"You actually think I can't pass the test, do you?"

"I didn't!"

"You actually think that I should probably listen to them, and I shouldn't be so stubborn, right?"

"I've been, no matter what decision you make, I will support you, you just have to do it."

"White leaves, you...... Don't be so reluctant ......"

"Xiaodi! Why all of a sudden, such inexplicable words?! You know I've never thought of it that way! ”

“……”

Chen Xiaodi was lying on the bed, facing the wall, where there were many dolls and pillows, each with a bright smile. Bai Ye sat on the edge of the bed and kept comforting Chen Xiaodi, but she just waited quietly and didn't say a word.

"Let's go to dinner, I'll go out for a walk with you in the afternoon."

"You go eat, I don't want to eat."

"No matter how bad the mood is, you can't skip eating, don't get along with your body."

"For so many years, he didn't yell at me only when I was hospitalized."

Chen Xiaodi gently hugged the pillow that Ye Li gave her, and slowly closed her eyes. Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded to do anything, Bai Ye didn't do anything more, got up and left her room.

"How's it going?"

Seeing Bai Ye coming back, Bai Mu hurriedly asked, but saw that Bai Ye shook her head slightly, nothing, and continued to bury her head in eating. Several people didn't say anything more, and the meal that should have been a happy meal was extremely depressing. After lunch, Bai's mother came to Chen Xiaodi's room with a bowl full of fish fillets and fish soup, and saw her lying quietly on the bed, fiddling with the doll in hand.

"Xiaodi, be good, get up and eat these fish, don't you like to eat the fish made by your aunt the most?"

"I don't want to eat it."

"Obedient, you still have to take medicine for a while, how can you school if you don't eat enough"

Chen Xiaodi sat up, still holding the doll in her hand, staring blankly at the fish soup in Mother Bai's hand, and slowly raised her hand to catch it for a long time. Mother Bai breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned to Bai Ye, who was leaning against the door.

"Ye, you accompany Xiaodi, I'll help your aunt clean up the table, make sure she finishes eating, and don't leave anything left."

"Hmm."

Bai Ye watched Chen Xiaodi pick up the spoon, eat the fish fillets in the bowl little by little, and let the doll in the crook of his arm fall to the ground, rolling far away.

The afternoon sky was gloomy, Bai Ye accompanied Chen Xiaodi to take the bus, and once again came to the noisy ancient town, the two walked aimlessly along the bluestone road, as lonely as the quiet corner of the ancient town.

This ancient town is very beautiful, it looks a bit like the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the tallest building with gray tiles and white walls is only three floors, and many shops have narrow waterways in front of them, and the crystal clear water flows rapidly, converging into a river that winds through the center of the entire ancient town.

In fact, the river channel is also artificially constructed, with many branches, which converge from all over the ancient town, and finally form a small circular lake by the bonfire square, and the tall tower by the lake is reflected in the water, simple and with some classical atmosphere.

The tall lampposts on both sides of the main street are painted red, echoing the gate of the ancient town, with strong ethnic characteristics, but can be perfectly integrated with the quaint buildings, and it looks unobtrusive.

After walking for a while, it rained in the air, Chen Xiaodi raised her face and let the thin rain fall on her face. It didn't take long for the rain to get heavier, and Bai Ye hurriedly stood beside Chen Xiaodi, stretched out the umbrella and lifted it above her head.

"Let's find a place to sit for a while, and then we'll go when the rain gets a little bit."

"Hmm."

Chen Xiaodi nodded, Bai Ye gently held her hand, and led her to a shop in the depths of the ancient town. It was a shop selling local specialties, right on the side of the river in the city, with three wooden tables along the guardrail, and they could enjoy the scenery of the ancient town while eating, and every time they came to the ancient town, they would come here to eat something before leaving.

Bai Ye ordered a few things that Chen Xiaodi likes to eat, and saw that she looked at the water in a daze and didn't disturb her, the cool rain blew through, Chen Xiaodi only wore a short-sleeved T-shirt, Bai Ye gently draped the coat on her shoulders, and it was the first time he saw her so depressed, like a down-and-out bird, which made people feel distressed.

"I'm really bad, right? The high school entrance examination, the college entrance examination, and now the graduate school entrance examination are also, and I have never been admitted to the school I want to go to. I always don't do a lot of things well, and I feel full of confidence, but the results are always unsatisfactory. ”

"A lot of things are not clear in the first place, no one can predict what the result will be until the answer comes out, as long as you do your best, with a clear conscience, you don't underestimate yourself, and don't be too yourself, after all, this is not the only choice."

"But for me, and there's no better option."

"In that case, you just do what you think, don't care about other people, the more you think about some things, the more chaotic your mind becomes, and it's hard to calm down."

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the voices had to be raised to be heard clearly, and the dense raindrops fell heavily on the water, shattering the landscape paintings reflected on the clear water, leaving only countless ripples that had not had time to disperse and be splashed.

"What if I fail again this time? They wouldn't have agreed to me taking the test again, but I didn't want to do the same job as they did, because it wasn't really for me. ”

"Then you can also consider other things, such as those jobs related to the certificate you want to take, there are many ways to live, maybe when you reconsider, you will find that there are better than the ones you choose now."

As he spoke, the steaming potato balls were served, and Chen Xiaodi, who had been looking at the water, finally turned around, and his eyes stayed on the golden balls.

"Come on, eat it, you didn't just shout about eating this yesterday."

Bai Ye smiled softly, poked a ball with a bamboo skewer and handed it to Chen Xiaodi.

"Bai Ye, no matter how I choose in the future, you will always be behind me, right?"

"Hmm."

Bai Ye nodded, looking at Chen Xiaodi's gaze very firmly. Chen Xiaodi looked at him, looked down at the pill that was almost in front of her nose, and finally ate it in one bite.

The two children sat here for a long time, and when the rain finally came, it was past five o'clock in the afternoon, and they were almost full.

"Go home, I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while, and it may rain even more later."

Chen Xiaodi nodded, followed Bai Ye to the gate of the ancient town, and when he passed the viaduct of the railway, Bai Ye stopped, looked left and right, and then turned his head to look at Chen Xiaodi.

"Wait a minute."

After that, Bai Ye strode towards a stall on the side of the road, and soon came back with a large bag containing two bags of snow-white ginger candy.
