"And what did she do with it?"

Xu Siyang slowly put the meat into the pot, and spoke slowly through the heat: "She took the basketball in my hand and agreed with a smile to the big man to be his girlfriend." ”

"Huh?" I was so shocked that I was about to drop my chopsticks, and I couldn't manage my facial expressions at all: "Then this, too, is it true?" ”

"That's not what you're trying to say, is that?" He looked at me with a smile, reached out to me for a cup, and poured me hot ginger ale: "What you want to say should be that this is too much to play with that big man's feelings, right?" ”

I smiled and stretched out the cup, he smiled slightly, and continued: "It's not just you, everyone thought so at the time, including the big man who confessed." ”

"Then wouldn't he, wouldn't he mind, willing to be with Senior Sister Wang Min so hastily?"

"Naturally." Xu Siyang scooped up a piece of meat, tried it, and then put a big chopstick in my bowl, and said vaguely: "He has liked Wang Min for a long time, and he naturally has to cherish this opportunity." ”

I nodded, shoved the beef I was playing with into my mouth, and nodded.

I don't know if I think Xu Siyang's words are reasonable, or if I think the hot pot is too delicious.

Xu Siyang watched me eat with relish, looked at me with soft and clear eyes, and took a sip of beer with a smile.

I kept my mouth on for a moment, but my eyes were fixed on him, and I motioned for him to continue.

After he finished his beer, he gave me a knowing look, thought about it seriously, and continued: "After that, they were officially together, and I could see them playing basketball on the court opposite me every day. ”

"She looks pretty good about the tall man, she talks and laughs, but she has a good relationship. Occasionally, they would ask me to come over and play together, and the relationship was relatively close. ”

"It's been almost a month. We had a fall basketball tournament, and the tall man and I happened to be opponents, and we never played together again to prevent the other from seeing through our tactics. ”

"A few more days later, the day before the basketball game. The boy found me out of the blue. Said to go heads-up basketball.

I didn't. After a while she came over and looked at me with a playful look on her face.

I also looked at her and asked her directly if she wanted me to lose or win this time.

She's still the same sentence you are casual. ”

I was a little puzzled: "What are they doing here?" ”

Xu Siyang shook his head and took a sip of beer: "I don't know." ”

"And then? I'm really getting more and more curious about where the story goes. ”

"Later in the race, I gave it my all and won against the big man. The next day, I heard that she broke up with the big man, and it was the boy who dumped her. ”

"Huh?" I was stunned when I heard it, and I felt that this plot had taken a sharp turn: "Didn't that big man like her very much, why did he break up in the end?" ”

Xu Siyang shook his head with a smile, with a bitter taste: "Because of that basketball game." They had a relationship problem at the time, and they had to make a choice between going on or separating. ”

I understood the direction of the plot and followed the line: "So they chose to continue to accept fate, so they found you again?"

Xu Siyang nodded: "That's what it means." In Wang Min's words, fate is a matter of fate. ”

"All of this was told to you by Wang Min later?"

"No," he shook his head slowly, sighing slightly, "The boy told me." ”

"Oh." I nodded, I couldn't tell what was wrong, and I didn't know why it was the way it was.

"After that, I didn't cross paths with her very much. She was preparing for the college entrance examination at the time, and the time was very tight, and I didn't want to play in the winter, so I didn't go out much. ”

"The real intersection is at the New Year's Day party. As a student representative, she was going to perform a piano program, and I was going to play guitar, so we just put our program together. ”

"That's when we slowly communicated more, and we could be considered friends to talk to."

"Then the opportunity came for the New Year's Day party. Maybe it's the effect of the atmosphere, but when I perform next to her on stage, I suddenly feel like she's glowing. At that time, I felt that it was a very happy thing for this girl to be her girlfriend. ”

I tasted a little bit of a love story, and hurriedly continued to sniff: "So you're together?" ”

He shook his head with a smile and took another sip of beer, and I realized that he really didn't eat a single bite except for giving me cloth vegetables.

"I didn't say it. She didn't just ask me what I thought. But it is undeniable that the longer I spend with her, the more sunny and warm my personality slowly becomes. ”

"She taught me a lot. How to look at others with kindness, how to feel the warmth and kindness brought by others, how to release one's friendliness to others, including, how to be a sunny and warm person. ”

That went on until her graduation ceremony on the eve of her graduation. She asked me to look at the stars in the stadium seats, and it pierced my mind at once. ”

I listened to it and my heart was pinched: "Then did she reject you, or did she promise you?" "Okay

She smiled and said nothing. Just to say that if I want to take every day seriously, she will come to see me. ”

I kind of admired this unusual plot, and reasoned with common sense: "Then she is refusal?" ”

"Sort of." Xu Siyang opened the fifth can of beer, and I looked at him worriedly, for fear that he would get drunk, and it would be me who was unlucky enough to carry him back to school in the end.

So I couldn't help but remind: "You drink less, be careful to get drunk." ”

He poured half a jar and shook his head with a smile: "No, my alcohol consumption is even better than yours." ”

I was a little relieved. Seeing him like that, if he wanted to stop him, he swallowed it all and went with him.

He drank from can to can like a drink, his face was as usual, and his mind was clear: "In short, after that, we hardly crossed paths. The only time I crossed paths was when the outstanding graduates returned to school to give speeches, she walked around the playground with me and told me the direction of my future application. ”

"Ironically," he sighed contentedly, as if quenching his thirst, "I didn't pass the exam that year. After repeating my studies for a year, I was admitted to Chongwen. ”

I also felt that it was a bit confusing, so I sighed in my heart and asked wistfully: "Then you didn't contact her in the year you repeated?" ”

"Nope." Xu Siyang denied without hesitation: "That year, I seemed to have completely forgotten this person, and I didn't give myself a chance to think about it, and I deliberately wanted to forget it myself." If it weren't for her appearance in front of me some time ago, I would have almost forgotten that I still knew this person. ”

The self-deprecation, loneliness, helplessness, and frustration in his tone all entered my mind.

How could you forget. I thought to myself, but I was just deceiving myself.

"Actually, I see that she has mixed feelings. When I saw her on the basketball court that day, my own feelings at that time were really indescribable. ”

"I still don't know how I feel about her, not even myself."

"I didn't explain it back then, so I don't even know where to start."

I nodded, understanding his feelings. That kind of feeling of love but can't talk about it, maybe everyone has had it.

It's like a fish bone stuck in the throat all the time, and it takes a lot of effort to get it down, but when you see the fish, the first thing that comes to mind is not the deliciousness of the fish, but how painful and torturous the taste of the fish bone stuck in the throat is.

Thinking of this, I swallowed back the sentence "Then why don't you ask clearly".

What's the use of asking? From the beginning, Xu Siyang was the loser of this game that had nothing to do with love but was in prison, even if he asked clearly, Xu Siyang would have lost it all a long time ago.

Zuo is just to make Xu Siyang sad again, and there will be no other changes.

I looked at Xu Siyang frowning lightly, and I felt that my heart was twisting, and I always felt that such an expression was not suitable for his face.

Thinking of this, I silently put down my chopsticks, picked up the canned beer I had at hand, and clinked glasses with him.

He raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, leaned forward slightly, and touched me gently: "Go you." ”

I snorted and laughed, "Leave you." ”

This time, we all tacitly agreed to take a sip, Xu Siyang threw the empty cans in his hand, opened two more cans, and handed me one can.

I ate pretty much the same, snuggled up in the leather couch with my beer in my hand, squinting and starting to get distracted.

Xu Siyang didn't speak, silently accompanied me out of his mind, picking up a beer and taking a sip from time to time, both of them were like peaceful old ladies.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in my mind, and a question suddenly appeared, so I immediately asked: "Then do you still like Senior Sister Wang Min now?" ”

Xu Siyang immediately squinted his eyes slightly, and slowly shook his head: "I don't know." ”

I glanced at him, "Why?" You don't know how you feel when you see her now and how you feel in high school? ”

He listened, really thought about it seriously, and then slowly shook his head: "I don't know." A lot of things have changed a long time ago, and even I am not the same as before. ”

I lowered my eyes, turned the beer in my hand, didn't know what to say, and finally took a silent sip.

After a while, I asked coldly, "Do you like who you are now?" ”

He was stunned for a second, and some didn't react: "What? Like who I am now? ”

I nodded: "Yes, in other words, don't you regret becoming who you are now?" ”

"Honestly, I don't know." He shook the beer in his hand, as if he were playing with a spear: "But for sure, I accept myself better than before." Now I am a positive person, and that's enough. ”

"That's good." I slowly swallowed the beer in my mouth and seriously suggested, "It's okay if you don't know, I'll leave everything to time." Over time, you will know what you want to know, all the unsolved doubts. ”

He nodded approvingly: "This should be the best way to do it at the moment." ”

I smiled and clinked glasses with him.
