We didn't escape the seven-year itch

Chapter 13

Chu Yi took the dishes out of the kitchen and put them on the dining table. The dishes were ordinary and light vegetables and mushrooms, with vegetable soup underneath.After Chu Yi put down the plate, she couldn't help thinking: It won't be broken, will it leak?

But it was obviously a hard fall. When the dishes were cleared up after the meal, a dish of soup was left on the table.

Song Mingke sighed and threw the plate into the trash can.

Chu Yi felt a little uncomfortable, "This is your favorite set of dishes..."

"But it's broken, and it can't be repaired..." Song Mingke looked up at him and smiled.

Chu Yi's heart was inexplicably twisted, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

"It's okay, it's just a plate." Song Mingke comforted him again, and then put the dishes into the sink, "I'll wash the dishes today. You cook, and I will wash the dishes."

"Together..." Chu Yi stood beside Song Mingke, picked up the rag that was usually hung on the wall, and carefully wiped the oil splashes on the marble tiles.

The sound of running water rang in his ears, and the sound of bowls and plates colliding was mixed in, just like every day in the past so many years.

Chu Yi looked sideways at Song Mingke, and suddenly thought of Christmas in her sophomore year.

The winter in the northern country is extremely cold, and the playground that has just snowed is extraordinarily lively. A group of friends who have never seen snow in the south are excitedly rolling on the playground, having snowball fights, and making snowmen.The student union department held team building activities on Christmas, and he was among a group of freshman students, appearing extraordinarily silent.

He turned on his phone and thought about it, before sending Song Mingke a WeChat message.

"Merry Christmas!"

Song Mingke replied quickly, "You too."

When he received the text message, he was obviously in a much better mood, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which caused the friend next to him to tease him, "Who did you send the message to? Smiling so happily?"

He turned his body sideways, "No one, play with you!"

Then continue to message: "What are you doing?"

"On the way." Song Mingke replied a little unclearly, and the second message followed.

"What are you doing?"

Chu Yi replied: "KTV team building, nothing to do."

"Then you have fun!" Song Mingke replied, but there was no news.

Chu Yi imitated others and sent Song Mingke an emoji package, but he didn't receive a reply. Sitting on the sofa, he became even more absent-minded, picking up his phone from time to time, unlocking the lock screen and looking at it before putting it down.

Chu Yi left the KTV with some pretext at ten o'clock, but as soon as he went out, he saw Song Mingke standing under the street lamp, with a camera bag on his shoulder.

"Song Mingke." Chu Yi called out to him.

Song Mingke walked towards him.

"Why are you here?" Chu Yi asked in surprise.

"It's nothing. You said you were at KTV, so I guessed you were here, so I just stopped by."

Chu Yi didn't know what it was like, "How long have you been waiting? Why didn't you send me a message?"

Song Mingke took out the mobile phone in his pocket with some embarrassment, "The mobile phone... I only have time to leave the whole body."

Chu Yi looked at the phone in Song Mingke's hand, the screen was smashed to pieces, obviously scrapped.

"What's the matter? Wasn't it fine just now?" Chu Yi frowned subconsciously, looked at Song Mingke, only then realized that Song Mingke's hat was covered with snow, and the side of the white down jacket was muddy.

"Did you wrestle?"

Song Mingke was obviously very embarrassed, but she just shook her head and smiled at him, "It's all right... I just cared about protecting the camera and broke the phone..."

Chu Yi was a little distressed, and patted the snow flakes on Song Mingke's hat, "Where did it fall? Did it hurt? Otherwise, go to the school hospital or go back to the dormitory to rest, why did you come here?"

Song Mingke then took out a small box from the camera bag, "I want to give you a Christmas present. The pocket of the down jacket doesn't have a zipper, so I put it in the camera bag for fear of losing it."

Chu Yi took the small box, "Can I open it?"

Song Mingke nodded, "Yes, but there is also a small greeting card..."

Before Song Mingke finished speaking, Chu Yi opened the box, because he couldn't restrain the excitement and happiness in his heart.

There are two wrist guards, with two orange stripes on the white, which look extraordinarily energetic.

"Didn't you say that one of your wrist guards was missing..." Song Mingke explained.

Chu Yi didn't speak, and saw the greeting card below, with Song Mingke's delicate handwriting on it,

"You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery

The viewers are upstairs looking at you"

"Song Mingke..." Chu Yi was throbbing and trembling, and looked up at him in a daze.

"Well... that's... Chu Yi, I really like you." Song Mingke said with a smile.

Chu Yi looked at him silently, and was stunned for a moment.

Song Mingke waved his hand again, "It's all right...you don't have to reply to me...it's really all right..."

Chu Yi forgot how he was in a daze at the time, and agreed to Song Mingke in surprise and joy, but he clearly remembered that Song Mingke looked at him with a smile, and said softly and relievedly, "It's all right..."

So is there anything wrong?

But that day was their first day together.

The author has something to say: it's the holidays, this chapter is a bit appropriate.

thank you all.
