23. Metaphor

"If this is the case you are talking about, the possibility of recovery is very high, the key is the stimulation and recovery of language, you should note that before the age of six is the best time for children with autism to recover"

After listening to Gu Nanfeng's description of Xiao Qi's condition, Lin Zhen pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and nodded.

This good news made Gu Nanfeng's lips flush with a happy smile, and he bowed slightly to him.

"Thank you, Professor Lin."

Lin Zhen returned the book in his hand to her, "The final exam is coming, and I still have to review more if I have time, after all, psychology is only an elective, and I am optimistic about you on the scholarship in this college."

The professor, who was over half a hundred years old, made a naughty face at her, and his relaxed tone also made Gu Nanfeng laugh, "Knowing Teacher Lin, then I won't disturb your work."

If I can get that large amount of scholarship, I can buy a washing machine for my family when I go back for the Chinese New Year, so that my grandmother will not wash clothes by hand in the winter and her hands will be covered with frostbite.

Just as she was walking back to her dorm room with her heart full, another big battle had just ended in the hotel.

Ming Hao went to take a bath, Song Zhixia felt a little tired lying on the bed, and was about to sleep for a while with his eyes closed, when the mobile phone at the bedside suddenly lit up.

She took it with her hand, her face was instantly ugly, and her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were frosted.

She quickly replied a few words, deleted it and pressed the back button, only to see something even more unsightly, and the surging anger mixed with sadness overwhelmed her.

When Minghao came back, he had a bath towel around his waist, revealing a smooth and strong upper body, and he felt a little strange when he saw her sitting motionless on the bed, "What's wrong with you?" โ€

He was greeted by a slap on the face, he roared, and grabbed the hem of her pajamas, "What are you nervous about?!" โ€

Song Zhixia also had red eyes and threw the phone in front of him, "How many girlfriends do you have?!" โ€

"What girlfriend...... It's just ......" he muttered in a low voice, picked up the phone, and felt inexplicably annoyed, "Who let you touch my phone without my permission!" โ€

Song Zhixia sneered, "Your **is**, my** not?" You'd better explain what's going on with those photos on your phone?! โ€

Frame by frame is full of all kinds of photos of two people when they are ambiguous together, not only hers, but also other people's.

Some people like to kiss, some people like โ–กโ–ก, almost all of them have their own unspeakable habits, and what Myungho hides the most is that he likes to take pictures of himself in various poses when he is in love.

The secret was revealed at once, and Ming Hao was a little annoyed, "You fucking look at Lao Tzu's things, aren't you?!" โ€

"Why can't I watch it? If I don't look at it, I don't know that you are so dirty! Which one of you was wearing was not bought for you by me, the Givenchy lighter a few days ago, which time you didn't buy it for you when you opened your mouth! Minghao, are you right about me?! โ€

Minghao's family conditions are not good, and after coming to the bright city of B, he was quickly blinded by the prosperity and fell into the abyss.

He is not as down-to-earth and hard-working as the south wind, and he dances well in a handsome dance, and has almost constant admirers, and has dated more than three girlfriends at the same time, and has made love with them, just to satisfy his empty heart and shriveled wallet.

Her words pierced his fragile self-esteem, and he didn't hesitate to fan the face that was still in turmoil with him just now.

"It's great to be rich! It's not โ–กโ–ก to be yet! โ€

In the coffee shop on the corner, when there were too many people in the library in the past, she and Song Zhixia would come here with books, order a cappuccino, and spend an afternoon quietly.

However, she had been holding that cup of coffee for a long time today, and she hadn't turned the book, her eyes were empty, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Gu Nanfeng raised her head after translating an ancient text, she still maintained this posture, and a sigh overflowed from her lips.

"Zhixia, I'm worried about you"

Song Zhixia came back to his senses, unconsciously stirred the coffee in the cup, and didn't drink it.

Her expression was haggard, and although she covered it with delicate makeup, the fingerprints on her face could not be blocked no matter what.

"You said we were best friends, why can't you tell me?"

In the soothing music, Song Zhixia's eyes gradually turned red, not that he didn't tell her, but he didn't know how to speak.

said that she had a relationship after being drugged by Ming Hao, and continued to be together after that, until today I found out that he was not only having an affair with a girl, but also filmed his own โ–กโ–ก, so she couldn't say anything about it.

It doesn't matter whether the relationship is close or not, she is Nanfeng's best friend, and she is not, but her innate pride is at work, people are so strange, they can put down their self-esteem in front of the people they love, but they erect iron walls in front of the people closest to them.

In the silence, Song Zhixia's tears fell on the table one by one, pale flowers swam out, and there seemed to be a bitter taste of tears in the air.

She has never been a crying person, but recently she has frequently shown her vulnerability in front of herself, Gu Nanfeng's heart was pinched fiercely, she simply left her seat and walked to her side and sat down.

"Zhixia, what happened? Is it okay for you to sue me? Her expression was anxious, and there was a faint emotion in her eyes that she couldn't understand.

"Is Minghao bullying you again? He hit you?! Gu Nanfeng stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, his movements were cautious, the skin in his palm was gentle and delicate, almost making people a little unable to put it down.

It's just that those deep and shallow red marks still burned her eyes, and the sharp edge of the eyes of the always gentle girl lit up little by little.

"Why did he hit you?! A big man ...... "Because of her excitement, she raised her voice slightly, and the people around looked back with an inquiring expression.

Xiao Xubai put down the magazine, took a sip of coffee, the corners of her lips slightly hooked up a trace of unexplained arc, and when she turned her head, she saw Song Zhixia pulling her out of the coffee shop.

The night breeze dried the damp marks on her face, and after turning a few street corners and walking over a few overpasses, Song Zhixia found a bench and sat down, and Gu Nanfeng followed her all the time.

Watching her shiver and take out a cigarette from her bag, after lighting it a few times without lighting it, she walked over and lit a lighter for her.

Song Zhixia took a deep breath, the once innocent and bright turned into a deep depression, and there was even a little bit of flattery in his gestures.

She took out another cigarette case and handed it to her, Gu Nanfeng didn't answer, and after leaving Yunhe KTV, she swore not to smoke again.

Song Zhixia smiled, "The first time I saw you, I knew that you were not the kind of good girl who lived an ordinary life."

"Everyone has secrets, South Wind, why don't you"

No matter how good she looks and how cold and arrogant she is, she can't hide the exhaustion after the vicissitudes of life revealed in her eyes.

Gu Nanfeng actually wanted to say, I only hid two things from you, one is that I once sat on the stage, and the object of sale was a woman.

The second thing is, I'm ......

When Song Zhixia thought she wouldn't pick it up, Gu Nanfeng reached out and took it, lit it neatly, and swallowed the clouds and fog under the dim street lamp.

"Zhixia, have you ever thought about it...... Minghao, he's not suitable for you......"

Song Zhixia nodded, she had already recognized this reality, but she still couldn't stop her gradually sinking heart.

From the first time I met him on the basketball court, he shot three-pointers in a chic and beautiful posture, although he smashed on the basket and rolled down in front of her, she picked it up and returned it to him without hesitation, and asked for the phone number by the way.

When he bowed his head and thanked himself, Song Zhixia's heart that had been silent for twenty years was pounding at this moment.

She has been used to going to the best elementary school, the best high school, and the top university in China since she was a child, and she is waiting to continue to study abroad after graduating from her bachelor's degree, and find a stable job after returning to China or work in a government unit with her father's relationship.

Only Ming Hao was an accident in her life, Song Zhixia sniffed, snuffed out the cigarette on the ground, and there were already piles of cigarette butts under her feet, she finally opened her mouth.

"South Wind, I'm going to break up with Minghao"

The light in Gu Nanfeng's eyes, who heard this answer, lit up in an instant, "Zhixia, maybe...... You have someone more suitable than him."

Song Zhixia smiled bitterly, turned his head to look at her, his eyes burned as if he wanted to stare at a flower, "Love is like a glass of water, when you give it to the first person to drink, it is full at most, he is tired of drinking it and puts it down, you meet the second person, or this glass of water, there is less than half left, he drank a few sips and felt bored, after he left, there was a third person who wanted to drink this glass of water, so you gave it all to him, at that time there was only a little bit at the bottom of the cup"

"We live in reality, there is no way to shout not to be afraid to love like in the novel, it's like being a virgin, whether it's you, I can't do it"

Tonight's Song Zhixia was calm and wise, a little terrifying, these words made her unable to refute, and some of the things she alluded to also made her heart sad.

"So, South Wind I hope your first love and Mimi, it's best to walk from the school uniform to the wedding dress"

And that person wouldn't be her, and it couldn't be her.

There was a stinging feeling that the secret had been spied on, Gu Nanfeng lowered his head, and held back the tears that came out of his eyes.

Is it because I have too much heart......

She used to live under the same roof with her, going in and out together every day, going to class and eating and reading together, and even going to the toilet hand in arm, lying in bed at night and texting each other, as if there was endless talk.

We always lack warmth, we are always prone to loneliness, and how many of us blur the boundaries between friendship and love, in those ambiguities that seem to be nothing.

Gu Nanfeng lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling with her eyes open, crying silently, the phone lit up, she picked it up, it was Xiao Xubai.

"Do you have time tomorrow?"

Immediately followed by another one, "Qiqi watched a cartoon today, and she said she wanted to go to the playground to play"
