Chapter 30: Cheese Fondue
In the mirror, I have big black grape-like eyes, the curly and thick mascara brush, a ruddy complexion, and smooth skin.
I remembered the night when I said goodbye to him on the street in the bright lights, "See you next week." ”
"See you next week, don't miss me too much. ”
"Don't be too nervous, be careful to flash your waist. I muttered and waved goodbye to him.
He also waved at me, like a night watchman with a lamp, watching my back from afar.
It seems that no matter how dark it is, no matter how cold the night is, no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, it will not be afraid or retreat.
It seems that the cold night of spring is also warm, and the step by step of going home, the lotus under the feet, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the heart is flooded with a trace of warmth that cannot be dispersed.
In the next two days, I continued to struggle in the cubicle in the torment, and finally, with the approval of the leader, I took the tripartite agreement to the personnel department to knock on the seal.
In this way, the countdown to my graduation officially began. The heart that was originally happy began to burn again-I was waiting for the wind to come, but I didn't expect to wait for a flower to bloom - life is really interesting.
Time traveled to the weekend, and the brakes knocked me on WeChat: Do you want to come out to watch a movie?
I rolled on the bed with my mobile phone, and my feet were swinging in mid-air, and after five minutes, I remembered and quickly replied: Yes.
I don't want to watch movies, I just want to watch you.
As I remembered this, I wanted to continue applying it again, but I felt a flood of goosebumps on my arm. It turns out that he is quite talented when he talks about earthy love, which is really overkill and a waste of brainpower.
I glanced at my phone and found that the brakes said that there was one more stop to get to the agreed place, so I quickly symbolically applied lip gloss, drew my eyebrows, grabbed my backpack and ran out.
The black dog sat obediently on the shoe cabinet, staring at me with two eyes thiefly, I put on my shoes and touched its head: "GOGO, wait for me to come home at night, today we will improve the food and open cans for you to eat." ”
If the black dog could talk, it would surely bark: liar. People who fall in love are big assholes.
At the second exit of the subway station, the brake wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which looks like Sven. He wore the same blue and white striped shirt as usual, but this time with denim trousers. There were no buttons under his neck, and as I spoke, I stared at his purring Adam's apple, which I thought was particularly interesting.
In the corner where he couldn't see, my fingers rubbed restlessly against the fabric of my skirt, and this was the first time I had officially "dated" him, and I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Didn't the movie start at half past six, why did you make an appointment with me so early. ”
"But I want to take you to dinner. He looked at me, "I'm in for a treat, don't you want to? No, AA is okay, it's up to you to decide." He approached me and looked down at me, ambiguous and measured.
"Yes, I'll change it next time. I replied graciously.
I snickered at the brakes and pulled the backpack behind me and onto his shoulder. I didn't know what to do with my two hands, and I grabbed the hand he had in his pocket with a shudder, like two braised chicken feet glued together, the shape was hideous, but they were attached to each other, you and me, unless I split it with a kitchen knife.
Along the way, the brakes told me about the interesting things I had encountered in the past few years, and my eyes flashed with longing, and my original indifference to the world was gradually awakened, and my curiosity increased day by day. I seem to hear that the love brain that ran away from home, with hormones and dopamine, is crying and shouting, hungry, and hurries back to eat.
The brakes took me to a Korean restaurant specializing in cheese pork ribs, and the bright environment and sesame fragrant air made me feel like I was already moving my fingers before I could sit down. He pulled out a chair for me, and I straightened my skirt and sat down.
Brake took the menu and ordered the dish without concessions. He looked at my expectant gaze and asked me what else I wanted, and I pointed my finger at the picture, "This one, and this, thank you." The waiter didn't hear clearly, and the brake immediately repeated it, and I lowered my head and smiled shyly.
In a special pot, the ribs are stewed in the middle of the pot, and the cheese and seaweed rice are heated to the point of mouth-watering by the temperature of the induction cooker. The brakes wrap the ribs around the cheese with a fork and chopsticks, wrapping them around and around them. However, the flat Korean metal chopsticks could not hold the constantly brushed cheese, and he could only stretch his arms until he reached the ceiling. The funny look made me giggle, and he blushed and managed to put his ribs in my bowl and sprinkle some white sesame seeds and chopped seaweed.
Brake then told a couple of internet jokes, and I took them all and laughed.
"The guests are so good, I am so envious. The waiter served a plate of mustard octopus, bowed slightly, and retreated.
My face turned red again, like a little girl in love for the first time. The two of us bowed our heads to eat, as if it was not the ingredients in the pot, but our faces.
This meal lasted almost two hours, and the cheese ribs, mustard octopus, vegetable salad, and kimchi soup were all bottomed out. When the clerk mixed the rice and egg mixture and fried the rice in the pot, both of them had bulging stomachs, and secretly wondered why they had eaten so much.
When the movie was about to start, the brake hurriedly grabbed my hand and ran into the movie theater, and my little girl was so troubled that she quietly turned the handshake into a finger interlock.
The movie is average, nothing more than the story of two young men and women who have never known each other, from acquaintance, love to conflict, and finally become a family. If our relationship has always been so warm and sweet, like the sweetness of red beans in the bakery, like the moistness of cream, like the fragrance of peanuts, how good it would be. It's a pity that time will smooth out the fragrance in the air, and when business hours are over, the last salesperson sprays disinfectant and starts cleaning, and the bakery will be cold and deserted, without sweet bread, and there will be no more longing customers. Life is after the crowd disperses, the real bakery, without so much sweetness.
I think that if all love stories end with hand in hand, then it is not love. What is real love, I don't want to know, I only know that love is not only the sweetness when I first meet, the passion when I am in love, but also the tolerance and nagging in ordinary life, and finally it is the best gift that life has given me.
At the end of the day, the brake said to me, "See you next week." ”
"Okay, see you next week. I replied that it had become a little code between us, and time and distance had long been unable to trap us who wanted to be together.
That being said, by the time I was really busy and back to school, it was already Friday of the second week, and the brakes happened to have classes and could only pass me by. I used the school computer to upload the paper to the prescribed school network disk, and then I put down my heart, picked up my school bag, and walked around the library.
There is no shortage of people in the library who are immersed in books, they are like fireflies in the night, they don't need other lights - they can shine themselves. I looked at them from afar, and my energetic faces couldn't help but feel jealous. That's it, I have grown into what I am now little by little from that time, not by four years old. Of course, there will be no shortage of students in the library with a pile of books and swiping their mobile phones. Some of them swiped various social networks on the vertical screen, and some wore headphones on the horizontal screen, and from time to time there was a chuckle that could be choked. In the world, only time is the fairest for all sentient beings, it is neither more nor less, it all depends on the person's own instructions.
I didn't expect that I would be here, and I would run into mirin again.
He was holding four or five books, returning them at the main station, and vaguely heard them talking about overdue renewals, and they were sweating and fiddling with their mobile phones there, as if they wanted to charge money to the student card to pay off the overdue book fees.
I carried my bag in front of me, deliberately covered my face, and walked out the door, not wanting to be caught by him.
"Little plum?"
"Huh...... It's me. I cringed and walked over to him, "How can it be so coincidental to see you here, hehehehe." ”
"I'm returning the book here, and I haven't succeeded in deducting the fee for half an hour, can you help me take a look?" he said, with a little please, I am the person who will not refuse others, so I can only take his mobile phone hard.
"Ah, I see, have you unbound the debit card, now the card is tied, look at the card number should be a credit card. ”
"Huh, such a simple mistake?" he embarrassedly retrieved his phone and tinkered, "really, why am I so stupid." ”
"That'......" I prepared to grease the soles of my feet.
Wei Lin rummaged through his backpack and took out his wallet, in addition to his ID card, there were several membership cards inserted large and small, but there was no bank card, "Eh, my card was left at home and not brought out, what can I do." Otherwise, Auntie, you will ask me to return the book first, and I will go to the finance department to make up for the money I owe after a while, okay?"
The aunt of the main station seemed to be annoyed by him, and said: "Classmate, it's just that you haven't returned the book after being overdue for so long, and now it's difficult for me to bargain like this." Otherwise, you can take the book back and return it next time. ”
"No, no, I'm tired of moving around, besides, who is the extra few days of book billing?"
"I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming. I took out my student card from my bag, "Auntie, can you transfer the money in my card today, I'll help him get rid of it, and we'll settle the rest by ourselves, okay?"
My aunt looked me up and down: "Classmate, are you his girlfriend?"
"No, no, no. We both replied in unison.
"Then you leave him alone, let him have a long memory, and don't do this kind of thing again. ”
"No, no, no, let's pay it back first, little plum?" Wei Lin clasped his hands together and begged me for mercy.
I looked at him like this and smiled, it turned out that the one I once liked and rejected me was such a person.
From now on, I have to choose my life carefully, I have no time to think about the past, I have to move forward.
