Su Zhiyuan thought that after so many years, Damei had long since forgotten about him.
Feeling moved, he put down the notebook in his hand and took out another one from the drawer. He found that many little things that he could not remember had been written by Damei in her diary.
Before he knew it, he had almost finished reading it all.
The two oldest notebooks record what happened to Damei in high school.
One of the entries in the diary was still fresh in Su Zhiyuan's memory. He remembered that that day was a tree-planting activity organized by the school. His classmates went to plant trees in the back hill of the school, but suddenly it rained heavily and everyone fled in all directions.
After getting separated from his classmates, he took Xu Damei and hid in a wooden house.
The house was very old and shabby, like the house where the forester lived in the past.
The pouring raindrops hit the roof, making a crackling sound.
Xu Damei wrote in her diary, "I have never seen such heavy rain. The water from the eaves flowed down like a transparent rain curtain. I wasn't very scared at first, but suddenly there was lightning and thunder outside.
Yes, it's too scary.
Brother Zhiyuan comforted me and said don't be afraid. The rain will stop soon and we can go down the mountain. He also said that we are so lucky to find such a room to take shelter from the rain. All the other classmates must have changed by now.
It's become a drowned rat.
I looked at the blackened wooden beams, and I was still a little worried. I was afraid that the house would collapse, but I didn't say such scary things, because if I said I was afraid that the house would collapse, Brother Zhiyuan might take me away.
Out of the cabin.
The rain fell harder and harder, and the wind blew harder and harder, causing the big trees to sway in one direction.
The sudden heavy rain isolated Brother Zhiyuan and I from other people in two different worlds.
There are only two people in this world, Brother Zhiyuan and me. I don’t want to leave, even if the house really collapses, I don’t want to leave either..."
After Su Zhiyuan read Damei's diary, he suddenly thought that she seemed to have mentioned the wooden house several times in her diary, but when he read it before, he was not sure what the wooden house Damei was talking about. Now he suddenly thought about it, eighty percent of the students were from school.
That dilapidated house in the mountains.
Thinking like this, he immediately found several other diaries, one of which was from two years ago. Damei said that she was in a bad mood and returned to her alma mater unknowingly. What she didn't expect was such a dilapidated wooden house.
Still standing there.
There is another latest one from a few months ago, in which she said she was unwilling to go on a blind date.
"My mother insisted on letting me go on a blind date, and I even said I didn't want to, but she kept nagging her, so I had to verbally agree to her, and then sneaked out of the house in the morning before she got up.
After leaving home, I stayed in the wooden house for a day. There seemed to be cicadas calling outside. It must have been my imagination. Where did the cicadas come from in this cold weather? It might also be a woodpecker? Who knows?
In this house, I can be in a daze as much as I want, and no one will disturb me..."
At this time, a crowd of people were waiting outside. They had been waiting for several hours.
Lin Yulan was restless, "Oh, why hasn't Zhiyuan come out after watching it for so long?"
"It's just past noon, and there's still a long time before the sun goes down. Aunt Lin, don't worry so much," Jinbao comforted, "Big brother looks carefully, that's why he looks at it for so long. We have to believe him. He will definitely be able to read the diary from the diary."
Find clues there."
"It's not that I don't believe in Zhiyuan, I'm afraid that my silly girl will randomly find a place to hide..."
Before Lin Yulan finished speaking, the bedroom door was suddenly opened. Su Zhiyuan walked out with a diary and said: "I probably know where Damei went. I'm going to find her now!"
"Where is it?" Lin Yulan walked forward eagerly, "I'll go too!"
Su Zhiyuan pointed to one of the diaries and said: "It was probably in the cabin behind me and Damei High School."
"Wooden house?" Lin Yulan was stunned. She had never heard Damei mention this wooden house.
Although she was confused, she still said: "Then let's go quickly..."
"Yulan, this is a problem that Zhiyuan and Damei have to deal with. You can let Zhiyuan go to Damei. Many things need to be discussed and explained clearly by the two of them. It may not be convenient for them if we are here."
After Bai Lu finished speaking, Xiao Jinbao answered, "Yes, Aunt Lin, please let my elder brother go alone."
Lin Yulan quickly understood what Lulu and Jinbao meant, and nodded, "Okay."
She patted Zhiyuan on the back, "No matter whether you get married or not, in my heart, Zhiyuan, you are already like my biological son. Even if you don't marry Damei in the end, I won't blame you."
Su Zhiyuan looked at Lin Yulan and said in a sincere tone, "Aunt Lin, please believe me."
After saying that, he left the Xu family and ran alone towards the hill behind the high school, panting up the hill.
At this time, Xu Damei was sitting in the old dilapidated wooden house, planning to stay here until Brother Zhiyuan returned to the oil field before going home.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, and the door was pushed open without warning, which shocked Xu Damei.
She looked intently in the direction of the door and was stunned for a moment, "Brother Zhiyuan?"
"Great! You are really here..."
Trying to calm down his breathing, Su Zhiyuan walked up to Xu Damei.
"Are you hungry?" He took out the meat buns he bought on the road and handed it to Damei. He didn't blame her at all. His eyebrows were half-curved and he said with a smile, "Eat something quickly."
"you……"
Xu Damei was completely confused, "Why did you..."
How did Brother Zhiyuan find himself here? Why did he know that he was hiding here?
"I know you must have a lot of questions to ask me now, but before that, please fill your stomach first, okay?"
After hearing Brother Zhiyuan's words, Xu Damei took the meat buns a little dullly and took a bite.
The two of them sat quietly until Xu Damei finished a meat bun.
She handed the remaining two buns back to Su Zhiyuan, "You can eat them, I'm full."
"Why has your appetite become so small now?" Su Zhiyuan asked with a smile, "I remember when we were in high school, you ate four steamed buns in one go and held your stomach and said you weren't full. You were better than me.
The strong second brother can still eat it."
Xu Damei blushed and said sheepishly: "That happened a long time ago. It was because I was too greedy that I was so fat. Now I have finally lost weight and can no longer eat so much."
"It's good to be chubby. As you said before, people with more meat will be more blessed..."
"That's what I'm talking about. Being too fat is not good at all. It's clumsy and ugly. No one likes fat people!"
At this point, Xu Damei plucked up the courage to speak and continued: "Brother Zhiyuan, although I don't know how you found me, what I said in the letter is my truth. I don't want to marry you anymore. You don't need sympathy."
I pity me and marry me out of responsibility."
"What if I say..." Su Zhiyuan's eyes were gentle, "I want to marry you now, not because of responsibility?"
