Chapter 25 Rock Paper Scissors
There is such a picture in my memory.
One day, the sun was warm, and there were mottled painted basketball stands and not very flat cement floors on the playground of No. 2 Middle School.
Every time after school, Wang Lingfei, Sun Le and others would come here to practice basketball together with Zhou Peng and Wang Dali.
Almost no one who plays basketball doesn’t like shooting, just as no one likes to pick up basketball.
In this case, Zhou Peng and others had to arrange the task of picking up basketball in advance. According to Zhou Peng's previous performance, they would definitely strive to obey the organization's orders. Wang Lingfei and Sun Le and others had expected this in advance.
But if there were only Zhou Peng and a group of girls, Zhou Peng would naturally be asked to pick up basketballs, but the number of participants obviously exceeded expectations, so after discussion, the organization decided to decide the winner in the form of scissors and stone cloth.
At that time, Wang Lingfei, Sun Le, Zhou Peng, Li Ran, Wang Dali and others were also present to participate in this project. After some decisions, in a short while, only Zhou Peng, Wang Lingfei and Wang Dali were left.
Then Zhou Peng quietly blinked at Wang Lingfei and signaled that the two of them would come out together. Wang Lingfei nodded in agreement.
But after the result, Wang Lingfei and Wang Dali won, and the latter laughed even more excitedly.
Wang Lingfei looked stunned.
She didn't understand. Since she had already agreed to make stones together, why did I get scissors and you get cloth?
But at this moment, Wang Lingfei suddenly understood.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his body, pulling out a long slanted shadow. When Wang Lingfei said the three words "I'm sorry", she originally thought she would get the most fundamental relief, but she didn't expect that her heart would feel more and more painful.
This is a real world, and Wang Lingfei is also a real girl. Maybe she had fantasies in her mind, fantasizing that she was a little princess wearing a pink dress, and there was a white horse knight like Zhou Peng who was a little handsome like him.
But Wang Lingfei always had a potential saying in her mind: Zhou Peng is just a knight who protects himself, not a prince he likes.
At the end of the high school entrance examination, Wang Lingfei had already clearly divided the boundaries between students into three or six. Some were in No. 1 Middle School, some were in No. 2 Middle School, and some were in No. 3 Middle School, and some would go to the city or a wider place to seek the top teaching holy place.
But there is no doubt that Zhou Peng did not stand in the same boundary as himself. He was rushed into the downstream in the torrent of life, while he was soaring in this torrent. In the near future, in this world of light development, the pace of the two will also go further and further.
So Wang Lingfei thought, since the result is already destined, why not be decisive? Long pain is ultimately more heartbreaking than short pain.
All the beauty hidden deep in the memory was like water stains slapped on the tidal coast. They wanted to break free from the shackles of the sea and get rid of their own fate of being integrated, but in the end they could only return to their hometown with the vast waves.
Zhou Peng looked at Wang Lingfei's guilty look and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his lips.
Since his rebirth, Zhou Peng has always carried a shackle from his previous life.
The traces of memories of the previous life made Zhou Peng feel a little regretful in his heart, and he did not win the first love of the past. But after Nirvana rebirth, in the mind of the 30-year-old uncle, he was more of a infinite attachment to Wang Lingfei. If Zhou Peng was allowed to pursue Wang Lingfei now, with his understanding of Wang Lingfei in his previous life, Zhou Peng believed that he could still gain Wang Lingfei's favor again.
However, at the graduation party not long ago, Zhou Peng changed his view of making up for the shortcomings of the past.
Just like a painting competition, some things are worth modifying, and some stories will become precious if they are precipitated and sealed.
So after the graduation party, Zhou Peng began to try not to touch a beautiful memory by himself.
"It's him!"
At this moment, Sun Le's voice sounded like thunder on the ground in his ears.
Wang Lingfei's expression changed. Although she and Zhou Peng had completely figured out their relationship just now, if she saw Zhou Peng being beaten with her own eyes, it was not something she wanted to see. So Wang Lingfei stood in front of Zhou Peng and faced the upcoming storm alone, like a hen protecting a chicken, using a stubborn and stubborn attitude to stop Sun Le and a group of men in security uniforms from continuing to move forward.
Most of these security guards are retired veterans, with a tough body and a tough temperament all over their bodies.
Thinking of the rumors that the group of security guards beat a thief who broke in to the head of blood not long ago, Wang Lingfei's face suddenly turned pale, and there was an unconcealable fear in her eyes, but she still stood in front of Zhou Peng. When she looked at Sun Le, she was tactful and determined, "Sun Le, let's forget about this..."
Zhou Peng, who was standing behind her, smiled helplessly, but a feeling of emotion surged in his heart.
"It can't be counted!" Sun Le snorted, "He broke in without permission from the community. Such a thing can be big or small. What if he steals things?"
The security guards behind Sun Le suddenly changed their faces. If the residents lost their things in the community where he was guarding him, they would not have to continue doing it.
"Boss!" A thin security guard attached to the ears of the security captain Yang Qingshan, "It seems like he's wrong. The boy is a resident who just moved in..."
Yang Qingshan was about 1.85 meters tall, about 30 years old. When he heard his subordinates' words, the flesh on his face shook a few times.
Sun Le's father is the vice president of the county people's hospital. If Sun Le hadn't come to call someone in person just now, he wouldn't have come here in person. Just by listening to a sentence from his subordinates, he realized that this matter was obviously a misunderstanding. Just looking at the angry Sun Le, Yang Qingshan couldn't directly point it out, and he became a little embarrassed for a moment.
Zhou Peng looked at Wang Lingfei who was blocking his side to protect him and sighed, "Ling Fei, get out of the way..."
"Don't let it go!" Wang Lingfei's face changed and she said anxiously, "You get out of here..."
"Actually, my family lives here..." Zhou Peng spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "So there is no need to leave at all..."
Wang Lingfei was stunned and turned around, "Isn't your home in Hongfeng Community near No. 2 Middle School?"
Hongfeng Community is the family community of Hongfeng Garment Factory where Zhou Peng's father is. Wang Lingfei, Sun Le and others knew Zhou Peng's home address, so they were all surprised when they saw Zhou Peng appearing in Jinxiu Community.
Zhou Peng shook his head, "My family has just moved here."
Sun Le heard the conversation between Zhou Peng and Wang Lingfei on the side and sneered, "What a joke? I haven't been to your family. Can I compare with our Jinxiu Community?"
This sentence immediately made the security guards behind him feel embarrassed. No matter where Zhou Peng's family lived in the past, even if it was a slum, they have bought the house in Jinxiu Community and are naturally a member of Jinxiu Community.
The security guards looked at Sun Le's arrogant look and felt ridiculous and no one was willing to remind him. Finally, the security captain Yang Qingshan hesitated for a moment before calling him a haha, "This is a misunderstanding, ah, a misunderstanding, Xiaole, this boy is indeed a resident of our community, and he really moved in today..."
Sun Le was originally very proud of himself, and felt that Zhou Peng would have to fall down and be beaten up by the security guards today, so that she could use this to make her angry that Zhou Peng was "abandoned" by Zhou Peng. But after hearing the security captain Yang Qingshan's explanation, his face suddenly changed. He turned his head and stared at Yang Qingshan. After a while, he laughed at himself, "That's right, it turns out to be a misunderstanding."
Yang Qingshan only felt his scalp numb, and he was secretly blamed himself for not reminding Sun Le, which had lost a lot of face to this child. If he had a minor disaster in the future, he would probably not be able to enjoy the discount when he went to the People's Hospital...
Wang Lingfei turned her head and looked surprised. She suddenly realized that Zhou Peng had changed more and more recently, not to mention her calm and calm behavior at the graduation party. Just talking about it, when a group of security guards rushed over, even ordinary people would probably have hurriedly explained it clearly, but Zhou Peng did the opposite and did not explain it clearly first. Deliberately doing this would make Sun Le lose face. This calm and calm temperament seemed even more dazzling at this time.
Zhou Peng shrugged, flew past Wang Lingfei in front of him, Sun Le, who looked gloomy and sunny, and a group of security guards who smiled and signaled.
Under the setting sun, walking out of the community, he still remembered his mother's instructions to go out and buy a bottle of high-priced Wuliangye.
Behind him.
Seeing Zhou Peng passing by him like a stranger, Wang Lingfei raised her head and looked at Zhou Peng's back as she walked further and further away, her nose was slightly sore.
She remembered the story of the stone scissors again, and then her eyes were blurred by the sudden burst of tears.
Any thoughts and wishes that once flourished and magnificently disappeared at this moment, as Zhou Peng's figure disappeared, they began to shatter like dandelions floating in the wind.
......
But occasionally there will be some feather seeds that will wander in the torrent of time, taking root and sprouting, gradually growing, waiting for their blooming again.
