Making Do

From high school to university, Liang Qiyun harbored a secret crush on Zhou Mingzheng for seven years.

In the eighth year, she started dating, and her boyfriend wasn't him.

Zhou Min...

Chapter 28

Later, Liang Qiyun often wondered why Zhou Mingzheng suddenly said those words that day.

White gentian symbolizes pure and sincere love.

And it came from the mouth of the boy she loved, so how could she not think too much?

But time goes by, and she can never go back to that moment, nor can she get the answer she wants.

After listening to this that day, Liang Qiyun was stunned for a long time.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind. Perhaps the boy was just speaking casually, or perhaps he had some hidden meaning.

She was used to escaping, used to retreating, and was even more self-conscious about her physical condition.

So it was just a few thoughts turning around, or maybe she couldn't think of any other better response, Liang Qiyun smiled faintly, "This is the first time I've heard of this flower language, it's pretty good."

Zhou Mingzheng didn't seem to care what she answered, he just shared what he felt like doing.

He still smiled and nodded, without commenting.

There was no joy or other emotion in his eyes, just like usual.

On weekends, Liang Qiyun still goes to the rehabilitation hospital to exercise with her mother Li Shufen.

After it was over, she and her mother Li Shufen walked out holding hands.

Li Shufen was happy because Dr. Huang had just praised her daughter's improved core strength.

Because the disease is progressive, long-term rehabilitation training is just the hope that my daughter's physical condition can be maintained, but even such a low requirement is difficult to achieve.

This was the first time in all these years that Dr. Huang praised his daughter’s improved core strength.

She couldn't hide the smile on her face, and happily asked Liang Qiyun, "Yunyun, let's go out for lunch today. What do you want to eat?"

Li Shufen also thought that her daughter was tired from studying recently and wanted to relax.

Liang Qiyun knew why her mother was happy, and she couldn't help but smile with her dimples.

In her past life, physical illness was undoubtedly what troubled her the most.

Now I am very satisfied when I hear the doctor say, "Qiyun is great, and her core strength has improved compared to last month."

She was so excited that she smiled and took her mother's arm, "I want to eat grilled fish, and I want the Chongqing spicy one!"

People in the south can’t eat spicy food, but Chongqing’s spicy grilled fish is absolutely amazing!

Li Shufen also couldn't eat spicy food, but the mother and daughter had a special liking for this Chongqing spicy grilled fish. They immediately smiled and nodded in response, "Okay! Let's have this for lunch."

The mother and daughter went directly to the nearby Jiali Plaza, where there was a grilled fish restaurant. They had been there several times before.

After walking out of the grilled fish restaurant with a full stomach, Liang Qiyun followed her mother and took the elevator down to the first floor.

As she was about to leave the square, she caught a glimpse of a flower shop out of the corner of her eye.

For some unknown reason, the boy's gentle words "it symbolizes pure and true love" came to my mind, making my heart tingle and I couldn't ignore it.

Liang Qiyun stopped and said to her mother Li Shufen, "Mom, shall we go to the flower shop?"

Li Shufen looked at the flower shop and saw brightly colored flowers displayed at the door, which made her feel happy.

Although she was curious about why her daughter was suddenly interested in flowers today, she still smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go over and take a look."

Liang Qiyun walked into the flower shop holding her mother's hand, and a faint fragrance filled her nose. She pretended to be interested in looking at the items, which included common roses and some packaged bouquets.

The clerk came forward enthusiastically and wanted to introduce the products. Since Li Shufen had come in, she was quite interested and listened to her introduction.

In fact, after Zhou Mingzheng said that day, she went home and used her smartphone to search for relevant information about white platycodon. She read about its growth environment, historical development, and other aspects, and even memorized its appearance.

It is now the end of June, which should be the flowering period of white gentian.

Liang Qiyun walked around but didn't see any white gentian.

She walked back to her mother and waited for the waiter to finish his introduction before asking, "Hello, I would like to ask if you have white gentian for sale now?"

"Yunyun, are you interested in white gentian?" Li Shufen asked in surprise. This flower is very niche, and most girls like baby's breath.

Liang Qiyun smiled and nodded. She explained in a low voice, "I was quite interested in what was mentioned in the Chinese class a while ago."

After the mother and daughter in front of him finished talking, the waiter smiled and said, "We have some in the store. Come with me."

She led Liang Qiyun to the inside of the flower shop, where they saw branches of white gentian placed together.

Perhaps it had just been sprayed with water, and water droplets were still sliding on the flower bud, looking particularly soft under the dim warm light.

There are some small pots of white gentian placed next to it.

Liang Qiyun walked closer and touched the petal of the white gentian with her hand. It was icy cold and pure white like the last pure land in the world.

Perhaps it was because of the beautiful flower language that the boy mentioned, or the preconceived impression, Liang Qiyun fell in love with white gentian as soon as she saw it.

That day she bought seven white gentian flowers and asked the florist to help her wrap them in pea green wrapping paper.

For this purpose, I specially bought a small clear green vase and placed it on the upper left corner of the desk in the room. A bunch of blooming white gentian was inserted in it, which added a bit of romance for no reason.

Liang Qiyun fell in love with studying at her desk.

When she looked up because she was tired, she could see the white gentian, which represented pure and sincere love, growing quietly within her sight.

For no reason, she felt satisfaction, peace, and even a faint sweetness in her heart.

Because of the boy's words, Bai Gentian has a unique meaning to her.

July arrived as scheduled, and Liang Qiyun was assigned to Class 17 to take the exam this time.

Classes one to fifteen are science examination halls, while classes sixteen to twentieth are arts examination halls.

Liu Xiaoyan was assigned to Class 16 for the exam, so she finally had a companion.

After each exam, as long as I walked outside the classroom, I could always have a conversation with Liu Xiaoyan.

It's not like I'm just in the dark and no one recognizes me.

After the exams, the arrangements are the same as last semester.

Before the results come out, teachers of each subject take turns to review the test papers.

Then, according to old custom, the class arranged to watch a movie in the classroom.

Liang Qiyun finally did not miss it this time.

Even if the content being broadcast was about apocalyptic loss, which was not a subject she was interested in.

But because there was a teenager sitting next to her, watching the movie with great interest, she also felt very satisfied.

On the morning of July 7, the school dismissal ceremony marked the end of the first year of high school.

Before ten o'clock after the closing ceremony, some boarding students went directly back to the dormitory to pick up the suitcases they had prepared in advance, while some day students returned to the classroom to carry their backpacks.

The desk drawers that were originally piled with books are now all empty, and even the desk surface is clean.

L Middle School did not enforce the rules strictly today because the school day had already ended, which meant that students were allowed to bring their smartphones to school.

So many students have a smart phone and check WeChat whenever they have time.

Liang Qiyun was sitting in her seat. Huang Xiyun in the front row turned around excitedly and said, "Qiyun, it's rare that you brought your smartphone today. Let's add each other on WeChat. We can use □□ to contact each other during school and use WeChat during holidays."

She said a series of things that were not at all confusing.

"Okay, I just happened to bring a smartphone back today." Liang Qiyun couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and her already delicate oval face was filled with a soft glow.

She also brought her smartphone with her today, thinking it would be convenient to use.

Huang Xiyun was afraid that she didn't know how to do it, so she reminded her, "Just click on the QR code on the WeChat homepage and let me scan it."

Liang Qiyun followed the steps to open the QR code at her reminder, and handed the phone to Huang Xiyun, "This should be OK, scan it."

drop!

Huang Xiyun's smartphone made a sound, indicating that the code had been successfully scanned.

Liang Qiyun didn't have time to take back the smartphone.

Zhou Mingzheng walked into the classroom with his schoolbag still slung over his chair.

The boy seemed to be in a good mood and smiled casually.

He glanced over casually and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"I'll add Qiyun on WeChat so we can keep in touch later." Huang Xiyun replied without even looking up. She was filling out an application request and then pressed send.

Liang Qiyun also looked at the young man in front of her.

A faint sadness of parting lingered in their hearts, as if from that day on, they would no longer be classmates.

From now on, we will just be classmates in the first year of high school.

Zhou Mingzheng smiled carefreely, raised the smartphone in his hand and shook it, his voice still as clear as memory, "We were deskmates for a year after all, let's add WeChat so we can keep in touch later."
