ch 4 Long Ago Dried Up Meadow

It’s not that I didn’t feel guilty, but love , I ran over to an abandoned building on the outskirts of town I cliarette butt dropped, a weak spark, hopelessly falling to the grass below

There was dirty rass

I told myself, “Bala, you’re not bad You’re just capricious”

One day after school, I walked out and suddenly saw Xu Yi

He was carrying a large backpack, leaning against the huge Chinese parasol tree at the school gate He watched as I approached, his eyes carrying a grief that he tried to hide but couldn’t hide

I walked over and brightly said, “Handsome, what’s up? You actually skipped class today?”

“I missed you, Bala” Xu Yi said with some difficulty, “I haven’t heard from you in two days”

I extended my hand and pinched his face “I’m sorry, baby I’ve been so busy the last two days”

“Busy hat?” he asked

“Busy hat… Hm, let me think” My eyes lifted up toward the sky, and I saw Blackie A very tall Blackie, with seven or eight boys behind hi out from the school

My heart skipped a beat

I wanted Xu Yi to leave quickly, but it was already too late Blackie’s gang surrounded us quickly He earing those dazzlingthere silently, was kind of scary He looked like a dog that would eat a person up

I nudged Xu Yi and said, “Go first”

Xu Yi didn’t move

Blackie said gruffly, “Could this be the pretty boy that you like? Bala, your taste is really getting harder and harder to understand”

“You dare touch him?” I asked Blackie “I’ll be done with you”

“Hahaha!” Blackie laughed to the skies “Li Bala, I just realized that you don’t fucking kno to love!”

“Yeah,” I said “I fucking got rid of you, so now all you have left is to be jealous! What are you going to do?”

“What can I do? I don’t want to do anything, I wouldn’t kno Even if I were going to do so, I wouldn’t tell you about it!” Blackie said in a rushed voice Such a tongue twister, but he actually said it so smoothly

“Leave!” I hissed out

Blackie’s crew looked at er all over their faces

Xu Yi stood next toheavily

My , should I call 110 (eet a teacher? Before I could figure things out, Blackie snapped his fingers, and with a defeated voice said, “Let’s go”

After he spoke, he was the first to turn around and walk away

I’d just gotten a hold onI never would have expected happened Xu Yi charged forward, wielding fists He caave Blackie’s shoulder a heavy blow And he shouted out, “Baldie, I’ you Don’t you dare bully Bala! I won’t let you bully her!”

Then, it was chaos

My poor, thoughtless child… It was eight against one, so you can guess the outcome

He was hit until his head was broken He ended up lying in the hospital for an entire week, and he also got punished by his school

In the end, ’s trust He finally stopped over at irl I knew you could do it”

The old woain Fro back

I said, “Little Yang, you should reward me I’ve led someone astray for you”

“Oh come on,” he said “Don’t tell me it was the first time”

But it really was the first ti approach me

There was a ht scent of fearments, body wash and shampoo, and all sorts of perfu’s scent On the balcony, there was a pink wind-chi air, you could hear a tinkling sound All of this ently, and ju it carefully Slightly embarrassed, I sat down on my bed and said, “Come here”

That’s hoas For a love that caave myself

This world has lied to o of any little bit of happiness that belongs to me

I could see ’s eyes Ah, how beautiful I was

When I woke up, I realized he was still sleeping

His eyes were closed, his breathing was even Long eyelashes fluttered Before then, I never knew that boys could have such long and pretty eyelashes I couldn’t help myself and reached out runt, before turning over and continuing to sleep I got up froown I saw a spot of red onand murky, like a map that suddenly had a new ined

To be honest, I didn’t think that it would hurt that much

I turned and headed to the bathroohtly haggard, but unable to resist happiness I squeezed the left side of hed out loud, shamelessly

In the mirror, I also saw an upside down clock My mother sent it from the US I don’t knohy she sent a clock, but I kneas very, very special I ree that had crossed thousands of miles, her face went purple with fury She pro, there caht, I slipped out back and brought it back quietly But since then, it’s had to suffer staying inside this sed only to me

Right now, it was telling ht

I suddenly felt very hungry I wasn’t sure if the sleeping boy would also be hungry, but I knew that I shouldto eat before he woke up I crept over to the door and walked out to the kitchen The refrigerator was shaerator? I slammed the door shut and went to check the rice cooker It was half full I took a sniff, and it smelled…edible

I decided to cook a pot pan of fried rice It would feedas well

Of course, I also had to feed my cat

I suddenly felt like I was a good, sweet girl, with such a sense of responsibility

Withood at I co in the pan, I found tietables from the backyard Just as I finished up, I heard the sound of keys being inserted in the door

My… That… Oh God

I quickly turned off the fire, ran to my room, and locked the door

After about aon my door, “Why did you close the door? Come out, come out! Do you hear me? Open the door!”

The fierce knocking woke up Zhang Yang I covered his naled for him to remain silent

With soan to pull on his shi+rt and trousers With even greater confusion, he looked at the a loudly on the door – oh, it should be that she was beating the door “Li Bala, come out! Don’t think that I don’t knohat you’re up to!”

Ithat he should leave that way

Zhang Yang took the hint He held my face in his hands, and forcefully sucked on my lips, before he turned to theand disappeared into the night

I quickly closed theThen I turned around and grabbed soazines to cover up , “Aren’t you tired? You’re not young anymore, you should watch out for your health”

The old woaze and posture was like those secret agents in American movies She scanned my room and asked, “Where is he?”

“Who?” I said
