Chapter 20: Are You Going to Have Early Love?
It's summer, it's hot.
Ning Xin picked up the posture: "You sit down first!" β
He Dongfan tilted his head to look out of the window, took a breath, and sat down reluctantly.
Ning Xin's face was originally serious, but when she saw He Dongfan sitting upright, his hands clenched into fists resting on his legs, he looked like he was going to fight unevenly.
She was suddenly amused by his childish but zealous righteousness.
He Dongfan was even more speechless when he heard her laugh.
How can anyone laugh when they are beaten like this?
Not to mention, He Dongfan's appearance is masculine and weekly, and when he raises his eyebrows, his bright image is completely different from that of his usual day. Coupled with his superior body and height, ordinary people can really be bluffed when they look at it.
Ning Xin patiently explained to him: "No one hit me, it was an injury I was injured during the game when I participated in the game on behalf of the team. β
He Dongfan's gaze fell on her right cheek.
Her skin is white, and the piece of red, purple, purple, blue, yellow and yellow at the moment looks worrying.
Ning Xin smiled a little and was a little proud: "Besides, who can bully me?" β
He Dongfan remembered the way she cleaned up, released her clenched fists, and nodded in agreement.
Ning Xin really felt a little hot.
She stood up and took off her thin coat, leaving only a round-neck white T-shirt.
He Dongfan seemed curious: "Do you often get injured in competitions?" β
Ning Xin put his coat on the chair, sat down, took He Dongfan's test paper and read the wrong questions, and said in a disapproving tone: "Fortunately, there is protective gear, and it is not a revenge fight, it is measured." β
After not hearing a sound for a while, Ning Xin raised her eyes and met He Dongfan's gaze.
Her eyelashes trembled, and she was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?" β
He didn't answer, turned his face away and looked out the window for two seconds, then picked up his pen and continued to work on the question.
Ning Xin couldn't understand him.
This, she thought, was probably the age gap.
She wasn't going to get him to understand.
She read the test papers before and after, and made a concluding remark: "He Dongfan, our strategy is right, we are currently focusing on the question types of this semester, and there should be no problem with the final exam." β
He Dongfan let out an unhurried "um".
Ning Xin closed the test paper and reminded him: "But you have to know that winning your father is not the ultimate goal, the ultimate goal is the college entrance examination." The scope of the college entrance examination is all three years, so in the next semester, not only to face new knowledge, but also to grasp the previous fall, it will be more difficult and tiring, you have to be mentally prepared. β
He Dongfan said "um" again.
Ning Xin licked her lips and continued: "Not only mathematics, but also other subjects, which should also be valued. β
He Dongfan still responded with an "um".
Ning Xin opened her mouth and wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that He Dongfan had no positive emotions, she was afraid that she would annoy him by saying too much, so she chose to shut up.
She spread out his test paper, took a pen and paper, and summarized his mistakes.
At five o'clock, Ning Xin packed up her things and prepared to go home.
She put her thin coat on, zipped it up, and pulled it up.
The zipper puller snapped and broke directly.
It's broken.
He Dongfan watched, reached out and grabbed the small trash can on the table and handed it over.
Ning Xin threw the broken zipper puller in.
She turned around and pulled a thin black band out of her bag, threaded it through the zipper hole, and tied it in a knot.
She pulled up and down with the band, and it was repaired.
It was also at this time that He Dongfan saw Ning Xin's schoolbag zipper, which was also 'repaired' in this way.
Ning Xin put on her schoolbag, He Dongfan also went out with her, and he went to buy Coke.
The two walked side by side, chatting about learning topics with or without a pair.
After turning a corner, Ning Xin's voice stopped abruptly.
He Dongfan was puzzled, glanced at her, followed her line of sight, and saw Sheng Yu.
Sheng Yu was very different from the last time he saw him.
Today, he is wearing a full suit and carrying a black duffel bag in his hand, with a mature elite style.
He was tall and thin, and he was also good-looking.
He Dongfan thought, do all beautiful girls like this type?
As he was thinking, he caught a glimpse of a figure and quickly rushed forward.
It was Ning Xin, she rushed to Sheng Yu and grabbed his hand childishly.
At this moment, He Dongfan was sure that Ning Xin was in front of him, and he was stiffening the posture of a teacher.
That's who she is.
More naΓ―ve than his cousin!
Ning Xin unconsciously shook Sheng Yu's hand gently: "Are you coming back today?" Why didn't you say it? β
"I came back after the project ended early, and I knew that you were doing a tutor when I looked at the time, so I came and waited for you directly." Sheng Yu looked at the injury on Ning Xin's cheek, "Didn't you say that it wasn't serious?" β
"It's not serious, it's the potion that looks scary."
Sheng Yu didn't say much, and raised his eyes to see He Dongfan with his hands in his trouser pockets, walking slowly.
He took the initiative to greet: "Xiao Fan." β
He Dongfan pulled out his hand, and his voice was not loud: "Brother." β
Ning Xin turned her head to look at He Dongfan and waved to him: "He Dongfan, goodbye." β
After speaking, she looked at Sheng Yu with a smile and explained: "He went over there and went to buy Coke." β
He Dongfan: "......"
Sheng Yu smiled with He Dongfan: "Goodbye." β
He Dongfan smiled and didn't smile: "Goodbye." β
Then, with his hands in his trouser pockets, he walked down the side without squinting.
The blue brick walls, the gray stone slabs, the trees in the courtyard are swaying, and the cicadas are chirping.
In the evening, everything seems to glow.
Sheng Yu and Ning Xin held hands and walked along the road to the entrance of the alley.
Sheng Yu was on a business trip for half a month this time, and he was busy with the thesis defense before the trip, and he and Ning Xin hadn't seen each other for nearly a month.
He kept looking sideways at her.
Of course, Ning Xin noticed it, pursed her lips, her heart was sweet, and her cheeks were dyed red.
Sheng Yu leaned in slightly and kissed her on the cheek.
Ning Xin wore a ponytail, and her white ears were obviously red under the scattered hair.
Sheng Yu laughed silently and approached again.
Suddenly, a gust of wind passed.
No!
It was a figure passing by from the side with the wind.
He Dongfan ran very fast, rushed to the front and jumped, his fingers dragged a leaf, and it fell.
Sheng Yu and Ning Xin both stopped.
Sheng Yu: "......"
Ning Xin: "......"
He Dongfan turned around, pinching the leaves on his fingers: "The Coke over there is sold out." β
With that, he turned and continued walking.
Sheng Yu and Ning Xin glanced at each other, holding hands and following behind.
They tacitly slowed down and distanced themselves from He Dongfan.
Ning Xin suddenly pinched Sheng Yu's fingers and leaned into his ear, a little ashamed: "Will he see it?" β
She was referring to the fact that he kissed her.
Sheng Yu didn't care, and whispered: "If you see it, you can see it, can't he see it at his age?" β
Ning Xin: "......" too.
He Dongfan bought Coke at a newsstand not far from the mouth of the alley.
Leaning sideways against the glass case, he pulled open the can and took two sips with his head up.
The Coke was icy, and he smacked his lips in pleasure.
When the two approached, he asked, "Do you drink?" β
Ning Xin shook her head.
Sheng Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, no." β
He Dongfan didn't say anything, turned around to pay, and walked back with a can of Coke.
He walked to the mouth of the alley, tilted his head sideways and drank Coke, but his eyes looked at him obliquely.
Sheng Yu and Ning Xin held hands, their steps were very slow and leisurely, and their shadows were stretched very long by the evening sunset.
On the way home, Sheng Yu told Ning Xin good news.
Next month, he will officially become a regular, and the corresponding salary will rise sharply, so he proposed to let Ning Xin change to a place with better conditions.
Before, it was too difficult for them to have a choice, but now, he didn't want her to continue living there.
Ning Xin agreed, and went to find a new place to live during the summer vacation.
Ning Xin also told Sheng Yu the good news that her mother's condition had improved significantly.
When she got home, Ning Xin put down her schoolbag, Sheng Yu put her duffel bag here temporarily, and they went to Sheng Yu's school together.
It's been three years, and Ning Xin rarely comes over.
In the future, there shouldn't be much of a chance.
Sheng Yu took Ning Xin to the school cafeteria.
It was a very rich meal, because the purpose was to wipe all the money in the meal card.
After eating, Sheng Yu took Ning Xin to buy roasted sweet potatoes.
Every time he brought Ning Xin a roasted sweet potato, he bought it from this place.
It was the first time that Ning Xin had eaten roasted sweet potatoes that had just been taken out of the oven, and they were sweeter and glutinous than before.
The corners of her mouth were stained with some black ash on the skin of the sweet potato, and she praised it from the bottom of her heart: "It's delicious." β
She handed Sheng Yu a bite and said, "The roasted sweet potato I bought at the entrance of the hospital last time was not delicious." β
Sheng Yu took a bite and took out a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth: "You think this house is delicious?" β
Ning Xin nodded: "Yes." β
"What then?" He put his hand on her shoulder and hugged her, deliberately, "I've graduated, and it's not good to come over in the future." β
Ning Xin twisted his shoulders and shook off his hand: "I can come by myself." β
Sheng Yu was amused by her, and put his hand on it again: "As long as you want to eat, I'll come over and buy it for you." β
"Really?" She looked at him with suspicion and pretended to tease him.
Sheng Yu gently pinched her shoulder: "What do you think?" β
Ning Xin smiled and nodded, very sure: "It's true." β
What Sheng Yu said was true, there was no doubt about it, Ning Xin was very convinced.
At the end of June, He Dongfan's final results came out, and he scored nearly 120 points in mathematics.
Ning Xin got this good news when he was giving him a make-up lesson.
didn't be happy for long, Aunt Qin came over and said that He Dongfan's father was here.
He Dongfan snorted lightly, threw the pen in his hand, and the uncle said, "Go." β
"Let's go?" Ning Xin squinted at He Dongfan, "What are you going?" β
"Show off your might."
Ning Xin retracted her gaze and buried her head in giving He Dongfan a key point: "I'm not going." β
"Why don't you go? He went up and said that you are not capable, and you are not going? β
Ning Xin didn't respond, and after waiting for a few seconds, He Dongfan didn't mean to go alone.
She smacked her lips: "I'm not going." β
He Dongfan got started directly, grabbed Ning Xin's wrist, and insisted: "Let's go together." β
Ning Xin twitched her hand, but she couldn't move.
She had to admit that He Dongfan's strength was really great.
He Dongfan found that Ning Xin couldn't break free of himself, and the corners of his mouth were stained with a smug smile.
But he didn't feel complacent for two seconds, only to see Ning Xin grab his free other hand with his wrist, press it down gently, and immediately break free with skill.
He Dongfan was accustomed to this, and he even felt that it was really surprising that Ning Xin couldn't break free.
He didn't force it anymore, his elbows folded on the desk, his head pressed up, and he looked at her: "Let's go, my dad should give you a bonus." β
Ning Xin's eyes widened slightly, and she blinked two seconds later.
She realized it later: "You negotiated the conditions for your father at that time, and said this?" β
He Dongfan closed his eyes: "Hmm." β
Ning Xin looked at He Dongfan very sincerely: "Thank you." β
He Dongfan was a little embarrassed and sat up straight: "Thank you for what?" You deserve it. β
Ning Xin also looked at He Dongfan.
He Dongfan stood up, and the second middle school patted his heart: "We are allies." β
He Dongfan's father was very happy about He Dongfan's performance improvement, gave Ning Xin a red envelope, and kept her for dinner, without mentioning the unpleasantness of the last time.
In fact, Ning Xin still doesn't understand why in the eyes of some parents, grades mean everything.
At the dinner table, He Dongfan's father drank some wine and began to arrange He Dongfan's studies again.
He said that He Dongfan's physics is okay, but biology and chemistry also need professional teachers to make up for it.
To Ning Xin's surprise, He Dongfan did not reject his arrangement.
He Dongfan: "Yes, the summer vacation can be arranged." β
He Dongfan's obedience made He Dongfan's father happy: "Okay, I will definitely find you the best teacher!" β
He Dongfan swallowed the food in his mouth: "By the way, on Saturdays and Sundays, Mr. Ning still makes up for mathematics." β
He Dongfan's father glanced at Ning Xin and nodded: "Yes." β
Seeing off He Dongfan's father that day, He Dongfan took Ning Xin to the backyard to pick peaches.
That was the last batch of peaches of the year.
He Dongfan stood on the tree, Ning Xin stood under the tree, and handed the basket to catch the peach from time to time.
He Dongfan: "Teacher Ning, do you have any other part-time jobs in addition to giving me make-up lessons during the summer vacation?" β
"Yes." Ning Xin said, "I work part-time at a kickboxing club. β
He Dongfan paused, hooked his arms to the branches, leaned out a little, and his side face was stiff: "You are going to the competition?" β
"It's not." Ning Xin smiled, "It's just miscellaneous." β
He Dongfan nodded and continued to pick peaches: "What about Brother Sheng Yu?" β
"Go to work."
There was silence for a while, and the leaves were rustling.
He Dongfan: "You... When did you meet? β
"High school."
"Puppy love?"
Ning Xin solemnly denied: "No! β
She looked up at the back in the branch and explained, "He is a grade older than me, and we only got together after the college entrance examination." β
"Isn't that puppy love!" He Dongfan stretched out his hand and twisted a peach, and retorted eloquently, "It's just that the relationship is determined after the college entrance examination." β
Ning Xin choked, rolled her eyes, and teased him: "He Dongfan, are you going to fall in love?" β
The peach in He Dongfan's hand fell into the grass.
Then, the branches swayed.
He jumped down, and the whole black shadow came together, very excited: "What nonsense!" β
Ning Xin was amused by his shy reaction: "Okay, just kidding, you continue to pick peaches." β
He Dongfan clapped his hands and patted his shoulders again: "It's gone!" β
Ning Xin: "......"
