Chapter 6: Fluttershy
"How? Do you want me to tell you who you are? ”
“…… I want to know something I'm curious about. For example...... "I don't know where to start for a moment."
"For example, you are 22 years old, AB blood type, Aquarius, and like to read books upside down?"
"Turn the book upside down, I have this hobby?"
"It's your fetish, and it's hard for ordinary people to understand." With that, Xia Chen shook his head and took a deep breath towards the morning wind. Hands folded, upward, deep waist. Bending to the left and right, stretching all the time.
"I want to ask you how we met since you weren't my classmates, why you know me so well, and so on."
Xia Chen was thinking, still taking a deep breath unhurriedly.
"Come on, I won't deliberately drag it back."
"I'm thinking about it." After a pause, he stopped and headed at me.
"We met in the second semester of your sophomore year, and that summer, you started working part-time."
"Did you know from a part-time job?"
"No, we agreed to do something else, which is too secret for anyone else to know. We also have a lot of companions and friends. Working part-time is an excuse for not coming home. ”
"What's the matter?"
"It's important to keep it secret, and you'll know it when you think about it. Before we started, we all made a promise, everyone has a reason to work hard, and everyone is happy together. ”
"And then, why is it like this now, you say because of one thing."
"What we do is inherently dangerous, and if you have an accident, you will have amnesia."
"What about the big cat."
"The people who do things with us. One of your playmates with whom you have a good relationship. In addition, you have a lot of friends from school, so you can visit them when you have time. ”
Xia Chen told me that the reason why he didn't tell me the truth was because of the doctors at the hospital. They were afraid that if I learned the truth, their condition would worsen. The safest way is to rely on my own little by little recollection, there is no other way. Xia Chen followed the advice, whether it was my past or my encounters, it was all in my heart. Xia Chen represents himself and our companions, always guarding me.
In summer, the temperature is changeable, the surface begins to heat up again, and the sun brings warmth as well as irritability. I didn't go any further, maybe I should have gone on my own to find clues. I decided to go back to school early after lunch, and I remembered that it was supposed to be summer vacation, and there should be very few people at school. Whether you can find a friend who really understands yourself and can remember deeply in your mind may only depend on luck.
Xia Chen kindly showed me the way to change schools, only to know that he was also in this school, one level older than me, but before that incident started, he had never seen me, so he couldn't be regarded as a classmate. Big Cat and Xia Chen are of the same level and the same department, and the relationship between the two has always been very good. But now they've all graduated and are working together. The big cats aren't Bro's staff either, they're just a little bit related to the biological research organization.
It is a biology school dedicated to the study of all kinds of organisms. It is also the highest university in the guest city. The campus is surrounded by sycamores and aspenia, unnamed trees and flowers, and all kinds of active insects and small animals. The school is like a zoo, where different species of creatures are studied in different departments.
At noon, the sun was sufficient, and we avoided the sun and walked through the shade of the trees to the front of the school building. Xia Chen led me through the classrooms, introducing the teachers and subjects of each subject. The strange thing is that I remember the subject content quite well, and I can even remember the fragments of learning, but the people are very vague.
Xia Chen told me stories along the way, about some of our friends, about the scene of us returning to school together, and the geographical location.
"There, on the basketball court, we played together, and we were careful that we weren't tall enough, and we were always capped by the big cat. In the end, they were in a hurry, and the two of them almost didn't fight. ”
"There's also the grandstand over there, when Fluttershy has her birthday, and you say she's your best friend at school, and encourage a bunch of us to celebrate her birthday. We're standing in the stands, holding a candle-lit birthday cake, waiting to surprise Fluttershy. ”
"By the way, you mentioned to me that a mirror in the dorm room seems to be Fluttershy's masterpiece." Xia Chen sighed, "If you can meet, it's best for her to tell you about these first." She is a friend who has always been with you and has never left. Everything has to go with the flow, and you will only think of us when you think of her. But not necessarily, maybe we have more weight in your heart. And because of that incident, you have less time to spend with each other, and it seems that the relationship has faded. Xia Chen was silent.
He had been listening quietly, like listening to his own story, without any resonance, except for the mirror on the stairs on the second floor of the dormitory. Fluttershy is a squeamish and stingy girl, and of course she is denigrating her by thinking so, because she has good qualities. Her merit is righteousness, and all the friends she believes will guard against all odds. But that's not why I think she's a friend, she has a bigger merit and is wise.
Like a battle-hardened warrior, no matter what the situation encounters, she can find a solution as quickly as possible, and even if she can't find a solution, she will guide you to find it yourself. She is also very comforting, always making her friends feel confident and play to her strengths, even though she is a member of a weaker group herself.
It was the impression she kept in my mind, and I didn't remember anything about her appearance other than being petite.
It's already good, the other classmates didn't even leave a shadow, but she, I want to try to remember.
"307, the dormitory number I told you is your former dormitory." Xia Chen said to me before I left.
I went into the dormitory alone, and everyone who stayed at the school was working or taking a nap. Walking up the stairs on the second floor, I looked at the mirror and imagined the scene of last night, the moonlight shining through the window, reflecting on the mirror, bright, making the darkness brighter, and the sudden sight was even more frightening.
"Fluttershy, why are you putting a mirror here, isn't there one in the dorm?"
"Walking from the dormitory, your hair will be messy, take a picture, sort it out, it's more beautiful."
"It's a public place. Won't others mind? ”
"It's okay, it's just a mirror, don't others want to use it, maybe thank me."
"I'm afraid no one wants to use it but you."
"Yes, yes, yes."
This is our conversation when Fluttershy first installs the mirror, and at night I get to know the consequences of not stopping her. Every night after that. Sometimes when passing by, I would hear other people whispering complaints, but because I didn't know the source, no one easily erased this treasure mirror. Fluttershy uses it as she should, and after only two days, it's become a habit.
"Your mirror is scary at night, so take it off."
"But I'm used to it, I can't go out of the building without looking in the mirror."
"No, it's almost psychological."
"Lin Lin...... Really used to it...... Please...... Okay......" With a crying voice, Fluttershy turns on the coquettish mode. This is an invincible move, and no one can beat it. So in the future, I relied on psychological cues every night to get through this hurdle.
Spoiled ...... I don't know how she is doing, Xia Chen said that our relationship is weak, if we can meet, what expression should I use to face you.
Out of the dormitory building, I found Xia Chen in the corridor not far away.
"Trying to meet Fluttershy, but not daring to meet her."
"If you ask her out, you have her on your phone."
"But I don't know the password."
"I asked her for her mobile phone number, and she only gave it to you, not to strangers." Xia Chen quickly glanced at me, "Very rude child, right." ”
"I don't know what to say when I see it. What am I going to do. ”
"You said she helped you many times, if that's the case......" Xia Chen straightened up and stood up, "He won't embarrass you." I won't let my friends be estranged from me. ”
"You said that our relationship has faded."
"That's our guess."
We continued to walk along the shade of the trees, and it was not easy to reminisce, so we walked aimlessly. Xia Chen froze as he walked, looking ahead.
Ahead, in the sun, ran a girl. It looks so white in the sunlight that you can't open your eyes. The ponytail swayed rhythmically back and forth behind him, a yellow batshirt and white tight shorts. When I got closer, I was surprised to have a pair of big bright eyes. There are also long eyelashes that are fan-hu-fan, no wonder there is no one to beat when you are coquettish, and it is even more difficult to cry. I've figured that by the look on Chargent's face, she's Fluttershy.
I was still trying to figure out how to greet her, but I didn't expect her to give me a big hug. The hug hit me hard with a long acceleration, and I took a few steps back.
"What's wrong with you, you haven't come to see me lately, and you haven't even made a phone call."
"You don't know about her, you've been alienated by us......" Xia Chen mocked on the side.
Estranged, the relationship faded, how is it possible to look like this. Fluttershy is still like that.
"What's the matter, Kobayashi? You're not going to have any secret societies anymore! Why don't you add me every time! Don't play with this unemployed vagrant who doesn't go to school, it's going to take you badly. ”
"No, your dear Kobayashi is sick, ...... you" Xia Chen pointed at Fluttershy, "forgot!" I brought her here to think of you. This comes out of his mouth like a joke, and Fluttershy takes it as a joke.
The rest of the conversation was like I was helping Fluttershy tease Fluttershy, and she didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, nor did she notice any gaps in my memory. Summer and I were playing tricks on Fluttershy, and she was crying and laughing all afternoon.
Fluttershy stayed here to work part-time, more to steal information about our so-called community, and of course to accompany me under the pretext of part-time work. Because of our recent busyness and concealment from Fluttershy, we got into a verbal altercation that didn't reconcile until I had an accident. It's as if nothing had happened, and that's Fluttershy's magic.
Fluttershy's presence relieved the tension of the past two days, but it didn't solve my problem.
Summer says that there is something more important to tell me, and says goodbye to Fluttershy and returns to the hospital park.
"It's the thing I'm going to tell you about in the morning, about the vaccine."
"It's up to Brother Xiaofan to decide whether you want to use it."
"Yes, but I have ...... Other ideas. Xia Chen's eyes flowed with uneasiness, and he always felt that something was ...... There is a problem.
