C19 Ginkgo Leaves

Chen Yang recalled that summer.

At that time, he was still in his second year of junior high school. His father had to manage the company every day, and it was difficult to meet him. His mother was also busy with her own art career and had no time to take care of him.

However, that person of his age was currently in a rebellious period. Without the discipline of his parents, it might be a good thing for Chen Yang.

The girl's name was Xia Qing, just like her name suggested. Xia Qing was mature at that age. Although she was not beautiful and moving, her features were delicate and pretty. Although she did not have a strong appearance, it made people feel very comfortable. Her character was as tranquil as water, and she would never place herself in the spotlight of the crowd.

However, after the teacher assigned her to be Chen Yang's deskmate, even if Xia Qing tried her best to keep a low profile, she was still placed under the spotlight. Where Chen Yang was, there would always be a group of crazy girls, and it was hard not to attract attention.

Chen Yang still remembered that when he walked to the girl's side, she raised her hand and drew a thin line in the middle of the table, telling Chen Yang not to cross the line and not to talk to him. Chen Yang scoffed at her behavior. As long as she didn't provoke him, it would be fine. Chen Yang would not consider Xia Qing as an ordinary girl even if he played with her.

It could be said that Chen Yang was not interested in girls like Xia Qing.

But the word 'relationship' would never be fixed because of a person's will. No matter how much Chen Yang despised Xia Qing at the beginning, over time, he was still attracted by this girl who always put himself outside of everything and would never be interested in anything else.

Xia Qing. Xia Qing had a special characteristic that Chen Yang did not have. It was best to use it on her without feeling happy or sad. Every time Chen Yang looked at her, he felt that Xia Qing was so far away from him. They were obviously deskmates, but they could not say a word for a few months.

In the afternoon after school, Chen Yang accidentally saw Xia Qing sitting alone under the ginkgo tree to eat. A gentle breeze blew past and the swaying gingko on the tree fell down slowly. A few pieces fell on Xia Qing's body. Xia Qing just quietly looked at the gingko on her shoulder and just kept looking at it.

Until the wind blew again, the gingko on Xia Jing's shoulder fell to the ground with the wind. After a long time, she looked at the leaves on the ground and smiled. The smile that was forever engraved on the summer afternoon was as warm as the first ray of sunlight in the morning. It was also as light as the clouds in the blue sky.

This was the first time Chen Yang had seen Xia Qing's gentle eyes and sincere smile. Although Xia Qing usually looked gentle and did not know how to fight for it and treated everyone the same way, Chen Yang still felt that her appearance was a little strange.

Now he finally knew what that strange feeling was. It was a look, and it contained feelings. Xia Qing usually had that kind of gentle expression as if she had rehearsed it many times. It was hypocritical and did not carry any feelings. Her attitude towards everyone was the same. Actually, it also meant that no one was important.

Chen Yang looked at Xia Qing's current gentle expression, as if she was about to spill water. He really did not understand why she could show such genuine feelings towards a lifeless leaf, but when she faced him, she only had that fake expression.

Maybe that afternoon was the beginning of Chen Yang liking Xia Qing, or maybe he just saw his shadow through Xia Qing. He was so hypocritical and heartless.

Chen Yang also did not quite understand. The two of them clearly did not even talk properly a few times. After Chen Yang confessed, Xia Qing did not hesitate to agree to him. At that time, Xia Qing looked at him in the eyes. In a trance, it actually looked like the way she looked at the gingko. But it only lasted for a short second. After that, Xia Qing returned to her calm appearance.

Between them, they did all the things that couples of that age should do.

Chen Yang still remembered the scene of him kissing Xia Qing for the first time under the ginkgo tree. It was the same breeze as the other day. The same leaves fell. When it landed on their shoulders, Xia Qing looked at the leaves on their shoulders. Chen Yang pulled her face over and suddenly kissed her. There was no paving words of love, nor was there any expression of emotion. Just like a routine, Chen Yang only made the gesture of kissing. That was all.

After the kiss, Chen Yang let go of Xia Qing. She placed the leaf on her shoulder on Chen Yang's palm and smiled. "Chen Yang, I like you. "

That was the first time Xia Qing said that she liked him. When Chen Yang said some mushy things to her in the past, she would always smile and say that she was very happy. She had never responded to Chen Yang.

The first time, this was the first time that Xia Qing took the initiative to say - I like you, Chen Yang.

The world quieted down and the surroundings gradually became blurry. Only the corner of the mouth of the girl in front of him was left. Her curvy eyes and that sentence about me liking you, Chen Yang.

At that moment, Chen Yang made a decision that gave him a scare.

He wanted to be with this girl forever, to see her smile so gently, to see her only revealing her true feelings to him, to hear her say to him - I like you.

"Speaking of which, she's really beautiful. " Lin Lo had already walked to the front of the painting and carefully looked at every detail.

Chen Yang's thoughts were pulled back by Lin Lo's words. He also began to carefully look at the painting. He suddenly realized that although this painting had been placed here for so long, he had never looked at it properly, just like he had never looked at Xia Qing.

He suddenly realized that perhaps he had never truly understood Xia Qing, or perhaps he had never properly conveyed his feelings to Xia Qing.

After Xia Qing left, he was depressed for a long time. He became more and more angry and sealed his heart. He suddenly realized that disguising was such an interesting thing. No wonder Xia Qing wanted to disguise herself as a gentle and calm appearance and maintain an appropriate distance from everyone. Because if they didn't come into contact with each other, they wouldn't be disappointed, right?

"You and her are a bit similar!" Lin Lo seemed to be surprised by her discovery and hurriedly ran to Chen Yang to carefully observe him.

Chen Yang was shocked by Lin Lo's sudden movement and calmed himself down. He also looked back at her.

Looking at Lin Lo in front of him, a strange feeling rose in Chen Yang's heart. This was a feeling he had never felt before.

It trembled slightly, as if something had taken root and germinated in his heart. It also hurt slightly, as if a long and thin needle had pierced his body.

"Chen Yang, you really look like the girl in the painting!" Lin Lo raised the corner of her mouth high, and a proud smile hung on her face.

Chen Yang looked at Lin Lo, who was laughing wildly in front of him and did not hide her thoughts at all. He unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth and gave a faint smile.
