First Love (6)

  At that time, I naively thought everything was a matter of course, without realizing that I couldn't control Weixingyun's heart, nor could I control the trajectory of life.

  I don't know how to restore my relationship with Wei Xingyun to what it was before, or even make it better. I can get along with others and make friends, but trying too hard to be on good terms with someone without being too obvious is really giving me a headache.

  Later on, at a family gathering one day, I finally got inspiration from my little aunt.

  The adults had a couple of drinks, and my aunt began to talk about the secrets of making friends and doing business. "Chinese people actually attach great importance to eating. I make friends and do business mainly by eating. Everyone sits at the same table, eats and drinks, and feelings come, friends come, and business comes..."

  What she said afterwards I didn't pay attention to at all, but what she said before that the tipsy adults didn't catch, I did.

  Then Xia Miomi's food war began.

  Every day, I fill my pockets with snacks: candies, beef jerky, jellies, cookies... Seizing every opportunity to "accidentally" bump into Wei Xingyun: at the school gate early in the morning, on the way back to class after recess, in the stairwell during break time, on the way home from school... As soon as I see Wei Xingyun, I first hand over a handful of snacks.

  Of course, in order not to highlight my differential treatment, I couldn't just give it to Weixingyun, his classmates and my classmates. Since there were people around at that time, I had to distribute them one by one.

  The snack consumption in our house surged during that period, and my mom was suspicious: "Mengmeng, what's going on with you lately? Why do you bring so many snacks to school every day?"

  "Haha, I don't know why, but I've been really hungry lately. Mom, haven't you noticed that I've grown taller?"

  However, my mother still cut down on snacks at home and instead put apples and bananas in my school bag every day to replace snacks. I couldn't finish eating them, and the fruit was not convenient to carry around, so I had to ask Yang Can for help to get rid of them.

  Yang Cang ate fruit for three days in a row, and was surprised and moved: "Miao Miao, I knew it, my handsome face is hard to resist, you finally realized my goodness, are you falling in love with me? ... Ah Miao Miao, where are you going?"

  I'm going to throw up!!!!!

  I no longer dare to take snacks from home, so I buy them myself. Fortunately, my income during the New Year was quite substantial, and I can fully support my long-term purchases. However, when I took out the first batch of lollipops I bought, Wei Xingyun finally couldn't help but ask: "Xia MiMi, didn't you say last time... that you wanted to lose weight?"

  I was stunned, and it seemed like this was indeed the case: "Uh, yeah."

  "What's this...?" He pointed at the sugar in my hand.

  "Heh heh," I tugged at my hair, making up a random excuse, "It's just because I'm on a diet, so I brought all the snacks here for you guys to eat."

  "Why don't you suggest to your parents... to buy fewer snacks to bring back home."

  "Ah, haha, yeah." I smiled foolishly.

  "Or are you trying to use this method to make us all gain weight unknowingly, so that you don't have to lose weight?" he said with a smile.

  I stared at his smile and widened my eyes, "Wei Xingyun, you're not joking, are you?"

  "Uh-huh, seems so." He nodded.

  "Wow, it's too rare, I actually get to hear you joke around, I have to remember this day well."

  "No need to be so exaggerated. Alright, I'm going back to the classroom now. Don't stuff us with snacks again in the future, or we'll really all get fat because of you."

  I lowered my head and walked silently back to the classroom. No one saw that on my face were both a smile and tears.

  I'm not exaggerating, Wei Xingyun, I really did seriously write down this day in my notebook, March 14th, 2003, during the break of the second class in the afternoon, when you first joked with me.

  Xia Mi Mi's food battle, announced... um... half success!

  Tuesday, April 20, 2010 Rain

  Wei Xingyun, who was hungover, didn't wake up until noon.

  He simply cooked a bowl of noodles for himself and then dialed Tutu's phone number.

  Upon receiving Weixingyun's phone call, Tutu was apparently very surprised, "How did you have time to call me?"

  "Oh, I just finished eating and suddenly thought of something to ask you." Wei Xingyun didn't mention that he had already resigned.

  Tu Tu said bluntly: "Alright, ask away."

  "Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner."

  "Good."

  So, Mingming and the person who seemed to want to keep a distance last week are now sitting together again tonight.

  I vaguely guessed his intention, but still felt a bit awkward.

  Because of Tú's overly enthusiastic expression, anyone could tell that she was in a good mood, with autumn waves in her eyes. After all, this was still the first time Wei Xingyun had actively asked her out to dinner.

  It turned out to be Wei Xingyun. I thought, after turning around and selecting, the person I finally liked was actually Wei Xingyun.

  Looking at Wei Xingyun's exhausted face, she was concerned: "Working overtime also needs to consider one's physical condition, don't overdo it."

  Wei Hangyun nodded slightly and then said seemingly unintentionally: "I dreamed of Miao Miao last night."

  Tu Tu suddenly stopped, then forced a smile and said, "Really?"

  I think Wei Xingyun really doesn't know what's going on. Any girl, at a time like this, hearing these words, probably can't laugh, he really isn't suitable for making small talk.

  Weiyun also felt a bit uneasy, so she directly asked: "Tutu, I want to know, before Mengmeng left, did she say anything to you?"

  "What's the point of asking this?" Tutu was taken aback.

  "Last night, in a dream, she just kept looking at me, without saying anything. I suddenly wanted to know what she was thinking before leaving."

  Tutu's face slightly fell, "She didn't tell me anything, I thought that after a night, her mood would have improved. You know, she has always been very optimistic. I didn't know that at the time she had already made up her mind. If I knew, I should have stayed with her or gone with her, accompanied her..." By the end of his words, Tutu's eyes were already red-rimmed.

  Wei Hangyun stared at her in a daze: "Didn't she say anything unusual?"

  "There's just one sentence," she choked out, "the night before last, before going to sleep, she told me that she was so tired, she had had enough of this one-sided love..."

  Tutu's tears slid down her face, and her mouth was still moving, still saying something, only I couldn't hear it anymore.

  I also had times when I lost courage and confidence.

  I really said, I'm so tired, have I had enough of this one-sided love?

  I often boast that I am Xia Miangmang, who never gives up.

  It's just that something that clearly happened to me, I couldn't remember no matter what, this feeling makes me want to cry out in pain, want to scream, want to cover my head, but I know it's all futile.

  People often say it hurts in their heart, but I don't even have a heart, so why does it still hurt?

  Wei Xingyun's eyes gradually dimmed as he listened to Tu Tu's words, his lips pursed tightly and his body remained motionless.

  Tu Tu noticed his abnormality, stopped describing, wiped away the tears on her face, "Sorry, I've already told the police many times, but I still can't hold back my tears."

  "It's me who should apologize," said Wei Xingyun calmly, "You're her good friend, I shouldn't have let you reopen the wound."

  "Sometimes I really wish I could forget everything about her, Wei Xingyun. Perhaps we should all learn to forget."

  Wei Xingyun suddenly revealed a stunned smile, "With her personality, she would definitely be angry if she knew we forgot about her."

  Tutu's eyes suddenly trembled, and she quickly covered up her despair. "Let's eat."

  After sending Tiantian back home, Wei Xingyun kept walking back and forth on the road from Tiantian's house to school, and then from school to our house. The police investigation said that on that day, I left Tiantian's house without going straight back, but instead went to school. Someone saw me at school.

  I thought I just wanted to relive the good old days before I die, but now I'm as puzzled as Wei Xingyun: what am I doing in school?

  He kept observing his surroundings, sometimes standing still and thinking carefully, and sometimes walking quickly in the rain.

  Obviously he didn't understand any detective methods, although he was always smarter than me. However, everything depends on one's own exploration, can the truth really be found?

  The rain was getting heavier and heavier, blocking his view. The umbrella in his hand gradually lost its effect. He suddenly flung the umbrella aside and stood alone in the rain.

  Silent and motionless, he allowed the rainwater to pound against his body.

  After a while, he slowly squatted down, his head bowed, as if all his strength had been washed away by the rain.

  I walked over and gently wrapped my arms around him from behind, as if we were the only ones in this world.

  Dear, I can't shield you from wind and rain, but how I wish you knew that I've always been by your side, never leaving.
