Chapter 31
After Lin Zhen ate the popsicle, the stuffiness in the car disappeared at once. She felt a slight coolness seeping into her heart, and her whole body felt refreshed.
Originally, she wanted to see which stop Fu Guannan would get off, but Lin Zhen really felt that the car was crowded and stuffy, and her original plan was to go to the bookstore to buy books. In the end, she got off at this stop as planned. Anyway, it was not too far from her home, and it would only take about ten minutes to walk there.
It was already past seven o'clock when Lin Zhen finished buying the books.
After returning home, Lin Zhen searched for the class group number, joined the group, and then changed her nickname.
People in the group have been asking about the news of grouping.
Some classmates showed me the way, and some even sent me pictures of their groups.
Lin Zhen saw that she was indeed the team leader. The other team members were Fu Guannan and her deskmate. She had no deep impression of the other three.
Shi Jinjun and Xia Yeheng were not in her group.
At this time, a message came from WeChat.
Friend verification message from "Shimo".
Lin Zhen looked at the note, Shang Pingmo from the "old class children" of Class 17, Grade 2.
The group leader needed to invite all group members to join the WeChat group. Lin Zhen found Fu Guannan and two other classmates in the group.
Lin Zhen first pulled Wang Huanxiao and Shang Pingmo into the group.
Fu Guannan, who had already arrived at his grandparents' house, saw the message and clicked to agree.
"The Fire of the Wood Forest" Fu Guannan murmured when he saw Lin Zhen's WeChat name.
Lin Zhen’s portrait is an abstract tree, composed of just a few simple black and white strokes.
"Why is there no fire?"
While Fu Guannan was observing, Grandma Fu next to him noticed that Fu Guannan was looking at his phone for a long time.
"Guannan, are you chatting with your classmates?"
"No." Fu Guannan glanced at his grandmother, put his phone away, and continued eating.
"Come to think of it, we have a lot of classmates from your school here too. Maybe you'll see someone you know."
"Oh, that's possible."
Fu Guannan didn't think it was such a coincidence, so he just said it casually.
Seeing that Fu Guannan agreed, Lin Zhen on the other side pulled him into the group.
In order for them to study every day, the head teacher specially arranged that everyone must do homework, except for special circumstances where there are no exemptions.
After gathering everyone, Lin Zhen took a shower and prepared to do her homework. This Q test was going to be difficult, and Lin Zhen had to work hard to catch up.
By the time Lin Zhen finished writing the physics assignment for today and checked the answers, it was already eleven o'clock.
At this time, Shi Jinjun and Shi's mother also came back.
After Lin Zhen finished her homework, she went to take a shower. She would memorize some words later and then go to bed.
On the first day of the holiday, Lin Zhen prepared to get up and go for a run, in order to lose weight and for the sake of her health.
Just throw away the garbage.
"Today is a holiday, Xiaozhen, why don't you sleep a little longer?" When her mother saw Lin Zhen got up early and was wearing sportswear, she couldn't help but ask another question.
"Are you going for a run?"
Lin Zhen smiled and nodded at her mother, "Yes, exercise is good for your health."
When her mother saw this, she also smiled.
She felt that Xiaozhen had become much more active recently.
Lin Zhen took the garbage downstairs, threw it away, and then started running around the park near the community for half an hour, and then went to stretch her legs.
After Lin Zhen finished running, her face was red, the hair on her forehead was soaked with sweat, and she was sweating all over.
Lin Zhen walked to the elevator door. As the elevator opened, she glanced at the man in a blue T-shirt and black shorts. He was holding a black plastic bag, presumably for garbage. Lin Zhen didn't have her glasses on, so she could vaguely see what it looked like. It looked a lot like Fu Guannan.
As soon as the elevator opened, Fu Guannan saw Lin Zhen, sweating profusely and staring at him. He was shocked and blurted out, "Why are you here?"
Does she live here?
Fu Guannan walked out of the elevator, holding the garbage in his hand, and stood in front of Lin Zhen, looking at her in sportswear, her cheeks flushed from exercise.
She was not wearing glasses today, and Fu Guannan could clearly see her wide-open eyes. He could clearly see the confusion and surprise in her eyes.
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Zhen was surprised and happy.
"Fu Guannan?"
Perhaps it was because Fu Guannan was certain that Lin Zhen liked him, but he could hear the surprise and joy in Lin Zhen's tone.
Afterwards, Fu Guannan looked down at his slippers and his pajamas. He actually felt a little embarrassed that his classmates saw him like this.
Fu Guannan smiled awkwardly, "Do you live here?"
"Yes, do your grandparents live here?"
Lin Zhen still remembers what Fu Guannan said yesterday about his trip to his grandparents' house during National Day.
"Well, my grandparents are here."
"That's quite a coincidence."
"Then we are quite lucky."
The two said it in unison. The first sentence was said by Fu Guannan, and the second sentence was said by Lin Zhen.
As the two were talking face to face, the elevator door opened.
Shi Jinjun saw Lin Zhen and Fu Guannan standing together and frowned, "Why is he here?"
Lin Zhen saw Shi Jinjun coming out with her schoolbag, and asked that question when she saw her looking at her.
When Fu Guannan saw Shi Jinjun, he exclaimed in surprise, "Shi Jinjun? You two... live in the same building?"
Fu Guannan thought about it and remembered that he had seen the two of them walking together the night before. At that time, he was as surprised as his classmates. The two had almost no interaction in the class, but they actually knew each other.
"We live together, and my father and her mother are married." Lin Zhen explained her relationship with Shi Jinjun to Fu Guannan.
"Then I never thought you two had this kind of relationship."
Shi Jinjun ignored Fu Guannan's words, but seeing Lin Zhen sweating profusely, he said, "Go back and take a shower. Breakfast is still hot."
After hearing this, Lin Zhen smiled brightly.
Fu Guannan was puzzled when he saw that the two seemed to have a good relationship, but he also thought about it and felt that both of them seemed to have the silent type of personality, which was not surprising in the class.
Shi Jinjun and Fu Guannan walked out of the door together, neither of them saying a word. Fu Guannan wanted to ask something, but when he saw Shi Jinjun's cold glance, he shut up.
After throwing away the garbage, Fu Guannan went back and vaguely saw the backs of Xia Yeheng and Shi Jinjun. He felt surprisingly calm.
The throbbing of youth can sometimes be hard to tell whether it's admiration or liking. The affection we develop as teenagers often develops from connections and fantasies, gradually developing into what we perceive as liking. But when the connection is severed and the fantasies fade, that tinged affection, tinged with strange emotions, slowly fades.
After Fu Guannan went to throw away the garbage, he saw Lin Zhen still standing there waiting for the elevator.
This elevator took too long to come down, didn't it? Fu Guannan muttered to himself.
In fact, the elevator had already come down when Shi Jinjun and Fu Guannan went out just now.
Lin Zhen went in, pressed the button for the 17th floor, and then went out.
At this moment, the elevator door opened and an old lady came out.
The two waited for the old lady to come out. After Fu Guannan waited for Lin Zhen to go in, he followed her in.
The elevator rose slowly, and a strange air current surged in the narrow space, sticking to the two people little by little.
"Which floor?"
Fu Guannan pressed the ninth floor, looked at Lin Zhen again, and asked.
"Thirteen."
When Lin Zhen said this, he looked up at Fu Guannan.
Fu Guannan was dressed casually today, looking as if he had just gotten out of bed, his hair a little messy. Lin Zhen looked at the face that had drawn the girls from their school to the classroom to watch, and thought to herself, he was quite handsome.
Fu Guannan found that whenever he was with Lin Zhen, he always felt something was strange. Just now, he always felt that Lin Zhen was deliberately waiting for him to come back.
He had accidentally heard the female classmate in front of him say something, that if you like someone, you should create opportunities for them to meet.
This was the first time that Fu Guannan felt that being liked was a confusing thing.
The reason was that he had gradually developed his own understanding of the concept of love. Previously, girls liked him because of his looks and perhaps his grades. He had heard all this from others.
But Fu Guannan was a little confused as to whether Lin Zhen's feelings towards him were also like this, but he always felt that it was not the case. As for why, he couldn't explain it.
The two people in the elevator had their own thoughts in their minds.
