Chapter 46 Don't Want to Go My Way(1/2)
46
Zhang Wankun turned into the alley, walked to the square table in front of a breakfast shop and sat down.
Since this place is a bit remote, not many people come here to have breakfast, and they are all nearby neighbors.
When he was in high school, Zhang Wankun often took the bus alone to have breakfast here, then hiked by an video game city, and then walked a few minutes to the school.
Although the store has a small storefront, it tastes good. Zhang Wankun searched for a whole semester on the way from home to school and found that the breakfast here is the most suitable for her taste.
The owner of the shop is a couple. They are old and have worked here for many years. They used to support their children's schooling and were busy getting up early and working late. Now the children are already working. The old couple feels used to this life and continue working regardless of their children's dissuasion.
When he saw Zhang Wankun, the boss greeted: "Xiao Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you still the same?"
Zhang Wankun replied with a smile: "Yes, but I need two copies today."
"Okay, it'll be fine right away."
As he turned around, the boss's wife brought two bowls of steaming oil-noodle tea to the table, plus four vegetarian dishes.
Instead of going back immediately, she sat on a small stool and opened up the conversation.
"Girl, long time no see, you have lost weight. Are you very tired now? If you are fine, come here often to see. Your uncle and I are old and the children are rarely back a year. Oh, by the way, have you found a boyfriend? If not, the aunt will look for one for you and have a good character... I haven't seen you for a long time, and the aunt feels empty. I don't know how long this small shop can be opened, you said..."
As Zhang Wankun listened, her eyes were a little wet. She found that the boss's temples were gray. I remember the first time I came, the boss and his wife were still very young.
"Old woman, you are there to talk nonsense again, come and help." The boss shouted from the side.
"Oh, it's so long-lasting," the aunt complained, got up and patted Zhang Wankun's shoulder, "Eat quickly, if you don't have enough, I'll add it to you."
Every time she comes here, Zhang Wankun is alone. In three years of high school, she never let her family drive away. The old couple didn't know the identity of her daughter and thought Zhang Wankun was an ordinary child.
Li Zhishui walked a long way in the opposite direction, then turned back and got into the alley, and walked towards the food stall.
After sitting down, he picked up the bun and took a bite, and said, "Well, it tastes really good."
Zhang Wankun wiped his eyes and said, "Drink quickly, it will be cold soon."
At this time, Li Zhishui noticed the expression on Zhang Wankun's face, holding half a bun in his hand, and asked, "Why are you still crying? Is it the one on the bus..."
"No." Zhang Wankun interrupted.
"What is that," Li Zhishui asked urgently, "You should say it quickly."
Zhang Wankun frowned, tear a piece of bun skin and threw it into her mouth: "It has nothing to do with you, please don't ask."
Li Zhishui shook his head helplessly, stopped asking questions, picked up the cold oil tea in front of him and drank it in one sip.
When paying, the old couple refused to accept it, and Zhang Wankun did not insist anymore.
Li Zhishui, who was standing aside, couldn't figure out why Zhang Wankun didn't charge money for dinner.
Before leaving, the old couple watched Zhang Wankun leave.
"Miss, I'll come again if I have time in the future."
Li Zhishui turned around and smiled, then followed Zhang Wankun.
Walking along the roadside, it was an electronic game city. Zhang Wankun stopped and didn't say he could go in or couldn't.
Li Zhishui asked in wonder, "Why don't you leave?"
Zhang Wankun pointed to the door of the video game city next to him.
"Want to go in and play?"
Zhang Wankun nodded.
The video game city is still the same. Maybe it’s because of the weekend. It’s less than eight o’clock, and there are many children gathered in it.
Zhang Wankun walked to the bar and knocked three times.
"Here, what are you knocking?" A sound came out from somewhere, but no one was seen.
Then, a head poked out from behind the bar and stepped on the stool, which was not as high as Li Zhishui.
"Xiao Zhang, it's you. You haven't been here for a long time." The dwarf with small arms and hands said with a smile.
Zhang Wankun took out a hundred-dollar bill from his bag and handed it over to exchange it for game coins.
"Oh, what else do you want? I'll take it for you and play with it." The dwarf waved his hand and grabbed a handful of game coins from the box under the bar.
Although there are a lot of them, there are only a dozen.
"Thank you." Zhang Wankun picked up the game coins on the bar and walked inside, ignoring Li Zhishui beside him at all.
Zhang Wankun’s favorite thing to play is violent racing. Unfortunately, for three years, she couldn’t even pass the first level every time she played.
Maybe it's different this time. Zhang Wankun thought so, and threw in two coins, cheered up, turned the steering wheel, and when the time ran out, there was still half a lap to run. Not only did he have no hope of passing the test, he was even more regressive than before.
No, I have to do it again, so she started the car again.
Li Zhishui was anxious watching from the side and directed with joy.
"Go to the left, yes... Come on, yes, you need to slow down when turning, oh, that's so stupid..."
From beginning to end, Li Zhishui talked to himself alone, and Zhang Wankun didn't say anything at all, nor did he ask him to go up and try it.
There was a tuft of yellow-haired young man on his forehead, known as "a tuft of yellow". Seeing Li Zhishui dancing here, the girl playing racing next to him ignored him. She thought Li Zhishui was harassing the girl, so she ran over with two people.
"What are you doing? People are playing racing, why are you screaming?" A bunch of yellow said. The young man who looked pretty good looked was uncomfortable because he had a bunch of yellow hair and a big front teeth.
Zhang Wankun looked at the track on the screen in front and said without looking back: "A pinch of yellow, he is my friend."
Yipeng was stunned at first, and the sound was very familiar, then turned to the front and said in surprise: "Sister, why are you here? I haven't seen you for several years. Why, bring my boyfriend here to play?"
Zhang Wankun walked off the car at the end of the game, pinched a yellow face and said, "He, he is even further back than you."
Li Zhishui was confused and couldn't believe it. It was strange that Zhang Wankun knew such a person. He could still get along with each other and said something that made people unable to understand. What does it mean to be even more behind him? Is it not enough to be your boyfriend?
"Call me quickly." A bunch of yellow commanded the two younger brothers following behind him.
The two little kids shouted respectfully: "Sister."
Zhang Wankun generously handed the remaining game coins to a pinch of yellow and said, "I'm leaving, leave the rest for you to play."
A pair of yellow took the game coins and brought Zhang Wankun to the door with two little brothers.
"Sister, come often in the future."
Li Zhishui almost became a marginal figure. Since he got on the bus, he felt that today was not going smoothly, and the people and things he met were simply unreasonable.
"Just say whatever you want to say. There is no need to be so mysterious." Li Zhishui quickly chased after him and asked.
Zhang Wankun pointed to the school in front and said, "I won't follow you. If you can let the guard let you enter the school, I will tell you why?"
"What did you ask me to break into other people's school? What if they arrest me as a thief?" Li Zhishui hesitated, not wanting to make this bet.
"It's okay if you don't go, then you can go back." Zhang Wankun was just right.
Li Zhishui thought about it and walked up to it with his scalp. He didn't forget to turn around and point Zhang Wankun with his fingers.
When I arrived at the communication room, there was an old man sitting in it, wearing reading glasses, reading a newspaper.
Li Zhishui went up to knock on the window and said, "Old man, I think of going to the toilet inside. Can you open the door?"
Seeing someone outside, the old man inside opened the window and asked, "What did you say?"
"I thought about going to the toilet inside." Li Zhishui raised his voice.
"What do you want to do?"
“I want to go to the bathroom.”
"What place to go to? The police station, this is the school, the police station is opposite."
“I want to go to the bathroom.”
"Everyone said that the police station is opposite."
"I think……."
"Get out." The old man suddenly pulled the window up.
Zhang Wankun smiled not far away so much that he couldn't straighten his waist.
Li Zhishui glared at Zhang Wankun not far away, then looked at the communication room. The old man was obviously deaf, and he couldn't hear anything.
"Look at me." Zhang Wankun walked over and said, then knocked on the window.
The old man inside walked to the window impatiently and saw Zhang Wankun. He quickly took off his eyes, opened the door from inside, greeted Zhang Wankun in, and said, "Xiao Zhang, why are you here? Let the uncle see, I haven't seen you for a few years, and I've grown taller and become more beautiful."
"Uncle Gou, I want to sit in the school for a while, is that OK?"
"Yes, you can do it as long as you want." Uncle Gou said, turning his head to see Li Zhishui standing there, "Why haven't you left yet? Do you want to steal something?"
Zhang Wankun explained with a smile: "Uncle Gou, he is my friend. He was having fun with you just now."
Uncle Gou quickly reacted, with a smile on his face, waved his hand at Li Zhishui, and said, "You can go in too. If you want to go in, go in, don't tell me anything to go to the bathroom."
Li Zhishui smiled bitterly, "Uncle Dog, this old man is really interesting. He is quite happy to be scolded. He pretends to be deaf."
The school was on holiday today, and there were no people inside. Zhang Wankun wandered around a small flower bed and sat down.
Next to the flower bed is a small pool with a lot of fish in it. The fish have just had breakfast and are gathered together to rest.
