11. Holding hands
The new semester is still moving forward rapidly with one exam after another.
My uncle's small restaurant became a big restaurant, and my aunt joined the busy bandwagon.
Bean Sprouts said that youth is incomplete without early love, and she must have a pure love before going to college. So from the day of school, she asked me to write love letters for her every once in a while, and each time the object was different and of different types. I laughed at her for being a "big carrot" and at the same time admired her bravery.
An Luo still helped me tutor and study, but the location became Su Mu's house, and he and Su Mu helped me tutor together. That semester, I often stayed at Su Mu's house on weekends. It was a little embarrassing at first, but Su Mu would call several classmates to go to her house every time, and gradually everyone got acquainted and became a fight.
Maintaining this kind of friendship made me habitually retreat to the position of friends between An Luo and Su Mu. I watched them get closer and closer, tormenting myself.
If you ask me why I do this, I can't find any excuse other than low self-esteem.
In real life, the prince should be with the princess, they are born with a halo, and they are so dazzling when they stand together. And Cinderella, who lives in the dark, tries to smile and exhausts all optimism, and she does not have the courage to wear a gorgeous crystal slipper.
At the end of May at the end of the monthly exam, and at the beginning of June, when I could finally breathe a sigh of relief, Anluo asked me to go hiking. He said that he wanted to draw a picture with the theme of "Father's Love is Like a Mountain" and give it to his father on Father's Day. He also remembered a proposal I had made unintentionally.
Climb to the top of the mountain on Sunday morning and draw at sunrise. The wind in the early morning of June is just right, the green leaves are swaying just right, and the dew-moist little wildflowers are smiling.
I like to watch him paint quietly, as if time is still, as if there is eternity in life.
I don't know when Anlo put away his sketchpad, but I was already asleep in the shade of a tree when the sun started to rise. When I woke up, Anluo was already sitting beside me and waiting for me.
"You're done," I woke up with my eyes rubbing.
"Hmm"
"I'm sorry, I'm a little sleepy when I woke up too early."
"Let's go, it looks like there will be showers"
After An Luo finished speaking, I looked up at the sky that was originally shining with bright sun, and dark clouds gathered.
"Then let's go, wait and don't get wet." I quickly got up and said.
Sure enough, after not taking a few steps, there was a sudden storm. An Luo took off his coat and protected his school bag. I also took off my coat and protected his bag with him.
The mountains in the city are not too high and not too rugged, but the road washed by the rain is still slippery. An Luo squatted down and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
I quickly got up and spun around: "It's okay, I accidentally slipped a foot, you see, it's all intact." ”
An Luo didn't speak, holding the schoolbag on his chest with one hand, holding me with the other, when he stretched out his hand, it was like thunder and lightning hit his heart, and the whole person was numb, and I was pulled by him and ran forward.
When I ran down, I saw Su Mu, and I shook off his hand in a panic. Su Mu handed us the umbrella and said: "I saw that Chu Chu posted a sunrise photo in the space, and I thought you should be here, but I just saw the weather forecast saying that there was a shower and came to wait for you, I'm afraid you didn't bring an umbrella." ”
"Thank you" I was a little embarrassed and didn't know what expression to put on to face it, Su Mu must have seen that we were holding hands just now. When I was worried that I didn't know how to explain to Su Mu, An Luo left with his schoolbag, he didn't take Su Mu's umbrella, got into the taxi waiting on the side of the road and left.
Did he get angry because I let go of his hand?
However, I didn't have time to think about it, and I was ashamed that the thief who was about to steal something was bumped into. Instinctively let go of the thing that shouldn't be peeped at.
If I had known that I was still running by his hand after I knew that I was on the road of life, I would never have thrown off his hand at the beginning.
