I was completely confused: "Ah? What does the uproar in my family have to do with Feng Zhenyang?"
"Brother Zhenyang's mother and... my ex-brother-in-law, both came to our house today!" Shen Shiqi was extremely anxious: "Where is Brother Zhenyang? Didn't Mother Feng say that you two were together?"
Zhao Yicheng and Feng's mother were both at my house! I had expected Zhao Yicheng to come to my house with such a shameless face. If he didn't come on the first day of the new year, he would come on the fifteenth day. But what did Feng's mother mean by coming to my house? No! Was she going to argue with my parents
As far as I know, although Feng's mother likes to meddle in other people's business and often reaches out to the Pacific Ocean, she would never do such a thing as to come to my house to argue with my parents! If she wanted to argue with my parents, she should have argued with them twelve years ago when my parents refused her to sponsor me to go to college!
What is Feng's mother going to do at my house now? When Feng Zhenyang came over, I asked him with full of doubt: "Feng Zhenyang, what's going on? What is your mother going to do at my house for no reason?"
Feng Zhenyang frowned as if he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words and said, "Let's go to your house first, and we'll talk on the way. I just got a call from my mother, so hurry up, or we don't know what will happen if we don't go now!"
I was confused. Although Feng Zhenyang didn't explain, the tone of his voice made it sound as if his mother would cause some big trouble in my house.
It was a snowy winter and the streets of Qinghe City were sparsely populated. Occasionally, a few old ladies and old men would pass by carrying sackcloth bags and picking up garbage.
Through the frosty car window, the slightly blurred streets came into view, familiar yet unfamiliar, and the asphalt road was flat without any obstacles.
In my memory, there was originally a stone statue of Nuwa here, but it was later demolished because of road construction and the whole place was turned into a highway. I don't like it very much, I still like the fountain with the huge stone statue of Nuwa. When Feng Zhenyang and I were in high school, we passed by here almost every day.
Feng Zhenyang's family was well-off. In an era when even a PHS was considered a luxury, Feng Zhenyang owned a flip phone with a camera. In today's terms, Feng Zhenyang was very impressive for owning a flip phone.
Just like when I was in elementary school, I carried a big bag of Want Want snow cakes to school. At that time, I felt like I was the richest person in the world, a complete tycoon.
The local tycoon Feng Zhenyang likes to take pictures of me with his flip phone, and then asks me to take pictures for him. Then he complains that my photography skills are not as good as his, saying that I make him look too ugly in the pictures, and that if the pictures are spread in the future, it will make it difficult for him to find a wife.
In response, I said with great disdain: "You can't find a wife without these photos!"
Feng Zhenyang snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "If you weren't around, I don't know how many girlfriends I would have had! How can I be so miserable that no one cares about me? I'm a handsome guy!"
"You're a cricket!" I continued with contempt.
Our youth was different from what was written in the novels. We hated and despised each other. There was no abortion or premature love. We would just watch others fall in love prematurely, cheat, have abortions, and finally quarrel. Then Feng Zhenyang and I sincerely understood why the school did not allow premature love.
So, in high school, even though I had a secret crush on Feng Zhenyang for a while, I never said it out loud. As time went by, that feeling faded.
Maybe, this is what is called falling in love with the wrong person at the wrong time, and then missing out. By the time I was in my third year of high school, my busy life had made me forget why I liked Feng Zhenyang in the first place. I only remembered that he was my friend.
"Shen Jiaying! What are you daydreaming about? Are you thinking about Zhao Yicheng? Get off the car!" Feng Zhenyang's unpleasant voice pulled me out of my memories.
I came to my senses and reached out to open the car door while fighting back at Feng Zhenyang: "You are the cheap one! You had to drag me on a long-distance bus for no reason, causing me to alternate between hot and cold. I tell you, if I catch a cold or get bird flu or something, you will be fully responsible!"
"Okay, sister, don't let Zhenyang take responsibility! Go in quickly! If someone gets killed later, both of you will be responsible!" Before Feng Zhenyang could speak, Shen Shiqi spoke first.
So Feng Zhenyang and I looked at each other, eyes full of sorrow, and each of us carried our luggage into the house.
During the Chinese New Year, Feng Zhenyang arrived in Qinghe City and not only did he not go back to his own home, he also dragged his luggage into my house. Before entering the house, we both raised our guard, fearing that some crazy paparazzi would follow and secretly photograph us. This kind of thing happened to Zhao Yicheng and me before.
Speaking of Zhao Yicheng, I didn't want to see him. But unfortunately, he was the first person I saw when I walked in.
Zhao Yicheng went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables for my mother and helped her pick them, just like he did in the past. When I saw him, he was picking vegetables in the yard.
I was mentally prepared, but I still felt uncomfortable the moment I saw Zhao Yicheng. In the past, he was a good man, willing to help my parents during the New Year, and had a good relationship with my parents. I also liked to bring him home. It was the same when I went to his house. At that time, he loved me and would not watch his mother bully me.
Of course, before she fell out with Zhao Yicheng, her mother would not be too difficult to deal with. Sometimes she would be too fussy, but I would just pretend I didn't hear it. Because I loved him, I was very touched when he came to my house to help my mother and fix my father's computer.
However, things are totally different now. I looked at Zhao Yicheng coldly, and Zhao Yicheng looked at me coldly. From the living room came the sound of my father and Feng's mother talking, and it sounded like they were having an unpleasant conversation.
Shen Shiqi and Feng Zhenyang looked at Zhao Yicheng and didn't say much. They just hurried into the house, fearing that the old men inside would start fighting. So, Zhao Yicheng and I were the only ones left in the yard.
He moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something. Before he could open his mouth, I angrily said, "Zhao Yicheng, if you have nothing to do, just go back to your home and talk to your mother about life! Why are you coming to our house? What did you promise me in the beginning? You will never bother me again. We have nothing to do with each other! Why are you running here now? Don't tell me you still love me! Just tell me, what do you want to do?..."
Bang! Before I could finish my words, I heard a loud noise in the room, like a vase or something was smashed. I was so scared that I forgot what to say to Zhao Yicheng, and hurried into the house dragging my suitcase.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard my father's thunderous insults: "I'm telling you, little brat, if you dare to play tricks on my daughter and son-in-law behind their backs again and destroy their marriage, I will definitely not be polite!"
What? Feng Zhenyang destroyed my marriage with Zhao Yicheng. I looked at my furious father, then at the broken glass on the floor, and finally looked up to see… Feng Zhenyang with blood all over his forehead!!! (To be continued)
