"Hey, Lingjing, don't get too excited, there's a car in front …"
The red light on the sidewalk was still on, and the car drove by. Lingjing grabbed Jiaming's hand and quickly walked across the street, leaving Cui Guohua standing there with a dozen Jianlibaos in his hands. He smiled helplessly.
Lingjing was usually well-behaved and easy-going, but when it came to certain things, she was also very stubborn.
Jiaming didn't tell her and Shasha much about the underworld, but he occasionally mentioned the name Cui Guohua in Yanhuang Awakening. Jiaming once said that he didn't want to get too involved with these people, so she remembered it in her heart. When she heard the name, she immediately turned around and walked away. When she crossed the street, she even complained about Just now Jiaming's attitude.
"You knew who he was from the beginning, why didn't you tell me!
I even said so much to him … "
"Uh, this … Haha, you don't have to be so nervous," Jiaming smiled, "He's a good person, and you also like the wedding dress …"
"I don't like it to that extent!"
Lingjing glared at him and glanced across the street. Then, she pulled Jiaming and quickly walked away while keeping up with Lingjing's pace. Jiaming waved his hand and gave her the middle finger.
"Hey, Lingjing, are you saying that you don't like the wedding dress to the extent that you like me?"
"Go away, I'm still angry."
"Answer me before you get angry."
"Oh … If you keep talking, I'll really get angry …" Isn't it because I like you that I like the wedding dress? She put on a slightly angry expression and whispered in her heart.
*****
When Lu Zhou and Shasha agreed to meet at the bus stop, the rain had already stopped.
According to Shasha, an uncle came to the house. Although he was only her father's cousin, they were closer than real brothers. This person recently came back from abroad, and her father seemed to want him to work in the gang.
"I don't really like him, but I have to call him uncle."
Shasha patted the water stains on the back of her ponytail as she commented on her new family. She also talked about how she saw Huang Haobing when she came out of the house.
"Are you going to your classmate's house?"
"I don't remember him having friends from there."
Shasha shook her head. "And at this time, he's not in the mood to play. He looks so dispirited. We're not very familiar with each other, so I didn't greet him."
After talking about Huang Haobing for a while, none of them took it seriously. They took the bus all the way to school, and the three of them went to the nearby supermarket to buy some things. In front of the vegetable display case, Shasha picked an old pumpkin. "Let's go home and make some pumpkin pie."
"Do you know how to do it?" Jiaming laughed.
"I'll learn from Lingjing."
"What?"
Hearing her name, Lingjing, who was picking fresh fish not far away, pushed the cart over. Shasha smiled. "Jiaming said we're going to eat pumpkin pie today."
Jiaming smiled and shrugged. Lingjing looked at the two of them, but also smiled. "Put it down. Why didn't you pick a better one?"
Seeing through her trick, Shasha stuck out her tongue. Looking at Lingjing picking pumpkins, she asked, "Should we call Sister Ya Han and Xun over later?"
"There's no need. We'll send them to school later."
Life itself was actually plain and trivial. When they had reached the level where they couldn't be more familiar with each other, love and passion would gradually fade away. Occasionally, they would go to the cinema to watch a new movie or find a good restaurant to have a meal together. There were a few times when Ling Jing or Sha Sha had a sudden impulse to make a candlelit dinner at home. However, before they could make it, they felt that it was really inconvenient to use candles. Therefore, they would just turn on the lights and eat with a smile. For the three of them who were already very close, there was no need for such deliberate romanticism. What was left was the feeling of being a family.
They went shopping together, went home together, and went out for a walk after dinner. They talked about family matters and interesting news in school. They passed by colorful neon lights and warm street lights, and the car lights passed by the road at night.
Occasionally, they would go for a walk by the beach, watch the sunset, and sit on the long embankment with the sea breeze. Shasha liked to play with the pug dog in the hands of tourists with apple cores.
When the aroma of the dishes floated out, Jiaming and Lingjing were busy in the kitchen. Shasha ran back and forth, tidying the table and setting the table. The music of the afternoon news came from the TV.
At night, the room was lit with orange light. Lingjing was sitting on the bed in her pajamas, reading a book. The TV in the living room had been turned to the lowest volume. Jiaming was changing the fire in the kitchen. Shasha, who had just finished bathing, came out of the bathroom. Sometimes, she was in her pajamas, and sometimes she was naked. She jogged into the bedroom and smiled as she crawled into Lingjing's bed.
Occasionally, when she went out at night, she would look back and see the light and shadows from the window above the game room.
That was life.
Therefore, when they went home after shopping, it was about three o 'clock in the afternoon. Lingjing was cooking the pumpkin and preparing the ingredients for the pumpkin pie. Jiaming and Shasha were cleaning and tidying up the room that had been empty for more than a day. After an early dinner and a shower, the three of them went out to school and went to their respective places.
Recently, it was said that there were city leaders coming to inspect the school. Lingjing was asked to do the blackboard bulletin. Shasha was very popular among the girls and was often called to train with the volleyball team.
Only Jiaming had nothing to do. He took the pumpkin pie to the classroom. At this time, there were not many people. Xun was sitting in the back of the classroom, reading quietly. She was wearing a new set of white casual clothes with black trim. When she sat there quietly, she looked like an elegant crane in an ink painting.
When he was about to walk in, someone ran from the side and tugged at his clothes. "Hi, Jiaming. I'm Fang Erjie from the class next door. Hello."
"Uh … Hello.
What's the matter? "
"Uh, haha …" The good-looking boy smiled embarrassedly. "It's like this. I have a letter that I want to give to Xun. But she doesn't accept other people's letters. Haha, you know, actually I …"
"Oh, I'll give it to her for you."
"Thank you."
Fang Erjie gratefully handed over the letter. Although Jiaming usually didn't get any response from Xun, at least the beauty would accept it. It was good to try his luck. When Jiaming was about to go in, Fang Erjie said mysteriously, "Hey, Jiaming, recently you … Um, be careful …"
"What?"
"It's like this. I heard that Lu Fang is going to make trouble for you. Anyway … Be careful."
As a thank you gift for helping to deliver the love letter, Fang Erjie's words were very sincere. Jiaming nodded.
Lu Fang?
Of course, he knew this person. Two years ago, when he first entered the school, Lu Jianchuan hit Lingjing's head with a football. As a result, he broke Lu Jianchuan's fingers and broke his sternum. Later, Han Gangcheng said that he wanted to fight with him one-on-one. It was Lu Fang who took the lead.
At that time, Lu Jianchuan and Han Gangcheng were already in their third year of high school. Now, they had already entered university, but Lu Fang was still in his third year of high school.
In the past two years, he didn't look for trouble with Jia Ming. It was probably because Dongfang Wan was involved in the last competition, and Jia Ming also had the background of the Huang Family. Now that the Huang Family had collapsed, in the past month, some people who used the name of the Huang Family to be arrogant and domineering had been retaliated against more than once. Now that the Huang Family had collapsed, in the past month, some people who used the name of the Huang Family to be arrogant and domineering had been retaliated against more than once.
Shaking his head with a smile, he walked into the classroom. "Here, pumpkin pie. Lingjing made it. She asked me to bring it to you. There's also a letter from her admirer."
"Thank you."
She threw the letter into the desk and stood up from her seat. She waited until Jiaming entered the classroom. Just now, she sat back down.
Although the two of them were master and apprentice, they generally didn't talk much in the classroom. However, during class, Jiaming's stationery box and schoolbag would often become the target of this Japanese girl's search. It was only when it came to stationery and books that she had a deep forgetfulness. She would always be confused and forget about things like stationery and books.
At this time, there was still some time before the evening self-study session. The sky outside was getting dark. The lights in the classroom were turned on. As usual, Jiaming leaned against the window to look at the scenery of the sports field outside. Kaoru read quietly. After a while, the Japanese girl opened the plastic bag containing the pumpkin pie and first handed it to Jiaming. "Gu Jun, do you want some?"
"I've already eaten at home …" Jiaming said. He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to chew.
A faint smile appeared on the girl's face. She then nodded and picked up a piece for herself. "I'm going to eat." She took a small bite and continued reading.
The sky gradually darkened. The sports field lit up and the classroom gradually became noisy. At some point, the girl beside him suddenly asked, "Gu Jun, do you know about love?"
Jiaming looked at her strangely. After a few seconds, Kaoru, who didn't get an answer, nodded. "I'm sorry …"
"Love … I'm not very clear about it …" After a while, Jiaming opened his mouth. "I know a little about it, but I can't summarize it for you. Hmm … In terms of theory, you can ask Shasha and Lingjing. They like to read romance novels. I only know that if you have feelings for someone, you will be willing to do something for them that you are too lazy to do. This should include things like family, friendship and so on. But if you don't want to do it, you definitely have no feelings for this person."
"Is it love between Gu Jun and … Lingjing and Shasha?"
"Half of it, maybe a little less. Haha, when we were together, they were still a little young …"
"Then …" She hesitated for a moment. "What about with Miss Zhang?"
"Half of it. In terms of love, it should be more than with Lingjing and Shasha."
Jiaming smiled. "But this doesn't mean that I'm closer to her than with Lingjing and the others … Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"I …" Kaoru thought for a while. There was no expression on her porcelain face, but she obviously didn't know how to answer this question.
"I heard from Shasha that there seems to be a scandal between you and a third grade male student named Nie Wenchao. Is it because of this?"
"Scandal?" Kaoru turned her head, her eyes flashing with confusion.
"Uh, Shasha told me two days ago that every morning after your morning exercise, you would run down from the hill behind the school and sit on the bench by the playground for half an hour. Nie Wenchao would also sit there and talk to you for half an hour. Many people saw it, so everyone thought that you were in a relationship with him.
Haha, Shasha said that Nie Wenchao is quite handsome. He likes to wear white clothes and looks very much like Jet Li. "
Kaoru thought for a moment and looked at Jiaming. "Why didn't they say that I was in a scandal with Gu Jun?"
"We, haha …" Jiaming laughed. "Probably because our images don't match. Well, let's talk about yourself. Is Nie Wenchao your first target?"
"Because Gu Jun said that I should look at others more, so every morning after practice, I would sit on the playground for a while. When I came down that day, there was a book on the bench I was sitting on. I picked it up and flipped through it. Later, the owner of the book came looking for me. It should be that person. Is his name Nie Wenchao?"
Kaoru didn't usually speak Chinese, so it was a bit difficult to pronounce. Recently, Jiaming had specially improved her pronunciation, so she didn't have a Japanese accent. However, in front of Jiaming, she still spoke slowly, word by word. Probably because she was scolded by Jiaming some time ago.
After thinking for a while, she continued.
Gu Jun, you told me to look and listen more, so I listened to him. But … there's nothing interesting about him. This classmate is a child of a rich family. He likes reading, music, quiet things, and he likes to go to classical video stores to buy expensive things. He especially likes things related to art. He likes people to say that he has good taste. But in other aspects, he tends to lean towards average spending because he also likes people to say that he's frugal. He has many weaknesses, such as vanity, flamboyance, strong self-esteem, but in fact, he's fragile. Growing up with the praise of adults, he has a sense of superiority … This is what I've observed. "
"Oh, oh …" Jiaming finished the pumpkin cake in his hand and shrugged regretfully. "Another poor unrequited love. But, it's a relatively normal thing to have an unrequited love for you. Hmm, with your temperament, you don't need to speak. Just by listening, people will misunderstand that you two are in a relationship. If you want to strengthen it a little, you can show some appropriate small actions, such as … gently fiddling with your messy hair, inadvertently looking at him for three seconds, it's best if … gently smiling, but don't look at him, you must casually give him a side profile …"
"I …" Kaoru hesitated and whispered, "I don't really know how to smile …"
"Practice slowly. You may not realize that you've smiled in front of acquaintances, such as Lingjing, Shasha, and me. However, this kind of more realistic smile has to be restrained. It's okay if you can maintain this kind of cold attitude usually, this is your image to the outside world. But when you're facing an enemy, you must be able to turn everything you have into an illusion at any time.
Don't worry, you're not an adult yet. We still have a few years … "
"Yes."
This kind of conversation eventually circled back to the training of killing and lying. Kaoru nodded in agreement. Then, she opened the plastic bag and handed it over. Jiaming leaned on the table and started to eat the second piece of pumpkin cake. He continued to watch the crowd on the field. After a while, Kaoru seemed to have thought of something. She looked at the book and stood there in a daze.
"Actually, I don't have any feelings for my father …"
"Hmm?"
"But I do have feelings for my family. I don't know why …" She said softly, as if this thought troubled her. At this time, a few figures appeared outside the classroom. "Is Gu Jiaming here?"
The person in the lead looked at Jiaming. When he saw Kaoru, he seemed to be afraid. However, a large group of people finally walked in. "Gu Jiaming, let's talk outside."
It was Lu Fang.
