Lu Zhu still remembers how he jumped for joy when he saw that familiar eyebrow horn in high school, as if a little animal was carefully scratching it with its claws.
As she wished, she returned to the boy's side, but this time she was no longer a childhood sweetheart, but a high school classmate.
At that time, they were playing and quarreling in class just like they did when they were children, listening to the boy's disgusting words of love, until she was too shy and pretended to pull the boy's ear.
How wonderful it would be if it was really written by him...
The girl blushed slightly, secretly glanced at the tall and handsome boy next to her, and thought to herself.
The days passed quickly, and the barriers caused by separation quickly collapsed in daily interactions, and even the little secrets she had hidden deep in her heart suddenly surfaced.
The first winter of the freshman year of high school arrived as promised, with the cold moon and snow falling in the north. It was the third year that the two of them had not spent the New Year together.
The monitor of the class reserved the venue in advance and invited all the students to have an all-night party.
Lu Zhu wanted to go, but was stopped by his parents who rarely came home.
The fireworks bloomed on time at midnight, and Jiang Li also called on time at twelve o'clock.
In fact, the girl was very surprised how the boy did it, because on New Year's Eve, the phone was always being dialed, and the outgoing messages had to circle around for a long time before they showed that they were successfully sent.
But it doesn't matter, she can just wait patiently, because the phone will always ring on time, just like the previous two years.
The girl's voice on the phone revealed joy and a little bit of embarrassment under the gaze of her parents.
"Hey...Jiang..." She hesitated because there was no gentle voice coming from the other side.
A moment later, after hearing the noise of the boy sending his sister away, he said, "Classmate Lu, it's New Year's Eve."
"yes…"
Lu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief at the glass with Wanjia's lights printed on it, and whispered: "I know you for one more year..."
The boy on the other end seemed to be pulled away by his classmates for a while, and he quickly asked: "Classmate Lu, just now the monitor asked me who I was calling, but I didn't hear..."
Through the screen, Lu Zhu could also hear the laughter and laughter of the classmates over there. There was inevitably a bit of envy and loneliness in her eyes. But the girl was very content and nodded again: "I say it's great..."
It's great to know you for another year...
Jiang Li on the other end smiled and said: "It would be good to have three days on New Year's Day."
…
The New Year's Eve night of my freshman year of high school was actually quite noisy.
Jiang Li specially chose a quiet room on the second floor of the villa for the party.
He stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, talking on the phone with a gentle look on his face. The villa was located in the suburbs by the river. There were no lights around, but he could see the lights floating in the steel city on the other side of the river, like fireflies floating in the night.
Someone was playing poker downstairs, and soon there were the howls of ghosts and wolves who lost their money in the dog bet. There was a girl singing in the KTV room next door, and her voice was pretty good, but not as beautiful as the one sang by classmate Lu, who was the art committee member of the class.
There are also young couples who have just been together cuddling in a place with few people, winking at them and then looking at each other and laughing.
"Is it snowing over there?" the girl whispered.
"You are so stupid. We are in the same city, so if you get offended over there, I will get offended over here."
The girl curled her lips and said uninterestedly: "It's so lively over there, the snow will melt before it falls..."
"Of course it's lively here. Almost everyone in the class is here except you. I brought Xiao Rong'er with me..." Jiang Li couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt that it wasn't very cold in the villa without heating.
There was heavy snow as beautiful as goose feathers outside, the surroundings were dark, and the lights were swallowed up in the surrounding snow. Young girls showed off their youthful vitality unscrupulously on the New Year's Eve.
The villa was full of people, the lights were bright, some were shouting, some were laughing. In the singing room, someone sang a love song that was inappropriate for their age at the top of their lungs. It was just one song, and the students cheered and clapped enthusiastically.
There was also the sound of knives chopping meat in the kitchen, and the attentive female classmates helped wrap the dumplings. After a while, the aroma wafted up.
"Come and eat dumplings!" the monitor ran up and down to inform every student.
Jiang Li stood on the second floor and could clearly see everything below through the floor-to-ceiling windows. He took a photo and sent it to the girl.
In the photo, some students were having a snowball fight with their mobile phones as lights, and a puppy was watching everything in the dog house curiously. He was probably wondering what was different about this cold winter night. Suddenly,
It became so lively that people were cheering and running around like crazy people.
Snowflakes fell on the shoulders of young girls and boys, and quickly melted into the boiling heat.
Lu Zhu saved the photo, and the girl's cute smiling face was reflected in front of the glass window.
What exactly did she and Jiang Li talk about that night?
It was too trivial and she was too stupid to remember it.
Obviously they were in the same city, and they had agreed to meet tomorrow, but at that moment I really wanted to go find him.
The boy asked her what she was doing tonight and where she was now.
The girl glanced at her parents with a smile, and snorted comfortably: "I'm staying with my parents. I'm wrapped in a small blanket at home, and it's not cold at all..."
The boy who was quietly talking on the phone at the end seemed to have been discovered by his classmates, who yelled and asked him if he was talking on the phone with his girlfriend.
Jiang Li smiled and said generously that it was her, and Lu Zhu immediately blushed.
"When will we drink your wedding wine?"
The students over there were teasing and asking ambiguous questions, and then they climaxed and then slowly returned to calm as the boy joked and said, "I will definitely invite you in the future."
"Classmate Lu, are you still there?"
The girl seemed to be stunned for a few seconds. She couldn't tell whether it was the fireworks outside the window that made her cheeks blush or the heating in the room that was too hot, making her mouth dry.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the young man leaned against the phone and listened quietly. He listened carefully and could only hear the sound of even breathing and the sound of the New Year's Day party on the TV.
As he fell asleep, Jiang Li laughed dumbly and said good night softly before hanging up the phone.
Lu Zhu only reacted when she heard the sound of the call being interrupted, but she was too embarrassed to disturb the boy again.
Although the family of three felt a little lonely in the huge room, the girl was still very happy as she watched the screen refreshed with photos of her classmates that the boy kept sending.
"I'm chatting with Jiang Li again..."
"When will the Jiang family brothers and sisters come over for a meal..."
In the background of the New Year's Day party, Lu Zhu could hear her parents whispering.
That winter night, with her parents' company and the boy's New Year's call, she suddenly felt that she was the happiest person in the world.
"Hey, classmate Jiang."
"I like you."
"It's been a long time."
She stood in front of the window and practiced. Only at this time was she the bravest.
She remembered what she said, and it still throbbed in her heart many years later on nights abroad.
After they separated for a long time, suddenly, I remembered the young man with the smile on his eyebrows.
