Chapter 190 The bitter history of long-distance love
The person who was speaking was a very good friend of Zhang Fengfeng. At this time, no one except Wang could get a word in. No one could explain clearly matters like feelings.
"You don't know! You all don't know! You don't understand! You won't understand!" Zhang Fengfeng shouted in collapse.
In fact, anyone who is not a fool can understand what is going on in the current situation. On the second day of arriving in the beautiful country, Huang Qingqing abandoned her boyfriend of five years and threw herself into the arms of another man.
Zhang Fengfeng naturally understood it, too. After shouting at others that they didn't understand, he seemed to have used up all his strength. Like a puddle of mud, he slowly collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself.
"You don't know, Qingqing and I grew up together. Although we weren't childhood sweethearts, we were always together. Before the first year of high school, we always called each other brother and sister. It wasn't until the first year of high school that Qingqing came to find me. It was the second semester of the first year of high school."
At this point, Zhang Fengfeng's eyes seemed to light up, and he looked at the people around him and asked, "Who wants a cigarette? Can you give me one?"
A male classmate next to him took out a cigarette and handed one to Zhang Fengfeng.
Zhang Fengfeng took the cigarette, lit it, took a long puff, and tears came out of his eyes. He didn't know whether these tears were from the smoke or from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Fengfeng continued, "Qingqing came to me and told me that she couldn't continue her studies. Her family couldn't afford to support a scholar like her. Her mother said, why does a woman need to know so many words? It's enough for her to work in the fields and have children."
Having said this, Huang Qingqing moved her head slightly.
"Qingqing told me that her father was ill, and her mother didn't want her to study anymore. She wanted her to get married, and she has asked a nearby matchmaker to find a wife. Her mother said that she should get married early and receive some gifts to pay for her father's medical treatment and to find a wife for her brother."
Zhang Fengfeng took two deep puffs of the cigarette and his face turned red from choking. He only took three puffs of the cigarette before it burned to the bottom.
"Do you want to pay me back? I'll return it to you later." Zhang Fengfeng looked at the classmate behind him, and the classmate handed him a whole pack of cigarettes.
Everyone was listening to Zhang Fengfeng's story without moving, including Jack.
"Qingqing's words hit me like a thunderbolt from the clear sky. I just said to Qingqing, 'Wait for me', and ran home. I always thought I treated Qingqing as my sister, until Qingqing said she wanted to get married, my heart ached so much that I couldn't breathe."
"I ran back home and told my parents that I wanted to marry Qingqing. I would never marry anyone else except Qingqing in this life. When my parents came with the betrothal gifts to arrange the marriage, I was in the first year of high school and Qingqing was also in the first year of high school."
At this time, there was a slight sobbing sound from the field. Looking in the direction of the sound, it was Huang Qingqing, who was already in tears.
Zhang Fengfeng lit up another cigarette. Actually, Zhang Fengfeng didn't smoke, but at this moment, perhaps there was no better way to vent.
"In this way, Qingqing and I went from being siblings to being a couple. My family borrowed money from everywhere and after collecting enough for the betrothal gift, they also supported Qingqing and me to study. At that time, our family was in great difficulty. Not to mention rice, even sweet potatoes were not enough. Qingqing and I would go to the fields to dig wild vegetables after school every day and come back to make wild vegetable cakes. Every time I saw Qingqing was always hungry, I told her that I was full. As a result, now I am the shortest among all the people in our family, including my mother."
Huang Qingqing was in tears here, and sobbing sounds could be heard continuously.
On the other side, Zhang Fengfeng smoked one cigarette after another but kept talking.
"After Qingqing and I got engaged, we were nominally husband and wife. Qingqing lived in my house while she was in school, but in the past five years, we didn't cross the line."
"I've never crossed the line! At most, I would help her out when I went upstairs to dig wild vegetables." Zhang Fengfeng completely collapsed.
"Fengfeng, I..." Huang Qingqing hesitated to speak.
Zhang Fengfeng shook off the cigarette butt in his hand. The cigarette had already burned his finger and a big blister had appeared, but Zhang Fengfeng seemed not to feel it.
"Qingqing, do you still remember? What did we say before the college entrance examination was resumed? At that time, we were thinking that after we graduated from high school, we would go home and get married officially, and then teach in the village school. You would teach Chinese and I would teach math. Then we would have two more children, one would look like you and the other would look like me..." At this point, Zhang Fengfeng couldn't stop crying.
Huang Qingqing didn't respond, but her eyes were already filled with tears.
Zhang Fengfeng wiped his tears with his sleeve and continued, "Later, the college entrance examination was opened. You told me that we should study hard to get out of this village and out of this circle. For you, I studied day and night. You taught me Chinese and I taught you physics. After the results were announced, we were both admitted to Jingqing University. This was the first time in our area."
"The moment you received the acceptance letter, you were as happy as a child, jumping up and down. You happily hugged me and said that we could go to Kyoto together. That was the only time you hugged me."
The sobbing sounds around gradually became more frequent. Several girls couldn't help wiping their tears. Mi Xia also felt her nose getting sore. She didn't expect that there were so many stories in their long-term love.
Zhang Fengfeng dusted himself off, stood up, and looked straight at Huang Qingqing.
"Qingqing, look into my eyes, look at me!"
Huang Qingqing quietly hid behind Jack, unwilling to look directly at Zhang Fengfeng.
"Qingqing, do you remember how we went to Jingqing? We used the bonus given by our hometown and county to buy tickets, although that little money was only enough for a hard berth on the train, and it would take three days and three nights to get from my hometown to Kyoto. So, we took the pickles and bread prepared by my mother for us, and brought two kettles, and set off on the road to Jingqing to study."
"On the way, you told me that when we get to college, we should focus on our studies and put aside our personal relationships. Anyway, you and I are already engaged, and you can't run away."
Zhang Fengfeng stared at Jack fiercely, and Jack involuntarily took a half step back because of this fierce look.
Zhang Fengfeng continued, "Okay, I'll listen to you. We should focus on our studies. We didn't apply for a couple's dormitory like those couples. On the contrary, because we were not in the same department, our contact gradually decreased. I thought at that time that we would still be together for decades. If the love between two people is long-lasting, why should we be together day and night?"
"Years ago, you suddenly told me that you wanted to apply to be an exchange student in the United States. After I heard that, I also submitted an application. For this exchange student quota, I worked in the laboratory until late at night every day and was the first to arrive at the laboratory in the morning, just so that the professor could approve this quota for me. Do you know all this, Qingqing?"
