Chapter 13 Cinderella Without Dreams (1)
June is the thunderstorm season in this city, and the day of the college entrance examination finally came as scheduled with a heavy rain.Those two and a half days came and went in a hurry, nothing special, and in retrospect, it was like a dream.But three years of high school life, all the hardships, tension, patience, and confusion, also came to an end in these two and a half days.

On the night of the exam, most senior high school seniors spontaneously organized carnival activities.Cheng Zheng's class reserved a large box at a KTV near the school.More than 30 people were squeezed into the box originally designed to accommodate 50 people, and the scene was spectacular.The sudden sense of relaxation and loss after the big exam made these high school seniors, who had been tense for a long time, eager to find an outlet to vent their emotions. They were all slumped on the sofa.

After several boys shouted "True Heroes" while grabbing the microphone, the mournful prelude to "Rolling Red Dust" sounded.A boy held up a microphone and shouted: "Who ordered the song? Who ordered it?" At first, no one answered, but someone eagerly urged, "If no one sings, cut it out and replace it with another one."

"Who says there is no one, give me the microphone." Cheng Zheng stood up suddenly, and took the microphone with his hand.

"What did you order?" Zhou Ziyi sat next to him with a half-can of beer in hand, "I've never heard you sing before, buddy."

"What, do you have an opinion?"

"That's not true, but this is a love song duet..." Zhou Ziyi pretended to be shy and leaned his head on Cheng Zheng's shoulder,

"How about I sing with you?"

"As far as you can go." Cheng Zheng shook him away, and Zhou Ziyi grinned and yelled a few times, "What about the heroine, brothers and sisters, everyone is sensible, please hurry up and invite the heroine..."

Su Yunjin, who was sitting in a corner, hadn't figured out the situation before she was squeezed out from the dark by countless hands. In the end, some narrow-minded ghost pushed her hard behind her. He slammed into a certain target, and the man grabbed her quickly with sharp eyes, shook her to stabilize his body, and then whistled and screamed overwhelmingly.

Fortunately, the dim light made it hard to see the embarrassment on her face. Su Yunjin didn't care about the pain in her arm, and frantically tried to break free from that person, and both of them fell on the sofa during the tumult. Rolling away with a cry of pain, the voice sounded like Zhou Ziyi.

No matter how slow she was, she could still guess who the person beside her was. The sofa was too wide and soft. She sank into it and had to support it with both hands to struggle to sit up. Press firmly on the cushion behind you.Even in an instant, Su Yunjin could feel that her hands were trembling with nervous sweat, as if she was going to use all her strength to grab her tightly, and adjusted several postures to hold her firmly.She turned her face and saw Cheng Zheng's face as if nothing had happened.

Without saying a word, he handed the microphone to Su Yunjin with his other hand.

Su Yunjin moved her left hand, clenched her fist and placed it on the side of her leg. Then, avoiding Cheng Zheng's gaze, she said apologetically, "Sorry, I don't know how to sing this song." Trying to stand up, the hands behind him gripped even tighter.

At this time, a song was already halfway through, Zhou Ziyi yelled: "Then who is on the karaoke station, why don't you play it again?"

So the familiar prelude to "Rolling Red Dust" sounded again, and this time the surrounding area was much quieter.The swaying light and shadow slid across Chengzheng's cheeks, changing light and darkness on his face again and again. He seemed to have never been so silent and stubborn. Take back the meaning.Su Yunjin pursed her lips, but refused to answer.

"Come again, replay, what are you waiting for?" Zhou Ziyi was anxious, and walked to the karaoke stand by himself.

"No, I really can't sing."

Some people around have already noticed something is wrong, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the scene suddenly became a little awkward.Zhou Ziyi played the song again, and at this moment, a slender hand protruded from Cheng Zheng's side, and involuntarily took down the microphone that was hanging alone in mid-air in his hand.

"I'll sing, this song is my favorite." Meng Xue held the microphone, looked at the big screen with a smile, gently swayed her body with the rhythm of the music, as if she was intoxicated in the song, and had no idea what happened just now.

Cheng Zheng didn't speak, Su Yunjin's hand behind her was in severe pain, the force was brutal and inappropriate, she frowned and used her other hand to make a relief, pulling and pulling, somehow, their fingers got entangled.Only now did Cheng Zheng loosen his grip on her right wrist, and clasped the ten fingers of her left hand tightly.Su Yunjin seemed to have been cast some kind of mysterious spell, and she couldn't move for a while, as if the hand was no longer her own.Perhaps sensing her hesitation, Cheng Zheng's hands also relaxed, rubbing his knuckles lightly, cautiously and joyfully.

No one saw the ambiguity behind this, but Su Yunjin woke up when Meng Xue's singing sounded.After all, the gesture of entwining her fingers was weak, so she took the opportunity to get up, and with a twitch of her hand, she was able to get away.

Cheng Zheng also stood up, confused and angrily asked: "What did you promise me?"

No one could see their battle behind the scenes just now. At this time, many people heard what he said, and Meng Xue's singing voice was out of rhythm, "...you who didn't care at first, and the boy who didn't care. Me, the love in the world of mortals is only because of the hurried and silent stagnation of life..."

Su Yunjin took a breath, and said in a low voice, "Excuse me, I'll go to the bathroom." She walked sideways between Cheng Zheng and the coffee table, and he had no intention of avoiding it. Su Yunjin's shoulder hit his stiff arm, A dull pain somewhere in the body.

Walking out of the noisy box, the outside is like another world, through the closed door, the singing voice in the box can be heard faintly, "...the heart that should belong to you, it still protects my chest tightly, only for the world The turning hand behind the transformed face..."

This was originally Su Yunjin's favorite song, she was never embarrassed to sing it out loud on weekdays, she only dared to hum it softly occasionally, he even knew it.

She took a deep breath, and since they were all out, she simply walked towards the bathroom.On the way, she was bumped into by an oncoming reckless guy again and let out a low cry. She rubbed her shoulders and looked up. It turned out to be Zhou Ziyi. She had seen him in the box just now, and she ran out at some point.

Su Yunjin and Zhou Ziyi said they were familiar with each other, but they had some contact because of Cheng Zheng's relationship.She looked him up, and found that the face that usually had a smirk on his face looked a little flustered at this moment, knowing that he bumped into someone, but didn't say sorry, and ran past Su Yunjin as if flying past Su Yunjin like that. It is not too much to run away.

Su Yunjin continued to walk forward suspiciously, only to see Mo Yuhua's figure half hidden in the backlight at a corner not far away.

"Yu Hua, what are you doing here alone?" When Su Yunjin approached, she actually understood a lot in her heart.

Hearing the sound, Mo Yuhua turned his head to look at Su Yunjin, his eyes seemed to glisten in the dark, but his voice was calm. "Did you see it? His appearance... It's nothing more than encountering a scourge."

Su Yunjin sighed from the bottom of her heart, quietly stood beside her roommate, was silent for a moment, then said: "You told him all about it."

Mo Yuhua looked elsewhere, and said with a smile, "I'm so stupid, right?"

"Don't say that. Would it make you feel better if you cried?" Su Yunjin felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"Why are you crying?" Mo Yuhua laughed at himself, "I expected it to be like this. Really, I just wanted to go to the bathroom. He drank too much and threw up before he got there. I asked him how he was, and he threw up. Wan Wan jokingly said that I look like a doctor. I said, I plan to study medicine, and he laughed, saying that marrying a wife who is a doctor will save a lot of trouble... I thought at the time, maybe God gave me one last chance to speak out, after today, after this time, maybe I can never speak again. Then I said it, and he ran away."

She paused, and smiled hard at Su Yunjin, "Actually, I didn't expect any results. I know this is impossible better than anyone else. It's just that I have kept this secret for too long. After graduation, I don't know when it will happen in the future." Goodbye, will we see you again? Now he knows that there is a fool who has secretly liked him for the past three years. Although she is not smart or beautiful, although he has never looked at her directly, this fool likes someone alone There is no difference between her thoughts and other girls. I said it, and my goal has been achieved. If you want to be kind, why should you be sad?"

Su Yunjin's heart was in a mess, her wrist hurt even worse, her fingers were connected to her heart, and the sound of singing in the distance stirred her heartstrings.

"It's easy to come, hard to go, decades of travel in the world, parting is easy, getting together is hard to get together, the eternal sorrow of love and hate, so you who don't want to go, you want to say goodbye to me who has disappeared..." Meng Xue's words What a lovely voice, as sweet as her person.

Su Yunjin didn't hear Cheng Zheng's voice, nor did she hear Cheng Zheng sing, as Mo Yuhua said, maybe she won't hear it in the future.

Mo Yuhua went back to school early, and Su Yunjin hurried into the bathroom until she completely put aside the singing.Standing in front of the mirror at the sink, she washed her face with cold water, and then carefully looked at the wet face in the mirror.What Cheng Zheng saw, what Cheng Zheng said he liked, was also the face in front of her?
She never mentioned it, but that doesn't mean she forgot.That night, the kiss he landed on her brows and eyes, and then rolled on her lips, carried a unique and arrogant heat, which made her mistakenly think that the lingering warmth was still there after a long time.No one's heart is made of iron, let alone an ordinary girl like her, a boy who is as good as Cheng Zheng favors her, even if his way makes people laugh and cry, saying that she is not moved at all, I don't believe it.For a long time, Su Yunjin thought over and over, there are so many girls, why is he the only one who pesters her so hard, why is it her?Of course, love could be explained without any justification, and she could just as easily accept his enthusiasm as Cinderella accepted the Prince.But the crux of the problem is precisely - she does not want to be Cinderella.
