My name is Gu Zijin, and before I met Chen Yao, the most important thing in my life was painting. But when I was fifteen years old, I met Chen Yao, and after that, the most important thing in my life was him.

I didn't like to study since I was a child, and my grades were always at the bottom of the class, but fortunately, I have a twin brother, who has no merit in my eyes, but the only thing worthy of my admiration is that he has contracted the bottom of the class all year round, so I can be lucky not to be at the bottom.

Although I didn't study well, I had a very high talent in painting, so as early as the first year of junior high school, I was determined to be admitted to the High School Affiliated to Longcheng Academy of Fine Arts.

Every winter and summer vacation, I would go to the studio to learn to paint, and the winter vacation of my third year of junior high school was no exception.

That year, the school girl of a certain middle school came to the studio, so the number of boys who came to the studio to learn painting suddenly increased.

As soon as class ended, those boys surrounded the school girl and asked for warmth, and in order to make the school girl happy, some boys even made fun of me.

"Hey, look at the braces girl in the back row, it's okay that she doesn't speak, but she's scared to death when she opens her mouth. Look at us again, we are light, and our teeth are more than 100 neat. ”

"Don't you say I thought it was a boy, you look at the pimples on both sides of her cheeks, and you can see that I have a dense phobia."

"That's right, it's still our light and delicate skin, this is what girls look like."

I turned my head to look at the full-length mirror in the corner of the classroom, and I saw the appearance of a little boy, slightly fat, with short ear-length hair, pimples on both sides of his cheeks, and his mouth shape became like that of a gorilla because of his braces.

They were right, I did look like a tomboy.

I pretended not to hear their ridicule, lowered my head and continued to paint.

Suddenly, one day, the teacher led a very good-looking boy in. The boy looked around the studio, then silently walked to the empty seat in the first row and sat down.

Unlike other boys, he always sat quietly in the first row, and as soon as the drawing board was set up, he concentrated on drawing. During recess, he always reads with his head down, never participates in the boring discussions of the boys, and occasionally when someone talks to him, he puts down the book and listens quietly.

I would always unconsciously look at his back in a daze, and when I came back to my senses, it was his side face on the drawing board. With a blushing face, I took off the paper, carefully folded it and put it in my bag.

In one class, the teacher asked us to draw portraits of each other in pairs.

Everyone quickly found their partners, and although I knew that no one would want to be in the same group as me, I bowed my head in disappointment.

"Hello, can I join you?" Suddenly, a nice male voice came overhead.

I looked up, and the boy was leaning over and looking at me tenderly.

I didn't expect him to take the initiative to ask to join me, and I, who is usually sharp at home, suddenly stammered, "But, yes, yes." ”

He smiled and sat down diagonally across from me and replaced it with a new piece of paper, "Are you ready?" Here we go. ”

I nodded, "Okay, okay." ”

In the process of painting, he raised his head from time to time to observe me, although now we only see each other as painting objects, no different from the still life we usually observe when painting, but I still feel a little unnatural because of his attention, and even feel inferior.

He's so good-looking, but I'm ...... For the first time in my heart, I felt a twelve-point dislike for my appearance.

After the painting was finished, he handed me his painting and touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "It's the first time I painted a portrait, and I didn't draw it well, please forgive me." ”

He deliberately didn't paint the pimples and braces on my face, and his painting of me was clean and fresh, and the whole person seemed to be full of confidence.

I shook my head and pointed to me in the painting, "It's a good drawing, she's prettier than me, and she's confident." ”

"You shouldn't know that the way you just drew was very confident, I just drew what you just looked like."

This is the first time someone has said this to me, and I suddenly have an inexplicable urge in my heart.

"What's your name?" I asked, but realized it was too straightforward, so I added, "I want to sign the painting." ”

"Chen Yao, dazzling Yao." He laughed, his eyes as if they were adorned with stars, and they were extremely dazzling.

I think it was the day I liked him when he said his name.

The next day, I went to the studio early and took a seat next to Chen Yao, but after waiting for a morning, he didn't come. Until the end of the course, Chen Yao did not appear again.

Later, I plucked up the courage to ask the teacher about Chen Yao's school and learned that he was a senior high school student at Yangfan Middle School. That winter vacation, I made the most important decision in my life - to be admitted to Yangfan and pursue Chen Yao.

In the second semester of the third year of junior high school, I got rid of my previous lazy habits, studied hard every day, went to cram school on weekends, and asked my good sister and student Ye Zhenzhen to help me review. At the end of the high school entrance examination, I pressed the line into Yangfan, and the moment I received the sailing notice, I cried with joy.

That summer vacation, I took off my braces, went to the gym to exercise and lose weight, bought fashion magazines to learn makeup and maintenance, and when the first year of high school started, the hair that had been grown for most of the year was shoulder-length, and the acne on my face had subsided.

But when we met again, he had long forgotten about me.

After school in the evening of the second day of school, I stood outside the school gate with my schoolbag and waited for my dad to pick me up, when I suddenly saw Chen Yao and a group of people walking out of the campus talking and laughing.

When he passed by me, I suppressed the excitement in my heart, tried to keep a calm smile, and mustered up the courage to greet him, "Hi, Chen Yao......"

My dad's car stopped beside me and honked a few horns at the wrong time, masking my greetings.

Then, Chen Yao walked away without stopping or looking at me.

Later, we met again at the city library. I borrowed a bunch of romance novels in the library that day, and when I arrived at the library office, I found that I forgot to bring my library card, I was reluctant to bring these novels, and I was too lazy to run again, so I took out my student ID, "Sister, I am a student of Yangfan Middle School, I forgot to bring my library card, can I press my student ID card here, I will send it back tomorrow after reading it?" ”

The sister at the front desk shook her head cruelly, "No, we only borrow books with library cards." ”

I picked up my sweetheart baby in disappointment, and a nice male voice sounded behind me, "Use my library card to borrow it." ”

I turned around, and it was Chen Yao.

Behind me was Chen Yao.

It all came so suddenly that I was caught off guard and just stared at him in a daze.

He put his library card at the front desk, then leaned down and said, "I'm also from Yangfan Middle School, what grade are you?" ”

"High, high one." Chen Yao was still as gentle as he was back then, and I stammered unconsciously, "Thank you, thank you, Senior Chen Yao." ”

"You know me?" Chen Yao picked up the borrowed book for me and asked as he walked.

"I know you." I nodded and followed him.

"Oh, really?"

Should I continue to tell him that I was the braces girl in the studio back then, that I had known him for a long time, and that I had come to Yangfan for him, that he was very good and powerful, and that I liked him very much?

"I ......"

When I plucked up the courage to talk about my fate a year ago, Chen Yao stuffed the book into my arms and looked not far away, "I'm sorry, senior sister, I'll go say hello to my classmates, and I'll see you at school when I have a chance." ”

I stared at Chen Yao walking away, his back was still so upright and upright.

yes, there's still so much time to tell our story anyway.

But I didn't expect that this story would not be told until two years later.

After Chen Yao's accident, I secretly went to the hospital to take care of his mother, but he caught him one day.

He called me out into the corridor outside the ward and said to me in a cold tone, "Don't come again, I don't want to see you." ”

He said it so resolutely that there was no room for reversal.

I was a little aggrieved and a little angry, and I stopped him as he turned to leave.

"Chen Yao."

He didn't look back, but stood still waiting for me to speak.

"I like you very much, I've liked you for four years. In the past four years, I have worked hard to change myself, grow long hair, take off my braces, go to the newspaper dance club, go to the gym, and try to make myself improve in my studies, all for you, in order to be able to stand side by side with such a dazzling you. I find all kinds of excuses to approach you, make all kinds of excuses to meet you, I know which T-shirt you like to wear, I know what snacks you like to eat, and even the way you walk and the shape of the back of your head. But I know now that the first thing I should have done but didn't do was to tell you that I like you. ”

I poured out the words that I had been holding in my heart for four years, and smiled calmly at his back after speaking.

Chen Yao still didn't turn around, but his back obviously trembled a few times.

"Thank you for taking care of my mom lately, and thank you for liking me who I used to be. But now that I'm in my family, I don't want to think about it. ”

What Chen Yao said is that he doesn't want to think about it now, so it means that I still have opportunities in the future.

"Although you don't want to think about it now, maybe in a year you will change your mind. Chen Yao, we'll see you there. ”

I swore that I would leave and leave, never seeing him again before I graduated.

During that time, I returned to the state before the high school entrance examination, I didn't go shopping or read novels, I hated to have to eat and drink and sleep endlessly into the stacks of books, and whenever I had time, I would go to the library to review until the librarian urged me to leave.

I think as long as I can be admitted to the same university as Chen Yao, I will definitely have a chance to chase him.

As I wished, I once again followed in Chen Yao's footsteps.

So, I met him again at the freshman exchange meeting.

As the number one talent in the Faculty of Law, he was a natural delegate to this speech.

I sat down in the audience and looked at the boy whose eyes were full of stars again after experiencing family change and despair, and I thought he was even more dazzling than the lights on the stage.

Before the end of the exchange meeting, there will be more than 10 minutes of free communication time for new and old students.

Because I accidentally fell my arm during military training, my arm has been in a plaster, which is very conspicuous in this small space, and everyone around me shush me for warmth, except for Chen Yao.

After the exchange meeting, I glanced at Chen Yao, who was surrounded by girls, and slowly walked out of the classroom with heavy steps, and after taking a few steps, I couldn't help but turn back again.

Then I saw Chen Yao walking towards me, his eyes fixed on the plaster cast on my arm, and said, "Your hand is fine." ”

"It's not a big deal, I fell."

"I didn't expect you to really come to Longda."

I smiled triumphantly at him, "Have you changed your mind now?" ”

He touched his nose embarrassedly, "Let's go, I'll send you back to the dormitory." ”

Later, we often went to the library for self-study, and he would supervise me to memorize the complicated legal terms. After self-study, he would take me around the campus on his bicycle and take me downstairs in the dormitory. Occasionally, when we were lazy, we would go to the small lake on the east side of the school to sit and chat, we would tell the stories of those years and get to know each other new.

Before graduating from university, I was the first in my class to pass the bar exam, and I was the first to find a job.

That day, I hugged Chen Yao on the crowded street and said to him happily, "Thank you, Chen Yao." You're the one who makes me so good. ”

Before I met Chen Yao, I was just a lazy, inferior, ordinary tomboy.

After meeting Chen Yao, I tried my best to become a self-motivated, confident, and generous Gu Zijin.

It's love that makes me grow.
