Chapter Seventy-Six: Gifts and Exchanges

This was the first time since he crossed over that Xu Wenmin took the initiative to talk to him, and Bai Yaolong was also quite surprised.

In fact, since he just discussed the blackboard newspaper, Bai Yaolong has been looking forward to having more conversations with Xu Wenmin, but unfortunately he is only a shallow learner, and he doesn't have much poetry and painting of those literary and artistic youths, as well as the cultural atmosphere of literati, so every time he talks with a person like Xu Wenmin who believes in the supremacy of learning, he always feels that he is at a disadvantage.

Jin Ling and Yang Zegang saw that Xu Wenmin was a little shy, and they didn't know if she wanted to find Bai Yaolong alone, but both of them seemed to be standing in place a little stupidly, but Bai Yaolong reacted quickly and said, "Well, let's go over there and talk about it." ”

After speaking, he smiled at Jin Ling and the others, signaling that they could be sensible, and Xu Wenmin nodded after hearing this, and returned to Huang Jushu with him.

Jin Ling and Yang Zegang saw the two of them walking under the yellow cypress tree together, their faces were a little not good-looking, but then they turned their heads and walked towards the classroom, without paying much attention to the two of them.

When he came to the yellow cypress tree, Xu Wenmin just glanced at Bai Yaolong's eyes, and then put his gaze on his chin, so that he could try not to look at him.

But she didn't look at Bai Yaolong, but she didn't know if she had a heart, she could always feel that Bai Yaolong's eyes had been focused on her face.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Bai Yaolong was a little curious, he didn't know what Xu Wenmin took the initiative to do with him today, because of the series of things that happened before, he knew that his existence might bring some pressure to Xu Wenmin in a sense, so the two of them had always kept their distance tacitly.

Of course, it may be that he is too careful, but he has put himself in his shoes, if he is Xu Wenmin, at least he will be more or less stressed.

Because this is human nature, no matter how sensible and strong Xu Wenmin is, and no matter how natural he and his family behave, when people accept gifts from others, they will more or less have some inferiority complex, especially for a delicate person like Xu Wenmin.

In fact, Xu Wenmin didn't know how to face Bai Yaolong, her family had received such a great favor from their family, how she could repay his family's kindness, this has always been the most tangled place in her heart.

Many people can't understand this kind of feeling, thinking that someone will help you, are you still entangled, stupid? Don't you know that now the old man is full of streets, and the liar is walking sideways?

This is really not, the rural people at that time were really very simple, the so-called would rather owe people money than owe favors was the general perception in the countryside at that time, and Xu Wenmin's family now owes both money and favors, so every time I think of the Bai family, I have an indescribable apprehension.

Does this mean that Bai Yaolong helped her, and she has a kind of affection for Bai Yaolong, of course not, she has never regarded Bai Yaolong as a person she likes in her heart, at most she is just a benefactor.

Because deep down, she has always thought that she and Bai Yaolong are people from different worlds, whether it is material conditions or personality habits, they are two parallel lines that will never intersect, so although Bai Yaolong helped her, she never thought about it.

All in all, Bai Yaolong is now in her heart, it is a tangled lock, and she can't say why she is locking what kind of feelings.

Xu Wenmin settled his mind, reminded himself to be generous, and then said as naturally as possible: "That's the case, my mother asked me to bring you some oranges for you last night, and now the oranges are in the dormitory, after you finish self-study tonight, wait for me at the pavilion over there in the cafeteria, and I will go back to the dormitory and bring it to you." ”

The Xu family is not wealthy, and the only cash crop at present is the orange tree at home, which is also a famous specialty of Baijing Town, but because every family has planted this thing, it is not worth a few dollars when the transportation conditions are not good at that time.

But after all, the courtesy is light and affectionate, and Xu's mother thought that the last time Bai Yaolong worked hard to take the two of them to see a doctor, it could be regarded as a courtesy, and Xu Wenmin brought him a bag of the only local products in the family.

Of course, Bai Yaolong figured out the reason why Xu Wenmin gave him oranges, nodded with a smile, and asked, "Is it heavy?" Do you want me to go downstairs and help you pick it up? ”

Xu Wenmin heard that he was going to come downstairs for girls again, and the evening self-study was the peak period for ladies to get hot water, if he saw himself carrying a bag of oranges to the boys, then where could he still say clearly, it was estimated that the roots of his ears would be chewed by others tomorrow, so he hurriedly said: "No, it's not heavy, you must not come to the girls' dormitory, just wait for me in the pavilion." ”

"Well, I'll be there tonight, see you or leave." Bai Yaolong also knew that she was different from Jin Ling, she grew up in a rural environment, and what she paid the most attention to was these unseen and untouchable celebrities, so she didn't dare to tease her like Jin Ling.

Xu Wenmin was afraid that Bai Yaolong would do something out of the ordinary like the last apology again, and repeatedly emphasized several times that he should not come to the girls' dormitory before walking towards the classroom, while Bai Yaolong, who was looking at her back, lowered his head and smiled sweetly.

***

Bai Yaolong was restless in the evening self-study, the reason was not that he was looking forward to going on a date with Xu Wenmin in the evening to get oranges, but that he was not full at all after eating two sweet potatoes, and by the second class, he was already hungry.

This is also the second time he has been hungry, the previous time was because of Xu Wenmin, but this time it was because of Jin Ling, both times he was a woman who was destined for him in this life.

Waiting for the end of the evening self-study class, he didn't leave in a hurry, but waited for the classmates in the class to finish, Jin Ling took a special look at him when he passed by him, and also walked out of the classroom with the classmates in the town.

Seeing that the people were almost gone, Bai Yaolong packed up his belongings, put on his satchel, and walked towards the pavilion on the other side of the canteen.

On the other side of the school, there was the bustle of students on the road, but there were only a few dim street lamps to accompany me.

Because there is no moonlight, the shadows of the trees are mottled and dark, and it was originally a gray tone, but it couldn't stop Bai Yaolong's excitement in his heart, although he went to get a bag of insignificant oranges, but he was very happy to meet Xu Wenmin under the lamp.

After coming to the pavilion in the cafeteria, Bai Yaolong knew that Xu Wenmin would not be able to come for a while, so he lit a cigarette as usual.

Because there was no moonlight today, the environment around him was a little dim, except for the faint light of the old incandescent lamp next to the pavilion, making his cigarette butt seem to be the lighthouse in the dark night.

The cigarette burned out little by little, until the last trace of ash fell to the ground, Xu Wenmin still did not appear, Bai Yaolong looked at the time, he had been waiting for more than twenty minutes, although he was willing to wait here until dawn, but he still hoped that Xu Wenmin would come soon.
