Chapter 1 Reunion

Thursday September [-]th sunny

Today it's our second group's turn to clean up.

It's been almost a month since junior high school started, and I haven't met all the classmates in the class yet.I am not very good at dealing with people, so I am always in a state of fear when interacting with people, and I dare not take the first step.

The deskmate is a very quiet girl with big eyes and fair looks.I was actually a little nervous sitting next to her.Originally, I was not very good at communicating with people, let alone the other party was a girl.It was a bit late to report to the school at that time, and when we arrived, everyone basically formed a team and sat down.I couldn't find any seats, so I had to sit down in the second row by the aisle. There seemed to be someone beside me, and there was a schoolbag in the drawer.Later, someone sat down next to me, and I realized that the other party was a girl.

When the class introduced itself, I knew her name, Dai Chun.

Speaking of self-introduction, I am actually a little reluctant. I don't know what else I can say except my name.I typed the drafts below for a long time, but the moment I came on stage, I saw a group of unknown people below, my mind went blank, and I forgot everything else, only remembering a name.After saying what my name was, the teacher thought I had something to say, and waited patiently for a while before realizing that I had finished speaking, so he smiled at me and took the lead in applauding.I returned to my seat in despair, feeling that I was quite worthless.

Our class is a group of ten people in a row.Every time there is cleaning, in addition to the classrooms, there are also public areas on the playground that need to be cleaned, and there are five people in each of the two areas.Last time I cleaned the public area, today it's my turn to clean the classroom.After sweeping the floor, I took the mop and soaked it in the sink.Our teaching building is newly built, and some places are not perfect, so there is currently a common pool for every two floors, and the pool is near the office.

When I passed the office, I glanced at it. There was no one there. I guess the teachers had gone to eat.I have to go to evening self-study in a while, so I have to quickly sweep the floor and go to eat.After going back and forth several times, I finally mopped the floor clean.Some students have already eaten and returned to the classroom, chatting or playing.I washed the mop and was about to go back to the classroom. When I passed the corridor, I happened to meet someone from upstairs who came down to use the sink.After walking a few steps, he was called.

"Wu Zi?"

I hadn't met him, but he called me by my name, and I thought it was someone I knew before.

I turned around hesitantly, then looked at him suspiciously, and he looked at me with a smile.

"It's really you, long time no see." The tone sounded pleasantly surprised and familiar.

I tried my best to recall, there was a vague shadow, and I called him uncertainly: "Ye Aichen?"

He complied.

It seemed to be him.

Ye Aichen was my classmate in elementary school before I transferred to another school. We have a good relationship and often play together.I remember that there was a boy who was often with us at that time, but I can't remember the name, I only remember the surname Chen.Ye Aichen was quite a cheerful person. At that time, many people in the class had a good time with him.I still remember that once in an English class, he quietly made faces below, which made the people around him laugh non-stop.But fortunately, the teacher didn't pay much attention, otherwise he would definitely give him a bad meal.Later, when I was in the fourth grade, my family arranged for me to transfer schools, and we didn't have much contact with each other after that.

He asked me which class I was in, and said he was in class seven, and he could go to play with him in the future.He also said some other things, and he seemed very happy.

Actually, I'm a little overwhelmed.I haven't seen him for a long time. I don't know what to say to him. I always feel that it is inappropriate to say anything, and I feel very embarrassed.So, when he said he was going to wash the mop, I took the opportunity to say goodbye, went back to the classroom to put the mop away, and then went back to eat.

I'm actually quite happy to see him again.He was my best friend in elementary school. We used to go to the cafeteria to order food together, and then sat on the ping-pong table behind the teaching building to eat.Behind the elementary school teaching building before the transfer, there are decades of tall trees with dense leaves, so it is cool to stay under them.We just stayed there and ate and chatted.Sometimes there is still time after meals to play games on the steps next to it.We go home together after school, his house is in front of mine, and most mornings he'll be waiting at my door for me to go to school with.Sometimes I would pick some of the flowers planted in front of my house and let him take them home.I still remember that the first time I ate mango in my life was given to me.One day between classes, he called me over, took a yellow oval-shaped thing from the drawer, and told me that it was bought for them by his father's third aunt, and he took one out and planned to share it with me. eat.I asked him what it was and he said mango.The two of us didn't know how to eat it, so we thought about cutting it in the middle with a knife, half of each person.When the knife cut almost halfway down, it stopped moving, and we realized that there was a core in this thing.So we had to cut down from the other side, and then forcibly cut the core into two pieces, and he and I held half of the mango and gnawed there.The mango was nearly rotten by us, and I didn't eat much flesh, but I thought it was delicious.When I was about to leave when I transferred to another school, many students in the class told me not to leave. I saw my class teacher's eyes were red.Ye Aichen took me by the hand and told me to stay and not transfer schools.I actually don't really think about it, but my family has already contacted the school, so I can't help it.I said no, and he didn't say anything after that, he followed me all the time, sent me to the school gate, waved to me, and said goodbye.

Seeing him today, thinking of these things, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.Later, when I was alone in the new school, I always thought of how much fun everyone had before I transferred to another school. There were not many people in the class, but it felt like home.There are many people in the new class, and the classroom is full, but I feel that no matter how long I get along with them, no matter how good they are, I am only one person.

During the first period of time, I often wrote letters to Ye Aichen, and I would give him any interesting things along with the letter.I asked my cousin who was in the same school as him to bring it to him, but except for the first few replies, there was no news after that.I don't know what happened to him, and I don't know if he received those things.I asked my cousin, and he always said yes, but there was no follow-up.I often wonder if he forgot me, didn't remember me, and didn't care about me, so he stopped contacting me.

But when I saw him today, he was not what I thought he was.

Anyway, I was really happy to meet him.
