"What do I have to say?”Edward wore it and looked at it curiously.
"Hypocrite, too hypocrite." Both Leng Liang and Xiao Shi looked at Edward with contempt, their eyes sharp and piercing as if they were interrogating a criminal.
"How is it hypocritical? What's going on?”Edward looked at the two neurotic fellows, not knowing why.
"Isn't it because of you and Dai Mengni?”This time, it was Slytherin. Slytherin seemed to be particularly interested in Edward and Damony. Whenever they were mentioned, Slytherin became unusually excited.
"That's right. How long are you going to drag this out? Youth is very short. If you don't cherish it, it will pass very quickly.”Liang Liang also agreed.
Hehehehe…
Edward smiled helplessly." We're all still students now. It's not suitable for us to fall in love. We should study hard and get into a good university."”
Edward's words almost drove Leng Leng crazy." Acting cool, is that what you say? The world is so chaotic. Who will look at you if you pretend to be pure?”As he spoke, he started to fight.
Xiao Shi also joined them in making a scene. The three brothers were playing around in the quiet corridor. From time to time, there would be the sound of ghosts and wolves howling. Everyone was used to hearing it and knew that it was the few of them who were crazy in their game life. They were doing those ignorant things again.
After a while, the three brothers panted as they leaned against the heater. They took large mouthfuls of oxygen from the air to supply the demand of the blood protein.
"Alright, alright, I'm exhausted. I won't play with you guys anymore.”Edward gasped.
"Right, Xiao Sen, I'm looking at you. You and Dai Mengni can't drag it out any longer. Isn't it just a thin layer of window paper? Why did he have to make things difficult for himself?”Liang Liang said to Edward seriously this time.
" I want to, but I'm afraid that it'll affect her studies. I'm afraid…" Edward did not finish his sentence. " Alright, alright, stop talking. You were afraid when I asked you to ask her out, and now you're afraid again. You don't usually look afraid, but when it comes to Dai Mengni, you're like a coward.”
"It's not like this." Edward defended his cowardice.
"What's different? All men have to go through this step. Girls are chased, not waited for. You're not Tom Cruise or Andy Liu. If you can't even settle a woman you like, what else can you settle in the future?”Once again, Liang Liang lectured Edward like an elder.
" Yes, I agree with you completely." To add insult to injury, Xiao Shi also coldly criticized Edward.
"Yeah, my ass. Why don't you confess to Qin Wen?”Edward retaliated with force. Just as he was worried that he had nowhere to vent his anger, Xiao Shi happened to bump into the muzzle of the gun.
"Isn't it not the right time for me to do that?”Xiao Shi also found an excuse for himself.
"Excuses and admit that you're done for.”Edward looked at Xiao Shi with disdain.
The blade-like gaze sent a chill down Xiao Shi's spine, and the tactful Xiao Shi no longer interrupted.
"To be honest, I want to see her every day but can't be with her. Do you think I want to be with her forever? But I really don't understand her. I feel like she's like ice, like water, and like air. If I fail to confess, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to be friends with her. I'm not afraid that she won't love me, but I'm really afraid that she will hate me in the future.”Edward told the two of them his true thoughts.
Looking at the troubled Edward, she seemed to sense his concerns." Brother, I know you have a lot of concerns, but I just want to ask you, do you like her?”
Edward didn't answer, but nodded silently, which was considered an affirmative answer.
"Do you really like it?" He asked again in a cold and cautious manner.
"I'm sure I really like it. Otherwise, why would this bro jump into the mouth of the river for her?”Edward's voice suddenly grew louder, like a volcanic eruption, fervently expressing his intentions.
"That's it. Since you like her, then go and confess to her. Love isn't that complicated. It's just a matter of a few words. Since you know that you love her, you should tell her without hesitation.”It was unknown whether Leng Liang was teaching Edward or encouraging him.
"You mean, I should confess to her.”Edward's voice suddenly became so soft that he couldn't even hear himself.
"That's right. If you love her, tell her that she's a single young woman and you're a single young man. It's very normal for you to have a passionate relationship in this time. No one can control the age of first awakening of love. This is in line with the laws of nature and the development of history…" Leng Liang seemed to be talking non-stop. The more she talked, the more unreliable she became.
"Alright, alright, brother. It's not that serious. It's still connected to the natural universe.”Edward shouted coldly.
"Then how should I tell her?" Edward asked a new question.
"Write a letter. Your literary talent is so good.”After a long period of silence, Little Shi finally spoke.
"Hmm, I think that's fine too." This time, Edward agreed with Little Shi.
"Not good." Liang Liang objected.
"The way you write a letter is old-fashioned and vague. It doesn't seem sincere at all. Your way of confessing should be bold and trendy, and the meaning expressed should be direct.”Leng Liang pondered and helped Edward think of a plan.
"Why don't you give roses? Roses represent love.”Xiao Shi tried to make another suggestion.
"Go, go, go. Don't cause trouble here.”Liang Liang openly objected.
"If you two want to pretend to be Casanova, there will be a day when the two of you cry.”Xiao Shi turned around and left. Of course, he wasn't really angry. Xiao Shi had been treated unfairly since the first year of high school. He was already used to it.
He thought of many more methods, but Edward felt that none of them were suitable. They were either too old-fashioned or too crazy.
"After thinking so much, there should be a suitable one.”Liang Liang was helpless.
" No, this is…" Before Edward could finish, Leng Liang had already collapsed. "Come on, Young Master. I won't waste my feelings on you anymore.”As he spoke, he was about to leave.
"Don't go. Help me." Edward stopped Liangliang, who was about to leave.
"I really can't help you, old man. I can't do anything at all.”Liang Liang felt helpless again.
"Are we still brothers?" Edward used this sure-kill move again.
"If it wasn't for my brother, I would have left long ago. If it wasn't for my brother, I wouldn't have asked for trouble. I'll give you another date. Don't say that I won't help you.”Leng Liang really couldn't stand Edward who was sloppy in his relationship.
"What period?" Edward was curious.
"Her birthday." Leng Liang replied casually.
"That can't be. She said that if she wasn't the most important person in her life, she wouldn't know her birthday.”Edward asked.
"I saw her ID card once.”As she spoke, she crawled to Edward's ear and whispered something before leaving with a smirk and a 'good luck' to him.
A string of numbers was instantly imprinted firmly in Edward's mind, and his heart was in turmoil. He and Dai Mengni were like planets and perseverance. There was both attraction and repulsion. They could not be attracted to a certain point in the universe together, nor could they be supported to move on a fixed orbit. Edward was afraid that this confession would destroy the balance of this pair of forces, causing the planet to break free from the shackles of this attraction force and fall into the mysterious black hole of the universe with its own love. He was also afraid that the planet would break through the restrictions of the repulsive force and collide with the star, turning his love and the broken corpses into ashes.
However, Edward also wanted Dai Mengni to confess his love and be with her openly. They went to school together, they ended classes together, he could make her laugh when she cried, he could do everything to laugh with her when she laughed, he could hug her in the cold winter, he could be sad…there were too many times. Edward was willing to completely melt into her skin, blood, bone marrow, and heart. Accompanying her through the wind, snow, rain, dew, fog, mist, smoke, and dust. In the days to come, in the journey of her life, how Edward longed for it to be filled with the footprints of his and her supporting each other, leaving love hickeys everywhere in the empty space of her life.
After a mental struggle, Edward made his final choice. Of course, he chose to bravely confess to Dai Mengni, regardless of the outcome. He had already planned to take this step, so what Liang Liang had said was correct.
Life is nothing if not an adventure.
The day slowly passed, and the sax played " Let's Go Home " again on this milestone day. Edward left the school excitedly and returned home to wait for the day of success or failure.
Damony's birthday was like Edward's. The friction with time made a metallic sound. Edward had been longing, excited, and afraid for the past few days. To him, a few days felt as long as a century.
However, there were times when the long years passed. Time was like air or something smaller than air. It was colorless, odorless, and silently seeped into our bodies and hearts.
The 7th of June finally arrived. It was still the same as usual, eating, washing his face, doing his homework, and playing around. The earth was still revolving tirelessly, and there was no difference between the ordinary and ordinary. However, this day was a character imprinted in the depths of Edward's soul. The gains and losses began from this afternoon.
It was seven or eight o'clock that day. The sun had already retreated behind the mountains with its exhaustion, but the sky was still not dark. Everything looked a little gray. There were not many pedestrians or cars on the road. At this time, people should be happily preparing dinner at home. The clouds in the sky were like light ink, quietly condensing in the distance. There was no wind at all. It was as if even the airflow had condensed in this quiet evening in Edward and Damoni's neighborhood. A few domestic cars were like frogs hibernating in the sand, quietly nestled there, motionless.
Edward had lived in Building 4. When he walked out of the door, he saw that everything seemed to have frozen in this special moment. The only thing that moved was his heart, which was beating irregularly because of nervousness.
He timidly came downstairs to Damoni's apartment. Edward held a piece of blood-colored agate (Noel was the hometown of agate) in his hand. The agate was carved into the shape of a dancing butterfly. This was a precious blood agate among the stones. It was made of a rare material and was exquisitely carved. Edward had bought it cheaply from his uncle's shop. It was cheap, of course, because they were relatives. Although it was cheap, it was very precious. It was difficult to get a second piece in Dolennor. This was Edward's birthday present for Damoni, or perhaps it could be said to be a love token.
Downstairs, Edward stared at Damoni's bedroom without moving. In his heart, he had thought of ten thousand ways to confess to her. He came to a tall building and used the lights to form a heart shape. Then, he lit it up and gave her a big bouquet of roses. Or he would wait for her to come to the classroom and write the words 'I love you' on the blackboard. There was also the idea of getting Liang Liang and the others to hold up a banner with the words 'I love you' written on it in front of all the students and teachers. But in the end, Edward canceled all of them. He knew that Dai Mengni was a quiet girl, and he wanted to give her the most ordinary and simple love, so he chose to tell her his love on her birthday in the neighborhood where they lived together.
