twenty one.

This heart is too easy to sink.

When Su Bei was lying on the bed at night, he was still recalling the meeting during the day. The two of them were very close and sat side by side on the sofa. He was tall, and Su Bei felt that he could lean on his shoulder with a tilted head.

Su Bei fed him the western cakes, and his hands were raised very high. She ate one and stuffed one to him. Su Bei didn't say anything, but only handed the western cakes to his mouth. She waited for him and said she didn't want to eat them anymore, but in the end he didn't say anything. When she fed her, he took them into his mouth and chewed them slowly.

He clearly didn't say anything, nor did he do anything else, and just sat next to her, but Su Bei felt inexplicably disturbed by him, and his heart was like a chaotic spring water, turbulent.

Aunt Min was busy in the kitchen. When she came out, she looked surprised and looked surprised, "Chongnan, don't you not eat?"

He looked around and said, "It's OK."

Aunt Min shook her head and muttered, "Have you been hit recently? Why do I always think you are weird?" Aunt Min returned to the kitchen and her voice came from it, "Is something wrong with the company?"

He pursed his lips and said, "No."

Su Bei tilted his head to look at him and thought silently, was it because of the hotel?

He is worried?

She didn't know that his expression was too vague and Su Bei couldn't see anything.

Later, during the summer vacation, Subei rarely saw his uncle again. Aunt Min said that he was very busy recently and always flew from all over the world. Once, Subei and Lu Jialin made an appointment to play games. Lu Chongnan came over to play videos. Lu Jialin was halfway through the game, and hurriedly threw the iPad to Subei, "Sister, take it."

Su Bei looked at the button requesting video call, his heart suddenly beating wildly, nervous and panicked. After a while, he carefully lit the green button.

His face jumped out of the picture, and in an instant, Su Bei calmed down and looked at him blankly. His heart was filled with emotions and he whispered to him, "Uncle..."

The picture shook for a moment, and he was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect it to be her, and he whispered, "School is about to start?"

Su Bei nodded, "Half a month left."

"Is the stuff ready?"

"It's almost done, and there's nothing to prepare. Is it night there?"

He walked on the street, turned the camera a little bit, and showed her, "Well, I just had supper tonight. Where are you?"

"It's still morning here. My mother left early today. Aunt Min left me here for dinner."

"Tell her not to show off and order takeaway."

Su Bei suddenly laughed, "Aunt Min will be sad when she hears it."

He also laughed, "It's a little better than food poisoning."

...

The two of them were chatting together. Su Bei didn't know what he said. He only remembered that his fingers were tightly clenched the edge of the tablet, and it was too hard, and later his fingers were numb.

After Lu Jialin finished playing the game, he took the tablet over, looked at Su Bei, and said in confusion: "Is it hot? His face is so red?"

Su Bei suddenly felt that his ears were about to burn, so he secretly went to look at the screen. Lu Chongnan lowered his head and seemed to be laughing. She pretended to be calm and said, "It seems a bit." Then she found an extremely bad excuse to slip.

When she left the door, she leaned against the wall outside and touched her heart, which was still pounding. Su Bei remembered that she won the first prize in the first grade of junior high school. The teacher said she wanted her to give a speech on behalf of the whole school. They didn't have this link in elementary school. That was the first time she stood in front of three thousand freshmen, her hands were shaking so hard that she couldn't hold the speech. Her heartbeat was comparable to now.

Later, Su Bei gradually got used to it. Every year, she was the one who looked at thousands of people and could be as open and natural as if nothing had happened.

Later, the teacher praised her and became more and more calm.

But she was so calm that she looked at him through the screen and felt her heartbeat was out of control.

That day she played games with Lu Jialin for a day, nestled on the sofa, her neck, hands, waist and soreness. Lu Jialin said to her: "Do you want to go out for a while?"

Northern Jiangsu has always been very boring, with few friends and rarely going out to make a fuss. Hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "Okay!"

If you have more contact with new things, you may not always think about your uncle.

Tingting said that time is a good medicine.

“Can you skate?”

Su Bei shook his head.

"Will it be billiards?"

Su Bei still shook his head.

"..." Lu Jialin simply stopped asking her, "Forget it, I won't teach you."

He told her to change into light clothes, "Don't look so good. It's big night, I don't want you to be stared at by a group of little kids."

Su Bei changed into a sportswear, pure black, trousers, T-shirt, and silver lettering patterns, which made her look even more white and slim.

The two of them took a taxi and went straight to the bar. Su Bei refused. When he arrived at the door, he said that he didn't want to go anymore. Perhaps it was because of his parents' indoctrination of their ideas since childhood. Su Bei always felt that this place was insignificant.

"It's okay, let's go. A friend's house is open, and there's no mess inside."

Su Bei finally followed him in.

Lu Jialin said it was not chaotic, but there were no fights. There were still many lonely young people inside, waiting to hunt for beauty at midnight. When someone entered the door, he whistled towards Subei, but was warned by Lu Jialin.

Lu Jialin told someone, "Please let someone stare at me, my sister, don't go forward with any onion and garlic."

"Don't worry, I can't let my sister be harassed here no matter how hard it is."

The bar lights were very dim, and the sound of the dj was shaking my ears buzzed. I passed through the dance floor and arrived at the private room, and it was a little quieter.

Su Bei felt a headache and didn't know what crazy he was, so he came out to play with Lu Jialin.

He is so crazy and can he go seriously?

When I pushed the door open, someone was waiting inside. I saw Lu Jialin, and got up and hooked his back. "I'm so busy lately, Brother Lu, I haven't seen you come out."

Lu Jialin brushed away his claws and said, "Busy? Not busy at all, I just don't want to come out. I have my sister playing games with me at home. It's so pleasing to the eye. It's much happier than seeing you rough guys' faces."

The opposite was Chen Zhenghao, who was having a video of him at the Yaohu Hotel that day. He curled his lips when he heard this and turned to Su Bei, "Sister, I'll give you a piece of advice. Stay away from him, and those who are close to the ink will be dark. Look at this shameless spirit."

Su Bei knew that Lu Jialin was not busy. Aunt Min was strict during this period and he didn't dare to come out and run around. She still deeply doubted that Lu Jialin pulled her out just to cover her.

She looked at Chen Zhenghao and smiled politely.

Lu Jialin pushed her back and said to the person in the room, "I won't introduce you. My sister Su Bei, who don't know you?"

I was once a top student at No. 16 Middle School. How could anyone from No. 16 Middle School not know her? She is the representative of outstanding students every year. She speaks too frequently on stage, and it is difficult to not know her.

"How could I not know this? If I don't know you, I will recognize my sister!" Chen Zhenghao always said slickly and said, "I will open my mouth."

Su Bei was a little uncomfortable and nodded politely to everyone.

Lu Jialin ran him, "Put your trick, my sister is an honest person, I can't hear you nonsense."

Chen Zhenghao bowed, "My fault, sister, please be more casual."

There were table tennis balls in the box, with dark green base, and the clubs were casually placed on the shelf beside him. Lu Jialin kicked off the ball, bent down, and shot out, and with a bang, there was a sound of the ball falling into the bag. Su Bei followed Lu Jialin, and several girls also surrounded him, cheering the venue, while greeting Su Bei enthusiastically. The girls were not old, and as girlfriends, they came to join in the fun with their boyfriends. As for whom, Su Bei couldn't recognize them, and only felt a little envious. The girls were all dressed beautifully and had light makeup. Su Bei compared them to them and was like a little girl.

Several people shouted at each "sister", and Su Bei thought to himself in frustration, are he really naive?

"Subei, I am already twenty-eight years old." The night was thick that night, and he said in her eyes.

Do you think she is too young?

Su Bei wished she could be ten years older, but damn it, she was less than nineteen years old.

That night, Subei learned to play table tennis. Lu Jialin taught her movements. Subei learned to behave well and has a standard movement, which fully demonstrated the outstanding understanding of a top student.

Lu Jialin was amazed and boasted with honor. "My sister is so amazing, it will be difficult to find a boyfriend in the future!"

Su Bei felt his heart trembled when he heard this, and the club could not be swung for a long time.

She was thinking about Lu Chongnan, what would happen if her boyfriend was Lu Chongnan? In fact, he couldn't imagine that he was like a dream for her. Dreams were beautiful and illusory. She pursued them, but she never thought about what it would feel like to have.

She remembered that science and technology competition, and he was sitting in the audience. At that moment, everyone was watching her. She stood on the stage, but her eyes were only on him, happy and joyful. She didn't understand at that time, and she felt that he was in the audience, which seemed particularly reassuring.

When he stepped down, a girl was discussing him, saying that today's judges were so young and handsome! Another answer was, isn't it? The boss of Chengyuan Technology, the company was listed at the age of 24. Do you think it's powerful? If his partner hadn't been involved in him, his company's market value would now reach nine digits?

Su Bei felt that he was so powerful, and if she went to compete.

Su Bei was frequently lost in his mind, and Lu Jialin asked her, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

She said no, "Did uncle say when will he come back?"

Lu Jialin was stunned for a moment, probably not understanding why Su Bei suddenly brought the topic to his uncle. He said, "I didn't say it, it's probably not too early." After saying that, he shook his head, "You said why do you always think about him? My uncle is bored and boring, and he doesn't want to say anything. Alas, but when it comes to speaking, he is very nice to you."

Speaking of this, he remembered again, "By the way, wasn't my uncle not at home on your birthday that day? He said he bought a gift and forgot to give it to you. In his car, I'll give it to you and wait for it back!"

On Su Bei's birthday that day, there was no one in the family. His parents did not have the habit of celebrating her birthday, and there was no excessive expression of coming-of-age gifts. Two people who were born not romantic and did not value form naturally did not give Su Bei any surprises.

That day, Chen Yating made the cake by herself, Liang Jing cooked, Lu Jialin ordered some foreign dishes, and several people celebrated a birthday without any surprises.

That day, Su Bei kept looking at his phone, wondering if his uncle would remember her birthday? But he waited and waited for a whole day, and he was disappointed and sad, but he still comforted himself. My uncle was so busy, how could he remember everything so clearly?

Now that he knew that he had prepared a gift for her, he felt some hope in his heart.

"What is it?" she asked calmly, but her heart was surging.

Lu Jialin shook his head, "I don't know, but don't look forward to it too much. He is really not romantic. I have grown up so old that I give me red envelopes every year on my birthday, and there is no new idea."

Because this gift was unknown, Su Bei was looking forward to it and couldn't wait to go home, but Lu Jialin and the others played table tennis and cards. After playing cards, they ordered takeout, and after eating, they said they went to ice skate and digest food.

Alas. After finally getting home, I reminded Lu Jialin when I arrived at the door, "My gift."

Lu Jialin yelled, "Everyone told you not to look forward to it. You are so eager, I am really afraid that you will be disappointed!"
