Reckless Youth of Delinquency - Text Chapter 917: Accepting cross-examination
Yu Chengfei was still very tired and fell asleep after watching for a while. His mother brought him a blanket to cover him. My dad said, “Look at your son, he must have been reincarnated as a ghost in his last life.” When it was almost twelve o’clock, I called Yu Chengfei but didn’t wake him up, so I had to go downstairs to set off firecrackers. When setting off firecrackers, I made another wish, hoping that Yu Chengfei would go well in the future. In fact, I also know that making a wish is useless, maybe it is just a psychological comfort. At this point, I will be twenty-one years old.
Not a teenager, but a young man.
When I woke up after a nap, I no longer felt as excited about the New Year as before. I lay in bed for a long time and didn’t want to get up. I faced the wall and kept answering the phone. There were many people paying New Year greetings. At this moment, I suddenly felt a cold feeling on my back. I groaned, sat up, and found Zhou Mo had arrived, giggling. She just came in from outside, her hands were very cold, and she touched my back. I immediately dragged her to the bed, and Zhou Mo started making trouble with me on the bed, asking me to get dressed quickly. She couldn’t wait to play with Li Shanman. I said can you please stop being so boring. Zhou Mo said no, I’m just so bored. I had no choice but to put on my clothes and follow Zhou Mo into the street. That’s right, it was me who followed her, not her who followed me. She already considered herself from Dongguan.
I walked around the street and met many acquaintances. When I met them, I would talk to them. When I spoke, I would stand for a long time. Zhou Mo was impatient and kept dragging me away. When we arrived at the square, it was still the same, crowded with people. This is the only place in our town where we can play, so we all came here on the first day of the new year. I used to meet Li Shanman here every Chinese New Year, so Zhou Mo would drag me around the square. There are more acquaintances in the square, and they all call me Brother Hao when they meet me. After turning around two or three times, he still couldn’t find Li Shanman. Zhou Mo was a little discouraged and asked whether the girl didn’t come out. I said it’s possible. I’ve been tricked by you for several years in a row, but this year I can’t learn how to behave. Zhou Mo didn’t believe in evil, so she continued to search, and even said that she would use Xiao Zhishan’s power to find her. I persuaded her for a long time before stopping her crazy plan.
Although he didn’t find Li Shanman, he actually met Zou Yang. Zou Yang saw me from a distance and ran over to say hello. Looking at him, I had mixed feelings. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be where I am today. This is the butterfly effect. I was not in the mood to talk to Zou Yang, but Zou Yang acted like he knew me very well and kept asking me to talk about his former classmates, which made me know a lot of news, such as who was with whom. , who made a fortune doing business and so on. Zhou Mo listened for a while and asked Li Shanman, do you have any news about her? Zou Yang said that there is not much news about her. She just goes to college in Xinxiang and doesn’t come back very often, so she doesn’t know much about her. I heard that she has a rich second-generation boyfriend.
Zhou Mo was a little disappointed and casually asked him if he had seen Li Shanman. In fact, it was just a question. We all thought that Li Shanman must not have come out today. As a result, Zou Yang just said, “Yes, I just saw her eating tofu skewers at the farmer’s market.” Zhou Mo’s eyes immediately lit up, and he took my arm to go to the small market. I don’t want to go, it’s too boring. Zhou Mo said, “If you don’t go, I’ll go.” Then he ran towards the farmer’s market alone. I was a little anxious, afraid that something would happen to her, so I asked Zou Yang to follow her and take a look. Zou Yang was now proud of being able to help me with things, so he immediately followed me. I just wandered around and bought two balloons and gave them to Zhou Mo after a while.
After waiting for a long time, Zhou Mo still hadn’t come back. I wondered if something had happened, so I couldn’t help but walk to the farmer’s market. The market is not far away, only three minutes away from the square. There is a tofu skewers stall at the entrance of the market. From a distance, he could see Zhou Mo holding his waist with one hand and mumbling something. Looking closer, Li Shanman was sitting on the bench, with a few tofu skewers in her hair, and the soup bowl was still covered on the ground. You don’t need to think about it to know that Zhou Mo’s fiery temper has put the bowl on others’ heads. Zou Yang was standing aside. When he saw me coming, he immediately came up to me and said, “Brother Hao, these five phoenixes are so amazing. I admire them so much!”
I ignored him and went over to pull Zhou Mo. Zhou Mo was scolding Xuan: “Why aren’t you awesome? Where is your rich second-generation boyfriend? Is driving a Porsche awesome? It’s not a problem for Wang Hao to buy a thousand Porsches with his current wealth…” I was extremely ashamed. I’m exaggerating too much. I have some savings, but I’m not exaggerating. Zhou Mo was startled when I pulled him, and when he saw it was me, he said, “Just wait, I’ll finish scolding you.” I said, “Okay, let’s go, I bought you two balloons.” Then he handed the balloon to her hand. Zhou Mo said sweetly: “Are you coaxing a child?” As expected, he stopped scolding Li Shanman and only said: “Be careful and don’t go shopping in the future. I’ll beat you every time I see you.” Then he took my hand. Walk.
I looked back at Li Shanman and saw that she was still motionless, her head was wet with water, and there were many people gathered around her. It was a pity for this beautiful girl. Zhou Mo stretched out his hand, turned my face back, and whispered: “Don’t look at me, don’t sympathize. Let me tell you, for a girl like Li Shanman, the nicer you are to her, the more ungrateful she becomes; the colder you are to her.” , the more she craves you.”
Zhou Mo looked very happy after taking care of Li Shanman, as if this was the most important task during the New Year. In the afternoon, she went back to Beiyuan, and everyone was busy visiting relatives. After visiting the relatives in Dongguan, we went to Bai Qing’s house again. Our whole family went there. At the dinner table, Bai’s mother talked about Bai Qing and me, saying that we were really close to each other and that we would get married when our two children had jobs. My dad kept looking at me suspiciously, and I turned my face to the side and pretended not to see. My dad is quite open-minded and has never interfered in my love life. But when it came to getting married, he had to murmur a bit. On the way back, he asked me what I thought about which of the four girls I wanted to marry. I said you don’t have to worry about it, I’ll tell you when the time comes.
Just like that, I also went to Tongzilou to play chess with Uncle Qi, talk to the beautiful sister and so on. I was busy until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year before I found time to go to Xia Xue’s house. The things we weighed were neither too light nor too heavy, just ordinary tobacco, alcohol, tea and nutritional supplements. Before leaving, I had a phone call with Xia Xue and asked her if her mother had asked anything after what happened on the train last time. Xia Xue said, can you not ask? My mother is already suspicious of you and feels that your relationship with several girls is abnormal and a bit out of the scope of ordinary friends. I just said, please explain. Xia Xue said, what are you still explaining? You saw that you were in a hurry and didn’t let go of Tao Zi’s hand. Is there any use in explaining this matter? I was speechless and asked her what to do and whether I should go to your house. Xia Xue sighed and said, come on, you can’t hide from the food in the first grade of junior high school, so you have to face my mother sooner or later.
Xia Xue’s father is still very enthusiastic towards me, as if he treats me as a prospective son-in-law. Xia Xue’s mother kept a straight face and didn’t speak or pay attention to me. I knew it was because of what happened on the train. This time I felt guilty, so I didn’t dare to say anything, let alone show my temper like I did last time. The same goes for Xia Xue, who doesn’t dare to be angry with her mother. Xia Xue’s father also noticed Xia Xue’s mother’s coldness, but he didn’t say anything. He thought it was a normal phenomenon.
Xia Xue’s family is very atmospheric, and they actually cook Western food themselves, such as frying steaks, salads and red wine. Taking the opportunity of clinking glasses, Xia Xue’s father said half-jokingly: “Talk to Wang Hao, he is our son-in-law after all.” I thought to myself, it’s better not to open this topic, but it will be over once I open it. . Sure enough, Xia Xue’s mother snorted coldly: “I don’t know if he is our son-in-law.”
Xia Xue’s father thought she was still competing, so he continued to joke: “As long as you agree, this son-in-law will definitely not be able to run away.”
Xia Xue’s mother added: “That’s not necessarily true. Maybe she wants to run away.”
“Impossible, Xia Xue is looking at him.”
“Humph, even Xia Xue can’t stand it!”
“What do you mean?” Xia Xue’s father also noticed something was wrong.
I lowered my head very low, not daring to say a word, waiting to be judged by my fate. Xia Xue’s mother would never let me go lightly. “What do you mean?!” Xia Xue’s mother slammed the table and said, “Wang Hao is having sex with other girls in front of our daughter!”
“How is that possible?!” Xia Xue’s father was shocked.
“How is it possible?!” Xia Xue’s mother sneered: “Then I will tell you carefully. I have been holding it back for so many days, and I have been waiting for this opportunity!” Then, Xia Xue’s mother began to talk, starting from the above The time Zhou Mo and I got home drunk and hugged each other, it started and ended with me holding Tao Zi’s hand on the train. After finishing speaking, Xia Xue’s mother sneered and stopped talking.
Xia Xue’s father pursed his lips and frowned, as if he was analyzing what happened before, and finally said slowly: “I can forgive him for being drunk. But, but this on the train…” Then he looked at me: “Wang Hao, Can you give me an explanation?”
“Just… just good friends.” I said bravely: “When I saw her injured, I just wanted to help her stop the bleeding. I didn’t think much about anything else.” I didn’t know if I could get through it.
“Of course friends should care about each other, but they must not care too much. There should be a limit to the relationship between men and women, especially when Xia Xue is your girlfriend and she is still sitting next to you, you should pay more attention to your words and deeds. Just imagine, If Xia Xue cares about other boys like this and holds other boys’ hands, how would you feel in your heart?”
I still lowered my head and didn’t say a word. What Xia Xue’s father said makes sense. If Xia Xue had grabbed another boy’s hand, I would probably chop off that boy’s hand.
