Chapter 83
Chapter 83
Li Siying returned to school after the Lantern Festival, and started school two days later than Xu Tinglan.
Life is like the water in Z Dadong Lake, calm and calm.During this period of time, Li Siying always felt that something was missing. It wasn't until Guo Yuling, who was typing a dungeon that day, suddenly mentioned, "Why hasn't that little fresh boy come to pester you recently?", she realized that it turned out to be something missing. noisy.
Thinking about it carefully, it was true that I hadn't received a text message from Hou Hao for a while. Just when Li Siying was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the familiar tail number at night appeared in front of Li Siying again along with the caller ID prompt.
This surprised Li Siying quite a bit - although Hou Hao had been brushing up his presence for a while, it was all in the form of text messages, and it was the first time he had called directly.
Li Siying thought about it, and then picked it up.
"Senior sister, it's me, Hou Hao, that... I'm sorry to bother you so late." Hou Hao's voice on the phone was a bit twitchy, which was slightly different from the straightforward him in the past few days.
Li Siying didn't have much emotion, and said lightly: "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
Hou Hao hesitated for a while on the other end of the phone, as if deliberating for a while, and then said: "Well, which university does Senior Qingqing belong to? Senior sister, can you tell me?"
Li Siying seemed to have heard something, glanced at the corner of her mouth, and laughed secretly, guessing that Hou Hao probably had an interest in Qingqing.
It is said that Hou Hao's conditions are good, he looks sunny and handsome, looks fair, and has a personality that he has never gotten along with, but judging from this period of time, he is still relatively gentle.If you like someone, you will chase them silently, and if you can't catch them, you won't feel like rushing to the sky. Anyway, the text messages reported on time didn't make Li Siying feel too much disgust.
It's just that since the time when Li Houhao and Huang Qingqing met, it's only been a few days so far, so the speed of seeing each other is a bit too fast. Is this the legendary "love at first sight"?Thinking of this, Li Siying held back a smile and said jokingly: "Didn't you leave each other's contact information? If you are curious, just ask her directly."
Hou Hao: "Then what... I saw that her birthday is coming up on QQ. I wanted to appear in front of her and surprise her, but she refused to say which school she was from."
Hearing what Hou Hao said, Li Siying had an idea in her heart, thinking that Huang Qingqing also had feelings for Hou Hao to some extent.If Huang Qingqing hadn't been distracted, she would never go around in circles with Hou Hao just like her.
However, Li Siying would not tell Hou Hao these words no matter what. After all, the relationship is a matter between two people, so she could only reply ambiguously: "If I tell you behind her back, she will be anxious with me. The three universities, you slowly insinuated and said hello."
After finishing speaking, there was no room for Hou Hao to bargain, so he hung up the phone on the pretext that someone came to look for him in the dormitory.
The next day, Li Siying received a text message from Huang Qingqing.
"Siying, do you think it's reliable to find someone younger than you to fall in love with?"
The pupils in Li Siying's eyes shrank, and she instinctively wanted to refute: Is it unreliable to find someone younger than yourself to fall in love with?So he replied Huang Qingqing angrily: "I am eight years younger than Teacher Xu, do you think I am reliable?"
After a while, Huang Qingqing called directly, and the first sentence was sarcasm: "Tsk tsk tsk, don't mention it, the Red Army's long march has successfully joined forces for two years. You said how many years have you been? When will you be able to join forces?" ?”
Li Siying laughed and scolded: "Go away, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, don't you know that there will be another eight years of the Anti-Japanese War?" Then he turned serious and said: "Whether it is reliable or not depends on your own feelings."
Huang Qingqing became a little anxious, and shouted: "Oh, it's useless to ask you. He said he would celebrate my birthday, do you think I agree or not?!"
This question is not easy to answer, Li Siying weighed it and said: "If you feel that way, you might as well try it, if you don't feel it, forget it."
Huang Qingqing looked like she was chatting with a mentally handicapped person, and said angrily, "I want to know if I feel it, why should I ask you." This day, she was so restless that she ended the conversation hastily.
Not long after, Hou Hao sent a text message: "Sister, Qingqing told me the address of the school! You said I asked her to watch a movie and have dinner, would she agree?"
Li Siying could feel Hou Hao's excitement through the screen. Dare Huang Qingqing's iron tree to bloom?Replied: "Dine and watch movies, friends will also do it, and you should not refuse. Just grasp the rhythm and don't be too impatient."
Hou Hao: "Do you think it's better for me to choose romance movies or comedy movies?"
Li Siying thought for a while and replied, "You can let Qing Qing choose."
After Li Siying sent this sentence, she felt ominous, and sure enough, Huang Qingqing's text message came seamlessly in the next second: "Tell me, this is the first time I'm watching a movie with a boy, what movie should I choose? "
Li Siying shuttled between the two of them, and instantly felt like one person was playing two roles, and she was falling in love with herself.
Li Siying secretly thought it was funny, she couldn't figure it out no matter what, Hou Hao and Huang Qingqing were both carefree and straight-tempered.How come when it's time to talk about love, they are all awkward and cramped.
After a few days, after Hou Hao and Huang Qingqing confirmed their relationship, they must tell Xu Tinglan their love development history as a story.
In more than a month, Xu Tinglan's birthday will be coming.
Li Siying opened her English dictionary, and there were three red maple leaves she had collected since last fall, spread paper towels on them to absorb water, and pressed them into the dictionary to shape them.She learned the process of making bookmarks online, bought cold lamination film, and planned to make bookmarks from red maple leaves and give them to Xu Tinglan.
Considering that he has no job yet and is in short supply, Li Siying can't give a cheap gift.So, after much deliberation, the only option is to take some handmade gadgets and give them to Xu Tinglan as birthday presents.Like her, Xu Tinglan likes to read books, and Xu Tinglan would be happy if she could send a few bookmarks made by herself.
Xu Tinglan's birthday is on Monday.Li Siying planned to tell Xu Tinglan that she would celebrate her birthday with her on Monday.Otherwise, with Xu Tinglan's character, she must have advised herself not to run around like that.
After finishing the morning class on Monday, she returned directly from Ying City to Peng City, and arrived at Xu Tinglan's residence just after three o'clock in the afternoon.
After buying vegetables, I went to a nearby cake shop to pick up the birthday cake I pre-ordered two weeks ago, and when I returned home, I started washing vegetables.
At five o'clock in the evening, Li Siying sent a text message to Xu Tinglan: "There is a snail girl at home who cooked food for you, come back early to eat?"
Xu Tinglan actually had some feelings about the surprise Li Siying gave her today, but it was just a guess.Today, Teacher Wang asked her to go out for dinner to celebrate her birthday, but she always had a hunch that Li Siying might come over. After thinking about it, she rejected Teacher Wang's kindness.
as predicted.
She decided to tease her: "You didn't say it earlier, Teacher Wang invited me to dinner tonight. Don't you have class today? Did you skip class?"
Li Siying happily opened the text message, and when she saw the content, her mood fell to the bottom in an instant. She was lucky that Xu Tinglan would not have to study late tonight. She knew that Xu Tinglan's father used to only celebrate her birthday in the lunar calendar, but she forgot that Xu Tinglan might have a relationship with someone else today. dinner.
I had no choice but to reply pitifully: "I have classes in the morning, and I'll be back in the afternoon. I will go back to school early tomorrow morning. Can you save half of your stomach and come back and taste my cooking?"
Xu Tinglan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and she could imagine the child typing helplessly with her lips pursed.
This is the last self-study class. Xu Tinglan sat on the empty seat in the last row of the classroom, replied "Then I will try to come back as soon as possible", put down the phone, and continued to correct yesterday's in-class test paper, but she was a little absent-minded .
The countdown to the college entrance examination entered, and the whole atmosphere in the class spontaneously became a lot more solemn, and the self-study class also disappeared from casual chatting, and occasionally whispered and asked questions.
In the third year of high school, this group of children matured a lot at once.In fact, leading the third year of high school is the hardest but also the most gratifying.The amount of homework, the amount of tests, and the increased evening self-study, etc., the intensity is different from that of senior one and senior two, especially in the next semester, one test for two days, one test for three days, and even the homework is a test paper .After the students have done it, the teacher will naturally correct it and explain it.Xu Tinglan sometimes felt that the test papers tortured not only the students, but also the teachers.
Every time Li Siying came over, she would buy a few boxes of throat lozenges and bring them to prepare, just like the ones she prepared for herself in high school.Xu Tinglan looked at the student who was working hard, and felt distressed and regretful in her heart. In the third year of high school, when the child was the most difficult and tiring, she did not spend it with her.
Li Siying is not the smartest student she has ever met, but she is the most well-behaved and sensible student she has ever seen, and also the student who is most considerate of her.
When Xu Tinglan returned to her apartment after school, she saw that the kitchen was still full of smoke, and Siying seemed to be chopping something inside, but she didn't hear her opening the door.
Xu Tinglan put down her bag and came to the door of the kitchen. Afraid of scaring her, she knocked on the sliding door glass of the kitchen.
Li Siying turned around when she heard the sound, and the moment she saw her, her entire facial features were flying, and her mood was extremely bright.
Opening the incubator, Li Siying took out a plate of white and oily white-cut chicken, and said with the freshly chopped sauce in one hand, "Didn't you say that you have a dinner appointment with Teacher Wang, haven't you gone?"
Xu Tinglan helped serve the dishes, and said stubbornly: "Next time you make a surprise attack, maybe I really have an appointment with someone. At that time, I won't leave half of my stomach to you."
Li Siying responded with a playful smile, but what she thought in her heart was: the next surprise must be foolproof.
After the dishes were served, Li Siying took out the cake from the refrigerator.
Xu Tinglan smiled, helped her unpack the cake box, and said, "Two people, one cake can't finish it." In fact, she didn't want Li Siying to spend money for her. Now, as long as that child likes her, the rest of her She doesn't make any demands, but Li Siying can always give her unexpected warmth and surprises.
"I bought the smallest one, 6 inches. If you can't finish it, you can eat it for breakfast tomorrow morning." Li Siying took out the candles she had prepared in advance, and lightly plugged them in.
Xu Tinglan saw the words "Teacher: Happy Birthday" written on the cake, but there were two hearts framed beside it, and said with a smile: "You are a teacher and a caring person, and you are not afraid that people in the cake shop will laugh at you. "
"I love and respect my teacher. Is there any problem?" Li Siying said without blushing, took out the lighter I bought downstairs, lit a candle, and watched intently in the cheerfully flickering flames. Following Xu Tinglan, she sang slowly: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
Xu Tinglan was both ashamed and happy in her blessings, and her heart softened into Wangze.
There is nothing more gratifying than having her love.
After Li Siying sang the birthday song, she walked over, gently embraced her waist, and said affectionately, "Make a wish."
Xu Tinglan looked at Li Siying who was close at hand with gentle eyes, and saw her own figure in her dark eyes, and the world seemed to be only looking at each other in their eyes.At this time, she has only one thought in her heart, hoping that in the years to come, they can cooperate, accompany and love each other.
Seeing that Xu Tinglan didn't respond for a long time, Li Siying smiled and said, "Why are you in a daze, that candle can't stand burning, hurry up and make a wish."
Xu Tinglan turned her face away, and blew out the candle amidst Li Siying's exclamation: "It's a promise."
"It's the first time I've seen someone make a wish without closing their eyes." Li Siying muttered.
The two ate dinner talking and laughing.Li Siying took Xu Tinglan to the living room, and took out two maple leaf bookmarks from her schoolbag.When the other piece was plastic-packed, the strength was not mastered, and the maple leaf had been pressed dry by Li Siying, so it broke a seam, and she discarded it.Fortunately, the other two pieces were made into bookmarks unscathed.
At first glance, Xu Tinglan thought she bought it, it was simple but exquisite, but in the maple leaf bookmark made by Li Siying, there was also a piece of paper under the maple leaf, each with a sentence written on it.
"I cannot choose the best, the best choose me."
"I want to be with someone who, even after being together for ten years, the sound of her key opening the door can still make my heart skip a beat."
The first sentence, Xu Tinglan knew, was from Tagore. She knew that Li Siying liked his "Flying Bird Collection". She had seen several pages of consecutive excerpts of Tagore's poems in her notebook before.
But Xu Tinglan had never heard the second sentence.But after reading it, I feel warm in my heart, and I feel a long-lasting feeling.
After reading the notes, Xu Tinglan realized that this might not be bought. She was amazed by this ingenuity, and asked uncertainly, "You made this?"
The unconcealable surprise on Xu Tinglan's face made Li Siying feel a little proud, she grinned and nodded.
Xu Tinglan couldn't put it down to the two bookmarks, and Li Siying took out a black pen case from her schoolbag and handed it to her like a magic trick.
"Huh? Is there a gift?" Xu Tinglan knew it was Parker's pen from the logo, and said softly, "Isn't there a gift? Why did you spend money to buy me a pen?"
Li Siying looked at her stubbornly, her eyes suddenly became hot, she seemed to think of something, she blinked, put her emotions away, put the pen case into her hand as if nothing had happened, and said, "I was going to send you off when I was a sophomore in high school. If you don't accept it again, I will take it back completely."
Xu Tinglan froze for a moment, and the smile froze on her face.The scene in the second year of high school, traveling through these years, came to my mind.
At that time, Li Siying was carrying a gift bag. Xu Tinglan still remembers that the delicate latte art was still purple, but she didn't even look at the gift at that time, and ran away without asking, leaving it to her. Resolutely turned around.
Taking the pen case, Xu Tinglan's eyes sparkled.
Li Siying watched her take it, and felt that a knot that had been stuck in her heart for many years was finally untied.
This pen seems to draw a circle for all the chasing and escaping between them in the past. Although they went around, they are still together in the end.
Li Siying took a sip from the corner of her mouth, and after stealing the fragrance, she patted Xu Tinglan on the shoulder and asked her to take a bath first. She was in a good mood, and got up to wash the dishes.
After Xu Tinglan finished washing, she sat on the sofa in the living room in her pajamas.Li Siying just entered the bathroom to take a shower.
She opened the pen case, and inside was a red Parker pen.Pulling off the cap of the pen, she was surprised to find that Li Siying had filled her with red ink carefully and considerately.
Xu Tinglan has never used Parker's pen. I remember seeing a Parker advertisement on TV a long time ago: Someone tested and threw Parker's pen on the floor like a dart, and the tip of the pen was inserted obliquely. The floor, pulled out, can still write smoothly.
She wanted to try to write, but she looked around, but couldn't find the book. She glanced at Li Siying's schoolbag and saw that there seemed to be a book in it, so she took it out, but when she opened it, she found that it was the child's account book.
It wasn't intentional to look at it, but after sweeping the corner of his eyes, he saw a lot of records related to himself.
It's a bit like keeping an account like a diary. It will write down the date and where I took her to eat and how much it cost.I didn't tell her the price of the mountain bike last time, but it said three thousand and two in the notebook. She should have checked the model online.There are many more like this...
Xu Tinglan's eyes sank, looking at the dense records, she couldn't tell what it was like.She never cared about these things, but Li Siying recorded them in such detail, but she felt a different feeling in her heart.
Although reason told her that Li Siying probably didn't mean to care about what she recorded, but she couldn't help but have other not-so-good guesses.
Does Li Siying also have concerns about their relationship, does she also feel that she might not make it to the end?So I have to remember all this clearly, so that I can thoroughly settle the past with myself in the future?
Xu Tinglan was stung by this thought.In fact, she doesn't have to be like this. She never thought of taking back what she gave to her. Even if she wants to leave her one day in the future, she will do so voluntarily.
At this time, the phone on the coffee table vibrated. It was Li Siying's phone, and it showed that a text message had come in.
Xu Tinglan didn't care, she closed the book silently, and put it back in her schoolbag.The pen was also put on and put in the box.When she turned around and wanted to go back to her room, the phone on the coffee table vibrated again, several times in a row.
She glanced at the bathroom, and there was still the faint sound of splashing water in it.Suddenly, she walked back, stared at the phone for a few seconds, picked it up, and did something she herself despises.
Li Siying came out of the shower and saw that Xu Tinglan had already gone to the bedroom, so she tidied up, turned off the living room light, and entered the bedroom.
Xu Tinglan had already laid down with her back to the door.
Li Siying was a little surprised, it was only before 9 o'clock.
He got on the bed softly, leaned over, and put his arms around Xu Tinglan's waist.
After a while, Li Siying gradually felt something was wrong.Xu Tinglan kept his back to her, and put his arms around her waist, but she didn't cover her arms like usual.
Li Siying thought she was not feeling well, so she got up and looked over, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Xu Tinglan had already calmed down her emotions, but when she asked her, she didn't know why, and began to feel sad again, her eyes turned red unconsciously.
All this did not escape Li Siying's eyes.But she really couldn't figure it out, before she went to take a bath, Xu Tinglan was still fine, why did something suddenly go wrong after taking a bath for less than half an hour.
Xu Tinglan shook her head and said hoarsely, "It's okay, go to sleep."
Now Li Siying panicked, it was obviously not because she was unwell, but something must have happened.But Xu Tinglan kept saying "it's okay" as if she didn't want to talk about it, she was invulnerable to oil and salt, and she was invulnerable, so Li Siying had no way of knowing what happened.
Xu Tinglan kept her back to her all the time, Li Siying lay back on the bed, looked at her back, was close at hand, but did not dare to go up to hug her.
Not long ago, the two of them were still affectionate, and Li Siying couldn't figure out why the time for taking a bath had turned upside down.Did I do something wrong?
The two of them maintained this posture for most of the night.Li Siying looked at Xu Tinglan's back and knew that she was still asleep. After thinking about it, she was still puzzled, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. Even if she did something wrong, Xu Tinglan could tell her why she was so wrong If you don't communicate, you will be sulking.
This back view is like the distance between her and Xu Tinglan before, it is cold, no matter how eager her gaze is, she doesn't bother to look at it or pay attention to it.
Xu Tinglan knew that the person behind her was also up all the time, so maybe she just looked at her like that.But how would she open her mouth, ask Li Siying why she had to record every detail of her relationship with her, and ask her why there are so many SMS chat records with an unfamiliar number?I shamelessly looked at her privacy, how could I have the nerve to ask.
Xu Tinglan didn't read much at that time, and didn't go in to see the specific content of the text messages. She just checked the records outside and found a number with a lot of text messages.She didn't dare to look any further, but she couldn't help feeling faintly worried that one day, her concerns would become reality.
All the uneasiness and sadness came from her guess, and she didn't know how to talk to Li Siying.
But when she heard Li Siying's sobbing, Xu Tinglan couldn't bear it any longer, turned around, and saw that her eyes were red, and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, which flowed down to her lips, and she was wiping them with her hands.
When Xu Tinglan saw her crying, her heart was clenched together, she couldn't care about anything else, she took out a tissue in a panic, and wiped her tears with distress.
Li Siying turned around shyly and angrily.
Xu Tinglan hesitated for a few seconds, then reached out and hugged her tightly, and apologized guiltily: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
She shouldn't have vented her random speculation and anxiety on Li Siying for no reason.
Between lovers, the worst thing is cold violence.
Li Siying choked up and said: "If I did something wrong, you can tell me, and I will definitely change it. But don't ignore me like before..."
Xu Tinglan's body froze suddenly, it was her negligence, it was her fault.In the past, the child liked me, how hard and difficult it was, how could I have the heart to give her a cold back.The guilt in my heart was overwhelming, so I could only hug her tightly, and comforted her over and over again: "I'm sorry, I am in a bad mood, so I shouldn't ignore you."
Li Siying turned around, her eyes were still red and swollen, and asked, "Why are you in a bad mood?"
Xu Tinglan was at a loss for words for a while, so she had to blushed and admitted: "I'm sorry, I peeked at your notebook."
Only then did Li Siying suddenly realize that the book was originally brought back to school during the winter vacation, but she didn't remember anything during this time, so she kept forgetting it in her schoolbag.Hastily explained: "It's not what you think, I'm not trying to settle accounts with you."
Xu Tinglan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with pity: "I understand, I was just thinking wildly."
Li Siying still wanted to make it clear: "I know, when two people are together, there's no need to worry too much about it. Later...after I graduate and work, I can naturally stand side by side with you, and... I can also be with you Take on our lives. I just want to remember the kindness you have done to me, and I will cherish and love you in the same way in the future."
Xu Tinglan listened to her intermittent talk, her heart was warmed up a little bit, and she felt more ashamed of her random speculation before, she lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and confessed: "I also looked at your phone, you took a shower Then the phone vibrated several times."
Li Siying finally knew the source of this woman's wild thoughts today, and she was immediately amused and angry.
Laughing so that this woman, who is usually as stable as Mount Tai, would also feel that inexplicable jealousy, so angry that she had no confidence in herself.
"Did you see a string of numbers without a name? That was my junior, yes, he liked me before, but I didn't pay much attention to him at first, so I didn't even save the number. Then there was a coincidence When I was having dinner with Huang Qingqing and the others, I happened to meet him, and he met Huang Qingqing's eyes, begging me to tell her about Huang Qingqing, so there have been a lot of text messages recently." Li Siying finished speaking in one breath, without saying a word. Take a break.
After hearing her explanation, Xu Tinglan wanted to get under the quilt directly, her eyes wandered from side to side, but she didn't dare to look at Li Siying.
Li Siying sighed.
Xu Tinglan raised her head anxiously, like a child who has done something wrong, and said cautiously: "It's my fault, don't sigh."
Li Siying pinched her face, and said angrily: "You said, it's almost dawn after a good night, eaten by your jealousy."
Xu Tinglan also felt that she was wrong today, because she was possessed by a dramatist all night, thinking all kinds of wild things.In the final analysis, it still stems from my own inner worries.
Li Siying put her face close, rubbed the tip of her nose with her nose, and said softly: "Ting Lan, promise me, if you have something on your mind, tell me not to be bored. The end of many relationships is caused by dissatisfaction." Exchanges, and then more and more suspicions and disappointments accumulate, and finally get out of hand."
Xu Tinglan felt that the more she lived, the more she went back, and it was not that she did not understand these principles.It's just that I don't know why, today's emotions just can't be controlled by myself.I want to adjust it myself, but I can't do it. In the end, I need the younger one to unravel myself.
"Well, I promise you. Go to bed early." Xu Tinglan felt very distressed when she thought that she would have to get up early to go back to school the next day, and turned off the lights.Lying beside her, he reached out and stroked her eyebrows, drawing her eyebrows over and over again.
Li Siying was indeed sleepy. In Xu Tinglan's arms, feeling her caress and smelling the familiar fragrance, she soon fell asleep.
