Chapter 7: Walking Through the Coffee House
"Nothing." Jiang Xiao said shyly.
"Lie to me. I've been kept in the dark by you. The last time Duan Bin talked to me, he was talking about you. ”
"He found you? Say I don't have anything? ”
"It's not just about talking about you, I want me to tell you, focus on learning, don't think about it."
"Who thinks about it. It's not all for him. ”
"For whom?"
"He. Why do you think I'm working so hard, don't you just want to be by his side one day? ”
"He, is Duan Bin? Okay, when did you fall in love with someone. ”
"During that time, he didn't catch up with the political teacher, when he fell out of love."
No wonder there were a few times when I went to get a meal ticket, and Mr. Jiang said that he would go alone.
"Do you think you could?"
"Who knows. It's just that he's going to be transferred, and I'm panicking. ”
How can we, who don't know the future, grasp a tomorrow with no hope? Li Xiao thought to himself. Isn't she herself depressed? I didn't dare to think or do it, I didn't dare to miss it, I didn't dare to look forward to it, so I controlled my emotions deeply in my heart.
Many times, she wanted to run to No. 2 Middle School to find him, but she didn't dare, she was afraid, she was afraid that this trip would break the balance, and maybe in the end she wouldn't even be able to be a friend.
Jiang Xiao is too, she secretly hid her liking in her heart, and used the excuse to get close to Duan Bin with the meal ticket, but she never dared to say it.
"What are you going to do now?" Li Xiao asked Jiang Xiao.
"I wrote a letter to him." Jiang Xiao said a little lowly, "But he didn't reply." ”
"Maybe not." Li Xiao comforted.
"No way, I'll put it under his pillow." This bold Jiang Xiao.
"I guess it's not easy for him to reply. Promise you, you will be distracted, reject you, you will be low. Now that the college entrance examination is coming soon, no matter what he does, it will not be good for you. Li Xiao analyzed.
"So what should I do?" Jiang Xiao said in disappointment.
"Let it be. Don't you want to be by his side? If you don't get into college, how can you have a chance? It is imperative that your focus is on how to seize the time to study for admission to university and fulfill your wishes. Li Xiao comforted.
"Okay. Listen to you. Jiang Xiao then asked, "I heard that you are going back to Jinning for the exam?" ”
"It's not decided yet."
"Don't go, you're gone, I'll be alone, huh?" Jiang Xiaoxiao said cutely.
"Well, I'll think again." Li Xiao didn't fully agree. She's waiting. Wait for news from that person.
Since the contact was cut off after the college entrance examination, the two sides no longer have any interaction, and everything Li Xiao knew about him came from his father, and his father listened to his uncle. The news that she might go back to take the exam this time, presumably he should know. She hoped he would persuade her to stay.
The winter break was over quickly, and she still hadn't received a word from him. With some regret, she returned to Qingsong County No. 2 Middle School.
For Qingsong County No. 2 Middle School, she has not only special emotions, but also special events.
Just after New Year's Day, a bad news came: Sanmao committed suicide because he couldn't bear the pain. The news was only briefly played on the radio, and Li Xiao, who heard the news, was shocked in addition to shock. It took her a moment to understand that the wind-like woman was gone. The girl who had filled her entire high school career was gone forever. As a "Sanmao fan", Li Xiao instantly felt that his youth was buried.
Li Xiao's high school career was spent with Sanmao and Qiong Yao's books, hiding in a drawer and quietly reading their books. The Chinese teacher passed by her desk several times, opened one eye and closed one eye, looked at it and left, he felt that if the Chinese score was good, the composition was good, the form was not important, and the result was good. It was with the "connivance" of the Chinese teacher that she read all of Sanmao's works in high school.
The impression of Sanmao is always smiling, shrugging strongly, fighting with neighbors, mediating with Jose's boss, and dealing with all kinds of people in the Sahara Desert. It's not just a clash of words, it's a collision of wisdom, looking at those stupid Saharan desert people and the boss who is actually hiding treacherous tricks in front of the smart Sanmao, when the fight is speechless in front of the smart Sanmao, the love for Sanmao can be said to be increasing day by day. When I was in high school, my writing was influenced by Sanmao, and I also had a bit of the free wind of the Sahara Desert. The Chinese teacher once praised Li Xiao: good at describing the dialogue of characters. This is due to the influence of Sanmao.
It's a pity that since Jose left, Sanmao's health has deteriorated, and he has suffered from illness for a long time, and finally he can't bear it and chooses to end the pain.
During the winter vacation, she re-read Sanmao's book, and she couldn't let go of the woman who was as free as the wind and went with the wind. The little girl who was drawn on the face by the ❌ math teacher will never cry again. The girl who was admired by Bai Xianyong could no longer take out new works and hand them over to Mr. Bai.
There are no words, only sighs.
That's the end of the matter of going back to Jinning for the exam. As soon as the school started, I entered the intense revision stage.
The college entrance examination is approaching day by day. The school's series of actions reminded the candidates that time is running out.
First of all, the alumni who have been admitted to the university are invited to share their experience in the college entrance examination, and then they put up banners in each classroom: "There are only * days before the college entrance examination", "Work hard and win!" Wait a minute.
Every day, there is a tense atmosphere in the air, and the third-year students are trotting in and out of class, as if this is the only way to keep time from slipping through their fingertips.
One day at noon, a melodious song sounded, and the students' tase strings relaxed slightly.
"Every time I walk past this café, I can't help but slow down
The first acquaintance between you and me unveiled the prelude to mutual pleasure here
Today, you are no longer a guest, and I am lonely again
For some reason, the two of us went from being a couple to a stranger
The aromatic coffee wafts through the cottage and your emotions are still the same
I don't know when to continue the frontier, let me confide my thoughts to you
I walked past the café again and couldn't help but slow down
I won't see you and me in the house anymore, and the beautiful past is blurred
Every time I walked past this coffee house, I couldn't help but slow down
The first acquaintance between you and me unveiled the prelude to mutual pleasure here
Today, you are no longer a guest, and I am lonely again
For some reason, the two of us went from being a couple to a stranger
The aromatic coffee wafts through the cottage and your emotions are still the same
I don't know when to continue the frontier, let me confide my thoughts to you
I walked past the café again and couldn't help but slow down
I won't see you and me in the house anymore, and the beautiful past is blurred."
Follow the chant repeatedly, and the heart will be relaxed and happy. Li Xiao thought of the "he" who was far away in Jinning No. 2, and wondered if she missed "her" as she missed him. It's been a long time since I've heard from my uncle about him, and I wonder if he's all right.
