I stood there, wondering how someone could be sitting behind the trash can. Suddenly, someone stood up and rubbed his head that was in pain. The space between his eyebrows was creased, and he wanted to curse, but his words were unclear. It took me a lot of effort to understand a few words.
The person who stood up was a boy. He was very tall, and it was only when I raised my head that I was able to see him clearly. His cheeks were red, and his body was swaying.
I was surprised, but the moment he came over, he subconsciously retreated.
Behind him was a speeding car. My long hair flew with it, and I felt a chill down my spine.
My heart rate quickened in his arms, and after a moment of absent-mindedness, I quickly broke free and trotted up the steps behind him. There shouldn't be any more danger.
"Hey, I saved you." He stood at the foot of the steps so he wouldn't look much taller than me. His hair was a mess, and he turned to look at me and smiled.
His smile looked really good, with row after row of gleaming white teeth. This smile was different from Shen Xiuyuan's, it was even clearer and brighter, like sunflowers that were raised in a greenhouse, each petal looked like they were bathed in sunlight.
I stared at his smile for a long time.
Until he came up to me, just a little closer, and stood at the foot of the steps, only a hair taller than I was.
He pointed to my badge. "You're from the first, third class." Then he rubbed his eyes for a moment and said my name in earnest.
"Lu … Wei … An …"
His voice was clear and melodious, as if every word that he recited had emotions unique to him.
"This name sounds really nice." He laughed again, "Have you ever heard of a song called Xiao Wei?"
I shook my head.
"That song was about a rural woman entering the city to find a man. You are also called Xiao Wei, you can listen to it."
I frowned, indicating that I didn't want to. What kind of rural woman was looking for a man? I'm not that bumpkin Xiao Wei!
He didn't mind, though. The Lama took a badge from his pocket and pressed it into my hand.
"My name is Peng Haobai, I'm from the first, second class, and I'm from next door."
The badge already had the warmth of his body and was warm in my hand.
Peng Haobai, I muttered this name in my heart. His fiery personality was also what remained in my heart along with this name. Just like this, before I could react, I was pulled along by him again, heading in the opposite direction from the school.
I was pulled away from him, my body swaying with him.
"I'm going back to school. I still have to go to school tomorrow. It's the new semester, so I don't want to be scolded by the teachers."
"I'll send you back." Peng Haobai laughed, "I'll drive you back so fast, my car is parked right in front."
"No, no, no. You're drunk. This is against the law!"
I reminded him solemnly, and didn't shut up until I was standing in front of him in a row of bicycles.
I think too much.
Fortunately, it was night and there were almost no people on the road. His bicycle was a cool mountain bike, the kind of fast train that rarely installed the back seat. It was obvious that he had installed this seat himself.
"Why did you put your car in the backseat? It looks so weird."
Peng Haobai stepped on the pedal, and started to sway left and right along the main road. From the start till the end, the car did not move at all, he faced the wind, and his voice was filled with the wind, making sounds.
"Xiao Wei, you don't understand, right? My backseat is for picking up girls!"
It turned out to be a popinjay. I felt disdain in my heart, but I couldn't help but ask, "How many of them have you tried?"
"You're the first! "Hahahahaha."
"Peng Haobai, are you a fool?"
"Xiao Wei, I am the man in your dreams that you have been searching for after coming all the way from the countryside."
This guy had no business in the village before he started talking. He had no logic at all. The joke caught me off guard. I was stunned and when I reacted, I could not help but viciously pinch the flesh on his waist, causing him to cry out in pain.
Yet, he was still as improper as before.
"Xiao Wei, I know you hate me, but I have no choice but to leave you and enter the city. What else can you do with your child?
"Peng Haobai, you sure are good at acting!" I scolded him, frowning, but raising my lips.
Peng Haobai, every time this name was mentioned, the corners of his mouth would raise upwards. He had the same name as her, so whenever she mentioned it, she wanted to laugh.
It was very fun.
