don't go near that tree

Chapter 27

On the first day home, Wu Chun was not used to it.

Even if he wakes up in the morning, he still lies in bed and doesn't want to move, unlike at his grandfather's place, he has one thought every day - to go to Xu Shiyao's side.

The college entrance examination holiday is undoubtedly the most leisurely, especially after returning home, Wu Chun will either sit on the sofa in a daze or lie in a daze on the bed. The things he liked before are completely uninterested now.

Even if he remembered a happy thing, it was mostly related to Xu Shiyao.

After three consecutive days like this, when Wu Chun was sitting in a daze in front of the desk with a book in his hand as usual, there was a knock on the door of the room.

Wu Chun was taken aback for a moment, then got up after realizing it, and opened the door.

"Yu Shuo."

Wu Chun looked at the person in front of him, really surprised.

Yu Shuo can be regarded as his childhood friend, and their fate can be summed up in two words: magical. From kindergarten to high school, they were still at the same table regardless of the same class. Even when they are in college, they both got into the same school.

It's just that the applicants are not in the same major.

If it wasn't for this guy taking his girlfriend to play around with his girlfriend during the holidays, Wu Chun wouldn't be thrown to his grandfather's house in the countryside. But now, Wu Chun is a little grateful in his heart. My personal love affair progressed rapidly. When arranging travel plans, I disliked myself as a light bulb, so I cruelly abandoned myself.

It was precisely because of this that Wu Chun met Xu Shiyao.

Wu Chun didn't believe in fate before, but at this moment, he always felt that the encounter between himself and Xu Shiyao seemed to be destined in the dark.

"Why are you back?" Wu Chun asked with a smile.

"I heard from my aunt that you miss me at home and go crazy? I have to come back and have a look."

Not seen for a few days, the old classmate still owes a beating.

Wu Chun rolled his eyes at the other party, "Come in, don't stand at the door."

"Auntie is right. You look like a different person?"

"What's wrong with me?" Wu Chun handed him a glass of water, and asked angrily.

"Hmm... It's like losing your soul. You're always weak. Auntie said you've been in a daze every day since you came back from the countryside. Tell me what's going on."

Wu Chun slumped down on the sofa, he knew that his absent-minded appearance would definitely arouse his mother's suspicion, but mother never believed in ghosts and gods, otherwise there would probably be quite a few people from Wu Chun's family who would come to perform the ritual in the past three days batch.

Wu Chun wanted to make himself as normal as possible, even if it was only in front of his parents.

It's a pity that Wu Chun can't control this kind of emotion, it surges in, invades Wu Chun's heart domineeringly, directs Wu Chun's brain, manipulates Wu Chun's emotions, and there is only one source of emotions - Xu Shiyao.

Wu Chun realized later that this emotion has a beautiful name-missing.

Wu Chun missed the three days when he couldn't see Xu Shiyao. He closed his eyes, and the bits and pieces of the relationship between them were in his mind. When night came, Wu Chun would miss him again. When Xu Shiyao appeared from the pine tree, If you can't see yourself waiting for him, will you feel very disappointed.

Wu Chun couldn't see that Xu Shiyao was lost, as long as he thought of the other party's eyes, Wu Chun's heart felt like a needle had been pricked.

"Yu Shuo, how did you know you like him?" Wu Chun asked suddenly.

"How should I say it?" Yu Shuo put down the cup in his hand, thought for a while, and then slowly said, "I've been paying attention to her for a long time, you must know that, but I didn't like it at the time, I like this feeling, it seems that I grew up It was formed slowly over time, I didn't realize it at first, but after I realized it, I realized that I already love her very much, what's wrong? Brother, have you met someone you like?"

"Then how do you behave when you like someone?" Wu Chun asked again.

"It's what you are now." Yu Shuo said without hesitation.

Wu Chun was taken aback.

"What do I look like? What do I look like?"

"Lost soul! Look at the time I've been here for a while, and you've been stunned twice. You look like me and my partner are not together. Every time I miss her."

Wu Chun: "..."

"Hey, buddy, have you really met someone you like?" Yu Shuo said excitedly and sat next to Wu Chun, "Well, I'll ask you a few questions, you don't have to answer them, just think about it yourself and see if you can Right on, how?"

Wu Chun didn't speak, but the reaction he gave was that he acquiesced to the request.

"Even if you don't do anything when you are with him, you will be very happy."

Wu Chun thought of how he and Xu Shiyao just sat together quietly, silent to each other, but they didn't feel awkward, instead there was a kind of leisurely warmth.

Even if you do nothing, you will be happy.

"I want to see each other every day, maybe you will make excuses for being lazy about something, but you are more active than anything else in meeting him."

That being said, it really is.

Even though Wu Chun reclaimed a piece of wasteland on the mountain in those few days, Wu Chun was exhausted from doing farm work for the first time, but because of Xu Shiyao, he persisted.

"Sometimes some of his actions will make your heart beat faster inexplicably, and even blush."

Wu Chunping's hands on his knees curled up slightly after hearing this question.

"I miss you very much after separation. Even if you have only been separated for a short period of time, you will always think about what the other person is doing, or whether you are happy at the moment?"

Wu Chun became visibly flustered. Although he didn't want to face it, he had to admit that everything Yu Shuo said just now fit perfectly with him.

Do you like it?

Wu Chun asked himself this question again.

These days, he has never dared to think about the word "like", and even tried to find an appropriate excuse for his strange feeling towards Xu Shiyao, but after searching, he still found the word "like". most suitable.

"Wu Chun." Yu Shuo put his hand lightly on Wu Chun's shoulder, and said seriously, "I'm not sure that liking must be these four manifestations. Everyone will have their own answer to liking, but there is no doubt about it. He is definitely the most unique in your heart, you should think about how you feel about your him."

Wu Chun didn't speak immediately. After thinking quietly for a while, he asked a little uneasily, "If it's wrong for you to like it, or won't this kind of like be accepted and blessed by others?"

"It's hard for me to say. Everyone has their own opinions, but I think you like the other person very much, and the other person likes you very much. If you don't love once, you may have regrets. Want to go out tonight? Take you to relax? See Are you going to the movie?"

Wu Chun nodded, after three days at home, it was time to go out.

It's just that when it came time to come out, Wu Chun felt a little regretful.

He stood at the ticket collection place of the cinema, watching the crowd coming and going, the feeling of emptiness in his heart became more obvious,

They took the tickets and sat down in the second row of the theater.

The movie was chosen by Yu Shuo. Wu Chun has never been very interested in these things. Rather than watching movies, he prefers to read a few books or newspapers, so most of Wu Chun's money is thrown at the small newsstands on the side of the road.

The number of times I go is too many. Every time I come to a new magazine, the uncle at the newsstand will take the initiative to leave a copy for him.

But Wu Chun watched today's film.

It's a very old-fashioned romance movie. It is said that when Yu Shuo bought tickets, only this movie was left. In the past, Wu Chun would never watch it, but today, Wu Chun seems to be attracted.

The story is a bit bloody. The couple in the play is a pair that is not approved by everyone around them. The story is nothing more than that they have gone through some unforgettable experiences, and finally came together. What attracts Wu Chun is only the part of this experience. A certain sentence - no one knows, we are in love.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wu Chun's brain seemed to become transparent at that moment.

Most of Wu Chun's hesitation about Xu Shiyao's feelings may come from the outside world, and he will not be understood or approved by others, and it will even expose Xu Shiyao's existence and cause harm to the other party.

But what if no one knows?

Perhaps there are only two people in this world who know of Xu Shiyao's existence, Wu Chun's grandfather and Wu Chun.

Wu Chun trusted his grandfather 100%. From several conversations, Wu Chun could feel his grandfather's admiration and gratitude for Xu Shiyao.

Maybe the two of them love each other, needless to say with others.

Love has nothing to do with others, it is good that they understand each other clearly and enjoy this relationship.

At this moment, the light in Wu Chun's eyes was scattered for three days, and they finally gathered together slowly.

The moment he left the cinema, Wu Chun hugged Yu Shuo excitedly.

"Thank you Yu Shuo, I understand."

"What?" Yu Shuo was confused, "What did you realize?"

How did this guy cut the beginning and the end of his words? Can a love movie see the philosophy of life?

It's a pity that he didn't get an answer from Wu Chun. After the other party hugged him, he quickly ran back home.

"Mom, I'm going back to my grandfather's tomorrow." As soon as he got home, Wu Chun began to pack his things, "I went home and thought about some things these few days, and now I have figured it out, and school will start soon, so don't delay. Go back and accompany my grandfather."

Although Wu Chun's mother had doubts, she didn't say much, and finally helped Wu Chun buy a ticket to Shili Village.

At night, Wu Chun leaned on the bed, holding Mr. Xu Shiyao's own pine cone in his hand. The pine cone gave off a faint light in the dark night. Wu Chun poked it with his finger, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

"Do you know? Xu Shiyao? I like you." Wu Chun whispered to the pinecone. In the room where he was alone, Wu Chun became extra bold.

"Do you know what liking is? I'm not sure what it's like. Yu Shuo told me that I'll think of you all the time, I'll be happy when I'm with you, and I'll miss you when I don't see you, but I don't feel like it." It’s just these, I can’t tell you the specifics, maybe I like this confusing but exciting feeling.”

Wu Chun moved the pinecone closer to him, and continued, "Maybe we won't be favored if we are together, but it doesn't matter, we can talk about a love that no one knows, and let's be happy in a corner that others can't see , So, I have made such a big determination, you can't refuse me."

After Wu Chun finished speaking, he smiled dotingly and lightly poked the pine cone in his palm with his finger.

Outside the window, the moon is bright.

The next day, when Wu Chun arrived at Shili Village, it was already afternoon.

After Wu Chun got up for dinner at his grandfather's house, he rushed to Shili Mountain in a hurry. He first watered the vegetables, then beat the ground with a small wooden stick, and waited for the sunset.

"Ten, nine...one"

The word "one" was spoken, but Xu Shiyao did not appear.

"What's going on? Do we have to wait for the sunset?" Wu Chun asked suspiciously.

It's just that it was completely dark that day, and Wu Chun still didn't see Xu Shiyao's figure.

Standing in the pine forest, Wu Chun yelled twice in a panic.

No answer.

Until late at night, Wu Chun did not wait for Xu Shiyao to appear.
