"Wishing you happiness!"
Zhao Shuiguang woke up the next day and found over a dozen missed calls on his phone.
The phone was still shaking when a wonderful call came in.
The woman scolded him loudly and fiercely.
Xi Miao said: "Your girl can drink, do you know how I got you back home yesterday? And then told your mom that it was my birthday and we played too high, isn't this ruining my good image in Mom's heart? You just sleep and everything is fine, really... Ah, speaking of the handsome guy who gave you a kiss yesterday, what a top-notch guy!..."
Zhao Shuiguan started to get a headache and hung up the phone with Xi Miao.
When having breakfast, I couldn't help but be scolded by mom
Mr. Zhao is a branch manager of a certain bank, and Mrs. Zhao is an accounting supervisor, dealing with numbers all their lives, an absolutely traditional family.
The two of them are usually busy, but they feel that this daughter is still easy-going.
After muttering to himself, he let it go since Zhao Shuiguan said it was okay and wouldn't pursue it.
Zhao Shuiguang felt a pang of sadness when he thought of Hopes' face while drinking milk in the morning.
He let out an "ah" and dropped his chopsticks.
"What's wrong with you, child?" Zhao's mother came out of the kitchen with a spatula and saw Zhao Shuiguan's stupid face.
Zhao Shuiguan suddenly thought that she would never go to school again. She remembered the last face she saw, with golden cuffs and a golden emblem.
Suzy has two more days of school left.
After the holiday, Zhao Shuiguan honestly packed her bag and returned to school as a good student. At first, she was afraid, especially of English class, and would tremble when handing in assignments, but after a month of observation, Teacher Mo didn't seem to have anything special against her.
Zhao Shuiguan was at an age where she shouldn't have been indulging in fantasies of wind, flowers, snow and moon, but the current situation was so chaotic that she didn't even have time to fantasize about anything.
Zhao Shuiguang is not stupid, she knows she's a student, and at this critical moment, studying hard is the top priority. Although she likes to have fun and often messes around, she knows that doing well in her studies is the guarantee for a better future. She won't slack off during school.
As for Zhao Shuiguan, this time it was just a lip-to-lip collision of teeth, and in his opinion, it wasn't even a kiss. Simply put, he was taken advantage of by a drunkard, who happened to be his student.
He couldn't possibly care about a 17 or 18-year-old girl. At the level of discussing ink wash painting, he wouldn't be concerned with these things, and at most would just remember that there was a classmate named Zhao Shuiguan.
When class was over, Xi Miao called: "Hope to go back next week" Zhao Shui Guang stood in the corridor leaning against the handrail, beside him were Gao Xun and Mi Ni chatting away. Zhao Shui Guang responded with a simple "oh". Xi Miao was a bit annoyed: "Zhao Shui Guang, you really think I'm an old gossip. Can't we have a good talk? Forget it, I don't care." She hung up the phone with a loud click. "What's wrong?" Gao Xun asked, and Zhao Shui Guang finally came back to his senses. Xi Miao was really angry, her voice so loud. Mi Ni laughed and said: "You've met your love rival, be honest!" Zhao Shui Guang said helplessly: "What's going on? Did I owe money? Usury?" The three of them burst out laughing as they walked back to the classroom.
Zhao Shuiguang thought of that sentence "Now you both have changed into what?" She never remembers what it was like before.
Fang and Minnie went to the garage to get the car out, and from a distance they saw familiar people.
Ever since receiving Xi Miao's phone call, my heart has been restless.
It's been a long time since he was waiting at the school gate like this, chatting with friends and greeting them. When she approached, he would immediately turn around and smile: "Let's go!" After walking for over ten steps, he took over the steering wheel of the car. He had complained before: "This is so much trouble!" She said: "It's not easy to be discovered this way." He hooked his hand and pinched her ear: "You're just that miserable" And smiled mischievously: "Only an idiot wouldn't notice!"
Middle school romance is always like a guerrilla war, afraid of being discovered by teachers, known by parents, and pointed out by classmates, so they try their best to avoid being together in public, carefully protecting each other, but... ultimately can't resist the passage of time.
Today, he walked up to her and took over the dragon head, turning around and saying: "Let's go!"
Zhao Shuiguang was still thinking about what to say, but after hearing that he suddenly didn't know what to do.
As she walked, she thought carefully about this hope that was now too cunning. No awkwardness, no small talk, no quarrels, just a pretence that nothing had ever happened. She couldn't even get him to admit it by being straightforward and saying something.
Forget it, just treat him as an old friend who will also be missed.
"Is Canada fun?" She thought for a moment before asking,
Xī wàng lèng le, dàn dàn de shuō: "zài nǎ doū yī yàng." Yǒu diǎn kū xiào bù dé, zhè gè zhāo shuǐ guāng, hái shì yī yàng tuō xiàn, zhèng cháng rén dū huì wèn wèn nǐ hái hǎo ma? Shén me shí hòu zǒu ā zhī lèi bā.
There was a girl passing by, and I vaguely heard: "Isn't that the hope of Shida Fuzhong?" "He was..." A murmur.
Zhao Shuiguang looked up at Hope's profile, her unruly eyebrows and nose, this is everyone's hope.
The boy who looks very proud, actually has two small tiger teeth when he smiles.
She asked: "Why go to No. 10 Middle School?" Turning her head to look at her, such eyes were so familiar.
"She said: 'It's been too long, let's change places.' This is true."
He really wanted to ask: "You...really want to forget everything?"
There are two schools, one in the south of the city and one in the north. Both are excellent schools, so students usually don't choose to leave their original school when they enter high school. But she came here, leaving behind the place where they shared memories together. He asked around, but even the girls who were close to her in class didn't know how to contact her.
It's really frustrating, but there's nothing I can do about it since he left first.
This time he came back, he wanted to see Zhao Shuiguan, but thinking that she didn't want him, a 17 or 18-year-old boy, with his pride, not because he couldn't lower himself, but because he was afraid she would forget him.
"He got on" and he straddled it, a tall boy of over 1.8 meters riding a lady's bicycle with his back slightly arched, looking especially funny.
Zhao Shuiguan was still hesitating, and hoped: "If you don't come up now, I'll take your bike and schoolbag and they'll all be gone!"
She got on the bus with a sullen expression.
Two people walked in silence all along the way.
Actually thinking of the same thing, in junior high school he also rode a bike with her, she sat up and said: "Recently got fat again. Heavy!"
Every time she says she wants to lose weight, he makes a fuss about eating something and drags her along.
"You didn't change your home too, did you?"
"What? No!" she shouted.
The two of them laughed. There's still something that hasn't changed after all.
He slowly told the story of going to Canada, in the first year, a small brown bear was found in the forest next to the school, and the townspeople quickly released it back because the mother bear must be nearby. He said that two years ago, he saw the aurora on the CAO field after leaving the library. He said that there is a fat lady who walks her dog every early morning next to his house. She listened quietly, this is the real hope.
They stopped in front of her house and neither of them got out of the car.
Zhao Shuiguang said from behind: "Thank you."
It's not thank you for bringing me here, but thank you for accompanying me through the awkward times we spent together, wandering outside of dry schoolwork, another wonderful scene. Thank you for your selfless support and care for me, thank you for letting me know a world of emotions I had never experienced before. Thank you for coming back to see me, bravely facing our past selves. Thank you...for growing up with me.
She knew hope was understanding her thank you.
Hoping there would be no turning back, he said "Xiao Guang", three years later she heard him call out to her again and suddenly had an urge to cry
"He said: 'In the future, I mean later on, no matter what happens, as long as you need my help, I will come immediately wherever I am and whatever I'm doing!'"
Zhao Shuiguang stretched out his hand from behind and hugged Hope, saying: "Hope, you're happy!"
This was her last hug of hope, years later when she thought of hope, she would smile warmly, it was a young man's stubborn promise, although after one or two years in college she realized that this was an impossible promise, since we are not together, even contact is redundant, unable to repay you, how can I still ask you to do something for me.
