1987 My Era

Chapter 166, Future and Past, Unexpected (Subscribe!)
1981, April 11.

She was in the first grade of junior high school that year, and the weather was already very cold. Early in the morning, Xiao Han dressed up beautifully and put on the latest winter coat her family had bought.

While standing on the roadside waiting, I met a childhood friend from the same village.

The little question: "Who are you waiting for?"

Xiao Han said: "Waiting for Yang Yingwen."

Just as her childhood friend was about to say something, he suddenly stared at her back and whispered in her ear, "Look, Li Heng from your class is here. He's so handsome!"

Xiao Han really didn't want to turn around and look at Li Heng at this time, because she knew that as long as Li Heng appeared, Chen Zijin would definitely be there too, which made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

However, Li Heng was too eye-catching, and she didn't want to act too aggressive in front of her childhood friend, so she finally turned around and followed the crowd. After just one glance, she couldn't take her eyes off him.

At that time, Li Heng was not dressed very well. He wore an old Zhongshan suit, his pants were still a little wrinkled, and Liberation shoes. But he was tall and clean. The warm winter sun cast a faint glow on him, and he was as handsome as Pan An, the handsome man in the book. Anyway, she found herself at a loss for words and could not use exact words to describe the powerful impact he had formed in her heart.

If she could regret anything in her life, she hoped it would be the day when they first met in the first year of the new year. No matter that he had quarreled with her twice or that he had a girlfriend, it could not stop him from seducing her heart.

He came, and was indeed with Chen Zijin.

When Chen Zijin came to her, he gave her a banana, and Xiao Han politely said thank you. But in the blink of an eye, Chen Zijin fed her a banana that had been bitten twice. In an instant, she felt particularly disgusted with the banana in her hand.

That day, Xiao Han, Yang Yingwen, Xiao Feng, Chen Zijin and Li Heng, five of them, made an appointment to climb the back mountain of the junior high school.

Along the way, everyone was talking and laughing. But Li Heng and Chen Zijin were particularly close, not only holding hands in front of the three of them, but also when crossing a stream, he hugged Chen Zijin and held her chest with his hands.

At that moment, Xiao Han's heart was filled with inexplicable sadness and indignation. He wanted to pick up a stone and throw the two of them down. Go! Go! Flow far away with the stream, flow into the sea to feed the fish!
Later, when they climbed to the top of the mountain, Li Heng picked some wild kiwis and gave her one specially. The moment Xiao Han took the kiwi, she felt flustered for some reason. Her ears turned red and her face felt hot. She took the kiwi and pretended to be calm while hiding on the other side of the rock wall, fearing that someone would notice her abnormality.

Why isn't he a real gangster? A gangster who doesn't read and has no skills? Or, is he extremely ugly, and as wretched as Zhang Zhiyong, sloppy, smelly, with greasy hair and dandruff?
If that were the case, everything would be much simpler.

After the walnut, he continued to be close to Chen Zijin. Xiao Han saw it and remembered it in his heart. When they sat together, he had to pretend to chat with the couple indifferently. Although they didn't talk much, the emptiness and loss in his heart expanded infinitely and magnified infinitely that day!
After that day, she found herself thinking of this person every day inadvertently. She remembered how he handed her the kiwi, and his face became clearer and clearer in her mind day by day.

Sometimes, even in the dead of night, she would involuntarily call out his name in a whisper - Li Heng.

I fell in love with him.

Very helpless, but very sure.

Every time she met him alone in the corridor or on the playground, she would feel inexplicably nervous, but after passing by him, she would feel secretly happy and giggle. If he won a fight at the school gate, she would be happy for him; if he lost, she would be heartbroken and even sadder than him. If he got full marks in math and received a certificate, she would be secretly happy; if he couldn't answer the English teacher's questions, she would be anxious, and she really wanted to tell this idiot how to answer and what to do.
This kind of love is the first time in her life.

So much so that when Yang Yingwen refused to answer Li Heng's English questions, ridiculed him, and when the classmates around him laughed loudly, she felt very sad, and mixed with a little resentment towards Yang Yingwen. Why did he make things difficult for her? Why did he look down on her? He was someone I liked.

Fearing that his self-esteem would be damaged, she ignored the strangeness of the people around her and helped him solve the problem, repeatedly telling him how to use "dicede to" and how to use words and sentences, patiently drawing inferences from one example and integrating it into his understanding until he could do it.

Afterwards, Yang Yingwen asked him about this matter: "What happened to you today? Why did you help such a scoundrel?"

She wanted to yell at her friend: "He's not a jerk! No! You are not allowed to call him a jerk!"

This love made her pay special attention to Li Heng, and her heart gradually changed. She slowly began to provoke Chen Zijin on some trivial issues, began to be jealous of Chen Zijin, and began to deliberately hold opposite opinions from Chen Zijin.

Sometimes, even though they were trivial matters, she and Chen Zijin were just stubborn and refused to admit defeat. Whenever Li Heng helped Chen Zijin to criticize her, she would feel so heartbroken that she would suffocate and want to cry. She would pinch her thighs hard through her clothes, leaving red marks.

Why? Why did I fall in love with him? How humble.

This tireless love, once started, will never end. In the blink of an eye, six years have passed. Gradually, she has learned to be scheming and silent from a lively girl. Her heart is no longer colorful, but filled with wind, snow and loneliness.

But later, she didn't expect that Chen Zijin, a sophomore, would leave Shao City...

Unexpectedly, since the beginning of last semester, Li Heng suddenly became concerned about me and spoke to me in a sweet voice more often than in the past five years.

Unexpectedly, he did not go to Beijing to attend university, but came to Shanghai with me.

Oh my God! Do you know how much she wanted to cry when she found out that Li Heng was admitted to Fudan University? Do you know how happy she was?

Cry because he didn't get into Peking University, or cry because he didn't get into Peking University. The only difference is that the former is because she is sad for him, while the latter is because she is excited. See, it is so contradictory, but it is her true heart.

At this moment, she felt like a little person with flesh and blood.

What I didn't expect was that he started pursuing me. This pace became faster and more frequent after the college entrance examination, to the point that today, when he boldly hugged me and kissed me, it still felt unreal and like a dream!
Matchmaker, have you finally opened your eyes and tied the red string to yourself?
I really want to build a ladder to the clouds to say thank you to you, even though her heart is still pounding!
...

"Xiao Han."

Just as Xiao Han was immersed in the sadness of the past and the sweetness of today, a voice came from not far away. Turning around, he saw it was his high school classmate Zhang Haiyan.

Zhang Haiyan came over with a kettle, "Xiao Han, what's wrong with you? Are you crying secretly?"

Xiao Han forced out a half-hearted smile: "I'm not crying. I just thought of something and was excited."

Zhang Haiyan took two steps closer and asked with concern: "Did something happen? Did you really not cry?"

Xiao Han smiled and shook his head, then looked back the way he came.

Noticing something strange, Zhang Haiyan turned around and looked over, and was immediately surprised, "Ah! Li Heng?"

Li Heng came up to him in two or three steps and said, "Comrade Zhang Haiyan, long time no see."

Zhang Haiyan asked happily: "Do you know my name?"

"Look at what you said. We took exams three times in the same examination room in our first year of high school. How could you not know?" Li Heng said.

"You have a really good memory! You can remember things from such a long time ago." Zhang Haiyan asked happily: "Are you here to look for Xiao Han?"

Li Heng grabbed Xiao Han's hand, secretly drew a heart on her palm, and said, "She is my girlfriend."

"what?"

Although she had heard rumors that goddess Xiao Han already had a boyfriend, Zhang Haiyan had never thought of Li Heng before. After all, she had more or less heard rumors that Chen Zijin and Li Heng were secretly dating in high school:

"How did you get together?"

Xiao Han looked up at him, wondering how he would answer?

Li Heng looked at her affectionately, "I pursued her, and the process was so hard." Hearing this, Xiao Han's last bit of gloom from being kissed was swept away, tears shining, she smiled sweetly at him, then changed the subject and asked Zhang Haiyan: "Haiyan, it's time for dinner, have you eaten? He said he wanted to treat you to a meal."

Zhang Haiyan looked at the two of them, not knowing whether she should believe what they said, because she was not familiar with Li Heng before.

Li Heng said at the right time: "Old classmate, go put the kettle in the dormitory, we will wait for you downstairs."

"Okay. Okay." Zhang Haiyan was unfamiliar with the place and her relationship with Xiao Han was warming up very quickly. Seeing her good friend nod at her, she naturally would not refuse.

After everyone left, Li Heng reached out to help her comb her hair, "Did you cry just now?"

Xiao Han felt a little uncomfortable, "Is it that obvious? You and Haiyan both asked."

Li Heng said: "My eyes were all red."

Xiao Han lowered her head and gently twisted her toes on the ground, "I'm not sad, don't worry."

Li Heng lowered his head, looked up and asked eagerly: "First kiss is so happy?"

Xiao Han bit her lower lip, then asked with a smile: "Mr. Li, I really doubt your intelligence. How dare you pursue me like this? Are you planning to cast a spell on me?"

"It's okay to use a curse, as long as you don't leave me in this life, my goal will be achieved." Li Heng said shamelessly.

Hearing these most straightforward and meaningless love words, Xiao Han stared at him in a daze, losing her mind for a moment.

After a long time, she finally showed her shy little girl's expression, "Don't push too hard, give me some more time."

Compared with last time, she loosened her lips again. Li Heng stopped at that point and withdrew his hand with satisfaction. He didn't expect to become fat in one go, as long as he could make progress every time.

In fact, both of them are clear about each other's intentions and understand each other's hearts. At this point, they have already gone far beyond the boundaries of friendship and are only one step away from the final stage.

The reason why she didn't agree readily was that she was entangled with Song Yu and Chen Zijin, but she also vaguely understood a truth: a thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole.

With his slow and steady work, he was not far from surrendering.

They had already hugged and kissed, and he had confessed his love to her time and again. What was she expecting? Maybe it was a ceremony, maybe he was not solemn enough, or maybe she was still unwilling to give up and wanted to get this man's body and soul completely. Including his body and his heart.

Less than 5 minutes later, Zhang Haiyan came back and said, "I ran all the way here. I didn't keep you waiting for long, did I?"

Li Heng and Xiao Han said in unison: "No."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Zhang Haiyan joked: "As expected of a couple, they are of the same mind."

In front of outsiders, Xiao Han did not deny this identity.

Specifically, she dared not deny it, and could not deny it. After all, there were obstacles like Song Yu and rivals like Chen Zijin ahead, and wars could break out at any time in the future. She could not take it lightly and could not be spoiled.

It was still a small restaurant in Chenzhou near the school gate. Li Heng treated us and ordered 4 dishes and a soup, and also ordered...
Zhang Haiyan felt a little embarrassed and quickly stopped him: "It's too much, we can't finish it, don't order any more."

Li Heng said with a smile, "Old classmate, don't be surprised. Today's meal is Xiao Han and I's wedding banquet. I'm glad you're our witness. Order one more, six, for a lucky six."

Zhang Haiyan leaned forward slightly: "Am I the first one to know?"

Li Heng thought for a moment and said, "It's not the first, but it's the first."

Zhang Haiyan glanced at her friend whose face was slightly red, and suddenly realized and said, "I understand, I understand. Someone must have witnessed your signs before, and I witnessed your uprightness."

Li Heng gave a thumbs up: "Great!"

When fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears. In such a place far away from home, Zhang Haiyan has a lot to say.

Once the conversation started, the three of them couldn't stop. They talked while eating, talked on the grass after leaving the restaurant, and then went shopping together. It was not until the sun went down that Zhang Haiyan suddenly came to her senses and quickly found an excuse to run back to the dormitory, leaving the space for the two of them.

Li Heng said: "Comrade Haiyan is a chatterbox."

Xiao Han smiled slightly.

Li Heng said: "But it's good to have a talkative friend. Your study life here won't be boring."

Xiao Han hummed.

Unconsciously, they were very close to the dormitory. Xiao Han raised her right wrist to check, "It's only a few minutes to 7 o'clock. It's very late. You should hurry back to school."

It is indeed not too early. It is getting dark. If we rush back now, we will arrive at school after 8: at the latest.

He said, "Okay."

"Then, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye, Xiao Han ran into the dormitory building in one breath.

But after running into the door, she stopped. A minute later, she turned back and raised her head and asked crisply, "Mr. Li, I have a question for you."

Li Heng said: "What's the problem?"

Xiao Han looked very cautious, "Are you serious today?"

Li Heng nodded and said seriously, "Of course."

Hearing this, Xiao Han revealed two shallow dimples of happiness. She suddenly stood on tiptoe, held his face with both hands, and reflected his lips with her red lips like a dragonfly touching the water. Then she said, "Goodbye, Mr. Li", lowered her head and ran away as if escaping.

She didn't dare to make a sound and hurried back to the girls' dormitory as if she had committed a crime.

This time I really won’t come back, goodbye.
