Chapter XII

"From now on, I'll be the only one in our family."
"No, I can be your family too."
The first thing he said was satisfaction, and before that we were talking and laughing in Brother Cheng's barbershop, and he said this in a short silence. Satisfaction is not crying, but a bit of self-deprecation, but it is even more sad, he suddenly said, maybe a person really can't bear it and needs some comfort.
After Grandma's funeral, he was busy dealing with the aftermath, and it was already a month later when I saw him again. Satisfied except for losing some weight, everything else is the same as usual, still smiling, but the tiredness in his eyes can't be hidden, and there is a dead silence when a person is in a daze, others call him, which can startle him.
Ordinary people's affairs are seen as ordinary, no matter how big we see, it is just a red and white happy event, the days are usually good, and the difficult ones are those sleepless nights.
As satisfied said, he has no family anymore, He Li and I are his best friends, friends are friends, friends are not family after all.
But there is also Fangfang, the one who is willing to be his family.
Fangfang is He Li's roommate, a very beautiful girl, and she likes online shopping the most, because she can see satisfaction as soon as there is a courier. Fangfang was satisfied for the first time and went to get the express, and since then it has been out of control, and after every other day of online shopping, He Li said: "Fangfang's living expenses are enough for her to shop online." ”
Most of the time, the things that Fangfang bought were not used, and some were not even bothered to take them apart, and they were all placed in the corner of the desk, making a mess of the table that was already insufficient. He Li told Satisfaction, and Satisfaction said: "Don't buy it, I'll come to see you every day in the future." ”
Fangfang: "Okay! ”
Fangfang returned all the unopened couriers to Satisfaction, and she also told Satisfaction that she could only open one a day.
Satisfied, I opened a package, but was surprised to find a razor. Satisfied: "This stupid girl, what razor to buy!" ”
"You're stupid! Of course they bought it for you! And what a slap in the face ensued.
Satisfied: "Didn't you say that if I have a girlfriend, I won't beat me." ”
He Li: "I'm waking you up!" ”
Satisfied: "But maybe it's really like what you say." ”
He Li: "What is a likeness, it is obviously it!" I'll tell you, this good girl can't be found with a lantern, and you'll have to take care of it. ”
Satisfied: "That's a must!" ”
Indeed, I was satisfied and later opened some couriers, all for him, including a boy's facial cleanser, a helmet, and a large couple's suit.
As for why only one can be dismantled a day, Fangfang's explanation is: love me less, love me longer.

It's Fangfang's birthday in a few days, and I'm satisfied and want to prepare a gift for Fangfang.
I asked, "What are you going to give?" ”
Satisfied: "Send a piece of underwear." ”
Me: "Holy! It's so weird, but it's your style, it's creative. ”
But buying underwear is easier said than done, but it's an awkward job. On weekdays, the shameless satisfaction was stunned to walk four or five times at the door of the underwear store and didn't dare to go in, the beauty on the billboard smiled very brightly, and it seemed to be laughing at him for being a big fool, but fortunately, the melon seeds were thick enough, and finally walked in.
However, the embarrassing thing is here again, in the face of all kinds of large and small female products, does a big boy look at it or not? If you look at it, it's a little perverted, if you don't watch it, what else can you do? It's not a big underwear store, and a boy who comes in is particularly obvious, and the girls next to him are laughing and afraid, and they are even more at a loss when they are satisfied, like a little boy who has made a mistake.
Fortunately, the smart and beautiful proprietress understood her satisfaction and stepped forward and asked, "Did you buy it for your girlfriend?" ”
Satisfied, nodded a little embarrassedly.
The proprietress asked again, "What yard?" ”
"Huh?" It's hard to be satisfied, he was speechless for a while, and finally said: "I haven't touched it, I don't know." "It's really not shocking, and it makes a room full of girls laugh.
Even satisfied with their own amusement, blushing and giggling, everyone's smile is no longer so embarrassing, satisfied and said: "The important thing is to dress comfortably, to be healthy, it doesn't matter if it's expensive." As soon as I said this, the satisfied image was decent, and the two cheerful beautiful girls in the store were also happy to come over to help.
The two senior sisters stood in front of Satisfaction, let Satisfaction Bibi, Satisfaction glanced at it and said, "It's almost between the two of you." Later, he told me with a smile on his face that the picture was so beautiful that I slapped it on behalf of the moon!
"That's the 75B." The experienced hostess quickly settled on the size.
The senior sister went into battle, got twice the result with half the effort, determined the size and helped pick the color. A senior sister said, "Buy black, black is sexy." ”
Another senior sister said: "White, white is small and fresh." ”
Now I was stumped by satisfaction.
"What color do you like?" At this time, the proprietress said with a wicked smile.
Senior sister: "That's right, you can buy whatever color you like, anyway, you can see it yourself!" ”
Satisfied, I felt deeply that I was teased.
"I like to be transparent!" Satisfied said.
There was another burst of laughter in the lingerie store.
Satisfied finally chose pink, although Fangfang didn't say it, but satisfaction from the things she bought online probably knew.
On Fangfang's birthday, we celebrated his birthday together, and satisfied Fangfang opened his gift in front of everyone, Fangfang didn't know the situation, and opened the gift box, I and a group of friends coaxed, Fangfang's face turned red.
"Perverted!" Fang Fang said.
Satisfaction smiled embarrassedly, and when there were only two people left, Satisfaction and Fangfang were left, Satisfaction explained: "Fangfang, I also mustered up a lot of courage to dare to enter the underwear store." ”
Fangfang: "What's wrong?" And you want me to praise you. ”
Satisfaction: "No, I'm alone, I want you to remember me, I don't want to die in your memory." ”
Fangfang: "It seems that your goal has been achieved, no boy has ever given me this when you are so big, you are really wonderful!" ”
"Hey, hey." The melon seeds scratched their heads and smiled from ear to ear.
Fangfang: "Oh yes, how do you know my code?" ”
"Haha, guess."
The lights of the evening street draw the shadows of satisfaction and fragrance, they walk by lamp by lamp, and the shadows of the two little people also follow the time and time, and the road is not dark, they are each other's lamps reflecting the small prosperity.

Satisfied with every street in the city, every time I go on a date with Fangfang, I am satisfied with the renaming of the road I have walked.
The Jinzhai Road at the gate of our school is satisfied to call it the meeting road, which is the road where he and Fangfang met.
The wish made by the Emerald Lake Satisfaction and Fangfang when they put the Kong Ming lantern is only known to the wishing road by the lake.
There is a stinky tofu road in the university town, and it is obvious that there must be a particularly delicious stinky tofu.
The door of Xiaoyaojin is a hand-holding road, and I am satisfied that I held Fangfang's hand for the first time there.
There is even a strange road, Fangfang said that it is a satisfactory road. Guazi also unceremoniously named Fangfang a second fool avenue, which is the longest road in the entire city.
Satisfied simply drew a map, only he and Fangfang could understand, every road, every landmark, every scenery has their love happening. The days go by, the roads on the map are getting more and more, and the city will eventually be filled with stories, yours, mine, ours.
In the spring, he asked a few of our friends to ride to Chaohu Lake to watch the sunrise, and I knew that he had a plan, and he said that when his map was full of all the roads in Hefei, he proposed to Fangfang.
A group of seven of us got up early in the morning, satisfied with Fangfang, Wu Cheng and Chen Jie, Li Xiang and me, we talked and laughed all the way, you chase me dare, it's really like a picture in a movie. But that's a movie after all, it won't tell you that you can ride a bike until your butt hurts, Fangfang quickly threw away the bike and sat on the back seat of satisfaction, tired she gasped and complained: "I can't ride anymore, my aunt can fly out if I ride again!" ”。
When we arrived at Chaohu Lake, the sun was already shining in the sky, the melon seeds were weak in their legs, and they couldn't close together in pain, and we laughed when we saw it. Everyone was tired, but there was not the slightest unhappiness, although it was late and we didn't see the sunrise over Chaohu Lake, but at least we arrived. I vividly remember the time of sunrise, we were still on our way, facing the first rays of sunshine, the breeze was blowing, and everyone's faces were full of happiness.
By Chaohu Lake, Satisfied Shan Qi knelt on the ground, took out the ring from his pocket, and said to Fangfang: "Please allow me to be your summer, when the summer time has passed!." Satisfied, stammered, and memorized the poem for several days, and finally only remembered this sentence.
Fang Fang said: "Don't talk nonsense, I just need to listen to the point." ”
Satisfied: "Fangfang, I love you!" Marry me. ”
Fangfang: "Okay. ”
Satisfied put a ring on Fangfang, and almost fell into the lake in excitement, and then took out the map again, and wrote a marriage proposal on the avenue around the lake where they were standing.
Satisfied said: "Now the whole city is our footprint, Fangfang, about Hefei I love all you." ”
Fang Fang: "I still want to go to a lot of places in the future, you have to draw a map of the world." ”
Satisfied: "Good. Satisfied, he looked at the lake in the distance, and he opened his hands and shouted indulgently: "Ah! Fangfang! I love you. ”
Fang Fang also turned around and shouted loudly in front of the same sparkling lake, "I love you too." ”
Satisfaction and Fangfang told each other love words by the lake, how empty the sky was at that moment, how far the wind went, how free their love was, like the cloud reflected on the lake, the sky and the world.

"Do you love me?" I'm happy to be satisfied, He Li whispered on the side.
I don't know why He Li is asking me this question at this moment, maybe because I am satisfied, maybe I am already ready.
I looked at the lake and couldn't answer anything. I know what kind of love Ho Li is asking, and because I know, I can't answer.
Do I love her? I asked myself that too.
I do not know. My heart didn't give me a definite answer either.
"Do you love me, then?" I asked why.
So, looking at the vast expanse of water and sky in front of us, He Li and I were silent. The wind blows gently, and occasionally fishing boats appear and disappear in the scenery in front of you, always feeling too far away, in fact, you just can't see it.
After a long time, I understood that we were silent precisely because we loved each other deeply. Regarding love, He Licai and I will not give each other an uncertain answer, we would rather not say it than make a mistake.
I took He Li's hand, to be precise, we all held each other together. When we go out for a walk and look at the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains, why don't we lean closer? It doesn't matter if he loves it or not.
"Didn't you say that the three of us single dogs were in the united front, why did I end up being a light bulb!" Li Xiang said to me and He Li, looking like he had been trapped.
"Haha!" He Li laughed.
"Oops! Don't do that, I'll have another one. As I spoke, I held out my free left hand again.
"Huh!" He Li despises.
"Don't!" Li Xiang slapped my hand away, but he didn't bother to pay attention to me.
So the poor ideal not only became a light bulb, but also became a three-kilowatt super bulb. We took a boat to a small island in the middle of the lake, in pairs, only the ideal shape was alone.
I don't know why He Li and I were as tired as a couple that day, what changed more was He Li, she either held my arm, or held my hand tightly, we were all calm, she was more like she made some decisions.
On the island in the middle of the lake, He Li and I walked on the gravel-paved path, writing footprints on the beach, we clinged to each other, but still felt far away, like a scenery close in front of us but unreachable.
She and I are both islands, separated by water, that is, on both sides of the strait.

That night, we spent the night in a small town on the edge of Chaohu Lake, satisfied with Fangfang in one room, Wu Cheng and Chen Jie in one room, and I and Ideal in one room, He Li is alone, which is also a tacit arrangement for everyone.
Li Xiang and I had just fallen asleep at night when there was a knock on the door of the room.
I didn't think much about wearing panties and went to open the door, but as soon as the door opened, it was a reason, and I subconsciously covered my chest.
He Li slapped me on the arm and said, "What is the block, it's not that I haven't seen it!" ”
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Come here!" He Li dragged me by the arm into her room.
Me: "Hey, wait, I'll get some clothes." ”
He Li: "No need to take it!" ”
He Li's room was filled with the scent of shower gel, and her hair was still half dry, wrapped in only a bath towel.
"What's the matter?" I sat on the edge of the bed and said.
He Li didn't say a word and pressed me down on the bed.
Me: "Oh my God! Not suitable, right? ”
He Li: "What's inappropriate?" Fair and reasonable! ”
It's all young, and I can't say no.
Lion lion, tiger tiger, monkey monkey, what the hell am I thinking!
I was a little flustered.
"It's a little embarrassing, isn't it?" I stammered.
"Sort of." He Li's voice was so small that I couldn't even hear it clearly.
He Li and I didn't sleep all night, and in a daze, I heard He Li say to me, "Thank you, Star Field." ”
Me: "Didn't I say you never have to say thank you?" ”
He Li: "Actually, I also said 'thank you' to you a long time ago."
Me: "When?" ”
He Li: "When I first went to school, I went on stage to introduce myself, and I took the bell to ring what I said, so you didn't hear it. ”
Me: "Oh! ”
He Li: "Goodbye! Star Field. ”
Me: "Where to go?" ”
He Li: "Go to a place without you." ”
Sure enough, the context of "thank you" and "goodbye" is too similar.
I didn't ask He Li, wasn't the parting planned a long time ago, not to mention that He Li, who is such a free bird, shouldn't be bound by me. For a long time, He Li has been accustomed to the cynicism of others, abandoned her inner inferiority, and solved the conflict with her father.
Two days later, He Li said goodbye to all of us, and I went to see him off, but she insisted on not letting me go. He Li said: "Star field, if we find that answer at some point in the future, it will be the time to say goodbye. ”
Me: "I'll find it." ”
He Li nodded, turned around and rode the broken bicycle in a chic manner, "Yo ho! She shouted happily, as if she was driving her own luxury car, and freedom filled her eyes again.
He Li said that she was going to ride all the way to the train station, and if that was true, I guess her thigh would hurt tomorrow morning. Some people's thighs don't feel anything to the touch, she only feels itchy, but the pain is different, it will be the same as hurting on herself.
I yelled at He Li's rickety back, "Eat well, sleep well." ”
He Li didn't look back, only waved her right hand, and as soon as she lifted the bicycle with her hand, she lost her balance and fell to the ground with the car.
I sneered and didn't step forward. This is the path He Li walked alone.
He Li still didn't look back, she got up and patted the dust, picked up the bicycle, and still moved forward, and in the back I could see herself bending over with a funny smile.
