Chapter 137: If Life Is Only as First Seen
"Xu Ting and my brother have the same smell, and we often hang out together, and then we slowly get acquainted with each other. His appearance at that time, well, although not much different from now, but there is a little less masculinity, there is still a bit of delicacy between his eyebrows, plus he is a newcomer, and he is a high-achieving student who graduated from the command academy, even if my brother has the heart to protect him, it is difficult to gain a firm foothold in the garrison army. You may not imagine how hard that kind of person can be ...... to yourself."
Ning Xi stood on a big bluestone by the lake, surrounded by a weeping willow swaying in the wind, and the wind blew gently on the surface of the lake, with a clear and biting coldness.
"I often see him either with duct tape on the corner of his eyebrows, or a dislocated arm, or a strained ankle, walking bumpy, like a black and white emperor penguin, I can't tell what it feels like, anyway, sometimes I help him change his medicine, and even point to his head and reprimand him to be careful. At that time, he was already famous in the army, but he always smiled shyly in front of me, just like when I first met him......"
Ning Xi suddenly stopped, turned to look at Wen Liang, and said, "Wouldn't it be boring to listen to this?" â
Wen Liang shook his head, he used to envy those who had stories, no matter who they were, it was a great blessing to be able to like someone madly when they were young, or to be madly liked by others.
Ning Xi stared at him, a cheerful smile gradually appeared on his face, beckoned him to come to his side, and then took his hand, sat on the bluestone slab together, picked up a stone from the ground, raised his hand, and smashed it into the lake far away. "Although I was only 15 years old at that time, I had already completed seven major domestic university courses and was looking for a direction that I was interested in and was ready to study abroad. No one in the family treats me as a child, my brother has been scared of me since he was a child, and he doesn't even dare to say anything in front of me, not to mention my uncle's brothers and sisters. On the contrary, there is only Xu Ting, he is knowledgeable, smart, and resolute, well, naturally there is another important reason, he is not so annoying......"
Wen Liang interjected with a smile: "It's okay if I don't save zĂ i, if such a person is still not annoying, what should I do like this?"
Ning Xi also smiled, she knew that Wen Liang would not care about this, and continued: "In this way, we have become friends. He would come to my house sometimes, and I would go to the barracks to look for him, and after a long time, my brother, including the rest of the family, began to become a little weird, and would pretend to be casual and tell me something......"
She laughed at herself and said, "It wasn't until later that I understood what my family was worried about, to be honest, at that time, when Xu Ting was a good friend, I didn't have any other thoughts at all." After that, Xu Ting came to me less and less, but I still remembered and ran to him, sometimes he smiled brightly, sometimes he would look at me blankly, and he didn't say a word for a long time. He avoided it, he was distressed, and maybe he struggled, but in the end he chose to sit silently on the side, listen to me, and play with me...... Unfortunately, although I didn't think I was a great genius at that time, I often despised most of the people around me, in fact, I was actually a little girl who didn't know anything......"
A year passed quickly, and Xu Ting only stayed in the garrison for a year before he was transferred back to the Guanshan Military Region. Oh, it's funny to say, in order to hide that this transfer is not aimed at anyone alone, even my brother was transferred together. Hearing the news, I didn't speak for a whole day, as if something important was about to be lost, and it was at that time that I realized that I had a little attachment to this brother who laughed silly. So when he came to say goodbye that day, I pointed to his belly and said that if I didn't have a beer belly in ten years, I would marry him. He laughed, and then, for the first time, like an older brother, rubbed my hair insolently, and turned around and left without saying a word. â
"With Wharton's invitation coming, I finally understood what was going on, and that there was no point in rebelling against Kenburn when I grew up in such a family. Before going abroad, I asked Ning Que of the second uncle's family to take care of Xu Ting, she worked in the military region, and her relationship with me was not bad...... Later, when I was abroad, I heard the news that they were going to get married......",
Wen Liang sighed, this is nothing more than a little girl with low emotional intelligence who was strangled by the world and reason at an age when she didn't know how to love, and a first love that didn't have time to grow up.
"Do you love him?"
Ning Xi was silent for a moment, a little dazed in his tone, and said, "I can't say I love it, I can't say I like it, that feeling is very strange and subtle." He is not the best man I have ever met, nor is he the most attractive, but when I know that he is going to marry Ning Yan, my heart does hurt a little...... No, it's not a pain, it's an indescribable acid, as if you bite into an unripe orange, and the pale yellow juice is sour, and you squint your eyes and shed tears......"
"What about today, how do you feel when you first see each other after many years?"
Ning Xi didn't answer his question, he playfully touched his shoulder, and said, "You say, when he sees you staying in my car so late today, will he want to be crooked?" â
Wen Yu smiled bitterly: "You want to take revenge on your old lover with me, but you have the wrong idea, I don't think he will think I am a threat...... Of course, this is not arrogant, my brother's inner show, only a person with a high IQ like you can find out, Xu Ting, you are not qualified enough"
Ning Xi clasped his hands on his knees, his body curled up tightly, his chin rested on his knees, and smiled slightly: "This is exactly the answer I gave you, seeing him today, I seem to have unloaded a heavy courage, and my heart is extremely relaxed and indifferent, just like in a book, close like a friend, but also estranged like a friend." He is not old, but the little girl has grown up."
Ning Xi didn't speak again, just looked at the dark lake from afar, and said in a low voice after a while: "I'm a little tired, Wen Yuan, borrow your shoulder and use it, okay?" â
Wen Liang reached over and grabbed her waist, Ning Xi's body trembled slightly, but he leaned obediently on his shoulder.
The night is long, the wind is unintentional, and people are affectionate
A pale green jeep was parked at the corner of the street and alley in the distance, and the sharp-faced man looked at Xu Ting's face and said in a low voice: "Team Xu, or, huh?" â
He made a secret move, and the black-faced man was silent, but judging by his expression, Xu Ting would carry out any orders without hesitation.
Xu Ting looked at the figures snuggled together by the lake, with a thick sadness in his eyes, he didn't agree with the sharp-faced mention, but he didn't refuse, started the car, and quietly disappeared into the dark night.
A shallow white of fish belly was revealed in the sky, Ning Xi slowly opened his eyes, and found himself curled into the shape of a baby lying in Wen Xiang's arms, his coat was draped, and his whole body was warm without a trace of chill. Wen Liang is still sitting upright on the stone slab, his black eyes are looking straight ahead, his nose is very straight, his eyebrows are not thick, his eyelashes are long, and with the soft side face line, he shows a bit of restrained beauty.
Ning Xi moved slightly, and Wen Liang immediately noticed it, and when he lowered his head, he had a smile on his face, as if the wind was blowing the gentleness of a willow branch.
"Awake?"
Ning Xi sat up from his arms, but he didn't move away immediately, still leaning together, and asked, "You hugged me all night like this?" â
"It's not one night, three or four hours. Don't forget, it's almost 2 a.m. when we come over... ......"
Ning Xi suddenly grabbed Wen Yu's chin and said viciously: "Say, did you do anything to me?" â
Wen Liang replied honestly: "Yes"
"Really? How does it feel? Ning Xi asked with a grin, she didn't believe that Wen Yu would take advantage of others. For some reason, after those events last night, Ning Xi's confidence in Wen Yu was even stronger than his own.
Wen Liang pointed to her hand, then to her foot, and said with a smile: "Put your hand in front of you and curl up your foot again, so that you can sleep comfortably...... Does this count as a hand or foot? â
"Count, of course count"
Ning Xi jumped out of his arms, stretched his waist against the fresh lake breeze, and swayed gracefully, showing infinite style.
"Seriously, boy, you didn't take off my sunglasses, did you?"
Wen Yu said angrily: "My curiosity is smaller than your squints, so much nonsense, don't pull me up, and sit down like this, my brother may not be able to lift it for the rest of his life......"
After sitting on the stone slab for a long time, the cool air enters the body, maybe it will really affect the reproductive system, Ning Xi is erudite and talented, how can he not understand this? Combined with the fact that he didn't feel anything unusual in him just now, didn't the young man know that morning or something, and couldn't help but say cautiously: "Excuse me, you are young, there won't really be anything wrong with you, right?" â
Uncle Wen was furious and said, "I am tired and half dead to hug you, my legs have been pressed all night and I am numb, if I can still react, it is not a person, it is Ultraman",
Ning Xi smiled and lost it, but intentionally or unintentionally aimed under Wen Liang, and deliberately pouted his lips to make a disdainful appearance, if it weren't for the fact that his legs were really numb, Wen Liang wanted to pounce on it and let this Nizi sing on the spot After conquering and getting up, Wen Xi's heart moved at will, read the fist, stretched his muscles and bones by the lake, a few specious movements, but there was an indescribable charm, Ning Xi asked curiously, and was choked back by Wen Liang's sentence "Will I sue you if I come to the gods", kicked a small pebble in anger, and got into the car.
During this period of time, the two people went from strangers to first acquaintances, from temptation to cooperation, from confrontation to disputes, and each other used a little bit of scheming, although they finally finalized the intention of cooperation, but the defense and vigilance were not reduced because of this. It wasn't until last night that those layers of masks were torn off one by one by chance, and the relationship became intimate.
"Where to go now? I haven't turned around Qingzhou yet, why don't you take me to play, how about it? â
Ning Xi looked at Wen Liang with a little expectation, Wen Liang knows the three secrets of serving investors, eat well at the banquet, accompany him in the private room, and play well in the scenic area, but the reality is always cruel, and he said helplessly: "Grandma, the two-day vacation is over, I have to go to school today......"
Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, only to remember that this guy who always likes to call himself an elder brother is actually a big fart high school student, and a deep sense of frustration suddenly rose in his heart, the elite of the dignified Wharton School School has been reduced to the point of messing with a high school student, and what is even stricter is that he seems to enjoy this feeling of being a mess more and more
"Okay, but you have to have breakfast when you go to school, I'm not familiar with Qingzhou, you can find a land."
Wen Liang found out that he came to Yingcui Lake unintentionally last night at dawn, since he was in a hurry, it was better to go and see Jiang Zhilan, and said: "Let's go, turn left in front, there are food stalls in the Workers' Body, and it will be hearty early."
"I've never seen such a stingy person as you, I went to the snack street last night, and today I went to the big partner, and I'm addicted to eating food stalls," Ning Xi retorted, but the gluttonous worm in her stomach aroused her nostalgia for the food on Dehua Street, and hurriedly turned the steering wheel and drove to the side of the workers.
Wen Liang observed the words, but he didn't know what her idea was, coughed lightly, and said: "This is just an ordinary stall, the people's home-cooked meal, don't expect too much." Actually, I'm mainly stopping by to see friends, if it doesn't suit you, we can go back to Qinghe for a big dinner."
Ning Xi smiled: "You still need to know me deeply, I have enjoyed happiness and hardship, and I am not so squeamish."
It's not "get into bed and play with waves", what do you have to be proud of
bah
The workers' body is still the same as when it came over, but the overall environment seems to be much cleaner and tidy.
Although it was only five or six o'clock in the morning, the people who were busy eating in the world had already started their day's work, and the wide workers' stadium was very lively, dozens of stalls were all overcrowded, and the sounds of selling, quarrelling, and laughter spread from the dense crowd, full of vitality and vitality.
Holding Ning Xi's hand and squeezing through the crowd, it was strange to say, now Wen Liang is pulling if he wants to, and letting him go, Ning Xi has no reaction at all. That's why the power of habit is terrifying, and I'm afraid to adapt to everything
Coming to Jiang Zhilan's stall, Wen Liang saw a beautiful figure shuttling back and forth in the crowd at a glance, and that beautiful face was filled with a sincere smile, which was many times better than the desolation and despair of that night
Isn't it because of such a smile in life that countless people who are struggling on the edge have the courage and motivation to continue living?
"Sister-in-law, is business okay?"
Jiang Zhilan was holding a bowl of spicy soup, and was about to deliver it to the guests, when she suddenly heard the sound that lingered in her ears day and night behind her, her hand trembled violently, and the bowl almost fell to the ground. A large, clean, slender hand reached out from the side and firmly grasped the other side of the bowl.
"Be careful, sister-in-law, I'm here to take care of your business, not to smash the field."
Jiang Zhilan turned her head, and her gentle smile was as bright as that day, gentle and unforgettable
(Thank you to the students who have been, are or will continue to support Maruko, I am really grateful)
