That night, Jiang Suichu suffered from insomnia.
In fact, ever since she decided to come to No. 1 Middle School, she had imagined meeting Lu Zhinian again. Because No. 1 Middle School is the best high school in Yun City, as long as Lu Zhinian is still in Yun City, there is a high probability that he will enter No. 1 Middle School. So when she heard him introduce himself, she assumed it might be him.
After seeing his face clearly in the stairwell, she knew that the person in front of her was Lu Zhinian without even confirming those three words. He is still the same as when he was a child, a presence that cannot be ignored among the crowd, and a remarkable and proud man.
At that time, all the children in the compound went to family-owned kindergartens, and he had always been what the uncles and aunts in the compound said was someone else's child. As the only girl in the compound, Jiang Suichu has been pampered by everyone since she was a child. She is proud and arrogant. She is the little bully in the family compound and the biggest headache for kindergarten teachers.
At that time, Lu Zhinian was the smartest child in the kindergarten. Every time the teacher asked him, he answered the fastest, so he got the most red flowers. Jiang Suichu, on the other hand, only knew how to be naughty and mischievous. Even the small crafts were done by Lu Zhinian for help. Naturally, he did not receive any rewards.
Every time at the beginning of the year Jiang Sui would snatch little red flowers from Lu Zhinian and paste them on his notebook, keeping them for himself.
"Jiang Suichu, give me back the little red flower!"
"A little bit, I won't pay it back if I don't." Xiao Suichu stuck out his tongue at him and made a face.
Lu Zhinian's face turned red with anger and he threatened her: "You are not allowed to sleep in my house today."
This didn't scare her anymore, because she knew that Aunt Shu Yuan and Uncle Lu doted on her more than they doted on Lu Zhinian.
Jiang Zhiwei and Lu Shenghua were classmates at the police academy. They had bunk beds. After graduation, they worked together in the first anti-narcotics detachment of the Yun City Public Security Bureau. The two families had a close relationship like one family. Even when they were pregnant and giving birth, they rushed together in an attempt to get the two children to have a same-sex or opposite-sex marriage.
Both mothers want to give birth to a millennium baby, and the due date is January of the millennium. But some people seem to be born better than others. Lu Zhinian, whose due date was originally a few days later than Jiang Suichu, was born before the due date, more than a month prematurely. From a baby born in the millennium to a baby born in 1999, from Jiang Suchu's younger brother to Jiang Suchu's older brother...
Because she was born prematurely, Aunt Shuyuan felt that her original name, Lu Xinian, was inappropriate, so she changed her name to Lu Zhinian, nicknamed Niannian.
Zhitongzhi means the end of the year and the blessing of the year.
Jiang Suichu was born on time and on time. She was named Jiang Suichu and nicknamed Sui Sui.
It means the beginning of a year.
The name was obtained by Aunt Shu Yuan, and it comes from the same poem as Lu Zhinian's name.
The wind has an appointment, and the flowers are not missed.
Year after year, there will be no regrets.
The setting sun and the evening breeze, morning and evening.
At that time, Jiang Suchu's father was busy with work, and his mother was a nurse who often worked night shifts in the hospital. Aunt Shu Yuan quit her job to take care of Lu Zhinian at home because of his premature birth and poor health. Every time her parents work overtime and there is no one to take care of her, she will be taken to Lu's house.
It can be said that she was almost raised in the Lu family.
Aunt Shu Yuan dotes on her so much that Lu Zhinian has more princess dresses in her wardrobe than little boys' clothes. The snacks and yogurt in the refrigerator are also bought according to her preferences.
Aunt Shuyuan is the mother who is at the forefront of fashion in the compound. She always spends a lot of time dressing her up, dressing her in beautiful little skirts and wearing beautiful braids.
When Jiang Suichu was a child, he was white, fat, and very cute. Shu Yuan would hug her and kiss her every time after dressing up, "My daughter-in-law is so beautiful."
He would also ask Lu Zhinian: "Nian Nian, do you think Sui Sui looks like Snow White?"
Lu Zhinian especially liked to pull her braids and poke her cheeks.
He poked her fat face and said, "It's not like that at all. Snow White is not that fat."
Aunt Shu Yuan slapped his hand away and glared at him: "Why are you so fat? You are so cute every year."
He always took advantage of Aunt Shuyuan's absence and pulled her pigtails in circles.
"Piggy, how can you eat so well?"
"Piggy, you are so fat."
"Zhuzhu, my mother said that you will marry me as your wife in the future. I don't like fat wives."
Everyone in the compound calls her Suisui, but he is the only one who calls her Chuchu. The child has unclear speech and is a bit difficult to speak. When he screams, he turns into a pig...
She is neither fat nor fair now, and he doesn't recognize her anymore.
During the years they were separated, she often fantasized about meeting him again one day. In the first few years, she thought about hugging him and telling him she missed him when she saw him. But as she grew up, she just prayed that she wouldn't be too embarrassed when she met him.
Recalling the scene during the day, she smiled bitterly. No matter what kind of reunion she had now, it would be awkward for him.
She touched her cheek in the dark. It was too thin to hold any flesh, and it didn't have the soft feeling of her childhood. She raised her hands again and looked at her skinny hands in the clear moonlight coming in from the window. The barbs on her fingertips had grown longer due to years of toil and malnutrition. There is a layer of skin on the back of the hand, and when you clench your fist, you can see the blue blood vessels under the skin.
There were many deep and shallow scars on both hands, and there were more scars on his left hand. Jiang Suchu touched them one by one.
There are two strips on the index finger, which are from cutting vegetables when I first learned to cook. There is a very long strip at the tiger's mouth, extending from the thumb to the back of the hand, about three centimeters. It was caused by her aunt asking her to chop wood, but she was too young to hold the hatchet and was injured when she chopped.
There are also some thin scars on the back of the hands, which are difficult to see without looking closely. They were scratched when I was taking care of my cousin when I was a child.
She did not grow up to be the fair and beautiful Snow White. On the other hand, he was not as weak as he was when he was a child, but he grew up into a tall and handsome boy with sunshine.
It was normal for him not to recognize himself today. Even when she looked through the photos of her childhood, it was hard to believe that the girl with her chin raised to the sky and smiling eyebrows would grow into what she looks like now.
Tears unknowingly ran across my cheeks and fell into my ears.
Jiang Suchu withdrew his hand and buried his head in the quilt.
In the first week of school, everyone has not yet recovered, and the teacher has loosened control. Time flies by, and it’s Friday in the blink of an eye.
During recess, Jiang Suchu stood in the middle of Class 1’s team and looked habitually towards the Class 7 team.
He is very tall and stands at the back of Class Seven. The zipper of the school uniform was undone, revealing a white T-shirt underneath. He stood leisurely and leisurely with his hands in his pockets, surrounded by many people, both men and women.
It was obvious that he was not very proactive and enthusiastic, and even seemed a little cold and distant, but it seemed that everyone focused on him.
Only at this time, when she was among the crowd, did she dare to look at him.
The boy who was with him in the stairwell that day must have said something funny, and the group of people burst into laughter.
He also laughed and kicked the boy in a show-off manner, causing a dimple to appear on his right cheek, his expression casual and flamboyant.
Liang Yi climbed on her shoulder and rested his chin on her shoulder: "Some people are born to be the protagonists. Just standing there is enough to attract everyone's attention."
Jiang Suichu calmly looked away, pretending not to know who she was talking about: "Who?"
Liang Yibai glanced at her with an expression that showed you were pretending: "I've been observing you for several days. Every time I fuck you in class, you look at Class 7. Don't think I didn't see it."
Jiang Suichu: "I just looked at everyone and was a little curious."
This is the truth. Every time they go out for sex, the girls gather together to look at Class 7 and whisper, shyly and timidly.
Liang Yi glanced around, looking at the stone faces of the husbands. In contrast, Jiang Suichu's expressionless face looked very indifferent. She knew that Jiang Suchu was admitted from the county below, but she didn't know much about him, so it was not difficult to understand her curiosity.
However, as a master of gossip in No. 1 Middle School, Liang Yi felt that it was necessary for him to educate Jiang Suichu, a master of popular science.
Liang Yi: "How much do you know about Lu Zhinian?"
Liang Yi planned to find out where to start talking to her.
Jiang Suichu's heartbeat stagnated for a moment.
How much do you know about him?
I know that his birthday is December 25th, and he is a Capricorn. I know that he can't have any light when sleeping, and the curtains must be drawn tightly. I know he hates taking medicine, and he has to break the pills when they get bigger. He doesn't like vegetables with special flavors, such as celery and coriander, and he won't even touch them. I also know that he has a slight mysophobia, a strong sense of territoriality, and hates other people touching his things unless they are the closest people.
Are these too many?
Jiang Suchu met Liang Yi's eyes and suddenly said seriously: "Liang Yi, I know him."
I know him before any of you.
Liang Yi was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled and patted her shoulder: "I know. The entire No. 1 Middle School, no, most of the students in colleges and universities in Yun City know him."
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Suchu's mouth.
Look, no one will believe that she knows Lu Zhinian.
How could a rustic country girl from a poor family rely on school tuition exemptions and government subsidies to survive, how could she know Lu Zhinian, the proud son of heaven?
Liang Yi didn't notice Jiang Suichu's expression and started to say: "Lu Zhinian's elementary school is the primary school attached to the No. 1 Middle School, and the junior high school is also the junior high school of the No. 1 Middle School. In the past nine years, he has always been at the top of the No. 1 Middle School. So no one in the No. 1 Middle School doesn't know him. Not only is he smart and well-educated, his family background is also quite impressive. You know, Shengyuan Real Estate, he is from his family, he is the second generation of rich people."
Uncle Lu is in business?
Jiang Suichu's father, Jiang Zhiwei, and Lu Zhinian's father, Lu Shenghua, both worked in the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Jiang Suichu remembered that Uncle Lu had already reached the director level at that time, but he did not expect that he would give up politics and go into business.
Liang Yi: "The boy next to Lu Zhinian is named Tang Zi. His family makes medical equipment and he is also the second generation of rich people. There is also a boy named Pei Shuo, who used to go to No. 1 Middle School, but he seemed to have failed in the high school entrance examination and went to the fourth generation next door. Middle School, the three of them were the living signs of No. 1 Middle School when they were in junior high school.”
No. 4 Middle School and No. 1 Middle School are very close to each other, just one street apart. They are so close that both schools can hear each other's announcements during morning exercises.
"Pei Shuo?"
"Well, Pei Shuo's family is also very powerful. His father seems to be the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."
Jiang Suchu blinked. His father passed away and Uncle Lu was in business. Unexpectedly, only Uncle Pei was still in the Public Security Bureau and was still the director.
Specious.
Liang Yi raised her chin in that direction and then said: "The girl on the right of Lu Zhinian is Tang Mi, from Class 14. She and Tang Zi are twins. It is said that the four of them grew up together and have a very good relationship... ..."
Jiang Suchu looked at the girl named Tang Mi. Under the warm morning sun, the girl had a slender figure. Even wearing a school uniform, she could not hide her beautiful figure. She wore her hair in a high ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead, fair and rosy skin, and a youthful air.
She raised her head and smiled, talking to Lu Zhinian, her jawline curved beautifully. And he tilted his head slightly, listening lazily and casually, with a slight smile on his lips.
The two looked like characters straight out of a teen idol movie.
"What a perfect match." Liang Yi sighed in her ears, "A handsome man and a beautiful woman, a childhood sweetheart, a perfect match."
Childhood sweethearts, what a beautiful word.
When she was dragged into the darkness by the hand of fate, struggling hard, fighting against God in order to grow up as soon as possible, there was already someone around him who took her place and grew up with him.
Jiang Suichu? At most, he can be considered a childhood friend.
