Chapter 10: The Past

When Xiao Xue woke up the next day, she no longer ran away, she knew that there were still many things to deal with by herself, even if she was still heartbroken, she forced herself to face it. So everyone accompanied her to fly to X City to deal with Duan Yu's funeral. Seeing Duan Yu's body being pushed into the cremation room, Xiao Xue cried silently again.

Xiao Xue, who was holding the urn, didn't say a word on the plane back to City C, she kept her head down and sobbed. After getting off the plane, she said to everyone: "Thank you for being with us during this time, rest assured, I'm fine now, I'm just too tired and want to go home and rest alone!"

"Xiao Xue, I'll send you!" Liu Jia said to her.

"No need, you're tired too, I'll just take the car back by myself!" After speaking, Xiao Xue called a taxi and sat on it.

"Xiao Xue, you ........." Zhang Yan was interrupted by Xiao Xue before she finished speaking.

"I'm really fine, don't worry, I'll go first! Good bye! The doors were slammed shut and the taxi drove away.

The other three stood in place, all worried.

"I'm still not worried about her." Liu Jia looked at the other two and said.

"Forget it, let's leave her alone! She also needs an overrun. Wu Yuan sighed.

"Well, we've done everything we can, and she's up to her for the rest. Our over-concern may also be a burden to her. It's good to have her alone and quiet. Zhang Yan said to the two.

After leaving the airport, the three of them went home. Everyone is too tired these days and needs to rest.

Zhang Yan lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep, and when she woke up, it was already noon the next day. She stretched, rolled over, and was reluctant to get out of bed for a long time. It wasn't until her stomach was grunting with hunger and her stomach was a little nauseous that she got up and opened the refrigerator to find something to eat, there was only half a box of fresh milk left in the refrigerator, and two slices of bread had expired.

There are not many vegetables left in the supermarket, Zhang Yan picked up a few tomatoes casually, took a few eggs and a handful of dried noodles, and prepared to go home to make tomato egg noodles, when checking out, she saw a familiar back in front of her, Zhang Yan turned around and walked towards the shelf, pretending to pick something, while using her eyes to see if the person had left, and finally saw him push the door out, Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and went to the queue to check out again.

Zhang Yan, who was about to go home after settling the account, remembered the back just now and was uneasy, and accidentally bumped into a strong chest.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Zhang Yan touched her forehead and apologized vigorously.

"It's okay, I didn't expect you to be so confused after so many years." The familiar male voice sounded, and as soon as Zhang Yan raised her head, a face that she was familiar with was close at hand, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.

"You... Why are you here? Zhang Yan remembered the back just now, and it turned out to be him.

"Why, you don't want to see me so much?" The man hooked his lips and smiled.

"No... I'm not..."Zhang Yan didn't know what to say for a while.

"Look at what you're carrying, haven't you eaten yet?" The man stared at the food in Zhang Yan's hand.

"Oh, ready to go home and do it!" Zhang Yan calmed down slightly.

"Is your home in this neighborhood?"

"Hmm!"

"I haven't seen you for so long, don't go home and do it, go, I'll invite you to dinner." The man looked at Zhang Yan and smiled.

"Well, no need, I'll get home and do something soon." Zhang Yan didn't dare to look at him.

"Okay, we've known each other for so long, so don't be so polite. Let's go! As he spoke, the man took Zhang Yan's hand and walked forward.

"That, Tong Jie, let go of your hand, I'll go by myself." Zhang Yan's face flushed slightly.

Tong Jie turned his head to look at her, looked at her for a while, and put his hand down.

"Zhang Yan, do you hate me so much?" Tong Jie pressed his hands on Zhang Yan's shoulders and looked at her.

"No, don't think about it." Zhang Yan brushed aside the hand that was pressing on her shoulder and walked forward. Tong Jie followed behind her and did not speak again.

"That's it, let's have some casual food, I'll have something to do in a while." Zhang Yan stopped at the door of a Chinese restaurant and said to Tong Jie.

"Okay, you decide." The two pushed open the door of the restaurant and walked inside.

"Here, eat more, I remember this is your favorite food before!" Tong Jie clipped a fish-flavored eggplant box to Zhang Yan.

"Well, thanks, but I haven't eaten it in a long time." Zhang Yan lowered her head and grilled rice.

"Zhang Yan, why are you so cold to me? We can be friends even if we break up. β€œ

"Tong Jie, I haven't contacted you for so many years, don't you understand?" Zhang Yan put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand.

"I knew I had hurt you, and I thought you could forgive me after all these years."

"There is no forgiveness that I don't forgive, I just hope that I don't have anything to do with you anymore."

"This proves that you still hate me, and I hope you can forgive me."

"I didn't hate you, it's been so long since the past, I've forgotten it."

"Then why don't you want to contact me? Isn't it possible to be friends after so many years of relationship? β€œ

"Tong Jie, why are you doing this? For the sake of everyone's better life, it is the best decision to stop having to do things. β€œ

"I just don't want to lose your friend from childhood!"

"Hehe, friend, forget it! Why bother? β€œ

"Zhang Yan!" Tong Jie wanted to grab her hand.

"So be it! We will pay half of today's meal, I hope you don't get entangled anymore, let's get together and disperse! After Zhang Yan finished speaking, she put down a hundred bills and got up to leave. Leave Tong Jie alone in place.

Almost running home, Zhang Yan slumped on the sofa, tomatoes and noodles scattered on the ground, and eggs were broken.

thought that she didn't care for a long time and had forgotten the past, but Zhang Yan didn't expect to feel so uncomfortable in her heart, tears rolled in her eyes, and the fragments of memory slowly pieced together a complete picture.

In Zhang's mother's heart, Zhang Yan is a girl who has never been in love, but in fact, Zhang Yan once fell in love with Tong Jie behind her family's back in high school.

Tong Jie was originally from City C, and Tong Jie's grandmother's house was in Zhang Yan's hometown, Yang Town, very close to Zhang Yan's house. When Tong Jie was in the fourth grade of primary school, because of a quarrel between his parents, his mother accidentally killed his father, and Tong Jie had no one to take care of him, and was finally sent to live at his grandmother's house. When he was a child, Tong Jie didn't know everything that happened, and he played happily every day like an ordinary child, and his best playmate was Zhang Yan. When she was in junior high school, Zhang Yan, who was in love for the first time, had a different feeling for Tong Jie, every time she saw Tong Jie, she would blush and her heart beat, and when she couldn't see him, she would look forward to meeting him and longing to be with him. And Tong Jie, like most boys of that age, was infected with a lot of bad habits, and began to know sex, often teasing Zhang Yan with dirty language with some boys, and the stupid Zhang Yan thought he liked her and ran away shyly.

When she was in high school, Zhang Yan mustered up the courage to confess to Tong Jie, Tong Jie didn't even think about it, and said that he was dating her, not to mention how happy Zhang Yan was at that time. They went to school together every day, went home together, took her out on a bicycle during the holidays, and he would pick wild flowers on the side of the road to give her, and that time was Zhang Yan's happiest days. However, the good times didn't last long, and then Zhang Yan found out that Tong Jie was having an affair with multiple girls at the same time, she couldn't stand it, and asked him to theorize, and he also said that Zhang Yan was dirty, Zhang Yan couldn't face it, and she didn't want to explain, she knew that he must have listened to the rumors about that incident, she began to avoid him, and he didn't look for her again. A friend asked Zhang Yan why she didn't explain, but Zhang Yan didn't want to say more. During that time, everyone looked at her in a strange light because of that incident, everyone bullied her, she had no evidence, she couldn't argue, she had to choose to endure. What saddened her the most was that the person she loved didn't choose to believe her, didn't help her, or even joined in hurting her。。。。。。。。
