AWB Chapter 219 One Step Too Late
Chapter 219 One Step Too Late
When Jiang Zhouzhou was less than a year old, her parents separated. As for the reason for the separation, everyone had their own version, but it was all very unseemly.
When she grew up, she realized that it wasn't something shameful, but rather that campus romance had been defeated by reality.
The male is the school heartthrob, the female is the school beauty, a perfect couple envied by everyone on campus. But after they got together, their love was worn down by the daily grind, and they eventually went their separate ways.
Her so-called love child ultimately became a burden that no one wanted...
"Knowing that she's doing well now, I can finally rest easy!"
"After my father remarried, he stopped sending money home, so I had no choice but to shamelessly ask them for it..."
Her father didn't care, so her grandmother forced her to call her mother to demand child support.
But every time she opened her mouth, she was met with a barrage of insults.
Jiang Zhouzhou thought her mother was having a bad time after remarrying, so she felt guilty when asking for child support and stopped calling her afterwards.
I only call her during holidays, just to hear her voice.
On her eighteenth birthday, she received her first phone call from her mother...
"You're an adult now, I have no responsibility or obligation to you anymore, and I don't need you to support me in my old age. From now on... let's not contact each other again."
After that phone call, they never contacted each other again.
After saying this, Jiang Zhouzhou smiled with bright eyes and said, "But it's okay! Lots of people like me now..."
He stretched out his hand and boasted to Yin Yue, "I have more than two million fans who like me."
Yin Yue tightened his grip on her hand. He wanted to say something, but his voice was too soft and was carried away by the wind.
Jiang Zhouzhou asked blankly, "What did Brother Yin Yue just say?"
Yin Yue lowered his eyes and smiled: "I said... I'm also one of the more than two million fans."
Jiang Zhouzhou stopped in her tracks, raised her head to look into his eyes, and said earnestly, "Brother Yin Yue is my first fan, and also my most important fan."
I lifted my foot and continued walking forward, but the person beside me suddenly stopped moving.
“Zhouzhou, you don’t need to be sensible in front of me.”
Jiang Zhouzhou stared blankly for a moment, then was pulled into a warm embrace, the intense heat instantly making her cheeks burn.
"Don't bottle up things that make you unhappy."
"If you've suffered any injustice, you should speak out."
“Our Zhouzhou also has the right to be spoiled and willful.”
"If you are bullied, someone will stand up for you."
"Even if you want to do bad things, someone will cover for you."
"Just do what you want to do..."
He gently patted her back again and again, treating her like a little child.
Jiang Zhouzhou raised her hand and wiped her sore eyes with the back of her hand. Why is everyone... so nice!
That's so good it's unfair!
With her gaze fixed on the park not far away, Jiang Zhouzhou said in a low voice, "Brother Yin Yue, I want to play that."
She pointed to the slide in the park, something she had always wanted to do... but was too embarrassed to do.
In the past, when she saw parents playing this with their children, she couldn't help but stop and watch for a couple more seconds.
There are also kiddie rides and trampolines at the entrance of the mall...
It seems that what is missing in childhood can become an obsession in adulthood.
Yin Yue smiled indulgently and said, "Okay, let's go play this."
The children's slide in this public area wasn't very high, and Yin Yue brushed away the fallen leaves on it one by one.
Jiang Zhouzhou's bright eyes sparkled with excitement and joy as she quickly stepped onto the stairs.
Looking down from above, the slide, which was not tall to begin with, suddenly seemed much taller, making her instinctively want to back away.
But looking at Yin Yue standing below, Jiang Zhouzhou squatted down and slowly lowered her legs.
Before she could react, she slid down.
She stared blankly at Yin Yue, feeling no sense of satisfaction as she had imagined, but it was as if something missing in her heart had been filled.
Yin Yue squatted down in front of her, his head pressed against her forehead, their breaths almost mingling.
"Did you not feel anything the first time and want to do it again?"
Feeling seen through, Jiang Zhouzhou gave a soft "hmm".
They tried again, and finally, joyful laughter rang out. Even the bleak wind seemed to be infected, causing the fallen leaves to swirl in the air like countless withered leaf butterflies dancing in the sky.
Not far away, in a dark corner where the streetlights couldn't reach.
The man wearing the black baseball bat pulled down the brim of his hat, trying to block out the sound, but he couldn't stop it from reaching his ears.
I really wanted to rush over and separate them, but my legs felt like lead, and I stood rooted to the spot.
She was laughing so happily, how could he bear to disturb her!
Zhou Xian, even you have a day when you're weak.
After resolving the problem, he rushed back from the hospital, eager to comfort a crying child, only to find that someone had gotten there before him.
He felt like a despicable pervert, shamelessly following behind the two men and spying on their every move.
After standing there for an unknown amount of time, until the surroundings returned to silence, Zhou Xian moved his cold, stiff fingers.
I walked to the slide in the center of the park, and like a childish little devil, I sat on it and slid down.
The imagined happiness didn't happen, and I don't know what Jiang Zhouzhou had to be happy about, that she could laugh so joyfully.
I leaned back and lay on the slide, looking at the dark night sky.
The raised fingers tried to grasp the lingering joy in the air.
But when the wind blows, everything scatters.
