"Excuse me, but who is this?" Gao Xin noticed the man next to Xia Qixi at this time, and then saw the two overlapping hands, and immediately understood: "Oh, this must be your boyfriend." He took the initiative to reach out his hand.

Although shaking hands is a kind of universal understanding, Xia Qixi still feels weird, can two strangers really respect each other because of a brief finger touch. However, Chen Ziyu still shook hands with him very friendly, just because of his last sentence.

"By the way, tomorrow is Chen Cheng's wedding, do you want to attend? There are a lot of classmates who will go, just take this opportunity to get together, since graduating from high school, there is no news of you, if you go they must be happy. ”

"Who is Chen Cheng?" Xia Qixi looked at Gao Xin suspiciously, should she know this person?

Gao Xin gasped: "No, you don't even remember him, it was your back table when you were a freshman in high school, and you were in the same class as me after a sophomore in arts and sciences, I liked you for three years, I often sent you reference books, and I also sent you photos when I graduated, are you thinking about it?" ”

Chen Ziyu was a little unhappy now, and he was just going to treat this classmate differently because he took the initiative to confirm the identity of Xia Qixi's boyfriend. Now Chen Ziyu will definitely not be grateful to him for revealing that he once had a three-year rival in love, and he still has the same surname as himself.

Xia Qixi was a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly: "You're talking about Chen Yue, it's just a classmate in the first year of high school, and I haven't been in touch since I was assigned to a class." ”

Gao Xin suddenly realized, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, when he was in school, he was still called Chen Yue, and then he changed it because he was always misunderstood as a girl, hehe, he was embarrassed to admit it because he was in front of his boyfriend, he likes you, but the boys in our class know it!" ”

Xia Qixi could only continue to laugh awkwardly, completely speechless. Because she had too little contact with when she was in school, she really didn't know that this Gaoxin was such a big-mouthed person, although he was enthusiastic, he spoke too indiscriminately.

The two people in front of him didn't speak, and the expressions on their faces were weird, and Gao Xin realized that he might have said the wrong thing. But what she said was spilled water, and it was impossible to take it back, so she could only insist that Xia Qixi asked for her mobile phone number, saying that she would send the time and place of tomorrow's wedding to her mobile phone later, so she hurriedly said goodbye.

"Do you want to keep going?" Xia Qixi looked at Chen Ziyu, who didn't seem to be very happy.

"You'd better explain to me first, if you go down, will someone suddenly appear again, saying that it is your first love*, I have to be mentally prepared."

Such a cold voice, what is it if it is not angry? I have to persuade a few words: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I went from junior high school to high school, because my face was full of acne, I didn't know how to dress up, my temper was still very stinky, and the personnel were very bad, how could there be boys like me." ”

However, in the matter of whether anyone likes her in the end, Chen Ziyu believes in the words of Gao Xin, who is also a man. He also came from his student days, and he clearly knows what these boys will talk about behind their backs, and who likes which girl is not a secret among boys at all.

"Then you, have you ever secretly liked a boy, who was your first love? Is it the one who gets married tomorrow? Chen Ziyu took Xia Qixi's hand and continued to walk slowly step by step, and at the same time looked forward to hearing a little secret that belonged to her in the place where she was born and that he didn't know.

"First love?" Xia Qixi thought about it carefully: "There should be such a person, but I don't think it should be considered a liking, but I was attracted by his unusual behavior and maverick personality." ”

Chen Ziyu didn't speak, and Xia Qixi continued.

In her first year of high school, she left her parents completely and started living on campus. There are ten girls in a dormitory, and she doesn't have a good relationship with 6 of them, and the remaining 4 people, in addition to herself, one is her tablemate, and the other two are also relatively withdrawn, so it's hard to say if they sympathize with each other. Several classes attend physical education classes together, and the girls are almost always bored in aerobics and volleyball, which she is afraid of and always absent-minded.

When I was bored, I wandered around the huge playground with a pair of eyes, and accidentally found the boy wearing a school uniform on the basketball court. Compared with the boys who play basketball, he is not tall, and his skills are not very good, but he always looks extremely serious, with a pair of small eyes, and he is always squinted into a slit.

Xia Qixi was very fascinated by the flowers in the meteor garden when he was in junior high school, and after meeting this boy, he felt that the two of them had the same melancholy eyes.

That kind of look is easy to recognize at a glance in the crowd. Later in gym classes and recess exercises, she would always easily find them in the crowd. In addition to the fixed date to wear the school uniform, he has a lot of blue clothes, white sneakers, and his eyes are very melancholy at all times.

High school girls are very hypocritical, and after reading too many Guo Jingming's novels, looking at the sky at a 45-degree angle has become a classic at that time. But that boy always has this posture too.

However, Xia Qixi didn't want to know his name or more information about him because of this. didn't write him in his diary in the usual way that girls had a crush on a boy at the time. With her intelligence at the time, she couldn't even keep busy studying, and she didn't keep a diary at all.

She seems to regard him more as a kind of sustenance in the boring life, watching him play basketball with a not too tall person, she feels that it is a kind of courage, and regards his various blue clothes as a manifestation of personality. It wasn't until after graduation that Xia Qixi realized that she actually saw her own shadow in that boy.

Throughout high school, she was almost alone, and if she hadn't worked hard to improve herself in her studies, I'm afraid even the teacher would have ignored her existence.

"Everyone has a past that they don't want to remember, it's okay, isn't everything okay now, don't be sad." Chen Ziyu suddenly stopped and held Xia Qixi in his arms.

Chen Ziyu is right, this is indeed a past that makes her feel sad every time she thinks about it, and the setbacks she encountered when she first joined the work are nothing as long as they are compared with those in junior high school or high school.

Xia Qixi broke free from Chen Ziyu's arms: "I mentioned it today, so I said it by the way, don't worry, I'm not so sad anymore." ”

Yes, on the road of growth, people will always encounter a lot of unexpected twists and turns, be strong, and get through it will naturally have a more splendid river and mountain. But occasionally a few people who can't survive it are deeply trapped in it, and time has turned everything in time upside down, but the people trapped in it still stay in the past time and can't fight themselves.

The one that binds their feet and makes them lose the courage and joy of life is only two words, inferiority.

Fortunately, when Xia Qixi was in college, he realized this, so he was able to come out of the figure of inferiority. And Chen Ziyu is also because he knows the hardships that these two words will bring to people, so he will feel more sorry for the people in front of him.

Now, no matter how big the wind and rain are, the woman who is completely like a desert rose was once a weak and helpless little girl.

"Then it's better to tell me about the person who has liked you for three years, so that I can get to know him well and see if he is worthy of being my rival."

After Chen Ziyu finished speaking, he pinched Xia Qixi's chin with a wicked smile, and quickly dropped a kiss on her cheek, and before Xia Qixi reacted to the ancient times, he had already turned around and pretended to look at the ripe fruit on the tree.

The current Chen Cheng is also the Chen Yue of the year. He is the third child in the family, and there are two older sisters on it. At that time, family planning was still very strict, and in order to make the boy's family punished, he couldn't even eat a full meal. He was born in the first lunar month, and there was a full moon night on the fifteenth day, so he simply named Chen Yue.

On the first day of school for freshmen in high school, when the teacher called the name, everyone was already a delicate girl, but it turned out to be a swarthy boy who stood up. There were many more things like this after that.

has just entered the life of high school, in addition to the freshness, for Xia Qixi is more of an inadaptability to the new life. The first time I lived in a house with 9 girls of the same age, the previous gap between the families made them unable to adapt to each other's lives for a while, and the beginning was not smooth and bumpy.

There are twice as many students in the class as in junior high school, and each teacher treats students differently. There are those who like to study well, and there are those who like to be able to speak, even if they are not these two, at least they must have a lovely appearance, at least they will not attract the disgust of teachers and classmates.

The small grades in junior high school that were earned by hard work are not worth mentioning here at all. The course couldn't keep up, the teacher didn't pay attention to it, and Xia Qixi gradually lost interest in learning. In addition, when he was a freshman in high school, he did not distinguish between arts and sciences, and Xia Qixi's grades in all science subjects were a mess, not to mention passing, and they didn't even exceed 30 points.

After the first mock test at the beginning of the school year, seats are assigned according to the results. The better the results, the higher the front, and Xia Qixi naturally did the back. The development of high school boys has far surpassed that of girls, and some people are only suitable for sitting in the last row of the class, and Xia Qixi sits in the penultimate row.

Chen Yue sat at the back because of her height, although she was long and black, and had two obvious mustaches, she didn't look very clean, but because she studied well and was honest, she was a bit of a member in the class.

Xia Qixi only counted with him because in a math class, she secretly read a novel below, but was discovered by the teacher and called up to answer questions.
