Chapter 25: The Boy's Blushing Ears [VIP]
The black and white headphone cables are tangled, just like the tangled trajectory of our lives.
——"Chronological Diary"
On Sunday afternoon, Zhen Wenrou, carrying Zhen Hao's secret, got on her motorcycle first, leaving only a chic back view to the Zhen family.
She didn't tell anyone where she was going, only Zhen Hao knew.
Grandma Zhen’s voice could not catch up with the speeding motorcycle. Zhen Wenrou only heard the words “you dead girl”, and the rest of the words disappeared with the wind.
Not long after Zhen Wenrou left home, it was almost time for Zhen Hao to leave for school. As usual, she said to her grandmother, "A-ma (meaning "grandmother" in Minnan dialect), I'm going to school."
Grandma Zhen nodded with a smile: "Study hard and don't go around like your aunt."
"Okay." Zhen Hao responded obediently.
After telling her grandmother, she went to each room to look for He Yunlian, but couldn't find her.
I guess he took Zhen Li to visit his neighbors.
Thinking of this, she gave up the idea of continuing the search and ran into Zhen Dongcheng when she returned to her room.
"Dad—" She stammered twice, but finally opened her mouth to call out, "I have to go to school, I..."
The words asking for living expenses were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
Seeing that she hadn't said anything further, Zhen Dongcheng handed the banknotes to her first: "Okay, this is for you. You're still growing, so don't be reluctant to eat it."
Zhen Hao lowered his eyes and stared at the fifty-yuan note his father handed him, his heart aching.
This is more than her living expenses for half a month.
Strictly speaking, Zhen Dongcheng has always been gentle and patient with the two sisters, giving them everything he should and could give.
He may not be a good husband, but he is a good father.
She took the banknotes with mixed feelings, and said "Thank you, Dad" softly and slowly. If it weren't for the silence around her, Zhen Dongcheng probably wouldn't have been able to hear it clearly.
"Go. Be careful on the road." This time, Zhen Dongcheng did not retract his raised hand and gently stroked Zhen Hao's furry head.
"Yeah." Zhen Hao nodded obediently, "I understand, Dad."
As she rode her bicycle down the long and high slope from the yard, she met an unexpected person at the bottom of the slope.
"Time sequence?" Zhen Hao stepped on the brakes, looking puzzled. "Why are you here?"
The Shi family's house is close to a busy street. Zhen Hao passes by it every time he goes to school. He actually walks back the way he came here.
"Can I go to school with you today?" Shi Xu looked listless.
His bicycle was transported back on Friday night in the trunk of Pei Yandong's car.
This weekend, he stayed in the study for both days. He told Shi An that he was going to review for the final exam, but in fact he did nothing but kept flipping through his diary.
It’s a bit embarrassing to say that he, a grown boy, has the habit of writing a diary, just like a little girl.
The new semester when he was about to enter junior high school was the first time he met Pei Yandong, and it was also the first time he started to write a diary seriously.
As he wrote, he fell in love with this silent expression and venting, and has kept this habit ever since.
Every time Pei Yandong appeared, he would be depressed for a while.
When he woke up early this morning, he suddenly wanted to stay with Zhen Hao and recharge himself with her.
So he waited quietly downstairs at her house.
When he saw her dashing and heroic figure swooping down on her bicycle, his brows relaxed unconsciously, and a feeling of security gradually filled his entire chest.
"Sure." Zhen Hao's face still had the cold expression that Shi Xu was familiar with, but he just felt that it was pleasing to the eye. No matter how he looked at it, the more he liked it.
He smiled with his eyes curved: "Good, really good."
After saying that, he was the first to get on his bike, facing the wind, and for the first time he felt free.
You are free to choose how to get to your destination and who will accompany you along the way.
Time slowed down and gradually walked side by side with Zhen Hao.
However, neither of them spoke, they just quietly felt the gentle breeze on their faces.
Under the big banyan tree, Zhou Chunrui was already waiting there.
Her house is the closest, about a three-minute drive away, so she is often either the first or the last to arrive.
This time she was not late.
She was still a little dazed when she saw Zhen Hao and a boy riding bicycles side by side from afar.
After she realized it was the time sequence, she was no longer surprised.
From childhood to adulthood, basically, when I saw Zhen Hao, I could tell the time sequence. This iron rule was not broken until they entered junior high school.
This scene made Zhou Chunrui smell the scent of his childhood sweetheart for the first time in a long time.
If not...
Zhou Chunrui secretly glanced at the time sequence and felt a pity in his heart.
If Shixu wasn't so short, she would have really been optimistic about him and Zhen Hao. After all, he had a face that was really good at fighting.
He has a high nose and deep eyes, with a hint of ruffian air, as if he can melt everything.
Most importantly,.
Without waiting for Zhou Chunrui to think too much,.
"Mr. Shixu, you're a rare visitor." Zhou Chunrui teased him with a smile, "Are you missing our family so much?"
“Rui Rui, don’t be blind,” he said, gently pushing her arm.
"So what if it is?" Shi Xu asked back, stiffening his neck. "So what if it isn't?"
No one noticed that the tips of his ears had quietly turned red.
"You stinky Shixu, what will happen if you speak nicely?" Zhou Chunrui spoke with the unique coquettishness of the Fujian accent, which sounded very nice.
Shi Xu ignored her.
"Let's go." Zhen Hao didn't intend to continue this topic.
Just as she was about to pedal, a hand gently pressed down on her shoulder.
She turned her head and saw the boy's slender and handsome hand on her shoulder. The warmth from his hand was transmitted through the thin material of the school uniform, making that part of her skin feel a little hot.
Shi Xu placed one foot firmly on the ground, the bicycle tilted slightly, and the hand on the girl's shoulder slowly rose to her ear.
The distance between the two of them, which was not far to begin with, was instantly shortened. Zhen Hao could even smell the scent of laundry detergent on his clothes.
He and she use the same laundry detergent.
It's refreshing with a hint of sweet fruity scent, very pleasant.
"What are you doing?" Zhen Hao quickly spoke after realizing that they were too close.
Shi Xu's movements paused slightly, and he realized that he was too close to her, so he stepped back slightly with his ears red.
"It's not safe to ride a bike while listening to music with headphones on." As he stepped back, he reached out and took off the headphones from Zhen Hao's ears.
The boy's fingers accidentally brushed against Zhen Hao's fair and delicate ears, which made her feel itchy and a strange feeling spread in her heart.
"Oh." She pulled the white headphone cable from his hand with some discomfort, put it in her backpack with a slightly stiff movement, and then got on the bicycle first and left quickly.
She doesn't like physical contact with others, especially boys.
"Okay, wait for me." Zhou Chunrui just looked up and down and found that Zhen Hao was getting farther and farther away from him.
Shi Xu was stunned on the bicycle seat, the delicate touch of the girl's ear on his hand still lingering in his mind, making him unable to come back to his senses for a moment.
Only after the two girls had ridden a long way did he finally catch up.
Strangely, even without the company of music on the way to school this time, Zhen Hao didn't feel bored at all.
Maybe it was because Shixu had been riding slowly behind her, occasionally shouting, "Okay, let's go to school together every week from now on, okay?"
She didn't answer.
Zhou Chunrui answered for her: "Okay, okay, I promise you on your behalf."
Zhen Hao turned his head and glared at her.
Zhou Chunrui stuck out his tongue in an innocent manner.
Or maybe it was because of the timing that apart from occasionally asking questions, he would spend most of his time singing songs in a self-absorbed manner.
The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Zhen Hao to hear.
He sings very beautifully, and every word is pronounced accurately and in tune.
When the three of them arrived at school, Zhen Hao hadn't expected his aunt to be waiting at the school gate. She sat sideways on the scooter, wearing a tight leather jacket, Martin boots, and a neat, ear-length haircut. She looked both beautiful and cool, attracting many people's attention.
But she was not affected at all, and she just lowered her head and played with her mobile phone seriously.
Zhen Hao pushed his bicycle in front of her and said softly, "Aunt, didn't you say you would wait for me at the milk tea shop?"
Zhen Wenrou looked up and saw that it was Zhen Hao. She immediately smiled and said, "Oh, that milk tea is too sweet and not tasty. I'll take you to drink the authentic one tomorrow."
After she finished speaking, she noticed that Zhou Chunrui and Shi Xu were also there, so she continued, "Xiao Chun and Xiao Xu are here too."
"Thank you, my gentle aunt." Shi Xu was a little surprised to see Zhen Hao's aunt here.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Aunt Wenrou." Zhou Chunrui also responded repeatedly. She liked Zhen Hao's aunt, and her eyes lit up when she saw her. "Aunt Wenrou, can I bring another friend? Just one..."
As she spoke, she raised her right index finger.
Zhen Wenrou was amused by her: "Of course, you can bring as many as you want."
"I'll just bring one, hehe." Zhou Chunrui scratched his head in embarrassment. "Aunt Wenrou also knows her, it's Yunyun."
"No problem, we'll all go together." Zhen Wenrou stood up from the scooter and habitually raised her hand to touch Zhen Hao's head. "Okay, I'll stay at the Strait Hotel near your school tonight. Come here directly after school tomorrow at noon. I'll wait for you at the school gate."
As she spoke, she took down the two large bags hanging on the motorcycle and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the dormitory."
The bag contained new clothes, new shoes and some snacks that she bought for Zhen Hao.
Zhen Wenrou first followed the three people to the parking shed, and then went to the girls' dormitory with Zhen Hao.
Zhen Hao's roommates were all very excited to see Zhen Wenrou, and they became even more excited when they learned that such a young and beautiful woman was actually her aunt. They asked her questions one after another.
Li Lin exclaimed "Wow!" "Good, your aunt is so beautiful!"
Huang Lili is usually very quiet and a bit introverted, but even she couldn't help but say, "Good girl, you are so beautiful."
Shi Shi was very familiar with everyone. She walked up to Zhen Wenrou and took her arm. "My beautiful girl, you look so cool in this outfit. I like it so much."
"Thank you, you are very beautiful too. You will be more beautiful than me when you grow up." Zhen Wenrou smiled gently and took out various snacks from the bag. "Let's eat these together. Don't be shy."
"Thank you, beautiful girl." Several girls said in unison.
Yao Mingna and Zhen Hao were from the same place, so naturally she knew Zhen Wenrou. Like Shi Xu and the others, she called her, "Aunt Wenrou, why are you here at our school?"
"Today it's the female star and her assistant." Zhen Wenrou smiled at Zhen Hao, "I'm the assistant, and Haohao is the star."
Zhen Hao pulled the corners of his mouth a little shyly, and his calm mood gradually improved under Zhen's gentle words.
It has to be said that Zhen Wenrou greatly satisfied her vanity.
There are eight people in the whole dormitory, including her and Zhou Chunrui, Yan Yunshu and Gong Qian.
Gong Qian was not like the others and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
As for Yan Yunshu...
Zhen Hao looked around the dormitory but didn't see her.
