He Lele instantly became happy, looking at Yan Cheng with his nostrils flared, truly childish.
Yan Cheng thought something big was happening. Knowing what Wang Muman would say, he felt bored and turned to play basketball again, though he was still somewhat expectant.
Time passed day by day, classes came and went, meals and sleep followed, the bell rang repeatedly, and days were spent in repetition. However, each day brought new things to notice, and each day was worth cherishing.
The sunlight outside was brighter, the trees were lush, and the air was filled with a vibrant atmosphere, hot and seemingly imbued with an encouraging power.
The college entrance examination, besides freeing the graduating students, also allowed students in the first and second years to enjoy holiday happiness, though a final exam would follow the break.
For students who were always calculating when the holidays would begin, this was probably a godsend, an opportunity to be seized tightly.
During this holiday, Wang Muman not only reviewed but also decided on the question that had been with her for a month.
Since it wasn't the weekend, Wang Mujin hadn't returned, and Wang Muman wasn't in a hurry; there was plenty of time during the summer break.
The house remained quiet, with only the aunt next door occasionally bringing meals; no one else was around. Wang Muman became more resolute in her decision, at least not being alone anymore. xxs壹贰
After dinner, Wang Muman went out for a walk. Many people were exercising on the small path. Further on, there was a small lake park, also a good place for running and exercising.
People passed by constantly, elderly folks, uncles and aunts, but few young people were out, likely resting and entertaining themselves at home. Wang Muman had earphones in, listening to English songs, her heart gradually relaxing, her steps becoming lighter.
The small lake park, of course, had a small lake. As dusk fell, the streetlights began to illuminate. Walking to the lakeside, Wang Muman saw a young couple. The girl was acting spoiled, tugging at the boy's clothes. Wang Muman turned away, not wanting to know what was happening.
In the center of the lake was a small pavilion, very cool in the summer. Wang Muman intended to walk towards it but was blocked.
"Wang Muman, it really is you!" a male voice called out.
Wang Muman looked up and saw several people in front of her, looking somewhat familiar.
"I'm Yu Sheng, your classmate from junior high. You can't have forgotten me so quickly, Miss School Beauty." The boy struck a pose, making Wang Muman immediately recognize him.
Several classmates beside him eagerly introduced themselves, and Wang Muman recognized them all as former classmates.
"I didn't expect you guys to have a reunion." Wang Muman looked at them; they were all people she had hung out with in junior high.
"We live nearby, so we arranged to take a walk and chat," a girl said, coming up beside Wang Muman. This was a girl Wang Muman knew relatively well.
"Since we're meeting by such coincidence, why don't you join us? We see you're alone, so come walk with us," the girl invited Wang Muman warmly.
Wang Muman nodded, and immediately, someone exclaimed, "Walking with Miss School Beauty is a great fortune in life!"
It was Yu Sheng's remark. He was very artistic and lively, the "joker" of the class.
Walking together, it became much livelier. The group shared amusing stories from their current schools and reminisced about junior high. Wang Muman often couldn't help but laugh. She could barely remember things from junior high, but recalling them, there seemed to be a few genuinely happy moments.
Time passed quickly, and everyone went their separate ways. Wang Muman returned home and began to read her diary, as the evening had made her feel that reminiscing was also a beautiful thing.
