Xia Xue is indeed a girl who is likable at first sight. She is beautiful, enthusiastic, cheerful, and kind, like a red rose that you can't let go of. When you muster up the courage to get close to her, you unexpectedly discover the thorns hidden on the flower stem. You want to stop, but you can't.
Taozi is a girl who catches your eye the first time you meet her. She is graceful, reserved, tender, and pure, like a lily blooming in the mountains, so ordinary yet so outstanding. You can't help but be attracted to her, and you can smell her fragrance when you get close to her. You want to leave, but you can't bear to.
My mother was now very fond of Xia Xue, the red rose, and Xia Xue was also very sweet. She called my mother "Auntie" all the time, which made my mother very happy. The two of them quickly became close friends who could talk about anything, pointing at me and laughing secretly while chatting. I guess my mother told me the embarrassing things I did when I was a child, such as wetting the bed at the age of six.
After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, everyone was almost drunk. My father stood up shakily to pay the bill, then took a taxi to send us to school, and reminded us: "Don't let the teacher find out that you are drunk, be smart!" Mom pulled me aside and whispered: "Xia Xue is a good girl, you have to treat her well. Of course, don't delay your studies. I just asked, Xia Xue's grades are much better than yours, you can ask her for advice when you have nothing to do! Also, Xia Xue's parents are both civil servants, you have to seize this opportunity to make a name for yourself in the future..."
"Mom, that's enough." I quickly stopped her from continuing: "Go and help my dad, he's drunk a lot." My mom then ran to my dad, scolding him, "Why did you drink so much?" while carefully helping him. My mom is not well educated, and her thinking is typical of small peasants. She is impatient but soft-hearted, but overall she is still a good mother to me.
My parents took a car back to Dongguan Town, and we drove to Chengnan High School. The taxi stopped at the school gate, and we got out and walked towards the teaching building. This group of people were very cunning and deliberately left Xia Xue and me behind. I looked at Xia Xue's red face and whispered, "Don't mind it, my mother is that kind of person, so shallow."
Xia Xue laughed and said, "No, I think Auntie is very nice. I wish my mom was as open-minded as Auntie."
I knew she was talking about my mom agreeing to our relationship and wanting us to get engaged. I remembered her crying and running behind the police car yesterday, and her emotional confession of "Wang Hao, I'll wait for you to come back. I'm not with Su Xiaobai." My heart was filled with tenderness. It's okay to have thorns, even if I get hurt, I'm willing!
I couldn't help but want to hold her hand, but as soon as I touched her fingertips, Xia Xue gently shook it away.
"What's wrong?" I asked her confusedly.
"Wang Hao." Xia Xue said, "Don't believe everything you hear. I'm not with Su Xiaobai. He came to me and said he wanted to get back together with me, but I didn't agree because I knew I didn't love him at all. Yes, he was the one who dumped me first in the garden that day, but even if he didn't dump me, I would still break up with him because I already knew I liked you at that time."
Listening to Xia Xue's confession, my heart was filled with tenderness and emotion, and I couldn't help but hold her hand.
But Xia Xue gently shook him off again and continued, "Wang Hao, I know I have a bad temper and I get angry every other day. But don't I just want you to coax me? I like the feeling of being held in someone's hands, I like the feeling of being pampered and loved. Isn't this what a girl desires most? Wang Hao, why can't you give it to me?"
Last time we broke up, I coaxed Xia Xue several times, but it didn't work, so I thought I'd deal with Maizi first, so I ignored her for a few days. It turned out she was still upset about it. I apologized and said, "I'm sorry. I was busy planning a plan with Ye Zhan and the others to deal with Maizi, so I thought I'd come to you after I dealt with Maizi, and then we could be together at ease."
Xia Xue nodded: "I know. When I heard that you stabbed Mai Zi and were taken away by the police car, I understood everything. I knew what big thing you were busy with and what kind of sacrifices and efforts you made for us. Because of this, I became more determined to be with you. I ran after the police car in front of all the teachers and students in the school. I just wanted to tell you that no matter when, I will wait for you to come back and I will be with you!"
What a red rose full of thorns, yet so fascinating! My blood boiled, and I couldn't help but stretch out my arms to hug her on campus. But Xia Xue took a step back, avoiding my passionate and touching hug.
"Wang Hao." Xia Xue said word by word: "Tell me, do you like peaches?"
I was stunned for a moment. I never expected that Xia Xue would ask such a question.
"I saw you hugging her." Xia Xue said sadly: "Wang Hao, do you know? The look in your eyes when you looked at her showed helplessness, reluctance, shame, and love. Do you know? That's the expression of falling in love with someone but not being able to be with her. Wang Hao, so I want to ask you, who do you like, me or Taozi?"
I opened my mouth but didn't say anything. I had been thinking about this question in the police station all night, but I still had no answer.
"You can't answer, right?" Xia Xue said, "I hate myself for discovering this. Before this, I thought you were with Taozi just to piss me off. Even the time you spent a whole day writing Shakespeare notes for Taozi, it only made me feel a little resentful and jealous. But this time, I discovered that your feelings for Taozi are different."
