The people standing next to the track reminded me that I was about to reach the finish line, and at that moment, I felt as if I was stepping on a charcoal fire on the soles of my feet.

According to the volunteer who greeted me at the finish line that day, the moment I finished the 5,000-meter run, my whole body felt as if I had just been salvaged from the water.

In the 5000 meters that day, I ran for 21 minutes.

Living up to expectations, I helped the School of Computer Science win the first place in that track and field event.

That day, the volunteer who had bought me a drink at Hua Ming's request became acquainted with me. When I reached the finish line, she happily helped me into a seat in the side of the lounge, helped me unscrew a bottle of mineral water, and chatted with me while waiting for the students on the track who had not reached the finish line to finish running, and waiting for the announcer to officially announce the rankings.

Half a bottle of mineral water was in my stomach, and I was no better than in the morning: I was still sitting there like a dying fish gasping.

But compared to that morning, I was very awake and I could see the scenery clearly, I could hear the compliments from everyone, and I could clearly feel the enthusiasm of everyone watching the event.

The pain in my feet was unbearable, and after resting for a while, I began to sit up slowly and slowly take off my shoes.

As I ran on the track, the hem of my shoe had cracked, and a few rubber particles from the track had gotten through the rim.

Actually, during the run, I could vaguely feel some particles rubbing between the soles of my feet and toes, but it didn't hurt much at that time.

When it completely stopped, the pain really hit.

I took off my shoes and found that there was some blood oozing from the side of the sports white socks, I was about to take off the socks to take a look at the specific situation, and found that the socks had some adhesion with the flesh on the side of my feet, I closed my eyes, silently gritted my teeth, and quickly tore them, and the socks were pulled off by me "sneering-" at once.

Even though I gritted my teeth, I couldn't stop the faint hum that overflowed my throat.

The volunteer girl was shocked when she saw my movements!

She got up and ran away, explaining as she ran: "Classmate Zijun, don't move, don't move first, you wait for me, I'll go to the infirmary to get you a bottle of iodine!" I don't know how you just got down! ”

I curled up, hugged my feet, and stepped on the edge of the stool, ready to examine my heel, which was also sore with pain. The playground outside the rest area is still so lively.

Suddenly, a shadow hung over my head, robbing me of the light from my feet.

I looked up slowly.

"Liu Zijun, congratulations..."

The voice that I had been longing for for a long time followed his mouth and came to my ears and beat my heart.

The long-awaited face stood in front of my eyes. Although his tone was solemn, those eyes looked into my eyes, and I sank in an instant.

I tilted my head in surprise, looked at him stupidly, and said with a smile: "Hua Ming, you are here, I thought that you would not appear again in the afternoon, and I thought that this time we were in a hurry again..."

"Well, I'm here, Liu Zijun, actually, I've always been..."

Looking at him, looking into those deep eyes, I suddenly had a lot of words, all of which were so excited that I couldn't speak:

"Hua Ming, I, I have a lot to say to you, can you wait for me for a while? By the way, I have money now, I earned money some time ago, and I've been thinking, how can I find you, and last time you borrowed 2,000 yuan from me? I wanted to ask Hua Zheng for your contact information several times, but I didn't dare to do that, I was afraid that I would be too cruel to him..."

He slowly crouched down.

At that moment, I noticed: he was carrying two bags in his hand: one was a plastic bag from the school supermarket, which contained a ball of pink things; The other is the shoe bag of the Li Ning ** store next to the supermarket on campus.

But, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't match him in a high-end silk shirt.

I watched him half-crouch in front of my eyes and watched him lay out the shoeboxes and bags on the ground.

He pulled out a pair of pink slippers from the supermarket's plastic bag: a Mickey Mouse with a bow embedded in the upper of the slipper.

"You step on it first, lightly—" He placed the pink slippers on top of the shoebox, holding my ankle and letting me put my foot in first.

My feet obediently, following his hands, slowly burrowed into those lovely soft slippers.

At that moment, I stared at his hand and silently thought: What is happiness?

Ordinary movements, gentle palms, hide infinite warmth and strength.

In a short life, we are destined to be the dust of the universe; In such a short period of decades, such a fleeting youth, why am I no longer bolder?

Oh, yes? Why don't I be bold?

I want to completely forget all the dirty past, try to love someone, climb a mountain, and chase a dream!

At that moment, I suddenly wanted to be brave enough to tell him what I had suffered in the past, and I wanted an answer.

My feet, wearing slippers, eventually stepped on the surface of the shoebox.

I looked at the top of his head, and my voice trembled: "Hua Ming, I have a long, long story, I want to tell you, are you willing to take some time today and listen to me?" ”

He paused.

Time seemed to stand still for a long time before he raised his face to look at me and smiled at me: "Liu Zijun, I know what you are thinking... Actually, you don't have to think about anything, you just have to work hard in your position, and I'll take care of the rest. You don't have to say anything, I know everything, and besides, I can't stay long today..."

He slowly stood up and turned to leave.

Ignoring the eyes around me, I grabbed his sleeve and whispered eagerly and suppressedly: "Hua Ming, I still have some things I want to ask you..."

Let's not talk about my past, let's just talk about the present, I want to ask him to confirm: the key letter that reported Huang Liqiang last time was not mailed by him.

I want to ask him to confirm that the mobile phone number that sent me a text message and suggested that I go to Fu Huazheng is his?

But the moment I opened my mouth, I suddenly changed the question:

"Hua Ming, you still owe me an explanation: On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, I was waiting for you at the hotel, why didn't you go in?"

I tugged at his cuffs.

He shook his head: "Because, at the moment, there is something very important, and I don't have the ability to give it to you..."

I said with some urgency, "What's that?" Hua Ming, I don't need anything from you... I remember the day you said: Let me wait for you; You also vaguely said: One day in the future, you will let me know how much you love me; I'm very happy: you still like me as you said in the letter in junior high school; I actually like you too, we like each other, isn't that enough? ”

He looked at me, and his face suddenly became a little solemn: "Liu Zijun, you are very good; As I said, it's my problem, there's something very important, and I don't have the ability to give it to you right now..."

I bit my lip, my eyes almost cried, I didn't dare to look around, I lowered my voice and asked him, "What is it?" You inexplicably said that you couldn't give me "love" that day, but then I learned from Hua Zheng that you have a very powerful girlfriend named Wan Baozhu, do you want to be with her in the future? You're forced to do it, aren't you? ”

He suddenly laughed, picked up the hand I was holding his cuffs, held it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Liu Zijun, you think of me Fu Huaming as too incompetent!" A marbauble bead, no problem for me; Don't worry, it's not her, it's my own problem... In the future, when the time comes, I will tell you all, don't think about it. Liu Zijun, you don't need to know so much, you just have to work hard to grow here, and the rest is enough to wait for me..."

I didn't ask anything more and nodded silently to him.
