Chapter 16 B-3

However, God did not give Xiang Ning more favors - Xiang Ning failed the college entrance examination that year due to lack of it. Speaking of it, it was really an accident: Xiang Ning's student status was in the provincial capital, and he was supposed to go back to the provincial capital to take the college entrance examination.But on the way back to the provincial capital to take the college entrance examination, Xiang Ning's long-distance bus had an accident, killing 10 passengers and injuring 19 people in the car. . But Sang Li doesn't watch the news, so when Xiang Ning was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, she and Tian Miao were walking happily on the way home—their program won the first prize in the art show, keeping Sang Li's long-standing Tian Miao's undefeated record also made Tian Miao temporarily give up her fighting spirit to be an enemy of Sang Li.

But on the way home, Sang Li wiped his sweat and thought: This summer is really hot, it's suffocatingly hot. It was more than half a month after I finally got the news of Xiang Ning's car accident - the careful Nan Yang found that Xiang Ning's phone calls were always unanswered, so he was very surprised by his friend's bizarre "disappearance".He called Xiang Ning's mother's school with the mentality of "I want to see the dead if I want to live". After countless detours, I learned the news of Xiang Ning's car accident, and cold sweat dripped from the top of my head in an instant.

That night, Nan Yang went home to pack his luggage, and at the same time asked his mother for travel expenses, saying that he would go to the provincial capital to see Xiang Ning. Nanyang's mother naturally disagreed with her son going out at the critical moment of waiting for grades, and she was even more afraid that her son would encounter the same unexpected disaster as Xiang Ning.However, Nanyang's father actually stood by his son this time, comforting his wife: "The son is getting older, and he always has to go out by himself. It's useless if you don't worry about it. You just let him go out, isn't it good?"

Nanyang's mother looked at her man bitterly, finally gave up resistance, and agreed to her son's request, but she wanted to send her son to the train station in person. Before Nan Yang went out, Sang Li and Tian Miao who heard the news also rushed out of the house.The faces of both of them were not very good, but Tian Miao concealed and said nothing, and Sang Li expressed it more bluntly, directly grabbing Nan Yang's arm: "I want to go too." Nan Yang looked at Sang Li in surprise, then at his parents, then at Tian Miao who was behind Sang Li, and comforted her: "I asked, the injury is not serious, there is no use for you to go, just wait at home .”

Sang Libuyi: "I'm going." Nan Yang pressed Sang Li's shoulder with a serious expression: "Xiao Li, how old are you? You don't even have an ID card. Where can you live? Besides, you're a girl, so it's inconvenient to go there. Just wait for me obediently at home. Have him call you." Sang Li bit her lip and finally stopped talking. Nan Yang sighed: "I know you are a kind and righteous girl, we are all friends, and no one wants to see this. But I will not lie to you, he is really fine, just don't worry, I will call you anytime .” With this promise, Sang Li finally let Nan Yang out of the house.Also from that day on, Sang Li kept on the phone throughout the summer vacation.Even after Nan Yang came back from the provincial capital and brought back the news that Xiang Ning had been discharged from the hospital, Sang Li kept guarding his phone and didn't go anywhere.

However, until the summer passed, Nan Yang went to the Department of Political Science and Law of the Provincial Normal University to report, and Sang Li did not wait for a word from Xiang Ning. Then, autumn passed quickly.Nan Yang did not go home on the National Day, saying that he wanted to participate in the celebration activities with his classmates at school.Thus, the last person who could bring news to Xiang Ning also disappeared from Sang Li's sight. In Sangli's almost numb disappointment, the weather gradually cooled down.On the day when the first snow fell, during recess, Sang Li followed a group of classmates with a broom to sweep the snow on the sidewalk at the school gate.It was very cold that day, and Sang Li was wearing a thick down jacket and a fluffy, round white hat that looked like half a Lantern Festival from a distance. Standing in the bitter air, he tried his best to remove the snow that the boys had shoveled up with shovels. Sweep the pieces into the dustpan.While scanning, she heard whispering voices around her. Sang Li looked up without knowing why, but the moment she looked up, she suddenly froze in place.

It's Xiang Ning! At that moment, Sang Li looked at the boy standing not far away without blinking his eyes. He was wearing a dark blue down jacket, carrying a schoolbag that didn't seem to contain much in his hand, and was greeting a few people around him.Sang Li recognized the person standing in front of Xiang Ning as the leader of the third grade team - a little old man in his fifties who smiled and patted Xiang Ning's shoulder affectionately while talking. At that moment, a warm current gushed out from the bottom of Sang Li's heart, rushing towards the limbs and bones.Sang Li's eye sockets were even moist, she didn't know why she had such emotions, but she knew that she was very happy to see Xiang Ning's recovery, very happy to see him standing here intact, smiling perfectly.

At the age of fifteen, Sang Li, who still doesn't know what liking and love is, knows: In this world, there is always one or a few people who are quietly placed in your heart.You don't need to be clear about your feelings for them, but you know you care, terribly. However, Xiang Ning did not look back that day.He didn't look back at Sang Li until he followed the grade leader into the school gate and walked to the high school teaching building. Sang Li comforted himself with some sadness and expectation: he didn't see you, he just didn't see you. She couldn't tell anyone that at that moment, the one thing she wanted to do the most was to rush forward and hug him tightly, and hear him call her "Little Li" with a smile.

She knew: During the five long months of waiting, she really seemed to be waiting for her relatives to come back——relatives as dear as Nan Yang. It wasn't until many years later that she participated in the report performance as an outstanding student and sang "That Sunny Day" on a bright stage, that she knew that Qiaoqiaosang's waiting was just like her waiting for Xiangning that year and that month, with hardships and perseverance , consistently. And, so stubbornly believe: he will come back, he will definitely come back! Xiang Ning did not forget Sang Li. It should even be said that Xiang Ning came back here for Sang Li.

No one wanted to relive the tragic memory of that car accident, but Xiang Ning still recalled it countless times and was glad that he soberly made a judgment to protect himself when the car overturned.He didn't turn into a vegetable, let alone lose his life.When he was lying on the hospital bed, he didn't even have any regrets for his injured arm. He just looked at his mummy-like self covered with plaster and let out a long breath. He has always been an optimistic person, and this optimism swelled to the maximum when he saw Nan Yang who came all the way to visit him—because he suddenly thought that he could repeat his studies for another year and see that very interesting little Sangli again.This kind of joy burned instantly, so much so that he wished to give Nan Yang an octopus-like hug immediately!

That's why he said to the worried Nan Yang on the day Nan Yang reported to the Provincial Normal University: "Don't worry, I will cover your sister, no one will dare to bully her." When he said this, his arms were still hanging on his chest, and his appearance was ridiculous.Nan Yang looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Are you telling the truth? Your mother asked you to go back and borrow it?" This question is really sharp. Sure enough, that night, Ms. Guo Yunhua's answer shook the world: "Go back and borrow it? Impossible!" Ms. Guo deserves to be one of the four major sopranos in the province, and her momentum is quite surging: "Don't even think about it! I have enough regrets now. If I had known such a thing would happen, I would not have gone to Russia! And you Dad, he has been in the organization department for more than ten years, and he can’t go to any department, but he has to go to such a far place to be a poor mayor! If he hadn’t come up with this bad idea, let me send you back to your hometown for borrowing, how could this happen? thing!" After all, she was a mother, and tears fell while talking: "I am just such a son, what should I do if something happens to me? No matter how successful my career is, I still have nothing..." That day, Xiang Ning was also dumbfounded. He had never seen his mother cry: she had always been graceful and beautiful, even though she was in her forties, she was still very beautiful, and she looked radiant on the stage.When she went to the TV station to serve as a judge for the provincial sub-division of the Young Singer Grand Prix, the camera scanned the judges one by one, and she was the only one who looked the best.She has taught at the Academy of Art for 20 years, and her students are all over the world, from the magnificent opera house to the sea, land and air art troupe. She even went to Russia for a one-year visit. It is said that she was welcomed by former students when she got off the plane... Xiang Ning respected and loved her mother very much. However, this was also the first time he resisted his mother's wishes: "Mom, I'm already 18 years old, I know how to treat myself well, don't worry. The teaching over there is stricter than in the provincial capital, and besides, I'm used to the environment there , Now come back to repeat the study, it’s too late to get familiar with the teacher, how can I have enough time? Mom, don’t worry, I will take good care of myself, besides, isn’t there still grandma there? The stewed chicken with pine mushrooms made by grandma is really delicious, mom..." Righteousness is strict until the end, and gradually becomes coquettish and shameless. Xiang Ning said while wiping the goosebumps on his arms and shivering, but looking at his mother's expression, he was clearly persuaded by himself, so he struck while the iron was hot: "Mom, look at my grades. I won’t take the exam so high, because the teachers over there are very strict, and I don’t have time to play basketball. Didn’t you let me take the entrance exam for the University of Foreign Languages ​​to study translation? I dare to enter a better school in 2019, Mom, do you think it’s okay?" ... In this way, Xiang Ning's negotiation was a great success.Until later, he joked that it was the first time in his life that he negotiated with adults, and that negotiation was more challenging than any task he accepted after working.Because I am a government employee after work, winning or losing is just a task.And at 18, he was a mother's son.He can't lose, and neither can mother, because no matter who loses, one party's feelings are bound to be hurt. That night, Xiang Ning fell asleep with a satisfied smile.In the dream, he actually dreamed of Sang Li, dreaming that she smiled so brightly when she saw him, and called him "Brother Xiangning" with a sweet voice.And he still had time to pat her on the head and say, "Don't call me brother." But often, dreams are the opposite.
