When I was about to graduate from elementary school, I needed to take photos when I signed up for junior high school. The school hired a photographer to take photos. We took photos in pairs. Everyone rushed to take photos. In the end, only Wu Xiaowen and I, the shortest ones, were left in our class.

.

Wu Xiaowen is a girl, about the same age as me, short and thin. She is the eldest daughter of Wu Changling, a barefoot doctor in the village. Like me, she is cowardly and introverted. She does not dare to compete in anything, so she is always left behind.

"Ha, it just so happens that there are two classmates left at the end who are about the same size. What a coincidence. You two can take pictures together." The teacher said.

"What a coincidence. The remaining two of them are the same height and thin, so they are a perfect match." The classmates were also cheering.

Hearing this, I secretly looked at Wu Xiaowen and found that she was also looking at me. Both of us seemed to have been pricked by needles. We quickly lowered our heads. My face was already red and I was so embarrassed. It wasn't that I didn't want to

I just felt embarrassed and embarrassed to take pictures with her. The more the teacher and classmates urged me, the more embarrassed and at a loss I became.

"What's wrong with you?" the teacher continued, "I just want to take a picture. Hurry up."

Several male and female classmates laughed maliciously, and several classmates rushed over to push our shoulders and squeeze us together. I felt like a willow branch in the wind, and I lost my consciousness.

The wind swayed, and there was nothing left in my heart but resistance.

"Come on, you two are the only ones left. Let's take the photo together. This is normal. Don't feel embarrassed." The photographer got impatient and began to urge, "We do this kind of thing all the time."

I couldn't shirk it anymore, so I subconsciously leaned towards the small stool. Wu Xiaowen was also pressed on the small stool by several girls, so the two of us sat on a bench very unnaturally.

"Stay closer to the middle," the photographer ordered. "Why are you classmates so thin-skinned? I've never seen you like this before. I'm just taking a photo, and I'm not asking you to get married."

As soon as the words came out, the teacher and classmates burst into laughter. I glanced at Wu Xiaowen secretly and found that her face was also red. But we still consciously leaned closer to the middle.

"Well, that's right," the photographer said. After saying that, he started to grab the camera and put it on the focus point on his left eye.

"Oh, they are getting married, and they are taking wedding photos!" Several male classmates with malicious intentions shouted. A very unnatural smile appeared on my face, and with a "click", my expression

It was completely recorded by the camera.

"Actually, even if you want to take a photo together, you can't do it. You'll have to edit it later, and you'll have to cut it into a single photo," the photographer said.

If I had told you earlier, maybe I wouldn't have been so embarrassed if I had told you earlier, I think.

A few days later, the photos came down, and they were indeed single photos. Seeing these, I suddenly felt a little regretful.

My brother asked me: "Looking at the coy look on your face when you were taking photos with Wu Xiaowen, did you fall in love with her?"

"No, no." I hurriedly defended, my face already turning red as I spoke. In fact, I don't understand what liking means at all. In the world of children, especially in my time and age, there is no such concept at all.

.But I think the word "like" is shameful and not a good word at all.

"Look," my brother said, "he said he didn't like him, and his face turned red. But don't be nervous. It's normal to like him. I also like someone in our class. There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

"

My brother is one year older than me, so I think he should know better than me what love is.

"To like someone is to feel good about them and then be attracted to them." My brother said.

What's strange is that when my brother finished saying this, my heart suddenly moved. Wu Xiaowen's thin figure and her petite but bright face immediately appeared in front of my eyes. I suddenly felt that I was attracted and felt that I was standing in front of her.

There is a light-like existence there, which makes other places appear dark. From the beginning, Wu Xiaowen had basically no interaction with him, but now it has become the focus of my attention.

My brother's words seemed to light up my youth, opened the door to my youth, and caused my youth to sprout. From that day on, I had something on my mind, feeling heavy in my heart, pretending to be concerned about a person. That

The person is Wu Xiaowen.

No matter in class, after class, or in daily life, I always observe her. The more I observe her, the better I feel about her. But I dare not show this kind of liking, let alone express it to her. I am not only afraid of

Others laughed at me, and I was too embarrassed and cowardly to help myself. I just looked at her from a distance, trying my best to hide myself, quietly feeling her goodness, and scorching my heart with my imagination of her.

Regarding this humble love, there is a term that can accurately summarize it, and that is "unrequited love".

I didn’t tell anyone this secret, including my brother and Zhang Tianjin.

"Xiaoqiang," my brother suddenly asked me one day, "do you like Wu Xiaowen?" His question shocked me, and I hesitated to answer, but not answering seemed to be acquiescing, so I said

: "I think she's pretty good."

"Do you like her or not?" My brother said in a more serious tone: "If you like her, you have to pursue her and don't hold it back. Do you know?" At this point, my brother's voice suddenly became softer and mysterious.

"What do you know?" Curiosity drove me no longer to be calm, so I asked.

"I think Zhang Jinliang also likes her," my brother said solemnly. "He is slowly approaching her. He is much bolder than you. He either lends her books to read or borrows her pens. I found out, how many do you have?"

I secretly looked at her for the first time, so I think you like her too. Since you like her, you have to chase her. Don't let her be chased away by others. If you chase her again, the cucumbers and vegetables will be cold by then. "

Hearing this, I was surprised and felt a chill in my heart. It turns out that I am not the only one who likes her. Moreover, Zhang Jinliang is taller and stronger than me, and most importantly, his family is richer and richer than mine.

A powerful father, and a big wolf dog that can bully the little bitches in the whole village.

I feel pressure that I have never felt before. Sometimes I think about it and let her go. Anyway, I don’t show it to her that I like her. But I understand that I have no chance. But I still can’t give up, because, if I don’t

At the last moment, who can say who has the best chance?

So, while my heart ached, I continued to observe her, especially Zhang Jinliang, to see what he was doing to her. I didn’t know if I should give up. But on the edge of not wanting to give up, I was entangled in nature.
