Xiao Xiang Ning is like a happy chatterbox.
In fact, she just said what she was thinking.
When she finally asked: "Just now, I was clearly here, why did you tell your friend that Xiang Ning has left?"
Xu Tingsheng found a box of old CDs in the car, dug out one, and played an old song. Li Zongsheng is definitely not qualified with him, but he sang with such a special voice:
"Someone asked me where you are
I can't forget after all these years
No matter how beautiful the spring breeze is, it can't compare to your smile
People who haven't met you won't understand
It's fine if you're delusional
Whether it's the karma of the previous life
…”
Little Xiang Ning hummed along one sentence after another: "No matter how beautiful the spring breeze is, it can't compare to your smile. People who haven't seen you will not understand... It doesn't matter if it's a marriage from a previous life..."
When you are with that person, the picture is always... inadvertently, it is beautiful.
…
Xu Tingsheng didn't know exactly when the Porcelain Industry started, but he did.
It was only two or three hundred meters away from Xiang's house.
When the middle-aged man fell beside the front of the car extremely slowly, his sincerity was so false that even the stupid Xiang Ning didn't think it was a car accident. She said very seriously: "Why did that man faint suddenly? Did he go to the hospital?"
Xu Tingsheng explained a few words to her and got out of the car.
"Oh, it's broken, it's broken, it can't live anymore, how did you drive?"
The man saw Xu Tingsheng get out of the car, and started to twitch on the ground, howling.
"Didn't it hit you?" Xu Tingsheng said.
"Why didn't I hit it? Didn't you see that I was hurt? Either 500 yuan, or call the police."
The man pointed out to Xu Tingsheng a red and swollen ankle.
"Then call the police. Let's both have our injuries checked. I'm hurt too." Xu Tingsheng said.
The man sneered: "Hey, are you still hurt? You drove the car, are you still hurt? Hey..."
"Well, poof."
Xu Tingsheng spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed the man's head and face. Previously, he was hit repeatedly in the abdomen and hurt his stomach. He was covered by this mouthful of blood and endured it all the time...
Because before and after, he knew that since he doted on Xiang Ning like this, the chances of being with her were destined to be less and less.
Right now, he couldn't bear it anymore.
The man froze for an instant, staring blankly at Xu Tingsheng, who was slowly wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. Play so hard? It was the first time he had seen such a move in Pengci for many years.
"What are you doing?" He said in a crying voice, as if he had been wronged.
"He's vomiting blood." Xu Tingsheng said calmly.
"None of my business?" he said.
"How could it be none of your business? When you fell just now, I slammed on the brakes and hit my chest. I'm so injured, didn't you see? I probably won't be able to live." Xu Tingsheng used a "dying death " said the tone.
"Then what to do?"
"500 yuan, or call the police."
The man got up and ran away.
Xu Tingsheng smiled and returned to the car, Xiang Ning looked at him.
"It's just a little stomach bleeding. It's not serious. I'll send you to the hospital as soon as you get home." Xu Tingsheng said.
"I'll accompany you." Xiang Ning was crying.
"You go home first." Xu Tingsheng said.
"I..." Xiang Ning choked up and said, "Xu Tingsheng, can I tell you the answer to that question just now? Little Xiang Ning will grow up to become..."
"Xiao Ning." Xiang Ma's voice.
From the moment they saw the scene in the afternoon, Xiang's parents and Xiang's mother have been worried. In a state of anxiety, they called the police and their niece told them what they saw in the afternoon. The other party's answer made them even more worried. .
After waiting at home for a while, Xu Tingsheng did not see Xiang Ning back home, so the couple went out to wait.
Xiang Ma saw Xu Tingsheng and Xiang Ning through the car window.
She waved her hands and shouted: "Xiao Ning, get out of the car and go home."
Xu Tingsheng didn't intend to appear in front of Xiang's father and mother Xiang today. He had already taught Xiang Ning a set of rhetoric, teaching her to hide today's incident from Xiang's father and mother, but now, there is no other way.
Xu Tingsheng got out of the car, and Xiang Ning just wiped away her tears when she was dragged out of the car by Xiang's mother.
"Uncle, aunt, I..."
He was interrupted by Xiang's mother after half a sentence.
"You go back first."
Xiang's mother said that after she finished speaking, she carefully checked Xiang Ning's whole body to see if she was injured.
"today… "
Xu Tingsheng said boldly.
"You go back first."
Xiang Ma repeated it.
"okay."
Dad Xiang pulled Dongdong out of the back seat, walked past Xu Tingsheng, and said in a low voice:
"That's right, in the afternoon, we also arrived later... So, Xiao Ning's mother was scared... To be honest, we are ordinary people, used to live in peace...
Tingsheng, can you give uncle a reasonable explanation and tell me why you came to teach Xiao Ning? "
Up to this moment, Xu Tingsheng already knew that, as Xiang Ning's police cousin said, those reasons he had before... all of them don't make sense now.
He just shook his head.
"Then go back first. Thank you for today's matter, but we really don't want this to happen again. Later, I will call you." Father Xiang patted Xu Tingsheng on the shoulder and said.
"Okay, then uncle... goodbye."
Holding the car door, Xu Tingsheng turned his head and glanced at Xiang Ning who was standing beside Xiang's mother. Regardless of her mother's persuasion, she burst into tears. Xu Tingsheng felt that he would remember the look in her eyes at this moment for a lifetime.
She didn't know what happened here, she only knew that his mother who had always liked Xu Tingsheng suddenly spoke coldly to him, and all she knew was that the uncle had warned her not to tell her parents what happened in the afternoon.
Xu Tingsheng waved his hand.
Xiang Ning also wanted to wave, but Xiang's mother pulled her back and turned to go home.
The golden retriever wagged its tail, turned its head and barked a few times.
The song is still playing in the car:
"No matter how beautiful the spring breeze is, it can't compare to your smile.
People who haven't met you won't understand
…
Although the future cannot be known
Is it too early to say goodbye now
…”
No matter how beautiful the spring breeze is, it can't compare to your smile, but at the last glance, you burst into tears.
…
Xu Tingsheng parked his car on the side of the road and lit a cigarette. "Maybe things were done wrong from the very beginning. I was too blind and appeared in Xiang Ning's life too early, even in front of her parents..."
He had always feared that day would come, and finally, it did.
Dad Xiang said he would call Xu Tingsheng, and the call came very quickly.
Xu Tingsheng picked it up.
Dad Xiang said, "Tingsheng, if you haven't gone far, come back."
Xu Tingsheng was a little excited, and quickly said: "I haven't gone far, I haven't gone far... I'll be right back. Uncle, wait a moment, I'll be there in a while. Very soon."
In less than ten minutes, Xu Tingsheng parked his car in front of Xiang's house.
The only one standing in front of the door waiting for him was Dad Xiang, there was no Xiang Ning, no Xiang mother.
Dad Xiang got into the car, handed Xu Tingsheng a cigarette, and said, "I've known that you can smoke a long time ago. You saw it after you went out. It's rare...every time you come to my house, there is no smell of cigarettes."
Xu Tingsheng lit up his cigarette somewhat at a loss.
"I remember you said that you have a younger sister?" Father Xiang asked suddenly.
"Yes." Xu Tingsheng replied.
"Is she older than Xiao Ning?"
"Two years older."
"So, you should be able to understand the worries of Xiao Ning's mother and me, right? Are you relieved? After you became famous last semester, it was known that you were with relatives and friends who were tutoring our Xiao Ning. It's not very nice to say, it's said that our child is still so young, so I just brought it...
Now, I'm not going to ask why. In short, if you can't explain it, and we can't figure it out, it's better not to talk about it, because it's inappropriate to talk about it. Then, I, the father, and Xiang Ning's mother have already made a decision. "
"That's it," Xiang's father said, "next semester, Xiao Ning's tutor, you can replace us with someone else. I think the teacher Li Linlin who replaced you last time will be very good."
"Okay, I will arrange it." Xu Tingsheng said.
"Also, don't contact Xiao Ning in the future, please be an uncle." Father Xiang took out the mobile phone that Xu Tingsheng had just bought for Xiang Ning from his pocket, put it next to Xu Tingsheng, and said, "Mother Xiao Ning just found this phone." Yes, take it back."
"..." Xu Tingsheng gripped the phone silently, it was still in Xiang Ning's hand just now, and he couldn't put it down.
"Also, Xiao Ning still has two weeks of classes in the training school. We originally wanted her to stop attending, but we can't hold back the child, and it's not appropriate to tell her about these things... So, I can only trouble you, we hope you ...Don't teach Xiao Ning any more."
"I see."
"Finally, uncle, please ask you one more thing."
"Uncle, tell me."
"I hope you don't tell Xiao Ning that this is our decision. She is now in the rebellious period, and she is about to enter the third grade of junior high school. I am worried that because she is too dependent on you and reluctant, she will get angry with us and affect her studies... So, she really If there is a way to contact you, if you ask, just say that you are too busy to come. Slowly she will be fine. "
"… good."
"For Xiao Ning's sake, give uncle a guarantee."
"… I promise."
"Tingsheng, oh, to be honest, it's been half a year, and uncle is almost addicted to the food you cook. In fact, if Xiao Ning is a few years older, uncle... will like you very much. So be it, turn around, wait for Xiao Ning to pass the exam In high school, uncle treats you to dinner."
Dad Xiang got out of the car.
Xu Tingsheng drove the car.
Xiang Ning led Dongdong and chased after him.
Xu Tingsheng stopped the car.
"Uncle, take Dongdong away. They knew that Dongdong was in trouble, and my mother wanted to give Dongdong away, and she confiscated my mobile phone... Oh, you should take Dongdong away, and take care of me It, I can sneak a look at it on weekends."
The golden retriever whined a few times, and was chased into the passenger seat by Xiang Ning, maybe it also knew that it had been abandoned.
In fact, Xiang Ning is the only one who doesn't know anything about what happened. Don't know what's next. And Xu Tingsheng's promise to Xiang's father will not be broken.
"Remember to go to the hospital as soon as possible."
"good."
"Help me take care of Dongdong."
"good."
"Then I'll go back first. My mother is so fierce today, and my father won't help me. See you next week."
"… good."
Xu Tingsheng drove away slowly, and Xiao Xiangning waved in the rearview mirror until the car turned a corner and was no longer seen.
After driving blindly for a while, Xu Tingsheng finally parked the car unconsciously at the station where he last parted in his previous life.
The photos on the phone have not been deleted. In the photos, Xiao Xiang Ning is holding Xu Tingsheng's hand, leaning her head, riding on Xu Tingsheng's back, and pulling his hair. She smiles like a flower in every photo...
All this just now...
Xu Tingsheng flipped through the pages one by one, over and over again, sobbing silently...
The golden retriever growled beside him.
