taste peaches

Chapter 16 You're Lost
...

When the night is quiet, it is easy to feel empty and think about it.

The frames that flashed through Xuan Zhi's mind were all the images of being with Chen Jingpei five years ago.

She remembered that the first time she met Chen Jingpei was on the night of the Lantern Festival, she took the same elevator to the same floor, went to the same corridor, and lived at the opposite door.

But then, something embarrassing happened.

She bought a pack of glutinous rice balls and a few snow peaches in the supermarket. When she mentioned the door of the house, she took out the keys in the bag. Rolled and rolled to Chen Jingpei's door.

Chen Jingpei was standing at the entrance. He was about to close the door, but was stuck there by a peach. He was forced to stop. He took two steps back as if he was afraid of being bitten by a peach, and called Xuan Zhi Zhi said: "Hey, your peach has fallen."

Xuan Zhi hurriedly said sorry, and quickly picked it up.

Chen Jingpei said coldly again: "There is still one inside."

The other one almost rolled into the living room, running Taotao very hard.

Xuan Zhi didn't dare to go into a strange man's house casually, so she asked him weakly: "Can I trouble you to take it out for me?"

Chen Jingpei directly refused, "I'm allergic to peaches."

Xuan Zhi had nothing to say, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet, quickly rushed in to pick it up, quickly rushed out, and then quickly entered the door of his house, clutching his beating little heart, and locked it.

Perhaps Chen Jingpei was too good-looking and too dangerous.

It's the kind of danger that once you meet his eyes, your soul will be sucked away...

After that, within a few days, she met Chen Jingpei again.

It was also the night that she was an intern at the news newspaper office. Because of the heavy workload that day, she came back very late and took the last train.

But when she got out of the subway station and crossed the overpass, she felt that she was being followed all the way.

She quickly stepped off the overpass and ran to the main road near the community.

But the man still followed closely.

And the neighborhood where she lives is very quiet, a health-preserving environment, with many green plants and few vehicles on the road, occasionally passing by.

There was no one within 500 meters of anyone.

And to get to the security booth at the gate of the community, you have to turn to Hengjie Street, and there is still a long way to go.

Xuan Zhi saw that the street lights in front of her were very dim, and when she was about to run, suddenly a car light behind her slowly shone on her.

That car drives very slowly.

She couldn't help but glanced back, it happened to be her opposite door - Chen Jingpei.

However, at that time, she did not know his name.

Xuan Zhi's heart, without knowing why, completely hangs down, feeling full of security.

And the person following her behind also turned around and ran away in a hurry.

Xuan Zhi really wanted to say thank you to Chen Jingpei.

But Chen Jingpei seemed to be showing her the way, but he didn't seem to be.

Because she saw him with the car window open, holding the steering wheel with one hand and a lighted cigarette with the other.

Obviously because he was smoking, he slowed down the speed of the car.

And the facts also confirmed her conjecture. When she was about to reach the security booth 50 meters away, he just finished smoking, and suddenly accelerated past her.

Very arrogant and crazy driving skills.

And after that.

It's strange, I can meet him every time I go out and in.

But they didn't take the initiative to speak.

Until almost a month, she remembered that it was Arbor Day.

She bought a peach tree seedling to plant at home, and happened to meet him in the elevator.

His car was parked in the basement, and he came up from the first floor.

She walked in silently, he had already pressed the floor, 21st floor.

The elevator was very quiet, and the floor numbers jumped very slowly. Xuan Zhi was in a small space with him, and he always felt that his breathing was inexplicably turbulent, and his heart was beating so hard that it almost burst out of the wall of his heart.

Especially when she smelled the faint smell of tobacco on his body, she remembered the time when he drove the car to show her the way.

She pursed her lips, wanting to say something.

But before she could speak, he suddenly said, "I don't know your name yet."

"Ah?" She froze for a moment, thinking it was an auditory hallucination, she looked up at him.

He is very tall, and when his eyes are lowered, he looks like a prince looking down on his beloved rose, with indescribable tenderness.

"What's your name?" he asked.

This time Xuan Zhi heard it clearly, wrapped his fingers around the peach sapling in his arms, and replied weakly: "My name is Xuan Zhi."

"Xuan paper?" Chen Jingpei's expression was a little subtle.

Xuan Zhi felt that he had misunderstood it, and explained in a warm and soft voice: "Xuan tacitly, South Orange and North Orange."

The corners of Chen Jingpei's lips curled up slightly, seeming to understand: "Okay, remember."

The elevator doors opened just then.

Xuan Zhi swallowed the words to ask his name.

However, when they walked to the passage and stood in front of their respective houses, Chen Jingpei suddenly told her by himself: "My name is Chen Jingpei."

"Huh?" Xuan Zhi's reaction was half a beat slow.

Chen Jingpei also imitated her words and made sentences: "My name is Chen Jingpei. Chen who is secretive about Chen Cang, Jing who is Da Mo and Jing, and Pei who is topless and bottomless."

Xuan Zhi: "..."

Xuan Zhi's ears and cheeks burned slightly, and somehow he felt that he was playing a hooligan.

"Oh, okay, I remember." Xuan Zhi also imitated him.

Chen Jingpei said again: "Since we have exchanged names and information, we know each other. Then I want to remind you again, I am allergic to peaches. When you entered the elevator just now, you accidentally scratched the peach sapling on your hand. It's in my hands. I'm having an allergic reaction right now."

Xuan Zhi heard the words and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice it just now, I'm very sorry. I have anti-itch ointment at home, let me give you some ointment first, okay?"

Chen Jingpei didn't know what he was thinking about, and it took him a long time to respond: "That's fine."

Xuan Zhi didn't think too much, and immediately went into the house to get him some ointment.

"This is very useful." Xuan Zhi handed him the medicine, and he was even better at selling it than a medicine seller, "Just rub it on and it will relieve the itching."

Chen Jingpei lowered his eyes to look at the name of the medicine, which is specially used to treat mosquito bites.

He couldn't help laughing angrily, but he didn't say anything to her, "OK, thank you."

"However," he may have planned to plot against Xuan Zhi as early as this time: "I may not be able to rub my back."

Xuan Zhi was startled.

Chen Jingpei saw that her face was blushing so badly, she put away her fun, "Forget it, I'm just kidding you."

But since then, the intersection between her and him has become deeper and deeper...
