Chapter 12 Notebook "Let's be friends, now?" ...
November 1, 2017: Cloudy
In a person's life, there is only one summer, with the wind blowing in his arms and his heart beating all over the sky. Apart from that, the rest is just like that.
——Excerpt from Tao Shuran’s Diary
*
Not expecting to see him here, Tao Shuran stood there in a daze, with astonishment unconcealed in his eyes.
Soon she smiled, and the shallow dimples on her cheeks were faintly visible.
Liang Yuanjing's gaze paused on her face for a moment, then he asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Tao Shuran then realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly lowered his head and took a step back.
With her eyes lowered, it was at this moment that she finally saw what kind of condition he was in.
Maybe because it was hot, Liang Yuanjing only wore a simple white T-shirt with a loose collar, and the pants he wore should be Fu Changpei's.
He was taller than Fu Changpei, and his trouser legs were shorter, revealing his cold white ankles. He looked at her with his head slightly lowered, revealing a bony and cold collarbone.
He was completely immersed in darkness, staring at her with heavy eyes, feeling an indescribable energy.
Tao Shuran's gaze was captivated, and he took two steps back in panic, leaning against the cold wall.
Liang Yuanjing then chuckled.
With a "click", the light in the living room was turned on and Fu Changpei walked out of the room.
I asked casually: "Ajing, why don't you turn on the light?"
It turned out that Fu Changpei was there too, and Tao Shuran breathed a sigh of relief.
The lights came on, and only then could she see his face clearly.
Liang Yuanjing said lazily: "Just woke up."
He put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly to the kitchen. He poured a glass of ice water with ease. He supported himself on the table with his hands, his Adam's apple rolling, and drank the water while looking at her.
Tao Shuran felt extremely embarrassed, and felt that the heat on her face was about to burn her whole body.
She didn't know if she noticed something, and she didn't dare to speak for a moment.
She just lowered her head and looked at him vaguely.
Liang Yuanjing put down his cup and asked nonchalantly, "Have you seen enough?"
Tao Shuran was stunned for a moment, then he noticed that his white T-shirt was light and translucent.
And where her eyes fell was exactly that narrow and thin waist.
"no……"
Before she could finish, Liang Yuanjing added a hook to the end of his tone, and it was obvious that he was teasing her.
Deliberately said: "You take this as a reward?"
Thinking back to the scene just now, Tao Shuran's temperature, which had just dropped, rose again.
Her whole body turned red, she stuffed the chicken soup into Fu Changpei's hand, turned around and ran away.
Her back looked like she was fleeing in panic, and anyone could see her panic.
Fu Changpei, who witnessed the whole process, was helpless: "Don't bully me."
Liang Yuanjing smiled and said, "It's fun to tease her."
"Are you not afraid that she will fall in love with you?"
"How is that possible?" Liang Yuanjing said, understandingly. "When he saw me, he ran away like a quail. He even looked at the history book with more enthusiasm than he looked at me."
He jokingly said, "Master Fu, I heard that you have been working very hard to teach her recently."
"What about you? The special training won't end until mid-November." Fu Changpei changed the subject and asked him, "What are you going to do with the lessons you've missed?"
"Don't you have it?"
Liang Yuanjing joked: "To be honest, you are quite suitable to be a teacher."
Fu Changpei stretched out his hand rudely and asked him for the tuition fee.
Liang Yuanjing ignored him, took out two mints from his pocket and threw them over.
Out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of something on the table and asked, "What is this?"
Fu Changpei answered casually, "Tao Shuran's notes. Fang Qingyi borrowed them from her before."
"She said we're all in a mutual aid study group, and she made a copy and asked me to give you one too."
Liang Yuanjing didn't think much about it, took his things back to his room, and said, "I know, thank her for me later."
"Why don't you just add her QQ?"
Fu Changpei lowered his head and started a group chat.
"Among the four of us, you and she are the only ones who haven't added each other on QQ, right?"
"You still blame people for running away when they see you?"
*
With a pounding heart, Tao Shuran rushed back home.
As soon as she got home, she went into her room and calmed her troubled heart in the secluded space alone.
Finally, after a few deep breaths, his heart finally calmed down when he saw Liang Yuanjing again.
She didn't expect to meet him under such circumstances.
During this period, Tao Shuran had seen too many Liang Yuanjing. He was unrestrained and casual, and always stood on the podium shining.
But she had never seen him outside of school - his eyes were a little cold, a little frivolous, as if playful, as if nonchalant.
Although they were very close to each other, it seemed as if there was an entire galaxy between them.
Maybe this is the perspective of secret love, sometimes far and sometimes near, like a kite string held in your hand.
In the quiet night, Tao Shuran slowly turned on the computer.
As usual, she checked her mailbox first, but the inbox was empty.
Communication with Y has come to an abrupt end since the last time.
Suddenly, a notification sound of adding a friend broke the silence.
Tao Shuran's pupils suddenly tightened as he almost memorized the number, and the fingertips pressing the mouse couldn't help but tremble.
Just like that, in the unbearable trembling, she accidentally pressed the button of agreement.
Just like that, Liang Yuanjing officially added her as a friend.
What to say?
While I was hesitating, a message popped up on the other side.
"Thank you for your notes."
"You're welcome. I hope this helps you a little."
The topic seemed to stop here. Tao Shuran bit her lower lip, thought for a while, and sent another sentence.
"By the way, when will you be back to school?"
"November, what's wrong?"
Tao Shuran told him that Wen Fangfang wanted to join the study group. After a pause of a few seconds, Liang Yuanjing sent a message.
Three words: concise and neat.
"Can't."
"I can come and tutor you on weekend nights."
The implication is that no one else needs to join.
Tao Shuran knew that Liang Yuanjing was not a very warm person. He probably knew that Wen Fangfang liked him, so he rejected her without mercy.
The reason why he took the initiative to tutor her was probably because he was afraid that Wen Fangfang would really join.
Thinking of this, the joy was diluted.
"Okay, thank you. I'll write down my notes for the past two months for you."
"Okay, go to bed early."
"Well, goodnight to you too."
Saying good night to each other was a very ambiguous thing in Tao Shuran's opinion.
After saying this, her heartbeat stopped and she logged off in panic.
I opened the door and ran to the balcony to drink a bottle of cold water to suppress the throbbing.
The night wind blew against his chest, and Tao Shuran looked up at the twinkling stars, which looked like his bright eyes.
At this moment, she suddenly wanted to shout out loud - she liked Liang Yuanjing so much.
*
As November arrives and the weather turns cold, the sense of summer disappearing becomes more apparent.
But for Tao Shuran, the day Liang Yuanjing left meant the end of summer.
She hadn't seen him since October.
Naturally, he disappeared from her world.
I only occasionally get information about his current situation from the few words from Fang Qingyi and Fu Changpei.
Once, Fang Qingyi showed her Liang Yuanjing’s latest post.
In the picture, Liang Yuanjing is wearing a pilot's uniform, with his black hair scattered on his forehead. He slightly raises his chin and looks straight ahead. Under the azure sky, his outstanding face shines particularly brightly.
Fang Qingyi sighed, "If I didn't have someone in my heart, I would really fall in love with Liang Yuanjing's troublesome face."
Tao Shuran asked softly, "When will he come back?"
"It'll be soon."
Fang Qingyi said casually: "Of course, if you care so much, why don't you ask him yourself?"
Tao Shuran's eyelashes trembled: "Can I ask him?"
"Of course." Fang Qingyi said as a matter of course, "Aren't the four of us friends now?"
friend.
This word made Tao Shuran's heart tremble violently, and a strange emotion rose up.
She said in the name of a friend; "I hope everything goes well for him in training."
…
Their official meeting date was November 8th.
This was a very special day. At the beginning of the new year, when Tao Hongfeng brought a brand new calendar to her room, she had already circled this day with a red pen.
"Happy birthday, Y."
Tao Shuran quietly wrote this line in her diary.
During the break in the evening, the students all went to the cafeteria for dinner. Tao Shuran had no appetite, so Fang Qingyi dragged him to the small shop near the door to buy a drink.
Fang Qingyi held up two bottles of soda and asked her, "Ranran, which one do you want?"
Tao Shuran looked over and raised his hand to point at a bottle.
At this moment, through the heavy light and shadow, she saw Liang Yuanjing slowly walking in from outside the door.
Once your gaze is fixed, it’s hard to look away.
They hadn't seen each other for a month after the National Day. The school sent news that they had gone to a flight base in northern Beijing for closed training.
Return date uncertain.
But she kept looking forward to his return.
I didn't expect to meet you on this special day.
Liang Yuanjing walked towards the light, taking big steps and walking in a somewhat casual manner. One side of his cheek was slightly bulging, and he was biting a candy.
He tilted his head slightly to pick something on the shelf, and the sunlight made his eyes sparkle like glass beads.
"What are you looking at, Ranran?"
Following her dazed gaze, Fang Qingyi's face showed surprise.
"Liang Yuanjing, you're back!"
Her loud shout completely attracted Liang Yuanjing.
He raised his eyes, slowly cast his gaze upon them, and raised his chin slightly as a greeting.
After a while, he came over nonchalantly carrying two bottles of steaming soda.
"Thank you for your notes."
Fang Qingyi raised an eyebrow. "Then you should mainly thank Ranran. She listens very carefully in every class. In order to make the knowledge points clear for you, she even consulted the teacher and Fu Changpei."
"Xiao Yi."
Tao Shuran felt a little embarrassed by what she said and pulled her sleeve suggestively.
She doesn't want her feelings to become special because of other people's exaggeration.
Just like her secret crush on Liang Yuanjing, it would be best if it were hidden from everyone and not noticed.
"What else do you want?"
Liang Yuanjing's eyes fell on her face and he took the initiative to ask her.
Tao Shuran looked flattered and immediately waved his hand, saying, "No, no, I'm going to figure out the knowledge points in the notes by myself anyway."
Liang Yuanjing chuckled, his deep voice was pleasant to the ear.
"We're friends now, huh?"
He raised the soda bottle and clinked it with hers.
"Take what you like."
At the moment the soda bottles overlap, light and shadow pass through the glass bottles, forming a series of concentrated spots. The faint rainbow light glowing at the edges is like a budding and throbbing heart.
"Do you have any plans tonight?"
Tao Shuran's heart was pounding so hard that even the sound was trembling.
She mustered up the courage to say, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, let's get together."
Liang Yuanjing raised his eyebrows slightly.
Unexpectedly, he said "OK".
It seemed that today was not his birthday and he had no other plans.
This is totally inconsistent with Liang Yuanjing's personality of being the center of attention.
During the break before evening self-study, Fang Qingyi came over and asked mysteriously, "Did you know that today is Liang Yuanjing's birthday?"
Tao Shuran didn't say anything.
Fang Qingyi lowered her voice and continued, "Fu Changpei and I plan to celebrate his birthday."
"I heard from Fu Changpei that Liang Yuanjing doesn't have a close relationship with his family. No one from his family came back for his birthday."
But how to get through it?
This was a very daunting problem. Several of them were students and could not leave the school. They learned the news too late and had no time to make arrangements in advance.
Tao Shuran said softly: "I bought a cake."
"Now? Are all the cake shops closed?"
"No, I ordered it this afternoon," she said softly, "If you need it, I can ask my dad to deliver it."
"Of course! What a coincidence."
Tao Shuran said: "Well, I just wanted to eat cake this afternoon."
Everything went smoothly afterwards, and everyone had a clear division of labor.
Fu Changpei was responsible for luring Liang Yuanjing out, while Tao Shuran and Fang Qingyi were responsible for getting the cake.
It was the first time for Tao Shuran to do such a thing during evening study, and her heart was pounding with nervousness.
The moment she got the cake, she thought that maybe her heartbeat wasn't entirely due to nervousness.
After placing the cake, footsteps were heard outside the door. Fu Changpei coughed lightly twice to give them a hint.
Seeing this, Fang Qingyi immediately turned off the lights and pulled Tao Shuran to squat down and hide by the wall.
"What are you doing, Lao Fu?"
"I'm just following orders." Fu Changpei pointed, "Go in and take a look yourself."
Liang Yuanjing snorted and walked over slowly.
There is night vision training in flight training, so even if it is pitch black, Liang Yuanjing can see the scene in the room roughly with the help of the residual light from the street lights outside.
Naturally, I also saw two little heads squatting under the desks.
The first thing he saw was Tao Shuran, a good student who was usually well-behaved. Today, he skipped classes for the first time. His fair face was slightly rumpled with two strands of hair, and his round eyes, slightly widened because of doing something bad, were as gentle as water.
He smiled as a compromise and slowly walked in the predetermined direction according to the script.
The moment he walked in front of the cake, the person hiding in the dark stood up.
"Suprise!"
"Happy birthday, Liang Yuanjing!"
Liang Yuanjing was stunned, as if he didn't expect that tonight was his birthday.
He said "hmm", with no emotion on his face, and looked down at the 6-inch birthday cake on the table.
Suddenly, he asked in an ambiguous tone, "Who bought this cake?"
"Of course it's our beautiful and kind-hearted Ranran." Fang Qingyi pushed her good sister to the front.
It was also at this time that everyone noticed the design of the cake.
The overall shape of the cake is that of a globe, with a simulated airplane model placed on the top, as if it is really flying into the sky.
Fang Qingyi exclaimed, "Of course, this cake of yours is a perfect match for Liang Yuanjing."
Tao Shuran reluctantly explained, "I saw it at the cake shop and bought it."
She carefully raised her eyes to look at him, and quietly mixed her own blessings into the sincere blessings of others.
Tao Shuran said: "Happy birthday, Captain Liang."
The corners of Liang Yuanjing's lips curled up slightly, and his gaze lingered on her for a moment.
Later, Fang Qingyi asked to light a candle. She held out her hand and asked, "Do you have a lighter?"
Liang Yuanjing looked at her innocently: "I don't smoke, why are you asking me for it?"
"What should we do then?"
Fang Qingyi turned her head and looked at Fu Changpei without hope, "Do you have it?"
In her opinion, Fu Changpei is an extremely good student.
smoke?
I guess in his world, sleeping in on weekends is a sin.
I didn't expect Fu Changpei really existed.
Fang Qingyi glanced at him casually.
The moment the candle was lit, light came on in the empty classroom.
Everyone urged him to make a wish.
Tao Shuran stood quietly aside and turned to look at Liang Yuanjing who was standing in the brightest light source.
Suddenly, for some unknown reason, Liang Yuanjing turned his head and looked at her.
He stretched out his arm, placed it across her waist, and lightly moved it forward.
In an instant, the priorities were reversed, and Tao Shuran replaced him and became the protagonist.
"I don't have any wishes."
"You bought the cake."
Liang Yuanjing stretched out his hand to protect the fire, his eyebrows and eyes were lazy, and even his voice was a little lazy, which made people feel itchy.
"You can."
