《You and me》
Text/Sheng Qiuyue [盛秋冄]
My name is Yun Jie, and I live in a small city. But the amazing thing is that there is a military district next to my house. Since I was a child, I didn't have many friends because of my introversion. After Mom and Dad went to work, they would sit alone in their rooms and read books. With the sound of children playing happily in the compound of the military region, the book was my best friend at that time...
"I accidentally walked into that little girl at your noon, and you, you are the glittering elf destined to walk into my life, the protector at the end of my world."
Finally, one afternoon, I passed by the military compound because I wanted to help my mother go downstairs to make soy sauce. I saw a large number of children about my age inside, under the blue sky, under the bright sun, they were running freely, shouting, laughing, waving their arms, and calling nice names. Among them was a short-haired child, who was taller than the others, with long arms and feet that moved nimbly between all the children. The porcelain-white skin sparkles in the sunlight. That feeling of cleanliness, freedom, unrestrainedness, and envy suddenly overflowed in my heart.
Later, I was criticized by my mother for buying soy sauce for too long. But it didn't make much of an impression on me. And that afternoon, the afternoon that made me see freedom, especially the way the tall child ran back and forth among the others, the expression of wanton laughter, the chic movement of sweating, the smug eyebrows of the eyes when the conspiracy succeeded...... It's all deeply imprinted in my little brain, full of it.
"You turned on the light for my heart, and the whole world brightened, and even the color of the sky changed."
Since then, I have often gone to work after my parents go to work, no longer sitting alone in the room to read, but secretly running to the military compound next door, across the fence, watching the children play inside. Look at what new games they have today, which child accidentally falls, and who has an awkward relationship with whom.
But no matter what, the tall child always smiled and played a leading role among these children. Every time she comes, things will be resolved smoothly.
Occasionally, I would secretly want to join them. But I was soon defeated by my inferiority complex and fear. So. I was just outside the fence, watching the sun shine inside, and I came silently and left silently every day. Several times, the tall boy saw me, but I had to run away. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that this thin white arm, like an elf, will find me as a thief who is stealing their pleasure and greedily sucking their freedom.
One particularly sunny day, I stood outside the fence as always, and fled after being found as always. However, what was different this time was that I was in too much of a hurry during the escape and accidentally fell. As I struggled to get up, I saw a pair of slender legs. I looked up, a face that was already turning around in my mind, the face that shone in the sun every day. I couldn't see her face clearly for a while, the snow behind her was white, the sweat on her body was refracted by the sunlight into countless small rainbows, and I seemed to see the steaming water behind her.
With a slight gasp, she crouched down and looked at me. I got caught eventually......
She patted the dust on my body, saw the bleeding wound on my leg that I didn't even have time to see, and asked me with concern, "It hurts." I nodded silently, the dust on my body was patted off, and I seemed to shine as she watched me.
She took me home, helped me wipe the medicine, and told me that her name was Weixia.
So, I walked into her world, a world that is always sunny.
We have been inseparable ever since, and we went to school together. Every day we go to school together, go home together, play together, and do homework together. Even though we weren't in the same class, I would go to her every time I got out of class, and sometimes she would come to me. We seem to have endless things to talk about, as if we have endless laughs. Those happy days flowed like flowing water.
Sometimes after school in the afternoon, Weixia would go to play volleyball with her classmates, and I would buy her a cold soda and sit on the edge of the playground waiting for her to return, never taking my eyes off her. She laughs, she runs, she jumps, and she turns to me with a smug look on her lips after each score. She would tell me about the intensity of the battle during the break, and then wait for my endless praise. We share the joy and all the happiness.
Often by the time we get home, the sun is already set. The school was gone, and our voices echoed over the empty campus. When we got out of school, we would buy a large marshmallow and lamb skewers on the side of the road and share them. We enjoy the joy of eating two things for one person's money.
Of course, school life is not so smooth and brilliant every day. We will also be depressed by our grades, criticism from our parents, and misunderstandings from our classmates. I will also be bullied by my male classmates in the class. But the difference is that we have two people and we can share the burden.
It's okay to snuggle up together and say something if you don't have anything, or to curse together to vent your anger. Just together. We thought at the time, just be together. As long as we are together, the sharpest thorns, the most dangerous horizontal ditches, we can bravely overcome the thorns and thorns, brave and fearless.
"When I think of these things, I feel sad, and when I am sad, my heart is like an invisible hole that is falling down, all the while. Every time I thought it was the end, it still fell, and I didn't know where the end was. ”
Later, because of the move, our happiness was interrupted.
From then on, there were no more lively white elves around me. My happy life has collapsed. All of a sudden, the sparkling days of no heart and lungs were over.
So I began to live quietly again, living a life without wind and flowers. Although the sun is still shining. But it doesn't have the warmer temperatures it used to be.
I read books alone, went home alone, wrote homework alone, and faced all the difficulties alone. I will secretly shed tears on many nights with or without stars, and I will miss Weixia very strongly, very strongly when I am wronged, sad and lonely. I always silently pray to heaven that we will see each other again.
I miss you so much, your sweat is refracted by the sun, countless small rainbows, and then take me home to tell me the day you are called Weixia.
"I want to appear in front of your house on a ** warm morning, hold a large bouquet of dew-stained wild chrysanthemums, and embrace you with the wings of an angel of happiness."
I've got some friends, some friends who don't matter. The days I used to spend with Weixia were getting farther and farther away from me, as if it was a dream. I was slowly unsure that an ordinary person like me would have elf-like friends and such a snow-white and dazzling day. I guess all of this is a beautiful dream in my introverted imagination.
Day after day, year after year.
I've grown up and I'm able to face a lot of things on my own. And the childhood memories of Weixia began to fade away. There are boys who like me. We will also walk on the road sprinkled with gold by the sunset, feel the spring, summer, autumn and winter, and feel the days pass by me day by day.
I went to the university of my dreams, in a wild chrysanthemum blooming season.
The university is beautiful. It's another sunny afternoon. I was walking alone on the way to the dormitory. Passing by the playground, I saw a group of people playing volleyball lively. There were a lot of people there who enthusiastically cheered on the people who played. Everywhere is full of free youth. One glance at them brought back a little bit of the fence memory.
I shook my head. Tell yourself that you shouldn't be cranky anymore. At that moment, I was hit hard in the back of the head, and with a violent dizziness, I fell to the ground. Faintly I could hear the panicked cries of the crowd and the sound of intricate footsteps, and vaguely saw a pair of slender legs running towards me. I raised my head slightly, perhaps because the sun was too dazzling, as if I saw a face that had turned around in my mind, the face that used to shine in the sun every day. I couldn't see her face clearly for a while, the snow behind her was white, the sweat on her body was refracted by the sunlight into countless small rainbows, and I seemed to see the steaming water behind her being stirring up.
My heart tightened, my eyes were hot, and tears were falling......
"Do you know about mirages? A dying man in the desert will see the best things in the world sparkle not far from him. ”
My tears flowed and flowed, like pearls with broken threads, and they rolled down to the ground one by one, and I heard someone shouting in my ear, "Yunjie?" Are you Yun Jie? ”
I cried and kept nodding, I'm Yunjie I'm Yunjie, but who are you? With a slight gasp, she crouched down and looked at me. Again, I couldn't imagine I could be so close to her. Once again, I saw her, a person as beautiful as an elf. She gently pulled me up and said, "I'm Weixia."
I felt the sun blooming behind me.
Did I live in a dream again, or did I finally wake up from a dream?
I don't want to think about it anymore. The feeling of warmth that Weixia really felt like she was holding my hand was very real. We're together again. My world is shining again.
I watched her play as before, watching her walk through the crowd with nothing but a big smile on my face. We climbed mountains together, sang together, and squandered happiness together. I don't know what that feels like. It's just that there's a weightlessness and dizziness of the soul being pulled out.
Once again, the whole world has been muddyed. I felt that I was just stuck with chewing gum like her, and even if I flew up to 10,000 meters in the air, I kept tearing. That's how we're disconnected.
We love each other, we love each other so much. No matter how big the world is, I know you, you know me, you will see each other laughing happily in the distance, and you will want to shed tears for one of us at a certain moment in the middle of the night.
Then be content, be content, and be content
Then cherish it, cherish it, cherish it
"No matter how rainy or sunny, day or night, as long as I have traces of you in my hands, the golden sunshine will illuminate my world in the blink of an eye, and sprinkle warmth on my shoulders. Then I seemed to see your transparent eyes and hear your transparent voice, so every moment of my life was shining with translucent brilliance. ”
If I don't meet you in this world, I will die in the twilight of my life.
We walked on the street with warm sunshine and sweet flowers, and everywhere was full of spring.
"Fate has made us toss and turn several times in order to meet you again. Foam will never be separated. ”
-Theend-
