88. A journey with Xuzhou
Xuzhou's mood is like climbing a mountain, climbing little by little.
In the past few days, he has silently paid attention to Jiang Suwan through Zhou Xiaotong.
But it seems that Jiang Suwan instructed the other party not to disclose his information, so every time he asked, he was also prevaricated.
But Xuzhou is not a 100% coward.
So in the past few days when Wei Ge was away, he escorted Jiang Su several times without hindrance.
When she was eating in the cafeteria, running and exercising between classes, and getting on the bus after the evening self-study, Xuzhou conscientiously maintained the distance that was not far and not close, and was the guardian in the dark, the exclusive guardian who could only see Jiang Suwan.
Many people will make subjective assumptions - what they can't get will make them feel happy, and the so-called "what you can't get will always be in turmoil".
But Xuzhou, who guarded Jiang Su in his evening, understood a little clearly that happiness should not be like this.
Happiness should be contentment, not greed.
So when following Jiang Xuwan, he was always very satisfied—he couldn't think of anything else, just very satisfied and happy.
In his boring youth full of exercises, it is really a great comfort for Xuzhou to be able to meet a Jiang Su night.
Prepare for the college entrance examination with the materials he should do, and then move forward with hope, and live in the same city with the person he likes, even if she always "pushes away" to herself - but these things give him happiness in this moment in life.
He burst out laughing, full of happiness on his good-looking smile.
The difference between Xuzhou's smile and Wei Ge is that there will be pear vortices at the corners of his mouth when he laughs, which is a bit of the temperament of a scholar in the movie, which makes people willing to trust.
At least from the perspective of "ordinary classmates", Jiang Suwan is willing to trust him.
"I'm not just here for this, there's a main favor I need your help."
Jiang Suwan nodded: "What's the busy?" You said. ”
Xuzhou opened his lips slightly, and the words he wanted to say became a twisted force choked in his throat.
It's just an ordinary favor, but he can't help but be afraid of attacking his heart.
Why do you always cringe into your liking?
He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't continue to think about it, time made his courage pass, and he would only become more and more timid.
So—
"Several high schools in nearby cities have a league that takes place in a few hours, and I need someone to help me out...... Do you have time for the evening? ”
League matches...... Jiang Suwan thought of the girl named Su Kexun just now, and thought to herself that she should be in this event.
I don't know why Jiang Suwan inexplicably wants to meet this girl again and confirm something in her heart.
Thinking of Xuzhou's confession to herself some time ago, a certain spirit of facing difficulties in her heart made her make an extreme way - after being silent for a while, Jiang Su looked at Xuzhou generously in the evening.
"Yes."
She hoped that although she didn't like Xuzhou, she wouldn't hurt him - hiding from him was not a very suitable way to deal with it.
Hearing Jiang Suwan's affirmative voice, Xuzhou hooked the corners of his mouth with confidence.
In fact, we will encounter many choices in life that make us daunted, and the butterfly effect caused by each choice is different, and we can't see the ending, so we can only step on one of them by feeling.
And since you have chosen, you shouldn't dwell on what the final outcome will be, just try to do what you want to do.
The so-called fate and ending are actually determined by every step of the moment.
……
The two rushed to the bus stop together and boarded the nearest bus.
Xuzhou planned to sit down at the front of the carriage, but Jiang Xuwan stopped his behavior: "Let's go and sit in the back, and the passengers will come up later, so that everyone can sit down." ”
Xuzhou's heart moved slightly, and he smiled and sat down behind Jiang Suwan at the back of the carriage.
Jiang Suwan looked at him: "Where are we going to sit?" ”
Xuzhou can't see the clear light in Jiang Xu's evening eyes, and if you look at it more, you will be more moved.
So he turned his head away, lowered his head, and his bangs covered the dim light of his eyes.
He whispered: "The café on Fengling Road, we have wrapped it up." ”
Pursing his lips and nodding, Jiang Xu also turned his head and didn't look at the state of Xuzhou again, it seems that saying more can always involve many unnecessary topics.
Jiang Suwan didn't want to avoid Xuzhou, but she wanted to avoid his confessions.
It must also be avoided.
And when Jiang Suwan turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, Xuzhou also followed closely to look at her.
The bus is very slow, stop-and-go, which makes people a little dizzy.
But looking at Jiang Suwan, Xuzhou is very stable.
He was thinking about how good it would be if it could be like this forever, two people contracting a carriage of gentle evenings, and the journey would be a lifetime.
It's just a pity, I'm afraid that he and Jiang Suwan, there will always be someone who will get off halfway, and Jiang Suwan must be the one who rushed into Wei Ge's arms after getting off the car.
He somehow foresaw it.
So he carefully preserved all the moments of solitude before Jiang Xu got off the car, and he tried to engrave every frame on his heart.
"May I ask you a question?" Jiang Suwan couldn't help but ask.
The fact that she could still feel his burning gaze even when her back was away from him really made her a little restless.
She still had her back to Xuzhou, not wanting to turn around and let it start to fall again.
Xuzhou responded gently: "You ask." ”
The voice is gentle and restrained.
Jiang Suwan took advantage of the residual temperature of the sunset outside the car window to make his tone a lot more gentle and natural.
"Why are you ......?"
"Why do you like you?" Xu Xu interrupted directly, expecting what she would ask.
He restrained, fearing that he would explode at some point.
And Jiang Suwan continued to absorb the power of the evening, and the fleeting emotions dissipated with shame, and she didn't know how to continue.
Half a minute cold, Xuzhou took a deep breath and sucked a lot of sorrow into his heart.
Let those complex emotions swirl in the heart, but still suppress some exaggerated emotions.
Xuzhou: "Actually, I met you when I was very young. ”
This sentence made Jiang Suwan's fingers that were tapping on the car window freeze slightly.
She couldn't figure it out, and some unknown sadness, no matter how confused she was, was still in her heart.
"I saw you when I was about nine years old, maybe you don't believe it, but I remember it very well, it was you."
Xuzhou raised his head and looked squarely at the windshield in front of the bus.
The past became very gentle and gentle in his mouth.
"I've seen you follow a police officer, and you may have been too focused to notice me."
"Actually, I couldn't remember it, but after I came back from Shangjing City, you and he walked in front of me, and I followed behind, and I thought about that incident in my sober moment."
"I'm not a romantic person, so I don't really know if I liked you at the time."
"But I know when I liked you."
"When you were standing on the podium, when you bowed at 90 degrees, I accidentally bumped into you, but when you smiled gently, when I couldn't find you when it was raining......"
"I'm actually a bit withdrawn, so I can sense some of your same traits as me."
"I'm not a fancy person, and I hate pandering to the public, so I saw you."
"It seems that the matter of caring about you has been getting clearer and clearer, so I have also made up my mind not to deny it, and I have generously admitted it, admitting it to Wei Ge because of jealousy, and admitting it to you because I don't want you to be entangled."
"yes, I don't want you to get tangled." He nodded in self-affirmation.
There were only the two of them in the empty space, and the driver was driving seriously, and he had no time to pay attention to the secrets of the two teenagers.
He turned his head to look at her and wanted to continue, but saw Jiang Xu falling asleep reflected in the car window.
Laughing helplessly, he stopped all his words.
In Jiang Suwan, he was always ignored here.
He actually wanted to say it.
I want to tell her, don't worry, don't be embarrassed, your likes may be very cheap and disappear soon.
If she is still not at ease after saying this, he can also tell a lie and directly say that he already has another object of interest.
As long as she has deceived her, she will no longer push herself away, she will just face herself calmly.
In that case, it doesn't matter if you can't fool yourself.
He's very shafted.
As he said, he and Jiang Suwan have many similarities.
For example, he is a person who will not give up easily if he decides.
Towards the direction of the heart, unswerving and unhesitating.
He didn't care if it was worth it or not.
The boring youth was full of formulas, and suddenly life also gave him a special formula, and he took it in a panic, but it was slightly embarrassed.
Jiang Suwan eased the tiredness of his adolescence and gave him the ability to have emotional ups and downs.
He was happy in these late hours about Jiang Su, which was already very worthwhile.
He looked out the window at the already gloomy sky, ripples on his heart lake.
What will the weather be like tomorrow?
If the weather is nice, the topics in the books will seem to be more interesting, and it will definitely be warmer when I think about her.
……
In fact, Jiang Su didn't fall asleep at first, but just pretended to be sleepy and didn't let himself listen to those heavy confessions in Xuzhou.
She thought she could handle it well.
But when the time came, he was like a drama actor who was on stage for the first time, and every action that had been brewed during rehearsals suddenly became extremely strange and mechanical.
In a panic, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Who would have thought that after closing his eyes, he would really fall asleep in the lazy glow.
As for what Wei Ge said later, she really didn't hear a word.
After the bus arrived at the station, Xuzhou gently touched Jiang Suwan's shoulder with his shoulder.
