Wen/Like wine
A
June, midsummer.
The sun is scorching the earth, and the egret trees in the campus are caressed by the warm wind in summer, swaying from branch to branch, shaking off clusters of white egret flowers, dancing in the air and finally stopping in dark brown hair.
Fang Xiaqi moved her eyes, finally stretched herself, and her eyes were dim. She shook off the petals in her hair, lifted her glasses, picked up the picture beside her, and stood up for class.
"hmm ... the class is at two o'clock this afternoon, right? Now ... oops!" Looking up, I saw that the minute hand of the clock in the corridor pointed to "VIIII"-she was going to be late in a quarter of an hour.
A long white dress fluttered, and she ran and soon went up to the third floor.
"is this the right room?"
This room is completely different from other classrooms. The birch door is dyed blue and white, and white paint is flowing on the window, as if it had just been splashed, and there is a slight piano sound slowly flowing out of the window.
when Xia Qi opened the door, a creaking sound seemed to disturb the people in the room. The piano came to an abrupt end and I saw a boy staring at him.
"classmate, which department are you in?"
"Yes ... I'm sorry ... I'm in the wrong classroom, so I'm leaving ..."
Before the boy asked more questions, the door was slammed shut, and Xia Qi covered his face with a painting, afraid to see anyone, and went to the wrong classroom before class ...
Just as she was about to leave, footsteps came from behind her and she looked back and saw the boy panting.
Xia Qi was stunned. The person in front of him was tall and handsome, wearing a white shirt, and his eyes were full of doubts and expectations. Maybe he knew him, but now he has forgotten.
"Sorry, I may have forgotten who you are ..."
"I'm Xi, have you forgotten?"
"stream? Sorry, I still can't remember ... "
" Oh ... but it doesn't matter, we can get to know each other again. My name is Gu Xi, a stream stream. "
"My name is Fang Xiaqi, and I'm Xia in summer, and I'm Qi at the bottom of a wooden character."
"Xia and Qi, I know."
"well, it's over! I'm really late, well, see you next time. "
"ok, see you next time."
Second
"Fang Da painter, you have been laughing for three minutes. Are you having an affair? You are very demanding, aren't you? Which child can be seen by you? "
"Go on, talk nonsense, I don't like anyone."
Xia Qi retorted in an unnatural tone, and he didn't forget to whisper, "It's him ..."
Fang Xia and Gu Xi have liked to play together since primary school. Xia Qi made a friend when he was curious because Gu Xi's name was like a girl, and Gu Xi readily agreed.
Gossip about them is often spread in the class. Some bold students even call Xia Qi "Gu Xi's wife", but she doesn't care much. However, Gu Xi always tries to argue after hearing this, and she smiles when she sees it. By the sixth grade, everyone's studies are busy, and this matter slowly turns pages in peace.
When the exam was officially over and Xia Qi was going home from school, Gu Xi stopped her: "Qi, I have something to tell you."
"what's the matter?"
"Qi, I like you, seriously."
"Well ... brook, don't be stimulated by public opinion. You know, we are still young ..."
"Did you ... refuse?"
The boy in front of me suddenly began to cry, crying louder and louder, and finally he was choked to cough.
Xi is still a child after all, Xia Qi thought.
"well, well, if we can meet again in the future, I will marry you, ok?"
"hmm ... ok ..."
-flashback is over-
"I was so stupid at that time that I said I would marry him, but I went to the north with my parents, so he shouldn't remember. In other words, that crying bag has grown into a calm person a few years ago, and I feel cold when I talk to him. "
Xia Qi poked his head out and asked Zhu Yu in the lower berth:
"Ah Yu, do you know Gu Xi?"
"You mean Gu Xi? He is the male god of our school. Why, do you have a crush on him? "
"No!"
Xia Qi quickly denied that he was late for class today because of Gu Xi, and was scolded by Lao Li, the bald math teacher. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Thinking of this, she began to worry again. What if Gu Xi remembered the agreement when she was a child? What if he comes back and lets himself perform?
Maybe because he was too tired, Xia Qi didn't want to think about Gu Xi and fall asleep.

"Qi, I ... I like you."
"Xi, we can't be together."
"why?"
"Because ..."
"Ding Rinrin-"Xia Qi was awakened by the sound of the alarm clock and only remembered this paragraph in his dream. "Why on earth did I refuse him?"
"Forget it, let's go to the piano room first."
when Xia Qi went to the piano room, he heard the piano sound again. There was almost no bass in the whole song-Gu Xi was playing the piano. She carefully opened the curtain and saw him sitting in front of the piano in a suit, his fingers shuttling on the keys and making bursts of music.
Xia Qi took out his writing pad and pencil from his pocket, and began to draw in front of the people. The face, the piano and the black-and-white keys ...
At the end of the song, the painting was finished.
I saw Gu Xi smile, still looking at the keys and making a brisk voice:
"Good morning, Qi."
"well, good morning, Xi."
"Are you drawing me?"
"No ...No."
"Wow, guilty conscience is written on your face!"
"I didn't! You are guilty. "
"Ok, ok, I believe you are telling the truth."
"Xi ... that ..."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing ..."
He must have forgotten it. It would be naive to let him fulfill his promise by himself at this time-Xia Qi mused.
"what's the matter?"
I can't talk for the time being, but if I don't talk, won't he hear? I ... like you ...
"Qi?"
what should I do?
"Qi, I ..."
"I like you." "I like you!"
Almost at the same time, it seems that both of them didn't expect the other party to suddenly confess, and they were both stunned.
"Well, is what you said true?"
"it's true. So ... can you try dating me? "
Xia Qi looked at the red earlobe of the person in front of her, but her eyes were fixed on her, and she didn't know how to answer.
"I agree to fulfill the agreement made with you four years ago."
this sentence, like a small hammer, hammered out a sacred answer and knocked on the hearts of both of them-both Qi and Xi are willing, which is the love and growth of youth.
"really?" "Of course."
Even the atmosphere became relaxed, as if everything could drift away with the pure egret flower, leaving only the conversation between him and her soul.
There was a warm wind blowing outside the window. Gu Xi saw that the girl had grown up, and it really made him happy to express her courage by her own consciousness and ability.

"Hello, boyfriend."
"hello, girlfriend."
"Do you know how beautiful you are? Beautiful and lovely, but don't be abducted by other little girls. "
"You are the most beautiful and you are the most lovely. Don't be cheated by other men."
"I know! Stream, I like you so much. "
"well, me too."
she made eye contact with him.
"I'm so scared. I can't see you when I wake up, just like when I was a child ..."
"No, little fool, I'll wake up when you wake up."
It's like a piano music, and their souls gradually rise to the high notes until they can't go up ...
—— Senior three, the college entrance examination is over ——
"Fang Xiaqi, come out quickly."
I saw Gu Xi standing at the entrance of her examination room, greeting her lightly, and the sun shone through his fingertips into Xia Qi's dark eyes.
At this time, she feels that she has the best lover in the world, and the afterglow of the world is paving the way for him. What role is she? Maybe not good enough for him.
but when she saw his smile, she was relieved.
"Xia Qi, I have good news and bad news."
"tell the good news first."
"here you are." The eye is a delicate crystal ball, in which is a boy playing the piano with his eyes closed-much like Gu Xi, Xia Qi thought.
"When I'm away, you can think of me when you look at it."
"while you were away?"
"Do you want to hear the bad news?"
"hmm." The answer is heavy but powerful.
"I am going to study abroad."
"what?"
"Bristol University."
"let's ... go back." She seems to be trying to change the subject.
The afterglow of the sunset spilled on the white school uniform, which was bright and brilliant, and the wind was not strong enough to touch her face.
They haven't said anything. They have been getting along for two years. Naturally, they don't want each other to be far away from themselves, but they can't stop it. Bristol is the most suitable place for Gu Xi to grow up, both in terms of world popularity and cultural teaching level.
"I will come back and find you, as we agreed when we were children."
Me, too. I will wait for you until you come back ... This sentence was stuck in Xia Qi's throat, and she had no strength to speak, so she just sobbed quietly.
Gu Xi didn't go to comfort her, and continued to pace forward.
In the sunset, two people are walking, the girl is crying silently, and the teenager is humming Vincent softly. Xia Qi knows that this is the warmest comfort.
"it's ... when was the plane?"
"eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
"shall I see you off?"
"no need."
In Gu Xi's coat pocket lies the ticket, which is clearly printed with "The flight is expected to take off at 7: ".
Xia Qi holds a crystal ball in his hand: "OK."
She didn't know how she got back and how she fell asleep in the tide of tears ...
The next day
Xia Qi was awakened by the alarm clock. When she opened her eyes, the crystal ball was still there, but he had already left ...
The egret flower seemed to understand her thoughts and floated into the window, landed on her windowsill and flew between her hair.
She gently twisted the white petals and put them in front of her eyes, facing the sun. Finally, she found that the egret flower could block part of the sun, so that she could see soft and flawless white.
Later, she went to Z University to report that her outstanding appearance and gentle personality were liked by many boys. For a long time, seniors and schoolmates confessed to her, and the answer was always just one sentence-
"Sorry, I have a boyfriend."
She kept her promise, especially with Gu Xi.

Three years later
Fang Xiaqi was standing in front of the experiment table. She was studying a direct blog, and she had to spend five years in a busy time, no longer thinking about painting, but still couldn't forget that person.
"Xia Qi, someone is looking for you downstairs."
"No."
"But this time it's very nice, and it looks about your age ..."
"I'm not going."
"Are you sure you don't want to go? People look very anxious. "
"no, really."
Ji Li can only sigh and go downstairs. Her dear best friend didn't find a boyfriend in college for three years, and said that she had a boyfriend, and she didn't know what she was thinking. It's true that the emperor was in no hurry.
When she saw the figure leaning against the egret tree, she could not help feeling sad for him. How could such a good boy fall in love with Xia Qi, who was almost frigid?
"Well, Xia Qi said he didn't want to see you. I'm sorry."
"Can I borrow your mobile phone? Make a phone call. "
"hmm? Ok. "
Turn on the phone and dial the number. Xia Qi's voice came from the other end.
"Li Er, it's not that I won't go ..."
"I'm back." Gu Xi said softly.
"Xi ... you stand still, I'll go right away."
"hmm." She was even more excited when she heard Gu Xi's promise softly. She didn't even have time to change her white coat and ran downstairs.
The students passing by were amazed. Fang Xiaqi, who is usually the coolest, was so flustered at this moment. There was no class, so they joined in.
"thank you." Gu Xi handed the phone back to Ji Li.
"what? Give up? In fact, you don't have to hang yourself from a tree ... "
" Gu Xi! " Before she finished, there was a shout in the distance. Gu Xi did not move, looking at Xia Qi quickly ran to his face and hugged himself.
he hugged back, and it was tight, and neither of them wanted to lose each other again.
"Isn't Bristol four years? You didn't go to graduate school? "
"Well, for your sake, I hope to come back early."
"thank you ... thank you. Besides, it's so naughty."
Xia Qi's words broke into tears, and her tears dripped on Gu Xi's white shirt. Despite the noise of others, she still clung to the person in front of her.
"Is this Fang Xuejie's boyfriend? No wonder she refused so many people. This looks like a perfect man ... "
" Fang Xuejie seemed to call him Gu Xi just now. Is that the Gu Xi I know? I haven't forgotten Fang Xuejie when I went to study in Bristol. Touching love. "
"Sister Fang cried for him. She must love him very much."
This moment is like a wedding scene. He and she are newlyweds, shining brightly in the crowd.
Being talked about by so many classmates, Xia Qi was still a little embarrassed. He said, "Come with me first" and took Gu Xi by the hand and walked to the experimental building.
"Do you miss me these years?"
"of course."
"How did you get into school?"
"said Bristol's audience."
"You are really a good student at BU Da ..."
"Envy? Anyway, I am yours, you might as well envy yourself first. "
"Hey, hey ..." Xia Qi spat out his tongue and looked at the boy in front of him-he had completely lost his previous naivety, his hair was not long but not short, and his dark eyes seemed to shine brilliantly, with a clean face and a slender body-all in all, Xia Qi liked everything.
She is hopelessly in love with him, and even time can't beat their fetters.
"let's get married."
"ok."
Xi hasn't changed. He will always accommodate her ideas, do his best to bring her beauty, surprise her and play her own songs ...
"So casual?"
"Maybe, there will be something more casual.
Now put your right hand out. "
Xia Qi quietly raised her right hand. She witnessed the person kneeling in front of her and whispered to her, "Qi, will you marry me?"
She tried to make up for her cowardice countless times; After parting again and again, she hopes to spend more time to offset it.
"I promise you, and I love you."
She saw the boy in front of her personally putting on the ring for her. She didn't know when Xixi bought the ring, so she slowly began to give it to her.
