Chapter 35: The Balance of Light and Shadow
I still watched day after day, during the radio exercises, on the campus at noon, on the way out of school, at every opportunity to meet Yan Jinfeng, in front of many classmates, boldly expressed my fanaticism for Yan Jinfeng.
Yet my heart was empty.
My movements are becoming more and more skillful, and I am becoming more and more exaggerated, but also more and more distracted. I don't know why I'm so fanatical about Yan Jinfeng, it's no longer to see Yan Jinfeng or gain Yan Jinfeng's favor, because I don't feel satisfied in my heart because I see Yan Jinfeng.
I guess I'm excited that I've been able to perform a series of difficult moves well. Every attack is an exciting challenge, and completing it proves my agility and gives me a great sense of accomplishment.
I guess I was excited to be basked by the cheers of the crowd. They were all waiting to see me play, just like when I was in the stands of the school sports day with a melon seed drink, I was the one who flew out when I heard the starting pistol, and as long as I managed to see Yan Jinfeng, they would celebrate the victory. In the eyes of everyone, I felt the supreme glory.
I guess it's some other reason to get excited. Whenever I go back to the classroom, I can't help but glance at Lin Ximeng. Her quiet face was as clear as a lake, although it was not as radiant as Yan Jinfeng, but the more she looked at it, the more comfortable she felt. Sometimes, her face was flushed, and with those big ignorant eyes, it was very cute.
No one will notice that it was not Yan Jinfeng who really made me laugh so happily.
No one will notice that it will be this humble little girl who really warms my heart.
No one would have noticed that there was already a balance in my mind, and there were two different girls at either end of the scale. At one end is Yan Jinfeng, and at the other end is Lin Ximeng.
This balance may have appeared a long time ago, in the depths of my soul, from the day I began to pay attention to Lin Ximeng. When I pay attention to Yan Jinfeng, Yan Jinfeng's side will sink a little; When I pay attention to Lin Ximeng, Lin Ximeng's side will become heavier. The two sides rise and fall, but maintain a delicate balance.
As fate would have it, sometimes it's really a coincidence. It brought me two girls, Yan Jinfeng and Lin Ximeng, whose names have the same tone and rhyme when they are pronounced, I believe this is deliberately arranged in the dark.
They were all in my life at the same time, but they were very different. Yan Jinfeng is like a blazing fire in the nine heavens, wantonly burning the whole world; And Lin Ximeng is the clear spring water in the mountains, silently moistening the land flowing through in the shadows. The interweaving of light and shadow is inseparable and destined to leave an extraordinary trace in my life.
So, how do I choose? Fate, you're testing me. How do you want me to choose?
The dazzling light above the nine heavens, with the face of an angel and the figure of a devil, is the peerless best that everyone competes for. Her enthusiasm and liveliness also stirred my heart all the time, but her filthy heart was too much for me to bear. The path after her was full of thorns and darkness, and I was already covered in bruises and numbness, and I was already like a walking corpse.
I'm so tired, I want to give up, but I can't help it, she's so beautiful!
The dark spring in the deep forest, no one will be attracted by her appearance, ordinary as a tree on campus. Yet she is the purest and kindest human girl I have ever seen, like the brightest star in the night sky, the light is faint, but it makes people stop and linger.
It's really strange.,Obviously I refused to like me.,Why do you like this little girl a little now? Maybe it's because she makes me feel good inside.
Every day when I ride my bike to school, I deliberately make a gap between my bike and the cars around me so that someone can park their bike next to me. After school at noon, I was still the first to rush to the carport, not to see someone on the balcony, but to make sure that my dark blue bike was next to the familiar bright yellow.
Sure enough, there is a good chance that our cars will snuggle up together. I believe that this is not just a coincidence, and if it is a coincidence, it must also be arranged by fate. But I hope this is a tacit understanding, a tacit understanding between the two of them
Every time I see such a scene, my heart is full of sweetness, this is probably the feeling of being liked by a person, much warmer than when I liked someone before. I hope that Lin Ximeng can also feel the tacit understanding between us, and cherish the beauty of every fate. This is a story that belongs only to the two of us.
This time, I decided to make a good grasp of the story between us. Once because I was confused, Zhang Hong exposed my old bottom, and all the good feelings gradually disappeared in the strange eyes of my classmates and the prejudice of the surrounding environment.
This time, I decided to keep this secret well. I won't mention it to anyone anymore, and at the same time I will continue to show my fanaticism for Yan Jinfeng. I need to use Yan Jinfeng as a shield, use Yan Jinfeng to confuse everyone's audio-visual, use Yan Jinfeng to hide the self who likes Lin Ximeng, and also use Yan Jinfeng to protect the Lin Ximeng who likes herself.
I will also take the initiative to pay attention to Lin Ximeng, during class, between classes, and in physical education class, I can't help but glance at Lin Ximeng to see what she is doing. When I look at her, there is a good chance that she will happen to be looking at me.
When she noticed that I was looking at her, she would suddenly move her eyes away as if she had been electrocuted, and her face would flush. I love that blush as much as I like Yan Jinfeng's dimples. It is so cute, just like the symbol of Lin Ximeng, just as dimples are the symbol of Yan Jinfeng.
Sometimes, when I find that she is also suddenly looking at me, I will stir up a ripple in my heart and suddenly look away. What's going on? Why am I embarrassed? Could it be that she was infected?
She always gave me the feeling of being stupid, from every time I was called by the class teacher to read the text aloud. Now there is another person who is making trouble for her - the math teacher in the third year of junior high school.
The math teacher is a short old man wearing reading glasses, with humorous language, cute movements, and a very good mental state. The most impressive thing is when he calls people to answer questions.
He had just arrived in the class, and he was not familiar with everyone, so he could only call people to answer questions against the list. I saw him holding the list on the podium with one hand, opening his reading glasses with the other, bending over, lowering his head, and carefully searching for the list.
"Lin Xi Dream." With that, he straightened up and looked for anyone present to stand.
Lin Ximeng stood up slowly, his movements a little hesitant, as if he didn't believe that he would be clicked.
"Okay, this student, could you please answer this question......" the teacher said.
Lin Ximeng stood there in a daze, holding the textbook in both hands and holding it on his chest, staring at the textbook motionless. Looks like it's hard for her.
At that time, the seats of the four of us had not changed, and Xiaomei next to her looked at Lin Ximeng anxiously, and when she saw that she had no reaction, she couldn't help but whisper the correct answer.
But Lin Ximeng didn't immediately accept the answer provided by Xiaomei, and still stayed there, as if trying to come up with an answer through his own thinking.
I was also anxious to see it, and I couldn't help but whisper a reminder to her. Later, Song Hongyi also joined in. The whole class was watching her nervously. I could feel that even the teacher could definitely hear our prompts.
In the end, Lin Ximeng said the correct answer, and his tone was full of nervousness and panic. I don't know if she took our advice or thought of it herself, but I can feel that she actually has no bottom in her heart.
Ay! This little girl who doesn't want to accept our answers casually, but also hopes that she can quickly answer them, is really silly and cute!
Later, with the reallocation of seats, Lin Ximeng and I were far apart. The math teacher still liked to ask her to get up and answer questions, but she still stood there as always, unable to squeeze out a word for a long time.
I looked so anxious that I couldn't help but want to tell her the correct answer, but it was so far away that if she could hear it, I was afraid the whole class would hear it. My intellect tells me to refrain from it!
Ay! Why is she so stupid every time?
Silly as a patch of snow in winter, pure and quiet; Silly like a lotus flower in summer, quiet and unstained; It is as silly as a lake reflecting the blue sky, calm and mysterious; Silly like a diamond hidden in the mountains, crystal clear and brilliant.
