I met him in the university library before I knew he was a fellow villager. During the final exam of Grade Two, I will go to the East Library of our school to review every day. One day, after waking up at noon, I hurried to the library and took a seat with a book. However, when I arrived at the gate of the library, I found a long queue.
So, I squeezed into the crowd and lined up with everyone. At half past two, the door of the library just opened, and everyone seemed to file in. From time to time, the librarian shouted, "Everyone has to swipe their cards to get in, but they can't get in without swiping their cards."
In this way, it was my turn gradually, but at this moment, a girl in front of me actually found herself forgetting to bring her card. It's her turn soon. If she goes back to the dormitory to get the card and then comes back, there will be no place to review this afternoon. So, in desperation, she turned to me and asked me if I could swipe her card and let her in.
I'm a little hesitant, because it would be bad if the administrator saw it. But I was too embarrassed to refuse others, so I nodded and said that if I was found, I would not be responsible.
We were lucky that day. When it was my turn to swipe my card, the administrator just ran to the bathroom to answer the phone, so I swiped my card. As soon as the door opened, she ran in behind me.
After entering, she quickly said "thank you" to me, and then hurried upstairs to find a place. I guess it's to show my gratitude. By the way, she also said, "What floor are you going to? I'll help you find a seat. "
I usually go to the sixth floor, because it is a social science book, and I like reading that kind of book. If I am tired of reviewing, I can also pick up some extra-curricular books.
In this way, he went to help me occupy the seat, and I took the water bottle to the first floor to get water to prepare for reading more books in the afternoon. To tell the truth, I was surprised when she said she would save me a seat, but I didn't think much.
That day, the two of us read books at the same table all afternoon, and it was from then on that I really observed her. She is not beautiful, but she is an ordinary girl who loves to laugh and has long hair and shawl.
Later, I learned that she and I are fellow villagers, and they both went to Anhui to go to college from Fujian. She studies business administration. However, I am from Quanzhou and belong to southern Fujian, and she is from Longyan and belongs to western Fujian. As for why I know, it is entirely because her Mandarin is not standard, so I am interested in asking where she is from.
When I met a fellow villager in a foreign country, I was really in tears, so I added my contact information that day and agreed to come out to chat often in the future. Later, I recommended her to join a hometown association in our school.
Sometimes life is such a coincidence. It is precisely because of this coincidence that I have always cherished our friendship with each other.
After graduating from college, she suddenly told me that she wanted to travel to Xiamen and invited me to go with her. From sophomore year to senior year, we have a good relationship and often go to hometown meetings together. Later, she often organized members of the association to have dinner and do activities, which brought all the villagers in our school together, and everyone liked her very much.
Sometimes when we are free, we will invite each other to run in the playground, but it is really just a simple friendship, and some fellow villagers often make fun of us, but I always tell others with a smile that we are absolutely pure friendship and I have no wild thoughts about her.
In this way, we have maintained this good friendship for two years, and I have told her many times that I am glad to know her, otherwise my college life will definitely be boring.
A few days before graduating from college, she suddenly told me online that she wanted to travel and asked me if I had time to accompany her. She said that her roommate was too busy and no one wanted to go.
In fact, I was busy preparing for my new job, and I didn't really want to go, but then she said that the place I wanted to go was Xiamen, and I smiled. Isn't Xiamen the place where I started my new job? For me, I just want to go to Xiamen after graduation, so I just dropped in.
She said that although she is from Fujian, she has strict family management since she was a child, so she has never left Longyan until she went to college. Xiamen has always wanted to go, but it has never been there.
Hearing this, I immediately said that I could go to Xiamen for a few days. At that time, she also found a job in her hometown, but she didn't start working yet.
So, I suggest that since it is a tour, don't take the train, just fly back and fly from Hefei to Xiamen. She is also very happy, saying that it is the first time to fly.
As for the cost, she was considerate. She called me 1500 yuan directly and told me the whole arrangement. She said that she just ate and watched and left the rest to me.
I was also relatively free at that time, so I took the initiative to play the role of a tour guide. She said that if the money was not enough, she would give it to me later. I was also prepared at that time, that is, the cost of the whole journey. Finally, she paid three copies and I paid seven copies. In this case, I will neither appear too stingy nor embarrass her.
In this way, I bought a plane ticket and waited for the day of graduation.
A perfect start, but it's getting worse. The day after graduation, we sent our luggage home first, and then we just carried a small bag on our backs and traveled to Xiamen by plane.
It was very cold at that time, and she was very happy on the plane, but when she got off the plane, we had our first contradiction.
The reason for the contradiction is that I didn't plan ahead and didn't know how to get from Gao Qi Airport to the hotel on the pedestrian street. I wanted to take a taxi, but I couldn't bear to part with it when I saw that the price was too expensive. I want to find the subway, but I can't find it.
At that time, my mobile phone was used for more than two years and it was very stuck. I've always wanted to change, but I can't bear to change. In summer, the mobile phone is still hot, and it takes tens of seconds to open a web page. When we were standing in the sun, her mood was a little wrong. Although I didn't complain, I could tell from my expression.
Finally, I learned about the ride by asking for directions. It took about an hour to get to our place. I booked a hotel in advance with two rooms, but the two rooms at the front desk are far apart in the whole corridor.
At that time, she was a little unhappy and said that she felt unsafe. She asked me to go to the front desk to help her ask if she could change rooms and be closer to me. I'm a little impatient, too, and I don't want to change. I thought there would be no security problem, but I didn't say it because I knew I couldn't say these words.
So, I crustily skin of head to help her change rooms, and she finally couldn't help laughing. That afternoon, we ate something casually and set off for Gulangyu Island.
On the boat to Gulangyu, she accidentally lost her sun umbrella, and then when she arrived in Gulangyu, her skin would turn red in hot weather without an umbrella. Later, we searched several stores before we found an umbrella seller.
Originally, I wanted to have dinner in Gulangyu, and my shop was also optimistic, but suddenly I helped. Two of her high school classmates called and asked if we would like to have dinner together.
It turned out that his classmates were all working in Xiamen at that time. Knowing that she had come to Xiamen, they wanted to get together with her. I'm not going. After all, I don't know her friends, and it would be embarrassing to go, so I refused. But after I turned her down, she became very unhappy and kept asking me to go, saying that dinner would be fine.
I really had no choice at that time, so I followed her. All the way down, she chatted with her friends. I looked down at my mobile phone when I was eating, and then I was conflicted when I finally checked out.
It was she who asked me to pay, but I didn't go and asked her friend to pay. She was a little angry and said I was too stingy. I thought, it was your friend who invited us on his own initiative. According to the truth, they should invite us, not our treat.
But she said that she seldom asked her friends to treat her. It was her treat, and she didn't want to owe anyone.
I can't help it I must let her go and apologize to her. At that time, I felt that her personality was different from mine, and many things were different.
Later, I returned the rest of the money to her, and she never looked for me again. The next day, we went to Xiamen University during the day and then went to Huandao Road. She saw others riding a tandem bike and wanted to ride it. But the most embarrassing thing is that I can't ride a bike. It's true. I grew up driving, but I just can't ride a bike.
I told her that she thought I lied to her, deliberately, and didn't want to waste money. I'm helpless. Finally, she rode alone, and I found a place to enjoy the cool and wait for her.
That night, we went to Baicheng Beach to play, and her foot was cut by a stone. I didn't bring a napkin at that time. I searched for it for a long time before I bought it. She also told me that I had no idea how to take care of people.
Then, we went back. When I went back that night, I took out a pen and paper at my residence and made a clear account of the money I spent these two days. In the end, all she had was 600 yuan. On the way to the railway station at noon the next day, I said I would transfer the money to her, but she said no, so I did.
I didn't see any change in her when I left, but after I transferred the money to her, she never took the initiative to look for me when she went back.
Once I asked her how her work was, and she replied to me very late. I also called to ask her out to meet, trying to explain in person why she became like this on a trip, but she refused, either because she was unavailable or next time.
I know, and I know, our friendship, because there was a crack in that trip, can't go back. It has been almost four years now, and we have never met again.
If it weren't for the graduation trip, maybe we could still be very good friends now. So it's best not to travel with acquaintances, because it's very likely that your relationship will break down after one trip.
Why is this happening? I think it's a big reason, because during the trip, we all saw each other's true colors and knew each other's habits and personalities in life.
Friends are usually friendly, but once they travel together, all kinds of contradictions will stand out.
In fact, I still don't understand why after two days of traveling, her attitude towards me has changed so much that she no longer cares about me.
Finally, I hope everyone who travels with acquaintances can be happy.
