gentle fairy tale

After the game in the afternoon, the team members went out for dinner. At ten o'clock in the evening, Yu Mian returned to the hotel and sent a message to Pei Songxi on the balcony: "Are you home?"

Soon, Pei Songxi replied: "Well, I just got home."

Yu Mian stood by the railing to blow the air, the night breeze was cool and gentle: "Can you speak well?"

She wants to hear her voice.

She waited for a few seconds, but she didn't hear the voice. The next second, the call came, and the person's voice was as pleasant as ever: "Mianmian, are you done?"

When Yu Mian heard her voice, she felt her heart being squeezed hard, and tears fell down instantly.

She hung up the phone.

Reluctantly began to cry.

It was not a dream.

It turned out that she... was really waiting for her to come home.

She whimpered softly in the evening wind, cried and laughed again, and wiped away her tears with a smile, only to see an unread message.

"What's the matter, isn't it convenient to answer the phone?"

"Well, my roommate is asleep."

She found a guilty excuse for herself, but Pei Songxi didn't call, and just kept sending her messages:

"have a good rest."

"[orange] [orange]"

Yu Mian looked at Cheng Zi's expression and smiled, and replied a little bear who said good night.

Pei Songxi looked at the waddling bear on the screen and smiled.

Not long after she arrived home, she was standing in front of the photo wall, holding the photo she just took today, which she took off the stage, a dazzling person.

She has not had her picture for a long time.

The last one is the one that Yu Mian sent her, the last one is the blurry silhouette of Yu Mian looking at the moon, she secretly saved it, printed it out, and pasted it up.

Pei Songxi raised his head, his eyes darting from one photo to another.

She thought of something, couldn't help but smiled, the pad of her thumb slowly brushed her lips, and her index finger wiped back in the opposite direction, as if she was still reminiscing about that bit of taste.

For many days after that, Yu Mian sent her messages at a fixed time every day.

She didn't call her easily, one reason was because she was busy... More, it might be because she had been used to it for so many years, and she didn't know if the phone would bother her.

Obviously full of expectations, wishing to fly back to her immediately, but cautious, only cherishing the warmth at this moment.

Because of the time difference, she woke up very early on purpose, and sent messages to Pei Songxi before it was too late in China, sometimes asking her if she was busy today, and sometimes talking about her arrangements.Pei Songxi replied quickly every time, as if waiting for her greeting.

As the weather gradually warmed up, Yu Mian saw the beautiful camphor leaves, picked them up and put them in the book to show her.

This time she responded more slowly, and it took about half an hour before she responded to the message. It was also a photo, a beautifully shaped green leaf.

Yu Mian slowly covered her chest, feeling a deer pounding in her heart.

In the evening, she took a picture of a corner of her desk. The books were neatly stacked, and there was a desk calendar on the desk.

Pei Songxi also took a picture of her desk, which was actually a familiar look to her. In addition to the computer and documents, there was a small pot of green succulent on the desk, but it was a distant echo.

Even on the second day, when it was raining outside, she stood under the eaves to hide from the rain, and took pictures of the corners of the eaves where the raindrops were dripping. Pei Songxi also replied to her with a corresponding picture——Mingchuan did not rain, she I even sprayed the wall with the nozzle for a long time in the bathroom, and took pictures of the falling water droplets.

Such... such a childish behavior makes Yu Mian wonder if she is wrong.

But no, that's how it is.

This is some kind of implicit but straightforward hint, letting her know that just as she misses her, that person also misses her deeply.

She couldn't wait, couldn't wait any longer.

She wants to go home.

In the spring of this year, Yu Mian returned to Mingchuan.

It has been three years since she came back last time.

When she came back this time, she didn't tell Pei Songxi in advance that it was three o'clock in the afternoon when she arrived home. At this time, Pei Songxi was still working and there was no one at home.

Stepping into No. 268 Anxi Road again, Yu Mian stood outside the gate, looking up at the red doorplate... Another three years have passed, and the red paint has peeled off completely, but the words are still there, saying her and her Home.

she's back.

When the door was opened, the living room was still in the simple and clean style, but it was more spacious than when she left.There was no plush bear on the sofa, no flower arrangement in the vase, and even the refrigerator was empty, with only two rows of purified water.

As if, the room is empty, the owner's heart is also empty.

Yu Mian threw her bag on the sofa, yelled a few times in the living room, and then picked up the suitcase and went upstairs, but she didn't take a few steps, when she passed the photo wall, she was stunned.

The wall covered with photos is now covered with a white curtain, it seems that that time was also selectively forgotten.

She felt a stab in the heart.

I wanted to reach out to lift the curtain, but my hand stopped in mid-air and slowly retracted.

She walked back with her suitcase and returned to her room.

The room is much more spacious than before, and there are only her middle school clothes in the closet, and the blue school uniform of the attached middle school is hung in the most conspicuous place.The quilt on the bed was still there, and beside the pillow was the nightgown that she had changed before she left. It had been washed clean and neatly folded there.

The window was half open, and miraculously, the furniture in the room was not dusty.The warm sunshine came in, she lay down on the bed, looked at the time, it was just four o'clock, let's sleep for a while, when she woke up, that person would come back.

This sleep was very deep.

For this return trip, Yu Mian stayed overnight for a few days to finish an important design drawing before rushing to the airport.Not to mention that it was already a night abroad, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep, but she heard a faint sound, like the sound of a car stopping downstairs, but she couldn't open her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep the next moment.Until she felt a corner of the bed sinking slightly, and a strand of hair brushed her face, itching.

She woke up.

Her eyes were still tightly closed, but she slowly bent the corners of her lips, gently grabbed the end of her hair, and said softly, "I've got you."

Pei Songxi also smiled, she just leaned over to tuck her in the quilt: "Sorry, I woke you up."

Yu Mian closed her eyes and smiled: "Yes, you woke me up. Give me a kiss, and I will forgive you."

The other party was silent for a while, and she waited patiently for a while, until she couldn't wait any longer and wanted to open her eyes, only then did she feel a shadow fall, and with a faint fragrance, the man's kiss fell on her forehead, gently Soft as catkins brushing past: "... Mianmian."

Only then did Yu Mian laugh out loud, she grabbed her shoulders and neck, sat up with her strength, a little dissatisfied: "What... just kiss like this."

It's really...too serious, and I don't know how to be seductive at all.

Although she was still disappointed, she blushed because of the kiss between her eyebrows.

Pei Songxi stretched out his hand and hugged her vaguely: "Have you eaten yet?"

"No, I fell asleep when I came back, I'm so sleepy."

"Want to go out to eat?"

"No, let's eat at home."

"At home..." Pei Songxi coughed lightly, "There seems to be nothing at home."

Yu Mian raised her head and looked at her, her eyes full of accusations: "I want to eat tomato egg noodles, do you have it?"

Pei Songxi was slightly startled, then smiled: "Yes."

She let Yu Mian let go: "You lie down for a while, I'll call you later."

Yu Mian shook her head, lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed: "No, I'll go down with you."

They drove to a nearby supermarket and came back with fresh ingredients.On the way back, Yu Mian was drinking yogurt, she turned sideways at the red light, and put the straw to her lips: "You drink."

Pei Songxi turned her head to look at her. Seeing her bright eyes, she slowly opened her red lips. She only bit the straw and drank a little. When she let go, she saw her lipstick marks on the straw.

She wanted to wipe it off with a tissue, but Yu Mian had already withdrawn her hand and ate all the marks on her lips where she drank.

It's very similar... At that time, she took her to play at the beach and drank coconut milk, she also ate her lipstick marks like that.

For a moment, his cheeks felt a little hot.

When he got home, Pei Songxi was cooking noodles in the kitchen.

It's still simple tomato and egg noodles, clear soup with little water, steaming hot.

Pei Songxi sat down at the table, picked up some tomatoes, bit the chopsticks, and suddenly said softly, "...I'll learn how to cook later."

Yu Mian burst out laughing: "No need, I just like this. And I've learned how to cook in the past few years, so I'll make it for you tomorrow."

Pei Songxi was stunned when he heard the words, and his smile faded a bit: "Well, good."

Yu Mian was lowering her head, staring at the poached eggs piled up on the bowl in a daze...it used to be hidden at the bottom of the bowl, but now it's on top.

She absent-mindedly ate half the bowl of noodles, and finally poked with her chopsticks, and found another poached egg.

It turned out to be double.

Pei Songxi put her suddenly raised eyebrows into his eyes, and the tips of his ears felt a little hot... He's never been like this before, so I don't know if Mianmian won't like it.

After eating, Yu Mian rushed to wash the dishes.

Pei Songxi was sitting in the living room waiting for her to come out, picked up a magazine and read it, but he was a little restless tonight.She stared blankly at the title.

It wasn't until Yu Mian came out of the kitchen that she put the magazine aside, and when she saw Yu Mian hugging the kitten cushion she used to sit on, she smiled: "Aren't you going back to rest?"

"I don't want to rest, I want to talk to you."

Yu Mian sat cross-legged on the ground, her chin rested on her knee naturally, and looked up at her, as if she was still the little girl in her teens.

The big light in the living room was turned off, leaving only one wall lamp, the light was warm and inviting, reflecting their shadows on the wall, a gentle and gentle silhouette.

Yu Mian leaned on her lap, talking softly.

Pei Songxi heard her talking about the architectural design she was doing for the local community recently, saying that the landlord downstairs raised a super cute orange cat, and talking about her future schedule, so she said softly: "Your goal is very clear, this is very good .”

Yu Mian raised her head to look at her: "I went to England to study, and I can't come back for a year."

Pei Songxi nodded and smiled at her: "It's only a year, it will be soon."

Yu Mian suddenly turned her face away in a bit of anger, her soft cheek pressed against her knee, but her eyes looked into the sky: "Are you..."

Does it mean that she doesn't care at all whether she will come back or not.

So for one or two months, I never asked her when she would go home.

Pei Songxi sensed her little emotions, and lightly touched the top of her hair: "Of course not."

How many times during this period of time, she wanted to ask when she would come back, but she couldn't.

She knows how many rich and interesting temptations there are in this world. In the past three years, Yu Mian has hardly sent a message or called her.If she didn't receive postcards from her every once in a while, she would think she had forgotten about her.

She knew that she couldn't keep her, maybe Mianmian would meet someone better outside, but she couldn't help but miss her...

So she can only wait here for her return.

The warm and dry heat of her palm spread along the hair, which was warm and ironing.

Yu Mian laughed at her petty temper in her heart, she has passed her teenage years, and she has been out alone for so long, she is no longer as awkward as she was when she was young."I'm just kidding," she said softly.

Pei Songxi hummed softly, slid her fingertips down her sideburns, and brushed the fine and soft hair around her ears: "I know."

Yu Mian leaned against her, could smell the gentle scent of flowers from her fingertips, and relaxed her mind. She spoke softly, and became sleepy while talking. She was still talking about the scenery she had seen along the way. In South America, In Western Europe, within the borders of the Hexi Corridor and the Southwest Mountains...

After hearing her finish, Pei Songxi smiled softly: "You have traveled a long way and visited many places."

Yu Mian was almost falling asleep, and a second before falling asleep, she closed her eyes, slowly curled the corners of her lips, and her voice was extremely gentle: "Yeah...it's been a long, long way. But no matter how far I go, I will come back."

Thousands of rivers and mountains have been traveled, and the place I want to stay the most is by your side.

quiet night.

The girl leaned on her lap and gradually fell asleep.

Pei Songxi's hand stroking her hair stopped and stopped in mid-air.

She looked down at her.She was clearly asleep, but there was still a smile on her lips, and the string of Buddhist beads on her wrist was there quietly.Pei Songxi remembered that he didn't see it last time, maybe it was because of the long-sleeved shirt Yu Mian was wearing at that time.

The hand that fell in mid-air finally came down, gently and softly stroking the top of the girl's hair. After a while, her fingers slightly curled up, trying to touch the girl's cheek, but they retracted again.

Pei Songxi pursed her lower lip, and there was a trace of restrained pain in her clear brows and eyes, she didn't dare to touch her, and didn't dare to touch other places.

If there is a god in this world, she would like to ask it.

I like her, is it really wrong, is it... an original sin that cannot be redeemed.

But she is by my side, and I don't want to push her away anymore.

I don't want to let her go again.
