Chapter 37 Not a World [VIP]
I want to grow up quickly and become an adult who can stand firmly by your side.
——"Chronological Diary"
"Aunt Wenrou!" The moment Zhen Hao saw Zhen Wenrou, his originally gloomy eyes instantly lit up.
At that time, Zhen Wenrou had successfully divorced, but she rarely went home.
After the divorce, she looked radiant and even more beautiful and bright than before.
"Look what gift Aunt Wenrou brought you?" Zhen Wenrou shook the small box in her hand.
"Sister, my aunt has been waiting here specially, saying she wants you to see a surprise as soon as you enter the house." Zhen Mei was also very curious about what was in the box in Zhen Wenrou's hand. "I want to see it too!"
Zhen Hao's face flushed red because of excitement and even more because of happiness.
She had a guess in her mind that the box contained the item she had always dreamed of.
Zhen Wenrou solemnly handed the box to her, his eyes full of tenderness: "Good comrade, happy New Year's Day."
"Thank you, my gentle sister!" Zhen Hao was full of anticipation. Under the gaze of two pairs of eyes, he opened the gift box with great care.
As the compact body appeared before their eyes, the Zhen Hao sisters widened their eyes at the same time.
"It's a cell phone!" Zhen Hao couldn't contain his inner joy and shouted.
She stroked the logo she had seen countless times, unable to believe she could actually own it. But she quickly calmed down: "Gentlewoman, are you really buying this for me? It must be very expensive. I can't..."
Zhen Wenrou interrupted her before she finished speaking: "Okay, it's not a matter of can or can't. Don't you understand my aunt? My aunt likes to pamper us girls. Not only will Haohao have it, but when Ah Mei grows up, she will have it too. Whatever other girls have, our Zhen family's girls must have too."
"Thank you, Aunt Wenrou." The grievances and sadness of the past few days seemed to have found an outlet at this moment. Zhen Hao could no longer bear it and threw himself into Zhen Wenrou's arms, tears streaming down his face.
The younger sister-in-law was like a ray of light, illuminating her dark path ahead and helping her find her direction.
She wanted to learn from her sister-in-law, learn to love, learn to be free and easy, and learn to be brave.
But she quickly thought of other issues: "But my parents..."
They wouldn't pay her phone bill, and she couldn't afford it herself...
"Shh..." Zhen Wenrou raised a finger across her lips, "They are not home now. I haven't told them yet."
She knew her elder brother and sister-in-law's personalities, and they would definitely not agree to Zhen Hao using a mobile phone.
But she also had her youth, and she knew what girls of this age wanted and envied, things she had not been able to possess before, so she wanted Xiao Zhen to have no regrets.
"Let's make a pinky promise—" Zhen Wenrou held up her pinky finger, "Let this cell phone thing be a little secret between us, okay?"
"Okay." Zhen Mei liked her elder sister and younger aunt the most. She listened to everything they said. She raised her pinky finger and said, "Make a pinky promise. Don't change for a hundred years!"
After the three girls, one big and two small, finished making the hook, they looked at each other with their eyes curved in smiles, just like the crescent moon gradually taking shape on the horizon.
The mobile phone was the Nokia 5200, a red and white slider smartphone that was very popular at the time.
Most of the students in the class have smartphones, but Zhen Hao is the only one who has been keeping the MP3 player that he bought with his savings when he first entered junior high school.
That night, Zhen Hao's diary had an entry added: On December 31, 2006, I received a Nokia 5200 mobile phone bought by my aunt Wenrou. When I grow up, I will buy her a more expensive and better mobile phone.
After solemnly writing this paragraph, Zhen Hao turned to the last page of the diary and carefully entered the mobile phone numbers of Zhou Chunrui and Yan Yunshu that he had written down into his mobile phone and saved them.
Although she didn't have a mobile phone of her own, she often needed to borrow Zhou Chunrui's smartphone to publish novels on the forum, so she was already familiar with the operation.
She wanted to send a text message to each of them to tell them her mobile phone number, but when she thought about the fact that her SIM card and monthly rent were all paid by her aunt, she couldn't bear to do it.
A text message costing ten cents was a very extravagant expense in her opinion.
But it’s different online.
So after dinner, the two sisters hid in the house early to study their new toys.
Zhen Hao downloaded the mobile gambling software. From downloading to installing and logging in, her fingers were slightly wet. The nervousness and anticipation made her palms sweat, as if she was treating an extremely solemn matter.
"Sister, I want a number, too." Zhen Mei blinked her big eyes, her face full of desire.
Zhen Hao agreed without hesitation: "I'll apply for one for you when I take the computer class."
"Okay, thank you, sister." Zhen Mei squinted her eyes and smiled with satisfaction.
Zhou Chunrui applied for a □□ account for Zhen Hao, but he rarely had the chance to log in.
She still felt a little dreamy when she logged into □□ and sent messages to Zhou Chunrui and Yan Yunshu.
?
This is all so unreal.
Zhou Chunrui is five points
Hello, good evening."
Her eyes widened in surprise, and she immediately replied, "Okay? Are you real? Maybe your account has been stolen..."
But she soon received a reply -
Dong——"
Zhou Chunrui's eyes lit up when he saw it. This was the secret code between the three of them. It must be Zhen Hao himself!
The two chatted one message after another in the group, but Yan Yunshu never came online.
Chun Rui said: "Yunyun must be doing questions again."
What's good? "I think so too."
Chun Rui Bu Chun: "Tomorrow is the first day of 2007, and the first semester of the first grade is almost over."
What's good?: "I really want to celebrate the holidays with you guys."
Chun Rui Bu Chun: "By the way, you have a new phone, so have you contacted the time sequence?"
When Zhen Hao suddenly saw the name of Shixu, his typing hand paused slightly, and then he looked up at the small window in the bedroom.
There was no more sound of being hit by small stones.
Sometimes she would have auditory hallucinations, thinking she heard secret codes between herself and the boy, but when she ran out full of anticipation, the place was always empty.
There was no young man waiting for her there anymore.
After Zhen Hao replied "no", he suddenly felt bored. His good mood disappeared bit by bit, and he lost the desire to chat.
In fact, the first time she used her phone, she really thought about sending a text message to Shi Xu. But when she thought about how he not only left without saying goodbye, but also didn't leave a single word even though he had contact information, she felt a pang of anger in her heart.
If he doesn't look for him, why should she go looking for him?
Maybe he is now used to being a rich family's young master and no longer bothers to make friends with ordinary people like them?
Zhen Hao thought so maliciously, and at the same time decided not to contact Shi Xu actively.
Just when she was lost in thought, her cell phone vibrated slightly.
Chun Rui Bu Chun: "Okay, actually I have always wanted to ask you a question."
What's good? "You ask."
Chun Rui Buchun: "Then I really asked?"
Chun Rui Bu Chun: "If I ask you next week, you can't hit me."
What's good?: "Don't fight, just ask."
Chun Rui Buchun: "Do you like Shixu too much?"
When Zhen Hao saw this question, his heart skipped a beat and his cheeks felt a little hot.
She answered the question irrelevantly: "Why do you ask? Everyone clearly says that I like Shi Hangyu."
Even she herself thinks so.
When chatting about these girlish thoughts online, she was not as reserved as she was face to face, and said whatever she thought.
Chun Rui Bu Chun: "Because I am more optimistic about you and Shi Xu."
Faced with Zhou Chunrui's answer, Zhen Hao was a little dazed and did not reply for a long time.
Zhou Chunrui quickly followed up, "So do you like time series?"
Do you like the timing issue?
Zhen Hao suddenly remembered that in the first semester of junior high school, after a monthly exam, the head teacher and grade leader, Mr. Chen, asked several students to help mark the test papers. The four people finally decided were the three girls and a time sequencer.
There are more than a thousand students in the school, and the grade groups need to complete the marking efficiently, so they often need to ask students for assistance.
When grading the time series test paper, he saw that he had not answered a fill-in-the-blank question correctly, resulting in a math score below 140 points. The good student Zhen Hao suddenly had a bad idea - to help him correct the answer and add points.
Just as she was about to change her incorrect answer of 11 to 14 while the teacher went out to drink water, the boy suddenly appeared behind her and said in a deep voice, "Okay, do you like me?"
"Why...why do you ask?" Feeling the hot breath of the young man on his neck, Zhen Hao suddenly stiffened, the tip of the pen hanging in the air, and he didn't make the next move.
"A good student helps me correct answers and scores. If that's not love for me, what is it?" Shixu's eyes were full of playfulness.
Because Zhen Hao had his back to him, he didn't see the tips of his ears gradually turning red.
As if to prove something, Zhen Hao suddenly turned around to face the boy, and the distance between them became closer.
In the cramped teacher's office, with their hearts pounding, Shi Xu, blushing, cornered the girl. As if desperate for an answer, he asked again, "Okay, you really don't like me, do you?"
Zhen Hao's mind went blank after being asked this question, and she didn't dare to look him in the eye.
She wanted to push him away and keep some distance from him, but in her panic, the result turned out to be something she could not have expected.
Instead of pushing the boy away, she moved closer to him and kissed him gently on the cheek.
Shi Xu didn't expect her to do this. His mouth opened slightly and he froze in place.
Before he could even get excited, he heard the girl's slightly cold voice: "Shixu, I'm sure I don't like you."
Before he could say anything, she added cruelly, "Because my heartbeat will tell me whether I like someone or not. My heart doesn't beat faster because of you, so I don't like you."
After Zhen Hao told the biggest lie of his youth, he saw the light in the boy's eyes dim little by little.
But she didn't regret it at all at that time.
Because she didn't want to be trapped in that small valley for the rest of her life, and she didn't want to accept the fate of "marrying early" as her grandmother said, so she kept telling herself that "good friends for a lifetime" was the most suitable relationship between her and time.
And that kiss that was not really a kiss was hidden deep in her heart, and they both tacitly pretended it had never happened.
Looking at Zhou Chunrui's question, Zhen Hao gave a wry smile and replied, "Ruirui, he and I are no longer from the same world."
Zhou Chunrui on the other end of the network frowned slightly: "Okay, how come you speak so maturely at such a young age? What do you mean by people from different worlds, love knows no distinction between rich and poor..."
Zhen Hao tried to change the subject, "Haha, Ruirui is right. I wonder if Yunyun will show up tonight..."
Zhou Chunrui, who had a single-minded mindset, was quickly misled by her: "Oh, right, why isn't Yunyun online yet..."
However, fate always seemed to like playing jokes on people. During the final review week just before the winter break, Zhen Hao got into trouble again.
