Chapter 18:

The summer in N City this year was shorter than in previous years. Just by the end of September, there was already a bleak autumn breeze. In these two weathers, the temperature dropped sharply, and the sultry heat and humidity in the air disappeared, making people caught off guard.
Holding the guitar, Zhang Man walked along the corridor connecting the two teaching buildings. The front and back ends of the corridor happened to be huge windows. The windows were all open at the moment, and the surging airflow found the catharsis, and howled from one end to the other, forming a strong alley.
She was so dumbfounded that she walked back to the classroom and put the guitar next to the table.
By the window, the curtains were blown by the wind. The young man leaned his head with one hand, reading as usual. The smooth jaw line and the clean and slender knuckles are matched, which is breathtaking and beautiful.
Zhang Man raised his hand and poked him.
"Li Wei, I just went to participate in the selection for the National Day Festival. I passed it. I will be on stage to sing at that time. You must come and watch it."
The National Day Performance is on the afternoon of October 7, which happens to be the last day of the holiday. The school does not force all students to come. With his temperament, if she didn't say hello in advance, he would definitely be absent.
The boy glanced at her guitar by the table and nodded.
Zhang Man asked again: "Do you usually use your cell phone? Give me your cell phone number."
After she asked, she suddenly remembered that Li Wei had never had a mobile phone in her previous life, because no one wanted to contact him. Every time she called him, she used his home phone.
The young man hesitated for a while after hearing the words, and nodded again.
Zhang Man is a little confused, doesn't he have no cell phone? Is there a change in this life?
"Then tell me your mobile phone number so that you can contact me. If I have something to do during the holidays, I can also send you a text message to tell you to save you from worrying."
Shaoyoung coughed and said concisely: "No worries. You will come on time tomorrow and give you your number."
The next day is the National Day, so this afternoon we will start a seven-day short holiday. For Chen Feier, who has always been disobedient to discipline, it is no different from Flying Bird out of the cage and holding Zhang Man after he puts away his schoolbag. Go shopping.
Although the weather is very bad, her enthusiasm for shopping is not big or small.
She has recently started to have a fanatical interest in a young male rock singer, and she never leaves him every day. Hearing that he had just released an album a while ago, Chen Feier was so excited that she took Zhang Man to a video store in the city center.
Zhang Man was a little bit hesitant to say something but stopped. It seems that this winter, this male singer will be exposed to the scandal of drug abuse and plagiarism.
She couldn't say it straight, she only reminded Chen Feier several times euphemistically, but she didn't care at all, and maintained her new idol very well.
The two came out of the video store and went to the opposite mall to buy clothes with Chen Feier.
Feier Chen is very enthusiastic, and almost every store has to go in to try a few pieces, wandering back and forth for a whole circle, buying from scratch. Zhang Man followed behind carrying big bags and small bags for her, only feeling that his leg was about to break.
Zhang Man admitted that she was really hopeless in this regard.
However, Chen Feier was very energetic. After buying things, she started to have a consistent gossip nature: "Manman, you say, you ran to Li Wei's house every day for the past few weekends, and you were alone in the same room. What do you want?"
Helpless, Zhang Man reached out and nodded her head: "What do you think? Of course it's studying."
Chen Feier hates iron but not steel: "No, it's man, the male is current, you can hold it like this, I thought I would kiss my little mouth anyway."
Zhang Man laughed and shook his head. This girl has been speechless since she was a child. She has never been in a relationship before, and she is not ashamed to speak.
But after all, it's a little girl, and I can't stand it with a few more words.
Zhang Man suddenly wanted to tease her, and sighed solemnly: "I want to kiss too, for fear that others might think I'm harassing
annoying."
Sure enough, Chen Feier blushed when she said that she raised her head and wailed: "Heaven, Manman, why are you so embarrassed now."
Zhang Man smiled and shot back: "You are not ashamed."
At this moment, Chen Feier suddenly stopped and pointed to a mobile phone shop opposite: "Hey, Manman, isn't that Li Wei?"
Zhang Man looked at the place where she was pointing. The crystal chandeliers in the mall were very bright. On the other side of the promenade, inside the huge glass wall, the boy's profile was clearly reflected.
He didn't carry his schoolbag, and changed into a black sweater. It seemed that he came out after returning home. He stood in front of the counter, listening to the shopping guide introducing different styles of mobile phones, occasionally nodding or shaking his head.
Zhang Man was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized, no wonder that she won't be able to give her the phone number tomorrow, because she originally planned to buy it today.
So, he also wants to be able to call and send text messages to himself if he has nothing to do?
She was slightly startled, tightly tightening the rope of the shopping bag she was holding in her hand, and unspeakable joy slowly filled her chest.
Chen Feier's focus is obviously different: "Tsk tsk, reason, Li Wei is really good-looking. Man Man, look at the human-shaped standing sign at the door of the mobile phone store. In such a comparison, I think he is more handsome than the spokesperson."
She turned her head and saw her standing in a daze, so she stabbed her: "Manman, do you want to go over and say hello?"
Zhang Man shook his head, but his smile gradually came to his lips.
If he doesn't say it, she will not know.
When Chen Feier was satisfied with the shopping, the two of them held their umbrellas together and walked to the nearby bus station.
Zhang Man was still immersed in the encounter with Li Wei, and when he came back to his senses, he found Chen Feier looking at her weirdly.
She raised her hand and touched her face: "Mayfair, what's wrong?"
Chen Feier received the umbrella, took a bunch of shopping bags from her, and muttered: "I just asked you to hide, your shoulders are soaked in the rain... Look at yourself, you almost laugh The flowers are here, the whole person is stupid, and you can't hear you when you talk to you. Didn't you just see Li Wei just now? As for..."
She rolled her eyes as she spoke, expressing her dissatisfaction with her.
. ...
The next day was the National Day, Zhang Man and Li Wei agreed to go to his home to make up lessons.
She brought the ingredients and fruit as usual. When she arrived at his house, she found that the teenager had not got up early, and opened the door to her with her messy hair, looking sleepy. She came in with vegetables, the boy nodded to her, yawned and went back to the room to sleep.
He is very used to her coming.
Zhang Man has been busy in the kitchen for more than an hour. After all, it is a holiday. Today she came prepared and cooked some of the best dishes in her previous life.
Li Wei’s kitchen utensils are very new and fully functional, much more convenient than what she used to use. She came several times and bought some small things. Pink absorbent rags, oven heat-proof gloves of the same color, beige ceramic milk pots, hand towels in the shape of a sunny doll...
They are all bought casually in the supermarket. The colorful cartoon style and the overall gray-black frosty decoration do not match, but one by one fills the entire kitchen.
After all the meals were prepared, she went to the study to take a look. There was no one in the room. The table was covered with draft papers with chaotic formulas. He should still be sleeping in the bedroom. Zhang Man was worried that the food was cold, so he knocked on the door of his room and no one responded.
She reached out and turned the doorknob, but the door was unlocked.
The boy's room is the same as his whole house, it is very large and empty. One side is a huge floor-to-ceiling window. Two plain gray satin curtains are with ribbons of the same color. The morning sun shines in and illuminates the entire room.
In the middle of the smooth wooden floor is his bed. It is very big. He sleeps on his side while curled up inside, his tall body looks a little small.
Because the cast of his left hand has not been removed, it may be uncomfortable, so he moved restlessly.
Zhang Man walked over quietly and stood by the bed looking at him.
His hair was messy, it looked fluffy and soft, and it reminded her of the white puppet cat raised by Zhang Huifang in the previous life.
His cheeks are a little red because of his sound asleep, and with his eyes closed, it seems that a pair of eyelashes grows incredible, like two cat fans.
Zhang Man suddenly stopped asking him to get up, and sat cross-legged on the floor with his arms on the edge of the bed, staring at him without blinking.
The way he slept, he looked very peaceful, as if he had dreamed of some good things, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, not as serious and withdrawn as usual.
Suddenly, I thought of Chen Feier's ridicule yesterday—how can she hold onto the male sex.
Involuntarily, her gaze shifted to the young boy's pursed lips. His lip shape is perfect, his faint lip color is dry after a long sleep, and the lip lines are slightly obvious.
Zhang Man swallowed, and at this moment, he clearly felt the heartbeat in his chest, one by one, clearly and powerfully. This kind of feeling is a bit strange, obviously without doing any strenuous activities, the subtle guidance of emotions can really trigger the heartbeat.
This is the feeling she has not had for more than ten years in her previous life.
Only in front of him, her desireless heart can feel the inexplicable desire.
Zhang Man suddenly remembered a sentence that she thought was very clichéd, but now it seems to make sense. Everyone is a fish, but only when you meet the right person is a fish in water.
Just as she could see the gods, she caught the boy's eyes suddenly opened. After all, he just woke up. He blinked slowly. The moment he saw her, there was still a trace of confusion in his eyes. He looked straight at her as if he wanted to recognize the authenticity of the person in front of him.
Zhang Man hurriedly got up from the bed and said awkwardly, "That...Li Wei, we have dinner."
The young man nodded when he heard the words, sat up holding the quilt, and quietly rested for a long time to dispel the drowsiness and restore the clearness of the day.
He got up in slippers and followed her to the restaurant.
He had a good appetite, and the two sat quietly facing each other after eating. The boy stretched out his right hand to her: "Mobile phone."
Zhang Man reacted and took the phone from his pocket and put it in his hand. The young man took the cell phone and started to operate it unskillfully. He dialed several numbers before hanging up.
He handed the phone back: "My number."
Zhang Man held the phone, feeling the weight heavier. She snickered in her heart and didn't reveal him. The phone he bought yesterday, now it must only contain her call history.
She bent her eyes and smiled and ordered: "Then you save mine in a while."
Hearing this, the teenager nodded and consciously went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. The two cook one by one and the other wash the dishes. After so many days, they have cooperated very naturally.
"Li Wei, I will accompany you to remove the plaster after finishing the lesson in the afternoon. Last time the doctor said that it can be removed in one month."
The young man was taken aback for a while, and after a while, he said, "Okay."
After speaking, he glanced at her, and after a while, he lowered his eyes to the floor, returning to the expressionless expression before.
Zhang Man looked at his face suddenly darkened, and his heart was slightly startled when he understood.
He is really a very sensitive person.
Zhang Man eased his emotions and took the preemptive move: "Li Wei, if you get better, don’t you don’t need me? But you promised to keep giving me make-up lessons. You cook, okay. I can't write homework at home, and there are many that can't."
As soon as she finished speaking, the young man was a little stunned. He seemed to be trying to think about what she meant, and his brain, which had always been running at high speed, suddenly got stuck.
After a long while, he said: "That... also works."
There is a slight uptick in the ending.
Zhang Man was sour in his heart, knowing that he also wanted her to come often.
He is such a lonely person, and he stays alone every day, so he has to fill the gaps in life with delusions. As he said last time, he can't calm down and think about it 24 hours a day. If she is there, he still has things to do when he is bored.
. ...
Because Zhang Man was going to the hospital in the afternoon, Zhang Man speeded up the "learning process", and even Li Wei felt that she suddenly became resuscitated today and learned fast. Many more complicated questions, she can even pass at one point, and the accuracy of homework has improved a lot.
The original content of three hours was compressed to less than two hours.
The two took the film that Li Wei had taken at the school hospital and the medical record written by the doctor and went to a nearby hospital.
After all, big hospitals are not as leisurely as school hospitals, and they are on vacation, and many people come to see them.
It took two or three hours to register, see a doctor, remove the plaster, and do an examination. Li Wei checked inside, and Zhang Man took the bill to pay the bill, took the medicine to be used later, and ran upstairs and downstairs, very busy.
When it was finally finished, his left hand finally had no heavy obstacles, the one-month imprisonment was lifted, and he was finally able to move freely.
Zhang Man stood at the door of the department holding a bunch of things, and his eyes lit up when he came out. Then he moved a little nervously: "Li Wei, you can turn it up and down to see if it feels uncomfortable. I don't know if the bones in the forearm joints are cracked before. I don't know if they have fully grown."
In fact, I have done a detailed inspection, and the bones are growing very well without any problems.
But seeing her in a hurry, the young man still raised her arm obediently, and turned it around a few times. The mechanical movements were like a grandfather practicing in the park every morning.
Zhang Man stretched out his hand again: "Try to squeeze my hand firmly to see if you have any strength, your fingers are not flexible."
The boy was not so obedient this time.
He lowered his head, avoiding her outstretched hand, raised his left hand that had just been removed from the cast, closed his two fingers, and pinched her white cheeks.
Not as hard as she said.
He lowered his head to look at her, his expression was not real because he was carrying the light. His fingertips are warm, with the temperature of a heartbeat.
The slightly rough finger pads rubbed her soft face, and the thumb and index finger slowly swept across the corners of her lips and ears, and paused gently when they reached the middle.
Then he tugged.
As if a pinch wasn't enough to prove the flexibility of his fingers, he flexed his knuckles again, and touched her cheek affectionately with the back of his hand.
The next second, I rubbed again...
It seemed that he was reluctant to leave.
