Chen Hongwang came to Kunming this time, not only to find Wen Jianning's whereabouts, but also for business matters, so he stayed here for a few days, and he didn't come to find her during this period.

However, Wen Jianning mostly refused the other party's invitation under the pretext that he was going to start preparing to revise the original manuscript. It wasn't until the day he left Kunming that he had to go as a friend to see him off.

A few days later, the new school year began.

At the beginning of the academic year, the faculty and students of the University were finally able to move into the newly renovated campus.

Since last year, the UN University has been in a state of inadequacy, for example, the Faculty of Arts has been able to relocate after borrowing Kunming Middle School and Normal School for more than half a year, and the situation of other colleges is not much better.

The new school building was built in the area of the Sanfen Temple in Kunming City, and due to limited funds, the conditions were even more simple than in the past. However, during the preparation of the school building, some students ran over to watch, and everyone already knew about this.

Chen Hanxiang didn't come to live in the dormitory as usual, and her bed was used by everyone to go out to post.

After moving into the new school building, their poster also shifted to a wall near the north gate. There are a lot of students coming and going, and there is a greater chance that they will be able to see them, and many posters have migrated there.

More than half a year after the publication of "Wildfire", it gradually found its own position in the exploration. Wen Jianning is not limited to the genre of literature, poetry, and prose can be published, and the purpose is based on the student body, and they will work with the students of the Department of Social Sciences to make fair judgments on some controversial issues after research at the United Nations University.

This relatively neutral stance, although not popular with extremists, has made "Wildfire" more and more popular among its classmates. There are more and more students joining "Wildfire", and Wen Jianning and Zhong Hui finally no longer have to do everything themselves, and their focus has shifted more to proofreading or other aspects, and they rarely write by themselves.

Shortly after Zhong Hui returned from Hong Kong Island this time, he suddenly asked Wen Jianning out one evening, saying that he had something important to tell her.

Wen Jianning was a little puzzled, but she still went for a walk by the Green Lake with her after dinner.

In the evening, the lakeside was full of tourists, and there were many students who walked along the lake like them. The two of them found a secluded corner, sat on a large rock on the shore, and watched the crescent moon rise in the sky.

After a long time, Zhong Hui made up his mind and said very solemnly: "Jianning, I plan to get engaged to Jiang Xuwen." ”

Wen Jianning suddenly stood up, then pressed her shoulders and said, "Don't joke with me about this kind of thing." ”

Zhong Hui was still just smiling, his eyes were a little shy, obviously not fake.

Wen Jianning was in a trance for a while, how could it be that the two of them were suddenly going to get engaged after just one vacation, and they hadn't finished reading the book yet. When she finally calmed down, she frowned and asked, "Why is it so sudden, you haven't finished college yet." When are you going to get engaged, and will they agree to it?"

Zhong Hui smiled: "It's just an engagement, if you really want to get married, you have to wait until I graduate." ”

However, as Wen Jianning guessed, Zhong Hui's sudden decision to get engaged did have the Jiang family's factors in it.

Jiang Xuwen's mother didn't agree with Zhong Hui's girlfriend at first, thinking that the two families were not compatible, but seeing that the children insisted, she gradually relented. She has been in poor health all these years, and her condition has repeatedly worsened, and she has not improved. Not long ago, if I hadn't been sent to the hospital in time, I was afraid that the person would have disappeared.

She wanted to see her eldest son Jiang Xuwen's marriage settled as soon as possible before she died.

But more importantly, Zhong Hui and the two of them themselves also wanted to settle this matter early. The two of them have been secretly in love since middle school, and although they have been separated, they have not changed. She suddenly went back this summer vacation when she received a letter from Jiang Xuwen, planning to discuss the engagement with Zhong's father and Zhong's mother.

Fortunately, Zhong Hui's parents have always been open-minded and did not stop them, but just told them that even if they were engaged, they should concentrate on completing their studies first, and they would help with everything else. The engagement is scheduled for this winter, and when Zhong Hui returns from the school exam and vacation, he will invite relatives and friends from the two families to attend the engagement.

Although Wen Jianning had long expected such a day, he still had a sense of unreality after listening to it, as if yesterday when they were still in middle school, Zhong Hui was already engaged in a blink of an eye, and he would get married and have children in two years.

She thought for a while and said, "Then when you graduate and get married, you still have to stay on Hong Kong Island in the future." ”

Zhong Hui apologized: "Jiang Xuwen still has younger brothers and sisters to take care of at home, I can't let him leave a big family to come here with me...... So, so Jianning, I can't stay in Kunming with you after graduation. ”

But she knew that Wen Jianning wanted to stay here.

Wen Jianning didn't take this matter to heart, and patted her shoulder: "What is this, even if there is no Jiang Xuwen, your home is there, and your godfather and godmother are also on Hong Kong Island, so you can't let them run to Kunming to live." You are gone, there are still Ruan Wenyun and Feng Xin here in Kunming, as well as many classmates and professors, I am not alone. Yunnan is not too far from Hong Kong, if any of us think about whom, we can always meet again. ”

Zhong Hui smiled: "Okay, let's not think about it for so long. You refused to come with me during spring break, and this time I'm going to get engaged, so you good friend can't make excuses, right?"

Of course not, Zhong Hui is going to get engaged, so Wen Jianning has to be there.

The two friends discussed the details of what flowers to use in the engagement ceremony for a while, and Zhong Hui suddenly asked: "My life events have been decided, so what about Ning Ning, what are your plans?"

Wen Jianning hesitated for a moment and did not answer.

Zhong Hui refused to let her escape, and still insisted on asking: "Chen Hanxiang's family has already engaged her, and she will go back to marry as soon as she finishes studying; Ruan Wenyun has a fiancé, and I heard Zhang Tonghui say that she also married her at home." Feng Xin's family doesn't know, but there are many female classmates in the class who have marriage contracts, and everyone will get married sooner or later, so you don't have any ideas yourself? I might as well make it clearer, what happened to you and that Feng Yi?"

Wen Jianning looked away slightly uncomfortably: "Don't you know, he and I are just gentlemen's friends." ”

As soon as the words came out, she realized that she didn't quite believe her own words. If she could still say these four words conclusively at the beginning of her reunion with Feng Yi, she really couldn't say it after this summer trip.

She's not a dull person, but she's just a little reluctant to think about it.

But as long as the bystander gently clicks out, she can no longer escape.

Zhong Hui didn't see her hesitation, and still persuaded herself: "Jianning, maybe you really think so, but people may not think so." But in my opinion, that Feng Yi must have a good impression of you. ”

Wen Jianning didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she changed the topic: "Okay, it's rare to hear your happy event, why bother with me." Let's go a little longer, I'll go back and revise the draft, and we'll celebrate again tomorrow. ”

Zhong Hui saw that her face was pale, so she didn't mention it anymore.

……

She just said casually, but Wen Jianning's mind was chaotic for the next few days, and when she sat at the desk alone, she would always unconsciously think of the details of getting along with Feng Yi in the past.

But she also recalled the ugly faces of those people in the Wen family, and remembered Feng Ling's attitude, and couldn't fall asleep in bed all night. When I got up early the next morning, I found that Ruan Wenyun, who was facing the bed, had blue eyes and felt very sorry.

Ruan Wenyun has always been thoughtful, and his sleep condition is not good, and he can't sleep at the slightest noise at night. She didn't sleep last night, and she must have disturbed people's peace when she thought about it.

While the two were on their way to the teahouse as usual, Wen Jianning apologized to her for what happened last night.

But Ruan Wenyun didn't care, but said curiously: "Actually, it's none of your business, I don't have a good sleep all year round, and I'm used to it." But what's the matter with you?"

When she asked, Wen Jianning became even more apologetic: "...... Sorry to ask Jun, I don't want to say. ”

Ruan Wenyun told her frankly about Zhou Yinghuang's incident, but in the same situation, she really couldn't open her mouth.

Ruan Wenyun said very generously: "Okay, since you don't want to say it, don't say it, it's not too late to tell me when you figure it out." If you have any difficulties, don't hide them in your heart. ”

In fact, she is a very warm-hearted person, if you get along with her for a long time, it is easy to find her kindness and thoughtfulness under the surface of the bitterness. Especially recently, she seems to be much more cheerful, and the last bit of sourness on her body is gone.

Infected by her, Wen Jianning finally gradually cheered up.

Three days later, in the evening, Wen Jianning went to Lu's house to teach as usual.

When they said goodbye to the Lu family's mother and son as usual, Wen Jianning said to the aunt's wife, "...... Recently, school has been tight, and I am afraid that I will not be coming back from next month, so thank you for your continued care...... In the past few days, please help the two children to inquire about the new female husband. If you need it, I can also help you ask your classmates if they want to come. ”

As soon as the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses heard that she was no longer coming, they immediately smiled. But Wen Jianning's accumulation of power these days is still there, and the two little ones still remember to immediately restrain their expressions, and then lowered their heads to make an honest appearance.

However, Wen Jianning was in no mood to care about their reactions.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Feng Yi next to her, as if she was frozen in place.

He didn't ask her the reason, nor did he express surprise.

After all, he is such a smart person, he can guess anything. She was about to quit the house without even saying hello, apparently excluding him from the range of friends.

Aunt Lu was obviously also surprised, and she kept a few words on her lips, and personally sent the two to the door for the first time.

On the way back, the two were speechless for a while.

Wen Jianning cheered up: "Thank you for taking care of me these days." ”

Feng Yi was silent for a while before he said, "It should be me who thanks you." But you quit your home, what else do you have to do?"

He was worried that without this part-time job, the rest of the days would be sad.

Wen Jianning looked intently at the potholed cobblestone road under his feet: "It's okay, I will write some privately to earn manuscript fees, and I have a lot of money, and I will go to the library to help sort out materials or repair local chronicles in the future, which is enough to support myself." ”

So don't worry about her.

After that, Feng Yi stopped talking.

When they arrived at the school gate, the two of them, as usual, naturally separated and turned around, heading in different directions.

On the way back to the dormitory, Wen Jianning walked very slowly alone.

She doesn't need Feng Yi to guide her anymore, the masthead is just a few words, and she has already practiced almost. I resigned from the Lu family's house today, and I will definitely not meet Feng Yi often in the future. As the days go by, the relationship between the two will slowly fade down, and they will truly return to the gentleman's friendship that is as light as water.

That's good too.
