Five
Yingqiu's confession last night is still fresh in my mind, and at this moment I am on my way to meet her.
Today is Sunday, and she is going to learn Chinese painting in the afternoon and make up classes in the morning, so I can only see her at noon. At the moment, I was nervous, afraid that she would be upset because of what happened last night.
Although I had a lot of negative emotions from last night's confession, I could also feel her trust in me, and I didn't want to live up to that trust. At the same time, I don't want this girl to be hurt again, I want to protect her.
When she came into my sight, I started to feel a little overwhelmed, and I didn't know what emotions she would have in the face of me. But fortunately, the haze was gone, and she smiled at me as usual. Seeing this scene, my hanging heart finally let go, and none of us mentioned last night's incident.
We walk the streets ordinarily, enjoy our leisure ordinarily, yes, what difference do we have......
......
A month has passed since we dated, and our relationship has been heating up.
During this time, something happened that I thought was quite funny. I went to the supermarket with her on the weekend, and she wanted to kiss me, but I didn't dare to say yes in public. As a result, she pouted and started sulking at me, and I followed her all the way behind her.
I was no longer as shy as I was at the beginning, and I found that I enjoyed the feeling of cuddling, and on the weekends whenever she was free, I would go to her and hug her for a long time every time we met.
And our first official date is today, the first day of National Day.
Our plan was to have lunch and watch a movie at noon, and then find something to do when the movie was over, because in the evening we accepted an invitation from a classmate to attend her birthday party.
But obviously, I don't like to participate in spending money activities and holiday travel all year round, and I would never have expected such a magnificent sea of people on this National Day! My original plan was to go to the cinema and decide what to see, so I didn't plan to buy tickets in advance!
As a result, by the time we got to the cinema, it was already full, and even the corners were filled, and I made a mistake......
I immediately decided to take her to lunch first, but it was the first day of the National Day...... The affordable shop was filled early, and the shop with seats obviously didn't belong to the two students. The end result was that we went to the nearest KFC and had a hasty lunch.
"Why don't we go back to your house and come back in the evening?" She said.
"Okay." I was a little depressed at this point because this first date was really badly arranged, but it didn't matter, I would definitely be able to arrange it next time.
......
"I'm back." While taking out slippers and changing them for Yingqiu.
"Didn't you say you'd be back tonight?" Hearing my voice, my grandmother's perspective shifted from the TV to me.
"Hello grandma."
"There are too many people outside, so come back first and go out when it's almost dinner." With that, I took Yingqiu back to my room.
On the way back, Yingqiu was already a little sleepy, so I asked her to rest in my bed for a while, while I was ready to turn on the computer and start my game.
I was about to turn on the computer when Yingqiu took my hand.
"Aren't you going to rest for a while?" She asked.
"Then I'll lie down for a while."
......
We lay on the bed together, looking at each other, and she slipped into my arms, and after a while, the air conditioner was too hot to hide the humidity.
"Is that okay?"
"Hmm"
The abrupt wind pulled the clouds up, obscuring the sun, and at the pond downstairs, the fish were put into the water, either because they had not yet adapted to it, or because they were afraid of breaking the calm of the water, they did not dare to shake their tails vigorously, so they had to swim slowly, and sometimes stopped, to see how the water reacted. When the fish and the water were accustomed to each other, the tail was as strong as a young man's waist, and he leaped out of the water again and again to break free, and then fell again and again into the water, causing a splash and a sound.
After about a quarter of an hour, the fish that had left traces in the water was tired, and its tail slowly stopped. He stayed in a corner of the water, as if he was recalling the splash of the water, and gently swayed his fins, as if to soothe the enthusiasm of the water.
The waves on the surface of the water gradually subsided, and both the fish and the water slowly calmed down.
......
In the evening, Yingqiu and I had already rearranged our clothes and hairstyles and stood at the door of the hotel. The hand he was holding on the way when he came had already let go.
"Well, let's go up directly, Lin Xin replied to me in front of me that the first box on the left side of the second floor is." I took my phone to confirm the message I had just received.
"It doesn't matter if you didn't bring a birthday present, right?"
"It's okay, we're here to give her face, just eat her poor!"
"Okay."
As he spoke, he opened the door of the hotel and asked Yingqiu to enter the store before me, and the waiter who was standing not far away hurriedly paced forward when he saw us coming in.
"Hello, do you have a place?" The waiter asked.
"Upstairs private room, let's just go up by ourselves."
This restaurant is located in a commercial area that I frequented, and I had a few meals when I was very young, so I am no stranger to it, although it is my first time going to the private room.
"Okay, sir's box is on the second floor, you can go up the stairs over there."
"Okay, thanks." After responding to the waiter's polite reception, I once again turned my perspective back to the girl next to me, "Let's go!" Let's go eat poor her! ”
......
Yingqiu and I walked into the box together, and when we went in, we found that the seats in the private room were almost full, and the invited students were chatting and didn't know what to talk about, it turned out that we were the last two to come.
"Why are you here?" Seeing me enter the door, Lin Xin asked me a question.
"Isn't that not late? We were very punctual. With that, I took out my phone and showed her the time.
"Okay, this is my mom." Lin Xin briefly introduced me to the woman beside her.
"Hello Auntie." Yingqiu and I greeted her successively, and in the face of the elders, we still had to be a little more well-behaved.
"Hello guys, sit down first, the seat is still vacant over there, thank you for coming to celebrate Shin Shin's birthday." Lin Xin's mother responded to us with a smile.
As we sat down and looked at the protagonist of the birthday party, I felt like I was in the wrong place for a moment. Why?
Once when I first entered the school in the sixth grade, there was a time when I caught Lin Xin bullying, especially like to pinch her face, once it was a bit excessive, and even pinched her face purple, and it was a meal after being found out by the head teacher.
And in seventh grade, I was a little more stable, and she almost dissed me for the whole year, and when she got the chance, she called me bad. In the second semester, there was a New Year's Day performance, we went to the auditorium to watch it together, and her seat happened to be next to me, and when she saw me next to her, she immediately began to dislike "I don't want him next to me, really why let me sit with him." Hearing her complaint, I didn't speak, after all, it wasn't her problem that people hated me, but another male classmate who had a good relationship with me next to me couldn't listen to her and said a few words to her, so I gave up.
And since the beginning of this semester, or since I dated Yingqiu, my relationship with Lin Xin has gradually improved, and we can already be regarded as very good friends. At the same time, my reputation in the class has also risen more than a little, and I was only able to play in the boys' pile, but now I can often say a few words in the girls' pile, which is almost impossible to do before.
Thinking of this, I refocused my eyes on the girl who had come with me, and because of her, I had learned to be gentle and gentle.
"What do you want me to do?" She leaned her head over and asked me quietly.
"You're good-looking." I didn't say what was in my heart, but I wasn't lying.
Hearing my answer, she glanced at me with a smile on her face, and then resumed talking to the person next to her.
Since the time was not too early, the food came up quickly, and Lin Xin's mother also knew that she would definitely not be able to let go of an elder sitting there, so she simply ate two bites and toasted us a glass before leaving.
At this point, my crazy classmates have finally turned into wild horses!
"Xiaohong, you also said that you and Yingqiu have no relationship, and you both came together!" Lin Xin pointed at me as soon as he spoke. Hearing that Lin Xin was the first to attack, my "cute" classmates also coaxed, after all, they had long been suspicious.
Xiaohong is what I call in the girls' pile, after all, the name has a "Hong", and in the boys' pile, they generally call "Brother Hong" for face, of course, it doesn't mean that girls don't give face, it's just that they are generally more casual. But who cares what it's called when you're playing?
"Don't talk nonsense, we're innocent." I immediately opened my mouth to argue, but Yingqiu echoed with a smile on the side, "Who will be with him." ”
"I've long seen that the atmosphere between you two is not right." On the side, a cute girl followed her to "make trouble", her name is Bai Xi, and she is also a girl who has gradually become friends with me since this semester.
"Purify yourself, don't judge our sacred friendship with your filthy thoughts." When I saw this scene, I denied it on the surface, but I was indeed a little happy in my heart. Why? Because they obviously bind me to Yingqiu with this kind of rhetoric, which made me a little happy.
Just like that, listening to their jokes, watching Yingqiu play and laugh with them, I felt unprecedented joy, right, this should be the scene I should face at my age.
Cheerful times always fly by, and the food on the table is emptied by us young people, and it is time to leave.
We packed up our things and went downstairs together, and then we saw that it was raining outside, and with today's already hot and humid weather, we felt a sticky feeling on our bodies as soon as we went out.
Looking at the rain, Yingqiu proposed to go to the opposite mall to buy two umbrellas, after all, we don't live close, and if we go back like this, we will have to get a little rain. After that, I went to MINISO in the opposite mall with Yingqiu and Bai Xi, and the others went home more conveniently, so they braved the rain and left.
Standing in front of the product rack of the MINISO umbrella, I felt a little surprised, it turns out that there are only a dozen umbrellas now? It's true that I go out less.
"Which one do you think is better?" Yingqiu is holding two umbrellas, one with a dark blue to white gradient and the other with a light green to white gradient.
"Just see if you like it." I replied casually.
"Then this blue one." As she spoke, she took her umbrella and went to the counter to settle the bill.
At this time, Bai Xi came to my side, and asked in a somewhat mocking tone, "You two just hold an umbrella?" ”
*Target! Careless! I felt deeply uncomfortable, but I still calmly said: "We live close to each other, just buy one and save some money." ”
"Okay."
At this time, Yingqiu also settled the account and came back.
"What are you two talking about?"
"Talk about how good you look."
She also gave up listening to me fool the past like this, probably knowing that some things are not good to say in front of outsiders.
"Then let's go." She gave me an annoyed look, then led the way to the door.
......
Under the drizzle, we walked slowly on the hot and humid streets with umbrellas, although Bai Xi was on the same road as us, but he had already walked only a small back.
"I feel that Lin Xin likes you." Yingqiu suddenly spoke.
"How is it possible, you don't know what relationship I had with her before, how can you fall in love with me if she has only eased up this semester?" At this time, I only felt that Yingqiu seemed to be a little too sensitive, but I also knew that her previous predecessor had a big problem and may have left a lot of shadow on her, so I spoke again: "And even if it is, now I belong to you alone." ”
She looked at me and said to me with a small smile, "Little fool, I really like you more and more. ”
The air is humid and stuffy, and the sweat on my body is mixed with the moisture in the air to make my skin sticky. But at this time, I held the umbrella and tilted it slightly towards the side of the girl next to me, exposing one shoulder to the rain, in order to protect her from the raindrops.
She noticed what I was doing and straightened the umbrella, and now, despite the stickiness of our skin, we were both huddled under the umbrella, and each of us gave half of our shoulders to the rain.
At this moment, I just want to plead with time, please go slower, slower......
