() A year ago in the summer, there were no street lights at this end of the Five Group Crossing, but now tall and bright street lights have been installed, illuminating the area.
It's not that dark at night, and when the summer heats up, more people go out for a walk. In addition, there is a constant stream of cars coming from the direction of Yudeng Town carrying guests to Feige Nightclub. The intersection of South Road in the Family Area already has a somewhat prosperous atmosphere.
Residents walking in the family area saw two boys and girls holding hands openly and standing on the street. They looked at each other in surprise and began to make uproar.
The punishment for hooliganism has only been severe for a few years, and even lovers in their twenties rarely get so openly intimate on the streets of Chongshan at this time.
The two little kids in front of me are just in high school at most, so they are too brave!
The princess came back to her senses due to the commotion around her, and found her parents and colleagues who knew her vaguely in the shocked eyes not far away. Her face turned red, but she just looked at Lu Yang but didn't want to move away.
Even though I am much older, the sense of security being led by Lu Yang has not changed in any way, and it always makes people reluctant to part with me.
"When I was in the old factory, I always thought how nice it would be to hold your hand and walk together like this when we come down."
Lu Yang didn't pay much attention to his surroundings. He smiled and took out two lucky belts from his trouser pocket and handed them over.
The princess's heart softened. She pinched her work with one hand and watched Lu Yang tie the lucky belt with the other hand. They looked at each other and smiled, looking at the hands raised together.
Both of them are wearing a lucky belt that shines pink and blue under the light. It feels really good to walk side by side like this!
The princess no longer paid attention to the surrounding sights. She took Lu Yang with her and bravely walked towards the busiest Xinjiang Middle Road in the family area.
Feige Nightclub and Xinjiang Express Hotel attracted crowds of people, and a row of small restaurants along the street were very busy at this time, with tables filling the sidewalks, eating, drinking, boxing, and having fun.
"There are so many people. In the old factory, the street lights used to be on at night, but there was no one around."
The princess lamented that the nights in the Red Shipyard were very quiet and a bit boring. She did not dare to go out at night. Lu Yang came to see her when she was the only neighbor. The two little people could have fun in the dark corridor.
But at that time, even if two people hugged each other affectionately, they would not have the heart palpitating feeling of being watched while holding hands.
"Two more factories have moved down, so there are naturally a lot more people."
Lu Yang looked at the flow of people and sighed, before long, there will be many more people who will not be able to feed their families.
"Yes, when I first came down, the fifth group was completely dark. It was even more deserted than the old factory at that time. I didn't dare to go out at all at night. It would have been nice if you were here at that time."
The princess also sighed, and finally couldn't help but tell her her wish for the past two years. After speaking, she felt shy. She tilted her head and did not dare to look into Lu Yang's eyes, and her steps were a little faster.
"There are always more and more people here in Xinjiang, but there are fewer and fewer people in the old factory. After you left, it became even more deserted at night, as if it was haunted."
Lu Yang was joking, but his tone was desolate.
Although this joke was full of reluctance to say goodbye, the princess suddenly felt a little cold all over her body. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lu Yang, but subconsciously held her hands tighter.
"Are you hungry?"
Walking to a newly opened noodle shop, Lu Yang grabbed the princess.
"Well, I'm so hungry."
The princess just laughed. She was pretentious tonight and had no intention of having dinner at all.
Lu Yang took the princess into the small noodle shop, which was a little hot, and ordered two large bowls of beef noodles, one bowl of clear soup and one bowl of red soup.
The princess put a lot of chili peppers in the bowl. After taking a bite, she was panting and sweating immediately. She wiped the sweat and looked at the "clear and white" bowl, grinning.
"You still can't eat spicy food. You are really not from Chongshan."
The princess looked down upon her, but she saw Lu Yang next to her calmly picked out a chopstick of red and spicy rice noodles from his bowl, swallowed it and chewed it carefully. Although beads of sweat soon appeared on his forehead, his expression was very calm.
, it’s not like before where I always screamed that it was so spicy.
A lot has really changed in two years...
The princess looked at Lu Yang with deep feelings. During this period of time, the ups and downs of sadness with him seemed to have just disappeared.
Just like Lu Yang said, something is different.
Fortunately, the two of them can still sit side by side and eat rice noodles, and they can still look forward to happiness tomorrow.
That would be very satisfying...
"Did you do well on the test?"
Lu Yang suddenly turned his head and asked.
"It's... not bad..."
The princess was stunned. She went to Chongxian Middle School with many classmates to take the admissions exam in the past two days. Although she couldn't see that Lu Yang was panicking, she knew that she had to work harder to catch up with the dazzling person she hadn't seen for two years.
boy.
"You...what about you?"
The princess struggled to swallow the rice noodles and asked this question that she had been struggling with recently.
"I went to take the entrance examination for No. 7 Middle School in the past two days. The written test was okay, but the listening and speaking tests were not good."
Lu Yang replied with a smile.
"Yeah……"
Princess, na na, the questions she had during this time were answered, but she still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in her heart.
Although it is not No. 129, it is actually No. 7 Middle School, a school that is said to be more difficult to get into.
Lu Yang will definitely be able to go in, and the distance between him and himself will become farther and farther...
"Study hard in high school. I hope that in college I can eat in the same cafeteria with my beautiful concubine and be surrounded by envious and jealous eyes."
Lu Yang smiled brightly, and his encouraging tone was enough to make his heart that was a little cold immediately warm up again.
"Um?"
The princess stared blankly at Lu Yang's smiling eyes, the expectation in them was so obvious.
"Don't want to? Just pretend I didn't say it."
Lu Yang curled his lips deliberately, but his thoughts became firm.
The look in the girl's eyes is so obvious that she likes him, so now he should tell her that due to fate, the direction of the two people has deviated, and it is unlikely that they will get together in the future?
It’s bullshit that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!
Even if he was destined to break the princess's heart by himself, Lu Yang hoped that it would be ten or a hundred years before she had grown up enough to bear it.
But now, Lu Yang just wants to be a fire, always hanging brightly above the princess's head, giving her enough motivation to fly higher and farther, and grow into the most gorgeous moth!
"Big bad guy!"
The princess woke up and realized that she was being teased by Lu Yang. She pouted and whined, and couldn't help but hit him with the chopsticks in her hand.
"ah……"
The princess's wrist was caught by Lu Yang, and the other person's half-smiling expression made her even more flustered. She looked away randomly, and then she saw clearly a pair of men and women looking at the door with wide eyes, and her whole body trembled suddenly.
Lu Yang realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw Wang Wei and Chen Xiaoli, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, standing at the door. Both of them had very wonderful expressions. Behind them were several middle-aged men and women who were obviously familiar to them.
"Dad...Mom..."
The princess reacted after being stunned. Her cheeks were immediately more translucent than the red soup in front of her eyes. She lowered her hand and wanted to shake it off, but was shocked to find that Lu Yang held her tighter.
"Uncle Wang, Aunt Chen, long time no see."
Lu Yang put a banknote on the table, pulled the princess over and said hello with a smile before letting go of her wrist.
"Lu Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your parents are doing well recently. I heard that you applied for No. 7 Middle School. I wish you in advance that you can pass."
Wang Wei congratulated lightly, but his eyes were filled with confusion.
The boy in front of me has inherited the gene that he once liked women. He is really a handsome boy, but he cannot do it with his own daughter.
"My parents are fine, thank you Uncle Wang."
Lu Yang smiled politely and looked at Chen Xiaoli. She, who was always out of touch at times like this, had her eyes dodged and remained silent.
"Then let's go back first."
Wang Wei took his daughter, said goodbye casually, and turned around to go to the colleagues and couples who were already talking in low voices.
"dad!"
Wang Wei didn't expect that he would be grabbed by his daughter. He looked at his colleagues in the distance who looked surprised and curious, and couldn't help but become sultry.
"Lu Yang and I have something to do and want to go back later."
The princess really didn't want to go back now, so she bravely found an excuse, although in her heart she felt it was impossible.
"So you and Lu Yang have made an appointment? What's going on?"
When Chen Xiaoli saw that her husband was about to have a seizure, she quickly stepped forward to calm the atmosphere with a smile on her face.
After moving down, Zhang Shufen, whom she originally looked down upon, got help from God and made a lot of money by opening a decoration company. Now it is said that she has gone to Nanjiang District to do business.
No matter how unconvinced Chen Xiaoli was in her heart, she had to be polite on the surface. After all, Lu Jiangan went to the Southwest Military Industry Bureau, and it was rumored that Director Guo appreciated it. If he returned home in rich clothes, her family might not be able to afford it.
"Dad, we have finished our exams, and many classmates have arranged a party tonight."
The princess was secretly surprised to find out that there might be something going on, and quickly made a date that she had rejected tonight.
"Where?"
Chen Xiaoli continued to ask, she was really worried.
"Upstairs at Zou Mengyuan's house."
The princess was so depressed that she had no choice but to tell her the location.
"Oh, come back early and be careful on the road."
Chen Xiaoli had no choice but to pull Wang Wei, who was still full of anger, towards a group of colleagues. She still had to explain.
She didn't expect to pass the test so easily. Seeing that her parents' backs had disappeared, the princess finally reacted and almost couldn't help but cheer.
"Is there a party tonight?"
Lu Yang asked unexpectedly. The princess was an activist and such activities were always indispensable.
"Ah... Zou Mengyuan and the others did it. They said they were celebrating the fact that they had finished the exam. I didn't want to go so I declined."
The princess smiled and explained casually that she had planned for tonight, and the result seemed to be pretty good.
"Oh, where are we going?"
Lu Yang didn't continue to ask. He looked around and saw that the surroundings were getting more and more lively. Such noise was not a good place for the two of them to stay.
"Is it okay to go upstairs to my house? My parents must be playing cards and won't be home before eleven o'clock."
The princess watched her parents' backs in the distance, and her eyes rolled around as she thought of a place.
The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, not to mention that the residents above the princess's house planted many grape vines and other plants, which not only provided good privacy but also kept cool at night.
"good."
Lu Yangyan smiled concisely, and the two walked towards the four groups together. Passing by the grocery store, the princess went to buy a lot of snacks and beer, insisting on paying for it herself.
"That big envelope is full of stamps. You went to No. 7 Middle School and you have to write to me every week."
The princess pulled Lu Yang, who was carrying a large bag of snacks and beer. She was in a very good mood and couldn't help but make a sweet offer.
"Yeah, okay."
Lu Yang followed the good example and thought that it would be great if the princess had a computer at home. It would be too slow to write letters back and forth.
Just when they reached the building where the princess lived, a large number of people appeared in the darkness of the building diagonally downstairs. They were both startled, but they couldn't help but look at each other after seeing everyone clearly.
