Chapter 76: World 5 Chapter 73
Chapter 73.
Continuous days of rain have caused the temperature to plummet, heading towards winter unknowingly. Occasionally, a gust of wind carrying drizzle will blow, causing people to unconsciously zip up their collars.
Shen Zhaozhao stood at the subway entrance holding an umbrella. The umbrella covered her face. She looked down at the muddy canvas shoes on her feet and stood on tiptoe in boredom. She exhaled into the palms of her hands to warm up her hands.
Many people poured out of the subway entrance, and Shen Zhaozhao followed them. People were holding umbrellas and it was difficult to see who was who.
Shen Zhaozhao is very familiar with this road, because she used to go out for a stroll when she was in a bad mood. Shen Zhaozhao, who had recovered her memory, looked at the surrounding streets and shops, feeling nostalgic about revisiting her old place.
She can be nostalgic for this street she has walked through many times, and she can stop and look at the plane trees on the roadside. These are extremely common things, but Shen Zhaozhao thinks these are worth taking a look at in person today.
Shen Zhaozhao wants to spend her time with them more than the people at home.
Shen Zhaozhao stepped on the newly fallen autumn leaves, raised her umbrella and looked at this chestnut cake shop. This is a time-honored shop that has been open for many years. It is the childhood memories of most people.
"Ah, it's you, little girl. It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time." The granny who sells chestnut cakes pushed up her reading glasses, stood up from the wicker chair with a smile, and naturally gave Shen Zhaozhao something to wear on her hands. The flavors that I often buy are placed in heavy paper bags on the glass cabinet. The granny said with a smile: "You don't have to pay. I'll treat you to food. I'm very happy to see you suddenly."
Shen Zhaozhao put away her umbrella, talked to her affectionately, and said, "Granny Luo, are you still in good health recently?"
"Well, now that my granddaughter is taking care of me, don't worry. As for you, have you been very busy these days? I haven't seen you here to buy chestnut cakes."
Shen Zhaozhao's eyes suddenly softened, and the smile on her face became thicker. She was already beautiful, and the way she smiled was even more heart-warming.
Shen Zhaozhao explained: "I have been busy recently, but I have finished my work, so I came to see you, Granny Luo."
The chestnut cake shop's granny's surname was Luo. Shen Zhaozhao would buy some when she passed by this road after get off work, and she became familiar with her after going back and forth.
Granny Luo was lying on the glass cabinet, like an old naughty child. Her gray hair could not stop her liveliness. She said: "Little girl, it looks like the Red Luan star has moved. You want to come here. It's been a while since I last saw you, and you've also encountered something good of your own."
After all, Granny Luo is older and has been in business for many years, so she will find that Shen Zhaozhao's change is not difficult. Moreover, Shen Zhaozhao always smiles forcefully and looks tired every time she comes to the store. She is obviously young and energetic, but she is lifeless, as if she has carried something on her back. It was a heavy mountain that Granny Luo wanted to solve, but she felt that Shen Zhaozhao would hate her if she interfered too much, so she swallowed her nagging.
Shen Zhaozhao also followed her example, nodded happily and said, "Yes, I met the person I like."
"Then you have to be good."
Shen Zhaozhao's smiling eyes turned into crescent moons, "Yes! I will definitely do it."
Granny Luo thought for a while and put another paper bag for Shen Zhaozhao, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the person you mentioned. This is a small gift from grandma, to you. I have to thank you, little girl. You have to accept the care you have taken for my business over the years. Don't refuse me. Oh my, I don't know how long this store can be open. My granddaughter is busy with her career and is doing very well, and I am not willing to let her take over from me. Maybe it won't be long before I have to rent it out."
"Granny, you can invite someone to come and see the store."
"When I get old, I don't want to worry about so many things. I just enjoy my life with my granddaughter." Granny Luo is not so particular. People have lived a lifetime, so why bother to worry about it again when they are old.
Shen Zhaozhao put the hot chestnut cake into her backpack, "Then I will thank my granny for the gift."
"Next time, bring your wife to my place to have a look. Granny also very curious."
Shen Zhaozhao looked around and whispered with a guilty conscience: "Granny, please don't mention her. Cao Cao will be here soon."
"Did you have a fight?"
Shen Zhaozhao shrugged her nose and explained: "It's not really a quarrel, it's just that I got angry unilaterally and ran away from home."
"Hahaha, why are you being so petty? You are not afraid that she won't be able to find you."
Granny Luo's words woke up Shen Zhaozhao.
Her beautiful eyes widened, she covered her head and said in a panic: "Oh no, I forgot to leave a way out for myself."
What if she really can't find me?
Granny Luo laughed out loud at Shen Zhaozhao's cute actions. She pointed at her and said, "Then you are miserable."
"Granny, are you gloating about my misfortune?" Shen Zhaozhao lowered her shoulders bitterly. Just because of a thought, she put herself on the fire. What a pig's brain. Why didn't she think of leaving a way out? At the very least, it's okay to tell a little bit about where she is going.
When she finished writing that post-it note, she was cool and proud, but now she is... as embarrassed as a little wild cat with no place to hide on a rainy day.
"Granny, I have to go! This plan of running away from home has changed!"
Granny Luo couldn't stop laughing. She looked lovingly at Shen Zhaozhao's back holding the umbrella, and said with concern: "Be careful on the road, kid."
This is not a quarrel and running away from home. It is clearly the love between young lovers. Is this the right word? I learned it from my granddaughter. I have to say that the young people now are completely different from the older generation. It is good to be more lively. It is really enviable.
"Goodbye granny!"
Shen Zhaozhao held an umbrella and turned around to wave to Granny Luo. She wiped her reading glasses and said with emotion: "Every girl should smile to be more beautiful."
Granny Luo was happy for Shen Zhaozhao when they met again during this period. The child who had no brightness at all is now shrouded in sunshine, which means that the problem that trapped her has been solved. This is certainly worth being happy for Shen Zhaozhao.
People, what they fear most is that there will be no change.
Shen Zhaozhao quickly turned on her mobile phone. Since she came up with this idea last night, she got up very early. The woman next to her was so charming even if she was asleep. Shen Zhaozhao did not dare to wake her up, so she can move the pillow to smell the fragrance of Tangli.
They all use the same shampoo, but the smell of Tangli always affects Shen Zhaozhao.
This confused Shen Zhaozhao, and she felt like a puppy, constantly sniffing around Tangli.
As for the sticky note, Shen Zhaozhao knew it was fake, but she still felt uncomfortable in her heart. For a moment, she almost changed her mind and didn't want to act like a monster, but she quickly rejected it.
In the end, Shen Zhaozhao stuck the post-it note on the bedside. It was conspicuous enough that Tangli could spot it at a glance as soon as she woke up.
According to her understanding of Tang Li, Tang Li will definitely get angry when she sees that post-it note, and then search for her like crazy, just like the plot of the novel, vigorous. It is best to hear Tang Li cry and say: Zhaozhao, I can't live without you!
Whenever Shen Zhaozhao thinks of this, her heart beats faster. This feeling of being needed by Tangli was simply too exciting.
So when Shen Zhaozhao saw the extremely quiet mobile phone, she made an incredible sound and said, "Huh? What's going on! Didn't Tangli see the sticky note I wrote? Or maybe she can't read!"
Her eyes turned red with grievance, and she held the handle of the umbrella tightly with her left hand. She felt that she was no longer a stray wild cat with nowhere to go, but a little wild cat that was adopted and then abandoned. She almost cried out pityfully.
Shen Zhaozhao squatted half-crouched, covering herself with an umbrella. She squatted next to the sycamore tree, opened WeChat without giving up, poked Tangli's profile picture hard, and cursed: "Bad woman! I ran away from home, but you didn't even come to me, what do you want?"
She obviously likes me, but she refuses to go beyond the boundaries and insists on waiting for me to regain my memory.
But I have done so many stupid things, how can I tell Tangli that I have become normal! There is no way to speak at all. If I do, I will die in society.
She mistook a stranger for her girlfriend, and not only that, she also took advantage of her in various ways. Fortunately, she developed feelings, otherwise she would definitely call the police to arrest her.
So, I really can't say anything.
All adults know why Tangli was invited yesterday, right? But it's hard not to admire people for being able to stick to their own positions.
If I had her perseverance, I wouldn't be able to get into any good university. But the key is that I am not Tangli, so I can't do that.
Since she won't take the move, use another move.
As a result, she still didn't accept the move!
Shen Zhaozhao was dejected. She felt like there was a dark cloud above her head. The sky was never clear. It rained wherever she went. She was so unlucky.
She looked at her cell phone, which had no movement at all, and suddenly she no longer wanted to contact Tang Li.
She originally thought that Tang Li would use her phone like crazy, and she even turned it off on purpose, but now it seems like it was completely unnecessary.
Shen Zhaozhao looked at the raindrops falling from the umbrella, pursed her lips, stood up in a daze, and planned to take a taxi to the hotel.
"I don't want to go back anyway."
After Shen Zhaozhao recovered her memory, she never thought about going back to her original home, because in her heart it didn't belong to home at all, and calling that place "home" would only be an injustice to this beautiful word.
That place is completely a devil's cave, and it will only bring nightmares to her.
Shen Zhaozhao stood on the side of the road to stop the car. She raised the umbrella slightly, revealing her picturesque face.
But on rainy days, all the traffic comes and goes in a hurry, and it's hard to wait for a taxi even if you wave at them. Their business is good, and there is no shortage of people taking taxis on rainy days.
Shen Zhaozhao looked back and forth without suucces.
"If I had known earlier, I would have chosen online taxi-hailing. Why would I take my anger out on my mobile phone when I'm angry at Tangli?"
Shen Zhaozhao reluctantly took out her mobile phone again, no longer dissing it. She thought it was useless before and put it in her bag. Unfortunately, in this era of rapid development, mobile phones are really inseparable.
Suddenly, a white car stopped and the window slowly lowered. The man whistled frivolously and said, "Hey, isn't this Miss Shen Zhaozhao?"
When she heard her name, she looked up suddenly and saw a face that she had seen in photos before. She had seen it once before and was scolded by her.
This person is the lingering Zhang Pingfan.
"Why you?"
Zhang Pingfan raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Why are you here?"
"I can be wherever I like. Does that have anything to do with you? Mr. Zhang."
Seeing the thorn in her words, Zhang Pingfan couldn't help but shake his head, and looked Shen Zhaozhao up and down. Thinking of the previous introducer's description of Shen Zhaozhao, and looking at the woman in front of him, he could only say that the real person does not show her appearance.
At the beginning, the introducer told Zhang Pingfan that Shen Zhaozhao was a docile woman who was filial to her parents and would never disobey her parents. She was a good girl who was praised by her neighbors. Such a gentle and kind-hearted Shen Zhaozhao is most suitable for the passionate prodigal Zhang Pingfan, because even if something strange is discovered after getting married, Shen Zhaozhao will only swallow this bitterness in her stomach and will never make the choice of divorce.
Furthermore, even if she wanted a divorce, her parents would not agree.
After all, both Zhang Pingfan and his parents knew that Shen Zhaozhao's family background was ordinary, and she just wanted to climb high because of his good looks. This was all obvious. Zhang Pingfan didn't reveal it, but it didn't mean that he didn't know.
That day, he was thinking of letting Shen Zhaozhao go. He couldn't let Bai Yueguang Tangli see him on a blind date with another woman. In order to show his gentlemanly demeanor, Zhang Pingfan asked Shen Zhaozhao's contact information. This was also because Shen Zhaozhao is beautiful, otherwise he wouldn't bother to talk to her.
Shen Zhaozhao, whom Zhang Pingfan regarded as a beauty in a vase, had the audacity to choose not to answer the phone. At that time, Zhang Pingfan asked the restaurant manager to check the reservation and found that people came and left. This was the first time in his life that he Zhang Pingfan, who is a womanizer, has taken note of this grudge very well. Don't talk about falling in love and getting married with her, just have fun while you're at it! He is not willing to find this kind of woman.
The subsequent meeting was something Zhang Pingfan couldn't even imagine.
Even though some time had passed, Zhang Pingfan still couldn't let go of the unwillingness he felt at that time.
Zhang Pingfan rested his head on his hands. It was a good idea to go out this time. Fortunately, there was a traffic jam on the other road and he took this route instead, otherwise he wouldn't have met her.
Zhang Pingfan tugged at the corners of his lips and said with an evil look in his eyes: "Shen Zhaozhao, I advise you to leave Tangli as soon as possible for a money-worshiping girl like you. I have seen a lot of money-worshiping girls, but this is the first time I have seen someone like you. Don't play any bloody tricks on me to lose your memory, who are you kidding?"
As soon as Shen Zhaozhao heard that he wanted her to leave Tangli, the anger in her heart instantly found a place to vent. She raised a hypocritical smile and mocked: "Zhang Pingfan, admit it, you are just jealous that I am here. You envy me and think that I got a woman you can't have, so you insult me as if you have lost your mind, thinking that I will be cowardly and leave Tangli. But, I'm sorry, why should I choose to leave Tangli because of your nonsense?"
Shen Zhaozhao walked forward holding an umbrella, deliberately letting the rainwater on the umbrella flow into his car, causing trouble for him. Shen Zhaozhao said again: "Why don't you admit that I can please Tangli more than you? What about your liking? I don't want to argue with you about this issue. From the beginning, the two of us were not on the same level, and you are not worthy of her."
She was very happy and very satisfied with her performance. In the past, she was the only one who was scolded, but now she can stand up straight and retort back.
Shen Zhaozhao winked at him and smiled particularly seductively.
Zhang Pingfan pulled out a tissue and wiped the rain-soaked areas on his body, glared at Shen Zhaozhao fiercely, and said, "I really want Tangli to see your face, how do you need her protection? You are just a crazy woman! That day Tangli asked me not to stimulate you, but I just wanted to stimulate you!"
Zhang Pingfan couldn't wait to see the scene of Shen Zhaozhao covering his head and screaming. He must be very relieved, so he spoke freely and said: "Shen Zhaozhao, I will let you be a sensible person. There is no romantic relationship between you and Tangli. She just came back from abroad. She has not had any romantic relationships and has always kept herself clean. I am her classmate! I often inquire about her affairs in private. How could I not know about a real relationship? Don't talk about foreign countries. In love, she was a top student in high school and cared about nothing but studying."
He stared closely at Shen Zhaozhao's expression and found that her smile disappeared and he spoke more and more enthusiastically. He then said: "So she has never been in a relationship. You are using your amnesia to mistake her for some bullshit girlfriend. Let me tell you Shen Zhaozhao. I am your serious blind date, you should be polite to me instead of refuting me like you just did."
Zhang Pingfan was looking forward to Shen Zhaozhao's collapse. Her smile was gone. Is she still far from crying? That's certainly not far.
However, Zhang Pingfan saw Shen Zhaozhao smile again after hearing his words, even brighter than before. It was hard not to be shocked by her beauty, and even Zhang Pingfan was stunned.
"..You..Why are you smile?"
Shouldn't you cry?
Shen Zhaozhao held an umbrella, smiled and shook her head, showing a rare kindness to him. Shen Zhaozhao couldn't control the urge to raise the corners of her mouth, and said, "Thank you."
Zhang Pingfan didn't see the scene he wanted to see, but Shen Zhaozhao was still in the mood to smile.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, you big-headed ghost. Hey, are you listening to me?"
Shen Zhaozhao nodded obediently, "Yes, yes, that's why I want to thank you."
Zhang Pingfan was confused and said: "Shouldn't you collapse? I'm stimulating you now."
"Stimulation? No." She tilted her head, her bright eyes full of tenderness, and she added: "It was because of what you said that I realized that I was Tang Li's first love. Hey hehe, I feel so happy."
"....."
Zhang Pingfan clenched his fists. He felt that the person who was about to go crazy was not Shen Zhaozhao, but him.
"I'm such a fucking bitch, why would I bother you when I have nothing to do?" He raised the car window, not wanting to see Shen Zhaozhao again.
But Shen Zhaozhao pointed to the opposite side and said in an innocent tone: "The traffic police are here, you seem to be fined."
The next second, someone knocked on Zhang Pingfan's car window, and the traffic police said: "Illegal parking, please show your driver's license."
"...."
Shen Zhaozhao shrugged her shoulders and warned: "Be careful next time and don't do it again."
Her mood improved again, and she walked forward humming a tune under her umbrella. Even if Zhang Pingfan stared desperately at her back, it would not attract any attention from Shen Zhaozhao, because all she could think about was Tangli.
"I am her first love!"
"Hehe, but so am I."
"Oh my God, I thought there must be many people who like this kind of woman, but I didn't expect that she has always been single. It seems that she is not just standing firm for me, she is the same for everyone."
Shen Zhaozhao kicked the stones at her feet and smiled sweetly.
"What should I do? I want to go back to see her now."
"But it's so hopeless."
"Why don't I wait? Maybe she will call. Then I will go down the slope and go home directly!"
Shen Zhaozhao placed her hope on her mobile phone. She no longer put it in her backpack but in her pocket, hoping to receive the call as soon as possible.
As she walked, the number of people on the road began to decrease.
Today is a working day, and without people rushing to get to work, it has become much deserted.
But the rain kept falling, pitter-patter falling on the umbrella.
At this time, the cell phone in her pocket finally rang.
Along the way, she thought about pretending to be serious and never answer the phone right away. But when she saw this call, Shen Zhaozhao couldn't think of anything else.
"Hey, Tangli!"
The voice on the other side was soft and domineering, saying: "Shen Zhaozhao, look back."
Since Shen Zhaozhao held the umbrella all the time, she carried the handle of the umbrella on her shoulders for a long time. She would only walk forward and never thought of looking back.
As soon as Tang Li finished saying this, Shen Zhaozhao turned around.
In the pattering rain, a woman raised the umbrella. She was looking at Shen Zhaozhao. Her long black hair was tied up and her emotions were well hidden. Tangli, who was not smiling, had a look that Shen Zhaozhao had never seen before. It was awe-inspiring.
Shen Zhaozhao blinked, unable to hide her panic, swallowed and said: "You...how did you find me."
Tang Li stepped forward gracefully, raised the corners of her lips contemptuously, and said, "It's not difficult for me to find a disobedient kitten."
[Yeah! I'm helping! ]
Shen Zhaozhao still thought that the call from Tang Li must be asking where she was, but she never expected that she would see her as soon as she turned around. How could she have a chance to show off?
Tangli's movements felt oppressive, not to mention she looked very angry and didn't even smile.
Shen Zhaozhao's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she cried aggrievedly: "Why are you so mean? It's not all your fault. I was so proactive yesterday and you ignored me. Do you think I'm so disgusting to you? If that's the case, then I'll leave, as long as it doesn't bother you. Are you very happy that I'm gone? I didn't even make a phone call or send a WeChat message. You're so abominable."
Tang Li stared at Shen Zhaozhao and said, "If you are angry with me, then of course I will be angry with you too."
Shen Zhaozhao choked and stared at her in shame and anger.
Tangli threw away her umbrella, held her waist and walked quickly.
"Hey, my umbrella!"
Not far away was her car. Tang Li opened the door and put her in. She saw Shen Zhaozhao lying weakly on the back seat.
Tangli licked the corners of her lips and said coldly: "Look at how dirty you are. It's time to clean up after you go home."
The car door was closed and locked.
Tangli sighed and said, "Let's see how you can run away now."
"Ah ah my umbrella!"
My beautiful floral umbrella!
Bad woman!
