21, Chapter 21(1/2)
Zhou Li's complexity disappeared, leaving only a sense of guilt that surged from the bottom of his heart.
She went home and opened the bag that Chen Yanxian gave her. There were two furry little yellow chickens lying inside. They were the one she wanted to pick up one of them by Chen Yanxian before.
Zhou Li took out the two little chickens and placed them straight at the head of the bed. After looking at them for a while, he couldn't help but touch the soft fluff of the little yellow chicken with his hands.
On the Spring Festival, Chen Yanxian asked her to come out to meet her. The two went to the bookstore. Chen Yanxian wanted to buy some professional books, and Zhou Li came to collect comics.
The Zhou family continues the tradition of wearing new clothes in the New Year and having New Year's Eve dinner together at night. Therefore, Zhou Li was asked by Zhou's mother to change into new clothes when she woke up early in the morning.
A big red short cotton jacket.
It is in Chinese style, with narrow sleeves on the top and wide on the bottom, and two tassels falling next to the hat.
Others may look a little exaggerated when wearing it, but Zhou Li happens to have white skin, black eyes, and a face as big as a palm, which is smart and beautiful. Before leaving, Zhou's mother tied her a high ponytail, just like a playful and chivalrous lady in ancient times.
Zhou Li looked in the mirror and was very satisfied with herself. On the bus, she met two young ladies asking her about the links of her clothes. Who knew that when she saw Chen Yanxian, she jumped over, and her ponytail swayed and shook her movements, and she had not had time to speak-
He glanced at her, lowered his head and rubbed his nose, his voice vaguely, "You're dressed like this..."
"Does it look good?"
"It looks like a Fuwa."
“………”
The two voices sounded almost at the same time, and Zhou Li was speechless and stared at him angry, "You are Fuwa! I see that your head is round now, just like Fuwa!"
"Where is my head round?"
"Preface is born from the heart!"
"?"
"You are not very smart now and look particularly round-headed!"
“………”
The two of them walked towards the bookstore while quarreling. The awkwardness that had been a while ago was not there, and they were too familiar with each other. Zhou Li thought that even if something big happened between them one day, he would probably meet again and he would still be Chen Yanxian in front of her.
Not many people came to the bookstore that day. Zhou Li followed him to choose books for a while. Chen Yanxian focused on reading. She looked at the pile of computer professional words on the cover that she couldn't understand, and she was dizzy and gave up.
When Chen Yanxian chose to come to find Zhou Li, she was lying comfortably on the soft sofa of the book bar, holding a comic in her hand and reading it with relish. Even he didn't notice it even when he walked in front of him.
Chen Yanxian stood beside her and reached out to pull her ponytail.
"Go away."
"So fast?" Zhou Li was still unsatisfied and looked at the comic book and felt reluctant to leave.
"Like it?" Chen Yanxian lowered his eyes and looked at the book in her hand. Zhou Li nodded, "It's pretty good. I just saw the exciting part."
"Then just buy it back." He pulled out the book from her, put it with his own, and went straight to the cashier to check out.
Zhou Li quickly got up and followed him happily.
Walking out the door, fresh air mixed with cold wind came, Chen Yanxian handed her the comic book, Zhou Li held it carefully, following him and kept flattering.
"Chen Yanxian, you are so generous today."
"You look very handsome when you pay."
"I never found you so attractive."
Chen Yan snorted and smiled, glanced at her, "That's the point of success?"
"ah?"
"Just a comic book, it's just a comic book that turns you into this?" He glanced at him casually, and continued with a slight ridicule.
"What if I buy you a house and a car in the future, what do you do?"
"Please agree with your body?"
"......" Zhou Li was stunned for a few seconds, a little unbelievable.
"Will you buy me a house and a car?"
"It's not impossible." Chen Yanxian's hand-written pocket, raised his chin slightly, full of coldness and pride.
Zhou Li swallowed his saliva when she heard this, raised her face and looked sincere, "Then I can call you dad."
"......" Chen Yanxian made herself angry and glared at her.
"Zhou Li, I didn't even realize that you were a person who recognized your father when you met others???"
"It's not like you recognize me when you meet someone." Zhou Li said honestly.
"I just think you don't take advantage of it, and I won't lose money by calling you Dad."
"..." Chen Yanxian was speechless by her reason for a moment. When she heard it absurdly at first, she thought it made sense. She felt it was a bit unreasonable for a few seconds. Finally, she waved her hand hard.
"Okay, I don't want to talk to you anymore."
“…”
The two took the bus back. There was a large commercial area near this stop. There were many people on the bus. There were no seats when they got on. Chen Yanxian and Zhou Li squeezed into the middle, and one hand hooked the upper hanging ring.
Others are tall, with wide shoulders and straight backs. Despite the crowds around and the car body swaying, Chen Yanxian still stood up straight and was not affected at all.
It is completely different from Zhou Li who survived in the crowd with the seats in the cracks.
After a stop, the car stopped and a new wave of passengers surged up. The already crowded carriage became more blocked. Zhou Li was pushed by the people behind and couldn't help but walk forward. His hands were gone. He was trying to struggle and struggle to grab the ring. Chen Yanxian reached out and put her wrist on his arm.
"Catch me." The voice was short and low, and it was inexplicably full of security.
"Oh..." Zhou Li tightened his fingers and grabbed his clothes. After a few seconds, the traffic light in front suddenly stopped and another shaking. Her body hit Chen Yanxian's chest.
Zhou Li heard a very light "dong", as if something was being put down. Then he gently wrapped his hand around her shoulder, helping Zhou Li stabilize her body, and separating the surrounding people.
"Be careful." As if helpless, Chen Yanxian sighed in his words and looked down at her.
"Did it hurt?" He stared at her forehead and looked at her. Zhou Li grabbed his arm tightly, then covered his forehead with his other hand and rubbed it.
"It doesn't hurt very much." She frowned.
"Let me see." He was caught off guard and lowered his head, his face was clearly enlarged, Zhou Li's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated a little, and his breathing became slower.
"It seems a little red, please grab me." Chen Yanxian finally concluded and finally straightened up. Zhou Li felt the suffocation squeezing disappear, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"good."
The bus shuttled slowly through the city. The scenery on both sides was blocked by the walls. The air was a little stuffy, and the soap powder smelled particularly good from the people in front of him. Zhou Li unconsciously approached Chen Yanxian a little closer, and the tip of his nose was about to reach the sweater fabric on his chest.
The gray wool looks soft and has the urge to rub it on it.
Zhou Li was frightened by the sudden thought that he had come to mind.
It quickly recovered as usual.
It must be because Chen Yan looked so secure at this moment that she had the illusion of wanting to rely on her.
With such random thoughts, the platforms were left behind one by one and were about to arrive at their destination without realizing it.
Chen Yanxian's family was two stops in front. When the car arrived at the station, he did not move. Zhou Li pulled his clothes in confusion and reminded him twice. He said indifferently: "I'll take you home."
"No need..." she said quickly.
"It's okay, I'll have nothing to do later." He glanced at the surroundings, with a casual expression.
"There are still many people, I'm afraid you will have a hard time if I go down."
"...it's not true." The bus has set off again, and the road is already ready, Zhou Li just muttered quietly.
"Why didn't it?" Chen Yanxian lowered her eyelids, pulled out a lazy curve, teasing her words, "Look at your weak look, without me here to support her, she would be like a little chicken, and anyone could step on her feet."
“………”
"You are the chicken!" She was fierce.
Chen Yan smiled angrily and couldn't help but scold her, "It's something that is ungrateful."
"I'm not a thing, I'm a human." Zhou Li argued with him and corrected it seriously. Chen Yanxian twitched his jaw and pointed it, and the smile on his face could not be controlled.
"Okay, you're not a thing."
"......" Zhou Li was depressed, and kept her head silent throughout the whole process.
The bus finally arrived at the station swayingly. The two got off one by one. The platform was a short distance from the community. The roadside was quiet and empty, and the plants were growing very well, and even in winter, it was a bit lush.
Chen Yanxian was holding a book in one hand and writing a bag in the other, slowly behind her. Zhou Li couldn't help but stop and turned to him and said, "Just go directly to the opposite side and take the bus back. There is no need to take me to the door."
"I've come here, I'm not short of these steps."
Zhou Li was speechless again by him, so he simply focused on walking, his legs were fast, turning his walking into a race-style posture.
Chen Yanxian chuckled lightly and burst out laughing unconsciously, making Zhou Li notice that the little girl was furious again.
"What are you laughing at?!"
"No." He quickly coughed lightly and rubbed his nose, "No laughing."
"I saw it all!" She was justified. When Chen Yanxian heard this, she couldn't help but step forward and pick up her ponytail, bent down slightly and looked at the dark back of her head.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Li was suspicious and alert, but his hair was held in his hand, and his neck was stiff and he dared not move.
