not your best friend

In front of the table, I reached out and picked up the photo frame and stroked it lightly, as if I was holding some great treasure in my hand.What is contained in this photo is a whole youth.

Huo Wan looked at it, smiled inexplicably, and suddenly whispered to the person in the photo frame.

"Hi, the earth is round, I rolled back again."

2019.2.1

The suitcase was spread out in the middle of the floor, and Huo Wan sat cross-legged on the carpet, cleaning out the contents bit by bit.In fact, there is not much in it.

Most of them are daily necessities, and there are some professional-related books in English brought back from abroad.

After living abroad for five years, unnecessary things that cannot be taken away are either given away or thrown away.As for the rest of the things that are still needed, if it is not convenient to take them away, they will go directly to the international air transport.

Huo Wan reached out and took out a cowhide-bound book from the compartment in the box, then got up, walked to the table and sat down, and turned on the small desk lamp on the table.

The warm yellow reading light made people feel very comfortable. She took out a pen from the pen holder on the table, held it in her hand, and gently opened the book.

After unscrewing the pen cap and thinking for a while, I turned to the latest page and started writing.

In the quiet room, only the rustling sound of writing can be heard.

She bought this notebook in a small shop on the streets of London.

It records her life in the past five years, and... the miss of a certain person.Just writing for yourself is not enough for outsiders.

Perhaps one day in the future, this thick notebook can be presented in front of Lin Dang in a special form, maybe?

The phone in his pocket rang again at this untimely moment.Huo Wan reached out and took a look. The caller ID was the city's mobile number.Almost no one knew about her new mobile phone card, and only told a few close people, so after a little hesitation, she picked up the phone.

It is the [-]th anniversary celebration of the high school alma mater.

Huo Wan frowned, just about to politely decline the invitation, but then turned around when the words came to his lips, and swallowed them back abruptly.

Because she remembered a very important thing.

For face-saving activities such as school celebrations, successful people who have graduated from previous years are usually invited to participate.So if this is the case, she can receive this invitation even after returning to China. Did Lin Dang also receive this invitation?

Huo Wan was worried that there was no reason to have a direct contact with Lin Dang, so naturally he refused to let go of any possible opportunity.

"I have a little question I want to ask."

"Will Lin Dang, who graduated from the same class as me, come to this school celebration?"

When the caller over there heard the question, he said wait a moment.After a while, there was an immediate response.

"Just checked, Lin Dang has accepted our invitation a few days ago."

This sentence is what Huo Wan wants to hear.

When talking at this time, the words were unconsciously tinged with a little smile, where Lin Dang was, how could Huo Wan be without her?

"Well, I'll be there on time then."

No. [-] Middle School is a well-known key high school in this city. Parents have a very strange saying in private, that is, as long as their children are admitted to No. [-] Middle School, it is basically equivalent to one foot into the gate of university.Even if the child is not up to date, he can still read the second book.

Huo Wan and Lin Dang were admitted in the top five rankings in the city back then, and they were directly booked into the key class of No. [-] Middle School.

When Lin Dang was invited to come here, he never thought that he would meet Huo Wan on such an occasion.Originally thought that Huo Wan, who had just returned from abroad, would not be on the invitation list of his alma mater.

So when such a 'coincidence' happens, it will appear so caught off guard.

The other party arrived earlier than her, so when she walked into the VIP seat in the front row of the auditorium, she just happened to see this familiar figure joking with her former high school classmates next to her. Lin's immediate reaction was to turn around and look Check to see if there is any space in the back.

However, her arrival was quickly seen by her familiar classmates, who thought she was looking for old classmates like them when she looked back.Everyone used to have a good relationship in the class. Regardless of their social status today, it is still very casual to say hello.

"Lin Dang, stop looking, here!"

It was a man's voice, somewhat familiar, Lin Dang couldn't remember who the owner of this voice was.But that's not the point, she turned her neck back somewhat unnaturally, and looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

I don't know who is so talkative!

"Huo Wan is here too, why don't you recognize us, even your Huo Wan?"

As soon as the man's voice fell, the people around couldn't help laughing.Their knowledge of the relationship between Huo Wan and Lin Dang is still a long time ago, and few people know about their falling out.

"Dangdang, sit down, I specially reserved the seat for you." The girl's special voice is very recognizable, and this voice is very familiar to Lin Dang.In order to cooperate with everyone, Huo Wan also laughed along, as if their friendship really stayed at the best time in high school.

And in order to prevent Lin Dang from making another excuse, she first reached out and grabbed the other's arm, pulling her over.

Lin Dang felt very uncomfortable, and wanted to get rid of it in his heart, but in the public, doing so would definitely arouse criticism from others.

So bear with it.

Huo Wan sat against the edge of the aisle, and there was an empty seat next to her.And Lin Dang just didn't want to sit in this seat, so he looked back.But at this time, someone howled, so she became the focus of everyone.

I don't even want to sit down!

So she followed the strength of Huo Wan's arm and obediently sat down on the seat.

Several acquaintances around her began to greet her enthusiastically, and the initial embarrassment had long been swept away. Lin Dang quickly adapted to the fact that the person sitting next to him was Huo Wan, and the expression on his face returned to normal like that.

Huo Wan looked at the people around him and chatted with interest, as if looking at his own little daughter-in-law.Although Lin Dang only talks to others and deliberately ignores her.

If you ignore me, then I will take care of you.

At the beginning of a relationship, there must always be one person who takes the initiative, so let me do it.

"I reserved a seat for you, don't you say thank you?"

Huo Wan stretched out her hand and put it lightly on Lin Dang's shoulder, deliberately getting close to talk to him.A person who is very polite on weekdays, always thank you long and thank you short, why is the treatment different when she comes to her?

She worked so hard that she couldn't even get a thank you!

Discrimination, shameful!

"Thank you."

Lin Dang couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard the voice coming from his ear.

She knew that this person was deliberately looking for trouble again, so she said thank you without looking back.By the way, she reached out her hand, pinched someone's hand on her shoulder, and was about to throw it away.

Who knew that Huo Wan held it directly with his backhand.

Lin Dang was still talking to the person in the front seat, when his hand was suddenly held by someone, his mind froze all of a sudden, and he forgot what he was going to say next.Just at this time, the lights in the auditorium suddenly dimmed, leaving only a few headlights shining on the stage.

The school celebration is about to begin.

Lin Dang moved his hand and tried to pull it out of Huo Wan's hand with a little strength, but who knew that the other party felt her intention and became tighter and tighter to me.

"Let go!" Lin Dang frowned and scolded in a low voice, staring at the other party, but under such light, Huo Wan couldn't see Lin Dang staring at him.Even if you see it, you pretend not to see it!

She turned a deaf ear to it, and instead talked about Lin Dang's fault.

"Don't move around, or you should disturb the people around you."

She was unusually calm at this time, and also unusually righteous.Judging from her tone of voice and expression, you can't tell that she has some crooked thoughts in her heart at this time.

What's wrong with holding hands, and you won't lose a piece of meat.As true as a cheapskate is!

After saying this, the people next to him really stopped moving.

The host standing on the stage started the process with his manuscript.A small number of people around them also stopped talking at the moment the host spoke, took out their mobile phones and started doing their own things.

Lin Dang sat on the back of the chair in a well-behaved manner, looking at the stage for a moment.The listening habit she has developed over the years makes her listen attentively.This is not only respect for oneself, but also respect for others.

Besides, she doesn't like playing with her mobile phone very much.

Seeing that the other party had given up fighting with him, Huo Wan was also satisfied. He held the other party's hand and put it on his lap, feeling so happy that he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

In fact, this is just a small test. She is testing whether the other party really doesn't like her at all as she said, and just sees herself as a friend.

However, judging from the various results of side-talking, she felt that her hopes were still quite high.Lin Dang said it as if he was speaking righteously, but in fact he moved the bottom line again and again for himself, and repeatedly tolerated his behavior that crossed the line.

If this is not love?

Even if it is not love, it is definitely not simply liking for friends.

Huo Wan was absent-mindedly listening to one school leader after another going up to give speeches on the stage, while thinking about how to get along with this awkward person around him next.Both hands began to play around Lin Dang's little finger unconsciously.

This is a very bad habit of hers
