Chapter 119 The Price of Growth, Eating Snacks
When Zhang Wanwan was going downstairs, he suddenly saw an unexpected figure appear in the corridor - Yan Zeyu. For some reason, he suddenly couldn't move.
Leng Ziyue walked in front of her and turned around as if he realized something.
Zhang Wanwan pointed towards the corridor and asked him to wait a moment.
Seeing Zhang Wanwan walking towards the classroom again, Leng Ziyue didn't say anything and followed her up.
The cold wind blew in the empty corridor, and there were raindrops in the wind, which made people shiver when it fell on their faces. Zhang Wanwan tightened her down jacket and walked to Yan Zeyu's side. Seeing that he was wearing a thin coat, she frowned slightly and asked, "Why don't you go back?"
Yan Zeyu silently retracted his gaze from the glass window, slowly looked at Zhang Wanwan, and forced a bitter smile, "I thought that as long as I was ruthless and broke up in front of her, she would stop harassing me. I didn't expect that crazy woman would be so ruthless! Now she really got what she wanted, I will never forget her in my life!"
Zhang Wanwan silently looked at the somewhat haggard Yan Zeyu, with a flash of pity in her eyes. After a long while, she hesitated and asked, "There are many rumors in school, but I don't believe them. You must know her situation!"
Yan Zeyu let out a long sigh, put his hands on the balcony in the corridor, lowered his head and said faintly: "I don't know! I really don't know. Ever since I called her father, the relationship between our two families has become a little awkward. My parents said that they haven't been in touch since the call."
"But you feel guilty, right?" Zhang Wanwan murmured, staring at the depressed boy in front of her and sighed again in her heart. Although they had not had much interaction anymore, for the sake of their friendship, Zhang Wanwan still didn't want to see him become like this.
"It's more of fear than guilt. Never mind, let's not say any more. He's waiting for you, you go first." Yan Zeyu glanced at Leng Ziyue who was not far behind. This time he didn't feel unwilling or jealous like before, but let go with relief.
Zhang Wanwan glanced back and said, "Then you should go back quickly too. Remember, don't do anything stupid!"
After saying that, Zhang Wanwan turned around and left quickly. She felt like she had goose bumps all over her body when she stayed here.
Yan Zeyu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled. There was relief in his smile, as well as a vicissitude that did not belong to his age. Perhaps because he had experienced so much, he felt more like an old man returning home in his twilight years rather than a vigorous student!
Today is the last day of exams, and it was raining and the roads were difficult to walk on, so Zhang Wanwan did not ride her bike but took a ride with Leng Ziyue. Everyone wore raincoats on rainy days anyway, and as long as she lowered her head, no one would know that it was her sitting behind Leng Ziyue, so she didn't have to worry about rumors at all.
"Where are you going? Are you going home?" After leaving the school gate, Leng Ziyue casually asked Zhang Wanwan behind him.
Zhang Wanwan didn't really have that many thoughts. She looked at the gloomy sky and the busy streets. She tightened her hands on Leng Ziyue's waist and replied quietly, "Let's go home. I'll cook noodles."
"good!"
The bicycles passed through a busy area with heavy traffic and soon entered an old alley, which was not the road they usually took.
It was Zhang Wanwan's first time to come to such a place. Feeling the strong atmosphere of the old street life, she felt much more cheerful. She asked curiously, "Why is there such a place behind the school? Does it sell snacks?"
"Yeah." Leng Ziyue's voice was a little light as he explained, "This is an old district that has not been developed yet. It's full of old houses from the 1970s and 1980s. Just look at those wooden exterior walls and you'll know. Don't be fooled by how shabby this place is. There are several snack shops that serve good food. I'll take you to a good meal today so you don't have to cook when you go back."
"This is great!" Zhang Wanwan swung her legs happily, causing the bicycle to become a little unstable.
The two stopped at the door of an old shop. Leng Ziyue led Zhang Wanwan in and said, "Boss, one rice dumpling, one basket of soup dumplings, and two small bowls of beef noodles."
Zhang Wanwan had just sat down when Leng Ziyue ran out again. A moment later, he came back with a bag of fried snacks, including fried spring rolls, fried vegetable meatballs, fried dumplings, and carrots.
"Can we finish so much?" Looking at the table full of food, Zhang Wanwan was stunned.
Leng Ziyue didn't think much of it, "If we can't finish it, we can take it back, or you can go to your parents' place later and give them some of it and that's it."
Well, Zhang Wanwan didn't say anything more and enjoyed a down-to-earth dinner with Leng Ziyue.
The sky remained gloomy for the next few days, with either continuous drizzling rain or gusts of cold wind, and there was never a sunny day.
On the day of collecting report cards, the lights in the school classrooms were turned on early in the morning, and it looked like it was afternoon. Zhang Wanwan and Leng Ziyue entered the classroom one after another and heard their classmates talking about the classroom next door.
It turned out that the classroom next door had been opened. During the days they were on vacation, the school sent people in to clean it. Not only were the walls repainted, but the floor was also refinished. All the desks and chairs inside were new, and there was a strong smell of formaldehyde.
They can smell it just by walking out of a classroom.
Perhaps because the newly refurbished classroom looked bright and clean, and had completely changed from the eerie feeling it once had, the girls in Class 1 actually had the guts to walk directly through the corridor of Class 2 to go to the bathroom.
Zhang Wanwan heard that the students in Class 2 would come back to attend classes after school starts. She heard this from Luo Jingyun, while Luo Jingyun got the first-hand information from Tian Sen.
At this time, Zhang Wanwan already understood what Tian Sen meant when he asked her to get someone. Looking at Luo Jingyun who was smiling like a flower in front of her, she was worried for Tian Sen again. This girl was not smart at all and didn't think about it in that direction. She didn't know how long Tian Sen would take to win her heart.
After receiving the report card, the winter vacation officially began.
Zhang Baiyan also came back from Beijing.
The family seemed to be lively again, but Zhang Baiyan, who had spent a semester in college, seemed to no longer be the young man he used to be. He began to plan his life. After he came back, he asked his father to buy him a laptop, and he was seen tinkering with the computer every day.
Zhang Wanwan didn't interfere too much. As long as Zhang Boyan didn't do anything bad and wasn't addicted to games, she didn't care about anything else.
It was also at this time that Zhang's mother brought up the issue of buying a house again, and asked Zhang Wanwan and Zhang Baiyan to follow Luo Jijun to look at houses.
The brother and sister had no objection and just did whatever Zhang's mother said. However, Zhang's father seemed to be worried and didn't care much about such a big matter.
