Jiangcheng in midsummer is worthy of the name of the four major stoves. Under the high temperature, even the air has a sense of being roasted. The heat waves visible to the naked eye began to roll continuously with the sound of cicadas.
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi sat on the bench in the community. They were under the shade of the tree, shaking their shirts while watching several children playing hopscotch in sweat.
“Tomorrow is Yuanyuan’s 18th birthday.”
“Yes, yes.”
Lin Youxi tilted her head and looked at Xia Yuan, “Didn’t you want?”
Xia Yuan seemed a little guilty, “I have done everything I want at the beginning of the year. I really can’t think of anything else to do. The rest can only wait for our Afang to grow up.”
“However, Afang has been doing his best to prepare your 18-year-old adult gift for you during this period. You should feel it, right?”
“Hmm…”
Xia Yuan nodded gently, and just as she was about to talk, Mei Fang had already walked over.
“Give it, you guys want it.”
“It turns out that you can buy Qiaolezi here, it’s great. What do you eat with Youxi?”
“Green Star Love.” Lin Youxi’s teeth lightly opened.
“Yeah, this mung bean popsicle is delicious too!”
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi took the packaging bag open and handed it to Mei Fang and started eating it. Mei Fang threw the bag into the trash can, and then took out the pieces of ice he bought.
He twisted it into two pieces with the broken ice, and then sat down next to Lin Youxi.
“It’s so hot outside, why don’t we just blow the air conditioner at home?”
“Just come to feel the breath of summer. It’s not good to stay in the air-conditioned room all the time.”
Lin Youxi ate what was in her mouth, but her eyes were staring at Mei Fang’s half-broken ice.
“What taste does your crumbled ice taste?”
“This is the lemon sea salt flavor, the latest new style.”
Mei Fang saw that Lin Youxi was a little curious, so she handed Lin Youxi the broken ice in her hand, “This is for you?”
“Hey me.”
Lin Youxi opened her mouth slightly towards Mei Fang. At this moment, a little boy next door suddenly saw this scene and deliberately covered her stomach and laughed.
“Hahahaha, hahaha, sister, you are so old and you still have to feed others. Don’t be ashamed!”
Lin Youxi ignored the laughter of the little boy beside him, but sucked it carefully against the Broken Bingbing handed over by Mei Fang. The little boy immediately showed a disgusting expression, “It’s really good to feed you, you’re so disgusting.”
Xia Yuan smiled at the little boy, “You… you’re so happy now, you’re crying in the future.”
“I cry? I can’t! I’m a man who stands tall and straight, so I won’t cry easily. That’s what little girls and sissies do!”
The boy said and made a face to the side. After a few sounds, he stepped on his storm and continued to travel far.
Xia Yuan was watching the boy go away, and his eyes then fell on the popsicle in Lin Youxi’s hand. “Youxi, your mung bean popsicle is about to melt, it is about to drip down!”
At the critical moment, Lin Youxi sucked Mei Fang’s broken icebing and stuffed the popsicle into Mei Fang’s mouth.
Um…
Mei Fang was stuffed with Lin Youxi’s mouth, and kept prpring to prevent the popsicles from dripping.
Seeing Lin Youxi and Mei Fang talking, Xia Yuan was eating Qiaolei alone, and immediately protested, “Why are you two eating? Let me try it too!”
Lin Youxi asked with a smile:
“Do you want to eat Cray Bingbing or Green Star Love?”
“I, I…I want them all!”
Everyone washed their hands and faces after eating popsicles outside, and then walked on the way back to the community. At this time, Xia Yuan suddenly said a few words with some emotion.
“What does growing up mean for us?”
“Meaning-“
Seeing Lin Youxi’s quite playful expression, Xia Yuan quickly stopped the other party:
“Speak in advance! I’m talking about serious topics, you can’t be a little bit awkward.”
“Why do you have such a bad impression of me? I definitely want to answer this question seriously.”
Xia Yuan thought for a while, “You said that we can live independently now and make a lot of money. Although we have not officially ended our school days, we are no longer different from adults, right?”
“It’s not impossible to say that…”
Lin Youxi smiled slightly, “But growing up will definitely mean more freedom and more responsibility. You can have a lot of rights to make your own choices, but you also have to pay the price for this choice.”
“For example…for example, are we planning to be together for three people?”
Xia Yuan took a deep breath, “Although we have been dating for 8 months, we have only received the blessings of two people…”
“It is a very difficult thing to hope to get the understanding of all the people around us… Especially for our parents, it is easy to feel unsure.”
Lin Youxi looked a little disappointed, and she looked up at Mei Fang and said, “What do you think, what does growing up mean?”
“I…I…”
