Chapter 2 Lessons.
open.
Qiao Yuwei's face was in hot pain, she poured some ice water from the table into her palm and stuck it on her face.When she turned around, she realized that everyone in the store was focusing on her.She froze for a moment, and walked out of the mushroom house as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Yuwei prayed all the way not to run into acquaintances.Unexpectedly, the world is so small, and they met Song Mingxuan, Ye Xiaoying, and several roommates such as octopus balls in the snack street at the back door.
Qiao Yuwei wanted to hide from passers-by, but Song Mingxuan recognized her in a second.
"Rainy!"
Qiao Yuwei couldn't dodge anymore, so she covered her face with one hand, walked two steps closer and pretended to say hello casually, "Hehe, it's such a coincidence, we can meet you anywhere. Are you going to eat?"
"Hmm. What's wrong with your face?" Song Mingxuan said as he was about to reach out to check.
Qiao Yu took a few steps back again and again, "It's nothing, just a few pimples in puberty, I'm sorry to show it to others."
"Chunchun is gone and acne, you are so embarrassed to say it. Let me see." Song Mingxuan sensed that she was hiding something on purpose, rushed over and pulled her hand away, and a crimson five-fingerprint appeared impressively face.
"Damn! Who did it?! Let's see if labor and capital don't kill him!" Song Mingxuan was furious instantly, causing the passers-by to stare.
Qiao Yu was slightly dumbfounded, "Shh, don't shout, the whole school will know about it in a while."
"What do you mean 'nothing'? Are you stupid? You don't say anything when you are bullied!"
"It's nothing. Besides, if you were that person, you would probably give me a slap." In her heart, Qiao Yuwei felt guilty towards Guan Yichen.But for her best sister, she can only choose to be selfish.Or more importantly, she saw the sincerity of Xu Junnuo and Xia Qinglang.
Song Mingxuan was inexplicable, his eyebrows frowned, "Is there something hidden?"
"Yeah." Qiao Yu nodded slightly.
Song Mingxuan looked at Ye Xiaoying, turned his head and told Octopus Ball, "Take my girlfriend to dinner, I'll come over later, don't wait for me." Then he pulled Qiao Yuwei, "Come with me."
"Oh, no, I'll tell you next time, you go to eat first..."
Song Mingxuan ignored her at all, and walked forward with his head held high.
Qiao Yu sighed slightly, turned her head to look at Ye Xiaoying apologetically, and followed quickly.
Ye Xiaoying looked at the two backs that were gradually moving away, clenched her fists, her long and sharp nails were almost embedded in her skin.
Seeing Ye Xiaoying's ferocious expression, Zhang Yuwan couldn't help but shudder.He began to faintly worry about Qiao Yuwei.
When Xia Qinglang found Xu Junnuo, she was standing on the river bridge, facing the quiet Yunwu Village, shrouded in a dim and warm light.
The night wind is very cool, refreshingly cool.Xia Qinglang really wanted to go over and put clothes on her, but she didn't move a step after all.
After a long silence, Xu Junnuo turned around and faced him, "Why did you come to me?"
"I just want to see you."
Silence again.
A minute later, Xu Junnuo asked, "What about Guan Yichen?"
Xia Qinglang looked at her with complicated eyes, a little annoyed, a little sad, a little at a loss, that look broke Xu Junnuo's heart, his eyes were always bright and clear, never so cloudy, as if lost.
After a while, Xu Junnuo said slowly, "Qing Qing, love is not for games. I didn't know that I liked you before, so I chose to be with Lin Zhe. Now I know that the person I like is you, so I chose to be with Lin Zhe." Zhe broke up. My biggest mistake was that I didn’t see my true heart earlier. But Qingqing, how about you? You always knew that the person you liked was me, right? But you chose Guan Yichen. There’s nothing wrong with that. No one has the obligation to wait for another person. If you are not in love, maybe I will never know that the person I like is you. But if the two of us are together now, what is Guan Yichen? Have you ever thought about it? ?I broke up with Lin Zhe because I understood my heart, not because I want to be with you, do you understand?" It turns out that I can also speak so calmly, so rationally, and so persuasively, Xu Junnuo thought.
Xia Qinglang understood, she understood all of Xu Junnuo's feelings.However, he didn't know how to answer or how to deal with it, he only knew that he could no longer be tied to Guan Yichen, no matter for her or for himself.
"What do you want me to do?"
Xia Qinglang's voice was full of helplessness, and Xu Junnuo's heart was twisted together.
"I don't know. I just can't selfishly ignore Guan Yichen."
"But it's impossible for me and her. Everything is my fault. For her, I can only apologize."
"No one is at fault. Or, we are all at fault."
"How long do you need? How long do you need to let go of all this?"
"I don't know, maybe a year, maybe two years, maybe... I don't know."
"Ok, I will wait for you."
……
After returning from Yunwu, for half a month, there was no contact between Xia Qinglang and Guan Yichen.When they met in class, Guan Yichen also pretended not to know Xia Qinglang at all.She no longer sits in the first row, but at the edge of any row in the middle.Qiao Yuwei likes this position, which is basically equivalent to being invisible.
Xia Qinglang always felt that he owed Guan Yichen an "sorry" and a breakup ceremony to her.So I asked her to go to the mushroom house.The day he had left her there alone, today he had to go after her.
Guan Yichen was half an hour late.
Xia Qinglang's prepared opening remarks, when facing her, all turned into dust and fell to the ground one after another.All that remains is, "What would you like to drink?"
Guan Yichen hated bitterness. He used to only drink latte and had to add enough sugar, but today he ordered Italian style.
She raised her cup and swallowed a few mouthfuls without changing her expression, then looked down at Xia Qinglang with a victim attitude.
"It was you who wanted to be together back then, and you are the one who wants to separate now. Xia Qinglang, you are a scum." Guan Yichen's expression was always understated, but his voice was as cold as ice.
"I'm frivolous, I'm despicable, everything is my fault. Yichen, you can blame me, you can hate me, I just hope you don't feel too sad." Xia Qinglang knew for the first time, that feeling of guilt, It can also be heart-wrenching.
"Don't be sad? Xia Qinglang, don't you find it ridiculous to say such things now? You won't treat me like this if you are afraid that I will be sad!"
"I know that what I say now won't help. But Yichen, you believe me, even if we just met each other, I won't have the intention to hurt you. Besides, we used to be very good friends."
"A very good friend", when Guan Yichen heard these words, his heart was moved.She suddenly remembered what Qiao Yuwei said, "You always knew that the person he likes is not you." I knew, but I wanted more, knowing that the person in his heart was not me, but I would kill myself without hesitation.Thinking about it now, "good friend" is the best ending for me and him.But we can never go back to the military training ground that was burned by the scorching sun.
Guan Yichen sighed softly, "May you grow old together and don't harm others anymore." He got up and walked out of the mushroom house.
She looked up at the dazzlingly white sky without a ray of sunshine, and suddenly hated this season, the long and indifferent winter.
☆、Snow Rose
On the night of the last day of November, the first snow of that winter fell in Songcheng.
In the early morning of the next day, Yu Qingya was woken up by more than a dozen crackling messages.She finished reading sleepily, and immediately became refreshed.Climbed out of bed and went to the balcony to take a look outside, and it was really alluring in silver.Then he climbed onto Qiao Yuwei's bed and rubbed the plush doll on her face.
Qiao Yu opened her eyes for a second, rubbed her eyes, turned on her phone and checked the time, "Why did you get up so early?"
"It's snowing, let's go to the mountains to see the snow." Yu Qingya looked very excited.
"Now?" Qiao Yuwei looked surprised. You must know that at this time, she can't be invited by eight sedan chairs.
"Well, now!" As he said, he pulled the clothes off the wall, "Here, pack up quickly." He said to himself, "No, it doesn't look good. Wait a minute, I'll pick one for you." Yu Qingya As he said that, he climbed out of bed and went to the wardrobe.
Qiao Yuwei was still in a daze. "I still have to go for a run, you lie down for a while, I'll call you after the run."
"No!" Yu Qingya objected immediately.
Qiao Yu looked at her suspiciously.
Realizing that she reacted too strongly, she laughed dryly, "Well, the snow on the mountain may be trampled in a while. You know, the freshmen are the most diligent, and they will definitely go to build snowmen in a while."
Qiao Yuwei was still puzzled, she had never seen her be so devoted to Xue before, but it was really rare, so she followed Yu Qingya. "Then I'll call Xiwen."
"Well, good." Yu Qingya was secretly delighted.
Qiao Yuwei told Xiwen that she couldn't go for a run today, put down the phone, and Yu Qingya shook the light blue floral down jacket in her hand, "How about this one?"
White fur lapel, bubble lantern sleeves, fluffy princess skirt, this style is really elegant.
"Well, yes, it suits you very well."
"What, you wear it."
"Me?" Qiao Yu waved her hand slightly, "I'm fine in my military coat."
"Oh, Yuwei, snow is very sacred. You have to respect it, admire it, and match your clothes according to its hue. Look at this fur, how white and pure it is. Put it on."
Qiao Yuwei was brainwashed.
The morning after the snow was exceptionally quiet.People's feelings for the first snow are always so fierce, there are already early risers rolling snowballs in the square.
There are still few footprints on the mountain.The originally bare branches were covered with white snow, like a bride in a wedding dress.As the breeze passed by, the snowflakes "rusted" and fell, like raving.
Qiao Yu settled down lightly, lest she offend Jingying.Walking cautiously while lingering at the scenery.
Seeing her slow movements, Yu Qingya couldn't help but drag her on her way, "The scenery ahead is better, hurry up."
"Hey, slow down, the good snow has been trampled. Where are you going in such a hurry?"
……
Yu Qingya carried Qiao Yuwei straight to Dicui Pavilion.
When the petals scattered all over the ground came into view, Qiao Yu vaguely guessed something.In the shape of a large, heart-warming heart, the letters "QYW," her initials, are mosaiced in the center.The bright red of roses and the pure white of snow complement each other, making it a delight for the eyes.
At that moment, she was moved and heartbroken.She never thought that one day someone would do this for her, like a fairy tale.She knew it was him.
Xiwen came out slowly from behind the stone pillar of the gazebo. Qiao Yuwei watched him approach step by step, stopped in front of her, knelt down on one knee, took out the gift box from the position of his heart, opened it, and with a sincere and warm voice, "Yuwei ,Will you be my girlfriend?"
She looked at the dazzlingly bright water drop necklace, and her vision became blurred...
Yu Qingya raised her phone and took a picture of this beautiful scene.
Song Mingxuan stared at the picture attached to Yu Qingya's Weibo post for a long time, and then sighed, "After all, you were discovered by others."
☆, spotless ashtray
After Qiao Yuwei and Xiwen got together, Xu Junnuo began to try his best to match Qingya and Octopus Ball.Yu Qingya, who was driven into a desperate situation, blocked her mouth with one sentence, "You are with Xia Qinglang, and I am with octopus balls, how about it?"
From then on, Xu Junnuo never mentioned this matter again.
It's the end of the term again, and the days without classes make people dreamy.
In the afternoon, Yu Qingya ran out of water, and didn't bother to fetch hot water, so she sneaked to Qiao Yu's computer desk and picked up her water glass to "smuggle" into her own.
"You're going to be lazy. Someday I'll spit into the cup." Qiao Yu smiled.
"Hey, you love me the most, I know you won't." Yu Qingya flattered her face.Not wanting to focus on talking, he shook his hand, and the two cups were staggered a little, and a string of water jets fell down, flowing half of the table.Yu Qingya screamed and quickly wiped it with a paper towel.
"You really failed to achieve success and failed to succeed." Qiao Yu slightly reproached.
At this moment, Yu Qingya witnessed a dramatic scene - after a piece of plain white flannel met the water, the handwriting gradually leaked out.
"Yuwei, there are words on it, and it's still blue."
"On what?"
"It's the lining of your photo box."
"Bring it to me to see."
Yu Qingya grabbed the two corners of the flannel and handed it to Qiao Yuwei who was leaning on the bed.
Qiao Yu sat up "suddenly".That piece of whiteness that was originally as white as snow, at this moment, blue writing really appeared.It is a letter, with letterhead, text, and signature.However, the sum total is less than ten words: Chen Tianyu, I am willing, Tang Wanxin.
Qiao Yuwei stared at the three short words in the middle, her thoughts surging.She suddenly remembered that she hadn't contacted Sister Tang for a long time.
Dial the phone, but it has been shut down.Qiao Yuwei immediately recharged the three-digit phone bill, and then dialed, but it was prompted that the phone was turned off.She was inexplicably uneasy.
"It's amazing. This seems to be a plot only in TV dramas. It's obviously a love letter." Yu Qingya was very excited about this discovery. "Yuwei, that 'Tang Wanxin' is the one who gave you the necklace, right? Why do you think she is so smart that she can make words invisible?"
Qiao Yuwei didn't know Sister Tang's full name, but she was undoubtedly the one. "Chen Tianyu" must be someone she once loved. "Go buy some gallstones, you can too."
"Dear? I seem to have heard of it. What is it? What is it for?" Yu Qingya was full of curiosity.
Qiao Yuwei didn't care to talk to her anymore, got up and got out of bed, went to the balcony where there was a little sunshine, put a book on it, and spread the flannelette carefully, as if drying a rare treasure.Don't spoil the words, she thought.
Yu Qingya was puzzled, "Shouldn't this be an extremely private thing? Why would I give it to you?"
Qiao Yuwei didn't know either.She called Sister Tang's phone again, but the phone was still off.
For days, that call was never answered.Qiao Yu faintly had a bad premonition.
When she returned to Qingcheng during the winter vacation, she didn't go home, but went directly to Tang Yifang, but the shop changed hands, and it was replaced by a middle-aged woman who was a bit fat.
Qiao Yuwei hurriedly asked her about Sister Tang, but the person who approached the new owner was a middle-aged man, and she had never met Sister Tang.
Qiao Yuwei was disheartened.But he didn't know where to go, so he stood there in a daze.Only then did I realize that the clothes in the store had changed styles and no longer exclusively sold plus sizes; the counter had also moved, and the chewing gum, ashtray, and spray had all disappeared.
Seeing her depressed mood, the new shop owner couldn't bear it, so he took the account book on the counter and gave her some information. "The man asked me to transfer the money to this person's account. It should be her relatives. You can contact me and try."
Qiao Yuwei quickly thanked her.
The owner of the account is Sister Tang's father. Qiao Yuwei finally found out about her, but she burst into tears.
She is no longer alive.
Cause of death, lung cancer.
Qiao Yu slightly thought of the spotless ashtray.
How much she wished it wasn't true, but it was just hope.
Facts never make sense.
Not long after putting down the phone, there was a call back.It was a different person, the voice of a middle-aged man, it was Sister Tang's brother.He asked Qiao Yuwei's name, and said that Sister Tang had left her a letter.
Qiao Yuwei got the letter and refused to open it for a long time.
In this world, the last thing people want to face is probably farewell.
In the middle of the night, she lit a candle and read those words in the dim light.
Only the warmth of fire can dispel the cold of death.
"Yuwei, when I first saw you, I thought you were very similar to me. To be precise, you were very similar to me at your age..."
"I once liked a boy. He was very good to me. When I was a 180-pound fat girl, when everyone was unwilling to play with me. When I graduated, I was afraid that we would never see each other again. Even though he was worried, even though he was afraid, he mustered up the courage to confess to him, and he said, can't we be friends?"
"I haven't received much warmth, so I received some kind charity, and I thought it was love. His rejection made me sober, and made me see myself clearly..."
"I think the reason why I was able to endure the pain of those bone-eroding surgeries and drugs was to make him regret one day..."
"I completed the transformation as I wished, and stood in front of him again as a graceful lady, as I wished, and saw the astonishment in his eyes as I wished."
"After another class reunion, he sent me home and said he liked me. I said, you didn't choose me when I wasn't good enough. Now that I'm better, I can have a better choice, right?"
"No one knows how happy I was when I said these words, and no one knows how much I regretted them after I said them..."
"I like him, but out of the worthless self-esteem in my heart, I am so worried about his rejection at the beginning."
"In fact, most of us judge people by their appearance. But most of the time, when we are underestimated and treated unfairly, we will only blame others for their superficiality, vulgarity, and snobbery, and cannot accept it with tolerance."
"Yuwei, I want to tell you that if you can't change the prejudices of those you care about, you can become a better self to make them impeccable, or give up caring for them. In love, you must obey your own Mind, don't let any other unrelated emotions influence your choice."
The next day, Qiao Yuwei went to the cemetery.In front of Sister Tang's tomb, she met that man.
Chen Tianyu noticed the heart-shaped photo box on her chest. He gave Tang Wanxin a photo box of the same style during the Spring Festival of a certain year, inlaid with amethyst, Tang Wanxin's birthstone.
Chen Tianyu told her something about him and Miss Tang when they were in middle school.
"One time Wanxin suffered from acute appendicitis, she was sweating profusely from the pain, and fell to the ground. No one in the class could recite her, and few people were willing to recite it. I begged another boy to carry her into the taxi with me. car. That was the most helpless time I've ever felt."
"There was another time when a few of us were late and didn't want to be registered by the guard, so we climbed in from the fence next to the playground. I set up stepping stones for Wanxin and sent her up, but she didn't dare to jump. The next step is to meet her. After that, my arm was broken. Wanxin was scolded by her classmates for a long time because of this. She was very guilty and kept apologizing to me. She went to the hospital to visit me every day and took notes for me. In fact, she should feel guilty about the person who should apologize it's me."
……
Qiao Yuwei listened to these stories and imagined the scene at that time. She was obviously very sad, but she burst into tears from laughter.
She handed him the "letter" with only nine characters.She thought this was what Sister Tang meant.
It just so happened that she wore the necklace and forgot to put away the interlining that day, just happened that Yu Qingya flooded the computer desk, just happened to meet this man here today, all of this seemed to be predestined, but it was a fateful regret...
On New Year's Eve that year, there was still no fireworks display in Baihu Park.The small colorful flags of the Spring Festival Gala magically rotated for four hours and stood still.
☆, rain flower stone
The new semester begins.
As soon as Mingxia entered the dormitory, she left her suitcase and took out a small thing from her schoolbag and gave it to Yu Qingya.
It is a stone, almost round, red and white, scattered like water ripples, the surface is smooth and shiny, and there is a natural crescent-shaped crack on one side.
"Yuhuashi!" Yu Qingya exclaimed. "Where did you get it?"
"I went to Yuetang during the winter vacation. I picked it up on the side of the road. There are such stones everywhere."
"Really? Then I have to go and see it when I have a chance."
Qiao Yu took a slight look at Mingxia and said with a smile, "You are so lucky. There are people coming and going on the main road, but you just picked it up."
Mingxia heard what Qiao Yuwei meant, she blushed, ignored her, and went back to her seat to flip through the book.
The weather is getting warmer, and the grass grows and the warblers fly.On the grass next to the square, the peach trees newly planted last year are blooming.The passing children all ran over to take a group photo, their faces glowing with peach blossoms.
The breeze is warm, and the pleasant spring is always sadly short.After a few spring rains, the ground is red.When the weather cleared up, the sun was already burning the skin, just like the warm-up before summer.
A bad news wrinkled Song Mingxuan's originally peaceful campus life like a pool of water.Grandma Song passed away.
In a sense, grandma had far more influence on Song Mingxuan than his parents.
From a babbling toddler to a mature teenager who can judge and think independently, his growth over the past ten years has been completed under the supervision and guidance of his grandmother.
His cognition of things, the way of dealing with people, and the construction of moral character all have elements of learning and imitating grandma.In other words, grandma was his mentor throughout the process of personality formation.
Her departure undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to Song Mingxuan.
But Song Mingxuan understands the fate of birth, old age, sickness and death and reincarnation, so although he is sad, he can face it rationally.
Others cannot comfort this kind of thing, and at most they can only say "sad".
Qiao Yuwei sent him a message on the night he returned to Qingcheng, "She didn't leave, she just existed in a different way."
The yellow paper in the brazier was burning brightly, reflecting the lacquer on the coffin.Song Mingxuan looked at the dark night, and typed three words, "I'm fine".But she felt that this would only make her think more, so she deleted them all, and changed the sentence "I think so too".
After returning from Qingcheng, Ye Xiaoying went to pick her up at the station.Song Mingxuan didn't speak all the way, there was nothing but tiredness in his eyes, and his expression was also indifferent, he only forced a smile when Ye Xiaoying asked questions.He even forgot to hold her hand when crossing the street.
Ye Xiaoying thought that he was still immersed in grief, although he was a little disappointed, she didn't take it too seriously.
Qiao Yuwei really wanted to see him, but finally gave up.
After that, Song Mingxuan didn't take the initiative to contact Ye Xiaoying for several days. She called and asked him out for dinner. He said that he missed too many classes and had to catch up with homework.
Ye Xiaoying began to feel that something was wrong.
She called his roommate, and the roommate said that he had been staying in the library for the past few days, did not go to class, and came back after turning off the lights.
At this time, she thought of another person, Qiao Yuwei.She stared at her phone for a long time, but refused to dial it.
Seeing that Song Mingxuan looked like he was dying and refused to see Ye Xiaoying, Zhang Yuwan informed Qiao Yuwei of his condition.
Qiao Yuwei searched the entire library, and finally saw him in the corner of the top floor.He is sleeping.
The setting sun shines down through the floor-to-ceiling windows, soft and warm.
Qiao Yuwei randomly picked up a journal and sat down opposite him.
More than an hour later, Song Mingxuan woke up, saw Qiao Yuwei in a haze, and shook his head vigorously.
Qiao Yu put down the journal slightly and looked at him with a smile.
The two walked out of the library and went to Qishiguang for dinner.
No one noticed Ye Xiaoying who was standing inside the glass door when passing by the school supermarket.
"You haven't slept for three days. You have not only slept for three days in the library, how long do you need to sleep?" Qiao Yu said with a smile while drinking the fish soup.
Song Mingxuan didn't speak, but only cared about eating.
"After eating in a while, you can go for a run with me."
Song Mingxuan stopped his chopsticks and looked up at her, "Are you still losing weight?"
"It's called exercising. You look sub-healthy."
Song Mingxuan continued to grill the rice.
From the seven-color light, the sky has darkened.Car lights are brighter than street lights.
"I heard that many entertainment facilities have been newly built under Yutan Mountain. The mountain has not changed much, right?" Qiao Yuwei asked.
Song Mingxuan looked at her in surprise, "How do you know I've been there?"
Qiao Yu was slightly stunned, how would I know, I guessed, but why did I take it as a fact? "That... I heard what Xia Qinglang said."
"I didn't tell him." Song Mingxuan said with certainty.
"I..." Qiao Yu was at a loss for words, and she could only end the topic in a relatively relaxed way, "Look, you've been talking to death all day."
Song Mingxuan smiled, "You are getting better at chatting."
Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"A roller coaster and a Ferris wheel have been built under the mountain, which is almost half a playground. There is no change on the mountain, and a pavilion has been added in a slightly flat place."
When Song Mingxuan said this, he spoke in an outsider's tone, as if he was describing a product in a window.In his heart, he probably resented the excessive invasion of the land by commercial elements.
Qiao Yuwei guessed that he didn't see grandma for the last time, and he went there to complete some kind of farewell.
That day, Song Mingxuan and Qiao Yuwei stood on the starting line at the same time for the first time.
In the end, when Qiao Yuwei finished seven laps, he didn't stop, but speeded up.
Qiao Yuwei looked at the black shadow like the wind, and said to himself, "Sweat and food are the best friends of human beings."
The next night, Song Mingxuan called Ye Xiaoying.
The two met at the music square.The Mushroom stereo played the background music of the policeman's death in "Infernal Affairs", which was a bit sad.
Does the announcer know the main theme of today's scene? Song Mingxuan laughed in his heart.
The moment Ye Xiaoying saw Song Mingxuan, what appeared in her mind was the scene of him and Qiao Yuwei being together.But his face was calm, and he ran over enthusiastically and stretched out his arms to Song Mingxuan, with an expression of shyness that I still feel pity for.
Song Mingxuan didn't want to go up to meet her, but he couldn't bear to embarrass Ye Xiaoying. He didn't know how to react for a while, he was stunned, and finally grabbed her two arms, put them together, and looked at her seriously, "Xiaoying, I have something to say to tell you."
Ye Xiaoying's expression froze instantly, and something was sinking in her chest.
"I know what you want to say," Ye Xiaoying withdrew her arms and looked at him coldly, "What if I disagree?"
Song Mingxuan looked at her apologetically, "Xiaoying, you should understand that breaking up can be just a matter of one person."
"Of course I understand." Ye Xiaoying's eyes began to freeze, "What I don't understand is which aspect of me is not good enough and which aspect is not worthy of you."
"You haven't. But that's not how feelings are measured."
"So what about the beginning? Was it measured like this in the beginning? Why did you choose me in the first place?"
Song Mingxuan was silent, he couldn't answer Ye Xiaoying's question.
"Is it because of Qiao Yuwei?" After a while, Ye Xiaoying eased her aggressive tone and asked.
Song Mingxuan remained silent.
"It really is her. She really knows people and face but not heart." Ye Xiaoying sarcastically said. "It's a pity that you turned a blind eye to her when she was bloated or ugly; now she is light and beautiful, and beside her is Xiwen, who is even better than you in terms of talent and appearance. Song Mingxuan, do you think she will accept you?" Is it?" The sneer in Ye Xiaoying's eyes was sharp and cold, making people shudder.
"I didn't think about having anything to do with Yuwei, let alone destroy her relationship with Xiwen. I just want to take back my wrong sincerity. Xiaoying, I already understand that the person in my heart is not you, so continue to be with you Being together is the biggest harm to you."
"Take back the sincerity given to the wrong", it turns out that the love between you and me is just a misunderstanding.There was a wry smile on Ye Xiaoying's face.She knew the relationship was broken, and she had no intention of redemption.She was just unwilling to be abandoned by herself.For a long time, she was like a bright moon, surrounded by inconspicuous stars, and no one could cover her light.Any time, any occasion, as long as she exists, everyone else becomes a foil.Such a darling who has always been looked up to, worshiped and held up in the sky cannot tolerate being ignored, trampled on and thrown into the dirt.
She raised her eyes and looked straight at Song Mingxuan again with sharp eyes, "It's okay to break up. But Song Mingxuan, remember, it's not how outstanding you are or how different she is that makes me eliminated, but how close to perfection I, you, are not worthy at all!"
"I know." Song Mingxuan replied with three words sincerely and calmly.
In an instant, Ye Xiaoying felt a deep frustration.She gave Song Mingxuan a final look of resentment, and left without hesitation.
After sitting by the fountain for a long time, Song Mingxuan called Xia Qinglang.Before hanging up, I asked, "Do you have a cigarette?"
The two of them puffed out clouds and fog with the cold wind blowing, and the lingering smoke rings dispersed in the constantly flowing air.
When the background music was replaced by Richard's piano music, Song Mingxuan asked Xia Qinglang an extremely hypocritical question, "Do you think there is pure friendship between a man and a woman? It's a very intimate kind."
"Of course. Otherwise, what are Yuwei and I?" Xia Qinglang blurted out.
Song Mingxuan smiled, "You're asking me too much. But does she know that you and Yuwei are very close?"
"Good boy, is it about closeness? Don't think that you and Yu Wei are deeply affectionate, and I can do it for her. I believe she can do the same for me." Xia Qinglang said firmly, with tears in her nostrils. is self-confidence.
Song Mingxuan agreed with his words and did not refute.He looked at the brightly lit library opposite, and seemed to be looking at a more distant place through the library, and said slowly, "The reason why I was able to have a pure male-female friendship with Yuwei was because I knew clearly Knowing what kind of girl I like, it is impossible to be emotional with her. However, facing her transformed, I can no longer treat her as a buddy."
"When she was with Xiwen, there was a turmoil in my heart, but I didn't know what kind of emotion the turmoil was caused by, and I didn't have the right or qualification to interfere."
"When my grandma passed away, I kept guarding the spirit for three days. In the middle of the night, when I was the saddest and most tired, all I could think of was the rain. She was like a ray of sunshine, able to dispel all shadows. I even remembered our high school days , every little thing I did with her was far away but very clear. Then I realized that maybe I was tempted a long time ago, but that heartbeat was isolated outside the superficial boundary and no one saw it .”
Maybe someone once saw it, Xia Qinglang responded in her heart.A voice from a long time ago sounded in my ears, a little ethereal, "Qing Lang, do you really believe that Song Mingxuan has no affection for Qiao Yuwei at all?"
"As for Xiaoying, I think I like her because of her talent, her beauty, it has nothing to do with love. It was my fault that I realized this too late, but an apology means nothing to her All the hurts in the relationship, only time can heal..."
"What next, what do you want to do?" Why do people go around in circles, provoke others, fool themselves, and end up looking back on the way they came here to find what they had lost? Xia Qinglang felt a little disappointed thought.
Song Mingxuan thought for two seconds before replying, "Let's study. School is for studying."
Xia Qinglang exhaled a word from her nostrils, "Tut."
Song Mingxuan didn't care about his unreasonableness, and continued, "I didn't like the library before, I thought it was boring, but now I find it is a quiet and good place."
"Sleeping peacefully?"
"Screw you."
After hesitating for a while, Xia Qinglang changed her serious tone and asked, "I'm talking about Yuwei, what are your plans?"
Song Mingxuan's expression cooled down instantly, "I have no plans. She is fine now. What I think is up to me alone." At that moment, he suddenly remembered the unsigned greeting card.Maybe he once owned that ray of sunshine, but he ignored it.
☆, I will never be responsible
When Qiao Yuwei heard that Song Mingxuan and Ye Xiaoying had broken up, she thought about asking why, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Xu Junnuo was an intern at a hospital in Songcheng, and he didn't rest on weekends.Xiwen went to Beijing and went to various campus job fairs and company interviews.
Song Mingxuan seldom went to the school to run it, and let octopus ball do everything as much as possible.
The small circle that used to be full of flowers is now devastated.Carefully dodge and avoid each other.
Only time is ignorant of the world and does not care about human feelings and rotates in a regular manner.
In a blink of an eye, half of June has passed.
When the lights were turned off that day, Song Mingxuan received a message, "I'm on the top floor of the chemical laboratory building. Maybe you want to see me for the last time."
It was Ye Xiaoying.
Song Mingxuan was stopped by the administrator aunt when he left the dormitory.
"It's time to go to bed soon, where are you going?"
"Auntie, I have something urgent, please wait, please." Song Mingxuan said and ran out of the iron gate.
He had thought that this was her prank, but what if it wasn't, what if...
He didn't want to think about it.
The music in the square has stopped, the library has been closed, and the deserted campus is eerily quiet.Only the dim street lights make people maintain the last bit of courage to move forward.
After entering the laboratory building, the last light also disappeared.Song Mingxuan turned on the phone and walked in the faint light.
Ye Xiaoying was sitting on the windowsill at the end of the corridor
Qiao Yuwei's face was in hot pain, she poured some ice water from the table into her palm and stuck it on her face.When she turned around, she realized that everyone in the store was focusing on her.She froze for a moment, and walked out of the mushroom house as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Yuwei prayed all the way not to run into acquaintances.Unexpectedly, the world is so small, and they met Song Mingxuan, Ye Xiaoying, and several roommates such as octopus balls in the snack street at the back door.
Qiao Yuwei wanted to hide from passers-by, but Song Mingxuan recognized her in a second.
"Rainy!"
Qiao Yuwei couldn't dodge anymore, so she covered her face with one hand, walked two steps closer and pretended to say hello casually, "Hehe, it's such a coincidence, we can meet you anywhere. Are you going to eat?"
"Hmm. What's wrong with your face?" Song Mingxuan said as he was about to reach out to check.
Qiao Yu took a few steps back again and again, "It's nothing, just a few pimples in puberty, I'm sorry to show it to others."
"Chunchun is gone and acne, you are so embarrassed to say it. Let me see." Song Mingxuan sensed that she was hiding something on purpose, rushed over and pulled her hand away, and a crimson five-fingerprint appeared impressively face.
"Damn! Who did it?! Let's see if labor and capital don't kill him!" Song Mingxuan was furious instantly, causing the passers-by to stare.
Qiao Yu was slightly dumbfounded, "Shh, don't shout, the whole school will know about it in a while."
"What do you mean 'nothing'? Are you stupid? You don't say anything when you are bullied!"
"It's nothing. Besides, if you were that person, you would probably give me a slap." In her heart, Qiao Yuwei felt guilty towards Guan Yichen.But for her best sister, she can only choose to be selfish.Or more importantly, she saw the sincerity of Xu Junnuo and Xia Qinglang.
Song Mingxuan was inexplicable, his eyebrows frowned, "Is there something hidden?"
"Yeah." Qiao Yu nodded slightly.
Song Mingxuan looked at Ye Xiaoying, turned his head and told Octopus Ball, "Take my girlfriend to dinner, I'll come over later, don't wait for me." Then he pulled Qiao Yuwei, "Come with me."
"Oh, no, I'll tell you next time, you go to eat first..."
Song Mingxuan ignored her at all, and walked forward with his head held high.
Qiao Yu sighed slightly, turned her head to look at Ye Xiaoying apologetically, and followed quickly.
Ye Xiaoying looked at the two backs that were gradually moving away, clenched her fists, her long and sharp nails were almost embedded in her skin.
Seeing Ye Xiaoying's ferocious expression, Zhang Yuwan couldn't help but shudder.He began to faintly worry about Qiao Yuwei.
When Xia Qinglang found Xu Junnuo, she was standing on the river bridge, facing the quiet Yunwu Village, shrouded in a dim and warm light.
The night wind is very cool, refreshingly cool.Xia Qinglang really wanted to go over and put clothes on her, but she didn't move a step after all.
After a long silence, Xu Junnuo turned around and faced him, "Why did you come to me?"
"I just want to see you."
Silence again.
A minute later, Xu Junnuo asked, "What about Guan Yichen?"
Xia Qinglang looked at her with complicated eyes, a little annoyed, a little sad, a little at a loss, that look broke Xu Junnuo's heart, his eyes were always bright and clear, never so cloudy, as if lost.
After a while, Xu Junnuo said slowly, "Qing Qing, love is not for games. I didn't know that I liked you before, so I chose to be with Lin Zhe. Now I know that the person I like is you, so I chose to be with Lin Zhe." Zhe broke up. My biggest mistake was that I didn’t see my true heart earlier. But Qingqing, how about you? You always knew that the person you liked was me, right? But you chose Guan Yichen. There’s nothing wrong with that. No one has the obligation to wait for another person. If you are not in love, maybe I will never know that the person I like is you. But if the two of us are together now, what is Guan Yichen? Have you ever thought about it? ?I broke up with Lin Zhe because I understood my heart, not because I want to be with you, do you understand?" It turns out that I can also speak so calmly, so rationally, and so persuasively, Xu Junnuo thought.
Xia Qinglang understood, she understood all of Xu Junnuo's feelings.However, he didn't know how to answer or how to deal with it, he only knew that he could no longer be tied to Guan Yichen, no matter for her or for himself.
"What do you want me to do?"
Xia Qinglang's voice was full of helplessness, and Xu Junnuo's heart was twisted together.
"I don't know. I just can't selfishly ignore Guan Yichen."
"But it's impossible for me and her. Everything is my fault. For her, I can only apologize."
"No one is at fault. Or, we are all at fault."
"How long do you need? How long do you need to let go of all this?"
"I don't know, maybe a year, maybe two years, maybe... I don't know."
"Ok, I will wait for you."
……
After returning from Yunwu, for half a month, there was no contact between Xia Qinglang and Guan Yichen.When they met in class, Guan Yichen also pretended not to know Xia Qinglang at all.She no longer sits in the first row, but at the edge of any row in the middle.Qiao Yuwei likes this position, which is basically equivalent to being invisible.
Xia Qinglang always felt that he owed Guan Yichen an "sorry" and a breakup ceremony to her.So I asked her to go to the mushroom house.The day he had left her there alone, today he had to go after her.
Guan Yichen was half an hour late.
Xia Qinglang's prepared opening remarks, when facing her, all turned into dust and fell to the ground one after another.All that remains is, "What would you like to drink?"
Guan Yichen hated bitterness. He used to only drink latte and had to add enough sugar, but today he ordered Italian style.
She raised her cup and swallowed a few mouthfuls without changing her expression, then looked down at Xia Qinglang with a victim attitude.
"It was you who wanted to be together back then, and you are the one who wants to separate now. Xia Qinglang, you are a scum." Guan Yichen's expression was always understated, but his voice was as cold as ice.
"I'm frivolous, I'm despicable, everything is my fault. Yichen, you can blame me, you can hate me, I just hope you don't feel too sad." Xia Qinglang knew for the first time, that feeling of guilt, It can also be heart-wrenching.
"Don't be sad? Xia Qinglang, don't you find it ridiculous to say such things now? You won't treat me like this if you are afraid that I will be sad!"
"I know that what I say now won't help. But Yichen, you believe me, even if we just met each other, I won't have the intention to hurt you. Besides, we used to be very good friends."
"A very good friend", when Guan Yichen heard these words, his heart was moved.She suddenly remembered what Qiao Yuwei said, "You always knew that the person he likes is not you." I knew, but I wanted more, knowing that the person in his heart was not me, but I would kill myself without hesitation.Thinking about it now, "good friend" is the best ending for me and him.But we can never go back to the military training ground that was burned by the scorching sun.
Guan Yichen sighed softly, "May you grow old together and don't harm others anymore." He got up and walked out of the mushroom house.
She looked up at the dazzlingly white sky without a ray of sunshine, and suddenly hated this season, the long and indifferent winter.
☆、Snow Rose
On the night of the last day of November, the first snow of that winter fell in Songcheng.
In the early morning of the next day, Yu Qingya was woken up by more than a dozen crackling messages.She finished reading sleepily, and immediately became refreshed.Climbed out of bed and went to the balcony to take a look outside, and it was really alluring in silver.Then he climbed onto Qiao Yuwei's bed and rubbed the plush doll on her face.
Qiao Yu opened her eyes for a second, rubbed her eyes, turned on her phone and checked the time, "Why did you get up so early?"
"It's snowing, let's go to the mountains to see the snow." Yu Qingya looked very excited.
"Now?" Qiao Yuwei looked surprised. You must know that at this time, she can't be invited by eight sedan chairs.
"Well, now!" As he said, he pulled the clothes off the wall, "Here, pack up quickly." He said to himself, "No, it doesn't look good. Wait a minute, I'll pick one for you." Yu Qingya As he said that, he climbed out of bed and went to the wardrobe.
Qiao Yuwei was still in a daze. "I still have to go for a run, you lie down for a while, I'll call you after the run."
"No!" Yu Qingya objected immediately.
Qiao Yu looked at her suspiciously.
Realizing that she reacted too strongly, she laughed dryly, "Well, the snow on the mountain may be trampled in a while. You know, the freshmen are the most diligent, and they will definitely go to build snowmen in a while."
Qiao Yuwei was still puzzled, she had never seen her be so devoted to Xue before, but it was really rare, so she followed Yu Qingya. "Then I'll call Xiwen."
"Well, good." Yu Qingya was secretly delighted.
Qiao Yuwei told Xiwen that she couldn't go for a run today, put down the phone, and Yu Qingya shook the light blue floral down jacket in her hand, "How about this one?"
White fur lapel, bubble lantern sleeves, fluffy princess skirt, this style is really elegant.
"Well, yes, it suits you very well."
"What, you wear it."
"Me?" Qiao Yu waved her hand slightly, "I'm fine in my military coat."
"Oh, Yuwei, snow is very sacred. You have to respect it, admire it, and match your clothes according to its hue. Look at this fur, how white and pure it is. Put it on."
Qiao Yuwei was brainwashed.
The morning after the snow was exceptionally quiet.People's feelings for the first snow are always so fierce, there are already early risers rolling snowballs in the square.
There are still few footprints on the mountain.The originally bare branches were covered with white snow, like a bride in a wedding dress.As the breeze passed by, the snowflakes "rusted" and fell, like raving.
Qiao Yu settled down lightly, lest she offend Jingying.Walking cautiously while lingering at the scenery.
Seeing her slow movements, Yu Qingya couldn't help but drag her on her way, "The scenery ahead is better, hurry up."
"Hey, slow down, the good snow has been trampled. Where are you going in such a hurry?"
……
Yu Qingya carried Qiao Yuwei straight to Dicui Pavilion.
When the petals scattered all over the ground came into view, Qiao Yu vaguely guessed something.In the shape of a large, heart-warming heart, the letters "QYW," her initials, are mosaiced in the center.The bright red of roses and the pure white of snow complement each other, making it a delight for the eyes.
At that moment, she was moved and heartbroken.She never thought that one day someone would do this for her, like a fairy tale.She knew it was him.
Xiwen came out slowly from behind the stone pillar of the gazebo. Qiao Yuwei watched him approach step by step, stopped in front of her, knelt down on one knee, took out the gift box from the position of his heart, opened it, and with a sincere and warm voice, "Yuwei ,Will you be my girlfriend?"
She looked at the dazzlingly bright water drop necklace, and her vision became blurred...
Yu Qingya raised her phone and took a picture of this beautiful scene.
Song Mingxuan stared at the picture attached to Yu Qingya's Weibo post for a long time, and then sighed, "After all, you were discovered by others."
☆, spotless ashtray
After Qiao Yuwei and Xiwen got together, Xu Junnuo began to try his best to match Qingya and Octopus Ball.Yu Qingya, who was driven into a desperate situation, blocked her mouth with one sentence, "You are with Xia Qinglang, and I am with octopus balls, how about it?"
From then on, Xu Junnuo never mentioned this matter again.
It's the end of the term again, and the days without classes make people dreamy.
In the afternoon, Yu Qingya ran out of water, and didn't bother to fetch hot water, so she sneaked to Qiao Yu's computer desk and picked up her water glass to "smuggle" into her own.
"You're going to be lazy. Someday I'll spit into the cup." Qiao Yu smiled.
"Hey, you love me the most, I know you won't." Yu Qingya flattered her face.Not wanting to focus on talking, he shook his hand, and the two cups were staggered a little, and a string of water jets fell down, flowing half of the table.Yu Qingya screamed and quickly wiped it with a paper towel.
"You really failed to achieve success and failed to succeed." Qiao Yu slightly reproached.
At this moment, Yu Qingya witnessed a dramatic scene - after a piece of plain white flannel met the water, the handwriting gradually leaked out.
"Yuwei, there are words on it, and it's still blue."
"On what?"
"It's the lining of your photo box."
"Bring it to me to see."
Yu Qingya grabbed the two corners of the flannel and handed it to Qiao Yuwei who was leaning on the bed.
Qiao Yu sat up "suddenly".That piece of whiteness that was originally as white as snow, at this moment, blue writing really appeared.It is a letter, with letterhead, text, and signature.However, the sum total is less than ten words: Chen Tianyu, I am willing, Tang Wanxin.
Qiao Yuwei stared at the three short words in the middle, her thoughts surging.She suddenly remembered that she hadn't contacted Sister Tang for a long time.
Dial the phone, but it has been shut down.Qiao Yuwei immediately recharged the three-digit phone bill, and then dialed, but it was prompted that the phone was turned off.She was inexplicably uneasy.
"It's amazing. This seems to be a plot only in TV dramas. It's obviously a love letter." Yu Qingya was very excited about this discovery. "Yuwei, that 'Tang Wanxin' is the one who gave you the necklace, right? Why do you think she is so smart that she can make words invisible?"
Qiao Yuwei didn't know Sister Tang's full name, but she was undoubtedly the one. "Chen Tianyu" must be someone she once loved. "Go buy some gallstones, you can too."
"Dear? I seem to have heard of it. What is it? What is it for?" Yu Qingya was full of curiosity.
Qiao Yuwei didn't care to talk to her anymore, got up and got out of bed, went to the balcony where there was a little sunshine, put a book on it, and spread the flannelette carefully, as if drying a rare treasure.Don't spoil the words, she thought.
Yu Qingya was puzzled, "Shouldn't this be an extremely private thing? Why would I give it to you?"
Qiao Yuwei didn't know either.She called Sister Tang's phone again, but the phone was still off.
For days, that call was never answered.Qiao Yu faintly had a bad premonition.
When she returned to Qingcheng during the winter vacation, she didn't go home, but went directly to Tang Yifang, but the shop changed hands, and it was replaced by a middle-aged woman who was a bit fat.
Qiao Yuwei hurriedly asked her about Sister Tang, but the person who approached the new owner was a middle-aged man, and she had never met Sister Tang.
Qiao Yuwei was disheartened.But he didn't know where to go, so he stood there in a daze.Only then did I realize that the clothes in the store had changed styles and no longer exclusively sold plus sizes; the counter had also moved, and the chewing gum, ashtray, and spray had all disappeared.
Seeing her depressed mood, the new shop owner couldn't bear it, so he took the account book on the counter and gave her some information. "The man asked me to transfer the money to this person's account. It should be her relatives. You can contact me and try."
Qiao Yuwei quickly thanked her.
The owner of the account is Sister Tang's father. Qiao Yuwei finally found out about her, but she burst into tears.
She is no longer alive.
Cause of death, lung cancer.
Qiao Yu slightly thought of the spotless ashtray.
How much she wished it wasn't true, but it was just hope.
Facts never make sense.
Not long after putting down the phone, there was a call back.It was a different person, the voice of a middle-aged man, it was Sister Tang's brother.He asked Qiao Yuwei's name, and said that Sister Tang had left her a letter.
Qiao Yuwei got the letter and refused to open it for a long time.
In this world, the last thing people want to face is probably farewell.
In the middle of the night, she lit a candle and read those words in the dim light.
Only the warmth of fire can dispel the cold of death.
"Yuwei, when I first saw you, I thought you were very similar to me. To be precise, you were very similar to me at your age..."
"I once liked a boy. He was very good to me. When I was a 180-pound fat girl, when everyone was unwilling to play with me. When I graduated, I was afraid that we would never see each other again. Even though he was worried, even though he was afraid, he mustered up the courage to confess to him, and he said, can't we be friends?"
"I haven't received much warmth, so I received some kind charity, and I thought it was love. His rejection made me sober, and made me see myself clearly..."
"I think the reason why I was able to endure the pain of those bone-eroding surgeries and drugs was to make him regret one day..."
"I completed the transformation as I wished, and stood in front of him again as a graceful lady, as I wished, and saw the astonishment in his eyes as I wished."
"After another class reunion, he sent me home and said he liked me. I said, you didn't choose me when I wasn't good enough. Now that I'm better, I can have a better choice, right?"
"No one knows how happy I was when I said these words, and no one knows how much I regretted them after I said them..."
"I like him, but out of the worthless self-esteem in my heart, I am so worried about his rejection at the beginning."
"In fact, most of us judge people by their appearance. But most of the time, when we are underestimated and treated unfairly, we will only blame others for their superficiality, vulgarity, and snobbery, and cannot accept it with tolerance."
"Yuwei, I want to tell you that if you can't change the prejudices of those you care about, you can become a better self to make them impeccable, or give up caring for them. In love, you must obey your own Mind, don't let any other unrelated emotions influence your choice."
The next day, Qiao Yuwei went to the cemetery.In front of Sister Tang's tomb, she met that man.
Chen Tianyu noticed the heart-shaped photo box on her chest. He gave Tang Wanxin a photo box of the same style during the Spring Festival of a certain year, inlaid with amethyst, Tang Wanxin's birthstone.
Chen Tianyu told her something about him and Miss Tang when they were in middle school.
"One time Wanxin suffered from acute appendicitis, she was sweating profusely from the pain, and fell to the ground. No one in the class could recite her, and few people were willing to recite it. I begged another boy to carry her into the taxi with me. car. That was the most helpless time I've ever felt."
"There was another time when a few of us were late and didn't want to be registered by the guard, so we climbed in from the fence next to the playground. I set up stepping stones for Wanxin and sent her up, but she didn't dare to jump. The next step is to meet her. After that, my arm was broken. Wanxin was scolded by her classmates for a long time because of this. She was very guilty and kept apologizing to me. She went to the hospital to visit me every day and took notes for me. In fact, she should feel guilty about the person who should apologize it's me."
……
Qiao Yuwei listened to these stories and imagined the scene at that time. She was obviously very sad, but she burst into tears from laughter.
She handed him the "letter" with only nine characters.She thought this was what Sister Tang meant.
It just so happened that she wore the necklace and forgot to put away the interlining that day, just happened that Yu Qingya flooded the computer desk, just happened to meet this man here today, all of this seemed to be predestined, but it was a fateful regret...
On New Year's Eve that year, there was still no fireworks display in Baihu Park.The small colorful flags of the Spring Festival Gala magically rotated for four hours and stood still.
☆, rain flower stone
The new semester begins.
As soon as Mingxia entered the dormitory, she left her suitcase and took out a small thing from her schoolbag and gave it to Yu Qingya.
It is a stone, almost round, red and white, scattered like water ripples, the surface is smooth and shiny, and there is a natural crescent-shaped crack on one side.
"Yuhuashi!" Yu Qingya exclaimed. "Where did you get it?"
"I went to Yuetang during the winter vacation. I picked it up on the side of the road. There are such stones everywhere."
"Really? Then I have to go and see it when I have a chance."
Qiao Yu took a slight look at Mingxia and said with a smile, "You are so lucky. There are people coming and going on the main road, but you just picked it up."
Mingxia heard what Qiao Yuwei meant, she blushed, ignored her, and went back to her seat to flip through the book.
The weather is getting warmer, and the grass grows and the warblers fly.On the grass next to the square, the peach trees newly planted last year are blooming.The passing children all ran over to take a group photo, their faces glowing with peach blossoms.
The breeze is warm, and the pleasant spring is always sadly short.After a few spring rains, the ground is red.When the weather cleared up, the sun was already burning the skin, just like the warm-up before summer.
A bad news wrinkled Song Mingxuan's originally peaceful campus life like a pool of water.Grandma Song passed away.
In a sense, grandma had far more influence on Song Mingxuan than his parents.
From a babbling toddler to a mature teenager who can judge and think independently, his growth over the past ten years has been completed under the supervision and guidance of his grandmother.
His cognition of things, the way of dealing with people, and the construction of moral character all have elements of learning and imitating grandma.In other words, grandma was his mentor throughout the process of personality formation.
Her departure undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to Song Mingxuan.
But Song Mingxuan understands the fate of birth, old age, sickness and death and reincarnation, so although he is sad, he can face it rationally.
Others cannot comfort this kind of thing, and at most they can only say "sad".
Qiao Yuwei sent him a message on the night he returned to Qingcheng, "She didn't leave, she just existed in a different way."
The yellow paper in the brazier was burning brightly, reflecting the lacquer on the coffin.Song Mingxuan looked at the dark night, and typed three words, "I'm fine".But she felt that this would only make her think more, so she deleted them all, and changed the sentence "I think so too".
After returning from Qingcheng, Ye Xiaoying went to pick her up at the station.Song Mingxuan didn't speak all the way, there was nothing but tiredness in his eyes, and his expression was also indifferent, he only forced a smile when Ye Xiaoying asked questions.He even forgot to hold her hand when crossing the street.
Ye Xiaoying thought that he was still immersed in grief, although he was a little disappointed, she didn't take it too seriously.
Qiao Yuwei really wanted to see him, but finally gave up.
After that, Song Mingxuan didn't take the initiative to contact Ye Xiaoying for several days. She called and asked him out for dinner. He said that he missed too many classes and had to catch up with homework.
Ye Xiaoying began to feel that something was wrong.
She called his roommate, and the roommate said that he had been staying in the library for the past few days, did not go to class, and came back after turning off the lights.
At this time, she thought of another person, Qiao Yuwei.She stared at her phone for a long time, but refused to dial it.
Seeing that Song Mingxuan looked like he was dying and refused to see Ye Xiaoying, Zhang Yuwan informed Qiao Yuwei of his condition.
Qiao Yuwei searched the entire library, and finally saw him in the corner of the top floor.He is sleeping.
The setting sun shines down through the floor-to-ceiling windows, soft and warm.
Qiao Yuwei randomly picked up a journal and sat down opposite him.
More than an hour later, Song Mingxuan woke up, saw Qiao Yuwei in a haze, and shook his head vigorously.
Qiao Yu put down the journal slightly and looked at him with a smile.
The two walked out of the library and went to Qishiguang for dinner.
No one noticed Ye Xiaoying who was standing inside the glass door when passing by the school supermarket.
"You haven't slept for three days. You have not only slept for three days in the library, how long do you need to sleep?" Qiao Yu said with a smile while drinking the fish soup.
Song Mingxuan didn't speak, but only cared about eating.
"After eating in a while, you can go for a run with me."
Song Mingxuan stopped his chopsticks and looked up at her, "Are you still losing weight?"
"It's called exercising. You look sub-healthy."
Song Mingxuan continued to grill the rice.
From the seven-color light, the sky has darkened.Car lights are brighter than street lights.
"I heard that many entertainment facilities have been newly built under Yutan Mountain. The mountain has not changed much, right?" Qiao Yuwei asked.
Song Mingxuan looked at her in surprise, "How do you know I've been there?"
Qiao Yu was slightly stunned, how would I know, I guessed, but why did I take it as a fact? "That... I heard what Xia Qinglang said."
"I didn't tell him." Song Mingxuan said with certainty.
"I..." Qiao Yu was at a loss for words, and she could only end the topic in a relatively relaxed way, "Look, you've been talking to death all day."
Song Mingxuan smiled, "You are getting better at chatting."
Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"A roller coaster and a Ferris wheel have been built under the mountain, which is almost half a playground. There is no change on the mountain, and a pavilion has been added in a slightly flat place."
When Song Mingxuan said this, he spoke in an outsider's tone, as if he was describing a product in a window.In his heart, he probably resented the excessive invasion of the land by commercial elements.
Qiao Yuwei guessed that he didn't see grandma for the last time, and he went there to complete some kind of farewell.
That day, Song Mingxuan and Qiao Yuwei stood on the starting line at the same time for the first time.
In the end, when Qiao Yuwei finished seven laps, he didn't stop, but speeded up.
Qiao Yuwei looked at the black shadow like the wind, and said to himself, "Sweat and food are the best friends of human beings."
The next night, Song Mingxuan called Ye Xiaoying.
The two met at the music square.The Mushroom stereo played the background music of the policeman's death in "Infernal Affairs", which was a bit sad.
Does the announcer know the main theme of today's scene? Song Mingxuan laughed in his heart.
The moment Ye Xiaoying saw Song Mingxuan, what appeared in her mind was the scene of him and Qiao Yuwei being together.But his face was calm, and he ran over enthusiastically and stretched out his arms to Song Mingxuan, with an expression of shyness that I still feel pity for.
Song Mingxuan didn't want to go up to meet her, but he couldn't bear to embarrass Ye Xiaoying. He didn't know how to react for a while, he was stunned, and finally grabbed her two arms, put them together, and looked at her seriously, "Xiaoying, I have something to say to tell you."
Ye Xiaoying's expression froze instantly, and something was sinking in her chest.
"I know what you want to say," Ye Xiaoying withdrew her arms and looked at him coldly, "What if I disagree?"
Song Mingxuan looked at her apologetically, "Xiaoying, you should understand that breaking up can be just a matter of one person."
"Of course I understand." Ye Xiaoying's eyes began to freeze, "What I don't understand is which aspect of me is not good enough and which aspect is not worthy of you."
"You haven't. But that's not how feelings are measured."
"So what about the beginning? Was it measured like this in the beginning? Why did you choose me in the first place?"
Song Mingxuan was silent, he couldn't answer Ye Xiaoying's question.
"Is it because of Qiao Yuwei?" After a while, Ye Xiaoying eased her aggressive tone and asked.
Song Mingxuan remained silent.
"It really is her. She really knows people and face but not heart." Ye Xiaoying sarcastically said. "It's a pity that you turned a blind eye to her when she was bloated or ugly; now she is light and beautiful, and beside her is Xiwen, who is even better than you in terms of talent and appearance. Song Mingxuan, do you think she will accept you?" Is it?" The sneer in Ye Xiaoying's eyes was sharp and cold, making people shudder.
"I didn't think about having anything to do with Yuwei, let alone destroy her relationship with Xiwen. I just want to take back my wrong sincerity. Xiaoying, I already understand that the person in my heart is not you, so continue to be with you Being together is the biggest harm to you."
"Take back the sincerity given to the wrong", it turns out that the love between you and me is just a misunderstanding.There was a wry smile on Ye Xiaoying's face.She knew the relationship was broken, and she had no intention of redemption.She was just unwilling to be abandoned by herself.For a long time, she was like a bright moon, surrounded by inconspicuous stars, and no one could cover her light.Any time, any occasion, as long as she exists, everyone else becomes a foil.Such a darling who has always been looked up to, worshiped and held up in the sky cannot tolerate being ignored, trampled on and thrown into the dirt.
She raised her eyes and looked straight at Song Mingxuan again with sharp eyes, "It's okay to break up. But Song Mingxuan, remember, it's not how outstanding you are or how different she is that makes me eliminated, but how close to perfection I, you, are not worthy at all!"
"I know." Song Mingxuan replied with three words sincerely and calmly.
In an instant, Ye Xiaoying felt a deep frustration.She gave Song Mingxuan a final look of resentment, and left without hesitation.
After sitting by the fountain for a long time, Song Mingxuan called Xia Qinglang.Before hanging up, I asked, "Do you have a cigarette?"
The two of them puffed out clouds and fog with the cold wind blowing, and the lingering smoke rings dispersed in the constantly flowing air.
When the background music was replaced by Richard's piano music, Song Mingxuan asked Xia Qinglang an extremely hypocritical question, "Do you think there is pure friendship between a man and a woman? It's a very intimate kind."
"Of course. Otherwise, what are Yuwei and I?" Xia Qinglang blurted out.
Song Mingxuan smiled, "You're asking me too much. But does she know that you and Yuwei are very close?"
"Good boy, is it about closeness? Don't think that you and Yu Wei are deeply affectionate, and I can do it for her. I believe she can do the same for me." Xia Qinglang said firmly, with tears in her nostrils. is self-confidence.
Song Mingxuan agreed with his words and did not refute.He looked at the brightly lit library opposite, and seemed to be looking at a more distant place through the library, and said slowly, "The reason why I was able to have a pure male-female friendship with Yuwei was because I knew clearly Knowing what kind of girl I like, it is impossible to be emotional with her. However, facing her transformed, I can no longer treat her as a buddy."
"When she was with Xiwen, there was a turmoil in my heart, but I didn't know what kind of emotion the turmoil was caused by, and I didn't have the right or qualification to interfere."
"When my grandma passed away, I kept guarding the spirit for three days. In the middle of the night, when I was the saddest and most tired, all I could think of was the rain. She was like a ray of sunshine, able to dispel all shadows. I even remembered our high school days , every little thing I did with her was far away but very clear. Then I realized that maybe I was tempted a long time ago, but that heartbeat was isolated outside the superficial boundary and no one saw it .”
Maybe someone once saw it, Xia Qinglang responded in her heart.A voice from a long time ago sounded in my ears, a little ethereal, "Qing Lang, do you really believe that Song Mingxuan has no affection for Qiao Yuwei at all?"
"As for Xiaoying, I think I like her because of her talent, her beauty, it has nothing to do with love. It was my fault that I realized this too late, but an apology means nothing to her All the hurts in the relationship, only time can heal..."
"What next, what do you want to do?" Why do people go around in circles, provoke others, fool themselves, and end up looking back on the way they came here to find what they had lost? Xia Qinglang felt a little disappointed thought.
Song Mingxuan thought for two seconds before replying, "Let's study. School is for studying."
Xia Qinglang exhaled a word from her nostrils, "Tut."
Song Mingxuan didn't care about his unreasonableness, and continued, "I didn't like the library before, I thought it was boring, but now I find it is a quiet and good place."
"Sleeping peacefully?"
"Screw you."
After hesitating for a while, Xia Qinglang changed her serious tone and asked, "I'm talking about Yuwei, what are your plans?"
Song Mingxuan's expression cooled down instantly, "I have no plans. She is fine now. What I think is up to me alone." At that moment, he suddenly remembered the unsigned greeting card.Maybe he once owned that ray of sunshine, but he ignored it.
☆, I will never be responsible
When Qiao Yuwei heard that Song Mingxuan and Ye Xiaoying had broken up, she thought about asking why, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Xu Junnuo was an intern at a hospital in Songcheng, and he didn't rest on weekends.Xiwen went to Beijing and went to various campus job fairs and company interviews.
Song Mingxuan seldom went to the school to run it, and let octopus ball do everything as much as possible.
The small circle that used to be full of flowers is now devastated.Carefully dodge and avoid each other.
Only time is ignorant of the world and does not care about human feelings and rotates in a regular manner.
In a blink of an eye, half of June has passed.
When the lights were turned off that day, Song Mingxuan received a message, "I'm on the top floor of the chemical laboratory building. Maybe you want to see me for the last time."
It was Ye Xiaoying.
Song Mingxuan was stopped by the administrator aunt when he left the dormitory.
"It's time to go to bed soon, where are you going?"
"Auntie, I have something urgent, please wait, please." Song Mingxuan said and ran out of the iron gate.
He had thought that this was her prank, but what if it wasn't, what if...
He didn't want to think about it.
The music in the square has stopped, the library has been closed, and the deserted campus is eerily quiet.Only the dim street lights make people maintain the last bit of courage to move forward.
After entering the laboratory building, the last light also disappeared.Song Mingxuan turned on the phone and walked in the faint light.
Ye Xiaoying was sitting on the windowsill at the end of the corridor
