So, Zhao Binlin turned around and looked at Feng Ning again.
Before he could speak, Feng Ning followed suit, "Sit down and talk. Everyone is looking at you."
Jiang Wen continued to feed her porridge naturally. Feng Ning took the spoon and said, "I'll eat it myself."
Xi Gaoyuan finally reacted and sat down opposite them. "How long has it been?"
"It's a long story."
The others were still standing at the door looking in. Zhao Binlin winked over there, and a few people started shouting and joking, pushing and shoving each other to sit down next door.
"Fuck, are you guys serious?"
Jiang asked: "What else?"
"Hey, why do I still feel a little unreal?" Xi Gaoyuan made a sad face, "How come my son, whom I have raised for more than ten years, suddenly became someone else's dog?"
This feeling of being teased by good friends was a little strange, but also a little satisfying. Jiang Wen raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Zhao Binlin said loudly: "Jiang Wen finally made it through, it was not in vain—"
Being glared at by An, he was stuck and almost let the cat out of the bag. He abruptly changed his words to, "Feng Ning, why don't you say anything?"
"My throat has been a little uncomfortable lately." She was not concentrating and didn't notice anything unusual. She pointed to her throat and said, "I'm sorry."
"How strange, could it be because of the relationship?"
Xi Gaoyuan moved closer and looked at her, "Why do I feel that Feng Ning has become much gentler now?"
Feng Ning smiled.
They didn't know what was going on at Feng Ning's house, so they spoke without restraint. Jiang Wen pointed to the side and said, "You two."
"Um?"
"past."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Can't we talk to my sister-in-law?"
Zhao Binlin gave him a look, "Sister-in-law, you finally gave our top girl a name. He has a fragile heart, and he is really heartbroken by you for the past two years."
Feng Ning looked tired, joined in their jokes, and said seriously, "Don't worry, I have 502 glue, I can glue it back together if it breaks."
Feng Ning had a poor appetite and was very tired. She drank the porridge only in small mouthfuls. She looked at the time, took off her coat and gave it to Jiang Wen, "Go back to the dormitory, change clothes, and go to class."
"I'll take a few days off to spend time with you."
Feng Ning pushed him and said, "I'll call you if I have something. Just study hard."
Jiang Wen glanced at her and said, "Your phone is on silent, so you can't answer my call."
"Okay." Feng Ning took out her cell phone and turned off the mute mode in front of him. "Is this okay?"
Jiang Wen was barely satisfied.
Zhao Binlin couldn't bear to see his current state, and whispered to Xi Gaoyuan, "You said Jiang Wen was late in getting wise, but when it comes to love, it's like an old house on fire. It's so wild and crackling."
"Yeah, it's quite a contrast." Xi Gaoyuan was also a little helpless, "You said that he is a person who usually treats others as a reward when he speaks a few more words to them. Who knows that he has another face behind his back, and he is a..."
He lowered his voice ambiguously, "Little clingy guy."
The clingy little Jiang Wen finally said goodbye to Feng Ning and left with Zhao Binlin and the others.
Feng Ning has never wasted any food since she was a child. Even though she has a poor appetite at the moment, she insists on drinking all the porridge.
Just as I was leaving the house, someone called me from behind, "—Feng Ning."
She turned her head.
Pei Shurou smiled calmly, "Can I talk to you?" *
They went to a small café next door. Pei Shurou was a regular customer here. She flipped through the menu and looked up and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"Just order your own. Give me a glass of warm water."
Pei Shurou: "You look depressed, shall I give you a cup of coffee?"
Feng Ning nodded, "All right."
"You don't have to go to class?"
"I have finished my art exam, so I have more free time for now."
Feng Ning said "oh" and took a sip of coffee. It was rich in aroma and bitter. It tasted good. She put down the cup and asked, "What did you want to talk to me about?"
Pei Shurou: "Chat with you."
"What do you want to talk about?" Feng Ning was too lazy to say anything extra, nor did he want to beat around the bush with her. "You want to talk to me about Jiang Wen?"
Pei Shurou asked calmly, "Are you going back to school this year?"
Feng Ning thought for a moment and said, "Well, I think so."
"...So you and Jiang Wen, you two are together now?"
"Yes."
This is the answer given by Feng Ning.
"Yeah, I can see that he likes you very much." Pei Shurou seemed to be lost in memory. "The first time I saw you was in the first year of high school. You and Jiang Wen were fighting over something in the classroom."
Feng Ning actually had no recollection of what she said, and said honestly, "Really? I don't quite remember."
"Jiang Wen has been special to you from the beginning. Now that you two are together, as a friend, I am happy for him."
Pei Shurou stirred the coffee gently with a small spoon and looked into her eyes. "I know that this may not be the right time, but in all aspects, you and Jiang Wen, the two of you, may not be suitable."
Feng Ning nodded indifferently, "You are right."
"... ..."
Feng Ning's expression was dull, "That's it, that's all?"
Pei Shurou frowned.
The coffee was no longer hot, so Feng Ning picked it up and drank it in one gulp. She wiped her mouth with a tissue, "Do you have anything else to do? No, I'm going home to sleep."
Slightly irritated by her attitude, Pei Shurou's expression changed a little, "I know a little bit about your family situation. You have been a single parent since childhood, and your mother passed away a few days ago, right?"
"Who told you that?" Feng Ning paused, then looked up at her, feeling both amused and confused, and asked in confusion, "You didn't ask someone to check on me, did you?"
Pei Shurou did not deny it.
Feng Ning shook his head slightly, simply thinking it was a little funny, "You think too highly of me."
Pei Shurou also sneered. The meaning of this kind of laughter is easy to distinguish, anyway, it is not kind. She spoke with a sense of superiority as usual, "I am not looking down on you, but Jiang Wen is not the same kind of person as you. Jiang Wen was born in the sunshine, and his future was paved by his family. Feng Ning, don't drag him into your darkness, and don't be a stumbling block for him."
Feng Ning was disgusted by this kind of plot and sneered, "First of all, I am a human being, not a stone. Secondly, does Jiang Wen need photosynthesis? He needs sunlight so much that he cannot live without it?"
"Do you always feel so at ease when you're dragging someone down?" Pei Shurou was mocked by her, but she didn't get annoyed. "It seems you don't know that Jiang Wen plans to repeat the grade?"
There was a silence of about several dozen seconds, and Feng Ning said, "I really don't know."
"You know now."
Feng Ning nodded, thought for a few seconds, and remained calm, "Yes, I understand. Then, what do you want me to do? You want me to break up with him and not hinder his bright future. Is that right?"
"yes."
"What is your relationship with Jiang Wen? Do you like him?"
"I'm his friend." Pei Shurou paused and emphasized, "We're good friends who grew up together."
"Ok, you are his friend, then may I ask, what is the relationship between you and me?"
Pei Shurou was stunned for a moment.
"Do I know you?"
Feng Ning looked at her clearly, "Since you are just his friend, what qualifications do you have to meddle in my affairs? You don't want him to repeat a grade, you want to save him, you want him to turn back from his wrong path, then you should go directly to him, why are you looking for me?"
"... ..."
Pei Shurou was speechless because of her.
"But since you came to see me, I'll give you a few words."
Feng Ning stood up, moved closer to her, and raised a finger, "First, it's none of your business."
Then, he put up the second one, "Second, take care of yourself."
After saying that, Feng Ning picked up his things swiftly and stood up.
She went to the front desk to pay the bill. She took the bill, glanced at it, left the money for her cup of coffee, and left.
Feng Ning planned to go back to school in September and start her senior year. She found a part-time job during the day and at night. One reason was that Qi Lan owed some money due to illness, and she wanted to pay it back as soon as possible. The other reason was that she didn't want to stop. As long as she was busy, she wouldn't have the time to think about other things. Anyway, the pain will gradually become numb as time goes by, and you will get used to it.
There were a lot of people at Jiantang on Saturday night. Feng Ning's cell phone was placed next to her, and it rang several times but she didn't answer it. She took advantage of the busy time to go to a quieter place and called Jiang Wen back.
His voice sounded a little depressed, "I went to your house, but I didn't see you."
Kai Tak High School seniors only have one day off, Sunday, and most students only go home once a month, so the school does not impose curfew on Saturday nights.
Feng Ning said: "I'm at work."
"Aren't you going to rest at home?"
"I've had enough rest. If I don't go out to work, am I just going to lie at home and wait for death every day?"
Jiang Wen was silent for a moment and said, "You can wait for me."
Feng Ning was amused by him, "Who did you learn this from? You can even tell jokes now."
"Is it the same bar as before? When do you get off work? I'll come find you."
"Don't look for it anymore, just go back to school."
Someone called out to Feng Ning loudly. She held the phone a little further away. "What's going on?"
"There are several people waiting to pay at the front desk."
"Okay, got it." Feng Ning hurriedly said goodbye to Jiang Wen: "That's it, I'm busy now, let's talk tomorrow if you have anything."
By two o'clock, there were fewer customers in the bar. Tongtong had some free time, so she ran to Fengning and said mysteriously, "There's someone sitting outside for a long time. I don't know who he's waiting for."
"Just sit down, it's nothing special." Feng Ning was wiping the cup, "There is just one more sad person in this city."
Tongtong gestured anxiously, "No, he looks like a high school student, very handsome. Xiaoxi and I have sneaked over to peek at him many times. We asked him what he was doing, and he said he was waiting for someone."
Feng Ning raised her eyes and paused in wiping the cup. She put the things aside and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
This long street is full of bars, and it is bustling with people at night. The colorful lights on the signs outside are all warm-colored. It is already very late, but it doesn't seem deserted.
Feng Ning walked over step by step and stood in front of him, "Hey, handsome guy."
Jiang Wen was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt and staring at the wooden table in front of him without moving his eyes to look at her.
Feng Ning reached out and lifted his chin with one finger, "You have a bad temper. Are you ignoring me?"
Jiang Wen was forced to raise his chin and look back at her.
They stared at each other for a few seconds.
Feng Ning smiled and said lightly, "Why are you sitting here without saying anything? Are you waiting for me to get off work?"
Jiang Wen still didn't say anything.
Feng Ning hooked his chin and shook it twice, "Are you mute?"
Jiang Wen lowered his head slightly, snorted, and bit her finger.
Feng Ning's fingertips were wet, and Jiang Wen's tongue was soft. She wanted to pull her hand back, but he didn't let go.
“My hands are so dirty.”
His eyelashes drooped slightly.
Feng Ning had no choice but to pinch his chin with his other hand, "Okay, are you a dog? You're still biting people, stop biting."
After hesitating for a while, Jiang Wen finally gave in, still angry, "You didn't tell me anything."
"Why, you came all the way here to quarrel with me?" Feng Ning ruffled his hair. "Wait a minute, I'll go talk to the boss and then come over to accompany you."
Feng Ning took off his bib as he walked.
A few people had already gathered at Jiantang's door to watch the show. Tongtong said enviously, "Fuck, Ningzi, it turns out that handsome guy is waiting for you?"
Feng Ning looked at their excited expressions and found them a little amusing. She put the clothes aside and said, "He's my friend. I'm going to talk to him about something. If you're busy, come find me."
"Go away, what else can you do right now? The most important thing is to date a handsome guy."
"Okay." Feng Ning was about to leave when Tongtong pulled him back. "Hey, hey, hey, by the way, what is your relationship with this handsome guy?"
"It's... the kind of relationship you think of."
Feng Ning brought out a glass of sparkling cocktail and sat down next to him.
Jiang Wen: "I don't drink."
"I made it myself, it's not alcoholic, please try it, young master."
It was a rare occasion for her to show her courtesy, so Jiang Wen reluctantly picked up the drink and took a sip.
“How does it taste?”
"It's okay." Jiang Wen put down the cup.
Feng Ning thought, this hair is finally smooth. Who knows that the relief lasts only two seconds, and he starts to settle the score: "If I hadn't called you, how long were you going to keep it a secret from me?"
Feng Ning smiled awkwardly: "How could I hide it from you? I told you as soon as you called me, didn't I?"
"Then why can't you just tell me first?"
She admitted her mistake: "Okay, I wasn't aware enough."
Jiang Wen was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger. He was silent for a long time before saying, "If you are short of money, I can help you apply for a scholarship."
Feng Ning had a dull expression and didn't react much, "Why, are you still planning to ask your family to help me find connections?"
Jiang Wen saw through her joking and said, "I'm serious."
Feng Ning held up her chin and looked at him, "That's great, let's talk."
"What?"
"A friend of yours came to me a few days ago and she said you were planning to repeat a grade?"
Jiang Wen's face changed slightly, and he didn't answer her immediately. After thinking for a while, he said, "Who told you that?"
Feng Ning stood up and said in surprise: "You actually have this plan?"
Jiang Wen said nothing.
Feng Ning stretched out his hand, held his head and shook it back and forth.
He backed away, "What are you doing?"
Feng Ning gritted his teeth and said, "I'll shake your brain to see if there's any water."
Jiang Wen didn't want to joke with her: "Do you want to stay in Nancheng alone?"
"What can't a person do?" Feng Ning said seriously, "Don't do this kind of thing for me. You have things you should do. Don't act on impulse. Wait until after the college entrance examination before doing anything."
He acted nonchalant, "Even if I repeat the year, so what? I can get into the same university next year as I can this year."
"So what's the point of you doing this?"
He blurted out: "With you."
"I told you, I don't need it." She sighed, looked at Ding Jiang calmly and asked, "I don't want you to be like this. I'm telling you very seriously that I don't need anyone to accompany me. Don't act on impulse, and if there is something similar in the future, you must discuss it with me in advance. If there is a next time, I will be really angry."
Their relationship was unequal from the beginning. He liked her, but she didn't like him. Jiang Wen had been teased by her so many times that he always had a fragile nerve that was pinched by her. As long as Feng Ning said something harsh, his mood would immediately change.
Jiang Wen's breathing gradually became heavier, as if he was suppressing something, "So you just think that I haven't grown up, I'm not mature, and I don't have any pursuits, right?"
Feng Ning controlled his temper and comforted him: "I don't think so. I just want to talk to you about this matter. I don't want to quarrel. Calm down."
"Aren't you worried that I'll forget you when I go to college?" There was a hint of annoyance in his voice.
Feng Ning pretended to be melancholy, "I will try my best to overcome it."
"I know you won't worry." Jiang Wen said in a self-deprecating tone, "But I will worry. I don't want a long-distance relationship. I'm afraid you'll forget me. Is that okay?"
Feng Ning: “?”
"You make me feel very insecure."
"... ..."
Feng Ning exhaled lightly, weakly, "Then what do you want me to do so that you can feel safe?"
"I don't know, just think of me as being willful."
"You can't skip the college entrance exam even if you are willful. How old are you and still want to be rebellious?"
Jiang Wen didn't answer.
Feng Ning seemed to be thinking for a while. Suddenly, she moved.
Jiang Wen saw her approaching and subconsciously turned his head.
Feng Ning supported his body with his hands on his sides, raised his face slightly, and squinted his eyes as he looked at Jiang Wen.
He pretended to be calm, his eyes wandering.
The blue light reflected on his face. His eyes were eyes, his nose was nose, his lips were thin, and every part of his face was delicate and charming.
Just looking at this face can quench the rage.
His lips suddenly felt hot, and Feng Ning kissed the corner of his lips.
Jiang Wen's expression was slightly stunned, and he was still angry.
She kissed him and he hid.
After a few times, he pinched her chin with his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing, are you being a hooligan?"
Feng Ning's eyes were slightly curved, and he deliberately said, "Kiss you, why, don't you want to?"
"Forget it." She was just about to straighten her back, and almost the next second, Jiang Wen kissed her back.
The wet, hot and soft tip of the tongue pushed open her lips and slid between her teeth.
He closed his eyes, his long black eyelashes trembled rapidly, and even his breathing was a little hurried. Feng Ning kept his eyes open, staring at him.
She suddenly laughed.
Jiang Wen stopped what he was doing and opened his eyes in annoyance. His dark eyes were covered with a layer of water. "What are you laughing at?"
"Study hard, okay? Don't let me worry."
Feng Ning took the initiative to move closer, climbed on Jiang Wen's shoulders, and wrapped his arms around his neck, "Did you hear that?"
He turned his face away, "No."
Feng Ning kissed his earlobe, "How about this?"
"No."
The kiss dropped to his chin, "Like this?"
"No."
A kiss landed on his eyelids, "Like this?"
"No."
Kissing the side of his neck, "Like this?"
"Feng Ning." He grabbed her hand.
She still smiled: "What?"
Jiang Wen lowered his head, imitating her just now, and put the tip of his lips to her ear, "If you kiss me again, I might not be able to control myself and do something to you."
