The sky was clear and the white clouds were floating.
Zhuang Ziang and his new friend Su Yudie had a lot of snacks for lunch.
Sitting on a bench in the mall, basking in the afternoon sun.
Su Yudie's azure blue pleated skirt was blown by the breeze, revealing two snowy lotus-like calves.
Her two feet swayed up and down, looking very restless.
"Zhuang Ziang, aren't you going back to school for classes in the afternoon?" Su Yudie looked up at the sky.
"No." Zhuang Ziang answered decisively.
Going shopping with a girl is much more interesting than attending classes in the classroom.
This was the first time he had been a bad boy since he was a child, and he felt very excited.
Although skipping classes might be commonplace for other students.
"Where are we going this afternoon?" Su Yudie leaned towards Zhuang Ziang.
The girl's faint body fragrance went straight into her nostrils.
Unknowingly, the two of them went from strangers to "us".
Zhuang Ziang thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you like reading?"
Su Yudie frowned and shook her head repeatedly: "No, especially math books."
"I'm not talking about textbooks, but extracurricular books." Zhuang Ziang explained.
"I like them quite a lot, comic books and joke books." Su Yudie raised a nice arc at the corner of her mouth.
"Well, let's go to the library to read in the afternoon!" Zhuang Ziang stood up.
This place is only one street away from the city library.
Since it is a weekday, there are usually not many people, which is very suitable for enjoying a relaxing afternoon.
Passing by a convenience store, Su Yudie pulled Zhuang Ziang's clothes: "Can I bring food to the library?"
"Of course not." Zhuang Ziang raised his voice.
This is really a little foodie, no wonder he is so strong.
Su Yudie looked at the glass window of the convenience store: "Candy is not allowed? I can eat secretly."
Zhuang Ziang pondered: "Candy, it should be okay!"
"Great, go buy it." Su Yudie was as happy as a child.
Zhuang Ziang walked into the store and bought a bag of fruit hard candies with various flavors.
After all, they just met, and he still couldn't figure out the girl's taste preferences.
Arriving at the library, Zhuang Ziang found "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" on the bookshelf and planned to continue the plot of the morning.
Although the TV series has been remade countless times, the unique charm of the text is still irreplaceable by images.
When he went to the reading area, Su Yudie was already sitting at the table, holding a children's version of "Humorous Jokes" in her hand, with a smile on her lips.
Although the library needs to be kept quiet, whispered conversations are still allowed.
"Wow, the book you read is so profound." Zhuang Ziang deliberately teased.
Su Yudie could tell that he was speaking sarcastically, so she said disapprovingly, "Life is good as long as it is happy, why should it be so profound?"
"That makes sense. The more knowledge you know, the happier you may not be." Zhuang Ziang agreed.
"That's right. Whether you are a scientist, a thinker, or a philosopher, you will all die in the end." Su Yudie said casually.
As a young person, she has no taboos about the word "death".
Zhuang Ziang was stunned at first, then said to himself, "Well, I am also a dying person."
The afternoon sun shone in from the window, spreading a warm yellow color on the ground.
The breeze gently blew the pages of the book, and the scent of ink floated in the air.
In three moves, Xiao Feng forced back the three great masters of the time, and he shouted with heroic spirit, "Bring me some wine!"
Zhuang Ziang was immersed in the swordplay and the pleasure of revenge, and couldn't extricate himself.
I really want to be a heroic hero.
Suddenly, a silver bell-like laughter came from his ears, pulling Zhuang Ziang back to reality from the rivers and lakes.
"Keep your voice down, don't disturb others."
"Sorry, this joke is too funny, take a look."
Su Yudie handed the joke book to Zhuang Ziang.
"I am such a profound person, why do I tell you such a stupid joke?" Zhuang Ziang said with disdain.
"Take a look!" Su Yudie begged like a spoiled child.
Zhuang Ziang dealt with it and glanced at it.
Just these two glances made him embark on a road of no return.
"Hahahaha..."
Unconsciously, the two heads came together and read the children's enlightenment phonetic book "Humorous Jokes".
The laughter of fools came one after another.
Su Yudie's laugh point is very low, and she can laugh at ordinary jokes.
Zhuang Ziang asked himself, usually he is a person with a high laugh point, but when he sees the smiling face of the girl next to him, he can't hold it back.
He was afraid that laughing too loudly would affect others' reading, so he had a hard time holding back.
"Zhuang Ziang, take out your candy, I want to eat one." Su Yudie asked.
Zhuang Ziang took out the candy from his pocket and tore open the package: "There are strawberry flavor, lychee flavor, and apple flavor. Which one do you want?"
"Please help me choose, I like them all."
Foodies are not picky eaters.
Zhuang Ziang casually took out a lychee-flavored candy and handed it over.
Su Yudie opened the candy wrapper and couldn't wait to put it in her mouth: "It's so sweet, you eat one too."
"I'm such a big man, and I still eat candy?" Zhuang Ziang stretched out his tone.
Su Yudie directly opened one and put it in his mouth, and said disdainfully: "You're so nagging."
This candy is strawberry flavored, and it is really sweet.
But no matter how sweet it is, it can't be sweeter than the girl's smile.
Zhuang Ziang completely forgot his dream of becoming a hero, and just accompanied Su Yudie to read joke books.
Like two idiots, they sought the purest happiness.
He raised his head to move until his neck became so crooked that he couldn't stand it anymore.
Time passed like petals falling one by one.
The shadow of the sun on the ground became more and more oblique.
When he was in class before, Zhuang Ziang felt that the afternoon time was particularly difficult, but today from noon to sunset, it seemed like a snap of the fingers.
Looking at the sunset outside the window, Su Yudie asked, "What time is it?"
Zhuang Ziang took out his mobile phone and saw, "Five-thirty."
"I want to go back to school and take the six-ten bus." Su Yudie stood up quickly.
"Then I'll take you!" Zhuang Ziang sorted out the books and returned them.
The two left the library and walked towards the school.
Passing by a dessert shop, Su Yudie stopped again and stared at the exquisite cakes in the window.
"No way, are you a starving ghost reincarnated?" Zhuang Ziang said in surprise.
"No, no, you said you have a bad relationship with your brother, why not buy him a cake, children like to eat cake." Su Yudie said sincerely.
If someone else made such a suggestion, Zhuang Ziang would definitely refuse it outright.
He knew very well what kind of people his stepmother and brother were.
But when he met Su Yudie's gaze, he couldn't bear to say the words of refusal.
This girl was sincere and wanted to help him ease the relationship with his family.
She believed that the warmth of human nature could overcome the indifference of the world.
In the end, under Su Yudie's suggestion, Zhuang Ziang bought a strawberry cake.
The price was a little expensive, which was quite distressing.
The two walked to the bus stop at the school gate, and the No. 19 bus just drove over.
"Zhuang Ziang, goodbye." Su Yudie waved and jumped on the bus.
"Goodbye, my friend." Zhuang Ziang also waved.
But only he could hear his voice.
What an interesting girl.
Oops, I forgot to leave her phone number.
The bus went farther and farther away and finally disappeared in the traffic.
