To make He Yu regret - Chapter 16

In fact, when the two of them met for the first time, he showed his true side. If he was really timid, he probably wouldn’t dare to “disrespect” her.

Jiang Mingzhen looked a little distracted as she was lost in the past. 

“Don’t you want to get angry with them?” He Yu thought that she didn’t agree with his proposal.

Jiang Mingzhen wasn’t thinking about it, and nodded hastily. He Yu understood, “Then I will think of a way.” After a few days, he mysteriously showed up at her room. He Yu’s “thinking of a way” wasn’t just empty talks, he really thought of it carefully.

“I went to the vegetable market in the morning with my mother, and I found someone selling dried sweet potatoes.”

“Can you buy it for me!” Hearing those three words, Jiang Mingzhen’s spirit rose up immediately, “I have money in my piggy bank, and I have a lot of money.”

“No, I had to buy groceries with my mother in the morning, and I couldn’t buy them.” Without thinking about it, he refused. Rejection was normal. Jiang Mingzhen accepted the reality easily.

“Well, good boy.” She sighed. He Yu’s ‘ways’ didn’t end there.  Miss Jiang sighed every day. They used to love to solve jigsaw puzzles together, and she was no longer interested.

“I’ll give it to you to play.” She threw the new puzzle into He Yu’s arms and went back to her room for a nap. As she lay on the bed and was about to fall asleep, her door rang.

Jiang Mingzhen got up and opened the door. He Yu was outside.

“Would you like to go out? Let’s buy dried sweet potatoes at the vegetable market!” His tone was very anxious, “My mother just went out to the mall to buy things, and she told me that she won’t come back so soon.”

“What?” The sudden invitation to do bad things made Jiang Mingzhen a little confused, but she was immediately moved and even excited.

“Where is the vegetable market?”

“It’s far,” He Yu thought about it early in the morning, “Let’s go by bicycle.”

“Are you talking about my bicycle parked in the backyard? But, I can’t ride it.”

“I can!”

He Yu had a look that Jiang Mingzhen never understood. He was a kid who came out of the mountains. He climbed trees, caught birds, and fought. He spent most of the time with his father since he was a child. When he was in the village, He Yu had nothing to do with the word ‘good boy.’

His father firmly believed that boys must fall in order to be tempered. When he had nothing to do on the construction site, he taught his child to ride a bicycle, using his tattered adults cycle. He Yu was so short that he couldn’t step on the ground with his feet. He fell many times, and learned.

“Sit down.”　　

The little boy’s Mandarin wasn’t standard when he spoke loudly. He didn’t notice it at that moment. When he stepped on the childrens’ bicycle his face was bright. Jiang Mingzhen was taller and heavier than him. She sat trembling in the back seat and lifted her feet slightly off the ground.

The wind passed over her ear. He Yu kicked it off, stepped on the pedal and rode on smoothly. The bicycle moved! The speed got faster and faster!

“Is he so strong?” Jiang Mingzhen kept her eyes open and clasped the front seat with both hands, as she dared not relax at all. The docile puppy dog ​​who stayed at her house was suddenly released into the wild..

“We are going downhill.” He Yu said. The wind blew over Jiang Mingzhen’s forehead, and she saw with her eyes that the houses on the side retreated rapidly. They galloped across the slope, and the cool breeze followed the downward path of the bicycle, splitting the road, and dispelling all the summer heat.

The thoughts that she hid for all summer were blown by the wind, and gently and skillfully floated to her throat.

Jiang Mingzhen whispered, “I don’t want to go to preschool.”

“What did you say?” He Yu didn’t hear clearly.

“I…!” She became louder and said every word: “I don’t want to go to school!”

“Why?” He didn’t stop, he didn’t look back.

Jiang Mingzhen was rather open, “No one likes to play with me.”

He Yu replied: “I will also go to school.”

“What?” The wind was so strong that she leaned close to him to hear it.

“I will also go to school.” She heard it this time.

“Oh!”

He Yu would also go to preschool. There were many children in the preschool, which meant that there would be many children who would hate Jiang Mingzhen. She was never able to play with other people. But He Yu would also go to preschool, the same as Jiang Mingzhen.
