Chapter 2: The Growth of All Things (1)
1. Missing
To celebrate Ryoko's return, the whole dormitory unanimously agreed to go out for dinner.
But it was difficult to decide which restaurant to eat and what to eat, just in the interval between everyone's chatter and discussion, Ryoko flipped through the previous diary, the mood was different, and the handwriting was correspondingly strange, she simply flipped through two or three of them, each of which could be written so long, maybe the previous self was more energetic, full of things to say but didn't know who to say, so it would be so long. Now, she wouldn't have been able to write it. Also, I have always been lazy recently, and my mind is almost filled with Huo Heng, fantasizing about what he is doing, etc., but this kind of mood will never be written into the diary, after all, it is something that you may regret in the future.
Will you regret it? Ryoko isn't sure, at least for now. I feel a lot of emotion today, thinking that I had such a cautious mind about Huo Heng at the beginning, at that time, I probably never expected that I would be his lover a year later.
Everyone asked Liangzi to finally make a decision on whether to eat lobster, order food or hot pot.
Ryoko closed the diary, sat up from the bed, and supported her chin with her hands to the three pairs of eyes that looked at her downstairs in unison to show her surrender, she had always had no problem with these things, as long as she was not allowed to make this decision, she would raise her hands in agreement wherever everyone said she would go. If it were left on the ancient battlefield, Liangzi estimated that he would be a good soldier, and he would attack wherever the commander told him to fight, how obedient he was.
Anyway, it doesn't matter what you eat, it's who you are with.
But everyone had to let Ryoko decide, and Ryoko was very helpless and embarrassed, "Go eat lobster?" ”
The dormitory was quiet, no one answered, glanced at everyone's expressions, and blinked their eyes: "Why don't you go and eat something?" ”
The air was stagnant for a while, and Liangzi had to hurriedly change his words: "How about eating hot pot?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The remaining three raised their hands together in agreement, only Liangzi looked confused, and after understanding, he rolled his eyes one by one, and there was no reason for the girls to want to eat hot pot, right? Count me up, right?
"Since everyone listens to me so much, let's eat some food!"
Wang Xiao picked up the mobile phone and pretended to answer the phone, and said to the other end of the phone: "Hey, Mom, hey, why are you calling now, I miss you!" By the way, Yunyun, what Gangliangzi said is to eat hot pot, right? Hey, Mom, it's okay, just now our dormitory said that we would make an appointment to eat hot pot together in the evening......"
Liang Shan hurriedly turned on the Glory of Kings, opened his voice and said to his comrades over there: "Brother squad leader, hurry up and hurry up, let's have two more rounds, and we will have to eat hot pot with Liangzi and them later!" ”
Yunyun was dressed neatly and was ready to go out, "Liangzi, I didn't hear you when you said to eat hot pot just now, let's make an appointment at half past five in the evening, right?" Without waiting for Ryoko to answer, the guy continued: "Okay, then I'll go on a date, don't worry, I will never be late for this hot pot banquet for you tonight!" Bye! With that, he went straight out the door.
Ryoko shook her head helplessly, looking at this slightly exaggerated acting skills......
I just nested in the dormitory all day, thinking that I was going out to eat at half past five, everyone started to clean up at half past four, washing, lotion, BB cream, concealer, eyebrow powder, eye shadow, mascara, lipstick, makeup, combing hair, and finally changing clothes, and picking shoes after wearing, an hour is far from enough, the moment I stepped out of the room, Ryoko looked at my phone, it was already six o'clock.
Shook his head helplessly, heh, girl, girl, your name is Ke Jin.
Waiting for everyone's free time, Liangzi secretly ran to the rooftop to have a voice call with Huo Heng.
"I suddenly want to hear your voice."
"This is the first time you've taken the initiative to talk to me, so surprised."
Ryoko held the phone tightly, a little embarrassed, lowered her head, and tried to step on the center of the roof floor with the soles of her feet as much as possible with each step forward, before slowly moving forward step by step.
"That's not because you're busy, I don't know when you'll be free, and if you call, I can get it at any time, I'm more idle."
"You always have a point."
Having said that, Ryoko's heart still hopes that he will take the initiative in everything, so that there will be an illusion that he loves himself a little more, and I don't know how to describe this subtle mental activity, and even feel that he is a little evil and deformed to coax himself.
I don't know what other girls are like in love.
"Now I'm getting less and less attentive at work, and I'm always thinking about you."
Hearing Huo Heng say this, Liangzi was naturally very sweet, but said sternly: "You have to remember that you are a doctor, and it is a major matter related to the health and lives of others, but you must not be sloppy!" ”
"Look at you, I will work hard, and you have to work hard to write your paper!"
"Well, let's work together!"
At more than five o'clock, it was the moment when the sun was gradually sinking in the west, half of the sky in the west was dyed orange-red, and the sun itself no longer looked hot, which was much milder.
"Ryoko, I want to really own you,"
"How about I go to you this weekend?"
Ryoko's heart was pounding, she knew very well what that would mean, if he really came, what was not done last time would be done this time, then she would completely complete the transformation from a girl to a woman.
But if this change is done by the beloved him, it is not impossible, isn't it?
It's only been four days since the last drunken intimate encounter.
I couldn't see him for four days, and every minute and every second of every day was an ordeal.
"It's so far away, is it too late?"
"I've seen it, it's very fast to take the high-speed rail, I'll go over on Saturday afternoon, and I'll come at noon on Sunday, and the time is completely in time."
"But isn't that a hurry?"
"As long as I can see you, I'm willing to do anything."
"In that case, I can see you the day after tomorrow!"
"Want to see me?"
"Yes!" This time, Ryoko answered neatly and crisply.
"Then I'll book a ticket now."
"How about bringing a razor when you come?"
"Why?"
"You remember to bring it."
"I was meant to bring it."
"That's right."
It was already 5:40 when I ended the voice call, and when I went downstairs, I couldn't help but look back at the sunset, the sun was still struggling in the western sky.
"It's just a refraction of light, how can it be so beautiful in the eyes of man?" Ryoko couldn't help but murmur as she looked at the sunset that filled the sky.
2. Temptation
A group of four people went out, walked to the bus stop at the west gate of the school in a playful manner, and when they got on the bus, Liangzi consciously closed his mouth, but Wang Xiao still chattered non-stop.
There are mostly students on the bus, and Ryoko guesses that most of them go to Huajie to eat!
Huajie is a commercial street not far from her university, only three stops away, all kinds of restaurants, KTV, which is sandwiched with one or two hairdressers and small supermarkets, the main service object is Liangzi's ** University of Technology and a nearby college and university, in the evening it is very lively, in addition to the stores, the main passage of Huajie will also be full of all kinds of snacks on both sides of the cart, Huajia, rice noodles, fried noodles, fried yogurt, cakes, fruit snacks and the like.
Sure enough, when I arrived at Huajie Station, nearly two-thirds of the passengers got off in an uproar, and when I looked back, the bus was really much looser.
Liangzi and the others bought a hot pot set online, and when they arrived at the hotel, it was nearly seven o'clock, and the hall on the first floor was almost full. Liangzi couldn't help but sigh, no matter what season or place, as long as it is a hot pot restaurant, it will be very popular, no wonder so many big stars are also vying to open hot pot restaurants, and the profits must be very large. If she has the opportunity in the future, maybe she will also open a hot pot restaurant. What a warm and happy thing it is for a group of people to sit around and eat the same hot meal. But with her lazy personality, she can't run a hot pot restaurant, right? Running a store must have a lot of heart, all kinds of relationships need to be opened, all kinds of people need to deal with it, the most important thing is the capital, with her current economic situation, not to mention that she is still in college, even if she graduates, the money earned from work still has to be given to her parents. Thinking of this, I thought of my mother sitting in the living room while eating melon seeds while talking to relatives and friends: Our family Liangzi, what else can you expect from her, what is the use of working hard for her to go to school, in the end it is just making wedding dresses for others! When the family finishes college, they will almost reach the age of marriage, and the money they earn is not in their own hands, it is better to raise a son, and now they can get it back by then!
Ryoko knew that those words were specifically said to her, and if it was a radical method, then she would admit that even if her parents didn't reach out to her to ask for money, she would give it. If the twenty-year mother-daughter relationship could be ended with money, then she would feel better, but this is not the case, gratitude, resentment, blood, tears, and self-blame are all mixed together, weaving a complex web, wrapping her tightly in it, unable to move.
When will I be able to save enough money to run a hot pot restaurant? It's a far-fetched thing to think about, but if there really is such a day, she will use the money to run a bookstore, greet customers when there are customers, and read books as much as she wants when there are no customers, although it may not necessarily make money, but at least it is her small wish and life ideal.
It seems like a little far ahead.
After checking in at the front desk, the four of them found a smaller square table and sat down, and then the waiter brought the ordered mandarin duck pot.
When they went to the public service area to get the hot pot seasoning, the dishes in the set meal were almost ready.
"Liangzi went out to work this time, did she encounter any sexual encounters? For example, a good-looking little brother or something. ”
Liang Shanse threw a wink at Liangzi in a daze, unscrewed the orange on the table and poured a glass for everyone, and then took a small sip.
The law major at Liangzi's school requires students to go to the court, the procuratorate, and the law firm for three months in the second semester of their senior year, but in order to repay the college loan for four years of college, Liangzi took the risk and went directly to a factory in the provincial capital city to work as a casual worker for three months, during which he has been living with Yue Minwen. Yue Minwen is Liangzi's hair young, a transfer student transferred from the fifth grade of primary school, Yue Minwen is not afraid of her, but compared to other children, she is slightly bolder. Due to the long-standing habit of the school, people who are familiar with Liangzi will also be isolated, so Yue Minwen often secretly encourages Liangzi by writing letters. Later, he failed the college entrance examination and dropped out of school to work, but he still kept in touch with Ryoko.
"What's the matter, I'm going to make money, okay! Besides, although the little brother said that there is no, there are several dozen old bacon, if you want to be raised, eat and drink without worrying, I will introduce you to you? ”
Liang Shan hurriedly shook his head, like a rattle.
Wang Xiao shrugged his shoulders, "Does making money affect the object?" ”
"Are you embarrassed to say me, huh? I won't talk about it, you two ......"
"Okay, okay, okay?"
After a few words, the pot opened with a grunt, the tomato pot and the spicy pot were almost the same bright red color, Yunyun sat on the edge of the vegetable shelf, and hurriedly opened the mutton rolls and fat beef rolls.
Wang Xiao and Liang Shan created their own way of eating, put minced shallots and chopped coriander in a small bowl, drizzle a little balsamic vinegar, scoop a spoonful of freshly boiled tomato soup from the pot and pour it over, minced shallots and chopped coriander immediately floated up and floated leisurely on the surface, and it was done.
After tasting it, I was surprised that it tasted good, and Ryoko and Yunyun also competed to imitate it.
"Have you read a pretty hot news on the Internet recently? It seems to be a video of the original partner beating the junior very badly. ”
Ryoko pretended to mention it casually.
"I know something, but I don't pay much attention to it." Liang Shan put down his chopsticks and replied to a QQ message with a blank face before continuing to eat.
"What do you all think of those third parties?"
"How else can you see it. Dragged out, beaten to death with sticks. All the juniors do not deserve sympathy. ”
In the past, Liangzi also thought so, but since she met Huo Heng, she began to find various reasons for herself, and gradually understood some of the last resorts in her relationship.
"I think the person who was beaten is also quite miserable, will they really love each other......"
In the past, I always thought that a bad guy was a bad guy, and the third party should be shouted and beaten by everyone, and everyone should be killed. But now Ryoko is shaken, not entirely because he has become that kind of person to say so, but as he grows older, he feels more and more that human nature is complex, and the adult world is always mixed with many uncontrollable factors. Ryoko no longer has the simple opinion that she had when she was a child, in fact, black and white become gray. In fact, she doesn't want to be a junior, a destroyer of Huo Heng's marriage, and a moth that everyone spurns, but Liangzi doesn't want to defend herself, she is just wrong, she can't control her feelings, she is a bad person who everyone shouts and beats.
Before Liangzi's words were finished, he was interrupted by Yunyun, who was high-pitched: "Which pair of cheating people is not under the banner of true love?" True love is a fart, and true love can be inserted? Can true love ruin someone else's love life? If you want me to say that such people should be shot, I will not accept rebuttal! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Ryoko looked at everyone who was so unanimous and hurriedly agreed, for fear of being seen something. Concealment is not what she wants, but she cannot be discovered, she must hide.
In order to hide his unnaturalness, he quickly opened another topic.
"By the way, how did you prepare your paper?"
"Don't mention it, I don't even have an outline."
Liang Shan picked up a piece of mutton roll from the spicy pot, dipped it in the prepared sauce and put it in his mouth, and an expression of enjoyment instantly bloomed on his face.
"Then I'm a little better than you, I at least have an outline."
Ryoko stuck out her tongue and grimaced.
"Anyway, the four of us actually followed different mentors!"
"Several of our tutors are not in a hurry, I heard that some tutors have already started to urge a draft."
Yunyun tried a bite of enoki mushrooms in the spicy pot at the instigation of Liang Shan, and burst into tears, and quickly picked up the juice and poured it into his mouth.
Liang Shan's treacherous plan succeeded, and he couldn't dance in his small position, so he had to raise his head and laugh.
"From tomorrow onwards, I have to do a good job of paper, otherwise I won't be able to do anything."
"Having said that, when you actually have to write it, you can't write it."
"That's it, it's better to die than to drag it out." Liang Shan is always speechless and endless.
"Then you still have to write, you have to finish it after all, and it's better to write late than early. Let's go to the library tomorrow and collect some information. ”
"I really want to pry open the brains of people who have already written and see how the structure inside is different from ours, so that I can be so positive."
"You shouldn't say that, right? It's not that people are too positive, it's that we're too lazy. ”
Liang Shan buried his head in eating meat and roared, his brows squeezed into a big pimple, "I was in a good mood when I came out to eat, but you see that your mouths and mouths are all papers, so I can't eat anymore." ”
Yunyun picked up his chopsticks and swiped them forward, and said righteously: "As a student, how can you not talk about studying? ”
Liang Shan muttered while chewing meat, "Isn't it time for the teacher to take the roll call during class, and you skipped class and asked us to answer on your behalf, right?" ”
Li Yunyun was deflated, picked up a plate of duck blood next to him and put it into the pot, "What did I say just now?" Come on, come on, I'll serve you food! ”
However, when it comes to writing a thesis, Ryoko's head is really big, and he didn't go to the internship he asked for a year ago, and when the thesis topic was reported, it was also a random topic, and now at this point in time, it is no longer possible to revise the thesis title, but if you write according to the submitted topic, you really have no clue and can't write. Although the tutor will not let himself hang up, the premise is that he must have his work come out before the tutor can score himself.
Ryoko shook her head to herself, and if she couldn't think of something that she couldn't figure out and couldn't solve, she just left it alone, and she should eat well when she eats.
After nine o'clock, we had missed the last bus back to school, and finally everyone unanimously decided to walk back, anyway, it was only three stops away.
At nine o'clock in the night, the heat of the day has all dissipated, and the coolness has gradually risen, but fortunately, in the early summer season, it does not feel cold, but the relaxation after every pore on the surface of the skin is relaxed. The farther away from Wall Street, the quieter the surroundings and the darker the night. But there will be a street lamp every seven or eight meters or so, so I don't feel too scared, and besides, it is the companionship of four girls who have eaten together, singing out of tune while walking, and the night road is no longer long, no longer afraid, no longer lonely. Because there is singing, there is each other's company.
"What will we be like years from now? How will we feel nostalgic for this night in many years' time? ”
Thinking like this, Liangzi gradually fell behind, and it was not until Liang Shan and the three of them stopped and turned around to urge that she reacted, and chased after her in three steps and two steps.
