Nice to meet you, please take care of me

Zachary thought to himself, "So the girl's name is Xie Xiaoxiao. This guy was right. Someone really took him for a fool, but it wasn't him, and that Xie Xiaoxiao!"

Seeing Yang Haiyang holding a drink as wine to toast him, Zachary found a cup, poured a little beer, clinked glasses with him, and said, "You get what you pay for. You paid so much money, so I must have corresponding services. Otherwise, who will come to me in the future? As for game, I have a few bamboo rats that I caught a few days ago and have been processed. You can take them back when the time comes!"

Yang Haiyang laughed and said, "Then I thank Brother Zhang." After drinking the drink, he raised his glass to Zachary and returned to his seat.

At this time, Da Zuanfeng, holding a big bamboo rat in his mouth, and Xiao Zuanfeng walked into the yard with the group of chicks. The group of students who were eating were surprised. Several of them immediately took out their mobile phones to take pictures of this scene.

Others were also talking about it:

"Damn, is this rat a spirit? It's so big? Where did this chicken catch the rat?"

"The rat is a bamboo rat. Bamboo rats are this big. There is a bamboo rat in this dish. I think it's not the rat that has become a spirit, but the chicken. This chicken is really big and can catch rats!"

"Didn't you notice that these two are roosters, and they are leading a group of chicks. Isn't this the job of a hen?"

Da Zuanfeng walked to Zachary with the big bamboo rat in his mouth and put it down. He clucked and ran back to the chickens. This made the students even more stunned.

"Damn, this chicken is really smart, it even knows to give the prey to its owner."

At this time, Xie Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Didn't you notice that the snake we encountered on the mountain was pecked to death by the big rooster just now? We thought it was a big bird at that time!"

Yang Haiyang also came over and said, "Brother, so this is how your game comes from. I will come here once a week in the future. Please save some game for me!"

Zachary laughed and said yes!

After lunch, the students who took it over were divided into several groups and acted separately. Those from the mountaineering association took tools and prepared to go to Yingshanhong to see if there was any place suitable for camping, and clean up the place by the way, so that they could go directly to camp at night.

Zachary thought for a moment and said to Penny, "Do you want to go see the rhododendrons together?"

Penny smiled and reached out to tuck the hair by her ear when she heard this, and said, "Okay! Let's go together!"

The two of them then followed the crowd and walked through the bamboo forest towards the back mountain. When they reached halfway up the mountain, there was a fork in the road. Zachary said to Penny, "Wait for me. I'll go over there and be back soon."

Penny felt strange and asked, "What place is over there? Why can't you take me there?"

Zachary smiled, but his smile was a little bitter. He said, "Over there is our Zhang family's cemetery. We're passing by here. I want to go see my parents and grandparents."

Penny was stunned for a moment, silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Let's go together."

Zachary looked at Penny deeply when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there!"

When they got there, Penny quietly watched Zachary worshiping at the graves of his parents and grandparents one by one, reaching out to grab her hair that was blowing everywhere in the mountain breeze. The resentment that had been suppressed in her heart for all these years just dissipated.

Then, Penny quietly followed Zachary to the top of the mountain. The two found a clean rock to sit down and looked at the red rhododendrons in the distance. Penny suddenly said, "I know the truth about what happened back then."

Zachary was shocked, but pretended to be indifferent. He turned his head to look at Penny and said, "What do you know? You said something like that out of nowhere."

Penny looked at the rhododendrons in the distance and said, "I subconsciously slapped you and told you to get out, but I regretted it as soon as I turned around. But you also know that I was proud of you back then. How could I possibly admit my mistake to you?"

Zachary grinned and said, "We have already talked about this, I was wrong. At that time, I did a lot of things that were wrong and hurt a lot of people. I apologize to you again!"

Penny ignored Zachary and continued, "I was very strong-willed at that time. During the day, I acted as if nothing had happened in front of my classmates, but in fact, I couldn't sleep all night. I regretted that I reacted too strongly at that time, and I was even more angry that you really ignored me."

Zachary was stunned for a moment, and said nothing more. He listened quietly to Penny talking about what happened that year.

"At that time, I couldn't eat every day. I lost more than ten pounds in ten days. As soon as I got home from school, I stayed in my room and refused to come out. Finally, my father had no choice but to pull me and tell me some things."

"We thought we had kept the matter between you and me a secret back then, but in fact, our parents had known about it for a long time. My father actually knew who you were and who your father was."

Zachary screamed, and Penny turned to look at Zachary, who was full of surprise, and said, "Surprised, right? I was also very surprised when I learned about your family background!"

"My father has always loved me the most, so that day he analyzed everything about you and your family to me one by one. He said that you might be protecting me by doing this!"

"So, I could understand that you left me at that time, but later I heard that you bullied girls everywhere. When I heard those things at that time, my heart ached and I was very angry!"

"At that time, I was full of resentment. Under that situation, I could understand that you left me, but what I couldn't understand was why you were messing around everywhere? I originally wanted to go back to find you, but because of the rumors about you, I never looked for you again."

"Later, I heard about you and the girl from Class Four. Then I heard that you were together. When I heard the news, my heart felt empty. No, I should say that I was full of complaints about you. However, I couldn't find a reason to blame you. It was then that I realized that I had really lost you!"

"But I really admire that girl in Class 4. She really loved you with everything she had. I asked myself at that time, could I do that? But I never dared to face the answer."

Penny turned to look at Zachary and said, "Over the years, I don't know whether I was waiting for you or I really couldn't find the person I liked, so I just stayed single."

"It's just that, just now, watching you worship your uncle and aunt, all the resentment I had in my heart for you finding another girlfriend disappeared all of a sudden, and I suddenly figured out that everything in the past should be left in the past. Those things in the past are too heavy, and I think I should let go of everything in the past."

When Zachary heard this, his eyes suddenly dimmed. Penny stood up and said, "I'm going back first, no need to see me off."

Zachary opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he could only nod heavily. Listening to the footsteps beside him fading away, the upset Zachary grabbed a piece of stone city beside him and threw it into the distance, thinking to himself, "Am I heartbroken again?"

At this time, Zachary suddenly heard someone in the distance saying hello, turned his head to look over there, and saw Penny standing there with a smile and shouting, "Handsome guy, it's our first meeting, please take care of me!"

Zachary reacted suddenly and was overjoyed. He jumped up from the ground, walked towards Penny, and said, "Since this is our first meeting, we must not be familiar with each other. Why should I take care of you?"
