Chapter 21: A Single Arrow in Love
Without Ding Cangyu's days, Gui Shaochen returned to his original appearance, even more decadent than before. The class time has regressed from stepping on the tail of the bell to being late every day, and the results of the monthly exam are not as good as once, and the physical chemistry that once scored more than 100 points has dropped by 20 points. Ding Cangyu felt very guilty, what position did he occupy in his heart, and he could make him collapse.
But there are still so many girls around him, and he happily bragged about the past after class, and went skiing with Zhao Jiaqi on weekends as usual, and went bowling with Ren Zixin...... He seemed to be telling everyone that he was fine.
No one can understand Gui Shaochen's sadness, let alone say it. When he was alone at home, the flood of thoughts rolled in like a tide, and he could only turn off the light and hold the husky hat and think about her silently, saying to himself like a walking corpse, "I don't have any other luxury, I just want you to talk to me." ”
His loneliness is known only to himself.
Without Gui Shaochen's interruption, Ding Cangyu returned to his former peaceful life, and always slowly packed his schoolbag after class, becoming the last person in the class to go home.
The two parallel worlds accidentally collided together, and after a brief encounter, they each returned to their own orbit.
Zhao Jiaqi asked Gui Shaochen out every weekend as usual, and the thunder could not move, rain or shine. Every time, I will change my tricks and propose some new and interesting places to ask him to go with him. Gui Shaochen will not shirk most of the time, but after a long time, he is afraid that Zhao Jiaqi will misunderstand the relationship between the two, and gradually learns to sincerely refuse, instead of replacing it with lies.
Zhao Jiaqi was very disappointed, Ding Cangyu was obviously out, why did he still fail to become the winner. She couldn't help it, and after being refused by Gui Shaochen to spend the weekend with again, she decided to tell him her true words. During the lunch break on Friday, Gui Shaochen was lying on the table dreaming of spring and autumn, and Zhao Jiaqi gently patted him on the shoulder to wake him up.
"Gui Shaochen, you come out, I have something to say to you."
Gui Shaochen slept vaguely, his brain hadn't woken up yet, and he followed her to the corridor in a daze.
"What can't you say in the classroom?"
"Gui Shaochen, I like you."
Zhao Jiaqi's voice was not loud, but it was enough to wake Gui Shaochen from his slumber. He touched his forehead and pinched his arm, everything was real, not a dream.
Sure enough, he was afraid of something, and the friendship he identified had been sublimated into love in the eyes of the other party.
He said euphemistically: "I'm sorry, Jiaqi, I don't usually understand the balance between boys and girls, I apologize for your misunderstanding." ”
"You don't have to apologize, I've been in love with you for a long time."
"But I'm ...... I ......"
"The person you like is not me, it's Ding Cangyu, right?"
Gui Shaochen hesitated and did not say what he didn't say, but Zhao Jiaqi said a word, as a girl, she could see through where the single arrow in this relationship was pointing.
Gui Shaochen nodded lightly and did not deny it, he didn't want to hide it. Zhao Jiaqi confirmed the answer that he had guessed for a long time, and the stone he was carrying in his heart fell to the ground, but he injured himself hard. Although it was only a confirmation of something that she knew the answer to, it also meant that the last glimmer of hope was dashed, how could she not be sad.
"Did you tell her?"
"Nope." "Then let's talk about it after graduation, she won't think about it now."
Zhao Jiaqi knew that she had lost the opportunity, but she hoped that Gui Shaochen could be happy, and the straightforward Zhao Jiaqi pointed out a clear path for Gui Shaochen.
"Thank you, you're sure to meet better boys."
Gui Shaochen didn't know what to say to apologize, he just wanted to try not to make Zhao Jiaqi too sad.
Zhao Jiaqi nodded with tears in his eyes, and his obscure crush was over. Turning around, she couldn't control her tears and cried. In the days when she was about to say goodbye, she said goodbye to her unrequited love that was not bright and fruitless.
This year's winter vacation came very early, Gushan No. 3 Middle School, which has always regarded time as life, has an unprecedented fifteen-day winter vacation, you must know that for senior high school students who only have two days off a month, the fifteen-day vacation is more precious than the roast duck in the eyes of the little girl who sells matches. Gushan No. 3 Middle School has one of the best admission rates in the province every year, in addition to high-quality teachers, another reason is that classes are held day and night.
Ding Cangyu received a call from Qiao Aifei the day before the holiday, she finally persuaded Ding Cangyu to go to Beijing for the New Year, in order to prevent Ding Zhengnan from suddenly changing her hexagram, she put down the phone and immediately booked a ticket, and arranged the round-trip itinerary to be relieved.
Ding Cangyu was not worried that Ding Zhengnan was alone in Gushan for the New Year, she purchased all the New Year's goods the day before leaving, and specially pasted the couplets and hung colorful lights on the balcony to make the home look lively. She also told Chu Hua to bring her parents to visit the New Year on the second day of the Lunar New Year, otherwise her father would be too lonely at home alone.
Ding Zhengnan is a person with a minimalist life and has no concept of festivals, especially the Spring Festival. People are a year old, what is there to celebrate.
He sent Ding Cangyu to the station, patiently listened to his daughter's advice, Ding Cangyu in his eyes was no longer a little girl, she had grown up and knew how to care about people.
The Lupi Railway Station stopped and rumbled for 22 hours before arriving in Beijing. As soon as he got off the train, Ding Cangyu saw Qiao Aifei standing at the pick-up gate and looking anxiously inside. The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, and Qiao Aifei's tears instantly fell from her eyes.
She excitedly hugged Ding Cangyu and looked up and down, her eyes were full of concern.
"Good daughter, why have you lost so much weight, is it that Ding Zhengnan won't take care of you?"
Ding Cangyu was also very excited when she saw her mother, she choked up and said, "No, my dad is very good to me, and I am too tired in the third year of high school." ”
"It's only been half a year, it's good to get through. Your Uncle Qi and I helped you pick a lot of good schools, and you will go to school next to your mother in the future. ”
Qiao Aifei was so excited to see Ding Cangyu that she forgot to introduce each other. She pulled Qi Jiesheng down to her side, and said that she wanted to say goodbye: "This is your Uncle Qi, I met in Beijing...... Friend. ”
From Qiao Aifei's shy and awkward expression, Ding Cangyu guessed what kind of friend he was. She was surprised that her mother had a new home, but she never mentioned it to her.
