If the fleeting year has not come

When we went out for a stroll, we thought about what to do when we went out, and after reaching an inexplicable consensus, we walked to the swimming pool not far from the Li Bookstore, bought swimsuits at the entrance that were twice the market price, and entered the venue.

While we were washing our swimsuits in the shower, Han Xin threw the new swimsuits to Hao Meng, and then sat by the dressing table, took out the makeup remover in her bag and touched her face. It turned out that she had already prepared for it.

The eyes of the world are always sharp and frightening. When I put on my swimsuit, a thing that I had ignored for a long time appeared before my eyes.I usually wear long trousers when I go out, and the marks left by scleroderma only show a little on the arms. People may intuitively think that it is a birthmark or a large scar, but after changing into a swimsuit, the legs and shoulders are difficult to cover up, not just in the dressing room. The strangers here, including Li Zhiyang and others who went with them, stared wide-eyed, with shock written all over their faces.

"You guys are in the ink..." Han Xin showed her original face after removing her makeup, and appeared in the corridor of the shower room. When she saw me changing into a swimsuit, I was obviously stunned. I frowned and thought for a long time, but I didn't seem to find a suitable one. Words, can only look at me blankly.

I was speechless for a while. When I was a child, I had low self-esteem because of the spots on my body. Recently, I may have lived too peacefully and completely forgot about it. This mistake made today. The swimming pool is really not for people like me. It's not very good to hide yourself early in the morning.

"Go in." Li Zhiyang was the first to come back to his senses, walked to my side and tugged at my hand, secretly sizing me up with cautious eyes that couldn't be concealed.

"I always thought that your family was harmonious and beautiful, and I envied you. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to your family." Han Xin murmured to himself with a strong and unbelievable tone.

"Ah?" I tried my best to ignore the constant boredom in my heart, and used monosyllables to blend into the topic to ease the embarrassment.

"Domestic violence, is it your father or your mother? I didn't see that Auntie Ye was so approachable and violent, but the stepmother was also sad. But with such a deep scar, could it be a mixed doubles?" Han Xin said bluntly. explain.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense!" Although Hao Meng stopped Han Xin, the expression on his face showed that he couldn't agree more.

Suddenly there was a feeling of dumbfounding, should I try to explain or let their strength take the blame.

"No wonder you suddenly went to school in other places. You really can't stay in such a family." Han Xin came to a conclusion before and after contacting him independently, without my explanation at all, "Let's go in, every family has hard-to-recite scriptures. Understand."

So I walked into the swimming pool surrounded by three women with inexplicable sympathy and understanding. The original mood of self-pity and self-love was swept away in an instant, and there was a kind of excitement and stimulation of blaming others.

Although scleroderma is not a rare disease, most people should have no chance of suffering from it. It is reasonable to be misunderstood by them, and it is not a loss to take the opportunity to gain sympathy.

The swimming pool in summer is overcrowded, and it is the weekend during the summer vacation. All kinds of children, big and small, gather together. The swimming pool is full of people, and several pools of different depths are full of people like dumplings.

Han Xin and Hao Meng looked like old horses who knew the way, no matter how many people were there, they plunged into the water and swam in a crowded place like a bathhouse.If there is anything more frustrating than morning and evening rush hour traffic jams, it must be the swimming pool at 03:30 pm on summer weekends.

"I rented a life buoy." Li Zhiyang got a beige life buoy from somewhere, with the kitten's head and tail sticking out, and hung it around my neck, "Let's go to the shallow water area. So flustered."

Following Li Zhiyang to the shallow water area, I felt an inexplicable guilt. The depth of the water was less than 1.3 meters, and I could still show my shoulders standing in it. The water was full of children under the age of eight practicing kicking accompanied by their parents. Or hold your breath, and the older ones will go to the 1.5-meter pool next door.

"I'm not very good at teaching this, why don't you lie on the swimming ring and try to kick the water?" Li Zhiyang went down into the pool and swam around me in circles.

"I think it's good for me to soak my feet here." Sitting by the pool, I politely rejected Li Zhiyang's proposal.

What's the difference between doing this and those little kids next to me who are five years younger than me? I really want to bury her with blank eyes. Not being able to learn to swim is a trivial matter. Losing talent is the most unbearable thing.

Ever since I stepped into the swimming pool, I have always felt the strange eyes of the people around me. From looking at the scars on my body to entering the children's swimming pool in amazement, I thought I had the habit of looking at others with pity, but probably no one would get used to looking at something different from ordinary people's eyes. Bar.Suddenly I felt that I should go to the deep water area, or at least go to a 1.5-meter pool, and only expose my head so that they don't have to look at it.

"But it's hard for you to learn how to swim like this." Li Zhiyang said awkwardly.

"Anyway, I'm just here to play, it's okay." The situation suddenly changed to me comforting Li Zhiyang.

"But isn't this boring?" Li Zhiyang also came out of the water, sat by the pool, and suddenly stood up again, "The grilled sausages here are delicious, I'll go buy some."

Saying this, Li Zhiyang walked to the snack area outside the venue on his own.I took off the swimming ring hanging on my body and put it aside, such a childlike thing is a little childish.Seeing her back gradually blending into the crowd, for some reason, I suddenly had the feeling that she was trying to please me.

In the past, our relationship was just sitting at the same table, complaining to each other and copying homework, chatting and passing notes in class, sneaking out to buy snacks halfway, or covering each other when being called by the teacher. This kind of normal relationship is no different from other good friends.But I don’t know when she started to accept my preferences, such as playing games in 3D, watching my favorite anime and reading my favorite novels, and even the favorite color has changed from green to beige, which is strange. The change is really just a subtle influence between good friends, I don't know.

"Hey, why are you just sitting there!" Han Xin's voice suddenly came out when I was free to think.

Before I could turn my head back, I was pushed into the water from behind by a strong force in the next second.No reaction time was given at all, a large amount of water rushed over unsuspectingly, the ears, eyes and mouth were full of water, and even the nose choked a lot of water into it.A feeling of suffocation hits me, I can't swim, and struggling is futile.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Li Zhiyang's anxious voice came, and then he supported my shoulder with one hand and pulled me out of the water, "Try to step on the ground with your feet, it's very shallow, you can step on it. "

The soft voice was in my ears, I just choked on a few sips of water and I didn’t lose consciousness. I cheered up and tried to stand on tiptoe. The 1.3-meter pool was really shallow, and I finally stood up down-to-earth.

Han Xin by the pool also panicked. Seeing me standing up, he quickly stretched out his hands and pulled me ashore. He looked apologetically at my nose and mouth full of water.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I thought you could stand up at once, after all, the water is so shallow..." Han Xin apologized in a broken voice beside him.

"Are you Sabi? How can a person who can't swim think of so many things when you push him down like this?" Li Zhiyang patted me on the back and asked loudly, Han, a new friend who I didn't know for two hours. Xin.

"I even said I'm sorry, didn't people catch it..."

"Cough cough..." After coughing for a long time, I finally managed to catch my breath. Looking at Han Xin who was probably frightened by the red eye circles, it was really hard to blame him. I could only comfort the angry Li Zhiyang next to me. "Forget it, it's all right, where's my sausage?"

"How can someone be so careless? People say they can't swim anymore..." Li Zhiyang muttered a few words in a low voice, unconvinced, and glanced at the grilled sausage that fell by the pool, "I was scared out of my mind just now, If I have time to worry about grilled sausages, I'll go buy them again."

"Okay." The topic was successfully changed, and I pushed Li Zhiyang to buy sausages.Han Xin probably also thought that I was bored by myself, so he kindly came to play a prank, but the prank failed and scared himself, which was barely even.

"Obviously most people will struggle a few times, how can she sink directly like this..." Han Xin whispered aggrievedly.

"Does it make sense for you to push people down?" Li Zhiyang's ear sensitivity was off the charts, and the anger that had just been suppressed surged up again.

"Let's go, let's buy sausages." I could only drag Li Zhiyang to the snack area.

"I'll go too." Han Xin knew he was wrong, and followed silently with his head down.

After such a fuss, it seemed that everyone could continue to stay, so Li Zhiyang rejected Han Xin's proposal to offer a treat to dinner, went back to the changing room to take a shower and changed clothes, and then separated.Seeing Li Zhiyang's resolute attitude, Hao Meng tried his best to smooth things over, but the effect was not great, so they had to go home separately.

"Are you okay?" I don't know where Li Zhiyang's family lives, but after we separated, she and I walked together.

"It's okay, I just choked on a few sips of water. You are too harsh to scare people, and Han Xin didn't do it on purpose." I tried to excuse Han Xin, both of them are my friends, so naturally I don't want them to turn against each other.

"Forget it, she looks like a big-chested and brainless person." Li Zhiyang curled her lips disapprovingly, "Speaking of which, a 1.3-meter pool can drown a person, it's a long time to see."

"Can you talk well?" I think the swimming pool incident will become one of my black history after the sheep riding incident.

"Just talk about it." Li Zhiyang touched the tip of his nose, looked across the street and suggested, "Go eat steak, I know there is a restaurant that is very delicious, and the two of you will get a big drink."

"Let's go." I nodded.

In fact, I didn’t expect to go back for dinner today, so when I went out, I told Auntie Ye not to serve me. At this point, I guess Auntie Ye was already preparing dinner, and it would be too troublesome to ask for an increase, so it’s better to go back after eating.

The western restaurant is also in the city center, within 10 minutes' walk, because it is the weekend, many couples are out on a date, and it is almost full when we arrive.There is elegant rhythm and blues light music playing in the background of the restaurant, which is in tune with the petty bourgeoisie atmosphere inside.

There are only corners where you can sit. Fortunately, no matter where you are, the seats are all cradle rattan chairs fixed and suspended from the ceiling. It is very interesting to sit on it.

Browsing through the a la carte menu, the prices of the dishes inside are not expensive, but the seasonal brochures of the new works look very lively.It seems that in order to cater to the theme of hot summer and the upcoming Valentine's Day, there are some preferential services for couples to order meals. The merchants always have so many promotional gimmicks.

Couples take pictures and post them on the photo wall and share them on the Moments. Not only can they enjoy a [-]% discount on food, but they will also get a big cup of smoothie drink for couples.Similar to what Li Zhiyang said, the discounts are even stronger, but the problem is that the prerequisite for enjoying these discounts is a couple.

"Is it enough to take pictures and share them?" Li Zhiyang asked the waiter who came to order with great interest, pointing to the content in the album.

"Uh, if it's a couple." The waiter replied hesitantly.

"Who said that only the opposite sex can be a couple." Li Zhiyang gave the waiter a dissatisfied look, and turned to me, "It's just a photo shoot, and the discount is great."

"That's it..." Looking at Li Zhiyang's serious face, it seemed that it was really just for the discount. I don't really refuse people, and now I can't seem to find a reason to refuse, so I can only nod in agreement.

"It's okay." The waiter was helpless, with the expression of eating an apple and finding that there was only half a worm in the core, and pointed the camera at us, "Sit together and pose first?"

Hearing this, Li Zhiyang took the initiative to come over, put his hand on my shoulder, and smiled at the camera.Seeing her so natural, my embarrassment seemed petty and artificial, and I also turned my face to face the camera with a smirk.As the camera shutter sounded, I felt as if something soft had scratched my face. I turned my head to look over, but it was Li Zhiyang's side face smiling towards the camera, which seemed to be an illusion caused by my overthinking.

The waiter connected the camera to the photo printer, and the photo was printed out in a few seconds. The two of them hooked their shoulders together and smiled heartlessly, looking harmonious and beautiful.Li Zhiyang took the photo, found a space on the wall and pasted it.

"You still have to send it to Moments." The waiter kindly reminded.

"I know, that's fine." Li Zhiyang held up his phone and held it in front of the waiter.
