Phoenix and Legend

Chapter 41 The fish at the same table
Jinlin and Xu Qing came to the lakeside of the park, stood in front of the railing, stared at the cold and frozen lake, as if the story about it would not be revealed until it was warm.

Jin Lin said to Xu Qing:

"Xu Qing, you are so good, don't you have a first love?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing smiled ambiguously and said, "If you say there is no, you don't believe it, if you say there is, I don't believe it."

"Xu Qing, what you said is not right."

"Brother Jinlin, seeing that you are so curious, let me tell you." Then Xu Qing eloquently told about her first love.

It was an early morning in mid-March, and the spring breeze was breezy in Wutong County No. [-] Middle School, and the bright rising sun brought good wishes to it.

Three minutes after the morning reading, Xu Qing from the second (sixth) class of the junior high school suddenly found a glass jar hidden under the desk. She leaned over to look and found a black goldfish in it. Watching carefully at the desk, Song Yu, the deskmate, came in from the outside and said to her:

"Xu Qing, you have to watch your step, don't touch the fish that spilled on me."

Xu Qing nodded and murmured in his heart: How can you raise a goldfish in the classroom.

Later, the three of them became the same table. As long as it was between classes, Song Yu would bring the glass jar to the table to watch.

On the morning of the third day, after the third class, Song Yu was about to admire his fish, when the class teacher called him over with a serious face.

Xu Qing thought, this guy must be naughty again, so she quietly brought the glass jar to the desk after Song Yu left, and savored it carefully. There is a small piece of gorgeous red on the back of the golden goldfish, which splashes down from the end of the fin, like a rose, floating in the water, very beautiful.

Xu Qing admired it for about 6 minutes. Song Yu came back. Xu Qing wanted to send the 'fish' to the original place, but it was too late. After seeing it, Song Yu said to Xu Qing a little unhappy:

"Xu Qing, why are you playing with my things without my consent?"

Xu Qing said angrily: "It's just a goldfish, you can't even look at it!"

Seeing Xu Qing's very unhappy look, Song Yu felt a little apologetic and said with a smile: "Xu Qing, this is a gift I gave to a classmate in the class, but you will soon be able to appreciate it to your heart's content every day." .

After Xu Qing heard this, she was very puzzled: Is he out of his mind and talking nonsense? This is not telling me directly, but trying to give it to me.Thinking of this, Xu Qing was a little moved.

More than a month later, during the break in the afternoon, the sunshine shone gracefully in the classroom of the sixth grade of junior high school. Only Xu Qing, her deskmate Song Yu, and Mei Ning and the others were left in the class.

Song Yu picked up the glass jar and took a closer look at the goldfish inside, then walked to Mei Ning's desk with it, and said a little greenly:

"Meining, this is a gift from me to you. I took good care of this goldfish and it is very healthy."

Hearing this, Xu Qing felt very embarrassed: It turned out that Song Yu gave it to sister Meining, and he knew that we had the best relationship, so he said that to me that day.

After hearing this, Mei Ning observed the fish swimming in the glass jar, and said with a smile:

"Thank you Song Yu, I'll accept it."

Song Yu was very happy to see Mei Ning so in love with her, and she couldn't stop being beautiful all afternoon, while Xu Qing also enjoyed the feeling of losing love, although she wasn't sad at all, but she felt that she was cheated , this incident may have caused a spiritual shadow to this beautiful girl, so that she developed a kind and changeable character.

After school in the afternoon, Xu Qing and Mei Ning were walking home. Xu Qing asked curiously:
"Sister Meining, do you fall in love with him?"

When Mei Ning heard this, she was unhappy, she put the glass jar in Xu Qing's hand and said:
"Xu Qing, why are you so suspicious of my mind?"

Xu Qing had no choice but to ask again in a low voice: "Then why did you still accept Song Yu's gift?"

"I saw that this fish was not free in the small glass jar, so I'm going to release it in the lake in the park." After hearing this, Xu Qing admired Mei Ning's kindness:

"Sister Meining, you are so kind! In fact, I have also thought about it before."

Then, the two went to the park and put the fish in the lake. Seeing the fish swim away happily, they were very happy and wished for its freedom.

In the summer vacation of that year, Xu Qing and Mei Ning came to the park together to look for it.

The two stared at the surface of the water and searched carefully, but they couldn't find it no matter what.

Ten minutes later, Xu Qing said to Mei Ning: "Sister Mei Ning, such a large lake, maybe it is resting or playing in some waters, how can we find it?"

At this time, Mei Ning's face was full of surprises, she pointed to the lake not far away, and said happily: "Look quickly, Xu Qing, that's it."

Xu Qing followed the direction Mei Ning pointed, took a closer look, and said excitedly:

"It really is that 'rose gold fish', it has grown up!"

"It seems to know us, and it is swimming towards us slowly." Mei Ning clapped her hands happily and said.

After swimming towards them, the goldfish wagged its tail, as if thanking them for their kind hearts, and then swam away lightly.

……

After hearing Xu Qing's memories, Jin Lin was very pleased with Mei Ning and Xu Qing's kindness. He said to Xu Qing:
"Xu Qing, I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted since you were young. This is the most similar thing between the two of you."

"Brother Jinlin, in fact, you don't really understand me. My heart is not only kind but also pure." Jinlin didn't seem to hear Xu Qing's words, and asked instead:
"Xu Qing, can you still find that goldfish now?"

"I only saw it once, but I heard from Sister Meining that when she was working in the Orchid Commercial Building, she went to the park with Sister Caining many times to play, and I could see it every time I went, but when I went by myself, I couldn't see it. Never met before."

After hearing this, Jin Lin couldn't help but wonder: Can fish also distinguish people's hearts?
