11 Chance Encounters
"How old are you, take care of Lao Tzu's business, you tell me to pick it up." Zhang Zihuai said unhappily.
The young man only glanced at him faintly, and took a few steps closer, and his extremely tall stature naturally had a very violent sense of oppression.
"What are you doing...... Zhang Zihuai was forced back step by step, and for the first time he had the urge to tremble in his thighs.
He swallowed his saliva and watched his collar being easily lifted and tightened by the other party, and his face instantly turned red.
The boy next to him saw it and hurriedly ran up to help loosen it.
The hands with distinct joints and even faint cyan veins clearly look bony and beautiful, but the strength is unexpectedly great.
The boy broke for a long time, but he didn't move.
"I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up, you let go, I'll ......" Zhang Zihuai's whole face turned the color of pig liver due to poor breathing.
Seeing this, Shen Rujing stepped forward and said softly, "Don't strangle him to death." β
Hearing this, Song Xun glanced at Shen Rujing and let go of his hand.
Zhang Zihuai suddenly slipped to the ground like a dead fish, coughed violently, and took a big gulp of fresh air.
Shen Rujing was still a little worried about affecting Song Xun, she glanced at Zhang Zihuai's neck, there was a little trace, fortunately, it was not very serious, under the cover of the collar of the school uniform, it was almost invisible.
Shen Rujing was worried that the already tense relationship between Song Xun and Zhang Lan would be even worse, especially under the premise that Zhang Lan loved face.
"Brother Zihuai, are you okay?" The boy next to him hurriedly helped him up.
Zhang Zihuai stood up with strength, and the first thing he did after getting up was to bend down and pick up the exercise book.
Putting away all the exercise books, he handed them to Shen Rujing, and observed Song Xun's expression with palpitations.
Shen Rujing took it calmly, without any unbearable look on her face.
She knew that if Song Xun hadn't appeared to support her today, she would have fallen to the ground, and I was afraid that she would have to go to the infirmary.
Therefore, she does not have any sympathy for the culprit.
"Gone." Zhang Xinghuai glanced at Song Xun's expression, and there was still some indignation in his eyes.
But he was even more afraid of the momentary suffocation just now, as if he was really going to die.
He had no doubt that if he didn't beg for mercy, Song Xun would really be able to strangle him to suffocation, and then call 120.
When he was having trouble breathing, he couldn't see any mood swings in that unwavering, beautiful face that shouldn't exist in this world.
At that moment, he knew that Song Xun was real.
He doesn't admit defeat, and Song Xun really won't let go.
Zhang Zihuai left with his little brother in a gloomy manner, and he still made a note in his heart.
"Thank you so much for today." Shen Rujing thanked her very sincerely.
"Didn't you have a thank you?"
Song Xun lowered his eyes and looked at her, and asked lightly, as if he was joking, but also seemed to be serious.
Looking at those beautiful eyes, people can't feel a little bit of rejection.
Shen Rujing thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "...... What do you want? It's okay if it's not too expensive. β
I don't know which sentence angered the other party, and the expression on Song Xun's face disappeared suddenly.
Shen Rujing was a little dazed, and said tentatively, "That'...... Do you like to drink milk tea? Or do you have a favorite takeaway? β
Song Xun's face turned even colder.
He didn't look at her again, just took a stack of exercise books from her hand and dropped two words, "Let's go." β
Shen Rujing nodded, held the rest of the exercise book, and followed the other party into the classroom.
Song Xun casually put the workbook on the podium and left without looking back.
However, there were still many people who saw the two of them coming in one after the other, and the former seemed to help the latter carry something.
A bold girl came over directly and asked Shen Rujing: "Jingjing, how did I see that Song Shen sent you in, is there any story?" β
After speaking, he blinked ambiguously.
"......" Shen Rujing pondered how to answer so as not to cause trouble to both parties.
In the end, I decided to answer truthfully: "When I came down with the exercise book, I met a boy who was looking for trouble with me, and it was Song Xun who passed by and helped me." β
She focused on Song Xun's joy of helping others.
"That's right." The person who asked looked thoughtful, and at first glance, he didn't quite believe Shen Rujing's words, "When did Song Shen do a good deed every day?" β
Shen Rujing shrugged: "I don't know either." β
Song Xun is worthy of being a popular figure on campus, and soon this matter spread.
The more it spread, the more outrageous it became, and it gradually evolved into a certain class of girls chasing after Song Xun to confess.
When Qiu Xiaoshi and Shen Rujing gossiped about this matter, they had a playful expression on their faces, "I heard that this girl seems to be in our third year of high school, Jingjing, you are sitting next to Song Shen, do you see who it is?" β
Shen Rujing: "......"
The horror of the rumors can be seen.
She snorted, "yes, yes, I didn't pay much attention." β
It can only be attributed to the fact that everyone's study life is too boring, and in such a boring day, the person who is not bound and does what he wants has become the focus of everyone.
At the end of the morning competition class, it is a rare half-day vacation.
Shen Rujing rarely hesitated to go home.
remembered that when she called the night before, Shen Lihua said on the phone: "Good girl, what do you want to eat when you come back on the weekend, tell me, I will do it for you when the time comes, I have worked hard in the third year of high school." β
She suddenly became a little greedy for Shen Lihua's cooking.
When she got the mobile phone sent by the head teacher, the first thing Shen Rujing did was to send a WeChat message to her mother.
Then I packed up my things and got out of class with great anticipation.
Qiu Xiaoshi is also going home today, and when Shen Rujing swiped her card to go out of school, she happened to meet Qiu's mother riding a battery car and taking Qiu Xiaoshi home.
From afar, Qiu Xiaoshi waved at Shen Rujing openly:
"Jingjingβare you going home todayβ"
Shen Rujing formed a horn shape with her hands, and shouted back in the same loud voice: "Yes-pay attention to your safety on the road-"
Qiu Xiaoshi happily hugged her mother's waist and waved away.
Mother Qiu nodded at Shen Rujing with a smile, and Shen Rujing also nodded and smiled politely.
Looking at the distant figure of her friend, Shen Rujing's heart suddenly felt a little sour.
In fact, she also hoped that Shen Lihua could come to pick her up, but considering that Shen Lihua has been very busy with business recently, she is embarrassed to increase the burden on the other party.
After all, Shen Lihua has worked hard enough to bring her up alone. She didn't want to be a burden to the other party.
When she was a child, Shen Lihua would always proudly say to her relatives: My family never needs to be supervised by anyone to study, and when I come back from school, I will obediently move a small bench to do my homework.
At that time, Shen Lihua opened a shop in the vegetable market and was very busy every day.
The little Shen Rujing moved the table by herself, and at the door of the shop, she wrote her homework with music.
Shen Lihua was unmarried and pregnant when she was 22 years old, she did not kill the child, insisted on bringing Shen Rujing up alone, and in that era, she endured a lot of gossip.
It's not that no one has introduced anyone to Shen Lihua, who was young at the time, most of them are men with children in their second marriage.
In Shen Rujing's impression, when she was five or six years old, there was an uncle in the family, and the uncle kindly invited her to eat pineapple-flavored lollipops.
Until now, Shen Rujing still remembers that when she was playing in the community that day, she heard the lively expressions on the faces of the uncles and aunts next door, and she couldn't tell whether it was malice or pity, and asked her with a smile: There is going to be a father soon, are you afraid?
She went back and asked Shen Lihua: Do I want to have a father?
Shen Lihua's expression suddenly became much more serious, gently stroked her head, and asked, "Do you want Dad?" β
She bit her fingers and thought hard, "Will Daddy love me like Mommy?" Yes, I want to. β
Shen Lihua nodded: "Yes, if I want to find you a new father, then there is only one request, he should treat all children equally as I love you." β
Later, she never saw the uncle again.
When she was a little older, she learned the reason for the incident from her relatives:
The man asked Shen Lihua to put her at her grandmother's house, but Shen Lihua did not agree.
She insisted on marrying her youngest daughter with her.
Naturally, it didn't work.
Autumn slipped into the yellowing leaves, and there was not much left of summer.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the air is refreshing, and it is a rare good weather in Beicheng in a year.
Shen Rujing stood under the bus stop sign, patiently waiting for the 405B bus.
It was noon when school ended, and the senior high school students came out one after another, and the school gate was very lively.
The vendors who set up stalls also set up stalls, selling wolf's tooth potatoes, cold skin and cold noodles, finger cakes, multigrain pancakes, stinky tofu, and fruit sellers......
For a while, the air was filled with the rich aroma of fried food, which caused Shen Rujing to also be aroused.
She looked at her watch, it was already twelve o'clock, and she would have to get home sooner.
Just as she was hesitating whether to buy a pancake and fruit to cushion her stomach, a new and luxurious stretch car suddenly drove in front of her.
The side face of the person in the back seat was somewhat familiar, the breeze blew his short black hair, and the car window reflected the indifferent and lazy peach blossom eyes.
The other party did not wear the blue and white school uniform again, but changed into a gray short-sleeved material that was extremely soft at first glance.
The slender fingers turned the phone one after the other, and the gaze wandered, distant and cold.
The delicate lines of the side face make him look like a person in a painting, which will shatter at the slightest touch.
Sensing the sight on one side, Song Xun also lifted his eyelids and looked lazily-
Across the bus stop.
They looked at each other briefly in one car and one outside the car.
