The clock on the wall kept ticking, and the silent atmosphere was filled with a sense of low pressure.
The door opened.
An Yuexi is back.
Seeing her parents running towards her, she looked confused and asked, "Dad, Mom, it's so late, why are you still not asleep?"
"By the way, my brother is back, right?" she said uncertainly, glancing secretly at her brother's room out of the corner of her eye.
Unexpectedly, her brother didn't come to class at night.
"Xinghe came back around seven o'clock and went straight into the room. He never came out. What happened to your brother? Yuexi, do you know?" Zhou Yao asked impatiently, his face full of worry.
An Yuexi didn't dare to meet her parents' gaze. There was a hint of guilt in her eyes. She lowered her head slightly and said, "I...I...don't know either. My brother won't tell me anything."
She concealed Lu Wanying's affairs.
Zhou Yao's face was filled with disappointment. An Ping supported her shoulders and said gently, "Ask Xinghe tomorrow morning. Let's go to bed first."
An Yuexi watched her parents enter her room and breathed a sigh of relief. When she passed by her brother's room, she looked at him with mixed feelings, and her hand subconsciously tightened when holding the shoulder strap of her schoolbag.
Didn’t you find Lu Wanying?
She lowered her eyes and went into her room.
At this moment, An Xinghe was leaning against the head of the bed, showing off his long legs. He stared straight at the only photo in his mobile phone.
The girl has bright eyes, white teeth and a beautiful smile.
It was Lu Wanying.
This was a photo he took secretly when he was tutoring her.
There is only this one.
He looked at her face and silently asked in his heart, "Where have you been? Do you hate me so much? You didn't even tell me you were leaving."
But that face was ultimately just a person sealed in a photo, unable to hear what he said or answer him.
He felt as if his heart was being violently stirred with a shovel, and the pain was excruciating.
It was almost a sleepless night.
The sky was turning pale, and a faint light slowly shone in, driving away the darkness in the room.
But An Xinghe was sunk into darkness and couldn't extricate himself.
His eyes seemed to roll a little. He couldn't let his parents worry.
His arm was sore from holding the phone, and his whole body ached from maintaining that position all night, making him very slow to even get out of bed.
He took out the eye drops from the drawer, dropped them into his dry eyes, squinted his eyes, and a drop of eye drops or tears slipped from the corner of his eyes.
The light just shone on his face, and there was a deep sadness hidden in his undisguised fatigue.
He went to the bathroom to take a shower, prepared breakfast before anyone else got up, left a note, closed the door, and left for school.
When the family got up and saw the hot breakfast on the table, they were all stunned.
When I saw the note, I was even more surprised, "Xinghe went to school so early?"
An Ping and Zhou Yao looked at each other worriedly, while An Yuexi bit her lip and said nothing.
Around eight o'clock.
An Xinghe walked to the gate of No. 2 Middle School as if in a trance, and subconsciously recalled the scenes here in his mind.
Her skin was as white as snow and her lips were purple from the cold. He bought her hot milk tea and... held her hand to warm her.
He was eating a bun outside the door. When he saw him, his expression changed. Wasn't this the student who came to scare him yesterday?
He rushed over with a little anger, "Classmate, you dare to come here after scaring me yesterday?"
An Xinghe said lightly, "I'm sorry."
The voice was tired and hoarse after staying up all night.
The security guard, Uncle Li, was too embarrassed to say anything more. Seeing that he looked tired and had dark circles under his eyes, he couldn't help but say, "Did you stay up all night playing games at the internet cafe yesterday? Student, staying up all night is not good. It affects your studies, not to mention your health. You should play less."
Seeing him silent, he couldn't help but lament, "Young people nowadays have such good living conditions that they don't know how to cherish the opportunity to study. Back then, I didn't even have the chance to go to high school. I can't even read a single word, and now I can only muddle through life. Alas..."
"No." An Xinghe denied.
Uncle Li looked at him puzzledly, "Not what?"
"I didn't stay up all night playing games, I just... couldn't sleep."
I miss her so much that I can't sleep.
An Xinghe thought subconsciously in his heart.
"Are you suffering from insomnia? Is it because of too much pressure from studying?" Uncle Li asked with concern.
Students from No. 2 Middle School arrived one after another, and Uncle Li couldn't chat with him here, so he went to guard the door. When he looked back inadvertently, the young man was gone.
Uncle Li always felt that he was full of unspeakable secrets and sighed.
An Xinghe went to the snack street again, walked through the places the two had walked, and finally stopped at Tan's Dry Pot Restaurant. It was so early now and it was not open yet.
Here, he gave her a perfect birthday.
Afterwards, he came to the alley where the two met again.
As soon as I came in, it was as if she was still in front of me.
"You still want me to take off your clothes? No..."
"What's wrong with you? You can't even tie a tie. Do you know that my dad said I can only tie a tie for my future husband..."
Here she was, drunk, and she said some things that made him think too much.”
An Xinghe was immersed in memories, and a smile subconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Wanying, let's be together."
The girl is as shy as a flower bud about to bloom, and her eyelashes are trembling like butterfly wings. The picture is so beautiful.
When they were together, he could finally kiss her legitimately. He started gently, but couldn't help but release the strong desire that he had suppressed in his heart.
The kiss became frantic, but she endured it.
An Xinghe tasted sweetness in his memories, but after her voice, smile and appearance disappeared from his mind, he returned to reality. The surroundings were completely silent, and bitterness spread in his mouth.
He leaned against the wall, unable to hide his sadness.
She still abandoned him.
After an unknown amount of time, the bell rang, and An Xinghe came back to his senses after being immersed in sadness.
He was still late.
In the office.
The head teacher still can't believe that An Xinghe has repeatedly ignored school rules. He has not even given an explanation since he came in.
"Why did you climb over the wall yesterday and why are you late again today?" the head teacher asked angrily.
"Feel sorry."
Two words, clean and concise, nothing else.
The head teacher looked at him in astonishment. "Do you know how much the story of you climbing over the wall yesterday has spread? And about being late this morning, if you don't give me an explanation, I won't be able to explain this to the school leaders, teachers, and students."
The head teacher subconsciously sided with An Xinghe, always feeling that he had his reasons, so he gave him many opportunities to explain.
