Chapter 43: Emotional Escalation
For the two children holding hands, time flies quickly, Father-in-law Sun jumped out of the quilt and climbed to the top of Dongshan with a red face, Mu Zhen felt that the time was not early, and said to Xiaojuan, who had been holding his hand: "We should go back, we will go to school in a while!"
Xiaojuan knew that after stopping for a while, there would be more people in the village, and she was afraid that someone would gossip when she saw her, so the two broke up and walked to their own residences.
Mu Zhen returned to the residence, stood under the big elm tree in front of the house, hesitated for a few minutes, and then tiptoed open the door, Liu Xuchang was still asleep, he looked at the alarm clock on the table, the hour hand had not yet crossed six o'clock, Mu Zhen stood in front of the table, turned on the light, thinking about the scene just now, his heartbeat accelerated a lot, and at the same time felt a little hot on his face. He looked at the dial of the alarm clock and listened to the ticking of the second hand, each of which seemed to strike on his heart, causing resonance and resonance, and he couldn't tell what he had just done, but he knew very well, just like Goethe's young Werther, which opened the window of his heart.
The ticking sound of the second hand of the alarm clock was suddenly replaced by a loud and crisp alarm sound, Mu Zhen's thoughts were retracted, he looked at Liu Xuchang on the bed, and it happened to collide with Liu Xuchang's eyes who had just opened his sleepy eyes when he turned over, and he hurriedly turned his head to take it back.
Liu Xuchang rubbed his eyes, as if he was a little surprised, and asked, "Why did you get up so early?"
"I woke up and couldn't sleep, so I got up!" Mu Zhen heard him ask, guessing that Liu Xuchang didn't know about going out and coming back, he didn't say it and didn't want to say it, he didn't want more people to know about it, after all, it was not a thing that could see the sun, and the seemingly natural answer did not arouse Liu Xuchang's suspicion in the slightest.
"I slept well at night, and I had a dream just now, I dreamed that we went to the canal together, standing on the shore to see the lotus flowers in Nanyang Lake, if it wasn't for this bell, maybe we would have eaten lotus flowers!" Liu Xuchang said and laughed first.
"Look at your beauty!" Mu Zhen glanced back at him, "Look at the saliva is pouring out!"
Liu Xuchang really wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand: "I haven't eaten it, where is the saliva?"
This action made Mu Zhen laugh: "Speaking of this, I really want to eat lotus pods!"
"In a few days, we can go to Nanyang Lake to see, is the lotus blooming? My aunt is in the lake, she has a boat at home, you can take us to see it when the time comes, will you go?" Liu Xuchang looked sincere.
"I'll talk about it then!" Whether Mu Zhen's words are okay or not, Liu Xuchang can't guess, but everyone's fun-loving heart is still there.
"Get up, get up quickly, it's time for us to go to school, we can't delay any longer!" Mu Zhen said in a somewhat anxious tone.
There are few clothes in summer, and it is very convenient to wear, Mu Zhen's words have not yet landed, and Liu Xuchang, who was still lying down just now, has already dressed and stood in front of Mu Zhen.
When Mu Zhen came to the school and followed the team to the playground for exercise, his eyes looked at the adjacent second class team from time to time, and he saw the familiar back, which was Wu Xiaojuan who held his hand in the morning and made herself her best friend, but Wu Xiaojuan did not look for him like him, but pretended to be casual, and did not pay much attention to him, Mu Zhen suddenly felt a little lost, did she forget what she said in the morning? Mu Zhen asked questions from time to time in her heart.
Mu Zhen who was sitting in the classroom had never been in a daze, he looked at the leaves outside the window, as if he saw the big willow tree behind Zhangji Village, as if he saw two figures shaking under the tree, the classmates were reading in the morning, he didn't have the heart to read, and he didn't hear any sound, his mood was silent at this time, and no sound from the outside world could interfere with him, could he have any demons? Mu Zhen asked himself. When he looked down at the book, the words on the book became blurry, and almost all the things he thought in his mind and could see with his eyes became a person, and that person was Xiaojuan.
Mu Zhen spent a day reluctantly, this day, his class became very long, he couldn't remember half of what the teacher said on the podium, his mind was full of Xiao Juan's expression, he secretly wrote the word "Xiao Juan" on the paper countless times, and repeatedly filtered the smile he saw her in the morning in his mind, he hoped that it would get dark sooner, and he hoped that the light class would get off earlier, and he couldn't wait to walk on the road back to his residence as usual, so as to see Xiao Juan he wanted to see.
When the bell rang for the end of the evening light class, he called Liu Xuchang to go back together, he knew that Xiaojuan did not come at night, Mu Zhen was extremely disappointed, and the desire to see him became more urgent. He really can't get back to his yesterday self, he fell in love early.
