"Mr. Xie, is that you?"

As soon as Xie Chenwei saw the name of this seaside city, he realized that Chu Xia must have chosen it by himself, because this city is only three hours' drive from Rong Gang, and it was the place where Xie Chenwei took Chu Xia to celebrate his birthday last time.

Xie Chenwei always thought that Chu Xia was far away in the world, but he didn't expect that he was so close to him. He wished he could set off to find Chu Xia now.

Xie Chenwei imagined the scene of reuniting with Chu Xia countless times in his mind, he thought he would ask Chu Xia face to face, why did he leave him in such a decisive way?Is there not even the most basic trust between them, otherwise how could he not feel a little nostalgia for Chu Xia?

He also wanted to ask Chu Xia if he didn't have his mobile phone these days, or if he lost it because of carelessness, otherwise why the messages sent to him were like disappearing into the sea, and he never replied?

Because there were too many problems in his heart, and he had too much anticipation for the meeting, Xie Chenwei almost had no sleep all night.However, the next day, Xie Chenwei still woke up early without feeling sleepy. After washing up, he chose a casual suit that Chu Xia liked, and then drove off by himself.

The car drove very fast, and when it was time for lunch, he came to this seaside city.With the help of navigation, Xie Chenwei traveled across the whole city, and finally found Chu Xia's repeat school. Xie Chenwei couldn't restrain the excessive beating of his heart, and his mood was even more exciting than when he was admitted to the university for the first time and reported to the school.

This middle school is a boarding school with strict management and students are not allowed to go out at will.When Xie Chenwei arrived at the school, it was the time for the students to go to the cafeteria to eat after school at noon.

Xie Chenwei stood beside the tree-lined road of the school road, listening to the campus radio playing popular songs about youth confusion, he was blowing the humid sea breeze unique to seaside cities, watching the blue and white school uniforms walking by in front of him, playing in small groups from time to time.The noisy middle school student, Xie Chenwei felt that even if he was not wearing a suit, he was still a bit out of place with these youthful young faces.

The previous feeling of sending Chu Xia to take the art test came back, and Xie Chenwei felt very clearly that he was now the parent of a certain student in this school.

In order not to cause unnecessary embarrassment and trouble to Chu Xia, even though Xie Chenwei knew which class he was in, he still did not choose to go to him directly, but went to the office of the senior year to find the head teacher of Chu Xia's current class.

Teacher Yuan, the class teacher, is a middle-aged man with a slightly fatter appearance, and looks very kind.It may be because the sponsorship fee Zhu Ying gave to the school was very considerable before, and Teacher Yuan was very enthusiastic about Xie Chenwei.

He first asked about the relationship between Xie Chenwei and Chu Xia, and Xie Chenwei subconsciously replied that he was his brother.But seeing the doubt in Teacher Yuan's eyes, Xie Chenwei realized that he and Chu Xia were not only quite different in age, but also looked nothing alike. This statement was too unbelievable.

So he quickly explained: "I am his distant cousin, but I have a very good relationship."

Teacher Yuan nodded, as if he believed his words.He told Xie Chenwei about Chu Xia's study and life at school in the past few months.

He said that although Chu Xia's academic performance is not top-notch, especially his math performance is relatively average, he studies very hard and is willing to ask teachers and classmates for advice, so he has made great progress in several mock tests.

Xie Chenwei carefully analyzed Xia Chuxia's several exam results, and found that compared with the previous ones, he had indeed made great progress, which showed that Chu Xia did not give up on himself during this period.

Chu Xia seems to be able to live well in a place that he can't see or control. This incident makes Xie Chenwei happy, but it's hard to be really happy deep in his heart.

In a hidden corner of Xie Chenwei's heart, there is a sense of crisis slowly growing, that is, Chu Xia can live well without him, and he is not as dependent on him as he imagined.

Teacher Yuan went on to say that Chu Xia's ability to adapt to life is much better than that of ordinary transfer students.Because he is enthusiastic and a little older than his classmates, he was elected as the head of the dormitory by the classmates in the same dormitory, and the dormitory he lives in has been rated as a star civilized dormitory many times.

Hearing what he said, Xie Chenwei, who had been a student for many years, already roughly understood what was going on.

He speculated that the real situation is mostly because the students in the dormitory are not willing to clean up. After all, in the third year of high school, whose time is not precious?In addition, Chu Xia is the kind of person who doesn't like to argue with others, so most of the dormitory cleaning is done by himself.

Xie Chenwei couldn't help but began to worry that Chu Xia was being bullied at school, and after learning that although this school is considered a good middle school in the city, the rate of graduates' admission to higher education through heavy capital is less than 30%, Xie Chenwei still endured it.I couldn't stop asking the class teacher about transferring to another school.

His question immediately made the old class teacher look embarrassed. Although what Teacher Yuan said was tactful, he expressed his opposition firmly.

Teacher Yuan said earnestly: "The college entrance examination is about to take place in two months, so it's not good to change schools so frequently? Besides, it's hard for Chu Xia to adapt to our school this semester. Isn't it necessary to start all over again if you change places?"

His words made Xie Chenwei silent for a while, but after thinking about it, Xie Chenwei admitted that his words were indeed reasonable.He always thought of himself as a good thing for Chu Xia, and did it directly, rarely considering Chu Xia's own wishes seriously.

Xie Chenwei suddenly realized, if this has always been the case, then what is the difference between him and his mother?

He is just under the guise of love, and changed his appearance "it's all for your own good".

Therefore, Xie Chenwei told Teacher Yuan not to tell Chu Xia that he came to see him, and then asked him for Chu Xia's schedule and the specific location of his class.

Because he wasted the precious lunch break time of the third-year teacher, and thinking that he might trouble him further in the future, Xie Chenwei offered to donate a batch of new books to the school library.If the house is not big enough, you can also consider expanding the library.

In fact, during the rest time in the school's VIP reception room, Xie Chenwei began to fantasize about what kind of scene it would be when he meets Chu Xia today.

Although fantasizing about meeting Chu Xia was the only motivation for him to live during this time, he still had to admit that the words of teacher Yuan, the teacher in charge, made sense, and Xie Chenwei began to unconsciously recall the love that Chu Xia gave him before he left.The contents of the letter left behind.

"The abandoned cat effect means that a cat that has been discarded will be very good after being picked up again."

"There can be no true love between two people of unequal status."

"I've always wondered what my life would be like without your help."

When Chu Xia had just left, Xie Chenwei’s emotions were so ups and downs because of the huge blow he had suffered, and he didn’t have time to seriously understand what these words meant. He just felt that every sentence was an excuse for him to leave him.I'm stabbing a knife in my heart.

But now that he has calmed down and looked at it again, the words Chu Xia told him might not be his true words.Combined with the fact that Chu Xia used to be a cat he raised, it is even easier to understand.

One of the most obvious truths about the relationship between owners and pets is that the status between owners and pets can never be equal.A person who likes pets can keep many pets at the same time, but as a pet, he is definitely not qualified to require the owner to only keep one pet.

And even if the owner really loves his pet, he may be able to treat him like family.But no owner will put their pets on an equal footing with themselves, and of course there is no such requirement as a kitten or puppy.It is the fate of captives to spend their whole life at home obediently waiting for the owner to get off work, and to accompany the owner to make them happy.

However, Chu Xia is a very special pet, and by some kind of coincidence, it becomes a human.Although Xie Chenwei has never heard Chu Xia talk about this matter, it is conceivable that Chu Xia must have experienced a lot of setbacks and blows during the initial period of becoming a human being.I also learned a lot about how to be a human being.

Xie Chenwei began to recall every dispute between himself and Chu Xia in his mind. In those unpleasant quarrels, he found that whenever there was a disagreement between them, almost without exception, Chu Xia voluntarily gave in.Xie Chenwei seems to be getting more and more used to Chu Xia's infinite tolerance and dependence on herself, and even unconsciously takes all this for granted.

Whenever Chu Xia showed that he wanted to resist the seedling head a little bit, Xie Chenwei would show obvious anger and even use cold violence.Although Xie Chenwei never knew Chu Xia was his cat before, it is hard to say that he did not regard him as his "pet" in his heart, as his own personal property.

That's why Xie Chenwei always selfishly wanted to completely occupy Chu Xia's goodness, and had the idea of hiding him many times and not wanting to be shared with others.

However, just like a child will grow up and slowly leave his parents, since Chu Xia has become a person, he will have someone's appeal and his own sense of independence.Even if Chu Xia was really his own kitten, he cannot be his pet forever now, just like Xie Chenwei's mother cannot control him forever.

When Xie Chenwei cut open his heart inch by inch, he realized how much his mother had influenced him.Even though he hated his mother's autocracy, arrogance and selfishness so much, he couldn't deny that there were so many similarities between him and his mother.

The seventh class in the afternoon was a physical education class, and the window of the VIP lounge where Xie Chenwei was located happened to face the school's basketball court.Standing in front of the window, Xie Chenwei could clearly see that Chu Xia was playing basketball with the male students in his class.

Chu Xia is not too tall among a group of big boys, and his dribbling and pitching skills are not too good, but Xie Chenwei still found that no matter who is in the crowd, he likes to pass the ball to Chu Xia.

Xie Chenwei doesn't like this kind of fierce confrontational sports, because he always feels a bit too barbaric.

He was very unhappy when he saw that Chu Xia was bumped into shoulders, heads, and even hit his chest on the basketball court from time to time.But he also has to admit that the current early summer seems to be stronger than before, and his figure running on the court looks very energetic.

Xie Chenwei stared intently at Chu Xia's figure on the court for a while, until a few dark clouds floated in the sky, and suddenly it started to rain, so Xie Chenwei saw Chu Xia and the boys on the basketball court had to leave, and walked with him.Discussing the game just now with unsatisfactory emotions.

Xie Chenwei saw that Chu Xia touched the sweat on his forehead. He bent down and put his hands on his knees, looking out of breath. At this time, a tall boy with wheat-colored skin next to him probably felt that Chu Xia was thirsty.Give him a bottle of his own half-drunk drink.

Xie Chenwei's heart seemed to tighten suddenly. He was very worried that Chu Xia would drink his water because of thirst, resulting in an indirect kiss with that boy.It's nothing.

Fortunately, Chu Xia took a look at the drink, and although he looked thirsty, he finally waved at the boy and refused.

However, Xie Chenwei had just let go of his heart for a second, when he saw the boy stretch out his too long arm, wrap it around Chu Xia's shoulders, and walk towards the teaching building as if engulfing him.

What made Xie Chenwei even more concerned was that no matter how excessive the boy's behavior was in his opinion, Chu Xia never showed any discomfort.

Xie Chenwei watched them walk to the teaching building with such an intimate posture, and they did not separate until they entered the canteen on the first floor.When they came out again, the boy and Chu Xia were each holding a macaron-colored ice cream bought from a canteen.

Seeing this, Xie Chenwei still failed to be a bystander who had nothing to do with himself after all. He quickly went downstairs unknowingly, and followed him to the teaching building like a ghost.

Because other classes in the teaching building were still in class, it was very quiet. Xie Chenwei quickly found Chu Xia's class, because he was too conspicuous among a group of middle school students, so he didn't dare to get too close.

But even if he only saw the back of Chu Xia's Yuanyuan's head from a distance, he could still imagine how Chu Xia eats ice cream. He would gently lick the ice cream that was about to melt with the tip of his pink tongue, and sometimes he would unconsciously lick it.A fingertip smudged with runny cream...

Because Xie Chenwei has seen such charming scenes too many times in the past, and occasionally appeared in his indescribable dreams.However, this time the person who sat beside Chu Xia and watched him eat ice cream was not himself, which also made Xie Chenwei grieve.

Chu Xia and that boy were sitting side by side, from Xie Chenwei's point of view, their heads were almost together, eating ice cream while chatting enthusiastically, Xie Chenwei could even see Chu Xia's shoulders shaking from laughing all the time.

Xie Chenwei couldn't help getting closer and closer as if he was in a trance, until his appearance caught the attention of a girl who was doing homework in the class at this time.Soon she told her deskmate, and then more and more classmates began to look in his direction, until the boys around Chu Xia were also affected, turning their heads to look...

At that moment, Xie Chenwei finally realized his absurdity and recklessness. No matter how uncomfortable he was, he couldn't get angry at Chu Xia willfully in front of so many people, and he didn't know what position he should take to get angry at Chu Xia now..

After reacting, Xie Chenwei quickly turned and left, and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor. When he found that this was a men's bathroom, he hurried into one of the cubicles.

As soon as he entered the compartment, he heard a rush of footsteps, and they were getting closer and closer to him.It was obvious that someone was following him. At that moment, Xie Chenwei felt as if he was a pervert stalking a middle school student. He held his breath and remained motionless.

The visitor stopped in front of the door of his cubicle, and after realizing that the door would not move, he seemed to hesitate for a moment outside the door... After a long, long time, Xie Chenwei finally heard that familiar and gentle voice again, "Mr. Xie, is that you?"

Hearing Chu Xia's voice again made Xie Chenwei feel as if he had passed away. At that moment, he forgot what the teacher in charge said just now, and completely forgot all the plans he had made in the VIP lounge of the school a few hours ago.I don't want to ask Chu Xia why she left, why she ignored herself...

Now Xie Chenwei just wants to rush out to hug him well, tell him the lingering and warm miss for him these past few months, want to kiss his lips that are swollen after eating ice cream again, and he wants to taste the taste of early summer againsweet taste.

However, at the moment when Xie Chenwei was about to open the latch, the class bell rang suddenly, and the bell lasted for a long time.

When the bell finally stopped, a boy with a thick voice asked, "Chu Xia, why don't you go to class?"

Chu Xia hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I have something to do."

The boy said again: "Old Ban has something to do with you, you should go back quickly!"

What Chu Xia asked later, Xie Chenwei couldn't hear clearly, because their footsteps were getting farther and farther away, and the boy seemed to drag Chu Xia away forcibly.

Xie Chenwei finally lost the best chance to meet Chu Xia. After he left school that night, he went to the seaside where he took photos with Chu Xia and watched the fireworks show. He sat alone from three o'clock in the afternoon until the whole day.black.

He looked at the romantic scenery of the sea and the sky, and listened to the rhythmic sound of the waves hitting the beach. He thought for a long time, and finally decided to respect Chu Xia's idea.

No matter how much he doesn't want to admit it, Xie Chenwei still understands that Chu Xia's current situation is enough to prove that he can take good care of himself without his help.Facts have proved that he needs Chu Xia far more than Chu Xia needs himself.

Xie Chenwei decided to give Chu Xia time and freedom to prove himself. He didn't know how long he could last, but he decided not to bother Chu Xia at least before the college entrance examination, but he could treat him well in any way he could think of.

From that day on, Chu Xia often received all kinds of delicious food sent to him by unknown people, sometimes it was a seafood feast, sometimes it was some fresh fruit, and each time the portion was large, enough for a classmate in a dormitory to eat for a long time.

Because the dormitory students are not allowed to use mobile phones at all, and it is impossible to blatantly receive express delivery, so these delicious food are almost all collected by the class teacher Lao Yuan to help Chu Xia.

Until one time, Chu Xia couldn't bear it any longer, and ran to the office to ask Lao Yuan face to face, who sent these things to him. Lao Yuan was burying his head in eating a big and crisp cantaloupe, and raised his head after eating,Slowly said: "It was sent by your mother."

"Mom?" Chu Xia was even more confused, because he did talk to his mother and brother on the phone, but he didn't dare to reveal his current address to them.

"It's the mother who helped you with the transfer procedures before, that's her—Ms. Zhu Ying." After speaking, Lao Yuan took out a courier box, and he pointed to the sender's name and address to show it to Chu Xia, proving himselfWhat you said is true.
