After nearly three years of college life, Jerry still hasn't taken off his list.
Watching his roommates talk about love, and some even change their girlfriends several times, Jerry feels more and more lonely and inferior.
He realized that no matter whether he looked or studied, there was nothing inferior to them, so why was no one chasing him? Perhaps he did not understand that it is the privilege of women to wait for rabbits, and it is only by taking the initiative to capture women's hearts. Obviously, Jerry is not an active person.
Although few people ridiculed him for being single, they showed their love in front of him, which was also a kind of harm invisibly.
He still heard some people secretly orchestrate themselves, saying everything, such as "Is this boy bent?" "Isn't that the boy's side okay?" Words like this made Jerry suffer and make him more and more unable to lift his head.
Jerry knows that he is physically ill and is a normal man, but the reality of being single has made him insultingly questioned, and the only way to break this doubt is to quickly take off the list.
It has been three years since I was single, and it is not easy to get rid of the order quickly.
Jerry was anxious, someone more anxious than him, and this was his nemesis, Hodak.
Hodak's girlfriend has changed four stubbles, and each time he dumps others, in his words: "This is called survival of the fittest" and "clothes are not as old as old, people are not as good as new".
Jerry looks at this friend who is not as good as his own appearance and studies, and can change his girlfriend happily, while he can only hold his own hand, Jerry only has pain in his heart.
Hodak really cares about Jerry, and the most he asks every time they meet is: "Are you in love today?" ”
Jerry's already unpeaceful life is stirred up by Hodak, making him eager to get rid of his single days and prove that he is also a normal man.
Jerry's belief in love is: "I'd rather eat a bite of a fresh peach than a basket of rotten apricots." "It is better to be poor and exquisite than to be poor."
The set standard is too high, coupled with his own shyness, is Jerry's reason for being single.
In fact, Jerry has a favorite object, she is the female classmate sitting in front of him - Xiaoyu.
Xiao Yu existed as a goddess, and the people who wanted to chase her lined up from the classroom door to the school door, and the love letters written to her were piled up into a thick dozen, and Xiao Yu did not look at her eyes, and packed them up and handed them to the director of the Academic Affairs Office. The only thing waiting for the "lovers" was the ruthless reprimand of the director of the Academic Affairs Office. Those who have suffered hardships no longer have illusions about the light rain, and they have retreated from the difficulties.
Although Jerry is close to the water tower, he does not even have the courage to write love letters to Xiaoyu, and he is afraid of being treated like his predecessors. Although it was only wishful thinking, his feelings for Xiaoyu were growing day by day.
Some people are called noble and cold and unattainable; some people are called "man is curved" and "physically disabled" alone. Jerry gave up the whole forest for a big tree, and still lived in the strange eyes of others, in the long questioning.
One night in the middle of summer, Hodak and Jerry were having a barbecue and beer at a roadside stall.
When he was drunk, Hodak asked, "Jerry, you are alone, don't you want a woman?" ”
Jerry took a sip of wine and said, "I don't want to, but I can't get what I want." ”
Hodak laughed and said, "I always hear people say that you are curved, and I almost believed it." I didn't expect that you also have a favorite woman, and those people will chew their wives' tongues and talk nonsense. Tell me who the woman you're looking for? I'll help you go after her. ”
Jerry looked confused and said, "You can't help me, there are so many people pursuing her, how can it be my turn." ”
Hodak tapped Jerry on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Don't be discouraged, you tell me her name, and I'll help you catch her." ”
Jerry looked at Hodak gratefully, but felt helpless again, and said dejectedly, "You can't help me, I like the light rain." ”
The wine that Hodak was about to swallow directly spewed out, laughing: "Jerry, your heart is big enough, and you actually remember the school flowers." It's not buddy who hits you, you really don't play. First love people do not understand love, you do not have to set such a high starting point for yourself, how about changing people, buddy must help you take it. ”
Jerry took a sip of wine and said, "Old Huo, you don't know me, I only chase the best, not the good ones." ”
Hodak poured Jerry a glass of wine and advised, "Jerry, in your case, those who are good at chasing may not be able to catch up, so why chase the best?" ”
Jerry grabbed Hodak by the collar and said angrily, "I'm inferior to you, you're making fun of me like this." ”
Hodak took Jerry's hand away and smiled, "Dude, don't be angry! The words are not good, but they are facts. You are like me, in terms of looks, on achievements, indeed inferior to you. But there is one thing, I am better than you, that is, I have a mouth that can speak. ”
Jerry took a big sip of wine, and Mu Mu's no longer spoke.
Hodak didn't speak either, he lit a cigarette and began to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog.
Half-contemplating, Hodak asked Jerry solemnly, "Are you not chasing after the rain?" ”
Jerry let out an "um" in reply.
Hodak spewed out another puff of smoke and said solemnly, "Even so, my old Huo Huo has gone out, and he must help his brother." But the plot is in people, the success is in heaven, if it can't be done, you don't blame me. ”
Jerry glanced gratefully at Hodak, and although he didn't speak, he had already expressed more.
Hodak's experience through long-term love affairs has developed a series of plans for Jerry to pursue women, and the first step of the plan is to create opportunities for the two of them to be alone.
How can you create opportunities to be alone? Jerry didn't know what to do.
Hodak said, "Invite her to dinner!" ”
Jerry said, "There must be a reason to invite people to dinner, right?" Being rejected by others will be very faceless. ”
Hodak said, "The first time you invite someone to dinner, of course they will reject you." But you want her to find no excuse to refuse. ”
The two of them deliberated for half a day, and finally had a preliminary plan to eat about Xiao Yu.
Xiaoyu rented a house outside, and every time after school, she liked to ride her bike back.
One day after school, Xiaoyu found that his bicycle valve heart had been pulled out, looking at the dry tires, it was impossible to ride, and the land for repairing the car was too far, so he could only push away.
Xiao Yu pushed the cart while scolding in his heart: "Which guy who lacks morality did it, ahem!" ”
Jerry had been in front of the cat for a long time, and saw a light rain coming this way, holding a book and coming out of the alley.
Jerry pretended to be reading, lowered his head and crashed into the car pushed by the light rain.
Xiao Yu did not pay much attention, and by the time she found that there was an "obstacle" in front of her, it was already too late, so Jerry and Xiao Yu both fell, although they were not injured, but their clothes were dirty.
Xiao Yu was still annoyed by the fact that he had just been pulled out of the valve, and when he encountered Jerry's barricade, he couldn't help but be angry, and he had the urge to curse.
Before Xiaoyu could make a sound, Jerry first lost his name and apologized: "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry!" I walk without eyes, don't you get angry okay? ”
Jerry softened first, and even the anger of The Little Rain had to be forcibly suppressed, waving his hand: "It doesn't matter!" You pay attention next time. Read the book carefully this time, this time hit the bicycle, next time I am afraid it will not be so lucky. ”
Jerry hurriedly said yes, then pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Hey! Xiao Yu, why don't you ride a bicycle today, but push the bike away? But fortunately, you are pushing, otherwise I would not have been knocked into a third-class first-class cripple by you! ”
Xiao Yu sighed and said, "I don't know who I offended, the valve heart was pulled out, it's really unlucky!" ”
Jerry said busily: "You are so beautiful, and your popularity is so good, how can anyone bear to persecute you?" Eighty percent of the time some female classmates are jealous of your good looks, or you reject too many people, they will retaliate against you. ”
Xiao Yu listened to Jerry's words, and the resentment that was blocked in his heart dissipated a lot. Thinking about it, the so-called "Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng", who makes me too good myself, I have done some desperate feelings for those who pursue her before, and it is understandable to be retaliated against.
Jerry smiled and said, "You see, just now because of me, I knocked you down, and I have to do something to make up for the mistakes I made." Well, how about I help you push the car and take you home? ”
Xiao Yu thought: "It's still quite far from the repair point, so it's good to let him push it." So, she unceremoniously handed the car to Jerry.
It was the first time Jerry had been alone with his goddess, unable to speak with excitement.
Xiaoyu has no antipathy to Jerry, because Jerry is okay, not so annoying, but people are more shy, their academic performance is not bad, and they have not joined the team of writing love letters to themselves, there is no non-division of thoughts about themselves, and they are still a very simple person.
It was just that the rumors outside that he liked men, or third-class cripples, but it aroused her interest. She talked to Jerry one by one, trying to verify whether the rumors outside were true, and sure enough, the women were curious animals.
Xiao Yu asked, "Jerry, although we sit at the front and back tables, we usually haven't communicated much, today it is rare for the two to be alone, I can ask, why don't you find a girlfriend?"
Jerry scratched his head and said shyly, "I haven't met the right one, and I can't focus on my studies in college, and falling in love will affect my studies."
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Our understanding of this is the same, so although so many male classmates pursue me, they are all rejected by me, because I am afraid of affecting my studies."
Jerry was anxious when he heard it, thinking that you are not in a hurry to fall in love, I still have a chance, so he laughed: "That being said, you can still get to know each other when you meet the right one."
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Recently I have also thought a lot, in the case of not affecting my studies, if there is a suitable one, I can indeed talk about it, after all, academics are compulsory courses in college, and love is also an elective course." Don't let youth be more confused, don't let youth leave regrets. ”
Jerry chuckled, "Just figure it out."
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "It's often rumored that you like men or have physical defects, is that true?"
Jerry was anxious when he heard it, and he explained busily: "I have been single for a long time, and the gang will make up my nonsense, don't believe me!"
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I'm alone, so why doesn't anyone pass on my nonsense?"
Jerry's face was grim, and he was speechless for a moment.
Xiao Yu quickly broke the siege and said, "I am teasing you, you are still serious."
The two of them giggled and walked all the way, and the conversation was quite cheerful.
When we got to the bike repair point, the mechanic quickly fixed itself.
Xiao Yu took the repaired car and said to Jerry, "The bicycle is also repaired, I am really sorry that you sent me such a long distance, or you can go back first!" ”
Jerry hurriedly said, "You're welcome! As the saying goes: 'Good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west', you are tired after walking for so long, I will take you back! ”
Xiao Yu did not refuse, and sat himself in the back seat, with Jerry riding in front.
Jerry's face was filled with a happy smile, and Xiaoyu was a little shy.
This scene reminds Jerry of the scene in the movie "Sweet Honey".
The two men had their own concerns, but neither of them had a word.
Jerry only hated that the road under his feet was too short, and The light rain began to reluctantly leave that seat, and both of them had inexplicable feelings in their hearts.
Entering the community where Xiaoyu lives, Jerry can only be sent here, and his eyebrows are full of reluctance. Rain took the bike from Jerry's hand and said, "Thank you! ”
Jerry replied absently, "It's okay! ”
The short six words hide too many emotional touches, but they can only be pointed to the end.
Jerry said sadly, "You're home, I should go back." ”
Xiao Yu let out an "Oh" sound, which was an answer.
Jerry turned around, feeling for the first time that the steps he had taken were so heavy.
Jerry had just taken five steps when he was stopped by a light rain: "Wait a minute. ”
Jerry looked back in some surprise and said, "Oh, Little Rain, what's wrong?" ”
Xiao Yu pushed the bicycle, walked to Jerry's side, handed the car to Jerry's hand, and said shyly: "The way back is quite long, you ride your bike back!" But you remember to come and take me to class tomorrow! ”
Jerry was still stunned, overwhelmed by joy, too late to react.
Xiao Yu's face turned pale and he said sarcastically, "If you don't want to, forget it, you can go back!" ”
Jerry reacted hastily, grabbed a bike that had drizzled through the rain, and said, "Yes, i do!"
Since then, we will always see that on the road from Xiaoyu's home to school, there will always be two intimate couples sharing the same bicycle.
"Sweet honey, the sweetness of your laughter, like a flower blooming in the spring wind, blooming in the spring wind." Where, where I saw you, your smile so beautiful, I can't remember for a moment..."
