Special Chapter 8: Chen Xiaopian's Midsummer
went out to watch a movie with Hu Mingjing, and Chen Xiaopian couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.
Now my mentality is very strange, the first love of the year, now I have a feeling of a third party.
The relationship between the three people is a mess, and they want to sort it out, but they always don't get it right, and the more they reason, the more chaotic it becomes.
Or maybe everyone is running away from it, deliberately ignoring the solution.
The movie is a girl's favorite domestic tear-jerking romance film, with no high-end special effects, and in the eyes of men, it is just a boring movie that keeps talking and crying.
However, Chen Xiaopian didn't look carefully, she was in a daze, reminiscing about that year.
It was like the early summer of that year, when he and Hu Feng were still together, that period of cherished but never going back to the ivory tower student years.
Like many young people, the two met in high school, and remember vividly that it was the height of summer in the south, and no one cared what kind of tree rustled with the breeze.
Like many little boys, Hu Feng was extremely naïve at that time, but he always thought he was very mature.
They speak deliberately loudly in front of girls, and they always behave rudely in front of girls, trying to get the attention of those crushes.
The two were divided into the front and back tables, perhaps because of the fact that the building near the water had the first month, Hu Feng had the most contact with him, and the number of times he spoke was also the most among the opposite sex.
Hu Feng is not handsome, just an ordinary student who looks mediocre and can't be found in the crowd.
He doesn't have much money, he lives on twenty yuan a day, and he doesn't want to eat if he buys a pack of good cigarettes.
But adolescent first love doesn't turn you away for these reasons.
Everything develops so naturally, and the daily companionship makes the two have feelings between them, but Hu Feng was more cowardly at that time, and he never confessed, and the two were so ambiguous.
My friends are aware of the couple's situation and like to joke about it.
Hu Feng, like other boys, likes to use various ways to attract the attention of the person he likes, and tries his best to express himself in front of her.
Speaking loudly, pretending to be chic, pretending to be deep, always making a fearless social posture when quarreling and fighting, maybe this is the normal thinking of that period.
In the end, the ambiguity between the two was well known, and Hu Feng finally made up his mind to confess to her.
It was an evening after school, Hu Feng endured the nervousness in his heart, and pretended to be chic and asked her to follow him to the corridor on the second floor.
Then Hu Feng confessed, just simply, "I like you, be with me." "There are no promises, no guarantees, and no superfluous words.
Then Chen Xiaopian immediately accepted it, just simply, "I like you too." "There were no inquiries, no much information, no concerns.
But that's the purest form of love, isn't it?
There are no more words, because it is never needed.
Love you forever, in my life.
It is the most precious and heaviest answer in life, and no matter what the final outcome will be, it will always be.
This young couple, like other ordinary students, doesn't have much money and doesn't have that much reality, all they want is to hold hands and go out to dinner, get out of school together, and go on a date together in some place where it doesn't cost money.
It wasn't like now, when you said you went to bed.
In those days, there was still purity and responsibility.
This state was maintained until the university period, and the grades of the two were average, and there were no top rankings, so they applied for the same university together.
Then Hu Feng felt threatened, because the university is a small society, everyone has matured, and there are more rich second generations.
Chen Xiaopian is very beautiful, but she is not handsome, this is a very realistic and worrying problem for Hu Feng.
So he started working part-time, wanting to have more spare money in his hands.
This is not vanity, it's just a simple insistence that a man thinks that his girlfriend can't be worse than others.
Chen Xiaopian has always been relatively precocious, she knows Hu Feng's behavior, and she also understands why Hu Feng is like this.
Perhaps some attentive women will pay attention to various details of the day.
So the relationship between the two has been maintained very well, even if there are many people who are longer than Hu Feng and richer than Hu Feng to chase him, Chen Xiaopian is unmoved.
Hu Feng also knew, and the more this happened, the more he felt responsibility and guilt.
That's the first shot of reality, isn't it?
Some situations are painful, but you have to take it for granted.
When graduation was approaching, the two did not usher in the so-called big breakup season, but decided to get engaged and married, and then go to Shenzhen to work together, working hard to create a small family of their own and have a small apartment of their own.
Chen Xiaopian's parents are against it, they think that the two are still young, and the decision they made is immature, and it is destined to be unrealistic for long.
It's just that at Chen Xiaopian's insistence, the parents did not screw their daughter in the end.
Hu Feng was hit by the second blow given to him by reality, the indifference and opposition of the other party's parents, and his inability to give the person he likes a grand wedding and a stable life.
Young people are always arrogant and always want to prove themselves to their elders.
So Hu Feng decided to take out a loan, he believed that he could work hard to pay it off, and now the most important thing is to give Chen Xiaopian a wedding and a warm home that all women crave.
But in reality, sometimes they will always slaughter you and cut you a few times, making you bleed.
Grandpa is seriously ill, the family is in urgent need of money, in this era when seeing a doctor is more difficult than dying, a serious illness is enough to destroy an ordinary family.
So Hu Feng chose to remit the loan to his family, and then he decided to end it.
He said a lot of ugly things, maybe it was to make Chen Xiaopian die, maybe it was to vent, but what it was no longer important at that time.
It's like the early summer, why come.
It's like the early summer of that year, why go.
Turning to leave, Chen Xiaopian knew that he must be crying at this moment, because he was crying too.
But she understood what he was for, and he understood that she knew herself.
I used you to turn around and leave, and I used my whole life to forget.
And when we say goodbye, it seems like a lifetime away, everyone has changed, but some things have not changed in the slightest.
In the summer of that year, with endless thoughts about a man, I went to Shenzhen as agreed, although I was already single at the moment.
In the summer of that year, Hu Feng left his hometown in the north again, got on the southbound train, and went to Shenzhen as agreed, just hoping to see the woman again on the street corner one day.
Everything was like the early summer of that day, like the confession that day, like the pure promise that didn't need to say much.
Goodbye, my dearest.
Then come back, come back, there are still people waiting for you, have you forgotten what happened in the summer?
Then don't go, stay, the outside world is too complicated, have you let go of what happened in the summer.
In that cold and bustling steel jungle, once a young man, will you still think of me?
But fate is disobedient and always urges people to grow up.
All that remains is the midsummer of the year.
