Fu Xingchuan hadn't been to the infirmary for a long time, so the school doctor specially brought the rabbit cage over.
He noticed the tiger huddled in the corner of its cage, and asked, "Is it sick?"
"No, I guess I'm just not in a good mood."
Fu Xingchuan's hand moved closer, and the tiger's nose moved, as if it smelled his scent, and the tiger pricked up one ear.
"It's happy to see an old friend." The school doctor reminded Zhu Changyu not to take too many painkillers. His eyes were drawn to the rabbit. "Got it."
"This rabbit looks quite similar to Lin Luo." Zhu Changyu said as he teased the rabbit with his fingers.
When Lin Luo was mentioned, Zhu Sui'an remembered what had just happened and became a little angry. He drank several sips of water before he suppressed his anger.
One of the tiger's ears dropped down because of Zhu Changyu's teasing. Fu Xingchuan frowned and moved his hand away. "The water is ready, take the medicine!"
"Your tone is a bit like Pan Jinlian saying to Dalang, it's time to take your medicine."
Zhu Sui'an was amused by him, but Fu Xingchuan was in a bad mood.
He felt there was a strange smell in the infirmary. He couldn't tell whether it was the smell of medicine or disinfectant. Anyway, it didn't smell good and made him feel nauseous.
Is the tiger unhappy because he doesn't like the smell?
"When will Tong Yun come back?" Zhu Sui'an asked suddenly.
Zhu Changyu, who was standing by the water dispenser pouring hot water, was visibly stunned for a moment, not even noticing that the water was full. The school doctor came in and reminded him, "Be careful, don't get burned."
"Oh." A drop of hot water fell on Zhu Changyu's hand, and his skin immediately turned red, but he seemed not to feel the pain. His eyes were empty, his attention was focused on that side, and his ears were almost standing up like a rabbit.
"I don't know." said Fu Xingchuan.
"Can you please pay more attention to your girlfriend Tong Yun? She is so beautiful and you should cherish her."
Fu Xingchuan looked at Tiger and said, "Don't worry about me, and pay more attention to Ruan Ye!"
"Oh, right, where did Ruan Ye go?" Zhu Changyu looked around and realized that someone was missing. Lin Luo said he was going to the bathroom and hasn't come back yet. They wouldn't leave him behind and go back to the classroom, right?
"He's probably sulking somewhere!" Zhu Sui'an knew Ruan Ye very well. She could guess what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.
He had a cold face just now, and he was regretting not going downstairs with her, and also wanted to find the person who pushed her to take revenge.
Zhu Changyu glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. Class was about to start, so he said goodbye to them and returned to the classroom. The door was not closed properly, so Fu Xingchuan stood up and walked over with the rabbit cage.
Zhu Sui'an asked him, "Where are you going?"
"Get some fresh air."
"oh."
There was no sunlight on the first floor, so he took the rabbit cage to the second floor to bask in the sun, and the tiger pricked up one ear again.
"Are you happy?"
He didn't get an answer. The tiger walked to the other corner of the cage, ears erect, as if it heard something. Fu Xingchuan also glanced at the woods in the distance.
When he glanced around, he saw Lin Luo and Ruan Ye standing together.
She is crying.
"Can you hear me?" Fu Xingchuan asked the tiger. The tiger twitched its nose, perhaps answering, "Your ears are quite sharp."
Fu Xingchuan took the tiger out of the cage and held it in his arms. Its fur was very soft. Fu Xingchuan gently stroked it and chuckled, "The child has learned bad habits even when he grows up. He won't cry in front of anyone anymore."
His phone vibrated, and Fu Xingchuan took it out of his pocket. It was a message from Tong Yun, "My trip is coming to an end. I'll be back to Nan'an in two days."
Line: [Tell me the train number and I'll pick you up when the time comes.]
Tong Yun: [Thank you.]
Line: [Are you okay?]
Tong Yun: [Yeah.]
Fu Xingchuan turned off his phone. The sun was warm, the wind was gentle, and Tiger was happily lying in his arms. He suddenly felt that everything was good now, and he wished time could stop at this moment.
But the air was flowing and he couldn't stop it.
Ruan Ye and Lin Luo returned, her eyes as red as the tiger's. Ruan Ye would be accompanying Zhu Sui'an, so Fu Xingchuan put the tiger back in its cage and went downstairs to the classroom with Lin Luo.
Walking on the tree-lined avenue, Fu Xingchuan spoke first, "Tong Yun will be back soon."
"Really!" Her voice was a little hoarse, but her eyes lit up.
"Um."
"Did she find her aunt?"
Fu Xingchuan remembered what Tong Yun had mentioned to him, touched his nose and said, "No, I heard it wasn't going well, and the clues were lost again."
"What a pity, but life is long! Tong Yun will find her one day."
Fu Xingchuan looked at her, and a strong wind blew up, almost making him cry.
He turned his head away, "Yeah!"
But the world is so big, and I'm afraid people are no longer around. He didn't say this out loud, as it was blown away by the wind.
Before entering the corridor, Fu Xingchuan said to her: "If anyone talks nonsense, tell me and I will teach you a lesson."
Lin Luo stepped onto the stairs and said, "Thank you."
Soon they arrived at the classroom door. It was very quiet inside and there was no teacher. Lin Luo then remembered that it was a study class.
They were sitting in the back row of the first group. As soon as Lin Luo walked to the back door, Xu Yangyang noticed her and asked, "Luo Luo, are you okay?"
"Yeah." Xu Yangyang's voice was not loud, but it was particularly loud in the quiet classroom. There was a discussion, and before Fu Xingchuan could speak, Xu Yangyang spoke first, "What are you arguing about! If any of you dare to gossip again, I'll tear your mouths apart!"
Because she often quarreled and fought with Tian Yajun, Xu Yangyang was nicknamed "Mad Dog" in the class and most people didn't dare to mess with her.
The classroom returned to silence and Fu Xingchuan walked to his seat.
"Mad dog, bad girl, weakling. Why do the three of us have such a reputation?" Zhu Changyu muttered quietly. Xu Yangyang heard, "Birds of a feather flock together!"
He sorted out her words and said, "I'm Zhu!"
"Yes, you are a pig."
Lin Luo and Xu Yangyang laughed together.
There are still people who talk about Lin Luo behind her back, but she doesn't mind. It's just a misunderstanding of her. There is no point in being too serious about it and it's a waste of time.
Lin Luo hoped that time would pass faster because she wanted to see Tong Yun as soon as possible.
A few days later, Lin Luo finally met her, but it wasn't what she had imagined. They didn't meet at school, but at noon after school, when Lin Luo went to buy some reference books and saw her on the way.
At first, Lin Luo thought it was not Tong Yun, but they just looked alike. But after looking at her a few more times, she was sure that it was Tong Yun. There was a group of yellow-haired and red-haired people around her talking to her.
They entered an alley together, and Lin Luo followed Tong Yun because she was afraid that he would be bullied.
They were quite far away, so Lin Luo couldn't hear their conversation, but they probably weren't bullying each other, it was just normal communication. Lin Luo saw a smile on Tong Yun's face.
If you look closely, you can see that she is wearing heavy makeup today and her hair is cut short.
Lin Luo felt a little uneasy.
One of the yellow-haired men tilted his head, and Lin Luo quickly hid behind the wall. When he stuck his head out again, they were gone.
Seeing Tong Yun dressed like this, Lin Luo couldn't help but wonder if she had encountered something bad in Guangdong and hadn't recovered yet.
After the first class in the afternoon, it was their class's turn to take graduation photos. Tian Yajun told everyone to go downstairs. Xu Yangyang and Zhu Changyu were discussing the solution to a math problem. Although they were clearly discussing, those who didn't know them would have thought they were arguing.
The weather was hot and Lin Luo was getting a headache from the quarrels between the two of them.
Xu Yangyang saw the girls from other classes, stopped arguing with Zhu Changyu, and touched her face. "If I had known earlier, I would have put on some makeup at noon."
"How good can the makeup you put on yourself be? Stop making trouble." Zhu Changyu thought of the many times she had cut his hair and laughed at her.
"Hey, I have a lipstick in my pocket." Xu Yangyang would occasionally wear light makeup to school, but Lin Luo could basically not tell that she was wearing makeup, and there was no difference between her and her bare face.
"It's Barbie pink, Zhu Changyu, why don't you try it? I can make you the most handsome guy in your graduation photo." Xu Yangyang opened the lipstick, and bright pink appeared in her sight.
Zhu Changyu frowned, "I don't want it."
"Just try it!" Xu Yangyang raised her eyebrows, as if she wanted to tease him.
"Xu Yangyang, what are you doing? Don't come over here." Zhu Changyu hid backwards and Xu Yangyang chased him.
When Lin Luo saw Director Wang walking towards them, she put away the MP3 and headphones in her hand. These were gifts from Tang Heng for her on her birthday. He heard from colleagues that it could be used to listen to English words and practice listening and music, and it was very popular among high school students, so he bought them specially for her.
She wanted to tell Xu Yangyang, but before she could remind him, Director Wang confiscated Xu Yangyang's lipstick. She begged, "Director, this isn't an electronic product, why are you confiscating it? Just because it's my first offense, please forgive me this time! Okay?"
"No, come back to me after the college entrance exam." Director Wang glanced at her. "You look great even without makeup at your age. Focus on your studies. There are still fifty days left, so just hold on a little longer."
Xu Yangyang remained silent, staring somewhere. Lin Luo and Zhu Changyu followed her gaze and saw Tong Yun. She looked exactly as she had at noon. She was still wearing her white school uniform, but her hair was cropped short and she was wearing heavy makeup. She was beautiful, yet strangely unfamiliar.
Xu Yangyang helped Tong Yun shield him, blocking his view. "Director Wang, I just saw the sprint class leader looking for you."
"What do you want from me?"
"I don't know either. Go and have a look!"
"Behave yourself when taking graduation photos!" Director Wang warned.
Xu Yangyang saluted and said, "Okay."
After Director Wang walked away, Xu Yangyang pulled Lin Qiao to Tong Yun, with Zhu Changyu following behind them. "Tong Yun, you're so beautiful! I thought I saw a fairy!"
"Thank you." His tone was the same as before, but the youthfulness on his face had faded. To be more precise, it was because of the makeup that it couldn't be seen.
"But it seems a bit strong. Aren't you afraid of being caught by Director Wang?" Xu Yangyang asked.
Tong Yun shook his head. "Taking graduation photos is so rare! Wouldn't it be nice to freeze our most beautiful moment?"
"Of course."
Lin Luo pursed her lips, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.
Xu Yangyang had a lot of questions. "Is Guangdong fun? Did Fu Xingchuan pick you up at the station? Didn't Fu Xingchuan also go there for a few days? I envy you two traveling together!"
Tong Yun curled his lips, and Zhu Changyu lowered his eyes, "I won't disturb you girls talking anymore, I'll leave first."
Xu Yangyang seemed to suddenly remember something, and her voice softened. "Okay, save two seats for us! Stand in front of you."
"Okay." He strode away.
The three girls walked slowly arm in arm. Tong Yun answered all the questions Xu Yangyang had just asked. She mentioned a lot of local food and scenery in Guangdong. Xu Yangyang looked at her face and was reluctant to take her eyes off her.
Lin Luo listened carefully.
She casually tied her hair into a ponytail this morning and took a nap on the desk during class. Her hair was a little messy but she didn't care.
But now she saw Tong Yun's preparations for taking graduation photos, and she also wanted to tidy it up, but she didn't expect that as soon as her hand touched the rubber band, it broke, and two pieces of hair rope lay in her palm.
Lin Luo's hair dispersed, and they noticed.
Tong Yun suggested, "How about I help you guys transform it?"
"Okay!" Xu Yangyang was very happy, and Lin Luo also nodded.
Tong Yun braided a pair of playful pigtails for Xu Yangyang and tied a high ponytail for Lin Luo.
"Grandma says a high ponytail is the most fashionable look." Tong Yun looked at Lin Luo, "You look so energetic."
Then why did she cut her hair short? Lin Luo wondered, but she smiled and didn't ask.
They went together to the front of the Ideological and Political Building, where stairs had been set up. When they arrived, it was their class's turn. Lin Luo and Xu Yangyang stood in the line. Zhu Changyu helped them reserve a seat, and Fu Xingchuan stood next to him.
Lin Luo stood in front of him, looking ahead. Tong Yun was waving in that direction.
"It's time to take the photo. Are you ready?"
Everyone was just laughing and no one answered.
The flash still dazzled her eyes, but Lin Luo didn't dare to blink.
After they finished filming, they changed to the sprint class. Tong Yun stood on the stairs and everyone was looking at her. Director Wang was also stunned for a moment, but probably because there were many teachers and photographers there, he didn't want to lecture anyone in such an occasion, so he gave up.
"Classmate Lin Luo, can I take a photo with you?" It was the boy from Class 17. Xu Yangyang narrowed her eyes and pushed Lin Luo. She accidentally saw Fu Xingchuan looking at Tong Yun.
"Can."
"Let's go over there!"
"good."
Lin Luo followed Xu Fanqing to the side. He asked a girl to take a photo of them. Lin Luo made a "yeah" gesture and smiled faintly.
Xu Fanqing was very close to her and said in a gentle voice, "You look beautiful in a high ponytail."
"Thanks."
"But you're usually pretty good-looking, too."
"Xu Fanqing." Lin Luo blinked, "Stop giving me candy. I don't like it."
"It's done."
Xu Fanqing took the initiative to distance himself from her and patted his head, "I understand... Can I still ask you if I have any questions in the future?"
"Okay, but don't give me any more candy," Lin Luo said calmly. "I'm leaving now."
"Okay, bye."
Lin Luo walked quickly back to the Ideological and Political Building, her ponytail swinging behind her.
Should she muster up the courage to take a photo with Fu Xingchuan? Lin Xiao was torn. Is it okay to just take a photo without confessing her feelings? She asked herself.
She finally understood why Tong Yun liked to tie her hair into a high ponytail in the past, and also understood why boys in TV dramas were obsessed with high ponytails.
"Has Tong Yun become a bad person? He skipped classes, put on makeup, and hung out with some questionable people. Didn't you see Director Wang's face just now? He was so angry that he turned pale." The girls who passed by the sprint class talked about it.
"Why does Fu Xingchuan like her so much? It's so annoying!"
Lin Luo saw Fu Xingchuan's figure under the camphor tree. He was taking pictures of Tong Yun with a camera.
She suddenly felt that her reaction time was quite long, and the pain from the flash in her eyes was only now taking effect.
It turns out that boys are not obsessed with high ponytails, but they like all looks of the girl they love.
