Falling in love with you through the clouds

"Hey! I know who your boyfriend is!" In the first class in the morning, Ms. Ke Yiting saw me entering the classroom and immediately grabbed me to the corner.

"Why... I haven't put anything away..."

Yiting smiled ambiguously, seeing no one was around, approached me and whispered, "Is it a big star?"

"What, what big star..."

"Still pretending to be stupid? Ah Jun is your boyfriend, isn't he?" I didn't expect her to guess right, and it was difficult to react for a while.

She pursed her lips and complained: "Really, I saw it! You came to school in his car, and you made great progress! But you are really not mean, you don't even talk about it? We have known each other for so long!"

"I'm sorry... I don't know if I should say it..."

"What should I say? It's a good thing! You're with a rising star! Hey...how do you feel?"

When talking about the time with Han Jun, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth happily. "It's not like that when couples are together..."

"Hey! I'm so happy that I can laugh! It's dead, it's dead!" Yi Ting grabbed my hand and yelled and jumped, attracting inquiries from two other classmates; we ended the conversation hastily, and ran to the bathroom after putting away our things Keep talking.

However, Yiting's reaction reassured me a little. I thought she would protest fiercely or blame me for not saying anything... It seems that I was worrying too much.

"The truth is out!" Yi Ting, who was washing his hands, burst out suddenly. "Hey! That's over, there is a guy who has a crush on you who is destined to cry secretly... How pitiful."

I was also washing my hands and shaking, knowing that Yiting deliberately put bait for me to bite, I still couldn't help but swallow it in one gulp. "Who are you talking about?"

"The one who got to know us very well recently?" Yi Ting put his hips on his hips, looking eager for my guess.

"Are you well-versed?"

"Cut! Can't you feel it?" Facing my doubts, she flicked her little finger. "Hey, then I won't talk about it, you go and issue the card yourself!"

He actually left halfway through the sentence!I couldn't help asking, "Who the hell is it?"

"Think about it yourself!"

"Ke Yiting!"

The Monday of the junior year was still full of classes, and it was hard to have a breathing room after noon.

Yi Ting went to work in the club, and Tao Yi'an and I ate at the same table. I bought Bak Kut Teh noodles to take away, while he ate the lunch box he brought.

"Xiaoning, December [-]nd, are you free?"

I checked my calendar, it's next Friday.

"Let me think about it, um...it should be okay, I'm going home the next day, what's wrong?"

"I plan to hold a simple birthday dinner at my house, and I would like to invite you." Tao Yi'an put down the fork and wiped his mouth habitually. "It won't be too long, just have dinner, about six o'clock in the evening."

"It turned out to be like this, happy birthday! That day..." On Friday, the mermaid will sing in Plato. "Where is your home?"

He gave an address, and I looked it up, um... It's a long way from their house to Plato.I don't know if it's too late...

"Is there any difficulty?"

"No, it's all right to go; but I'm sure I'll go somewhere else when it's over."

"If there is trouble in traffic, I can have my driver take you to your destination."

I was amazed at how fast he was! "Is this really... okay?"

He smiled, "Of course! I very much hope that Xiaoning can come." He lowered his head and curled his face, "After all, you are the first person who is willing to accept me. I like...your friend very much."

That sentence was too deliberate.

'The one we got to know very well recently? 'Yiting's words seemed to be replayed in my ears.

I glanced at his side face, he seemed to be smiling contentedly, and put the noodles on the fork into his mouth.

"Then it's settled? Next week at six o'clock in the evening, I will look forward to your arrival."

"Hmm..." I bit my lip, feeling very uneasy; the moment he was full and closed the lunch box, I called him, "Tao, Tao Yi'an! I...I can—"

"Can?"

"Looking for someone... to go with me?"

***

Every night at 09:30, as long as Han Jun doesn't come to see me, it's like TV time.

But there is no TV in my room.

Because it would be more expensive to add cable and TV to the rent; Sister Tao has it, so whenever there is a program I want to watch, I have to come to her; besides Sister Tao who needs to fight cockroaches and spiders, I now have another one with her. Reasons to meet often.

At 25:[-], the show was coming to an end, and I was looking forward to the next show, so I couldn't help talking to Sister Tao who was sitting in front of the computer before I saw the point.

"Sister Tao, let me ask you a question."

"Ok?"

"Have you ever been in love?"

Sister Tao caressed her boy-like short hair, tilted her head and smiled and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask me this question?"

"I just want to say that you are so beautiful, you should be chased by many people, right? For example, you have been chased by more than two boys at the same time, or it is a present progressive, and then the person who knows you have a date is still persistent in you."

What I'm asking is actually my current situation.

"I was chased by boys, but more than two... I don't know, maybe there were, but they didn't say. What's the matter?"

"That's right...not anymore! Just... I just found out today that someone actually decided to chase me after knowing that I have a boyfriend... Wait a minute, does that count as a decision to chase me?" It doesn't seem to be true, After all, no confession.

However, Tao Yi'an's expression was too obvious.

The tone is too, so obvious...it has gone beyond the boundary of suggestion.

What started it?

Yu Xiaoning, you are already 20 years old. Although it is not that you have not received love letters from others before, it is the first time in your life that the peach blossoms are so prosperous!

Should you be happy or sad?

"It seems that you are very popular! Also, you are so cute and friendly." There seemed to be a trace of envy in Sister Tao's tone. "Let me tell you, for a girl of my height, even if you say I'm beautiful, most boys will still shy away when they see it, because boys usually don't look for girls who are taller than themselves."

She raised her head to meet Sister Tao, who was sorting out the photos and typing this passage with a smile on her face when she said this, and she didn't see the frustration of being too tall at all.

"Sister Tao, how tall are you? I'm only [-]!" Han Jun was more than half a head shorter!

"I'm one hundred and eighty, can't you tell?" Her half-smile was charming, but I was attracted by the photos displayed on her computer screen.

"Where is that?" I jumped off the sofa.

Sister Tao clicked on the photo, "Jiaming Lake. Do you know?"

"Is it in Taiwan?"

"Well, in Taitung...it has a beautiful nickname, 'Angel's Tears'."

The Jiaming Lake mentioned by Sister Tao is in the center of the photo. The blue water of the lake and the green land around it shine even more with the blue sky and white clouds... The tears of angels are really beautiful.

Half admiring, half admiring, I asked, "When did you go?"

"Just before renting here." Sister Tao glanced at the TV, "It seems that your show is about to start."

"Ah!" Yes, I didn't watch a Japanese drama today!I grabbed the remote control and turned the channel. The title of the show was playing, and there was still time!

I sat back where I was full of anticipation, and swiped my phone to confirm that the show is going to be aired today; senior Jack in the group said that the video of the previous announcement will be broadcast today, just kidding me as the number one fan, no matter what look!

"Variety show? Aren't you watching a Japanese drama today?" She was a little surprised.

"No! Because today is very special." I couldn't restrain the corners of my mouth from rising, and there was a little mystery in my smile.

It was an old-fashioned talk show that invited them, and there was a certain degree of support among us college students; even though my sister’s voice was not fully recovered at that time, she still went to record it... It’s obviously someone who can easily meet , it really feels different on stage than on TV.

I stared fascinatedly, not giving up any scenes of Han Jun appearing in the show, maybe it was the arrangement of the show, and even asked him to play and sing a short section to make up for the lack of sister Saya's inability to sing live; "Rainbow" is the best and best sound I've ever heard!

"Mermaid? Is it your favorite group...Xiaoning? What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'm okay." When he sang "Please let me be your rainbow", I burst into tears... It felt like he sang to me through the camera, counting the time, he went At the time of the show, we had only dated for a few days. "Yes! They are the first band in our school, I like it very much."

Sister Tao gently pressed my shoulder with one hand, looked at the TV, then turned her head, "Are you too touched?"

"Ah."

"That red guitar..." she said suddenly, "Is it the one in your room?"

When I looked up, I could only see Sister Tao's smooth chin, "You know?"

"I saw it last time I went to help you catch spiders. I wanted to say that you didn't play... Oh! I understand." Sister Tao's almond-like eyes had a hint of clarity. "Is he your boyfriend?"

I wiped away my tears and nodded with a smile. "His name is Lu Hanjun. We've known each other since freshman year, but we just got together recently."

"You guys are a good fit."

"Thank you!"

After saying this, Sister Tao went back to the computer and continued to work; the host inevitably asked some questions about her private life at the end of the show. Except for senior Jack, Lu Snake and Senior Monk had no girlfriends, so they were immediately dismissed Just kidding, I feel that Senior Monk is not very happy!

Finally it was Han Jun's turn, when asked by the host if he had a girlfriend, he smiled, 'No! '

He said... no?

Holding the toilet paper, I froze in place, even... even though I knew it was probably for the effect of the show, it was still a little sad to hear it through the screen.

The host continued to ask about the type of girl he likes - tall, long hair, gentle, not necessarily beautiful, but with a good personality, the most important thing - "It would be great if I could stand on stage with me and sing together ...'

The camera captured the faces of the other members, and they all acted a little embarrassed, Saya suddenly interrupted him and said, "Then why didn't you come to chase me back then, tell me!" 'It made the audience laugh out loud...

"When was it recorded?" Sister Tao slid the computer chair to my side at some point, "Is he talking about his ex-girlfriend's conditions?"

"It was recorded a month ago...we are already together."

If the tears shed after listening to "Rainbow" just now were tears of happiness, then I must be crying tears of loss and sadness at this moment.

The person he said is not like me... I am not tall, my hair barely reaches the shoulder line, and I can only be a cheering group when I go to KTV.

Why did he say that?

We were already together at that time... Even if we cooperated for the sake of the show, it would be too thorough, right?He didn't even think I'd see this show?

The TV screen went black immediately, and it was only when I came back to my senses that Sister Tao had turned off the TV. Without the sound from the TV, my sobbing and choking became more obvious. "Don't look, you are very sad."

In fact, the show is already over... I nodded, sister Tao first touched my face lightly, and then opened her arms to hug me in the next second.Although she is a girl, her hands are strong and her body is warm and reliable... It was like a faucet was turned on. I buried my face in her chest and wept desperately. She patted me regularly and gently like a big sister. My back until my emotions are fully vented.

"feelling better?"

"Um... ah, Sister Tao, your clothes..." The shirt on her chest was completely stained by me, and I hurriedly took toilet paper to wipe it, but she smiled and said "I don't care". "sorry."

"It's okay, but you have to argue with your boyfriend." Sister Tao looked at the TV and snorted coldly, looking a little disdainful. "Even if you're on a show, you can't lie."

"He, he should be just for the effect of the show..."

"So he explained to you that he said that on the show?"

I was suffocated. Facing Sister Tao's forceful questioning, I could no longer argue for Han Jun.

"No, right? You didn't look like you were mentally prepared just now." Probably realizing that her tone was too tough, her tone immediately softened. "Listen, Xiaoning, your gentleness and tolerance are the biggest strengths of your personality—it is also a weakness. You can't let go of this kind of thing lightly. If he did it unintentionally or on purpose, maybe it's worth forgiving. But it was a mistake in itself not to let you see beforehand; let alone what if he had ulterior motives?"

"Sister Tao..."

She took a deep breath and looked away. "In short, I think this boy should be careful. He may treat you very well when you are together, but there is no guarantee that he will not use this trick to other girls..."

"I see! I'll figure it out!" I pursed my lips and stood up. Although it was impolite to interrupt her, I couldn't just listen to her criticize Han Jun quietly. "Thank you Sister Tao, I feel much better, and excuse me." Now at ten o'clock in the evening, I should go back.

Without waiting for her to respond, I grabbed my phone and keys and went back to my room, completely erasing what Sister Tao said and the program I just watched from my mind.

We've known each other for a long time, I love him, I can't breathe without him, I depend on him, and he's good to me... So, he loves me too, right?

When was the last time I heard Han Jun say "I love you" himself?

I tried to think about it, but all I could think of was——

Blank.
