Chapter 112: From Intimacy to Strangeness
Wong spent a week in the hospital and then recuperated at home for a while until the midterm exams began.
The autumn of falling leaves is over, and the accident is like the water after the waves, gradually returning to calm.
The results of the midterm exam were soon announced, and Wang Ziang was injured because of his injury, which had a certain impact on his grades, although he was still the first in age, but he was tied with Wang Kai for the first place. Quiet, on the other hand, played well, and the improvement in results was obvious, and it was already in third place. Posted next to the red list is a white list with a list of candidates to be re-examined.
Oscar looked at his name on the white list and couldn't help but sigh. He has just begun to learn Chinese, and it is understandable that he failed the test.
Quiet comforted him beside him, "I can help you with your tuition, and you will definitely be able to pass the make-up exam." ”
Students who failed the midterm exams were approached by the principal one after another to talk. Oscar comes out of the office and unexpectedly meets Nana Suzuki.
"Are you also on the list?" He was not good at Chinese, so he only recognized his name on the white list just now, and when he saw that there was still a companion, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy.
But when he saw this look in Nana's eyes, it turned into schadenfreude. She was already in a very bad mood because she had to make up the exam, and at this time she was ridiculed by him, and she was angry, "What's so surprising, Chinese is not my native language! Do you think that only you French people can't speak Chinese?"
Oscar was inexplicably surprised by her, but she could also hear the anger in it. He is actually a good-natured person, maybe he knows the relationship between Prince Ang and Nana, or maybe it is because Nana's cheeks are red with anger, which makes him suddenly feel a little funny and wants to play tricks on her.
"It is said that Japanese is derived from Chinese, shouldn't it be easier for you as a Japanese to learn it?" Besides, didn't the president give you private tutoring? If you fail the exam like this, will he lose face?"
"You...... You...... Quiet, too, have you been tutored, aren't you? Why are you not qualified?
Two people argue in Chinese, which is not very proficient, you say a word, I say a word, and they don't give in to each other. But because he doesn't speak fluently, it doesn't look like a quarrel, but a bit like a quarrel between lovers. It wasn't until the two of them couldn't find the words to express themselves anymore that they turned around angrily and walked away in opposite directions.
——
Quietly heard the news that Oscar was called by the principal to talk, and was afraid that he would not be able to cope with it alone, so he waited for him in the school building.
After a while, she heard movement in the depths of the corridor, thinking it was Oscar, and when she turned around, she saw two people walking side by side, it was Prince Aung and Nana.
By the time she found them, she had no way of avoiding them.
The narrow hallway, the windows were tightly closed, not even a hint of wind could penetrate, and the surroundings were so quiet that it seemed as if a leaf could be heard.
Wang Ziang walked over from the quiet opposite, and was talking to Nana beside him with his head down, occasionally smiling at the corner of his mouth, and he could vaguely hear their happy laughter.
They hadn't seen each other since the last time he had been in the hospital after rescuing her, and the sudden encounter made Quiet inexplicably nervous. The quiet steps were stiff, but the heartbeat was like a drum.
The distance between Wang Ziang and Quiet is getting closer and closer, and Quiet's gaze sweeps over him from time to time, but he doesn't seem to see her at all, he lowers his head slightly, and talks and laughs with Nana as before. Until the two passed by, like strangers.
Quiet slowly turned her head and watched their backs drift away, a heart abruptly stopped from a wild beat, the corridor was dead silent, and she seemed to hear the sound of something shattering in her chest.
She stared blankly at the deep hallway, her eyes so empty that she didn't even notice that Oscar had walked up to her.
Oscar pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window next to him, letting the fresh wind blow in and blow away the gloom in his heart. He rubbed his quiet hair and sighed softly, "Why torture yourself like this? If you like him, just be with him, don't think so much." ”
"Huh?" Quietly looked up at him, the wind ruffled her long hair, and her eyes were confused.
"You know what I'm talking about, don't play dumb with me, Julia. Oscar smiled lightly, but there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
Silence ceased to be silent, silently looking into the distance.
Oscar also followed her gaze, and the endless woods in front of him seemed to be unable to find a way out anyway, and his voice was a little hoarse, as if coming from far away, "I knew you liked him when he handed me that pen." You know I never use a pen...... Hehe, but it's a good match for him. ”
After being silent for a long time, he finally spoke softly, revealing a little uncertainty, "Oscar, I'm very conflicted now, I like him, but I'm also afraid...... Would be ...... like Mom."
"Julia, why don't you want to believe in yourself, don't want to believe him?" Oscar patted her on the shoulder, as if to give her strength, "Don't be afraid, even if you are injured, there is still my shoulder for you to lean on." ”
——
A week later is the day of the make-up exam, Oscar and Nana must pass the exam in order to continue to study in Lanchi Sakurashi, and the two seem to look at each other unpleasantly, and they are devouring books with all their might, trying to defeat each other in the exam room. Naturally, their tutors, Quiet and Prince, also had to bother to help them.
The four of them met unexpectedly that day. Quietly made up for Oscar, and Prince Ang found complicated materials for Nana, which happened to be in the library.
It was already dark at night, and there were only four of them in the library.
Quietly looked up from time to time at Wang Ziang who was a few tables away, he was very focused on reading, and Nana beside him was seriously doing the topic.
Quiet was a little unrelenting, and Oscar finally couldn't help coughing lightly, "Quiet, why don't we change places?"
His mind was seen through, and he lowered his head quietly and embarrassedly.
At this time, Prince Ang also put down his book and instructed Nana, "I'll go drink water and come back later." ”
Nana looked at the back of the departing prince Ang and said nothing.
When Jing Jing saw him go out, he immediately got up, and before he had time to say hello to Oscar, he immediately chased him out.
Oscar shook his head, the library was empty, only him and Nana were left. He walked up behind Nana, who was also in a trance, so all the blank pieces on the spread out homework book fell into Oscar's eyes.
He couldn't help but sigh lightly, "It's really nerve-wracking......"
Nana came back to her senses and seemed to understand what he was referring to, and she didn't hide her thoughts. She silently looked at the water cup that was clearly in her hand, but Huang Ziang turned a blind eye to her and it.
She pouted and asked a little unwillingly, "Will you definitely help her?"
Oscar looked at Nana, his gaze unconsciously softened, "Not necessarily, maybe I won't help anyone, everything will be natural." ”
Quietly chased to the corridor outside the library, the prince was facing away from her, he was holding a glass of water but not drinking it in the moonlight, and that back had a faint and gloomy taste.
Jing Jing felt a faint pain in her heart, bit her lip, and finally spoke, "That day...... I ......"
When Wang Ziang heard her voice, he suddenly turned his head, there were many emotions flashing in his eyes, but they were all fast, and in the end, he only saw a trace of hatred quietly.
"I don't want to talk to you. His voice was cold without a hint of warmth, and he turned to leave.
Quiet was so anxious that he grabbed the corner of his shirt, and pleaded in a pleading tone, "Ziang, can you listen to my explanation......"
The first time she called him so gently, the prince's figure couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, but the next second he shook off her hand and sneered, "Quiet, stop acting, I'm not Gao Yijian." I think your rejection of me that day was clear enough. ”
"No...... I ......" The silence still wanted to be redeemed, but he was shocked by the cold eyes of the prince Ang and was speechless, and what was even more terrifying was what the prince said next.
"Quiet, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I already know everything, why did you enter Lanqi Sakura, why did you frame Gao Yijian, I know the truth behind it. He stared at her coldly, as if he had seen her through.
Quiet and stiff, like a sculpture, only the emotionless words of Wang Ziang continued to pour into her ears.
"Your parents were also students of Ranchi Sakurashi, and your father was an excellent graduate that year, they admired each other, and then got married, with you, everything was fine, but just three years ago, your father suddenly abandoned his wife and daughter and left you, and you also looked for a long time, and then finally found out that your father had already changed his mind. Your mother couldn't stand the blow, she was full of grief and hatred, and she couldn't afford to be sick, and before she died, you promised to take back the outstanding graduate selection that your mother had withdrawn for your father, and take back her dignity and pride. ”
Seeing that the prince was quiet and motionless, he paused and asked, "So you approached me and wanted to wait for an opportunity to attack, because I am an obstacle on your way to winning the excellent graduate, what I said, right?"
A few days ago, he had received a journal in French, left by his quiet mother, and some information about her parents, which he had relied on to investigate by his large royal family, and finally found out the truth. He didn't care who got the materials or why they were handed over to him. After he knew the truth, all he was left was despair and heartache, he couldn't sleep at night, and he didn't know how to eat. Nothing else compared to his pain.
It was as if the silence had been drained of its soul, and only a shell remained. Huang Ziang unexpectedly opened her wound at this time, and a bloody cruel but realistic ugly scar was exposed in front of her. She had so much to tell him, but now she didn't have to, no amount of words could go back to their old days, the time he danced with her under the moon, the night he lipsed her medicine, the garden where they laughed...... She couldn't say a word.
What strength she had left could only keep her from falling in front of him.
Wang Ziang glanced at her faintly, "Nothing to say?" He waited for a while, and finally left slowly.
Silence fell to the ground in the next moment. Oscar ran from afar, helped her up, frowned, and shook his head.
