Chapter 16 Open Xia Xinyu’s book
"It's just like being at the seaside. There's also a beach."
Stepping on the sand with her bare feet, a wave came over and completely covered Xia Xinyu's feet, and a cool feeling suddenly swept through her whole body. At the end of summer in the south, there is still a lingering tail of heat, and the night air is still a bit dull, so the coolness at this moment is comparable to the warm sun in winter, which is a blessing that it is difficult not to praise.
Xia Xinyu had a great time. Although some fine sand and gravel hit the hem of her skirt and stained her new skirt today, who would care about being clean when playing in the mud puddles of children?
"Chen Yuan, come over and play."
Xia Xinyu happily wanted to invite Chen Yuan, but found that the other party was raising his mobile phone towards her.
"Are you taking pictures?"
"It was a secret photo taken."
"Did you just say something like secretly filming..."
"Do you want to see it?"
Xia Xinyu walked to Chen Yuan's side, lowered her head, and saw a photo of herself on the phone holding her skirt and playing with water: "Suddenly I realized that the moon today is so bright and beautiful."
The moonlight shone on him, and a small silhouette appeared.
"It's very beautiful."
Chen Yuan nodded, agreeing with the other party's evaluation.
No makeup, no PS, no filters, just a random picture without makeup, just like the wallpaper.
Although God had imposed poverty on her, the beauty was more than enough to compensate.
A door was closed, but a large floor-to-ceiling window of 7x2.4m was made, right?
Xia Xinyu didn't answer Chen Yuan's unintentional words. She just shrugged slightly, smiled, then turned around and continued walking towards the river.
The oncoming wind parted her beautiful hair to both sides.
Chen Yuan followed him without taking off his shoes.
After the two people walked through the soft sand, they arrived at two large rocks on the river bank. Then he sat on the stone.
"Will your butt get wet?"
"Don't say such things that ruin the atmosphere."
"The moist river water on the bluestone will penetrate the cotton and linen and wet the skin, right?"
"..."
Xia Xinyu didn't pick on Chen Yuan's trouble this time. She raised her legs, exposing two smooth calves, and slapped them on the water. She was in a very active mood.
"How did you find this place? Isn't it great?" Xia Xinyu asked curiously.
"I passed by here before when I was riding a bicycle. I thought it would be comfortable at night, so when I had something to do, I ran here to enjoy the breeze."
"So, is this your first time bringing someone here to this secret base?"
A trace of desire flashed in the girl's eyes.
He understood that the reason why the other party asked this was not because of jealousy.
She has no reason to be jealous.
She just hoped that what she got today was more precious than the thing itself.
The treasures he shared with her, so far, belong to her alone.
"This is your first time, but don't tell others." Chen Yuan lowered his voice.
"Tell others..." Xia Xinyu tilted her head in confusion, "Why not?"
"I will definitely bring her here next time I act like a friend. If she knows it's not the first time, she will be unhappy."
"..." These words gradually wiped out Xia Xinyu's happy expression. She pursed her lips with a subtle look on her face, "Then are you also lying to me?"
"This is really not the case. This must be your first time, I swear."
"If your future girlfriend asked you the same question, would you say the same thing?"
"I shouldn't swear..."
"A scheming man." After placing her fingers under her eyelids, sticking out her tongue, and making a face, Xia Xinyu turned her head in contempt.
This girl is much harder to fool than I thought...
Yes, after all, it is generally not the case for top academics in No. 4 Middle School to have good brains and low emotional intelligence.
Those top academics who look dull and straight don't really have low emotional intelligence. In most cases, they just don't want to think straight.
"But it's probably rare to find a girl who's willing to come here with me to enjoy the night breeze. After all, it's really not interesting."
"Being too obsessed with meaning will make life boring."
Xia Xinyu's casual words were all laced with simple philosophical thinking.
Therefore, there was only one direct reason why she wanted to commit suicide, and that was that her parents and family were no longer around, and she was unable to bear the loneliness and sadness.
If it hadn't been for this, she would have been more optimistic and more motivated than anyone else.
That's why she is a pity.
Just as the two of them were quietly blowing the wind and looking at the bright moon on the river, a phone call came.
Xia Xinyu frowned slightly when she saw it, but she still connected: "Hello, what's wrong?"
With such an unfamiliar tone and the expression just now, is he an annoying person?
Or rather, I don’t hate him, I’m just uncomfortable with the other person’s erratic behavior.
"Classmate Xinyu, you haven't come to school these days. Did something happen?"
When she heard the words 'what happened', Xia Xinyu's face darkened a little, but she still replied politely: "I'm going to transfer to my hometown in Jingnan."
"Transferring to another school? Is it so sudden?"
"Um."
"That's such a pity. Your classmates are all worried about you. Before you leave, will you get together with your classmates? Your deskmate Zhang Zihan will be here, and a few others..."
"No, I'll leave tomorrow. Thank you for your concern."
"This, that..."
"Who is it?" Chen Yuan suddenly interrupted.
"...It's a classmate." Xia Xinyu was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and answered Chen Yuan cooperatively.
"Oh, let's talk. I'm going to get the movie tickets."
"Um……"
When I heard a boy's voice over there and heard the words 'movie tickets', I visibly froze. Then, he suddenly made a cheerful smile: "Then keep in touch from now on, classmate Xinyu."
"good."
After saying that, Xia Xinyu hung up the phone, muted her phone and placed it on the stone.
Then, he put his hands on the stone, raised his head, and greedily felt the river breeze.
But Chen Yuan could tell that she wanted to skip what happened just now.
"It turns out that I was pestered by a boy I didn't like..."
When Chen Yuan said this, he was still wondering if he had ever done such a low-level thing.
Suddenly, my mind began to review various scenes and review my life.
Fortunately, I am the one being harassed.
"This... I don't know how to put it, because I don't know him very well, so it was quite embarrassing to answer his call." Xia Xinyu shook her head, not showing any disgust.
The ones she dislikes are those who suddenly add their QQ to say they like her without even saying a word.
Because this kind of thing happened often in the first year of high school, she simply stopped adding people besides her own class later on.
"But." Xia Xinyu looked at Chen Yuan and explained quite seriously, "I'm not arrogant or anything. If he had been friends with me from the beginning, instead of being a complete stranger in school, but chatting on QQ If so much, I wouldn’t think so.”
"He is fearful but boring... very much like an old friend of mine."
Zhou Yu's face appeared in Chen Yuan's mind.
But Zhou Yu is different from him.
Social fear, boredom, and pornography.
Well, different means that there are more disadvantages.
"Actually, Chen Yuan, you just..."
Looking at Chen Yuan's upright, delicate and calm face, Xia Xinyu was about to say something, but stopped when she reached her mouth.
In fact, Chen Yuan, you have a very good personality.
Although it feels very natural, you will not cross the boundary inexplicably and do something that will embarrass the other party.
All I can say is that he gives people a sense of confidence and calmness from the inside out.
I have never felt a hint of flattery from this boy.
Of course, there is no need to please yourself in the first place.
There is no need for those boys to treat themselves like this. Whether they are classmates, friends, or lovers, their attitude should be equal.
"What are you talking about half-heartedly?"
Are you also a dog out of context?
"I wanted to praise you, but I was afraid that you would become complacent, so I decided to reserve my opinion and encourage you to make progress."
It's really rare for Xia Xinyu to be talkative.
All I can say is that I am still naïve... just because she cooked a few meals for me, I preconceived the idea of becoming the kind of sister next door who is a good wife and mother.
But obviously, this is too superficial.
If Xia Xinyu was reading this book, she would only have turned the title page.
"Okay, okay, okay."
After replying lazily, Chen Yuan continued to blow the wind quietly with her.
The atmosphere is very harmonious. Even if you don't talk, you can feel relaxed and happy.
Until, a red dress appeared under the yellow light of the lighthouse and entered the two people's field of vision.
A long-haired woman wearing a red suspender dress was already standing in the river.
