Chapter 27 B-5

A week later, the summer vacation is finally over.Xiang Ning started school, and Sang Li also left the provincial capital by train to go back to school.At the beginning of the new semester, she was assigned to the ordinary liberal arts class. During the breaks between studies, she continued to write to Xiang Ning: Brother Xiang Ning, do you know that our new class teacher taught you mathematics before, and she always mentioned you, Hehe, Brother Nanyang is mentioned occasionally.Every time she talks about you, she will mention your heroic deeds in solving a problem in 4 ways in your homework, saying that you are open-minded, hardworking and studious.She also said that she will ask you to give us a report in the future, will you come?You must come...

When writing this, Sang Li had a pure expectation, which seemed to be a girl's little vanity.It seems that he especially hopes that one day Xiang Ning will stand on the podium and accept the envious and admiring looks of his classmates.And at that time, she could think very proudly in her heart: so many people like such an excellent Xiang Ning, but he only likes me. However, what Sang Li didn't expect was that shortly after New Year's Day, when she was complaining in her heart that Xiang Ning didn't reply to her letter on time, during a certain self-study class, she was surprised to find that the person who followed the head teacher into the classroom With a tall and handsome figure, who is it not Xiang Ning? !

At that moment, Sang Li opened her mouth wide in surprise, and her surprised expression fell into Xiang Ning's eyes immediately, which caused Xiang Ning's smile to become warmer and more beautiful! Sang Li listened blankly to the head teacher's introduction: "Students, this is the student Xiang Ning I mentioned. He scored 149 in English and 136 in Mathematics in the college entrance examination. Now we ask him to introduce his learning experience to us. Welcome!" There was thunderous applause in the classroom, and Sang Li looked around secretly, and found that the girls' eyes were bright, and he could even hear the girl next door whispering to the girl in the front seat, "So handsome, so handsome" and so on. Sang Li couldn't help but want to laugh.

She stared intently at Xiang Ning on the podium, and saw that he was wearing a smoke gray turtleneck sweater, looking so elegant and bright.When he speaks, his voice is so beautiful.His speech is very organized: first, second, again; first, second, third... That day, Sang Li happened to be sitting in the third row directly opposite the podium. She straightened up quietly, and greeted Xiang Ning's seemingly inadvertent gaze with a shallow smile.Xiang Ning talked about his learning experience for about 20 minutes, and then began to introduce university life.He talked about the music festivals, buffet parties, and mock press conferences organized by the German students. He mentioned which important diplomatic activities and international conferences his brothers and sisters have performed as simultaneous interpreters. "Handbook"... So many rich university fragments, soon the children in the audience who were shackled in the college entrance examination and dazed were excited to hear it!

Sang Li secretly lowered his head and smiled when he saw the envious expressions of his classmates.Xiang Ning saw the corners of Sang Li's lips curled up, and didn't know why she was smiling, but he kept his composure and continued talking.The whole speech lasted about 40 minutes, and then began to ask questions freely, with various questions. The first question: What is the best snack in Germany? Xiang Ning thought for a while, then smiled and looked at the audience: "Maybe this question was asked by a girl? I don't like snacks, but according to the girls in our class, German chocolate and gummy bears are quite good."

The second question: Brother, did you feel sleepy when you were in high school?What if you are sleepy? Xiang Ning smiled again: "Frankly speaking, I don't often get sleepy, because I study more efficiently, so I can ensure adequate sleep. I don't think that blindly staying up late will definitely improve your grades. If you nap while staying up late, the study efficiency will increase." Must be low." The third question: Brother, do you have a girlfriend? As soon as the question was announced, there was an uproar in the audience.Everyone whispered excitedly. They didn't know who asked the question, but they were all excited.Looking at the pot of porridge under the stage, the homeroom teacher standing aside began to stare: "Who asked this question? Can't you ask something related to study?"

But the students in the audience were already excited, looking forward to Xiang Ning who was smiling helplessly on the stage, some girls in the front row began to chatter: "Tell me, brother, tell me." Xiang Ning shook his head with a smile, cleared his throat, and the audience immediately fell silent.He looked into those curious and kind eyes, and the children's faces were full of interest.He looked at Sang Li, and saw that she was also looking at him with interest, with a look of enjoyment on her face.He secretly scolded this little girl in his heart - if it wasn't for her letter, why would he agree to the class teacher's invitation?

After thinking about it, Xiang Ning smiled under the stands, glanced at the girls with bright eyes evenly, and replied in a gentle voice: "I have a girl I like very much, but she hasn't agreed to be my girlfriend yet, and I don't want to be my girlfriend." Waiting." Ah - there was a mixed exclamation of curiosity and disappointment from the audience, Xiang Ning smiled and looked in Sangli's direction, and he seemed to be able to see her slightly blushing face from less than two meters away. She lowered her head and stopped looking at him, but he knew that she must be smiling.

When the bell rang for the end of the fourth class in the afternoon, Xiang Ning said goodbye with a smile and left amidst thunderous applause from everyone.It was said that the head teacher was going to invite Xiang Ning to dinner that night, so Sang Li watched Xiang Ning disappear from the corridor with regret.After dinner, the evening self-study began. Everyone came out of the excitement in the afternoon and continued to do their own exercises in a peaceful manner.But Sang Li couldn't help but think of Xiang Ning's appearance. When she looked up, she seemed to see Xiang Ning's shadow on the empty podium.But when she thinks about it, she will think of his sentence "I'm waiting too". She knows that he refers to the college entrance examination that determines the future of each other. Thinking of this, she quickly restrains her mind and throws herself into the vast sea of ​​exercises .

During the self-study next night, she walked on the way home by herself as usual.It's winter, she rubbed her hands and thought: I wonder if Xiang Ning has finished dinner?is he at home nowHmph, I don't even know to come and see me... Just as he was thinking like this, he was suddenly dragged by a huge force behind him. Sang Li was startled, and just about to scream, he heard a familiar voice in his ear: "Xiao Li, where are your gloves?" Sang Li turned her head, and Xiang Ning was looking at her with a smile under the street lamp, she yelled "ah", and threw herself into Xiang Ning's arms without thinking.Xiang Ning laughed out loud, and reached out to hug Sang Li: "Isn't it cold?"

Sang Li nodded: "I forgot the gloves in the classroom." Xiang Ning patted Sang Li's forehead helplessly: "Why don't you forget yourself?" As he spoke, he took off the glove on his right hand and handed it to Sang Li: "Put it on your right hand." Sang Li looked at the glove, wondering: "What about the left hand?" Xiang Ning smiled softly. He carefully put the glove on Sang Li's hand, then held Sang Li's left hand tightly with his right hand, put it in the pocket of his down jacket, and looked at Sang Li again: "This way, it's okay. gone?" Sang clenched Xiang Ning's hand tightly, and then straightened the five fingers of his right hand to shake, watching his hand dangling in Xiang Ning's big glove, the more he watched, the happier he was.Her walking steps also became very brisk, and she skipped and jumped. The snow on the road hadn't melted yet, so Xiang Ning had no choice but to grab the little girl who was getting carried away, and told her, "Don't jump, the road is slippery." Before the words fell, Sang Li had already slid out screaming "Ah", Xiang Ning panicked, and before he could make a move, Sang Li had already slipped and fell to the ground. With a "bang", the moment the two landed on the ground, countless residual snow splashed up.It was only when Xiang Ning stood up that he realized that both Sang Li and himself were already covered in snow. Xiang Ning couldn't help laughing when he saw that he was covered in snow scum.Sang Li struggled to get up from the snow, saw a large white area behind Xiang Ning, and pointed at him with a smile: "Brother, you seem to have a white turtle shell on your back." Xiang Ning couldn't laugh or cry: "Nonsense, what kind of metaphor is this!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently patted those snowflakes behind Sang Li's back.Sang Li let him take pictures, but felt very warm in his heart—as if he was a toddler, if he fell down, his parents would pat the dirt on his body lovingly. And these, she has never experienced. Sang Li's eye sockets were a little sore again, she lowered her head as if to cover up, but saw his white steam rippling into a small warm ball in front of her.She stared blankly at the good-looking boy in front of her—his eyes were gentle, his palms were wide, and his breath had a mint-like aroma that permeated the winter night. That night, Sang Li suffered from insomnia again. Behind the curtain, she stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, and could vaguely hear Tian Miao's even breathing.Xiang Ning's smile, Xiang Ning's voice, and Xiang Ning's saying "I have a girl I like very much, but she hasn't agreed to be my girlfriend yet, I'm waiting"... She remembered what he said on the way home, "Xiao Li, you must go to college, so that you can sing every day, and you don't have to learn math that you hate. By then, I will also be an intern in my senior year." , I will go back to the provincial capital for an internship, and we can see each other every day"... In the dark night, Sang Li never seemed to be like this. She felt that she was also a very happy person—in order to sing, she had to be admitted to university, and after she was admitted to university, she could be with Xiang Ning—her life goal was It is equal to happiness in life, and while obtaining happiness, the goal has been achieved! In the darkness, Sang Li suddenly felt that she had infinite power: the future was full of temptations, and she had to move forward and use all her strength to change this future. She has to go to college! But—what if you fail the exam? In the cold air, she thought sadly: If she fails to enter the university, she really seems to be unable to do anything, and the beautiful scenery of happiness that she imagined now will be far away from her... Therefore, she must enter the university. Only in this way will there be a way out... In this way, that night, this sudden cognition made Sangli panic and anxious for a long time afterwards. That was also the first time that Sang Li used heavy reality to pressurize herself beyond her ideals. For this reason, she left early and returned late.But fortunately, the results of doing so are very obvious: First, although Sang Li's final exam score is not very high, it is enough to reach the score line of the music college entrance examination; I haven't said much, and it seems that everything is getting better and better. In the summer vacation of the second year of high school, Sang Li went to the provincial capital to study with Guo Yunhua again.Coincidentally, this time Xiang Ning wanted to participate in school activities and did not go home for the summer vacation, while Nan Yang stayed in school to attend remedial classes because he had to take the postgraduate entrance examination and did not go home.Therefore, this trip to the provincial capital became Nanyang and Sangli's day-to-day get-together in addition to professional study. When Sang Li followed Nan Yang to visit the male dormitory of the Normal University for the first time, the rate of turning his head back was as high as 150% while walking on the road—the reason why there was a fraction was because one out of every two boys would look back twice. Second-rate. Sang Li didn't think it was strange, anyway, Zhaohua was used to all kinds of pointing and pointing, and this kind of obviously admiring gaze from the normal university was simply too ordinary and warm for Sang Li.She was so happy that she was beside Nan Yang, grabbed his arm, and chattered along the way: "Brother, what does that sculpture mean; Brother, what does that sister eat; Brother, why are there so many people in the school during the holidays? It seems that there is almost no one in the Academy of Art; brother..." The sound of "Brother" made Nan Yang feel sweet in his heart.Especially when acquaintances and friends must come over curiously to say hello after seeing Sang Li, he proudly introduces "this is my sister" while admiring the amazing eyes of others, and the pride in his heart is beyond words . However, thinking about it now, the biggest mistake Nan Yang made was that he always regarded Sang Li as his "sister" when he was young, so one day, he suddenly discovered that this kind of family affection is actually a kind of love , it was too late. After the summer vacation that year, Sang Li did not return to school, because she had officially entered the final sprint stage as a third-year art candidate.Zhaohua's class has long been absent, and Sang Li is still living at Guo Yunhua's house, studying his major day and night, and making up for cultural classes every now and then.During this process, Nan Yang replaced Xiang Ning as a full-time tutor, but Sang Li couldn't bear to waste his precious time for reviewing for the postgraduate entrance examination, so he studied as much as possible by himself.Guo Yunhua's house was also in turmoil due to the coming and going of various students. Sang Li would take the initiative to help Guo Yunhua cook or tidy up the room in his spare time, and Guo Yunhua liked this clever and sensible girl more and more. After a long time, Sang Li was really in a daze, and felt that this place seemed to be his home.And the small yard thousands of miles away belongs to her father, Chang Qing, and Tian Miao, but not her own. There were many times in this trance, and one day, she finally understood that the reason why she worked so hard to pass the exam was actually: she wanted to go far away and never go back! She was taken aback by the thought of herself. However, this is such a clear fact that cannot be ignored: she must work very hard, must be admitted to university, must be the best, and must be the rare one.Only in this way can she go farther and farther on the road of music, and the better she goes.Only then will she be able to stay away from the home that has no attachment to her and no warmth at all.At that time, she can live a good life as long as she relies on herself. In this way, at the age of eighteen, when many girls of the same age are still hesitating, not knowing what to learn in the future and what kind of path to take, Sang Li has already determined the goal that he needs to strive for all his life.She took this goal so seriously that it became a task that had to be done.She doesn't give herself an excuse to compromise, she doesn't give herself any room for failure, she fights to the death, she only has this way, and she won't return! With this belief, in March of the next year, Sang Li completed the professional examination at the Art Academy and returned to school to study cultural courses. One month later, the "Professional Qualification Notice" was mailed, and Sang Li won the first place in the vocal music major with excellent results, and obtained the qualification to add 30 points to the college entrance examination. Three months later, Sang Li went to the college entrance examination room. This time, she even got the "Admission Notice" with a score of 45 points above the admission mark. In the same year, Nan Yang graduated with a bachelor's degree and was admitted to East China University of Political Science and Law to study for a master's degree in civil and commercial law. Youth is so good, everything is not the end, but just the beginning.
