Chapter 38
That very night, Lin Zhen received a WeChat message from Fu Guannan.
It's a photo.
Photo of a brown puppy.
This is a cake.
Is it what you imagined?
Lin Zhen was riding in the elevator with Shi Jinjun when she saw the WeChat message.
When Shi Jinjun accidentally saw Lin Zhen looking at her phone with a smile on her face, he wondered who Lin Zhen was messaging.
Could it be Fu Guannan? They've been getting pretty close lately.
Lin Zhen didn't know that Shi Jinjun was looking at her. Her attention was focused on chatting with Fu Guannan.
It looks very nice.
【You're home? So quick.】
Lin Zhen's finger paused in the input box for a long time, she typed a few words carefully, and then exited WeChat with full of anticipation.
Seeing Lin Zhen looking like a young girl in love, Shi Jinjun immediately understood: "I know you've been very close to Fu Guannan recently. I have no right to interfere with your relationship."
Shi Jinjun put her hands in her school uniform pockets, hunched over, and leaned her back against the elevator wall, looking at her stepsister seriously: "But, if it's true, don't get too involved now."
After hearing what Shi Jinjun said, Lin Zhen raised her eyes slightly and asked, "What about you and Xia Yeheng? You are with him, right?"
Lin Zhen knew Shi Jinjun was doing this for her own good, so she reminded her a few times. However, these words made her feel a little uncomfortable, as if her parents disapproved of her being with Fu Guannan.
When he heard Xia Yeheng's name, Shi Jinjun thought of recent events and his eyes dimmed a little.
There may only be cause but no result between her and Xia Yeheng.
When Lin Zhen saw Shi Jinjun's expression suddenly change, although she was puzzled as to what was going on between the two of them, she was sensible enough not to ask any further questions.
The elevator door opened, breaking the silence in the elevator. The two returned to the room in silence, and they tacitly agreed not to ask about each other's affairs.
After returning to the room, Lin Zhen put down her phone and didn't check whether Fu Guannan had replied to her message. Instead, she picked up her pajamas and went to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, the sound of water was heard. Lin Zhen was thinking about everything that had happened between her and Fu Guannan from the first time they met until now. They actually didn't have much contact, and perhaps their relationship was just more than just friends.
To be honest, Shi Jinjun's words made Lin Zhen feel conflicted again.
Did I fall in love with him after just a few days together? Was this love coming too quickly?
Lin Zhen was afraid. She was afraid that she didn't really like Fu Guannan. She was afraid that she was just greedy for the vague and ambiguous pleasure between men and women. She was afraid that once she was with Fu Guannan, she would be bound by the eyes of others. Her abilities in all aspects were far behind Fu Guannan.
"You shouldn't hesitate when you like someone. If you hesitate, it means you don't like them that much."
"Liking someone requires careful consideration. Liking someone requires careful feeling, so the process is long."
There were two little people fighting in Lin Zhen's mind, and the things she had been certain of after going around in circles were turned up again.
After coming out of the bathroom, Lin Zhen turned on her cell phone.
I went home early today.
【How about you? Have you arrived home yet?】
Fu Guannan looked at the cake at his feet, lowered his head and randomly touched its little head, chuckling: "You look like this, and she actually praised you for being pretty."
cake:…
Mother Fu heard Fu Guannan's words in the kitchen and couldn't help but speak up for Cake: "Fu Guannan, you are just barely good-looking. Don't always say that your brother Cake is not good-looking, it will make him sad too."
"Woof woof woof" the cake agreed.
"Who has such good taste to praise our precious son's good looks?"
Mother Fu brought out the noodles, touched the top of the cake lovingly, and asked.
But she did not forget the tone of her son's usual speech. If it were his friend, he would definitely add that "so-and-so" has no taste.
But if it wasn't a friend, then it might have been someone else.
Mother Fu sat in front of Fu Guannan, trying to get something out of him.
My son has grown up. Does he have a girl he likes?
The thought of this made Mother Fu very excited. Her gossipy heart was stirred.
"Hasn't your friend ever seen a cake? How does he know it looks good?" Mother Fu asked seriously.
"I took pictures to show her."
Oh, you're taking photos? That means you added WeChat.
"A classmate from your class?"
"Yes." Fu Guannan didn't know that Fu's mother was digging out his little secret step by step.
"How are the people?"
"Hmm... He's pretty good. He studies very hard and is a very serious person. He seems very simple and has quite a good temperament."
Fu Guannan thought seriously for a while and expressed his opinion of Lin Zhen.
Simple, elegant...
"Since he is a nice person, then get along well with him. Classmates need to help each other and make progress together. If you really think that he is a good person, then cherish him. Sometimes, friends should be honest with each other and avoid misunderstandings, regrets and the like. At your age now, Mom hopes that you will just follow your heart. For things that you think you should not regret, then be brave." Mother Fu patted her son on the shoulder and advised.
After listening to this, Fu Guannan also knew what Fu's mother was referring to.
"What are you talking about? We're just... ordinary friends."
Fu's mother looked at Fu Guannan's guilty expression and knew he was lying, but she didn't expose him. She smiled and said, "Oh, just ordinary friends. Then finish eating quickly. Don't let your father see me cooking something special for you, or he'll nag me again about forgetting his share."
"Okay! I don't want to be scolded by him either." Fu Guannan saw that the topic was immediately changed and quickly responded.
In the Fu family, Dad Fu is recognized as the most stingy man in the family.
--
Lin Zhen picked up her phone and sat down on the bed: [It seems like you're coming home quite early tonight.]
Fu Guannan read the message when he returned to his room after having supper.
[Aren't you going to see the cake? I'll come back early.]
[My mother praised you for your good taste because you praised her baby son's good looks.]
The "baby son" Fu Guannan was referring to was the cake, because every time Fu's mother introduced the cake to others, she would always add the title of "baby son". Over time, Fu Guannan got used to the fact that he had a "little brother".
But Lin Zhen didn't understand and thought that the "darling son" referred to Fu Guannan himself, and that he had told Fu's mother what she had said before in the cinema praising his good looks.
Before Lin Zhen could reply, Fu Guannan realized that his words were ambiguous and explained.
[Don't get me wrong! My mom's baby boy refers to the cake, not me.]
Lin Zhen saw this and smiled: [Yeah.]
Fu Guannan thought about what Fu's mother had just said and felt conflicted.
Fu's father and mother were high school classmates, secretly in love with each other. However, neither dared to declare their feelings during their school years, and they only got together after they started working. Later, it was discovered that they were in love with each other. Even though they are now together, Fu's mother still feels a sense of regret: if they hadn't run into each other later, if they hadn't met, they would have truly missed each other.
Fu Guannan thought for a moment, then somehow typed out a few words: [Weekend, going to the movies?]
After sending the message, Fu Guannan realized what he had done and slapped his head in frustration.
Will this scare her?
When Fu Guannan thought of this, he immediately opened his mobile phone and wanted to withdraw the message, but found that it was no longer possible.
"Forget it, just follow your heart."
So Fu Guannan turned off his phone and put it aside. He was a little afraid to face what the outcome would be.
Now Fu Guannan is feeling excited, anxious and worried.
Will she agree?
When Lin Zhen saw the words "watch a movie", she was surprised and happy.
This is what Fu Guannan means to her, what about her?
Just as Lin Zhen was dealing with the message that made her feel hot inside, Shi Jinjun sent a WeChat message.
Just now in the elevator, I advised you not to get too involved because the most important thing right now is the college entrance exam. And you asked me back about me and Xia Yeheng. We were indeed together because I liked him and he liked me.
I have to admit that liking this thing will bring you some happiness and warmth, but it will also bring a lot of confusion because it has obstacles.
【The key is whether you want this love or not. 】
【Don’t leave any regrets.】
"Can I just do it...if I want it or not?" Lin Zhen whispered.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Zhen went to Fu Guannan's WeChat page and replied: [OK]
Fu Guannan, who was anxiously waiting for information, was delighted when he saw the word "good".
Thinking of something, Fu Guannan walked to the closet and rummaged through his clothes.
"This one... well, the color isn't pretty enough." Fu Guannan picked up a blue plush coat and frowned at it.
"This one makes me look a little less handsome." After a while, the boy in the brown coat said in disgust in front of the mirror, "Why does it look a bit like cake? No."
"New Year's Day is coming soon, how about wearing something festive? This purple one is nice, it makes me look energetic..." Fu Guannan admired himself in the mirror for a long time, then felt something was wrong, "I always feel that this one is not good enough, let's change it."
…
In another place.
"Ah! Why did I agree so quickly?! Isn't this very unreserved?" Lin Zhen buried her face in the quilt, pouting in annoyance.
Lin Zhenzheng couldn't sleep because of watching the movie.
"It's okay. We're classmates, we're just watching a movie anyway."
"Well, that's it." Lin Zhen kept persuading herself: This is not a big deal, go to bed quickly.
"But what should I wear that day?" Lin Zhen suddenly remembered that her wardrobe was full of loose sportswear, and she felt annoyed again.
Lin Zhen has been running recently. Although she hasn't lost much weight, at least she has lost a little weight.
She can use this as an excuse to buy new clothes...
So what color should I buy?
Do you want to wear a skirt?
Would it look bad if I wore a skirt?
As she was thinking, Lin Zhen fell asleep.
…
Most of us live a very unreal life. There are too many things we dare not do. We can only rely on fantasy to assume various possibilities, thinking about both good and bad.
Sometimes, young people have the courage to risk everything for a relationship. They dare to love and hate, and dare to fight and strive for that pure feeling.
It's not just because they only need to consider whether they want to or not, but also because they feel that if they do so, they won't have any regrets.
