On the second day, when I woke up naturally, it was almost ten o'clock. They're all used to sleeping until this point. The church ends at 12 o'clock, and it takes about 40 minutes to walk from the school to the street across from the church. Duan Shaoling didn't want to eat breakfast either, he still had time, and he could lie lazily on the bed and wait for the time to approach.

Chen Zui had already gotten up to freshen up, and when he was done, he had to make his bed, because every day someone would come to check on their dormitory, and from Monday to Sunday, there was never a day of interruption from the first day they came.

、

"Where do you want to go with Cheng Jing today?" Duan Shaoling asked while looking at the book Leng Chuxian borrowed for him. Duan Shaoling could endure his temperament and liked to read, so he asked Leng Chuxian to help him borrow two philosophy books to read.

"I don't know yet." Chen Zui replied confusedly.

"I can guess that when I go out with Bao'er, Chu Xian must be embarrassed to hinder you anymore, so today will only be the two of you going out, cherish the time between the two of you."

Chen Zui jumped over this fork and asked him, "What about you?" You haven't made it clear to her about Zou Bao'er. So readily agreed to go to dinner with her, did you want to make it clear to her today? ”

"I'll look for opportunities."

"What are you thinking?" Chen Zui was suddenly stunned when he saw Duan Shaoling, it was definitely not seen by reading a book.

Duan Shaoling came back to his senses this time and saw that Chen Zui had already cleaned up the quilt on the bed.

"Don't tell me it's a philosophy in this book that keeps you hooked, I don't believe it. If you're not thinking about Zou Bao'er, are you thinking about a very loving and loving little girl? ”

Duan Shaoling knew that he was referring to Xue Qingning, and his heart was stunned, his face was still as calm as ever, and he said calmly: "It's time for you to go out on a date, and Cheng Jing should be about to come out of the dormitory." ”

After getting along for a long time, everyone's habits still know each other, such as Li Chengjing, who basically go out between 10:20 and 40. Chen Zui now go downstairs and wait, or go to the tea shop opposite the school gate to sit for a while, and you will definitely see them come out.

Chen Zui really didn't ask any more, said goodbye, and walked out first.

Duan Shaoling looked at the back of Chen Zui walking out, he did think of Xue Qingning for no reason when he thought of Zou Bao'er just now, probably because he knew that after lunch, Zou Bao'er would definitely take himself to Xue Qingning.

Since the first time she went to church, Zou Bao'er only verbally asked him if he would like to come again next time, in fact, she never invited him to go again, and she probably didn't know what happened to them outside the city last time, otherwise she wouldn't have said a word in front of him.

It was almost eleven o'clock before Duan Shaoling got up, and he quickly freshened up, made his bed, and went out in the direction of the church.

All the way down the street, he didn't meet any of the three of them. He was only now hungry, but thinking that lunch was only an hour away, he could just endure it.

When Duan Shaoling walked to the restaurant, it was still a little early, so he ordered three dishes first, because he was afraid that Zou Bao'er would come over and order the amount they couldn't eat at all. Even if he didn't eat for a day, he felt that he still had the strength to climb trees and pick fruits.

About twenty minutes later, Duan Shaoling saw Zou Bao'er walk in, and immediately waved at her. As soon as Zou Baoer sat down, Duan Shaoling beckoned the guys to serve the food.

"You're all ordered?" Zou Baoer asked.

"I ordered three things, enough to eat, otherwise I ordered too much and wasted it."

Zou Baoer remembered that she ordered four dishes last time, and in the end they couldn't finish them. said: "Doesn't it mean that your family is also a big family in your country? I can't imagine that you can still be so frugal, it's really different from others. Let's just say my brother, as long as he thinks it's good, whether he can finish it or not, he has to order it and give it a try. ”

Duan Shaoling laughed: "Our people in the countryside, no matter how rich they are, don't say that they can't compare with your family, even if they are a little more average in Guicheng." ”

"But I don't think any richer boy brother can compare with you."

Duan Shaoling could hear the deep affection for herself in her words again, and she was even more determined to make her clear, while they hadn't experienced anything between them, she could also find a boy who really liked her.

"Do you want to take me to the back of the church to accompany those children after eating?" Duan Shaoling asked directly.

Zou Bao'er was overjoyed, "I was about to ask if you would like to go with me, but I didn't expect you to say it yourself." ”

Duan Shaoling smiled: "How can you not want to? We didn't say we'd go together next time we had time. ”

Even though there are only three dishes, there are still some leftovers in the end. Zou Baoer wanted to pay, but she didn't expect Duan Shaoling to settle the account in advance. "Oh, didn't you say I'm in for a treat? Why did you even pay for it? ”

"Let's go." Duan Shaoling said with a smile, indicating that such a trivial matter does not need to be so clear.

When they got there, they caught up with Xue Qingning teaching the children to sing, Xue Qingning sang a sentence, the children followed a sentence, and sang the song of their church, Duan Shaoling did not have this level of appreciation, but saw that they were all singing very happily.

Seeing them coming, Xue Qingning's singing did not stop, but it couldn't stop the children from rushing towards them enthusiastically, "Sister Bao'er, you are here, and Brother Shaoling is also here." ”

Zou Bao'er said softly: "You see that these children have only seen you once, and they are so impressed by you and like you so much." "She really didn't know about their meeting outside the city.

"Sister Qingning, is she teaching you to sing a new song? How's your singing? As he spoke, he walked back to Xue Qingning's side with them.

"This afternoon I was teaching them to sing a new hymn."

"Really? Then I'll just sit down and listen. ”

Duan Shaoling was also standing next to them, and Zou Bao'er knew that he was not interested in poetry, so he said euphemistically: "Shaoling, I still want to trouble you to go to the tree to pick some fruit, and then go to the pool at the back door of the church to wash it." ”

Duan Shaoling smiled and nodded, "Children, Brother Shaoling is going to help you pick fruits again, you are obediently here and waiting for me to come back." Rather than staying here and listening to poems that he couldn't understand, Duan Shaoling still preferred to go to the tree to sell a coolie that was not hard for him.

After singing it two or three times, the poems sung by the children were naturally much shorter and simpler than those of the adults, and they were easier to learn. The children are okay, Xue Qingning has to learn it first, and then come to teach them, and he already feels that his mouth is dry, so he asked Zou Bao'er to take them, and he wants to drink a cup of hot water to moisten his throat first.

"Do you all know how to sing?"

"Yes." They replied in unison.

Zou Bao'er said again: "This is what you said yourself, Brother Shaoling will come back with fruit in a while, and you can only eat it if you can sing." ”

"Yes, yes." It seems that these children are confident.

A child said, "Sister Bao'er, you didn't come when we went to fly a kite last time, and we also saw Brother Shaoling at that time, and there was another brother and two sisters. ”

Zou Bao'er only came here once every week or two, and the last time she went to the river, I heard Xue Qingning say in advance that she would drive a car to the church. She saw that the car at the church was a bit crowded, and she didn't come every week, so she didn't go that time. They ran into the four of them, and she only found out now.

"Oh, so, did you play with those brothers and sisters?"

"We didn't go, it was Sister Qingning who talked to them."

A little boy added: "And my kite was hung on the tree, and Brother Shaoling helped me take it down." ”

"I also saw Sister Qingning grabbing Brother Shaoling's hand, her head was very close, and she grabbed it for a while before letting go."

Maybe the child's words are all wrong, Zou Baoer listened to it, and suddenly felt a tightness in her heart, and an inexplicable oppressive emotion came up.

"Sister Bao'er, is Brother Shaoling your boyfriend or Sister Qingning's boyfriend?" The child next to him continued to ask. The feeling of oppression became more and more obvious, with a hint of trance and fear.

The children's words were still chattering in their ears, Zou Baoer had to suppress all her emotions, even if she was facing the children, she had to show that her face did not change, "Don't talk nonsense, the three of us are good friends." ”

At this time, she saw Duan Shaoling and Xue Qingning just walking over from the back door together. Both of them were smiling, and she could usually see their smiles, but at this moment, their laughter made her have infinite reverie and uneasy emotions.

They got closer and closer, and in front of them, she couldn't show the slightest abnormality, and took the fruit with a smile, "Children, didn't you say you could sing?" Whoever sings it first, we say yes, only those who can sing will have fruit to eat. ”

"I'll come first, I'll come first." Now they became scrambling again, so they simply came together, sang together, and each received the fruit, and then they realized that they were thirsty, and devoured it.

After resting for a while, I still played games with them until the time was up, and then I sent them to the door of the church and watched their parents pick them up. finally said hello to Xue Qingning, and they also left.

It's strange that usually Duan Shaoling is silent first, and Zou Bao'er will constantly lead him to talk about topics. Since saying goodbye to Xue Qingning and walking out all the way, Zou Baoer has not said a word. Duan Shaoling still only planned to send her to the door of the house, and had no plans to have dinner together.

The road is not long and will soon be separated. This is a rare opportunity for two people to be together, if you don't talk about it now, when will you have a chance? And the sooner this kind of thing is clarified, the better, before the two people are involved in love and hatred.

"Bao'er, what I have always seen in you is a brilliant innocence like a child, which is also something that other girls don't have." Since Zou Bao'er didn't speak, then Duan Shaoling took the initiative once.

"Hmm." Zou Baoer's response was an indifference that Duan Shaoling had never seen and was not used to.

Duan Shaoling continued: "In my heart, I have always regarded you as a naughty and lovely sister. So I hope that this brother-sister friendship will last forever. ”

Stopping, Zou Bao'er stopped and looked at him directly, cold, lost, and angry.

Duan Shaoling only said two sentences, and her thoughts flashed, there didn't seem to be anything inappropriate in her two sentences, why did she have such a desperate gaze.

"Bao'er, what's wrong with you? Am I saying something wrong? ”

"Say, why don't you continue?" Her tone was as cold and poignant as her gaze, and Duan Shaoling stood on the spot inexplicably, and became speechless for a while.

"If you don't say it, then I'll say it for you, you want to say that you are actually the same to me as the children in the church, so I shouldn't pour so much effort into you, let alone cause you so much trouble."

Duan Shaoling couldn't imagine that her emotions would be so excited, and immediately explained: "Bao'er, I didn't mean that, I know that you are good to me, but you should also understand that the matter of feelings is fate, I just don't want to delay you." ”

"Then you're just telling me this now, who do you love now?"

Duan Shaoling continued to explain: "It's not this problem, I've always wanted to say it, but I hesitated, and I couldn't find the right time, I think it's unfair to you to delay any longer, so I chose to come out today and be honest with you." ”

Zou Bao'er immediately turned around and ran away, Duan Shaoling wanted to chase out, she ran back in the direction of the church, by the way, she must have gone to Xue Qingning to talk, he felt that if there was someone who could enlighten her, then this person must be Xue Qingning, and it was not good to chase her by herself.

It's just that at the moment when Zou Bao'er turned around, Duan Shaoling vaguely saw a crystal bead slipping from her eye socket, and while he was relaxed to say what was in his heart, he also felt guilty that he had hurt an innocent girl who loved him deeply.

Reason told him that he was right to do this, and that it was better to have a long pain than a short pain than to keep her going in a one-man show, and to make it clear that it should be connected soon......
