058 Unprepared
As soon as the girl touched his gaze, she lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at him.
Zhong Yue thought it was quite interesting to see her so shy. This reminded him of himself when he was in junior high school, and like her, he was particularly shy when he saw strangers and said something unscrupulously.
"Of course it's true. I remember that there were photos of our first class students when they graduated from the principal's office. If you look for it, you will definitely find me there." He turned around, and talked to her while playing basketball.
Sure enough, the girl was much more relaxed without being face to face. She was a little suspicious and whispered, "I just visited the principal's office a few days ago, and there seemed to be no photos."
"Is it gone now?" Zhong Yue said with some regret, "Yes, it's been so many years, and the principal has probably changed several times. It's not surprising that he has picked it."
Seeing that he was easy to talk to, the girl asked boldly, "Are you the brother of Lili's sister's boyfriend?"
"Cousin." Zhong Yue corrected her, "Can you tell me your name?" Before he knew it, he kissed in a tone that looked like a child.
After waiting for a while, he turned around without hearing the answer. Seeing her lowered her head, looking at her toes without saying anything, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
The girl glanced at him quickly, as if she mustered up the courage and said, "I'm not a child..."
Only then did Zhong Yue realize that her tone was a little wrong, but she didn't expect that she was so sensitive and didn't know what to say for a while. She suddenly became a mess.
After a while, Huang Qiuxun and the others came back from buying drinks, which finally helped Zhong Yue get rid of the embarrassment.
After Zhang Li distributed the drinks to everyone, she discussed with her sister Zhang Xin where to go. Huang Qiuxun suggested, "The weather is good today, so why not go to a self-service barbecue. I know there is a barbecue in the suburbs." After that, he asked Zhong Yue's opinion, "Brother, what do you think?"
"Okay." Zhong Yue didn't want to go home, so it didn't matter where he went.
Zhang Li cheered, "Yeah, go to the barbecue." She walked over and grabbed her friend's hand, "Zhengzhen, you go too."
The girl looked at them with a little hesitation on her face.
Zhang Li immediately understood her doubts and looked at Zhong Yue with a begging look, "Second brother, can I ask my classmate to follow me?" She had a lot of eyesight, and in a few words she could tell who had the final say here.
Zhong Yue naturally would not refuse, "Okay, there are more people and more lively."
After the negotiations, they went to the supermarket to buy drinks and then drove to the barbecue.
…………
After playing for a day, it was already eight o'clock in the evening when Zhong Yue sent them back. After sending them off with Zhang Xin's sister, Zhong Yue asked Zhang Li's classmate, "Where is your home?"
The girl lowered her head and said, "On the square."
Realizing that she was feeling a little depressed, Zhong Yue didn't ask much and said, "It's just the way."
Huang Qiuxun cares about this classmate of his girlfriend’s sister, “Is it okay if you’re going home so late?”
The girl shook her head and looked out the car window, not wanting to talk.
Huang Qiuxun didn't ask anymore and sent a message to his girlfriend with his cell phone.
Soon, I arrived at the street where the girl mentioned. It was very close to Zhong Yue's house. I turned around another intersection and arrived, which was only more than 20 meters away.
“It’s right here.”
The car stopped, but the girl did not move.
"What's wrong?" After waiting for a while, Zhong Yue was a little surprised and turned around to ask her.
The girl turned her head, and the lights in the car could only shine half of her face, and she said softly, "I don't want to go home."
"What?" Huang Qiuxun didn't hear it clearly and asked again.
Zhong Yue heard it and recalled all her performances today. He had some speculations in his heart, but he couldn't say much.
"Sorry." The girl opened the car door, got out of the car, hesitated for a moment, and then walked to the front door.
When Zhong Yue saw that she seemed to have something to say, he lowered the car window and heard the girl say seriously, "My name is Han Zhen."
After the girl finished speaking, she turned around and ran across the road and entered a house.
Zhong Yue watched her walk into the room and was suddenly stunned.
"Why is Zhang Li's classmate so strange in character?" Huang Qiuxun was complaining, and when he saw Zhong Yue's expression was a little wrong, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just remembered something." Zhong Yue withdrew his gaze and slowly started the car.
…………
After sending Huang Qiuxun home, Zhong Yue drove the car, and some long-standing memories came to his mind again.
He was actually a pretty precocious person. When he was in the fifth grade of elementary school, he began to have a vague affection for the opposite sex. At that time, he fell in love with a girl who was three years older than him and was in junior high school.
That was the first time he fell in love with a girl.
The girl's house lives on a street next to her. Every day after school, he would go around in a circle and pass by her door, hoping to meet her.
When she comes to the store to buy things, it is his happiest time, and he can look at her up close.
This secret love lasted until he went to junior high school. After he entered junior high school, he rarely saw that girl, as if she had not gone to school after graduating from junior high school.
Until one day, he saw the girl again, the difference was that she had a big belly.
The impact of that scene will never be forgotten by him.
Later, he heard some neighbors say that after she graduated from junior high school, she followed a man and got married not long after. Later, the girl's family moved out and the house was empty, all for more than ten years.
Until today, he looked at a girl who was vaguely similar to the girl from that time and walked into the house.
"Is it her daughter?" At that moment, he felt that things in the world were so absurd that he caught him off guard.
……………………
When Zhong Yue returned home, all the relatives who came to pay New Year's greetings left. Only the two parents were left watching TV at home. Seeing him back, Liu Guifang asked him if he had eaten.
"Qiu Xun and I have eaten." Zhong Yue sat next to his mother and asked, "Mom, the fifth house on the street next to him has been empty before, why are there people living in it now?"
"Fifth room?" Liu Guifang thought for a moment, "Oh, you mean that the family named Zhang, their family has moved out long ago, and now it seems that their daughter's family is living."
Zhong Liangxing interrupted and asked, "Who is the surname Zhang, who is the surname Zhang?"
"In the past, there was a clinic on the first floor, do you still remember?"
"Oh, it's the old Zhang who got married when his daughter was fifteen." Zhong Liangxing remembered, "What's her daughter's name? Zhang Hewen, I heard that his husband likes to gambling."
"Isn't that? Now the couple opens a small shop on the first floor to sell some grain and oil. Both women are looking at the shop. The man is drunk every day. When he comes back, he asks his wife for money and will beat people if he doesn't give it. Alas, he is also a miserable life." Liu Guifang said, sighing.
Zhong Liangxing said, "That can only be blamed on herself. She doesn't read a good book and insists on getting married. The tears she shed now are all the water that entered her mind back then."
When Zhong Yue heard his always serious father say such words, he wanted to laugh a little, but he couldn't.
