Chapter 72: Tan Jiao 10 (1)
I have lived in a disorganized manner lately and was definitely not up to the ‘Enjoy our lives and not waste it on sorrows’ post.
That was why, on this day, I felt extremely depressed. In fact, I began to despise everything sorrowful, even love. After taking a hot shower, I changed into a cooling dress, put on some makeup, and went to find Zhuang Yu for dinner.
This was probably what Lu Xun meant when he said that if a person did not explode silently, they would become perverted.
Zhuang Yu and I met up at her school's front gate.
She was pretty out of luck recently. It was her summer vacation, but she still had a mountain of projects to finish. I had asked her out several times, but on multiple occasions, she replied, “I’m very busy with all the tests that've been going on.”
Finally, she took some time out to have dinner with me, but she had a haggard appearance. Wearing a black T-shirt, hair as messy as a bird’s nest, with a pile of paperwork in her arms. Originally, I had wanted to vent to her about all the sad things in my life, but when I saw her drained appearance, I did not feel like it anymore.
The two of us sat down and immediately ordered some food, seeing how pathetic the two of us seemed.
While waiting for the food to come, Zhuang Yu continued with her work. Of course, I did not forget about the main thing I wanted to talk to her about: that strange event that seemed like a deep well in my life now. Looking at the friends I had, only Zhuang Yu seemed to be someone I could rely on. She was knowledgeable about Sci-Fi, time travel, and stuff like quantum mechanics.
Lowering my voice, I told her, “I need to talk to you about something really strange.”
