When Dai Xu said this, it didn't seem that he didn't want to continue the topic, but as if he wanted to wait for a more suitable environment and opportunity, Fang Yuan couldn't tell what he was thinking, but he nodded cooperatively.
The two of them drove to the house, and while the food was still warm and they didn't have time to change their clothes, they washed their hands and sat down at the table to eat the meal first. Maybe it was because of something on his mind, Dai Xu didn't say a word during a meal, he had been eating his own food silently, he hadn't even raised his head much, it seemed that while eating, he was still thinking about something, Fang Yuan peeked at him several times, and he didn't notice it in the slightest.
Dai Xu's appearance was really a little abnormal, and Fang Yuan inexplicably felt a little nervous in his heart.
After eating, Dai Xu simply cleaned up the table. Because the two of them came back with takeout to eat, there were basically no dishes and chopsticks that needed to be washed, as long as the lunch box was put away. Throw it and wipe the table again. After finishing this, he cleared his throat and motioned to Fang Yuan not to rush back to the room first, and to sit in the living room for a while.
Fang Yuan saw that his attitude was serious, so he sat down on the sofa without saying a word.
Dai Xu did not sit down, but stood opposite Fang Yuan. He seemed a little hesitant, but he still asked, "Are you really going to agree to your mother's request to go on a blind date with the son of the boss of that company?" β
Fang Yuan didn't expect him to hesitate for a long time. It was actually such a question, so he nodded: "Yes, didn't I tell you just now, if I don't agree." She will only continue to pester me. β
"But. Putting aside the matter that your mother arranged for you, just talk about the facts, and talk about the blind date itself, do you reject this matter? Or is it more casual? Dai Xu asked again.
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "I don't have too many ideas, the most resistant thing must be that my mother wants to use this blind date to help her consolidate her relationship with other people's partner companies." As for the person on the blind date, I don't even know him. I haven't seen it at all, and now I definitely can't say whether I'm disgusted or not, but I'm not a person who particularly believes in love at first sight, not to mention that my mother didn't say it before, the other party's requirements for girls' body and weight are quite high, so I don't have to think about it. β
Dai Xu's brows furrowed, he stretched out his hand to signal Fang Yuan to wait, he turned around and went back to the bedroom, and after a while, he heard a sound of Suo Suo, as if he was rummaging through something, Fang Yuan felt more and more curious in his heart, and wanted to stretch out his head to look into Dai Xu's house, but he was a little embarrassed, so he had to suppress his curiosity and wait silently.
After a few minutes, Dai Xu came out, holding a notebook in his hand, he finally chose to sit down this time, sat opposite Fang Yuan, holding the crusty book in his hand, adjusted his sitting posture, and cleared his throat again, looking at the scheming appearance, Fang Yuan was curious, look at him, and then look at the crusty book in his hand.
"You asked me before, where did we meet before, do you have a clue now?" Dai Xu asked Fang Yuan as his fingers subconsciously rubbed the book in his hand.
Fang Yuan secretly glanced at the crust book a few more times, it looked ordinary, and there was no familiar feeling, it was definitely not her own, she should not have seen it, so she retracted her gaze, shook her head at Dai Xu, and said quite calmly: "I don't have a clue, I thought about it myself, I didn't think about it, but I felt very curious, so I secretly wanted He Ning to help me inquire, but it turned out that she had too many things recently, and she didn't care about it." β
Dai Xu smiled and shook his head: "If you ask her about it, I guess you can't find it, in fact, I estimate that you may not remember, I asked you to think slowly and recall slowly, and I didn't expect you to really remember, but at that time, I hadn't thought about what kind of opportunity I was looking for to re-mention this matter with you, so I planned to put it off." Now...... I think it's almost time to whet your appetite anymore. β
As he spoke, he spread out the crusty book in his hand and took out a plastic bookmark-like thing from it, but the thing that was sealed inside was not an ordinary picture, or insect specimens, flower specimens, etc., but a snow-white paper card, on which a band-aid was placed.
That band-aid looked very ordinary, and it was obviously used, the part of the hemostatic cotton in the middle was still clearly visible from the back, and the dark red blood stains that had already dried up were still clearly visible from the back, Fang Yuan turned over this somewhat special bookmark and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything special, let alone evoke any special memories of himself, and finally he could only look up at Dai Xu with an inquiring gaze, waiting for him to give him an answer.
"This band-aid was given to me by you, and you also helped me put it on with your own hands, and it's stuck here," Dai Xu stretched out his finger and pointed to the knee of his right leg, rolling up his trouser leg by the way, so that Fang Yuan could see a scar on his knee, "At that time, if I'm not mistaken, you should have been a freshman at that time." β
Fang Yuan looked at Dai Xu in surprise, looking at the Band-Aid, and then at the scar on Dai Xu's knee, she really didn't remember when she had seen Dai Xu, and had put a Band-Aid on him herself.
"Do you want to hear about the situation?" Dai Xu asked Fang Yuan with a smile, and by the way, he took back the Band-Aid that had been made into a bookmark from her hand and fiddled with it in his hand.
Fang Yuan nodded hurriedly. Her curiosity was now more intense than ever, and Dai Xu seemed to remember more than just the things she didn't remember. Moreover, the band-aid was made into a bookmark by him, and it was obviously very carefully collected, which made Fang Yuan feel even more itchy in his heart, eager to know what happened at that time, why he didn't remember it.
Dai Xu cleared his throat and said, "I was selected that year to participate in the peacekeeping mission. Well, it was the time when I met Zhong Han and them, and we were placed in your school at that time. The three-month training was supposed to be three months, but then there were a little bit of other schedules and other issues, so we actually spent more than four months in your school. I don't know if you're impressed. β
Fang Yuan recalled. When she was in her first year of college, it seemed that there was indeed a group of people who wore training uniforms every day, trained on the training ground, or went to the lecture hall to study theories.
"One day. One of our teams was doing the 400-meter steeplechase training, and the obstacle course was right next to your big sports field. There is a class of students above who are in a physical fitness class," Dai Xu said this, seemed a little embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, and laughed, "I have to defend myself, in fact, my 400-meter hurdle results have always been quite good, even Zhong Han's kid may not be able to beat me, what happened that day was purely accidental, because you can't remember, so I'll be verbose." That day we passed one after another, to my place, the front has been relatively smooth, when we arrived at the deep pit, there was a little fork, into the pit and then climbed up, the cement side of the masonry suddenly cracked, even with a brick below are lifted, that position is just my focus point, so the result can be imagined. β
Fang Yuan listened to Dai Xu talk about the scene at that time, and the more she listened, the more she felt as if she had a vague impression of it, but that memory was only vaguely evoked a little, and it was not real, so she didn't speak, but continued to listen quietly to Dai Xu as he told the matter.
Dai Xu didn't know that Fang Yuan had already begun to follow his own recollections, and continued to tell what happened at that time: "I grabbed the emptiness in my hand this time, and the whole person fell back again, but nothing else, at that time, I climbed the wall of the deep pit with one foot, and fell down like this, just my knee rubbed directly against the wall, and when I fell to the bottom of the pit, I also knocked it down, and when they pulled me up and sat down next to me, because of the previous emergency, the students who were in the physical fitness class on the training ground were also attracted to watch, To tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of your jokes, that time I fell a little badly, the wound bled a lot, there was a heavier knock, the mouth was a little deep, and when I rolled up my trouser leg to expose the wound, I was startled by many students watching the excitement next to me. β
Fang Yuan seemed to remember something when he heard him say this, her gaze moved from Dai Xu's face to the special band-aid bookmark, and the vague memory that had been sealed for a long time began to loosen faintly.
At this time, there was a little girl, squeezed from behind her classmates, holding a band-aid in her hand, the expression on her face was very serious, and she was not embarrassed to twist it at all, so she came directly over, tore the band-aid, and stuck it on the wound on my knee, and said to me, let me press the wound first, so as not to bleed too much, and then she called other people to hurry up and help call a car, and she ran away in a hurry, and came back after a while, with a few popsicles in her hands, wrapped them in towels, and stuffed them for me, Let me ice the wound first, it will help stop the bleeding. When Dai Xu said this, the smile on his face was very warm, recalling the experience of accidentally being injured in training, which seemed to make him feel very happy, "I remember very clearly, she was out of breath at that time, probably afraid that it would be too late, so I ran all the way to the small supermarket in the school, and when I came back, I was sweating profusely, and at this time the car also came, I was sent to the hospital by the same group of people, and when I arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that the hemostasis treatment was very timely, and I cleaned up the wound, and I was stitched in a deeper position." Unfortunately, it was a mess in the hospital, and the band-aid quilt was taken off by myself, so I left it, and I wanted to find the towel later, but unfortunately I didn't find it, and I don't know who threw it there, and it was said that there was blood on it, and it was melted popsicle water, which had been pasted together, so it was thrown away. β
Fang Yuan opened her mouth in some surprise, she finally had a little impression of this, but she just remembered that she did see someone on the other side of the obstacle course once fell and injured herself, at that time, many classmates were watching, but it turned out to be just a stupid onlooker, not even a person to help, seeing that the person's wound had shed a lot of blood, she was in a hurry, so she took out the Band-Aid that she would almost unanimously carry with her when she was in the police academy.
"I was actually quite stupid at the time, just thinking about the deeper wound bleeding a lot, it was best to suppress it, and my brain didn't turn at that time, so I put a band-aid on you, and then I felt that it was wrong, there were other abrasions next to your wound, how painful it was when I turned around and removed it!" Fang Yuan thought of this, and he didn't intend to pretend to be confused, "However, was there something different between you then and now?" I really don't remember what you looked like, but now that I vaguely recall it, I feel like there's a difference. β
"You really don't remember what I look like, because after three or four days of rest, when I was walking around the school on crutches, I met you, I smiled at you, you ignored me, and I forgot about me as a person." Dai Xu also smiled and said, "If you want to talk about the difference...... In addition to being a few years younger than now, oh, by the way, the requirements were stricter at that time, there could be no beard on the face, they had to be cleanly shaved, and they were all uniformly dressed, and they wore training uniforms and training hats every day, probably more than now...... A little bit of neatness? β
Fang Yuan was amused by Dai Xu's self-deprecation, and after laughing, she looked at the Band-Aid in Dai Xu's hand, and always felt that Dai Xu's words had not been finished, so she fell silent again, waiting for Dai Xu to continue.
Sure enough, after Dai Xu smiled, he continued: "Since then, I have remembered this little girl who gave me a band-aid, and then it was a coincidence, we met many times around the school, once she and her classmates trembled together to visit the school's specimen showroom, and scared, and couldn't help but want to see it, it was particularly interesting, once it was a debate tournament organized by first-year students, we slipped over to see the excitement after listening to the class next door, and just saw her on the stage, and fought for it. It looks quite imposing. There are many other such scenes, I won't repeat them one by one, in short, we ended the training, and went out to peacekeeping, and when we came back from the peacekeeping mission a year later, the police academy asked a few of our representatives to go over to give a report to the students, I found that I still remember the round-faced girl, a calculation, she should have been promoted to the third year of college at that time, I really found a chance to inquire secretly, but that time was too tight, and it was only enough to see it from a distance.
