After I recovered from my illness, I wanted to invite Li Kai to dinner in order to repay this favor, but I was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, so I called Wen Jin, Xiaomeng and Peggy together. The location was chosen at a Western restaurant outside the school, because Xiaomeng had been saying that she wanted to eat pasta and mushroom soup since a week ago.

After Li Kai arrived, he changed his previous ice cube face, and was actually very polite to the other three people in our dormitory, and he talked more. Xiaomeng later analyzed that it was because Li Kai liked me and wanted to please the three of them.

After eating, Li Kai saw that everyone was chatting happily and was a little unsatisfied, so he asked everyone if they wanted to eat ice cream, led us to "Häagen-Dazs", and ordered ice cream hot pot. As a result, Xiaomeng's impression of him immediately increased points, and their favorability exploded.

On the way back to the dormitory, Xiaomeng winked at me slyly, "Oh, it's good, you can really think about it!" Peggy and Wen Hibiscus also nodded frequently on the side, echoing the voice.

I remembered the scene at the station before the start of school, and my parents repeatedly told me at the station before leaving, to focus on my studies first, and not to fall in love before my junior year. To be honest, because my parents are teachers, they have been strict with me since I was a child, and I have always been obedient to my parents' words. Therefore, no matter what others think, Li Kai has already drawn the Chu River and Han boundary in my heart, and he is just a "friend" who is closer than ordinary classmates, that's all, I told myself.

Christmas is coming soon, Christmas Eve of this year happens to be the weekend, as early as a few days ago, the shops and restaurants in front of the school have launched various promotional activities for Christmas, and the slogan "sales" can be seen everywhere, and the atmosphere of the festival is everywhere. Li Kai texted me and asked me where I wanted to go for Christmas. I thought about it for a moment and replied with a few words, "Ferris wheel".

At noon on Saturday, when Xiaomeng and I walked to the school gate, we saw a white Porsche parked there. The two of us looked around, looking for Li Kai's figure, and suddenly saw Li Kai open the car door and walk towards me, still holding a large blue enchantress in his hand, "Yuqiao, Merry Christmas!" ”

Xiaomeng and I were stunned. Xiao Meng was the first to react, and said with an embarrassed smile, "My light bulb is a bit big, I'd better go back to the dormitory and don't bother you!" I grabbed Xiaomeng's arm tightly, "Let's go together!" Li Kai handed me the flowers and opened the car door for us very gentlemanly.

Li Kai took us to the largest amusement park in Yicheng, we took a merry-go-round, a roller coaster and a Ferris wheel, and everyone had a great time.

At dinner, Li Kai specially picked a very atmospheric revolving restaurant, which is said to have the best steak in Yicheng. During the meal, Xiaomeng went to the bathroom under the pretext of leaving the two of us alone time.

As if he was ready, Li Kai took out a small blue box, handed it to me and said, "Christmas gift, see if you like it?" I slowly opened the package, it was a Swarovski swan necklace, Li Kai said next to him, "I accidentally saw it when I was shopping, and I felt that this chain was very similar to the feeling you gave me, noble and elegant!" He looked at me with a very different gaze than usual, with intense enthusiasm, and there seemed to be a fire beating in his eyes.

My heart fluttered, and I closed the box and gave it back to him, "It's beautiful, thank you, but I can't accept it!" "Why?" Li Kai, who has always been calm and composed, is a little nervous, I have never seen him look like this.

I have to say that it is a very proud thing to be loved by such a person, after all, he is so good. I carefully organized my vocabulary in my mind, thinking about how I could not let the next words hurt his self-esteem.

I pointed to the flower next to me, "This is the first time I've received a flower from a boy, thank you, I'm so happy!" Then he took out a box of Dove chocolates from his bag and handed it to him, "This is for you, Merry Christmas!" Li Kai didn't pick up the chocolate, but suddenly reached out and grabbed my hand, "I want you to be my girlfriend, is that okay?" His eyes were full of pleading, as if waiting for me to give him an affirmative answer.

"Li Kai, I actually came today to make it clear to you, we can only be friends." As I spoke, I tried to break free of my hand, but he grabbed me even tighter. "Why? Give me a reason! His eyes were full of anger and incomprehension, probably for the first time in his life, he was rejected. I have no plans to fall in love for the time being! I lowered my eyes, afraid to look at him.

"You're lying, you're looking at me!" I raised my head and looked at the number one person in the department on weekdays, but at this time, my facial features showed a distraught look everywhere. At this moment, Xiaomeng came back and resolved the embarrassment of the electric light. During the meal, I was absent-minded and chewed wax, and I didn't dare to look at Li Kai's expression anymore, I just wanted to end it quickly.

On the way back by car, Li Kai was terriblely silent, and I didn't say a word. Xiaomeng saw that something was wrong between us, and told a joke to try to adjust the atmosphere, but in vain. Li Kai sent us to the school gate and said, "You guys should rest early!" I went back to my home in the city. Then he slammed on the accelerator and disappeared from our sight.

After that day, Li Kai and I seemed to be strangers again, and he and another classmate switched places and no longer sat in the front row of me. He didn't run into me again on the way out of school, and he seemed to be deliberately avoiding something.

Xiaomeng and I have a very tacit understanding, everyone is silent about the events of that night, and Wen Jin and Peggy seem to see something, but I don't say it, and they don't ask.

About ten days later, Wen Jin returned to the dormitory at noon one day, and the expression on his face was a little angry, "Yu Qiao, do you know that Li Kai has a new girlfriend?" I just saw him and a girl shopping in the supermarket, and the two of them were talking and laughing hand in hand. You're right that you didn't fall in love with him, this kind of young master is all out of sight, and there is no character. "After listening to it, I made up the picture in my mind, and suddenly I felt a little empty inside, as if I had lost something.

At this time, I thought that the books I borrowed from the library a few days ago had not been returned, "I'll go out for a while!" I picked up the book, hugged it to my chest, pushed the door open and walked out.

On the way to the library, I met Li Kai, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, pushing a bicycle and walking with a girl talking and laughing, which was probably the "new girlfriend" that Wen Jin said. When passing by me, Li Kai glanced at me meaningfully, with an indescribable complexity in his eyes.

The moment I looked at him, I felt more panicked than I had ever felt before. When I hurried past them, I heard Li Kai's "new girlfriend" whisper, "Isn't that your flower?" What's going on? ”

After that day, there were more opportunities to meet Li Kai, I always met him on the way from school, on the way to the restaurant, and on the library road, I was curious how he knew my whereabouts so well, and every time we met, he was with that "new girlfriend"!

To be honest, I didn't feel at all when I saw this, it was a lie. Because deep down in my heart, I am actually very afraid of lonely people, maybe I am used to the care of my parents from childhood to adulthood, maybe I haven't adapted to living alone, Li Kai's appearance just fills the gap in this area. Especially when I was sick, he took care of me, so I have a sense of dependence on him, I can't say what it is, but it is certain that we are the same kind of people, both of whom are strong on the outside and fragile on the inside.

It didn't take long for us to have our first winter break of college. On the New Year's Day, I received a text message from Li Kai with only four words on it, "Happy New Year"! I thought about it for a moment and replied to the text message, "Happy New Year and thank you for taking care of me all the time." ”

The winter break passed quickly, and it was time for school to start again. The content of the physical education class in the second half of the year can be freely chosen, so Wen Jin signed up for the volleyball class, Xiaomeng signed up for the Korean dance class, and Peggy and I both felt that too intense sports were not suitable for us, so we signed up for the Latin dance class together. And another reason I reported Latin dancing was influenced by the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and the scene of Julie and Pitt on the dance floor made a deep impression on me.

In the first class, I suddenly found that Li Kai was also in our class. How could he also be interested in Latin dance? Peggy and I both looked at him strangely, as if they saw our questions, Li Kai's expression was also a little unnatural, and he smiled at me a little embarrassed.

When the teacher assigned a dance partner, he looked at me and Li Kai and said, "Just the two of you in a team!" "Huh?" I was surprised, but a hint of secret joy flashed on Li Kai's face, I thought I was wrong, but he smiled and said, "Great! Thank you, teacher"! Some of my classmates held back their laughter, and some couldn't help laughing, and I suddenly felt embarrassed.

During the practice, I carefully distanced myself, but Li Kai put his arm around my waist and forcefully pushed me in his direction. "Hey!" I glared at him. He pretended to be aggrieved and said, "How can you jump so far away from me?" ”

The first time I was so close to him, I was a little flustered, especially the hand he put on my waist, which made my whole body stiff, and the more I tried to relax, the more nervous I became, and I stepped on his shoes several times in the mess.

At the end of class, I looked at his shoes that were trampled on, and felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry to get your shoes dirty." Li Kai smiled and said, "You stepped on my shoes like this, should you compensate me?" I nervously asked, "What compensation do you want?" Li Kai smiled and said, "I want to eat braised vinegar fish from the South Canteen." "Yes, yes! Deal! I smiled too, and the whole person relaxed, and the awkward atmosphere disappeared.

At noon that day, we walked side by side on the road, the plane trees on both sides of the road rustled by the breeze, and the sun shone through the leaves on our young and full faces.
