有个男朋友叫怒子 I had a boyfriend named Anger

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛When I drifted from one small town to another small town with my family, I met a little boy sitting by my side, a huge head with a big smile propped by his skinny tiny body. He asked me to call him Anger.

We were grade four at that time, still no big difference among the little ones. Just one week, intimacy was already built up to share the secrets and happiness.

Anger can talk with his nose, eyes, ears and even hair. They never stopped playing their parts of the funny jokes, folk songs, and mysterious predictions, which thrilled him so much!

As a consequence, Anger was always criticized of making too much noise. Actually, it should be someone else to be blamed. It was the titter in the little girl’s eyes made him so noisy!

Whenever we were warned of separation, his volunteer spirit of tidy up the whole classroom was always persuasive. And he never forgot to remind Mr.Tu that I was the best helper he could ever ask.

We sat together close to one year, a lot of amusement and surprises. Time just ran away so quickly, and we didn’t know we finally ended up as strangers.

Here are some anecdotes may interest you.

1. A living broadcasting joke

There was a singing contest in the class for the celebration of National Day, which definitely drove him to his high. Never learnt how did he got so many folk songs composed by Wang, Luoping. From morning to the afternoon, my ears were stuffed with all his practice. He finally chose “在那遥远的地方” on his own opinion, telling me that this song expressed his voice and feeling best.
He was the last one on the stage, which he requested so deadly. His first bow almost made him fall over to the ground, touching off a sudden burst of laughing. He seriously narrated how the song was composed and took a deep breath of his start…

He gained the longest applause and never been so hot in the air. But this was not the crest. Before his second sincere bow, he cleared his throat again and formally thanked the girl sitting by him as his first listener and announced this was their common option of his effortful show.

Oh, my goodness, not the worst like “This song is for…”, which would be sounded very scary at that time. But anyway, he did throw another nuclear bomb in the laughing flooded class.



2. There was no coldness that year

My hands got swollen and bruised with the coming of the winter, which made me feel so embarrassed and tried to hide them in the sleeves. But I guess, it triggered Anger’s desire to compare the warmth of our hands.

He finally got the chance to grab them and hold them tight in his chest. His sudden capture shocked me and made us all laughingstocks to everybody again. The next day, he brought his father’s gloves and warmed them up every time when my hands turned them cold.

There was no coldness that winter.

3. My first fortuneteller

Anger learned some skills from his grandpa, a fortuneteller. And he couldn’t wait to try on me.

He coaxed me again, again and again stressing it was so fun to know the future. Finally I forgot all the lessons of being laughing bombs.

Looking careful with his seemingly professional eyes, Anger suddenly spurted into wild laughter. He spined around telling everybody that I would marry twice, which was shown from the lines he saw on my right hand palm. The words flushed me and got me a name “Double Marriage”.

It was the last heavy joke we had. I was totally irritated and swore at him “Hey, if I would marry you, that could be the case!” then, he got a name “Marry you!”

Our class teacher Mr. Tu finally separated us. This time, Anger’s volunteering enthusiasm to tidy up the whole classroom didn’t work.

When he was packing up with a lost mind, it was the first time I knew that Anger could be quiet.

Pretending ignoring his hateful staring, a sweet smile flitted over him to my new partner with an unutterable word “See, you made it happened!”

I couldn’t recall his new partner. Anyway, after then, we became strangers. He was so arrogant and kept ignoring me among his group of friends and laughing so loud whenever we encountered.

“Ok, never mind. You got your friends and I got mine. And there’s no loser again!”

We didn’t get the chance to talk anymore and we were separated to different schools soon.

Many many years later, when I was hand in hand with my hubby, walking in the old street of that canal town, I saw again a big smile shining top of a tall build accompanied by a petite girl. His sights cast on me and fleeted to my him when we crossed.

“Hey, could have been with you, if you had stayed!… Oh, you don’t want to be ‘Double Marriage’!”

“Marry you?! You want double marriage? – No way!”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey, tell me what could have happened if this little girl had stayed? I guess guy’s ego is actual more brittle than girl’s. Anger turned away since the girl smiled to another, which is just a purposely revenge. Things got worse when they stopped talking. In order to look like a winner, they all pretended that they were fine of staying alone.
Life turned to be a new episode for both of them. He got his trunk and she started to bloom. Her new partner is also a very attractive one quite different from Anger’s style. When she is grown up, that boy kept visiting her and inviting her for dinner with a group of friends. She waited, waited and waited till finally someone took her.

Of course, Anger never stops his attractiveness. Who is the happy and lucky girl finally staying with him now?更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

    • Pretty good story, pretty good English. "had had stayed", also "volunteer spriit" does not make much sense but we all understand it. I wish I could have been as sharp when I had checked my own posts... *_* .

          • Sorry. I'm not looking for a battle. "Snooty" and "snobbish" are in two directions, there is no overlaps. We actually are looking for recognition right?

      . Though the childhood swift far away, we still keep the best memory in our heart. The naïve and frank friendship is still deep here along with us… Life is like writing CD, we can not re-write it. But we still wonder what will happen if…
    • 以前没注意,现在才发现,老外就有姓Anger的,赫赫。
      • Anger is a very native Chinese boy. I just want to tell this story in another version.
