Four years later, Gangwon City.
What Su Peile didn't expect was that in just four years, she would realize the meaning of the passage of time.
After the fire four years ago, her parents' marriage finally came to an end. Her mother came to Gangwon, and she and her father stayed in Songchuan. Later, her mother remarried and gave her a half-brother. Now, her father remarried, and she was kicked back to her mother like a ball.
A lot has really changed in these four years, but the only thing that has not changed is the pair of hands that never left her side during the fire, especially the boy's appearance, which has always been deeply imprinted in her mind.
Four years ago, when she woke up, she was already in the hospital, with only her parents by her side, and no one knew the whereabouts of the boy who rescued her. Fortunately, the fire did not cause any deaths, but many children were injured. It was a blessing in disguise that Su Peile was not burned, thanks to the boy who risked his life to save her.
As long as they are both alive, we will meet again one day.
For some reason, in the past four years, Su Peile has always had such expectations and fantasies. Every day, she would imagine that he would suddenly appear on a street corner, and then she would say to him with a smile: "Hi, how are you?"
She thought the boy's face would be filled with a smile as bright as the sun.
Whenever he thought of such a scene, Su Peile couldn't help but curl his lips.
The glass windows of the building opposite reflected the bright spring sunshine, the dazzling light stung her eyes, and she realized she was standing in a daze in front of Carrefour's door.
She was still holding the shopping bag in her left hand, but something was missing in her right hand.
When she thought of this, she broke out in a cold sweat. Today, her mother and stepfather both had to work overtime, so she brought her two-year-old brother Yangyang to buy snacks. She was holding his little hand just now, and she was so distracted that she didn't pay attention to where Yangyang went.
Su Peile looked around nervously and finally found Yangyang running to the side of the road chasing a balloon that was blown away by the wind. The green light at the intersection ahead just turned on and traffic was heading this way.
“Yangyang!”
She yelled in panic and rushed over. But Yangyang was only focused on the balloon flying higher and higher above his head, and his legs had already reached the sidewalk.
There was a fork in the road next to it, and a small truck happened to be driving by. The driver saw the child in front of him and hurriedly honked the horn. Although he stepped on the brakes, the car still slid forward due to inertia.
The terrified Su Peile could no longer shout, and his legs suddenly felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't lift them.
At the critical moment, a blue figure rushed over. It was a young man riding a racing car.
His body drew a graceful arc in the air and rushed to Yangyang's side. With a stretch of his long arms, Yangyang was held in his arms. The wheels of the racing car made a harsh sound when rubbing against the ground, but it just avoided the oncoming pickup truck.
Fortunately, there was no harm.
“Waaaa…” Yangyang started crying out of fear and kicked his legs in the arms of the young man who had just saved his life.
"Hey, don't cry!" The boy saw the little thing in his arms that looked like a glutinous rice ball crying with its mouth open, and stopped him with disgust.
Su Peile, who had just come to his senses, hurriedly ran to the boy's side, stroked his pounding chest, and thanked him breathlessly: "Thank you, if it weren't for you just now..."
The boy turned around and interrupted her, impatiently handing Yangyang, who was crying in his arms, to her: "Auntie, take good care of your child."
Aunt?
Does she look that old?
“This is my brother.”
Su Peile started to explain, but when her eyes fell on the boy's stern face, she was stunned.
The face that I had been thinking about for the past four years now overlapped with the face of the boy in front of me. He had fair skin, fine bangs hanging down in front of his forehead, delicate and handsome features, a compelling heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and a faint cynicism in his eyes.
Although four years have passed, and although there is no warm smile on his lips as I remembered, his sunny and handsome appearance is clearly the grown-up appearance of the boy four years ago.
Could it really be him? He actually came to Jiangyuan City?
For a moment, Su Peile was so excited that he could not control himself and forgot that the boy was holding his crying brother in his arms.
Seeing that the trouble in his arms was not taken over by the girl, and that the girl with two tacky braids was looking at him with her big round eyes like a fangirl, the boy said even more impatiently: "Hey, why are you daydreaming? Isn't he yours?"
After he called out to her, Su Peile finally reacted and quickly reached out to hug Yangyang. The young man also lifted his feet from the ground and prepared to ride away.
However, just as he was about to leave, the handlebars were grabbed by someone. The next second, a pair of slightly narrowed eyes stared at the hand, and a hint of danger was revealed in the deep gaze.
Su Peile trembled for a moment when being stared at by such a gaze, and she only held him because she was anxious.
However, the boy she stopped was obviously angry, frowning and asking angrily, "What are you doing?"
"Thank you." Su Peile's mind was blank and he didn't know how to start, but his eyes were still fixed on his face.
The boy rolled his eyes at her and said, "Hey, you already told me, no need to thank me, keep an eye on the kid and don't let him run around."
"Oh, then, what's your name?"
"You don't need to write me a letter of praise."
"Then, don't you recognize me?" she asked softly and cautiously.
"Are you a big shot? Why should I know you?" This girl must be crazy. The boy didn't expect that his meddling would cause such trouble. He was inexplicably entangled by a crazy girl.
Did she not leave a deep impression on him? Or did he recognize the wrong person?
Su Peile hesitantly let go of his hand, then smiled sheepishly and said, "Oh, you look familiar to me, like someone I've met in Songchuan City."
The boy looked her over and asked, "Are you from Songchuan City too?"
also?
When Su Peile heard him say the word "also", he immediately asked in surprise: "You are from Songchuan City? Then were you in Songchuan four years ago?"
When the boy heard her ask this, his face suddenly turned ugly. His question just now was completely said subconsciously. He didn't want to continue to entangle with her, so he ignored her question, stepped on the pedal of the racing car, and left quickly.
"Hello!"
Su Peile wanted to chase him, but Yangyang, who had just calmed down in his arms, started crying again.
She had no choice but to coax her brother first, and her eyes followed the blue figure again. At the corner of the street, the spring breeze blew up his blue coat, and the corner of his coat slid out a flowing arc. That arc seemed like a paddle, creating waves on the lake of her heart.
That direction leads to her residential area. Could it be that he lives near her house?
Su Peile's disappointment instantly turned into joy. It must be him. She didn't expect that what she prayed for in her heart would come true. Although she didn't know his name yet and didn't know how he came to Jiangyuan from Songchuan, none of this mattered. What mattered was that they met again due to fate.
She believed that they would meet again.
A few days later, Su Peile's transfer procedures were completed. The school she transferred to was the famous Mingxin Middle School in Jiangyuan City. It was a star school that cultivated many outstanding students every year. Since Su Peile was an award-winning outstanding student in Songchuan City, the transfer procedures to Mingxin Middle School were passed with the green light.
This made her stepfather, Gao Jin, a well-known lawyer in Jiangyuan City, very proud. On the first day of school, he insisted on driving her to school in person. Her stepfather loved her mother and her very much, so Su Peile got along well with him and waved goodbye to him at the school gate.
She walked into the campus with her schoolbag in her arms and a happy mood.
The air is filled with the fragrance of early spring soil. The vitality of all things reviving and returning to the earth fills this modern and fashionable campus. The greenery that comes into view brings warmth and hope to people's hearts.
The uniforms of Myeongsin Middle School are also very beautiful. Boys wear navy blue casual suit pants with white shirts and ties, while girls wear navy blue suits with white shirts and dark red plaid skirts. In Gangwon City, it is a very impressive thing to wear the uniforms of Myeongsin Middle School.
Su Peile put on the school uniform given to her by the logistics teacher and walked behind her class teacher. From the quiet outdoor corridor, one can overlook the vast campus of Mingxin Middle School. Under the spring breeze, the entire campus presents a thriving new green.
The head teacher walking in front of her was a woman in her 30s, well-maintained and graceful. She was wearing a pair of high heels that were at least 8 cm high, and her heels clanged in the quiet corridor. The fast but not chaotic pace made Su Peile inexplicably nervous. How would she introduce herself to the new class? Would the new classmates be easy to get along with? A lot of questions troubled her.
A few minutes later, the head teacher took her to the door of Class 2A, Grade 2.
As soon as Su Peile stepped into the classroom, she felt dozens of inquiring eyes looking at her. She held the strap of her schoolbag nervously and looked at her toes awkwardly.
The head teacher stood on the podium, looked at the students with a smile and said, "Today we have a new student transferred to our class. From now on, you will live in a group. You must help each other. Now let the new student introduce himself."
The head teacher led the applause.
Hearing a burst of crisp applause in the classroom, Su Peile took a deep breath and raised her head. Dozens of classmates in the classroom were looking at her. Her face couldn't help but turn slightly red, and she didn't know where to focus her gaze.
At this time, among the neat and uniform navy blue school uniforms, the boy sitting at the last table by the window who was not wearing a school uniform and was out of tune with the aura of his classmates attracted Su Peile's attention.
He was wearing a sky blue sweater with a white T-shirt underneath. The blue, pure as the sky, made his skin look even cleaner. His black hair was as black as ink, and the bright sunlight outside the window fell on his head, as if it was coated with a dazzling halo. He rested his left elbow on the windowsill, clenched his left fist and rested his cheek, closing his eyes to rest, but the noisy applause just now seemed to disturb his peace, and he frowned slightly.
Su Peile recognized the handsome face at a glance. He was the racing boy who saved Yangyang last weekend.
She stared at him intently, barely able to contain her excitement. Although she had thought about meeting him again, she had not expected it to happen so soon.
"Student Su, please introduce yourself." Seeing that Su Peile was still in a daze, the head teacher reminded her again.
"Ah?" Su Peile responded stupidly, which made the students below laugh out loud.
She was a little shy, then cleared her throat: "Hello everyone, my name is Su Peile."
"Haha..." The students below laughed even louder than before.
She blushed a little. This name had caused her a lot of jokes since she was a child. However, she had gotten used to it over the years and didn't care about everyone's laughter. She still looked at the boy with his eyes closed and continued, "I'm from Matsukawa City, which is known as the City of Green Pine Trees. I'm glad to meet you all."
She deliberately emphasized the three words "Matsukawa City", and sure enough, the boy sitting at the back suddenly opened his eyes.
Looking at those eyes that were as solemn as cold stars, Su Peile's heart suddenly sank. His sensitivity to Songchuan City, did it mean that he was also from there? Thinking of this, she became even more excited, and her fingers trembled slightly unconsciously.
The boy glanced at her indifferently, feeling that she seemed somewhat familiar. He thought about it carefully and remembered what happened last weekend. He couldn't help but frown again, then put his arms on the table and simply lay down to take a nap.
"Lu Mowen." The head teacher read out a name, not caring at all that a student was blatantly sleeping in class.
A very gentle boy wearing glasses at the third table in the second group raised his hand.
The head teacher smiled and said to Su Peile: "You will sit at the same table with him from now on. He is the study committee member. You can ask him about the classes you missed in the first half of the month."
"Thank you, teacher." Su Peile bowed to her, walked down the podium, and took off his schoolbag as he walked.
The boy named Lu Mowen looked at her with a smile and moved his stationery and books that took up too much space on the desk to her.
As he walked over, Su Peile took another look at the boy's seat. He was the only one in that row. There were no stationery or books on the desk. Even the desk was separated from the seats of the students in front of him. It seemed that he must have a very special position in the class.
She put her schoolbag on the chair, but found that the table and the chair were squeezed by a fat girl in front of her. Su Peile hesitated about how to ask her to move forward. At this time, the handsome boy sitting behind her suddenly said: "Han Jingjing, move forward. The new student can't get in. You are taking up too much space with so much flesh."
As soon as he finished speaking, the students around him burst into laughter.
The girl named Han Jingjing seemed to be used to being talked about. She turned around and gave Su Peile a naive smile, then moved her chair forward.
Su Peile felt that this handsome boy was a bit mean. As a boy, he shouldn't make fun of a girl's shortcomings like this.
She took a look at him and couldn't help being struck by his appearance. He had short, slightly curly hair, slender eyebrows, a straight nose, and beautiful lips. He actually had a charming look. At this moment, there was a playful smile on his lips.
This boy is so handsome, but people are afraid to approach him.
She avoided his sight, and her eyes unconsciously looked at the seat by the window. The sleeping boy was beautiful and quiet, just lying there quietly, as if he had amazed the time.
There was no class for the homeroom teacher in the morning, and Su Peile was distracted by observing the boy. He slept so soundly that he slept throughout the first two classes. However, his classmates and teachers seemed to be accustomed to his behavior.
"What's the name of that classmate who doesn't wear school uniform and keeps sleeping? Why doesn't he listen to the class?" Su Peile finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and quietly asked her deskmate Lu Mowen.
Lu Mowen pushed his glasses up on his nose, glanced at the teacher who was asking a question, and quickly answered, "His name is Li Zhengyu." After that, he carefully glanced at Li Zhengyu behind him, and added in a low voice, "It's enough for you to know his name. It's better to stay away from him."
"Why?"
Lu Mowen put his finger to his lips and made a "hush" sound. He stopped talking and listened to the teacher attentively.
Su Peile shifted his attention to the young man again. It turned out that his name was Li Zhengyu.
After four years, she finally knew his name and was able to be so close to him again. She couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in her heart. The hands that had tightly grasped her in the chaos and the thin shoulder that gave her security seemed to reappear in front of her.
Although she hadn't gotten confirmation from him yet, her increasingly strong premonition told her that it was him, there was no doubt about it.
As she was thinking, the boy who had been sleeping sat up, stretched out his arms and yawned. This abrupt movement did not affect others, and everyone seemed to treat him as air.
The only difference is Su Peile.
When he looked over with a slightly confused look, Su Peile gave him a big smile, a bright smile from the heart, and even with a hint of joy of regaining what had been lost.
Li Zhengyu suddenly widened his eyes, feeling a little awkward about her behavior, but Su Peile still smiled faintly and looked at him intently . He simply looked out the window. The spring sunshine was particularly bright, and everything from the distant roofs to the nearby playground was bathed in a golden light.
The weather outside is really nice, but look at this lifeless classroom, and... there's that strange person in the front right.
"Bang", a loud noise came from the corner of the classroom.
The students and teachers who were in class all looked towards the source of the sound, only to see Li Zhengyu with his hands in his trouser pockets, glancing at the chair that had been knocked over because he stood up too quickly.
Without changing his expression, he coldly ordered the boy in front of him: "Put up my chair later." After that, he turned and walked towards the back door of the classroom, completely ignoring everyone's gazes.
Su Peile looked at his watch. It was not time to end the get out of class yet. Why did he leave? The teacher on the podium just turned around with a sullen face, holding the chalk and continued to write on the blackboard.
"Huh..." After Li Zhengyu walked out of the classroom, the classmates around Su Peile all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
She was curious, why did everyone react like this?
After class, the handsome boy sitting behind Su Peile suddenly snorted, "Li Zhengyu is really getting more and more outrageous."
"He is not unreasonable!" Su Peile did not expect that he would refute him at the first time.
Her voice attracted the surprise of her classmates. The handsome boy tilted his head and looked at her and asked, "Do you know him?"
Does this count as knowing each other? Su Peile hesitated to speak.
"Transfer student, please don't be a fangirl."
Although it is not right to have a bad relationship with classmates on the first day of transferring to a new school, the boy's words did make Su Peile very uncomfortable. From making fun of Han Jingjing for being fat to despising Li Zhengyu, she had a very bad impression of him.
Su Peile got excited and blurted out: "Why is a boy so stingy and speaks ill of others behind their backs?"
As soon as the words fell, the whole class burst into laughter. The handsome boy's face flushed, and there was some anger in his eyes. Lu Mowen carefully tugged at her sleeve and said, "Student Su, Xia Ying is actually a girl."
What, girls?
Su Peile stared at her in amazement. She looked too androgynous, and even her voice sounded boyish. She quickly apologized with a red face: "I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were a girl."
After these words were spoken, the laughter in the classroom became even louder.
Looking at Xia Ying's fallen face, Su Peile really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
She never expected that she would make such a big joke on her first day of school. She also learned from Lu Mowen and Han Jingjing that it was common for Xia Ying to be mistaken for a boy. Because of her beautiful androgynous appearance, she had caused many misunderstandings. When she was a new student, a girl from another school gave her a love letter.
After finishing his lunch in the cafeteria at noon, Su Peile didn't want to go back to the classroom so early because of the embarrassing incident in the morning, so he wandered around the campus.
March is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, and this city, famous for its peach blossoms, is planted with various varieties of peach blossoms everywhere.
There is an artificial lake in the college, and a peach forest is planted on both sides of the lake. Some of the peach blossoms are just beginning to bloom in the wind, smiling sweetly; some are in bud, half hidden and half exposed. In the spring breeze, they are like jade and brocade, pink ones are like dreams, and red ones are as gorgeous as blood.
Because it was lunch time, many students gathered by the peach forest to appreciate the flowers in groups of three or five, making it very lively.
Su Peile originally wanted to find a quiet place to sit and enjoy the flowers, but when she saw Xia Ying and Han Jingjing walking towards them, chatting and laughing with a few girls, she felt a little embarrassed when she thought about what happened in the morning, so she walked to the playground next to her from another road. Mingxin Middle School has two playgrounds, one is the track and field field, and the other is the basketball court in front of her.
At this time, there was a boy playing basketball alone on the basketball court. Su Peile walked closer and saw that he was Li Zhengyu.
She noticed a sky blue knitted sweater draped over a bench by the playground, just thrown there casually, with one corner of the sweater hanging on the ground.
She walked over, picked it up and put it back on the bench.
With a "bang", the basketball hoop shook, and Li Zhengyu made a beautiful slam dunk. He stayed on the basket for a while before jumping down.
He shook his hair to get rid of the sweat beads in his hair. The sweat beads sparkled like crystal beads in the sun, his skin showed a healthy rosy color, and his facial features became more handsome and distinct.
Even though he didn't have the warm smile that Su Peile was dreaming about, he still had that sunny handsomeness, as if he had an inextinguishable passion and aura.
Perhaps only a Li Zhengyu like this can protect her calmly and decisively in the face of disaster.
Li Zhengyu, I believe that you are him. If it weren't for the pull of fate and the bond of destiny, how could there be such a sense of déjà vu and a feeling of familiarity at first sight...
When Su Peile was staring at Li Zhengyu in a daze, Li Zhengyu also noticed her. He had recognized her as the sister of the child that day. He remembered that when she looked at him that day, she had this infatuated expression.
He walked and clapped the basketball in his hand. He just tried to help, but he didn't expect to get into such trouble. He was getting more and more angry. Every time a girl stared at him like this, he would feel like a monkey in a zoo being watched.
Ignoring her, Li Zhengyu continued playing with his basketball and threw the ball into the basket, but the angle was wrong and the force was too strong, so the basketball hit the backboard and bounced out.
"Ah..." A boy passing by was hit not far in front of the basketball hoop.
"Are you blind?" A boy passing by covered his head and started yelling without seeing who it was.
"Who are you scolding?" Li Zhengyu shouted angrily, his suppressed anger was suddenly ignited, and he strode towards the boy.
The boy raised his head while rubbing his butt. When he saw that the person approaching was Li Zhengyu, his eyes were slightly startled, but were immediately replaced by anger.
His name is An Qun. He is also one of the problem students of Mingxin Middle School. He is one year older than Li Zhengyu. Ever since Li Zhengyu, who is more arrogant than him, entered Mingxin Middle School, although the two of them are not incompatible, they have kept their distance from each other. However, An Qun still has many dissatisfactions with him. He is very dissatisfied with letting a brat younger than himself show off in Mingxin Middle School.
Now Li Zhengyu dared to hit him on the head with a basketball. Whether it was intentional or not, it was a provocation.
"Who are you saying is blind?" Li Zhengyu pointed at An Qun's nose with an aggressive tone.
"Who am I talking about? Don't you think you can hear me?"
The two of them started arguing with each other. Su Peile thought they were just arguing for a few words, but she didn't expect that they both had very bad tempers and soon started pushing each other. She hurried over.
She didn't know An Qun's identity, she only knew that Li Zhengyu had offended a tall and strong boy and was afraid that he would suffer.
Before she ran close, the scene she was most worried about happened. Li Zhengyu actually started the fight first. He raised his foot and kicked An Qun. But An Qun was prepared, dodged sideways, and kicked Li Zhengyu with a roundhouse kick. These two people were good at fighting, and they entangled with each other with punches and kicks.
"Li Zhengyu, stop fighting!" Su Peile completely ignored the fact that the two men were much taller than him and tried to squeeze in the middle to separate the two men.
Unfortunately, An Qun suddenly kicked Su Peile in the lower abdomen. She screamed in pain, lost balance and fell backwards, sitting on the ground. Her throat was salty and she couldn't shout out anymore.
Li Zhengyu didn't expect her to come and stop the fight, and he didn't expect An Qun to hit a girl. Seeing Su Peile sitting on the ground with a twitching face, he was stunned for a moment.
This lapse of consciousness gave An Qun an opportunity. Li Zhengyu was instantly punched in the face, and he staggered.
"Li Zhengyu!" Su Peile struggled to stand up and looked at him worriedly.
"Get out of the way!" Li Zhengyu yelled at her, scaring her so much that she took a few steps back.
An Qun kicked him again, but he dodged nimbly and then did a back kick.
Only then did Su Peile realize that it seemed that these two men both knew Taekwondo. Although Li Zhengyu was hit by a punch just now, he was gradually gaining the upper hand.
Because it was lunch time, many students and teachers were walking around the artificial lake to appreciate the flowers. Su Peile's shouting attracted their attention. Someone nearby quickly ran over and saw that the two of them were fighting. The timid students stopped and did not dare to come over to dissuade them.
"Stop it! Stop!"
Finally, a few senior boys rushed up and pulled An Qun away.
Then, the furious Dean of Academic Affairs came over, pointed at the two people who were separated and scolded: "What's wrong with you two? How dare you fight under my nose? Are you rebellious?"
Li Zhengyu glanced at the furious Dean of Academic Affairs indifferently, not wanting to pay any more attention to him, and turned his head away.
"He hit me first." An Qun pressed the wound at the corner of his mouth and pointed at Li Zhengyu.
The Dean of Academic Affairs looked at Li Zhengyu again and said angrily, "I don't care what relationship your family has with the dean. Li Zhengyu, you have been violating school rules, gathering to cause trouble, and disrespecting teachers. I will not let you off today. Call your parents immediately!"
“My parents are not in the country.”
"Call you grandpa! I don't believe that there is no one in your family who can cure you!"
"My grandpa is not available."
"You..." The director's face turned red with anger.
At this time, a low voice sounded: "Director, Li... Li Zhengyu didn't hit anyone first. Yes, he was the first to hit."
This voice surprised the students who were watching, and even Li Zhengyu looked over in confusion.
Su Peile said this with great courage, not daring to raise his head at all.
"You are lying. It was obviously him who started it first." An Qun roared angrily.
Su Peile shrank his shoulders in fear, but soon he mustered up the courage to say, "What I just saw was that you... were the first to hit Li Zhengyu."
"You naughty girl!" An Qun seemed to want to rush over here.
The Dean of Academic Affairs held out his hand to stop him and shouted angrily, "An Qun, do you still want to hit a girl? You are getting bolder and bolder."
"Hmph!" An Qun pointed at Su Peile coldly, "Remember this, I will settle this account with you sooner or later!" After saying that, he turned around, pushed his classmates away and left.
The Dean of Academic Affairs became even more annoyed and shouted at his back, "How dare you threaten your classmates? What's your attitude? Stop! Hey, you dare to leave before I finish talking!"
Seeing that An Qun had no intention of paying attention to him, the Dean of Academic Affairs turned his anger on Li Zhengyu again: "No matter who started it this time, next time you fight in school, I will make you pay!"
Li Zhengyu's gaze passed over his head and fell into the distance, not taking his words seriously at all.
The Dean of Academic Affairs was so angry at his disdainful look that he stamped his feet and gave him a stern lecture before leaving.
The classmates around were whispering, and Li Zhengyu glanced over with a solemn and murderous look. They quickly shut up and left, leaving only Su Peile standing aside.
Li Zhengyu walked to the bench, bent down, picked up his coat and put it on. Su Peile was still following behind him, watching his every move carefully.
She asked with concern: "Li Zhengyu, um, are you okay?"
Hearing her voice, he suddenly turned around and looked straight into her eyes. His deep eyes were like a pool of deep water, which made Su Peile's cheeks hot.
He took a step closer to her, but Su Peile's body was stiff, staring at him blankly. Faced with his domineering aura, she showed a hint of timidity in her eyes, and even couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Li Zhengyu looked at the weak girl in front of him, pursed his lips and asked unhappily: "Why are you scared now? You dared to give false testimony for me just now... Don't think I will be grateful to you. On the contrary, I hate you for meddling in my business."
Hearing what he said, Su Pele pursed his lips and asked him tentatively: "Do you really not remember me?" Four years is not a long time. His memory can't be so bad that he can't remember anything at all?
"Are you mentally ill? When you saw me you asked me if I knew you. Why should I know you?" Li Zhengyu got angry again.
Su Peile took a step back unconsciously.
Li Zhengyu saw the basketball not far away and raised his leg to go over to pick it up, but then he stopped as if he remembered something and glanced at her coldly: "You'd better take care of yourself. An Qun is not someone you can easily mess with. Be careful that he might cause you trouble. Don't think that if you help me this time, I will stand up for you and I won't meddle in your business." After that, he walked away without looking back.
Su Peile looked at his back, feeling a little uncomfortable with the blockage in his throat. He rubbed his still painful abdomen with his hands, and his eyes felt sore for a moment.
Fish Leong's "Joy" was playing on the campus radio.
"You are the angel on my shoulder. You appear when I am most uneasy. You hug me tightly with your warmth and broad wings, making my heart calm. Can it go on like this forever..."
This song really touched her mood.
After all, four years have passed, people will change, or maybe he encountered something that made him unhappy.
For example, her parents divorced and she had to move from Songchuan to Gangwon.
Thinking of this, my depressed mood disappeared.
"So you were helping that bastard to lie!" Suddenly, a clear voice sounded behind Su Peile. She turned around abruptly in fright, only to see Xia Ying looking at her with interest.
Han Jingjing, who was beside Xia Ying, was holding half a cup of jelly in her hand. She was eating and grinning at her. It seemed that the two of them had been here for a while.
"Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?" Su Peile looked at her warily. If she heard it, would she tell the teacher?
Xia Ying walked towards her leisurely, sat down on the bench confidently, and stretched out her legs.
Su Peile was very curious, wondering if Xia Ying liked being a boy, so she was still wearing pants when all the girls were wearing school skirts. However, people who didn't know the truth would really think she was a boy who was too pretty when they saw her.
Xia Ying looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "Why did you help him lie? Did you know Li Zhengyu before?"
"Yes, but he doesn't seem to recognize me anymore."
"Oh? Then how did you two meet?"
Su Peile looked at her and didn't want to hide anything, so he answered directly: "We met in Songchuan City four years ago."
Xia Ying nodded and said, "Yes, Zhengyu was indeed in Songchuan four years ago."
Hearing her say this, Su Peile's eyes lit up and he said happily, "Yes, he was a very responsible and warm boy at that time, you also know that?"
"Warm?" Xia Ying sneered, and Han Jingjing, who was eating jelly, almost choked.
"Was Li Zhengyu like that four years ago? I haven't seen him. Since I met Li Zhengyu, I have never felt that he is like what you said. He is a complete jerk. I advise you to stay away from him."
"You misunderstand him, you don't understand him." Su Peile retorted.
Han Jingjing stared at her with wide eyes, then looked at Xia Ying.
Xia Ying laughed, her eyes and eyebrows under her short hair were surprisingly beautiful. She looked at Su Peile and said, "As his girlfriend who dated him for five months, I know him better than you."
Su Peile's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at her in surprise. Xia Ying was actually Li Zhengyu's girlfriend? Suddenly, she felt mixed emotions, and her eyes became complicated when she looked at Xia Ying.
"Don't look at me with such envy, jealousy and hatred. That's the past. We've broken up for half a year now. Besides, being Li Zhengyu's girlfriend is the thing I regret most in my life. I was stupid enough to like that bastard." Xia Ying had a regretful expression, then glanced at her, "I just don't want to see you foolishly follow my old path, so I kindly reminded you."
"ah……"
