Mei Fang and Guo Yun have been sitting at the same table for more than a month, but this is the first time she has seen such an excited expression.
[Have you seen it too?]
[I've seen it, it's my favorite anime! No doubt about it! ]
[Indeed, it is a well-deserved masterpiece. It made me cry.]
[Me too, me too! Especially when watching afterstory! ]
In this way, Guo Yun and Mei Fang chatted with each other for the whole afternoon.
At the end of the lunch break, the two still looked unsatisfied. Guo Yun rubbed her eyes and yawned, saying with some emotion:
"But, I never thought... Mei Fang would like this kind of anime."
Mei Fang was a little dissatisfied after hearing this, "Huh? Why can't I like it?"
"Ah... That's not what I meant. I just thought boys only liked the likes of Naruto and One Piece..."
"Okay, don't be so serious."
Mei Fang smiled slightly and said, "I was just joking with you."
"Ah... OK."
It is a very happy thing no matter how you look at it to meet people who like the same anime at school.
That night, Guo Yun tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
She repeatedly reminded herself to remember to pay Mei Fang back tomorrow. Finally, she was so worried that she would not remember, so she stood up and wrote it down in her notebook and placed it on the desk.
In addition, you need to prepare a loan card
Mei Fang is so nice to me and lent me his meal card. What gift should I give him
He likes games, how about buying him some game cards for his favorite games
He likes anime, so you can also give him comic books!
Guo Yun thought for a long time, and finally began to struggle again:
But, but, will he think I'm making a big deal out of nothing
Yes, yes, definitely!
But if I don't give him anything, it would seem that I'm very impolite and he would definitely not help me again.
Ahhh…
Guo Yun tossed and turned in bed, unable to decide what to give Mei Fang in return, and slept in a daze until the next day.
The next day, Mei Fang arrived at the classroom on time and saw three dollars and a bottle of banana milk on her desk.
Mei Fang put the money away and looked at Guo Yun who was very nervous.
"What does this mean?"
"It's just... you helped me, and I want to return the favor."
"I only lent you three dollars. A bottle of banana milk costs four or five dollars, right?"
"Isn't this inappropriate?"
"Well... how should I put it, it's not inappropriate."
Mei Fang thought for a moment, "But since you've already invited me, wouldn't it be disrespectful of me if I don't accept it? Thank you, I'll try it... I've never had anything this expensive."
"It's quite delicious! Let me tell you..."
Guo Yun watched Mei Fang gulp down the banana milk.
My heart feels sweeter than honey.
Mei Fang accepted Guo Yun's kindness, so naturally she wanted to say a few more words about Guo Yun's current situation.
"I'm not making fun of you... I actually think you're a pretty good person, why do you have no friends?"
Guo Yun looked at Mei Fang with an incredulous look as if she had been discovered, and almost made Mei Fang laugh.
"Why does he look like he's been discovered? Is there anyone who can't see that?"
“Ah… that’s right.”
Guo Yun sighed and said, "I'm ugly, fat, and smelly, so no one likes to play with me."
"She is a bit fat indeed... I don't smell anything, as for whether she is ugly or not..."
Mei Fang smiled slightly and said, "I think you are very cute like this."
…
!!!
Guo Yun continued to stare at Mei Fang with disbelief. Apart from her family members, this was the first time that a classmate of the same age praised Guo Yun for being cute.
"You, you, you... you don't have to comfort me like this!"
"It's not comforting. Why should I comfort you?"
Mei Fang said as she took another sip of banana milk. "If I disliked your ugliness or disliked you, I wouldn't have agreed to let them change seats, right?"
"Uh-huh."
After a moment of hesitation, Guo Yun nodded slightly.
yes.
If you really hate it that much, you won't agree to it so easily.
At least, it's not disgusting.
Um.
Um.
Guo Yun blushed a little and her ears felt hot.
However, Mei Fang did not notice these changes. He patted Guo Yun on the shoulder generously:
"So, I think you can be more proactive and try to communicate more with others so that they can get to know you. That way you will have a chance to make friends."
"Otherwise, if you always keep your head down and don't talk, who would know what kind of person you are?"
"You, you, I think you are right! But..."
Guo Yun also understood this.
But now she was nervous about the physical contact with Mei Fang.
What's more, it is not easy to take that step!
"Oh, don't say so many buts. I think if you can communicate with me like you talked to me about Clannad, people won't find you difficult to get along with."
Mei Fang thought for a moment and said, "Besides, if you can help friends in need, like me, this would be a good starting point."
"Wait, wait a minute... Let me take some notes!"
Guo Yun listened carefully to every word of Teacher Mei's speech.
She is already in the second year of junior high school, and everyone understands a lot of things, and Guo Yun is no exception.
But for Guo Yun, sometimes someone still has to speak up and tell her that it is okay to do so.
She will feel that it is really possible.
yes.
People just don't understand me well enough, so they stay away from me.
When I was in my previous class, there were still some classmates I could talk to!
I don’t know if the other party considers me as a friend though…
Guo Yun thought about ways to change herself.
She has always been accustomed to living a life of submission and muddle-headedness.
But now she needs to take the initiative.
Because Mei Fang is also expecting her to change.
A good opportunity is the spring cleaning on Friday.
Guo Yun was assigned to clean the tiles.
To wipe the tiles, you need a rag, and the rag needs to be fetched with water. It is not an easy job for girls, so two people have to work in a group.
Seeing that her group member, Jiaojiao, who almost became her deskmate, had a somewhat dejected expression, Guo Yun tried to take the initiative to approach her and talk to her.
This was a chance to change the way she thought about herself.
"Well, I'll go fetch the water by myself!"
"Can you... do it alone?" The girl with glasses was a little uncertain, "How about we go together?"
"It's okay, I'm strong!"
"Well, thank you then."
Jiaojiao was waiting for Guo Yun to come back with the bucket. When she saw her carrying the bucket carefully and swaying slowly from side to side as she moved forward, she suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
Ha ha.
It looks like a penguin.
However, Guo Yun's proactive attack did win some favor from everyone. At least Jiaojiao began to take the initiative to talk to Guo Yun.
Guo Yun is also trying hard to find common topics with the girls.
"Oh! Guo Yun, do you have the latest Fireworks comics?"
"Ah... Yeah, yes, I like it."
"Can you lend it to me after you finish reading it? I love it so much."
"Sure... I've read it enough, so I'll lend it to you now."
"Oh! We haven't talked much before, I didn't expect you to be such a nice person! Thank you very much."
"No, you're welcome!"
Guo Yun could hardly hide her happiness on her face and handed her magazine to the other party.
However, Mei Fang, who was sitting at the same table, suddenly felt a little surprised when he saw this scene.
"Well, Guo Yun... have you really finished reading it? I see you just brought it here to read today."
"It's okay... I haven't been particularly interested in that magazine lately, so I can just read something else."
Guo Yun scratched his head and smiled, then lowered his head to look at his exercise book.
Mei Fang wanted to say something, but when she saw Guo Yun's happy face, she suddenly felt reluctant to pour cold water on her.
After all, no matter what, Guo Yun is no longer alone.
She began to have more interactions with the girls in her class, and even Xinxin, the short-haired girl who had always disliked her, began to have many topics to talk about with her.
Guo Yun would have dinner with them.
I would go to the bathroom with them.
We would also go home and chat after school.
She would often bring some delicious and beautiful things to share with everyone.
The girls were all happy to accept her favor and began to be willing to "bother" her.
"Yunyun, can you bring me some breakfast? I want to eat beef noodles this morning."
"Yunyun, please bring my MP3 back home today so I can read some novels. Thank you!"
"Yunyun, your pen is very nice, can you lend it to me?"
Um…
Guo Yun has hardly ever rejected anyone's response.
The feeling of being needed may be too happy for Guo Yun.
But every time Mei Fang saw this scene, he always felt a little uncomfortable.
The feeling of disgust accumulated repeatedly. Seeing Guo Yun helping her "friend" copy lyrics during class, Mei Fang finally couldn't stand it anymore one day.
[Have you been troubled by others recently? ]
[well enough…]
[Don’t you think they are taking advantage of you? ]
When Guo Yun heard Mei Fang say this, she suddenly felt a little hurt.
[Aren’t students supposed to help each other?]
[But I only see you helping them]
[They sometimes help me, show me their notes, share some postcards with me, but you don’t see them]
…
Although it seems somewhat utilitarian from the perspective of value, Mei Fang clearly felt the inequality.
Guo Yun is so easy to talk to.
She longed too much for the feeling of being needed and recognized.
To the point where I am completely unaware of my current situation.
But why could Mei Fang be so anxious about Guo Yun
She herself is so happy...
If you intervene yourself, you will only get yourself into trouble.
but.
It's really uncomfortable to watch this.
Mei Fang was furious.
Although the final exams are approaching, school studies and activities cannot be delayed.
This Saturday, Mei Fang, Guo Yun and their group are required to work together to make a blackboard newspaper, and the group members are discussing the theme of the activity.
Team leader Xinxin suggested, "I think the best theme for March is cherry blossoms, so why don't we all do a beautiful cherry blossom board painting together?"
Jiaojiao also nodded in agreement: "The cherry blossoms are great! They have a very spring feel! What do you think, Yunyun?"
"I, I think it's great too!"
"Hmm, let me think about it, Yunyun should be the best painter here, right?"
Jiaojiao suggested, "Then let Yunyun take care of the painting. Let's find a more suitable theme!"
"Then what do I do?"
"Mei Fang should just be responsible for the odd jobs, like drawing lines with a ruler or something? Haha!"
Mei Fang did not respond along with the other girls.
"I can do it. Anyway, we can divide the work and cooperate with each other. Let's work together to make the blackboard newspaper a success."
"Yeah, no problem!"
When the weekend came, Mei Fang came to school early. As soon as she arrived in the classroom, she saw Guo Yun had already started preparing equipment and tools. Various colored chalks were already ready, and Guo Yun was eager to try.
However, Mei Fang looked a little unhappy.
"Guo Yun, I looked at the blackboard poster reference that the team leader sent yesterday... Don't you think it's a bit outrageous?"
Guo Yun was surprised for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, I think she's pretty."
"But they are all paintings. Isn't it obvious that you have to do it all by yourself?"
"Because Jiaojiao and Xinxin trust my artistic skills... Yeah."
Guo Yun tried to cheer herself up and patted her cheeks. "Although I have never tried to draw such a large blackboard newspaper, I will try my best to do it well."
"… "
When Mei Fang saw Guo Yun slapping her face, the familiar anime scene reappeared in her mind.
In addition to feeling unfair for Guo Yun's excessive efforts, Mei Fang also felt distressed.
So he couldn't say anything else and just accompanied Guo Yun to prepare the blackboard newspaper.
"Guo Yun."
"Suddenly I felt like I had done something wrong."
Mei Fang sighed and continued, "If I hadn't encouraged you to make friends, you wouldn't be suffering like this now."
"No, don't say that... I, I'm very happy."
"Are you happy making friends with a girl like this?" Mei Fang was a little surprised.
"No... not because of this."
"What is that?"
Guo Yun did not continue to respond to Mei Fang's words.
She planned to keep this secret in her heart for a very long time.
Maybe I will never tell anyone in my entire life.
Because the task was essentially just writing a few words, Jiaojiao and Xinxin didn't arrive in the classroom until the afternoon.
"Sorry, sorry... I overslept today!"
"I read a novel until 3 o'clock last night!"
"Didn't we agree to come in the morning? Why are you here now?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please don't be so mean to me, Mei Fang!"
Jiaojiao is a girl who is very good at acting coquettishly. After acting coquettishly, she began to marvel at Guo Yun's current achievements.
"Wow, compared to this, I didn't expect Yunyun to actually draw it! The slope under the cherry blossoms, Yunyun is really awesome!"
“There’s still a lot to go.”
Guo Yun wiped the sweat from her forehead and said a little embarrassedly, "But I'm slowly getting the hang of it."
“It does feel pretty good!”
Xinxin thought for a moment and said, "However, I think this place can be modified a little bit. This tree feels quite different from the original one."
"Is that so? I think it would be more interesting to paint this with blue chalk..."
"No, the painting is already done. If you change the atmosphere casually, won't that destroy the original beauty?"
"Hey, that's right... I'll change it then."
As Guo Yun was about to move the chair to that side to make changes, Mei Fang stopped her and stood in front of her.
What they were facing was Mei Fang, who was full of anger and had already reached the end of his patience.
"I don't do anything, I just talk nonsense based on my feelings. Do you think it's interesting?"
"No... What do you mean, Mei Fang?"
Xinxin, who had always been regarded as the apple of the teacher's eye, had never been yelled at like this in class. After a brief pause, she immediately became furious.
"At that time, we all agreed to divide the work and cooperate, and Yunyun herself agreed to be in charge of painting. Why are you yelling for her?"
"You asked them to come here so early in the morning to do this. Even if they just help with a few strokes or pass some water, they can do it, right? Now that the painting is almost finished, you are here to point fingers? For example, I think the reference is not as good as Guo Yun's painting. If I were to ask you, your aesthetic sense is not good."
"We were only responsible for the text part. What's wrong with coming after we finish the painting? You have such a big opinion. How can a boy be so petty? I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, Mei Fang!"
"How dare you say that? Don't you think about how you usually—"
Just when Mei Fang was about to continue speaking, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.
Guo Yun lowered her head and held Mei Fang's wrist tightly.
Soft.
But very firm and powerful.
At this moment, Xinxin's sobbing could be heard from the other end of the classroom.
After hearing what Mei Fang said, she started crying. Jiaojiao beside her hurriedly comforted her:
"Oh, what's there to argue about... Look at you, Mei Fang, you really don't even know how to be considerate of a girl!"
"Okay, okay, Xinxin, don't cry. Mei Fang just thinks Yunyun takes up too much time. Why don't we change some of it and prepare more texts so that he, the line drawer, can have more things to do."
"It's just... you just drew a line, but you act like you've done so much..."
Xinxin became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and then she pushed Jiaojiao away and continued to question:
"No... What do you mean... You have to explain it to me clearly... Guo Yun, did you tell Mei Fang that there were too many paintings? If you didn't want to, why didn't you tell me and complain to Mei Fang? What do you mean?"
"No, no..."
Guo Yun slowly let go of Mei Fang's hand and replied with a trembling voice: "I, I didn't say such a thing—"
Xinxin wiped her tears and asked with sobs, "So what you mean is that Mei Fang is being sentimental and forcing himself to stand up for you, right?"
…
This last-ditch question made Mei Fang feel suffocated instantly.
Because, based on his understanding of Guo Yun, in order to please her "friends", she might just agree to this matter.
At the same time, Guo Yun, who had been keeping her head down and silent, finally responded.
She slowly raised her head and looked at Xinxin who was still sobbing.
Slowly, she spoke her thoughts word by word.
Your own, true inner thoughts.
"No."
"No? What do you mean by no?"
"Mei Fang is not being sentimental."
Guo Yun hesitated and said, "Because, I also think... I think I draw better."
"I don't want to do what you say either."
—
A huge classroom.
Now only Guo Yun and Mei Fang were left.
Because Xinxin left in anger, Jiaojiao followed her to comfort her.
Although I was very angry, I still had to finish the blackboard newspaper.
After all, neither Mei Fang nor Guo Yun are the type to be hands-off bosses.
This is also the hard work they have done together.
Mei Fang drew the horizontal line and then completed the words on the line.
Just as he got down from the chair and passed by Guo Yun who was standing on the chair, something wet suddenly dripped on his head.
They are Guo Yun's tears.
She seemed to have been gritting her teeth and crying for a long time, but Mei Fang didn't even notice that she was crying.
"Actually... I've always understood."
Guo Yun was painting while crying.
"They never considered me a real friend."
"I have also heard what they said about me behind my back."
"I just... wanted to try out what it's like to have friends."
"Now it seems that I am still... still suitable for living alone."
Seeing this, Mei Fang quickly comforted Guo Yun, "Don't say that! That's just because the friends you want to make are not good people. Just don't be friends with them in the future. You can be with... with, am I not good enough?"
Mei Fang patted his chest and said, "We'll be friends, we'll help each other, and we can get along well..."
"Um."
Guo Yun wiped her tears, then paused and continued:
"Thank you for treating me as a friend."
"But... I don't want to be friends with you."
"Because, I never make friends with boys, please understand."
"Ah? Ok... ok."
"I thought we were good friends!"
Mei Fang was a little discouraged, but since she said she didn't want to make friends with boys, that was understandable, right
When Guo Yun heard Mei Fang's words, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
However, what replaced it was infinite sadness in my heart.
Sorry... Mei Fang.
We... there's no way we can be friends.
I'm a fat, filthy, smelly, perverted pig.
Whether in reality or in dreams.
All I can think about is not being friends with you...
Woohoo…
Mei Fang, I am not worthy of being your friend.
Guo Yun completed the blackboard newspaper with Mei Fang with mixed emotions.
This was the first and only time they made a blackboard newspaper together.
In front of them, the scene was a slope with beautiful cherry blossoms flying all over the place.
Just like the famous scene in the first episode of Clannad.
Tomoya met Nagisa here.
He saw her talking to herself about red bean paste buns, expressing her distress at having no friends.
He walked side by side with her.
Down this long slope.
They began their climb.
"Mei Fang."
"We can't be friends though."
"But... I'm still grateful to you."
"You are the first person to stand up for me."
"People like me..."
"Don't underestimate yourself, you..."
At this time, Mei Fang was immersed in Guo Yun's stunning blackboard newspaper.
"But I have always believed that everyone who likes Clannad is a very gentle and beautiful person, so you are the same."
"Yeah, I think you are too."
"A beautiful and gentle person."
"Oh, how shameful."
"Um."
The two 2D characters huddled together because of the awkward dialogue.
———
It’s autumn, after the final exams, when the third year of junior high school is about to begin.
Not surprisingly, Guo Yun was going to transfer to another school.
She was going to the middle school in Jiangcheng.
Before leaving, Guo Yun gave Mei Fang a painting.
There are lots and lots of soft and cute dumplings.
There are naughty barbecue dumplings.
There are soft red bean paste dumplings.
There are also those who like to dream and admire the moon.
Mei Fang also has a special gift for Guo Yun.
It's a somewhat old digital tablet.
Guo Yun was quite surprised to receive this gift.
"Why did you give me such a valuable thing? I... can't accept it."
"It's okay. This is something my cousin who's in college left for me when she didn't need it anymore."
"I'm giving it to you because I think you might need it."
Mei Fang smiled and said, "Your outstanding talent for painting should not be wasted, right?"
"Well... then... thank you..."
Guo Yun took the digital tablet from Mei Fang and put it carefully in her arms.
“I will cherish it.”
Mei Fang scratched his head a little embarrassedly as he spoke: "Remember I told you that I want to make games myself and be a game producer."
"Yes, I know."
Guo Yun nodded, "This is your dream."
"So, if there is a chance in the future, you can be my beauty queen, right?"
"Main Beauty?" Guo Yun tilted her head.
"That's... the person in charge of art, the boss of art."
"I, I can't control other people..."
"I'm still researching what to do. I don't think a small game will require many art resources. Maybe you can do it by yourself."
"Well... it's best to be alone."
Guo Yun nodded. She was about to lower her head, but she patted her cheeks, then mustered up the courage to raise her head and look at Mei Fang:
"Mei Fang, let me tell you."
"I am determined to lose weight."
"Ah... Isn't this good?"
"I used to think it was okay, but now I have a goal, so I want to lose weight."
"Well, I wish you success."
Although Mei Fang didn't know what the goal Guo Yun was talking about at this time, she still smiled and cheered her on.
His smile was like a rainbow, crossing her gloomy sky.
That faint shadow became the only trajectory she pursued in her life.
In this way, ten years passed quickly.
Gay recommendation!
