Chapter 20 B-7

For Sang Li, the only color in that summer was Xiang Ning. It was one afternoon not long after Nanyang returned to school, and Sang Li was sitting on the steps at the gate of the courtyard, reading a history book bored.As soon as she raised her head, she suddenly saw that figure not far away, a tall and handsome young man... She almost thought it was her hallucination! At that moment, Sang Li was a little dazed, a little uncertain whether that familiar smiling face was real or not. Xiang Ning, shouldn't he stay at home in the provincial capital now? However, in the next second, the doubt was broken by the boy's warm palm: he came over, reached out, pulled her up, stood in front of her, and looked into her eyes with a smile.

He said, "Little Li, don't you know me?" Sang Li's eyes widened suddenly, and he stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek - hiss, it hurts so much! A smile finally appeared on Sang Li's face, she looked overjoyed at the boy in front of her, saw him stunned for a second, then stretched out her right hand, rubbed the red skin on Sang Li's cheek pinched by herself, wondering: "Why are you pinching yourself? Doesn't it hurt?" His voice is so nice, but oh my god, no one can understand and share the excitement in Sangli's heart at this moment! That day, she followed him to the beach, the tide was low, and there were many people rushing to the sea.He held her hand, and searched for the oysters, clams, starfish, and shells brought ashore by the sea on the beach and reefs at dusk... Sang Li's skirt was pulled up high, and a knot was tied above her knees. The golden sand stained the skin of her calves, glistening in the sun.Her smile was bright and bright, even more dazzling than the sun that day.

After dinner that day, Sang Li lied to his father for the first time, saying that he was going to play at a classmate's house.But in fact, she was sitting on the beach with Xiang Ning who sneaked out from her grandma's house, watching the stars and playing with the sand. Xiang Ning smiled at Sangli in the sea breeze at night: "Children only play with sand." Sang Li pursed her lips: "You get old before you get old." Xiang Ning didn't answer, and said after a while, "Xiao Li, I have received the admission notice." "Really?" Sang Li's eyes lit up, "University of Foreign Languages?"

Xiang Ning nodded. "You are so amazing!" The little girl sighed adoringly, staring at the boy in front of her with sincere envy. Xiang Ning smiled, touched Sangli's forehead, and wiped off some fine grains of sand: "I'm going to college, you have to stay here to go to high school by yourself." "Ah—" Sang Li thought for a while: "Will you come back to see me when you are on vacation?" Xiang Ning nodded: "Of course, my grandma's house is here. Even if I don't come here to borrow, I still have to come back to see her with my mother every winter and summer vacation."

"Okay, you go," Sang Li said with a serious expression, "You have to write me a letter, tell me about interesting things in college, and you have to remember to come back to see me, or I will break up with you!" "Write a letter." Xiang Ning's eyes widened, "I haven't written a letter since I grew up." "I haven't received the letter either!" Sang Li insisted. "Okay then," Xiang Ning nodded, "Tell Nan Yang when you know the address of the new class, and he will tell me." Seeing Sangli smile heartily, Xiang Ning thought for a while and asked, "Xiao Li, do you still want to learn to sing?"

"Of course!" Sang Li replied quickly. "So, do you want to be admitted to the Academy of Art?" Xiang Ning asked again. "Of course." Sang Li looked at Xiang Ning strangely, as if he had never asked such a serious topic before. "It's not that simple to be admitted to an art college. If you don't study a major and can't pass the professional exam, then you can't take the college entrance exam as an art student, you know?" Sang Li shook his head. "When I come back this time, I also want to ask you, do you want to study with my mother?"

"Really?" Sang Li was a little surprised, "Nan Yang said that your mother sings very well." Xiang Ning nodded, and it seemed that she was not stingy in her praise of her mother's vocal achievements: "She is a professor in the Music Department of the Academy of Arts, and one of the top four sopranos in the province. Tell her. You just need to concentrate on your studies and don't worry about anything else." "No tuition fee?" Sang Li asked puzzled. Xiang Ning smiled: "You are Nan Yang's younger sister, do you still need tuition?"

It turned out that it was just because Nan Yang's younger sister—Sang Li grasped this point sensitively, she was a little unhappy. Xiang Ning could see it, but he didn't dare to say something too clearly, and he was struggling a bit. Time passed quietly, and they sat side by side on the beach without talking, separated by about one person's position. After a long time, Sang Li lowered his head and said in a low voice while digging the sand, "Thank you." Xiang Ning's heart softened, and he finally stretched out his hand and called the girl in front of him, "Xiao Li?"

Sang Li looked up and saw Xiang Ning sitting on the beach, and opened his arms to himself: "Come here, let brother hug you." That warm embrace and the bright moonlight that day were all as beautiful as in a fairy tale. Sang Li remembered that he hugged Xiang Ning's neck tightly, and Xiang Ning said with a smile: "Xiao Li, are you going to strangle me to death?" Sang Li didn't answer, but just put his head on his shoulder.The girl's breath was soft, and there was the scent of shampoo in her hair, blowing over with the sea breeze, blowing straight into Xiang Ning's heart.He sniffed hard, didn't speak, just tightened his arm again.Sang Li felt it, and pushed hard into his arms.

Under the reflection of the sky full of stars, there are many couples standing shoulder to shoulder and lovers embracing each other on the beach.But which one they belong to, even they themselves don't know.At that moment, maybe it was just an instinct, I just wanted to snuggle together like this, and feel a little more warm and sweet time before parting. In fact, the weather in July is still a bit hot. Even though it is night, the humidity of the seaside gradually gathers a thin layer of sweat on people's skin.After about a long time, Sang Li could feel the slight wetness on Xiang Ning's shoulders, and then he raised his head and looked at him brightly, making him lower his head and call her: "Xiao Li..."

"Huh?" Sang Li agreed, with a happy look on his childish face. Xiang Ning smiled, stretched out his hand to stroke Sang Li's long hair, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Li, you must study hard, and when I come back from the winter vacation with my mother, I will take you to see her. From now on, you will learn from her. , I will definitely be admitted to university. When you pass the exam and I will graduate soon, I will go back to the provincial capital to work, and I can take you to eat delicious food every day, okay?" Sang Li was indeed very happy, and replied beamingly: "Okay!" Xiang Ning smiled, and he sighed while laughing: "Xiao Li, you are really a child." After a pause, Sangli heard him say in a voice that only she could hear: "When will I wait until you grow up..." His sigh was so clear that Sang Li couldn't understand: I'm already sixteen years old, isn't it old enough? In fact, at that time, Sang Li didn't understand why he had such a dependence on Xiang Ning. But she knew that after waiting for so long, she could finally feel at ease now—it seemed that as long as he was there, she could feel at ease. As long as he is there.
