A slightly incomplete round of pale moon hangs high in the sky above Haicun. The woods standing quietly on both sides are bathed in the clear light of the moon. Hei Zai arrived at the door of Mingzhu's house. This time he decided to woo Mingzhu again, but he couldn't find any excuse to knock on Mingzhu's door. He hesitated back and forth outside the door anxiously.
Since returning home in the evening, Mingzhu has been looking lost. Recalling the days when she studied with Hei Zai, she kept asking herself whether she liked this boy. However, when she remembered that her neighbor's friend Wang Fen also liked Hei Zai, she felt conflicted.
After dinner, Mingzhu helped her mother with the housework and returned to her room. She pulled out a letter from the drawer. When she opened the letter that had been stored for a long time, lines of elegant handwriting came to her eyes again:
Pearl:
Hello!
I remember the first time I saw you, it was dusk and you were wearing a red sportswear. I opened my eyes wide in surprise: What a pure girl! Like the protagonist in Qiong Yao's works. I was tightly attracted to you, and from then on, my blank emotional world was heavily touched by you. Every time I meet you, I can't help but want to look at you, even just for a moment. When I meet your eyes, I feel like I have gained great satisfaction. I remember that one time, you lowered your head to talk to others, and I couldn't find your eyes that looked like water-cut autumn eyes. I felt as if I had lost a precious gift and couldn't help myself. Until I start looking for opportunities to get close to you. It's funny, I always try my best to find a chance to talk to you. Thank God for letting me know you!
Mingzhu, when you are deeply in love, sometimes people can be silly, and the words they say are also silly. Do you think it's funny? When I think of laughter, your cute doll-like face seems to appear in front of me, with a bright smile, laughter, or smile, which makes me feel like I have lost my soul. You are so holy, talented, beautiful and generous! Your shadow appears in front of my eyes every moment, accompanying me. I think I have fallen in love with you. I wonder if you are willing to accept my advances? But it doesn¡¯t matter, I won¡¯t hurt you, you can treat me as a friend until the day you like me!
Tomorrow is the day of the full moon. I want to ask you to go to the beach to enjoy the moon together. Can we meet at Binhai Fantou at seven o'clock tomorrow evening? I will wait for you, even if you don't come, I will continue to wait for you until you show up!
That day, Mingzhu did not go to the appointment, but quietly hid the envelope. Today, Mingzhu was filled with excitement after reading this letter again.
"Mingzhu, do you like him? Do you like him?" she kept asking herself. Touching his chest, his heart was beating fast. At this time, Mingzhu seemed to feel an inexplicable feeling of joy and uneasiness in her heart. She just stood leaning against the window, listening to her own heartbeat in the silence. Sometimes she stretched out her hand nervously to pull the curtains, looking up at the corner of the night sky exposed among the pine trees outside the window in confusion, her eyes wandering in thought;
At this time, Hei Zai was wandering at the door of Mingzhu¡¯s house. After thinking about it, Hei Zai raised his hand and knocked on the door of Mingzhu's house with his fingers clasped tightly.
Mingzhu¡¯s mother, Yuhua, heard the knock on the door: ¡°Boom! Boom!¡± and opened the door: ¡°Who are you looking for?¡±
"Hello, aunt! I am Mingzhu's classmate. I need to see her if I need anything. Is she at home?" Under Yuhua's scrutiny, Heizai seemed a little nervous and uneasy.
"Here! Wait a minute!" Yuhua raised her voice and shouted to Mingzhu in the room: "Mingzhu! Someone is looking for her!"
"Who is it?" Mingzhu asked. Yuhua's cry interrupted Mingzhu's thinking. She hurriedly collected the letter and walked out of the room.
"Hei Zai!" Hei Zai's arrival surprised Mingzhu. "Is something wrong?" Mingzhu asked with a smile.
"I, I have something to show you!" Hei Zai smiled innocently and handed a small bundle in his hand to Mingzhu. "Are you free tomorrow night?" he asked next.
Mingzhu¡¯s face turned slightly red and she nodded to him silently.
"I want to ask you out for a while, is that okay?" Hei Zai looked at her with pleading eyes. Mingzhu was thoughtful and didn't know how to answer for a while.
"It's settled, see you there or not, I'm going back first, Mingzhu!" he said.
"88" She smiled and waved goodbye to him.
"Goodbye!" Hei Zai turned and left, disappearing into the hazy night
Mingzhu returned to the house and eagerly opened the paper package. What appeared in front of her eyes were dozens of unsent letters. She picked up the first letter curiously and opened it quickly:
Who cares about the weather
Who cares about time?
I just hope that the road will continue
There is someone who is always thinking about you
That person isme
Pearl! Pearl! Pearl! I call your name all the time. Since graduation, my missing you has been as painful as an insect bite. Do you know? I tried several times not to let myself miss you, but every time my efforts were in vain. After all these years, I still miss you so much!
well! Pearl: "I leave the east and the west, but you can't leave behind!" In just a few decades of life, we don't have much time that truly belongs to us. I hope we can cherish it. Remember my love and write me a reply. Every day I am looking forward to your letter. Even if it is just a few words, tell me your situation and let my heart return to its original position! The letter will take it. Seal it and give it to Qiang Zai. I'll pick it up. Is that possible?

Hei Zai
Note: Dear Mingzhu, these letters are all words I wrote when I missed you over the years. I originally wanted to send it to you, but I was afraid it would be unsafe, so I took it back and gave it to you today. Hei Zai wants to see you. Can you come out tomorrow night? It's the same place as the last time I asked you. When you come, remember to bring a self-portrait and portrait of yourself. I want to treasure it and see you every day! You must come, see you there!
It took Mingzhu three hours to read Hei Zai¡¯s letter. His words touched Mingzhu¡¯s heart. She was so innocent that she was moved to tears.
