Chapter 2 Memories of Lu Zhiyu
I was woken up almost at the same time as my phone rang, but my body was so heavy that I couldn't move. I tried to ignore the other party on the other end of the phone and was not in the mood to talk to him at the moment, but after a minute of confrontation between the two sides, the other end was hung up, and the piercing and outrageous ringing continued to ring stubbornly almost the next second.
I let out a venomous roar from the bottom of my throat that resembled the wrath of a wild beast, and the impatience in my heart was gradually replaced by fear and panic—there was only one person I knew who had been hung up and could be dialed back at such an astonishing rate.
The nerves still seemed numb, and I used my hands that had not yet fully regained consciousness to explore as far as I could reach on the bed. My hearing was urged to normal by the ultra-high decibel bell, and I struggled to roll to the side of the bed. Sure enough, I saw a dazzling mobile phone screen on the ground. I squinted my eyes desperately to adjust the focus of my retina, and finally saw the incoming call message clearly
- Sure enough, it was her.
"Hey—" I pressed the speakerphone, and quickly withdrew my finger like a cockroach. Shui Qing ......"
"I said, sister, where are you! Why did you answer the phone at this time? "There was a super high-pitched female voice on the other end of the phone that was even more pitched than the ringtone of the call just now, and I couldn't cover my ears in time, and my facial features wrinkled in pain." It doesn't matter if you don't answer the phone, you don't look at what time it is! The big guys are waiting for you here, what's the matter! ”
"What..."Before he could organize the words and ask clearly, his mind had already remembered everything.
"What, what! You're still asking me! "In the midst of her waves, I covered my ears in remorse and glanced at the clock—10:17. Sure enough, I overslept......
"Go see the meteorite! You're almost half an hour late! ”
One of them rolled out of bed, and I didn't feel tired anymore. In the midst of Shui Qing's incessant scolding, I apologized in a soft tone, and at the same time grabbed a pair of pants from the hanger and kicked in with difficulty.
"Xiaoli has shouted five times that she is hungry... He doesn't care, you say you let the guests wait...... "Shui Qing on the other end of the phone hasn't stopped, even if the phone is in the bedroom, I can still hear the words clearly in the bathroom. "Say it's ten o'clock, you're really off the chain......"
"You tell everyone not to worry, I'm sure I'll be at the school gate in half a minute." I suppressed the curiosity in my heart about the identity of the guest in Shui Qing's mouth, turned around and took the phone and lowered my voice. "Isn't there a snack there in Jinbi, you let Xiaoli cushion first."
"When is it all about you, you still care about him, dress up yourself first." Shui Qing's voice finally softened a little, "If it was usual, just a few of us would be with you, Lian Gui Hotaru, you have to pay attention to my image today." It doesn't matter if you pick up a little more, don't mess around and come over to me..."
"What the hell are you talking about...", I asked as I tied my hair and brushed the shaggy shredded hair on my forehead, "how can I be in the mood to dress up now......
"I know, dear, I know you were dumped by that scumbag-" Shui Qing slowed her tone in time before I yelled at her, "-and broke up with him. But it's because you don't have him that you should try to live your life. Of course, I'm doing my best to help my good sister, so that's why I've got you covered today... Ah, then I won't tell you that one for now, anyway, hurry up... Ah no, take your time... But don't be too slow - anyway... Get your best! Hello to a day full of energy! Liangui Hotaru, you are the best, come on, come on, we are waiting for you! ”
In my confused questioning, there was already an even and annoying beep on the other end of the phone.
It's not an uncommon thing, every time Shui Qing fights some kind of ghost idea behind my back, he can always do it so that he won't be caught by me. Although she usually has a big mouth and gossip, when she "tries her best to help her good sisters", she always plans carefully and meticulously, and her words are not leaky. And then at the moment of realizing the plan, it is either hateful and laughing, or it scorches people on the outside and on the inside.
The most memorable of these plans was in her freshman year, when she introduced Chu He to the art academy flower she didn't know how to meet, and did everything possible to trick Chu He into a café, wanting to arrange a romantic encounter like a chance encounter between the two of them. As a result, Chu He, who was ignorant of the world, not only did not wait for the legendary courtyard flower, but also attracted the joint strangulation of all the female friends of the courtyard flower.
In the end, Shui Qing, who was unable to control the situation alone, finally raised the white flag and called Zhuo Ying, Jinbi and me for help in a panic. When we arrived in a hurry, poor Chu He's always handsome and cold face, as if a girl from a good family had been tarnished by a group of big men in turn, and the expression of lovelessness was really unforgettable.
For single friends like Chu He, Jin Bi, Zhuo Ying and Xiao Li, Shui Qing's thoughtful care is undoubtedly moving. But for me, who has long been in love, she has never let go for a moment.
For example, change the password of my phone and his phone to the other person's birthday. As a result, Zhuo Ying, who is upright by nature and unaware, regarded it as a criminal offense when he noticed that the mobile phone was abnormal, and the school police were alarmed.
He also forced me to knit a scarf for him at Christmas, bought a bedroom with colorful wool, and finally caused Jinbi to have an asthma attack and go to the emergency room...... I'm even a little glad that with the help of Shui Qing's enthusiasm, he and I can still hold hands for a whole year...... It's a miracle.
It is undeniable that I have not completely forgotten Lu Zhiyu in my heart. Or, to put it bluntly, you can't forget the slightest thing.
After all, it was the happiest time of my life in 20 years, and I once decided that I wanted to hold my hands to the earth. It's not because he has passed the tests of Ms. Pei Shuiqing, a certified matchmaker, but because he made me really experience the taste of love.
It was a feeling I had never felt before in my years of ignorance. The warmth of being down-to-earth and never cooling, the sweetness of indulgence but fearlessness, the provocative balance between giving and giving, and the ambiguity born of the collision of domineering and conquest...... Fate is given by God, and I still can't explain where our acquaintance began a year ago, and I can't even remember what it was like on the day we met......
It seems to be just a dull autumn day, a hurried walk under the boulevard for a very ordinary rubbing shoulders, and the autumn breeze brushes the sideburns for a normal look. After that, everything after the four eyes met had nothing to do with the ordinary. Everything was so in order - he just appeared, abruptly but just right in my otherwise ordinary life.
I never doubted it once, and I deserved to enjoy every unparalleled love experience he brought me. I just didn't expect that among these countless firsts, there would be this first painful breakup.
It's more appropriate to be dumped than a breakup. I have never been a greedy person, and I can accept that this beautiful love has its short term. What really struck me was that it disappeared like it came, without warning or for a reason. A cold text message, an ominous premonition for no reason, a concise and concise notice of studying abroad, and an international flight ticket without temperature......
It took less than a week from the time I learned that he was leaving to the time he was completely withdrawn from my life. But I had a full month to digest what had happened in the week.
For a month, I reminisced over and over again the bits and pieces of the year. What I can't figure out is not studying abroad, not breaking up - after all, if I am as good as him, I can't grasp it and don't deserve it. What really puzzles me is why a person's attitude can change from hot to cold in an instant. Could it be that his feelings for me were originally so fragile and nihilistic?
It doesn't make sense... I am his lover, I have personally felt all his love for me, so real, so fiery feelings, how can in just one week, lose all their original temperature......
Suddenly detached from my thoughts, I looked distracted at the empty home—the house I shared with him near the school, and I hadn't seen a moment of silence since I moved in. There are more than a dozen cans of beer left over from last night, and if he were there, he would have cleaned up the house before I woke up the next day, and then set up my favorite fritters and soy milk on the table.
On weekends, friends come to the house for dinner. After dinner, Jinbi, Shui Qing and I hid in the bedroom, Jinbi locked the door, and everyone listened to Shui Qing's gossip about all the handsome guys and beauties she had met in the past week. And Chu He, Xiaoli, Zhuo Ying and him will stay in the living room, playing movies and drinking beer, and the two boys and Zhuo Ying will exchange topics that Xiaoli will never understand, at this time, we will pull Xiaoli into the room and force him to help us choose clothes and lipsticks that are difficult to choose from the eyes of boys......
Those days, it was really good.
Is it because it's too good? Time flies. It seems like a long, long time ago that I have such a beautiful memory......
I shook my head a little annoyed, forcing myself to stop thinking about his days. I hadn't lost my friends, who were waiting for me at the school gate, and we had made an appointment to go to the outskirts of town to survey the meteorite that fell last month.
That's right, I still have them.
Thinking of this, I can't help but lift my spirits. I walked over to the mirror and looked at myself – my hair was tied up in a ponytail, my skin was a little rough from hangovers and irregular diets, my bags were slightly swollen, and my clothes that hadn't been washed in a long time were wrinkled...... But I don't have time to take care of it, everyone has been waiting for a long time, and they actually never care about my dressing, as for the "guest" in Shui Qing's mouth, I am not in the mood to socialize at the moment.
After checking the water and electricity, I went out and rushed to everyone at the school gate.
