Chapter 4: Feelings that slowly brew in a small space
They were strangers, but they looked at each other and smiled in a moment, but they narrowed the distance between each other.
I sat up and quickly turned my head and stroked my messy hair in an attempt to hide the ripples in my heart. The carriage was a little hot, and his face began to turn red to the base of his ears.
"Are you from Nancheng Normal University here?" Boys break embarrassment.
"Oh, no, I'm from Rongcheng Division." I replied with a smile, the boy pointed out the city, and he couldn't break up like he did with the man in white before.
I saw him frowning slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be full of doubt.
"I went back to school from home to record the graduates' information, and I haven't had a vacation yet." I don't know why I explained this to him unconsciously.
"I said, it's going to be a holiday at this time, and I'm just going to run away as soon as I have a holiday." The boy smiled and nodded as he continued, "Not many of us are back to school at this time. ”
"Well, that's why you'll mistakenly think I'm from this Normal University."
The boy smiled and raised his hand, nodded at his mistaken thoughts, and said, "No wonder, you don't deny that you are from the Normal University, and you don't say which city is from the Normal University." He smiled like he was joking with an acquaintance.
"I'm going home for the New Year, but not to my own home." He said the purpose of his trip.
"Oh? And didn't you go back to your home for the New Year? "The purpose of his trip also aroused my curiosity.
"Well, my parents are not here, they didn't go back to their hometown for the New Year, I went to my relatives' house for the New Year." The boy explained.
It was indeed a person with a very special travel plan, and the two of us seemed to have the same thing, and we both ended up on this train and went to the same place.
He and I were chatting, and the old lady was always smiling at us, occasionally engaging in conversations.
The man in white on the top bunk soon joined in.
I don't know how to talk about water and soil. The old lady said that the climate in the south of the city here is difficult to adapt, and it is hot in summer and freezes to death in winter. The climate of Rongcheng is good. I didn't think so, I felt that the climate in Rongcheng was too humid, and every time my clothes couldn't be dried, my joints always hurt.
"Huh? Is it? I don't think Rongcheng is very good. ”
"Don't say that Rongcheng is not good here, most of this trip is to Rongcheng." The boy raised an eyebrow and laughed at me.
"Aren't you from Rongcheng?" The man in white was very confused, he should have been puzzled that someone said that his city was not good, and he mistakenly thought that I was from Rongcheng.
"She's from Nancheng, not from Nancheng Normal University, it's Rongcheng Normal University, and she's going back to school, isn't it strange?" The boy explained for me.
It just saved me the embarrassment of pretending to be garlic knowing that the man in white had misunderstood.
"Didn't you just say that the teacher was great?" The man in white didn't seem to have turned the corner yet.
"That's right, you just asked about the teacher, and you didn't ask which teacher." The boy explained for me what I didn't say.
"I think you look like a native of Rongcheng." The man in white said.
"Right? I also think she looks like a Rongcheng person. The thin boy's eyes sparkled as he spoke.
"What? Do I have the word Rongcheng written on my face? "I'm amused that way they define it.
"No, no, you look very smart, like a Rongcheng person, and a Rongcheng person is a water spirit. Look at her, isn't she very smart? The thin boy pointed at me and said to the man in white.
All of this time, they were staring at me, and I wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and my face should be as red as if I had blushed too much. If it were a different person, I would think that he was coaxing a girl with clever words, but his eyes were very real, and I was not angry.
I had to joke to myself: "The air here is too stuffy, so stuffy that you can be dazzled." ”
I didn't expect the old lady to make fun of me at this time: "Well, you see that your hands and feet are small, and you are very delicate." ”
Since I was a child, I have never been praised like this by a few people, and I was at a loss for a while, staring down at my feet. I saw the thin boy looking this way, and I straightened the collar of my sweater. That's the good thing in winter, pull up the collar and bury my face in it, so that others won't see my blushing face.
Thinking about such an embarrassing time, I thought it was better to avoid it, so I got up and went to the bathroom, and passed by him again, he folded his legs and gave way to me, and I walked quickly, not daring to look at his face.
On the way back, I saw him walking towards me with an apple, and instinctively wanted to back off and let him come first. Who knew that the conductor behind me was already following me with a snack cart. In a short distance, there was no room to retreat, and he and I had to avoid other people's compartments to make way, I smiled awkwardly, and he responded shyly. The two looked at each other, looking at each other, and could even feel the sensation of his snort exhaling on his face, and his face was itchy. As the train swayed, he raised his arm to prop himself up on the bed I was leaning on, and the movement was like a wall knock, and I could even see myself in his eyes. I quickly turned my head sideways and ruffled my hair to look away, and saw the people in the cubicle looking up at us. The conductor and individual passengers passed, and as soon as there was space, I immediately got out, and he followed him out and went to the bathroom in the opposite direction.
The train swayed, and so did the hearts of the people walking, so much so that I could hear my own heartbeat.
After sitting down, I put on my headphones and lay down on the table, still thinking about the scene just now. The old lady had already fallen asleep, and the man in white was not there, so I pursed my lips and touched my face to see if it was still hot, glad that everyone didn't see my embarrassment. Brushing away the mist from the window, the scenery is clearly reflected in front of you, and it seems to be clearer than before.
A figure was seen sitting in the aisle through the window, looking this way.
I kept lying on my stomach in one position, not daring to move, as if I was asleep. It wasn't until he got up and walked away that I quickly lay down that I noticed that my hands were numb and sore. didn't care so much, so he hurriedly lay down and covered most of his face with clothes.
Close your eyes and don't think about anything anymore, a little motion sickness, right? Hurry up and put yourself to sleep. Until the vibration from my phone woke me up, it was supposed to be a mobile notification. I opened my eyes and was about to check the time with my phone, but it was already dark, and only the lights in the aisle remained. One of the heads in the middle bunk suddenly retracted, and I seemed to see his face as I happened to be sleeping facing this side.
Well? Is he looking at me? Or do you want to grab a water bottle on the table?
I didn't think about it, and the light turned on by my phone flashed so that my eyes couldn't open and I couldn't see clearly. It was already evening, so I took a few bites of bread to fill my stomach, and the middle bunk didn't poke my head out again.
It wasn't until I lay down that I felt that he wasn't asleep in the middle bunk, and as long as he moved, I quickly closed my eyes.
And so it was until the next day.
I rarely talk to them when they chat, and occasionally pick up a few words from an old lady. The train slowed down until it stopped, the man in white arrived at the station and got off the train, greeted me before getting off the train, I waved my hand and said goodbye, but the boy in the middle bunk took the initiative to help him carry the box and send him off the train.
The train started again, and I sat and looked out the window, maybe because of the different terrain here, always going into the cave, sometimes bright and sometimes dim as night, and from time to time I could see his shadow through the window. I only heard the little boy next door talking to him all the time: "I've been looking at people, and if I like it, I'll chase it?" If you don't talk about it, you won't have a chance. ”
I didn't dare to look back, I wasn't sure who they were talking about, I was afraid that they were talking about me, and I was afraid that I would be so sentimental that I would bump into his eyes.
I only saw the old lady looking at me and smiling.
So, do you mean me? My heart was very apprehensive, and my mind was blank.
