Chapter 115 115 Coward

The late-night phone chat continued, but Xu Zhe quickly changed the topic from love and continued to run wildly on the historical trajectory of philosophy.From classical idealism, to dialectics, the origin of materialism, to phenomenology and existentialism... When Xu Zhe talked about Heidegger and Sartre, there was finally no response from the other end of the phone.

"Are you asleep?"

He whispered a tentative sentence, and then waited for more than ten seconds, and there was silence.

"Okay, good night."

Xu Zhe finished speaking softly and hung up the phone.

Look at the time displayed on the screen again. Good guy, it's ten minutes past one in the morning.

Since he stopped mining, he rarely slept so late.After all, he also knew very well that the age of thirteen or fourteen was the age of development. Sufficient sleep was needed to ensure that he would be as tall as a human in the future.

He put down his phone and closed his eyes.

But thinking about a little improvisation he made during the day, Song Xingye could not sleep... In the dark night, he laughed silently for a long time.

----

The next morning, Song Xingye rode his bicycle to the gate of the community and waited for the pair of childhood sweethearts walking side by side.

Xu Zhe and Tang Lingfei were talking and laughing.However, the main person talking was Tang Lingfei, and the one smiling was also Tang Lingfei.Xu Zhe was responsible for complimenting her, adding a word or two from time to time to make Xiao Qingmei speak more interestingly.

Song Xingye pushed the cart to meet the two of them.Then, he silently stepped in between the two of them.

Tang Lingfei suddenly stopped talking and stared at her best friend for a while.

Song Xingye couldn't help but feel nervous, and his steps became a little stiff.

But the next moment Tang Lingfei spoke, it was not to point out her ambition, but to express concern: "Little Ye Zi, why do you have dark circles under your eyes? Did you not sleep well?"

Song Xingye breathed a sigh of relief, but then, a feeling of guilt arose spontaneously.She could only answer vaguely: "A little bit of insomnia, it's nothing."

But Tang Lingfei held on to her: "Why do you have insomnia? Why?"

Song Xingye glanced at Xu Zhe secretly, debating whether or not to tell the story about the middle-of-the-night phone call - but this look caused the other client to misunderstand.

Xu Zhe thought that the girl wanted him to speak for her, so he said, "Because Xingye couldn't sleep last night, she called me. The chat might have been a bit long. She seemed to have fallen asleep when she finally hung up the phone. , but it’s already one o’clock in the morning.”

Tang Lingfei: "Okay, you guys, have a night talk behind my back!"

Song Xingye: "..."

What should I do, how should I explain it to my best friend?

Then I heard Tang Lingfei ask: "Why didn't you call me!?"

Song Xingye blurted out: "Next time I will definitely ask you to come with me!"

Xu Zhe also said: "Yes, I will definitely do it next time."

Then Tang Lingfei seemed to have no objection.

Song Xingye secretly observed her best friend's expression and made sure that she really didn't think any deeper, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the three of them passed by the breakfast shop. Xu Zhe and Tang Lingfei each bought steamed buns and soy milk and ate them while walking.Song Xingye didn't need it, because her father prepared breakfast at home and asked her to eat it before going out.

Continuing on the road, Tang Lingfei asked while chewing the buns: "Little Ye Zi, why did you have insomnia last night?"

Song Xingye had to explain again: "Because I have a rich imagination and a weak courage, I never dare to read horror novels and horror movies..."

Tang Lingfei: "Oh, I understand, you read ghost stories by yourself last night."

Song Xingye: "I didn't read it, but Xu Zhe told me one at school yesterday." Tang Lingfei swallowed a mouthful of soy milk, looked at the boy, and asked, "What ghost story are you telling that is so scary?"

Xu Zhe came close to Tang Lingfei and recited to her in a low voice the short passage taught in yesterday's Chinese class to prevent Song Xingye from hearing it again and deepening her memory.

After he finished speaking, Tang Lingfei was still asking: "What next?"

"Then it's gone." Xu Zhe spread his hands. "It's really only such a short section, and I don't think it's scary at all."

Song Xingye immediately argued: "You yourself said that everyone has different ideas. You don't think it's scary, I think it's scary. Isn't this normal!"

However, one second the girl finished speaking plausibly, and the next second she felt a gust of wind behind her head.

A voice that seemed to come out of a horror movie, and it was the kind of female ghost who was asking for her life, said faintly: "Why are you afraid? I was floating on you all night last night..."

"Ahhhh-"

Song Xingye jumped away like an electric shock, and even knocked the cup out of Tang Lingfei's hand, causing the soy milk to spill all over the floor.Even Tang Lingfei's left shoe was half wet.

This reaction stunned both Xu Zhe and Tang Lingfei.

After a short silence, Xu Zhe said: "You are indeed quite timid."

Tang Lingfei lowered her head and looked at the spilled soy milk and her left foot, and murmured: "It's not that bad, you never told me before..."

Song Xingye glared at her and said angrily: "I can't tell you everything!"

Tang Lingfei: "But you clearly told me when you had your first period and when you bought the sanitary napkins!"

Xu Zhe: "..."

He wanted to say, otherwise, just think that I don’t exist.

Song Xingye was almost furious: "Feifei!"

Only then did Tang Lingfei realize that she had let something slip, as if she had revealed something terrible.She shrank her neck: "I'm sorry, but your reaction scared me..."

Song Xingye: "You scared me first, and you talked nonsense!"

For adolescent girls, there are some taboo topics that should never be mentioned in front of boys.What's more, is it a boy that I have a crush on?
If it were the previous Song Xingye, he might have thought about breaking off the relationship.

But at this time, looking at the guilty and embarrassed girl in front of him, Song Xingye took a few deep breaths and gradually suppressed the emotions that almost exploded.

Song Xingye took a step forward and stood a short distance in front of Tang Lingfei, then whispered: "You have to say, I'm sorry."

"I..." Tang Lingfei took her hand, "I'm sorry."

Song Xingye closed his eyes and was silent for a while.

Tang Lingfei looked at her expression anxiously and repeated, "I'm sorry, little Ye Zi."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Xingye suddenly opened his arms and hugged Tang Lingfei.

As for Xu Zhe on the side, he was eating steamed buns and drinking soy milk, watching the two girls' bestie love drama in front of him, as if he was a close audience.

Song Xingye whispered: "I'm really very timid, please don't scare me in the future, okay?"

Tang Lingfei nodded vigorously: "I won't do it again in the future!"
