Chapter 5 The Cost
Wen Xun didn't expect that the glance she glanced at Jiang Xiangyang through the crack in the door of the dance studio before she left the entertainment company that day would become the last time she saw him on her trip to City B.
That night, Jiang Xiangyang suddenly took over a job, and flew to another city before he had time to meet her. He called her at the airport and told her that he was leaving suddenly, and she was too late to deliver one. His voice on the phone was also vague, making Wen Xun feel as if there was an entire universe between them.
For the next few days, she went to some attractions by herself.
On the day Wen Xun set off to return to City C, Jiang Xiangyang also happened to be busy with work and wanted to return to City B, but unfortunately her flight was in the morning, and his was in the evening, and the two of them still missed it. I don't know when I will see you again.
For senior year students, spending more time at school than at home is the time they spend at home. As soon as this trip to City B ended, Wen Xun's high school had already started, and she didn't have time to change her anger, so she immediately devoted herself to the life of her senior year of high school. However, when I returned to my familiar environment and living conditions, my heart was at ease. The tall entertainment company building, Gu Qingqing's delicate makeup, and the popping sound of high heels stepping on the ground seemed to be far away from her, and they could no longer disturb her heartstrings.
The day passed by in the sound of the tip of the pen touching the paper, Wen Xun moved his sore neck, and called his friend Ruan Jingyu to go to the bedroom together. On the way, Ruan Jingyu asked her about her experience of going to City B to play.
"Nothing fun. Wen Xun said, "My mother is right, I didn't like it when I was a child, I still won't like it if I go again, and I probably won't go a hundred times again." ”
"You have something to say. Ruan Jingyu looked at Wen Xun with interest, trying to find some clues from her micro-expression.
"No, it's the truth. ”
"Are you going to go to college over there?"
"I don't know. One moment sure, the next hesitation, do you think I'm too indecisive. ”
Ruan Jingyu smiled. "Please, we've just started the second half of the third semester of high school, and it's not too late for you to wait until the college entrance examination is over to want to volunteer, so what if you can't think of it now." ”
"Yes. ”
"But I always feel like you're preoccupied with this school year. Ruan Jingyu looked around and lowered her voice, "Is it not pleasant to be with Jiang Xiangyang?"
As soon as Ruan Jingyu's words fell, Wen Xun's elderly machine stuffed on the side of his backpack vibrate. She took out her phone and saw that it showed "Old Ginger".
"Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Ruan Jingyu smiled, "Then you can talk, I'll go back first." ”
There is a special rule in this high school - students are not completely prohibited from mobile phones, but cannot use them in the teaching building, dormitory building, etc., but in the playground. Of course, this "can" only means that you can make calls, so everyone with a mobile phone is basically a mobile phone with an elderly machine. Perhaps the school was afraid that the closed management would make this group of children whose wings were not yet full of hair suffocate the disease, so they set this humane rule so that they could take a breath.
Wen Xun picked up the phone and put it to his ear. As far as the eye can see, there are several students who answer the phone not far away, and everyone's screen is lit up with a little light, which looks like stars on the ground.
"Have you gone to self-study?" Jiang Xiangyang asked on the phone.
"Hmm. Why did you call me all of a sudden, aren't you busy?"
"It's not been a busy day. Jiang Xiangyang paused, "I'm sorry, I didn't accompany you much when you came to City B." ”
"Why do you say that, it was my own trip. ”
"I'm a little scared of you like this, when did you become so understanding?"
Wen Xun couldn't help but laugh, "What do you mean, I used to show my teeth and claws?"
"But isn't it, I've been working on psychological construction for a long time to call you, and I'm ready for you not to answer the phone or scold me bloody after answering. ”
He was joking, but Wen Xun listened to it. Thinking that Jiang Xiangyang had to endure her temper so many times before after a busy day or even several days, she felt very guilty and uncomfortable.
The third year of high school started very early, and it was still February, and it was already very cold after standing in the playground for a while. Wen Xun watched the mobile phone screens of the surrounding classmates go off one by one, and watched them leave the playground one by one, slowly leaving only herself. She held her mobile phone and chatted with Jiang Xiangyang for a long time, without quarreling or talking, just chatting casually and renewing each other's tired lives. After hanging up the phone and returning to the dormitory building, Wen Xun's hands froze. However, my heart is finally a little more steady.
After washing, Wen Xun turned on the lamp and prepared to study again. There was a knock on the door of the dormitory, and she thought that her roommate had come back without a key, so she stepped forward and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was indeed her roommate Ji Mingxin, but there were also two juniors Wen Xun didn't know standing beside her. As soon as he saw Wen Xun, Ji Mingxin raised his hand and said, "This is what I told you about Wen Xun, Jiang Xiangyang's real good friend - the kind that grew up together! Don't you want Jiang Xiangyang's contact information, I have introduced you here, you work hard." ”
After speaking, Ji Mingxin winked at the two juniors, then at Wen Xun, and then returned to his bed.
The two juniors looked at Wen Xun expectantly, and one of them opened his mouth boldly, "Senior Sister Wen Xun, we promise not to disturb him, just add the contact information and take a look, and don't say anything, okay?"
"I'm sorry, but he has a special job, he really can't. ”
The two schoolgirls begged for a while with bitter faces, but Wen Xundu resolutely refused, and grinded until the lights out bell rang, and the two schoolgirls reluctantly left.
Wen Xun closed the door and said angrily to Ji Ming, who was applying a mask, "How many bribes did you accept from other students?"
"Well, just these few boxes of masks. ”
“...... Ji Mingxin, I've said it N times, don't take me anymore to receive things and give favors, I really can't give anyone Jiang Xiangyang's contact information, you make it difficult for me to do this. ”
"Then don't give it, don't you handle it well every time. I just promised them to let them come to you, and I didn't promise that I would be able to move you, something mutually beneficial. Ji Mingxin glanced at Wen Xun, picked up a box of masks in his hand and handed it to her, "Don't be angry, next time there is something we will be half and half!"
"Oh, okay!" Wen Xun stuffed the mask back into her hand, "I'll tell you seriously once again, if there is such a thing again, I will apply for a sleep change!"
After finishing speaking, Wen Xun extinguished his desk lamp and went to bed to cover the quilt above his head. Ji Mingxin was still chattering on the side, but those words floated in her ears, and they all became words with no real meaning similar to the sound of mosquitoes.
Because he is friends with Jiang Xiangyang, Wen Xun has been in trouble for three years in high school.
She's really annoyed.
She is already so annoyed just by being regarded as a link, I really can't imagine what kind of mood Jiang Xiangyang will be in the eyes of everyone. But now that I'm in that position, some spaces that don't want to be noticed have been noticed, and it can only be said that it is the price.
The higher you go, the greater the cost.
And what about her?
Will it be that the closer you get to him, the more you will have to pay what price.
