Chapter 298 Extra 14 (Wang Shan)

After Wang Shan and Yan Shen were together, they would talk about their school days from time to time.

To be honest, they had very little interaction when they were in school.

We were in the same school but different classes in elementary school, and in different junior high schools. When we were in the same class in high school, one ended up being busy with a physics competition while the other was focusing on art sketching.

"But I knew you a long time ago." Yan Shen said with a smile, "At that time I thought you were a heroine."

Heroine?

Wang Shan looked at Yan Shen with confusion.

"Do you still remember Zhu Jun?" Yan Shen asked.

Wang Shan shook her head.

"Your first-grade classmate." Yan Shen reminded.

The memory was too distant and Wang Shan still couldn't remember this person.

"Do you still remember that time when you hit a boy's nose and made it bleed in school?" Yan Shen looked at Wang Shan's delicate hands.

Wang Shan then remembered, "I still have some memory of this incident. It seems that he stole my things and called me a nickname. I got angry and punched him in the nose."

Wang Shan paused as she was talking and looked at Yan Shen suspiciously, "That's not right. You're not even in the same class as me. How did you know about this? And you still remember the name of the boy I beat up?"

"I'm in the class next to yours." Yan Shen touched his nose, "And in a way, you avenged me."

"Revenge?" Wang Shan was puzzled.

Yan Shen looked away. "When I was a kid, Zhu Jun and I lived in the same neighborhood. I was smaller and thinner, and was often bullied by Zhu Jun."

Wang Shan suddenly realized, "No wonder you said I was a heroine."

Yan Shen nodded, "In fact, we took a photo together when we were in elementary school."

Wang Shan looked incredulous.

"Wait a moment, I'll find it for you."

After saying that, Yan Shen walked towards the study in a pair of slippers.

Not long after, he came out with an album that showed signs of age, turned to a page, and spread it in front of Wang Shan, "Take a look, is this you?"

Wang Shan picked up the photo album, looked at it carefully, and then looked shocked: "Really? When was this?"

"It was on Children's Day. We were the first students in the first grade to join the Young Pioneers. My dad said it was very commemorative, so he took the photo specially for me," Yan Shen explained.

"You have a very good memory. You can remember something that happened so long ago so clearly!" Wang Shan exclaimed.

"It's...it's okay. Mainly because I'm so excited to become a glorious Young Pioneer." Yan Shen turned his eyes away somewhat unnaturally.

What he didn't say was that he specially asked his father to take this photo because he wanted to take a photo with the heroine Wang Shan at that time.

However, Wang Shan didn't notice it as she flipped through the old photos one by one.

"Hey, you were also selected as a child representative when Hong Kong returned to China?" Wang Shan exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes! I was standing behind you." Yan Shen said with a complaint, "I wanted to talk to you at that time, but you were chatting with Huang Xinxin the whole time and I couldn't get a word in."

"Really? I don't even remember. But Xinxin and I have been good friends since kindergarten. We were in the same class from kindergarten to high school, and we went to the same university. So she and I are really destined to be together." Wang Shan couldn't help laughing.

Yan Shen also had to admit that there was a deep bond between the two of them.

"By the way, why did you go to Xin'an for junior high school?" Wang Shan asked, pointing at his photos during military training.

"I randomly chose between Baoan and Xinan, and Xinan Middle School is closer to my home," Yan Shen explained.

"Why didn't you go directly to Xin'an Middle School's high school?"

"My dad said that Baoan Middle School is vigorously cracking down on school bullying, so I don't have to worry about being bullied once I get in."

Yan Shen joked to himself: "To be honest, I have to thank my dad. If it weren't for him, I might have missed you."

"Then were you particularly excited when you saw me in high school?" Wang Shan raised her eyebrows.

"I was quite excited, but you didn't respond to me when I said hello to you. You were so cold!" Yan Shen couldn't help but complain, "In class, apart from talking to Huang Xinxin and Han Yiyi, you were always sitting alone in your seat with your head down doing homework. Did you know that you had a nickname in class at that time?"

"How come I don't know?"

"You look like you don't want anyone to come near you, who would dare to call you that to your face?"

"Then tell me what nickname you guys gave me behind my back?" Wang Shan stared at him intently.

Yan Shen quickly explained, "I didn't name it this way. I just heard it from someone else by accident."

"Yeah." Wang Shan nodded, "Then how did they call me?"

"Tianshan Snow Lotus."

"What?"

Yan Shen swallowed, "I mean they call you Tianshan Snow Lotus."

"Why do you call me that nickname?" Wang Shan tilted her head and looked at him curiously.

"Because you basically keep to yourself and seldom interact with other students, plus you are beautiful, artistic, and have good grades. You seem unattainable, just like the snow lotus of Tianshan Mountain." Yan Shen was touched by the cute way she tilted her head and couldn't help but touch her head.

Wang Shan couldn't help but curl her lips after hearing this. "So that's how it is. I thought it was some ugly nickname."

"How could that be!"

In fact, there were a lot of boys who liked Wang Shan at that time, but Wang Shan was busy studying and painting, and didn't give anyone a chance.

"Did you fall in love with me then?" Wang Shan flipped to her high school graduation photo.

"Not really." Yan Shen was very frank.

Although he had always felt that Wang Shan was different from other students, he only regarded her as a heroine at that time and always admired her.

"Then when did you start to have feelings for me?" Wang Shan asked.

"It was during the winter break of my senior year in high school. I tutored you in physics, and you gave me a painting when school was about to start." The scene of that day emerged in Yan Shen's mind. "That day in the sunshine, when you handed me the painting with a smile, I felt that you were glowing, like a fairy, and my heart sank."

"If I hadn't given you the painting that day, would you have not been attracted to me?" Wang Shan made an assumption.

Yan Shen shook his head. "I think I should have liked you a long time ago, but I never discovered it until that day."

Speaking of tutoring, Yan Shen thought of Huang Jiahao.

As a man, he knew what Huang Jiahao was thinking, "What is the guy who tutored you in math doing now?"

Wang Shan thought about it and realized that she and Brother Hao had not been in touch for a long time.

It seemed that after she received a QQ message from Brother Hao on the day of her wedding, they never contacted each other again.

"He seems to still be in the army, and I heard that his military rank has been raised." Wang Shan heard this from her mother.

My mother and Aunt Ayun are good friends and have always been in contact, so I can hear some information from my mother from time to time.

"Why are you asking Brother Hao?" Wang Shan looked at Yan Shen.

Yan Shen just smiled and said nothing. He had always been worried that Wang Shan would be taken advantage of by Huang Jiahao, after all, they had known each other for a long time.

Wang Shan didn't think much about it and asked again: "So is this a case of love at first sight or love that develops over time?"

Yan Shen considered it over and over again before speaking, "To use the words on the Internet, my love for you started with courage, fell in love with talent, matched with personality, lasted for a long time with kindness, and was loyal to my personality."

“Don’t they say online that it all starts with appearance?” Wang Shan said with some ill intention.

"It is undeniable that your looks are one of the reasons, but I initially paid attention to you because of your bravery." Yan Shen told the truth.

"Okay." Wang Shan was quite satisfied with the answer.

"Then when did you know what I was thinking?" Yan Shen really wanted to know.

"The day of the college entrance examination." Wang Shan looked at him and smiled.

Yan Shen showed an incredible expression, "How did you know? I thought I hid it well!"

"That day you ran to me breathlessly to take me to the exam, and you said something like that. I'm not a fool, how could I not understand?" Wang Shan was burned by his burning gaze at that time.

"Well, I always thought you didn't notice." Yan Shen held his forehead and changed the question, "When did you decide to be with me?"

"Actually, I don't know either." Wang Shan recalled every detail of the past.

"Maybe it's because you eat with me every day regardless of the weather, maybe it's because you hold an umbrella for me under the scorching sun when I'm sketching with you, maybe it's even earlier... But I know that I feel safe with you."

Yan Shen couldn't help but hold her in his arms, "I'm glad I can make you feel at ease."

Wang Shan snuggled in Yan Shen's arms without saying a word.

The two continued to look through the photo album, reminiscing about the good old days.

"Look, this photo was taken when we went to Yunnan for a trip." Wang Shan pointed to a photo that showed her and Yan Shen in Shilin.

Yan Shen smiled and said: "That trip was really fun. We even watched the sunrise over Erhai Lake together."

Wang Shan nodded, "Yes, that was the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen."

Yan Shen looked at her with love in his eyes, "Thank you for showing me so many sights."

Wang Shan stood on tiptoe and gently kissed the corner of his mouth, "I also want to thank you for always being by my side."

The two hugged each other and enjoyed this warm moment.

"Hey, how about we go back to school and take a group photo? We have quite a few group photos in college, but from elementary school to high school we have nothing except the high school graduation photo." Wang Shan had an idea.

Yan Shen thought about it and agreed.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly. Wang Shan and Yan Shen left their daughter and went out early.

She wore a vintage-style dress and a pair of white sneakers.

Yan Shen was very interesting. He actually bought two red scarves from the store.

The two of them had discussed it last night and hoped to take a photo of themselves wearing red scarves and saluting the national flag in front of the flag-raising platform of the elementary school.

But the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

When the two of them drove excitedly to the primary school gate, they returned home disappointed.

The security guard at the school gate originally thought that the two of them were here to pick up students, but when he heard that they were here to take pictures, he shook his head and refused.

"If you want to take pictures, go somewhere else. Besides, the school is in class and outsiders are not allowed to enter." The security guard was very firm.

Wang Shan and Yan Shen could only watch a group of lively and cute primary school students taking physical education classes through the school gate.

In the end, they still wore their red scarves and shamelessly posed for seven or eight photos in front of the school gate under the speechless gaze of the security guard.

After taking the photo, Yan Shen put away the camera and waved his hand, "Let's go to your junior high school. Maybe we can get in there."

So they came to Baoan Middle School again.

Just like in the elementary school, the security guard at Baoan Middle School rejected their request impartially.

Yan Shen could only take a group of photos of Wang Shan with the ivy hanging down from the school wall.

"Do you still want to try your luck in high school?" Yan Shen looked at Wang Shan.

"Go, now that you're here."

This time, they didn't explain the reason and were let through by the security guard.

The two people were a little nervous. Why was he just let go without asking any questions?

After entering the school gate, I found that today was the 100-day oath-taking ceremony for the senior high school students.

Wang Shan and Yan Shen followed the crowd to the playground, feeling the vitality and passion of youth.

They found a corner and watched the students on the stage taking the oath passionately, and they felt moved.

After the ceremony, the students left the playground one after another, and the parents also dispersed in twos and threes, and the playground became quiet in an instant.

Wang Shan and Yan Shen took the opportunity to walk to the flag-raising platform. They held hands and recalled their past campus life.

Yan Shen set up the tripod and took a photo of the two of them under the national flag.

They found the red brick wall behind the infirmary.

The red brick wall did not lose its color due to wind and rain, and the bougainvillea that bloomed wildly in the spring covered the entire wall.

Yan Shen first asked Wang Shan to stand under the flower tree and take a picture of her, and then switched sides.

Then Yan Shen found two Baoan Middle School uniforms from his schoolbag.

Wang Shan was stunned: "Where did you find it?"

"I went to my mother and mother-in-law's house yesterday and got it from them." Yan Shen simply put his school uniform over his coat.

Wang Shan followed suit.

The two men adjusted each other's collars and couldn't help laughing.

The camera on a tripod recorded their various actions.

After finishing the photo shoot at the back of the infirmary, the two of them took a few more hurried photos under the gaze of the cafeteria auntie who was watching the show, and then rushed out the door.

When I stopped, I realized I had run to the bottom of the teaching building.

"It seems like nothing has changed here." Wang Shan said with emotion.

"Probably the only ones who have changed are us." Yan Shen took Wang Shan's hand and walked into the teaching building.

While the students were still in get out of class, they took a few photos outside the classroom like thieves.

Finally, they came to the playground.

"Do you remember how we ran back then?" Yan Shen said with a smile.

"Of course I remember. I was exhausted every time I had physical education class." Wang Shan also laughed.

They walked slowly on the track, recalling every detail of the past.

After leaving the campus, Yan Shen and Wang Shan strolled hand in hand on the street in front of the school gate.

They passed by a photo studio, and Yan Shen suggested, "How about we develop the photos?"

Wang Shan smiled and nodded.

Entering the photo studio, the owner welcomed them warmly.

While waiting for the photos to be developed, Yan Shen and Wang Shan went to the bookstore they loved to visit when they were in school and bought a bunch of colorful pens and fancy notebooks. .

After the photos were printed out, Yan Shen and Wang Shan carefully picked up the photos and looked through them one by one, as if they were reliving those beautiful times.

They smiled at each other, their eyes full of happiness.
