She Can Also Be Gentle

Gu Ningzi didn’t want to go deep into the late warmth. As the monthly test counts down, Chi Nuan seems to have no spare time to take care of Gu Ningzi’s thoughts. The two sit in a classroom, but the distance between their hearts seems to be separated by thousands of miles. water.

Even Chi Nuan finished the task-like goodnight message before going to bed every day, Gu Ningzi didn't reply anymore.

In the Cold War, the two didn't break up, but the relationship regressed to be worse than that of ordinary classmates.

After finishing the last exam of the monthly exam, Chi Nuan went home directly with Chi Qingchuan.

I hired a part-time worker at home, because it was recommended by an acquaintance. He is very diligent, cooks and cleans, and will help take care of the little phoenix tree when he is free.

"Aunt Lu." Chi Qingchuan gave her two bunches of the red titan he brought back. "Give it to your kids."

Aunt Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Chi is always so polite."

"Thanks for your hard work today." Chi Qingchuan entered the living room. Yue Yun was thinking about the makeup in Lin Shen's "Dragon". Chi Qingchuan asked her, "Where is the little parasol tree?"

Yue Yun said, "I'm sleeping."

Chi Nuan walked into the room lightly, Xiao Wutong raised his hands above his head, sleeping soundly.

After dinner, Xiao Wutong also woke up, and when Chi Qingchuan bathed him, Yue Yun's mother played the video. She followed Lulu's parents on a cruise and went on a cruise. The video was connected. The crackling was a boast about the itinerary, and then Lulu's parents were invited to see the little phoenix tree.

"How about playing in the water, ah, the eyes are the eyes and the nose is the nose, do you look like Yunyun?"

"The son is like a mother, I think he looks like Yunyun." Lulu's father said.

Yue Yun greeted Lulu’s parents, Lulu’s mother’s hearty laughter crossed the screen: "Yunyun, when our trip is over, you will come back to live in, and I will help you with your mom and I will bring you the little phoenix tree, then Lulu will also return home by the time, so you guys just got together!"

In the video of Yue Yun and them, Chi Qingchuan washed the little phoenix tree, and Chi Nuan opened the soft cotton blanket, wrapped the little phoenix tree, and stiffly put it on the bed.

Little Indus opened her eyes and looked around, rubbing her mouth with her little hand, and Chi Nuan said to Chi Qingchuan who followed: "It's so cute."

...

During the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, Chi Qingchuan and Chi Nuan wrapped wontons together. The three people were eating wontons around the dining table. The little phoenix tree lay in the cradle and babbled. The TV was turned on, and the little heart that had been shrinking for days after warming was finally slowly unfolded under the nourishment of family affection.

After a meal, I do cleaning routinely. After I was busy, I went to see the little phoenix tree again, took a bath and went back to my room to do my homework.

The ink pen ran out, Chi Nuan opened the drawer to take a new pen, and chocolate candy appeared in his vision.

She looked at Tang for a long time before she realized that the phone screen was on.

Gu Ningzi's call.

Chi Nuan looked away and did not answer. She took out a new pen, closed the drawer and continued to do homework, but the handwriting on the exercise book gradually became blurred. Chi Nuan looked at it strangely. She didn't know she was crying until the first tear fell.

The second drop, the third drop...

Chi Nuan was lying on the desk, her shoulders trembling, and there was a slight sob in the room.

When Gu Ningzi called her second phone call, Chi Nuan was holding her mobile phone in her hand, staring at the screen, and she read five silently and connected.

"Chi Nuan." Gu Ningzi said.

"Yeah." Chi Nuan replied.

Gu Ningzi asked her quietly, "What are you doing?"

Chi Nuan: "Doing homework."

Gu Ningzi: "Don't you ask me?"

Chi Nuan raised her head, blinked her eyes to end her tears, and asked obediently, "Then what are you doing?"

Gu Ningzi: "I'm downstairs in your house."

"..." Chi Nuan got up and opened the window of the room. I don't know when the rain was falling outside. Gu Ningzi was standing in front of the flower garden downstairs, holding a black umbrella.

The windows of each house were shining with lights, the rain was pattering, and the ground was soaked. Gu Ningzi moved the umbrella surface to reveal his face, looking up slowly.

Chi Nuan: "You..."

There was silence in the receiver, and Chi Nuan took a breath: "Wait a minute."

She hung up the phone, opened the door, practiced her expression in the mirror, then changed her shoes and went downstairs to pick up Gu Ningzi.

Chi Nuan went down to the first floor. Gu Ningzi had already closed the umbrella, stood in the doorway, heard footsteps, and raised her head.

The two looked at each other across a few stairs. Chi Nuan resisted the urge to fly to Gu Ningzi, walked up to her as usual, and asked her with curiosity: "Today, Mid-Autumn Festival, why are you? Come?... Didn't go home, or go to Grandpa's side?"

Gu Ningzi looked at her in silence.

Chi Nuan nodded: "Go up."

The two entered the door, Chi Nuan put away Gu Ningzi's umbrella, and Gu Ningzi stood in the living room: "I haven't eaten dinner yet."

Chi Nuan looked at the clock on the wall to determine the time. It was almost ten o'clock. Sorrow raged, and she suddenly had a feeling: "Have you been downstairs for a long time?"

Gu Ningzi did not speak.

After a long while, Chi Nuan asked, "Do you want wontons?"

Gu Ningzi: "Yeah."

Chi Nuan went to the kitchen to give her wontons. After the soup was adjusted, the wontons were out of the pot, Chi Nuan sat at the table with Gu Ningzi.

There was a cry from the little phoenix tree in the master bedroom, Chi Nuan looked at the door, and the cry was getting closer and closer, Chi Qingchuan came out holding the little phoenix tree, and Chi Nuan got up to make milk powder.

"Little Gu is here?" Chi Qingchuan was already used to Gu Ningzi's arrival. He greeted him with a smile, and coaxed the little Wutong, who closed his eyes and cried, to wait for Chi Nuan.

The milk powder was ready, Chi Nuan shakes it well, and as soon as the pacifier was inserted into the mouth of the little phoenix tree, he hummed and sucked.

There was only a small lamp in the living room, and the light was dim. Chi Qingchuan sat on the sofa holding the little phoenix tree. After drinking the milk powder, the little phoenix tree fell asleep.

Gu Ningzi eats wontons very slowly, and Chi Nuan once thought it was not to her appetite: "Isn't it tasty?" she asked.

Gu Ningzi said, "It's delicious."

Chi Qingchuan returned to her room with the little phoenix tree in her arms. Gu Ningzi finished her meal and washed herself, and went to Chi Nuan's room.

Chi Nuan was doing homework, and Gu Ningzi didn't bother her, sitting on the edge of the bed and waiting for her to finish writing.

Chi Nuan couldn't concentrate, pretending to write, but the efficiency was about zero. At 12 o'clock, she finally put on her pen cap.

Turning off the lights, the two lay down together, and Gu Ningzi asked, "Can I hold your hand?"

Chi Nuan said, "Stop it."

In the usual times like this, Chi Nuan was always duplicity, but Gu Ningzi knew that she said no this time, she really didn't want it.

An unspeakable atmosphere spread in the room.

"Can you tell me the reason for your recent abnormality?" Gu Ningzi asked directly.

Is it now? Chi Nuan was grateful for the darkness, so she didn't have to spend any effort to disguise her expression. After a long period of contemplation, she said, "Gu Ningzi, I'm sorry."

Gu Ningzi looked at the low ceiling.

"I...actually I don't know how to express it properly", Chi Nuan's speech speed is not fast or slow, "I don't know what's going on... At first I thought I liked you and was with you. It’s also very fresh...You look good, you treat me well, being liked by you can satisfy my vanity... But after meeting your sister, you suddenly mentioned the future, I just...I ...I am very anxious. I don't know if the future I want is like this. It seems that there is a sudden pressure."

Gu Ningzi said, "You lied."

In a few simple words, Chi Nuan’s eyes were wet immediately, but she insisted: "I don’t know clearly. Sometimes I really think I like you. When you ignore me, I think Be close to you and let your eyes notice me; when you play ball, I will think of such a powerful Gu Ningzi, she pretends to be me in her heart... But once you are close to me, I will... I can’t help but get upset, I’m afraid of being seen by others...I’ve never done such a rebellious thing with a girl... But because the other person is you, you are so good to me, I can only force myself , I desperately hinted at myself, I like you, but...every day before going to bed, I pray, I pray that I wake up the next day can be more heart-warming for you, instead of resisting... Gu Ningzi, I don’t know. I don’t know what I want to say, I don’t know."

Gu Ningzi stretched out her hand and stroked it under Chi Nuan's eyes.

"You are crying." Gu Ningzi said, "You are lying, it's not like that."

Chi Nuan choked and said, "I'm sorry... Gu Ningzi, I'm sorry, I also blame myself, but...I prefer the time before the summer vacation starts than in love. I have no burden, and I can't help being attracted by you... We Is it possible to return to that time?"

Gu Ningzi’s breathing became rapid, she got up and went to the ground, Chi Nuan also sat up from the bed: "I know it’s very selfish to say this, Gu Ningzi, I care about you, even if I can’t tell if it’s the way to you. Like it, I care if you are real."

Gu Ningzi suppressed her emotions, and she whispered: "Can't tell? Chi Nuan, is the happiness I have during this period of time been my own imagination!?"

"Don't be angry, Gu Ningzi, I'm sorry, don't be angry, it's all my fault..." Chi Nuan wanted to hug her, but Gu Ningzi waved her hand and stood by the bed with a trembling voice: "You are afraid Exposure, we can keep a distance in school; if you are afraid of burdens, we can also ignore the future and just look at the present... But, I like you, Chi Nuan, I treat you as a serious girlfriend in dating, but you only want to be with you Do I play ambiguous games that don't need to be responsible?"

Chi Nuan bit the back of her hand, fearing that she would cry too loudly and quarreling Chi Qingchuan and Yue Yun.

Gu Ningzi: "I can't accept it. That's not the case. You are not such a person. Tell me, Chi Nuan, you are lying to me, right?"

Chi Nuan opened her crying eyes and pulled Gu Ningzi's hand: "Are you disappointed in me?"

Gu Ningzi: "I like you!"

Gu Ningzi said, "I can accommodate you a lot, and I will. As long as you tell me, the things you said before are all lying to me.... You like me too, don't you?"

After Gu Ningzi asked these words, she stood there for a long time. She searched for her memory, no, Chi Nuan never said that she liked her, not once.

"...Is that why you never say you like me?"

Chi Nuan didn't answer her face-to-face, but pressed her lips and cried sobbing. She shouted in her heart: Yes, Gu Ningzi, I was lying. I wrote the words you want to hear in the palm of your hand.

The rain outside seemed to be heavy, crackling the windows.

Gu Ningzi opened the door and left Chi Nuan's house in the early morning when it was raining heavily.
