Chapter 47: Gone with the Wind
"Little Er, do you have time next week, come to my house to get together." One day in August, Zhang Hong suddenly contacted me from QQ.
"What's the arrangement?" I asked.
"Come to my house around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone will play computer games, drink tea, and chat together."
"Everyone? Who else are they? ”
"There is your favorite Yan Jinfeng! Of course, there are many, many other classmates, but basically they are in our class, but there are also some you know. ”
Will Yan Jinfeng also be there? I stared at the computer screen and fell into deep thought.
It's too boring to stay at home during the summer vacation, and I finally have an event, I am very excited from the bottom of my heart, but this is an event with Yan Jinfeng participating, and there are many classmates I don't know in Class 7, what am I going for? Wouldn't it be embarrassing?
"It's all classmates in your class, and they don't know me, won't it be embarrassing for me to go?" I replied.
"It's okay, just make more friends, maybe you'll meet them in high school! Besides, there is Yan Jinfeng here, don't you want to take a second look at her? ”
Zhang Hong doesn't know my current attitude towards Yan Jinfeng, it doesn't matter if I see Yan Jinfeng or not, since I have sealed all my feelings for her in the classmates, I naturally will no longer hold on to my past feelings. If I can't see her, I won't miss her, and when I see her, I won't make waves again.
In this way, Yan Jinfeng's non-participation is just a matter of whether there will be many passers-by on the spot, just like other students in Class 7. However, from the perspective of what he said about getting to know more friends, I can't refuse this cat who loves to join in the fun.
"Okay, I'll play."
"Bring some fun games along the way."
"What kind of games are you bringing?"
"The graphics are more dazzling, 3D, and fun."
"I've played one of the only 3D games, Tomb Raider, action puzzle adventure type, okay?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll bring the latest "Tomb Raider 5", there are various scenes in it, and one of them is more terrifying and exciting."
"That's very good, this kind of tense subject matter is very emotional."
"Okay, tell me the specific time and address, and I'll go when the time comes."
"Great!"
That afternoon, I went to Zhang Hong's house with the CD. It was Zhang Hong's new home, which was no longer next to the elementary school. The living room at home is not very large, and as soon as you enter the door, you can see the computer desk, opposite the computer desk is a square table, which is full of snacks and fruits.
There's already a guy playing games in front of the computer, and I don't know him. Under Zhang Hong's Zhang Luo, I found a stool and sat down, and quietly watched the boy play a game, playing Warcraft.
"I like this game a lot, too." I said.
"That's good, let's talk about it together." Zhang Hong said.
"I'm very good at fighting, I just like to play RPG maps." I laughed.
Not long after, Yan Jinfeng came. I looked at the door with a blank face, her appearance had not changed at all, she was still so beautiful, and the deep dimples were still hanging on her face when she smiled.
Yan Jinfeng also saw me, she didn't show surprise, nor did she show her alienation from me, all her movements were lively and natural, it seemed that she had already known that I would come, and she had already been mentally prepared.
Everyone was almost all here, and everyone sat around the computer to eat and drink.
For me, there are so many strange classmates. They talked and laughed with each other intimately, chatting about the past of Class 7, or the current fashion star, and said that there was a person named "Brother Jie", who had classes in the afternoon and came later.
In the midst of them, I felt like a transparent person, listening quietly, or watching the games that others were playing, and occasionally laughing along with them.
Maybe Zhang Hong was not very happy when he saw me, and he arranged for me to put on "Tomb Raider" for everyone to demonstrate.
"Friends, let the cat junior bring you a cool game later, everyone is welcome!"
Under Zhang Hong's encouragement, everyone burst into applause.
Do they all know me? Even applauding me for playing the game? I don't know what kind of character I am in their eyes, so I'll play the game honestly, "Tomb Raider" is still good to watch on the show, if they have the heart to watch it seriously, the sense of substitution is still quite strong, if they don't like to watch it, it's good for me to play alone.
"Yan Jinfeng, you just sit in this position and watch." Zhang Hong pointed to the stool on my left and said.
"Why are you sitting here?" Yan Jinfeng smiled embarrassedly, "You guys who love to play games sit here." ”
"Eh, it's good for us to sit on the side, we can see it, and you will be left with the best position for this viewing angle." The other students said.
In the end, under the push of everyone, Yan Jinfeng still sat on the stool, without showing a displeased expression on her face, it was still quite natural, as if she was indeed willing to sit here.
In this way, I became nervous. For many years, Yan Jinfeng has never been so close to me. At the moment, she was on my left-hand side, with her hands on her laps, leaning forward, her neck stretched, and staring intently at the computer screen.
I had already entered the game, and I was seriously operating the protagonist running around in complex scenes, and I didn't dare to turn my head to look at Yan Jinfeng at all. It was only through the afterglow that I could see her smiling and looking at me with relish, and from time to time she would look at my face with a tender look in her eyes, as if she was impressed by my superb skills and admired me.
Is this really Yan Jinfeng? Shouldn't she put on a look of not wanting to see me? Why did you put on a beautiful appearance?
This situation seems to go back to the time when I was at the same table with her. At that time, I pretended to be serious about my homework, but in fact my mind was on her. I saw through the afterglow that she was also looking at me like this, her big sparkling round eyes, exuding deep affection, full of infinite worship and admiration.
"Wow, this guy is amazing!"
"You can jump so far!"
"This place can be climbed?"
"You can hold it underwater for so long!"
She marveled from time to time.
I would also respond to her politely:
"yes."
"There's more exciting to come."
"There is a place in the third chapter where a ghost will suddenly appear and chase her, and she has to pass quickly, so it's difficult."
Looking at it, Yan Jinfeng seemed to be a little tired, lying on the computer desk with her hands together, still looking at the screen with great interest, and her slender arm was almost attached to my left arm.
I became even more nervous, my left arm became less natural, and I tried to avoid her arm in order to operate the character normally.
Later, Yan Jinfeng rested his head on his left arm and looked up at me affectionately, with a soul-stirring gentleness.
The feeling of happiness seemed to be teased again in my heart, but I felt more frightened. I don't know why Yan Jinfeng, who has always been indifferent to me, took the initiative to snuggle up to him at this moment, and also hooked me from time to time. Does she still think I like her? Does she want to redeem me? Does she want to torture me again?
No! It's useless!
I firmly told myself not to look at Yan Jinfeng's face, it was the charm from the banshee, it was the cunning from the demon, it was the fatal gaze from Medusa, it was even more terrifying than the monster in the game.
Even if Yan Jinfeng really likes me, what then? A true warrior doesn't fall in the same trap! The bread disguised as a trap was so simple that I could see through it at a glance.
Abandon all emotions for Yan Jinfeng and embrace the sky that only belongs to Lin Ximeng, this is the decision I have made. I have already made this decision, both psychologically and in action, and I do not regret it, let alone regret the actions of such a person at this moment! If in the end, I failed Yan Jinfeng's heart, then it would be better to live up to her, and the big deal would be to think that I dumped Yan Jinfeng.
I continued to control the characters in the game and bravely overcome all kinds of obstacles, just as determined as I was.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Brother Jie is born!" Someone shouted, and ran to open the door.
Announcing the arrival of a person like this must be very popular. However, "birth" and "accident" sound similar, so it's easy to misunderstand.
"Haha, Brother Jie has an accident? What's wrong? Sure enough, someone noticed the joke.
"It's the 'birth' that appeared, don't think about it, curse people." Zhang Hong said.
Opening the door, the "Brother Jie" walked in.
While playing the game, I already felt that the people around me had gathered at the door to greet me, and Yan Jinfeng also ran over. Only a few lazy ones were still sitting behind me.
I also took the time to look outside the door, the man was not tall, black and thin, it was the rival I was eyeing at the beginning!
After a few brief greetings, everyone returned to their original positions, and Yan Jinfeng was still sitting on my left hand.
So she actually wanted to sit next to me in the first place! This guy, what's the use of doing this now?
Actually, I've long noticed the group of people gathered here today. Basically, in the past three years, I have noticed the people who have appeared next to Yan Jinfeng, and the "Brother Jie" is also, and there is a tall man too. Some I have asked Zhang Hong before, and some I have not bothered to ask Zhang Hong. Yan Jinfeng was not the only girl present, but also her best friend, her tablemate, and the girls I had seen walking beside her.
I always have a hunch that today's game does not seem to be centered on Zhang Hong, but more like Yan Jinfeng.
Approaching the evening, Zhang Hong said: "It's not early, let's go have a meal together later, I know a good restaurant nearby." ”
Everyone cheered.
And I, alone pulled Zhang Hong aside: "Why do you have to eat together, you didn't tell me in advance that there was this link." I have something to do in the evening, so I won't go. ”
"It's rare for everyone to get together during the summer vacation, and it's not normal to have a meal, so let's come."
"I mean really, I'm sorry." I patted him on the shoulder, showing my determination.
Under Zhang Hong's organization, everyone walked downstairs one after another, got into their respective cars, talked and laughed with each other, and prepared to go to the restaurant together.
I also followed the crowd in my battery car, silent.
"Alright, let's go! Go out and turn right at the intersection on the road and ride for 10 minutes. Zhang Hong announced.
"Guys, I'm sorry, I have something to do in the evening, so I won't go to dinner with you, and when I get to the intersection of the main road, I'll turn left and go home." Although I didn't know each other very well, I politely greeted everyone.
We were at the crossroads in a few moments.
"Alright, I'll go first, bye-bye, everyone!" I waved goodbye to everyone.
Everyone also waved happily, only Yan Jinfeng, who was hiding in the crowd, seemed a little unhappy.
After saying goodbye, I went in the opposite direction. After a few seconds, I stopped and looked behind me, and I could vaguely see the back of Yan Jinfeng in the crowd. She rode her silver-gray bicycle and drifted away until it merged with the gray clouds on the horizon.
They must still be talking and laughing along the way, and they will definitely not be very lonely. But no matter how much laughter there was, it had nothing to do with me.
When I got home, I opened the classmate directory and looked at Yan Jinfeng's piece of paper again, and the birthday column said that it was today's day.
