Chapter 164: Memories (6)

Inexplicably, in the dark, Zhou Junlan felt very free and comfortable.

"Lan Lan." A strong male voice came from outside the door, and he looked at his watch impatiently, at this point in time, the charity party had already begun, and he was still dragged by his own daughter inside the door.

He put his ear to the door, but it was still silent, and he didn't get a response, and after much deliberation, he decided to dismiss the idea of taking his daughter to the ball. He looked at the servant downstairs and beckoned, and for a moment he could not remember the name of the old woman in front of him, and then he remembered that he had never thought of remembering it, but it seemed to him as insignificant as a drop of ink in the ocean.

"Sir, you say." The servant bowed deeply to him.

He stretched out his fingers and waved them in the air: "Persuade her at the door, you must let her eat dinner, no matter what method you use, you have to let my daughter fill her stomach, I hope that when I come back, there will be less food on the table." As soon as he turned around, he turned back uneasily: "It may be a little difficult to persuade, but you have to do it." He tugged at his bow tie by the collar and asked, "How do I look?" ā€

"Very dignified, sir." The servant smiled and nodded.

The servant watched him go out, and after the roar of the engine outside the house was heard into the distance, the servant hurriedly ran back, and changed her previous seriousness, she turned off the lights in the house as much as possible, and the darkness was released, enveloping the mansion, which seemed cool, except for the two flickering candles on the dining table to exude warmth. She deliberately stepped on the stairs heavily, and the sound of knocking on Zhou Junlan's door was very loud, as if she was knocking on a leather drum. "Miss, the master is gone!"

There was a sound of soo from inside the door, and then she heard the chains behind the door be opened.

"Did you turn off the lights? Aunt Zhang. ā€

"Off, off, only there are candles on the table, come out Miss."

Although it was already very dark inside the house, when Zhou Junlan showed her head, Aunt Zhang saw that the inside was even darker than the outside, she seemed to have covered everything with a light source with a cloth, and the black curtains were closed, and there was no moonlight.

Zhou Junlan's little head was looking back and forth, inspecting the room.

"Master is really leaving, let's go downstairs to eat, Miss, borscht is ready." Aunt Zhang's smile was full of kindness, so that Zhou Junlan couldn't help but look at it twice.

At the dining table, Zhou Junlan looked at the table full of food, and she was so hungry that she couldn't start, as if the order of eating would affect her dining experience, she hovered between eating a bite of rice first and taking a sip of soup first.

Aunt Zhang sat opposite Zhou Junlan and looked at her with a smile: "Miss, can Aunt Zhang ask you a question?" ā€

"Well, Aunt Zhang, you ask." Zhou Junlan still chose to drink soup first.

As if the next words would hurt her, Aunt Zhang lowered her body as much as possible: "It's been shelved for almost two years, you...... Can you tell Aunt Zhang, why don't you want to go to school? ā€

Zhou Junlan was stunned and looked at her blankly.

Aunt Zhang panicked and hurriedly added, "I—I mean...... Miss, you're about to go to junior high school, you're going to make a lot of friends at school, and you're always trying new things, aren't you? Her voice was as gentle as possible: "Can you tell Aunt Zhang, why?" ā€

In the dim light, Aunt Zhang saw the corners of Zhou Junlan's mouth skimming downward.

"I'm just, more hurt and scared." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's foot.

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Aunt Zhang served her another bowl of soup: "Aunt Zhang assures Miss that you will definitely make many good friends when you arrive at school." ā€

"Will they like me?"

"Yes!" Aunt Zhang stood up firmly: "Our young lady is as cute as a little white rabbit, if you don't like it, they are all bad guys, and we don't bother to be friends with bad guys, Ang." ā€

Zhou Junlan put down the chopsticks that were brought to her mouth, pondered for a while, and said: "Aunt Zhang, I, I don't even believe in my father, but I believe in you, so I listen to you, and I will go to school." ā€

Aunt Zhang heard this, half of her heart was gratified, half of her heart was heartbreaking, she and this little girl have been together day and night for five years, the traces of her growth, bit by bit, engraved in her mind, full of love overflowing, turned into a meal on the table. With a sad face, she decided not to talk to her about her resignation for the time being, she hid in the dark and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Early the next morning, Zhou Junlan began to regret it from the moment she stepped out of the house, but in order to keep her promise, she chose to get in the car, but she brought a black mask.

The self-introduction session made Zhou Junlan suffer a lot of ridicule, and within a minute on the stage, she nervously only said her name, which was only heard by a few boys in the first row. She listened keenly to the people below her who were talking about her being a stammer, and the back row of the classroom guessing that she was mute.

In the first class, she was jumped up by the teacher of good things to answer the question, and she pulled down the class for half the semester, and she couldn't answer at all, so she was punished and stood until the bell rang.

The next second the bell rang for the end of class, Zhou Junlan rushed out with a mask.

She searched the campus for a long time with red eyes, trying to find a secluded place to stay for a while, but due to physical exhaustion, she could only gasp for breath after only a few steps.

Zhou Junlan found an alley behind the school commissary, she walked in silently, and found that it was a little deep, and there was a corner, and she stepped very lightly, because she was not sure if there was anyone in the innermost.

Slowly poking her head around the corner, she could no longer take her eyes off the scene inside.

The warm golden sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves of the mulberry tree, and the light fell like a chess grid on a bespectacled boy crouching on the ground, and in front of him a wounded sparrow was watching him warily and screaming, and his voice was desolate.

The boy's outstretched hand was as slow as if he had clicked the slow-motion button, which was extremely gentle. Gradually, the sparrow relaxed his vigilance, and even leaned his head forward slightly, and touched the boy's slender hand, a smile appeared on his face, and after stroking the sparrow's body a few times, he pulled out a first-aid kit from his bag, which contained various medical supplies.

He used a cotton swab to spot alcohol on the sparrow's injured leg, and with his other hand he kept soothing it, he gently cut the gauze into small pieces, because the sparrow's leg was too thin, he tied it many times, and there were beads of sweat on his head, and the "wounded" on the ground seemed to know that he had no malice, and lay comfortably on the ground at his mercy.

Like a beautiful scene, Zhou Junlan had a strong curiosity and affection for this boy, his white and delicate hands, he wanted to shake them, and his heart was tickling. After that, she pondered and checked it repeatedly before she determined it, and this feeling is called love at first sight. She knew that peeking was a bad behavior, but the throbbing feeling in her heart convinced her to continue watching the boy's actions below.

After the fifth operation, the boy finally wrapped the gauze, he picked up the bird with both hands, put it in his coat and hat, and climbed towards the crooked mulberry tree, only then did Zhou Junlan notice that there was a bird's nest on the tree. The boy's thin body slowly walked towards the sun, as if he was the sun, warming everything in the world.

Under the sun, the boy gently put the bird back into the nest and smiled happily, his warm and rosy lips, Zhou Junlan in the corner guessed that it was candy.

Startled by her own thoughts, she accidentally stepped on a branch, and she didn't know if the boys had noticed, so she ran frantically towards the class......

Aunt Zhang was anxiously pacing at the door, it was clear that it was past school time early in the morning, but the car that went to pick up the young lady still didn't drive back, and she had no other way but to rub her hands and wait.

Before the night was about to engulf the sky, two lights flashed out from a distance, and they came to a slow stop.

Aunt Zhang hurriedly ran over, and Zhou Junlan, who rushed out of the car door, suddenly hugged Aunt Zhang's waist, and Aunt Zhang touched her head: "Have you had a good time today, at school?" ā€

"Aunt Zhang!" Zhou Junlan raised her head, Aunt Zhang was pleasantly surprised to see the joy on her face, and Zhou Junlan continued: "I like, like a boy, I went to the office after school to ask various teachers, and I know his name!" Zhou Junlan's eyes flashed: "He, his name is Ke Yuhan!" I like him, love at first sight! ā€
