I remember that there was a popular idol drama in Taiwan called "I May Not Love You", in which the male and female protagonists started from their school days.
They have been friends since the beginning of time, and they refuse to fall in love, because they feel that friends are more lasting than lovers because their relationship is as deep as family. My third master and I are in almost the same situation. I uphold the lofty ambition of being a lifelong good friend with him and talk to him about everything. But the reality is like a line in a TV show - when I say "I probably won't love you", it's actually... I love you.
My third master and I are both students in the experimental class of curriculum reform. This class is amazing. It selects students from junior high school and sends them to high school to receive high school education in advance, so I started high school in the third year of junior high school, and I went to high school every time I changed classes several times. Take the same class with the third master.
We were classmates for four years.
The first impression I had of the third master was when the school started a little over a week ago. At that time, I and a few friends with good relationships would go to the cafeteria to eat on the rooftop.
One day I was slow to eat, and when I was walking to the third floor, I suddenly wanted to buy another bottle of drinks, so I hurried downstairs. The cleaning aunt in the cafeteria must have been lazy that day, otherwise the stairs wouldn't be greasy, otherwise... I wouldn't sit down with my feet slipping.
It was like playing the slide with obstacles in an amusement park for free. It was exciting and sour. After I fell, I slid at least five or six stairs.
When I screamed and finally grabbed the handrail and stopped sliding down, and moved my wrists and ankles to find that they were all very strong and uninjured, I saw the third master.
He was standing three steps below me, and if I didn't stop, I might have taken him to play this "fun" stair slide game with a nice shovel action.
Obviously, he witnessed the whole process and was stunned. We looked at each other for three seconds. I thought he would console me if I was in pain. After all, we both recognized each other as classmates in the same class.
As a result, he bent down and picked up the small half-pack of chicken fillets I had spilled. He frowned and looked inside, and asked me, "Will you go down and get another one?"
Probably because I had already made up my mind according to the normal development of the plot, he asked me "Does it hurt?", so when he asked if he wanted to make a chicken fillet, I replied, "It hurts to death. "
He gave an "oh", then pointed to the corner of the stairs and said to me, "Then you can squat here first, and I will fight for you."
The pain nerves paralyzed my thinking ability, I actually went over to squat, and then gave him my meal card, the donkey's lips didn't answer the horse's mouth, "And a bottle of Coke, thank you."
Then we met so inexplicably.
I thought this was our first conversation, but the third master told me that things were not as romantic as I thought, "the first time we talked was on the day of the report, at the reporting office on the overhead floor, I asked you where to get the form , you enthusiastically took the form to me and told me where to fill in."
But I didn't have the slightest impression of this, and kept asking, "Really? We have communicated so early? The first day of school?"
"Yes, there was communication on the first day, not only with me, you are lively and have communicated with almost half of the classmates in the class." When he said the adjective "lively", he emphasized his tone.
As witty as I am, guess that shouldn't be a compliment.
The third master has a very quiet personality. At that time, we had a group of friends who liked to walk around the laboratory building during the evening self-study break. Yes, it was the group of friends who liked to eat on the rooftop.
Because we are recruiting additional students from high school, we do not have classes in the teaching building. The principal approved two classrooms for our group of students in the empty laboratory building. The classroom table is a table for experiments, which is very spacious, between the two rows of tables. There is also a pool, but the faucet doesn't work.
Our big hearts are like the board. Under the brainwashing of the head teacher, we all think that if we can enter the experimental class, we will have one foot in Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Now I think about the naivety of that time, and I would embarrass myself and blush for a while.
Speaking of the evening self-study walk, it was early autumn, the wind was not cool at night, and the whole laboratory building was very quiet. Our group of pseudo-high school students with "one foot into Tsinghua University and Peking University" sang while walking in the autumn breeze. What impressed me the most was singing "Broad Ocean and Sky", because later I mentioned it to others again and again that I would sing this song When I found out that it was different from what they sang.
At that time, what we sang was "After being brave, we must break the lock of fate with persistence." The third master just followed us quietly for a walk.
I asked him, "You can't sing?"
He just smiled and said nothing.
I thought he was acquiescing, and it wasn't until many years later when he won a singing competition that I understood his smile back then—probably meant "I don't want to go crazy with you, you stupid humans." .
I have always been a noisy person. When I was a child, my mother took me to see a doctor. The white-haired old Chinese medicine doctor said that I had ADHD, and after prescribing the medicine, he stuck ten silver needles on the acupoints of my finger joints to let blood. It is said that I became honest after being pierced once. My mother has been talking about the old man's medical skills for several years. Only I know that I was frightened by the needle - it hurts!
I became friends with the third master probably because he gave me the feeling that he is calm and quiet, very different from those boys who can talk more than me. So what I like most about the activity class is to play with the third master, play table tennis or sit on the concrete platform to listen to songs and chat.
He didn't speak, just sat silently and listened to me talking about the sky, the moon, the stars, the poetry and the philosophy of life.
There are many differences between boys and girls. Although I also have a lot of good friends with girls, I can play with boys without worrying too much, and the content and angle of the conversation are also very broad, so at that time I was exaggerated and said to the third master, " You are my best friend in the universe."
I think the third master likes this title very much.
One night, the two of us went to the school gate to take the shuttle bus. He left first that day. When I caught up with him, I patted him hard, thinking he would be frightened, but he turned his head to me very calmly and said, "You leave me I felt it when I was a metre away."
I think he's bullshitting.
He told me, "You have a scent on you."
I raised my arm to smell, but I didn't smell anything.
"I can't smell it myself, I can smell it," he said. "Everyone's smell is different."
I can quite understand his previous sentence. For example, when my dad takes off his shoes when he comes home, the smell of his feet can stun my dog, but he doesn't even notice it.
I asked the third master of "Dog Nose", "Can you smell everyone's scent?"
The third master said "uh", "no, I can smell you anyway."
I asked again, "Why?"
He watched me get in in front of the car I was going to take, and said with a smile, "Because I'm your best friend in the universe."
What a simple and kind child was the third master at that time. Now when I ask him "Can you smell me?", he usually sniffles and kicks me to wash my feet...
The author has something to say: If someone watches North and South, they will find some plots very familiar, yes, there are indeed many prototypes of me and the third master in that book_(:зゝ∠)_
