When the evening self-study is over, it is already dark, and as a high school student, you should take the time to wash up and sleep. But tonight's short leisure time after school made Tang Lingfei feel a sense of long-lost happiness.
Because there was Xu Zhe on her left and Song Xingye on her right.
It seemed like it had been a long time since the three of them walked out of the school gate together like this.
Tang Lingfei sighed softly: "When we were in the third grade of junior high school a few months ago, we often walked together, but we always felt like we were separated from each other."
Xu Zhe: "It's very good. Feifei can say the idiom 'It feels like a world away'."
Tang Lingfei couldn't help but patted his arm: "I'm not stupid, why can't I use such a simple idiom? What image do I have in your mind?"
Song Xingye on the other side covered his mouth and snickered silently.
The three of them walked out of the school gate talking and laughing, then crossed the road and arrived at the residential building.
Xu Zhe stood at the door of the unit and couldn't help but ask: "Are you in this building too?"
Tang Lingfei smiled and said, "Yes!"
Song Xingye said: "Now just pretend that we are not around and go home and open the door normally."
Xu Zhe walked into the unit door, turned left, took out the key and opened the door. Then, he heard the sound of another key opening the door.
Turning around, she saw that the door on the right was opened by Song Xingye with the key, and Tang Lingfei was standing next to her, snickering.
Xu Zhe was surprised and said: "Good fellow, you two live across from me?!"
Song Xingye opened the door and invited, "Would you like to come in and take a look?"
Of course Xu Zhe nodded in agreement.
So he closed his door and followed the two girls to their house.
As soon as he entered the door, Song Xingye took out a pack of new slippers that had not yet been opened: "This will be yours from now on."
Xu Zhe put on slippers with them and walked around the house.
Because they are facing each other, the layout of the two houses is symmetrical. They have the same two bedrooms and one living room, and are only about 60 square meters. And because they are all rented, from the decoration to the furniture, there is no girlish style.
Xu Zhe asked casually: "How do you arrange a study and a bedroom?"
Song Xingye: "I sleep in the study room. Because there is an empty bookshelf in the study room, and I have many books to put there."
Tang Lingfei: "There is a wardrobe in the bedroom. Xiao Yezi and I put our clothes in the wardrobe."
Xu Zhe suddenly thought of a question: "If you two put your clothes together, wouldn't you wear them wrong?"
Song Xingye explained: "They are not put together. They use half of the cabinets separately."
Xu Zhe nodded, opened the bedroom door, and looked inside.
Song Xingye added: "I have to brush my teeth and wash my face. You guys can chat slowly. Don't chat for too long. We have classes tomorrow."
Then Xu Zhe realized that Xiao Yezi deliberately left a little space for the two of them to get along. Next, he should be responsible for enlightening a certain sports girl.
So Xu Zhe simply walked to the bedroom and stood beside the bed, as if he was carefully observing the layout of the bedroom.
Tang Lingfei came over and asked, "What do you think?"
Xu Zhe sniffed, lowered his voice and said, "It seems to smell like milk."
Tang Lingfei was stunned immediately. After two seconds, her face turned red and she patted his arm hard.
The girl's palm hit his forearm with a "pop" sound. Xu Zhe didn't dodge at all and took the blow forcefully.
So Tang Lingfei couldn't help but ask: "Are you okay? Does it hurt?"
Xu Zhe: "Fortunately...it doesn't hurt too much."
The girl pouted: "Humph, who told you to joke around!"
Xu Zhe stared at her with a smile, and suddenly said in an unquestionable tone: "You must have something on your mind recently."
Tang Lingfei couldn't help but be stunned: "What?"
Xu Zhe: "I can see that you are not very happy."
Tang Lingfei: "Who can be happy when you have to train and do homework all day long..."
Xu Zhe shook his head slightly: "I mean more than that. Think about it, how long have we known each other? I can tell at a glance whether you are happy or not. Just say whatever you have, maybe I can help?" "
Tang Lingfei looked back. The bedroom door was not closed.
But Xu Zhe added: "Xingye can't hear it. She is brushing her teeth and washing her face. Listen, there is the sound of water."
Tang Lingfei walked over and closed the bedroom door before returning to him.
The girl whispered: "It's still getting bigger."
Although the subject was missing from this sentence, Xu Zhe still guessed what the hidden subject was in an instant. I wanted to laugh a little, but luckily I held it back.
He asked, "Would you like a new sports bra?"
Tang Lingfei shook her head: "I have already changed it. The problem is not whether I have a sports bra or not. The problem now is that it is too heavy and it really affects my running."
Xu Zhe thought for a moment and then simply said: "Then give up."
Tang Lingfei: "What are you giving up?"
Xu Zhe: "Don't be a sports student, study hard, or try to be an art student or something."
"But..." Tang Lingfei couldn't help but clenched her fists, "But I'm already practicing!"
Xu Zhe spread his hands and said: "Yes, this is called sunk cost. Fortunately, your sunk cost is not much now, and you have only practiced for a month. What is enough time for you? It's too late to give up now."
Although she had been secretly cheering for herself for a long time, the girl couldn't stand firm after hearing what he said.
Tang Lingfei hesitated: "But I told my parents... They also told me that practicing sports will be hard and tiring, but I said that this time it will not be three minutes."
Xu Zhe: "Oh, you don't have to worry about this at all. After all, you have worked very hard. What restricts you is practical problems. You have also watched the Olympics, right? Recall that among the female runners, which one has breasts that are larger than normal? big?"
Tang Lingfei: "..."
Xu Zhe: "For them, having too big breasts is definitely their fatal weakness!"
Tang Lingfei looked down at her fatal weakness, her face full of sadness.
And Xu Zhe added: "But if you don't practice sports, that's your core competitiveness."
Tang Lingfei asked subconsciously: "Competitiveness, competition for what?"
Xu Zhe said shamelessly: "I like it!"
For a moment, the bedroom became extremely quiet.
Tang Lingfei lowered her head and did not dare to look at him, her face was so red that it looked like it could drip blood. But the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up...
Suddenly, there were two knocks on the bedroom door.
Then Song Xingye opened the door and said, "I'm going to take a shower. Get some clothes."
Xu Zhe immediately said: "I just have to leave, so you should have a good rest and go to bed early."
Then when he walked to the door, he blinked and exchanged glances with Song Xingye. The meaning in his eyes was very clear - this little girl has done it.
————
The part that had been planned for a long time was finally written - Tang Lingfei had to give up her sports dream due to certain practical constraints.
Well, this constraint is very interesting.
