When the crowd dispersed, Ponytail and Big Eyes smiled at Wen Liang at the same time, and they were very determined not to be a light bulb. They ran away hand in hand. Wen Liang walked up to Xu Yao, handed over the ticket, and said pitifully: "The country's railway system is really too backward. It took three days and three nights to get from Beijing to Qingzhou. You don't know the smell on the train. If I wasn't in good physical condition, I might have died of suffocation before I got to the destination. Please comfort me..."
Xu Yao looked at the ticket, and a gloom flashed in her eyes. She wanted to go very much in her heart, but she had an exam today, and the concert started at 8 pm. If she left after school, she would not be able to make it to Wuzhou. She was so regretful that she could not go to the scene to listen to Jacky Cheung's singing, but she did not want to let her emotions affect Wen Liang, so she squinted at Wen Liang and said, "Are you willing to come back? I don't understand, is Beijing so fun?"
Wen Liang said with a bitter face: "It's not fun, not fun at all. I sleep later than a dog, wake up earlier than a chicken, and eat worse than a pig. Compared with Qingzhou, it's simply hell on earth."
Xu Yao burst out laughing and said, "Well, you have ruined the great capital like this, it shows that you have a very bad conscience..."
At this time, the bell rang, it was already 8:45, and the examination rooms began to distribute the papers. Xu Yao cried out, turned around and went downstairs, and did not forget to turn back and remind Wen Liang, "I'm going to take the exam first, you won't leave when you come back, right? Let's go to the cafeteria at noon, don't think I'll let you go easily just because you gave me a ticket."
Wen Liang looked at her from behind. He took in the girl's momentary sadness. His mind raced as he shouted, "Wait..."
Xu Yao staggered a step, turned back in astonishment, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"What day is it today?"
"Thirty!"
Wen Liang pointed to the concert ticket in her pocket and said, "So you still have the mind to take the exam?"
"Oh, you're talking about this," Xu Yao sighed and said depressedly, "It's just a bad coincidence, but there's nothing I can do about it. Can I skip the exam and go to the concert?"
Wen Liang smiled and said, "Why not?"
Why not
Xu Yao was a good student in the traditional sense. She had never done anything like taking leave as a way to eat because today was her grandfather's birthday, tomorrow was her grandmother's birthday, and the day after tomorrow was her uncle's wedding. After hearing Wen Liang's words, her big eyes blinked and she was dazed for a few seconds.
"Can... can I?"
"Of course!" Wen Liang leaned over and whispered, "There are four or five monthly exams in a semester. This is especially true since it's the first monthly exam of the semester. The content of the exam is just the knowledge learned in this month. It's superficial, boring, and unnecessary. But what about Jacky Cheung? How many years does he hold a concert?"
Xu Yao's face suddenly lit up, her heart pounding, but her long-standing life as a good student made her hesitate a little, and she said, "Isn't this bad?"
Wen Liang held up two fingers and said, "This is an exam, and this is a concert. If you were asked to choose without any other concerns, which one would you choose? Give me an answer right away!"
Xu Yao blurted out, "Concert!"
Wen Liang snapped his fingers and chuckled, "OK, you go take the test first, and I'll take care of the rest!"
…
From time to time, the sound of pen tips scratching across paper could be heard in the examination room. For the first time, Xu Yao's mind was distracted during the exam. Occasionally, she would hold her chin with her hand and look out the window stupidly. Even the invigilator who recognized her couldn't help but come over and kindly knocked on the table to remind her to answer the questions quickly.
The girl's thoughts changed back and forth countless times in just two and a half hours. Sometimes she was nodding, sometimes she was secretly happy, and sometimes she was irritated. When the bell for handing in the paper rang, she finally made up her mind.
Walking out of the classroom, Ponytail suddenly pointed downstairs and said, "Look, Wen Liang is there."
Xu Yao leaned her head out and saw Wen Liang standing under the Albizia albizzia tree through the railings. The young man in blue clothes stood there gracefully, as calm as the morning sun and as still as water.
This was the boy she liked, who could meet any of her requirements, tolerate any of her temper, and travel thousands of miles from Beijing to fulfill a promise. She knew that he had countless things to do there, and any of them was more important than a little girl's expectation of her idol, but he still came back, put down everything, and appeared in front of her on this day.
No one knew how touched and happy Xu Yao was in her heart at that moment!
Wen Liang suddenly raised his head and looked over as if he had telepathic communication with her. Their eyes met and they smiled at the same time.
This smile brightens up the entire youth!
"I've already informed Hua Xique and sent the note to your class teacher for approval. Don't worry, it's only two days, it's not out of the ordinary!"
Wen Liang blocked Xu Yao's way out before she could say anything. Xu Yao was not someone who couldn't let go. Since the leave application had been approved, what else could she say? She had made up her mind to go anyway. However, she was still a little surprised to hear that she had requested two days of leave. She asked, "Two days?"
Wen Liang smiled and said, "Miss, of course it will take two days. Wuzhou is so far from Qingzhou. We can't watch the concert and then rush back overnight, right? Of course, if the driver works hard, we can rush overnight, but Wujiang County is holding a tea culture tourism festival, and there will be a closing ceremony tomorrow. Anyway, it's only a few hours away from Wuzhou City. Since we are going there, why not join in the fun?"
People are like this. After overcoming one obstacle, it is much easier to climb another mountain. Xu Yao clapped her hands and said, "I'll listen to you! But I have to say hello to my dad. What should I say? Just say I'm going to stay at Xiao Ning's house for two days..."
The two found Ning Xiaoning in the cafeteria. After listening to Xu Yao chattering about her escape plan, Ning Xiaoning said nothing and stared coldly at Wen Liang. Wen Liang felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, and smiled apologetically: "Coach, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Don't look at me like that, okay? I'm a little nervous..."
"If you're not a thief, why are you so nervous!" Ning Xiaoning choked him and stabbed the chopsticks in her hand into the rice. After a moment of silence, she said, "I can tell from the looks of it that you're not a good person. I'll go too!"
Wen Liang was speechless. What kind of logic is this? He knew I was not a good person, but he still followed me? Is it true that releasing one sheep is not releasing two sheep
Xu Yao grabbed Ning Xiaoning's hand, surprised and happy, and said: "Really? I wanted to drag you along just now, but I was afraid of delaying your exam. I was determined to meet Jacky Cheung, and you are not a Jacky Cheung fan, so there is no need to take this risk for the concert..."
Although Ning Xiaoning was also a good student and never came late, left early or skipped classes, she was different from Xu Yao. The reason she didn't do that was because there was no need to do so. For her, playing outside was actually no different from attending classes at school. She said lightly, "It's just a monthly exam, not the college entrance examination!" She paused, as if giving others and herself a reason, "I'm worried about you two going so far. If the three of you go together, at least you can take care of each other. Even if someone gossips about you in the future, you'll have a reason to refute it!"
A man and a woman traveling together for two days and two nights, if someone deliberately spreads some rumors, it is indeed impossible to defend themselves. At least it is not so glaring to have a third party. However, the world of two people suddenly became a world of three people. Wen Liang could only sigh that the plan could not keep up with the changes. His clear eyes swept across Ning Xiaoning's face and smiled: "The coach is right, then let's go together, I will go to find Hua Xi Que..."
Ning Xiaoning's body trembled slightly when he looked at her. The shyness in her eyes flashed away, but her voice became a little colder. She said, "I will handle my own affairs. You don't have to worry about it. When are we leaving?"
Wen Liang looked at his watch and said, "The car is waiting outside. If you are not too long, we can leave in twenty minutes."
Ning Xiaoning stood up and walked out without saying anything, saying, "I'm going to ask my class teacher for leave. See you at the school gate in twenty minutes!"
After Ning Xiaoning left, Xu Yao suddenly fell into deep thought. Wen Liang waved his hand in front of her, but there was no reaction. He asked curiously, "You were so happy just now, what happened now? Don't worry, it's just this once. Breaking the rules occasionally can soothe your nerves. It's good for you!"
Xu Yao raised her head, her clear eyes without a speck of dust reflecting the purity of her age, and said, "Tell me, if the three of us go like this and leave Ji Su alone, will she be unhappy?"
Wen Liang never thought that she would give such an answer. After a while, he said, "How could that be? After all, you have an exam today and you are a die-hard fan. You can only choose one of the two. Xiao Ning doesn't care about the exam at all, and Ji Su has nothing to do with either, so he won't be unhappy about not being able to go to the concert. Don't think about these things. Hurry back to the dormitory and get ready. We will leave on time in 20 minutes!"
Xu Yao shook her head and whispered, "It's different..."
She didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but how could Wen Liang not understand what she meant? Although Ji Su was not a fan and she also cared about the exam, but compared to a certain person, these two things could not be the factors that influenced her decision at all!
Wen Liang said helplessly: "Xu Yao, you are you and she is she. You don't have to always consider what others think. As long as you feel happy, that's all!"
Xu Yaoteng stood up and said, "You go to the door and wait for a while, I'll be back soon!"
Wen Liang sighed and said, "If you must go, I'll go with you!"
When she found Ji Su, she and Meng Ke were queuing up to buy food at window number 8. When she saw Wen Liang, she almost knocked over the fast food cup. When Xu Yao pulled her aside to whisper something, Ji Su's eyes had already betrayed her inner thoughts, but she still hesitated for a moment and looked at Wen Liang.
Wen Liang smiled and said, "I heard that Wuzhou is very beautiful in this season. If you are brave enough, why not go and see it together."
Ji Su smiled and said, "Don't provoke me. If you do, I won't even dare to ask for leave!"
Wen Liang laughed, looking at the two beauties in front of him, and the following poem came to his mind:
The lotus is like a face, the green lotus is like a promise, what a night it is, the flowers are in full bloom! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation.) (To be continued)
