Chapter 23: Mid-Autumn Festival Friendship (1)
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky is full of white clouds. Those who are close to the moon burst with silver light, and those who are a little farther away from the moon are as soft as cotton. The stars of early autumn dot the night sky in a blur, and the shadows of the inky trees whisper in the breeze. What will they say? Do you miss your family as much as I do at this moment?
I am a sentimental person, looking at this scene, my mind drifted to the scene of a month ago, and I wondered why I didn't cherish those good times that were plain but real and delicate at that time. Good times? I quickly dismissed these three words in my mind, it was ridiculous, how could I now think that those times that made me so depressed and broken that I doubted myself were good times?
Xingfan and I did have a good time, before I opened my mouth to ask about those things; Before those things were planted in my heart; Before I thought he must have tolerated everything for me because he loved me...... It's just that these good times are like being spelled and frozen one by one after I asked his mother one day. I'm like an outsider in this home, an outsider who can't fit in no matter how hard I try. Those good old days were gone, and I was the only one who really cared. All he cared about was the clothing design company that existed for her mother in the future. I felt like a man who had been pushed off a cliff, lonely and desperate, with behind me no longer his solid arms, but an abyss that could not be seen, in which he could never see my hopeless eyes.
Thinking about it, tears flowed from the corners of my eyes, completely forgetting that I was sitting on the campus track and field in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the boy opposite me was looking at me blankly.
"Are you alright? ”
I glanced at the boy and sniffed, wiped my tears with my sleeve and said, "It's okay." Then I turned my head and smiled at him, inexplicably feeling that he was a little familiar.
"Hello, my name is Liu Hao." The boy introduced himself.
Liu Hao? Maybe you don't remember it anymore, but how can you forget this name if it's so easy to remember.
He was a boy I met at the Mid-Autumn Festival 13 years ago, and he was really nice, just like his name, and he used to help me a lot. But if you want to say what you helped specifically, I can't remember, the only thing I remember is that once I had a high fever, he sent me to the hospital, accompanied me to hang a drip, and sent me porridge for a week. He has a girlfriend of Yu Shida, at that time I thought that her girlfriend must be very happy, after all, it is so caring, and now that I think about it, I think that his girlfriend must be very troubled, after all, he is so fraternal. Indeed, later on, he called me to say that his girlfriend was going to break up with him, and he never understood why.
I burst out laughing, "Are you reliable?" Come over and socialize, does your girlfriend know? ”
He was stunned: "I know...... You know, wasn't this caught by the squad leader to make up the numbers? He was a little embarrassed, and although he didn't ask, he must have wondered how I found out that he had a girlfriend.
This is true, who hasn't been arrested to make up the numbers, the scene was a little embarrassing for a while. "By the way, aren't you automated? Do you know Shen Xingfan? "I was the first to open up the conversation.
"I know, I'm in the first class, and he's in the second class. The chubby one of today's friends is from their second class. I followed the direction of his finger and saw a cute boy.
Is that Xingfan's chubby in their bedroom? I never paid attention to him in English class, and sure enough, although he was a little fat, he was always the one who had no sense of existence. And the reason why I am so impressed with him is only because of an incident in the past, those memories that have been sealed for a long time have been opened again.
In the summer of my second year with Xingfan, I took on a part-time job as a tutor – every Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. It was about half an hour away from the school bus, and every time I went downstairs after tutoring, Xingfan would wait for me downstairs. Only once, he had a high fever, and I told him to rest in his bedroom and told him that I would take a taxi back by myself.
I just didn't think that when I set off from school, the sky was surprisingly calm, but when I came back, there was a typhoon.
I finally managed to get a taxi, but I didn't want to be on the way, a tree that had just been planted not long ago was uprooted by a typhoon and weighed right on our car. All I remember was that the car was hit hard and couldn't move. My mind went blank in the car, and I didn't dare to get out of the car, and I was even more afraid that another tree would hit me. The windows of the car had been shattered, and the rain mixed with the leaves of the trees was blown into the car by the wind, and I couldn't even open my eyes for a moment, so I wiped my eyes, but I saw blood. I felt my whole body shivering, and I didn't know if I was scared or cold.
Just when I was at a loss, I saw someone open the car door, and in just a few seconds, from opening the door to pulling me out, I felt as if a century had passed, and that person was Xingfan!
I hugged him and cried, "I thought I was going to die, I will never see you again." ”
He wiped the blood from my forehead, only kissed my eyes lightly, and said to me a little weakly, "Fool, it's okay, it's okay." ”
Fool, at that moment I felt that this was simply the most beautiful word in the world, warm and romantic.
After he said these words, he fainted in my arms, but luckily Chubby came with him to find me. That's when we both got to the hospital. I only had a slight bruise on my head, but Xingfan got acute pneumonia because of it and lay in the hospital for a whole week.
Later, I heard Xiaopang say that Xingfan found out that a typhoon was coming, and he called me around seven o'clock, but my phone was silent and I couldn't hear it. He was going out to pick me up, Xiaopang was worried that he still had a high fever, so he went out with him, and finally got a taxi, but saw a car being crushed under a tree halfway, he approached uneasily, but finally what he was worried about happened.
Memories are always beautiful, even if we feel tormented at the moment, we will feel that the world always likes to target us, and even embarrass and make ourselves sad.
"The most exciting moment of tonight is coming, now please give the balloon with your name written on it to the boy you want, and the boy who does not receive the balloon will be punished." Xu Yan, as the host, was talking in the middle of the venue.
Obviously, Chubby is the one who has been left out, he has been alone in the corner, when it was my turn, I looked at Liu Hao, he had received 2 balloons, presumably not worse than me.
So, I walked straight to Chubby, smiled at him, and held the balloon in front of him. The moment he received my balloon, he stayed there and looked straight at me, and he couldn't think of a reason for me to give him a balloon.
"Oh, you can take it as my encouragement to you as an English teaching assistant." I came back to my seat with a random reason.
"Okay, now all the girls have finished sending balloons." Xu Yan is about to announce the next event.
At this time, a boy suddenly said, "Host, don't you still have the balloon in your hand?" ”
So the boys began to make noise, Xu Yan was stunned in a shyness, everyone looked in the direction that Xu Yan stared at, and in the dark, a boy about 185 cm tall was slowly walking towards us, and he was holding a familiar balloon in his hand.
Even if it was just in the faint moonlight, even if he couldn't see his face clearly, the kind of aura that his whole person exuded could make everyone's eyes lock on him, and he stepped on the moonlight, smiling slightly, as if there was a kind of magic.
When he passed by Xu Yan's side, Xu Yan introduced to everyone with a smile: "This is our classmate Shen Xingfan, our finale tonight, everyone is welcome!" In this way, under the gaze of the audience, she shyly handed the balloon with her name written on it to Xingfan.
"Oh!" Those present began to heckle.
Xing Fan glanced at Xu Yan and showed her a polite but rejecting smile thousands of miles away. Then he walked up to me and sat down with a light frame and asked, "Who is she?" ”
She ...... She's tonight's host and my roommate, oh, by the way, it's still our Banbanhua, you've seen it before......" The plot is developing too fast, and I have a little indigestion so I introduced Xu Yan to him randomly.
Why is he here? What is he doing here? Did he come for me? How did he know I was here? Didn't he ignore me anymore? A series of questions quickly flashed through my mind.
I have a lot of things I want to ask, but I don't know which tendon I made the wrong connection, I didn't say anything that should be said, but I only said: "Isn't it not good for you to treat Xu Yan like this, after all, she is the host tonight, and there are so many people watching here, how embarrassed she is if you don't pick up her balloon, besides, she is also-" Before I finished speaking, I saw him look at me, his eyes seemed to be full of dissatisfaction, and he got up again to take the balloon that Xu Yan held awkwardly in the air.
"It's no wonder that Xu Da Beauty has been reluctant to hold the balloon in her hand, it turns out that the candidate has already been decided." Everyone began to applaud. Xu Yan's face looked even more shy under the moonlight, and he forgot that he was still the host for a moment.
"Shen Xingfan got the balloon of Xu Da Beauty, so he has to show it."
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Who is that, Lin Mu, aren't you Shen Xingfan's English assistant teacher in their class, hurry up and help us Xu Yan say a few words." I don't know which bastard is going to take me out and be publicly executed at this juncture.
"Hehehe, yes, Shen Xingfan, you should really express it." I smiled wryly and said perfunctorily, a little embarrassed.
Yes, yes, yes! Representation? What does it mean? No matter how much he hates it, he is also the person who has been with me for more than ten years, is it possible that I have to match him and Xu Yan now.
Shen Xingfan's mood: As soon as I heard that she was in the sorority, I rushed over to see her in a hurry, and it seems that I am the one who is not the same as the outside. But what did she mean to make me express it to other women? I now have enough reason to suspect that she's manipulating me.
