At the most helpless age, I met someone who wanted to protect my life.

In Stephen Chow's movie "king of comedy", there is a scene in which the down-and-out walk-on actor Yin Tianchou falls in love with Liu Piaopiao, a dancer. After a night of joy, the dialogue between Yin Tian and Chou He Liu Piao is quite classic. Later, the audience attached an excellent footnote to the short film: "The most helpless thing for a man is to meet a girl who wants to take care of her life at the most helpless age."

The reason why that clip is classic has aroused the buzz of many young people is naturally because there are too many similar experiences in reality.

For boys born in ordinary families, even if they are talented, it is difficult to make dazzling achievements at a young age. Except for a few geniuses or lucky ones, they all need to go through years of polishing and life training to grow up slowly.

A friend suddenly sent me that clip from king of comedy that day, and then attached that footnote. Ask me if I feel the same way.

I replied that there must be some, because many men should have that kind of regret.

he said, haven't you always wanted to collect stories? I'll contribute my story and give you a material.

after I promised, he began to tell.

My friend said that it was not only the scene of king of comedy, but also the sentence Ge You said in Let the Bullets Fly: "I was seventeen that year, and she was seventeen.".

Because when he met the girl he liked, he was seventeen and she was seventeen.

My friend wanted to be a painter when he was a child. At the age of seventeen, he left for sichuan fine arts institute with his luggage. He dropped out of middle school and never had a chance to study in sichuan fine arts institute. But he was attracted by the charm of sichuan fine arts institute, and felt that when he got there, he could meet many young people with the same hobbies, and the artistic atmosphere there was very strong, which was more conducive to his study and progress in painting.

He rented a single room near the old street in sichuan fine arts institute, and then found a job in a coffee shop in the old street. Many difficult students in the Academy of Fine Arts work and study part-time, and he works and paints part-time.

Not long after he went to work, a girl came to the coffee shop and worked as a cashier at the front desk.

they met for the first time on a night in early autumn. When he was leaving work, he hurried by the front desk and saw a thin girl with long hair, long-sleeved black coat and jeans sitting in a position near the front desk.

he hurried by, and with just two eyes, he had a special feeling in his heart. That's what he meant when he said the deer hit the heart.

The girl didn't show up the next day, until several days later, when he was at work, he suddenly saw the girl appear in the front desk. For the first time, he saw her clearly, a rather delicate duck egg face. At that moment, he felt that he had fallen in love at first sight.

after a while, the two people gradually get to know each other. My friend's affection for that girl is growing day by day. The girl is more cheerful and enthusiastic about him. But my friend never dared to explain her heart to her. My friend said that he was introverted. At that time, he was young and ignorant, so he didn't know how to chase girls. To put it bluntly, he is afraid of rejection. After all, he works together and is afraid of embarrassment in the future. Giving gifts to please gradually shows his heart, and he is short of money.

While he was hiding his feelings, another boy who worked together became warm with the girl. From time to time, the two people will fight together. Friends are even more uncertain. Because he thinks that boy is more handsome and his family is better than him. After that, his competitive capital is much less. I'm even more afraid to show my heart to girls.

One day, when the coffee shop was relatively empty, the girl went out on business and asked him to sit in the bar and watch it for a while. She wrote a sentence in a diary: "The Cowherd doesn't know what the Weaver Girl is thinking ..."

Even after many years, the sentence written by the girl in the notebook still makes her friends feel confused and unforgettable. He has been wondering whether the girl wrote that passage for him.

About half a year later, the owner of the coffee shop had to turn the coffee shop to someone else to do other businesses because of the deficit in stock trading. They lost their jobs at the same time.

In half a year, my friend felt that he didn't get much what he wanted from the Academy of Fine Arts, so he chose to go home. The girl still stayed in that city to work.

their intersection should have ended here. Friends also feel that they have already put that secret love aside. But after an online chat, his thoughts about the girl floated up again, just like a flood.

My friend said that maybe she still had coveted hope for her at that time, so she went to that city again. It's just that two people never have a chance to work together again, and they can meet every day.

At the invitation of the girl, my friend went to the girl's rental house to play. The girl lived with her sister, just when they moved to a new home. Although the house is rented, the rent of the house and the furnishings at home make friends feel inferior. Moreover, the girl has changed jobs, and her income is much higher than before. He feels that the gap between himself and the girl is getting bigger and bigger after more than a year's absence.

The girl said that we have known each other for three years.

Such an extremely common sentence makes friends count it every year since then. They have known each other for several years.

after each contact with the girl, the idea that two people are not suitable will deepen in the hearts of friends. But friends are unwilling after all. On his birthday, he made an appointment with the girl to visit her home. Two days before he went, he had been planning to confess to the girl, and secretly told himself that this time he must say what he felt. Even if there is no chance, it is better than leaving regrets.

But on that day, he walked away despondently without saying anything. Like a depressed hedgehog that can't stretch its spikes.

My friend said that he met the girl seven times that year, and each meeting was as long as a century. Seven days is the seventh century.

Later, my friend decided to go to another city full of artistic sense and decided to look for opportunities to realize his ideals there. Before he left, he decided to meet the girl again and then forget everything.

We had an appointment. When the girl called him over, he suddenly felt so bored and meaningless that he said no. The girl replied: psycho.

When he left the city, he sent a message to the girl: Maybe he will never see you again. Bless you, dear.

He said that this was the boldest sentence he had ever said to a girl, which was borrowed from a lyric.

as the years passed, they kept in touch. Every call will take a long time. But both of them are introverted, and they don't talk much. They don't say a word for a lot of time. When they think about the topic, they will say a few words. Once a friend said to her, we often talk for so long as soon as we make a phone call, but there is nothing to say.

the girl said; But I'm not embarrassed.

friends take it seriously, just like two people have some kind of tacit understanding.

About a few years later, the girl went to the nearest city to her friend's house. My friend called her with joy and said that she wanted to meet her. The girl agreed, and when she wanted to leave, the girl refused again. Later, he learned from the girl that the girl was traveling with her boyfriend.

My friend said that he actually had no other thoughts, just wanted to see her again, even at the train station where she got off, and he was satisfied at first glance. But when he left the city where they used to work together, the sentence he said may never be seen again. Bless you, dear. Just like a prophecy, he never had a chance to see her again and see her again. Even when my friend was close to the girl again, I couldn't see her because of unexpected things.

Later, both of them fell in love separately, got married and had children. My friends have made some small achievements in painting, but they are still far from being famous. He said that he could spend his whole life trying to become a painter, but his feelings could not. In fact, nothing happened between them, but they just couldn't forget the girl, who carried most of his thoughts when he was young.

He said that he had all the fantasies about girls, that they would be together one day, that he would marry a girl, that he would have their two children, and that he would grow old together. But I didn't have any illusions about her body.

In fact, in reality, he was sober, knowing that he and that girl would not have fate, so he made a complete miss for the girl in a way he was good at. Every time I meet and get along with girls, even the details are spread out on my own paintings, and together they become a picture book. Whenever the girl's figure pops up in his mind, he will take out those paintings and look through them. Cry while watching.

I laughed at my friend, who performed a secret love to the extreme. In the end, the girl may know nothing, but he moved himself in a mess.

A friend excused himself, saying that what he might really forget was the first time he met a young man and the person he liked for the first time, and he lost to the complex of youth.

I said, what if one day, you have a chance to be together?

My friend was speechless and finally replied: Impossible. If there is, I will definitely tell her that this life is only for this day.

The story of my friend didn't make me feel much chic. But it is so deja vu. There are so many such stories. Many men have nothing when they are young, but the girl they like is like a flower on a cliff, like a lofty cloud, which can only be seen from a distance, but not touched. In other words, even if you are successful in official career in the future, you will probably have a husband and a wife. So for unrequited love, what you can finally do is just eight words-worry about your life and keep your heart in silence.

after all, unrequited love is just a piece of pity that you have created for yourself. Whether it's the wonderful segment in king of comedy or the seventeen-year-old in Let the Bullets Fly. Even the faint feelings written in Izu's Dancer. It's just a shallow trace of tree rings in an ignorant age. There is no right or wrong. It's just the age we met, and we're both too young.
