I stand on the bridge and watch the scenery

Chapter 3

Xiao Shuiguang's hometown is a typical Xi'an courtyard. There are three families in the courtyard. Although they are not considered relatives, they have some revolutionary feelings, which naturally belong to the previous generation.

As far as Shuiguang's generation is concerned, including her, there are four children in the courtyard, two boys and two girls, all about the same age.

Xiao Shuiguang was the youngest. In 1997, she was ten years old, Yu Jingqin was 11 years old, and the other two boys were the same age. Luo Zhi and Yu Jinglan were 13 years old. The children who came out of a compound naturally had a better relationship than those from outside.Although Shuiguang is one year younger than Jingqin, the two have been in the same class since they were young, and their personalities are compatible. Coupled with the relationship between going to and going to school together, they add another bond of affection.

As for her relationship with boys, because Luo Zhi is more cheerful and Yu Jinglan is a little more mature, Xiao Shuiguang often joins Luo Zhi together.Yu Jinglan is also used to being with his younger sister Yu Jingqin, they have a good relationship with each other, Jingqin would praise her brother in front of Shuiguang from time to time about how knowledgeable, talented, hardworking and smart he is.Well, Shui Guang thought, bullying me that I have no brother to show off, so he said: "Yes, yes, your brother is good at everything, he is the best. Someday you don't want him, give him to me, let him I am also proud once." At this time, Yu Jingqin always laughed.

Xiao Shuiguang, Luo Zhi, Yu Jinglan, and Yu Jingqin are true childhood sweethearts. They have known each other since they knew people, and they know each other well.

After Shuiguang went to high school, she separated from Jingqin, and went to a different class. Luo Zhi smiled and said that the conjoined twins were finally separated.

Xiao Shuiguang's grades were very good in the first year of high school. He was always in the top five in his class and top twenty in his grade. Of course, only he knew how much effort and painstaking efforts he had put in to achieve such excellent grades.

Shuiguang's deskmate once said after the midterm exam: "Xiao Shuiguang, you are the top five in the class again, you are so lucky!"

Shui Guang thought, Comrade, you said that my good grades are due to luck. I don’t feel happy at all. I work so hard. I listen carefully to every class. Don't sleep at all, it's all hard work the day after tomorrow.Of course, it doesn't mean that I'm not smart, Shui Guang added inwardly.

After class that day, Xiao Shuiguang leaned against the window and meditated. She analyzed herself and found that she was not as smart as Jing Lan, as lucky as Azhi, as diligent...and Jingqin.Jingqin is the kind of person who always holds Tang poems and Song poems in the bathroom, and thinks about relativity when eating. She is always in the top five of her grade, and the two brothers and sisters are really powerful characters.Therefore, Xiao Shuiguang felt pessimistic, and finally sighed, "Why am I so unlucky!"

Xiao Shuiguang's deskmate glanced at her, and said, "Yo, how can you be a good boy if you get a bargain?"

"Girl, why do you keep poking my spine? Why don't you target the first grader?"

The eldest lady gave a "cut" sound, and said, "It's too late, so I have to do it soon."

This straightforward, poisonous, and jealous girl is called Jasmine, and her surname is Tang.But she hated her surname and thought it was very vulgar, so when she first started school, she told the people around her that they had to call her "Jasmine" or "Lily" directly.Well, she has already been affectionately called "Lily" by the crowd before everyone recognizes each other's faces at the beginning of school, which shows her skill.

Later, nearly ten years later, Tang Moli put her arms around Shuiguang's shoulders and said, "Xiao Shuiguang, Xiao Shuiguang, seeing you is like seeing the sun at seven or eight o'clock. Only you have witnessed my most beautiful youth."

What I said, Shui Guang wanted to say something back, so did I, but I gave up because I felt ambiguous.

Xiao Shuiguang's life in high school was actually quite ignorant. The only thing she was sure of was that she would study hard and get admitted to a certain university, and that she liked Yu Jinglan.

When it comes to the last incident, Xiao Shuiguang himself can't tell when it started.He doesn't talk much, but she likes it; Shui Guang likes the quiet look in his eyes when he gives her and Jingqin extra lessons.She also likes his clean smell, his shiny black hair, and his slow tone when he speaks...

Alas, Shui Guang looks out of the window habitually. When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, it is always easy to miss spring.

After the teacher procrastinated for more than ten minutes, the last class was finally over. Immediately there was the sound of packing up things in the class. Those who went home went home, and those who lived on campus went to the cafeteria to eat.

Xiao Shuiguang slowly put the books to be read tonight into the bag. Someone called her at the back door, and it was naturally Yu Jingqin.

"Shuiguang, let's go!"

Xiao Shuiguang walked out of the classroom and walked side by side with Jingqin, and said as he walked, "I'm starving to death, Xiaoqin, are there any biscuits in the bag?"

"No, it was taken away by my brother in the morning. He said that there is a football match today, so he must be hungry."

Yu Jinglan is a genius, he is a genius, he is already in his third year of high school, and he still has time, mood and interest to play football.

Speaking of which, Yu Jinglan likes football, which is rare.After all, this refreshing boy is more suitable for Go, swimming and so on.But she had seen a game of Yu Jinglan, the sun shone on his cheeks, showing colorful light and shadows, and the youth overflowed from the hair and skin, so bright that it made people's heart skip a beat.But Shuiguang's heartbeat was not because of the dazzling moment, she accumulated bit by bit, collected bit by bit, and it took many years to become: I like Yu Jinglan.

Xiao Shuiguang talked and laughed with Jingqin all the way to the school gate, and saw Yu Jinglan from a distance, standing tall and straight in the sunset, next to Luo Zhi, as soon as he approached, he heard Luo Zhi saying: "Today It’s so exciting! This week is so stressful, whether it’s the entrance exam or the simulation, it turns out that exercising and sweating are the most silty.”

Yu Jinglan nodded, he always saw Xiao Shuiguang's person first, so he waved to them.

Shui Guang walked up with Jing Qin, Jing Qin asked in surprise, "Why are you waiting for us so kindly today?"

Luo Zhi said: "Brothers, when did you lose your heart?" He came over and put his arms around Xiao Shuiguang, "Shuiguang, why are you keeping your head down?"

Shui Guang said, "I'm shy."

Luo Zhi gave a "reliance" and said, "Mother, I have goosebumps."

Xiao Shuiguang is quite literary in nature, but because he has been with Luo Zhi since he was a child, no matter how gentle he is, there are still some bad tempered and rascals, he naturally knows best.

Shui Guang smiled, then covered his stomach and said: "I'm hungry, I'm starving to death, go home, I want to eat meat."

Luo Zhi said: "You said that you are a girl, and you always yell about eating meat. It's too ugly."

"But it's true that the meat is more palatable. Oh, just thinking about it makes me hungrier."

Xiaoqin was already dying of laughter, and said, "Shuiguang is the most honest."

Luo Zhi sighed, "Fortunately, I have a standard body, and I didn't eat like a pig, otherwise I won't be able to marry in the future."

These words, when Shuiguang has become so many years later—a leftover girl, I feel that Luo Xiaozhi's mouth is really a crow's mouth.Of course, those years of life didn't make her gain any weight.Of course, these are all things for later.

As soon as Luo Zhi finished sighing, Yu Jinglan next to him took out a bag of biscuits from his bag and gave it to Shuiguang, saying, "Shuiguang, eat first."

Shui Guang happily took it and said, "Thank you!"

Yu Jingqin let out a "Huh" and said, "Brother, haven't you eaten any biscuits?"

Yu Jinglan said, "Forgot."

That year, Yu Jinglan and Luo Zhi had finished their college entrance examinations, and they were about to fly to other cities to attend universities.

Both of them were winners of the Gold List, and three banquet tables were set up in the compound, and relatives, friends and neighbors were invited to celebrate.Luo Zhi's university is in a neighboring province, not too far away, a famous school; Yu Jinglan goes north, naturally it is also a famous university, but it is far away.

But this summer, Xiao Shuiguang did something stupid.Under the big locust tree, many people were drunk, and Shui Guang seemed to be drunk too. She held the empty beer can tightly, looked at the people around her congratulating him, then stood up and said, "Jing Lan, I like you." Then he repeated softly, "I like you."

The surrounding was much quieter. The boy who was three years older than her and much taller than her turned to look at her. His eyes were so dark and quiet, just like when he was giving her tutoring, and his voice was also the same. As usual, calm and gentle, he said: "Shuiguang, you are drunk."

I am drunk?Later, when Shuiguang drank with his college classmates, he could fight three against each other. They said, "Xiao Shuiguang, a hero of the female high school, why the hell have I never seen you drunk before!"

Yu Jinglan, I have been able to drink since I was a child, know how to drink, and love to drink, how could you not know?

Mother Xiao said embarrassingly: "The little girl is messing around, don't pay attention to her!"

The elders looked at her tolerantly.

Xiaoqin gently tugged at her cuff, "What's wrong, Shuiguang?"

Luo Zhi looked at her and frowned.

No one thinks this is a good thing, some don't take it seriously, some don't believe it, and some make a fuss.

But Shui Guang still looked at him, thinking bit by bit, because I am younger than you, you don't believe me because I am unreliable, or do you choose to ignore it because you don't want to accept it?In fact, as long as you give me a reason, anything is fine, as long as you don't... ignore it.

Shui Guang returned to the table, raised the beer can, and said, "Mom, I'm drunk."

Mother Xiao patted her daughter's cheek dumbfounded.

Yu Jinglan and Luo Zhi left at the beginning of September, and Shuiguang sent Luo Zhi off for no other reason. She and Luo Zhi were closer than Yu Jinglan.

Luo Zhi took advantage of his mother to walk away and said to her: "Shui Guang, Jing Lan, I don't want you to affect your studies, you... you are admitted to university..."

Shui Guang said, "Even if I fall in love, it won't affect my studies. Luo Zhi, thank you for your comfort."

Luo Zhi sighed and said, "Call me brother, I will be comforted when I leave! You have never called me brother since you were young."

Shui Guang smiled and said, "Brother Luo Zhi, the journey is smooth and the future is bright."

No matter whether you feel tired, melancholy or happy, the days will pass at its own pace and will not stop because of your mood.In the second year of high school, Shui Guang surprisingly got the third grade in the first big exam. Miss Jasmine gave her a sideways look and said, "Evil!"

Shui Guang thought to himself, it's better luck to be evil than shit.

That day, Shuiguang went to find Jingqin. Jingqin was standing in the corridor on the phone. When she saw Shuiguang, she went up and pulled her, and said as she walked outside: "I'm fifth, brother, do you want to reward her?" ah?"

The two walked to the flower table and sat, Shuiguang looked up at the light scattered under the big tree, feeling that nature is really wonderful, then she heard Jingqin say: "Shuiguang is No.3 this time! Strong?"

I don't know what the other person said, but Shui Guang was dazzled by the light. She stood up and said, "I'm going back to the classroom, I'm dizzy."

Jingqin said "ah", and when she recovered, Shuiguang had already waved goodbye to her.

Shuiguang faintly heard Xiaoqin saying to the person on the phone: "Shuiguang is dizzy, go back to the classroom."

This is really not fooling, really dizzy.Shui Guang lay down on the table when she returned to the classroom, and her deskmate pushed her and said, "What's the matter? Are you still depressed after being number one?"

Shui Guang turned his head, "Miss Lily, I'm very sad now, push me to bite you again."

Tang Moli "cut" her again and said, "I can't bite you to death!"

Someone... is willing to bow down.

The summer vacation of the second year of high school came very fast and went very slowly.

On the first day of the holiday, Shuiguang slept at home for a full twenty hours, and got up to eat lunch. It was rare for the military area to rest and his father who was at home saw her, shook his head and said to Xiao's mother: "My daughter is too spoiled."

Didn't I just sleep in for a while, as for?Shuiguang slandered.However, as a soldier whose efficiency and perseverance can be seen from the performance of Xiao's father in a second, her behavior of sleeping late is absolutely unqualified.

Under the pressure of his father, Shuiguang ran out to the yard after eating in a hurry, and saw that the gate of Yu's house was open. Last night, Xiaoqin also explained that he went hiking with his parents early in the morning, and returned so soon?Shui Guang passed by after thinking about it, and said, "I'm back so early, Jing..." The word "Qin" was slightly changed to "Lan" after seeing the person drinking from a water glass inside.

Seeing the people coming in, Yu Jinglan paused before saying, "Shuiguang, long time no see."

"It's only half a year, it's okay." Shui Guang saw that Yu's father and mother hadn't come back yet, "Uh, have you eaten yet?"

"I just came."

Shui Guang said: "Would you like to go to my house to eat, my parents are there."

Yu Jinglan said softly: "No, Jingqin and the others should be back soon, I just called them."

What should I say next?It seems that there is nothing to say.

"Oh, then I'll go back first, I'll come over when Jingqin is back."

Yu Jinglan looked at her for a while, then said softly, "Okay."

Now Xiao Shuiguang is especially afraid of summer and summer vacation.She was afraid that she would accidentally have another brain twitch and say "I like you", and she was afraid that the other party would say "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly".

Luo Zhi also came back within two days. That night, Shui Guang heard several elders in the compound sitting in the shade, saying, in the blink of an eye, all four children have grown up, so fast.

Yes, that's fast.

However, this holiday is so slow.

So Shuiguang signed up for the summer Sanda class. Shuiguang has been sent by her father to practice martial arts self-defense since she was six years old. At that time, most of the awards posted at home were martial arts awards, and few were commended for their outstanding studies.When I was in high school, Xiao's mother finally couldn't help shouting at Xiao's father: "You really treat our girl like a boy?! Come on, don't learn about beating and kicking, hurry up and study, you won't pass the exam. The university will see how I deal with you father and son!"

It is rare for Xiao's mother to show her power, and once she does, she is very powerful, so Xiao's father had to issue an order to release the animals and return them to freedom.

When I was a child, Shuiguang also felt bitter. Girls from other families practiced ballet, played the violin, and practiced calligraphy and painting, but she pressed her legs and kicked her legs every day. Although I feel tired occasionally, I never cried for pain.

After achieving something, I still feel that I am very powerful. Although she is small, no one can beat her in a fight. When boys bully Xiaoqin, she can push people to the ground in two or three times. It is not because of strength, but because of her strength. Skills, I feel that kind of energy is innate.

However, after entering high school, she was able to study in peace. If she didn't go to university, she was afraid that her mother would be sad. Moreover, she did have her own goals, which were too high, and she couldn't do without working hard.

When Shuiguang went to the Sanda class to report on the first day, he unexpectedly met classmate Jasmine. The two met face to face.

And after that day, classmate Jasmine never dared to push the water or sour water after any exam. I have to say that sometimes violence is more effective than reason.

The summer vacation passed slowly, and Shuiguang was very busy. She was busy practicing Sanda and preparing for the entrance examination to that university.So during this year's summer vacation, Luo Zhi often complained to Yu Jinglan, "That girl Shuiguang doesn't see anyone all day long, so why should she be so busy?"

Jing Lan just put down the book in her hand, her eyes were slightly dimmed, and some light glinted lightly from the bottom of her eyes.

Xiao Shuiguang's third year of high school was like fighting a war, she walked step by step towards the goal close to him, even if he couldn't see it, even if he didn't care.

In June 2006, Shuiguang worked hard and wrote hard. After the last exam, he walked out of the exam room and looked up at the hot sun outside.

She took out her mobile phone and called Yu Jinglan for the first time.

It was picked up after two rings over there, and a quiet voice came, and he said, "Shui Guang."

At that moment, Shui Guang felt his eyes were red and moist.

"Yu Jinglan, I've finished the exam."

"Ok, I know."

"Can I...can you apply to your school?"

After stopping there for a long time, he said softly, "I'll wait for you."

Yu Jinglan passed away in the summer of 2006. On the plane back to Xi'an, the air accident in June 2006 was reported in newspapers and news, and finally the relevant departments classified it as an accident.

"Accident".

Xiao Shuiguang looked at those four words, those four words made that clean, quiet and gentle person, Yu Jinglan who she had missed for so many years, never come back again.

Shui Guang sat on the edge of the bed and had no sleep that night.

In the compound that night, no one fell asleep.

In September 2006, Xiao Shuiguang arrived at this northern university. She looked up at the sky he had seen and said, "Yu Jinglan, you said you would wait for me, so I came. I kept my promise, but You don't."

Shuiguang is an outstanding girl, even in this university full of talents, she is great.Her grades have always been excellent, she is good at many things, she knows martial arts beautifully, she even sings beautifully.So Xiao Shuiguang had many suitors, but she rejected them all.According to Xiao Shuiguang's roommate, Shuiguang has someone he likes, and he is also from our school.Shuiguang sometimes writes letters to her boyfriend.

In 2007, Shuiguang raised a shepherd dog named Edward. With the consent of the dormitory teacher, he usually kept it in the cubicle on the ground floor of the dormitory.The roommates all like Edward, and they prepare more food for him than their own. They take him out for a walk when they find time, so that the boring college life is not so boring.

In the spring of 2008, the self-awareness of Shuiguang became worse and worse.

She told herself, don't step on his footsteps, don't repeat "he is waiting for you", Xiao Shuiguang, no one is waiting for you, no one...

In fact, she would rather that he always be on top than that she should be so far away from him, so far away.

Shui Guang said, I set you free.

That day, Shuiguang received a call from Jingqin, in which Jingqin said: Among my brother's belongings, there is a letter for you, which is not considered a letter. My brother is in his book, it is a bookmark.

Water light:

The flowers on the Moshang bloom, and can return slowly.

Jing Lan.

Summer of 2005.

Shui Guang cried until he could not make a sound.

Zhang Zhenglan stood at the window, looking at the girl sitting on the long wooden chair she used to sit in the garden behind the university teaching building, crying heartbroken.
