Chapter 20: Confession
Today is Friday.
The weather was surprisingly good.
Looking up slightly, the sky was blue, and white clouds floated in the air like marshmallows.
The sun shines warmly on people.
Han Xueni thought: I haven't seen Mo Xiao for four days.
Although he knew that Mo Xiao was participating in the joint debate competition at Qichen University, he was inexplicably ...... Miss him.
And in the past few days, Yuqing has also been busy with host training, and the two rarely have time to meet together.
Or to be precise, the two avoided each other, consciously or unconsciously.
The grove behind the Dao Garden. It was quiet and peaceful, with the occasional few small birds whispering and singing softly in the branches.
The afternoon sun is warm, and the sunlight shines lazily on people through the gaps between the leaves.
Han Xueni, who was on the stone bench, gently closed the book she had just finished reading, prepared to face the sun, and slowly walked back to the dormitory building.
on the boulevard. Coincidentally, I met the boy who gathered the light.
The girl didn't know whether to turn around pretending not to see it, or to greet her casually.
Just when the girl hesitated, it was Zhao Chenyi who relieved the embarrassment first, "Xueni, just came back from studying?" ”
Han Xueni saw that Zhao Chen was generous, but she was a little twisted, so she also smiled, "No, senior, I just came back from reading the book." ”
Zhao Chen glanced at the book in the girl's hand, "Osamu Dazai's "Human Disqualification" is very sad. ”
The girl nodded, "Well, it's very sad writing." After a pause, the girl said, "From beginning to end, it's just a boy who longs for love." ”
Zhao Chenyi looked at the girl's lowered eyes, and gently pulled out the book from the girl's hand, "Have you finished reading the book?" If you're done, lend me a look. ”
Han Xueni was slightly stunned, "Well, okay." ”
The cool breeze gently rustled the leaves.
Zhao Chenyi had no reason, and wanted to rub the girl's hair. But he immediately restrained himself.
Turning around slightly, facing the girl, Zhao Chen said seriously: "Han Xueni, I like you a little." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The girl was stunned in place, and was puzzled: Senior Chenyi, what's wrong?
The girl returned to the dormitory building in a daze.
I don't know what to do, I don't know how to respond to this kind of thing.
Because, she already has someone she likes.
And I liked it...... 6 years.
Just when the girl's thoughts were complicated, the ringtone of her mobile phone interrupted her.
Seeing the name displayed on the mobile phone screen, Han Xueni unconsciously hung up at the corner of her mouth.
Put through. "Hey, Mo Xiao?" There is indescribable joy in the hearts of girls.
"Xue Ni......" The boy on the other end of the phone coughed unnaturally, "I will come back from Venucia University in the afternoon." We'll see you at seven o'clock in the evening in front of the Taoist Garden. I...... Something to tell you. ”
The girl didn't know why, "Seven o'clock?" Good. By the way, Mo Xiao, how about the debate tournament between you and Venucia University against South China and East China University? ”
On the other end of the phone was the boy's confident voice: "The final of the debate is coming soon, we have made sufficient preparations, rest assured, the winning rate is very large." ”
Han Xueni couldn't help but smile a little smugly in her heart, too, how could there be anything that Mo Xiao couldn't do?
"Here you go...... Come on, guys! Go for the finals! The girl pursed her lips, almost, almost revealing her heart so unscrupulously.
"Good!" As if smiling, the boy's voice softened.
After hanging up the phone, Han Xueni flipped through the book, but found that she couldn't read it. At night, what did Mo Xiao have to say to himself?
The street lights on the boulevard are lit, and the red maple leaves that have fallen to the ground are complementary.
The breeze blows slightly, and the Dao Garden at seven o'clock has an indescribable quiet beauty.
Although today is Friday, there are still bustling students shuttling in the Dao Garden.
Walking back and forth on the red carpet paved with maple leaves, there is the sound of "rustling" under your feet.
The girls arrived at the Daoyuan in advance. She would love to see him sooner.
After a while, listening to the voice, the girl knew that the boy she liked was coming.
The girl looked up and crashed into the boy's clear eyes.
A dark green trench coat is worn with a white sweatshirt and simple slim black trousers. Also, a pair of white sneakers that he cherished.
Han Xueni inexplicably felt that today's boys were indescribably different, as if they had been dressed up on purpose.
There is a more dazzling light.
The boy trotted all the way over, gasping for breath. Then he gently rubbed the girl's head and smiled slightly: "Oh, the medal of the debate competition." ”
A golden medal fell into the hands of the girls, and it was written - Best Debater Summer Late Shaw
Han Xueni couldn't help but smile sweetly, and said arrogantly: "This kind of case, for Mo Xiao, it's a small case." ”
His eyes were full of joy, as if he had won this gold medal by himself.
"Xueni, I think you can keep all the medals for me in the future." The boy looked at the girl with a smile.
"Okay, no problem." After a few seconds of pause, the girl reacted, "Huh? What the? ”
At the end of the summer, Xiao rubbed the girl's hair and smiled softly: "You take the medal." ”
The girl gave a sluggish response, lowered her head, and inexplicably reddened her ears.
"Do you remember your favorite sport in junior high school?"
Han Xueni replied without thinking: "Of course it's tennis." ”
The boy touched his nose and said helplessly: "Cut, the key is that you played really badly." ”
was directly robbed, and the girl was immediately a little aggrieved and angry, "It's not that I don't have enough wrist strength." I can practice. ”
"Do you still want to learn tennis?"
The girl nodded, "Of course." ”
Xiao Xiao's firm voice came at the end of the summer, "I can accompany you to practice." Whoa—"
The girl's hand is magical, with an extra ball, a special tennis ball.
A tennis ball designed by Shaw himself at the end of the summer, with cartoon avatars of him and her, a one-of-a-kind tennis ball.
She remembers that in the second year of junior high school, she liked to play tennis very much, but because the girls had little strength and insufficient wrist strength, many times the tennis in physical education class was directly borrowed by the boys in the second and third years of junior high school. At that time, she jokingly said to Mo Xiao: "If only I had a tennis ball of my own." ”
At that time, this sentence was actually just a joke.
After saying this, her father went back and bought her new tennis rackets and tennis balls.
Although she liked it, she didn't play tennis much after that. In the end, it was the one who didn't stick to what he liked.
But four years later, the former teenager made this sentence come true.
It's a kind of memory that I keep in my heart.
Something slightly entered the corner of the girl's eye.
Then, a soft word carried the speed of the wind and gently shook the girl's ear drum.
"Han Xueni, I like you."
The girl smiled happily, just like her confession to him on that warm afternoon in the second year of junior high school, and he said - he is willing.
The wind has become gentle. It's as if every cell is stretched and happy. She thought, just like the sentence in the book - if you don't forget, there will be an echo.
Her teenager, the boy she had liked for 6 years, was still willing to stand by her side, regardless of the three years of high school-
As if suddenly thinking of something, the girl took a step back.
"Mo Xiao ......," the boy listened softly.
She wanted to give him a response. But looking at the panicked self in the boy's eyes, she hesitated.
If Mo Xiao knew about the three years of high school, what would he think of himself? Will he still like himself?
He was as bright as a galaxy, but she had fallen to the dust.
If he knew all this, what would he think of her?
"Mo Xiao ...... I ......"
At the end of the summer, Xiao saw the girl's panic, and he knew that she had her secret in her heart.
He didn't want to find out her secret, and if it was her scar, he wanted it not to be brought up.
He just wanted her to know that he was there, that he was there for her.
At the end of the summer, Xiao gently put the tennis ball into the girl's pocket and gently took the girl's hand, "It's okay, I'll tell me when you think about it." ”
There is warmth in the palm, a warmth unique to boys.
The girl smiled, Mo Xiao, I always feel that I am always very stable by your side.
The girls tightened their hands as they held each other.
Mo Xiao, if one day, you know my secret, are you still willing to hold my hand?
You...... Still willing?
The weather is getting colder, and the coolness of winter is blowing on my cheeks.
But just like this, I have been walking with Mo Xiao, and I always feel that it is such a stable thing.
Warm from the head to the heart, happy and happy.
But such happiness ...... Will it be mine forever?
Han Xueni tightened the hands that were holding each other.
A warmer temperature came from the palm of your hand.
The girl looked up and smiled: "Okay, Mo Xiao, I'm in the dormitory." ”
At the end of summer, Xiao rubbed the broken hair on the girl's forehead, and she was really reluctant to let her go.
"Well, go back and get some rest." Xia Mo Xiao coughed, "That answer is okay, tell me when you think about it." ”
"Well, good" the girl smiled and nodded with clear eyes.
Tomorrow is the weekend, and my dorm mates are going back.
Han Xueni took out the tennis ball in her pocket and looked at the two cartoon characters on it, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
But in the next second, a voice said clearly: "Are you worthy of Mo Xiao?" Do you dare to let him know about your three years of high school? ”
The girl hugged herself helplessly, "But...... What can I do, what can I do? ”
Another voice in my heart tore and argued: "Don't you believe in the relationship between you at all? Or are you afraid of losing, so you don't dare to face it? ”
"At best, you're just a coward!"
The girl said to herself: "I ...... I'm not. ”
If...... I try to grasp happiness, happiness...... Will it be in my hands too?
"Ding-" WeChat's voice.
Open it. It was the boy's words of concern: "I am alone in the dormitory at night, remember to rest early, don't stay up late, drink more water, and I will solve it tomorrow for breakfast." ”
Edit the text message: "Remember, Mo Xiao. "At the end is a cute expression.
The girl stared at the text message for a long time.
Suddenly, it seemed that he had made his own decision with all his might.
The girl is firm in her inner choice. Now that her boy has taken a step closer to her, she is also willing to try to forget the past and run towards a future with him.
Even the last of the last, she ...... Scarred.
As if she had plucked up her courage, Han Xueni dialed the phone.
The phone on the other end of the street was picked up, "Hey? ”
"Yuqing, can we talk?"
After a blank silence, a voice sounded; "Okay, I'll come over now."
