CHAPTER XIV

After the eldest aunt left, Qin Zhen returned to his state of being a rough man.

First of all, I took advantage of the day after the sick leave to go into the mall with my best friend Bai Lu, shopped hard, and then sat on the snack street and ate one by one.

Bai Lu works as an accountant in a bank, with a good salary, and especially despises Qin Zhen for buying clothes at a discount, and only comes to the snack street to eat, and does not go to high-end restaurants at all.

Seeing Qin Zhen happily carrying the pile of loot, Bai Lu couldn't help but sneer at her: "Okay, you, the sum of three bags of things is not as expensive as my silk scarf, I said when will you stop this masochistic behavior?"

Qin Zhen glared, "What is self-abuse? I call it diligence and thrift, and practice thrift." Don't look at your silk scarf so expensive, have you asked people if they are willing to wear it around your neck?"

This sound familiar, Qin Zhen thought about it, and then realized that he used Cheng Luyang's sentence "Have you asked my ass if you agree or not".

Bai Lu looked like he couldn't take off the silk scarf and strangle her, and poked her shoulder with hatred, "You're done with you, you want to save money for your family of three all day long, and the clothes are not much better than beggars! You say you're like this, which man can look up to you? Where is the delicate Qin Zhen in the past? At that time, you still had the courage to chase after a character like Meng Tang, and now you have the face to chase after the security uncle downstairs, I admire your courage!"

Qin Zhen's face darkened, "Did you do it on purpose?"

"What did I do on purpose?"

"You deliberately mentioned him!"

"Who is he?" Bai Lu pretended to be confused.

"Do you believe that I am fighting with you?" Qin Zhen stuffed the finger cake in his hand into her mouth.

"Damn, saliva! Your saliva is still on it! What are you trying to poison me for?" Bai Lu grabbed her hand quickly, looking wronged, "Eldest sister, have you found the right focus? Is my focus on Meng Tang? I obviously want to remind you that with your current level, you are suitable for forming a team with your security uncle to start a family and a business, but as a result, you are always nostalgic for people and never forget to die in love, who do you blame?"

Qin Zhen was furious, picked up the big bag and got up and left. Bai Lu saw that she was in a hurry, so she had to throw down the money and get up to chase after her.

"Qin Zhen!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Hey, don't bring this! So many years of friendship have been ruined in Meng Tang's name? What's wrong with mentioning it? Okay, okay, it's a big deal not to mention him in the future, right? I won't talk about Meng Tang, I really won't say it!" Bai Lu went to pull her arm.

"Besides, I hate you for the rest of my life!" Qin Zhen glared at her fiercely.

Bai Lu didn't know about her taboos, and she used to deliberately avoid mentioning the word Meng Tang in front of her, God knows which nerve is wrong today, so she has to stimulate her.

Flatteringly brought the big bag and small bag for her, Bai Lu sighed as she walked, "I didn't say you, it's been so many years, you should have forgotten him to the corner of forgetfulness, why are you still thinking about it? It's a wound and it should be scarred——"

"You still say!" Qin Zhen murdered her, "Also, is the Cape of Good Hope the one who forgot?"

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it! You are worthy of being the representative of our great Chinese class, and you were the most educated person in our class at the beginning!" Bai Lu coaxed her, but she couldn't help but be secretly anxious in her heart, and only after a while did she pretend to mention it casually, "I saw the class leader on QQ a few days ago saying that he was going to hold a class reunion, you should be mentally prepared!"

"Don't go. Qin Zhen simply refused.

"Come on, why don't you go? Teacher Li handpicked your name, who called you the representative of her heart and soul baby Chinese class?"

At the mention of Teacher Li, Qin Zhen softened again. The gentle and kind homeroom teacher was as good as her own mother throughout high school after knowing her family conditions. She had hypoglycemia when she was young, and during the college entrance examination, Mr. Li also asked her to go to the office every day to eat eggs to supplement her nutrition.

The teacher in the office also jokingly called her Teacher Li's youngest daughter.

Now that Teacher Li wants to see her, will she go or not?

Qin Zhen was speechless for a while, and only said in a low voice for a long time: "I know what you are worried about." ”

Why did you mention Meng Tang for no reason? One bite at a time, the frequency is higher than the high-frequency vocabulary of the fourth level at the beginning, don't you want her to overcome this problem, and make her less embarrassed during the class reunion?

Bai Lu saw that she was depressed from a lively appearance again, and couldn't help but poke heavily at her head, "Qin Zhen, do you know what I hate you most when I know you for so many years? You never remember when you borrowed my money to eat my rice and rub my milk tea with my boiling water, but you even remember clearly which clothes that person wore on which day, how many steps he had to walk when he went to the podium, and how many times he had to go to the toilet in the morning, why did you say you were so brainless?" I can't remember what I should remember, I can't forget the slightest bit I should forget, I really want to open your brain and see how long your brain circuit is!"

Qin Zhen replied to her in a spirit: "A heartless person like you can't understand a good girl like me!"

Bai Lu really wanted to push her to the middle of the road to eliminate harm for the people-

On Monday, Qin Zhen first went back to the company to report, and then went to Cheng Luyang with the black coat that had slipped around the dry cleaners.

Liu Pearl was pouring water in the pantry, and when she came out, she happened to see her walking into the elevator with a paper bag in her hand, and pointed with a cup: "What is it?"

"Director Cheng's clothes. Qin Zhen said honestly.

Liu Pearl squirted out a sip of tea, "Okay, you, you're out!" When did you learn to give gifts?"

"It's not a gift, it's Director Cheng's clothes, worn!" Qin Zhen emphasized the last three words.

Liu Pearl squinted her eyes and asked suspiciously, "Why are Director Cheng's clothes there?"

"......" Qin Zhen was stuck for a while, and then glanced at his watch quickly, "Ah, it's time, if you don't go to Director Cheng, you're going to curse again!"

After running far away, he could feel Ms. Liu Pearl's hot gaze, and Qin Zhen sighed creepily that his top boss turned out to be a wolf with the skin of a middle-aged and elderly woman-

I took the bus all the way to the downstairs of LaLune, anyway, the city center will be stuck for a long time anyway, and the taxi is not necessarily much faster than the bus.

Qin Zhen sat in his seat in a daze with a paper bag, his eyes fell on the small silver italic English letters on his collar, and he began to wonder boredly whether this was French or German.

She once wanted to choose a foreign language as a major, because she was slippery, what she looked like since elementary school, after the Spring Festival Gala every year, she would be able to imitate the most exciting clips in a short cross talk sketch, which made the whole family laugh.

Qin Zhen's grandmother learned Russian when she was young, so she loved to pull her to show off. She also cooperated very well with a "Ah grandma, you are so good" or "Grandma, I adore you so much", and grandma would poke her head while laughing, and finally said: "My girl should learn foreign languages, and you must listen to grandma when she goes to college in the future, look at your language talent, it must have inherited your grandma!"

It's a pity that she couldn't even cross the threshold of college, so she cried bitterly at home with the admission letter, and then calmly accepted her parents' decision to give up college and give up the opportunity to study to her talented younger brother.

At that time, my grandmother had passed away, and no one would touch her head anymore and praise her with a smile and praise her for her talent for languages. When Bai Lu and other high school classmates happily stepped into the university gate, she had to learn over and over again from the cold eyes of others how to adapt to society, how to let go of the pride of the past, and better integrate herself into the life of a small citizen.

Fortunately, her genius brother lived up to expectations, and won many awards such as the Olympiad and English competitions since elementary school, and even more so in junior high school, winning the first prize in the national physics competition.

So Qin Zhen was relieved, her younger brother was also crying and clamoring to let her go to college, she relied on her old age and gave him the opportunity, God knows how much courage it took her to make this decision.

Fortunately, it's okay that Qin Tian is angry.

The sun was shining at noon, the weather was warm, the people on the bus were drowsy, and Qin Zhen was also thinking about these miscellaneous things with a distraction.

When the bus arrived at a stop on the way, someone got on the bus, and when they walked up to her, they asked her coldly, "Can you move the paper bag?"

"Oh, that's good—" Qin Zhen came back to his senses, quickly picked up the paper bag on the empty seat beside him, and looked up and smiled at the man. Unexpectedly, before the smile reached her eyes, she was stunned suddenly.

It was as if the sunny sky just now suddenly collapsed, and suddenly the sky cracked, and the sun and moon were gone.

The bus is so noisy, and some songs that are not famous but are played in the streets and alleys are so familiar to everyone. But Qin Zhen's ears suddenly stopped at all, there was a buzzing sound, as if someone had taken all the media away, so there was no sound that could reach her ears anymore.

She even grabbed the paper bag containing her clothes, looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, and then slowly spit out two words: "...... Meng Tang?"

Just two words seemed to have spent all her strength, and his name had clearly accompanied her through seven years of youth, even all the way from her innocent princess braids, like an endless song, to the day she learned to skillfully apply makeup to the mirror.

But now, when she said these two words again, her throat was dry and her throat was tight, like a mummy that had been buried deep in the ground for a long time and her whole body had shrunk in flesh, and there was no place to move from hair to toes.

She watched the young man who had appeared in her dreams countless times appear in front of her as a mature man out of thin air, with the same clean and gentle eyes as ever, and his facial features were as handsome as before.

Then she remembered that she had written such sensational words in the locked diary, which was still popular at that time, with a girlish mind: He stood in the transparent light, and his side face was clear and soft by the sun, and I just looked at him like this, and I felt like someone had injected a dose of sunshine into my heart. It was a cold winter morning, and there was still light snow outside, but I felt like there was a little sun in my heart, radiating an incomparable warm light.

The temperament of the liberal arts student is really terrifying, and countless complicated thoughts are like flour in a sieve, which falls on her nerves as soon as they shake, making her dazzled and excited.

And at this moment, Meng Tang was standing in front of her, and a gentle gray knitted sweater actually gave her a dazzling illusion.

It's as if the whole body is glowing.

Her teeth were shaking, and the blood was screaming all the way to her heart.

Plop, plop.

What kind of sudden reunion was this?

And at such a moment, which could be described as short as a moment, but which seemed to her for centuries, she heard the man in front of her say to her in a voice that was clear and warm, even with a slight smile, and said to her in surprise: "You know me?"

The sun was shining outside the window, and everything was too beautiful to be real.

And Qin Zhen sat in place, obviously not afraid of the cold, she felt the bitter cold and harsh winter for the first time.

It is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, like a sudden fall into an ice cellar, like a myocardial infarction, like a thrombotic attack.
