Chapter Twenty-Seven: Long Time No See
After Xiao Ran returned to school, he went directly into the classroom without even eating. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info took out Xia Chenxuan's MP3, listened to the recordings inside over and over again, followed the voices and annotations in the notebook, and wrote out the short articles one by one.
Class on Monday, when the results of the monthly exam came down, Xiao Ran's math finally passed the passing line. Although she only passed the passing line, Xiao Ran was still very happy, and this was the first time she had passed math since she was in middle school. The head teacher finally stopped putting on a sad expression of "hating iron does not become steel", but gave her a look of "it turns out that you are still saved", which made Xiao Ran understand it.
For the first time in this time, Xiao Ran was so happy. Therefore, when she bought some snacks and went to Class 7 after school to give them to Guan Xue and Zhou Qingxuan to eat, she saw Guan Xue's reluctant smile, thinking that she did not do well in this exam, and specially comforted her. Guan Xue pinched a piece of potato chips, chewed it with some hesitation, and finally told the truth: "Xiao Ran, I only heard my mother tell the truth last night, in fact, my aunt sent my brother abroad because he was going to have surgery. ”
Xiao Ran's smile froze on her face, and Zhou Qingxuan also looked at Guan Xue in surprise.
"What do you mean? What's wrong with him?"
Guan Xue's voice was a little crying, put her forehead on Xiao Ran's shoulder, and whimpered: "Actually, he had a very serious car accident before, although he woke up later, but since that injury, there is a blood vessel that has pressed the nerve in his eye, and he must go to the hospital regularly for examination and treatment, otherwise it may lead to blindness, and the doctor said that if you want to cure it, you must have brain surgery." That's why my aunt contacted a foreign hospital for him, took him to have surgery done during the summer vacation, and let him rest for a while. He was afraid that we would be worried, so he never told us, and if it weren't for my uncle getting drunk yesterday, my mother happened to call him and ask about my brother, and he said that he had leaked out for a while, and we would have been kept in the dark. No wonder my brother always likes to sleep, and I can't wait to slap myself at the thought that I've been making fun of him with this. ”
Xiao Ran's voice trembled slightly: "That...... And what happened to his surgery?"
"My uncle said that the operation went well, but it was not clear when he would come back, and the doctor said that it would depend on the recovery of the eye. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, patted Guan Xue's shoulder and comforted: "Don't be sad, he's fine." ”
"Hmm. Guan Xue raised her head, took the paper handed to her by Zhou Qingxuan, wiped her tears, and said, "Xiao Ran, I always caused trouble for him before, am I too much of a bastard?"
"No, you just don't know, we can all see how good your relationship with him is. Xiao Ran took Guan Xue's hand and said, "You are the most competent sister, really, I am not as good as you are to my brother." ”
Guan Xue stretched out her hand to hug Xiao Ran: "Xiao Ran, thank you, I feel much better when you say this." ”
Xiao Ran patted her back and said, "I'm also lucky to meet you." ”
Before you know it, winter is quietly coming again. On Christmas Eve, the first snow of winter finally began to fall. Xiao Ran sat in the classroom, his eyes moved from the test paper in front of him to the path outside the window, and he was distracted by the light of the street lamp. Liu Rongrong, who was at the same table, had gradually gotten used to her wandering appearance from time to time, and would call her at the right time every time. This time, when I was about to call her as usual, I saw her suddenly turn her head. Liu Rongrong was taken aback by her: "What's wrong?"
Xia Chenxuan has been out of the country for more than half a year, Xiao Ran suddenly had an intuition, as if Xia Chenxuan was about to come back, after thinking about it, he felt a little funny, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”
Liu Rongrong let out an "oh" and was about to continue working on the topic, but saw Xiao Ran suddenly stand up: "What's wrong again?"
Xiao Ran said: "I'll go out for a while and I'll be back in a while." With that, he hurried out of the classroom.
"Hey, where are you going?!" Liu Rongrong didn't finish speaking, she couldn't see Xiao Ran's figure, so she had to say to herself: "What's the matter? ”
Xiao Ran registered at the security uncle's side, braved the snow, trotted all the way to Xia Chenxuan's downstairs, looked at the still dark window, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I know it's an illusion and I have to run before I die, are you stupid?" After standing downstairs at Xia Chenxuan's house, Xiao Ran slowly walked back. When passing by a public phone booth, he went in and dialed the number again, until there was still a reminder from inside to turn off the phone, Xiao Ran gave up completely and returned to school. "Hey, that's stupid!"
Early the next morning, Xiao Ran went to the fruit store to buy six very large apples, kept one for himself, and gave the remaining five to Guan Xue, Zhou Qingxuan, Siyan, Liu Rongrong, and Monk Nan.
Guan Xue, Zhou Qingxuan, Siyan and Liu Rongrong are okay, after all, they know that tonight is Christmas Eve and they want to eat apples. Shang Nan had just arrived at the classroom in the morning, when Xiao Ran stuffed a cold big apple in his hand, and he was immediately confused: Why did he let him eat apples on such a cold day? However, he was still very righteous and finished eating. It wasn't until dinner in the evening that Zhou Qingxuan also gave him an apple and told him that he couldn't eat it until 12 o'clock in the evening, that he was a little stunned and told him that the apple Xiao Ran gave him in the morning was eaten by him in the morning. For this reason, Shang Nan was ridiculed by Zhou Qingxuan for a long time.
Of course, Xiao Ran didn't know about these things. Xiao Ran was busy cleaning his apples, holding a small fruit knife, and pretended to engrave a poem on the apples in an elegant manner: "There is plum without snow and no energy, and there is snow without plum vulgar." The sunset poem is full of snow and snow, and the plum is very spring. ”
Liu Rongrong was speechless about someone's childish behavior of deliberately placing it on the desk after carving poems on apples. I've been wasting so much time since I was tossing and turning after school in the afternoon and now I'm about to go to class in the evening self-study, just to carve a few lines of poetry? The point is, no matter how beautiful the carving is, isn't it the same to be eaten at night? Isn't this a waste of time?!
Just as a certain "mentally handicapped child" was entertaining himself, a nice voice sounded at the door of the classroom: "Excuse me, can you help me call Xiao Ran in your class?" Xiao Ran raised her head when she heard this, and saw Xia Chenxuan, who was wearing a down jacket, standing at the door of the classroom, smiling at her.
At this moment, the time seems to be frozen, and in Xiao Ran's future life, it has left a mark that is not deep or shallow.
Xiao Ran's heart began to beat uncontrollably, and when he stood up, he almost touched the apple that had just been placed on the table. Xiao Ran reached out to catch the apple in a little panic, and walked outside the class under the gaze of his classmates.
The students in the first class suddenly discussed as if they had exploded: "Oh my God, that was Xia Chenxuan just now, right?
"yes, wow, it's so handsome up close!"
"Hey, you say, why did he come to Xiao Ran?"
"I don't know, is it what I heard?"
"Which, what? Tell me about it. ”
"That's it, I heard ......" The girls heard this, and brought their heads closer, their voices lowered, and discussed the gossip they heard together.
Xia Chenxuan, who was outside the class, had been staring at Xiao Ran. I don't know if it's because I haven't seen him for a long time, Xiao Ran was a little nervous when he saw it, and when he lowered his head and was about to look at his toes, he realized that he hadn't paid attention just now, and took out the apple on the table. Immediately felt that this was a good idea to relieve the tension, so he handed the apple to Xia Chenxuan and said, "Today is Christmas Eve, this is for you." ”
Xia Chenxuan took the apple, looked at the poems engraved on it, and couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Ran didn't realize at this moment that he had carved words on the apple, looking at Xia Chenxuan, although he was smiling, he couldn't hide his still somewhat pale face, his eyes were hot, and he said, "Are you all right?"
Xia Chenxuan looked up at her: "Well, it's all right." ”
Xiao Ran: "Long time no see. ”
Xia Chenxuan replied with a smile: "Long time no see." ”
