2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

The girl's face suddenly turned red, her hands tightly grasped the small satchel around her waist, and she trotted forward to meet him.

"Sister Xixue." Zhang Zitong first said hello to Zhang Xixue who looked back, and then his eyes were fixed on Yan Muyun's face, looking very excited: "Brother Yan... why are you here too?" ?”

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but be excited. After all, the other party had saved her life before. As a result, there were only a few contacts later, and then the catastrophe occurred in Menxia City, and then Yan Muyun seemed to have disappeared from the world and could not be found anywhere.

During those most difficult days, apart from Zhang Xixue's company, which gave her warmth and strength, there was only this elder brother who kept saying that he was in his fifties.

"I came back for a visit during the school holidays and happened to run into Xixue. I heard she said you had good news to announce, so I came with her." Yan Muyun smiled and said hello first, and then said half-jokingly: "Why? , so I should be able to hear this good news, right? Otherwise, I can just avoid it first."

Zhang Zitong quickly waved his hand and said: "Of course... I can listen, it's nothing."

In order to avoid this group of relatives who had little contact with each other on weekdays, and because he did not want to face the familiar but cold home every day, Zhang Zitong rented another house outside.

"I will come back often in the future, or if you want to go to Australia, you can come and play with me." The little girl's eyebrows were curved, and her smile looked like a happy red apple in the sun.

Zhang Xixue glanced over and sneered: "Oh, don't believe him. When we separate today, I might have to wait until you send an invitation when you get married before I can see him again."

Immediately she moved her gaze to the man sitting opposite, blinking her black and white eyes: "Then...Uncle Yan, what about you?"

Zhang Xixue smiled sweetly at this time and tilted her head slightly: "My company has a lot of business in Australia. Maybe I can go to you often."

Yan Muyun and Zhang Xixue were both slightly startled when they heard this, and glanced at each other subconsciously.

"I..." Zhang Xixue found that she could no longer make a sound, and even raising her hands became extremely difficult.

After a few months of living like this, with the company of friends and the guidance of school teachers, Zhang Zitong finally came out. But her studies had long been abandoned at this time, and she could only repeat her sophomore year of high school.

Zhang Xixue was a little confused and didn't understand why the other party suddenly became like this. She wanted to say that she just had a discomfort in her throat and coughed a few times, but then she caught a glimpse of scarlet at the edge of her vision.

"17 years old." Zhang Zitong replied: "But that agency has connections, and there is no problem if minors do not need a guardian's consent form."

During this period, Zhang Xixue would occasionally come to see her, but every time she would pretend to be cheerful in front of the other person, acting as if she had already emerged from the gloom, but in fact she was just to reassure the other person.

After exchanging a few words to learn about each other's current situation, Zhang Zitong finally got to the point. She took a deep breath and forced a smile on her face: "I will go abroad in three months, to Australia."

In the end, she even went to school less and less often, locking herself in that small rental house every day, and only going out to eat or go shopping occasionally with friends who came to visit her.

After that incident, the relationship between the two has always been very close, and they naturally know each other's hobbies well.

Yan Muyun first expressed congratulations, and then asked hesitantly: "You are this year..."

Zhang Zitong was a little confused and didn't understand what the other party meant. He didn't know why the topic turned to his marriage.

Yan Muyun kept a meticulous and polite smile, as if he didn't understand and didn't answer at all.

The last moment when his vision turned black was Yan Muyun's face of shock and anxiety.

"Really? That's great!" Zhang Zitong waved his fist and said excitedly.

It was not that no relatives came to visit her during this period, but what was suffocating was that almost everyone would intentionally or unintentionally bring up the issue of handling the estate of her father Zhang Zihao.

Seeing the girl looking over with a blank expression, Zhang Xixue put down her coffee cup, covered her mouth and explained with a smile: "He disappeared for such a long time without even replying to messages, and it was yesterday...cough...cough. ..yesterday......"

Nearly a year has passed since his father was killed by the "Punisher", but the police have made no progress, making Zhang Zitong gradually frustrated.

Under the human mask with a warm smile, there are greedy fangs that are always ready to eat up the little white rabbit.

Later, after learning that her father's younger brother, her second uncle, had come to school to look for her, Zhang Zitong, who had originally been unwilling to repeat another year of study, made up her mind and planned to go abroad.

During that time, Zhang Zitong's life was unprecedentedly fulfilling. He searched for information on the Internet, asked school teachers for relevant information, contacted many study abroad agencies, and finally made a fairly reliable plan for going abroad.

Zhang Zitong continued to explain: "I have already received offers from the Australian National University and the University of Melbourne...well, it means the admission notice...because my English is not bad, and I have found a reliable agent. , spent some money..."

She finally has a goal in life, which is to escape from here. Escape from this city that has no one to rely on, escape from the wolves who covet the things left by my father, and go to a new environment to start over.

Just a week ago, she received preparatory admission notices from two universities in Australia, and her horoscope was finally revealed.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and made a big picture without thinking: "I will definitely visit you when I am free in the future."

Zhang Zitong nodded, pulled out a stool and sat next to her.

Yan Muyun smiled. It could be seen that this girl had indeed come out. Both her words and demeanor were much more lively than before. This was undoubtedly a good thing.

At this time, the waiter had already brought two cups of coffee. Zhang Xixue moved one of them to her side, tilted her head and smiled and said, "I've already ordered it for you."

On the table, the rim of the coffee cup, and the lapel on his chest all seemed to have been splashed with fresh tomato sauce, which was a bit scary red.

"Sister Xixue? Sister Xixue, what's wrong with you?!" Zhang Zitong's voice suddenly became sharp, as if he was greatly frightened.

"Oh, oh..." Yan Muyun was originally worried about how such a little girl would stay alone abroad. Then he remembered that this kind of thing was actually not uncommon. At least as early as thirty years ago, he had heard that there were many people studying in high school alone abroad, including children of fifteen, sixteen or seven years old.
