Chapter 23: Do You Still Know Me?
Listening to this heavenly sound, the class exploded in an instant.
The boys, in particular, were wide-eyed, excited, and amazed with fanaticism, and looked at the fairy-like girl on the podium motionlessly, as if they had been drifting on the sea for a long time, hungry, and suddenly discovered a new island.
Those who were not calm enough even whistled vigorously in order to attract the attention of the girl; those who were a little more excited simply ran up to the podium, and held the girl's snow-white and slender little hand on the pretext of introducing themselves, and were unwilling to put it down; and the few who could barely maintain their composure sat upright, and with a smile on their faces that they thought was very attractive, but the faint green tendons on their necks revealed their excitement.
There were also some boys sitting in the back row, and they began to talk about it, saying how could there be such a good-looking girl in this world? My God, what star, what school girl, is not half as good as her!
"Beauty is beauty, I just don't know why there is a scar on my face, it looks like it was scratched by a knife, who is so ruthless?"
"It's a pity, but the scar is not obvious, and the makeup is a little thicker, so it shouldn't be visible. ”
It's just that whether it is those vulgar whistles, or those boys who take advantage of them under the banner of shaking hands, and those voices of discussion, Li Shuang is not angry, and she doesn't even care, but she smiles back at those who come up, and lets those boys grasp her little hands, stroking and rubbing, and almost don't stick her tongue up and lick it.
Only the girls in the class are still reserved, but everyone's faces are not good-looking, cold, and the eyes that look at Li Shuang are both envious and jealous, which is very complicated. Some of these good-looking girls who are usually very popular are probably because all the attention of the boys is attracted by Li Shuang, and their vanity has been greatly stimulated, so they are extremely angry, deliberately making a disdainful appearance, and muttering in a low voice: "I thought it was so beautiful, but that's it." ”
Even Hu Jiaqi couldn't help but become irritable, although she didn't say anything, but I could also see that she was still very unconvinced by Li Shuang, this is like a student who won the first place in the perennial exam, and suddenly was caught up by someone, and became the second place without any suspense.
Maybe Li Shuang's light was too dazzling, which overshadowed most of the girls and made all the boys excited, and in the enthusiastic atmosphere, no half of the people noticed that I was sitting in the corner, and I had already burst into tears.
I opened my eyes wide and looked at her on the podium, and in my chaotic mind, I began to think of the bits and pieces we got along with that summer two years ago:
"Joan, where are you going to take me to play today? I'll count, we've already fished in the creek and caught frogs in the field, so why don't we catch dragonflies this time?"
"Joan, let's go climb the mountain tomorrow, by the way, dig out a bird's nest, catch two little chicks and raise them, and teach them to sing when they grow up, okay?"
"Joan, don't you care about other people's eyes, who doesn't have a flaw in them? I think your right hand is fluffy and super cute, like my little kitten. ”
In a trance, it became, under the longan tree not far from the school, I made a small swing with a plank and rope, Li Shuang would always pull me over, she went up to sit, I pushed behind, and then she would become very excited, looking at the blue sky, happy from the bottom of her heart, shouting: "Joan, look, I will fly, I will fly." ”
When I got tired of pushing, I sat under the tree, and when I looked up, I could see Li Shuang, who had taken off her shoes and sat quietly on the swing, swaying a pair of white and tender feet, humming a beautiful song.
These beautiful images, and everything that happened that summer, are the most important memories of my life.
When I was a child, Li Shuang was not there, no one would play with me, and no one would talk to me. Occasionally, when my birthday comes, I can only pile up the mud and sand by myself, build a house, make bowls and chopsticks, look at the seats drawn one by one, and count carefully: "Turtles, elephants, monkeys, and foxes are all here today, thank you." Then he tossed for a long time, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and muttered to himself: "Although I am very happy, it is better to invite fewer people in the future, after all, it is very tiring for one person to play so many roles." ”
Later, Li Shuang was there, and in so many quiet nights, we all went to catch fireflies together, put them in glass bottles, divided them into many pieces, and put them on the grass outside the village, forming a circle, and then we lay in the center of the circle, letting the green light shine on our bodies, as if we were in a dream. At this time, Li Shuang would tell me stories from books, talk to me about her dreams in the future, and talk to me about the places she wanted to go.
In those days, with her, I never felt alone again.
Therefore, meeting Li Shuang is the luckiest thing in my life.
Because of her, I understood for the first time what laughter is, because of her, I learned not to care about other people's eyes, because of her, my life finally has color.
At that time, we would often lie side by side on the grass, watching the white clouds of various shapes in the sky, watching the joyful birds chasing and flying, and patiently listening to the chirping. And I would always secretly turn my head to see her sun-tanned face, her long eyelashes, and the sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.
Then I felt that even if I was suffering from a strange disease, even if my mother left me, even if the world treated me as a monster, as long as she was by my side, I would become the richest person in the world.
If when I was a child, my hope was that my strange illness would be cured, then in two years, my dream became that I could meet Li Shuang again.
Even if it's just one side, I'm satisfied.
The atmosphere in the class was still high.
At this moment, Hu Jiaqi stabbed me heavily with a pen, sneered and said, "What, because this Li Shuang is so beautiful, you are so excited that you cry?
But then she paused, frowned, and said, "What do you want to do?"
I didn't answer her.
Because I couldn't take it anymore, I mustered up the courage to stand up and walked towards the podium step by step.
I thought to myself, two years, two whole years, so many days and nights of waiting, countless thoughts, and now, we finally meet again.
I was very excited and worried, afraid that Li Shuang would be angry because of what happened, and even more afraid that after so long, she no longer knew me.
But what I didn't expect was that when the boys in the class saw me coming up, they all showed angry looks, as if they were afraid that I, a poor student, would tarnish the goddess in their minds.
Although my reputation is very loud now, and after winning against Xu Jian, no one dares to say that I am my wreck, but this does not mean that my classmates will like me.
I heard some boys say in a weird way: "Yo, isn't this the gangster Qiao An in our class? Why, you also want to go up to meet Li Shuang? I advise you not to, after all, you like to fight so much, you like to bully others so much, aren't you afraid that people will be afraid?"
"That's it, especially your hairy hands, like dog's legs, but don't show them, it's disgusting. ”
"Hehe, look at him, it's really strange to wear a coat on such a hot day, I can smell the sweat on his body from afar, don't smoke it!"
Not only the boys, but even the girls looked at me with disdain, some disdainful, some indifferent, but more often mocking, as if looking at a dirty animal.
I know that these people are waiting to see the play, waiting to see me lose face and make a fool of myself.
This made my steps unusually heavy.
But I quickly regained my determination, lifted my feet again, and walked towards the podium step by step.
Li Shuang was still on it, and she kept looking at me, but I was wearing a hat, and she couldn't see my face clearly.
Finally, I came to the podium.
Although Li Shuang didn't know why, she still politely stretched out her hand to me and smiled: "Hello this classmate, my name is Li Shuang, please take care of me." ”
For a while, the voice in my ears disappeared, and all the eyes of the class were focused on me, the girls were waiting to watch the play, and the boys were gritting their teeth, envious and jealous, as if they wanted to switch roles with me, and instead of holding the snow-white little hand that stretched out.
I ignored those mocking voices, trembled my hands, slowly put down the hat covering my head, revealed my face, and said to Li Shuang, "Xiaoshuang, do you remember me?"
The whole classroom was silent at this moment, and the pins could be heard.
