Xinyiwu: Originally

Chapter 15

At that time, after the college entrance examination, as usual, the score was estimated first, and then the volunteers were filled in, and the real score was finally known.Speaking of it, filling out the application is really like a gamble. Good grades are not enough, and a little bit of luck is needed to get admitted to the university of your choice as you wish.

Cheng Zheng is undoubtedly the lucky one. With the highest single subject score in physics in the province, and the second best score in science in the school in terms of comprehensive scores, coupled with his father's relationship at his alma mater, he successfully received the admission to Q University, the highest engineering university in the country. Notification letter for civil engineering major.He received the notice from the smiling school leader, and before he could finish his congratulations and compliments, he hurried to find Lao Sun to inquire about Su Yunjin's situation.He had heard about her grades, and she performed well. Although she couldn't go to the same school as him, there were so many colleges and universities in Beijing, and one of them would open the door for her.

Lao Sun said that the news of Su Yunjin's admission had not yet arrived, and Cheng Zheng suffered from not having her phone number, so he didn't know how to contact her after the holidays, so he went to the school several times to check, and Lao Sun asked him to wait patiently every time.In the end, he used Su Yunjin's student number to check her admission status on the hotline. It turned out that she had been admitted to a southern undergraduate college, and the notice was mailed directly to her home.

Cheng Zheng was puzzled. The school that Su Yunjin got into was neither good nor bad, but with her grades, it would be enough to choose an ordinary secondary school in Beijing. Didn't they agree to be together? But if she Going to that school to report meant that there would be a distance of thousands of miles between the two of them for at least the next four years.After talking about it, Lao Sun let Cheng Zheng read Su Yunjin's volunteer file in private, and Cheng Zheng glanced over it, almost biting his tooth socket.Her aspirations are varied, but there is only one thing in common, the location of the universities they fill in are all far away from the great capital.

After returning home that day, Cheng Zheng locked himself in the room, played games desperately, slept under the pillow, and wandered around the room aimlessly. No matter what he did, he couldn't relieve his disappointment and anger.Why she did this, he still doesn't know, but what is certain is that she deliberately wants to stay away from him.

Someone outside came to congratulate him again. I don't know if it was a colleague of my father or a client of my mother. Since he received the admission notice, this kind of thing has not stopped.His mother, Zhang Jinyin, was at home and knocked on his door after a short while of socializing.

"Son, your Uncle Liu's family is here, come out and talk."

"I'm tired."

"It'll be fine in a while. Your Uncle Liu's child will be in his third year of high school next semester. He said he is learning from you."

Cheng Zheng turned over and sat up and said loudly, "Tell him to take the test wherever you like, but don't go to Beijing, because everyone hates it anyway!"

"You damn child, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Jinyin muttered a few times, then smiled helplessly and explained to her husband's colleagues and family that her son was not feeling well.

Cheng Zheng vaguely heard that so-called "Uncle Liu" compliment politely, saying: "It's rare that this kid has such good grades, and he can still be flattered or humiliated." He lay back heavily, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke. Okay, but in fact, he felt that what he suffered was the biggest insult and deception he could remember, and he couldn't let it go.

She just fell asleep in such a dark state, and the smile when she turned around was repeated in her mind.

"This is what I will pay you back... Cheng Zheng, goodbye..." Her lips pressed against each other, and he wanted to hug her tightly every time, but his hands were closed, and the embrace was empty. She was still a few steps away, smiling and saying goodbye over and over again. .

"Dong dong dong." Someone knocked on the door again. It was the old nanny at home, saying that Meng Xue had come. Cheng Zheng covered his head and said loudly that he had fallen asleep. After a while, Zhang Jinyin called again.

Meng Xue came to tell Cheng Zheng that she had also received an admission notice from a third-rate university in Beijing.Cheng Zheng didn't know why she was so happy, so he said congratulations listlessly.The two of them didn't say a few words, Zhang Jinyin downstairs heard them quarreling, and hurried to look.I saw my son lose his temper, acting like he was chasing customers, and yelling, "I want you to be kind? Who cares about the contact address of that bumpkin? You go, go!"

Meng Xue looked aggrieved.

The relationship between the two families has always been familiar, and Meng Xue often goes to and from Cheng's house.Zhang Jinyin knew that her son had a bad temper, but he was by no means a person without a tutor. Although he and Meng Xue were not close, they were still polite.She hurried forward to smooth things over and asked what was going on.

Meng Xue smiled and said she was fine, but there was also annoyance in her expression, and she left their house soon.Zhang Jinyin didn't know what medicine her son had taken wrongly, and complained: "Are you a man, you are angry at girls."

Cheng Zheng looked gloomy and did not refute.

"Fortunately, when Xiao Mengxue came here, she happily told me that you will all go to school in Beijing in the future and you can take care of each other."

"Who wants to be taken care of by whom? It's not that he has polio and can't take care of himself, it's inexplicable!" Cheng Zheng said angrily.He doesn't hate Meng Xue, he used to think that she was easy to get along with among girls, but he couldn't stand her mentioning the university that Su Yunjin went to at this time, with a sympathetic smile, and even a look of embarrassment. Ran Yu Xin gave him a small note with Su Yunjin's address written on it.Cheng Zheng didn't appreciate it, what he hates most now is hearing this, especially in front of irrelevant people.

Zhang Jinyin ignored him and continued to paint nail polish on her feet.About a few hours later, Meng Xue called. Cheng Zheng hesitated for a while, but he still answered. He finally understood and apologized, but hung up quickly.Probably before he finished speaking, Meng Xue called again, this time Cheng Zheng didn't want to answer again, and asked the old aunt to say that she was not there.

"You can't even tell lies. You just answered the phone. In less than a minute, you can fly to the sky?" Zhang Jinyin laughed.

Cheng Zheng shouted from the room, "Then say I'm dead!"

"There are no taboos in children's words, there are no taboos in children's words." Zhang Jinyin spat at him.

"Who died?" Cheng Yansheng, who had just returned home from get off work, spoke.

Cheng Zheng was lawless and open-minded in front of his mother Zhang Jinyin, but his father Cheng Yansheng had always been serious, and Cheng Zheng didn't dare to go too far, so he silenced his voice sullenly and closed the door.

Cheng Yansheng handed the briefcase to his wife and asked, "What's wrong with your son?"

"It seems to have quarreled with Xiao Mengxue." Zhang Jinyin pursed her lips and smiled.

"What are you arguing about?"

"Anyway, something is wrong with him today."

Cheng Zheng's parents are both busy people, one regards the design institute as a home, and the other flies around all day for business, but whether they are parents or not, their son's abnormal depression still makes them very worried, lest they neglect their children because of work. mind.After finally waiting for the family of three to sit down for dinner, Zhang Jinyin saw that her son was still unhappy, so she started a conversation, "You and Meng Xue..."

"Don't keep me and her together, she is her, and I am me."

Zhang Jinyin raised her brows upside down, "Then why are you making trouble so that no one can be at peace?"

Cheng Yansheng coughed a few times, but still said sternly: "I advise you to think about emotional issues after finishing your studies. At your age, you should focus more on business. How could we be like your generation when we were young?" , eat all day long, and worry about writing new words..." He paused, sighed, and changed the topic, "But Meng Xue, who knows the root and the bottom, only she can bear your temper."

"I told you it wasn't because of her!" Cheng Zheng became stubborn and put his chopsticks away, "When you were young, you devoted yourself to serving the country wholeheartedly. Who was it that tricked my mother before graduating from university?"

Zhang Jinyin burst into a smile, seeing that the old man was about to change his face, and quickly acted as a peacemaker between her husband and son. "Speak slowly, slowly, ancestor, it's not because of Meng Xue, who made you so sad? Don't your father and I care about you? My son looks like me, and girls have been chasing after him since kindergarten Ran……"

"In short, don't worry about it. I'm bothering you. Don't act like you care about a mental patient." Cheng Zheng's family has been passed down through three generations, and he is the only child. Except for his father who occasionally reprimands him with a straight face, he has always been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child. , is an out-and-out bully at home.

"If you don't tell me, I'll guess it. Is it that girl named Su... or something? She's thin and fair."

Cheng Zheng's face flushed immediately, and he stammered, "You...how did you know? You were peeping into my privacy?" His words were groundless, he had no habit of keeping a diary, let alone his good friend Zhou Ziyi. She confessed to someone, and somehow she was told by her mother.

"Do I need to peep? Can you hide things? That little thought is almost written on your face? I found out on the day of the parent-teacher meeting, and I knew how to throw chalk at other girls, and I thought I was pretending to be good , this method is not even as good as your father's."

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Yansheng frowned, "Is there anyone who educates children like this? And you, do all kinds of messy things. Everything your mother said is true? It's Meng Xue again, and it's a girl surnamed Su ..."

Cheng Zheng blushed even more, "How many times have I told you that I'm most annoyed that you associate me with Meng Xue. I'm that kind of messed up person? I wouldn't be like that if I inherited any one of you! "

"That's an admission? You still have the courage to act. Is that because of the girl surnamed Su's displeasure?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Zheng thought of the depressing thing again, his expression changed, and he stopped eating. "I'm full, you eat."

When Zhang Jinyin knocked on the door again and entered her son's room, she found that he was turning his back to her and didn't know what he was doing.

"Son, why don't mother talk to you?"

Cheng Zheng glanced back, "You don't need to talk to me about the dangers of puppy love, I've already lost love."

Zhang Jinyin wanted to laugh, but couldn't.The child she gave birth to herself knew that he had a cheerful personality since he was a child, informal and pampered, and he rarely had trouble getting through it.She walked over to her son and took a look. It turned out that he was tossing the newly released high school graduation photo under the desk lamp, and it seemed that he wanted to pick one of them out of the photo out of anger.

"Why is that?" She sat down beside her son's bed.

Cheng Zheng's subordinates kept on saying, "Nothing, I don't want to see her."

Zhang Jinyin took the photo away from her son, it was the girl that day, not ugly, but not particularly eye-catching, she turned the photo over to look at the name on the back.

"Su Yunjin?"

"I told you not to mention her."

"She doesn't like my son?"

"No, it's because I hate her." Cheng Zheng's mouth was stiff, but the mother could already hear something wrong in his voice, and she just tried to hold back.

"You hate her, just cut off her head. Why do you want to cut off your own head, son, you seem to be a little perverted by doing this... Okay, I won't say it. I remember her home It seems that the person is not in good health, is the person who passed out on the spot her father?"

"Ah."

"I think it's not easy for her to live at home. She seems to have something on her mind at a young age. The children of the poor are already in charge of the family. Did you say that the donation was because of her?"

"Ah."

"Son, listen to me. In fact, I don't think you and her, no matter how you put it, may not be very suitable."

Cheng Zheng, whose hands were busy on the photo, suddenly stopped and looked at Zhang Jinyin in disbelief, "Mom, do you dislike the poor and love the rich? How do you usually say it?"

"No..." Zhang Jinyin sat closer to her son, "Listen to me, I don't mean to look down on children from poor families. On the contrary, children from such families may be more sensible and promising, but..." Zhang Jinyin It's not a lie, her husband Cheng Yansheng was also a poor student back then, and she chose him, which can be said to be married off.However, after nearly 20 years of marriage, she still feels very happy.But sitting in front of her was her only son, and she reached out to touch his short hair.His son's personality is as straight and hard as his hair, stubborn and simple. He looks quite tempered, but his heart is hot, and he doesn't know the sufferings of the world.He said he didn't like doing business, couldn't stand the intrigue and hypocritical entertainment in the mall, and would rather engage in technology.Zhang Jinyin didn't force him, it's not bad to be like his father.The only expectation of the couple for their son is to let him live a simple and happy life. It is best to choose a girl they love in their hearts to fulfill their wishes. They have no requirements for the woman, as long as the son is happy .But she has experienced much more than her son. The girl looks quiet, but her eyes are stubborn, and she hides things in her heart. Coupled with the many changes in the family, she is inevitably gloomy. She is afraid that with her son's temper, she will suffer if she bumps into her .But looking at the current situation, there is no way to persuade.The misfortunes and blessings you get are unpredictable, and you can't ask for more hardships.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jinyin sighed, "Your dad and I just hope you have a good life."

Cheng Zheng forced a smile, which was his response to his mother.Hearing the sound of the door slowly closing behind him, his work was completed.At first, he just wanted to poke her face with his fingers to vent his anger. Even in the graduation photo, she had a calm and calm face. Later, another thought came to him. This was the only one he had that featured her. Photo.He cut out his head and hers, pasted them on a blank piece of cardboard, and they cuddled head to head.

My mother was right. Doing so was really suspicious of perversion. He looked at this "group photo" again and again. For the first time in 18 years, the young man who was going smoothly had a feeling of dread, as if something was missing in his heart, and only then did he realize that there was something wrong with him. Things, the more you want to get them, the harder it is to grasp them.He can solve complicated math problems, but he can't solve her heart.

When she said "goodbye", he really thought that we would see each other soon. From Cheng Zheng's point of view, when she kissed him back, the heart-stirring kiss of her lips was a kind of silent promise. A merciful farewell.

She said, this is what I pay you back.

Cheng Zheng buried his head in the pillow, Su Yunjin, what do you give back?
