Chapter Twenty-Eight: She Doesn't Like Me?
It is not only the snow that falls like goose feathers, but also the colorful yellow leaves in late autumn. In the second year of junior high school, the place where the bicycle was parked remained unchanged, and it was still in the yard directly opposite the balcony of Class 7, where there were two tall cedar trees.
I often look up at these two tall cedar trees, and I always think of the two trees in Shen Yun's house. The same unreachable, the same as straight into the sky. The difference is that whenever late autumn comes, these two trees in the school will bloom beautifully in the heaven and earth, and the two trees in Shen Yun's house, I have never noticed any difference, and now I can't pay attention to it. Our family had moved out of there and settled further south in town.
I still remember that after school at noon, I rushed to the yard where I parked as usual. It's not to go home as fast as possible, nor to compare with your classmates, it's just to look forward to the balcony of class 7 to see if class 7 is out of school, whether Yan Jinfeng will appear on the balcony or in the carport.
Now, the doors of Class 7 classrooms are closed, which indicates that the teacher is dragging the lesson. When I hurriedly ran out, I found that the surrounding classrooms were quite quiet, and the yard where I came to the parking lot was empty. I sighed, laughing at myself for being too anxious. As the first person to arrive at the parking lot, it was a bit lonely to stand in such an empty place, especially when the sky was so overcast.
The cold wind blew, not mixed with raindrops, but mixed with some dense "snowflakes", which fell from the tall cedar trees, or thin strips like cicada wings, or tangled together like petals. It's a rare sight, and it's all mine now.
I was deeply enchanted by it, blending into the swirling leaves that filled the sky. They were right next to me, dancing like butterflies flapping their wings and landing gently on their shoulders. There are also some naughty guys, who just pounce on me in the face, making people can't dodge but hate, which is really cute.
Their masterpiece has also been left on the ground, it is a golden carpet, which is soft and soft when stepped on, and makes a rustling sound, and it feels like walking on a sponge, as if it will be bounced up if you are not careful. I even had the urge to lie down on this thick hotbed and sleep comfortably, letting the newly falling leaf petals weave a soft quilt on my body.
But I can't do that, people will come and go, I have to come out of my fairytale world, back to reality, to find my bike.
This courtyard is enclosed by two school buildings with a fence, except for the 7-class building, and on the other side is the 1st and 2nd class building. The parking area next to the fence is covered, but the parking area behind the school building is uncovered, and our class car is parked behind the school building.
At this moment, these cars are also dressed in golden feathers, and gently flutter their wings in the sunlight, as if they are about to fly away. They desperately try to attract the attention of their owners, but they all look the same. It took me a long time to identify my dark blue bike, brushing the leaves off the body and trying to get it out.
The cars are lined up closely, and I don't blame it. Space is so limited that late arrivals will always move the bikes of early arrivals to make room for their own bikes. Today, however, my car was clamped too tightly on both sides, especially the bright yellow car on the right-hand side, which caused a lot of distraction. I've found it parked next to me several times, and I'm annoying.
I didn't have the patience to move the car out slowly. The balcony of Class 7 has gradually become lively, presumably Yan Jinfeng will come to pick up the car soon, and she has to strive to be able to go with her.
As I played, I accidentally knocked over the car on my right, which in turn knocked over the car next to it, and then there was a chain reaction like dominoes, and a large piece of it fell with a bang. How good is that! It started because of me, and I would never let it go, so my heart would be strongly condemned.
I quickly dragged my car out and put it aside, and then quickly picked up the other fallen vehicles in turn. However, these cars on the ground are as troublesome as tangled yarn balls, and the relationship between handles, pedals, and wheels is inseparable.
When he was anxious, Lin Ximeng came over and said, "I'll help." ”
How could I, a big boy, ask a girl to help, I hurriedly smiled and said, "No, I have a lot of strength, I can handle it." ”
"You can't use brute force. Well, I'll hold down the car underneath, and you move the cart up there, and the handle will come out of the wheel underneath. After that, Lin Ximeng had already pressed down the car below.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
As planned, I carefully grasped the left handle of the bright yellow car, moved it forward a little bit, and turned the front of the car. This time, the handle, which was stuck in another wheel, was finally freed. Soon, the whole car was out of the way. Fortunately, Lin Ximeng held down the car below, otherwise it would not be so easy for me alone.
After I pulled over the bright yellow car, Lin Ximeng continued to try to pick up the other cars.
"You let me come!" I motioned to her.
"That's a lot better for the rest." Instead of stopping, she quickly picked up a car.
Subsequently, with our full cooperation, all the vehicles were quickly straightened.
I gasped: "Thank you! ”
"You're welcome!" Lin Ximeng smiled and walked towards the first car that he had just picked up, which was the bright yellow women's bicycle.
"Ah, so this car is yours. I'm so sorry I was so reckless when I took the car just now that I accidentally knocked it over. I scratched my head with a wry smile.
"It's okay." She was still smiling, and she didn't care, like a gentle spring breeze that dissolved all the tension and anxiety.
Afterwards, we walked together to the school gate.
There, I happened to see Yan Jinfeng. She didn't ride today, and after saying goodbye to her classmates, she stepped on her father's motorcycle at the curb. Good fellow, I'm glad I didn't die waiting for her, otherwise I wouldn't have met her in the parking shed when I died!
After leaving the school, I walked with Lin Ximeng for a while.
"I heard, you like Yan Jinfeng?" She asked suddenly.
"Ah, you've heard about that, too?" I was a little caught off guard.
"Everyone in the class knows it, although I don't know her, I'm still curious, is this true?"
"Uh......" I relented, but admitted, "yes." ”
"Ha, don't be nervous, I'll just ask."
Later, we casually talked about some other things in the class, and we parted at the first traffic light.
"I'm going to turn right here, bye-bye." Lin Ximeng smiled at me and waved his hand, then turned to the right.
Staying where I was, I waited for the green light to go straight, watching her slowly disappear from sight, remembering what had just happened. I'm afraid that when Lin Ximeng walked towards the parking lot, she saw me overturning her car. Oops, what an embarrassment! I actually overturned someone's car under the nose of the car owner, and the owner of the car is still a girl, which is really nervous and humiliating.
Fortunately, Lin Ximeng is not as calculating as some other girls, but as if nothing happened, she also took the initiative to help me lift the car together, she is really a good girl who is enthusiastic and kind. But usually seeing that she doesn't hear anything outside the window, she actually pays attention to things other than studying, and actually takes the initiative to ask about things between me and Yan Jinfeng, and she pays so much attention to me, is it - she is interesting to me?
Forget it, why do you want to do so much? Anyway, I only like Yan Jinfeng, and others won't think about it, not to mention that an ordinary girl like her is much inferior to Yan Jinfeng.
There are also fallen leaves on the streets, and a thick layer on the ground is rippling like a tide under the blowing of the wind, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a car or a boat. I remembered the scene in the parking lot, and I was so excited that I conceived it in my head, and when I got home, I put pen to paper:
The autumn wind swept straight to the face, and the snowflakes were about to fly into the eyes. It's different from how the snowflakes are not white, they are deciduous trees. ”
For me at that time, a simple rhyme became a poem, but it was not my first poem. As early as elementary school, he developed a strong interest in ancient poems in textbooks, and always wanted to imitate and write a few sentences. My first poem was written when I was in third grade:
"A tree rises above the sky, close to the river. In summer, the wind is cool, and the joy is like a fairy. ”
It was based on the two pine trees side by side in the courtyard of Shen Yun's house. Back then, I used to rest under the tree with Shen Yun, leaning back against the trunk, looking up at the sky obscured by the leaves, looking forward to the vague future in the distance.
With suspicion of Lin Ximeng, from that day on, I became alert.
Every time I take the car, I still notice that the bright yellow car next to it is Lin Ximeng's bright yellow car, and I didn't see it when I parked in the morning. What a coincidence, either Lin Ximeng just arrived at school a little later than me, or Lin Ximeng deliberately put the car next to my car. "Lin Ximeng's school time is so close to me!" "Mo Fei Lin Ximeng really likes me?" All kinds of thoughts lingered in my mind.
I usually pay more attention to it at school, and I always catch Lin Ximeng's gaze inadvertently.
When I walked into the classroom, there was a good chance that Lin Ximeng's eyes would collide. The eyes full of innocence, the moment I saw them, turned to look away, and they were very cute.
In the free time of physical education class, when I finished a wave of hard fighting, gasping for breath on the football field, and looking around, I could always see Lin Ximeng looking in my direction. After I found out, she suddenly turned her head to chat with the girls around her, and her shy appearance made people laugh.
One day, Song Hongyi found Yan Jinfeng outside the classroom again, and he immediately shouted to me through the window: "Mao Xiaoer, Yan Jinfeng has appeared!" ”
As usual, I hurried out the door. Unfortunately, I found that Lin Ximeng happened to come in through the door, so I quickly tried to stop my steps.
Fortunately, I found it early, otherwise I would have crashed head-on. With my speed at the time, if I hit it, wouldn't it be like a meteor to smash Lin Ximeng directly to the ground? This is still a trivial matter, and what is more serious is that after the crash, if someone sees it, how can I say it clearly? Especially if Yan Jinfeng sees it, my innocence will be over.
But with my speed at the time, it was impossible to completely brake in a short period of time. I had to change the direction of my run, slowing down and slamming into the door frame. With a not-so-loud "plop" sound, I pressed my arms against the wall, leaned sideways and smiled embarrassedly at Lin Ximeng.
Lin Ximeng, who was completely defenseless, was obviously taken aback, and stood at the door and looked at me blankly.
I didn't say anything, continued to giggle at her, straightened up, and then jumped lightly on tiptoe, trying to step through the gap between her and the doorframe, just as I had walked through the broken door of the abandoned tiled house in the courtyard in the form of a cat.
The gap between her and the doorframe was, of course, much wider than the crack in the door of the abandoned tiled house, enough for one person to get through. But I still felt so embarrassed, so I had to avoid her gaze and rush out. At that moment, I felt that my body was out of balance, and the movements of my whole body were so strange and unnatural, like a puppet being pulled at will.
I know it's a nervous thing. Before that, I had only had this kind of nervousness in front of Yan Jinfeng, and I don't know why it happened in front of Lin Ximeng today. I'm nervous because I like Yan Jinfeng, but obviously I don't like Lin Ximeng.
Oops! This series of strange actions shouldn't make Lin Ximeng mistakenly think that I like her! I mistakenly thought that I was nervous because I liked her, and then the movements were deformed! That's a big deal!
No, I can't panic, I have to be calm. The more panicked I became, the easier it was for Lin Ximeng to misunderstand, and only by calming down could I let this matter pass smoothly.
The only person I like is Yan Jinfeng, and this will never change. I must not let Lin Ximeng think that I like her too, and it is best not to let her really like me.
When I finally came to the outside of the classroom, I focused on looking for Yan Jinfeng's figure, and after a while, I locked on to her. Sure enough, I am so familiar with Yan Jinfeng, no matter how chaotic the crowd is, in the vast sea of people, I can always find her figure for the first time.
After all, she and I are a match made in heaven, a pair of fate, and a pair of hearts, aren't we?
