Chapter 16 Distance
YU: . . .

YU: Start lightly.

After sending the message this time, Jiang Yu did not bombard the message, but quietly waited for the reply.

In fact, he knew that Lin Nanxi was typing, and he also guessed that Lin Nanxi's hand speed was slow, so he didn't get back a message.

After all, the words 'typing...' directly above the chat window were clearly seen by Jiang Yu.

Those words appeared and disappeared, jumping repeatedly in the interface, Jiang Yu could even imagine that Lin Nanxi on the other end of the phone was devastated by this.

While watching, he sat back on the sofa and laughed.

Jiang Yu usually goes home to play games and sleep, so he has nothing to do, but today I found something fun for him.

It's just... a bit useless.

If Lin Nanxi 'attacks' him a few more times, he will fight back.

Huakai Fugui: I'm sorry.

Just when he was thinking about how to pay back to Lin Nanxi, the three words that popped up on the phone made Jiang Yu's smile froze again.

Every time when Jiang Yu was flexing his muscles and preparing to make fun of others, Lin Nanxi's sudden apology would slam on the brakes for Jiang Yu, leaving Jiang Yu speechless.

In this case, as long as he bullies Lin Nanxi for a while, it will appear that he is a small-hearted and bully.

An inexplicable sense of guilt will flood into my heart.

Although Jiang Yu's reputation in school is indeed not very good, but he is not the bully that those lower grades say.

On the contrary, Jiang Yu is still the kind-hearted good citizen who will help the old lady cross the road.

However, in schools that only value academic performance, students will be uniformly labeled with rigid labels.

This set of rigid labeling formulas automatically divide students into 369 classes.

Poor students = bad students.

Even poor students with good moral character are bad students.

For a bad student like Jiang Yu who has been bad for more than two years, this stereotyped label may not be able to be washed away until he walks out of the campus.

Maybe, in Lin Nanxi's opinion, Jiang Yu is the bully that those juniors passed on.

No wonder Lin Nanxi was so afraid of him, always bowed his head and apologized.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu couldn't laugh at all.

When the smile on his face froze, everything around him became quiet again.

In the empty living room, silence and darkness swallowed the senses like a tide.

Gusts of drafts blew across the living room, Jiang Yu shivered while sitting on the sofa.

He got up and went to close the window, and when he returned to the living room, the only place that felt cold was his hands.

If you feel it carefully, you can vaguely feel the coolness flowing through your fingers.

This is... washing dishes?

Jiang Yu frowned, and looked down at his hands.

Although he couldn't feel the exact movement of Lin Nanxi's hand, the cold water poured on the back of his hand could leave traces in Jiang Yu's senses.

By the way, why is the tap water in her house so cold?

Jiang Yu closed his eyes, carefully feeling the feedback from his body, and couldn't help but guess in his mind, what kind of environment and what kind of things Lin Nanxi was doing on the other side at this time.

He seems to be able to glimpse the girl's busy life through these subtle feelings.

It took about 10 minutes.

"Om-"

The phone that Jiang Yu dropped on the sofa vibrated.

Jiang Yu poked his head over to look, it was the message from Lin Nanxi.

Blooming Wealth: Are you still there?
Jiang Yu said in his heart that he was not there, but he still took the phone casually.

YU: yes

Flowers Bloom Wealthy: I just applied the medicine, do you feel anything...

Lin Nanxi's reply speed is really slow, but fortunately, Jiang Yu has a lot of time and patience.

"Medicine..."

Jiang Yu touched his neck, which was where Lin Nanxi was burned last night.

YU: I don't feel it.

Flowers Blooming Wealthy: My side still hurts, there is a burning sensation...

After reading this text, Jiang Yu made a special effort to feel his own neck.

What is certain is that there is really no feeling in the neck.

Is there any law in the matter of "perception sharing"?

For example, some feelings can be shared, but others can't, or... the stimulation caused by drugs is not counted?

But now there are too few clues, and Jiang Yu can't make a comparison.

YU: It seems that our ability is not triggered at any time.

Flowers Bloom Wealth: It is very likely that...

YU: I don't know what the rules will be. Go to school tomorrow to do an experiment?
If we can find a way to temporarily block this kind of sharing, Lin Nanxi will not be involved in Friday's sports meeting.

Huakai Fugui: Okay, what kind of experiment do you want to do, I will try my best to cooperate with you.

YU: Just don't run away when the time comes, I'll come to find you at noon.

Flowers Bloom Wealth: I try my best...

YU: Even this needs to be done as much as possible? !

Jiang Yu thought that Lin Nanxi was thinking about it, and finally he could face him head-on.

In the end, this guy is no different from when he was at school during the day, the type who shrinks up like an ostrich and tries to escape as soon as he strikes up a conversation.

Flowers Bloom Wealth: I rarely get along with my classmates...

YU: All right.

After reading Lin Nanxi's explanation, Jiang Yu could understand it.

Whether she has social barriers, Jiang Yu is not yet sure, but the only thing he knows now is that Lin Nanxi really has no friends.

Perhaps for her, suddenly being bound by someone beside her would be somewhat psychologically stressful.

Don't be in a hurry on this kind of getting along with each other, just like the monkey said, it should be done step by step.

Flowers Bloom Wealth: Besides eating chili peppers, is there anything else that Jiang Yu needs me to avoid?
After a while, Jiang Yu received another message, and he started typing with his head bowed.

YU: I haven't thought of it yet.

YU: However, apart from chili, I don’t like spicy things like ginger and black pepper, and I just need to be careful not to burn them when cooking. It's pretty tricky.

Huakai Fugui: Okay, I understand, I will pay attention.

The tone of Lin Nanxi's news was very humble, which reminded Jiang Yu of the tone of subordinates speaking to their superiors in the workplace.

But Jiang Yu and Lin Nanxi are both of the same age, and no one should be inferior to the other among them.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yu sent another message.

YU: What about you?
YU: Do you have any taboos, or things you don't want me to do?

Blooming Blossoms and Wealth: Me... My words...maybe I hope Jiang Yu can rest early.

YU: Only this one?

Jiang Yu thought of staying up all night to play games some time ago, his mental state at school at that time could be described as 'sluggish', and he didn't know if Lin Nanxi was affected by him at that time.

Blooming Wealth: Yes!

Flowers bloom and wealth: I hope Jiang Yu eats well, goes to bed on time, gets up on time, doesn't be late for school, and doesn't get hurt playing basketball!

Although Jiang Yu knew that Lin Nanxi cared about him, it was only because his body was bound that he gave such instructions.

But Jiang Yu was still a little touched.

After all, it had been too long since he had received a word of concern.

YU: I also try my best.

Flowers Bloom Wealthy: Alright, let’s do this first, I’m going to do the quizzes!

Flowers bloom and wealth: rest early!
YU: Well, good night.

The chat with Lin Nanxi ended with this sentence.

Jiang Yu feels that the text version of Lin Nanxi is a little more active than the real version of Lin Nanxi.

Even the writing can give people a lively and lovely feeling, which is completely absent in Lin Nanxi in school.

Putting down his typing fingers, Jiang Yu glanced at the chat list before closing the chat software.

Jiang Yu has a lot of friends, and there are also many people who send him messages every day to brag. Most of the chat content is either game information or e-sports competitions, and the rest are some funny videos of sand sculptures.

Jiang Yu slid the list of recent chats to the very back, and only then did he find the person whose profile picture was a bouquet of roses.

The last time he chatted with his mother was three weeks ago.

The content of the chat is also a short sentence: "Baby, you have started school, this is living expenses, if it is not enough, tell mom~"

Next is a series of transfer records with very long numbers.

Jiang Yu confiscated it at the time, because he still had a lot of money in his pocket, so the first payment of living expenses transferred by his mother was automatically refunded within 24 hours.

But my mother didn't care about it, and didn't even ask Jiang Yu why it was confiscated.

The chat history ends here, and then it is now three weeks later, and my mother has not even greeted me with a half-sentence to eat or dress.

"Hey."

Jiang Yu turned off the phone and sighed silently.

He knows that his mother is very busy, busy with work, busy with life, and busy with dating.

Glancing at the huge living room, the bright lights illuminate the place magnificently, and every piece of furniture on display has been wiped clean by the hourly auntie.

But every corner here seems to be telling a kind of loneliness.

Jiang Yu turned off the lights, went to the computer desk and put on the earphones.

For Jiang Yu now, this is the only way for him to escape from loneliness.

……

the other side.

In that old little house.

Warm incandescent lamps light up the crowded room.

The little boy finished his homework and sat on the stool obediently to watch cartoons.

The TV at home is small and the picture is a bit blurry, but the little boy watched it with great interest.

Because I was afraid of disturbing my sister's reading, I turned off the sound on purpose.

Lin Nannan swayed her feet, turned around and saw that Lin Nanxi had finished writing a test paper, so she spoke:

"Sister, when will Mommy come home?"

Lin Nanxi shook her head: "I have to work overtime today, so I will come back later."

"okay."

The little boy lowered his head in disappointment, then raised his head after a while and said, "Sister..."

"Ok?"

"I want to eat shrimp crackers."

Lin Nannan looked at Lin Nanxi with those pitiful and sparkling eyes.

Shrimp crackers can be regarded as the cheapest snack.

Five yuan can buy a big pack, and if you buy it and fry it yourself, you can basically eat it for half a month.

Lin Nanxi put down his pen, and when he was about to get up and go to the kitchen, he thought of something again.

"I can't fry shrimp chips for you today." She said softly.

"Why!!" Lin Nannan asked with an aggrieved face.

Lin Nanxi touched her neck where the ointment had been applied.

Shrimp crackers are easy to burst during frying, and Lin Nanxi often burns his arms and neck because of this.

If she was the only one bearing the pain after being scalded, she would make snacks for her brother.

But... Now she no longer belongs to her alone.

She needs to take care of another person's feelings.

Therefore, in order not to involve Jiang Yu, Lin Nanxi could only go over and rub Lin Nannan's hair, comforting him.

"Would you like to fry it next time?"

Lin Nannan was never a willful child. Like Lin Nanxi, he was extraordinarily sensible and obedient because of the environment in which he grew up.

Lin Nannan smiled sweetly and nodded vigorously:
"Well! Listen to my sister!"
