Ever since Luo Feng fell sick and I took care of him for a while, this guy's attitude towards me has changed a lot. He no longer pushed me around like before. I was speechless at his change. It was not strange to have such a feeling. After all, they had known each other for more than half a year. The thoughts of chasing him as a friend had long been polished away by his indifference. Moreover, although their relationship had improved, they had only treated each other politely, so she did not care about his reaction now. People were like this. When they couldn't get it, they would look at it, hope for it, and chase after it. When they got it, they didn't care.
Towards all of Luo Feng's goodwill, I chose not to reply. Out of sight, out of mind. He wasn't angry at all. Instead, he was smiling. Although I turned a blind eye to his shamelessness, I couldn't deny that I was quite happy. Why? Because I was always around him before, but he ignored me. He was so cold that even I, the " cockroach that can't be killed," was discouraged and gave up. But now, he is constantly showing goodwill to me. It can be considered a form of conquest. After all, no one doesn't like this feeling, especially when the person you conquer is someone who hates you.
In the blink of an eye, it had been a month since school started. The textbooks for this semester were much more difficult, and they began to read Tang poetry. I especially like He Zhizhang's " Cutting Willow " because there are many willow trees in the school, big and small. And it was spring now. Looking out of the window, I could truly understand what the poem was describing. Another song is Wang Mian's "Black Plum". In my opinion, among the Four Gentlemen, the plum is the proudest, the most tenacious, and of course, the most beautiful. It bloomed in the biting cold wind, but in the ice and snow, it was unyielding and blooming beautifully. The two Xuemei in the yard at home became brighter and more fragrant the colder it was in winter. Therefore, when I first read "Black Plum", I set my life motto: Don't let others praise your good color, only leave the clear air to fill the universe.
After learning it, one naturally had to memorize it, but even if one liked it, one might not be able to memorize it. They had just finished their lessons that day. When school was about to end, Teacher Cao said that she had to memorize it, including the central idea and the explanation of the poem. The next morning, they had to ask someone to recite it in class. If they couldn't recite it, they would be punished. No matter how mischievous a child was, he was afraid of his teacher. Therefore, even though he was extremely nervous and unwilling, he did not dare to show any signs of it. He could only reply silently,"Got it." Even though I knew what it meant, it was difficult for me to memorize the exact words. After all, I was still a child who didn't know many words. I didn't feel good because I wasn't confident that I could recite it, so my mood wasn't good. Thinking about Xi Wenjie's ugly expression when he returned home, he suddenly shivered and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
At first, I thought that I was the only one who was like this. I didn't expect that Luo Feng, who was beside me, was also feeling uneasy. He then turned to look at Shan Ting and Su Xiao. They were also frowning and didn't know what to do. This way, I felt much more at ease. If everyone didn't have confidence, then I wasn't considered bad. However, although he comforted himself in his heart, the image of Xi Wenjie constantly appearing in his mind.
I like Dad very much, but at the same time, I'm afraid of him. He had inherited his grandfather's fiery temper. Although he wasn't as old-fashioned, he was very strict and stubborn. There was no room for discussion about what he had decided on. No one could say anything about my education. He felt that people should be positive. The same thing, if I failed once, I could barely forgive it, but I definitely couldn't fail a second time. The creed he believed in was to compete with the top and not the bottom. So even if I got first place in the exam and my score didn't reach his expectations, I didn't have to be happy anymore. What was waiting for me at home would definitely be a fierce scolding and a punishment for copying the exam paper.
He would definitely support the mission assigned by his teacher this time. Not only would he have to recite it, but he would also have to memorize it without missing a single word. Therefore, when school ended, we were all in a heavy mood. Looking at the row of willow trees on the field, we were filled with hatred. The few of us looked at each other with malicious smiles on our faces. Then, we rushed to the tree together, each of us broke a willow branch, and then picked wildflowers from the fields outside the wall to embed them. We weaved them into garlands and wore them on our heads. Of course, Luo Feng and Yang Yang wouldn't. They just looked at us and laughed. When they were tired and in a good mood, they happily bounced away and went home.
Naturally, I went with Luo Feng, but I didn't look at him or talk to him. She fiddled with the flowers on the garland and sniffed them from time to time. The fragrance was refreshing. Luo Feng followed behind unhurriedly. He wanted to speak a few times, but the words never came out.
Actually, I wasn't as calm as I looked, but I didn't know how to face him. On the one hand, she felt that this was quite good. Didn't she want to be good friends with him in the past? But on the other hand, I was thinking about how he looked down on me before. Why did I summon him and wave him away? I'm very conflicted now. However, when he didn't know what to do, pretending that nothing had happened was the best way to escape. So I chose to see him as little as possible and spend less time alone with him. She turned around to look at him, only to see that he was deep in thought, as if he was thinking about something. There was a trace of doubt on his face, but in an instant, it became much clearer, as if he had made up his mind.
I shook my head helplessly and continued walking. Along the way, each of them had their own thoughts on their minds. Unknowingly, they soon reached home. Just as they were about to enter the house, Luo Feng, who had been following silently behind them, suddenly spoke,""Ran, wait. Are you still angry?”When I suddenly heard him call me that, I was so shocked that I couldn't say a word. By the time I reacted, the atmosphere had already become very awkward. My face was also burning badly. I didn't need to look to know how red it was. Listening to his question, I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say a word.
"Sigh!" Seeing that I was silent, Luo Feng helplessly sighed. Then, she said,"Don't be angry anymore. I'll treat you better!"”
"Who wants you to treat me well?”I felt very shy, and I didn't expect him to say such a thing, so I didn't know what to do for a moment, so I didn't know what to say.
"You!" He choked on my words until his face turned green and white. In the end, he snorted and turned around to leave.
For a moment, I was still stunned. When she came back to her senses, he was long gone. She felt very wronged. She thought of what she had said and felt that she had asked for it. He turned his head and looked at the plum tree in the courtyard through the iron gate. There were still some petals left on it. He opened the door and walked to the tree. He plucked the remaining flowers, took out the diary from the book, and put it in.
Just as he was about to get up and return to his room, he noticed a small person behind him. Looking closely, it was Luo Feng who had just left in a huff and returned. I saw him staring at me without moving, but I was angry and didn't call him. The two of them were in a stalemate. After a long time, he slowly said,"You are my best friend."”After saying that, she turned around and ran away, leaving me with a gentle smile.
Many years later, I will still remember that afternoon, that bright spring afternoon, a sunny and handsome boy, and his gentle smile. Although it was blurry, the warmth was still clear.
