12.Chapter 12
Walking on the campus after a long absence, Ji Tong's mood was really mixed.
She remembered that she used to come back with Hang Jiabai to see the teacher every year on Teacher's Day, but after they were separated, she never had the courage to set foot here. She knew that the teachers and classmates back then, even if they didn't ask, probably knew it by heart. Hang Jiabai, who is good in the eyes of everyone, should not belong to her Ji Tong.
The young and energetic faces on campus are just like they once were. From time to time, a few female students gathered around on the road and had a heated discussion.
Ji Tong also quietly raised his eyes to observe the people around him, in fact, his appearance has not changed much, but his hair is shorter, and the charm between his clothes and eyebrows has matured a lot. She remembered that when she saw Hang Jiabai for the first time, she was no different from those female classmates, and she was so crazy that she pulled her friends around her to have a small meeting and ask him which class he was in.
At that time, all her friends persuaded her not to be delusional, women have a long way to chase men, and even if they catch it, it makes people feel that the price is low and boring. No one expected what happened later, Ji Tong not only got Hang Jiabai done, but also completely turned him into a twenty-four filial boyfriend. He graduated a year earlier than her, and even though he was far away, he insisted on picking her up from school every Friday.
So she didn't dare to come back to her alma mater, for fear of meeting acquaintances and accidentally evoking some memories.
But it turned out to be recognized.
The head teacher, Mr. Hu, recognized Ji Tong at a glance, a little girl who was only twenty-five or sixteen years old at the time, and after so many years, there were obvious traces of time on her face. And Ji Tong is also growing up slowly, and Mr. Hu still remembers what she looked like when she was studying.
"It's been a busy few years, hasn't it?" Teacher Hu held her hand and smiled, "If you're busy, it's busy, it doesn't matter if you don't have time, the teacher won't blame you, why do you let Xiaohang bring so many things every time?" And the last time my mother was sick, thanks to you and Xiao Hang's help, the teacher has been planning to find time to invite you to dinner. ”
"......" Ji Tong looked sideways with a weak heart, and saw Hang Jiabai who was chatting with two old classmates not far away. I don't know what those people said, and suddenly they laughed. Hang Jiabai's smile was faint, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes fell on Ji Tong intentionally or unintentionally.
She suddenly felt like a person living in a dream, unable to see every detail of the real world.
Later, the two of them visited the garden together, and each class prepared their own games and prize tickets.
Hang Jiabai's former classroom was at the corner at the end of the corridor, and when Ji Tong went upstairs to the office, he would always peek at him "by the way". Most of the time he was working on questions or taking notes with his head down, occasionally casually looking out the window and just in time to meet her panicked gaze. In fact, although he is slow in this regard, he occasionally has shrewdness, especially when this girl is a thief, and those careful thoughts are clear to him.
"I remember your seat right in front of here." Ji Tong pointed to the back door and confirmed with him, "Right?" ”
"Well, that's half right."
"Where's the other half?"
"The other half, ......"
Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the warm invitation of the students at the door: "Senior, let's play a game together, we still have a group of people." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, so they had to sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman.
The content of the game is very simple, two people as a unit, one is expressed in the way of drawing, and the other guesses the words, testing the ability to describe and tacit understanding.
The other two groups are all high school students, and they seem to be quite familiar with this game, and they are full of confidence as soon as they come up, jokingly saying that they want to let some seniors and seniors.
The language, movements, and descriptions of drawings are fairly simple, and the most difficult thing is lip language, and no one can get through anything that is drawn. Ji Tong was lucky, he drew language and drawing several times in a row, and the two were far ahead on the map. Later, the children couldn't stand it anymore, so they used a prop and forcibly changed their description to lip language.
So she looked embarrassed and frowned at a word choice card.
Hang Jiabai comforted her: "It's okay, try it." ”
The high school student next to him coaxed: "Yes, senior sister, it's okay, you can't guess anyway, you can also choose to give up." ”
She took a long time, looked at Hang Jiabai's eyes seriously, and silently made a mouth shape.
While everyone else was confused and guessing the answers, Hang Jiabai said a word and ended the round in the shortest possible time.
"That's too fake, isn't it?" The male classmate who was coaxing just now looked at the two of them incredulously, "It shouldn't be cheating, right?" ”
So they took a few more cards and gave them to Ji Tong and asked her to lip-sync to everyone again, and the result was the same. Among all of them, only Hang Jiabai could guess. Later, the other two groups completely lost their will to fight, and began to form an alliance, one for them to cause trouble.
Especially when Ji Tong drew the answer, everyone was eager to try.
This time it was Hang Jiabai's turn to describe, he glanced at the words on the card, a determined smile appeared on his face, and he raised his eyes to look into her eyes, "Once we met ...... in a newly opened restaurant on Huaihai Road"
"Tomato!" When everyone was still confused, Ji Tong happily said the correct answer.
After all, people who have known each other for ten years always have a way to communicate with each other in a way that others don't know.
"What the hell......"
Hang Jiabai raised his eyebrows calmly amid the complaints of his classmates, he didn't care if he would leave a bad reputation for bullying his younger brothers and sisters, anyway, the girl's triumphant smile was more important than anything else.
After winning two lollipops, the two bad seniors left contentedly.
Ji Tong was about to open it, when another unpacked brown lollipop appeared in front of him, and his deep voice sounded sweet: "This one is cola-flavored." ”
She was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously took the candy, lowered her head and put it in her mouth.
For so many years, he always remembered her preferences.

Afterwards, Hang Jiabai was invited to the auditorium to share his experience and insights with the younger students who were about to take the college entrance examination.
Hang Jiabai was the first in the school during the college entrance examination that year, and sat with the alumni who won the first place in the other sessions, and everyone had a successful career, but he was just an ordinary surgeon. But Ji Tong felt that compared with those who were full of copper smell, powerful and returned to their alma mater with the aura of a strong man to show off, this simple surgeon was the real successful person.
After everyone came to the stage to share their experience, it was the question session of the students, and the first few people were not interested in the audience after speaking, but when they arrived at Hang Jiabai, it was a different scene.
"Senior, why do you want to be a doctor?"
"Senior, is it fun to be a doctor?"
"Senior, I heard that the doctor is very busy, do you have a girlfriend?"
“……”
The first few people on the stage looked embarrassed, but the teacher who knew Hang Jiabai in the audience had already expected it, with his hands on his chest, smiling at him being surrounded by a group of children asking questions. Hang Jiabai didn't expect her classmates to be so enthusiastic, and subconsciously glanced at Ji Tong in the audience, she actually laughed and gloated, looked at him expectantly, and specially applauded him.
Since she wants to hear it, then he just has to confess.
Hang Jiabai just thought about it, and naturally blurted out: "I fell in love in my third year of high school, and the other party was weak and sickly, and I often didn't know how to treat her well, so I could only ask her to drink more hot water." One day she got angry and blamed me for being useless, and that's all she could say. Then I changed my first choice on the application form to F University School of Medicine. It's such a simple reason, it sounds stupid, but so far, I haven't regretted it. ”
The students in the audience have blown up the sky, screaming and coaxing one after another. Ji Tong was completely dumbfounded, he had never told her about this. Before he could recover from the shock, he heard the people on the stage calmly answer the second question: "Practicing medicine is a very strict thing, and human lives are at stake at every turn, so it's not a joke." If there are any of you here who want to study medicine, I advise you to think carefully, because the process of studying medicine is very hard. In the future, you will have to carry a lot of things, probably far more than you think. ”
He answered this question very seriously, without a hint of joke. But his serious appearance is the most pleasing to the little girls now, and Ji Tong obviously heard the exclamations of the girls in the back row again and again.
"One last question. In fact, every profession has busy times, but if it is properly arranged, it will not affect your private life too much. Hangjiabai replied solemnly, "Hmm...... I actually mean ......"
His smiling gaze gradually fell, and then fell lightly on Ji Tong's face. She was confused by his sudden attention, and unconsciously pinched the corners of her clothes nervously, Hang Jiabai's appearance looked a little unfamiliar, and the smiling eyes told her that he seemed to want to say something that did not follow common sense.
The audience was silent for a few seconds.
After all, he still didn't make the answer in his heart public, but pretended to end the topic strictly: "Study hard first, don't always think about what you have and don't have." ”
Hang Jiabai's answer surprisingly caused the audience to burst into laughter, and ignited the curiosity of the students, and when more people raised their hands to ask questions, he had already waved his hand and walked off the stage unhurriedly.
sat down in the empty seat beside Ji Tong, leaned over and whispered, "You can continue, the other half." ”
Ji Tong was at a loss: "What? ”
"You may have forgotten, but I actually sat in the middle of the classroom at first." "Then I found out that a girl used to peek at me, sometimes at a bad angle, and stuck her neck out like a giraffe. I thought she was too tired like this and might get cervical spondylosis, so I changed seats at the back door with my classmates. ”
“……”
On the way home, Ji Tong was still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the day, and asked Hang Jiabai if he had learned lip language.
He shook his head and said firmly, "If it were you, you should be able to read my lips." ”
"Wouldn't it? I think it's so difficult. So she was interested, and strode up to him, looking at his lips by the light of the streetlamp, "Why don't you try it?" ”
"Okay." Hang Jiabai's eyes looked warm and bright in the faint light, and he cooperated with leaning down so that she could see more clearly up close.
"Ji Tong." These two words were her names, and she saw them at a glance, and was smiling and trying to ask him not to release the water, when she saw Hang Jiabai's lips move again, and silently made a five-word lip shape.
Ji Tong's face instantly turned red, and the fast-paced heartbeat sounded in his ears, flickering far and near.
She wished she had just misunderstood, but his eyes were staring at her for a moment, and there was no joke in them.
"Ji Tong, do you still love me?"
