Chapter 448 Return to Pucheng

In a car heading north, the final destination was Pucheng.

Ding Ge and I were sitting in the back seat. Maybe it was a rainy day. There weren't many people in the car. Although the rain had stopped, the humidity in the air hadn't dissipated, and the gloomy color still shrouded the sky.

Maybe yesterday was too tiring. Ding Ge closed her eyes and rested her head on my shoulder as if she had fallen asleep.

I didn't disturb her, but as the car was moving, I couldn't help but think of a lot of things.

Back in Pucheng, Ding Ge and I were just friends. I went after her again. That's what we agreed on.

I've already thought about it. One day, I'll confess to Ding Ge in front of my friends and make Ding Ge my girlfriend.

After a while, dinger woke up. She glanced at me, her cheeks flushing. Then she turned away and looked out the window.

I smiled and said softly, "Sleep a little longer. I'll call you when we get to Pucheng."

"I can't sleep." Ding ge said with a pout.

"Oh."

Ding Ge looked out again and asked, "Where are we?"

I looked out the window at the green, just as a forest was passing by, and on both sides was a vast green field. I shook my head and replied, "I don't know, but I think I'll be in Pucheng in an hour."

"Oh."

At this moment, Ding Ge's expression suddenly became serious again. She said, "When I get back to Pucheng, I want to go home first. My mobile id card and bank card are all at home. I have to take them out."

I felt an inexplicable depression in my heart. I said, "I'll go with you."

"No, I won't stay long. I'll be out soon."

Once bitten by a snake for ten years, I inevitably said worriedly, "Where is your new home? Tell me the exact address first."

"Don't worry!" Dinger smiled at me and said, "This time, I won't argue with them. They are still my parents. I will still visit them from time to time. But I won't let them trap me again, I promise!"

It's just that I'm still uncertain about Ding Ge's promise. It's not that I don't trust Ding Ge, it's that I don't trust her parents. I'm really scared. I'm afraid that things will happen again.

There are some experiences that you never want to go through again.

I sighed and asked again, "Ding Ge, what are your plans to return to Pucheng?"

"I don't know yet. Anyway, I won't be staying at home anymore. I'll squeeze in with Lin Ya for the time being and then we'll talk about it. I don't have a job, but I don't want to go to work for the time being. Just take a rest." Ding Ge looked a little tired.

I nodded. It was good for her to rest. She was too tired a while ago. Her heart was tired. She still needed to relax.

An hour later, the car stopped at the west station of Pucheng bus station. Ding Ge and I got off the car and came to Pucheng. The familiarity brought a lot of warmth.

Ding Ge and I went to the bathroom separately. When we came out, I stood not far from the door and waited for her.

Coming to Pucheng meant that Ding Ge and I started our friendship journey and my pursuit of her.

I think it's good to do this again, but I'm sure it won't be the same as before. I'm looking forward to it.

Will ding ge make things difficult for me? What would she do to me?

I remember that she didn't have any feelings for me at the beginning, and it seemed difficult to chase her. This time, will it be difficult, or will it be easy?

Just as I was daydreaming, a voice came from behind me, "Hi, hello, friend."

I couldn't help but smile. How could I not hear Ding Ge's sweet voice? She called me' friend', obviously telling me that our agreement had begun.

I looked at Ding Ge, who was standing right in front of me. She was graceful, pure and moving. Her delicate body was full of movement, and her eyes shone with a clear light.

I smiled and replied, "Hello."

Dinger walked towards me and said calmly, "Then I'll go home first."

"Will you go to the Dinger house later?" I couldn't help but ask.

Ding ge nodded.

I was still a little worried, but she was adamant. She refused to let me go with her, so I had to promise her.

Just like that, in front of the station, Ding Ge and I separated. The two of them took two taxis and drove in different directions.

Looking at the familiar road, I couldn't help but think that now, Ding Ge and I are back to the same place. After a walk around Pucheng, we still haven't set foot on this land as lovers.

And this time, what was the road ahead? How far is it from the day I get back together with Ding Ge?

...

I took a taxi back to the neighborhood, put my luggage at home, and then walked back to the hotel.

Hu Zi and Old Gao both knew that I was coming back today. When I got back to the restaurant, they also said why I didn't make a phone call so they could pick me up. They asked me about Ding Ge again. I said she would be back soon.

The two of them said they would welcome us tonight and celebrate.

I think Hu Zi and Old Gao must have thought that we were already together. I smiled bitterly and told Hu Zi and Old Gao about it briefly.

The two of them were optimistic. Old Gao said, "Hey, that's not a matter. Sooner or later, we will be together. Girls, if you want to be coaxed, then coax."

Hu Zi also said, "That's it. It doesn't matter. This is your game. You two can play it. We outsiders can just wait for the result."

I smiled and asked about the restaurant.

The situation is nothing, of course, nothing is actually the best situation.

Old Gao asked me to tell Ding Ge about the Xingyun hotel tonight.

Then, I came to the elegant breeze cake shop.

As I walked in front of the door, the smell of roasted milk wafted in and my mood improved a lot. I stood at the door and saw Lin Ya.

At this moment, Lin Ya was standing in front of the counter, seriously wiping the glass on the counter. Her back was facing me, and before I could see her, I secretly smiled, gently came behind Lin Ya, and then quickly patted Lin Ya on the shoulder.

Lin Ya was startled and turned around. When he saw me, he punched me in the chest and shouted, "You scared me to death!"

Lin Ya had a rag in one hand and an apron on her. Her hair was a little messy because of her big movements.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Have you become so timid?" I joked.

As I spoke, I walked in and saw Lin Feng and Tang Manya behind me, laughing and talking to them.

Then I went to the front, and Lin Ya asked me, "Where's Ding Ge?"

"Let's go home first and get her things." When I mentioned Ding Ge, I was worried. I looked at Lin Ya and asked, "Ding Ge said to squeeze you first. Did she tell you?"

"Why don't you squeeze me?" Lin Ya didn't say he knew or not.

"Your bed is big." I joked.

Lin Ya didn't say anything more. I know that Ding Ge used my phone to call Lin Ya. She should know everything about us.

I said to her again, "At night, Xing Yun!"

Lin Ya nodded, indicating understanding.

I didn't stay in the cake shop much either, so I went back to the restaurant and started working. After a few days of rest, I didn't get used to it after I came back. I had to immerse myself in it, trying to get back to the rhythm of the past.

At this time, my heart was at ease. Ding Ge had already returned and moved to lin ya's house with her luggage.

In the end, we didn't eat at the restaurant, but packed our bags and brought them home. This was Ding Ge's request. There were only a few of us, no one else, just me, Hu Zi, Old Gao, Lin Ya and Ding Ge, and the five of us.

In the past, we used to get together a lot. Speaking of it, it seems that we haven't been together alone for a long time.

There was actually Li Xiaowei.

Forget it, forget about her.

We agreed to let Old Gao stay and squeeze in with us, so after drinking, we could lie down and sleep. We didn't care. We drank freely, and we haven't had such a good time in a long time. Especially now, our mood is different. Although Ding Ge and I are still friends, it's really different now!

The cold beer from the freezer in the restaurant was very cold in the mouth. It was an august day. The cold wine, together with the food from the restaurant, and a few old friends, there were not many such pleasant things in the world.

Lin Ya and Ding Ge also drank beer. Lin Ya could drink as much as we did. Ding Ge drank at room temperature.

Five people, five cups, and I don't know how many days later, they met again.

With the crisp sound, some unspeakable emotions slowly rose in my heart.

The five of us were able to sit alone again, something that was really unthinkable in the past, as if it could only be realized in a dream.

The cold beer tasted bitter, but everyone had a heartfelt smile on their faces. It's just that when I think of the stories that happened to us, my heart still hurts a little, some are bitter and bitter, some are sad and sigh, too many are sad and happy.

For more than two years, Pucheng seemed to be the same Pucheng, but every day, new storefronts were changed, countless old houses were demolished, countless tall buildings were erected, and countless facades were decorated to cover the traces of the past.

For more than two years, our lives have experienced many changes. Ding Ge and I have a lot of love twists and turns. Lin Ya, alone, is still working hard in his career. Old Gao, whose family is down and out, has experienced the sorrow of love and lived a plain life. Hu Zi, who was betrayed, has reaped love again.

I always feel that too many things have happened in the past two years. The plan will never catch up with the changes, and then we are pushed forward by those annoying things.

Tired? Very tired!

So now I really want a simple life, a slow life.

However, it's only bitter before it's sweet. I understand this very well.

The atmosphere on the table was particularly intense. Looking at the people closest to me, I was intoxicated with joy. The laughter and familiar voices surrounded me, making me feel happy and bitter.

Maybe it's not young anymore. We can't help but think of the past. We're talking about the past.

Old Gao leaned back comfortably and said, "Do you remember when we were driving to the barbecue? Do you remember?"

Old Gao pointed at us one by one, and we all smiled. No one could forget.

Hu Zi said, "How can I not remember, my grass, such a heavy rain, from childhood to adulthood, we have experienced such a big formation in Pucheng several times, the sky is dark, it is really like the end of the world. That guy has seen heavy rain, and he has seen strong winds, but I have never seen such a crazy storm, great strength!"

Lin Ya glared and said, "What else do you think? The day I was almost scared to death, my legs were shaking in the car, you know? The car swayed, and I wasn't afraid that it would tilt, you know? I'm especially afraid of it being blown away."

"How can it be so exaggerated? What level of wind is that? It's too serious!" Hu Zi smiled.

"How can it be so exaggerated?!" Ding Ge opened his mouth wide, put one hand on his chest and said, "My legs are weak! To be honest, we were really lucky that night. There was a bang outside. Nothing broke the car window. We were so lucky. You forgot the next day on the road, there were hardly any trees on the side of the road that were not crooked. That scene was a complete mess. It was horrible!"

"That's right. During that time, every household actually sold trees, and they were very cheap. But there was no way. If we didn't sell them, we couldn't. All the trees fell down."

"Our neighbor, a tree in the vegetable garden, next to a small river, that tree grows by the river. It's too thick, that tree, it has to be..." Lin Ya stretched out her arms, as if to show how thick the tree is. Then she helplessly lowered her hand and pointed at us, "It's just a circle around our position now. It's almost that thick."

"Can it be shaved crookedly?"

"Well, the place is a little off. There are no houses to block the wind. The tree is by the river again. The root is not very stable, so it was blown sideways. There's also a utility pole. I remember that one of the utility poles in town was crooked, but it didn't fall down."

"Well, I remember a streetlight that seemed to have been scraped down."

"There are also many houses with bricks and tiles, glass, and some color board houses whose roofs have been ripped off."

"You said there was something floating in the air that night. Indeed, I didn't think much of it at the time, but now I think about it, it's really scary."

"Who said that I didn't feel anything at that time? I was so scared that my heart almost jumped out of my body with goosebumps."

Although it was not such a beautiful memory, everyone's emotions were very high at this moment, and in everyone's words, the picture in my mind became clearer, the dark sky, the dusty streets, the cold buildings, the jumping bonfire...

After that, Old Gao took a big gulp of wine and said with some emotion, "I was still young in the past. I guess I can't do that now."

"Indeed, that's right. I guess now we have to crawl back at the speed of a snail, don't you think?"

We all nodded in agreement. In fact, when we started the bonfire in the newly built building, the rain outside was much weaker than when it was the fiercest. We could actually drive back slowly, but we didn't do that.

Time passed, and we were no longer young, and the things we did before might not be done now. We did not have the strength to struggle, nor the crazy energy.

In time, we are so unstoppable change, quietly growing up...
