Chapter 82: The Choice
"Huh? What's wrong? Zhang Xin's hand, which just wanted to put down the phone, heard Lynch's words and put it back to his ear. Lynch's voice sounded a little hesitant, and Zhang Xin continued to ask a few more questions.
"Are you free next weekend, I should be able to rush back next weekend, my friend gave me two movie tickets before, and I want to go with you to see it." This is the first time that Lynch has officially taken the initiative to ask Zhang Xin out, so he feels a little nervous, he remembers that Zhang Xin is the birthday of next week's weekend, and has prepared a surprise for this.
Zhang Xin didn't expect Lynch to take the initiative to ask her out, and she was a little embarrassed for a while. Lynch waited anxiously, and when he saw that Zhang Xin did not respond, his heart suddenly twitched.
"You, aren't you free?"
"Ah, yes, yes." Zhang Xin always felt that there was something she just wanted to forget, but she couldn't remember what it was, and Lynch called her to pull her back from her thoughts.
"Well, that's good, good night."
Lynch breathed a sigh of relief, put down the phone, and took out the small cloth bag from his coat pocket, which contained the jade bracelet he had bought for her from her hometown.
Since returning from his hometown during the Spring Festival, there has been no suitable opportunity to give Zhang Xin, it just so happens that Zhang Xin is next weekend's birthday, he plans to put the bracelet on her hand, and then show her his attitude, he knows that Zhang Xin has always been concerned about him and Zhou Hui's affairs, Zhang Xin has suffered a lot before, has been insecure, although she doesn't say it, but has been stuffy in his heart, he wants to take this opportunity to tell her his thoughts clearly.
Zhang Xin heard a beep on the other end of the phone, so she also hung up the phone, picked up the sweet potato that had been a little cooled and walked back to the bedroom, thinking about what she had forgotten as she walked, and suddenly a boy holding a basketball ran by her side, and her mind flashed.
"Hey, didn't Chen Ruize say yesterday that he would come to me for my birthday next weekend? Oops, how did I forget! Zhang Xin slapped his head fiercely, feeling that he was really stupid, and agreed to the two of them at once, what should I do when the time comes. Zhang Xin blamed herself and returned to the dormitory.
When I arrived at the dormitory, it was already about eight o'clock in the evening, Jiang Juan, who had gone out to play ball in the afternoon, had already come back, it seemed that she had just taken a shower, her hair was still wet, and there was still a person sitting on the bed.
"Hi, hello, I'm Zhang Xin from the history department who moved in today."
"Oh, hello, I'm Chen Xiumei, I used to be from our city machine tool factory, and now I'm in the mechanical engineering department." The roommate in front of him looked a little older, with neat short hair and a dark cyan overalls embroidered with the words "Machine Tool Factory" on it.
"By the way, I'm probably the biggest person in our dorm. I'm 61 years old and married. Chen Xiumei looked at Zhang Xin's bright little face, and felt a little envious in her heart.
"Wow, that's good, then I'll call you Sister Chen in the future." Zhang Xin sighed when she heard that Chen Xiumei was married, and Chen Xiumei's face turned red with shame.
"Hey, hasn't Li Cui come back yet?" Zhang Xin looked at the empty bed and turned around to ask.
"Oh, Xiaocui, before you came back just now, she came back once, saying that she wouldn't come back to sleep tonight, and let me tell you, don't worry about her." Jiang Juan put away her belongings, turned her head and said to Zhang Xin.
"Oh, okay." Zhang Xin thought that she and Li Mo were together, nothing should happen, and besides, the previous conflict between the two of them really needed to be talked about, so Zhang Xin didn't worry about her anymore, took a thermos and fetched water from downstairs, and went to bed to rest after washing.
The university dormitory stipulates that the lights go out at ten o'clock, Zhang Xin is lying on the bed and sleepy, the subtle breathing sound of Chen Xiumei and Jiang Juan has sounded in the dormitory, before the lights go out, Jiang Juan told Zhang Xin that she will get up early to run tomorrow, so she may make a little noise, I hope Zhang Xin doesn't mind, Zhang Xin thought that she could take advantage of this time to memorize a little English in the morning, after all, since she already had a plan, she had to be fully prepared.
Zhang Xin stared at the bed board on the top bunk, her mind was full of arrangements for next weekend, since she had promised Lynch, she must not go back, not to mention that she had been looking forward to going to the movies with Lynch for a long time, and finally she had waited for this opportunity, saying that she could not give up this opportunity, so she could only find an opportunity to refuse Chen Ruize first.
Zhang Xin thought about it and fell asleep, while there was another person on the other side who was experiencing insomnia like her.
Chen Ruize tossed and turned on the bed, and the words that the person told him this afternoon made him feel contradictions and choices for the first time in these twenty-one years.
He didn't have a class this afternoon, so he found his classmates to play basketball on the playground, because yesterday Zhang Xin promised him to celebrate his birthday with him next weekend, and he was in a particularly good mood today, playing exceptionally on the court and scoring frequently.
"Hey, Ozawa, what's wrong with you today, playing so hard." Wu Tao, who has always had a good relationship with him, sat next to him at halftime.
"Today, not only is he playing fiercely, you look at this face, there is still a smile, you said that how could we have seen him smile like this before, with a straight face all the year round, if you want me to say, this must be a situation." Li Shuai, another member of the same team, also sat down, put his arm around his neck, and teased Chen Ruize with Wu Tao.
"Lao Tzu is in a good mood today, what can he do!" Although Chen Ruize said it, when he thought of Zhang Xin's face, he couldn't help laughing, his face was full of tenderness.
"Yo Yo Yo, look at it, this person is hard-mouthed."
No matter how they ridiculed, Chen Ruize had been thinking about how to celebrate Zhang Xin's birthday well, he had always been an indifferent person, but I don't know when, he began to pay attention to Zhang Xin's every move, when she was unhappy, he would try his best to make her happy, and now he didn't want to miss any important days for Zhang Xin.
"Excuse me, are you Chen Ruize?"
Chen Ruize was fighting with Wu Tao and them, and when they heard the voice, the three of them raised their heads one after another. I saw that the person in front of me was wearing a pair of small black leather shoes, wearing an off-white coat, his fair skin was particularly translucent in the sun, his long black hair was scattered on his shoulders, his slender neck, and his thin waist were like a white swan.
"Oh my God, this is a fairy." Li Shuai's eyes straightened, and he touched Chen Ruize with his arm, "Brother, when did you know such a fairy?" ”
Zhou Hui automatically ignored the two weirdos next to Chen Ruize who were looking at her directly, and asked Chen Ruize again.
"Excuse me, is it Chen Ruize?"
"Yes, yes, he is." Wu Tao and Li Shuai replied in unison for Chen Ruize, and hurriedly dragged him up and pushed him in front of Zhou Hui.
Chen Ruize was caught off guard by the betrayal, and turned his head to glare at them.
"Well, I am."
"Can we find a place to talk?" Zhou Hui looked at the two faces behind him who had been staring at her, and felt very uncomfortable.
"Okay." Chen Ruize handed the basketball in his hand to Li Shuai vigorously, and made a gesture to Zhou Hui very gentlemanly, signaling her to lead the way in front.
"Look, I said that he must have a situation, he is still such a big beauty, Chen Ruize, this kid is lucky, his father is still the principal of the school, alas, the same life is not the same." Li Shuai looked at Chen Ruize who was walking away, looked up to the sky and sighed and complained.
"Okay, don't complain, think about how you live with your high math first." Wu Tao patted Li Shuai on the shoulder, shook his head sympathetically, and started the next game with the basketball.
Chen Ruize followed Zhou Hui to a relatively hidden place, he looked at the girl in front of him and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"May I ask who you are?" Chen Ruize stopped, he has never liked to sell guanzi.
Zhou Hui stopped, turned her head to look at him and looked completely different from more than ten years, thinking that after so many years, if she hadn't inquired a little about him and learned that he was the son of Principal Chen, she really wouldn't recognize him, she took another step forward and asked him with a raised face.
"You really don't recognize me?"
