【080】Late letter
In the past years that I have forgotten for a long time, I had a few encounters with Ritsu Zhaochuan.
I couldn't have imagined that I would remember these times so deeply. It was so deep that I could clearly remember the temperature of the daylight that day, and the frequency of my breathing.
He borrowed my coat and washed it and kept it in a paper bag, which I put on top of my desk. The coat must be returned, but I don't have the right opportunity, after all, he and I are a well-known pair of rivals in the school. I went to his "turf" and returned his coat, which was very inappropriate.
The paper bag is very large, occupying most of the desk, and it is especially abrupt because it contains men's clothes. When Xiao Yu curiously lifted the bag and asked, "What is this", I immediately went up to cover the mouth of the bag and asked her, "Have you finished your literature homework?" She immediately ran away screaming. I put the paper bag deep in the closet. How to bring this matter to a successful conclusion calmly and smoothly is my primary consideration.
I heard from a reliable source that on Saturday, a "postgraduate examination experience sharing meeting" was held in the ladder teaching hall of the main building of the college, and a senior who had successfully passed the postgraduate entrance examination returned to the school to teach the students who were preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, and voluntarily signed up throughout the year.
The informant told me that Ritsu Terukawa would also go.
I guess it's a good time to return his coat!
At that time, I can blend in naturally and give it back to him when the scene is over.
On Saturday, I wore a skirt for the first time in a long time and braided my hair. In the mirror, I shook the braids on both sides of my face, thinking it was strange.
Carrying a paper bag, I arrived early and sat down in the back row of the classroom. The students arrived in twos and threes, and gradually, the big ladder sect was full of people. It's just that there is no Ritsu Zhao River.
I can't remember what the enthusiastic seniors who actively shared their experiences said, and my attention was not on it. I kept searching for Ritsu Terukawa in the conference hall. Every time a new student came in at halftime, I immediately turned my head to look. Unfortunately, it wasn't him.
Soon, the sharing session ended. Ritsu Zhaochuan never showed his face. I can't help but think that my information source is completely unreliable.
Foolishly take your clothes back. When I passed by the library, I heard a doubt: "Lu Zhenyu? "When I heard someone shouting my sister's name, I immediately followed the sound and saw Ritsu Zhaochuan and a boy standing in front of the library. When they saw me stop, they came towards me, and they had just stood still in front of me.
The big boy next to Lu Zhaochuan was surprised: "Ah, this sister is a beer ...... I've seen before"
"It's her sister." Ritsu Zhaochuan said quickly, "They are siblings. ”
I immediately bowed my bow and shoved the bag into Ritsu Kawa's hand.
"You don't speak. Shy? ”
Shy? I'm not shy. There is a huge gap between my sister's accent and me. I'm afraid of revealing the stuffing.
Lu Zhaochuan took the bag, swept the bag in his eyes, and let out a meaningful sound: "Oh~" Suddenly, he straightened his face and looked at my face carefully, I was horrified by him, and quietly took a few steps back, and Lu Zhaochuan suddenly laughed out loud.
He was actually laughing......
I was so surprised!
"Do you girls have this kind of braid?" He asked.
"What?"
"It's like, it looks like a clumsy man's braids." Ritsu Terukawa was blunt.
I blushed.
I thought that when I went to college, I didn't need to live a fist and foot life anymore, but in order to say goodbye to the past, I began to grow my hair, and it was not easy to learn to simply tie a ponytail. I can't do meticulous work, but I didn't expect that I was so meticulous that others could debunk it at a glance. It's still embarrassing to be debunked in person. I quickly pulled out the hair tie and loosened the braids.
Nothing else, I waved goodbye to them.
"Wait a minute." Ritsu Zhaochuan called out to me, and then he handed me the cardboard box he had originally carried in his hand, "You give me a paper bag, and I will give you a cardboard box, which is fair." ”
The carton is a bit heavy.
I had to hold it with both hands.
"What is it?"
"Didn't you say your shoulder hurts? There's a hammer shoulder instrument here, someone else gave it, and it's useless for me to keep it, so I'll give it to you. ”
"I don't have a pain in my shoulder......" I replied subconsciously.
"Huh?" He raised his eyebrows and shot a sharp gaze at me, "You said you wanted it!" ”
Uh, I suddenly remembered that I am Xiao Yu now, and this is for Xiao Yu! The two of them have become good enough to give each other gifts!
"Come on, my hands are sore." Lu Zhaochuan said.
Afraid of being exposed, I hurriedly took the gift.
Saying goodbye to him again, I ran with heavy steps.
If I stay any longer, I'm really going to be completely exposed.
After a long time, I heard a laugh behind me: "Goodbye...... Lu Zhenyu. ”
I didn't dare to turn back.
The last time we met, he recognized the wrong person, and it wasn't my fault. But this time, I deliberately let him continue the misunderstanding last time with ulterior motives.
I hope that I will not get out of the way and that I will return my coat quietly.
Now that I think about it, I was wrong.
Really wrong.
After spring break, on the first weekend after returning to work, I received a package from Xiao Yu at the place where she was traveling.
She's been on the road, station after stop. There seems to be no end to her journey. Her network comes and goes, and it goes up and down. If she hadn't reached out to me, I wouldn't have been able to find her.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, I received a call from an unfamiliar number.
"Sister. I'm Xiao Yu. "It's Xiao Yu's voice, accurate.
"Xiao Yu!" I exclaimed.
Perhaps, she was in an open place, and a fierce roaring wind came from the microphone. I got up and walked to the window, trying to boost the communication signal so that I could hear her clearly.
"Where are you now?" I couldn't help but raise the volume.
"Yunyan Snow Mountain."
"When are you coming back?"
"It's so cold and it's beautiful. The snow-capped mountains are undulating, like snow galloping across the plains. Nature is so great and heroic, and it is really small for human beings to set off. Those who are reluctant to live in the depths of nature are really nothing. On the contrary, small human beings have been doing all kinds of dirty things for their own selfish desires. ”
"Xiao Yu, what's wrong with you?" I asked carefully.
I read in a book that if the mind is infinitely close to nature, it will be understood almost like an oracle. My sister I don't know is someone who would say that. Could it be that Xiao Yu embarked on the journey in order to obtain this epiphany?
"When are you coming back? You don't have to be afraid of Lin Xuanyan anymore, she can't tell you to do anything anymore. I whispered.
"Sister. I have a gift for you. There is a post office at the foot of the snowy mountain, and when I get down the mountain, I send my package. This gift, it was many years late, and I didn't have the courage to give it to you in person, so I sent it to you. Sister, I love you. ”
With that, she hung up the phone.
I took the package from the courier today, and I think the package should be the gift that Xiao Yu said.
Back in the house, I carefully unwrapped the package. Xiao Yu sent me a red gift box with a red bow on it. When I lifted the lid of the box, there was a soft pink paper ball in the box, and a DV tape was solemnly placed on the paper ball.
I know this kind of tape, which is the kind of DV tape that Ye Chun and I used before. It just so happens that there are ready-made playback tools at home. I moved the camera out, plugged it in, and pushed the tape into the machine.
"Ahem......" The screen flashed, and Xu Chen's face jumped out on the small screen.
Xu Chen coughed lightly a few times and said to the camera: "Star, happy twentieth birthday."
I wondered, what is this, what's going on?
Xu Chen on the screen smiled shyly, stared at the camera again, and seemed to have the courage to continue: "We have always been good partners for eating, drinking and having fun, we have played since we were children, you know the moment when I am embarrassed, and I can't be handsome in front of you." It's a pity. However, I still want to tell you...... Actually, actually...... I like you! I like you! Loved you! ”
My back slammed into a squeeze.
"Hahaha." Xu Chen scratched his head and used laughter to relieve the embarrassment, "Actually, I'm still a little shy, so I don't dare to tell you in person." Stars, if we can, can we cross the relationship of hair and small, if you also think that I am qualified to be your boyfriend, when we meet tomorrow, take this as a letter! ”
He gestured to the camera with a triangular tower.
The screen goes dark.
What follows is the endless blue screen.
That's the end of the tape.
Twentieth birthday? How many years ago......
I took the gift box and removed the pink packaging from the carton. Sure enough, it was found that there was a letter hidden at the bottom of the box, a handwritten letter, which was Xiao Yu's handwriting.
I saw that the first sentence read, "Sister, I'm sorry. My heart suddenly "clicked", as if my heart was rolling down from a mountain, and the earth rushed towards me, and I don't know when it will end.
"Sister. I'm sorry.
You've read the tape.
Freshman year of college, your birthday. Xu Chen decided to confess to you. He recorded his thoughts in tape, packed them in a gift box, and quietly placed them in your carry-on bag. He thought you'd see his confession when you checked your bag at night.
The next day, he waits for your reply with trepidation.
But you didn't give him any response as if nothing had happened.
Xu Chen still thought that this was your way of rejecting him. The mildest form of rejection is not willing to ruin years of friendship.
From then on, Xu Chen didn't dare to show you a little other feelings.
He doesn't know, and you can't have a response. Because you don't even see the tape. No, you don't know there exists.
Because, it was me, who secretly took it.
I like him.
I like him, knowing that my sister likes him too, and he likes you, I did it. Doing something that I couldn't even face myself.
The despicable me has not only stolen your time, but also your feelings.
People are doing it, and the sky is watching. I believe that. I didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly, and everything I did, someone was secretly watching. Lin Xuanyan knew what I was doing. She threatened me that if I didn't listen to her, she would tell you all about it. I'm so scared, I'm afraid that you won't forgive me, I'm afraid that Xu Chen will hate me, and I'll pay a terrible price for it......
In the middle of my travels, it suddenly dawned on me that the mistake I had made would be a test from heaven. This is my calamity, my hurdle, and I must bear it myself.
I don't ask my sister to forgive me. I will never be able to forgive myself.
Sister: Lu Zhenyu. ”
When I finished reading, my hand was loosened, and the letter paper fell to the ground.
I looked out the window.
At some point, snowflakes the size of goose feathers fell outside. The snow is so good, it can cover the dirt of the world, and the sky and the earth are instantly white and clean.
Does Xiao Yu still see the snow?
Did she know that it was snowing here, too?
