02 Lin Xia
My life in Shangjing is very monotonous.
Because I am lonely alone, I have even less words. I have almost no friends at school and go home after school. I spend all my extracurricular time studying Feng Shui techniques. These secret techniques seem awkward to outsiders, but for me, studying these is the happiest thing.
In the days without my grandfather and parents, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, Yin and Yang Count, Feng Shui Formation, Talismanship and Spells are my best companions. They can make me forget loneliness and coldness, and even if I live alone, I can live a fulfilling and happy life.
The only pain is that I have learned so much but have no chance to perform. Especially in the third year of junior high school, I fell in love with a female classmate in the same class, and the girl also had a good impression of me. But in the end, she was chased away by another boy and became his girlfriend.
What's sad is that the kid's way of chasing this girl was to help her calculate the horoscope. That day, I watched him play the girl I like, and watched him fool the girl with the three-legged cat kung fu he learned from the Internet. Five sentences, two is accurate and three is not accurate. But that shocked the girl, thinking that he is so powerful, and soon after, they both got into the right pair.
I was in great pain during that time. I wanted to tell the girl that the grandson was lying to you, and he didn't understand this at all! But in the end I didn't say anything, because my grandfather said that the first time I did things for someone was to the Tang family, and that girl, her name was Li Fei.
After graduating from junior high school, Li Fei and that kid were admitted to the same high school. When I was in the class, Li Fei and I were still in the same class, and the kid was in the class next to us. Soon after, he used the same trick again and got another more beautiful female classmate and dumped Li Fei.
Li Fei was very sad. That night, she called me to the playground and cried and told me that the boy broke up with her.
She hugged her legs, crying with the rain, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
I reached out and tried to comfort her. After hesitating for a while, I finally didn't dare.
At this moment, she suddenly said, "Fortunately I was not fooled by him, at least I am still innocent..."
I suddenly felt like five thunders thunder, as if someone had pierced the heart from behind with a knife.
Li Fei wanted to hint to me that if someone else was the one who would have been very happy to hear this. But I am not someone else. After I heard this, I instinctively understood that Li Fei had been...
Seeing that I didn't say anything, she turned her head and looked at me carefully, "Wu Zheng, what's wrong with you?"
I don't know what to say, because my mind is blank.
After a moment of silence, I forced a smile and said, "No... it's okay..."
"Don't you believe me?" she asked.
"I... believe..." I said against my will.
She didn't know what to say, and the scene was a little awkward.
After a few minutes of silence, I stood up and said, "Don't be sad, I'll send you back."
She said nothing and nodded.
I took her downstairs to the dormitory building, and she turned around and asked me, "Wu Zheng, believe me, Zhang Yi and I are really nothing!"
I want to believe her, but...
At that moment, I really wished I didn't understand numerology.
She turned around.
I left school, rode my bicycle all the way back to my home. After entering the community, I went to the supermarket to buy a lot of wine, and went home to drink it alone until dawn.
My first love passed like this.
In the next two years, Li Fei changed her boyfriend several times, and I was unknown, never liked anyone, nor was I liked by anyone until I graduated.
After graduating from high school, Li Fei was admitted to Peking University and went to college.
I didn't take the college entrance examination because I knew that I didn't have the fate of going to college. After reading so many books, I was enough and satisfied.
On the day I received the notice, Li Fei called me and said she wanted to meet me and have a meal together.
I hesitated for a moment, found an excuse and refused.
I don’t understand the mind reading technique, but I can understand the divine light of people. When she looked at me, she told me that although she had changed her boyfriend several times, she always had a place in her heart. But in her opinion, I am too low-key, and I don’t talk much, and no one can figure out what I think, and I have never responded positively to her hints.
What does that sentence mean? It’s hard to cut it, but it’s still messy.
Li Fei wanted to break up with me before entering college life.
But to me, this makes no sense anymore.
That night, I drank a lot of wine myself and got drunk.
After I stopped going to school, I became an otaku. Every day, except for eating and walking, I spent all my time studying the secret techniques of the Wu family. Because I had no chance to practice, I thought of various ways to verify it. For example, calculating the weather, when it will rain, and when the rain will stop. For example, buying some fruits to go home, then refining some objects to set up a formation, and using fruits to test the effect of the formation.
After more than a month of this kind of life, the descendants of the Lin family came.
That day I was studying the acceleration effect of the Liusha position on apple rot, and suddenly the doorbell rang. When I opened the door, I saw that there was a girl of similar age as me outside the door. She was wearing a white T-shirt and light-colored jeans. She had a clean and neat shoulder-length hair, pure temperament, and very beautiful, especially her big watery eyes, which looked amazing.
I was stunned for a moment, "You are..."
"Hello, my name is Lin Xia." The girl smiled at me, "My grandfather asked me to come here to find Wu Zheng, the grandson of Master Wu Si. Is he here?"
I came to my senses, "Oh, here, I am."
"That's great," Lin Xia reached out to me, "Good luck!" I didn't take her hand, "Come in."
She was a little embarrassed, but she was not without her demeanor, and she smiled slightly, "Yeah."
I let her into the living room, brought her a can of Coke, then went back to the bedroom, opened my box, and took out two red cloth bags.
Grandpa said, let me choose any one.
But I don't want to give it to anyone.
But I couldn't ignore my grandfather's words, so I chose one randomly, put it on the bed, and put the other one back in the box.
When I returned to the living room, I handed her the red cloth bag, "This is for you."
Lin Xia was a little surprised, "You're giving it to me now? Don't you ask who my grandfather is?"
"No need to ask," I said, "Your surname is Lin."
"But..." She stopped talking.
I handed the bag to her, opened a can of ice coke myself, took a sip, and asked her, "Do you also learn Feng Shui?"
She nodded, "I learned some."
"Is that?" My eyes lit up, "That's great, let's talk."
She looked at her watch and smiled at me embarrassedly, "It's too late, I have to leave."
"Where are you going?" I couldn't help asking.
She looked down at the red cloth bag in her hand, "Grandpa passed away. He said that Mr. Wu promised to give us something to the Lin family during his lifetime and asked me to come to you. He said that after he got it, he would let me leave Shangjing and go to the south, and I would have to live alone from now on."
Speaking of this, her eyes turned red.
I felt lonely and smiled helplessly, "It seems that we are the same, we are all treated like this..."
"So are you?" She looked at me.
I nodded silently, took a sip of Coke, and said to her, "Then I won't keep you."
"Yeah," she stood up, "Thank you."
I took her to the door, and she turned around and reached out to me again, "Shake your hand, we will be friends in the future."
I hesitated for a moment and held her hand.
So warm, so soft, so elastic.
She smiled at me and turned to go downstairs.
I looked at her back and sniffed my hand silently.
There is still fragrance.
