Section 54 Left Ear (54)

  Section 54: Left Ear (54)

  I cried.

  I finally cried. I cried and used my old running shoes to trample him, the same pair from two years ago, the ones that struggled in the deep snow. His hands loosened a bit, and I pulled it out.

  "Be my girlfriend." He was still saying, but his voice had become gentle, and the hand that had been tightly grasping mine finally let go. I covered my head and crouched down, wondering if I was dreaming.

  In a daze, he carried me on his back and rushed towards the direction of school. In a daze, I heard him say again: "I will never like you." In a daze, Ba La held my thin body in her arms and stood to one side, Xu Yi was kicked down by countless feet, his head bleeding profusely... My head felt heavy and painful, everything seemed to be thrown into a pot of boiling water, rolling around recklessly in my mind.

  The world is turned upside down, and one cannot live in peace.

  "Come on, the rain is too heavy, let's go over there!" He shouted while pulling me up and dragging me under the eaves of a shopping mall. He patted the rain off my body, but such patting was futile, as both of us were already completely soaked.

  I was shivering with cold and suddenly felt like smoking, so I asked him: "Give me a cigarette."

  When I feel desolate in my heart, I always think of Ba La smoking. She stands on the stage humming a soft song, then she walks down from the stage, lonely and lowers her head to light up a cigarette, the flame illuminates her face for a moment, as if igniting all warmth and longing.

  Xu Yi asked me: "What did you say?"

  "I want to smoke," I said.

  He pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one for himself and then lit another for me. I trembled and the cigarette quickly went out. Xu Yi came over to relight it for me, but I pushed him away. His hand suddenly grasped my five fingers. Unconsciously, I moved my hand away, but he reached out again and caught hold of me. I turned my head around, his mouth holding a cigarette, stubbornly straightening my head.

  I think I'm being pretentious. So, involuntarily, a little person appears in my heart and slaps me hard on the face.

  "Are you willing to listen to me?"

  "I don't want to."

  "My father was imprisoned for corruption."

  "I know."

  "My mom got cancer and passed away."

  "I also know."

  He roared at me: "You little demon, what else do you know about me? Speak up!"

  "I desperately said: 'Xu Yi, don't be like this.' I felt the powerlessness of words, in front of him, I shrunk and couldn't say anything."

  Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, looked up at me and said: "You've always loved me, right? You won't lie to me, will you?"

  I still didn't speak, turning my head to one side.

  He continued to hold my hand and said, "I went to the hospital that day, I saw you lying there, you were asleep, I looked at you for a long time, your face was very familiar, it's been a long time since I've seen such a familiar face."

  I still turned my head to one side, although the posture was very ugly and difficult to maintain. But I was moved by his words, and finally couldn't help but turn my head in an instant, Xu Yi's face suddenly approached, and then, bit...my...lips.

  My heart skipped a beat, I wanted to push him away, but he took advantage of the situation and put his hand over mine, pressing it tightly against his chest without letting go.

  At that moment, his lips were painfully numb and his icy fingers stuck to the warm skin on the back of his neck. I wanted to break free, but he pressed down even harder.

  That elegant and quiet boy, Xǔ Yì, who stayed in my memory, has transformed into a stubborn and selfish man. This is my first kiss, under the eaves of a deserted city on a rainy night, finally dedicated to my beloved Xǔ Yì. I finished it with tears streaming down my face, my heart aching so much.

  A long time later I saw a magazine that said when kissing, putting the woman's hand on her chest is the man who truly loves her.

  At that time, I was already with Xu Yi, and we sat together on a chair in the park. When I saw this sentence, I laughed alone. He came over from the other end of the chair, put his arms around me and said: "What did you see that's so funny?"

  "No."

  "Yes."

  "It's either said or it didn't happen."

  "It's true!" He pinched both of my cheeks and shook them back and forth, then said seriously: "You're getting fatter. Pig ears."

  "You're the pig."

  "Pig ear, pig ear." He was delighted with his tongue twister and laughed so hard that his shoulders shook nonstop.

  Before I could finish speaking, I swiftly reached out and gave his shoulder a hard pinch. Jump! ~~~~~~!!!!!!
