Chapter 23: Long time gone
They say that there is something that should be done at an age group, and everything that should be experienced is inevitable, so don't worry too much. ’
In autumn, the nights are getting longer and the days are shorter, the sky is dimming from the white of the fish's belly, and the sparkling waves in the water are gradually dissipating.
All of a sudden, she was crying, and all of a sudden I was a little helpless. I gently put my hand around her shoulder, she leaned on my shoulder all of a sudden, I looked at her with tears like rain, sighed quietly, looked at the already dark lake in front of me, didn't say anything but patted her shoulder gently like a child.
After a while, I turned my head to look at Huang Qi again, and found that she was asleep, I looked at her white and tender little face with tears not dry, and a lot of hair on both sides was sticking to her face along the sweat, I gently stroked her hair with my hands, I forgot to bring toilet paper for a long time, so I gently dusted off her undried tears with my cuffs.
Suddenly, I saw that her eyes blinked but did not open them, jingle bells, mobile phone rang, and when I opened it, I saw that it was Wang Yan.
"I learned to repair cars in the city, and these days the car is less than early to get off work, and I come out late to drink?"
I talked to Wang Yan about him in the city, but I didn't know what he was doing in the city. I turned my head to look at Huang Qi on my shoulder, she had opened her eyes at the moment.
She sat up and nodded.
"Okay, Brother Yan chooses a place, I'm not very familiar with these places to eat, drink and have fun in the city, and I don't know which one is delicious."
"No problem, what time are you going back to school?"
"Before ten o'clock."
"Okay, I'll choose the location right away and send it to you."
After ending the call, Huang Qi also got up directly. "Let's go, let's return the car first."
Sitting in the car, this time she held my waist, I could feel the temperature of her hand, we slowly boarded the bike, after the car was fine, the position was just right, because the distance was not close, I took a drip, ready to rush to a restaurant called "Relish".
"What a blessing young man, your girlfriend is so beautiful." The driver looked at us from the rearview mirror and couldn't help but glance at Huang Qi a few more times as he spoke.
The driver was a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, and it could be seen that he was an easy-going person. I don't know how to answer, it's a little embarrassing not to speak, let's say, what kind of feelings do I feel now, saying that I am boyfriend and girlfriend with Huang Qi but it is a bit like a brother and sister, and it is a little ambiguous to say that it is like a brother and sister.
"If you hear it, be kind to me in the future." Huang Qi stuck out his tongue a few times.
"You are my blessing." I reached Huang Qi's nose with my hand, and suddenly I felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, and suddenly how could I flirt with her.
I didn't laugh, but the driver's brother laughed so sweetly, I think he must have been scolded.
Fifteen minutes later, we got out of the car outside the restaurant, and Huang Qi and I walked into the restaurant one after the other.
"Welcome, what do you want to eat with the two handsome guys and beauties?" A young woman in a blouse with red sleeves greeted warmly.
"It's ordered, sister, where is Box No. 7?" I looked around and didn't find it.
"Upstairs."
"Thank you, sister." I then walked up briskly with Huang Qi.
When I saw the No. 7 carriage, I pushed the door and entered, and saw several men and women, one was naturally Wang Yan and the other was Zhou Li, who I hadn't seen for a long time, and the other three I didn't recognize, two men and one woman, it seemed that they didn't go to school, and their clothes and temperament could be seen.
"Yo, Siyan, you're handsome again."
When Huang Qi entered the door, Wang Yan was a little surprised. He winked at me, then raised the corners of his mouth with a strange smile, and smiled.
"Our school flower is here, Li Siyan is a bad kid, you don't tell us, what do you say, if you drink this glass of wine, Huang Qi will drink it."
Everyone was happy, and I was about to raise the beer in my glass when Wang Yan stopped me and Huang Qi to introduce the remaining three. The young man and woman are a couple, the older one already has a family, they are all colleagues of Wang Yan's car repair shop, and the young men and women are the same age as us, they have dropped out of school.
"Look at you, I see beautiful women's eyes straight." The girl gently tugged at the boy's ear. The scene suddenly fell silent, and then they laughed together.
The girl blushed suddenly. It is worthy of having experienced a lot, Huang Qi's face was not red, he just looked at me with a smile, I turned my head and raised my eyebrows, raised my wine glass, and punished myself first.
Originally, I didn't let Huang Qi drink, but she insisted on drinking, so I had no choice but to let her drink less, and after eating and drinking, Huang Qi only drank a little bit, and there were already four or five empty bottles under the table.
For those who can drink a little wine, the beer is too swollen to drink, and the old people will run to the toilet for a while, but the girl is not, and she can't drink a few bottles, and her face is red, because we are in a hurry to eat and drink when we want to go back to school, and it is easy to get drunk, and Huang Qi is obviously a little drunk when he looks like him.
I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock. Wang Yan knew that our time was almost up, so he raised his glass and said that there would be a round wine at the end, and he would finish his glass after drinking. They dispersed, and at Huang Qi's request, they wanted me to take a walk with her and then go back.
We walked a short distance down the street after coming out of the restaurant, and came across a small park, where there was no one, so she found a place to sit down, looked at the stars in the sky and sighed.
"You probably already know something, right?"
"Hmm." I nodded.
"They all said I was doing that for the boy, and I ignored them because it didn't make much sense to talk to them."
"Didn't I get admitted to that high position, my parents were very disappointed, blaming me every day, saying that I was self-inflicted, and there were a lot of ugly words, I thought they were just arguing with me, and they wouldn't care about me, but I didn't expect them to buy a relationship and let me be transferred to your school." She continued, tears glistening in the starlight.
"According to me, I originally planned that since I came over, I would have a little snack, I wanted to tell you during the time I came, but I didn't go to you after thinking about it, I didn't want to disturb your study life, it was the end of the first semester of high school at that time."
"You haven't told me for so long, fool." I walked a few steps and sat down beside Huang Qi.
"I'm afraid of affecting your life and hurting you."
She turned her head and continued.
"At that time, a few boys confessed to me, I didn't take care of them, but it didn't take long, a boy is very similar to you, not to say that he looks alike, it is a god temperament, at first I thought that others were better, and he pestered me every day, so I promised him, to be honest, you are not as good as him, he is too pleasing to people, and you are a little wooden, I fell into the trap of his arrangement, I think I am really in love with him. At the end of the semester, during the summer vacation, he actually made an excessive request - to take me to do that kind of thing. She smiled wryly.
"I was surprised and didn't have any other change in his opinion, I just felt that I was a girl who was not yet an adult, my psychology did not allow me to agree to him, I rejected him at that time, he continued to pester me for a while, I still insisted on his attitude, I saw that he was a little dissatisfied with his expression, and disappeared after a while. I thought it was nothing, we held hands and played together as usual during the summer vacation, and he didn't mention that incident again, I thought we could do the same as usual, if it was time for me and him to be adults, and I could get the blessing of both parents, I would definitely belong to him, but I came this semester, and he told me to completely cut off relations with me, at that time there was something wrong in my family, my parents were divorced, and they both pushed me to follow each other, I somehow lost hope, maybe I was really bad. She sighed at times when she said this, and the tears that had been in her eyes burst out again.
Luckily, I brought some paper with me in the restaurant, which I used at this time.
"It's okay, I'm here." To be honest, I really felt like I was a man when I said these words, and I didn't feel embarrassed.
"So, I'm just stupid, although you are not as vigorous and sweet as them, but I believe that you will be a good boyfriend, but I have never chosen you."
Huang Qi ruffled my hair, and then lay on my shoulder, a stream of heat that made my ears a little hot.
"I'll choose you now, you, yes?"
"I ......," I nodded.
Then the mellow smell of malt poured into my mouth, and I hugged her tightly, and she grabbed the corner of my dress, and we looked at each other and slowly closed our eyes.
