Chapter 25

Xiaoya received a call at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and arranged itinerary for Zhao Lei. She went home to take a shower, changed into a strap skirt, and reached the park gate. Looking at the watch, it was less than 3 o'clock. She thought that if Zhao Lei went well at this time, she should have just gotten on the bus. After all, it would take two hours to go to the station, buy a ticket, and get in the station and take a bus.

But as soon as she walked to the gate of People's Park, she heard a voice behind her shouting: Xiaoya!

She turned around and saw Zhao Lei coming out of a taxi with a Shanghai license plate. She was surprised and happy. This guy came so quickly!

How could it be unhappy? Zhao Lei hung up the phone and rushed downstairs, blocked a car, and said first: Go to Shanghai Station! After driving for a few minutes, he changed his mind and told the driver: Go to Suzhou, People's Park!

He has been restraining his longing for Xiaoya for the past year and has been lying on books, just to fulfill his promise to her. Now, he is about to see Xiaoya, and he has to queue up to buy tickets and wait for the station to get on the bus? Let's get it down. Not to mention the fare is only more than 200 yuan, or even more than 2,000 yuan, he will not frown!

A year and a half have passed. Zhao Lei in front of Xiaoya was wearing a blue striped shirt with a hem hanging outside, gray wash cloth jeans, with long hair that was considered very fashionable at the time, somewhat like the Japanese movie star Takashi Aomachi. The circle of fluff on his lips had been shaved cleanly, and his whole body had completely changed from a big boy to a man. There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. Looking at that mouth, Xiaoya couldn't help but think of the passionate kiss on New Year's Eve in 1996. Her heartbeats faster, and a blush surged on her face.

Zhao Lei was also looking at her in a daze.

Xiaoya is no longer the charming top lady a year and a half ago. She seems to be back in her school days, wearing a ponytail and a strap skirt. She has no makeup on her face. Because the weather is very hot, she has been walking along the way, so thin beads of sweat emerge from the tip of her petite nose, shining brightly in the sun.

He rushed up and hugged Xiaoya tightly in his arms.

Xiaoya was a little breathless when she was hugged by him, but she also liked this thick feeling very much. It was so real, exactly the same as the scenes she dreamed of countless times at night. She pressed her face against Zhao Lei's chest and heard the heart beating vigorously. This time, there was no more sadness, no more blood, only happiness and excitement.

After a long time, Xiaoya said softly: Let’s find a place to sit.

The two of them found a shaded place in the People's Park and sat down leaning against each other.

Zhao Lei asked: How have you been doing in the past year?

Xiaoya said: It's pretty good.

After thinking about it, she simply told Zhao Lei about Liu Jiaming because she felt that there was nothing to hide. Moreover, she just wanted to win time for herself to study, and even showed Zhao Lei his ID card as a Suzhou native.

Zhao Lei understood that Xiaoya's identity is what adults usually call "miss wife". After the last blow, Xiaoya's current state is much more acceptable to him, but he still asked a little jealous: Do you have any feelings for him?

Xiaoya's answer was exactly the same as what she said to Pan Lina: Haha, it's just business, exchange.

Zhao Lei couldn't help asking, "Don't you have some savings now, why not be a clean student?"

Xiaoya said: I don’t know, maybe I still need money!

In fact, Xiaoya herself did not feel that at least now, she is still an 18-year-old girl, without a home or a relative. If she really wanted to leave a man completely, her tender shoulders could not bear the responsibility of a family. Although she did not love or even like Liu Jiaming, she subconsciously needed this man and the home that this man had placed for her. At least in this year, she no longer felt the loneliness of having no place to live and homeless. She was Liu Jiaming's woman. She agreed with this identity in her heart, so that she could pursue her dream more persistently and firmly.

She needs this transition period, and one day she will be completely independent and return to her original state, but not now.

So when she finally left Liu Jiaming, she cried very sadly because she found that she actually loved this old man very much, but she had never noticed it in the past three years.

Zhao Lei did not ask any further, he knew that Xiaoya must have her difficulties.

Xiaoya invited Zhao Lei to have hot pot for dinner. Both of them were sweating profusely and drank two bottles of beer. Xiaoya helped Zhao Lei book a room. It was too tired to go to Shanghai again in the evening.

After entering the room, the two of them talked about Haitian, Hu Didi Shen for a while, and then started talking about learning matters. Zhao Lei asked Xiaoya: How many years are you, an auditor, going to listen to?

Xiaoya said she didn’t think about it, so she just learned this first!

Zhao Lei asked: Is it possible that your man gets you a high school diploma? Can you take the college entrance examination? Since you want to go to school, you have to take a serious path!

Xiaoya scratched her head and said that I had never thought about this before. I'll ask him when I go back.

Zhao Lei also said that he was applying for the Department of Economics at Peking University, and he hoped to become the second economics master like Adam Smith or Keynes. Xiaoya smiled and told him that he should not know me, Wu Xiaoya, then!

Zhao Lei said how is that possible? I will never forget you in my life.

Xiaoya just laughed.

Zhao Lei looked at Xiaoya with such a beautiful smile, and couldn't help but pounce on her and kissed her.

Xiaoya kissed him back very positively and enthusiastically, and the two of them were panting.

Zhao Lei couldn't help but put his hand on Xiaoya's chest. The soft and upright feeling made him react suddenly, but just when he wanted to make further moves, Xiaoya suddenly grabbed her hand.

Xiaoya! Zhao Lei shouted softly: I want you!

No! Xiaoya's eyes once again showed a firmness that made Zhao Lei dare not bargain. He pulled his hand back in disappointment, but his face was filled with doubt.

Xiaoya sat up, held his face gently, and said to him with pity: Dear, it's really not possible.

Zhao Lei asked: Why?

Xiaoya said: I have a promise to him, but it is not mainly because of this.

Zhao Lei said: Didn’t you let me sleep with you at that time?

Xiaoya smiled. She remembered Zhao Lei's angry look when he saw her take off her clothes that day, and joked: Yes, who told you not to seize the opportunity at that time?

In fact, Xiaoya knew in her heart that if Zhao Lei had really done it with her that day, she would never continue to love this boy so deeply. Sometimes people are so strange. The most beautiful ones are often not obtained.

Zhao Lei asked unwillingly: Is it still too late to want it now?

Xiaoya said: If I want to give it to you, it will be fine at any time. But, okay not to do this?

Zhao Lei asked: Why, those stinky men can have you, but I can’t!
