Chapter 7: A Confused Future
"By the way, what question were you going to ask me?"
Lin Xiaohan gulped down the pink strawberry-flavored marshmallow in her hand, and suddenly remembered the question Xu Ningxue had just asked her, and her curiosity was suddenly rekindled.
Xu Ningxue just drank a big sip of milk tea, but she didn't react at once, she turned her head sideways and looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Huh?" Did I just want to ask you something? ”
Lin Xiaohan sneered "hehe" and waved his fist in front of Xu Ningxue, "Did you really forget?" ”
Xu Ningxue was far away from Lin Xiaohan's position all of a sudden, and blocked the marshmallow in front of her, smiling with crooked eyebrows, and said innocently: "Okay, I suddenly remembered it again now." Then he waved the marshmallow at Lin Xiaohan, "Sit down a little, let's discuss a very serious issue." ”
Lin Xiaohan's curiosity was omnipresent, and he moved to Xu Ningxue's side, urging: "Come on, I like such a serious question the most." ”
Xu Ningxue lowered her eyes to stare at the pink marshmallow in her hand, her eyes were deep, complicated and confused, "Xiaohan, if you want to live in place of others, are you willing?" ”
"Of course not!" Lin Xiaohan replied with an awe-inspiring face, "Everyone is a unique existence, how can it be possible to replace others?" ”
Xu Ningxue's lips raised a touch of arc, a touch of bitterness, "Yes, how can you replace others." ”
"Ning Xue, how do you ask this question? It feels a little inexplicable. Lin Xiaohan found that Xu Ningxue was a little strange today, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
Xu Ningxue raised her head, her face returned to normal, and she was still smiling like stars and moons, "It's nothing, I watched a movie yesterday and felt a little emotional, in fact, I really have something to tell you today." ”
Seeing Xu Ningxue smiling, Lin Xiaohan didn't let go, she reached out and pushed Xu Ningxue's shoulder, her tone was full of worry: "You laughed so hard that my heart chilled, nothing happened, right?" ”
"I said, why are you so suspicious? You are not happy when I laugh, alas. Xu Ningxue glanced at Lin Xiaohan, supported her cheeks and sighed deeply.
Lin Xiaohan frowned, and spread his hands helplessly, "I know, I'm happy, very, very happy, can you tell me important things now?" ”
Xu Ningxue didn't hesitate this time, "Generally speaking, it's two things, first, I don't have to go to your small shop to help, and second, I'm going to go to another school." ”
"Huh?" Lin Xiaohan was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped, "Why do you want to go to another school?" ”
"My mom came to me and said it should be a good thing for me to go to the same school as my sister." Xu Ningxue raised the corners of her eyebrows slightly, and told Lin Xiaohan again the excuse she had made up in advance, the impostor was not trivial, and she didn't want the people around her to get into unnecessary trouble because of this.
Even if this is something she is reluctant to do at all, she is not a great person, but there are people who want to be guarded.
Lin Xiaohan lowered his head a little disappointed, and asked sullenly, "So, are you here to say goodbye to me today?" ”
"Hmm." Xu Ningxue replied in a low voice, "There may be few opportunities to meet in the future, but you are my best friend, and I will miss you." ”
Lin Xiaohan raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Ningxue, and after a long time, he squeezed out a smile, "I should be happy for you, I don't have to worry about the tuition fee, and I can go to a good school, although I can't go to school with you anymore." ”
The two of them, growing up together since childhood, studying together, occasionally have awkward quarrels, but unconsciously, they have become the most important people to each other, so when it comes to parting, sadness is inevitable.
Xu Ningxue opened her mouth, some words hidden in her heart, but she didn't say anything, if it was really like what Lin Xiaohan said, then she at least had a little bit of a happy feeling, but this was not the case, and she couldn't say anything.
Xu Ningxue patted Lin Xiaohan on the shoulder, pretending to smile easily: "It's not that we can't meet again in the future, what's so sad, I will go shopping with you when I have time in the future, please eat something delicious, how about it?" ”
Lin Xiaohan's eyes immediately flashed, "Really? You can't go back on it! "In order to be able to pit Xu Ningxue for a few meals in the future, what sadness or sadness is there now, it is not a problem, she Lin Xiaohan can afford to put it down, and she will not be defeated by a short parting.
Xu Ningxue was amused by Lin Xiaohan's suddenly changed face, "Then, where are we going to go shopping?" ”
"I want to think about it...... By the way, I know of a new flower shop, let's check it out. ”
"Really? How much to spend? Let's hurry up. ”
When it was near evening, Xu Ningxue pedaled her bicycle home, and after a day of shopping, she didn't buy anything else except to buy some vegetables to cook at home, and her grandmother heard from her father that Xu Ningxue was leaving home tomorrow to go to other schools, and she kept nagging.
Maybe Xu Mingfan's words played a role, and he didn't object to Xu Ningxue going to another school, but the nagging topics were inseparable from Du Qingyu, Xu Ningxue didn't say anything during this period, it seems that grandma's spirit is quite good, and when she is not at home in the future, everything will be fine.
At that time, as long as Dad's illness is cured, everything will be cured.
After eating, Xu Ningxue simply packed her luggage, there was not much luggage, just a few clothes she usually wore, and the rabbit doll. After cleaning up, she sat by the window and watched the sunset outside, supporting her cheeks with her hands in a daze, in her heart, she was confused by the unknown life, and no one knew the uneasiness in her heart.
Tomorrow, the sun will rise again, and she will live a completely different life from now, she was stunned for a while, then stood up and went to talk to Xu Mingfan, only her father's words are infinite motivation for her.
The next day, Xu Ningxue got up before the sky was completely bright, because she couldn't sleep well all night, and those strange dreams made her feel that the night was so long, but when she opened her eyes, she found that it was actually so short.
Xu Ningxue lightly made breakfast and washed her clothes, at this time, the sun had not yet come out, and outside, there was still some mist circling that had not dispersed.
She stood in front of Xu Mingfan's room with her luggage, raised her hand and wanted to push the door in, but after thinking about it, she withdrew her hand, stood outside the door for a moment with a complicated expression, and finally turned around and left.
She didn't want to say goodbye, perhaps, as if she had never left.
Xu Ningxue came to the place where Du Qingyu asked her to wait, she was wearing a white T-shirt with a strange pattern, white jeans, long hair tied high into a ponytail, and she was kicking the small stones under her feet in every kind of boredom, the future seemed to be shrouded in the mist, confused and unable to see the end.
