——Ding Wenqi "Spring Falls"

By chance, Qingman heard a song sung by Ding Wenqi in the winter of 2002.She couldn't help crying when she heard it, and later, she went to buy a big photo frame, developed the only photo of Gu Qingcheng that was left with her again, and put it in it.

She turned it upside down and placed it on the bedside.

That song is called "Spring Falls".

The day you come, spring also comes

Qingman's birthday is in autumn.

On her birthday in her sophomore year of high school, she turned down the proposals of several good sisters who said they would hold a birthday party for her, and went to the subway station alone.On weekdays, she would squeeze the bus home, but today, she wanted to sit in the subway for a while, listen to music, and give herself some time to rest.

The homework of the second year of high school is already too busy. She hasn't been to the playground with her friends for a long time, and she hasn't been to sing K for a long time.

She played some old songs sequentially in her earbuds, and stopped and walked until she met Gu Qingcheng.

It was a boy who set up a stall selling paintings in the subway station. She saw his stall from a distance, and people stopped to look at it in twos and threes, but few people were willing to stay for a long time, let alone ask about their prices.

Qingman stopped there, she squatted down, flipped through a few paintings, and found that the styles of the paintings were different, but most of them imitated some works of famous artists, and there were a few that were very popular nowadays, and Qingman liked them very much. The paintings of Taiwanese picture book writer Jimmy.

The painting is not bad, Qing Man thought, and asked the boy casually, how do you sell this?
twenty.

His voice is pretty nice, and his paintings are not expensive.Qing Man couldn't help raising her head slightly to look at him. He looked as old as her, with a big dark gray backpack on his back, and his face seemed a bit haggard.Her eyes stopped on the school badge on his chest.

It was the same school card as hers.

Qingman couldn't help laughing, picked out the painting from the pile of paintings, and handed it to him, I want this.

The boy wrapped it up for her with a smile, took the money, and said "thank you" politely.

Qing Man mischievously moved closer to him on purpose, and she said, Gu Qingcheng, this name sounds nice.After speaking, she noticed his slightly surprised face, and added, today is my birthday, thank you for the gift, I like it very much.I will find you later.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and jumped onto the subway, and the phrase "Happy Birthday" came from behind her sweetly and clearly.

Sure enough, she soon saw Gu Qingcheng again.

But it wasn't "at school" that she had originally expected, and that evening, she took the subway back and forth until she finished reading the novel in her backpack and returned to the subway station where she had just boarded.

When she saw the train come to a stop, she inexplicably wanted to see if he was still there.

So holding his painting, she appeared in front of him.Gu Qingcheng had just packed his things at that time, and all the large and small paint bottles were stuffed into the big backpack.He was about to leave with the drawing board on his back, when he saw her, he greeted her with a smile.

Happy birthday.He said.

Qingman looked at him with a smile, thought for a while, and she said, you can celebrate my birthday with me.

Probably because of his school card, she followed the boys who could only be classified as "mostly strangers" out of the subway station.The autumn night was beautiful, and the boy beside him had a very gentle face.

The hypocritical Qingman recalled that day many years later, and always felt that the encounter between her and Gu Qingcheng was somewhat "destined".

She followed him one street after another, but hardly chatted. She just plugged an earplug into his left ear. The earphone cable was not very long, so she followed him closely.

When I think about it later, it will make people feel that it is really intimate.

Later, Qing Man heard a song, but she only remembered one line, which was sung by a girl, and she heard it with her left ear and heard it with her left ear.What the left ear hears are sweet words.

A little later, when the moon came up quietly, Gu Qingcheng said, I will take you home.

He walked in front while talking, and took her to the bus station, Qingman followed behind, reluctantly and cautiously asked, then will you come to me again?

Gu Qingcheng looked at the two bulging flesh on her face, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch it, then smiled, see you tomorrow.

When Gu Qingcheng came to look for Qingman again, he was carrying a small cake in his hand, with only one bright red cherry on it, no cream, and no words "Happy Birthday".

Qingman laughed at him, my birthday is over, why are you sending it now.

Gu Qingcheng smiled and said, whoever wants to celebrate your birthday is just treating you to a cake, don't think too much about it.

Qingman pouted and took it away.Although she insisted on saying it was ugly, Qingman happily took it home and hid in the room secretly to destroy it.

She remembered that when Gu Qingcheng came to look for her during the day, the girl beside him pushed and asked her who he was.

Qingman deliberately didn't say anything, asking her own heart, she seemed a bit reluctant to share Gu Qingcheng with others.

What does this mean?

Afterwards, every day when school was over, Qingman would pack her schoolbags one step earlier, and when the bell rang, she would rush out of the classroom and wait for Gu Qingcheng at the school gate.

She would carry her schoolbag, hold up the textbooks to be reviewed or previewed that day, and follow him to the subway station.He was drawing, and she was reading.Occasionally, when encountering something he didn't understand, Qing Man would interrupt him unceremoniously and ask him to teach.

Gu Qingcheng's paintings are very good. When Qingman is free, she will squat beside him and watch his paintings. Sometimes she will pretend to be an expert, and encourage him to say, dream about this kind of thing, stick to it, There must be many people who appreciate your paintings.

Gu Qingcheng would "puchi" laugh out loud without arguing.

Every day when closing the stall, Qingman would stubbornly buy one of his paintings. Gu Qingcheng would usually say "I won't take your money" or "I'll give it to you". He stared at him and said, "You get what you pay for, I don't want defective products!"I want authentic!

After speaking, he laughed out loud.

Gu Qingcheng laughed too, Qingman always felt that he was very beautiful when he smiled, like a boy who walked out of a cartoon, his eyes were very clear.

When winter comes, Qingman and Gu Qingcheng are already very familiar with each other.They often go to the book city together, sitting for an entire afternoon, Gu Qingcheng doesn't talk much, but Qingman finds that after they get to know each other, he becomes even cuter.For example, when reading a book, he would make some cold jokes to amuse her from time to time. At that time, their favorite was the popular "eat, sleep and hit Doudou".

The content is that a reporter went to Antarctica to interview a group of penguins. He asked the first penguin, "What do you do every day?" Eat, sleep, and beat Doudou." When he walked to the 100th little penguin, the reporter asked, what do you do every day?The little penguin replied, eating and sleeping.The reporter was surprised immediately, and asked again, why don't you hit Doudou?The little penguin pouted and glared at the reporter. I am Doudou!
Later, every time the two of them ate lunch together, they would suddenly say, eat, sleep, and hit Doudou!
Qingman would laugh so hard that she wanted to spit out her rice.

As Christmas approached, Qing Man said that she wanted a painting that "combined with the seasons" as a gift.But he didn't expect Gu Qingcheng to say "No" without thinking.Qingman was a little angry and didn't come to him for a week.After school, I returned to the days when I used to squeeze the bus.

However, Gu Qingcheng sent a text message on Christmas Eve, asking her to meet her at the subway station.

After an afternoon of ideological struggle, Qing Man finally went.It was only when I arrived at the subway station that I realized that the business at Gu Qingcheng's stall was very good today. Many boys and girls were choosing paintings to give to their favorite people. Qingman thought enviously, this should be a very romantic gift.

She leaned over to look, and found that several of Gu Qingcheng's new works had the same content: boys and girls stood in the square with the Christmas tree as the background, the lights were shining, and the snow was falling, and they looked up at the snow together .

Qing Man also noticed that each of them was wearing a big red glove on their hands.A thin cord of wool tied the two gloves together.

No wonder so many people bought it, Qing Man thought, in a city like Guangzhou, there is almost no snow in winter.How can such a painting not be popular with girls?

Even she herself wanted to ask Gu Qingcheng for one to hang at home.

Sorry, this is the last one, not for sale.Before she could speak, Gu Qingcheng had already spoken, obviously not to her.

Why not sell?The girl was obviously very upset. She glanced at the boy beside her, but she couldn't bear to put down the painting.

This... Gu Qingcheng paused, glanced at Qingman, it was for her.

Qing Man was stunned, in a trance, she saw the deliberately smiling face of the boy in front of her, and tried to pretend to be angry and ignore him, but failed.She took the painting, and her whole heart was warmed.

It would be great if it snows in Guangzhou, I can take you to see it.Gu Qingcheng pinched the flesh on her face habitually, and said softly.

During the Spring Festival of that year, Qingman spent it with Gu Qingcheng.

The reason was that Gu Qingcheng's mother was ill and was taken back to her hometown by her relatives to recuperate.So Gu Qingcheng was left alone in Guangzhou.Qingman generously invited him to have a New Year's Eve dinner at home, and told her mother that she was her senior and took good care of her in the affairs of the student union.

After finally getting her mother's permission, Gu Qingcheng didn't go.Only in the early hours of the morning did he call Qingman on time, with a simple sentence of "Happy New Year", Qingman was about to lose his temper, and wanted to say why he was so uncreative, but he continued to say, look, I am First!
Qing Man was still biting the Yunpian Cake in her mouth, and responded vaguely, um, it is indeed number one!

Immediately after, the sound of firecrackers rang through half the sky, Qing Man swallowed her saliva, and shouted loudly without giving up: Gu Qingcheng, Happy New Year!Gu Qingcheng, Happy New Year! !

Then the phone was forced to hang up.

But on that day, Qingman still felt very happy, as if she really felt like what Gu Qingcheng said, that the new year will be a happy one.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Qingman's parents went out to visit relatives, so she secretly called Gu Qingcheng and asked him to come and play at home.This time he finally came, with empty hands and nothing.Qing Man pretended to touch her chin and said, little friend, you always have to bring some fruit, you have to bring it.

Gu Qingcheng looked at what she was writing that looked like a couplet, and immediately smiled very proudly. You also call this a couplet?Super ugly.

How ugly!
It's just ugly, why not let me write it.

Before Gu Qingcheng finished speaking, she was stared at by Qingman's questioning eyes. She seemed to be asking herself and answering, you write couplets?can you?Writing couplets is not painting!

But facts speak louder than words, Gu Qingcheng's handwriting is indeed very beautiful, it turns out that writing and painting are also easy for him.Qingman took the couplets he had written, climbed high, and pasted them on both sides of the gate.

After pasting it, she shrank her neck and complained that she was freezing to death.

chilly?It's not cold when spring comes.Gu Qingcheng said.

It's still early for spring.Qingman curled her lips, but saw Gu Qingcheng silently spread out a piece of red paper on her desk, and he wrote the word "Spring" with a brush.

Put it upside down and stick it on the door, and spring will come soon.

Gu Qingcheng is always like this, smiling, but what he says can always be so deceptive.

Sure enough, spring has come.

On the day when the temperature rose, Qingman happily went to see Gu Qingcheng. She was wearing a flowery skirt and mentioned to Gu Qingcheng on the way that she wanted to take art photos.

Because my mother promised me a long time ago that I can shoot a whole set, and it will be very beautiful.Green Man described it.

Gu Qingcheng didn't speak, Qingman bumped into him, what's wrong with you?
Let me shoot for you.

real? !
If I help you take pictures, it will be very beautiful, free of charge.Gu Qingcheng stretched out his hand and pinched Qingman's face vigorously, and added lightly, he had to make up to cover up the flesh.

Qingman jumped up, obviously smiling happily, and pretended to be angry to hit him, you are only a lot of meat, I won't let you take pictures!
Well, if it’s not free, then I’ll charge for it.Gu Qingcheng answered the conversation unhurriedly.

Think beautifully!Qing Man broke away his hands that were about to attack her little face, tomorrow is the day, choosing a day is worse than hitting the day!

The weather on the second day was really good, with the sun shining in the clear sky.

Gu Qingcheng took her to Baiyun Mountain and took a group of photos. Qingman yelled "It's so good" and "Is this me?" bouncing around, Gu Qingcheng rolled her eyes at her, but soon returned to normal. The look of a gentle smile.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set that Qing Man suddenly remembered something and shouted "Wait", then snatched the camera from Gu Qingcheng's hand, and said domineeringly, "You, go over there and stand there!"
Um?Gu Qingcheng looked at her puzzled.

I want to shoot for you!Qing Man laughed loudly, I don't care, I just want to take pictures for you!I don't have a picture of you yet!
Under her hard and soft tactics, Gu Qingcheng finally agreed to put on a fake "scissorhands".Qingman did not expect that after a long time, she sorted out the photo album and found that she really only had the only one photo of him.

In the spring breeze, Gu Qingcheng's beautiful eyebrows, his straight back, his gentle smile, and the way he looked at her were all deeply remembered in her heart.

Never forget.

Gu Qingcheng is a class higher than Qingman.

So when Qingman was still panicking about the college entrance examination, the battle waiting for Gu Qingcheng was imminent.

In May of that year, Qingman met Changge in a certain evening.

Gu Qingcheng, who would normally send her home, left early that day because of something at home.Qingman was doing hygiene in the classroom leisurely by herself.Suddenly a boy at the door beckoned to her, he said, hey, come out for a while.

Qingman looked left and right, but found no other figure who could be his target, so she walked over.

It was also a tall and thin boy, the difference was that he was wearing a slanted peaked cap and had a naughty smile on his face.He looked at Qingman and said, I think you are good.

Ok?
I know you don't have a boyfriend, let's date.The boy approached unceremoniously, and Qing Man stepped back three steps vigilantly.

For a moment, she didn't know what to answer him.who is he?Why is he here?These are all things she doesn't know.

Fortunately, Changge briefly introduced himself next. He said, I have been paying attention to you for a while, and I met you in the supermarket one day. You bought the same brand of toothpaste as mine, and when you paid, you took out a bunch of coins and gave it to me. salesperson.

and then?
Then I followed you for a while, and then I found a boy who picked you up to school, but you didn't hold hands or hug.You are definitely not boyfriend and girlfriend.

He then introduced himself and said, My name is Changge.I know, your name is Qingman.

Qing Man stayed for a while, then looked down at her watch, suddenly grabbed her schoolbag and ran out.

Fortunately, he didn't catch up.

Qing Man let out a long sigh of relief.

She caught a glimpse of the public phone booth on the side of the road, so she ran over and called Gu Qingcheng.He quickly picked it up, but after she gave a feed, she suddenly became speechless.

The world fell silent at that moment, and Qingman could clearly hear the voice in her heart.

It's a sentence that never happened.I want to see you.

Of course, she ended up saying nothing.

She just thought that some things, some feelings, had become different.She hung up the phone, walked home alone, passed by a boutique on the corner of the street, and went in for a stroll.

When she came out, she bought a frog charm and hung it on the keychain.

Qingman did not expect that Changge would wait for her at the school gate for a week.

Even if she and Gu Qingcheng both walked out of the school, he could stop in front of them and tell her, follow me.

The gesture of him snuffing out the cigarette end seemed to be demonstrating against Gu Qingcheng.

Qingman stopped them, she quickly grabbed Gu Qingcheng's hand and walked out.Until you go far away, until Gu Qingcheng calls her, it doesn't have to be so fast.

She stopped and looked at him panting.
