Chapter 21: His Hometown
Guaga was originally Aunt Shen's cat.
Shen Yiru raised a pair of British shorts, and the pair gave birth to three kittens, and Guagua, the most beautiful of them. When Shen Yuanyuan was just admitted to high school, Shen Yiru gave her Guagua as a gift for further education. Time flies, and now Guagua is also a big cat.
When Shen Yuanyuan and Zhou Minggao went on a trip together, Guagua was taken care of at Shen Yiru's house, and on this day, Shen Yuanyuan came to Shen Yiru's house with Guagua and knocked on the door.
"Auntie, I can't support her in the future." Shen Yuan's voice was a little low, "I'm going back to school soon, I can't take her with me when I go to school, otherwise it won't be good for her." Come to think of it, the best thing to do is to give her back to you. β
Guagua looked up at her in Shen Yuan's arms, as if he understood something, and suddenly raised his neck and rubbed her face. Shen Yiru smiled, took the melon, and said to Shen Yuan, "Don't be sad, my aunt's house is not far away, it's good for you to come and play often." And Guagua can be with her parents here with me......" Speaking of this, Shen Yiru thought of something and stopped.
Shen Yuanxuan didn't mind, she smiled and said, "Yes, this is a good thing." β
After returning home, Shen still cried.
These days, she has been dreaming about things that happened in college so often, and she knows that she is too anxious. But what she's been doing lately seems to be all about preparing for leaving her hometown and going back to college, and there's no way she'll be able to get out of it. Sending Guagua away was the last thing, and she did all the work before she left, as if she was arranging the aftermath.
Shen Yuan shook his head, trying to expel such thoughts from his mind.
Just when she was distressed, Zhou Minggao sent a message and asked her what she was doing.
"I just sent Guagua." Shen Yuan said, "I'm in a daze." β
"Didn't you think about me?"
Shen Yuan sighed.
She really misses him these days when Zhou Minggao goes home, but so what, he only comes home once in a long time, should he let him stop accompanying his parents and come back to accompany her? How can there be such a reason. She replied, "Of course I miss you, we can meet when you come back in two weeks." β
"Two weeks is too long. Come to me. Zhou Minggao said, "My parents took my sister out to play, and I was also home alone." When you come, I can take you to live in another house of my family, and I can also take you to meet my friends. He said, "Of course, the main thing is to miss you, to see you." β
Shen Yuanyuan immediately bought a ticket for the next day and rushed to Province J. The house Zhou Minggao said was a school district house close to the school that his family bought when he was in high school, and now it is idle and has not been sold, so they can live there for a while. The day after Shen arrived in Province J, she received a message from a music company that had taken a fancy to a song she had published on the platform and wanted to buy the rights. After she and Zhou Minggao carefully read the contract together, they signed a contract with that company and earned the first pot of gold in her life because of music.
Zhou Minggao's home is located in a small county town in J Province, which is still different from the city where Shen Yuanyuan lives. It's quieter than the big city, more prosperous than the countryside, and you can see the green hills in the distance. Shen Yuan's not good mood a while ago has improved again, and she said that she likes it here.
"Really? Are you willing to marry? β
Shen Yuan was stunned, "You may have to think about it...... My aunt would have been reluctant for me to come so far. β
Zhou Minggao smiled. "Silly or not, I'm joking with you."
"Are you kidding? You're not going to marry me, are you? β
Zhou Minggao smiled even more helplessly, "I mean I don't need you to come here, I will accompany you wherever you want." β
"Real Fake ......"
"It's not credible to say too much now." Zhou Minggao took her hand, "Let time answer." β
In the city where Shen Yuan lives, it is not allowed to ride electric cars and motorcycles on the road, but here you can, you can see people riding electric vehicles everywhere. Zhou Minggao also has his own small electric car, he always rides a bicycle with Shen Yuan to run all over the street, and when he meets an acquaintance, he is asked, "Who is this girl?" He proudly replied, "My girlfriend." "It's a little embarrassing to be generous.
This year's Qixi Festival was August 7th, when they were not in a city, and Zhou Minggao said that he would take Shen Yuan to make up for it. So, they picked a random day to go out on a date. Shen Yuan put on light makeup and wore a cute type of black skirt, but as a result, he fell as soon as he went out. Zhou Minggao couldn't help laughing, seeing that Shen Yuanyuan was about to get angry, he hurriedly apologized and hugged her princess up, which frightened Shen Yuanyuan and struggled quickly, "There are many people watching us next to us!" β
They went to the movies together. The cinema here is special, it looks a bit like a large auditorium on the outside. The screening hall was also different from what Shen had seen in the past - much larger than normal. Zhou Minggao said that this is normal, and several movie theaters on their side are like this.
After watching the movie, they walked together in the square. There was an old grandmother who came over with a puppy, and the puppy kept circling around Shen Yuan, wagging her tail, at first the grandmother was very embarrassed, but later saw that Shen Yuanyuan liked puppies, so she happily talked to her about family life. Helplessly, Shen Yuanxuan couldn't understand her dialect, and Zhou Minggao was still acting as a "translator" next to him. Seeing that Shen Xuan didn't understand, the old grandmother tried to switch to broken Mandarin and asked her where she was from.
"I'm from Province A."
"Oh, I thought it was a southern girl, who spoke softly."
Shen Yuan smiled. "We also have a lot of people there who speak very softly and do things, and arrogance is just the general impression of outsiders."
The old woman nodded and asked their ages again.
Shen said, "I am eighteen years old, and he is twenty-one years old. β
The old woman nodded again and sighed, "It's so good, it's the best time." Cherish it and do what you love best. β
Bidding farewell to the old grandmother, Zhou Minggao and Shen Yuan held hands and walked in the direction of home. As he walked, Zhou Minggao suddenly said, "You close your eyes." β
Shen Yuanyuan immediately thought of what surprise gift he should give. She was a little nervous at the thought of the ugly rabbit she received on Children's Day, but she still obediently closed her eyes. Then, she felt a chill in the middle of her left hand, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that she had a ring on her finger β the one she'd been wanting lately, but had kept it in her cart because it wasn't a necessity.
"How do you know I want this?" She was amazed and delighted.
"I saw that you liked the lottery on Weibo, how about it, I bought it right." Zhou Minggao looked proud, "The finger is not wrong, I have checked, the ring of love must be worn with the middle finger, and the ring finger cannot be worn casually." β
Shen Yuanyuan was amused by his serious appearance, she looked at the ring again, and then took Zhou Minggao's hand again.
Zhou Minggao and his friends in J Province have a dinner party every year in mid-to-late August, and everyone sits together to talk about the current situation. Most of them have graduated this year, and a few more have already found jobs, and obviously, it will be a little difficult to get together again in the future. Shen Yuanyuan knew that they were not friends with wine and meat, and she also knew that this was a very important dinner, so she persuaded Zhou Minggao to go. Zhou Minggao said, "Of course I'm going, but I'm going to take you with me." β
"Huh? That's not good...... It's all your friends, and they should all be boys, I don't know anyone, so I'm afraid of embarrassment. By the way, I don't understand your dialect yet. β
"It's okay, you just sit next to me and eat delicious food, and when you get bored, tell me secretly, and we'll go home."
"You've seen each other once in so long, I'm embarrassed to take you first."
"Then you came all the way to see me, and I was embarrassed to leave you at home alone?" Seeing that Shen was about to refute again, Zhou Minggao said again, "It's okay, they are all very good, and they all want to see you, so there won't be any embarrassment." β
Shen Yuanxuan finally relented. She said, "Alright then, let's go together." β
The next day, Zhou Minggao took Shen Yuanrong to the meeting place.
Tobacco and alcohol are most likely indispensable to a group of boys' parties, and they are no different. But because of Shen Yuanyu, a girl who doesn't seem to be very old, they smoke very restrainedly, for fear of choking her. At first, Shen Yuanyuan couldn't understand their dialect at all, and when they said a word, Zhou Minggao translated a sentence for her, and she gradually found a way, and later she could understand some without a translator. A few friends have been persuading him to drink on the grounds that Zhou Minggao brought his girlfriend two drinks, but Shen Yuanyuan knew that they were joking, so he didn't stop him too seriously. It wasn't until later that Zhou Minggao was really a little drunk, and his friends stopped persuading him.
Zhou Minggao was drunk, leaned over and half leaned on the back of the chair to sleep, and those friends chatted with Shen Yuanyuan, and told her some stupid things about Zhou Minggao before, laughing so much that she couldn't straighten her waist. They also said that Zhou Minggao really liked her, and they had to feed them dog food at every turn, and they poured him wine for revenge, so she didn't take it to heart. She still giggled, indicating that she understood.
After the dinner party was over, one of the friends helped Zhou Minggao back to his residence with Shen Yuanyuan before leaving. Shen Yuanxuan boiled him a kettle of hot waterβfrom her only experience of getting drunk, she knew that she would be thirsty after a hangover. After boiling the water, she heard Zhou Minggao seem to be calling her name.
"What's wrong? Do you call me Teacher Zhou. She deliberately called him that.
Unexpectedly, the drunk Zhou Minggao's kung fu was still not bad, he hugged her, and then said, "Yes, Teacher Shen, I'm drunk and have a headache." β
He was very drunk and didn't feel annoyed. She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. "Sleep well, your head won't hurt when you wake up."
"I'm going to tell you a secret." He let go of her in surprise and sat up.
"What's the secret?" Shen Yuanyu only thought that he was drunk, and didn't take it to heart, so he asked casually.
As a result, he said, "I'm actually here in time, and I'm coming back to you from the future." β
If Shen Yuanyuan hadn't had that dream, she would definitely think that Zhou Minggao was talking nonsense, but at this time, she knew that he was not just talking drunk. She remembered that when she was a child, she also seemed to have some prophetic dreams, and everything could be more than just a coincidence.
- But in that dream, she was wearing a high school uniform and heard Zhou Minggao say this.
Shen Yuan asked tentatively, "Why did you come back to me?" What happened to me then? β
"You jumped off the building." He said it vaguely, but Shen still understood. He said, "I'm so sad. β
"That'...... How did you get back? β
He made a sound similar to that of a crane.
Shen Yuan: "Ho??? β
Without waiting for her to ask anything more, Zhou Minggao was already asleep. Shen Xuan had lost sleep again this night, she had been hesitating whether to ask Zhou Minggao about it again the next day, and finally she decided that if he remembered what he said, she would ask. If he didn't remember, forget it - after all, Zhou Minggao only said this after drinking, and never talked to her when he was sober, Shen Yuanyuan felt that he probably didn't want her to know.
The next day, Zhou Minggao didn't mention it, and it seemed that he had completely forgotten about it, and Shen Minggao didn't mention it again.
