Chapter 19: Barbecue
The squad leader has strong work ability and organizational skills, and when he says he gathers, he has gathered more than 20 people when he goes out.
Having just been physically and mentally tortured, there was such a party, and everyone was like a bird out of a cage, excited and excited, and chattering non-stop.
Someone proposed: "Go to Aunt Li's house to eat?" What do you think? β
"Good ......"
"Aunt Li's family has a lot of portions and atmosphere."
β¦β¦
Everyone, you and I quickly decided to go to Aunt Li's house to eat.
Hearing everyone's words, Li Mengshi seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated for a long time and still didn't open his mouth.
Seeing Ye Zi's somewhat confused appearance, the squad leader lowered his head and whispered to her, "Aunt Li, it's Li Mengshi's mother." To be honest, the taste of his barbecue is actually not very good, and if you eat something that is not delicious, you can change it to a string, don't say it, Li Mengshi is very sensitive. β
For a moment, Ye Zi felt that a group of noisy half-adults had become more cute, kind, considerate and energetic.
"Ye Zi, isn't Cheng Zhen really coming?" Gu Zhao asked.
Ye Zi shook his head, "He has to work tonight, so he doesn't have time to play with us." β
Hearing Ye Zi's answer, some people were obviously relieved, and some people were a little disappointed.
Tonight's moonlight is very cold, hitting the ground and intertwining with the complicated lights and shadows, there is a hint of the smell of fireworks in the world.
After walking 100 meters to the left of the school gate, I turned into a deep path, and when I walked to the end, I saw Li Mengshi's barbecue stall.
A small room, with a simple shed in the open space, and no guests, it was deserted and lonely, but soon everyone's voices filled the place, and the place became alive.
Xu heard the noise, and a woman came out of the hut, looking forty or fifty years old, with a very kind face, and greeted everyone: "Children, here, sit down quickly, Auntie will prepare food for you."
Li Mengshi put down his schoolbag and said to everyone, "I'll help my mother." β
The squad leader asked him, "Would you like to go and help together?" β
Li Mengshi hurriedly waved his hand and whispered: "No, no, you guys play first, and it will be fine soon."
Li Mengshi has strong self-esteem, he said this, and everyone no longer insisted on it, so he asked for a bottle to come over and play truth or dare.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, it is the time to be ready to move, and playing games is just to tell the truth through games, and to show a little bit of shyness through games.
"Turn, turn, turn......" Someone coaxed.
The squad leader calmly turned the bottle, and the bottle circled around the table a few times, and the mouth of the bottle finally pointed to the leaf.
Hongmei, the girl sitting beside Ye Zi, asked with some curiosity: "Ye Zi, they said that you are going to marry in the future?" I've only seen such episodes in novels and on TV, and I'm just curious. β
Ye Zi was drinking water with a water cup, and when she asked this, a mouthful of water was choked out, and it took a long time to cough to ease up.
Ye Zi couldn't cry or laugh, waved his hand and said, "I said, do you believe that my family has the throne to inherit?"
"I don't believe it, we died early in the morning, and we are a socialist country."
Ye Zi smiled: "This is amazing, it's all nonsense, our family supports freedom of marriage and love."
Hearing the answer, Hongmei was a little disappointed, but quickly reined in her emotions and began to turn the bottle.
The bottle turned around a few times, and it stopped in front of Meng Ling, this time the person beside him was a girl who was extremely gossipy.
The girl blushed and said loudly, "Meng Ling, is the person you like here?"
"Alas, what is the problem, the person Meng Ling likes is not here, Gu Mengmeng, everyone knows that this problem doesn't count." Someone shouted.
The girl didn't care so much, and replied: "My problem, I'm in charge, I just want to know this."
"Not there." Meng Ling said calmly.
Hearing the answer, the girl's mood was obviously lost, and tears seemed to flash in her eyes.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the table was a little delicate, and the squad leader said at the right time: "Hurry up, next round."
The bottle is spinning in circles, and Ye Zi's thoughts are slowly drifting away, tonight Gu Mengmeng is not there, and Cheng Zhen is not there.
Ye Zi inexplicably linked them together, and she was a little unhappy, until the mouth of the bottle was aimed at her, she still looked absent-minded.
"Yezi, what's the matter, Hongmei is asking you a question?" The squad leader reminded her.
"What?" Ye Zi asked a little confused.
"Hongmei, do you have anyone you like?"
In an instant, the figure of Cheng Zhen appeared in Ye Zi's mind, smiling, indifferent, and lost...... In short, it is Cheng Zhen. She smiled and said, "Yes, who doesn't have a favorite at this age......"
Someone added: "It's Cheng Zhen, right?"
Ye Zi smiled, did not deny it, nor affirmed, but replied: "This is another question, I won't answer."
Thinking of Cheng Zhen, Ye Zi's thoughts drifted further, she took out her mobile phone to look at the message sent to Cheng Zhen, but she still didn't reply, and she was inexplicably a little lost.
A few rounds of bottles turned down, the atmosphere was high, and the skewers were good at the right time, "Come on, come on, the children have eaten." Aunt Li greeted them warmly.
Ye Zi took a bunch of potatoes to eat, and the taste was really not good, but in such an atmosphere, everything you eat is fragrant, a large plate of grilled skewers, you skewer and I skewer, and soon saw the bottom.
After eating, Li Mengshi brought two more plates, and then sat at the table a little shyly and ate with his classmates.
Ye Zi looked at Meng Ling and then at Li Mengshi, thinking of what they both liked Gu Mengmeng in common, and inexplicably thought of Cheng Zhen, would Cheng Zhen also like Gu Mengmeng?
Unfounded suspicion, but because he cared too much, he was carefully magnified, and the more Ye Zi thought about it, the more upset he became, and when he saw that Cheng Zhen still didn't reply to the message, he became more and more irritable.
Gu Zhao saw that she was not in a high mood and asked her, "Yezi, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Zi smiled: "It's okay, the materials I used for the cram school in the evening have fallen into the classroom, I have to go first."
Everyone knew how precious the cram school she went to was in Jianghe, and they didn't dare to keep her anymore, so they all instructed: "Yezi, be careful on the road."
"Shall I send you?" Gu Zhao said.
Thinking that the two were fighting in the classroom not long ago, and the relationship suddenly became so good, everyone couldn't help but be a little curious and pondered the relationship between the two.
At this time, Ye Zi didn't care about their thinking, only smiled and said, "No, there will be a lot of people here, it's very safe."
The leaves walked down the long alley, and the moonlight stretched her shadow long, making her look a little lonely.
She walked into the campus and crossed a path to the classroom to get materials, but saw two figures on the path.
It was Cheng Zhen and Gu Mengmeng, they were walking in front, Cheng Zhen was supporting Gu Mengmeng, and most of Gu Mengmeng's body was leaning on Cheng Zhen's arms, and Cheng Zhen didn't seem to have the slightest sign of disgust.
Ye Zi's heart became heavy, and she felt pain all at once, she wanted to rush up and ask Cheng Zhen what was going on? Ask him why he didn't reply to his message? But she was afraid, afraid that the answer was not what she wanted, so she stayed where she was.
Ye Zi thought he was such a coward.
Ye Zi withdrew from the path in a distracted manner, slowly walked from the avenue to the classroom, took out the materials with trembling hands, and stuffed them into his schoolbag.
Ye Zi didn't give up, took out her mobile phone and glanced at it, Cheng Zhen still didn't reply to her message, and the last one she sent "Cheng Zhen, are you going to cram school tonight?" "It's kind of ridiculous.
This night, Cheng Zhen didn't come to cram school in the end, and Ye Zi couldn't listen to the class for the first time, she stayed up until the end of class, and when she got home, she saw Cheng Zhen replying to him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see the news."
"Did you get home from cram school?"
Ye Zi looked at these two messages and thought a lot, picked up the phone and put it down, she wanted him to try the anxiety of waiting for the news.
But soon, Ye Zi realized that his thoughts were very naΓ―ve, and such things as anxiety were emotions that only the more concerned party would have.
Ye Zi typed and deleted it again and again, and he didn't reply to the past message after a long time.
Cheng Zhen seemed to be in a hurry to wait, and sent a few "???? βγ
Ye Zi didn't know what his psychology was, and sent a message that crossed the line, "Cheng Zhen, what are you doing tonight?" β
"Well, business."
Ye Zi looked at the news from Cheng Zhen back, his heart was half cold, and he hurriedly sent a "hmm", then turned off his phone and started to write his homework.
Ye Zi controlled herself and tried not to think about Cheng Zhen and Gu Mengmeng, but she couldn't do it, and she only did two math problems assigned by the river for a few hours.
Ye Zi let out a long sigh of resignation and climbed into bed to sleep, but he didn't sleep well this night, and he was telling her in his dream that he liked Gu Mengmeng's Cheng Zhen.
