Butterflies Fly Over Winter Chapter 42
byChapter 42 Blue Balloon
Xi Ai turned her head and picked a green ink pen. Then she turned back and kept tilting her head, moving away from the position where Chu Yiqi might hit his head. Then she wrote and drew. Finally, she patted the pen. She was very proud. She looked at Chu Yiqi and said, “Tell me, I draw very well.”
Chu Yiqi was still continuing to create his own art exhibition. He was distracted to take a look, and quickly connected the last oxygen to finish the project.
It can only be said that the two people’s thinking seems to be synchronized, and two similar structures appear at the same time.
——Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi both used a benzene ring as the head of the villain. Xi Ai matched it with “Long Ran Fu Xing”, and Chu Yiqi wanted to “cos Louis XVI” here.
The two were silent for a while, then suddenly they covered their mouths and started laughing.
Xi Ai covered her mouth with one hand and took the pen with the other. She was completely immersed in her self-esteemed painting skills. She stacked three benzene rings in a row and asked Chu: “Guess what it is.”
“Stupefied, dumbfounded.” Chu Yiqi pointed and started laughing, “Yeah, no, let’s add a horizontal line. The circles are the eyes, and the frames are the glasses.”
“Then the frame of the one below is a beard?”
“I think it’s okay.”
After having fun for a while, Chu Yiqi and Xi Ai finally stopped laughing and raised their eyes to look at each other. They did not realize at all how the atmosphere was like a dream, dense and hazy.
“It’s a good thing we didn’t know each other in high school.”
The two of them said this sentence almost half a second apart. Chu Yiqi immediately fell silent, then started to take a red pen and changed it to a font that she had not written much before but was pretty good-looking.
It’s like forging a class teacher Zhu Pi: “You two are really very middle-C in your speech.”
Xi Ai blinked her eyes and was stunned for a few seconds. She smiled as soon as she reacted.
“Is it because you music students like to sing music and listen to music? Come here when you have nothing to do.”
“Stop it, stop the entertainment of music students’ suffering.” Chu Yiqi immediately stopped laughing and stared at Xi Ai.
When Yunshan and the other four also packed up their makeup, they came over and saw two people making a fuss again, as if they were about to blow out a piece of pink foam and drown themselves.
However, the two people who were immediately submerged did not realize it and were still drawing small graffiti on each other’s hands.
When Xi Ai smiled and pretended to complain and said, “It’s a bit ugly,” Shi Yunshan finally couldn’t bear it anymore and said, “Xi Ai, how can you say that about our creation? You are really too much.”
“That’s right, you suck!” Yu Nianxi will always be the leader in fighting Xi Ai together.
Xi Ai said: “Okay, it’s just a bunch of cute green vines, it’s very, very good.”
Chu Yiqi snorted and said to her: “Hypocritical words.”
“But you, you don’t even want to take a look. Actions speak louder than words, okay?”
Chu Yiqi’s eyes moved, he glanced at the small dark blue butterflies and flowers on his hand, and then looked at Xi Ai and said, “Wow! That’s great. Is it a bunch of blue balloons?”
“…”
Xi Ai stared at her and suddenly thought of a solution, so she said: “Actually, it’s two birds.”
“…” Chu Yiqi probably was attacked by him for the rare time, so he stopped talking.
As soon as Yu Nianxi arrived, she suddenly heard the word “fake material room” at the door, and then heard Chu Yiqi’s rejection of the application: “Can you please be kind to your own fans?”
After thinking for a moment, Yu Nianxi pretended not to hear, held a takeout box of hot and sour noodles, pushed the ajar door open, and said, “You guys are making such a loud and confusing noise.”
“Hopefully! She questions your pronunciation!”
“Xixi, please try again.”
“Well, hopefully, I think what I heard should be the sound from other rooms.”
Bringing Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi to the initial topic. Without foreign aid and unsure of Chu Yiqi’s side, Yu Nianxi would certainly not rashly provoke a quarrel with Xi Ai.
A very wise man.
“So what are we watching today?” Chu Yiqi also tacitly skipped the chat with Xi Ai just now.
As early as half an hour ago, Yu Nianxi asked in the small group if anyone wanted to watch a movie with her. As a result, Shi Yunshan and Nie Chuiying refused without reason. Meng Yike was busy with his career-writing songs, and Su Luojian was busy putting on a facial mask and going to bed early and getting up early.
In the end, only Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi, for some unknown reason, gave up being alone and chose to let Yu Nianxi come over to watch a movie.
It’s like…
It’s as if this can better make them forget the two years that spanned them, and then they can do things that are not in line with the rational dictates of two people when they are alone.
Xi Ai raised her eyes, stuffed Chu Yiqi with another pillow, and said, “She must choose to watch ghost movies.”
“I really don’t understand you people who treat ghost movies as hypnotic stories.” Chu Yiqi remembered that every time everyone took a break to play in the living room, Yu Nianxi would start watching a ghost movie alone at the end, and then fall asleep quietly in the most comfortable corner of the sofa.
This time Yu Nianxi raised her phone very considerately: “We can also watch it in another place. I have no intention of falling asleep here directly.”
There is a feeling that if you sleep here, you will find that tomorrow I will be squeezed into a corner and you will unconsciously stick to each other in the bed.
Yu Nianxi feels that she is really a very special person who is good at describing things.
Xi Ai once again proposed a way to narrow the scope. She looked at Chu Yiqi and said very, very seriously: “But promise me, is it okay if you refuse to watch the documentary today?”
Chu Yiqi is a person who is actually very fun to get along with friends, but in private, he can read a book all day long or click on a documentary and watch the end carefully.
Of course Xi Ai also watched some astronomy documentaries with Chu Yiqi. In fact, Xi Ai was quite interested, but in the end she fell asleep holding Chu Yiqi’s arm and rubbing against Teacher Chu’s neck. She thought she was listening carefully.
——Until the moment when Chu Yiqi was about to take out his arm and Xi Ai was woken up, Xi Ai’s dreams were filled with incomprehensible astronomical terms.
The smell of Yu Nianxi’s hot and sour noodles spread, Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi sat in rows, in the same sitting posture, and only used hairpins to hold back their hair on the side.
Xi Ai opened a box of coffee-flavored puffs and handed them to Chu Yiqi.
“Try it soon.”
“I’ve already tried it, and it’s actually quite delicious.”
Chu Yiqi looked at Xi Ai in the dim light, and suddenly felt that such a scene resembled some ambiguous and disorderly past.
That day was a rare rest day. Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi watched “Universe” together. Xi Ai watched half of it and then took a look at the work group chat.
Chu Yiqi looked at Xi Ai for a while and then tilted his head and looked at Xi Ai: “Xi Ai——”
“What’s the matter?” Xi Ai replied immediately, her voice extremely sweet.
“It’s okay, I just wanted to call you.”
Xi Ai didn’t say anything. She looked at Chu Yiqi and felt something was wrong.
Chu Yiqi came over, sat next to Xi Ai, leaned over and kissed Xi Ai.
Xi Ai sent out the half-edited reply with a swipe of her hand. She quickly made amends and buried her head in the crook of Chu Yiqi’s neck to express her dissatisfaction.
Chu Yiqi kissed him again.
It’s like trying too hard.
All in all, beauty is a disaster.
Xi Ai hurriedly replied the second half of the sentence, and then looked at Chu Yiqi with a suspicious look on her face: “What’s wrong with you, Teacher Chu?”
Chu Yiqi: “…”
Chu Yiqi was so angry that he sat astride Xi Ai’s lap and picked up the small butterfly pillow to touch Xi Ai’s face.
Xi Ai finally stopped acting, smiled non-aggressively, and put her phone aside.
Chu Yiqi was about to leave after he was done with it.Xi Ai quickly grabbed Chu Yiqi’s hand. Chu Yiqi had not yet stood firm, so he was suddenly led to fall on top of Xi Ai, and Xi Ai grabbed the back of Destiny’s neck.
Fortunately, Xi Ai usually likes to put a full circle of various pillows around the two people sitting, so it doesn’t hurt at all when they fall down. So Chu Yiqi hugged Xi Ai’s waist An Ran and kissed the corners of Xi Ai’s lips.
Xi Ai raised her head slightly, pinched Chu Yiqi’s waist with one hand, grabbed Chu Yiqi’s wrist with the other hand, and pressed her thumb on an old scar.
A butterfly chases a flower and keeps getting closer.
Then Chu Yiqi heard that Xi Ai seemed to have taken something, and she immediately made a move to run away.
But the butterfly wings have been pinched.
Chu Yiqi didn’t really want to leave, so An Ran held one of Xi Ai’s hands, leaned forward and pulled open Xi Ai’s baggy plaid shirt.
White suspenders and plaid shirt, Xi Ai’s outfit today is particularly suitable for leaving some marks on her collarbone.
Chu Yiqi lowered his eyes, and with this thought, he lowered his head and took a bite.
It’s like a painless revenge.
“Teacher Chu, it hurts a bit.” Xi Ai always spoke with a smile, even under such circumstances.
Chu Yiqi bit Xi Ai’s collarbone again, next to the little butterfly tattoo, trying to suppress some of his erratic breathing.
“Do you want to turn off screencasting?”
Chu Yiqi clutched Xi Ai’s shirt that slid down to her wrists, and said with a trembling voice: “…No.”
…
When Xi Ai sat next to him, Chu Yiqi withdrew his attention, smiled and said, “When did I not say that we should watch some new movies? When did you not ask me what documentaries I watched recently?”
Xi Ai said nothing, feeling extremely guilty.
So Yu Nianxi waved her hand and said, let’s watch a little ghost movie.”
Yu Nianxi sat next to the two of them and set up a small table to eat supper.
“Sooner or later, you will be caught by Sister Luo to control your diet.”Xi Ai looked to her left again. When she saw Chu Yiqi’s profile, she inevitably saw Yu Nianxi.
“It doesn’t matter. Actually, I can’t eat it for long.”Yu Nianxi continued to eat, “It’s you, you will gain weight if you stay up all night longer. You are worse than me.”
“Actually, it’s only around nine o’clock now.”
After Xi Ai finished speaking, Chu Yiqi poked Xi Ai’s arm and asked Xi Ai to look back at the projection screen.
Xi Ai subconsciously listened to Chu Yiqi’s words, but as soon as she turned around, she saw the “beautiful female ghost” emerging.
Typical Chinese horror, typical image of resentful souls.
Xi Ai leaned back without hesitation and hurriedly grabbed Chu Yiqi’s wrist in the darkness.
The cold fingertips once again brushed the old and new scars on the inside of Chu Yiqi’s wrist. Chu Yiqi curled his fingertips, and his mind went blank for a brief moment.
Finally, Chu Yiqi glanced sideways at Xi Ai’s expression.
After being at a loss for a moment, Xi Ai still endured her fear and continued to look, but she held the person next to her tightly with her hands, as if she was unconscious.
For no reason, it reminds people of a dark stairwell, but if you think about it carefully, the specific details are a bit blurry.
I don’t know who has been waiting for a long time, and I don’t know who is the real prey biting the hook.
They couldn’t explain it and couldn’t separate it. They were so entangled that they could never get around each other.
No one asked to let go, so it wasn’t until the end of the movie that Xi Ai heard Chu Yiqi ask her: “Can you still sleep?”
Xi Ai was quiet for a moment, then let go of her hand, but did not answer. She asked Chu Qing: “Does it hurt?”
The meaning was unclear, and no one could tell whether Xi Ai was talking about a piece of wrist she had held for a long time, or the scar on her wrist.
But Chu Yiqi chose to shake her head and said, “It’s okay.”
“Can I leave the light on when sleeping at night?I always feel like there is a ghost.”After Yu Nianxi left, Xi Ai wrapped herself in a thin blanket, her voice a bit muffled.
Chu Yiqi didn’t say it. In fact, she was used to sleeping with a little light on, otherwise she would always have a bad sleep.
So she nodded and left the night light on.
“I went upstairs.”Chu Yiqi got up, opened a carton of milk, bit the straw and walked towards the stairs.
Xi Ai looked at Chu Yiqi, was quiet for a while, and followed the unspoken habit between them – a habit that started a long time ago, and said the last words before going to bed.
“Good night.”
“have a good rest.”
A little deliberate touch hidden in the shadow of the ghost film, no one dares to confirm whether it is tacit or really unconscious.
The author has something to say:
(Opening potato chips) That is to say (Chew Chew Chew) How come there are some young couples leaning on the sofa to watch documentaries on their day off (continue eating) and they have to change the carpet the next day.
Then I interviewed classmate Xiao Ai: You are really afraid of ghosts.
Classmate Xiao Ai: I am a staunch materialist, okay?
浵浧浧浧: A good scheming baby.
Classmate Xiao Ai: Didn’t you say that Chu Yiqi is not a good person?
浵浧浧浧: Of course.
