"Thank you, I had a very happy and fulfilling day." Lin Zhenzhen gently shook her head. "But what I want to hear is more than just that."
"good."
Gong Yao lowered his eyelids, his eyes as deep as the sea.
"If I could, I would like to say happy birthday to you every year on this day."
Lin Zhenzhen tilted her head back, her eyes glistening with tears.
"Then it's settled, it's a deal."
"It's a deal."
-------------------------------------
Lin Zhenzhen opened her eyes.
The white ceiling is within reach, the bright sunlight pours in from the window behind me, and there's this familiar sense of unease.
Lin Zhenzhen sat up abruptly, and the first thing she did was reach for her phone next to her pillow.
Sure enough, the phone screen showed that today was September 1, 2014.
It seems that after leaving the previous scene, she traveled directly to a year later.
While Lin Zhenzhen was in a daze, her phone suddenly vibrated twice and a message popped up.
I took half a day off. I'll pick you up at the school gate at noon.
The sender was Gong Yao, and the time of sending was two hours ago.
It's noon, and it's already 10:30 in the morning.
Lin Zhenzhen quickly replied to him with a message, then got out of bed.
She was the only one in the dormitory at that time.
Because it was a four-person room with bunk beds and desks underneath, she easily found her wardrobe.
The cabinet was already small, and part of it was used to store books and miscellaneous items.
Among the white t-shirts that can be seen at a glance, the sequined lace dress stands out.
Lin Zhenzhen took out the dress.
Although the brand wasn't listed, she could tell by touch that the fabric used in the dress was very expensive.
This is not something that "I" can afford.
Lin Zhenzhen then realized that the phone she was holding was also the brand's latest model, and even the lowest configuration would have cost several thousand yuan in 2014.
The doubts in my heart deepened.
Regardless, let's see Gong Yao first.
Lin Zhenzhen finally chose a simple denim outfit, paired with black canvas shoes, and tied her long hair into a ponytail with a black rubber band.
There was only foundation and an eyebrow pencil on the dressing table. Lin Zhenzhen used them to apply a light makeup, which slightly improved her complexion.
After tidying up quickly, half an hour passed.
Lin Zhenzhen calculated the time and opened her chat box with Gong Yao again.
According to the chat logs, after repeating his senior year of high school, Gong Yao was admitted to the best police academy in the country.
The two had made a pact long ago to travel together in July when "themselves" were on summer vacation.
However, due to various reasons, she was unable to return home on time, and her original travel plans had to be shelved.
Gong Yao's school has a long military training period, and classes started in early August.
So, they haven't seen each other since after the Spring Festival.
Time quickly passed to 11:30.
Lin Zhenzhen picked up her bag from the table, preparing to go downstairs to find her way.
Just then, her roommate returned.
Seeing that she was about to leave, I casually asked, "Do you have work today?"
Lin Zhenzhen smiled and said, "No, it's something else."
"Okay, if it gets too late and you need me to pick you up, just send me a message."
The speaker was a spirited girl with short hair, who was conservatively estimated to be 1.75 meters tall and had a kind face.
Lin Zhenzhen nodded: "Yes, thank you."
The girl patted her on the back: "Little sister, why are you being so polite with me?"
At the same time, a string of information popped into Lin Zhenzhen's head: Hang Shuzhu, School of Information Science, a third-year student.
Lin Zhenzhen sensed her kindness: "Then I'll go first, we'll talk again when I get back tonight."
"Okay, be careful."
Lin Zhenzhen walked down to the dormitory building and slowly arrived at the agreed-upon No. 2 gate according to the signs.
It was lunchtime, and there was a large flow of people at the school gate.
Lin Zhenzhen stood still on the side of the street, vaguely sensing that someone was watching her.
She turned her head and saw a young couple on the other side of the zebra crossing.
The two men were holding hands and quickly approaching her.
Lin Zhenzhen thought this was someone she knew and was thinking about how to greet them.
The girl suddenly covered her mouth, her expression excited, and said, "Hey, are you... are you that...?"
Lin Zhenzhen frowned slightly, waiting for her to finish the second half of her sentence.
The girl, however, seemed to suddenly stutter, stiffening her neck and excitedly jumping up and down on the spot.
Lin Zhenzhen's gaze passed over her and landed on a tall figure under the shade of a tree not far away.
"Gong Yao, over here."
The young girl turned around in response and saw a tall boy wearing a camouflage t-shirt.
He had a buzz cut, wore military green tapered trousers, and black knee-high leather boots.
With sharp features and striking looks, he exudes a wild and intense aura of hormones.
In a short while, Gong Yao walked up to Lin Zhenzhen.
"Wow, so handsome..." The girl couldn't help but swoon.
Her boyfriend next to her pinched her arm hard and smiled apologetically, "Sorry."
Watching the two leave, Gong Yao asked, "Are they your friends?"
Lin Zhenzhen shook her head and replied, "No, you must have mistaken me for someone else."
