It has been raining continuously in Beijing for several days, which is quite strange. Whenever I step out, the drizzle that was originally falling becomes heavier.
Perhaps even the clouds can understand my state of mind.
I didn't have any further contact with her, but under the circle of friends celebrating my friend's birthday, she left a little heart.
I know she's still there, but she's gradually drifting away from me.
The more moments like this, the easier it is to reminisce about her goodness. Every silhouette in the memories is framed with gold edges, and her appearance is like that of an angel, lingering in every corner of the fragmented memories.
However, in the end, fragments are just fragments.
I can still remember. After we made the appointment, the two girlfriends and she arrived at my doorstep promptly at noon on Saturday.
The sisters were naturally familiar with my mother, but she seemed a bit distant. As she entered the house, she found a pair of slippers and stood obediently by the door. Their fingers intertwined, always maintaining a gentle smile.
I couldn't help but take a few glances at her.
Her skin was fair, with a light layer of makeup applied. The shimmering golden eyeshadow on her eyes looked like a thin veil, and her eyelashes were not curled properly, slightly drooping over her eyes. However, there was a charm about her that was indescribable.
I don't even know how to face her after seeing this.
Is it natural, like with a sister?
"Do you still treat her as if she's a girl you secretly admire?"
Feeling a bit lost, yet unable to shift my gaze away.
During mealtime, I sat beside her. I set up a bowl, chopsticks, and tissue for her. She glanced up at me, revealing a brighter smile than usual. Her slender eyes, seen from my perspective, resembled a crescent moon turned on its side, exuding a captivating radiance.
I don't know how... eager? Or vulnerable? I looked at that time.
But even thinking about it now, I feel a bit embarrassed.
As the saying goes, love at first sight, deep affection at second sight.
We have met before, so this encounter could be considered as falling in love.
At that time, I truly felt as though my little heart had burst out of my chest and flown straight into the palm of her hand.
She ate quite a lot and kept complimenting my mother's cooking skills. I don't like it when girls eat like little birds; maybe it's because I am a worrisome person. Seeing them slim and weak makes me feel extremely anxious.
My mother, of course, was extremely delighted and left an almost perfect impression of this young girl in her heart.
After finishing the meal, those two older sisters started rummaging through my room.
I was standing by the door, wearing a super disapproving expression as I stared at the two people who were treating my room like a playground and causing a mess everywhere. Just as I was about to open my mouth to scold them, I suddenly felt my arm being hooked.
"Your house renovation looks really nice."
A soft voice came from my ear. When I turned my head to look, she had already wrapped her arms around mine, resting her chin on my shoulder, scrutinizing my face from side to side.
My heart rate soared to 180 miles per hour in an instant.
Her breath was close to me, and the fragrance of the perfume was perfectly to my liking. Looking closely, her delicate face became even more charming, coupled with that gentle voice, it could almost melt the frozen rivers and thousand-year-old cold streams.
It's really annoying.
"It's alright... This whole area is all furnished." I was glad that I could still respond rationally to her words. While my face remained calm, my heart was in turmoil. "If you like, you can also come and live in this area!"
I spit on you!
After I finished saying these words, I wanted to curse at myself.
How much of a straight girl cancer do I have?! How can anyone even say such a thing?!
In the midst of scolding myself in my heart, I heard her chuckle lightly on my shoulder, saying, "Can't you invite me over more often?"
