Chapter 42 Growing Up
A few hours ago, Yuan Dabao kept asking himself, will he be able to see Bai Xue again in this life?
A full twenty-four days had passed since the exam ended and the results were announced today. Yuan Dabao had used every trick he could think of just to see Bai Xue.
But no matter how hard he tried, even using the money he had saved to buy popsicles for his friends and asking them to help him search, there was no sign of Snow White.
But Yuan Dabao didn't know that life is long but chance encounters are short.
At that moment, Yuan Dabao saw Bai Xue.
She was standing at a stall not far away, picking out clothes hanging there.
Yuan Dabao thought he had seen it wrong, so he opened his eyes wide and looked over again.
Bai Xue was holding a long floral dress in her hand. After looking at it for a while, she pointed to another dress and asked the stall owner to give it to her.
Yuan Dabao almost screamed in surprise.
It's Snow White. It really is her.
But just when he was about to shout, several boys surrounded him.
They were holding beer bottles in their hands and still wearing shirts of different patterns.
And their hair, strands of it blown sky high, Yuan Dabao could even smell the mousse on their heads.
One of the boys was wearing a black shirt with yellow flowers. The top three buttons were unbuttoned, leaving it wide open. He had something shiny around his neck. He also had a pair of sunglasses tucked into his ears, perched high on his forehead.
Yuan Dabao had also seen that boy before. He seemed to be the one who came to send Bai Xue to school.
A few hooligans stood in front of the stall, taking a sip of beer from time to time. The boy in sunglasses had already walked over and leaned against Bai Xue.
He looked around and finally pointed at two skirts and asked the stall owner to take them down together.
Yuan Dabao seemed to have been hit by acupuncture points from an unparalleled master, unable to move at all.
As for sound, it cannot be made.
He stared blankly at everything not far away until Zhang Yang gently pushed him.
"What are you doing? You can't hear me even when I call you." Zhang Yang asked.
Yuan Dabao came back to his senses and asked awkwardly, "What are you doing?"
"You and I go line up to buy lamb skewers!" Zhang Yang repeated word by word.
"Oh, okay." Yuan Dabao said absentmindedly.
"Wei Ran, just wait for God's will. You two just wait here and don't go anywhere. There are too many people here right now." Zhang Yang turned around and instructed.
Xin Tianyi said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not a child, do I need Wei Ran to watch over me?"
Zhang Yang didn't say anything, but Wei Ran continued, "Don't worry, I'll be guarding her and won't let him go."
Zhang Yang was relieved and pulled Yuan Dabao to queue up.
The queue was right in front of the clothing stall. Bai Xue was still choosing clothes, and Yuan Dabao was standing in front of Zhang Yang, staring at him without blinking.
He watched Bai Xue put several pieces of clothing on the stall, comparing them one by one, and occasionally asking the boy in sunglasses next to her for his opinion.
Finally, the boy picked up two pieces and gave them to her, and Bai Xue smiled at him.
She still looks so beautiful when she smiles.
Under the incandescent light, Bai Xue looked at the boy next to her with a smile.
He gave the clothes to the stall owner and took out money from his pocket.
After completing a series of actions, the boy handed the bag of new clothes to Bai Xue, who still looked at him with a smile.
Then the boy stretched out his arm, put it on Bai Xue's shoulder, half hugged her, and asked the rest of the people to leave.
Yuan Dabao felt that he would never forget that smile in his life.
"Hey, classmate, let's move forward."
The person behind Zhang Yang reminded him, "You told the person in front of you to move forward. Why isn't he moving? There's no one in front of him."
Zhang Yang turned around and glanced at the person behind him, then quickly said, "Sorry, please move forward."
The man looked at Zhang Yang strangely, then ran around Zhang Yang and Yuan Dabao. When he walked in front of Yuan Dabao, he turned and looked at Yuan Dabao.
I saw the little boy behind me, his eyes were looking elsewhere, and he had long forgotten that he was still in line.
Zhang Yang smiled and asked the people behind him to follow. It was not until he saw Bai Xue and the others leave and disappear into the crowd that Zhang Yang poked Yuan Dabao in the back as if nothing had happened.
"Brother, are you still eating?"
When Yuan Dabao came to his senses, he found that he was still at the end of the team, and there was at least four or five people between him and the person in front.
Yuan Dabao quickly took a few steps forward and followed.
Zhang Yang craned his neck to look at the lamb skewers. He muttered, "Five skewers per person, are they enough? Oh, Wei Ran doesn't eat chili, so I'll get him some non-spicy ones later."
Yuan Dabao let out an "oh" as if he had lost his soul.
"Is five skewers enough for you?" Zhang Yang asked, resting his chin on Yuan Dabao's shoulder.
"Ah?" Yuan Dabao glanced at the lamb skewers in front of him, "That's enough."
"Then boss, we want twenty skewers, five of which are non-spicy, and the rest are spicy." Zhang Yang shouted to the people.
The man said "OK" and counted out twenty skewers from a pile of mutton skewers.
There was burning charcoal in the long iron stove, and the lamb skewers on it were sizzling and oozing with oil.
The oil dripped again, splashing a series of sparks.
Yuan Dabao stared at the charcoal fire, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.
Bai Xue's face seemed to be reflected on the charcoal fire, as well as her smile under the incandescent light.
"Okay, here are your twenty skewers." The man in the small flower hat handed over the roasted lamb skewers. Yuan Dabao, who was standing in front, did not reach out to take them.
Zhang Yang, who was standing behind, took a step forward and took it. The man in the flower hat said, "These five skewers are not spicy."
"Let's go and eat mutton skewers." Zhang Yang walked over and turned around to call Yuan Dabao.
"Oh." Yuan Dabao followed slowly.
Zhang Yang walked forward and looked back at him without saying a word.
He also saw the snow.
Yuan Dabao was standing in front of him, his neck almost broken. Zhang Yang looked in the direction he was looking and saw Bai Xue.
Zhang Yang thought Yuan Dabao would go find her or call her, but until the end, Zhang Yang did not hear Yuan Dabao say a word.
Zhang Yang stood at the back and turned his head towards the little flower hat with grilled lamb kebabs.
He saw nothing.
"Here, Wei Ran, this is your non-spicy one. Tianyi, these are your five skewers." Zhang Yang distributed the lamb skewers to Xin Tianyi and Wei Ran who were chatting.
"What are you guys talking about? It's so lively." Zhang Yang asked casually.
"We are discussing what to prepare for the new semester. We were thinking of buying it together," said Xin Tianyi.
"Okay." Zhang Yang said, "I'll go too."
Zhang Yang said, passing the mutton skewers in his hand to Yuan Dabao, "This is yours."
Yuan Dabao took it blankly, with no expression on his face.
Zhang Yang glanced at him and suddenly had a feeling.
Yuan Dabao has grown up.
Suddenly.
