Chapter 50: Meeting Cheng Yuan

  I've been thinking about it recently, but whenever I think of giving gifts, I feel worried. In the past, every year on Cheng Yuan's birthday, I would buy a bunch of small snacks and share them with Cheng Yuan.

  Although it doesn't make sense, I feel happy just eating snacks with her.

  Just as I was worried about class, Su Jinyuan poked me and asked why I wasn't paying attention to the lesson.

  I immediately said a sentence: "Friends have birthdays, and they are worried about buying gifts."

  "Oh? Is it a boy or a girl?" Su Jinyuan asked about the gender first.

  If it were in the past, I would have said without hesitation that it was a boy. Now, thinking of Cheng Yuan's appearance, I immediately say it is a girl.

  Su Jinyuan's expression immediately darkened a lot, and then asked me again, how important is this girl to me.

  I nodded.

  "Alright, think for yourself then, I don't know." Su Jinyuan pouted and immediately turned her head to listen to the lesson.

  I had no choice but to scratch my head and continue thinking. In the end, I could only go to Baidu for a while, and then chose to send Chengyuan a box of Dove chocolate. What was written online seemed to have deep meaning, but I thought that as long as it was a snack, it would be fine. Because I knew that Chengyuan liked snacks the most.

  After thinking about it, I asked the class teacher for a day off. Because tomorrow is Thursday, not the weekend. It takes more than two hours by high-speed rail from the town to the city, so it will take at least one day to come and go.

  Ever since Su Jinyuan found out that I was going to give a gift to the girl, she has been ignoring me and even doesn't talk to me during class breaks, instead burying her head in books.

  The next morning, my parents didn't know that I hadn't gone to school. I still carried my backpack out the door, but instead got directly on the bus.

  This is probably my first time traveling far. Normally, I have never left the town. Fortunately, Cheng Yuan left me this bank card, otherwise I really didn't have money to go to the city.

  After all, the round-trip fare is over 200 yuan, which is almost half a year's worth of pocket money for me.

  Time flies, two hours later, I finally arrived in the city. As I looked out of the bus window at the buildings around me that were completely different from those in my hometown, I really felt like Liu Jiaji entering the Grand View Garden.

  The prosperity in front of me undoubtedly attracted my curiosity. It was only when I got off the bus and stood on this bustling street that I suddenly felt a little helpless.

  I really don't know where to go. I only know that Cheng Yuan is in the First Experimental Middle School in the city, but as for other information, I have no idea at all.

  Alright, a country bumpkin in the city can only be so helpless. At this time, a taxi happened to stop beside me, and my eyes lit up immediately. I asked the driver if he could take me to First Experimental Middle School.

  At that time, my brother's face showed a look of surprise, and I was quite surprised at the time. The other party wouldn't even know the first experimental middle school, would they?

  But I remember in my memory, Cheng Yuan said that the best junior high school in the city is the First Experimental Middle School.

  Just as I was about to turn around and leave, Ge called out to me again, saying: "Little brother, get in the car. I'll give you a ride."

  I was overjoyed and immediately got on the car. What puzzled me, however, was that the First Experimental Middle School was so far away? I ended up taking a taxi for more than an hour.

  When the taxi stopped at a wide square, the driver pointed to the sign in front of him, which read "First Experimental Middle School".

  My gloom was swept away, and the driver stretched out his hand pointing at the meter, saying 120 yuan. At that time I was quite surprised, but thinking about it, after taking a one-hour ride, 120 yuan wasn't too expensive.

  It wasn't until later that I found out the bus station and the First Experimental Middle School were just a street apart, and it would only take about 10 minutes to walk there. But I was deceived by my brother...

  After getting off the bus, I took a look at the time. Fortunately, it was just past 11:20 now. According to the normal class dismissal and school closing time, it should be around 11:40.

  Although I don't know which class Cheng Yuan is in, I'll stand guard at the school entrance. As long as she appears, I can see her. Thinking of this, my heart is secretly excited. The gift in my hand is also held tightly.

  Time flies by in minutes. I find that waiting for twenty minutes at this moment feels even longer than the four hours spent on the bus this morning.

  As I stood at the gate watching the first student come out with a backpack, my eyes were fixed tightly on the school entrance, afraid of missing the observation of each person's face.

  Three more minutes passed and a large number of students continued to pour out of the campus. My eyes kept searching for Cheng Yuan in the crowd.

  At this moment, my eyes were fixed on a girl wearing a blue school uniform with braids. Although the students' clothes were all uniforms, I had never forgotten that white and delicate face, especially those crystal clear beautiful eyes, which stood out in the crowd. She seemed to be walking side by side with a boy at this time.

  I hastily squeezed into the crowd, moving closer to her. My eyes were fixed on her, afraid that she would accidentally disappear in the crowd.

  Just as I was approaching Cheng Yuan within two meters, I finally couldn't hold back the excitement in my heart and shouted: "Xiao Yuan."

  My voice is not small, but it's not very loud either. However, with all the noise around, Cheng Yuan didn't hear me.

  As soon as I quickened my pace and stood in front of Cheng Yuan, she happened to move her gaze from the boy beside her to the front. Her eyes suddenly widened, her feet stopped moving, and then she rubbed her eyes.

  A flash of joy in his eyes, he shouted: "Guo Kai?"

  "What? You can't recognize me after just a few months?" I said with a smile.

  Cheng Yuan's face immediately fell after confirming that she wasn't mistaken, and she said in a bad mood: "What are you doing here? Have you been having a great time with your deskmate lately? How did you even remember me?"

  Forehead

  I immediately understood that Cheng Yuan was still angry with me. But for some reason, looking at Cheng Yuan's angry expression, I didn't feel unhappy, but instead felt a sense of sly joy.

  At this time, the boy next to her interrupted and said: "Xiaoyuan, is this your friend?"

  I looked at the man, and he was actually quite handsome. I look delicate, but the other person looks handsome too. However, when I saw the way that man looked at Cheng Yuan, his eyes were filled with adoration and greed.

  I don't know why, but I've never been too fond of that guy. To be honest, if Su Jinyuan is charming and attractive in a cute way, then Cheng Yuan has a natural and effortless charm, mainly concentrated in her eyes. Of course, it's not necessary to mention Cheng Yuan's figure, the current her is already worlds apart from the 5th grade her.

  It's no big deal for someone to chase after her, but I'm a bit annoyed in my heart.

  "Liu Zhenning, I have something to attend to, you should head back first. Thanks for organizing the birthday party for me. It's just that I really don't want to go, sorry." Cheng Yuan said somewhat impatiently.
