A month has passed, and Xiang Hui still hasn't returned.

During the month, in addition to normal teaching, several things happened at the school. In addition to the special propaganda column for legal education, the writers of the essays on the propaganda board were praised, and there was also a certificate of merit for advanced legal learning; Outstanding students are publicly and harshly criticized; No. 5 Middle School won the title of Advanced Collective in Legal Education; The most sensational thing is that No. 5 Middle School punished a group of students.

As many as a dozen students were punished in this batch, the largest number in the history of the Fifth Middle School, and they were severely punished. Among them, there are persuasions, expulsion from school, probation, and the most severe direct expulsion. In view of the fact that junior high school students are still under the nine-year compulsory education, the most severe punishment for junior high school students is to be expelled from school and placed on probation. Of course, one or two were dissuaded. Later, everyone realized that those students who were placed on probation basically had a backstage.

What is strange to everyone is that Xiang Hui and Tu Yunxi are not among them. According to everyone's previous speculation, it is that both of them have been arrested. If you are caught, you will definitely be punished. However, the names of the two of them were not listed in the notice, and they did not go back to school. Are they really sick?

After another two weeks, the semester has come to an end, and students are immersed in their studies in preparation for the final exams. Whether the study of the legal system is advanced or backward, it has all become a thing of the past, and the results of the final examination are the last word. Xiang Hui still hasn't returned. Whether he really took sick leave or was arrested by the Public Security Bureau, the students no longer cared, and everyone only cared about the final exam. Only An Su was still paying attention to whether he had come back, although he knew that he had not had an accident, but after such a long time, he still hadn't come back, and he was still a little worried. In fact, she didn't know why she was worried, just as she didn't know why she kept thinking about the motorcycle in the depths of the alley.

There is a new arrangement for the final exam room, which is not based on the previous class, but on the grade level, with a single person and a single table, and the ranking is based on the results of the mid-term exam, and the first place and the last row are pushed forward. In this way, there may be classmates you don't know before and after the exam room. Due to the uniform time of the final examination in the whole school and the lack of classroom space, some students were arranged to temporary examination rooms such as the Alumni Building and the Real Yàn Building.

An Su was arranged on the third floor of the alumni building, and during the past three days, there were classmates I didn't know each other, which didn't hurt. Because until the moment before the exam, everyone was still immersed in hard reading, for fear of missing a knowledge point.

After the last subject was completed on the afternoon of the third day, the winter vacation officially began, and everyone rushed out of the examination room after handing in the papers. The stairs were suddenly jammed. An Su followed everyone downstairs, slowly moved to the turn of the stairs on the second and third floors, and saw a familiar figure coming out of the examination room on the second floor, that was Xiang Hui.

He's finally back.

When he came back, he said that a qiē had passed and that he was safe and sound. The moment he saw him, An Su was overjoyed, and the hanging heart was finally completely let go. Her eyes were fixed on him, and the usual pride on her face was gone, only exhaustion and haggardness. She didn't know what he'd been through all this time, but it seemed like he had thought a lot. From now on, will Xiang Hui turn back into the boy who only plays pranks with her? Thinking of this, An Suwei smiled.

Xiang Hui felt the gaze of others on him, and as soon as he looked up, he saw An Su. The moment he saw her, he was stunned. The two of them just looked at each other through a dozen stairs and a crowded crowd.

At this moment, they only have each other in their eyes.

The urging of the classmates behind made Xiang Hui retract his gaze and follow everyone down the stairs.

Seeing that Xiang Hui didn't go back downstairs, An Su felt a little lost in his heart, he still regarded himself as a stranger. But why did he have to protect her as a stranger again and again? Is it just because she is Liu Hui's daughter? Xiang Hui's thoughts, she couldn't figure it out. But it doesn't matter, he's safe. But what she didn't expect was that when she walked out of the gate of the alumni building, she saw Xiang Hui standing not far away with a schoolbag on his shoulder, staring at her intently.

Ansu didn't know if he was waiting for her, hesitated for a moment, plucked up the courage to walk towards him, the closer she walked, the more she could see the smile in his eyes, and she couldn't help but smile. Until she stood in front of him, he still didn't say a word, just looked at her with a smile on his face.

"You're back!" It's not a question, it's something Ansu has wanted to say for so long, and that's how much she cares about him.

Xiang Hui nodded: "Hmm! ”

The two walked side by side, seemingly with nothing else to say. But Ansu knew that from now on, even if they didn't speak, they would no longer be strangers.

For Xiang Hui, he was nervous at the moment, this was the first time the two walked together alone. Although he has dealt with many girls and children, he does not know how to get along with Ansu. Because Ansu is different from other girls who have come into contact with him. He really didn't know what was different, maybe it was just different in his heart. People are like this, the more they care, the more careful they are, and the more careful they are, the more likely they are to suffer from gains and losses.

As soon as he came back, he learned from Peng Dongjun that An Su cared about him, and he was so excited that he almost jumped. This is the happiest thing he has done in the past two years. He had been thinking about what to say when he saw Ansu, but when she was really standing in front of him, he found that he couldn't say anything, and he didn't know where to go with his usual good eloquence, and could only look at her with a smile.

An Su also didn't expect to meet Xiang Hui outside the examination room, and she didn't know what to say to Xiang Hui. Ask him how he's been doing during this time? If such a big thing happened, he was urgently sent to the field, how could it be good. Ask him how he did on the exam? If you haven't been to school for such a long time, you will definitely fall behind in class, and how can you do well in the exam.

The two walked in silence for a short while, and Xiang Hui thought for a long time and finally found a topic.

"When are you going home?"

"Tomorrow."

Xiang Hui tried to say, "I'll send you back." ”

An Su shook his head: "No! ”

Xiang Hui wanted to ask if he could see her during the summer vacation, but he was embarrassed to ask directly, so he thought about it and asked, "Will you go to your mother's house during the summer vacation?" ”

Ansu shook her head.

Xiang Hui was disappointed, she didn't have a phone at home, and it was very inconvenient to contact. But it doesn't matter if you think about it, since she doesn't come, then he just goes to her. He knew where her home was anyway. "I remember you had a big mulberry tree, right?"

Ansu nodded: "Yes." This year, I had a lot of fruit, and I ate it when I went back two weeks ago. I don't know if there's anything else going on. ”

"Wissan and Zi, they must stop respectfully." Xiang Hui read it out casually.

"You know that, too?"

Xiang Hui smiled, remembering the first time the poem came out of her mouth. "I'll go play with you during the summer vacation."

Ansu nodded. She thought for a moment and said, "If you come, tell me in advance." I was basically at Myohoji Temple during the holidays. ”

Hearing this, Xiang Hui's smile froze on his face. According to his proud personality in the past, he would definitely turn around and leave, but they had been estranged for nearly two years, and they finally took a step closer to each other, and he didn't want to push her away again. He asked Ansu in a consultative tone, "Can you not go to Myofa Temple?" ”

An Su didn't think about it, and directly refused.

Xiang Hui didn't expect her to refuse so simply. Didn't she go to Miaofa Temple because Shi Jingming was there? Thinking of this, my heart was sour for a while, and I couldn't bear to let myself have a seizure.

An Su didn't notice his displeasure, and told him that he spent every winter and summer vacation in Miaofa Temple, and the abbot of the temple, Master Zhishan, was her master, and she had been learning Chinese painting from her master since she was a child, and she had been studying for many years.

"Learn Chinese painting?" Xiang Hui was surprised, and the anger in his heart was instantly extinguished. "I didn't know you could paint."

"There's so much you don't know."

An Su said it casually, and he didn't notice the coquettishness in his tone at all, but it was very different in Xiang Hui's ears, and he couldn't help grinning when he heard it. After two years, Xiang Hui saw An Su's smile again, just like in his memory. At that moment, Xiang Hui was so glad that he could return to this campus. Unable to hide his joy, he hummed a song softly.

That was the first time An Su heard Xiang Hui sing, although it was a voice change period, but he still thought it sounded good. It was a Cantonese song, she couldn't understand the lyrics, but the melody was very beautiful, which made people feel sweet when they listened to it. She couldn't help but look at Xiang Hui and found that he was smiling at her while humming a song.

At that moment, Ansu was moved.

Many years later, she heard the song again on a program commemorating Chen Baiqiang, which was originally called "Ripples". At that time, she could understand Cantonese and listen to the still beautiful melody, she no longer remembered the sweetness and emotion when she first listened to it, only the hatred for the person who sang at the beginning.
