Chapter 183 Finale - Part 2
The class reunion in the county town was held in a state-owned restaurant. When Fubao and Gu Shengtian arrived, quite a few people had already arrived. When they saw Fubao, they gathered around her and started talking a lot, asking her questions. Fubao answered all of them one by one. One classmate also asked her about her parents, and Fubao told them. Naturally, everyone was happy for her.
"Fubao is good to us and has brought us great fortune. She is a good person, and good people should be rewarded."
After a female classmate mentioned this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Everyone is grateful to Fubao. In the past, although we were grateful, we didn't have a deep understanding of it. Later, when I went to university, I asked my classmates, some of whom were also from rural counties. After asking them, I realized that other people in a county might only have one or two people who passed the exam, and that was considered good.
They proudly talked about how many students from their county passed the exam, which shocked many classmates on the spot and made them curiously ask how their county could be so successful.
And how did he become so powerful? It was all because of Fubao.
It can be said that throughout the entire party, Fubao was surrounded by everyone and worshipped like a god. When the party was about to end, everyone left their contact addresses and said they wanted to write to Fubao or something.
When the party was over, several girls took Fubao to go shopping in the county town. Fubao asked Gu Shengtian what his plans were. Gu Shengtian planned to visit his deskmate's house, so the two of them went their separate ways and agreed to meet in front of the county party committee in the evening.
When the female classmates were shopping, they naturally had endless things to talk about. They looked here and there, and talked about school matters. Soon it was getting late.
When Fubao saw this, he hurried to the gate of the county party committee. However, when he arrived, he didn't see Gu Shengtian, so he had to wait there.
While waiting, he happened to see Li Jianbai coming out of the county party committee carrying a net bag and an empty lunch box. It turned out that Li Mingshuan was working overtime today, and he came to deliver lunch to Li Mingshuan.
Li Jianbai smiled when he saw Fubao.
There were too many people at the party today, so he didn't have a chance to talk to her. He didn't expect to meet her at this time.
I didn't leave at the moment, but stood there and talked with them. We were all young people and had only been in university for half a year, so naturally we had a lot of topics to talk about, such as how to learn English and the curriculum of Imperial University of Peking.
Fubao is also willing to share his learning experiences. He not only talked about his English learning experience, but also mentioned his participation in a Chinese character input method group. He said: "I've been listening to some English news recently. Computers will become more and more important in our lives in the future. We still have to keep up with the trend in this area."
Li Jianbai agreed with this, but it was a pity that his school did not have a computer-related research group, otherwise he would also like to join.
The two of them got more and more interested in each other as they chatted. Later, when the street lights in the county town were already on, Gu Shengtian still hadn't arrived. Fubao was a little worried. Li Jianbai comforted her in a gentle voice, "It's okay. I'll go with you to his classmate's house to check it out."
Fu Bao said gratefully, "Okay, I really don't know the way, so please walk for me."
Li Jianbai lowered his head, looking at Fubao's serene and gentle smile under the dim streetlight. He couldn't help but smile, and his voice was also a little intimate: "Don't be polite, I want to go over and take a look too. It's a good opportunity, let's go together!"
Who knew that just as he finished speaking, he heard a voice say, "I won't bother you with this."
The voice was low and steady, penetrating the thin night.
Fubao looked over and saw that it was Xiao Dingkun.
He was wearing a thick coat, with one of his slender and powerful thighs supporting himself on the ground, while the other foot was on the footrest. He lowered his head slightly, and his dark eyes were fixed on Fubao and Li Jianbai.
When Fubao saw Xiao Dingkun, he immediately smiled: "Brother Dingkun, why are you here?"
Xiao Dingkun said calmly, "I went into the city for something and met Shengtian. I asked him to go back first. I'll take you back on my bike."
Li Jianbai was slightly stunned. Who was this person in front of him? Fu Bao was too intimate and casual when speaking to him. The tone was completely different from when he spoke to him just now.
But thinking about how she just called him "Brother Dingkun", he guessed that this was probably one of her many cousins or brothers?
He immediately stepped forward to greet him.
Xiao Dingkun set up his bicycle and his eyes fell on Li Jianbai's warm smile. He said in a calm voice, "Hello, I'm Fubao's boyfriend, Xiao Dingkun."
The smile on Li Jianbai's face froze instantly, and it took a long time before he slowly recovered.
Xiao Dingkun looked at him and raised his eyebrows. "Are you Li Jianbai? Fubao mentioned you to me a long time ago, saying that you had helped him before. Thank you for helping Fubao. I'm very happy to see you."
As he spoke, he came over and shook hands with Li Jianbai.
Li Jianbai's expression was a little dull, but he still shook hands. Xiao Dingkun's hands were very strong, and his hands hurt from being squeezed so hard.
After shaking hands, he looked at Fubao for confirmation.
This so-called Fubao's partner, Xiao Dingkun, seemed to have fallen from the sky. He had never been mentioned before, nor had he appeared in front of Fubao. How did he suddenly appear?
Did you date him in college? But he was dating in college, and it's only been half a year. How could he bring him back to his hometown?
Moreover, it seemed that he knew everything about him and Fubao during their middle school days.
Fubao suddenly saw Xiao Dingkun and didn't think much about it. But when Xiao Dingkun faced Li Jianbai directly and Li Jianbai had that expression again, she suddenly realized something.
He immediately explained, "Jianbai, Brother Dingkun was an educated youth who went to the countryside from our village. We've known each other since childhood and have always been very close. We've been in correspondence. He was the one who gave me the college entrance examination review materials."
When he said this, Li Jianbai was stunned.
He looked at Xiao Dingkun again.
When he saw Fubao again this time, he naturally had some expectations in his heart. He thought about getting his contact address, contacting him frequently, writing letters, and slowly pursuing him again. He had already thought about how to start and express his feelings in the future.
But just as he was beginning to plan, a lucky guy appeared.
Li Jianbai was speechless for a long time after listening to Fubao's explanation. The county town on a winter night was so cold that it made people feel chilled.
Fubao felt a little sorry when she saw Li Jianbai's expression. She didn't think much about it when she was chatting with Li Jianbai. After all, they were classmates before, and her parents got along well with Li Mingshuan. Li Mingshuan and his wife had done her a favor. It was normal to chat with Li Jianbai more and exchange ideas on learning when she met him.
But she didn't expect that Li Jianbai actually had some other ideas.
For a moment, I felt a little relieved. Fortunately, Brother Dingkun came across it, saw through it, and gave me a blow. This is good, as it stopped some impossible thoughts.
Li Jianbai didn't say anything else. He just spoke a few vague words to Fubao Xiao Dingkun and then left in a hurry.
When he walked, he wrapped his cotton coat tightly, lowered his head slightly, and walked very fast.
Fubao looked at his back and sighed softly in his heart.
In fact, among her high school classmates, she was still happy to communicate with Li Jianbai. When he mentioned his interest in computers, she even promised to send him some information. But now, even if the two of them continue to exchange letters, they probably won't be as comfortable as before.
Xiao Dingkun walked over, stood beside her, and looked at Li Jianbai's back with her.
He was watching with her like this, so she felt uncomfortable continuing to watch. She said helplessly, "Brother Dingkun, why did you come to the county town?"
Xiao Dingkun looked at the road in the distance, where no one had been seen, and saw the streetlights shining down. He said casually, "I suddenly remembered that I needed to go to the county town to buy something, so I came here."
When Fubao heard what he said, he looked over in confusion.
Under the dim light, the interweaving of light and shadow made Xiao Dingkun's face look particularly mysterious. She deliberately asked, "Really?"
Xiao Dingkun: "Really."
Fubao snorted: "I don't believe it!"
Xiao Dingkun raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a meaningful look: "Then what am I here for?"
Fubao thought to himself that he must have said on the surface that he would not come with him to the class reunion, but in fact he was still worried, so he came here specially.
As if she couldn't see it, when she talked to a boy for a long time, the look in his eyes became strange.
Before Huo Jinze was around, he was very wary of Huo Jinze every day, just like he was guarding against a thief.
Fubao couldn't understand his thoughts before, but now that they have been together for a long time, he knows a little bit. Seeing that he was deliberately asking him, he simply kept silent.
Xiao Dingkun held her hand and pulled her to face him: "Hmm? Tell me, what am I here for?"
Fubao avoided his gaze and snorted, then couldn't help laughing: "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
Xiao Dingkun's eyes locked onto the girl's charming appearance: "What am I thinking?"
Fubao looked at him with a charming smile, "I'm afraid someone will snatch me away!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Dingkun took a deep breath in the night, and the cold air entered his chest. Xiao Dingkun felt that there were a thousand and ten thousand emotions brewing in his heart.
Yes, he was afraid. He was afraid that someone else would snatch her away from him, that he could not defeat the so-called fate, that all his efforts would be in vain.
Especially what Huo Jinze said to Fubao that day made him feel uneasy.
In the darkness of the night, he slowly held her in his arms, carefully and firmly protecting her with his two strong arms.
"Fubao, you know exactly what I'm thinking, so why do you still talk to other men like that?"
Xiao Dingkun's coat was very thick, and Fubao was almost wrapped in his black coat when he was hugged like this.
In this strong warmth and care, she heard a man's hoarse voice and gritted teeth in her ear.
"Why am I talking?"
Fubao reflected on it and felt that she and Li Jianbai were just communicating normally as classmates.
But of course, she didn't think of telling Li Jianbai in time that she already had a partner, which was her fault.
But she was just a classmate, and no one asked. She couldn't just go up to him and tell him, "I already have a partner, so don't have that kind of thoughts about me."
"You smiled at him,"
"I smiled at all my classmates! As long as they didn't provoke me, they would smile and talk."
"He still looks at you like that."
"That look? What look?"
"The look of someone wanting to hook up."
"...How would I know what it means to be in a relationship?"
"It's the look in Li Jianbai's eyes."
"I forgot. I'll call him over to see it."
"you--"
Knowing that she did it on purpose, Xiao Dingkun couldn't help but grind his teeth on her tender tofu-like cheek.
"No, this is on the street—"
Fubao couldn't stand it anymore, she started to protest. This was on the street, in the county town. The county town was not the capital, and the customs here were still stuck in the past hundred years!
However, the night was hazy, the lights were dim, and there was not even a single pedestrian to be seen on this cold winter night.
Xiao Dingkun is unscrupulous.
After a long time, he put his arm around Fubao's waist, who was almost half leaning on him, and lowered his head, letting her look into his eyes.
Fubao's eyes were blurry and soft, and he almost didn't dare to look directly into those deep black eyes.
Xiao Dingkun asked her, "Now, do you know what that look is?"
Yes, she knew, she knew what that look was, it was an almost greedy desire to swallow her whole.
Fubao sighed softly, "Brother Dingkun, you're going too far."
He cared about her, and of course she liked it. The feeling of being valued by her beloved always made her feel sweet. But besides the sweetness, she also felt that he was too possessive.
It was as if he couldn't bear to see her leave for a moment and hated to let anyone get close to her.
Xiao Dingkun was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Really? You think I'm going too far?"
Fubao: "Eh, not really. I just feel like you're always worried that I'll run away with someone else..."
After saying this, she suddenly laughed.
Xiao Dingkun didn't laugh. He put his arm around her shoulders and was silent for a long time before saying, "Yes, I was worried that you would run away."
Fubao: “…What are you thinking about!”
There was a distant look in Xiao Dingkun's eyes that Fubao couldn't understand: "You don't understand, you think it's impossible, but I always feel uneasy."
These words were spoken in a low and lonely voice, and Fubao's heart suddenly felt as if it was clamped by a pair of pliers, causing a slight pain. She looked up at him in confusion: "Brother Dingkun?"
Xiao Dingkun pursed his lips and said nothing more. He took her hand and walked over to the bicycle, asking her to get on. He wanted to take her back.
The streets at night were deserted and almost silent. Bicycle tires rolled slowly on the mottled cement road, rolling over the red firecracker shells left over from the grand opening ceremony and the occasional scattered dead leaves.
The moon has risen, half-circle, hanging high in the night sky.
Although the New Year has passed, the air is still dry and cold. The cold air rushes into Fubao's nostrils, forcing Fubao to take a deep breath.
She raised her arms, wrapped them around the man's strong waist from the back of the bicycle, and pressed her face against his back.
You can feel that the man paused slightly, and then the speed of pedaling the bicycle seemed to slow down.
The night was beautiful, the road was long, and he wanted to go home slowly with her.
Fubao put his face on his back, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "Brother Dingkun."
The man in front didn't say much, just nodded lightly.
Fubao smiled and hugged his waist tighter: "Brother Dingkun, you are Fubao's, right?"
After saying this, the man stopped riding his bicycle. The bicycle started to rotate with the chain due to its inertia, making a clicking sound.
It was a long time before she heard him say, "Yes."
Fubao smiled even more. She opened her eyes, looked at the half-moon hanging in the night sky, looked at the stars, and said loudly on the empty street: "Then Fubao also belongs to Brother Dingkun. It belongs to me today, tomorrow, and forever."
The crisp sound rang out on the deserted streets, in the cold winter night, and in Xiao Dingkun's heart.
With a stretch of his powerful long legs, he supported himself on the ground, and the bicycle was forced to stop.
Fubao was surprised and saw Xiao Dingkun slightly tilt his head.
Under the stars and the moon, the man's profile was tough and three-dimensional, with slightly raised sword-like eyebrows and a tall and straight nose. All of this was clearly outlined in the hazy light as if by a pencil.
It was so quiet that Fubao could hear his slow and steady breathing.
Fubao stared at such a man in a daze.
For a moment, she even felt that in the past time that she was unfamiliar with, he had been by her side, day by day, year by year.
After a long time, so long that it seemed like a lifetime, she heard the man say in a hoarse voice, "Okay, Fubao, I'll remember what you said."
A stone that had been hanging in the air for who knows how many years finally fell to the ground.
He believed her.
She is a blessed treasure, and her words have been spoken, and nothing will change in this life.
