Natalie was in the conference room with several clients when she walked to the conference room with a pile of materials in April. The corridor is narrow, so she leans to let them pass first.

The data pile is half a person's height. In order to borrow money, she put a small part on the windowsill. The sunshine outside the window is very good, and the skin exposed by the arm is warm. I have held the data of April for a long time, and my fingers are numb. When she saw that the people had almost left, she quickened her pace and suddenly bumped into the last one.

Crashed with a clash, the information in my arms fell like an avalanche, and April gave a cry of surprise. The man's reaction was very quick-he caught the information piled up like the leaning tower of Pisa.

A heart lifted and put down, and in the fully air-conditioned office building, I broke out in a cold sweat in April. When the other party saw her in a mess, they didn't take out their hands immediately, but just helped her with the information. As soon as she looked down, she saw a crisp cuff with sea blue fine lines and slender fingers.

Should be a young man? Her favor suddenly doubled, and she quickly thanked her again.

The other party just smiled: "Miss, hold on?"

The voice is so sweet, April is a little trance ... as if I had heard it somewhere. She tried to suppress that strange feeling and nodded and said, "Well, thank you."

When the data came back to him, the man finally showed his face. He was a young man. Single eyelid, short hair, straight nose and thin lips. Fresh and clean, just like the blue shirt he is wearing at the moment.

Wei Yucheng? April's voice stopped this person's name before the frequency of her thinking.

"Hi, April." The young man was more able to control his surprise than she was and raised his eyebrows slightly. "What a coincidence."

Male ... remember his name.

April is stupefied.

Crashed with a clash, the pile of data still fell down.

Later, I remembered, as the saying goes, this is your destination.

Avoidance is inevitable

The manager turned green when he saw the IP client and April squatting in the corridor to collect information together. He went straight over and leaned over and asked, "What happened here?"

April is speechless.

Fortunately, Wei Yucheng didn't think so: "Nothing, I bumped into this lady."

"Are you here to talk about the contract?" I can't help asking in April.

"Oh, no .. I'm a technician. I'm fine today, so I'll go and have a look with you. " Wei Yucheng returned the information in his hand to her and gave him a deep look. "What a coincidence, I met my old classmates."

I walked into the meeting room, silently distributed the materials, sat down at the last position, bowed my head in April, and listened to the media and subsequent progress reported by the manager to the customer, but my thoughts were a little erratic.

The meeting time of more than one hour seems to be long, but it is actually very short. April was a little absent-minded, until finally, they sent three customers to the elevator to say hello and say goodbye. She has been afraid to look up, only to see her hands stretched out in front of her: "Happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation." She blushed slightly, but she had to look up and look straight into her clear eyes.

Wei Yucheng smiled and walked into the elevator with his colleagues. The slender figure slowly disappeared with the gradually closed door.

April was inevitably criticized after the customer left. Wei Yucheng is a big customer, but she not only didn't put the information away early, but also ran into someone in the corridor. Fortunately, the client was very satisfied with the media plan, and finally, the manager let her out.

Natalie came to her and said, "I heard you called the CTO of Kazakhstan."

"Is he the technical director of Kazakhstan?" April was incredible. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Why do you think he came here?"

Natalie shrugged. "Who knows?"

April was a little tired and rubbed his eyebrows, and one jumped out.

"Don't forget the party tonight, Rosie, at 8: 30."

Looking at the time in April, I replied, "OK, I won't forget it."

"Well, there are surprises at night!"

April rubbed her eyebrows again. Surprise? Whose surprise will be bigger than yours? She met Wei Yucheng! She can almost imagine that everyone must be dumbfounded when she throws such gossip at the party.

At night.

Roxy bar

When she arrived in April, Du Fei saw her at a glance and waved and said, "Coming."

"What to drink? Bos eggs, sweet oranges or blackcurrants? " Du Fei asked her skillfully and called the waiter.

"Can you stop drinking?" In fact, I just want to drink soda in April, but this sentence provoked all the men and women present to say, "How can I not drink it for real today?" Besides, the degree is so low, when have you ever been drunk? "

"Blackcurrant." April is helpless.

"That started?" Du Fei asked for an empty wine bottle, put it on the wine table, held it up with his fingers and spun it gently. "The same."

The bottle turns steadily. After a dozen laps, it stopped slowly and the bottle mouth pointed to April.

April sighed, said nothing, drank half a cup of black currant liqueur, and the ice cubes jingled on the glass wall.

"The first question is simple." Someone said, "April, what is the biggest gossip that happened around you this week?"

"The biggest gossip ..." April seriously wanted to think, the in the mind have the answer. "This is-"

"Hey, everybody, here comes the surprise!" Du Fei suddenly interrupted her. "Look back, who is it?"

Black Polo shirt, khaki tough trench coat, short hair and single eyelid.

Wei Yucheng.

In April, her heart suddenly accelerated. She bowed her head in disguise, then took a gulp of deep purple liquid, and all kinds of exclamations were heard in her ears.

"I'm not dazzled, am I, Wei Yucheng?"

"When did the genius boy come back?"

"Who did it?"

At the center of attention, Wei Yucheng is calmer than others. He shook hands with his old friends from high school. Some of them can remember their names, others can't, so they get to know each other again and have a harmonious atmosphere.

When it was April's turn, he gave her a meaningful smile and only said, "Hello."

April holds his palm, warm and powerful. I don't know if it is because of drinking, her cheeks are red and hot: "Hello."

"April, what about the gossip you said?" After sitting down, someone picked up the topic again.

"The gossip is ... him." In April, he honestly pointed to Wei Yucheng sitting opposite him. "We just met this morning. He is a client of our new project."

"What a coincidence?"

"Why didn't you say anything before?"

Another burst of noisy and serious words, April can only smile: "Didn't you interrupt?"

Wei Yucheng came with a smiling voice: "Yes, I was surprised when I saw April."

"Yes, yes. You are predestined friends. Representative of mathematics class, representative of Chinese class. " Du Fei looked at April's cramped eyes and made a joke on purpose.

April pursed her mouth and showed an expression that she didn't know what to say, so she could only look at her cup of blackcurrant that was about to bottom out.

My high school buddies temporarily forgot the game and started chatting in twos and threes. And this quiet bar DJ, who has always loved to come, suddenly changed his music, which is a girl's version of bullfighting. It was no longer Jay Chou's inarticulate rap, but an unknown female hand sang such a unique hip-hop unruly song.

With the light melody, April tapped her fingers on the table and kept raising her eyes. Because of the hazy atmosphere, the man in the opposite seat can't see clearly, but he can still recognize the beautiful and neat outline.

She suddenly began to lose her mind and remembered her unrequited love in high school.

In high school, my companions and I were crazy about this shy newcomer named Jay Chou.

At that time, there were few CDs, let alone MP3 players. Every night during self-study, everyone puts the tapes in the black repeater and listens while doing homework. When the teacher came over, he pretended to be listening to the English tape. On the way to school, I rode my bike with headphones plugged in, my hair flying in the morning breeze, boys humming nunchakus, and girls like to listen to Silence.

In this melody, everyone is worried about the math exam in the morning, and it is also contradictory to the basketball game in the afternoon.

On the first day of school, the head teacher arranges the class representatives of all subjects according to the entrance scores. April is of course the representative of Chinese class, but Wei Yucheng, the boy in the back row, is an exception. The head teacher said, "Wei Yucheng, you are good at math and physics." What do you want to be? "

The tall boy scratched his hair and casually said, "Math."

So the whole class knows that the monster who got full marks in science in the senior high school entrance examination is this good-looking single-eyelid boy.

But he's not a nerd. April often envies him for not doing his homework and getting full marks. When the whole class was cursing the rare abnormal physics exam, he had sneaked into the playground with his basketball in his arms.

A lunch break, April prone on the table, bored listening to the cassette, there is a sentence in front of me.

Wei Yucheng came back from the court and leaned over and looked: "Do you like Jay Chou, too?"

The midday sun shone through the window. He was so close and the radian of his lips was so beautiful. In April, he even noticed stubble on the edge of his lips, but he didn't feel sloppy at all, only made people feel fresh.

April blushed inexplicably, but pretended to be careless and nodded: "Yes."

He sat down beside her with a big smile on his face and asked, "Chinese class representative, how can your composition be so long?"

April choked: "Then why don't you do your homework and get full marks in math?"

Wei Yucheng habitually scratched his hair and said sincerely, "The paper is too simple."

April doesn't look so good. Why doesn't she think so?

"So, science doesn't understand, you ask me. Ancient prose, let me ask you! " Wei Yucheng wanted to mean to say.

"Good, mutual progress!"

Their relationship has become familiar. Perhaps because I like basketball, April knows that her favorite is bullfighting. Every time he stood on the court, Wei Yucheng chewed gum, and the posture of the point guard was neither urgent nor slow, and his fingers were raised to direct the attack or defense of the first team. Around the basketball court, there are girls from grade one to grade three, shouting "Wei Yucheng" crazily.

At that time in April, her understanding of basketball was limited to "how many points our class won". She didn't realize that she really didn't have the talent until she had to make a three-step layup in the physical education exam. So after class, I turned to Wei Yucheng, who was drinking wildly, and asked, "Is there a trick to make a three-step layup?"

"You didn't fail the PE exam, did you?"

"Uh ..." April felt humiliated.

"I volunteered to help you this week, but, Zhou Ji, you help me." Wei Yucheng smiled cunningly, showing white teeth.

"Deal!"

April is a good student, straightforward and smart, with good grades and generous to everyone. The boys on the basketball team are also willing to help her practice-because she has a good temper, even if she jokes that she doesn't play well and keeps walking, she won't be angry.

On this day, april was finally able to score six goals within the stipulated time. She put her hands on her knees, panting, and at the same time, Wei Yucheng, who was wandering around, compared her hands.

Wei Yucheng jumped down from the railing and clapped his hands. "Come on, let's celebrate."

They bought two lemon ice creams at a small part of the school, each for one yuan. Pale yellow, with thin crushed ice outside. Bite it down, and the cream inside is wrapped in lemon sauce, which is very thirsty.

April took a sip, and some slurred words said, "Thank you."

Wei Yucheng ate his own food in three bites, and then put his hands in his pockets: "Nothing, you help me write the weekly diary, don't forget!" "

They went to the garage to get the car. In the sunset, two long figures dragged side by side, sometimes touching and sometimes separating. The carport is empty, just like the school at the moment. The teenagers whistled and waved goodbye.

With the approaching of the final exam of senior one, the head teacher launched a "clean-up campaign" in the whole class with lightning speed-the goal is to eliminate all time-wasting pop songs. At that time, the April disc "Jay" was inserted in the Walkn in Yucheng Wei, which was also a heroic handover. Wei Yucheng asked her to apologize, and she said casually, "It doesn't matter, anyway, I will return it after the exam."

Actually, it's not. I do whatever I want and I don't listen. After all, the exam is coming. No one in the class dares to relax again except Wei Yucheng. Even Wei Yucheng is often called to the office by the Chinese teacher because he can't recite ancient Chinese.

After the exam, I will go back to school in April to look at the list of liberal arts subjects. Wei Yucheng didn't come that day. The math paper was handed out by someone else. In the office, she heard the math teacher praise the proud pupil with an extremely happy voice: "I sent it to the Olympic Mathematics Training Camp, and maybe I can get the first place back."

April couldn't help looking at the basketball court outside the window. There was no figure he was most familiar with among the boys. There is a secret sadness in her heart. After all, it will not be a class in the future.

Senior two is sandwiched between senior one and senior three. Although it is not dead, it has no vitality of fresh people. Sometimes in April, after class, someone shouted, "Chinese class representative, your composition is a model essay of our class again!" " "

Others shouted: "You are not here, you don't hand in your homework, no one helps you cover it up, and you are caught every time."

Wei Yucheng sat in his original position. I don't know if it is an illusion. In April, he came back from the Olympic training and felt that he had grown a little taller. Maybe it's because he didn't play ball during the holiday that he lost a lot of time.

Holding a pen in his hand, he also smiled and said, "No one helps me write my weekly diary."

April smiled gracefully: "You invite me to eat lemon ice cream, and I will consider writing one for you."

"Very cost-effective!" Wei Yucheng lost his pen and stood up. "Go, go now."

But after all, it is not a class, so there are fewer and fewer opportunities to chat and joke. In April, I got the news of Wei Yucheng from my friends and the school newspaper, which was nothing more than going to training again, ranking first in all kinds of olympiad. This teenager, in this school, is always too dazzling to be ignored.

In a blink of an eye, the college entrance examination was over, and I got my first choice in April. It is a very good foreign university. She went back to school to get the admission notice, and looked at every scene on campus with some disappointment, feeling reluctant to give up.

I turned around and went to the carport to get the car in April until I was stopped.

"April!"

It is Wei Yucheng.

He didn't take the college entrance examination because he was admitted to a famous American school because of his excellent performance in the international Olympic Games.

When I saw him in front of the carport, I couldn't help thinking of April two years ago. They strolled here, chewing ice cream and saying goodbye with a smile. She suddenly felt a little sad, so she lowered her head, hid her expression and said with a smile, "I haven't congratulated you yet." When are you going out? "

"The visa has come down, and went out in August. In fact, I am very flustered and go out alone. " Wei Yucheng scratched his hair. No matter how much others envied him, he meant what he said to April. "In fact, the home is not bad. Let's go to college together. "

"Yeah, but you are really something!" April said sincerely.

Wei Yucheng scratched his hair embarrassedly: "By the way, remember this?"

He shook the small box in his hand.

"When I was a freshman, the class teacher destroyed the cassette." He said solemnly, "I ran to return the box to you again."

As if nothing had happened, he really forgot in April. He took it and said with a smile, "Thank you."

At that time, the teenager was wearing a white T-shirt and stood tall and straight like an poplar in the scorching sun. Sweating on his forehead, he grinned: "You … remember to go back and listen."

Then I went home in April and didn't open it.

At that time, there was already an MP3 player, because as soon as she was admitted to the university, her parents rewarded her with one. Although the memory is very small, only a dozen songs can be stored, she still put the bullfight in the first song without hesitation.

Later, she left town to go to college and work, but she always took the card with her, even though she still didn't open it, just like a small box where she could hide her worries.

Because the memory of high school has ended with the blue sky and white clouds in midsummer and the handsome teenagers flying to the other side of the ocean.

"Let's keep playing!" Some students suggested, "Truth or dare."

In April, someone was found to have turned the bottle.

What a coincidence! It is April again. In April, I looked at my bottom cup awkwardly and heard Du Fei say, "Have another drink."

"Well, ask what?"

"Have you ever had a crush on the handsome guy here?" I wonder which wicked ghost asked such a question.

April's face burned red at once. She swallowed the wine in her throat and didn't dare to see everyone's reaction. She just casually pointed to Xiao Pang next to her: "Xiao Pang, I had a crush on you in high school!" "

Xiao Pang has lost weight for a long time. He is tall and thin. He looked frightened: "Really? We have been at the same table for so long, why didn't you say so earlier? Otherwise, I won't get married early, just waiting for you. "

Everyone laughed and let her go.

This night, because Wei Yucheng came back, the atmosphere was even higher, and it was tossed until midnight.

Everyone took a taxi in front of the bar and asked around. April and Wei Yucheng are in the same direction. Du Fei pushed April in front of him: "Remember to send someone back!"

She was picked up by her boyfriend and got on the bus with Wei Yucheng in April. When she is a little drunk, she prefers to talk: "Why would you rather take a big risk than tell the truth?"

Wei Yucheng casually put a windbreaker on her body and Gherardini said, "Aren't you the same? Although you are playing for real, are you telling the truth? "

"Uh ..." April was a little slow. "What?"

His eyes lit up and he smiled and shook his head: "Nothing."

Downstairs, Wei Yucheng saw her off and said, "Have a good rest. See you in a few days. "

It was not until April that I understood what "in a few days" meant.

It was the customer's new product launch. This young network has attracted much attention because of its new browser. It arrived at the event site of the hotel in early April and was responsible for media contact, sign-in and distribution of souvenirs.

Just that day, my colleague had acute gastroenteritis. She was alone and obviously felt too busy. Sure enough, for a time, many A-level media and B-level media were at a loss. The check-in desk was temporarily blocked and the reporter immediately complained.

Yes, the reporter media is the uncle. When the scene was in chaos, people were even more worried in April. It was not until the manager came out to appease the media and made up a souvenir that he glared at her and whispered, "Come here."

This reprimand is more severe than any previous one. I cried several times in April, but I couldn't explain my colleague's departure. I can only keep my head down and listen without saying a word.

At the beginning of the press conference, the manager asked her to clean up the mess outside and went in by herself.

Take a deep breath in April, hold back your tears and collect information silently. When I looked up, there was a figure on my left hand side.

Wei Yucheng looked at her in a dark suit, with his slender body leaning against the wall and his hands in his pockets. His eyes were soft with a hint of comfort.

April felt embarrassed, but turned around and didn't even smile, just scrambling to collect information.

Wei Yucheng seemed to want to come over, but soon someone called him away.

April is relieved, and the vibration in his pocket vibrates. She opened it and saw a message from a strange code: "Don't leave until the activity is over."

The activity is over. It is almost five o'clock. In April, I sent some documents and the remaining souvenirs back, only to remember that one, and then I took it out and saw that there was no electricity.

Forget it.

She is a little depressed and doesn't want to go home. She passed a coffee shop downstairs and pushed the door in. I ordered a large latte. I held the mug in my palm, but I didn't drink it. I still have headphones in my ears, and I don't know when the iPod will be turned into a loop. Jay Chou's voice is vague:

"Say how you face me,

Throw away the ball, I am full of anger,

I've wanted to hit you for a long time,

Don't want to hide ... "

April is suddenly a little gloomy. Every day, under the harsh eyes of the boss and the intrigue of the office, there will be hidden rules from time to time ... if a person has edges and corners, I am afraid he will be smoothed away. Unlike some people-always so radiant.

It was getting dark outside the window when suddenly someone pushed the door and came in. She was rude and pulled her up.

The cold coffee in my hand almost spilled. I looked up in April and saw Wei Yucheng.

He pinched his lips tightly, his eyes were anxious or worried, and his voice was low: "Come on, let's go somewhere."

April stared at him blankly, wondering how he found here.

He obviously came from the press conference in a hurry, still wearing a suit and tie, but the tie was torn off and the two buttons on the neckline were unbuttoned: "I found you in a big circle." Why is it off? "

"There is no electricity." In April, she was dragged into the car, and her expression was still a little scary: "Where to?"

And his expression softened a lot: "Play ball."

In April, he drove to a neighborhood he had never been to, took out a basketball from the trunk and threw it to her: "Remember the three-step layup?"

April smiled bitterly, but did not refuse his kindness.

"Wrong! That foot! "

"ah! Go! "

"Why haven't you made progress for so many years?"

She fouled again and again, and finally she just ran to the basket with the ball and threw it straight out. I couldn't see the target clearly in the dark, and with a bang, the basketball hit my face again. April was about to dodge when someone reached out and hooked the ball easily.

"how about it? Do you feel better? " Wei Yucheng casually carried the ball. "If it's not good, I have a trick."

I really feel much better after a good exercise. April looked up at him, wondering what this so-called trick was.

He was too lazy to talk, so he threw her a paper towel to wipe his sweat. Like a teenager at that time, he stretched himself: "Go and eat."

Unfortunately, there was no lemon ice cream at that time, and it could not be found all over the city. They had to stop at D, and each of them demanded a snowstorm. Sitting in a shop with soft lights, eating something in April, I heard Wei Yucheng say, "Take your time at work. Who can't make mistakes? "

April well, I didn't look up. .

"In fact, I have missed you for a long time, but I am afraid that I have been strangers to each other for so long."

"Don't you have it now?" April barely smiled. "High school classmates, what's strange?"

Wei Yucheng was silent for a while, and the car in April just drove downstairs.

She thanked her and was about to get off the bus when he suddenly said, "Do you remember that I returned the tape to you?"

April was taken aback but nodded.

"You ..." Wei Yucheng hesitated, and his handsome face slipped a little embarrassed. "Nothing, just have a good rest and sleep."

Going home in April, I was alone in a small room, but the feeling of depression became stronger and stronger.

Why are you so stupid? But he is getting better and better. If two parallel lines no longer intersect, it will be just a dull past ... but they have to meet again, and he can only watch himself make a fool of himself.

Besides, why should he be so good to himself? Playing ball games, eating ice cream ... He remembers all those childish things, even the tapes. ...

April tossed and turned in bed for a long time, sat up again and turned on the light. My eyes couldn't help wandering to one side of the bookcase. The penultimate layer is full of tapes from that year. She squatted down and searched carefully for one of them.

The cassette was covered with a layer of dust. In April, I wiped it with my fingers, leaving several slender traces. The boy on the cover is wearing a yellow plaid shirt, curly hair and headphones, floating in the air, enjoying himself.

This is the box.

By some strange coincidence, she opened the cassette for the first time and took out the word book, in which a piece of paper flew out gently.

Metamorphoses, April seems to be who hold the heart, she held her breath, trying to see the two lines above:

"April, I wonder ... can I be better friends with you?"

Then there is a string of numbers with a note on the side. Do you use them?

April kept her posture for a few seconds, and she recognized Wei Yucheng's handwriting.

She missed the invitation for too long.

Her eyes swept to the release date of the album, 2008.

Ten years.

April cried without warning. While crying, she turned on the computer, logged in and looked for the owner of the code.

The other person's head is the most common little penguin, nicknamed "math class representative"

In April, I ordered "add each other as friends", and then sat hopelessly, staring blankly at the night sky.

However, in almost a few seconds, the other party replied.

Then, the person in charge jumped up and sent the first sentence:

"Hi, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

April's tears seem to be hard to stop, and the brush falls off, I don't know because of that young secret love; Still pure, just because of lost, silent time.

Her fingertips stopped on the keyboard, but she couldn't type a word.

After a long time, when she almost thought the other person would stop talking, the phone rang.

Wei Yucheng's voice: "I'm downstairs."

I went downstairs in April and saw him leaning against the car, quietly looking at the direction he came from.

She hesitated to stop, but he straightened up and walked quickly. If she couldn't refuse, he held her in his arms.

That night, they sat in Wei Yucheng's car and talked a lot.

He talked about the hardships of a person's study, the frustration of waiting for her response, and the helplessness of being separated from other places. Finally he said, "Do you know why I came to see you that day?"

April shook her head and looked silly and cute.

He smiled, his eyes as sly as when he was a teenager: "Because I saw your name at my colleagues in other places. I don't think I can miss it again this time. "

April cried and laughed, but at this moment, she was finally too tired to support, and slowly fell asleep in the car chair.

And the music in the car just jumped to the next song "I can't open my mouth":

"I just can't let her know.

I'll take care of you,

Make you laugh, too

How important you are to me,

I regret not letting you know,

Quietly listening to your coquetry,

Watching you sleep till you are old. "

"April, do you want to hear the truth from me?" He leaned down and kissed her gently between the eyes. "I didn't say anything at the bar that day."

In April, when I was half asleep, I said "hmm".

"If someone asked me if I had a crush on anyone that day ..." He paused and whispered, "I would say yes. That person, it's always been you. Until now ... "

April still closed her eyes, but she thought it was incredible-

It's ... in this world,

More youthful than in those days.

Cool lemon ice cream,

And unrequited love in return?

Yes, I hope you will adopt it.
