Chapter 2 Part 1: Pen pals who will meet soon

Many magazines have a column asking for pen pals.I don't know who first thought of pen pals. No matter who created it, the creator must have had a deep research on psychology. People like to imagine, and people's imagination is endless. Making friends through correspondence can give people's imagination room to play.Two people who were never acquainted with each other can become acquaintances through writing letters. When they understand each other very deeply, even if they are face to face, they can still not know that the other party is their friend. Satisfy people's masking psychology.

People like to open their hearts, but at the same time hope that no one knows who they are.Many crimes without purpose are based on this psychology.And because the other party of the communication may not be able to meet with oneself at all, the conversation between pen pals is sometimes more frank than that of friends who meet every day. The age at which you like to make pen pals the most is of course related to the age at which you like to fantasize the most: according to statistics, it is about fifteen to eighteen years old. Gao Caihong happens to be sixteen years old this year. Gao Caihong is Bai Su’s cousin. In the year I got married, she was still a little girl who hopped around and only liked to eat ice cream and soda. Actually, she must not be connected with the little girl from a few years ago.

Caihong is very lively by nature, knows everything that is popular, and she also likes to make pen pals. I don't have many chances to meet Rainbow.I am her cousin-in-law, and she is somewhat reserved when she sees me; I guess she is not very happy to see me, but she and Bai Su have a very good relationship. On that day, Rainbow made an exception and walked in front of me. I was reading a newspaper on the balcony.The weather these past few days is very abnormal, stuffy and humid. It's strange to have such weather in winter. Rainbow came to me and called me. I smiled at her: are you here?Go after dinner and play with your cousin for a while.

Between me and her, it seems that there are only a few words that can be said, but often, she must happily agree, turn and walk away.But today, her attitude was a bit unusual. She called me again, and then said: There is something I want to discuss with you. I put down the newspaper: just talk! She blushed a little, with a very shy expression: Cousin-in-law, I have a friend who will come to see me tomorrow. What she said sounds nonsensical. She has a friend who will come to see her tomorrow. What does that have to do with me?Why do you want to consult with me?But I didn't say anything, just smiled and encouraged her to go on.

Rainbow continued: I have never met him, cousin-in-law, we met through letters. Oh, it's a pen pal.I see. Yes, pen pals.Rainbow Road. Rainbow, I thought about it for a while: If it’s a pen pal, it’s best not to meet. Many pen pals don’t communicate with each other after they meet. Rainbow opened his eyes: Will there be such a situation? Of course, and it is very common. Pen pals are maintained by imagination, and there is often a large distance between reality and imagination, so after meeting, it is I didn't say any more, Rainbow is a very smart girl, she will naturally understand what I mean.

Rainbow lowered her head, and after a long while, she sighed: But, cousin-in-law, I must see him. I was a little unhappy, said in a deep voice: Why? Rainbow's cheeks turned red: because I love him. I froze for a moment, and asked loudly: What? Maybe it was because of my sudden rhetorical question, which was too loud, so the rainbow startled the boss and hurriedly backed away.At this moment, Bai Su came out, supported Rainbow, and then complained to me: "Look at you, Rainbow kindly asked you to discuss it, but you gave her a big jump. She treats you as her elder brother, so she turned to you." You speak your mind!

I couldn't help but smiled wryly, and thought to myself, if I have a younger sister and she said such ridiculous things to me, I must give her a slap first, and then slowly teach her a lesson! However, Rainbow is not my younger sister, she is not even my cousin, but Bai Su's cousin, of course I can't hit her, but I can never show indifference to her like someone who has nothing to do with me, besides, I can't hide the funny feeling in my heart. I laughed in a very strange tone: so it is like this, you fell in love with him, the boys nowadays are so lucky, there will be a girl who has never met before falling in love with him, Rainbow, but even seeing him is not enough. I have never seen him before, what kind of love is this?

I asked myself that my accusation was the most justifiable, and Rainbow must have felt that her so-called falling in love with him was extremely absurd. However, I was completely wrong! Because when Rainbow heard me ask her like that, she immediately opened her eyes wide, and looked at me as if I was an alien weirdo, and then shook her head as if I had made an incurable mistake.Then, she sighed: Unexpectedly, you are not old, but your thinking is completely outdated, you know?People like you are moldy! She suddenly accused me like that, which made me angry and funny at the same time: Moldy?Or, compared to you, I am naturally not so fresh, but I hope to hear your fresh opinions.

Rainbow waved his hand, and put on a speaker's posture: You asked me just now, and I have never even met, what kind of love is that, right?This kind of questioning is a musty way of asking, it was love at first sight in the Middle Ages, now, do you still talk about it? I'm still laughing: So, it's time to fall in love with a stranger? Not at all, cousin-in-law, you should know that love is the exchange of emotions deep in the heart, the deepest and most penetrating emotion of human beings, and it should touch the depths of the soul, not the surface.And a person, even if I look at him for twenty hours a day, what I see is still his appearance, but not his inner heart, right?

I didn't expect Rainbow to be so talkative, so I had to nod. Rainbow said again: But, I have been a pen pal with him since I was thirteen years old. During the three years of correspondence with me, he has made me understand him thoroughly, understand his heart, why must not meet him?Why can't I love him? Rainbow's words sound convincing, but they belong to the theory of supremacy of love. I don't believe that if her pen pal is a deformed weirdo, she will still maintain her kind of love. But one is because of her serious expression, and the other is that Bai Su is winking at me frequently, so I gave up the idea of ​​sarcasm her, just smiled and said: You are very moving

Unexpectedly, this sentence also attracted Rainbow's objection, and said loudly: What makes me say it movingly?Do you think love is determined by sight, not by the heart? I couldn't help laughing, but I still held back: Okay, then we should start from the beginning. You have a pen pal who has been communicating with you for three years. You have fallen in love with him, and he naturally loves you too. He will come to see you tomorrow You, then, I don't see that this matter has anything to discuss with me, but you say you want to discuss this matter with me. Rainbow hesitated, but did not make a sound, Bai Su said: Rainbow wants you to accompany her to pick up the plane! I laughed: Want me, a moldy person, to pick up the plane with her?Not so good for her fresh lover to see, right? Rainbow stomped his feet, and said angrily: Cousin-in-law! I saw that her face was flushed, she was really anxious, and hurriedly said: Rainbow, don't worry, I was just joking with you, but why do you want me to pick him up together?You must have agreed on what logos to wear so you can identify each other, right? Rainbow frowned: Cousin-in-law, it’s hard for me to explain why, but you have experienced many strange things, so I think I need to discuss it with you. After I heard it, I was even more puzzled. What's so weird about it?I just can't figure it out. Rainbow saw that I was hesitating, so she said: I will let you read the last letter he gave me first. I knew that things must be a little unusual, so I hurriedly said: Okay, what did he say in the letter? Rainbow opened her handbag and took out a letter. She was very anxious: he wrote to me in a very orderly manner, but this letter was not only illegible, but also a bit incoherent. I have reached out to take the letter and pulled out the white letter paper. It is indeed an extremely scribbled letter. The following is the full text of the letter: Rainbow, they will not let me come to see you, but I must come to see you, I must come to see you, you are my beloved, how can I not see my lover?If their blocking is unsuccessful, then I can see you on the 8:00 am flight on the 12th, of course I hope you come to the airport, or I can't I can't say anything, they have been blocking me , but I don't think they will make it, may they not make it, may all bless me to see you.El, yours. I quickly read the whole letter, then looked up: as if some people did not let him come to you. Rainbow nodded and said: It looks like that, but in the past three years, Yi Le has never mentioned to me that someone can stop him from moving. I don't understand, I said: Is he just a person?For example, his parents, or his guardian, or was he a moldy man like me, who disapproved of him traveling thousands of miles to see and fall in love with a girl he had never met? No, no, Rainbow immediately said: Yile has no parents, he said he didn't even know who his parents were, and he didn't have a guardian, he said six people took care of him. He is a rich man? I think so, Rainbow said: Otherwise how could he have six people to look after him?But cousin-in-law, I didn't fall in love with him for this reason, I hope you understand this. I have no doubts about this point. I thought about it for a while and said, "Have you ever thought that those people who want to prevent him from coming to see you, the so-called them in Yi Le's letter are the six people who took care of him?" Rainbow shook his head: I don't know, I never thought that his actions would be blocked by others, and I never imagined that he would be such a courageous person that his actions would be changed because of others' obstruction , he will definitely come! I could see that when Rainbow said that sentence, his attitude and expression were very serious.I asked again: So, in your imagination, what kind of person should he be? When Rainbow heard this, the anxious expression on her face immediately subsided a lot, and a strange radiance appeared on her face. She said: Yile is almost a perfect person, he knows everything, his rich knowledge is beyond my description, I think you will like him after meeting him. I laughed: You speak so well of him, then I must see him.Okay, I'll get up early tomorrow, you come to my place first, and then we'll go to the airport together. Rainbow couldn't help being a little worried: Cousin-in-law, do you think he won't be able to make the trip in the end? I said: But I can't predict it, you should understand this better, because you know him well, and you have his photo? Rainbow shook his head: No, we haven't exchanged photos. I frowned: Then, why did you recognize him? Rainbow thought for a while: I think I can recognize him as soon as I see him. For some reason, I have this feeling that even if he is among ten thousand people, I can recognize him. I didn't say anything more because I understood why the rainbow felt that way. The reason why she felt that way was because she had been communicating with Yi Le for a long time, and over time, with her own imagination, she shaped Yi Le's image.Although shaping the successful Yile in her mind is only her imagination, she stubbornly believes in this imagination. Meeting pen pals often leads to tragedies, because the distance between imagination and reality is very large. However, I am not very worried about Rainbow and Yile, because Yile is always a well-off, diligent and knowledgeable young man no matter what.In other words, Yi Le's actual situation may not be too far from Rainbow's imagination. I just said: Okay, do you remember to come early tomorrow morning?Rainbow and Bai Su left the balcony together, I continued to read my newspaper, but I found that I couldn't concentrate, so I put down the newspaper and looked into the distance. The mountains in the distance are blocked by dense fog, forming layers of hazy mountain shadows, which look very beautiful, but the buildings on the mountain are completely hidden. I suddenly feel that the mood at the time of the rainbow must be the same as mine. She had a friend named Yile, and she even fell in love with him, but she had never seen what Yile looked like, and Yile was hiding in the thick fog! I stretched myself, hoping that at eight o'clock in the morning, after the plane arrived, the dense fog would dissipate and we could all see Yile.
