I have received too many New Year's wishes these days, both in text messages and in space.

I was surprised that one of my tablemates from my freshman year of high school also sent me New Year's greetings, which reminded me of some interesting things from that time.

His name is Zhu Tong, and he shared a table with me for three months at the beginning of my first year of high school, and then he transferred to Hainan.

In the three months at the same table, the two of us are like left and right hands, doing everything together, and motivating each other in learning, in a monthly exam I played exceptionally better than him, he was lost for a while, you must know that his grades have always been among the best.

Zhu Tong is usually very humorous, and often gives me some small magic tricks, such as ropes, coins, silk scarves, etc., I can't see any flaws, I asked him to teach me, and he brought two sets of props from home to me to demonstrate over and over again. He can also play the violin, "Liang Zhu" is his specialty, from his mouth I know that the violin is the queen of musical instruments, and the piano and classical guitar are known as the world's three major musical instruments. I said that I envy him, and he said that there is nothing to envy, he has been educated to be a good child since he was a child, and he does everything step by step, with few emotional fluctuations, he said that this is his fate, I listened to it and was even more blindly excited, thinking that when I could let this fate be arranged, I was born too random!

There was a girl sitting in front of us at the time, I forgot her name, so let's call her Xiaomei for the time being. Xiaomei likes me, and Zhu Tong likes her, but they are only limited to the very pure kind of like.

Xiaomei is very shy, every time she talks to me will not be more than three sentences on her face crimson, most of the time she writes me notes, with postcards and other stationery to write a lot, she also wrote me a poem, the content I also forgot, probably said that I am like fire, and she is like the stars in the night sky, one day when the fire is extinguished, the stars will not be visible, at the time I thought it was quite poetic, but then I thought it was really funny, the stars are the darker and brighter they are, how can the fire be extinguished and you can't see it? I also replied to her with a poem, called "Chasing Your Heart" ：

At the bottom of the sea

Growing old

It is a kind of primitive poetry of life and death

I want to know

When to see you born again

On the edge of the endless sky

When will I listen to your faint whispering?

In a deep dream

Life in chaos and clarity

Repeat and repeat under Pangu's axe

thereupon

How many days

It doesn't matter if the dew washes in the spring morning or after the frost falls in the autumn

I'm meditating

Meditate on the past of giving up

Meditate on the expectation of the distance

Your face

I dream of the sky and the sea

When time falls on a season of desolation

I want to pursue you

then

You will be in the corner of the years

Moisturize a ray of sunshine

I gave her this poem, and she loved it, saying that I wrote it so well. I don't think it's any better, but now I feel like I can't express anything other than being naïve.

I remember on my birthday, I also received a crystal dolphin from her, it was very beautiful, I always thought that gift was the best gift I have received so far, I kept the little dolphin on the square table in my house as an ornament, until I moved into the new home and lost the little dolphin, and I was sad for several days.

No one knows about this ambiguous relationship between me and Xiaomei, including Zhu Tong, of course we just appreciate each other.

In the third month, that is, the month when Zhu Tong knew that he was going to transfer to Hainan, Zhu Tong felt completely lost, he didn't want to leave me, the same table, and he didn't want to leave Xiaomei, who she liked. Xiaomei also regretted that Zhu Tong was about to leave, and became tender to him, and often comforted him and said that he should write to us often when he arrived in Hainan, so that we could know your situation, and I also said to Zhu Tong, if there is anything new, you must tell me.

I went to his house, and he played "Liang Zhu" for me, which was really good, as if we were gay, but the friendship at that time was innocent and unpredictable.

Later, when Zhu Tong arrived in Hainan, he didn't forget about me and Xiaomei, he wrote a letter to the two of us, of course, separately.

Zhu Tong told me in the letter that he had just arrived in Hainan and met a British girl, who was his classmate, and the girl always pestered him to teach her Chinese, and he said that they helped each other, Zhu Tong taught her Chinese, she taught Zhu Tong English, and now he can talk to foreigners in English.

As for Xiaomei, I don't know what Zhu Tong wrote to her, and I don't want to know, so I don't want to add unnecessary troubles to myself.

Soon after Zhu Tong left, there was an inexplicable gap between me and Xiaomei, probably because the people in the class were all familiar, I was always with a group of bad students in the eyes of the teacher, and began to ignore any girls in the class, thinking that it was cool, Xiaomei also saw the change in me, and gradually the two of us became familiar strangers, it seems that it is actually quite simple for people to go from familiar to strange, as long as they don't talk to each other.

Later, Zhu Tong rarely contacted me, I am not a very expressive person, and I rarely take the initiative to contact him, which may also be the reason.

Therefore, after four years, Zhu Tong appeared in my space again, which made me not feel reminded of the past, and I remember it vividly, it was my last innocent age.

Hey, time flies, let's just remember this for the time being, maybe we'll meet again one day in the future.

I, Zhu Tong, replied Happy New Year.

I am reminded of a passage in "The Pianist at Sea": When we hugged again, I burst into tears, do you know that your mysterious disappearance made my world collapse quickly?

Although our friendship has not yet reached that kind of affection, it cannot be regarded as a meeting in the water. Say goodbye to a place and people there, come to another place to meet new people, this is not a meeting in the water, can not be well gathered and dispersed, this is a thing that exists in every stage of our life, only these things happen we don't have to deal with, who can say goodbye to themselves?

Also, when it comes to time, everything is not a matter after all. Just like me and Zhu Tong, just like me and Xiaomei, what happened between us is not a big deal, and it is beautiful to exist.

On the 10th day of the first lunar month, I called Wen Yu.

She said she would have to wait until 13 to leave. And I kind of want to go to Suzhou as soon as possible, everything has been done at home, and the New Year will be over.

I bought a train ticket for the 12th of the first month, and the train ticket is very easy to buy at this time, and most of the people who celebrate the New Year in my hometown are left on the 4th or 5th of the New Year.

I said goodbye to my friends at home, said hello to Qingqing and a few of them, and stepped on the train back to Suzhou.
