Chapter 44: The Birds and the Fish
Rabindranath Tagore wrote an article called "The Love of Fish and Water", and Su Xiao knew that this article was in the "Selected Works of Tagore" bought in midsummer. The whole article is singing about love, but Su Xiao only remembered one sentence, and that sentence touched Su Xiao very much.
The phrase is - the fish says to the water: You can't see my tears, because I'm in the water.
Midsummer hugged "Selected Works of Tagore" and said in surprise, "Wow, it turns out that Xiaoxiao likes this sentence?" It feels so lonely. ”
"Is there one? I just feel like myself, I like this sentence, don't you think it's midsummer? ”
"I don't think so."
Midsummer didn't know, at that time, Su Xiao only had one sentence in his heart, you don't understand me, I don't blame you.
Some people say that fish like blue birds, but the only thing that fish really can't do without is water. Midsummer said that Su Xiao likes A, but what Su Xiao really likes is her Midsummer.
A one-sentence memory, after the recollection, back to the present, the present and the past overlap.
Su Xiao secretly opened the door of Midsummer's room, and her Midsummer was still asleep. She looked at Midsummer, who was already asleep, and gently brushed her hand over Midsummer's face, and Midsummer had lost a lot of weight.
Su Xiao suddenly let go of her hand pinching Midsummer's face, and she said to herself, "If you knew that I liked you, would you hate me?" After finishing speaking, Su Xiao gently closed the door, and the gaze in her eyes did not dissipate until the door was completely closed.
Like is relative, but crush is one-sided, the joint contribution of two people is love, and the crush of one person is unrequited love. Of these two, one is equal and the other is a person's unilateral contribution. But secretly liking someone, won't you unconsciously be humble?
Su Xiao himself knows how humble he is, and of course he also knows that this forbidden crush will have a beginning and an end, Su Xiao asked himself, is it wrong to like someone?
Exactly? But who told you to like a straight girl. You have to know the price of everything, and when you realize that you like someone who doesn't like you, you have to have the awareness of being left aside by her (him).
The price of liking someone who doesn't like you is to be sad for the rest of your life until you stop liking her (him). Don't ask why? Because she (he) doesn't like you Su Xiao, of course she has to leave you aside to cool off.
Su Xiao is going to do something that is particularly brave for herself today, brave enough to do everything, this is for A's agreement and for the throbbing of her heart.
When I was cleaning up a pile of things on the dresser, I found a photo from a long, long time ago, which had long since been yellowed. I have also seen this photo in midsummer, it was a photo from a long time ago, at that time she also had short hair, and the girl next to her had waist-length hair, Su Xiao had almost forgotten the girl's face.
If the last word of the girl's name was Ann, if Ann hadn't made it clear that she liked her, she might not have blackened Ann's face in the photo with a black pen.
If it weren't for Ann's departure, maybe she wouldn't have liked Midsummer, right? Liking Midsummer and liking Ann are both voluntary, and her likes are sad.
"Midsummer, liking you is the most humble and sneaky thing I've ever done. So now I'm going to tell you that I like you and I actually want to let go of you for a long time, but my heart still hurts, and this thing is the bravest and most relieved thing for me. ”
Su Xiao gently put on the wig she just bought yesterday and put on scarlet lipstick, and she put on a studded leather coat that she hadn't worn for more than two years, which was just right. She ended up spraying herself with that very strong perfume, all of which was familiar and unfamiliar.
She looked in the mirror and was pleased with her makeup, which was what she looked like when she first met Midsummer, time stood still.
Su Xiao carried her suitcase and went back to school.
Almost at the moment when Su Xiao left with his luggage, Midsummer woke up. "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, where are you?" Midsummer called Su Xiao's name but didn't respond, she walked into the living room of Su Xiao's house, and there was still warm milk porridge on the table, but there was no Su Xiao.
The clothes in Su Xiao's room are all gone, and even Su Xiao's suitcase is gone, Su Xiao won't leave, right? Midsummer suddenly became scared.
"Xiaoxiao, did I do something wrong? Why do you have to be so nice to me every time, but when I want to be nice to you in turn, it's gone? Midsummer saw the bowl of warm milk porridge, and inexplicably remembered what A said in the recording.
A said, "You are an unlucky and lucky girl, you don't have many friends and your childhood is not good enough, but God is equal. Fortunately, you have your favorite Nanfeng, as well as the reliable Su Xiao, and even Gu Jing, who was once infatuated with you. There are too many people around you, so I want you to look behind you, okay? Su Xiao behind you, maybe you feel that love and friendship must be trade-off, but why should Su Xiao be snubbed by you? ”
I'm sorry Xiaoxiao, I'm really sorry, I haven't thought too much about your feelings all the time, but I really regard you as a very important person.
She couldn't help but want to go to find Midsummer, she was afraid that she would lose Su Xiao, she was really afraid that someone around her would leave, not to mention that person was Su Xiao. The most credible Su Xiao in the world, the most reliable Su Xiao in the world!
"By the way, there is also a phone!" Midsummer suddenly remembered the phone as a communication tool, but when she called it with anticipation, it showed that the line was busy. made several phone calls in a row, all of which were like this, and Midsummer was a little discouraged and sent a text message to save it.
SMS: Xiaoxiao, where have you been? Are you leaving me, please don't make a fuss, okay? I'm worried about you, I'm scared you know? I'm afraid you're going to leave me forever.
Su Xiao on the other side didn't realize Midsummer's anxiety, she was talking to Nanfeng on the phone. When he first called, Nanfeng was still surprised that Su Xiao called him.
"Su Xiao, what's the matter?"
"I'm going to confess to Midsummer, you should have noticed it a long time ago, right? I'm serious. ”
"Yes, I already knew. I thought you were in love with A, and you didn't do anything about Midsummer, I thought you had given up a long time ago. ”
"yes, I used to think I was going to give up, but I still haven't, just like I thought A wouldn't like me anymore."
"You're trying to steal the summer with me? Alas, I can only tell you that you are wishful thinking, and it is impossible for her to like you in the middle of summer. ”
"I know, of course I know she won't like me, if I didn't know, how would I give you the guitar in the middle of summer."
"Guitar? That's not ahe ......"
"Haha, you hope it's him, it's me who stole Midsummer's guitar, and it's reasonable to give you back the guitar."
"Thank you, although you are my rival in a sense, thank you very much for taking care of Midsummer and helping me."
"Don't be amorous, I just know that she likes you and you like her, and I don't want to see a girl I've liked for so long feel sorry for a boy who loves her too."
"Hmm."
"She has stomach pain in the middle of summer, only I know this, she is not picky eaters and eats very miscellaneous things, and she eats irregularly in the morning, noon and evening......"
"Well, I see, I didn't expect you to know Midsummer better than I do. You're a good girl, and a didn't like you wrong. ”
"Okay, I'm hanging, I'm going to confess."
I hung up the phone and turned on my phone, just in time to see the text message of Midsummer.
The corners of Su Xiao's mouth unconsciously raised a beautiful arc, Midsummer would care about her, she was actually very important to Midsummer?
Su Xiao also saw a bunch of missed calls, all of which were from Midsummer. Just when I wanted to call Midsummer, Midsummer's call came.
Su Xiao answered the phone, and Sheng Xia said a bunch of things in one breath: "Su Xiao, where have you been?" Did you know I'm worried about you? I'm afraid of what stupid things you're doing, I'm afraid you're leaving like a, I can't lose you. ”
"I ......" Su Xiao didn't know how to answer for a while, did she do something wrong this time?
"Where are you?" Midsummer asked, looking around the school, and just as he was about to be deflated, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. Midsummer was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Haha, you are waiting for me in the same place, I saw you." ”
Su Xiao took the mobile phone, turned his head to look around, and they looked at each other in the left corner. Su Xiao couldn't help but stammer, "Sheng Sheng...... Xia, I'm just ......" Su Xiao wanted to say something, but was gagged by a hug given by Sheng Xia.
Su Xiao was very greedy for this warm embrace, but she finally let go of Midsummer's embrace, and Su Xiao smiled at Midsummer's face.
Su Xiao said with a hippie smile, pinching Midsummer's face that no longer had a bit of flesh and said, "It's still good to smile." Midsummer let Su Xiao pinch it, and Midsummer was a little puzzled when she saw Su Xiao's outfit.
Su Xiao sensed Midsummer's doubts and replied, "What are you talking about?" Don't you feel familiar with the middle of summer? The first time we met, that's how I dressed. ”
Midsummer was even more puzzled, and she said with suspicion on her face, "Is Xiaoxiao a special day today?" Why don't I know? ”
Suddenly, Su Xiao took a step back, and out of nowhere he brought a very small pot of starry stars, Su Xiao held the starry sky and said to Midsummer: "Do you know Midsummer? You're really important to me, but I really might have to let you go, even if my heart hurts. ”
Sheng Xia was confused when she heard it, Sheng Xia wanted to understand the feelings or fluctuations in Su Xiao's eyes, but the stars in the sky completely blocked Su Xiao's face.
Maybe Su Xiao didn't want Sheng Xia to see her expression, afraid that she would be sad and unwilling, Su Xiao wanted to convey her heart to Sheng Xia completely.
"The starry flower language is a supporting role, and I don't know why I like this flower, probably because I'm a supporting role in your life, right?" When Su Xiao spoke, he was calmer than he imagined.
Somehow in the middle of summer, a sense of guilt arose, and he lowered his head unconsciously, suddenly unable to face the friendship between himself and Su Xiao.
Su Xiao continued, "I am humble, my humility has been since I met you, I always give wishful thinking and move myself, but I know that it is impossible for us at all. ”
The last sentence exhausted all his courage and heartbreaking, Su Xiao said loudly towards Midsummer: "If I don't say it, maybe you don't know why I'm so good to you, because I like you......"
Sheng Xia was stunned, and when she calmed down, Su Xiao handed her the starry sky. Midsummer was silent for a long time holding the starry sky, Su Xiao looked at Midsummer for a long time, maybe she couldn't stand Midsummer's silence, the light in Su Xiao's eyes dimmed, she waved her hand and said, "I know your answer, it's okay." ”
Su Xiao stretched out his hand to Sheng Xia, and Sheng Xia held Su Xiao's hand without the slightest hesitation, and in this way, Sheng Xia and Su Xiao held hands and lived in the dormitory again.
