Chapter 9 I just said I love you now
It was Sunday, and the sun was shining. Yang Pan woke up by the sun. He opened his eyes and found that there was no one on Zhang Jun's bed. Why did you go out so early? Yang Pan muttered, then pulled up the quilt to cover his head, and continued to sleep.
On the road to Huangshan, Zhang Jun wandered alone, holding the only 18 yuan left this month in his pocket. He wanted to buy Sophie a gift and birthday gift.
He figured it out that in the past three years, Sophie seemed to have always taken the initiative, and he rarely showed any active behavior. This is too unfair to a girl. Which girl doesn’t want to be chased by a boy? If she doesn’t take the initiative, she blames Sophie instead. Are she too selfish?
Li Shuai's appearance can also be said to have helped him. Now he wants to win the game again with his performance as he did at the beginning. He is still one goal short of the hat trick, so he will make up for it now.
But, what to buy? Eighteen yuan is too little. You can afford to buy birthday cards, but now you still give this one, which is really insincere. Birthday cake? The cheapest one is 18 yuan, but... Zhang Jun looked at the 18 yuan cake in the window. How do you look like an expired food that has been put on a month's worth of food? Toy dolls? Well, girls will like these things, right? But at this price... Zhang Jun held a handful of coins in his hand and looked at the label. The cheapest one costs 36 yuan, which is twice the difference. Zhang Jun thought he couldn't tell the price anyway, so he had to walk out of this gift shop reluctantly.
It’s true that on three years’ birthday, I always make a gift with a hat trick. I never considered other gifts. Now I asked him to choose them, and I don’t know what to give. Which kind of thing best represents his own wishes, so Sophie can understand it after seeing it.
Not long after Sophie got up, she received a call from Li Shuai, saying that she was buying gifts for his sister. She didn't know what the girls like. Sophie and his sister were about the same age, so she should know, so she wanted to find Sophie to be the staff. Sophie remembered that she had something to say to Li Shuai anyway, so she agreed. The two agreed to meet at the school gate.
When they met, Li Shuai looked in a good mood. "You are here? My sister just called and insisted that I buy him a gift. She was going to see me in Hefei. I don't know what kind of things a girl likes, so I have to ask you for help! I'm so embarrassed, please trouble you!"
"Nothing, it's the last time anyway."
"What does it mean in the end?" Li Shuai was stunned for a moment.
"I know what you are thinking, but I think it may be my attitude that made you misunderstand." Sophie looked at Jinzhai Road where cars were coming and going, and there were always taxis slowing down in front of them, thinking that another "couple" wanted to use the car. "From the beginning to the end, I treated you as an ordinary friend. I already had a boyfriend, so it is impossible for me and you to do it..."
"Why is it impossible?" Li Shuai's smile condensed on his face, "What's wrong with having a boyfriend? I can fight with him, I don't believe that I can't fight..."
"You can't fight for him..." Sophie interrupted Li Shuai softly, and he looked at another slow-down taxi, "Aren't you going to buy your sister a gift?"
Li Shuai was stunned, "Sister? Where did I come from?" He threw down this sentence and turned around to walk towards the campus. He wanted to make himself as easy as possible, but he could not do it anyway.
Sophie smiled apologetically at the stop taxi driver and shook her head, then turned around and looked at the school. Li Shuai was no longer able to find any trace.
She thought about it and decided not to go back to school for the time being, and just take a walk outside to relax. Although she said something about "ordinary friends", she knew that it would be better for everyone not to meet again in the future. If men and women cannot become lovers, they should become enemies.
Zhang Jun found a very inconspicuous Tibetan decoration store in a corner. When talking about Tibet, people think of the pure blue sky, pure sunshine, and pure air, which is very suitable for Sophie, pure and beautiful.
This shop has no door, only a Tibetan-style blanket hanging on the door to make curtains. Zhang Jun felt that things in such a small shop should be inexpensive, so he turned over the mat and entered. As soon as he entered, his eyes dazzled and looked closely, and found that the three walls of this small shop less than five square meters were actually covered with various Tibetan decorations. He must have been shining by the sunlight reflected by these Tibetan decorations.
Zhang Jun saw a casual look at the ornament, which was priced at more than fifty years ago, which scared him and quickly shrank his hand back.
There is only one middle-aged uncle in the store, who should be the boss. He asked Zhang Jun enthusiastically: "Young man, which kind of jewelry do you want to buy?"
Zhang Jun muttered, "Look at it casually..." He went around and found that the accessories on the east wall were cheaper, so he focused his eyes on this area.
Most of these jewelry are flat and some patterns are carved on it. Zhang Jun thought that this should be in Tibetan, but unfortunately he didn't recognize it and didn't know what they mean.
Seeing Zhang Jun repeatedly looking at the jewelry on the east wall, the boss came over and explained in detail the meaning of the pattern on it: "This represents health and longevity, and that is good luck..."
Zhang Jun turned it over one by one, and the boss explained it carefully. The enthusiasm made Zhang Jun say so much to him, and he seemed to have bought one. So he picked up a chain casually, and the workmanship was not fine. He thought it was not very expensive: "How much does this cost?"
The boss looked at the label on the wall again, "Twenty-five dollars."
Zhang Jun's heart skipped a beat, and he was still seven yuan away. He looked at the others, and this one was the cheapest. "Be cheaper, boss!"
The boss touched his beard: "Okay, twenty, I can't get cheaper."
Twenty, I can't be lowered anymore, but I'm only eighteen, and I'm still two dollars away. Zhang Jun really doesn't want to give up like this.
Seeing Zhang Jun hesitating, the boss thought he thought the price was still high, so he hurriedly said, "This is the last one, I have already lost some of this price!"
Zhang Jun began to flip all his pockets, hoping to find the two dollars he had forgotten in a corner, but unfortunately, he was disappointed in the end.
He looked at the decoration in his hand that represents the eternal love and the eternal hiding of love. He reluctantly hung it back and turned around and went out.
But the boss just sat down and Zhang Jun folded it back. He seemed to have to have enough courage to take out all the money he had on his body and put it in front of the boss. A ten-yuan banknote, a five-yuan lined piece, and three one-yuan coins. "I only have eighteen dollars, can I..."
The boss looked at the coins with sweat, then looked at Zhang Jun, who was embarrassed, and smiled: "Did you buy it for your girlfriend?"
Zhang Jun was stunned: "How did you know?"
"Hehe! I have to buy jewelry that symbolizes love forever. Who else can I give it to my girlfriend?" The boss laughed. He got up and walked to the wall, took off the hidden ornament, put it in a special small bag, and handed it to Zhang Jun: "The deal is completed, 18 yuan! I have collected it, only this one is here!"
As Sophie walked, she came to Huangshan Road. The most lively place near the school, and students from several nearby universities gathered here.
When she was tired of walking, she sat in a large stone Go piece casserole in the street garden. These Go pieces were usually for passers-by to rest, and they were polished to shine. On several chess pieces nearby, they were paired with couples, snuggling together, as if no one was around. She and Zhang Jun were once sitting here, but today she was the only one. Sophie didn't want to see those close couples, so she looked around. Suddenly she found a very inconspicuous corner with a hidden decoration shop with no door, and only a curtain was hung at the door.
Sophie remembered that it would be Zhang Jun’s birthday in a few days, so she should buy him a birthday gift. These days, he must be very wronged.
The curtain was opened and a very beautiful girl came in. The boss couldn't help but take a few more glances, but beauty was beautiful, but there was always a hint of sadness in his eyes.
This is a small shop. The three walls of the store, which is less than five square meters, are covered with various hidden decorations. There are no other customers in the store. It seems that the business is not very good. She walked around and found that the price is affordable, but she didn't know if these hidden decorations have any special meaning. She turned around and asked the boss standing aside: "Is there any decoration that represents the eternal love?"
The boss was stunned for a moment: "Love lasts forever? Yes, but it just sold it. The one that represents the last one that represents the same love is bought by a young man, and it is the last one."
"Has I been bought?" Sophie had a little hope just now, and was poured with cold water by the boss's words.
"Yes, that young man didn't have enough money. He spent a long time to get two dollars away. In the end, he sold him eighteen dollars. I think he was very pitiful. He had been holding the eighteen dollars for a long time." The boss and uncle laughed: "The college student seems to be poor at the end of the month, but he still insisted on buying gifts for his girlfriend, hey!"
"The last one is there, nothing else? The sample is OK!" Sophie wanted to buy it very much, and she was a little anxious. The uncle was shocked. The beauty seemed to be very imposing when she was anxious! He shook his head: "Even the sample is gone. I haven't bought much of that kind. Nowadays, who still believes that love will last forever and last forever?"
Sophie didn't hear what the boss said, and she looked at the hidden ornaments all over the wall. She now wanted to buy the jewelry that had been bought and lost interest in the others.
I pray that love will last forever and last forever. What a suitable wish! What she and Zhang Jun need most now is this kind of blessing. She and him are first love. I really hope that this first love can continue, last forever and last forever.
It’s a pity that I’m one step late!
"Is it really gone?" Sophie made his last effort.
The uncle shook his head.
She had to lift the curtain and walked out with great regret. It seemed that she would take time to go to the city center to take a look.
I bought the gift, but Zhang Jun was still worried that it would be too shabby. The price was too cheap and the workmanship was not very fine. I don’t know if it was really hidden. Compared with Li Shuai’s gift, isn’t it too inconspicuous?
But this has already cost all my money and I have no ability to buy any other gifts that are worth a lot of money.
Zhang Jun was upset. He glanced at Yang Pan's walkman on the bed. Recently, Zhou Huajian's new album "Forgetful Grass" has finally been launched. Yang Pan just bought it and didn't listen to it for a few days. I heard that there are some songs in it that are very good, but he has never heard it before.
After taking the walkman, the tape was placed inside, the battery was also there. Put on the headphones, press the "PLAY" button, and after a brief wait, the piano sounded, and then Zhou Huajian's voice sounded. Zhang Jun was influenced by Yang Pan and liked to listen to Zhou Huajian's songs. He felt that there was always a kind of warmth in Zhou Huajian's songs that could make people unconsciously moved, not noisy, not artificial, not flashy, not pretentious, just like gentle flowing water, but it was enough to make you smile or cry.
The music continued, and Zhang Jun fell on Yang Pan's bed, but he was almost asleep. Suddenly he sat up suddenly, picked up the Walkman, rewind, played... rewind, played... rewind, played... he listened to a song several times, and finally found a way, a song that could express his heart, a romantic way of expression. He believed that Sophie would understand after listening to this song. This song was simply written specifically for him.
He quickly took action, poured the tape to the place where the song started, then put it in the tape box, put it in his arms, and went out.
There was no class this afternoon. Sophie went to Sanxiaokou and Sipailou. He went around all the Tibetan decoration shops, but he didn't see the ornament that represents the eternal love. Whenever she asked, "Is there any ornament that represents the eternal love?", those people always looked at her with a strange look. With money in their pockets, they could only return empty-handed. When they returned to the dormitory, the roommate in the upper bunk handed her a box of tape: "Then, Zhang Jun gave it to you."
Sophie took it over and it was Zhou Huajian's new album "Forget-me-forget-me-grass", a very ordinary cassette. Sophie couldn't see anything special. She asked her roommate: "Have he said something?"
"No, he just asked me to give it to you, and nothing else said."
Sophie sat down again and took out the tape. It was not a new box of tapes. It was obvious that they had heard it. The tape stopped in the middle... Sophie suddenly felt her mind, took out the walkman beside her pillow, put the tape into the machine, put the headphones on, and pressed the "PLAY" button.
Yang Pan returned to the dormitory and wanted to listen to the song. He took the walkman, put on his headphones, pressed the "PLAY" button, and waited for a long time, but he didn't hear any reaction. He turned on the machine and found that the tape inside was missing!
"Hey! It's weird! Who did you see my tape?" shouted the person in Yang Panchong's dormitory.
The three people in the dormitory turned their heads to look at him, shook their heads, and did their own things again.
Zhou Huajian's singing came from the headphones. Sophie was stunned after listening to it.
Remember to say for you,
To win the whole world.
But Ignore you behind.
I didn't find it after a circle.
Your smiling face is just a cover-up.
Silently beside me.
Why don't you say it,
You should understand.
Love is an intuition that requires no words.
But time has proved everything, but it cannot be rewritten.
Who can understand your grievances?
Sorry for me, I just said now: I love you!
If I knew, I would have hugged you long ago.
I'm so sorry! I'm just saying I love you now.
Hope it's time to do it!
OH-I'm so sorry for the past few years,
I'm a little selfish.
I was heartbroken, but I forgot to be sorry.
Actually, when you are fragile,
What words are more considerate and more direct than this?
Sorry, say again I love you!
If I knew, I would have hugged you long ago.
I'm so sorry, I'm just saying I love you now,
Hope it's time to do it!
Sorry! I will love you forever!
Sorry, say again I love you!
Thank you so much, I want to hold you tightly!
I'm so sorry, I'm just saying I love you now!
Hopefully everything is in time,
Say to you: I love you the most!
...
The roommate looked at Sophie strangely and listened to the tape sent by Zhang Jun, but she burst into tears, not knowing what happened. Sophie didn't say anything, didn't say anything, didn't care about the eyes of her roommates. She just sat by the bed and cried quietly, listening to the song quietly, quietly moved.
Chapter completed!
