Chapter 101 Have you ever died socially in this life?
7pm.
After an hour and a half, the bus arrived at Jinfeng County Bus Station on time.
At this moment, the sky has completely darkened, all the street lights have been turned on, and people are coming and going on the road, making it feel like a small city.
Although the entire county may look small, it is actually almost half the size it was when Wang Shang was in high school.
Qian Province has been developing very rapidly in recent years, especially the small counties that have been targeted by real estate development zones.
Residential properties are being developed one after another, and most of the entire county is made up of commercial buildings.
“It’s not here yet!!!”
"I've arrived. I'm outside the station now."
"Okay, please be careful when driving and don't look too fast. I'll take my time and wait until everything is fine."
"Well, that's it, I'm done."
On the sidewalk outside the station, Wang Shang and his father talked for a while, then hung up the phone, pushed the suitcase and walked to a tree, waiting for his father to drive over to pick him up.
The bus from Xingcheng to Jinfeng County takes the expressway directly to the county bus station and does not pass through the town where Wang Shang lives, so his father needs to pick him up.
Wang Shang had called his father to pick him up half an hour ago, and his father also said he would be there soon.
As a result... I just called, and dad still said the same thing, he'll be right back.
well!
Wang Shang was also tired and could only wait slowly.
Fortunately, it's not raining here, nor is it cold, so we'll just have to wait.
Tired of waiting, Wang Shang took out his mobile phone and prepared to scroll through Douyin.
At this time, there was someone in the dormitory WeChat group @everyone.
"Guess who I met at Dragon Turtle?"
Wang Shang clicked in and took a look. It turned out to be a beam. He sent a photo, a photo of a woman, and asked everyone to guess who it was.
The photo was secretly taken from behind. Only the woman’s back is visible, and the front cannot be seen.
If it were someone else, you might not be able to guess who it is just by looking at the back.
But there is one exception, she only needs a back view.
No need to guess, the moment they saw this photo of the back, everyone in the dormitory knew who this was.
After all, those long legs in the photo are really rare in the world, who else could it be besides Bin Wei.
"@梁兴, you can't take pictures! It made Bin Wei's legs short."
"It's a little short, but the real person is much longer than this."
"Where are the wealthy people?"
"Didn't you say that Bin Wei has been taken care of? Bin Wei has come to Guangcheng now, where are you?"
Looking at the various speeches in the group, Wang Shang laughed and said nothing. When he returns to Guangcheng, these guys will be ready to be shocked, envied, jealous, and filled with hatred.
"Wang Shang?!!!"
Suddenly, a female voice drew Wang Shang's attention away from the phone. He turned around and saw a tall and well-proportioned girl about 1.7 meters tall, wearing simple black wide-leg pants, looking at him in surprise.
It seems that I didn't expect to meet Wang Shang here.
"Hong...Hongying, long time no see."
As soon as he saw this girl, Wang Shang was instantly embarrassed and wanted to teleport away from here.
To be honest, it's not like Wang Shang has never chased girls.
The girl in front of him can be regarded as the first and only girl he has actively pursued.
The girl's name is Yang Hongying. She is from Wang Shang's grandmother's village. She is the same age as Wang Shang and is her classmate in the first grade of primary school.
The reason why Wang Shang was so embarrassed that he wanted to run away when he saw this girl was because he had done something before, which was so shameful.
Every time he thinks of it, Wang Shang curses himself for being mentally retarded.
I remember when I was a freshman in high school, I was deceived by a senior who said that it was unmanly to not fall in love in high school.
At that time, Wang Shang also wanted to save face, so he confidently said without thinking that he would have a girlfriend next week.
At that time, Wang Shang himself didn't know why he was so confident.
He chooses among the girls he knows and chooses the one he likes to express his love for.
At that time, classmate Yang Hongying, who was beautiful and had a good figure, came into Wang Shang's sight.
In addition, the two have known each other since childhood and even swam together in the river when they were young.
Wang Shang, who consciously confessed his love to her, confessed to the girl.
Wang Shang thought he was romantic and wrote a love letter to the girl.
The content inside, alas... is really hard to describe in words.
Especially one section, Wang Shang still can't forget it even if he wants to.
The meaning of that paragraph is roughly this.
He said that Wang Shang fell in love with girls when he was in the first grade of elementary school. He even gave an example to prove it. He said that once he brought a lollipop to school, and he only gave one to the other students. He only gave it to the girl.
Two.
Just... very embarrassing, super embarrassing!!!
We're already in high school, brother, why bother writing a love letter to express love? That's all. The whole story is about the two of them when they were in the first grade of elementary school.
That's right, first grade.
Because they only went to the same class in the first grade, Wang Shang returned to the town to attend elementary school and never went to the same school as a girl.
So he didn't actually spend much time with the girl, and they only met when he was at his grandma's house during the winter and summer vacations.
But at that time, Wang Shang had a kind of mysterious confidence and felt that the girl would be very moved after reading his love letter.
Then... the night after receiving the love letter, the girl sent a QQ message to Wang Shang saying that they were not suitable, which meant she rejected Wang Shang.
At that time Wang Shang was confused.
He never thought he would be rejected!!!
You know, when he was in junior high school, Wang Shang already had the experience of a girl confessing her love to him.
He thought that if he took the initiative to pursue Hongying, Hongying would never refuse.
The result... was rejected.
There is a saying on the Internet that is right: only after being hurt by a woman can a man mature instantly.
Wang Shang didn't know if the rejection of his confession was hurt by a woman, but he did mature after one night.
Then... Barbie Q!!
Once this person matures, his views on some things will be completely different, and some things that he thought were romantic before will become very shameful.
Wang Shang is like this, he already feels ashamed when he thinks about how he confessed his love in a mother-era way like writing a love letter.
As a result, he was still chatting with me about the first grade of elementary school, and he said, "I gave you an extra lollipop, so it proves that I liked you at that time."
Then what?
what do you want to say?
To express the agreement between you that there is a lollipop?
The girl might not even remember that you gave her a lollipop.
It's just... very embarrassing, very embarrassing.
Wang Shang felt ashamed just thinking about it.
From that time on, every time he went to his grandmother's house, Wang Shang was frightened and cautious, fearing that he would meet Hongying and die directly from society.
It's a pity that no matter how careful he is, he will always encounter it sometimes.
And every time that time came, Wang Shang really wanted to pretend that he didn't know Hongying and the two of them passed by each other.
But this is unrealistic. The two of them would not even say hello when they meet.
In short, Wang Shang has been reborn after so many years, but now when he meets Hongying, he still has a strong feeling of social death.
Perhaps it was because that confession was so shameful that Wang Shang never admitted that he had taken the initiative to pursue girls.
Even in yesterday's heart-to-heart talk with Bin Wei, he didn't mention Hongying a word.
I can't help it, it's really too shameful.
He was afraid of even meeting Hongying, let alone telling others about it.
So so far, they are the only two parties who know that he once confessed his love for Hongying.
"It's been almost ten years, and you're still so embarrassed?"
Wang Shang's embarrassment was about to materialize at this moment, and Hongying also smiled, finding it very interesting.
In her first year of high school, after Wang Shang confessed to her, every time she met her, she could see the unspeakable embarrassment on Wang Shang's face.
I just didn't expect that Wang Shang would still be so embarrassed when he met her from the first year of high school to now, let alone eight or nine years ago. This was something Hongying didn't expect.
"It's...it's okay." Wang Shang's eyes darted from side to side. At first glance, it was clear that he was not okay.
Hongying also suddenly got a bad taste, she leaned her upper body forward and approached Wang Shang, looked at him, squinted her eyes and smiled slightly: "I still have the photos of the love letters you wrote back then. If you want to see them, they are in my QQ space album.
"
Upon hearing what the girl said, Wang Shang was stunned for a moment and looked at the girl with an incredible look on his face.
Are you a devil sent from heaven to shame me?
It's such a shameful thing, even if you remember it, you actually took a photo and saved it in the QQ space album!!!
You...what are your intentions?
In short, Wang Shang just wants to die at this moment.
"I lied to you." Seeing Wang Shang's expression of almost committing suicide, Hongying let Wang Shang go, shook her head and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Wang Shang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the girl and quickly changed the subject and asked, "Where are you going?"
Hongying's home is in the west of the county, and the station is in the northeast. Judging from the direction the girl was walking in, she probably wasn't going home.
By the way, Grandma Wang Shang's village is in the county seat, and so is Hongying's family.
It's just that it used to be on the edge of the county seat, and still retains the appearance of a village. Now it has become part of the county seat, and the families in the village have been demolished to live in high-rise buildings.
"I'll teach in the dance studio below." Hongying raised her head and said.
"You are already a dance teacher!"
Wang Shang marveled, and then subconsciously glanced up and down at the girl's figure.
Then I sighed in my heart, as expected of a dance teacher, my figure is very good-looking, neither thin nor fat, everything is just right, I have a slightly S-shaped figure.
"You... just came back?" Hongying glanced at the suitcase next to Wang Shang.
"Well," Wang Shang said, "I just got off the car, waiting for my dad to pick me up."
"Then... wait a minute, I have to go to class." Hongying reached out to look at her watch and said to Wang Shang.
"Go and do your work first." Wang Shang said quickly.
"Then...goodbye." Hongying smiled and left.
The two did not add WeChat messages, nor did they ask for each other's phone numbers. It seemed that this encounter was just a chance encounter with childhood playmates, and they were no longer remembered after that.
Wang Shang looked at Hongying's leaving figure with a struggling look on his face. After thinking for a while, he still suppressed his shame and called out to Hongying.
"etc."
Wang Shang chased after him.
Hongying turned around and looked at Wang Shang doubtfully.
"You...why did you reject me in the first place?"
This can be regarded as a knot in Wang Shang's heart. After graduating from college in his previous life, although he was still afraid of meeting a girl, he was also thinking that next time he met, he must ask clearly why he rejected his confession.
"You...don't you still know why I rejected you?"
Hongying's expression and tone all expressed one emotion, which was - incredible.
Wang Shang scratched his head and didn't dare to look at Hongying, because he really didn't know, otherwise it wouldn't have become a knot in his mind.
Looking at Wang Shang's appearance, Hongying also shook her head, and then asked: "Do you think you are handsome and I am ugly?"
"I am quite handsome myself, and of course you are not ugly either." Wang Shang nodded, then shook his head.
"Okay." Hongying rolled her eyes and said, "Even if you are handsome, you also said that I am not ugly, so I have no shortage of boys to chase me."
"You just wrote a love letter to help me recall the first grade of elementary school, and then there was no follow-up. Then you asked me to promise you. How can I promise you?"
"I'm a girl, and you just wrote a love letter, and nothing else was done! How do you expect me to agree?"
"Just say that a woman suddenly wrote a love letter to you and asked you to be her boyfriend. Would you agree?"
This... Hongying's rhetorical question instantly made Wang Shang feel ashamed again.
At the same time, I felt heartbroken at my own stupidity.
How could he not understand such a simple question for so many years?
Think about it, how could a girl, a girl who is pretty and has no shortage of boys showing her affection, win the prize just by relying on Wang Shang's socially dead love letter?
If Hongying could be captured so easily, there would be no chance for Wang Shang to take action, and Hongying would already have a boyfriend.
"Have you figured it out?" Hongying squinted at Wang Shang and said with a smile.
"I understand." Wang Shang scratched his head and replied.
"Then... add WeChat." Hongying suddenly handed over her mobile phone and asked Wang Shangsao to add her WeChat. At the same time, she joked: "Didn't I just reject you at the beginning? It's not like you can't pursue me again. It turns out you're doing well."
, forget it if you don’t take any further action, and delete my QQ account. Later, you quietly added me back through your cousin and changed my name. Don’t you know that your QQ account cannot be changed?”
"Stop, stop, I'm begging you to stop talking." Wang Shang's face turned red and he quickly begged for mercy. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone to scan Hongying's WeChat account.
All the things that caused social death that Wang Shang had done in the past were all caused by Hongying. Now that he was mentioned again by his ex-wife, he really couldn't bear it.
"Contact me when you have time. I'm leaving first." After adding the WeChat message, Hongying waved her hand and turned around to leave.
"Contact me when you have time." Wang Shang waved his hand, looked at the girl's back for a while, then returned to the small tree, waiting for his father to drive over to pick her up.
Tap tap... Hongying walked up the stairs with steady steps. She opened Wang Shang's WeChat Moments on her mobile phone, wanting to see how this former childhood friend was doing recently.
As a result...it was just a WeChat Moments, the kind of Moments where the store forced you to post on WeChat Moments to collect a certain number of likes in order to get a discount.
The time was still half a year ago.
"It seems that he is either a bachelor or a sea king." Hongying judged as she looked at Wang Shang's minimalist circle of friends.
