Because he said it hurts, Cen Ning's subordinates became lighter. She carefully pressed the egg against the side of his face, with a concentrated expression as if she was treating a piece of fine jade.
"There's another one inside. Wait, I'll get it." The egg was a little cold, and Cen Ning turned back into the room, walking hurriedly.
Looking at her back in words and deeds, he slowly straightened his body. For a moment the empty winter nights seemed less unbearable to him.
"Okay." The little girl came out again, and she looked up at her, her concerned eyes were clear and clear, and there was no trace of hypocrisy.
Children are usually not deceitful, they think what they say and do.
"You, bend over." Cen Ning tugged at the hem of his clothes.
With a rare smile, he reached out and touched her head: "Go in, it's cold outside."
After all, he missed her and entered the house.
Cen Ning stood there blankly, his hand holding the egg slightly tightened, this was the first time she saw him smile in so many days.
She didn't know that it turned out that whether a person smiled or not smiled could stir up such a big wave in her heart.
After entering the room, Yan Xingzhi took Cen Ning's eggs and massaged himself.
"Here, Aunt Chen asked me to bring you something to eat."
In words and deeds: "Thank you."
"Then eat quickly." Cen Ning stood by the side with some embarrassment, "I, I'm leaving first."
"Wait." Words and deeds suddenly stopped her.
Cen Ning turned around: "Huh?"
"I've been so busy during this time that I forgot, I haven't asked you how you did in the final exam."
He still remembers.
While Cen Ning was overjoyed, he was also nervous: "I, I passed the class 19."
Words and deeds glanced at her unexpectedly. If I remember correctly, she was the last one before, so it's quite impressive to catch up so quickly.
"You've made great progress. It seems you've worked really hard."
He didn't know how such a simple sentence warmed the girl's disappointed mood. For Yan Zhizhi himself, a class of ten or ten is really not a good grade. And he seldom praises others. If it weren't for the two eggs tonight, maybe he wouldn't be in the mood to talk about them.
But Cen Ning looked at him with piercing eyes, as if reining in the horse's reins on the edge of an empty cliff, his heart that had been lost for so many days was suddenly comforted, and his eyes were almost red.
"I, will be better."
His words and deeds didn't notice the almost obsessive gaze of the little girl standing in front of him, he lowered his eyes and said softly: "Come on."
"Um!"
Cen Ning happily walked out of his room. When she went downstairs, she saw the pendulum on the wall pointing to twelve o'clock. Startled, she turned her head and ran upstairs without hesitation.
This time she broke into Yan Xingzhi's room without even knocking on the door, and Yan Xingzhi was about to get up to change clothes, when she heard the sound and looked at her who had gone and returned, "What's wrong?"
"Happy New Year!"
He froze for a moment between his words and deeds, and at this moment, the phone he placed beside him started beeping, and there were text messages of New Year's greetings from all directions, and the New Year's greetings were only a second slower than Cen Ning's.
Cen Ning panted slightly: "... I'm leaving."
Walking out of the room again, the moment the door was closed, she heard a slightly smiling voice from the person in the room: "Cen Ning, Happy New Year."
**
Words and deeds and Xu Nanru haven't spoken since that fight, but the two are also extremely calm, obviously under the same roof, they didn't even look at each other.
After school started, Xu Nanru returned to school, and the Yan family returned to their former peace.
At the beginning of the new semester, Cen Ning worked hard as always, and listened carefully to every class. After returning home, besides studying, he also practiced his oral English. She worked very hard to climb up and improve herself.
During this whole semester, Cen Ning and Yan Xingzhi have also gotten closer. Yan Xingzhi is going to be admitted to the military academy, so besides his studies, he trains with the army outside every day. Cen Ning would ask him about his studies when he was free, and when he was not free, she would also go to the sidelines of the training ground, reading a book and paying attention to every move of the phalanx.
The world she imagined is huge, and she wants to see many, many places; but within an inch, her world is also very small, and in her eyes, only words and deeds can fit.
She has been cold for too long, so when she finally gets a little warmth, she will try her best to keep this warmth.
But there are some things that she can't keep, and some people are destined to go far.
…
Later, the college entrance examination passed, and many people were waiting for the scores and results.
Originally, Yan's family should be tense, but the atmosphere is full of joy, not for anything else, just because of their words and deeds, they have been admitted to the military academy in advance, and they have passed the medical examination and interview.
For a student who no longer has to worry about grades, this period of time should be happier. But his words and deeds were as indifferent as ever, as if this was nothing more than a trivial matter.
Cen Ning thought, this is probably a truly powerful person, because everything is under his own plan and control, so he will not make any disturbances to everything that happens.
That year, the summer vacation was not over.
At that time, it was very popular to make up classes in schools, so the prospective second-year students returned to school half a month early. Everyone sighed, but to Cen Ning, there was no difference.
This day was an ordinary afternoon for Cen Ning.
"Hello." Song Ci came back from playing ball outside, holding mineral water in one hand and strawberry milk in the other. He threw the milk on Cen Ning's table.
Cen Ning was writing a topic, and raised his eyes: "What are you doing?"
Song Ci wiped off his sweat, and said casually, "There's an extra bottle of milk, I'll drink it for you."
Cen Ning: "Why are you buying more?"
"That's right, it's not buying more." Song Ci sat down next to her, thought for a while, "buy one get one free at the canteen, I just gave Xiaopang a drink and he said no."
As he said that, he observed Cen Ning for a while: "Hey, you can drink it if I give it to you. Let me tell you, drinking more milk can help you grow taller."
Cen Ning pursed his lips and smiled restrainedly: "Thank you."
"You're being polite, you're at the same table, they all have revolutionary friendship." Song Ci broke open the milk straw, poked it into the mouth and handed it to her, "Drink it."
Cen Ning put down his pen, and when Zhang Ziyi, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly jumped up from his chair when he was about to take Song Ci's milk, Cen Ning was startled by her, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Ziyi turned around with a panicked expression: "Damn! Cen Ning!"
Cen Ning: "... huh?"
"He's leaving, he's leaving so soon, isn't there half a month left!"
Cen Ning froze for a moment: "What?"
"Tang Zheng, he actually told me that he's leaving later." Zhang Ziyi handed her the mobile phone she hid in the drawer in front of her, and Cen Ning felt a thump in his heart after taking a look at it.
Tang Zheng and Yan Xingzhi passed the exam at the same place, if he was leaving, wouldn't that mean that Yan Xingzhi would also leave, he clearly said that he would stay at home for a while.
"Hey Cen Ning!" Zhang Ziyi looked at Cen Ning who suddenly got up and ran out of the classroom, but didn't realize it, "I haven't finished talking yet, where are you going?"
"I'll go find him."
"ah?"
Song Ci still maintained the posture of holding the milk: "Hey - I won't drink it now."
On the spacious road, a taxi is running.
Panting heavily, Zhang Ziyi patted Cen Ning who was sitting beside her: "I, I said, why are you running so fast, I almost missed you."
Cen Ning didn't answer, she stared at the front tightly, her hands clenched into balls.
Zhang Ziyi was silent: "Hey, can we run back and meet them now?"
"Yes." Cen Ning lowered his eyes, and repeated as if comforting himself, "Yes."
Zhang Ziyi lowered her head a little dejectedly: "Tang Zheng said that he won't have time to go home after entering the school, heck - if so, it would be great for them to go to a normal school like Xin Zechuan, at least they can see each other often, don't you think so?" .”
"Um… "
That was the path he had decided long ago, and he would not change it.
It's just that she's not ready, really not ready.
The car stopped at the gate of the compound. Cen Ning and Zhang Ziyi got out of the car and ran forward, crossing the boulevard and the training ground...
A car passes by.
Cen Ning stopped abruptly, turned around and looked at the familiar car.
"Ning Ning?" Zhang Ziyi stopped suspiciously, then followed her gaze to the car that was slowly stopping not far away, "That's..."
"It's him." Cen Ning's heart was pounding, and she walked there. She walked faster and faster, but stopped when the car door opened. She looked at the open car door, at the people coming out of it.
Her vision was a little blurry, she blinked to force the moisture out of her eyes, allowing herself to see that person clearly again. He was still the same, his brows were light and sharp.
At this time, he stood tall and tall by the door, and said with a little surprise: "I almost thought I was wrong. Aren't you in class? Why are you here?"
"We skipped class." Zhang Ziyi didn't look at the sudden frowning of his words and deeds, and asked, "Where's Tang Zheng?"
In words and deeds: "I don't know, maybe I'm leaving."
"What?!" Zhang Ziyi turned around and ran away, "I'll go to his house to see."
Zhang Ziyi left, and there were only the two of them left outside the car. He looked at Cen Ning again in words and deeds, and said dissatisfiedly, "Are you guys getting bolder? You're still skipping class."
For the first time, Cen Ning didn't answer his question, but stepped forward and asked, "Are you leaving?"
"Temporary notice."
"Then, when will you be back?"
Words and deeds: "I don't know, I probably won't be back for a long time."
In the scorching sun, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Cen Ning's forehead, and his "long time" exploded in her ears like a deadly ammunition. She told herself to calm down, after all, she knew this a long time ago, but on the other hand, she I couldn't calm down, so I could only stand at a loss, letting my face turn pale.
"Don't skip class next time." Words and deeds frowned, "Is it hot? Go back."
He didn't understand her panic, let alone her reluctance. In his eyes, she was just a pretty well-behaved little sister living in his house. Cen Ning lowered his head and said slowly, "I heard that you are leaving suddenly, so I just wanted to see you off."
He was stunned by his words and deeds, and then smiled: "This can't be a reason, but Cen Ning, let's not be an example."
"Um… "
Walked forward in words and deeds: "I will not be here in the future, if you have any questions that you don't understand, you should ask the teacher."
He still misses her.
"good."
"When you are bullied, remember to say something, and tell your family if you have something to say."
When he is not around, will those people bully her
"good."
"Be smarter, you are really easy to be deceived like this."
Why is he always so kind to her.
"besides-"
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly hugged by his words and deeds. The hug was very tight, two thin small wrists were wrapped around his waist, it almost felt like parting from life and death.
The words and deeds were so rare that I was stunned for a while, and what to do next became blank.
Slowly lowering his eyes, he looked at the little girl who was much shorter than him.
He has always been cold, but this time his inhumane nerves have softened a bit. After hesitating in words and deeds, he stretched out his hand and patted Cen Ning's back, "What, are you scared?"
Cen Ning came back to her senses, she was so frightened to hug him so recklessly, but she was not willing to let go, so she whispered in the embarrassment of letting go and not letting go, "I'm not afraid, I'm not a little girl child."
Smiling in words and deeds, he coaxed: "Yes, you are not a child anymore."
…
The girl at the age of cardamom and the boy who just came of age, they were both very young that year.
"Brother Xingzhi, then, goodbye."
"goodbye."
Family affection, love, friendship... A goodbye does not mean parting.
So, don't worry about everything. Feelings will always follow you like a shadow, and it will break out of the cocoon at the moment you are unprepared.
