flower and pillow

He Pei told Cheng Biyun that one or two succulents died and their roots were rotten, so they had to dig out one by one and put them on paper towels to dry before processing. The others were also planted separately in disposable water cups or original plastic small flowerpot.

Going back to the southern sky is a blessing in disguise.

Cheng Biyun couldn't tell what it was like, looking at the few photos she sent over, the only word in his mind was "withered".

It's almost spring.

When she was a sophomore in high school, she seemed to have a sex change, she was silent, she read miscellaneous books or checked her mobile phone by herself, and no one paid attention to her.I was assigned a new liberal arts class and became an art student. I basically lost contact with my former classmates, and just had dinner with two old friends every morning.

In the art class, the strange hormones that she couldn't see or touch came into play again-another tomboy stared at her and started to test.But she stood firm, treated it with a cold face, pretended not to know anything, and felt a little scared in her heart-she was afraid that if she continued on this road, she would really not be able to turn back.

This tomboy is a veteran, but he is not very young, but he is well-known in the "circle" of the grade. Even friends who are acquainted with her have mentioned to her the anecdote that this person changed his girlfriend every week, and his tone was mysterious and full of guard.Cheng Biyun knew that this kind of gossip should be somewhat exaggerated, but it was also a bit shocking.

The new friend she made in the art class got close to this tomboy, and she couldn't avoid it. After getting along for a while, she realized that those rumors were true, and it didn't exceed two weeks. "Quan" is even more evasive, and just wants to run as far away as possible, and even wants to find a boyfriend to get rid of her—the tomboy's eyes on her have become more and more terrifying recently.

But she didn't find a boyfriend.

She found He Pei.

It was also a day that was approaching spring. At the end of February in the second semester of the second year of high school, the sun was shining in the corridor after the third class in the morning, and the students at the drinking fountain were coming and going, all still wearing cotton jackets.

She held her small cup with a milky yellow lid to pick up the water, and saw the familiar figure and long ponytail at a glance, as if the sun had shone into her eyes, and it was bright everywhere.She immediately said "ah" in her heart, ran over quickly and hugged her tightly from the back, happily: "Why did you come down? I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you to death." It seems that I have completely forgotten the end of the first year of high school. The indifference and rejection of the two.

The liberal arts classes are all on the second floor, and the science classes are on the upper floor. He Pei chose science.

He Pei still had a dull face, didn't struggle, and was a little cautious: "The water dispenser up there is out of water, come down and get it."

She gave up her seat after receiving it. Cheng Biyun was hugged warmly, so he had no choice but to let go of her to fetch water for himself. He was still very happy: "How is it now? Our class is boring, and no one can talk."

"Same. Both are studying."

Cheng Biyun took out his mobile phone, squinted his eyes with a smile: "Give me the mobile phone number."

So He Pei reported to her.

Then we had to separate, and the class bell was about to ring.

That night, Cheng Biyun started to huddle in the quilt and bombard her with text messages, with sweet words and cares like a baby, and after a few times of back and forth with her, he would say good night to each other, and fell asleep in a warm heart.

She wants to chase He Pei.

In order to hide from that tomboy, she needs a solid enough shield.

She knew that she would succeed, perhaps because she knew He Pei's vague sexual orientation, or she could vaguely feel He Pei's restraint and weirdness when facing her, which was always different from ordinary friends.

She spent more than two weeks with He Pei, and began to plan what gift to give her for her birthday in March, so she asked He Pei what she wanted.

He Pei's answer at that time made her forgetful mind unable to forget until now.

"Just copy a few words you like, nothing else is needed."

In the past, He Pei always praised her for her beautiful handwriting and chic charm, but Cheng Biyun only took it as a flattering joke.

The fog in her heart suddenly dissipated, as if she had an answer to everything.

He Pei likes her.

But she didn't have any deep feelings at this time, she just felt that her shield plan would definitely succeed, she was as happy as a bird flying on a branch, and immediately started preparing for "the 'big surprise' that would make He Pei cry." ——She is always good at this kind of romantic and touching trick.

She ordered a large dumpling pillow from the Internet, light blue, and bought a small square book with red hardcover and black paper. She wrote a sentence she liked on each page with a pencil, and the graphite reflected on it. On black paper, it is especially restrained and beautiful.During those days, she was reading and copying all the time in class, and she rarely seemed to be engaged in business.

The last one, a love letter.

Very delicate paper, I wrote several pages in an eloquent manner, and folded it into a thick envelope.

She wrote about the process of their acquaintance, frankly confessed her jealousy, frankly admitted that she had completely forgotten her, how happy to see her, frankly admitted that He Pei is her eternal harbor, no matter how crazy she is outside, she will return to her in the end Come--

You put my mind at ease.

The last end was very playful and domineering. She told her not to cut off her long ponytail. If she was too fleshy, go to lose weight, and tidy up her bangs so they don’t always be so messy. It looks like childish coquettishness.

Then he stuffed the envelope and the small book into the packing bag for the pillow, and took He Pei to his dormitory after school on the night of her birthday.

She was a little nervous and didn't know how He Pei would react, although she felt that she could probably be moved.

In that love letter, except for concealing her purpose of looking for her, everything else is true, there is not a single lie.

He Pei really reassured her.

After the lights were turned off, she received a rare proactive text message from He Pei, which only had five words.

"I'm crying, beast."

Cheng Biyun's heart was beating warmly.

She thought that everything would come to fruition in this way, and they would be able to be together without saying the shameful "I like you, let's be my girlfriend", but the next day He Pei returned her handwritten letter and entrusted someone to hand it to her .

I can't remember the specific content, but He Pei only remembers that when he saw it, his heart ached and his eyes were sore. It was something similar to "I'm not good enough for you, just be a spare tire", but it's not so straightforward, it's sincere and euphemistic It made her more and more uncomfortable.

She is soft-hearted, and she can't see anyone showing such an attitude, whether it's the tomboy in junior high school or He Pei, let alone she feels that she is not good enough for He Pei.

He Pei has good grades, works very hard and is very serious. She is better than her, who just wants to avoid pressure and be a "bad boy" all day long.

It’s just that she was still in her youth at that time, and what she never lacked was courage. She hid under the quilt and sent text messages with He Pei every night or wrote letters to fight during the day—other than that, she couldn’t make time to meet face to face—to express her true love. I really like her, let her not have that kind of thinking, don't belittle yourself so much, I am not as good as she thinks.Frustrated repeatedly, I don't know how many times I cried, and finally provoked an emotional outburst and almost tore with her, but He Pei suddenly let go.

"Ah."

It was still such a restrained and flat response, just like the corners of her mouth that were always straight and never raised when facing Cheng Biyun.

Cheng Biyun breathed a sigh of relief.
