hot summer gl

.

Ji Zi was taken aback, then smiled and said: Actually, I can do it too, but it's not as good.

I shook my head and said: I don't understand.

Do you believe in love at first sight?She asked me, and put the nonsense back into my hand, the wooden block became warm in her hand, and I suddenly had a weird feeling.

She is the only person who is so straightforward to me. Even Zhang Ning has never given me such a feeling. It is a feeling of helplessness that I have never felt before.

Do not believe.I replied that, in fact, this answer had nothing to do with her.

I don't believe it either.She chuckled, kind and natural, and I saw a shrunken version of me in her eyes.But it's not the first time we've met.she says.

Not more than twice.I answered quickly, it would be too hasty to show love to someone I don't know at all.

No, one more time.Also, I'm not that sloppy.she said firmly.

It was in Hainan, but you probably don't remember that time, you fainted on the beach.In fact, I was right behind you at that time, and I wanted to go up to say hello, but when I saw you and your friend on the phone, I wanted to wait, but unexpectedly, you fainted.And then I couldn't find you, so I had to come back first.

But even so...

Ji Zi interrupted me, and said softly but with weight: Actually, I came here specifically to find you.

I want to say something, but I don't know what to say.There's no need for Ji Zi to lie to me, besides, what she said is the truth. There are many people on the beach, so it's normal for me not to pay attention to her.But what does it mean to come to me specifically?Isn't this just a coincidence?The school where she practiced happened to have me, that's all.

Ji Zi slowly shook his head, you may not know, I used to study in the middle school you taught, and every year when I go back, I will go around the school.This year, I saw you on the teacher photo wall at school.

She suddenly held my hand on the table and raised her eyes: We are destined, aren't we?

I can't say more, this scene like a TV show is too beautiful to believe.Fortunately, at this time, the class bell saved me.I stood up unexpectedly, tidied up my books, avoided her fiery eyes and said: I should go to class.

She groaned and waved her hand.Go, I'll wait for you to come back.

I nodded unnaturally and left like running away.I walked so fast that I didn't hear the words she muttered to herself: This thing really works, thank you.

In the following class, I was a little restless, my head was in a mess, Ji Zi's smiling face would always flash across from time to time, she was indeed very pretty.There is an innocent beauty.But I'm still not sure how much of her statement is true or not.Because compared to her sudden arrival, Zhang Ning's traceability is more reliable.

A class of 45 minutes can be fast or slow to make people crazy.

When I heard the bell for the end of get out of class, I was a little stunned, not knowing where I should go.Originally, one Zhang Ning was already in chaos, and another weird Ji Zi.God... I can't even imagine the rest of my life.

I hurriedly collected the books and left without even saying that get out of class was over.At this time, Zhang Ning also chased after her. She called the teacher a few times, and when she saw me stop, she resumed her slow pace.

She stood in front of me, holding a piece of paper in her hand, which was the leave note printed uniformly by the school.

I would like to ask for leave tomorrow morning.She said briefly, and handed over the leave note and the pen she had prepared long ago.

I saw the words "to see a doctor" written on the reason for asking for leave, and I understood it.

How is your hand?I asked her while signing.

This visit is for a follow-up visit. If there is no problem, these bandages will be removed soon.Zhang Ning said that a little joy finally appeared on his face.

Um.I returned the leave slip to her and said: Come to me when you are done, and I will help you get a meal card.

I can see her reluctance, and I know the main reason is because of the rules set by the school.That is, even if students do not eat in the dining hall, they still have to deduct money.I don't want to comment on the quality of this system, because no one forces you to live on campus, let alone force you not to eat.

Although the food in the canteen was a bit unpalatable, it was not to the point of being unbearable.

In the end, Zhang Ning just agreed and returned to the classroom with the leave note.

I just got annoyed when I looked at her back, there was a bigger trouble waiting for me.

☆, street

Before I could sit on the stool to heat up, Ji Zi, who was on the other side with a smile on his face, said, "Jin, do you sell logs here?"

I froze for a moment, not because of her problem, but because she called me Jin, but I didn't mind at all—although the word had a different meaning when it was pronounced from her mouth—probably because I was used to being called by Han like this. .

I made up my mind and said: Yes, there is, but I don't know how to guide the way.

I can't find it even if you point it at me.Ji Zi returned quickly, you should take me there, what if I get lost?She said seriously.

I subconsciously glanced outside the door, it's September day, it's better not to go out at noon.

Well, I said, but go ahead in a few days.

why?

My courier should arrive in a few days.

Ji Zi looked at me with an expression that I couldn't tell what it was, like dazed or surprised.She seemed to put all the expressions on her face, and she seemed to be able to see all emotions.But so far I only see joy and joy.

After being silent for half a minute, I picked up the nonsense that was still on the table and played a few times, and asked her: Is it because of this?Buy logs?

No, it's because of you.She said seriously: Although my father's is very beautiful and exquisite, I still feel that I have to make one myself to be sincere.Don't think I can't, after all, I have been fascinated by it since I was a child...

I interrupted her and said bluntly: You don't have to do this.

Why?don't you like it

It's not the same thing.

Ji Zi was silent, time was like a broken clock, quietly passing between us.

Sorry, did I, scare you?She asked obviously cautiously, I was speechless, at this moment, Ji Zi suddenly laughed.Sorry, she said again, I think you misunderstood something.

I didn't fully understand what she meant. Two female teachers came into the office, and Teacher Lu was the first to bear the brunt.Yo, what are we talking about?So happy?Getting to know each other so quickly?

I was inexplicably embarrassed and responded vaguely a few times.Ji Zi's eyes flicked between the three of us, and he said calmly: There is nothing to talk about.

Teacher Lu touched a soft nail, felt bored, and returned to her seat after saying oh. She didn't even look at the delicate nonsense in my hand.

Ji Zi smiled playfully at me, leaned his head closer, and said in a low voice: There are many kinds of love at first sight.I like you, but not the kind between men and women.

I stared into her eyes and said: People who say something different in less than an hour are not credible.

Ji Zi backed away a little, but still kept a low voice. I knew she was worried about Teacher Lu and the others. After all, there was nothing to disclose about such things.

I am indeed here for you.She said very naturally: Actually, isn't it the same when I go to that school for an internship?I just accidentally knew your existence at that time.I was thinking, it’s better to go to a place where you know people than to live in a place you don’t know, right?

Although she said so, I still can't let go of the grudge in my heart, saying that I am narcissistic, or anything.I'm just too defensive, in other words, everything is like a weapon.

A few days later, the day the courier arrived happened to be Friday, so Ji Zi and I agreed to leave at 04:30 in the afternoon, because the temperature would be a little lower at that time, and it would not be as hot as steamed buns.Also, I can take a nap.Han's supervision seems to be working, although I treat my lunch break as an evening break.

It was at this time that I found out that Ji Zi didn't live in the school, and the school hadn't allocated a dormitory for these interns.In fact, this is justifiable. At the beginning of this year, the school finally demolished the dilapidated staff dormitory building, and the new building has not yet been completed.

Jin, can I share the rent with you?After we walked some distance from the south gate, Ji Zi asked me.She's been addressing me more and more smoothly these days, without realizing that a nickname is a sign of one person's intimacy with another.

Didn't you rent a house outside?

You don't know, the cars outside are so noisy, I can't sleep well.And the most annoying thing is that every day at 05:30, I will be woken up by a very loud car.Ji Zi took my hand and complained. She didn't wear a white skirt today, but she still wore a white shirt with cool hot pants. She stood out in the crowd.Holding my arm to cool off, I lost the reason to use the heat as an excuse to break away from her.

... The school will arrange it, so bear with it.I had no choice but to say this, Ji Zi gave me an unhappy look, I was most afraid that others would look at me like this, so I immediately changed the subject: which way to go?

We are at the fork, and on the left is a narrow road under the awning of the store, all the way past the wholesale store of daily necessities.This road does not lead to our destination.On the right side is a road with obvious traces of western-style buildings from the last century on both sides. There are many houses, and further forward, there are a lot of clothing stores.I almost forgot, today is Xiaodong Street, which is the market.As a result, the boulevard directly opposite us was much more crowded, full of hawkers, motorcyclists, and students returning home with backpacks.Regardless of whether it is on the right or in the middle, the two take about the same time, but the scene is completely different.

is there any difference?Ji Zi didn't think for a long time, but asked instead.

I thought about it and said, you can see a lot of old people on the right, and you can hear a lot of songs in the middle.

Ji Zi was interested in the interpretation of my image, and she chose the middle way.

In fact, I haven’t been on the street for a while, just like now, I don’t even know when those shops selling high-end goods appeared. They are luxuriously decorated, with lights and festoons at the door, and the sound is deafening.It gives people the illusion of stepping into the city.

But I know that they are more like an illusion that confuses people.

Because most people just look at it and don't sell it.

The only thing worth mentioning is that a newly opened cosmetics store invited a band to perform. The venue was just in front of the store, and a simple stage was set up.The performance of the drummer who is in charge of the drum kit is very handsome, and the female singer who is the lead singer also sings well.

Ji Zi and I stood among the passers-by in twos and threes and listened for a while.

The delicate-faced shopgirls have nothing to do.

Ji Zi suddenly asked me: She sang well too, why didn't anyone stop to watch it?

The female singer seemed to hear her words and looked down at her.

Maybe we came a little late, and everyone else was rushing home.I pulled Jizi away, and after a while I said: Maybe... because there is no place to stand, others are embarrassed.

Ji Zi understood what I meant in an instant, and couldn't help but look back. The female singer was still singing, but I couldn't hear what she was singing. The clothes stores on both sides played a song, and my ears were full of disorganized music. singing.

Jin, you are right.Her usually cheerful face became dark.In fact, I don't understand what's the point of opening those stores.They also don't consider whether people here will buy it.

I didn't answer.Why is what Ji Zi said wrong?But the city will develop, can't the villages and towns not?There will always be someone who is willing to spend twice as much.

I escaped the magic sound of the music, and I immediately relaxed a lot.After walking through this corner, you will arrive at the "Wood" street, where there are also a lot of tables and chairs shops.Walking here is like returning to the countryside. The lazy and tired locals, the peeling paint walls, and the old houses with a uniform pattern all express their nostalgia.

This street is a well-preserved street with old houses, probably built in the 70s and [-]s.When I used to study, I occasionally passed by and saw those well-shaped wooden windows with colored pictures on them.But now most of them are dilapidated, not only that, there are also a few new buildings sandwiched between them, which seem a bit nondescript.

I stared at those wooden windows, and the sadness of those distant times oppressed my heart.I think the same goes for Ji Sub.

Looking ahead, you can see the neatly arranged logs in front of the lumber yard.

Jin.Ji Zi called me suddenly, and I followed her eyes to see that an old house was being demolished, and the workers were still skillfully smashing down the wall with a sledgehammer, raising dust.They probably wanted to keep the bricks, or maybe they just didn't want to destroy the same old houses on both sides.

what happened?

Why are they tearing down these old houses?She suddenly asked me like a child.

Maybe... I took another look at that house, for a better life.

Ji Zi pursed his lips tightly, noncommittal.

I led her to a store. Outside the door was a mountain of wooden boards, with scraps piled up next to the boards.Looking in from the door, an old man is operating a cutting machine, cutting wooden boards.

I have never been good at communicating with others, so I hesitated.It's still Ji Zi who is bold enough to go in and ask me first.She asked in Mandarin if there were any logs that could be bought for her.

I heard the old man say: What are you talking about?

The old man probably never walked out of here, or he was a little deaf and couldn't hear clearly.Reluctantly, Ji Zi repeated it loudly, her fair face was slightly pink.I followed in.

This time the old man understood, but he couldn't speak Mandarin.The old man suddenly realized: Oh!Buy wood, want to buy the same one?

Ji Zi looked at me for help, and I simply translated the old man's words to her.He asks what you want to buy.

Surprisingly, Ji Zi asked for a big piece of wood. If he used the previous nonsense as a reference, he could sit on at least ten nonsense stools.Afterwards, Ji Zi explained: She was afraid that she would not succeed once, and she wanted to try other things.

After negotiating with the old man, I asked him to help divide the wood into two pieces.We each carried a section back.

I couldn't help laughing as I walked, Ji Zi asked me why I was laughing.I confessed: I think we are so stupid.

isn't it?When others go to the street to buy food or supplies, who will hold a piece of wood.

Ji Zi looked at me helplessly, and stopped suddenly. She stopped in front of a hardware store.Wait a minute, I need to buy something.

don't you have toolsAs soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt even more stupid. Except for those who survived by this, who would put the saw in the luggage.

no.Ji Zi said it was just a little small.

I was surprised by this sentence, and the next day, but when I saw her so-called tool, I didn't think there was any problem with this sentence.

Finally, Ji Zi bought saws, shavings, whetstones and some paint in the store.After buying her things, she belatedly remembered me.

By the way, didn't you say you were going to pick up the courier?

Yes yes.I hugged the wood and lowered my eyes and said in a low voice, it was right in front.

Ji Zi looked at me worriedly, but he didn't see me.

Just follow me.I turned into a street of Internet cafes, and suddenly thought: almost all the shops here are clustered together.

There were many more people who came to pick up the express delivery on Friday, and I waited for a while before it arrived.The clerk asked me what it was.I said it was a box.

Ji Zi was embarrassed to come in because he was holding the wood, so he waited for me outside the door.When I came out, I saw her pile things up by her feet, fanning herself with her collar in one hand.She still can't adapt to the sweltering weather in Guangxi.

By the way, where is your rented house?I asked as I walked, I can't take it back to school, I thought to myself.I thought again, it's a pity that I can't see the production process.

Ji Zi still couldn't remember the name of the road, only said it was around the school.

The house she rents is not far from the school, and the layout of the house is similar to my house, the difference is that her house is facing the road, so it is indeed very noisy.

☆, ingenuity

The next day, at about ten o'clock, I heard the ringing of the cell phone next to my bed. I thought it was an alarm clock. Fortunately, I closed my eyes and turned it off by hand, but the ringing did not stop.

It took me a few seconds to remember that I hadn't set an alarm.

Well, the only possibility is the phone.

After the first ring, I woke up, at least my eyes were open.It was Ji Zi who called, and we exchanged numbers on the second day of her arrival.I sent Jizi back to the past, and she followed quickly.

Hello.I said, realizing at the same time that the fans were spinning too loudly.I turned down the fan, lay on my side on the bed, put my mobile phone on my right ear, and closed my eyes, half dreaming and half awake.

... You haven't woken up yet, have you?Ji Zi asked hesitantly.

No, I just fell asleep.As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized the seriousness of the words, and immediately added: Returning to the cage!

Scared the hell out of me, I thought you were up all night.she chuckled.

It's been up all night, but I won't tell you yet.I thought casually.

looking for me?I asked.

I wonder if you are interested in coming to my place?I'm getting ready to sculpt.Ji Zi said that suddenly there was the sound of a big truck engine from her side.

I said yes, but you have to wait for me for a while.Ji Zi didn't ask why, probably she understood that I was the one who wanted to eat breakfast.

At ten or ten, I packed myself up, and before going out, I stared at yesterday's courier for a while.After hesitating again and again, he grabbed the rope and hung it around his neck. The coolness of the platinum ring was quickly transferred to his skin.

I go out from the north gate of the school.After walking east for a while, I turned into a small shop selling buns and soy milk.I asked for a cup of soy milk and a deep-fried stick, and walked while eating.Groping all the way according to the remaining memories of yesterday, whoever makes the houses here are similar.

Finally when I finished my breakfast I had to give up.After I threw the rubbish into the trash can, I stood on the side of the road and called Jizi, to the effect that she would pick me up.

After waiting another five or six minutes, Ji Zi appeared with loose hair and slippers.Her dark hair has a golden texture in the sun.I have regretted thinking more than once, will this fair-skinned and beautiful woman also be defeated in the strong subtropical sun?

did you have breakfast?This was the first thing she said when she saw me.

Of course I nodded, after all, there is still a greasy taste in my mouth.

Ji Zi smiled at me and said no more.We walked side by side to the side of the road that was not fully shaded by greenery.I don't go to this place often. I only heard that a large shopping center opened here this year, but I don't even know the exact location.I was still thinking about something, Ji Zi stopped.The first floor was unlocked, and an old woman was sitting in a rocking chair, not sure if she was asleep or awake.We subconsciously stepped lightly and came to the stairs. The stairs are steep and narrow, and the design is very unreasonable.Moreover, the lighting was poor, and it was almost dark.

Ji Zi said that she only rented one room, the one with the window facing the outer street.I am surprised that there is such a rent law.It was only later that I learned that most of the people who rented this house were students, so the owner let them make trouble, and he could do whatever he liked.

In Jizi's room, apart from a large suitcase, a few pairs of shoes, and something similar to a toolbox, there was nothing else in the room, and the room was not empty.

Because the room comes with its own furniture, which belongs to the thick lacquered wood furniture of the last century.Ji Zi put the wood and the tools he bought last night on the low cabinet, with two chairs underneath.When I got closer, I realized that she had divided the wood into several parts.Next to it are a little sawdust, paper and pens.

To make nonsense, you have to chisel wood, the sound is too loud, and the old lady downstairs won't let you.Ji Zi explained to me that we had to do other things first.

I sat down on the chair and looked up at her slightly: Then what are you going to carve?

She didn't answer right away, but sat down with me and looked at me with a half-smile: What kind of animal do you like?

horse.I said, so, are you going to carve a horse?

no problem.She said bluntly, took the pen and paper aside, put it in front of her, and tapped the tip of the pen.To be three-dimensional or flat?

I thought for a moment and said three-dimensional.Without saying a word, Ji Zi immediately began to draw on the paper.It is said that people who do carpentry can draw pictures, which is really good.Ji Zi's pony has smooth lines, and a few simple strokes can outline its fat form, especially a pair of eyes, which are warm and moist exclusively for mammals.There is no doubt that this is a naive little fat horse.

My teacher said before, it's a pity that you don't paint.Perhaps because he was afraid that I would be bored, Ji Zi started talking on his own.They all thought that I was going home to learn the craft from my father.Who knew I would end up teaching chemistry?

She smiled and sighed, seeming surprised by her choice.

I couldn't continue talking, just nodded.

Ji Zi didn't care about me, and continued: Fortunately, my brother is still at home, so he is not as lucky as me.

You still have a brother?

Yes, one year older than me.Speaking of which, Ji Zi stopped writing, and I poked my head to look, and a chubby horse appeared vividly on the paper.And the person holding the pen is staring at me, those eyes are very similar to those in the painting.

Are you interested in hearing stories?she says.

I just nodded.

In a small mountain village in Guizhou, almost all the villagers know that my father brought back a foreign girl, that is, my mother.

This was a big deal at the time!

In just one day, Ji's house was crowded with spectators, and rumors floated from the head of the village to the end of the village at the speed of the wind.And those who were lucky enough to witness the mother's face said: It's so beautiful!

At first, my mother was quite new to everything in the countryside, and she even found it fun to work in the fields.But later, my mother still failed to learn the local dialect.She can only speak some simple Chinese, and she can't communicate with the villagers who only speak dialects.And my father, most of the time, he just stayed in that cabin, pondering those nearly lost carpentry crafts.

She began to feel lonely.

During the time surrounded by loneliness, she remembered more than once the first time she saw her father and told her son to listen.

The carpenter with a good knife skill seemed a little shy to her.At that time, the mother didn't know that this shyness would turn into an unbearable reticence as time went by in the future.

Mother loves to play so much, how could she endure being trapped in this small mountain village where feudal superstition is rampant.

Speaking of this, Ji Zi paused for a moment, together with the movements of her hands.The square piece of wood has begun to take shape.Ji Zi used a flat knife to chisel off the excess wood under the pony's stomach. She cut the knife precisely and with ruthless force, as if she had a well-thought-out plan in every stroke.

It might be a pity for her to teach chemistry like this.

But now, there is no expression on her fair face, and I can't read her mood at the moment.

The mother probably thought that the father did not love her.Shortly after giving birth to me, my mother threw me to my father, who would take care of the children as an old man, and there were two young children who were only one year apart.But the father didn't get back his wife who went out to play-yes, they were not divorced-he just raised the child by himself.

When I was older, my mother, who usually only came back twice a year, returned to the family.Believe it or not, the intuition of children is also terrible. At that time, I always had the illusion that my mother would leave me soon.

I told my brother about these thoughts. I thought he would scold me, but he hugged me and cried and said: Sister, I heard everything. Mom said she was going to divorce dad!Said to take you away!Dad doesn't seem to agree!

At that time, I naturally didn't know what divorce was.I just feel that my brother's crying is really sad.The two brothers and sisters hugged each other and cried.

When we were older, it was obvious that we couldn't hide things, and with the troublemakers in the village, we almost all understood.

Ji Zi stopped talking and changed several carving knives in his hand, all of which were taken out of the tool box.She was a little careless when carving the horseshoes and broke one.Ji Zi stopped and looked at it carefully.I've seen this kind of eyes before, the numb eyes are simply heartbreaking.

Really, it's been too long since I engraved it, and the engraving is broken.she murmured to herself.

fine.I took the unformed pony and comforted me: Let's continue later.

Ji Zi held the carving knife, Zhang Yang's side face was a little lonely.She looked at me, and there was something emotional about it that made my heart beat faster for no reason.

Jin, I think you are a bit like my father.she says.

When my mother left, my father still didn't keep me, even though I was young and ignorant, I chose to go with my mother.My mother told me I would come back again.

I watched my father walk into his cabin without saying a word. When he came out again, he was holding a small box in his hand, a well-carved box. Anyone who saw it would be amazed.

My father said: Take a look, if you like it, just take it away.

Mother obeyed and opened the box.I could feel her breath constricting.She didn't speak, just nodded with tears in her eyes.

Well, the story ends here.Ji Zi pretended to be brisk and said that we went back to our motherland and lived there for five or six years. Almost every year we would take a month or two to travel, but we just didn't go back to Guizhou.Later, when I was older, my mother sent me back to Guizhou.Oh, and this.

As Ji Zi said, she took out a small box from the toolbox that I hadn't noticed before, about the size of her palm, with patterns all over it, messy but not messy, really beautiful.

Ji Zi opened it gently.

I stared at it, and my breath stopped.

It’s not about how valuable the contents are, it’s just “tools” that are one size smaller. There are all kinds of carving knives, hammers and saw blades that are one size smaller, and rulers that are completely scaled down. The pens on the side are clearly written with the letters "HB".All of which show that the artisans who complete these things have paid more patience than ordinary people.

do you know?A carpenter has a heart as delicate as the finest wood.Ji Zi said this at the end, and just like that, they are calm and introverted, and don't know how to express their hearts.Such a person is also pitiful.

☆, Season 2

When I couldn't make up my mind what to say, I fell silent because of the topic, and a faint orange fragrance permeated my nose.It was Ji Zi's perfume smell, and the protagonist who exuded a vague fragrance ended the topic first.

Oops, stop talking, stop talking.Otherwise, the engraving would not be finished today.She pointed to the pony.

Then you go on.I returned the pony to her, but the incomplete hooves always felt like a fly in the ointment.That, I think you can make a horseshoe to cover it.I suddenly had a surge of inspiration and said.

good idea!Ji Zi looked around for a while, ran out and brought back an empty soda can, shook it in front of me, and said with a smile: Let me make some shiny silver horseshoes.

I think she is as innocent as a child at this time.

Jizi cut open the cans, laid them flat on the cabinet, pressed the edges with a tool, then measured the size and drew a pattern.I volunteered to cut out the four patterns.

Ji Zi continued to rough work, this time she was much more careful, her earnest profile finally had the depth of a craftsman.

I put down the scissors and propped my head up to look at her and the pony in her hand.At this time, Ji Zi's movements slowed down, and he began to take care of some details, flattening what should be flattened, and deepening what should be deepened.

I was a little fascinated by watching it, I like to hear the carving knife swimming on the wood as if there is life, every knife is the rebirth of the wood.

The horse in Ji Zi's hands became more and more vivid.

It's a pity you don't become a carpenter.I feel it.

But Ji Zi seemed to be taken aback, the carving knife couldn't hold back, and the sharp blade directly scratched her index finger.Beads of blood burst out in an instant, and after a while, they gathered into a stream of blood.

We both froze in place.

Ji Zi came back to his senses first, took a tissue aside and pressed it directly on the wound, and then said to me like a normal person: There is a Band-Aid in that small bag, you can find it.

I hurried to find it, my hands were shaking because of nervousness.Ji Zi looked at me and suddenly smiled. She comforted me, "I'm fine. Who doesn't have a few scars when he's a carpenter?"

I didn't answer and tore off the white film of the Band-Aid.Do you want to wash the wound?I said.

Ji Zi shook his head and took the tissue away.At this time, the wound was not as scary as before, and the wound was slightly red, which further highlighted the paleness of her fingers.I attached it carefully, screw-like fit, without compressing the tissue.

Ji Zi laughed again after seeing it: I didn't expect you to be quite experienced. ...Okay, don't look at me like that.I was not careful, so don't worry about it.

I sighed, but I didn't know why I sighed, so I had to say: Let me do the rest of the steps.

You can?

Won't.I moved my eyes to the standing pony, and almost every detail was sculpted: the mane, saddle, horseshoe to cover the defects, especially the eyes, which are even more similar.That's why I feel it.

But I think the rest of the steps are fine too.I added that I should be able to.

clever.Ji Zi smiled mischievously, and I'll leave it to you.Well, just get out the sandpaper and smooth it out carefully.

Polishing has always required meticulousness and patience, and now it's Ji Zi's turn to lie on the cabinet and look at me.She is obviously a person who can't bear loneliness and can't rest her hands.Like she does my hair from time to time.Whenever I look back, she will show a sweet smile.The cycle repeats.

Jin, how long has it been since you cut your hair?she asked suddenly.

Can not remember.

Seeing how long your hair is, it must have been three years.

She didn't say that I really didn't pay much attention to the length of my hair.In my memory, I haven't cut it since I went to college, and I kept it until it reached my waist.

Ji Zi said again: I suggest you to trim it, it will be more beautiful if you change your hairstyle.

Even though I knew she did it unintentionally, I still couldn't help asking: Are you saying that my current hairstyle is ugly?

No, it just doesn't suit you.she said frankly.

It's been so many years, I'm used to it.I said, no wonder Han would say that I live like an old lady.

But Ji Zi refused, and she shouted: Oh, how tiring it is to live the same life every day, let's go!I'll take you to change your hairstyle.

Until I came to the door of the hair salon, I still haven't recovered.How did she lead her away by the nose?If Han Zai, she would definitely say: Just you, if others are stronger, you will follow them.

Well, it’s nice to change your hairstyle once in a while.

Just as I was thinking about it, a boy in a small suit walked over and said, "Pretty girl, do you want your hair cut or dyed?"Shampoo?

Ji Zi pushed me on the seat, and said to the boy: No need to wash, cut... well, cut it here.She asked for my opinion while pointing, and I naturally had no objection.She added: Cut it thinner and part her bangs down the middle.

The boy said yes, picked up the apron and put it on me.The person in the mirror opposite only showed his face, his brows and eyes were indifferent, very strange.I rarely stare at my own face because there is really nothing to see.In the corner of the mirror, I saw Ji Zi sitting down on the sofa for guests, taking out his mobile phone and looking down at it.She was at ease, leaving me alone with the powerlessness of the imminent change.

The boy's craftsmanship is not bad, at least it didn't hurt me.I can't see the black hair accumulated underground, but judging from the time, there should be a lot.Cutting hair is such a boring thing, my mind wanders.

When I was a child, for some reason, I always had an inexplicable fear of cutting my hair.Thinking about it now, it may be that those who cut their hair are very simple and rude, they hardly use scissors, and use electric clippers directly.The sound of the electric clipper and the coolness of it on the skin always give me the illusion that it will shovel off a piece of my flesh the next moment.

At that time, every time I was dragged to the hair salon by my mother, I could hear a group of children crying before I entered the door.

alright.The boy said, and grabbed another handful of hair for me to see.Does this work?

His words brought me back from memory to reality.The hair was so thin and thin in the palm of my hand, I was a little sullen that he had cut it too much.At this moment, Ji Zi came over and played with my hair with both hands, showing a satisfied expression.

very nice.she says.

Look at the big mirror with me again.The originally cold-faced person became more lethargic, and the middle-parted hairstyle well modified the shape of the face.This kind of me is a bit strange.

I pursed my lips and didn't want to speak.

Ji Zi paid the money and chased after me who took the first step.She grabbed me and said: Are you angry?

I still didn't want to speak, I just shook my head slowly.For me, it takes a little getting used to.Because I'm pretty in the mirror and I'm not like me.No wonder people say that there are no ugly women in the world, only lazy ones.

In the evening, Ji Zi called, and her usual brisk voice came through the phone: Hey, Jin, are you free for a supper?If I treat you, I should make an apology to you.

I glanced at the time, ten o'clock in the evening, it was the time for doing nothing.

First things first, this is not an apology.I said.
