pen pal

11. "Mr. Zhou, did you ever have pen pals back then?"

How many dusty past events came to mind because of this short question.

Seeing that Zhou Ruxin didn't answer for a long time, the other party probably knew from He Jieying that Zhou Ruxin lived alone and had to be busy with everything, so he thought that he must be busy with something, so he sent a sentence: "I guess you are busy? It's the weekend, Pay attention to rest well."

Then there was no further message.

When Zhou Ruxin regained consciousness from the memory, seeing that the message sent by the other party was still more than ten minutes ago, she didn't know how to reply for a while.

It is obviously deceiving to say that I am busy according to the steps given by the other party. Frankly speaking that I am in a daze for nothing, but it seems to be too neglectful of the other party, which is a bit rude.

After thinking about it, I didn't say whether I was busy or not, but replied: "Well, I wrote letters to a pen pal named Qingqing in No. [-] Middle School for two years. Unfortunately, I have no contact with him since then, and I don't know where Qingqing is now?"

After sending out the message, Zhou Ruxin waited for a while, but did not receive a reply, presumably the other party was also busy.

She remembered that He Jieying had said a little bit about work. The nature of their work was special. When they were busy, they didn't have any concept of weekends. When they were not busy, they could leave work early without nagging.

Browsing through the circle of friends on WeChat, there are still a lot of "posting", Zhou Ruxin is not very interested in these, continue to look forward, accidentally found that "Qingxin" reposted He Jieying's article about "the changes of the years" in the circle of friends "'s picture message, with the text: Really!

what really?Is the change of time real?He even added an exclamation point, probably a sensual woman.

Zhou Ruxin clicked a thumbs up and checked, but there was still no message, so she quit WeChat and went to read the article.

"Exploring the Mausoleum of the Void" is really good-looking, Zhou Ruxin fell into it, and for a moment really forgot how time flies.

When the mobile phone rang, she had just seen people walking around the tomb of Princess Lu, and she didn't know what day and night it was.The person who called should be familiar with her habits, and the ringing has been ringing.

Zhou Ruxin came to her senses, picked up the phone and looked, it was a call from her good colleague Shen Yu.

As soon as the phone was connected, Shen Yu said over there: "Bookworm, you are reading again. I think your mobile phone is really going to be a display."

Zhou Ruxin smiled embarrassedly: "Well, what's the matter? Do you have any plans for today?"

Shen Yu said: "Ru Xin, you haven't had lunch yet, have you? Hey, stay in the room and read every day, be careful of mold, come out, and accompany me to the Wetland Park for a walk."

Zhou Ruxin thought, oops, I really forgot to eat lunch.On such a happy weekend, Shen Yu didn't accompany her boyfriend, but came to ask him to go out with her. Could it be that the two of them had a quarrel?

Zhou Ruxin is not very good at communication, and it is rare for Shen Yu to find a good colleague, so Zhou Ruxin immediately replied: "Okay, wait for me at the school gate in half an hour."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ruxin tidied up a little, looked at the phone, and most of the batteries, so she didn't bring a power bank, went downstairs, ate a bowl of rice noodles downstairs, and hurried to school, she always Don't like others waiting.

When she arrived at the gate of the school, there were only 2 minutes left in the half hour she said. Zhou Ruxin stood at the gate to catch her breath, and saw Shen Yu beckoning her over not far away.Shen Yu has always been punctual, and the concept of time is so consistent, it is no wonder that the two can become friends.

So the two walked slowly to the Wetland Park.Zhou Ruxin didn't talk much, but Shen Yu, who usually likes to talk, remained silent today.

The Wetland Park is very close to the school, and within a few steps, they arrived at the gate of the park.The construction of the park has not been completely completed, so there is no gate for the time being.The two walked in through the narrow passage, and there was a long gravel road inside. At the end of the gravel road, there was a small river running through the entire park. After the renovation, the water in the river was rare and clear.

The two walked slowly along the river, such silence was really unaccustomed.

"Ayu, did you quarrel?" Zhou Ruxin finally asked.

"It's not really a quarrel," Shen Yu sighed, "He has never said anything, and if he really wants to quarrel, he really can't quarrel. You know, we are going to get a certificate next month. Today we are talking about summer vacation Going back to his house is still my problem, and it turned out to be unpleasant."

Zhou Ruxin felt a little puzzled: "Anyway, the summer vacation is so long, can't both families go back?"

Shen Yu also felt depressed: "That's what I said too, but when I called home a while ago, my dad said that my mother was not in good health, so I wanted to go back to my house to accompany my mother to have a full body. Examination, but he said that since they have become husband and wife, he must go back to his house to report first, and he said that his parents have been looking forward to him taking his wife home for a long time, and my mother's body is also old. The inspection didn't have any effect, so I said something in a fit of anger, I haven't got the certificate yet, and it's not his family, but he got sulky as a result, as if I regretted it, alas, why is this man so small sometimes? childish!"

Zhou Ruxin felt that there is nothing to be angry about this kind of thing. They are going to be husband and wife. The two people come from different cities, and each has parents to take care of. Speechless.

However, as the saying goes, "Men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man." After all, she is not married yet. When these conflicts occur, it is estimated that Shen Yu will have some doubts about the future in her heart, which is also a normal reaction.

After thinking about it, Zhou Ruxin said: "He really cares about you, so if you say that, he will feel uncomfortable, so don't make trouble, call back and ask, and see if Mom is in a hurry. If If it's not that urgent, you can accompany him back to see his parents first, and then go home to check with his mother."

In fact, Shen Yu herself also thinks that this is better, but when she thinks that after two people get married, there must be many such choices in the future, and it is a bit disturbing to think about it. Alas, it would be great if it was just a relationship. Simple.Once a family is established, it becomes the life of two families, each with relatives and friends to take care of, which is a lot of trouble.

After thinking about it, Shen Yu couldn't help blurting out: "Hey, it's still Ruxin, how comfortable it is to be alone..."

Zhou Ruxin couldn't help chuckling: "You might as well say that a small bench can't die of hunger alone."

Shen Yu looked at Zhou Ruxin, she was really smiling.She turned her head and looked: "Hey, Ru Xin, look, isn't that the canna that blooms so beautifully over there?"

Zhou Ruxin knew that her friend was worried that she would be sad when she thought of her father again, so she would not let Shen Yu down. Let's bring Qingqing together, she must know more about biology than we do."

Uh, speaking of Qingqing, Zhou Ruxin immediately remembered that distant pen pal.

With the beautiful scenery in front of her, Shen Yu didn't bother to worry about it at the moment, and hurried to the river to admire the flowers slowly. Zhou Ruxin watched her start to take out her mobile phone to take pictures, tsk tsk, probably ready to post to Moments again.

Seeing that Shen Yu was busy taking pictures from various angles at the moment, and would probably have to retouch the pictures later, thinking that she had no time to take care of herself, Zhou Ruxin simply took out her mobile phone and logged on to WeChat to see if there was any reply.
