Chapter 24: Two Women Meet
When we were young, we used to fantasize about riding a fine horse across the prairie, and we also used to fantasize about grasping the sun, moon, stars, clouds, and rain. But none of these fantasies are real; what's real is what's in front of us. For Guo Ming, it's just the cold drink or fragrant tea in front of him. Outside, people come and go, busy with their own affairs. Among them are children filled with countless dreams for the future, middle-aged people who have been ground down by reality, and elderly people who lament the injustices of the world. But none of this prevents one thing: they all have things that need to be done in front of them.
Guo Ming's state of mind was slowly improving, but he himself didn't realize it. He fell into a confused and obscure epiphany, similar to the Buddhist concept of sudden enlightenment.
Shuǐ Mèng Yáo's thoughts were not calm, facing her classmates' doubts and puzzled expressions made her feel hot in the face, but could this be explained? She sat back in her seat with a huff, not saying a word, and her expression only further convinced her classmates that Shuǐ Mèng Yáo and Guō Míng were involved.
At this moment, a soft voice sounded, "Is Guo Ming here?" A teenage girl pushed open the door and asked weakly. Her delicate facial features and porcelain doll-like appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially the magnetic factor of women. Deputy class leader Chen Qing stepped forward and said softly, "Little sister, Guo Ming is not here, what can we do for you?"
"He's not here, sister. There's a senior student outside looking for him, saying it's something important. Can you get in touch with Guo Ming?" The little girl blinked her big eyes and said apologetically.
Chen Qing is also the beauty of the class, although not as good as Shui Mengyao, but absolutely not bad. Because she is sincere and optimistic, most students in the class get along well with her. Chen Qing heard this and smiled: "Little sister, which class are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Hehe, sister, I just transferred here. My name is Chen Yuanyuan," the little girl said in a low voice. She seemed to be very shy, and after just a few sentences, her face had already turned slightly red. Chen Qing pinched her cheek gently and said softly, "You're a first-year student, right? Which class are you in? Would you like it if sister came to play with you when I'm free?"
"Great, Chen Yuanyuan's eyes lit up with excitement. Fortunately, she didn't forget the purpose of this trip and pulled Chen Qing's hand forward, saying: 'Sister, that beautiful sister has been waiting over there all along?'"
Chen Qing followed Chen Yuanyuan to the outside, looking at the beautiful sister in Chen Yuanyuan's mouth. The girl was standing quietly at the bottom of the corridor, looking up at the classroom door with anticipation. Her long legs were wearing a light yellow velvet skirt, showing off her perfect figure. Her clear and bright eyes, curved eyebrows, and long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her white skin showed a faint pink glow. Her thin lips were as tender as rose petals. Chen Qing naturally knew who the other person was? Except for Chen Ziyu of the school's experimental class, there might not be anyone else who could be so beautiful that it moved people's hearts.
As a good Samaritan's unexpected discovery, more and more students rushed to the entrance, eager to see this rare sight. Chen Ziyu has always been driven by a dedicated car, so it was naturally difficult for them to catch a glimpse of Chen Ziyu. Today, Chen Ziyu obviously made an effort to dress up, making the originally radiant Chen Ziyu even more captivating.
Shui Mengyao couldn't help but be driven by curiosity, and also came to the window, looking out at Chen Ziyu, who happened to look in through the window as well. The two people's eyes met for an instant, and Shui Mengyao hastily dodged away. Although she didn't want to admit it, Shui Mengyao ultimately couldn't help but acknowledge that at this moment, Chen Ziyu had surpassed her by a hair.
Chen Ziyu's eyes also dodged, today's dress was completely to make Guo Ming lose his mind, so that she could get him to talk and dig out the forces behind him. Chen Ziyu was very clever, her conclusion was almost the same as Zhang Wenfeng's, the difference was that she took action earlier, such forces must be pulled to her side.
Unfortunately, her abacus was wrong, and Guo Ming was not in the classroom at all. As a result, her painstaking efforts were destined to become someone else's after-dinner conversation topic.
Chen Qing pulled Chen Yuanyuan's small hand and walked to the front of Chen Ziyu, smiling: "Ziyu, what do you want to find Guo Ming for? He's not here today, he left right after finishing his exam."
"Oh, who knows his phone number? I have something important to contact him about. Chen Ziyu suddenly remembered that her coming-of-age ceremony is tomorrow and if Guo Ming doesn't attend, all her happiness will be gone."
Chen Qing thought for a moment and nodded. "Wait a minute." She turned her head to look inside the window, and when she saw Shui Mengyao, she waved her hand and said, "Mengyao, come quickly."
Shui Mengyao had just thought of dodging, but Chen Qing's words had already been spoken. Under helplessness, she could only come out and arrive at the side of several people, looking straight at Chen Qing, "What's the matter?"
"Hehe, Ziyu is looking for Guo Ming about something important. Guo Ming is your neighbor, so you should know his phone number, right?" Chen Qing explained with a smile.
Obviously feeling the scorching gaze from Chen Ziyu's eyes, Water Dream Jade unexpectedly showed a hint of nervousness and jealousy. Under an inexplicable urge, she made her first mistake, looking at Chen Ziyu, shaking her head and forcing a laugh: "I'm not familiar with Guo Ming, so I don't know."
Chen Ziyu let out a disappointed "oh" and her eyes dimmed, holding onto a glimmer of hope: "Then how can I get in touch with him? I really have something very important."
"What's the big deal?" Chen Qing teased. She had a decent relationship with Chen Ziyu, and seeing her usually indifferent attitude towards men reveal such eagerness today piqued her curiosity.
"This is nothing," Zhen Zi Yu said with a wry smile.
Shui Mengyao's expression changed as she felt a surge of suspicion and acid intention in her heart, and she turned to leave.
"Zi Yu, you're really stupid. Why didn't you just go to Guo Ming's house with Meng Yao? Anyway, Guo Ming can't not come home at night, right?" Chen Qing said with a smile after rolling her eyes.
Chen Ziyu's eyes lit up and she became excited all of a sudden.
The sunset had fallen, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on Chen Ziyu's sacred face. From a distance, one could see her faint blush and a hint of shyness. On the contrary, everyone else saw that Shui Mengyao's originally spirited eyes had dimmed slightly.
The two first appeared in front of everyone like this, but the result seems to be that Shui Muyao is at a disadvantage. Is it temporary? Who can predict what will happen in the future?
Two girls riding bicycles walked through the streets and alleys towards Guo Ming's home, attracting passersby to glance at them sideways, whispering: "What a beautiful scene." When they stopped to look again, the other person had left only a faint fragrance.
Chen Ziyu was first frightened by Zhang Zihuan to the point of almost suffocating, but who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, a mysterious master appeared and saved the dying Zhang Zihuan. The mysterious person turned out to be Guo Ming, whom she had once defeated so badly that he was left with no choice but to retreat. Her heart began to beat uncontrollably.
Seeing the cold drink shop by the street, Chen Ziyu said softly to Shui Mengyao on one side: "Mengyao, let's go and have some."
Shui Mengyao also felt a bit thirsty and nodded slightly at his words.
The two locked up the car and were about to get in when Shui Mengyao's eyes suddenly widened, staring blankly at Guo Ming by the window.
