Still remember "Among the Girls We Chased in Those Years" The dialogue between Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi after the earthquake?

"Do you believe there is a parallel time and space? Maybe in that parallel time and space, we are together"

"I really envy them" because I want to be with you too. ...

01

Xiao Lin and Xiao Min were friends who had known each other since junior high school. They were in the same class until high school.

In the senior year of high school, when everyone was seriously preparing for the college entrance examination. Xiao Lin seemed unhurried, because he had his own little thoughts.

Xiao Lin found that he liked Xiao Min. When he got along with Xiao Min, although they were just talking and laughing, he found that in his heart, he had an indescribable affection for this girl.

Everyone will do some stupid things when they fall in love with another person. The stupid thing Xiao Lin did was to doze off in class every day. The teachers are always confused and don't understand why Xiao Lin is always so sleepy in class.

Of course the teacher would not know about Xiao Lin's carefulness. If he dozed off in class, he would be called to the back row to stand and listen to the class until he woke up from his drowsiness. Xiao Lin especially likes to stand in the back row, because Xiao Min's seat is behind him, and you can see her beautiful back when you go to the back row. He felt that at that moment, it was his happiest moment.

Of course, Xiao Lin did not abandon his studies just because he liked Xiao Min. Xiao Min's grades were pretty good. Every day in his senior year of high school, Xiao Lin regarded Xiao Min as his motivation to move forward. He wanted to enter the same university as her. Therefore, every time Xiao Lin wanted to go out to play, and when he looked back and saw Xiao Min looking serious, he lost his mind and continued to work on the papers.

Xiao Lin has always hidden his love for Xiao Min very well, and no one has discovered it. Because he had been getting along with Xiao Min like an ordinary classmate, most of his senior year was spent doing questions, so Xiao Lin took the opportunity to talk to her during the time when he asked Xiao Min questions. Talk conversation.

02

The senior year of high school was very fast. Before Xiao Lin could react, it was the day of the college entrance examination.

Regarding the memory of the college entrance examination, Xiao Lin does not have many impressions in his mind. He only remembered that it seemed to rain a lot that summer. Even the two days of the college entrance examination were rainy and rainy. It feels very depressing.

After the college entrance examination results came out, Xiao Lin performed normally, but Xiao Min, who always had better grades than Xiao Lin, unexpectedly failed due to personal reasons. After Xiao Lin learned about Xiao Min's results, he went to Xiao Min's house to ask her about her future plans. Xiao Min told him that she had decided to repeat her studies and had just signed up for the repeat class the day before.

In fact, Xiao Lin originally wanted to repeat his studies with Xiao Min. He wanted to accompany her through this difficult year. But he also knows his own level. There should be no room for improvement after another year of study, and his test results may not be as good as this time. Therefore, he gave up the idea of ??accompanying Xiao Min to repeat his studies.

The day before he went to the university to report, he went to the school where Xiao Min was repeating his studies to find Xiao Min. He wanted to tell Xiao Min his feelings. But when he saw Xiao Min listening carefully in the classroom, he walked away silently. He didn't want to disturb Xiao Min at this time or distract her.

03

The first year of college was torturous for Xiao Lin. He really wanted to contact Xiao Min and ask her how she was studying and how she was doing at school. But he was afraid of disturbing her, so he pressed the button every time he called her.

Finally, it’s time for the college entrance examination again. Xiao Lin is happier than anyone else because he can finally reveal his hidden feelings to Xiao Min.

However, what came from the other side of the phone was that Xiao Min was already with another boy. Xiao Lin, who was holding the phone, didn't know what to say for a moment. He endured his heartache and said his blessings.

Xiao Min did well in the second college entrance examination. On the day to celebrate the success of the college entrance examination, Xiao Lin also went. He saw the boy, the boy who snatched Xiao Min away. At the same time, he also saw the happy smile on Xiao Min's face. He couldn't remember how much he drank that day.

04

Xiao Min has a boyfriend, but it does not affect her friendship with Xiao Lin. The two of them will still chat on social software as usual, but Xiaolin will keep some distance appropriately, and he won't say anything that shouldn't be said.

Xiao Lin once got drunk and told another high school classmate about his thoughts. The classmate asked him why he didn't chase her earlier? Xiao Lin didn't say why. Xiao Lin only knew that as long as Xiao Min was happy. He didn't care if he was with her or not.

One day in his junior year, Xiao Lin received a call from Xiao Min. The voice on the phone was very low, as if he had just cried. Xiao Min told him that she broke up with her boyfriend and heard this. Xiao Lin didn't say anything. He kept listening to what Xiao Min said. He thought that she would feel better now that she had said everything. That day, he and the others were on the phone until late at night.

During the summer vacation that year, Xiao Lin stayed with Xiao Min for a whole week. He went out with her to relax, eat, and do the things she wanted to do with her.

Many people thought that Xiao Lin was Xiao Minxin's boyfriend, but neither of the parties involved admitted it.

When Xiao Min was no longer unhappy because of his broken love, Xiao Lin said to Xiao Min the words "I like you" that he had wanted to say for a long time. When Xiao Min heard this, she just remained silent and didn't say anything.

The moment Xiao Min turned around, Xiao Lin told Xiao Min that if one day, she found that she also liked him, she could call him and tell him.

05

After all, Xiao Lin didn’t wait for Xiao Min’s call. However, the friendship between the two did not become awkward because of that sentence. Xiao Lin and Xiao Min still go out to eat and watch movies together as they did in the past.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and no one mentioned the incident of Xiao Lin's confession, as if it had never happened.

Later, Xiao Lin and Xiao Min both experienced love and break up. On the night of Xiao Lin's graduation, he dialed Xiao Min's phone number. He told her all about his love for Xiao Min over the years. He said that he had liked her since high school. He said that even after all the subsequent events, he still liked her very much. However, the answer to him on the other side of the phone was silence.

Xiao Lin, who did not get an answer, changed the topic and asked Xiao Min.

"Do you believe there is a parallel time and space? Maybe, in that parallel time and space, we are together. "

"I really envy them. Thank you for liking me," Xiao Min finally answered him.

"I also like that I have liked you so much these years," Xiao Lin said with a wry smile.

06

After Xiao Lin graduated, he never contacted Xiao Min again, and Xiao Min never took the initiative to contact him.

Until one day, Xiao Lin received Xiao Min’s wedding invitation. Only then did he find out that Xiao Min was getting married.

Xiao Lin attended Xiao Min’s wedding. That day, Xiao Min, wearing her wedding dress, was so beautiful that Xiao Lin couldn't take his eyes away. But his heart still lacked the same beating as before.

Seeing Xiao Min smiling so happily at the wedding, Xiao Lin seemed to have returned to the day when he attended Xiao Min's college entrance banquet. Xiao Min also smiled happily that day.
