Chapter 15: Intrigues

On Sunday morning, Chen Wenhai was sleeping at his parents' house when Chen Chunmei and Li Guoqiang came in.

After Chen Wenhai was woken up by Chen Chunmei, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and said with a smile:

"You're here."

"Get up!" After speaking, Chen Chunmei and Li Guoqiang went into the back room.

Chen Wenhai got dressed, washed his face, and came to the back room, and then the three of them gathered around a table to eat breakfast.

"Your sister told me about you and Zhang Xuemei just now." Li Guoqiang took a sip of porridge, "Now, your relationship with Zhang Xuemei has made a good start, you should continue to work hard!" ”

"But I still don't have faith!" Chen Wenhai had a melancholy expression on his face, "Now, Zhang Xuemei doesn't seem to be very willing to get close to me, and she told me: Her uncle doesn't let her fall in love with others casually. Chen Wenhai took a bite of the fritters, "You say, is that really what Zhang Xuemei said?" ”

"Maybe. Of course, it is not ruled out that this is an excuse she is making. If that's the case, it means that she still has concerns about causing her some trouble if she gets close to you. ”

"You have a point, and I think so." Chen Wenhai frowned, "So, what should I do in the future?" ”

"As long as she doesn't have an aversion to you, you should continue to take the initiative to approach her."

"Is this still necessary? I'm afraid that if I take the initiative to approach her again, it will cause misunderstanding among others, and I think I'm struggling with her shamelessly! If this happens, won't my reputation in this life be over? ”

"It can't be that serious. In my opinion, you should find an opportunity to talk to her alone and tell her what you really are doing and what you think. ”

"But what if she doesn't want to be alone with me?"

"You haven't done it yet, how do you know she's going to be unwilling?"

"Just give it a try!" Chen Chunmei said to her brother: "This does not damage your dignity!"

"How can it not be detrimental to my dignity? If Zhang Xuemei misunderstood what I meant and thought that I had wrong thoughts about him, can you still say that it does not damage my dignity? Perhaps, she already knows about me and Zhang Peony, so she will think: 'Isn't it Zhang Peony that you love?' Now you're coming to me again, what do you mean? ’”

"Do you mean that she won't believe you're going to fall in love with her?"

"It's entirely possible! I'll tell you the truth: I really don't fall in love with her right now, I just think she's cute. ”

"So, will you fall in love with her in the future?"

"Possibly. If I really fall in love with her in the future, I think: it will probably cause me a lot of unexpected trouble! ”

In the following 20 years, Chen Wenhai's worries really became a living reality, and its severity was completely beyond Chen Wenhai's expectations! For more than 20 years, Zhang Xuemei's misunderstanding of Chen Wenhai has become deeper and deeper, in the minds of some people, Chen Wenhai has become a scoundrel with a dead face, and some people even scolded him for being a leper dog and a mad dog, and he will want to die quickly! This shocked Chen Wenhai! The living reality profoundly educated Chen Wenhai and made him see the true face of the world clearly in his cold eyes and white eyes!

After returning to the single dormitory of the Second Automobile Railway Material Transportation Department, Chen Wenhai decided to continue to take the initiative to approach Zhang Xuemei, he thought: If you want to get your own happiness, you can't be afraid of wolves and tigers, as long as you have one percent hope, you can't give up easily.

Chen Wenhai took out a pen and letter paper from the drawer and wrote:

"Last time, I gave you a note asking you to introduce me to someone, actually, this is an excuse to let you know me better. Originally, the problem was very simple, but what I didn't expect was: this note caused some trouble for both of us, and some people mistakenly thought that the two of us were in love!

"I know that you don't know me very well now, so I thought: if you will, we will go out this evening and have a good talk. My experience is complex, legendary, and I think you'll be interested in it. ”

On Monday morning, Chen Wenhai was preparing for class, and the phone rang, looking for Zhang Xuemei, so Chen Wenhai hurriedly went to the next office to call Zhang Xuemei to answer the phone.

After Zhang Xuemei finished calling, Chen Wenhai took the opportunity to give her another folded note, "Don't open it yet, I'll see it when I return to your office." Also, watch it while no one is around! ”

"Do you want me to introduce you to someone?"

"It's not. You'll understand when you read it! ”

Zhang Xuemei's face was flushed with two red clouds, she lowered her head, and whispered while fiddling with her braids:

"My uncle won't let me fall in love with anyone else!"

"You've already told me that!" Chen Wenhai's face also turned red, "I think: you misunderstood what I meant!" Actually......"

At this time, Li Lihua happened to pass by the door, and she hurriedly interrupted Chen Wenhai's words, "You two don't choose a time and place to fall in love!" ”

Chen Wenhai hurriedly said: "You are mistaken, the two of us are not in love!" ”

Zhang Xuemei stepped into her office, and Wang Xiulan hurriedly asked her:

"What did Chen Wenhai say to you just now?"

"Didn't say anything!"

"Didn't say anything? Don't lie to me! ”

"What am I lying to you for? Chen Wenhai really didn't say anything to me! ”

"You're still hard-mouthed!" Wang Xiulan stared at Zhang Xuemei's face, "Your face is so red!" ”

When Wang Xiulan asked this, Zhang Xuemei's face turned even redder with shame.

Seeing that Zhang Xuemei was so embarrassed, Wang Xiulan attached her mouth to her ear and asked her quietly:

"Is Chen Wenhai in love with you?"

Zhang Xuemei shyly lowered her head and fiddled with her braids.

"You really look like a lady in a feudal society, no wonder Chen Wenhai will fall in love with you!"

As soon as Zhang Xuemei walked into the principal's office, Qu Ying said to her:

"Today, I met Wang Zhiyuan and Zhu Zhenhua in Wuyan! The two of them told me a lot about Chen Wenhai's time in Shanghai! I broke out in a cold sweat when I heard this! ”

"Don't be so nervous, what the two of them said may not be true!" ”

"He turned out to be a little hooligan on the beach!"

"How so? I think Chen Wenhai is a good person! ”

"That's just scratching the surface! Do you really know him? After a while, Principal Qu said to Zhang Xuemei:

"Someone saw Chen Wenhai write you a love letter, what did he write?"

"Pure!" Zhang Xuemei blushed and said, "He won't write me a love letter!" ”

"Don't cover for Chen Wenhai!" Qu Ying frowned and said:

"I always feel that Chen Wenhai is very mysterious, you'd better stay away from him!"

"Don't be suspicious all day long!"

"I'm for your good! Uncle doesn't want to see a flower on cow dung! ”

After Zhang Xuemei went out, several young teachers walked in, they were shouting at Qu Ying blindly, the noise made Qu Ying's head dizzy, he waved his hand at them impatiently, "Go out, don't chase the wind all day long!" ”

Huang Jianhua moved a chair and sat down next to Qu Ying.

"Why haven't you gone out yet?" Qu Ying said with a frown.

"I have something to say to you!" Huang Jianhua said with a smile.

"Something to say, I'm busy!"

"It only takes half an hour for you!" Huang Jianhua blinked twice, "Just now, I went to set Chen Wenhai's words!" This kid couldn't hold his breath, and as soon as I talked to him, he told me everything! He has a major move tonight, he wants to ask Zhang Xuemei out! If Zhang Xuemei can't stand his sweet words, she may marry herself out of a daze! As soon as Chen Wenhai came to our school, he coveted Zhang Xuemei's beauty, and now, he can't wait to get Zhang Xuemei right away! If you indulge in his behavior, you will be aiding and abetting! ”

"Are you done?" Qu Ying frowned, "What do you mean by saying this to me?" Do you mean to say that I'm acquiescing to the two of them falling in love? I'm not so confused as you say! I was still reminding Zhang Xuemei just now not to easily believe what Chen Wenhai said! As for whether Zhang Xuemei is willing to listen to me, there is nothing I can do! If Zhang Xuemei is obsessed with ghosts, she has to marry Chen Wenhai, and I can't blatantly stop it! ”

"Of course you can't come hard! You can't be smarter! ”

"Do you need to tell me this?"

Huang Jianhua walked out of the principal's office with a belly full of fire, and muttered as he walked:

"What's so great about you? I kindly came to tell you some important information, but not only did you not appreciate it, but you reprimanded me with a lot of brains! You're so pretentious, you're going to lose to that little red guy sooner or later! ”

Feng Baoyu came out of the office, came to Huang Jianhua's side in three steps and two steps, and patted Huang Jianhua on the shoulder, Huang Jianhua was taken aback!

"What are you doing?" Huang Jianhua seemed annoyed, he glared at Feng Baoyu fiercely, "Why do you look like a bandit?" You shouldn't come to our school to teach, you should go to the mountains and be the king of the mountains! Raiding homes and robbing houses, bullying men and women should be your housekeeping skills! ”

"Don't you know what's wrong!" Feng Baoyu was not to be outdone, he stared at him and shouted: "I saw that you were pitiful, so I wanted to come over to comfort you!" Did you just get reprimanded by the principal? It's not that I'm talking about you, you're too much to breathe, and you panic when the wind blows! For an old fritter like Chen Wenhai, you don't need to take him in your eyes at all! If he wants to chase Zhang Xuemei, let him chase it! He may not be able to catch up! ”

"How can I be as as you think?" Huang Jianhua smiled bitterly, "I'm not willing to let Chen Wenhai, a stinky boy, take the lead!" Why did you want to go on an appointment with Zhang Xuemei first? Zhang Xuemei should be my woman! ”

"You've got it!" Feng Baoyu sneered, "You probably forgot that you are a disabled person, right?" Anyway, Chen Wenhai is a sound person, why can't you be the first? Besides, Zhang Xuemei is not worth your time and energy! She's a slut, I don't know how many men I've slept with! ”

"If you can't eat grapes, you say grapes are sour!" Huang Jianhua sneered: "Don't think I don't know anything!" Didn't you also use your brains on her? What face do you have to say about me? ”

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Feng Baoyu said to turn around and leave!

Looking at Feng Baoyu's distant back, Huang Jianhua couldn't help laughing!

"This kid lives like a lost dog!"
