Chapter 73: The First Day of School Without Her [VIP]
Summer will end, but my love for you will not.
——Orange Confessions
On the night Shi Xu proposed to her at Banshan Manor, although Zhen Hao refused and decided to break up on the spot, she still took away a cardboard box he had prepared in advance.
However, due to the accidents that happened one after another and her desire to escape, she never opened the book to read it.
After learning that the real buyer of her house was Shixu, she suddenly thought of this matter.
The urgent feeling made her no longer in the mood to stay in the courtyard for long, so she went home early alone.
He Yunlian has been in much better condition these days. She has traveled to several places and is now sticking with Zhen Dongcheng, so Zhen Hao is the only one at home now.
When she really took out the cardboard box from the cabinet, she backed away.
She didn't dare open it.
There was only a dim night light in the room, and a corner of the curtain was lifted by the wind, as if something had gently tickled her flickering heart.
After preparing himself mentally for a while, Zhen Hao took a deep breath, turned on the reading lamp, and gently opened the lid of the box.
What caught her eye was an old, slightly yellowed notebook, some cards of different sizes, and a square rectangular storage box.
She picked up the old book first, her heart beating faster and faster.
This book looks exactly the same as the diary that has been with her for many years.
She didn't open the diary immediately, but searched for it in the locked drawer in disbelief.
When the two identical books were put together, Zhen Hao felt a little dazed.
This notebook was created when I was in fifth grade. Our Chinese teacher asked everyone to write a weekly diary and hand it in. I found it very interesting the first time I wrote one, so I spent some of my lucky money on a thick notebook and wrote down my worries that were inconvenient for the teacher or adults to see.
She didn't write much every day, sometimes just a few words, or at most a few lines, and only very occasionally would she fill a whole page or several pages. So she used that diary until she became an adult, and only three years ago did it fill up and she changed to a new five-year diary.
No matter how much she cherished and protected that book, it was now full of traces of time. Not only was the paper yellowed, but the glue on the spine was also coming off, and the pages would fall off if she wasn't careful.
Zhen Hao, full of questions, slowly opened the book given to him by Shixu.
After seeing the words on the first page, she bit her lip lightly.
The first line reads: The diary of the martial arts world of Shi Daxia.
The handwriting is childish and it is obvious that it was written by a child.
The second line was written in dark brown pen under "Shi Daxia's Diary of Jianghu": Am I very naive at the age of eleven?
The handwriting of this line of words is vigorous and powerful, with a bit of elegance. It is a font that Zhen Hao likes very much.
She reasonably guessed that this was added after the time sequence came of age.
It was as if time suddenly went back, and Zhen Hao's thoughts slowly returned to the past along with the records of time.
The two young boys' friendship, from throwing sandbags to going to the peach garden and then to their quarrelsome relationship, flashed through her mind frame by frame like a kaleidoscope.
Monday, June 30, 2003, a rainy day
It’s summer vacation today. I was very happy, but then I saw my mother with an uncle.
Am I going to have a younger brother?
My mother thinks I know nothing, but in fact I know everything.
It turned out that Pei Yandong had known the time of his appearance for a long time, but he sensibly concealed his emotions because he didn't want to make Aunt Shi An sad and embarrassed.
Zhen Hao finally understood why the usually cheerful and mischievous Shi Shu suddenly became quiet during the summer vacation when cicadas were chirping everywhere.
After more than ten years, she suddenly felt sorry for the boy who could only tell his troubles to his diary.
She continued to look down -
Tuesday, July 1, 2003: Mood turns from cloudy to sunny
It's so strange, my gloomy mood suddenly became bright the moment I saw Haohao.
Haohao must be the little sunshine in my life.
Seeing this, Zhen Hao couldn't help but blush.
She had never thought that Shi Xu's love for her would appear so early, and she had never thought that he would record his sincerity word by word.
Wednesday, July 2, 2003, sunny mood
It's funny to say that just last month, I was still not serious about writing a diary properly, but I didn't expect that a month later, I would do the same thing.
Thursday, July 3, 2003 - Rainbow Mood
Every day that I can see Haohao is a happy donut.
Friday, July 4, 2003, sunny mood
Keeping a diary is not as hard as I thought. I have been writing for five consecutive days. I am indeed the most powerful hero in the world.
Then Shi Da Xia stopped writing a new diary for ten whole days.
Zhen Hao: “…”
She could even imagine the smugness on the young Shi Xu's face from these few lines, as if nothing could stump him.
2003 is a sunny year
Hehehe,
.
As expected of Time, he could always easily make her laugh.
Monday, August 11, 2003, sunny mood
Today is a good birthday,
But the only ones I have at home are crispy and sweet peaches.
Fortunately, I like it very much... I'm happy, hehe.
Tuesday, August 12, 2003, cloudy mood
I seem to have made Haohao very unhappy. I'll pick another basket of crisp peaches tomorrow to apologize.
Monday, August 25, 2003, cloudy mood
Ah, school starts in six days.
Fortunately, there are good people in school, otherwise studying would be even more difficult.
…………
Zhen Hao was shocked that Shishi's diary-writing habit was similar to his own, mostly just a few short lines. The only difference was that she wrote almost every day, while he wrote depending on his mood.
Before entering junior high school, Shixu's diary was full of small things in life. Only for the first time did he mention Pei Yandong who made him unhappy. Overall, he looked like a happy puppy who was happily enjoying his primary school life.
But the content of the diary changed when I reached junior high school.
Thursday, September 1, 2005, sunny mood
Today I officially became a junior high school student and finally grew up.
The happiest thing is that Haohao is in the same class with me!
Friday, September 2, 2005, sunny mood
Junior high school life is so interesting, I like it.
I like it more when it’s right beside me.
…………
Tuesday, September 20, 2005, feeling down
I followed Haohao and Haohao got angry.
But I felt relieved when I knew that she went to Louzi Lane every night just to learn Nanyin from Mr. Qiu.
Wednesday, September 21, 2005: Heavy rain
Haohao doesn't seem to like me.
It’s okay if Haohao doesn’t like me, but she seems to like someone else.
So sad.
Thursday, September 22, 2005, feeling down
When I looked at Haohao, she was looking at someone else.
So sad.
Friday, September 23, 2005, cloudy mood
So sad.
But I can’t stay sad like this forever.
Haohao definitely doesn't like sentimental boys.
Saturday, September 24, 2005, feeling down
Is it because I’m not tall enough or not good enough at playing basketball that Haohao doesn’t like me?
Starting today, I will drink more milk, exercise more, and strive to grow to 1.8 meters as soon as possible!
Monday, September 26, 2005 - Thunderstorm
What should you do if the girl you like likes your best friend?
…………
Looking back on the time when he was attracted to 683, Zhen Hao felt it was unreal.
Shi Hangyu is more like a spiritual sustenance for her, or an escape from reality.
What she didn't know was that she was also the youthful faith of another young boy.
And she cruelly destroyed this belief.
After I suddenly transferred to another school and lost contact with everyone, my diary became scattered and lonely, and every word and sentence revealed entanglement and helplessness.
Zhen Hao saw a young man go from being high-spirited to listless and then to his current calm and measured appearance.
Friday, September 1, 2006, with heavy rain
Happy second day of junior high school! It’s the first time I don’t get to see a proper first day of school.
My phone was lost and my phone was stolen.
Okay, I feel like I'm going to lose you completely.
…………
Saturday, September 1, 2007, with heavy rain
Happy third day of junior high school! It’s the third time I don’t get to see a proper first day of school.
…………
Monday, September 1, 2008, with heavy rain
Happy freshman year of high school! It’s the fifth day I haven’t had a good first day of school.
Okay, we are in high school.
Wednesday, October 1, 2008, feeling down
Well, during these years of separation, I have gradually got in touch with my former classmates.
Only you, I don’t have the courage to disturb you.
…………
Tuesday, September 1, 2009, sunny mood
Happy second year of high school! It’s the seventh day that I haven’t had a good first day of school.
I love this summer, and I love you even more.
I stole this quote from a girl's love letter to my best friend. I love it so much! I hope you like it too.
Zhen Hao: “…”
If she hadn't seen Shi Xu's words, she would have almost forgotten Yu Ling's plan to write a love letter to Shi Hang.
She sat at the desk and read for a long time, from the time when she left without saying goodbye to the year when they took the college entrance examination -
Wednesday, September 1, 2010, cloudy mood
Happy senior year! It’s the ninth day that I haven’t had a good first day of school.
…………
Tuesday, June 7, 2011, sunny mood
The first day of the college entrance examination is over.
This summer, I want to win, and I miss you too.
…………
What was Zhen Hao doing during the college entrance examination season?
She is both excited and anxious about the future.
After the college entrance examination results came out, her grades were neither good nor bad, and she was admitted to a 211 university. However, her family had a small conflict over her going to college.
Ho Yun-lien believes her daughter doesn't need to study so much: "It's enough for her to study hard until high school. It's better not to go to college."
Zhen Dongcheng, however, insisted: "Only by studying can one succeed. No matter how the children perform in the exams, as long as they are willing to study, I will continue to support them."
Zhen Hao was very grateful to her father for this. If it weren't for his support, she might have been like the other sisters in the village, working in a factory for a few years, then getting married and living like that for the rest of her life.
She was even more grateful to her father for being willing to lend her money for college even though his business was clearly losing money and he owed money to the bank.
When Zhen Hao learned that the huge sum of money owed by Zhen Dongcheng included money for his three children's education, he felt sad.
She only hated that her growth rate could not keep up with the speed at which her parents aged, and that she had accomplished nothing when they needed their children to support them.
This incident discouraged her for a long time.
He Yunlian once suddenly asked: "Okay, do you blame your mother for not wanting you to go to college?"
Is it strange?
Zhen Hao thought about this question for a long time.
She thought that if she had not been able to go to university, she would not only blame He Yunlian, but also hate her.
But she did not lose the opportunity to go to school because of He Yunlian's obstruction, so she only became more aware of the fact: in fact, her parents did not love her that much.
So she just replied to He Yunlian perfunctorily: "It's not my fault. You and Dad have worked hard."
Firstly, there was no point in holding on to the past anymore. Secondly, given He Yunlian's mental state when she asked this question, Zhen Hao didn't dare to say anything too extreme to provoke her.
Zhen Hao sighed softly and planned to finish reading the rest of the diary -
Thursday, September 1, 2011, sunny mood
Happy freshman year! It’s the eleventh day that I won’t be able to see the first day of school.
Okay, today we are all college students.
I hope you don’t fall in love.
I also hope that you can be loved well once.
It doesn’t matter even if that person is not me.
…………
Saturday, September 1, 2012, sunny mood
Happy sophomore year! I won’t be able to have a good first day of school on my thirteenth year.
…………
Sunday, September 1, 2013, cloudy mood
Happy junior year! It’s the fifteenth year and I won’t be able to see the first day of school.
…………
Monday, September 1, 2014, sunny mood
Happy senior year! It’s the seventeenth day that I won’t be able to see the first day of school.
…………
The chronological diary ends on the day they reunited, which was the night Zhen Hao broke up with Qin Shen for the first time.
After nine years, she appeared in front of Shixu in the most miserable state.
