Chapter 1: Separation for Reunion

"General, go slowly, I'll go back when I go-" This kind of word for reading shadow puppetry in Beijing accent is only Shao Chen, but it is because of this unique style that the Angelica Shadow Puppet Society can go all the way to the whole country under his leadership, and perform in the imperial capital for people from all over the world. Shao Chen was even praised by the school leaders, saying that he earned a breath for the school!

is the same person, why can Shao Chen be so ...... It can be said that it is excellent, the voice is good, the family background is not bad, and the study is okay. Xu Yu looked at Shao Chen with his face, a little puzzled why, but probably to verify the sentence that no one is perfect, Shao Chen is not tall, and he is not very good-looking, so Xu Yu felt a little comforted in his heart.

"That...... What are you promising to be in a daze?" Shao Chen leaned over and asked.

Xu Yu glanced at him, "Didn't you say that the shadow puppet figure was broken last time? You don't remember to give it to me, so I can only come by myself." You're practicing, and I'm too embarrassed to disturb you, what can I do?"

Shao Chen coughed embarrassedly: "Ahem, that...... I thought they had it for you, so I thought, huh...... Wait, I'll get it for you. โ€

The disgust on the promise face, how did you make friends with this second goods, it must be because of the deepening of myopia at the beginning, well, yes.

"Give. Can this still be fixed?"

Xu Yu took the shadow puppet and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but complain: "Are the hands of your club made of scissors? Why did you break the shadow puppet again, you are like this, my master doesn't want to make ...... for you."

Shao Chen touched his head a little embarrassed, "I don't know, I haven't had it before, and shadow puppets have always been bad recently." โ€

"Someone can't be sabotage, right?"

"There shouldn't be such a lack of morality, right?"

"Who knows, let's go, it's going to be dark. โ€

"Hmm. โ€

Under the dim street lamp, two bicycles walked side by side, and the people on the car chatted with each other, and they separated at the intersection.

When he got home, he promised to take out the materials for making shadow puppets, depicted them in the same way, picked up a knife and began to carve. Shadow puppets are not like paper, they are not as soft, and they are not so easy to engrave. The promise is carved knife by knife, and under the light, the image of a figure slowly takes shape. Xu Yu rubbed his wrists, "Hey, this is really not something that people can do, how can the teacher persist in doing this at a certain age." โ€

"Di Di Di-" Xu promised to pick up his phone and see that it was Shao Chen.

"What do you write in Chinese composition?"

Xu was a little speechless, and typed a few words and sent it over, "You yourself are the representative of the Chinese class, okay, why are you embarrassed to ask me?"

"Well, I don't want to be a class representative. Who told the teacher that there are not many people who know each other after being assigned to a class, and I am the only one who is excellent?"

Promise glanced at it and continued to be a shadow puppet figure. About three minutes later, he promised to change Shao Chen's remarks to "Devil" and then sent a screenshot over, quietly raised his middle finger at the phone, and never looked at the phone again.

The next day was Saturday, and he promised not to rush to school, so he simply stayed in bed. Before he was comfortable, Shao Chen sent a message: "Early~" The promise was a little disgusting, a boy, even if he used a girl's avatar, he had to bring a wavy line, which was terrible. The two of them just chatted again, not so much chatting as disgusting each other.

"Hey, that shadow puppet is almost colored. Will you go on your own or will I come?"

"You asked so, of course you came~"

"[disgusted] why are you so lazy?"

"You don't know what kind of person I am"

"Shao Chen, do you really want to have a face, okay?

"I've lost my face!"

Xu Promise was silent for a moment: "Silence is Kangqiao tonight." โ€

Shao Chen looked at the chat with Xu Yu and smiled.

What can I do with such a stupid girlfriend? Of course, I am spoiled.

"Yo, smiling like this, chatting with Xu Yu again?" Shao Chen's side, a head suddenly came over. "Go! Yu Zhen, let me tell you, if you are like this next time, I will never give you water again if you write silently in English. โ€

Yu Zhen smiled sheepishly: "I'm doing you a favor, who let you be so cowardly." โ€

Shao Chen felt the corners of his forehead jump: "Get out!"

"Heh, man. Yu Zhen looked at Shao Chen with disdain. "You just wait to cry. โ€

"You should be glad she didn't hear you last time, or I'd have killed you. โ€

"Shorty!"

"Damn, it's your business!"

"Look at you, tsk, if she said that about you, you wouldn't have reacted so much. โ€

โ€œzzใ€‚ โ€

Promise didn't know what to say about himself, so he went out to buy paint, and was hit by a little broken child, what the hell! When she got home, she complained to Shao Chen.

"What the hell was my luck to get hit like that...... Riding so fast at the turn, doesn't he want to die?"

"[laughing and crying] I'm riding fast too"

"You ...... Hey, forget it. โ€

Xu Yu took a deep breath and began to babble in an old mother's voice: "Do you understand how to slow down on the road? What should I do if I am hit by a car? Do you want to die? Really...... In the future, be careful, don't keep looking at it when you ride, what's there to see!"

Shao Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw this string of words, but he was a little helpless and could only reply: "I know, I will pay attention"

Xu Xu was probably a crow's mouth, and Shao Chen was hit by a car on his way home from a workout exercise that night. After returning home, Shao Chen cried to Xu Yu about the incident, and Xu Xu, who didn't know the cause and result, heard that he was hit by a car, and his first reaction was: "Are you okay?" and then followed by "You can't see the road when you walk!"

Shao Chen was very aggrieved about this: "I'm fine, but it's a little painful." It's not my fault, it's the driver's fault! I heard a cat scream and turned around, and the car crashed into it. Fortunately, it was at the turn, and the speed was not fast. โ€

"You also know the two words lucky! Really, be careful next time! Okay? Take care of it. Did you tell your parents?"

"Why should I tell them, it's not very serious. โ€

"Didn't you say that you were hit by a car? You should be sober! This is not a collision with someone!"

"It's just a little painful, it's fine, there's no need to tell them, and it's not once or twice. โ€

"Forget it, take care of it!"

"Got it, got it. Shao Chen's voice was smiling, and through the phone, the voice with a hint of electricity was even more magnetic.

However, the promise was not voice-controlled, and it was not affected in the slightest, but said: "You still want to laugh! I really don't know what you think!"

"I was wrong!I'm sorry!~"

"Evil is not disgusting, you can stop. โ€

The voice of infinite grievance came: "Oh. โ€

Xu Promise held back a smile: "Okay, hang up the phone, bye-bye." โ€

"Yes. โ€

Promise never felt that there was anything wrong with them getting along with each other. She has always been not good at getting along with people, so there are only a few friends, and Shao Chen is really an accident. They didn't know each other in the first place, they weren't in the same class, and even the classes were in two teaching buildings, but Shao Chen was a friend who had made a promise.

If you want to ask who provoked the other party first, promise to know that you are wrong. Although Shao Chen added a friend, he didn't say a word to the promise, at most he sent holiday wishes. Xu promised to ask who you were on a whim last time, and the two got to know each other. After being a netizen for half a year, the school didn't know what to think and decided to divide classes. Fate is probably like this, the day before the two were still asking each other what class you were in, both of them were at a loss, and the next day they reported to the school, and found that the two of them were in a class.

Although it is said that it is in the same class, there is not much intersection between the two people, netizens meet = awkward, and the two of them don't say a word. Except for those who were in the same class as Shao Chen before, they didn't know that Shao Chen and Xu Yu knew each other. Xu promised to know Shao Chen, and no one knew about it. The two of them perfectly interpret what it means to be "strangers".

Yu Zhen was in the same class as them, and he stayed with Shao Chen during every class, and Xu Yu obviously felt that Yu Zhen was looking at her when he spoke, and when she raised her head, she could see Yu Zhen frowning at her. She gave it a cold look, then lowered her head again. She didn't know how frustrated Yu Zhen's face was after she lowered her head, but it was more of a gloating.

After the class, everyone began to get acquainted, and they gradually became acquainted. Xu Promise had heard of Shao Chen's name, but he didn't know what Shao Chen did. Later, Xu Yu learned that Shao Chen was performing shadow puppetry! She had been learning how to make shadow puppets from her master, but she had never learned how to perform, and she was also very interested in it. Xu Yu was soon invited to join the shadow puppet society, and he made a lot of contributions.

The juvenile time is very beautiful and simple, and the goodwill of the teenager can be regarded as inexplicable, just a small thing can touch people's heartstrings. Ignorant feelings, carefully guarded, painted with brilliant colors to youth.

Xu Promise didn't know anything about Shao Chen's thoughts, and Shao Chen didn't want Promise to know. I went to school again on Monday, and the two of them were both members of the excellent class, and they both chose to live in the school until half past ten in the evening. After living on campus, I promised to have a good relationship with each dormitory, and I often went to the dormitory, and this is where things took a turn.

The relationship between her and Li Yiran is okay, Li Yiran broke up with her boyfriend, and she was not in a very good mood, when Li Yiran went to take a bath, she promised to ask their dormitory director about the cause and couldn't help but say: "What to talk about, what is there to talk about, you should study hard now." โ€

Their dormitory head was the head of Shao Chen's previous class, and she couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and said, "You made Shao Chen hear what he probably wanted to cry." โ€

Xu Promise looked dazed: "Ah, why is he crying?"

"Shao Chen, he wants to deal with you!"

Xu Yu was stunned, and thought about it, no, "But this is what Shao Chen said himself." โ€

"Tut-tut, he's a person. โ€

I learned the news that Shao Chen liked her in vain, and promised that he was really confused, and he was relieved in an instant, before, he was young and ignorant, but now he probably doesn't feel it anymore. Xu Promise also complained to their dormitory director. The head of the dormitory smiled: "I'll just say that there is no pure friendship between men and women!"

Xu Promise was speechless, what is this!

Originally, this stubble had passed, and she couldn't face Shao Chen normally, and after a morning self-study, her former classmates suddenly ran over to her and said, "Shao Chen likes you." โ€

Promise calmly spoke: "Oh, fake. โ€

"No, I didn't lie to you, really!"

"Fake. โ€

He seemed a little anxious: "Really, he said it himself. โ€

Xu didn't bother to react directly, so he gave him a blank look and left. I don't know who started the rumor, in short, many people suddenly learned that Shao Chen likes to make promises, and what is even more terrifying is that they spread that two people are happy with each other. The promise means: I (swear words).

The daily life of the promise becomes:

When pouring water, classmate A: Promise, someone is looking for you! Promise: Who? Classmate A: Shao Chen.

When looking for someone to ask, classmate B: Promise, are you here to find Shao Chen?

When I went to see the answer to the grade, classmate C: Shao Chen helped you read it, you can ask him directly.

Promise: (expletive) What's the matter with him!

When Xu Yu was glad that the friendship between the two had not deteriorated, Xu Xing's friend quietly boarded the promised Penguin with his mobile phone and asked Shao Chen. Xu Promise looked at the question on the computer and was stunned!

"Promise": I ask you a question, you must answer me seriously, you have to promise!

Shao Chen: You're so serious, of course I can't be serious!

"Promise": Otherwise, break off the relationship!

Shao Chen: Okay, yes, I swear, I must be serious, what's the matter, so serious.

"Promise": Do you like me?

Shao Chen can be said to have hid on the spot, and only replied "yes" after about 2 minutes.

Without asking the person who asked how he felt, Xu was stunned on the spot. She had a guess, but she didn't expect Shao Chen to really like her!

After receiving the answer, the friend who made the promise quickly explained: "I am not a promise, I am his friend, I am just here to ask." โ€

Halfway through Shao Chen's question, his friend explained to himself, "When I went out with Promise, he logged in to the Penguin number on my phone, so I can get on?

Shao Chen was slightly shy: "En"

"Then why don't you confess?"

"I don't really have a lot of contact with her, so it's too hasty. And now the main thing is to study, she said that she is going to take the A major, and I will go too!"

"ฮฃ (ยทโ–ณยทlll) Wait!, but she said she wanted to go to Q University!"

"Then we really don't have fate. Let's try it anyway!"

"You liked him for so long, didn't you say that you really didn't feel uncomfortable?"

"Actually, I'm very happy to see him every day!"

Promising looked at her and didn't know how to react, her friend messaged her and said, "Why don't you just follow him!" [screenshot][screenshot][screenshot]"

The promise hesitated for a while, this is impossible, talking about it now is simply equivalent to self-destruction of the future, and even Shao Chen himself said that the main thing is to study. And, she... The next semester is leaving.

She confessed to Shao Chen, she already knew all this, and she only hoped that she could continue to be friends. Xu Yu also asked a third time, "How did you know me?" Before, Shao Chen said, "Because you are relatively good, I saw you when the outstanding student commended me, so I paid attention to you." She barely believed it, and now, she didn't think so, and this reason that sounded was simply impossible.

Shao Chen was a little helpless: "Why are you still holding on to this question? I first saw you when I was in the first monthly exam, and I saw you when I was bored after writing the test papers, although I always lowered my head to do the test papers, but I just felt that you were different from them." But I don't know you either, so I didn't talk. Later, at the school sports meeting, I saw a photo of your class, saw you, and asked your classmates for your penguin. I've often seen you come to the office and ask questions or something, and ...... That's pretty much it. โ€

After hearing this, Xu promised to be a little emotional, and both of them were a little embarrassed, so they didn't say anything more. The promise also made it clear to her friend, "Impossible." If Shao Chen can be admitted to the top 30, I can still think about it. โ€

Xu Promise never expected that her friend would send this sentence to Shao Chen. Shao Chen, who had been in his forties and fifties, suddenly became angry and tried to be admitted to more than thirty, and the teacher praised him a lot. Promise was a little surprised, but didn't say anything more. In the end, all this can only be left to fate to see, Xu thought pessimistically.

Soon, the most critical period is coming, Shao Chen will go to the imperial capital for his last shadow puppet performance in school, and he promised to be a member of the shadow puppet club, so he also went. She watched Shao Chen's radiant appearance when he performed the shadow puppet performance backstage and smiled. "My grandson will go back when he goes!" The shadow puppet is over, and the relationship between them is almost over. A month later, after the final exam, after the exam, she should go back......

The end of the term is fast approaching, and it is over quickly. On the day the results came out, Shao Chen sent a message a little frustrated: "The exam is only 33." "Promise to ask the teacher for her file at school at this time, and she has to go back to S City to take the college entrance examination. On the morning of the day they received their report cards, they rushed to the train station. No one sent her, and she didn't need anyone to send it.

The moment before she walked into the station, she glanced back. She also didn't know if she would ever return to the city, which might be her last impression of the city.

When he arrived on the train, Xu promised to reply to the message sent by Shao Chen the day before, "33 is very good, you continue to work hard! I have returned to my hometown, come on for the exam, I wish you can be admitted to the university you like! and...... In the shadow puppet club, I left you a letter. โ€

Xu promised to know that Shao Chen was still in school at this time, and he couldn't see the news she left for him, and by the time he saw it, she estimated that she was almost in S City. I don't know if he will get angry and complain about her saying goodbye? She left some of the materials they needed in the shadow puppet club and the so-called letter, which was just a note.

On that note lay a few words quietly: Our story is to be continued. Maybe the next time we meet, we'll all be better versions of ourselves. - Promise.
