Chapter 16: Romantic Fireworks

The first semester of the second year of high school ended like this, without Cheng Yu's careful guidance, Lin Wan barely passed the average level of mathematics, and other subjects performed normally, and the class ranking remained in the upper middle position, and Cheng Yu occupied the first place in the class ranking list as always.

Lin Wan was surprisingly calm during this holiday, only occasionally a cold eye would suddenly appear in her mind, mixed with feelings that she couldn't see.

After dinner, she went downstairs to throw out the garbage, and passed the narrow hallway downstairs, where a familiar long figure stood with her back against the wall.

Lin Wan didn't know why he came downstairs to her house.

Apologize?

It seems that he doesn't need to apologize to her, this incident seems to be caused by her inexplicable emotions from the beginning, and even a little unreasonable, she later despised her unreasonable behavior more than once, but even so, she didn't take the initiative to talk to Cheng Yu.

Thinking about the relationship between the two during this time, I became irritable again for no reason.

She ignored him and turned to walk back.

There was a sound of "da-da-da" hurriedly walking behind her, and a strong force pulled her back into the aisle.

Eyes met, silence, long silence.

"You ......"

"I'm ......" both voices sounded at the same time.

"Are you okay?" Lin Wan said lightly.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. ”

Lin Wan's breath stagnated, she was stunned by Cheng Yu's sudden farewell, her heart was pulled by inexplicable emotions, and she was suddenly a little speechless.

Half-paid, she said lightly, "Then, have a good trip... I'm going home first. ”

Looking at the figure walking away, Cheng Yu pulled the corners of his mouth a little self-deprecatingly, and the hand that touched the rabbit-like cold metal in his pocket gradually clenched into a fist.

Lying in bed at night, Lin Wan couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and her thoughts were messily formed into a net, weaving tighter and tighter, and finally reaching her heart, pressing Lin Wan out of breath.

She didn't know what he meant by "leaving", she had heard Chen Xue inadvertently say that he was going to study abroad in the future, but she didn't know that this day would come so quickly.

Is this schedule advanced because of her relationship?

Did he show up downstairs tonight to say goodbye to her?

She noticed that this person seemed to be more and more likely to affect her mood lately, which did not bode well.

As a result, Lin Wan had insomnia for the first time in her life.

......

"Xiaowan, put down your chopsticks if you don't eat, you see you're about to spill all the food in the bowl on the table. Lu Yueling looked at her daughter's preoccupied appearance, and couldn't help but be a little worried, she has been distracted frequently recently, and she thinks it's time to talk to her daughter.

Lin Wan was startled by her mother's sudden voice, looked down at the "masterpiece" on the table in front of her, and wiped it with a tissue.

After cleaning up, he got up, "Mom, I'm done." ”

"Xiaowan, have you encountered any troubles lately?" Lu Yueling stopped her daughter who was about to "abscond in fear of crime", and asked in a gentle tone.

Lu Yueling was born in a family of eunuchs in the south of the Yangtze River, and her voice was soft and soft, and Lin Wan inherited this trait very well.

"No, I'm just worried about the ranking this semester. After all, there will be one class next semester. ”

"Is there still no way to do mathematics?" Lu Yueling couldn't help but feel a little sad with self-blame.

In fact, Lin Wan didn't have much resistance to mathematics at first, but when she was in the fourth grade of primary school, she suddenly changed a mathematics teacher in the class.

The teacher was extremely perverted, he would physically punish students who did not achieve his goals, and even singled out some of the more "obedient" students, calling them "not well-behaved", and then locked them in a small dark room, made them "reflect" on themselves, and then threatened to be "injected" if they said it - holding a tiny needle and sticking it hard in their arms and backs.

When she was a child, Lin Wan, who was weaker and shorter than her peers, unfortunately became one of them, and this kind of life lasted for a long time.

It wasn't until Lin Wan woke up crying from nightmares at night, and finally told the truth under the pressure of her parents.

Looking at the tiny needle on her daughter's arm and back, Lu Yueling blamed herself for being careless, and she didn't notice it when she took a bath with her daughter every day, which made her suffer inhuman physical and mental torture for a long time.

Although the teacher was fired, the lovely and cheerful daughter became less talkative and hated math ever since.

In fact, Lin Wan was a lively and active child before the fourth grade of primary school, and even became a naughty child in the eyes of the teacher for a time.

She was afraid that if she was not careful, she would be locked up in a small black room, so she played the role of an obedient good student in the eyes of the teacher.

"It's much better than before, Mom, you don't have to worry, I shouldn't be eliminated into the parallel class. ”

Lin Wan looked at her mother's self-blame, guessing that she must have remembered what happened to her when she was a child, and she didn't want to see her mother blame herself for her again, so she diverted the topic. "Is Daddy coming back today?"

"He shouldn't be coming back, they should have been busy lately. Saying that, Lu Yueling got up and cleaned up the table.

Recently, there was a migrant worker wage incident, hundreds of migrant workers were in the government, and the government building pulled banners and sat down, Lin Ye's colleagues have been in front of the government and government buildings for several days to maintain stability and stand by.

As the person in charge of the city's operational command center, he must carry out unified command and deployment in the rear.

Lin Ye's parents have long passed away, Lu Yueling still "has a home and can't go back", this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, and only their mother and mother are eating this big table of "reunion dinner".

"Lin Wan!" Chen Xue's voice sounded downstairs, "Come down and set off fireworks!"

What Lin Wan looks forward to most on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve every year is not the bowl of rice balls cooked by her mother, not sitting around the table to watch the Spring Festival Gala, but setting off fireworks with the friends in the courtyard.

Watching the ceremonial flowers bloom in the sky, Lin Wan felt that it was the time when she was closest to happiness.

But this year, she didn't have much interest, even the Spring Festival Gala program broadcast on TV, Zhao Benshan's "Flickering" series of sketches, she also looked interested.

"Mom, I went out to set off fireworks with Chen Xue. Lin Wan said and put on a thick down jacket, a scarf and a hat, and went out fully armed.

When I went downstairs, I saw Chen Xue standing in the middle of the courtyard, and under the dim light, she was dancing excitedly around a boy.

"Hey, will you order it!" Chen Xue patted the boy who was half-squatting on the ground and stretched out and retracted his hand as she spoke.

"Alas, don't shoot me, I was smoked by firecrackers when I was a child, and I have a psychological shadow...... Why don't you call Ah Yu?"

"Ah Yu, come here!"

Only then did Lin Wan realize that the person who was squatting and lighting the fire turned out to be Li Zhongyi, and in his shouting, the figure that was still hidden in the darkness just now gradually appeared in Lin Wan's sight.

She stayed motionless, staring at the people who were getting closer and closer, the muscles of her cheeks drooping, and her small mouth opened slightly, revealing a few white teeth.

Didn't he go abroad? Why is he here?

"Bang!" A loud bang sounded in Lin Wan's ears, and then the sound of flowers blooming kept coming from her ears.

She hurriedly covered her ears and looked up at the sky, and the originally dark night sky instantly bloomed with colorful flower umbrellas, and the colorful fireworks were as beautiful and dazzling as crystal.

In the sound of the cannon, Chen Xue didn't know when she came to her side, "Why is it so slow, why don't you see you screaming in that magic sound this year." ”

Lin Wan glanced at her and looked at the two people in front of her, "Why did they come?"

Li Zhongyi called and said that it was too boring to watch the Spring Festival Gala at home, and the family was either drinking or playing mahjong. So I asked him to come over and set off fireworks together, who knew that this person was afraid of setting off fireworks, it was really boring. ”

"As for Cheng Yu......"

Saying that, Chen Xue looked at the person in front of him with his hands in his pockets, and laughed without knowing what he thought, "I don't know why he came, maybe it's too boring to stay at home." ”

"Didn't he go abroad?"

He just came back from the Beijing Olympiad training camp today, and he had to leave again on the seventh day of the junior high school. This is a big New Year, it's not a human thing......"

Lin Wan couldn't hear what Chen Xue was still talking about in the back, she only knew that she was staying in place like a fool at the moment.

It turned out that he said that he was leaving, just going to Beijing for training!

Lin Wan's distraction for so many days suddenly bloomed with the ceremonial flowers blooming in the sky at this moment, and fell quickly.

The heart is like the lightness of unloading a thousand pounds, and the clarity in front of you is suddenly clear, as if walking to the edge of a cliff, God smiled, and you saw that there was originally a path next to it.

In fact, it turned out that he was just going down the wrong path.

"Here you go. The man next to her shoved a metallic object into her hand.

When she looked up, she saw Cheng Yu standing beside her, looking at her with a pair of black eyes for a moment.

Chen Xue, who was originally by her side, didn't know when she ran to the opposite side, and was chasing and fighting with Li Zhongyi with firecrackers at this time.

Lin Wan looked down at the thing that had just been stuffed into her hand, it was a crystal hairpin in the shape of a rabbit.

She held the hairpin, didn't know what to say for a long time, and after a while, she whispered, "It's beautiful, thank you." ”

Cheng Yu looked at the petite person beside him, his neck shrunk in a big red scarf, only two round eyes were exposed, two pear vortices with a shallow smile were deeply embedded in the corners of his mouth, and one of his hearts seemed to be hanging in the air, followed by the sound of fireworks echoing in the empty courtyard, beating in "bang, bang, bang".

"I'm going to Beijing in a few days, and I may not be able to come to your birthday......"

"What did you say?" Chen Xue on the other side was firing the cannon again, and the sound of the cannon shook Lin Wan's ears.

She only saw Cheng Yu's mouth closed, as if he was saying something to her.

Cheng Yu suddenly bent down and put his mouth close to her ear, "I said, I may not be able to come to your birthday, I wish you a happy birthday in advance!"

Lin Wan was suddenly startled by the sound of such a close distance in her ears, and she instinctively turned her head.

The body instantly seemed to be like a flash of electricity, numb, crispy.

At the moment when she turned her head, her lips gently brushed the thin lips that were still cold in her ears, and the two of them quickly bounced away.

The two hesitated like this, and no one said a word for a long time.

Lin Wan stood there at a loss, her cheeks crimson, her head lowered, and her fingers subconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes.

And the man next to him still looked cold and calm, but the cherry red ears were looming in the light of the fireworks.

"That, that, thank you. Forehead...... I mean, thank you for your birthday wishes. Lin Wan plucked up the courage to speak, but what she said was also stumbling, and she was worried that there would be ambiguity and fear of being misunderstood, so she emphasized it again.

Cheng Yu's indifferent face was suddenly stretched out by a big smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, like ripples in the lake against the backdrop of the royal blue down coat.

This was the first time Lin Wan knew that he was so good-looking when he smiled.

She was so shaken by this smile that her face was so hot that she felt as if she was stepping on cotton, her body was fluttering, everything around her seemed to be silenced, and she could not hear anything.

When Lin Ye drove back, he saw his daughter standing stupidly next to a tall and thin boy.

Occupational sensitivity made him can't help but take a few more looks, the thin and tall figure is estimated to be about 180, and the height of his daughter 155 is up to his chest, because he is standing sideways, he can't see clearly, but from the outline, he should be a young and handsome young man.

He honked the horn, and the children looked at him one after another, and the cold eyes immediately attracted his attention, with an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and the angular features had a composure and height beyond their peers.

Lin Ye, who knew countless people, immediately came to a conclusion that this child was not simple.

Lin Wan turned her head and saw the familiar car parked there, she put the hairpin in her hand into her jacket pocket, and ran towards her father with a cigarette.

She couldn't remember how many years she hadn't seen her father before 12 o'clock that day.

Cheng Yu looked at the person talking to Lin Wan in the car, and he suddenly felt inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen this uncle somewhere when he was a child.

That year's Chinese New Year's Eve was Lin Wan's most unforgettable.

When the bell rang at 12 o'clock, the sky was filled with colorful flowers, and the ears were deafening with the deafening sound of firecrackers, and the surrounding area was filled with thick smoke.

When the haze gradually dissipated, as far as her eyes could see, there were a pair of swarthy eyes, with a tenderness that she had never seen before.
