i was my mistake

White walls and black tiles, continuous rain.

Tall electric poles stood tall, and the dense wires were like a large net, intertwined and covering the entire sky.

"Boom—" A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and the silent earth was called, about to wake up from the winter sleep.

It's raining, but it doesn't feel cold, but it makes people feel cool.

The windows of the house were open, letting the wind blow into the house.

Time slowed down at this moment, and the cup of brewed tea seemed to never cool down.

The tape player that was playing classical harp music suddenly heard a soft 'click' sound.

Wan Qing, who was sitting by the window, opened the cover of the tape player casually, turned the tape over, and the melodious music flowed quietly from inside again.

"Huh..." Holding the teacup in both hands, she took a sip, but her eyes never moved away from the window where the drizzle was falling.

Ye Chen opened the 'Pandora's Box' that turned her into a girl, took out the presents from her father one by one, and wiped them gently with a clean towel.

She looked at the golden bronze mirror, combed her hair with the thick wooden handle, and finally took out the pair of silver bracelets.

The bracelet has been placed for a long time, and the luster seems a bit dull, but carefully wiping it with a towel can make it shine again.

She tried to put it on, shook her wrist slightly, and couldn't help but imagine that she was a gentle lady, and she was wearing those exquisite and beautiful jewelry before going out...

Wan Qing looked away from the window and looked elsewhere lazily.

It happened to see Ye Chen who was immersed in his own world at this time.

I saw her lightly flicking the bracelet on the white lotus root arm, her eyes drooping slightly, her lips pursed lightly, with a gentle and ladylike smile.

No matter how similar two people are, they can still feel the difference after getting along for a long time.

Everyone has their own idiosyncrasies, their own personality.

And these can often be seen through the expression on the face and subtle movements.

So at this moment, Wan Qing had an illusion—as if the soul contained in Ye Chen's body was no longer Ye Chen.

"What are you doing? A ghost is on your body?"

"...Cough!!" Ye Chen coughed hard, "Can you say something good?"

"Oh, it's normal now."

"...I just want to learn how ladies laugh."

"Why do you learn that thing?" Wan Qing held her chin, "I said, don't you already like being a girl?"

Ye Chen turned his back and ignored her.

"Hello? No way? True or false? Generally speaking, aren't they forced to accept? At your age, even if you can accept it, you have to resist it for a long time. According to the logic, at least three years Three years! You just accept it?"

"Since you can only be a girl, of course..."

"Tch, do you think you believe such words?"

"... Well, I just think that being a girl is actually quite good. You can act cute or act like a baby, and you can look in the mirror to make yourself happy, okay?" Ye Chen rolled his eyes, as if he was late on purpose Sunny just said that.

"Then—pretend to be cute for me to see?"

"Slightly slightly—" Ye Chen turned around and made a grimace.

But it's really... pretty cute.

"Excellent, in terms of being a girl, it seems that I have to call you senior."

"You, you, don't say such disgusting things that make people hurt, hurt..."

Wan Qing drooped her eyelids, she clearly felt that Ye Chen was having fun.

She turned her head, looked at the drizzle outside the window, and suddenly couldn't stop laughing.

"You, you are not allowed to laugh!"

"...Cough, um, I didn't laugh."

"..."

"Shall we go out to play?"

"Why, it's raining."

"It's only interesting when it rains, and the rain in spring is not cold."

"..."

"Let me take a look." Wan Qing stood up and rummaged through the closet, "Oh, yes, it's the dress that I gave you last year. At that time..."

"what?"

"It's nothing." Seeing that Ye Chen didn't remember when it was delivered, he didn't continue, "It's very suitable for spring, just wear a coat over it."

"Is there such a way to wear it, a dress and a coat?"

"Yes, I see that's how it is worn in anime." She took out the pantyhose from the drawer below and threw it on the bed, "Here, this is the super pantyhose, put it on, you can defeat the sun monster."

"What is that and what..."

"Haha, forget it, you still don't understand these stalks." Wan Qing tilted her head and looked at Ye Chen, "Wear it? It won't be cold, don't worry."

"how about you?"

"Me? I wear pants."

"...Why am I wearing a skirt."

"What, aren't you also looking forward to going out in a nice dress? Of course I'll let you have the nice clothes."

"I do not have!"

"Okay, okay, don't explain." Wan Qing sighed and shook her head, "Who doesn't know your little thoughts, put it on quickly, I'll wait for you in the living room."

After a while, Ye Chen carefully pushed open the bedroom door, saw his father subconsciously turned his head to look this way, and hurriedly closed the door again.

In fact, I wasn't that shy before, probably because I wore it with Wan Qing every time, and Yi's thick skin also gave her some.

And there is another difference today, that is... Although it seems that Wan Qing asked her to wear it, in fact, she really wanted to wear it herself.

Shame rose from the bottom of her heart, and she took several deep breaths before pushing the door and walking out.

"Why? Are you shy? It's really like the eldest lady is out of the boudoir." Wan Qing squinted at her, bent down and put on her shoes, "Aren't you afraid to face your heart?"

"What...and what..." She swallowed hard, glanced at her father who was watching TV secretly, and walked to the door carefully and quickly, which was the blind spot of her father's sight, and then she was slightly relieved. "I just suddenly forgot to put on the headband just now..."

"Really, I clearly saw that you opened the door."

"cough!!"

"Have you had a fever?"

Ye Chen finally didn't answer this time. She probably realized that she couldn't say anything about Wan Qing, so she tried to widen her eyes, trying to intimidate her.

However, on that reddish little face, the roving eyes will not make people feel scared at all no matter how wide they are opened.

Wan Qing squinted her eyes, stood on tiptoe and put her hand on her head: "Hoo, good little sister~"

"……Hey!"

Obviously Ye Chen is much taller, but the aura of the two is much different.

"Go out to play in the rain, be careful not to catch a cold." The father's voice was mixed with the sound of the TV, which seemed a little vague.

"Understood, dad." Wan Qing closed the door smoothly, and looked up and down at Ye Chen who had already put on his coat.

"What, what..."

"Well, it's not bad!" She gave a thumbs up, "It's very girly."

"Who asked you this..."

"Oh, you're still wearing a scarf."

"I'm afraid if it's cold..."

"Split me a little?"

"..." Ye Chen froze for a few seconds, then pulled the scarf off like a big roll, and slowly wrapped it around Wan Qing's neck.

The two stuck together and walked into the elevator side by side.

The elevator has been cleaned long ago, but every time Wan Qing stands here, she always feels that she can smell a very strong smell of alcohol...

Today is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and most of the shops on the street have reopened.

There are also a few two that have been refurbished and redecorated. It seems that the original store has been transferred out and handled by other people.

The two that disappeared were restaurants, and the new ones seemed to be a barber shop and a wonton shop.

Probably because of the rain, the street is not so lively, but it is not too deserted. In the small phone shop on the side of the road, there are several people holding their receivers, talking loudly or softly. .

Some people told their parents the good news of passing the exam; some told their parents that they rented a house and were looking for a job, so they should not worry; some were in touch with their lovers, enjoying the breath of spring together in the drizzle.

Several key high schools and junior high schools have already started school, and the voices of students can be faintly heard coming from the teaching building.

However, ordinary high schools like Yinjiang High School do not start school until after the Lantern Festival.

The two held a big umbrella and walked side by side.

Ye Chen grasped the upper part, while Wan Qing grasped the lower part.

The raindrops tapped lightly on the umbrella surface, forming one transparent note after another.

At the corner of the street with a little more traffic, an old man was selling roasted sweet potatoes in front of a small rust-red cart.

His ungloved hands were as rough as tree bark.

In the rain, a curl of green smoke rises from the roasted sweet potato stall, drifting melodiously into the distance.

Along the way, the busiest ones seemed to be those few flower shops. Many people gathered in front of each shop, and those who left were holding a large bouquet of flowers in their hands.

And it seems that most of them are young people.

They shaved their beards clean, combed their hair neatly, and even put on oil on their scalps. Wearing pointed leather shoes, they looked as if they were going to meet the girl they liked.

"Hey, why is the business of the flower shop so good today? And the fruit shop... the business is also very good."

"Idiot, you don't even think about what day it is today."

"What day?"

"..." Wan Qing glanced at her suspiciously, and found that she was really dazed, then sighed, "It's Valentine's Day, don't you read the calendar?"

"I don't have a lover, so why look at that thing if I have nothing to do." Ye Chen rolled his eyes, "No wonder, because it's Valentine's Day, so many young people go to buy flowers and fruits, but... it seems that they are all men. of."

"Well, that's the advantage of women. You can just sit at home and wait for a man to come to pursue you. You don't need to take the initiative."

Ye Chen rolled his eyes, and was too lazy to talk to her about this topic: "It seems that some older people are also buying."

"That's true romance..."

"You double standard, next year the older ones will also be men..."

……

114. My love

The rain is like a disconnected kite line, one after another, falling on the eaves, umbrellas, and the ground, but quietly disappeared.

The ground is only wet, and there is not much water. Only when you see a small puddle occasionally can you see their traces.

The two of them didn't seem to have any purpose, just strolling leisurely in the rain like this, unknowingly, they had opened up a lot of distance from the apartment, and when they reached Yan'an Road, there was only one traffic light away from Wulin Square.

There was a busy big flower shop in the square. Although it only sold flowers, it had three doors. At this time, the guests at the door gathered together, waiting anxiously for their flowers to be wrapped.

"Is Valentine's Day a traditional holiday?"

"Nonsense, no."

"Oh, yes, our traditional Valentine's Day should be Qixi Festival?"

"Yeah." Wan Qing brushed her long hair - she was too lazy to tie her hair when she went out on weekdays, so she would just wear her long hair like this.
