As if nothing happened
A face full of smile appeared in front of Xu Yi's eyes. She had a pair of talking eyes and her skin was as white as jade. The only disadvantage was that there was a shallow scar from the one from her eyebrows to the bridge of her nose, which was very long, but not obvious. At first glance, others would never notice this detail because they were all infected by the girl's bright smile.
She was Xiang Bin's deskmate in her previous life, and was a very outstanding girl. She was optimistic and had a smile on her face all day long. She had excellent grades and had always been the top in the grade. She was versatile and proficient in singing and dancing. She seemed to be the central figure of her classmates no matter where she was. She was beautiful and a little thrilling and inferior. Although her face had some flaws left by childhood, it had no effect on her beauty...
Xiang Bin has been with her for nearly three years, and her career as a deskmate in the past three years is still vivid in my mind, just like what happened yesterday.
At that time, Xiang Bin could only be described as mediocre among many classmates, with no talent or appearance, and no money. In Xiang Bin's eyes, she was like a noble goddess, which made people look up to her. So from the beginning, Xiang Bin had no fantasies about her, and she didn't look for opportunities to talk to her. She secretly drew an invisible 38th parallel on the desk in her heart, without going beyond the line.
Until that time, she gently touched Xiang Bin with her arm and said with a smile: "Xiang Bin, can you tell me about this topic?"
Although Xiang Bin was a little surprised, nothing appeared on his face. He glanced at her notebook and it turned out to be a math problem that a teacher had just talked about. He was very strange. This question was not very difficult. Logically, she didn't know how to do it if she didn't exist.
However, Xiang Bin did not refuse, but explained it to her seriously. It felt good to help others, and Xiang Bin enjoyed this mood very much, not to mention that she was the one.
With the first time, there was a second time. She asked Xiang Bin more and more times, and talked to Xiang Bin more and more times. In order to cope with her problems, Xiang Bin had to draw out the time she spent playing and spending her studies. Unconsciously, his grades improved greatly. Xiang Bin's English was a mess at that time, but later the proportion of the questions she asked was increasing, so Xiang Bin began his hell journey to learn English...
Later, when I thought about it, Xiang Bin realized that she had good intentions. She had such excellent grades, so it was not difficult to have so many problems. It was just that she was really too stupid at that time, so she could not see it at all.
In the first year, Xiang Bin established a good classmate relationship with her.
The next year, Xiang Bin and her became "brothers" who could talk about everything. Under her influence, Xiang Bin changed a lot, his personality became much more cheerful, and his grades rose steadily.
In the third year, Xiang Bin also became a "top student" in the eyes of the teacher. At the same time, his mentality towards her had changed subtly, and he found that he fell in love with her hopelessly.
Usually, they still recite texts to each other as before; exercise spoken language in English; see the funny side of the teacher or classmates and then look at each other tacitly and smile with a knowing smile; bet whoever loses in the mid-term and final exam will treat you... But these behaviors have a different explanation in Xiang Bin's eyes. The feelings between brothers he thought had changed, and turned into a relationship between men and women.
Xiang Bin's eyes changed when he saw her, and he became concerned about her every frown and smile. When she was happy, Xiang Bin was happy. She was sad. Xiang Bin was also sad. At that time, he was extremely conflicted because he didn't know whether the other party had such feelings for him, which made him feel that he was very dirty. He was experiencing this distorted relationship alone, tarnishing his previous brotherly feelings. He wanted to confess to her many times, but he didn't dare. He was afraid, afraid of being rejected.
What should I do if I am rejected?
This thought tortures Xiang Bin all day long. Still being a brother as if nothing had happened before? It is absolutely impossible! Xiang Bin is very clear about this. Once the confession fails, he may not even have to do anything with his brother. And now is a critical period. Xiang Bin knows that she is preparing to take the college entrance examination, and is worried that the confession will affect her studies at this moment.
With the fear of gains and losses, Xiang Bin's learning status became depressed, his efficiency decreased, and his grades naturally declined.
She was careful to notice Xiang Bin's abnormality and asked many times, but Xiang Bin looked at her eyes full of concern and stammered, and finally she was silent.
She got angry and said that Xiang Bin did not treat her as a friend, and said that Xiang Bin was hesitant and didn't look like a man. She began to deliberately not talk to Xiang Bin. At first, she couldn't help asking, but Xiang Bin was still silent. Later, she was really angry, so the cold war between the two of them began.
Xiang Bin, who was neglected, felt very painful, but he still did not confess his love.
In this way, the Cold War continued.
In the second semester, a class teacher changed to the class. The first thing the class teacher did when he took office was to rearrange the seats. So, after two and a half years of deskmates, they separated. She was assigned to the front row, while Xiang Bin, whose grades were greatly reduced, was ranked behind.
Time seems to be able to dilute everything. Xiang Bin often watches her study from behind, watches her fight with other classmates, and smiles on her face. However, she never looked at Xiang Bin.
Although the two of them were only less than ten meters apart, Xiang Bin felt that the distance between them was getting farther and farther away, which made him feel heartbroken.
During that time, Xiang Bin, who didn't like listening to music, fell in love with a song. He listened to the song over and over again, and his heart was just painful and confused. It was a song from Guangliang's new album, called "As long as nothing happened". Xiang Bin accidentally heard her singing this song and immediately fell in love with it. He only felt that the artistic conception of this song was very similar to his current mood.
I read the book you don't read several times recently
You become silent and don't stick to anything
There is a sentence on your lips, but it hasn't been expressed to me yet
There is another shadow in your eyes
Or I'm too careful to see you wrongly
Don't let doubts overwhelm reason, but I can't explain everything
Because I love you, I can be as if nothing happened.
Don't want to listen to the words that are not pursued
We're still embracing each other
All thoughts are two things
Why don't you be as if nothing happened to me
You can be honest with yourself if you leave me
Although memories are hard to deal with, it is nothing
I will sarcastically not face reality
The two of them, who were originally brothers, were strangers afterwards, and this state continued until graduation. Xiang Bin's grades and family situation determined that he could only go directly to work in society, while she got the chance to be admitted to her ideal university. Since then, the two never talked or met again.
After graduation, Xiang Bin's feelings for her did not cool down over time, but instead became deeper and deeper. After suffering, he finally found a way to find out her address, picked up his pen, and wrote a letter to her. In the letter, Xiang Bin finally opened his heart tactfully to her.
After waiting for half a month, Xiang Bin finally received a reply, which was an empty envelope without letter paper.
Empty envelope!
Xiang Bin held the light envelope and his mind was blank. He finally got the answer, a clear answer. At this time, Xiang Bin was completely desperate about this relationship. Because in that letter, Xiang Bin was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to propose that if the answer was no, he didn't have to write a word and just reply to an empty envelope.
