Act Twenty-One: The Ferris wheel, his girl, and the gardenia

Chu Zihang grabbed the basketball with one hand, squatted, and took a deep breath.

He was the only one on the basketball court, with a textbook-like three-step layup and dunking the ball into the basket.

"Practice a little longer." Chu Zihang said to himself.

The ball fell into Chu Zihang's hands, dribbling to the midcourt like lightning, towards the basket on the other side, and it was a perfect three-step layup.

Next week, their basketball team is going to play against another school.

"Senior brother, take a break." A person who did not originally exist in Chu Zihang's memory said that she walked up and handed over a bottle of water and a white towel.

"Thank you." Chu Zihang said vigorously, he used his hand to remove the bangs that slightly blocked his eyes, and took the towel and water.

"Senior brother, come on next week!" The girl raised her small fist with a serious expression.

"I will." Chu Zihang nodded.

"Senior brother's reaction is too cold!" The girls all mouthed, "I'm asked by you, and I'm ready to show up for you!" ”

"And how can I be grateful?" Chu Zihang asked, he was really not very good at this aspect.

"Words of thanks......"

"Just let me watch a movie!"

The girl smiled, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled like a cunning little fox, and her chestnut hair turned into dazzling gold in the setting sun.

……

……

"Brother Hang! That girl is looking at you, that girl is looking at you! ”

The brother who played the guard stabbed Chu Zihang's waist with his arm and said that they had just won a basketball game with a foreign school.

When Chu Zihang heard this, the girl was wearing a purple short skirt and white high-heeled boots, she combed a high ponytail, and smeared makeup with sparkling small sequins on her eyelids, her eyes were so bright that the reflection of the sequins was drowned.

The girl noticed his gaze and lowered her head shyly.

Chu Zihang remembered that she had just danced and cheered in high-heeled boots, and she was still shouting his name in the stands.

"In the afternoon we're going to the movies." Chu Zihang brushed his soaked hair with his hand, walked up to her and said, "What do you want to see?" ”

"Hmm......" The girl scratched her chestnut hair, looked at the sky and thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Why don't you go and watch "Once!" It was just released recently, and I heard that it looks good! ”

"Okay." Chu Zihang agreed.

……

……

The movie is a little dull, Chu Zihang thought.

It is an Irish musical film about a wandering singer and his girlfriend who emigrated from Poland, the girl is married and has a family, the way she can be good to the singer is to play the piano for him, and try her best to get him sponsorship to help him put out a record, and then the singer finally became popular and went to London, the only thing he could do for the girl was to buy her a piano that she had longed for for a long time and give it to her.

The singer went to the airport with the guitar on her back, the girl happily played the piano and lived an ordinary life, her husband kissed her forehead, and the only thing left of that nonexistent or dispensable relationship was the piano......

He turned his head slightly to look at the girl, there were only two people in the huge screening room, and the light of the projector was projected onto the screen from behind, like a blue blade cutting through space.

He stared at her side face in the glimmer of the screen, dim just right, the light and shadow constantly changing and flowing wantonly on the girl's face, the makeup flickering in the corners of her eyes, and the carefully smeared lip gloss on her lips reflected in his childlike holes, which was thrillingly beautiful.

I don't know if she's so quiet, I don't know if she's asleep......

He recalled the beginning of the movie, the man standing on the street with a guitar in the middle of the night, singing a heart-rending song.

In fact, there is a lot of good music in the whole movie, but what impressed him the most was not the somewhat sad theme song "Allingslowly".

Rather, "Sayittomenow.

……

……

"Brother Hang! There's a chick looking for you! Someone yelled at him.

"Here we are." Chu Zihang raised his head from the exercise book and walked to the door.

"Hello, senior brother, I am the head of the dance troupe of Shilan Middle School." The girl stood there playfully, "I would like to invite you to work with me on an extracurricular essay on the theme of marine animals. ”

"Why are you looking for me?" Chu Zihang asked a little puzzled.

"Isn't it supposed to be?" The girl's eyes widened, "Senior brother, you are the number one on the list of "This Fang." ”

To tell the truth, I've been chasing more with reading books recently, switching sources, and reading aloud with more timbre,.. Both Android and Apple are available. 】

"The newly enrolled students saw your handsome and expressionless face at the opening ceremony, and they were all crazy like they had drunk two glasses of high-strength liquor, do you know?"

"I said, if I can do an academic paper with you, senior brother, I can show off and brag in front of my classmates like crazy......"

The girl's mouth crackled like a cannon, as if she could see her white soul burning.

"I see." Chu Zihang didn't know why, and suddenly agreed, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Huh?" The girl stopped, and there were stars flashing in her fawn-like eyes, "Really, senior brother?" Then you can go to the aquarium with me after school this afternoon! ”

"Why go to the aquarium?"

The girl laughed, "Extracurricular essays on the theme of marine animals, of course, I have to go to the aquarium!" ”

……

……

"Look, brother, that little turtle is just as stupid as you." The girl was looking at the little turtle and the little uncle who was teaching him to swim with a shell on his back, and she was laughing at the turtle's little tail through the glass.

"Senior brother, tell me about the habits of seahorses!" In front of the seahorse showcase, the girl looked at him.

【Dragons: Restart the New World】 【】

Chu Zihang cleared his throat and began to tell how the male seahorse put the baby seahorse in the nursery bag to raise her, which made her giggle all the way, the girl was very ladylike at first to cover her mouth and smile, and then laughed so much that she was trembling, and she was in a very crazy state.

"It's so big!" In front of the huge whale showcase, the girl was lying on the glass, and it took a long time for the whale to swim past them, and then the girl stared at it.

Chu Zihang was also watching, but he was not looking at the whale, he was looking at the flawless reflection of the girl on the glass, and the fine sequin eyeshadow she deliberately applied was shining under the reflection of the azure water, as if it had been in spring.

Her beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyebrows were full of smiles, bright and moving.

"Senior brother! Let's go to my house in the afternoon! The girl suddenly turned her head and asked with burning eyes.

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate......" Chu Zihang slightly unnaturally missed the gaze that met her.

"Senior brother, what are you thinking! It's just writing academic papers together! Don't overthink it! The girl's face puffed out in dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry."

……

……

The girl's family lived in an old house, and in front of it was a plane tree so large that it seemed to shade the sky.

Chu Zihang was a little nervous, he was invited to a girl's home for the first time.

It was too hot, the cicadas outside were chirping vigorously, the little stars under the trees were flowing with a cool breeze through the keyholes, and he was sorting out his bibliography on his desk.

"Senior brother, you can write it for me." The girl said that she spread out a yoga mat behind Chu Zihang, "I'm going to practice, don't peek!" ”

Doesn't that mean completing an academic paper together? Chu Zihang thought a little helplessly, but he still lay on the table and wrote hard, his pencil rustling on the paper.

In the interval of stopping to think, Chu Zihang inadvertently looked back.

He suddenly understood what the word "glimpse" meant.

The girl danced silently on the yoga mat behind him, raising her slender and white neck, the summer sun shined through the gaps in the dense interlaced branches and leaves of the plane tree, hitting her black practice clothes, forming patches of mottled color patches of light and dark, the wall creeper outside the window grew wildly, and the cicadas on the trees screamed playfully.

Girl handstand, leg crack, somersault...... Her toes touched the ground and spun lightly, her neck slender and her legs slender, like ...... Swans treading water.

His heartbeat and breathing stopped at the same moment, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, but his restless mind could not regain its calm.

In the end, it seemed that the paper was also completed, he thought, because there was a black swan dancing behind him.

……

……

The human brain is a broken hard disk that is easy to demagnetize, but there are some things that cannot be erased no matter how formatted they are.

At this moment, in the corner of Chu Zihang's broken hard drive, the images of the past woke up forcefully, rushing towards him like a tide. It's like a herd of wild horses trampling through the wasteland of memory, and it hurts clearly.

Basketball court, movie theater, aquarium, girl's home...... These images emerge clearly.

He remembered everything, but not the girl's face.

Who's who's who? He thought desperately, thought and thought and thought.

Can't forget, definitely can't forget that girl, he has a vague feeling that if he loses that girl, then he will lose her forever.

"What would you do if one day a girl you liked and liked you showed up?" In the church, the woman named Mai Jiude tapped him on the forehead with the muzzle of a Glock gun, and her tone was abrupt, "If you like anyone, go all over the world to find her, don't wait for her to come to you, she may be waiting for you......"

"Yes, senior brother, think about it again?" The two of them were lying side by side on the bed, and Lu Mingfei replied in the affirmative, "Like the head of the dance troupe?" Or a cheerleader? ”

Chu Zihang lowered his head, feeling that he seemed to have grasped some clue, and he clung to the line.

"Senior brother? Brother? Someone rubbed his head, and the girl asked in a somewhat panicked tone, "Don't scare me, senior brother, you won't have any hidden diseases on your body, no, what if something happens to me, do you want to find an amusement park first?" Well, yes, just do it, and then I'll say, oh, there's a problem with your amusement facilities, see what kind of damage has been done to my senior brother......"

Chu Zihang looked at his toes blankly, and the tone of the broken thoughts was so familiar, as if there was a girl who had also read it in front of him before.

The smell of a thin gardenia suddenly wrapped around the tip of his nose, traveling through a distant time, a memory imprinted on the palate.

It's like a thin thread that holds six years ago, now, next year, and the year after next or for I don't know how many years from now.

The girl's smile, the girl shouting his name, the girl bowing her head in the crowd, the girl and the many, many rambling words he had said...... And the girl's face.

He remembered the faces of those Mo Hu, all of them were so clear, stacked together, and became the girl sitting next to him.

It turned out that there was always a girl growing up with him in his life, hiding very close to him, but never approaching, never far away, he didn't remember her, he had to recall many things every night, but none of them were related to her.

It turns out that the three holy places of dating have already been to her, but she doesn't know.

"Summer ...... Ami ......" he whispered her name.

"Huh? Brother? Are you alright? Xia Mi patted his chest and exhaled, "I thought something was wrong with you, it was really scary just now." ”

"Natsumi." Chu Zihang was still calling her name.

"Senior brother, something is wrong with you." Natsumi narrowed her eyes and moved to the side vigilantly holding her shoulders.

"You don't really want to confess to me, do you? On the Ferris wheel? Seriously? What's going on now? Interesting to me? I'm sorry, but as much as I like older than me, and I'll admit that my heart was racing a little bit for a moment, but we've just met, and you want to attack me when you come out once or something? At least let's go out and play together a few more times, I'm really embarrassed......"

"It's you." Chu Zihang raised his head and stared into her eyes and said, Xia Mi's broken thoughts came to an abrupt end.

"What...... It turned out to be this ......" Natsumi sat back beside him, looking out the window casually, but her voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying to hide something.

Ten minutes later, they were slowly sinking with the Ferris wheel, and neither of them spoke again.

"Why don't you tell me." Chu Zihang suddenly broke the silence.

"Because I want you to remember it yourself, how can a girl mention such a thing." Xia Mi finally turned his head to look at him, and stared at those beautiful and agile eyes like a fawn, "What are you doing, senior brother, I remembered it at the first sight of you." ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know why,......" Chu Zihang said softly, raising his eyes to meet Xia Mi, his dark eyes, and the child's light was dark. Not next time. ”

"And next time!?" Natsumi is fierce.

Suddenly, he grinned and chuckled again, "Forget it, forgive Senior Brother!" ”

She originally wanted to tease Chu Zihang a few more words, but she looked at Chu Zihang's Tong Kong and felt that she saw that Chu Zihang again, it was Chu Zihang in Shilan Middle School, who was silent, polite and distant, and understood everything by reading books.

Just like now, it is as black as a dot of paint, so clear that it can reflect the clouds and shadows of the sky, and you can't help but want to stare into his eyes, which are lonely mirrors of the whole world.

"So easy?" Chu Zihang was stunned.

"Do you want to be criticized by me?" Xia Mi asked, the little demon junior sister with a curious look, "Could it be that the senior brother has any special hobbies?" ”

"No......" Chu Zihang looked away a little embarrassed, "I'm just very guilty." ”

"Don't hide!" Xia Mi stretched out his hands to straighten his face and forced Chu Zihang to look at him, "Say it quickly!" Why guilt? ”

"Because I almost forgot about you." Chu Zihang had no choice but to look into the girl's eyes, "Obviously, there are so many memories between you and me." ”

"Oh, that's it......" Xia Mi tilted her head, her green silk like water, "If Senior Brother really feels guilty, promise me three things." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." She smiled sweetly, "I'll tell you when I'm ready." ”

"Well, I promise you." Chu Zihang said softly, "As long as it doesn't go against my personal wishes." ”

He suddenly felt that Xia Mi's smile was so beautiful, glorious, his cheeks were still a little baby fat, and there were little tiger teeth at the corners of his mouth.

Happy birthday Natsumi!
