Nineteen-year-old Xu Tingsheng sat on a long-distance bus to Yanzhou City.

In 2011, it took 3 hours to drive from Yannan City to Yanzhou City, and now, in 2003, Xu Tingsheng just inquired with the driver, and it took 5 hours.

Xu Tingsheng spent a day and a night before accepting the reality of rebirth. The year, 2003, is now early March. After the initial panic, perhaps because he had left too many regrets in his previous life, he was even a little excited and excited.

There are 3 things in front of us:

One is the unexpected death of my father, which will happen more than a month later, on April 15.

The second is Xiang Ning, she should only be 14 years old at this time, in the first year of junior high school. As far as what Xu Tingsheng saw and heard so far, the flapping of butterfly wings didn't change anything, but he still couldn't wait to confirm Xiang Ning's existence, or he just wanted to take a look at her.

The third is the college entrance examination, and there are almost 3 months to go.

Xu Tingsheng once went to Xiang Ning's high school alma mater, Yanzhou No. 2 Senior High School, to accompany her in her senior year to reminisce about her youth, but the bad thing is that he didn't know the school Xiang Ning attended in junior high school.

The 2003 long-distance bus was not comfortable, and the road conditions were not good, and Xu Tingsheng sat next to a middle-aged woman wearing silver-rimmed glasses, vomiting constantly because of the bumps in the car.

Xu Tingsheng handed her plastic bags and paper towels and helped her open the mineral water.

"Thanks, sorry. ”

The middle-aged lady tilted her head and gasped, turned slightly sideways, and thanked Xu Tingsheng a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, my mom and sister don't get in the car. ”

Xu Tingsheng smiled gently, his mental age of 31 years old made him look more calm than his peers.

"You're still a student in Iwashu, aren't you?" said the woman, covering her mouth.

"Yes, senior year of high school, go do something...... The family is over there. The inexplicable feeling of emptiness made Xu Tingsheng hide it.

"Oh, the third year of high school is hard. I'm a teacher, but I teach junior high school. ”

"Is it a junior high school in Yanzhou City?" or is it a city in Yannan City?" Xu Tingsheng was in a trance for a moment and asked.

"Yes, Iwaju, I attended a training session here the other day...... Do you want to eat Mei?" said the female teacher.

"Okay, thanks...... I've loved sours since I was a child. ”

"Me too. ”

Xu Tingsheng took a plum and put it in his mouth, and the two seemed to be closer because of this. Xu Tingsheng hesitated for a while, if he asked: Teacher, do you know a first-year junior high school student, her name is Xiang Ning. It will almost certainly arouse the other party's vigilance.

Xu Tingsheng thought for a while, and pretended to be relaxed: "My cousin is in the first year of junior high school in Yanzhou, maybe she is your student, haha." ”

"What a coincidence...... What school is your cousin in?" The female teacher laughed too, perhaps because she was distracted by the chat, but she stopped vomiting at this point.

"It's not too clear, there's less movement. Her name is Xiang Ning. Xu Tingsheng said a little crampedly.

The female teacher looked at him with her mouth half-open.

Xu Tingsheng raised his eyelids suspiciously.

"No, there is a girl in my class named Xiang Ning, I don't know if it's the same name. The female teacher said.

Xu Tingsheng was a little overwhelmed, and this feeling was somewhere between excitement and nervousness.

"In which school does the teacher teach?...... I went back and asked my family, maybe I would have to ask the teacher to help me take care of it when the time came. ”

"New Rock Middle School. If it's really that coincidental, it's incumbent. My surname is Liu, Liu Xueli, can you remember my phone number,......"

"Hopefully. Xu Tingsheng wrote down Mr. Liu's phone number.

******

Xu Tingsheng lives in a small, inexpensive guesthouse, 5 minutes away from Sinam Middle School.

He didn't dare to go to Xiang Ning through Teacher Liu.

Suppose Teacher Liu said to Xiang Ning, your cousin is looking for you, and then the little girl who is only 14 years old sees a completely strange man...... Xu Tingsheng was afraid of scaring her.

The doorman tried there, but the school was semi-closed, and he couldn't get in without enough reasons and proofs. Where did Xu Tingsheng dare to mention Xiang Ning's name, let alone prove and register.

Xu Tingsheng tried to climb the hillside behind the school, and sat for a day, where he could see the school's playground, where students in physical education class would appear.

However, Xiang Ning was not found.

When school is out in the evening, some students will go home, Xu Tingsheng watched it for two days, and there is still no Xiang Ning, she may live in the school. As for the possibility that Xiang Ning actually appeared and he didn't recognize it, he didn't think it existed, although she was only 14 years old at this time.

Xu Tingsheng began to wonder if the school really just had a girl of the same age and name.

On Friday evening, all students go home from school.

Xu Tingsheng bought a bottle of mineral water at the small shop in front of the school, leaned against the counter, and watched every student passing by.

There is a plot of "don't leave after school", where a young boy is chased and beaten by several other slightly older boys.

There is the phenomenon of "puppy love", the little boy and the little girl walk together secretly, they don't dare to hold hands, and they don't even dare to speak, but the ambiguous atmosphere can be seen.

"Did Xiang Ning fall in love early in the morning?" Xu Tingsheng thought a little sourly. "She talked about it once in high school, and it was said that her boyfriend looked like Wang Leehom and was a rich second generation...... I can't bear this, do you want to stop it?"

During the weekend holidays, most of the students were a little impatient to leave the school, and the flow of people at the school gate quickly changed from bustling to scattered.

Xiang Ning still didn't appear.

Xu Tingsheng looked at his watch a little anxiously. There were notes left at school and at home, and although parents and teachers were inevitably anxious, nothing would happen. But it has been 4 days since he came out, and the 200 yuan Xu Tingsheng stole from his mother is almost gone, and if he has to wait another week, he can only sleep on the streets.

You may have to find several more schools, in which case it will be more than a week.

But he had to see Xiang Ning, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do anything.

The guards were closing the school gates, which were not electrically retractable automatic doors, but two tall iron gates. The door slowly closes, creaking and rubbing.

In the middle of the gradually smaller door, the figures of two little girls appeared in sight and rushed towards the door.

"Uncle, wait a minute. ”

The two little girls rushed out hand in hand, with excited faces, as if they had just staged a victorious escape.

The long-haired one, no.

The other, with short ear-length hair, and a tuft of pigtails tied up in the middle of the top of his head. Eyebrows, eyes, mouth, nose tip, smile, although the beauty in memory has been replaced by youth, but everything is still so familiar.

The first time Xu Tingsheng saw her, tears fell.

But I want to laugh very much, this dress is very wild...... It is not a route to follow.

Also, before the skin had acne, it was really much better than it was later.

Also, if you come out so late, you won't be left in class by the teacher, right?

"What should I do?" Xu Tingsheng grinned and blew cool air, wiping his tears in a panic, he had imagined this scenario, but he didn't design his reaction.

"Go up and tell her, you are Xiang Ning, I am Xu Tingsheng, after 8 years, Xiang Ning will fall in love with Xu Tingsheng, and we will be together?...... This is the most wanted to say, but it is also the first option that should be ruled out. ”

"Pretending to be a boy who admires her, go up and talk to her?...... But I'm too big, she's too young, she's going to sue the teacher, right? A 27-year-old man may not be abrupt to talk to a 22-year-old girl, but at 19 and 14 years old, the gap is terrifying. ”

"The best option should be...... Just look at her like this and leave silently. Xu Tingsheng tried to suppress his impulses.

"You're here, it's fine...... Nothing else matters, you can take your time. Xu Tingsheng clenched his fists, his palms were full of sweat.

The two little girls turned a corner, and with leaping steps, they walked towards the shop.

Walked to Xu Tingsheng's side.

"Boss, I want a bottle of orange juice. ”

The little girl in the voice change period, the gap between her voice and the later one is still very big, and her rough voice, Xu Tingsheng sounds very pleasant, like a heavenly sound.

The tuft of pigtails on the top of Xiang Ning's head swayed, focusing on taking out money in his schoolbag, and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing a pink, slender little arm.

Xu Tingsheng held his breath, but he had just cried, and he couldn't help choking, so he shrugged his whole body.

When Xiang Ning was paying, he looked up at the strange man who was crying in the small shop in confusion.

Her eyes, just like what they had seen when they looked at each other countless times, were clear and translucent, and they could see everything beautiful from them, Xu Tingsheng's face had a feeling of cramping, he wanted to smile, it was better to smile charmingly, but he couldn't do it.

Xiang Ning also glanced at it, she frowned and gritted her teeth, trying to twist the cap of the orange juice bottle.

"Whew...... Can't open. Xiang Ning pouted and said.

"I'll help you. Xu Tingsheng held back the moment he blurted out, even though he had helped her open the bottle cap countless times before.

"I'll come. The long-haired girl took the bottle and unscrewed it with a click, effortlessly.

Xiang Ning raised his head, drank water with a clatter, a slightly trembling throat, a slender neck, delicate and lovely ears, and crystal earlobes...... Xu Tingsheng once said to Xiang Ning, every time I see you drinking water, you look like a person who is about to die of thirst.

It took about ten seconds, Xiang Ning drank half a bottle of orange juice in one go, Xu Tingsheng only glanced at it, he didn't dare to look more.

The two little girls left hand in hand.

Xu Tingsheng didn't dare to follow, and looked at the back from afar, getting farther and farther away, until it disappeared.

"My dear, I'll get everything ready, and then, wait for you to grow up. ”
