Yin is love: the reversal of women chasing men

Chapter 2 The Little Thing of First Love (1)
Zhou Chengyin has been lazy since she was a child. Of course, this laziness is mainly reflected in reading. When it comes to having fun, she will not lose to any of the children around her. When I turned around to write on the blackboard, I took a quick bite of the birthday cake my classmate had just given me;

The head teacher often took her to the office and taught her in a tone of hatred, "Zhou Chengyin, you can actually learn it. You are not stupid at all, why don't you want to put more effort into your studies?"

Yeah, why not?
When standing in front of the teacher, Cheng Yin also thought about this problem seriously, but as soon as she left the office, all the persuasive temptations turned into clouds, and she was still the naughty girl who had no heart and no lungs, and took errands in get out of class to have fun after class.

It's not that Cheng Yin doesn't want to study hard, but as soon as she picks up a boring textbook, she can't stop feeling sleepy.Fortunately, although her grades were not top-notch and were always in the middle ranks, they never fell.

At the end of each semester, Ms. Zhou glanced at her report card, which was neither surprising nor frightening. If you don't have a good job, if you can't find a good job, you won't meet a good partner, Yinyin, your grades are not good!"

Father Zhou is much more open-minded than his mother. He doesn’t have high demands on his daughter, as long as he can live a happy life. He also persuaded Mother Zhou, “We Yinyin can keep our grades at this level every year without making progress or regressing. , this is also a skill!"

While Zhou's mother raised her voice to complain about her father, Cheng Yin smiled and hooked her father's neck, and kissed him hard on the cheek.

The reason why she lived such a happy and free childhood is all thanks to her lovely father.

Father Zhou is the only child in the family and his parents died young. He suffered a lot when he was young, and he also worked hard. Unfortunately, he didn't catch up with the good times, and all his efforts were in vain.When you get older, you will slowly ponder over the taste. Human power is actually very small. There will be a hand of fate quietly lying behind your back, pushing you to where you should go.

When Cheng Yin was young, she always couldn't understand her father's mysterious rhetoric. Sometimes when she was walking, she would suddenly turn her head, hoping to see that wonderful pushing hand.

Until one day, when she met Yang Fan, the doubts in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she finally believed that the hand of fate did exist.

The relationship between Yang Fan and her is a bit of a mouthful.

Cheng Yin has two aunts and one uncle, all of them have boys, and they are all older than her. In other words, she has three cousins, and Yao Yuan, the eldest cousin of her uncle's family, is a whole round older than her. He got married at the age of 24. At that time, Cheng Yin was still a kid who hadn't even graduated from elementary school.

Yao Yuan's bride is called Li Hui, and she has a cousin named Yang Fan.

On the day of the wedding, Cheng Yin followed her third cousin Tang Ye, who was similar in age to her and was also the best friend, among the mighty wedding procession, and headed for Li Hui's natal family, a village called Tianfang.

The Li family belonged to a prominent family in the local area, and the sprawling relatives and the villagers who came to watch the fun surrounded the originally quite spacious yard.

When Li Hui, who was dressed in a splendid attire, finally appeared in front of the Yao family, Cheng Yin was pinned down by her relatives and called the bride "Big Cousin", and Li Hui handed her a red envelope with a blushing face, which was regarded as recognition. cousin.

Based on this logic, Cheng Yin should have called Yang Fan, who was five years older than her, "cousin", even though she had no idea that such a person existed in that chaotic scene at the time.

In the countryside in April, the spring breeze is full of intoxicating aromas, butterflies and bees are swarming in the cauliflower fields, and the birds on the old trees are chirping happily, all of which make Cheng Yin, who has lived in the city for a long time, curious with uplifting.

The second aunt understood Cheng Yin's virtue, so she repeatedly told her son Tang Ye to keep an eye on her cousin, but Tang Ye was called by the overwhelmed uncle to do a little favor and came back, Cheng Yin had already disappeared.

At this time, Cheng Yin was struggling to climb up a crooked-neck tree with a child from an unknown relative of the Li family that he had just met. Very delicious.

Cheng Yin had never climbed a tree before, but with all her courage, she quickly met up with the boy at the top of the tree. She was looking around for the location of the bird's nest, when suddenly there was an order from under the tree. "Xiaowei, come down."

Xiao Wei, whose eyes were shining just now, heard the voice, his head drooped immediately, and he cast a glance at Cheng Yin who didn't know why, and obediently slipped down the tree without saying a word.

Cheng Yin was baffled, she broke open the branches and looked out, and saw a young man in a white shirt standing under the tree, his body was thin but tall, with one hand in his trouser pocket, and the other helping Xiaowei tidy up the mess With new clothes, I didn't see him scolding or making a serious face, just frowning slightly, Xiaowei behaved like a little chicken, which surprised Cheng Yin very much.

"Who else is there?" the boy asked Xiaowei in a low voice.

"I don't know either." Xiaowei muttered, "It seems to be a relative of Brother Yao Yuan."

With sharp ears, Cheng Yin listened carefully, and immediately leaned on the tree trunk and introduced herself loudly, "My name is Zhou Chengyin, and Yao Yuan is my eldest cousin!"

The boy looked up at her, with a slight smile in his eyes, probably infected by the girl's straightforwardness, "You are Zhou Chengyin? You have a brother who is looking for you."

"Is it my third brother?"

"It should be, you should hurry down."

"Oh, good!"

But climbing a tree is easy and getting down a tree is difficult.

At that time, Cheng Yin was riding on the highest point of the crooked neck of the jujube tree, which was about three meters above the ground. If she wanted to get off, she had to climb back along the crooked neck first, and then climbed up to the trunk of the jujube tree and then along the trunk of the jujube tree. slip down.

Just as she backed up little by little, the crooked neck branches trembled violently with her movements as if teasing her.

Looking down, there is an empty space of three meters high. If you fall, you may not be able to fall into a piece of meat, but breaking a leg is definitely not a problem. Not only that, but her beautiful new clothes will probably be ruined along with it.

The courage to climb the tree just now was gone, and she crawled on the crooked neck of the jujube tree, her face twisted, and she couldn't move an inch.

The boy and Xiaowei stood under the tree and waited quietly for her.

"I, I can't get down." Cheng Yin hugged the tree pole, blushing and neck thick, "The tree keeps shaking."

"I'll go up and pick her up." Xiaowei volunteered and was eager to try, but first he asked his brother's opinion with his eyes.

The boy glanced at him, "Do you want to be punished? Auntie won't forgive you if you dirty your clothes again."

Xiaowei pursed his lips tightly and stopped talking.

The boy approached the old tree, weighed the distance, and said confidently to Cheng Yin: "Come down a little more, and then jump down. Don't be afraid, I will catch you."

His calm tone gave Cheng Yin confidence, so she closed her eyes and carefully moved down a few steps, then lowered her head to look at the boy's open arms ready to meet her, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, her hands Released the tree trunk.

The body immediately lost its center of gravity and fell. Before she could scream, the whole body was firmly supported. Soon, she stood safely on the ground.

"Thank you brother!" Cheng Yin immediately expressed her gratitude.

The young man twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a faint smile, and walked away leisurely with his arms around Xiaowei's neck.

This is the first time Cheng Yin and Yang Fan have met each other, and he gave her the impression that he is very clean - this is very similar to Tang Ye who loved smug beauty since childhood.What is different from Tang Ye is that Yang Fan seems to have a kind of magical power. He can shock other children without saying much, let alone put on a fierce expression. People can't help but want to listen to him obediently, just like a mature and calm adult , and he was only 17 years old that year.

In the next few years, Cheng Yin never met him again except for the occasional few words about Yang Fan from Li Hui. In her heart, he was a vague and graceful white phantom.

It was three years since I saw Yang Fan again.

Cheng Yin is the only girl and the youngest in her mother's third generation, so she has been doted on by her elders since she was a child. Every summer vacation, she would receive warm invitations from her uncles and aunts, and she would go there The second aunt's house was the most popular, because Tang Ye would take her around.

But in the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, Tang Ye, who was two years older than her, had no time to accompany her because she participated in the intensive class organized by the school, so she had to go to her uncle's house to help her aunt trace the embroidery pattern, and she felt bored within a few days , when he was thinking about how to tell his aunt that he wanted to go home early, his cousin Li Hui suddenly mentioned the news that Yang Fan had been admitted to a certain university in the United States at dinner.

"Grandma is very happy. She said that she plans to hold a table for him this Saturday. It will be a farewell banquet. Yao Yuan and I should go there too!"

As soon as Li Hui uttered Yang Fan's name, Cheng Yin immediately thought of the spotless young man in white clothes under the jujube tree, and her scattered thoughts suddenly gathered.

Yao Yuan hated socializing the most, and said disapprovingly: "Isn't it just to study abroad! It's not a big deal, just get together with your family."

Li Hui suddenly became unhappy, "If you don't want to go, what will grandma think? You are her grandson-in-law, and she specified that you should go!"

Seeing that the daughter-in-law was angry, the uncles and aunts also advised Yao Yuan, "Let's go, it's rare for the old man to be happy. Even if there is no such thing, you should accompany Xiaohui back to see more."

"Tsk tsk, your family has a lot of things to do." Yao Yuan shook his head helplessly.

My aunt suggested again, "Why don't you take Yinyin with you, she must be bored at home drawing patterns with me these two days."

Yao Yuan looked at Cheng Yin lazily, "Do you want to go?"

He thought that everyone was the same as him, annoyed by the enthusiastic villagers who went to Tianfang to socialize.

"I want to go!" It was Cheng Yin's happy and loud voice that answered him.

In Cheng Yin's memory, Tianfang will always be set with golden cauliflowers as the background, but this time the season is wrong, the cauliflowers have already withered, and the rape stalks are covered with tender green rapeseeds.

Along the way, Li Hui talked tirelessly about the brilliant study experience of her gifted cousin. Yao Yuan didn't care to listen at all. He was depressed because he missed the meeting with friends in the morning and about to miss the game in the afternoon. , listening with great interest, so that Li Hui will not be too boring.

It turns out that Yang Fan is not the only child, he also has an older sister, probably because his parents have good genes and are extremely smart, so he left the country two years ago.Not only Yang Fan's parents, but even the Li family are proud of this pair of grandchildren.

Although Li Hui's grandparents are over 70 years old, their bodies are very strong and their memories are very clear. When they saw Cheng Yin, they immediately recognized her.

"Yao Yuan, isn't this the little cousin of your third aunt's family! When you married Xiao Hui, you were still a skinny kid. We haven't seen each other for three years, and you're now a grown-up girl!"

Cheng Yin had heard this kind of polite talk for a long time, but Grandma Li's kind and hearty attitude made her very happy.She has a sweet mouth, and her two big and round almond eyes have already wandered around looking for Yang Fan's figure.

People from Li's family came and went in an endless stream. Cheng Yin even met Li Xiaowei who climbed the tree with her back then, but she didn't see Yang Fan.

She didn't understand why she was so eager to see him, but she just vaguely felt that she couldn't come here in vain.

Cheng Yin took a chance and asked Xiaowei, "Where's brother Yang Fan?"

"He said he had something to do in the morning, so he had to come over later." Xiaowei didn't stutter, but his eyes flickered.

He is one year younger than Cheng Yin, and the boy develops later, except for a little twitching, there is almost no change from three years ago, but what makes Cheng Yin funny is that he is the same as the male students in his class, My face turns red when I talk to girls.

The more he dared not look at Cheng Yin, the more she wanted to tease him, "Then do you know that he is going to study abroad for a few years?"

"I heard from him that he plans to study for an undergraduate degree first, and then a master's degree, and then it depends on the situation."

"Will he come back after studying?"

"I don't know about that." Xiaowei came to his senses as he spoke, "Why do you care so much about my brother?"

"Gah! Do I have one?" Cheng Yin widened her eyes and blinked a few times, "I won't talk about him with you, so what else can we talk about, should we continue talking about the bird's nest on the jujube tree in front of the door? "

Xiao Wei blushed and laughed.

It was not until the eve of the banquet that Cheng Yin saw Yang Fan. He was sitting opposite her. comparable.

It was at that moment that Cheng Yin suddenly changed her usual open-mouthed and joking attitude in public, and became unusually quiet.

Her changes were only noticed by Yao Yuan, who was used to being familiar with her. He thought that she was not used to the closeness and enthusiasm of the Li family, or that the food that day was not to her liking, so he used the time left over from the entertainment to choose Cheng Yin to suit her. taste dishes.

During the lively banquet, no one knew what kind of violent storm was blowing up in Cheng Yin's heart. This storm made her think of a lot in a short period of time, including the first nine years of her study career that she played away, and her future.

Suddenly, a strong impulse surged in her heart, she wanted to study hard, she wanted to be like Yang Fan, who after getting excellent grades sat in the banquet and was boasted by the elders, and these were not the most important.

The most important thing is that she wants to catch up with Yang Fan one day and sit side by side with him.

At noon on this scorching summer day, Cheng Yin's heart was hit by some kind of force, sober and excited.It was as if a layer of cocoon paper that had been covering her heart for a long time was torn apart with a hula, and her world suddenly became clear and she had a place to go.

She still doesn't know what the scene of studying abroad will be, is it the Paris fashion show every spring, or the snowflakes flying in Canada, or the free-spirited hippies on the streets of New York?
No matter what kind, for her, both are synonymous with romance.

And the source of all her romantic imaginations is sitting opposite her at this moment, as gentle as jade, talking and laughing.

It's a pity that Yang Fan doesn't see her in his eyes. Except when he nodded and smiled at her at the first introduction, he never looked at Cheng Yin again, as if she didn't exist at all.

Cheng Yin grew up so old, and the word "discouraged" never appeared in the dictionary. She was well versed in the genius law of "if there is no condition, one must create the condition", and she soon became concerned.

She slowly smiled at a table of steaming dishes, her smile was eerie and indistinguishable, watching Yao Yuan in the fog, looking at the half-dried cashew nuts on her plate, and scooped them up for her again as if in a daze a spoonful.

After the banquet was over, the women of the Li family were busy clearing away the leftovers, when they suddenly saw a pretty girl in a short white skirt standing at the next table, raising her orchid fingers and stacking the dirty dishes one by one, staring intently at the table. Look, it turned out to be Zhou Chengyin, a city girl who came with Yao Yuan.

"Ouch, put it down, put it down! Be careful not to stain your skirt!" A woman who looked like an aunt rushed over to stop Cheng Yin, "How can you let a customer do such a thing!"

As soon as she yelled, the attention of the rest of the people also gathered. After some politeness, everyone praised Cheng Yin one after another, "This little girl is really nice, she knows how to take the initiative to help adults, and she must be a virtuous person when she gets married in the future." Good daughter-in-law! Hehe! Haha!"

Cheng Yin glanced quickly at the crowd standing outside the door amidst the praise from everyone, and sure enough, she saw Yang Fan among them, looking back at herself with a smile.

She was not dissuaded, but became more energetic. While busy, she pursed her lips and smiled sweetly. If she was given a mirror now, she would be very satisfied with her hardworking and virtuous image.

Li Hui frowned and looked at the joyous Cheng Yin, and whispered to Yao Yuan, "It's really strange, your sister doesn't touch the spring water at home, how come she suddenly became sensible?"

Yao Yuan shrugged, he naturally didn't understand, but he still answered, "Yinyin is not young anymore!"

After cleaning up the dishes, Cheng Yin insisted on helping to wash the dishes, but no matter how much she tried to persuade her, she couldn't stop her. An aunt had no choice but to bring her a big plastic basin, fill it with clean water, adjust the detergent, and give it to her again. She brought a stack of dishes and took a small bench, Cheng Yin sat comfortably and began to wash the dishes.

Humming a little tune, she changed a pile of dirty bowls from left to right one by one, from dirty to clean, filled with a sense of accomplishment.

During cleaning intervals, she would also raise her head and take a sneak peek at the people gathered under the jujube tree to enjoy the cool and drink tea. Yao Yuan and Yang Fan stood beside them, chatting for some reason.This scene made Cheng Yin inexplicably happy.

This is a group of idlers who have nothing to do with her, but because of a coincidence, she has been involved with them, and Yang Fan is just one of this group of people.

This is where the magic of fate comes from.

When she raised her face again, she suddenly found that Yang Fan was walking straight towards her. She didn't have time to prepare her mind, she panicked, and she stretched out her hand to stack the bowls with too much force, and finally knocked it down Clean dishes.

The crackling sound made her become the focus of the crowd again, but this time she was so embarrassing, the floor was covered with debris and a panic-stricken face made even Yang Fan, who was just passing by here, have to stop and squat down Concerned and asked, "Did you hurt your hand?"

"No." She answered dully, full of shame and embarrassment, that feeling she never felt even when she was called into the office by the teacher to give a harsh lesson, she seemed to have accidentally bit an apple handed by Satan, and fell asleep The sense of shame is thus awakened.

"It's good that your hands are fine." Yang Fan felt relieved and smiled at her in relief. He didn't get up and leave immediately, but helped her pick up the broken bowl pieces and threw them into the dustpan beside her.

The two aunts who were washing the dishes nearby also ran over in a panic. Seeing that Cheng Yin was safe and sound, they were relieved. Breaking a few bowls was a trivial matter. If the children of the Yao family were to suffer even the slightest injury here, they would not be able to justify it. of.

Because of Yang Fan's help, Cheng Yin quickly got rid of her shame, and got a chance to have a close communication with him because of a blessing in disguise.

"Brother Yang Fan, which university in the United States are you going to study?"

"University of Pennsylvania."
