Back To the Past To Fall In Love

Chapter 7



Chapter 7: This Evening

It’s a little embarrassing to say, but when Xu Ziran saw this love letter, he was still a little excited.

She does remember being a popular type from her school days, and she received quite a few love letters.

But after all, she was a student a long time ago, and she hadn’t received a love letter for a long time.

She smiled with some inexplicable pride, thought about it, and locked the door of the room first, then turned on the lamp, and opened the letter.

Before she opened the letter, she was triumphant, but after opening the letter, her smile froze, her whole body seemed to be covered with cement, unable to move.

From the “Dear Ranran” in the first line, Xu Ziran recognized it.

The person who wrote this letter is Tian Jiaqi.

After knowing her name, her classmates and friends started to call her “Cumin”. Tian Jiaqi also called her Cumin, but in private, just like her parents and relatives, they called her “Ranran”.

Before the age of 20, Tian Jiaqi wrote all the characters tilted to the left. After the age of 20, she made up her mind to practice beautifully, so she bought a copybook and practiced for a whole year, and finally wrote a beautiful thin gold body.

It’s just that when you’re inadvertently, you still reveal your childhood habits.

As for the letter in front of him, the font is tilted to the left, like a row of flowers and plants bent by the wind.

Xu Ziran only read the beginning, then pressed the letter on the table, feeling that he couldn’t read it any longer.

At this time, she remembered that in high school, she was keen to play the game of sending letters to each other with Tian Jiaqi, probably because some words were difficult to express in words and could only be expressed in words.

They have been playing this game for five years. Even if the universities are in two places, and even if they have mobile phones and computers, they still maintain the frequency of one letter per month, which seems to belong to their little tacit understanding.

When does this game end?

Thinking about it now, it was when Tian Jiaqi began to fall in love during the first semester of her junior year.

The letter that would have arrived on this day in the past finally did not arrive. Xu Ziran remembered that she walked back and forth along the road with magnolias that day, and finally sat on the roadside in the dead of night and edited a text message to Tian Jiaqi.

She typed the sentence back and forth and deleted it, but finally only sent a few simple words—

Forget it, I’m very busy, so I won’t write any more letters.

Tian Jiaqi replied –

it is good.

Thinking about it now, the goodbye thing that night might not be as simple as a monthly letter.

After so many years, Xu Ziran saw such a letter again and felt as if he had seen something that had been lost for a long time.

She sat in front of the table in a daze, thinking of Tian Jiaqi, who hadn’t even notified her about her wedding at the age of 29, and Tian Jiaqi, who held back tears in front of her at the age of 15.

She remembered that Qiu Yurou was squatting in front of her and wiping her face with a wet towel, and said in a loud voice as if with anger, “Are you stupid, you are not the same people at all!”

In the end, a “ding” in her head interrupted her stun, and the system’s sweet female voice reminded her – “Dear host, please start studying quickly, if you can’t complete the evening limited task, you will encounter something you don’t want to happen. Punishment~”

Xu Ziran was so frightened that he shuddered, and he suddenly forgot about the sadness of the spring and the sadness of the autumn. He opened the system panel first to see what the punishment would be.

As a result, there were no other keywords except “you don’t want it to happen”. Xu Ziran went to see the evening assignment again, and saw a Chinese test paper, a math test paper, two English test papers, and a physics test paper…

– God will kill me!

Xu Ziran has one head and two big.

I don’t care about Chinese and English, maybe I can do it by flipping through the book. I’ve forgotten all about mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., okay?

Xu Ziran couldn’t help but complain in his heart, it’s fine to be a love system, why bother with studying.

But at this time, she had to do something to divert her attention, so she took out all the required test papers first, bit the pen and started doing it first.

Two hours later—

Xu Ziran squeezed the scrap paper into a ball.

What acceleration and deceleration particle momentum, has she really learned these things? ? ?

Xu Ziran threw the pen aside.

The one who can finish these exam papers tonight in a state of not knowing anything is not a human being, but a god!

Just reborn, can’t you give people some buffer time? !

Xu Ziran didn’t want to deal with the punishment anymore. She just wanted to overturn the table and ask God why she was thrown back to the first year of high school.

Isn’t it good to be a freshman?

She pushed the test paper to the side impatiently, and remembered the letter that had been thrown into the drawer.

I have to say that this letter also greatly interfered with Xu Ziran’s concentration. At least half of her mind was thinking: Should I read it? Let’s see that there won’t be a piece of meat.

Xu Ziran did some ideological work for a long time, and finally took out the letter and read it word by word.

“Dear Ranran:

It’s a pity that we still didn’t become the same table. If I knew that the teacher would sit with us that day, I would definitely go to the classroom earlier…”

He wrote a piece of paper eloquently, and talked about some trivial things in life in bits and pieces. The typos were blacked out and drawn into a heart. Xu Ziran remembered that this was Tian Jiaqi’s hobby.

Until the end of the letter, he said–

“…Tomorrow is your birthday, I will first wish you a happy birthday on paper, and remember to check your mailbox tomorrow morning, I have a surprise for you.

Love you +7”

Xu Ziran froze in front of the table for a long time, then came back to his senses and looked at the desk calendar on the table.

She remembered Qiu Yurou saying that today is February 23rd.

Tuesday, February 23, is the 16th day of the first month of the lunar calendar.

Tomorrow is the seventeenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, which is indeed her birthday.

Xu Ziran clenched his fists and his throat was slightly astringent, and suddenly felt that what he did today was really an asshole.

Fifteen-year-old Tian Jiaqi was preparing for her birthday, but she decided to part ways with her.

In the next ten years, they still have so many memories, but Xu Ziran actually decided to let them end earlier.

Xu Ziran looked at the envelope and saw the alarm clock on the table, suddenly remembered something, suddenly stood up from the chair, opened the door and ran out wearing slippers.

When she went downstairs, she stepped on the floor and slapped the floor. Mother Xu shouted in the room, “Ran Ran? What are you doing out there?”

Xu Ziran shouted, “Just at the door, look at Jiaqi.”

She opened the door and rushed out of the courtyard, stopping suddenly in front of the iron gate.

Just now, she remembered in the room.

On her fifteenth birthday, when she went home to do her homework, she read the letter and ran out, and saw Tian Jiaqi waiting at the door.

Tian Jiaqi said with a smile, “I know you can’t wait for tomorrow, so I’ll give it to you here.”

At that time, it was just late, it was seven o’clock in the evening.

And it’s half past nine.

Xu Ziran walked to the big iron door step by step, and then opened the door.

The night wind was more icy and biting than expected, mixed with the damp water vapor diffused from the ground, as if it could seep into the limbs through the thick soles.

Under the dim yellow street lamp, Xu Ziran saw Tian Jiaqi sitting on the ground against the wall, with her head lowered and her face buried in the scarf, like a quiet and lonely plant.

Probably because she heard the sound, she raised her head, her face was covered with still-dry tears, her breath turned white water vapor floating in the icy air, and she burped softly.

Tian Jiaqi didn’t seem to react, and said dumbly, “Why did you come out?”

Xu Ziran sighed helplessly: “If I don’t come out, my mother has to beat me to death.”

Tian Jiaqi sniffed: “I thought you ignored me.”

Xu Ziran rubbed her itchy nose, but she was just about to ignore Tian Jiaqi.

But right now, the words must not be said that way. Xu Ziran walked to Tian Jiaqi and squatted down, and said, “If I ignore you, you will not ignore me.”

It’s okay not to say these words. As soon as she said it, Tian Jiaqi pursed her lips, and tears poured out like a stream.

Xu Ziran panicked and was at a loss for what to do. Finally, he gently touched the bangs on the other’s forehead and said, “Okay, okay, I’m wrong. Okay, don’t cry. I said, you Stop crying. I was wrong, stop crying.”

Tian Jiaqi was crying and her words were vague: “But why are you ignoring me, what have I, what have I done…”

Xu Ziran was speechless.

Yes, fifteen-year-old Tian Jiaqi hasn’t done anything yet.

Ten years later, Qiu Yurou said that she and Tian Jiaqi were not the same, but Xu Ziran never figured it out, if they were not the same, what would they be like in the past 20 years?

– Blind eyes?

Those happy, contented, laughing memories weren’t fake, they had thought they would never be apart from each other.

Xu Ziran bit her lip, wiped Tian Jiaqi’s tears with the back of her hand, and couldn’t help asking, “Do you think one day we will be separated?”

Tian Jiaqi raised her head and looked at Xu Ziran with tears in her eyes, her face full of confusion: “Why do you think about this?”

Xu Ziran raised his hand and rubbed her head: “Yes, don’t think about it for now.”

She touched her pocket, but couldn’t find a tissue, but Tian Jiaqi saw Xu Ziran’s movements, took out a pack of tissues from her pocket, and began to wipe her tears and blow her nose.

Xu Ziran looked at Tian Jiaqi, whose nose was red and tears were still hanging on her eyelashes. She wanted to sigh again and asked, “Where’s my gift?”

Tian Jiaqi pursed her lips: “In the mailbox, I thought you wouldn’t come out.”

Hearing this, Xu Ziran felt a deep pain in her heart, stood up, opened the mailbox, and took out the beautifully packaged gift inside.

Of course she knew what was inside, but she still asked, “What is this?”

Tian Jiaqi was embarrassed: “Go back and dismantle it, it’s really cold outside.”

Seeing the other party’s pale cheeks and trembling body, Xu Ziran felt a flood of guilt, and quickly said, “Go back quickly and take a hot shower, or you will catch a cold like me.”

Tian Jiaqi glanced at Xu Ziran, probably because she was reconciled, she looked very happy, and the corners of her eyes were full of smiles.

“If you catch a cold, you must have caught it,” she said.

After saying that, he turned around and ran home.

The long camel scarf fluttered in the cold wind, and the fifteen-year-old girl was happy, and even her back seemed to be excited.

Xu Ziran looked at this scene with a complicated expression, suddenly remembered something, and her expression changed.

She hurriedly called out Tian Jiaqi in a loud voice.

Xu Ziran: “…Well, borrow me to copy the homework.”

It’s nothing if the system’s homework can’t be done. If the teacher’s homework can’t be handed in tomorrow, the world will become black.
