Chapter 006: Love at First Sight, Goodbye Joy
I am traveling back to the past, not recreating life, so although the time point of the story in the past and the present is roughly the same, the way of thinking between me and me in the past is already different, and the direction of the story is not exactly the same.
Ten years ago, in the third group game, a week after the first meeting between Xu Zhekai and me, Xu Zhekai was sent to Shenzhen by the department to participate in the National Collegiate Speech Contest.
He is the face of the philosophy department, although he is a sophomore, he is also a little famous in the whole school, with a good image, good temperament, first-class eloquence, and it is very suitable to participate in the speech competition, not to mention that the national competition must be more valuable than the school-level debate competition, of course he will go.
After he left, the Philosophy Department sent a junior to replace him, and the substitute was logically rigorous but the language was boring, and the Philosophy Department did not make it to the semifinals. Our Faculty of Education also lost to the Faculty of Law in the semi-finals and missed the finals.
Lose in hake, but gain in herring. The words of the ancients are indeed reliable. On the night of my defeat to the Faculty of Law, I received a strange call from a stranger while I was in my dorm room, "a chicken in my left hand and a duck in my right hand".
When Xu Zhekai reported his name, I was very surprised and hurriedly asked him how he knew my mobile phone number, and he said:
"The debate competition registration form has the basic information you fill in, even if you don't fill in the information, just grab a person from your department and ask, who in your department doesn't know you?"
"What do you mean by that, am I notorious?"
"That's impossible, it can only be said to be a hundred years old." He laughed as he spoke on the other end of the line.
"It's a pity, I lost in the semi-finals today, and I don't have a chance to be famous." Although this was the first time Xu Zhekai and I had a phone call, it was not an awkward conversation at all, and I naturally talked about our team's defeat.
"I've heard about it, so it shouldn't be presumptuous to invite you out for a walk now, right?"
"It's okay to relax, but the cost of flying from Beijing to Shenzhen is too high, so I'd better scatter here first!" I said with a smile.
"You actually know that I went to Shenzhen?" His tone was also full of surprise.
"It's not just me who is notorious, you are the same, if you don't leave, how can your department lose." I quipped.
"False praise! False praise! Ha ha! I had just arrived at the dormitory to put my luggage and would see you at the east gate in thirty minutes. His voice was full of joy.
"Huh? What did you say?! "I was completely stunned.
"I said that the east gate of the school will be connected in half an hour, and I will explain to you then."
"Good!"
After hanging up the phone, I screamed out, threw the phone on the bed, and shouted at Xiaoru and the others: "Sisters! Philosophy Department Little Poplar asked me out! Wowha! ”
"What are you talking about?!" They were clearly frightened too.
"Xu Zhekai, the male god, and the little poplar are back from Shenzhen! And ask me out! Right now! I repeated word by word.
"Ahhh
"Oh my God! Oh my god! ”
"It's not scientific!"
In the process of the madman's excitement crying wolf, I had already packed up and was ready to go out, and the moment I stepped out of the bedroom door, I said, "Little poplar, don't worry, people are coming!" ”
"Get out!" The madmen shouted in unison.
On the way from the dormitory to the east gate, I was surprised, excited, and even had some faint anticipation. But I didn't dress up, it was too obvious and not reserved enough.
Although after I saw him for the first time, I unilaterally announced to Xiaoru and the others, "From now on, Xu Zhekai will be my male god, and this little poplar will take root in my heart!" "But I haven't done anything concrete.
I can be flamboyant and active in other things, but emotionally I am still more traditional and passive, I don't understand the other party's mind, I will never take the initiative to confess, understand the other party's mind, I also want him to confess to me first, I have my strange pride.
Fortunately, since I was a child, I haven't done anything like this to a boy, so I have fundamentally avoided this kind of hypocrisy that seems to outsiders to refuse and welcome.
Since junior high school, there have been more and more classmates of "early love", although parents and teachers have repeatedly emphasized the harm of early love, but who can refuse the sweet temptation of young boys and girls. Strangely, I never had the idea of falling in love in junior high school and high school, as if I was born with this tendon.
I get along well with boys and girls, the natural tomboy personality makes me and boys call each other brothers, mingle, other people's parents often worry about their children's early love, but my parents are always worried that I am too boyish to marry, it is really the same world, different a dream.
After I got to college, maybe I got older, and I began to dress a lot more femininely, but my personality was still in full swing, although as when I was in school, there were many senior brothers who were confused by my okay appearance for a while, but in the end I was persuaded to quit by my fiery personality, so the thing of suitors becoming brothers is basically the norm for me, and there is no one who makes me tempted, and it is easy to be a buddy.
Of course, Xu Zhekai was an accident.
Before I met him, I had never seen such a handsome, gentlemanly, calm, and outstanding boy, and in front of him, I suddenly had the panic and shyness of a little girl, and I never had a trace of self-doubt: whether I was worthy of such a boy.
And when he said his name on the other end of the phone, I even had the joy of winning the lottery, even though the biggest prize I have ever won in my life was 20 yuan. Xu Zhekai is much more valuable than twenty.
That night I wore a ponytail, a pair of washed blue high-waisted jeans, and a thick, puffy, loose goose yellow bunny sweater,。。 The whole person looks warm.
Xu Zhekai had already arrived early, with a khaki hooded midi trench coat, black low-top Chelsea boots, dark jeans, and a white shirt hem tucked into the waistband of his pants. It's more lively than when you wear a suit, but it's still upright.
The moment we met, I suddenly had a sense of unreality, we had met once in total, or on the field, aside from the debate competition, there was basically not much communication, and even he withdrew from the competition and went to Shenzhen to give a speech or listen to Yu Han's gossip to me. But at this moment, I was standing alone with him, flustered in my heart, and my face pretended to be calm.
"Hello, friend of the other party, we meet again." He spoke first, and after speaking, the corners of his mouth habitually rose, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Hello, the other side who ran away!" I laughed and teased him.
The smile on his face deepened. Oh my God, how can there be a boy who smiles so good.
We walked casually along the road and talked as we could. He told me that the speech contest ended this morning, and he won two awards, the gold medal and the most popular award, and the other people sent by the school also achieved good results, so the team leader temporarily decided that all the team members would have one more day in Shenzhen tomorrow to celebrate. And he wanted to come back today to see my semi-finals, but he took a leave of absence to take the earliest flight back and didn't catch the game, but he heard from his roommate that our team lost, guessing that I might not be in a good mood, so he suddenly wanted to meet me.
He also said that he didn't know why, but he had a good impression of me when they first met, not only because I was beautiful, but also because of a certain indescribable feeling in me, a girl like a sunflower, sunny, vibrant, refreshing and clear.
I told him that no girl would be happy to be told that she was a sunflower because the sunflower had a big face!
Just walked all the way, talked all the way, kept laughing all the way, the second time we met seemed to be an old acquaintance, but the first confession seemed to be gossip. I love the feeling.
I also like to listen to him, he has a good voice and a moderate pace of speech, which makes people have the patience to listen. I've always been very picky about boys' voices, sissy is naturally not good, Mandarin is not standard is a minus, and the broadcast voice is not very good, Xu Zhekai is the most perfect.
I didn't tell him, and I had already designated him as a male god after the first encounter, and called him "Little Poplar" privately in the dormitory, and I was afraid that he would be scared.
I didn't tell him the surprise and joy of receiving her call, let alone the excited roar of the "614 Four Sages", I was afraid that he would regret it and find out that the sunflower was actually a lion's head, well, it was all round face and a circle of hair, and the personality was too far away.
Because it was already half past eight in the evening, we didn't go too far, just walked around the school from the road outside the east gate, bought a second half-price two cones when we passed by McDonald's on the way, walked around and returned to the campus and continued to sneak to the bench in the Jiu Garden to sit and continue to talk about each other's roommates and interesting things in the department.
From my mouth, he knew about the "614 Four Sages", and also had a first impression of the "inhuman" behavior of the other three sages, and from his mouth I knew that his parents were lawyers, and he chose philosophy because he didn't want to study law anymore. He said that his parents had a very good relationship, and that his mother looked like a strong woman of law outside, but at home she was a tsundere princess, and often spoiled the father and son to avoid housework. A woman who is nearly fifty years old and can still be coquettish should live in love.
The street lamps are dim, in the breeze, the ginkgo tree next to the bench occasionally shakes a few fan-shaped fallen leaves, we talk so unhurriedly about our roommates, their parents, their own school experience from childhood to adulthood, during the end of self-study students go back to bed together pass us by in twos and threes, and occasionally some couples sit down on the bench in the corner of the small garden to snuggle and chat.
Unlike the busy traffic outside of school, a college campus at night is like a paradise. In the autumn night, the pleasant scenery, the heartbeat people, the so-called quiet years are probably like this.
In this way, my first love began on that brilliant autumn night in 2007, as unhurried as the evening breeze in early autumn, and as beautiful as the ginkgo biloba leaves flying under the street lamp that night.
It's a blessing in life that the season of love and the person you love the most appear at the same time.
