Chapter 133

Lu Qing listened to Shuangshuang's words and looked towards the door. Who else was in the capital, or did they both know each other?

"Here they come! Brother Dunzi, Brother Chenchen, over here!" With sharp eyes, they saw Dunzi and Chenchen as soon as they appeared at the door of the restaurant and waved to them excitedly.

Dunzi?

Lu Qing looked up suddenly and saw two men walking towards him from the door. They were getting closer and closer, and their faces gradually became clearer.

When was the last time he saw Dunzi? Lu Qing hurriedly recalled that it was probably the year he graduated.

When she saw him again now, he had matured a lot. Perhaps because he felt hot, he had cut his hair short and was wearing a white shirt and suit pants. He looked like the boss she had met in the hospital. His every move and gesture looked nothing like the youth he used to be.

"Shuangshuang, your hair is almost uncurled from being permed, why don't you fix it? I'll tell you about some of the most fashionable hairstyles in Hong Kong. I know where to buy them.

Shuangshuang touched her hair. Because it had grown a lot longer, her second curl was almost straight, and it looked like it was neither curly nor curled. "Okay, Brother Dunzi, you know all this? Come and sit down."

Turning back to look at Brother Chenchen, Shuangshuang was extremely depressed and complained directly to Brother Dunzi, "Brother Chenchen hasn't come to see me for a long time, Brother Dunzi, you have to talk to him."

Wu Xiangchen's throat tightened when he heard this, but he was speechless. He could only raise his eyes and look at Shuangshuang deeply. He hadn't seen her for several months, and the little girl seemed to be a little more playful, so he could only look away.

After slapping Wu Xiangchen on the back, Dunzi sat down next to Shuangshuang and said, "Don't worry, I will teach your brother Chenchen a lesson."

There were already three people sitting at the square table, and the only seat left for Wu Xiangchen was the one opposite the other. The four of them occupied the four sides, and when Dunzi raised his head, his eyes met with Lu Qing who was sitting opposite him.

Thinking of Shuang Shuang Chuan's words, he was puzzled, but he also greeted people enthusiastically, "Lu Qing, what's wrong, you don't recognize old friends, do you?"

Lu Qing felt bitter in his heart, like a bitter flower blooming, and he forced a smile on his face, "How could that be?"

"That's good. After all, I am still your swimming teacher." Dunzi was very familiar. She talked about her work in the hospital and asked with a smile whether she could get a discount when going to the hospital in the future.

"Sister Qingqing, don't pay attention to him. Who would curse themselves to go to the hospital?" Shuangshuang glared at Brother Dunzi and said to him, "He just has too many businesses and always wants discounts."

"Hahahahahaha." Dunzi laughed heartily. This girl Shuangshuang just didn't give him any face.

The food we ordered was served, and it was delicious and tasty. The four of us tasted different flavors.

Fortunately, Dunzi was enthusiastic and Shuangshuang was talkative, so the meal was quite lively.

"Well, Comrade Wu Xiangchen, tell me the truth, are you dating someone?" Dunzi remembered Shuangshuang's betrayal and immediately began to interrogate him.

Who?

With these words, the three people at the table raised their heads. Dunzi stared at Wu Xiangchen. Wu Xiangchen's first reaction was to look in the direction of Shuangshuang, and he happened to meet her line of sight.

Lu Qing and Wu Xiangchen met for the first time and didn't care much about his gossip, but when he heard the person he was talking about, he quickly gave Dunzi a look. I wonder if this person has...

"What nonsense are you talking about." Wu Xiangchen retracted his gaze and said calmly, "I am the same as you, a bachelor."

These words made the two girls at the table breathe a sigh of relief.

As they were eating, they felt the food tasted better somehow. Lu Qing picked up the Coca-Cola, tilted his head back and took a sip, a sweet taste spreading.

After the sweetness, there is a hint of bitterness.

"What bachelor?" Dunzi disagreed, "We are called golden bachelors!"

Shuangshuang thought that Brother Dunzi was shameless and teased him, "Brother Dunzi, how can being single be considered golden? Aunt Xiuhui will be angry."

After learning that Brother Chenchen didn't have a girlfriend, Shuangshuang's mood turned from gloomy to cheerful and she became a lot more cheerful. She remembered that every time she went home during the winter and summer vacations, Aunt Xiuhui next door would complain that Brother Dunzi was busy with business all day long, bringing home a lot of money and good things but never bringing back a girlfriend, which made her very worried.

"Girl, I brought you some nice things, but you're helping my mom to get me married?"

"Ah, there's something else?" Shuangshuang smiled and tilted her eyes, then immediately changed her words, "It's good to be a single man."

Everyone at the dinner table smiled.

After a satisfying meal, the meal lasted until the evening. Thinking about going to work, school, or the army tomorrow, Dunzi, who was an idle person, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the hotel to rest. I'm still tired after sitting on the train for two days."

"Okay, Brother Dunzi, remember to come find me when you're done."

"OK!"

After they parted ways, Wu Xiangchen and Shuangshuang were on the same route, so they naturally walked together. Shuangshuang looked at Sister Qingqing and began to direct people, "Brother Dunzi, please take Sister Qingqing home. She lives next to the People's Hospital, in the same district as your hotel."

"Okay, I'm a gentleman, I will definitely send Lu Qing home."

After Shuangshuang and Chenchen walked away, Dunzi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's great to be in the same city with a group of childhood friends again!

"Wait for me two minutes, I'll go buy a pack of Hongtashan cigarettes and bring it back to you later." Dunzi was craving for a cigarette, so he tilted his head and pointed to a nearby convenience store.

Seeing that he was as carefree and carefree as before, Lu Qing suddenly didn't want to stay any longer. She forced a smile and shook her head, tightening the strap of her purse with her right hand. "No need, I can go back by myself. Goodbye."

Having said that, without waiting for his reaction, she just walked away with big strides, leaving behind only an indifferent back.

"Huh?!" Dunzi was waiting for the canteen owner to get his cigarettes, pay the bill and wait for the change. When he turned around to look, Lu Qing had disappeared around the corner.

Lu Qing left quickly without looking back. The spring breeze blew through her hair, raising its curls.

Unexpectedly, they would meet again today. Lu Qing originally thought that he had long forgotten the boy who led him to climb up the reef, but when they met again, clear memories came back instantly.

The day before Lu Qing left for college, he played with Shuangshuang in the afternoon. He went home for dinner in the evening. His parents told him to go to bed early, but when he returned home, he felt restless.

She talked to Shuangshuang for a long time, but did not say goodbye to Dunzi alone.

Looking at the time, the hands on the wall clock pointed to half past nine at night, and her train was at six in the morning tomorrow.

Eventually, impulse triumphed over reason, and she tiptoed out of the house under the dim moonlight. The girl was wearing cotton pajamas, and her two braids were undone, letting them hang down obediently.

Dunzi has been going out early and coming back late recently, and he has a lot of things to do. Lu Qing walked to the Liang family's small courtyard, and seeing that there was no light in his house, he hid beside a coconut tree and waited silently.

The weather changes drastically in early September, and it is cold in the mornings and evenings. She had just come out in a hurry and didn't notice that she was still wearing slippers. The evening breeze blew past, giving her goosebumps instantly.

The sky gradually changed color, and in an instant it was covered with dark clouds. Several thunders exploded with a crackling sound. Lu Qingse shrank his body and looked at the road in front of the courtyard. It was still quiet and no one was passing by.

"Hey!"

"ah!!!"

"Why are you shouting so loudly?" Dunzi suddenly appeared and covered Lu Qing's mouth. At this time, the family compound was quiet and peaceful. He didn't want to be discovered by his parents and come home late again. He originally planned to go home quietly, but he didn't expect to find a familiar face at his door. "Why are you standing here alone?"

Having said that, he let go of my hand.

"You scared me to death." Lu Qing felt a little aggrieved. It was late at night and everyone was asleep, but this man was still scary. He complained to him softly and glared at him softly.

"I was wrong." Dunzi heard Lu Qing's nasal voice and knew that this girl was timid. "Why are you here alone?"

"I..." Lu Qing suddenly didn't know how to start. He said that he was leaving home to go to college soon. Should he come to say goodbye to him so late at night?

"Are you here to see Shuangshuang so late at night?" Dunzi glanced next door and saw that all the lights were off.

"Yes." Lu Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was a good reason.

"Shuangshuang must be asleep. Not everyone is like me, a night owl~" Dunzi said proudly, "You should go back soon. Look at what you are wearing. Aren't you cold? It's going to rain."

"Yeah." He agreed, but did not move. Lu Qing looked at him. The boy's clear eyes still sparkled in the darkness. He seemed to be like this forever, as if there was a lot of light. He said without any context, "I'm going to college soon."

"I know. I heard from Shuangshuang. You're leaving tomorrow, right?"

"Yes." Lu Qing's lips curled up, and a swaying sunflower blossomed in his heart, swaying gently, "Do you remember?"

"Of course not! There are not many college students in our college. Don't forget us when you become successful in the future!" Dunzi looked at Lu Qing and felt proud. A person who came from a family college and was a college student was really amazing.

"I will definitely not forget you."

Accompanied by Lu Qing's unusually firm words, bean-sized raindrops fell cracklingly, soaking the ground.

"Fuck." Dunzi didn't expect the rain to come so quickly. He glanced at Lu Qing and urged her to go back quickly, "Put this on top."

He quickly took off his jacket and held it directly above Lu Qing's head, "Hurry back, or you'll fall hard."

"Oh, okay, I'm leaving then."

Lu Qing took over and pulled up the corner of his jacket with both hands. The raindrops hit it, and he felt completely protected. It seemed that the jacket, which carried the cool breath of a young man, had built a castle for him, protecting him from the wind and rain.

Thunder exploded in the sky, instantly bringing Lu Qing back to her senses. She felt a drop of rain falling on her cheek and stopped in her tracks...

"Lu Qing, why are you running?"

Dunzi chased the girl all the way and finally saw her on another street. He didn't know what was wrong with the girl. It was raining and she didn't know to hide. She just stood in the middle of the road and got wet in the rain.

Dunzi grabbed her wrist and pulled her under the eaves to shelter from the rain.

"Lu Qing, what's wrong with you? Why don't you hide when it rains? Don't think you can be willful just because you're a doctor. You'll be in trouble if you catch a cold."

Lu Qing felt his wrist was a little hot. Listening to the man muttering rudely, he seemed to recall the past.

"Liang Jingyi, why are you so long-winded now?" She suddenly called him by his full name and retorted rudely.

They had been in a friendly relationship for a long time, and were always polite and courteous to everyone they met. Lu Qing hadn't spoken like this for a long time, but he felt quite refreshed.

"You still dare to say I'm nagging?" Dunzi glared at her. "I'm saying this because we all come from the same courtyard. We're all strangers in a foreign land, don't you understand? When fellow villagers meet, they shed tears, don't you understand?"

"Why haven't you changed?" Lu Qing looked at him sideways. Because he had just been caught in the rain, his white shirt was sticking to his body. He wondered if it was uncomfortable.

"My whole life has been like this. I usually pretend to be a rich man and a grandson when doing business. It's really frustrating." Dunzi said loudly.

"Really? I think you're good this way." Lu Qing thought he was good this way, as if he was no different from before, and under his outward appearance he still had the same innocent heart as before.

Everything about this person is good, very good, the only bad thing is that he doesn't like himself.

The author has something to say:

Qingqing, he just hasn't figured it out yet!
