unconfessed love

During the transition from dream to reality, the ringing of the phone, which was more disturbing than the quarrel between middle-aged Obasan, reached Liu Yuxian's ears.Who would call at a time like this?It was obviously a holiday, and it was still very early in the morning──I looked out the window and found that the sun was already shining brightly. Liu Yuxian gave up the cognition of "early morning" without any hesitation, and returned to the time when it was already eight or nine o'clock. reality.

If you leave it alone, it will automatically hang up sooner or later, right?While lying leisurely on the bed and thinking about it, Liu Yuxian suddenly remembered that He Yan didn't seem to sleep very deeply, and it seemed that she was easily woken up when she heard any movement.In an instant, she got up from the bed, and even stepped out of the bed, she almost stepped on the desk and the stepping grid in the bed, and before she could step on the last grid, she jumped to the ground with a "kick". , Before even putting on his shoes, he ran to the phone and grabbed it.

"Hi, hello." Although she was a little out of breath, she still said into the microphone in a low voice.She didn't want He Yan to be woken up by her own voice instead of being woken up by the phone ringing.

"Hey, please find Liu Yuxian." It was the voice of a strange boy.

"Uh, hello, I am, may I ask who are you...?" Liu Yuxian said hesitantly.

Actually looking for yourself?Before answering the phone, she didn't think about this possibility at all, she just kept trying to stop the ringing of the phone from ringing, and what happened after that was not in her thinking at all.

"Ah, you are...Actually, I have already recognized the voice just now, hehe..." After hearing that it was Liu Yuxian, the other party's tone softened obviously, as if he was still smiling: "I am Deng Daping ..."

...Deng Daping?Deng Daping...Deng Daping...Oh, I seem to have a little impression, I can't remember his face clearly, he seems to be a thin and tall boy.The reason why I have a little impression of him is because the other party's figure is too tall and too slender, coupled with the loose clothes on his body, he is like a precarious bamboo pole.

"Ah... oh... what do you want from me?" He didn't seem to be very familiar with him, but Liu Yuxian's memory that seemed to be sealed was suddenly awakened when he thought of what Deng Daping was like - fainted during the military training last time When I was young, one of the two boys who sent me to the school hospital seemed to be Deng Daping... People who helped me can't just ignore them, no matter what, I should send a word of thanks.

Before he could figure out how to thank the other party, he heard Deng Daping say in a hearty voice, although it may not be pleasant to hear: "How about it, didn't you go home on the National Day? I thought you would go home during the long vacation. Last night at When the library saw you, I thought I had read it wrong—is it you, in the library last night?..."

"...Oh, I did go to the library yesterday..." Liu Yuxian answered honestly, accompanied by a nodding motion, and she didn't expect her to be invisible to the other party.

"Let me just say, I can't read it wrong!" Deng Daping said happily, and then said: "How about it, are you still used to being alone in school?"

"Oh, it's okay, I wanted to go home, but my family was away and I had something to do, so I didn't go back. Anyway, I just started school soon." Although he was not interested in talking, Liu Yuxian still answered seriously the other party's question.It's just that although she was talking well, she didn't understand what the other party was looking for her at all, and because she had received his help, she was embarrassed to end the call first.

"Did you just wake up? Looks like you haven't had breakfast yet?" Deng Daping said as if he didn't see anything, "But it's already at this time, I guess it's time for lunch when you pack up... Don't you want to have lunch?"

"Huh?" Liu Yuxian was greatly surprised by the sudden invitation.Although it was not the first time she received this kind of invitation call, she still had a hard time handling it. In the past, when Lin Yuanyuan was around, she had to ask her to block her back, but now she is not here...

"I mean lunch, don't you want lunch? Let's eat together." The other party reiterated.

"Ah... that... I..." Liu Yuxian stuttered suddenly, and He Yan suddenly came to her mind. "...I'm sorry, I have... something to do at noon..."

"Oh, have you already made an appointment? Haha, it seems I'm a step late..."

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and seeing He Yan who thought she was still sleeping came out of it, Liu Yuxian froze instantly.He Yan's bangs were wet, and it looked like she had just washed her face.Smiling at Liu Yuxian who was on the phone, He Yan walked back to her seat.

Liu Yuxian panicked, her face flushed, and she almost dropped the phone.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Deng Daping's concerned voice came from the phone.

"Ah...it's nothing..." Liu Yuxian hurriedly replied, lowering her head, but her eyes looked at He Yan involuntarily.

As usual, He Yan simply tied a ponytail, put on the outdoor sandals, picked up the shoulder bag and put it on her shoulder, and walked towards the door.When passing by the telephone by the door, he winked and smiled at Liu Yuxian who was standing aside holding the phone, which was regarded as a greeting.

He waved his hand, closed the door, and He Yan's back disappeared before his eyes.

"What about tonight, how about having dinner together at night? If I have an appointment at night, then I would have failed too much. I didn't lose at the starting line, but at the basement level..." Deng Daping said with a smile, "How about it? Is it okay to have dinner together at night? I can't be hit anymore, haha..."

"Huh? Oh, that's fine... Well, it's fine, it's nothing important... Anyway, I'll go to the library at most..." Liu Yuxian didn't know what he was talking about, as if his mouth was moving mechanically That's all.

"Oh, can it be, that's really great!" There is no need to hide the pleasant tone, "Then where is the best place to eat? Canteen?"

"Sure." Liu Yuxian didn't want to talk anymore.

"It's ok, but I'm used to it every day, and there's nothing delicious. Why don't you go to the food street outside the school? I know a good Anhui restaurant..." The enthusiastic person on the phone didn't like it at all. Unaware of Liu Yuxian's depressed mood, she continued to speak.

"That's fine." It's not so much a short answer, it's better to say that she didn't think about it at all.

"Okay, then I'll come to pick you up from downstairs in your dormitory at night... Oh, since I have an appointment at noon, I might not be in the dormitory in the afternoon?" He said in a tentative tone.

"Ah."

"Is there any event? Haha, who are you with? Is it convenient for Fang to disclose?" Deng Daping, who did not get an answer from Liu Yuxian, seemed to realize that such inquiries were not very popular with the other party, so he skipped this curious question without hesitation and continued: "Then we Let's meet at the main entrance of the campus, I'll wait for you in the bookstore next to the campus supermarket at six o'clock in the evening, okay?"

"OK, all right."

"Then it's a deal, see you tonight!" After finishing speaking, Deng Daping didn't seem to hang up the phone right away.

Realizing that the other party might wait for her to hang up first, Liu Yuxian was afraid that the other party would find another topic to talk about if she didn't hang up, and hung up the phone.

The hands that had been holding the microphone trembled a little. Liu Yuxian squatted down with her back against the wall, hugged her knees with her hands, and the images of He Yan winking and smiling at her before leaving and closing the door and leaving alternately played in her mind, feeling empty in her heart.

why?

Liu Yuxian thought.

why?

But when she repeated "why" over and over again in her mind, she suddenly realized that she couldn't figure out what the "why" question was.
