Today is Valentine's Day.
Of course, for Nobi Nobita, today is just an ordinary day.
Whenever this day comes, Nobita will sneer at his behavior and thoughts that when he was a child, he always checked his shoe cabinet and drawers extremely nervously on this day, hoping to receive a chocolate or even just a card.
He is now a junior high school student, and is no longer naive enough to hope that one day he will have an extra gift-wrapped box in his shoe cabinet or drawer.
Anyway, it's impossible.
In the six years he has been in elementary school, he has only received three gifts on this day. Two of them were pranks played by Fat Tiger and Xiaohu, and the other was because someone accidentally put them in the wrong cabinet.
In junior high school, the holiday tradition of giving handmade chocolates to your sweetheart on Valentine's Day still exists. At the same time, this day is also the best time to express your love.
In the early morning, Nobita dragged his tired body to school. He was almost late today because he slept too much last night.
He originally wanted to borrow Doraemon's props, but who knew that Doraemon guy happened to go to the 22nd century to repair the props. He had no choice but to run all the way. Fortunately, he made it to school at the last moment. tram.
As soon as I stepped into the classroom, the bell rang and morning reading began.
Nobita sat back in his seat and began to look for the textbook in his schoolbag casually. If he couldn't find it in his schoolbag, he rummaged through the drawer. Others had taken out their books and were about to start reading, but he hadn't found it yet.
Nobita was flipping through it, and suddenly, a pink card fell out of the drawer. He was a little confused, so he picked it up and looked at it.
"Nobita, after school, I'll be waiting for you in the pavilion on the hillside of the back mountain. You must come. - Shizuka."
Nobita just glanced at it casually and knew that this was a prank between Fat Tiger and Xiaofu. Just when he was about to crumple the card into a ball and throw it away, suddenly, for some unknown reason, he had a sudden impulse and wanted to punish Fat Tiger in turn. and my husband.
He decided to pretend to believe it, and then pretend to write a reply to Shizuka. Of course, he would not really write it to her. Nobita just wanted to sneak around to the back when Fat Tiger and Xiaofu went to the back mountain to watch his jokes, and laugh at them in turn. .
The idea was finalized, and Nobita's performance was impressive. He really deceived Fat Tiger and Xiaofu who were peeking at Nobita's reaction not far away, thinking that he really took Shizuka's invitation seriously, and then wrote stupidly Reply to Shizuka.
Nobita, who noticed them snickering with his peripheral vision, sneered in his heart: "You are still laughing there. This year, it's my turn to punish you two."
Nobita just pretended to finish writing the reply to Shizuka, and the bell rang. He first stuffed the written reply into the drawer, then pretended to rummage for something, and then randomly took out a piece of white paper and folded it. Fold it into a rectangle like letter paper and stuff it into your pocket.
After that, when others didn't notice him, he quietly put the blank piece of paper into Shizuka's drawer, but he deliberately let Fat Tiger and Xiaofu see it so that they would believe it.
After that, he waited to watch jokes after school.
Shizuka receives a lot of chocolates every year, even from the class next door. Dekisugi is similar to her. But this year, most of the people in the class received gifts. They were actually from the seniors at the upper level. They all had one gift. In this way, even the fat tiger boy has a portion.
Although this is just a gift that the seniors bought too much from wholesale, there is still a gift at least, right?
And Nobita is one of the few who doesn't have any gifts.
Probably, his sense of presence is too low. Others didn't even send wholesale gifts to him. But this can only be blamed on the fact that he doesn't like to interact with other people, and no one knows him, right? Nobita didn't know if he was trying to comfort himself, but he was already numb to it.
When school was over at noon, Nobita was the last one to walk out of the classroom. He came to the shoe cabinet and was about to change his shoes. Suddenly, he saw several tall senior students gathered around the shoe cabinet next to him and didn't know what they were doing. There were a few swear words, but Nobita didn't pay attention.
Until the afternoon, as soon as Nobita's butt was glued to the chair, he suddenly heard a suspicious voice coming from the side, and the owner of that voice was Shizuka.
She seemed to be rummaging for something, and while taking out the neat books from the cabinet, she was still muttering about keys and something.
Nobita didn't pay too much attention, thinking that the management key of the student union was missing. Shizuka often "lost" the key in the past. The reason was that other cadres needed it urgently, so they came and took it away before they could say hello to Shizuka. .
But when he learned from the husband who loved to join in the fun that Shizuka had lost the key to her shoe cabinet, his eyes suddenly froze.
He immediately recalled those sneaky senior students at lunchtime. Cross-grade crushes were not a new trend. Those extremely shameless senior students would chase after a pretty girl for a while whenever they saw one.
The shoe cabinet was originally unlocked, but Shizuka is used to locking these personal items, and locks them as soon as people leave. Especially on Valentine's Day, she doesn't like a lot of gift boxes falling out as soon as she opens the shoe cabinet. , and everyone doesn’t know who sent them. It would be troublesome to take them home, and it would be rude not to take them home. Besides, she doesn’t know how to eat these chocolates, so she might as well just lock the door to show that she won’t accept the gifts.
Although there are still gifts stuffed into her drawer, at least she won't receive a bunch of them all of a sudden like before.
And now that the key she used to lock the shoe cabinet is missing, Nobita can basically conclude that these are the senior students who wanted to give Shizuka gifts, but when they found out that the shoe cabinet was locked, they became furious, and then they didn't know they were pregnant. With what kind of mentality, he entered the classroom during lunch break and deliberately stole the key to Shizuka's shoe cabinet.
For such a trivial matter, the teacher will most likely not agree to adjust the monitoring. Even if he agrees, it will have to go through layers of approval, which is very slow.
And Nobita thought, since he knew that it might be those senior students who did it, he might as well go and get it back for Shizuka himself.
Their class Nobita knew that at the last school sports meeting, those smart senior students were at the front holding signs. Their characteristics were very obvious, and even if Nobita didn't remember them deliberately, he could tell them from the crowd. Distinguish it.
In a junior high school, few junior students dare to go to the floor where senior students are. Even if the class representative goes to deliver homework to the teacher, he will unconsciously lower his head and speed up his steps when passing by the corridor where senior students gather, not daring to Face to face with those "vicious" senior students.
At this time, Nobita not only has to go to the senior floor, but also has to find those senior students in their classes and get Shizuka's key back. Many people may not understand how much courage it takes to do this, and most junior students don't even dare to think about it.
To be honest, Nobita was a little timid, and the keys were not necessarily held by the senior students. Just when he was hesitating, the school bell rang.
Everyone immediately got into position. On the way to class, Nobita tilted his head slightly and looked in the direction of Shizuka with a worried look on his face. He saw that she was still rummaging through her schoolbag lightly, with an anxious look on her face that almost made her cry. Out.
Seeing this, Nobita couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Why was Shizuka looking for the key to the shoe cabinet at this time? She didn't change her shoes at noon... Could it be that she wanted to take leave and go home?
Nobita suddenly thought that this might be the case. The lock of the shoe cabinet could not be opened, so she could not change shoes or leave the school. And she must have something urgent to do when she asked for leave, so she was looking for the key here so anxiously.
Thinking of this, Nobita secretly made up his mind. Since he was not sure whether the key was taken by the senior students, he decided to go up and take a look first.
After class, he was the first to walk out of the classroom and walked slowly to the third floor with an uneasy mood. Along the way, the senior students rushed down the stairs while shouting and went to the canteen to buy snacks. Nobita said without saying a word He walked past them with his head lowered, but still got a pat on the head from someone unknown.
Junior students, especially those like Nobita who seem to be honest and easy to bully, are often teased by senior students. This is normal.
Not to mention Nobita, even Fat Tiger has been teased. Last time, during morning exercises, Pang Hu, who was the sports committee member, led the team to the front. But not long after leaving the class, a senior team suddenly walked towards them not far away.
I don’t know why, but after seeing Fat Tiger, the sports committee member who was the leader of the senior team suddenly and inadvertently leaned to the side. As a result, when the two teams intersected, the senior sports committee member straightened up. His chest bumped into Fat Tiger's shoulder, causing the unsuspecting Fat Tiger to stumble and almost lose his balance.
And when Fat Tiger turned around angrily and glared at the senior sports committee member, the man was still walking forward as if nothing had happened, without saying a word or even turning his head, as if he had just bumped into Human beings are not the same as him.
Finally, Nobita stepped onto the floor on the third floor. Because it was get out of class time, the surroundings were very noisy. Nobita used to walk quickly with his head down when passing by, but now he had to raise his head to look at the class cards.
As soon as he looked up, he immediately saw a tall and tall senior student. He had a gloomy look on his face and was obviously in an extremely unhappy mood.
But fortunately, that person was being lectured by the dean, so he could only stand there obediently with his hands behind his back.
Nobita couldn't help but swallowed. The floor of senior students was like an inaccessible virgin forest, with poisonous snakes and beasts running rampant, and fatal dangers lurking everywhere.
At this time, Nobita's chest seemed to be pressed by a huge boulder, making him somewhat breathless.
The noise and laughter around him never stopped. Nobita tried to calm himself down and matched the class name in his mind with the class card where his eyes fell on over and over again.
Soon, he saw the string of class codes he wanted.
Even more coincidentally, there were three boys standing outside the corridor of that class, and the boy standing in the middle seemed to be playing with something in his hands, which was shining.
Nobita could tell at a glance that it was a silver key, and the bear keychain on it was exactly the same as Shizuka's.
Checking the time, it was already very close to the preparation bell for class. Nobita happened to see them coming out of the class at this time, still holding the key in his hand. If he missed this opportunity, he would get the key back next time. It might be difficult.
Shizuka's anxious expression kept replaying in his mind. Nobita decided to give it a try and grab the key directly when the senior students were not paying attention.
Just do it, Nobita worked hard, and immediately forgot all the possible consequences, because he didn't want to see Shizuka sad because of this matter again.
To be honest, Nobita had never run so fast in his life. When the senior students were not paying attention, he rushed over quickly, grabbed the key from the man's hand, and then ran like crazy.
When those students reacted, the school bell just rang, but just as Nobita was running all the way, he secretly rejoiced and felt that God was helping him. Suddenly, he bumped into a tall figure head-on, and then directly He fell to the ground.
At the same time, he only heard the senior students behind him shouting a few times, as if they were calling someone's name. Then, Nobita felt as if he was being pulled up by his collar.
He struggled desperately, but to no avail. His mouth was tightly held down. The senior students who came immediately grabbed his hair without saying a word, and used the crowd returning to class as a cover to pull him away. Went to a men's room nearby.
Nobita was thrown to the ground, looking at the senior students with a horrified look on his face, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body was trembling with despair, and his endless fear was like a vicious snake, biting his body wantonly. Body.
Nobita originally thought that they could only return to the classroom obediently after hearing the school bell, but he underestimated the boldness of this group of people who were ignorant and idle all day long. They were absent from class, did not hand in homework, and even skipped school. This has become the norm. They no longer take school seriously, so what if they return to the classroom later?
In the next fifteen minutes, Nobita was spit on at least a dozen times, slapped on the face several times, a lot of hair was torn off, and kicked in various parts of the body. I went to the toilet several times, my body was covered with dirty water and footprints on the toilet floor, and I received countless swear words and insults.
But no matter what, Nobita just wouldn't let go. He clenched his teeth, curled up into a ball, and said nothing, holding Shizuka's key tightly in his hand. At that time, he only thought of one sentence:
"Gotta hurry...give the key to Shizuka...she's still waiting..."
Perhaps they were tired from the beating, or they had to leave. After an unknown amount of time, the senior students finally kicked Nobita, and then left with curses.
Nobita was already beaten to the point of dying and could hardly stand up, but after a moment, Shizuka's anxious look appeared in his mind again.
"Jingxiang must be very anxious now, I have to hurry up..."
With this thought in mind, Nobita stood up with difficulty, dragged his body that was in unbearable pain, cleaned himself up in front of the mirror, tried his best to pretend that nothing happened, and then limped away from the third floor.
There was still class at this time, and Nobita didn't dare to go back to the classroom, so he came to the edge of the playground, thinking about the reasons for absenteeism and how to quietly return the key to Shizuka.
Finally, he decided to insert the key directly back into the lock of Shizuka's shoe cabinet.
Since class is still in session, there is no one near the shoe cabinet, so this is a good opportunity to quietly return the key.
"When Shizuka comes here later and finds that the key has been returned, she will be very happy, right?"
Nobita seemed to have forgotten the pain, and he smiled very happily when he thought that Shizuka would no longer be troubled by it.
After that, Nobita was invited to the office for tea because of his poor excuse for absenteeism. When the teacher asked about Nobita's injuries, Nobita lied to deal with it.
When he came out, the confused Nobita happened to pass by the shoe cabinet, and the next second, he spotted Shizuka standing in front of his shoe cabinet.
The lock of the shoe cabinet has been unlocked, and Shizuka is patting her chest gently with her palms, seeming to finally breathe a sigh of relief. Then, she takes out a gift-wrapped box from the shoe cabinet and touches it gently with her hands. He seems to care about this very much.
"……Um?"
Nobita didn't know what it was, but he knew it couldn't be a gift from someone else, because Shizuka's shoe cabinet was always locked.
There was still the last class before school ended this afternoon. Nobita did not go to class. Instead, the teacher arranged for him to go to the infirmary. When he came out, the school bell rang.
Shizuka didn't ask for leave, and she went to the third period class as usual. Nobita was a little confused about this, but he didn't take it too seriously.
On the way back to the classroom, when passing by the shoe cabinet, Nobita couldn't help but subconsciously look in the direction of Shizuka's shoe cabinet.
Suddenly, he froze.
"Demu Shan, this... is for you."
…
The setting sun drowned in the clouds, a blood red color.
Nobita was walking alone on his way home from school, his lonely back stretched very, very long.
At this moment, a small piece of sunset fell on his shoulder, cold, like a red snowflake.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, he just felt weak all over. Even though it was a hot summer day, he felt the surroundings were bone-chillingly cold.
When he came to the canal, Nobita suddenly wanted to sit on the grass and stare at the red sky and the tram passing by not far away.
For some reason, he suddenly felt like crying, and his nose suddenly became blocked, forcing him to breathe through his mouth. As soon as he took a breath, a large mouthful of cold air was swallowed down his throat unprepared. .
…
After an unknown amount of time, it was getting dark. Nobita stood up, patted the grass stuck to his butt, and prepared to leave.
"This should be from Minoko, the packaging is very unique, right... And this, Shizuka gave it to me to thank me for lending her the notes to copy. Although she didn't make it herself, I'm very grateful. Where is she?"
Suddenly, at this moment, Nobita's voice came from behind De Mushan. He was followed by several people, including Fat Tiger and Xiaofu, who were helping De Mushan transport the chocolates he received today.
"Hey! Nobita, why don't you go to the back mountain? Shizuka is waiting for you there! Hahahaha!"
When Fat Tiger discovered Nobita, he immediately laughed out loud. He originally wanted to go directly to the back mountain after school to watch Nobita's jokes, but when he heard that Dekishan could share the chocolate with them, he immediately changed his plan and decided to First, help Demu Shan transport the chocolates back home.
As soon as Fat Tiger finished speaking, Xiaofu did not forget to fan the flames: "That's right! Only Nobita would believe such an obvious prank, hahahaha!"
Nobita ignored Fat Tiger and Xiao Fu, but smiled lightly and passed them by.
Along the way, Nobita thought over and over again what Dekisugi had just said in the second half. Suddenly, he felt that the surroundings seemed to have become warmer, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly.
Then, he raised his head and gradually accelerated his pace. Birds were singing, flowers were smiling, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured down like a piece of golden satin, gently embracing his body.
People are always like this. They are distressed by one small thing, but at the same time they can be radiant by another small thing.
At this time, Nobita was taking the completely opposite way to go home. While it was still dark, he decided to be willing to be a fool for once.
Soon, Nobita arrived at the entrance of the back mountain. Fragmented light filtered through the dense branches and leaves, illuminating his face vaguely.
The pavilion halfway up the mountain is said to be halfway up the mountain, but in fact it is still some distance away. You only need to walk a few steps to get there.
Nobita walked up, kicking pebbles and looking down at the muddy land under his feet.
He has been very familiar with the back mountain since childhood. He can even tell which section of mountain road it is just by looking at what the small stones around him look like.
Soon, the big brown stone inlaid on the ground reminded him that the pavilion halfway up the mountain was coming soon.
When Nobita saw this, he sighed slightly and lowered his eyes. Then, he raised his head and looked absently towards the pavilion not far away.
...I saw a slender figure in school uniform sitting on the seat of the pavilion. She had her back to Nobita, her hair tied in a short ponytail, her hands behind her back, and she seemed to be humming a cheerful ditty. The little legs hanging under the seat were swinging back and forth, and there was a white box beside him.
On top of the box, a crumpled white paper was gently swaying in the wind.
