Chapter 8: A Misunderstanding (1)
The days were so busy, and soon the time agreed upon by Yu Yang and Xiaojing came. This basketball game is played between different grades in the Department of International Trade. In order to win the game, Yu Yang led the team members to train hard for more than a month, and at the same time, he also had to take care of the training in the school team, which was really lacking. He is looking forward to the end of the game soon, and he will officially confess to Xiaojing.
Xiaojing has always remembered today in her heart, and this afternoon was the first time she was absent-minded when she was studying in the dormitory. Finally got up to the time of the game, just as she was changing her clothes and preparing to go out, a call came from the dormitory, and her roommate Xu Zhen picked up the phone and shouted: "Xiaojing, your phone." ”
Xiaojing could only hurry over and pick it up: "Hello! I'm Lu Xiaojing, where is it? ”
"Lu Xiaojing, is it? I am Suning Electric, you have signed up for our National Day promotion specialist before, please come to the sixth floor of Suning Electric Building at 7:00 tonight for an interview. ”
"Today? Can I find out how much promoters are paid? Xiaojing hesitated.
"100 yuan a day, if you perform particularly well, there will be additional rewards." This salary makes Xiaojing feel excited, the family sends her 600 yuan every month, if she can do it for a few more days, she can cover a month's living expenses, and her parents can squeeze out the money from between her teeth every month, she always saves and saves, and sends it back to her home. But her mother felt sorry for her, and always remitted the money on time every month.
"Is the interview only available today? Tomorrow is not okay. ”
"I'm sorry, we will arrange an interview today, if you are interested, please be on time."
"Oh, okay, I'll get over it, thanks." After hanging up the phone, Xiaojing was very embarrassed, on the one hand it was an important agreement, but on the other side it was the foundation of survival, she had been looking forward to reducing the burden on the family, she thought that she would explain to Yu Yang later, he should understand. As soon as she saw the time, it was already more than 4 o'clock, and she hurried to catch the bus.
Suning is on the commercial street in the center of the city, and it takes more than an hour to sit there from the school. When she got in the car, she remembered that she should let Lin Xi go and tell Yu Yang, she didn't have the money to buy a mobile phone, and it was not convenient to contact her temporarily, but she would not increase the burden on her family because of her small needs. What's more, she thought of the missed call that Yu Yang pressed again, and this agreement she paid attention to, whether he also attached the same importance to it as herself.
At the moment when Xiaojing got on the bus, the basketball game was about to kick off, Yu Yang and his teammates were warming up, but his attention was not on the court, he kept looking at the figure of the other party's cheerleading team, but he never saw Xiaojing, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, looking around anxiously.
Because Qin Xue was late, she saw that Yu Yang's eyes were searching, and she thought she was looking for herself, so she squeezed from the crowd to the front, but unfortunately, when Yu Yang's eyes swept over, she didn't seem to notice her existence at all. Fortunately, she was good at self-comfort, probably because he was embarrassed, or he didn't see it clearly.
When the whistle officially blew, Yu Yang retracted his disappointment, he thought that maybe she was silently paying attention to herself in some imperceptible corner, no matter how good the game was the first priority, and soon he put all his attention into the game.
Yu Yang is always the brightest star on the court, attracting most of the attention of the female cheerleaders outside the court, especially Qin Xue, whose eyes always fall on him alone. He is so charismatic on the court, tall and straight, but he can dodge left and right so flexibly, the defender can always be easily dodged by him, another two-point shot, because the defender is fouled, plus a free throw. Yu Yang stood in the shooting area, his right hand flicked slightly, and a perfect arc of the ball "brushed" into the basket.
"Yu Yang, beautiful!" Zhang Qi said excitedly on the side. A group of girls screamed and applauded, and Qin Xue jumped up even more excitedly, as if it was her own pride and honor.
As the captain of the grade basketball team, Yu Yang can always drive the morale of the whole team, and the game opened with a big score without suspense, and the final result: 45-32.
In the process of the game, Yu Yang was focused, and as soon as the whistle ended, he once again looked at the audience with anticipation, but still did not see Xiaojing's shadow. He wondered, had she forgotten their agreement? Or is something delayed? He saw Lin Xi, and he wanted to ask her about Xiaojing's situation, but she was mixed in a group of girls, and it seemed a little abrupt to step forward so rashly.
At this time, Qin Xue approached Yu Yang's side, but Yu Yang didn't seem to notice it, as if he was still looking for something. She looked curiously in the direction of his eyes, but she didn't notice it, so she pushed him without care: "Yu Yang, what are you looking at?" Let's go, let's go to dinner together, I'll treat you to celebrate your success. ”
At this time, the only person who knew what Yu Yang was looking at was Zhang Qi, and he hadn't seen Xiaojing since the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although I comfort myself, it is just a meaningless unrequited love. Thinking of facing her, there was still an indescribable wave in his heart. From Yu Yang's eyes, he could see that it seemed that Xiaojing was not invited, right? Phew, he dispelled this idea again, no matter what, it won't be his turn anyway, he still has to be his happy fat man. As long as Xiaojing thinks it is good, he can accept it, and he will be happy for her.
After eating, everyone instigated Yu Yang to send Qin Xue back to the dormitory, in the eyes of outsiders, they were already a talented and beautiful couple. Yu Yang refused many times, but he couldn't help but leave the two of them after everyone left.
Yu Yang rode on the bicycle somewhat reluctantly, but Qin Xue naturally jumped on the bike and hugged him. He always didn't know how to face Qin Xue, she was not annoying, on the contrary, she was excellent in all aspects, she took the initiative to show favor to him again and again, but she never transitioned to containment, most of what she did seemed so natural, he had no reason to refuse her thousands of miles away. But when she got into the car and hugged his waist, he instinctively felt a little uncomfortable, it was a completely different feeling of Xiaojing sitting behind her. Yu Yang thought that he would make his emotions clear to her at this moment, but it was difficult to speak for a while, after all, she was here to celebrate her today, and he shouldn't have said this at such a time, so he reluctantly swallowed the words in his heart.
On this side, Yu Yang rode past the edge of the woods; On the other side, Xiaojing, who had just returned from an off-campus interview, was also walking in the boulevard next to her. Because it was dark, Yu Yang and the others didn't notice the passerby Xiaojing, but Xiaojing saw Qin Xue hugging Yu Yang so closely, with a happy smile on her face.
All this in front of her made Xiaojing's smiling face, which was still happy because of the success of the interview, freeze there instantly, and she stood there dumbfounded and watched them go away, only to remember the phone he pressed and missed at that time. She wanted to tell herself that it might just be a misunderstanding, but a girl as good as her senior sister couldn't afford not to accept the reality in front of her. On the way back, she was still thinking about how to find an opportunity to explain to Yu Yang, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she suddenly felt how ridiculous and redundant she was.
She went back to the dormitory and lay down on the bed after a simple freshening, this was the first time she didn't have the heart to read, usually she would read for half an hour before going to bed. She felt a sense of loss in her heart, she remembered that night, in the moonlight, she thought that he had the same hazy expectations in her heart as she was, and she even felt a little sorry why she didn't show up tonight. There are always people in the team who like to gossip about them, and she never cares very much, but when she sees their intimacy with her own eyes, it turns out that everything is just her own self-inflicted affection. Going to admire the moon is not Yu Yang's invitation, but the beauty of being alone may be just a small part of the experience of a public lover like Yu Yang.
These feelings did not make too many waves in her heart, after all, everything had not yet begun, she felt that she should nip her greed in the bud, and life had to go on, and gradually she fell asleep, and in the dream she was happy when she got the money to send it to the family, and there was a back in the dream that made her unable to catch up with her no matter what.
