Chapter 231 Unforgettable
Shanshui Park, I haven't been here for a long time, even though this park is on his way to and from school every day.
The cold wind rustled the dead branches in the distance. Li Zhuangsheng wrapped the scarf around his neck and strolled in the empty square.
Unconsciously, he arrived at a small lake, which was sparkling and lonely.
In the future, a commercial street will be built across from the park, and from here you can see the colorful streets on the other side. But that is many years away, at least not yet, and it is pitch black as far as the eye can see.
But loneliness also has its own beauty, the silver moon is like a hook, hanging high in the sky, then covered by clouds, then timidly showing up again, like a shy girl.
"Shake your head and leave the world of mortals, there is no time to wake up or get drunk. I work in a green raincoat and a green hat, used to wearing frost and snow. In the evening, the wind has died down and the fishing line is idle, with the new moon above and below. The water and sky are one color for a thousand miles, watching the lonely wild goose flickering."
Li Zhuangsheng breathed in the refreshing cool air and chanted softly.
He touched his face and smiled. It was hard to tell what he felt at the moment. It was different from the accidental "first kiss". This time it was Lin Yuehua's completely subjective action.
This feeling was completely different from the first time Hu Mengdie kissed him.
He remembered that the first time Hu Mengdie kissed him was on the night of Hu Mengdie's birthday, more than half a year after they confirmed their relationship.
He carefully prepared more than 20 birthday gifts, and after giving them out, he asked Hu Mengdie out for dinner. He thought there should be progress tonight, and he saw Hu Mengdie's official announcement on his circle of friends, and he was very excited.
Having seen so many stories of people licking their boots but ending up with nothing, I felt quite nervous when it was my turn, fearing that I would become the clown in those stories.
There are likes from two mutual friends under the circle of friends, proving that this post is not meant for him alone.
Although he always made excuses for Hu Mengdie before, she didn't post on WeChat Moments often, she also said he was her boyfriend in front of her friends, or maybe she just didn't like to share her life with others...but at that moment, Li Zhuangsheng knew that the bootlicker had finally moved the goddess and truly got her recognition.
Is the idea inconsistent? It doesn’t matter!
The sudden surprise was even greater than the day I started dating Hu Mengdie.
Before leaving for the restaurant in the evening, Zhang Qixiang called and scolded him for being unfair and for secretly taking Hu Mengdie away without telling anyone. If a friend had not taken a screenshot of Hu Mengdie's Moments and sent it to him, he would still be kept in the dark!
Li Zhuangsheng said proudly and reservedly, "I have just caught up with you. I would have been embarrassed to tell you if I hadn't confirmed the success!"
After dinner, they walked along the street again. Hu Mengdie held his hand, interlocking their fingers. They walked back to Hu Mengdie's home, downstairs in the community. When they said goodbye, Hu Mengdie suddenly turned around and kissed him lightly on the lips.
Ever since Li Zhuangsheng "sneak-attacked" Hu Mengdie on the cheek that day, there had been no physical progress between the two for a long time. Usually they just held hands at most, and Li Zhuangsheng didn't dare to go any further.
So he was confused for a moment, and only smelled a gust of fragrant wind. A moment later, he subconsciously hugged Hu Mengdie tightly.
At that moment, his mind was completely empty. After hugging Hu Mengdie, he kissed her hair, forehead, and cheek first, panting slightly, hugged her tightly, and stuck his butt back. His heart beat a thousand times per second, and it felt like a wild beast was howling in his heart.
But Lin Yuehua was different this time. There was no ecstatic excitement, no impulse intertwined with desire, only a warm feeling filling her heart.
Afterwards, I didn't feel any anxiety or self-deception, it was just pure joy.
After enjoying the breeze, Li Zhuangsheng turned around and muttered to himself: "Go home, go home! I have to do my winter vacation homework and the exercise book. Oh, it's so annoying! I really don't want to do it, but who can blame me for making my master angry..."
"I'm going to starve to death!"
Li Xiuyu had a stern face.
"Then let's go out to eat."
Li Zhuangsheng smiled and said that although he had eaten a lot at Lin Yuehua's house and was not hungry at all, if he told Li Xiuyu about this, the other party would definitely be unhappy again.
"I'm too lazy to go out. I want to eat instant noodles!"
"Okay, I'll cook you some tomato beef noodles. I just happen to have a tomato at home."
Li Zhuangsheng got up and went to the kitchen. He first boiled water, took out the cooked beef from the refrigerator, cut it into slices, and then took out a tomato and drew a cross on its top. When the water boiled, Li Zhuangsheng put the whole tomato into the pot, boiled it for a while, and then took it out and peeled off the skin easily. "I really hope my mother can learn from you. She never peels the tomatoes when she stir-fries them. I spit out the skin while eating. It's really annoying." Li Xiuyu stared at Li Zhuangsheng cooking noodles and hummed.
"She just doesn't know how to peel it. I'll tell her next time she comes back."
Li Zhuangsheng poured out the water, rinsed it briefly, then boiled water again and opened two packs of instant noodles at the same time.
"Why did you only open two packets? Aren't you going to eat them?" Li Xiu Yu sat on a chair outside the kitchen, pouting.
"I ate it and came back." said Li Zhuangsheng.
"Did you eat with Lin Yuehua?"
"That's it."
Li Zhuangsheng was slicing tomatoes with a tapping sound while humming a song softly.
Li Xiuyu snorted and said tartly, "I feel good being with Lin Yuehua!"
"Her grandmother is now in the upper hospital, so things will be easier from now on."
"Will you go see her tomorrow?"
"She doesn't need me for the time being. Her family is busy too. How can I visit her every day?" Li Zhuangsheng smiled and hummed a song unconsciously.
"Really?"
"Yes, the New Year is coming soon, and we have to prepare for the New Year at home. When will mom and dad come back?"
"They said it's the day after tomorrow. They made some sausages there, which are tastier, so they plan to bring them back together."
"It looks like we'll be busy in the next two days."
"What are you busy with?"
"Dad got promoted. He has real power now. I guess he will have a lot of New Year's greetings this year... He should get promoted again in two years... Hehe, I never thought that one day I would get to experience the feeling of being a young master."
"You're overthinking it. How can you get promoted so quickly?"
"You don't understand. The fortune teller said that I have a lucky father..."
While the brother and sister were chatting, Li Zhuangsheng had already cooked a delicious bowl of tomato and beef instant noodles, served it in a large bowl and brought it to the dining table.
"Eat." Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile, "I'm going back to my room first. When you're done, you can put your bowl and chopsticks on the table. I'll clean up tomorrow morning."
Li Xiuyu glared: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You've been accompanying others all day, why can't you sit with me for a while now!"
"What are you talking about? You have no conscience!" Li Zhuangsheng knocked on Li Xiuyu's head, but still pulled out a chair and sat down, watching Li Xiuyu eat noodles.
Li Xiuyu slurped the instant noodles and said, "When mom comes back, can you cook instant noodles for me? Mom only adds two eggs when she cooks instant noodles, and they are not as delicious as yours!"
"You are such a loser. Why are you still eating instant noodles during the Chinese New Year?" Li Zhuangsheng smiled. "I'll go buy New Year's goods tomorrow. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll prepare it for you during the Chinese New Year."
"Yeah, you're so nice, brother!" Li Xiuyu smiled and nodded frequently.
"I am only your brother when you need me," Li Zhuangsheng scolded with a smile.
