Miss the sunflowers in the summer
Luoyang first met Wu Yu when he was a freshman at the Foreign Chinese College.
At that time, a lot of French plane trees were planted on the campus, and in summer, the plane trees gave birth to many tender leaves, which were transparent in the sun. Luoyang often sat under the plane tree and memorized English words.
18-year-old Luoyang, dark, chubby, fleshy has some shallow sockets on the back of his hands. She often feels like a clumsy chocolate ice cream.
Sometimes, she wished the fat on her body would melt away like ice cream.
Because of these, Luoyang's heart has always been gray. She was dressed in gray, like an invisible leaf in the corner, carefully maintaining her self-esteem.
In the summer, the counselor of the department proposed that the students go to the school for the disabled to volunteer, but Luoyang was reluctant to go.
She thought, that should be the work of handsome boys and beautiful girls, she is so ordinary, even if it is a good deed, in the eyes of God, I am afraid it will be discounted! That day, when the college's car drove to the school located in the suburbs, Luoyang's mood was as dark as ever.
In the afternoon, the two schools held a theatrical performance, and Luoyang did not participate, walking alone in the unfamiliar campus.
Then she saw a grove full of sunflowers, and the leaves of the sunflowers swayed in the wind, like white palms spread out.
The golden sunflowers, like smiling faces, swayed gently against the sun, Luoyang saw Wu Yu at a glance. Wu Yu sat under a sunflower and held a book of English words in his hand. That's a guy who loves volunteering. Every Saturday, she cycles to a school for the disabled on the outskirts of the city.
She was still shy, and when she arrived at the school gate, her head, which had been lowered, suddenly raised, even if she had greeted the doorman. Then the bicycle flew over with a "whoosh" until it flew downstairs to Wu Yu's dormitory.
And Wu Yu is an introverted boy, and congenital corneal opacity separates not only his eyes, but also his heart.
But he likes to listen to the girl next to him, Luoyang said, the water in the green stream, Ding Dong, Ding Dong; Yellow is the sweat of summer, hula, hula; White, what is white? Luoyang said that white is the color of angels, and angels are all light and have transparent wings.
On that day, the sky was clean and clear, and Luoyang was studying for Wu Yu, a thick "A Brief History of Time".
During the break, Wu Yu suddenly said: "I like you very much, do you like me?" Luoyang's face flushed, shaking his head and nodding his head, at a loss.
Wu Yu was in a hurry, and he stretched out his hand to pull Luoyang's hand. Their hands were held together, and Wu Yu said, "Your hands are very soft, you must be a beautiful girl." ”
Luoyang's heart trembled slightly, as if she had been stabbed, she looked at Wu Yu's face, that face was like a clean sunflower in summer, her retracted hand gently touched her face, round, chubby, unconsciously, the little heart shook like the "Titanic" that hit an iceberg, and slowly sank.
In the first semester of his sophomore year, Wu Yu told Luoyang that he was going to Shanghai for cornea donation surgery, and he was so excited that fine beads of sweat soaked from the tip of his nose.
He said that his parents had always felt sorry and sorry for his eyes and had been looking for a suitable cornea for him, and now they have finally found it. Luoyang's heart trembled slightly like in the wind, half of it was thick joy, half of it was faint sadness.
She and Wu Yu have no fate in the end.
Thinking about it, I burst into tears. Those tears should be joy! So that he could see with his own eyes those beautiful colors, those flying birds, those golden sunflowers...... When I returned to the school dormitory, I was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, and the phone chased me again, "Mom will come to pick me up on Saturday and go to Shanghai, will you come to see me off?" I don't know if the surgery will be painful, but with you to send me, I won't be afraid. ”
Luoyang's heart shrank into a fine grain of sand, and she said, "I will definitely come to see you off." ”
On that day, Wu Yu did not wait for Luoyang.
Over and over again, he asked his mother if he had ever seen a beautiful girl who was similar to him. The mother looked at it curiously, her classmates and teachers were all around, and there was no beautiful girl as Wu Yu said.
Luoyang, who had been in the corner, clearly saw that Wu Yu's mother's eyes swept over her face. At that moment, her heart was like a meteor across the night, and the short sparkle was extinguished immediately, she knew that this woman with a graceful temperament would not be the beautiful girl in Wu Yu's heart with such a chubby and ordinary figure.
In the eyes, the sour fluid kept flowing, flowing and flowing. She wondered, if Wu Yu's eyes could never see, would they have a future? But in reality, there is no if, there is a body that she will gain weight when she drinks cold water, and she has an ordinary appearance like an ugly duckling.
Luoyang changed her mobile phone, like a shell, closing herself tightly, when she thought about Wu Yu, she couldn't help but open the mailbox, and the mailbox was full of letters from Wu Yu.
In the letter, Wu Yu said that his eyes had fully recovered and that he had now left the school for the disabled and went to a regular school, and he asked, "Where the hell are you?" Why don't you contact me? In the next letter, he said that he could never forget her, and in his heart, she was the most beautiful girl......
She quickly closed the page, not daring to look any further. Those letters were like a fire that could burn her heart, which had been barren. How could this be, she thought? himself and Wu Yu, dinosaur and prince, were originally people from two worlds.
Time slipped by minute by minute and second by second, and two years passed. Luoyang was busy with her thesis, defense, and job search, and she kept herself busy like a train that wouldn't stop.
The only time he derailed was before graduation, when Luoyang returned to the grove full of sunflowers, those once rows of dazzling white rehabilitation training classrooms, and a lot of lost sentimentality suddenly surged in his heart.
Three years after graduation, Luoyang skipped twice badly, Luoyang at this time, still has a plump body, but when people's eyes change, this plumpness also becomes beautiful; The honey-colored skin reveals a healthy luster, which attracts the envy of other girls, and their: "Luoyang, you are so attractive that women want to hug it."
Once, the manager of the company personally went to the workshop to find Luoyang. That's an excellent man, like an international ISO9000 certification, is the fifth diamond king in the eyes of every girl.
The manager said: "Luoyang, can you make a cameo appearance as the company's simultaneous translator, there is an important meeting in the afternoon." That afternoon, in the conference hall that can accommodate 1,000 people, Luoyang's successful simultaneous translation attracted bursts of applause.
Then, he invited her to eat the best boiled fish in the capital, and invited her to see the most gorgeous autumn leaves in the western suburbs.
He said that the red leaves are like love, and Luoyang thought that her love was not the red leaves in the western suburbs, but the golden sunflowers, which were just gorgeous in summer, and they couldn't wait for autumn, like they died. So, Luoyang wanted to jump bad again.
I didn't expect to see Wu Yu again!
At the biennial World Expo, Luoyang acted as a simultaneous interpreter. There was some trouble with the English introduction of a company's agent product, and Luoyang, who had already left work, was invited to the rescue.
One of the staff had a low, nice voice. Luoyang thought how familiar this voice was, and when she looked up, she saw Wu Yu.
Wu Yu didn't recognize her. Oh, yes! He hadn't seen her before, so how could he recognize her? And he has been hiding in the softest corner of her heart.
The trouble was finally solved, the company invited Luoyang to dinner, Luoyang said no, just three words made him notice her, so focused eyes made Luoyang go against his heart, and unconsciously followed into the restaurant.
Wu Yu sat next to Luoyang, and took care of Luoyang during meals, he said: "Your voice is very good, I once knew a girl who had the same voice as you." Luoyang's heart trembled, did he say yes? Wu Yu said: "I don't know where she is now, I've been looking for her, but I can't find her. ”
Luoyang kept his head down until the end of the meal. Walking out of the restaurant, she said "goodbye" softly and kept walking.
Someone behind him called out: "Can I shake your hand?" Luoyang stood and turned around, their hands clasped together. He said, "Is that you?" Your hands are as soft as she is. Luoyang said: "No, you recognized the wrong person." ”
She didn't dare to think about it, she couldn't think about it, she just hurried forward, suddenly felt pain, bowed her head, it was a ring, flickering, encircling her thin ring finger, and also encircling her life. Tears flowed down his face.
Her former boss, the excellent man who has been certified by the international ISO9000, has been pursuing her, she is tired, tired, so she loves, although not so fiercely. But she thought it would be okay to do it so that it wouldn't hurt.
That night, Luoyang opened a mailbox that had not been opened for a long time.
There's a new letter lying in the mailbox. In the letter, he said: "Today I met a girl who has the same voice as you, but she is not you. How I wish she had been you....." In the background of the letter is a picture, overwhelmingly full of blooming sunflowers.
Luoyang cried. She thought that she and Wu Yu were imperfect, Wu Yu's imperfection lies in his eyes, and his imperfection lies in an inferiority complex and broken heart.
How she envied the sunflowers in the summer, they never cared whether they were beautiful or not, but they were in full bloom, confidently following the direction of the sun, just like a young girl following the love in her heart.
She moved the mouse, pressed Select All, then clicked Permanently Delete, and the letters disappeared in the blink of an eye.
And her love, like that golden sunflower, misses the summer, misses the sun, and will never bloom again.
