Volume 1: Searching for Him Chapter 9. I can't say that I am concerned
On Monday morning, Lin Xi gorgeously caught a cold. However, the children of the second year of high school could not afford to take leave, so Lin Xi took two pills and went to school in a daze. She listened hard, her ears were ringing, her nose was out of breath, her chest was so painful, her face was so hot, she probably had a fever.
In Chinese class, when Leng Nan came in, he saw Lin Xihong's fluttering face, which was in stark contrast to the original fairness. Hearing her wake up from time to time, I knew that he had a cold, and I was faintly worried.
In the afternoon, fixing the time for Lin Xi to hand in class homework, Leng Nan was a little expectant, he warmed a glass of water with a new clean coffee cup, found out the cold medicine he had eaten last time, and prepared to wait for Lin Xi to come and give it to her.
The door opened, it was Sun Meng, she said anxiously: "Teacher Leng, I moved the homework for Lin Xi, she has a cold, I'm afraid of giving it to you." ”
Leng Nan was stunned for a moment, not understanding that he would be a little disappointed, looking at the water and medicine in the cup, he sighed: What's wrong with him? Just a likable student. He didn't think much of it and put the medicine back in his desk drawer.
For three days in a row, the homework was sent by Sun Meng, and the record book was written by Lin Xi herself, which was still so clear and tidy.
In today's class, Leng Nan found that she was paying so much attention to Lin Xi, and found that she coughed from time to time, and she forced herself to endure it, so that her face turned red.
After work yesterday night, he had already bought pear cream and some other cold medicine from the pharmacy and was hesitating to give it to her. Seeing her coughing so uncomfortably today, when Sun Meng came to hand in her homework, he took out the pear paste and said deliberately lightly: "Lin Xi is not okay?" I happen to have a bottle of pear cream here, take it to her! ”
Sun Meng was taken aback, and deliberately said casually: "Thank you, Mr. Leng, I promise to bring it." Leng Nan just didn't know.
In the classroom, Sun Meng secretly gave the medicine to Lin Xi: "Teacher Leng gave it to you." ”
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and there was some joy in his heart. Sun Meng bit her ear with her: "Say, do you like you?" ”
Lin Xi hurriedly said, "How is it possible? It's just because I'm the representative of his class. Sun Meng muttered to herself: "Is it just that?" Lin Xi was a little weak-hearted, in fact, it was just.
The next day, when Sun Meng came to hand in her homework, she put a post-it note in the notebook, which read: Thank you, Mr. Leng, for the trouble, I will get better as soon as possible. A smiley face was drawn on the back. Leng Nan wanted to write something, but after thinking about it, forget it.
After a few more days, Lin Xi finally came to deliver the homework, and Leng Nan saw her thin smiling face, and she actually had the joy of reuniting after a long absence.
I wanted to say something to her, but under her gaze, I felt that there was nothing to hide, and I took a breath and said: "The results of the last essay competition came out, you won the second prize, and the three people who won the first prize went to the competition, don't be discouraged, I think your essay is better written." ”
Lin Xi smiled indifferently: "Thank you, teacher, I am already very satisfied with the second prize." Looking at her big eyes, he felt clumsy.
After self-study in the evening, Leng Nan went to class and saw Lin Xi and a boy standing in the corridor, the boy was very tall, and he was still holding a book in his hand. When I got closer, it was the boy who talked to her in the last essay competition, named Yang Yichen, and he was in the first prize of the essay competition.
Walking a few steps closer, I faintly heard Lin Xi's voice: "Thank you, I have the book, you can give others what they need!" Don't buy me anything in the future. ”
Yang Yichen smiled: "We are classmates, it's okay." I heard you have a cold, are you okay? ”
Lin Xi saw Leng Nan: "Teacher Leng!" Said to Yang Yichen: "Yang Yichen, I'm in class." ”
Yang Yichen also called Teacher Leng respectfully, and said to Lin Xi that he would come to her next time, so he took a step and left.
After the evening self-study, Lin Xi walked home alone, originally Sun Meng was with her, the two of them lived in a community, not far from the school, and they could get there in fifteen minutes, and they all went to and from school together. Today, Sun Meng went home early, and her grandmother was sick and hospitalized.
Leng Nan drove the car and looked at Lin Xi in front of her, honking the horn, but she didn't raise her head. I had to get out of the car and walk up: "Lin Xi, why do you go alone?" ”
Lin Xi looked up at Teacher Leng, and said shyly: "My home is not far away, Sun Meng has something to do today, and we will go together." ”
"Let's go, I'll give you a ride." Leng Nan couldn't help but say.
Lin Xi had no choice but to get into the car, speechless all the way, Lin Xi was a little nervous, and Leng Nan didn't know what to say to her. turned on the music in the car: I am not your person, I can't bring you comfort, bear your withered, withered rose...... is Lin Xi's favorite "Once the Most Beautiful". For some reason, she liked this faint sadness and helplessness.
She was surprised and asked, "The teacher also likes this song?" ”
"Also, are you too?" Leng Nan smiled, "I'll listen casually, I believe that some sorrows can be changed through hard work." ”
Lin Xi thought of the hard work of his parents and said: "Sometimes there are times when I am powerless to change, and fate is never something I can control. ”
Leng Nan glanced at her fair side face and shook her head: "At your age, you can't trust fate, fate is in your own hands." ”
When he arrived at the gate of the Red Leaf Community, Lin Xi got out of the car and said politely to Leng Nan: "Thank you, teacher, drive carefully, goodbye!" Leng Nan saw her walk into the community and left.
Lin Xi's heart was pounding, and he thought as he walked: Teacher Leng seems to be very good to me, he gave me cough medicine last time he had a cold, and today he sent me home. He doesn't like me, does he?
She quickly denied herself: How could it be? I'm just a yellow-haired little girl, on posture, on work, on talent, none of them can be done, why does he like you, it's just a teacher's concern for students.
However, why should I care if Mr. Leng likes me or not? Did I like him? Lin Xi thought, she couldn't answer herself.
When I got home, Lin's mother had already cooked the meals, and Lin's father was serving them to the table: straw mushrooms and celery, a plate of braised pork ribs, tomato and egg soup, and the family had been very economical in order to pay off the debts of the house.
Her parents kept clipping pork ribs for her, saying that she had lost weight from a cold recently, and she wanted to eat more. Lin Xi was sensible, knowing that her parents didn't eat pork ribs in order to save herself from eating, she sandwiched two pieces for the two of them and said, "Dad, Mom, you eat too." ”
Mother Lin took out a walkman and said, "Mengmeng, what you want, Mom saved for a month, reduced the family's expenses, and finally bought it for you." No, listen to English for you. ”
Looking at her parents' old faces, concerned eyes, and tired eyes, Lin Xi couldn't help but blame herself: What am I doing? If you don't study hard and think crankily, are you worthy of your parents?
It was late at night, Lin Xi was still studying under the lamp, and she made up her mind: studying seriously is the only thing she can do and should do now.
