Chapter 339 Blooming in the Spring Breeze
Zhang Yunqi was caught off guard by this scene on New Year's Eve.

In such a blooming season with lush grass and singing birds, a 17 or 18-year-old boy would probably be dizzy with happiness if a girl who is extremely beautiful and outstanding confessed her love to him in front of the whole class.

For Zhang Yunqi, he had to admit that the words he said when he first met her made his classmates envy him very much, which really made him feel a great satisfaction of his vanity as a man. However, facing this brave step taken by this girl, he always found it a little difficult to accept it calmly.

As an adult man who has gone through more than 40 years of ups and downs, facing numerous changes in life, Zhang Yunqi's first reaction is often to consider what consequences this change will bring, how he should bear the consequences and resolve the series of chain reactions it brings.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

You have to know that this was the 90s, an era when the general public was struggling to break free from ideological constraints and fully integrate with international culture, an era full of vitality and expectations for the future, and an era full of publicity. Against the backdrop of the gradual opening of social concepts, the atmosphere of free love has gradually become stronger, but young people are still reserved and even rigid about love.

As for high school students of this era, "premature love" is an absolute scourge and is regarded as a thorn in the eyes and flesh by parents and teachers. Similarly, premature love lowers students' academic performance and affects their admission rates, so it is also strictly prohibited by schools.

Now that something like this has happened, it is certain that Zhang Yunqi will be called into the office by his class teacher Wang Mingzhen. It is also very likely that the whole school will be in an uproar, and that many people will say unfriendly words and look at him... Of course, Zhang Yunqi is a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. He has always ignored everyone except RMB, but what about Chu Jian?

This girl has a very bleak past. She has gone through 17 years of wind and rain and developed an absolutely rational and tenacious character. She has her ideals and her persistence. She is looking forward to the doors of China's top universities, Tsinghua University and Peking University, but they have not yet opened to her. At this time when the college entrance examination is approaching, she made such a move. Has she considered that it will affect her studies?

This reminded Zhang Yunqi of the opening ceremony of his second year of high school, when Chu Jian said to him in front of all the teachers and students in the school, "There are always times in a person's life when you feel like you see the door to heaven open. I struggled for so many years, and at the moment when I was about to collapse, the door opened. Behind the door was an angel, you."

He recalled the time when she blocked Lin Zihao's knife for him when they first met. She said to him, "I've waited for too long, so long that I almost forgot when I fell in love with you. It's all my fault. I always looked ahead and behind, always afraid of losing you. Now I'm not afraid anymore, because the degree to which I like you now gives me the courage to tell you that I like you and will always like you."

He recalled that when they were planting trees in Jinping Mining Area, she said to her classmates, "80 years ago, there was a poor student like us. He wandered around the tip of Orange Island and witnessed the devastated land of our motherland being ravaged by foreign powers. He said, 'The world is our world, the country is our country, and the society is our society. If we don't speak out, who will? If we don't do it, who will?'"

Zhang Yunqi had already sensed that most of the time, this girl was quiet, like water, icy, clear and clean. However, once she made up her mind about something, she would take a resolute attitude and do it regardless of the consequences.

That time and moment is just like this moment.

When she first saw her standing in front of Zhang Yunqi, it seemed as if all the light was focused on her.

Zhang Yunqi stood up and looked at her. He didn't know why, but he suddenly remembered the girl who confessed to him when he graduated from junior high school in his previous life. He would never make the same mistake again.

At that time, there were many sounds around, cheers, wailing... In that era, it was rare for high school students to confess their love on the spot, and it was even rarer for a girl to confess her love to a boy on the spot, not to mention that this was a beautiful female academic master. Everyone's adrenaline was aroused. Zhang Yunqi's loyal followers Wang Xiaokai, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Yang Wei had already surrounded him, adding fuel to the already hot atmosphere with the tone of a typical male supporting actor in a youth film: "Hold hands! Together! Hold hands! Together!"

Zhang Yunqi did not hold the hand of Chu Jian.

Amid the noisy noises and the gazes of the whole class, he finally walked around the rows of desks, walked up to the girl he had just met, and directly hugged the girl in his arms.

The weather was too cold, and the girl's soft body was cold. She pursed her lips tightly, tilted her head back, and looked like a frightened deer. Her rosy, hot little face was pressed against his face, close to his eyes, mouth, and nose.

Zhang Yunqi smelled a familiar faint scent of grass.

He patted her shoulder gently and looked down at her. Her face was flushed and there was already a little smile in her clear eyes, but her long eyelashes were still trembling. He said, "It's okay. Leave everything else to me."

Amid the screams, Zhang Yunqi let go of Chu Jian, turned his head and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend."

The classroom was in an uproar.

Everyone ran up and surrounded Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian, as if they were wedding guests, making noise and shouting, and they were just about to carry the two of them into the dormitory to make a scene in the bridal chamber.

At this time, Wang Xiaokai played Teresa Teng's "Sweet Honey", the music was warm and sweet, the atmosphere was happy and sweet, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Yang Wei, the male supporting actors in idol dramas, followed Chu Jian and called her "sister-in-law" and "sister-in-law" and flattered her in various ways. Chu Jian leaned on Zhang Yunqi's shoulder with her head down, holding his hand, her face flushed, and her lips slightly pursed with a smile.

This was probably the happiest moment for the girl.

Li Yufei thought as she witnessed all this.

But everything in front of her has nothing to do with her anymore.

This was the first time in her life. From the moment Li Yufei saw Zhang Yunqi stand up, she felt her body getting colder and colder from her fingertips to her heart, to the depths of her skull, and to her joints that were still sore from running so much to prepare for the New Year's Eve party.

The moment Zhang Yunqi hugged the girl with a flushed face and happiness, her ears started buzzing and she could hear nothing and feel nothing.

This night was as long as a knife.

Li Yufei didn’t know when the New Year’s Eve party ended. She had originally planned to spend this New Year’s Eve with her classmates, but now, these happy, unforgettable scenes had nothing to do with her.

She left the table early.

When I was going home, it suddenly started snowing heavily.

It was the heaviest snow Li Yufei had ever seen. It covered the sky and the earth like a giant blanket, burying the earth and houses. Huge ice curtains hung on the bare branches and eaves. The temperature was extremely cold, and the chill penetrated into the bones.

It was almost dawn, and there were no buses on the road in front of the No. 1 Middle School. There were also very few taxis late at night in that era. Li Yufei stood on the road, looked up at the dark sky, and a large snowflake hit her eye socket, splashing out crystal clear water stains.

Li Yufei retracted her gaze, took a step forward, and walked along the snowy road towards home. Although it was far and the road was dark, she knew that there would always be a moment when she would reach home.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!" Li Yufei had not walked a few meters when a Santana appeared on the side of the road with its headlights on. She turned her head to look over and the window slid down, revealing a face. It was Wang Guibing.

This clever girl was stunned for a moment, but she seemed to react quickly.

Wang Guibing said: "Yufei, get in the car, I'll take you home."

Li Yufei got into the car without saying anything.

Santana sped all the way through the last snowy night of 1994.

Li Yufei kept looking out the window. The streets outside the window were in a mess due to the wind and snow. The solid skyline was looming. The street lights reflected on her face, which looked a little pale.

Wang Guibing kept talking, talking about some funny things he had encountered in the past, and the current business situation of Longjingyuan. He was a little dry-mouthed at the end, so he smiled and said, "Yufei, why don't you say anything?"

Li Yufei seemed to come back to her senses at this time. She slowly turned her head and asked: "Brother Guibing, did Zhang Yunqi ask you to take me home?"

Wang Guibing seemed not to hear this and remained silent. After a long, long time, so long that the air in the car seemed to freeze, he suddenly said, "With such heavy snow, there is actually no wish that cannot be fulfilled."

Li Yufei's tears suddenly fell.
