dust and ash

primary school

Fast forward six years, and Zhuo Minhao and I have never been in the same class once.It's confusing enough to say, I didn't go to and from get out of class together, I helped you cook and copy notes, upload notes in class, and memories of fighting between classes.What is puzzling is that other boys become brothers when they get together, but we become a couple when we get together.

Girls always come up to me and ask, "Jiang Yizhi, do you like Zhuo Minhao?"

Am I being so obvious?Whether I held his hand or kissed his mouth, all of them were sharp-eyed, and I couldn't hide my secrets.

I don't know if any girls also ran to him to ask, anyway, we never mentioned it.I only know that long after graduation, the alumni always had the impression that Jiang Yizhi and Zhuo Minhao had been together.This is my lifelong wish, Jiang Yizhi, and they have helped me realize it in my mind.

inseparable

Many years later, I chatted with Zhuo Minhao, the most beautiful stage of our life is childhood, those years that we can never go back.They are inseparable every day, and I will give you a share of delicious food, and bring you along with me if you have fun.

One day Zhuo Minhao folded a grasshopper for me, I still remember the expression on his face when he handed it to me, a little shy, a little fearless: "I'll just fold this one, and I won't fold it in the future."

I stared blankly at him, who always had a smile on his face, and heard him say to me: "I only give it to you."

On the day he graduated from primary school, he wrote me a letter and asked me to write back to him.

The content is very simple: "Jiang Yizhi, from the first grade to the sixth grade, they all said that I like you, I think I really like you, even they can see it. I just want to ask you, do you like it? I?"

My answer is also very simple: "Zhuo Minhao, are you an idiot? I don't like you and I play with you all day long?"

Maybe that guy's brilliance is too dazzling, and I can't see anyone else except him.

junior high school

Zhuo Minhao and I were assigned to different schools, and we met less and less frequently.

"Yizhi, can you sneak out at night?" Zhuo Minhao said on the other end of the phone.

"Where?"

"Take you to a place you have never been to."

With that guy around, there are always places to go.I followed him and sneaked into the train station, and a dozen meters away was a green space.There are a few dim street lights around the green space. It is the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in my life. The sky is full of fireflies, dancing like elves.There were still stars in the night sky at that time, so close that they seemed to be within reach.

"Take a picture," Zhuo Minhao threw me a camera and caught a firefly.

"I don't know how to use this thing."

We sat side by side on the grass and he taught me how to play with the camera.Later we slipped onto the railway tracks, and he took pictures of me, and even the next few times we met, on the street, in the library, in the park, he always took his camera with him to take pictures of me.Half of the photos were given to him and half to me.

On the day I graduated from junior high school, he pinched a clay figurine for me and gave it to me as a keychain.That clay figurine looks exactly like me, with an oval face, fox eyes, cherry mouth, and my signature bangs.I found out later that it was a parting gift.

The family moved out shortly after, and we lost touch completely.
