43 If I see thee, as I first saw thee
"Will you owe her more in the future?" , Yanxi's words made Jingchen fall into deep introspection.
In Western University, the only person who understands him and understands him is Yanxi. has been a classmate for two years, and among the four people in the dormitory, the eldest "Yanxi" has taken care of him, the "little four", and there are countless of them.
Is it true that after falling in love with someone, you will not live freely enough from now on? In just a few months, he was so unruly as a boy, never like now, a little bit of a gain and loss.
But the person he likes has become the girlfriend of his good buddy, youth, and indeed acne......
It's also important to make others happy. This sentence, as if imprinted, was imprinted in his heart.
After twelve years, he still remembers that rainy summer, he was in the first grade, she was in the third grade, and Longchuan Primary School.
After every school bell, the students were picked up by their parents one after another, only she and him, a six-year-old boy and a seven-year-old girl, stood at the school gate for a long time, waiting for the person to pick them up......
The person who picked him up was his father's driver, Uncle Chen, who was always late due to various reasons such as traffic jams. The person who picked her up, Aunt Lin, the nanny at home, often couldn't catch up with her school time because of many things such as buying groceries on the way. So, the two children, in the anxious process of waiting for adults, met in this way.
That time, it was raining heavily, and he and she stood under the eaves of the school guard room to take shelter.
He asked her, "Sister, is that aunt who comes to pick you up every day your mother?" ”
She replied, "No." My mom never picked me up. ”
He asked again, "Is it also because you are too busy with work?" ”
She replied, "No, my mom doesn't go to work." ”
He asked again, "Then why can't she come and pick you up?" ”
She didn't speak, actually, she really didn't know why.
He asked again, "Sister, don't you have a father?" Why didn't he come and pick you up? ”
She was impatient: "You have a lot of questions. ”
He obediently closed his mouth......
A few minutes later, he was picked up by Uncle Chen, and he looked at her through the car window, and the aunt had not yet come.
She raised her schoolbag to cover her head, walked out of the eaves and looked anxiously at the school gate, the rain was pouring down, the schoolbag was useless at all, the bean-sized raindrops covered her eyes along her hair, and the soaked clothes and pants were clinging to her body in a very uncomfortable posture......
Although Uncle Chen had started the car, he insisted on shouting that he had dropped something and wanted to get out of the car to pick it up, Uncle Chen had no choice but to stop the car and was about to help him find something. He quickly jumped out of the car and rushed into the rain, draped his raincoat over her, and then ran into the car in the rain, and was criticized by Uncle Chen. He knew that Uncle Chen was afraid that his father would criticize him.
After returning home, he "asked" his father that if it was a rainy day, Uncle Chen would send that sister home first and then send himself home every time he used the car. Because he knew that Aunt Lin walked home with her every day, and when it rained, she would definitely get caught a cold.
The next day, she really caught a cold, and when she returned the raincoat to him, she didn't say thank you. only said that: "I have a father, and he, like your parents, also said that he was too busy to pick me up from school." ”
He smiled: "Let's just say that my sister won't be so pitiful, the doorman uncle at the gate has always thought that we are orphans~"
"Imp!" , she also smiled, revealing a pair of dimples that were neither deep nor shallow, which was very good-looking. Touch his head and call him an imp from now on.
He only remembered that the aunt who picked her up called her every time, "Xiao Ran".
It was April 1st, and she was standing at the school gate, sullen, ignoring him. He asked her why she was unhappy, and she said, "It's my birthday, but no one remembers." ”
The next day, he asked his mother to buy him a small cake and bring it back to school. During the lunch break, they shared the cake on the ping-pong table in the playground and celebrated her birthday.
As she cut the cake with her right hand, the heart-shaped scar on her ring finger aroused his curiosity. She said: "When I was three years old, I accidentally broke the glass and was cut, and because I didn't bandage it in time, I left a deep scar. ”
"It's like a ring, it's beautiful." He remembered that the heart-shaped ring on his mother's ring finger happened to be in that position.
"Rings?" She pursed her lips and smiled as she ate her cake, taking a closer look at her scar.
She said, "Little ghost, you're so nice. This is the first time someone has given me a birthday. Although it was a day late, I was happy. ”
He grinned, and at the age of six, he actually said something very "adult": "It's also important to make others happy." ”
When he said this, he felt that he was suddenly older than her, her brother.
Later, he had just been promoted to the second grade, and his parents wanted to go to the north for business reasons, so he was transferred. He would never see her again, the older sister who had two small dimples when she laughed.
It's hard to believe that twelve years later, he will meet her. He wouldn't have recognized her if he hadn't noticed the heart-shaped scar on her right ring finger when she was bartending at "Pleasure Space". There may be many women in this world who have a pair of dimples when smiling, and there may be more with the word "dye" in their names, but there is a heart-shaped scar on the ring finger, and he is sure that there is only her!
He didn't know how to describe how he felt when he recognized her at the bar that night, shocked? Excited? Still flustered? He didn't know......
He only knew that that night, when she quietly left the bar with Yanxi, he was inexplicably flustered; When Luo Shan confessed to him, his mind was full of thinking about how he should "recognize" her; When he saw her and Yanxi's eyes full of tenderness, he just wanted to flee the scene......
It wasn't until that time when he kissed her on the spur of the moment in his room that he understood his heart, and the chagrin that he didn't recognize her sooner, a minute earlier, or even a second earlier, occupied his mind...... He no longer had the courage to tell her that he was the "little ghost". The boy who has published articles since he was a child, and his pen name is "Little Ghost".
He knew that she didn't like him. Even hate him. That's right, his "history of abusive love" has long been spread all over Xida, the biggest difference between him and Yanxi is in the attitude towards feelings, she doesn't like herself, it is reasonable, this is a comfort to herself......
Yanxi can reject women thousands of miles away, making those girls who are obsessed with him shy away. And Xie Jingchen always needs a fake girlfriend to be the shield of his love.
At Western University, every once in a while, a girl would confess to himself, and he always sneered at these girls who only liked their appearance, and even disgusted.
Everyone thought that he and Han Yun were once a couple. But in fact, he neither liked Han Yun nor accepted her feelings, but Han Yun chased him too hard, he couldn't hide, and finally he simply didn't hide. Later, he found out that Han Yun actually blocked a large wave of women's "harassment" for himself. Later, Han Yun took the initiative to quit, and his hard days came again...... Confession, backward chase, blocking the road...... He is overwhelmed, but there will always be people who will retreat.
But like Luo Shan, under his own ignorance and clear refusal, he insisted on chasing him for two years, he was indeed a little overwhelmed, if it wasn't for the end of last semester, she said those words in tears in the school milk tea shop, he really wouldn't have acted in this scene with her.
Yes, he just cooperated with her in a play, duration: one semester. She said: Please, let me have a little self-esteem at school, I don't want to be pointed at, there is nothing I can't get from childhood to adulthood, and love, I can't get it. I know that you don't love me, but as long as I see you and can get close to you, I will be content. If you keep rejecting me from thousands of miles away, I don't know how I will complete my studies at Western University. Think of it as a little bit of beauty for my college career, okay?
In Jingchen's heart, if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it, and he will never go against his heart to start a relationship. But now, he actually agreed to her, in his impression, Luo Shan is a very simple girl, and she is also very stubborn, and she is persistent and stubborn towards a person. She also wants face, love and self-esteem, and she values self-esteem. He could sometimes find his own shadow in her, so he understood her, and at the same time relented.
He agreed to her, thinking that he could only restore the self-esteem she had lost due to the failure of the confession. He didn't think that he would owe her more, this matter, whether he owes consideration or soft-heartedness, he also has a little selfishness, that is, there is someone pretending to be his girlfriend, he can avoid other girls chasing after him. It's also to divert his attention from "her". He met her, but couldn't muster up the courage to tell her. How embarrassed he was! Strong self-esteem tells yourself that this relationship should be cut off as soon as possible.
But just now, the moment he saw her, his heart still trembled.
