【189】Innocent(1/2)
Shen Mo was shocked and subconsciously wanted to pull his hand out, but he didn't pull it out. So he looked around in panic. His pretty face turned red with shame and said in a low voice: "Let go!"
Students often pass by here, and Fang Changan was worried that it would cause some rumors. He shook his hand and asked calmly: "If Wang Ke happened to see it at this time, and then said that I had fallen in love with you early, and thought I was a bad student, and ignored me, do you think I was wronged?"
When Shen Mo heard what he said, he quickly looked towards the school. He didn't see Wang Ke's figure. He then breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still red. He looked at Fang Chang'an quickly, turned around and continued to walk towards the school, but the speed was not fast, so Fang Chang'an could easily keep up.
Shen Mo stared at the front of him, and Yu Guang secretly caught him by surprise and quickly looked at him without squinting. In the process, even the tips of his ears were always red.
Both of them were not walking fast, Fang Changan calmly shouted: "Mo Mo..."
Shen Mo was still shy about holding hands, so that she didn't remember Fang Chang'an just asked a question. When he heard him calling him like this, he didn't think anything was wrong. He just turned his head and looked at him with some doubt and shyness as he did two years ago, waiting for him to speak.
The girl's clear and bright eyes are no longer as immature and ignorant as two years ago, but some things have not changed.
Fang Chang'an suddenly became speechless.
This summer vacation, in order to explain the matter of holding hands, he carefully prepared a set of rhetoric. After meeting Shen Mo yesterday, he was already very sure, and the effect of saying half of the words just now undoubtedly proved this.
This is not because Shen Moben is easy to deceive, but because she always trusts him as she did two years ago, believes that he will not hurt herself, and believes that what he says makes sense. This trust is even to a certain extent - at least at this stage of her life, it exceeds her trust in school and teachers, and may even reach the level of her parents and relatives.
And what are you doing?
Taking advantage of her trust in herself, taking advantage of her now that she is young and her thoughts are not mature enough, and meticulously weaving a set of seemingly reasonable sets of discourse systems that may actually affect her concept shaping so that she can maintain an ambiguous relationship with her.
Putting aside the inexplicable and inevitable mentality problem of the reborn, how should we evaluate this behavior?
This seems to be more than just emotional "scratch".
Fang Changan was stunned for a moment, Shen Mo looked at him in confusion, as if he wanted to ask something, but he did not speak. This act of wanting to speak but stopping did not come from estrangement, but because she was used to suppressing emotions compared to two years ago.
Fang Changan barely suppressed the undercurrents in his heart and spread his hands with a smile, "Look, we have held hands, right?"
Shen Mo's face turned red again, and he quickly turned his head and didn't dare to look at him.
Fang Chang'an smiled and said, "Don't be shy, I'm just giving you a reason. Look, if you have held hands, Fang Chang'an or Fang Chang'an, Shen Mo or Shen Mo, we are still innocent classmates. We have not become premature love because of holding hands, nor have we become bad students and bad children because of holding hands. We will still study hard in the future, and will still try our best to take the college entrance exam to avoid disappointing our parents."
Since he temporarily deleted and modified a lot of content, these words didn't sound convincing enough. However, Shen Mo was just shy and embarrassed to mention this matter again. He also listened to him downplaying the influence of holding hands, just as he wanted. He nodded gently and said "um", which was considered to agree with the tone of "We are still a clean and innocent classmate relationship."
Looking at the problem from the perspective of the predetermined goal and the actual effect, even if this surprise cannot be called a failure, it is still "unfinished", because Fang Chang'an originally planned to maintain a somewhat ambiguous relationship between the two sides, and the most important content was similar to the confession about "favorites" that he said to Wang Ke that day, but he temporarily gave up.
"For you."
Seeing that he was approaching the school gate, Fang Changan took out a small, light blue box from his pocket twice, and said with a smile: "Promise your agreement."
Shen Mo looked at him with a raised eye, bit his lips gently, reached out to take it, and opened it on the way, but saw that the small long box was divided into two parts, one was slightly smaller, with a small pebbles the size of a fingernail, with a very ordinary round and smooth shape.
Shen Mo immediately remembered the first letter he replied to himself: "I worked hard and threw away all the sand and gravel and picked up two stones. I thought I wanted to give it to the thief's hand and the other hidden in the box. I was eager to get it, and I wish I could enter my bag early."
She liked this little stone "in a long-term hidden box" from her heart, but she was embarrassed to reveal it. When she thought of the title of "king thief", she couldn't help laughing, for fear that Fang Chang'an would see it, so she secretly hid her smile. She went to see another slightly larger grid, which was a bracelet with a fine silver chain and a star shape, which was quite exquisite.
"One agreement, one surprise."
Fang Changan smiled and explained, "Do you like it?"
Shen Mo looked up at him, nodded quickly, and carefully covered the box again. Today, she reported that she did not carry her schoolbag, so she also put the box in her pants pocket like Fang Changan just now.
As soon as I put the box in, I heard someone shouting behind me: "Shen Mo!"
Fang Chang'an looked back and saw that nothing unexpected happened. It was Liu Xiyan, which made him so difficult that he even chased him again. He looked sweaty on his face, and he didn't know when he found out that he had disappeared.
Fang Changan withdrew his gaze and saw Shen Mo looking at him, and smiled at her. Shen Mo pursed his lips and turned around to continue walking forward. He didn't even respond to Liu Xiyan.
Liu Xiyan seemed to have gotten used to it and didn't care at all. She ran straight to the other side of Shen Mo. During the process, she also looked at Fang Chang'an, as if she was re-evaluating the competitiveness of this "senior". Then she let out a sweat from the slightly forward position beside Shen Mo.
With this action, Fang Changan labeled this guy as "suspectedly scheming bitch" in his heart.
"Shen Mo, when did you come out? I didn't see it."
Liu Xiyan knew the guiding ideology of "tactic attention to the enemy and strategically despise the enemy". He raised his attention to Fang Chang'an in his heart, but when he spoke, he did not have Fang Chang'an at all. It seemed that he and Shen Mo were the only ones on the way.
Shen Mo seemed to have a helpless expression on his cold face, and turned to Liu Xiyan and said, "Student Liu, starting today, it will be the first year of high school. The new semester and a new beginning. Please don't come to my doorstep to wait for me again in the future. Can you?"
Liu Xiyan's smile on his face was stagnant. It was not the first time he had a stump, but when there were others in the past, Shen Mo would often leave him with some face. This time he had a rival in love next to him, and he actually said such straightforward and simply hurtful words.
This age is when the self-esteem is strongest. Liu Xiyan really likes Shen Mo, but when he is said in front of others, he can't hold back his face and his expression is a little ugly.
Shen Mo ignored him and after saying that, he walked forward.
Fang Changan saw Liu Xiyan's reaction in his eyes. After thinking about it briefly, he could basically postpone the situation almost. Naturally, he also understood what Shen Mo meant. If it were in the past, he probably felt happy. However, after some reflection, he still felt a little uneasy and ashamed at this moment.
Put your heart in mind!
Shen Mo made a statement. Although he told himself that even if he didn't have Fang Chang'an, he would have the same attitude, but he always felt guilty in his heart, so he walked forward without looking sideways, as if he was walking upright, so he didn't have to be guilty.
Fang Chang'an understood that people's words were terrifying, especially when Liu Xiyan was watching from the side, he had to be even more alert, so he did not dare to get too close to Shen Mo.
Neither of them spoke. When they walked to the bus stop silently, Liu Xiyan seemed to have done his psychological construction and quickly chased after him. Before they could speak, they heard the bus stop "crunching" at the bus stop next to them, and a crisp girl shouted: "Shen Mo!"
Shen Mo was also paying attention to the bus. Seeing Cheng Juan jumping off the bus lightly, she showed a rare smile on her cold face and waved to the two of them.
"Liu Xiyan, are you here again?"
Cheng Juan, Liu Xiyan and Shen Mo are both in the same class. They are naturally clear about what Liu Xiyan often waits at the gate of Shen Mo's community, and quipped with a smile.
Liu Xiyan seemed to have forgotten the fact that he couldn't get out of Taiwan just now, and said with a smile: "School has just started."
Cheng Juan then looked at Fang Chang'an again. Before he could speak, Shen Mo turned around and said to Fang Chang'an: "Cheng Juan, I mentioned it to you in the letter."
Cheng Juan and Liu Xiyan were both stunned for a moment. Although Shen Mo had no expression when he spoke, regardless of the content of his speech, it was the first time that the two of them had known her for the first time since they met her. They had to be surprised.
Fang Chang'an and Cheng Juan smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Fang Chang'an."
"oh--"
Cheng Juan suddenly realized, looked at Shen Mo, and pushed her eyes at her with a little exaggerated tone, then rushed to Fang Chang'an and said, "So you are Fang Chang'an. Hello Brother Chang'an, I have heard of Daming for a long time!"
Fang Changan smiled and bowed, "You're welcome, you're polite, just call your classmates, don't call me brother."
Cheng Juan smiled and said, "Shen Mo and I."
Shen Mo blushed a little and whispered: "Let's go!" He walked towards the school first.
Cheng Juan hurriedly followed. Fang Changan looked at Liu Xiyan and did not deliberately walk side by side with Shen Mo. He looked behind him. Seeing Cheng Juan leaning against Shen Mo's ear, he seemed to joking in a low voice: "Your parents, Brother An, is quite handsome."
He secretly praised in his heart: "Have vision!"
When Liu Xiyan saw Fang Chang'an walking behind, he followed the two girls. He didn't want to fall behind. He always wanted to be half a step faster than Fang Chang'an when walking, but he was worried that he would step on the two girls in front, and he would walk two steps faster and three steps slower, which was very entangled.
When he walked to the school gate, Shen Mo seemed to remember what he said in the letter to lead a tour of the campus. He looked back at Fang Chang'an, but he was worried that Cheng Juan and Liu Xiyan were there and did not speak.
Fang Changan naturally understood. He smiled slightly and handed over a look of "the future is long". Shen Mo didn't know if he understood it, but he turned back anyway.
Cheng Juan was one step slower than her and looked back curiously, but instead of looking at Fang Chang'an and Liu Xiyan, she looked at a Toyota that had just stopped on the side of the road. Then she touched Shen Mo with her elbow and said softly: "Song Tang is here!"
Shen Mo turned around and saw that the Toyota door was opened. Song Tang got out of the car wearing black sweatpants, a white T-shirt, and a schoolbag on his back. He also saw the two people here, waved his hands and shouted: "Shen Mo! Cheng Juan!"
Fang Chang'an also looked back and couldn't help but be stunned.
The girl who appeared in front of her looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years old, but her tender face still reflected the sunshine, her eyes were as clear as water, and her smile was pure and beautiful, making people feel indescribable tranquility and pure beauty at first glance.
This smile and feeling are very familiar.
There is no need to think about it deliberately. Fang Chang'an immediately remembered the summer vacation two years ago. On the way to the train, he met the girl in front of him on the bus.
At that time, he suspected that she was "eighty", but now two years have passed and she has grown up a lot, so there is no need to doubt it anymore.
Although I still can't remember what her name is, Fang Changan has basically confirmed this point: it's her!
Hey, Cheng Juan just said what her name was?
When this question flashed through his mind, as the pure and beautiful girl ahead walked in, and seemed to have looked at him because she was standing next to Shen Mo. Fang Changan felt something flashing in his mind.
I didn't remember it, but I felt it was very important inexplicably, and it seemed not ordinary.
But I just can't remember it!
Fang Changan didn't struggle for too long, because the next moment, he remembered it!
As the "Eighty" approached the school gate, the person in the car that sent her opened the door and got out of the car. Looking at the back of the girl in front of her, she reminded her: "Slow down, be careful of the car, I'm going back."
"I understand, dad!"
The girl turned around, waved her hand at her father, then avoided a boy who was riding back to school on a bicycle, and jogged lightly towards Shen Mo and Cheng Juan.
Fang Chang'an's eyes passed over the pure and beautiful girl in the shadow of the majestic and solemn school gate, and saw her father standing next to the Toyota car.
His eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he continued to be stunned.
The man next to the car looked like he was in his forties, leather shoes, trousers, white shirt, well-dressed, and quite generous. He stood in the sunlight outside the shadow of the school gate with a beer belly. He had a black mole under his jaw with a gentle and warm smile on his face, staring at his daughter's light and brisk back away.
Two years later, Fang Changan himself didn't know why he recognized him, but he did recognize this person as soon as possible, just as when he came to the city from the town yesterday, he finally recognized the tattooed man on the bus.
The father of "eighty" was the drunk driving man who tried to blackmail when Cheng Mengfei almost got into a car accident two years ago!
Because Fang Chang'an was completely incomprehensible at this time, when Fang Chang'an saw him and recognized him, he suddenly remembered a crucial thing about "Eighty".
At this moment, he realized another thing at the same time. Even though he often thought he was a person with a "more view of the three views", he actually seemed much colder than he thought he was.
Because what he remembered was a story after graduating from college. One time, he thought that a classmate from the first year of high school and the fourth year of high school seemed to be working in the town government. When he notified him that he was going to get married, he chatted on the WeChat phone.
Speaking of "eighty".
Things that I couldn't remember at all were particularly clear at this moment, but Fang Chang'an, who had a certain understanding of psychology, knew that this was probably the clear content he had made up for, and it was not necessarily the specific chat content at that time, but the carelessness would definitely not make mistakes.
"Do you remember 'eighty'?"
To be continued...
