Mingren don't talk about secret love

Before the New Year, Xia Jiujia's grandmother in her 70s sewed a set of clothes for Xia Jiujia herself.Xia Jiujia's financial conditions were quite poor when he was a child, and his grandmother was always directly responsible for his "style".The old lady was a female worker in a garment factory decades ago, and she always used her sewing machine with her hands.

This year my aunt returned to cc, and she wanted to take her grandparents to a nearby city to see the rime on the river.The second and third grades of R Middle School only have one and a half days off, and Xia Jiujia couldn't follow her, so she changed it to visit her grandparents in advance.

Grandma took out the suit and told Xia Jiujia to put it on.

It is dark green with patterns of peony flowers falling on it.The sleeves and trousers are straight up and down, but the cuffs and trousers are wide open.

In fact, Xia Jiujia has grown up a long time ago, but his grandma doesn't understand the situation. She always feels that Shiliu Qi's grandson is still a child. They will compare with each other, and still make clothes according to their own aesthetics.

She said: "It's beautiful! It's so beautiful!"

Xia Jiujia naturally followed the other party's speech.

Grandma asked again: "Are there any plans for the New Year?"

Xia Jiujia said: "School No. 31 has a party in the morning, and it is a holiday in the afternoon. On the 1st, I will rest all day. I will stay at school, or maybe go to my deskmate's house. On the 2nd, I will go to class.

"Okay." Grandma smiled, and patted Xia Jiujia's clothes, "I'll wear this to the party, it looks good and looks good."

"Yes." Xia Jiujia agreed.

…………

On New Year's Day in 2019, Xia Jiujia was even more lonely than those two days in 2018.Dad went abroad as usual, with a tour group, and grandparents also left CC. As for grandparents, under the rule of "only two visits a year", they can't see each other.

Fortunately, this year the school has a party.

R does not do this thing every year. It is said that high school can only catch up once every three years. After all, the party is just for fun, but the students have to spend time arranging the program, which is not worth it.

The form of the party is also very simple - everyone arranges the inside and outside of the classroom, writes "Happy New Year's Day" on the blackboard, hangs some ribbons on the light tubes, sticks some balloons on the walls, forms two circles of tables and chairs, and buys a few pockets of snacks and drinks It is not new for everyone to take turns to perform.

Xia Jiujia really went to school in clothes made by her grandma.

In the morning, he actually thought a little bit about "what to wear today", and finally chose that outfit.First, he promised his grandma, and he has always been proud, upright and open, never doing one thing to the face and another to the back, as long as he said "OK", he would do it.Secondly, maybe because there is no family to spend the holidays with, for the two days of the 31st and 1st, he instinctively hopes to have something that symbolizes family affection to accompany him all the time.Thirdly, maybe beauty is in the eyes of beholders, and designers are in the eyes of relatives. Xia Jiujia didn't realize that the suit was very ugly, but she thought it was pretty good.

When Xia Jiujia arrived in the classroom, Shen Xi was not in the room.Xia Jiujia is not surprising either—Shen Xi is a king of spotting spots, always showing up 1 minute before various events.

He randomly found a place to sit down, and heard Shangguan Ling Xiao and other classmates chatting next to him.

The nympho Jiang Jie said: "My cousin works in Silicon Valley and is an engineer in a large company. Last week, I met a girl on a blind date. She looks good, but she has no education and is very poor. They chat and have a good impression of each other. This The first time I returned to China, I said good to see you, so I asked the other person what he liked, and he bought it back as a gift. In the end, the girl wanted Chanel Leboy! It was 6 to [-] yuan!"

"Of course not." Shangguan Ling Xiao sneered and said, "For this kind of person, I have to give him a good scolding, let her know that I have money but don't buy it. Mentally retarded, I can't even pretend to be a big fish for a long time." I don't understand." His character is to control the whole process.

Everyone agreed, but when Jiang Jie asked Xia Jiujia, Xia Jiujia said, "I don't know. I think I will buy it, and I will never contact you again."

Everyone was shocked: "Are you an idiot..."

Xia Jiujia said lightly: "I agreed, and said "I will mention it casually". I will not break the contract because it is different from what I imagined. I will maintain my demeanor and will not tear it up because of it. But I will make it clear after the meeting. Her personality is a bit... Well, the two are not very suitable, and I don’t want to get to know each other in depth. As for education or lessons, it has nothing to do with me, it’s just a blind date, and she won’t change her sex because of it. I don’t care if she knows how to play a long game, but I will Tell the introducer, let the introducer pay attention."

Xia Jiujia will not go back on what she promised, such as wearing a coat and trousers made by her grandmother.He has higher demands on himself than on others.

Students around: "..."

Brother Xia is terrible, five or sixty thousand, it's just for nothing.It seems that for Brother Xia, "carrying" is more important than anything else, even for people who will never be in touch again.

After a long while, Jiang Jie laughed twice: "It's fine, let her regret that she missed the local tyrant every time she uses it, and she is still a graceful local tyrant."

Soon someone else was seated, and the group of people around changed.

A girl suddenly noticed the clothes Xia Jiujia was wearing and pointed at them, "Wow, Xia Jiujia. My second grandma also has one of your clothes..."

This call finally made people notice the "clothes".

The dark green gauze jacket is very loose, with two peonies embroidered on it, one white and one pink, with a line of small characters written on it: "Only peonies are the real national color".The black trousers were also made of yarn and had peonies in them, which were totally different from Xia Jiujia's usual style.

A few boys who usually speak freely laughed: "Grandma Xia." "Hahahaha pretending to be an old lady." No matter how cold and cold Jiujia is, he is still a boy after all, so it is normal to be joked about.

Xia Jiujia was not very happy to be called ugly by her classmates, saying: "My grandma made it herself. I just wear it to school."

"Oh……"

Although she refuted it back, Xia Jiujia was still not very happy.

He made an excuse to go to the bathroom and stood in the corridor for a while.

Grandma has been doing it for a long time, hoping that she would wear it to school and let her classmates praise her "good-looking" and "spiritual", but she was publicly ridiculed.

He couldn't describe this feeling well.In fact, it is just a small matter, a small matter as big as a grain of rice. However, he has been very independent these years, and rarely feels the care, care, and patience of his family members.Therefore, for these fabrics and embroidery, he wanted to cherish them, and he did not want to let them down, but he was called ugly, and he couldn't help but feel bad.

It happened that Shen Xi came staggeringly from the entrance of the corridor.Seeing Xia Jiujia, he wondered, "Dongbao?"

Xia Jiujia cleared up her mood, no different from usual, and said, "Shen Xi."

Shen Xi only watched it for two or three seconds, then suddenly said: "What happened?"

"……Um?"

"you are not happy."

"..."

Shen Xi looked Xia Jiujia up and down for a moment, the corners of his lips suddenly curved, and said, "Dong Bao, you look really good in what you're wearing today."

Xia Jiujia looked up in surprise and looked at Shen Xi opposite.

"Really," Shen Xi's voice was very soft, "the more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes. It's back to basics, it's very different from other people."

"..."

"Anyway, it looks good." Shen Xi said, "My aesthetics are generally recognized."

Xia Jiujia smiled lightly: "Virtue..." He didn't realize that this was an extremely intimate reproach.

"Oh."

Xia Jiujia lowered her head to think about it, and said, "Shen Xi, thank you."

"fine."

Knowing that Shen Xi was waiting, Xia Jiujia calmed down and began to explain: "Grandma sewed this set of clothes by herself. She told her to wear them to school. She said they were beautiful and energetic. I also don't want to let her down. I won't use them even once. Let her It's a waste of work. Besides, this year's New Year...I won't see any relatives, so I think it's good to bring something." Besides, he didn't think it was ugly.

"It's okay," Shen Xi said, "we will wear this when we go out to play in the future."

"……Um."

Seeing that it was almost time, the two returned to the classroom.

Shen Xi was careless, occupying a chair, looked at the group of classmates just now, and said, "I heard someone calling "Grandma Xia" and "Grandma Xia" over there just now, what's going on?"

"Hahahaha." Immediately, a short boy rushed to answer, "Xia Jiujia's clothes are very similar to those worn by our grandma. Dark green, big peony."

Shen Xi sneered: "Your clothes are very similar to those worn by Xia Jiujia's grandson."

Everyone: "..."

Shen Xi said again: "Okay. Since you call me grandpa, it's also right to call Xia Jiujia grandma."

The crowd is again: "..."

Xia Jiujia looked at Shen Xi's profile.

He knew that Shen Xi was "revenging" him.

It would be a lie to say he was untouched.It is said on the Internet that most men don’t even notice that other people have changed their clothes, but Shen Xi found out that his expression was wrong in two or three seconds, guessed the reason for his expression in two or three seconds, and then comforted and took revenge, more caring than himself .

All kinds of emotions are very turbulent.He couldn't recognize what it was.He wants it to be everything, and he wants it to be nothing, and it will be natural, because, miraculously, there is an emotion that is difficult to define, but when it comes, people will clearly realize that it has come.

Just thinking about it, the New Year's party officially started.

Shangguan Ling Xiao sang a pop song first.Someone boldly booed: "Squad leader, why don't you recite "Selected Works of Marx"?" Everyone got the meme and laughed.

Shangguan Lingxiao wanted to be an official, and he was able to memorize the anthology of Marx. Everyone knew about it, including the new students from the foreign class.

After singing, Shangguan Ling Xiao thought of a way to continue the program: "How about this, let's "pass the flowers by beating drums", I will knock on the table with my back to everyone, and when I stop..." Looking around for a moment, "Whose hand is this blackboard eraser passed on to?" Whoever is in the show will perform."

The words made the atmosphere very tense.

Now that it has been agreed, no one objected, and the drumming began.Shangguan Ling Xiao knocked, everyone in Class [-] seemed to be holding a hot potato, and quickly threw the blackboard eraser at the people next to them, and some girls even screamed.

Shen Xi arrived soon.

Shen Xi is different again, holding the blackboard eraser with ten fingers, flipping it over and over again, but not passing it on.

Amidst the knocking sound, everyone silently watched their Brother Shen throw a fit.

Finally, the knocking stopped, and Shen Xi got his wish and needed to perform.

He smiled, put his left hand on the table, swished, and jumped over the table very nimbly and easily.

He also didn't need a CD, leaning lightly on the podium, and sang a French song with a magnetic and pleasant voice.

However, in the midst of applause, Shen Xi did not end directly, but walked slowly to the side of the water dispenser, reached out to pick up a paper cup, picked up the scissors that Class [-] students used to decorate the classroom the day before, and put the cup Cut off the bottom to make the cup into a paper tube, "By the way, there is also a little program that comes with it... I will teach you how to make a firework tube."

Everyone stared wide-eyed.

Shen Xi took out a balloon from his trouser pocket, fastened the end where the person inflated to make it airtight, cut off the other end of the balloon, which is the "head" end, and discarded it with scissors, stretched the balloon open, and put it on On the side of the bottom of the paper cup, use tape to stick and fix it round and round: "...That's it, tie up one end of the balloon, tie the other end to the cup, and stick it."

Then he walked back to his seat, moved a few fingers, opened a paper box, grabbed a few handfuls of pink, small and thin recycled paper the size of a fingernail, and sprinkled it into the paper cup from the mouth of the cup.

Shen Xi looked inside the paper cup, and the voice dragged on a bit: "The principle of the fireworks tube is to use the air pressure to spray out the fireworks. There is some compressed air in the normal paper tube. Just turn on the switch to open the valve and put The confetti streamers are all sprayed out... Let's use balloons..."

He said, walked to a place one meter in front of Xia Jiujia and stood still, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pinched the tail tied under the balloon, pulled it lightly, opened a distance, and then let go, only to hear a "snap" , The balloon skin bounced back, and the air that had gathered in the balloon just now popped out all the confetti in the paper cup in front of it.

Xia Jiujia squinted his eyes, and saw the sky was full of flowers and rain.Pink flimsy confetti flew all over the sky, covering Xia Jiujia head and shoulders, like a tree of peach blossoms falling down.

Xia Jiujia stepped over the heavy peach petals, raised her head, and met Shen Xi's smiling eyes.

At this moment, Xia Jiujia suddenly felt that he fell in love with Shen Xi.

Textbooks say that quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, and his qualitative change is probably today.

Like is a process, love is an instant.

On New Year's Day last year, he realized that he had a crush on Shen Xi; on New Year's Day this year, he felt love for Shen Xi.

Two rare days of fragility and loneliness.
