Chapter 396: Yue Lao said he tried his best
In the dark room.
The faint blue light from the mobile phone screen illuminated Xu Cheng's face full of relief.
Jinghai was the most affectionate: "Thank you, Lin Wanzhou."
Finger tap to send.
The message is converted into an electrical signal, then into an electromagnetic wave of a specific frequency and waveform, and then transmitted through an antenna.
The girl had already told Xu Cheng the conversation between her and her mother.
Of course, the independent strong female version without her crying parts.
Xu Cheng was quite touched by this.
When a boy meets a girl who leans towards him and considers him in everything, the boy may not even realize how lucky he is.
But Xu Cheng knew it clearly.
He felt that he was extremely lucky to be able to cross the long river of time, meet the right person again, and grasp the little luck that belonged to him again.
“Meow meow meow.”
The rice cake on the bedside table lightly jumped onto Xu Cheng's belly.
"Oh, it's heavy."
Xu Cheng, who was suddenly ganked by a cat, came back to his senses and helplessly touched the white ragdoll that had grown from a kitten to a big cat.
"Nian Gao, do you know how fat you are now? How can you just jump on someone else's stomach casually?"
"Meow wow?"
Nian Gao tilted his head and tapped Xu Cheng's phone with his tail. Only then did he see that the girl had sent a reply.
Mr. Zhou: "【Grimace】"
Mr. Zhou: "I'm going to sleep first."
The boy replied hurriedly.
Jinghai's most affectionate words: "Good night and sweet dreams."
Lying down with one arm as a pillow, gently stroking the cat with the other hand, looking at the ceiling of the quiet room.
Nineteen years old.
Xu Cheng felt that he was so lucky. His life went from being an emo who could die at any time to one that was very meaningful and fulfilling.
This fullness does not come from the wealth he created, but from his most precious thing...
From a 6-year-old girl who only relied on herself to a 19-year-old girl who takes the initiative to share her worries.
All the experiences of the two of them quickly emerged in his mind.
People live for Lin Wanzhou!
The boy picked up the cat with great happiness, and despite the cat's refusal to scratch him, he put it on his face and started sucking it madly.
Finally, I fell asleep contentedly and peacefully holding the cat.
…
The next day, what woke Xu Cheng up was not the first ray of sunshine, but being woken up too early by his mother.
These are all last night's leftovers, reheated.
Xu Cheng did not dare to complain. He ate obediently and seemed to enjoy the food very much.
After all, I was very dissatisfied yesterday that my first meal after returning home was not at my own home.
He Ying was packing Xu Cheng's suitcase and schoolbag. In her opinion, all of Xu Cheng's clothes were extremely dirty. Of course, she had to shake them all out and wash them again, otherwise it would become a big worry for her.
Of course, Deputy Director He not only cleaned up, but also searched carefully to see if there were any key items as she imagined.
"Mom, please don't lose the documents inside me."
"How can I lose it for you? I can lose yourself but I can't lose your things."
“…”
After being choked by my mother, Xu Cheng shut up obediently, drank the boiling hot soy milk in small sips, and stopped talking.
He Ying spoke suddenly.
"Xu Cheng, are you and Aunt Gao's Lin Wanzhou dating now?"
He Ying's sudden question almost made Xu Cheng spit out all the soy milk in his mouth.
He rarely showed a shy expression.
"Mom, why are you asking me that? I'm an adult now, I'll be shy too, okay?"
"Look at what you have accomplished."
He Ying scolded him, but judging from the boy's reaction, he had already guessed most of the answer.
As expected, it was won.
The thoughts that I had not dared to look forward to and the speculations that I had not concluded for many years finally came to fruition.
Deputy Director He felt as sweet and satisfied as if he had eaten candy, and he couldn't help humming a song.
"The stars are shining, shining..."
"Mom, I'm going out first."
Xu Cheng wiped his mouth, stood up and said.
He Ying became excited again when she heard this, "Go on a date... with Zhou Zhou?"
"Cough, cough, cough."
Xu Cheng seemed to have tripped while walking, "What date? I'm going to see Li Qiuyang."
Li Qiuyang had already returned home on vacation early, and the two of them made an appointment to meet today last night. As for Qiao Yiming, he said that he was worried about his work at Weibo and would have to stay in Yanjing for a while and would not be able to come back.
Xu Cheng couldn't tell whether this guy was doing this for work or for something else.
I went out and took the bus. When I arrived at the agreed intersection, I saw Li Qiuyang standing at the bus stop before I got off the bus.
Half a year later, he seemed to be a little slimmer than before. When they met, there was no pretense and Xu Cheng patted him on the shoulder.
"What's wrong? What's the matter with you calling me out today?"
"Fuck, you are a dog, Xu Cheng, why are you talking about me like that? Can't I just call you out when I want to see you?"
"Come on, if you have nothing else to do I'll leave. I don't have time to waste with a grown man like you."
“…”
Seeing Xu Cheng turning around, Li Qiuyang quickly grabbed him and said, "No, no, no."
"Chang Wei, you said you don't know martial arts."
Xu Cheng teased, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Li Qiuyang looked hesitant and embarrassed.
"Can you please let me be more reserved..."
Sometimes boys’ thoughts are actually very vague , and they themselves are not even aware of it.
Li Qiuyang called Xu Cheng out just to chat with him, and then as they chatted, the topic turned to Guo Zining.
He hinted again.
Perhaps with the help of Xu Cheng, his relationship with Guo Zining could make some progress?
Because their schools are far apart, Li Qiuyang has not met Guo Zining this semester, and even the frequency of their contact is not very frequent.
During the National Day holiday, he was looking forward to returning home, wondering if they could meet by chance on the street somewhere. However, he got the news that Guo Zining had not returned home at all.
So now he didn't know what Guo Zining was thinking, and he was too embarrassed to take the initiative to ask the girl out.
That's the bad thing after graduating from high school.
No matter what, you could always see her at school.
But after graduation, if I want to meet her again, except by chance, I always need a reason.
"If Lin Wanzhou and Guo Zining go out to play together someday, can you ask me to go with you to look for them..."
"???"
Xu Cheng looked at him suspiciously, "You didn't break up with Guo Zining, did you?"
"What breakup?!"
Li Qiuyang was startled. Not only did his fat face turn red with embarrassment, but he also looked around, as if he was afraid that someone would hear him.
"I……"
Seeing him stuttering, Xu Cheng suddenly realized something and asked tentatively.
"You're not still with Guo Zining, are you?"
Li Qiuyang's face turned red, not sure if it was from holding it in or from being angry. He sighed softly.
"It was better in high school..."
“Oh my god.”
Xu Cheng seemed to have discovered some shocking secret, "So, Li Qiuyang, you still have no progress. You were flirting with him in high school, but don't tell me you are still flirting with him now."
"ambiguous?"
Li Qiuyang had a bitter face. He finally found someone he could talk to and spoke out his true feelings.
"Since I went to college, we have been in less contact. Guo Zining hardly talks to me now. She used to send me messages occasionally, but now the last time she sent me a message was more than a month ago. I, I don't know if she has... Shit."
At the end of his words, Li Qiuyang angrily punched the electric pole next to him.
"Let's go have a barbecue at noon, and I'll drink with you."
"Get lost, you can only drink beverages, I drink beer, then I will be at a loss."
"Why are you fussing so much? I'll pay the bill, right?"
"That's more like it."
The two of them strolled aimlessly like street urchins, and Li Qiuyang complained about all the grievances he had suffered during the semester.
"well--"
Xu Cheng couldn't help but sigh, "Don't read Li Qingzhao when you are young, the most painful thing in life is lovesickness."
Li Qiuyang's ears moved and he quickly moved closer to Xu Cheng's ear.
"Old Xu, you and Lin Wanzhou are not..."
Xu Cheng glanced at him.
"We're fine."
“…”
"Why do I think you seem a little disappointed?"
“No.”
Li Qiuyang shook his head so much that the flesh on his face trembled, "You must have seen it wrong."
Xu Cheng ignored him and took a while to digest Li Qiuyang's thoughts.
"So right now, you just want to find an opportunity to meet Guo Zining, the person you think about day and night, right?"
"Anyway... if you say so... then it's like this..."
Li Qiuyang was playing with his fingers shyly, which made Xu Cheng feel uncomfortable, so he quickly looked away.
"If it's just a one-time meeting, then I've already figured out a way."
Li Qiuyang immediately became excited.
"What is the solution?"
Xu Cheng said calmly, "It's very simple. First, take out your phone. Second, find Guo Zining's contact information. Finally, edit and send the four words 'I want to see you'."
“…”
Li Qiuyang felt like he wanted to hit someone.
"Do you think I would have to come to you if I dared to send it to her?"
"Being timid will only make you miss everything." Xu Cheng looked at him meaningfully.
A few traces of struggle flashed across Li Qiuyang's face, and finally he returned to decadence.
"Alright, alright, I understand the reason, but I just don't dare. What can I do? I don't have too high requirements. Even if I can secretly take a look at her somewhere, maybe I can be satisfied."
"Peeping? Your idea... well, sounds a bit perverted."
"Do we have to fight today?"
"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding you."
Xu Cheng pushed him away.
"That's easy to achieve, right? Just go to her house and wait there. I don't believe that she won't go out for 24 hours a day, so you can always see her."
"I'm going to her house downstairs... What if we bump into each other and she asks me why I'm here?"
Xu Cheng did not answer, but just called his name lightly.
"Li Qiuyang."
"Um?"
"You deserve to be single since you have so many concerns!"
“…”
Li Qiuyang also admitted the same thing, "Go ahead and scold me, this is just my personality, what can I do about it?"
"Forget it. I am your good father. If I don't help you, who will?"
When Li Qiuyang heard this, he immediately became excited.
"Is there a solution?!"
"Well, it's just to let you meet her, isn't that easy?"
…
In a roadside milk tea shop.
Lin Wanzhou sat on a high stool in the store, her straight and well-proportioned legs looking particularly slender.
"It's really grown a lot bigger!" Guo Zining, who was beside her, covered his mouth and exclaimed in a low voice.
"How did you do it? Tell me, tell me."
Lin Wanzhou pried open Guo Zining's hand that was pulling at her, "Why are you listening to this? You've already reached this scale, and you still think it's not enough."
She glanced at Guo Zining's magnificent figure that every girl envied.
Although I have seen it so many times, I still seem to be shocked and feel inferior every time I see it.
Work hard next semester.
Oh, no.
It is to let Xu Cheng work hard.
If I work hard for another semester, I can grow to half of this!
The girl set a small goal for herself.
The milk tea was ready, and two girls went to get it, then sat at the bar and sipped it through the straws.
Guo Zining asked curiously.
"What did Xu Cheng do today? Why didn't he accompany you?"
"He said he wanted to go play with Li Qiuyang. Didn't Li Qiuyang tell you?"
“…”
As if some sensitive name was mentioned, Guo Zining's expression suddenly became depressed.
Lin Wanzhou observed this keenly.
"You and Li Qiuyang are not together? So have you found a new boyfriend?"
"Yes, I found him. He's tall and handsome, and he cares about me. He's a thousand times better than that Li Qiuyang!"
"Is it true? Do you have any photos? Let me see."
Lin Wanzhou tried to grab Guo Zining's cell phone, and the two of them fought and quarreled over it. Lin Wanzhou was also very skilled, and her little hands attacked Guo Zining's vulnerable areas.
It was not easy for Guo Zining to fight back as Lin Wanzhou blocked him well.
This made the girl very proud.
Look, what’s good about being that big?
It’s impossible to prevent it.
"Stop making a fuss, Zhou Zhou. I was just talking nonsense. I don't have a boyfriend." Guo Zining surrendered and told the truth.
"What about you and Li Qiuyang? You two were getting along pretty well back then..."
"Don't talk about Li Qiuyang anymore. I don't want to talk to him anymore."
"Why?"
"He doesn't like me at all. He only responds to me when I take the initiative to send him messages. I deliberately didn't send him messages, and then he hasn't spoken to me for more than a month." Guo Zining lay on the table depressed.
Lin Wanzhou glanced at the astonishing thing on the table that was squeezed into a strange shape.
"No way, there must be some misunderstanding between you two."
"Misunderstand?"
Guo Zining got even angrier thinking about this. "During the National Day holiday, I clearly hinted to him that I would go to his school to find him. I went there happily, but you know what happened to him? He went straight back to Jinghai during the National Day holiday. It was obvious that he was deliberately avoiding me."
After listening to Guo Zining's experience, Lin Wanzhou felt that her speculation made sense.
"Men are like this, they will change their minds and are not reliable at all, right Zhou Zhou?"
"Well……"
Lin Wanzhou hesitated for a few seconds, neither saying yes nor no, then lowered his head and opened his phone.
"Ahem, someone sent me a message..."
