Reunion and Renovation

If the voice didn't sound familiar and was spoken in the local dialect, Zachary almost thought it was a scam call.After thinking for a while, the girl on the other end of the phone said angrily, "No way, have you really forgotten me?"Hearing this familiar, coquettish, and angry voice, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind. Zachary raised his lips and said, "No, I know you're Penny Rogers, but I didn't expect you to call me. I was a little surprised!"Penny Rogers: "Daniel gave me your number. Aren't you looking for someone to modify the lines and renovate? I've now opened a decoration company in partnership with others, and I can also take on your business."Zachary suddenly realized. Penny went on to say, "Where are you now? I'll come to your house tomorrow to see how you want to decorate your place."Zachary glanced at the spiritual energy that filled the room and said, "It's not convenient these days. Let's go in a few days. I'll call you then."Penny: "Isn't that an excuse?"Zachary: "No!"Penny: "Okay, call me when the time comes! By the way, I heard that you broke up with the girl from Class 4?"The girl from Class 4 refers to Zachary's ex-girlfriend. They used to be high school alumni. Liz Young had been pursuing Zachary since high school, so many people in the high school class knew about it.Zachary: "Yeah, what's the matter?"Penny said, "I don't quite understand, how could she be willing to give up such a good boy like you."Zachary laughed and said, "Are you talking about yourself?"Penny also giggled, "Yeah, I almost forgot, I was the first girl to dump you. If I say now that I was just young and ignorant at that time, do you believe it?"Zachary looked at the sunlight shining through the shade of the trees outside the window and smiled, "I believe it, there is nothing to doubt about it, we were both young back then!"Zachary and Penny started dating in the third year of junior high school, but in the second year of high school, Zachary's parents died in a car accident while on a business trip. Zachary's personality became very extreme after that. In addition, he was indeed young at the time, and he didn't know how to back down or think about the other person, plus some other reasons, so the two eventually broke up.After the two broke up, Zachary's personality became more extreme. At this time, Liz Young began to pursue Zachary. No matter how bad Zachary's temper was, no matter how badly Zachary treated her, Liz endured it silently, and often secretly found a place to wipe her tears. Zachary's extreme personality was softened by Liz's gentleness little by little. This is also the main reason why Zachary became so depressed after Liz cheated.On the fourth day, there was no more spiritual energy in the house. Zachary called Penny and asked her when she was free to come and take a look. Penny said at the time that she would come and take a look now, and then make a design sketch. After Zachary was satisfied, she would renovate the place where she lived according to the design.Zachary's house was a bit remote. When Penny drove there, it was already two hours later. When she saw Zachary who came to pick her up at the entrance of the village, the first sentence was: "Wow, how did you become so handsome!"Zachary smiled and ignored him. He just led the way in front and took her to his door.Indeed, Zachary was originally a very attractive guy. Now, after the marrow washing, his skin became extremely white and tender, and after being struck by lightning... Uh, why does this sound so wrong? Oh, it should be that after gaining spiritual energy, the whole person looks elegant and incomparable, or fairy-like. That's why Penny said this when they met.After Penny arrived at Zachary's house, she was a little surprised to see such a big house and said, "I didn't expect you to be a big landlord. Your house is so big."Zachary replied, "Houses in the mountains are not worth much, and this house was built by my parents."Penny knew about Zachary's parents, so she didn't continue talking about this topic. She just walked around the house a few times, and said with a sigh, "The scenery around you is really nice, with a stream in front and bamboos in the back. It's quite poetic."After reaching the roof, she looked up at the sky and turned around a few times, then shouted, "Ah, I like it here so much." She turned to look at Zachary who had been following her and asked, "I fell in love with this place at first sight. What should I do?"Zachary touched his nose, smiled foolishly, and said nothing.Penny rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why, do you still remember the hatred for me dumping you back then?"Zachary hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, I was wrong back then. It's normal for you to ignore me. It's just that I'm a useless person now and I just want to stay at home alone. I'm afraid you won't be used to such a life!"Penny curled her nose and said, "You also know that you were an asshole back then. But I also admire the girl from Class 4 for being able to endure it. You must have bullied her a lot, didn't you? It's just that she gave up everything to pursue you back then, so why did she bear to leave you?"Zachary has now come out of the state of heartbreak and has the courage to face the lost love. He said, "After my parents got into trouble, I became cynical and a scumbag in terms of feelings, a big asshole. So for you at that time, I was... I did something wrong."Penny smiled and said, "Of course it was wrong. I was only sixteen at the time, and you actually wanted to do that to me. I slapped you in the face, which was not a big deal."Zachary smiled bitterly, nodded, and said, "Yes, when she was chasing me later, she really didn't care about anything. I was really a piece of shit at that time. Later I heard that she went to the hospital alone twice."Penny sighed and said, "Many people in the school know that she was willing to give up everything to chase you."Zachary turned his head and looked at the treetops that appeared next to him, and said, "Yes, when I got out of that situation later, I decided that she was the one I was destined to spend my life with, but, hey."Penny felt a little emotional after hearing this, but still asked curiously, "Then why did you break up?"Zachary glanced at her and said, "Maybe, she got tired of it, so they separated naturally!"Penny glanced at Zachary with a smile, and did not continue the topic. She changed the subject and said, "Your skin is so good now. I really want to pinch it. It feels like water can come out if I pinch it."Then she looked at the scenery around and said with emotion, "The scenery here is really good. Zachary, you can try to open a homestay or something like that. "TikTok" and the like are very popular now. You can try to shoot some videos and upload them. In addition, your house is so big, it will definitely be very popular!"Zachary shook her head. This guy is still the same as in high school. He likes to beat around the bush when he has any requests. She wants to stay here for a few nights, but she is embarrassed, so she can only remind herself in this roundabout way.Seeing that Zachary ignored her, Penny pouted and said, "I have taken a lot of photos of your house. The design draft will be ready in the next two days. I will send it to you directly then." Then she went downstairs.
