He Xiao stood at the door of his homeward journey and sent a message on WeChat.
Not long after he sent the message, he received a reply on WeChat. He Xiao glanced at the screen of his mobile phone and saw a message from Tang Miao in the chat box.
After this message was sent, Tang Miao sent another message.
Tang Miao sent two messages in a row, and He Xiao looked at the messages she sent on the screen. After a while, he looked up across the bar to a booth not far away.
Sitting in the booth, the woman looked down at her phone. After receiving the message, she subconsciously raised her head.
Across half the bar, He Xiao's eyes met Tang Miao's.
The moment she saw him, the woman's expression was obviously moved, and her eyes were filled with surprise and sweetness. She stood up from the booth where she was originally sitting, stood in front of the wine table and looked at him with a smile.
He Xiao looked at Tang Miao who stood up, then stood up and walked over.
Tang Miao, who was originally looking at his phone, suddenly looked in a certain direction, and after looking, he stood up from his seat. Tang Miao's sudden action startled Qian Cheng. He also looked in the direction Tang Miao was looking, and said as he looked.
Just as he said this, He Xiao appeared in front of him, and after he looked over, he walked towards the booth where they were.
The man was tall and had long legs. It didn't take him long to walk to the side of their booth. Qian Cheng often drank on his way home. Although he wasn't as crazy about band culture as Yu Yaya, he also knew He Xiao. Moreover, they had drunk and played games together last time.
Not only did he know He Xiao, He Xiao also knew him. Qian Cheng was the owner of Tang Miao Music Store, and they had introduced each other when they were playing games together before.
But even though he knew him, Qian Cheng was still surprised when He Xiao walked straight towards him. He looked at him in amazement as he walked up to him and Tang Miao and called out.
After Qian Cheng called out this, He Xiao lowered his eyes to look at him and said something to him.
"Hello." He Xiao actually greeted him. After Qian Cheng said "Hello", he laughed and replied "Hello"
After replying, Qian Cheng seemed to have thought of something, turned around and looked at Tang Miao opposite him, and said with a smile: "I was thinking that Teacher Tang was sitting quietly, why did you suddenly stand up? I thought you saw someone."
After Qian Cheng finished speaking, he added with a smile: "But I see you should really stand up. You two know each other, right?"
Just last time, when their piano store was having a team building on the way back, He Xiao came to their table to play a few games. Tang Miao introduced that she knew He Xiao and they lived close to each other. Because of this, when He Xiao left the table, he also told Tang Miao to wait for him to finish his work and they could go back together.
Qian Cheng didn’t know how well Tang Miao and He Xiao knew each other, but since He Xiao took the initiative to come over and say hello, their relationship should be good.
After Qian Cheng finished speaking, He Xiao also looked at Tang Miao beside him and responded.
He Xiao looked over and Tang Miao's eyes met his.
The emotions in Tang Miao's eyes had already subsided as He Xiao came over. She looked at He Xiao standing beside her and said another sentence with a smile.
"You came back early."
During this period, Howling Passage had been performing outside. Although they were performing outside, Tang Miao knew all the relevant schedules.
Now, Yu Yaya didn't need to tell her that she would receive Ji Bang's messages and pictures every day in the group. In addition, she and He Xiao would also chat alone.
This whizzing performance has been going on for more than half a month and has come to an end. But the real end is tomorrow.
Tomorrow, there will be a music festival in Jiangcheng, next to Huaicheng. After the performance, in Qi Yuan's words, they will take a break.
Huaicheng and Jiangcheng are neighboring cities, not too far apart. But the music festival was held in a suburb, and transportation was not particularly convenient, so even though it was close, we didn't say we were going back to Huaicheng, but only said we would come back together after the music festival.
But unexpectedly, He Xiao suddenly came back and appeared on the way home.
After Tang Miao asked this, He Xiao said, "We will go back tomorrow morning."
"Sister Zhi had something to talk to me about, so I came back. Qi Yuan and the others are still in Jiangcheng." He Xiao said.
In that case, He Xiao didn't come back suddenly, he came back because of something. After He Xiao said this, Tang Miao looked at him and smiled.
"oh."
After Tang Miao responded, He Xiao said, "I think it will take some time."
"When you're done, wait for me here and we'll go back together?" He Xiao asked.
After He Xiao asked, Tang Miao looked at him, nodded, and said, "Yes."
"Okay." After hearing Tang Miao's answer, He Xiao responded and said, "Then I'll go upstairs first."
"Go and get busy." Tang Miao said.
After Tang Miao finished speaking, He Xiao withdrew his gaze from her and looked at Qian Cheng who was sitting next to him. He nodded slightly to him, which was also a greeting, and Qian Cheng also smiled and nodded to him.
After saying hello, He Xiao didn't stay in front of the seat for long, but turned and headed towards the stairs on his way home.
Tang Miao stood in front of the booth and watched He Xiao leave. The lights on the second floor were even dimmer than those on the first floor. Not long after He Xiao went upstairs, his figure disappeared from her sight.
When He Xiao's figure was no longer in sight, Tang Miao turned around and sat back in the booth.
As soon as Tang Miao sat down, Qian Cheng looked at Tang Miao and said with a smile: "You two have a good relationship."
He Xiao was there for less than two minutes, and he only had a few simple conversations with Tang Miao. But even with these few words, it was clear that Tang Miao and He Xiao had a good relationship. So much so that the two didn't need to say much, just a few simple words to determine what they were going to do next.
After Qian Cheng finished speaking, Tang Miao looked up at him and said with a smile.
"Um."
"He helped me a lot," said Tang Miao.
After Tang Miao finished saying this, she also told Qian Cheng that she and He Xiao were neighbors and that He Xiao had helped her with some things after they met.
"Is that so?" After hearing this, Qian Cheng was still a little surprised that Tang Miao and He Xiao were neighbors. But after the surprise, Qian Cheng also felt that He Xiao was a very good person. Although he seemed a little cold, he was really helpful when he needed help.
"A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. He Xiao seems to be quiet, but he is quite reliable." Qian Cheng commented with a smile.
After Qian Cheng made this comment, Tang Miao looked at him and smiled. After laughing, Tang Miao said.
"yes."
-
Qian Cheng and Tang Miao didn't stay in the booth for long.
Not long after He Xiao greeted them, Qian Cheng's friends from the bar also arrived. When they arrived at the bar, several people saw Qian Cheng and pulled him to drink.
Qian Cheng's friends usually hang out in bars, playing games and drinking. If Qian Cheng continues to stay with Tang Miao, he will definitely drag Tang Miao down with him.
Although the weather was cool, Tang Miao felt a little hot after walking with He Xiao for such a long distance. So after He Xiao asked, Tang Miao nodded.
They walked to the Mixue Ice City restaurant at the entrance of the community.
Tang Miao's heart seemed to be bound by his words. Her jaw trembled in his kiss and words. A soft sound escaped from her throat. She raised her arms that were held by him and hugged him on tiptoe.
"You don't want to eat it?" After He Xiao bought it, Tang Miao took the ice cream and asked He Xiao with a smile. He was the one who took the initiative to buy ice cream, and she thought He Xiao wanted to eat it too.
Those people should be the ones who talked to He Xiao. After sending them away, He Xiao said something to Huang Zhi. While he was talking, Huang Zhi looked in the direction of Tang Miao. Seeing Tang Miao, Huang Zhi smiled at Tang Miao and patted He Xiao on the shoulder.
Tang Miao's heartbeat slowed down and stopped at this moment. Her wrist was held, and she felt the man's dark figure leaning towards her ear as he moved, his breath and the familiar fir scent on his body swept across her earlobe.
At this time, there are still many customers in Mixue Ice City. Adults and children gather in front of the counter, waiting to get their own ice cream and milk tea.
When she spoke, she was not eating the ice cream, but holding it in one hand, looking at He Xiao. The coolness of the ice cream not only cooled her tongue and mouth, but also her lips. Under the icy cream, her lips were redder than usual.
Tang Miao ate ice cream and walked with He Xiao through the quiet and secluded community path and entered the lobby of their apartment building. The lobby of the apartment building was as quiet as the community, except that the lights were on and very bright.
"Yeah." He Xiao responded, then he lowered his eyes to look at Tang Miao who was looking up at him, and asked.
"The voice-controlled light in our corridor is broken." Tang Miao and He Xiao said.
Just as Tang Miao said, the voice-controlled lights in the corridor were indeed broken. Except for the little light reflected from the elevator, everywhere else was dark.
At this time, there were fewer people walking on the road, and there were not many cars. Occasionally a car would pass by, and the lights would flash quickly. The two walked slowly in this quiet and dark world.
"Going home?"
Summer is almost over.
After she finished speaking, He Xiao looked at her. When Tang Miao looked over, she retracted her gaze and muttered while biting her ice cream, "I have already talked to the property management in the property group today, but they have not sent anyone to fix it. So after we got off the elevator, it was dark outside and we had to use our phones to light up..."
As Tang Miao spoke, the elevator arrived at the 16th floor.
Tang Miao sat in the booth, her eyes shining with smile. After hearing what He Xiao said, she smiled and nodded.
After she finished yelling, He Xiao's lips fell on hers, pressing them gently. He kissed her, and he talked to her. He told her while he kissed her.
"He went to see his friends. Let me do whatever I want." Tang Miao said with a smile. After that, Tang Miao looked at He Xiao and asked, "Are you done?"
The cool and sweet taste spread through the tip of the tongue and in the mouth. Tang Miao's eyes lit up slightly. While biting the ice cream, she continued to walk towards home with He Xiao.
But in fact, Tang Miao knew much more about He Xiao's life than He Xiao knew about her life during this period. Because He Xiao's life was a life that whizzed by, and Ji Bang had already told her about it in the group.
She prefers to eat it in summer because it can relieve the heat.
He Xiao's lips fell on her ear, he moved along her earlobe, across her jaw, and fell on her bright red, cold lips.
In early August, the beginning of autumn, Huaicheng was hot and stuffy for a few days, like a steamer that could not be opened. But after more than ten days, the stuffiness dissipated, and the coolness of autumn gradually invaded the small city.
Arriving at the 16th floor, the elevator door opened, and Tang Miao and He Xiao got off the elevator together.
Tang Miao felt okay with the ice cream.
Tang Miao didn't find her phone. When the elevator door closed, her wrist was held by another hand. His movements were not big, and his fingers didn't use much strength, but he held her lightly.
She has fair skin to begin with, and this lip color makes her lips look fuller.
After leaving and returning, Tang Miao and He Xiao walked along the way home towards the community where their homes lived, just like last time.
"Yes."
But you can eat it now.
Not long after, the sound of several people talking suddenly came from the second floor. Tang Miao looked over. He Xiao, Huang Zhi, and a few others came down from upstairs.
"Okay." After He Xiao said this, Tang Miao didn't ask any more questions and took a bite of the ice cream.
They have a destination, but they don't seem to be in a hurry to reach it. They seem to be more immersed in the peace and leisure of the present moment.
During the day, because of the strong sunlight, there is still a hint of late summer, but at night, without the sunlight, the world becomes cooler.
After they left and returned, they walked together like ordinary friends, talking as they walked, occasionally touching each other, and then they would leisurely separate.
"I missed you so much."
The elevator was not used by many people at night, so it stopped at the first floor. After Tang Miao pressed the elevator button, he and He Xiao walked into the elevator.
The two left together and returned home.
When he arrived next to Tang Miao, He Xiao also found that Qian Cheng was gone. He glanced at the empty seat and asked, "Where is your friend?"
This feeling is still very comfortable.
The night breeze was cool, and walking stretched her body. Her feet stepped on the hard tiles, and she walked forward in a certain direction. This feeling was a bit like the ordinary life that Tang Miao had always hoped for, the kind of ordinary life that could be seen at a glance, married, had children, worked and lived, had a place to settle down, no matter where she was, no matter whether she or her life had a goal and a way to go.
After the people in the elevator get off, the elevator door will not close quickly. The light in the elevator also shines on the dark corridor floor as the elevator door opens and closes.
"Yeah." He Xiao responded, "It's not very hot."
After He Xiao asked, Tang Miao turned around and looked at him.
"Sister." He Xiao called her.
So after a few people came, Qian Cheng said something to Tang Miao and was then taken away by them.
Tang Miao chatted with him about some things that happened after she came back from Haicheng. They usually chatted on WeChat, but some things were too trivial to be discussed on WeChat. And some things were far less interesting when expressed in words than in words.
"Can."
After performing for more than half a month, it is already the end of August.
-
The two of them walked leisurely. No matter how long the road is, it always has an end. Not long after, they returned to the street along the shops outside their community.
As Tang Miao was talking, He Xiao was listening beside her. Occasionally he would respond to her and tell her something that happened during the performance.
Darkness magnified people's senses infinitely, and Tang Miao's pulse seemed to be clamped by the man's jaws. She stopped moving, and in front of her, the man's tall body enveloped her, darker than the darkness.
After walking for a while, Tang Miao had eaten half of her ice cream. She stood in the elevator and watched the numbers on the elevator go up. The coolness of the ice cream cooled her tongue and mouth. Tang Miao looked at the numbers on the elevator screen and talked to He Xiao.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the shops along the street were still busy. Tang Miao walked with his head down, looking at the road. He Xiao followed him to a shop. Seeing the people in the shop, He Xiao glanced at Tang Miao who was walking in front of him and asked.
"Would you like some ice cream?"
Summer vacation is coming to an end. The children who used to make noises in the neighborhood late at night are now busy doing their homework at home because school is about to start, so the neighborhood is much quieter than before.
After Qian Cheng was taken away, Tang Miao was the only one left in the booth. Tang Miao sat in his original seat, drinking a drink and waiting for He Xiao.
Then, Huang Zhi left and went upstairs alone, while He Xiao walked to Tang Miao's side.
After Tang Miao finished speaking, He Xiao went to the store and bought her an ice cream.
Tang Miao got off the elevator and took her ice cream and looked down for her phone in her bag. While she was searching, the elevator door behind her closed, and the light beam seemed to be taken back by the darkness. Suddenly, the two of them were in darkness at the same time.
