The morning breeze blew, and a faint scent of soap came from him.
Maybe because he was going back to school, he had just had his hair cut, a neat flat top, newly trimmed sideburns, and his beard had just been shaved. His face looked thinner and had smaller features, but he looked very energetic.
She stood still at the gate and said calmly, "Good morning."
He looked her over quickly from top to bottom, "Are you going out? To school?"
"I...take a walk." She hesitated.
"Practice walking?"
"Um."
He was about to open the gate, "Shall I take you for a walk?"
"No, I can do it myself," she said quickly, adding, "The doctor said I have to practice on my own. I can't always rely on others."
After listening to this, he nodded silently.
The two of them stood facing each other like this for some unknown reason.
There was only him and her, no one else, and the atmosphere became purer.
The spring morning breeze is still a little cool. I don’t know if it is because the wind cools down the temperature in our hearts when it blows past, and the feeling of two people facing each other also becomes cooler.
There was no tension as in the game of passing the parcel yesterday, and the awkwardness of bickering and yet getting along so closely in the hospital many days ago also seemed to fade away gradually. Standing in the cool morning breeze, it seemed that suddenly the only thing left between the two was the relationship of saying "hello" when they met.
This is what she wanted, right?
It was the distance she had always talked about wanting in the hospital - she even said: a good ex should be like...
She never wanted to mention that word again.
She smiled and said, "Are you going back to school?"
"Yes." He answered briefly and quickly.
"Then go quickly and don't be late." She smiled again.
Sometimes, laughter is the best disguise, which can cover up many emotions.
"Yeah." He was the same as before, never saying two words if he could express something in one.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, he heard her call from behind, "Gu Juncheng!"
"Huh?" He turned around immediately.
She leaned against the gate and smiled at him calmly, "Thank you."
"Thank me?" He was slightly stunned.
"Yes." She said, "Thank you for the amulet and the notes."
He was silent for a moment before saying, "Nothing, just a side note."
Then he walked forward.
Lin Qingping looked at the familiar street and his back, knowing that he would walk from here to the bus stop and then take the bus to school.
Those days when she was filled with satisfaction and only saw him, when she had to accompany him to the platform early in the morning and watch him get on the train, were sometimes far away and sometimes near, and were finally lost in the northern wind.
The words "by the way" he just said rang in my ears.
Really? Was it just a coincidence? If making a lucky charm was a coincidence, she would believe it, but copying a notebook was also a coincidence, who would believe it?
Lin Qingping was ultimately unable to walk to school by herself.
Just as Gu Juncheng was staying at the doorstep for a while, Gu Youlian came out. Finally, it was Gu Youlian who accompanied her to school, went to the dormitory to get books, and then went to the classroom with her before she left.
Originally, Gu Youlian had planned to pick her up at noon and in the afternoon, but Zhong Xiaoxiao was very happy to see Lin Qingping coming back. She was already completely well, so she told Gu Youlian not to bother and that she would just take care of Lin Qingping.
So Zhong Xiaoxiao accompanied her at noon and in the afternoon. They went to the cafeteria to eat together, went back to the dormitory to take a nap together, and then attended classes together in the afternoon.
It was still inconvenient for Lin Qingping to live in the dormitory as it was now, so she decided to go home at night, and Zhong Xiaoxiao sent her home.
The two of them walked slowly from the school to Lin Qingping's home.
At this time, it had been almost a month since the last time they met in the hospital. Lin Qingping had no idea what was going on between Zhong Xiaoxiao and her lover.
But Zhong Xiaoxiao didn't tell her about her plan, so she didn't ask. The two of them just talked about school matters.
Zhong Xiaoxiao felt very sorry that all her notes were lost in that emergency.
"I have it. I left it at home. You can see if you can use it when you get back." Lin Qingping said hurriedly.
"Do you still have yours?" Zhong Xiaoxiao was surprised.
Lin Qingping didn't want to explain too much and just said "hmm".
This was the first time that Zhong Xiaoxiao came to Lin Qingping's house.
She knew that Lin Qingping's family was well-off, because her roommate Lu Xiaoxue often talked about Lin Qingping, saying what Lin Qingping wore and used. She also knew that Lin Qingping had a family in the capital, but she didn't expect it to be such a big family...
"Lin Qingping, I'll take you here. If it's convenient for you, bring your notes to school tomorrow and I'll borrow them to take a look." Zhong Xiaoxiao stood at the door, a little timid, and didn't dare to go in.
"It's okay, come in and sit down. There should be no one else at home at this time." Lin Qingping invited her. At this time, Zhiyuan and Xiaomai should have been taken to the store by Gu Youlian or Sister Zhao.
Zhong Xiaoxiao walked in hesitantly, and sat wherever Lin Qingping asked her to sit, not daring to move.
Lin Qingping took out a notebook from the bookcase and gave it to her.
She had difficulty walking, so she wanted to save energy, so she handed it to him across the large desk. When Zhong Xiaoxiao reached out to take it, her arm was exposed, with faint scars on it.
Lin Qingping grabbed her hand at once. Zhong Xiaoxiao was so scared that she immediately pulled her hand back and pulled her sleeve hard to hide her wrist.
"Xiaoxiao?" Lin Qingping shouted in surprise.
Zhong Xiaoxiao's eyes welled up with tears, and she shook her head in panic, "Lin Qingping, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I have to go back to school right away. Bring your notes to school when it's convenient for you to borrow them for me. I'm leaving now. Thank you!"
After saying that, Zhong Xiaoxiao ran out the door.
Lin Qingping had difficulty walking and couldn't catch up at all.
It was only then that she suddenly realized that, during the investigation, when they slept on the kang, Zhong Xiaoxiao always waited for her to sleep first before she went to bed. It was not just because her clothes were worn out, but because she did not want her to see the injuries on her body!
If Zhong Xiaoxiao and her lover just had relationship problems and Zhong Xiaoxiao did not intend to tell her, Lin Qingping might not take the initiative to intervene. However, Zhong Xiaoxiao was actually injured and she could not tolerate it!
She could actually guess where these injuries came from.
Zhong Xiaoxiao was studying here, why could she get hurt? There was only one possibility - it had something to do with her lover!
Having made up her mind to take care of it, she took the initiative to approach Zhong Xiaoxiao the next day. However, Zhong Xiaoxiao began to avoid her.
She had no mobility and was completely unable to catch up. She also couldn't ask for help from others, or else Zhong Xiaoxiao's secret would be known to a third person. She could only watch as Zhong Xiaoxiao hid far away. Two days later, the weekend arrived, and Zhong Xiaoxiao asked for two days off, saying that her child was sick and went home...
Lin Qingping could only stare blankly at Zhong Xiaoxiao who was walking away in a hurry with her yellow schoolbag on her back.
Coincidentally, this weekend is Lin Qingping's birthday.
It's April again.
