According to He Xiaoyu's plan, I continued to develop slowly as a friend, and continued to strengthen ties after the start of school.

It's quite effective. Soon after the start of school, she and I seemed to be back to our previous state. I was in the quiet dormitory corridor, in the dormitory where she was training at the head office in Nanjing, as if I had returned to my college days.

In this way, I spent another year tormented with missing her, and asked for another invitation again during the summer vacation.

"It's been a busy year, and I'm afraid I don't have as much time as before. Or, you see when I'm free, I usually get off work at 5 o'clock, but I may also wait for the cash truck to come and wait until about half past six to leave, and we will have a simple meal after work. ”

"Where is your unit, or when the time is about right, I'll wait for you."

"It just happens to be the Fengcheng Bank next to Pozi Street, and it just so happens that there are a lot of options to eat."

"Okay."

……

That afternoon, I arrived at the bank before 5 o'clock.

Lin Ximeng at the counter saw that I was here so early, his eyes widened with excitement and excitement, and he came out of the backstage after explaining what to his colleagues.

"Hey, why are you here so early?" She asked, and took me from the hall to the VIP room, "This room happens to be empty at this time, you can sit for a while, I still have some things to do and come to you, soon." ”

She poured me a cup of tea and walked away.

I held this cup of tea and took a sip, it was very sweet. Through the glass window, I could see what she looked like at the counter.

Perhaps because of her makeup, her face has changed back to a white and delicate appearance, and against the backdrop of neat overalls, she looks even more dazzling, which is the woman I know and love the most.

After a while, she ran in again and said happily, "Don't wait for the cash truck to come today, let's go." ”

I was also overjoyed: "Okay, let's go to that time-honored Western restaurant." Have you packed it all? ”

"Hmm!" She answered crisply.

When I was in college, it opened, and it was the one that impressed me the most and the only one in my mind that was perfect for a date. This store is still doing thriving business today, and Lin Ximeng did not propose to go to another store this time.

We found a suitable seat and ordered a snack platter as usual along with a main meal and drink per person. I glanced at the staple she ordered, and this time it was noticeably more appetizing than last year's one.

"How has it been at work this year?" I asked.

"Hey, I'm so tired, it's really counting the money until my hands cramp." She tapped her neck, stuck out her tongue, and said playfully.

"Haha, that's a brilliant description!" I burst out laughing.

"I started counting money when I was training at the head office in Nanjing, and I have been counting until now."

"Isn't there a money detector, why do you have to count manually?"

"It's called professional skills, basic skills, you know, there are special competitions, to see who can count quickly and accurately."

"Then you must be very good!" I quipped.

"No, no, no, I've counted enough." She smiled playfully again, "Well, what's your graduate school life like?" ”

"I took classes for another year, but my main focus was still on working for my tutors and developing software."

"You're really good at developing software!"

"No, no, no, I'm just a diploma. Ha ha! ”

This time, Lin Ximeng gave me a lot of opportunities to talk, and finally didn't make me feel too far away from her, and didn't make me feel bored. And this time, if we're bored, there's no straw to stir, and our drinks can't be stirred.

I could clearly feel the joy that hung between us, it was like a stimulant sprayed in the air, making us more and more excited, more happy and louder the more we talked.

I stared at her for a long time, and she smiled like an innocent child, what a pure, carefree smile it was, and I loved it. I hope she doesn't say the wrong thing this time, so that she doesn't get hurt again, and she doesn't let this smile be swallowed up by sadness.

This time, I don't plan to confess directly, just like He Xiaoyu repeatedly reminded me. This time, I will escort her home and walk with her on the moonlit streets. If the atmosphere is perfect, I can give her an affectionate hug at the end of the day. When she accepted my hug, everything was settled.

As I expected, she agreed to let me escort her home. We each rode our respective battery bikes in the night.

When she came to a high arch bridge, she stopped the car.

"The car has no electricity, and I can't climb uphill." She smiled helplessly and pushed the cart forward.

I also got out of the car and walked side by side with her.

The cool breeze on the bridge makes people feel comfortable, and the sparkling river in the distance seems to beat and blink with the rhythm of the cars around them, interweaving into a song full of tenderness.

I walked slowly with her, and I could feel her breath at every step. I looked at her soft and touching in the moonlight, and said affectionately, "You smile so cutely, you have always liked the way you look." ”

"Haha, in fact, I can see that what you like is just my past me." She smiled soothingly.

I was taken aback, and this sentence hit me to the point.

Maybe that's why I didn't take that step last year. For four years, the same person I had in my head was the same person I had in high school. I have no idea what has changed in the past four years, what she has seen, what she has grown, what she has cultivated...... I don't know anything about her depths for four years.

That's probably why I still don't dare to take that step this year. Even after a year, I still don't know her now, but I still follow her in the past and use that as the motivation for me to love her. It's like I've never experienced it all these years. Time slipped away at my fingertips, and in the end, the person who didn't grow and stayed where he was me!

That day, although Lin Ximeng did not explicitly reject me, I still did not achieve the set goal after all, failed to escort her downstairs, and failed to give that affectionate hug.

"Your house should be east from this intersection." After coming down from the bridge, she said to me.

"Yes."

"I'll go a little south after this intersection, don't bother you, if you go again, you won't be able to stop by."

"It's okay. It's just a little bit, I'll send you downstairs, so I can rest assured. ”

"Not really. I'm safe. Go back early, you'll have a long way to go. ”

"Then send me a message when you get home." At her insistence, I didn't force it anymore.

"Uh-huh."

……

I was embarrassed to tell He Xiaoyu about this, he would definitely scold me again, and laugh at me for not being angry.

"Mao Xiaoer, I finally returned to Fengcheng this summer, do you have time to get together tomorrow?" That night, Song Hongyi unexpectedly took the initiative to contact me.

I felt hope rekindle in front of me. Perhaps, I can find Song Hongyi to relieve the depression in my heart; Perhaps, I can ease the relationship with Lin Ximeng through Song Hongyi.

The next day, Song Hongyi and I still met on Pozi Street and found a bubble tea shop to sit down.

"You're going to be a doctor of medicine for a few years." I said.

"Yes, I envy you for being able to go to work sooner."

"I don't have a job yet, I'm still in graduate school."

"That also worked earlier than me, and I died of envy. Ha ha. ”

In the past few years, I have not had as much contact with Song Hongyi as I did with Lin Ximeng. But as a good brother, he can still stand the test, and this meeting is in full swing.

"By the way, how are you doing with Lin Ximeng?" After talking about their basic situation, Song Hongyi cared about my cat's life.

"Ah, it's still the same." I'll tell you what happened on my date with Lin Ximeng.

"How could you miss such a great opportunity in front of you?" He really reacted like that.

"At least after yesterday's meal, the feelings warmed up again. I'm going to strike while the iron is hot for the next two days and add a handful of oil. ”

"Then you should care more about her."

"I know, I'm going to buy a cup of milk tea and give it to her when she gets off work." I say proudly.

"Nice idea, I'll see the time." Song Hongyi looked down at his phone, "Oh, it's not early, how far do you have to go to where she works?" ”

"I've taken this into account, so let's not be far from her, and she's at the Fengcheng Bank next to it."

"Oh, that's no hurry."

"Yes."

"Have you decided what milk tea to buy?"

"Red bean milk tea. This one she likes to drink. ”

"You're smart, you kid!" Song Hongyi smiled.

"But wouldn't it be too abrupt for me to give her that? Either you go with me, I'll say I'm going to have dinner with you here, and come to see her by the way, we each hold a cup of milk tea, and we also brought her a cup of milk tea, so it's natural. ”

"Uh, forget it, I don't want to go. What do you do with me? I don't want to make light bulbs. Song Hongyi frowned and said, "You have to be brave, you should shoot when you should shoot, what are you cowardly!" ”

"Well, then I can still say that I was having dinner with you here, and I stopped by to see her. If she pursues you later, you will have to help me testify. ”

"You're thinking too much. How could she possibly pursue this with me. ”

"Eh, there's another thing, I don't know if you know?"

"Huh?"

"Do you know Lu Feng's current situation? Is he still in touch with Lin Ximeng? ”

"Lu Feng, he graduated and also works in Fengcheng. He also had a cup of afternoon tea with Lin Ximeng and me a few days ago. ”

"I still suspect that Lu Feng likes Lin Ximeng, he is chasing Lin Ximeng."

"You are too sensitive, according to my observations, you can rest assured, they are just ordinary friends, and it is impossible for Lu Feng to like Lin Ximeng."

I didn't refute him, he should have been right about Lu Feng all along, I have the right to respect his point of view, but I also reserve my opinion. As a cat, my keen intuition tells me that Lu Feng is chasing Lin Ximeng, and I am convinced of this.

That night, I tried to escort her home after the milk tea, and this time I was able to create a more perfect opportunity to bravely make that affectionate hug. As a result, she didn't give me the opportunity to escort her home, but she finally accepted the milk tea I gave her and happily said thank you.

On the third day, I decided to continue to work hard, maybe as long as I keep doing this, she will be able to be impressed by my sincerity. So I bought two cups of milk tea again, one for mine and one for hers, and waited at the place where she got off work to get her car. She still rejected me.

"What are you doing here? You don't have to come every day! On the fourth day, she angrily told me that even the milk tea refused at the same time. I watched her back as she drove away, standing like a stone lion at the door of the bank.

That night, I received a text message from her, with a clear line on it: "Maybe my performance misunderstood you, we can only be friends." ”

I try not to let the tears flow, I try to keep my smile from the bottom of my heart. Isn't that exactly what I've always wanted to have a clear relationship? Now that the relationship is finally clear, I should be happy! I finally don't have to be torn back and forth by the pain and expectation brought by that ambiguity, I should be happy! She said that she could still treat me as a friend, and that I could get a friend forever, and that I should be happy!

Hahahaha! Hahahaha!

But why is that?

It has been eight years since I began to pursue my dream of Linxi when I graduated from junior high school. In the end, it was like a dream, and nothing was gained.

Eight years! What a familiar number. Isn't it eight years from the second grade of elementary school to the graduation of junior high school? That was the day when I worked hard to pursue Yan Jinfeng!

Hahahaha!

It seems that this is fate!

Lin Ximeng and Yan Jinfeng, the two names that have the same tone and rhyme, even my years from the beginning to the end are so consistent, and they will eventually be scattered together in the long river of time!

Forget it, Lin Ximeng, then that's it, follow your path "Keep walking, don't look back, don't care how heartbroken I am, go find your sky." "You deserve true happiness!" And for me, "I would be in a daze, then smile slightly, and then close my eyes tightly." Think again, your gentle face, before I forgot you. "We" grew up together, so sincerely, and you can't talk endlessly. And I can't tell if you're a friendship or a missed love. "I will" let all the grief end at this moment and start living again! ”

I transformed into a cat, climbed over the wall, and walked away to the bright moon in the sky.
