Chapter 266: Falling in love
As soon as the holiday came, Wang Fang, Gu Weiying and I bought train tickets for that evening, which would take 5 hours.
When we arrived at the provincial capital station, it was just past 4 a.m. The three of us hugged each other and squeezed on the bench in the waiting room and waited until 6 a.m. to leave the station.
After having breakfast, I asked about the bus to Zhang Chen’s school and got on it.
After taking a bus, we arrived at the gate of Gao Youpeng and Zhang Chen's school at around 8 o'clock.
Wang Fang and I were both very excited.
Thinking about the fact that I will soon see Zhang Chen, whom I haven't seen for half a year and whom I miss day and night, my heart is beating like a little rabbit.
The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and she imagined the scene of their meeting over and over again in her mind. The excitement made her body tremble slightly.
We decided to look for Gao Youpeng first. After asking a few students, we entered the school gate and walked towards Gao Youpeng's dormitory.
Gao Youpeng is a sophomore. I wonder if he will live in the same dormitory as Zhang Chen?
I am looking forward to the moment when Zhang Chen will appear in front of me and run towards me with a smile.
His eyes were shining with anticipation as he kept looking around, and every second seemed especially long.
The unexpected surprise made me very happy. The joy and nervousness of meeting my sweetheart intertwined together, making me immersed in a wonderful atmosphere.
But the moment I was expecting did not come. It was not until we found Gao Youpeng that my thoughts returned to reality.
Gao Youpeng was also very surprised when he saw Wang Fang. He enthusiastically invited us to sit in his dormitory.
He bought a ticket to go home for tomorrow. After learning the purpose of our visit, he volunteered to take us to the wholesale market.
He said the wholesale market was a bit chaotic and he was worried that the three of us, new and naive girls, would be tricked or bullied in the market.
He told us that we should just ask about the price and not touch the things. If we meet someone with a foreign accent, the bosses will force us to pay a high price for the things on the grounds that they have damaged them.
Especially girls, many girls in their school went to the wholesale market to buy clothes and were deceived. In the end, the clothes they bought were much more expensive than those in shopping malls.
Hearing this, we were very glad that we came to Gao Youpeng first, otherwise we would not know what the consequences would be when we went to the provincial capital to purchase goods for the first time.
"However, Senior Gao, please take us to find our classmate Zhang Chen. I'm afraid it will be safer if you two stay with us."
I was thinking about Zhang Chen the whole time, and I casually drank the hot water that Gao Youpeng poured for us, and then I spoke.
"Yes, go find your Zhang Chen."
Wang Fang and Gu Weiying saw through my thoughts and smiled evilly.
"Okay then! I'll take you to find him. I know this Zhang Chen."
Gao Youpeng said that after all, they were from the same city, so it was not surprising that he knew Zhang Chen.
Because we had to catch the late bus back, we drank the hot water, felt a little warmer, and went to find Zhang Chen together.
On the way, I was still looking forward to meeting Zhang Chen.
Gao Youpeng and Wang Fang walked in front, talking and laughing. Gu Weiying and I walked behind, and I was still a little nervous.
Suddenly a familiar figure came into my sight. Zhang Chen, who was about 1.8 meters tall, stood out in the crowd.
Just as I rushed forward with joy and wanted to shout out, the scene in front of me stunned me for a moment.
It turned out that he was having an intimate conversation with a girl next to him. I thought they were just ordinary classmates and didn’t think much about it at first.
But his next move surprised me.
Zhang Chen had a faint smile on his face and his eyes were full of doting.
I saw him raise his arms naturally, the movement was smooth and natural, as if he had done it countless times.
His palm rested lightly on the girl's waist, his fingers slightly bent, then slowly tightened, gently hugging the girl's waist.
There was no hesitation or delay in his actions, as if all this was so natural.
His hands fit the girl's waist perfectly, with just the right amount of strength, which neither made the girl feel uncomfortable nor made her feel his love and care clearly.
With a gentle push of his arm, the girl moved closer to him, and the distance between them was instantly shortened. Behind that skillful movement was the deep attachment and tacit understanding between them.
I looked at Zhang Chen in front of me in disbelief. His arms were affectionately around another girl's waist.
At that moment, I felt as if my world had collapsed.
My heart suddenly shrank, and a sharp pain instantly spread throughout my body. My eyes widened, filled with shock, pain, and despair.
I felt like I couldn't breathe, as if all the air around me had been sucked away.
My mind was blank, with only the intimate scene of Zhang Chen and the girl repeating over and over again.
My body began to tremble slightly, and tears welled up in my eyes, but they stubbornly refused to fall, as if once they fell, I would completely collapse.
I really wanted to rush over to question him, but my feet seemed to be nailed down and I couldn't move.
I felt deceived and hurt, and my heart was filled with endless sorrow and anger, but I didn't know how to vent it. I could only stand there and let the painful emotions overwhelm me.
My eyes froze for a moment, staring blankly at Zhang Chen and the strange girl not far away.
At this time, the girl next to Zhang Chen slowly turned around with a wanton smile on her lips.
There was a glint of cunning and complacency in her eyes as she looked straight over here.
When she looked back, her eyes seemed to have hooks, sharp and provocative.
That look seemed to say: "You are doomed to fail." She raised her chin slightly, and her hair swayed slightly with her movements, adding a bit of arrogance.
There was undisguised contempt on her face, as if she was showing off her victory.
At that moment, everything around me seemed to be still. Only her provocative look back was like a sharp sword, piercing my heart fiercely.
My eyes gradually lost their luster, and the bright pupils were now dim.
My brows were tightly furrowed, forming a deep groove, which was the mark of pain carved on my face.
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and there was an unspeakable bitterness and sadness.
My face seemed to have lost all its vitality, leaving only endless pain and despair, as if the whole world had left me at this moment, leaving me alone struggling and wandering in this abyss of pain.
Seeing me standing there in a daze for a moment, Wang Fang followed my gaze.
The scene before her made her understand everything. She was about to open her mouth to yell at Zhang Chen and vent her anger, but was stopped by someone who suddenly came to her senses.
"Are you okay?" Wang Fang clenched her fists, suppressing the anger in her heart, and asked while holding her hands that had turned white from being pinched by me.
"Nothing?" I squeezed out three words, holding back my tears.
Gu Weiying didn’t know Zhang Chen, but she seemed to read something from my expression. She leaned over and gently stroked my shoulders without saying a word.
