After the little singer marks the big sister Gao Leng

If I could see through the meaning of that expression at that time, there would be no confession that failed later.

Tao Xiaoyu couldn't stop recalling, her eyes wandered back and forth between the sky and the lake.

Every time she breaks up in love, what makes her suffer the most is not the love break itself, but the fact that she will always think of Tang Manwen naturally after the break up.

At that time, Tao Xiaoyu liked Tang Manchun the most when she talked about her cousin, and she would quietly write down every detail about her in a notebook.

In less than a year, Tao Xiaoyu's red-skinned notebook has already filled more than half of it, even though he has no substantial contact with Tang Manwen.

Even, "The white dress my sister wore yesterday is so fairy", "My sister will return to China before New Year's Day", "My sister started a company by herself", "My uncle likes my sister more than my brother" and so on. The things she recorded are also within the scope of her records.

"Manchun, let me ask you." It was the second semester of their second year of high school, in late May. On the way home from school, Tao Xiaoyu asked her good friend again, "Sister Manwen will go back to Ludao after graduation." Is it?"

"Yes, her company is open. Also, I heard from my brother that she will sponsor the next Ai La concert." Tang Manchun looked at Tao Xiaoyu, and she had a question. I have endured it for a long time.

"Then—" Tao Xiaoyu thought, the final of the Ai La concert is in summer, "I want to participate next time!" In fact, she wanted to take the opportunity to meet Tang Manwen, even if it was very slim.

The Aila Concert is an annual music competition for Aila Entertainment to screen new singers. As long as they are over the age and have not signed a contract with any company, they can sign up in their own name. Minors must have a recommender to participate in the competition.

By March next year, Tao Xiaoyu will have this qualification.The competition schedule is not very complicated, as long as the contestants upload their entries on the Aila Music website in the preliminary round.

"Before the music teacher kept asking you to participate, but you refused to agree to it, and said something that would affect your studies and not like the utilitarian competition, so sore! How is it now, won't your face hurt?" Tang Manchun couldn't help but hurt her, "Or, you don't want to drink alcohol?"

"Manchun, I don't know what you're talking about." Tao Xiaoyu avoided Tang Manchun's death and stared straight at him.

She really doesn't like utilitarian things like competitions. Although it is well known that she has a good voice and good singing, she doesn't want to be exposed to the public eye and become the object of everyone's judgment and discussion.

"Actually," the evening sun stretched the figures of the two girls for a long time. Tang Manchun stopped and looked sideways at Tao Xiaoyu. The piercing sunset forced her to squint her eyes, "You I accidentally saw the picture drawn in the draft book."

Tao Xiaoyu's face turned red in an instant, "That - I, I just drew for fun when I was bored."

"Boring?" Tang Manchun knew too well the virtues of her friends. Whenever she lied, she would stutter and blush. "Do you know how many girls like my sister?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." The secret in her heart was seen through, Tao Xiaoyu had to hold on in order to save face, she didn't want to admit it so easily.

"What's our relationship?!" Tang Manchun tugged on the strap of his schoolbag, "It's really disappointing, I've been waiting for you to tell me, but you are like a coward, never daring to face your feelings. I'm being a fool to think I don't know anything!"

"Don't speak so loudly," Tao Xiaoyu knew that he couldn't hide anymore, so he acquiesced, "Actually, I don't understand myself very well. I didn't think so much at all, just, just, thinking of Man You will feel very happy when you are sister Wen, what do you want me to say about this kind of thing?"

"If you like someone, let her know."

Tang Manchun's tone was so direct and natural that Tao Xiaoyu had nowhere to hide.

It turns out that thinking of someone makes me feel happy, and I always pay attention to her little by little unconsciously. Every day before going to bed, I can’t help but think of him. I don’t want to miss any news about her, and I don’t miss every opportunity to see her... Is this what you call liking?

Moreover, it is already so obvious that I like it!

Tao Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat.

"It's not—me," she stammered in panic, "Well, can you keep this secret for me?" For this reason, it seems that there is no need to continue to hide it.

Tang Manchun chuckled, "You idiot, you should ask me to help you chase my sister. This is the correct way to like someone."

"No, no!" Tao Xiaoyu hastily stopped her, "Let's talk about it later."

This wait is another year.

And she really participated in the love concert competition.

In the preliminaries and semi-finals, she easily stood out.

In the end, she won the championship of the middle school student group with "A Girl's Prayer".

Tao Xiaoyu's music teacher has long said that her voice is naturally suitable for singing.

That's something to celebrate, knowing how hard it is to stand out from thousands of contestants, especially for an amateur like her, which means she has the opportunity to sign with Ala Entertainment, and then Receive professional study and training, become a resident singer of Aila Music Network, and finally march towards the palace of music.

What is jaw-dropping is that Tao Xiaoyu did not sign the contract.

When asked why, she replied, "I just want to sing for the person I like."

When everyone was sighing for her choice, she turned her head and found that Tang Manwen, who was wearing a black deep V dress and sitting in the front row, was looking at her with an imperceptible smile on her face.

Or maybe that was a mockery too?

At that moment, Tao Xiaoyu was not sure, she was just guessing after the fact based on her attitude and evaluation of herself later.

There is another reason why she did not choose to sign, and that is that she is going to Singapore.

When Tao Xiaoyu was in high school, in addition to winning the middle school student group championship in the Ai La Concert Competition, she also did an unforgettable thing, that is, at the instigation of Tang Manchun, she mustered up her courage, I wrote a sincere love letter to Tang Manwen.

She didn't dare to call her or send her a message, let alone ask her out to confess her love in person.

So she used the method that has long been eliminated by people. This most old-fashioned method may not be smart enough, but it gave Tao Xiaoyu, who had no confidence, the courage to fully confide her heart.

That summer, after winning the champion of the singing competition group sponsored by Tang Manwen, she felt that at least she got her gaze and her smile. Perhaps, she could expect a little more and get closer to her Some.

With such beautiful and uneasy expectations, she handed the confession letter to Tang Manchun.

While waiting for the reply, Tao Xiaoyu's heart fluttered every day.

Her uneasy feeling even surpassed the anxiety of waiting for the university admission letter.

"Xiaoyu, is it convenient to meet up?"

Finally, Tang Manchun sent a message.

Across the screen, Tao Xiaoyu could also feel the formal tone of her good friend. This short line of words gave off a bad atmosphere, because she didn't dare to call Tang Manchun to confirm. Three days, she waited for three days, What should come is finally here.

As an intermediary, as a messenger, maybe Manchun has already got the answer.Tao Xiaoyu suddenly became sober at this moment. After entering the reply of "speak directly", he still didn't have the courage to press the send button.

After a long time, she deleted "speak directly", typed in "convenient", and sent it nervously.

"See you at the old place in half an hour."

In the coffee shop near their middle school, Tang Manchun became flickering, not at all like her usual.

"It's okay," Tao Xiaoyu said with a smile. However, her smile had already revealed a hint of disappointment in advance, "Just tell the truth."

"My sister is such a fool!" Tang Manchun was determined to win, because she knew what kind of girl her sister liked, and she would never refuse a kind and delicate girl like Tao Xiaoyu, so she devoted herself to matching them two.

"How could Sister Manwen be a fool?!" Tao Xiaoyu forced a smile, "I won't allow you to scold the person I like!" That was the only time she said that she liked Tang Manwen.

"Yo, I just found out that you can be very A sometimes." Tang Manchun felt sorry for her friend, but what her sister said was really ruthless.

"Quickly say, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain." Tao Xiaoyu straightened his body, with a kind of awe-inspiring pre-sacrifice expression on his face, "I'm ready."

"My sister said," Tang Manchun was a little afraid to look at Tao Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes, and her smiling but distressed little face, "She doesn't like my little sister."

"Anymore?"

"She—" Tang Manchun didn't want to say so much at first, but in order to make her friend give up, she said it all out, "She also said that she doesn't like girls who like to sing sweet songs."

Although the result was expected before departure, the reason for being rejected was still like a thin needle pierced deeply into the soft heart, causing Tao Xiaoyu's chest to throb continuously.

"let it go."

It was at that time that she belatedly understood why Tang Manwen would frown after hearing her song when they met for the first time; and at the awards ceremony, her smile would appear disapproving.

It has been affirmed by so many people, but it does not include the person I like.Tao Xiaoyu felt as if a boulder was pressing on her chest.

She has always been a straightforward person, no matter what she does, she is very decisive.

Only for Tang Manwen, after so many years, she still couldn't be straightforward or decisive.

It was as if the needle that had been stuck in her heart many years ago had never been able to be removed.

Although she is no longer a little sister now, and she no longer always sings sweet songs, but she doesn't want to explain her growth to Tang Manwen any more boringly. Today, the intersection between the two is even less and less.

It's just that, in order to forget the person who frustrated him, Tao Xiaoyu has repeatedly accepted other people casually over the years.

Repeatedly accepted, repeatedly failed.

How long is that going to last?

How long does it take to get over someone who doesn't really like you, maybe even despises you?

Tao Xiaoyu got up from the bench, the lake wind blew her black hair, alas, lost love, drunk sooner forget.

"Hey, Manchun," as soon as the call was connected, Tao Xiaoyu's tone seemed to be drunk, "Would you like to have a drink with me tonight?"

"Wow, are you broken in love again?"

I don't know when, Tao Xiaoyu's talk of going for a drink has begun to be tantamount to breaking up with Tang Manchun.

"Don't ask so many questions, do you have time?"

"Okay, I'm busy right now, please send me the time and place first."
