“The relationship we never talk about is so close, yet it isn’t love.”, "Best Friends"
A BE story about two lovers who missed their chance. BE! BE!
Ji Cun Zhen:
Have I ever resented that we’re only friends? No.
Maybe it’s because we’ve known each other for so long. She’s been by my side through the most precious years of my life. We know everything about each other, so well that “old friends” hardly sounds different from an old married couple.
One day, while we were spring-cleaning at home, she suddenly said, “Zhen Zhen, we have to grow old together.”
Of course.
It was these tiny, ordinary moments, time and time again, that told me holding hands was steadier and more lasting than kissing.
She is my friend forever.
I don’t want a fleeting moment.
He Meng Zhang:
I once had the same dream twice... though perhaps they were a little different.
In the first, she kissed me. In the second, I kissed her.
The only thing they had in common was that both dreams were false.
She never calls me Meng Meng. She always calls me Meng Zhang, sometimes He Meng Zhang. The closer she feels to someone, the more she likes using their full name. She’s always been like that.
Of course I like hearing her call me that. I like watching her part her lips slightly, revealing one crooked, distinctive tooth.
My name proves that we’re the best of friends, bosom friends.
And yet I’ve thought countless times about the moments she called me Meng Meng.
And about the kisses in my dreams.
Love makes you drown.
What Zhen Zhen said was a lie: she did resent it.
Meng Meng’s dream was real: Zhen Zhen really did call her Meng Meng, but she would never know.

I finally finished reading it. The author's capture of life and the characters' inner thoughts is really exquisite. Although some parts are so detailed that it makes me a little annoyed, but you are great. However, feelings without a long mouth are too uncomfortable. I think this approach is very wrong, but it is also understandable. After all, everyone has been through that kind of time. At the age of 15, she pushed the bicycle with one hand and hung it on my shoulder with one hand, walking towards the school gate as usual. It was completely dark that day, and she asked very calmly: xxx, do you like me? I was so confused that I forgot what I said. Anyway, there was no "yes". At that time, I felt that even a single word could kill me. Later, we went to different high schools and different universities. I was lucky enough to become very popular, and various people told me they liked me in various ways, but I never had the chance to hear the question that made me tremble. After finishing graduate school, we accidentally added WeChat (a communication tool that had not yet been born at that time), and we forgot who added whom. But we never spoke a word again. It's not that we didn't dare to mention it, it just faded away. But if time and space can be dislocated, if she asks me again, I will definitely answer "Yes. Yes. Yes." So what? Even if it's just my one-sided emotion, so what? If true love cannot be acknowledged, is a false friendship worth maintaining? Young people, please speak louder. YOLO
It turns out that they gradually drifted apart. It wasn't that they didn't send messages once or twice, or that they didn't want to talk about their plight. The more disappointed they became, the more they gradually became numb. It was really like a wind that swept through Mengzhang's entire youth. When she wanted to feel the summer breeze again, she was left alone to savor the coolness. Alas, when I read the Cunzhen chapter, I felt that it was not easy to preserve the truth. When I read the Mengzhang chapter, I felt that it was not easy to write the Mengzhang. [Hold your chin]
It's a bit sad, and it reminds me of her in a ptsd way, but... The world doesn't need so many right and wrongs, and I sincerely hope that everyone can live happily ❤️ It's been a long time since I read the author's article, and his writing style has improved a lot. It's over 🎆 Looking forward to the new article 🌈
Wow, this article is so different, it feels like "youth has no price, madness is in the moment". Cun Zhen's thoughts still come up one after another. Meng Zhang will not interrupt Cun Zhen's thoughts, but thinks about the possibility of realizing those thoughts. It turns out that Mengzhang is also looking forward to the moment when he and Cunzhen are together. When Cunzhen holds the cake and slowly walks to Mengzhang, he suddenly thinks of it and suddenly looks back, that person is there, in the dim light. Meng Zhang can be greedy and pursue every moment of your life greedily. Why are the dream chapters filled with beautiful memories and the true chapters filled with cruel reality?
Why does Chunzhen not have the courage to confess? Is it because she doesn't sense Mengzhang's love, and she doesn't know what weight she holds in Mengzhang's heart. She doesn't have enough confidence and is willing to stop being a friend just to be on the safe side.
I have kept this book in my collection for a while, because after reading the introduction, I felt that the characters' personalities were a bit like mine and my friends', so I didn't dare to open it. After reading it in the past two days, I found that there are indeed many similarities, so I can understand their respective thoughts and behaviors. The author writes very realistically and empathizes with the details about graduation, renting a house and working. After going to work, I often wonder why people live like this. After taking medicine twice, I decided to change my mentality and environment. However, the difficulty of working in Beicheng still shocked me, a deep-city cow horse. Calculating carefully, she and I have been friends for more than thirteen years, which is already more than half of our current life. I think we don't discuss our relationship because we hope to remain good friends, but we each have different life themes. We both plan to leave this year. From now on, there will be a distance of 15,000 kilometers and a time difference of ten hours. The adult world is too difficult, the only thing we can do is to be more grateful and cherish it. Thank you to the author for writing this story, and I wish you a happy new year!
Finished with fireworks 🎆 No matter what the outcome is, do what makes you happy~
Let's talk about heroes over wine, and the overlord will come from my generation.
Chapter by chapter, it was too real and helpless that they were separated.
I feel like my innocence has changed a lot between going to school and going to work. When I first entered the workplace, I also felt the huge gap between the roles of students and cows and horses. Good night, innocent classmate, let's work together 😚
