Chapter 132: The Taste of Missing
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, just after noon, Yang Yilin took a long-distance bus back to Huayuan from Zhongyang County. He only stopped for half an hour in Yinghuaxili, and then quickly rode to the private school alley.
Yang Yilin saw that the gate of the Zheng family was hidden, and said in his heart: Oh, it's the New Year, and there are people coming and going in this family, so there is no latch on the door. He pushed open the gate and heard many people talking in the courtyard, so he was anxious to see Zheng Xiaowen, so he went directly into the gate.
Yang Yilin came to the inner gate, and saw the couplet pasted on the trunk of the hibiscus flower at a glance, and he was suddenly surprised in his heart: Ah, Xiaowen is back! This time Xiaowen is really back! This sentence on the couplet is what I said, she still remembers that it was written so clearly, she is really a person with a heart, she really has me Yang Yilin in her heart, hehe!
Yang Yilin was excited in his heart, with a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed, and hurriedly stepped up his steps to walk towards the Zheng family's courtyard. When he came to the courtyard, he saw his group of good friends, and there was no one in them. Who else did he hear say: When will Xiaowen come back!
When Yang Yilin heard this, he was relieved and said: I will count it today, I am afraid that there will be a lot of people here, so I didn't take a gift, which is really right. If I come with a gift in both hands, how can I explain it if my friends see it?" he said in his heart, and his face still showed an excited smile on his face that he hadn't seen for a few days.
Lin Jing saw Yang Yilin first, and she was suddenly surprised in her heart, and greeted with a smile: "Yang Yilin, you're back!"
Followed by Wen Jiemei's voice: "Director Yang is back!" Director Yang, when you come back, even if all your friends are here, Xiaowen is missing, it's really boring!"
Then Qiao Xiang, Su Chen, Qin Zixi, Song Yi, and these four good friends were all shouting: "Yilin is back! You came just in time, so that your friends can't get together, and you feel awkward!"
Last night, Zheng Xiaowen was thinking that Yang Yilin would come back in the fourth year of junior high school, because the fourth year of junior high school was also on annual leave, she was afraid that Yang Yilin would not go to work, so she would come to the house early in the morning, and she would stay until dark before leaving, and she would not be able to leave the door of the West Wing all day. This morning, she went to her aunt's house as soon as she got up.
Who knows, a large group of friends came this afternoon, and this deep house compound is lively again. Zheng's father and Zheng's mother looked at this group of young people and were very happy.
Zheng's mother asked Qiao Xiang and Qin Zixi to put the small square table in the east house in the courtyard, and brought out plates of peanuts, melon seeds, oranges, apples, milk candy, and fruit candy to entertain this group of children.
Zheng's mother said to the group: "Children, if you think that the courtyard is cold and there is a stove in the study, you can take the things on the table to the study and eat them." Also, the spring flowers, plum blossoms, and wax plum blossoms in the East Garden are in full bloom, and they are in good bloom, so you can all go and enjoy the flowers in a while!"
As soon as Zheng's mother's words fell, the group of boys and girls didn't say that they would go to the study, they all raised their hands to grab melon seeds or peanuts, and they all hugged the East Garden again.
A group of friends were lively in the East Garden, some people carefully watched the petals and stamens of the flowers, and the natural growth was beautiful; some people were watching the couplet, looking at the funny content on the couplet, which caused everyone to laugh; some people laughed at Da Hei, watching Da Hei squeeze his eyebrows, stick out his tongue and lick his lips, and wag his tail.
Everyone was looking at the scenery, playing, and laughing, but Qiao Xiang was standing alone, his face was gloomy and Zheng Xiaowen was churning in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but get wet.
Qiao Xiang was thinking about Zheng Xiaowen, he saw Yang Yilin in a blink of an eye, and suddenly thought in his heart: Didn't Xiaowen get along with Yang Yilin, didn't she knit a sweater for Yang Yilin, why didn't she even see Yang Yilin? God, what's going on? He shook his head, thought hard in his heart, and didn't solve this mystery.
During this period of time, Qiao Xiang missed Zheng Xiaowen too much, when he missed Zheng Xiaowen, he also thought of the state of mind at the Zheng family's party that day, when he wanted to fight, grab, and rob Zheng Xiaowen with Yang Yilin and Qin Zixi, he couldn't help but say in his heart: I can't even see a figure here, what are you fighting for! What else to grab!
What Qiao Xiang said in his heart was just that he was upset, he was still thinking about it, and he was still shouting in his heart: Xiaowen, where are you? Where have you been? I can't stand it anymore, you know?!
During this time, especially in the past few days of the Chinese New Year, Qiao Xiang missed Zheng Xiaowen too much, he really couldn't stand the pain of missing, yesterday, he wrote a song "Appeal to the Heart".
Qiao Xiang's new song, he sang it at home for a day, and he was already familiar with it. At this moment, he missed Zheng Xiaowen so much that he looked unhappy, turned around and walked sullenly to a spring flower, sat on the stone bench, played the guitar with both hands slightly, and sang his heartfelt words "Appeal to the Heart" in a very low voice:
On the day of enrollment, I met a beautiful girl,
At that moment, my steps were unmoving, my heart was pounding......
Dream of youth together,
Grown into a ...... at the beginning of the same year
Qiao Xiang sang and sang, his tears fell, he was afraid that people would see it, so he quickly raised his hand to wipe away his tears. In the past, he often couldn't see Zheng Xiaowen, but he knew where Zheng Xiaowen was and what Zheng Xiaowen was doing. In the past few months, he didn't even know Zheng Xiaowen's traces, and he was depressed and had nowhere to tell, so he was even more depressed. He asked Su Chen twice, but he was afraid that Su Chen would be suspicious, and after that, as long as Su Chen didn't mention Zheng Xiaowen, he didn't take the initiative to mention it again.
Qiao Xiang sang his "Heartfelt Appeal" lonely and sadly, and he was even more uncomfortable and unable to return to his friends to play. With his eyes half-closed, his lips moving again, he sang silently about what he said, what he thought, what he hoped for......
Su Chen had already seen that Qiao Xiang was unhappy, she watched the flowers playing, and kept paying attention to Qiao Xiang's movements. She listened carefully to Qiao Xiang's singing with her ears, and knew that Qiao Xiang had made the old mistake of missing that girl again. She saw Qiao Xiang closing his eyes and chanting scriptures, and hurriedly walked over and said: "It's not cold on the stone bench, and I'm not afraid of freezing you!
Actually, Qin Zixi had already seen Qiao Xiang unhappy, and even Qiao Xiang walked aside and didn't look at the flowers with everyone, he also saw it, and he also felt something.
At this moment, Qin Zixi thought about it carefully, and only then did he understand a little in his heart: Oh, Qiao Xiang must have missed Xiaowen, and he must have missed the flowers so much that he went to the side alone. Qiao Xiang couldn't see Xiaowen when he came to Zheng's house, his heart was the same as mine, and it wasn't a taste to be there alone, alas!
Qin Zixi only thought about it and sighed in his heart, he still dared to go to Qiao Xiang to talk around a few words of persuasion? He didn't dare! If he tried to persuade him, he would definitely not be able to hold back his tears first, Qiao Xiang's tears hadn't come down yet, his tears had come down first! At this moment, he quickly settled down and stabilized himself, so he had to stand there and look at the flowers and the couplets!
Yang Yilin saw that everyone was laughing and playing, he was depressed and had no intention of watching the scenery and enjoying the flowers. He took advantage of everyone's inattention and didn't say a word to anyone, so he quietly went to the West Mansion to see what work Zheng's mother needed him to do.
