It was almost dark when Yao Xu and Ni Xingqiao returned home.The two waved goodbye downstairs at Ni Xingqiao's house, and Yao Xu rode his bicycle onwards alone—his house was in the back building of Ni Xingqiao's house.

However, Yao Xu did not go home, but passed by his own building and went straight to the back door of the community.He doesn't want to go home.

Going out from the back door of the community, there is a 24-hour convenience store across the road. Yao Xu often sits there and goes home when he has nothing to do.Same day.

Yao Xu went into the convenience store, bought a piece of bread for dinner, and then sat down at the rest table in the corner of the convenience store.While eating the bread, he took out his book.

Today's math test hurt him a bit. In fact, he didn't really want to fight for the first place, but he had a reason to take the first place.Yao Xu sat here and studied silently. The manager of the convenience store got used to him and brought him a glass of water.

It was almost nine o'clock when he studied here, and then he packed his schoolbag and got up to go home.

There is not only one shadow on everyone's body, but the family, and the people in the family, are the most intensely portrayed of all the shadows on Yao Xu's body.He pushed his bicycle to the downstairs of the house, locked the car and looked up.The lights are on on the fourth floor.

Yao Xu went upstairs steadily, but took a deep breath before taking out the key to open the door.

Enter the door and greet him as usual, "Mom, I'm back." Qi Meiling, who was washing clothes, poked her head out of the bathroom to look at him: "Wash your hands, drink your milk and go inside to study." "Yes."

Yao Xu didn't tell her that he didn't start evening self-study this week, so he wanted to hide for a while.

Speaking of it this way, it seems a little unfilial, how can a son avoid his mother in fear

But Yao Xu couldn't help it, as soon as he came back to this house, he felt breathless when he thought of her.

Yao Xu put down his schoolbag and glanced at the milk on the coffee table.

He had to drink a bowl of hot milk every night, even if Qi Meiling was on the night shift, she would call back at 09:30 to remind him to drink it.However, Yao Xu is lactose intolerant and throws up every time he drinks it.Qi Meiling knew about this, but she felt that she was so delicate, a young man would vomit after drinking milk. She felt that Yao Xu just didn't like drinking and was making excuses for herself.Yao Xu had no choice but was too lazy to argue with her.Let her go, she has the final say in this family.

After drinking the milk while pinching his nose, Yao Xu felt nauseated. Not only was he lactose intolerant, but he also didn't like the taste of pure milk. "I'm done." Yao Xu went to wash the dishes and put them away neatly. "I'm going back to study."

"Okay!" Qi Meiling was in a good mood today, probably because she heard that her son was in a key class.

Yao Xu tried his best to breathe lightly, and went back to his room with his schoolbag.

Already in high school, Yao Xu is not allowed to close the door when he is alone in the room, Qi Meiling must be able to see any of his movements at all times.Sitting at the desk, Yao Xu thought about today's test paper with 83 points.

He turned his head and took down the textbook for the second year of high school that he had bought in advance from the bookshelf. Before the teacher started to talk, he started to learn it by himself.

"Your father bought you lychees on a business trip."

At [-]:[-] in the evening, Ni Xingqiao was sitting at the table feeling sleepy.

Just after the summer vacation, he still hasn't recovered from his lazy state, he can't wake up in the morning, he is very energetic when he doesn't study at night, and he feels sleepy when he starts to study.

His mother came in with a plate of lychees, "Try it, it's fresh." Ni Xingqiao, who was dozing off, shivered and woke up. “I like lychee best”

"You like everything." His mother complained about him, "You just don't like studying"

"No," Ni Xingqiao smiled coquettishly, "The main thing is that school has just started, and there is nothing to learn." He peeled a lychee and said, "Yes, it's delicious." He looked up and asked his mother, "My dad bought it." How much?" "It's quite a lot, enough for you to eat."

As soon as his mother finished speaking, Ni Xingqiao rushed out of the room immediately.He found the lychee, filled a small half bag, and ran outside after changing his shoes. "What are you doing at night?"

"I'll send some to Yao Xu," Ni Xingqiao said, "He invited me to eat double skin milk today!"

In fact, it was invited by the manager of the dessert shop.

"Slow down." Seeing his son running out in a hurry, the two adults in the family didn't show any signs.

Ni Xingqiao is like this, he always thinks about Yao Xu when he has something good.It's already dark outside, the old community, the lighting is not so good.Ni Xingqiao was a little afraid of ghosts, but he still quickened his pace, and took the risk of bumping into ghosts to deliver the lychees to Yao Xu as soon as possible.

In fact, it is not impossible to give it tomorrow, but Ni Xingqiao thought that Yao Xu could eat something when he studied at night, so as to refresh his mind.

He was panting from running, and knocked on the door of Yao Xu's house with a "dangdangdang".After Qi Meiling finished washing her clothes, she pulled a chair over and sat at the dining table, from where she happened to be able to see Yao Xu.

As soon as the door slammed, Qi Meiling and Yao Xu looked over at the same time.Qi Meiling "Don't worry about it, I'll learn from you." She got up and walked to the door, "Who is it?" "Aunt Qi is my Ni Xingqiao"

When she heard that it was Ni Xingqiao, Qi Meiling subconsciously frowned.Yao Xu, on the other hand, immediately put down his pen and came to the door.

Qi Meiling was a little displeased, she didn't like people disturbing Yao Xu's study. "I'll give it to him." Yao Xu stood there, saying this sentence as if applying.

Qi Meiling stared at him silently for two seconds, and then said, "Quick battle."

Yao Xu nodded, saw her turn and leave, and quickly opened the door for Ni Xingqiao.

The people outside the door were so anxious, "Why did it take me so long to open the door? I was almost chased by a ghost."

Yao Xu smiled, "Where is the ghost, show me." "Don't look, don't look." Ni Xingqiao was so scared that he pushed Yao Xu into the room, preventing him from looking behind him. "Where's your mother?" Ni Xingqiao asked in a low voice.

It was clearly her voice just now, why didn't I see anyone right now, "It's the kitchen."

As Yao Xu was talking, Qi Meiling came out of the kitchen pretending to have just finished her work, "Xiaoqiao is here, why are you here if you don't study at home so late?"

Although it was a bit hypocritical and a bit yin and yang, but at least on the surface, Qi Meiling's attitude towards Ni Xingqiao was passable.It's just that Ni Xingqiao is not really a fool, he can feel that Qi Meiling doesn't welcome him very much.

"My dad brought back some fresh lychees from a business trip." Ni Xingqiao handed them over, "Let me bring some to you.'

Yao Xu didn't like his mother's attitude towards Ni Xingqiao, seeing that Qi Meiling didn't intend to take the litchi, he quickly reached out to take it. "Just for this at night," Yao Xu asked.

"Yeah." Ni Xingqiao said, "Then...then I won't bother you, I'll go back first."

"I'll see you off." Yao Xu opened his mouth without thinking. "Xiaoqiao isn't a child anymore, I need you to see her off." Ni Xingqiao felt the atmosphere was awkward, and regretted coming over rashly just now.

"He's afraid of ghosts." Yao Xu put down the lychees, changed his shoes and pulled Ni Xingqiao away.

It's over. It's over.

When going out, Ni Xingqiao said, "I think your mother must bother me more."

Yao Xu walked behind him, stomping his feet vigorously to light up the already dull sensor light, "No."

"Nothing, I'm quite discerning in this regard." Ni Xingqiao felt that Yao Xu's mother didn't like him very much, and he didn't know why.

"But having said that, I said I would send you off, but you didn't refuse." Ni Xingqiao snorted, "Why should I refuse? I'm afraid of ghosts."

The two walked out of the building door, it was dark outside.

The two boys walking side by side walked leisurely, blowing the summer evening breeze.

Both of them were wearing short sleeves, and they walked very close, their arms touching each other lightly from time to time.

At this time, Yao Xu felt that half of his body was numb, like wicker caressing his sensitive skin.The night is silent, only the chirping of insects can be heard.

Yao Xu felt that this moment was extremely romantic. The wind blowing by, the flowers passing by, the moon above his head knew all his thoughts, but the person beside him didn't.

It's okay if you don't know, but if you know, maybe you will react. "Do you want me to take you up there?" Soon after arriving downstairs at Ni Xingqiao's house, Yao Xu rarely felt that it was not a good thing for them to live so close.Ni Xingqiao actually wanted to say no, at least it would appear that he was not so worthless.

But after thinking about it, he still said, "I read a ghost story a few days ago, and it happened in the corridor."

Yao Xu looked at him helplessly and smiled, "If you are so scared, why do you still watch it?"

"Excitement." Ni Xingqiao said, "You don't understand, we young people like chasing excitement."

Yao Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at him thoughtfully.

"What are you holding back?" Ni Xingqiao was a little nervous, "Don't try to scare me to death. It's not good for you."

"Who cares to scare you!" Yao Xu grabbed Ni Xingqiao's shoulders, just like when he was a child, "Let's go quickly and take you home. Your parents will have to worry if you go back late."

"They won't worry if I'm with you." The two walked upstairs, Yao Xu was still behind.

Yao Xu looked up at Ni Xingqiao who was walking in front of him, and said to himself that if your parents knew what I thought about you, they would probably be worried to death.Like a loyal knight, Yao Xu escorted the little prince who was afraid of ghosts to his "castle".

When Ni Xingqiao said goodbye to him, he specifically reminded him to remember to eat lychees when he went back.

Yao Xu raised his eyebrows at him, meaning he understood, then went downstairs alone and walked back quickly.

When he returned home, Qi Meiling's face was very ugly, Yao Xu tried to avoid making eye contact with her, and immediately went into the room to study after returning.Yao Xu sat at the table, a little distracted.

Qi Meiling put the lychee brought by Ni Xingqiao into a plate, soaked it in water, brought it over and placed it on Yao Xu's desk.She didn't speak, and Yao Xu didn't look up.

After that, she left lightly, continued to sit on that chair, and watched Yao Xu a few meters away, watching him study.Yao Xu's eyes fell on a lychee, imagining how tender the lychee would look after peeling off the shell.Before he sank, he pulled back from the cliff in time, took a deep breath, and brought his attention back to the textbook.
