One day on a summer weekend, Song Hongyi came to my house as a guest.

We played computer games all afternoon, and when we were about to part, we found that it was really dark outside, the sky was full of dark clouds, and rolling thunder could be heard at any time

Song Hongyi came by bicycle, and it was sunny when he came, so he didn't think to bring rain gear at all. Seeing that heavy rain will fall at any time on this day, if you rush home, you will be caught by the rain on the way. So he decided to stay at my house a little longer until the rainstorm had passed.

The computer was tired of playing, so we sat down on the couch and talked about some things.

Song Hongyi sighed and sighed again: "Why are you always so popular with girls?" ”

"Hehe, I don't know. You don't have to keep asking this question, I really can't help you with this question. ”

"Haha, do you remember?".

"You've asked me a third time!" I smiled wryly.

"Not about that. I mean, do you remember? That time, the school organized a movie trip to the cinema. ”

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"You helped you deliver snacks to Yan Jinfeng at that time."

"This matter, as soon as I entered the movie theater, I saw the position of Class 7 and saw Yan Jinfeng already sitting there. I brought a bag of Want Want snow cakes that day, and I gave them to you, remember? ”

"Remember, then you took a pack and asked Xiaomei to send it to Yan Jinfeng for you."

"Yes. Xiaomei came back to tell me that Yan Jinfeng had eaten deliciously, and I felt very happy at that time. ”

"Xiaomei, why is she willing to help you, I don't want to ask her for a little help."

"Who told you to bully people in the first place?"

"It's fun to see her."

"You don't like people, do you?" I threw a treacherous look.

"Why, who likes that peeling."

Song Hongyi insisted on refusing to admit it, but his expression had betrayed him entirely. I always suspected that he liked Xiaomei, and now, I'm more confident in that.

As he was talking, it was pouring rain outside, and it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.

"Wow! Fortunately, I didn't leave in a hurry, I was drenched to death this day! Song Hongyi said.

"You were prescient!"

"Hey! In other words, I envy Ah Ghost and Xiaoyuan, they both have so good grades and have such a close relationship, no one has gossiped about them, no one has teased them, as if they are a couple by default. Song Hongyi continued to sigh.

"yes, I'm pretty envious of them, too. How the hell did they get along so well? ”

"I don't know the details, but the two of them just like each other."

"I want to know how Ah Ghost attracted Xiaoyuan, I want to learn from it." As I spoke, I remembered Lin Ximeng. She and Xiaoyuan are both representatives of the Chinese class, and I am the first person who has taken the test with Ah Ghost, so there are some similarities.

"What, you want to learn to attract Yan Jinfeng?" Song Hongyi teased me.

"Sort of." I haven't told him yet, in fact, I don't bother with Yan Jinfeng's problem anymore.

"Hey! In contrast, I am deeply persecuted by gossip, and the scandal between me and Xiaomei has been spread from the first day of junior high school to the present, which makes me embarrassed every time I am in front of Xiaomei, and Xiaomei doesn't give me a good face every time. ”

"Then what is your attitude towards Xiaomei?" I threw a treacherous look again.

"Ordinary classmates, how can you have any attitude?"

"Blow it, your words and expressions have betrayed you, so you can be honest."

Song Hongyi lowered his head and thought.

The dense rain beat the world tirelessly, and the sound was as deep and thick as a symphony, and my heart felt as calm as water. In such an atmosphere, it is the best place to express your sincerity. I was looking forward to the moment when Song Hongyi spoke.

Song Hongyi finally raised his head and looked at me and said, "Well, for the sake of you being my best friend, I'll be honest, you must keep it a secret." ”

"Well, you name it."

He breathed a sigh of relief, looked out the window, and said, "I really have a little feeling for her, I once gave her a teddy bear in private, and it was sincere, but unfortunately she refused." But I don't care, I'm not as crazy as you are with Yan Jinfeng. ”

"Haha, I didn't expect that the scandal between the two of you is really not wronged, you have taken action! However, for the sake of you being my best friend, I will also tell you one thing: for a long time, my obsession with Yan Jinfeng was actually pretended. ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Song Hongyi looked at me in a daze, like looking at a stranger.

Rainwater poured down the eaves, creating a crystalline curtain outside the window, separating the people inside from the outside world. The sound of the rain is still so pleasant, such as the chanting sound from the Lingshan Daxiong Treasure Hall, which contains the power of purification, purifies the turbidity between the world outside the house, and also purifies the hearts of the two people in the house, opens our hearts, and makes all the secrets buried in our hearts flow out.

"I actually didn't like Yan Jinfeng for a long time. I always pretended to like her, but in fact I wanted to protect myself. Keep yourself from being affected by scandals. ”

"Huh?"

"Scandals make you feel as if as long as you are close to any girl, you must have bad intentions, be despised by your classmates, and suppressed by your teachers, making you feel that you have been labeled as 'puppy love' and become an outlier among students, which really hurts your self-esteem. You must have experienced this feeling. ”

"Yes, indeed."

"The more people are concerned by everyone, the more they pay attention to their own image, and the more they can't stand the scandal's slander of their personality. Since elementary school, I have suffered greatly from it, which is also the reason for the estrangement between me and Yan Jinfeng. If it weren't for the scandals spread everywhere, I might have flown with Yan Jinfeng a long time ago. ”

"I see. Then the situation between you and Yan Jinfeng is really similar to that between me and Xiaomei. ”

"Hey! Is it wrong to approach someone you like? Is it wrong to like someone? Why did you come up with the concept of 'puppy love' to hit me? It makes me feel like I've made a serious mistake, it makes me feel like a sinner, it makes me an outlier. My classmates were able to make fun of me. If teachers and parents know about it, it will be even more devastating! ”

"Have you ever been suppressed?"

I looked at Song Hongyi, and I didn't want to recall the events of that day, but I still said: "You may not believe it when you say it, it was in kindergarten." ”

"So early!"

"Hey! Feelings are something that people yearn for, why should I be ridiculed and suppressed because I was in contact with it early. Those who laugh at us are not afraid to think or do it, they are just jealous of us. Besides, the elders are afraid that 'early love' will affect their studies or something, and I think this is simply nonsense. You see that Ah Ghost and Xiao Yuan have such a good relationship, and their grades have not always been among the best. ”

"Haha, yes. There are many factors that affect learning, so why should the responsibility be attributed to 'puppy love'? ”

"Actually, 'early love' can also improve academic performance, not only look at Ah Ghost and Xiaoyuan, just take myself as an example, a large part of my motivation for learning comes from Yan Jinfeng. Once, when I was in trouble, I would think of her, and I never gave up in order to impress her. Having someone in my heart who cares about is more often a spiritual pillar that can help me grow, help me constantly improve myself, and help me persevere towards my goals. It should not be seen as a distraction. ”

"Oh? So Yan Jinfeng is still very important to you? ”

"It was when I was in elementary school, and the current Yan Jinfeng is not worthy of being my spiritual pillar at all. How many people fell under her pomegranate skirt and fell into the emotional quagmire she bringed. Thankfully, I've crawled out now, and looking back at the mire and the people still trapped in it, I have nothing but hatred. ”

"Hate?"

"I used to say that if you meet a beautiful woman, you have to start early, and I am very honored to get a big beauty like Yan Jinfeng so early, even if I win at the starting line in this life. Now I'm going to use my personal experience to advise you, it's really useless to be beautiful, those beautiful guys are not good, they are all ** in their bones, I hate this kind of people, you must not be fooled by them. But Xiaomei is okay, she shouldn't be this kind of person. ”

"Uh, do you think she's not good-looking?"

"Do you think she's as beautiful as Yan Jinfeng?"

"Well, it's really not as beautiful as Jinfeng."

"That's right, so we must not believe people like Yan Jinfeng, they are absolutely unreliable. Now I have another spiritual pillar in my heart, which is much more reliable. ”

"Oh? Who is it? Song Hongyi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he sat up straight and prepared to receive the heavy news from me.

"Guess!" I proudly sold Guanzi.

"I really don't see who you like in love?" Song Hongyi racked his brains and thought: "Xiaomei? ”

"What are you guessing about? A friend's wife can't be bullied, how can I rob you. ”

"That's Xiao Yu?"

"It's not."

"Xiaojie?"

“No！”

Song Hongyi said several names one after another, and the more I said it, the more angry I became, he would actually pull me and these girls together.

But on the other hand, looking at Song Hongyi, who was at a loss, I felt that I was perfectly hidden, and I didn't even see my best friend, and I couldn't help but rejoice in my heart: "In this way, I'll show you a picture of her appearance I drew to see if you can identify it." ”

I pulled out a crude portrait from my locker. It was painted after I fell in love with Lin Ximeng that night, so that I could see her a few more times every day.

Song Hongyi looked at the pencil sketch of the portrait, and after thinking about it, he barely popped out a name from his mouth: "Xiaoyuan? ”

I was proud of my painting level a second ago, but now I was suddenly so spewed out of lunch by Song Hongyi's words. My painstaking work was despised like this, and my face sank suddenly:

"Huh? How do you think it's Xiaoyuan? Xiao Yuan has a long face, and the painting is obviously a round face. Besides, everyone knows that Xiaoyuan is a ghost, how can I beat her idea! ”

"I can't guess who this is."

"Is it that hard to identify?" I took the portrait from Song Hongyi's hand and looked at it carefully, what did the painting look like?

"Forget it, I'll remind you, you guessed half right just now, because the person in the picture is indeed the representative of the language class." I said helplessly.

"Lin Ximeng?"

"Exactly!"

"It looks a little like that." Song Hongyi took the portrait again and suddenly realized, but he still felt incredible, "How can you like her?" There's no sign between you and her. Well, she's kind, though. ”

"Hey, I'm hiding it!" Chen Sifan became proud again, took the portrait from Song Hongyi's hand, and put it back in its place.

"And when did you start liking her?"

"Actually, I think it was like she liked me first."

"Oh?"

"I often see her looking at me, and her bike is often parked next to mine."

"In my opinion, these may also be coincidences."

"If this is not reliable evidence, then that time I took the first grade exam, and you asked me to treat me, it should be obvious that she gave a small report to the teacher."

"Well, it shows that she cares about you. But are you sure she reported to the teacher? ”

"Well, it's just rumors, but it should be true. Anyway, from then on, I was even more convinced that she liked me. ”

"And then you like her?"

"Not yet, I just pay attention to her, but I still like Yan Jinfeng. When I first thought she liked me, I didn't want to be liked by her. I kept telling myself that I only liked Yan Jinfeng, and then I always resisted the touch every time I saw Lin Ximeng. But I don't know how people's hearts grow, sometimes the more you reject something, the more you will be attracted to something, I don't know when I started, I actually found myself in love with Lin Ximeng, it's really strange. ”

"And now?"

"Yan Jinfeng, Lin Ximeng, the tone is so consistent when you read it. On one side is the fire that hurts me again and again, and on the other side is the hot spring that soothes my wounds again and again. It's better to accept someone who likes me than someone I like, don't you think? ”

"Hmm."

"Although Lin Ximeng looks average, I see that she is extremely beautiful in the depths of her heart. I used to be crazy about external beauty, but now I feel that only inner beauty is the most important thing, and that is really worth pursuing. ”

"Haha! I'm optimistic about you, come on! ”

"Haha, you have to do it too!"

We chatted very devotedly, and when we came back to our senses, we found that the storm outside had stopped for a long time, and it was indeed very late.

As best friends, we kept each other's promises, kept the secret as promised, and the order in the school was as normal as nothing happened.
