Chapter 68 Let Me Hug You
Li Zexi has been home for nearly two weeks, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve.
He felt very strange.
Guo Kai hasn't contacted him for several days, no phone calls, text messages, emails, QQ, etc.
It’s not that Li Zexi really wants to talk to Guo Kai.
Rather, this disconnection was sudden. In the first two or three days after returning home, Li Zexi would receive a call or text message from Guo Kai almost every half an hour.
For example: What are you doing? Does your family visit relatives during the Chinese New Year? I heard it snowed where you are. Can you take a picture and show it to me? At the end, I always add a sentence: I miss you, do you miss me? That kind of nonsense.
Li Zexi has gotten used to it. Every morning when he wakes up and opens his mobile phone, there will always be a text message from Guo Kai.
Sometimes it was "good morning", sometimes it was "Did you get up?", "Remember to eat well" and so on, sometimes there was no word at all, just a punctuation mark to show that Guo Kai missed him very much and could not express it in words.
But since some time ago, Guo Kai's relentless messages disappeared.
The phone was silent all day long, except for occasional contact with Chen Mengru, there was nothing else.
This made Li Zexi feel uncomfortable and extremely strange, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
On the night of New Year’s Eve, we stay up all night.
The sound of the Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV, and outside the house was bustling with the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks. Li Zexi and his family of three sat at the dining table, watching the Spring Festival Gala and happily eating their New Year's Eve dinner.
Li Zexi's parents are both elementary school teachers with good personalities and mild tempers.
Li Zexi was taught from a young age to be humble and polite, to be kind to others, not to argue when encountering problems, and to try not to conflict with others.
As a result, Li Zexi developed his previous weak and gentle personality.
When he came back this time, his parents inexplicably felt that their son was different from before, and his temperament seemed to have changed a lot.
Even the way he looks at people is much clearer and sharper than before.
They didn't think much about it and felt that university life, which was like a small society, had brought changes to people.
There is no doubt that this change is positive and welcome.
The three of them chatted about family matters while eating.
Li Zexi's cell phone suddenly rang. The phone was ringing in the bedroom and he couldn't hear it at all.
But the sound of fireworks and firecrackers stopped briefly for a few seconds, and during this gap, bursts of not-so-loud bells were heard.
Li Zexi's mother asked with a smile: "At this time, someone still calls you. It must be a good classmate who came to wish you a happy new year, right?"
Li Zexi stood up and said with a smile: "It should be Chen Mengru's call. Mom and Dad, you guys eat first, I'll go answer it."
Both Mr. and Mrs. Li knew Chen Mengru and had learned a lot about her from their son.
They once thought that their son had met a good girl and was planning to have a relationship in college, so they were very supportive.
Unexpectedly, Li Zexi repeatedly clarified that they were just friends and would not develop into a romantic relationship, so the middle-aged couple gave up regretfully.
Li Zexi walked into the bedroom and the cell phone stopped ringing.
I guess it was because I kept wasting time on answering the call that the person on the other end lost patience and hung up.
He picked up the phone and was shocked to see twenty-eight missed calls on the phone interface.
Without exception, all the calls were from Guo Kai.
Li Zexi was suddenly frightened and was about to call back when Guo Kai called again.
Li Zexi quickly pressed the answer button, and heard Guo Kai's lion-like roar coming over, with obvious anger:
"Li Zexi, you want to die? I called you so many times, but you didn't answer. What are you doing? You have a cell phone but you don't answer it. What's the point of having a cell phone? Are you doing this on purpose?"
Beep beep, beep beep, beep beep beep.
Li Zexi was forced to listen to a lot of noise about pollutants. He held his mobile phone far away and tried his best not to be hurt by the pollution source.
Only when the person on the phone finally calmed down and started talking properly did Li Zexi put the phone back to his ear.
"Li Zexi, why didn't you answer the phone?" There was a hint of grievance in Guo Kai's voice.
Li Zexi sighed, "I'm sorry, Master. I really didn't hear it. You know, it's Chinese New Year, there are a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, and the noise is too loud. My phone is in the bedroom, and I was in the living room, so it's understandable that I couldn't hear it."
Guo Kai snorted and asked, "I haven't contacted you for several days. Don't you find it strange? You didn't take the initiative to ask me what's going on. Do you really not care about me at all?"
Li Zexi: "...No, do I have time to care? You started talking like a bunch of beans, and it made my head hurt. I want to ask, did you give me a chance?"
Guo Kai snorted again and asked: "What are you doing now?"
Li Zexi: "Just, watch the Spring Festival Gala and eat."
"With whom? Your parents?"
"Who else?"
Guo Kai: "No one else?"
Li Zexi was confused: "Who else could it be? It's Chinese New Year, who would come to visit on New Year's Eve?"
Guo Kai: "Wouldn't it be too quiet with just the three of you? Not lively at all."
Li Zexi laughed: "No, I mean, what do you want to say? You called me over 20 times just to ask these meaningless nonsense?"
Guo Kai sniffed and said, "Winter in the north is really cold."
Li Zexi was a little confused: "What do you mean? Why did you suddenly say that?"
Suddenly, a burst of firecrackers sounded from Guo Kai's side.
The sound of firecrackers rang out at the same time as Li Zexi's house.
The sounds of firecrackers in the two places strangely overlapped.
An unspeakable premonition arose in Li Zexi's heart.
The sound of firecrackers was too loud. For a moment, neither of them spoke. They listened to the "bang, bang, bang" sounds again and again in tacit silence.
A few minutes later, the sounds from both sides stopped at the same time, and the surroundings fell into silence again.
Li Zexi's voice was a little unsteady: "Guo, Guo Kai, where are you?"
Guo Kai only smiled and said in a very small and subtle voice: "It's New Year's Eve, isn't it a bad idea to visit relatives? If I ask your parents to buy another set of bowls and chopsticks, will they be unhappy?"
…………
Li Zexi only felt the blood in his body began to flow violently, his fingers trembled slightly, and an answer was about to come out.
But he still wanted to confirm it, so he asked in a trembling voice: "Where are you?"
A few seconds later, Guo Kai said in a very gentle tone: "Li Zexi, I miss you so much that I can't stand it.
I'm coming to find you. I'm downstairs in your house now. You can see me as soon as you reach the balcony. ”
With a click, the phone in Li Zexi's hand fell on the bed.
He hurriedly picked up the phone, without hanging up, rushed out of the bedroom and ran to the balcony.
His house is on the third floor. Looking down from above, it is not high from the ground. There is a small green belt downstairs with two willow trees planted in it.
It was winter now, and the willow trees had almost lost all their leaves, standing bare in the cold wind, lifeless.
But at this moment, under the street light in front of the willow tree, a figure appeared that was totally inconsistent and out of place with the environment.
The man was tall and slender, with broad shoulders and a straight back. He was wearing a brown cashmere coat and a pure white scarf.
He put one hand in his pocket, held the phone close to his ear with the other hand, and looked up.
Just then, I saw Li Zexi sticking his head out from the balcony.
Guo Kai smiled widely and waved upwards, although the light was dim and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.
But Li Zexi still felt that this was the happiest, purest and most handsome smile ever on Guo Kai's face.
Li Zexi suppressed his heart that was about to jump out of his mouth, and asked in surprise and joy on the phone: "You, why are you here?"
Guo Kai's laughter came from the microphone, bringing waves of warmth. Guo Kai said: "I miss you. I came to spend the New Year with you. Come down quickly and let me hug you, my baby."
