Waiting for the eternity of the moment

Chapter 11 Who is by your side when you are helpless (3)
Hearing what Xin Yu said, Ruolin's worries just now disappeared a lot. She was really afraid that Xin Yu would continue to think wildly.Otherwise, her decision would mean nothing at all.She is really glad that Xin Yu is the kind of person who can see everything, otherwise the situation would not know how bad it is.

"By the way, is Auntie feeling better?" Xin Yu began to change the subject, concerned about Ruolin's problem.

"My mother's condition is fairly stable, and she will have surgery in a week."

"Is that enough money? Or, I'll send you some more, just as I got some from my parents."

"No need, someone came to help." Ruolin said with a smile.

"Who?" Xin Yu asked curiously.

"I saw him on my way home. Guess who it is." Ruo Lin's tone was filled with joy.She thinks it is very happy to see her former crush when she returns home this time. Even if she is no longer tempted, the innocence and beauty of the first love still remains in her heart.

"Could it be that brother Mu of yours?" Xin Yu raised her voice and asked.

"Well, it used to be." Ruolin replied softly.

"Cough, don't emphasize the 'once' to me. Whether 'once' or 'now', meeting is a kind of fate, boldly say the love in your heart, don't put your feelings away It's buried in my heart." When Xin Yu heard Ruo Lin's story about Brother Mu's past, she almost cried.She felt that Ruolin was really stupid. She liked someone and had been secretly in love for so long, but she refused to speak out.

"I feel like I'm no longer who I used to be." Ruo Lin said what was in her heart, thought for a while, and continued, "I don't know why my heart stopped skipping half a beat because of him."

"That's because you couldn't count when you saw your brother Mu's brain suddenly lack of oxygen." Xin Yu couldn't help laughing on the other end of the phone.

"Xin Yu..." Ruo Lin blamed slightly.

"I don't blame you. When we meet someone who makes our hearts beat, our will doesn't belong to us. It's normal." Xin Yu stopped laughing and added, "I can totally understand your reaction." understand."

"Xin Yu..." Ruo Lin helplessly called Xin Yu again. She felt that Xin Yu was getting more and more blackened, and the more she said it, the more nonsensical she was, so she didn't want to continue talking about this topic.

In the next few days, Ruolin and her younger sister took turns to stay by her mother's side and take good care of her.

During this period, Han Haoxuan called Ruo Lin a few times, but she didn't answer. She wanted to make herself more decisive.She knew that if she didn't give him a chance, she would give herself peace and Xinyu peace of mind.

Mu Jingyan also contacted Ruolin, not only transferred 7 yuan into Ruolin's account, but also visited her mother in the hospital.

When Mu Jingyan appeared at the door of the ward, Ruolin felt a little surprised.When he asked her mother's hospital on the phone, she thought it was a polite word, but she didn't expect him to come.

Holding a bouquet of carnations in one hand and a fruit basket in the other, he walked towards Zhou Li's hospital bed.

"Auntie, hello." Mu Jingyan approached, greeted Zhou Li, and handed the gift to Ruolin.

"Thank you." Ruo Lin took the flower and fruit basket from Mu Jingyan's hand.

"Who is this?" Zhou Li asked suspiciously.

"Oh, he's my high school classmate Mu Jingyan." Ruo Lin quickly explained, lest her mother misunderstand.

"Just call me Xiao Mu." Mu Jingyan smiled.

"Sit down, Xiao Mu." Zhou Li pointed to a chair beside the bed and said to Mu Jingyan.

"Thank you, auntie." Mu Jingyan sat down as he said.

"Why is this kid so polite?" Zhou Li laughed.

Afterwards, Mu Jingyan and Zhou Li chatted for a few words, nothing more than commonplace things like where they live and where they work now, but they chatted very happily.Zhou Li's complexion looked very good, as if there was a strange look on her face.

After a while, Ruolin was afraid that her mother would get tired from talking too much, so she asked her to lie down and rest, and Mu Jingyan also took the opportunity to leave.

After helping her mother to lie down, Ruo Lin sent Mu Jingyan out.

"This time, it's really thanks to your help, and thank you for coming to see my mother." Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

"Old classmate, this little busyness is nothing to worry about. Don't take it to heart."

"Still... thank you very much."

"Hehe, besides thank you, can you say something else?"

"Uh..." It was only then that Ruo Lin realized that she was the one who was speechless in front of him.She didn't know what else to say besides thanking him now.

"By the way, tomorrow is the [-]th anniversary of No. [-] Middle School. Are you going?" Mu Jingyan asked seemingly casually, but he could hear the faint expectation.No. [-] Middle School is their alma mater, and it is also the campus where he spent three years with her.

"Oh, many old classmates will be there tomorrow. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we can catch up with each other." Seeing Ruo Lin hesitate, Mu Jingyan added.

"If there is no accident tomorrow, I will go there." Ruo Lin thought about it, too. Since graduating from high school, we have had too few opportunities to meet each other, and it's no wonder that I missed some old classmates.In addition to the rare [-]th anniversary celebration, it is not a bad idea to visit the alma mater.

"Then it's settled, we'll see you then. If you don't change your mind, I'll wait for you at the school gate at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." Mu Jingyan said.

Ruolin nodded with a smile.

The next day, after Ruolin made arrangements for her mother, she took the bus directly to No. [-] Middle School.

After getting off the bus, Ruo Lin saw Mu Jingyan standing at the door of No. [-] Middle School from a distance.

The morning sun bathed him, and his black hair seemed to be plated with a touch of gold.

As if time had not gone far, as if he was still her favorite boy in the past.

Ruo Lin walked towards him slowly, feeling as if she was walking back to her girlhood, walking towards a dream.

"You're here." Mu Jingyan's words shattered Ruolin's dream.

"Well. You came so early."

"I've just arrived, too. Let's go in."

The two walked into the familiar high school campus side by side.

"Shen Ruolin!" A loud and clear voice suddenly sounded, and immediately after, Ruolin received a slap on the shoulder.

No need to look at the deity, Ruolin can guess with her toes, who is the one who stretched out her claws.Besides Tian Jing, the best classmate in high school, who else could there be?

"Tian Jing, you are still the same, you are always so special when you say hello." Ruo Lin turned her head.

Sure enough, it was Tian Jing. She had not changed much from her high school appearance, she still had short hair, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth were faintly visible when she smiled, making her look very sweet.But she is a typical "misname", she is not quiet at all.

"Hey, isn't this the handsome guy Mu from our class? What wind brought you here?" Tian Jing was a little surprised when he saw Mu Jingyan beside Ruolin.In her impression, Mu Jingyan was a bit cold, not very gregarious, and basically would not participate in activities such as class reunions.

"I just came back to do some errands, and it's time for the school's [-]th anniversary..."

"Don't explain, I already know the reason." Before Mu Jingyan finished speaking, Tian Jing said first, "Now Ruolin is working in D city, I heard that you also applied to be transferred to D city, isn't the reason obvious?" After finishing speaking, Tian Jing also gave Ruo Lin a meaningful smile, implying "When did you start, the speed is quite fast".

Ruolin knew that Tian Jing must have misunderstood, and it was hard for Mu Jingyan to say anything to Tian Jing when she was by her side, so she just smiled and pretended to be bored.

"Don't disturb the two of you revisiting the campus time. Ruolin, turn around, let's get together again." Naturally, Tian Jing didn't want to play the role of a light bulb, and said goodbye to Ruolin soon.

"Tian Jing..." Ruo Lin still felt a little embarrassed.

"What?" Tian Jing had already walked a few steps away, then turned her head and looked at Ruo Lin.

"Anyway, it's not what you think." Ruo Lin walked over and whispered to her.

"Don't explain. You two are really 'not a family, don't enter the family'. Both of you like to make excuses. If you like it, you like it, and you talk so much nonsense. You both say that the fat and water don't flow to outsiders. The best handsome guy on the Internet finally fell into your house. To be honest, I am very happy for you."

"You really misunderstood, there is really nothing between me and him." Ruo Lin tried her best to defend herself.

"I don't care whether it's steamed or boiled. You can only be called Tian Jing's good sister if you take him down in the end. Well, I won't waste your time. Go bravely and pursue true love!" Tian Jing put her mouth together. Said in Ruo Lin's ear.

Looking at Tian Jing's receding figure, Ruolin couldn't help thinking of some past times.

Ruolin still remembers that Tian Jing used to always tease her, saying that she liked others but dared not admit it.She was indeed like that at that time, she thought that no one would know her meticulous thoughts, but some small expressions and emotions of hers were discovered by the sharp-eyed Tian Jing, but she denied it.Only in this way can she feel that this is a secret that belongs to her alone, hidden in her heart, whether it is bitter or sweet, it is up to her to taste it alone.

At that time, she always got up very early and came to study in the school corridor.There is a small river in front of the promenade, and many weeping willows are planted by the river. Especially in spring, when the wind blows gently, the scenery of the weeping willows floating slightly on the bank is really beautiful.However, in Ruolin's view, the most beautiful scenery is Mu Jingyan who is sitting in the corner of the promenade and earnestly reading in the morning.

Every time she reads, she pretends to be very serious, but her thoughts fly to Mu Jingyan unknowingly, and then subconsciously raise her head and sneak a glance at Mu Jingyan in the distance.She dared not sit too close to him for fear that he might notice.Fortunately, the conscientious Mu Jingyan only focused on studying, and didn't realize that there was a girl who used to sit in an inconspicuous place and watch him silently every day for him, whether it was hot summer or cold winter.When I see him sneezing, I worry about whether he has a cold, and when I see his red hands, I worry about whether I will get frostbite...

They were in the same class, Ruolin sat in the front of the classroom, and Mu Jingyan was already taller than the average boys at that time, so he was arranged to sit in the back.

When get out of class was over, Ruolin would turn her head to talk to the people in the back seat, and glance at Mu Jingyan sitting in the back from the corner of her eye.Mu Jingyan doesn't like to go out to play like other boys, he spends most of the time doing exercises in his seat without making a sound.Sometimes the brows are slightly wrinkled, and sometimes the brows are stretched, probably solving a difficult problem, and then he conquered it.Ruolin just stared at the various subtle expressions on his handsome face like this, she seemed to be immersed in his world, sometimes she couldn't help but want to go up to talk to him, but she knew that was absolutely impossible of.

Because Mu Jingyan has top grades in their class, she is a top student in the eyes of the teacher, while Ruo Lin's grades are mediocre, because of her family background, she even feels a little inferior.She still remembered that many girls liked him at that time and wrote love letters to him.She was also jealous, but she never had the courage to write.She knew that her world was too barren, and she didn't have enough capital to pursue this relationship.She could only stare at him silently.

Sometimes, she felt that seeing him every day was also a kind of happiness.

She also thought about not looking up at him like this anymore, and wanting to stand on the same starting line as him, but after her hard work, nothing came of it, and she gave up the little hope left in her heart.

It is destined that he is a handsome top student; and she is just an ordinary girl who is often silent and has some low self-esteem.

She felt that his world was so far away from her, as if separated by the distance of heaven, she could never touch it, even if she stood on tiptoe, all she could touch were floating clouds.The end of her secret love was nothingness after all.

But, even so, the secret feeling in her heart has not weakened in the slightest, she still pays attention to him, and even writes a diary for him every day.

That thick diary is full of him, his subtle demeanor when he speaks, his inadvertent movements, his voice, his smile... Ruo Lin never let it go.Every line in the diary permeates her warm affection for him.She wrote down a lot of things that she wanted to say to him but didn't say, and she would still feel very sweet when reading it the next day.

Although she didn't know what love was at that time, she still tasted the sweetness of missing someone, even if it was a bit bitter, she also enjoyed it.

Ruolin forced herself to withdraw from her memories, turned her head to look at Mu Jingyan standing next to her, and couldn't help smiling.

She really didn't understand that with the increase of her experience, those beautiful pictures kept in her memory would gradually be lost until they were swept away by the flood of time.

Those subtle heartbeats are already in the past, and those silent gazes have become sweet memories in the past.Now that she looked at him so closely beside him, she no longer longed for him as much as yesterday.

Maybe it's not deliberately forgotten, but after a long time, no matter how beautiful the relationship is, it will fade away quietly.

Mu Jingyan didn't understand what she was laughing at, so he asked, "Anything happy?"

"Huh?" Ruo Lin was in a trance for a while before she realized, and said with a slight smile, "It's nothing."

Even if there is anything, it is the past that need not be said.

"Do you have any feelings about going back to school?" Mu Jingyan asked.

"I remembered a lot of things from the past, but everything has changed." Ruo Lin looked at the students passing by the roadside, and said sadly.

"I still remember that you used to be very quiet. We didn't seem to say a few words in the same class." Mu Jingyan recalled that time. Although he only knew how to read books all day long, he would always hear other people's words when he returned to the dormitory. He would hear a few words from time to time when the boys talked about the girls in the class, and when they talked about Ruolin, he would always unconsciously prick up his ears to listen.It was because he had the deepest impression on her in the class, and thought she was extraordinarily handsome, and she was always unknown, with an appearance of being unworldly.However, he never noticed Ruo Lin's strange eyes on him.

"It's not that I don't talk to you, it's that you haven't talked to any of the girls in our class." Ruo Lin said.

"Yeah, now that I think about it, I was such an idiot back then, do you think I was a nerd?" Mu Jingyan prioritized his studies at that time, because he failed the high school entrance examination and his scores were not enough. No. [-] middle school's direct admission score line, but also paid a lot of extra money.He couldn't swallow this breath, he didn't feel that he was inferior to others, so he studied hard and didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so he went from the bottom fifth in the class to the top five in the class.

"Are you an ordinary nerd, you are simply inhuman, and you don't even give yourself a little time to play." Ruolin said exaggeratedly.

"Then my youth was dedicated to books, I think the sacrifice I made is really too great." Mu Jingyan curled his lips, and said with a half-smile, "If I had to choose again..." He Paused for a while, seemed to be thinking for a long time, before saying: "I will also dedicate to books."

Ruolin thought he would say that she would not dedicate to books again, and she couldn't help being amused by his words, and said, "Is it because books have made you who you are today, so you are so grateful to them?"

"..." Mu Jingyan nodded, and a smile flashed in his bright eyes.

While talking, they had already arrived at the place where the classmates met—the door of their former classroom.

However, the other students are not as gossipy as Tian Jing. In other words, the other students don’t know about Ruo Lin’s secret crush on Mu Jingyan, so they are not so surprised to see them walking together. Encountered on campus.

Everyone got together and talked about their recent situation.Seeing that the students who stayed in City B were doing well, Ruolin thought for a moment, if she returned to her hometown after graduation, would she be like them?

However, she never regretted her decision.No matter what the future holds, she will give herself enough time to prove her worth and realize her dream.

At noon, the students chose to eat in the school cafeteria to relive their school days.

After the meal, everyone basically divided into small gangs and moved freely.

In the end, Ruolin found that she and Mu Jingyan were left in the same place.They looked at each other and smiled, then decided to go around the campus.

In addition to the cultural performances, the school celebration is where the principal talks about the history of the school in the past few years, and invites a few people who have graduated from the school to give reports, which is not very meaningful.However, the fireworks show at night is said to be quite grand, and it is worth looking forward to.

The exciting moment finally arrived, the fireworks rose suddenly, and a beautiful bouquet bloomed on the black velvet-like sky, like gorgeous flowers in full bloom, dazzling and dazzling.

Many people around were cheering, it was lively, it was obviously summer, but Ruo Lin felt like it was Chinese New Year.

Counting the stars and watching fireworks with the one I love is Ruolin's beautiful dream, which has never been realized so far.When she turned her head and looked at Mu Jingyan whose face was illuminated by the fireworks, she felt an inexplicable movement in her heart.His face looked extremely handsome at this moment, like a sculpture, silent, but it seemed to be shining brightly, making people's eyes hard to open.

She thought that her heart would not miss another beat for him, but at that moment, she felt the long-lost heartbeat.It's just that she felt that time had passed for a long time, and she felt like a lifetime away.

The first person to accompany her to watch the fireworks turned out to be him——the object of her crush who once made her obsessed.

In the past, she had imagined that if one day he could watch the fireworks with her, she would marry him, treat him well all her life, and accompany him to grow old.However, she never thought that one day, he would really accompany her to watch the fireworks, but her state of mind was completely different from when she imagined it.

The so-called lifetime was just Ruolin's best fantasy, a beautiful flower blooming in her memory.But the reality told her that that person was just a dream in her memory and would eventually come to nothing.

She could only look up at him from beginning to end, even though he was by her side now, she felt so far away, as if separated by two hearts.

Another bunch of fireworks bloomed dazzling light in the dark night, and suddenly, the sky was as bright as day.
