The classroom of Y High School was the quietest only at this time. The setting sun had faded away, and the scenery outside the window was slowly shrouded in darkness. Gu Feng and Jing Yan had already left, and the speed of my hands began to speed up.
When I locked the classroom door, it was completely dark. Neon lights were flashing on both sides, and I felt even more lonely in this bustling world, alone.
There were still people walking along the riverside scenic area, bustling in groups of two or three. I was a little tired but didn't want to go home because it was too quiet. In the end, I couldn't fight the resistance of my stomach, and the rumbling sound reminded me that I was really hungry. My legs made a decision before my brain did, and I found a small supermarket with GPS.
"Boss, give me a pack of spicy noodles." I often come to this convenience store, and I greeted the boss at the counter.
A cheerful voice came from inside: "Okay! Five dollars."
I was too lazy to go in and choose, and the boss was happy to get busy after taking the money. After a while, a bowl of steaming noodles appeared in front of me. The boss was even more enthusiastic than this bowl of hot noodles, and gave me an extra sausage.
I sat on a bench outside the supermarket, holding a cup of noodles and biting into a sausage. This should be my dinner. Even if I go home, I won't have any. My dad might still be fighting with the mahjong tiles.
The bowl of noodles was soon finished, and my stomach was quiet. I burped inelegantly. I still didn't want to go home even though I was full. Looking at the night sky above my head, I counted the stars out of boredom, and suddenly a sense of sadness rose in my heart.
The stars in the sky are like my countless loneliness.
After filling my stomach, I felt sleepy again. I felt my head getting heavier and heavier, and finally I couldn't help but lie down on the table.
After a while, I vaguely heard someone calling me.
"Yi Ping'an, are you causing trouble again? Why are you sleeping on the side of the road?"
It was still the same pleasant voice, but the difference was that although it was a word of reproach, it had a hint of doting. Doting? When I was confused, the situation suddenly changed. He Xubei had something in his hand. He handed it to me and said gently, "Yi Ping'an, do you want a gift?"
I smiled and stupidly stretched out my hand... "Pah", I slapped my face, something was crawling on my face, I grabbed it twice but couldn't catch it. I heard He Xubei's chuckle, and then woke up. I looked around with hazy eyes, but He Xubei was not there. I actually had a dream.
A gust of wind gave me goose bumps, and I stood up and walked towards home.
After walking a few steps, I found that passers-by were staring at me. The smiles in their eyes told me that something was wrong. I looked at my body twice but didn't find anything unusual. Finally, an old lady came over and said, "You are such a pretty girl, why did you draw on your face? Go and wash it off! Who is 'Huohua'?"
Drawing on the face? Wait, Huohua? I'm a little confused. Can cleaning be so tiring? It doesn't make sense...
"Auntie, I don't know who Huohua is either. I just fell asleep." I pointed to the row of seats and found a black marker where I just lay. Looking at the window glass, I understood why people laughed.
There is a little turtle on my forehead!
The marker pen was new, maybe just bought. I tried to walk into the small supermarket and ask the owner. The owner told me that the pen was bought from him, and the person who bought the pen was about my age, a young man. The owner had a good memory and even described the facial features clearly. However, I quickly searched Baidu in my mind, and there was no one with this face that I knew.
Huohua Huohua… I lowered my head, kept muttering these two words in my mouth, and didn’t pay attention to the road. I just ran straight into the arms of “a wall”.
"Uh, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it!" I reached out and rubbed the place where I bumped into, apologizing continuously, but in my heart I was complaining about my luck today.
"What? You bumped into someone and still want to take advantage of him?" The wall spoke.
"Huh? How can you say that? I'm not..." I didn't dare to say the next words, because I realized that my hands were in the wrong place - why was I pressing on a man's chest? People who didn't know me would think I was a nymphomaniac!
"Also, why are you looking at me all the time? Do you know me? Or..."
The person opposite me looked at me with a sly smile, and his eager eyes seemed to be sincerely expecting my answer. But I really don't know him! Yi Ping'an, Yi Ping'an, you must check the almanac next time you go out! I was anxious and panicked, and a face magically overlapped with the person in front of me - how could this be so consistent with the person who bought the pen?
"Okay, so it was you who drew the turtle on my face! Tell me, is 'Huohua' you?" I thought I had the guts to borrow some courage from heaven, as I actually grabbed his collar and questioned him loudly.
"Hey, you've learned to put the blame on someone else? It was obviously you who bumped into me on purpose because you saw how handsome and stylish I was and wanted to strike up a conversation with me, so how come I ended up drawing a turtle on your face? Well, this turtle really suits you well!" The guy opposite smiled jokingly.
"Just tell me whether you are 'Huohua'?" I asked again.
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" The other party's nonchalant look is really annoying.
I was a little annoyed. It was embarrassing enough that I was fooled by such a pervert I didn't know today. I screamed and scratched him. The man on the other side didn't expect my action and stumbled and almost fell.
He smiled and turned to run forward, and I ran wildly behind him. The two of us ran and chased each other on the street, one in front and one behind, and finally we both collapsed on the ground in exhaustion.
"Now you admit that you are Huohua! Tell me, why did you tease me?" I asked him while panting.
He looked at me and smiled: "You are indeed my pursuer, but your way of pursuing me is really special."
I think if there is a shamelessness competition in this world, this person would be the champion.
After I had rested enough, I stood up and asked him why he made fun of me.
He told me that he was in a bad mood and had an argument with his family, so he ran out. He saw me sleeping outside the supermarket and wanted to play a joke on me.
"Is there anyone like you? We are not familiar with each other." I said to him with a pout.
"You must not know that you look ugly when you are asleep? What's even uglier is that you are still smiling when you are asleep!" He leaned towards me and said in a low voice, "In order to prevent the cityscape from being affected by you, I have to add some color to you myself."
"So you drew a turtle for me?" After resting for a while, I stood up and patted my butt, thinking that this guy was really boring.
"What? Are you leaving? Are you angry?"
"Go home and wash the turtle!" I walked a few steps and turned back and said, "Don't follow me."
