26. Chapter XXVI
New Year's Day.
The quilt was so warm that people missed it, Wang Ren opened his eyes, Ling Xiao had already gotten up, there was still temperature left in the quilt, he looked at the ceiling and woke up, looked at the clock, it was already seven o'clock, so he got dressed and got up.
He touched his clothes, but he touched a hard object, he fixed his eyes, a red envelope with 'good luck' written on it and a red box, he looked around, and finally felt the box and opened it.
Inside the box was a black mobile phone with the words 'New Year's Gift' written on a small red note next to it.
At this time, the door opened, and then Ling Xiao walked in, saw Wang Ren opening the box, chuckled, walked to the side of the bed and squatted down, looked at Wang Ren's eyes and asked in a low voice, "Do you like it?" ”
Wang Ren put the box down, turned his head and said, "Why did you give me my mobile phone?" ”
Ling Xiao continued: "I gave you my number back then, but you never called me, I don't know you don't have a mobile phone." Then he opened the box again, took out the mobile phone inside, opened the contact, there was only one number on it, the note was Ling Xiao, he shook it on Wang Ren's face, "Na, at this time my number, you have to call me." ”
He squatted on the ground, a little shorter than Wang Ren sitting on the bed, he looked up at Wang Ren's eyes, his nose was very high and his eyebrows were very deep, it was difficult to see the light in his eyes, but because of this action, the light outside the window penetrated into his eyes, his eyebrows seemed to hang down slightly, and there was a bit of idiotic tenderness between his eyebrows.
Wang Ren deliberately didn't look at him, and quickly began to get dressed, and said, "I lost the note with the number written on it." Then he stole a glance at Ling Xiao's reaction.
Ling Xiao's expression was still a little smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said dotingly: "I guessed this a long time ago, so don't lose this number." ”
Wang Ren focused on his clothes and did not answer.
Ling Xiao stared at him for a while, and suddenly said, "I'll leave later." ”
Wang Ren turned his head to look at him, and also stopped putting on his clothes, a little surprised.
"I'm going back to City A, and I'm going to go back a year ago." He reached out and stroked Wang Ren's back, and his voice was a little dull: "I may not see you for a long time, I'm afraid that you will forget me, so I want you to be a little impressed with me." ”
His hand touched Wang Ren's face, and his thumb gently rubbed against the corner of his eye, looking into his eyes.
"Will you forget me?"
Wang Ren looked at him and didn't say anything.
"You're still so young, I'm just afraid of you, I'm afraid of you..." he paused suddenly, as if the next words made him uncomfortable and couldn't speak.
“… I'm afraid you'll like someone else. ”
There was a sudden silence in the atmosphere.
Wang Ren took his hand away, got up and put on his shoes, and then said while folding the quilt: "Don't worry, I won't like others." After folding the quilt, he clapped his hands and continued: "But I didn't say I liked you." ”
Then he walked out of the room without looking back.
Ling Xiao stayed in the quiet room, and the smell of teenagers remained in the air, as if he hadn't walked away yet. The sunlight shone in through the window, the thin and not warm morning sunlight, but it made the room have the illusion of becoming warm, the fine dust slowly floated in the air, flying over the bridge of Ling Xiao's tall nose, his pupils were brown in the sun, and he suddenly chuckled.
Ling Xiao was about to leave on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and his grandmother couldn't keep it, so in the end she only stuffed him with a red envelope and asked him to come often.
Ling Xiao didn't want to accept the old man's red envelope, but his grandmother only said that he must accept it for the New Year, so he didn't shirk it.
He didn't have much luggage, just a travel bag, he carried it easily, took a deep look at Wang Ren, and turned to walk.
Wang Ren stood at the door, looking at the street outside a festive red, but there were few pedestrians, the morning sun accompanied by the cold wind, rolling up the crumbs of firecrackers on the ground, the beautiful red seemed to be sprinkled from the sky, but the sky and the earth were empty.
It wasn't until the day before school started that Wang Ren and his grandmother returned to H City, and Wang Ren almost read at home throughout the New Year, and only went to Zhao Qiang's house to celebrate the New Year for his grandfather, and Zhao Qiang did not go home for the New Year.
No. 1 Middle School has started lively again, many students are a little fatter, Wang Ren completed the admission procedures early, his heart has been very quiet, reading books as usual.
In the class, he was only a little familiar with Li Tairan, and now that Li Tairan has transferred to another school, few people are looking for him to play, occasionally Ren Xiaoqing will come to him, and more often he is reading books or doing questions alone. Sometimes I go to play ball, or walk around alone. Occasionally, when I open my phone, I will receive a text message from Ling Xiao, sometimes I just look at it, and sometimes I reply to it.
He has received a lot of love letters, and he has slowly learned the best words to reject girls.
The life of a student is a cycle of weeks, the days are faster than the flowing water, the trees have long been so lush that people have forgotten their bare appearance in winter, they know the monotonous chirping hidden in the branches, and the semester is the end of the semester in the second year of high school.
At the end of last semester, Wang Ren was admitted to the fifth in the grade, and when the results of the next semester came out, he had improved to the second place, only one point short of the first place.
The hot summer months are warmly welcomed by the young students because the summer vacation is coming.
There is no difference between summer vacation and not for Wang Ren, the amount of learning has not decreased, and will increase appropriately, and the medical book 'three principles and one analysis' has also been roughly read.
On the day of the holiday, the weather was very clear, the daylight at dusk gradually weakened, the temperature began to become comfortable, the wind was strong, and there was a trace of warmth that did not fade.
In a corner next to a dessert shop, Wang Ren saw Ren Xiaoqing, wearing a wide school uniform and carrying a schoolbag, talking to another girl. The girl was wearing a knee-length off-white sleeveless dress, her long black hair was spread out, she looked beautiful and innocent, she pulled Ren Xiaoqing, as if talking to her anxiously, she was a little excited, Wang Ren was sure to see that the girl was actually Yu Yiling!
Wang Ren hid aside and quietly approached until the sound reached his ears.
"Ren Xiaoqing! I've only known you in H City! Her hand grabbed Ren Xiaoqing's wrist tightly, her expression was very excited, as if she was guarding against something, uneasy and nervous.
Ren Xiaoqing couldn't break free, she was a little overwhelmed but didn't want to be nosy, she said angrily: "Don't catch me!" It hurts! I don't know you well! How can I explain to my dad if you live in my house?! ”
Yu Yiling grabbed her wrist a little more lightly, but stubbornly didn't let go, and her voice was almost a little pleading: "You just say that I am your classmate, just stay for a few days, I will go to work and earn the travel expenses, I will leave, please..."
Her appearance is a little pitiful, she is also beautiful, and her voice with a crying voice is even more unbearable, Ren Xiaoqing instantly softened, but at the same time, Ren Xiaoqing thought of something else, she asked: "Isn't your brother also in H City?" It's good for you to follow him, why do you have to live in someone else's house? ”
It was as if a palace string had been broken suddenly, sharp and painful, her eyes suddenly became sad, her expression was a little panicked, and she said wordlessly: "I... You've been taking me in for a few days..."
Ren Xiaoqing saw that she was secretive and didn't tell the truth, and she was afraid of causing trouble, so she broke free from her hand while she was unprepared, and quickly ran away.
Yu Yiling's hand shook in the air, as if she had suddenly drained her strength, and her whole person was a little depressed, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Wang Ren standing in front of her.
She hung her head, her long black hair covered part of her face, the whole face looked smaller, but gloomy, she cautiously followed behind Wang Ren, waited for the elevator door to open, and followed in.
She was a little far away from Wang Ren, standing behind Wang Ren's left, listening carefully to what Wang Ren said.
"You tie your hair up, and when my grandma asks, you will say that you are my junior high school classmate, you came to H City to play, the money was stolen, you live in my house for a few days, and you can leave when your family comes to pick you up, you know?"
"Got it." Yu Yiling replied in a low voice, and then tied her hair up.
The sixth floor arrived after a while, Yu Yiling was a little nervous, opened the door and saw that there were a lot of clutter in the house, but it was neatly tied, the evening sun penetrated, it looked warm, Wang Ren's grandmother sat on the sofa, watching TV peacefully.
I don't know why, she suddenly wanted to cry.
Then she heard a kind call: "I'm back." Then his voice changed, and he was a little surprised: "This girl is...?"
Grandma looked at Yu Yiling who was standing behind Wang Ren.
Yu Yiling tied her hair up, stood at the door and looked a little well-behaved, she shouted obediently: "Hello grandma, I am Wang Ren's classmate." ”
Wang Ren also explained: "She is my junior high school classmate, called Yu Yiling, who used to be in the same class. She came to H city to play, her wallet was stolen, she just met me, I brought her back, and her family came to pick her up in a few days, grandma, is it okay for her to stay in our house for a few days? ”
Grandma looked strange, looked Yu Yiling up and down, looked at Wang Ren again, and finally said in a harmonious voice: "We still have a room in our house, girl, you live there, okay?" ”
Yu Yiling was grateful and restrained, and whispered, "Thank you, grandma." ”
Then under the enthusiastic gaze of her grandmother, Wang Ren took Yu Yiling to the room to clean up, and as soon as she arrived in the room, Yu Yiling cried, she covered her eyes and said thank you to Wang Ren twice!
Grandma was lying at the door listening, and suddenly the door opened, she was startled unsuspectingly, and when she saw Wang Ren come out, she immediately pulled him aside, and stared at the room where Yu Yiling lived, looking a little nervous.
As if he was afraid that people would hear, he asked Wang Ren in a low voice, "You tell grandma the truth, that girl is really just your classmate?" ”
Wang Ren was a little helpless, he knew what his grandmother was thinking, and he told her very seriously and formally: "Really! Schoolmate! I can't help but live in our house. ”
Grandma looked sideways and said distrustfully: "Ah Ren, don't you fall in love!" On TV, puppy love affects learning! ”
At this time, the door suddenly opened, Yu Yiling's eyes were red, and she asked in a low voice, "I want to drink some water, can I pour it?" ”
Grandma was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "I'll come, I'll come!" ”
Before Yu Yiling could fully react, her grandmother had already poured water. She whispered "thank you" and went into the room.
Grandma stared at the door and said, "That little girl is very beautiful!" Ah Ren, I sue you! You can't fall in love in high school! University can! You can't be in a relationship right now, you know? How is her grades? You have to be admitted to the same university to be together! ”
Wang Ren felt that she could no longer talk to her grandmother, what was she thinking? I make up so many things in my brain at once! Dinner Yu Yiling and Wang Ren spent under the strange gaze of their grandmother, and they also wanted to find out her household registration while serving Yu Yiling vegetables.
How's the result? Which school to study in? What is the job of a parent? Yu Yiling was so nervous that she almost couldn't make it up, but fortunately, Wang Ren had already thought about dealing with such a situation and dealt with it.
It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that grandma went to bed, and Yu Yiling and Wang Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Ren sat casually on the sofa, and Yu Yiling lowered her head and played with her fingernails. In a tone like a normal chat, Wang Ren asked her, "How is your brother?" ”
Yu Yiling trembled slightly.
