Betty and Veronica

Betty and Veronica are the characters in the famous American Archie comics. They are good girlfriends, but they often have some small fights. Betty is a blonde, easy-going and simple, and hates evil. Veronica, on the other hand, always appears as a sexy rich girl with long black hair, often maxes out her credit card and occasionally uses some tricks to achieve her goal. Archie never knew whether he should choose Betty or Veronica as his girlfriend.

1 Betty and I

May 21

? I was 13 years old at that time. I think so. I'm definitely not 14 yet. I have no idea what "sex" means. As for why we began to seriously think about what "sex" is that day later, I can't remember clearly.

? Betty was still my deskmate at that time. She was a drop-in student, that is, after we all started school, she was suddenly led into the classroom one afternoon. The school uniform she is wearing is different from all of us. It is a novel blue.

? I think the moment she walked into the classroom, the damp and cold classroom suddenly lit up. Our classroom is actually a biology laboratory. The cabinets in the back row are full of heavy glass jars. Rabbit specimens and frogs without legs float silently in formalin liquid. At the front of the classroom is a row of hand-washing basins, which may be where the brains of frogs and the internal organs of rabbits are washed away.

? Betty is very white. She is the whitest girl I have ever seen. Like other girls, she wore a tight ponytail, and her hair was very light, which was more obvious in the sun. It was completely chestnut. She has a very anxious expression on her face, and her eyebrows are slightly twisted together. My mother often describes the girl she likes and appreciates as "comely" at home. I think this is probably comely, even though she looked unhappy at that time.

? Later, I found out that she was not as quiet and serious as she looked. The impression that she kept her back tight was all I had at first. On the contrary, she liked to bully others. For example, one day we accidentally found that we were on the same way from school, so she insisted that I walk with her to the station, or she would hold on to my schoolbag tape. In addition, she would put her thighs on me during class, which I still find incredible, but at that time, we all thought it was a normal action and had no deep meaning.

? Until one day, Wenzhou boys who played well with us showed us a magazine.

? "Do you know how the bitch got pregnant?" He also asked us mysteriously, and Betty and I looked at each other.

? It was a bosom friend magazine two months ago, and the cover was a female star who is still active in the film industry. She tied two sheephorn braids and put them on a pure white cover, looking pure.

? Betty grabbed it first. After she finished reading it, she put the magazine in the corner of the desk. I grabbed it while she was not looking. Before I opened it, she grabbed it back.

? "Don't look. There are bad things in it. "

? "Why, show me."

? "Don't look, you can't look at the story inside."

? I forget what I promised her later. She always asks me to do something ridiculous in exchange, but I don't mind. It's all harmless little things. Anyway, she agreed to let me read magazines.

? That afternoon, I buried my head deeply, and almost the whole magazine was stuffed in my desk. I only finished reading those passionate articles, such as the woman who role-played with her husband, the woman who was threatened by the principal to lose her virginity and finally forced to divorce her husband, "My exotic love" and so on ...

? Something was stirring in my crotch, and my neck felt shaky. Betty looked at me and laughed.

? A week later, Betty mysteriously handed me a small note.

? "At 1 o'clock in the evening, FM 72.5 is a very interesting program."

? That's the memory of some Shanghainese, Temperament Man, which was the only sex education broadcast in Shanghai at that time. I don't know how many boys and girls who secretly listened in the dark were surprised.

? It turns out that they can just say these words. It's unbelievable.

? What does Betty think? I think that at the same time in the evening, Betty is hiding in the bed and listening to the broadcast with the same content as me. Does she lie there straight with her eyes wide open, or does she curl up and bury her head in the quilt?

? Maybe that's when I thought she was different. She never dodges or screams when everyone talks about words that make people blush. Even if one day all the girls in the school stay and give them sanitary napkins, as soon as she walks out of the school gate, she is surrounded by several boys in the class and asks to see what the teacher just sent. She also takes it out of her schoolbag and tears it out and shakes it in front of several boys' noses.

August 27

? In the summer before senior three, I wanted to invite Betty out for dinner on her birthday, but I couldn't figure out where to take her.

? She has grown a lot, still wears a ponytail, but her face is more and more round. That pair of glasses with red edges may be one reason. She also bulged a lot of bags on her forehead, and her expression became more and more serious, but I don't think the heavy schoolwork is affecting her.

? At that time, many people in her class were in love, and I was afraid that she would suddenly tell me who she was with one day, although I knew she was never the object of discussion among boys.

? She is crazy about foreign things. She spent the whole summer in European and American movies. I watched Friends with her, but I couldn't watch it all the time.

? Before the summer vacation began, I received a love letter, which was folded into the shape of love, but the two sides were slightly asymmetrical. I originally wanted to throw it away, but I finally thought about it and opened it. After reading it, I folded it into a paper plane.

? "Don't you like people?" Betty asked me.

? "I don't know." I'll answer right away. "Who do you like now?" I really want to ask her, but I feel a little embarrassed to ask.

? "I am applying for an American university." She said suddenly. "I want to go abroad. I will take the TOEFL next month. Recently, I have been reading books late every night, and I get up in the morning to recite words. "

? "Well ..." I was at a loss.

? "Let's start a conversation in English!" She always laughs at my accent in English, and makes me listen to the band she has recently fallen in love with on the phone.

? Betty's heart is big and wild, which is what I thought at that time. It will be hard for me to marry such a girl as my wife. She is the kind of person who likes to surprise you by getting everything ready unexpectedly.

? But she is very simple after all.

? "Don't invite me to dinner, when you and your parents go to Thailand for a holiday, remember to make a wish for me! Tell God I'm going to new york to go to college, and I'll travel around the world in the future! "

? I readily promised.

? "The girl who likes you, don't refuse her. Don't say anything, well, just give her a smile. " On the other end of the phone, she muttered again.

I know her mind is not in love at all.

February 29

? It didn't happen after all.

? Betty didn't go to new york.

? "I don't want to have too much burden on my family. After all, I haven't applied for a scholarship. My parents are discussing selling a house ... Let's go to graduate school after graduating from college. As long as it takes two years, the cost will be much saved."

? I didn't tell her that I didn't make a wish when I was in Thailand. What do boys wish for? I don't want Betty to go to new york. I don't even want her to go to Hangzhou.

? But what I didn't want to see happened.

? Betty told me that there was a boy chasing her in their university, and she was scared.

? "Do you remember the boy sitting behind us in junior high school? I met him in the university town. He asked me to go out for dinner, and I gave him my share of the money for dinner, and he didn't want it. "

? "Do you like him?"

? "I don't like it, I really want to escape, and I am afraid to talk to him."

? Betty began to learn to wear contact lenses at that time, but she still couldn't avoid the down jacket that her mother bought for her, and told me that she admired those girls who were not afraid of the cold and could wear fashionable jackets and short skirts. She felt that she was dressed like an old cadre.

? I don't want her to fall in love at all.

? A week later, she suddenly called me.

? "The boy, just sent me something, is his own flash. I dare not look at it. I feel so strange and embarrassed. Will you watch it for me? "

? That night, she turned down the boy and wrote a long email to others, full of artist style.

? "Betty ..." I tried to say something to her several times.

? A few weeks later.

? It was an unusually cold February. It rained for three weeks, and every pair of my sneakers was wet.

? Betty invited me to dinner, and her school was a few stops away from me. I thought about it, but I put on my wet shoes and went to the appointment.

? "I'm in love!" She looks dazzling all over. "He is a boy who can draw and play the guitar very well! We met at the school station. The school bus was late that day. We took a taxi to school together. Originally, we said goodbye, but I insisted on paying him back the fare of four yuan. Four coins. Oh, I turned my head and put them in his hand ... "

? She told me how much she longed for "the boy who is full of art", just like when she announced that she would go to new york.

? I went back to the dormitory to open the automatic textbook to do my homework, but I saw that my fingertips were like ink flowing out. For the first time, I had that kind of uncontrollable impulse, pretending that I walked up to Betty and the boy who could draw, gracefully drawing an arc around his neck, and his blood formed a piece of art that I was most satisfied with on the wall.

? It doesn't matter, I just need to choose a girl who doesn't talk so much from those girls who have been approaching me.

? It's just that none of them will return the four-dollar fare to each other like Betty.

December 212

? Betty and I haven't been in touch for over a year.

? Last autumn, my parents arranged for me to study in the United States, and I stayed in new york for an extra month. In a small cafe in Suha, I just watched the exhibition of Pieter Hugo, a new photographer. I wrote Betty a postcard and sent her a canvas bag with the works of Jordi Labanda, her favorite illustrator.

? Then there was no reply, and no matter how I looked for her on MSN and QQ, she refused to talk to me again as if she were determined.

? Through various channels, looking through her various words, it seems that she has broken up with the artist's boyfriend. I imagine her tearful face is as white as a hot light bulb in the cold wind, and it will burst if it burns too hot.

? A few days ago, when she suddenly found me and said that she was going out for dinner, she was also cautious.

? I don't know how to face her.

? She cut her hair short and matured at once, wearing silver hoop earrings on her ears, but she had more softness than before. I don't know when she learned to look at others with moist eyes.

? "I am now working in a joint venture company. Our boss has a very strange hobby. He likes us to gather around him for dinner and listen to his stories. He also asks me to go to his office alone, implying that if I don't fit in, I won't get many benefits. It's funny that I didn't go to dinner with them the next day, so I quit my job. What are you doing? "

? I laughed, and the way she was angry finally made me feel like I saw Betty with light hair when I was a child, bared her teeth, but it was simple and funny.

? "Then I'll take a photo of your resume." I didn't tell her that I had got some money from my mother and decided to be my own photography studio.

? "You know I hate taking pictures, and it's right in front of you. I can relax."

? I stood up and picked up my cell phone.

? She bent over to look at the photo, very seriously, but when I enlarged the photo to see the details of her eyes, she turned her face away like a virus.

? "Betty ..." I heard myself speak.

? "hmm ...?" She narrowed the photo, cocked her head and looked at it carefully, smiling slightly and her cheeks were red.

2 Veronica and I

October 215

? Veronica has a necklace around her neck. It is a black swan.

? I stared at the pendant intently, but she didn't pay any attention.

? A swan has a thin neck, just like her wrist. Veronica has thin wrists and ankles, and her thighs and buttocks are strong. A female body with a sense of the earth will attract men, which is a primitive desire.

? Just like why I caught a glimpse of her wrist when I was indulging in her thick legs last time, I couldn't help falling into the physical pleasure.

? "It is said that Sir Avery on the top floor of Peninsula Hotel has the most beautiful river view around the Bund." Her eyes briefly moved my face from the French menu.

? "I want to get married." She suddenly said seriously.

? I was a little stunned. I thought she was asking me for the first time, but I didn't know if I should continue.

? There are many men who can repeatedly express their current thoughts and impulses, but I can't do it for Veronica.

? Being a full-time photographer these days, I have become more and more accustomed to talking to each other through my eyes.

? Veronica's eyes tell me that what she just said doesn't seem to be out of some kind of desire, but there is a kind of longing, just like when some people hold their cheeks and imagine that they really want happiness, it is a short escape from reality.

? "Well, if only there was a valid marriage certificate in the world." She seems to guess
