At five o'clock in the afternoon, the school seemed a little bleak, and the melodious bells echoed everywhere in the school, reminding the students who were still in school.

The sunset reflected in the blank space of the sky, lit up half of the sky, dotted with the occasional drifting clouds, which was particularly spectacular, through the classroom window, dripping on the desk of good luck.

With a "snap", the sound of a pencil breaking broke the silence.

In a vacant classroom, three boys were surrounding a girl, as if watching the excitement around the little girl's desk.

"Crybaby."

"It's really useless, didn't you accidentally break your pencil? The big deal is to buy you one. ”

"That's it, let's go!"

As the voices of several boys faded away, the girl slowly stopped her tears, looked at the broken pencil in front of her, and silently put it into the pen box.

Then he raised his head, and the sunset shone on the little girl's cheeks, and the tears reflected were beautiful and desolate.

Because of the introvert since childhood, and the character of crying when encountering something, the girl has no friends around her, in the world of children, making friends is the active party invites the passive party, if the other party nods and agrees, then we are bosom friends.

But the little girl herself has the factor that makes her nervous when she sees others, which leads to the instinct of protection when others invite her, and she will subconsciously reject others.

Although it was not the original intention, but refusing is refusal, even if you regret it afterwards, it can't change anything, and over time, the little girl gradually becomes withdrawn in the class.

Some bold boys will occasionally come to tease her, such as grabbing her hair, or taking her things and showing them off in front of her.

Although the little girl knew that this was a way for boys to tease girls, especially the girls she liked, she didn't have the courage to stand up and chase them out, and the way she played with the boys was unimaginable in her eyes.

So, unable to respond, her only choice was to cry, as if she was very vulnerable to injury, as long as she felt a little grievance in her heart, tears couldn't stop flowing out.

It's not to blame anyone else, it's only to blame herself for being too useless, so even if the three boys just broke their pencils, she wasn't angry with them.

Today, it's another day when I haven't made friends, and although my parents often tell me about it, I can't do anything about it.

I wanted to sigh, but because I had just cried, my voice turned into a crying voice.

Quickly stop the current voice, the little girl pinched her nose a few times, then reluctantly changed her voice, by the way, to the window, look at her little face, hoping not to be seen crying, otherwise if you go back with red eyes, Mom and Dad will nag again.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of quarrel outside the classroom.

The little girl, who was a little frightened, hurriedly sat down in her seat again, not daring to look out, but the sound of the quarrel seemed to be getting closer and closer, which made the little girl more and more nervous.

Don't come to find yourself! The little girl prayed, but the owner of the voice seemed to have really come looking for her, and besides, the people who came were the three boys just now.

"...... now, what can I do?"

"Hey, why do you look like you have a bad mouth, why don't you apologize to others quickly?"

However, the difference is that there is a boy with a wooden stick behind him, and from the appearance, he is not from the class.

Just when the little girl was stunned, the three boys had already been driven into the classroom.

The boy with the wooden stick slammed the desk, and the screeching sound startled the little girl.

"Why are you still stunned? Why don't you apologize quickly? ”

"Yes, yes...... I'm sorry. ”

The boys gritted their teeth and were very unconvinced by the boys' threats. But because of the weapons in his hands, the three of them can only apologize, in their world, whoever has the courage to take a weapon is a ruthless person.

“……”

Although she was a little scared, but more surprised, the little girl looked at the three people who were apologizing to herself, at this time she couldn't imagine that they were still showing off their might in front of her just now.

"No ,,, no off,"

Seeing the three of them apologize, the little girl was a little uncomfortable and wanted them to stop apologizing, but before she could say "It's okay", the fierce boy said again,

"Okay, you guys can get out, if I see you bullying her again next time, hum."

"Yes, yes."

While nodding, the three of them retreated to the door, and when they finally reached the door, the three of them nodded to each other tacitly, and then stuck out their tongues at the boy at the same time to show their disdain.

"Hey, you guys who don't know what to do."

Seeing the movements of the three of them, the boy was about to rush out and teach them a lesson, but the three of them had already chosen the location to escape, and the kung fu disappeared as soon as they slipped away.

"Damn, the next time I meet them, I must teach them a good lesson."

Without getting angry, the boy could only let go of the cruel words in indignation, and then threw the stick aside.

Looking at such a vicious boy, the little girl didn't dare to move, although he asked them to come back and apologize, but I don't know if she would also bully herself, so now she can only choose to stay where she is and wait for his fall.

"Hey, are you alright?"

was suddenly questioned, which made the girl a little flattered, and hurriedly replied,

"I didn't ...... It's all right,"

"You don't have to be afraid," looked like the girl was about to cry, the boy looked a little big, and he didn't seem to do anything, why were he so afraid of me?

"I'm not a bad person."

“……”

With that, the two of them looked at the wooden sticks on the ground at the same time...... It seems that the problem of bad guys is unreasonable!

There's no way, since it can't be explained, let's change the way.

"Well, that, I'm from the third class next door, my name is Lin Xiang."

He stretched out his hand to the girl, but the girl didn't respond, just clasped her hands and lowered her head, not daring to look at the boy.

“…… Hey, I was angry for you just now, didn't you even introduce yourself? ”

"I ......"

was reminded by the boy like this, the girl's face instantly turned red, it was not that she didn't want to introduce herself, but she didn't dare.

"I ......"

"Me?"

"I am ......"

"Huh?"

The girl's words were sloppy, and she wanted to say it several times, but she was held back, and the boy's emotions were driven a few times, and she was also a little deflated. And looking at her appearance, she is quite comfortable.

"Okay~~" In the end, the boy could only wave his hand and prepare to leave the classroom.

"Since you don't want to say it, don't say it, I'll go first, you be careful yourself."

"I ...... My name is Li Fanzhu. ”

"Huh?" The boys, who were about to leave, couldn't help but turn back after hearing the girl's almost yelling voice. head

Looking at the red-faced girl, "You mean, Li Fanzhu?" ”

It was the first time she called her name so loudly, and the girl covered her face shyly.

I didn't know where I got such courage just now, but I actually shouted out. This, it should be the first time!

"Hmm!" The girl replied,

However, even if he covered his face, he still nodded there, so cute but a little silly and cute that the boy couldn't help but laugh.

"Li Fanzhu, a nice name, I thought you were embarrassed to say it because the name was too ugly!"

"I ...... Actually, I am,"

seems to know the characteristics of the girl's stammering, and the boy doesn't bother to wait for her.

"Okay, then that's it, it's too late, I'll go back first, from now on, we will be friends!"

"Friends...... Friends? ”

Familiar and unfamiliar words, which made the girl a little stunned.

That is, do I have friends from today onwards?

Looking at the boy named Lin Xiang in front of her, the girl suddenly felt as if something had touched her heart, making it beat wildly.

The beating melody drove the surrounding scenery, and the lower and lower sunset had already fallen from the desk, drawing a red line between the two, like the Milky Way.

……

Since then, the two have become friends in name.

Why is it said to be a nominal friend, because even though Li Fanzhu has promised Lin Xiang to be his friend, Li Fanzhu still can't let go. Whether it was on the way home together or when they met at school, Li Fanzhu kept his distance intentionally or unintentionally.

Although I want to get closer, when I want to take a step forward, I can't help but have my heart beating faster, and I will blush, and my body in this situation is not under my control at all.

As for Lin Xiang, although he felt a little strange at first, and he didn't understand Li Fanzhu's distance that was not far or close, but as time went by, Lin Xiang silently accepted this setting.

After becoming friends with Lin Xiang, Li Fanzhu gradually became cheerful and began to try to become friends with others, although he was still not very open, but he was still much better than before.

And the reason why Li Fanzhu did this is also because Lin Xiang has many friends around him, and Lin Xiang often gives up the opportunity to go home with others because of himself, although Lin Xiang himself doesn't say it, but Li Fanzhu also knows that because no one goes home with him, Lin Xiang will take special care of himself. In order not to drag Lin Xiang back, he had to work hard.

But what Li Fanzhu never expected was that it was because of his decision that the relationship between the two began to crack. (Let's fill this hole when we have a chance later!) ）

From elementary school to junior high school, Li Fanzhu, who originally thought that the relationship between the two would last, had obviously decided which high school to go to together, but in the last days, Lin Xiang suddenly said that he was leaving the city because of his father's work.

The situation came so suddenly, and Li Fanzhu, who was unexpected, ignored Lin Xiang for three days because of this incident, and it was not until Lin Xiang left that he began to regret it.

"Obviously, I can leave more memories in the last moments."

After going to high school, Li Fanzhu, whose interpersonal relationship had improved, returned to the past, but fortunately, he had a certain amount of interpersonal relationships in junior high school, so he didn't go back to before, but that's all.

I wanted to call Lin Xiang several times, but I couldn't muster up the courage, after all, in the last days, it was because of my willfulness that I had no chance to say goodbye. But the calls from that guy are only a handful.

That guy, don't you want to be like that?

Finally, this situation lasted until the third year of high school, and most students were under pressure in the face of the coming of the college entrance examination.

But in Li Fanzhu's heart, this is an opportunity, a chance to be with Lin Xiang again, if the two are admitted to the same university, won't they be able to be the same as before?

Yavin

With this thought, after struggling for a long time, Li Fanzhu finally dialed the phone number that Lin Xiang left for him when he was a freshman in high school.

“…… Feed? ”

"Hey, who is it?"

"Uncle...... Auntie, "It's not that stupid,

"It's me, I'm Lin Xiang's classmate, Li Fanzhu."

"Oh," was reminded by Li Fanzhu, and the other party suddenly remembered.

"Xiaozhu is you, I remember that you often came to our house to play with Xiaoxiang at that time, what's wrong, now it's suddenly calling, is there anything wrong?"

"I ...... I want to know Lin Xiang's wishes. ”

"Oh, this one," came my aunt's hearty laugh on the other end of the phone.

"I know, you want to go to a school with Xiao Xiang, right?"

"No,,, I'm not, I just want to ......"

"I know, I know, my aunt knows it in her heart!"

These words couldn't help but make Li Fanzhu blush, although they had denied it before, but aunt, she should have seen that she liked Lin Xiang a long time ago, right?

…… I'm so shy!

After learning about the situation from his aunt, Li Fanzhu began to look forward to the arrival of the college entrance examination, and silently made up his mind in his heart.

When he arrived at the university, he must show his mind to Lin Xiang.

However, none of this has been realized, Lin Xiang fell off the list, although the two went to the same city, but here, things have long been different.

I don't know what the problem is, maybe time has diluted everything, or maybe he hasn't felt for himself at all, the two of them now can't go back to the past, and the friends they say between them are really just friends forever.

He fell in love with the other girls, and I could only watch him silently from behind.

Although Sister Qin Yin reminded me long ago that a person who doesn't care about himself at all is not worth waiting for, although we can choose the person we like, we don't need to wait for someone who won't come to us at all.
