[152] Like a man drinking water
Lin Xuan picked up his mobile phone after hesitating slightly, connected the phone, and said "hey" gently, and then heard Xu Qingru's soft voice as always, and said, "Lin Xuan, have you returned to Yicheng?" ”
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "I arrived at one o'clock at noon, finished eating, and then played two games with Qianqian, and just turned off the computer." ”
Xu Qingru let out a soft "um", sounding a little more joyful.
Lin Xuan was silent, in fact, when the phone rang, he had already guessed that Xu Qingru had probably watched the live broadcast, so the phone rang just after the live broadcast ended, and asking him if he had arrived in Yicheng in this case was obviously a temptation of attitude.
Emotional things, such as people drinking water, know whether they are warm or cold.
Since the campus confession incident before the college entrance examination, Lin Xuan has been trying to euphemistically end the hazy ambiguity between the two that should have ended in a way that would not hurt her, and after getting together that night, Lin Xuan and Xu Qingru have only met twice, the first time was a chance encounter in Yulong Square that night, and the second time was the final of the City Internet Cafe League, she went to the scene to watch the game.
There is a saying that people who like you have time all the time, and people who don't like you are always busy.
This is an obvious new number.
Women's minds are already more delicate than men, Xu Qingru is a very smart girl, some classmates and girlfriends may think that Lin Xuan has been busy, first the Internet café league, then traveling, and accompanying his sister to broadcast live...... But Xu Qingru, as the "drinking man", could not detect Lin Xuan's change in attitude.
Although when chatting with her, it will be as easy to reply as you can, and the tone is the same, but compared with before, it is obviously less enthusiastic and more peaceful.
This is not the attitude of a boy in love.
She didn't ask anything, and even some of the dating hints that she "had time" and "were relatively idle" were very few, so that now, Lin Xuan clearly knew that she was aware of her thoughts, but it was difficult to guess her reaction.
Sadness, loss, incomprehension, shame, or something else?
Nothing is noticeable.
She has a very good family background, a scholarly family, her ears and eyes are intimidated, and she also loves poetry and literature, and she has a quiet temperament at a young age, quiet and elegant, which is very attractive to her, but it also makes her prematurely develop the habit of emotional restraint.
Whether it's like, sad, lost...... No matter how turbulent the bottom of the heart is, the surface will still be gentle and tranquil.
For a long time, not only others, but even she herself may sometimes not be able to understand her true emotions in time, just like refusing to confess a few months ago, that refusal may have some other considerations, such as the college entrance examination is approaching, I hope that both parties can concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination, and other times can be postponed.
However, what is closer to the truth is that she didn't realize her feelings for Lin Xuan at that time, not only classmates and friendships, but also good feelings for men and women.
Of course, Lin Xuan here is the one who is very attentive to her, from homework to hobbies, from the Book of Poetry to Byron, from Su Dongpo to Tagore, from Nalan Rongruo to Shakespeare, from the sea to the universe, from ideals to life, from a dream last night to a party tonight...... Lin Xuan, who has similar interests and has nothing to talk about.
Instead of Lin Xuan, who counted down his grades every time and even affected his father, he was embarrassed, addicted to games, skipping classes, having early love, fighting, and squatting in the police station several times to be disciplined.
Of course, Lin Xuan doesn't have to worry about the philosophical question of who is who or what, in the final analysis, it is just the different growth of the same self in different environments.
Growing up in this environment, she and she can indeed be like-minded friends and even lovers, maybe they can support each other in the future, and go through the ups and downs of a long life, but no matter what, no matter what the reason, their personality has changed, this is a fact that cannot be changed, and if you force it to continue, it will only destroy everything in the past.
Knowing that there will be no good results, it is better to leave a good start, even if it is a regret, at least it will become a good memory that will suddenly be remembered at some point in the future.
I feel guilty, but I don't regret it.
In the final analysis, I don't blame her, and of course I don't blame myself, there is no reason for such a thing as feelings, what is right or wrong? If you really want to throw a pot, then smash the author's head.
"How do you feel when you go out to play for so many days, are you tired?"
Xu Qingru's little joy in the "um" just now obviously means that she has some things on her mind in recent days, hoping that it is an illusion, but worrying is not an illusion, in this tangled mood, a simple temptation, Lin Xuan's frank and meticulous answer, undoubtedly tilted the balance in her heart.
When you like someone, no matter what they do, you feel like they like you.
If you don't talk about the three major illusions in life, what you like is also like you, and you are ranked first.
Lin Xuan, who noticed that her voice was delicate and more and more joyful, suddenly felt a little sad, after all, everyone is humble in the face of love, the more people who care, the more cautious they are, they will doubt themselves because of some small things, and they will be so happy that they can't sleep because of some inconspicuous things.
People who really care about feelings will have the experience of punctuating for half an hour.
This kind of mood is completely understandable to him, because he has personally experienced, including the most painful and difficult days, will be shrouded in all kinds of negative emotions, after the real past, and then look back on the past, everything will be downplayed, the past pain will become the cornerstone of your growth, the person who gave you pain, maybe should also say: thank you for helping me grow.
Or take a step back, whether it is Jiang Yuqing, Xu Qingru or Jiang Qianyu, who hasn't made a few affectionate boys sad and suspicious of life?
When he used all kinds of nonsense to offset some emotions in his heart, Lin Xuan had already calmly spoken, and said with a smile: "It's a little tiring to play for such a day, but it's okay, everything has recovered after two games...... What about you, what are you doing? ”
"I'm still looking at the application for the exam, I don't know what major to apply for, my parents want me to develop in foreign languages, and I want to apply for Chinese, and then I'm actually quite interested in Wenbo, so entangled......"
Xu Qingru said softly about some of his troubles, and then asked the real reason for the call: "What about you, have you figured out how to apply for the exam?" ”
Lin Xuan wanted to wait for the college entrance examination out of tactfulness, and she was obviously waiting for the college entrance examination out of reserve.
That's when everything is finally decided.
Lin Xuan sighed in his heart and said with a smile: "Do you have time now?" I haven't seen each other in days. ”
"Huh?"
The sudden appointment made Xu Qingru a little surprised, but he quickly said, "I...... Now, it doesn't seem like there's anything going on......"
"Then come out, do you want to eat something, or drink something?"
"It's all good."
"How about that dumpling restaurant near your house? I remember the last time I visited, and the taste and environment were quite good. ”
"Okay, I can run a little less, but I'm going to trouble you to run a little farther."
"It's okay, I'll tell you over there."
"Hmm."
Lin Xuan hung up the phone, stood in place and was stunned for two seconds, and then exhaled, but he went to tell Jiang Qianyu that he wanted to go out, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw her standing outside the door in a lake-green dress, and he didn't have a surprised expression when he came out, only looking at him with those bright eyes.
