Approaching the summer vacation, in order to be able to meet, I dialed Lin Ximeng's phone:

"Lin Ximeng, when are you going to have summer vacation?"

"Probably July 5th, what about you?"

"It was supposed to be July 7th, but this time I have to participate in a training camp, and I can't go back until I get in my twenties."

"What kind of training camp?"

"Intensive training for computer programming competitions."

"Wow, is that the one you've been in before?"

"Almost."

"Awesome! It's good that you have this skill, come on! ”

"Uh-huh, thanks. In addition, I would like to ask, do you have time to get together this summer? ”

"Well, I don't know. We'll see when you get back. ”

Lin Ximeng didn't agree, but at least he didn't refuse like he had when he was invited before. I feel that this time there should be more hope, so I will spend the two weeks patiently and wait until I get home to make an appointment.

During the two weeks of the training camp, I just did a few more questions, simulated a few more games, and I didn't feel that there was any improvement, I would have done what I could do a few years ago, and I still couldn't do what I wouldn't do.

Probably because my mind was not completely spent on the training, compared to the boring computer program, I was obviously more interested in Lin Ximeng at this time, I thought about her all the time, and I was looking forward to going home as soon as possible.

"Hey, Lin Ximeng, what are you doing at home during the summer vacation?" In my spare time, I dialed Lin Ximeng's phone in the dormitory.

"There is a nice new gym on Pozi Street, and my parents got a card there, and I took their card to experience it."

"How does it feel?"

"It's really good, I also took my girlfriend to play, and I feel comfortable after practice, haha."

"We also have a new gym in the school, and I've been to it too, haha." In fact, Peng Xu first discovered the gym, and then dragged me to accompany him.

"How's your training at school?"

I was stunned in my heart, Lin Ximeng rarely took the initiative to care about me like this, which really surprised me: "It's good, these topics still taste like before." ”

"Haha."

"I'll go back in a few days, do you have time at the end of July, let's make an appointment." I asked while the iron was hot.

"I'm not sure yet, I'll talk about it then."

Lin Ximeng still did not give a definite answer. But I had a hunch that she would say yes this time.

Finally, the day of returning home has arrived.

"Lin Ximeng, I've already returned to Fengcheng, do you have time this week?" The night I set foot on my homeland, I dialed Lin Ximeng's phone.

"Well, my girlfriend and I made an appointment to stick to a fitness plan every day." Lin Ximeng said in a hesitant tone, "Either we make an appointment at noon and eat on Pozi Street, and I'll bring my girlfriends and go to the gym by the way after eating, how about it?" ”

My original intention was to create a chance to be alone with Lin Ximeng, but unexpectedly, she offered to bring her girlfriend to dinner with me, which disappointed me.

I think back to the time I graduated from high school, Lin Ximeng brought my best friend. Multiple people who don't know each other sit at a table, can't talk together, and have to take care of that person's feelings, how can people be awkward and how can they perform freely?

"That's it, you can call Song Hongyi too." Lin Ximeng probably thought that I would be embarrassed.

"Okay, so be it." I sighed, a solo date turned into a gathering of friends again, and I was really unwilling, but who told us to be generous as boys? Next time, let's find a chance to invite you alone.

So I got in touch with Song Hongyi.

"You still like Lin Ximeng!" After listening to my invitation, Song Hongyi felt incredible.

When I entered the university, the two of us didn't usually have much contact, and I didn't mention Lin Ximeng at the last class reunion.

"Oh roar, that cat Xiaoer who likes Lin Ximeng is back again?" Song Hongyi smiled, "Okay, I'll definitely come, as a brother, I'll help you get rid of her best friend and create a space for you to be alone!" ”

I am very relieved that Song Hongyi is really my good brother. However, what should I say when he really got rid of that best friend, and Lin Ximeng and I were alone? I haven't been alone with her at the dinner table yet, so I'm really nervous.

At noon that day, Song Hongyi and I came to the door of the agreed restaurant early. The restaurant I chose, it was the best western restaurant on Pozi Street, both in terms of environment and dishes.

I originally imagined sitting face to face with Lin Ximeng at a neat and small square table, bathed in warm candlelight, intoxicated by romantic music, just the two of us, with two beating hearts.

It's a pity that it's four people now, four people are just four people, make do with it, at least we can see each other. What will she look like this summer?

I was looking forward to it, when suddenly my phone rang, and I picked it up and saw that it was Lin Ximeng calling.

"She probably couldn't find a restaurant." I smiled at Song Hongyi as I answered the phone, "Hey? Lin Ximeng, are you in the vicinity? ”

"Uh-huh, we're here. But we don't really want to eat today, so let's just find a random place to eat. ”

"What's going on? Do you want to work out, so eat less? My face suddenly plummeted.

"yes, to lose weight, hee-hee."

"Then you can come here, you can eat less here."

"No, we're already at McDonald's over here. Is Song Hongyi with you? Come over in a moment. ”

"Yes, Song Hongyi is next to me, why don't you two come over."

"You really don't need to eat there, come here, we're waiting for you here." After speaking, Lin Ximeng hung up the phone.

I smiled bitterly and said to Song Hongyi: "They are not coming, they went to McDonald's and called us over." ”

"What? Why did you suddenly change places? ”

She said she didn't want to eat much. She's been obsessed with fitness lately, and for good reason. ”

"Hey, forget it. It's getting really fast. ”

In desperation, Song Hongyi and I hurried to the nearby McDonald's, where Lin Ximeng and her girlfriends had already found seats, and fries, hamburgers, chicken wings, and Coke were already placed on the table.

"Come on, come on, over here!" Seeing me and Song Hongyi who had just entered the door, Lin Ximeng hurriedly waved and shouted.

Following Lin Ximeng's guidance, Song Hongyi and I sat down, and I sat opposite Lin Ximeng, just like when I graduated from high school, when I had dinner.

"I've ordered something, you guys eat it. If it's enough, it's not enough, I'll order some more. Lin Ximeng said, ready to get up.

"Eh, enough is enough, no need to go." Song Hongyi beckoned her to sit down.

"There are only two burgers, I'll go buy some more." I saw that the amount of food on the table was not quite right.

"No, let's just eat some fries and drink some Coke, the burger is for you." Lin Ximeng said with a smile.

"You said it's easy to eat, it's too simple." I say.

"Hey, that's enough." Lin Ximeng grinned.

I never thought that the original invitation to Lin Ximeng for a big meal would turn out to be such a "simple" result, I was disappointed, I felt like I was being tricked by her. Forget it, it doesn't matter what you eat, it's important to have a good chat, even if it's a McDonald's, you can talk for an hour or two.

So we talked about our life in the university in the past two years, complained about the environment of our respective schools, laughed about the classes we had taken, and the exams we had taken, and the atmosphere was also happy.

I look at Lin Ximeng from time to time, and she seems to have become more charming in the past two years. At first, I liked Lin Ximeng not because of her appearance, but now I feel more and more that Lin Ximeng is the most beautiful girl in the world, her round and fair face is the most exquisite jade in the world, and the rouge on her cheeks is like a white lotus floating in the clear water, like a morning glow haunting the white clouds. If there are really fairies in the sky, then Lin Ximeng must be one of them who came down to the mortal world.

What I admire most is Lin Ximeng's eyes, clear as water, pure as pearls, which seem to contain an isolated fairy tale world, in which countless cute little people dance carefree.

I looked at the world in Lin Ximeng's eyes intoxicated, but when Lin Ximeng's gaze inadvertently swept over me, I still closed my eyes in fear. Not only me, but Lin Ximeng too. Not only now, but all this time, we have never had the courage to face each other's eyes.

However, I noticed that Lin Ximeng was not like that when he looked at Song Hongyi. As early as when he graduated from high school, the three of them sat like they are now, Lin Ximeng was looking at Song Hongyi more often, and chatting with Song Hongyi more often. Since then, I have always been jealous of Song Hongyi, and I have always suspected that Lin Ximeng likes Song Hongyi.

"Eh, how are you and your girlfriend doing?" Lin Ximeng suddenly asked about Song Hongyi, with a mysterious smile on his face.

"It's pretty good."

"Is it the same as the one you said last time?" Lin Ximeng's smile had a hint of mockery in it.

"What do you mean? Am I that kind of person? Song Hongyi slapped the table aggrievedly, and pointed at Lin Ximeng with his index finger held high, like a politician accusing each other in the court. But after a while, he retracted his arms, slowly lowered his head, and smiled embarrassedly, "Hey, it's not the same as last time." ”

"Hahahaha......" everyone laughed.

I had a smile on my face, and I was already a hundred thousand unhappy in my heart. In front of me, it doesn't matter if Lin Ximeng and Song Hongyi were so enthusiastic when they talked, they actually communicated more with each other in private than their own, and their familiarity was far higher than their own. are also three people in different places, why is the friendship between Lin Ximeng and Song Hongyi so deep?

I couldn't hold back the jealousy burning in my heart, so I beckoned Song Hongyi to my ear and whispered, "Teach me, how did you talk so hotly with Lin Ximeng." ”

Song Hongyi, who was still happy just now, instantly raised his face and said coldly: "How do you say this, please think about it yourself." With that, he straightened back and returned to his normal smile.

I thought that the good buddy would pass on some experience to himself, but unexpectedly, he ate a dismount instead. I stared at Song Hongyi and slowly sat up straight, looking dazed. In the past two years, Song Hongyi seems to have changed, and he is no longer the little brother who used to talk to him and always followed him submissively. He grows, and he never seems to have moved forward. Is humanity changing so fast?

"How is this girlfriend now, do you have any photos?" Lin Ximeng continued to ask, and his face seemed to be filled with a happy smile.

I've never seen her smile like this for herself, and Song Hongyi did it easily.

Song Hongyi flipped out the photos in his mobile phone and showed them to everyone, the girl in the photo not only has a flower and moon appearance, but also has a quiet and elegant temperament.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" Lin Ximeng exclaimed, "I have the opportunity to bring it back and introduce it to us!" ”

I looked at Lin Ximeng in surprise and didn't say anything. I think she's changed a lot, too. In the topic dominated by Lin Ximeng and Song Hongyi, I couldn't insert a word.

After some time, Lin Ximeng's best friend asked to go to the toilet.

"Eh, I want to go to the toilet too." Song Hongyi touched his stomach and said, gently pinching my thigh by the way.

After the two of them left, Lin Ximeng and I were finally left at the table.

I complained in my heart: Song Hongyi said that he wanted to break up Lin Ximeng's best friend, but I didn't expect it to be in this form, but it did provide me with time alone with Lin Ximeng, even if he didn't break his promise. However, when I came back to my senses and really faced Lin Ximeng alone, I didn't know what to say.

Lin Ximeng and I stared at each other with wide eyes, close at hand, but it seemed to be a few light years apart, familiar faces, but found strangers that had never been before. In the past two years, we have known each other for a greeting on each other's birthdays, and we have not known anything about each other.

"How's it going?" I asked weakly, with a smirk of utter embarrassment.

"It's okay." Lin Ximeng replied weakly, his face expressionless.

The whole environment was the same as the one when I graduated from high school, but the difference was that I didn't even dare to take a picture of her this time. Why should I take a picture of her alone? Doesn't that expose the fact that I lost her picture?

Beneath my calm surface lies a tumultuous heart, turbulent, very unnaturally looking into the toilet from time to time. Lin Ximeng also looked at the toilet from time to time, as if we were waiting for someone to save this embarrassing scene and return the atmosphere to harmony.

It didn't take too long, and Song Hongyi came back after all. He happily asked, "How were you talking?" ”

I smiled wryly and didn't say anything.

"I'm waiting for you!" Lin Ximeng regained his vitality as if he was instantly filled with electricity, and his eyes radiated a bright light.

Time continued to pass, and in the conversation and laughter between Lin Ximeng and Song Hongyi, I once again felt that I was the supporting role.

After the end, I kept reflecting, the more I thought about it, the more it was not a taste, and all kinds of resentment arose, lingering in my chest for a long time. At night, I couldn't hold back the sorrow in my heart after all, and found Lin Ximeng on QQ.

"I suddenly found out that I had fallen for your trick again."

"What's the 'trick'?" Lin Ximeng actually returned.

"Originally, I had a treat, but it became your treat again."

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone hasn't seen each other for a long time, whoever pleases it is the same, you're welcome."

"It's the second time, and I've been 'invited' by you again."

"Forehead ......"

"Next time I invite you again, don't rob me again!"

Lin Ximeng didn't reply anything.

I didn't post anything more, and my heart didn't get any better because of it. As a man, he had already said that he would pay for it, but he was robbed by a woman. I felt insulted, I felt my dignity being trampled upon. Next time, I will never allow this to happen again.

So when is the next time?

A few days later, I found He Xiaoyu in a depressed mood and confided in Lin Ximeng about inviting Lin Ximeng to dinner.
