Chapter 008: I like you, I'm sorry
When I returned to the dormitory, I talked to the others about the concert, but I didn't expect everyone to be very interested. Also, the school's New Year's Eve party is similar to a blind date ball, which is not too interesting, so it is better to go out and have fun by yourself.
Xiaoru must have taken Jiang An with her, Liu Jia and I are both alone, so we naturally become a "couple", and Yu Han, this guy who forgets his friends, asked Li Ran if he went with him as soon as possible, Li Ran knew, Xu Zhekai naturally knew. The ticket money and the task of buying tickets were handed over to Yu Han, and the next day the seven concert tickets were in hand, Yu Han herself is definitely not so powerful, but she has an aunt who can get tickets for the concert. Li Ran helped everyone buy tickets to Linshi on the morning of December 31. At this point, the seven-member New Year's Eve team was officially established.
For Xu Zhekai's peers, I refused at first, I always felt very embarrassed, our relationship had an incomparably beautiful beginning and process, but the ending was so hasty and bloody. But he is a real person in my past life, I can't really treat him as a first acquaintance, even if my time and space have changed dramatically, I can't say let go of the old love, say forget it. Moreover, no matter what happened in the past, Xu Zhekai in this time and space is innocent, how can he understand the entanglement of our "past life", how can he know that the reason why I avoided him is so absurd, how can he understand that I rejected him because we were together, this is incredible. And I have to admit that I don't resist New Year's Eve with him, I just can't convince myself to accept all the past, or rather, I don't admit that I have been persuaded.
What should come always comes, and on December 31, 2007, a light snow fell. This was already a special day, and because of the snowfall, it added a romantic atmosphere.
Early in the morning, we were picked up from the quilt by Xiao Ru, and after grooming and dressing, sure enough, people in love have extraordinary abilities, Xiao Ru, who usually gets up a little in class, has never been ambiguous when she sees her sweetheart, and can always reflect the positivity of different people, it seems that love can also cure laziness.
At seven o'clock, 614 Sixian saw three other men downstairs in the bedroom. As soon as I saw Jiang An, Xiao Ru pounced on the whole person, and the petite Xiao Ru hugged Jiang An's neck in a posture that was particularly like a gibbon hanging on a tree branch, we once joked in the bedroom: Xiao Ru is Jiang An's humanoid pendant. Jiang An still looked at Xiaoru with a doting face.
Looking at the two of them, I was in a trance, as if two time and space overlapped in front of my eyes, the delicate Xiaoru in college, the glamorous and moving Xiaoru at the wedding, the thin and fair-skinned Jiang An in college, and the mature and stable Jiang An at the wedding. For a moment, I suddenly wanted to cry, I really wanted to tell them in front of me that you will still be so good in the future, you will still be so sweet together, and even go to the white head, from the campus to the church This fairy tale has been truly interpreted by you, which is really good.
In order not to let others see my abnormality, I adjusted my mood and turned my gaze to Yu Han and Li Ran.
These two are interesting, Yu Han is the kind of girl with a great contrast in appearance and personality, with long hair and fluttering, and a free and easy personality, Li Ran is a straight man of steel, I have never seen a lover greet with a high-five, so they are more like buddies traveling together.
Xu Zhekai stood behind Li Ran, who was wearing a white short down jacket, jeans, Martin boots, and a light gray scarf today. The hair looked like it had just been blown and fluffy. He smiled his trademark smile when he saw me, "Hey! What a coincidence! He greeted me.
"What a fart!" I muttered in a low voice, dragged Liu Jia, who was going to leave me alone with Xu Zhekai, and warned her in a low voice: "Let's lock up today, don't want to push me to others." Liu Jia smiled at Xu Zhekai and said, "Handsome guy, I'm sorry!" ”
Several other people laughed understandingly, Li Ran patted Xu Zhekai on the shoulder, and said, "There is a long way to go, act when you have the opportunity!" The smile on Xu Zhekai's face deepened.
At 8:25, we finally got on the express train to Linshi, which took two hours. Yu Han, Li Ran, Xiaoru, and Jiang An sat opposite each other, Liu Jia and I sat next to each other, and opposite Xu Zhekai and the vacant seat next to him. Along the way, Liu Jia and I chatted all kinds of small talk, from popular stars to teachers in the department, perhaps to avoid embarrassment, Xu Zhekai kept his eyes closed, but occasionally I couldn't help but laugh and made me sure that he had been listening to the conversation between me and Liu Jia.
In that time and space, Xu Zhekai and I have taken the car to other cities like this many times, but we are all intimately snuggled together, talking and laughing all the way, and we have never been cold, and now we can only sit opposite each other, no communication, pretending not to be familiar I can do it, but completely forget the past, I can't do it. At this time, I was wronged for Xu Zhekai again, he didn't know anything, but he was treated so deliberately and indifferently by me, I'm really sorry.
After getting off the bus, Xu Zhekai invited a treat, and everyone had a famous local pancake fruit. The concert was in the evening and we only had one afternoon to hang out. Time is limited, everyone's destinations are different, so they can only act separately, Xiaoru wants to go to Italian Style Street, Jiang An naturally goes together, Liu Jia and Yu Han have high school friends in Nankai, they plan to go together, Li Ran naturally also goes with Yu Han. I've been to all the places they're going, and the one I want to go to the most is Five Avenues. Xu Zhekai was pushed to my side by Xiaoru, and he was called "the messenger of flowers". We agreed to gather at the entrance of the Olympic Sports Center at 5 p.m. and went our separate ways.
I took a taxi and took the lead in the co-pilot, and Xu Zhekai could only sit in the back seat. Twenty minutes later, we got off the bus near Minyuan Stadium.
In fact, I have been here many times, and the first time I came with Xu Zhekai, of course, these are all things from another time and space.
At this time, Xu Zhekai and I walked in the long corridor of Minyuan Stadium one after the other, and no one said a word. In winter, at the end of the year, there were hardly any people here, and strangely enough, not long after arriving, the snowflakes were falling from the sky, as if we had brought them from another city.
I've been here many times, and I still like it, and I always feel that this corridor is circular because it's a circle, so as long as you keep walking, it doesn't matter if you start or end It would be nice if all the good things could go on like this.
I don't know when, Xu Zhekai has already walked from behind me to me, walking side by side as we did in another time and space in the past. I suddenly wanted to ask him, "Do you remember me?" "I suddenly felt so stupid, since I crossed over, since I saw Xu Zhekai again, I deliberately imposed my resentment towards him in another time and space on the person in front of me, for so long, I took care of myself and played the image of a resentful woman, but he didn't know why, he was snubbed by me for no reason, and even ignored, how cruel I was to him.
"Is it cold?" Conscience found out, and I asked him.
"It's not cold." He seemed to have been waiting for me to say something, and he answered very quickly and without thinking.
"Have you ever been to Tianjin?" He asked me back.
"Been here, many times. What about you? I asked rhetorically.
"I've been here, this is the third time, the first time is to see my classmates, and the second time is to compete." He still had a nice smile on his lips when he spoke. I used to kiss him on the lips when he was talking with a smile, but now, I can only kiss him in my memories.
"Do you like the city?" He then asked again.
"I like, a lot of old things aren't being replaced so quickly here, as if they can save some moments for people." My tone was soft, not like I was answering him, but like talking to myself.
"Shen Yiyi, I have something to ask you." He suddenly froze.
My heart skipped a beat, and I stopped and turned to look at him.
Snowflakes fell on his hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes, shiny, so beautiful. I resisted the urge to brush away the snow for him, and waited quietly for him to ask.
"Shen Yiyi, since the end of the debate competition, I feel that you are like a different person, you are so dazzling and radiant during the competition, and you are also enthusiastic about me, but I always feel that you are lukewarm to me than after the competition, have I offended you somewhat? Do you hate me? ”
"No, you're fine, and you didn't offend me. It's my own problem. ”
"Okay, Shen Yiyi, listen, I want to say it again, the last game, my later speech was not just for the game, I did fall in love with you at first sight, and I also very much want to continue the love at first sight for you into a lifelong love, what I said on the field is true, now, can you tell me, what you said after the game is impossible to give me a chance is it true or a joke?"
The smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared, and his expression was serious and serious, such an expression, the last time I saw it, it should have been in that time and space, when he and I broke up.
"It's true, I said it." Holding back my sadness, I gave him the answer, and after saying that, I turned around and tried to continue walking, but he reached out and dragged me back.
"Don't go, Shen Yiyi, don't leave until you finish speaking. Why is it impossible? Give me a credible reason. His eyes seemed to be a little red, and his gaze was stubborn and determined.
"I don't like you, is that okay?" I clenched my fists, trying to make my duplicity seem less deliberate.
"Yes, I see. I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now. He let go of his grip on me and chuckled, as if to say to himself, "yes, why do you have to like me?" Where do I get my confidence? ”
I turned around and continued to walk forward, no longer looking at him, but said to myself and to him in my heart: "Xu Zhekai, I like you from the past to the present, I have always liked you, but I don't have the courage to start again, I don't know when I will disappear in this time and space, and I don't know what the ending will be if we start again, instead of hurting again, it's better not to start, it's good for me and for you." I like you a lot, but, I'm really sorry. ”
