Yang Jingxing opened the door and let Tao Meng sit down on the passenger seat. He closed the door lightly, got in the car and looked at Tao Meng: "Let's discuss it."

"Say." Tao Meng held the bag on her chest with both hands.

Yang Jingxing said: "Generally speaking, for a man and a woman to develop a relationship, they must first meet. Our meeting will be September 4, 2004, right?"

Tao Meng recalled: "It was those days anyway."

Yang Jingxing said: "It should be the 4th, Saturday. That day you were wearing a red skirt. You were not as tall as you are now, your hair was shorter than now, and your figure was not as good as now."

Tao Meng retaliated: "You are not as tall as you are now."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "That day I found out that this beautiful girl is named Tao Meng. She likes painting and music..."

Tao Meng was unhappy: "Tone your tone more normally!"

Yang Jingxing said: "But your face was a little fatter back then than it is now."

Tao Meng protested: "That's not fat. You don't even understand baby fat?!"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's very cute anyway, so let's meet."

Tao Meng asked: "What then?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Then you became the representative of the English department. The first time you called my name was when you were collecting homework. I gave you the homework book, and we got to know each other."

Tao Meng could also remember: "At that time, you were sitting in the back, just like Shao Lei."

Yang Jingxing was sensitive: "Do you remember him or me?"

Tao Meng smiled: "Stingy, I just remember that you two are the tallest."

Yang Jingxing stopped pursuing it and continued: "In the first week of music class, Teacher Hu asked the students to perform voluntarily, and you played "Let's Swing the Oars."

Tao Meng was dissatisfied: "You have already said this."

Yang Jingxing said: "This is the key point. I was very unhappy at that time and didn't want to study in Shangpu at all. After listening to you playing the piano, my thoughts became a little complicated."

Tao Meng leaned forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yang Jingxing said: "At that time, I really realized that I had entered a school... It was very contradictory. On the one hand, I felt that we were all students and there was not that big distance between us. On the other hand, I felt a little inferior and felt that there was a distance between us.

Bigger.”

Tao Meng laughed, but quickly restrained herself and said seriously: "There is nothing to be ashamed of."

Yang Jingxing said: "I have never had low self-esteem since I was a child. That was the first time, and it was also the first time I felt that a girl was so beautiful."

"So?" Tao Meng got into trouble.

Yang Jingxing laughed: "That's why I didn't applaud you at that time."

Tao Meng immediately changed her expression: "Why!?"

Yang Jingxing is still angry when he thinks about it now: "Because I think you are showing off."

"How can I not!" Tao Meng, who was wrongly accused, had a bitter look on her face.

Yang Jingxing said quickly: "This is a misunderstanding, but I don't hate you because you have the capital to show off."

Tao Meng said: "I'm not the only one playing..."

Yang Jingxing said: "But only your song moved me, and I remember it the most."

"Then you still think I'm showing off!" Tao Meng felt aggrieved.

"So I'm very conflicted." Yang Jingxing adjusted the direction of the air conditioner and continued: "At this time, my understanding has deepened."

"But it's wrong!" Tao Meng was anxious.

Yang Jingxing said: "The mistakes are only a small part. Overall, my first impression of you is still very good."

Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing: "My first impression of you at that time was your appearance, and then I felt that you might love studying and not be enthusiastic about your classmates."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "You are correct. Although we didn't exchange a few words throughout the first year of high school, I gradually discovered that you are not a girl who likes to show off. You are enthusiastic about your classmates, serious about work, and serious about study.

"

Tao Meng asked: "What about you and Ren Chuyu?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Good-looking...that's all?"

Tao Meng asked again: "Where is Jiang Qing?"

Yang Jingxing said: "She is also good-looking, and she likes to jump around in the classroom and make loud noises. It's so annoying!"

Tao Meng said: "She was like that in junior high school."

Yang Jingxing continued to recall: "When I came home during the winter vacation, they asked me if I knew a girl. I said no, but I thought of you."

Tao Meng thought for a moment: "You and Ren Chuyu didn't have anything at that time."

Yang Jingxing explained: "But this means that I want to get to know you better. You will meet all kinds of people in life, but there are very few people you want to get to know seriously."

Tao Meng was suspicious: "But nothing happened to you afterwards."

Yang Jingxing said: "No chance, just like if you see a very handsome boy on the street, you won't take the initiative to talk to him."

Tao Meng said anxiously: "I don't want to know you at all...I don't like your appearance!"

Yang Jingxing laughed: "I'm just making an analogy. It's like a pyramid. At the bottom are everyone I know. There are many, many. But on the next level, maybe only half of them can be said to have a basic understanding."

Tao Meng nodded in agreement.

Yang Jingxing continued: "But it's just a basic understanding. Most of the classmates are like this. They know each other's academic performance, any friends and so on. They meet and say hello. Then the next level up is ordinary people who have more contact with each other.

Friends, like me and Cao Linglan."

Tao Meng judged for a while and then nodded: "You can be considered ordinary friends."

Yang Jingxing said: "Now we have a little more information. We know each other's general personalities, hobbies, family environment, etc."

Tao Meng agreed: "Yes."

Yang Jingxing said: "The next step is to have more contact with friends, talk to each other no matter what happens, and occasionally know each other's joys and sorrows, such as Ren Chuyu and I at that time."

Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing: "That's probably how you treat him."

Yang Jingxing said: "The next step is to become closer friends. They can truly be considered friends. They understand each other better and there is no politeness between them, just like you who were sitting at the same table in the third year of high school."

Tao Meng asked: "When is the senior year of high school?"

Yang Jingxing said: "In the first half of last semester, we would help each other. Sometimes you would hate me and wouldn't allow me to write... Being able to tell the other person directly what not to do, I think is a big improvement in the relationship between friends.

"

Tao Meng nodded: "I wouldn't say that to other students."

Yang Jingxing was proud: "There are relatively few such friends, and they have a certain status in each other's minds. Especially friends of the opposite sex. I think we can call them good feelings."

Tao Meng asked: "When did you have a crush on me?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I obviously felt that I had a lot of fun that night when I sat at the same table with you. This also shows that I have wanted to sit at the same table with you for a long time... In fact, I would also be happy to sit at the same table with you when I first entered the school.

.”

Tao Meng understood: "But these two are different..."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Yes, when I first entered the school, I just wanted to have a beautiful deskmate. In my senior year of high school, I just wanted to have a cute deskmate."

Tao Meng smiled, twisted her body and looked at Yang Jingxing: "What next?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Although we are friends of the opposite sex, friendship still dominates at this time. As friends, we hope that the other person will be happier, have better academic performance, and get into a good university... In short, we hope that each other will live happily."

"Then what?" Tao Meng moved the bag that was in the way to the other side.

Yang Jingxing said: "Then we will communicate more and more with each other and spend more and more time together. Suddenly one day, one person will want to work hard to make the other person happy, or to be happy with her.

, I think this is love."

"So fast." Tao Meng was a little dissatisfied and asked, "When?"

Yang Jingxing said, "I don't know either, that's it anyway."

Tao Meng thought for a while and then said: "Then I won't ask anymore, but there are still questions."

Yang Jingxing stood ready: "Ask me."

Tao Meng tilted her head to look into Yang Jingxing's eyes and asked, "How do you treat Yu Xinting?"

Yang Jingxing said: "As a good friend, I hope her piano skills can be improved to a higher level, she can have a good boyfriend and be happy."

Tao Meng was dissatisfied: "It's so high!"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's not high at all. It's still far, far away from your level."

Tao Meng asked again: "Where is Du Ling?"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's almost the same, as well as Lu Lin and the others. I hope these friends will live happily in the future."

Tao Meng thought for a while and suddenly became serious: "I still have a question I've been wanting to ask. Don't be angry."

Yang Jingxing said: "I promise you."

Tao Meng sat upright and thought for a while before speaking: "It was when you were in junior high school."
