Still, Wait For Me

Chapter 8: Memory is an ocean

Views:

While eating lunch, Xu Tingsheng, Huang Yaming, and Fu Cheng were walking back to the dormitory in the teaching building. Along the way, a bold girl began to hide behind her classmates and shout:

"Xu Tingsheng, next time you go to the rooftop to drink and sing, remember to call me."

"Xu Tingsheng, the world is so big, let me accompany you to see it."

"Xu Tingsheng, come on."

"..."

Xu Tingsheng, the man who pulls the wind, is in pain now. Today's incidents made him very painful, "pushing the wind" was very painful, and what was even more painful was that he saw two people walking towards each other one after the other.

Wu Yuewei hadn't been able to listen to the class for a whole morning. During the period, the teacher asked her to get up several times to answer questions. She had to be reminded by her deskmate before she could react.

In a situation like this, the treatment of a good student is that the teacher will say: "Are you feeling unwell? Sit down and pay attention to rest."

Wu Yuewei sat down, but couldn't take back her thoughts at all.

She thought of the blood at the corner of his mouth, of his self-criticism on the command platform, and of his saying "the world is so big, I want to see it".

"He didn't need to do that. To protect me, he would rather be wronged and wronged than tell the truth."

The roommate who was very close to Wu Yuewei during this time suddenly started to alienate her, and even seemed afraid of getting close to her. Wu Yuewei knew that this must have something to do with Bao Ming's group, and then Xu Tingsheng.

Wu Yuewei couldn't figure out what Xu Tingsheng did, but she knew he must have done something to protect her and let her get rid of Bao Ming and his gang.

If Xu Tingsheng hadn't told her not to expose herself in this matter, Wu Yuewei would have been unable to sit in the classroom for a long time. She wanted to see Xu Tingsheng and talk to him.

During lunch, the girls around him were talking about him, Wu Yuewei listened, and the tablemate suddenly turned to her and said: "That person, he is the senior you stopped on the road in the first year of high school, right?"

Wu Yuewei was stunned for a moment, then hugged her deskmate, jumping with joy.

The deskmate looked puzzled.

Wu Yuewei smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, I'm going to find him."

Wu Yuewei figured it out. She could have gone to him openly. Anyway, many people knew that she had stopped him before and that she liked a senior.

The deskmate shook his head: "Don't go, you will be laughed at and chased after you. You haven't been laughed at enough in your first year of high school."

Wu Yuewei raised her small fist: "I'm just going to chase him back... I'm so shameless."

The deskmate tugged but didn't hold back, and sat down helplessly. She and Wu Yuewei have been at the same table since the first year of high school, and they are best friends, but she feels that she still doesn't know Wu Yuewei well enough, this good girl in everyone's eyes, she is simple, quiet, and even looks a little timid at ordinary times, but she is contradictory He has a brave, crazy, or silly side. For example, she would stop a senior in full view on the first day of school, for example, she would accept the suggestion of that obviously malicious roommate to do that kind of "experiment", such as now.

Wu Yuewei went to the infirmary to buy a box of medicine, and then stood by the roadside waiting for Xu Tingsheng.

Xu Tingsheng, Huang Yaming, and Fu Cheng walked over.

Wu Yuewei went up to meet her, and whispered to Huang Yaming and Fu Cheng, "Thank you."

Huang Yaming and Fu Cheng abandoned Xu Tingsheng and left without loyalty.

"I know I was wrong, and I won't be like that in the future. I will listen to you and study hard." Wu Yuewei said with her head down.

Xu Tingsheng smiled: "That's good, your grades will at least go to Jianhai University in the future."

So Wu Yuewei's college entrance examination goal changed from Qingbei to Jianhai University. She said, "Do you still hurt? I bought medicine." She lifted her hand out, wanting to touch Xu Tingsheng's bloody mouth.

Xu Tingsheng took a step back to avoid her hand, took the medicine, and said, "Thank you, you can go eat quickly."

Wu Yuewei said, "I've already eaten."

"So fast? You just finished class."

"Music class, the teacher didn't come last week, and he didn't come today, so my deskmate dragged me away first... Not only us, many classmates also ran away first."

"Oh, it's nice not to have to line up, then I'll go eat first."

"I still like you, I have always liked you." Wu Yuewei said suddenly.

"...but I don't like you anymore. I was not sensible in junior high school." Xu Tingsheng said as lightly as possible.

Wu Yuewei thought for a while and said, "You're lying."

Xu Tingsheng smiled wryly: "No, I really don't like it... You study well, you are beautiful, and you work hard. Many people will like you in the future."

Wu Yuewei thought for a while, raised her head and looked into Xu Tingsheng's eyes, and said, "It won't affect my studies, I promise."

Xu Tingsheng felt like he was going to be Sparta.

At this time Yao Jing came over, slapped a box of medicine in Xu Tingsheng's arms, and said, "Fu Cheng told me everything, good job."

Then she brushed shoulders with Wu Yuewei.

Yao Jing was also a little restless this morning, especially after hearing the gossip that Xu Tingsheng fought because of a girl, Yao Jing, who has always been free and easy, also felt a little disturbed.

Fortunately, Fu Cheng helped her untangle her mind.

Fu Cheng didn't live in the school, so he didn't hear what Xu Tingsheng said to Huang Yaming last night, that is to say, he didn't know that Xu Tingsheng had "changed his mind" towards Yao Jing. So he enthusiastically helped Xu Tingsheng explain. Although for the purpose of protecting Wu Yuewei, he couldn't explain the matter too clearly, but the clever Yao Jing still understood.

"Do what is right, and then in order to protect the girl's reputation, would you rather be wronged than tell the truth?" Xu Tingsheng's image in Yao Jing's heart instantly grew, and she felt that he was very thoughtful and did a good job.

Hearing that others were talking about Xu Tingsheng, Yao Jing felt that as his "future tense" girlfriend, she should do something, so after class, she went to the infirmary to buy a box of medicine. he.

In terms of her personality, this is already a very clear expression and very gentle care.

She saw Wu Yuewei, and saw Xu Tingsheng talking to Wu Yuewei, but she didn't hear the content of the conversation, so she didn't think too much about it, she had such a personality.

From Xu Tingsheng's point of view, compared to Wu Yuewei, Yao Jing is a bigger problem. For example, Xu Tingsheng can tell Wu Yuewei that I don't like you, but he can't tell Yao Jing. State, if you say that at this time, will it affect her college entrance examination? After all, it's been more than two months.

"By the way, the college entrance examination."

Xu Tingsheng suddenly felt relieved, he could leave time to solve the problems that could be solved by time, and after the college entrance examination, he would leave by himself and everything would be solved.

"Time, there is still a lot of time." Xu Tingsheng thought of Xiang Ning, and at the same time, two images of her emerged, one was the image of the little wild girl with the sky braids, and the other was the delicate, sweet, gentle and tolerant girl when they fell in love. Xiang Ning. "It's really torture to wait for you to grow up slowly!"

Xu Tingsheng found Huang Yaming and Fu Cheng in the restaurant with two boxes of medicine. The two had already finished cooking and were looking at Xu Tingsheng with wretched smiles on their faces.

Xu Tingsheng pretended not to notice, and buried himself in his meal.

Bao Ming and his group walked in, sat down at a nearby dining table, looked at Xu Tingsheng and the three of them, discussing, and gave them unfriendly looks here and there from time to time.

"It seems that sooner or later we have to do it again." Huang Yaming said.

Fu Cheng shook his head: "It should be the idea of calling my phone."

Huang Yaming thought for a while: "Should I tell them that the photos have been transferred and tell them to give up?"

Xu Tingsheng raised his head and said in a low voice, "Don't say anything. Let's talk about some things. It's better to let them think for themselves. They will think about it. Now...they look at it and we look back. Just calm down and smile." gone."

Bao Ming felt a strong sense of powerlessness. He stared fiercely at him, and the three neuropaths on the opposite side stared at each other. They kept smiling at him, and when he stopped looking, they happily ate and chatted on the opposite side... What's going on? What's the meaning

Originally, he really wanted to force the other party to delete the photos, or simply grab Fu Cheng's phone, but now that the people on the other side seemed confident, Bao Ming thought about it, and felt that they must have saved the photos for backup.

So, is there any need to continue? It doesn't feel good to be held hostage, and it seems unwise to force someone to jump over a wall.

Xu Tingsheng smiled and waved to Bao Ming and nodded, and said with his lips: "Brother, you are righteous enough, right?"

Bao Ming felt that he was going to be driven crazy: "Crazy, fucking crazy!"

After lunch, the three of them wandered to the playground to smoke a cigarette, and sat on the edge of the sunny playground, in the shadow of mottled trees.

Xu Tingsheng actually wanted to ask Fu Cheng and Huang Yaming one thing: how much did they know about singing on the roof of the dormitory, and did they participate

Logically speaking, if this incident really happened, it would definitely not be a trivial matter in Xu Tingsheng's rather ordinary student life in his previous life, and it is impossible for him not to have the slightest impression of it.

But now, when he searches his memory, he has no memory at all, nothing at all.

Xu Tingsheng felt that he might have been wronged and the school had arrested the wrong person, but he couldn't ask. If he really did this thing and it happened not long ago, then his questioning would be very strange. Huang Ya Ming and Fu Cheng will inevitably become suspicious.

It's just a punishment. Xu Tingsheng doesn't care about this small injustice. What he really cares about is that if he really did this thing, but he has no memory... Does it mean that his memory of his previous life has gone wrong? ? That's what's really scary, and it makes the future unpredictable again.

Just when Xu Tingsheng was about to give up, Fu Cheng lit a cigarette and said, "Who played the guitar that night?"

The guy with the guitar? And a guitar? I really did it

Xu Tingsheng was stunned for a while, pretending to be relaxed and said, "I am myself."

"Bullshit," Fu Cheng said, "Your guitar has only been bought for a few days, and it's good to be able to pick it up. Some of the guitar players in the third year of high school told me that the guitar level that night was very high, at least higher than them and me. . Definitely not you."

In Xu Tingsheng's memory, he really couldn't play the guitar, but he knew that Fu Cheng could, and his level was very good. He even participated in competitions in college. So if he said it wasn't him, then he definitely wasn't.

Xu Tingsheng chuckled: "So, in fact, I was wronged."

Huang Yaming took the words: "Fake it with us. That night I watched you get out with the guitar in your arms, and asked you why you went there, but you didn't say anything. I also heard the singing, it was your voice. Later, you seemed to be two people. I didn’t get back until a little later, but I didn’t bring the guitar back.”

"So who the hell is playing the guitar? Can you recommend it to your buddies?" Fu Cheng said.

Xu Tingsheng put out his cigarette, tried his best to calm down and said, "Hey, I won't tell you, let's go, go back to the classroom, and enter the hard study mode."

"Woman?... Damn, what kind of girl is hiding?" Fu Cheng chased after her and asked.

Xu Tingsheng didn't speak.

"It's really me, and there is a person who plays the guitar, he, or she, who is she (he)?...Why is there no relevant impression in my memory?!"

Xu Tingsheng felt a creepy feeling, his body trembled slightly, as if he had been sucked into the deep sea by a vortex, he had difficulty breathing, and it was pitch black all around. The unknown may mean danger, Xu Tingsheng lost the strong sense of controlling everything, and was replaced by panic.

Starting from this afternoon, Xu Tingsheng spent two days carefully comparing everything he saw and heard with his own memory, including the appearances, personalities, representative events of his classmates and teachers, small objects around him, popular The song... There is no deviation in everything, but what is determined in memory is the same as what he saw.

"The only exception is that incident? Well, it's over anyway... it shouldn't be a problem."

Xu Tingsheng comforted himself, people's memory is not 100% reliable, many times, it will be affected by subjective will, deviate from the original appearance.

If a person's memory is compared to the ocean, then not everything floats on the surface of the sea, and those that sink to the bottom of the sea may be buried forever, or may rise due to a certain opportunity.

Just like sometimes a sentence or a scene will suddenly remind you of something that has been forgotten for a long time.

And some things, you may never remember, although it happened and has always been there.

For example, if you can't recite the text in class, your deskmate will give you a reminder, so you remember it. In fact, it has not been forgotten, it is just hidden in the depths, or in a certain corner, covered with dust. That's why the Master said: "Learn and learn from time to time."

Xu Tingsheng told himself: The memory of the previous life is like this, the amount of information is so large and complicated, there are always some things hidden in the bottom of the sea... It is not important, what is important is the part that I can grasp.
