029
"You are so lucky, Senior!"
Mogo's eyes almost popped out of his head.
"After a family tragedy, I almost couldn't go to school, but then I met Sister Nan Ke. Was she the one who funded your studies?!"
The twists and turns in the story are naturally not suitable to be told to outsiders.
Of course Xing Chen could only tell Mogo in the simplest way.
Having anticipated Mogo's reaction, Xing Chen nodded slightly without much emotion.
Mogo seemed to be deflated.
"...You are really...lucky."
Xing Chen did not defend himself.
He thinks so too.
If he had not met Nan Ke, he would not know where he was or what he was doing now.
It's not even known whether he's alive.
"Why am I..."
Mogo's expression truly showed what he was thinking.
——Comparing yourself to others will make you feel nauseous.
Xing Chen blinked and comforted him: "At least you were only deceived for your sex life, not your money. Besides, Su Shuo is not bad looking."
Mogo was not happy at all.
"While my own failure is certainly sad, my friend's excellence... makes me grit my teeth and feel sour."
Xing Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Mogo gave him a pitiful look.
Then he sighed deeply: "Forget it, your fate is probably only one in ten million people."
His IV drip hasn't finished yet.
"What happened next?" Mogo was obviously very interested in the story.
Xing Chen was not stingy and never told anyone about it: "I did well in the high school entrance exam, and she was very happy. Later, I went to school in the city."
During the last days of preparing for the high school entrance examination, Xing Chen almost only talked to Nan Ke.
He replied to Nan Ke’s text messages and answered Nan Ke’s calls immediately.
Most of the time, the other party asked him if he had enough money, worried that he would be embarrassed to ask for it.
During that period, Xing Chen's life was filled with nothing but study and Nan Ke.
There is no room for anything else or anyone else.
He went back when his grandfather was buried. Apart from his cousin who asked him where he had been, the elders just looked at him with strange eyes from time to time and didn't ask a single question.
He told his cousin that he had a place to live and that he had an exam coming up and wanted to study hard.
When he returned to his residence, Xing Chen saw the dirt on his forehead in the mirror.
That was the stain he got when he kowtowed to his grandfather, making him look dirty and dusty.
Xing Chen stared at himself in the mirror for a long, long time.
He told himself that he must not forget what he looked like this, but he also shouldn't remember it all the time.
He had to move forward, without looking back.
After the exam, Xing Chen checked the answers with the teacher and felt much relieved.
The teacher asked him which school he was going to, and Xing Chen replied, "I'm going to a school in the city."
He probably couldn't forget the teacher's surprised expression. Xing Chen thought that there was probably no one here who didn't know his background and family situation.
Maybe because of this, Xing Chen was particularly excited when he saw Nan Ke again.
Of course he was too embarrassed to show it.
He felt that in Nan Ke's impression, he was a steady and reliable person.
But Nan Ke later denied it.
"No matter how you look at it, you were just a young boy showing off."
Xing Chen was secretly sad for a long time because of this sentence.
After such a long separation, the person I had been in contact with on the phone suddenly appeared in front of me, and at school.
Xing Chen was excited and surprised.
He subconsciously hid the letter he had just received in the book in his arms.
But Nan Ke walked over with a smile and took the book.
"Don't hide it, let me see it."
Xing Chen failed to stop Nan Ke from opening the letter in front of him because he reacted too slowly.
He didn't know why, after a girl confessed to him and stuffed a love letter into his pocket, he turned around and saw Nan Ke.
This is really...
The worst possible time to meet!
"The handwriting is nice... well, the writing is also good."
Nan Ke finished reading and put it back into the book.
Thank God, Xing Chen thought, no matter which Bodhisattva protected her, thank her for not reading it out loud.
Nan Ke patted Xing Chen's shoulder and said, "Young man, take off the burden on your shoulders for a while and feel the love that this world has given you."
Xing Chen said hurriedly: "I don't like her."
"I heard it." Nan Ke looked at him with a smile: "You rejected it very straightforwardly. The girl was almost crying out of anger."
Xing Chen frowned. He didn't want to discuss this matter with Nan Ke anymore.
"What brings you here?"
"I'll talk to your teacher about your situation. After all, I have no experience. I'll ask you what procedures and preparations are required for you to go to the city for high school."
Xing Chen felt warm in his heart.
Nan Ke didn't just pass by to see him, but came specifically for him.
This realization made him feel a surge of emotion.
Although Nan Ke came here as his elder...
Xing Chen felt satisfied but also a little disappointed.
Nan Ke skipped his teacher and went to visit the school leaders.
Xing Chen was waiting for her in the classroom, which was Nan Ke's request.
He thought that perhaps his family would inevitably come up in their conversation.
Nan Ke insisted on avoiding him, perhaps wanting him to retain some rare self-esteem.
Xing Chen was also a little nervous while waiting.
He was worried that it would not be easy for him to go to school in the city.
Maybe there is some rule that none of them knows about, and Nan Ke will find it troublesome, so he chooses to give up at this time?
No, no, no, she doesn't look like someone who would give up easily.
If she didn't want to deal with the matter anymore, she would probably throw him some money and let him solve all the problems himself.
But Xing Chen didn't know what was wrong with him. He clearly believed that Nan Ke would not ignore him and that he could continue studying no matter what, but he was still very worried.
The classroom was empty except for him.
Everyone is liberated.
Xing Chen heard his classmates discussing their situations a few days ago. Most of them had parents who promised to take them on trips after the exams.
If it weren't for Nan Ke, he would definitely be very sad now.
But because of Nan Ke, he no longer envied those children whose parents were around them.
He also had a place to go, having obtained Nan Ke's permission.
When Nan Ke came back, Xing Chen was almost falling asleep waiting for her.
"Let's go."
Xing Chen looked at Nan Ke's expression carefully, but couldn't see anything.
This is a good thing.
He thought.
At least she didn't look frustrated or defeated, which proved that taking him away wasn't that difficult.
"I told the vice-president that you didn't want too many people to know about this, especially your relatives."
Nan Ke chuckled: "But I also lied. I said I was a friend of your mother's. This can be regarded as a confirmation of what you said before."
She looked at Xing Chen and said, "If I tell them that I have nothing to do with you, it will sound like a fairy tale, right? They will definitely think I'm from some human organ trafficking organization. I hope you don't mind."
Xing Chen shook his head slightly.
Nan Ke continued to share: "I said that your mother has a new family now, and it is not convenient for her to handle your affairs in person, so she asked me to help."
She snorted coldly: "But the vice principal is not very responsible. What I say is what I say, and he doesn't question me any further."
Xing Chen pursed his lips and said, "They all know about me, and they all know that apart from grandpa, no one in the family cares about my life or death."
He lowered his head and whispered, "A lot of people will be relieved when I'm gone."
Nan Ke stopped and Xing Chen stopped too.
Xing Chen saw Nan Ke's reluctant eyes and her raised hand.
He felt the pad of her thumb gently rub his face.
Nan Ke smiled and said, "I'm not taking advantage of you."
Xing Chen looked at her hand as she took it back, and a word came to his mind.
Still wanting more.
He said, "I know."
Of course, Nan Ke just wanted to comfort him.
He also pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm lucky enough. It just sounds a little miserable."
He smiled and said, "Fortunately, you are not part of some human organ trafficking organization."
Nan Ke also laughed: "Yes, fortunately I am not."
Xing Chen saw Nan Ke’s car parked at the school gate.
This was the end of the story. He didn't mind being seen by others and followed Nan Ke into the car.
They returned to where Xing Chen lived.
Nan Ke asked him, "Do you want to come back with me later? Or do you want to wait until you've taken care of things here before going back?"
Xing Chen noticed that Nan Ke used the word "go back", which made him happy instantly.
"I have nothing else to do. I'll be leaving in a moment."
He didn't have much here, just a few sets of clothes that Nan Ke bought for him, which he could take with him and leave.
Nan Ke nodded gently, "Then I'll go up with you to pack up. We should try to set off early before it's too late."
Xing Chen agreed at first, but later he was not sure whether he could see anyone in the room.
He suggested that Nan Ke wait for him in the car while he could clean up.
"Can you? Don't you forget something."
"Okay, no."
Xing Chen was firm in his attitude.
Nan Ke no longer tried to stop him and let him go.
Xing Chen packed up quickly and didn't make Nan Ke wait too long.
Seeing Xing Chen appear, Nan Ke was surprised: "So soon?"
Xing Chen felt a little embarrassed.
Nan Ke laughed and said, "Don't worry, I really exist and I won't disappear suddenly."
Xing Chen didn't say anything.
In fact, he was really afraid of this possibility.
Of course, Nan Ke drove again on the return trip.
Before that day, Xing Chen had imagined countless times what might happen if he left here.
He thought he would be reluctant, sad, or proud, or indescribably depressed, but nothing happened. He felt very calm.
Xing Chen watched the familiar scenery all the way and was thrown behind his mind. Suddenly he realized that everything here had nothing to do with him anymore.
There was a faint tearing pain in my heart.
Soon, a sense of pleasure overwhelmed the pain.
Finally, I returned to unconsciousness.
Everything returned to calm.
