Going back to the beginning, all stories have a beginning of an encounter.

When did they first meet?

Ask Jiang Limei and Ren Yu the same question, and there will be different answers. Ren Yu remembers clearly that it was the opening ceremony of his sophomore year of high school, and he took the stage to speak as a student representative.

All the teachers who have taught Ren Yu have said this:

Silent and introverted, serious in learning, the only drawback is that he is too drilly, not like a young man, like a little old man.

He is young and his mind is too heavy.

The speech was written by Ren Yu half a month in advance, and when he was still on summer vacation, he took it to the Chinese teacher's home, asked the teacher to help polish it, and then memorized it.

Now that he is fluent in the manuscript, Ren Yu is still not at ease, the opening ceremony began at eight o'clock, and he waited on the side of the playground at half past six, silently reciting the manuscript, over and over again, for fear of making a mistake.

Anseong is located in the northeast, early autumn, the first night of heavy rain, the whole city cooled down, washed away the last bit of summer heat, early morning cold pressing. Ren Yu wore the autumn school uniform of Ancheng No. 9 Middle School, a thin layer, and felt a little cold, the first thing he was worried about was not a cold, but whether he would fight with his teeth and slit out clearly when he went on stage for a while.

At seven o'clock, more and more students enter the school gate, first go to the classroom to put their school bags, and then go to the playground to gather.

The students in the three grades are distinct, and you can see it by looking at their appearances. It's the third year of high school who yawns with his head down, and the freshmen haven't been issued school uniforms yet, and they are dressed in all sorts of ways. The rest is the sophomore year of high school, laughing and playing, and the spirit is inexhaustible.

Ren Yu hid in the secret place behind the main/table, covering his ears and reciting the manuscript over and over again, I don't know how many times he memorized it, and suddenly heard someone shouting to him:

"Classmates, classmates."

Ren Yu heard it and turned back in surprise.

"I'm here, here."

The rostrum was on the side of the playground, and behind it was the fence, and outside the fence stood a girl waving frantically at him.

"Hey, what are you doing, I have called you many times and you can't hear me."

The girl tied a high ponytail, revealing a smooth forehead, a pair of fox eyes are crooked and smart, she speaks complaining, but her face is smiling, the early morning sun shines on her face to cut fine light and shadow, and the small studs on her earlobes are shiny and dazzling.

"Classmate, you can do me a favor."

Ren Yu's gaze turned away from her earlobe.

"Over there, there are a lot of bricks, can you help me move some, it's very simple, just stack them up, stack them high, and I'll pad my feet."

The girl pointed to the mound of sand in the fence, which was left over from the summer workers' playground repair, and some bricks and stones.

"Our grade director is arresting people at the school gate."

"Catch what?" Ren Yu asked subconsciously.

“...... Disheveled. We haven't issued school uniforms yet, so I just wore them casually, but who knew that the school rules of No. 9 Middle School were so perverted that they weren't allowed to wear skirts? ”

The girl's tone was coquettish, and there was no anger.

Ren Yu followed her words and looked at her, Converse canvas shoes were short denim skirts, revealing a pair of straight and slender legs.

Before he could speak, the girl spoke again, and her voice begged sweetly: "The railing is too high, I dare to jump when I put my feet on it, classmate, please, can you help me move it?" Save someone's life, and I won't be able to do it if there are too many people in the playground for a while. ”

The loudspeaker behind him began to urge the students to hurry up and assemble in the playground.

Ren Yu didn't hesitate any longer, and under the command of the girl, he repeated a few back and forth, and arranged the bricks into several layers and stacked them high. He was still checking whether the prison was secure, and the girl had already thrown her bag over and was about to climb the fence.

"Turn around, I'm wearing a dress."

Ren Yu's face was hot, and he hurriedly turned around, and did not forget to remind: "It may be unstable, you should be careful." ”

The girl's movements were clean and neat, she climbed to the top in three or two times, and before her voice fell, she had already jumped down from the pointed fence and patted Ren Yu's shoulder: "Okay, okay, come down." ”

Ren Yu turned around and was swept to her neck by her ponytail.

The girl neatly picked up her schoolbag and dusted off the ashes on it: "Just started school, the head teacher hasn't recognized the whole person, there is no one in the classroom at this time, I am hiding in the classroom and not attending the ceremony, I guess there is nothing to do without me." ”

She put her schoolbag on her back and stole a glance at the school gate, where the head of grade had already caught a group of students in skirts and ripped jeans, and was taking their names.

"I can't thank you classmates for saving my life."

"Wait a minute!" Ren Yu didn't know which of his tendons was wrong, so he stopped the girl and pointed to his ear: "The school is also ...... I won't let you wear that either. ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, touched the small stud on her earlobe, and smiled:

"Forget, I'll pick it up."

The red figure ran away quickly, passing through a group of boring blue and white school uniforms, the corners of the skirt flying in the crowd, and the schoolbag swaying with the ponytail.

Ren Yu kept looking at the back until he disappeared into the first year of high school teaching building, and then he came back to his senses and restored the bricks to their original places one by one.

The opening ceremony was a success.

Ren Yu's off-script speech, as the first place in the city's unified examination at the end of last semester, received a lot of praise and applause. He stepped down, stood back in the class line, and lowered his head to support his glasses.

"Stand up straight, don't keep your head down." The head teacher, Mr. Shang, patted Ren Yu's back: "Why are you always not confident?" ”

Ren Yu straightened his back.

It's not that he's not confident, but he always feels cramped when he stands in the eyes of others. A person with a sensitive personality will have a lot more troubles than others, and he always unconsciously explores the temperature in other people's eyes.

Fear of being ignored and fear of being taken too seriously.

It's like both ends of the scale, which side will make him uneasy.

Ren Yu thought of those clear eyes, he stood in those eyes, but he was comfortable, because she looked at you, just looked at you seriously, and the sun was transparent and clear.

He looked in the direction of the first high school building, and suddenly regret came to him.

I don't know if there is a broadcast of the ceremony on the loudspeaker in the classroom.

I don't know if she heard his name.
