It snowed heavily last night. Looking out the window, it was all white.
After breakfast, An Ci lay on Fugui and didn't want to move. Her eyes and nose were red. Her voice was hoarse because of the cold, and she looked listless.
After finally finishing her last exam yesterday, she and Anyang took Fugui to play snowballs in the snow. Unexpectedly, she developed a low-grade fever in the middle of the night after returning, and it didn't get better until the morning.
But fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Because she had a cold and a fever, her grandfather excused her from morning exercises for the past few days, and she slept in for the first time in a long time.
When Anyang came to say goodbye to her, he saw her curled up on the sofa watching TV with one hand in the potato chip bag.
He lives a more carefree life than anyone else, which is really enviable.
He shook off the snow on his coat and walked over briskly. "I thought you were lying in bed and couldn't get up."
Since the last time they had barbecue together, the two of them gradually established a revolutionary friendship between foodies. Anyang would come here every now and then to eat, and occasionally go to the vegetable garden to get snacks.
"So are you here to visit or to pay your respects?" Seeing him coming, An Ci didn't move and continued to lie there like a big boss.
Is this something a three-year-old can say?
Who would curse himself to death?
Anyang rolled his eyes at her and said, "Well, you're still a chatterbox. Looks like everything's fine now."
Then he took out his phone from his pocket and said, "Add me as a contact."
An Ci sat up, turned his eyes away from the TV screen, and looked at him, "Are you leaving?"
Like her, An Yiyao and the others also finished their exams yesterday. Now that the course is over, they will naturally go home.
Anyang nodded, "My parents are here to pick me up." He came to find her as soon as he got his phone. After all, it would probably take a long time before they could meet again.
An Ci took away the pillow and fished out his phone from the crack in the sofa. "Are they leaving today too?"
Face unlock, she slid her finger across the screen and asked him to scan the code.
"Well, we're leaving now. Jianwen won't leave until the afternoon." After adding her as a friend, Anyang glanced at her profile picture. It was Fugui. Her nickname was very unique, with a "?"
An Ci asked casually, "Why?"
"It seems like he said his mother was busy and would come to pick him up in the afternoon." Anyang put away his phone.
"I have to go now. See you next year."
They only come here to attend classes in the second half of every year. If nothing unexpected happens, An Ci will also come to attend classes at that time.
An Ci grabbed a bag of potato chips and threw it to him, saying nothing more, "I wish you good grades."
After six months of hard work, it all depends on this exam.
Anyang caught the potato chips and smiled, "You may not know yet, but our results are out, and I'm fourth."
Although he was not first, he was at least in the middle level, which was satisfactory to his parents.
An Ci raised an eyebrow, "Who are the top three?"
"Jianwen is first, Yao is second, and Anyun is third."
An Yun is the only girl among the seven of them. She has the aura of a queen at a young age and will definitely be a strong woman in the future. An Ci has seen her many times, but he is not very familiar with her.
Anyang continued, "Yiheng ranked fifth this time. I thought he would be higher than me this time."
His grades have always been similar to An Yiheng's, but most of the time An Yiheng scores a few points higher than him. An Yiheng has been working very hard recently, and he occasionally comes to play with An Ci. He originally thought that his grades would be at the bottom this time, but he didn't expect a sudden turn of events.
An Ci raised his lip and said lazily, "Sometimes you can't study too hard, you need to relax your mind and combine work and rest."
Examinations also depend on your mentality. Compared with Anyang Yiheng, Anyang's mentality is much more stable.
Anyang smiled and said, "Let's go."
When he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at An Ci, "Oh, I saw Jianwen go to the infirmary this morning. He didn't look too good."
Ever since An Jianwen's father had an accident, they gradually became estranged. An Jianwen rarely ate or did homework with them, and often kept to himself.
An Ci's eyes flashed slightly. Why go to the infirmary?
Is he sick?
"Who came just now?" Aunt Hong came out of the kitchen and saw An Ci sitting alone on the sofa in a daze, and asked curiously.
"Anyang, he's going home. Come and tell me." An Ci jumped off the sofa and put on his down jacket. "Auntie Hong, do you still have the chicken porridge I had?"
"Yes, aren't you full?"
"Then pack a bowl for me, please."
"Pack it up? Who are you bringing it to?"
"I'll tell you when I get back." An Ci bent over and urged as he put on his shoes, "Hurry up, Aunt Hong."
Aunt Hong reluctantly replied "OK" and turned back to the kitchen.
An Ci hurried out with the packed chicken porridge, and Fugui followed her out.
She found An Jianwen's room with ease and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened.
When he saw the child standing outside the door, a light flashed in the depths of An Jianwen's eyes, and then quickly dimmed.
"Why are you here?" His voice was even hoarse than hers.
An Ci looked up at him and found that he seemed to have lost weight again, his face was haggard, and the faint smile in his eyes was gone, with a bit of helpless numbness.
She asked him, "Are you sick?"
An Jianwen said, "It's just a minor cold."
This was just to fool others. She knew very well how hard he had worked in the past few months to get the first place in the exam. If he continued to work day and night like this, he would run out of energy sooner or later.
"I brought you some shredded chicken porridge." An Ci held up the thermos box in his hand. "Auntie Hong made it herself. It's delicious. Try it."
