Chapter 60: Looking Back
After eating at the small restaurant, Su Can and Su Xiaoxiao left the restaurant and did not go back to the second middle school directly, but came to a boulevard for a walk.
The boy's neighbor is warm, and the girl is plain and elegant, and she is speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao has been thinking about the previous things, why did he know that he loves coconut water the most, but he has never told anyone, he can't think about it, and he can't figure it out, the girl's heart is a little confused, and she is entangled in the gains and losses.
Cross Street.
This is a bustling street, people come and go, the goods in the shops are dazzling, the spring breeze of reform has already blown all over every corner of the land of China, the atmosphere of ancient and modern, like two black and white lines intersecting with each other, and the sound of sales, whistles, and noises are integrated, gray and white telephone poles are high and densely covered with cables, pigeons fly, drop a few white feathers, and look at the two curiously.
Su Can and Su Xiaoxiao are among the two people in the red dust city, like a flat boat moving lightly in the wind, weaving a colorful dream in the mottled summer of tree shadows.
On the corner of the street, there is an ice cream roll, which contains three flavors of ice cream: chocolate, strawberry, and orange.
Su Xiaoxiao blinked and looked at Su Can, her long eyelashes moving gently.
The person who sold ice cream was an old grandmother, who looked at Su Can and Su Xiaoxiao kindly, and said with a smile: "It's very comfortable to eat ice cream in summer, 5 cents a piece, not expensive." ”
Su Can saw Su Xiaoxiao's appearance of a little gluttonous cat, and laughed silently.
Bought her a strawberry ice cream and a pack of melon seeds at the dazzling commissary, and the two turned to leave.
The two walked for three or four minutes, and before they knew it, they came to the stop sign of the No. 8 bus.
The green-painted stop sign is covered in rust.
Then because there were not many people waiting for the bus under the stop sign, as soon as the No. 8 bus drove over, Su Xiaoxiao beckoned, the bus stopped, and she took Su Can on the bus.
"Let's sit in the back row." Su Xiaoxiao saw that there were only three or three people in the car, sat in it with a deep sense of sleep, and turned back to Su Can and said.
"Hmm." Su Can followed Su Xiaoxiao to the back two rows of seats.
The two of them sat side by side on the two seats, Su Xiao opened her pink cherry lips slightly, stretched out her little tongue to lick the ice cream, and then smiled lightly at Su Can.
Su Can's eyes were full of clean color, reflecting a fragrant fragrance.
The sun hit his face, and he was slightly in a trance.
Many boys have fantasized about being sixteen, seventeen or eighteen, when the youth is just right, the sun is shining, the white floc is flying through the sky, and there is a beautiful girl who is intimate with you, not a lover is not just a friend, but something in between.
You walk side by side through the playground with mottled shadows, fingertips touching fingertips, if there is no ambiguity, there is a small beauty that others can't envy.
Sometimes you don't need to say anything, but your heart still knows each other.
Then on weekend afternoons, pretty girls sit with you on the bus in the afternoon, sitting in the penultimate or third row, and there are only two or three empty people in the whole bus. She leans quietly on your shoulder, you play with her long jet-black hair, and the bus goes back and forth on the streets, walking through every street.
Not to time or place, not to care about the end and the end, when the girl's long hair falls on the boy's face through the sunlight, the feeling is gentle.
Time stands still in this moment, and it is good enough.
Boys also fantasized about taking their beloved girl and riding her bicycle through the bluestone-paved streets, watching the rise and fall of the century-old shop, coming out of the depths of time and history, and walking out of the pimple-ridden youth.
However, reality is reality, and life is not so bloody and yy a lot of the time.
Many boys don't have a girl who is as white as the moon, and the bus at one o'clock in the afternoon is not just two or three people who can sit in the penultimate or third row at will, and the bicycle may not be able to carry the girl's body.
For many boys, life may be uneventful from junior high school to college.
Graduated from college peacefully, and then returned to that small city, found a job that was not good or bad, got a salary that was not high or low, and then had a marriage with a girl who had no bright spots in high school, and then quietly spent a life that was not good or bad, but not very bad.
There is no intimate girl, no excellent and dazzling grades, and no good-looking looks, the only companion who does not dislike it is probably the pimple face, this is life.
So Su Can is very lucky and happy.
A girl in white with pale eyes and a pink confidant who laughs like a bright moon.
Su Can tilted his head, looked at Su Xiaoxiao's slightly upturned melon seed face, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, where are we going?" ”
"Su Xiaocan, you'll know later." Su Xiaoxiao sold Guanzi, licking pink strawberry ice cream like a kitten.
Su Can can't do anything about this quirky little girl, anyway, it was half past two in the afternoon, and even if he had to go back to school, it was too late, so he could only choose to skip class.
Bus No. 8 took two people to the North Street pontoon bridge site, outside the window along the river, and rows of camphor were planted on the side.
Get off the bus by the station, Su Xiaoxiao pulled Su Can's sleeves.
"Why did you get to the pontoon bridge along the river?" Su Can asked suspiciously.
Su Xiaoxiao saw a small shop along the river, and the sign outside said that the pontoon bridge would go out of the rental car by itself, and said to Su Can: "The weather is good today, let's go ride a bicycle." ”
"I had to skip class in the afternoon."
Su Xiaoxiao's black and white eyes were very bright, and said: "Don't worry, I helped you ask for leave, it's okay to skip class, your homeroom teacher won't say anything about you, you just put a hundred hearts, let's have a good time this afternoon." ”
Su Can was a little unbelievable, Su Xiaoxiao looked so quiet, but there was a quirkiness in her bones that was different from other girls.
The average student who would go to play on a Monday afternoon and ask for leave from the teaching office came and succeeded, which is not something that ordinary families can do.
It was only now that Su Can felt that this smiling girl had an invisible power behind her.
There is nothing left along the river along the pontoon bridge on North Street except for the barbecue stalls, but the barbecue stalls are only open at night, so there are not many people now.
And since the tree-planting activities along the river last year, many camphor and sycamore trees have been planted along the river, and the environment is beautiful, and the cement paved road is flat, which is suitable for bicycles to play along the river.
Su Can and the others came to the shop where the bicycle was rented, and an old man was sitting on a rattan chair reading Jin Yong's martial arts novels with glasses.
Hearing Su Can say that he wanted to rent a bicycle to ride along the river, he said without raising his head, go pick up a car, and pay a deposit of 10 yuan when he is optimistic.
Su Can saw that this old man was looking at Jin Yong's martial arts very obsessively, so he didn't bother him anymore.
Then he picked a bicycle with a back seat with Su Xiaoxiao.
Originally, she chose a self-propelled cloak car that was stepped on by two people, but Su Xiaoxiao insisted on asking Su Can to carry her, Su Can had to listen to her, anyway, her body was so light, and it was easy to carry her.
"Let's go!" Su Xiaoxiao's fingers lifted the corners of Su Can's clothes, his right hand was tightly clenched, and he bent his legs slightly in a sideways posture, and his white fingertips waved towards the sky at 45 degrees.
"Sit tight and set sail!"
As soon as Su Can stepped on the bicycle, the wheels began to turn, following a few people who were riding bicycles.
Riding a bicycle with a beautiful girl and shuttling freely along the river...... This is the romantic appearance that many young people look forward to, Su Can's heart throbbed inexplicably, thinking of the future failed life, and looking back on the current days, he is really happy.
Shocked to look back.
There will be many chance encounters in this life, and because of a certain event, a certain person, or a certain scenery, or a certain journey, our lives will have many twists and turns or ups and downs. But no matter what, there are always a few things, and there is always such a person, which makes you forget, sigh and regret.
Along the way, the starlight you encounter regrets your youth and warms your future.
