Chapter 268 A guilty conscience
After a night of sleeplessness and inner pain, my face became extremely haggard.
The originally fair face now seemed to be covered with a layer of gray gauze, lifeless.
There was a deep dark blue color around my eyes, as if they were painted with ink, which was the mark left by fatigue and sleepiness.
Her cheeks were slightly sunken, losing their former rosy and fullness, revealing a look of weakness and paleness.
The lips also appear dry and flaky, with no blood color.
My whole face was filled with fatigue and pain, as if telling of the endless torture brought by betrayal. That look made people feel heartbroken.
Gu Weiying has already gotten the truth of the matter from Wang Fang.
When they returned to school, they finally couldn't hold it in anymore, especially Wang Fang, who started cursing at Zhang Chen.
"Forget it, Wang Fang. I didn't have anything to do with him anyway."
Although I was in great pain at that moment, I still calmly stopped Wang Fang.
After all, Zhang Chen and I have never broken that layer of window paper and have never confirmed our official boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Even in the letters, they only addressed each other as classmates, and the few words of missing each other were not so unforgettable.
Besides, this society is very realistic and everyone has the right to pursue happiness. Maybe I am not the right person in his mind, or the one who can give him something.
After packing up our things, the three of us got on the bus back home.
Gu Weiying was very worried about me, and she always sent Wang Fang and I to the car, and repeatedly told Wang Fang to take good care of me on the way.
I am very grateful to have such a good friend who is like a family member to me.
When I got home, my grandma noticed that I didn't look well and asked me what happened with concern. I simply gave an evasive answer, saying that I didn't sleep well on the train.
My grandma made me a lot of delicious food. Although I didn’t have much of an appetite, I still forced myself to eat a lot in order not to make her worry.
After washing up, my grandmother pushed me onto the bed.
I tossed and turned for a while and fell asleep. This time, the man in black who had not appeared for a long time appeared again.
His brows were tightly furrowed, forming deep furrows, which were marks of worry.
His eyes were full of anxiety, and his gaze was fixed on my face without blinking, as if he was afraid of missing any subtle changes on my face.
His face was filled with heartache, an unspeakable pain, as if his heart was being grabbed.
I really wanted to touch his face and ask him what was wrong. Although his face had been calm and cold in my dreams over the years, today he seemed more uneasy than ever before.
But although I could sense that he was in a heavy mood, I couldn't move.
Finally, he sat down gently beside my bed and gently stroked my forehead with his slender hands. Then I fell into a deep sleep again, as if I had lost consciousness.
I slept until 8 o'clock in the evening. After waking up, I seemed to have forgotten the pain that Zhang Chen brought me, and I felt much better.
I have to say that although I have been lonely since childhood, I am still strong inside. I was full of energy after one day.
On the morning of the third day, Wang Fang came to see me on her bicycle. We took the 300 discs and prepared to sell them door to door in the villages.
There is no holiday homework in college, and grandma didn’t stop us. She just asked us to be careful on the road.
It was very cold in winter, and Wang Fang and I were fully armed.
Because we had experience selling things at school, we were not nervous at all.
As expected, our discs sell extremely well. We purchase them at 1 to 1.5 yuan per disc, and our lowest price is 10 yuan for 3 discs, while the rest are 5 yuan per disc.
Especially those young people who have returned from working in the coastal areas, they are willing to buy it.
Wang Fang and I spent one day in our village and sold more than 30 tickets. At this rate, we would probably sell out in less than five days.
We were both very happy, but also lamented that we had not purchased enough goods. After dinner at my house in the evening, Wang Fang rode her bike back home.
We agreed to start selling in the next village the next day.
The next day, Wang Fang came early again. They were going to Zhang Chen's village.
When we got near Zhang Chen’s house, Wang Fang looked at my face and said.
"Liu Feng, let's not go here."
"It's nothing, let's go!" I haven't done anything wrong, so there's nothing to be afraid of, but my heart still feels inexplicably beating.
When I arrived at Zhang Chen's house, the door was open, but I didn't see Zhang Chen. I felt a little disappointed and didn't know what to feel.
So we walked to the next door to his house, and there happened to be a newly married couple in that house. They were also working in other places and had just returned a few days ago to get married.
They then asked us to take out the discs and choose.
During the selection process, Zhang Chen came out of his house and walked over.
"Wang Fang, Liu Feng, why are you two here?" He was very surprised to see the two of us.
Wang Fang glanced at him and ignored him. I nodded softly, raised my head and looked at him.
His eyes were wandering, he didn't dare to look me in the eye, he always glanced to the side quickly and then looked away in panic.
There was an unnatural look on his face, and his cheeks seemed to be slightly flushed, as if he was trying hard to hide something.
His lips moved from time to time, as if he was suppressing his inner anxiety.
The slightly lowered head also showed his guilty conscience.
When he met my gaze, he would unconsciously avoid it and his body would tremble slightly, as if he was afraid that the secret in his heart would be seen through.
His entire expression and eyes revealed a guilty conscience, which made it easy to tell that something was wrong with him.
"Wang Fang, why are you ignoring me?" In order to ease the embarrassment, he started chatting with Wang Fang.
"Who are you? Do you know us?" Wang Fang said coldly.
"You're kidding, Wang Fang. When did I ever offend you?" Zhang Chen smiled awkwardly. "Okay, I'll do some business for my old classmate. How much is this disc?"
He then selected with his neighbors.
I felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say. I just stood aside silently and watched Wang Fang look at him coldly.
"Okay, I'll take this one. How much is it?" He selected a CD and held it in his hand.
"5 yuan." said Wang Fang.
He handed the money to Wang Fang and turned to leave.
"Oh, Zhang Chen, you are rich now. Have you hooked up with a rich man in the provincial capital?" Wang Fang said with a smile, looking at his back.
Zhang Chen was slightly stunned, and without saying a word, he walked straight back home.
We left here quickly, and I was feeling extremely depressed at that time.
Wang Fang saw what I was thinking and tried to comfort me.
"Liu Feng, there is no need to be sad. There are many good men in the world. We will not hang ourselves on this crooked tree."
"No, no, I know. Let's go and make more money." I sorted out my thoughts.
I don’t know what Zhang Chen is thinking at this moment. After Wang Fang’s sarcasm, he should understand.
There were two classmates from other classes in high school who went to the same school as him. There is no wall that is impenetrable in the world, so it is not surprising that we knew he had a new love.
