CHAPTER XVI

Usually has heavy study tasks and a lot of homework, Su Nianzhen has to squeeze out time to help Lin Muzi tutor her homework, so she doesn't have much leisure time. Su Nianzhen set the time for dinner at five o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday, and after tutoring Lin Muzi for three hours, before the evening self-study class, the time was not too relaxed, but it was not too rushed, which was in line with Su Nianzhen's strategy of quick decision. If things go well, maybe she'll be able to go back to the rental room and wash the clothes she's saved up for a few days.

When Su Nianzhen arrived at the small restaurant she had made an appointment, Dong Cheng was already waiting. She was a little embarrassed, apologized again and again, her tone was polite and rusty, but she was not as shy and buddy as Dong Cheng expected.

In terms of the relationship between men and women, compared with Su Nianzhen, who is dedicated to studying, Dong Chengzi can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles. He originally thought that Su Nianzhen's previous shirk was the little girl's reserve, and he didn't say anything about him on his face, but he didn't necessarily have no feelings for him in his heart. When he received the invitation yesterday, he was surprised at the same time, but also a kind of pride. Unexpectedly, things didn't seem to be as he imagined.

"I invite you today, first, to thank you. Second, I also want to make it clear to you face to face. Su Nianzhen was dealing with such a thing for the first time, and she was inevitably a little nervous, and her palms were sweaty. But for the sake of purity in the future, she still wants to make things clear as soon as possible, so as to save more and more trouble in the future, the head teacher, Mr. Qi, has already talked to her once, and she doesn't want to go into the office again because of this. "I'm fifteen years old this year, you should have heard about the situation in my family, I am an orphan without a father and mother, and there is basically no other good way out except to study hard and get admitted to university. So now I just want to concentrate on my studies and not think about anything else. Thank you for your appreciation, but I hope you don't do any more useless work in the future, okay? ”

"You really don't feel anything about me?" Probably didn't expect that he would be rejected so unsparingly, Dong Cheng, who has always been chased by girls, was a little frustrated with his self-esteem, and asked in disbelief.

“…… I'm sorry. Su Nianzhen looked at the devastated teenager, but she didn't feel guilty in her heart. In her opinion, love at first sight is simply an excuse, just a way to pick up a conversation. How can you have feelings after only one meeting? And the boy who appeared out of nowhere in front of him just felt that she was a little special to play, and she loved vigorously to die and live, which has always been imagined by novel writers and screenwriters, and it is impossible to appear in real life.

This Dong Cheng still has some demeanor, although his face is not very good, he did not shake his hand and leave in anger. Waiting for the food to come up, Dong Cheng's mood had almost adjusted, the two chatted and ate without being salty or light, and it was not yet six o'clock when they parted after eating, Su Nianzhen saw that the time was still early, and walked towards the rental house.

"Zhenzhen, you're back, where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

Su Nianzhen was a little surprised to see Su Lingling, who she hadn't seen for a long time, opened the door and invited her in, and asked with a puzzled face, "Is there anything wrong with me?" ”

"I came the day before school started, and you weren't there, so I asked your neighbor to help me carry a message, but she didn't tell you." Su Lingling said with anger in her words, she thought that after Su Nianzhen heard the message, she would definitely go to her immediately. Unexpectedly, she had been waiting for half a month, and she hadn't seen Su Nianzhen's figure yet, so she had to find it herself.

"By the way, I've been busy lately, so I forgot."

Su Nianzhen's face was calm, and she was not as excited and eager as she expected, Su Lingling couldn't help but be disappointed in her heart, and secretly scolded Su Nianzhen for being cold-blooded, she was living a good life, and she didn't even care about her mother, who was dependent on her life. "Your mom has news......"

"Who did you listen to?" Su Nianzhen interrupted Su Lingling with an impatient face, she was already relieved of her mother's departure, but she still didn't want to mention it to irrelevant people.

“…… That's what everyone in the village said. Su Lingling was slightly stunned, it was the first time she saw Su Nianzhen lose her temper.

"I know better than anyone that my mother is no longer in this world, I don't know who is spreading this rumor, and I won't believe it for what purpose this rumor is! If there are such rumors in the future, you don't have to come to tell me. ”

"But I only found a rag in the mountains, and I didn't see your mother's body, maybe the rumors are true......"

"Do you know that mother and daughter are connected? She's still away, and no one knows it better than me. Su Nianzhen knew that her mother's sudden disappearance would cause her a lot of trouble, but she really didn't want to see her mother buried in this painful world, and she didn't want those who looked down on their mother and daughter from the bottom of their hearts to help bury her mother with a sympathetic look of pity that made her uncomfortable. So she would rather choose such a troublesome way, but also let her mother go clean.

“…… Well, I thought you'd be wondering. ”

"Thank you, but you don't have to tell me if there is any news like this in the future."

Su Lingling didn't stay long and left quickly. After Su Lingling left, Su Nianzhen locked the door, closed the curtains and entered the space. Her mood at this time was very conflicted and complicated, and she couldn't tell if Su Lingling was really good at telling her the news, or if she had other purposes. She felt tired, suddenly bored with everything, and thought it would be better to stay in the space for the rest of her life. There is food and drink here, the scenery is good, and there are no various emotional entanglements and complicated trivialities that have caused her headaches and troubles.

After blowing the sea breeze for a while, she lazily lay on the reef by the sea for a while, and let go of her thoughts in the gorgeous sea, as if all her troubles had disappeared with the wind, Su Nianzhen was full of vitality and resurrected with full blood again. This is a new skill she has recently discovered, and in the face of the mysterious and mysterious sea, people will always sigh at their own insignificance, and those troubles are not worth mentioning. This has become Su Nianzhen's gas station, and whenever she feels tired and troubled, she comes over to blow the sea breeze.

Probably Su Nianzhen's words worked, and Dong Cheng didn't bother anymore after that. Su Nianzhen was greatly relieved because of this, but the few greedy classmates who were waiting to be fed were disappointed. Su Nianzhen was not used to them either, and warned them half-truthfully. Although she knew that several of her classmates were joking and teasing, and they didn't really want to eat that little, but in fact they did cause her trouble.

Su Nianzhen's life is on the right track again, studying every day and tutoring Lin Muzi with homework, and her time is full until the long-prepared high school entrance examination quietly arrives.
