Chapter 2: First Encounter

It was almost twelve o'clock when I got home by taxi.

Zhu Chu rarely plays outside until so late. In addition, today's encounter made her feel physically and mentally exhausted, and she took a shower and lay down in bed. I couldn't sleep for a while without my phone, the lights weren't turned off, and she looked at the ceiling. What came to mind was the scene in the bar, like a marquee flashing through her mind. At first, I thought of the disgusting and scared drunken man, and later Song Jinsi ......

Her head buzzed, she felt her temples throb and hurt, and she closed her eyes trying not to think about it. As a result, the entangled things were put down, but someone's face lingered, becoming clearer and clearer, and it coincided with the face of the person he had met when he was young.

"You know me? What is your name? ”

"Zhu Slow"

Song Jinsi's question, Zhu Slow, only answered half of it.

Acquaintance? How can you not recognize it!

If memories have power, then Song Jinsi is a "leash" for her in the dark days of the past few years. She was trapped in the deep sea, pulling her when she couldn't see hope, although she couldn't be rescued, it didn't let her be suffocated.

Zhu saw Song Jinsi for the first time in his sophomore year of high school, when they played a friendly basketball game with Jiahua Private High School next door.

The competition was held at Jiahua High School, where Song Jinsi was located, because the No. 1 Middle School was stricter than Jiahua, and he was afraid that the competition would affect the students who were about to take the college entrance examination, so it was decided to be held in Jiahua.

On Friday, the original serious atmosphere of No. 1 Middle School also became restless because of the friendly match being held next door, and everyone began to discuss each other in their spare time.

Zhu Slow's class is no exception, and the topic of discussion is also around the basketball club.

"It's a pity, if it can be held in our school, I can see the handsome guys in the Jiahua basketball club," Zhu Slow's tablemate You Keke said to her as he leaned on the table with a bored look

You Keke is a cute girl with a doll's head, and her personality is also lively and funny.

"There are a lot of handsome guys in our school!" Zhu slowly stopped writing practice questions, looked at his tablemates, and said with a smile

"That's incomparable, the handsome guy in the Jiahua basketball club will throw us a few streets away from the school, okay?" You Coco said disgustedly

"Uh... Not so exaggerated! Seeing You Keke's retort vigorously, Zhu Chudu, who had a puffed up baby fat face, couldn't help laughing.

"You haven't seen their captain, that appearance is fresh and handsome, and his temperament is extraordinary, I heard that the way he laughs can make people feel fascinated and his heart ripples.1" You Keke couldn't help but ripple in his heart just thinking about it

Zhu asked with a smile. "You've seen it?"

"Hey... I've only seen posts about him on their school's forums and haven't seen a real person in person," Coco sighed. The style of the first middle school is rigorous, and the homework is piled up every day, and it is impossible for her to have the opportunity to go to Jiahua to see handsome guys

"You can't trust everything on the Internet," Zhu slowly touched Coco's short hair to express comfort, and then continued to do the question.

Zhu Wan's cousin is from the Jiahua basketball club, but he doesn't look as handsome as their first lieutenant colonel, so she doesn't believe what Coco said from what she saw on the Internet.

"Don't question my male god" Coco simply wanted to take Zhu Slow to Jiahua to confirm it, but unfortunately her fellow table members were not as interested in handsome guys as they were to do practice questions.

Coco looked at Zhu Slow, who was sitting by the window and occasionally the wind blew in. Her long hair with a high ponytail was blown loose from her forehead, and she pulled her hair behind her ears with her hands, her skin fair and her fingers were long. Gentle personality, delicate and lovely, polite and kind to people. Even when everyone reached the age of ignorance and longing for their feelings, Zhu Slow was still unmoved, and even got along with the boys in the class a little estranged.

"I have a live broadcast of a basketball game, who wants to watch it", I don't know who in the class is bold enough to show off with a mobile phone.

Then most of the class gathered at the back, and the crowd was crowded. This kind of hot-blooded sports is also a competition of the school's most influential figures, which makes the students full of interest, and both boys and girls gather to discuss it with relish.

"I'll go, that's okay? Slowly, I went to explore the truth and the truth. After Coco finished speaking, he ran over to see if the handsome guy was active.

Zhu slowly shook his head helplessly, unable to understand why Coco was so interested in handsome guys. She doesn't pay much attention to the appearance of boys, and even thinks that handsome boys are not as good as boys with high IQs. But she's not interested in boys right now, and she doesn't have any hopes. This fruitless fantasy is a bit of a waste of time, so let's hurry up and review!

In the end, the students were caught watching the video too high-profile by the teacher, their mobile phones were confiscated, the crowd was disbanded, the bell rang, and most of them listened to the class absentmindedly.

Finally stayed up until the end of school, and everyone began to discuss it in full swing again, and then they couldn't get enough of the separation.

"Slowly, see you next week!" Coco waved at her at the school gate

"Well, see you next week" Zhu also waved his hand, and then walked to the white car parked on the side of the road.

Zhu Slow's family is a well-off family, his parents both work in large enterprises, and his father was promoted some time ago, because her mother basically drove to pick her up because she was busy with work.

"Mom." Zhu sat slowly in the back seat.

Because it is usually her parents who sit in the front row, she is used to drilling into the back row as soon as she gets in the car

"Well, let's pick up Yan Mingyu later, and I'll go to your uncle's house for dinner today," her mother turned to Zhu and said slowly.

"Okay!" Yan Mingyu is Zhu Slow's cousin, and he just finished talking about Jiahua being in his third year of high school next door.

Her mother's name is Yan Zhixin, she looks gentle and intellectual, has a calm and generous personality, and is a very good woman. I have a stable job and take good care of my family. The daughter is sensible and obedient. I met my husband on a blind date, and most of the marriages in their era relied on this way, but they decided to be together because of their love, so the relationship has always been very stable and respectful.

Soon arrived near the gate of Jiahua School, next to the parking of cars, Jiahua is not a famous school in Jiangcheng, people who come to this school to study are either rich or expensive, here do not look at the grades only to see how hard the relationship is, ordinary people can not enter.

"Mingyu, we're here, about two hundred meters to the left of the school gate," Mom and cousin put down the phone after briefly explaining where to wait for him

"Is Brother Mingyu out?" Zhu asked slowly

"It seems that there is a game today, and it should come out after a while"

"Xiao Slow, how are you studying lately?" Mom leaned over to her and asked

"It's okay, the results of the last mock test have improved a bit," Zhu replied

"Well, don't put too much pressure on yourself, just study happily" The mother looked at her daughter with a smile on her face.

Her daughter has always been conscious of her studies, although she and her husband do not attach the most importance to their daughter's academic performance, they only hope that she will grow up happily and healthily, but her daughter's excellent grades also make her very happy.

"Did Dad go to my uncle's house for dinner at night?" I haven't seen my dad for almost half a month, and I miss it a little.

I usually live in school, but when I went home last week, my father came back late from overtime, and Zhu didn't come back before going to bed, and he had already gone to work after getting up.

"Go, he said it wouldn't be so late to work overtime today"

"It's been a long time since I've seen your dad, do you miss him?" Mom looked at Zhu Slow dotingly.

"Hmm..."Zhu Chu grinned a little embarrassedly

Yan Zhixin looked at her daughter's delicate appearance, she looked like her father when she smiled, and she felt very happy when she thought of her husband.

"Mingyu is here" Yan Zhixin saw Yan Mingyu not far away.

"Hmm," Zhu slowly looked out the window.

Her cousin and friend walked in their direction, wearing a white school basketball jersey and carrying a school bag on one shoulder, chatting with a friend who was also wearing a jersey next to them, smiling.

Yan Mingyu's appearance is sunny and handsome, and the friend next to him is a man of the hour, the two of them are talking and laughing, this pleasing scenery has provoked many students who are about to return home on the road to stop and admire.

Zhu was a little short-sighted, and he didn't wear glasses when he wasn't in class, and when they got closer, he couldn't see the boy next to his cousin.

The young man was slender, walking in the sunset, his hair was as shiny as black jade, his eyes were arrogant, but he seemed to be in a good mood, and his Danfeng eyes, which narrowed slightly because of his laughter, made him instantly become... Well, it's a little cute? Like a cat? No, it should be more like the "Pooh" of his uncle's family! Zhu nodded slowly and his heart beat a little faster.

It reminds her of Pooh playing on the lawn in the sun, and the contrast when he does ridiculous things with his cold face.

When Zhu came back to his senses, the boy was gone, and his cousin got in the car. After saying hello, the mother drove intently, listening to the children's laughter.

"Slowly, do you miss your cousin" Yan Mingyu approached Zhu and raised his eyebrows to tease her.

"I don't want to, you smell a lot" Zhu slowly covered his nose and pushed him away.

"Really? I was sweating a little after the game. He picked up the collar and sniffed it. It doesn't smell good to sweat after playing, but men only smell masculine like this!

"This smell is estimated to be disgusted by 'Pooh'" Zhu slowly moved to the side, his eyes were disgusted.

"Oh! I'm sad if you do this," he said, putting his hand to his heart and making a hurt expression. Then the head came back to look pitiful

"......" Zhu Slow was amused by him, and then pretended to be angry and glared at him.

Her nose is quite sensitive to smells, so the slightest smell will be amplified, especially if there is a smell she doesn't like in the room where she sleeps, she won't be able to sleep.

Soon arrived at my uncle's house, and as soon as they arrived at the yard and parked the car and got out of the car, a black shadow rushed towards them, and Zhu Zhu, who was walking in front, didn't have time to react.

"Pooh!" Yan Mingyu stepped forward to stop the big dog that almost knocked down Zhu Slow.

"Woo woo......" The husky, who was restrained by the collar, let out a low roar in his throat to express dissatisfaction.

"To whom? Be honest," he slapped Pooh on the head.

"Woo~" seemed to understand, and the husky really didn't step forward anymore but looked at Zhu Slow with an aggrieved look and whined.

"It's so cute..."Pooh's appearance was too cute, Zhu slowly touched its head and comforted it.

When I entered the house and greeted my uncle and aunt, they were usually concerned about Zhu Slow's study. Then compared the cousin's grades, and the cousin was reprimanded again. said that it would be nice if Yan Mingyu could be as good as Zhu Slow.

Uncle's family is in the building materials business, in recent years, the real estate has become more and more popular, and the business in the building materials market is getting better and better.

Then my mother and they went to dinner, my cousin went to take a bath, and Zhu Slow was doing his homework in the study on the second floor of his uncle's house.

"Tsk. Auntie, they really didn't force you to study? Yan Mingyu took the fruit plate that had just been cut from his aunt and put it on Zhu Wan's table after taking a bath.

After junior high school, he saw his cousin the most, probably either doing homework or reading books.

"I love to learn, and learning makes me happy" These are the words that her tablemate You Keke often teases her, and Zhu slowly raised his head and said to his cousin jokingly

"Don't let my dad hear you, it's time to force me to study again," he said, picking up a grape and eating it, slurring his words.

"It's almost time for the college entrance examination, it's time for you to study hard." Zhu Chu also put down his pen and picked up a piece of dragon fruit to eat.

"I'm not interested in learning at all" ate another grape

"And what are you interested in?" Zhu slowly looked at him and asked

"Racing, playing ball, playing games, anyway, studying makes me tired" He couldn't get excited about studying.

"Played a basketball game today?" Seeing that his cousin didn't want to talk about studying, Zhu Slow changed the topic.

"Well, 35:19 is so cool, the top students in your school are too weak" He was excited about today's game, and by the way, he also mocked their school.

"......" Zhu Slow didn't want to talk for a moment.

"You didn't see it! Our team's work together is seamless. Jinsi's perfect layup in the last game, easily put the basketball into the basket with one hand, and the situation was boiling! It's like standing shoulder to shoulder with my idol! As if feeling the blood on the field again, Yan Mingyu talked endlessly about that game.

"Hmm... It's also your teammates who are with you after school," Zhu touched his ear inadvertently when he asked this question.

"Huh? Did you see that? He's our captain, the one I just said, and now he's my idol," he said to Jin Si proudly and introduced to Zhu Slow.

"Hmm" Zhu Slow didn't answer anymore.

She didn't know the meaning of her question just now, how could she think of the boy, his name was "Jinsi?" "It's the captain of the basketball club, and it's the one in Coco's mouth who makes people laugh and make people's hearts flutter?! It seems that Coco is right, he looks good when he laughs, isn't it because he likes Pooh's contrasting and cute animal that he pays attention to him?

She felt that it was still the lack of homework that made her free to be distracted, so she drove her cousin away and continued to bury herself in her homework.

When I went downstairs, my father came before dinner was ready.

"Daddy!" Zhu slowly trotted to his father Zhu Jiansen, and hugged his father's arm coquettishly.

"Good daughter, she still looks like a child when she's so old" Zhu Jiansen touched his daughter's head lovingly.

"My daughter is still closer to you, she didn't be coquettish when she saw me" Yan Zhixin looked at her husband with disgust, and her husband also looked at her lover with an affectionate face.

"Don't show affection in front of us, it's angry to think of your brother's wood," my aunt came out with the last dish.

"You're calling me?" My uncle put down the newspaper and looked at my aunt

"Mom was praising you just now!" Yan Mingyu, who was sitting on the sofa playing games, heard it clearly and deliberately teased his father.

"Praise me?" Uncle looked confused.

"It's a compliment on you, hurry up and eat!" The aunt didn't bother to explain and glared at her son.

After the meal, they chatted about work, economic trends, family and other topics that Zhu Wan was not interested in, and Zhu Wan went to the yard to feed Pooh.

Pooh eats a lot of food, eats very quickly, but the appearance is not ugly, and after eating, he lies at Zhu Slow's feet,

Huskies, with their own appearance, as long as they don't do sand sculptures, are actually cold dogs.

"I like you so much!" Looking at Pooh, who occasionally looked up lazily at her, and then wagged her tail, she couldn't help but want to rub it. The expression really resembled the boy, she thought.

Zhu Chu rarely shows what she likes in front of people, because her life has been smooth sailing since she was a child, and she does not lack anything materially, which makes her lack the urge to love things.

However, she has always been very fond of small animals and wants to have a pet, but her mother is a bit clean, and her cousin also has Pooh. Her frequent visits to Pooh satisfy her desire to have a pet, so she gave up.

The parents in the house were chatting happily, the cousin was probably playing games again, and Pooh was also drowsy on the grass.

Zhu slowly swinged a small amplitude, looking at the starry sky, she felt very satisfied, and felt that her life was really happy.
