When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 823 Love is hard to express
Now we finally have the chance to enjoy it.

Hearing the music coming from the living room, President Kim's ears perked up.

"Is there something wrong with your tape? How many times have you listened to it? Isn't the preliminary round the day after tomorrow? Where are you going to get a new one?"

Ms. Luo smiled confidently: "Just you wait and see."

Following Zhengfeng's method, the tape was placed in the refrigerator.

President Kim's face was full of doting affection and praise.

Ms. Luo smiled and said, "This method can fix it."

President Kim praised, "I live with geniuses."

Ms. Luo said, "Come inside quickly, I've already made up the bedding for you."

"No, I want to watch the evening news before going to sleep. Today is Aze's Ing Cup final, right?"

Ms. Luo had no choice but to help him back to the sofa.

She went back and forth, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her body.

The evening news hadn't started yet, and the television screen was showing commercials.

"Keep your voice down, Zhengfeng is studying."

President Kim took the remote control and turned the volume down.

"learn."

In the bedroom.

A pile of origami cranes sat on Zhengfeng's desk, his pupils bloodshot, clearly indicating that he hadn't had enough rest.

After folding the last red origami crane in his hand, he yawned.

One thousand, done!
After so many days, it's finally finished.

Only he knows the joys and sorrows he experienced.

It's eleven o'clock.

Zhengfeng picked up the phone on the table and dialed a familiar number.

"dududu~"

The phone rang silently for three or four seconds before being immediately disconnected.

The call came back very quickly.

It's said that Zhengfeng is romantic in everything he does when he's in love.

This is some kind of secret code; after three beeps, the other end knows it's him calling.

Zhengfeng answered immediately: "Hello?"

Zhang Meiyu's voice came through the microphone: "It's me, Manyu."

Hearing his beloved's voice, Zhengfeng smiled.

"Yes, I know. Is evening self-study over?"

"Yes, Deok-sun is back too?"

"I don't know, he should be back by now, I don't care."

Perhaps because he was too excited, he started using English.

He didn't care about anyone else, only Zhang Meiyu.

"what?"

"It's nothing. Is your father already asleep? Can I call him?"

"He went to work just now. No, wait, he made an appointment and went out."

Manyu's father owns a fabric shop, but he never wanted people to know.

Of course, I didn't want Zhengfeng to know either.

"You haven't forgotten our date on Friday, have you? It's at the bus stop near your house, Manyu. I'll be waiting for you at 2 PM."

The origami cranes were originally intended as a birthday gift for Maggie Cheung, which happens to be the school anniversary tomorrow.

According to past practice, the school anniversary would be a day off.

Breaking news: Only the morning of that day is off, to be used for students to participate in the school anniversary celebration.

Only the first and second year of high school get a full day off.

So their date turned into the day of the Feast of Manifestation.

"Got it, I'll be there that day... Hey, who are you, kid?"

Before Manyu could finish speaking, a fierce male voice came from the microphone.

Without a doubt, it's either Manyu's father or Manyu's brother.

Zhengfeng hurriedly hung up the phone, even faster than when he answered it.

He stood up, retreated to the corner, and patted his chest.

It's so scary.

Such a few words, yet they caused so much harm.

……

Aze's family.

Phoenix Hall paced back and forth in front of the counter, Pearl asleep on his back. Her little face was pressed against Phoenix Hall's shoulder, with crumbs of bread still clinging to the corner of her mouth.

Phoenix Hall paced back and forth, glancing at the phone.

Every time Aze finishes a match, he calls me immediately.

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Kim Sun-young burst in, bringing with her a gust of cold wind.

"Brother, I've come to take the pearl home. Give it to me."

Phoenix Hall said, "It's alright, I'll take it back with you."

The two walked out of the store, with Kim Sun-young silently following behind Phoenix Hall.

Back home, Phoenix Hall gently placed Pearl on the bedding and then went outside.

Kim Sun-young said softly, "Did Taek call?"

Phoenix Hall said, "They haven't arrived yet, probably in a while. It's cold at night, you should go back."

Kim Sun-young said, "You should go back soon too."

Phoenix Hall stood still, his lips twitching slightly, clearly wanting to say something.

Kim Sun-young's face was full of smiles, and her eyes were full of encouragement.

"Sunyoung~"

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, alright, I'm going back now."

Kim Sun-young's smile suddenly vanished, then burst into a bright smile again: "Okay, then I'll go back."

I was really looking forward to him saying those words.

Watching Phoenix Hall's retreating figure, Kim Sun-young sighed.

Phoenix Hall slowly walked home, letting out a sigh.

Love is in my heart, but I find it hard to express.

……

Bao La's house.

The family of four stood or sat neatly in the living room.

Deok-sun didn't go to Jung-hwan's house today; instead, she stayed by the phone.

Li Yihua was folding blankets on the side.

Sung Dong-il tore off a page from the calendar hanging on the wall.

"It's already June, and Paula still hasn't come back?"

Yu Hui, lying on the ground, said, "Sister Paula has been studying at the library until after midnight lately, and she didn't come back until almost midnight last night."

Deok-sun pursed her lips, not exposing the lie.

Was she going to read a book?

She clearly went on a date with Ah Yong.

Cheng Dongri sighed, "Today is the last day of the exam. After I go home, I'll be moving out. When will the exam results come out?"

Yu Hui said, "It will be around the end of July or mid-August."

The specific time for releasing the results of the judicial examination in the peninsula is not fixed.

It is usually announced 4 to 8 weeks after the event.

The whole family was very nervous and really hoped that Paula would make it through.

But the exams are over, so all I can do is wait patiently for the results.

Another matter weighed on the couple's minds: their eldest daughter was going to go to a test-taking center.

Strictly speaking, this could be considered Paula's first time leaving home.

Sung Dong-il was feeling very melancholy.

Li Yihua turned her head and said, "By the way, you should have gone straight home after work that day. You should have at least made sure to see Paula move out of the house."

Sung Dong-il laughed and said, "You, Paula isn't emigrating, she's just going to the Goshiwon (exam preparation center). Why make such a big farewell party? It's too noisy. Besides, the bank is busy lately, I might not be able to see it."

Deok-sun turned her head and said, "Mom, you even bought a new blanket."

Li Yihua said, "Yes, we're sending her out to stay. How can she sleep on a worn-out blanket? If possible, I'd like to go out for a meal together and brew her some tonic."

Deok-sun didn't take it seriously and turned to look at the phone.

"Honestly, whether Aze won or lost, he didn't even call."

That day, no one received a call from Aze, except for Phoenix Hall.

Because of the time difference, the match ended after midnight.

……

Early the next morning.

Li Renyong turned over in the morning light, half asleep, when his arm suddenly touched something soft.
