The rest of the week goes by really fast.
After getting rid of the annoying evening self-study, Zhu Yu could finally go home in time for dinner.
Lin Suicao and I met at the school gate every day, then took the evening bus and got off near the vegetable market. After buying the ingredients and going home, we had dinner together, and then went back to our respective rooms to complete our homework.
The two of them adhered to a certain tacit understanding and never mentioned the loss of control that happened a few days ago, as if they wanted to build a breakwater through stable days to block out the unknown turbulent waves.
Although Suicao insisted last time that he should continue to experience therapy, he has calmly not mentioned it again recently, and even deliberately distanced himself from Zhu Yu, returning to the way he tried to avoid physical contact when he was just discharged from the hospital. status.
As a result, the time of living together seems to have gone back to the summer vacation, and the past impulses have been secretly suppressed, leaving an increasingly conspicuous blank trace in our lives.
But downplaying the Pygmalion story before the inevitable blowback came to fruition.
On Saturday night, Xia Fenghe called again to confirm whether she could go out together tomorrow.
Although she launched an offensive with perseverance and even put aside her non-existent dignity as a sister to plead, Lin Suicao still chose to stay behind closed doors like an iceberg.
After saying goodbye, she sat on the edge of the bed, turned off the phone, and fell back.
The slender waist was raised as if it was about to break, and the long black hair flowed behind her like splashing ink.
The girl who was half lying on her bed turned over, just in time to bring a seal's head into view.
She stared at it for a while, then suddenly stretched out her hands and rubbed it vigorously as if to vent her anger, squeezing the snow-white doll placed beside her pillow into a strange shape.
"I want to go too."
He put his legs together and rubbed them slowly. The touch of the past few days seemed to emerge from the bottom of his memory.
But I can't agree to my sister's invitation.
"There must be time to calm down..."
If three people were together in this state, she would definitely not be able to bear it.
You will definitely do something you shouldn't do.
She pulled her gift into her arms, hugged it tightly, and closed her eyes.
"Jingle Bell--"
When he opened his eyes again, the skylight from the outside world had penetrated the curtains, illuminating the dim room.
The alarm clock was ringing annoyingly, and the girl who was angry about getting out of bed slapped it with her hand, ending its buzzing.
"I actually fell asleep like this."
Lin Suicao stared at the ceiling blankly, curling up his smooth legs that were a little cold.
She slept badly last night and wasn't even covered with a quilt.
You probably won't catch a cold.
With thoughts like this, Suicao got out of bed, stretched out his toes to find his slippers, and staggered out of the room.
It's a day off anyway, so don't be too anxious.
There was a quiet atmosphere floating in the room. The other person probably hadn't gotten up yet, so lazy.
But the aroma was already coming from the kitchen, and the rice cooker was cooking white porridge that was kept warm.
Lin Suicao accepted this gift from nature, sat at the table and finished breakfast alone, and finally began to feel a little impatient.
Why haven't you gotten up yet? The porridge is almost cold.
Today is obviously the first day after the summer vacation when both of them are at home during the day.
Of course she is not afraid of loneliness, but she also needs to care about her boyfriend's mental health occasionally.
So Suicao walked to a room that didn't belong to her. After being mentally prepared, she didn't knock on the door and just turned the doorknob.
The room was much more lively than during the summer vacation. The quilts on the bed were folded into lumps, and the dust in the air was suspended in the sunlight.
Looking at the empty bedroom and the good weather outside, the girl who had low blood pressure in the morning suddenly remembered something.
By the way, he should have gone out with his sister.
She was the only one at home today.

Although the sun was shining brightly, Zhu Yu still felt a chill on his back and sneezed.
"Are you sick?"
A worried greeting came from the side.
Xia Fenghe was wearing the same outfit they met in the hospital corridor today, but she changed the sleeveless white vest into a bright gray hoodie and a light yellow wide-brimmed sun hat on her head. The side ponytail, which is tied neatly than usual, is dangling energetically, and the end gradually turns into a maroon color.
When Zhu Yu asked, she immediately forgot about the cold topic and scratched her hair in embarrassment.
"Mom tied it for me, and it's the same color... Anyway, I don't have to go to school for the time being."
She added as if to defend herself.
It seems that Xiaoxia has integrated into society very well since she was discharged from the hospital.
"Does she know what happened to you today?"
"I know, I know, but she thought I was with Suicao."
She put down her hands, "Why doesn't she want to come out?"
"I said I need to study hard."
Zhu Yu originally thought that the other party had something serious to discuss with the two of them, but it turned out that Xia Fenghe seemed to have the whole intention of playing together.
So he couldn't help but hit the other person: "What about you? If you want to return to society, you must repeat your studies. How is your tutoring going?"
Xia Fenghe is about the same age as him, and theoretically should be in the third year of high school to college.
However, the high school she originally went to was different from Lin Suicao and him.
"Ah~ah~I can't hear you."
She raised her hands to cover her ears, "No preaching allowed."
"...The clothes you are wearing today look very nice."
"Really?"
Zhu Yu stared at her indifferently.
Xia Fenghe put down his hands and his pretty face turned red.
"My purpose is not to play."
She whispered, "It's for therapy."
"Then I really want to listen to your rehabilitation plan."
Xia Fenghe gradually became more confident: "Look, I also grew up in this city. Maybe seeing familiar scenery will stimulate the revival of memories. This is called body... body..."
"Experience therapy?"
"That's right, experience therapy! Why do you show such a painful expression?"
Zhu Yu sighed deeply.
"nothing."
The place where they agreed to meet was just outside the community where Xia Shurong lived, not far from where Lin Suicao and he started following her last time.
"So, where do you want to go?"
When I stood at the intersection, the traffic lights on the opposite side of the crosswalk began to flash.
Xia Fenghe quickened his pace and reached the roadside first. When he turned around, his braid lifted up briskly, drawing a gentle arc like a swallow.
"I want to go where you have been before."
The vehicle stopped at the front door of the Linhe restaurant.
"This is where we ate last time. Although the main purpose was to follow your mother, I didn't eat anything."
Zhu Yu looked up at the familiar sign, "Wouldn't it be better to change it to another place?"
"not good."
Xia Fenghe shook his head firmly, "I've never been there, it's just the two of you."
"It would be better if Suicao is here."
She took the lead to step into the room and turned back as if seeking confirmation, "We agreed that the three of us should be together, right?"
"So, it starts with sharing memories like this."
