still so indulgent and dazzling.
Sang Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
She actually felt guilty because of these words. It was as if she had really done something wrong. She was so uneasy that she didn't even know where to put her arms and legs, and her spine straightened involuntarily.
After a while, she put the stuffed doll in his hand and whispered, "I didn't know it was yours."
Sang Zhi lowered his head and took a step out awkwardly.
When she didn't hear his response, she pointed to the book in the trunk of the car and explained seriously: "I'm here to help my brother move his dormitory. When I saw something in the car, I wanted to help him move it up."
After waiting for a few more seconds, he still didn't speak.
Sang Zhi hesitated for a moment and then added: "If I knew that the doll was yours, I wouldn't help take it."
"..." Duan Jiaxu's eyebrows moved, he straightened up, and repeated questioningly, "You know it's mine, so why don't you help take it?"
Sang Zhi immediately nodded: "Absolutely not."
"You absolutely won't take it?" Duan Jiaxu's voice was lazy and slightly accusatory, "Child, do you have a conscience?"
"..."
If he takes it, he says she is a thief; if he doesn't, he says she has no conscience.
This man is simply more fickle than the sky.
Duan Jiaxu asked again: "Don't you remember the great help that my brother has done for you?"
As soon as he said these words, most of the dissatisfaction in Sang Zhi's heart disappeared, and he muttered: "Remember."
"Wouldn't that be better for my brother?"
Sang Zhi glanced at him and said nothing.
Duan Jiaxu chuckled lightly, stopped teasing her, and handed the doll to her: "You can play with it if you like it."
Sang Zhi's right hand moved. Suddenly, she remembered what he had just said, "You're targeting me." She quickly took her hand back, not having the guts to take it.
"No?" Duan Jiaxu took his hand back, "Then I throw it away?"
Sang Zhi paused and then took it.
Duan Jiaxu found it funny: "Take it if you want it, why are you so awkward?"
Hearing this, Sang Zhi was a little dissatisfied: "You just called me a thief."
"Brother, I'm kidding you." Duan Jiaxu moved the pile of books out of the car and used his other hand to close the trunk, "Let's go upstairs."
Sang Zhi followed him without saying a word.
Duan Jiaxu glanced at his phone and then asked, "Are you unhappy?"
Sang Zhi still remained silent.
Duan Jiaxu: "Can I give you a doll to compensate you?"
Sang Zhi said bluntly: "This doll is ugly."
"Is it ugly?" Duan Jiaxu raised his eyebrows and glanced sideways, "It's not bad."
"Why did you buy this."
"I didn't buy it." Duan Jiaxu thought for a while and said nonchalantly, "I forgot where it came from."
Sang Zhi suddenly understood something and asked, "Brother, did someone else give this to you?"
Duan Jiaxu: "Huh? It seems so."
Sang Zhi lost interest: "Then I'll give it back to you."
"Don't like it?" Duan Jiaxu stretched out his hand towards her, "Then take it over, brother, come and get it."
Sang Zhi returned it silently.
Duan Jiaxu asked: "Is the schoolbag heavy?"
Sang Zhi: "It's okay."
Duan Jiaxu asked again: "I'm going to climb the fifth floor soon, can you climb it?"
"Of course. I'm thirteen, not three." Sang Zhi frowned, unhappy that he was taking care of her like a baby, "And if I can't climb, will you have to carry me up?"
Duan Jiaxu looked at her up and down, twitching the corners of his lips: "It's not impossible."
Sang Zhi: "You have a beautiful idea."
Duan Jiaxu paused and suddenly laughed: "Is that a beautiful idea?"
Sang Zhi pursed her lips: "It is."
"Okay." Duan Jiaxu admitted in compromise, "I think it's beautiful."
He placed the stuffed doll on the book. It was not small in size, but its shape was a little twisted, and it looked particularly conspicuous. Sang Zhi looked at it a few times, then quickly lowered his eyelids and looked away.
The width of the stairs is not small, but there are many people going up and down.
Afraid that she would be squeezed, Duan Jiaxu walked in front and asked her to follow him.
The two quietly walked up to the fifth floor.
Sang Zhi's physical strength was not good. She was out of breath, her face was a little red, and her forehead was sweating. After climbing the last step, she held on to the wall and squatted on the ground, looking like she was refusing to move.
, said: "No, I have to rest for a while."
Duan Jiaxu looked at her for two seconds: "Okay, I'll pick you up in an hour."
"..."
Sang Zhi immediately grabbed his right leg and said, "I'm just going to take a rest, it won't take more than an hour."
Duan Jiaxu joked: "Kid, your physical strength is really poor."
Sang Zhi retorted: "It's obvious that your school is stingy and doesn't even build an elevator."
"There are only six floors in total. What kind of elevator should we build?"
Sang Zhi muttered: "Then you are so unlucky, living on the fifth floor only on the sixth floor."
"Okay, get up." Duan Jiaxu looked at his phone again and said, "My legs will go numb after a while."
He looked like he was in a hurry.
This time Sang Zhi stood up obediently.
The two of them went in along the corridor.
Sang Zhi followed him to the right, looking around curiously.
Soon we arrived at the door of 525.
The door was not closed, Duan Jiaxu opened it directly and put the book on the table closest to the door.
Sang Zhi walked in slowly, turned around and met Sang Yan's gaze.
Sang Yan and Duan Jiaxu were in the same bed. At this time, he was sitting on a chair, with his long legs raised on the table, drinking water leisurely: "Good brother, thank you for your hard work."
His posture is particularly unbeatable.
Sang Zhi said dissatisfied: "You still said you didn't have time to come down and pick me up."
Sang Yan said without changing his face: "Yes, I just finished cleaning up. I just sat down to rest for a while."
Hearing other sounds, a fat boy popped out of the bed: "Hey, is this Sang Yan's sister?"
Sang Zhi nodded: "Hello."
Another boy came out from the balcony: "Damn, my little sister is so cute."
Sang Yan screwed on the bottle cap and threw the water bottle in his hand: "Don't use bad words."
The boy quickly took the bottle and threw it to him: "Who are you trying to educate? What you usually say is -" He didn't say anything, but he suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm not being quick to talk.
Little sister, don’t imitate me.”
Sang Zhi nodded silently.
Her eyes moved to Duan Jiaxu, and then lowered again.
Duan Jiaxu packed up the things on the table, and then pulled his chair next to Sang Yan. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, imitating the way boys call her, and his tone was casual: "Little sister, sit here."
Sang Zhi said "oh" in a low voice.
Later, Duan Jiaxu walked to the toilet.
The small dormitory suddenly became noisy. Sang Zhi sorted it out. The fat boy was named Qian Fei, and the one who said bad words just now was named Chen Junwen. They were all easy to get along with and talked a lot.
Sang Yan seemed to have a good relationship with them. He chatted with them while playing on his mobile phone, and occasionally exchanged a few words.
The two of them were chatting and suddenly decided to go to the dormitory for dinner and have a barbecue outside the campus.
Take Sang Zhi with you.
Not long after, Duan Jiaxu came out of the toilet. He changed his shirt, returned to his seat, opened the drawer and took out his wallet without interfering in their chat.
Chen Junwen looked at him and said with a playful smile: "Old Xu, I just moved here. Let's go have hot pot together later."
"Tonight?" Duan Jiaxu shook his head, "You go ahead, I have something to do."
Sang Zhi looked at him immediately.
Qian Fei said: "Why are you going! Do you have a girlfriend? Absolutely not! Our dormitory is one! If you want to find a girlfriend! You must find it for me first!"
Chen Junwen argued with him: "No, help me find it first."
Qian Fei: "I don't have any conditions, just don't have a bad temper."
Chen Junwen: "As long as it's a woman."
Qian Fei: "Men are fine too."
"..."
Sang Zhi stared at them and suddenly said: "Aren't you chasing my brother?"
Sang Yan: "..."
Chen Junwen looked over in horror: "Little sister, you can't eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk indiscriminately!"
Qian Fei sat up from the bed, looked at Sang Yan thoughtfully, touched his chin and said, "Looking at it this way, Sang Yan does look quite pretty."
Sang Yan's forehead twitched: "You two, get out of here."
Duan Jiaxu laughed silently on the side, put on a pure black schoolbag and walked out: "I'll leave first, you guys chat." Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something, stopped and rubbed Sang Zhi's head: "That
Baby, if you want it, take it yourself."
After saying that, he left the dormitory.
Chen Junwen sighed: "Then let's go out too."
Qian Fei: "Okay, I'm hungry too."
Sang Yan looked at Sang Zhi: "Kid, do you want to eat hot pot?"
Sang Zhi was silent for a few seconds and shook his head: "I'm going home."
"How about something else to eat?" Sang Yan frowned, "I'll take you back after eating."
Sang Zhi shook his head again.
Sang Yan was impatient and stood up and said, "You think about it yourself, I'll go to the toilet."
Sang Zhi also stood up silently and moved Duan Jiaxu's chair back to his seat. Then, she noticed the puppet on his table and picked it up hesitantly, feeling a little depressed.
Qian Fei put on his shoes, happened to see Sang Zhi's actions, and subconsciously said: "Duan Jiaxu hasn't thrown this thing away yet? Is he poisonous?"
Hearing this, Chen Junwen also took a look: "He seems to be putting it on the bed as a decoration."
Qian Fei: "When you sleep with this thing next to you, doesn't it feel intrusive?"
Sang Zhi squeezed the doll a little harder, summoned up the courage, and asked pretending to be curious: "Is this a gift from your girlfriend who praises your brother?"
Chen Junwen immediately said: "What kind of girlfriend? How can he have time to have a girlfriend?"
Qian Fei: "Yeah, I'm as busy as a dog."
Chen Junwen: “Why am I not busy and don’t have a girlfriend.”
"Is there any other reason? Because you are ugly." Qian Fei looked at the doll in Sang Zhi's hand and thought for a moment, "This doll seems to be a prize given by Duan Jiaxu in some competition. I remember it."
