Chapter 10: The Past Is Lingering
In the next room to Ren Xiaotian's ward, there were three elderly people in their seventies, sitting there in groups, forming a strange combination.
In the middle is a bald-headed and red-faced old man, whose voice is like a bell, and at this time he looks like he is going to rush out of the city and fight with people.
On the right is an old man with a wrinkled face and a slightly thin body. Coughing and smoking.
The old man on the left, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looks a little bookish, and speaks unhurriedly. It's just that the eyes are as sharp as arrows, which makes people a little afraid to look at them.
At this time, the old men on the left and right were each grabbing one of the arms of the red-faced old man in the middle, refusing to let him rush out of the ward. Although the three of them were arguing constantly, they all spoke quietly, as if they were afraid of being heard by others.
If Ren Xiaotian, who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, came to take a look, he would be able to tell the identities of these people.
The person who was angry in the middle was his grandfather Ren Sihai. The old man on the left is the old spy he just helped settle down in the morning, named Xiang Ziliang. As for the old man on the right, who is not in good health, it is Quan Zhongxian, the retired old principal of the city middle school.
Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to tell how the three old men had come together, let alone what they were arguing about. Of course, he wouldn't care about that. Ren Xiaotian, who is already on the front line of life and death, is too lazy to ask about everything in the outside world.
At this time, he couldn't hear the content of the quarrel between the three old men, and he didn't want to care about everything outside his body, because his mind was full of many unpleasant pasts.
When he was in high school, Ren Xiaotian was a well-known honor student in the whole grade, and he always occupied the top spot in the entrance examination together with another female classmate named Li Ruohan. After a long time, due to the countless common languages between each other, the two people got closer and closer, and finally became lovers who didn't see each other for a day, like every three autumns.
The two made an appointment to go to the same university, study the same major, and be a pair of fairy couples who do not compete for fame and fortune and only do business.
It stands to reason that high school students are not allowed to fall in love. A pair of talented, good-looking, and idealistic lovers like them, no one raised objections. Even the homeroom teacher, whom the students call 'old-fashioned', gave the green light to their relationship.
Of course, there have been protests that teachers do not treat everyone equally. The head teacher didn't explain too much, but just asked the other party to get the same good results as Ren Xiaotian and Li Ruohan. A faint sentence made all those who were not convinced shut their mouths.
Every year on the eve of the college entrance examination, a little famous middle school will have some recommended places for outstanding students to enter institutions of higher learning without taking the exam. This year was no exception, and the school announced the results of the recommendation in advance. Li Ruohan was recommended to Yenching University, and Ren Xiaotian was recommended to Fuyuan University in Huanghai City.
No one thought that Ren Xiaotian would give up such an opportunity.
Without taking an exam, you can be directly recommended to study in a prestigious university, such a good thing, others can't imagine, they are all first-class famous universities in China. Unexpectedly, Ren Xiaotian gave up the school's recommendation and declared to the public: "I want to be admitted to Yenching University with my own strength." ”
Those in the know know that before this, their little lovers had already agreed to study at the same university. In order to achieve this goal, Ren Xiaotian of course had to give up this recommendation.
No one objected to his decision, because he had this strength. Besides, the school can take care of another related household for the place he gave up.
In this way, when the other recommended students have begun to raise their glasses to celebrate, Ren Xiaotian is still actively preparing for the competition, working hard for himself and his lover to study at Yenching University side by side. Li Ruohan is always by his side, making tea for him, wiping his sweat, washing and cooking.
This kind of life makes Ren Xiaotian very proud. What is called red sleeves and fragrance, this is the best portrayal. Although the other students in the dormitory were also very jealous and jealous, there was no way to do it.
On the morning of the day he walked into the examination room, that is, six years ago today, Ren Xiaotian, who was full of ambition, stood in the square outside the examination room early and waited. Because they had already made an appointment, Li Ruohan would come to the examination room to cheer for Ren Xiaotian.
As time passed, Ren Xiaotian's mood became more and more irritable. The candidate had already begun to enter, but he still didn't see the figure of the lover in his heart. The longer it goes, the heavier his heart becomes, could something happen?
I couldn't wait, I didn't come either, and it wasn't until the bell rang in the exam room that the lover belatedly appeared in Ren Xiaotian's sight. At this critical moment of the most sprint, the lover is like this, and Ren Xiaotian secretly feels bad in his heart. It seems that it is not just lateness, there may be other reasons as well.
Li Ruohan came in a car, and he got out of the car with a very handsome young man wearing a brand-name Armani suit. Under the embrace of the young man, the lover walked in front of Ren Xiaotian.
The little white face, showing a mouthful of white teeth, said with a smile: "Ren Xiaotian, I came with my fiancée and made a special trip to wish you good results." Try your best, and don't let us down. ”
Fiancee? Fiancee! At that time, Ren Xiaotian, after all, was a student who had not entered the society, how could he have expected such a thing to happen. I was stunned for a while, and I didn't say half a word for a while.
When the other party saw Ren Xiaotian, who was blushing but couldn't speak, he was so happy that he laughed. Not only is he laughing, but he is laughing so proudly that his whole body is shaking. After laughing a few times, he patted Ren Xiaotian's shoulder very proudly, and said 'goodbye' again, and hugged Li Ruohan and walked away.
Before going to the examination room, I encountered the matter of lovers empathizing with other lovers, and the matter of being snatched away from love. You say, is this a kind of 'cup' of life? No matter how good Ren Xiaotian's mentality is, no matter how much he advocates the state of mind of being free and unwanted, there will still be a blow like an electric shock.
After all, he was still a kid who hadn't experienced the wind.
If that's it, that's it. Unfortunately, the blow doesn't stop there. Or rather, it's just the beginning.
After watching the car that caused him pain gradually move away, Ren Xiaotian staggered towards the campus. He didn't know how Lu Dao walked into the examination room, he only knew that Lu Dao was usually the best at the language, and none of the exam questions could be understood.
Those words have all turned into question marks, for what, for what...... One after another, they were tearing at his aching heart. In this way, he handed over a blank paper for his language exam.
The news that a highly talented student took the college entrance examination and handed in a blank paper immediately shocked the entire school. Fortunately, the retired old principal of the school, Grandpa Quan, rushed to hear the news and did a lot of hard work to make him regain his spirits and barely cope with the next exams.
An honor student who aspired to Yenching University ended up being reluctantly admitted to the Provincial Police College. You must know that this school was only at the college level at that time. You say, is this a scene of life's 'cups'?
When he arrived at the police academy in the provincial capital, Ren Xiaotian learned from the pain. He focused all his energy on his studies and wanted to dig again. He wants everyone to see that Ren Xiaotian is a man who can't be defeated.
He is a leader in his studies and has become an excellent talent in the hearts of teachers. Even the school leaders have long been outspoken, saying that they have selected this good seedling and want to keep him in school to work.
The sorrow in my heart cannot be erased. Ren Xiaotian always likes to sit in front of the window under the sunset, and the residual sun reflects on his faint smile with a hint of melancholy, but it makes him win the favor of Yi Zhihan and Tranquility Willow, the school flowers of the same grade.
It's just that the old wounds haven't healed yet, and Ren Xiaotian dares to accept the love of the school flower. His indifferent appearance made Yi Zhihan and Ning Jingliu secretly nickname him the 'Wooden Man'.
On the first night before the assignment, four classmates and roommates who got along very well met to go to the restaurant outside for a drink. On the wine table, the pride and ambition that are not pure, and the beautiful life that cannot be depicted.
Ren Xiaotian's heart was intoxicated, he felt that he was resurrected, and he was looking forward to the blueprint of his life. Don't oppress the people, don't flatter, do something useful, be an upright policeman, and be a conscientious policeman.
On the way back to school from the hotel, I happened to meet two young men who were molesting women. A little drunk, coupled with the fact that he was about to become a policeman who was about to uphold justice and dispel evil, of course a few young people rushed forward bravely.
Ren Xiaotian was the most courageous, and when he saw a very arrogant man, standing there with his teeth and claws, he waved his fist without saying anything.
The boy was very arrogant, and when he saw four reserve policemen in police uniforms rushing up, he was not afraid at all, and stood there very arrogantly and threatened: "Boy, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs. In this world, there are some people and some things that you little policemen can't control. If you have to be strong, you will not be able to eat and walk around. ”
Hearing that the other party was so arrogant, he hadn't left the school gate yet, and Ren Xiaotian, who was still in a passionate mood, how could he be willing to back down half a step! In the haze of alcohol, he felt that the kid opposite him looked similar to the man who accompanied his first love to the examination room to be cool and let him hand over the white papers.
At this moment, in front of Ren Xiaotian's eyes, the little white face suddenly appeared smiling proudly. He was even more annoyed in his heart, and all the thoughts of being free or not, calm or not, were all thrown into the back of his mind.
Evil rose from the heart, anger to the side of the guts, and without hesitation, he waved his fist. Ren Xiaotian, who was full of jealousy, unceremoniously added a few more efforts in the conflict with that little white face. Coincidentally, the other party is also a gentleman who has been hollowed out by wine, and of course he is not Ren Xiaotian's opponent.
Such a dozen was very happy and fruitful, and accidentally broke two ribs. Will this kind of righteous and courageous thing be praised by the school?
