Whispering To You - Chapter 28
Before Cheng Yin’s eighteenth birthday, a continuous autumn rain disturbed people.
And the rain has a tendency to get heavier and heavier. By Tuesday, it has reached the level of closing the door.
After class, everyone is confined in the classroom, and few people go out.
Cheng Yin brought a red rope from home to school, put the two ends together to tie a knot, and played with Xie Ying.
There are only a few styles of the meeting between the two, and after flipping it over and over several times, Nie Nan next to it can see it.
“What are you two doing playing this? What’s the point?”
“Don’t worry about it.” It’s almost time for class, Xie Ying turned back to look for the book with an expression of “I’m happy, you know shit”, “What else do you know besides playing basketball.”
The rope fell into Cheng Yin’s hands, she tilted her head and looked at the rain outside the window, sighing repeatedly.
Zhang Yuehai didn’t give any lectures. He talked about the latest current affairs news on the podium, which he predicted would be the subject of the college entrance examination next year.
Cheng Yin didn’t listen very much, looked back at the podium.
She sat upright, but quietly stretched the rope around her hands, leaned over and bumped Chen Ran with her shoulder.
Chen Ran glanced at her and ignored her.
Cheng Yin bumped him lightly again, but she looked straight ahead on the surface, looking extremely serious.
Chen Ran whispered: “I won’t.”
“You watched for so long today, I don’t believe you won’t.”
Chen Ran choked.
Cheng Yin actually knew he was watching.
But he was not looking at the rope.
He was looking at Cheng Yin’s fingers.
Although Cheng Yin is not tall, her limbs are slender, and her fingers are no exception.
Some people say that the hand is the second face of a woman, Cheng Yin’s second face is not inferior at all.
“No.” Chen Ran turned his face away and covered Cheng Yin’s hand with the book, “Don’t come, I don’t do these naughty things.”
The rain didn’t stop until after school in the evening.
Everyone thought it was going to clear up, but it was up again the next morning.
The forecast is for heavy rain across the southeast, possibly into next week.
Cheng Yin and Xie Ying turned more and more frequently after class, and Chen Ran saw two little girls flipping their fingers in front of him almost as soon as he opened his eyes.
Cheng Yin is right, he has to watch it.
But he would never do this with her.
This is the principle and dignity of a man.
Then the whole physics class, Cheng Yin was playing with the flower rope beside him.
Chen Ran simply turned sideways, propped his head up, and stared at her fingers openly.
“What’s so fun about this thing?”
“Alas.” Cheng Yin is already very skilled, she can listen to the teacher’s lecture while turning the flower rope, “Have you never heard of it? Rainy days become sunny days.”
Chen Ran: “…”
He sighed for the physics teacher on the podium.
Cheng Yin poked Chen Ran’s arm again, then put the flower rope on her finger, and motioned him to play with her with her eyes.
Chen Ran looked away indifferently.
Cheng Yin lost interest all of a sudden, and hung his head like a frosted eggplant.
“When will the rain last?”
“It will always stop when it’s time to stop.” Chen Ran seemed to understand the reason for what she did, turned her head and asked, “Don’t you want a rainy day on your birthday?”
“No.” Cheng Yin whispered, “My parents are from the Forestry Bureau. They are in the mountains recently, and the rain is very dangerous. In case of landslides and mudslides, what will they do? …”
Chen Ran’s eyes loosened.
Cheng Yin held her face and looked at the rain outside the window, “And I can’t do anything.”
A hand reached out and took the rope from her hand.
“Only play with you once.”
Cheng Yin immediately smiled.
Chen Ran really saw it, and didn’t need Cheng Yin to teach.
When Cheng Yin flipped the rope, his little finger accidentally touched Chen Ran’s hand.
She glanced at Chen Ran quietly and saw that his expression had not changed, so she thought carefully and touched his palm inadvertently.
Dry and warm with a thin cocoon.
He still doesn’t seem to notice.
Cheng Yin wiped his little finger lightly again, bowed her head and pursed her lips and smiled.
Chen Ran said that he only played with her once, but in fact he was haunted by her many times.
The rain finally stopped at noon on Friday.
But Cheng Yin was not happy.
She was going to take her classmates to dinner after school in the afternoon, but Chen Ran decided not to go.
Come back from lunch, Cheng Yin lost his face all the way.
“Hey, I have a question for you.”
Xie Ying hid the gift in a panic, and then pretended to say casually: “You ask.”
“I saw it all, don’t hide it.” Cheng Yin sat on the seat, not thinking about the gift, and glanced at Chen Ran’s empty seat, “You say, if a boy is right You are interesting, will it be your birthday?”
“What can I do if I do nothing every day.”
This sentence is Cheng Yin complaining, Xie Ying sees that she is not happy, and wants to say something, Nie Nan suddenly came over from behind and called her.
“There is someone at the door.”
Cheng Yin looked over, Zhao Wei was standing awkwardly outside the back door.
“What’s the matter?” Cheng Yin walked over and asked.
“Well, I just wanted to tell you, did you prepare your own birthday cake today?”
Zhao Weilin said nervously.
“Birthday cake…”
Cheng Yin patted his head, “Oh, I forgot to order it!”
The few people she invited didn’t say they wanted to prepare a cake for her, so when she went out today, she said to remind Cheng Sheng to help her order one, but she forgot when she was going to be late .
“It’s fine if you don’t order it! It’s fine if you don’t order it!” Zhao Weilin spoke quickly and said with a smile, “I’ll prepare it for you, I don’t know what gift to give you.”
Cheng Yin nodded, Zhao Weilin touched the back of his head and left.
Back to the classroom, Xie Ying continued the previous topic.
“I think there might be something wrong, but did he prepare a present for you?”
Speaking of this, Cheng Yin was even more uncomfortable.
Chen Ran didn’t come to school today, let alone any gifts.
She shook her head.
These Xie Yings don’t know how to patch, she sat down and read in silence.
Cheng Yin was extremely aggrieved, even if she didn’t come for her birthday, she didn’t even have a gift.
I received a “Happy Birthday” from him this morning, but there was nothing else.
She was lying on the table, not even in the mood to take a nap.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
She picked it up and it was an unfamiliar number.
“Hello, is this Ms. Cheng Yin? I have your takeaway. Please come to the school gate to get it.”
Cheng Yin was stunned, she was sure she didn’t buy anything, but it was okay for her lunch break anyway, so she ran to the school gate.
A delivery guy took out a box of birthday cakes from the fresh-keeping box.
After handing it over to Cheng Yin, the delivery boy hurried to the next house, leaving Cheng Yin alone.
The delivery guy was too busy and didn’t explain anything, and the delivery list only had Cheng Yin’s name and phone number, so there was no way to know who delivered it.
Fifteen inches, Cheng Yin could barely hold her hands.
She glanced through the clear plastic on the box, a beautiful cake with a delicate flamingo on top and a few chocolates in the shape of pink notes.
But the more this happens, the more cautious Cheng Yin is.
After all, it is the entrance, she dare not eat it casually. And the cake was so big that it would be too conspicuous to get it in the classroom, so she thought about it and put the cake in the security room.
The security uncle is a very good person and is willing to help Cheng Yin save it, but just reminded her that she must come to pick it up after school in the afternoon.
Cheng Yin said yes, turned around and went back to the classroom.
The last class in the afternoon was English.
Cheng Yin, Xie Ying and Nie Nan packed their schoolbags and went to a place to eat together.
Originally wanted to find Zhao Welin, but he said he wanted to go home first, so Cheng Yin and the others went to eat first, and before the dishes were ready, Zhao Welin came.
He brought a cake.
Everyone looked at him, he was a little embarrassed and gave the cake to Cheng Yin.
“I didn’t know what to give, so I prepared a cake for you.”
At this moment, Cheng Yin remembered that she had put a cake in the security room and forgot to take it.
Forget it, anyway, there is a cake from Zhao Weilin.
And Cheng Yin is a person who pays more attention to the appearance of the cake than the taste, she opened it immediately and took a look, it is more beautiful than the cake she received today!
Although it is a little small, they are enough to eat.
“Beautiful! Thank you!”
Zhao Weilin said embarrassedly, “No thanks, no thanks.”
“Oh, but I think this is expensive.” Cheng Yin added, “Don’t spend so much money next time.”
Next time…
Zhao Weilin’s heart shook.
He hasn’t had any friends since junior high school, let alone attended other people’s birthday parties.
“Thank you anyway.” Cheng Yin said again, “It’s so beautiful, where did you buy it?”
“I, I…” Zhao Weilin buried his head low, “I made it myself.”
“Wow!”
His words surprised everyone present, especially a few girls who never thought that Zhao Weilin, who looked like a nerd, would still make cakes.
For a while, Zhao Weilin became the focus of the topic, and they also pestered Zhao Welin that they would learn to make cakes with him after the college entrance examination.
Zhao Weilin responded.
At this time, Zhang Sky came, and everyone became cautious when they saw strangers.
Fortunately, Zhang Skye is a very familiar person, and soon he got along with Cheng Yin’s classmates.
After dinner, Xie Ying first proposed to cut the cake, but Cheng Yin did not agree.
“Let’s sing later, let’s eat cake at ktv!”
That’s fine, anyway, they don’t drink alcohol when they go to ktv, and they have more atmosphere when they eat cake.
So saying, a group of people walked towards KTV.
Today’s dinner consumed a lot of wine, especially Zheng Wenxing, who was taken by everyone.
The only one who didn’t drink was Chen Ran.
Zheng Wenxing was drunk because today is his retirement day. He has won awards over the years, and now he is considered to be retiring from the peak. Last week, he was invited to dinner by friends from all walks of life. It was not until today that I set aside time to gather myself, these little ones who have been playing since childhood.
Because today is his birthday.
And Chen Ran was not drunk because Zheng Wenxing brought a good news today.
Chen Ran is about to be recalled, if nothing else, it will be before the Spring Festival.
Everyone is happy for him, and naturally they won’t drink alcohol.
So when it came to ktv, Chen Ran was the most sober one.
He first sent Zheng Wenxing, who was walking floating, to the box.
For him, Zheng Wenxing is indeed the most important friend in life. Both a brother and a teacher.
Zheng Wenxing was placed, and Chen Ran went downstairs to help.
A large group of men came here today. If they drank too much, they would go wild. If no one watched, they might get out of the taxi and lie on the ground.
After escalating the last friend to the elevator, Chen Ran’s body was already stained with an unpleasant smell of alcohol.
The air in the elevator was not circulating, and he himself despised himself.
As soon as the elevator door opened, he suddenly saw several familiar figures.
Cheng Yin and the others were swiping cards at the front desk, and then a waiter led them to the box.
Chen Ran supported his friend and walked to the box.
It was still early and there were not many people in the aisle. He clearly watched Cheng Yin jumping ahead, followed by several boys, one of whom was carrying a birthday cake .
It wasn’t the one he sent.
Then they turned into a box.
When Chen Ran supported his friend through the box of Chengyin, he made a note of the number.
It’s also a luxury bag.
Children, what ktv is coming?
Entering the box, Chen Ran’s first thing was to send a message to Cheng Yin.
“What ktv is coming at night, do you know it’s not safe here?”
After a few minutes, no reply.
Chen Ran called her again, but no one answered.
Looks like I’m having fun.
Forget it.
Chen Ran sat in the corner, watching his friends sing and drink.
The hand hanging beside his leg felt a rope, he picked it up and saw that it was a red rope.
If Chen Ran remembers correctly, it should be the red rope that Zheng Wenxing has been hanging around his neck. His mother went to the temple to ask for safety.
But Zheng Wenxing is so drunk now, if you return it to him, it is estimated that he will lose it soon.
Chen Ran played with the rope on the phone.
The lights in ktv were dim, and a friend fell down with a wine glass and squeezed beside Chen Ran.
“Fuck!” The friend suddenly said, “Chen Ran, what are you doing? How the **** are you so motherly!”
Chen Ran was stunned and looked down.
Fuck.
He was actually using that red rope to turn flowers.
“Fucking hahahahaha, Chen Ran, I can’t think of it! You are so girly! Playing with the **** rope, why don’t you embroider cross-stitch!”
The laughter of friends attracts others to laugh with them.
Chen Ran was annoyed and speechless, suddenly got up and said, “You guys play first, I’ll find a friend and come back later.”
