Che Zhihao and Ma Zhiyu sneaked into the center of the city's swimming pool through the back door. The moonlight shone on the pool surface, sparkling, and everything around seemed to be glowing with a faint silver light.

"The good place you mentioned is here, the swimming pool center?" Ma Zhiyu patted the dust off the ground, and sat down directly on the cold and hard floor.

"Well, although it is very noisy and crowded during the day, it is very quiet at night. The water here has a magical power to calm people down. When you are in a bad mood, come here to look at the sky and change your horizons. It feels like hope has resurfaced, so it's a good place." After speaking, Che Zhihao sat next to Ma Zhiyu.

The moonlight fainted under the dim sky, Ma Zhiyu looked up at the sky, time seemed to be frozen in this second, but Che Zhihao's next words were still firmly engraved in Ma Zhiyu's heart. "When you answered the uncle who caught the thief, why were you so nervous that your hands were shaking, although you were very firm."

Really sharp.

But at this moment, Ma Zhiyu could only respond to his question with silence, the painful memories lifted her high, as if she had lost herself.

"Hey, when did you two run in here?" The loud shout of the baton-wielding guard stopped the condensation of the air and the icy atmosphere.

"Oops, run!" Che Zhihao suddenly stood up and took Ma Zhiyu's hand, and ran to the exit anxiously, avoiding the scolding of the uncle guard.

Che Zhihao held Ma Zhiyu's hand tightly and ran for a long distance. While running together until his eyelids sank into a dream, and then reached a certain destination, Ma Zhiyu's sad and complicated mood began to gradually dissipate.

There is never the right time, but at this moment, let you and I walk away hand in hand, and go to that momentous and sweet encounter like a Roman holiday. I don’t know where you and I will go, but we have a heart that will never turn back. Until the end we Step away.Cha Zhihao thought so.

【classroom】

Cha Zhihao was awakened from his sleep by the interruption of the class bell, and his sleepy eyes met Ma Zhiyu's. "So, how long have you been watching me?" The teasing words are always at your fingertips, it seems that this has become an indispensable part of Cha Zhihao's life.

"Who told you to always sleep like a dead pig?" Ma Zhiyu turned Che Zhihao into his army, and it was only at this moment that Che Zhihao felt that she was full of passion like a pool full of water in summer, and she should have been It's like this, isn't it?

"Come to the rooftop after class." Ma Zhiyu turned around, although the chaotic and tangled emotions in her chest were like fireworks bursting out of the dark night sky, she decided not to hide the truth in her heart anymore.

【on the roof】

Cha Zhihao lay with his eyes closed under the sunlight falling from the pure white clouds, he was thinking about what kind of world he would see when he opened his eyes.

"Che Zhihao." Ma Zhiyu, who walked up to the roof, called his name seriously for the first time, and Che Zhihao suddenly sat up from the low table in fright.

"Well, you're here." Che Zhihao's heart seemed to hang in the air, with a rare expression of embarrassment and tension.

Seeing this scene, Ma Zhiyu suddenly smiled.She didn't know that her smile at this moment was as bright as fireworks, and it hit Che Zhihao's heart strongly.

"Let me tell you about my past." Che Zhihao came to his senses in Ma Zhiyu's voice.

"It's related to what happened yesterday, right?" Che Zhihao remembered how she looked yesterday, and that time on the Han River Bridge...

In the first year of high school, once the students returned to the classroom after physical education class, a girl in Ma Zhiyu's class who often took the first grade test suddenly said that some important notes she had in the cram school were missing.At that time, many students were in physical education class, and Ma Zhiyu ran back to the classroom to get things on the way.The students around all said to watch the videotape of the classroom, and it turned out that only Ma Zhiyu was captured in the videotape during the period of going to physical education class, because the girl was sitting in a dead corner of the video, so even if someone stole her Notebook, there is no so-called evidence at all.

Ma Zhiyu's eye sockets had already started to turn red, but the tears of pride still did not dare to abandon her eyes.

"So they suspect you to be a thief?" Che Zhihao frowned.

"They pretended to know what was going on and insisted that I was the one who stole the notes, and some people with nothing to do started to act as judges. The girl added that the notes were still there before gym class , They disappeared when they came back. They never knew how cruel their casual attacks and slanders are." Tears still rolled stubbornly in Ma Zhiyu's eyes, making the last resistance.

“[The Polish poet Stanislaw once said: No snowflake feels responsible for an avalanche.] All they did was try to knock you down. Then what happened?”

"What disappointed me the most was that my friends started switching sides like a record switcher and sided with me. I explained to them that even if I was the only one on the tape, it didn't mean I stole the notes. But The things I hold in my hand have long been misunderstood by them as me being a thief." Ma Zhiyu couldn't bear it anymore, she kept sobbing, her eyes became moist with the washing of tears.

Che Zhihao stepped forward and hugged her tightly, and Ma Zhiyu also hugged his waist back.She was crying in his arms, tears were like waves breaking down a sandcastle, Cha Zhihao ran his fingertips through her hair, comforting her in a low voice: "Life is a lesson, we dominate this image A broken heart like a mosaic, we may fall into the cracks and troughs of life, but we will always find our way back.”

"I have also been trying to let go of all this, but to no avail. As soon as I went to school, the whispers of my classmates and the suspicious and strange eyes they cast on me were like a bullet piercing my heart, but the Band-Aid It can't stop the blood from the bullet hole." Ma Zhiyu choked on his sobs.

"I know, but you shouldn't be so impulsive to jump into the Han River, girl. Even if you are deeply confused, life is worth cherishing, so let's live on." Che Zhihao still has lingering fears about her behavior of jumping into the river.

"But I'm about to collapse, and I can't tell my family that I was wronged." She screamed heart-piercingly, and he knew it.

Che Zhihao held Ma Zhiyu's shoulder, and gently wiped away her tears with his hand. "It's a good thing you're alive, so it's time to turn the page and say goodbye to the bad past, it's never too late to have a fresh start, and you'll have a new September. Turn your face toward Sun, let that shadow lie deep behind you, and it will be hard to reach."

【next】

In that period of past with no future, the sky in her mind was eroded by darkness, like an impenetrable storm, she was like a train traveling at high speed and about to crash.Now, after expressing the stagnation that has accumulated in my heart for a long time, it is like rain falling when a river dries up.Cha Zhihao helped her break through the distant yesterday. At this moment, her world seemed to have cleared up after the rain.
