Chapter 42: Imperfect than Perfect
The wheel of fate keeps turning, and sometimes I suspect that it is a naughty child, always bringing hope to the hopeless, but also to the hopeful.
That morning, as I was getting ready to leave home for school, I was shocked to find that my dark blue bike was gone! My parents and I searched for a long time in the community but couldn't find it, and it seems that it was unfortunately stolen.
At that time, I was confused, and I felt that the world was spinning. Losing a bicycle is small, and going to school is not so convenient. You know, that car carries the infinitely beautiful memories of me and Lin Ximeng. That hateful car thief stole not only a car, but also a sweet memory that I have been carefully collecting!
I hadn't ridden that week, but I still passed by the school's carport just to catch a glimpse of Lin Ximeng's bright yellow bike. It had lost my support and seemed to have become much darker. Will Lin Ximeng feel the same way? What would she think if she never saw my car?
On the weekend, my parents took me to the shop where I had bought a car to buy another one.
I wandered around the shop and saw all sorts of bikes, but I didn't like them until I saw the dark blue bike again.
"Wow, this color and style of bicycle is still on sale!" I exclaimed.
"You still want to buy this?" Dad asked.
"Uh-huh!" I said excitedly.
"Why don't you pick a new style and experience something new?"
"No, I just love this bike, I'm used to it. You know, I've always loved to eat what I've eaten, and I've never touched what I've never eaten. ”
So I happily rode home the dark blue bike that was exactly the same as before. Although it is not the original one, and it does not have the breath of Lin Ximeng, I believe that it will continue my marriage with Lin Ximeng.
On Monday, I happily rode my bike to the school and met Song Hongyi at the school gate.
Song Hongyi asked me first: "Mao Xiaoer, why didn't you ride a bicycle last week?" ”
"The car is lost."
"Ah, what a misfortune!" He glanced at the cart I was pushing and said, "So now you've got it back?" ”
"Hey...... It's not so easy to get back. This one, it's new. ”
"It's exactly the same as the original."
"Yes, I deliberately bought the exact same."
"Why?"
"So that Lin Ximeng can recognize my car at a glance and stop next to me!" I said vividly.
"Stinky beauty, you, hehe!"
Later, as I thought, Lin Ximeng's car did stop next to me, just like before. Every noon, every night, I look fondly at the two bicycles nestled together in the garage, so envious.
"What a loving couple, when will I be able to snuggle up with Lin Ximeng like this!"
One day not long after, Ah Ghost also came to my house to play. While I was preparing tea, he was already looking through the games on my computer, as he was very keen on games.
"Mao Xiaoer, you also play "Traces of the Sky"?" Ah Ghost suddenly shouted.
When I heard this, I panicked.
There is nothing wrong with the game itself, I really like this game, I have beaten it over and over again. Aside from the game itself, he especially likes the characters in this game, a male protagonist, honest Mune, I feel like myself; The two heroines, one is lively and hot, which reminds me of Yan Jinfeng from time to time, while the other is simple and gentle, just like the feeling that Lin Ximeng brought me.
In the game, I once fantasized about how I went on an adventure with Yan Jinfeng and Lin Ximeng, and how I chose between them, and felt the sad ending of that love.
But the problem is that the characters in this game can be customized, and I changed the names of the corresponding characters.
I hurriedly rushed from the kitchen to the living room, and was about to stop the ghost, but the ghost had already opened the game save.
"Huh! You've changed your character's name. …… Huh? Why is there a dream of Lin Xi? Could it be ......" Ah Guile blossomed, "Hehehe, what a windfall!" ”
I stood there speechless, and I was caught red-handed with evidence, and I had to admit it if I didn't admit it.
Compared with Song Hongyi, Ah Ghost is a super lively guy, usually big and open-mouthed. If he found out about this today, wouldn't the whole class soon know! I can't imagine that for more than a year, in order to hide my whereabouts, I trembled and walked on thin ice, and the situation that I had finally laid out was so revealed today, and I collapsed in the anthill!
"Well, you have to keep this matter a secret for me!" I had to pitifully beg Ah Ghost's subordinates to show mercy, "Once this secret leaks out and the scandal spreads, I'll be finished." Yan Jinfeng and I didn't develop because of this, don't give me Lin Ximeng a whole flight. ”
"Hehe, don't worry, what am I, haha." Ah Ghost agreed casually, and his eyes were smiling.
I don't think there's any hope for this, so I'll be coaxed and fooled by my classmates in a few days, just like I did in elementary school. The first generation of Yingming flew away like this, and it is very likely that Lin Ximeng will also fly away like this.
In the days that followed, I kept an eye on the ghost's actions. Although he was smiling all day, he didn't seem to be saying anything. The order in the class was still the same, as if nothing had happened. Ah Ghost is really an interesting guy, clever and unpredictable, and the appearance of a hippie smile looks unreliable, but he really won't betray his friends morally, just like he usually idle, but he can always get the first place in the exam.
For the rest of the days before the high school entrance exams, there are mock exams once a week.
Instead of taking the class exam, we ended up in a large lecture hall, about four times the size of our own. There were about 3 classes of people who were placed in this classroom, and there was a long gap between each two. On the whole, everyone sat scattered, like stars in the vast sky, but for some reason it made me feel even more depressed. It seemed to be more crowded than usual in the classrooms, and it was overwhelmingly crowded.
I was at the first of the third row, and as soon as I looked up, I saw the big blackboard and the invigilator.
The invigilator gave me a lot of face and asked me to help distribute the test papers. Of course, I don't give out the test papers in the whole classroom, but the first student in each column is responsible for handing out the test papers, and I am responsible for handing out the test papers in my own column.
"Why don't you just sit in your seat as you used to, and the one person in front turns around and passes the paper to the next? I even have to go on a trip. I muttered in my heart, picked up the pile of test papers that had been assigned, stood up helplessly, turned around and walked to the rear.
The classroom is really big enough, and the distance between the front and back rows is about an arm's length. I casually walked past each of my classmates, sorted out the test papers from my arms, and put them on each student's desk, and my movements were still very skillful.
As I walked, I suddenly found that the next one was Lin Ximeng! She sat upright with a solemn face.
It's really rare to see a moment when she doesn't have a smile on her face, she looks really nervous, quite worried that she won't do well in the exam. Is it because I didn't review enough, or because I was shocked by the depression of this classroom like me?
Ay! This girl is really distressing.
I was sorting out a test paper to put on her desk when she suddenly looked up at me and reached out to try to catch it. It was an ordinary action, but her innocent eyes instantly hit my heart, and I couldn't help but slide my hand. The exam paper prepared for her slid like jelly down her palms and her desk to the floor.
"Ah, I'm sorry." I quickly apologized, hugged the other papers in my left arm, and bent down to try to pick them up with my right hand.
"Ah, it's okay, I'll do it!" Lin Ximeng also leaned down in his seat.
Apparently closer to the ground, she picked up the paper before I could and put it on the table.
It's really embarrassing, I wanted to perform well, and put the test papers neatly on her desk like a gentleman, but unfortunately this time the performance was smashed and became a clown, and I was ashamed.
I thought back to everything that had just happened, why I was so breathless, and I couldn't bear it after looking at her. If only I could hold it a little more securely......
No, I'm actually quite steady, but Lin Ximeng's movements are a little stiff! The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and I continued to replay the picture just now in my mind, and found that it seemed to be her who was nervous just now, and it was she who didn't hold it steady when she took the test paper!
Not only did I feel nervous when I looked at her, but she was also nervous like a shivering rabbit in front of me. Hey, she's just like me, she's a reserved child, just as nervous, just as shy, and just as overwhelmed in front of the people she likes!
Two people like each other is the most perfect, but if they just bury this relationship in their hearts, how can it develop? There is always someone who has to take the initiative, Lin Ximeng doesn't look like that kind of person, this important mission has to be completed by me.
Want to really get in touch with a human girl you like? This may still be too difficult for a cat like me. Especially a person like Lin Ximeng, who is so quiet and silent, is like a pool of dark stagnant water, which makes me elusive, where should I start?
Let's prepare well for the high school entrance examination first! After the high school entrance examination, even if you are a high school student, it should be time for high school students to fall in love. I must take the initiative to talk to her on the day of the end of the high school entrance examination, and at least establish a friend relationship!
There is only more than a month left before the high school entrance examination, and the seats are still rotating. Just as I desperately wanted to share a table with Yan Jinfeng when I was in elementary school, I have always looked forward to being able to share a table with Lin Ximeng. Now, under the seating mechanism formulated by the head teacher, I have already understood the rules, and in two weeks I will sit on Lin Ximeng's left hand side, shoulder to shoulder with her.
If you can really be at the same table, you can guide her well in the final sprint, and work together to establish a friendship in advance, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The thought of this makes me excited, and the closer I get to the day of changing my seat, the more my heart surges.
In the class meeting that day, I sat upright and quietly, but there were already thousands of deer on a rampage in my heart, my eyes stared straight at the smiling head teacher, waiting with expectation for him to give the order to transfer seats, my ears were erected higher than rabbits, and from time to time I glanced at the direction of Lin Ximeng, and let my thoughts wander away.
However, in the end, the head teacher didn't mention the concept of changing seats at all!
"Maybe the head teacher forgot, I should remember it next week." I thought to myself.
However, the head teacher still didn't say anything in the second week.
"It must be another week." I'm sure the head teacher can always remember it.
However, until the day of the high school entrance examination, the head teacher still did not say anything.
I finally recognized the reality, and I missed a seat change! It's just a little bit off! Fate, aren't you able to hear me? Aren't you going to grant my heart's desire? Why is Lin Ximeng so negative to me this time?
It's a little bit close to perfection! It's a pity that ruthless fate sometimes loves to joke with people so much, and at the moment when it is within reach, it is ruthlessly blocked between the two.
