summer fireworks

Yan Shu froze.

She stood at the door, looked up from the floor, and looked at Song Zhilin carefully.

She is still the same as before.

Seaweed-like fluffy dark brown long hair, scattered on the slender shoulders, a thin suspender connected to the deep V long skirt, revealing a beautifully shaped collarbone and a small piece of fair skin.

She tilted her head slightly, her long hair fell to one side, her smooth forehead was plump and beautiful, and there was a little smile on her lips, it was hard to tell whether it was true or not.

Song Zhilin pinched a wine glass with her slender fingers, and asked casually, "This is Miss Yan, right?"

"Yes, you know each other?" Yu Wei looked at her suspiciously, and then at Yan Shu who was frozen at the door. The thin memory flashed by, and she patted her hands lightly, and said, "Sister was our sister when she was in high school. The student council president of the school next door, right? Shushu was also very active at that time, did you know him at that time?"

"Well," Song Zhilin put the wine glass on the table, and said softly, "It's just a few encounters."

Fate of several sides.

Yan Shu's heart was so cold that a sneer appeared involuntarily.

Is it just a few encounters?

Those days when they quietly skipped evening study, strolled in the alleys near the school, shared an ice cream, looked at the starry sky on a summer night, and held each other's hand timidly.

Those days when you accidentally touch each other's fingers in a dark movie theater, or see each other's smiling face between the light and dark of the screen.

Even……

Those superficial kisses, those tender touches...

Is it just a few encounters?

Standing at the door, Yan Shu felt that the private room was silent.

She couldn't hear other sounds, but felt something roaring and making a slight noise in her ears.

Her heart was beating extremely fast, and some kind of humiliation was constantly moving in her body, her fingers clenched into fists involuntarily.

It was hard for her to describe the feeling.It was as if an invisible hand held her heart tightly, threw it on the ground mercilessly, and then trampled on it with her heels.

Yan Shu wanted to say something, but she just looked at Song Zhilin fixedly, at her soft, seaweed-like long hair draped over her fair shoulders, at Song Zhilin showing her a gentle smile, her eyes It is mixed with alienation.

She didn't know how others felt when they met their ex-girlfriend at a party, but at the moment she just wanted to run away.

She remembered a lot of the past.

Once, she made an appointment with Song Zhilin to meet at the snack bar behind the school for the next evening self-study, but she didn't want to stay any longer after the second period of self-study, she wanted to see Song Zhilin immediately, so she skipped class early , quietly waiting for Song Zhilin on the way she was going.

Song Zhilin walked halfway, and was startled by Yan Shu who suddenly jumped out.

Song Zhilin turned pale from her fright, but still couldn't bear to scold her, just grabbed her hand and said, "You can't do this in the future."

At that time, what Yan Shu saw in Song Zhilin's eyes was true tenderness.

Another time, she went to the movies with Song Zhilin, and she couldn't remember exactly what she saw. Yan Shu only remembered that she bought the ticket for the last row. The feeling of sticking to it made her heart beat endlessly.

Halfway through the movie, she turned her head and kissed Song Zhilin's face quietly.

Song Zhilin, who used to watch movies only, curled the corners of her lips, hooked her fingertips, pulled her over during a certain unimportant episode, and kissed her lips.

At that moment, Yan Shu felt that his heartbeat was about to stop.

That kiss was very innocent, it was just lips touching lips, but it made Yan Shu's heart twitch wildly, like eating a whole piece of iced watermelon in summer, with an indescribable sweetness.

And all of this is now summarized by Song Zhilin as a close relationship.

How could she say such words so indifferently and calmly? !

Yan Shu didn't want to bring up the past, but she didn't want Song Zhilin to erase everything about them like this.

"Shushu, why don't you come in?"

Yu Wei yelled towards the door, saying:

"It's so hot standing there, there's still room here, come and sit."

"Well," Yan Shu took a deep breath, told himself not to show timidity, walked to Yu Wei's sofa and sat down, "Are there any more melon seeds? Give me one."

Silently, Ji Fuyi pushed the melon seeds in front of her, seeing that her expression was very bad, he brought her another glass of lemonade.

Yan Shu nodded gratefully to her, Ji Fuyi pursed her lips and smiled, and continued to listen to the band's performance downstairs.

Holding the lemonade, Yan Shu still felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Song Zhilin was very close to her, so close that if she moved a little, she could touch her arm.

She could smell the pheromone smell on Song Zhilin's body, it was a gloomy rusty smell, as light as the wind, slowly spreading around her, making her palms feel damp, and the red marks on her neck that had long since disappeared seemed to be warm again When I woke up, it seemed to be aching, and a sour feeling was swaying in my heart, like a puddle of water.

It's just that she never looked at her.

Yu Wei and Ji Fuyi sat across from them, knocking sunflower seeds and listening to the band singing, while chatting leisurely, the two of them were very affectionate, and there was a sweetness of newlyweds everywhere, which made Yan Shu uncomfortable for a while.

Good friends get together, but she has to sit on a sofa with her ex-girlfriend, elbows squeezed, and her ex-girlfriend blocks her view, preventing her from watching the band play.

"You two have such a good relationship," Song Zhilin looked at Yu Wei as if she couldn't see Yan Shu at all, and said, "I heard it was a blind date arranged by my parents? I can't tell at all."

"They knew each other before that," Yan Shu said abruptly, "It's not an arranged marriage contract."

"Are you going to fly to Xia Island tomorrow?"

Song Zhilin took a sip of wine, and asked Yu Wei and Ji Fuyi with a smile on her face.

"It's hot over there, remember to bring sun protection clothing. No amount of sunscreen can handle the sun. It's a famous holy place for tanning."

She bypassed her subject.

Yan Shu has always been at home in social situations, no matter how cold the situation is or how embarrassing the conversation is, she can bring it up with ease, but today, facing Song Zhilin's simple words, she can't say anything.

She lowered her head and knocked on the melon seeds silently.

They were still discussing the vacation on Xia Island, from the color of the beach to what kind of clothes to bring, and then they talked about the customs of Xia Island. Song Zhilin even knew that there was a delicious ice cream shop on Xia Island, saying Come and listen to Yu Wei and Ji Fuyi.

Oh, I really deserve to be well-informed.

Yan Shu sat, feeling more and more bored.

She listened to those topics, and she also found them very interesting in the past, but today she lacked interest.

Yan Shu simply stood up and said, "I'm going out to get some air."

"Feeling bored again?"

Yu Wei glanced at her worriedly, and said:

"Shushu, are you feeling unwell today?"

Yan Shu shook his head, forced a smile, and walked out of the private room.

Standing at the smoking area in the corridor, Yan Shu lit a cigarette.

She has not smoked for a long time.

When I was in college, I relied on inspiration to make works. When the pressure was too great, I smoked a cigarette to relieve fatigue. After graduation, Yan Shu rarely smoked tobacco again.

In the curling smoke, she let out a long sigh of relief.

The chaotic thoughts finally became clearer.

Song Zhilin returned to City B again, and seeing her friendship with Yu Wei, this person will be indispensable in future gatherings.

Yan Shu is not that hypocritical, and will not destroy a friend's chance just because of his own affairs.

What else can I do, stay away at most.

She never wanted, never dared, never wanted to touch Song Zhilin again.

The scars on the heart, even if scabs had formed, would still hurt heart-piercingly when touched, as if there were rotten flesh and blood underneath, and there was no way to heal completely.

After finishing a cigarette, Yan Shu extinguished the cigarette butt, intending to clear the smell of the cigarette before going back to the private room.

"Have you learned to smoke now?"

She looked up and saw Song Zhilin standing at the door of the smoking room, frowning at her.

"how?"

Not to be outdone, Yan Shu stared at her, suppressed the surging emotions in his throat, and said calmly:

"Miss Song also cares about this?"

Song Zhilin seemed to sigh, but also didn't seem to.

She stepped into the smoking room, frowning as if she was afraid of getting the smell of tobacco on her body.

When she walked to Yan Shu's side, she sighed:

"not good for health."

"I'm an adult."

Yan Shu smiled and pushed her hand away from him.

"I have my measure."

"You..." Song Zhilin really smiled this time, she grabbed Yan Shu's hand and approached her ear, "You're still so stubborn."

"Do you want to take care of it?!"

Yan Shu suddenly shook off her hand, and Song Zhilin's hand was warm and dry, immediately bringing many memories to his mind.

When they were dating before, Song Zhilin didn't care about her.

She is not allowed to smoke or drink alcohol. She has to go to class and do her homework every day. She has to eat lunch and dinner carefully. Her English score is not good, so Song Zhilin even took her to the library and gave her tutoring.

She used to find it annoying, but she found it a little sweet.

Now, if Song Zhilin said such things again, it only made Yan Shu feel unwilling.

Who would want to be controlled by an ex-girlfriend who has been separated for many years?The most frightening thing was that when she saw Song Zhilin just now, she really panicked and wanted to extinguish the cigarette in her hand, like a child who has done something bad.

Yan Shu hated her conditioned reflex, which made her realize once again what kind of position Song Zhilin occupies in her heart.

The past she dared not touch, the love affair she never mentioned, the reason why she can no longer love anyone else...

All because of her.

For a moment, Yan Shu's eyes turned red.

In the dim light, she stared at Song Zhilin firmly, and shouted:

"You stay away from me."

"I stay away from you?"

Song Zhilin let go of her hand, and stood beside her with folded arms, a sneer appeared on her beautiful face.

Her voice was as cold as ice, and she said coldly:

"This has been the same for more than ten years."
