"You're talking about the duel between Zhang Song and Zuo Qiang?" Although Cao Jia didn't know that such a thing had happened in the school a year ago, she more or less knew about everything that had happened in the past when she was with Zhang Jun from Mu Xinyi, Chen Hewen, and Ye Xuan, not to mention Su Xiang, the big mouth person. It was impossible for her to know even if she didn't want to. Therefore, when Zhang Jun brought up this matter, Cao Jia naturally thought of the two main characters of this incident.
"Well, you've actually seen him before. Can you remember?" Zhang Jun smiled as he asked.
The moment Zhang Jun said that, Cao Jia immediately reacted. Her mouth was wide open in disbelief as she shouted, "It's him! He's Zuo Qiang?!" The one who fought with you that night on the Yangtze River, Zuo Qiang? "
Zhang Jun smiled and nodded. It seemed that this little fool had finally remembered.
"It was dark that night, so I couldn't see his face clearly. Looking at him now, it's actually not bad." Cao Jia continued to point and comment at the Zuo Qiang in front of her. Zhang Jun and Mu Xinyi, who were at the side, couldn't help but sneer when they heard Cao Jia's words. They were really defeated by this little fool.
The conversation between Zhang Jun and Cao Jiayi was actually only for a short period of time. From the beginning to the end, only a minute had passed. Seeing that Zuo Qiang had no intention to leave, Zhang Jun, who was sitting in the car, purposely stood there to block his path. Even though Zhang Jun had a good temper, he still felt slightly angry. Thus, he opened the car door, walked out, and met Zuo Qiang's gaze.
When Zuo Qiang saw that Zhang Jun had finally come out, he looked a little displeased. His gaze followed Zhang Jun all the while. Zuo Qiang looked into Zhang Jun's deep eyes and only gave a simple smile without saying anything.
"The reason." Zhang Jun said to Zuo Qiang, who was standing not far away from him.
"Reason?" Zuo Qiang extended his hand to rub his head and pondered deeply. After a while, he replied, "You already know why you still ask me for a reason?" The two of them acted like they were playing a rubber ball. Zuo Qiang then kicked the problem back to Zhang Jun.
"Hehe, looks like you are much more intelligent than I imagined. Not bad." Zhang Jun used his right hand to support his chin as he praised Zuo Qiang generously.
"Thank you. Actually, you surpassed my imagination." Zuo Qiang praised Zhang Jun from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, the two of them were like a close friend that had gone out of their way to meet each other.
After staring at each other for a long time, the two of them finally burst out laughing. The laughter stopped. Zhang Jun said seriously, "Did you really decide to do that?"
Zuo Qiang nodded his head heavily and asked jokingly, "Go through fire and water, you won't quit even if you die."
Zhang Jun nodded his head in admiration. He narrowed his eyes that were as deep as a tiger's and said with a smile, "My future is not here." As he spoke, he raised his head to look at the northern skies. My stage will be displayed in that sky. "
Zuo Qiang followed Zhang Jun's gaze and stared blankly at the distant northern sky. He suddenly let out an almost imperceptible smile, tilted his head and looked at Zhang Jun, "You mean North Anhui?"
Zhang Jun smiled without a word, but Zuo Qiang could understand the meaning behind Zhang Jun's eyes. Although they didn't interact much with each other, they were just like Mo Ni. There was no need for the two of them to talk much. As long as they looked at each other, they could understand what the other wanted to say and express their feelings.
Zuo Qiang slightly nodded and said, "I understand. I will clear all the obstacles for you before you go there."
Zhang Jun looked at Zuo Qiang with satisfaction and said, "I believe in you. In two months time, I want to see the results. Don't let me down." With that, Zhang Jun confidently turned around and walked to the car door in large strides. He then skillfully opened the door and got in.
Watching Zhang Jun's departing figure, Zuo Qiang secretly swore in his heart, "Don't worry, in two months time, the Northern Anhui region will tremble because of your arrival."
When Zhang Jun entered the car, Zuo Qiang nodded to Zhang Jun and gave way to Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun and the others drove the car past quickly, leaving only Zuo Qiang staring at the car as it gradually got further away, all the way until the four cars disappeared from his sight. Only then did Zuo Qiang retract his unwavering gaze and slowly turned around to leave. Although his back was a little lonely, it did not pale in comparison to his domineering aura.
After solving the Zuo Qiang's problem, there were no longer any problems in carrying the car. They drove leisurely to Hou Xinxuan's school. Zhou Xinmin called Hou Xinxuan. The crowd didn't wait long before Hou Xinxuan appeared with a beautiful canvas bag on her shoulder. She slowly walked towards Zhou Xinmin. The moment Hou Xinxuan arrived beside Zhou Xinmin, the two of them gave each other a big hug. Soon after, Zhou Xinmin took the canvas bag from Hou Xinxuan and opened the trunk, throwing the canvas bag inside. At this time, Hou Xinxuan had already sat in the front seat, and after giving a hand signal to everyone, Zhou Xinmin quickly returned to the driver's seat and slowly started the car.
Everyone slowly headed towards the driveway in a line, gradually disappearing into the bustling campus.
Time was invisible and untouchable, but the dead did not give up their days and nights. Listen to the sound of the leak, watch the second hand move, then you will feel the passing of time. Many times, we were driven by time, and the long, untraceable whips of time drove us from all directions, fuelling our inner anxiety and adding to our uneasiness. Let us be hurried and exhausted. In fact, we can enjoy the time as long as you walk in front of it or merge into its soul.
In the blink of an eye, a new year was about to arrive. People began to prepare for the New Year, and awaited the arrival of the New Year with great anticipation. The people who went out to work returned one after another to their hometown that they had left for a year. As they got off the car, they took a deep breath of their hometown and felt the same feeling they had in a long time. The streets and alleys were filled with a steady stream of people shuttling back and forth between the crowd.
In the distance, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old with a handsome face as sharp as a knife was walking down the street, silently gazing at this group of people who were rushing forward with no effort. Looking at the smile and happiness on their faces, he suddenly felt depressed in his heart. Letting out a long sigh, the youth no longer looked at the crowd, walking aimlessly with his head lowered.
An Qing City, within the ancient villa of the Bi Gui Yuan Garden's villa.
Seated at the head of the living room was an old man with a crane child's face. Although he was already over sixty years old, his appearance gave off the impression of a middle-aged man. Sitting next to her was an old woman, who would appear old at her best age, and although this old woman looked dignified, time had inscribed on her face the youth of the past, as if to borrow from those who could not prevent it, and your burning years were gone. At this moment, the beautiful young girl was nestling beside the old woman. Her smile was captivating. If Zhang Jun was here, he would have definitely recognized that it was Cao Jia.
The first person to break the silence was the old man sitting at the head seat. He looked benevolently at the young girl beside the old woman and asked lovingly, "Little girl, have you prepared everything?"
Cao Jia nodded her head. Her beautiful face did not have the same color as before. There was a trace of disappointment and reluctance on it. Only after a while did she organize her thoughts and slowly said, "Grandfather, Grandmother, can I not go home to celebrate the new year? I want to stay here and celebrate the new year with you two elders."
The old woman lovingly caressed Cao Jia's silky black hair again and again. She said gently, "At this time of the year, you are always happy to leave. Why are you suddenly reluctant to leave this year?" You don't want your parents? "
Cao Jia cunningly said, "I've grown up too, so I'm more sensible now. I want to keep you two company. Besides, what's the use of thinking about Mom and Dad? They won't even go to school to see me."
When the old man sitting in the hall saw them talking, he decided to just sit there without saying a word, patiently but happily listening to their conversation.
The old woman laughed. "That's right, a girl should not be left behind. It's not that you don't want to part with me and your grandfather, but it's just that there's someone else. Is it that young man who sent you back last time?"
As expected, Cao Jia's little thoughts were immediately revealed by her grandma. Seeing her grandpa's brilliant smile, even her face, which was as thick as a city wall, couldn't help but be embarrassed by the two elders. Cao Jia lowered her head and quibbled, "How can that be? You only know how to say nonsense. Since you don't believe me, then I will have to go home. Coincidentally, I still have something to ask Mom and Dad."
The old woman quipped in curiosity, "Oh? I never thought that our little girl would have a story of her own. Do you want to ask your parents to accept that little boyfriend of yours? "
Cao Jia was embarrassed by her grandmother's coquettish words and retorted, "Don't be such an immoral old man. I have business with my parents." Cao Jia spoke with a serious tone and eyes that were staring at the old lady.
"Oh? What's that? actually managed to attract the attention of our little princess? " The old man sitting at the head of the hall asked in a timely manner.
Cao Jia carefully recalled the scenes that flashed through her mind. The blurry image of a person's face became clear and was deeply imprinted in her mind. After organizing her words, she breathed out, "Speaking of which, it's quite strange. I met a friend at school, and I'm sure I've never met him before. However, I feel very familiar with him, as if we've known each other for years, but I really don't know him. I haven't even seen his true face until now."
Who exactly was Zhang Song? Why did he attract Cao Jia's attention? He had never met Cao Jia, but why did Cao Jia have a sense of familiarity with him? Was there something between them? If they were to meet, what kind of story would he and Cao Jia have?
