Although he kept his distance from Huang Panpan, he also didn't want this girl to be harmed by gangsters. Her clothes could indeed make her very vulnerable to danger. After all, they had been entangled for more than ten years in his previous life. Even if he didn't accept her, he still had some feelings for her.
"Follow me!"
Su Zelin said coldly.
Huang Panpan followed happily, took Su Zelin's arm, and asked happily: "Senior, where are we going? Shall we get a room?"
"Screw you, I'll take you home!"
Su Zelin struggled but failed to break free. Huang Panpan held him very tightly, so he didn't dare to use too much force.
"Oh, but I don't want to go home so soon, how about you walk with me, senior?"
"I don't have that taste!"
"Then I'd better go back to the Internet!"
"I'll buy you a drink, then go home!"
Su Zelin finally compromised.
Besides, he also needs to educate Huang Panpan.
"Okay, Senior!"
Huang Panpan did not dare to push her too far, lest she really angered Su Zelin and left in anger.
I went to a nearby smoothie stand and ordered two cups of mung bean ice.
Before the smoothie was served, Huang Panpan quickly took out her small notebook and a pen.
"July 11th, sunny. Tonight I went on my first date with my senior. He treated me to a smoothie. This is a big step forward in our relationship. It looks like I'll be able to become his official girlfriend soon!"
Are you Doraemon
Where did you get this notebook from
Su Zelin was puzzled.
Huang Panpan’s dark Gothic style dress has no bags on it, so where can she hide her notebook
This girl's diary was so outrageous that Su Zelin was too tired to complain.
In her diary, not to mention herself, even her parents were not spared and became the "future grandparents-in-law."
Write whatever you want, just do it as she pleases!
After Huang Panpan finished writing her diary, Su Zelin coughed and said, "Didn't I tell you not to go to the Internet cafe alone at night? There are many troubles in such a mixed place, especially when you are dressed like this, it is easy to cause trouble, understand?"
He tried his best to keep his tone gentler and convince people with reason.
"Senior, don't worry, I was using the telephone line at home to access the Internet just now!"
Perhaps Huang Panpan felt very happy because she felt Su Zelin's concern.
Su Zelin nodded.
In 2000, it was possible to access the Internet at home, but this was not home broadband because it was only possible via an analog signal over the telephone line, dialing into a special ISP number.
This way of accessing the Internet was extremely slow. The modem speed at that time was only 56Kbps, and the theoretical speed was 7KB/S.
Not only is it slow, it’s also expensive.
This type of Internet access fee is divided into two parts: Internet fee + telephone fee.
Telephone charges are collected uniformly by the telephone company, approximately 0.3 cents per minute, or $1.80 per hour.
Internet fees are charged by different ISPs and the prices are also different. Taking the 263 Internet card as an example, it is about 3 yuan per hour.
The telephone and internet fees add up to five dollars per hour.
The key experience is still poor, so most people choose to go to Internet cafes.
Another point is that making phone calls and surfing the Internet are mutually exclusive: you cannot dial up to the Internet when using a landline to make phone calls, and you cannot make phone calls to a landline when dialing up to the Internet.
Yes, it’s that painful!
Only rich people, and those who seek convenience, use dial-up Internet access at home via telephone lines.
Huang Panpan's parents doted on her and tried their best to satisfy her material needs. At the same time, they were worried that she would travel around during the holidays, so it was quite normal for them to buy a computer and let her access the Internet via a telephone line.
"As for this outfit, I put it on after I came out to see you. There's a saying that goes, 'Women dress up to please themselves. Senior, am I pretty?'"
Huang Panpan puffed up her chest. She was very confident about her appearance. There were many bootlickers in No. 2 Middle School, but she just ignored them.
"That's just the way it is. You're dressed like a witch. I'm really afraid you'll poke my little man!"
Su Zelin disagreed.
Although this dark Gothic style is quite stunning and suits Huang Panpan, he will never admit it.
"How could that be, Senior? No matter what happens, I won't hurt you. I swear!"
Huang Panpan said seriously.
This is true, and Su Zelin also believes it.
She had been entangled with him for more than ten years before her rebirth. Apart from being a little annoyed, she really hadn't done anything to hurt herself. At most, she was a little too radical that time when she put drugs in his wine.
"Anyway, you'd better not wear this dress. It's not suitable!"
Su Zelin advised earnestly.
"Senior, you don't like it? Fine, I'll change it and throw it away when I get back!"
"Khan, that's not necessary!"
"It's okay. It's only a few hundred dollars anyway. It's not worth much."
Su Zelin: “…”
Damn, this rich little girl is better at pretending than me. How can I live
Huang Panpan sipped a glass of smoothie reluctantly, and only finished it after Su Zelin urged her many times.
Then Su Zelin rode his bicycle to take her home.
It was already past ten o'clock, most of the shops on the street were closed, and there were few pedestrians.
Although the public security in this era has improved compared to the 1990s, one can still occasionally run into hooligans roaming the streets late at night. Su Zelin is worried about letting a girl who is dressed so ostentatiously go home alone.
Huang Panpan was obviously in a good mood along the way, humming and jumping around like a yellow oriole out of the valley.
Jianglan City is not big, and it doesn't take much time to drive around the city in a Jialing car. Huang Panpan's home is in the city center not far from the most prosperous commercial city, so he reached his destination in less than ten minutes.
Lijing Community is the first villa area developed in the city and is also a gathering place for wealthy people.
Even in 2000, the minimum price of a villa here was over 600,000 yuan, and the real estate market had not yet taken off. This price could almost buy three ordinary residential buildings in good locations.
In later times, this community became the only villa area in the center of Jianglan City, and second-hand villas were priced at sky-high prices.
Su Zelin's family is considered wealthy, but there is still a big gap between them and the wealthy like Huang Panpan's family.
The bicycle stopped at the entrance of the community, which was already very safe.
Huang Panpan got off the car reluctantly: "Senior, I'm very happy tonight, I'll come to see you another day!"
"I'm busy, don't look for me!"
Su Zelin refused without hesitation.
"Okay, Senior, it's a happy deal."
Huang Panpan continued talking to herself.
Su Zelin made up his mind that he must be invisible next time he goes online on QQ and never let this girl see him and go to the Internet cafe again.
There are not many Internet cafes near Jiang Lan, and they are all concentrated in the commercial city in the city center. As long as she finds herself surfing the Internet, it is easy to find her.
"Go in now, I'm leaving!"
Su Zelin rode away on his bike.
Huang Panpan watched him disappear in the distance, then skipped into the community.
It won't be long before you reach your home. This is a three-story detached villa, covering an area of more than 150 square meters. It is the best one in the Lijing community where many wealthy people gather. Of course, it is also the most expensive, costing nearly one million yuan. It is definitely a luxury house in this era.
The villa is decorated magnificently, like a palace. A large crystal chandelier hangs on the first floor, and the tiles, furniture and electrical appliances are all branded.
"Panpan, you're back!"
In the lobby on the second floor, a graceful lady wearing a silk nightgown saw Huang Panpan, and her anxious face finally relaxed.
Mu Panpan's mother Li Juan.
Huang Panpan, who was originally in a good mood, frowned when she saw her mother.
It seems that the relationship between mother and daughter is not good.
Not only her relationship with her mother, but also with her father is very cold.
When Huang Panpan was still young, the couple started their business. They were busy outside all day and left their daughter to be taken care of by her grandmother.
Lacking the company of her parents, the person closest to her is her grandmother.
One night when she was four years old, her grandmother suddenly died of a cerebral infarction. Both her parents were not at home that night. Huang Panpan, who was still a young child, helplessly guarded her grandmother's cold body, not knowing what to do. After dawn, she walked out of the house in a daze and told her neighbors that her grandmother would not wake up no matter how they called her.
The neighbors then hurriedly contacted Huang Panpan's parents and asked them to return home immediately.
Losing her beloved grandmother that night left an indelible trauma in Huang Panpan's young heart. Her personality changed drastically and she became more and more withdrawn.
But at that time her parents had not realized the seriousness of the problem. Because of their incompatibility in personality, the couple even ran their own business separately. When they got home, they quarreled all day long over trivial matters. They were physically together but spiritually estranged. Although they did not divorce for the sake of their daughter, these things subtly affected Huang Panpan's growth.
When she finally turned into a rebellious problem girl, her parents finally realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
They finally thought of accompanying Huang Panpan and tried their best to pretend to be loving in front of their daughter, but it was all in vain.
In desperation, the couple could only continue to make up for it with their best material things.
Huang Panpan's pocket money is always several times more than that of her peers, and when it comes to material things, she will satisfy all their requests.
However, she was very lonely and resisted her parents in her heart, and didn't even want to say a word to them.
This is a girl who is extremely lacking in love, but it is not easy to move Huang Panpan. In her eyes, the expressions of love from those men around her are extremely superficial and not reliable at all.
The only person who moved her was Su Zelin.
Facing a group of thugs alone in an Internet cafe, if it were any other student, they wouldn't dare to stand up for themselves. I'm afraid they would be so scared that their balls would shrink and they wouldn't dare to fart.
However, Su Zelin stood up and saved Huang Panpan, a stranger, despite the pressure from that group of gangsters. It was the first time that Huang Panpan felt such care and love. The tall and glorious image of this senior instantly emerged, melting her frozen heart and making her fall in love with Su Zelin at first sight.
The more introverted a person is, the more serious they will be once they fall in love. That's why Huang Panpan stubbornly pursued Su Zelin for more than ten years in her previous life. Even though he had always rejected her, she was never willing to let go.
"It's so late, where have you been? Your dad even drove out to look for you!"
Li Juan asked casually.
"What does it have to do with you? I'm not a child anymore. I have hands and feet. I will go home naturally!"
Huang Panpan said impatiently.
Li Juan did not dare to get angry at her daughter's rude talk back, and just smiled and said, "Pan Pan, we are worried about you too."
"Haha, worry, you should just take care of your own business!"
Huang Panpan walked into the room with a sneer and slammed the door shut.
Li Juan felt a little helpless.
She and her husband should bear the greatest responsibility for their daughter's current situation.
She didn't pay enough attention to accompanying her grandmother when she was a child, and her grandmother died suddenly. The fact that her daughter stayed with the body all night left an indelible shadow in her heart. I'm afraid she will never forgive herself in this life.
At this time, her Samsung flip phone rang, and she saw it was her husband Huang Hongbo calling.
"I searched several Internet cafes but couldn't find my daughter!"
Huang Hongbo knows his daughter quite well. Since Huang Panpan is not at home at this time, the most likely place she would go is probably the Internet cafe.
"Don't look for her anymore, Panpan is back home!"
Li Juan said unhappily.
"Also, we need to buy our daughter a cell phone so that we can keep in touch with her. Otherwise, it's not a good idea for her to be running around all day."
“That’s possible!”
Huang Hongbo deeply agrees with this.
It is on the issue of their daughter's safety that the couple can most easily reach a consensus.
He made a decision quickly. "I'm going to buy one for Panpan tomorrow. Didn't Samsung just release a dual-screen flip phone last month? I think it's called something..."
"A288!"
"Yes, this one. It has a pearl white color that's quite suitable for girls. Panpan will definitely like it!"
"Okay, then I'll leave this to you!"
"… "
