Chapter 2 Tang Tang
The train finally stopped. Compared to the slightly crowded crowd, Zhou Yan had been waiting in front of the door. As the door opened with a kacha, Zhou Yan took the lead to walk out.
Strange, seems to have forgotten something.
However, he did only bring a big schoolbag, so he probably didn't leave anything behind in the carriage.
His trouser pocket was vibrating. Zhou Yan stretched out his hand and pulled out a Nokia touch screen phone.
It showed an incoming call, and the phone number was very familiar to Zhou Yan.
"Hello, Mom?"
Zhou Yan answered the phone.
"Mom? Do you still think of me as your mother? You haven't called me for so long. Have you gone to another place and forgotten your mother?"
There was a roar on the other end of the phone, which made Zhou Yan's eardrums tremble and his scalp numb.
He felt that his last estrangement from the world disappeared with this roar of filial piety.
"Mom, I just arrived at school."
Zhou Yan looked at the people coming and going and said.
He actually had too many things to say, but in the end he only said this.
"So fast?" The other person on the phone was a little surprised.
"right."
Zhou Yan said with certainty that his mother, no matter whether it was twelve years ago or twelve years later, always looked frightened when she went on a long journey. She had to make a phone call when she got in the car, and when she got off the bus.
It was a phone call. Although I knew it was out of concern for him, it was really unnecessary.
After ten years of struggling in society, the best way to deal with this matter is to say that he has arrived. This method has always worked for Zhou Yan. Now that he has returned to 12 years ago, Zhou Yan naturally speaks up.
"Didn't you lie to me?" Xu Xiujuan asked suspiciously.
"I really didn't lie to you." Zhou Yan held up his forehead. When did his mother become so suspicious?
"Let Tang Tang answer the phone. You and she are in the same school. Since you just arrived at the school, she should still be with you, right?" Xu Xiujuan said.
"Tangtang!"
Zhou Yan finally knew what he had forgotten.
No, it’s not a thing, it’s the girl next door in his youth, Tang Tang.
This person who he always wanted to forget was also his first love, his first ray of white moonlight, if not...
"Mom, Tang Tang is going to the toilet now. I'll call you back when she comes out of the toilet."
After Zhou Yan finished speaking, he hung up the phone without hesitation, turned around and walked into the car door.
The train leaves in a few minutes, so it's urgent.
"For what?"
The police officer raised his eyebrows and stopped Zhou Yan directly at the door.
Zhou Yan came out and then went in again, which caught his attention.
"My sister is in there."
Zhou Yan said anxiously.
"Go and come back quickly, the train is leaving soon." the policeman urged.
Zhou Yan nodded, entered the car door, and went straight to Car No. 9.
Even Zhou Yan never thought that he would meet Tang Tang again in this fleeting time.
Tang Tang grew up with him.
Starting from kindergarten, to elementary school, junior high school and even high school, they are all in the same school.
Even now I am attending Hongcheng University.
When he was a child, Tang Tang had always been his follower. He used scissors to cut his hair, and he put caterpillars in books to frighten him. When he was young, Tang Tang was caught watching movies that only adults could watch, and finally they were together.
Lie under the quilt and watch, exploring their secrets from time to time.
But in high school, Tang Tang and Zhou Yan began to communicate less and less. Even if they lived across the street or were in the same class, they no longer talked about everything, but became lukewarm.
Zhou Yan didn't know what the reason was, maybe it was the pressure of studies that prevented them from having the time to communicate as before.
Finally, he became a familiar stranger.
Zhou Yan once, actually always liked Tangtang very much, because Tangtang fulfilled almost all his fantasies about the girl next door.
When he was young, Zhou Yan even thought that Tang Tang was his future wife.
But the reality is that Zhou Yan mustered up the courage to confess to Tang Tang after the college entrance examination, but was rejected outright.
That day, Zhou Yan and Tang Tang had a big fight, and then Tang Tang seemed to evaporate and disappeared into Zhou Yan's world, never to appear again.
Zhou Yan dated a lot of girlfriends after that, but when it came time to get married, he could never forget Tang Tang's shadow, so in the end, it all came to an end.
Zhou Yan couldn't forget Tang Tang because he didn't want to forget. How could he forget the white moonlight that belonged to youth so easily and without paying a price?
Although Zhou Yan is over thirty, he is still unmarried. Whenever he attends a friend's wedding banquet, the most talked about thing is that we will become one someday and invite us to drink.
But only Zhou Yan knows that the regret of losing once can really stay in your heart for a lifetime and never be forgotten.
Now that they have met again in this fleeting time, Zhou Yan only has one thought in his mind.
Get her!
She's just a naive and simple little girl. If he doesn't even have this ability, he can really go back to the drawing board and reinvent himself.
Zhou Yan squeezed into the crowd and walked through the narrow passage. Soon, he saw a girl who was carefully removing a large box from the storage shelf.
She was wearing a pleated floral skirt, with her snow-white calves exposed. Because of the hot weather, Zhou Yan could see fine beads of sweat covering her face.
Even if it's just the back, even if it's just the profile, Zhou Yan has a trace of movement for no reason.
Zhou Yan knew that she was Tang Tang and his first love.
Unexpectedly, we would meet again in this fleeting time.
"I'll do it."
Zhou Yan walked up to Tang Tang, and with a height of 1.78 meters, he could reach Tang Tang's pink suitcase.
"Shitou, why are you here?" Tang Tang's voice was somewhat resentful.
Zhou Yan slowly put down the pink suitcase and looked at Tang Tang, "Sorry, I forgot about you."
Tangtang's body has a faint fragrance of gardenia, which smells very good and intoxicating.
She has glossy black hair, long hair that falls past her shoulders, a baby-fat face, a pair of big black and white eyes, and delicate facial features, all of which show the innocence and cuteness unique to her age.
Zhou Yan suddenly felt that she was overlapping with the light and shadow that was about to form a lake in his mind.
And those emotions that had long disappeared in the fleeting years also came back.
"Zhou Yan, are you deliberately angry with me because I rejected your confession?" Tang Tang asked quietly from the side.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that Zhou Yan had a slight change towards her.
"I'm not that naive." Zhou Yan curled his lips and said, "I really forgot."
Tang Tang wanted to say something more, but Zhou Yan interrupted directly, "If you want to take a one-day trip to Xijiang with me, then stay here."
"Young man, you haven't left yet. Is she your girlfriend?"
Hearing the voice, Zhou Yan looked up and saw that it was the middle-aged man sitting next to him by the window.
At this moment, he smiled and said hello, and also noticed Tang Tang, an exquisite girl.
"She's not my girlfriend."
Zhou Yan shook his head at the middle-aged man, not wanting to explain more.
He held the suitcase in his left hand, took Tang Tang's white little hand in his right hand, and led Tang Tang towards the car door.
A hint of illusion arose in Zhou Yan's heart, as if he had captured the whole world again.
The feeling of dislocation that was like jet lag disappeared in an instant.
He is back, really back to 2010, back to his girl next door.
"I understand the world of young people less and less."
Watching Zhou Yan pull Tang Tang away, the middle-aged man smiled and shook his head.
