Perfect Life

"Mom, I'm back!"

As usual, Wang Jinglu entered the door, put down the key, changed his slippers, and walked into the living room.

Wang Jinglu's mother was busy with dinner in the kitchen. Hearing this, she looked out with her probe and said, "You're back? Wait a minute, dinner will be ready in a while!"

Wang Jinglu agreed, put the satchel on the coffee table in the living room, hopped into the kitchen, leaned on her mother's shoulder, and said, "Mom, I'm hungry... What's there to eat today."

Mom gave her a doting look, "I know you're hungry, it's almost time! If your dad doesn't come back today, it's just us, but Mom steamed your favorite meatballs..."

"Wow!" Wang Jing showed a greedy look on his face.

At this time, her mother pushed her and said, "Okay, okay, go out, watch TV, or practice the piano, just wait a while, don't make trouble for your mother here!"

"Oh!" With a sound, Wang Jinglu withdrew from the kitchen.

Still jumping, she took her satchel to the bedroom, then came back and sat in front of the piano, ready to practice for a while.

Opened the lid of the piano, his fingers fell lightly, and a brisk melody slowly flowed out.

To say that she learned this when she was a child, she really let her sister take her into this door under the circumstances of necessity, but later, she gradually fell in love with the feeling of letting the notes flow at her fingertips.

Those joyful, sad, bright and holy notes can make her completely forget everything around her, let her completely immerse in them, and get the purest happiness that music can give!

Of course...not today.

Yesterday, today, tomorrow, and perhaps many days in the future, she couldn't hold anything else in her heart at all. The only thing that flashed in her heart was the day he and she passed together.

Do you love it? Is it love?

she does not know.

Maybe, maybe not.

She only knew that on the day she was with him, she was very happy.

Even though they just watched a few movies that seemed boring to her that day.

I still remember when I was a child, because the two families lived opposite the door, there was always some movement. Maybe the relationship between the two families might not be very close, but the children didn't know that. The little boy and the little girl of the same age knew each other, and then they played hide and seek together. , watch cartoons together, go crazy together, run together, he makes fun of himself to cry, he makes himself laugh...

The adults must think that the children themselves will not remember those scenes in a few years, but she knows that she has always remembered them. They are all quietly in the bottom of her heart and will not move, but as long as she thinks about it, Those pictures will still be as fresh as yesterday.

But later, when the little boy and the little girl have grown up and are going to go to school, their parents will teach you: You are a girl, you have to be good, be honest, and don’t always play with boys, especially us The kid across the door, you look like he is crazy every day, dirty, if you always play with him, parents, sisters, teachers and classmates will not like you anymore. Do you understand?

She knows it, she knows it all. Although she is not as sensible as her sister, she also started to be sensible at a very young age. She knows that her parents are really reluctant to let her continue to play with that little boy.

So unconsciously, they began to gradually distance themselves.

Of course, just distance.

Everyone lives in the opposite door, is the same age, and has the same school. It's hard not to meet each other. Moreover, everyone has known each other for a long time. It seems that they have been living in each other's lives since the beginning of time. Even if they usually don't speak, they don't even say hello when they meet each other, but they smile and look at each other. , but enough to keep the indescribable familiarity in each other's hearts.

It seems that as long as someone takes the initiative to hook their fingers first, everyone will immediately return to that crazy childhood.

Then, the two went to the same elementary school, the same middle school, and the same high school.

It should be... After the high school entrance examination, I remember that the weather was gloomy and gloomy that day. It seemed like it was going to rain but I couldn't hold back. The weather was very hot and stuffy. He came back from basketball, holding the ball in his arms, dripping with sweat. She came back on a bicycle, and she happened to go to Daming Lake with a few classmates for a day to go home. Everyone almost rode their bikes into the community, and then came to the front of the corridor. He locked the car, and she locked the car. He went upstairs and she went upstairs.

He is in front, she is behind.

She seemed to be able to smell the strong smell of sweat coming from him.

He suddenly said, "Where are you going to study in high school?"

"Thirteen Middle School, my dad said it," she said.

He said "um" and said nothing. After a while, she asked, "How about you?"

"I'm also in the thirteenth middle school, and my dad said it too." He replied.

She said "oh".

This time it was him who said, "We haven't played together for a long time, haven't we?"

She nodded first, remembering that she was standing behind him, and he couldn't see when she nodded, so she gave a low "um".

Then, they arrived at the door of each other's house.

The third floor is really too short.

However, when they really arrived at the door of the house, the two of them stopped at the same time.

He turned around, and she turned around, briefly looking at each other, and she quickly turned her eyes away.

At this time, he said: "It's really hot. It is said that it is 35 degrees today. I don't think it's cool under the fan, but it's not as cool as the roof. As long as there is wind, it will be very cool."

She said "oh".

He stopped talking, and neither did she.

The two stood still for a while, and he was the one who spoke first, "Then, I'll go home first."

She nodded, "Well, I'm going home too, bye."

"Goodbye," he said.

Then, after about twenty minutes, he went up to the rooftop.

After another ten minutes, she also went up to the rooftop.

It's very strange between them, there doesn't seem to be too many topics to talk about, so everyone is silent. Occasionally, when he tried to bring up a topic, it was often he who said a few words, and she said "um" or "oh".

It was really hot that day, and there was no wind on the roof.

But it turns out that he didn't lie.

There is only wind on the roof, which is indeed much cooler and more comfortable than a fan.

Of course, after the strong wind, there will be lightning and thunder, and it will be pouring rain.

The two first spread their arms against the wind, showing wanton smiles one after another, and then hid in the corridor in a panic.

However, from that day on, they became more and more tacit.

Or in other words, to restore that tacit understanding.

Every once in a while, the two of them would go to the top of the building for a while, sometimes he went, she didn't go, sometimes he didn't go, she went, but it didn't matter, even if the two were there at the same time, they wouldn't talk too much , It seems that all the words have been said and said in the crazy running and laughing in the years when they were young, and they no longer need to say any more.

So, you just need to lie on the protective wall and blow the wind quietly for a while, that's fine.

Then, when everyone has a mobile phone, it will be more convenient.

He wanted to see her, so he texted her.

She wanted to see him, so she also sent text messages.

His text messages are very simple, often just two words: the roof.

Her text messages are simpler, just one space.

At that time, they would occasionally chat a few times, but never talk about school, study, etc. He would talk about how good a martial arts novel he read recently, and she would say that I bought a dress today, okay Beautiful, beautiful, I love it so much.

Then he said, "Okay, go to school tomorrow and show me your clothes. I'll show you the novel."

She said yes.

Then the topic expanded.

His parents, as well as her parents, and sister.

Later, there was her little mother.

After that, the young couple who just got married on the fifth floor on the opposite side would quarrel and fight, the old lady on the first floor raised the dog named Bei Bei, and so on... Her sister finally released an album, although it was with Together with the other four girls, these boy teachers like to stare at Teacher Qi... and so on.

Of course, most of the time, it is still silent.

There were even many times when he or she came up first, and then the other one came up too.

They didn't say hello to each other, they didn't say hello to each other, they each leaned on the protective wall and stared into a daze in the distance, and no one said a word.

Maybe ten minutes, maybe twenty minutes, maybe thirty minutes, when one of them suddenly came back to his senses, he would say, "I'm going to go down first, I'm going to bed early today", or "I'm leaving and waiting for you." My mom will find me later" or something, and when the other nods, this one goes downstairs first.

There was no communication from beginning to end.

But the two of them just found it very comfortable, so they never tire of it.

She didn't know if he would think of other things, such as... After the two of them, she thought he should have thought about it too, because she knew that she had thought about it.

But the two never spoke.

Obviously very familiar, but very unfamiliar.

Until... that day.

She didn't know if she was stimulated or what. Her elder sister insisted that she go to Beijing to study for her third year of high school. Her parents obviously deliberately matched herself with that Zhao Yumin, etc. Anyway, she suddenly felt a little panic.

So she thought: I can't go on like this anymore.

Thinking about it, the future is already close at hand!

So, she said: You can't leave it alone!

So, for the first time, he said she wanted to go to the movies, and she had to go too.

For the first time, they each listened to the same sound from the same Walkman with one earphone each.

For the first time, they sat side by side in a movie theater, watching the same scene from the same movie on the screen.

For the first time, no, it should be said that the first time after resuming communication, they actually talked so much in one day, and they actually stayed together for a whole day!

No love, no love, no kissing, or even... no holding hands.

Several times, she deliberately swung her arms away from her body, and while looking forward to the moment of body temperature after the two hands collided, she forced herself to suppress the violent beating in her heart.

It was a feeling that made one almost suffocate.

Sometimes, it was her hand that touched his.

Sometimes, it was his hand that touched hers.

She didn't know if he meant it, but she knew for sure that she was.

No one said anything, and no one even showed anything, but it was... so happy.

In the movie theater, she hugged the popcorn bucket he bought, occasionally stuffed a handful into her mouth, and then touched him with her arm, and he also reached out and grabbed a few and stuffed it into his mouth.

His eyes were always fixed on the screen, his eyes were bright and sharp, and his eyebrows were slightly raised, as if he was thinking about some serious and important issue.

She just watched the movie for a while, and watched him for a while.

After she came back, she even thought that if nothing else bothered her, that day alone would be enough for her to reminisce for a long time. —Perhaps it should be the same for him?

Thinking of these, a sweet smile appeared on her face again.

……

In the kitchen, Wang Jinglu's mother listened to the sound of the piano in the living room, which was completely messy and outrageous. Although she was very busy, she couldn't help but turn around and look here.

Then, seeing the sweet smile from the heart on her daughter's face, she suddenly remembered when she first met their sisters' father. Then, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Xiao Lu, ready to eat!" she shouted.
