Chapter 22: A Narrow Encounter
When she was going to sleep at night, Zimei was a little sticky, and she didn't want to leave for a minute when she hadn't seen her sister for so long. Fortunately, there are two one-meter-two beds in a small room, Tao Zhi slept one, Zijun and Zimei slept on the other, the weather was cold, and it was warm to hug each other.
The next day, I slept until more than nine o'clock, and it was almost noon after breakfast. Zijun wanted to take Tao Zhi to the bazaar, and by the way, he bought some New Year's goods and went home, so Zi'an and Zimei naturally followed. In the small county town, don't look at the usual deserted, on the eve of the New Year, there are many people, the road is narrow, and it is crowded. A group of them, walking and stopping, Zijun introduced some local customs to Tao Zhi from time to time, and the interest was very high.
After passing through the small alley where the incense was stringed, the aroma of spicy tang came out from the mouth of the deep alley, which hooked the mouth.
"Sister, Sister Tao Zhi, Malatang, do you want to go?" Zimei has not been here for more than half a year since he entered the university, and he usually doesn't feel that he can't hold it down when he smells this aroma.
Zijun asked Tao Zhi with his eyes, Tao Zhi naturally yearned for it, she is an authentic Chongqing girl, and her love for Malatang is no less than that of Zijun. As soon as he smelled the aroma, the gluttonous insects had already run out, his eyes were shining, and he nodded quickly. Zi'an couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he looked at the appearance of these three girls, whether it was a steady monarch or a naughty one, it was this Tao Zhi, how could it be the same, and he couldn't walk when he met food.
Familiar place, familiar taste, but there is no familiar person around. Zijun only sighed in his heart and was pulled back to his senses, and a group of people came out, laughing and laughing, as if they had no chance to be sad.
The business of stringing incense is unusually hot, several round stoves are surrounded by people, and a few are thinking about whether to simply forget it, when they hear a crisp voice shouting, the boss settles the bill. Zijun thought that there should be a place now, and when he saw it, it turned out to be Xiao Ping. She was wearing a white down jacket, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her lips were particularly red after eating Malatang, and she was holding a bright red wallet in her white hand. Zijun was stunned, and Xiao Ping also saw her-
"Chen Zijun-" Xiao Ping was also stunned, she didn't expect to see her here, and her calm heart was filled with grievances. Why, why is she, she is obviously more beautiful than her, and she is closer to him, why does he always treat her without pretense? But he never forgets to love her? For Zhou Can, at first, he liked it; later, it was his mother who said that Zhou Can was very good, and hoped that she could marry into the Zhou family in the future; and later, that boy had become an obsession in her heart, and getting him seemed to be more than just because she liked it. She is in an art school, and there are many good-looking boys, and there are many who express their affection for her. Maybe she's cheap, and she can't look down on any of those who come to her door to please her.
"Hello, Xiao Ping. "It's obviously a classmate, but you can only be so polite. After Xiao Ping settled the account, the two girls who were traveling with her got up and came out, and Zi'an took the three girls inside. At the door, Xiao Ping came out of it, "Chen Zijun, let's talk." β
"Brother, you go in first, I'll come later. "I don't know what she's going to talk about, and it doesn't seem like there's anything worth talking about.
"Are you still working in Guangzhou?" Xiao Ping looked at Zijun from head to toe, feeling that she seemed to be doing well, with a good complexion and good clothes. She could still see the stalls and the clothes in the mall at a glance. The most important thing is that even her temperament has changed a lot, she is generous and has a cold temperament. Xiao Ping snorted in her heart, she can live well anywhere.
Zijun was about to answer, but the phone rang, "I'll answer the phone first." β
"Heyβ"
"I've arrived, don't worry. The man's voice came from the microphone, sometimes mixed with the sound of the airport announcement. He dragged the salute in one hand and held his mobile phone in the other, and strode forward. Just because of her safe journey yesterday, he couldn't help but call her as soon as he got off the plane to report his safety.
When she said this, Zijun's face burned, what did she have to worry about?" "That's good, you have a good rest." β
"Well, you too. Then I'm hanging?"
"Good. Zijun paused and added, "I'm outside." β
Xiao Ping kept staring at her expression, as well as the mobile phone in her hand. It just so happened that she also had one, and she had been grinding with her parents for a long time, and then she had saved money for a few months to buy it. Can Chen Zijun afford it? And the gentle voice she had on the phone just now, wouldn't she be in love? This discovery made her heart suddenly happy, but she had to snuff out all the signs.
"Chen Zijun, was that your boyfriend just now?" Zijun looked at her with a bright smile, she knew what she was thinking, and she didn't intend to satisfy her curiosity. Maybe people's aura is not right, that's it, you don't like me, in fact, I don't like you either.
"Say, what do you want to talk to me about?" Zijun had an expression that I still had something to do and I was very busy. Xiao Ping snorted in her heart, but endured it when she thought of her next plan.
"Actually, it's nothing, we're not classmates, we haven't seen each other for a few years, so we can't talk?"
As soon as Zijun heard this, he planned to leave. It's true that they are classmates, there is nothing to talk about when they are in school, and she really can't think of what the two of them can talk about after graduation. Xiao Ping saw that she wanted to leave, so she hurriedly said, "Hey, I've already got along with Zhou Can!"
"I'm not interested in your business. Zijun stood still, staring at Xiao Ping with burning eyes, not knowing whether to convince her or convince himself. Even if she sees Xiao Ping, her complex will fluctuate,
"By the way, you see, this is the last time my mother and Aunt Xia went to Beijing together, we took a photo. Xiao Ping said and took out a photo from her wallet and brought it to Zijun, four people, smiling, standing on the Great Wall.
Zijun didn't want to see it, but the photo still came into view in a blink of an eye. Even if it was just a glance, she still recognized him, standing behind Teacher Xia with a bright smile. He seems to be taller and more handsome, Zijun can't help but feel a slight pain in his heart, like a needle prick, fine and dense. Zijun lowered his eyes to cover the gloom under his eyes, but in an instant, he adjusted his mood and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ping with a smug face.
"That's good, congratulations. God knows how painful these words hurt, as if to make herself more completely dead, she took her purse and looked at it carefully. Since it hurts, it hurts enough at once, and I don't feel sorry for him anymore. Xiao Ping stood in the middle, smiling contentedly, on either side were her mother and Teacher Xia, and Zhou Can stood behind Teacher Xia. The eyebrows and eyes were familiar and unfamiliar, and the smile made her eyes hurt a little.
"It's good. My brother, they're still waiting for meβ" Zijun hurriedly regained his thoughts and handed his wallet to Xiao Ping.
"Leave a phone call, when we get married, you can also come to have a show." Xiao Ping took the money, and said happily.
Originally, he didn't want to give it, but Zijun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he couldn't lose the battle, so he reported a series of phone numbers to her, and then said, "Can I go?"
