I gently wiped the tears on Zhao Yanyan's face with my hands, and said to her in a firm tone: "I promise you! I will never leave you!"
Zhao Yanyan and I walked out of the cinema holding hands and cuddling like other couples.
"Liu Lei." Zhao Yanyan called my name in a low voice.
"Huh?" I said.
"Do you think I'm casual?" Zhao Yanyan suddenly stopped and looked into my eyes and said.
"No!" I said with great certainty. Of course I didn't think so. In my previous life, I could be said to have silently watched her grow up. Am I still unclear about what she is like?
Zhao Yanyan looked at my eyes with no hint of hypocrisy, finally relaxed and said to me in a soft voice: "You know, Liu Lei. Today is the first time I let a boy take me home.
The first time I lied to my family for a boy, the first time I ran out to watch a movie with a boy, the first time I held hands with a boy, the first time I cared so much about someone who was not my relative, the first time—
—I never thought before that I would take the initiative to tell a boy I have only known for a week that I like you. You have taken away too many firsts from me, Liu Lei. Although I don’t know why, I
I just like you."
Although I already knew what Zhao Yanyan said, but when she said it again, I couldn't help but feel inexplicably moved in my heart.
Zhao Junsheng heard that his father's secretary had something to do today and could not come to pick up his daughter, so he asked his driver Lao Gao to pick up Zhao Yanyan. But for some reason, another boy who was close to his daughter appeared.
This old man, why haven't you called me yet? Zhao Junsheng cursed in his heart. He picked up the phone on his desk and was about to dial when the phone rang.
"Hey, Mr. Zhao, I'm Lao Gao!"
"Lao Gao! How are you doing over there? I was just about to call you."
"Mr. Zhao, I saw the young lady and the boy leaving the cinema hand in hand!"
"Are you sure?" Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment and asked.
"Well, I'm following them in the car now."
"Where are they going now?" Zhao Junsheng asked.
"It seems that we are heading towards your father's house. Do you want to find a few people to warn that kid?" Lao Gao asked.
"We don't need to do this for now. We'll wait and see what the situation is. But you should hurry up and find out about that boy's identity and family background in the next few days." Zhao Junsheng ordered.
"Okay! But that guy doesn't look like a rich man. He even took a bus to take the lady home. The movie she just watched was also paid for by the lady!" Lao Gao muttered.
Neither Zhao Yanyan nor I mentioned taking a bus, we just kept walking in the direction of Zhao Yanyan’s grandfather’s house.
When we were approaching a villa, Zhao Yanyan stopped and said to me, "I'm going back. If I go further, those people will know me."
I nodded, but didn't let go.
"Liu Lei, I really have to go back, otherwise grandpa will definitely scold me!" Zhao Yanyan looked at me with resentful eyes and said.
I still didn't let go.
"Hey -" Zhao Yanyan sighed softly, gritted her teeth, broke away from my hand and ran forward quickly.
Before she was halfway through, Zhao Yanyan stopped, turned around, and said to me with tears on her face: "Liu Lei, I miss you again, can you hug me again?" After saying that, she ran over and threw herself on me.
's arms.
After a long time, we separated. Zhao Yanyan glanced at her watch, yelled "Oops", and immediately ran towards the villa without looking back.
I watched Zhao Yanyan's retreating back, and I knew that on this day, history had truly changed, and the trajectory of my life had also shifted.
What kind of house is this? It's so high-end, and there's actually a guard standing guard at the door?! Subconsciously, I felt something was slightly wrong, but I didn't dare to step forward to check, for fear of being discovered.
I wandered around for a long time and finally found a bus that could take me home and got on it.
After I got home, my parents were very anxious and kept asking me why I came so late. Especially my dad, who immediately became serious when he saw me coming back and asked me: "Where did you go after class? Yes.
Didn’t you go to the game arcade again?”
When I was in junior high school, I often sneaked away to play in the game arcade after school. As a result, my dad didn't trust me. Alas! I was such a failure as a person before.
Of course, I had already made up the reason for my late return. Just like Zhao Yanyan, when I told my computer teacher that I was very talented and was planning to let me represent the Children's Palace in the national competition, my father immediately became overjoyed and quickly told my mother
He went to the kitchen to heat up the food, and even took out a can of beer from the refrigerator, saying he wanted to celebrate.
"How about it! Let me just say that my son is not an ordinary person!" My dad took a sip of beer and said, "In the future, he will be just like his dad and me, a master of technology!"
"What do you call your son?" My mother was unwilling after hearing this: "I gave birth to my son, what does it have to do with you!"
"What you call it has nothing to do with me? Could you have given birth without me?" My dad couldn't hold back his words when he got excited.
My mother quickly pinched my father's arm and said, "The child is here, don't talk nonsense!"
My dad laughed a few times, raised his glass and continued drinking.
These two people still treat me as a child who doesn't understand anything. In fact, I know more than them. Although I am still a junior brother, both psychologically and physically.
"Son, don't listen to your dad. Don't be like him in the future, find a bad job and earn two cents a month. What is enough for you?" my mother said to me.
"What's wrong with me? Are you still the same?" my dad asked.
"Huh, it's because I also work in a factory that I regret finding you. If I had accepted Xiao Zhao's proposal, I would have been out of trouble by now!" My mother said to my father angrily. This sentence was just a joke.
I heard it more than once. Every time my dad made a mistake, my mom would use this sentence to criticize him. In fact, I know best in my heart that my mom still loves my dad.
"Who is Xiao Zhao? At that time, he was just an unemployed young man who had transferred from the army! He was helping in our factory!" my father said disdainfully.
"What's wrong with the unemployed youth? I read the newspaper two days ago, and someone named him one of the top ten outstanding private entrepreneurs in the city!" My mother continued to present the facts.
"Then don't I still have a good son? He will definitely bring glory to me in the future!" My dad finally used his trump card and said proudly.
"Huh! I just do it for my son's sake. Otherwise, what do you think? I would have divorced you long ago!" When my mother heard my father mention me, she also had a smile on her face.
In my previous life, I did bring glory to my parents. My father straightened his back wherever he went, and often told others that my son was studying at Huaxia University! But later he passed away without receiving any glory from me.
I have decided in this life that I will not let this happen again. (To be continued)
