It was July, the hottest month of summer. The air was filled with suffocating heat. My palms were already sweating. After hesitating for several minutes, I finally made a decision. I gently pushed through the crowd and patted the unlucky guy in front of me on the shoulder: "Hey, handsome guy!"
The boy I took a photo of turned around, lowered his head and drooped his eyes. His thin shadow easily covered me.
"Ah...you...you dropped your things." Suddenly seeing his handsome face, the words I had prepared in advance turned into a simple dialogue when they came to my lips.
The boy raised his eyebrows, looked at me, and then looked at my raised hand with a helpless smile: "Really? Do you think this flower fell from my head?"
I looked at the bright red heart-shaped flower in my hand and my face turned red.
The boy was not angry, he just looked at me with a smile.
It suddenly dawned on me that I was being treated as a nympho. At this time, the middle-aged man next to him noticed me and slowly moved towards me, with a subtle anger on his face.
While I was secretly groaning, I called the boy a "stupid" in my heart.
Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to catch me, at that moment, the boy suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back again. This time, he caught the strange look of the middle-aged man and saw the blade in his hand.
"What are you going to do?" The boy frowned even more tightly and reached out to grab his wrist, seemingly using a lot of strength.
The man probably didn't expect to be caught. He was startled and his eyes widened. He didn't know how to answer. The people around him were also attracted and turned to look at us.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, he struggled hard and angrily shook the blade in his hand. The blade was used to cut open things like bags and backpacks, and it was extremely sharp. I was terrified watching from the side, and hurriedly pulled the boy away: "He is a thief, get out of the way!"
Instead of dodging, the boy glared at the thief fiercely and rushed forward to fight with him.
The two men hugged each other, and the blade in the middle-aged man's hand almost cut the boy several times, and no one dared to step forward. I stood aside, my heart in my throat. After a few rounds, the thief gradually lost his strength and began to beg for mercy. The boy didn't say much, and locked the thief's hands with a cold face. His movements were very skilled, not like ordinary people.
I don't know if it was my illusion, but I saw the boy looking up and smiling at me, his clear peach blossom eyes were like the surface of a lake just beginning to melt in spring, rippling with layers of ripples. I was slightly stunned, not understanding the meaning of that smile.
At this time, a passerby had already called the police. The subway had entered the station at this time, so the enthusiastic people stayed and arrested the thief together with the boy, and the others started to get on the subway.
I slapped my head and then remembered that someone was waiting for me, so I turned around and got on the subway.
The moment the electric door closed, I seemed to hear the boy say something to me, but I couldn't see clearly what it was.
The person waiting for me is Su Mo, my good friend. We had agreed to go shopping together today.
"Why did you come just now?" I saw her in the department store. She looked angry and kept glancing behind herself. In fact, I had already seen him - Su Yunjin, Su Mo's brother.
Su Mo knew what I was thinking about Su Yunjin, so she was smiling when she questioned me, as if she was taking advantage of someone and acting cute. Because it was in front of Su Yunjin, in order to maintain my image, I just explained softly and told them about the thief I encountered on the subway.
Su Mo was used to being spoiled and had never seen anything like this before. After listening to me, she kept asking questions and cared if I was hurt.
I was dealing with Su Mo's questions, but my eyes were on Su Yunjin.
"Well, Xiaodi, are you okay?" Su Yunjin suddenly .
His voice was full of charm, gently touching my heart like a feather. I couldn't help but blush slightly: "It's okay, nothing happened."
"That's good." Su Yunjin said with relief.
Su Yunjin's expression was gentle, still with a hint of alienation, but his sincerity was also in his eyes. His concern was not fake, and this realization made me feel warm in my heart.
Maybe this is what it feels like to fall in love with someone, his unintentional actions will make me inexplicably moved. Just thinking about this, the shyness in my heart burst like a bubble, and even my face was flushed a little unnaturally.
The three of us talked for a while, and Su Mo began to discuss with me the skirt that she didn't buy last time.
Originally, two girls and a boy were going to a clothing store together. The boy would inevitably be a little bored, but Su Yunjin didn't care. She smiled and went with us to the clothing store on the third floor.
Su Mo quickly found the dress she had liked last time and happily went into the fitting room, leaving Su Yunjin and I alone.
"It must be annoying to be friends with a little girl like Momo? You have to give in to her in everything." After a moment of silence, Su Yunjin started to make small talk.
If it were any other boy, I would definitely not bother to pay attention to her, but at this time I didn't feel annoyed at all, I just shook my head gently: "No, she is very simple, it's very relaxing to be with her."
"Really?" Su Yunjin smiled, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, but for some reason, I felt like I couldn't see the bottom of it.
"Yeah, that's right." I suddenly had the idea of ​​teasing Su Yunjin, "But from what you said just now, it seems that you have always given in to her at home since she was a child. Don't you feel wronged?"
Yun Jin didn't expect me to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, then said, "No, I'm the older brother, so I should take good care of my younger sister."
When he said this, his face was full of the doting of a brother towards his sister, which made me envy Su Mo.
Yes, it is such a happy thing to have such a gentle and excellent brother.
After chatting with Yunjin for a while, Momo still didn't come out. So I couldn't help it, I got up and went to the fitting room to call Momo, but no one responded after calling for a long time. I knew something was wrong, and sure enough, I immediately received a text message from Momo: "Brother, Xiaodi, you guys go to the cinema to watch the newly released "The Truth Is Out", many people say it's very good, I have left the tickets with the cashier at the clothing store, remember to take them. I have something to do, so I'm going home first!"
This text message was obviously also sent to Su Yunjin. I walked over and looked at him, and we both smiled helplessly.
This girl, telling such a simple lie, who can she fool? I laughed and cursed in my heart, but I was also grateful that I had such a righteous friend.
Su Yunjin probably didn't want to let down her silly sister's kindness, so she asked me to get movie tickets and planned to watch a movie with me.
After looking at the time, there was still more than an hour before leaving, so I suggested that we go buy some food and go shopping before coming back. Su Yunjin nodded and agreed.
But if I knew what was going to happen next, I would have knocked myself out for suggesting going shopping.
But then I thought about it carefully, some people, you really can't avoid them. Because if she is determined to make things difficult for you, she will chase you no matter where you are.
When Zhou Shiyun appeared in front of me, I was stunned at first, and then I immediately felt a sense of crisis, because I had long felt that her thoughts about Su Yunjin would definitely not be so simple. We used to be good friends, but later... In short, it would be impossible for me to be defenseless against her again.
Sure enough, she obediently showed an expression of "joy to meet you", called "Xiao Di" in her signature coquettish voice, and came forward to hold my hand.
I couldn't stand her pretending to be intimate, so I immediately got revengeful and refused to give her a way out: "Please don't call me that. It gives me goose bumps all over the floor!"
Zhou Shiyun seemed to have anticipated my reaction. She pretended not to know and asked me eagerly, "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here?" Zhou Shiyun said calmly. If I hadn't taken into consideration that Su Yunjin was standing next to me, I would have gone crazy on the spot.
"Xiao Di, you haven't come to play with me for a long time." Zhou Shiyun saw my expression change and continued, "Could it be that you have other friends?"
Before I could say anything, she pretended to understand something, turned her gaze to Su Yunjin, and said intimately: "Brother Yunjin, you are here too?"
Zhou Shiyun's smooth movements and words showed her affectation to the extreme, which made me feel angry but unable to vent. Su Yunjin, like Su Mo, had a good upbringing since childhood, and he would not show any annoyance even in front of people he didn't like. When I looked at him, he also had a bit of embarrassment on his face.
Su Yunjin seemed to accidentally avoid Zhou Shiyun's hand and replied politely, "Yes. I came out with Su Mo. She went home earlier for some reason."
"I see..." Zhou Shiyun seemed to have suddenly realized something, and she dragged out the last line of her voice as she spoke word by word, "I just saw Momo, and I guessed that I could see you!"
I never thought that Su Mo, who had been trying hard to match me with Su Yunjin, would indirectly help Zhou Shiyun, this evil person.
Zhou Shiyun obviously didn't care about my expression. Just when I was sighing in my heart that I was unlucky to meet her, she got closer to Su Yunjin and talked to him. But after just a few words, her eyes turned red. Su Yunjin couldn't help but ask a few more questions enthusiastically, and she muttered, "Oh, it's so boring to be alone, and I can't find other friends. I don't know what to do."
I am speechless about Zhou Shiyun. She can cry like Lin Daiyu when she is alone. I don't know what she will do if she really encounters something. I have known Zhou Shiyun for many years, but I never knew that she can cry so easily.
But Zhou Shiyun's words aroused Su Yunjin's sympathy, and he invited Zhou Shiyun: "Xiao Di and I are going to watch "The Truth Comes Out" in a while, do you want to go?"
At that moment, I was filled with loss. It was impossible for him not to know how I felt about Su Yunjin. If he really had feelings for me, he would not have brought an outsider to the movies. He had ignored my feelings when he saw Zhou Shiyun wiping her tears, but I still resisted the disappointment at that moment and simply stood aside to quietly watch how Zhou Shiyun would perform next.
She naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, and immediately nodded in agreement, dragging me and Su Yunjin to buy tickets. I kept praying in my heart that there were no extra tickets for this show, but it turned out that there were still quite a few tickets left. Zhou Shiyun bought the tickets for the seats next to us, and happily wanted to treat Su Yunjin and me to drinks.
I was screaming in my heart: Isn't "The Truth" very popular? Why hasn't it sold out yet?
This is the worst outcome I can think of, but the truth is there is no worst, only worse.
When the three of us entered the cinema, we found that Zhou Shiyun was sitting next to me. She immediately asked to switch seats with me. I angrily asked her why, and she shyly replied: "Watching a movie is scary! It feels safer to have a boy sitting next to me."
"We're watching a science fiction movie!" I was already angry because Su Yunjin invited her to come, so I refused to give in and refused to switch with her. Su Yunjin's mediation was fruitless, so he could only take a step back and tell me to switch with me, so that he would sit right between me and Zhou Shiyun.
Seeing the helpless expression on his face, I felt sorry for him and was too embarrassed to embarrass him any further, so I ended up changing seats with him.
After watching the movie for a while, the text message alert sound suddenly rang. I took out my phone and saw the text message from Momo.
"Xiao Di, how are things going with my brother? Haha, am I still treating you well?"
"We met Zhou Shiyun."
“…”
"She said she saw you."
“…”
"So now she is still watching the movie with both of us."
“…”
"And just now she wanted to switch seats with me."
“…”
"Momo, my heart is almost broken right now."
"...Girl, don't be discouraged. We have a long way to go!"
At this moment, Zhou Shiyun turned around and looked at me, accusing me, "Xiao Di, please stop texting while you're watching a movie. It will disturb other people's viewing mood."
If I hadn't been in front of Su Yunjin, I might not have been able to control the anger that was rising in my heart, but Su Yunjin was right next to me, and all I could do was remain silent, turn off the phone, and then greet Zhou Shiyun and her family over and over again in my heart.
But I have to admit that I was so angry that I couldn't watch the movie at all, so I planned to close my eyes and sleep for a while. But science fiction movies are never short of special effects and sounds, and I was distracted by the noise, so I could only open my eyes and secretly glance at Su Yunjin.
At first I thought he looked a little strange, and before I could figure out what was going on, I looked carefully and saw that Zhou Shiyun was actually clinging to his hand and moving closer to his arms.
I was furious for a moment, so I decided to go all out and hugged Su Yunjin's other arm. But I heard Zhou Shiyun burst into laughter. I knew I was being too obvious, but I still didn't let go and pretended I didn't hear it.
After watching the movie, I didn't even know what was going on and was very angry.
When I went out, it was already dark. I was already a little hungry, but I didn't expect Zhou Shiyun to get there first.
"Yunjin, let's go eat together." She gave me a meaningful look and said, "But Xiaodi, is it okay if you don't go home so late? I remember that your uncle and aunt were quite strict with you."
Zhou Shiyun and I have been friends for many years. I used to be touched by her understanding of me, but now I resent this understanding because she knows me too well. She can easily touch my pain points with just one sentence. Every word she says has the ability to ignite my anger. But in front of Su Yunjin, I can't get angry. I can only say: "No, no, I specifically told my mother before I left today."
Finally, I couldn't help teasing Zhou Shiyun: "Did you bring enough money? You're eating out with us, and I don't have much money."
This time I touched her sore spot, her eyes immediately turned red and she stopped talking. Seeing her eyes sparkling with tears, I actually felt a little guilty and inexplicably hurt.
Maybe I said too much, I thought to myself.
"Alright!" Just as Zhou Shiyun and I were arguing, Su Yunjin suddenly spoke up, "Sorry, Xiaodi, Shiyun, I have guests coming to my house tonight, I have to go back right away."
In fact, he suddenly said this, and we all knew that he just didn't want to continue in such an awkward situation. But I could only nod and say yes, and Zhou Shiyun also said goodbye gloomily. When Su Yunjin walked away, I was so angry that I warned Zhou Shiyun fiercely: "Hey, please stay away from me and Yunjin in the future, okay? Do you think Yunjin doesn't know what you are thinking?"
Zhou Shiyun listened to what I said, but she was not angry. She smoothed her hair and said with a smile, "But so what? Yun Jin still didn't drive me away. He's not anxious, so why are you anxious?"
She is good-looking, with a small face, big eyes and fair skin. You could even say she is of superior appearance. If she wasn't so annoying, she might be considered a beauty.
My face turned red, and I was about to retort, but I finally blurted out, "Zhou Shiyun, don't forget, I was the one who introduced Su Yunjin to you."
But how could this reason stand up to someone like Zhou Shiyun?
"Yes, thank you very much." She said this, but there was no gratitude in her eyes, "Because it's not easy to meet such an excellent boy, so now I have to work hard to pursue him."
"Haha." After she said this, I was speechless. I snorted contemptuously, my eyes full of contempt.
But she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she changed her delicate look and said calmly: "So from now on, everyone should rely on their own abilities. You go your way, and I go mine. It's up to whoever Su Yunjin likes."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Looking at her leaving, I suddenly felt very sad - we used to be such good friends. Friends... When we just met, I would share everything good with Zhou Shiyun, even the fact that I liked Su Yunjin. But what about now?
My mother always told me to be sincere to others, but was I not sincere to Zhou Shiyun? Sometimes I thought that I was just like the farmer in "The Farmer and the Snake". I helped her out of kindness but was bitten back, which made me look stupid and suffer in vain.
This became increasingly boring, so I sighed and went home.
On Saturday night, I was still upset about what happened last time with Su Yunjin. I felt that I had been rude in many ways, and I regretted it and was thinking about how I could make up for it next time.
Su Mo suddenly called me and invited me to hang out. I guessed that Su Yunjin would be there too, so I asked her where she was, but the place she gave me was a little strange, it was actually the famous bar street in this city.
I couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly go to that kind of place?"
I have known Su Mo for so many years, so there is nothing wrong with asking this question. On the contrary, it was because she was quiet and well-educated since childhood, and suddenly ran to a place that we all thought was smoky and chaotic. I couldn't accept it for a while, and I was also suspicious.
But at this time she seemed too lazy to explain so much and just kept calling me over.
"Come over soon, there's a surprise." She was making a lot of noise over there and the background music in the bar was very loud, so I couldn't hear her clearly. I had no choice but to agree, lied to my parents, and left.
Along the way, I was muttering to myself, but also a little bit expectant. I was imagining how I would meet Su Yunjin later, and my heart was pounding.
When I arrived at the bar Su Mo mentioned, I found that there was a group of people there, including Su Mo and her brother and sister, and several men and women I didn't know. Su Mo introduced them to me one by one, and I suddenly saw an acquaintance at this time - the boy who was almost robbed at the subway station last time.
"Hey, it's you." He stared at me with sparkling eyes, as if he was afraid that others didn't know that he knew me. I felt embarrassed.
"Did you know each other before?" Su Mo's soft voice was almost drowned out by the background music.
I wanted to answer immediately, but for some reason I glanced at Su Yunjin and found that he was sitting in the corner drinking a drink with a calm face, without even looking at me. I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, so I nodded and ignored the boy opposite who was smiling with his white teeth showing.
"Well, my name is Bao Kangqi." He was not discouraged. He stretched out his hand and looked like he wanted to get to know me formally.
"An Xiaodi." I didn't extend my hand, just nodded and gave my name lightly.
Bao Kangqi was frustrated, but he didn't care much. He continued to smile heartlessly with his mouth wide open.
But another boy next to him who I didn't know spoke up first: "Hey, what kind of goddess is so arrogant? She doesn't even respond to someone's hand being extended to her?"
I felt that this was a weird thing, but I didn't want to respond. I looked at the boy. He had a sharp face and long eyes. He really had a mean face. But Su Mo came out to help me and introduced me to him: "Zhuang Yi."
I couldn't help but give her face, so I forced a smile at that mean face, and sat in the corner by myself regardless of his reaction.
At this time, the waiter came forward to remind me that the private room that Su Yunjin and his friends had requested had a vacant seat. I then realized that we were going to sing. So we all went into the private room again. I didn't like staying in such a noisy place. I wanted to talk to Su Yunjin but I was afraid that he would mind what happened that day, so I could only play with my phone alone.
While I was playing, I suddenly felt someone's gaze on me for a long time. I looked up and saw Bao Kangqi staring at me with a silly smile on his face.
"Is there something on my face?" I asked him.
"No, no." He still smiled.
I was speechless and didn't know what to say, so I just grabbed the fruit plate on the coffee table and started eating. Bao Kangqi looked at me eating the fruit plate and couldn't help but come over, with a more reasonable excuse - eating fruit.
"You and Momo go to the same school?" He tried to make small talk, but he was obviously not half as likable as Su Yunjin.
"Yeah." I picked up a big piece of watermelon and started to eat it without any image, responding vaguely.
Since I was a kid, I like to eat watermelon in the summer. I would sit under the corridor with half a watermelon in my arms and eat it by spoonfuls. Then I would spit out the watermelon seeds like a machine gun. At this time, the habit became natural. I found a glass cup and spit out the seeds with my mouth pursed. I didn't expect that this would make Bao Kangqi laugh. He was holding his stomach and laughing happily.
"Is it funny?" I asked him with some anger.
"No." He denied, "I just think you're cute."
"Ah?" I was shocked. In my impression, being called cute by a boy I just met is not a good thing. But I suddenly remembered something and asked him, "Did you have anything to say to me at the subway station that day?"
Bao Kangqi was stunned, and seemed to have something to say, but seeing that I knew nothing, he swallowed it back. I hate people who don't say what they want to say, so I just didn't bother to pay attention to him and turned to look for Su Mo.
At this time, the boy named Zhuang Yi was singing. To be honest, he sang quite well. Although not as good as Su Yunjin, he was a little better than ordinary people. After the song, I saw Su Mo staring at him intently and clapping hard, which was completely different from her usual quiet appearance. I knew something was wrong, and looking at Su Mo's gentle eyes, I guessed about 70% of it.
After a while, Su Mo got up and went to the bathroom, and I followed her.
"Momo ah..." I didn't know how to start when I came out to wash my hands.
"Hmm?" She splashed water on her face, her cheeks flushed like a girl.
"Do you like that Zhuang Yi?" Sure enough, Su Mo's thoughts were exposed by me, her face turned red, and she mumbled for a long time but couldn't make any sense.
I usually keep a bystander attitude towards my friends’ relationships and it’s not appropriate for me to interfere, but this time I couldn’t help myself and advised her: “Don’t like him. I always feel that he is not a good person.”
"Ah? Why?" Su Mo, who was immersed in the atmosphere of love, was blinded and obviously could not see anything else.
"I just feel like there's something wrong with him, and his smile is pretty creepy." I know it's not nice to say bad things about people behind their backs, but this time I was sure that my intuition was right.
As soon as I finished speaking, a male voice suddenly sounded behind me and asked me, "Really?"
When I turned around, it was Zhuang Yi.
I silently reminded him, “This is the women’s bathroom.”
His narrow eyebrows and eyes were cunning, and his cynical look made me hate him indescribably: "This place can be considered a bathroom. After all, there is a door to the bathroom. I saw that Momo hasn't come out for a long time, so I came to take a look."
The spineless Su Mo was speechless when she heard this and just stood behind me silently. At this time, another boy came out and said, "Yeah, yeah, we wanted to come over to listen to what you were whispering about, but it turned out that you were saying bad things about Xiaoyi, haha."
Bao Kangqi was talking nonsense with a smile, but he didn't notice the cold face of Zhuang Yi next to him. I said that it was difficult to explain to him when he caught me saying bad things. In the end, Bao Kangqi came out to smooth things over: "Xiao Yi, who told you to make fun of Xiao Di just now? Why don't you apologize quickly? Girls always hold grudges!"
I laughed in my heart. He was obviously an idiot. He was trying to guess a girl's thoughts, let alone expecting an apology from his good friend.
But Zhuang Yi actually spoke up: "I'm sorry, Xiao Di."
"Ah, it's okay..." I didn't expect him to actually apologize, and felt a little awkward, so I fell into silence.
When the four of us walked to the box, Su Mo and I walked behind. She then quietly told me that Zhuang Yi and Bao Kangqi were good friends. They were both children of Su family's old friends and had a lot of business dealings. I then realized that these two people were the gods of wealth of the Su family, so no matter for Su Mo or Su Yunjin, they were not to be offended.
So after returning to the box, I learned my lesson. When Bao Kangqi came to chat with me, I responded in a disjointed manner, but my eyes were still constantly observing the situation on Su Yunjin's side.
But after watching for a long time, Su Yunjin was just sitting in the corner drinking quietly, which was boring, so I turned around and started chatting seriously with the guy next to me.
"Xiao Di, where did you go to elementary school?"
I rolled my eyes and gave the name of the elementary school I attended.
"What about junior high school?"
“……”So chatting with an idiot is really a waste of brainpower and energy. Is he going to check my household registration?
At this time, Zhuang Yi and Su Mo were encouraged by the crowd to go on stage and start singing. When I heard the prelude, it turned out to be a love song duet. I was even more curious about how Su Yunjin could allow his sister to sing such a song with other boys...
Looking at Su Mo again, she was standing in the middle of the box with a shy look on her face, looking at Zhuang Yi from time to time, singing softly, like a gentle little lamb. Zhuang Yi was standing on the side with a smile on his face.
I stared at Zhuang Yi's smiling face, and it seemed more and more strange to me.
That's right, his smile is completely different from Su Yunjin's gentle smile. His smile is like a bottomless fog, mysterious and unpredictable, incomprehensible, and even weird.
So I made up my mind to ask Bao Kangqi about him and Zhuang Yi. He was very happy and told me about the time when they stole peaches and plums together when they were young. When I heard him talk, I felt that these things were also done by ordinary boys, and Zhuang Yi was not a bad person, but when I saw him like that, I always felt that there was something strange.
As we chatted, I started telling some stories about my childhood and was immersed in memories of playing with Su Mo and Su Yunjin.
At this time, Zhuang Yi and Su Mo had finished singing several songs. He walked over and started chatting with Bao Kangqi.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but I clearly felt that Zhuang Yi wanted to ignore me, but Bao Kangqi didn't realize it at all, and just happily chatted with his childhood sweetheart. After I stayed for a while, I felt redundant, so I stepped aside and drank my drink out of boredom.
"Xiao Di, I heard that you reminded Kang Qi at the subway station before, so he was not robbed, right?" Zhuang Yi suddenly turned his head and asked me this, still with that smile on his face that made me inexplicably disgusted.
I responded vaguely while drinking my drink, cursing Bao Kangqi in my heart for being such a big mouth and telling everyone everything, but finally I nodded.
Zhuang Yi refused to give in, raised his eyebrows with a meaningful look, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Then... what a coincidence."
"Do you doubt me?" I blurted out, not knowing what this young man was thinking when he was speculating about me.
"No." He explained slowly, but left me plenty of time to let my imagination run wild.
I knew in my heart that he didn't believe me, so I sighed and felt that I had met the wrong person. I was too lazy to explain anything. There was no benefit in lying to him anyway, so I put on an attitude of "believe it or not" and turned to talk to Su Yunjin.
Su Yunjin was still the same as before, gentle as the spring breeze in March. When he saw me chatting with him, he looked at me seriously and replied to my words. This was the difference between him and other boys of the same age. He was gentle and steady, without the frivolous feeling of Zhuang Yi and Bao Kangqi, which made girls feel the same sense of security as an elder.
But when they were halfway through their words, the door of the box was kicked open with a bang, scaring everyone.
The person who came in was actually an angry girl.
However, the girl was tall, had a gangster look, and had purple hair. She was not like an ordinary little girl at all. She looked more like the "big sister" often played in TV dramas. Unfortunately, her face betrayed her. She looked childish, but she tried to put on a deep look, which made people laugh.
She didn't say anything. She came in and looked around. Her eyes swept over everyone. When she saw Zhuang Yi, her eyes lit up. Then she spoke with full energy and scolded him. The girl's sharp voice was like a knife, scratching people's eardrums and hurting them. It was even more torturous than the noise in the box. I frowned and leaned on the sofa with my arms folded, wanting to see what kind of show this was.
Gradually, I realized from the girl's words that she was blaming Zhuang Yi for not visiting her for several days, and whether he was trying to avoid her. At this moment, my ears suddenly caught the words such as "fiancée" and "engagement", and I felt something was wrong, but I smiled in my heart, how old is he, and he is already engaged.
However, Zhuang Yi seemed to be very impressed by the girl's tricks. He stood aside, pressing his temples, looking helpless. After finally waiting for the girl to stop, he quickly handed her a drink to quench her thirst.
The girl calmed down, but her expression changed quickly. She immediately showed a sweet smile and started calling Zhuang Yi "Little Brother Yi". In a moment, she coquettishly mentioned that there was a group of people holding a fireworks party in another place in the south of the city tonight, which must be very beautiful, and insisted on dragging Zhuang Yi to go. Zhuang Yi couldn't refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and say goodbye to everyone and followed the girl.
I complained in my heart that this girl changed her expression so quickly, one moment like thunder and lightning, the next moment like tenderness. But then I remembered that it was so late, and we were going to the south of the city alone, and I felt a little uncomfortable for Su Mo. Before Zhuang Yi took his coat and left, he gave me and Bao Kangqi a meaningful look, which gave me goose bumps.
"Aren't you leaving?" I asked Bao Kangqi, and I believe that I couldn't hide the disgust .
He didn't care, explaining that we could just play for a while and go home, and our parents knew about it anyway. I was curious about the girl, but I couldn't ask her directly because of my face. I hesitated for a long time but didn't say my question.
Unexpectedly, this time Bao Kangqi was very smart to speak in advance, and with a "gossipy heart" he began to tell me about the girl just now: "Her name is Lin Luofei, her family and Zhuang Yi's family are also old friends, and they have a lot of business dealings. The two families have a good relationship, and seeing that Lin Luofei likes Zhuang Yi, and Zhuang Yi has no aversion to her, they got engaged early."
I stuck out my tongue and complained in my heart, it turns out that what is written in novels is true. In this day and age, people still care about "equal status" and even business marriages. I really don't understand.
I chatted with Bao Kangqi for a while, and sang a few songs. When I came to my senses, it was already late at night, so Su Yunjin suggested that we go home. I nodded, and turned to look at Su Mo, who sat aside with her head down, looking bored.
At this time, I was actually looking forward to Su Yunjin offering to take me home, because it was not safe for a girl to go home alone in the middle of the night. With Su Yunjin's personality, he would definitely be considerate. But my heart was beating fast for a long time, but in the end he seemed to be unaware of it. He politely said goodbye to me and everyone else, and left with Su Mo.
I felt an indescribable bitterness in my heart. It wasn't that I was jealous of Su Mo, nor was it that I was angry with Su Yunjin. I just felt like there was something stuck in my chest, unable to go up or down. It was so uncomfortable. I didn't blame him for not thinking of me, I just felt disappointed.
"Xiao Di, let me take you home." I looked up and it was Bao Kangqi again.
But his eyes were sparkling and his face was sincere, and it didn't seem like he was being polite at all. I simply nodded and went out with him.
Later, I sometimes thought that it was just like this. Sometimes, even if people are close to each other, their hearts are not together. But sometimes, the person who wants to get close to you is not the one you want to get close to.
