Meteor showers fall on your head
She poked and tapped at the screen quickly, but was caught off guard when a roar came from the phone, shaking her head.
"Jiang, Qing, where have you been?"
She gritted her teeth at every word, and even though they were not face to face, she could feel that the girl opposite her was like a volcano erupting, and the uncontrollable raging anger was about to spread across the land.
Jiang Qing quickly moved the phone away, her ears were almost deafened by the noise.
She caught a glimpse of the surprised looks from those around her, but she pretended not to see them.
Before she could say anything, her hands were empty. She looked back and saw Lin Nanyan holding her old cell phone.
Even from such a long distance, Jiang Qing could vaguely hear the person on the other end of the phone chattering and yelling.
After a while, Song Shuang probably finished venting his anger and his voice gradually died down. Lin Nan extended his hand to signal Jiang Qing to take it. He put the phone to his ear and apologized humbly, "I'm sorry. I was delayed by some trouble here."
"Even if something happened, you can't not answer the phone!" Song Shuang became more and more angry as she thought about it, and she angrily condemned.
I made eight hundred calls in the afternoon and no one answered. I was almost pissed off.
As the person was talking, he was about to get angry again, and the decibel level was about to soar.
Jiang Qing interrupted the opponent's spell in time, "Bao, I didn't mean it."
She began to act like a spoiled brat, trying to ease the other person's anger.
As she spoke, she slid the call interface up and down. The number in the brackets of the missed calls made her feel guilty and short of breath. She had indeed gone too far. How could she not answer the call? She silently condemned herself in her heart.
When Chen Heng heard the sweet voice, he paused, looked Jiang Qing up and down, and turned around to meet Lin Nanyan's deadly gaze.
Although the boy had a blank expression on his face, he could still see the ripples hidden beneath the calm surface.
"I was questioned at the police station..." Jiang Qing continued.
Afraid that her phone would ring while she was being questioned, she turned on silent mode, so she really didn't hear the ringtone. Before she could say the rest, she was interrupted by Song Shuang.
"Police station!? Why are you at the police station?"
Song Shuang was shocked. Jiang Qing didn't answer the phone. She had guessed countless possibilities.
For example, she was blacklisted, the other party lost his phone, or lost his memory. As time passed, her imagination was almost going through the sky, but she never thought that the other party would be in the police station.
Jiang Qing, such a good and obedient girl, how could she end up in the police station? Someone must have bullied her.
"Are you okay? Who bullied you?" Song Shuang didn't care about being angry for a moment and his attention was instantly diverted.
The girl's anxious voice came from the mobile phone. After being processed by the electromagnetic signal, it was slightly distorted, but Jiang Qing could still hear the voices of boys around the girl. Maybe because the person was a little far away from the microphone, the voice was vague and not very clear.
"Don't bother me." Song Shuang interrupted Wang Huacheng's mumbling irritably, "I'm asking, don't talk, I can't hear you clearly."
Wang Huaqiang quickly closed his mouth and put his ear close.
Jiang Qing quickly comforted the two of them, "I'm not being bullied. I'm with Lin Nanyan."
"I can't explain it right away. I'll tell you slowly when I get back."
"Lin Nanyan is here too," Song Shuang was relieved upon hearing this. It was good that he was here. With him around, Jiang Qing shouldn't have any major problems. If anything happened, Lin Nanyan would take charge on his own. "That's good. Don't worry, just take your time."
Anyway, we have been waiting for so long, it doesn’t matter if we wait a little longer.
Wang Huaqiang also relaxed quietly. He took out a bag of potato chips from the plastic bag, opened the package and handed it to Song Shuang.
"Okay," Jiang Qing said as she saw He Feipeng picking leaves boredly. Suddenly, she remembered that she had some unfinished business. She quickened her pace and said, "Baby, wait for me at the milk tea shop at the entrance of the community. We'll be there in about half an hour."
"Okay, we'll wait for you." Song Shuang took the snacks and responded with a crunch, "I'll order you a cup of Panda Milk Cap."
"Okay, I love you." Jiang Qing sent a loving kiss from afar.
"Wait——" Song Shuang suddenly spoke.
Unfortunately, Song Shuang spoke too late and Jiang Qing didn't hear it.
Jiang Qing hung up the phone, interrupting Song Shuang's words that were about to come out.
"——in a moment," Song Shuang looked at Ye Meiyan who was walking towards him, put down his phone, and smiled awkwardly.
"Excuse me, does Jiang Qing live here?" Ye Meiyan asked politely.
"It's... it's here," Song Shuang looked at the woman in white dress in front of her. The glittering hairpin on her long black straight hair was faintly visible but absolutely impossible to ignore.
She dared to guarantee that the diamonds inlaid on it were definitely real.
The noble little princess, who seemed to be radiating the brilliance of money, stood beside her. The golden light shone on her, and she felt that she had instantly become much more valuable.
but--
This couldn't stop her from complaining in her heart.
Damn, how come Jiang Qing hung up the phone so quickly!
She tugged at her sportswear, trying to make herself look more ladylike, and pointed to the neighborhood, "She, she hasn't come back yet. Let's go to the milk tea shop and wait for her."
"Okay, thank you." Ye Meiyan made way, tilted her face slightly, and looked puzzled.
Song Shuang understood immediately upon seeing this, and hurriedly stuffed all the snacks into Wang Huaqiang's arms, patted the remaining crumbs on his hands, and quickly walked forward to lead the way, waving to Wang Huaqiang to follow.
The girls walked in front with proud and confident looks on their faces, while the boys followed behind happily carrying large and small bags.
Ye Meiyan looked at the extremely contrasting backs of the two people, couldn't help but smile softly, and walked up to follow.
She knew the small group that Jiang Qing was in, but she was not familiar with them.
I don't know why she invited her, but it's interesting, isn't it?
On the other side, Jiang Qing hung up the phone and checked the time. It was still a while before the time she and Ye Meiyan had agreed on. There was no need to worry about it. She should first solve the current situation and send the only person who was not in the right situation away.
"Brother, you go first. I won't see you off." Jiang Qing said enthusiastically.
"Okay, sister." He Feipeng stepped on the leaves he had pinched on the ground and breathed the fresh air outside. He was free again!
It may be freedom under the burden of debt, but it is freedom nonetheless.
I believe that it won't be long before he is debt-free. After all, the police just said that there is still a great hope of getting the bicycle back.
"I'll leave it to you. I believe in your ability." Having said that, Jiang Qing waved her hand and motioned He Feipeng to come closer to her ear.
Looking at the distance between the two of them shrinking, Lin Nanyan moved his feet calmly.
Chen Heng sneered, playing with his fingers, and stepped directly behind Jiang Qing, eavesdropping openly.
Lin Nanyan noticed the boy's movements, turned his head slightly to stare at him, then looked away.
Jiang Qing was completely unaware of this. She said to He Feipeng, "Just do it quietly. Don't let him know it was you, or he'll blame you."
"We're acquaintances, so we'll see each other every day. He'll eventually be released. If you're exposed, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you."
He Feipeng was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes when he heard this. He was so excited that he patted his chest and promised, "I will. Sister, wait for my good news."
His sister was thinking about him. This sister was worthy of recognition. She even thought of this for him. Although he had originally planned to do it secretly, he was not a fool who knew nothing.
Looking at the boy who looked like he was willing to die for his friend, she walked away reluctantly, looking back every step of the way.
Everyone: ...
I think you are just an idiot.
Finally sending the outsider away, Jiang Qing nodded in satisfaction. As soon as she turned around, she was startled by a boy who suddenly appeared behind her. "You haven't left yet?"
"I've helped you so much, don't you have anything to say?" Chen Heng was inexplicably unhappy after being driven away.
Jiang Qing: "Thank you, thank you?"
Chen Heng: ...
He reached out to knock Jiang Qing on the head, wanting to confirm what kind of brain circuit would make him think that this was what he wanted to hear.
The outstretched hand was blocked by Lin Nanyan before it could touch the girl. The two boys looked at each other, sparks flew, and neither of them gave in.
Jiang Qing looked at the subtle atmosphere between the two people in bewilderment, confused and could only sigh, is this the kind of friendship that comes unexpectedly between boys?
After a while, Chen Heng shifted his gaze.
"Remember, you owe me a meal."
He waved his hand and without waiting for the girl's reply, he turned around, leaving Jiang Qing with only his back as he walked away in a leisurely manner.
Walking against the light, the halo creates a soft outline for the boy.
The inorganic earrings are cold yet shimmering with soft light, blending the two opposing atmospheres to balance the entire image.
Jiang Qing: .....
Does he think this is handsome?
Although, he is very handsome.
Next time, she will learn it too.
It must be cool to take pictures.
Before she finished learning and came back to her senses, her vision suddenly went dark and she could not see anything. Jiang Qing looked at Lin Nanyan who was blocking her view, and a hundred thousand question marks popped up in her head.
Lin Nanyan raised his left hand. His bony wrist was encased in a black watchband, making his skin look even whiter. He reminded him, "If you don't leave now, you'll be late."
"I know." Jiang Qing withdrew her gaze with a lingering look and looked at Song Yao who was standing aside with a hesitant look on her face.
"We're leaving now, you...?"
Song Yao seemed to have just come back to her senses. She smiled and said, "It's okay. You guys go first. I'll wait for someone to pick you up."
She quietly watched the two people walking away, watching the girl snatch a package from the boy, and the boy easily pressed the girl's forehead to prevent her from jumping back and forth.
Song Yao stood silently, waiting for the two figures to disappear at the end of the street.
If life is a long street with people coming and going, then she is the one who always stands on the street, watching the sun rise and set at this moment.
She looked at the girl's back as she walked a long way away. Just when she thought she was about to disappear around the corner, the girl suddenly turned around and ran back.
Water droplets appeared on her face, and a few strands of her flying hair stuck to her forehead. Her eyes were sparkling, as if they contained little glowing stars.
"Officer Zhang said something to me, and I think she was supposed to say it to you."
The girl's face was red and her tone was very serious, as if she was about to tell some truth.
Song Yao was infected by her tone and couldn't help but become serious.
“It’s not your fault.”
"What?" Song Yao was stunned.
"I said, this isn't your fault," Jiang Qing repeated, emphasizing, "everything that happened. Everything."
"It's not your fault."
"Well, thank you, I know." Song Yao replied mechanically. She stood there, as if she was hit by a meteor shower.
She watched the girl turn around and run towards the boy who had been standing there waiting for her, and the two of them walked away playing again.
The two figures, one tall and one short, gradually disappeared from her sight.
Song Yao finally couldn't help but squat down and hug herself.
If only...
How nice it would be if someone could tell her that it wasn't her fault?
However, the meteor shower arrived late.
She had long since given up looking forward to it.
"Nannan, let's go."
After an unknown amount of time, someone stood in front of her.
The still sculpture raised its head and forced a smile: "Okay."
There was nothing on that upturned beautiful face, no crying, no resentment, and no unwillingness, as if she was wearing a mask.
Song Yao followed the person in front of her and set out on the journey home, taking one step deep and one step shallow.
She heard—
"Don't wear skirts anymore."
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but fell silent again.
"good."
"I'll take you to a dance competition later."
"good."
"From now on, you should hide more often."
"good."
"after..."
Later, later, there are so many laters...
But no matter what she heard, Song Yao agreed.
She looked at the end of the long street. The sun was setting in the west, and even the puddles were reflected with patches of light. Song Yao looked at it, and without pausing, she raised her foot and stepped on it.
The sun hidden in the water shattered, ripples spread out in circles, the spots of light shattered, and finally returned to calm, reflected on the water surface, and once again wrapped around the black branches on the street.
Birds flew across the sky, flapping their wings and soaring among the clouds, silently overlooking the earth.
Jiang Qing hurried and finally caught up with the timeline, arriving at the milk tea shop within half an hour.
"Ah, baby, I'm sorry I'm late..."
Jiang Qing stopped talking and was stunned for a moment when she saw the girl standing up to greet her.
She pulled Lin Nanyan's left hand with a look of doubt on her face. The second hand was moving, but the hour hand was still there.
That’s right, she didn’t read the time wrong.
Song Shuang was very happy to finally see Jiang Qing appear. She breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't stand this awkward atmosphere for even a second.
She said that they were just two different people and she didn't know what topic to talk about.
Should she tell those wildly imaginative jokes? Just thinking about it would give her goosebumps.
Song Shuang was excited: "You are finally here."
Savior!
Your guests can entertain themselves, she won't serve them.
Ye Meiyan stood up and looked at Jiang Qing's expression. She smiled and explained, "The time is correct. I arrived early."
"Haha," Jiang Qing stepped forward stiffly. Ah, she had made people wait for so long. "Have you drunk it?"
The perfect get-together she had imagined was ruined! Totally ruined!
