this life is waiting

Chapter 23

The days at home are more paralyzing than those at school. If no one asks you out, you must have a bed, a sofa, and a dining table for a day.

Maybe it's because my dad couldn't stand it anymore. He called me every day during the last few days of the semester and asked me when I would be home, but he was only at home for a few days, and the look in my eyes turned into disgust.

Finally, after I went to the kitchen to wash the fruit and came back, blocking his view of watching TV, he clicked his tongue and pointed at me with the remote control: "Shaking, hanging at home all day long."

I turned my head and stood in the middle of the TV with my hips on my hips, stomped my feet and snorted, "I just shook."

However, my father's attention was not on me, and he waved the remote control a few times in an indifferent attitude, motioning for me to go away.

My mother came out after washing the dishes, and all she saw was me sitting on the edge of the sofa gnawing an apple, probably overheard the conversation just now, she wiped her hands and laughed, then seemed to think of something, and looked up at me There was some change in his eyes.

She asked, "How are you and Tang Shuo doing?"

I pause.

My parents know about Tang Shuo, and they are mainly thanks to my cousin. The two of them became friends because of games. Then call it casually, and Tang Shuo will give it away in a good mood.

Cousin has never been tight-lipped. During a month of dark and windy nights, he didn't know what kind of muscle cramps he had, and told his mother about Tang Shuo's existence, so my parents knew that I had a boyfriend.

At the beginning, my parents were still a bit repulsive. When they called me to inquire about the situation, their tone was very cautious. They asked about Tang Shuo's personal situation. After all, this is my first boyfriend in my life, and they are very concerned.

At that time Tang Shuo had just treated me to a seafood feast, so how could I have the heart to belittle him, and even praised him like a hype.

Coupled with the cousin's idol-like narration, Tang Shuo's image in my parents' hearts gradually increased.

I don't know what their attitude will be when they know that we have broken up. In my opinion, they are very old-fashioned people in their hearts. Breaking up after only being together for a year and a half will make them feel that their daughter is frivolous.

"That's it." I replied casually.

Dad turned his head and glanced at me after hearing this, and put the remote control on the table, "If you like it, bring it back in a few years and have a look."

In a few years...

Those who love long-distance runners do not understand the pain of being loved by fast food.

In order to drive me out, I was forcibly taken out by my mother. Watching her dance in the square for half an hour, I found it noisy and boring, so I refused her request to dance and walked away by myself.

After walking in the park for a few minutes, I felt that the scenery here was very familiar. I took out my mobile phone and found the previous photos of He Cheng, and I saw the same background building inside.

This makes me very excited, I have something to do.

It didn't take long for me to find the shooting location. Although it was already night, and the low grass that used to be on the ground had grown very tall, it was still clearly visible.

No wonder those people like to go to the scenic spots on the RMB. This kind of feeling is probably understood by those who have experienced it. There is only a timeline of one minute and one second, as if it is the precipitation after a lot of hard work.

I put the photo in front of the landscape and compared it. Except for the missing person, the others are almost the same. After looking at it for a while, I turned on the camera in my mobile phone and took a selfie. Unfortunately, the light was too weak, and the photo I'm very dark here.

After taking a few more shots and the effect was still the same, I gave up on the project when suddenly my phone rang.

High school friend Feng Jiang called, she said her mother's birthday is tomorrow, and asked me if I have time to accompany her to buy a gift.

Thinking it was all right, she agreed. After meeting, she first gave me a big hug, then rubbed my bangs a few times, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yi Xiao Yi, long time no see."

I also stroked her bangs back, a little harder, messing up her hair, and said, "Feng Jiang, Feng Jiang, long time no see."

She glared at me.

A new silver jewelry store has opened in the south of the city. Feng Jiang got the news from the Internet, and just in time for her mother's birthday, she went to have a look.

These days, you must visit and eat new stores as soon as possible, otherwise you don't know when it will close down.

I talked and laughed with her and went in to pick out gifts. She bought a necklace for her mother, and I thought I’d buy one for my mother as well. Difficulties will not last for a long time, so the saying that time is the best medicine is still very accurate, you can't be difficult for a lifetime.

While watching the clerk packing, I heard the robot by the door say welcome. Feng Jiang and I both turned our heads and saw a couple coming in.

From this I sigh, the world is really small

The man in the couple was obviously taken aback when he saw me, and I was also taken aback, and grabbed Feng Jiang's hand in fear.

Although it has been a long time since I saw her, I still remember her name, Wang Kaijie, my junior high school classmate.

Our bond began in the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, an activity organized by the class, that unlucky time, only the two of us lost the ticket, and encountered many difficulties in the process of reissuing.

At that time, I just felt pity for each other, and the way I looked at each other was just a little pitiful and sympathetic. Later, I realized that this was not the case.

A few days later, when we were lucky enough to collide head-on at the gate of the class to fill in the volunteers, bad things happened frequently. I almost couldn’t receive the express delivery of the school’s notification letter because of some trivial things, and I was almost hit by a car when I went out.And these, after looking back, are all because I met him during this period.

He told me that he was the same way, and every time he met me, nothing good happened.

So we agreed that the next time we meet each other, we must take a detour and block all contact information without hesitation.

I, who never believed in evil, followed my mother to the temple to burn incense before the first year of high school, praying that I would never see Wang Kaijie again in this life.

Today's encounter must have made us all very scared. You see, his hand holding the doorknob seemed to shake a bit.

The four of us just froze in place. Before the clerk could ask, Wang Kaijie took his girlfriend and ran away in a panic, making me look like his ex-girlfriend.

Feng Jiang knew about Wang Kaijie. After I told her about our experience, she said that we fell in love and killed each other without thinking.

The word love and kill is really unbearable, but I think, if we can use a song to describe the relationship between us, it would probably be, when I met you, all the bird shit fell on my head.

But it seems that Feng Jiang was already very unlucky when he didn't meet me. I recognized the girl next to him just now, she was Chen Hui.

After finishing everything, we found a cafe to sit and chat. On the way to the cafe, we were very careful for fear of accidents.

Fortunately, the process was smooth and smooth. After the drinks were served, Feng Jiang smiled at me a few times, and I also laughed tacitly.

It's quite funny.

She took a sip and asked, "After you broke up with that so-and-so, how are you doing now? Have you met anyone new?"

I bit the straw.

There are few people in the store tonight, and soft English songs are played in the background music. Although I know that my voice is not enough for the third person to hear, I still asked a question in a low voice.

"What do you think about homosexuality?"

Feng Jiang shrugged after hearing this: "That's it, how can I have any opinion."

I oh.

She said, "What? Have you become a rotten girl?"

Um, no.

She laughed: "What's the matter, true love knows no gender, I'm also slightly corrupt, especially comics, wow, some of them are really cute."

Ah, no.

As she spoke, she became excited: "What have you been watching recently, let's share it."

no……

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone, and seeing that my eyes had changed, as if she had found a confidant, she pushed aside the two drinks on the table, and excitedly introduced to me the anime she was following recently.

I……

I coughed, interrupted her nymphomaniac's introduction to Xiaoshou, and said, "What about two girls." I swallowed, "What do you think of the two girls?"

She said indifferently: "Lily." She scratched her head: "I haven't watched Lily, but I have friends who have watched Lily. Turn around and I..."

"No, no, no, no." I interrupted her again, feeling very helpless.

She didn't want to finish it, she turned around and brought up the topic of his favorite character, boasting non-stop for a long time.

Seeing her like this, I suddenly thought of He Cheng a little bit. Thinking of this, I reached out and touched the bag.

The glove He Cheng gave me lay obediently inside. Although I had no plan to go out to find her, I still put it in my bag, just in case I ran into her on the street.

However, I was still too naive, city a is so big.

After going back, I gave the necklace I bought to my mother. She put it on happily and said that I wasted money randomly. I smiled and said that I like it, but when I turned around, I saw my father’s sad eyes. What.

When I go out, I always want to buy something for my mother when I see it. It's not because of love, but because of boys' gifts, which are really rare.

Before going to bed, I sent Feng Jiang a message to ask her to go shopping with me tomorrow. I plan to buy a tie for my dad.

After she readily agreed, I quit, slid down a little on the WeChat interface, and saw He Cheng's profile picture.

If you no longer want to chat with a person, I suggest you delete her from your chat, otherwise one day, one time, when you get excited, you can't help but click in again, crackling.

I flipped through the chat history with her, logged out, clicked in again, clicked in the dialog box, and logged out again.

In fact, I really want to say something to her, but what should I say?

The two of them haven't experienced daily conversations for too long, and everything they say in the future will become superfluous.

I suddenly miss the days when I had to tell her about the big shit that happened in my life, but what can I do, it's all because of me.

After struggling for a long time, I still sent her a message.

Me: Are you cold?

Me: when will you return the gloves

It's almost one o'clock in the morning, and when I thought she was asleep, she was able to return to me quickly.

He Cheng: Are you free tomorrow?

Me: I have an appointment with my friends to go shopping tomorrow.

Me: I plan to go back to high school for fun.

Me: I don't know when it will end

Me: where is your home?I'll send it over?

He Cheng: Tell me when you leave school tomorrow.

I'm good.

After saying goodnight, I rolled around on the bed twice, as if I had let go of my thoughts, felt at ease, and felt very sleepy.

He Cheng, He Cheng, we will meet again.
