Return to the leisurely life on the island - Chapter 227: He Must Like You the Most

Chapter 227 He Must Like You the Most (Two in One)

"Just... have you ever... kissed secretly?"

"...?!"

Liu Zhiyi's question made Xu Cailing blush immediately.

Cai Ling's little hand pinched her ticklish spot in the quilt unhappily, and after a while she stammered and said:

"Zhiyi, you've become a bad person! Why are you asking such an embarrassing question?"

"So, is there a way?"

Liu Zhiyi looked like she was determined to get to the bottom of the matter and would not give up until Cai Ling told her.

"Of course not..."

"Really? I read in books that many childhood sweethearts do this... just secretly try it out or something?"

"No, no!"

Xu Cailing felt her pretty face getting hot. She was not lying because there really wasn't anything wrong.

The only time, or maybe not even that, was when she was watching TV. She suddenly had the urge to try it, and when Fang Wei wasn't paying attention, she leaned over and smacked him on the face...

This is definitely not what Zhiyi is talking about, right?

By the way, Zhiyi, you are too curious about my past with him, aren't you?! You have asked this more than once, huh?!

Hearing Cai Ling say no, Liu Zhiyi felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Zhiyi had asked such an outrageous question, Xu Cailing was not to be outdone. She poked her soft body and asked her in a low voice:

"Knowledge..."

"Well?"

"Well, you and Fang Wei have been sitting at the same table for so long. During class, have you ever... have you ever secretly held hands like we did when we were on the subway?"

"...?!"

Liu Zhiyi understood Cai Ling’s mood just now.

"Hmm? Zhiyi, tell me, is there any?"

Cai Ling's question made Liu Zhiyi blush with shame. She pinched her in the quilt unhappily and said hesitantly:

"Of course not... We are just deskmates, and there is no way we could do such a thing in the classroom..."

"I don't believe it, Zhiyi, you like to be sneaky the most. You two are so close, you must hold hands in class every day, right?"

"Really, really not! Even if I wanted to... No, even if he wanted to, I wouldn't agree!"

"Goose~~"

"Oh, Cai Ling, you have to believe me!"

Liu Zhiyi was about to cry, her little face was flushed red, and what the hell was that sentence "Zhiyi, you like to do things secretly the most"!

Seeing Cai Ling's unconvincing look, she didn't know how to prove her innocence.

In fact, the first time we held hands was when we were riding the subway! At most, at most, when we sat at the same table on weekdays, we would shamelessly bump shoulders and arms...

This is definitely not what Cai Ling said, right?

By the way, Cailing, you are too curious about the fact that he and I sit at the same table?! You have asked this more than once, huh?!

Seeing that Liu Zhiyi did not lie, Xu Cailing felt relieved. It was already a pity that she could not sit at the same table with Fang Wei. If more people were to sneak away, she would feel very guilty.

It was Liu Zhiyi who surrendered first. She was the one who started the conversation, but now she was defeated.

"Cai Ling, how about we change the subject?"

"Ok."

Xu Cailing thought for a moment and then asked, "Then what do you think of Fang Wei, Zhiyi?"

"..."

What's the difference between changing the topic and not changing it? ! We've changed from talking about ourselves to talking about the other party, right?

But talking about Fang Wei is always much easier to accept than talking about myself.

Liu Zhiyi moved her body, pulled the quilt up a little, and stuffed it warmly around her soft neck. She thought for a long time before saying:

"I feel Fang Wei is very mature, very good at studying, very good at interpersonal communication, and knows a lot. When I'm with him, I always feel very reliable and at ease..."

After Liu Zhiyi finished speaking, he saw Xu Cailing seemed to be thinking about something, so he asked her again: "What about you, Cailing? What do you think of Fang Wei?"

"He's such a snob! He's not as good as you say he is!"

"Cai Ling, do you really think so?"

"..."

Liu Zhiyi's words pierced the girl's heart. Xu Cailing hesitated for a while, and then she followed her example, shrinking into the quilt, lowering her voice to a low level, as if she was afraid that Fang Wei next door would hear her. She said in a low voice:

"He, he is really good... When I was a child, I loved asking him a lot of questions, such as why airplanes don't fall, why fireflies glow, and when I asked my dad, he either couldn't answer or was annoyed with me, but he never was annoyed with me. He told me whatever I asked him. He knows a lot, and he is great at everything. When we were young, we didn't have pocket money, but he made whatever I wanted for me, such as lanterns, kites, tumblers, sandbags, and he is very caring. He is great at everything. I know he often says that I am stupid, but he has never despised me for being stupid. If it weren't for him, I might have gone out to work with my sister now... And that time, my period came suddenly, and if he hadn't helped me, I don't know what to do..."

Xu Cailing was not good at summarizing, so she said a lot.

She had never said these words to Fang Wei, but she remembered everything Fang Wei did for her.

Although the girl was reluctant to admit it, she still admired and worshipped this childhood sweetheart. Compared with Fang Wei, other boys of the same age were really far behind him...

Seeing that Cai Ling talked in such detail, Liu Zhiyi also opened up and talked about many things between her and Fang Wei.

Learning to ride a bicycle together, talking about books together, jogging together in the morning, watching the sea together, and taking care of each other in the trivial daily life...

It is undeniable that if she hadn't met Fang Wei, she might still be wandering in the confusion of her parents' departure...

When talking about Fang Wei, the two girls had a lot to say. It seems that it was not an illusion that they thought Fang Wei was excellent. Even Zhiyi (Cai Ling) thought Fang Wei was excellent!

After reaching a consensus on this point, the two girls became closer. They could not tell Fang Wei these things that they could not even tell him in person, and now they could say them to each other without any scruples.

The more we talked, the more we got along, and the more we felt that the other person's vision was as good as mine!

"... Zhiyi Zhiyi, do you think he is good-looking?"

"He's good-looking! In fact, when I first transferred here, I thought he was the best-looking in our class!"

"Great, Zhiyi, it turns out that you are the pervert! You hide it so well!"

"What about you, Cailing, do you think he's good-looking?"

"Well, he looks the best anyway!"

Maybe it's because we've known each other for too long, and it's hard to express my feelings simply by saying whether he's good-looking or not, but I like him the more I look at him, and the older I get, the more I like him.

The girls became more energetic as they talked, and for a while they no longer felt sleepy.

Xu Cailing moved closer to Liu Zhiyi and asked her in a low voice:

"Zhiyi, do you like him?"

"...!!!"

Obviously, it was something that everyone knew, but Xu Cailing's direct question still made Liu Zhiyi blush.

She refused to answer Cai Ling, so she pulled up the quilt and hid inside it.

"It's time to go to bed, Cailing. It's so late. Let's go to bed!"

"No."

Xu Cailing pulled her out from under the quilt and stopped her from hiding: "We were just chatting so excitedly, you can't fall asleep, Zhiyi, tell me quickly, tell me quickly!"

Liu Zhiyi had no choice but to ask, "Then, Cailing, do you like him?"

"...!!!"

When the gun was turned around, Xu Cailing also realized the power of this question. She hesitated for a moment, her face flushed and her pupils trembling, not knowing how to answer.

In fact, both Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi knew very well that there was no need to answer this question, either for themselves or for the other party.

The two girls became quiet, and lay flat on the bed together, clutching the quilt, staring at the dim ceiling in a daze.

It’s the first time I have someone I like, and it’s the first time I have a lifelong friend. It should be double the joy, but why is it so confusing and distressing when they overlap?

God knows how we ended up talking about these things...

I never did that before, and I never thought about it.

Liu Zhiyi remained calm. She gently moved her body, temporarily skipping the questions between her and Cailing, turned her head to look at Cailing, and asked her in a low voice:

"Cai Ling, do you think... do you think Fang Wei likes us?"

"..."

Xu Cailing also turned around, and the two girls lay side by side facing each other, looking at each other carefully in the faint light in the dim space.

Cai Ling, who was extremely confident in the competition, couldn't help but feel inferior when facing Liu Zhiyi. After a while, she smiled bitterly as if she was a little uncomfortable:

"He, he definitely likes you, Zhiyi! I've known him for such a long time, I know him best. Zhiyi, you're beautiful, your grades are very good, you're a very capable person just like him, you're quiet and gentle, your skin is very fair, he definitely likes you the most..."

Zhiyi, who was extremely confident in the examination room, also felt inferior when facing Xu Cailing. She didn't listen to Cailing's words at all, but just talked to herself:

"No, Cailing, that's not the case... Although I haven't known him as long as you, I know that he is the most sentimental person. You grew up together, and you have always been a very important person in his heart. I don't know anything except good grades. I am terrible at interpersonal communication. I can't run as fast as you, jump as high as you, and I can't say clever words. He must like you the most..."

"Zhiyi, believe me, he definitely likes you the most!"

"Cai Ling, listen to me, he likes you the most!"

"I like you,"

"I like you the most,"

The two girls argued back and forth, and even gave quite logical and well-founded reasons why they liked each other, but for a moment neither of them could convince the other.

Fortunately, after receiving praise and comfort from the other party, the slight inferiority complex in my heart when facing each other disappeared.

Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi fell silent unconsciously, staring blankly at the dim ceiling...

Is it really like Zhiyi (Cai Ling) said, that Fang Wei likes me the most?

Oh my! So narcissistic! !

The girls' hearts were pounding and they all pulled up the quilts and hid in their beds.

After a while, they came out together again, lying sideways facing each other, their two pairs of big eyes looking at each other.

"Knowledge..."

"Cai Ling..."

The two of them whispered in unison: "Do you think there is a possibility... that he likes both of us at the same time?"

The same words were asked from different mouths. Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi were both stunned and looked at each other in a daze.

Xu Cailing: “…”

Liu Zhiyi: “…”

"Humph."

The girls, who were originally very good friends, suddenly became jealous and turned to the other side, lying side by side instead of facing each other, and then lying back to back.

The room fell silent.

After a long while, no one knew who moved first, the two girls turned around and faced each other again.

"Cai Ling (Zhi Yi), do you think there is a possibility that... he doesn't like both of us?"

Xu Cailing: “…”

Liu Zhiyi: “…”

As soon as these words came out, the two girls panicked for a moment, and hurriedly stuck together again, analyzing in detail the four possibilities like "Zhang Wei likes Cai Ling", "Zhang Wei likes Zhi Yi", "Zhang Wei likes both of them because he is greedy", and "Zhang Wei likes neither of them because he has no desires".

It's a pity that this kind of thing cannot be figured out by blind guessing. They talked until who knows how late it was. The girls were so sleepy that their eyelids could hardly stay open before they finally decided to end the discussion on this topic.

"Zhiyi, no matter what, we have to be together for the rest of our lives, okay?"

"Yeah! I, I thought so too!"

Liu Zhiyi quickly agreed with Xu Cailing's words.

"Then, what if he likes someone else..." Liu Zhiyi asked in a low voice.

"No! Zhiyi, do you want him to like someone else?"

"I don't..."

The two girls looked at each other, and after a night of discussion, they reached some kind of consensus and tacitly held each other's hands.

After all, they couldn't resist the sleepiness. After they relaxed, the girls who had temporarily formed an alliance clung to each other and fell asleep unconsciously. In the adjacent room, Fang Wei didn't know what kind of ownership was divided among him. He was sleeping soundly in his bed...

……

As the first rays of light in the morning dispelled the darkness in the room, the alarm clock on the bedside table rang.

This was Fang Wei’s first night sleeping in his new home. Even though it was a new environment, it was his home after all, so he slept particularly soundly.

He reached out from under the quilt and fumbled to turn off the alarm clock on the bedside table.

He lay there for a while to calm himself down, then lifted the quilt and sat up.

The room was quiet. The air conditioner had been turned off on schedule, but the air was still a little cool.

The sun hadn't risen yet and the room was dimmed. I picked up the alarm clock and saw it was 5:30 in the morning.

He leaned over to turn on the light in the room, then lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed.

It turns out that you can’t go to the toilet in the dream and you can’t touch women!

I quickly changed into a clean pair of pants.

I don’t know if Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi have woken up. Even if Fang Wei is thick-skinned enough, he is not thick enough to go out and wash his pants in front of two girls as if nothing had happened!

Fang Wei gently opened the door.

The living room was quiet. Opposite was Cai Ling's room. Her door was open, but she was not in the room. She must have gone to Zhiyi's place to sleep.

Liu Zhiyi's door was closed tightly. Fang Wei listened carefully, but did not hear any sound of them getting up.

Then he hurriedly went to the bathroom, closed the door, and quickly cleaned up his embarrassed youth...

Hang the washed pants and pajamas together on the clothesline on the balcony to dry.

Stand on the balcony and enjoy the breeze; the height of the sixteenth floor allows you to see very far.

The sun has risen in the east, but it has only been rising for a short time. The sky is a clear light blue. The haziness of the night has long dissipated. In the faint morning light, the outline of the city is clear.

It's not even six o'clock yet, and the city is still quite quiet.

Maybe it’s just right to go back to sleep so early, but getting up early is not only a habit, but also a training of mentality and will.

After admiring the morning scenery outside the balcony for a while, Fang Wei went back into the house to wash up.

At exactly six o'clock, after drinking a glass of water, Fang Wei took his cell phone, wallet and keys and prepared to go downstairs for a run.

The two girls were still asleep, and Fang Wei had no intention of calling them, but since they had made an appointment yesterday, he came over to remind them.

"Cai Ling."

"Knowledge."

"Are you awake?"

Fang Wei whispered a few words outside their door.

It's quiet inside.

When they didn't reply, he gently turned the doorknob.

The door was not locked, and he easily opened the doors of the two girls' rooms.

In the room in the early morning, soft light shines through the half-open curtains and gently falls on the bed.

Two pretty youthful faces appeared before him, sleeping soundly, looking particularly well-behaved and quiet.

But her sleeping posture was not so honest. There were two pillows on the bed, but Liu Zhiyi, who was sleeping on the inner side of the wall, did not sleep on her own pillow. Instead, she stretched out her arms and hugged Xu Cailing beside her, snuggling in her arms like a baby, with her pretty face buried in her chest.

Cai Ling was equally dishonest. She also wrapped her arms around Liu Zhiyi and hugged her like a teddy bear. She even raised one of her long legs and clamped it around her waist, holding her in her arms.

One likes to sleep while holding someone, and the other likes to be held while sleeping. The two girls sleeping together perfectly meet each other's needs.

Seeing that they were sleeping soundly, Fang Wei did not wake them up. He didn't know what time they went to bed last night. They were still sleeping like two little pigs and didn't want to get up. They didn't even notice him coming into the room.

In a daze, Xu Cailing's little hand on Liu Zhiyi's waist reached into the hem of her pajamas, lifting up a part of her pajamas, revealing an astonishing whiteness around her waist.

Liu Zhiyi seemed a little cold, so he nuzzled into Cailing's neck again, rubbing off a large area of the collar of the girl's pajamas.

Fang Wei's eyelids twitched, but he didn't dare to look at them any longer. He gently pulled up the quilt that they had kicked off and covered them up, then gently closed the door and left the room.

……

Unlike the vacancy rates of a large number of newly built buildings in later generations, although Guihua Community is a new building, its occupancy rate is still very high at this moment.

The environment of the community is naturally incomparable to the Riverside Garden where Wen Susu lives, but it is also very good, with clean and spacious sidewalks, lush greenery, a small fountain landscape, and some convenient fitness facilities. There is also a swimming pool, but there is no water in it. It is just painted blue and is purely decorative.

Fang Wei walked out while warming up. It was only six o'clock and most of the people coming in and out of the community were middle-aged and elderly people.

Unlike in the village, the human touch in the city is a little weaker. In addition, many residents have just moved in and do not know each other. They cannot even say hello when they meet.

The older generation was more lively. A few old men and women were swinging their arms and patting their bodies in the fitness area, chatting with each other.

Fang Wei didn't know them, and they didn't know Fang Wei either, but Fang Wei was very polite, and whenever someone looked at him, he would smile naturally.

"Hey boy, when did you move here?"

"Uncle, we just moved here yesterday."

"Oh! No wonder they said they hadn't seen you. Do you live alone? Haven't they seen your parents?"

"Haha, yes, I live here with my friends, and it's convenient for school."

"Where are you from?"

"Have you ever been to Pineapple Island?"

"Oh! I've been there! A lot of people on your island are doing mussel farming now, right?"

"correct."

"You are in high school, right? Where do you study?"

"It's next door to No. 1 Middle School."

"Hey! That's good! He's much better at studying than my grandson!"

Fang Wei really likes chatting with these old men and women. This kind of casual conversation without any purpose is also a way of relaxation for him.

The old men and women also liked him very much. Unlike other impetuous young people, Fang Wei had a calm and leisurely temperament. They all praised him for being so great and for living here so far away from home.

With the continuous development of urbanization, human touch is becoming weaker and weaker, especially in big cities. It is very common for neighbors to not know each other. These old men and women have become the least adaptable group. If they do not want to help take care of their grandchildren and share housework, many of them would rather stay in their hometown in the countryside.

Next to the activity area was a notice board, and Fang Wei found a conspicuous spot to post the rental advertisement he brought with him.

Another house in the same community has not been rented out yet, so this job has to be done.

Seeing him posting the notice, the old man and the old woman came over curiously with their hands behind their backs.

"Xiao Fang, are you still looking for a place to rent?"

"Did you write this notice yourself? Your handwriting is really good!"

"Haha, yes, there is a vacant apartment next door that I am planning to rent out. Uncles and aunties, if you know anyone who wants to rent a house, can you introduce them to me?"

"Okay, it's just a side thing!"

"Thank you, uncle and aunt!"

"What's the big deal? Are you going to school so early in the morning?"

"No, I plan to go for a run and exercise!"

"Sure, Xiao Fang!"

"I go first!"

Fang Wei smiled brightly and jogged out of the community.

When people get older, they like to communicate with young people like this. This guy is really good. Apart from anything else, there are really not many young people who can patiently chat with a bunch of old bones like this...

……

At around six o'clock, the city gradually became lively.

Early risers have already started to hurry on their way, buses and motorcycles are shuttling on the road, and horns are occasionally heard, but they do not sound harsh.

The breakfast stall at the entrance of the community has also started business, with the aroma of hot buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk filling the air. The stall owner is busy and skilled, with customers coming in an endless stream, some queuing in front of the stall, and some already eating their breakfast while walking.

The vegetable market not far away also began to get lively, with vendors shouting their wares and the sounds of bargaining rising and falling. Occasionally, a small tricycle loaded with goods would stray into the alley, which would be enough to block the narrow alley.

This is the most common impression of third- and fourth-tier small cities in the transition period of development. After all, a few years ago, this area was still a rural area.

There were no good places to jog nearby, so Fang Wei jogged all the way to Jingui Citizen Park near the community.

It's quieter here, with less traffic.

The park is basically filled with old men and women, or parents with children. Some are walking slowly, practicing Tai Chi, and some are chatting under the shade of trees.

Fang Wei ran past them with the sound of running footsteps, occasionally scaring away a few water birds on the lake, causing ripples.

As a free public park, its area is not very large. By counting the number of steps he took while running at a constant speed, Fang Wei estimated that one lap is only about one kilometer.

He ran five laps in a row before he slowed down, panting and sweating profusely...

The phone in my pocket rang.

I picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from someone with the note 'Cai Ling'.

When the call was connected, it was Liu Zhiyi's voice that came.

Fang Wei was so stunned that he took the phone away from his ear and looked at the number on the screen. It was indeed the number ending in '1616', right? !

"crooked……?"

"Huh~ What's the matter? Huh~"

"Where are you? We didn't see you when we went to your room."

"Huh~ I'm running~ Huh~ You guys sneaked into my room again to scare me, right?"

"No, no!" Zhiyi denied. Subconsciously, she looked up to see if there were any cameras in the room. Why could Fang Wei always guess what they were doing?

"hehe."

Fang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, luckily he ran early today.

"Didn't we agree to go jogging together? Why did you go jogging alone?" The phone was probably on speakerphone, and the voice that came out at this moment was Cai Ling's.

The two girls were in his room at the moment, and when they saw that he was not in the room, they sat on his bed together.

I originally planned to sneak into his room and give him a scare, but in the end I failed.

"Huh~ You still have the nerve to say that? What time is it now? I just went to call you and you were still sleeping like pigs!"

"You are a pig!" "You are a pig!"

"..."

"Where are you now? Let's go find you!"

"I'm done running, and I'm ready to go back!"

"goodbye!"

"Hey, what do you want to eat for breakfast? I'll bring it up."

"What's for breakfast?"

"steamed stuffed bun."

"Then I want a meat bun and a custard bun!" said Cai Ling.
