Chapter 36: Confusing Love
In the following months, the streets and alleys of Quancheng, next to Baotu Spring, and under the Thousand Buddha Mountain, left the footprints of Zhuge Huaizhi and Hu Jianjian everywhere.
"Lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city lake", on the eve of graduation, Zhuge Huaizhi and Hu Jianjian came to the shore of Daming Lake, it is the spring of March, the spring breeze is warm, the green willows are still around, the two linger in the beautiful scenery, and finally come to the Lixia Pavilion of the island in the center of the lake.
"Jianjian, do you know whose inscription is on the plaque on this pavilion?"
"I don't know!"
"This is the imperial book of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the couplet in front of the pavilion "the right of the sea is ancient, Jinan is a famous man" is Du Fu's verse, in ancient times, the pavilion was in the area of Wulongtan, after the Song Dynasty moved to the south side of Daming Lake, we are now sitting in this place, built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, has always been a place where literati gather!" Speaking of the history of Daming Lake, Zhuge Huaizhi talked eloquently.
"Wow, brother, you know so much!" Hu Jianjian's eyes were full of admiration.
Zhuge Huaizhi's favorite books are mostly military and history, speaking of these, he is not too tired to talk about three days and three nights, but ordinary girls don't like to listen to these, Hu Jianjian is an exception, every time Zhuge Huaizhi talks about historical allusions, she listens to it like a drunk.
In addition, Hu Jianjian also likes sports very much, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, long-distance running and long jump are also her strengths, and the two can be said to have similar interests.
"Brother, you will graduate next month, so I can't go out to play with you, and I can't eat together!" Hu Jianjian was a little sad.
"Fool, you just think about eating and playing, and you have nothing to do with your time studying!"
"Brother, when I go to Yimeng to find you during the summer vacation, you have to invite me to dinner!"
"Just know how to eat!" Zhuge Huaizhi smiled dotingly, although he never picked it out, he felt that this was love.
"Brother, will you be transferred to Zibo for me in the future?" Hu Jianjian suddenly asked.
"Yes!" Zhuge Huaizhi replied without thinking.
Hu Jianjian smiled, stood up and walked slowly towards Zhuge Huaizhi......
"Zhuge don't sleep! It's time to work!" someone pushed Zhuge Huaizhi, opened his eyes and looked, Zhuge Huaizhi was stunned for a few seconds before he found himself lying on the bed in the shunting lounge, the pavilions and pavilions on Daming Lake and the water pavilion promenade were gone, and Zhuge Huaizhi's heart was empty.
After work, Zhuge Huaizhi returned to the dormitory, and began to write to Hu Jianjian without eating, maybe she didn't know her new address, maybe she couldn't contact herself so she didn't write a letter, maybe ...... Anyway, Zhuge Huaizhi made up his mind to make things clear, talked about it, and asked Hu Jianjian what he was planning.
"Hello Jianjian! I haven't been in touch for a few months, are you okay?" Zhuge Huaizhi had a thousand words to say, but he didn't know where to start when he picked up the pen.
It's not good to write too intimately, after all, it's not a formal relationship, and it's too formatted and it looks raw, Zhuge Huaizhi scratched his scalp and felt embarrassed.
A heart hung there, seven up and eight down, Zhuge Huaizhi settled down and wrote it down.
"You've been very busy studying lately, right? Before the separation, you said that you were going to Yimeng to play during the summer vacation, I have been looking forward to it for a long time, I want to take you to eat Yimeng fried chicken, and I want to take you to eat spicy fried hoof tendons, braised steel needlefish in the Yi River, fresh and delicious pea jelly, there has been no news of you, I miss it very much. ”
Zhuge Huaizhi looked at the photo in his hand while writing, Hu Jianjian smiled at him in the photo, although he was not particularly beautiful, but he was invincible in his youth, and there was a feeling of being domineering, Zhuge Huaizhi couldn't help but follow the corners of his mouth up, and he continued to write.
"Before leaving, you asked me if I would transfer you to your hometown to work, I didn't think about it and said yes, you smiled very happily at that time, which gave me great courage, so I wrote to you today to confirm what you think about the relationship between us?"
Zhuge Huaizhi wrote down his new job and new mailing address in the letter, came to the post office in Judong County when he was off duty, and pasted an eight-point stamp and sent it.
What followed was a long wait, basically every day Zhuge Huaizhi had to go to the stationmaster's office to check if there was any of his letters, and every time he went in a hurry, he returned disappointed.
Zhuge Huaizhi had an impulse to call Ren Yongjie and ask him to help Xu Xinxin inquire about Hu Jianjian's current situation?
Thinking about it again, maybe Hu Jianjian met a new boy and forgot about him, wouldn't that make people laugh?
The days passed slowly in torment, the leaves slowly turned yellow and fell to the ground, and when the first snow of winter came, Zhuge Huaizhi finally received a letter from Hu Jianjian.
"Well, the letter you've been waiting for for a long time is finally here!" Zhou Wenjian threw a thin letter in front of him and looked at him mockingly, "Zhuge did you have a girlfriend at school?"
"No, it's just a classmate, help inquire about something. Zhuge Huaizhi didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he took the letter and hurried away.
Fortunately, he was not on duty today, otherwise Zhuge Huaizhi really couldn't guarantee whether he could work safely in the shunting, and he was flustered and couldn't calm down.
I trotted back to the dormitory, the dormitory was empty, and I went home when I went to work and off-duty.
Zhuge Huaizhi's hands trembled slightly when he opened the letter, and there was only a piece of letter paper inside, with a few lines of words written scattered and scattered.
"Hello Zhuge Huaizhi! I am very happy to receive your letter, I am very good, but I am much busier than the first year, and I have something at home during the summer vacation, so I can't go to you, I'm very sorry. ”
As soon as he saw the beginning, Zhuge Huaizhi's heart was cold, Hu Jianjian no longer called him brother, he didn't even call him a senior brother, and directly became Zhuge Huaizhi's classmate, such a high-sounding title really made him very uncomfortable.
"As for the relationship between us, I don't understand it, isn't it just the relationship between classmates? Maybe you're thinking a little too much. ”
Zhuge Huaizhi silently put down the letter, no longer looking down, there were only a few lines behind it, "This salute! Your classmate Hu Jianjian! December 15, 1991!"
There was scattered light snow outside, but Zhuge Huaizhi's mood was as if he was frozen in ice, numb and unconscious, he smiled abruptly, laughing at himself for being really sentimental, laughing at how quickly everything in this world changes, and he is still the boy standing in place.
Zhuge Huaizhi picked up the basketball and rushed into the station basketball court with fluttering snowflakes, running frantically, dribbling, and layup, and the ball went in! Do it again! Zhuge Huaizhi wanted to exhaust the last bit of strength in his body, and then start over!
Zhuge Huaizhi jumped up and down in the basketball court, Wu Liankang and Zhou Wenjian were in the stationmaster's room on the second floor, looking down through the glass, "This kid is really not doing his job!
"When we were in Ruyi Town together, he didn't care, he mixed with those old fritters all day long, either drinking or playing cards! I don't know how to mix him into an adult secondary school! Hehe!" Zhou Wenjian said casually.
"It's time to arrange some more work for him!" Wu Liankang looked gloomy.
