Rebirth of Merry Career

At the end of June 1997, the day of Hong Kong's return to the motherland was approaching in the long-awaited days. All over the country and various cities spontaneously organized various celebration activities, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.

After school that day, Zhou Jing and Yao Bin had just walked out of the school gate when they saw a group of students walking forward with a smile on the side street, waving small national flags in their hands, led by several teachers.

With sharp eyes, Yao Bin pointed with his hand and said softly, "Look, the little beauty is also inside."

Zhou Jing followed his line of sight and saw the slender figure, and said with a smile, "This kind of activity naturally cannot do without her."

Yao Bin nodded, winked and said: "Yes, wherever she goes, those boys will follow her, Zhou Jing, you have to watch closely!"

Zhou Jing glared at him, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, the relationship between the two of us is not what you think at all!"

"You still don't admit it?" Yao Bin touched his chin, and said sourly: "Recently, many girls are spreading rumors that Qi Qingning likes you."

Zhou Jing smiled, shook his head and said, "Don't believe that there is no shadow."

While talking, Qi Qingning also saw the two of them. She stood on her tiptoes, waved her hand, and left the team. She ran over like a cheerful deer, handed over two small national flags, and said with a smile on her face, "Since we met Let’s go together, it’s fun!”

"Okay, okay, class representative, let's go together." Yao Bin nodded repeatedly, gave Zhou Jing an ambiguous look, and ran away knowingly.

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and said softly, "This kid runs really fast."

Qi Qingning blushed a little, fiddled with the ponytail with her hands, and said evasively: "Maybe he misunderstood?"

"Misunderstanding?" Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, then asked in puzzlement, "What is the misunderstanding?"

Qi Qingning was a little disappointed, pouted her small mouth, and said resentfully: "It's nothing, let's go quickly, don't be left behind too far."

"Alright." Zhou Jingting nodded, holding a small national flag in his hand, and followed her unhurriedly.

Qi Qingning put her little hand behind her back, a sly smile flashed across that innocent and lovely face, and she whispered: "Zhou Jing, do you know that, in fact, Yao Bin is very smart."

Zhou Jing smiled, shook his head and said, "I really don't see it. After memorizing a text for three days, I still stumble."

Qi Qingning tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm not talking about this aspect."

Zhou Jing was slightly taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Which aspect is that?"

Qi Qingning stretched out her greasy index finger, nodded her lips, and said playfully, "It has nothing to do with studying anyway."

Zhou Jing smiled and said softly, "I thought you were only interested in learning things!"

Qi Qingning raised two delicate eyebrows, and muttered in a low voice: "That's because you don't know me, maybe, you're not interested in knowing me at all."

Zhou Jing was a little surprised, stopped in his tracks, and said puzzledly, "Why do you say that?"

Qi Qingning bit her lip and said sullenly, "Otherwise, last weekend, why didn't you go to the park together, causing me to be ridiculed by them, really embarrassing."

Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and with a sweet heart, he asked tentatively, "How was your play that day?"

Qi Qingning shook her head lightly, and said distressedly: "I didn't go, I stayed at home with grandma, it's so boring."

Zhou Jing smiled, rubbed his nose and said, "Actually, I don't like to go out very much on weekends, I just like to sleep in at home."

Qi Qingning stuck out her little tongue, and said shyly: "We are the same, every weekend, my grandma has to call me several times before I can get up, in her eyes, I am just a little lazy cat who loves the bed. "

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, touched his nose and said, "You and grandma have a very deep relationship."

"Hey, how do you know?" Qi Qingning turned around, looked at Zhou Jing curiously, and walked backwards.

Zhou Jing smiled and said softly, "Of course, you mentioned her twice before we said a few words."

Qi Qingning nodded and said with a smile: "In this world, besides mother and sister, grandma is the one who loves me the most."

Seeing the sewer not far behind her without a manhole cover, Zhou Jing quickly stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and said with a soft smile, "Be careful, watch the way."

Qi Qingning glanced back, her cheeks were a little hot, and she blushed and said, "It's okay."

Zhou Jing withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "It's not easy to be a flower protector. If you really fall in, maybe a group of boys will rush over and fight me desperately."

Qi Qingning smiled 'puchi', turned sideways, and said coyly: "Well, Yang Wenhao didn't come to trouble you again?"

Zhou Jing shook his head lightly, and said with a smile, "No, it's been very peaceful the past few days."

Qi Qingning breathed a sigh of relief, and said with relief: "These days, I have been very worried, afraid that you will fight again."

"How could it be?" Zhou Jing laughed at himself, and said softly, "I don't like the feeling of jealousy."

Qi Qingning blushed, tossed her ponytail, and muttered in a low voice, "Who cares so much!"

Zhou Jing couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "It can be seen that he likes you very much, otherwise, he would not have made such a move!"

Qi Qingning snorted, frowned, shook her head and said, "But I don't like him, I don't feel that at all."

Zhou Jing smiled and asked curiously, "How does it feel?"

Qi Qingning pursed her lips and smiled, but did not speak. After a while, she raised her head and said shyly, "Zhou Jing, when you are free some other day, teach me some self-defense techniques, okay?"

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Okay, but you are weak, so it may not be effective if you learn it!"

Qi Qingning stuck out her tongue and said with a light smile, "It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to teach."

"How is the tuition fee calculated?" Zhou Jing turned his head and deliberately teased her.

Qi Qingning blinked her eyes, and said with a half-smile: "How about a cold drink, please?"

Zhou Jing nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."

Qi Qingning pursed her lips into a smile, showing her beautiful white teeth, and said softly, "However, we have to wait until the task is completed."

Zhou Jing froze for a moment, then asked curiously, "What mission?"

Qi Qingning put her hands behind her back, and said playfully: "I organized this event, and it will not end until everyone passes through several main streets and arrives at the square, where the TV station records it."

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and teased softly: "I'm almost graduating, haven't you been enough cadres yet?"

Qi Qingning nodded with a smile, and said leisurely: "Yes, I really like organizing such activities."

Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "So, you have some talent for politics."

"Politics? I never thought about it." Qi Qingning stopped, turned to look at Zhou Jing, and said seriously: "Zhou Jing, which university are you going to apply for?"

Zhou Jing looked into the distance and said softly, "Jianghai University, what about you?"

Qi Qingning stroked her ponytail, and said with some distress: "I haven't thought about it, I have to listen to my mother's advice."

Zhou Jing frowned, and suddenly said, "Your mother works in the southeast province, right?"

Qi Qingning was stunned, and said in surprise, "How do you know?"

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and hurriedly covered it up: "You're guessing, I heard you speak, and you have an accent from there."

Qi Qingning pursed her lips, and said resentfully, "Well, my Mandarin must be terrible."

Zhou Jing waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, I really like listening to you. It's very nice, just like the cry of a lark."

Qi Qingning opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, "Really?"

Zhou Jing nodded with a smile, and said softly, "Of course."

Qi Qingning giggled, stuck out her little tongue, and said with a smile: "I won't talk to you for now. I'll go to the front and discuss things with the teacher. Remember to wait for me when it's over."

After finishing speaking, she took a meaningful look at Zhou Jing, then trotted to the front of the team, and chatted with the teacher who led the team.

"The shy look is quite cute." Zhou Jing smiled, and his mood became extremely happy.

"Hey, Zhou Jing, what are you laughing at?" Yao Bin leaned over and said mysteriously, "We had a good chat just now?"

Zhou Jing withdrew his gaze and said softly, "It's okay, why, are you jealous?"

"A little bit." Yao Bin smacked his mouth and said enviously: "Although I have seen it for a long time, I didn't expect that your progress will be so fast!"

Zhou Jing smiled, shook his head and said, "Fatty Yao, don't talk nonsense."

Yao Bin laughed, and said ambiguously: "It's useless not to admit it, even the blind can see it."

Zhou Jing frowned, and said softly, "What do you mean?"

Yao Bin snorted, and said resentfully: "Isn't that obvious? She likes you, otherwise, why would she take the initiative to strike up a conversation over and over again? It's a show of love, understand?"

Zhou Jing smiled, shook his head and said, "Don't tell me, I really don't understand."

Yao Bin rolled his eyes, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Well, let's make a bet, within five minutes, the little beauty will definitely look back at you."

"Okay, I don't believe in this evil!" Zhou Jingting nodded, took out ten yuan from his pocket, shook it, and said with a smile: "If you can win, you can take it."

Yao Bin snatched the money, kissed it, put it in his pocket, and said triumphantly, "Thank you, this time buddy is sure to win!"

"Fatty Yao, don't be too happy..." Before he finished speaking, Zhou Jing suddenly noticed that Qi Qingning turned his head and looked over, with a sweet smile on his face, he was speechless immediately.

"How?" Yao Bin caught the evidence, and said with a smile: "It's a rare thing to be successful in love and frustrated in the casino!"

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and said softly: "Take care of your big mouth, and don't show it around."

"Don't worry, the ten yuan is just a hush money!" Yao Bin nodded, smiled mysteriously, and ran away happily.

"This kid is really smart, and he guessed it right!" Zhou Jing smiled and shook his head, waving the small national flag as well, followed the team, crossed the road, came to the square, and joined the teams from other schools.

The square was lively for a while, and after the TV show was filmed, the students dispersed. Qi Qingning and Zhou Jing came to the cold drink shop on the west side of the square, sat near the window, and ordered two ice creams and some desserts.

Qi Qingning's eating movements are delicate and a little shy. When the mouth is opened, the teeth can hardly be seen.

Zhou Jing's eyes fell on her slender and white fingers, and he was immediately attracted. He only felt that those sharp fingers, as fresh as green onions, and nails like cardamom, were even more lovable.

Qi Qingning blushed a little, turned her head, looked out the window, and whispered, "Zhou Jing, have you ever been to the southeastern provinces before?"

Zhou Jing shook his head lightly, smiled and said, "No."

Qi Qingning frowned, and said puzzledly: "Then how can you guess that I have an accent over there?"

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, ate a mouthful of ice cream, and said casually: "After watching the TV show, I thought the accent there was more interesting, so I paid attention to it."

Qi Qingning said 'hmm', but didn't say anything, she sipped the ice cream, looking absent-minded.

Zhou Jing looked at her quietly, and said with a smile, "What, do you have something on your mind?"

Qi Qingning smiled, then tightened her face, and said worriedly: "No, I was just thinking that after the college entrance examination, I will go to my mother's place. At that time, I don't know if we can meet again."

Zhou Jing's heart trembled slightly, and he blurted out: "Of course, I will go to see you if I have the chance."

Qi Qingning was overjoyed, her little face turned even redder, and she said coyly, "Okay, that's a deal, remember to call when the time comes, and I'll pick you up at the station."

"It's a deal." Zhou Jing smiled and nodded, his eyes fell on her flushed cheeks, and his heart was sweet.

Qi Qingning felt a little embarrassed, turned her head, pouted her mouth, and said angrily, "What are you looking at?"

Zhou Jing was overjoyed, and deliberately teased her: "Of course I'm looking at the little beauty!"

Qi Qingning gave a 'puchi' smile, stretched out her slender little finger, picked up some ice cream, wiped it on the bridge of Zhou Jing's nose, and said with a light smile, "It's so pretty!"

"Okay, then try it?" Zhou Jing picked up the ice cream, stood up, and prepared to do the same.

"No, it's so annoying!" Qi Qingning exclaimed, and ran away with a smile.
