Long Time Loved Friend - Chapter 57
“I found that although you and I are not familiar in high school, there seems to be a bond between us.” Yun Zhi nudged Yu Mingxia with his elbow, his tone was the same as when chatting normally, “You think so?”
Yu Mingxia paused, his eyelashes moved slightly, and he hummed softly.
When the two of them reached the parking place, Yu Chuxue, who had been waiting for them by the car door by the side of the car, had disappeared.
Yu Mingxia turned on the phone, glanced at it and immediately turned off the screen. The message displayed on it was—
Yu Chuxue: [I’m going home first, so I won’t bother you. 】
When Yu Chuxue came by herself, Yu Mingxia didn’t ask any more questions.
She quickly turned off the screen before realizing that Yun Zhi would not look at her mobile phone for no reason, even if she saw this news, she would not think too much about it given their current relationship.
What she did just now was completely out of her conscience.
Yunzhi opened the car door and got in.
“If only we knew each other in high school.” Seeing that Yu Mingxia was bowing his head to put on his seat belt, Yun Zhi whispered with emotion, if she knew about this in high school, she would definitely become good friends with Yu Mingxia.
Yu Mingxia held the steering wheel and asked softly, “Why did you say that suddenly?”
“It’s nothing, I just feel…” I just feel that if I get to know you earlier, I can save some time wasted.
Yun Zhi paused, but did not continue speaking. She looked up at the glass window, and the surrounding scenery began to recede. She remembered another thing.
But seeing that Yu Mingxia had already started the car, Yun Zhi didn’t speak any more.
There was a new message from Jiang Ling thanking her on the mobile phone, Yun Zhi bowed his head and replied.
After replying to the message, she started to feel sleepy, so she leaned against the car seat and closed her eyes after talking to Yu Mingxia, intending to take a nap.
Passing the traffic light on the way, Yu Mingxia turned his head to look at Yunzhi who had fallen into a deep sleep.
She seemed to have had a good dream, with the corners of her lips raised, and she seemed to be sleeping soundly.
After a while, Yu Mingxia slowly looked away.
I remembered what Yun Zhi asked just now.
About how Qiao Minzhi knew her.
In high school, she could not do much for Yun Zhi, and she was not even qualified to care about her.
At that time, the Yunqiao family had a good relationship, and many people who knew about it said that it was because of this that the two elders would talk peacefully, and the matter about Qiao Minzhi causing Yunzhi’s injury was also let go.
At first, like outsiders, she thought it was the reason.
Later, she accidentally learned from others that it was because Yun Zhi said she didn’t want to care about it, and even heard Yun Zhi and her parents quarreling.
Perhaps it was because of this incident that Yunzhi was depressed for a long time. She saw Yunzhi’s declining grades in the office. It was also at that time that she heard the math teacher belittle Yunzhi.
On the day of the temple fair, she ran into Qiao Minzhi and his friends, talking and laughing.
She thought of Yunzhi, who was injured, whose camera was destroyed, and who quarreled with her parents.
Although she didn’t know why Yunzhi was willing to forgive Qiao Minzhi, she knew that Yunzhi must have her reasons for doing so.
The crowd was crowded that day, and she heard what Qiao Minzhi said to others.
“Can I be blamed for this?”
“She’s not very kind, can’t she bear me because of Qiao Yuezhi, then she will bear it.”
“That’s not kind, that’s stupid.”
…
There are so many people participating in the temple fair, it is normal to occasionally bump into people when crowded.
So it was quite normal for her to bump into Qiao Minzhi accidentally.
It’s not intentional, it’s accidental.
Qiao Min knew that this person liked to mess around, and it took her a lot of ways to get rid of it. When she saw him in pain with bandages, during that time, this was the only thing that made her feel happy about going well.
At that time, she even felt guilty afterwards. Yun Zhi chose to forgive, but she pursued it relentlessly.
She couldn’t do Yun Zhi’s kindness.
She didn’t know what Yunzhi would think when he heard this, whether he would be happy, or what other moods he would have.
She just did what she wanted to do.
At that time, she thought that Yun Zhi didn’t know about this matter, or that she didn’t have the slightest mood swing because of this matter.
Because Yun Zhi’s grades were still not good during that time, she heard that Yun Zhi escaped the weekly exam and handed in a blank paper.
At that time, it had been nearly a week since the incident.
She also didn’t see Yunzhi use a camera for a week.
With belated awareness, she realized that it was not the injured hand that caused Yun Zhi pain, but the affection and dreams.
She thought for a long time how to comfort Yun Zhi, even though she knew that she did not have the status of comfort.
She wants to play a fan, wants to encourage her to get back on her feet.
On the day the scholarship was awarded, she went to the camera shop with Yu Chuxue.
Camera prices vary, and even a mediocre camera will cost her all of her savings.
She has always been aware of the gap between her and Yunzhi, just like Yunzhi’s handy camera, but she needs to save it for a long, long time, and can’t even save half of it.
What’s more, Yun Zhi’s camera is not ordinary.
Facing the introduction of the clerk and the camera with a good price, she felt powerless.
“Do you want to use a camera? Just buy a low-priced one for beginners.” Yu Chuxue didn’t know what she was thinking, only thought that she wanted to learn to take pictures.
The clerk heard that he also accepted the expensive camera, and introduced to her a good and cheap camera.
But her gaze was fixed on the raised platform.
If you read correctly, that camera is Yun Zhi’s usual use.
The above price is a number that she can’t make up anyway, and she can understand more clearly the distance between her and Yunzhi.
But like a bewildered man, she asked something that seemed inexplicable to Yu Chuxue at the time—
“Can installments be made?”
But in fact, even in installments, she couldn’t achieve it.
Yu Chuxue advised her to be rational, but the clerk was embarrassed.
She also reacted to her behavior with hindsight.
But at this moment, she saw that the camera was taken away by another clerk and placed on the glass counter.
Not far from them stood two people dressed as students.
She knows them all.
Nan Qiao and Jiang Yuanan.
“I finally found it.” Nan Qiao seemed to be looking for it for a long time. When the camera was placed in front of her, she happily said to Jiang Yuan’an beside her.
“Tch, you seem like a bad friend of mine. If I hadn’t bumped into you, you would have quietly bought a camera for Zhizhi, right, and then bad-mouthed me in front of her.” Jiang Yuanan touched the camera muttered under his breath.
Nan Qiao didn’t answer her, and handed the card to the clerk directly, without even asking about the price or the discounts of recent events.
Jiang Yuan’an next to her was also surprised by her straightforwardness: “You just bought it like this? Don’t ask the price? Have you seen the price? It’s quite expensive.”
“It’s good to know that you can be happy.”
At that time, she stood aside, watching Nan Qiao and Jiang Yuan’an leave with the cameras they bought.
What Nan Qiao said to her in the basketball hall kept appearing in her mind.
She suddenly felt that Nan Qiao seemed to be right.
The difference between her and Yun Zhi is like cloud and mud.
Even if she refuses to admit it, although Nan Qiao is unreasonable to her, at least she is good to Yun Zhi.
To Yun Zhi, she may be a good person, a beloved person.
“That camera has just been bought by a customer, do you need to see anything else?”
The clerk’s voice rang in his ears.
Yu Chuxue also seemed to be aware of her depression, and handed the camera to the clerk, intending to take her away.
When Yu Chuxue handed the mediocre camera to the clerk, Yu Mingxia stopped her.
“Sister, I want to buy it.”
Yu Chuxue didn’t stop her.
They sat in the park for a long time that day.
Yu Chuxue didn’t know what happened, but just accompanied her on the bench blowing the cold wind.
She turned on the camera and took a picture of the starry sky at night.
“It turns out that the world in the camera is like this.”
“Do you want to learn photography?” Yu Chuxue asked her.
“Sister, when do you think we can have what we want at any time?”
“Wait until we realize the freedom of wealth.” Yu Chuxue said.
“After graduation, can we start a business?” It was the first time that she was so urgent and eager.
Yu Chuxue’s thinking was actually similar to hers.
Yu Chuxue had mentioned this before, so when she said this, Yu Chuxue told her her thoughts and plans.
The weather was bad that day, and the evening wind was very cool. She remembered it for a long time.
Like a thought, she threw the camera and the love letter picked up from the trash can together.
Later, she threw it in the study room, together with the classmate records, the sympathy letter, and the things related to Yunzhi.
She thought that if Yunzhi was doing well, she wouldn’t bother her.
It’s just that Yun Zhi didn’t expect that things were not going well.
She went to the photography exhibition for three days. In the center of the exhibition hall was a photo that looked ordinary to outsiders. It was a cicada seen from the glass window in the class.
If she remembered correctly, it was Yunzhi’s seat in her third year of high school.
From there you can see the world outside the window.
Not only outside the window, but also the vacant seat by the window, which belongs to Nan Qiao.
This photo is a tribute to her high school days, but also to the people she loved.
The strange thing is that even though they have no intersection, even though they haven’t seen each other for a long time, she can still know Yun Zhi’s thoughts.
She went there for three days and only saw Yunzhi on the last day.
Wearing a blue and white dress and lowering the brim of her hat, she walked through the crowd who were talking about her, not caring what others said about her.
Whether it’s dress or behavior, it’s casual like a well-known photographer.
It was still Yunzhi in her memory.
At that time, she had not seen Yunzhi for two years and four months.
She didn’t go home directly that day, and didn’t leave until the library was closed. The weather forecast says it will rain in the evening.
When she walked to the abandoned bus station with the broken ice blue in her arms and an umbrella, her palms were already so cold.
The sound of the rain made her mood fluctuate.
— Hello, I am your fan, here are flowers for you.
—Hello, my name is Yu Mingxia, can I meet you?
-Hello…
She thought for a long time, but she couldn’t think of a suitable opening statement.
No matter how you say it, it doesn’t seem right.
Does being overly courteous make Yun Zhi uneasy?
And she didn’t know if Yunzhi still remembered her name.
Will he still hate her?
The rainwater drifted into the platform and fell on the ground in front of her, soaking the ground, and a few streaks of rain stained her skirt.
When she hesitated, when she didn’t know how to talk to Yun Zhi.
What she didn’t expect was that Yun Zhi would take the initiative to speak.
she says-
“Hello, young lady.”
Polite and gentle, all her worries dissipated at that moment, and she could finally turn around and keep her eyes on her.
This is someone she has loved for a long time.
It is known.
She knew that Yun Zhi was waiting for someone, so she waited with her for a long time.
Until she had a chance to send the flowers, until a car light came on in the distance.
She knew Yun Zhi was waiting for someone to come.
And after many years, she finally said the blessing herself while she was absent-minded.
“happy Birthday.”
Happy birthday Yunzhi.
