20. Reminiscence of the past (2)
The person who rescued Zhao Lin at a critical moment was Zhang Chen. He was late for the opening ceremony because he sent his friend to the school infirmary for treatment.
Zhang Chen wanted to stand quietly in the back of the team, but he didn't know which team was his own team. While he was hesitating, he saw Zhao Lin standing at the end, saw her white skirt, and the light shining on her silky smooth hair.
He was attracted by her back and walked towards her involuntarily, standing behind her. Then, he found the red dots on her white skirt.
Many years later, when Zhang Chen talked about that day, he still said emotionally that Zhao Lin was emitting a holy light all over that day, and the light led him towards her.
Zhao Lin got off the stage and returned to the back of the team with a blushing face. She saw Zhang Chen wearing only a short-sleeved T-shirt. Zhang Chen was thin and tall, with clear edges on her face.
Zhao Lin lowered her head and whispered, "I'll give you back after I've washed my clothes. How do you find you?" Zhang Chen signed up for the class and name. Zhao Lin looked up in surprise and said, "We are in the same department." Zhang Chen looked at Zhao Lin's cheeks flushed and his shiny eyes, as if there was the entire Milky Way inside. He wanted to explore it carefully."
After that day, it rained intermittently for a long time. When the sky cleared, Zhao Lin had no time to return her clothes to Zhang Chen, she "repaid her kindness and revenge".
The department organized an outing around the lake. Everyone brought snacks and when they arrived at the dinner, everyone took out the food to share. Zhao Lin bought some fruits, oranges, bananas, and mangoes.
Zhao Lin wanted to thank Zhang Chen for his rescue that day, so she specially picked a big mango for him. Zhang Chen took it, but did not eat it, but ate the apples given by other girls.
Zhao Lin looked at it and felt that she was passionate and annoyed by ruthlessness. Finally, when the event was about to end, everyone was busy cleaning up the garbage, but Zhang Chen ate the mango.
As everyone walked back, I didn't know who it was, so they looked at Zhang Chen and screamed. They saw that Zhang Chen's lips had swollen, like two ugly sausages, and there were many red spots on both sides of their mouths and on their chin.
Everyone was frightened, but Zhang Chen was calm and waved his hands repeatedly, saying vaguely, it was just allergic, it didn't matter, there was medicine in the dormitory. Everyone wanted to ask, Zhang Chen pointed at his mouth and shook his head. His mouth was blistering, and his speech was so painful.
Zhao Lin was also scared. Zhang Chen was so sure that it was allergic. He must know what caused him allergic, but why did he take the risk of touching him even though he knew he was allergic? Zhao Lin felt that this allergic source was related to him. Is it that mango?
When she arrived at school, everyone left, Zhao Lin went directly to the library. She wanted to find the reason, otherwise how could she sleep peacefully tonight? Hard work pays off. Two hours later, Zhao Lin found the answer, and it turns out that it was mango allergic!
Zhao Lin felt all kinds of guilt and wonder. When she returned to the dormitory, He Meizhi and Ye Qing were not there, and Ding Man was the only one reading the novel.
Ding Man has a delicate heart that has insight into people's hearts. Zhao Lin wanted to ask her, but she didn't know what to say, and she was irritated in the dormitory.
Ding Man was impatient by her reincarnation and said, "What's wrong with you? If you have something to say, don't mess around."
Zhao Lin simply said that Zhang Chen was allergic to it because she ate the mango she gave her. Ding Man smiled mysteriously and said, "I saved you last time and I haven't paid back the favor yet. This time you have caused me so much trouble again. I don't think you can pay it back clearly."
Zhao Lin got up very early the next day, bought porridge, and waited for Zhang Chen downstairs for the boy's dormitory. She was embarrassed to send it to her, but it attracted the early boy to look at her curiously upstairs, so she had to avoid behind a tree.
Zhang Chen got up early and ran back to the dormitory with his mask on the playground for a few laps. From a distance, he saw Zhao Lin wearing a floral skirt hidden under the shade of the tree next to the dormitory building. There was a smile that wanted to float up, but unfortunately he just pulled his mouth and hurt.
Hi, Zhang Chen said hello in a speechless manner. Zhao Lin looked at Zhang Chen, who was wearing a mask and was obviously swollen in her face, and handed him the porridge on her hand.
Zhang Chen wanted to laugh, but it was ridiculous than crying. Zhao Lin said, I'm sorry, I'll come to deliver porridge every day until you recover. Then, without waiting for Zhang Chen to reply, he turned around and left. Zhang Chen touched his head.
The next day, Zhao Lin came to deliver porridge. Zhang Chen, wearing a white T-shirt, looked around downstairs in the dormitory for 20 minutes.
On the third day, Zhao Lin discovered that Zhang Chen had to run in the morning every day, so she agreed to send the porridge to the playground. Zhang Chen ran 10 laps on the playground.
On the fourth day, Zhao Lin had just left the dormitory and was about to buy porridge. Zhang Chen, who couldn't wait to see her, was already waiting for her. She had been waiting for half an hour, and she pretended to be passing by.
On the fifth day, the two made an appointment to have porridge in the cafeteria. Zhang Chen was almost done, no longer had to wear a mask, and he spoke much more fluently. They didn't say much, but they had many similar hobbies, as if they had known each other for many years, and sometimes they only needed a look.
The sixth day was Friday, and the two had breakfast together. Because there were public classes together, they walked side by side. Zhang Chen walked to Zhao Lin's left, and their hands accidentally touched.
Zhao Lin's heartbeat accelerated. Zhang Chen reached out and held her fingertips gently. He felt like he was holding seven or eight rabbits in his heart, pounding wildly, and tremblingly said, "Be my girlfriend."
Zhao Lin was shy and broke away from her hands, and said with a blushing face, "Go away, it's late for class." Leaving Zhang Chen, she walked quickly on her own.
Zhang Chen smiled, touched his head, and followed him into the classroom. Seeing the empty seat beside Zhao Lin, he hurried to sit. Zhao Lin took away the schoolbag that occupied the seat, Zhang Chen was very happy.
When they started dating, Zhao Lin asked Zhang Chen, did you know that you would be allergic to mangoes? Why do you want to eat them? Zhang Chen smiled sly, because you gave them it!
Zhao Lin felt that she was the luckiest person and met the best Zhang Chen in her most beautiful youth. Zhao Lin was admitted to graduate school. In order to be with her, Zhang Chen applied for the same major as her.
Zhang Chen is very smart, and often comes to class with Zhao Linni in order to have more time. Even the professor knows that there is a permanent attendant in their class named Zhang Chen. In addition, Zhao Lin's gentle tutoring and strict supervision, so although the architectural design exam is difficult, Zhang Chen still passed the exam with the previous three.
After graduation, they were hired by the same design institute. Early and late, youthful inspiration collides with sparks of design. Even working overtime together to draw pictures is the most beautiful and happiest night. From school to unit, they are all a pair of beautiful people admired by others.
Zhao Lin felt that seeing the future life at a glance was dull but very real. Zhao Lin was confidently waiting for Zhang Chen’s proposal, and then marry and have children with his beloved him, and live a happy life.
However, Zhao Lin did not wait for the proposal. One day when Zhang Chen was on the right track at work, he suddenly told Zhao Lin without any warning that he wanted to go abroad and was very anxious. Zhao Lin did not want to go abroad. She was spoiled by Zhang Chen and felt that she was full of love, how much money was, and how much happiness was, every day was the most important.
In this way, the two of them stalemate for 3 days. Zhao Lin figured it out and gave in. As long as they were with Zhang Chen, they could go anywhere, but Zhang Chen insisted on going abroad alone. Zhao Lin couldn't figure it out, and her eyes turned red with grievance. She quarreled with Zhang Chen for the first time. In desperation, Zhang Chen said nothing and said the first time that he hurt Zhao Lin, can you give out 200,000? Zhao Lin is a child from an ordinary family in a small county town, and 200,000 is an astronomical figure.
Zhao Lin cried all night and still went to work in the morning. When she got home at night, she found that Zhang Chen was missing and all Zhang Chen's things were gone. Zhao Lin went crazy and looked for classmates, colleagues, called the police, and logged in to the missing person notice, but Zhang Chen was gone, as if the world had evaporated.
Zhao Lin suddenly realized that for so many years, although she knew that Zhang Chen was from Beijing, she had never been to his house and did not know the address of his house. She thought that with Zhang Chen, she would have the whole world, and his house would be her house in the future. But now, Zhang Chen is lost, Beijing is so big, where can she go to find her Zhang Chen.
Zhao Lin looked for her aimlessly during the day and cried all night at night. She quickly became thin and haggard, as if she had just grown older. She couldn't continue her work in the design institute, so she had to quit.
The one who accompanied her to find her was Ding Man. Ding Man was an editor at a magazine at that time. Meizhi returned to her hometown in Nanjing and was preparing to get married with her Canadian boyfriend. Ye Qing returned to her hometown after graduating from university. Ding Man was worried that Zhao Lin would lose her spirit and body if she continued like this, so she decided to take her away from Beijing, go out to the surrounding cities to relax, and slowly play all the way to Nanjing to attend Meizhi's wedding.
After Meizhi got married, she moved to Canada with her husband.
After going out for a walk, Zhao Lin, who returned to Beijing, seemed to have recovered some vitality. She couldn't find Zhang Chen, and for her parents, she still had to continue to live, even if she was a walking corpse and was still breathing.
Zhao Lin started looking for a job again. It happened that Jinxiu Company was recruiting designers at that time, so Zhao Lin submitted her resume. Because she was very outstanding, had work experience in the design institute, and participated in some engineering designs, she was soon hired without any suspense.
Three months later, Jinxiu Company announced the opening of the Nanjing market. Zhao Lin had been to Nanjing and felt that this ancient city was more suitable to appease her broken heart, so she signed up. Before leaving, Zhao Lin only said goodbye to Ding Man and agreed to contact only on QQ in the future.
From then on, Zhao Lin resolutely cut off all contacts with Beijing. Except for Ding Man and Ding Man, Ding Man never took the initiative to contact Zhao Lin. If Zhao Lin contacted her, all the problems would be solved as quickly as possible, never dragging on the mud, or asking questions.
Ding Man has never mentioned Zhang Chen in the past 10 years, as if this person has never appeared in their green years.
Today, Zhong Haotian’s information is like a sharp knife. It was caught off guard and suddenly cut open the scar that Zhao Lin thought had already scabbed and washed away, and was covered in blood. In 10 years, nothing had disappeared, but she didn’t dare to think about it, she didn’t want to think about it.
