Some clothes were brought to school when the semester started, so there weren't many clothes left at home. Adhering to the principle of only taking useful things, the things I had to take with me for this move were much less than expected, so little that when I took them out, others would have no idea that I was moving.
After most of the things were packed up, Han Zhou cleaned the house carefully, as a proper farewell to the house where he had lived for eighteen years.
The sun was shining brightly, and a few yellowed autumn leaves were hanging on the windowsill, swaying gently in the wind. Some of them had already dried up, and would break into pieces if pinched, and scatter in all directions.
After sweeping away the leaves, Han Zhou looked out the window, and he couldn't help feeling sad. Humans are really complicated creatures. Even though there was nothing he was attached to in this old house, when the moment came to leave, he still felt reluctant.
Perhaps what I am reluctant to part with is just the time that has passed here.
Han Zhou took a long breath and stretched by the window. Suddenly, he heard Lin Anyu chuckle and say, "Han Zhou, is this your elementary school yearbook?"
He turned his head and saw Lin Anyu had found a booklet with a plain cover from somewhere and was flipping through it with great interest. "Hahaha, 'I will definitely marry you when we meet again', interesting. Which little girl wrote this to you?"
The text on the classmate record was quite childish, similar to the composition written by his stupid sister, so he concluded that it was Han Zhou's classmate record from elementary school.
Gu Zheng, who was wiping the table, moved her ears and slowed down her hand movements. She turned her back to the two people and eavesdropped quietly.
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "How could I remember? It's been so long."
He did not have a photographic memory when he was a child, and could not remember things from too far away, but he remembered things from his previous life very clearly, and even now he can occasionally recall some interesting things.
"It's a pity that you still have this kind of thing." Lin Anyu sighed and flipped through it casually for a while, with a nostalgic look on his face, "I can't find those yearbooks of mine anymore."
If it was still there, he would definitely find words similar to "I will definitely marry you if we meet again" on it... he thought self-indulgently.
As if he suddenly thought of something, Lin Anyu winked and said, "By the way, Han Zhou, I remember you seemed to transfer schools frequently in elementary school. Tsk tsk tsk, if you hadn't transferred schools, wouldn't this girl have become your childhood sweetheart?"
"You also said that you didn't transfer to another school." Han Zhou came over and took the yearbook from him, saying unhappily, "There aren't so many ifs in this world."
He didn't pay attention to Lin Anyu's words and was about to open it to take a look, but when he turned around, he saw a scene that frightened him.
I saw Gu Zheng checking the drawers in the room one by one, as if he was afraid of missing something. This was certainly not something wrong. The real reason for his nervousness was that the drawer the other party was about to check contained the medical record that declared that he had a terminal illness!
not good……
Han Zhou secretly felt that something was wrong. Medical records were something that he could not allow people he knew to see under any circumstances. Causing everyone to worry was secondary. The important thing was that it was difficult for him to explain why he had recovered.
The reason why he showed his medical records to the group of people who came to collect debts was because he knew that he would not have much interaction with these people in the future and there was almost no possibility of meeting them again, so he didn't need to worry about how to explain that he was still alive and well.
And even if an explanation is really needed, it doesn't matter. You can just get away with it by saying that the medical record is forged. However, this kind of explanation may be used to fool strangers, but it cannot be hidden from people you are familiar with.
Han Zhou went to school when he was seriously ill. His condition was very bad during that period. Any of his high school classmates who were not blind could see it, not to mention Lin Anyu and Guzheng, who were close to him.
The two men only knew that he had been ill for a period of time and then recovered, but they were not clear about the specific symptoms and did not ask about it afterwards. However, as long as they saw the medical record, they would be able to quickly associate it with what happened at that time, and it would be difficult to explain it later.
Thinking of this, Han Zhou rushed over and pressed the drawer.
Gu Zheng actually just wanted to see if there was anything in the drawer that she needed to take away. When she saw a dark shadow rushing over, she was startled and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
Han Zhou held the drawer tightly and said sternly, "This drawer cannot be opened."
"why?"
"Well, because the things in this drawer are not convenient for you to see..."
"Why can't you show it to me?"
Gu Zheng looked suspicious. It would have been fine if Han Zhou hadn't said anything, but once he started talking, she became concerned and looked like she was determined to get to the bottom of things.
Han Zhou hesitated for a moment: "The things in here are personal privacy, and also my secret..."
"Secret?" Gu Zheng puffed up her cheeks slightly, "What secret? Even I can't tell it?"
She was a little unhappy, as it was clear that she had no secrets from this guy.
However, although she was dissatisfied, she did not use brute force to open the drawer. Instead, she stared at Han Zhou, as if she was waiting for him to give an explanation.
"Well..."
While Han Zhou was thinking about what kind of reason he should come up with, he looked at Lin Anyu for help.
The latter understood what he meant and immediately coughed twice, saying, "Ahem, that... Guzheng, you should also know that boys always have some hidden things that are difficult to talk about..."
Han Zhou's mouth twitched. This guy obviously misunderstood and actually thought that the drawer contained pornographic books or something like that.
However, this reason is feasible. Guzheng is a girl with a very thin skin. She will blush even when holding hands. As long as she realizes that there are unhealthy books in the drawer, she will definitely scold him in a low voice for being "shameless", and then blush and stop asking questions.
"I do not know."
Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng didn't understand Lin Anyu's hint at all. She looked confused and asked, "What do you mean by hidden things that are difficult to talk about?"
"Ah?" Lin Anyu was stunned. "Don't you know?"
"How can I know since you are so vague?"
"That's the one, the kind that's suitable for watching late at night..."
"It's late at night and everyone is asleep?" Gu Zheng tilted her head slightly, confusion flashing in her bright eyes, "Isn't it daytime now?"
"Um, which color do you think is the dirtiest?"
"If I must say... it's brown, it looks dirty... why are you asking that?"
"..."
This is troublesome...
Lin Anyu's expression became somewhat unnatural.
How should I put it? As a love expert (self-proclaimed), he never minds sharing some interesting new knowledge with girls, but it depends on the person.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you have a girl who can understand things quickly and even drive faster than boys. Maybe your dirty jokes may not be better than hers.
The girls who know a thing or two are actually okay. Such girls blush easily. As long as the other party does not mind, he can generously educate them and see the other party's shy appearance;
However, facing a pure and innocent child like Guzheng, it was really hard for him to have the idea of polluting her mind, which would give him an unspeakable sense of guilt.
The words "pornographic books" were on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't say them out loud. Lin Anyu tried to hint at it a few more times, but seeing that this girl, who was always at the top of the class in studies, looked confused, he had to give up. He gave Han Zhou a look that said "May you be lucky" and then shut up.
Seeing the two people's constant eye contact, Gu Zheng understood a little and said with a curled lip: "You two know what's in this drawer, right? But you just won't tell me..."
Han Zhou wanted to say something but stopped himself, and frantically winked at Lin Anyu, but the latter had already turned his head away, with an expression that said, "If you want to say something, just say it, don't come and hurt me."
"Don't make things difficult for others. If you have anything to say, just tell me." Noticing his little action, Guzheng's face turned serious and she raised her hand and punched him.
Lin Anyu showed a gloating expression.
Seeing that Gu Zheng refused to give up, Han Zhou took a deep breath and said, "Listen to me, Gu Zheng. It's better if you don't know what's in here."
He decided to continue using Lin Anyu's misleading tactics to prevent this guy from coming to ask him what was in his drawer later.
"Why?" Gu Zheng looked unhappy. "Lin Anyu obviously knows it, and I won't let you know..."
She inexplicably thought of the "childhood sweetheart" that Lin Anyu had just mentioned, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"It's not a question of whether or not to let it slip..."
"What's the question? You obviously don't want to tell me."
Although Lin Anyu was happy to watch the fun, he still explained for Han Zhou: "Guzheng, you misunderstood. Han Zhou was just afraid of causing a huge impact on your young mind."
After saying this, he continued to look like he was enjoying a good show.
"What do you mean?" Gu Zheng became more and more confused as she listened. "Does this secret have anything to do with me?"
She became more and more curious about what was in the drawer.
Han Zhou felt a headache and sighed, "First, promise that you won't be angry after listening to me, so that I can tell you."
"I promise I'm not angry, just tell me!" Gu Zheng said impatiently.
If I tell him now that I want to have two relationships at the same time, this guy will definitely forget his current promise and throw me downstairs...
Looking into Gu Zheng's clear and bright eyes, Han Zhou sighed inwardly. He and Lin Anyu actually had similar thoughts. Neither of them wanted to pollute the pure heart of this girl, but for now they could only bite the bullet and continue talking.
He hesitated for a while, but decided not to get straight to the point. He said in a roundabout way, "Gu Zheng, you must first know that some works in this world are only prepared for a specific group of people. Their special nature means that they are difficult to make public."
Lin Anyu almost laughed out loud. It was the first time he heard someone use such implicit words to describe pornographic books and magazines, and even a book was published.
book?
Gu Zheng nodded slightly confusedly: "Are you talking about the kind of books that are very obscure to read?"
You can completely remove the word "obscure"...
Han Zhou wanted to end the topic simply and directly, but he couldn't say it. After hesitating for a while, he said, "It's not obscure, but if I have to say it, it should be appreciated by both the elite and the masses..."
"Pfft!"
Lin Anyu laughed out loud immediately. What a joke. It was so appealing to both the elite and the masses. He didn’t expect that Han Zhou was so good at telling jokes.
The air became quiet.
Seeing that the two of them were looking at him at the same time, Lin Anyu took deep breaths repeatedly, stretched out his hands and pinched his cheeks fiercely, then he reluctantly put away his smile and said with a stern face: "Sorry, I suddenly thought of something happy."
Gu Zheng looked at him suspiciously for a while, then turned her attention back to Han Zhou: "Since it is appreciated by both the elite and the masses, why can't you show it to me?"
"because……"
Han Zhou was considering his words when Lin Anyu suppressed his laughter and said, "Because if you saw this, Han Zhou would definitely be embarrassed. He might not even be able to face you today."
Don't have the face to face me?
A question mark popped up in Guzheng's head. Despite the implicit hints from the two people, the innocent girl still had no idea of associating it with pornographic books and magazines, and looked at the two people blankly.
What are these two guys talking about? Why do they both act like I should understand...
As she became more and more confused, she suddenly noticed the ambiguous smile on Lin Anyu's face, and Han Zhou's hesitant expression. Similar scenes that she had seen more than once appeared in her mind, and she felt a flash of inspiration suddenly drilled into her mind -
I remember that when a girl in the dormitory wanted to confess her feelings, her friends would smile in a flirtatious manner, while the girl herself would be shy and afraid to reveal her feelings...
They look very similar to the two of them now...
Guzheng slowly widened her eyes, and a bold guess emerged in her mind.
No, no, I'm not sure yet...
Now let’s consolidate the information.
First of all, the things in the drawer are difficult for Han Zhou to talk about. Once she sees them, Han Zhou will be embarrassed and even dare not face her again, that is, he will be shy or embarrassed;
Secondly, the things in the drawer are only for a certain group of people and cannot be made public, but the nature of the things themselves is of the type that can be appreciated by both the elite and the masses. In other words, there is nothing wrong with the things themselves, but the problem lies in the people they are for;
Finally, this thing is likely to have a huge impact on her mind...
Han Zhou's hesitant expression, Lin Anyu's ambiguous smile as if he was watching a good show...
Guzheng's heartbeat paused for a moment.
