little city

The conversation that day ended with Lingling's arrival.

I have met Lingling before, but at that time I just greeted her, but did not get in touch with her in depth.Lingling went to college in Shanghai and studied fashion design, and would return to the small town on weekends and holidays.

Lingling also has a girl named Jiaxin, who has the same name as a Hong Kong movie star.Jiang Tao gave a brief introduction, and everyone knew each other.

The first impression is not bad, Lingling looks dignified and majestic, Jiaxin looks beautiful and sexy.

"The weather is so nice today, let's go to the lake for a picnic. How about it?" Lingling entered the door, walked straight to Jiang Tao's side, held her arm, and said in a coquettish tone.

"Auntie's already cooking, what are you cooking for?" Jiang Tao sat on the sofa. "Didn't you go to Hong Kong with your mother? Why didn't you go?

"Mom and the aunts went to play by themselves, I'll stay with you." Lingling sat next to Jiang Tao. "Ah, let's go, it's not easy for everyone to get together and have fun."

I stood by the window, looking at the lake view outside the window, for fear that they would quarrel and appear at a loss.

Jiang Tao still agreed and asked his aunt to prepare some cooked food.A group of four of us walked towards the lake with big and small bags.

Jiang Tao's house is located in a villa area by the lake. The gold-plated gate is rich and noble, and the courtyard is filled with pavilions, terraces and buildings, famous flowers and plants, just like a garden in the south of the Yangtze River.

As I walked, I was curious.Before that, the image of Lingling in my mind was a shrew. Regardless of whether she looks good or not, she must have a hot personality, otherwise Jiang Tao would not be able to stand it, but I didn't expect that the impression Lingling gave me was the same as what Jiang Tao said is quite different.

She was wearing a pink dress, a small light white coat, high heels, long hair, and a platinum necklace on her chest. She had excellent temperament and appearance.

After choosing the place, Lingling began to busy herself, laying the bedding and arranging the food, trying her best to arrange everything.Jiang Tao doesn't talk to Lingling very much, but talks with Jiaxin about interesting things about school.

Jiaxin was wearing a light blue dress. She was thin and tall. She looked proud and arrogant. She was born with a cold face that rejected people thousands of miles away, but when she was with Jiang Tao, she deliberately acted submissive.Every time Jiang Tao said a word, her mantra was: "It's so funny, I laughed so hard, hehe."

When I think of Liu Shuang at this time last year, I can't help being disgusted with Jiaxin, but also sympathetic.

"What does Xiao Xiao usually do?"

Lingling suddenly spoke to me, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Tao said you are a genius."

"No, no, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, what kind of talent, it's a piece of trash."

"I heard you write novels?"

"I've written a few short stories, just for fun, not worth mentioning."

"That's great too. Let me read it sometime."

"The things I write are all asking for troubles, and I dare not show them to others."

"Hey, little boy, don't be modest. I'm telling the truth. There are so many people in my class, so I just look at you." Jiang Tao interrupted suddenly.

"Brother Tao, in front of you, I don't dare to play tricks, so you don't have to run on me."

"Hey, when did you play tricks, I think you started pretending in front of Jiaxin's beauty, right? Jiaxin, Xiaoxiao doesn't have a girlfriend, I think you two are quite suitable."

"Brother Tao, you're bullying me again, hum." Jiaxin never looked at me, she just flirted with Jiang Tao.

"Come, come, let's have dinner." Lingling settled everyone down like a housewife.

The four sat around and drank a toast.Auntie prepared pork ribs with sauce, pork knuckles, pig ears, well-established cooked meat and some cold dishes, all of which tasted good.

The sky is azure blue, with silky white clouds floating overhead.On the lake in the distance, the water was rippling and sparkling, and several fishing boats were swaying in the wind.Under the refraction of the light, the lake water presents different changes from far to near, from bright white to dark blue to light blue, and even the postures of people are different, and the scenery is very different.Nearby, there is a field of reeds, with sparse reed stalks swaying in the wind.Next to it is a green lotus pond, with round lotus leaves covering the lake, large and small spherical dewdrops on the leaves exuding crystal brilliance, and the lotus leaves flowing out of the water are layered, like the skirts of graceful dancing girls.The pink lotus poked its head out from among the layers of leaves, glanced shyly at the world, and suddenly the light of all the creatures in the lake was covered by her.

Our location happened to be an arc-shaped flat grassland, with several camphor trees growing around, just enough to block the direct sunlight.I sat on the grass, with the water and the sky lined up, the scenery of the lake and the mountains, the clear lotus and the lingering waves, and I was drinking and chatting heartily.For the first time, I felt the beauty of the small town.

After dinner, we all played poker together.I was in a team with Jiang Tao, and the two girls were in a team. It was obvious that they were not good at poker and quickly surrendered.After that, Jiang Tao and Lingling were in a group, and Jiaxin and I were in a group.Although Jiaxin and I didn't call, we cooperated with each other tacitly, and Lingling played cards carefully, always afraid of making mistakes, but still made mistakes, which made Jiang Tao keep swearing.Although I am Jiang Tao's friend, I sympathize with Lingling's experience.

Jiang Tao was unhappy and proposed to sing in the city. Jiaxin raised her hand in agreement, and Lingling and I naturally obeyed.When he arrived at KTV, Jiang Tao's mood was high again, and he kept singing with Jiaxin, or dancing to his heart's content, as if he forgot that Lingling was still by his side.Jiaxin's appearance is glamorous, but her singing voice is very sweet. She always cooperates with Jiang Tao and devotes herself deeply.Lingling sat there quietly, and only sang one song, but it was my first time entering KTV, so I couldn't sing at all.

I drank a little foreign wine and became dizzy and nauseous. I couldn't stand the strong sound, so I ran outside alone to have a wind.I stood on the steps of the door, the breeze was blowing, and my brain was cleared up a lot. Compared with the hustle and bustle, I still prefer quietness.

"Is it boring?" At some point, Lingling also came out and asked standing beside me.

"Huh? It's pretty good. I'm just not used to it. After all, I haven't played it before." For some reason, I have an inexplicable intimacy with Lingling, just like the big sister at home. When I'm with her, I will very natural.

"I know it's boring. It's boring to live like this every day."

"Friends like me are even more boring. I haven't seen anything in the world. It's the first time I come to KTV."

"Don't say that. I'm very glad that Jiang Tao has a friend like you. I feel very down-to-earth and much friendlier than his cronies. You can help me keep an eye on him in the future, just don't do bad things."

"Ah? You think highly of me. I don't have the ability. Ten of us are no match for him. What's more, he is rarely in school now."

"Well, I know. You can tell him, you can't go to a good university, you have to start some computer company. I can't control him. He never listens to me, but I just love him and can't do without him. Sometimes I think about breaking up, but once we separate, I feel that life has no hope. Our two families are family friends, and we made a baby marriage very early, and both parents agreed, as if I have to follow him for the rest of my life."

"Don't worry, he's so smart, he won't do bad things." I said.

"Things of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. I'm also afraid that he will imitate the bad. So I am quite relieved to have a friend like you."

I don't know why Lingling suddenly said so much to me, and I don't know how to comfort the girl. Maybe Lingling is just complaining to me.

Later, Jiang Tao drank too much and was dragged away by Lingling. Jiaxin danced and couldn't stand still, so I was responsible for sending him off.

Jiaxin and I got into the same taxi. I sat in the co-pilot and Jiaxin sat in the back.Along the way, I didn't know what to say at all. There seemed to be a wall between me and Jiaxin that could never be broken down.Fortunately, Jiaxin's home is very close. I politely watched Jiaxin enter the gate of the community before leaving by car.

After returning from Jiang Tao's house, everything that happened that day often appeared in my mind, those AV scenes, the conversation with Jiang Tao, Lingling's conversation, Jiaxin's indifference to me and so on.Sometimes I don't understand why everyone is the same age, but their lives are much more mature than mine?But I vaguely feel that the world of love and hatred, love between men and women is getting closer and closer to me.
