I thought they would make a happy couple, but their relationship lasted for only three days. On the third day, Piggy sent Cissy a note: "I've got a question lingering in my head, and that is ‘Do you really love me ?’ I don't like the idea that you want to be my girlfriend just because you really want a boyfriend or you want me to treat you well. "
Cissy was confused, she should have replied yes, but she hesitated. "Love"is a difficult word, especially for teenagers, she knew that Piggy was fat, stingy, but he was funny as well and more importantly, she liked being with him. Was it love? She didn't know, I didn't know, so in the end, she replied:"I don't know."
The note with "I don't know " broke Piggy's heart, He didn't reply anymore. They were in a cold war.
After summer, Cissy didn't show up in school. Her father knew that her transcript was too bad to get her into any college, so he sent her to a private international school which requires nothing but money. By the way, Cissy came from a really wealthy family, I don't want to go into details here, coz it might get me in trouble. After all, Cissy went to college in Wuhan.
After Cissy left, the little gentility that Piggy developed for Cissy had disappeared completely, He didn't talk to Pinapple either, reasons unknown.
It was two years later that I saw Cissy again. She called me first:" what are you going to do during Labor Day Vacation? Do you want to come to Wuhan? I live alone now, it will be really nice if you come and accompany me. " I knew she was lonely, because she just broke up with a guy she met in college. They were a good match, Cissy's family has power and that boy's has money, huge amount of money. However, he cheated on her, I guess Cissy's self-abasement grew from that time.
I packed my belongs and boarded on highway. To my surprise, it was not Cissy but Piggy waiting for me at the train station. Piggy was really calm, he said Cissy called, so he came.
Cissy's parents had got her a big apartment in this city and we three lived together in this place for a few days. I complained to Cissy that she should've told me about Piggy first, Cissy was sorry but she said: "I had a big quarrel with my parents, and I don't have money to treat you, if I didn't find a poor fish, who will pay our bills? " I was shocked to death and I wasn't able to voice a single word. It never occurred to me that puppy love would develop to this point.
The following day, Cissy was studying at home, Piggy and I went out to visit some tourist attractions. When we were admiring the beauty of the statue of Buddha in Kaiyuan Temple, Piggy told me his secret:"I've brought all my money here, the money used for the whole semester. Cissy used to say I am stingy, but I want to show her, I've changed."
However, Piggy had underestimated Cissy's spending potential. She was not the innocent girl he knew in high school anymore. International college was filled with wealthy people from all over China, the atmosphere changed her to a different person. two days later, Piggy had spent all his money, then he bought some money from his friends, I guess he must have a tough time when he left Wuhan. When the vacation was over, Piggy went back to his college and they didn't contact each other again.
Last year, aftering spending three years in NewYork, Cissy came to Shanghai to visit me. She told me that her family immigrated to the US, so she transferred to a college in NewYork. She also told me she just broke up with a Shanghainese, they loved each other very much, but now he was marrying a Korean girl. She didn't upset.
I didn't have any connection with Piggy, but a friend of his told me he married a girl that he accidentally knocked up when he was alcoholic. Cissy cried, she said: "I loved him." After all these years, finally, she admitted.
我觉得这应该是一个美满的故事,尽管我对男主颇有微词。然而,出现了一件在成年人看来不可思议的事情。
他们的关系仅仅维持了三天。第三天的时候,猪突然写了一张字条给蓝:“这几天一直有个问题困扰着我,那就是,你是真的喜欢我么?你知道我对你很好,但我不希望,你是因为我对你好或者你想有个男朋友才来找我的,我在乎你的感情。”
蓝困惑了,她拉着我说,Q姐姐怎么办?可是我真的不知道啊,我很喜欢跟他在一起,可是我也觉得他小气,不够帅。迫于催促,蓝回了个“我不知道”给猪。
“我不知道”,这简单的四个字把猪伤得无可复加,他没有再回复,两个人处于冷战状态。
暑假过后,蓝没有再来学校,蓝家里很有钱,爸妈觉得这样下去蓝是考不上大学的,不如转学艺术,蓝也无法抗争,倒数第一的成绩白纸黑字摆在那边。蓝开始进入艺考培训,每天弹钢琴练声乐。猪因为蓝而展现出的那一点点绅士风度在蓝离开后荡然无存,他跟阿盼也再也没有交集,理由不详。
蓝后来作为高干子弟被送入武汉一所名牌大学国际学院,其实就是个三本。猪去了省城一所普通的二本。
再次见到蓝是在大二上学期的五一劳动节,蓝打电话给我:“Q姐姐,五一来武汉陪我吧,我要考雅思,一个人孤单。”那个时候,蓝刚刚结束一段感情,对方是个家族企业家的儿子,跟蓝算是门当户对吧,分手原因是男方劈腿,蓝哭了两个月,伤得不轻。我收拾行李搭上了去武汉的动车,到了火车站发现,接我不是蓝,而是猪。我惊讶的说不出话,猪笑着说,蓝问他要不要来玩,他就来了。
蓝的爸妈给她在武汉买了一套公寓,我们三人就住在这所公寓里面。我问蓝,你怎么没告诉我你把猪也喊过来了啊?“因为我跟我爸妈吵架没钱花了,你要来我没钱招待你,我不找个冤大头过来怎么办?” 我震惊的说不出话来,我没想到一段那么纯洁的青涩恋情会变质成这样。我担心猪会发觉蓝的秘密。
第二天蓝在家复习雅思,我跟猪去逛归元寺。我们一边数着佛像一边聊天,猪说:以前蓝总说我小气,这次我把这学期所有的积蓄都带来了,让她随便花。然而,猪错估了蓝花钱的能力,毕竟她不是当年那个住校的纯粹的小女生了,国际学院是个大熔炉,蓝已经蜕变,她知道金钱的力量,她也明白她想要的生活。不到三天,猪已经捉襟见肘,我们出去吃饭,每顿都是猪掏钱,而他只是个要父母供养的大学生啊。猪后来大概又问朋友借了几千块钱,他比我多呆了一天,陪蓝考试,后来他回到省城,然后他们俩再也没有联系。
两年后,蓝在舅舅的帮忙下转学到了纽约,一年后,蓝的姐姐,爸妈也通过投资移民一起去了美国。再后来,她谈了一个上海的男朋友,两个人请到深处不能自拔,蓝在手臂上纹了一只大象,而那个男生在胸口纹了蓝的微信二维码。后来他们也分手了,蓝说她不难过。
猪的消息是后来一个猪的同乡告诉我的。他说猪有一次醉酒搞大了一个女生的肚子,于是迫于压力娶了那个女生,两个人感情并不好,经常吵架。
