It's sunny on Friday, March 2, 218
Eason Chan's Long Time No See is playing again in the street coffee shop. I stopped, and the girl named Bell still flashed in my mind.
Will you suddenly appear?
At the coffee shop on the corner.
I will wave a greeting with a smiling face,
sit and chat with you,
I really want to meet you,
Look at your recent changes,
Don't say that it used to be just a greeting.
just a word to you,
long time no see.
Father and Uncle Long are very good friends, and they often go out to consider a few cups. That summer vacation, my relative Long Shu's family built a new house under the foundation, so my father took me to Long Shu's house to help. Long Shu's family has two sons, and the second son, A Feng, is about the same age as me and has a good personality. During the help, A Feng's neighbor's little guy ran over here to play. He was a cute baby over three years old and desperately pestered A Feng and me to play with him.
By chance, I found that the little guy had a sister, and her age was similar to mine. I asked Feng, and Feng said that it was his neighbor and classmate, named Lingzi, who was also a schoolmate in Grade One with good grades. I smiled and looked at it. Under the dim sight of a long distance, I felt like a girl with a good personality.
that was the first time I met her.
Two weeks later, Uncle Long's family officially laid the foundation, and many people helped, so they cooked a pot of rice. I sat at the door with my rice bowl in my hand and looked around while eating. I watched her walk around the door. Whenever she glanced over here, I was careful to bury myself in the bowl.
once, the little guy came to play again. Curious, I bribed him with three sweets and asked him to show his sister around. The little guy nodded with a satisfied face after getting the candy.
A Feng looked at me with a lewd smile and patted me on the shoulder: "Wow, that's fine. If you can bribe the bell, you'll do your share of moving bricks."
"Let's gamble. What are you afraid of? I'm sure I can come." I rubbed the palm of my hand, but I was already sweating in my heart, and my heart was so nervous that I was pounding.
The little guy ran home excitedly, and at this moment, Suzy was holding a mirror to repair her bangs.
"Elder sister, someone in Afeng's family said it depends on what you look like, and gave me some sweets to take you there to play." The little fellow mumbled, tugging at the bell's clothes.
after hearing this, lingzi looked at me in confusion.
Although the little guy has been tugging at her clothes, Lingzi ignores her own business.
ten minutes later, the little guy came panting and said that his elder sister wouldn't come. Preached: "I, sister, said I must have misheard her, saying that you didn't know her. What did you ask her to do?"
A Feng laughed directly, clutching his stomach and laughing. "I told you it was useless."
I'm a little depressed because I haven't been here many times. Maybe I won't see you this time, and I don't know when to meet you next time.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the little guy was still playing here. Before long, Lingzi took the initiative to bring a bowl of porridge to the house to feed the little guy.
the bell didn't look straight at me, and I only glanced at it from the corner of my eye. Before long, Suzy drove the little guy away. Before she left, Suzy looked at me with a smile.
It's the first time that quiet distance has looked at her carefully. It's quite comforting.
or just that smile, it becomes the softest piece in my heart.
After Uncle Long's family laid the foundation, I seldom come here again. Only when I visit my relatives during the Spring Festival do I have a chance to come.
It was the Spring Festival of this year that I saw Lingzi again. After half a year, from summer vacation to winter vacation, Lingzi cut off her long hair and left her short student hair.
this time, feng didn't make fun of me, and I didn't show any abnormal attitude. However, after that meeting, I always firmly remember that there is a girl named Ling Zi. Therefore, on the third day of the new year, no matter what party there is, I will postpone it.
probably, that kind of opportunity to meet each other only comes once a year.
and I just want to leave it to the bell.
I will still be used to sitting in front of Uncle Long's house, fighting with the children on my relatives' side, and my eyes will always wander to Lingzi's house to look for her.
Sometimes, I habitually walk up to the second floor of Uncle Long's house and quietly look at the bell next door downstairs by that window. Occasionally, when Feng sees me there, he will stand beside me quietly.
occasionally, when the bell looks up, my eyes will meet mine. The curved eyes seem to hide the stars in the deep sea, shining and clean, and a little bit sweet is full of my good feelings.
the bell looks good when it smiles, and it warms the heart inexplicably.
I can't help liking this feeling.
I was in grade three that year, and she was in grade one that year. And I, in the eyes of many girls, can be regarded as a leader in sunshine and handsomeness. Girls who like me and express themselves to me are always scarce. And the bell is not outstanding in appearance, but it has a very comfortable feeling, a feeling that I like and remember very much.
in that era when qq was popular, I didn't ask Afeng for the contact information of Lingzi. Afeng can't see my mind in hindsight, and I can't see through whether I like it or not.
Over the years, I've been wondering why I've been thinking about the ordinary girl with the bell, and why I've been thinking about her eyes when she looks at me.
but a voice in my heart kept telling me: you just really want to meet her.
I can't tell whether I like it or just like it.
Although every time I pass the corner of her house, I will unconsciously turn my head and look there, always looking forward to meeting her.
but not once.
and she, have you ever thought of me?
and I, apart from liking it, will like it.
It was probably the year when Suzy was a freshman in high school. My brother and I saw Suzy's family when we were shopping in the market for new year's goods. When I saw her back, I was dazed for a few seconds, so I stopped and looked at her back, but my heart was still extremely satisfied and happy.
Long time no see, Lingzi has become slimmer, and the spacious school uniform makes her look even petite. Lingzi stood by the car and looked at the playful little guy, looking around at the people coming and going in the street.
suddenly turning around, Suzy saw me standing on the other side of the road and looked at me straight. At this time, my cheeks are also red, but the eyes of Lingzi are full of curiosity about my face.
that look, it's like, she can't recognize the boy who is staring at her.
In a short time, Lingzi left the market with her family. Before leaving, she turned and looked over again. I still can't see through the secrets in her eyes.
did she recognize me?
is she nervous but excited to see each other like me?
Later, I graduated, went to other cities to study, made a girlfriend, and experienced a sweet love in my youth. However, I still keep that habit and follow my parents to Uncle Long's house every New Year. I will still unconsciously walk on that path and look at the door of Lingzi's house.
It never seems to be for anything, just to see her change after one year, just to see the bell that will make my heart beat faster.
However, I seldom see her clearly again.
Girlfriends around me have changed one after another, but the memory of Lingzi is getting more and more vague, but in the depths of memory, the girl's back and smile are still lingering.
until this year, I still followed my family to Uncle Long's house. When I stepped into that alley, my heart was cold for a long time.
Year after year, buildings have been built in the village, and the original muddy path has paved the Qingli cement road. The environment and people are changing, but my mind about seeing the bell has never changed.
when I got off the bus that day, I stood under the tree and looked at the door of Suzy's house. There were only two elderly people sitting in the open door, no little guys and no Suzy.
I walked back and forth on that road round and round, but the figure of Lingzi still didn't appear at first sight.
Everyone is sitting by the roadside in under the greenwood tree, talking about my love situation and asking when I plan to get married. I motioned for a smile and looked at the door of Lingzi's house with erratic eyes. "We talked again and again, and then we talked again and again, waiting for a suitable one to get married."
Yes, waiting for someone, waiting for a long-missed figure, waiting for an unknown love.
From afternoon to evening, I was fidgeting in under the greenwood tree. I wanted to see the bell, but she never showed up. If she didn't, it would be a year later.
just when I looked up at the sky in frustration, a white car slowly sped in. Looking into the windshield of the car, a strange and familiar girl sat in the vice seat. I crept to my feet, paying full attention to the girl, with long black hair and straight hair, and the aura between my eyebrows was quite obvious when I first saw the bell.
Just a few seconds passed by, and my intuition told me that she was the bell.
while the bell didn't look at me, there was no surprise in her eyes, only indifference.
When Suzy got out of the car, I was more sure that it was her, the Suzy I only happened to meet once a year.
in seven years, from junior high school to college, Lingzi grew into a delicate and pretty girl. And I, from the age of 16 to 23, for more than seven years, the tenderness on my face has long since disappeared, and I have gained a mature man's carefulness.
the only thing that hasn't changed is my illusion that I can't guess whether I like it or not.
just, a glance is enough.
even though she never knew that there would be such a boy who would come back to see her every year from middle school to work.
Even though she never knew, there would be a boy who would miss her beyond the goodwill of strangers.
if there is fate, I want to get to know you again, starting with your name.
If I have the courage, I want to say to her in front of her: "Hello, Lingling, I'm Huang Yilei. I want to know you since seven years ago. "
