Chapter 68

A week before the midterm exam, I finally saw Jing Yehang again.

Like every sweltering summer day, when school ended, my hair was already wet with sweat and sticking to my face and neck. In addition, there have been nightmares for days, so that the eye circles are dark, the face is pale, and the ugliness can be imagined. Even at an age when I was very concerned about my appearance, I was physically and mentally exhausted, but I didn't care about the eyes and comments of others, after all, it was imperative for me to find a way to refresh myself and get rid of the groggy state of being in the middle of the day to cope with the next series of exams. However, meeting Jing Yehang is a different story. Although Jing Yehang, who was leaning next to the stone lion outside the school gate, was almost overwhelmed by the crowd after school, I could see him at a glance. Suddenly, the gloom that enveloped me dissipated, and my heart became lighter. I hesitated for a moment, and it didn't take much effort to convince myself to let go of my shame and trot to catch up with the night sailing. Before I could get closer, Jing Yehang took a step. He nodded at me and motioned for me to follow. Jing Yehang's unusual coldness made me vaguely aware that I should keep my distance from him. With an inexplicable grievance, I followed him in a trance. When I came back to my senses and looked around, I found myself on the boulevard, and Jing Yehang stood in the shadow of the trees. It was dusk, and the strings of colored lights hanging on the trees had not yet been lit, and the dim light made everything in front of me seem blurry and unreal. The chirping of the cicadas made my headache worsen and my mood began to get bored. I was tempted to sit down on the wooden chair beside the path and rest for a while, but I thought that Jing Yehang might not have the intention of having a long conversation with me, so I had to give up.

The air seemed to freeze, a sign of something bad coming. I waited timidly, and for a long time, Jing Yehang broke the silence. To my sadness, he dispensed with all the greetings and unceremoniously asked me directly: "Are they telling the truth?" ”

I blinked and looked at him in confusion. At the time, I had the wishful thinking that Jing Yehang would not have any contact with anyone in the school except me, so naturally there was no way of knowing what had happened during his absence. Who are they? What do they mean? I frowned and thought about it for a while, but I still couldn't come up with an answer.

Probably because he couldn't wait for my reply, Jing Yehang whispered a clue, a name that I am familiar with: "Xian Xingyuan......"

Hearing Xingyuan's name from others again after many days really made me have mixed feelings. Excitement and sadness welled up in my heart, and I couldn't help but burst into tears. For a long time, I didn't want to face the fact that Xingyuan had passed away, let alone talk about it. However, Jing Yehang is my friend, the only one who deserves to open my heart, and for whatever reason, if he wants to know, then I tell him. I choked up and nodded with difficulty. At that time, I didn't notice the obvious strangeness at all, for example, how did Jing Yehang learn Xingyuan's name? And why did she suddenly mention her? I was just hoping that I could get some care and comfort in exchange for my heart, but unfortunately, reality once again ruthlessly shattered my hopes.

"Is it......" Captain Jing Ye let out a long sigh and muttered in a deep voice, "It turns out that it is true......"

"What?" I stared at Jing Yehang in a daze, and the next second I understood the deep meaning hidden in his words. It's unbelievable that he didn't choose to believe me among me and the other people who were taunting me! I clenched my fists, trying to find my reason in the anger of being betrayed and the heartache of being let down in order to get revenge. With tears in my eyes, I smiled in the most contemptuous tone: "Yes...... You're looking at the wrong person! ”

"I'm so stupid...... I thought I could get ...... Angel's Favor ......" After speaking, Jing Yehang stretched out his hand and hammered the trunk of the tree beside him, and did not speak again.

Even though I couldn't make out the look on the night sail in the shadows, I was sure that he must have seen me crying in the light. However, he was indifferent to my tears. I don't know how long later, disheartened, I decided to turn away, and at the same time, there was still a glimmer of hope in my heart, hoping that Jing Yehang would catch up and beg for my forgiveness. Ironically, all this is nothing more than a stupid luxury......

That night, my heart was so hard that I wanted to cry, but I found that the tears had already flowed. After a night of tossing and turning, I still couldn't sleep. As the first rays of sunlight appeared, I began to feel nervous, because I really didn't know how to deal with the night voyage. Thanks to the night flight, the problem is no longer there. At first, I thought he was just taking time off as usual, but later, when the homeroom teacher mentioned in the self-study class that he would take relevant courses during his third year of high school in order to prepare for the entrance examination to a foreign university, I realized that he would not appear at this school again. Most of the students just laughed at the farewell of Jing Yehang, and then left it behind in a blink of an eye. I envy their open-mindedness, after all, I know that I will not be able to be like them for a long time.

Since then, Jing Yehang and his name have completely disappeared from my world.
