After November, the autumn day in N City passed so quietly this year, and the deciduous trees on both sides of the road were completely bare. The temperature has plummeted, the air is dry and cold, and the worst of the seasons has arrived.
It has been more than three months since Zhang Man was reborn.
In the monthly exam in early December, she was a lot more serious. This time, including the physical results of the subsequent exams, is very important. The head teacher will select students who will participate in the physics competition in the second year of high school.
Zhang Man had a clear calculation in his heart, Li Wei had already given her more than three months of lessons, and it was only natural that she had made great progress compared to before, and it would not arouse his suspicions.
So she basically let go of writing, except for the last big question, which was more complicated, which was still empty, and everything else was done.
Sure enough, after the results came out, she made a little stir in the class again. She was a person who failed when she first entered the school, and she actually got over 100 in the physics test with a perfect score of 122. Even the class teacher Liu Zhijun paid attention to her. Get up, take the initiative to ask her to go to the office, praise and encourage her face to face.
Zhang Man came back from the office, happily put the physics test paper on the boy's desk, cupped his cheeks in both hands, and looked at him with sparkling eyes, wanting to be praised by him.
The boy finished the paper, glanced at the place where she lost points, and frowned slightly.
"The last question, I did something similar last time I made up the class, and you did it right."
Zhang Man took a look at the test paper, and it was really the question he did last time.
Oops, she didn't pay attention to what the last question was when she took the exam, thinking it must be a very complicated problem, so she left it blank.
She turned her head around quickly, sneered, and forcibly explained: "I'm still unskilled, and I thought this topic was familiar at the time, but I just couldn't think of how to do it."
The boy nodded and stopped embarrassing her.
Zhang Man changed the subject: "Li Wei, are you going to participate in a physics competition in the future? How do you think I've learned? Can I go with you? I think physics seems to be fun recently."
Only then did the boy give her a serious look, as if evaluating whether she was serious.
Zhang Man immediately sat upright, folded his hands in a proper manner, and looked very sincere: "I'm serious, you see, my total score is the tail of the crane in our class, and if I take the college entrance examination, it will be at most one. One, if you learn to compete, you might still have a chance.”
Hearing the words, the young man said softly, "It will be very tiring."
"I'm not afraid. Next time I go to your house, will you teach me to do the competition questions? I've checked them all. The high school competitions include university mechanics, electromagnetism and thermal science. Shall we start with university mechanics?"
The teenager pondered for a while, probably thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and nodded after a while: "Okay."
. …
When she got home that day, Zhang Man found that Zhang Huifang was not at home again. She put a supper made for her on the table and posted a note asking her to go to bed earlier.
She has been coming home late more and more often.
Zhang Man had doubts in her heart, she didn't know Zheng Zhi, did she
She panicked and calmed herself down again. While sitting down to eat supper, I thought carefully about some time points in my previous life.
She still remembered that in her previous life, Zhang Huifang brought Zheng Zhi home for the first time in January of the following year, a winter with heavy snowfall. At that time, she had already broken up with Li Wei, she was unhappy all day, she was not interested in studying, and she had no intention to care about Zhang Huifang's various behaviors.
But why was there an impression that day
When Zheng Zhi came, he brought a lot of things to the house and bought Zhang Man a new mobile phone.
Zhang Man remembered that he was very tall, and he looked particularly elegant and handsome among middle-aged men with a pot belly. When the two first entered the door, they were covered in snow, and Zheng Zhi couldn't take care of himself, so he raised his hand and carefully patted the snow on Zhang Huifang's head and shoulders, his movements were very gentle.
That action made Zhang Man invisibly recognize him in her heart. She felt at the time that such a gentle person was at least a good person.
But she did not expect that his appearance was too deceptive, not only deceived Zhang Huifang, but also deceived her. And that man is really good at pretending, with a gentle and gentle appearance, in fact, he is a complete garbage in his bones.
. …
In other words, it is December now, and Zhang Huifang has probably already known Zheng Zhi, perhaps in the early stages of the development of the relationship.
Zhang Man's fingernails were digging into the palms of her hands. It seemed that she had to pay attention during this time, and she had to separate them no matter what.
That night, Zhang Huifang didn't come back until eleven o'clock, her face was slightly drunk, she took off her boots and walked in, humming a little song happily when she entered the door. Zhang Man sat on the sofa watching TV, and carefully observed her expression as soon as she entered the door.
It seems that they are inseparable, and the joy and tenderness on Zhang Huifang's face cannot be deceived. When she brought Zheng Zhi home in her previous life, she had such an expression on her face.
"Zhang Man? Why haven't you slept yet?"
She took off her coat and hung it behind the door, craned her neck and glanced at the dining table.
"Have you finished your supper? Dear, you have to get up early for class tomorrow, so go to sleep."
She was in a good mood, and even her tone softened a lot.
Zhang Huifang beckoned her into the room, and made a low voice call again.
. …
The next day, when Zhang Man went to school, he told Li Wei that he might have other things on Saturday, so he couldn't go to his house to make up lessons, and told him not to wait for her.
The teenager stopped the pen in his hand, and his voice was a little hesitant: "... sick again?"
His sharp logic and hers seemed incompatible.
Zhang Man was amused by him, and couldn't be more happy: "How can anyone make an appointment to get sick? I really have something to do at home."
The boy nodded and stopped asking.
—
On Saturday, Zhang Man waited at home for a whole day and did not see Zhang Huifang go out, so he was a little puzzled.
But think about it, most of the dates are at night, and she waited patiently until the evening.
About seven o'clock, Zhang Manxian told Zhang Huifang that he was going shopping with Chen Feier, and went downstairs to a cafe in front of the house.
She ordered a latte and sat in a booth by the window wearing a cap. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the coffee shop are just opposite the door of their unit, and you can clearly see the householders coming in and out.
Sure enough, about half an hour later, Zhang Huifang went out. She wears heavy smoky makeup and dresses up very delicately. A straight black woolen coat, tied with the same color belt, neat and free. The hem revealed a camel-colored fishtail tight-fitting sweater dress, and she also stepped on ten-centimeter high-heeled shoes that she didn't usually wear.
- In the winter of a lot of down jackets and big padded jackets, she looks really slim and colorful.
As she walked, she called someone, as if she was talking about where to meet.
Seeing this, Zhang Man walked out of the cafe and followed her, and saw that she reached out and stopped a taxi.
Zhang Man immediately got into the latter car.
"Master, please follow the car in front of you."
When he got there, Zhang Man realized that Zhang Huifang had actually arrived at a bar in N City, not a literary bar, but a serious dance club. She saw Zhang Huifang from a distance taking a man's arm at the door and walked into the bar.
Zhang Man's heart sank.
Although she couldn't see her face clearly, she would never forget her height, back, and that pretentious walking posture. It must be Zheng Zhi.
She followed inside, but was stopped by the security guard at the door.
"Little girl, please show your ID card, minors cannot enter."
Minors are not allowed in bars? She really didn't know. When she was a high school teacher in her previous life, she went to the bar and caught some students who skipped class and went to disco.
But no matter what Zhang Man said, the security wouldn't let in, so she had to give up.
The early winter in N City was very cold, not because the temperature was low, but because the wind was strong, and the dry and cold sea breeze made her cheeks hurt.
This is the case in seaside cities. The temperature difference between day and night is huge, and no one can bear the sea breeze at night.
Standing at the door and blowing the wind for a while, Zhang Man was still unwilling. It was only eight o'clock, and there were not many people in the bar. She sat on the steps of the back door, and wanted to wait for a while to take advantage of the chaos.
. …
Li Wei sat in the study, read the last page of the fourth section of Guang Xiang, stood up and went to the restaurant to pour himself a glass of water. He never had the habit of boiling water, and even in winter, he always bought pure water and put it in the refrigerator. The moment he opened the refrigerator door, the chill came out, making him shiver.
Suddenly he felt that the house was empty.
She was away all day today, and he stayed at home for a day by himself, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.
Since she came to his house on time every week to make up lessons and cook for him, it seemed like it had been a long time since he had been alone at home for so long.
Also, she didn't text him today.
He turned his phone to vibrate and put it in the chest pocket of his pajamas, but it didn't move all day.
The teenager took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, held the bottle with slender fingers, raised his head and took a sip of water.
He felt that it was necessary to ask her if she would come tomorrow.
Zhang Man was sitting at the door and was shivering when he suddenly received a call from Li Wei.
She wanted to ask him what was going on, but the signal at the door of the bar was not good, and there was a clear electric sound from the phone, she stood up and walked a little further.
The teenager heard a very loud car whistle on her side, as well as the hustle and bustle of people, she was outside. He frowned, raised his left hand and glanced at his watch, it was past eight o'clock.
He suddenly thought in his mind that she was blocked at the corner of the alley before, his heart suddenly tense at that moment, the whole person stood up from his seat, and took two steps forward anxiously, his voice was even lower: " Zhang Man, where are you?"
Zhang Man's hand stretched out from his sleeve to hold the mobile phone. After a while, he was frozen red, and the skin of the epidermis was in contact with the cold air, as if a fine needle was pricking: "I'm outside, what's wrong?"
When the boy heard her voice, his clenched palms quietly loosened: "It's okay."
Zhang Man looked at the door of the bar: "Hello, Li Wei? Let me ask you, do you know how minors can get in at the bar in N city? That bar is called "Ye Yu" and it's not far from your home."
"What are you doing there?"
The boy's voice was a little hard.
"I have to go in for something, but the security guard at the door just won't let me in."
This time the boy was quiet for a long time: "You wait for me at the door."
Zhang Man hung up the phone and continued to sit on the steps of the side door of the bar with her arms folded. The cold air kept her awake, and she curled up in a ball and rubbed her hands together to keep warm.
Fortunately, Li Wei didn't make her wait long.
The slender young man stands out in the crowd. He is standing across the road waiting for the traffic light. Behind him is the thick night and various light strips at the entrance of several bars.
He was wearing a thick coat, his hands were in his pockets, he looked warm, and his brows were slightly wrinkled the moment he saw her, as if he was blaming her for coming out alone at night.
This street is the famous bar street in N city, and every night starts a night life full of feasts and luxuries.
There are all kinds of pedestrians at the entrance of the bar, girls in fancy dresses, young people in neat suits, and sloppy resident singers holding guitars and beards... But the teenagers wear simple clothes, and in such a group of people, they are particularly conspicuous.
Zhang Man couldn't help but stare blankly.
The boy she likes is really good-looking. Even if she has known him for so long, every time she sees him for the first time, she still blushes involuntarily.
-"follow me."
The teenager crossed the road without saying much, turned around and walked towards the main entrance, said a word to the security guard at the door, and then turned around and waved to her.
Zhang Man followed behind him and entered the bar smoothly.
She was a little puzzled. Li Wei was also a minor and didn't look older than her. Why didn't the security guard stop him
But the top priority is not to struggle with this matter. Zhang Man grabbed Li Wei's sleeve and hid behind him, tilted his head to reveal only a pair of eyes, and looked for Zhang Huifang's figure everywhere.
In her previous life, except for the few times she caught students, she had never been to a nightclub, and sure enough... it was very noisy. There was a DJ on the stage playing dance music with prominent drums and clear rhythm. The same melody was repeated over and over again. The low-frequency music was deafening.
But the restless group of young people in the middle of the dance floor clearly didn't care.
As long as there is music, they can start partying.
Such hustle and bustle can give people the illusion that they are not alone. Just like alcohol, when you numb your mind, you don't have to think.
But not everyone danced, and many sat alone or with friends and ordered a few drinks.
It was very hot in the bar, so the two took off their jackets and sat down at a booth in the corner.
Zhang Man hid behind the boy, kept looking around, and soon found Zhang Huifang and Zheng Zhi at the bar. The two sat very close, drinking and chatting chatting and laughing.
Looking at their actions, she was familiar but not too close. She speculated in her mind that the two were probably still in an ambiguous stage at this time, and they had not confirmed their relationship.
So, how can you mess up the relationship between the two at this stage
Li Wei found that the girl hid behind him as soon as she entered the bar, kept sticking her head, frowned and looked serious.
He followed her gaze, and saw a mature and gentle woman, who was probably in her early thirties, and looked very beautiful.
Looking at the profile, it seems to be five or six points similar to her.
He wanted to ask her what she was doing at the bar. When he turned around, the sleeve of the knitted sweater rubbed against her protruding face, and the slight pressure caused her tender face to deform for a moment. He remembered the smooth and soft touch when he raised his hand to brush the dust off her face after the plaster was removed in the hospital.
The nerves on the fingers of the left hand seemed to have memory, and suddenly they were a little numb.
The girl clenched his sleeves tightly and kept staring at the bar, her expression indistinct, but her voice was a little anxious.
"Li Wei, look over there, the woman in the camel dress is me... Mom. The one next to her is her new boyfriend. He's not a good person. Can you find a way to break them up for me?"
She frowned, her mouth pouted slightly, and the flesh on her cheeks moved as she spoke.
- Looks good pinch.
The boy's eyes darkened, his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
"Hey, did you listen to me?"
Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhang Man repeated it again.
The young man came back to his senses, asked a few questions carefully, and thought of a way.
. …
Zhang Man listened to Li Wei's instructions and walked outside the bar to call Zhang Huifang.
Zhang Huifang was chatting with Zheng Zhi when she felt the vibration of the phone, picked it up and saw that it was Zhang Man. The bar was too noisy to answer the phone, so she said to Zheng Zhi, got up and went to the bathroom.
"Hey, Zhang Man? What's wrong?"
"Have you seen my physics book? I'll use it tomorrow, but I can't find it."
Zhang Huifang was a little strange: "Didn't you put all your books by yourself? I didn't see it. You look for it in the room."
"Then... where did you put that skirt you gave me that time? I might still be useful."
"In the lower left drawer of my closet, look."
"...I didn't find it, did you remember it wrong?"
"… "
Zhang Man, as he had said before, tried to delay as much time as possible.
When Zhang Huifang was a little impatient by her question, she hung up the phone, sneaked in, sat beside Li Wei, and looked in Zheng Zhi's direction.
She rubbed her eyes.
Zheng Zhi even flirted with a sexy woman dressed in coquettish fashion while Zhang Huifang was away. At this time, she laughed so hard that she twitched when she spoke, and even had to stick to Zheng Zhi's body.
Zheng Zhi was not idle either, he lightly wrapped his arms around her waist, and showed her a gentle smile, the eyes under the gold-rimmed eyes narrowed slightly.
Obviously, the woman who took the initiative to come forward is open to anyone.
Zhang Man secretly cried out in his heart.
No wonder Li Wei took out his wallet just now, and it turned out that he hired someone to chat up with Zheng Zhi.
Wonderful, Zheng Zhi and Zhang Huifang haven't been together yet. He is such a lustful person, and he meets a woman younger and more beautiful than her to take the initiative to hook up. How can he still care about Zhang Huifang.
Sure enough, Zhang Huifang saw this scene when she came back from the bathroom. She fluttered her long hair, stood silent for a while, and laughed softly. She stood there and laughed for a while, walked over, and now did not speak in front of the two of them.
The young girl glanced at her without caring at all, and continued to clink glasses with Zheng Zhi.
And Zheng Zhi was stunned for a moment when he saw her, and he didn't stop flirting with that young girl, pretending that he didn't know her at all, revealing his scumbag nature.
Zhang Huifang smiled at the girl, pulled her away, raised the wine glass gracefully, poured a glass of red wine on Zheng Zhi's disgusting face, then turned around and stepped on ten-centimeter high heels, tossed her hair, and picked up her bag dashingly Go outside the bar.
Zhang Man looked excited, clapped and applauded in his heart, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could hardly hold back. With Zhang Huifang's temperament, it's impossible to go back after such a mess.
As expected of Zhang Huifang, well done! She held her cheeks and felt a lot more relaxed. She didn't expect this matter to be solved so easily.
She didn't have time to look at Zheng Zhi, who was in a state of shock with his mouth open and was splashed with red wine. Instead, she tried to observe Zhang Huifang's back.
She walked very steadily, and she didn't seem too sad. Zhang Man is fortunate once again, fortunately, she found out early. If she really waited for Zhang Huifang to be with him and got into a deep trap, I'm afraid things wouldn't be so easy.
Maybe Zhang Man's eyes were too focused, Zhang Huifang seemed to feel it, and looked back in this direction.
Zhang Man glanced at her unexpectedly, was startled, and quickly turned to the side and hugged the young man sitting beside him, hugged tightly, and buried his face deeply in his arms.
It's like you can hide yourself.
She buried herself in his chest nervously and whispered, "Don't talk, look at the door, is my mother gone?"
Li Wei was stunned.
It was different from the time when she was crying in his arms, when he was busy comforting her and didn't pay much attention at all.
But this time, every nerve in his body was reminding him that she was in his arms now.
The girl's body temperature and heartbeat were very clearly conveyed to his chest through the thin knitted sweater. Her two hands were wrapped around his back, wrapping him tightly, and the two of them were close to each other without any gap.
The darkness around him sharpened his senses. The bar was so noisy, the dull drum beats and the screams and cheers of young men and women were deafening, but at this moment, the young man could clearly hear his own violent heartbeat.
"Boom, boom, boom...", as fast as the sound of the drum beats, his heart beats as fast.
His sense of smell was extremely sensitive at this moment, and he smelled the fragrance of her origin, as well as the fragrance of milk on her body.
Her body was so soft, hugging him so tightly against his hard chest, he felt a burst of boiling blood on his head, and his scalp began to tingle.
The nerve in the temple began to beat violently again, but this time it wasn't restless, but a feeling he couldn't describe. It seemed as if 10,000 ants had crawled over the top of his heart, gnawing at him, and it seemed that he could not be relieved without doing anything.
No matter how well-behaved people are, they will also have evil thoughts.
So he raised his hands, one behind her back and the other on the back of her head, pressing her closer to him.
It was not until he pressed her whole body into his arms and rested his chin on the top of her hair that the heart-wrenching itch in his heart was relieved a little.
The boy looked at the empty door of the bar, guided by the devil in his heart, and lied in a hoarse voice: "Don't move, she hasn't left yet."
- Naturally like a habitual offender.
