weird

Solemnly accepted Xie Xiaojun's invitation that night, Cai Yinggang called Hou Yu and two boys who were doing well in the class, and the group went to the newly opened CGV cinema in the commercial city.

Commercial City is a collective name for large commercial streets, and it is also the most lively and prosperous place in Zhucheng.It is adjacent to the center of the urban area on the left and the airport on the right. It can be said to be the intermediate hub between the airport and the urban area.

This area is mostly a shopping mall, with colorful lights everywhere at night, and the shops on the first floor are full of barbecue and snacks, and the business is booming.

They went to a shopping mall in the middle of the street where the street was interrupted. The building was not high, including the first floor and the fifth floor. The theater was on the far left on the fourth floor. Buoyed.

There was a long queue at the six ticket machines, so Cai Yinggang pushed a group of people away, yelling to buy popcorn and Coke, leaving only Zhuang Yan and Xie Xiaoyun in the queue tacitly.

Xie Xiaoyun originally said that watching movies to make friends is a pretense, the main purpose is to be dignified, but the person she favors seems to be uninterested, from school to the movie theater, the whole process is silent.

It's not right to say that the interest is low, after all, Zhuang Yan doesn't look bored, every time he casually looks over, he is staring at the floor, or some empty object, in a daze thoughtfully.

One-sided enthusiasm actually dampens enthusiasm. Xie Xiaoyun was discouraged. She pondered for a long time, thinking that everyone had already made an appointment, so she still had to take the initiative, "Did you encounter any trouble? It seems that you are not in a good mood."

"Obviously?" Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, "No, I'm just a little tired."

Xie Xiaoyun bit her lip, pretending to be open-minded, "Young man, don't be so sluggish, come out to play with so many friends, have fun."

She didn't know how to get along with the solemnity, and the topics that came up casually were so boring.

It doesn't feel good to be crowded in the noisy crowd, solemnly wiped his sore neck, and continued: "You are right, I still have so many friends."

What is a Chu Chen, he still has friends.

They were lined up within a short chat, Xie Xiaoyun counted the number of people, Zhuang Yan didn't think much, and directly scanned the QR code to pay.

"Sheng Yan, you're stealing the credit. You agreed to invite you, but you moved too fast." Xie Xiaoyun sullenly put away the paper ticket spit out from the machine.

Solemnly said: "We are all friends, it's the same for anyone who invites you."

When Xie Xiaoyun heard this, she stopped tallying the tickets for a moment, but she wanted to laugh, but for some reason, she just couldn't.

Zhuang Yan seemed to be too indifferent, friends or not, he said it out of the mouth at the first touch of his mouth, and decided their relationship lightly, even his expression didn't change.

She felt that anyone with a discerning eye could see the meaning of what she said and did. Zhuang Yan was so mixed up in the grades, there was no reason why he couldn't understand, he was so indifferent, he was unwilling to even look her in the face, that was the only possibility That is, he is not interested in her.

Maybe he couldn't even remember her name.

Xie Xiaoyun was at a loss for a second, then forced himself to calm down, and said, "That's fine, I'll treat you to dinner later, so don't grab it again."

There is a lot of traffic on the big weekend, and the huge movie hall is almost full of seats. There are more than ten friends on both sides, which happens to occupy a certain row in the middle.

"This newly opened store is different." Zhou Dize foolishly tried the seat, "The seat is soft and quite comfortable."

The girl sitting next to him hurriedly yelled: "Hey, hey, be quiet, I'm so happy that you're going to knock me over!"

Cai Yinggang flew a piece of popcorn to pop his head, and scoffed: "You're a bitch, I didn't look at the poster outside. It said on the poster outside that the two rows in the middle are for VIP seats. This cushion It's stuffed with pure wool!"

"I'm going to be so advanced? Pure wool?" The soil beetle was dumbfounded.

Hou Yu stretched his waist, "Tsk, comfortable! Thank you, the patron, for inviting our group of local dogs to sit in the VIP seats. Watching a movie is really like going to a SPA. Three words, enjoy!"

"That's two words! You love to be a local dog and go yourself." Cai Yinggang said: "Of course, the father of the funder still has to thank you. Brother Xie Yan, wait a few days for my goddess movie to be released. Let's come again, I'm still sitting here, it's hot!"

Closing his eyes solemnly, he leaned against the back of the chair and sneered at the words, "Get lost, I am the father you will never get."

Everyone laughed out loud when they heard it.

Under the deliberate arrangement of some people, Xie Xiaoyun and Zhuang Yan sat in the innermost seat of the row. The movie was about to start, and there was no light in the theater at this time, and the light source for all visible objects came from the advertisements broadcast on the big screen.

Taking advantage of the weak light, Xie Xiaoyun greedily set her eyes on the boy beside her.

She has been secretly in love with Zhuang Yan for almost a year.

A long time ago, in Class One and Three of High School, she was a "fat ball girl" with low self-esteem and timidity.

No. 1 in reverse in every physical education class, the physical test is always the last, even if you are sweating profusely, you still have to accept the disqualification, and the shameful result of rerunning next month will give you the nickname Swinging Penguin.

She is the most inconspicuous person in the class. She wears loose school uniforms that are tight. When she throws shot put in the school sports meeting, the sports committee is the first to think of her, and then the class burst into laughter, as if girls were chosen to throw shot put , How embarrassing and shameful, it is the helplessness and pain that only I understand.

However, at the next moment, the last row in the corner of the classroom raised a hand alone. Like her classmates, she looked over in surprise and involuntarily.

I saw the owner of that hand sitting sprawled, and said lazily: "Sports Committee, I voluntarily sign up for men's shot put, please help me fill in the name. I'm done, you can laugh."

Who would dare to laugh at him? The class fell silent, but Xie Xiaoyun secretly laughed in her heart. She spread her palms to catch a ray of sunlight coming in from the window, and quietly remembered the boy's name in her heart.

Probably the boy who was closing his eyes and worrying for some reason at this moment should have long since forgotten.

Really heartless.

Xie Xiaoyun smiled, and focused her gaze on the big screen.

The movie is a stereotyped domestic romance film. In the end, the protagonist died and was injured. No one waited for a happy ending.

After the movie ended, they went to the basement floor to eat hot pot. After eating, they felt that it was not enough, so they planned to go to the KTV on the fifth floor to continue the booth.Zhuang Yan followed to the fifth floor, didn't order a song, and didn't participate in a crazy dice game with a group of people. After a short stay, he got up and said he was leaving.

"Really don't play anymore?" Hou Yu asked him to stay: "I see you are a little bored tonight, don't you eat much, don't you play much, what's the matter?"

"It's okay." Zhuang Yan perfunctorily handed him a microphone to drive him away, then turned around and opened the door.

Xie Xiaoyun followed and called people to a stop in the corridor where the magic sound was piercing through the ears.

"It's actually not a big deal." She said, "Although I know the answer, I still want to tell you, Majestic, I like you for a long time."

Unresponsive feelings must be painful. Pretending to be strong is not being strong. Xie Xiaoyun started to choke up after speaking, "I don't need you to answer me, and I don't force a good result. I just... want to give myself an explanation."

After the words fell, she lowered her head.She understood that she was still not brave enough, and took advantage of the noisy environment to leave the last face covering for herself.But in my heart, I was looking forward to it crazily, looking forward to solemnly hearing all her embarrassment.

He listened to her solemnly and quietly, without opening his mouth. After a long silence, he gave her a faint smile in return.

……

The wind at night was very cold, Yan Yan tightly tightened his coat, and angrily kicked the taxi that was speeding past, waving non-stop.

The screen of the phone in his pocket suddenly lit up, and he took it out to take a look. It was a WeChat message from Bian Liang.

[Bian Liang]: Do you have time tomorrow?

[880]: Yes.

[Bian Liang]: Then come out. Some things have been held in for too long. After all, we have to find new audiences.

[880]: Good.

After Zhuang Yan finished typing and sent, he turned off the screen, a car light flashed across his cheek, he beckoned, and the car stopped.

This tonight of torment ended, and his last chance to save himself also quietly failed.

Somewhat disappointed, he still likes Chu Chen.

……

Bian Liang made an appointment with an Internet celebrity milk tea shop in the urban area. The two arrived early, and many people had already taken pictures in the shop and checked in. When Zhuang Yan entered, he was surrounded by two girls asking for WeChat. He didn't give it, so he went to the bar temporarily Booked a small private room, and the narrow wooden door isolated the noise from the outside.

To be honest, Zhuang Yan and Bian Liang were not close at all.A face that has only been seen once, might not be recognized by Zhuang Yan on the street.The only common intersection between them is Chu Chen, so when they sat facing each other, the two of them were more or less uncomfortable.

The silence was broken by the waiter who pushed the door open, put two cups of hot drink on each side, looked at the absent-minded person opposite, Bian Liang coughed, and took the initiative to break the deadlock.

"Have you had breakfast yet?"

Because they had to go back to school at night, the two made a special appointment to meet in the morning.

Solemnly said, "No."

Bian Liang took the menu at the corner of the table, flipped through it casually, "Is mashed potatoes okay? Order plain porridge."

Zhuang Yan glanced at the menu, "Whatever, I'm not hungry."

"What, are you in a bad mood?" Bian Liang asked.

Everyone said that he was in a bad mood, solemn and irritable, but he didn't show it, "it's just that he has no appetite and doesn't want to eat."

"We still have to eat breakfast." Bian Liang smiled, "Let's add two fried dough sticks, let's eat together."

Zhuang Yan was noncommittal, but said, "Chu Chen is quite edible, with six steamed buns for a meal, and a bowl of soup."

"Yes, he has a very good appetite." Bian Liang said, "In our No. 200 Middle School, the top ten students in the monthly exam get [-] yuan for food allowance. He has to pay two meals for himself, and sometimes he can even add half a bowl."

"What was he like before?" Zhuang Yan asked, "So cold and boring?"

"He has that kind of personality." Bian Liang said, "You know his situation, right? The current social environment is not good, and people in orphanages are hated by thousands of people everywhere. We haven't experienced it personally. When I grew up, I was often poked in the back, and the adults didn't let the children play with him. After living for so many years, I don't have many friends."

The movement of solemnly drinking water stopped for a moment. He hadn't experienced it personally, but he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

"I heard that he was stabbed to repeat a grade, and was expelled from your No. [-] middle school." Solemnly said, "Also...he was retired."
