Chapter 54: The Best Birthday Present (Part II)

When I looked up, it was a computer teacher. Only then did I realize that it was almost time for the final of the computer programming competition, and the teacher must have brought me the news of whether I had advanced to the finals. But the teacher didn't have a smile on his face, and it didn't mean to be good news, so I lowered my head again and continued to look at the eraser.

At some point, the eraser has been disconnected. Its surface was still smooth and pleasant to the touch, except for a crack along the middle, breaking in two. The crack resembled a bolt of lightning, and the split section was pitted like a broken foam cardboard.

"Mao Xiaoer, the results of the computer competition in Fengcheng last year were not very good, so only two places were given in the finals this year. According to the results of the preliminary round, it can only be Yang Mo and Tian Xiao, the teacher sees that your score is actually only 1 point lower than Tian Xiao, and tries to help you fight for it, but unfortunately the organizing committee refuses to give one more place. ”

Without saying a word, I fiddled with the erasers and tried to put the two erasers back together. The eraser is sticky, maybe as long as you align the texture at the interface and press hard, you can restore the eraser that has been broken in two.

However, my movements were so stiff that I couldn't attach the eraser no matter how much I pressed it. Intense restlessness welled up in my heart and turned into warm droplets. Occasionally, a few drops slipped out of the eye, fell on the eraser, and landed on the desk.

The teacher squatted down to look at me and comforted me softly: "Don't be sad, although you didn't make it to the finals, you still have the third prize in the province." I don't blame you this time, the teacher believes that your ability is good. ”

"Teacher, I didn't feel sad that I didn't make it to the finals...... It's just that...... It's just that...... My eraser is broken......"

I anxiously wanted to explain to the teacher to prove that I was not sad and that I could accept the reality that I was a man, but for some reason the tears became more and more turbulent and blurred my eyes in an instant. My heart seemed to be twisted and torn by a pair of invisible hands like this eraser, and I was almost out of breath with a burst of colic.

I stared at the eraser in my hand with the last of my consciousness, as if it were the most precious treasure I had left, the only treasure I had.

In terms of computer science, from the first prize in primary school, to the second prize in junior high school, and now to the third prize, it is not that I have not worked hard, but the problems I am facing are becoming more and more complicated. I always felt like there was a wall in front of me that I couldn't overcome. When I was in junior high school, I tried to get through that wall, but it didn't work; Now in high school, I'm trying to get through that wall again, but I still haven't succeeded. On this side of the wall, everything is so handy but monotonous; And on the other side of this wall, it is full of happiness and beauty, but there are many difficulties.

In addition, there is the same wall in front of me, one side of the wall is friendship, and the other side of the wall is love. When I was in junior high school, I tried to pass through that wall and was beaten back mercilessly by Yan Jinfeng; Now that I am in high school, I try to pass through that wall again, and in the face of Lin Ximeng, will I end up like Yan Jinfeng? If Lin Ximeng really didn't come to his birthday party this time, maybe it would be a signal. Maybe that's fate.

On the other hand, Yang Mo and Tian Xiao, this time, as a pair of "Condor Heroes", they represent the school and Fengcheng to participate in the competition, and they should be blessed.

I wiped my tears and smiled at the teacher: "I'm fine, teacher, thank you for the news, I am relieved to know the result." Yang Mo and Tian Xiao will get good results for us! ”

After crying, my mood was inexplicably much better. It's just a wall, there's nothing to be sad about, the unpopular discipline competition of computers, few people pay attention to it, this time it's an end, and I will definitely not touch this thing again in the future; After all, Lin Ximeng is different from Yan Jinfeng, Lin Ximeng must still have a good impression of me, as long as I work hard, this wall must be broken.

It's a pity that what a long piece of eraser, originally delicately like a piece of jade, has now become two coarse pieces of old tofu.

"These two halves of eraser are about the same size, and I think we can salvage them." He Xiaoyu looked at my eraser that was broken into two pieces, as if he had some extraordinary thoughts.

"Can you restore it?"

"No, I just came up with a nice idea."

"What idea?"

"Give them to me, and you'll know when you get back."

He Xiaoyu is quite mysterious, but I believe him.

The next day, He Xiaoyu took the eraser back to me. I saw that the words were neatly engraved on it, one was engraved with "Mao Xiaoer", and the other was engraved with "Lin Xi Dream".

"Wow! How did you carve it, so powerful! "I didn't expect He Xiaoyu to be so ingenious, so many strokes engraved on the small eraser is so beautiful, at first glance, these two erasers are like jade carved seals from the hands of seal carving masters.

"Write on it with a pencil and dig it out with an art knife."

"How did you come up with this idea?"

"There is often this kind of bridge in TV dramas, which was originally a complete jade pendant, which was divided into two halves, and was destined for the destined person. Do you see this white eraser, does it look like a jade pendant? Do you and Lin Ximeng look like a pair of destined people? ”

"Haha, I have a heart!"

"It's a birthday present for you." He Xiaoyu looked like he did good deeds without leaving a name, "Let's try the effect." ”

As he spoke, He Xiaoyu took out a pencil and painted the side of the eraser engraved with words black: "Come, give me your notebook." ”

I hurriedly flipped the sketchbook to a blank page and handed it to his desk.

He Xiaoyu pressed the blackened side heavily on the sketchbook, and pressed it repeatedly with his palm. When I picked up the eraser, the paper almost stuck to the eraser and was torn off. Fortunately, the paper fell on its own as the eraser rose into the air, slowly unfolding in front of my eyes.

I saw that the rectangular piece of black charcoal suddenly revealed the three big white characters of "Lin Xi Dream", accompanied by a few fine lines, just like an antique stone tablet rubbing, which was perfect.

I couldn't put it down, so I put the two rubber stamps neatly into the stationery box and looked at them from time to time, especially the one engraved with the words "Lin Xi Meng". Whenever I miss Lin Ximeng, I will look at this rubber stamp, look at her name, as if I can see Lin Ximeng's smiling face, which makes me feel a burst of happiness.

In the next few days, there was still no news about Lin Ximeng, and there was no chance encounter with Lin Ximeng on the road. Maybe Lin Ximeng really won't come, I sighed, comforting myself that this is actually nothing to lose, it can only show that in Lin Ximeng's eyes, I am not that important. When standing at the end of despair, my heart is much more steady.

On Friday, the last day of waiting, the weather was clear, but my heart was gray.

Lin Ximeng should tell me the final choice today, whether to come or not?

The morning reading class passed without any news.

I am ready for Lin Ximeng's absence, but I am still a little unwilling.

The first class passed.

What if Lin Ximeng decides to participate? I am even more bottomless. If you don't behave well at the dinner table, won't your impression be greatly reduced, and what if you are embarrassed at the dinner table? I felt a mess in my mind, as if I hoped that Lin Ximeng wouldn't come.

The second lesson passed.

After doing recess exercises and returning to the classroom, Song Hongyi appeared at the door of my class.

I had a hunch that he must have brought news of Lin Ximeng.

Sure enough, Song Hongyi brought a greeting card: "Lin Ximeng said that she couldn't come, but she prepared a greeting card for me to give to you." ”

The greeting card in front of me is exquisitely packaged.

I held it in my hand and was very excited: "Okay, I know, thank her on my behalf." ”

Back in my seat, I couldn't wait to open the envelope, and the greeting card inside was exactly the rustic style I liked. a bouquet of brightly colored carnations, sweet and warm; Two brown stuffed teddy bears in a bamboo basket are cute and relaxed; In the lower right corner, the starfish disguised as a stamp is printed with the words "Deep Blessings", neatly and exquisitely.

When I opened the greeting card, there was a square of white paper mixed in, and the white paper was written with a blue ballpoint pen: "I'm sorry, I won't go to ,β€”β€” Linxi Dream on the weekend", and the white paper was removed, and the text of the greeting card had a sentence written by a black signature pen: "The rainy season that belongs to you must be a gorgeous and wonderful season." The next line of the book is in English: "Happy Bi."

thday! β€”β€” LXM”。

What a greeting card with heart! What a heartfelt birthday wish! I also deliberately wrote the exact reply on sticky note paper and attached it to apologize. Every word is so delicate and neat, just like Lin Ximeng's pure smile. Through every word, it seems that I can hear Lin Ximeng's crisp voice, like a slender jade hand plucking the strings, echoing in my ears.

I looked at the card with infatuation. This is the most valuable greeting card I have ever received, this is the first time I have received a greeting card from a girl, this is the first gift from my favorite girl, and it is the best birthday gift I have ever received in my life!

In the darkness of despair, a ray of sunshine illuminates the whole world, and on the other side of the sunshine guidance, it is not the expectation that Lin Ximeng promised to participate in his birthday party, but the birthday gift from Lin Ximeng that he never expected. Between Lin Xi's dream and not coming, I never thought that there would be this third situation - people will come in the future, maybe this is the most beautiful situation.

I still hold the open card in my hand, feeling as precious as gold, and the impact of it has stripped away my soul and made me unable to move. I felt a fountain of happiness in my heart, but it didn't seem to be in me. The corners of my mouth opened involuntarily, as if possessed by the devil, and I couldn't stop laughing.

It wasn't until the class bell broke the spell on the greeting card that my soul finally returned to my body and my heart flew back. I quickly packed up the card, put it in a drawer, and looked up at the podium. It's just that the mouth still can't be closed, as if the meridians have been cut off, so I "laughed" for a lesson.

Between classes, still like this.

"What's the matter with you?" He Xiaoyu asked.

"I don't know what's going on, I just can't stop." Even when I spoke, I couldn't close my mouth, and my voice leaked between my teeth, vague and weird, and I felt embarrassed myself.

In this way, I continued to maintain a stiff smile through the last class of the morning, until the end of school, the car, the school gate, and the warm spring breeze......

What does it look like to be in a bloom? Maybe it's like this, with your mouth open all the time.
