September 16, 2018, sunny
Notes from the first day of love: Happiness is looking forward to tomorrow.
——Excerpt from Tao Shuran’s Diary
*
Tao Shuran shuddered.
The slightly receding temperature crept down from her slender white neck again. Next to Liang Yuanjing, she suspected that she was about to melt.
Her fluttering eyelashes looked as lovely as the flapping wings of a butterfly in Liang Yuanjing's eyes.
He chuckled softly in her ear, completely unaware of how seductive he looked.
Liang Yuanjing asked curiously, "Tao Shuran, why is your face so red?"
The answer he got was Tao Shuran's fleeing back.
Liang Yuanjing watched her leave with his arms folded, the smile on his face still lingering. He thought her reactions at times were simply adorable.
He casually asked, "Are those photos of you?"
Tao Shuran's whole body froze, and she felt the coldness of her blood rushing up. She clenched her teeth and uttered a "hmm" after a long while.
The joy and happiness just now are gone.
"Senior year, on the playground, those same photos?"
Tao Shuran nodded with difficulty.
"I don't think it's a big deal." The drawn-out tone was very much in line with Liang Yuanjing's lazy and eccentric personality. He raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder, his tone very relaxed.
"Look up and see that every cloud in the sky has a thousand different shapes. You are still you. It doesn't matter what you look like."
"Every time I'm in a flight simulator, I look out the window at the scenery and think, 'Life is just this moment.'"
Tao Shuran looked up at him, his eyebrows and eyes were particularly delicate against the backlight. In the eyes of others, he was distant and cold, even cold and arrogant.
But the man she looked at was so gentle.
People do live in the present, and at this moment, Tao Shuran listened to the echo resonating deep in her chest - she liked him very much.
Liang Yuanjing suddenly had an idea: "I'll take you to the flight simulator in a couple of days."
"Okay." Tao Shuran said softly, "I think it's nice to be a cloud."
Liang Yuanjing chuckled softly.
Tao Shuran stretched out his hand and touched the blue sky, and the scene of him flying a plane through the clouds seemed to appear before his eyes.
If possible, she would like to be a cloud, accompanied by the flowing light, day and night.
Tao Shuran suddenly thought with some sadness——
Who will he fall in love with?
Who can be so happy?
*
The news that Liang Yuanjing beat Xu Yanyang on the spot spread like wildfire in the school. Although it was not a conflict that occurred in the school, the management of the flight class has always been known for its strict military style.
According to regulations, Liang Yuanjing was put in solitary confinement for three days.
When the punishment came out, it was said that Liang Yuanjing did not object, but took off his training clothes and went alone.
Tao Shu later heard all this news from Zhao Zhengnian.
On the way home from get out of class, she looked at him a little embarrassedly and said, "If you have something to do, just go ahead and do it. You don't have to wait for me here."
"I'm fine. It's just that Ajing is worried about you. He's afraid that if he goes in, those dishonest people will come out and talk nonsense again."
Zhao Zhengnian looked around: "I have to keep an eye on Xu Yanyang to see if he's causing you any trouble. Oh, and has Fang Qingyi come to see you?"
"She's waiting for me at the school gate, and we're going to have dinner later."
Tao Shuran paused, glancing at him as if he wanted to say something, but Zhao Zhengnian clapped his hands without any hesitation.
"Okay, take me with you, I'm hungry."
In the restaurant, Fang Qingyi bit her chopsticks, and the three of them sat together looking at each other.
She asked, "What are you doing here? Do you know that Ranran and I have a lot of little secrets of girls to talk about?"
Zhao Zhengnian scoffed, "What secret are you hiding from me? Fang Qingyi, I even know how old you were when you stopped wearing diapers."
Fang Qingyi rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Well, this is the bad thing about living together. Her mother is really talkative and tells everything.
"Ranran, try this ice cream toast, it's really delicious."
Tao Shuran took a piece of food with his fork and was a little absent-minded while eating.
Zhao Zhengnian caught a glimpse of this and said casually, "Are you still worried about Ajing? I tell you, putting him in solitary confinement is a common occurrence for him, you know?"
Seeing the two girls looking at him at the same time, Zhao Zhengnian paused in his eating, put down his knife and fork, and couldn't help but say something more.
"Do you know Liang Yuanjing's mother? She's been very strict with him since he was a kid. Ms. Li never hits or scolds anyone. She uses the same temperament as the company to discipline subordinates. If they make a mistake or disobey, she grabs the collar and locks them in a room to reflect. When they come out to admit their mistakes, the matter is over."
"How terrifying!" Fang Qingyi smacked her lips. "Looking at it this way, Liang Yuanjing's life is actually quite hard."
"How does the saying go?"
"Everyone thinks he is happy, which is the greatest unhappiness."
Tao Shuran lowered his head and listened silently for a while, then suddenly asked, "Do you know where Liang Yuanjing's dream came from?"
"Oh, that's because his grandfather, a great air force soldier, always took Jing with him after he retired from the army. I guess his interest and hobby was developed at that time."
"Grandpa hasn't been in good health these past two years." Zhao Zhengnian pointed to his head and whispered, "He has Alzheimer's and can't remember things."
Tao Shuran suddenly realized.
So among his peers, he always seemed a little too anxious, and his persistent pursuit of soaring into the sky seemed to have reached a critical point.
It turns out that everything has a traceable path.
Tao Shuran found that she needed to understand Liang Yuanjing a little better.
I began to understand his fragility and paranoia, which were hidden beneath his high-spirited self-confidence.
And these backgrounds together constitute the unique sense of reality that she likes him.
Tao Shuran had a faint smile on her lips, and the girl's emotions were like the spring scenery passing by.
*
The so-called confinement room is an abandoned storage room next to the training ground.
The door was locked, and three meals a day were delivered at fixed times.
Tao Shuran wandered here for a long time, so long that the boy on duty at the door had already noticed her. Finally, when she pretended to pass by unintentionally for the 23rd time, the boy on duty couldn't help but call her.
"That girl, yes, you."
"Are you lost? I see you've been wandering around here."
The boy was quite considerate and found a reason for her.
Tao Shuran pinched the corner of her clothes, pursed her lips, slowly raised her head and said, "No, I'm here to find my boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? The one inside."
The boy immediately realized: "You are talking about Liang Yuanjing."
Tao Shuran nodded slightly, still a little uncomfortable with this identity.
She put the insulated box in the boy's hand and asked him in a pleading tone, "If possible, please take this to him."
"This doesn't go against the rules." The boy tutted and jokingly said, "But I'll be the guardian of love again."
"Two dishes and a soup, and your favorite shrimp, which is already peeled."
In the confinement room, the boy sat cross-legged in front of Liang Yuanjing, and sighed, "How meticulous! Are you envious of me to death?"
Liang Yuanjing glanced at him and said, "Why, it's your turn to come in for a few days?"
"Then I can't bear this kind of suffering. You said you were really willing to risk your life for your beloved." The boy glanced at her and said casually, "Do you think the aunt in our school cafeteria has such good cooking skills?"
Liang Yuanjing paused holding the chopsticks.
He glanced out the window with a sense of something in his heart. The high walls were a depressing white, with only a small skylight near the top of his head.
Looking up, you can see clouds floating in all directions.
Liang Yuanjing put down his chopsticks and called out, "Tao Shuran."
There was immediately a rustling noise behind the wall. After a while, a muffled voice came through the wall. It was Tao Shuran saying, "I'm here."
Liang Yuanjing sighed lightly and smiled helplessly.
The boy couldn't stand it and waved his hands to show that he refused this dog food.
After they left, the room became quiet again. Liang Yuanjing sat down against the wall, supporting himself with one leg, and asked her in a very soft voice:
"Have you been crying these past two days?"
Tao Shuran's eyelashes trembled violently. At this moment, all her cowardly grievances seemed to be brought out again by his words.
She suppressed the sourness in her nose and said, "I won't cry anymore."
Liang Yuanjing hummed, "It's normal to feel a little sad after a breakup."
Tao Shuran asked him curiously: "Have you ever been in love?"
"No." He said frankly.
"So what kind of girl will you like in the future?"
"have no idea."
Tao Shuran said "Oh" in a low voice, and the topic fell into place. The quiet atmosphere was accompanied by the sound of cicadas chirping on the tree branches.
After a while, Liang Yuanjing comforted her.
"Tao Shuran, there will definitely be someone who cherishes you."
After the mosquito had eaten its 18th dinner of the day, Tao Shuran slapped it and sent it to heaven.
As the sky gradually darkened, Liang Yuanjing said softly, "You can go back."
Tao Shuran responded obediently and slowly stood up from the grass.
After hesitating for a while, she whispered, "Liang Yuanjing, I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Because of the wall between them, Tao Shuran thought Liang Yuanjing didn't hear it.
Unexpectedly, a low laugh came from the other side. Liang Yuanjing raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of indulgence in his tone.
"Then I'm kind of looking forward to tomorrow."
*
Three days were longer than Tao Shuran had imagined.
On the day Liang Yuanjing officially returned, several girls in the same dormitory urged her to go and pick him up.
Luo Qiuya said: "It's better to bring a big bouquet of flowers so that the whole school can know how much you love each other."
"This is too high-profile."
Tao Shuran shook his head and finally rejected the proposal on the grounds that it would be too conspicuous.
Luo Qiuya said, "Your relationship is so unfamiliar, it's nothing like others."
Tao Shuran smiled and explained, "Everyone's way of falling in love is different."
Luo Qiuya reluctantly accepted this answer. She was always enthusiastic about things for a short time and her interest would soon shift to other things.
Seeing this, Tao Shuran breathed a sigh of relief.
She just bit her lower lip in a dilemma, having to act like a loving couple while pretending that she didn't like him.
Her path of secretly loving Liang Yuanjing was filled with many difficulties.
In the evening, Fang Qingyi called and said that they had all set up a party to wash away Liang Yuanjing's bad luck and welcome Fu Changpei's return.
She chattered excitedly and turned on the video to ask Tao Shuran to help her choose clothes.
Infected by this atmosphere, Tao Shuran couldn't help but open the wardrobe and asked her, "Which one do you think looks good on me?"
"That high-slit slip dress." Fang Qingyi said without hesitation, "You have fair skin, so it will definitely look good on you."
Tao Shuran asked hesitantly: "Isn't it too revealing? I've never worn this style before."
Fang Qingyi promised: "It will definitely look good."
This skirt was bought by Tao Shuran and Fang Qingyi when they were shopping on the day they graduated from high school. She was a little bored while waiting that day, so she picked up a dress to try on and bought it on impulse. Later, she put it in the closet and never wore it again.
On the way there, Fang Qingyi sat in a taxi and used a small mirror to apply foundation.
The small brush swept across her eyes. Tao Shuran blinked uncomfortably and felt her cheeks a little itchy.
But thinking about meeting him soon, my heart became excited and expectant.
When she was about to enter the room, Tao Shuran suddenly became nervous. She stood at the door and was embarrassed to come in.
Fang Qingyi glanced at her and asked, "Are you embarrassed at this time?"
"Why weren't you shy when you agreed to be in a relationship?"
"It's just a fake relationship." Tao Shuran continued, "What would you do if the person you like came to your rescue and told you that we're pretending to be in a relationship?"
"I would kiss him, then wipe my mouth and tell him, 'Ah, is this a fake relationship? It feels real when we kiss.'"
"That's a bit of a rogue."
Liang Yuanjing pushed the door open and walked out, just hearing these words. He snorted softly and naturally reached out to pull the person over.
Turning his head, he said to Fang Qingyi, "Don't teach the little ones bad things."
Fang Qingyi teased, "Are you going to protect her already?"
Liang Yuanjing said generously: "I'm sorry, I'm just a home protector."
Fang Qingyi rolled her eyes and consciously withdrew from their atmosphere.
Is this really a fake love?
Are you kidding her?
When there were only the two of them left in the world, Tao Shuran was a little at a loss and didn't know how to get along with Liang Yuanjing.
Liang Yuanjing took the initiative to ask her: "Are these clothes new?"
When he asked about the dress, Tao Shuran became even more uncomfortable. Her fair shoulders shrank and her lips moved slightly.
"It's not new. I bought it before and never wore it. I just happened to be meeting you today..."
At this point, Tao Shuran was stuck. She bit her lower lip in embarrassment and thought to herself that she had spoken out of turn, as if she had dressed up carefully for him today.
Although it is true.
Liang Yuanjing lowered his head. The height difference between them allowed him to see all of her expressions, tangled and awkward. He never knew that she, who was always quiet, had such a rich heart.
He couldn't help but laugh softly.
"very beautiful."
It's a relief.
Tao Shuran looked up in disbelief and asked him in a daze, "Really?"
Liang Yuanjing raised his eyebrows, supported his hands behind his head and stretched his neck, and his tone was drawn out, sounding as if he was coaxing someone.
"Mr. Tao, is my first compliment to a girl so unconvincing?"
Tao Shuran's heart felt as sweet as if it were soaked in a jar of honey.
"There are a few of my friends in there, do you mind?"
Tao Shuran shook her head and looked at him with wet eyes, as defenseless as a deer.
Liang Yuanjing was hit by the attack and couldn't help laughing.
Once again, I sighed: "Tao Shuran, why are you so obedient?"
Everything he says is good, as if he has no bad temper at all.
Because it is so good, people always have the desire to protect it.
"Liang Yuanjing has been out for so long, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"That's right, didn't this guy say he was going to pick up his girlfriend? He wouldn't leave us alone to date his girlfriend, would he?"
"This guy is so ungrateful."
The sound from the box came out, and Tao Shuran felt a little embarrassed, and a thin layer of heat appeared on his face.
She pushed Liang Yuanjing and urged in a low voice, "Let's go in."
Before going in, Liang Yuanjing gave her a shot of prevention.
"I can't hide the news of my relationship, so my friends might be more enthusiastic."
Tao Shuran said "Oh" and thought as he pushed the door open, how enthusiastic can they be?
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered, the crackling and deafening applause almost overturned the whole room.
Everyone sitting in the room shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the savior for coming and subduing the demon Liang Yuanjing."
Tao Shuran opened his mouth and asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"
Victim 1 replied: "When I was in the third grade of junior high school, I had a crush on a girl. In the end, I confessed my love to her and she said she loved my brother."
Victim 2 replied: "During training, there was a girl who brought me water on the playground every day. I immediately knew she had a crush on me. I waited from junior high school until I graduated from high school, but nothing happened. I only found out the last two days that the water was from Liang Yuanjing, who didn't want it anymore. She bought it to avoid wasting it, so she gave it to me."
…
Liang Yuanjing knocked on the table: "Save some face."
He coughed lightly and hinted, "The person is still here."
A few conspicuous people immediately shut up and shouted together, like a supporting role, "But, we Liang Yuanjing refuse everyone who comes! We are as chaste as jade!"
Tao Shuran laughed.
I feel that he is more like the sun, and he is surrounded by a group of good friends.
The dinner was very pleasant, and Tao Shuran rarely felt so relaxed.
Because of the change in their relationship, she was pushed to sit closest to Liang Yuanjing. He took off his coat and hung it behind the back of her chair, with one arm stretched out and lazily resting on it. Occasionally, he turned his head and asked her what she liked to eat.
Tao Shuran was overwhelmed by the feeling of happiness.
Only the last bit of her remaining rationality told her that the happier she was at this moment, the sadder she would be in the future.
When the party was about to end, everyone was a little drunk, and several people were so dizzy that they could not stand steadily.
Tao Shuran asked for the address, called a taxi for them, and asked them to send a message when they arrived.
"Sister-in-law, I don't think I have your WeChat yet. Come on, let's add one."
There seems to be no reason to refuse.
Tao Shuran pulled up the QR code and handed it over. The boy opposite just took out his phone, and Liang Yuanjing lazily stretched out his hand to block it.
He raised his chin slightly, his tone cold.
"They can just tell me directly later."
My friend couldn't help but complain: "No way, brother, you are so possessive."
Liang Yuanjing snorted, stuffed the person into the car, and closed the door neatly.
His eyes were bright and clear beneath the drooping car window, and he laughed and scolded, "You don't have girlfriends, so you don't understand."
