Chapter 19 - Promise me to do it

Zhuang Ziang and Su Yudie sat on the grass, staring blankly at the sky, envious of the clouds.

Occasionally, a few butterflies flew by in their sight.

"I wish I were a little butterfly, so I could fly to the other side of the river and see the scenery over there." Su Yudie sighed.

"We can fly a kite and let it help us see." Zhuang Ziang suggested with a smile.

"Good idea, you are so smart." Su Yudie said in surprise.

"You just said I was a big fool." Zhuang Ziang asked, "Then I will buy a kite now?"

Su Yudie looked at the position of the sun, shook her head and said, "It's too late today, I have to take the bus later."

"Can't I go back later?" Zhuang Ziang was a little disappointed.

"No, grandma will be angry if it's late."

Judging from Su Yudie's tone, her grandma seems a little strict.

She must take the bus on time at 6:10.

"Little butterfly, tomorrow is Saturday, no class, let's come here to fly a kite!" Zhuang Ziang compromised.

"Okay, let's meet at Xishan Park tomorrow morning." Su Yudie agreed immediately.

The sun in the sky was getting redder and redder, hanging above Xishan.

The sudden ringing of the mobile phone broke the quiet atmosphere.

Zhuang Ziang picked it up and saw the word "Dad" on the screen.

After staring at it for more than ten seconds, he swiped to answer the call.

"Dad, what's wrong again?"

"Zhuang Ziang, your brother is fighting with his classmates at school. This is a bit troublesome. Come over immediately." Zhuang Wenzhao's tone was stiff and commanding.

"Isn't it common for him to fight with others? What does it have to do with me?" Zhuang Ziang felt puzzled.

"I heard that the head teacher of the student who fought with him was your Chinese teacher in elementary school. If you come over and say a few good words, this matter will be reduced to a small matter." Zhuang Wenzhao patiently explained.

It turned out that the elementary school that Zhuang Yuhang attended was also Zhuang Ziang's alma mater.

As an outstanding student that only comes out once every few years in the school, many teachers still have an impression of Zhuang Ziang.

This time, Zhuang Yuhang had a fight with a student from another class and broke his nose.

The student's parents were both out of town, but the head teacher was relentless and insisted that Zhuang Wenzhao give an explanation.

When Zhuang Wenzhao learned that the teacher had taught Zhuang Ziang, he immediately played the emotional card.

Unexpectedly, the teacher didn't buy it at all and thought he was talking nonsense.

How could the same family raise such completely different children like Zhuang Ziang and Zhuang Yuhang?

Zhuang Wenzhao wanted to prove that he was Zhuang Ziang's father. He searched for a long time in his mobile phone album, but couldn't find a photo of Zhuang Ziang.

In desperation, he had to bite the bullet and call Zhuang Ziang to ask him to come over.

"He hit someone, you should compensate if you should, and apologize if you should. I'm very busy now and don't have time to come."

After Zhuang Ziang found out what happened, he refused.

Zhuang Yuhang made a mistake, why can he not accept the punishment?

On the other end of the phone, Zhuang Wenzhao was furious.

"Zhuang Ziang, I raised you so big, don't you have a little gratitude?"

"Yuhang is your younger brother, he got into trouble, you as a brother don't help?"

"You read so many books, but you don't even understand the basic principles of being a human being."

...

"You should discuss the basic principles of being a human being with your precious son, I won't get involved." Zhuang Ziang ignored Zhuang Wenzhao's chattering and decisively hung up the phone.

When the phone called again, he directly turned on the do not disturb mode.

Zhuang Wenzhao was so angry that he almost smashed his phone.

In the past, Zhuang Ziang obeyed him and accepted everything he said.

Why is he so rebellious these days?

Zhuang Ziang and Su Yudie sat on the grass until nearly six o'clock, then got up and climbed up the stone steps step by step.

Time is really a wonderful thing.

A math class lasts 45 minutes, and Zhuang Ziang would find it particularly difficult.

But sitting with Little Butterfly, even if he does nothing, two hours will pass in the blink of an eye.

When he arrived at the bus stop, there were already students waiting for the bus after school.

As soon as Su Yudie appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of all the boys.

This girl is so beautiful.

It seemed that the air around her became sweet.

Zhuang Ziang felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to take a big mask to cover her face.

The No. 19 bus slowly drove from the corner of the street, which meant that they were about to part.

Although they could see each other again tomorrow, they still felt reluctant.

Zhuang Ziang said: "I will wait for you in the park tomorrow, you must come!"

"Of course I will come, if you don't believe me, let's make a pinky promise." Su Yudie stretched out her little finger on her right hand.

Zhuang Ziang frowned. He was already 18 years old. Wouldn't it be a bit childish to make a pinky promise?

So many people are watching!

"Hurry up!"

Su Yudie couldn't wait and grabbed his hand.

The two of them hooked their little fingers together.

"Pin the promise and never change it for a hundred years!"

Su Yudie muttered to herself, and did not forget to use her thumb to print it again, which was very ritualistic.

Pinning a promise is the most noble spirit of contract between children.

In the adult world, there are countless legal and moral frameworks to constrain people to keep their promises, but they are still full of betrayal and inconsistency.

As long as the children have made a promise, they will not break their promises.

The bus stopped at the station and students got on the bus one after another.

Su Yudie deliberately waited until the last one, so that she could sit with Zhuang Ziang for a while longer.

"Goodbye, little butterfly."

"Goodbye, big fool."

Zhuang Ziang watched the bus go away, and the red taillights disappeared, and then he retracted his sight.

He stared at the bus stop information of No. 19, guessing at which stop the little butterfly would get off.

It was not until he could hardly recognize the words that he felt bored and turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, a black car stopped beside him.

The car window rolled down, revealing Lin Mushi's face.

After meeting Little Butterfly, Zhuang Ziang felt that this face looked more and more ordinary.

"Zhuang Ziang, tomorrow is Saturday, I have nothing to do."

Lin University School Beauty thought that as long as he said this, Zhuang Ziang would take the initiative to invite her.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Ziang said lightly: "Just do some homework at home, your grades have dropped a lot recently!"

Lin Mushi was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't expect Zhuang Ziang to be so disrespectful.

I've given you a way out, but you still won't give up?

"Xie Wenyong invited me to watch a movie tomorrow." Lin Mushi added.

"Oh, then you have fun." Zhuang Ziang said casually.

Lin Mushi didn't hear the answer she wanted, and she was completely confused.

Zhuang Ziang, what's wrong with you?

Didn't you give up halfway just because I didn't agree to your pursuit right away?

Last time I said you had no chance, it was just an impulsive and angry remark, can't you hear it?

I am so kind-hearted, as long as you persevere and let me see your sincerity, you still have a great chance of catching me.

"You can't park on the side of the road, you should leave now!"

Zhuang Ziang said this and walked away.

Lin Mushi was disheveled in the wind, feeling the frustration of a spare tire losing control.
