Vol V Chapter 32
How much courage did it take to force someone to give up on something that they had been obsessed with for a long time, even if it was wrong? How much time would it take to soothe that waiting heart? Perhaps you wouldn't believe that heart that was still trembling.
I saw you in my dreams a few times, and I wanted to believe that it was real, but I was full of doubts. That dream was not as real as the others. Sometimes, he felt helpless. He couldn't tell others, and others couldn't understand.
She really wanted to pretend that nothing had happened one day. When she missed you, she would tell you that she missed you only because she missed you.
Most of the time, I don't want to deliberately pursue or avoid it. I would rather believe that there will be a tacit understanding. I'm glad that you were there just now. A casual glance in the crowd, seeing your back and your hair, I know it's you. One month, two months to nine months. He had originally wanted to wait longer, even longer! I don't know which day in the nine months I started to not only like you, but also get used to having you in my heart.
Xiao Lin to Yuan Yimeng
After returning from Yunnan, Xiao Lin didn't know how to break the deadlock between him and Yuan Yimeng. If he said that he didn't like her because of what she said last time, Xiao Lin knew that it was impossible.
Although his swollen knee had fully recovered, he still felt a little unwilling when he thought of the affiliated high school of Beijing Normal University. Thinking back to what happened that night, Xiao Lin blamed himself. However, he also suspected that he might really be like what Yuan Yimeng said, insisting on something meaningless. Xiao Lin was very depressed.
And on this matter, Xiao Lin thought of Xie Wenhao, who was empathetic to him. Only he could enlighten him. Because at this time, his girlfriend Shen Xin Yi had already been studying in Japan for nearly three months. Xiao Lin hoped that Xie Wenhao could help him resolve this knot in his heart and reevaluate his relationship with Yuan Yimeng.
In the evening, Xiao Lin went to Xie Wenhao's dorm to look for him. He asked him to come up to his own dorm to take a look at some of the photos he had taken in Kunming. At the same time, she described how she climbed over the wall and entered the Kunming Affiliated High School of Beijing Normal University and how beautiful Yuan Yimeng High School was. After looking at the photos, the two of them walked to the balcony. Xiao Lin closed the bedroom door.
Xiao Lin lit up their cigarettes, took a puff, and blew out the smoke. He didn't like smoking, but he felt that breathing out the smoke was like pouring out his troubles. That way, he would feel better.
"Wenhao, those photos are just part of my trip to Yunnan. To tell you the truth, before I came back, I had a fight with Yi Meng.”Xiao Lin told Xie Wenhao what had happened. Xie Wenhao listened attentively and didn't interrupt him.
After Xiao Lin finished speaking, he looked into the darkness and said,""Xiao Lin, I think it's your fault. You shouldn't be too emotional. Not only will you feel bad, but you'll also make Yi Meng unhappy.”
"How could she be unhappy? She just wants me to not disturb her.”Xiao Lin said angrily.
"Alright, I don't care if Yi Meng is happy or not. I'll ask you a question. You should also ask yourself if you still like Yi Meng.”
Xiao Lin said without hesitation," Yes, of course I like her. Otherwise, why would I pursue her for seven or eight months?"”
"You're not competing with yourself, are you? You have to be very sure about this matter.”
Xiao Lin was silent. Was his starting point wrong? Could it be that he had always been unwilling to let him go? Or was it just to satisfy his desire to possess her? Or was it something else? It wasn't like that. Xiao Lin's inner voice rushed out," Yes, it wasn't like that. I like her and want to take good care of her."”
" Very good." Xie Wenhao looked at Xiao Lin with encouragement." We have solved the most critical problem." I suggest that you follow your heart and don't care about the past. The past is already the past. Through your brothers 'contact with Yi Meng, we all think that Yi Meng is a girl worthy of your persistence.”
Xie Wenhao stopped and took a puff of his cigarette." Actually, Xiao Lin, your current situation with Yi Meng is very normal. If you really want a true love, you must stand the test of time." We're just starting our freshman year, and we're not familiar with each other yet. There are some things that I haven't told you.”Xie Wenhao put out the cigarette and lit another one.
"On the first day of school, I met Xin Yi. Because we were in the same major and class, I don't know if it was fate. Anyway, I had a very special feeling when I first saw her. I don't know if you can understand that feeling. At that time, I made up my mind to be with her.”He looked straight at the empty downstairs.
"But I've never been in a relationship before university. I don't know how to express my feelings. I simply treated her well. I treated her very well, including her roommates. I often treated them to milk tea and supper. But slowly, Xin Yi noticed it and started to avoid me. Girls are very sensitive in this area. She sent me a text message to tell me that she wouldn't fall in love in university. It's a waste of time. She told me to find other girls. My feelings at that time were similar to yours now, but I completely ignored them. I was so foolish and happy. At most, you wouldn't like me. In any case, I had to be with you.”
Xiao Lin didn't interrupt him and listened to him seriously." But I never forced her to accept it. I've always been good to her. When she was sick, I accompanied her to the hospital. When she was sad, I chatted with her until late at night. Even so, there was a period of time after that when she did not reply to her text messages or pick up her calls. She did not even come to class. However, I didn't understand what I did wrong. My heart turned cold. I thought I had tried my best. There was nothing I could do if it didn't work, but there had to be an explanation. I asked her roommate to help me ask her out. I thought that at least we could part on good terms and still be friends in the future.”
Xie Wenhao smiled." On the night I asked Xin Yi out, I asked her directly what she was thinking. If she doesn't want to be with me, I won't look for her again in the future. If you're willing, let's be together and be my girlfriend. She didn't say anything, but in the end, it was a silent agreement. It has been more than a year since I started pursuing her and we finally got together. Later on, I found out that Xinyi told me that she didn't want to be in a relationship. She had never been in a relationship before and was worried that it would be too tiring. However, she knew that I had never been in a relationship before and that I was good enough to her, so she accepted me.”
Xie Wenhao sighed and continued," Now, Xinyi has gone to Japan. It's only been less than three months, but we've already quarreled more than ten times. It's not that we're not on good terms. Actually, I can understand. She left her father, mother, and me alone outside. She felt especially uncomfortable when she thought of me. Every time she watched an hour of video, she would argue for more than half an hour. I know that I still love her, and she hasn't changed her mind. Maybe quarreling is also a kind of emotional exchange.”Xie Wenhao seemed even more helpless. Xiao Lin didn't know who was comforting who.
"Wenhao, don't worry. Isn't Sister-in-law only in Japan for a little more than a year? She would be back in the first semester of her fourth year, and everything would be fine.”
"If Xin Yi doesn't go to Japan to take the postgraduate entrance exam, he will be able to come back in his fourth year.”Xie Wenhao shook his head," Let's not talk about Xinyi anymore. You should talk to Yi Meng face to face. Some problems can't be solved with just a few phone calls." See if you can ask her out. If not, go find her secretly.”
Xiao Lin didn't think that he would be able to get a date with her, but it was a good idea to go to her directly. He remembered that Yuan Yimeng had an elective dance class on Wednesday night, so it was definitely a good opportunity.
After chatting with Xie Wenhao, Xiao Lin's heart calmed down for two days. On Wednesday morning, Xiao Lin woke up. He picked up his phone and saw that it was only five o'clock. He wanted to sleep a little longer, but he couldn't, so he decided not to sleep.
Xiao Lin habitually placed his phone on the bed, not because he was too lazy to put it down, but because he was worried that someone would call him in the middle of the night.
Xiao Lin thought for a moment and realized that this habit was probably formed from his relationship with Bai Bingying. In the past, Bai Bingying would often have insomnia at night, a stomachache, or be scared awake by nightmares in the middle of the night. She would always be the first to call Xiao Lin. If Xiao Lin put his phone on the desk, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hear it if he fell asleep at night. He also didn't want to get out of bed in the middle of the night to get his phone.
Although he had broken up with Bai Bingying, he still couldn't change his habits. Xiao Lin thought that if Yuan Yimeng woke up in the middle of the night and called him, but didn't pick up, how regretful would that be?
There were a few small hanging buttons pasted on the ceiling. He wondered why the senior who lived here last year would be so elegant. What were the small hanging buttons used for? They shouldn't be used to hang clothes. The lights in the corridor outside the window had been turned off, and the gray light in the sky refracted into the dormitory through the window glass. Li Feng, Yang Yu, Zhou Xiaobo, and the others were still asleep. The surroundings were quiet, and no one got up.
Although he couldn't sleep, Xiao Lin didn't want to get up. It was already late autumn, and the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors was very large. It was more comfortable to stay under the blanket. Xiao Lin unlocked his phone. Yuan Yimeng was the wallpaper on the screen. She was smiling sweetly at Xiao Lin. Whenever Xiao Lin was unhappy, looking at her smiling face would always give him great encouragement. Xiao Lin logged into his Mobile Qzone and looked at the poems and essays he had written for Yuan Yimeng. He flipped through them one by one. There was one that Yuan Yimeng had reposted, and Xiao Lin especially liked it.
Night, quiet
All the restlessness of the day has returned to silence,
He took a deep breath.
The subtle voice was immediately swallowed.
The lonely street lamps probe the empty road,
The road stretches along with the lights,
The stars and the moon did not seem to be interested.
I was left in a dark corner.
In an instant, a breeze blew.
His body became light.
Drifting with the wind, falling at your door,
There were two auras inside and outside the door.
She is sleeping in her dreams, warm and sweet.
She murmured incoherently,
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
A few strands of hair scattered messily on her face.
Gently lift your bangs,
Leaving a kiss on your forehead,
Meeting you,
It was the greatest luck that the heavens had given me!
Xiao Lin to Yuan Yimeng
"Grandpa Lin, get up quickly. If you don't get up soon, you'll be late.”Yang Yu tugged at Xiao Lin's blanket and said," I've never seen you sleep so soundly before. In the past, whenever it was almost time, you would always be the first to wake up.”
"Don't pull at me. You tore the blanket. I woke up at around five o'clock. I don't know how I fell asleep again.”Xiao Lin didn't want to get up.
"7:40. Do you want me to help you apply for leave? Anyway, senior teachers are easy to talk to.”Zhou Xiaobo said as he got dressed under the bed.
"Go to the side. Why don't you ask around? When have I, Brother Lin, ever skipped class?”Xiao Lin sat up and stretched. "Eh, where's Li Feng?" Seeing that Li Feng wasn't in bed, Xiao Lin muttered to himself," I remember now. He went to the train station to pick someone up last night. I was wondering why I didn't hear the alarm ring this morning.”
Time passed really slowly during the day. The hour hand slowly moved back. Xiao Lin was always distracted during class, thinking about how to explain to Yuan Yimeng what was wrong with him that day and how to salvage the situation.
Finally, it was evening, and the sky had turned dark. However, Xiao Lin felt uneasy. How would he face her later? Would he be able to convince her to forgive him? Xiao Lin felt that he didn't have enough confidence. What should he do?
Although Xiao Lin had been in love twice, he still couldn't fathom a girl's thoughts. Thinking about this, he had to consider it from a girl's point of view. Xiao Lin thought about finding a girl to help him come up with ideas. Perhaps he would be more confident. Who should he look for?
Suddenly, a person jumped out of her mind. It was her, Yang Yuqi. Every time Xiao Lin encountered a relationship problem, Yang Yuqi was like Xiao Lin's relationship mentor. No matter when or where she was, she would always patiently help Xiao Lin analyze and help him come up with countermeasures.
Xiao Lin immediately dialed Yang Yuqi's number. When she picked up, Xiao Lin said impatiently,""Great Sage, it's urgent." Because Yang Yuqi had played the role of Sun Wukong in her freshman oral exam, Xiao Lin had kept the title of Great Sage for her.
"Brother Lin, what's the matter?" Yang Yuqi's side was noisy.
"Where are you? You haven't returned to school yet?" Xiao Lin remembered that she had asked for leave to go home last week.
"I'm still on the bus on the way back to school. Wait a minute. I'll plug in my earphones. It's a little noisy here.”After a while, she said," Alright, go ahead."
"It's like this, Yuqi. I'm going to look for a girl tonight to apologize. Last time, I didn't control my emotions on the phone and hurt her. But now, I don't know what to do to make her forgive me. I've been chasing this girl for a long time. I don't want to lose her because of this.”Xiao Lin told Yang Yuqi directly.
"No problem. That's my forte. But let me say this first. After I'm done, treat me to milk tea.”Yang Yuqi said with a smile.
"It's a small matter, plus a big meal." Xiao Lin patted his chest and promised.
"Brother Lin, forgive me for speaking too much. In order to carry out the next step of the work, I have to understand the basic situation. Does she like you?"
"I'm not sure if she likes me or not. I've been chasing her for seven or eight months, but at least she doesn't dislike me.”Xiao Lin said.
"No, let me think about it." Yang Yuqi paused for a moment." From a girl's point of view, there's still hope. Brother Lin, I'll give you three moves. I guarantee it'll be effective. The first move was to apologize sincerely. This was the key. The second method was to apologize in a unique way. One couldn't be too restrained. In other words, one had to be thick-skinned. The third method was to make her happy and make her laugh. Perhaps she would accept your apology when she was happy. Brother Lin, I'm not worried about these three moves at all.”
Yang Yuqi continued," As long as you lower your stance for the first move, you'll be able to Pass. You're the thick-skinned one in the media class for the second move, so it won't be a problem. As for the third move, you'll have to improvise. Brother Lin, you can buy her something she likes to eat. Girls are all foodies. However, you can't buy things casually. Things like potato chips and chocolates sold in the supermarket are too unthoughtful.”
Xiao Lin remembered the flower cake he brought back from Yunnan last time. He had originally planned to give it to her, but he hadn't found a suitable opportunity.
"Got it. Thank you, my dearest classmate Yu Qi.”Xiao Lin memorized all the moves Yang Yuqi said.
"No need to thank me. Remember to add milk tea to my meal. I wish you success.”Yang Yuqi encouraged.
"Thank you. Be careful on your way back.”
"Bye-bye." Yang Yuqi hung up the phone.
After the phone call, Xiao Lin was instantly filled with confidence. He picked up the flower cakes that he had brought back from Yunnan and walked out of the dormitory. They walked to the C stadium where Yuan Yimeng was learning dance. The stadium had a basketball court and a basketball court, as well as the school's flag class indoor exercise and military band practice grounds. The gymnasium was very spacious, and the energy-saving lamps hanging in the air were very bright and dazzling.
Xiao Lin walked into the hall. Although he was fully prepared, he could not help but feel a little nervous. The entire stadium was filled with rhythmic music notes. Coupled with the echoes, it made the passersby feel a sense of shock. Xiao Lin followed the beat of the music, searching for the source of the music.
On the volleyball court, a dance teacher stood in front, followed by fifteen girls who were learning dance. Although her back was facing Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin still recognized Yuan Yimeng at a glance. She had such a familiar back, swaying along with the music, a beautiful bun, and long hair that fluttered in the wind.
Xiao Lin sat down not far away and focused on Yuan Yimeng's dance. It was as if everyone else was just a foil. In Xiao Lin's heart, she was the main character, and her figure was dancing in his eyes.
"One two three four, two two three four, very good, three two three four, turn around.”The dance teacher said as she walked to the side of the dance student and guided," Raise your hands higher. The arc of this movement can't be too small."
Yuan Yimeng turned around and saw Xiao Lin, who was sitting at the side. She inadvertently looked at Xiao Lin, but pretended not to see him and quickly looked elsewhere. Xiao Lin thought to himself that it was indeed a tacit understanding. It had been a long time since he had seen her after returning from Yunnan. Even so, the two of them could still look at each other so coincidentally.
Thinking of the first move Yang Yuqi mentioned, Xiao Lin thought that since he had to be sincere, he would not leave tonight and wait until Yuan Yimeng finished her class. He had been sitting here for a long time, letting Yuan Yimeng see his sincerity. Xiao Lin sat on the chair, not speaking, not making a sound, and not playing with his phone. He just watched Yuan Yimeng practice without moving. Yuan Yimeng didn't seem uncomfortable because of Xiao Lin's presence. She practiced her dance and tried her best to avoid looking at Xiao Lin.
By the time Yuan Yimeng and the others finished their dance practice, almost two hours had passed. Although they had rested for ten minutes in between, Xiao Lin was not in a hurry to find Yuan Yimeng.
"Everyone performed very well today. Everyone needs to practice more after class and continue to work hard. Also, we would like to thank our only audience tonight, that guy who sat here and watched us dance for more than two hours.”The girls 'eyes followed the direction of the teacher's finger and looked at Xiao Lin." Everyone, give him a round of applause.”
A friendly round of applause rang out." Okay, students. See you next week.”The dance teacher bowed to everyone, picked up the sound system, and left.
Seeing Yuan Yimeng pick up her messenger bag and was about to leave, Xiao Lin quickly stood up and rushed to her side. Xiao Lin was ready to execute the second move, thick-skinned and shameless. Yuan Yimeng grabbed the arm of a girl beside her and deliberately ignored Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin had no choice but to follow beside them, walking unhurriedly.
"Yi Meng, who is this boy? Why are you following us?" the girl whispered to Yuan Yimeng.
"Hello, I'm Xiao Lin from the International Education Institute. I'm Xiaomeng's friend. I'm here to pick her up.”Xiao Lin spoke slowly.
The girl was surprised that Xiao Lin had heard her whisper." Yi Meng, why don't I leave first?"”The girl wanted to leave, but Yuan Yimeng didn't say anything or let go of the girl's arm.
Seeing that Yuan Yimeng didn't let go, Xiao Lin thought that if this continued, he definitely wouldn't have a chance. He walked to the other side of Yuan Yimeng and grabbed her left arm. He smiled and said to the girl,"You can go back first. Thank you for taking care of Yi Meng.”
Yuan Yimeng wanted to break free from Xiao Lin's hand, but her friend was there. She didn't want to embarrass Xiao Lin, so she let go of the girl's arm and let her leave first.
The girl walked further away. Yuan Yimeng looked coldly at Xiao Lin who was holding her hand. Xiao Lin didn't react for a moment." Your hand."”Yuan Yimeng said briefly, and Xiao Lin hurriedly moved his hand away.
The two of them walked in silence for a while. Xiao Lin coughed a few times." Xiaomeng, I came to look for you tonight mainly to apologize to you. It was my fault last time. I shouldn't have said that. But I hope you can forgive me. At that time, I was allergic to seafood and felt very uncomfortable. I was confused and said the wrong thing. I sincerely apologize to you now. I'm sorry.”
Yuan Yimeng didn't say anything. "Xiaomeng, I know you like to eat flower pancakes, so I specially brought them back from Yunnan for you.”Xiao Lin picked up the box. Yuan Yimeng was still silent. She didn't even look at Xiao Lin and continued walking forward.
Xiao Lin watched as Yuan Yimeng walked towards the eight dormitory buildings and was at a loss.
"Xiaomeng, if you don't forgive me today, I'll go back to the dormitory with you.”Xiao Lin thought that it was over. Although the first two moves had been carried out, he did not see any results. The third move could not be used at the last minute. What should he do?
"If Auntie lets you in, come with me.”Yuan Yimeng suddenly said after two minutes, which finally made Xiao Lin heave a sigh of relief.
"I can dress up as a woman." After saying that, Xiao Lin laughed foolishly to himself.
Yuan Yimeng stopped at the entrance of the eighth building." I forgive you for sitting there for two hours tonight." As for the flower cake, it's my compensation for being sad for a few days. Alright, don't follow me anymore. Come back after you put on makeup next time.”Yuan Yimeng took the gift box from Xiao Lin and walked inside.
Xiao Lin happily walked back to his dormitory, unable to help but sigh at the heavens 'blessing on him.
