01. On the eve of departure

My name is Hu Lezheng, I just turned 18 years old this year, and I am a student dog who has just finished a miserable college entrance examination career and is about to enter college.

Many people will mispronounce my name for the first time if they don't listen to me, so from junior high school onwards, every time I introduce myself, I tend to take a little more time to explain it clearly.

My name is Hu Lezheng, most people will pronounce it as hu, le, zheng, I want to defend myself, who will call me wrong in the future, who I am anxious with.

My surname is Hu, and I don't know which generation of ancestors I got this surname from, because this surname is generally only available to the Hui people, but I am Han.

When everyone pronounces this surname, they will see it as the tiger of the tiger, and the pronunciation is pronounced as hu, in fact, the correct pronunciation of this surname should be mao, well, that's right, it's a cat, so my nickname is called kitten.

Okay, the surname is explained clearly, now I'm going to talk about my name, Lezheng.

Le Zheng is actually a surname, but this is my mother's surname, and I don't know if my parents were too lazy to come up with a good name, so they used their surnames to piece together and use it as my name.

Generally, friends who like station B will come into contact with Luo Tianyi, Le Zhengya and other virtual singers, my pronunciation of the two words Le Zheng is the same as that of Le Zhengya, pronounced as yue, zheng, so, the correct pronunciation of my name should be 'mao, yue, zheng'.

Even if the explanation is so clear, some people will make fun of my name, and I won't mention the previous ones, after all, the past is unbearable.

Let's just talk about it recently, since last year, some people have called me like this: Caiyue Pleiades.

Well, that's right, it's the protagonist in "Re: Life in a Different World Starting from Zero" at station B next door, who carries a plastic bag at any time, calls a cat his father-in-law, and wanders around the apple stall all day long.

If someone doesn't understand why they call me that, then pronounce my name Hu Lezheng upside down according to the correct pronunciation, and just change the word 'zheng' to 'dish' and you will understand.

If you have to read it as a happy tiger, then I can't help it, right?

Of course, from today onwards, no one will ever call me that again, because I graduated!

I'm finally not a bitter high school dog, and I've finally gotten rid of the fear of being dominated by the college entrance examination!

Next, I am no longer faced with a sea of books, no longer an unfinished topic, no longer the 'XX days before the college entrance examination' reminder, but a carefree, free and chic holiday.

My arrangements for this holiday are such that I plan to sleep at home for a few days first, then pack my bags and travel abroad with the permission of my parents.

It is difficult to find a country, so naturally I have to pick a place that is a little farther away, and the small countries around the national border are not within the scope of my consideration, so I set my goal in Europe.

After my desperate coquettishness, my parents agreed to let me travel abroad alone, of course, the reason is not what I told them, I have grown up, I need to be independent, I don't need them to care about me or anything like that, in fact, I didn't plan to travel abroad alone in the first place, I want to take my crush with me, go out together.

If I want my parents to know that I am going to take a girl to travel abroad, they have to be skinned off by them, after all, I only have one skin.

Although at the end of the college entrance examination, my mother once pulled me to her side, stared at me with that complaining eye, and said something like this to me in a serious tone:

"Kitten, let me tell you, you've graduated from high school now, and you're already an adult, aren't you? You're an adult, and you'll be in your twenties in a few years, and it's time to find a daughter-in-law. If you have a girl you like, be sure to tell me, I'll help you check it, and by the way, help you go to set up a trap for other girls......"

Even if she told me so, I suddenly remembered that when I was still in junior high school, because I was a little close to a girl, I accidentally took the hand of a girl when I got out of school, and I was caught by my mother on the road, and I was almost broken when I returned home.

I'm afraid that this time it was not only my hand that was broken, but also my leg.

Let's not talk about these things first, after all, although my parents agreed to travel abroad, and I bought my plane ticket, I still have to talk to the girl.

Well, I don't know if she still remembers it.

Her name is Huang Yiyi, a very quiet girl, with good academic performance and beautiful appearance, after all, in a place like high school, where cosmetics are not very popular, it is very rare for a girl to look beautiful without makeup, and she is also the class flower of our class.

Half a year ago, I hadn't entered the university or society for training, my face was so thin, I originally wanted to confess to her, but when the words came to my mouth, I couldn't say anything.

Yes, I was cowardly, stammering, and I didn't say a word in the confession love poem I had prepared, and I held it for a long time, it seemed that she was a little impatient, but I just didn't have the courage to say what I thought.

In the end, I could only change my words in a hurry, change my compromise, and tell her that when the college entrance examination is over, we will travel abroad together.

She agreed, though with a strange expression, and when you think about it, it seems like she was just trying to pluck me.

I guess I thought too much, because she finally agreed, and I have remembered this agreement to this day.

I searched through the address book of my mobile phone for a long time, and finally found Huang Yiyi's phone number, but my finger stopped on the dial key, hovering for a long time, but I didn't have the courage to press it.

I don't know if when everyone was young, everyone behaved like this in the face of the person they liked, even making a phone call and saying a word, they were walking on thin ice, at least I was.

But it was not a problem to drag it out like this, and after hesitation, I still pressed the dial button.

However, no one answered.

I hit again, but no one answered.

The third time, it hung up directly.

Weird? Could it be that I misremembered my phone number?

I've checked it a few more times, right? Could it be that she didn't remember my number? Treat me like a stranger?

But even if it's a stranger, she should answer it after several phone calls in a row.

I didn't believe in evil, so I dialed the phone again, but this time, I only heard a mechanical voice from my phone:

I'm sorry, you've been blocked...... No, the number you dialed is empty, please check before dialing......

My face is slightly gloomy, blacked out? What do you mean, this is, am I the kind of person who makes harassing phone calls?

I called it a few more times, but it still prompted an empty number.

Since the phone can't get through...... After much thought, I decided to call a landline.

In the address book that my classmates forwarded to each other before, I remember that there was a landline column.

I flipped through the stack of contacts and found Huang Yiyi's page, but fortunately, she left her landline contact information.

I dialed the phone, and after more than ten seconds, the other party finally answered.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Listening to the soft voice on the other end of the phone, I knew that it was Huang Yiyi who answered the call.

So I said: "Huang Yiyi, I am Hu Lezheng in the same class as you, do you remember the agreement between the two of us half a year ago?" We said okay, when the college entrance examination is over, we will travel abroad together, remember? ”

After speaking, I quieted down and waited for the other person to reply.

But what I didn't expect was that there was silence on the other end of the phone.

Just when I couldn't stand the long silence and was about to open my mouth to break it, at this time, I only heard Huang Yiyi's voice on the other end of the phone, and she finally replied:

"Huh? What the? You're louder, I didn't hear you, I'm on the highway right now, and the signal isn't good......"

Huang Yiyi finished saying these words in one go, and then, there was only a continuous dripping sound on the mobile phone, and there was a busy sound.

At this time, I suddenly remembered an animal, and for a moment I was fascinated.

This animal is native to South America and is scientifically known as alpaca, but in our country, this animal has a more widespread name than its scientific name...... At this point, I was thinking of this title, what is it called? Come to think of it......

Are you holding the landline on the high speed?
