Chu Xuan took Zhao Shuangshuang's little hand, and the two of them walked out of the food court. It wasn't until they completely shook off Xu Shanshan that the girl beside him gently broke away from his hand.
Zhao Shuangshuang, who was slightly out of breath, raised her cheeks, and her beautiful eyes stared blankly at the side of Chu Xuan's face.
Chu Xuan touched his cheek and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that Chu Xuan, you seem to be different today. In the past, you were all about Xu Shanshan. She told you to never dare to go eastward or westward."
Chu Xuan naturally knew how stupid he was in the past. He didn't want to bring up the past, so he changed the topic:
"I was too stupid in the past. There was a girl who was more worthy of my cherishment, but I still pursued the one I could never get... But fortunately, I came back and everything was in time."
Chu Xuan had a smile in his eyes.
The girl next to him widened her eyes in confusion, and there was a faint flash of aura in her eyes.
"Hurry up and eat what you have in your hand. It won't taste good after it gets cold for a while. By the way, I'll take you back!"
The girl originally wanted to refute, but she hesitated and finally chose to remain silent.
The two walked side by side.
At night, the city lights up with thousands of lights.
A bright moon hangs overhead.
The silver moonlight shines on the bodies of young girls, and everything seems so quiet and beautiful.
There was tenderness in Chu Xuan's eyes. This scene before him often appeared in his dreams, so he tried his best to open his eyes wide, trying to remember this moment firmly in his heart.
"Would it be nice to have a camera?"
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"In this way, all the good things can be recorded and preserved forever."
"Isn't it the same thing to keep it in mind?"
"No, after a long time, it is still easy to forget. For example, I can't remember your face."
"Don't we meet every day?"
"Really?...Yes, from now on, we will see each other every day."
Chu Xuan sent Zhao Shuangshuang to a residential building. Originally, Chu Xuan wanted to send her upstairs, but the girl firmly refused.
So Chu Xuan stood there and watched her figure disappear into the elevator.
When he turned around, the smile in Chu Xuan’s eyes became gentler.
According to the memory in his mind, Chu Xuan returned to his home.
My parents were not seen at home.
The vague memories slowly become clear!
When he was in junior high school, his parents went out to work and opened a barber shop in other places. In order to make a living, the family was forced to separate.
I remember crying and making trouble when I was a child, and then I gradually accepted the fact that I was living alone.
Speaking of which, the reason why I failed in the college entrance examination was due to lack of supervision at home!
Looking at everything familiar and unfamiliar in front of him, Chu Xuan suddenly felt tired, and then fell into a deep sleep.
…
'Ding ding ding~'
Early the next morning.
The alarm bell rang in his ears, and Chu Xuan felt his brain was dizzy.
Since graduating from college and becoming a freelance writer, Chu Xuan's life pattern has been completely reversed. He can't remember how long it has been since he heard the sound of the alarm clock.
He sat up groggily.
The moment he opened his eyes, Chu Xuan felt that he might not have woken up yet.
What appeared in front of him was not his dirty doghouse, but a boy's bedroom full of vitality.
The bookshelf filled with books, the desk with textbooks, and most importantly, the young face in the bedside mirror!
"Sure enough, everything that happened yesterday was not a dream. I was really reborn."
After sitting on the bed in a daze for a minute, Chu Xuan found that he was not as shocked or excited as he had imagined.
At forty years old, my heart, which has been tortured by life, has long since become as solid as a rock.
Very calmly, he grabbed the T-shirt with the monogram printed on it and put it on his head. When he put on his jeans, he sighed again. His greasy and fat general belly disappeared, replaced by a full-faced look. A healthy eighteen-year-old body!
Chu Xuan glanced at the calendar on the desk.
May 4, 2008.
There are still 29 days until the college entrance examination.
Glancing at the rising sun outside the window, I couldn't help but think of the girl last night.
The corners of his mouth slowly curved into a brilliant arc.
He stuffed the books on the desk into his schoolbag and slung them over his shoulders. Just when he was about to turn around and set off, he accidentally saw the camera on the desk from the corner of his eye.
He thought of his regrets last night, hesitated for a moment, and then stuffed the camera into his schoolbag.
The school is not far from home. Walking along the street, everything in front of me seems so familiar and friendly.
The moment Chu Xuan stepped into the school gate, looking at the youthful faces around him, his heart beat unconsciously.
He came to the classroom door with brisk steps.
Because he didn't take any time to get up, and because he didn't eat breakfast, it was still very early when Chu Xuan came to the class, and there were only a few people in the whole class.
His eyes subconsciously turned to the classroom near the window.
There, the beautiful figure with a thick and long whip was lying quietly on the desk.
At this time, the rising sun was shining on the side of her face, and the gentle wind blew the naughty hair on her forehead. Everything looked so beautiful.
With a slight movement in his heart, Chu Xuan, who was standing at the door of the class, opened his schoolbag and took out his camera without rushing into the classroom.
He adjusted the focus skillfully, and then pointed the lens at her by the window.
By the window, the girl took out her textbook. After opening it, she seemed to feel a little uncomfortable with her glasses.
So she gently took off the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and when she was picking up a tissue to wipe the lenses, she suddenly felt a glare. She subconsciously looked up and saw the figure at the door of the class, and a flash of joy flashed in her eyes.
Chu Xuan raised the corners of his mouth and said loudly to the girl:
"Xiao Shuang, smile!"
Hearing this, the girl by the window suddenly remembered that last night, under the moonlight, Chu Xuan once said that he wanted to use a camera to capture all the beautiful scenes.
As a result, the agility in the girl's eyes was slowly replaced by a smile.
A bright smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Pfft!"
The girl with the flawless face smiled heartlessly. .
"Crack!"
Chu Xuan, who had quick eyes and quick hands, immediately pressed the shutter.
In the camera, the picture freezes.
The sunlight outside the window shines on one side of the girl's cheek. The girl's cheek glows slightly, with that kind of warm, faint light. This makes the lens a little white, and the photo looks like a yellowish trance.
Under the lens, there are even spots caused by light and shadow, making the whole photo look like an old photo.
But among all the tones, one can clearly see the girl turning her head and looking back.
The sunshine in spring is bright and warm, and the girl's smile is bright and brilliant.
She was like a fairy coming out of a painting.
Everything looks so beautiful and romantic.
At this time, Chu Xuan, who was holding a camera in his hand, was in a daze, staring at the photo that he had been thinking about for many years.
At this moment, he just wanted to keep this photo.
In this way, no matter how much time passes, he can still see her picturesque smile.
