Chapter 105: The Mask of a Smile
The boy leaned against the snow-white tile wall of the classroom with his arms crossed, looking up at the sky above the patio-shaped teaching building with an expressionless face.
In Su Wen's point of view, you can just see the boy's handsome side face, and the perfect lines of the facial contour come into view. A pair of black and white eyes glowed melancholy, the high bridge of the nose lined the eyes extraordinarily narrow, and the corners of the lips with curves were gently pursed when they were not smiling.
Looking at Song Yu from afar, the whole person is just like a melancholy prince in a campus idol drama, and like an angel in heaven who is not stained with dust but has fallen into mortal dust, so beautiful that she can't bear to look at it directly as a mortal.
On weekdays, he was used to seeing the appearance of boys' hippie smiling faces, and Su Wen began to get used to Song Yu's very abnormal melancholy.
"Song Yu, what's wrong with you?" Su Wen walked up to the boy and asked with concern.
The boy looked at the girl in response and said softly, "It's nothing ......."
In those black and white eyes, there was sadness that was completely different from the boy's warm temperament.
"Really?" Su Wen looked at Song Yu's melancholy eyes and said worriedly, "I see that you seem to have been in a trance lately...... Is there something unhappy? ”
“…… Uh," the boy curled the corners of his lips slightly, looking at the girl with his dog-like black and white eyes, "yes?" ”
"Didn't you?" The girl asked rhetorically, with a look of affirmation in her eyes that were wide open with excitement.
The boy didn't forget to play haha at this time, but there was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, "Maybe hahaha, you found out!" ”
"I'm serious! I'm not kidding you! Su Wen saw the boy's appearance of smiling and smiling, and he was inexplicably angry, "Can't you just be serious and talk about what is in your heart?" ”
When Song Yu heard this, he was dumbfounded, and the smile deliberately hooked up at the corner of his lips was removed, and he still used those black and white eyes that were clearly sad but also distinct, staring seriously at the girl's eyes that were worried about herself.
The girl frowned slightly, with a look of concern, "If you have anything unhappy, you can say it!" Don't hold it back! ”
"Me?" The boy stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and laughed habitually, "What can I be unhappy about?" I'm so happy! ”
In order to prove that he was happy, the boy deliberately smiled so much that his eyes were bent into crescent moons.
"Don't laugh!" Su Wen was inexplicably angry again, and his heart was surging, and he seriously interrupted the boy's fake smile, "You obviously don't want to laugh, why do you force yourself to laugh?" Laughing reluctantly, you are not really happy from the bottom of your heart, what's the point of laughing? ”
The boy was stunned by the rare decisive momentum of the girl, and every word seemed to be blood flowing back into the ventricles, and a warmth rose.
Finally, the boy withdrew his smile and looked at the girl's stubborn eyes seriously, "I'm sorry, I'm used to laughing, and I can't take off the mask anymore." ”
Mask? How do you use the word "mask" to describe your smile?
I have heard more than once that a female classmate who knows or is unfamiliar expresses her admiration for Song Yu unabashedly, the smile that makes people feel like a spring breeze, the smile that is as warm as the warm sun in winter, and the smile that makes countless girls burst out with admiration, in the eyes of the parties, but it is a mask?
Beneath the surface of his smile, how many unknown sides are hidden?
Su Wen couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, "Why?" If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh, if you're not happy, you're not happy, no one will say anything about you......"
"Because, when you're not happy, smile more, and you'll naturally be happy." Song Yu looked at the sky above the patio of the teaching building again, and the smile on the corner of his mouth carried a certain heartbreak.
"You," Su Wen's heart trembled, "isn't this embarrassing for yourself?" Happy deceiving yourself? ”
"Then you can deceive yourself." The boy smiled again, his smile full of bitterness.
Su Wen frowned slightly, and his words became clever, "You better stop laughing, laughing when you're unhappy will only make people feel more abnormal." ”
The boy looked at the girl's serious eyes and unconsciously laughed again, "Hehe, no one will find out." ”
"Why not? Didn't I find out? Su Wen stared at the smile on the boy's face, and instantly had the urge to step forward and pinch the boy's face twice, to see what kind of mask was hidden under that good-looking airbag, which made a person with a warm smile so abnormal.
"Hmm." The boy whispered, "Why?" ”
Su Wen gritted his teeth, resisted the surging impulsive emotions in his heart, and said angrily: "Because you are ugly laughing now!" ”
"Uh, okay." The boy blinked in disbelief and finally smiled self-deprecatingly, which was a kind of approval of the girl's remarks.
In fact, no matter how Su Wen looked, no matter what kind of expression his face was showing, it was still extremely handsome. The corners of the good-looking mouth are gently raised, which is enough to make the hearts of a little girl full of girlish hearts sprout. But in Su Wen's opinion, the smile on the boy's face barely raised, and the black and white eyes clearly overflowed with some traces of heartbreak, which really stinged Su Wen's eyes.
The boy looked at the school building at the other end of the overpass, and his eyes began to lose focus, "I have been playing the role of a clown who makes people laugh and laugh, one day he cried, he was unhappy, and the onlookers laughed even more happily, no one knows, the clown is really sad and sad in his heart......"
Song Yu's nonsensical words made Su Wen more and more confused, his mind was a mess, Su Wen blinked his puzzled eyes, and had to reply on the surface meaning of the boy's words: "You are not a clown......
"But sometimes, I'm a funny clown in the crowd."
Hearing the boy's reply, Su Wen was stunned again, and began to be at a loss, instinctively and firmly vetoing his self-deprecation, "You're not a clown!" ”
After speaking, Su Wen became confused again, and the topic was always unfocused.
The girl scratched her head in annoyance, "Wait! I'm going to be confused by you! I just, just want to know, why aren't you happy? ”
Song Yu looked at Su Wen with sincere and worried eyes, and finally wrote lightly: "I'm not unhappy, don't care about what I just said." ”
"You don't treat me as a friend, do you?" Su Wen's heart sank, and his lowered eyes were filled with endless loss.
Therefore, what Xiao Shijie can know, she doesn't know; Xiao Shijie can understand him, but she doesn't understand?
"Na, if you treat me as a friend, if there is anything unhappy, as long as you are willing to say, I am willing to listen!"
The bitterness flashed in his heart, and when he raised his head again, Su Wen's clean face rekindled a smile, and the sincerity in his eyes made the boy's heart beat for a moment.
"A lot of things, it's hard to say." In the end, the boy tried to brush the matter off with a vague answer.
Again, "it's not easy to say".
Su Wen suddenly remembered that a week ago, when she mustered up the courage to ask Song Yuanzhi why Song Yu behaved so abnormally, Song Yuanzhi also said "It's not easy to say".
"Xiao Suwen, I can only tell you, don't touch Song Yu's bottom line easily." On that day, Song Yuanzhi sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly, "You also saw what happened just now, his mother is the bottom line, and anyone who touches him will be angry." Don't look at Song Yu smiling all day long, in fact, people are stubborn! Hey, I can't control him! ”
Su Wen nodded ignorantly, all kinds of doubts in his heart were intertwined, there was no way to solve them, and the only person who knew him well was also secretive. So Su Wen became more and more curious about the mystery, although he had already sensed an ominous premonition in his heart.
Just like Liu Chuan said that day: "There must be a deep contradiction between him and his mother, otherwise, when Senior Sister Yuan Zhi mentioned his mother, her face changed instantly......"
"Your mother, have you returned home?" Knowing that the muzzle of the gun could not be hit, Su Wen still gave it a go, cautiously expressed the doubts in his heart, held his breath and did not dare to come out, staring intently at Song Yu's eyes.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard the word "mother", the boy was like Song Yuanzhi in the music activity room on the day he was asked, the two sword eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, and his eyes showed a light of forbearance and resentment.
After speaking, Su Wen bit his lip, regretting his impulsive move, and wanted to throw himself a few faces on the spot.
"Well, I'm back." After a while, the silent boy finally answered, and his voice seemed to be filled with ice that could not be dissolved for thousands of years.
When spring arrived, the temperature had already risen, but Su Wen couldn't help but want to shiver.
"That'...... That...... You guys...... Have you met? Su Wen stammered, not knowing where he had borrowed his courage.
"Nope." The boy didn't look away, leaving only the girl with a resolute side face, and her voice was so cold that it seemed to come out of an ice cellar.
"It's okay if you don't see it, anyway, she hasn't been back for seven years."
The girl's pupils froze, and her wide eyes stared at the lonely boy, all kinds of thoughts were in her heart, but she couldn't say a word when she opened her mouth.
The boy's cold face was gone, and there was no smile at the moment. Those black and white eyes were once dotted with warm smiles all the time. As soon as he looked at those dog-like clear eyes, no one could help but be contaminated with happy emotions. But at this moment, the cold strangeness in those eyes was completely like a different person. The boy's so-called smile mask, Su Wen didn't believe it.
Song Yu's warm smile, how could it be a mask? Even if it's a mask, it can't be worn by a boy all the time. A sincere heart in the boy's chest, a warm heart, Su Wen has never had any doubts about it.
But at this moment, Song Yu, who had taken off her mask to Su Wen, was as cold as a stranger, which made her afraid and felt extremely strange.
She touched more truths about him, but as Song Yuanzhi said, she also touched the bottom line of boys' intolerability.
"Seven years...... How...... How could it be ......" After the shock, Su Wen's eyes were blank and he muttered to himself.
Song Yu, who had been silent for a long time, kept looking at the sky on the patio of the teaching building, and the intense emotions in his heart gradually calmed down. The boy has regained his former peaceful temperament, but his eyes are still full of melancholy.
"Hehe, when I say this kind of thing, I actually don't believe it myself."
