Chapter 17 Heartbeat
"What's your phone number?"
On the way to send Tian Xin to the station, Lin Zhou pretended to be casual and asked nonchalantly.
"Phone?" Tian Xin was still looking at the painting and didn't react for a moment.
"Yes, mobile phone number. Didn't you buy a mobile phone?" Lin Zhou raised his phone.
"Oh! Right! I forgot!"
"Can I... call you?" Lin Zhou asked cautiously.
"Of course! Why not?"
"Then... save it?" Lin Zhou handed his cell phone to Tian Xin.
Tian Xin hesitated for a second, put the painting away in her bag, took Lin Zhou's phone, and entered her own number.
Lin Zhou entered the word "female hero" in the name note column.
"What do you mean?" Tian Xin was puzzled.
"Back in school, you once helped a girl beat up a pervert. Do you remember? The way you beat that guy was absolutely amazing! I couldn't stop you! From that moment on, in my mind, you've been a female knight, like the kind from Jin Yong's novels."
Lin Zhou looked serious and gestured as he spoke.
"I think you deserve a beating!"
Tian Xin also looked serious and slowly rolled up her sleeves.
"Hey, don't... don't hit me, I was just saying it casually. It's easy for girls to hit others and find no one to fight with..."
The two of them laughed and joked as they ran all the way to the station!
"Let me know when you get home!"
"Okay, go back! Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!" Lin Zhou waved reluctantly!
The car drove away, but he still stood there, staring at the direction where the car disappeared, and he didn't leave for a long time...
The county town was thirty miles away from home, and Lin Zhou's heart followed the car for an hour.
As soon as Tian Xin got home, she received a text message from him: [Are you home? I'm Lin Zhou, this is my number.]
【Just arrived, how about you? 】
I'm looking at photos.
…
See photos?
How do I answer this?
Tian Xin didn’t know how to reply!
She has been in a daze all day today and doesn't know what's wrong?
I always feel like something is weird!
She had dinner with Lin Zhou, went to the park, and painted dolls. She seemed very happy and completely forgot everything else the whole day!
"What's wrong with me?" she asked herself.
It seems... nothing?
But... I always feel like something is wrong?
She put her phone down and didn't reply to the text message.
【What are you doing? 】
Seeing that she didn't reply for a long time, Lin Zhou sent another message!
…
What am I doing?
I'm thinking about life!
How come I got sick while shopping?
She looked at her phone and hesitated for a long time: Forget it, I'd better not reply! This young boy is so stupid!
“Ding ding ding ding ding…”
As soon as she put down her phone, it rang, which scared her so much that the phone spun in her hand.
This time it was a phone call, and the words "Lin Zhou" on the screen made her heart suddenly beat fast.
What the hell?!
It’s abnormal, so abnormal!
Are you crazy? Why is your heart beating so fast?
Isn't today a good day?
She suddenly became very upset and slammed the phone on the table, not daring to answer it!
The bell kept ringing "beep beep" like a ghost.
"Xinxin, the phone is ringing!" Mom shouted in the yard.
"I know, Mom, I heard it, it's okay!"
"Forget it, what's the big deal about picking it up? You're just a kid, don't be nervous! Don't be nervous!"
As she hinted to herself, she picked up the phone and was about to answer it when it was disconnected. The screen showed: You have a missed call.
Oh...crazy! She cursed in her heart!
Forget it! Go out and get some fresh air! This room might have low air pressure!
Well, yes, that must be it!
She put down her phone and walked out the door. As soon as she walked out, her phone rang again.
Hey, are you annoying?
She ran over to take it again.
"Hello"
"Hey, Boss, are you home?"
It was Zhang Shuai's voice.
"Oh, I'm home, what's wrong?"
It’s strange, why do I feel a little lost when I hear this voice?
She frowned secretly, feeling a little distressed!
"Master Li is here. The quilt he brought is too thin. Do you have any extra quilts at home? Lend him one."
"Oh, yes, yes. Wait a minute, I'll be right there!"
"Don't worry, I'll come and get it. It's getting dark, so don't come out by yourself," said Zhang Shuai.
"Oh, okay! I get it!"
After hanging up the phone, she threw the phone on the table and walked around the room.
Why are you so irritable?
What happened?
When my mother came in after washing clothes, I saw her opening the cabinet and then closing it again. She did this several times. I don't know what's wrong with her.
"Xinxin, what's wrong with you?" Mom asked curiously.
"I...I'm looking for a quilt. A craftsman came to the factory and needs a quilt."
"Then tell me and I'll get it! You can't find it if I put it there."
Mom opened the cabinet door and saw the painting she had just put in.
"Oh, you look so pretty, is this you?"
"Um."
"Who drew this? It's really nice."
"A...classmate, I think he's pretty good too."
"Then you should put it away in your room. It will break easily if you keep it here."
The mother handed the painting to Tian Xin and looked at her daughter meaningfully.
"Did you meet your classmates today?"
Mom took out the quilt and asked casually.
"oh."
"Male classmate?"
"No, no! Mom, don't think too much! She picked up the painting in a panic, rolling it up and letting it go.
Crazy! Must be crazy!
She thought!
But his hands kept rolling up and unrolling the painting, rolling it up and unrolling it... back and forth, over and over again!
"What am I thinking about? You're already this old, how can I stop you from having a boyfriend?" Mom looked at her with a smile.
Boy friend?
How...When I heard these three words, my heart felt like it was going to jump out!
Is it because of...Lin Zhou?
No! Impossible! How old is he?
Her mind was full of random thoughts, and her mother was still talking to her.
"My daughter has grown up. Does she have any secrets?" asked her mother.
"No, Mom, it's not." She denied it subconsciously, so quickly that she didn't even realize it.
"oh."
Mom put the quilt on the bed, took her hand and sat down on the chair, then held her hand in her own.
"Mom." She looked at her mother in panic.
"Xinxin, you have always been a very sensible child. You rarely cause your mother any worries since you were little."
"Um."
"Now that you've grown up, gone to college, and become a village official, Mom is very happy. But I always feel that you are not happy."
"No! I'm not unhappy, I'm very happy!"
"I'm your son, and I understand you. You've always been independent and have your own way of doing things. I'm never worried about that.
I'm just worried that you'll keep suppressing yourself and putting so much burden on yourself that you'll break down. Mom wants you to be happy."
What does this mean? Happy... no... quite happy!
Mom is too worried!
"Well, okay. Don't worry, Mom. I will!" She nodded vigorously.
Just as it was getting dark, Zhang Shuai came over on a motorcycle, and Tian Xin heard the sound in the house.
"Boss, are you there?" Zhang Shuai knocked on the door hard.
"exist."
"Boss..."
"Shh, be quiet! Xiaoxu is already asleep, don't shout."
She made a gesture and Zhang Shuai immediately shut up.
"Boss, let me get the quilt." Zhang Shuai said in a low voice.
"Zhang Shuai is here, come in and sit for a while." Tian Xin's mother greeted Zhang Shuai.
"No, Auntie, it's getting late. I have to go back to the factory!"
Tian Xin handed the blanket to Zhang Shuai and escorted him out. The motorcycle sped away at the speed of an airplane.
She sighed, turned around and went home and locked the door.
"This kid rides too fast. It's so worrying!" said the mother from behind.
"Yeah, I've told you several times, but you won't change!"
"How did you find him? This kid used to be very popular in the village."
"It was the past, but it's fine now."
"That's good. The kid is pitiful. His mother has been away for many years and has not come back, and his father loves to play cards..." Mom rambled on and on.
Forget it, let’s go back to our room and sleep!
She picked up her phone and turned to walk into the room.
“Ding ding…”
Another text message.
???
Lin Zhou.
As soon as I saw the name, my heart started pounding again.
It's really a ghost!
She hurried back to her room, closed the door and drew the curtains.
After quickly washing up, she lay down on the bed before opening the text message.
There were only three words on the screen.
