To rely on others is to promise each other

Ji Xiao stayed at home for two days, and received a call from his mother, saying that he had received the postal message of the painting, and asked him to arrange a time to return to China as soon as possible to attend his sister's birthday party.

Ji Xiao was upset by what happened to Cheng Guo, so he said a few perfunctory words before falling back to the pillow.He was sure that the phone number he gave Cheng Guo was correct, but the other party still didn't call.

A friend contacted him, saying that he wanted to discuss business with a partner, and made an appointment at the ski resort according to his preferences, and asked him if he wanted to go together tomorrow. Ji Xiao had nothing else to do, so he readily agreed.

When he went to the locker room of the ski resort the next day, he was surprised to see the process of putting on the protective gear.

"Uh, you're here too." Ji Xiao took the initiative to say.

Cheng Guo glanced at him up and down, his expression didn't change, and he hummed without audible ups and downs.

Ji Xiao sat next to him and put on the protective gear, but since he hadn't used it much in the past few years, he had forgotten all about it.Coupled with Cheng Guo's inexplicable attitude, Ji Xiao felt uncomfortable, and when his mind wandered, the movements of his hands became chaotic.

"You're wearing it backwards, it's on the right side."

After putting on his skates, Cheng Guo walked slowly in front of him, knelt down, took the protective gear from his hand, and said, "Let me help you get it."

His words and actions didn't give Ji Xiao a chance to reject him. Cheng Guo's fingertips brushed over the back of Ji Xiao's hand intentionally or unintentionally, leaving a trace of warmth. Feeling hot, turned his head unnaturally.

Cheng Guo's movements were as gentlemanly and gentle as that night. After binding the belt on his leg, he grabbed the button and slowly tightened the adjustment. After confirming that it would not fall off, he stood up and helped him put on the elbow pad.

Cheng Guo is a little taller than Ji Xiao. After standing upright, Ji Xiao's face was just facing the position a little lower from his abdomen. He almost immediately remembered the scene that made him dreamy, and he swallowed and looked away. .

Cheng Guo accepted his gaze very calmly, and said to him before putting on the elbow pads: "You don't wear a little bit, don't you feel cold?"

"Cough, probably not." Ji Xiao wanted to say that she was not only not cold, but her whole body was on fire.

Cheng Guo lowered his gaze, helped him get his equipment ready, and walked out of the locker room together. A few people who were talking about business in the distance had already begun to try skating with the coach, talking and laughing.

Ji Xiao doesn't want to talk about work today, but she looks a little pitiful alone, so she throws something to Cheng Guo: "Did you come with Mr. Zhang? Also to talk about work?"

"No, I came here by myself." Cheng Guo said, and rejected the ski instructor who was about to step forward, "You know how to ski? You don't need a coach, do you?"

"I've skated before, and I'm a little rusty, but I don't think I need a coach."

After Ji Xiao finished speaking, he tried the plow-style turn for the sake of saving face. Cheng Guo stepped on the board and stood on the spot to watch from a distance. He didn't follow immediately, perhaps because he was afraid of crashing.

Ji Xiao felt good after turning a few small turns. He tried to use parallel speed control to go downhill on the primary road. It started smoothly, but when he turned, he lost his balance and fell to the side of the snowy road. clapboard.

His eyes were staring at the pain, and he didn't recover for a long time. The sound of skis rubbing on the slide approached him from far and near, and the sound of passing sounded from above his head.

"Are you all right? Did you hit your head?"

Ji Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed his outstretched hand and used his strength to stand up. Cheng Guo might have overestimated his weight, so he used more force, and Ji Xiao almost fell into his arms again, but fortunately, his knees exerted force Stabilized his figure.

Ji Xiao said: "It's okay, I haven't slipped for a long time, I'm a little rusty, but I still have common sense about landing on my side."

Cheng Guo raised his eyebrows, held the ski poles, and said, "You have a problem with your plow skiing posture, so turning is difficult and easy to fall."

"You skied well on the straight road, but when you go down the curve, you speed up too fast, what? Do you think it's embarrassing to slow down before the fast turn?" Cheng Guo paused, and poked him lightly with the ski pole Thighs, "The legs need to be opened, do you understand?"

Ji Xiao's face became even redder, and she pursed her lips in response, Cheng Guo turned his back to the lower road, and slowly slid down towards him, asking: "Go down first, can you still go?"

"Well, yes, let's go."

Ji Xiao didn't expect Cheng Guo to slip backwards. When he was going down the intermediate road, he kept controlling the speed perfectly. His eyes were basically glued to himself, and he would remind him to adjust his posture from time to time.

"Keep your legs together a little bit, and go slower."

"Well, good, lower your upper body and come to me."

"Keep your legs open, don't stretch them so tight."

……

Ji Xiao: I feel that he is teasing me, but I have no proof.

During the time when Ji Xiao was ashamed, he suddenly remembered that Cheng Guo was not good at sports. He seemed to be insulated from these exciting sports by nature, and he seemed to have no interest in anything. In layman's terms, he was born bad.

The second time Ji Xiao met Cheng Guo was at an underground roller skating rink.

At that time, he and Pei Shanqing were playing billiards next to him. When he was about to win, he heard the commotion outside, so he couldn't help but cast his eyes. It turned out that there were a group of junior high school students, male and female.

This age group is in the period of suffering from the second illness. The boys pretend to be adults, holding cigarettes in their hands and talking loudly. They take a puff from time to time, but when they listen carefully, they are still talking about things in school. Occasionally they smoke. It's fierce, and I will choke and cough.

The girls next to them also agreed that they were so handsome, and discussed with their friends in a low voice how to get close to the boy they liked.

Ji Xiao was very disdainful. Just as he was about to look away, he caught a glimpse of a boy who was very out of place among them. He obviously came with those students, but he was quiet as if he had nothing to do with them. He sat on the edge of the bench by himself. Change roller skates.

On the bridge of his nose was a pair of cracked glasses, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he had no intention of talking to others at all. Could it be the child who was rescued by Ji Xiao that day?

Ji Xiao stared at him with one hand on the pole for a while, and said to Pei Shanqing, "You won."

"Huh?" Pei Shanqing was preparing for sex, and looked at him suspiciously, "What the hell are you doing?"

Ji Xiao waved goodbye to him with a playful smile, "I'm tired of playing with you, let's have some fun."

It looks like a scumbag speaking.

Pei Shanqing took it for granted, went to the front desk to order something to drink, while Ji Xiao also ordered a pair of roller skates, and sat diagonally across from him to wear them slowly.

After putting it on, Cheng Guo stood up holding on to the railing, with a dazed expression on his face, he looked like a novice who couldn't slip, no matter how hard he tried, he kept leaning back slightly.

His classmates were all in twos and threes, and they entered the arena one after another and started skating one after another. Only Cheng Guo was stumbling and unaccompanied by himself.

Ji Xiao slid in front of him with ease, and greeted him with a smile: "Hey, kid, come out to play after finishing your homework?"

Cheng Guo was sliding forward slowly, and was a little surprised to see him, and let go of the hand holding the railing, and slowly slid forward for a certain distance due to inertia, and by the time he realized it, he could no longer grasp the railing.

Ji Xiao saw the embarrassed expression on his face, obviously he could slide back with a little effort, but he was afraid of falling and dared not move, he froze there, like a frightened cat after climbing up the edge of a treetop, suddenly started teasing him thought.

Ji Xiao slid backwards and circled beside him very much, and said with a smile: "Hey, you can't slip? Do you want me to help you?"

Cheng Guo looked embarrassed, bit his lower lip and stretched out a hand to him, his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Please help me, I can't reach it."

The music in the roller skating rink was playing loudly, and Ji Xiao couldn't hear it clearly. She slid up to stand in front of him with her hands behind her back, approached him and lowered her head and asked, "Huh? Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly."

"...can you give me a hand? I can't reach the railing."

Cheng Guo plucked up his courage, and after speaking to him in one breath, he refused to look at him anymore, stretched out one hand stubbornly, Ji Xiao smiled in satisfaction, held his palm, and led him on the field slipped up.

"Hey, don't skate so fast."

Cheng Guo was so anxious that he was on the verge of crying, and grabbed Ji Xiao with both hands, as if he was afraid that he would let go of him in the next second and fall into a shit again.

Ji Xiao gradually speeded up, and dexterously led Cheng Guo around the joking person in front, instead slipped backwards and turned around and said to him, "It's okay, don't be afraid, I can't fall on you."

Cheng Guo was still very scared, under the ambiguous light, Ji Xiao had no choice but to pull him closer, and saw a light gray mole under his eyebrow.

Ji Xiao was in a daze for a moment and forgot to pay attention to the crowd next to her. When she realized it, she almost bumped into the girl in front of her.

The other party turned pale with fright, and screamed again and again, Ji Xiao gritted his teeth, changed direction, and rushed straight towards the railing.

His back bumped against the armrest abruptly, causing a sharp pain in his spine, and Cheng Guo was a beginner, he couldn't brake at all, so he crashed into his arms with a pale face, causing him pain again.

Fortunately, Ji Xiao changed his position halfway, almost half-embracing him, and did not fall to Cheng Guo.He put his hand on Cheng Kuo's back, touched the protruding shoulder blades, and the boy's soft hair brushed against his chin, and the itchiness from him surpassed the pain for a moment.

Cheng Guo raised his head, his lips moved, as if he had said something.

Ji Xiao didn't hear it clearly at the time, and naturally he can't recall it now. Just as he was trying to recall his mouth shape at that time and try to solve the mystery, a loud cry interrupted his train of thought.

"Hey! Ji Xiao, watch your step!"

Ji Xiao suddenly came back to his senses, and it was too late to change direction. He staggered, lost his balance and rushed forward, knelt down firmly, and then rolled twice in the snow according to his inertia.

In the past, Cheng Guo was embarrassed in front of him, but now it's all right, the two have adjusted each other, it's really a turn of events.

Seeing that he was about to roll to the ramp, Cheng Kui caught him in time, his ribs were hit with a hiss, the two of them slid a little in the snow, and finally came to a stop.

This fall was not light, Ji Xiao grinned in pain and felt ashamed, so she simply pretended to be dead and lay on her back on Cheng Guo, but Cheng Guo didn't respond to his shouts, so she was so frightened that she quickly untied the skateboard and shook his body Shoulder.

"Ji Xiao? Ji Xiao! Are you okay, where did you fall?"

Ji Xiao was wrapped in Cheng Guo's arms, shrouded in the shadow cast by him, squinting his eyes to see his jaw line, then moved to his anxious eyebrows, and finally fixed on the light gray one under his eyebrows. on the mole.

"I hit my knee and it hurts a bit." Ji Xiao said, "Can you help me up?"

Cheng Guo looked straight at Ji Xiao with his deep pupils, untied the skis from his feet, and slowly helped him up to sit in the snow.

Ji Xiao was leaning halfway in his arms, his fingers that were red from the cold were tightly clenched in Cheng Guo's palm, this posture was too ambiguous, Ji Xiao was a little embarrassed, and wanted to tell him that he could get up.

But as soon as Ji Xiao turned around, he saw his eyes drooping, his expression depressed, his lips opened and closed, and he muttered to himself: "I thought you wouldn't get hurt if I learned it."

In an instant, memories of the past rolled back, and Cheng Guo's handsome face gradually overlapped with that young boy from many years ago.

What he said at the time was -- "I'm sorry, if I could skate, you wouldn't get hurt."
