梁山伯与祝英台 2

Liang Shanbo and I spent three years together, studying, laughing, running, and talking.

We called each other “ my brother from another mother! ”

After three years, Liang Shanbo had to go away to college. I joined him in walking part of the way to his new town.

“ I will hide in your room! ” I joked. “ No one will notice me. I will be a worm, curled up in the corner. ”

Liang Shanbo laughed. “ I know you don’t take up much room, ” he said, putting his strong arm around my shoulder and giving it a squeeze.

“ But you’re no worm in a corner, Zhu Yingtai, ” he said. “ You’re a caterpillar, not a worm. ”
