Preserved Egg Lean Congee

Chapter 16 The past cannot be traced

The traffic lights kept crossing and flashing, and the gray sky began to drizzle again.

Song Zhiyao squeezed the warm milk tea in his hand and crossed the road while the green light was on.There was a wind now, and it was blowing coolly, which made her mind clearer.

"Zhiyao, if she has enough reasons, will you forgive her?" 』

"What reason? 』

"A compelling reason. 』

As a last resort?Ha, what a word that can perfectly shirk responsibility.

But so what?All the possible situations she had originally envisioned seemed so vulnerable in the face of reality.I have to admit that after knowing the real reason, she was indeed shaken.

Song Zhiyao closed his eyes in confusion, then walked slowly towards his destination.The wind kept pouring into her collar, she shrank her neck, thinking that after the rainy season was over, Lincheng would usher in autumn.

No matter how tough the hot summer is, after a baptism of illness, autumn will always come as scheduled.

Lin Chuxi was sitting alone in the temporary work shed on the construction site, and the thin raindrops flowed down the edge in a single line. She drank the water in the glass, then stood up and stretched.

Oh, so boring~

I don't know if Cicada's fever has subsided. When I left this morning, I was still in a heavy sleep, and my cheeks were as red as if I had been in a sauna.Originally, he also wanted to ask for leave to take care of the other party, but was seriously rejected by President Lu, so he could only come to work bitterly.

I'm really worried.Otherwise, send her a message, maybe she wakes up.

She pursed her lips, took out her mobile phone and typed. After the message showed that it was sent successfully, a familiar music ringtone sounded not far from her ear at the same time.

She looked up blankly.In the drizzle and mist, Song Zhiyao stood outside the shed without saying a word, holding an umbrella motionless with an expressionless face, like a sculpture brought from out of date.

Black clothes, black umbrella, lifeless.

"Got it..." Lin Chuxi hurriedly stood up and dragged him into the shed with a few steps, "Why are you here?"

She was actually very happy, thinking about it, she really couldn't bear to bear herself, and she couldn't bear to come to see her after she hadn't seen her for a few hours.But looking at Song Zhiyao's pale face, he was very worried.

The rich psychological activities are all reflected on the face, so it took a while for the unpredictable changes of joy and sorrow before adjusting to a more soothing and natural expression.

Sitting on the chair while pressing the other person's shoulders, she hurriedly ran to boil hot water.The conditions on the construction site were limited, so she searched for a long time under the dim light with a dilapidated small thermos before successfully finding a working plug.

When the water boiled, she found a clean towel and handed it to Song Zhiyao, saying, "Wipe."

Song Zhiyao nodded, and took the towel obediently.

Lin Chuxi was even happier, Song Zhiyao hadn't been this meek for a long time.More often, she is like a hedgehog, deliberately avoiding her own concern, and only giving herself a good face when she is in a better mood.

Sure enough, people who are sick are more fragile and need more care hahahaha.

Song Zhiyao slowly wiped off the moisture on the clothes with a towel, and then remembered the milk tea in her hand. The milk tea was already cold. She put it on the table and said the first sentence to Lin Chuxi.

"cold."

"Ah?" Lin Chuxi blinked, then saw the milk tea on the table, laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, took a straw and inserted it, took a big gulp, her mouth was bulging, and her voice was vague.

"it's okay no problem."

"Oh, that's good." Song Zhiyao lowered his head.

Lin Chuxi licked her lips, sensing something was wrong, "I see, what's the matter? Are you still not feeling well?"

"No, no."

"real or fake?"

"Really." Song Zhiyao replied in a low voice, nodding wearily.

But you don't seem to be okay at all!And...and why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?

Lin Chuxi put down the milk tea that she had just taken a sip of, and suddenly felt very problematic.Song Zhiyao's head was still drooping listlessly, staring blankly at the ground.

She stretched out her hand to press the other person's forehead, and obviously felt that the other person shivered, but she didn't make any other reactions.The palms of her hands pressed against the delicate skin, and the almost similar temperature was transmitted to each other, so she withdrew her hand with confidence.

The fever has subsided.

Then why are you still so listless?

"Got it, is there something on your mind?" She calmly picked up the milk tea and took another sip, looking like a caring elder sister.

Only then did Song Zhiyao raise his head, looking at the extremely familiar but extremely distant face in front of him, Pei Shangjin's words rang in his mind again.

"A compelling reason. 』

What is the compelling reason?

Unconsciously, she caressed the other person's face with her hand. Lin Chuxi blinked her eyes, but didn't back away, so she rubbed it a few times.

Those eyes were still full of reflections of himself, and the plump lips looked soft, and the kiss was like a sweet jelly-like texture, which he had tasted countless times before.

Yes, there is also a small nose. Countless times in the morning, she would pinch the tip of her nose lightly, shouting "Little slacker has woken up", and the other party would play tricks on her. At this time, she would kiss until she couldn't breathe, and then she would obediently open her eyes. open your eyes.

Those warm and beautiful times have never been forgotten, it has just been sealed and shelved, waiting to be opened again.

She thought she had forgotten, but in fact, she hadn't forgotten at all.

"Then will you forgive her?" 』

She was about to retract her hand, but was stopped halfway. Lin Chuxi's hands tightly wrapped her cold palms, and the warmth extended from the palms to the heart.

What a warmth that makes people yearn for, but this is the kind of person who abandoned himself once without mercy.

Song Zhiyao took a deep breath, and didn't bother to withdraw his hand. He kept this posture and asked, "Chu Xi, why did you come back?"

She wanted to ask this question a long time ago, no matter how much she tried to avoid it, this question would never disappear, it was getting heavier and heavier on her heart, and now it finally reached the point where she couldn't bear it.

Song Zhiyao found out ridiculously that his voice was as hoarse as that day two years ago.

Lin Chuxi opened her mouth, and didn't answer immediately, but digested the question in surprise, and then asked after a while: "Why are you asking this?"

Sure enough, until now, she had never thought of confessing.Always relying on his own love to be unscrupulous, it used to be like this.It still is.

So will you forgive her?

No, I won't.

Song Zhiyao sneered, but he didn't know who he was laughing at.

"Lin Chuxi, I don't like you anymore. So why do you come back?"

"I see, what do you mean?"

Song Zhiyao finally raised his head and looked straight at Lin Chuxi's stunned face, "I mean, Lin Chuxi, in fact, the current situation is a trouble for me and you, isn't it?"

She became that indifferent Song Zhiyao again, with the tails of her eyes slightly raised.

"The best way to get along between a couple who broke up is to not disturb each other. You told me this truth."

Yes, after the breakup, Song Zhiyao found Xiao Yuya and wanted to get the slightest news about the other party, but was warned by such a sentence.

"So Song Zhiyao, you think I've caused you trouble?!" Lin Chuxi was really angry, her voice was trembling, and she couldn't believe it.

Some excited words attracted the peeps of the workers not far away, Lin Chuxi paused, and swallowed the words when he reached his mouth, his chest was tight, and he grabbed the milk tea and took a big gulp.

In Song Zhiyao's eyes, this behavior was like a child throwing a temper tantrum, so she didn't answer, but just watched him quietly.

There was a stalemate.

The sharp sound of the kettle sounded at the right time, and Lin Chuxi pulled out the plug with a cold face, and the movement of lifting it was too large, and the water swayed out and sprinkled a few drops on the back of his hand.

Gritting her teeth, she put the kettle on the table, and hurried to take a shower of cold water under the faucet. Tears fell straight down as she flushed.

She knew that Song Zhiyao had been watching from behind, but he didn't move to help.

Look, what a hard-hearted woman.

She wiped away the tears from her face vigorously, and ignored the ache from the skin, she lowered her head and asked, "Song Zhiyao, do you really hate me?"

There was no reply.

"Am I very skinny and shameless now?" The burning sensation on the back of the hand has subsided a little, but it is still red, and I don't know if there will be blisters.

Song Zhiyao stood behind, still silent.

After turning off the faucet, Lin Chuxi turned around abruptly, and Song Zhiyao was still sitting in the distance, not even moving his feet.

She suddenly remembered the long dark scar on Song Zhiyao's arm, the scar that commemorated the madness of the past.

This life is destined to be irreversible.

She looked at the opponent's arm, but only saw the tightly covered sleeves.

That's right, since the ugly mark, Song Zhiyao never wore short sleeves again, no matter how hot it was, he would cover it up.

In fact, she must also hate that scar.

Song Zhiyao sighed, Lin Chuxi in front of him was red-eyed, as if she was about to run away in a second.

"I thought you understood."

"what?"

"You can't go back to the past. Chuxi, we... actually ended two years ago."

"so what?"

"I just think, I want to live my own life well, Chuxi, you should have your own life too."

She hadn't spoken to Lin Chuxi so tenderly for a long time, so the other party paused and didn't refute her.Song Zhiyao continued: "Chu Xi, you should grow up..."

"Enough!" But this time was interrupted, Lin Chuxi took a deep breath, "I understand, I will move out, and I won't cause you any trouble."

The author has something to say:

Song Zhiyao: Actually, that's not what I meant...

Lin Chuxi: I don't care, I don't care!
