Chapter 23 twenty two

In the two months before the college entrance examination, everything became tense.The school was closed and visits were not allowed, so Jing couldn't even see Xiao Zhuo.Everyone just buried their heads in their studies and worked tirelessly with longing for the upcoming university life.Jing has decided to apply for S University.Because it was the university that Uncle Lu had studied at, and also because it had a strong artistic atmosphere.Jing plans to apply for the Chinese Department there.She was very excited when she thought about going to the place where Uncle Lu had studied in university.

It's just that Yuya's mood was very bad during that time.She knew that her grades were not good, and she would definitely not be able to study at S University. Separated from Jing, there is always a burst of sadness, and said quietly: "Jing, I know you must be a great person in the future, do you still remember me then?" "What do you mean remember? We want to be together and never separate." Jing said. "I'm nothing special, I just met you when you were in trouble, so it's precious. You will definitely have many friends in the future, and I should leave at that time."

Jing always remembered Yuya's words at the turn of spring and summer that year.Later, she thought of Yumi's twinkling eyes at that moment, Jing thought, she was really a witch. The hot summer with the tough exams has finally arrived.This summer Jing is always excited for a while.She always told herself that she was going back.After the college entrance examination, Jing did not go home, but stayed in school anxiously waiting for the results.During that time she hadn't even made any guesses about the exam mistakes.The certainty came from somewhere, which made her believe that she had indeed embarked on a path to make herself better and better, she already had the attitude of flying, and the victory was beginning to take shape.And the facts also verified Jing's idea, and Jing was finally admitted to S University.

Yuya was not too surprised and frustrated by her failure.She said that it didn't matter to her at all, as long as Jing remembered to be with her all the time, she would be satisfied. "You must never forget me." Yumi emphasized again, Jing didn't smile this time, she looked at Yumi solemnly.She knew that Yuya was precious, and there was a deep kindness in it, so she thought, no matter what, she would never be separated from Yuya in this life. Finally it was time to go back, to see him again and ask for his love again.That morning Jing stood in front of the big brown glass in front of the school teaching building again.This glass has an extraordinary meaning to her.Jing still remembers the first time she came here, the shock it brought to herself, it almost sent Jing into a complete ice cave.But just standing here, Jing ordered the face in the mirror to get better.Thinking about that moment, it seems like a lifetime away.

She was about to go back, but panicked.I don't know what kind of clothes to wear and how to dress up in front of him.Yumi, Yuya, what kind of clothes do you think I should wear, what kind of hair do you think I should wear? In the afternoon when they were about to leave school, they spread out the entire wardrobe on the bed and examined each item one by one.Jing prefers a cooler color, which makes people feel calm and has more room in their hearts.So she chose a small dark purple shirt with a dark pattern of small faint roses on it.The stand-up collar, neckline and cuffs have thin lavender lace, and the soft lace is wrapped around the shirt like a layer of light cotton candy.The waist is cinched, and the lower end is a semi-circular cuff, so you can wear it like a French princess.Jing matched it with a black midi skirt, made of gauze, with slender silver silk threads.Many tightly drawn ribbons are sewn on it, and the hem is curved one by one, which also has the style of medieval France.Wear it with a pair of pale snow teal socks, trimmed with lace in the same color, and slip your feet into a pair of black round-toed doll shoes.The shoes have long been polished by her, and there will be spots of light shining when standing in the sun.Yuya helped Jing tie up her hair.She parted the front hair into thin braids on both sides, and then put the braids back into the loose hair in the back.Secure with a dark blue barrette in the shape of a small butterfly.Jing stood in front of the mirror, and the girl in the mirror was dressed gorgeously as if it had been a long time ago.Kind of funny.But she is indeed so beautiful, the clothes, shoes, and hair are all woven with a layer of luxurious light. She has finally transformed into a girl who can play the role of a princess and a nobleman.

Yumi helped Jing apply light rose-colored rouge and colorless lipstick.She said that Jing looked like an expensive doll in the glass window at the entrance of a boutique. Jing is leaving.Go back to her home and meet him.She hadn't seen him for a long time, and they hadn't corresponded for a long time because they were busy with exams. Yuya sent Jing to the bus home.They should have a lot to say, but they seem cumbersome and superfluous.Yuya just helped her tug at the slightly wrinkled shirt, winked at her, and said loudly, "Come on." Jing nodded vigorously.As the car drove, Jing saw the thin Yumi in a light blue dress standing there, waving desperately at her.

Jing took the first bus in the morning to leave school.She hasn't left here for three years, it's like her trench, her camp.Jing is like a soldier with an important mission, practicing lying down and shooting here, and he can't be sloppy for a moment.Here she was wounded, here she recovered, here she learned how to be stronger and braver.After three years, has she finally become a well-trained and well-prepared soldier?Is she finally loaded and ready to take on the challenge?In the last row of the rickety morning bus, Jing poked her head out and saw the low hillside.It was midsummer, and the sunflowers were in full bloom.Jing suddenly discovered that many plants that Yumi and Yumi had planted before had grown, such as pomegranate trees and oleanders.I haven't been here for a long time, and this place is already a lively garden.Will it commemorate these two little girls planted here with longing?Will it miss the freedom of holding hands and running on the hillside?And her playground, her grove, bye, bye.Jing is finally going home.

Jing finally returned to No. 3 Taoli Street.Wearing a neat shirt and skirt, he stood at the door cautiously and excitedly.I saw roses all over the wall again.This year's roses seemed to be extraordinarily lush, covering the entire door, even the side walls.The door was open, and she walked in.She saw Uncle Lu's garden again, but it was a little different from what she had imagined.I originally thought that Uncle Lu had said that he wanted to compete with her, so the sunflowers in the garden would grow extraordinarily prosperous under extra care.When the pomegranate tree is about to bear fruit, it should be covered with small lanterns far and near.Not so: there wasn't much bright color in the garden.The originally planted large piece of phlox withered in this prosperous July, and the withered flowers were reluctant to let go with a little bit of red color, as if they were still stubbornly waiting for the owner to come back , Make up for the moisture owed to them this season.The pomegranate tree was not decorated with lights as expected, as if it had encountered a catastrophe, it curled up in the corner of the wall with lingering fear, and became thinner and thinner.In the yard, only the grass was tall, spreading domineeringly and growing wildly.

Jing couldn't describe her surprise.The decadence here made her unable to believe that she had returned to No. 3 Taoli Street.How prosperous it used to be here.Jing walked to the small white building and looked at it, this long-lost little white elephant, are you safe?Jing rang the doorbell.I was very worried, could it be her Uncle Lu who came to open the door?What would he look like when he saw her?Jing hurriedly checked herself for the last time: Is the clothes still flat, whether the hair is still tied smoothly, and whether there is a fresh smile on the corner of the lips.However, no one came to open the door for a long time.Jing turned around and found that Lu Yihan's and Man's cars were not in the yard, so they should not be there.A little disappointed, she continued to ring the doorbell and started calling "Xiao Zhuo" by name.After a long time, the door opened, and she saw Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo was wearing dark green pajamas, and his hands were covered with mud—he should be making sculptures.He looked down and out and must have been ill.When he was sick, he would feel cold all over his body, and he could feel it just by approaching him.The hair has not been trimmed for a long time and has covered one eye.The other eye looked suspiciously, a little slowly, before realizing that it was Jing who was outside the door.He hugged Jing, but was extremely careful, with both arms clamping her shoulders, and his hands hanging in the air, for fear of staining Jing's new clothes.He called her:

"Miss." He was so painfully cold that it was almost as hot as the plaster in his hands.It was different from his usual sadness.Through his thin body, she saw a layer of dust that had been confined for a long time floating in the living room, on the sofa, carpet, and speakers, and in the high-necked glass vase was a horseshoe that had turned dark brown. Lian, once you touch it, it will definitely turn into a handful of crumbs.Jing stepped into the living room.She never thought that when she re-entered, it would be so sparse.
