No longer friends......
Time passed day by day in the stalemate between me and Zhou Jieyi, and the weather became colder and colder.
It's probably winter, and even the hot air coming out of my mouth can instantly condense into a white mist.
In the past, every time this time, Zhou Jieyi's guy would always be around me, telling me to add more clothes, nagging me that I can't drink iced milk tea, which is even more thoughtful than my mother. But at that time, I didn't seem to know how to appreciate it, and I always disliked his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and I was very annoyed. Every time he nagged in my ear again, I would push him away and jokingly punch him several times. But he never got angry at all, and he would still be happy to bring me a coat and fetch me hot water.
Every winter in the school, there are his advice and protection. His presence also seems to make the winter less cold and the cold wind less biting. But I've never cared about it, I've always disagreed with it and taken it for granted.
But this year's winter seems to be much colder and colder than ever. Although the cold wave has not yet come, the cold wind has not yet risen. But I already felt extremely cold, as if it had snowed in my heart in advance, and the white snow was piled up all over my heart, covering the fiery red that belonged to me, leaving only a monotonous cold white. The heart also seemed to be frostbitten, losing its former cheerfulness and pleasure between beats, and now it was only mechanically transmitting numbness to all parts of the body.
There was no familiar voice in my ears reminding me to add more clothes. The thermos that had always been there in front of the table was now devoid of hot water, only a cold bottle remained.
I looked at the lonely thermos, a little lonely. I sucked the snot in my nose and lay on the table with some grievances. I closed my eyes, not too much to pay attention to the distractions, not to face the worries.
I held a tissue in my hand and wiped it back and forth in front of my nose until my nose was red, until my nose was bruised, and my nasal cavity was still blocked by some foreign object, and I couldn't breathe.
"Mengjin, what are you doing?"
Zihui walked over, she raised her knees, and smacked mine.
"It's nothing, I'm sad for this world, don't bother me if you're okay!"
I pulled back the knee that was holding her, put my feet on the railing in front of the chair, and shrunk my body.
"You said that Zhou Jieyi and Yu Wei want you to choose, who do you choose?"
Zihui bent over and leaned over to me.
"What kind of are you talking about?"
I wiped my nose and turned to look at her. Maybe because I was too tired, my eyes were a little swollen and I couldn't open them. The nasal voice of the speech is also a little heavy, and the words are not so clear.
"Well, forget it, I'll be honest with you. Jieyi Zhou and Yu Wei both like you, you know? ”
"Huh? This...... How is this possible. Yu Wei: Does he like me? ”
My mouth was wide open in shock, and the tissue slipped out of my hand and fell to the ground, rolling in a few circles. I looked at Zihui incredulously, but there was no trace of joking on her face.
"That's right, he and Zhou Jieyi have been fighting secretly behind your back for a long time!"
Zihui leaned over and squeezed her ass, snatched half of my chair, and sat down with me.
She coughed dryly, cleared her throat, and prepared to talk to me about something big.
"It was when they had dinner together after the last basketball game of Zhou Jieyi, and the two of them tore their faces. Before you arrived, the two of them almost got into a fight. It's a good thing you came in time, otherwise you would have died later. ”
"Then why did you tell me earlier!"
I looked at Zihui with some anger, and the mucus in my nose flowed out again.
"Zhou Jieyi threatened me not to let me say it! I thought you could guess, who knew you were so good at studying and so stupid at these things! ”
Zihui propped her hands on the table, supported her cheeks with her hands, and rolled her eyes as she spoke.
"Then why are you telling me this again?"
"Because...... emmmmm because ......"
Zihui was hesitant, as if she didn't know how to say it.
"Why! Say it, you. ”
"Oh, that's it, Zhou Jieyi and Yu Wei fought again this morning, and now they are both in the teacher's office, I heard that Zhou Jieyi's mother is here, and I don't know if it's because of this."
"Meng Zihui, sooner or later I will be killed by you."
I angrily slapped the table and quickly got up from my chair. My nose was already stuffed with foreign bodies, and I couldn't breathe, and I didn't have time to pay attention to it. I gasped with my mouth slightly open and ran towards the office.
"Lin Mengjin, the teachers and parents are here, don't go over and make trouble."
Zihui shouted at me from behind, but I didn't hear anything. The legs and feet kept running forward uncontrollably.
Of course, I'm not trying to cause trouble, I just want to see what is going on, to see for myself, so that at least I can feel a little more at ease.
The door of the office was already full of students watching the excitement, and they were all pulling at the door, poking their heads in, and talking to each other all the time.
I scrambled through the crowd and was on the front line at the office door. But before I could peep in, someone came out of the office.
It was a middle-aged woman, she was wearing a modified tight-fitting cheongsam, the cheongsam was printed with plum pink peony flowers, shoulder-length short hair with big wavy curls, on the pointed chin, the sexy red lips seemed to be shining, and the shape of the lip peaks and lip beads was just right, which was also a little similar to Zhou Jieyi's lip competition. She has a few wrinkles carved under the corners of her eyes, and she is probably a person who loves to laugh. But the wrinkles did not affect her elegant temperament in the slightest, but added some sense of maturity to her experience.
She glanced at me as she passed by the door. I don't know what happened in the office just now, her eyes were a little red, and there seemed to be tears, but what was in her eyes was by no means weak, but a kind of toughness with some sharpness and refusal to admit defeat.
She hadn't taken a few steps forward before she stepped back and stood in front of me, looking at me for a moment.
"Are you Lin Mengjin?"
Her voice was not as gentle as that of a woman, but more cold, and there was no excessive expression on her face except for her eyes, which were still a little red and swollen.
"Yes...... yes, Auntie. ”
I froze in place, a little dazed.
But the aunt didn't explain anything more, and suddenly waved her hand high, and pulled it down my cheek, and then broke down and cried bitterly with her mouth covered.
I covered the left side of my face, as if there was no sensation in my face anymore, and there was only a burning pain. My cheeks and eyes turned red instantly, and tears poured out, but the warm tears flowed down my cheeks without taking away the slightest pain.
I looked at the woman in front of me with great anger and bewilderment, and my head was filled with pain for a moment, and I didn't know what to say.
She couldn't stop crying in front of me, and the eyeshadow and blush on her face were blurred with tears, dripping everywhere.
The surrounding classmates, in a group, quietly watched the farce in front of them, perhaps shocked, their eyes widened, and no one was talking.
"Did you ask Zhou Jieyi to change his volunteer, do you know what a good opportunity he lost, these opportunities may be gone in the future, why are you so ruthless?"
The aunt covered her mouth with one hand and pointed at me with the other and cursed, the tears in the corners of her eyes still kept flowing, and the crying made her scolding more and more chaotic, but she still didn't stop.
I froze in place, it all came so suddenly, so suddenly I didn't know how to respond.
The classmates around me suddenly started talking, and they all seemed to point at me, secretly scolding these things, and their eyes were full of disdain and disgust.
"Mom, Mom, what are you doing, go back quickly!"
Zhou Jieyi only came out of the office at this time, and he hurriedly pushed his mother away, as if he was going to take his mother downstairs.
"Go back to what to go back to, you're like this, how can I go back?"
Zhou Jieyi's mother has been fighting with him and is reluctant to leave. His finger kept pointing at me, scolding and swearing. It wasn't until Zhou Jieyi stretched and dragged her hard that he took her downstairs.
But even though my aunt is gone, the sound of pointing at me has not stopped. The classmates around me hadn't dispersed yet, they were far away from me, but the fingers accusing me were very close, and the scolding seemed to be in my ears.
I couldn't stand all this, so I covered my face and turned around and ran away.
The cold wind seemed to have blown, and it hurt even more in my cheeks, as if it had cracked the pain. Tears and snot slipped uncontrollably, and I sobbed and choked in the hallway.
I ran into the stairwell in the side building and hid. I don't want to go out and face anybody.
I curled up on the steps of the stairs, sobbing secretly. But the sobs are getting louder and louder.
I clutched my face, snot and tears already melted together. I kept sobbing until my hands and feet went numb, until I couldn't breathe, until I couldn't see clearly, but I still couldn't control myself.
The iron door of the stairwell was suddenly opened, and Zhou Jieyi walked in cautiously and tentatively.
"Little Trumpet, are you alright?"
He walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder as he had done before.
"Apply it to your face, or it will be red and swollen."
He handed him a block of ice, but I ignored him.
"You ignore what my mom says, she's like that. She and my dad divorced when I was very young, so she was very demanding of me and expected a lot, and she would be angry if I didn't fit her plans at all, but not for long! ”
"Then why did you delete your volunteer?"
I lowered my hand that was covering my face, revealing those red, swollen eyes. I stared at him aggrieved and angry, but I kept sobbing.
The corners of his eyes were a little blue and swollen, and there were some wounds on his forehead, presumably from a fight in the morning, but he didn't seem to have dealt with it yet.
"Because I don't want to be arranged by her all the time! I have my own thoughts, I don't want to go to those schools at all, I just want to ...... with you."
Before he could finish, I got up angrily. Fingers stiffly slapped away the ice cube he was holding. The ice fell to the ground and shattered in an instant, and sharp and crystalline ice slag covered every step.
"Do you know you're naïve like this? Why are you doing this? ”
I stiffly stretched out my finger and scolded him, and the tears that had been dried up with great difficulty were soaked with tears again. Even the shredded hair on his sideburns was soaked with tears.
Zhou Jieyi sat stiffly on the steps, motionless. He just looked at me quietly, and there seemed to be a lot of disappointment and helplessness in his eyes.
"yes, I'm just naïve, what's wrong? I was so naïve that I wanted to go to the same university as you, and I was so naïve to change my mind. But what I do is my own business, not yours. ”
His tone was flat, with no ups and downs. But every word of these words pierced my heart like a knife.
His eyes and nose were a little red, and he clenched his teeth as if he was holding on to something.
"Lin Mengjin, I thought you understood me very well."
"That's just what you think."
I looked at him quietly, and at that moment, I saw in his eyes something I had never seen before, a kind of weakness, a helpless weakness.
"We ...... Let's break up! ”
I reached out and wiped my tears and snot from my nose and sucked hard. As if he was strong, he calmly shook off the knife-like words.
I didn't say a word to him or look at him again. I pulled open the iron door of the stairwell and walked out, leaving him alone.
The iron door was so handsome that I babbled, until finally there was no sound, it was completely closed, and Zhou Jieyi did not chase it out.
I stood outside the iron gate, stiff and weak, and I slumped against the iron door. The cold iron piece seeped into my skin through the clothes, but my body was much cooler than this iron sheet.
I was on the iron gate, and I was slumped for a long, long time, but he never came out.
Through the iron door, I vaguely heard him sobbing............
