July Snow (2)
In many cases, when people find beautiful things, they always think of the corresponding darkness. This may be because human beings are too greedy to have any flaws in the future.
Wu Fan sat quietly at his desk, with a book spread out in front of him, and a photo was sandwiched in the book. He rubbed his hands lightly over the photo, his eyes were gentle, as if he was nostalgic for something.
The photo shows a girl in a pale cyan hanfu who looks to be only eleven or twelve years old. The bun on her head is a little crooked, adding a bit of playfulness and cuteness, coupled with the warm and cheerful smile on the corner of her mouth, a fresh feeling of a girl by the water in the south of the Yangtze River in ancient times comes to her face.
There is a line of small characters at the bottom of the photo, but because it is often played with, it is blurred, and I can only barely see the word "Jiang Yu", which should be the girl's name?
Suddenly, Wu Fan stopped what he was doing, his face full of shameful anger.
At that moment just now, he actually thought of Ye Qixue! In front of the only remaining photo of a girl, he had another girl in his mind.
"It shouldn't be like this." Wu Fan's face was painful, and he reached out and pulled his hair vigorously, as if he wanted to pull something out of his mind. But despite this, that thought was like a demon, hovering deep in my mind, lingering - do I like Ye Qixue?
No! No! You are betrayal! Have you forgotten your vows? What the hell are you doing? He kept torturing himself, trying to save himself from this confused situation.
After the winter vacation, Wu Fan felt as if he had successfully pulled out of the tempting but sinful whirlpool and began to continue to maintain his original lifestyle. Even if Ye Qixue's shadow occasionally flashed in front of him, he also warned himself that he was just an ordinary classmate and an ordinary concern.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This state of self-deception lasted for more than half a year, until one day in the first semester of the second year of junior high school, this thin layer of lies was finally burned through by the flame in my heart.
On a whim that morning, Wu Fan got up very early, and when he arrived at school, he found that the classroom had not yet opened. So he casually walked around the campus in the early morning, and finally made up his mind to go around the small river in the school.
As he walked to the river, he heard a slight cry. Following the prestige, on a large rock by the river, a long-haired girl in a grass-green coat buried her head deep in her knees, her body still trembling and throbbing.
Wu Fan felt embarrassed and was about to turn around and leave, but the girl suddenly raised her head and looked this way.
Wu Fan was stunned.
That's Ye Qixue. It's just that now her eyes are red and swollen, her eye circles are red, and the tears on her face are clearly visible. Wu Fan stayed where he was, forgetting that he should leave immediately, but instead stared at Ye Qixue intently, her heartbroken look all over her mind.
Seeing this, Ye Qixue reached out to wipe away her tears and quietly walked away.
Wu Fan felt suddenly very uncomfortable in his heart, his mouth felt like someone had stuffed a lime, bitter and sour, he wanted to catch up and comfort her, but he couldn't move.
Throughout the day, Wu Fan was in a state of confusion and discomfort.
When he was in math class, the teacher asked him to answer the question, and Wu Fan didn't hear it after calling three times. After Su Can kicked him hard, he woke up like a dream, looked at the blackboard full of branches, and said for a long time that he wouldn't come to one, two, three. Seeing this, the math teacher could only wave his hand helplessly to let him sit down.
When Wu Fan sat down, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Ye Qixue's back in front of him on the left. He always felt that the back was a little lonely, and he remembered how sad she was in the morning.
After class, the classmates in the class frolicked as usual, while Wu Fan and Ye Qixue just sat in their seats and were silent, and the joy in the class had nothing to do with them, just like two different worlds isolated by projection lights on the stage.
After school, Su Can called Wu Fan to go with Lin Yi, Wu Fan just shook his head gently, and the depression in his heart was like the cloudy sky outside the window, so stuffy that he couldn't breathe. Seeing Wu Fan's depressed appearance, the two looked at each other helplessly, patted Wu Fan's shoulder, left an umbrella, and left first.
The people in the classroom gradually left, and in the end, only Wu Fan and Ye Qixue were left.
After a long time, Wu Fan saw Ye Qixue get up and leave the classroom, and then he slowly left.
It was already raining a lot outside, and the campus was white.
Wu Fan raised his umbrella and walked forward, looking around, and saw a green figure wandering in the rain in front of him.
He hesitated for a moment, then rushed forward firmly.
Ye Qixue suddenly felt that the rain on her head had stopped, and after a pause for a few seconds, she raised her head blankly and saw the young man with an umbrella.
She pursed her cold, somewhat pale lips, and stepped out of the range of the umbrella without speaking.
The umbrella followed, over her head.
If so, three.
Ye Qixue cried violently, "Enough, I don't need sympathy!" The emotions that had been accumulated for a day exploded, and with her strength, she pushed Wu Fan away.
Wu Fan took a few steps back, but Ye Qixue fell to the ground because of the interaction force.
Wu Fan stepped forward and blocked the rain for her.
Under the umbrella, Ye Qixue's clothes were already soaked, tightly wrapped around her body, her long hair was soaked in water and adhered together, her delicate face was covered with rain, and two lines of warm tears kept washing.
Wu Fan didn't speak, silently looked at the girl who was sitting on the ground crying silently, let her vent her emotions, and just held the umbrella steadily.
In the distance is the sound of the rain, in and out is the sound of the rain hitting the umbrella, outside the umbrella is the cold rain curtain, under the umbrella is the silence of the boy and the sadness of the girl.
This picture, with a wonderful atmosphere, blooms in the heavy rain of late autumn.
After about ten minutes, Ye Qixue stopped her tears and looked up at the boy who was silently holding an umbrella for herself. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her eyes were shining, with a complex look of gratitude, shame, and a faint hint of resentment.
She struggled to get up, but her legs were numb and she tried several times without success. Wu Fan stretched out his hand, didn't say anything, and looked at her calmly.
After being silent for a moment, Ye Qixue still put on this hand, stood up calmly, let go of her hand, moved her legs and feet, and then acquiesced to Wu Fan's escort, and the two walked forward side by side again.
Wu Fan took out a tissue and handed it to her, she slowly wiped the water on her face and neck, still silent.
In the white rain ahead, two umbrellas bloomed and moved slowly to this side.
It turned out that Su Can and Su Ya, who had long felt that Wu Fan and Ye Qixue's emotions were not right, came back to take a look because they were not worried about the two.
Su Can saw the wet Ye Qixue and Wu Fan huddled under an umbrella, and as soon as he laughed loudly, he was glared at fiercely by the sister next to him, and immediately stopped and laughed awkwardly.
Ye Qixue still didn't speak, but turned her head in the opposite direction of Wu Fan, and her face turned slightly red.
Su Ya walked forward, naturally took Ye Qixue under her umbrella, and then smiled and waved at the two big boys to escort Ye Qixue home.
Wu Fan looked at Su Ya, who was smiling sweetly in the rain, and Ye Qixue, who had already started chatting with Su Ya, and felt grateful in his heart, but he was stunned.
Su Can walked in front of him with a cheap smile on his face, and his face was full of curiosity and ridicule.
Wu Fan found the air bag and smashed it with an old fist.
In this anticlimactic escort, Wu Fan and Ye Qixue didn't say a word, but this wordless tacit understanding and subtle atmosphere deeply moved Wu Fan, and also pierced the last window paper in his heart, and the raging flame slowly burned in his heart.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night, Wu Fan sat at his desk and prayed silently to the photo: "I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, I found the person who can give everything again, this time, I don't want to lose it again." ”
He clasped his hands together, full of piety, hoping that he would not lose again, and that she had lived well.
The girl Wu Fan used to like, gentle and beautiful, like an unstained lotus, but left prematurely before the flowering season arrived. This is also the deepest scar in Wu Fan's heart.
It was also such a rainy day in late autumn, Wu Fan held an umbrella, she took Wu Fan's hand, and the two returned home together in the rain. The two looked at each other and smiled, and their smiles were only happy, because they didn't understand the word "sweet" at that time.
They, or children.
The visibility in the heavy rain was extremely low, and when the front of the car without lights suddenly appeared in front of the two, Wu Fan was stunned for a moment and completely forgot to dodge. A small force pushed Wu Fan and staggered, and happened to fall on the side of the road, Wu Fan saw that the girl who was as gentle as water still had a shallow smile on her face.
"No !!" Wu Fan screamed. The sound was mixed with the sharp sound of brakes, the dull crash, and the thud of the rain on the umbrella, like a heavy hammer, slammed into his head, and his eyes went black, and he fainted on the spot.
Before he fell unconscious, the smell of burnt rubber mixed with a touch of blood became his last impression of the girl.
In the second half of the year, as soon as Wu Fan saw the car, he was dizzy and nauseous.
After that, Wu Fan vowed never to like anyone again
Because I am afraid of losing, I am even more afraid of getting.
But now, Wu Fan looked at that photo with a relieved smile on his face.
