halfway friend

On the first night after the UEC, I lost sleep all night.My brain is like an old movie projector, which keeps playing broken, disordered, and blurred images, as if showing me details that I didn’t pay attention to at the time, and made me realize that I missed some warmth that should have been treasured.

The whole body is exhausted and the alarm is issued repeatedly, but the consciousness is not sober.Anxiously, I got bouncing from the air conditioner and grabbed my phone to check the time. 01:30...

I closed my eyes weakly and lay down again.Stuck in the quilt, thinking about the letter.

Ouyang, what is your decision?What are you manipulating?

Does it mean that, in fact, I have been kept in the dark by you?

……

Say, where are you going?a place far away?

When he realized it, he had already put on his clothes, and walked out the door carefully.Suddenly, the light came on, and I saw my father standing by the door of the master bedroom.

"Susu? Where are you going?" He had a cigarette in his mouth, but he still couldn't open his eyes.I forgot his habit of going to the bathroom in the early morning.

"I'll go find a friend."

"What time is it?" He pretended to look at the clock, "Five o'clock."

I know my reason is too convincing, but I really don't know how to explain it.

"The boy from the past?" He sat on the sofa, took down the cigarette and puffed, "The exam is over too. If we think it's suitable, we don't care about you, but..."

"Dad," I closed my eyes in pain, "it's Ouyang."

"Ok?"

"Ouyang Ye, I like her."

I felt my father walk up to me, look down at me, and say, "What did you say?"

I raised my head, met the somewhat fierce eyes, and didn't speak any more.

"How can you do this! Are you playing me and your mother like monkeys?"

"Mom, Mom already knows..."

"Well, tell me what's going on! You and Uncle Ouyang's daughter? It's nothing! He is my best friend... Such a dirty relationship, you..."

dirty?dirty?

"Stop talking big!" I yelled at him, "Dirty? Why don't you take a look at yourself. Did I tell Mom that you talked to that fucker?"

The words stopped involuntarily, because I saw the eyes that had been hidden in my memory for a long time, which made me tremble and could never be erased...

Snapped!

A slap woke up half of my cheek, it was hot, I covered it.Looking up, his frantic face was reflected in my sad and angry eyes.

"Let me go today... I still want to treat you as my father."

Seeing that he didn't move and said nothing, I didn't care so much, so I ran away.

Fortunately, it is almost summer, and the morning wind is not stinging.Avoiding a few cars and crossing a few deserted roads, I walked downstairs to her house.Sitting on the side of the flower bed, I leaned against the pillar and suddenly felt sleepy.After I fell asleep in a daze, I don't know how long it took, a voice called me.He opened his eyes suddenly and saw an old man.

"Little sister, let me go, the grass here needs to be repaired."

"Ah good."

The sun has revealed the whole picture and shines generously.I walked up to the unit and rang the doorbell.After pressing for a long time, there is no response.

Somewhat flustered, I ran to ask the old grass mower if that family had left.

"This... I don't remember that clearly. I saw a few young people walking away with their luggage yesterday, not necessarily the family you mentioned."

At this moment, several people in dark blue overalls came out from the unit door.With a sense of foreboding, I rushed to grab one of them.

"Excuse me, are you from a moving company?" I must be crazy...

"Ah yes..."

"You moved, did you move to the 703 household?"

He was about to answer when another familiar figure came out of the door and hurriedly interrupted our conversation.

"Oh, young man, it's really hard work! The head of the household said that he was hired in a hurry, and he asked to be careful, look at my brain..."

She gave those guys some tips and didn't notice me until they were gone.

"Auntie, do you know Ouyang's family?"

"Ah, I just came here to help... They moved out yesterday." She smiled kindly, and said words that made me feel cruel.

"Where are they going?"

"Let's go to Shanghai, but I probably won't stay there for a long time. I don't know the details. Are you a classmate of their daughter? I can..."

I said thank you softly and turned to leave.

"If there is anything to do, I have the contact information here, hey girl..."

Ouyang, if I am weak, I can exchange tears for a little mercy from God, allowing me to try to redeem it, that would be great.It is only today that I understand that I can do many things for you, endure many grievances, be strong for you, and disregard for you, but... that feeling is like, when the miracle blooms and the wings begin to flourish, once Want to pursue but give up waiting, without a trace.

Looking at the edge of the scorching sun, the eye sockets don't feel sore.

"Ouyang, I found that there are two 'days' in your name, I will call you Riri from now on."

"..."

"Then I found out that we both have an ear in our name!"

"Everything is boring..."

"Since you have two suns, give me one. I feel so gloomy."

"Okay, okay, go to sleep."

She tucked the corner of the quilt to me and touched her chin inadvertently. I shyly said that she didn't know that I liked her at that time.

If the two are bound to miss each other, then please fate you and arrange a better person.
