Chapter 1 Extra Story of Chen Qiang ([-])

My name is Chen Qiang, and I have the same name as my name. If you grab a handful from the crowd, you can't find them if you throw them in.

Since I was a child, I have never been a child to make my family proud. When a large group of relatives get together during the holidays, the adults will always have to compare them openly and secretly. Either it is the position and salary of each other’s husbands, or it is naturally their own. children.

Sadly, I have always felt ashamed of my parents in this regard, because they never tasted the joy of victory. Usually, in the cousin competition, I always use the one to set off how good others are.

"Your cousin already participated in the National Mathematical Olympiad when he was your age, how about you? Your math score just passed the passing mark!"

"Your cousin is a few years younger than you. She has already previewed English to your grade. Are you ashamed?"

"Your cousin participated in the speech contest in the province and won the championship. She is also beautiful. She was picked by the TV station before graduating from university! Tell me about you! You don't look good on the stage, and your studies are not very outstanding. You will be able to do better in the future." what?!"

See, this is what I usually hear the most.

However, I am not so useless, at least I have a good voice.

This may be the only place where I feel confident.

I remember when I was in high school, the Internet was not as popular as it is now. At that time, children were still keen to make pen pals. They copied the mailing addresses of strangers of the same age in magazines and wrote to them. If the other party thought they had something to talk about with you, Of course I will write back to you.

At that time, I was almost the most silent student in the class. My grades were not outstanding, my appearance was not outstanding, and I was not tall. Here, I am the object of jokes by the same sex, and girls, they usually automatically ignore my existence.

Later, I saw a girl’s advert for a pen pal in a middle school student’s magazine. My head got hot, I took out the manuscript paper, wrote a letter and sent it to me. When people ignored it, I got a reply.

I can't remember the girl's name, I just remember that her surname is Su, she has a very gentle name, and her handwriting is also graceful and beautiful.The two of us started correspondence, wrote to her, and waited for her reply. These two things became the happiest things in my ordinary life. Su’s letters were written about some trivial things in daily life, but these trivial things were also It became interesting because of her delicate and lovely description, my life is too dull, so I have to take the great achievements of the popular boys in the class as my own, I don't want to let this hard-won friend and the only opposite sex Friends look down on me.

In this way, we communicated from the second year of high school until the third year of high school.In the middle, she gave me her phone number, and we started talking on the phone occasionally. During that time, I didn’t know how many IC phone cards were empty. Su often said that my voice was very nice, and it was the best boy’s voice she had ever heard.

When the college entrance examination was approaching, Su said in a letter that she wanted to apply for a university in C city, and wanted to come to our place to have a look and meet me by the way.

I was so excited that I didn't get a good night's sleep.It was only after many years that I realized that this was the so-called enlightenment. I was still a boy, but I didn't know it when I was attracted by a girl. I was so stupid.

However, I called her the next day and told her I couldn't see her because I was too ordinary and would disappoint her.

Su laughed like a silver bell on the other end of the phone.She said, fool, everyone's aesthetics are different, not to mention that charisma is more important than handsome appearance.

So we made an appointment to meet, and my heart was full of sweetness and anxiety.

Finally, the appointed day arrived. On the weekend when I was supposed to go home, I gave up on the original arrangement and went to the famous and expensive barbershop near the school to get my hair cut the first day. I got up early in the morning to wash up.

I came to the agreed place, a KFC restaurant, found a side seat and sat down, keeping my eyes on the door. Every time someone walked in, my heart would beat violently.

I put the issue of the magazine that published Su Zhengyou's advertisement on the table in front of me. This is the code we agreed, and she will find me based on this.

During the wait, young girls came in a few times, but soon they found their friends, and they were not the ones I was waiting for.

Almost half an hour passed the agreed time, and when I was burning with anxiety, a tall girl walked in the door. She looked around for a long time, and finally her eyes fell on the magazine in front of me.

is her!She must be Sue!
Although she just glanced at the magazine and didn't come over directly, I was sure in my heart that she must be Su, the person I was waiting for.

Sure enough, she carefully searched for a while in the not-so-big restaurant before she was sure that I was the person she was looking for, and finally moved towards me.

To be honest, Su Chang is not pretty.She was tall, but as thin as a reed stick, with a yellow complexion.Even so, when I saw her walking towards me, my heart was pounding like a drum. She was right, her personality is more attractive than her appearance. The little yellow face also became cute.

"Are you Chen Qiang?" She walked to the table, did not sit down directly, frowned slightly, and kept looking at me.

I thought my face must have turned red, otherwise it wouldn't have burned so badly. I opened my mouth, but couldn't speak, so I just nodded.

Afterwards, there was nothing remarkable about it. Su seemed to be the same as me, a person who was not good at expressing. My family conditions were very average, and my parents were ordinary workers, so the living expenses they gave me were also not rich. But I'm a man, how can I be too stingy when I go out to eat with a girl for the first time.I spent more than a week's food expenses and bought a lot of things to put in front of Su.

"If it's not enough, you're welcome, I'll buy it again!" I said to her pretending to be generous.

She frowned, glanced at the pile of food in front of her, lazily picked out a piece of French fries, dipped in the ketchup I squeezed: "I'm not a pig, how can these not be enough."

Yes, girls have small appetites, how silly of me!I scratched my head and smiled embarrassedly.

That meal was very silent, Su kept looking out of the window without speaking, and neither did I.People are always very strange. When we are at the two ends of the letter paper and the receiver, it is always easy to find intimacy and topics to talk about freely, but when we are actually face to face, there will be a weird sense of strangeness.

I'm not worried. Didn't Su say that she wanted to take the exam in City C? We have plenty of time and opportunities to gradually get acquainted in reality.

After dinner, I planned to accompany her for a walk around City C, to play in the park, or to watch a movie. I don't worry about not being able to pay for this month's living expenses. You can help the men in the male dormitory to wash clothes and exchange money.

None of my plans had a chance to be implemented, because Sue said that she was motion sick when she came here, and she was very uncomfortable. She wanted to go back early, but I had no choice but to send her to the long-distance station, volunteered to buy a ticket for her, and kept standing. Watching the bus go away on the platform.

I thought that I would start living the life I had before, but I was wrong.

It turns out that once the turning point occurs, life will never return to the original point.

After the meeting that day, I wrote to Su as usual, and began to look forward to when she would come to see me in City C again, or it would be good if I went to her city to see her.I wrote letters one by one, day by day, until half a month passed, and I didn't receive a single reply, I started to feel panic, and kept guessing all kinds of possibilities in my heart, she was sick ?The postman made a mistake and lost all the letters from our school for half a month?Just because of the last meeting, I spent my little living expenses, and I have no spare money to buy an IC phone card.

Three weeks passed, a month passed, and there was still no news from Su.

I couldn't help but bought a phone card, and tried to call her, but her roommate answered every time, and the time I called was always unlucky, Sue was always not in the dormitory.In the end, a girl who spoke very rudely yelled at me on the phone, stop calling, she doesn't live here anymore!
I was really flustered, could it be that Su was really sick?Otherwise, why would he not live in the dormitory all of a sudden?
So I did something unruly for the first time in my life, I skipped school.

Sitting on the bus to the city where Su lived, I speculated about various possibilities in my heart. When I arrived at the destination, I finally found Su's school according to the mailing address.

When she walked out with her classmates talking and laughing, I was finally relieved, she was fine, and looked even better than when I met me last time.

When she saw me, she was stunned. I smiled and went up to meet her. The classmates around her looked at me curiously and asked her who I was.

"A distant relative," Su said.

She pulled me aside, frowning, with dissatisfaction in her tone.

"How did you come?"

"I can't get your reply, and I can't contact you by phone. I'm a little worried."

I felt uncomfortable being questioned by her.

"Why didn't you ask my opinion in advance before coming here? How would you make others think of you when you popped up like this?" Su was very angry.

I feel at a loss: "I can't contact you, I just, I just want to see how you are..."

"Okay, if you don't come, I will be better!"

I was stunned.

"Are you still writing letters?"

"Stop writing, the college entrance examination is coming soon, I don't want to delay my studies!"

"Alright, anyway, it will be convenient for us to meet when you take the exam to City C in the fall."

"I don't want to take the test in C city anymore, I changed my mind, I want to rely on L city!" Su said with a cold face, not looking at me.

For a moment, I suddenly didn't know why I came here.

After that day, we didn't write any more letters, my life was quiet again, and my number of friends of the opposite sex went back to zero.

It wasn't until many years later, when I accidentally ran into her on the street, that I realized that she had actually been admitted to a school in City C and stayed here.

At that time, Lin Lili was walking beside me, and Su looked back and forth between Lili and me in surprise.

I guessed what she was thinking, but I didn't tell her that Lili was not my girlfriend.

We exchanged phone numbers.

Later, she told me that when she corresponded with me and talked on the phone, she was attracted by my voice, coupled with the great achievements of others in my letter, the proud Sue showed off to her classmates what an excellent and charming pen pal she had made , Because of this, at the instigation of people around her, she proposed to meet.

Unfortunately, I broke her fantasy, and I suddenly appeared at her school gate, which made her very scared, fearing that her cowhide would be punctured, and she would be laughed at from then on.

In fact, if she didn't tell me this, I would have already realized it.

In the eyes of women, appearance is always more important than charisma.
