After more than half a month of rain, it finally cleared up.
Chi Nuan sat in the seat and drank brown sugar ginger tea, sweating profusely.
Xu Dan came back from her homework and asked, "Does your stomach still hurt?"
Chi Nuan said, "It's okay, it didn't hurt last time."
There was a dull pain in her stomach. Although it wasn't as bad as last time, it was enough for her to suffer.
When Chi Nuan is on her aunt's day, she doesn't like to move. Nest in the position, holding the water glass to do the exercise book.
In the afternoon, gym class.
After more than a month of basketball lessons, the intern teacher changed the location of the class to the small playground runway.
"Everyone run 800 meters to warm up first." The teacher said with a smile.
Eight hundred meters, four laps.
Chi Nuan stood at the starting point, frowning, feeling a little worried.
Xu Dan said beside him, "Just ask for leave. If you say you're uncomfortable, the teacher will understand."
Chi Nuan said, "But my stomach doesn't hurt anymore..."
Xu Dan: "..." I can't understand the brain circuits of the students well, isn't it good to be lazy in physical education class
The teacher whistled: "Prepare - run!"
The boys lined up in the front, the girls were in the back, Chi Nuan was in the crowd, and when he ran through the first corner, the pain in his lower abdomen began to hurt again without warning.
She gritted her teeth and gradually slowed down.
The young intern teacher was standing on the side of the track. Chi Nuan finally finished running in one lap. When passing him, he thought to take a leave of absence. Who knows, the teacher encouraged with a smile: "Classmate, you are running a little slow. Work harder, there are three laps left."
Chi Nuan: "…"
Chi Nuan covered her stomach and fell at the end of the team.
A gust of wind flew past her, Zhou Damao asked her backwards, "Damn it, squad leader, what lap are you in?"
Chi Nuan didn't have the strength to deal with him at all.
The pain was expanding along her lower abdomen, irritating her nerves. This is no longer the kind of dull pain it used to be, as if something was stirring in her stomach, making her breathless.
Chi Nuan took a quick breath, and Zhou Damao paused: "What's the matter with you? Are you so pale?"
Then, in his terrified eyes, Chi Nuan's feet softened, and his whole body threw himself on the runway—
A pair of arms passed through Chi Nuan's armpits, and then her back slammed into a hug.
After exercising, the more intense cold aroma radiated into Chi Nuan's nose instantly, it was Gu Ningzi.
Zhou Damao was still in shock, so he didn't care about running in circles, so he leaned over and said, "Are you alright, are you alright?"
Chi Nuan covered her stomach and was speechless.
Gu Ningzi: "I'll take you to the infirmary."
Xu Dan and the others ran over in the second lap, Du Min immediately went to the teacher to ask for leave, Xu Dan quickly supported Chi Nuan's arm, and Gu Ningzi left and right, and sent her to the infirmary.
Chi Nuan's face was pale, and he couldn't help sobbing.
Xu Dan suggested: "Gu Ningzi, you are tall, can't you hug our monitor? She hurts a lot."
Gu Ningzi: "..."
Gu Ningzi was about to hug her, Chi Nuan grabbed her clothes and shook her head: "Don't...you're a girl too."
Zhou Damao was eager to hug, but was chased away by Xu Dan: "Go back and run your eight hundred meters!"
Chi Nuan finally got to the infirmary, and the school doctor gave her some painkillers and told her to rest on the bed in the back of the infirmary.
Chi Nuan curled up and closed her eyes to resist the wave after wave of pain in her body.
There were people going in and out, and she couldn't tell the difference. Later, a hot water bottle was stuffed into the quilt and pressed against her stomach. The pain eased, and the warmth eased her tense body a little.
The medicine gradually began to take effect, and Chi Nuan fell asleep unconsciously.
Indistinctly, as if he heard something from the school doctor, the other party only gave a soft "um".
When Chi Nuan woke up, he saw outside the window of the infirmary.
There was a small gap in the window, the wind was blowing in, and the curtains fluttered slightly.
The pain disappeared, she sat up from the bed, lifted the quilt and put on her shoes. Out of the corner of the eye, she caught a glimpse of a pair of red and black sneakers not far away.
Chi Nuan looked up along the shoes, Gu Ningzi stood against the table, with headphones plugged into her ears. There are two of them's schoolbags on the table, side by side.
Chi Nuan didn't expect Gu Ningzi to be here, scratching her hair, she said softly, "Thank you, Gu Ningzi."
Seeing her lips opening and closing, Gu Ningzi opened the earphone with her fingers: "Huh?"
Chi Nuan repeated, "Thank you."
Gu Ningzi: "Well."
Chi Nuan put on her shoes, took out the small cloth bag for sanitary napkins from her schoolbag, and said to Gu Ningzi, "Wait for me, let's go together."
After coming out of the toilet, Gu Ningzi had already carried Chi Nuan's schoolbag and was waiting at the entrance of the stairs.
Chi Nuan took her bag from her, and Gu Ningzi said, "Your phone is shaking inside, there is a phone."
Chi Nuan took out her phone, and there was a missed call from Chi Qingchuan.
She dialed it and listened to the phone while walking, Gu Ningzi heard her say, "Okay brother, I'll come."
The two walked outside the school gate, and Chi Qingchuan stood under the four strong characters "Yuncheng No. 1 Middle School", waiting for Chi Nuan.
"Brother." Chi Nuan walked up to him, tilted his head and smiled at him.
Chi Qingchuan said, "I came here with Mr. Ji to do errands. I just thought about having dinner with you before going back! ... Nuan Nuan, is this your classmate?"
Mr. Ji is Chi Qingchuan's boss.
Chi Nuan nodded and said, "Her name is Gu Ningzi."
He asked again, "What about my sister-in-law? What will she do for dinner?"
Chi Qingchuan said, "It's alright, everything is ready for her. Nuan Nuan, would you like your classmate to eat with us?"
Chi Nuan looked at Gu Ningzi and was very grateful to her. She wanted to speak, but she was afraid of causing inconvenience to the other party. Her family should be waiting for her to go home for dinner, right
Gu Ningzi put her hand in her trouser pocket, and Chi Nuan looked at each other for two seconds before saying, "Okay."
The three went to a small restaurant near the school. Chi Qingchuan ordered two dishes that Chi Nuan likes to eat, and then asked Gu Ningzi: "Little Gu, what do you like to eat? Brother treat, don't be polite."
Chi Nuan somehow thought of the bowl of rice noodles that had not been touched very much, and the white sports car.
…
The light hit Gu Ningzi's face, her browbones were delicate, and her eyelashes dipped a thick shadow under her eyes.
After studying the glossy menu very seriously, Gu Ningzi said, "I want to eat Yangchun noodles with less oil and no scallions, is that okay?"
Chi Qingchuan: "… Yes, of course."
Yangchun's noodles came, a bowl bigger than the face plate, Gu Ningzi hesitantly used the chopsticks to scoop up the noodles.
Chi Nuan wanted to laugh, and when she saw Gu Ningzi put the noodles into her mouth, she asked, "Is it delicious?"
Gu Ningzi: "... um."
Gu Ningzi ate the noodles quietly, and Chi Nuan and Chi Qingchuan chatted from time to time.
They were just talking about some very ordinary life trivia, Chi Qingchuan said more, what about the grandma's 80th birthday downstairs, the family was very lively, but the gun battle was shocked by the little black dog who had just raised, the little black dog ran away I went out, and I couldn't find it for a few days... and so on.
Gu Ningzi listened calmly, and Chi Nuan would turn her head to look at her from time to time.
Chi Qingchuan saw that Gu Ningzi didn't speak, worried that the two brothers and sisters were too engaged in chatting, so she would be left out, so he took the initiative to change the subject: "I haven't heard Nuan Nuan mention Xiao Gu before, are you a new classmate?"
Chi Nuan said, "Yes, she just transferred this semester."
When Chi Qingchuan was about to ask where he came from, Gu Ningzi's phone lit up.
The screen of the mobile phone on the table was on, and Chi Nuan saw the caller ID: spoon.
spoon? What is this strange name
But Gu Ningzi didn't answer.
We ate and chatted over a meal for a long time. Later, Chi Qingchuan slapped his thigh: "No, Nuan Nuan, does your school have access control?"
Chi Nuan said, "It's too late. The access control to the dormitory is until 9:30. Before entering the school gate, the uncle of the guard will usually be accommodating if you say good things."
Chi Qingchuan urged: "It's almost 9 o'clock, you should hurry back, brother will come to see you next time. - Xiao Gu, we will be together then."
The three broke up outside the small restaurant, and Chi Nuan and Gu Ningzi walked towards the school together.
The night wind blew away the heat. Chi Nuan was in her aunt's period, and she was afraid of the cold. After walking for a while, she felt that the cold air was desperately digging into her body from her neckline and cuffs.
She shrank her neck, saw the milk tea shop on the street, and asked Gu Ningzi, "Do you want to drink milk tea?"
Gu Ningzi stopped: "Do you want to drink?"
Chi Nuan said, "Gu Ningzi, thank you today, I'll invite you to drink milk tea."
Gu Ningzi was already digging out her wallet, she stopped when she heard the words, looked at Chi Nuan, and said, "Okay."
Chi Nuan pulled out the bunny-eared wallet from her schoolbag, walked to the door of the milk tea shop, waited for a while to see the variety, and then asked Gu Ningzi, "Which one do you like to drink?"
Gu Ningzi said, "You can."
Chi Nuan said, "Is that the same as me?"
Gu Ningzi said "um".
Chi Nuan ordered, opened his wallet to pay, and when the clerk was looking for change, a short young man squeezed between Chi Nuan and the counter and ran away.
Chi Nuan thought something was weird, and the clerk shouted at her, "Wallet! Your wallet has been robbed!!"
Chi Nuan was shocked, and sure enough, the rabbit-eared wallet that was still in his hand was gone!
"You! You!" Chi Nuan looked at the short young man's back, and for two seconds, the surrounding sound was automatically silenced, and his mind went blank.
The sound of cars whizzing by on the street re-entered my ears, and almost instantly, tears rushed out of my eyes.
Chi Nuan was about to chase after her, but Gu Ningzi grabbed her and threw off the schoolbag on her back: "Just wait for me here!"
…
Chi Nuan held Gu Ningzi's schoolbag, stood on the street, and kept looking in the direction where she disappeared.
As the night gets darker, this street is a famous night snack street in Yuncheng, and the night becomes more and more lively. But there are so many people on the street, but I still can't see the one I am familiar with.
The clerk of the milk tea shop made many cups of milk tea. When he looked up, he found Chi Nuan still standing there, rubbing his eyes from time to time.
Looking at the empty moment, she came out of the store wiping her hands. Seeing that Chi Nuan was wearing the school uniform of No. 1 Middle School, she asked, "Is your classmate still back?"
Chi Nuan's eyelashes were wet with tears, and her eyes were red and swollen.
She sniffled and shook her head.
The clerk said uncertainly: "Or call the police? ... This is a robbery. Your classmate is a beautiful girl, so if you chase after him like this, will it be dangerous? I heard that robbers usually carry knives with them... "
Chi Nuan didn't realize this problem before, but after listening to the clerk's words, she was so frightened that she got cold all over.
"My, my, my wallet was robbed, my classmate she—"
Someone took the phone away from her back.
Chi Nuan turned around, Gu Ningzi sighed lightly, her sweaty bangs pressed against her forehead, and under the street lamp, her skin was delicately glowing.
"Here you are." Gu Ningzi handed the phone to Chi Nuan along with the bunny-eared wallet, "Look to see if anything is missing."
