The bell for the end of get out of class rang throughout the entire campus. For the sophomores and juniors in high school, this bell represented just an ordinary break between classes and did not cause any waves for them.
However, in the eyes of the first-year high school students, it sounded like the sound of a god, because it was the bell for the end of the second class on Friday afternoon.
The weekend is here.
The students all went out, causing the tables and chairs to collide, and the mixed voices filled the classroom.
"Xia Xia, are you going out to play tomorrow?" Chen Siyu asked. The midterm exam had just ended and she could finally relax. This weekend would be a great one.
Bai Yuxia tied up her schoolbag, which contained several test papers. She pursed her lips and said, "Let's go to Nanshi to buy clothes and shoes tomorrow."
Chen Siyu thought for a moment and said, "Yourself?"
"With my aunt, do you want to join me?"
Nanshi is very close to Yuzhou. Bai Yuxia’s home is near Xuehua Lake and not far from the high-speed rail station. If you take the high-speed rail, it only takes 40 minutes to reach Nanshi.
Chen Siyu: "I'll ask my sister and give you an answer tonight."
"Okay, if we come together, I can also ask you to help me look at my shoes." Bai Yuxia welcomed them very much.
"I want to wear couple outfits with my sister." Chen Siyu said as they discussed the details of their trip to Nanshi.
Xue Yuantong was lying on the table, her white fingers pressing on the textbook. She turned to the title page of the book and held a mechanical pencil. Whenever she came across a Chinese character with a radical like "口", she would fill in the blank space in the middle with pencil until it was completely filled.
Every time she finished writing a line of words, her eyes would light up with innocence and she would feel a little bit of happiness.
It often takes a long time to paint the entire surface. She then uses an eraser to carefully wipe off the writing, and then repeats the painting tirelessly.
Since childhood, she has been like a lonely elf, carving time on paper bit by bit.
This kind of happiness, which did not require cooperation with anyone, was just right for her who had no friends at the time.
Later, when she was in junior high school, she did this kind of thing again, and some classmates said she was a weird person.
Xue Yuantong didn't want to be an outlier because he would be easily bullied.
She had no choice but to put down her pen and start to daydream.
After entering high school, the quality of the students around her improved a lot, and she was able to do the same thing again, and her happiness remained the same.
The conversation in the front row did not affect Xue Yuantong.
Suddenly, Chen Siyu turned around and asked, "Tongtong, shall we go to Nanshi together tomorrow? I remember you have never been to Nanshi, right?"
"Nanshi?" Xue Yuantong was stunned.
Due to its geographical location, many local people in Yuzhou like to visit Nanshi, but Xue Yuantong has never been there.
In the past, my mother was very busy at work, and going to Nanshi for a trip would cost a lot of money. Even if we took the train, the fare for two people would cost dozens of yuan. The fare alone was enough for my mother to buy several kilograms of meat.
During the most difficult period, her mother only earned a few hundred yuan a month, which was barely enough to maintain daily life and could not withstand any accidents.
When she heard the word Nanshi, her mind immediately recalled the prosperous scenes and various magnificent ancient buildings she had seen on TV.
"No, no, I can't do it." Xue Yuantong refused subconsciously.
Chen Siyu didn't force it: "Okay then."
"Tongtong, you can go and have fun in the future. Nanshi is very interesting and has many more attractions than our Yuzhou." Chen Siyu introduced. Through her usual contact with Xue Yuantong, she learned that her family conditions were not bad, her mother had a good job, and they could afford it.
Xue Yuantong said gloomily: "Let's wait until later."
Seeing her like this, Bai Yuxia nodded, "Jiang Ning, you can take her out to play and see the outside world. It's good to explore the world appropriately."
Jiang Ning said, "Let's talk about it during the summer vacation."
Most people in the classroom had left, and Chen Siqing entered Class 8's classroom.
Bai Yuxia took the initiative to say: "Siyu Siqing, my dad is here to pick me up, please take my car."
"How can I do that?" Chen Siqing refused.
"It's on the way anyway, just listen to me." Bai Yuxia said in a firm tone, and her beautiful face showed an expression that did not allow for doubt.
…
The setting sun shines on the earth, and the wide playground radiates little golden light, adding a bit of brilliance to it.
On the green grass in the center, a group of teenagers in sportswear were chasing a rolling football with vigorous steps. From time to time, someone kicked the football and the black and white football flew into the air.
On the basketball court next door, tall players were dribbling the ball, and from time to time a figure leaped up and the basketball was thrown into the basket.
Summer is here, and the trees on the edge of the playground are growing wildly. Under the shade of the leaves, students are sitting in groups of three or four to enjoy the cool air.
Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong were walking on the red oval plastic track, with people jogging past them from time to time.
Xue Yuantong ate too much at noon and planned to go to the city to eat later.
"Jiang Ning, are you really traveling during the summer vacation?" Xue Yuantong was a little overwhelmed. Although her family was rich, she was not used to such a sudden big move.
"Why, are you scared?"
Xue Yuantong was provoked and immediately threw away the hesitation in her heart. She pouted and held her composure: "Huh, am I afraid?"
"Okay, let's go." Jiang Ning was not worried anyway. If she backed down, he would just provoke her with a few words.
Xue Yuantong was excited for two minutes, then said, "Jiang Ning, how about we call Chuchu?"
Like her, Chuchu had never been out of Yuzhou. With Chuchu at the back and Jiang Ning blocking in front, she could safely stay in the middle.
You can attack or defend, and you feel very safe.
Thinking about the ancient city scenery of Nanshi again, Xue Yuantong seemed to have returned to the prosperity hundreds of years ago. She was a lady from an ancient family, enjoying herself in a sedan chair, with Jiang Ning and Chu Chu carrying the sedan chair for her one after the other.
Just thinking about it, Xue Yuantong was extremely happy.
She was proud and arrogant, she was laughing. She was tired of sitting in the sedan chair, so she opened the curtain and saw the look Jiang Ning gave her as if she was an idiot.
Xue Yuantong stopped smiling immediately. She frowned and said, "Jiang Ning, you are so rude!"
"Oh." Jiang Ning turned his chin towards her.
Xue Yuantong was about to be ignited.
…
At the entrance to the playground, Guo Kunnan looked out at the vast and smooth lawn, then at the sky and the soft white clouds. His heart, trapped in a dead end, then returned to the world.
Shan Kaiquan suddenly asked: "Brother Nan, are you still thinking about her?"
"I think about her and miss her every moment." Guo Kunnan was numb.
Shan Kaiquan took two steps forward, facing the sky and the ground, and he sighed: "If you can't hold the sand, you might as well throw it away."
"I heard that when sand gets wet, it will stick together and become holdable." Guo Kunnan was saved from a desperate situation.
Shan Kaiquan said: "But you have no water."
Guo Kunnan was unrepentant: "But I have tears."
Shan Kaiquan was silent, "How come Brother Nan is more awesome than me?"
He shouted at her, "Don't even think about it. She has deleted you. It's over for you two."
Guo Kunnan let out a long sigh, he stopped, his face changing constantly, the Dao Heart Wheel in his mind had already been shattered.
Is it over? Yes, it is over.
It's time to move on and not be stubborn anymore. Let Xu Yan sleep forever in his memory, just like Manman did back then.
Guo Kunnan waved towards the sky and said goodbye to his youth during that period.
As this belief passed through my body like an electric current, it seemed as if something was being pulled away, like a fish leaving the water or a bird leaving the sky.
The broken Dao Heart Wheel kept spinning and spinning, and his body became incomplete.
Guo Kunnan made a vow, his expression extremely firm: "Brother Quan, from now on, I will no longer love."
"It's better not to love."
"Yeah." Guo Kunnan sighed. He was still very tired.
Shan Kaiquan suggested: "Brother Nan, don't go home this afternoon. Let's go to the city to eat a barbecue buffet in the evening. It's 39 yuan per person. You can take whatever you want, seafood, beef, etc., and you can drink as much as you want."
"There's also RIO cocktails. You know RIO, right? The one we saw last time we went to the supermarket. It's colorful and costs almost 10 yuan a bottle. I made my money back after drinking a few bottles."
When you are in a bad mood, having a big meal can help heal the pain. He and Brother Nan are both wanderers in this world.
Guo Kunnan was tempted, but then he looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid I can't do that. I only have 30 yuan on me, and the remaining 10 yuan is for the trip home."
Shan Kaiquan counted the money in his trouser pocket and said generously: "Brother Nan, hi, I'll give you 20 more!"
Guo Kunnan was shocked. 20 yuan was not a small amount of money. It was enough for his daily living expenses.
"No, you don't have much money, let's just have something to eat tonight."
Shan Kaiquan put his arm around his shoulders and said, "We are close friends. You used to treat me to cakes all the time. Don't be polite to me."
With the comfort of his good brother, Guo Kunnan didn't feel so bad anymore, even though his Tao heart had not been restored.
He finally had the energy to observe the people on the playground. Suddenly, he saw two familiar figures. He pointed at them and said:
"Brother Quan, isn't that Jiang Ning in front?"
…
Jiang Ning was strolling with Xue Yuantong.
On the football field, students are engaged in a fierce football match.
Students can often be seen playing football in No. 4 Middle School. At least this sport is as popular as basketball in No. 4 Middle School.
Xue Yuantong occasionally looked at the students on the playground. Those students were running in the sunset like machines that never got tired.
It is very common to kick the ball out of the field when playing football, let alone a group of students who are not very professional. When Jiang Ning was taking a walk, a football slowly rolled over.
In the distance on the grass, Tao Nian, who was wearing a soccer jersey, shouted, "Classmate, please help kick the ball over here. Thank you!"
The other students on the field looked over and realized that this kind of thing had happened more than once or twice.
"Do you want to play?" Jiang Ning looked at Xue Yuantong who was eager to try.
Xue Yuantong stopped in front of the ball, her little face full of desire, but she thought for three seconds and gave up.
If she kicked it wrong, she might be laughed at.
"Come on."
Jiang Ning walked to the football and kicked the ball. The football suddenly took off from a stationary state, leaving a crescent-shaped trajectory under his feet, and like a meteor across the sky, it flew diagonally towards the goal from the edge of the playground.
The student guarding the goal had no time to react before the ball went in.
The extraordinary skills attracted the students on the scene to marvel:
"Fuck, that kick!"
Guo Kunnan, who was standing behind him, had been paying attention. He was full of admiration: "Damn anti-aircraft gun, Jiang Ning is so handsome!"
Shan Kaiquan agreed: "It's really handsome."
This is like helping someone pick up a basketball and then casually putting it into the basket.
After Jiang Ning scored a goal, Tao Nian ran over to him without wiping the sweat off his forehead:
"You are Jiang Ning, right? I'm Tao Nian, from the sports team. We competed in the sports meet, and I was the one who jumped 1.9 meters high."
Tao Nian introduced himself.
"Yes, I know you." Jiang Ning replied. This student was very capable. If it weren't for him, the high jump champion at that time would definitely be Tao Nian.
"You are good at playing football. Do you want to play together?" Tao Nian invited.
He really wanted to find someone to play football with. He was almost invincible on the No. 4 Middle School football field. If he had an opponent, he would be able to get some interest.
Jiang Ning glanced at Xue Yuantong beside him and refused: "Forget it, I have something to do."
Tao Nian said: "Accompanying your girlfriend?"
Before Jiang Ning could answer, Xue Yuantong quickly said, "I'm his neighbor."
"Oh, childhood sweethearts." Tao Nian expressed his understanding.
Xue Yuantong didn't know how to refute.
Seeing that Jiang Ning was not very interested in playing football, Tao Nian did not force him: "Let's play together next time when you have time."
"To be honest, brother, it's a shame for you not to practice sports with your physical fitness."
Tao Nian felt regretful, he didn't stop and ran back to the stadium.
"Brother Nian, is he Jiang Ning who broke three records in the last sports meet?" asked a boy with a crew cut. His hairstyle was a bit fierce, but his face was relatively gentle.
"Yes, it's him."
Chi Jia: "It's a pity that we are not in the same class, otherwise we could get to know each other."
Tao Nian smiled. Chi Jia was a student in their class, but he was not a sports student, so he didn't need to learn sports.
Not for anything else, because Chi Jia lives in a villa.
…
rear.
Guo Kunnan said: "If there is another ball, I would also like to kick it."
"It would be nice if Xu Yan saw this," he said with emotion.
Then, he blamed himself: "Damn it, why am I still thinking about Xu Yan? Didn't we agree not to be sad for bad women?"
Guo Kunnan walked around until the football team dispersed, but still hadn't seen the ball fly out of the field.
Before Jiang Ning left the playground, he met the two of them and greeted them.
"The buffet is almost ready, we can go now." Shan Kaiquan, "I'll lend you a bicycle."
Taking a taxi is too luxurious for them.
"After this tour, leave."
Guo Kunnan took a shortcut through the grass and walked to the edge of the basketball court when he suddenly saw several figures jumping around.
He looked up and saw that the basketball was stuck in the basket.
"This is outrageous!" Guo Kunnan exclaimed without stopping.
The next moment, he saw a beautiful figure under the basket. His heart skipped a beat and he stopped.
"Brother Quan, Brother Quan, let's go and take a look." Guo Kunnan pulled Shan Kaiquan.
As the distance between them shortened, he discovered that the little girl was truly ethereal and beautiful, no less beautiful than Xu Yan when he first met her playing roller skating.
The previous sad feeling for Xu Yan was instantly forgotten. Xu Yan was no longer an important person!
Under the basketball hoop, several boys with ulterior motives kept jumping high and low, trying to get the basketball down, but unfortunately no one could do it.
Guo Kunnan approached and found a boy at the edge to ask: "Brother, what's going on?"
The boy said, "Sister Qu's basketball is stuck, and everyone is trying to find a solution."
Guo Kunnan thought to himself: "What the hell, what the hell, it's actually a little girl's basketball."
"We are young, why should we be afraid of fighting!"
Guo Kunnan coughed twice and shouted, "Get out of the way, let me do it!"
He is courageous and possesses unrivalled self-confidence.
Several students stopped jumping and looked at each other.
Guo Kunnan took a deep breath and activated the cells, blood and muscles in his body to a state of readiness for battle.
He glanced at the girl named "Sister Qu". Looking at her beautiful and charming face, Guo Kunnan was drunk.
All the cells in his body almost exploded, and all the cells roared:
'I want you to look at me with new eyes!'
Guo Kunnan took a few steps back, took a running start, and his calf muscles suddenly bounced, releasing unprecedented power. The ancient genes in his body emerged, and the strong ape from the mammoth era seemed to merge with him, and he jumped high.
The students around him suddenly realized: 'He is flying! '
Guo Kunnan slapped out with a slap, releasing the anger that had been accumulated in recent days, and the basketball was directly snatched away.
He was overjoyed, he succeeded!
Then, there was a crisp "click" sound on the ground, and the cell phone in Guo Kunnan's trouser pocket fell out.
Everyone looked at the phone on the ground and saw that it was broken into three parts: the phone, the battery, and the back cover.
Shan Kaiquan looked at the screen and was horrified: "Brother Nan, your phone screen is broken!"
Guo Kunnan had just finished installing himself and was supposed to have some intimate time with the girl, but when he heard the bad news on the screen, his face changed drastically.
After he fell down, he silently bent down and picked up the phone parts one by one, his posture was awkward and hasty.
Guo Kunnan left, taking his sadness with him.
