Chapter four hundred and seventieth meeting the person you least want to see
Li Jingxuan avoided Zhang Jiakai's gaze and moved a few steps to the side with a guilty conscience.
This person is too fickle, what if he gets angry?
Zhang Jikai saw Li Jingxuan keeping a distance from him, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes for no reason.
"Li Jingxuan, have you never noticed who I'm looking at during your three years of high school?"
"What...what do you mean?"
Li Jingxuan shrank his neck, looking a little confused.
Zhang Jikai looked at Li Jingxuan expressionlessly for a long time, then suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and said lightly.
"I have never liked Su Lin."
Li Jingxuan was surprised that he didn't like Su Lin.
Every time Su Lin is around him, Zhang Jikai is there.
She could tell that Su Lin liked him very much.
She thought that every time Zhang Jikai appeared where Su Lin was, he secretly liked Su Lin, so he wanted to appear.
Li Jingxuan was very surprised as if he had discovered some important news.
So, it's a rumor that has been spreading in the school.
Between the two of them, Su Lin has always liked Zhang Jikai?
But why didn't Zhang Jikai speak out?
"Go back and say thank you to auntie for me. Please eat her cooking next time you have a chance.
I have something else to do, so I’ll go back first and see you at the train station tomorrow.”
After Zhang Jikai finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the main road, leaving Li Jingxuan sitting alone by the river thinking about something.
Su Lin thought that during their three years of high school, every time they passed each other, they never even exchanged a simple greeting.
In high school, when I was first in academic performance, he was second, and when I was second, he was first.
However, there was not much verbal communication between the two, and they did not even discuss study once.
It wasn't until she went to Shanghai and the two of them were assigned to the same class. In a strange city, she was overjoyed and took the initiative to approach him. Only then did she realize that this classmate named Zhang Jikai was not only good-looking, but also a very good person.
Li Jingxuan's mind was in a whirlwind, thinking about the chicken legs thing last time.
Instantly, an idea flashed through her mind that even she thought was impossible.
Could it be that Zhang Jikai has always liked himself?
Li Jingxuan was shocked, how could this be possible?
But then she thought about it, Su Lin and they were also high school classmates.
If she hadn't heard Zhang Jikai say that he didn't like Su Lin, Li Jingxuan would never have thought that the person Zhang Jikai liked was her.
Li Jingxuan's mind was in turmoil. After much thought, she was not sure.
After pondering, thinking of Zhang Jikai's behavior today, she once again told herself with certainty.
Zhang Jikai has always liked himself.
He appears because of his own appearance.
However, Su Lin happened to like him and knew that Zhang Jikai would definitely appear wherever he was.
The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the lake, glowing with a faint blush. The children playing by the river had long disappeared. The leaves of the willows and poplars on both sides of the river were rustling in the wind.
Li Jingxuan thought that she had classes in the evening, so she stood up and patted the dirt on her buttocks, then walked alone towards home.
…
"What are you talking about? Your classmate has gone back beforehand?"
Wang Ying saw Li Jingxuan coming back alone and learned that Zhang Jikai had already left. When he saw the table full of dishes, he raised his palm and landed on Li Jingxuan neither lightly nor hard.
"You damn girl, why didn't you tell me earlier when I left? Aren't you clamoring for some cold skin?
If I had known that your classmate wouldn't eat, I wouldn't have done so much.
You have to leave tomorrow. If you want to eat a bowl of cold skin, mom can’t make it for you.”
Wang Ying kept talking, and Li Jingxuan was in a daze. He grabbed a bowl of rice and went to school with the registration form he had written in advance.
After Wang Ying sighed, she took a basin and started stirring the batter.
After her daughter left, it was the end of the year when we met, and a bowl of cold skin was not a problem, so she didn't mind the trouble and started cooking while it was dark.
It seems that Zhang Jikai's departure did not have much impact on her.
Yang Lina only stayed in the village for three days. During these three days, she stayed behind closed doors and concentrated on drawing pictures.
After three days of fighting, the preliminary drawings were finally completed.
That day, when she was driving to the village entrance early in the morning, she met someone she never wanted to meet in her life - Liu Cui.
Seeing Liu Cui from afar, Yang Lina's joyful mood after finishing the drawing disappeared instantly.
Her face darkened, thinking that if she dared to quarrel with her, even if she was pregnant now, she would never show mercy.
Yang Lina didn't stop and walked forward directly.
Walking into Liu Cui, Yang Lina glanced at Liu Cui out of the corner of her eye, and Yang Lina was shocked.
Speaking of which, I haven't seen Liu Cui for three months. Her belly is slightly bulging and her whole body is thin and out of shape.
What’s even more exaggerated is that my face, which used to be full of collagen but had some freckles, has now become sallow and pale, like a ghost.
Coupled with his thin body and hunched cheeks, he looked more than ten years older.
And that shiny black hair, half of which turned white in just three months.
Liu Cui also saw Yang Lina. She seemed to be a little slow to react. When Yang Lina walked in, she covered her face with her hands and deliberately turned sideways, as if to avoid Yang Lina.
Yang Lina walked forward for several meters without recovering from the shock.
When turning back, Liu Cui held her waist with one hand and seemed to be dragging her stomach with the other hand, and walked faster towards the village.
At this point, those who get up early are either drivers or people working in the fields. She doesn't look like a driver or someone working in the fields so early.
For a moment, Yang Lina thought that Liu Cui might have encountered domestic violence and was tortured into a dehumanized state in just three months.
Yang Lina couldn't help but think again, she deserved it, she had done all the bad things, and ended up getting pregnant with Tian Jinquan, and she didn't get the respect she deserved.
Yang Lina slapped her cheek, not wanting to think too much.
Finally waiting until night, Li Jingming returned to the courtyard covered in sawdust and saw his daughter-in-law lying on the bamboo chair in the courtyard again, feeding mosquitoes.
He sighed, wishing he could be a mosquito that sucks human blood.
When Yang Lina heard the noise, she took off the book covering her face, got down from the rocking chair, didn't mind the sawdust on Li Jingming's body, and held his arm to talk about what happened in the morning.
"Guess who I saw at the entrance of the village today?"
"who?"
Li Jingming pinched the tip of Yang Lina's nose and let her hold his arm.
"Liu Cui."
"She didn't bully you, right?"
Li Jingming knew that Liu Cui had undergone earth-shaking changes now, but thinking of the scene in which she deliberately bullied his young daughter-in-law, he worriedly checked whether the young daughter-in-law was injured.
"Oh, I'm fine. She didn't do anything to me.
You don’t know, she is now almost skin and bones, her hair is half white, and she looks more than ten years older, how miserable she is.”
