C8 See the First Love Again
The next morning, Lee Xu's family all went out, and the phone in the hall screamed endlessly.
Lee Xu walked dispiritedly to the phone and picked it up. Before he could say anything, he heard the other party impatiently ask, "Can you get Lee Xu to answer the phone for me, please?" This person was none other than Zeng Wei, who picked him up yesterday. From the way Zeng Wei spoke, it could be seen that he had become a lot more polite. He was no longer the same rude and grumpy guy from three years ago. After three seasons, Zeng Wei slowly matured as well. There is a good saying: Time is the best stimulant to mature.
"He's not here himself. Please leave a message on his phone." Lee Xu hung up decisively. Before he could take a step forward, the phone rang again.
Lee Xu was so dizzy that he could not figure out the direction. He picked up the microphone again and said incoherently, "Hey, brat. Have you finished shouting so early in the morning? Are you not going to let anyone sleep?" Lee Xu yelled at Zeng Wei in annoyance, his eyes were still rolling in front of his eyes. He had no intention of opening them because his mouth was still yawning. He had difficulty falling asleep last night, but he didn't expect that he would be woken up early in the morning by the ringing of the phone in the hall.
He was extremely sensitive to this kind of sound. It was all because of those boring girls in his dorm room in the university who were harassing him with their phone calls. He wanted to strangle his three roommates to death because they had put down their books and refused to read. They had to harass the girls in his class. Later on, the girls also took countermeasures. As soon as the three of them called, they would unplug the phone line, and when the four of them slept until midnight, the girl's phone would fiercely dial his dorm room. They would answer it, then hang up, then answer it again. None of them wanted to unplug the phone line and show their friendliness by thinking that the girls were doing it. The three of them also found a good reason to comfort themselves by saying that they had come in the middle of the night and had not only lost their sleep, but had also spent their phone bills. As time went on, Liu began to get tired of the phone ringing. If he could, he wanted to unplug his home phone before going to bed. But his family was too busy to unplug the phone line in case his father wanted to settle the score with him. At home, he was most afraid that his father would find him for revenge, and he was most afraid that mom would nag him. Luckily, Foolish Brother was easy to talk to in front of Lee Ji. Perhaps they were people from the same era, without any sort of generation gap between them.
Zeng Wei snickered on the phone. He could hear the power of Lee Xu's words. There was no need to think too much about it, the ringing of the phone must have woken him up. Although the words that came out of his mouth sounded a bit unpleasant, this was the tone he always used towards his good brothers. The words he said were simple, clear, and satisfying. Who asked him to be Zeng Wei's good classmate plus a good brother. Since the two of them were good brothers, of course, they didn't hide their words and didn't choke.
"Haha, great writer, great poet, big brother, please don't be angry yet. Can you not ask this little brother if I have any good news for you today?" Zeng Wei was reminding him that Lee Xu still remembered his birthday. He leaned on the sofa and held his phone close to his ear, trying to figure out what kind of dirty language Lee Xu was going to say next. He also wanted to try out how dirty the dirty language from the poet's mouth would be.
"You brat, if you have something to say, quickly say it, if you don't, then die. You should know that my current brain does not listen to me. I will be the first to leave the house of my father, my mother, and I will be the first to leave the house of my mother.
At this time, Lee Xu wanted to have a good night's sleep, regardless of whether it was spring, summer, autumn or winter outside. He could not sleep because he often wrote at night. He didn't expect Zeng Wei to find him so quickly. Before he opened his eyes, Zeng Wei had already been calling him. If Zeng Wei was beside him, Lee Xu would tell him to be good and not disturb his sleep. He was not afraid of anything in front of others. He was just afraid that others would disturb his sleep. As far as Lee Xu was concerned, being able to fall asleep as soon as he fell asleep was something he couldn't even ask for by burning incense and paying respects to Buddha. Ever since he finished his first novel, he has had mild insomnia. Because he was writing novels about his past memories, he tried his best to pick up many fragmented scenes and ruthlessly throw them away. In this way, the soul was touched many times by the memories of the past, thus seriously wounding himself. People thought he was playing with himself, but he didn't think so. He was already beholden to himself for wanting to finish his brief description of himself in his lifetime.
"Alright, alright, alright. Can't I do the same? My parents aren't home today. I'll give you half an hour to get to my house. If you come late, don't worry about me if you regret it in the future. " Zeng Wei was a little disappointed. It seemed like Lee Xu didn't remember his birthday, so there was no need to expect what gift Lee Xu would prepare for him. Even if he beat Zeng Wei to death, he would be too embarrassed to ask Lee Xu for a gift, because Lee Xu had always been poor in front of him. He also understood Lee Xu, because Lee Xu looked at the date on his mobile phone. China's Lunar calendar was different from the same day in the Lunar calendar, which differed by many days. Lee Xu's good classmates and friends all knew that he was a forgetful person because he didn't even know that it was his own birthday. Relatively speaking, it wasn't surprising that Zeng Wei's birthday was forgotten.
In Lee Xu's entire life, he only remembered the birthday of his first love, Xue Ni, because he had designated that day as the annual picnic day of their class. It was also the most significant day of his junior high school life. Later, however, it was a day of infinite suffering.
Lee Xu heard Zeng Wei hang up the phone and recalled what Zeng Wei had just said. He was still nagging, as if he was having a hard time with him. He walked to the sofa, squinted his tired eyes and sat down. Zeng Wei had taken away all the sleep.
He glanced at the sofa and saw a note. He picked it up and read it, knowing that his mother wanted him to take care of the day.
At this moment, it was better not to mention food. Just mentioning food caused his intestines to curl up in his stomach. For the time being, he did not have the urge to cook. When boys think of doing a woman's housework, they feel flustered and the trouble is to die. He subconsciously stood up and remembered that Zeng Wei's invitation to visit the Ceng family. It was a good thing, at least he could make do with breakfast and maybe even have a few drinks. He had always thought that the best time to drink was in the wind.
Lee Xu quickly went back to his bedroom and changed into a clean set of clothes. He stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. He felt good and smiled to himself.
Zeng Wei's home was right away from his, as long as he took a bus, it wouldn't take too much time to walk it.
As Lee Xu walked along the street, he noticed that the morning sun had already risen a few dozen feet in the east. But he could still feel the breeze on his face, the birdsong in his ears, the fragrance of flowers in his nose. From his facial expression, it could not be seen that he blamed Zeng Wei for waking up his dream. It was the real nature outside that could be embraced. Listening to the music on the street, he walked all the way to Zeng Wei's house. He stopped, tidied his collar, and started to climb the stairs.
With the expression he always had when he visited Zeng Wei's house, he rang the doorbell of the Zeng family home. The person who opened the door was his first love, Xue Ni. Before he saw her, he knew that she had found a professional boyfriend like her a few days ago. As a result, his love had been cut off and pulled out of him.
When he saw that it was Xue Ni, he wanted to say something, but something seemed to have stopped him. He wanted to take a step forward, but stopped himself. He looked at her dumbly, leaning his broad shoulders against the door frame. In his heart, he wondered what it would be like to see Xue Ni again. His eyes almost watered down from disappointment. Other than staring at Xue Ni, there was nothing else he could think of to say.
When Xue Ni saw Lee Xu's disappointed expression, his helpless expression increased. She hated him for being unable to explain it in one or two words. Her hand was still on the doorknob when she saw Lee Xu
Feeling sad, he opened his mouth first. "Long time no see. I heard that you've been living the life of a writer for the past three years. Congratulations."
"You're still paying attention to me after hearing what you said. I should be grateful." At this moment, his mind was in a mess. He thought back to the night when the two of them had worked on the tabloid newspaper together in class eighty-five. The words that he had heard deep within his heart rushed into his heart, making it unable to calm down even if he wanted to. He wanted to give her a hug, but she was someone else's girlfriend, so he couldn't think of a reason to hug her. No matter how beautiful the scene of the past was, it would not be able to dispel the suffering in his heart.
"Listening to you say that, it seems like you don't want to see me again. That's good too, we won't think of anything else." Before Xue Ni could finish his sentence, the people in the hall shouted her name. They didn't know that the person who had come was Class 85's Big Bro Lee Xu.
Xue Ni's smiling face regained its calmness. Every word she said was squeezed out of her teeth. He could see how much she hated him. She hated that he didn't care enough about her.
"They're calling you. Let's go over. No matter what, Zeng Wei gave me an unexpected surprise when I see you." He hadn't thought that she would be a lithe, cute, intelligent, and quick-witted girl in the original 85th class. He hadn't seen his for a few years, so why did he suddenly become so nervous and stutter? In fact, his heart was even worse than hers.
"How have you been all these years?" She waited until Lee Xu walked into the house, pushed the door handle, and closed the door before turning around and taking slow steps with Lee Xu.
His eyes were filled with melancholy as he replied, "These three years, I've lived quite well. I can eat and sleep, but my skin is no longer the same as before." There were lies and truths in his words. The lie was that he hadn't slept well at all; the truth was that his skin had indeed become less smooth than it had been, and that was because he had been dealing with computers for years. Computer players all know that the computer has radiation, radiation for a long time, skin is a certain impact, and even lead to infertility.
From his tone, Xue Ni knew that he was still complaining about her. At a loss for words, she heard Zeng Wei shout towards the door, "Why aren't you two coming in yet? Are you going to invite us recognized beauties?
Go and pick it up warmly. Bro, did you hear that? " These few sentences of his helped Xue Ni save a few sentences, but he was also urging Lee Xu to hurry up and go over. As Xue Ni walked behind him, he felt embarrassed to meet her old classmates because they all knew that Lee Xu had once had a failed love affair with her.
If Xue Ni knew Lee Xu had come, she would have tactfully refused Zeng Wei to avoid seeing Lee Xu awkward. If she hadn't seen Lee Xu today, he wouldn't have known that he had returned to CS City, which was why she was so happy to celebrate Zeng Wei's birthday. If Lee Xu knew Xue Ni was there, he wouldn't have come even if Zeng Wei had picked him up in his Lincoln. The two of them were losers, and Zeng Wei was the biggest winner today. Because of his birthday, all the famous people in Class 85 were already here.
