Chapter 136: Butterflies and Spiders (4)
In the past, it was said that "if you don't forget, there will be an echo", that is a description of a good thing, but for something that you have not expected so much to happen after many years, then this feeling can be described as "being hit in the back of the head by a boomerang of time" or "being shot through the center of the eyebrow by a shot fired when you were young".
The feeling of warmth and coolness was between the above two descriptions, and she felt a kind of dizziness in her mind, as if she was beaten by Zhang Zhifan's sudden revelation of love, and the crampedness and consternation on her face were greater than all the emotions in her heart at the moment.
It is not uncommon for someone to be confessed to Wen Liang, its history can be traced back to when this girl was in elementary school, and recently it can be counted as Sui Chulang, who was a quasi-first-line when he was in college, and even Wei Xing not long ago, so in Wen Liang's long list of rejection history, there will naturally be no shortage of "good men" in the traditional sense, and unlike Cao Aiqing's soft heart that has to leave three points of face for the other party after rejecting others, the reasons for rejection given by Wen Liang are often very straightforward and poke at people's pain points.
"You're too ugly for us to."
"I don't owe you money, but I still pay you back 50, please, take this sentence back, if you still want to say this kind of thing, next time remember to V me 500 first, I know it in my heart...... What? You can't get five hundred, why should you confess? I beg you little boys, can you make money before chasing girls! Really down!"
"That's what you're calling me out for? I thought it was the teacher who asked you to call me to the training room! Who, if there is no teacher relationship between me and you, it will stop here, okay, I'll give you a trick, you immediately turn your head and go back, maybe you can still have a good reverie in the future, and my words will be here...... Still not leaving? Shall I ask you to turn around now? I don't want to see that face."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The above is an excerpt of Wen Liang's reasons for rejecting some suitors in high school, and now she can't say such a thing, so she has to put a question mark, but at this moment, in the face of Zhang Zhifan's actions, she does have a stomach that wants to vomit, but this old thing spans too long, and it came suddenly, and she can't get up in front of everyone's eyes, so she doesn't know where to start......
Fortunately, Zhang Zhifan also knows how to restrain himself, and after revealing his sincerity, he saw that Wen Liang did not react, and immediately started a round and said:
"Na, that's it between me and Ah Liang, now everyone is working hard for their careers, and I have a new fate around me, so don't gossip anymore, let us go, okay!"
Yes, I let this guy say all the good things, but I saw him holding his palms crossed, putting on a smiling face and begging for mercy around, so it really seemed that he Zhang Zhifan was sincere and frank.
"Don't, squad leader, you still don't know if Sister Liang is still single~ Maybe there is still a chance!"
"Li Bin, you're enough, what are you fooling around about things that have nothing to do with you? What does Sister Liang have to do with the squad leader if she is single or not, people say that there is fate around her now, or do you ...... You are coaxing on the surface, but you are actually asking for yourself~ The lazy toad wants to eat swan meat! β
In the face of the boys' blind coaxing, Ye Jiaqi, who was beside Wen Liang, showed a bit of righteousness at the moment, but this is all for others, as for Zhang Zhifan, taking the opportunity of the class reunion to admit his past love, this kind of behavior does not make them and the girls annoyed, who doesn't have a regret, not to mention that today's opportunity is rare, everyone is making trouble, but they are all adults, and some things can still be carried clearly, which is why Wen Liang did not respond positively to the premise of Zhang Zhifan's confession.
After all, someone else just gave a heartfelt gift, and then talked about the past in a joking tone, and drew a clear line when it was over, and you didn't save face for others at all, which is really mean.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhifan also took advantage of the situation to relieve the siege:
"Everyone, this stubble is over, I still brought a gift from you, if you keep pestering it like this, I can't spare my hands to take it."
Hearing him say this, everyone cheered again, although the gift to others is not as good as the custom for Wen Liang, but it is also his own signed vinyl performance book, this gadget is still quite collectible, even if people who don't like this way take it back, hang it on the second-hand platform and turn it upside down, it is also a small thousand things.
It can be seen that Zhang Zhifan is indeed very good at being a person, as early as high school, he was very popular, not only the opposite sex likes him, but also between the same sex, otherwise there would not have been so many boys to help him just now.
can play the piano, looks handsome, has an approachable personality, not to mention, there is no lack of romantic temperament on his body, such a male god in high school is simply a lore for little girls, just the kind of brilliance exuded by his body, which can make the dark otaku He of the same period have nothing to hide, and it is not too much to say that it is a complete explosion.
People were attracted by Zhang Zhifan's gift, Wen Liang walked to a corner by the window alone, and carefully studied the record, this gift was indeed very much in line with her heart, open the cover, on the title page of the track next to the vinyl, there was even a mark on the venue and year of the song, and the song at the end of the whole vinyl was not from her band period, but at a welcome party in high school, she collaborated with Zhang Zhifan on a track-
"The Fruit of Summer".
Seeing this made Wen Liang quite surprised, she couldn't even remember whether she had really worked with Zhang Zhifan once, the memories of the past were messy, she only remembered that she stood in the center on the stage with bright lights and applause.
But it's a pity that the girl who was in her prime didn't pay more attention to that surging youth after all......
Heyβ
A sad sigh sounded from Wen Liang's heart, she closed the record again, staring at herself standing on the seaside on the cover, the admiration of the time was easily announced after many years, and now that I think about it, those clues buried under the splendor to achieve today's scene are really like a bullet that has passed through time......
"I remember when I was in high school, you wanted to start a band, but I didn't expect you to actually do it."
In his ears, a man's voice sounded, it was Zhang Zhifan.
After distributing the gifts, he silently walked to Wen Liang's side, and everyone saw that the two of them were very interested in catching up with the past, so they didn't go up again to continue to bother.
Wen Liang said softly: "Is it so early?" I don't even remember......"
"At that time, you liked whatever was fun, you were wild, and your thoughts were also wild, I remember once we talked about The Cranberries song, you chatted and talked about the new dress of the SHUSHUTONG family, I couldn't answer, and you mentioned a lot of things like this casually, so it's normal that you don't remember, I'm used to thinking about it as a play."
Wen Liang looked at Zhang Zhifan, shook the record in his hand, and corrected:
"This is not a casual mention, now there are international superstar concerts, as long as I have free time, I can fly over to watch them; All the clothes of luxury brands, as long as I like them, I can buy them and wear them, and the words you think I want to come out of one are all realized now, but you didn't keep up with my thinking at the time, so you think I'm joking. β
Hearing the other party's bold words, the corners of Zhang Zhifan's mouth twitched:
"It's all done...... Alas, what a ...... It makes me feel a little subtle. β
Wen Liang frowned slightly, "What do you mean?" β
The man shook his head and smiled:
"Then you didn't joke when you said you liked me?"
"Did I say that to you?"
"Sort of...... I said it in disguise. β
ββ¦β¦β
With Zhang Zhifan's guidance, clearer memories gradually surfaced in his heart, and his cool face darkened......
This incident has always been a knot in Wen Liang's heart, but now that the old people are gathered and the old things are brought up, she has to face this scene The worst memories in her life.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Eight years ago, Gangcheng High School, Class 3 (2).
The sunset rendered the campus dim, today is the day when Wen Liang stayed behind to be responsible for cleaning, compared to the miserable situation when He Tianran was bullied by Xue Yong and caught cleaning the playground and the classroom alone, just outside the classroom, you can hear a cool and bright and slightly mocking laughter.
In the classroom at the moment, she was sitting cross-legged on a desk that did not belong to her, the blue and white school uniform was casually tied to her waist, and a section of her trouser leg was also pulled up to her calf, and the loose white T-shirt outlined a beautiful body line due to the tightening of the waist.
Although she was on duty today, she didn't look like she had anything to clean, but was chatting with the three or four men and women around her.
"So, this guy really stared at Cao Aiqing's back for an afternoon?"
"yes, that's how he is, holding his chin, dumbfounded, almost drooling-"
Ye Jiaqi, who was sitting in front of Wen Liang, learned from He Tianran's actions of watching the goddess today, and re-interpreted it in front of everyone, and her funny behavior once again made everyone laugh.
"Hahaha Ye Jiaqi, you can't learn anything else, you learn this otaku decently, is it so obscene?"
"Absolutely, since I was at the same table with him, he hardly showed this kind of for a day, not that I want to take the initiative to learn, but I am disgusted to death, and I can't forget it after seeing it once!"
Zhang Zhifan on the side couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and said jokingly:
"I can't imagine that our classmate He is usually inconspicuous, but he is a seed of infatuation in his bones, but this matter is normal for Cao Aiqing."
Wen Liang squinted at him and asked deliberately:
"What, is Class Leader Zhang also interested in our school committee? Now that I know that there is a love rival, how do you feel? β
Zhang Zhifan was stunned like this, and suddenly said:
"Don't compare me with such a person, okay, and I don't like Cao Aiqing, a good girl is boring~"
He accentuated the tone of the second half of the sentence, as if he was deliberately emphasizing in front of someone, Ye Jiaqi followed and said:
"Yes, yes, that guy is not comparable to the squad leader, by the way, I'll show you the circle of friends that this guy usually posts, it's ridiculous......"
After that, she took out her mobile phone and publicly displayed some of He Tianran's unknown hobbies and remarks in front of everyone.
"'It is said that the second dimension is only the same, but it is nothing more than that you can't get the attention of the opposite sex in reality, you can only scratch each other's heads and pose with your friends on the Internet, and get a little psychological comfort from each other, a soul that is more filthy than a succubus, and a body that is purer than a saint~ This is the current situation of our house...... 'Hahaha, what is this!'"
"And this 'If one day the god is taken off the shelves, I don't mind ending human civilization with my own hands......! Well, R Star and Capcom can stay, after all, I haven't played the new 'Give Him Love' and 'Monster Hunt'. β
"Look at this, this one is interesting!" I'm really looking forward to a girl who can watch anime, play games, understand all my hobbies, and then come down to me one day and fall in love with me with all her heart, I can't do without me, of course, it's best to have Cao Aiqing's face~ But does such a person really exist? I don't think it exists, so instead of expecting this, let's pray for world peace.......' β
"Hahaha, this otaku is really, but fortunately, he is still a little self-aware and knows that no one will like him."
Zhang Zhifan scoffed at these naΓ―ve and absurd remarks.
"It turns out that He Tianran's inner world is like this? I really can't see it usually, but judging from these speeches, this guy should be a talker~"
Wen Liang poked his head and pulled his fingers on the screen of his mobile phone, and it was always a pleasure to peek into other people's secrets.
Ye Jiaqi opened her mouth and said, "He? Talkers? Don't be funny, just like He Tianran, he can't hold back three sentences a day! β
"You don't understand this, I was in an acting class in the training class a while ago, and our teacher happened to talk about the analysis of the character's psychology, I tell you, just He Tianran's seemingly introverted personality, once you break the ice with him and have a good relationship, and have a common language, then it will be easy to enter his heart, and will trust you immensely, because from these remarks, he doesn't want to speak, he just can't find a suitable person to talk to."
"Is that going to happen......? But it's true that I haven't seen any of his friends in reality, and I'm curious what he'll be like if he lets go. β
Listening to Wen Liang's words, Ye Jiaqi felt that it made sense to echo him.
Zhang Zhifan disagreed, "Hey, even if he lets go, what can he do?" After all, it's not an otaku.,It's boring enough to watch these things he post.,If you really talk about it.,I can't understand what he's saying at all.,After reading the whole circle of friends.,The only thing that makes me feel interesting is that he likes Cao Aiqing.γ β
"Then listening to Sister Liang's analysis just now, introverts are not without benefits, at least others are infatuated, so it seems that He Tianran should have been secretly in love with Cao Aiqing for three years......" Speaking of this, Ye Jiaqi winked at Wen Liang and deliberately asked, "Sister Liang, what do you say?" β
At that time, Wen Liang, who received thousands of favors, stroked the iconic short hair in her ear, and said confidently: "That's it? What do I say, I have to say! β
Several classmates around glanced at each other, and then looked at Zhang Zhifan with interest, and the other party immediately understood, pretending to sigh:
"It's just that if this matter is known by Cao Xuewei, I don't know if she will feel troubled, and they all say that good women are afraid of pestering Lang, not to mention ...... She doesn't seem to be very good at handling this kind of thing. β
Ye Jiaqi nodded like pounding garlic, "Yes, yes, a boy in the next class confessed to our school committee again last week, and this semester is the second time in a row, do you know what our school committee said the first time?" β
"How?"
"She told others that students should focus on studying, and then the buddy thought that she liked good grades, and took the transcript of this month's monthly exam and confessed again, as if to prove that she was really studying hard, hahahaha, that scene was laughing to death, and it was not easy to make it clear, I have to say, the position of 'study committee' was taken by Cao Aiqing as this role, and it can be regarded as the only one."
"Hey, she's so cute, isn't she?"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this anecdote, and Wen Liang, who had long been accustomed to being flattered by others, did not get the corresponding attention after speaking, and suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"So don't say it, Cao Aiqing is still a little natural when she looks like this, and it is quite compatible with the infatuation of He Tianran, an otaku."
A boy laughed and said, Wen Liang glanced at him, and said disdainfully:
"What is infatuation, this feeling is nothing more than the emptiness of the heart, looking for a sustenance in the real world, for example, just like you don't believe that there is a god in this world, but you still have to burn incense and worship some gods and Bodhisattvas when you enter the temple, you know that your prayers will not be responded to out of ten, but it is to ask for peace of mind. He Tianran's infatuation is like this, it seems to be pious, but in fact it can't withstand a little beating. β
When everyone heard this metaphor, it was quite special, but Zhang Zhifan rarely sang the opposite:
"That's not necessarily, don't they all say that introverts are more stubborn, by Ah Liang, you say this, our classmate He really has no merit, I think, long-term affection should still be counted, after all, the other party's crush is Cao Aiqing, if he changes his crush, I'm really not sure, you say yes?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you made me have a crush on Cao Aiqing for three years, I think I can do it."
"yes, that's reasonable."
"That's right, that's right, Sister Liang may not know that she has been in the training class for a long time, but Cao Aiqing is really the white moonlight of many boys in our school."
Cao Aiqing's popularity in the school, Wen Liang has always known, just a class of forty people, Wen Liang has been running at both ends of the art training class and the school for a long time, so the two really don't have much intersection, but at this moment, Wen Liang heard that her usual supporters praised another girl like this, as if she had seized her own brilliance, and her face gradually sank.
"Alas, squad leader, so do you want to talk to Cao Xuewei in advance about this matter?"
Zhang Zhifan glanced at Wen Liang silently, so he said: "...... Hiss ~ If it doesn't cause trouble, it's not a big problem, but if I tell Cao Aiqing in advance, it's ......"
At this time, Wen Liang said in a cold voice, "What's the matter?" β
"Ah, nothing ......"
Wen Liang looked around at everyone, got off the table, and said proudly: "What a big deal, you don't think Cao Aiqing's charm is really so big, right?" One look can make a man look for him to find death and life. β
Zhang Zhifan said around the corner:
"It's not this, Cao Xuewei's character is still very good, mainly because I'm afraid that He Tianran is such an obsessive crush, maybe one day he will do something stupid to hurt others and hurt himself, you don't look at the circle of friends he sent in private, and his thoughts are middle two and naΓ―ve."
Wen Liang waved his hand, raised three hands, and said indifferently:
"Oh, you think too highly of him, what kind of infatuation, he has had a crush on Cao Aiqing for three years, believe it or not, it only takes three days to take down a boy like him."
This sentence undoubtedly ignited everyone's interest, and they said:
"Of course I believe it, don't talk about He Tianran, Sister Liang, if you take the initiative with a boy, I guess no one can stand it, right?"
"Didn't He Tianran's circle of friends say it, he was looking forward to a girl who came down from the sky and liked him, you said that he was so second, Sister Liang, you are his future girlfriend, come back to him and see if he believes it or not! Hahahaha~ I died of laughter just thinking about it. β
"No, He Tianran's house is a bit of a house, but it won't be so stupid, right?"
"It's hard for others to say, but this person is Sister Liang! And she's still studying acting, maybe? β
"Believe it or not, you just say that a beautiful woman like Sister Liang took the initiative to approach you, is it beautiful in your heart! I guess He Tianran, this kid's snot bubbles have to be beautiful. β
Seeing that the topic surrounded him again, Wen Liang was satisfied, his chin raised slightly, and said:
"You wait, isn't our school orientation arranged at the end of September every year, and then you will watch, He Tianran, a person who usually doesn't speak well, personally came to the stage to send me flowers."
"Oh-"
Everyone let out a burst of excited boos, Zhang Zhifan stood beside her, and hit the railway while it was hot:
"So what happens when he gives you flowers?"
Wen Liang glanced at the male god in the school, and under the expectant gaze of everyone, she said confidently:
"I'll give it to you, do you dare to accept it?"
"Wow-"
In the classroom of the third (2) class, the excited roars of male and female voices broke out again.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"However, at the welcome party that year, nothing happened."
Zhang Zhifan, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with Wen Liang, took two wine glasses, and after filling them, he handed one of them to the girl.
"Then you should treat me as if I were not as good as Cao Aiqing."
Also at dusk, the golden light shone on the delicate face that was as cool as ever, and she put the wine to her lips and sipped it gently, this flood of memories made her mind a thousand things, as if many things had been connected, but it seemed that something important was missing.
"But why did you stop tempting He Tianran?"
"The coursework in the training course was too busy, and I was not interested when I went back to school."
Wen Liang casually found a reason to prevaricate, and after she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the man, frowned and asked:
"Why, looking at you, it seems to be disappointed? We were young and ignorant, trying to base our hypocrisy and happiness on the pain and embarrassment of others, which is not worth remembering. β
"I wasn't expecting this ......"
Zhang Zhifan took a sip of wine, then looked at Wen Liang and said affectionately:
"All I've been looking forward to is receiving your flowers."
ββ¦β¦ Then I'm sorry. β
Wen Liang stretched out the wine glass and collided with the glass in Zhang Zhifan's hand, and only a crisp sound was heard between the two.
"People will grow up, and that stupid Wen Liang no longer needs to rely on this kind of thing to prove his charm, so ...... Now I have no interest in being a junior and destroying other people's love, I will only ...... Feeling nauseous. β
"Then, does He Tianran know about this?"
ββ¦β¦ What? β
"We had planned to play him."
Just when Wen Liang was stunned, the living room didn't know who it was, and suddenly shouted:
Yoga Natural...... No, no, Young Master He is here, ouch, I finally saw you, I haven't seen you in the past few years, and it has changed a lot! (End of chapter)
