Chapter 10 Osmanthus Forest (3)
"Uh, when I just opened it, I suddenly discovered that my mother's "personally" made love bento is full of all kinds of takeaway Sichuan dishes, and I feel desperate." Yu Xinye said, "There is nothing to do with her. This kind of "mother" expression, "I can only pass on the friendship to Xie Yayi and the others."

"You are really generous." Even the bento was given to the girl.

"Hahaha, the smell of vinegar is really strong!" Yu Xinye said with a smile.

"..."

御新冶看她脸色不好，突然像电视剧里的演员一样猛地垮下一张脸：“啊啊啊啊啊……如果你都不让我蹭饭我就真的要饿死了…… Cough cough cough cough..."

"..." The face-changing was really fast, and the pretending cough sounded so fake.

In the end, I really couldn't bear to see him coughing to death. Although she knew that half of it was faked, the girl's tone softened: "Okay, okay, don't pretend, I'll just give you half. But I usually don’t eat much, so I didn’t bring much, and the ones I brought were very simple…”

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't mind at all!" Yu Xinye immediately showed a sunny smile as if he was resurrected, and the smile was extremely sincere.

"You are really thick-skinned." Jiang Wei opened the lunch box. It was indeed a simple food, but it was not simple.Two golden poached eggs are stacked on the first layer, and on the second layer are two white and fat rice balls the size of a fist.

"You really don't eat much." He said in a very surprised tone.Yu Xinye raised his eyebrows in surprise, "It's really a huge contrast with those girls who eat like hell."

Jiang Wei took the backpack and looked for it: "Ah... If it's not enough, there are two breads and drinks." He took it out and handed him one of the bags wrapped in a plastic bag, "Here."

Two rice balls, one per person, are store-bought instant food wrapped in small slices of beef.Milk tea, snow and milk are also distributed according to personal preference.Although Jiang Wei has repeatedly emphasized that "fried eggs are too hot, it is not good for the throat", Yu Xinye still has the mentality of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water and said with a playful smile: "It's okay, you fried it yourself. How can you miss it with such good craftsmanship?" She couldn't help him, so she had to give him one.

"Why are they all double servings?" The boy held the upper layer of the lunch box with a thick paper towel underneath, and became serious again, "Could it be specially prepared for me?"

"..."

"Could it be... that it was actually intended for Zhao Mengfan?" Suddenly, he seemed to realize something.

"Yeah." But it seems that it is not necessary now.

"But she's not with you." He stood up and looked around for a while, and finally sat down again. "I saw her with Xie Yayi just now."

"You picked up a bargain." Jiang Wei didn't want to discuss this matter, so he turned his face away.

Yu Xinye chuckled and changed the subject: "It's still hot."

"Your hands are dirty! Don't touch them directly!" Jiang Wei's attention was obviously not on this issue.

"Then give me your chopsticks."

"Here, here you are." Jiang Wei stuffed him with chopsticks and took out a spoon from his backpack.

"There's still a spoon!" Yu Xinye hurriedly took it, his tone even more surprised, "Are you a robot cat?"

"That's why I told you not to grab it with your hands."

"What's 'catch'...it makes me sound like a monkey." Apparently Yu Xinye was very dissatisfied with the word "catch".

"The voice is so hoarse and you can't stop talking, why don't you eat!"

Yu Xinye gestured "Okay, okay, I got it" to indicate that he wanted to eat.

"Unconsciously talk more."When I found it again, it was also a thought that suddenly flashed in my heart.

Not just once, but many times.I have a cold personality at first, but every time I talk to Yu Xinye, I will unconsciously talk more, unexpectedly nagging like her mother.

Then she shook her head and laughed.

Sure enough, it was the contagion and influence that a person like him would have.

The aroma of the food is overflowing.

Yu Xinye held the half-layer lunch box, opened the rice ball with chopsticks, and ate it with poached eggs.It's not particularly delicious, but it's very fragrant and appetizing.After taking a few bites, he suddenly wanted to see Jiang Wei who was sitting next to him.He lowered his head nervously, only to find that the girl was concentrating on the food with her head lowered.She ate seriously, in stark contrast to herself who casually spread the rice balls and devoured them. She ate slowly and could almost be described as "elegant".

After thinking about it, he put down his chopsticks, his heart suddenly felt itchy, and he stroked her long hair tied behind her head with his free hand as if joking.

"What are you doing again?" She looked up.

"My hair has rubbed against the stone, I'm kind enough to smooth it out for you." He picked up the chopsticks again, and put them into the other half of the lunch box Jiang Wei was holding with a smile, "I don't have enough poached eggs."

"If you eat other people's food for free, don't go overboard." The girl opened his chopsticks, used a spoon to divide the poached egg that she had only bitten into two parts, and put the side that was not bitten into his bowl, "It's delicious, don't eat it." Moving around."

He couldn't help but want to tease her, and wanted to see how such a cold and withdrawn person like her would be when she got angry, so he did things that seemed to take an inch over and over again.Yu Xinye found that Jiang Wei was actually a little colder than ordinary people, and he could tell after getting along for a long time.She can also be sad, she can also become angry from embarrassment, and sometimes she has a bit of a poisonous tongue, everything is fine, but she is too stubborn.But she will not get angry, even if she becomes angry sometimes, she will still be good-tempered to accommodate others.

Emotions are well hidden, and she is rarely seen out of control.

Except for the last night when she shed tears at him on the street, it should be because the pressure at home is too great.

Thinking about a girl like Zhao Mengfan who has a bit of a temper, probably only Jiang Wei can bear her?
Her profile was reflected in her eyes.Think about it, Jiang Wei is actually a gentle and good-tempered person by nature, but his personality is too cold, which always makes people feel like she doesn't care about anything.

"I'll give you the ham in my bread." Yu Xinye jokingly touched her face with the unopened bread.

"You eat by yourself." Jiang Wei refused without hesitation.

"I feel sorry for eating your poached eggs."

As if wanting to save face, the girl's tone was a little loose: "How can you give it to me in the bread?"

"That's it." Suddenly wanting to tease her, Yu Xinye opened the plastic package wrapped around the bread, opened the bread a little, and revealed the ham sausage hidden inside, and handed it to her: "Just bite it down."

In the end, the farce ended with Jiang Wei rolling his eyes. Yu Xinye stuffed the bread into his mouth with a smile, and said with a vague smile: "Oh, don't be embarrassed, I gave it because of a disturbed conscience. Yours."

Jiang Wei ignored him and packed up the lunch box.

Yu Xinye scavenged two slices of cut fruit from other students, put one in his mouth, and handed the other to Jiang Wei.The two went to the public faucet to wash their hands. Yu Xinye mischievously threw the water on Jiang Wei's body, but Jiang Wei kicked him to the shin bone and grinned for a long time.

It can't be seen that she actually has a strong temper.

"Aren't you going to play with them?" Jiang Wei pointed to the still busy team in his class. How could such a lively and active place lack an active center like Yu Xinye.

Yu Xinye asked back, "Aren't you going?"

"I can't get along." I'm not interested either, I don't know how to get along with people other than Zhao Mengfan, Yu Xinye is an exception.

"Then I won't go either." The boy replied simply.

"Oh... up to you." It is probably because of the speechless reason of "seeing them lively and lively, I am so out of tune with a person with a broken voice, and it makes me sad to be out of tune".

She didn't get to the bottom of it.He may also be concerned about himself, although he is always not serious, he doesn't seem like a person who casually leaves girls alone.

After knowing each other for so many years, Zhao Mengfan has never cared about Jiang Wei's feelings like this, it seems that Jiang Wei is used to it.Now suddenly there is a person who is concerned about himself, and he is somewhat uncomfortable.

Yu Xinye quickly found a new topic: "Let's go, I'll take you to a place."

"Where are you going?" Jiang Wei asked, and then added, "Is there going to be any school activity later?"

"Hey, let's go, we'll know when we go." Yu Xinye turned around Jiang Wei's body involuntarily, put a hand on her shoulder naturally, and pushed her away without much effort, as if As if playing a game, "Anyway, the school will not leave this place for any activities organized by the school, and we won't lose track."

"What the hell are you doing?" With Yu Xinye's hand on his back, the hot body temperature stuck to his body through his clothes, and a moderate thrust forced Jiang Wei to follow suit.Yu Xinye didn't seem to hear it, but she didn't let go of her hand, just pushing her forward.

Passing through the noisy crowd, a few students from other classes walked past in front of them. When they saw the two of them, they all gave Yu Xinye winked and smiled strangely.

A little embarrassed, but Yu Xinye didn't seem to care.

Who said no?After a short walk, out of the school organization, she was led into a large forest.

What are you doing in the woods?Such a thought flashed through for a moment, and Jiang Wei suddenly became nervous, and laughed at himself for being too sensitive.

too sensitive.

After walking a short distance in the woods, Yu Xinye suddenly turned around and disappeared, leaving only one sentence: "Wait a minute." Jiang Wei stood there inexplicably, not knowing what he wanted do something.

Not far away came the rustling of branches shaking.

Some uneasiness was surging in my heart.Jiang Wei stepped on the grass, kept looking at the place where Yu Xinye disappeared, and hurriedly urged: "What are you doing? Come out!"

The rustle of shaking branches grew louder.

After a while, Yu Xinye poked his head out from behind a certain tree, waved to Jiang Wei, and signaled her to go over.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Having said that, Jiang Wei still stepped on the thick fallen leaves and grass on the ground and walked over.The white canvas shoes stepped on the ground, and the feet felt the uneven road and stones on the ground through the rubber soles.

Already smelled it.

Probably guessed something.

It is an increasingly intense scent of osmanthus, and the aroma molecules are constantly moving in the surrounding air, spreading a rich and sweet taste.

As soon as he walked over, Jiang Wei was led by a hand hook that suddenly protruded.She was taken a few steps forward abruptly, her hair caught on a branch of a short tree beside her.

Just as Jiang Wei was about to speak, Yu Xinye had already plucked off her hair that was caught, and then nodded her chin anxiously, motioning her to look up: "Look!"

She raised her head in confusion, her throat suddenly seemed to be stuck, and she couldn't make any sound.

calmed down.

Laurel flowers all over the sky.

Small, white flowers dotted among large green leaves.

Like the dazzling stars growing out of thin air.

The irregularly planted sweet-scented osmanthus trees look uneven, but the dense branches and leaves are stretched together, forming an almost opaque sky.Only when the breeze blows and shakes the branches, the light will pour down from the gaps in the thick branches and leaves.

Yu Xinye jumped up and reached a shorter branch, brought down some green leaves and a few petals, swaying and falling in mid-air.

Jiang Wei spread his five fingers, and a small piece of delicate petal fell gently on his hand.

The wind, the quiet wind, gently kissed the face.

The fluttering petals left the branches with the shaking of Yu Xinye and fluttered down.

The sweet osmanthus fragrance greedily drilled into the nasal cavity.

The dappled sunlight falling from the gaps between the leaves fell on the five fingertips.

Something, at this moment, seemed to change suddenly.

"Osmanthus fragrans? It turns out that autumn is here." Jiang Wei heard his own voice murmuring in his ears.

Yu Xinye smiled softly. "It's Yingui."

"Ah."

Jiang Wei wanted to imitate his movements to reach the branches, but thought he couldn't jump high enough, so he had to give up.Yu Xinye stretched out a hand, just to catch a small whole sweet-scented osmanthus flower, rubbed it playfully in the palm of his hand repeatedly, and then spread it out, every finger was stained with the flower juice, and then waved his hand towards the river. Wei laughs.

Unconsciously softened eyes, in the compelling sweet breath, swirling fallen leaves and petals, with warm wind, blowing ripples in the heart.Everything is as unreal as in a dream.

The branches are mottled, and the mild warm light of early autumn spills from among the leaves.

Jiang Wei raised his head to look, and found that Yu Xinye had suddenly stopped moving. He turned his head to look at him, but saw that he was holding his mobile phone to him.After realizing what the other party was doing, she just wanted to stop it with a conditioned reflex, but was interrupted by him first: "Hey, don't move!"

"What are you doing?" Jiang Wei really froze his movements subconsciously, extremely nervous.

"Don't move, let me take a picture. It's rare to come out to play, such a good background." It seemed to be choosing an angle, and stopped after a while, "Don't stay still, just laugh."

"Don't shoot!" It seemed to be bargaining.

Yu Xinye pouted, put down his phone and walked over, looking unwilling.Jiang Wei originally thought that he was not going to take any more pictures, but just as he was about to say "Let's go", Yu Xinye suddenly gave a smirk, and quickly raised his left hand holding the phone high.When the girl reacted again, it was already after the click.

"Yu Xinye!"

I can’t say how long I haven’t taken a photo. It seems that I took a set of ID photos a while ago to post the membership card, and I didn’t deliberately take photos after that.The self on the certificate is always unintentionally uglified, with pale face and lips, expressionless, and was once described as "like someone dead in the family".

but……

In the boy's mobile phone, the self that was forever preserved in the image stared at him as if he had been frightened, but his expression was vivid, and could even be described as "cute" .And Yu Xinye, who was standing beside him at an ambiguous distance, was wearing a snow-white shirt, with a smirk on his face at the moment of success, and his dark pupils looked very bright and deep due to the angle of light.

This is a photo of the upper body of two people, with a large expanse of sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the background.

A picture that is forever etched in the phone's image.

Is that really me?

After returning to the team, Yu Xinye, who was still being asked by Jiang Wei, "Have you deleted it?" finally spread his phone helplessly: "Here, do you want to check?"

"Who knows if you will use other things to fool me." It doesn't matter if you think about it, or forget it, isn't it just a photo, and it's no big deal.

I stayed in the sweet-scented osmanthus forest for a long time, and when I returned to the team, the activities organized by the school were coming to an end.Jiang Wei and Yu Xinye returned to their respective positions and stood up. After a while, they heard Yu Xinye laughing with other girls. Jiang Wei thought, he really can hook up.

But thinking about it, I couldn't help raising the corner of my mouth.

On the way back to school, Zhao Mengfan asked her: "Where did you go? Why didn't I find you?"

Find me?

It turns out that you still knew to look for me, I thought you had forgotten my name.

"Oh." But she just responded lightly, which was in line with her usual style, "Be with others."

"Who is it?" Zhao Mengfan was still chasing after him, and then added as if he had suddenly realized, "Is it Yu Xinye? Someone said they saw you sitting together eating."

But Jiang Wei, who was asked the question, turned his face sideways, without much expression, and did not intend to answer, but moved his steps slowly following the progress of the team.

There is already some gap, like the white fog on the river, separating us.
