The back street of Xinghua High School.
Because it was summer vacation, the streets were very busy with many people coming and going, including students from nearby and young couples.
The various food shops and boutique stores in the alley brought back Xie Mi’s memories.
I realized later that she had been here.
I came with Shen Yuqing to record the show.
The street of the future has changed a lot, but many things have remained the same.
It is still so lively and full of life.
Chen Yuqing's gaze fell on the window of the shop next door.
This is a handmade DIY shop where a couple is painting plaster dolls together.
The boy would secretly put a dot of paint on the tip of the girl's nose, and the girl would quickly smile and pat his shoulder. The two of them would laugh intimately together, feeling happy and sweet.
"What's wrong? Do you want to play this?" Xie Mi leaned over.
As if his hidden thoughts were suddenly exposed, the boy immediately straightened his back and looked straight ahead with an extremely unnatural expression.
"No...no, Sixth Sister, let's go take a look in front!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and walked past the door of the handicraft shop as if he was escaping, not daring to even look at the scene in the window.
But today the street seemed to be against him.
Everywhere you go, you can see couples walking hand in hand.
Couples would go shopping in the small commodity shops and pick out cute accessories for each other.
They would also take photo booths together in the photo studio and treasure the photos in each other's wallets.
Chen Yuqing would always stop and stare subconsciously, and as he watched, he would inexplicably imagine the couple as two other faces.
After they come to their senses, they will lower their heads in panic and quickly leave the scene.
He felt more and more strange and unreasonable.
But from Xie Mi's perspective.
It's a picture of a teenager in high school uniform running recklessly on the road with his head down.
After rushing for a while, he would stop to rest for a few seconds, then lower his head and continue rushing.
“…”
Xie Mi narrowed his eyes and stroked his chin as he thought like a detective.
The child is not...
Got mad cow disease?
In order to find something for Chen Yuqing to do, Xie Mi began to take the lead in today's schedule.
First, he took Chen Yuqing to a VR experience center in a hurry, put on the VR machine, punched and kicked the air.
We went to the snack store together again and bought all of our favorite snacks.
Then I ate all kinds of delicious food along the street, experienced roadside ear cleaning and massage, went to the cute pet store to take a deep breath of cats and dogs, and then went to the video game city to spend 50 yuan to grab 0 dolls.
A smile finally broke out on the boy's thoughtful face, and his frown relaxed. He finally became as cheerful and carefree as his peers.
Seeing this, Xie Mi finally felt relieved.
"Have you learned it?"
Chen Yuqing paused holding the cup of milk tea and asked in confusion, "What?"
“A way to be happy.”
Xie Mi folded his hands on the table and looked at the person opposite him with a smile.
"Whenever you feel unhappy in the future, just follow this process and do it all over again. If that doesn't work, go bungee jumping or ride a roller coaster. As long as you put all the messy thoughts out of your mind, you will be able to pretend to be happy."
Chen Yuqing's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but look at her seriously.
The dessert shop was relaxing and comfortable in the afternoon, the air conditioner was blowing cool air, and the air was filled with the sweet aroma of cake and milk tea.
He subconsciously tightened his grip on the cup, his eyes filled with confusion and he hesitated to speak.
"Sixth sister, today..."
"I know."
Xie Mi interrupted him, her voice was very soft and calm, "You want me to leave, right?"
Chen Yuqing was startled and looked up suddenly.
But I met a pair of gentle and smiling eyes.
"Actually, I noticed it last night. You asked me out today to say goodbye to me."
"This includes sending Xiaoyou home. I'm afraid he'll continue to be in danger if he stays with you."
"You don't want to implicate us, so you want to send us all away."
The young man panicked, as if he was afraid of hurting her feelings, so he explained incoherently, "Sixth sister, it's not that I don't believe you, I just... just..."
But I don't even dare to gamble on that one in ten thousand possibility.
Boom boom!
Xie Mi tapped Chen Yuqing's forehead with the other end of the spoon, interrupting his panic.
It's funny.
"Why are you so nervous? I'm not angry."
"You sent Xiaoyou away thoughtfully and even took time to say goodbye to me. You handled everything very well and maturely."
"Zhongchen, I now recognize that you have grown up, and this time I am serious."
"Unlike the previous two times, you are already a little adult. I believe you will take good care of yourself."
Xie Mi leaned back in his chair, tilted his head and smiled brightly and generously.
"So I accept your goodbye, and I will leave today!"
In fact, even if Chen Yuqing didn't say it, she was planning to leave today.
A tacit understanding was formed unintentionally.
Chen Yuqing was stunned. When Xie Mi said the word "leave", a huge sense of loss swept over him like a tide.
He subconsciously picked up a piece of dessert and put it into his mouth, as if trying to suppress the bitterness, but to no avail.
"So……"
Sensing the boy's sadness, Xie Mi thought about doing something to lighten the atmosphere.
His gaze swept around and fell on Chen Yuqing's cell phone on the table, a smile appearing in his eyes.
She picked up the phone on the table, moved over, put her arms around Chen Yuqing's shoulders, and held the phone high.
"Let's take a picture as a farewell. Are you ready? Eggplant--"
“Crack—”
The photo froze, and the girl in the camera closed her eyes again as expected.
The boy was still in a daze, with a fork in his mouth, staring at the camera in surprise and panic.
Xie Mi had already begun to view and comment on the photos. Chen Yuqing's gaze fell on the photo in a daze. He suddenly thought of something and his hand holding the fork dropped weakly.
He didn't seem at all calm.
This was clearly the result he wanted, and he had clearly prepared for it, but when he truly realized that separation was approaching, he began to get afraid.
Perhaps he overestimated his ability to bear it.
I also underestimated...
He couldn't help but turn his head and peek at the girl next to him.
She is still the same, her eyes are bright and beautiful when she smiles, and her every frown and smile is exactly the same as in my memory.
Always bright, always full of vitality, always like a wind that dispels the darkness, bringing him hope and light, but it is far away and out of reach.
But this time, he really wanted to reach out and touch the wind.
It was not until this moment that he finally dared to face his own heart.
He fell in love with Sixth Sister.
Secret love is like a sour lemon, which will breed a subtle and dense bitterness in the heart. Even though you don’t want to admit it, it still exists strongly.
It is her escape from wanting to admit that she is the older sister, her stubbornness in not wanting to be just the younger brother, and it is the excitement of her first love.
It’s first love.
