4. Engagement
Zhang Cheng looked at me and said seriously, "I'm getting engaged to Shen Jieyu."
When I heard this sentence, the first reaction in my head turned out to be "whatever I think".I froze in place, not knowing how to react. But I instinctively squeezed out a smile and said, "Really?"
Seeing my gray face after being hit, Zhang Zhang wiped his hands, held my face in his hands, and said to me: "But, Qiyang, don't worry, I won't marry her. This is just a temporary compromise. .”
I nodded, forced to suppress the disappointment in my heart, smiled at Zhang Zhang, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I believe in you."
Zhang Cheng looked at me blankly. He hasn't looked at me like this for a long time. I thought there was something wrong with what I just said, and I was thinking about it when he suddenly hugged me hard.
At that moment, my whole heart seemed to stop beating.
Zhang Zhang and Shen Jieyu's engagement ceremony is scheduled for next month, which is August. Although the charter told me that he would never marry Shen Jieyu, but seeing his beloved get engaged to someone else made me feel uncomfortable. I said to the charter: "I plan to go back to school."
Zhang Zhang nodded and said yes. He helped me reconnect with high school, and I said that Taozi and Lu Junwen also planned to go back to high school. He said he would fix it. So, I dug out all the old textbooks, sorted them out one by one, and prepared to study hard. I used to like to play, and my heart was not in school. I was greedy for excitement and colorful things outside of school. I thought that reading was something only bookworms would do. But after going through the twists and turns of the past year, I realized how precious the four words of time and tranquility are.
During the six months in the United States, I lost contact with many people, the only ones I had contact with were Tao Zi and Lu Junwen. Therefore, when the schedule is busy, the only people I can find people to spend time with are the two of them. But both of them were determined to study hard, and I was bored by myself, so I also started to plunge into the textbooks.
Soon, August will be here. On the day of the engagement ceremony, I stayed at home alone and passed the time by dictating English words. But soon found that the mind could not calm down. How could it be possible to calm down? I smiled self-deprecatingly. When I think of Zhang Cheng standing on the stage at this moment, standing side by side with Shen Jieyu in front of the camera, my heart aches.
At this time, the computer suddenly made a sound of bubbles. This is the notification tone for new mail. I came back to my senses and looked at the computer screen. Because I haven't moved the mouse for a long time, the screen has entered a black screen state. I moved the mouse, and the bottom right of the screen displayed an email from Ye Yincheng.
Seeing the three words Ye Yincheng, I felt a burst of warmth in my heart. In a foreign country, it is not easy to meet a friend like her and take care of each other. In just half a year, there was almost a heart-to-heart relationship between me and her. At that time, I thought that my life would not be long, and I would tell those things if I said them. Anyway, Ye Yincheng and the circle I used to live in were completely different. But later, the two actually became friends.
I click on the email.
Ye Yincheng said in the email:
See Nobuka.
You didn't tell me when you returned home. I don't know how you are doing in China now, but with your boyfriend here, it shouldn't be bad.
It's just that when I needed you so much, you just walked away like this, it's too much.
Go online as soon as you see it.
The letter is only a few words. After I finished reading, I could almost imagine Ye Yincheng typed out this letter on the keyboard in such a chic manner. However, the thought of her being alone in the United States and pregnant. When she said she was going to abort the child in her stomach, it seemed that she had softened her heart after all.
I boarded up, opened the chat window with Ye Yincheng, and typed a line on the keyboard: I'm coming up.
Ye Yincheng quickly replied to me: Are you so busy returning home? There is no time to even go online! How did you promise me when you left?
I can almost see her slender fingers striding like flying on the keyboard behind the screen through these three lines of words. I said: Sorry, I have been busy with admissions recently.
Of course I couldn't tell her, I forgot. I thought that after returning to China, that special experience in the United States would become a dusty memory in my heart, and the ocean would separate all connections between me and it. However, some people will remember you. I am touched that Ye Yincheng remembered me and persistently contacted me. At the same time, I feel guilty for my negligence.
I said: what about you?how is the baby
Ye Yincheng: It's staying in my stomach!
I said: Haven't you told Qi Chenguang yet?
Ye Yincheng said: I am a little hesitant now. I don't know what to do either.
I said: You are in the United States alone, and you are still pregnant with a child, isn't it hard?
Ye Yincheng said: Hard work is hard work, but... In short, I am very conflicted now. I am still so young, but because of an accident, I have a child. In fact, the reason why I really don't want to give birth to him is because I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled, I will give up my life and start to bring a burden. However, he appeared because of me, I can't deprive him of his life so selfishly, I can't bear to...
I watched this passage on the screen, and I couldn't calm down for a long time. I said: Tell Qi Chenguang, he is the father of the child and he has the right to know.
This chat is over. Thinking that it may be difficult to meet them again in the future, I feel a little bit embarrassed.
