Chapter 35: Meet Shuangshuang
It was the first day of school, and I endured the torture of my aunt and finally moved my luggage back to the dormitory. The dormitory was a quadruple room, and there was no one when I arrived, and the bedding on the opposite bed was littered and unbunked. I simply cleaned up and went downstairs with my satchel on my back.
This university has a long history and a quiet environment, with tall academic buildings and old pine trees, which is really a perfect combination of modern and classical. I walked all the way and saw the laboratory building, the comprehensive building, the science and technology building, the library, the restaurant, ...... The campus was bustling with people, the faces of the new students were full of immaturity and confusion, and the old students hurried through with a few books under their arms.
I walked aimlessly, slowly getting acquainted with the school environment. It's already past 12 o'clock when I look at the watch, I have to find a place to pay respects to my five internal organs temple, the school cafeteria is too crowded, and more than half of them are parents of new students. I had to walk out of the school gate and catch a glimpse of a store called "Green Light Forest" across the street from the school. There were four floors of green glass doors, and out of it were men and women who looked like students, and I walked in half puzzled and half curious.
This is not a simple bar, the first floor is a bar, the second floor is a restaurant, the third and fourth floors are accommodation, and the underground is mainly entertainment, there are video games, billiards...... Regardless of the tier, consumers are almost always students in our schools. After a closer look at this store, I can't help but admire the creativity of this owner, from the decoration of the environment to the food and wine, all of which are in line with the aesthetics of our age.
I casually ordered a plate of egg fried rice and was eating it when suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder from behind, "Hey! ”
I turned my head, but there was no one.
"I'm here!" The owner of the voice sat across from me.
I looked up, the sun was streaming in through the window, and my eyes narrowed into a line. The light files away the sharp corners, leaving a dull and blurry sense of light. In front of me was a girl's face that I had never seen before, but the thin face was oily, the short yellow hair was messy like a nest of straw, and the bags under the eyes were very heavy, as if I hadn't slept for a long time.
"You are?" I tried to see if there was such a person in my memory.
"You're a student at the school opposite, right?" She didn't say anything at all, and greeted her generously.
I nodded. She immediately smiled like a flower, "Great, sisters, we are alumni!" ”
I was still confused for a while, looking at her thin lips one by one, only to see her dancing excitedly, speaking in a low tone, as if she was reciting poetry, as for the content, I only faintly heard what "game", "magic bead", "life hangs by a thread"...... These kinds of weird words. I wondered if she had recognized the wrong person, but I heard her say very clearly, "Can you lend me ten dollars?" ”
My first instinct was to be a liar, and I often encountered this kind of liar on the street who won people's sympathy with various experiences. I didn't want to bother, so I lowered my head and continued to eat my egg fried rice, but she seemed to have made up her mind to stay on it, sitting across from me and staring at me with those longing eyes.
The originally noisy surroundings suddenly fell silent, and the people around looked at us with suspicious eyes, and everyone's focus was on me, watching coldly how I could continue to play this play. A few people's eyes gradually changed from suspicion to dissatisfaction, perhaps thinking that I was a debt escapee who had been caught. My face was already thin, my face was red to the root of my ears, and I had never been treated by so many people when I grew so big, but today I was blessed by this uninvited guest, and I showed all my foreign appearance.
The girl fluttered and flashed with her longing, innocent eyes, and the heavy bags under her eyes, which were a little funny. I was finally defeated by her, and I hurriedly rummaged through my bag to find a cute Grandpa Mao and handed it to her.
"Thank you, sisters!" She happily slapped me on the shoulder, and I was drinking water and almost choked to death!
"No, no, no." I hurriedly replied, wishing she had left quickly. But she didn't seem to have the intention of leaving immediately, so she took the water I hadn't drunk and drank it all, "Actually, I know at a glance that so many people are the only ones who can help others, don't worry, I won't take you for nothing." She said as she pulled something out of her big pants pocket and threw it at me, "Take this and look for me when you get back to school!" ”
He saluted me respectfully, and ran away with a puff of smoke. She gave me her school badge, and when I looked at the words on it, I couldn't help but laugh. I didn't expect to meet a person in the same class and dormitory in such a short period of time, which firmly believes that this is a kind of fate.
In the afternoon, I went back to my brother's house again and got some clothes. By the time I got back to school, it was already about five o'clock in the afternoon, and the setting sun had sprayed the melted gold-like powder on the whole world, and the sky was in chaos. In the twilight, the distant sound of the wind could not trace the clear outline of anything, and the tired birds returned to their nests.
There were already people in the dormitory, and there were two girls cleaning when I arrived. One of them, a little fatter, is called Song Tingting, who looks more stable, while the other one named Liu Jia is the opposite, small and very lively. I walked in and saw that there was a man sleeping on the bed opposite, and I recognized the nest of yellow hair at a glance.
It was almost seven o'clock after cleaning the dormitory with them, and Li Shuangshuang just woke up, her way of getting up was very unique, her left leg came out first as if to feel the temperature, then her right leg, and then her two arms. She sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched, glanced over to me, and yawned as she said, "Oh? It's you! Wait...... I'll get you money. ”
I didn't answer, but threw my school badge to her. She exaggeratedly "Huh? Yes? Yes? He exclaimed three times, and then spit out a very literary sentence, "Even if you look back thousands of times, it is not as good as the meeting in this afterlife." ”
The next day, the school held an opening ceremony. The opening ceremony of every school is boring, whether it is elementary, secondary, or college. All the students crowded into the open space in front of the flag-raising platform, and the seniors of the student union on the rostrum were busy setting up tables and chairs, laying out tablecloths, and putting flowers.
Cookie-cutter procedures, no innovation.
After the so-called principals, honorary principals, and directors each made a subdued and sonorous speech, and finally came to an end, Li Shuangshuang mysteriously pulled me aside and said that he would take me to meet someone. After a few days of getting along, she was really lively and cute, and thanks to her, I made a lot of friends in just two days. I didn't know who she was going to take me to meet this time, so I had to trot with her.
She still took me to this green light forest, but this time instead of going to the restaurant, she took me directly to the bar on the first floor. We sat down on a curved couch, and soon a waiter brought us a wine list and asked what we needed to drink. For those unfamiliar wine names above, such as Blue Rain, Long Island Iced Tea...... I don't know anyone, and the only beer I've ever drunk is the most ordinary beer. When I was a child, I saw adults drinking beer, and I was always curious about what it tasted like in the green glass bottle. Why do some people blush and have thick necks after drinking, and even cry and laugh? Once I was home alone, I saw my father's unfinished beer on the dinner table, so I wanted to secretly taste it, but I just took a small sip and spit it out, it was not the kind of taste I imagined at all, the whole thing that was neither sour nor sweet was a smell of horse urine.
Li Shuangshuang skillfully ordered two glasses of "Lover's Tears", which were blue liquids contained in very delicate wine glasses, and there was no wine taste when sipped, but a bit like grape juice.
"Shuangshuang, who are you seeing?" It's the first time I've been to this kind of place, and I don't feel at home.
She looked around with her neck high, and did not answer my question, but suddenly shouted at the doorway, and I looked over to see a student-like person waving at us. Shuangshuang looked quite familiar with him, and complained unceremoniously, "Why are you still late?" Do you want our two beauties to wait for you? ”
The man was also generous, clasped his fists and smiled: "There are a lot of beauties, forgive Xiaosheng!" Why don't I have all the drinks today? ”
Li Shuangshuang immediately looked like a villain had succeeded, and winked at me and squeezed his eyes. From what they said, I realized that the last time Li Shuangshuang asked me to borrow money, it was because I wanted to play a video game with this game called Shen Nuo. Coincidentally, this Shen Nuo is also from the Department of Foreign Languages, but he is not in the same class as us, and the two of them have to form a team, which is really "two swords combined, invincible in the world"!
Zhang Ailing said: "Meet the people you meet among thousands of people." For thousands of years, in the wilderness of endless time, there was no earlier or later step, and when I met it, I said softly: 'Oh, are you here too?' ’”
"I was scared that day, it was the first time I was looking in a strange environment...... But I couldn't find any familiar faces...... But you are different, and from that moment on, I found that the feeling you brought me was very different...... Lin Xing, do you understand what I said? Both seemed to emphasize something, and both eyes looked at me wistfully.
I came back to my senses from my memories in a trance, remembered all the things in the past, and said with heartfelt emotion: "Yes! I never understood why you asked me to borrow money that day. Actually, fate is a really strange thing. ”
I noticed a flash of gloom in her eyes, I didn't know what it was at the time, and I didn't know much later what it was that you had expected me so much to remember.
"You're right." Her voice was distant, as if it had traveled several light-years before falling heavily into my eardrums. I had never heard her express so emotionally, and it was difficult to calm down for a while, as if there was a sleeping seed in my heart, slowly unfolding into a white lotus and dripping with dewdrops.
The Buddha said: It took 500 times to look back in the past life in exchange for the passing of this life. Then, the woman in front of me and I must have been staring at each other in our previous lives. I've been awakened by scare for countless nights, and I've been so scared because we're all the same, we care so much about each other. I'm afraid that one day if she finds out about me, will she dislike me? Will you understand me? Will it be as good to me as ever?
The silence seemed even longer in the dark night, and after a long time I finally mustered up the courage to speak slowly, "Shuangshuang, what if...... I mean, what if...... One day you suddenly realize that I am not as cherished as you think...... What will you do? ”
"Huh?"
I cleared my throat, suppressed the uneasiness in my heart, and explained in a very casual tone: "I mean, if one day I do something 'bad', will you forgive me?" ”
My voice was small, but it was so loud in the silence of the night.
She lowered her head and thought for a long time, and said seriously: "If you dare to do something sorry for me, I will definitely clean you up fiercely." And then, if I can, I will try to forgive you with great righteousness and grace. ”
