Chapter 34: Dragonflies Point Water
I went to the small supermarket with soy sauce to buy snacks, she bought her favorite plums, candies and shrimp chips, and I took some potato chips, yogurt and cola.
Somehow, this picture reminds me of a scene on Chengshan Island - at that time, I was alone in a strange place, picking Maomao's favorite milk tea, and standing alone in a food stall to buy supper for Qi Zhijia. Our relationship is still the same as in junior high school, with me playing the role of precocious puberty and always trying my best to take care of them, completely unaware that I need help and companionship, and they are not aware of it in the slightest. Although today, Qi Zhijia has become half a mother, Maomao has become half a graduate student, I am still the biggest sister in that group, my fragility, my sadness, they see it in their eyes and turn a blind eye.
They're used to it, and I'm used to it.
When I was very young, my mother taught me the same way, wanting me to be an independent and capable child, so that many times, I had nothing to talk to her about - isn't it all these little things in a child's life, you have been wronged and hurt, you go home and complain, and then start again the next day - she will not touch my head and comfort my suffering, but will think that I am not capable enough, and blame me. Therefore, I usually report good news and not bad news at home, and if I say it anyway, I will only get myself in trouble.
It is precisely because of this experience that I have developed the character of carrying the sky when the sky falls. No matter what difficulties I encountered, I always walked step by step alone, and after several years of walking alone, I was already familiar with hiding myself in the layers of labyrinths, and I didn't dare to put my fragile heart in the main hall for others to see. I was always afraid that my sincerity would cause trouble to others, that they would see through my truth, so that in the end I would take the initiative to break up with my first love, so that I didn't dare to start a new relationship later.
The four years I spent with them with soy sauce gradually changed me. Soy sauce is a little angel who cares about you everywhere, and to put it more colloquially, it is the idler in the neighborhood committee, Sister Ma, and with her, I realized that I can also receive hot care and consideration, and gradually be able to open my heart...... Haha, although many times, I feel that the feelings of soy sauce are too full and I can't bear it.
And Babao and hot sauce, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp, they are torches that burn at one point, and they can't stand the grievances for half a minute. They are 'dancing and domineering' in the dormitory, and I and Soy Sauce will not take it to heart anyway. In the past few years, looking at them like this, I gradually realized that it is harmless for me to be a little willful and perverse occasionally, and the most important thing is to be happy.
Back in the dormitory, Babao and Hot Sauce had already cleaned up the dormitory, and the curtains were drawn tightly, so that it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night outside. The large square table bought by the freshman was carried to the middle of the dormitory, and a string of small colored lamps were hung on the stand next to it, and I don't know what year the soy sauce was bought.
"Wow, that's weird, it's pretty. "Soy sauce put the snacks on the table.
Haho proudly put a box of liquor under the table, mostly beer and rio, and the other box only contained a bottle of plum wine and a bottle of yuzu shochu, and the rest was stuffed with instant noodles. It's also true, how can Babao, who is so picky, spend money on expensive wine.
"How did you bring back so much wine?" I picked up a few cans of dark beer and placed them on the table.
"I took it with the box. Babao found a stool and sat down, half a point not like the cultivation of dancing dance, "I'm tired of the old lady." β
Thinking about it, four years ago, these girls were still the eldest lady who couldn't pick up their shoulders and couldn't lift their hands, and when they saw me coming up alone with a bucket, I mentioned a few words. So, they didn't admit defeat and began to carry water by themselves, and they developed such a habit of not asking for help, and they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"Okay, okay, I've ordered my pizza too, it'll be here in half an hour, let's start playing cards first." Soy sauce took his phone and found a stool to sit down.
Hot sauce also sat at the table, reached out for a bag of potato chips, and ate it on the ground: "How to play this time?"
I took out two boxes of playing cards from the drawer, "The same old thing, fight the landlord, whoever loses will have a beer." β
"Come, full and full. Soy sauce warmly opened two cans of beer and poured a glass for everyone.
The first plate of soy sauce got to the landlord, and the three of us worked together to press the soy sauce to play, and within a few minutes, the hot sauce ran out of all the cards. Soy Sauce's expression of loss was overflowing, he stood up and squatted on the edge of the bed, drank all the wine, and was still the little kid who couldn't afford to lose.
I laughed with Hot Sauce, I used to think she was stingy, but now looking at such a familiar back, it was very kind, and the two tacitly drank the wine in the glass.
"Come again, come again!" the hot sauce reopened the jar and filled it with soy sauce and me.
"What are you doing here, if I don't drink, won't it make me look small?" Babao puffed out his cheeks and looked at me angrily.
"Drink it, drink it, the wine you bought is very delicious, and besides, if you don't drink it again, there will be no foam." "I'm playing round.
"Hmph, small utensils are small utensils, I won't drink them. Babao picked up the playing cards and began to shuffle the cards, clumsily, flew a card directly to the table, she immediately took it back, pretending that nothing happened.
Soy sauce lost his temper and sat back at the table: "Look at you, there is no one who deals cards, so I can learn more from him." β
"He's so good about my," after the cards were dealt, Babao opened a pack of shrimp chips and fiddled with the bag, "I said, I don't like him at all." β
"Then you tell me what it's like to kiss him, you won't forget it. Soy sauce said as he sorted out the cards.
I watched them lose their minds all of a suddenβthe four of us were more than four seniors in the senior club, and we just needed an extra plate of peanuts, melon seeds, and small walnuts at hand.
"Hmm...... It's like cupping, and I hear myself popping, and it's very noticeable. "Babao said honestly, I sprayed water at the same time as the hot sauce.
"I thought this kiss would wake up your hormones. The soy sauce pointed to the center of the game, "Who is the landlord in this game?"
"The pheromones that woke me up were pretty much the same. Babao hummed and took away a stack of cards, "I am the landlord, I am me." β
"Pheromones are a pheromone that attracts the opposite sex, okay, don't talk nonsense. The corners of the hot sauce twitched.
"Pheromones, that makes sense, no wonder people only give you free coupons. Soy sauce complained, "You better hurry up and hand over the coupon, maybe the four of us can get together once on the day of graduation." β
"I'm not available, I'm not available, you guys go. Hot sauce waved his hand.
There was some tension for a while, and I was just about to say something, when the mobile phone suddenly rang, and I looked at the electric man, and it turned out to be the brake. I had to make an excuse and go to the toilet to answer the phone, "You guys wait for me, I'll be back soon." β
"Hey, aren't you in class?" I stood in the hallway, my voice lowered.
"You remember. His voice jumped for granted.
I grimaced at him over the phone, "Of course I remember, say, what's the matter?"
"I'm already out of class, I just saw your soy sauce circle of friends, and I helped you bring Satsuma's fried chicken, you can come downstairs in five minutes to get it." β
"What?" I rushed downstairs in surprise, completely forgetting that I was still wearing flip-flops.
"We'll talk later, bye-bye. β
"Bye-bye...... No, don't ...... just yet" He had already hung up.
I stood in the lobby downstairs of the dormitory, fidgeting, turned off the wifi, and sent a message to soy sauce with my own traffic, saying that I would come down to get takeout. Thinking that it was not good to be seen by the brakes when he looked so anxious, he simply sat on the sofa in the hall and brushed the circle of friends.
I saw that Soy Sauce posted such a status in the circle of friends, "Have dinner with Wuli's dear roommates, and there may not be this opportunity for the four of them to reunite in the future." At this moment, I really want to eat Satsuma's fried chicken and barbecue, but unfortunately his family doesn't do takeout, and so-and-so happens to be not around, what a pity...... Are there any children passing by who can help us bring it, a serving of salt-and-pepper fried chicken and four strings of cumin tenderloin are completely OK. Her tone is greasy, and the directivity is obviously for the stupid big man, and Bao Buqi is complaining to him about it, but I didn't expect to be seen by the brakes.
Five minutes later, the brakes stopped under us on the mountain bike, and I hurriedly ran to him, the drag under my feet hitting the concrete floor, like my deer's beating heart.
"You're here so fast. β
"I miss you. "He rubbed my bangs that I hadn't washed.
"Why are you so well-behaved, how do you know how to coax girls, let's say, you've been in love a few times, and you've been truthfully recruited. β
Brake aggrievedly handed me the takeout box: "I learned it online!"
"What else have you learned?" I leaned closer to him, pretending to be vicious, like a grunting little brain tiger.
"Ah, for example, when a girl has menstrual cramps, you have to ask her if she wants to drink brown sugar water, whether she wants to warm the baby, and you must not say drink more hot water. "He listed it with me in all seriousness.
"What else?"
"When the girl says forget it, you must not think that it is okay to leave, you must hold it in your arms, give a kiss on the forehead, if the girl accepts it, you can further develop ......"
I was speechless: "Forget it, don't look at this kind of thing if you have nothing to do in the future, I'm not that kind of girl." β
"It's because you don't always feel pain, so I feel more sorry for you. He said.
The right time, place and people are indispensable. As a freshman and sophomore, I was still the little girl hiding in the maze, I didn't know him, and he didn't care about me. Four years later, I became what I am now, leaving behind cheap inferiority complex, leaving independent and strong, and he, also crossed the border, chose to stand by my side, and became the person who took care of me and cared for me.
I felt the feeling of bliss, a warm breath that clings up from the soles of our feet, like vines, binding the two of us together.
I took a step forward, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his cool lips, a kiss like a dragonfly and a firework.
