Many magazines have a "pen pals asked for" section.Pen pals are not as good as whoever thought of them first. No matter who created them, the creators must have profound research on psychology. People like to imagine, and people's imagination is endless. Making friends through correspondence can give people's imagination room to play.Two people who were never acquainted with each other can become acquaintances through writing letters. When they understand each other very deeply, even if they are face to face, they can still not know that the other party is their friend. Satisfy people's masking psychology.

People like to open their hearts, but at the same time hope that no one knows who they are.Many crimes without purpose are based on this psychology.And because the other party of the communication may not be able to meet with oneself at all, the "conversation" between pen pals is sometimes more frank than that of friends who meet every day. The age at which you like to make pen pals the most is of course related to the age at which you like to fantasize the most: according to statistics, it is about fifteen to eighteen years old. Gao Caihong is just sixteen years old this year. Gao Caihong is Bai Su’s cousin. In the year I got married, she was still a little girl who only liked to eat ice cream and soda. When she is so colorful, she must not be associated with the little girl from a few years ago.

Caihong is very lively by nature, knows everything that is popular, and she also likes to make pen pals. I don't have many chances to meet Rainbow.I am her cousin-in-law, and she is somewhat reserved when she sees me; I guess she doesn't meet me very much, but she and Bai Su have a very good relationship. On that day, Rainbow made an exception and walked in front of me. I was reading a newspaper on the balcony.The weather these past few days is very abnormal, stuffy and humid. It's strange to have such weather in winter. Rainbow came to me and called me. I smiled at her: "Are you here? Let's go after dinner and play with your cousin for a while."

Between me and her, it seems that there are only a few words that can be said, but often, she must happily agree, turn and walk away.But today, her attitude was a bit unusual. She called me again, and then said, "There is something I want to discuss with you." I put down the newspaper: "Just talk!" She blushed a little, with a very shy expression: "Cousin-in-law, I have a friend who will come to see me tomorrow." What she said sounds nonsensical. She has a friend who will come to see her tomorrow. What does that have to do with me?Why do you want to consult with me?But I didn't say anything, just smiled and encouraged her to go on.

Rainbow continued: "I've never met him, cousin-in-law, we met through letters." "Oh, it's a pen pal." I get it. "Yes, it's a pen pal." Rainbow said. "Rainbow," I thought for a while, "If it's a pen pal, it's best not to meet. Many pen pals don't communicate with each other after meeting." Rainbow opened his eyes: "Will that happen?" "Of course, and it's very common. Pen pals are maintained by imagination, and there is often a big gap between reality and imagination, so after meeting, it's..."

I didn't say any more, Rainbow is a very smart girl, she will naturally understand what I mean. Rainbow lowered her head, and after a while, she sighed: "But, cousin-in-law, I must see him." I was a little unhappy, and said in a deep voice, "Why?" Rainbow's cheeks turned red: "Because... I love him." I froze for a moment, and asked loudly, "What?" Maybe it was because of my sudden rhetorical question, which was too loud, so the rainbow startled the boss and hurriedly backed away.At this moment, Bai Su came out, supported Rainbow, and then complained to me: "Look at you, Rainbow kindly asked you to discuss it, but you gave her a big jump, she treats you as her elder brother, I'm just telling you what's on my mind!"

I couldn't help but smiled wryly, and thought to myself, if I have a younger sister and she said such ridiculous things to me, I must give her a slap first, and then slowly teach her a lesson! However, Rainbow is not my younger sister, she is not even my cousin, but Bai Su's cousin, of course I can't hit her, but I can never show indifference to her like someone who has nothing to do with me, besides, I can't hide the funny feeling in my heart. I laughed in a very strange tone: "So it is like this, you fell in love with him, the boy is so lucky now, there will be a girl who has never met before falling in love with him, Rainbow, but even I have never seen him before, what kind of love is this?"

I asked myself that my questioning was the most justifiable, and Rainbow must have felt that her so-called "falling in love with him" was extremely absurd to some extent. However, I was completely wrong! Because when Rainbow heard me ask her like that, she immediately opened her eyes wide, and looked at me as if I was an alien weirdo, and then shook her head as if I had made an incurable mistake.Then, she sighed: "Unexpectedly, you are not old, but your thinking is completely outdated. Do you know? People like you are already moldy!" She suddenly accused me like that, which made me both angry and funny: "Moldy? Or, compared to you, I am naturally not so fresh, but I hope to hear your fresh opinion."

Rainbow waved his hand, and put on a speaker's posture: "You asked me just now, and I have never even met. What kind of love is that, right? This kind of question is a moldy way of asking, a medieval question. The era of 'love at first sight', now, do you still talk about it?" I still smiled: "So, now is the time to fall in love with a stranger?" "Not at all, cousin-in-law, you should know that love is the exchange of emotions deep in the heart, the deepest and most penetrating emotion of human beings, and it should touch the depths of the soul, not the surface. And a person , even if I watch him twenty hours a day, what I see is still his surface, but not his inner heart, right?"

I didn't expect Rainbow to be so talkative, so I had to nod. Rainbow continued: "However, since I was thirteen years old, I have been a pen pal with him. During the three years of correspondence with me, he has made me understand him thoroughly. Want to see him? Why can't I love him?" Rainbow's words sound convincing, but they belong to the theory of supremacy of love. I don't believe that if her pen pal is a deformed weirdo, she will still maintain her kind of love. But one is because of her serious expression, and the other is that Bai Su is winking at me frequently, so I gave up the idea of ​​ridiculing her, just smiled and said: "Your words are very touching——"

Unexpectedly, this sentence also attracted Rainbow's objection, and said loudly: "What do you mean I said it movingly? Do you think that love is determined by sight, not by the heart?" I couldn't help laughing, but I still held back: "Okay, then we should start from the beginning. You have a pen pal who has been communicating with you for three years. You have fallen in love with him, and he naturally loves you too. He is coming tomorrow. See you, then, I can't see this matter, what can I discuss with me, but you said you want to discuss this matter with me. " Rainbow hesitated, but did not make a sound, Bai Su said: "Rainbow wants you to accompany her to pick up the plane!" I laughed: "You want me, a moldy person, to pick up the plane with her? It's not good for her fresh lover to see it?" Rainbow stamped his feet, and said angrily, "My cousin!" I saw that her face was flushed, she was really anxious, and hurriedly said: "Rainbow, don't worry, I was just joking with you, but why did you ask me to pick him up together? You must have discussed what emblems to wear , to recognize each other, right?" Rainbow frowned: "Cousin-in-law, I...it's hard to explain why, but you have experienced many strange things, so I think I need to discuss it with you." After I heard it, I was even more puzzled. What's so weird about it?I just can't figure it out. Rainbow saw that I was hesitating, so she said, "I'll let you read the last letter he gave me first." I knew that things must be a little unusual, so I hurriedly said: "Okay, what did he say in the letter?" Rainbow opened her handbag and took out a letter. Her spirit was very anxious: "He wrote to me in a very orderly manner, but this letter is not only illegible, but also a bit...difficult. Speechless." I have reached out to take the letter and pulled out the white letter paper. It is indeed an extremely scribbled letter. The following is the full text of the letter: "Rainbow, they will definitely not let me come to see you, but I am very I can’t come to see you, I must come to see you, you are my beloved, how can I not see my lover? If they don’t succeed in blocking, then I will be on the plane at 8:00 am on the 12th , can see you, of course I want you to come to the airport, or I can't... I can't say anything, they keep blocking me, but I don't think they will make it, hope they don't, may everything Bless me to see you. Yile, yours." I read the whole letter quickly, and then raised my head: "It seems that some people don't let him come to see you." Rainbow nodded and said, "It looks like that, but in the past three years, Yi Le has never mentioned to me that someone can stop him from moving." I was a little confused, and I said, "Is he just a person? For example, his parents, or his guardian, or he is a moldy person like me, who disapprove of him traveling thousands of miles to see someone who has never planned The girl you met and fell in love with her?" "No, no," Rainbow said immediately, "Yile has no parents. He said he didn't know who his parents were, and he didn't have a guardian. He said that six people took care of him." "Is he a rich man?" "I think so," Rainbow said. "Otherwise, how could he have six people to take care of him? But cousin-in-law, that's not why I fell in love with him. I hope you understand that." I have no doubts about this point, I thought for a while, and said: "Have you ever thought that those who want to prevent him from coming to see you, the so-called 'they' in Yi Le's letter are those who take care of him?" six people?" Rainbow shook his head: "I don't know, I never thought that his actions would be blocked by others, and I never imagined that he would be such a person without courage, that his life would be changed because of others' obstruction. Do it, and he will come!" I could see that when Rainbow said that sentence, his attitude and expression were very serious.I asked again: "So, in your imagination, what kind of person should he be?" When Rainbow heard this, the anxious expression on her face immediately subsided a lot, and a strange light appeared on her face. She said: "Yi Le is almost a perfect person. He knows everything. His rich knowledge is beyond my description. He... I think you will like him after meeting him." I laughed: "You said him so well, then I must see him. Okay, I will get up early tomorrow, you come to me first, and then we will go to the airport together." Rainbow couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Cousin-in-law, do you think he...will not be able to make the trip in the end?" I said: "Then I can't predict, you should understand this better, because you know him well, and you have his photo?" Rainbow shook his head: "No, we haven't exchanged photos." I frowned: "Then, why did you recognize him?" Rainbow thought for a while: "I think I can recognize him as soon as I see him. I don't know why. I have this feeling. I feel that even if he is among ten thousand people, I can recognize him." I didn't say anything more because I understood why the rainbow felt that way. The reason why she feels that way is because she has been communicating with Yi Le for a long time, and over time, she has shaped Yi Le's image with her own imagination.Although shaping the successful Yile in her mind is only her imagination, she stubbornly believes in this imagination. Meeting pen pals often leads to tragedies, because the distance between imagination and reality is very large. However, I am not very worried about Rainbow and Yile, because Yile is always a well-off, diligent and knowledgeable young man no matter what.In other words, Yi Le's actual situation may not be too far from Rainbow's imagination. I just said: "Okay, do you remember to come early tomorrow morning?" Rainbow and Bai Su left the balcony together, I continued to read my newspaper, but I found that I couldn't concentrate, so I put down the newspaper and looked into the distance. go. The mountains in the distance are blocked by dense fog, forming layers of hazy mountain shadows, which look very beautiful, but the buildings on the mountains are completely hidden. I suddenly feel that the mood at the time of the rainbow must be It is similar to what I saw at this time; she has a friend named Yile, and she has even fallen in love with him, but she has never seen what Yile looks like, and Yile hides behind the thick fog middle! I stretched myself, hoping that at eight o'clock in the morning, after the plane arrived, the dense fog would dissipate and we could all see Yile.
