There is no doubt that Xu Leqiu, the only best friend, has now found her own circle in the new class, and she is inseparable from her new classmates every day, just like they once did. Only Su Wen is always the one who is outside the group, whether it is junior high school or now, Su Wen always seems out of place in the crowd.

Le Qiu's friends have been more than Su Wen since he was a child, and he only treats Le Qiu as his only friend.

Sometimes the word "only" is added before the word "friend", and the party with the "only" friend inevitably becomes lonely and sad.

Friends are evenly matched, and only when both parties have equal status and give equal affection can friendship reach a balance and be long-lasting. But it is clear that Su Wen has always been on the weak side.

What is hateful and infuriating is that she thought that high school would be the beginning of her new life, but this beginning gradually had a tendency to repeat. The first girl I met after coming to school finally took the initiative to invite her to be her companion, but she refused unknowingly, Su Wen instantly wanted to beat herself again.

But what about going? Do you want to expose your hillbilly-like appearance in front of a girl from a wealthy family? She can't understand brand-name goods, let alone afford them, and she can't give any effective and reasonable purchase advice to girls who are used to brand-name items. She and she are not the same kind of people after all, and reluctantly walking together will only make the awkwardness of the gap more and more magnified. They are the same kind of people, Su Wen knows in his heart that Liang Yunyi will not understand herself.

The distance is not created day by day, but it was originally there from the beginning, but suddenly one day the truth surfaced. Whether it is personality, family, or appearance, Su Wen looks out of place when standing in front of her.

Suddenly, Su Wen's smooth forehead shuddered, and a slight pain instantly spread to the cerebral cortex, causing the girl to turn her eyes in a daze, and her eyes finally met the smiling eyes of the person who came up.

"What are you doing? Why are you standing here alone? Song Yu smiled and looked at the blank eyes of the girl in front of him as if she didn't know herself.

Su Wen came to his senses, gently stroked the forehead that had just been knocked by the boy, thinking to himself why this little squad leader always likes to knock on other people's heads, and muttered: "What are you doing, look at the scenery." ”

Song Yu's smile deepened, the corners of his mouth raised a very good-looking arc, and he couldn't help but say: "Come on, you, just be in a daze, and look at the scenery!" ”

Su Wen was so blocked that he couldn't speak, "I ,......"

"What are you? Don't you want to go yet? Want to be alone on the playground and watch the scenery? Song Yu held back a smile and teased.

Su Wen suddenly looked around, and the students who were fighting had disappeared at some point. She didn't even know how long she had been in a daze.

"What about you, why didn't you leave?" Su Wen's words are not right.

"Me?" Song Yu pointed at himself and said with a smile, "I just helped move some things, and when I came back, I saw that the playground was gone, and you were left standing alone." ”

"Oh, that's it." Su Wen moved his numb foot, not knowing how to continue the topic.

Then why are you back? The words got stuck in her throat and she swallowed them again.

The stadium was deserted, the tables and chairs of the colonels and leaders on the viewing platform had been removed, and the artificial turf in the center of the red plastic circular track still had traces of being trampled. The wind was blowing, and the national flag was flying in the air, shaking the flagpole with a clang. A huge banner was also hung on the roof of the stadium stands, and the white words printed with the words "2013 Freshman Military Training Report Performance of Bode Middle School" were twisted by the wind.

"Hey, Su Wen, aren't you leaving?"

The boy's clear voice blew into his ears with the wind, Su Wen looked at the boy on the red runway, the boy's face was still white, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to melt into the sun.

Su Wen suddenly felt that the other party was inexplicably far away, and said softly: "It's here!" ”

Here it comes? There was a strange feeling that spread to Su Wen's heart, they didn't meet, but "coming" was so natural.

"I said you're so stupid, how did you get into Bode?" The boy chuckled.

Su Wen resisted the desire to roll his eyes, his tone suddenly became proud, and he said angrily: "Of course I was admitted by myself." ”

The boy next to him laughed to himself, "That's right! ”

"What are you laughing at?" Su Wen knew that the boy didn't have any malicious intent, but he didn't quite understand where the other party's slightly strange joke was.

"Laugh at you, you're always stupid." Song Yu looked at the girl with a stubborn expression, and then said, "It's pretty cute." ”

Su Wen couldn't speak with a sentence, his cheeks were hot, and even his heartbeat was beating faster. She's grown so big, it's the first time I've heard a boy say she's "pretty cute".

"You're blushing?" The boy next to him was still joking unrelentingly.

"Me? No, no. Su Wen looked at the ground unnaturally and muttered, "It's the sun." ”

The boy showed another smile that made Su Wen feel inexplicable, as if he had been seen through by the other party.

Su Wen was moved by this friendly interaction, and the person who came to the new class and said the most was the boy with a smile in front of him, so they can be regarded as friends, right? This sentence hidden in her heart was almost affected by Su Wen's momentary excited mind and said impulsively, but when the words came to her throat, Su Wen suddenly thought that maybe she was self-inflicted, the sentence "We are friends, right?" "I never dared to ask.

"What do you want to say?" Song Yu turned his head sideways to look at Su Wen, who was a little shorter than himself, and scratched his head, "I see that you seem to like to swallow the words that mention your throat back into your stomach." ”

"Huh?" How do you know? Do you have mind reading? Su Wen's eyes widened and he said in surprise.

"Look, look, if you have something to say, don't say it!" Song Yu stopped, lowered his head slightly and approached Su Wen, opened his black and white eyes, rolled his eyeballs strangely, and stared at Su Wen's face with interest, as if he wanted to swallow her into his stomach.

However, being watched seriously by the boy at close range, Su Wen's heart seemed to be driving through thousands of troops, and his heart suddenly beat faster, and he felt a tingling in his scalp.

"Don't look at me like that," Su Wen's voice was like a gnat, "I'm ashamed." ”

"Hahaha......" The boy laughed wantonly, and the laughter turned serious, "No wonder you said that you will be nervous when you speak on stage, get used to the gaze of others, and face the eyes of others generously, you will not be afraid." ”

Fear? Su Wen looked at the boy's clear eyes, grateful that the other party had read and given him understanding.

"Yes, just like now." Song Yu looked at Su Wen's eyes seriously, and those black and white eyes seemed to be about to suck Su Wen in.

When his eyes met, Su Wen saw himself who was not smiling in the boy's eyes.

"Of course, it's weird to watch it for a long time." The boy smiled uncomfortably, turned his face and took a new step, walking forward leisurely with his hands around his neck.

The corners of Su Wen's mouth unconsciously curved, and he trotted up to catch up with the boy's pace.

"That, Song Yu," Su Wen's voice was soft, "we'...... Friends, right? ”

In the face of this sudden question, the boy was a little stunned, looking at the tangled expression flashing on Su Wen's shy face, Song Yu raised his hand and pretended to knock it heavily on Su Wen's forehead, but the force was very light, and at the same time he smiled: "What nonsense, of course it is!" ”

"I've considered you a friend since the first day we met." The boy's voice was surprisingly sincere.

Suddenly, his heart twitched, and a sour taste poured into his throat, Su Wen blinked slowly, and only after a long time did he say the sentence "Thank you".

Of course, Su Wen's sensational thanks were exchanged for another sudden burst from the boy, "I'm stupid again." ”

At the new school, she had friends. Thinking of this, Su Wen's heart was full of pride and emotion. What is trivial to others is worth remembering for her.

"That's it?"

"Huh?"

"That's what I said you swallowed?" The boy patiently explained.

"......," Su Wen snorted, "almost." ”

The boy laughed out loud without embarrassment.

"What are you laughing at, always laughing." Su Wen felt inexplicable.

"It's nothing, I just want to laugh when I see you." Song Yu said playfully.

"Actually, you can say whatever you want, you don't have to hide it in your heart. If you don't say it, how will others know what you think in your heart, and getting along with people is to communicate more. The boy suddenly got serious.

"But ......"

But if some words are spoken, there may be no room for redemption. Su Wen has annoyed the girls in the class too many times because he is not good at expressing himself or cannot speak beautiful words, and has been misunderstood or even disliked. Over time, Su Wen gradually got used to not expressing, she thought that if she didn't express, others would not misunderstand her, but the fact was that she became more and more detached from the group, and it was even more common for her classmates to be excluded.

"Here we go again, but what?"

I don't know why, Su Wen looked at Song Yu's smile, and always felt that she was gently tolerated, which made her want to open her closed heart.

"But, I'm stupid, I'm afraid that I will say the wrong thing and make others hate me."

"Hmm, is there one?" Song Yu looked at Su Wen seriously, "It's okay, it's just that you don't like to talk." ”

"So I don't have any friends." Su Wen laughed self-deprecatingly, her tone so relaxed that it seemed that she never cared.

"Well, I'm not?" Song Yu pretended to be angry.

Su Wen hurriedly explained, "Of course it is, I mean before." ”

"Just kidding, you, you're too serious." Song Yu smiled tolerantly, looked at the girl's slightly frowning face, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Su Wen's hairy head, "Remember, if you talk more, you will have friends." ”

The girl was stunned by the boy's sudden intimate action, and when she heard the boy's comforting words as a friend, the girl's heart suddenly warmed.

The warm current flowed from the scalp on the top of his head that had been touched by the boy to all corners of his body, and Su Wen's entire chest cavity was also full of warmth. The sound that was close at hand seemed to come from hundreds of millions of years later, the breeze blew the coolness of autumn, the camphor tree above her head scattered a fine shade on the ground, and the boy's eyelids flickered and dimmed under the floating shade, but she clearly captured the warmth of the shallow smile in the boy's eyes.

Whose voice sounded slowly with the cheerful chirping of birds, whose smile loomed in the autumn sun.

In Su Wen's memory, except for the warm smile that her only friend Xu Leqiu bloomed at her as a friend, there were very few sunny smiles that showed her like that.

Fragments of past memories flew in his mind chaotically, and Su Wen suddenly saw the disgusting eyes, alienated movements, and even overt and secret abuse of the girls in his class...... However, at this moment, the fragments were scattered everywhere and gradually hidden in the sparse shade of the trees, and her eyes gradually became clear to the smiling face of a teenager walking in the sun.

Before I knew it, I had walked from the stadium to the student dormitory area. Su Wen was still standing in the shade of the tree, watching the boy walk at the fork in the road connecting the boys' dormitory and the girls' dormitory, turning his head and smiling and waving goodbye to her.

The unfamiliar campus, the unfamiliar city, suddenly a little bright, a little warm.
