Gu Xichao was so frightened by the kiss that his heart was beating. There was a mirror opposite the bed. He looked up suddenly and saw himself in the mirror. The look in his eyes when he looked at Su Nianmei was something he had never seen on this face before.
Having lived for so long, he hasn't felt this kind of emotion for a long time. It was both restrained and unbridled, like a fire in the snow in winter, burning blatantly but also forbearingly.
Su Nianmei looked like she had a fever and was drunk. She threw herself into his arms, her arms around his neck, her head resting on his neck, leaning back, not saying a word, not moving a muscle.
Su Nianmei felt so hot that she felt hot all over. She opened her mouth slightly and the hot air she exhaled fell on Gu Xichao's earlobe.
Gu Xichao trembled all over. He raised his hand to straighten Su Nianmei's head and wanted to put Su Nianmei back on the bed.
My hand just touched my hair.
"Bang" he was hit again.
Su Nianmei yelled, "Liar!"
Gu Xichao didn't hear clearly, so he just said "hmm" and raised his long eyebrows.
The hand on her neck was instantly withdrawn, and Su Nianmei curled up in the blanket.
Gu Xichao bent down and half-knelt on the bed to tuck the quilt into her.
Give cold medicine, apply hot compress with warm towel, wipe the palms of hands and soles of feet, all the things are done in an orderly manner.
It was not until the middle of the night that Su Nianmei's fever subsided. Gu Xichao was relieved, but his heart was still tense. He was more nervous than when he was preparing for the college entrance examination, even though he had not passed the exam either.
Gu Xichao tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep. In the morning, when the light shone through the gap in the curtains and revealed a vague shadow on the ground, Gu Xichao finally closed his eyes.
Su Nianmei had something on her mind, so she woke up on time at six in the morning. Her head was a little dizzy, but her consciousness was exceptionally clear.
She sat up with the help of the bedside table, holding a piece of clothes in her hand. She saw that Gu Xichao's coat was held in her palm, and sweat was oozing out of her palm.
Looking again, Gu Xichao was lying at the end of the bed with his eyes narrowed, his shirt several buttons undone, and he was sleeping soundly.
Su Nianmei wanted to get up and put clothes on Gu Xichao. As soon as she got up and made a sound, Gu Xichao woke up.
"You're awake." Su Nianmei said, her voice still a little hoarse.
Gu Xichao tilted his head, his dark and deep eyes staring at her.
It seems to have magical power, and it looks gentle no matter how you look at it.
Su Nianmei was startled by being stared at suddenly, and she sat down on the bed, not moving.
Gu Xichao sat up straight and there was a muffled "thump" sound from under his body. The towel beside him was knocked over and fell into the basin.
Only then did Su Nianmei realize that Gu Xichao was sitting on a wooden bench, where he had been lying all night.
The towel fell into the water, splashing a few drops of water, and the water in the basin was also stirred up by a few ripples.
Gu Xichao stood up, staggering, and walked to Su Nianmei. He reached out and touched her forehead. It was no longer hot. He said, "Why did you get up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Su Nianmei lowered her eyes and looked at the basin of water. She felt that it was just like her heart, with waves everywhere.
She looked up at Gu Xichao again and reached out to touch his leg.
Gu Xichao immediately retracted his legs.
"Numb?" she asked.
Gu Xichao smiled and said, "It's not numb."
Su Nianmei poked him again, her expression vicious and vindictive, but she didn't use too much force.
Gu Xichao smiled, pinched her face and said, "Numb."
Su Nianmei felt secretly happy.
After breakfast, Gu Xichao prepared to send Su Nianmei to the examination room.
In order to avoid being late due to traffic jams, Gu Xichao rode a bicycle.
She sat on the back of the bicycle, holding onto the underside of the front seat with her hands, and swayed on the seat.
Gu Xichao glanced at the shadow on the ground and said, "Sit down."
Su Nianmei raised her eyes. Even when riding a bicycle, Gu Xichao's back was straight. She pursed her lips and said stubbornly, "Sit still."
With a sudden brake, Su Nianmei bumped into Gu Xichao with a "bang", her nose hitting his back, and her lips followed suit.
Su Nianmei made a muffled "hmm" sound, covered her nose and said, "Why don't you just ride your bike properly?"
Gu Xichao stopped, holding the bicycle with one hand, and supporting himself with his long legs on the ground. He stopped the bicycle steadily, then stretched out his other hand to hold Su Nianmei's arm, wrapped it around his waist, and hugged her tightly. With a smile in his voice, he said, "This is called sitting properly."
Su Nianmei pressed her face against Gu Xichao's body, and suddenly she felt that her previous anger was unreasonable.
Gao Qiu Sheng stood under the second crooked tree at the entrance of the examination hall, holding the last admission ticket in his hand. Although it was June, his legs were shaking constantly.
This is the college entrance examination, the most important event in many people’s lives!
His precious Youhuahuaju! Yes! Late!
Even though it was only three minutes later than the agreed time!
Holding the last remaining admission ticket, Gao Qiu Sheng's hands began to tremble.
I imagined a billion possible outcomes:
Got a problem along the way?
Don’t have your ID card?
Give up the exam?
…
Every time he thought of a result, Gao Qiu Sheng's face turned paler.
I saw a bicycle riding steadily towards me. The man riding in front of the bicycle had a strong temperament and a straight back. He intentionally or unintentionally blocked the sunlight for the girl behind him.
Gao Qiu Sheng saw his girlfriend Huahua sitting in the back seat, with her arms around the man's waist and her head resting on the man's back.
Her face was still rosy.
At first glance, they look like a perfect match.
Gao Qiu Sheng was stunned and then breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt lost again. With his precious brain, he should be contributing to the country, but at such a young age, he was indulging in love affairs.
He shook his head and sighed: What a sin.
Seeing Su Nianmei getting off the bus, Gao Qiusheng immediately ran over, stuffed the admission ticket into Su Nianmei's hand, and said, "Xiao Su, you are finally here."
Su Nianmei took the admission ticket and said with a guilty look on her face: "Teacher Gao, I'm sorry, I was delayed on the way and came late."
Gao Qiu Sheng panicked at first, but when he saw that Su Nianmei was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and reminded her several times of the precautions for the exam. According to Su Nianmei's ability, these words would have been unnecessary, but when he saw Su Nianmei, the words came out of his mouth unconsciously.
In the middle of his words, Gao Qiu Sheng suddenly saw the man next to him staring at him.
The man was wearing casual clothes, but somehow Gao Qiu Sheng felt that there was a sense of hostility in the man.
Gao Qiu Sheng almost stopped talking, and his mind paused for a moment.
He caught a glimpse of Su Nianmei who was listening to him obediently.
She looked well behaved, responding with "hmm" one by one, and her mood calmed down a lot.
When Gu Xichao saw Su Nianmei's teacher looking at him, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a faint smile, and nodded as a greeting.
Gao Qiu Sheng felt that the hostility around the man had subsided, and the man looked at him with tenderness in his eyes.
Gao Qiu Sheng sighed again. He thought, it’s over. My precious student will probably be ruined by this man in this life.
When the school gate opened for the exam, Su Nianmei walked into the examination room among the crowd.
Suddenly, an idea came to my mind, and I stuck my head out to look out of the school gate through the dark crowd.
It was a little after eight in the morning and the sun wasn't too hot.
The warm yellow sunlight sprinkled on the ground, making everything warm.
Gu Xichao stood at the door, standing like a pine or cypress, standing out among the many people accompanying the exam.
Gao Qiu Sheng took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and waved at Su Nianmei.
Su Nianmei turned around and walked into the examination room again, and then left without looking back.
My heart feels warm and full of strength.
Two days passed like this, and Su Nianmei finished her last exam and left the examination room.
She felt like something was different in the world.
The sky is blue, the clouds are light, and even the hot wind becomes gentle.
Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xichao were standing outside the door, in the first row, and Gu Laoliu and Jin Chunfen were even next to them.
After going through the college entrance examination, she was like being reborn from the ashes. In this era of relatively backward knowledge level, she saw her own hope and the hope for the future.
With every step she took, she felt lighter, and the worries and sorrows she had suffered in the past few months were reduced.
When they saw Su Nianmei coming out, Jin Chunfen and Gu Xiaobao were very excited. They stood at the door and waved vigorously at Su Nianmei. Gu Xiaobao held a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
Su Nianmei took it and it smelled delicious.
"Dad, Mom." Su Nianmei greeted everyone one by one.
Jin Chunfen asked, "Xiaomei, how do you think you performed? We have been so shy these past two days that we didn't dare to ask you, fearing that it would affect your performance."
Gu Laoliu patted his wife on the shoulder and said, "I have studied the newspapers. They all said that you can't ask after the exam. It will affect the candidates' mood."
Jin Chunfen glared at Gu Laoliu.
Gu Laoliu smiled, then his mouth closed, and a bunch of wrinkles appeared on his face.
Su Nianmei said: "Most of the questions this time are quite basic, but the last few final questions are still difficult."
Jin Chunfen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiaomei, you don't know that the night before your college entrance examination, Xi Chao told him that you had a fever. He went in and out for almost the entire night. My heart was in knots. Just keep it simple."
Gu Laoliu continued, "Yes, it's not a big deal. Just relax after the exam. Don't listen to your mother trying to make you nervous. If you do well, go out more. If you don't do well, it doesn't matter. Just walk around more. The college entrance examination is not a big deal in your life."
Su Nianmei smiled and said that although she had a fever in this exam, she performed normally and it shouldn't be a big problem for her to get into a better school.
Gu Xiaobao was held on Gu Xichao's neck, and his little hand was holding Su Nianmei's hand. He said, "Grandpa and grandma, don't worry. My mom is a good student. She will definitely do well in the exam."
The whole family burst into laughter.
Gu Xichao walked beside Su Nianmei with slow steps. Every step he took fell on Su Nianmei's shadow, as if he wanted to step into Su Nianmei's heart.
When I entered the house, the curtains in the inner room were drawn.
It looked pitch black from the outside.
Su Nianmei was suspicious. From the moment she entered the house, the whole family found various excuses to leave.
She pushed open the door of the room and stepped in with her left foot.
A row of candles lit up, floating in the darkness like will-o'-the-wishes.
Su Nianmei's heart trembled.
I stepped in with my right foot and another row of candles began to float up.
Two rows of candles are connected together, winding, and look like a heart from a distance.
The crooked candle flames jumped up and down in the darkness, and Su Nianmei actually felt that there was some beauty in it.
She heard Gu Xiaobao shouting in his grandmother's voice, "3, 2——"
Before he could finish saying "one", someone covered Gu Xiaobao's mouth.
A tiny voice in the darkness yelled, "My dear, please keep your voice down, or your mother will hear it all."
Gu Xiaobao nodded and said "oh" a few times.
I can hear it very clearly.
Su Nianmei couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Suddenly, with a "whoosh", the tail of the heart slowly lit up, forming a path of light.
Two figures, one big and one small, emerged from the darkness.
Gu Xichao and Gu Xiaobao slowly walked out of the darkness holding a cake.
Gu Xiaobao is small and walks slowly. Gu Xichao bent over, holding the cake base, and took every step carefully.
The candles formed a path, and Gu Xichao and Gu Xiaobao slowly moved into that heart.
They smiled and said, "Happy birthday!"
Su Nianmei stood there in a daze. Her hands and feet were a little stiff. She felt the blood from her feet rushing to her head. Her body felt soft, as if she was stepping on cotton. She couldn't tell whether she was surprised or happy.
A few more heads popped out from the darkness, and Su Nianmei was startled again. Uncle Ji also came out, supporting Mrs. Ji's hand.
Gu Laoliu and Jin Chunfen hurried from the yard to the inner room.
As they walked away, Jin Chunfen said disdainfully to Gu Laoliu, "I just said that we should have hidden inside the house!"
Gu Laoliu waved his hand and walked in.
Everyone was present, and a chorus of voices fell into Su Nianmei's ears, saying, "Happy birthday, Xiaomei!"
Su Nianmei still held the flower in her hand. She lowered her head and sniffed it. She felt that the flower was even more fragrant.
The author has something to say: Uncle Ji: "As the largest investor in this event, I don't deserve to have a name!"
Next chapter, birthday celebration, maybe there will be excitement~
