i was my mistake

My father bought an old tricycle with 300 yuan. The car was small and looked lighter. It's definitely not as good as the new one, but at least it works.

"Old Zhao, thank you very much."

"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter, when the car breaks down, what's wrong, you can come to me, I'll fix it for you, free of charge!" He laughed and paused, "Of course, the parts still need to be repaired." Count the money, but it’s all cost price, don’t worry, old friend, I won’t cheat you.”

"Okay, okay."

"You can come over for a drink or play when you have nothing to do. My place is a bit out of the way. It's not too far from the apartment you live in now, right? No."

"Well, I will definitely come sometime."

"Then, I won't keep you anymore. It's getting so dark, why don't you go back quickly?"

"Okay." Father nodded and wiped his drunken face, "Wanqing, Ye Chen, sit in the back, we're going back by bike."

"Dad, is it okay for you to drink and ride a bike?" Ye Chen asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's nothing, come up."

"Haha, watch carefully, don't believe what he said too much, this man likes to show off when he drinks."

"Old Zhao, you are talking nonsense again, a few glasses of rice wine, what can I do..."

"Just don't drive into the fields."

"Don't worry, just come on, get in the car!"

"Are you all right, Dad?"

"Oh, it's okay, I'm really not drunk." Father said, staggered, and fell on the slippery snow.

Everyone fell into silence at that moment.

"Pfft..." Wan Qing was the first to laugh out loud.

7. Merry Christmas

Wednesday, November 1996, 12.

Students are always at the forefront of the times. Christmas has not spread in the streets and alleys, but it has already become a festival they celebrate every year.

Perhaps, the Spring Festival belongs to adults, and only Christmas and New Year's Day, which is the New Year in the Gregorian calendar, belong to children.

The snow outside the window stopped last night, but the snow accumulated on the flower beds and branches has not yet melted.

Wan Qing took the tape player to the school, and there was an English tape outside - which happened to be filled with various Christmas songs.

She rested her cheeks and looked out the window. Sitting in this quiet classroom, she didn't want to think, let alone study, she just wanted to spend some time quietly.

"Sunny night, sunny night."

"Why..." She turned her head lazily, with a displeased look, probably because her meditation of emptying her mind was interrupted.

"Is my hair tidy?" She shook her head nervously, showing Wan Qing the single ponytail she just tied.

"……no problem."

"Really? I feel like it's still not neat enough? Could it be too rough? Girls are more careful, right?"

"Whatever you think about, it's almost fine, there's nothing to worry about." Wan Qing yawned lazily, and turned her head away.

Ye Chen lowered his voice: "I'm afraid that if you don't pretend enough, someone will find out that you are a man..."

"Then just take off your pants and let others see if it's a man or a woman."

"Uh……"

"Anything that looks like chocolate and tastes like chocolate is chocolate—even if it's pulled out."

"Can you stop using such a tasteful description..." Ye Chen helplessly covered his forehead, "Look at your hair is messy, let me help you re-do it?"

"what ever."

"You are really not afraid of chaos..."

"Anyway, if you don't delay the matter, if you really delay the matter, you can tie it again."

"What about maintaining the image of a beautiful girl to gain greater benefits?" Ye Chen has already learned to 'attack' her with what Wan Qing said.

"I'm playing an informal girl, don't you think it's very personal?"

"...I can hardly see that this is your excuse."

While chatting, the classroom door that was ajar was pushed open.

In the classroom with only two people, a third person finally ushered in.

"Hey, I'll take a look, so it's really there?" Zhao Jinyu, who was tidy and tidy, smiled happily, "I haven't seen you for a few days, did you miss me?"

"Of course I do, I miss you to death~" Wan Qing responded familiarly, while Ye Chen who was on the side looked a little dodgy and smiled awkwardly.

——She still doesn't know if Zhao Jinyu's memory has been modified by the timeline.

And——the way Wan Qing spoke just now was so numb that she had goosebumps on her skin.

"Phew, I had a fever at home for two days, and I can finally come to school today. Fortunately, I came in time for Christmas, otherwise the gifts I bought would be wasted."

"Gift?"

"Well! Qiang Qiang!" Zhao Jinyu dubbed himself, and took out two small palm-sized gift boxes from his schoolbag, "It's all some candy and gadgets, let's simply celebrate."

"Oh...I didn't expect Imoyo to care about this kind of festival."

"My family believes in Christianity. Although I don't believe in it very much, I definitely want to participate in this kind of interesting festival. I wish you all a Merry Christmas!"

"Let's have fun together."

"Well... Let's have fun together."

"I should give you a hug." As Zhao Jinyu said, he quickly walked forward and hugged Ye Chen first.

She froze in place, her little face flushed quickly.

"Ah... ah?"

"What's the matter, didn't we often hug each other before?" Zhao Jinyu asked suspiciously, "Could it be that they are unfamiliar after not seeing each other for two days? Impossible!"

As she said that, she hugged Ye Chen even more tightly, rubbed her cheek lightly, then let her go, and hugged Wan Qing again.

"You also came here by bike today?"

"Yes, I came here by bicycle, so we can go back together in the evening."

"Okay, we'll wait for you after school."

"Okay, then I'll go back to the classroom first, the papers for these few days must be stuffed in my drawer, I have to find time to write them all." Zhao Jinyu rubbed Wan Qing's cheek vigorously, and it took a while before he let go Turned her off, "Hey, did you use the cream I gave you tonight?"

"Ah, yes."

"Hmm! Is it useful?"

"Very good, no dry skin this winter."

"Really~" She stood up straight and waved her hands, "Then I'm going back to the classroom."

"it is good."

Zhao Jinyu came briskly, and ran away even brisker. When she walked out of the classroom, Ye Chen and Wan Qing looked at each other.

"Do you feel...?" Ye Chen was hesitating what words to use to describe it.

And Wan Qing directly spoke for her: "It seems to be more enthusiastic."

"right."

"Also, the memory seems to have been modified."

"Alas..." Ye Chen raised his hand and wanted to scratch his head, but remembered that he had combed his hair neatly just now, so he changed to scratching his cheek, "I'm relieved, but I'm a little sad."

"The only outsider who can remember the boy Ye Chen, also failed to remember, right?"

"Yes."

"Just remember it yourself, why do you have to let others affirm your past?"

"Hey, Wan Qing, you occasionally say a few words of human language."

"Climb aside for me, which sentence I said is not a philosophy of life?"

"cut……"

The number of students in the classroom gradually increased. Compared with the previous few days, today's students obviously added more clothes.

Some people wear too many clothes inside, and the school uniforms that were originally roomy have become a bit small and bulging.

Some people, like Wan Qing and the others, wore thicker coats for the way here.

After all, when there are more people in the classroom, it will get warmer.

The premise is that some boys don't have to open the window.

Wan Qing recently discovered the benefits of this girl's body.

Because it is thin enough and soft enough, you can put your legs directly on the chair, then hug your knees, and cover them with loose and warm clothes, so that your legs will not feel cold.

Even after taking off the cotton shoes, there will be no such cold sweat.

Anyway, how comfortable it is, if conditions permit, Ye Chen suspects that she will even set up a stove beside her to keep warm.

Christmas is also a time for students to get closer to friends or loved ones by giving gifts.

"Squad leader." Shen Huijuan took out a Christmas hat on her thumb, shook it slightly, and there was a rope attached to it, which seemed to be used as a pendant on a key, "Merry Christmas."

"Tong Le..." Wan Qing was a little surprised, "But I didn't prepare a Christmas present, sorry."

"It's okay. I just saw this when I was shopping last night. I thought it was cute so I bought some. Ye Chen, can I give you one too?"

"Ah...thank you."

However, what was even more surprising was that there were many girls who were acquainted or not so familiar, who gave Wan Qing gifts after entering the classroom, and most of the time they didn't bring Ye Chen's.

Wan Qing, who had never been noticed by girls before, felt flattered for a rare moment.

"What's going on, what's going on? Am I so attractive that girls like me?"

"...How do I know." Ye Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, "Have you added any relevant memories?"

"No." She looked blank.

At this moment, someone came over suddenly.

This time it's a boy.

That's right, they were the remaining two of the trio without Ye Chen.

——Yang Zeng and Jiang Xing.

The tall Jiang Xing smiled embarrassedly, and Yang Zeng pushed him up.

"Why...?" Seeing Yang Zeng showing a shy expression towards him, Ye Chen's hairs stood on end.

"Uh, here's a Christmas present for you." He hurriedly put the bag in his hand on her table, "I hope you like it, this, this, don't get me wrong, it's the proof of our good relationship, my It means, it's that kind of friend relationship, don't get me wrong...Damn it, Yang Zeng, don't push it!"

Ye Chen didn't know what expression to make at this time.

"Hey, I have a share too." Yang Zengqian laughed twice, and stood up from behind Jiang Xing, "Let's hang out together when we have time."

"it is good……"

After putting down the gift, the two hurried back to their seats, and even started copying their homework as usual.

"What are they... doing?" Ye Chen looked at Wan Qing anxiously, "No way, it's not so, so disgusting, is it?"

"I can't tell." Wan Qing also blinked her eyes a few times in doubt, her gem-like green pupils showed some doubts, "But it seems that it's not the kind of liking between men and women, but friends. Do you have any memories of the love between them?"

"I do not have it."

The two stared at each other, both a little confused about the situation.
