Change your mind

On the day of the temple fair, when I went out to have a barbecue, my mother asked me again while putting on makeup whether I would go to watch the fireworks.

On the surface, I am as stable as an old dog, but in my heart I am envious.But now that the agreement has been made, we can only look forward to waiting for the end of the meal early to see if there is any chance to catch up with the end of the temple fair.

"Are you really not going?" My mother's insightful eyes swept over my face.

Without changing my face, I nodded calmly and said, "Well, have fun."

In fact, my barbecue meal was simply unsatisfactory.

It's not my friend's problem, nor is it the reason for the smell of barbecue, I know the problem is just me.

Sometimes I'm really stubborn and stubborn.

While gnawing on the barbecue in a bored manner, I chatted with my friend sitting opposite.

Speaking of this friend, the relationship is not very deep, just an ordinary friend.

After entering the third year of high school, I gradually lost contact with him, and I don't know why.

So I was a little surprised when he invited me out for BBQ.

I took a sip of beer and felt the unhappiness in my heart dissipate a little, "Aren't you going to the temple fair? This is the first time, right?"

My friend was holding a can of beer, as if he wanted to touch me, but before I could react, I moved the beer in my hand, my friend withdrew his hand again, took a big sip of beer, "I don't want to go."

Oh, it seems that I am not a fellow traveler, I still really want to go.

Time passed as the cups and plates on the table were messed up, and I didn't know when it was, I heard the people around me start to make a fuss, and many of them took out their mobile phones to watch.

"Here, the live broadcast of the fireworks show is about to begin." My friend raised his chin towards the TV behind me. I looked back and saw that it was really like this. This time the local TV station had a live broadcast of the whole process.

But... Watching live on TV and watching live are completely different things, okay!

I glanced hesitantly at the countdown on the TV, there were still 10 minutes, and it was too late to rush over now.

Thinking of this, I stood up and planned to say goodbye to my friends, and sneaked over to watch the fireworks.

Unexpectedly, my friend grabbed my arm and said, "Wait."

I looked at him puzzled, and my friend felt that sitting was inappropriate, so he stood up and said to me: "I have something I want to tell you for a long time, but I have been unable to say it."

"..."

Just kidding, this is certainly not the prelude to a confession.

My friend is a straight man of steel, and he has always liked girls.

I thought he needed my help with chasing girls, so I let him make a long story short, after all, I was really eager to watch the fireworks.

My friend’s eyes dodged, and he didn’t dare to look at me anymore when he spoke, he said slowly: “Didn’t I chase a girl when I was a sophomore in high school, but I couldn’t get it, and then I found out that she likes Zhang Yang. "

"Huh? Who are you talking about?" I didn't respond.

"Zhang Yang is the Zhang Yang you liked in high school." My friend explained it again, and I added in my heart that I actually like it very much now.

"so what?"

"At that time, I was also overwhelmed by emotions, so I found Zhang Yang and told him to keep him away from that girl, and what's more, I threatened Zhang Yang with you."

"..."

"I told him that as long as I don't reject the girl, I will tell the teacher about it."

"……when?"

"When I was in the third year of high school, I thought I was really stupid. Zhang Yang has always liked you the most. Even if I didn't do that, he would refuse without hesitation." The voice of the boy in front of him became lower and lower. , his head was about to drop to his chest, his voice suddenly raised his voice, "So, I'm very sorry to you and Zhang Yang!"

"What's the use of saying sorry?"

Probably because I spoke too fast, the boy didn't hear clearly for a while, "Huh?"

"I said." I followed with my fist raised, and punched the boy on the right cheek. The boy groaned before he could react, and then he punched me on the left cheek again. Fortunately, it was symmetrical this time.

"It's fucking useless to say I'm sorry now!" I couldn't help but swear, since I went to college, I rarely lose my temper.

"..."

The boy lowered his hands, not daring to refute anything.

I raised my foot and wanted to kick it again. At this time, there was a sound of fireworks exploding from the TV, and there were cheers from many people.

"get out."

I dropped this sentence, turned around and ran towards the temple fair.

How could things be like this?

"Zhang Yang has always liked you the most."

really?

If this is the case, then what is the unrequited love I have been flaunting?

The river wind blew my clothes, I squeezed through the crowd and ran forward aimlessly.

A voice in my heart told me with certainty that Zhang Yang was still waiting for me somewhere.

Crowds were bustling and there were hordes of people everywhere.

Although the lights are bright, how easy is it to find someone in the dark?

My pace gradually slowed down, and I began to feel a sense of helplessness, that kind of insecurity from the bottom of my heart. The last time was when I lost my father.

Could it be that I can't catch up with Zhang Yang this time?

The phone vibrated in my pocket. It was my mother who called. When she heard my first sentence, she was a little crying, and she sighed helplessly.

"I originally asked you to confess to each other, but I didn't expect you two to be really anxious. Let me just say that, on the day Zhang Yang came home, he came out with his mother, and the next day Come to me and say I like you.

"From the beginning to the end, what he said was that he liked it first, and it had nothing to do with you. After all, I am also your mother. After all these years, I still don't know you? You two just like each other."

Tears streamed down my face as I grabbed the phone, I repeated: "Yes, we just like each other. But—"

"But what is it!" My mother's voice sounded resentful, "Go to Jiangxin Park and show the shameless aura your father used to have!"

With the encouragement of my mother, I seem to have a backbone.

Everything started with a bloody relationship, let it come to a happy ending today.

I wiped away my tears, and felt breathless that when Jiangxin Park was opened, the vendors there had already started picking up lanterns to close their stalls.

As I walked through it, I looked around for Zhang Yang's shadow.

The phone in my hand vibrated again. It was a WeChat message from Zhang Yang's girlfriend Man Mengyu. This was the last time Zhang Yang forced me to add it.

I remembered it for a long time.

[Oh, come to Jiangxin Park, that idiot Zhang Yang is still waiting for you there.He is also really, since the day he saw you hooking up with a boy behind his back, he has been crazy.I'm going to confess to you today, but I won't hint anything to you.Also, I'm not Zhang Yang's girlfriend at all.I admit that when he entered school, I still had a crush on this junior, but after chasing him, he told me that there was someone he liked and rejected me.At that time, I thought he was just making excuses casually, but later I gradually learned about your existence from his mouth.I encouraged him to pursue it boldly, it's not high school anymore, so it doesn't matter what other people think!Then I figured out how to find you with him, and found an excuse for my girlfriend to cheat.Speaking of which, this idea is super bad!And don’t take that chat record seriously, it’s all made up by us! PS. In fact, I have never seen the photo of Zhang Yang and you, except for the talk in the space. ]

When I saw this, I was speechless.

With a ding dong, another message came.

[Let go!Don't be like Zhang Yang's big man and little coward!By the way, my "lover" and I have prepared a small gift for you, hehe. ]

Man Mengyu is very reliable in doing things, and even sent me a location.

As the pointer gets closer to the destination, my heart beats faster.

When he walked under a ginkgo tree by the river, Zhang Yang was sitting on the long chair.

The back figure looked a little lonely, but he still sat there seriously and waited.

Just like seeing him for the first time, my face was hot and my heart was about to jump out.

I walked over slowly and said, "Tell me anyway."

Zhang Yang's body paused, he turned his head very happily, stood up and hugged me.

"I……"

"The two of us are cowards, and we both hide and dare not say anything." When I thought of the two years I missed, I couldn't help feeling sour.

"Now, now it's all right." Zhang Yang frantically wiped away my tears, patted my back to comfort me, and finally made his own tears spin around.

I couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you crying?"

Zhang Yang also laughed through his tears, and asked me, "Why are you crying?"

"It's too stupid to cry for you, and it's too naive to cry for me." I said.

Zhang Yang pressed my shoulder and stared at my eyes very seriously: "Smile, laughing is the best."

"You have done everything for me, so what else should I do?" I felt sorry for Zhang Yang, he stopped him alone when he could do things that could be undertaken by two people.

When Zhang Yang heard my question, he smiled brightly, and he replied: "It's good that you like me." After speaking, he muttered in a low voice, "Although life is not very good, that's all."

I wanted to answer, but a loud noise interrupted me.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

"Ah, bad!"

"Let's go, let's go."

The voice was accompanied by a "swoosh", the night sky was lit up, and a firework dyed the night.

I poked Zhang Yang's waist and said, "Bend a little."

Zhang Yang bent over obediently, and I took the opportunity to raise my head and kiss her.

From the first year of high school to the sophomore year, Zhang Yang and I were finally together.

=END=

The author has something to say: just to mention something that was not mentioned in the main text, Zhang Yang actually repeated the grade for a year, so when Huang Chu was a sophomore, Zhang Yang, who had just graduated, went to see Huang Chu, but at that time he was not careful. I ran into Huang Chu who was training his younger brother, so I misunderstood.

Later, he found out that it wasn't so, so he went back to his old business to catch up with Huang Chu, but came up with a bad idea.The story begins.
