Throwing his phone onto the sofa, Xiao Xingyu pinched his excellent nose and fell backwards onto it. With lingering anger, he threw off his slippers and kicked his left pinky toe against the corner of the coffee table with a "bang!" It was so unlucky that even drinking water would get stuck in his teeth. A piercing pain shot through his limbs like an electric current. Xiao Xingyu bared his teeth, holding his feet and curling up on the sofa.
A few days later, Sunday.
The sea lion theater in Ocean Park was bustling with people. As the female trainer on the stage had the sea lions perform handstands, weightlifting, and even addition and subtraction within ten, the audience's admiration and applause rose one after another, creating a sea of joy.
Zhang Moyan was sitting among thousands of spectators, clapping her hands until they were sore.
She never knew how to define success, but when she saw the tall Zhu Lili performing a sea lion show in the center of the stage with high spirits and becoming the focus of everyone's attention, she felt that this was success. A person is successful when he realizes his dream, no matter how big or small the dream is.
After the final curtain call, Zhu Lili, who had just finished a series of games with the sea lions, walked directly around the stage, ran to the first row where Zhang Moyan was with a smile on her face, and presented her with a wreath and put it on her head.
This action made countless children who were leaving the scene envious, and a lot of envious exclamations suddenly rang out around Zhang Moyan.
"Mo Yan! How was my performance?" Zhu Lili asked happily and confidently with a slight gasp.
Zhang Moyan praised sincerely, "That's amazing! I feel like you're glowing. I can't believe you're a classmate I know! I took tons of pictures of you!"
"I'm so happy to hear you say that! I really wish everyone I knew back then could come and see my performance!" Zhu Lili smiled until her mouth was stretched to its maximum, turned around the stairs and sat next to Zhang Moyan.
Zhang Moyan's depressed mood also brightened up after seeing this cheerful old classmate. She took out the gift she had prepared from her bag and said, "Lili, it's been years since we last met and I didn't know what to bring you. I remember you loved Barbie dolls back then, so I bought one for you."
Zhu Lili opened the box in surprise and said flatteredly, "It's the 60th anniversary classic black and white model. This Barbie has a beauty mark. Moyan, you're such a good buy!" She reached out and gave Zhang Moyan a big hug. "Moyan, I've always seen that you're a cold-hearted person with a warm heart!"
Zhang Moyan smiled awkwardly: "As long as you like it!"
"Of course I like it," Zhu Lili said, moving away and looking around at the now empty crowd. "By the way, where is Senior Jin? Why can't I see him?"
Zhang Moyan said, "Xueyang had something to do today and didn't come. He told me to tell you that he would definitely find time to come over and see you soon!"
"Okay, he's really a busy man!" Zhu Lili nodded and changed the subject, "By the way, you two are still together after all these years! I'm really surprised. Tell me, are you getting married soon? I'm telling you, you must invite me to the wedding. At least I can be considered a witness to the success of your campus love!"
Zhang Moyan's expression was confused for a moment, and after confirming that she had heard correctly, she quickly corrected him, "Lili, you misunderstood. Xueyang and I are not in the relationship you think."
"Is this true?" Zhu Lili looked Zhang Moyan up and down in disbelief. "Back then, everyone said you two were a couple!"
Zhang Moyan smiled and shook her head: "He and I are just close friends."
"Friend?" Zhu Lili seemed to be stuck on a math problem. After a long pause, she sighed, "Zhang Moyan, you've really caused so much trouble. I heard that many underclassmen wanted to pursue Senior Jin, but they all backed off because you were always with him, as if you were staking your claim on him! You, you're such a romantic blocker!"
"Really?" Zhang Moyan was surprised.
Zhu Lili nodded her head genuinely.
Zhang Moyan never thought that she had once blocked Jin Xueyang's good marriage. When she thought about how he had gone astray now, if a little girl had chased Jin Xueyang at that time, perhaps he would not be on this path now, she suddenly felt that she was deeply sinful.
"By the way, will you come with Senior Jin next time he comes?" Zhu Lili asked.
"Well... of course." Zhang Moyan felt a little pained for the more than 300 yuan ticket to the aquarium.
Zhu Lili seemed to notice something and winked at her. "Don't buy a ticket next time you come in. I told you to call me but I didn't listen. I said I would bring you in! Just call me whenever you want to come. There are so many things to see in our aquarium. Have you ever been there?"
Zhang Moyan nodded in agreement: "I've seen quite a few just now."
"Then what do you like most?" Zhu Lili looked at Zhang Moyan with anticipation.
Zhang Moyan didn't realize her anticipation and blurted out, "I like the jellyfish museum the most." "Huh?" Zhu Lili looked at Zhang Moyan in disbelief. "No way, if you said you liked the white whale show or the mermaids, I'd think you deserved it. Jellyfish? Those single-celled animals? Are you sure?"
Zhang Moyan nodded confidently. "What's wrong with a simple single-celled organism? Seeing those beautiful jellyfish dancing gently makes me feel peaceful. I really want to come here more often."
"Okay..." Zhu Lili looked at her in confusion, and then emphasized again, "Then come more often if you like, and remember to call me!"
Zhang Moyan knew her good intentions, but still said, "I'd better apply for an annual pass, so I can feel more at ease." Besides, the little grandmother said she wanted to come to the Ocean Park during the summer vacation, and she couldn't let the children see such a thing as taking the back door!
Thinking of this, Zhang Moyan suddenly made up his mind.
Alas, she has already broken up with Xiao Xingyu, so how could it be her turn to lead Xiao Maner to the Ocean Park?
