Recently, the girls in the class have started to embroider cross-stitch. An'an, Lingzi and Xiaoxiao are also ready to chase this trend, and in the cross-stitch shop outside the school, they are at a loss for what to do in the face of a dazzling array of works.

"What's the best choice? I'm dazzled. Xiaoxiao said.

"That's beautiful!" Lingzi pointed to a huge cross-stitch product, which was a golden scene of autumn leaves, "Gold all over the ground? The name is too cheesy. ”

"I think this one is good!" An'an clings to a painting about the size of their single table, a piano flying in the air, shining with smart light, like a piano in a time tunnel, and as if it is in the Milky Way, I can't say the specific reason, but An'an likes this painting very much, and it reads "One life." ”

"Why a lifetime? I don't understand. ”

"That's why I like it, I feel like it's the only painting that has a life!" Anan said, "Boss, I want this." ”

"Do you want to embroider or buy the finished product?"

"I'll embroider it myself!"

"Okay." The boss turned around and went to the container to get it.

"Boss, get us the same too!" Xiaoxiao shouted.

"The same, isn't it? That's three? ”

"Well, three!" Lingzi said: "Anyway, I don't know which one to buy, so I'll be up to you." ”

"Hmm. I think it's pretty good. ”

"I also think it's not bad, it's better than any gold full of land and red luck."

"yes!" Xiaoxiao said: "Look, it's all home and everything, and I love you for 10,000 years!" It's so cheesy. ”

"Little girl, you don't understand, there are many people who buy this kind of now. But there are also people of your age who come to me to buy them, all of them are to buy some small animals, landscape paintings and so on. ”

"Didn't you see that?" Xiaoxiao said.

"There are no finished products, they are all on the cabinet, you have to find them yourself."

"Forget it, it's the same."

Each of the three men took one and walked out.

"Let's go have a drink, I'm in for a treat!" Anan said.

"Didn't you say you've been poor lately? How can we still have the money to treat us to drinks? ”

"Because I'm making money."

"Do you mean Yan Xiaoxiao's shop?"

"Yes, she just needs people, a hundred a day, do you want to do it?"

"Don't you work on Saturdays? Then we'll only have to be on Sundays? No, you can't go to work at the same time on Sundays. ”

"I'll ask her then, if I work part-time, I should be able to work on an hourly basis."

"Okay, we can all make money if we can."

"If you really want to make money, you can do it a long time ago, Yiyi hasn't been working."

"What does she do?" Anan asked.

"Oh yes, you don't know if you go back to your dorm so late every day." Xiaoxiao said: "She originally went to the insurance company to call from 6 to 8 o'clock in the evening, and she didn't know if it was more than ten yuan for an hour, and then she took the phone back and called it for a month." ”

"And this kind of work?"

"Yes, but I feel very annoying, I keep calling, we have to plug in headphones when we watch a variety show or something, otherwise we can only hear her voice."

"I can't do that kind of work." Reiko said.

"I can't call either." Anan said.

As soon as he entered the milk tea shop, he saw a familiar figure, An An only saw his side face, and he didn't dare to confirm it, so he didn't come forward to say hello.

"An'an, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, I feel like I've met a former classmate, but I'm not sure if it's him."

"Where?"

Suddenly, the boy stood up and turned around and walked out the door, just passing by An An's side, An An realized that this person was actually picking up memories!

Shiyi also saw An An, his face full of surprise. "An'an?"

"Pick up the memory!"

"Why are you here?"

"Me? My school is right here, huh? ”

"Huh? Are you here? Then how come I've never met you before, I often come to this shop. ”

"I only came here this semester, and I changed campuses."

"Oh, my school isn't far from here."

"Really? Such a coincidence. ”

"Yes, what a coincidence, we will be able to meet more often in the future."

"Hmm."

"How are you doing?"

"It's good."

"By the way, leave a phone number, you seem to have changed your mobile phone number, and you can't get through."

"Yes, my phone was stolen at the time, and your number was gone, and then I changed the number provided by the school, so that it was cheaper to call."

"My number hasn't changed. Looks like you don't even remember my number. ”

"yes, I don't have a good memory."

"Then I'll go first, and next time I have a chance to play with you."

"Okay." An An nodded at Shiyi, otherwise he would walk out of the door directly, but he didn't expect to turn back to the counter, say something to the clerk, and then pay and leave.

"Bye-bye!"

"Bye-bye!"

The waiter brought a large plate of fruit salad and three desserts to the An'an table. Lingzi and Xiaoxiao were dumbfounded.

"We didn't order it!" Anan said.

"Oh, that guy ordered it for you just now, and he's already paid for it."

"Thank you!" Anan nodded at the waiter.

"Who? So generous? Xiaoxiao asked.

"Former tablemates!"

"At first glance, he is a rich man, what? Hasn't this guy chased you before? ”

"No, don't talk nonsense."

"How is that possible? You can see that you must have had a good relationship before, right? ”

"It's not bad, after all, it's the same table."

"What tablemates? It's as simple as that? I don't believe it. ”

"Hurry up, have you ever chased you, have you ever been better?"

"Xiaoxiao, don't you think that the boys around me have anything to do with me, okay?"

"It's not Oh An'an, the key is that the way he looks at you is very special."

"People are about to get married, so don't guess here."

"Married? Isn't that still in school? What kind of marriage? ”

"His girlfriend is older than him, and he graduated early, so of course he is going to get married."

"That's right."

"What's wrong? It's a pity, right? Otherwise, I can introduce it to you! An An said to Xiaoxiao.

"Me? Forget it, I can't hold it. ”

"I'm serious, just looking at his eyes, it still seems to be interesting to you."

"What?"

"I can't be mistaken, a woman's intuition. You must have something before, tell us, tell us what you were afraid of? ”

An An wanted to speak and stopped, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, she and Shiyi had their own lives, and it seemed immoral to talk about the past now.

"Not really!" An An said, maybe too much time has passed, maybe she has gradually grown up, about that past, she really doesn't understand the heart of remembering that time, at that time, maybe she didn't even like it.

She remembered the day the two of them were standing in the classroom.

"Where will you go in the future?"

"Iwabayashi City!"

"Will that remember me?"

"Yes."

"Can we meet again?"

"Hmm."

"If I don't want you anymore, I want you!"

An'an lowered his eyes and didn't speak.

"Just kidding."

"You have to be nice with her, too." Anan smiled at him.

"Listen to you."

"Then I'm leaving."

"Well, good. See you on graduation day! ”

"Bye-bye."

She was just about to walk out of the classroom when Memories called out to her.

"An'an!"

"Huh?"

When she turned around, she leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, and she took two steps back in fright.

"Forgive me, I just don't want to regret myself, I hope you remember me!"

She remembers how panicked she was and ran all the way back to the classroom. Now that I think about it, it's a bit ridiculous.

The past came back to her mind one by one, and she only remembered the poem:

I like that you're silent

It's as if you're gone

I love it when you listen to me from afar

But my voice can't reach you

It's as if your eyes have flown away

Like a kiss that seals your mouth

Let me speak to you through your silence

It's as if you're gone

Distant and sad

As if you're dead

A word and a smile for each other are enough

And I'm going to feel happy because that's not true.

Time is like a clear river, you can wash everything clean, even if you can't wash it, you can reveal your true appearance, when An'an faces and recalls this time together, she knows too well, more clearly than An'an before, she doesn't love him, she likes him at most, because he can always stand up when she needs it most, she still has a sense of admiration for him, because what she can't do, he always completes it so easily.

But deep down in her heart, she still cherishes this time, at least it is simple and beautiful. It's like her dying youth, full of holes and clumsy, but it's real and moving.

Back in the dormitory, An'an, Lingzi and Xiaoxiao opened the newly bought cross-stitch and prepared to start embroidering with great interest.

"An'an, this one of yours must have been embroidered for regeneration, right?" Reiko asked.

"Well, I think I'll embroider it for him and take it back and hang it in the room."

"For a lifetime!" Xiaoxiao said.

"And who are you embroidering it for?" Anan asked.

"Who else can I give it, I'll take it home and hang it in my room." Xiaoxiao replied.

"I don't know, I'll embroider first."

"Where to start?" An'an was stunned at the white embroidered cloth and a pile of colored threads in front of him.

"Start in the middle?" Xiaoxiao said.

"From the far left?" Reiko said.

An Shore was in a daze, a little at a loss.

"I don't care, I'll start with this color with the most." Xiaoxiao said.

"Which color is the most?" Reiko asked.

"It's black."

"Really? But there's a lot of gray one. ”

"I think so."

"Then choose your favorite color to get started!" Anan said.

The three of them quietly began their craft. Yiyi walked in and took a look, "What's the situation, are you doing manual work?" ”

"Just bought cross-stitch."

"Embroider what?"

"Piano."

"Where did you buy it?"

"A new store at the back door of the school."

"Then I'll buy it too." Yiyi said and went out.

"Did she really go?" Xiaoxiao asked.

"I guess so."

"Do you believe she'll buy the same with us?" Reiko said.

"Probably not this time. She doesn't think there's anything nice about embroidering a piano. ”

"I think so." An'an smiled and said, "If it's for his boyfriend, it's even more impossible to give this one." ”

"And what do you think she'll buy?"

"I can't guess, who can know that she has such a strange aesthetic."

"I think it must be people, it has to do with people, maybe a man and a woman."

"Yes, I remembered, isn't there a picture that is the same as a wedding photo, a woman wearing a wedding dress, a man wearing a suit, holding hands like this."

"Which one you say? It's possible. ”

"It's ugly, it's too vulgar."

"How about we make a bet?"

"Don't be funny, what else are you betting?" Anan said.

"Who bet on you, I think the same way."

"Then the two of us make a bet with An'an."

"Why? Am I as good as you think? Anan smiled.
