Chapter 57: Confession from a tsundere man
Looking at Lin Zhi's back holding Xu Yan and disappearing into the crowd, I suddenly became sad.
Before the winter vacation, Senior Sister Xiaoying also asked me to send Lin Zhi a piano score.
No one would have thought that the promise Lin Zhi casually made back then would make a girl infatuated with love for so many years.
And Sister Xiaoying, who is far away in Beijing, does she know that the person she has been thinking about has already made an oath to other girls.
Or maybe she knew there would come a day, but she still deceived herself and waited for an outcome.
But who is wrong? Lin Zhi is right, Senior Sister Xiaoying is right, and Xu Yan is not wrong, what is wrong is just playing tricks on people's fate.
Lu Li and I sat on the stone benches in the square, waiting for the highlight of the night, the fireworks feast.
Lu Li saw that I had been sullen since Lin Zhi left, and frowned, "Lin Zhi is about to get married, and it's useless for you to be unhappy." ”
Listening to Lu Li's tone, it should have been a misunderstanding that I had eaten Xu Yan's vinegar.
I didn't want to explain, but asked Lu Li: "Do you remember Senior Sister Shinoying?" ”
Lu Li didn't know why I mentioned Senior Sister Shinokage, but nodded lightly and waited patiently for me to continue.
"Senior Sister Shinoying has liked Lin Zhi for more than ten years, and no one knows. But the news that Lin Zhi is going to get married will soon spread throughout the world. Shinokage-senpai is my friend, and I feel sorry for her for losing her love; Lin Zhi is also my friend, and I should be happy for him to be happy. I tried my best to express my feelings at the moment, but I found that I didn't know how to describe it, "I feel very entangled." ”
"What are you struggling with?" Lu Li tilted his head and asked me.
I don't know.
Maybe it's because of the education I received since I was a child, and I think that as long as I stick to what I do, I will definitely be able to get what I want. So the first person you liked when you were young will definitely be together in the end.
"I thought that many things, including feelings, would definitely blossom as long as they persisted. However, those so-called famous sayings and aphorisms have deceived us, and what 'persistence is victory' itself is a false proposition that fools people. ”
From this and that, I waited for Lu Li for seven years, although I finally waited for him to come back and found the answer to his departure, but two hearts that have been lingering for so many years, can they still walk together again?
"Not all perseverance has results, but if you don't persevere, you will definitely not see the final outcome. Maybe the last step you give up is full of flowers. ”
"Then why don't you insist on playing the piano?" I eventually turned the conversation back to Lu Li.
"Zhenzhen," he called me by name again, and my heart trembled, "at my house that night...... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hurt you by those words, I did deliberately avoid you because of a hand injury, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed in me like this. Will you ignore me because I don't play the piano anymore? ”
Many years ago, with the same clean and pure eyes, Lu Li asked me if I wouldn't be friends with him because he didn't like to laugh?
I shook my head firmly, of course not. Compared with the shining and dazzling Lu Li, I expect him to live a plain and happy life.
"This is a hurdle in my own heart, give me some time and I'll think about it." Lu Li turned his head and looked at me steadily, "But now, I have one more thing that I want to stick to." ”
"What is it?"
Lu Li didn't say it directly, he told a story with Guan Zi: "A friend of mine never goes to Disneyland, although he has passed Disney several times, although it was his childhood dream. He said that his father had promised many times that he would take him to Disneyland during the summer vacation as long as he got the first place in the exam. For this sentence, he dreamed countless times that he was laughing on the shiny merry-go-round, so his friend studied hard and ranked first in his grades, but his father always said that he was too busy, from the first grade to the ninth grade, after 9 summers, he missed the appointment every year. Later, he was still the first in the grade, but he never wanted to go to Disney again. Life is like this, if you miss it, you will never come back, some things are not done now, and you will never do them again; Some people, if they don't cherish it now, they will never get it back in the future. ”
Although Lu Li didn't directly pick it out, for some reason, I felt that this matter was related to me, and my heart became inexplicably nervous.
I asked, "So what do you want to keep going?" ”
At the beginning of the fireworks feast, someone lit a large salute next to us, and Lu Li's eyes quickly covered my ears before I could react, so I only saw the huge flowers blooming in the sky, and as for the sound of the cannon, it was blocked out of Lu Li's wide palm, which did not scare me.
I took my eyes away from the starlight in the sky, and when I looked down, Lu Li happened to withdraw my hand, and in the close distance, I saw that his eyes, as deep as the night sky, were as deep as the night sky, except for thousands of smoke and dust, there was only one me.
"I once made a wish for the fireworks, I hope that the person who will accompany me to watch the fireworks every year in the future will be the same person, and what I want to stick to is to be by her side forever."
The crowd around lit fairy sticks and handed them to us, inviting us to join in the revelry. I was close to Lu Li all the way, holding the fairy stick blankly but forgetting to wave it, only quietly looking at Lu Li's eyes as soft as moonlit water.
After a long, long time, I asked, "Lu Li, are you confessing to me?" ”
Gu Zijin used to always say that I have a high IQ and a negative EQ.
It's not that I don't understand the relationship between men and women, I can feel Gu Zipei and Pei Xuan's liking for me, that's because they are honest and understanding.
The only thing I can't read is Lu Li, who is like a cold and hot one for me.
But such a romantic scene was interrupted by Lu Li's sudden mobile phone ringtone.
Lu Li found a quieter corner and hung up the phone after replying a few words.
He looked hesitant as he walked back to me.
"Is something wrong?" I asked cautiously.
"Anne said that my mentor and her mentor flew to Dragon City tonight, and I might have to go back to receive them." Lu Li said embarrassedly.
"How did your mentor and Anne's mentor come together?" Because I was still in a state of blindfolding, I didn't seem to grasp the point of the problem.
"They're husband and wife." Lu Li glanced at me dissatisfiedly and said in an accentuated tone, "I said I was going back to Dragon City first." ”
"Oh, okay, it's ten o'clock, and I can catch the last bus back to Dragon City."
I accompanied Lu Li back to the hotel to pack my luggage and hurried to the bus station, where the last bus was starting.
"Ye Zhenzhen," Lu Li sat in the car, opened the window and called me, "I'll wait for you at home." ”
On Chinese New Year's Eve, my parents felt very sorry for Lu Li's temporary departure, and almost packed my luggage for me and sent me back that night.
After spending ten days of vacation in Quanzhen with their disgust, I reluctantly set out on the way back to Dragon City.
But my parents didn't have a reluctant expression, but couldn't wait to push me into the car, and told me: "Zhenzhen, you have to grasp it well, girls should not be too reserved, and they should take the initiative when they should take the initiative." Mom and Dad are waiting for your good news. ”
Thinking of Lu Li's plausible confession last night, my face burned red, "Okay, the car is going to go, you guys go back quickly, I'll come back to see you after the holiday." ”
When I was about to get home, I sent a text message to Lu Li, and soon received a reply from him: "I accompanied my tutor to Haicheng Medical College to visit and come back the day after tomorrow." ”
I wanted to go home and continue to ask him what he meant by what he said to me on Chinese New Year's Eve.
I thought that with my emotional intelligence, I should not be able to figure it out, so I opened WeChat and launched a call for help in the "Love Chasing Plan Group" of me, Gu Zijin, and Anne.
Me: "Sisters, SOS. ”
Gu Zijin: "Zhen Zhen, are you back?" I was looking for you on WeChat a few days ago, why didn't you reply? ”
Annie: "Yes, we've been calling you for a long time, tell me what happened in the two days that Lu Li and you went back to their hometown?" ”
These two guys automatically ignore my distress signals.
Me: "The signal in my hometown is very poor, and I haven't received it." Lu Li seemed to have said something similar to a confession, but I wasn't sure if it was said to me. ”
Gu Zijin: "??? ”
Annie: "??? ”
In the end, they felt that WeChat was not conducive to clear communication, so they unanimously decided to make an appointment to come to my house.
Half an hour later, Gu Zijin and Anne sat cross-legged on the blanket in the living room, looking at me expectantly.
I relayed what Lu Li said to me that night word for word.
When I finished speaking, neither of them spoke first, but both lowered their heads thoughtfully, and there was an eerie silence in the air.
Finally, Anne asked me first, "Zhen Zhen, are you the one who accompanies Lu Li to watch the fireworks every year?" ”
"I guess so." I thought for a while, "When I was in high school, I watched fireworks with him almost every New Year's Eve, but I didn't know about it after he went to the United States. ”
"The United States doesn't allow fireworks, and I promise he hasn't seen a single fireworks." Anne replied in the affirmative.
"Zhen Zhen, I take the performance guarantee of my Yaoyao firm, Lu Li is confessing to you. His tsundere man has been this virtue since high school. Gu Zijin actually took out Chen Yao's net worth as a guarantee.
Anne winked at me, "So Zhen Zhen, will you agree to Lu Li's confession and be with him?" ”
With Lu Li, that's what I've been looking forward to for ten years.
But now I'm lost in thought again.
How long is the seven-year wait? How short is three years of youth? Just like after a short period of love and hatred in the torrent of time, I thought that after the polishing and washing of time, those sharp edges and corners, crazy passions and lingering will be buried in the mud and sand, no matter how turbulent the undercurrent of the bottom of the sea is, the surface is still calm. But when that man appeared in front of me again, I couldn't help but want to peel back his spiky shell and break into his world.
I think Anne's answer is yes.
I am willing to be by his side all my life and watch the fireworks in the world.
(When I wrote that Lu Li and Zhen Zhen looked at each other under the fireworks, I suddenly wanted to sing: I confirmed my eyes and met the right person~.)
The next chapter, sweet confession, sweet out of your teeth~)
