Really, no lie?
(Small Theater) Pen Pal ~ Lei
Who hasn't had a close pen pal during their school days? Who hasn't had a secret crush during their youth? Happily, my pen pal is the person I like. And what I look forward to most during this time is the quiet of night, when I can write on various types of stationery, expressing my youthful thoughts. It's also from this period that the once burly, succinct boy begins to express tenderness, affection, and ingenuity.
Every day I would first look at what she wrote, and then think about how to respond. This is a science, and even if I didn't study at the time, I would have mastered it. Unfortunately, my handwriting has always been ugly, and to this day, there has been no improvement. You can say that the handwriting reflects the person. Naturally, a promising student at Tsinghua University and Peking University fell into decline. I didn't even do my homework, and I was completely absorbed in studying, studying the unique knowledge about her.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Lin Lei said as he walked towards the door, as if he was afraid that the bathroom would be taken away if he was late.
"Come on, squad leader, please eat. Since you don't drink, why don't you eat more? I feel bad for you for being so thin." Jiang Yiheng said with a flattering look on his face.
Qi Yue thought to herself, "You might be shortsighted. I've gained two pounds since I took the photo. I haven't lost any weight at all. It's just that we haven't seen each other for such a long time that you can't tell I'm fat or thin."
Qiyue didn't want to spoil everyone's fun. After all, it had been so long since they last saw each other. The last time they got together was probably five years ago. For the past five years, Qiyue had been pushing back on junior high school reunions whenever possible. If she left midway through this one, there probably wouldn't be another one, at least not one with so many people.
"I'm back." As Lin Lei took his seat, Qi Yue's thoughts were drawn back to the present moment. Looking at the classmates present, she felt like she was back in junior high school, a place both familiar and unfamiliar. If it weren't for the desire to avoid being alone, perhaps such gatherings would be a regular occurrence!
"Classmates, I'm sorry again this time."
Qi Yue lowered her head silently, took out her phone and typed a few words quietly: "Brother, I want to go home."
"After typing these words, I feel much more relaxed. All I have to do is wait quietly. It will only take five minutes. In five minutes, I can walk out of this door."
During that wait, Qiyue saw the importance of a class working together. As the saying goes, a successful class is one where everyone is united, united as one, resisting external enemies. And so, Li Bin had walked right into the crosshairs. From the moment the spearhead was pointed at Qiyue, he had become the class's common enemy. And this battle was kicked off by Lin Lei. Afterward, Li Bin was naturally toasted by Jiang Yiheng, Zhuangzhong, and the unleashed Lin Lei. In this 1v3 situation, the outcome was predictable. Li Bin was now completely confused.
Time passed by minute by minute, and several rounds of drinks had passed, but the person who was supposed to come still didn't show up. Qi Yue was surprised.
Lin Lei stood up and said, "It's getting late today, and everyone's had enough to drink, so let's go first. The leader just got off the car today and must be very tired. Go back and rest early. We will continue tomorrow. Anyway, no one will leave during the New Year period, so we have plenty of time."
"There's no time, you'd better ignore me and pretend I don't exist. Don't call my name anymore, just treat me as an invisible person. Also, it's not everyone who is drunk, it's you who made Li Bin drunk." Qi Yue looked at Li Bin pitifully and sighed silently as an apology.
"Are you right, leader?"
"Good job, well done." Qi Yue thought.
Qi Yue gritted her teeth and said, "You are right."
Tong Xiaoxiao: "Then Tang Ke, Li Bin, Jiang Yiheng and I will go together. We're all going the same way. Qiyue, your brother..."
"I'll take the squad leader there, and you guys just leave it alone."
As he spoke, he put clothes and scarf on Qi Yue, not caring whether they were worn correctly or not, as long as they were not worn wrongly, beauty was not important, the most important thing was speed, it had to be fast.
"No need for that, I can do it myself..."
Before she could finish her words, Qi Yue was pushed out by Lin Lei, leaving only the words "see you later".
"Sanshi, slow down and don't bump into the squad leader." Zhuangzhong said quickly.
Jiang Yiheng gave a solemn look and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll go with you and stop by halfway."
The sky tonight is really dark, but the lights on the roadside are particularly bright.
"Boss, do you want to take a taxi or walk?"
"Well, I can actually do it myself..."
"Let's walk."
As he spoke, he pulled Qi Yue and quickly walked around a corner. When everyone came out, Lin Lei and Qi Yue just missed the intersection with the others.
Qi Yue pulled back her hand and walked slowly beside Lin Lei. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it turned out that she really didn't know what to say when they met again.
"Leader, walking with you like this feels like a lifetime ago. It's really not easy. I've been looking forward to it for so long. Finally, I can walk side by side with you on the streets of my hometown again."
Qi Yue smiled calmly: "It's not that exaggerated."
Lin Lei took a big step and walked in front of Qi Yue. He turned around and stood still, staring at Qi Yue and said, "It's true. We haven't walked together for a long, long time."
Qi Yue looked into Lin Lei's eyes. They looked like a grown-up boy. What does that mean? He was in his early twenties, so he looked like a grown-up boy, didn't he? His eyes were blazing and bright, just like the stars tonight, so bright and dazzling that it made people lose their minds for a moment. "When was the last time I saw those eyes? Or did I really look at them properly? What did the boy in my memory look like? It's been a while, I can't remember clearly."
Seeing Qi Yue remain silent, Lin Lei called out softly, "Leader."
Qi Yue was stunned for a moment: "Oh, really? Then she walked forward silently."
Lin Lei kept talking intermittently along the way, and Qi Yue answered him in a disjointed manner, completely uninterested in listening to what he was saying. Why is the way home so long today? It seems like it will never end.
"We're here, leader."
Qi Yue thought to herself, "We're here! That's great! Let's say goodbye and leave."
"Well, thank you today..."
"Leader, I'll take you upstairs."
Qi Yue was startled and spoke incoherently, "Go upstairs. No need, no need, really no need. Just send it here. Someone is waiting for you at home. Oh, no, no, you have other things to do. Just leave quickly. Really no need..."
Without waiting for Qi Yue to finish speaking, he pulled Qi Yue up and walked into the building entrance.
Qi Yue used all her strength to grab Lin Lei and said, "Really, just send it here. It's already very troublesome."
"If I send my parents back again, it would be bad if they see me when they come downstairs. Do I have to explain to them, Mom and Dad, please don't misunderstand me, he has a girlfriend, and then explain why he sent me back? It's too troublesome just thinking about it."
Qi Yue turned around and was about to step onto the first step, but was pulled back by a huge force, and stumbled into Lin Lei's arms.
"Really, if she goes upstairs, she might never have another chance in her life. No, she can't go up this floor, at least not now." Lin Lei thought.
With Lin Lei's support, Qi Yue stood still.
"Boss, I have something to tell you. Um, could you please close your eyes for a moment?"
Qi Yue opened her eyes wide and thought, "Are you crazy? How is this possible? We've seen this scene on TV before. Our generation is the one that has been accompanied by idol dramas."
Qi Yue responded evasively: "Anything else? It's a bit cold. I want to go upstairs. Call me if you have anything."
"Yeah, only when I'm on the phone can I ignore unwanted calls at any time, pretending I didn't hear them and then forgetting about them. I have to read the text when I send messages, which shows how much I don't want to have anything to do with him. To be more precise, anything to do with him since he has a girlfriend."
Lin Lei grabbed Qi Yue's hand. Qi Yue tried to break free, but found that she didn't have enough strength. Lin Lei held her wrist tightly. Really, if his eyes were not gentle, he would definitely be ready to fight. There was no guarantee that there wouldn't be casualties. It was estimated that if necessary, the residents of the building would be alarmed.
Qi Yue was about to speak when she felt warmth in her palm.
After a moment, Lin Lei took Qi Yue's hand and placed it on his chest inside his clothes. Qi Yue's palm touched Lin Lei's chest nakedly, on his left chest.
In such a quiet night, Qi Yue could feel the scorching temperature from Lin Lei's chest transmitted through her palms, like a stove, flowing warmth to every part of Qi Yue's body. At the same time, she could also hear the sound of Lin Lei's powerful heartbeat, which beat loudly and powerfully, again and again, and pounded Qi Yue's heart.
Suddenly at this moment, from now on, some dead memories seem to be revived.
That is to say, from this moment on, it will be the beginning of a nine-year entanglement that Qi Yue will never forget, and will feel powerless and helpless.
"Leader, I can see you tomorrow, right?"
No one would refuse such a sincere and urgent attitude, with a careful and expectant look in the eyes.
Qi Yue nodded woodenly and bewilderedly.
"It's a deal then. You must come to our party tomorrow. I'll pick you up then." There was a hint of relief in his tone.
Qi Yue quickly shook her head: "No need to pick me up, I will go."
Lin Lei looked into Qi Yue's eyes and said, "Really? I'm not lying."
Qi Yue also looked into Lin Lei's eyes: "Really, I'm not lying."
Under the light of the corridor, it seems like I have returned to the past when I wore school uniform, had a ponytail and a crew cut.
Lin Lei wrapped Qi Yue tightly in his clothes, adjusted his scarf, and instructed her, "It's cold outside, hurry up and go upstairs. I'll wait until you close the door before I leave, so I can rest assured. Also, you must reply to the messages I send you. It's okay if you reply to one out of ten messages I send you. It's also okay if you don't reply at all. Or you can just send an emoji to let me know you saw it and that you were around me, okay?"
Lin Lei asked carefully, fearing that if he asked too much, he would be blacklisted again. That was what he feared most. He would be helpless.
"Can I? Or should I ask, can I?" "No" was about to come out of my mouth, but when I looked at Lin Lei, I couldn't say it in the end."
Really, this feeling has been missing for so long, so long that it makes people forget what day it is, forget the previous bond between the two of them, and subconsciously mistakenly believe that the meeting was just yesterday, and today is just ordinary.
Sure enough, if dead memories are resurrected, it will have the most powerful impact, making people just want to enjoy this moment of indulgence.
Qi Yue nodded: "Okay."
Don't make promises lightly, and once you make one, you must fulfill it. Promises that cannot be fulfilled are no different from lies.
