Chapter 140: Cen Man's Memories
When Cen Man returned to T City and was approving the project materials of the school cooperation in H City, he remembered this chance encounter with Li Xian. Cen Man faced this lover when he was young, and he did not have mixed feelings like Li Xian, but sighed that time flies, and he can actually see his old friend again.
Thinking of Li Xian, Cen Man looked out the window with his eyes wandering, remembering the year he met Li Xian.
Cen Man was 16 years old at the time, but he rarely stepped out of Cen House. Because Cer's father couldn't bear to send his youngest daughter to a special school for the deaf and dumb, and considering the face of the Cen family, he didn't let her go out, so he could only rely on the relationship of the Cen family to register in a key school in T City, and invited a teacher to let Cen Man take classes at home.
Although Cen Man does not have to go to school, the school stipulates that Cen Man will participate in the big exam, and if his grades do not meet the standards, he will also drop out.
Cen Man is introverted, plus he can't speak, and he doesn't like to interact with people. At school, no one noticed that the girl only appeared during important exams.
On that day, Cen Man went to attend the end of the school as usual. I just got out of the car and was about to run to the school gate, but my bag was broken, and my books and pens were scattered all over the place.
Cen Man was hurriedly picking it up, and when he saw the big mouth that had been neatly crossed on the bag, he didn't know if it was Cen Wei or Cen Ting's prank.
At this time, a boy wearing the same school uniform also squatted down and helped her pick up the pen that had been rolled into the distance. "Thank you" Cen Man wrote these two words and hurriedly ran to the examination room.
The boy saw Cen Man slip away very quickly, leaving only a clear and beautiful back.
After the exam ended, the boy vaguely saw this familiar back and chased after him, "Hello classmate." Cen Man saw this boy clearly, he was very tall, and his wide school uniform was worn by him very well, with an age-inappropriate bearing, but when he smiled, he felt like the rising sun.
Cen Man's mind popped up the poem of Cao Zhi that he read a few days ago, dancing my son, and he was clever and sudden.
Seeing that Cen Man didn't speak, the boy was a little embarrassed, "My name is Li Xian, classmate, your name?" Cen Man pointed to the car at the school gate, smiled, waved his hand at Li Xian, and walked to the car.
The teacher who came to teach at home told Cen's father that Cen Man won the first place in the grade in this exam. Cen Man still remembers that his father was very happy to announce the news to the whole family. And there is a lot of talk in the school, and no one knows who the first grade is.
After that, Cen Ting's ridicule of Cen Man also began to intensify, and when Cen Father and Cen Mother were away, she always liked to pull Cen Wei and curse at her door together. Cen Man didn't care, because his father finally allowed Cen Man to go to school regularly to get some materials, although he couldn't listen to classes, but he could occasionally go to the outside world to see, and Cen Man was also happy.
It was drizzling on this day, and Cen Man was reading Tolstoy boredly. "Miss, come down quickly. There are classmates looking for you" This is the voice of Sister-in-law Jin. Cen Man was puzzled for a while, she didn't have any classmates or friends.
"You're Cen Man?" Li Xian looked up and saw this beautiful girl walking downstairs, and shouted in surprise. "The teacher asked me to send you the registration form for the city essay contest, because you are the first in the grade, and let you participate."
"I finally know that your name is Cen Man, last time you ran away like this, I thought I scared you." Li Xian smiled shyly, revealing a row of good-looking and neat teeth.
"I'm sorry, but I want to trouble you to tell the teacher that I can't go to the essay contest." Cen Man wrote slowly.
Li Xian looked at her with some doubts, and then saw the Juanxiu font on the notebook, "I can't speak"
"What does it matter, you don't have to speak in the essay contest." Cen Man was amused by the big boy, but she knew that her father would never allow her to go out to participate in any competition, and it was the biggest concession in her father's heart to go to school.
Cen Man still shook his head and refused.
"I've read your essays, and it's a shame not to write them so well." Li Xian said in a low voice, he saw that Cen Man was resolute in refusing, so he didn't ask again.
Li Xian seemed to see Cen Man's depression, and was also full of curiosity about this slender and beautiful girl who couldn't speak.
Cen Man can't remember how long he talked with Li Xian that day, he only remembers that the sky was gray that day, but the 16-year-old Cen Man's young heart lit up.
In this way, although Cen Man did not participate in the essay contest, the two gradually became acquainted.
Every time Cen Man went to school to get the materials, Li Xian would sneak out and chat with her. Li Xian always carries two cups of milk tea in his hands, and the two sit side by side on the mat in the abandoned gymnasium, sometimes they don't speak, sometimes Li Xian keeps talking, laughing when he talks about it, Cen Man is happy to see this boy.
In this way, Li Xian became the only friend in Cen Man's school, and it was also her only "secret" at that time.
One day of the semester, Cen Man came to the school for the exam as promised, and the moment he entered the school gate, he found that someone was pointing at him, and there was always a discussion behind him, "The first Cen Man is actually a mute" "You see that she never comes to class, too, how can a dumb person come to class?" "Tut-tut, a dumb person can also take the first test. It can't be cheating, right? ”
Cen Man only remembered that exam, and the voices of people were constantly echoing in his head, and he couldn't remember how to finish the exam. After the exam, Cen Man rushed out directly and ran to a place where there was no one, she couldn't bear it anymore, and the two lines of tears couldn't stop flowing.
Li Xian was a little anxious when he couldn't see Cen Man's figure after the exam, and finally found Cen Man crying silently in the corner of the school. Li Xian wiped her tears and said, "It's beautiful to cry." ”
Looking at Cen Man, who was smiling, Li Xian scratched her crying nose and comforted: "Did you hear what they said?" They are jealous, don't take it to heart. ”
That day, Li Xian insisted on sending Cen Man home, and when Cen Man arrived home, he waved his hand to Li Xian, which was a unique farewell gesture between the two. Li Xian didn't leave, and at the moment Cen Man entered the door, he suddenly shouted firmly and reluctantly: "Cen Man! You can't talk and I like you too! No matter what others say, I Li Xian don't care! ”
The moment he entered the door, the tears on Cen Man's face, which had been wiped dry by Li Xian, flowed out again.
Subsequently, when he was with Li Xian, Cen Man was warm and happy. Cen Man also went to school more and more often, and the two were always looking for opportunities to sneak out of school, Li Xian took her to the street to play games, and also took her to the center to see exhibitions.
Cen Man looked at this tall boy, sometimes feeling inferior, feeling that he had occupied the warmth that did not belong to him. But Li Xian told her that everything that is too perfect will have flaws, and it is Cen Man who really warms herself.
This period was also the happiest time when Cen Man was a girl. The mean brother and sister and strict parents made Cen Man fall in love with the precious warmth on Li Xian.
Until one day, Cen Man came home from school as usual and found Cen Father sitting in the living room with a serious face. "Where are you going" Father Cen asked her without raising his head, for Cen Man, who couldn't speak, this meant not waiting for her to answer, but the opening remarks before the reprimand.
"Cen Man, you are too much, Dad asked you to go to school to get materials to study, you don't know where to go to fool around, how can you still have the face to come back." Cen Ting has always liked to see Cen Man make a fool of herself, and said with a gloating face.
"Tingting, it's none of your business, go back!" Father Cen looked at this daughter who had no sisterly affection and said even more angrily.
"Do you think that you will be lawless if you do well in the exam recently, don't think that I don't know where you are going, Cen Man, you are getting bolder and bolder. Are you going to be angry with Dad, don't go out in the future! Just leave me at home. Let's talk about it after the university entrance examination! ”
That day, Cen's father's anger was heard by the entire Cen family, and it was not until Cen Man's mother came to the rescue that the matter was hurriedly resolved.
Cen's father's anger did not cut off Cen Man's contact with Li Xian, but because she couldn't meet, Cen Man didn't have her only "friend". Fortunately, both of them are the leaders of the key high school in T City, and they were both admitted to good universities. It's just that Cen Man stayed in the city for health reasons, while Li Xian went to the far north.
Due to Cen Man's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Cen Man's father agreed that she would take courses specially set up by the university for the convenience of the deaf and mute, but she could not live on campus.
Although he can't go far, Cen Man is also free. Although the distance between him and Li Xian is far, he can't stop the hearts of passionate lovers. It was only Cen Man, who grew up later, that he knew that the world is unpredictable, and people's hearts will not always change.
This winter, a rare light snow fell in T City, and Cen Man shivered from the cold on the way home from the library, so he changed from walking to trotting.
"Classmate, your stuff has dropped again." Cen Man felt that the voice was familiar, and turned his head to see Li Xian with a smile on his face. Cen Man excitedly rushed into Li Xian's arms.
Cen Man was just about to take out a pen and paper and asked Li Xian why he suddenly appeared. Li Xian pressed her hand, and then gestured a little awkwardly. I love you, Vine
In the snow, the two kissed.
Li Xian looked at Cen Man's back when he was about to enter the door, just like the young man at the beginning, he still shouted firmly and reluctantly: "Cen Man, I love you, I must marry you." This time, Cen Man didn't cry, he smiled so happily.
It's just that Cen Man didn't expect that it would be the last time he met Li Xian before he met in H City. The boy who kept saying that he wanted to marry her disappeared without a sound.
Cen Man has always been unsure whether that Li Xianlai was a farewell before leaving, or a whimsical confession.
Cen Man did not look around after Li Xian disappeared. She thanked Li Xian for the warmth she had given, and she also knew that after the warmth, she should not chase the light that was extinguished.
Cen Man has been living as usual, and he doesn't look unusual. It was only two years later that he accidentally met with Li Xian's roommate, and during a casual chat, Cen Man learned that Li Xian went to the United States to study medicine and was not going to come back.
