Xiao Xiang Ning asked Xu Tingsheng: "What if Da Xiang Ning comes back to find you?" This is a question that is almost fateful. If Xu Tingsheng leaves Xiao Xiang Ning's world, then in the future... will there be that fateful encounter
When we meet again, how will we treat each other? Will you still fall in love with me
In fact, even if he sticks to Xiao Xiang Ning's side, it's still a question mark: Will you fall in love with me one day
Xu Tingsheng was willing to wait for this uncertain answer without any hesitation.
However, right now there is an Apple that he can never hurt her in the slightest. She is walking in the darkness and mud. Once she is dropped, with no one to support her, no one to carry her, she may go to the abyss.
…
The Longwu Gymnasium in West Lake City, as a super second-tier city, concerts are already commonplace for West Lake citizens, but the tickets for this platter show are still sold by 70% to 80%, because there are three singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Fame and appeal are not small.
Apple had told Xu Tingsheng before that she would probably be in the middle of the line and would not play until around 9:30.
Considering Xu Tingsheng's psychological age of 31 years old, he no longer has much enthusiasm for celebrities. What's more, on this day, his mood is a bit complicated, and he really needs a space to be alone.
He was also afraid that he would meet little Xiang Ning among the crowd waiting to enter, so he set off about half an hour late.
The concert started at 7:30, and Xu Tingsheng didn't arrive until almost 8:30. At this time, he could already hear the singing and cheers in the venue, and saw the scene of spotlight beams interlacing and rushing into the sky.
I smoked a cigarette with the security inspectors at the ticket gate and chatted for a while. One of the security inspectors enthusiastically led Xu Tingsheng to the entrance of the entrance and pointed Xu Tingsheng in a direction.
Xu Tingsheng took a look, and coincidentally, there was someone holding a light sign of the Apple Support Club, presumably it was a gathering place for Apple fans.
At this time, a Singaporean female singer who had just released her first album was singing on the stage. The response was not enthusiastic. Obviously, not many people came for her, and many people didn't even know who she was.
Of course, Xu Tingsheng knew that this person would become a queen-level figure in the future. It turns out that they have all gone through this step, and they used to be someone else's foil before shining on the stage.
The scene was a bit dark, Xu Tingsheng walked slowly along the steps towards his seat.
When passing the middle part of the stands, a small hand suddenly grabbed the lower edge of his T-shirt from the side and rear.
"Oh, look, I caught a liar uncle."
Xu Tingsheng turned his head and saw little Xiang Ning, who was sitting beside the aisle, carrying a red backpack on her chest, holding two light sticks in her hand, and looked at Xu Tingsheng proudly.
Xu Tingsheng had imagined what would happen if he met Xiang Ning at the scene, but he just imagined it, and felt that it was unlikely to happen. After all, after the concert started, the lights on the scene were dim, and tens of thousands of people screamed and screamed into chaos. Even if they deliberately wanted to find someone, not easy.
However, that's how it happened. In such an inevitable encounter among nearly ten thousand people, she grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"Xiao Ning, what's the matter?" A woman in her twenties next to her asked, presumably this person was the cousin Xiang Ning was talking about, but not the Li Meng she met at Xiang's house last time.
"Hello, I'm Xiang Ning's tutor." Xu Tingsheng took the initiative to explain.
"It's the famous Xu Tingsheng? I checked you out." Xiang Ning's cousin seemed to have entered the workplace, her expression gave off a sophisticated look, and she looked at Xu Tingsheng with scrutiny.
"Ah, so... you checked me?" Xu Tingsheng asked in confusion.
The cousin stood up and pulled Xu Tingsheng aside to avoid Xiang Ning.
"I want to ask you a few words, and I don't want Xiao Ning to hear it." The cousin said.
"Okay." Xu Tingsheng turned his head to look at the confused little Xiang Ning, and said nervously.
"I did check you. My aunt, uncle, and Xiao Ning were playing at my house these days. They mentioned you and said that Xiao Ning had a very powerful tutor. I just checked... Cao Cao's tomb? Also, Your mutual sincerity education is worth tens of millions, right?"
The words of Xiang Ning's cousin gave Xu Tingsheng the feeling that the police were interrogating the prisoner.
"Then, I told my aunt and uncle in private that this is very abnormal," the cousin continued, "In your situation, is it normal to be a tutor for a junior high school student? Isn't it suspicious?"
"It's like this. At that time, our platform was in its infancy and launched a competitive recruitment system, so I..." Xu Tingsheng planned to explain according to the original rhetoric.
"This uncle told me about it, but it didn't make sense. You don't need to talk about it." The cousin interrupted Xu Tingsheng.
"Then, what is suspicious about me? I have been tutoring Xiang Ning for half a year. You should know about my performance from my uncles, aunts and Xiang Ning. I think I did nothing wrong."
Precisely because of his guilty conscience, Xu Tingsheng asked back with a firm attitude... No way, he has no way to explain.
"That's why I can't figure it out even more. I want to hear your own explanation."
"May I ask this...cousin, what is your occupation?"
"police."
"Sure enough, it might be an occupational disease. My situation, as I said before, was originally just a test of the competitive employment system and a channel to understand customers. Later, I got along very well with my uncle, aunt, and Xiang Ning, so I hope I can stay and help Xiang Ning until she was admitted to high school."
"I said that it doesn't make sense. Aren't you busy? A multi-millionaire." The cousin's tone became unfriendly.
The two felt a little tense.
The innocent little Xiang Ning finally couldn't hold back, walked over, looked left and right, and said aggrievedly: "Big... teacher, sister, what's wrong with you? Did you quarrel? Can you stop arguing?"
Of course Xu Tingsheng was happy and nodded with a smile.
Then, Xiang Ning walked up to her cousin and whispered in her ear for a while. Little Xiang Ning seemed to be trying her best to fight for something, she was so anxious that she was about to cry, and then she got her cousin's consent and smiled.
"Come."
The cousin returned to her seat, Xiao Xiang Ning walked to Xu Tingsheng's side, pulled his clothes and ran to the back of the stands.
"Be careful." Xu Tingsheng grabbed her arm instead.
The two arrived near the entrance of the passage.
"Uncle, don't be afraid, sister is fine." Xiao Xiang Ning comforted Xu Tingsheng.
"Well, thank you. It's just a little scary." Xu Tingsheng said with a smile.
"But, isn't uncle saying that he can't come?"
Xiao Xiang Ning squinted her eyes and smiled, looking at Xu Tingsheng with an expression that I would like to see how you explain it.
"This... You see, I've been late for so long, I really thought I wouldn't be able to catch up." Xu Tingsheng explained with a guilty conscience.
"Okay, let me show you your gift."
Seemingly looking forward to the uncle seeing the gift she carefully prepared, Xiao Xiang Ning opened the backpack on her chest, took out a carefully wrapped plastic bag, and handed it to Xu Tingsheng.
"Did you take it with you?"
"Because my parents don't know. When I was shopping, I bought it secretly while they were not paying attention. So, I have to hide it secretly."
"Thank you, little Xiang Ning." Xu Tingsheng said.
"Aren't you going to take a look at it?" Seeing that Xu Tingsheng was holding the gift in his hand without any intention of opening it, Xiang Ning said proactively.
"Now?"
"Um."
"good."
Xu Tingsheng opened the bag, and inside was a light blue half-sleeved shirt with the head of the Beatles printed on the collar and the word "Beatles" printed on the left chest.
Xu Tingsheng noticed that it was a half-sleeved shirt, but Xiang Ning bought short-sleeved shirts in the hottest summer. This point is the same as in the previous life. In the previous life, Xiang Ning was most strongly opposed to the short-sleeved shirts in Xu Tingsheng's clothes. She felt old-fashioned and rustic, like middle-aged and elderly cadres in the unit.
In her previous life, Xiang Ning wore a shirt of the same color from Xu Tingsheng and refused to return it.
At that time Xu Tingsheng asked her: "Why, you can't wear it again."
At that time Xiang Ning said:
"I'm afraid that if one day we quarrel, have a cold war, and want to break up. I am very angry and ignore you, and the uncle can't bear to beg me... Then we really separated. So, I want to prepare an excuse for the uncle to come to me again .
You can come and ask for your shirt back, you can ask me in a very aggressive tone, you can say that if you leave, it will completely cut off contact... But then we have to meet, and when we meet... you will be reluctant, and you will not be separated. . Is it right? "
"Well, I will be reluctant to see you." That's how Xu Tingsheng replied at that time. The shirt was still in Xiang Ning's hands until the end.
Xu Tingsheng held the shirt in his hand, his chest was sore.
"Uncle, try it." Xiao Xiang Ning said still excitedly.
"good."
Xu Tingsheng wore the shirt over the T-shirt.
"How is it?" He asked Xiang Ning.
Little Xiang Ning tilted her head to look left and right, then went around to look behind Xu Tingsheng, and walked to him. "It seems to be a little bigger, has uncle lost weight recently?"
As she spoke, she folded the half sleeve of Xu Tingsheng's right arm up two times neatly with both hands, buttoned it up, and carefully pulled out some irregular folds on purpose. Repeated several times, she was finally satisfied.
Then, she walked to Xu Tingsheng's left and did the same thing again.
During the whole process, she had a happy smile and was focused and serious.
And Xu Tingsheng was trying hard to suppress his tears.
After finishing this step, Xiao Xiang Ning took a few steps back, looked at it, and said, "This is much better. Uncle, remember, if you wear a shirt in summer, you would rather have the half-sleeves rolled up a bit than short-sleeved shirts. That's ugly as hell."
These words were exactly the same as what she had said before, Xu Tingsheng didn't dare to speak for fear that his voice would choke. He nodded vigorously.
"Also, come on, you bend down."
Xiao Xiang Ning beckoned, Xu Tingsheng bent down.
"You don't need to be so low, she has grown a lot taller this year." Xiao Xiang Ning said unconvinced.
Xu Tingsheng looked at it, and indeed, compared with the braided Xiang Ning he saw at the gate of Xinyan Middle School, in just one year, she has grown up a lot, and she has also grown a lot taller, judging by her height, It should be 1.6 meters, but still so thin.
She is getting closer and closer to the former Xiang Ning.
Xu Tingsheng stood up slightly, but Xiang Ning was still dissatisfied, and said angrily, "Stand up straight, I can do it."
Little Xiang Ning stretched out her hand, starting from the third button, and buttoned Xu Tingsheng's shirt one by one.
In the previous life, on the morning of the second day when the two lived together for the first time, she held back her shyness and insisted on doing so, carefully rolling up the sleeves of his shirt and buttoning up the buttons.
In the previous life, there was a time when Ms. Xiang directed an "ancient bitter drama", and the uncle played a "thin love man" who was originally a poor scholar and abandoned his old love after being admitted to the first prize. In one scene, Ms. Xiang saw off the "Uncle Scholar" who was about to go to Beijing for the exam, carefully arranged her clothes, and read two lines of poems written by herself:
"In this life, I only have these bare hands, rolling up the sleeves and buttoning up for the king."
