Chapter 5 — That Person Came From The Age Of 30
My face turned red with embarrassment, I quickly turned around to the front door to arrange bread, but my eyes still unconsciously looked outside - where Ha Lang was standing. The sound of cicadas chirping, the hot sun, Ha Lang. Compared to him when he was 17 years old, now standing in the summer sun, he looks like he's about to melt. I reluctantly ran out and pulled him into the shade. “Do you want to get sunstroke again?” It was originally a reprimand, but unexpectedly he nodded seriously. “If you get a heatstroke, you can meet me.” I almost choked and turned around to leave. The sleeve was suddenly pulled back, and a cautious voice rang out from behind: "Where are you going?" I didn't answer, just pushed his hand away. When I turned around with the lemonade, I only saw Ha Lang standing still with his head bowed, like a discarded human-shaped advertising sign. It's obvious that he's the one who sees me as someone else, so why is he acting so pitiful and innocent now? Taking advantage of the lunch break, I took him to a nearby restaurant. I pushed the menu to him: "I eat fried rice with luffa eggs, what do you eat?" He held the glass of lemonade without even looking at the menu: "Eat like me." The rice is not delicious at all, the rice sticks together into a mass, taking forever to mix. I unconsciously looked over and saw Ha Lang eating the entire plate of rice spoon by spoon. On the way home, Ha Lang seemed to regain her vitality: "Tieu Tieu, let's start taking supplementary lessons." As he spoke, he gave me a bank card. “There's 200,000 yuan in here, take it first.” 【The young master is sick of throwing money away again.】 【I'm so used to being jealous, I just want to bend down in which direction to meet such a god of wealth!】 Money without earning it is a fool. But... I didn't accept that card, on the contrary, I took out another card from my pocket. “Now I know that your entrance exam score is higher than mine, why do you need me to tutor you?” "Before, I said it was tutoring, but actually you were helping me study. This card is the tuition money you sent me, I returned it." I took off the bracelet on my wrist and put it in his hand along with the card. "This bracelet too, it's too precious, give it back to me too." I lowered my eyes, and in my vision were only the prominent veins on his arm, along with the distorted plastic cup in his hand. "As for the previous money, thank you. I will slowly return it later." Crack, lemon juice overflowed from the cup, flowing all over his hand, drop by drop, looking like tears. “Mu Tieu Tieu, what do you mean?” Looking into his bloodshot eyes, my eyes trembled slightly. "Yes, I'm Muc Tieu Tieu. Don't get me wrong—" Before he could finish his sentence, a female voice suddenly interrupted. "A Lang, I've been looking for you forever. My parents asked me to come over and discuss our engagement." Passing by the figure in front of me, a girl wearing a long light blue dress appeared in my sight. 【Young master, your first wife is here, come and welcome her!】 【Bai Boi May is here, what is this substitute standing here for?】 It turns out... this is Ha Lang's fiancee. Ha Lang frowned, lowered his head to look at me, his eyes filled with helplessness. "Tieu Tieu, I'll find you later, wait for me—" I interrupted him: "Ha Lang, I've already finished what I need to say. Don't look for me anymore, to avoid others misunderstanding." He took a step forward, still wanting to say something. The girl gracefully walked forward and naturally took Ha Lang's arm. “A Lang, no precepts thi—" Before the sentence could finish, Ha Lang seemed angry, immediately pushed her hand away, and walked a few quick steps towards me. "Hua Van, are you crazy?" Ha Lang brushed the hem of his shirt that had just been touched, the disgust on his face not bothering to hide it. The person being yelled at pouted slightly: "Just kidding, you already have a lover and you forget your friends?" I was stunned, unable to understand anything. Hua Van cleared her throat, her small steps approached, her curious eyes glanced back and forth over my body, then slowly followed closely. “Hey, I'm Hua Van, baby, you... you smell so good!” With a thud, my pupils shook. Only later did I realize she was close to my face, sniffing my neck. A shadow passed by. The girl who just stuck on me was thrown a meter away. “Go away!” Ha Lang's face was black as coal, constantly wiping my face with her hand. Hua Van was like a child who had just successfully performed a mischievous act, laughing until her whole body leaned back. Under the sun, Hua Van's cheeks were still pink, licking her lips, her sparkling eyes looking at me: "Baby, I'm 1m75 tall, have skillful hands, a tongue that can tie cherries, have a car, have a house, have a savings book, do you... want to consider me?" Commentators from heaven and earth were stunned. 【What's wrong, why do I smell the smell of lily like this? Is my sense of smell broken?!】 【Can anyone tell me what kind of marriage proposal that Hua Van was having just now?!】 【The couple I shipped broke up because the female lead liked the supporting female??? Author, please look at the script again!!】 A dark shadow stood in front of my eyes, blocking all light. That shadow clenched its fists and gritted its teeth: "Get out, don't let me do it." Hua Van ran and waved regretfully: "Baby, I'll come find you next time!" Waiting for Hua Van to completely disappear at the end of the small road, Ha Lang took a deep breath and turned his head to carefully observe my face. "Tieu Tieu, when she was in high school, she changed girlfriends like she changed clothes. She was very good at sweet words. Don't let her appearance fool you." Isn't that what's important now?! I tried to piece together the chaotic thoughts: "Ha Lang, you mean your fiancee likes girls?" Ha Lang seemed to have had time to react, immediately nodding vigorously. "She has liked girls since she was little. The engagement was just predetermined in a previous life. She used to use me as a front in the house, but now she doesn't need it anymore." I was stunned: "What's wrong?" The corners of Ha Lang's lips curled up, the smile was somewhat... cunning. “She's come out.” That day, Ha Lang officially canceled her engagement with Hua Van. But it seemed that Ha Lang considered what Hua Van said to be true. For the next week, he hardly left his side, just hanging around me. Hands down but funny. But today, Ha Lang was busy and came home, but I was actually caught by Hua Van. "That guy was really careful. Luckily, I was clever and finally met you again, Tieu Tieu!" This time Hua Van dressed completely differently than before, a tight short shirt mixed with mechanic's pants, every muscle line clearly visible. I blinked, looking at the smiling face approaching, I immediately threw Ha Lang's advice to cloud nine. She took my shoulder and pulled me into a small room in the coffee shop. “This shop has delicious tiramisu, try it!” She held the spoon, smiled brightly and put it straight into my mouth. 【Save me, why are Bao Boi May and the female supporting character such a couple?! What a sin.】 【Forget it Go, the author said that he originally intended to write the story of Bao Boi May and the young master, but he couldn't write well, these people have self-consciousness.】 【No wonder why every time I re-read it, the content has changed, the author tried to resist, I testify!】 【I'm an omnivore, let's play first!】 My face felt hot, I quickly grabbed the spoon, almost wanting to put my head in the plate of cake. "Tieu Tieu, you're so cute, no wonder Ha Lang suddenly changed his personality back then, it turned out he discovered a treasure like you." I bit the spoon, my face seemed to be about to smoke, but I still paid attention to what Ha Lang was saying in her mouth. “How was Ha Lang before?” Hua Van stirred the coffee and nonchalantly replied: "He's the most bad boy in school. He fights, smokes, drinks, he's good at everything, and he's terrible at studying. He made his father so angry that he broke several whips." I gasped: “Huh?” She laughed: "After that, his father was so angry that he cut off his allowance. Who would have thought that he would get even crazier, racing cars to make money, not caring about his life." “If it were me, I would be even crazier.” The bitter taste of cocoa gradually spreads on the tip of the tongue. "Why?" Hua Van took a sip of bitter black coffee, her face wrinkled like a monkey, and added a few sugar cubes. “His father has a daughter, his mother also has a son, and he is just the product of a commercial marriage.” I put down my spoon and suddenly didn't want to eat anymore. She took another sip of coffee, sighed with satisfaction, her voice softened: "Once he drove to the hospital, stayed for a week before returning, as if his soul had changed, suddenly he learned to read books, do homework..." Her eyes fell on me: "You two met at the beginning of the second semester of 11th grade, right?" I thought, nodded.
