Time flies, eyebrows become books

The phone rang, and it was Reiko on the screen. I wondered why she would suddenly call me.

"Hello, Wen Ling." The tone was polite and distant. The last quarrel made me somewhat embarrassed.

"Yu Sheng, are you and Ziqi together?" My eardrums were almost pierced, and the image of her trembling with laughter was quickly implanted into my brain through the voice.

"Ah, what?" I was like a fugitive who had been caught, wanting to deny it but had nowhere to escape, instinctively pretending to be stupid.

"Ah, you bastard, why are you pretending to be stupid? Tell me quickly." She was not polite, her uncontrollable excitement completely exposed her natural attributes.

"What are you talking about?" I continued to play dumb.

"Well, don't tell me, right? Ziqi told me anyway, so forget it if you don't want to know how he feels." She said a harsh word, and I was immediately defeated and surrendered obediently, "Did he say it? What did he say?"

Immediately there was a smirk on the other end of the phone, "Just tonight, we will meet at XX at 06:30, you must come." After speaking, he put down the phone proudly, leaving only a busy signal.

I went to the appointment on time, but she couldn't wait to wait at the door. After a simple greeting, she dragged me in, quickly locked a quiet corner, and didn't allow me to react, and ordered dinner in threes and fives.Seeing her anxious look, I couldn't help but want to tease her, "Are you rushing to reincarnate? You're in a hurry."

"What's wrong with the world, the emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuchs." As soon as the words came out, she immediately realized that the metaphor was inappropriate, and laughed dryly.

"Tell me, what do you want to do with me?" I guessed what she was going to talk about, but I still put on a face of refusing to admit it.

"What's the matter with you and Ziqi?" She raised her eyebrows as she spoke, just as the waiter next to me brought up the food, I was so scared that I choked out the water I was about to swallow, and I looked embarrassed.

"What are you yelling about?" I protested in a low voice as soon as the waiter turned around.

"Oh, you also have times when you are in a hurry. Okay, I won't yell, you hurry up and ask for it."

I couldn't hold back the soft and hard things, and she did know the truth, so I recruited.I lightly talked about the situation since my illness, plus that kiss, that kiss is really nothing to talk about, because it is just superficial.The sudden kiss left each other at a loss.I remember that he scratched his hair in a panic, said "it's so hot", and rushed to the toilet to take a shower.Originally mustering up the courage to find out, seeing him in such a mess, I had no choice but to give up and sleep all night.Before dawn the next day, he packed his things and went out.That night, he didn't come back.I didn’t come back on the second day. On the third day, I couldn’t help but sent him a text message, asking if he wanted to come back, saying that I made delicious food, and I couldn’t finish it all by myself.In the end, it took him a long time to reply to the message saying that he had been working night shift recently and couldn't come over.I knew what he said was not true, but I couldn't stalk him, so I had to give up.Later, I thought over and over again what happened that night and his reaction afterwards, and finally came to the conclusion that everything was a misunderstanding.

Reiko listened attentively, gritted her teeth, couldn't help but want to interrupt many times, and finally waited for me to finish speaking, and immediately blasted, "I'm dizzy, you two are acting on TV? You made such a big deal about sesame and mung beans. .”

"It's easy for you to say, let you like a girl, or the young one, what do you do?" I think she doesn't hurt her back when she talks standing up.

She didn't want to pay attention to my assumption at all, but directly asked a question that I had never thought about, "If I said that Ziqi has liked you for a long time, what would you do?"

I made a mistake, and started to struggle with the word "if". Seeing that I didn't respond, she looked clear, "I'll just say you guys are stupid, you only do everything when everything is ready, and you wait until the day lily It's all cold."

From Reiko, I learned a lot of news that surprised and excited me.She mentioned Chengcheng first, and reaffirmed that Chengcheng and Ziqi had no relationship as lovers.She said that when Ziqi first entered university, Chengcheng was still chasing after her, often writing letters or making phone calls. Ziqi matured late and didn't have much interest in her, but there was always a girl who was persistent and willing to throw an olive branch. will also be affected.He was afraid that Chengcheng would keep contacting him and waste his studies, so he gave her some guidance and suggestions for her review. In fact, it was just an unintentional move, but it strengthened Chengcheng's confidence. He didn't expect her to come here too.

According to Lingzi, when Chengcheng first arrived, Ziqi was struggling.He didn't want to date her, but he didn't completely refuse.Chengcheng ran all the way to his campus whenever he had time, seeing her alone as a girl, somewhat unbearable, so as long as he didn't make things difficult, Ziqi would go out with her, but he never made it clear. Nor did she formally introduce her to friends.Gradually, Chengcheng has acquiesced that their relationship is extraordinary, so he always looks for opportunities to inquire about his friends and classmates, and also hints that he wants to meet his friends and get together.It's not that Ziqi didn't understand what she meant, it was just that he was struggling in his heart at the time, so he couldn't make up his mind.

I asked Reiko what he was hesitating at that time, and she said that she was in her sophomore year when she figured things out.On a Sunday in the second semester of my sophomore year, Ziqi suddenly asked Lingzi out for dinner, and he was depressed throughout the meal. Lingzi naturally knew that he was unhappy, but she couldn't get a clear answer when she asked, and in the end it was Lingzi's aggressive pursuit Next, Ziqi said it was because Chengcheng went to his dormitory to give gifts without authorization the day before.Reiko knew that Chengcheng had gone to his dormitory to contact him once or twice. He had heard Ziqi complain before, but he was never really angry, but this time it seemed to be different. He said that the person he cared about saw yesterday, probably It was a misunderstanding.Reiko thinks she has a lot of experience, saying that she saw the clues when she was a freshman, and guessed that Ziqi had someone in mind, but every time he talked about related topics, he deliberately avoided, and Reiko had to give up.He didn't expect to take the initiative to confide in himself this time, which shows that it is really difficult for him to relieve his worries.

Reiko encourages him to chase after him if he likes it, and if he can't catch him, he won't lose a piece of meat, not to mention that with his conditions, the possibility of not being able to catch up is very small.But Ziqi said that this person cannot be chased, and he should never be able to chase him. If he chases him, he will really lose a piece of meat, because he is a young man, and if he can't handle it well, he won't be able to get along with him.Reiko's first reaction was me. We had met each other a long time ago. Although we were not close friends, she often heard Ziqi mention it, and knew that we were friends and had a good relationship.

Reiko asked him if the crux of the problem was me, and he admitted.He said that the first time he realized the difference in relationship was when we took the train back together during the winter vacation of the freshman year. At that time, we shared a bed together, and the atmosphere was very ambiguous.He said that he had never thought about it before. Physical contact between boys is normal, but at the time he just felt awkward and nervous.Because of this matter, he also checked a lot of information, and he also watched a lot of film and television works.He considers himself not a pedantic person, and he also understands medical and health knowledge, but what makes him unable to overcome is our friendship for so many years. He can't try it like a stranger, not to mention that he was not so open at that time. There are many scruples.This is also why his attitude towards Chengcheng is not frank enough, and he is a bit eager to refuse and welcome.Because he also tried hard to like a girl, to touch their soft bodies, to touch their soft hair, to live an ordinary life.But the more you think about it, the more futile it seems.Not only did his attempt fail, but it also made him more sensitive to my reactions. He wanted to prevent any communication between Chengcheng and me, but his secret thoughts were revealed without a doubt.In the end, unable to deceive himself and others, he accepted it frankly, and flatly rejected Chengcheng.

Listening to Reiko's tone, she doesn't appreciate Chengcheng, and even thinks that she has complicated thoughts.Although Ziqi has expressed her attitude, she still refuses to give up. Even as a friend, she still hopes to associate with Ziqi.Once, she went to find Ziqi when she was sick, but Ziqi dragged her to the hospital, but she refused to go, but asked Ziqi to buy her medicine, and decided to live in a hotel off campus without authorization. Because of fever, Ziqi was in a dilemma, In addition, Chengcheng cried and asked him not to leave, so Ziqi had no choice but to stay and live in a double room.The next morning, she asked her roommate who came with her to have dinner together. Her roommate was here to date her boyfriend, and she also lived in this hotel. The boyfriend of the other party happened to be a classmate of the same major as Ziqi. They were dragged out to meet each other, so the rumors about their relationship became more and more true.Because of this, Ziqi became even more distant from her, and even wanted to change her phone number, but because the number was tied to a lot of information, it would be inconvenient to change, so she put it on hold for now.

Reiko said that she got angry with me that time because she knew the secret.Ziqi is because I have alienated Chengcheng, but I did not expect that Chengcheng and I would have a heated fight, and rumors spread everywhere.During that time, he was still doing things and studying as before, but his mental state was obviously not good. In Reiko's words, he was "death to save face and suffer."Even though the bottom of my heart has already flowed into rivers of blood, the surface is calm and breezy.

I can't imagine how he survived, after all, he never complained to me from the beginning to the end.Later, when I needed him, he still stood up.I think the relationship between us cannot be simply classified as love. After all, love includes jealousy, suspicion, hatred and even destruction, and all these are diluted by the loyalty between us.

I'm not sure if Lingzi's narration is embellished or not. After all, there are some discrepancies with Chengcheng's narration, but all this is not important. After all, I want to hear Ziqi's thoughts, as long as he said Yes, I think I'll believe it all.
