The mystery gift incident was quickly forgotten by An Su, because she was busy with other things besides preparing for the exam during this time. That is, follow Liu Xiaoxia to learn to weave Chinese knots.

Liu Xiaoxia has a pair of skillful hands, weaving Chinese knots quickly and beautifully. She came back from nowhere, and whenever she was free, she sat on the bed and braided all kinds of knots. When she was busy, Ansu followed along and quickly learned to weave all kinds of knots from her. Chinese knots are divided into various names, such as: Tuanjin knot, auspicious cloud knot, concentric knot, safe knot, Ruyi knot...... Each knot has its own unique meaning, but at that time, Ansu only liked the weaving process of Chinese knots, and did not know the meaning.

Ansu plans to weave the best Chinese knot as a New Year's gift for Jingming. She found the bright red one from her grandmother's embroidery thread and twisted it into one strand with six strands, but it was too loose and unsuccessful. Later, she gritted her teeth and decided to take out a little of her meagre pocket money to buy a red rope for weaving Chinese knots.

During that time, many girls in the school were very busy, busy buying colored rope bracelets, or buying colorful paper folded lucky stars to give as gifts. It became a pleasure in the boring student life.

After school that afternoon, Xiang Hui walked out of the classroom with his schoolbag on his back and heard a girl in the same class in front of him say to his companion, "You can help me cook later, and I'll go back to the dormitory to get a hot water bottle." ”

"Didn't you take your thermos down?"

"I'm helping Xiaoxia and Ansu get hot water. An Su wanted to weave a Chinese knot, and Xiaoxia accompanied her to buy red rope. ”

"You say, who is Ansu weaving a Chinese knot for?"

"I don't know, she didn't say."

"Could it be the one who gave her a crystal ball for Christmas?"

"Possibly."

The two girls laughed as they spoke.

Xiang Hui heard that An Su was going to make a Chinese knot to give away, and he showed a disdainful expression. But after a while, I couldn't help but smile again.

During the Spring Festival of that year, the little monk gave a sutra book to An Su as a New Year's gift. It was the "Diamond Sutra" that he specially wrote for her, a thick book, bound with thread, the words on it are all traditional characters, and it is also an extremely elegant official book. When Ansu got his hands on it, he was crazy with joy when he smelled the ink fragrance on it. Looking at the small and elegant words on it, she couldn't help but admire it again and again. What kind of meticulous person can write that! When he got home, Ansu found a wooden box and treasured the scripture. And Ansu's New Year's gift to the little monk was a Chinese knot that she carefully weaved.

Many years later, when she was working on her graduation project, she looked through the information about the Chinese knot, and learned its classification, name and meaning. When she looked at the knot on the picture that was exactly the same as the one she gave to the little monk back then, she smiled with tears in her eyes. Because it is marked with three words: concentric knots.

Unlike in elementary school, in junior high school, teachers begin to pay attention to whether students have a tendency to fall in love. Jingming's situation is special, in the entire first grade of junior high school, including the teacher, only Ansu knows sign language. In other words, she is the only one who can communicate with Jingming without barriers, so the inseparability of the two seems to be understandable in the eyes of the teacher.

Although Shi Jingming is very good, not being able to speak will never be favored by girls. In junior high school, boys still like girls who are good-looking and can sing and dance, but the objects that girls like are no longer boys with good grades. It's a wonderful change. They either like boys in the upper grades, boys who look more mature in their grades, or boys with personality, but there must be a big premise, that is, they are good-looking. Of course, there are also some people who pursue "boys are not bad and girls don't love", which makes people wonder if they are influenced by Hong Kong and Taiwan gangster films.

Although he had known Xiang Hui for a long time and often met at school, the first time An Su observed him seriously was because of the admiration of the girls in the class.

It was the second day after the first semester of the art festival, and the students were still discussing the program of yesterday's art show. Everyone discussed with great interest for a long time, and finally agreed that the most wonderful program was not the chorus that won the first prize, but the solo dance "Phoenix Tail Bamboo in the Moonlight" of a class in the second grade of junior high school.

Ansu couldn't help but praise this dance, that is, because she watched this dance, she understood what it meant to be graceful. From then on, as long as she saw this word, she could always think of the girl who danced "Phoenix Tail Bamboo in the Moonlight". It turns out that girls can be beautiful like this. However, she will remember that this dancing girl is not entirely because of the solo dance she danced, but because of Xiang Hui.

That day, An Su and a few classmates walked out of the school building, and saw Xiang Hui pushing a bicycle and walking towards them side by side with a girl. Far away, Ansu looked at them blatantly. Not only were the two men next to each other, but they also walked very slowly, touching each other's hands from time to time as they went. While talking and laughing, the girl still slapped Xiang Hui from time to time, and he didn't have any opinions. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be flirting, and no matter how you look at it, it is ambiguous. I couldn't help but be amazed when I saw it. I think that at the beginning, Jingming helped her wipe her sweat, and he still said it was very ugly. At this time, such an ambiguous scene was staged in front of everyone's eyes. Is the world changing too fast or are people changing too fast?

An Su obviously felt the change in Xiang Hui, and as for what changed, she didn't understand it until a long time. That is, his face shows an ageless maturity. I don't know if it was due to the influence of the surrounding environment or the hormones that are unique to puberty, but the students of that period unconsciously behave in a way that does not match their age, as if this is the only way to show that they have begun to grow.

A girl in the same company suddenly said: "Look, is the girl who was with Xiang Hui the girl who danced "Phoenix Tail Bamboo in the Moonlight" yesterday?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

It's a very ordinary sentence, but it sounds so strange to Ansu. What she heard next shocked her even more.

"It is said that I just transferred to school, and I am a junior and second-level flower, and I dance very well. I heard that she was chasing Xiang Hui. They were seen dancing in the ballroom, and the woman was very good at dancing. It seems that she has caught it. ”

"Wow! She also got such a difficult object to handle, and the one who can dance is amazing. ”

"That's also a beautiful family!"

An Su listened to the gossip about Xiang Hui with her ears pricked up, and looked back at her companions, finding that they were staring intently over there. It turned out that they were not focusing on the girl who could dance, but Xiang Hui. Isn't it Xiang Hui? She didn't understand what was there to make a fuss about. After a while, she understood why it was not in the same class, everyone would know Xiang Hui. There is only one reason, that is, Xiang Hui is a celebrity in the class. Just like Jingming, all the teachers and students in the school know him. An Su thought so, and felt that it was wrong, because Jingming was famous for his excellent grades, so what was Xiang Hui's reason? As far as she knows, in the final exam of last semester, Xiang Hui's score had fallen to the top 100. She carefully observed, if she didn't look at it with prejudice, in fact, Xiang Hui had an outstanding appearance, was taller than his peers, and seemed more mature than boys of the same age, plus his facial features were excellent and his temperament was outstanding.

Soon, she learned from her peers that Xiang Hui often mingled in dance halls and dealt with young people in society, but despite this, there were still many girls who liked him. It's just that he doesn't play with girls casually, all the girls around him are beautiful women, and they are all older than him. This makes many girls who like him can only watch from afar. Of course, there is no shortage of girls who have the courage to confess to him, but they all hit a wall. Xiang Hui, who has always been proud, did not explicitly refuse or accept the girls who liked him. It is said that Xiang Hui has no officially recognized girlfriend, and this girl is currently with him the most.

As mentioned earlier, in junior high school, boys still like girls who are good-looking and can sing and dance, but many boys like to find a girl older than themselves as a girlfriend. I don't know if they have a subconscious sister love plot in their hearts, or they are anxious to prove that they have grown up.

Getting closer and closer to the two people opposite, several girls couldn't help but glance at them, and Ansu was no exception. However, she is looking at the girl, thin and tall, with slender legs, for a girl in the first and second years of junior high school, the figure is already exquisite, with a slightly brown long curly hair scattered over her shoulders, thick black eyebrows, big black and white eyes, flickering and flickering as if she will discharge, no matter how you look at it, it is enchanting. An Su thought to himself: It turns out that he likes this type of girl. Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

The girl also saw Ansu, but she just thought she was curious and didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, Xiang Hui raised his eyes and glanced at a few girls. Ansu knew that he saw himself, but his eyes did not stay on a certain person, and then continued to flirt with the girl as if nothing happened. The girl didn't take the strange eyes of passers-by seriously at all. Suddenly, Xiang Hui got on his bicycle, and the girl got into the back seat of his car, and the two walked away.

After walking away, several girls began to chirp again to continue the topic of Xiang Hui. In fact, since entering the fifth middle school, An Su has been paying attention to Xiang Hui, and for a person she often looks at in her eyes, his changes are subtle, so she didn't see that Xiang Hui has changed much. As for appearance, she has always known that Xiang Hui is good-looking, and she often sees it without the amazing feeling in everyone's eyes. At this time, when others mentioned it, she realized that Xiang Hui was really different from before.

An Su thought that she and Xiang Hui had no possibility of becoming friends.
