Chapter 14
: Chapter 11 In Front Of Love, We All Choose
Because I often supervise instant noodle exercise, instant noodles feel sorry for me and delay my study time, so they will give me extra-curricular tutoring. In addition to the daily routine video, after accompany him to exercise every weekend, both of us will go there. He would give me one-on-one tutoring at the nearby library or in a quiet café to review my homework.
Today is no exception. We chose a cafe on the first floor of the shopping mall opposite the sports park. It is an old place and a double seat in the corner. It is quiet and unobtrusive.
Ordered two glasses of juice for instant noodles, and under my supervision, he has not dared to eat junk food wantonly, such as chips and fried chicken. If you are really hungry, you can at most get approval and allow you to eat a whole grain steamed bun. At first, when he was eating steamed buns in the coffee shop, the coffee shop clerk would not understand the contemptuous look, and the clerk got used to it over time, and even asked kindly, “Classmate, do you want to pour you a glass of boiling water?”
If you ask me what kind of person is instant noodles? I will answer without hesitation: He is a good boy who is polite, gentle, humble, and very peaceful. Even if he meets a student who I personally think is dumber than me, he still does not give up and takes the trouble to explain to me. Sometimes I can’t help but reflect on myself, and my attitude towards him being lazy and gluttonous when he loses weight is extremely bad. After a lot of self-reflection, I, who made the same mistake many times, clearly saw the fat mass on his face and was shaking with anger. When I couldn’t bear it anymore, I held up the compass and prepared to poke me, but I actually thought he was very harmless, with a round face. just
A holy light of incomparable serenity blooms…I think I must be blind.
Instant Noodles was grading the math exercises I just finished. I looked at the red pen in his hand and kept drawing the red tick of victory on the paper. My heart beat faster and my mood began to fluctuate.
“The derivative still needs to be strengthened. You must be careful and fast when you do the questions, otherwise the exam will waste a lot of time.” He ruthlessly drew a bright red cross on the last two questions.
Like a deflated ball, I corrected the question under his re-instruction.
“But I have made great progress recently. I know how to use formulas and theorems. Today is the last two questions wrong, which is very good.”
When I got the compliment, I suddenly felt like I was full of chicken blood and came back to life.
“In the past, I always felt that every time the math teacher gave out the papers, some questions were deliberately abusing us, but after your analysis recently, every question seemed very simple. I felt like I was suddenly cleared. It’s like the second pulse of the governor. I give you a big praise for mosquito coils!”
Wear a thousand clothes, don’t flatter yourself!
“Suddenly hearing your praise, I can’t get used to it.” Instant Noodle scratched his head shyly.
“Am I usually that fierce? I’m obviously gentle and kind.” I was shameless to the top, “What do you want to eat? My sister invites you, but don’t give more than fifty yuan. Because I’m poor!” four words.
“It’s alright! If it’s over fifty, I’ll pay for it myself!” As soon as he heard the food, his eyes sparkled as if they were suddenly slapped.
“OK! Approved! You can see what you want to eat on the menu first. I’ll go to the bathroom first.” I got up and went to wash my hands
walk in the direction between.
Within two steps, I almost bumped into a girl who was looking for a seat, and I immediately said, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
“Xu Jingjing? What a coincidence!”
Hearing a voice so familiar that I couldn’t be more familiar, I looked up at the girl, too surprised to speak. It turned out to be Xu Jingjing! Wei Xue was still standing beside her. Immediately, my heart skipped a beat, like thousands of grass and mud horses roaring and galloping.
I was foolish enough to spend a second praying that they would never see the instant noodles behind me. Who knew that the sharp-eyed Wei Xue would scream in the next second.
“Kang Jiawei!”
Xu Jingjing followed Wei Xue’s gaze and looked at the corner not far behind me. The expression on her face suddenly became very surprised, and she murmured in disbelief, “Kang Jiawei?!”
Instant Noodles was happily looking at the menu, what to order, and when he heard someone call his name, he looked up and saw Xu Jingjing suddenly appearing in front of him, and threw the menu nervously on the ground.
Seeing this scene, I immediately reached out and stroked my forehead. Can’t this guy have a chance? It’s like being raped.
“Xu Jing…Student Jing, you…Hello…” When Instant Noodles looked at Wei Xue, it seemed like another normal person, “Student Wei Xue, hello.”
Xu Jingjing quickly changed her expression, walked over with a smile and said, “Why are you two here this weekend?”
“Uh…we…about…” While the instant noodles stuttered, I immediately said, “The two of us just happened to meet.”
As soon as the instant noodle heard me say this, the word “about” spit out a sound and immediately retracted it, saying, “Yes! The two of us
Just came across it too. ”
Wei Xue looked at the two pairs of badminton rackets hanging on the chair and sneered: “Just happened to meet? It happened that both of them were carrying badminton rackets? What a coincidence. Sigh!”
“Yeah, it’s such a coincidence, it’s just as coincidental as meeting you here. Is it weird?” I looked at Xu Jingjing and Wei Xue innocently. Originally, I was going to bring badminton today, because I wanted to practice my hand, but when I arrived at the sports park, the sun was shining in the warm sun, and the whole person was lazy. I just wanted to tease the puppies and listen to the unexpected gossip of the uncles and aunts. I didn’t want to exercise at all. . Anyway, no matter what they think, my sister just happened to be determined.
Wei Xue was blocked by me and was so angry that she was speechless. Seeing her gritted teeth, I felt very comfortable.
Xu Jingjing hurriedly rounded things up and said, “Oh, it’s normal to meet by chance. What are you two going to do?”
The instant noodles said: “Eat.”
I said, “Go to the bathroom.”
Wei Xue, who had a cold face, suddenly laughed, and found a way to fight back, saying, “One in and one out. You two really have a tacit understanding. It’s no wonder that you can ‘coincidence’ when you play.”
The instant noodles were embarrassed and speechless.
“Oh, so you, who happened to meet us, are you going to come in or go out?” I have never been a gentleman, nor a hypocrite. When dealing with a real villain who likes to talk nonsense, you must be shameless.
“You?!” Wei Xue was so angry that her facial muscles were trembling this time.
I shrugged innocently again and said, “Looking at the way you look, I guess you’re not in the mood to go out with me. Then I’ll go by myself. Borrow it!”
I am from Wei Xue and Xu Jingjing
He forced his way through the room, hummed a little tune and walked to the bathroom, faintly hearing Wei Xue stomping his feet in exasperation. Before entering the bathroom, I looked back at the instant noodles. He was holding back his smile. He stood behind Xu Jingjing and Wei Xue and raised his thumb at me. I gave him a V-shaped hand. Wei Xue’s face turned greener. She thought I was provocative. Fortunately, Xu Jingjing pulled her to the side.
When I came out of the bathroom, the whole painting style suddenly changed. I thought that Xu Jingjing and Wei Xue would choose to leave or stay away from our table, but the two of them directly occupied the magpie’s nest and sat in my seat. A lot of food was ordered on the table, and the two chatted happily while eating instant noodles. The three seem to be discussing something and have happily reached a consensus.
As soon as Wei Xue saw me, her enthusiastic face suddenly turned cold. In fact, before going through the last sports meeting, I had absolutely no idea when I had offended this eldest lady. If it was a head-to-head battle just now, it would be the first time in history. Xu Jingjing turned her back to me, I couldn’t see her expression.
Instant Noodles saw me and waved at me with a full face. Before he spoke, I had a bad premonition in my heart. Usually his **** look means something bad is going to happen next.
“Gang Jingjing and Wei Xue said they were going to the gym to play badminton together.” The voice of instant noodles was extremely cheerful.
really…
“Okay, then you go.” I packed my bag and racket to go home.
“Xu Jingjing, aren’t you going?” Instant Noodles looked surprised.
Xu Jingjing also looked surprised and said: ”
Xu Jingjing, won’t you go with me? ”
“I’m a little tired and want to go home and rest.” I squeezed a smile and put my bag on my back.
The instant noodles were in a hurry and said, “Xu Jingjing called Gao Zhan just now, and Gao Zhan also wants to go to the badminton hall to play together. It will probably be on the way.”
I was about to leave, but the instant noodles made my movements noticeably stiff. I looked at him in amazement, then looked at Xu Jingjing, I didn’t expect Xu Jingjing to have an appointment with Gao Zhan. Is this going to be an eight o’clock **** drama? In those well-known idol romance dramas, it is always unavoidable that the male protagonist and the female protagonist VS the female protagonist and the male protagonist to engage in some kind of competition, using each other’s skills to hang and beat each other, someone will always be injured, either the female protagonist or the female supporting role, and badminton tennis. These two kinds of “assistance and abuse” sports will always be in the top two rankings.
I know that instant noodles are out of good intentions and learn to be a matchmaker, but I have no desire to be a **** today, and I don’t want to be any character in a dog blood drama at all.
I relaxed my facial muscles and smiled slightly: “That’s right, the four of you can play doubles. Either badminton racket? If you want, leave it to you. Here it is for you. Remember to return it to me when you go home.” I handed the badminton racket to Xu Jing Jing.
Xu Jingjing stood up without picking up the badminton racket, and said, “Jingjing, are you still angry with Wei Xue? Wei Xue is just outspoken, but it’s actually nothing bad.” She touched her arm as she spoke. Wei Xue motioned her to speak.
Wei Xue hummed lightly, and said in a cold manner that she was unintentional about me just now.
With a kind smile on my face, I said, “Do I seem like such a stingy person? Everyone is
classmate. I’m really tired and want to go home and sleep. ”
“It’s better not to be angry. Playing will give her energy, and Wei Xue can’t play badminton, so she won’t be able to charge her head if she goes.” Xu Jingjing touched Wei Xue again.
Wei Xue was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and said a little unhappily: “I don’t know how to play badminton.”
“Don’t go home, let’s play together.” The instant noodles also advised me.
I glared at him and told him to shut up and sit back and stop talking nonsense, it was all his tricks, and his face was mixed in.
Xu Jingjing was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang. She looked at the screen of her phone and said, “Gao Zhan’s call.”
She hurriedly picked it up, “Gao Zhan, Xu Jingjing said she was tired and didn’t want to go. She wanted to go home to rest. Wei Xue doesn’t know how to play, so it’s boring to be short. Why don’t you talk to Xu Jingjing.” Xu Jing said Jing handed me the phone, “Here, Gao Zhan wants to talk to you.”
“Ah?” There was no room to think, Xu Jingjing forced her phone into my hand, as if I was holding a hot potato, and Gao Zhan’s “Hey hey hey” kept coming from the phone. Voice, I had to put the phone to my ear, “Hello?”
Gao Zhan’s clear voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: “Is that Xu Jingjing?”
“Yeah.” Hearing this distant and close voice, my heart couldn’t hold back and began to thump and beat.
“Xu Jingjing just said you want to go home, don’t go home, let’s go to the gym to play badminton together, there are so many people. I haven’t played badminton for a long time.”
Gao Zhan’s soft and shallow voice came from the air, as if it was a magical hand, it penetrated the phone through the thousands of miles of sky and grabbed my heart.
, I am powerless to refuse. For a while, I seemed to have lost the ability to speak. I grabbed Xu Jingjing’s phone tightly, and was speechless for a while.
“If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as your promise. See you at the gym later.”
“Hello? Hello?” He didn’t give me a chance to refuse at all, and hung up the phone. It wasn’t until a blind tone came from the receiver that I realized, I don’t want to go! I’m going home!
Xu Jingjing grabbed the phone and said, “I heard it, you promised Gao Zhan, you can’t go back if you promised.”
“I’ll give you a backpack.” The instant noodle grabbed my bag from my shoulder, rushed out of the store, and winked at me excitedly, as if to say that Gao Zhan was going to go out in person. Can’t stand it?
“I didn’t agree, I really want to go home. Instant noodles, return the bag to me.” I was speechless.
“Let’s go.” Xu Jingjing pushed me out of the store.
Wei Xue got up, rolled her eyes at me and walked past me, snorting coldly, “Hypocritical!”
This “hypocrisy” made me face up to my character problem again. The reason I don’t want to go is that I like whoever has a crush is my personal freedom. Wei Xue knows best whether Wei Xue will play or not, and I am not blind. I just don’t understand why Xu Jingjing insisted on it after I clearly rejected it? I can accept the loss of my confession being rejected, but I don’t like my secret love being used to play tricks and see jokes. But if I don’t want to go, why not just reject Gao Zhan? In fact, deep down, I wanted to meet Gao Zhan. I clearly wanted to, but I desperately said no, and it was hypocritical to keep refusing! So Wei Xue is right again, I
This attitude of refusal and welcome is obviously a bit hypocritical.
I took a deep breath and went as I went. It’s nothing special. It’s not a shame to like someone anyway. This is the inevitable process of the natural survival and development of human beings.
Having said that, but after a while, I regret it. I took advantage of the instant noodles to relax my vigilance to get my bag back, and while they were not paying attention, I ran away with a puff of smoke. Rather than being hypocritical, it is better to say that I am still cowardly after all.
After leaving them, my mood was obviously much better, and I almost jumped up and down on the road. Seeing an uncle roasting sweet potatoes, lured by the aroma, I bought the largest sweet potato without hesitation. I peeled the skin carefully, and just took a bite, the hot red ink was so hot that I was about to spit it out. It happened that at this moment, my shoulder was lightly tapped, and the hot potato slid directly into my throat. . I was so scalded that I pulled my face on the spot, jumped up and down, shivered all over, and covered my heart, as if my heart had been scalded in an instant.
I was thinking about meeting some acquaintances, and when I turned around, it turned out to be instant noodles. I exhale, trying to freeze the hot potato through my throat with the cold air. After a while, I was finally able to speak, and jumped at him: “Damn instant noodles! Didn’t you go to play with them? Why did it suddenly appear again? It scared me to death!”
I looked around for fear of seeing Xu Jingjing and Wei Xue, but fortunately, I looked around and didn’t notice them.
“If you don’t go to play, I don’t want to go either.” He had a faint smile on his face, and a pair of dark eyes shone with sincere light, as if in
Like an apology. If I hadn’t known that the person he liked was Xu Jingjing, I would have had a heart attack from his ambiguous answer.
I looked at him, feeling a little incredible, and said, “You just saw Xu Jingjing so excited that the menu was flying to the ground. You obviously want to play with her, why did you suddenly change your mind?”
“I don’t know either.” Instant Noodle looked up at the sky forty-five degrees, looking confused.
“Did the two of them push you away after seeing me not going?” I always felt that instant noodles were a foil, and if I, the clown, didn’t go, he would have no need to be a foil.
I shook my left hand for a while, and my right hand for a while, holding the hot potato alternately from left to right in both hands, looking at the instant noodles, I simply took it for me.
“Not really. I just suddenly don’t want to go.”
“Don’t tell me that you left them because you were influenced by me. I don’t bear the blame.”
“I just don’t know what to say when I’m with them, but when I’m with you, I talk a lot and I’m very happy.” The instant noodle held the sweet potato I just bought in his hand, and carefully peeled the skin. After peeling it, it went smoothly. He stuffed a small piece of red in his mouth, “I’m happy even eating this.”
What the hell! I just realized, when did my sweet potatoes run into his hands?
“Hey, hey, do you still want shame? I bought this for myself to eat. Why are you so embarrassed to eat it first? Give it back to me!” I reached out to grab it, but the tall man with instant noodles raised a hand , I felt that the sweet potato immediately stood shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
“Who said to invite me to eat just now? I ran away secretly without saying a word.”
“what?
I was the one who said I wanted to treat you to something to eat just now, but who was the one whose soul was hooked away when he saw the beauty? For the sake of Pomeranian, even dragging friends into the water is simply inferior to beasts. ”
“It’s not hot anymore.” The instant noodle tore off a large piece of sweet potato and stuffed it directly into my mouth.
“Uuuuuu…” I was gagged by the sweet potato.
Instant Noodle burst into laughter when he saw my mouth full of sweet potato flesh, and even covered his stomach exaggeratedly.
“What are you laughing at?” I was chewing sweet potatoes, not sure why.
The instant noodles didn’t say anything, just took a picture of me with my mobile phone, “See for yourself, hahaha~~~”
In the unbridled laughter, I saw me in the photo with my lips covered with sweet potato pulp, like I was covered with some kind of scary object… Well, it’s a tasteful photo!
I raised my fist and smashed the belly of the instant noodles without hesitation, “Kang Jiawei! I must have peeled your skin today!”
Maybe it was because of the exercise that the instant noodle’s posture became more vigorous, and even if I tried my best to open my whirlwind legs, I couldn’t catch up with him.
The two of us chased after me in the alley, making trouble all the way, and startling the dogs barking one after another. As the instant noodles said, I was very happy with me, like a little madman, but when I was with Xu Jingjing, he would only be restrained like a primary school student waiting to be trained, and dare not talk casually. If I agree to play badminton, facing Gao Zhan, I will definitely become a helpless puppet. So compared to secret love, it is more suitable for both of us to be free.
“Why don’t you play football suddenly? I thought you would really like to see Gao Zhan. Would it be a pity to slip away suddenly?”
I shook my head and said:
“No. What about you? I thought you would really want to play with Xu Jingjing. Then do you feel that you left suddenly and made Xu Jingjing unhappy?”
“No. Because I know she’ll be happier without me.”
I tilted my head to look at the instant noodles, I thought I could see a trace of sadness and loss on his face, but it didn’t. The afternoon sun shines on his face, like a newborn.
“Yo! Did you suddenly realize life?”
He laughed and asked me: “The truth! Then why do you hate Xu Jingjing so much?”
“Who said I hated her?” I snorted against my will, and seeing him staring at me for a long while without speaking, I replied, “Do you like the ‘other people’s child’ that your mother talks about constantly praising her all day long? ?”
He pouted: “Yes, because I’m the ‘other’s kid’ that your mother talks about and praises all day long.”
“Kang Jiawei, that’s enough for you! Is there such a narcissistic person as you? Narcissism never forgets to sprinkle salt on other people’s wounds!” I patted my **** and got up from the steps, “Follow you ‘other people’s children’ There’s really no way to communicate well. I’m going home.”
“Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, my dad made steamed pork ribs today and called you to eat at our house.”
Since the establishment of friendly relations with instant noodles, whenever Miss Beauty does not cook rice, I will go to his house to eat rice. Dad Kang’s cooking level is comparable to that of a chef in a five-star hotel. After every meal, I have to hold my stomach carefully. It’s no wonder that instant noodles are so fat.
“Children who are oppressed by ‘other people’s children’ refuse the temptation of gourmet food.”
“Walk
Bar! My dad has cooked several good dishes, and your saliva is almost drooling. “Instant Noodle stood up, without saying a word, he hooked my neck with his tiger arm and dragged me towards his house.
“Kang Jiawei! Do you want to strangle me? Let go!” My voice almost changed.
Convenience in the face of my screams turned a deaf ear. Is this still Kang Jiawei who first saw me like a mouse seeing a cat and detouring? Just rubbing my nose!
Walking into the alley of the instant noodle house, he saw a black Audi car parked in front of his house in the distance.
Instant Noodles suddenly paused, and said to me apologetically, “I may not be able to invite you to my house for dinner today.”
I looked at him and then at the unfamiliar Audi sedan in front of me. Although I didn’t know what was going on, it must have something to do with the owner of that car.
“It’s alright.” I patted his broad shoulder to comfort him, “Go home, just treat me as the grass guard to send you home.”
I was about to turn around to leave when a hurried and sharp footstep came, but the owner, whose footsteps could be heard from the sound, was extremely impatient and anxious. The next second, I saw a tall and beautiful woman in a khaki plaid trench coat turning out from the direction of the instant noodle house. As soon as she saw the instant noodles, she stopped.
“Jiawei?” The pretty woman called out the name of the instant noodle from a distance, and the voice was particularly nice.
I glanced at the instant noodles, and his grinning and soft expression had disappeared, replaced by the muscle lines on his face that became very stiff at some point.
He told me in a low voice, “My mother.”
“Wow, I didn’t expect you
Mom is so young and beautiful. “I looked at the beautiful woman in the distance in amazement. She had delicate makeup on her face and looked at most thirty years old. Her skin was fair and delicate, and her long curly hair was draped behind her shoulders. She was capable yet feminine. If the instant noodles didn’t tell me that this was his mother, I might have thought it was his sister. Compared with my mother, the lady, she is already very young among her peers, but compared to Kang Jiawei’s mother, she still looks old, as if Time did not leave a trace of the years on her face.
He didn’t answer me, just watched his mother come towards us coldly.
I called out politely, “Hello, Auntie.”
Mother Kang glanced at me lightly, and then said to the instant noodles, “You have a girlfriend since your second year of high school?”
Instant Noodles ignored her and just said to me, “Jingjing, go back first. I’ll contact you later in the evening.”
I nodded.
“What does your father do at home all day? Don’t you know what to do and what not to do at your age?” Mother Kang’s voice rose uncontrollably, “You look fat, do you still look human? ”
I couldn’t help but interrupted: “Auntie, Kang Wei’s family and I are just classmates. He is trying to lose weight now, and it hurts his heart to say that.”
“I’m educating my son, outsiders don’t interfere.” Mother Kang glared at me coldly.
Those sharp eyes clearly made me wince. Instant noodles subconsciously stood in front of me and said, “When you made a mistake, you couldn’t take care of yourself, so what qualifications do you have to take care of me now?”
“You?!” Mother Kang’s expression froze
.
“Jiawei, I’ll go back first.” I pulled the strap of my schoolbag and turned to leave.
In this case, Instant Noodles and his mother may have a lot to say, and even a quarrel requires space for the two of them to be alone. I suddenly regretted that interjection, I didn’t expect instant noodles to have such a bad relationship with his mother. At our age, our words and deeds often become sharper due to external forces, and become a weapon to hurt each other with our loved ones. It was my interjection that intensified the conflict between him and his mother, which I didn’t want to see.
Far away, until I walked out of that alley, I could still hear the words “fat”, “abolished” and “America” in his mother’s anxious and nervous voice.
At twelve o’clock in the night, I had already climbed into bed, half-dreaming and half-awake, I vaguely saw the screen of my mobile phone light up, and a message from instant noodles popped up: “I’m sorry.”
I half-squinted tiredly, clicked a smiley face, and then didn’t move. I was so sleepy that I didn’t even know that the expression had been sent, so I went to play chess with Duke Zhou.
