Chapter Seventy-Four: Those Friendships That Return to Peace

A few days later, the students in the third year of high school organized a party, had a lunch party, and then went to KTV together.

I came to the restaurant very early. This is a well-known barbecue restaurant, and the private room we booked is bright and spacious, with a long square table in the middle, and the seats are arranged around the square table, like the style of a formal European banquet.

When I arrived, Qiao Qiao was already there, and the dark green dress she was wearing today made her petite and cute, tall and mature, and her whole temperament was enhanced a lot.

"Hey, Qiao Qiao, you're dressed so beautifully today." I walked over to Qiao Qiao and said hello.

"Haha, thank you." She smiled as lively and cute as ever.

"How did you get here today?"

"I'm here by bus."

"Didn't you live on campus before? Your family is not in Fengcheng, and you came here specially. ”

"Haha, I love to join in the fun. However, I also have relatives here. ”

"Oh, by the way, where did you go to college?"

"I'm going to Nanjing, Guoyao University"

"Oh, what a coincidence, that's my second choice." I said excitedly.

"Really?" Qiao Qiao was also excited.

"Yes, but I was still admitted to my first choice, and I want to leave my hometown and go to Changsha, Hunan."

"Hey, I'm so excited. I thought we could take care of each other in the future. ”

"Haha, I also want to be able to take care of more friends, but unfortunately fate doesn't allow it." I smiled wryly.

If I hadn't been chosen by that first choice, I would have been able to stay in Nanjing, and I would have either been in the same school as Qiao Qiao or Lin Ximeng, what a coincidence! It's a pity that the reality couldn't be more coincidental, and it just happened to miss all the coincidences.

After a brief chat, I casually found a place to sit down and quietly watched my classmates arrive one after another.

There are a lot of boys who also said hello to Qiao Qiao after they came, all of them are boys I usually pay attention to, and they definitely like Qiao Qiao.

After a while, He Xiaoyu came, and there happened to be a vacant seat next to me, so I beckoned him to sit down.

"Hey, Mao Xiaoer, how are you doing?" He Xiaoyu slapped me on the back again.

"Oh! I haven't seen you grow a lot in a few days. "It hurt a little bit, and I couldn't help but scream.

"Haha, do you have a dream about Linxi during the summer vacation?"

"Hey, hey, it's an appointment."

"Got a separate appointment?"

"No, four of us ate together."

"That's not going to work, you're going to have to create time to be alone with her."

"I also want to, I originally asked her alone, but she was invited by her in turn, and she used this opportunity to invite a few more people."

"Who are you invited?"

"One of her best friends, and then Song Hongyi and me."

"How's it going, have you confessed?"

"No, it was already prepared, but I regretted it when I thought about it afterwards, and I don't know why I couldn't bear to say that sentence at the time."

"Look at your cowardice, you can't do it when it's critical. Heyβ€”I've been teaching you for so long. He Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "Then where did you go to college?" ”

"Hey, I'm embarrassed to say, it's a shame that I didn't play well. I can't stay in the province! ”

"It's okay, let's hear it, I haven't played well, and I can't stay in the province."

I looked at him with wide eyes and said, "What? You didn't play well either? You were also kicked out of Jiangsu? ”

"Yes, I got a high or low score, but it was embarrassing, I didn't expect it to be like this."

"What a good brother! Me too. As a result, I went to Zuo Yong University, in Changsha, have you heard of it? ”

"Oh, there, it's not bad."

"Oh my God, it's rare for anyone to know that this school exists! How do you know? ”

"I also paid attention to it when I filled in the volunteers, such an excellent school, I don't know why, the score line is relatively low."

"I'm right on that line."

"Then I'm 10 points higher than you, and I went to Sitong University."

"Wow! It's the one I wanted to go to in Shanghai, and the one I also have in Xi'an! ”

"yes."

"I originally thought that if I couldn't pass the exam in Shanghai, I could also go to Xi'an, but I failed in both."

"Then do you know where Lin Ximeng went?" He Xiaoyu returned to the topic of my feelings.

"She stayed in Nanjing, Ning Provincial College."

"Then aren't you two separated?"

"yes, no way, this is fate. I'm afraid there will never be a chance again. ”

"Are you willing?"

"Maybe it's a little unwilling, I really don't know if I should continue to pursue it."

"If you want to keep chasing, there's still a chance."

"Hey, they all say that the road to a different place is difficult, I don't think I can handle it, maybe it's time to give up."

"If it were me, I wouldn't have given up. There are always difficulties, I suggest you still persevere, I can see that Lin Ximeng is a good girl. But what you think, it's up to you. ”

"I'm not as good at dealing with girls as you are."

"What's so difficult about this, hehe, as your emotional mentor, if you want to ask me, I can teach you."

"Haha, you're a kobold. So what to do in a different place? ”

"Isn't it just a different place, the first thing is to make frequent phone calls and send text messages."

"I know it without you saying it!"

"If you know, do it."

"Well, I'm sure I'll do that."

"Then if I have the opportunity to go to Nanjing more, I will make an appointment to go around."

"I'm afraid this is quite difficult, I don't think I have time."

"Why don't you have time?"

"You know, from Changsha to Nanjing, there is not even a direct train, the car takes at least half a day, and there are only two days on the weekend, all of which are spent on the road?"

"So miserable!"

"Yes! There are direct flights, but I don't fly too often, how can I afford such an expensive ticket! ”

"That's a problem. Heyβ€”you're in this situation, it's so hard! ”

"Still, I want to thank you for the courage you gave me, and I decided to give it a try. If you get in touch more, there may be hope. ”

"Haha, that's good, that's right!"

……

After lunch, everyone gathered outside the restaurant and chatted, the core question was how to go to the karaoke place, which was some distance from the place to eat.

Most of the students belong to day students and have battery cars, and those who lived in the school before did not have a car and had to take other students, Qiao Qiao is one of them.

A number of boys came to Qiao Qiao's side and offered their courtesy.

I sat bored in my battery car and watched them from afar.

Qiao Qiao, who was surrounded by them, smiled awkwardly, and did not promise anyone, nor did he refuse anyone.

Usually in school, I have already noticed the group of people around Qiao Qiao today, or taking the opportunity to chat with others during class, or happened to walk and chat together after physical education class, or happened to meet in the cafeteria during meals...... In almost every possible scenario I've ever experienced, they've been on the move.

In retrospect, how could I not have been one of them?

It's just that I don't have the same hard pursuit as theirs, I don't have the same strong desire as theirs, and I don't want more from Qiao Qiao like they do. I feel that I have received enough rewards from Qiao Qiao, and I have gained enough feelings, just the English dictionary marked by Qiao Qiao is already very satisfied, and I have nothing else to ask for.

I still grinned at the boys, like a well-fed lion looking at a pack of hungry wolves around his leftover meat.

Qiao Qiao finally sat in a relatively comfortable battery car, and the boy in front of him chatted with Qiao Qiao. The other boys, with a hint of loss, rode their bikes to themselves.

The backs of the students at sunset cast sparse memories on the ground, and on the last day of the reunion, there were many joys and sorrows, scattered and intertwined and floated to the sky.

In the KTV, the whole class booked a large private room, the students who like to sing actively order music, and the students who like to play cards have already opened two or three tables on the table.

I belong to the category of singing people, and I didn't mention it to the front after the order, but let it naturally rank behind many songs. Then I sat quietly on the sofa and waited, looking at all my classmates, and also at Qiao Qiao from time to time.

Qiao Qiao held the bell and cheered for each song excitedly, and would also hold the microphone in front of his chest with both hands dignifiedly, and sing some songs that he could sing. She is still like an elegant elf, infusing the world with endless vitality and joy.

I never believed that I liked Qiao Qiao, but every time I looked at it, I still couldn't help but feel a throbbing in my heart. That cuteness, that liveliness, that naughtiness, is a quality that I have never seen in others, and it is the most beautiful quality that I fall in love with. She must have left an indelible imprint in my heart, but this imprint is different from Lin Ximeng's departure, I can't tell the difference, I only feel that Qiao Qiao brings me only joy, and Lin Ximeng brings me bitterness.

In the same way, the boys who couldn't taste the sweetness just now are still rotating around Qiao Qiao, or showing their charming singing voices, or singing a song with Qiao Qiao, or talking about recent interesting things......

I looked at them silently, at Qiao Qiao. I really wish Lin Ximeng could be here, and I can show her my charming singing voice, or sing a song with her, or talk about the latest interesting things...... Then, when the time is right, put your arms around her shoulders and kiss her rosy face.

However, there was no Lin Ximeng in front of me, just a group of boys who had nothing to do with me, surrounding Qiao Qiao.

If a group of people were surrounding Lin Ximeng, I would have been jealous a long time ago; And now, I have a feeling that I want to laugh. When this KTV gathering ended, it was also the time for everyone to go their separate ways and scatter to all parts of the motherland. At this time, everyone will try their best to get close to the person they care about the most, thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that those boys are so desperate to get close to Qiao Qiao, haven't I been thinking about Lin Ximeng all the time.

It's just that such a scene is ridiculous. In the three years that we have been able to get along, we are always estranged because we like it, and only when we are about to lose it, we are so eager to be close to it once, how sad!

Finally, when it was my turn to order, I excitedly picked up the microphone and sang this song that has been my favorite song since the third year of junior high school.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The agreement to grow up together, so sincere, I can't talk to you endlessly, and I can't tell whether you are friendship or missed love! ”

My passionate performance infected every student present, and everyone applauded.

He Xiaoyu applauded and shouted to me, "Can you tell the difference?" ”

In the eyes of everyone, I smiled implicitly, gently placed the microphone on the table, and did not answer.

After singing, I sat next to He Xiaoyu.

"Do you think there is a real friendship between men and women?" I asked He Xiaoyu.

"There is no such thing as true friendship between men and women!" Faced with this topic that is often discussed after dinner, He Xiaoyu expressed disdain.

"I feel there!" I said firmly.

I looked at Qiao Qiao in the crowd, true friendship, sitting there.
