Speaking of first love, I should be Zhou Mo’s first love.
She and I were classmates in first grade, living across the street from each other. We grew up as clueless kids, then into naive teenagers. Why didn't we end up together? Because we knew each other too well. I always felt that our "best buddy" relationship wasn't love, even though I'd fought for her and tried to cheer her up.
Zhou Mo also asked me, what do you think it is like to like someone?
I said, no matter what, it's definitely not like this between us. Do you think if we hold hands, we'll blush and our hearts will beat fast?
Zhou Mo said "No" decisively.
After finishing my second year of high school, I moved, but I still went back to Yuanshangju to see Zhou Mo from time to time.
She and I went to see open-air movies and went into the woods, but we just caught crickets.
After my parents and Zhou Mo's parents found out, they gave us both a good scolding. Only then did I realize the difference between men and women.
I am so familiar with Zhou Mo that I never thought I would lose this friend in this life. I always felt that we would be together until death.
real.
When I was in the second year of high school, I teased her, saying that she was spoiled, had a bad temper, and was sharp-tongued, and that she would never get married in her life.
Zhou Mo swung the book, rolled it up and hit me with it.
I dodged quickly and didn't get hit. As I dodged, I said, "Why don't you just marry me and save yourself from causing trouble for others."
When I said this, it was half a joke, and half... I actually thought about it.
We have known each other since we were young, so it’s good for us to be a couple. It saves us from looking for someone else.
Dating actually takes a lot of time and energy.
Zhou Mo also said something similar.
I thought we would always be together, but God had other ideas.
It all started because I moved.
I left and Han Chen came.
If I were a girl, I would definitely like a boy who is better than me in every way.
If there is anything wrong with Han Chen, it is probably his personality.
But I have my own way of dealing with people like him. When it comes to socializing, I've never been afraid of anyone.
I can even coax someone as difficult as Zhou Mo into submission, so Han Chen is nothing to me.
As it turns out, I did.
Han Chen and I became very good friends. He is a very generous person. Although he is a little aloof at times, overall, he is not a bad person.
In the locker room, I even felt his abdominal muscles, which were indeed strong.
He said he learned it from a professional coach.
When I heard this, I became even more envious.
…
Zhou Mo didn't make the list, so her parents scolded her. They said that the college entrance examination was approaching and she couldn't slack off in the last year. They also said that girls must work hard to get into a good university and can't just go to an ok school, do nothing, and then marry someone at random.
Zhou Mo argued with her parents, saying that she had worked very hard, but Han Chen's first place was unexpected and the school ranked him first based on a single result.
Her parents said, even if there is no one else, you are still tenth, and there are nine people ahead of you.
Zhou Mo was not convinced. Perhaps it was because her efforts had been denied by her beloved parents, and she was filled with resentment and hatred, so she stubbornly said, if she didn't do well in the exam, then she didn't do well. What's wrong with getting married? Even if she had to get married, she would marry Tang Tianxi.
When his parents heard this, they wanted to slap her.
When I heard her tell me this, I inexplicably wanted to laugh, and it was a very sweet laugh, the kind that went straight to my heart.
How could I not be happy when Zhou Mo could say something like marrying me in defiance of his parents?
At that time, we were like teammates in a trench, and our confidence and trust in each other were unbreakable.
This kind of feeling is not a simple love affair, but an unshakable friendship formed by the interweaving of various complex emotions after a long period of harmonious coexistence.
We are a bit like the iron-blooded brothers in the army, the kind of friends who can trust each other with their backs and be able to live and die together.
I also thought that if we were to get married in the future, we might live a better life.
When I was preparing to discuss with her about going to the same place together to take the exam in the future.
Han Chen's existence makes everything complicated and uncertain.
Han Chen likes Zhou Mo.
I could tell from the first time I saw Zhou Mo.
I knew Han Chen earlier than Zhou Mo knew him.
Because the house Han Chen's family bought was my family's.
My parents discussed buying a house with his mother, and we two boys went to the nearby video game arcade to play.
At that time, when I went to the video game arcade, I only dared to spend a dozen dollars to play a few arcade games to satisfy my curiosity.
Han Chen is different. He buys hundreds or thousands of coins at a time.
He bought coins not only for himself but also gave me half.
Later, he gave me that famous brand wristband. It was obvious that they were from a wealthy family.
…
One time, I was talking to Zhou Mo at the stairs on the first floor of Zhou Mo's house. We were basically saying goodbye. I wanted to take the opportunity to ask Zhou Mo if he wanted to try talking.
But before I could finish my words, Han Chen came down from upstairs and interrupted me.
I greeted him, but his eyes stayed on Zhou Mo. Although it was only a glance, as a person of the same sex, I also noticed something unusual.
Zhou Mo is very beautiful.
Han Chen was obviously attracted by such a beautiful girl.
But I am different. I know Zhou Mo is very beautiful, but I have seen a lot since I was a child and I am immune to it.
But Han Chen's gaze let me know that Zhou Mo's beauty was even more stunning.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to attract the attention of someone like Han Chen who is taciturn and not good at socializing.
I have been begging to graduate quickly. Han Chen will definitely return to the capital. When that time comes, Zhou Mo and I will stay in Dongjiang, and no one will be a hindrance to us.
However, I underestimated Han Chen's thoughts and determination.
He confessed to me just before Tian Linlin's birthday.
He said he liked Zhou Mo.
I asked him, “Why are you telling me this?”
He said: "It's nothing, I just have something stuck in my heart and I have no one to talk to, so I want to speak it out."
But I understood that he clearly wanted to swear or warn me about something, such as... his ownership of Zhou Mo.
But he was unwilling to say it too bluntly, and obviously didn't want to completely break up with me.
We also have a tacit understanding.
And... Zhou Mo and Han Chen have indeed been together frequently in recent times.
It seems that Zhou Mo's hatred for Han Chen for failing to make the list is not as strong as before.
Zhou Mo told me before that Han Chen said a lot of ambiguous words like "I like her", and I knew that Han Chen was also "confessing" to Zhou Mo.
All of this came to mind when I replied to her, “Really?”
Han Chen seemed to have a kind of confidence that he would win over Zhou Mo, and this kind of confidence made me feel ashamed of myself.
I was obviously her childhood sweetheart, but in the end, I was the one who withdrew.
At Tian Linlin's birthday party, Han Chen received a call from Zhou Mo's parents confirming whether Zhou Mo was safe, and asked Han Chen to send Zhou Mo back as soon as possible.
At that moment, I felt like I was finished.
You know, that was my "mission" before.
I never thought that I would lose Zhou Mo just by moving.
