Chapter 19: There is still a long way to go

The Christmas gift that was originally intended to be given to Chen Xun was finally not delivered, Ning Chaoxi threw the gift bag into the closet after returning home, she lay on the table in frustration, not knowing what happened to her recently, as if she had been abnormally since she saw Chen Xun being confessed by a girl that day.

She knew that her sneering words had annoyed Chen Xun today, but she obviously didn't think like that, she just didn't know how to blurt out the words and changed.

In the next few days, Ning Chaoxi was afraid that it would be embarrassing to meet him, so he made an excuse and said that he was going to study at school and let him go back first, but Chen Xun didn't say anything.

After New Year's Day, she entered the review stage, Ning Chaoxi still went to cram school every weekend, but she didn't ask Chen Xun for questions she didn't understand, and she copied the answering process back to study by herself if she didn't know the question.

Today's New Year is early, the holiday is also early, the final exam is at the end of the month, and the transcript will be on vacation after the exam, the winter vacation of the second year of high school is longer, there are more than 20 days of vacation, Feng Lulu and Jiang Ke want to go back to the dormitory to pack up their things, Ning Chaoxi said goodbye to them in front of the dormitory building, and walked to the school gate alone.

It's just that she didn't expect to meet Chen Xun at the school gate, he waited there every day after school in the past, the twilight smeared on his body, and the back seemed to contain a layer of light, which made people unable to take their eyes off, Ning Chaoxi didn't know why he was there, but she intuitively felt that Chen Xun was waiting for her.

It seems that she hasn't seen him for a long time, but now she suddenly met her, Ning Chaoxi was a little indescribably weak-hearted, because she deliberately snubbed him some time ago, she stayed in place for a few seconds, and walked up hard.

"Hi, Chen Xun." Ning Chaoxi walked over to greet him, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Xun looked down at her, a glimmer of light flashed in his dark eyes, and he asked, "School?" ”

"yes." Ning Chaoxi put his hands behind his back, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and he was silent for a long time before asking, "Are you waiting for me?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Xun responded to her softly, he took a step forward, and asked her, "How did you do in the exam?" ”

Ning Chaoxi followed him: "It's okay, it's just that the math test is bad again." ”

"I didn't do well either." Chen Xun said.

"Language?"

Chen Xun nodded.

Ning Chaoxi stared at the tip of his shoe, and let out a faint 'oh': "Didn't I read the information I sorted out for you before?" ”

"Looked."

"Is it still a serious deduction for reading questions?" Ning Chaoxi looked at him and nodded, raised his eyes and said to him, "Then I'll go back and sort out a copy of the previous answer questions for you." ”

"Okay."

"Chen Xun." Ning Chaoxi looked at the black shadow dragged by the street lamp at his feet, and suddenly called out to him: "I'm sorry that day, I didn't mean to say that, I won't say anything like that again, don't be angry." ”

Her tone was a little humble, and there was a little flattery, Chen Xun felt very uncomfortable when he heard it, he said: "It's not you, it's me who should apologize." ”

Ning Chaoxi didn't expect him to say this, she was stunned, but she was relieved, she raised her lips and smiled: "No need to apologize, we will turn the page on this matter, okay, don't mention it again in the future, we are still good friends." ”

Chen Xun's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the words 'good friend', and he laughed softly: "Okay." ”

Ning Chaoxi heard him laugh, the boredom that had been blocked in his heart for a long time suddenly dissipated, and many words pressed in his heart also found an outlet: "Chen Xun, you don't know how I came here some time ago, I go to cram school every week, the math problems made by the teacher are more difficult than the other, some of the questions are simply too perverted, I have to study for a long time every time I go back, you know it......"

She was complaining hard along the way, Chen Xun smiled and occasionally responded with a sentence or two, most of the time Ning Chaoxi was talking, and Chen Xun was listening.

Usually the journey home is too slow to walk alone, and the company of multiple people feels too short, Ning Chaoxi has been holding back all the words for a while, only to find that she has walked to the door of the community, she smiled embarrassedly: "What, Chen Xun, you know, I usually don't talk so much, but I am a little ......ruthless these days."

Chen Xun smiled and didn't debunk her: "I know." ”

Ning Chaoxi pointed to the door of the community: "Then I'll go in first, be careful on your way home." ”

"Okay."

"Chen Xun, have a happy holiday." Ning Chaoxi's eyes bent into a crescent moon, squinted and joked, "Don't think too much about me." ”

Chen Xun hooked his lips and laughed in a low voice: "Well, you too." ”

Ning Chaoxi took a few steps towards the entrance of the community, paused again, and looked back, she originally thought that Chen Xun was gone, but she turned around and saw that he was still in place, a pair of clear and clean eyes were looking at herself fixedly under the cover of night.

A smile spread on the corner of Ning Chaoxi's mouth, and he waved his hand at him: "Chen Xun, go back quickly." ”

Hearing this, he moved his steps, Ning Chaoxi saw him leave, and then turned around and walked into the community, and Chen Xun paused after she turned around, he watched the pretty figure gradually disappear from sight, then retracted his gaze and continued to walk in the direction of home.

The New Year's Festival is always lively, on Chinese New Year's Eve, there are many guests at home, in addition to relatives, there are also colleagues of Ning's parent company, everyone only stayed for a while to greet each other and left, only Ning Chaoxi's cousin family stayed for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Ning Chaoxi has a cousin who has just graduated from college and just came out to work, named Shen Xi, the two sisters usually have a very good relationship, and they often visited various houses when they were young, and they had a good time, but since Ning Chaoxi went to high school, he was busy with his studies, and Shen Xi was studying in college in other provinces, except for the New Year's holidays, the two rarely got together at other times.

After dinner, the adults sat in the living room to chat and watch the Spring Festival Gala, only the two of them were nested aside, listening to the adults chattering about their studies and work, and they had to be educated every year, Shen Xi was too lazy to deal with such a scene, she picked up her mobile phone and pretended to have a phone to come in, and slipped to the balcony to chat and talk to her boyfriend, and only Ning Chaoxi was left in the living room who was bombarded by several adults in turn.

What academic performance, college entrance examination, filling in volunteers, what university to go to, filling in what major, all of them have been taken out and said.

Ning Chaoxi could only smirk and respond 'yes yes' the whole time, but later she couldn't hold it anymore, so Ning Chaoxi excused herself to go to the bathroom and slip away, she took a detour from the room to the balcony, and saw Shen Xi holding her mobile phone against the railing with a sweet smile.

Ning Chaoxi heard her coquettish words to the other end of the phone from time to time: "Dear, you don't think I'm ......" I don't know what the other party replied, she said: "Well, I miss you too." ”

Ning Chaoxi listened to the goosebumps that trembled, she walked to the hanging chair placed on the balcony and sat down, her hands supported the chair surface and gently swayed, looking up at the dark sky outside, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, there are many people setting off fireworks, their family belongs to a high-rise residential area, the field of vision is very broad, you can see a bunch of brilliant fireworks rising in the distance.

Suddenly distracted, I don't know what Chen Xun is doing now, whether he is also with his family, and whether he can see the same night and scene as her when he looks up.

The mobile phone she put next to her kept ringing, Feng Lulu and Jiang Ke sent her New Year's wishes respectively, several classmates in the class sent her happy Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Chengfeng also sent her a blessing text message, she replied one by one, and suddenly the mobile phone shook, showing a new message.

It was sent by Chen Xun, and there were only four simple words on the screen: "Happy Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

This is his usual style, concise and to the point, Ning Chaoxi had a smile in his eyes, and replied to him: "Have fun together, I thought you would wait until 0:00 to send me a happy New Year directly." She made fun of him in disguise in the latter sentence for sending her blessings so late.

His text message was quick to come back: "Sorry, a little busy today. ”

Ning Chaoxi looked at the words on the screen, and immediately thought of his serious appearance when he typed down this line of words, she suddenly felt that Chen Xun was a little silly and cute in some aspects, can't she see that she was joking, she replied with a smile: "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously." ”

"Who's texting and laughing like this." Shen Xi didn't know when he came to her after making the call, and bent down to look down at her screen, "Chen Xun? Who is Chen Xun? ”

Ning Chaoxi immediately put away his mobile phone as if he had seen a ghost: "Sister, how can you peek at people sending text messages, you are so lacking in morality." ”

Shen Xi snorted lightly: "Hmph, I also said that you eavesdropped on my phone call, and I didn't see anything, just a name, are you excited like this?" As he spoke, he looked at her again. Blinked his eyes ambiguously: "Got a boyfriend, huh?" ”

"Not really!" Ning Chaoxi immediately said.

"Huh?" Shen Xi raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "Don't hide anything from me, tell my sister, I promise not to tell my aunt and uncle." ”

Ning Chaoxi pushed her, her cheeks flushed: "No, it's just an ordinary friend." ”

Shen Xi: "Can ordinary friends laugh at such virtues?" Lie to a three-year-old child, what kind of friendship do we have, don't be quick to confess and resist strictly! ”

"Sister, I really don't." Ning Chaoxi said helplessly.

"Oh? That's when you play crush? "Shen Xi. came to the ground and asked her: "This Chen Xun, is in the same class as you?" Is it handsome or not? Are there any photos? ”

"Sister, don't talk nonsense!" Afraid that her voice would be heard by the adults in the living room if she spoke too loudly, Ning Chaoxi hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Hey, hey, what do you want to do Ning Chaoxi? I was exposed to wanting to murder my sister. ”

Ning Chaoxi put his index finger against his lips and 'shhhed' at her: "Sister, you be quiet." ”

Shen Xi Nunu mouthed, looked at her nervous appearance, snorted angrily, and laughed again.

After a while, Shen Xi thought about it, lowered his voice and said to her: "Day and night, listen to my sister's advice, what about this high school student, it's okay to play without affecting your studies, you must not take it seriously, the most important thing is that you don't put yourself in it, you still have a long way to go." ”

Many years later, Shen Xi recalled what she said to her back then, and she really wanted to pat her mouth, her own words became a prophecy, Ning Chaoxi talked about love, not only put people in, but even put her heart into it.

When people are gone, their hearts are lost with them.
