Chapter 51 It's all over
Yuan Dabao and Zhang Yang chatted for a long time, from stewed chicken to classmates, but they felt very sorry that there were more boys than girls in the class.
Yuan Dabao felt that he was a completely different person after attending the Railway School. He was reborn and became an adult.
But I couldn't open my mouth, because that would reveal my true nature as a foodie. I chatted with Zhang Yang for almost half an hour, and for almost twenty minutes we were talking about food. From the school cafeteria to the snack bar at the school gate, I talked about how the provincial capital was different from the smaller cities. The food was so diverse, so many things I had never seen before.
Zhang Yang just listened silently, responding to Yuan Dabao from time to time.
It was not until Yuan Dabao asked a question that Zhang Yang realized that he had said so much in a roundabout way just to ask Bai Xue.
"No," Zhang Yang said honestly, "I haven't seen her. Tianyi did say she saw Bai Xue's name among the names of the students who were assigned to different classes. But I guess it's just a name. Tianyi didn't tell me about it again. If it was really Bai Xue, she would definitely come back and tell me."
Yuan Dabao was very excited. Like Xin Tianyi, he was also excited to see someone with the same name. On the other end of the phone, he urged Zhang Yang to go find Xin Tianyi in the afternoon to see if it was Bai Xue.
Zhang Yang was alone at home with nothing to do, so he agreed.
I rode my bike to Experimental Middle School and rode into the campus with a group of students.
After finding Class 1, Grade 1, Zhang Yang stood at the back door of the classroom and looked inside.
There were few people in the classroom, with only a few sitting here and there. Zhang Yang recognized Xin Tianyi at a glance.
"Xin Tianyi!" Zhang Yang shouted.
Xin Tianyi immediately turned around and saw Zhang Yang smiling at her.
"Why are you here!"
Xin Tianyi came out of the classroom and asked, "You don't have classes this afternoon?"
"I won't go." Zhang Yang said, "You guys shouldn't go either."
"Yeah." Xin Tianyi nodded and said to Zhang Yang, "Come on, I'll take you around the playground and give you a tour of our campus."
Experimental Middle School was built only two years ago, and this class of senior students is the first class admitted by the school, so the entire campus is much newer than No. 1 Middle School, especially the teaching building. When you pass by the front, you can still smell the smell of paint.
After passing through two teaching buildings and walking further inside, you will find the cafeteria and the playground.
Xin Tianyi pointed to the other end of the playground and said to Zhang Yang, "That building over there is our dormitory."
Zhang Yang nodded and asked, "How's the food in the cafeteria?"
"It's pretty good." Xin Tianyi said, "The price is okay, and there's a wide variety."
"But we can't always eat in the cafeteria. We should go home once or twice a week. We go home for lunch. Grandpa Wang's cooking is so delicious."
"Yeah." Xin Tianyi said, "Now that you mention it, I'm greedy."
Zhang Yang smiled and glanced at Xin Tianyi. "If it's inconvenient for you without a bicycle, I can bring you food."
"Convenient." Xin Tianyi said immediately, "It's not far, just take the bus."
"Okay." Zhang Yang said, "If you have any questions, just come to me."
"You must have something to ask me." Xin Tianyi looked up at Zhang Yang. "Today is only the first day of school. You must have something to ask."
"Nothing can escape you." Zhang Yang smiled and recounted Yuan Dabao's phone call. He didn't mention that Yuan Dabao was very concerned about Bai Xue's situation. Instead, he said that after hearing Zhang Yang mention it, he wanted to know if it was really Bai Xue. Zhang Yang had nothing to do this afternoon, so he came to ask.
"No." Xin Tianyi frowned regretfully, "I went to the class to look for it, and it wasn't Bai Xue. No, it should be said that it was someone with the same name, and that girl just happened to be called Bai Xue."
"Since she didn't show up when the results were announced, I guess something happened and she's deliberately avoiding us." Zhang Yang said honestly, "Since she doesn't want to see us, let's not look for her. She'll show up when she wants to see us."
Xin Tianyi felt that Zhang Yang's words were very philosophical. Bai Xue was indeed avoiding them. Otherwise, there would be no news from her.
"Is there any news about Wei Ran?" Xin Tianyi repeatedly reminded Zhang Yang, "If Wei Ran calls you, remember to remind him not to swim near the water or the lake. It's very dangerous!"
"Okay, got it." Zhang Yang shook his head helplessly. "I'm sure Wei Ran will even memorize this sentence in his sleep. Don't you think about it? You've reminded me hundreds of times."
The two walked around the playground a few times in the early autumn breeze. Zhang Yang didn't say goodbye to Xin Tianyi until he noticed that there were more and more people on the playground.
The two chatted a lot of gossip, and Zhang Yang also mentioned that his brother Zhang Mao was going to study abroad.
When Xin Tianyi heard that Zhang Mao was going abroad as an exchange student, he had a different attitude. He thought it was a good opportunity and that Zhang Mao should go out and see the world.
After hearing what Xin Tianyi said, Zhang Yang also became curious and asked Xin Tianyi if she would go if she had the opportunity to make an exchange.
Xin Tianyi nodded: "Of course I will go. But I will just go abroad as an exchange student. One or two years is fine. If I want to settle down abroad, that's not possible. I still have to take care of my grandparents."
Zhang Yang was very satisfied with Xin Tianyi's answer. He didn't have any ambitions, unlike Zhang Mao, who always wanted better things. For Zhang Yang, he felt that nothing in the world could compare to his family.
Being able to be with his family is his greatest happiness.
Everyone has a different understanding of the world. Zhang Yang has his own standard of happiness, and Zhang Mao has his own standard of exploration.
No one can judge whether the other person's behavior is right or wrong. This is how the world is. There is not so much right or wrong.
"Xin Tianyi, so you are here!"
A voice sounded behind him. Xin Tianyi turned around and saw that it was Cheng Tianlan.
Cheng Tianlan ran out of breath. Seeing Xin Tianyi, he said, "I'm going to the class to look for you. A classmate said he saw you coming to the playground."
Although Cheng Tianlan was talking to Xin Tianyi, his eyes were always on Zhang Yang.
Xin Tianyi quickly introduced: "Zhang Yang, this is Cheng Tianlan, she also works in our cotton mill."
"Tianlan, this is Zhang Yang."
Cheng Tianlan's round face flushed. She stared at Zhang Yang without blinking and said with a smile, "I know he is Zhang Yang."
Zhang Yang and Xin Tianyi both looked at Cheng Tianlan in surprise.
Cheng Tianlan said calmly, "You don't remember me?"
Zhang Yang looked at the little girl in front of him and shook his head.
"When I was in the second grade of junior high school, I wrote you a love letter." Cheng Tianlan's voice didn't lower at all. When he said this, it was as natural as if he was talking about someone else's affairs. "On the day it snowed, my classmates and I sent it to you. But you didn't accept it."
When Cheng Tianlan said the three words "you didn't respond", he tilted his head slightly, the smile on his face did not diminish, and his big round eyes stared at Zhang Yang, as if exploring something.
Zhang Yang's face flushed all the way to his ears. He looked at Xin Tianyi awkwardly, then turned back to look at Cheng Tianlan. He didn't know what to say.
He never thought that something that happened so long ago would be dug up at this time and he would be questioned.
"But it doesn't matter." Cheng Tianlan said with a smile: "You don't just refuse to accept my love letter, you refuse to accept anyone's love letter. Besides, it's all in the past."
"Yes, that's what happened in the past." Xin Tianyi quickly laughed it off, "It's all in the past."
