7. This night
It's a little embarrassing to say, Xu Ziran was still a little excited when he saw this love letter.
She does remember that she was a popular type when she was a student, and she didn't receive many love letters.
But after all, it's been a long time since she was a student, and she hasn't received a love letter for a long time.
She smiled a little inexplicably, thought about it, went to lock the door of the room first, then turned on the lamp, and opened the letter.
She was beaming before she opened the letter, but after opening the letter, her smile froze, and her whole person seemed to be made of cement, unable to move.
From the first line of "dear Ranran", Xu Ziran recognized it.
The person who wrote this letter was Tian Jiaqi.
Her classmates and friends began to call her "cumin" after knowing her name, Tian Jiaqi usually called her cumin, but in private, like her parents and relatives, they called her "cumin".
Tian Jiaqi wrote all the words before the age of twenty to the left/tilt, until after the age of twenty, he made up his mind to practice the words beautifully, so he bought a calligraphy and practiced for a whole year, and finally wrote a beautiful thin gold poem.
It's just that when you're inadvertent, you still reveal your childhood habits.
And the letter in front of me, the font is tilted to the left/slanted, like a row of flowers and plants bent by the wind.
Xu Ziran only looked at the beginning, then pressed the letter on the table, feeling that he couldn't stand it.
She remembered at this time that when she was in high school, she was keen to play the game of sending letters to each other with Tian Jiaqi, probably because some words were difficult to express in words, and could only be sustenance in words.
They have been playing this game tirelessly for five years, even if the universities are in two places, even if they have mobile phones and computers, they still maintain the frequency of one letter a month, as if it belongs to a small tacit understanding of them.
When did this game end?
Now that I think about it, it was in the first semester of my junior year that Tian Jiaqi began to fall in love.
Xu Ziran remembered that she walked back and forth along the road planted with magnolia for a day, and finally sat on the road in the dead of night and edited text messages to Tian Jiaqi.
She typed and deleted the sentence back and forth, but in the end she only sent a few simple words-
Forget it, I'm busy, I won't write letters.
Tian Jiaqi replied-
Good.
Now that I think about it, the goodbye that night was not as simple as a letter a month.
After so many years, Xu Ziran saw such a letter again, and felt as if he had seen something that had been lost for a long time.
She sat at the table in a daze, thinking of Tian Jiaqi, who was twenty-nine years old and didn't even notify her of the wedding, and Tian Jiaqi, who was fifteen years old and held back tears in front of her.
She remembered Qiu Yurou squatting in front of her and wiping her face with wet wipes, and said loudly as if with anger: "You are not stupid, you are not all the way at all!" ”
In the end, it was a "ding" in her head that interrupted her amazement, and the sweet female voice of the system reminded her - "Dear host, please hurry up and start learning, if you can't complete the evening limited task, you will encounter a punishment that you don't want~"
Xu Ziran trembled with fright, and suddenly forgot about the sadness and sorrow, and first opened the system panel to see what punishment he would encounter.
As a result, there was nothing else except "you don't want it to happen", Xu Ziran went to see the evening limited task again, and saw a Chinese test paper, a mathematics test paper, two English test papers, and a physics test paper......
- Heaven is going to kill me!
Xu Ziran has one head and two big.
Even if you forget Chinese and English, you may be able to do it by flipping through books, mathematics, physics, chemistry or something, and forget all about it.
Xu Ziran couldn't help but complain in his heart, just do a good love system, why bother with learning.
But at this time, she always had to do something to divert her attention, so she took out all the required test papers first, and bit the pen and did it first.
Two hours later-
Xu Ziran crumpled the scratch paper under his hand.
What kind of acceleration and deceleration mass momentum, has she really learned these things???
Xu Ziran threw the pen aside.
The one who can finish these test papers tonight in such a state of knowing nothing is not a human being, but a god!
Just reborn, can't you give people some buffer time?!
Xu Ziran didn't want to care about any punishment, she just wanted to lift the table now, and then ask God why he threw her back to the first year of high school.
Isn't freshman year good?
She impatiently pushed the paper to the side, remembering the piece of letter that had been thrown into the drawer.
I have to say that this letter also greatly interfered with Xu Ziran's concentration, and she was at least half of her mind thinking: Shall I take a look? You won't lose a piece of meat if you look at it.
Xu Ziran did ideological work for a long time, and finally took out the letter and read it word by word.
"Dear Ranran,
It's a shame that we still didn't become table mates, and I would have gone to the classroom early if I had known that the teacher would sit with us that day......"
Wrote the words on a piece of paper, said some trivial things in life bits and pieces, and the typos were blacked out and painted as a love heart, Xu Ziran remembered that this was Tian Jiaqi's habit.
And at the end of the letter, he said—
“…… Tomorrow is your birthday, I wish you a happy birthday on paper first, remember to look at the mailbox tomorrow morning, there is a surprise I have for you.
FROM+7 "Love You"
Xu Ziran was stunned in front of the table, for a long time, came back to his senses, and looked at the desk calendar on the table.
She remembered Qiu Yurou saying that today was February 23rd.
Tuesday, February 23, the 16th day of the first lunar month.
Tomorrow is the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, and sure enough, it is her birthday.
Xu Ziran clenched his fists and his throat was slightly astringent, and he suddenly felt that what he did today was really a bastard.
Fifteen-year-old Tian Jiaqi was preparing for her birthday, but she decided to part ways with the other party.
In the next ten years, they still have so many memories, and Xu Ziran actually decided to let these end early.
Xu Ziran looked at the envelope, saw the alarm clock on the table again, suddenly remembered something, suddenly got up from the chair, opened the door and ran out wearing slippers.
When she went downstairs, she stomped on the floor and crackled, and Xu's mother shouted in the room: "Ranran? What are you going out for. ”
Xu Ziran shouted: "Just at the door, look at Jiaqi." ”
She opened the door and rushed out of the yard, stopping abruptly in front of the iron gate.
Just now, she remembered it in her room.
On her fifteenth birthday, when she went home to do her homework, she read the letter and ran out, and saw Tian Jiaqi waiting at the door.
Tian Jiaqi smiled and said, "I knew you couldn't wait for tomorrow, so I'll leave it to you here." ”
At that time, it was just late, it was seven o'clock in the evening.
And now it's half past nine.
Xu Ziran walked step by step to the big iron door, and then opened the door.
The night wind was colder than expected, mixed with the damp moisture that emanated from the ground, as if it could seep through the thick soles of the shoes into the limbs.
Under the dim yellow street lamp, Xu Ziran saw Tian Jiaqi squatting on the ground against the wall, with her head down and her face buried in a scarf, like a quiet, lonely plant.
Probably because she heard the voice, she looked up, her face with tears that had not yet dried, her breath turning into white vapor floating in the cold air, and she hiccuped softly.
Tian Jiaqi didn't seem to react, and said in a daze: "Why did you come out." ”
Xu Ziran sighed helplessly: "If I don't come out, my mother has to beat me to death." ”
Tian Jiaqi snorted: "I thought you ignored me." ”
Xu Ziran rubbed her itchy nose, she was just ready to ignore Tian Jiaqi.
But now, the words must not be said like this, Xu Ziran walked up to Tian Jiaqi and squatted down, and said, "If I ignore you, you will not be able to ignore me." ”
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as she said it, Tian Jiaqi pursed her mouth, and tears poured out like a stream.
Xu Ziran panicked, didn't know what to do, and finally gently touched the bangs on the other party's forehead, and said, "Okay, okay, I'm wrong, can't I." Okay, don't cry. I said, don't cry. I was wrong, don't cry. ”
Tian Jiaqi cried, and her words were vague: "But why don't you ignore me, I, what have I done......"
Xu Ziran was speechless.
Yes, fifteen-year-old Tian Jiaqi hasn't done anything yet.
Ten years later, Qiu Yurou said that she and Tian Jiaqi were not all the way, but Xu Ziran never figured it out, if they were not all the way, what were they in the past 20 years?
- Blind?
Those memories of happy contentment and laughter were not fake, and they had thought that they would never be separated from each other.
Xu Ziran bit her lip, wiped away Tian Jiaqi's tears with the back of her hand, and couldn't help asking, "Have you ever thought that one day, we will be separated?" ”
Tian Jiaqi looked up at Xu Ziran, her eyes were full of tears, and her face was confused: "Why do you think about this?" ”
Xu Ziran raised his hand and rubbed her head: "Also, don't think about it first." ”
She touched the pocket on her body, but she didn't find a tissue, but Tian Jiaqi saw Xu Ziran's movements, took out a pack of tissues from her pocket, and began to wipe her tears and blow her nose.
Xu Ziran looked at Tian Jiaqi, whose nose was red and there were tears on her eyelashes, and couldn't help but sigh, and asked after thinking about it, "Where is my gift?" ”
Tian Jiaqi pouted: "In the mailbox, I thought you wouldn't come out." ”
When Xu Ziran heard this, he also felt a dull pain in his heart, stood up and opened the mailbox, and took out the beautifully packaged gifts inside.
Of course, she knew what was inside, but she still asked, "What is this?" ”
Tian Jiaqi was embarrassed: "You go back and dismantle it, it's really cold outside." ”
Xu Ziran saw the other party's frozen pale cheeks and inconspicuously trembling body, guilt surged like a tide, and hurriedly said, "Go back quickly, take a hot bath, otherwise you will catch a cold like me." ”
Tian Jiaqi glanced at Xu Ziran, probably because of the reconciliation, she looked very happy, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were all smiling.
She said, "If you catch a cold, you must have infected it." ”
After saying that, he turned around and ran home.
The long camel-colored scarf fluttered in the cold wind, and the fifteen-year-old girl was so happy that even her back seemed to be happy.
Xu Ziran looked at this scene with a complicated expression, suddenly remembered something, and his face changed.
She hurriedly shouted to stop Tian Jiaqi.
Xu Ziran: "...... That, I borrowed my homework to copy. ”
If you can't do the homework in the system, if you can't hand in the teacher's homework tomorrow, the world will turn black.
