Listening to the records of his favorite bands, watching his favorite animes, learning about his favorite sports, even wearing clothes in his favorite colors, leaving his haircuts that he accidentally said, and buying snacks that he also likes, all at that age What you can do, thinking about it now, is incredible.
I once got up early, rode a bicycle for an hour, and waited in a hidden small intersection near his home to watch him turn out of the buildings by bicycle. I always want to ride a bike to catch up and say hello, saying, what a coincidence. I waited many, many times, in order not to miss it, each time was long in advance. There were many, many shivering mornings. I couldn’t even count them. Sometimes I would wait to be late with him. But, in fact, I have never caught up and said, what a coincidence.
After graduating from junior high school, we went to different high schools. One day I cycled to his school to find him. His high school is really far away. At that time, we did not have mobile phones. I only said in a letter a week ago that we will not have classes in the afternoon for our school sports meeting next Friday. I will go to you. But I know I can wait for him at the school gate, because no one is better at searching for him in the crowd than me. That day, we walked from his school to the intersection where we had to fork. We walked for more than 2 hours, although we can't remember what we talked about.
Think about it, although it is already the 21st century, we were still communicating at that time. When I was in the first year of high school, I would write to him every week. It was really embarrassing to still write bad words at that time. At that time, I was thinking that I would practice the calligraphy well, and one day, with a beautiful handwriting, write a love letter to the boy I like, but after him, I never wrote a letter to the boy I like.
Later things were very dramatic. When the first year of high school was about to end, the person who confessed first was him, and the person who refused was me. Maybe I hope that we don’t get together so early. We can wait a while and be more confident. Faced with feelings, or the emotions of the little girl, I hope he is the one who can do more for me.
Just like Ke Jingteng.
Although Ke Jingteng seems to be naive, whether it is a fighting game to show himself strong, a small vow about growing three centimeters tall, or a wish to wait for the perfect time to confess (the last two novels are in the original novel), all make me Moving content.
In the novel, Ke Jingteng, who missed his confession without waiting for the sunrise in Alishan, thought, "The way of confession is only appearance. Maybe the result of the confession will not change because of this. However, "how to let the other party know what you want in the surprise" is also It's not a stupid trick, but it should be extra precious." So he hopes that there will be such a sure and perfect moment, so that every time that girl thinks about it, he will be an unforgettable moment. He can work harder, wait a little longer, and wait for that moment. arrival.
In my opinion, this is not only not naive, but very beautiful. This is really an era when everyone is very fast. I hope to catch up with the girl I like as soon as possible, I hope to have sex with the girl as soon as possible, and I hope my boyfriend can earn a house as soon as possible. I no longer do things like passing notes, writing letters, reading books together after school, or waiting at the intersection of his house.
This is what touched me the most about those years, "please let me continue to like you", please let me do more for you, please let me become someone more worthy of you, please wait until I finally have When you are sure, have the courage, and dare to confess to you, when you see other boys, think of me and still shine because of you.
Speaking of it, I was in a city with his university, and one weekend I went to find him and play with his friends. I forgot what the game is, but there is always a truth or dare link. The two people who lost were asked to kiss through the playing cards. He said loudly, okay, I took the playing cards and placed them gently on my lips. Come on, then kiss me, I look at him with my eyes wide open, my heart is about to jump out. That was our only close encounter. Yes, I haven't even pulled my hand, but it belongs to my most beautiful and slowest relationship, and it has the most perfect ending.
He may never know these things, but they are not important.
The moving of "Those Years" is not because of these missed and uncontrollable youth regrets, but because it seems that it is difficult for us to slow down anymore, and we will no longer do a simple thing for a person we like, such as Waiting, such as combing a hairstyle that he has praised as good-looking and pretending to walk by inadvertently, such as holding an IC card on the side of the road for a long time, making a phone call and saying something insignificant, such as listening to his favorite record in order to have more Common topics, such as trying to do something that you may not really like, such as becoming a better and more distinctive person... This is not simply "change yourself for the sake of feelings", but a commendable slow mind. The feeling of wanting to move forward together is sour and warm.
So another thing that impressed me in "Those Years" is "Thank you for loving me so much" and "I also like it very much. I like you myself". There is no obsession, no sadness, but sincere gratitude to Shen Jiayi for the role he played in his life, and vice versa. Because of mutual understanding and trust, we always have a sincere feelings. I am the same. I am grateful that they have allowed me to have such a slow and long throbbing of youth, and to live so actively and earnestly, so that my life shines.
More of us, like Ke Jingteng, will not have the opportunity to buy the most expensive dream, create a time machine for boys and girls to meet again, and will not let people who have left traces on their growth path know that they have been for him. The little so-called dedication that I made, and the little changes I got.
However, probably Ke Jingteng has grown up and he no longer needs to rely on other people's power to become stronger and be a better version of himself.
Me too.
