Chapter 9 ice cream in love

ice cream in love In June, gardenias bloomed, big and white. A Duo and I walked arm in arm in the fragrant night of the campus.A Duo told me a joke that she just saw, and I laughed so hard that I squeezed her arm desperately.She stopped under the street lamp, looked at me, and said seriously: "Ice cream, you can't laugh, if you laugh, even the moonlight will melt away!" "Sweet mouth." I said, "If you want to melt it, you have to melt it in your mouth first." A Duo laughed faintly.After laughing, he said something that I have told me thousands of times: "Ice cream, none of us should be in love, okay, otherwise the one left behind will be so lonely."

"Don't worry." I said, "I won't lose my insurance later." "Of course I won't." A Duo said, "But after graduation, I will compete with you to see who gets married first!" It's a really sad topic, actually we are graduating soon and the days at school can only be counted by the days.And after graduation, A Duo and I will be separated, one to the south and the other to the north.I have been good friends with A Duo for four years, she is my top bunk, she taught me how to make a beautiful quilt and grab two bottles of boiling water in a crowded boiling water room.A Duo has natural curly hair, especially after washing her hair, the curly hair is thrilling, which is an effect that no hair stylist can do, and she has a generous personality, dare to act, and is very cute.She said that she had never seen a girl as small as me, and she couldn't help but want to love her.

We hit it off right away. In our class, only she and I have never been in love.When other girls and boyfriends are friends with each other, A Duo and I often play chess viciously in the dormitory. Whoever loses will get red-eyed and twist the other side to play another game, until finally one party is convinced and has no intention of fighting. Just give up. Over the past four years, A Duo and I have been inseparable and talked about everything, and the close friendship has made others sour with envy.But there are also some unspoken past events between me and her, and that is about Ling. I think A Duo and I fell in love with Ling on the same day.

Ling is a fellow from my hometown, one class higher than us, and also the lead singer of our school band.His voice is a little hoarse, and he sings with a special taste.I am not very proficient in pop songs, but A Duo knows all kinds of singers very well.I took A Duo to that fellowship gathering. As soon as Ling started, he held a guitar and played "Four Rhymes of Nostalgia" by Luo Dayou: "Give me a ladle of Yangtze River water, Yangtze River water, that wine-like Yangtze River water, that The taste of drunkenness is the taste of nostalgia, give me a ladle of Yangtze River water..." At that time, we were just sophomores, although we were not freshmen, but this homesick song still properly took care of our homesickness .That night, A Duo looked extraordinarily excited, looking at Ling's eyes like shining stars in the night sky.But Ling asked me to dance first, he was much taller than me, I was very uncomfortable in his arms, my unfamiliar dance steps were messy and embarrassing.Ling said your name is Ni Bing, right? I nodded.Ling said that she had known for a long time that there was a beautiful elementary school girl named Ni Bing, but she never thought she was so beautiful.No boy has ever praised me like this before. I suspect that Ling is such a sweet talk to all girls, but I like his sweet talk a little bit. When he led me to dance, A Duo was singing a song by Faye Wong , the lyrics are very interesting: "The taste of the first bite of cake, the comfort of the first toy. The sun goes down, the sun goes down, and the ice cream tears. The taste of the second cake, the comfort of the second toy, the wind blows , the wind is blowing, the popcorn is so beautiful..."

Ling asked me in A Duo's singing: "That girl doesn't seem to be from our hometown?" "Yes, it's my friend. She came to play with me." "Her hair is like popcorn," Ling criticized. "Didn't you hear her singing 'Popcorn Is So Beautiful'?" I said with a chuckle. "I like a girl like you." A smile curled up on Ling's lips, "She's a bit vulgar." "If you don't like my friend," I said, pushing him away, "you don't have to like me at all." "Oh?" He pulled me back again and said, "Okay, okay, I admit that popcorn is delicious? I can't make ice cream cry!"

A handsome boy who knows how to coax girls. I'm really a little tempted. When it was over, he asked A Duo to dance again. I watched A Duo bury her head in his arms and smiled coquettishly under the flickering lights. I must have said something that made her happy. Hug a little tighter.I heard a slightly lost sigh in my heart.But I don't allow myself to be unhappy. For a long time, I thought A Duo would fall in love with Ling.Because A Duo always mentioned him in front of me, and pulled me and her to watch the rehearsal of the school band every weekend.To be precise, it was to listen to Ling sing.When Ling sang those love songs, he would often look at us and smile with his eyes.A Duo also looked at him and smiled, keeping his head in time.But I often turn my head away unknowingly, not daring to look at him.

Finally, one time, Ling came down from the stage and invited us to drink tea after dinner. I made excuses and said that I couldn’t go. Ling said in front of A Duo, "What? Afraid I will eat you?" A Duo laughed loudly and said, "Don't underestimate ice cream, she is so bold." "Really?" Ling turned to A Duo and said, "I think you are much more courageous than her." "That's right," A Duo said, "She dare not go, I dare to go!" ice cream in love (2) I went to my aunt's house that night, and A Duo went to the appointment alone, wearing her beloved blue dress.Perhaps because she had a premonition of what kind of story would happen, her face was always red.When we broke up, she said to me blushing like that: "Ice cream, you should stop going to your aunt's house, and go with me, okay?"

"It's not good," I said, "If I really go, you will think I'm redundant." "No, no!" A Duo said, "You will never be redundant." But she didn't insist in the end, and finally went by herself. I sat on the sofa at my aunt’s house and gnawed an apple ferociously, imagining that A Duo and Ling were sitting in the dimly lit teahouse called “Blue Moon” at the gate of the school, talking about those ambiguous words, ordering myself not to be sad. But before the apple was finished eating, she received a call from A Duo, and she was crying out of breath.I asked her why?A Duo scolded Ling as a pig, and invited her to drink tea, but played poker with three other boys in the tea room, completely leaving her alone.

"Come quickly," A Duo said, "come and teach your fellow villagers a lesson for me." Not wanting to hear A Duo cry, I rushed back to school in a hurry, A Duo was waiting for me at the bus stop.As soon as he saw me, he threw himself into my arms, his eyes were red and swollen, and he whispered: "Ice cream, my self-esteem is broken. I don't want to see anyone again!" I put A Duo in the dormitory, and then I went out to look for Ling.Sure enough, Ling was still playing cards at "Blue Moon". When he saw me, he stood up in surprise and walked outside with me.

I asked him, "Are you too much?" "If it were you," Ling said, "the treatment would be different." "It's not rare," I said, "you have to apologize to my sister for hurting her." "Okay." Ling said, "You can say whatever you want." "Then stop playing cards," I said, "and come with me to the dormitory to coax her." "Have you thought it through?" Ling said, "Are you sure?" I hated his tone, and turned to leave, but he grabbed me and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

"No need," I said coldly, "if you're not interested, please don't make fun of her next time for the sake of my hometown, OK?" "Then why do you repay it?" "If you must, it's a slap." "Ice Cream, you don't look like a girl at all, you have a hard heart," he said. "But I have a good heart, which is better than you." "I like a girl with a good heart, but she always avoids me." Ling said, "I hope to have the opportunity to say something to her. Do you think it's okay?" I was really afraid that he would say something, so I turned around and ran away. Anyway, I hate him for making Ah Duo unhappy.In fact, more importantly, I don't believe that a boy like Ling will stay for anyone. He is full of ambitions. Love can only be a condiment forever, so I won't be fooled. Unexpectedly, Ling Zhen came to apologize the next day and said a lot of good things in a glib manner.I said it's useless for you to talk too much, it's better to sing a song, Ling will really sing, and several songs will be repeated to make A Duo happy.A Duo was finally relieved when she was angry, but it could be seen that she was seriously hurt, and her smile was always so far-fetched. I walked away quietly, longing for Ling Neng to comfort A Duo more. I shed a tear at the corner of the stairs.But I quickly wiped it away and no one saw it. That night, A Duo hid in my little bed, buried his head in my chest, and said to me: "He won't love me, I'm dead." "Why?" My heart trembled. "He said he can't love anyone." A Duo said, "I think maybe it's because he thinks we are unrealistic. So he doesn't want to play love." "It would be great if I were also your fellow countryman." A Duo finally sighed, "I finally met love, but I can only keep it in my heart." Her long, curly hair fell over my arms as she fell asleep wearily. In the future, Ling would no longer invite us, and we would seldom go to rehearsals, and we would not have many opportunities to see each other. For example, occasionally in the cafeteria, he would stop us and say, "Ice cream, popcorn, what do you want to eat today?" A Duo usually retorts, "Could you please ask me what you want to eat?" Then he'd say, "Please, please, until you lose everything!" After he left, A Duo said to me: "This man is all-round, and he doesn't tell the truth." But Ling really invited us once, before he graduated, and he invited a full table.Instead of returning to his hometown, he found a pretty good job in a city not far from here.We congratulated him together, and he drank more wine that night, put his hand on my shoulder, and called me "little ice cream girl".And said to others: "Take good care of my little sister and her good friends. I am leaving. If they are wronged at school, I will not spare you." A Duo was a little sad, his eyes were wet, but I quickly pushed his hand away, and said coldly: "Thank you for your concern, I will take care of myself." That night, a beautiful guitar sound suddenly came from downstairs in the girls' dormitory.We had just finished grooming and lay in bed when the guitar wafted in through the window flawlessly.A Duo rushed to the window, and then I heard her scream in a low voice: "Ling, it's Ling!" It's really Ling. His singing voice is already so familiar to me. ice cream in love (3) Ling is singing a song that I have never heard before: the city under the moonlight, the people under the lamp, the people waiting in the crowd, the wind in the wind, the sound of the years in the song, who sighs unconsciously, who is old without knowing it Listen to the beautiful morning of one leaf knowing autumn You have come and left behind the fragrance of cherry blossoms The window was opened and the door was opened and people asked me how to say it You once sang the same moonlight You once accompanied me to mourn for the fallen leaves Once you painted my appearance in front of the snow-covered window Those snow-covered winters, the boy without an umbrella, the vows blocked by the door, the string of goodbyes covered in snow... The moonlight in summer was weak, covering his body like a veil. Looking down from the fourth floor, only a vague silhouette could be seen.The whole girls' building was boiling, and a girl rushed into our dormitory and shouted to A Duo: You are so lucky, A Duo, when you are eighty years old, you will never forget that someone expressed love to you like this. A Duo cried bitterly in that singing.But she didn't go downstairs. I do not have either. After Ling finished singing, he got up and left. I sat on my little bed and hugged my legs, but my heart followed Ling's footsteps all the way. The moonlight suddenly became overwhelming, but I didn't have the opportunity to express my sadness and excitement. In the whole world except Ling, only I know that the song was actually sung for me. I'm sure. A boy who is so proud of Ling chose such a way to show his sincerity.It's not that I'm not grateful, but there's nothing I can do. The relationship between me and him is the same as that between A Duo and him. After Ling left, there was no news. For a whole year, A Duo and I never mentioned him again, as if we never knew him.When other people were in love, we locked ourselves in the dormitory and played chess, and A Duo never sang the song called "Song".The ice cream no longer sheds tears, and the popcorn is not in a good mood. Love it or hate it, I know we all miss Ling.But neither of us speak. I comforted myself and said, in fact, there are many people like this, they are destined not to belong to your life, they appear gently, and then forcibly withdraw from your life, no longer have the slightest connection.For such a person, there is no need to feel pain, because he cannot feel your pain, and such pain is meaningless. By chance, I heard the song Ling sang that night on the radio, and then I realized that the song was called "Moonlight Allure" and the original singer was Lao Lang.I was terribly dazed and dazed, the melody of the song hit my heart directly, for me who is not familiar with pop music, the song I only heard once felt so familiar and intimate.Without telling A Duo, I tried my best to get the lyrics of this song, copied it carefully, put it under my pillow, and fell asleep with it every night. Such memories are actually quite good. Otherwise, I really don't want to ask for anything. I didn't expect to meet Ling Chong. It was the day before our graduation.It was unbearably hot, and the sun was shining everywhere.A Duo and I bought a large bottle of sunscreen and applied it from our face and neck to our feet.Sorrow of parting tortures us like the scorching sun in summer.A Duo is luckier than me. Her parents in the north have already found a suitable job for her, but I can only be unemployed and wait for opportunities, so my mood has been in a low state. A Duo said: "Ice cream, I have a good idea. Let's buy two identical skirts to wear. When we go home, we will think of each other when we wear these skirts. By the way, we can also enjoy the air-conditioning in the shopping mall." "Okay." I said. It was already dusk when we returned to school wearing exactly the same big flower skirts, the sun was no longer so poisonous, and when we were lucky, we could enjoy a cool breeze.We met Ling at the gate of the school. He was carrying a backpack and looked dusty.Seeing us very happy, he said: "Look at you two, I wish you were twin sisters." I suspected it was a dream, but he was so real standing in front of us. "What's wrong?" Ling said with a smile, "You don't know me anymore?" "Are you still alive?" After holding back for a long time, I finally choked out a sentence.Compared with me, A Duo seemed much calmer, she smiled slightly, and then said: "Welcome, we will treat you to dinner tonight." "I invite you." Ling said, "I invite you to Shangri-La." "That's right," said A Duo, "you are richer than us now."
