Chapter 25: God-given fate

"That's true." Lin Zhengran said calmly, "But she has known me since kindergarten."

"You..." Jiang Xueli was speechless and suddenly became angry. She clenched her fists and leaned forward with her hands behind her back, like an airplane with its nose tilted up: "Then what am I? I've known you the longest!"

"You two can be considered childhood sweethearts. As for the time you two knew each other, she was in the first and second grade of kindergarten, and you were in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade."

The more Lin Zhengran talked, the angrier Jiang Xueli became. She puffed up her cheeks and was about to hit Lin Zhengran with her little fist: "You're really infuriating!"

It just doesn't hurt.

"What's there to be angry about? There's no rule that I can only have one childhood sweetheart." Lin Zhengran caught her phantom fists one by one: "Besides, I'm telling the truth. You don't want me to lie to you, right?"

"That's true... If you lied to me, I would be even angrier when I find out later." She stopped punching, but closed her eyes and yelled again: "But I just feel something is wrong!"

She stared at Lin Zhengran, feeling angry but also strange at the same time. In the end, she could only snort and left with her twin ponytails tossed.

Lin Zhengran stood there and asked, "Leaving so fast? Don't you need me to take you there?"

"No need to send me off! I live just across the street! Go back and call your childhood sweetheart! She's waiting for you."

Lin Zhengran responded: "Then drive slowly on the road."

Jiang Xueli stopped walking, gritted her teeth, clenched her fists tightly, and turned back with the whole person ready to go: "Come and see me off! I told you not to see me off, so you won't! I'll make the call after you see me off."

"Didn't you say you didn't need me to send you off?"

"I didn't say that!" She was angry. "You usually bully me, why are you so obedient now? If you want to send me off, don't change your mind just because of what I said!"

Lin Zhengran wanted to say that he really didn't care whether he was sent off or not, and he went downstairs mainly to talk about singing.

Jiang Xueli knew that if she said anything else, he might not send her off, so she walked straight to him and looked up at him: "Big idiot, send me off."

Lin Zhengran looked at her in shame, these little girls were really troublesome.

After sending Jiang Xueli, who smelled of jealousy, away, Lin Zhengran returned home to answer the phone.

As a result, He Qing opened her mouth and said, "Who was playing at your house just now? Was it a girl?"

Lin Zhengran: “.”

This winter the snow fell heavier and earlier than in previous years. Although Jiang Xueli started humming from time to time after knowing that she had a childhood sweetheart, she was still very serious about learning to sing.

It’s almost the twelfth lunar month, and Lin Zhengran is going to the mall today to buy some music materials to teach Jiang Xueli.

It was snowing heavily. Lin Zhengran was walking towards the mall on the not-so-thick snow when he passed a corner.

A girl wearing a down jacket, a leg-revealing artifact and a scarf was walking on the same road as him. There was an indescribable jasmine scent on the girl's body.

Lin Zhengran didn't care at first. He just saw that the girl was walking as fast as him and was ahead of him.

The scarf under her long hair reached her waist, swaying like a fox's tail with every step.

After walking for a distance, the girl with the scarf seemed to feel that someone was following her and looked back.

Lin Zhengran then realized that not only did her scarf resemble a fox, but she looked like one too.

Her oval face has delicate features, especially her eyes, which have a natural charm, making her look like a reincarnated fox spirit, very distinctive.

Because the mall was very close to the junior high school he was about to attend, Lin Zhengran was very familiar with this road, but the fox didn't seem to know the route very well.

He walked to a bus stop and blinked his fox eyes in confusion: "Where is No. 1 Middle School? I can't even recognize the road in the snow."

Lin Zhengran casually pointed to the road in the distance and said, "No. 1 Middle School is at the end."

The fox looked at him curiously and smiled in thanks: "Thank you handsome man."

The two people parted ways. Lin Zhengran picked out the materials in the mall and received a call from Jiang Xueli on the way.

"You big idiot, are you going shopping? Why didn't you ask me to come with you?"

Lin Zhengran picked and chose: "What do you want me to do? I'll find you after I buy these things. Just wait at home."

When I was about to leave the mall after buying things, I met the fox again on the way out. It seemed that she also wanted to buy things.

When they met for the second time, the little fox nodded politely to Lin Zhengran because he had helped him before.

Lin Zhengran also nodded.

Passing by, the little fox picked up the phone to report the travel situation to her best friend:

"Hey Qingqing? I went to No. 1 Middle School and saw it. The environment is nice. Although you are not allowed to enter, it looks very beautiful!" She covered her mouth and listened to her best friend's description: "I know, I will take a couple of photos for you and tell you about this trip when I get back."

Because he had to take the bus back home, Lin Zhengran walked to the bus stop with his things. The bus to the small town only came every half an hour.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier. Except for the roads, the whole city was covered in white. The bus shelters were also covered with a thick layer of snow.

A man waited at the bus stop for ten minutes.

Finally, another person came to wait for the bus.

It’s just that the other person looks unusually familiar.

Han Wenwen was carrying her shopping bags when she saw the boy she had met for the third time at the station. Even she couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion.

Lin Zhengran was even more confused.

The two people smiled at each other and stood on either side of the bus stop.

Lin Zhengran looked into the distance and suddenly remembered something. Wasn't the friend that He Qing made in the south a fox? Her name seemed to be Wenwen? But it shouldn't be like the one he met today.

Han Wenwen was on the other end, poking at the screen of her phone. The cold turned her fingertips pink.

After chatting with my bestie for a while and looking through the photos in the album, I suddenly saw the photos of the Lianxin Festival half a year ago.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It is said that after praying for a marriage on Lianxin Festival, the true love will appear within a year. Even if the person praying for a marriage is not with the true love for the time being, they will definitely meet each other in some circumstances.

Han Wenwen smiled and sent the school photos she took to He Qing. For the past six months, she had been curious about how her true love would appear.

The sound of a cat's meow interrupted Han Wenwen's WeChat chat and also interrupted Lin Zhengran's thoughts.

The two of them looked behind them together.

I found a kitten on a big tree behind the bus stop. It couldn't come down from the treetop and seemed to be making pitiful sounds because of the cold.

Lin Zhengran and Han Wenwen didn't say anything, they just walked over and took a look tacitly.

The tree trunk was very straight and tall, and it was snowing so I couldn't use my hands to climb up.

"Can it be rescued? Such a small cat will be frozen to death if it is not saved." Han Wenwen asked.

Lin Zhengran looked up at the shivering kitten and said, "Go find a cardboard box, and I'll find a stool and give it a try."

"good."

The two men each went to find tools, and soon they returned to the tree with full energy.

Lin Zhengran placed a broken chair under the tree and Han Wenwen supported him.

Lin Zhengran held up a huge cardboard box and called the kitten to jump into it.

Perhaps the kitten sensed the kindness of the two people and tried to muster up the courage to jump into the cardboard box, but it slipped and fell down. Fortunately, Lin Zhengran was quick to catch the kitten into the box.

Han Wenwen was startled.

After rescuing the kitten, Han Wenwen squatted on the ground, touched the kitten's head, and smiled happily.

"This shouldn't be a stray cat, right? I see something tied around its neck," she said.

"Wait here for a while, maybe someone will come and find you."

"Um."

The two stood together under the bus stop. Han Wenwen squatted on the ground to take care of the kitten and took the initiative to speak: "My name is Han Wenwen."

Han Wenwen... Lin Zhengran felt that this name was the same as He Qing's best friend's name... "Lin Zhengran."

"Your last name is Lin?" Han Wenwen looked up in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Zhengran's eyes were different from those of other boys, because he was not as naive as his peers. Once they made eye contact, Han Wenwen, who was good at observing men's thoughts, noticed it immediately and smiled and shook her head: "Nothing, the name is nice."

She lowered her head and touched the kitten's head, curious if Lian Xinjie was really so accurate. She had met so many boys, but this boy's eyes were completely different from those of the other boys, as if he was not interested in her at all, and everything was so coincidental.

Han Wenwen spoke again.

"If we are destined to meet, perhaps we will meet again in the future." She tilted her head and said to Lin Zhengran with a smile, with a hint of coquettishness.

Lin Zhengran thought to himself, if you are really He Qing’s best friend, then we will definitely meet again.

"Perhaps."
