Chapter 40: Watermelon

The next day, we visited the botanical garden according to Jia Tianer's itinerary, and then set off for the train station. When I arrived at the train station, there was still half an hour before the boarding time, Jia Tianer refused to let me enter the waiting hall, and insisted that I sing a song to her like the first time I sent her to the station. I couldn't help being pestered by her, so I had to sing a song of Su Youpeng's "Cherish":

"Moored at the pier that left yesterday, many dreams are layered and mottled,

People are lonely after sunset and dusk, and it is sometimes difficult to resist the late autumn wind when they are young and crazy.

After you are happy, there are fewer worries and more troubles, and after my deep affection and strong fate,

Who said that youth can't be wrong, I would rather tear and not bow my head, and cherish the hand I once had.

Cherish the dream of youth, cherish the time together, who can be young and not crazy to wander alone,

Even if the moon is cloudy and lacking, even if people have sorrows and joys, who can not raise the sail of dreams.

Cherish the tears shed for me, cherish the years for you, who can be indifferent and heartless this precious.

There are still clouds to fly tomorrow, keep the sky to chase with me, and no regrets is also a kind of beauty in life. ”

As soon as I finished singing, everyone applauded, and Tao Xiaomei sighed: "It's so romantic, no wonder Jia Tian'er is dead set on you, it turns out that you have such a nirvana." I said, "I'm nothing, sweet singing is good." Tao Xiaomei said: "Indeed, at the freshman party, she poured countless boys with a song, and since then she has become the public lover of our grade." Peng Bo said: "Then it's better to sing one too, so that we can also feast our ears." Others chimed in.

Jia Tianer said: "It's too noisy here, and it won't work if you sing it, so I'll go to KTV and sing it to you in the future." Zhang Jun said: "I made a note, you owe us a KTV." Jia Tian'er said, "No problem, but you have to do me a favor." Peng Bo said: "What is busy, as long as we can do it, we will do our best." ”

Jia Tian'er glanced at me and said, "There are too many beauties in your school, you can help me watch this guy, and tell me as soon as there is any trouble." When everyone heard this, they all said, "No problem, we must keep an eye on him." I laughed and said, "Don't talk about me, so many boys in your school are chasing you, you are much more dangerous than me." Tao Xiaomei said: "Don't worry about this, we can't look down on any of Tian'er, we thought she didn't like men, but this semester I learned that she already had a sweetheart." Jia Tian'er said, "Okay, it's not early, it's time for you to get in the car." Everyone looked at the time, there were still twenty minutes left to leave, so they reluctantly said goodbye to Jia Tianer and Tao Xiaomei and entered the station.

It has been more than four months since Lin Qian left, and I originally said that she would contact me when she settled down in the United States, but I never waited for Lin Qian's news, which made me always have something hanging in my heart, which was very uncomfortable. For a while, I even had an allergic reaction to the ringing of the phone in my dorm room, and as soon as the phone rang, my heart would lift.

Without Lin Qian's college life, there is a lot less color, although I will also miss Jia Tianer who is far away in Nanning, but after all, we can't see each other every day, and this kind of long-distance relationship is really uncomfortable.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and many people in the school will go to the Knorr Farmers' Market in the west of the school to buy watermelons, because the watermelons there are very cheap, only a dime a catty, and the quality is also good. In our dorm, we usually roll dice to decide who runs errands, and on this day I had the smallest number of points rolled, so I had to brave the scorching heat for a run.

I rode a bicycle before I arrived at the school gate, I saw a girl in front of me, the back was very familiar, and when I looked closer, it turned out to be Wen Fang from our class. Although this little girl is not too conspicuous, but through the barbecue and volleyball games, I left a deep impression on her, she seems to be so calm and calm at all times. Just like this afternoon, the weather is very hot, everyone is afraid of the heat and does not want to go out, even if they walk outside, they are in a hurry, hurry back to escape the heat, only she walks on the road very leisurely.

I shouted, "Wen Fang, where are you going on such a hot day?" Wen Fang looked back at me and said, "I went to the Knorr Market to buy watermelons." I wondered: "Why don't you ride a bike, it's such a long way, the watermelon is so heavy, how can you bring it back?" Wen Fang said: "I'll just buy one, just hold it and walk back slowly, it's only two miles away, not far." I said, "It's so hot, how nice it would be to ride." Wen Fang said, "I don't know how to ride." "I suddenly felt strange that it was the first time in my age that I saw someone who couldn't ride a bike.

I was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Why don't I take you with me, so you can run a little less." Wen Fang was also stunned, and then said, "Okay." "She walked around to my left and sat gently in the back seat, and she moved so lightly that I wondered if she had gotten in. I asked, "Are you seated?" Wen Fang said, "Sit down." I said, "Then sit tight." Then he stomped and rode forward.

Although it only took five minutes to ride from school to Knorr Market, because I didn't talk much, and Wen Fang was a stuffy gourd, we hardly had anything to say along the way, so time felt very slow.

When we arrived at the market, we came to a watermelon stall, and I asked Wenfang, "Do you pick watermelons?" Wen Fang shook her head and said, "No." I said, "No, how can you buy it?" Wen Fang said: "Let the boss help pick one." I said, "What if the boss fools you?" Wen Fang said, "Probably not." I said, "I'll teach you how to choose." So he picked up a watermelon and pointed to the white piece on it and said: "This is the belly of a watermelon, generally the yellow stomach is ripe, the more yellow it is, the more ripe, the whitish belly is not ripe, like this is not very ripe." Then he flicked it twice on the watermelon and said, "Generally, the sound is crisp and the sound is ripe, and the sound is muffled is not ripe; And look at the tail of the watermelon, the tail is ripe, and the tail is very green. ”

Wen Fang nodded while listening, and when I finished speaking, she said, "You understand so well, help me pick one." I said, "Yes." Then I picked one for her, and I picked two for myself. Wen Fang thought for a while and said, "Help me pick another one, take your ride, I'll buy one more, so that I can make one less trip next time." I nodded and picked another one for her.

Of the four watermelons, I put two in the car basket and one on the side of the faucet. I got into the car and said, "Get in the car, go." Wen Fang looked at it and said, "Is it easy to ride with a watermelon hanging on your dragon's head?" Why don't I walk back? I said, "Good rider, I'm very skilled, get on the bike." Wen Fang nodded and sat down gently in the back seat.

On the way back, Wen Fang still didn't speak, I felt very embarrassed, so I didn't have anything to say: "Why did your dormitory let you come out to buy watermelons, you can't ride, how good it would be for them to ride." Wen Fang said: "We came in turn, and this time it was my turn." There was silence again, and there was nothing to say.

I asked knowingly, "Are you in the same dormitory as Bao Hongyan?" Wen Fang let out a "hmm". I asked, "And who else is in your dormitory?" Wen Fang said: "Xue Yunyan, Fan Chunhua, Yang Qin, Sun Xiaojia." I said, "You don't usually talk much in the dormitory." Wen Fang said: "It's okay, I can also speak." ”

I can't stand it anymore, I've never felt so helpless, I used to be with anyone I didn't want to keep using my brain to find a topic, today I met someone who talked less than me, I finally thought of a topic, and she ended the topic in a few words every time.

Fortunately, I soon arrived downstairs in the girls' dormitory, and before my car stopped, I saw Fan Chunhua coming out of the dormitory building, I thought to myself that it was over, I was bumped into by this gossip queen, and I don't know how much gossip will be born. Wen Fang got out of the back seat of my car, carried a watermelon in one hand and said, "I went up, thank you today." Turning around and just about to leave, he heard Fan Chunhua say, "Yo yo, what is the situation?" Wen Fang nodded at her and went into the dormitory.

I said, "I met on the road, I just hitchhiked, nothing happened." Fan Chunhua stared at me up and down for a long time and said, "It's definitely not simple to be in such a hurry to explain, I'll have to ask Wen Fang when I go back." I said, "Hey, don't gossip so much, everything is wrong in your eyes." Fan Chunhua smiled: "You're right, if this world is without me, it will be more boring." I said, "I'm back in the dormitory, bye-bye." With that, he turned around and left. Fan Chunhua said in the back: "Don't go, I still haven't asked." "How dare I take her words, and ride away quickly without looking back.

Back at the dormitory, we had just opened the watermelon and were ready to eat it, and the class leader Yang Jianshe walked in with a registration form and said, "Brothers, it's our grade's turn to be an orientation volunteer next semester, has anyone signed up in your dormitory?" Except for Fan Rupeng, who was not in the dormitory, the other five people looked at each other and raised their hands in unison. Zheng Xu has always actively participated in this kind of service and public welfare activities, while Peng Bo, Zhang Chu and Lu Xiaojun obviously wanted to see if they could meet the beautiful girls in their freshman year, while I had both ideas.

Yang Jianshe said: "Why are they all so positive, it seems that they are not well-intentioned." Lu Xiaojun said: "Don't say it so ugly, we are all actively participating in activities and willing to contribute." Yang Jianshe said: "You can pull it down, I don't know what kind of virtue you have one by one, it all depends on the girl." Peng Bo said, "You dare to say that you are not?" Yang Jianshe said: "If I don't talk to you, I'll help you report it all, what about Fan Rupeng?" Zhang said: "You don't care about him, the expiration of the absence will be invalid." ”
