Xu Binwei's words brought me back to the summer more than ten years ago, that year, I was eight years old.

Every year during the holidays, I always spend some time with my grandfather in Haibin. During the summer vacation when I was eight years old, my mother sent me to Haibin as usual.

In that era, housing was still allocated by the unit according to professional titles and levels. Most of the yards were old cadres of the same age as my grandfather. There were very few young people living there, and there were few children of my age, so my playmates were very limited.

That year, a brother came to my grandfather’s neighbor, Grandpa Xu, who was a few years older than me and was much taller than me. At the age when I had not yet formed a clear aesthetic concept, I thought the brother of my neighbor was very good-looking. I couldn’t describe what he looked like, but I just thought he was much better than other boys I had seen. Of course, the game console he brought that I had never seen also added a lot of points to his charm value.

During that holiday, I was chasing the little tail behind him. Although I could probably guess from his expression that he didn't seem to like me so much, I still visited every day as always. His game console basically became my toy. Sometimes he couldn't resist my enthusiastic invitation and would put down the book in his hand and play a game with me.

Although I don’t have any ambitions now, my competitive spirit in my childhood was amazing. When playing games, if I win, I would say with great strength, that your things are not as good as me. If he wins, I would usually be reluctant to let go and continue playing until I win.

Sometimes he would lose after playing two or three games. At that time, I didn't understand. Now I knew that he should be giving in to me. Sometimes until the end I never beat him once, I would make trouble and even cry. At this time, Grandpa Xu would come over to educate him, saying why wouldn't you give in to your sister or something, and he would be tense and stare at me intently, but he would not defend anything.

Although my rogue behavior probably annoyed him back then, I have to say that he treats me very well. After all, he was already a little boy at that time, and the pocket money he had in his hands - I don't know if it's more or less, but he always had it. He took me to buy a lot of snacks at the convenience store in the yard, which was not very rare. They were all things that children liked in that year. Gloves such as jelly, watermelon bubble halls, sour plum powder, and more expensive things like potato chips, biscuits.

Because of this, even though he often has a bad face to me, I still like to play with him. Basically, I spent that summer vacation with him. At the end of August, I was about to start school and my mother took me back. Later, my mother committed suicide, and that year became the time I least wanted to recall.

After that, my grandfather refused to forgive my father because of his mother's death, and almost reached the point of being ruthless. I had not been to Haibin again for several years. It was not until I was fourteen that my relationship with my grandfather gradually eased, and I returned to Haibin again, but my neighbor, Grandpa Xu, had moved away, and I had never seen that brother again.

Who would have thought that Xu Binwei I met more than ten years later would be that little boy?

Xu Binwei's face was buried in my neck and said in a depressed voice: "I always remember you. When I came back from my junior year, I went to your grandfather's place when I came back. At that time, you were in middle school. He showed me your photos and said that you would definitely come to Haibin to go to college in the future. In a few years, he would have passed away. I really regret not asking for your contact information at that time, otherwise I would not have wasted so many years."

I heard a little dazed, which was really incredible, "Did you like me when you saw me when you were thirteen? But that's not right. If you say that, why would you have an old relationship with Yu Xinrui? Moreover, even if the concepts abroad are relatively open, thirteen years old... can barely be considered to have entered puberty, but... you are too precocious." This is still too incredible, a bit beyond my acceptance.

Xu Binwei finally let me go a little, knocked on my forehead, his face unhappy, and said, "How is that possible? You were just a chubby silly girl at that time, you knew you were pestering me to play games and buy snacks. You were so angry that you were so naughty... "

"Then what does it mean to mention the past to me?" Seeing me frowning in dissatisfaction, Xu Binwei paused, but couldn't help laughing, and said gently: "Although it was not liked or not at that time, I think my feelings for you should have sprouted from that time. Over the years, even if I didn't see you again, I inexplicably broke out one day. As for Yu Xinrui and I, it was because of the time when we were in love with her that I truly confirmed what kind of feelings I had for you."

Xu Binwei told me that he had always felt that he was just a simple memory of that past, and he couldn't believe that the young me would leave such a brilliant stroke in his heart. Later, when I got the photo of my teenage years, he even thought that it was a miracle that such a fat girl was so graceful.

He never thought about the reason why he had never had a girlfriend, but that it seemed that no girl could see. Until he was twenty-three years old, some people began to doubt his sexual orientation, and even his father asked him indirectly what he thought about homosexuality. At that time, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have to find a woman to have a relationship.

Yu Xinrui happened to enter his life at that time, and it seemed so natural that the two of them got together.

Once, Yu Xinrui saw a photo of me when I was in his room. It was the first time he mentioned me in front of Yu Xinrui, but then he was out of control. Finally, Yu Xinrui broke out when he mentioned going back to China to see me, and asked him loudly if he liked the girl in the photo.

At that time, Xu Binwei did not admit it or deny it. He was actually shocked by this idea. He had no time to react for a while, and Yu Xinrui began to have a cold war with him. During that period, Xiao Yun proposed to him for his proposal to return to China to develop. His first idea was to return to the seaside. When he found that his grandfather had passed away and he was likely to never find me again, he finally realized that my meaning to him was not as simple as a young man's beautiful memory.
