Chapter 29 Extra Story: Indus Rain (1)
[one]
In the midsummer of September, cicadas chirped all over the place, and the surrounding air was dry and sultry.The cicadas chirping one after another, like a harsh noise, seemed extraordinarily loud in the silence.

It was too hot.

Xia Zhize squatted under the shade of a tree on the side of the street, holding half of a branch he picked up casually and drawing on the ground one after another.

The boring waiting process.

His fingers were smeared with dust, and the nails were also clogged with dust.The girl took out her mobile phone indifferently, glanced anxiously at the time, and the white Tuzki pendant tied to the mobile phone swayed accordingly.

14:49.Before coming out, clearly and clearly made an appointment to "meet at the old place at 14:30".

He raised his head and squinted to see the bustling crowd passing by in front of him, but the person he was waiting for still did not appear.

The classmate behind him suddenly patted Xia Zhize with his hand, and complained: "Why hasn't Qi Xian come yet? Today is his birthday, how can he be late? Shouldn't you come out with him?"

Xia Zhize stopped looking at the phone, was stunned for a while, and then said dully: "I didn't come out with him, he went to pick up Jiang Wei."

The Tuzki pendant hanging on the mobile phone was a pair when I first bought it, one black and one white.

The white one has been hanging steadily on Xia Zhize's cell phone, while the black one has been forced to hang on Qi Xian's shoulder bag.

Even though the boy protested dissatisfiedly many times: "Hey, I'm a boy, how can I hang such a sissy thing!" But in the end, the girl who is a "childhood sweetheart" said "I bought this and you have to hang it" as an excuse forced to accept.

"I really don't know why there is a childhood sweetheart like you." This is the reflection of Qi Xian who finally compromised and tied the pendant on the schoolbag.

"Because you owed me in your previous life." After succeeding, the girl looked at her masterpiece proudly, but in exchange for the boy's helpless and headache expression.

It is said that "childhood sweethearts" are just legends, most of the children who grew up together were bullied by one side, Xia Zhize and Qi Xian were indeed like this before they were 14 years old.

The two families have been neighbors for many years, so Xia Zhize and Qi Xian know each other's details clearly.The two started fighting as soon as they met, but it often ended with Qi Xian being "forced" to be beaten up.

Before the age of 15, Qi Xian couldn't figure out why the "overly enthusiastic", "brainless", "unbelievable" and "always oppressing himself" silly neighbors in front of him caught the eyes of other boys In this scene, it actually turned into an image of "special temperament", "cold and arrogant", and "smart" that could never appear in front of him.

What kind of sorcery did that brainless guy use to confuse those poor innocent boys!

If he knew from the very beginning that this silly neighbor was definitely a "scourge", Qi Xian would definitely oppose the decision of the two parents to let them go to the same kindergarten, the same elementary school, or even the same junior high school.

But what Qi Xian also can't understand is why he has lived peacefully with such a "childhood sweetheart" under the same roof for 15 years, and since he was 14 years old, he has become more and more accommodating to her, and he is still willing to serve her in the cold winter and summer. How about she buying ice cream, bread, lollipops, things that people with legs can buy by themselves?

Maybe it's because I was born with a kind heart, that's why I indulged her Martian temper like this.

However, such "bad luck" did not stop because the two went to two different high schools.

[three]
After the age of 15, Qi Xian is a very talented student with artistic talents, and he is also the object of many girls' admiration, but he is also a bad boy who makes the teacher a headache.But no matter what, the center of his life always revolves around that girl named "Xia Zhize" who lives in another school far away.He had to transfer schools because of fights with people from other schools, and he has transferred three times so far.

However, every time people gather to fight, it is because of Xia Zhize.

Let's talk about Xia Zhize.

Before the age of 15, Xia Zhize was still a little girl in a daze, and was said to be "brainless" and "stupid".However, after the age of 15——

"Oh, you're talking about Xia Zhize from the first class..." When someone asked about her, the answerer's ending sound was always meaningful and ambiguous, "I don't know too well, I just met her a few times. Second, she is tall and thin, with legs that look like bamboo poles. Short hair, that kind of very feminine Sassoon. It seems that she has lying silkworm eyes... She looks good, but her reputation is not very good .”

Even though they are all heard, they can always combine the speculative news with their own imaginations to make it vivid, as vivid as what they have seen with their own eyes. "The boys around her change every day. I heard that she even has her best friend's boyfriend."

"Really?" The person who asked the question was always excited and suspicious when they heard similar answers, "But doesn't she have no friends? I saw her alone in school a few times."

"Who knows, there are always friends, right?"

"You mean my family, Xia Zhize?" Zhize's mother always had a nonchalant expression when she answered, "Isn't that good at studying? Just barely. He has a bad temper and yells around at home all day long. I don’t concentrate on my studies, I spend all day playing button... button..." When she said this, she suddenly got stuck on a pronunciation, and the movement of making dumplings in her hand stopped with her frowning eyebrows. "What's the reason? Anyway, I just put on some ghostly makeup all day long, and wear some nonsense clothes to take pictures. I'm not serious."

Fortunately, a diner who looked like a student added a sentence when he took away his share of dumplings: "Is it 'Cosplay'?"

"Oh, yes, yes." Only then did Zhize's mother relax her brows, "That's it. Tell me, a teenage girl doesn't study hard and spends all her time on such messy things. What's the use of being fancy-dressed and looking like a ghost? Can I get money? Then she won't be admitted to university, and she won't have a place to cry. Fortunately, she knows how to restrain herself now, and doesn't play much anymore."

"You can't say that. It's useless for a girl to study too well. Don't you have an eldest daughter who is already working as an adult?" The familiar female diner followed her words.

"Hey, you mean my Xia Yaxuan? She's over 20, and she's moved out. Her father and I have a lot of peace of mind, much more reassuring than the second daughter." This time, Zhi Ze's mother's tone softened. No, she turned her head and shouted, "Who's beef noodles are ready!"

If it were a boy from her childhood sweetheart who answered—in short, no matter what she became, she would always say the same thing: "She's just a fool."

No matter what kind of language and tone Xia Zhize is described by others, in fact, the key words surrounding her still cannot escape cosplay, playthings, and rebellion.It is understandable that the bad reviews are not good. According to her 15-year-old latecomer who does not refuse and pursues perfection too much, all kinds of suspicions and reviews outside will naturally become malicious.

It's just that perfect boys are too hard to find, and not-so-perfect boys always make up the majority.

For example, You Ye, who Xia Zhize is currently dating.

"Your wild 'sister' prepared a supper for you."

Seeing Xia Zhize walk into the classroom, the girl at the same table winked at her.Xia Zhize followed her fingers to look over, and there was a delicate paper box that looked awkward on his messy desktop.

"What?" Xia Zhize frowned, and picked up the note that was pressed under the box.The ugly boy's handwriting on the paper was stretched out: I want to go home with you tonight!
The inscription is Ono.And Ono!

Xia Zhize looked at the face of the girl at the same table laughing until her facial features were dislocated, and resentfully crumpled the note up and threw it on the ground, "Pooh".Opening the box, there were two pieces of tiramisu that were deformed by the careless boys.

"Do you want to eat?" Xia Zhize raised his head and squinted at his tablemate who was laughing like hell.

"Hahahaha... Is this okay? After all, this is also a piece of 'love' from your Youye's sister... Hahaha!"

"'Love's Heart'? I almost threw up. I don't know why I was with him in the first place."

Why did you want to be with him in the first place?
Qi Xian asked a similar question when he just sent her to school for evening self-study.

"When do you plan to divide this time?" the boy turned around and asked while riding a bicycle.

Xia Zhize was sitting on the back seat of the boy's bicycle, his hair curled up by the wind: "I don't know now, it probably won't last more than seven days."

"What's the man's name... I can't even remember."

"You Ye."

As childhood sweethearts, they have already figured out the details of each other.Just like when Xia Zhize had menarche at the age of 11, Qi Xian was the first person to know about it, not her mother.Qi Xian also knew that this boy named "You Ye" who only met him once would never stay with Xia Zhize for more than two weeks.

"Another pink boy's heart was ruthlessly crushed by you."

"Small your head! I hate men who are tough on the outside and weak on the inside like a puddle of water. You think he is not bad looking. If his figure is thinner and thinner, what will he do? I can bear Xiaojiabiyu's resentful appearance like Lin Daiyu's. But he doesn't belong to that category, and when I'm with him, I can't tell who is the 'female' at all."

"Haha, is it that serious?"

"What do you say?"

"Well, even you can't stand it, I can probably guess what it's like." Speaking of which, I've already arrived at school.Qi Xian stopped the bicycle, propped his long legs on the ground, and maintained the balance of the bicycle, "Here we are, let's go to class."

"Aren't you going back to your school for evening self-study?" The girl jumped off the back seat of the bicycle, patted her skirt and asked.

"No. Skip class tonight, there is a painting class to attend." The boy shook his head habitually, and then returned to the original topic, "It's not interesting if you keep changing like this, why don't you find a fixed point of?"

"Tch! How many boys do you think I can catch my eye in this world? I keep changing, just to find a regular one." Xia Zhize let out an extremely disdainful laugh.

The boy glanced at her, and suddenly sighed: "I really don't know whether it's right or wrong to change you from a little girl who doesn't understand anything to the current glamorous person."

Xia Zhize turned her head away: "This is my business, don't worry about it."

[Four]
When Qi Xian transferred to Xia Zhize's school for the fourth and last time.Before that, Qi Xian's mother twisted his ears and warned: "You brat, stop fighting and causing trouble for me when you arrive at the new school!"

A few days before the transfer, Qi Xian went home with Xia Zhize after school, the girl sat on the back seat of the bicycle as usual, when Qi Xian pushed the bicycle through the crowd, he had to beware of that stubborn The idiot who insisted on sitting in the back seat and letting himself push her away would suddenly fall off.

The girl sat sideways on the back seat of the bicycle, holding the corner of the boy's clothes unsteadily with one hand to keep her balance, squinting and looking not far ahead.

Count forward, one two three four five six seven.

Standing sideways at the door of the eighth shop was a black-haired girl with black waist-length hair and bangs, a white shirt and black pleated skirt, a cold expression, and slightly melancholy eyes.

Point your finger along the line of sight: "Is that the girl?"

"Yeah." Qi Xian, who was pushing the cart, nodded, and the small part of the face turned sideways couldn't see the expression clearly under the blurred light.

"Is it an art student in the first year of high school?"

"Well, the one who draws together is called Jiang Wei."

Ok.

New girlfriend.

"Don't worry, I won't sue your mother." A sentence choked out after searching for a long time.

After the boy said "thank you" lightly, he suddenly felt very empty, as if something he possessed was suddenly snatched away by someone else, so that he was silent for a long time because he had nothing to say , Qi Xian also continued to push the car forward as if he didn't notice anything weird.

I never understood why love is always greater than friendship. Xia Zhize, who had been silent all the way, suddenly asked, "If Jiang Wei and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"

The problem of soil to dregs can tell the weight and position of the two people in one sentence.

After asking this question, Xia Zhize obviously felt the boy's movement of riding a bicycle stop: "It's such a boring question again."

Bored?
Maybe.

Xia Zhize gave a wry smile helplessly, and flung out a sentence: "I just want to make sure that there is really a place for 'childhood sweetheart' in front of love."

"What's the matter? I'm worried that my best friend won't care about you after I have a wife?"

Maybe.

Maybe it was because I was too worried that my position as "childhood sweetheart" and "unique best friend" in the hearts of boys would be shaken, so I couldn't wait to confirm it, and then I had feelings for this girl who suddenly appeared and would "divide" the weight of boys' hearts with me. Inexplicable hostility.

"Well..." The face against the other person's back trembled slightly with the boy's pronunciation, and the affirmative tone came back from the wind, "Of course I will save her first."

The two pieces of cakes sent by You Ye, who is currently boyfriend and has only been dating for four days, were quickly divided up by the two girls, but Xia Zhize wrinkled as soon as he took the first bite Eyebrow: "What's the smell?"

The girl at the same table who also took the first bite also had a weird expression: "Why is it so bitter?"

Xia Zhize glanced at the dark cake in his hand, the layer of jet-black powder should be chocolate powder, but for some reason it became extremely bitter.She put the cake back in the carton.

"What are you doing?" asked the deskmate.

"Throw it away." After speaking, he raised the box in his hand, "Do you want to throw it away?"

"It's too wasteful. I'd better finish it." The tablemate blinked "tsk tsk", "Your Ono will be very sad if he finds out."

Xia Zhize made a retching expression at her.

Although chocolate has always been Xia Zhize's favorite, boys who are as soft and sticky as chocolate are obviously off-putting.

"What's more, a... um, how should I put it? Is it a hunchback? In short, he is the kind of boy who is not slender at all but has a slender glass heart. He always raises a round buttocks, speaks coyly, He still screams, covers his mouth when he laughs, gets into trouble with you for no reason, and says 'I'll bring you breakfast every day from now on'. If he suddenly gets upset, you'll be starving again for no reason Morning. Do you think he is sick? But I don’t care for a few rotten biscuits and a few rotten apples he brought from home, and it’s not that I can’t afford biscuits.”
