Chapter 1

In Lincheng in September, the heat and humidity envelop people.

When Nan Xia walked into the high-speed railway station, the air-conditioning hit her head. She took a long breath, took out a tissue and carefully wiped the sweat off her forehead.

The voice of a text message came from the mobile phone. She quickly found an empty seat in the waiting hall and sat down, taking out her mobile phone.

Ning Bei: “There are still five minutes to arrive at the station.”

Nan Xia pursed her lips and smiled, and replied, “It’s impolite, call me sister.”

After sending the text message, she threw the phone into the bag.

Ning Bei would not return her.

When she was three or five years old, she would follow behind her buttocks and yell “sister, sister”, and after ten years old, she would yell that her sister wanted his life as if her mouth was sealed.

Thinking about it, Nan Xia couldn’t help laughing.

Since she came to Lincheng to study and work in university, she rarely saw Ning Bei when she went back to her hometown. This time, Ning Bei was admitted to Lincheng University. Nan Xia’s mother asked her to treat Ning Bei well. After all, the two have been neighbors for more than 20 years.

In the high-speed rail station, enough air-conditioning completely blows away the heat on Nan Xia’s body. She looked up at the timetable of the high-speed rail station, and the car in Ningbei still had one minute to enter the station.

Nan Xia blinked, then suddenly took out her phone again.

Swipe up with your finger to turn on the selfie mode.

In the front camera, her half-length chestnut curly hair is scattered around her ears, and the makeup on her face is very light, only her mouth is painted in a matte bean paste color.

The earrings are medium-sized golden rings, which sway slightly with Nan Xia’s fingers moving her hair.

Nan Xia turned off the phone with satisfaction, and returned to the timetable on the big screen.

The corners of his mouth raised silently, as if he was looking forward to seeing Ning Bei.

When Nan Xia left her hometown to study in Lincheng at the age of eighteen, Ning Bei was only twelve. In the next six years, Nan Xia rarely saw Ning Bei again.

Occasionally, when I go back to pass by Ning Bei’s house during the Chinese New Year, I can only see Ning Bei who hastily showed his face and then quickly hid in his room.

Boys after the age of twelve are like mushrooms after the rain, and every year they go back and change at an astonishing speed. Nan Xia can only say to him every year: “Ning Bei, you have grown taller again.”

Then Ning Bei bowed his head and said “Yes”, and walked back to the room with a silent expression.

Oh, smelly brother.

Nan Xia thought about it, and then smiled unconsciously.

Looking up again, the train number of Ningbei on the timetable has changed to “arrival”. Nan Xia picked up the small bag and walked towards the exit.

There were quite a few men, women and children lying on the railing who were also waiting for someone. Nan Xia kept some distance from them, but ensured that she could see Ning Bei.

Soon, the exit gate opened. Arriving passengers streamed out of the narrow downstream exit like a crowded fish. Nan Xia held her breath slightly, stood on tiptoes to look for Ning Bei’s figure.

To be honest, she was actually not very confident that she could recognize Ning Bei at a glance.

Leaving aside the fact that we haven’t seen each other for more than half a year, in fact, Ning Bei is always not very interested when we meet every year, and he shows up and returns to the room soon.

But Nan Xia knew that Ning Bei was tall and handsome, and his recognition would not be bad.

Soon, Nan Xia spotted a man in a group of passengers wearing white short-sleeved sleeves and a large pattern of graffiti on his chest. He was wearing a NY baseball bag and had a suitcase in his hand.

The smile on the corner of her mouth overflowed, and Nan Xia strode over.

“Ningbei!”

The man who was called out looked up in confusion, and Nan Xia strode closer.

The two look at each other—

Nan Xia’s heart stopped suddenly.

Afterwards, he looked away with his usual expression, and continued to shout into the air with an undiminished tone: “Ning Bei, Ning Bei…”

The footsteps also logically walked in the other direction.

A few seconds later, Nan Xia sneaked a glance to the left, and the man had already gone far away. Her voice gradually decreased.

Nan Xia pursed her lips, and silently lit a cigarette for herself in her heart.

Fortunately, Ning Bei didn’t know.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to continue looking for Ning Bei as if nothing had happened.

The moment she turned around, she saw a man also wearing a black baseball cap standing five meters away from her and staring at her silently.

A chill suddenly surged from Nan Xia’s back, and Nan Xia took a closer look.

It is Ningbei.

…

Judging from his face so dark that he could fall to the ground, Ning Bei probably watched the whole process just now.

The Great Compassion Curse suddenly rose in Nan Xia’s heart, and she really wanted to have a second cigarette.

But after all, she is Ning Bei’s elder sister who is six years older, such a trivial matter cannot defeat her. Quickly adjusted her mentality, Nan Xia put on a smile and walked towards Ning Bei.

“Ningbei.”

After she got close to Ning Bei, she truly realized Ning Bei’s height. Nan Xia took another step back slightly, so that she would not look up to him too much.

Ning Bei’s face became colder for some reason, and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn’t say anything.

Nan Xia was accustomed to his silence, she reached out to help him push the box.

Ning Bei stepped back and said, “I can do it myself.”

“Oh, of course.” Nan Xia smiled, and lightly grabbed his shoulder, “Then let’s go with my sister.”

Ning Bei looked at the back of her going ahead, clenched the lever with his fingers, and then strode to follow.

The university that Ning Bei was admitted to was Nan Xia’s alma mater, so it was Nan Xia’s duty to bring him into the dormitory.

On the first day of school, the campus is full of parents who come to send their children to school. After the two reported quickly, they went to the dormitory with their suitcases. When they arrived at the Ningbei dormitory, the five boys who arrived first had already become acquainted.

Nan Xia’s original plan was to help Ning Bei arrange the dormitory, and then take him to dinner.

Who knew that Ning Bei only stayed in the dormitory for a while and told Nan Xia that she didn’t want her to help with the decoration of the dormitory, and wanted to have dinner first.

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the dormitory, looking a little impatient.

Nan Xia then put the things in her hands back on the table.

In the corridor of the dormitory, boys and parents came and went. Ning Bei leaned against the cold wall and looked sideways into the dormitory.

Next to his bed near the window, Nan Xia was taking her bag.

A light came from the side of her, making a golden furrow on the bridge of her nose.

Small and quite warped.

She was wearing an off-white dress, which was very French.

The two fronts of the chest overlap, and a big V is drawn.

The surrounding people were laughing and talking to Nan Xia.

Ning Bei suddenly stood at the door: “Sister, I’m hungry. Can you hurry up?”

For the first time, he took the initiative to call her sister.

Nan Xia immediately turned her head and said with a smile, “Here we come, Xiaobei.”

Ning Bei immediately turned his head and leaned against the invisible wall of the dormitory.

The shadow completely covered him, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

Nan Xia came out quickly: “I’m sorry, it took a while to pack my bags.”

Ning Bei gave an expressionless “hmm”, turned around and walked downstairs.

The two originally planned to eat in a restaurant outside the school, but before ordering food, Nan Xia received a series of fatal calls from her boss.

Helpless, Nan Xia could only leave early.

Ning Bei didn’t say anything, and saw that after Nan Xia left, no one was eating outside, but returned to the dormitory alone to continue packing.

There are six boys in a room, from all over the world.

Among them, Jiang Chen is the most eloquent. He has a fiery personality and is very talkative. Within a few days, the people in the dormitory became familiar with each other.

Although Ning Bei doesn’t talk much, he doesn’t deliberately ignore people.

Occasionally, I will say a few more words on topics of interest.

The dormitory quickly gave Ning Bei a nickname: Bingshan B King.

Cold, heartless, girl killer.

Ning Bei glanced at them silently, and said to himself: It’s all wrong.

Then he looked down at his phone again.

Wechat has been refreshed several times, and the friend application interface is always clean.

After Nan Xia left that day, Ning Bei received a text message.

“How much is your WeChat, I will add you, it is convenient to contact.”

Ning Bei returned a string of his phone numbers.

Until today, the third day.

No one added to his WeChat.

Ning Bei held on and didn’t send any more messages to ask.

But only he himself knows that every night when he goes to sleep, his heart is as uncomfortable as a fire.

In the noisy dormitory, the sound of game keyboards and human voices intersected, and Ning Bei was still refreshing WeChat over and over again.

Suddenly, a red dot appeared at the top of the friend request.

There was a “buzz” in Ning Bei’s ear, and his cold white cheeks quickly became hot.

He pointed and saw Nan Xia’s friend application:

“Puppy, I’m my sister.”
