Xu Sui handed over the Band-Aid. Zhou Jingze took it in his pocket and looked at her, "Have you eaten yet?"
"No." Xu Sui was a little stunned and subconsciously said these two words.
Zhou Jingze nodded and his voice was hoarse: "Then eat with me."
"Ah, okay." Xu Suiying said, and at the same time, he silently said three sorrys to Hu Xixi in his heart.
Zhou Jingze walked forward with a pocket in his pocket. Xu Sui noticed that his tail finger was hooked with a white plastic bag, faintly full of medicinal wine. Zhou Jingze took a few steps forward. Seeing that no one followed, he stopped and looked back at her.
Xu Sui immediately followed. She was eager to ask "Is the injury serious" or something, but his pressure was relatively low tonight, and what position did she take to ask? Thinking of this, I swallowed it again.
The two brought them to a dumpling shop, which was about to close. The landlady stood in front of the pot and yawned. The steam smoked her eyes red all night.
"Xiao Zhou, are you here?" The landlady greeted with a smile.
"Yes, how's business today?" Zhou Jingze asked.
The landlady rubbed her eyes and said, "It's good today. When it's cold, there are more takeaway orders, and I'm still a little too busy." Zhou Jingze inserted his pocket with one hand and said with a smile, "Thank you've worked hard."
Zhou Jingze raised his hand and pointed to not far away and asked her to sit down. Xu Sui sat down, pulled out a tissue to wipe the table, and then looked over.
Zhou Jingze stood there and said to the landlady, "Two bowls of dumplings."
After clicking, Zhou Jingze sat on her skeletal hand on the opposite side and gently buckled the table. I don't know what she was thinking. He was not a talkative person in the first place. Xu Sui was not very good at talking, and the embarrassment spread among the two.
The landlady brought two bowls of steaming dumplings, and then put two tea eggs on a bone dish and sent them to the table. Her voice was refreshing: "It's going to close. I'll give it to you."
"Thank you." Zhou Jingze speaks politely.
A bowl of dumplings was served in front of Xu Sui. She took a small bottle of seasonings and poured a lot of vinegar into it as if it were free of charge. Zhou Jingze raised his eyebrows in sight: "So sour?"
"Tune the taste." Xu Sui explained.
"You can have a try," Xu Sui said with a smile, "but just add a little."
After all, she is not an ordinary way of eating, and ordinary people's stomach can't stand it. Zhou Jingze added a little vinegar to her suggestion. Sure enough, he had a better appetite.
The two sat face to face and ate together. Xu Sui saw that he was in a bad mood and tried his best to search for jokes and some memes she had seen online.
"Take a few questions for you," Xu Sui looked at him with his eyes open, in a serious tone. "Why did the frog lose to the dog in the swimming competition?"
Zhou Jingze:?
"Because frogs foul with breaststroke."
Zhou Jing pulled the corners of his mouth. Xu Sui was not discouraged and continued to ask, "Why can Xiao Wang whistle leisurely at the same time while brushing his dentures?"
Zhou Jingze:?
The pear vortex on Xu Sui's cheek appeared: "Because he brushed dentures!"
...
Zhou Jingze finished paying the bill and walked out of the store. The people on the snack street had already disappeared. He stepped forward with his pocket. Xu Sui lowered his head and kept wondering which link was wrong? It's obviously funny.
Xu Sui thought of something and chased Jingze on the shoulder last week: "In that case, I must show my must-kill skills."
"What?" Zhou Jingze turned around.
Xu Sui was wearing a sweatshirt today. She didn't know when she put on her hat, shrank her arms in her sleeves, opened her eyes wide, and pulled her lower eyelids with her fingers to make a grimace at him.
But her eyes are big and clean, and she is wearing a white sweatshirt, which has no deterrent effect.
The breasts are fierce and cute.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Jingze raised his eyebrows.
"I'M PLAYING A GHOST, NOT LIKE?" Xu Sui's eyes were blank.
"What the hell?"
"Happy ghost." Xu Sui answered.
This answer made Zhou Jingze couldn't help laughing. His chest trembled and his breath couldn't stop, revealing the first real smile tonight, not the kind that mechanically pulled the corners of his mouth.
Xu Sui tried her best to pull her arm off her clothes. She seemed to say to herself, "You finally laughed."
He is finally happy.
Xu Sui and Zhou Jingze walked back to school quickly, went back to the dormitory and opened the door. 1017 ran out and got under her feet. Xu Sui didn't have time to talk to the orange cat and opened his mouth to Hu Xixi, who was lying in bed. "Xixi is sorry, there is something delayed."
"It's okay. Thank you for your hard work."
Xu Sui took a shower, took out his mobile phone after going to bed, and found that he had received a text message.
From zjz: [Thank you tonight.]
Xu Sui edited "You're welcome" in the dialog box and thought it was too official. He deleted it and resend it: [It's okay. Have you arrived?"]
The screen of the mobile phone in my hand lit up again after two minutes. zjz: [Here comes, I just took a shower.]
Xu Sui raised the corners of his mouth and replied cautiously: [Good night.]
Xu Sui slept well all night. Compared with her good mood, Hu Xixi has not been in a good mood recently. Sheng Nanzhou called several times, but none of them were ignored by her.
He sent snacks several times, but it was in vain. They were all rejected by Hu Xixi.
When Xu Sui and Hu Xixi went out-of-campus to buy milk tea together, she tentatively asked her if she was not preparing for the original Liangsheng Nanzhou. The eldest lady replied, "I don't forgive me if I'm killing him. He went too far this time."]
Sheng Nanzhou usually runs Hu Xixi a lot. This time, he knows that he is really a little too far, but Hu Xixi doesn't answer his phone and no one can see him, so he begged Zhou Jingze to borrow the name of inviting everyone to dinner. Ask Xu Sui to bring Hu Xixi out and apologize to him to his face.
Zhou Jingze agreed and kicked him by the way: "I usually tell you to bully her less."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, no--Uncle, I'm wrong." Sheng Nanzhou knelt down.
Zhou Jingze sat in the chair and leaned out of the mobile phone on the table to send Xu Sui a message to teach her to deceive.
When Hu Xixi heard Xu Sui say that Zhou Jingze won a flight competition and won a bonus to invite everyone to dinner, he was skeptical: "I'm just a freshman. What's the point of flying!"
"Helicopter flight, isn't he... having private photos?" Xu Sui was speech-sense for a while. Fortunately, he thought of a reason at the last minute.
"Okay, Sheng Nanzhou won't come." Hu Sisi is trimming her fingernails.
Xu Sui followed Zhou Jingze taught her that she would not believe it until she looked into Xixi's eyes to lie one by one, so she forced herself to look directly at the eldest lady and said calmly, "No, no."
Hu Sisi finally agreed to go to dinner.
On Wednesday evening, Xu Sui and Hu Xixi came to a European hotel in the city according to the address given by Zhou Jingze. As soon as they entered the door, they greeted them with a red tie waiter and led them to swipe their cards and take the elevator. They all the way to the 23rd floor.
The elevator door opened, the complicated pattern of hand-imported carpet was straight under the feet, and the glass warm light was suspended in the middle. Xu accompanied Hu Xixi and walked forward. She looked at the people coming and leaving around her. Their clothes showed nobleness and goodness.
She suddenly sighed in her heart that Zhou Jingze was really well-off and excellent, and the gap between her and him was also real.
The two came to the 2309 box number. Hu Xixi pushed the door in and saw a mousse cake she liked in the middle of the table, as well as Sheng Nanzhou, where she wanted to punch.
Hu Xixi realized and subconsciously wanted to scuffle Xu Sui and shouted, "Okay, Xu Sui, you have learned to cheat."
"I--" Xu Sui wanted to hide and subconsciously ran behind Zhou Jingze.
Zhou Jingze's eyes were forbidden, and he might as well say coldly, "I taught you."
"Okay," Zhou Jingze put his hands in his pockets, and then turned his head to Xu Sui behind him. "Fcompany me down to buy a pack of cigarettes."
Zhou Jingze meant to leave space for two people. Xu Sui understood and followed him downstairs.
The two came to the convenience store downstairs. Zhou Jingze went in and bought a pack of cigarettes. When checking out at the front desk, Xu Sui shouted disappointingly.
"39.8." The waiter in an orange vest said.
Zhou Jingze moved to pay, glanced at the slightly red tip of his ear, and smiled lazily, "Give her a Kanto boil."
Xu Sui stood still about to wave his hand to refuse. Zhou Jingze turned around and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and bit it in his mouth. The receiver made a "slap". At the same time, when he passed her, a low voice shook in his ear.
"You can order whatever you want, kid."
Zhou Jingze went out to smoke. Xu Sui sat in the bar of the convenience store and ate Kanto boiled. She ordered two strings of balls, a string of kelp, a ham, and other snacks, and sat there to finish it.
While eating, he secretly looked at the man smoking not far from the glass window.
After Xu Sui finished eating, Zhou Jingze raised his hand to let her out. When Xu Sui walked to him, he stepped out the cigarette butt in time and glanced at the time:
"Almost it. Go up."
The two took the elevator upstairs again. Coincidentally, they were the only two in the elevator. Xu Sui stood a little bit in front of him. Zhou Jingze stood at hand. He leaned against the wall, leaned his head on it, and his throat knots rolled slowly up and down, inexplicably seductive.
"Do you think they will make peace?" Xu Sui asked.
The elevator display screen showed on the 11th floor. Zhou Jingze was about to open his mouth to answer, and the elevator shook violently in a vibrating manner.
Then, with a "slap", the elevator light went out, and it was too dark inside. Darkness magnifies people's fears and strangeness bit by bit.
Unexpectedly, they encountered the once-in-a-lifelife elevator failure. Xu Sui was a little flustered. She subconsciously turned around, but she couldn't see where Zhou Jingze was.
"Zhou Jingze?"
Xu Sui only called twice. After hearing the answer, she tried her best to maintain her panic and immediately rang the phone alarm. There was a response from the electric alarm phone. Xu Sui opened his mouth and found that his voice was a little trembling:
"Hello, this is an elevator malfunction. Please send someone here as soon as possible."
"Hello, can you tell me the specific location?" The repairman asked.
"11th floor of Building F," Xu Suisheng tried to calm down, as if he thought of something. "Please come here quickly."
After talking, Xu Sui went behind the elevator in the dark. She took her mobile phone with a screen signal and a power of 3. Xu Sui looked at it with the little light of the screen.
I found that Zhou Jingze sat in the corner somehow. He closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembled, and there was a bean-sized sweat on his forehead.
Xu Suixin tightened, squatted in front of him, pushed his arm: "Zhou Jingze."
Zhou Jingze opened his eyes with great effort, looked at her and leaned against the wall again. He felt like a sponge that kept falling in the sea, powerless and afraid.
He remembered the wet attic. The dark spider crawled around and felt suffocating, as if his neck had been strangled and breathing an inch. He struggled to escape and found that everything was in vain.
Xu Sui squatted aside and saw Zhou Jingze breathless. His chest fluctuated violently, and the sweat on his forehead was wet with his dark eyelashes, and his face was pale.
When she was in the same class with Zhou Jingze in high school, she heard that he had claustrophobia. She thought it was a joke, but it turned out to be true.
Seeing that Zhou Jingze was so uncomfortable, a trace of heartache spread in the bottom of her heart. Xu Sui's heart was pulled together. It was not the previous admiration, but what she really wanted to do to relieve his current pain.
If possible, she wants to endure these pains in his place.
Xu Sui hesitated for a moment, gently grabbed his wrist, and said, "Don't be afraid."
Zhou Jingze closed his eyes tightly and felt that he had fallen into the boundless darkness, like a container sinking into the deep sea, sealing the surroundings, allowing the sea to seep in, drowning his throat, mouth, nose and little by little.
In the dark, someone grabbed his wrist and warmed it bit by bit, like feathers and sunshine. He clearly heard a gentle voice that kept repeating:
"Don't be afraid."
Zhou Jingze struggled to open his eyelids, and a soft cheek appeared in front of him. His face was reflected in his dark and clean pupils, like catching driftwood in the dark.
He followed the hand, and then slowly moved down. The broad palms of his hand pressed against each other's blood vessels, rubbing the soft palms with thick cocoons, and the palms of his hands were linked in an instant.
