Chapter 214: Love Lost in One Second
Li Yufei didn't sleep well that night.

Lying in bed, she kept thinking about what her father had said before, the questions he had asked, and the meaningful look in his eyes when he left.

As she thought about it, she felt confused and couldn't sleep. She turned on the desk lamp and picked up a book on the bedside table. It was "Gone with the Wind" written by the famous American writer Margaret Mitchell. She had read this novel many times and liked it very much. Rhett Butler floating in the sky was the first man who shocked her. He came from a prominent family, had a natural aristocratic temperament, was alert and calm, wise and mature, had a deep understanding of life, and had a unique perception of things.

When I woke up the next day, it was a quarter past six.

Mom is frying eggs in the kitchen while Dad has gone out to work.

Now that the Longjingyuan Canning Factory has just been acquired by Brother Guibing’s company, Dad probably has a lot of work to deal with.

After washing up, her mother called her to eat breakfast in the kitchen. She wrapped her wet hair in a towel and went back to the bedroom and said, "I got up late, and I don't have enough time. Mom, you eat. I'll buy some breakfast on the way and I'll take it back to school."

Mom was mumbling in the kitchen as usual: "What are you eating on the road? You're eating those unclean things at the street stalls again, right?"

"Qifengdu fish noodle, from Zhangji, very clean and hygienic." Li Yufei combed her hair in front of the mirror. The window was open. The early winter sun was very warm, pouring on her black hair like a waterfall, which was breathtakingly beautiful. She said with a smile on her face, "Mom, you haven't tried Zhangji Xifengdu fish noodle yet, right? I'll pack a portion for you after school. It has the spicy flavor you like. It's very famous. It's the most delicious food in the eyes of students in our school."

After combing her hair and closing the curtains, Li Yufei chose a sky blue dress in front of the dazzling wardrobe, put on white stockings and black leather boots, a woolen coat, and took her school uniform. However, when she took her schoolbag from the desk to go out, she was somewhat surprised to see a stack of money on top of the textbook, with a note on it.

Li Yufei was stunned.

She picked up the note and read the words written on it: "Yufei, I left you 1200 yuan, 200 yuan for you to treat your good friend who celebrated his birthday on that day, and the other 1000 yuan, you need to find a way to return the gift to your classmate Zhang Yunqi.

My daughter, last night we were chatting, and you told me some things about Zhang Yunqi. I was really touched by some of his qualities, and I am sincerely happy that my daughter can have such a good friend. However, you have to know that 1000 yuan is a huge expense. But it doesn't matter. Dad gave it to you just to ask you to remember that no one in this world has money blown by the wind. No matter what the situation is, no matter what the relationship is, don't use a boy's money easily and for granted, which will only deteriorate your pure feelings. "

Being a human being has always been a profound learning.

After running laps, Zhang Yunqi took a shower, ate a bowl of fish noodles which was ranked number one among the students of the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and walked to class on time with a belly full of spicy food. Then, at the school gate, he encountered the great knowledge of being a human being.

I don't know if a few minions from the student union were too bored, so they started a "security check" at the school gate and refused to let in any students who were not in school uniform.

Zhang Yunqi was not wearing school uniform.

A few young guys pointed at him and said, "You, you, you, move over there and don't block other people's way!"

Zhang Yunqi just smiled. The young man was young and hot-tempered, but he did things according to the rules, and there was nothing wrong with that. He was not the kind of person who openly defied school rules. He usually wore school uniform to class, but it was so cold in the winter that it was too damn cold to wear a school uniform and a sweater to attend class in the classroom.

Of course, you can also wear a cotton coat inside and a school uniform outside. Many students do this, but Zhang Yunqi feels very uncomfortable wearing it this way. The whole person is twisted into a ball, very twisted, as long as you move, the parts of the body are rubbing against each other, making it difficult to concentrate in class.

In fact, no matter how they wear it, for most students, school uniforms are just for show, they are put on and taken off as soon as they pass the school gate. Zhang Yunqi doesn't like to do this. He keeps his school uniform at home, not at the fish powder store. He will definitely be late if he goes to get it. He also has no interest in getting it. He is already a senior in the second year of high school. If he is stopped at the school gate by a group of freshmen, it will be too embarrassing.

He walked to the window of the nearby communication room and made a phone call, preparing to greet the Dean of Academic Affairs, Luo Dahai, early in the morning.

Luo Dahai is the father of most of the students at the No. 1 Middle School in the city. Boss Yu Lin, who takes care of his food, drinks and whores, is Luo Dahai's father. Zhang Yunqi certainly cannot be Yu Lin's father, but he is worthy of the title of boss and brother. Therefore, based on seniority, Director Luo Dahai should call him uncle.

Uncle doesn’t wear school uniform, well, that shouldn’t be a big problem.

Zhang Yunqi picked up the phone and just dialed a few numbers when he heard a girl behind him shouting, "Yunqi."

He turned his head and saw Li Yufei.

It was almost 7:30 in the morning, and it was almost time for morning self-study. There were not many students at the school gate. The winter sun was very warm, and the light poured down from the swaying treetops and leaves of the camphor tree. The light spots roamed on the ground. The girl standing in the light spots was tall, thin, and had a very pale face. She had long, soft, straight hair with a faint fragrance. "Aren't you wearing a school uniform?"

"correct."

"Then I'll lend you my school uniform."

"Where did you get the school uniform?"

"Silly! I can lend you this school uniform I'm wearing."

"What about you?"

"That's all."

Under the gaze of several students from the Student Union, the girl walked directly into the school gate. Then, she walked to the locked iron railing on the other side of the school gate, took off her pink schoolbag, and took off her school uniform. She turned to Zhang Yunqi who was looking at her, tilted her head, and smiled playfully: "Come here, Yunqi, I'll give you your school uniform."

Zhang Yunqi was stunned for a long moment before he walked over, took her school uniform and put it on. It was a little small and tight, but very clean and soft, with a faint scent of a girl.

Several guys from the student union witnessed this scene and didn't know what to do for a moment. They had been sentries for most of the semester, and this was the first time they encountered such a trick. Especially when they saw Zhang Yunqi swaggering into the school gate, they felt very conflicted.

They stopped them, but the school only stipulates that students must wear school uniforms before entering the school gate. Many students wear school uniforms and then tear them off in front of them. They have no right to say anything. What these two people did is really not a violation of school regulations, because there is no such rule at all.

If they didn't stop him, they would feel awkward, especially when they saw Zhang Yunqi walk into the school gate and the beautiful girl smiled sweetly and warmly as she walked shoulder to shoulder with him on the tree-lined road. At that moment, they felt as if their hearts were blown away by a sniper shot.

In fact, this feeling is very common in the hearts of young people. When they see a girl who makes their heart beat faster, the girl suddenly walks happily with another boy. It's like when a certain idol that a boy has been obsessed with for a long time suddenly announces a relationship. Obviously, there is no relationship, but they still feel sad and a little blocked, as if they were heartbroken in a second...

The author presses:

1. Student unions existed as early as the beginning of the th century, during the May Fourth Youth Movement. I am not sure about the situation in other places, but the high school I attended had one in the s. I saw many readers question this point. I will explain this.

2. Art comes from life. Li Yufei handed Zhang Yunqi her school uniform. This is my personal experience when I was a student. I remember that day I forgot to wear my school uniform and was stopped by the student union from entering the school gate. A beautiful stranger took off her school uniform and lent it to me. It was exactly the same as the plot described above.

The difference is that after that one meeting, because I was so damn shy and timid, I didn’t even say thank you, and we forgot about each other in the crowd and never saw each other again.

I don't know why, after so many years, many beautiful things from my student days have been forgotten, but this incident always comes to my mind at some point in the process. Whenever I think of high school, I will remember her vague image in my mind for a long time, and wonder what her name was, what her class number was, and what she is doing now.

Maybe, lying in the arms of some rich and handsome guy and having sex...

This is very poisonous chicken soup.

But that's the nature of life.

Even though so many years have passed, I still vaguely remember that she had long straight black hair, was tall and thin, and was really pretty.

If I could do it again, back to that moment, I would definitely say to her: Thank you. I just ran and sweated a lot, and my clothes must be stained with sweat. Do you want me to take them to the dry cleaners at noon and clean them and return them to you? Please leave your name and class number. So that we can contact each other later...
