First Love (4)

  Because of the New Year, we unexpectedly had a smooth ride through the most congested and eternal traffic jam area in the city. I didn't have the courage to venture out on New Year's Eve before, so I stuck my head out the window, curiously observing this city that was shedding its makeup.

  The beauty is no longer, but in the calm and quietness, a hint of intimacy has been found. If you remove a few newly built high-rise buildings, reduce a few flashing neon lights, and cover up the giant billboards on both sides of the main road, it will vaguely resemble its original appearance from years ago.

  I suddenly remembered that several years ago, on a winter day like this, I seemed to have met Xia Bing and Zhuo Er when I passed by here.

  I turned around and looked at Zhuoer who was driving carefully, then looked at Xia Bing who was picking CDs, and suddenly let out a sigh.

  "How did we all grow up!"

  "Hmph!" Xia Bing burst out laughing, "We've all grown up, that's a fact. You're just a little kid, you still have a long way to go before growing up!"

  "I'm already grown up," I protested, and then in a very deep tone, I murmured, "I feel like I'm old now."

  I think they all don't know that at that time, I was just a little kid. Now me, has been hurt, has suffered, learned to hide, learned to secretly love, and also learned... to love.

  "Affected!" Xia Bing poked Zhuo'er, "Isn't it disgusting enough? Isn't it corny enough?"

  Zhuo'er glanced at me through the rearview mirror, her eyes flickering with a hint of helplessness and a hint of pampering. "Wait a bit longer, Mengmeng, don't rush, you still have some time to grow up."

  It was a very ordinary sentence, but as he said it, his voice trailed off and almost became a murmur.

  When I was puzzled, Xia Bing had already whispered a sentence, "We're here."

  I looked out of the window and suddenly felt a chill, it was by the river.

  I got off the bus with a stumble and asked, "What are we doing here?"

  Xia Bing suddenly conjured up a pile of paper packed in transparent bags as if by magic.

  "Did he say 'burning paper money'?"

  Xia Bing directly took one of them and hit it on my head, "Idiot, haven't even seen a Kongming lantern."

  I really hadn't seen it before. Xia Bing opened the packaging bag with disdain, holding a Kongming lantern to explain to me, and I finally understood.

  "Oh, then what's the point of putting this up for Chinese New Year?" I asked blankly.

  "Dumb, make a wish!" Xia Bing took out a pen from her body and scribbled on the car.

  I was shocked and didn't expect him to have such an innocent side.

  However, since I can make a wish, I will absolutely not be polite about it.

  After Xia Bing finished writing, I took his pen and started writing too.

  I wish all my loved ones good health, happiness and peace!

  Wish Xiaomeng a triumphant exam and a soaring score!

  Hope Xia Mi Mi becomes more and more beautiful, with a better figure!

  I wish my friends happiness forever!

  I hope...

  I looked at the two people on either side of me, thought for a moment, and finally decided to put the last wish in mosaic: I hope XXXXXXXXXXXX!

  Hopefully one day, Wei Xingyun will fall in love with Xia Miomi.

  After filling up the Kongming lantern with dense and numerous wishes and signing their names, I saw that Xia Bing and Zhuo Er had already opened his lantern and were ready to release it.

  I walked in and took a look, Xia Bing's wish almost made me vomit blood.

  I hope all my wishes come true!

  It's really simple!

  "Zhuoer brother, don't you want to make a wish?" I asked.

  "It seems I don't have any special wishes to fulfill," Zhuo'er turned his head, and under the reflection of the flames, his face looked exceptionally warm. "Otherwise, I'll give you a wish."

  "Okay, okay," I nodded repeatedly and quickly dismantled another Kongming lantern. "I'll help you write."

  "Just write it, hoping Xiaomiao grows up quickly."

  I smiled with joy, "Thank you, Brother Zhuo!"

  I quickly finished writing and gathered the Kongming lanterns in front of him, "Sign your name."

  He picked up his pen and wrote down his name lightly: Zhuo Er.

  The pen moves with the wind and clouds, and the lines flow like a river.

  "Great!" I exclaimed loudly, "You can tell he's practiced with Pang Zhonghua at a glance."

  The smile on Zhuo's face suddenly became somewhat stiff.

  "Let go." Xia Bing suddenly shouted.

  Immediately, the Kongming lanterns in their hands flew slowly into the sky with the cold wind.

  "Next!"

  After all the Kongming lanterns were released, the sky seemed to light up with dozens of bright lights. Passersby looked up in wonder, and the air seemed to warm up.

  Then I saw Xia Bing take out her mobile phone and dial a number. "Ting Ting, come quickly to your balcony."

  After a moment, I saw that on the high-rise residential building in this city facing Xia Bing, a balcony of a household suddenly lit up.

  I turned to Zhuo'er and asked, "What's going on?"

  "Let's talk about love." Zhuo Er said lightly.

  There's actually a method like this! I widened my eyes and turned around to look at Xia Bing, who was on the phone with a smug expression. It seems that when it comes to pursuing the opposite sex, I'm far inferior to my brother!

  Then I looked at Zhuoer with a sympathetic gaze and patted his arm.

  "Brother, you've been wronged."

  "What?" Zhuo was perplexed.

  "Lost the lover hidden in the bottom of my heart." I said with deep meaning.

  Zhuo Er's face froze again.

  After a while, he suddenly smiled slightly, and his eyes narrowed, "Since that's the case, why don't you just marry me to repay your brother's debt? Anyway, aren't you going to marry me?"

  Now it's my turn to be stunned...

  After several sporadic phone calls during the winter break, I thought He Xingyun and I had made up.

  I have never looked forward to school starting like this before, looking forward to our reunion again.

  After a winter break, has Wei Xingyun grown taller and thinner or fatter, has his hair grown longer or been cut shorter, how much has he changed?

  I ran to the mirror and examined myself, hmm, my hair has grown a bit longer, my skin is much whiter, face... Ah!!! I stared with wide eyes in horror and shouted at the top of my lungs: "MOM!!!!!!!!!!"

  My mom came over upon hearing the noise, "What's going on? What's happening?"

  I looked at her with a pained expression: "Mom!!! Look, hasn't my face gotten rounder?"

  "My mom let out a sigh of relief, 'What's the big deal, anyway? I'm just a bit chubby, it's quite festive, isn't it?'"

  Happy? Which girl wants to be fat and happy? I want to be both slim and beautiful.

  "Uggghhh..." I fell onto the bed in agony, covering my face. "Mom, I'm not eating dinner tonight!"

  "Ah, okay. Oh dear, I was planning to cook conch tonight, looks like only your dad has the good fortune." Mom said as she walked out.

  "Wooo..." I put down my hand and looked at mom pitifully, "Then eat a little bit."

  Eating well, drinking well, playing well, body good, skin good mood good, but, weight also like taking a plane straight up, the New Year's thing, really makes people love and hate.
