Chapter 6
When Jiang Wei and Xia Shuo reached the top of the mountain, the companions who went up first had already spread the tablecloth on the grass, chatting enthusiastically while eating the food they brought.

A boy saw them and laughed wickedly: "Oh, no wonder I haven't seen you two yet, so I sneaked out to go on a date."

Before Xia Shuo had time to speak, he was abducted by several boys laughing and putting their shoulders on his shoulders, and he didn't have time to look back at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei looked around at the unfamiliar faces, caught Zhao Mengfan who was waving at him in the crowd, and hurried over.

As soon as I sat down beside Zhao Mengfan and took the sushi she handed over, I heard the other party's voice: "Why didn't I find you just now?"

"I didn't have the strength to crawl, and I fell behind." Actually, what she wanted to ask was Xia Shuo, right?
Zhao Mengfan hesitated for a moment: "With Xia Shuo?"

Sure enough, only I can catch any of her thoughts.

"Well, he said he was sleepy and didn't want to move."

"Alas... what a pity, we caught up with the sunrise just now, did you miss it?" Shaking his head regretfully, he bit off a piece of sushi.

Jiang Wei saw a little jam on the corner of her mouth, and took a tissue from beside him to help her wipe it off: "I see."

"Ah? Did you see it?" Zhao Mengfan subconsciously touched her mouth following her movements.

"Yeah." Jiang Wei crumpled up the tissue and threw it aside, "It's halfway up the mountain."

On the mountainside.

The memory that will never be put together with the dust for a lifetime, wipe it clean forever, and put it in the place where the light will always shine in the heart.In the early morning of that day, standing at the windward opening on the mountainside, side by side with Xia Shuo, he silently watched the magnificent sunrise.

Those who have never forgotten, the feeling of love for the first time.

The companions had enough sushi, opened beer and drinks again, and clamored that they would sing together with wine.Xie Yayi was the first to stand up enthusiastically, holding a paper cup as a microphone and singing vague pop songs.The boys and girls around whistled and cheered.

Jiang Wei walked a little farther away from them, found a clean place to sit down, and took out a sketchbook and an apple from his backpack.When she was about to take out the pencil again, her fingers touched the bag of sugar she bought in the small shop.

Snow and card's, red wrapping paper.

Jiang Wei took it out and put it aside with Apple.

I just started a few strokes, but I don't know what to draw.Jiang Wei had no choice but to take a pencil and make gestures while framing the scene.At this moment, a figure sat down beside her, making a rustling sound.

Jiang Wei looked to the side, just in time to meet Yu Xinye's gaze, stared at each other for two seconds, and then turned his gaze back.

Yu Xinye pulled a piece of grass from the ground at his feet, with crystal dew on it, pinched it on his fingertips and rubbed it repeatedly, smiling at her: "Why don't you go over there?"

"Not interested in."

"You are really weird."

"Oh."

"Quite withdrawn and out of gregarious."

"That's really embarrassing."

Yu Xinye smiled and threw away the grass stalk in his hand, and wiped his hands on his clothes: "If you didn't have Zhao Mengfan, I really thought you had autism."

"Does that mean I still have to thank her?"

"Thanks to me, No thanks!"

"Bastard!"

"Ha!" Yu Xinye saw Jiang Wei's toffee and picked it up, "You really bought this."

"Hmm..." Didn't you ask me to buy it?
"I ate it."

"Well... take it yourself."

Then there was the sound of tearing the wrapping paper, and a candy wrapped in a smaller red wrapping paper was handed over: "Here."

Yu Xinye's fingers were thin and long, and his palm was slightly larger than Jiang Wei's. His nails were clean and round, and the palm was a bit rough, with some translucent thin spots.The standard boy's hands are cleaner than other boys' hands.

Jiang Wei took it, tearing the candy wrapper.

The candy wrappers reflected white light.

Yu Xinye also took out a candy, and peeled off the candy wrapper.The morning wind was blowing, blowing a strand of hair, and after the wind calmed down, it was softly pasted back to the face.

A few white rays of sky sprinkled from the gaps between the leaves, and the time was silent and long.

After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Wei had almost finished drawing the line draft of a painting, his legs were numb and limp.The mottled light falls on the white paper pages of the sketchbook in pieces, and the places illuminated by the light spots and the rest of the places shaded by trees form blocks of different shades.

Yu Xinye left twice, once to be called to sing, and the other time to get a drink.

He handed Jiang Wei a box of juice.Jiang Wei held the carton and drank it one mouthful at a time. Yu Xinye squatted beside her and pulled open the tab of the can with a snap.

"It's Sprite?" Jiang Wei glanced at the drink in Yu Xinye's hand.

"Do you want it?"

Jiang Wei shook his head: "I thought you could drink beer." Almost everyone else was drinking beer, but he unexpectedly came back with a can of Sprite in a surprising way.

"I'm much better than them."

"Well, all the way."

"Really."

"boiled."

“The boiled ribs are delicious.”

"Children with brain disabilities have a lot of fun, which is really inspiring."

"Poison tongue girl!"

"The brain hypoxic man!"

"..." After choking, Yu Xinye was so choked by Jiang Wei that he couldn't speak, so he turned his head angrily, drank his drink depressedly, and stopped talking.

Jiang Wei held the juice box and turned to look at him.

A young man with jet-black hair, dark pupils that always draw people's attention involuntarily, a straight nose, and likes to make girls happy.I can feel his closeness to each girl, neither approaching nor leaving, just looking at each other from the most ambiguous distance.He chatted and laughed with girls, and he could put his hands into girls' pockets at any time to make intimate moves.He invited her to drink milk tea, he showed her the magical experiment of burning magnesium bars, and he walked over from the noise of the crowd, keeping the pervasive feeling of being rejected away from her.

Half of Yu Xinye's face was in the light, and the other half was silent in the shadows, his facial features were clear and distinct.

He is a boat floating on the lake, turbulent all the time just like his character.He treats people well not because he has any different feelings towards them, but because he enjoys the ambiguous gaze brought by his thoughtfulness and chic alone.He doesn't have the delicate and fake face of the male protagonists in Korean dramas on the screen, but he has an attitude towards every girl who is determined to win.

At this moment, Jiang Wei suddenly had such a thought involuntarily:
Wouldn't it be better if... the person who made my heart move was Yu Xinye instead of the complete opposite Xia Shuo?
In the end, Zhao Mengfan pulled her back, and mysteriously poked Jiang Wei's waist along the way: "You and Yu Xinye were alone together? Did you really have something before? Tell me!"

"Nothing at all."

"Liar! I've seen it all."

"Say no."

"Oh, you said it, there must be!" Sure enough, it was Zhao Mengfan who I was most familiar with, with ambiguous eyes and a ambiguous smile. Me, when did you get involved?"

Jiang Wei stopped suddenly, causing Zhao Mengfan to stop too.She turned her face away, avoiding Zhao Mengfan's gaze, and said clearly, "Don't ask again, okay?"

please.

Enough is enough.

The people who are playing are still continuing to play in full swing.Jiang Wei leaned against a rock and thought about things, but did not join them. Sometimes thinking about it, he always felt that he was here as a foil.

"Ah, there is only one person left!" There was a sudden noise from over there, and a girl shouted loudly, "There is one person left before the game can start!"

childish.Jiang Wei curled his lips.

In the end, the result of dismissing the "childish game" was: "Xia Shuo, where is the woman who came up with you just now? Why didn't you see her? Ask her to come with you too."

"Huh? Xia Shuo, which girl is it?" Some people gossiped.

"Yes, yes—get her over here quickly so we can have a look."

Such an ending is that Xia Shuo rolled his eyes at them and said "Don't talk nonsense", while shouting at Jiang Wei who was not far away: "Jiang Wei, come and play together!"

It was somewhat unnatural to walk up to Xia Shuo and sit next to Xia Shuo in full view, but according to their words, it was "Because Xia Shuo called you over, so you have to sit next to him".

Where did the heresy come from?

"Why don't you come over to play?" After sitting down for a while, Xia Shuo turned his head to talk to her actively.He smelled of alcohol, probably because he had a drink with everyone just now.

I couldn't find a suitable reason for a while, so I just smiled: "Oh... I don't like to join in the fun."

"Seeing you alone is lonely sometimes."

"Huh?" Jiang Wei was confused, not knowing what to contact, "Why?"

"Even if you always stay with Zhao Mengfan..." Xia Shuo smiled gently at her and took a can of drink, "But most of the time, aren't you alone? If Zhao Mengfan If you're not here, you wouldn't take the initiative to talk to other people, would you?"

Jiang Wei saw clearly that what he was holding was wine: "Really? I've never felt this way before..."

Sure enough, he was withdrawn, even Xia Shuo thought so.

In other words, if Zhao Mengfan, the only friend, is also lost, will he really be in an embarrassing isolation or be isolated?
But, hasn't it always been like this?
Saying I can't feel it is actually numb.She often abandons herself without warning, talking and laughing arm in arm with other girls, forgetting herself to the sky.How can I not feel this kind of loneliness?
But if you can't even bear this, then you don't even have your only friend, so where's the time to pick and choose?
Someone began to pass bread over there, and when it came here, Xia Shuo took one to her: "Here."

"Oh...thank you." Jiang Wei took it.

Very polite and polite answer.

But with his current status, he couldn't think of a more suitable answer to him.

"Actually, I really want to know..." Hearing her question, Xia Shuo turned around, "What do you think of me?"

Xia Shuo's expression was very surprised.

Jiang Wei just smiled at him, even she herself didn't know why she asked such a question.

"Very good." Xia Shuo made such a concluding speech.

Jiang Wei lowered his eyelids.

Very nice, you are very nice.

really.

She had to confirm over and over again before she was willing to admit her failure in front of Zhao Mengfan. Even if the thought that flashed through her mind just now was telling "try to confess", she seemed to have this plan.But when she heard the pertinent and perfunctory evaluation of "very good", she calmed down and settled her impatience.

It was clear from the beginning that she was the loser.When did it start?Family background?character?Hypocrisy's poor little trick?appearance?popularity?Or when she said to Zhao Mengfan, "Don't ask again, okay?"Or was there a long distance between the two girls from the very beginning?
Since that is the case.

Even if you lose, you have to lose face.

Must not be seen.

Jiang Wei raised his head and smiled at Xia Shuo again: "What about Zhao Mengfan? What do you think of her?"

"..." Xia Shuo was stunned for two seconds, as if he couldn't find an adjective.

Jiang Wei laughed again.Sure enough, the loser is destined to be himself.Although they don't know how they lost, maybe it was time, or maybe it was just because Zhao Mengfan knew Xia Shuo before her.

"its not bad, right?"

Xia Shuo hesitated for two seconds, and finally nodded.

"Then..." Jiang Wei turned his gaze to Zhao Mengfan, who was fighting with other girls in the distance, "Would you like to try with her?"

She told herself that she definitely didn't want to help her, but just by the way, and she still annoyed her very much.So, definitely not trying to help her.Since Xia Shuo has no feelings for her, and since she is destined to be the loser, then she is just helping Zhao Mengfan to match up.

Because she lost, it was just by the way, and definitely not because of any other reasons.Not because she is Zhao Mengfan, not because they are good friends.

Really just by the way.

Only.

Xia Shuo looked at her steadfastly for just a second, then smiled, his eyes were as cold and soft as ever.

He turned sideways, revealing the strange girl sitting beside him who had been covered by his body before.

The girl is not the particularly beautiful type, but she is thin and small, very cute.At this time, she was chatting happily with someone else, completely oblivious to their conversation.

"Although it feels good, I can't promise you. Here, this is my girlfriend."

This is my girlfriend.

It was past eleven o'clock in the morning when we went down the mountain, and we all went to have lunch together.Jiang Wei originally planned to go back directly, but Zhao Mengfan dragged Jiang Wei to not let her go, saying something in his mouth, "I am boring without you".Jiang Wei thought, isn't it me who is alone every time and you chat with others in full swing?But in the end, he didn't say anything, just said "You are really troublesome", which is considered a promise.

A group of people entered the restaurant in a mighty manner, and three tables were filled to the brim.

As soon as Jiang Wei entered the restaurant they suggested, he immediately regretted it.Everything is very expensive, even the most common salted peanuts cost ten yuan a plate, and other things are even more expensive.Who knows who actually ordered three cups of beef vermicelli soup in a row. Jiang Wei glanced at the unit price and stopped looking at it.

I shouldn't have followed, I already knew that these high-consumption things are not affordable by myself.

The people around ordered their food one by one, and it seemed that Jiangwei was about to arrive. Zhao Mengfan took the menu handed over by the person next to him and flipped through it a few times. Wu's little hands were playing with Jiang Wei's nerves.

"Well, ribs rice, it's ready to cover the ribs rice." He said and pushed the menu towards Jiang Wei, "here."

A pork rib rice is 27 yuan, a cup of milk tea is 18 yuan, and a cup of beef vermicelli soup is 65 yuan.

A log 4B pencil is 60 cents, a pack of [-] drawing paper is [-] yuan, and a better picture clip is [-] yuan.

This is the gap between reality and dreams.

I can't bear it, I really can't bear it at all.

Jiang Wei was about to say "I want to go home", when suddenly a bowl of steaming beef noodles was pushed in front of Jiang Wei: "Do you want to eat this?"

Jiang Wei suddenly raised his head, it was Yu Xinye sitting on his left.

Yu Xinye turned his head and smiled at her: "The beef noodles here are great." After speaking, he turned his head and shouted to the waiter who was busy taking the order, "I want another bowl of beef noodles! I want a curry rice."

Jiang Wei still looked at him in surprise.

Yu Xinye turned his head to meet her gaze, and asked with a smile, "Don't you like beef?"

"No... not..."

"Then hurry up and eat. Oh, do you want a cake? Wait a minute, I'll bring you a plate. They have too much money to burn."

Immediately, the voice of "Xinye, I want it too" came from the surroundings. Yu Xinye threw a pack of tissues and threw it on the man's face, laughing and scolding: "Order yourself, bastard! Why are you so rich to grab a girl!" As he spoke, he walked to another table, and the voice of "Yu Xinye, take it over again, be careful I'll eat all your curry rice" and the counterattack of "Eat yours".

Speechless.

No one remembered that Jiang Wei hadn't ordered food yet, and no one took care of it. Who knew when that menu was taken away.Surrounded by peaceful noises, in front of him was a small plate of cake and a bowl of steaming beef noodles brought by Yu Xinye.
