"Do you think the male Fujii tree likes the female Fujii tree or Hiroko?"
When Dong Xie and Lin Cheng had this conversation, he was doing homework in the library. When he heard this sentence, he immediately raised his head and looked at Lin Cheng sitting opposite.
"Have you read "Love Letters" again?"
"Um."
In this classic love movie by Shunji Iwai, Dong Xie and Lin Cheng are both n-favorites.
Dong Xie stared at Lin Cheng, suddenly wondering why he asked this question.
"I think... it's probably the female Fujii tree. There are actually a lot of hints in the movie..."
Dong Xie said this.
"If that's the case, why didn't the male Fujii look for her? In the end, he chose Hiroko who was very similar to his first love..."
Dong Xie was speechless for a moment.
Lin Cheng replied: "Maybe he didn't have the courage to look for his first love again. As a result, it was not until the end of the movie, through the library card, that the female Fujii tree knew what the boy was thinking back then. I was thinking, when the male tree passed away,
What are you thinking about?"
When Lin Cheng said this, he looked at "Black Thorns 2" in his hand and gently touched the library card. There was no doubt that Qi Yuxuan's name must be on it.
"If it were me, I wouldn't want to die remembering my first love... or even regard her as the shadow of my first love."
Dong Xie smiled bitterly in his heart.
Even if Qi Yuxuan is Miki Sakai (player of the young Fujii tree), Lin Cheng is not Kashiwahara Takashi (the young Fujii tree).
Although it is cliché, when people fall in love, they still value the skin. Not many people care about what is underneath the skin.
Of course, Dong Xie couldn't say that in front of Lin Cheng.
"Lin Cheng," Dong Xie said to him, "movies are movies, reality is reality."
"Dong Xie," Lin Cheng continued, "I want to study hard and improve my grades."
"Um?"
"I want to get admitted to a university in SH city."
Although he only said this sentence, Dong Xie already understood Lin Cheng's thoughts.
He is serious.
…
"What are you doing?"
Dong Xie and Lin Cheng were surrounded by a group of people when they were leaving school that day.
Fighting has long been a common occurrence for the two of them, but being surrounded by so many people, many of whom are not in the same class or even the same school, is still rare.
The leader was Song Chao, who shouted: "Everyone, come on!"
This is what happened after the "Love Letter" incident.
Obviously, the reason behind this is probably related to Lu Jie.
Lin Cheng and Dong Xie naturally chose... Thirty-Six Strategies, the best strategy!
But there were too many people, and not long after they ran, they were blocked in the alley.
"Say! Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have in the future!" Song Chao grabbed Lin Cheng's collar and said, "You are a toad, but you also want to eat swan meat! Bah! I feel sick!"
This group of people obviously came for Lin Cheng.
"none of your business!"
Lin Cheng, on the other hand, showed no mercy at all.
"Look for a fight!"
Dong Xie was also furious and immediately joined the battle.
The battle turned out to be very earth-shattering, with both Dong Xie and Lin Cheng losing the battle. Although they didn't win, the other side didn't get any favors either.
Dong Xie took Lin Cheng back to his home and gave him medicine to prevent him from frightening his parents when he came home.
"What a bully!" At that time, Ah Ning was also filled with indignation: "It must be Song Chao who was instigated by that guy Lu Jie!"
Dong Xie waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Ah Ning, I took a brick and hit one of them on the head. Am I the one who suffered the loss?"
"Dong Xie, what are you saying? Your brick was originally meant to hit Song Chao, right? But it missed the target and hit the person next to him..."
"Lin Cheng, you ungrateful brat, you are trying to undermine me in front of my sister! Come and see my Shaolin grappling skills!"
"Look at my Wudang Changquan! Just now I hit the guy with yellow hair, this is the move!"
"What does this mean? The turtle style qigong I used when I beat Song Chao in the end was so powerful!"
Ah Ning: "Are you two together three years old?"
That night, Lin Cheng finally told his parents that he would stay at Dong Xie's house.
But they basically couldn't sleep.
"If you take the exam to City SH, you will have to go out of town." Dong Xie looked at Lin Cheng and said, "I thought you were just talking before, but I will help you with the mock exam papers you have made recently.
I was shocked when I saw the answer."
Lin Cheng sighed: "It would be great if I could be as smart as your sister. She will definitely be able to go to a prestigious university in the future. I definitely don't have the ability to get into Fudan. Even if I go to SH City, I may not be able to succeed.
.”
"But you don't want to be as lost as Fujii's tree?"
"A few days ago... I met Qi Yuxuan again in the library. She was doing mock papers there and borrowed a lot of books related to the college entrance examination. She was very focused, and I was sitting next to her, and she didn't notice me at all.
.Of course, it may be that you didn’t notice me on purpose.”
"Hmm... I guess, I'm just too focused."
"I discovered that among her many reference books, there was still a novel, which was another series of horror novels written by the author of "Black Thorn"."
"Really?" Dong Xie was a little surprised: "She likes that writer so much?"
"Thanks to this, I can chat with her for a few words."
"How did you talk?"
"Just... we talked a little bit about the plot of the book. Although it is a horror novel, the core theme is love. She said that she has always liked this author."
"I'll borrow it for a look next time I have a chance."
"Dong Xie, actually I think the short horror stories you wrote are more exciting."
"She said that she hopes that she can work together with capable people in the future, and does not want others to always regard her as a simple rich second generation capable person... So, I want to work hard to see. Finally,
It doesn’t matter if you fail, just treat it as a challenge in life.”
In fact, Dong Xie wanted to say that this was probably Qi Yuxuan's tactful refusal to let him back out of trouble. After the love letter incident, she had already vaguely known Lin Cheng's thoughts. With Lu Jie's character, he would definitely gossip in front of her.
However, Lin Cheng is really working hard now.
On the way to school, he listens to English with headphones and memorizes vocabulary words. He always does math papers during his lunch break, and he always goes to the office to ask the teacher to answer questions.
"I have already decided, Dong Xie. I must take the exam and go to SH City."
Dong Xie is not as courageous as Lin Cheng. He has never thought about going to a foreign university, let alone for a girl.
"Lin Cheng...you have really thought about it...right?"
"It's not that difficult, as long as you can take two courses. Recently, I studied the admissions of major colleges in the college entrance examination in recent years..."
"That's not what I'm talking about. Some things can be achieved through hard work. Some things cannot be achieved through hard work."
After a long time, Lin Cheng replied: "I've thought about it, Dong Xie."
…
Dong Xie finally got through to Lin Cheng's cell phone.
"Hey..." Dong Xie had already completed the discharge procedures, "Lin Cheng, have you returned to SH City?"
"I'm back. Dong Xie, I left in such a hurry this time. I'm really sorry. Next time..."
"No need for next time, Lin Cheng. I will come to SH City next. Let me ask you...we are best friends, right?"
"Yes...yes. What's wrong? Dong Xie?"
"Qi Yuxuan's insomnia, you didn't tell me the truth, right? Don't lie in front of me. You could never deceive me when you lied ten years ago."
"Dong Xie... you... what are you talking about?"
"Do you know how A Ning died?"
Immediately afterwards, Dong Xie simply opened the skylight and spoke frankly.
"Lin Cheng...the horror stories we wrote in high school are actually scarier than this in reality."
"Dong Xie, listen to me. If you treat me as a friend, don't come to SH City."
"You really are hiding something very important from me, right?"
"I told you not to come! In this case, I will come to K City next week..."
"I have to come! Lin Cheng! Even if I beg you, I have never begged you!"
"I said, no!" Lin Cheng actually roared and said these words.
"Listen to me, Ah Ning's death was because of...hey, hey, hey?"
Then Dong Xie discovered that Lin Cheng’s call had been hung up!
During the three years of high school, Dong Xie and Lin Cheng barely had a fight. But now...
Obviously, Lin Cheng is hiding a terrible secret that he cannot tell himself no matter what!
"Xia Li, I'll go back to the apartment first, tidy up, and then... go to SH City right away!"
