Chapter 25 Termination (1)
In the new class, I re-acquainted with a new friend - a little girl named Jing Yonghui, the representative of the English class.From the appearance, the feeling exuded by the whole person can only be described as "docile". Even the row of eyebrow-level bangs on the forehead and the low curly hair on the back of the head make the girl's personality absolutely extremely gentle, but those eyes But with an inexplicable sense of agility.

In fact, many people will be deceived by her quiet appearance when they see her for the first time, and they will regret it after a long time of contact: "This guy is simply a complete bastard!"

It wasn't Jiang Wei who took the initiative to talk to her. Jiang Wei was as solitary as before, rarely talked, didn't have much contact with the classmates in the class, and didn't pay much attention to the people in the class.The first time I talked to Jing Yonghui was when I passed by my classroom and was about to go downstairs. The other party stopped her in the classroom: "Hey, Jiang Wei, wait a minute! This is your homework book!"

Jiang Wei who stopped in his tracks looked back, and what jumped into his pupils was a girl's face that could be described as "docile".Jiang Wei remembered that she was in the same class as him, but he couldn't remember the name of the other party: "Thank you...you are?"

Fortunately, the surprise in the other party's eyes only slipped for less than 0.1 second, and then he laughed and took the initiative to help her out: "I am Jing Yonghui, the representative of the English class. You forgot to take your English homework book. I happened to see you. I'll stop you."

Jiang Wei took the homework from the girl.

English class rep?Although the texts are read every morning, people who are not familiar with him will never leave a deep impression on Jiang Wei's mind.

"You are a classmate who has returned to school. You must have forgotten a lot of knowledge in the second year of high school. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. Of course, it is only limited to English. I am a mess in other subjects, but if you come to ask me It's a relationship." The girl showed a big smile and her eyes were full of sincerity, but Jiang Wei still felt a little uncomfortable with such an inexplicable overture.

"Well, thank you." Jiang Wei smiled at her while holding an English homework book that was actually not important to him, then turned and left.

At that time, Jiang Wei never imagined that such a girl who "will never leave a deep impression on her mind" would one day replace Zhao Mengfan's original position and enter her life.

Since the "job book incident", Jing Yonghui suddenly became inexplicably enthusiastic about Jiang Wei, and she sticks to Jiang Wei no matter when and where.This kind of relationship, which is as sticky as brown sugar and can't be shaken off, makes Jiang Wei feel very baffled.

"Xiao Wei, come with me to the bathroom, okay?"

"Why do you want me to accompany you?"

"Because I like you!"

"..."

"I heard that there is a new restaurant opened in front of the school. The food in it is super delicious and the price is very suitable for students. Xiao Wei, come with me! I invite you to eat."

"I have something to do after school."

"Go, go! If you don't go, I don't want to go either."

"..."

The inexplicable strike-up and inexplicable acquaintance made Jiang Wei also baffled.She didn't even understand why she had to go to the toilet, go shopping, go shopping with a girl she knew she didn't know well, and was even invited to play at her house...

Every time the word of refusal came to his lips, but with the twinkling eyes of Shangjing Yonghui, Jiang Wei lost his mind inexplicably: "Okay."

So much so that she didn't go home with Yu Xinye after school for a whole few days. Either she was dragged by Jing Yonghui and accompanied her for a full cycle of five streets and four alleys, just to buy a favorite bracelet at a street stall, or She tricked her across half of the city to eat a bowl of inexplicable Mala Tang.

It's really...inexplicable.

However, what really improved the relationship between Jiang Wei and Jing Yonghui was another thing.

One night, the weather forecast after the evening news said that the sun will rise today and the temperature will be about 25 degrees Celsius.

Jing Yonghui, who was still clapping her hands and saying, "The sun is finally out, I'm almost freezing to death", even wore thin and light spring clothes before going out early in the morning.

As a result, after sitting in the classroom shivering and sneezing three times, Jing Yonghui finally understood the truth that "weather forecasts are absolutely deceiving".

Jiang Wei at the front desk was also dressed very thinly like himself, with a thin light gray coat over his white shirt, which was not much thicker than himself.

Could it be that he has the same illness as himself?

Thinking of this, Jing Yonghui leaned forward slightly, and patted the girl on the shoulder.Seeing Jiang Wei turn around, the girl showed a sincere and friendly smile: "Xiaowei Xiaowei, did you also read yesterday's weather forecast?"

"Huh?" What responded to her was a dazed and inexplicable face.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Jiang Wei finally defined Jing Yonghui as "a nonsensical comedian with no brains, heart and lungs" and "a person who came from Mars".

But it was also from this incident that Jiang Wei no longer refused Jing Yonghui's invitation, but gradually began to adapt to Jing Yonghui's various sudden shocks.Although Jing Yonghui is thoughtless, always loses everything, and is always called a "two piece" by her classmates, but she always looks heartless and heartless. She is very popular and makes people I think it's cute, and I can't hate it at all.

It was a rare day when Jing Yonghui had to go back after school because of something at home, which gave Jiang Wei a chance to escape.Before leaving, Jing Yonghui stood at the school gate hugging Jiang Wei and said sadly, "Woooooooo, Xiaowei, I can't drink milk tea with you today, don't be too sad."

The students entering and leaving the school all cast puzzled eyes at the pair of girls hugging each other who looked like "lily love" at the door.

"Hurry up and go." Jiang Wei almost wanted to cover his face.

What a shame.

Although he used a very disgusting tone, but for some reason, there was an indescribable... happy feeling in his heart?

It's like a... feeling of being needed.

That's right.

It's the feeling of being needed.

She is Jing Yonghui, but she is very similar to Zhao Mengfan in a certain way, or she is also very similar to Yu Xinye in a certain way.It was such a feeling of "similarity" that made Jiang Wei have a good impression of her inexplicably, and no longer rejected her like he rejected others.

Looking at Jing Yonghui who had gone away but was still waving at him, Yu Xinye who was standing beside Jiang Wei asked, "A new friend?"

"Ah."

"That's good, too. You should make more friends." The boy smiled, "You can't always live in a world where there is only Zhao Mengfan."

"I know." Apparently Jiang Wei didn't want to continue this topic.Yu Xinye could tell, so he turned his attention to other things: "Hey, why are you wearing so little clothes today? It's quite cold today."

Jiang Wei looked down at his clothes, a white shirt and a thin jacket, the jacket was still unzipped, he didn't know what to answer.At this moment, the girl suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said casually: "Oh, it's probably because I read the weather forecast yesterday."

"Huh?" It really was a confused expression.

Jiang Wei almost laughed.

"No, let's go."

The sky was cloudless.

When I raised my head to look at the sky, my eyes hurt so much that I couldn’t open them. It was blue from light to light gray, like a certain color that was adjusted when I was painting in an afternoon.

Life is so quiet that you can hear the sound of flowers blooming.

If time can always be so quiet...

The memories about Zhao Mengfan, Xia Shuo and Qi Xian have already stopped in time.Those beautiful memories are like a fairy tale wrapped in green light, gently existing in Jiang Wei's heart.

It's like the bicycle Yu Xinye used to drive her through the streets when she was 17 years old.

Then life continued like this, and although he was able to see each other every day again, Jiang Wei would still dream of Yu Xinye countless times.

In the latest dream, Yu Xinye was standing not far away, wearing a clean white shirt and dark trousers, leaning against a huge sweet-scented osmanthus tree, with spots of light and petals falling on the tip of his hair.

He looked around, as if looking for something.Finally, Yu Xinye's eyes fell on Jiang Wei.He was startled for a moment, and then a warm smile passed along his line of sight.

Jiang Wei stood where he was, looking at him.

A long distance away.

The one-year suspension of school does not seem to have much impact on Jiang Wei's future life. In contrast, everything seems to be back to the beginning.Without Xie Yayi, without Qi Xian, not even Xia Shuo, not a single person.Even though they are still in the same school, they don't have many chances to meet each other. Perhaps they don't even know that Jiang Wei has returned to school.There was only Yu Xinye who was pushing his bicycle and beckoning to him after school in winter, and the box of warm cantaloupe milk tea he handed over.

Most of the time, Jiang Wei and Yu Xinye go home together.Yu Xinye, who was in the third year of high school, had to ride a bicycle in order to catch up with time. Jiang Wei's family was also a little richer than before, so her mother also bought her a bicycle.The two rode bicycles to the intersection, waved goodbye, and left separately.

At other times, Jiang Wei is pestered by Jing Yonghui, and she will also be dragged to various group activities by her when she does not make up classes on weekends.Maybe it's because of Jing Yonghui, or maybe it's because Jiang Wei has changed. Jiang Wei has gradually been able to communicate naturally with others, and he is no longer as taciturn as before.Although most of the time he still looks indifferent, but at least——

Already have a lot of friends who can talk.

When school was over, Jiang Wei didn't go home directly, but stayed a little longer, planning to sketch by the school's football field.When Jiang Wei put down his drawing board and sat down on the edge of the lawn, he unexpectedly heard the sound of arguing from the stands above his head.

"It's been so long since school started, and you haven't accompanied me home once! Do you think of me as your girlfriend?"

"I've already told you that I have something to do, I want you to go back by yourself." The boy who answered seemed a little impatient, with a very indifferent voice, "Or you can go back with Zhao Mengfan."

"Is there something wrong?" The girl sneered, "What do you mean by 'something', do you mean going home with the elementary school girls in lower grades?"

The boy being questioned was silent for a while: "It's none of your business."

"What do you mean it's none of my business!" The girl's voice sounded a little annoyed, "Yu Xinye, figure it out, I'm your girlfriend!"

Jiang Wei was startled, and subconsciously sat up straight and looked up.

Sure enough, it was the boy I was most familiar with, and another face that was both unfamiliar and familiar.

The distance is a bit far, but I can still barely see the expression on the other person's face.The boy was facing him, no longer his usual hippie smile, but a serious expression with a serious face.

"Maybe I was too indecisive, and I accepted you so hastily back then." The boy said slowly and clearly, "I'm really sorry..."

"What do you mean?"

"As a person, I don't have any advantages, but I have a lot of disadvantages. I'm self-willed, jealous, not serious, I always like to tease girls, and I'm self-righteous. But I still want to make it clear to you."

"..."

"Probably you can also feel it. After dating for so long, I can't put my mind on you at all. Even if it's a normal date between couples, I always push back and forth."

"I've said so much..." The girl was silent for a while, "After all, do you want to break up with me?"

The boy didn't answer.

"who is it?"

When the girl asked him suddenly, the boy couldn't respond: "What?"

"Let me ask you, who is that girl?"

"You don't have to know."

"Heh..." The girl sneered, and there seemed to be a trembling tone in her voice.What happened next was because his back was facing Jiang Wei, so Jiang Wei didn't see it clearly. It seemed that the girl kicked the boy on the calf bone, "Yu Xinye, you scum!"

The boy didn't dodge, he was kicked solidly, and took two steps back.

"Today, I dumped you, not you!" After finishing speaking, the girl turned her head and ran away.

Yu Xinye lowered his head, bangs covering his brows, making Jiang Wei unable to see his expression clearly at this moment.

The boy stood there silently for a while, then prepared to leave.After walking two steps, he found Jiang Wei who had been sitting at the bottom of the steps.

Yu Xinye was caught off guard, and the moment his eyes met, Jiang Wei felt his shoulders stiffen.

The two looked at each other in silence.

The entire campus seems to be put into a huge ball of light called "Twilight", and everything is soaked in the silent warm yellow light, which is so quiet that it is unreal.

At that moment, something other than blood seeped into the heart, salty, sweet, bitter...all blended together.

It seems that something, at this moment, was blown by the wind and disturbed the original fixed posture.

Many things really need to be said by others to be believed, just like now.

Every sound, every expression, every tone, every smile, even though I have silently guessed which interpretation it belongs to thousands of times in my heart, I still long to hear the other party admit its meaning.

Jiang Wei didn't know which level of relationship she and Yu Xinye were defined in. Maybe she had made a lot of guesses in her heart, but when she really heard these words from Yu Xinye's mouth, An indescribable emotion of excitement and sadness surged out of his chest.

The expected touch, and the unexpected a little bit of sourness.

After staring at each other for a while, Jiang Wei suddenly lowered his eyes and showed an indescribable smile to himself, as if mocking himself or trying to cover up.

"I'll go first." After finishing speaking, she wanted to leave in a hurry.

The boy reacted suddenly, stepped forward two steps, and held her wrist.When Jiang Wei turned around, Yu Xinye could clearly see Jiang Wei's flushed face and flustered eyes.Jiang Wei's eyes were bright, as if something was spinning in them.

Yu Xinye hesitated for a while, looking at her uncertainly.Jiang Wei felt the scorching temperature on his wrist disappear in half in an instant: "Are you crying?"

"I do not have."

She raised her head expressionlessly and said stubbornly.The wind lifted her hair, and her slightly longer bangs were blown away, revealing Jiang Wei's smooth forehead.

The warm liquid dripped down her chin onto Yu Xinye's wrist.Yu Xinye was silent for a while as if he had been burned.

Jiang Wei repeated stubbornly: "I didn't cry."

"Okay, you didn't cry." Yu Xinye seemed relieved, and tightened his grip on Jiang Wei's wrist, "I just..."

"I understand." Jiang Wei said suddenly.

"Huh?" Yu Xinye was stunned.

"Actually, if you don't tell me, I understand."

A steady stream of tears flowed down, and it was hard to tell whether it was "moved" or "sad" and "bitter".But no matter how complicated the emotions were, the crying and choking in the voice, the hands covering the face, still couldn't cover up the pink on the girl's fair face.

I always knew.
