Tong Wei was indeed somewhat interesting, but for Tan Lin, her impression of Tong Wei was only at the level of "interesting" when she met him in the morning.
There is no other reason.
Tan Lin deeply understands the truth that time should be wasted on meaningful things.
On the way to school in the early morning, she was pushing a car slowly. As for the encounter with Tong Wei, it was a trivial incident. To be precise, it should be regarded as an episode. For her,
, it’s the same for Tong Wei.
Later, on the way, they didn't say anything more to each other. The noisy boys a few meters in front also shouted and pushed to get up in the noisy chaos, laughing and joking as they pushed the cart forward.
She also pushed the car slowly towards the school gate.
Behind her were Tong Wei, who was a little far away, and Gu Yue, whom she didn't quite recognize. Occasionally, one or two laughter would come from behind.
After entering the school gate, she arrived at the parking lot where her classes were. After parking the car, she looked back and saw two people pushing the car towards the parking lot at the north end. She was slightly startled, and then raised her feet.
We walked towards the main street of the school.
When she walked onto the main road, Tan Lin turned around and looked towards the parking lot where her class was located. From the dim street lights on campus and the slightly bright light, she vaguely saw that the two people had arrived with their carts.
The northernmost position is against the wall.
Tan Lin hesitated for a moment, then walked forward.
It's not placed with hers. I don't know if it's Tong Wei's intention, Gu Yue's intention, or the two of them have long been accustomed to the original parking position.
I am used to parking my car south of the center, close to the main road. The reason is very simple. It does not disturb those who arrive later, and it is also convenient for me to leave first at night. Besides, I have to go to the T-junction to repair my car at noon.
The other two people were different from her.
Yes, how could it be the same?
Tan Lin turned her head slightly and looked towards the large playground on the left. Someone was passing by the playground. In the teaching area not too far ahead, the lights of several classrooms were already on.
She was a little later than usual.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up my pace a little and walked forward.
Later, she read, memorized, and did exercises as always. Everything was the same as before. In that same situation, Tong Wei never came to see her. Naturally, she never came to see Tong Wei either.
She had no reason to go to Tong Wei. All she cared about was her current grades and the results of the high school entrance examination. She had a long-established goal in her heart, she was going to Lingnuo Middle School!
Oh no, she went to Lingnuo Middle School two years ago, and now she is going to Yunling Middle School!
Apart from that goal, irrelevant people and things are not worthy of her attention or attention.
Just like that, in a blink of an eye, the midterm exam was over, and it was Saturday, a holiday.
Time seemed to pass very quickly, and then it seemed to pass very slowly. When I returned to school, it was already Monday morning.
It was mid-April, and the sky broke much earlier. When I went out at five o'clock, the sky was already bright. In that early morning light, as we walked all the way, the air around us was filled with the fresh smell of grass.
Coincidentally, I just walked through the south gate of the Grain and Oil Management Office. Suddenly, I felt very relaxed when I stepped on the car. When I stepped on it again, I found that the pedals were spinning and no longer driving the wheels.
Then I heard a different sound from the car.
This? Tan Lin hesitated for a moment, got out of the car, and pushed the car towards the side of the road. Unexpectedly, the car fell off the chain.
After parking the car, she looked at the section of chain hanging down from the chain covered by the plate cover. Tan Lin looked left and right, walked towards the grass on the side of the road, looked twice, picked up two dry branches and walked away.
Returned to the car.
He picked up the hanging chain with a dry branch, shook it left and right a few times, clapped his hands gently, threw the branch into the grass on the side of the road, and pushed the cart forward.
I just rode on it. After walking a few meters, my feet felt relaxed again. I stepped on it for a few times. When I lowered my head, I felt dizzy. The chain had fallen off again!
Tan Lin got out of the car, parked the car on the side of the road, returned to the place where it was parked, picked up the discarded branch, and shook the chain up again as before.
After shaking it up, she did not ride forward immediately. Instead, she shook the car a few more times in place to confirm that it was finally normal. Then she turned to the left side of the car to prepare to push the car. After thinking about it, she turned back again.
, picked up the dry branches thrown into the grass and put them in the basket in front of the car.
Sure enough, after only ten rides, the chain fell off again.
What's going on? Tan Lin got out of the car, looked at the hanging chain, and hesitated again when she reached for the dry branches in the basket.
Could it be that the bike chain is slipping? Otherwise, how could it fall off?
Suddenly, she remembered that when she was repairing the bike chain two months ago, the repairman told her that the chain was a little old and would need to be replaced after riding for more than a month at most.
She listened and didn't take it seriously. She just smiled and nodded.
She thought to herself, as a car repairman, she naturally wants to have customers to spend money on. After all, she still knows which cost is higher, repairing a car chain or replacing a car chain.
Repairing a car chain takes a long time and is cheap, but replacing a chain is much more expensive. After all, it is a new one.
However, she thought at the time that the master was just trying to get her to get a new chain. Now it seems that she was overthinking it. What the master said did make sense, and he did not mean to make her spend more money.
There are indeed specialties in the art industry!
Tan Lin looked at the small car shop ten meters ahead on the left, but it wasn't open yet. Well, let's visit again at noon today.
Fortunately, there is a T-junction leading to the school ahead. It takes five to six minutes or at most eight or nine minutes to reach the school.
Tan Lin looked at the road ahead on the right, breathed a sigh of relief, and moved to the side of the road to clear the huge road in the middle.
It's getting light now, and you can see the school wall 300 meters away to the right.
Let's go, it's still early.
I threw away the dry branches in the car basket, passed the car repair shop that was not yet open, and turned onto the 300-meter uphill road to the school.
Not far away, I heard talking and laughing and the sound of riding behind me.
Tan Lin lowered her head slightly and glanced at the watch on her left wrist: Five twenty-eight!
After taking a few steps forward, I heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground next to me. The next second, a sound that was a little crisp and low, but very clearly heard came over.
"Tan Lin?"
Huh? Tan Lin paused and looked to the left and back.
This is really strange, who is this?
You can actually recognize her from behind?
She just cut her hair that spread to her shoulders short yesterday!
