"Chapter 21: Youthful Perceptions"
Mu Fan waited anxiously for Xiao Nan's response next to the phone booth. But after waiting for a long time, I didn't hear any from Xiao Nan.
He was very worried, worried that something would happen to Xiao Nan, and that she would encounter any danger! He also made several phone calls to Xiao Nan's dormitory, but there was no news! It made him a little confused about what to do.
waited until it was very late and the dormitory building was closed, and he had no choice but to go back. But at this time, the telephone rang like a life-saving straw, so he rushed over and grabbed it tightly.
"Hey, is it Xiao Nan?" Mu Fan clenched the phone and let out a quick, low, unadorned voice.
"Mu Fan, I thought you were going back, so I tried to make this call, but I didn't expect you to be still there!" Xiao Nan couldn't help but blame herself.
It is estimated that it is the first time that she can be so indulgent, which makes her forget time, forget herself, and forget Mu Fan. When she suddenly arrived, she opened her phone and there were already more than a dozen missed calls.
She hurriedly ran out of the door of the bar, and then called Mu Fan.
"Xiao Nan, I'm worried about you, where have you been, I didn't answer a lot of calls!"
"I'm sorry Mu Fan, I didn't hear it, it's too noisy here." When he spoke, Xiao Nan's unconscious tone was a little low.
"Where are you, aren't you at school?"
"I haven't gone back yet, but I've come to the bar with a few sisters from our dorm."
"Bar ......" Mu Fan didn't expect. When he said this, he had a shocked look on his face. "How did you go to that place?"
"Mu Fan, don't be nervous, we also came out to have a meal, and then a friend said to go to the bar to have a fun. Originally, I didn't want to go, but then everyone thought it was fresh, so I came. β
"Xiao Nan, I always feel that you shouldn't go to that kind of place."
"Mu Fan, it's not as serious as you think, just come out for entertainment, and nothing will happen. Besides, we're all adults now, and it's not a bad thing for our classmates to come out and relax and relieve stress. β
"Okay, Xiao Nan, I'm just worried about you. Since you're fine, go back early, it's time for me to go back to my dorm. β
"Mu Fan, are you angry with me? I know that I did something wrong, I didn't tell you in time, I didn't answer your call in time, it's all my fault! Don't be angry. β
"No, Xiao Nan, I'm not angry, it's just too late, go back quickly, ah."
Mu Fan hung up the phone after speaking, and walked towards Su with a face as gloomy as the night. Leaving Xiao Nan's phone "beeping" ringing, it couldn't calm the loneliness in his heart for a long time.
It is not surprising to say that the wild rush that was still galloping in selflessness just now turned to find that loneliness was quietly and ruthlessly waiting, which may be the sadness of people.
Jing Chen came to Xiao Nan's side silently like a ghost, startling Xiao Nan who was still thinking about it.
"What, you had a fight with your boyfriend?" Jing Chen asked.
Xiao Nan was silent, quietly looking at the lights not far away for a while.
"Xiao Nan, maybe you can feel that I like you." Jing Chen also looked into the distance.
"No, Jingchen, we can't, these are two different things. If you had to say something like that at this point, it would disgust me, and we wouldn't even be friends. Xiao Nan said very decisively.
Jing Chen smiled, "Maybe I was rude, I'm sorry." They're out, let's go back. β
"What are you two doing here, secretly come out and talk about love!" Yuanfan quipped.
Xiao Nan glared at Yuan Fan, didn't say any hello, turned around and left.
"Eh, what's wrong with her, don't be so stingy!"
Seeing this, several girls hurriedly caught up, and Xiaowei kicked Yuanfan by the way.
"Huh...... Why are you kicking me, why are girls like this! Jingchen, it won't be you who hurt people's hearts, right? β
Jing Chen snorted, "It's too inopportune for you to come." β
"What, it's still ruining the good things of the two of you?!"
"Let's go, stop the ink......"
Yuanfan looked ignorant and ignorant.
When a few girls caught up with Xiao Nan, they all comforted what happened.
Xiao Nan just walked absent-mindedly, and his mind was not on this at all.
"Is that guy Jingchen bullying you?" Xiaowei asked indignantly.
"Oh, it's none of his business, maybe I shouldn't have come to this place."
"What's the matter, isn't it okay just now?" Ma Zhe said.
"It's Mu Fan, he's angry with me!"
"Oh, I thought it was a big deal, it turned out to be your family! You can just explain to him, we're all together, what's wrong with coming out and relaxing! Xiaowei felt somewhat disdainful.
"Xiao Nan, relax, I think Mu Fan can still understand, if he can't get over this, we'll explain to him later. He wouldn't be unreasonable. Gu Xin found out that it was not Xiao Nan and Jing Chen's business, and she was also busy comforting.
"Hmm...... I hope it's not good, in short, I didn't tell him in time, and I didn't answer his phone in time, so he waited outside stupidly for a long time. Xiao Nan felt a little guilty.
"Hmm...... Like your family's big white style, this is really resentful. You explain it well, ah. Xiaowei said while holding Xiao Nan's arm.
A couple of girls walked in the dim light, followed by two boys back to school.
β¦β¦
Mu Fan returned to the dormitory, doing his own thing step by step, and after going to bed, he fell into deep thought again. Unconsciously, contemplation seemed to become an essential thing for him every day before going to bed. Of course, he also likes to read books with a flashlight, just like he did after high school. It's just that it's no longer a textbook or something. At least that way he could have something to rely on while he meditated.
He opens a book, which is a novel about a young love story. That's what he stumbled upon in the library. The name was very good, and he thought it was poetic, so he borrowed it.
It's hard to imagine that youth and death are so close together that they seem to be as inseparable as symbiosis. And the dead do not feel pain, but the living have such a dull memory. This puzzled him. He can understand that this is a tribute to those who are suffering from depression, just like a tribute to youth. But who knows that the dead are mourning the living in the same way, or that youth is mourning those who are ruthlessly destroyed by reality in the same way.
Maybe it's too sad. He wants to understand it more as a kind of world, or as a universe. Maybe in such an environment, the two will coexist, and only then can they find that living corner.
Mu Fan watched and fell asleep unconsciously, and he had a strange dream. He dreamed of Watanabe, he dreamed of Naoko, and he dreamed of Kizuki. Also, he dreamed of himself and Xiao Nan, and the two of them followed the three of them.
Early the next morning, the phone in Mu Fan's dormitory rang non-stop. The boss lazily picked up the phone and asked who the other party was. Knowing that he was looking for Mu Fan, he fell over.
Mu Fan could guess who it was, speaking of which, Xiao Nan hadn't called the dormitory for a long time. This is not difficult to understand, he has always called Xiao Nan from a public phone, and Xiao Nan also knows that Mu Fan is used to protecting his love.
imagined that Xiao Nan knew that she was still angry with her, so she must have asked for warmth early. But after one night, he was already relieved. Everyone has their own spiritual world, so why follow the routine of others. If others are tired, you are also tired.
But when he answered the phone, he was a little disappointed. It was Xingwei who called.
"Hey, Mu Fan, are you up?"
"Oh, Xingwei, just got up."
"After class this afternoon, you come to the gymnasium, I made an appointment with You Xi to listen to our sample." Xingwei's tone was full of excitement.
"So fast, that's great, we'll definitely go!"
"Well, be on time, don't be too late."
"Okay, Xingwei."
Hanging up the phone, Mu Fan was still a little worried about what he imagined about Xiao Nan just now. He felt that Xiao Nan didn't care about him. He shook his head and went to wash.
Just as he was about to move, the phone rang again. He felt that this time it must be Xiao Nan, it must be right! I picked up the phone in one hand.
"Hey, hello, I'll find Mu Fan."
"Oh, You Xi, I am."
The boss, who was still sleeping soundly, immediately came to his senses when he heard that it was You Xi.
"What is You Xi looking for for you......" The boss stared at Mu Fan and asked vigorously, for fear that if he made a mistake, he would find himself again.
Mu Fan couldn't take care of it for a while, and he stammered and didn't know who to promise.
"Mu Fan, Xingwei told you, she invited us to listen to her sample."
"Oh, come on, it's the phone call I just made."
"That's good, we'll see you then."
"Okay, okay, wait for You Xi, the boss has to talk to you......" Before he could finish speaking, he hung up the phone. Mu Fan had no choice but to spread his hands and look at the boss's helpless appearance.
"You kid, is there something you're hiding from me? What are You Xi looking for you for? β
"It's not a boss, look at you nervous, I want to say that she wants to ask me out for dinner and can't make you angry!"
"Then you'll have to call me!" The boss hurriedly answered.
"What's such a good thing, let's go to the gymnasium together in the afternoon to listen to Xingwei's sample. Do you want to go all together? β
"Well, forget it, I'm not going, there's something going on in the afternoon." The boss didn't seem as active as he had just been.
"Something, you can't be dating another girl, I seem to have seen you inadvertently the day before yesterday......"
"Shhhh The boss looks like a thief.
"It's not good for you to do this! Saying that I like You Xi here, I'm dating other girls over there, your feet are a little too far, be careful. β
"You don't understand this, do I have to hang myself from a tree!" The Boss looked disdainful.
"Okay, okay, I don't bother to care, you're eating from the bowl and looking at the pot for discontentment."
"Cut ......"
As soon as Mu Fan finished speaking, he was about to leave, when the phone rang again.
The two of them looked at the phone, and the boss said, "There must be someone looking for you, this early morning, don't let people sleep peacefully!" As he spoke, he turned his head and covered himself with the quilt.
Mu Fan looked at the phone and was silent for a long time.
