Chapter 16 Flowers Fading Remnant Red Green Apricot Small (Part 1)

"Mom, I'm back!"

As usual, Wang Jinglu entered the door, put down the keys, changed into slippers, and walked into the living room.

Wang Jinglu's mother was busy making dinner in the kitchen. Hearing this, she looked out and said, "Are you back? Wait a minute, dinner will be ready in a while!"

Wang Jinglu promised, put the satchel on the coffee table in the living room, walked into the kitchen with a bounce, put her shoulder on her mother's shoulder, and said, "Mom, I'm hungry... what's delicious today."

Mom looked at her dotingly, "I know you're hungry, it's almost time! If your dad doesn't come back today, it's just the two of us, but mom steamed your favorite meatball..."

"Wow!" Wang Jing showed a greedy face.

At this time, her mother pushed her and said, "Okay, okay, go out, watch TV, or practice the piano, just wait a while, don't mess with mom here!"

With a cry of "Oh", Wang Jinglu withdrew from the kitchen.

Still bouncing around, she took her satchel to the bedroom, then came back and sat in front of the piano, ready to practice for a while.

Open the piano cover, fingers lightly, and a brisk melody slowly flows out.

To say that I learned this when I was a child, it was really necessary for my sister to lead me into this door, but later, she gradually fell in love with the feeling of letting the notes flow through her fingertips.

Those happy, sad, bright and holy notes can make her completely forget everything around her, let her completely immerse herself in it, and get the purest happiness that music can give!

Of course...not today.

Yesterday, today, tomorrow, and perhaps many days to come, her heart can no longer accommodate anything else, and what flashes in her mind is the day he and she passed together.

Do you admire? Is it love?

she does not know.

Maybe, maybe not.

All she knew was that she was very happy the day she was with him.

Although they just watched a few boring movies that day in her opinion.

I still remember when I was young, because the two families lived opposite each other, there was always some walking around. Maybe the relationship between the two families may not be so close, but children don’t know that. A little boy and a little girl of the same age met and played hide-and-seek together , watching cartoons together, going crazy together, running together, he teased himself to cry, he teased himself to laugh...

The adults must think that the children will not remember those scenes in a few years, but she knows that she always remembers them. Those pictures will still be as fresh as yesterday.

Only later, when the little boy and the little girl grew up and were about to go to school, their parents would teach them: You are a girl, you have to be good, be honest, and don’t play with boys all the time, especially us The kid at the door, look crazy and dirty every day, if you play with him all the time, your parents, your sister, your teacher, and your classmates won’t like you anymore. Do you understand?

She knows, she knows everything, although not as early as her elder sister, but she also started to understand at a very young age, she knew that her parents were really reluctant to let herself continue to play with that little boy.

So unknowingly, they began to drift apart slowly.

Of course, just alienate.

We live opposite each other, are the same age, and go to the same school, so it's hard not to see each other. Moreover, we have known each other for a long time. It seems that we have been living in each other's life since the time we can remember. , but it is enough to keep each other in their hearts that indescribable acquaintance.

It seems that whoever takes the initiative to hook their fingers first will immediately return to the crazy childhood.

Then, two people went to the same elementary school, then the same junior high school, and then the same high school.

It should be...after the high school entrance examination. I remember that the weather was gloomy that day. It seemed that it was going to rain but it just couldn't hold back. The weather was very hot and stuffy. He came back from playing basketball, holding the ball in his arms, sweating Riding a bicycle drippingly back, she also happened to go to Daming Lake with a few classmates to go home for a day, everyone almost rode into the community with both feet, and then came to the corridor, he locked the car, and she locked the car , he went upstairs, she also went upstairs.

He is at the front and she is at the back.

She seemed to be able to smell the strong smell of sweat coming from him.

He suddenly said, "Where are you going to study in high school?"

"Thirteenth High School, my dad said it." She said.

He said "hmm" and didn't speak. After a while, she asked, "What about you?"

"I'm also in the thirteenth high school, and that's what my dad said." He replied.

She said "oh".

This time he said, "We haven't played together for a long time, have we?"

She nodded first, remembering that she was standing behind him, and he couldn't see her nodding, so she gave a low "hmm".

Then, they arrived at each other's doorsteps.

The third floor is really too short.

However, when they reached the door of the house, the two of them stopped at the same time.

He turned around, and she turned back, and they looked at each other briefly, and she quickly turned away.

At this time, he said: "It's so hot in the sky. It is said that it is thirty-five degrees today. I don't think it's cool under the fan, but it's not as good as the roof. As long as there is wind, it will be cool."

She said "oh".

He stopped talking, and neither did she.

The two stood still for a while, and he spoke first again, "Then, I'll go home first."

She nodded, "Well, I'm going home too, bye."

"Goodbye," he said.

Then, after about twenty minutes, he went up to the rooftop.

After another ten minutes, she also went up to the rooftop.

It was very strange between them. It seemed that there were not many topics to talk about, so everyone was silent. Occasionally he tried to bring up a topic, and it was often he who said a few words, and she said "um" or "oh".

It was really hot that day, and there was no wind on the roof either.

But it turns out he wasn't lying.

There is only wind on the roof, which is indeed much cooler and more comfortable than a fan.

Of course, after the strong wind, there will be lightning, thunder and downpour.

The two of them first stretched out their arms against the wind, showing wanton smiles, and then hid in the corridor in panic.

However, since that day, they have become more and more in harmony.

In other words, that tacit understanding was restored.

Every now and then, the two of them would go to the top of the building to stay for a while, sometimes he went and she didn't go, sometimes he didn't go and she went, but it didn't matter, even if the two of them were at the same time, they wouldn't talk too much , it seems that all the words have been said and said in the crazy running and laughing in those years when they were young, and they don't need to say any more.

Therefore, it is good to just lie on the protective wall and blow the wind quietly for a while.

Then, when everyone has a mobile phone, it will be more convenient.

He wanted to see her, so he texted her.

She wanted to see him, so she also sent text messages.

His text messages are very simple, often just two words: the top of the building.

Her text message is simpler, just a space.

At that time, they chatted occasionally, but never talked about school, study, etc. He would talk about how good a martial arts novel he read recently, and she would say that she bought a skirt today, so it was good. Beautiful, beautiful, I like it very much.

Then he said, that's good, let me wear it at school tomorrow, and I'll show you the novel.

She said yes.

Then the topic expands a bit.

His parents, her parents, and sister.

Later, there was her little mother.

Later, the newly married young couple on the fifth floor opposite would quarrel and fight, the old lady on the first floor had a dog called Beibei, etc... Her sister finally released an album, although it is Together with the other four girls, these male teachers like to stare at Teacher Qi... and so on.

Of course, most of the time, it is still silent.

Even many times, he or she came up first, and then the other one came up too.

They didn't greet each other or greet each other, they just leaned on the protective wall and stared into the distance in a daze, neither of them said a word.

Maybe ten minutes, maybe twenty minutes, maybe thirty minutes, when one of them suddenly comes to his senses, he will say, "I'm going down first, I'm going to bed early today", or "I'm leaving, wait My mother will find me later", when the other one nodded, this one went downstairs first.

There was not even an iota of communication from start to finish.

But the two of them just felt very comfortable in this way, so they never tired of it.

She didn't know if he would think of other things, such as... After the two of them, she thought he should have thought about it too, because she knew that she had thought about it.

But the two never spoke.

Obviously very familiar, but very strange.

Until... that day.

She didn't know if she was stimulated or what, her sister insisted on letting her go to BJ to study in her third year of high school, her parents obviously wanted to match her with that Zhao Yumin, or something, anyway, she suddenly felt a little panicked.

So she thought: I can't go on like this.

Thinking about it, the future is already in sight!

So, she said: You can't ignore it!

So, for the first time, when he said he wanted to go to the movies, she insisted on going too.

For the first time, each of them listened to the same sound from the same Walkman, each with a headset.

For the first time, they sat side by side in a movie theater, watching the same scene in the same movie on the screen.

For the first time, no, it should be said that it was the first time after resuming communication, they actually talked so much in one day, and they actually stayed together for a whole day!

Didn't say like, didn't say love, didn't kiss, even... didn't hold hands.

Several times, she deliberately swung her arms away from her body, expecting the moment of body temperature after her hands collided, while suppressing the violent beating sound of her heart.

It was a suffocating feeling.

Sometimes, it was her hand that touched his hand.

Sometimes, it was his hand that touched her hand.

She didn't know if he meant it, but she knew for sure that she was.

No one said anything, and no one even showed anything, but it was just... so happy.

In the movie theater, she held the bucket of popcorn he bought, and occasionally stuffed it into her mouth, and then touched him with her arm, and he would grab a few and stuff it into his mouth.

His eyes were always fixed on the painting screen. His eyes were bright and sharp, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about some serious and important issue.

She just watched movies for a while, and watched him for a while.

After she came back, she even thought that if nothing else disturbed her, that day alone would be enough for her to reminisce for a long time. —Maybe it should be the same for him?

Thinking of this, a sweet smile appeared on her face again.

…………

In the kitchen, Wang Jinglu's mother couldn't help but turn around and look this way, even though she was very busy, listening to the unbelievably messy piano sound in the living room.

Then, she saw the sweet smile on her daughter's face from the heart, and suddenly remembered the time when she first met the father of the two sisters. Then, she couldn't help but sighed.

"Xiaolu, it's time to eat!" she shouted.
