Moonshine & Valentine: His Excellency’s First Love (Love Knot) - Chapter 17

Everyone has a way to manage their memories.

For example, Zhang Peipei likes to write a diary. Like Lu Xun, he only writes one or two lines a day. The six years of middle school can only be summarized in three thin books. She doesn’t shy away from showing it to Pippi, because the content is mostly unclear. There were also a lot of vulgar words: rely on, **** and so on. Sentences cursing classmates, criticizing teachers, and slandering schools abound, just like a barbarian. For example, when she wore a good dress, she was scolded as a vixen; Wang Xuan was praised for the taste of a good dress when she wore a good dress. For example, when I watched “Heart Has Thousand Thousand Knots” in class, I was caught by the teacher and tore it on the spot, causing her to pay three times the fine. For example, He Yumin said that he liked a certain boy, and it spread to the whole class the next day. For example, for a classmate’s birthday party, the girls around the seat were invited, but she was not invited alone. For example, Xiaoqian borrowed her bicycle to buy something, but was stolen, and she said sorry. In a nutshell, Zhang Peipei’s diary is a history of bad deeds in the second and seventh high school. ——This just proves Pippi’s impression of Zhang Peipei: Peipei is very smart, but lives very confused. Her father was rich, but he used the wrong place. If she didn’t rely on her father’s money to enter C City No. 1 Middle School, but went to a regular middle school, she would have a more brilliant youth.

In C City One Middle School, a small society based on scores, Pepe can only use money to buy friendship. However, the values ​​of most people in middle school are still immature, and the role of money is not as great as that of adult society. Many friendships cannot be completely bought even if they are rich. For example, Wang Yumin, such as Dong Xiaoqian, how much Pei Pei spends cannot influence them, unless they can get a better ranking than them. This is certainly not the worst part of Pepe.

As a group of the second and seventh high school, there will be a kind of collective emotion, or a certain “aura”. It is impossible to be positive every day, and there must be a place to vent negative emotions. It’s like a country where the economy is booming, but at the same time it has to engage in some ball games to give the people a place to scold it. After the forty students in the second and seventh class of senior high school, they have undertaken this important task. So much competition, so much jealousy, so much loss, so much unwillingness are finally manifested in the complete contempt and extreme hatred of the few students in the class. At first, I just thought they were stupid. Gradually, I found that there were problems in treating others and lack of moral character. They were not pleasing to the eye. Just like the lowest caste in India, contact with them became taboo. Among these few students, some are called “rice buckets”, some are called “madness”, and some are called “flatters”. The one called the “fairy” is Pepe. Pepe, who knew that she was a fairy, soon began to gain weight, so fat that she would drink Dongding Oolong tea every day to lose weight. Pepe then invented a verb, and she was “frozen” by the second and seventh high school class.

Pippi also wrote a diary. In the diary, I wrote many obscure poems in praise of Jialin, mainly in the style of Gibran, and sometimes written very long after learning from Byron’s “Don Juan.” On the surface, Pippi is a gentle and obedient girl, but her heart is as savage as Pepe, and her diary is full of complaints and dissatisfaction with her parents and teachers. Although she kept her diary very carefully, her mother found her mother’s grievances in the drawer. Pippi’s mother was furious after reading. She beat her daughter for the first time in her life. Pippi then changed her strategy. Instead of buying the well-decorated thick leather book that would be known as a diary at first glance, she used three An exercise book with a dime. After writing a copy, seal it up and hand it to Jialin for collection.

Because someone keeps it safe, her diary is getting longer and longer. In three years, she wrote more than 30 pamphlets, and Jialin said that even her home is a bit unsafe. As a result, Pippi’s diary was sealed in a cardboard box by him, and stored in his grandfather’s home. The sealing ceremony was very formal. Jia Lin affixed a seal in front of Pippi, and Pipi signed on it and wrote the year, month and day. The junction between the seal and the carton was filled with Pippi and Jia Lin’s fingerprints. Jialin even legally asked Pippi how to deal with these diaries in case Pippi encounters an accident during this period, and soon passes away. Pippi said that the diaries must never fall into the hands of parents, and she hopes that Jialin will destroy them all immediately.

In fact, what Pippi thought in his heart was that these diaries were originally written for Jialin, and it would be nice if Jialin peeked. It’s a pity that he is a gentleman, so he has never opened it.

Peipei said that Tao Jialin is the primary target of the prostitution of the female prostitutes started by the No. 1 Zhongqing Dou Chu in City C. He is safe because of adultery. Jia Lin always looks like a modest gentleman who is generous to others, but in fact he is not close to anyone except Guan Pippi. And Guan Pippi was unanimously regarded by the girls as absolutely uncompetitive. It seems that from the beginning, everyone has defined the relationship between Jialin and Pippi as the relationship between the neighbor’s eldest brother and the neighbor’s younger sister, which is a kind of voluntary care. Rumors spread more and more. What Pippi dad rescued Jialin’s dad on the battlefield; what Jialin was brought up by Pippi’s grandmother; what Pippi mother and Jialin’s mother are best friends; in short, Jialin must Take care of Pippi. The girls who are in love at the beginning will subscribe to film pictorials to collect male stars; they will read Qiong Yao’s novels and Japanese comics; they will go to school basketball games or swimming pools. The most girls go swimming in the gym at 4 o’clock on Friday afternoon, because that is the time when Tao Jialin, the legendary first school grass, likes to visit. Pippi didn’t go too much. He felt that he was in poor shape, with slender limbs and completely underdeveloped breasts. When he entered the water, he felt like a noodle. Jia Lin complained to her that the girls’ swimming skills were too bad, which made him not swim smoothly, and he would go to save others when he got into the water. Pippi smiled. You can’t make a joke about your life if you flirt. Pippi has Pippi’s way. Isn’t she bad grades? Isn’t the math bad? So she always asks Jialin to teach her exercises. After teaching and teaching, the math is getting worse and worse. In order to have more time to get along with the handsome guy, she deliberately miscalculated the right one.

From stealing biscuits together at the age of three to discussing how many children she would have in the future, Pippi firmly believed that she would be Jialin’s woman sooner or later. Although she looks mediocre, from an ordinary family, and has poor grades, Jia Lin has never disliked her. She didn’t have it when she was a child, she didn’t have it in middle school, or university, and he won’t have it in the future.

Therefore, there is something she cannot tolerate.

That’s why someone actually said that she was the woman of Helan Jingting!

Germans can be brainwashed by Hitler, but Guan Pippi can’t be frozen by Helan Jingting.

Muyu Tea House.

Pippi kept looking at his watch. Helan Jingting was forty minutes late, no, forty-three minutes.

The reason why this tea house is named “Muyu” is because every guest will make a sound of muyu when they enter the door. In fact, the boss is just an ordinary person. He doesn’t believe in Buddhism or believers. The menu is full of flavors and everything. Every cup of tea bought and every dish eaten by the people inside will donate a cent to the Puhui Temple opposite, which is considered a blessing for everyone.

Isn’t the White Lady afraid of Fahai? The incense of Puhui Temple is so strong, the aura of Muyu Tea House must be very good.

So Pippi chose to see Helan Jingting here, supported by the Buddha, and felt very strong.

A phone call called him. The reason is also readily available, she wants her wallet and mobile phone.

Knowing that Helan Jingting doesn’t eat anything, but drinks a glass of ice water at most, Pippi generously said that she treats her.

The tea house mainly sells tea and cold drinks, as well as various pastries. There are only a dozen dishes, mainly light and famous for seafood. Business is not busy during lunch time, so few people just talk. Pippi chose a seat next to the window, opened the two-two realgar bottle cap, and placed it on the window sill. The antique Tong window is not 100% sealed, and the air-conditioning is squeezing in. The place where Helan sits quietly is just downwind.

Actually there are better seats upstairs. It is a pity that the stairs are very narrow and there are always people going up and down, which is not very convenient for blind people. What’s more, if Helan Jingting gets angry and wants to eat her in her original form, it will be easier to take the road from the first floor and escape.

There is a smell of sulfur in the realgar.

In the morning, Pippi took a bath in the bathroom at home, and a strange bug crawled out of the wall before the water boiled. The front body was like a centipede, and the back body was like a scorpion. She screamed in fright and ran out wrapped in a bath towel. At that time, Pippi’s mother was rinsing her mouth, holding her cup to take a look, and said, “Pippi quickly take the camera, we have discovered a new species today.” Before the voice was over, grandma went into the “bang” land and used slippers. Shoot, the bugs on the wall turned into flat surfaces. She wiped it with a straw paper and threw it into the toilet, and said to Pippi, “Okay, the bugs are gone, let’s continue washing. If you do this, you will be late.”

Since Pippi has become the mainstay of family income, the whole family has shown active cooperation with her work and life. In contrast, Daddy Pippi, who gets up at four o’clock every morning and sets up a street stall, is no one bothered. Pippi’s dad is unwilling to go downstream, and recently found a part-time job. Specially pass the toilet for people. It is said that the labor market is weak nowadays, and this kind of skilled job is not easy to find. If Pippi is a plumber in the factory, he has also been an advanced worker, and he doesn’t even have an application. Of course, the salary is quite good, but it is not stable, so I can live sloppily with the magazine selling in the morning. Except for her grandmother, Pippi’s mom has the lowest salary. She was pretty when she was young. She loved to buy cosmetics when she was old, and her salary was spent within a week. Grandma Pippi couldn’t understand her style of having no money and being petty bourgeoisie, but she also dared not speak.

It was the moment when the bug was snapped, grandma used too much force and shook a vial from the toilet rack, unbiased, and just dropped into the toilet.

“Oh my God, my Olay Eye Cream!” Mom Pippi called repeatedly. Angrily, I went to the kitchen to find a stick, but after a few times he didn’t get it, he sulked on the side.

Pippi knew that after decades of fighting secretly between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, the beacon would soon rise again.

“Mom, grandma, I’m going to take a bath.” Pippi quickly closed the door.

Sure enough, there was a whisper outside the door, followed by a rant, then a roar, and then a loud closing sound. Pippi knew that it was her mother who was leaving. When Pippi was ten years old, his mother once had an extramarital affair. The other party was a Taiwanese businessman, and the whole factory knew about it. In other words, Pippi’s mother used to be her mistress for a year, and she had a baby once. Later, Taiwanese businessmen fell in love with other women and stopped interacting with her. Going to make a big fuss, angered others, and ended up returning with a breeze. Pippi’s father is still advanced in thought, and he reconciles himself regardless of previous complaints. But Grandma Pipi has got a handle since then.

“That’s why Dehui wants you this torn shoe!”

In a word, Pippi’s mother is going to hang herself. Of course it is fake.

After waiting for a long time for Helan Jingting to show up, Pippi suddenly wondered if he could smell the realgar a hundred meters away and refused to come. Maybe she too underestimated the person’s dislike of realgar.

Thinking about whether to withdraw, Muyu made a sound, and Helan Jingting entered the door Shiran, put away the blind stick, and walked in the direction where Pippi was sitting accurately.

He wore a windbreaker of stiff material, pure black, with a silky luster silently shining. The hair is short, not combed at all, and the lanky face is sharp but indifferent. Like an FBI police detective, and like a movie star stalking the crowd, the fragrant wind all the way makes the women around him look back.

“Sorry, I’m late.” Helan Jingting took off his gloves.

“How do you know I am sitting here?”

Before Helan Jingting could answer, Pippi let out a weird “Oh”: “I remember, someone planted incense on me.”

The word “Zhongxiang” is specially accented.

“Have an affair lately?-‘Zhongxiang’ is not a word in your dictionary.” As if he didn’t hear the extravagance, Helan Jingting sat down, took off his glasses, and stared with a pair of dark, bottomless eyes. she was.

Pippi quickly took the cup to cover his face: “Put on the sunglasses, Helan Jingting.”

He smiled and put his sunglasses back on. He touched the table with his right hand, and found the menu: “You said you treat, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then I’m welcome.” He smiled lightly, “I’m hungry.”

“…”

Do you really want to order? Pippi was speechless. She only had two hundred dollars in her pocket. Seeing Helan Jingting’s posture, two hundred dollars would definitely not be able to pass, so she looked at him nervously.

The waiter came over and reported the menu. Helan Jingting asked coolly: “Tell me, what special dishes do you have here?”

“The abalone that just arrived today is very fresh. The braised abalone prepared by our famous chef is the most popular seafood.” At first glance, Helan Jingting’s style is like a wealthy customer, not to mention the female customers and the waiters. Do not hesitate to start with the most expensive dish.

“Will you have two copies?”

“Okay.” The waiter wrote on the slip of paper in his hand.

Pippi quickly stopped him: “How much is an abalone?”

“A 10% discount for two people, three hundred and twenty-five yuan.”

Pippi almost fainted. Before she could react, Helan Jingting ordered barley, winter melon, stir-fried mushrooms, and a serving of ice cream, naming Herites.

“We don’t have this brand in our store. We will send someone to buy it for seventy yuan a customer.” said the waiter.

“Also.” Helan Jingting smiled, “I need these for now.”

The man was about to leave, and he was stopped again: “Wait, please break the contents of this box, add ice water and honey, and put it in a cup. Thank you.”

He took out a plastic lunch box from his canvas bag. When Pippi took a look, there was half a box of colorful petals inside. It turns out that his food is here.

Settling down, Pippi said, “Don’t you not eat seafood?”

Helan Jingting said gently: “I don’t want to eat, I will order it for you.”

“Then you are so generous,” Pippi teased, “I only have two hundred dollars with me, you pay if you have more.”

“You must have a bank card in your wallet.”

Yes, he has finalized this meal. Pippi rolled his eyes.

After a while, the dishes were not ready yet, and the “flower juice” Helan Jingting asked for was delivered immediately. The cold drinker also ingeniously added a slice of lemon to it.

Helan Jingting inserted the straw and sucked it leisurely.

Seeing him sucking so fast and so refreshing, Pippi couldn’t help but looked at the window suspiciously. what happened? Does that bottle of realgar seem to have no effect? She couldn’t help saying: “You…can you eat?”

Helan Jingting drank the flower juice: “Why can’t I eat it?”

“Helan Jingting, there is realgar here.”

“I smell it.”

Pippi waited for him to continue, but he said nothing.

The abalone is here, so expensive, not eating it is a waste, so Pippi had to eat abalone.

“Does it taste good?” Helan Jingting asked.

“Very good, would you like to taste some?”

“no, thanks.”

One-man show. Pippi was embarrassed.

After eating the abalone, she wiped her mouth, squashed her face, and said in a deep voice, “Helan Jingting, I want to talk to you.”

“Talk about it? Talk about what?” He took a sip of ice water, pretending to be ignorant.

“Why do you plant incense on me? Am I related to you?”

“It is a courtesy to plant incense. It shows that I respect you very much.”

“What about this one?” Pippi pointed to the red bead on his wrist. “What is this? Will there be a bug in it?”

Helan Jingting snorted: “Cut, if I want to hear something, do I need a bug?”

“Then you give me this, what’s your intention?”

“A small gift means I like you very much and hope you like me.”

“OK, Helan Jingting, stop. I don’t want this bead. I’ll give it back to you now.” Seeing him walking around in circles, Pippi sneered and pulled the **** his wrist forcefully, thinking that it could be broken. Thin but very strong. After pulling several times in a row, it continued. She turned to look for the Swiss knife on the key.

He held her hand and said faintly: “Let me come.”

He untied the jade he was wearing from the back of his neck, with a sharp tooth on it. The hand touches the knot and gently picks it with the sharp teeth, and the strap is untied. Then he took out his wallet and stuffed the beads back.

From the beginning to the end, the expression on his face was very calm, very gentle, without any grievances.

Pippi was a little bit sceptical when the palm was slapped on the cotton.

“You asked me to come just to say this?” Helan Jingting glanced at the window lightly, a tone of wanting to leave.

“Can you remove the incense you planted on me?” Pippi was stubborn when the task was not completed.

“Do you mind?-the fragrance will make you very scented and save the perfume money. Think about how much a bottle of imported perfume costs.” He touched the joints of his fingers, temptingly, “I asked You promise, the incense I grow is of the best quality.”

“Of course I don’t mind. But, in your culture, is there any deeper meaning to planting incense?”

“No more.” Helan Jingting spread his hands.

“to be frank.”

“Why worry about it,” he said faintly, “as long as you have the scent of realgar, and the scent will be automatically released, I will never find you.”

Pippi tilted his head and glanced at him: “Why are you looking for me?”

Helan Jingting refused to answer.

“You don’t like realgar?”

“Do you like toilets?”

It was Pippi’s turn to remain silent. After a while she whispered: “Helan Jingting, if you are stained with realgar, will you show the original shape?”

“Do you want to try?”

Pippi nodded.

He reached out to the window sill, touched the bottle, and poured some powder on the little fingertip of his left hand.

Helan Jingting has very graceful hands. The fingers are slender, the complexion is fair, and the joints are very thin and hard. It looks delicate but powerful.

In almost three seconds, his fingertips were red and swollen.

Immediately afterwards, the red and swollen area began to turn purple, and many sweat drop-sized blisters appeared on it.

Pippi couldn’t help but backed half a foot back with a chair.

There is a little regret in Helan Jingting’s expression, and a little disappointment: “Did anyone tell you that realgar is poisonous?”

His fingertips have begun to turn black. It was so dark that Pippi felt that his fingers were being burned, and it seemed to be smoking.

Pippi’s hair straightened for a while, and her voice began to tremble: “But you…you don’t feel pain, do you? This…not your skin…”

Helan Jingting’s expression was still very calm, there was not a trace of muscle collapse on his face, and there was no pain or panic. But he said:

“It hurts, Pippi. It hurts.”

Then he stood up in silence, put on his windbreaker and gloves, and disappeared outside the door without saying goodbye.

The waiter walked over to clean up the remaining plates on his table.

Pippi’s voice was still trembling, she found her wallet and took out her bank card: “I pay the bill.”

“Miss, that gentleman has already paid the bill.”

“Paid? When did you pay?”

“He has been here once before you come here.”
