It is Sunday, and I am reluctant to get out of bed. The snow outside has stopped, and I am unsure whether to go or not. Just then, my phone rang, startling me awake. "Hello, Brother Jie, have you arrived at Lijing Park? I'm starting from home now and will be there in about twenty minutes. Don't leave without me." After Situ Yanan hung up, I held the phone to my ear in shock for five seconds. How did she get my number? It's almost time to meet, so I have no choice but to face it and get up.
When I stepped outside, it felt much colder than when it was snowing yesterday. No wonder the teacher said that after snowing, it feels colder than when it snows. Once outside, I started jogging and quickly warmed up by the time I reached the entrance of Lijing Park. Looking at the sign for Lijing Park, I adjusted my clothes and walked in with a feigned nonchalance. In the distance, I saw Situ Yanan wearing a cute Meng Yang wool hat and a kawaii white down jacket paired with pink high-top boots. She was stamping her feet and hugging herself to keep warm; it seemed she had been waiting for a while.
"Yanan, have you been waiting long?" I called out to her. When Situ Yanan saw me arrive, all the pent-up frustration burst out: "Xiang Jie, don't you have any sense of time? Do you know how long I've been waiting here? You..." Situ Yanan yelled at me. I listened until she finished venting and then walked over to her softly: "Yanan, are you done? If you're done, let's go over to that pavilion and chat." After hearing this, Situ Yanan let out a sigh: "Phew! Let's go then." She grabbed my hand and led me over.
Once seated, I got straight to the point: "Yanan, just say what you need to say; we should clear everything up." It was best not to continue this unclear entanglement and misunderstanding; this silly girl really shouldn't like me.
"Well then, I won't beat around the bush anymore. Xiang Jie, listen carefully: I, Situ Yanan, like you and have liked you for a long time. I'm sure you must have known this already. In the past, you were deeply in love with Xia Ying; I stayed in the shadows. But now that both of you have given each other freedom... so... I want to confess to you, Brother Jie. Please let me be your girlfriend, okay? When you're unhappy, I'll be there for you; I'll share your joys and sorrows..." Situ Yanan said shyly as she lowered her head. Hearing this warmed my heart; what a silly girl. I smiled knowingly: "Yanan, do you really think I'm worth such devotion? What do you see in Xiang Jie?"
"Worth it! The person I, Situ Yanan, like will not be easily given up!" Situ Yanan replied confidently. It was clear she was a strong-willed girl; girls like her are more likely to get hurt because they invest too much in their feelings.
As I fell into thought, Situ Yanan continued: "Brother Jie, do you know? From the moment we started bickering with each other, I've had feelings for you. You're really great; I admire your loyalty to Xia Ying and how carefree you are when playing basketball. You look incredibly handsome when you're running on the court! I love your sunny personality; in short, everything about you is great!" After saying this, Situ Yanan gave me a determined look. What a wonderful girl! But I couldn't deceive her; slowly I said: "Yanan, let's just be siblings. I'll take good care of and protect you as my sister..."
"I don't want that! Brother Jie! Please give me a chance! How about this: give me a month as a trial period to win you over. On the fifth of next month, you can decide whether or not to date me. How about it?" Situ Yanan looked at me with pleading eyes; her big watery eyes paired with her slightly pouting lips made her look particularly innocent.
"Yanan, why are you so stubborn? I'm really not worth your craziness; I'm not a good man." Looking at this girl made my heart ache a little. She shook her head: "No! I think you're exactly my type! Alright then, one month is the deadline! During this month, you can't treat me like a sister; try treating me like a girlfriend instead—I'll do the same." Situ Yanan stood up and leaned down to look into my eyes: "Xiang Jie classmate, look forward to my love!" With that, she quickly pecked my cheek and turned to run away. Suddenly feeling flushed with embarrassment from her kiss left me speechless. Watching her run away in that heavy outfit made her seem quite cute; her personality reminded me so much of Xia Ying—no! Even more than Xia Ying! If all the girls I met were like her, it would be perfect; she brings me a sense of security and comfort without feeling tired—she's the type that's very understanding.
When I returned home and just closed the door, my mom asked where I'd been. I told her that I'd gone out with A Fei. "Come on now! You can't even lie properly! You just went out for less than ten minutes before A Fei came looking for you! After you left, A Fei went home to watch TV—how could you two have gone out together?" My mom rebutted. A Fei really messed things up for me! Just as I was thinking about how to explain myself when someone knocked on the door. I hurried over to open it; as soon as I opened it A Fei walked in.
"Jie! Where have you been today..." A Fei started as soon as he entered. I quickly put my finger to my lips signaling him to be quiet and whispered: "We just hung out together."
"Jie! Who's here?" Mom shouted from the living room. After hearing what I said A Fei responded knowingly: "Oh Aunt Xiang, it's me." Then we walked in together; sure enough Mom asked A Fei if he knew where I'd gone. My heart raced as I looked at A Fei wondering how he would answer; for some reason this time I didn't even have the courage to lie.
