Chapter 68 Want to Hear Your Voice

When Lin Xi was 17 years old, she had a nightmare, which has been with her ever since.

On that day in my memory, it was still summer in Linshi.

She fell asleep because she relied too much on sleeping pills, and her grandmother tried to stop taking her medicine for a day because she was worried.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect. She didn't take medicine that day, and it was really difficult for her to fall asleep.

Mingming closed the window when she went to bed, and obviously didn't wear a hearing aid, but the sound of cicadas outside the window still made her eardrums hurt.The air conditioner was also working, but she still felt hot all over her body, as if hundreds of small bugs were gnawing at her bones, causing her to toss and turn, restless.

She didn't dare to turn on the light, for fear that her grandparents would see the light through the crack of the door and worry about her.

She kept her eyes open until two o'clock in the morning. She couldn't sleep, so she took out her phone from under the pillow.She tried to watch some boring and lengthy documentaries and TV series, and she was still energetic in the past hour.

Opening the WeChat page, she wanted to send a message to her brother, but she thought that her brother had no way to reply, so she gave up the idea.His fingers slid down boredly, and stopped in front of Cheng Si's dialog box.Then he continued to slide down, and stopped again when his fingertips brushed over another familiar dialog box.

This stay was a bit long, and the balance in my heart swayed from side to side and tilted repeatedly.In the end, rationality lost a battle, and she couldn't tell what emotion was causing the trouble at the time, forcing her to click into the chat box with Qin Yu.

The content of the last chat between the two is still in front of his eyes. He said that he was out of town this weekend and couldn't make it back.But on Monday, I will pick her up from school on time, and bring her back the famous local dim sum.

Next, she obediently agreed, and he told himself to go to bed early.That's all for the chat.

Taking a deep breath, she typed in the chat box. It was just a simple sentence, which she deleted and edited several times before sending it out.

"Third brother, when will you return to Beijing tomorrow?"

She didn't expect him to reply immediately, but she planned to wait for him.

Anyway, she is destined to not be able to sleep tonight, she has plenty of time.

She remembered very clearly that she quit WeChat to read a few words, and a WeChat message suddenly popped up on the notification bar at the top.

At this time, just 2 minutes had passed since she sent the message.

And then, it was three past ten in the morning.

Third brother: "Tomorrow at around [-] noon, you will land. Can't you sleep now?"

He didn't ask himself why he wasn't asleep, and he didn't preach.

She stared at this sentence for a while before replying truthfully.

"Did the third brother wake up from me?"

"A piece of news can bother me. I haven't slept yet."

"Are you busy with work?"

"Ah."

Seeing this word, she continued typing in the dialog box, wanting to quickly end this chat and not disturb him anymore.

But his typing speed was faster, and he dared to send it before her: "Is it convenient to call?"

She froze for a moment, "Is there anything important to say?"

"No. I mainly want to hear your voice."

"..." She replied with an ellipsis. At that time, what she was most nervous about was when Qin Yu asked her to speak. She had never been so nervous during the exam.

Third brother: "I haven't seen you for almost two days, don't you want to hear my voice?"

As soon as his words came out, her heart skipped a beat, and then there was a "boom", a heavy blow.

Her fingers hovered over the keyboard, not knowing which letter to touch for a moment.

After a while, she replied, "I think so."

One word, it took 5 minutes.

Throughout the whole process, Qin Yu did not urge her, nor did she send any other messages to change the topic.He seemed to be particularly persistent in her answer.

Two seconds after the message was sent, "Go wear a hearing aid."

The moment she saw these words, she got up from the bed in a strange way, and with the help of the light of her mobile phone, she reached for the hearing aid on the bedside table.

She admitted that she was really in a hurry at that time.

The hearing aid didn't seem to fit well, and she adjusted it nervously.When she was ready, she didn't dare to lie back and sat by the bed waiting for his call.

Time passed by, she had never looked forward to a call so much, and even wondered why he hadn't called yet, urging her silently over and over again.

It was also the first time she discovered that she turned out to be such an impatient person.

While spurning, she still wanted to urge him to call in quickly.

Fortunately, he didn't make himself wait too long.

When the phone interface popped up, she subconsciously wanted to click on it, but she was afraid that she would be too impatient, so she deliberately waited for a while before pressing the answer button.

She remembered like 18 seconds, and she kept counting silently.

"Lin Xi, can you hear me clearly?"

The familiar voice came to her ears along with the slight electric sound, her breathing stagnated for no reason, and she hummed softly after a while.

The phone was pressed tightly to her ear, and she could even hear his clear breathing.

"It's not good to take sleeping pills for a long time. Grandma is right. Next time, you should drink the calming tea prepared by grandma obediently."

"Ah."

"I'll go back in the morning when I bought some dim sum for you. I wanted to buy it when I passed by yesterday, but I was afraid that it would be stale if I brought it back overnight. The dim sum should last for a long time, but I have to bring it to my family, Xixi. , you are so picky, you can't be sloppy."

At that time, Qin Yu really talked a lot.

She had known him for more than ten years, and he seldom spoke for a long time, especially these trivial things that were not worth mentioning.

It was only later that she realized that it wasn't that he had become more talkative and liked to express himself.

It was because he knew she didn't want to talk, so he kept talking, trying to wait for her response.

"Did you go to tutoring today?"

"No." She cherished words like gold, and the identities of the two suddenly changed that year.

The person who talked less and seemed indifferent became her.

"Didn't you go out?"

"No."

"Aren't you bored at home?"

She still answered that word.

If you don't know the truth, you might think that she doesn't want to talk anymore.

But Qin Yu knew that even if she repeated the word every time, she was already trying very hard to respond.

Because her voice was trembling.

"Tomorrow night, let's go out to eat. Remember to tell grandma in the morning."

"it is good."

"Is there anything in particular you want to eat?"

He knew that she had a picky mouth, and during that time she was sick and her appetite was average, and she didn't really want to eat many things that she liked before.

Probably because he thought it was too late and didn't want to make her feel too uncomfortable, so he didn't wait for her answer, but said sweetly: "No hurry, just send me a message after thinking about what to eat during the day."

He asked her to type a reply.

"I... eat, eat seafood..."

Qin Yu was also surprised by her sudden reply. About two or three seconds later, she heard his voice with a smile, and replied very gently: "Okay, go eat seafood with Xixi tomorrow."
