Chapter 52: A Dream Wakes Up
After Christmas Eve, snowflakes once again came to the southern land of Province G. The snowflakes are not as fierce as before, but they are not in a hurry, like catkins flying in spring. Walking on the campus path where the snow has not faded, in the face of this small snowflake, you don't have to worry about getting wet in the snow without holding an umbrella.
The Christmas spray painted on the glass window has not yet fallen off, and it happens that the air is cold in winter, and the spray sticks to the transparent glass window as if it is frozen. After the previous night's revelry, it was clear that the students' spirits were much lower when Christmas arrived. The classroom floor was simply cleaned the night before, and there were still some traces of carnival chaos. I slept late the night before, and the students opened a pair of sleepy eyes, hurriedly pulled themselves back to the presumptuous carnival, and devoted themselves to learning as always.
Su Wen also has a pair of panda eyes, and there is no joy in the festival.
There was still silence.
Zhang Xiaoli was very puzzled by Su Wen's silence, and whenever she was free, she would catch Su Wen and ask her about Christmas Eve.
"Eh, Su Wen, do you have something to say? What the hell is going on? Zhang Xiaoli chased after the girl, and she didn't give up.
Su Wen tugged at the corners of his mouth, and tried his best to face Zhang Xiaoli's relentless pursuit in a relaxed tone, "It's all said, it's nothing!" ”
"And how did he react?" Zhang Xiaoli showed a look of remorse on his face, "Isn't it...... Rejected? ”
Su Wen was noncommittal, not daring to touch the frozen memories of that night. The hands holding the peace fruit stood awkwardly in the air, unable to get a response, and it was difficult to take back the actions made when they spoke. Whenever I think of the blinding red love wrapper under the incandescent lamp, the girl is so ashamed that she can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Even if that's the case, it doesn't matter!" Zhang Xiaoli tried his best to comfort, "As you said before, there is indeed that kind of situation, but if you do it, you will know what the truth is!" I won't regret it either, don't you say? ”
Su Wen smiled, with a certain bitterness of shame in his smile, "Well, so, it's okay, you don't have to worry!" ”
"Really? It's all my fault, what a bad idea! Now we should focus on learning, and don't think about what we don't have! Zhang Xiaoli looked at Su Wen cautiously, for fear that he would say something hurtful and make things worse for the girl.
"It's okay, it's all over." Su Wen smiled with relief, "If it weren't for this, I might still have some unrealistic fantasies, but now that I have recognized the reality and woken up from the dream." ”
When the snowflakes swept through the night wind and blew towards the two people who were standing in a daze, the moment the air became more and more stiff, and the girl's outstretched hand that could not be withdrawn became more and more stiff. Everything is in plain sight, and the awkward atmosphere rising around tells the girl that indisputable fact in her heart. It is also strange to say that the first time he confessed to a boy in such a tactful way, Su Wen cared not about whether the other party loved him equally, but about his sensitive self-esteem that he had nowhere to put at the moment when the air was stiff.
- I'm sorry, I can't accept your apples......
- I...... I already have a girlfriend.
The boy's cold words fell on the girl's eardrum with the snowflakes, and the sonorous word by word will hit the girl's eardrum with force, breaking the rigid situation between the two word by word.
A picture at the corner of the stairs a few days ago flashed in the girl's mind, the handsome boy was holding a stack of homework books in his arms, and he didn't forget to look at the girl next to him and smile when he went down the stairs. The two walked together, contrasting with the snow-white world, and even the beautiful white snow became their foil, and even the back looked like Xu Deng.
I already have a premonition in my heart, why do I want to be bored? The girl looked down at the tip of her shoe, and had long forgotten her original intention of coming to send the peace fruit. The wind was blowing, and the cold winter wind slapped the girl's blushing face.
The girl bit her lip tightly, trying to keep her head down from looking at the boy's cold eyes, those eyes with a gentle smile were now cold and alienated when they looked at her. Out of the corner of her eye, she could catch a glimpse of three or five unfamiliar faces crowded at the door of a class of classrooms, and for a moment, the girls suddenly felt the shame that swept over them in public.
There was nothing else she could do but bow her head and turn away. The whirring winter breeze was blowing in her ears, and the noise of the school building was left behind by the girls. On the night of Christmas Eve, Su Wen did not participate in the final carnival of the class party, and ran all the way back to the dormitory with the snowflakes that fell on Christmas Eve. didn't say hello to anyone, so much so that later Zhang Xiaoli wandered around looking for Su Wen, and even missed the peace fruit sent by his best friend Xu Leqiu.
Those are not important to Su Wen, who was frustrated on Christmas Eve, when Su Wen sat alone in the dark dormitory, hoping to erase the shameful memory as if he gnawed on the peace fruit that was not sent out, the shameful grievances were swallowed by the girls one by one, the cold apple passed through the throat, and the bitter taste quietly rose.
As early as on the way back to bed, Su Wen was attacked by wind and snow all the way, and the biting chill made Su Wen wake up from his dream. The girl who came to her senses didn't even understand her original thoughts at the time, why did she do such a self-righteous stupid thing? Knowing that the facts are in front of you, but still humiliating yourself like a moth to a fire? Self-righteous, self-inflicted, wishful thinking...... All kinds of words have poured into my mind, and the shame of self-esteem has made girls unable to understand themselves, and even the first bit of heartbeat at the beginning of love has disappeared in an instant.
What does it feel like to like someone? 16-year-old Su Wen didn't fully understand, but on that cold and windy night, the wind and snow were falling, and he finally woke up from a dream.
For Ji Heming, she didn't really like it. And what the real liking is, Su Wen has not yet comprehended. Life is a long road, the crimson heart is not the main color of life, after waking up from the dream, life still has to move forward.
The first love sinus has not yet grown branches, and it died in the frozen soil, not to mention regret, let alone heartbreak, and the girl finally felt relieved.
On the contrary, Zhang Xiaoli, an outsider, was worried, busy and busy, shushing the cold and asking for warmth. Regarding Su Wen's explanation, Zhang Xiaoli was still skeptical: "It's okay if you think like this, in fact, there is nothing to be sad about, isn't it just a boy, you will definitely be able to meet your true destiny in the future!" ”
"You, I didn't think about anything, you always instigated me to confess and magnify my favor infinitely, but in fact, this is not the case, and the timing was not right," Su Wen said the words blaming Zhang Xiaoli for his bad idea, but there was no sense of blame in his tone. It seems to be saying it to Zhang Xiaoli, and it seems to be saying it to himself: "What's more...... I don't think I'm so ...... Like him, really not ......"
"Su Wen, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Zhang Xiaoli hugged Su Wen's arm and shook it, "It's all because I was too heavy on gossip and didn't think about it so much, so I patronized and instigated you!" ”
Su Wen smiled with relief, "It's okay!" The past is gone. ”
"Okay," Zhang Xiaoli pursed his lips and followed Su Wen forward, "Then what are you going to do now?" ”
Su Wen raised the things in his hand, "Oh, Ping An Guo, I'll send it to my girlfriend, didn't you say that after I left last night, she came to our classroom to look for me, but she didn't find me, she was a little disappointed?" ”
"That's right, she came here with the word disappointed written on her face!" Zhang Xiaoli recalled the scene of meeting Xu Leqiu the night before, and said with a pair of big eyes.
Su Wen couldn't help frowning, "It's understandable, usually the two of us lack communication, and finally on Christmas Eve, I didn't give her an apple, she came over to give it to me, and I can't find anyone...... I really didn't take into account her feelings, and I have been ignoring her a lot lately...... I don't know how she's been doing lately......"
"It's not too late for you to send her now! She shouldn't be mad at you! Zhang Xiaoli has always been an optimist, smiling innocently.
"I hope so!" Su Wen smiled, and couldn't help but worry: "Actually, she is also quite sensitive......"
"Just explain it and you'll be fine!" Zhang Xiaoli watched Su Wen walk towards the class corridor with a larger number, and couldn't help but wonder, "Su Wen, why are you going over there?" Isn't it closer to walk this way? I remember your friend in Class 19? ”
Zhang Xiaoli pointed in the direction of the first class of corridors, looking at Su Wen's back full of doubts.
Su Wen stopped in the corridor of the third class when she heard the sound, and slightly turned sideways to the corridor of the second class where Zhang Xiaoli was, she didn't turn her head to look at Zhang Xiaoli's puzzled eyes, and her voice came softly to Zhang Xiaoli, "I'll go this way, go first!" Oak, go back to the classroom! ”
As soon as the words fell, Su Wen turned to leave, leaving Zhang Xiaoli looking at the girl's back as she walked farther and farther away. Zhang Xiaoli realized it later, looked at Su Wen's distant back, and then looked at the doors and windows of the classroom in the first class, and suddenly understood the reason why the girl walked a long way.
Zhang Xiaoli didn't understand what Su Wen was thinking, but he guessed most of the reasons. If Zhang Xiaoli is allowed to experience a confession rejection, the arrogant Zhang Xiaoli may still be heartless, regardless of his three-seven-twenty-one, she can live how she should live, she doesn't care about the eyes and opinions of others. But Su Wen is different, as sensitive as her, and her self-esteem is as strong as her, maybe Su Wen said that he was relieved and wanted to open it, but in fact, there is still such a wound in his heart. Thinking like this, Zhang Xiaoli felt a little more guilty in his heart.
Su Wen went around the teaching building to reach Class 19 in the North District, panting and calling a strange classmate from Class 19 to help Xu Leqiu come out, as soon as he saw Xu Leqiu, Su Wen explained breathlessly: "Xiaoqiu...... I...... I went back to my dorm room last night...... I...... I have prepared for you the fruit of peace...... I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to forget to give it to you...... Whew......"
"Xiaowen, don't say it yet, did you come here? So gasping? Xu Leqiu was still angry before, planning not to show Su Wen a smile, but when he saw Su Wen's panting appearance, his heart softened, and the grievances of being ignored disappeared in an instant.
"Okay, then I'll accept your belated peace fruit!" Xu Leqiu blinked, took the peace fruit handed by Su Wen and said.
