Chapter 4 Time Cooks Rain Four
However, my father's company later went bankrupt, and our family had to move from our luxurious villa into a small and cramped low-rent house.
I actually don’t think this is a shameful thing, but many people don’t think so, such as the “friends” around me.
I understand, I have always understood, that in this world there is only icing on the cake, not helping someone in need. So, I don’t feel sad about the departure of those “friends”.
But to my surprise, Song Hexue was still following me happily like a fool.
On the third day after my father's company went bankrupt, on my way home from school, I couldn't help but turn around and ask Song Hexue who was following me closely: "Did you know what happened to our family?"
She was stunned, then nodded stupidly: "I know."
"You're still following me even though you know that?" I spread my hands at her, suddenly feeling a little angry. "Shouldn't you learn from them and find new people to admire? Why are you still following me? I'm no longer the sun you need."
"But..." She bit her lip and said firmly, "But I am your friend, and they are not."
I will always remember that early sunny evening after the rain, with white clouds in the sky and the rainbow light reflected on the ivy-covered wall behind Song Hexue. My eyes were wet because of the thing I used to despise the most - friendship. But how could I, who was so proud, admit that I was willing to be friends with this "fat girl" who was laughed at by everyone in the school?
I could only say hypocritically: "It's up to you. If you want to follow me, go ahead. Anyway, I will never really be friends . Because I never know how to be friends with others."
I said and looked at her coldly.
Just when I was considering whether to glare at her to show her that what I said was true, she smiled at me with curved eyebrows and eyes: "Xihe, you don't have to do anything, just let me accompany you."
I looked at the innocent smile on her face and suddenly felt sad for her. What a fool! What was good about me that made her act so servile?
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I was furious at her heartlessness and her humbleness. Even if I were to make friends, I would never make friends like this.
I couldn't help but blurt out, "It's not that easy to be my friend. First, you can't be so spineless. Second, you can't wear ugly and tasteless pink lace bow clothes. Third, you can't be fat. Can you do it?" I glared at her, seeing her embarrassed look, and couldn't help but scold her, "But I don't expect you to do it!"
As if someone had stabbed her in a painful spot, she lowered her head and clutched the corners of her clothes with both hands, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
I said angrily: "Forget it, just ignore the third point. "
"Xihe!" She looked up at me unexpectedly, and the next second she rushed over and hugged me like a madman, "You are so nice!"
"Go away!" I put on a look of disgust and pushed away Song Hexue who was throwing herself on me like a koala, but I tacitly allowed her to hold my arm and walk side by side with me in the afterglow of the sunset.
She seemed to have received a great favor. She turned her head and smiled at me from time to time, and was as excited as a child.
Long after, I always remembered that evening when there was a seven-color rainbow hanging in the sky. There was a girl named Song Hexue, whose cheerful laughter penetrated the dense leaves above her head and echoed through the treetops.
If it weren’t for what happened later, we would probably have been a pair of awkward and strange friends in the eyes of others.
Unfortunately, later...
What happened afterwards , I still don't want to mention to anyone, even to myself. That cruel past was sealed deep in my memory by the thick wall I built, I can't mention it, I can't touch it, because there is a monster that devours people's hearts, once released, there will be no return.
