In the past, I thought the happiest thing in the summer vacation was to go to Zhang Teng, and then plunge into the back kitchen of the restaurant his family, find a corner with thick cushions, and then nest in and hold a book to read, from time to time I have to raise my head to look at Zhang Teng who was busy serving tea and pouring water, when I looked at him, I would hold a bottle of Sprite and pour it into my mouth, pour my stomach into a cold heart, and then make a grimace at him, and show him that it feels very cool to look at him like this and I am lying here comfortably.

At that time, a girl would often come to Zhang Teng. Although Zhang Teng never brought her to the back kitchen, I also secretly saw the girl a few times, and she would always bring Zhang Teng some books, and then talk to him for a while before leaving. However, those books were all read by me later.

After the first monthly exam in the first year of high school, the grade rankings came out immediately after. There were more than 600 people in the whole grade, and I took the 309th place in the exam. For this result, I have a big heart, neither good nor bad, at least not at the bottom. But when I saw Zhang Teng during the recess exercise, I was still weak and ruthless, so I wanted to slip away before he found me. I didn't want to be a step too late, and as soon as he called me behind me, I could only stand helplessly, then turn around and squeeze out a big smile on my face.

He was followed by a tall girl, very pretty, with long hair and big eyes, the same girl who often came to bring him books. A small thought passed through my heart, is Zhang Teng in love?

"What are you running to when you see me?"

His cold look was really annoying.

"No, I didn't run." I pretended to be a hippie smile.

"How did you do on the monthly exam? What is the first place in the exam? ”

I thought about it, it's over, just now I was gossiping about whether Zhang Teng was in love, and I forgot to think about how to deal with the exam questions he was going to ask me.

"That's it...... That's pretty much it. ”

"How many times is it?"

I hate Zhang Teng's eyebrows the most, neither high nor low, and when I speak, I don't know if it's because he has no expression or because his eyebrows are too rigid, and his eyebrows don't even move, as if he is a cold-blooded killer in a martial arts drama.

"Didn't you also take monthly exams in your third year of high school? Tell me what time I will take the test first? ”

"If I tell you, will you tell me?"

"Of course."

"Ninth."

"All grades?"

"Yes."

I know that Zhang Teng studied well, but I didn't expect it to be so good, I was really angry.

"I ...... I'm just a little worse than you, so let's add a three-zero to your nine. ”

I said as I avoided his gaze.

"Did Xiao Lu take the thirty-ninth exam? That's pretty good! "The girl who was following Zhang Teng suddenly called out my name, and I was startled.

"Do you know my name?" I asked the girl in surprise.

She pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course I know you, haven't you read all my books?" ”

I smiled a little embarrassedly.

Zhang Teng introduced to me, "This is Shen Qi. I was in the same class. ”

"Oh......" I deliberately pulled the word "oh" long, long to show that I seemed to understand something, and it seemed to confirm my gossip idea.

"She can take the thirty-ninth place, she must have taken the thirty-ninth place,"

My interest in gossip was instantly suppressed by Zhang Teng's words. Zhang Teng really damn it, why do you know me so well, I really hate him.

The reason why I found such a picture in the depths of my memory when I was a freshman in high school. It's because of my sentence to Shao Yang, "Did you graduate from F University?" "I couldn't figure it out, what did he mean? Does he remember me or not?

After work in the evening, I hid behind the trash can again, just to see the back of Shao Yang leaving. But I saw the female colleague who came out with him, the more I looked at it, the more familiar I felt, and repeatedly looked up the appearance of this girl in my memory, and finally I found it, Shen Qi, that's right, it's her, the person I once mistook for Zhang Teng's girlfriend.

After some thought, a small thought flashed in my mind, starting with Shen Qi, anyway, I have known her for a long time, but I haven't been in touch for many years, and Shen Qi has become my best friend, she and Shao Yang are colleagues, so that at least the opportunity for me to contact Shao Yang will be greatly increased, and slowly, maybe I will infiltrate Shao Yang's life.

So, I started my love chasing plan, starting with tracking Shen Qi.

Shen Qi has a good habit, that is, every Wednesday after work, she will always go to the gym, run for a while, and then go to yoga or swimming, so I also got a fitness card in the gym she often goes to, and I will never be absent every Wednesday. It's just that Shen Qi is very focused on exercising every time, as if she has never seen me, I always feel that just walking up to greet her directly will seem very purposeful, and if she doesn't remember me at all, then I will be extremely embarrassed, and it will be counterproductive. So I created a chance to "reunite with her after a long absence".

There will be a TV in front of every three treadmills, which is specially arranged by the gym for fear that customers will be bored while running. Shen Qi is most accustomed to the treadmill facing the window, she goes there every time she comes to the gym, and on that treadmill she turns on the TV in front of her every time to watch a reality show. One Wednesday, I went to the gym in advance, unplugged two connectors from the TV, and then reversed them and installed them back in the wrong place, waiting for Shen Qi.

Sure enough, Shen Qi arrived as promised, and after she arrived at the gym, she first went to the TV set and turned on the TV. Since I've done it in advance, of course she can't open it. At this time, I happened to be walking slowly on the treadmill next to her. At this time, I stepped forward to help her, although it was not a hero to save beauty, but it was also very beneficial to our reunion. After I pretended to be tinkering for a long time, I deliberately said a few words to her that didn't match, and then switched the two threads when I thought it was appropriate. Well, the TV is on. She looked at me with great gratitude, then froze for a moment, "You...... Are you Lu Xiaolu? ”

I was so happy the moment she recognized me. I pretended to be a little calmer.

"Yes, I'm ...... You are...... Sink...... Sink...... Shen Qi? Is that right? ”

"That's right!"

"Ahh I haven't seen each other in years. You're so pretty! ”

I swear this compliment is sincere, when I was in high school, I thought she was very beautiful, and when I saw her again after returning to Ting Nan this time, I really thought she was beautiful when I didn't recognize her and thought it might be Shaoyang's girlfriend.

"Thank you. You too. But you've always been so pretty. "She likes to purse her lips and smile before and after speaking as she used to, and she doesn't miss her teeth.

I laughed with her, too.

"Eh, you've graduated?" He then asked me.

"yes, just graduated."

"I heard Zhang Teng say that you are in the university of the F University."

"Hmm."

"Are you working at Ting Nan? Where do you work? ”

"IRS." I was glad that she finally got to the point.

"Oh, the IRS is across the street from our bank, is it the IRS on Xihua Street?" It could be seen that she was a little surprised.

"yes." I pretended to be calm.

"Ahh I can't believe we're so close! ”

I thought to myself, of course it's close, that's when I decided to get into the IRS after doing some research around your bank.

She paused, the smile on her face slowly faded, and said, "Have you been in contact with Zhang Teng all these years?" ”

"Hmm." I replied.

Of course I contacted, Zhang Teng's domineering cold-blooded killer, if I dare to cut off contact with him, he can shoot a cold light and kill me in minutes with one look.

"Would you like to go grab a bite to eat after your workout for a while? I'm ...... with him I haven't been in touch for a long time, so tell me about him. Her voice was so low that she could hear it if you listened carefully.

"Okay." Betraying Zhang Teng, it is my duty to Lu Xiaolu.

Seeing Shen Qi enter the little trap I designed, I was overjoyed. Although this is a small trap set by me, Shen Qi is actually a girl with a temperament that is somewhat similar to mine. But she was more generous and elegant than me. Walking with her is a particularly long-faced thing.

I've been busy moving lately, and I've moved some of the things I kept at home to a rented house. Although the IRS wasn't too far from home, I decided to find a house to live in. My mom is naturally a thousand and ten thousand unhappy. However, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win all battles.

"It's not enough for you to live in such a big place? Why do you have to move out? There's money and nowhere to spend it, right? There's nowhere to spend it, okay for me! ”

"Mom, you've asked me so many questions at once, which one should I answer to you first?"

"I'll have one question, okay? I just want to know that you have a good house at home, you don't have to spend money to rent a house if you don't live in it, why do you have to rent a house to live in? ”

My mother is really a Chinese teacher, although she teaches primary school students, but this language ability can't be covered, and she summarizes the three questions just said in one sentence.

"Mom, I did this after some thought. Listen to me. After saying that, I stood up, cocked my orchid fingers, and walked around the coffee table in a singing style, and played music myself.

"First, although the IRS is not particularly far from our house, I have to reverse at least three buses, although my dad works a little farther away, he doesn't have to reverse, one bus can get to the place, and he still drives! And, it's almost winter, and you want to watch your baby girl shiver at the bus stop? ”

After saying this first one, I went back to the sofa and sat down next to my mother, in fact, my mother was most afraid that I would be spoiled with her. I waited for a few seconds, but my mother didn't speak, thinking that this first trick had basically worked.

"Second, you see, I went to college in Jiangcheng for four years, and you and my dad enjoyed four years of alone time, how beautiful, as soon as I came back in this cold, and I had to stay at home and not leave, didn't you and my dad have this good time to be ruined by me?"

"What a good time, you girl, it's getting worse and worse! Besides, you can still live at home for the rest of your life, and you can stay at home for the rest of your life without getting married. ”

"Yes, my mom is right! I can't stay at home for the rest of my life without getting married, so I have to live independently now, and I have to learn to take care of myself, otherwise how will I take care of my husband and children in the future! Isn't it? ”

My mother saw that she had unknowingly fallen into the trap I had set, and she couldn't think of anything to reply to me for a while, so she had to say, "Love to move or not, when you stay for two days, you will feel that you have trouble cooking, you should think about your mother's cooking, and you will have to move back then." ”

"I knew my mom was the best." When it was done, I stuck to my mom and started to be coquettish.

Actually, I had already thought about it, and if I wanted to eat my mother's food, I would come back and eat it. And the purpose of my real desire to move out is actually very simple, I want to be closer to Shaoyang. The house I rented was in Yuzhuang Community, another community next to the Riverside Garden where Shaoyang's family lived. The question of where his family lives is not something I've tracked down recently, but something I already knew when I was a freshman in high school.

At the Autumn Games that year, I stood on the track and watched his back disappear into a large patch of light.

A few weeks later, I saw that his photo was posted on the school's honor roll, and Shao Yang represented the school in the provincial English speech contest and won the second place in the province. The champion and runner-up of the English speech contest were won by our high school, and the champion turned out to be Shaoyang's classmate Sun Yingke, who was a very beautiful girl, and she could see her calmness and confidence from the photos. When everyone was discussing what a legendary and beautiful girl Sun Yingke was, I looked at the photo of the sunny boy on the honor list stupidly, his name was Shao Yang, and the boy who made me see a lot of sunshine on the track and field was called Shao Yang, the second class of the third year of high school.

Of course, after Shao Yang's photo appeared on the honor roll, many girls in the class seemed to have a crush on the senior senior, gossiping about his story, his family background, and his sunny smile. I began to learn about the boy from various sources.

His family lived in Riverside Garden, which was the newest real estate in the entire Tingnan City, built by the river, with the best decoration, the highest floor, and the most comfortable environment. After the next night's self-study, I quietly rode my silver bicycle behind Shaoyang's bicycle until he entered the door of the community, I looked at his back and then quietly left. Although I think about it a little perverted now, it was a beauty for me at the time to follow him so quietly. Since then, I would go out early every morning, and ride around a big detour to the vicinity of the riverside garden to watch him ride out, and I followed him, not far away, not so close, that he could not see it, and I could see the light.

Shaoyang's light is always so bright but so warm. His brightest light was at the high school New Year's Day party, when he sat on the stage with a guitar in his arms, and a beam of chasing light hit him, almost all the girls in the school stared straight at him. He played the guitar, and his clean and beautiful singing voice slowly flowed from the stage. At that moment, standing beside him was Sun Yingke, she sang but didn't look at the audience, she looked into Shao Yang's eyes. At that moment, I felt that Shaoyang was so far away from me, not from the stage to the audience, but across thousands of mountains and rivers.

Finally, some of the clothes and supplies left at home were moved to the house in Yuzhuang Community. I sat on the sofa and watched these messy boxes piled up all over the ground, and silently said to myself: Lu Xiaolu, your new life has begun.

One thing I had to move with me was my guitar. I have carried it all the way from Ting Nan to Jiangcheng, and the same thousands of miles from Jiangcheng will bring it back to Ting Nan. I picked up my guitar and played it gently. The voice of the mobile phone to WeChat rang, and when I picked it up, I saw that it was a photo sent by Shen Qi, and the photo was a leaflet for the opening of a new store, and then she soon sent a WeChat: This grilled fish restaurant is newly opened, I heard that it is delicious, do you want to try it, by the way, I will introduce my boyfriend to you.

I quickly replied with one word: yes!

Since I Shen Qi "met" at the gym, we have been shopping together a few times and have eaten many times. At first, our topic started with complaining about Zhang Teng, although most of the time I was complaining about her, and then I got in touch with her, and I found that we had some common hobbies, and even similar eyes, and we began to listen with a smile. With more contact, the two of us personally cultivated a rare tacit understanding.

Liu Zhipeng is Shen Qi's boyfriend and her and Shao Yang's colleague. Although I had seen Shen Qi holding his hand while lying on the back of the trash can, I had not carefully observed his appearance. When I saw it today, I took a closer look. He doesn't look like a sunny boy like Shao Yang, nor is he handsome like Zhang Teng. He is not handsome, nor is he a masculine man, he wears a pair of black-framed glasses, and from a distance he looks a little like Hu Xia, very clean, and feels like a relative who is not far away.

"This is Liu Zhipeng, my boyfriend. This is Lu Xiaolu. ”

After Shen Qi introduced the two of us to each other, Liu Zhipeng and I smiled at each other.

"This shop is new, I heard that his grilled fish is particularly delicious, let's try it?" Shen Qi asked me warmly.

I nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The grilled fish tasted really good, and halfway through our meal, Shen Qi said to Zhipeng: "I forgot to tell you, Xiao Lu works in the IRS across the street from our bank." ”

"Really? I've heard it's a tough place to get into, right? Xiao Lu, are you particularly good at studying? ”

"Not really. It's just a matter of luck. "I've always been extraordinarily humble in front of people I don't particularly know.

"Xiao Lu is a top student who graduated from F University."

"Really? I remember that Shaoyang is also F-big, right? ”

When I heard him say Shao Yang's name, my heart suddenly twitched, but I tried my best to pretend to be calm and didn't speak.

Shen Qi didn't speak, and continued to eat fish with his head bored.

After a while, Shen Qi suddenly looked up and asked me, "Xiao Lu, do you have a boyfriend?" I've shown you Zhipeng, when will I pull your boyfriend out for dinner! ”

My boyfriend, my boyfriend is still developing!

"I ...... I don't have a boyfriend, so I'm waiting for you to introduce me! I joked.

"Yikes! Then I'm not losing. It seems that I'm going to turn on the mode of fire prevention, anti-theft and girlfriend prevention. ”

"Anti-girlfriends? What kind of girlfriends? Zhipeng asked.

Of course, I understood Shen Qi's joke, "Don't worry, I have a three-only principle." Only the law cannot be violated, only taxes cannot be escaped, and only girlfriends and boyfriends cannot be pried. ”

Shen Qi smiled and said, "Okay! That Zhipeng, let's see if there is a suitable one among your buddies to introduce Xiao Lu. ”

Zhipeng had an idea, "Shaoyang! That's what we're doing. Good character and dignified appearance. Isn't it, Shen Qi? ”

My face turned red all of a sudden, and I quickly lowered my head to eat.

"I've known him since high school, and I'm better than you this year, I said you two are as good as one person now? The two of you have been messing around all day long, and now you want to give him a big beauty like Xiao Lu as a favor."

"What? You still eat Shaoyang's vinegar! ”

"I'm too lazy to eat such vinegar."

I continued to eat with my head bored, and listening to their words was full of sweetness, and I was so envious to hear it.

"However, Xiao Lu, you know Shao Yang, and he is still a good person." Shen Qi still changed the topic back.

By the end of the day, the area of my blush had quickly blurred and had spread to my neck.

"There's a chance! Here's your chance! I didn't dare to lift my eyes, but I was embarrassed.
