Du Yan pushed his bicycle and stood under a tree, as if waiting for someone.
Zhang Jing and Shi An were in the right positions, so that they would not be seen by Du Yan, and they could pay close attention to what was going on there. That's why the two chose this place unanimously, which led to the embarrassing situation now.
Fortunately, soon, someone came over there.
Zhang Jing no longer had time to feel embarrassed, but frowned slightly and looked at the girl who was walking towards Du Yan. He recognized the beautiful girl at a glance, it was indeed Zhao Yuqi in the third year of junior high school.
Zhang Jing quickly found out the relationship between Du Yan and Zhao Yuqi from his memory. They met at the inter-school basketball game, and they didn't have much contact after the end. Why did they suddenly come together.
Zhang Jing began to recall Du Yan's previous behavior, and he couldn't find anything wrong after tossing and turning. In short, it just doesn't look like a young boy with a budding heart at all, and it's no different from the bear child in the past.
"Follow." Shi An suddenly pulled Zhang Jing and said in a low voice.
Zhang Jing came back to his senses and saw that the two people in front had already started to walk away.
He and Shi An reached a strange tacit understanding at this time, following Du Yan at a very suitable distance. It will not be lost, nor will it be discovered by the other party.
Before walking far, Zhang Jing felt that something was wrong, because Du Yan was always pushing the car, and he didn't mean to use the car to carry people.
Although Du Yan is quite smug on weekdays, when he went to buy a bicycle in junior high school, he accidentally chose the one that could take people behind him.
At that time, Zhang Jing looked at Du Yan's same choice as himself, and the two of them said at the same time, "One day your car breaks down and I can just take you."
However, the quality of this bike is very good, and there has never been a need to carry people.
Zhang Jing only thought of this when he saw the two people in front of him stopped and seemed to be saying something. But the distance is too far to hear the content at all.
Shi An lowered his voice and said to Zhang Jing, "My mother's part-time job shop is right in front of me. I'm very familiar with this side, so I'll go around from there."
Shi An pointed to a corner: "It just happened to be blocked there. If you can't find it, do you want to go over there?"
Zhang Jing hesitated for a moment, and in his heart began to condemn himself for such a sneaky behavior, which was too unreliable.
Just when he was about to refuse, Zhang Jing saw Zhao Yuqi pointing at the back seat of the bicycle and said something shyly.
"Okay." Zhang Jing nodded decisively and agreed.
Shi An took Zhang Jing around through the back door, and the two found a good position. They were about to start eavesdropping when Du Yan said, "No, I don't think I can take you with your weight."
"… "
Zhang Jing never expected to hear such a sentence. He and Shi An looked at each other with mixed feelings, and felt more and more that Du Yan's puppy love was a little unreliable.
The two continued to walk forward, and Zhang Jing and Shi An hid for a while before trying to catch up.
Unexpectedly, Shi An happened to be seen by his mother before he walked a few steps.
"Shi An, why are you here?" Aunt Tan said, "I just happen to be too busy right now, so you can help me."
Shi An had no choice but to withdraw from the tracking plan halfway through and went to the store to help his mother, leaving only Zhang Jing behind Du Yan.
Along the way, nothing unexpected happened. Du Yan and Zhao Yuqi did not have any intimate behavior at all. The two were just like ordinary friends, talking and laughing all the way home.
Until Du Yan brought Zhao Yuqi to her door, he just waved his hand, and the two of them didn't even hold hands during the whole process.
Zhang Jing followed behind Du Yan, watching the man in front walking towards his house, unable to tell what he was feeling.
When he saw that Du Yan didn't have any intimate actions with that Zhao Yuqi, the bad mood in his heart dissipated a lot, but he thought of a farther place.
One day, Du Yan will have a girlfriend. He will hold a girl's hand and walk up to him intimately and introduce him, Zhang Jing is my girlfriend. In the future, I will even marry a woman and have children, start a family, and become the most important person in our lives.
And he, Zhang Jing, is just Du Yan's best friend. The world between them will get further and further apart, and more and more things will happen to each other.
This is the first time the young Zhang Jing has a sense of crisis about growing up. In the previous years, he has been impatient to grow up, because only when he grows up can he fully grasp his life.
Zhang Jing was so worried that he didn't even notice that he had walked to the door of the house.
He was still immersed in his own thoughts, and was suddenly grabbed by someone. Zhang Jing suddenly returned to his senses and found that the person in front of him turned out to be Du Yan.
Du Yan's face was not very good-looking, he looked at Zhang Jing and said, "What did you want to do with me all the way?"
Zhang Jing also subconsciously wanted to deny: "No..."
Du Yan said directly: "I have seen you for a long time, but I just don't want to expose you. We have been friends for so many years, there is no need to say that there are some things."
Zhang Jing sighed and didn't deny it again: "I am just worried about your puppy love."
Du Yan may have been annoyed by Zhang Jing's stalking behavior, and he was a little unwilling to say: "What if I fall in love early?"
Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment. After hearing Du Yan's words that were similar to an admission, his mind seemed to be swept by a gust of wind, and it was blown into a mess. He had no ability to think at all.
Zhang Jing spoke out of instinct, and subconsciously repeated the conversation a year ago: "It will affect learning, and you also know that high school depends on the results of the high school entrance examination..."
Du Yan interrupted Zhang Jing and said, "I said I'm not a child now, and my self-control is not as bad as you think. If my early love doesn't affect my studies, wouldn't you stop interfering?"
Today's Zhang Jing has no ability to think at all. He was immediately stopped by Du Yan's question, and he fell silent and did not speak again.
"Your behavior today makes me very unhappy."
Du Yan glanced at Zhang Jing, and after leaving those words, he turned around and walked into the yard.
This pair of childhood best friends actually started a cold war for a while because of this.
Even a few days ago, Du Yan asked to act alone after school, and he was still with Zhang Jing and Shi An during school. However, the day after this happened, when Zhang Jing went to Du Yan's house to call him again, he was told that Du Yan had already left.
Zhang Jing stood at the door of Du Yan's house, knowing that the other party was probably really angry this time. After confirming that Du Yan was angry, Zhang Jing did not rashly go to Du Yan again.
Because he felt that if he went to Du Yan before he could reflect on himself and express enough sincerity in apology, the other party would probably only be more angry.
What's more, Zhang Jing also felt that he had not fully accepted the fact that Du Yan was in a puppy love, and if he went to Du Yan rashly, the final result could only be an unhappy break up.
A few days have passed since this reflection.
Zhang Jing finally reluctantly accepted the fact that Du Yan might be in a relationship, no matter what he thought in his heart, if he wanted to continue his friendship with Du Yan, he had to accept it.
On this basis, Zhang Jing reflected on it carefully and felt that what he had done was indeed a bit excessive.
Even if he really wanted to know if Du Yan was in love, he shouldn't follow him secretly, but he should have a good talk with Du Yan.
He believed that his friendship with Du Yan for so many years, the other party would definitely find an opportunity to tell him, but he dealt with it in the worst way.
Therefore, it is natural for Du Yan to be angry. It is himself who is at fault, not the other party.
Zhang Jing thought for a while, but still wrote all his thoughts on a piece of letter paper. He was worried that Du Yan would not see him or have a good talk with him, so he could only communicate in this way.
***
Du Yan squatted in the yard, playing with the bicycle he rode to school.
When Grandpa Du saw it in the room, he raised his voice and asked, "Xiaoyan? Did your car break down, do you want Grandpa to help?"
"No, no." Du Yan repeatedly refused, "I just got some new stickers and changed the car's clothes."
He didn't dare to let his grandfather come out and see what he did, because Du Yan was not repairing the car at all. The quality of his bike is very good, and he has ridden it for over a year without any problems.
However, now Du Yan is just worried that the car is fine, and is trying to find a way to make a small problem.
Du Yan is not crazy, he did this to rebuild the bridge of friendship.
In fact, after quarreling with Zhang Jing that day, Du Yan regretted it when he entered the door.
He is usually not like this character, but in the dream world, the character and blood power are really too powerful, Du Yan is now a teenager in his middle school.
So when I found out that I was being followed by Zhang Jing, that kind of inexplicable self-esteem that belonged to a second-year-old boy came to my mind, and there was even a guilty conscience of being caught for doing something wrong.
With all kinds of emotions intertwined, Du Yan scolded Zhang Jing indiscriminately. The next day, he even went out to school without waiting for Zhang Jing because of his guilty conscience and embarrassment after the quarrel.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jing did not come to him again after that, and the two fell into a strange state of cold war.
After Du Yan calmed down completely, he couldn't open his mouth to admit his mistake and ask Zhang Jing for peace, so he could only think of a way to ease the relationship between them.
Du Yan's method is to break his bicycle, and then he can confidently ask Zhang Jingzai to go to school the next day. After all, when I bought a bicycle, it was agreed that if the bicycle broke down, another person would take him to school.
Du Yan scratched his head and thought for a while, then decisively turned over a saw blade from his grandfather's toolbox, sat there and started to thwart the chain of the bicycle.
Just as he was struggling to break the chain in half, a paper airplane floated down and just stopped at his feet.
Du Yan picked up the paper plane and found that there were familiar handwriting on it. He subconsciously looked towards the wall, but saw no one.
Du Yan lowered his head, curled his lips and scolded, "Awkward little old man."
After speaking, he couldn't help but smiled softly, and then opened the paper airplane.
The more he looked, the more unable to hide the smile on Du Yan's face. After reading the last line of words, Du Yan's eyes had already turned into a smile.
He raised his head and shouted, "Zhang Xiaojing, come out for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jing's figure appeared from the other side of the wall. He looked at Du Yan with a little unease on his face.
Du Yan raised the letter in his hand and said, "I have to frame this well and hang it on the bedside to observe every day. I don't know how many guarantees I have made in front of you over the years. This is the first time you have written a letter of repentance."
Zhang Jing looked at Du Yan's smug expression, touched his nose, looked a little embarrassed, but still said, "If you want to keep it, keep it, I don't care."
Du Yan looked at Zhang Jing and said with a smile, "Okay. When you become a social elite and a successful person in the future, I will expose your dark history."
Zhang Jing finally couldn't help laughing when he saw Du Yan's smiling face as always.
One of the two was clinging to the wall, and the other was standing in the yard looking at each other and giggling.
The moonlight was just right, the wind was gentle, and there was only the sound of babbling singing from Grandpa Du's radio in the house.
After an unknown time, Grandpa Du's voice came from the house: "Xiaoyan, are you ready?"
Du Yan came back to his senses: "Ah, okay, I'll come in right away."
Zhang Jing asked with some apprehension, "Tomorrow morning, shall I ask you to go to school together?"
Du Yan kicked the bicycle and replied, "Not only do you have to send me to school, but you also have to take me to school. This thing probably won't be able to ride tomorrow."
"Why did your car break down?" Zhang Jing asked.
Du Yan glared at him a little unhappily: "Why is it broken, it's all your fault!"
"Ah?" Zhang Jing looked blank, but said subconsciously, "I'm sorry. It's my fault, I'll take you to school tomorrow."
