Chapter 16: Oh my god!
"Thirteen, do you want a lighter?"
In the shabby shop, the owner was fanning himself, his eyes never leaving the TV.
The Metamorphosis was playing on it.
Seeing the children of rich people in the city being sent to the countryside and getting angry and smashing things, the boss couldn't help but sigh that the world is going downhill.
It's time to let the rich experience the hardship of life.
The thin girl shook her head, took out a few crumpled banknotes from her pocket, counted them carefully and put them on the table, then picked up the box of "Huiliqun" and turned around.
I just happened to see the boy in school uniform who stopped.
Zhai Da asked in surprise: "You smoke?"
Lu Wei subconsciously hid the cigarette box behind her back, her slender fingers tightened, "No."
"Taking a picture of a cigarette card?"
Lu Wei chose to remain silent.
I didn't understand.
Zhai Da looked around and asked, "Isn't your home in Niuma Village? Why are you here so late?"
"It's Sunma Village... I have something to do today, so I have to go to Woolen Mill Village."
Woolen Spinning Village 1 is called "Big Mao" by the locals. It is located diagonally opposite Zhai Da's Sanmao and is also the oldest of the several Maos. Most of the houses in it are bungalows.
Zhai Da guessed that the other party was going to give him something from the woolen mill again, and he had something else to talk to him about. They didn't add each other on QQ last time, and it just happened that they met on the street.
"Let's go, one way."
Lu Wei hesitated for a moment and took off her canvas shoes.
He took a few steps and jumped, speeding up to catch up with Zhai Da. His back looked inexplicably excited.
Inside the convenience store, the TV program switched to the perspective of the rural children. The owner shook his head and said, "This production team is really cruel. What will they do when they go back? They saw a glimmer of hope, but in the end, it was all fake..."
Zhai Da chatted intermittently:
"Now that you're here, is my mom off work too?"
"Teacher Yu left later than me, but he should have finished get off work too..."
"The apprentice passed away earlier than the master. You don't seem to want to make progress~"
"progress?"
"I learned a craft from my mother, so I shouldn't show some appreciation for it, right?"
Lu Wei seemed to be thinking about something... and nodded slightly.
"Teacher Yu, that's great...but I don't have anything to give you..."
Zhai Da suddenly remembered the display board at the school gate and the identity of senior Lu Wei. After thinking it over, he decided not to ask.
No matter what the story is, it is not a good story. It is not rational to casually expose other people's scars.
From an adult's perspective, when you accidentally learn someone's secret...it's best if this thing itself becomes a secret.
Instead of going up to the other person and asking.
Just like when he was at work before he won the lottery, he accidentally discovered that the project manager and his boss were having an affair, and he has been keeping this secret ever since.
It was not until he was fired as a scapegoat that he quietly informed the wives of both men.
Damao Community is not far from the small supermarket where the two met. It only takes a few steps to get there, and mainly because Zhai Da's home is also close.
This community is even more dilapidated than my own Sanmao. Looking inside from the side door, there is not even a street light. It is pitch dark.
Facing this dark alley with no end in sight, Lu Wei showed no fear or hesitation. She turned around and said to Zhai Da, "Then I'll leave."
Zhai Da raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid of the dark?"
Lu Wei nodded without hesitation.
According to a normal girl's logic, shouldn't she pitifully ask me to walk with her for a while?
Forget it... I'm not trying to seduce her, so why act like a naive little sun?
Once you have enough experience in blind dates, you will find that investing your emotions is the most costly thing.
Rather than money.
Just as I was about to leave, a sinister voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Xiao Da, aren't you going to see them off?"
Zhai Da was so scared that he almost jumped up. He turned around and saw that it was Ms. Yu who appeared out of nowhere.
"Wow...Wow, when did you show up, Mom?!"
Yu Xiaoli said with a serious expression, "Two intersections ahead."
What kind of evil taste is this, silently staring at your son and your colleague walking on the street?
"Xiao Da, boys should be more graceful. It's too dark in there. Please send Xiao Lu in. It's not safe for a girl to be alone."
Zhai Da thought to himself that if a boy is this dark, he wouldn't be safe either, okay?
Lu Wei quickly greeted, "Hello, Teacher Yu."
Yu Xiaoli smiled, then her expression changed in an instant. She emphasized her request to Zhai Da with a tone of disdain: "Hurry up."
That look means: How did I teach you?
Zhai Daxin said you taught me not to fall in love too early...
Forget it, forget it. Mom has already issued an imperial decree, so just go.
Lu Wei stood there at a loss as Zhai Da had already pulled her sleeve and walked inside.
Looking at the backs of the two people, although Yu Xiaoli was a little worried, she still smiled more.
As the saying goes, times have changed. Before, studies were the priority, and I had to strictly prevent Zhai Da from falling in love too early.
But now I'm not out of school...
Lu Wei has been in the factory these days and I like her more and more. Even if I don't push Zhai Da forward, I can at least create some opportunities for her.
———
At the same time, a few hundred meters away, there was an empty bus stop.
Lin Shuyao stopped in front of the platform, the light reflected soft shadows on her moist hair.
There is only one bus on route 28 every 20 minutes, and the wait is the same every night.
But tonight is destined to be different.
Some things are better to be made clear.
Lin Shuyao gently lifted the hair beside her ear, revealing her crystal pink earlobe:
"Student Zhai, on your way home, you should have turned left at the last intersection, right?"
There was no response from behind.
Come to think of it, I was walking with the girl I liked all the way, and suddenly someone called me out, so it was normal to be nervous.
For some reason, Lin Shuyao himself was a little nervous.
She let out a lovely breath, and according to her established goal, she said the words she had been thinking about all the way:
"Mr. Zhai...actually, I don't hate you. I think you're...very special. I was just shocked when I saw the love letter that day..."
"Girls can't just accept other people's affection so easily..."
"I didn't mean to reject you in public, and I never posted this on QQ or Renren. I'm not that kind of girl..."
The evening breeze blew away the heat from the girl's cheeks. Even for her, it felt a little burning when she said this.
Even a few scenes from idol dramas flashed through my mind...
"Student Zhai, I'm actually... quite optimistic about you. If you work harder and we get admitted to the same university, I'll be your girlfriend. Is that okay?"
Lin Shuyao used her ultimate move, and she believed that this would definitely make Zhai Da like her again.
Then you can do whatever you want!
Zhai Da behind him must be extremely excited, right?
Lin Shuyao put her hands behind her back and turned around in what she thought was the most elegant posture, with a mixture of shyness and affectation, perhaps because she was moved by herself, there was actually a hint of sincerity in her expression.
Then you see it.
Wu Yue: ...
Lin Shuyao: ...
Silence is the eternal theme of the bus station, and today's is particularly suffocating.
Wu Yue widened his eyes and ran away!
Holy crap! Oh my god! It’s not Zhai Da who likes Lin Shuyao! It’s Lin Shuyao who likes Zhai Da!
Discovered a huge secret!!
Lin Shuyao waited until Wu Yue ran several dozen meters before he shouted weakly, "Don't run! Listen to my explanation!"
Wu Yue ran faster.
The girl's red warmth surpasses everything...
————
Zhai Da and Lu Wei walked into the dark alley and couldn't help but take out their cell phones, wanting to turn on the flashlight to use as a flashlight.
When I finally took it out, I realized that my knock-off phone didn't have this function...
Street lights are like this. You can pass by them thousands of times without noticing their existence or their location.
But if it disappears once, you will panic.
The small county town in 2008 was not a peaceful place...
A sudden shout came from the window next to him, making him shiver.
In the darkness, Lu Wei suddenly said, "Are you afraid of the dark?"
Zhai Da denied it immediately: "I'm not afraid."
"Then why are you holding my hand?"
"It's purely lustful. I just like touching hands."
As he spoke, he rubbed his fingers together.
I felt a rough mark, which looked like a band-aid.
Lu Wei was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Mr. Zhai is quite... humorous."
But the hand did not withdraw.
