My green plums are very sour

Things started to get weird.I never knew that our school is so small, it seems that no matter where we go, we can always meet Tao Songnian.She appeared more and more frequently in my field of vision, making it impossible for me to ignore her at all.

I didn't think too much about it. I just thought it was because I didn't know each other before, so I never noticed it. Now that I can call each other by name, I naturally pay more attention on the road.

Sometimes we met on the stairs, one went up and the other came down, Tao Songnian would always come across and block my way, and when I was blocked, I raised my head to look, and she would raise her eyebrows He stared at me and laughed twice, then ran away from me.If I stopped on the corridor and continued to watch, she would turn around and wave at me.

Usually when we meet in the teaching building, we don’t talk very much. The time is too short and there are too many people. We can only smile and look at each other for two seconds when we pass by. Occasionally, she will make a playful face.For a while, I thought Tao Songnian looked a little shy, but soon I found out that I was wrong, she is much more lively than me.

Of course, the time we spend the most time is the hour of practice in the afternoon.Although Tao Songnian didn't join the school team, his skills are very good. He will definitely participate in basketball games on behalf of his class, so he often appears on the court.

Her height advantage is very obvious when playing, and few of the group of girls playing with her can guard her.Basically as long as the ball is in her hands, no one else can grab it.

Half-baked people like A Rui and I are no match for her.Last time, I couldn't win the game without confrontation. If it was one-on-one, I guess I could be blown away by her directly.

Fortunately, Tao Songnian is not the kind of person who likes to show off. Instead, he would take the time to sneak to our venue to give guidance.

What caught my attention was her cheerleaders.Every day when Tao Songnian practiced, there would be a few girls standing on the edge of the court. They didn't play, but cheered and cheered beside them. As long as Tao Songnian scored a goal, the cheers would echo throughout the court.

At that time, I foolishly thought that those were all good friends of Tao Songnian, and I came here specially to watch her practice.Just like Ning Ran came to visit us occasionally.

Those few people usually watch for about twenty minutes, and then go to have dinner together.As soon as they leave, Tao Songnian will touch our side of the field, and immediately break my ball when they come, and then follow up with a layup or a mid-range shot. If she makes it, she will raise her chin and pose. He looked at me proudly.

The first two times I was intercepted by her, I just stood there dumbly and didn't know how to react. After more times, I also started to try to counterattack on the spot, and my confrontation ability has improved a lot.

All of this happened without Ning Ran's knowledge.

For unknown reasons, I didn't want Ning Ran to find out that Tao Songnian and I knew each other, and Tao Songnian himself avoided Ning Ran very carefully.If Ning Ran appeared on the court with us during practice, Tao Songnian would not come to see me, but would just nod his head from a distance or make gestures as a greeting.

Although I don't know why she did this, Tao Songnian's actions saved me a lot of trouble. At least I didn't need to impromptuly prepare an introduction when the two of them met.Maybe I subconsciously feel that it is better not to know them.

A Rui has a strong interest in Tao Songnian.When Tao Songnian came to look for me the next afternoon, she left Qiu Zicheng, who was practicing dribbling with her, and approached us stealthily, and got close to Tao Songnian.Qiu Zicheng could only stand alone holding the ball, shaking his head and sighing.

"Cough cough." A Rui walked over with her hands behind her back, coughed twice deliberately, trying to attract our attention, "Then what, Shu Yu, why don't you introduce me? Who is this?"

I gave her a funny look, and still pretended to gesture between the two with my hand, "This is Tao Songnian, a senior from Class [-] and [-]. She is Zhou Sirui, a good friend I have known for many years."

Tao Songnian showed a very friendly smile, turned his head slightly to say hello to A Rui.Looks very docile.

"Hello. I was just about to introduce Shu Yu, but I didn't expect you to preempt me."

A Rui has always been very enthusiastic, and after returning the gift, she praised Tao Songnian's golf skills with bright eyes.

"Senior sister, you are very good at playing! I just watched you play with the school team, and you didn't fall behind at all. Those two blocked shots were really cool!"

"You look so tall, you are 1.7 meters five, right? When you are tall enough to stand under the basket when grabbing rebounds, I am so envious. You see, Shu Yu and I may not be able to jump up. Compete with others."

Not everyone can withstand A Rui's enthusiasm. For example, we have known her for more than ten years before we can barely maintain our composure. It was the first time Tao Songnian talked to A Rui, and he was able to speak calmly with a smile on his face. Listening to it, even though A Rui was dancing and praising her, she didn't show a trace of complacency or embarrassment.

On the contrary, I couldn't stand it myself, so I hurriedly called a stop.

"Hey, you can praise it as long as you want, why did you bring me?" I gently pushed A Rui to shut her up.When she said that, it always made me feel a little embarrassed.

Tao Songnian smiled so much that she showed her eight teeth, and stretched out her hand to make a gesture on top of my head, almost reaching the position of her earlobe.

Ever since I entered the puberty period and my height kept up, I didn't feel that I was not tall enough. However, when I stood next to Tao Songnian, I still looked like a child who didn't draw a stick.

Although she didn't say it clearly, I could see that she was making fun of our height difference, so I immediately gave her a shy look.

Tao Songnian and A Rui both grinned and laughed when they saw my reaction, unexpectedly they were in perfect harmony.

"I think senior sister is pretty cute." A Rui whispered into my ear when Tao Songnian was not paying attention.

cute?In fact, I can't put such a vocabulary on a person who is half a head taller than me.If I have to talk about my impression of Tao Songnian, it should be interesting.

I acquired a wonderful novelty in her.This is a rare feeling in the past ten years, like a person who is used to eating soy milk and fried dough sticks suddenly drinks tofu nao one day.

In the past, it was not that no one wanted to make friends with me, but my acceptance was not high at all. It seemed that A Rui and Ning Ran were enough.

Tao Songnian was different from them.Her appearance was almost entirely an accident, a fate that I accidentally dropped.

When it comes to the means of making friends, she is not clever, even a little clumsy. The way of striking up a conversation is the same as that of most people, with a bit of a bland taste.But for me it was just right, not overly enthusiastic nor cold.

Sometimes I feel a little nervous when I stand with her, and I always unconsciously want to sneak a look at her. If I happen to bump into her, I will be powerless by her narrow eyes and shy away.At this time, she could always hear her deliberately suppressed chuckle, which sounded like she was very proud.

As I said, this is something I have never experienced in the past ten years, and it makes me feel very fresh.She does seem to have an inexplicable attraction that makes me want to keep getting closer to her.

A few 10 minutes a day seemed not enough to satisfy me, so when Tao Songnian leaned under the basketball hoop and asked for my phone number, I told her without hesitation.

"Shall we leave a phone number? It's more convenient to contact." Before Tao Songnian spoke, we were silent for about 10 minutes. I don't know if she has been brewing words.

In hindsight, it was a very lame question. We had nothing else to get in touch with other than playing together.Even so, I did not raise any doubts about it, but simply answered yes.I saw a gleam of joy flashing quickly in her eyes, and I couldn't help but smile a little in my heart.

Tao Songnian waited for my voice to finish, then took out the mobile phone from his pocket, pressed the dial pad and handed the mobile phone to me.

"No, just enter the number yourself."

I put in my number, handed her the phone back, and my phone rang.

"Okay, this is my number, remember to save it." Tao Songnian clacked out a long list of things while holding his phone, and he didn't know what note he had saved for me.

In those few years, people did not use smartphones, there was no WeChat and mobile QQ, and texting was the preferred way for people to chat.

That night when I went home to do my homework, I was exhausted, and the mobile phone placed on the desk suddenly vibrated.The screen showed that I had received a text message from Tao Songnian.

I thought about it, put down my pen, unlocked my phone and clicked on the message.Under Ning Ran's influence these years, I'm not too good at being distracted while doing my homework.

-Do you want to have a rest?

- Not yet, I'm doing my homework.

- Me too, my hand is sore, I just want to chat with you.

I looked at the remaining paper in my hand, thought for two seconds and continued to reply to the message.

- what do you want to talk about

-There are many things to talk about.But afraid to disturb you.

This left me at a loss as to how to respond.While I was thinking about what to say, the news of Tao Songnian came again.

- Concentrate on your homework.Rest early after writing.I also want to keep fighting.

- Well then, go for it.

-OK, good night.

-Good night.

Actually, I don’t have the habit of saying goodnight before going to bed. The most recent time was when I was just learning English in elementary school. The teacher taught me “goodnight”. In order to create an atmosphere of learning English at home, my parents would talk to me every night before going to bed. I practice once.

The backlight of the mobile phone was a bit dazzling. I bit my lower lip and stared at the word "good night" on the screen for a while, waiting for the automatic lock screen to come back to my senses, shaking my head and continuing to do my homework.
