14 years time difference

When receiving Tang Li's call, Du Siren was trying on clothes in the costume room of the acting department.In this play, there are four heroines, and the one representing Lianxi is red. She tried on red skirts in the costume room, long ones, short ones, Chinese style and western style, and finally chose a skirt with a leather jacket on top.The white skirt that Lu Xiaohua chose was an off-the-shoulder style with lace. Xu Wenjing’s blue dress was sewn with soft ruffles on the collar and waist. Ni Xiang’s yellow skirt was even more exaggerated, with bell sleeves and sequins. The four of them stood in front of the mirror together, and only Dusi was the most capable and dashing.

They looked in the mirror and took selfies with their mobile phones. Tang Li called at this time.

The screen of this mobile phone is too small, and the buttons on the old-fashioned mobile phone are also very difficult to press. Lin Zhique took a few glances at the photo with blurred pixels. The four young girls are facing the mirror, and the old land is compared.

The people from Dusi asked her to have dinner in the cafeteria of their school.Recently, she often has dinner with her.During the May Day holiday, there were very few students dining in the cafeteria, and dozens of tables around were empty.

Sitting opposite her, Du Siren kept babbling: "My niece is so courageous, and there is no adult to accompany her, two little kids, and a 30-hour train ride. My sister-in-law said that the train departs this morning. It won't be until tomorrow afternoon."

"14 years old, what kind of brat."

Du Zhi'an was half a year older than her, so by calculation, he was almost 14 years old at this time.

She played with Du Siren's phone, trying to press a few times to enlarge the photo, but accidentally pressed it to flip to the previous photo.

The last photo shows her standing in front of the record rack, arranging records.I don't know when it was taken secretly.

The potato slices she was holding on her chopsticks suddenly became unstable and fell into the dinner plate again.

The last one is the night of the celebration banquet, she drank too much, sitting in a taxi, taking a selfie with Du Si head to head.

...she has never shown such a silly smile in a picture taken when she was 3 years old.

She raised her eyes and took a peek at Du Siren.

Which key is to delete...

"Yes, my niece is almost 14 years old. I always feel that she is still very young, as if she just started elementary school yesterday. In a blink of an eye, she is in junior high school, and I am about to graduate from college."

The screen displays: Are you sure to delete?

Du Siren put a few pieces of braised pork ribs on her plate to her plate.

"Time flies so fast. Fortunately, technology is advanced now, so we can take more photos as souvenirs."

Lin Zhique raised his eyes to look at Du Siren again, after much deliberation, he finally pressed "No".

One more photo...

It's a non-mainstream selfie taken by Dusi people with their shoulders bare and their mouths pouting.

Lin Zhique silently exited the photo album and started playing Snake on Du Siren's mobile phone.

Du Siren was still babbling: "I heard that my niece's classmate helped to buy the ticket. Her name is Xu, and she is Xu. She has a family member who works at the train station."

Xu Xinan.

Xu Xinan was Lin Zhique's childhood friend.

In 2005, during the May Day holiday, Du Zhian and Xu Xinan ran away from home and traveled all the way to Jincheng.

She remembered this incident clearly, not because of Du Zhian, but because of what happened to Xu Xinan in Jincheng.

"Ninny, do you know? Your father said on the phone just now that Zhian ran away from home."

Lin Zhique answered her mother disdainfully while playing with the computer: "How is it possible? The princess will run away from home?"

"Really!" Lin Lan picked a piece of peeled and diced apple from the plate with a toothpick, and stuffed it into her mouth, "Did you bring two classmates to their house yesterday? Your father said that it was with one of them." Let's go. He asked me on the phone just now, where did you make such a mess of friends, and told you to stay away from them in the future. "

Lin Zhique finally looked away from the fairy sword game on the screen, turned to look at her mother, and bit off half of an apple in her mouth.

"Who? Male or female?"

"Say it's a girl. You don't know who it is?"

She was a little surprised.Girl, it should be Xu Xinan.

"Where did they go?"

"Take the train and go to Jincheng! It seems that I'm going to see your dad's sister's graduation performance."

"Oh...then this is running away from home, at most it's visiting relatives." Lin Zhique chewed the apple in his mouth, then turned his head and started to play games.

Lin Lan brushed the hair from Lin Zhique's ear to see if there was any sign of inflammation in her pierced ear.

"I don't even tell my family members! It's shameful, it makes my parents worry to death. Go take a 30-hour train ride, how can a spoiled child bear it!"

"You don't care about other people, I don't think Du Shen will be worried. Oh, you watch TV, don't bother me to play games."

She pushed and shoved Lin Lan away. As Lin Lan walked out of her room, she kept saying, "Fortunately, I went with a girl. If I left with a boy, it would be a disaster... I think it's because your father has a bad personality, one or two children are not easy to worry about, and then look at you, what's wrong with you, learning to smoke..."

Last night, when she came back from Du's house, Lin Lan had answered Du Shen's call to complain, and the mother and daughter had another big scene.Lin Lan scolded her badly. When she got up early in the morning, she seemed to regret it. She went to her room and coaxed her to get up and eat.She reluctantly got up, and the two of them were reconciled.

After all, there is no overnight feud between mother and daughter.

Lin Zhique turned his head and shouted towards the living room: "He has a bad personality and you still fall in love with him, you're out of your mind!"

After much deliberation, she quit the game and sent a message to Zhang Wen: Do you have Xu Xinan's phone number?

Zhang Wen replied: I asked.

His personal signature was changed again, and it read: My mother, engraved on the cigarette, inhaled into the lungs.

Lin Zhique thought to himself, these days, there are so many people whose brains are flooded...

After 10 minutes, he sent a series of landline numbers.

She turned on her phone and dialed the number.

The phone rang three times, and it was a little girl who answered the phone.

"Hey?"

"Hi, hello, I'm looking for Xu Xinan, I'm her classmate, is she there?"

The little girl said to others at the other end: "It's my sister's classmate."

A male voice with a bad tone: "What classmate? Or the Du family? Hang up!"

The little girl said into the microphone again: "Uh, she's not here. She's gone to another place."

There was another female voice faintly: "Why are you so fierce?"

The male voice was cursing: "What a loser! Thirteen o'clock! If you dare to lose her brother's job, see if I don't beat her to death!"

Lin Zhique asked: "When will she come back?"

"Uh... people asked when my sister will be back?"

The male voice yelled, and the voice was transmitted to the other end of the receiver, clearly: "She is not coming back! Go outside!"

Another female voice said, "The day after tomorrow, your sister will be back the day after tomorrow."

The little girl relayed to the microphone crisply: "Come back the day after tomorrow. You can call back the day after tomorrow."

"OK, bye."

The phone hangs up.

Sure enough, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and it seems that Xu Xinan's life is not easy.

Lin Zhique couldn't figure it out, Du Zhian traveled all the way to see her aunt, why did Xu Xinan follow her?Could it be that Du Zhi'an can use some kind of sorcery to fascinate everyone who approaches her?

She searched on Baidu: An Zhi Hut.This is the name of Du Zhian's blog, and she has visited it several times secretly.

It hasn't been updated for a long time.

Not long ago, Koukou launched a personalized space function, and the students abandoned the blog one after another. Unfortunately, she didn't have Jia Du Zhian as a friend, so she couldn't go to Du Zhian's space to peep.

Du Zhian's latest blog post is about what she saw during the winter vacation, about playing fireworks with her aunt in Jincheng during the New Year.

There are very few comments in the comment area, and an account called "World Insomnia" said: "Kids, see you in the summer vacation~wait for you~".

She stumbled into this blog by accident.

It has a light yellow background, the head portrait is a cute cartoon bird, and the background music of the blog starts to play automatically, which is "Insomnia in the World" by Eason Chan.The titles of all blog posts are prefixed with 【思の精紧念】.

Lin Zhique guessed that this was Du Siren's blog.

The most recent one was updated half an hour ago. There is a selfie of four girls standing in front of the mirror. It is a makeup test photo for the graduation performance.Lin Zhique took out the badge from the drawer and compared it. The young girl in the red dress in the photo seemed to be from Dusi.

All blog posts are written in a journal style, with a brisk tone. I write about the graduation performance. I welcome everyone to come and see it. I write about the beautiful night scene of someone’s house. Let's go to see the snow mountain together...

Lin Zhique rested his chin and listened to Eason Chan sing: "When you think of me, will you, like me, not be able to sleep", while flipping through these blog posts one by one.The life of this Dusi person is very different from her daily life at a few o'clock and a line. She felt a little envious in her heart, but immediately dismissed the idea.

whispering sound.

She still couldn't help thinking that it would be nice if she could grow up quickly.

In these blog posts, a person is mentioned very frequently. People from Dusi call her "sister". My sister cut a silly bangs today but she still looks good. The cigarettes that my sister borrowed from me are sweet, my sister is long, my sister short.Lin Zhique thought about it, turned her head and asked her mother loudly: "Mom, how many younger sisters does Lao Du have?"

Lin Lan's voice came from the living room: "One."

"Then does he have a sister?"

"No. Why are you asking that?"

Lin Zhique thoughtfully, scrolling the mouse wheel up and down.This Dusi man, could it be...

It's so greasy and crooked, I really can't see it.

She was too lazy to gossip about a stranger's affairs, she just thought the song was pretty good, so she stayed on this page, picked up a book and flipped through it, and let it play over and over again: "Just because I'm afraid to close my eyes, How to think of you at 6 o'clock, how to love you to the end."

"It's you, you're from the video store in front, right? You can't recognize me right away after you cut your hair."

Lin Zhique squeezed out a very forced smile.

Damn 2005, how could she believe that a Tony teacher in 2005 could help her cut air bangs?The barber spoke with a Cantonese accent and said to her, "Huh? Spicy ones are out of fashion now. I understand, Xiaoyanzi spicy ones, right?"

She should have run away then.

The weather in Jincheng has gotten warmer recently, and her hair was too long and thick, so she went for a haircut, and also bought a new set of clothes, a light-colored shirt and denim skirt that are most suitable for early summer.

When doing these things, she has an illusion, as if this is her real life, she belongs here, belongs to 2005, she has nothing, and she is not eager to ask for something from this world, on the contrary, this world treats her kindly .

This thought was very short-lived, and she crumpled it up like a piece of waste paper and put it out of her mind, especially after cutting the bangs, she almost turned around and trampled the piece of waste paper to pieces.

The owner of the florist put a bouquet of pink roses on the baby's breath, carefully tied them into a bunch, tied a red ribbon around the kraft paper, and handed it to Lin Zhique.

"Is there a performance at school today? Many people came to buy bouquets."

"Well," Lin Zhique nodded, "Today is the graduation performance of the Acting Department."

She handed the money to the boss.

On this day, she had a new haircut, wore new clothes that were too young, put on full makeup, and held a bouquet of flowers.In order to prevent Du Zhian from recognizing her, she specially put on a makeup that didn't match her usual style at all.

Very sweet.

She was more afraid of Du Zhian than Tang Li.For some reason, she always had a terrible premonition that Du Zhian would recognize her at a glance. The 14-year-old Du Zhian was the most terrifying creature in the world.What's more, there is Xu Xinan, who has been frighteningly sensitive since he was young.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the bouquet of flowers. The pink roses bloomed delicately, dotted among the white stars, very beautiful.A large bunch of sunflowers from the florist were planted in an iron bucket at the door, and they were also blooming brilliantly. She hesitated for half a second, wondering if the bouquet of flowers in her arms would send a wrong signal, and wondered whether to replace them.

That's it.

She turned around and walked towards the side door of the school.

Du Zhian said that she was the only one who could present flowers to Du Si people, but she wanted to be inferior to Du Zhian.

A large number of spectators were queuing up at the entrance of the black box theater. Lin Zhique saw from a distance that the Du family was at the front of the line, followed by grandparents, Tang Li, Du Zhian and Xu Xinan.I heard that Tang Li specially flew to pick up her daughter.Du Zhian was holding a huge bouquet of flowers, while Xu Xinan was on the phone.

A knock is also standing in the team, he did not know when he came back from his hometown.They looked at each other across the crowd, and he nodded slightly to her.

On the wall of the corridor outside the door, there are posters of the graduation performance, a group photo, and several solo posters of the main characters. Lin Zhique stopped and looked at the one by Du Siren. The family distanced themselves a little.

At this time, Xu Xinan squeezed out from the crowd.

Their eyes met.

Just like how many years ago, she met Xu Xinan's eyes with the one he first met in East China.

Lin Zhique grinned unconsciously, she completely forgot what Xu Xinan looked like when he was still so young, he was dark and thin, he seemed to be malnourished, he was not tall, but his hands and feet were long and thin.The whites of Xu Xinan's eyes are particularly white, and the eyeballs are particularly black. These eyes look very big and bright on such a thin and thin face.

It's such a situation when old friends meet again.

She stopped her: "Hey, little classmate, where are you going? The performance is about to start."

Xu Xinan looked at her suspiciously.

"Are you Dusiren's younger sister? I saw you at school yesterday. I'm Dusiren's class teacher." She repeated the trick of deceiving Tang Li.

"Oh...Hello, sister. I won't watch the show anymore. I'm not her sister, I'm just her sister's classmate. No, it's her niece's classmate." Xu Xinan replied obediently.

"Then where are you going alone?"

"I'm going to see my idol."

"Your idol? Who is it?"

Lin Zhique knew it was Chen Jia.

"Chen Jia, do you know her? She came to Jincheng, today's plane. Just now I heard that she will arrive soon, so I want to go to the hotel where she lives and wait for her."

She pretended to be surprised, her acting skills were on top of her body, and she acted like a star-chaser girl: "Oh really? I like her too!"

"Really? Do you want to come with me? Are you going in to the show, though?"

Lin Zhique looked down at the bouquet of flowers.

"Why don't we go after watching the performance together? The performance is very fast, and it will end in more than an hour."

Xu Xinan's attitude was firm: "No, she must pass by the hotel entrance for a short while, if you miss it, you won't see her again! Sister, go to the show, I'll leave you the address, if you want to come, come find me again."

Lin Zhique glanced at the poster of Du Siren on the wall.

Du Siren was holding a cigarette between her mouth and tilted the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that didn't look like her at all.

Xu Xinan turned around and took a few steps.

During the May Day holiday in 2005, Xu Xinan and Du Zhian ran away from home and went to Jincheng together.Xu Xinan carried the New Year's money he had saved for several years, more than 1000 yuan, and was cheated out of it by a stranger who pretended to be a fan of Chen Jia.

After returning to East China, she was beaten several times by her father.

Lin Zhique still remembers the injuries on Xu Xinan's face and body during that time, as well as Xu Xinan's grin pretending to be okay, showing a row of white teeth.

Xu Xinan's teeth are also very white, so she remembers them very clearly.

Later, Xu Xinan was still able to run and jump, signed up for five events in the school sports meeting, and defended the women's sprint champion until graduation.

Lin Zhique looked at the small back of 14-year-old Xu Xinan.

This may not be such a serious matter.

At best it becomes an invisible but everlasting scar.

At best, it became a meaningless rush, a collapse of trust, cruel as it was, but it was no different from many times in a long life.

She turned her head and took another look at the brave and good citizen on the poster.

Then, she finally called out to her young friend: "Hey, wait. I'll go with you."
