Chapter 14: Small Gains
When I caught up with her, she just looked at me and didn't speak.
That indifferent look seemed to tell me that my existence was just an inconsequential person, or rather, just a glimpse of dispensable air.
I gradually calmed my breathing and followed her pace, faster or slower, or stopped. A position behind me allowed me to look at her and try not to see me.
"How long are you going to follow me?" She didn't look back, and her voice was unhurried, peaceful, and without a hint of emotion.
I didn't answer her, I just kept myself away from her.
She didn't ask me again, she kept her head down and called, over and over again, as if the other party refused to answer.
She found a rocking chair and sat down. It wasn't until this moment that I woke up and looked around, and it was this small park on the side of the road. When have we come this far.
I didn't dare to sit down, so I had to find a nearby marble to sit down and make sure I could look at her, and she tried not to see me.
She still kept her head down and called, over and over again.
While she was sitting, I didn't dare to keep staring at her, for fear that she would suddenly turn her head and pretend to look around casually, looking at her as much as possible.
After sitting for a long time, I guessed that she didn't mean to move, so I lit a cigarette and looked at the dim sky, thinking that the little white cloud could not be yesterday's.
"Is it good to smoke?"
No way! She appeared next to me like a ghost, and I was so frightened that I threw the cigarette directly to the ground.
"Is it good to smoke?" She looked at me and asked again.
I shook my head.
"Can you lend me one?"
I shook my head again.
"Are you dumb?"
"No, no." I was stammered a little by her sudden questioning.
"I asked you for cigarettes!" She accentuated her tone again.
"Can we talk properly? Don't do that, I'm really worried about you. "I tried to restrain my inner turmoil and let my words come out smoothly and clearly.
"Why don't you sit down and talk?" I raised my hands and pressed them down, giving her a gesture to sit down.
She really sat down. It's just that his expression gradually changed from indifference to wanting to cry.
"Uh...... Listen to me first, do you usually smoke? ”
She shook her head.
"Then let me tell you, it's hard to smoke."
"Then why are you still smoking?"
"When I was in school before, I was choking on other smokers playing games in an Internet café, so I smoked." After speaking, he added, "Smoking is not good." Don't think about smoking, okay? ”
"Poof~" She originally wanted to cry on her face, but she was afraid that she would be amused by the way I spoke, really, the way I spoke just now, I want to have more grandchildren and grandchildren.
"Look, that's right, laugh if you want to, don't keep your face strained, it's scary."
"Why are you following me?" She asked the question again.
"Big brother! Just like you just did, I don't follow you, I'm afraid you won't know if you're hit by a car. ”
"You're a big brother, you've just been hit by a car." Looking at her face that finally eased, she should have come out of something just now.
"Okay, okay, I got hit by a car."
"You, why are you talking so nonsense?"
"It's fine if you're okay. I hit it, I hit it, and I didn't lose a piece of meat. ”
"I'm fine, you can go back quickly." With that, he got up again and prepared to leave.
"Anyway, it's okay to eat enough, I'll send the Buddha to the west."
"I'm really fine, don't follow me." After saying that, he really left.
I stood still, not knowing what to do, just staring blankly at her back.
"You're going back." She took a few steps and saw that I hadn't gone back yet, so she shouted at me again.
Without waiting for me to say anything, he turned around and continued walking.
"I'll get a yarn back!" I said a word silently in my heart, gritted my teeth and followed her again.
"It's not that I'm okay, just go back." She watched me follow up again, a little helpless.
"You'd better go your way, leave me alone, just continue to be air."
"How strange is that, a big man following me."
"Didn't you just walk well?"
"That's different, I was angry just now, and I didn't care so much. Now that I'm fine, I think it's weird. ”
"It's the same, you might as well hurry to where you live, and when you get there, I'll go back, okay?"
"Then, then you, don't follow me, you stand up, otherwise I will always feel like being followed."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. I was almost scared to death by her words. It's really annoying to do bad things, and I'm always worried about being discovered.
Even though she asked me to stand up, I still kept half a position with her, and I always felt that this position was just right.
"Why didn't you ask me why I was angry?"
"Even if it's a colleague, I think it's better not to ask about personal matters."
She nodded, and continued, "Then you follow me without asking, aren't you afraid that you will make me angry?" ”
"Isn't it, please have a meal with you, it's so atmospheric?" added another sentence in his heart: "Unless you find out, I have secretly followed you before." ”
"And what if it's really because of this?"
"Is it so scary to have a meal among colleagues?"
"It's so scary!"
"Then here, how dare I invite a woman to dinner next time."
"Hehehehe, how many women have you invited to dinner?"
"No, you're the first!"
"Haven't invited a female classmate?"
"I didn't invite it anyway, does it count if someone else brought it?"
"That shouldn't count."
"Then no!"
"Is it so simple?"
"Isn't it simple to invite a woman to dinner?" After saying that, I feel that it is indeed not pure.
"Then you invite me to dinner, is it simple?" She tilted her head sideways and looked at me with a slight seriousness.
"Why don't you tell me first, how can it be considered innocent?" I was almost fooled into it by her.
"Hmm...... The purpose is not pure, that is, the kind that is not serious in the mind. ”
"Then I'm pure." I really didn't have any serious thoughts, I just wanted to fall in love with her.
"Hmmm! It doesn't look like it either. ”
"What would you do if I were like? I'm talking about what if I'm not serious. ”
"Then what can I do with a girl, I can only shout for help."
"How serious does that have to be for you to shout for help."
"Yes, a lot of them. You're not a woman, so I don't know. ”
"Is society so chaotic?"
"I think it's chaotic, it's chaotic, not only in society, but also in school."
I wanted to tell her that the school is actually not chaotic, but I thought about the emotional entanglement between my classmates Xiaoban and Xiaolu, and the school is really not bad.
"Am I right? Are you thinking about the mess you encountered while you were studying? ”
"The school is not the kind of mess you say, it's just that I don't understand it."
"Which ones? Say it and I'll listen. At this point, she was in the mood to gossip.
"You can't say anything about other people."
"And~ stingy."
"It's not a matter of petty, it's a matter of principle, and we need to respect other people's privacy."
"You...... Is it necessary to say so seriously? I don't know them, so it's disrespectful? ”
I nodded, I can't tell her about Xiaoban, after all, who knows if it will become familiar in the future.
"Okay, let's not talk about it. I'm here, you go back. ”
"This ...... Do you live at the intersection? "I knew I had only a short way to go past this bend to the school where she lived.
"Didn't you say respect for other people's privacy in your last sentence?"
I had no choice but to turn around and leave. Anyway, I already knew where she lived, and it didn't make much of a difference.
When I walked back to the small park again, I heard the sound of text messages on my phone.
"Thank you! Go back and slow down. ”
Looking at these six words, I feel that the distance that has finally been narrowed has been pulled away all of a sudden.
Sitting in the rocking chair she was sitting in just now, enjoying the cool breeze, it was indeed comfortable.
Compared with not making an inch, today is also a small gain.
Don't rush, take your time......
