Chapter 1 Are You Waiting for Me on Purpose?
The 28-year-old Bai Yueguang, wearing a Chinese-style red gown, sat in front of the mirror in the dressing room, skillfully applying blush to her cheeks. She looked left and right in the mirror, then picked up the eyeliner and drew a line upwards at the end of her eyes with dissatisfaction. The Phoenix Crown lay quietly next to a makeup palette, and the room was filled with bright red "囍" characters, full of traditional atmosphere, except for the heavy modern makeup on Bai Yueguang's face.
Today was her wedding day. Bai Yueguang looked at her makeup in the mirror. There was only one step left to complete it. Soothing background music was playing in the hall outside the door. Bai Yueguang carefully applied lipstick with her orchid fingers raised, not even daring to breathe.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and Gu Yao walked in with a square gift box on her back and high heels. Bai Yueguang looked back resentfully, and her cherry-like mouth had turned into a crooked bloody mouth.
Gu Yao put the box down, looked at Bai Yueguang's little face and said reproachfully, "There will only be two possible outcomes if the groom-to-be sees you in this state in the auditorium."
Bai Yueguang turned around, picked up the makeup remover cotton pad and carefully fixed her crooked lipstick, and asked, "What are the two results?"
"She would be scared to death on the spot, or she would run away from the marriage." Gu Yao's calm answer was full of certainty. She began to unseal the box she brought.
Bai Yueguang was already accustomed to Gu Yao's pickyness. She put on lipstick and put on the Phoenix Crown. After everything was ready, she turned around and showed her wedding dress to her best friend as if she was presenting a treasure.
Bai Yueguang took small steps skillfully, and pursed her lips into a self-pitying smile. After turning around in place, she asked in a shrill voice: "Yaoyao, do I look particularly beautiful today?"
Gu Yao was taking out a large, beautifully crafted artificial candle and placing it on the table. When Bai Yueguang asked her this, she was so scared that her hands trembled and she almost dropped the candle on the ground. Gu Yao lazily raised her eyes and scanned Bai Yueguang up and down, saying, "Bai Yueguang, your aesthetic taste is really an unbearable disaster in life! The Chinese wedding dress itself is gorgeous enough, and you put on such heavy makeup. The worldly air emanating from you is really unstoppable! If you don't know, you would think that your uncle and aunt married you to some mountain king!"
Gu Yao walked over and stuffed a whole box of makeup remover cotton pads into Bai Yueguang's hands, and ordered: "Here! Change into a light and elegant makeup. You are getting married today, not going to a nightclub?"
Bai Yueguang was scolded by Gu Yao like a machine gun. She shrank her head, stuck out her tongue in anger, and dared not say anything more. She could only turn around silently and remove her makeup reluctantly.
She and Gu Yao had known each other for nearly ten years, and she had been scolded by her for most of that time. She happened to be a coward, and when Gu Yao glared or opened her mouth, Bai Yueguang could only nod.
Behind the scenes of the auditorium, Father Bai was wearing a neat suit, holding his daughter Bai Yueguang on his arm. Everything was ready, waiting to enter the venue. However, the wedding music was about to end, but the groom had not arrived yet. Father Bai had a stern face, and Mother Bai was anxiously making a phone call.
Gu Yao was relatively calm. She snatched the beauty phone from Bai Yueguang's hand and threatened, "It's already this hour and you're still taking selfies! The groom can't be found!"
Bai Yueguang was stunned, and Bai's father and mother also heard what Gu Yao said. Bai's father angrily tore off his tie, and Bai's mother held the phone that no one answered in silence. Gu Yao originally just wanted to scare Bai Yueguang because she was too heartless, but the people behind the scenes all panicked after hearing her words.
At this time, the emcee on the stage had already started speaking, and the emcee and the guests below had no idea that the groom had disappeared.
"Hello, distinguished guests..."
In the backstage, Bai's father was so angry that his eyes were wide open. Gu Yao hid aside to call a familiar friend. Bai's mother held Bai Yueguang's hand. Bai Yueguang bit his lip and lowered his head with an expression of sorrow for the world.
The MC on the stage had already lit the large artificial candle, which was specially made by Bai's father according to his own aesthetic taste, so that the newlyweds could blow the candle and make a wish during the wedding ceremony. The faint candlelight lit up, and a more exciting background music sounded. These were all designed by Bai's father himself, but now it seemed particularly ironic.
At this time, it happened that Bai Yueguang's younger brother Bai Song passed by the backstage with misty eyes. When Bai's father saw him, he stomped his feet and yelled, "Bai Song! Why are you sleeping in again! Something happened!" Bai Song was frightened by the sudden roar, and his misty eyes focused instantly. He only heard the three words "something happened"!
Bai Song looked around and saw a flash of fire in the gap between the curtains separating the backstage and the auditorium. At this time, under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, the light inside the auditorium gradually dimmed. The atmosphere was already set off to be charming and romantic, waiting for the bride and groom to enter...
It happened in a flash. Bai Song quickly looked around and saw fire extinguishers placed in the corridor near the door. The knowledge that the teacher had taught in the safety class quickly flashed through his mind.
So without thinking, he yelled, "Let me do it!" Then he ran with a fire extinguisher in hand, through the backstage, and straight to the auditorium. With the passionate background music, Bai Song's heroic complex burned like a raging fire!
He only heard the sound of the wind blowing in his ears. Everyone else was in the background. Nothing could stop him! He crossed mountains and ridges, crossed the Yellow River, and climbed over the grass, and finally avoided the interception of the people in the background!
Hey? Wait a minute, why are you stopping him? Who was stopping him just now? What was dad yelling at? Why is his sister glaring at him?
Never mind! Putting out the fire is the most important thing!
Seventeen-year-old Bai Song was tall and strong, and he stepped onto the stage in no time. The emcee was an old man, and he thought it was someone making trouble. He was so scared that his legs were shaking and he pulled out his crutches from under the stage to block in front of him and kept backing away. Bai Song didn't care about that. He shook the fire extinguisher several times skillfully and quickly, then removed the lead seal and pulled out the safety pin. He held the nozzle in one hand and the pressure handle in the other hand, and sprayed it wildly at the candle. The weak flame of the candle quickly went out, and the emcee was unlucky. He was "baptized" by the dry powder sprayed from the fire extinguisher.
The MC took off his glasses, which had been sprayed white, and his already sparse hair was blown even thinner. The audience was horrified and didn't know what to do.
Bai's father and mother rushed up from the backstage. Bai's mother snatched the fire extinguisher from Bai Song's hand and pulled him off the stage. Bai's father was so angry that his hands were shaking. His future son-in-law was nowhere to be seen, and his son came over to disrupt the situation.
Gu Yao heard the noise and ran up from the backstage. The scene was in a mess. Gu Yao shook her head and walked to the sad Bai Yueguang and stood side by side with her. Gu Yao asked, "Is your brother being stupid again?"
Bai Yueguang felt extremely sad. He rubbed his eyes, remained silent and just nodded.
At this moment, the phone in Gu Yao's hand suddenly rang, and everyone's focus was on Gu Yao. Gu Yao answered the phone under everyone's gaze. After listening for a while, her expression became more and more serious. After hanging up the phone, Gu Yao turned around and looked at Bai Yueguang solemnly...
When Bai Yueguang was a child, she liked to eat fried eggs. Bai Zhenhua told her that when she grew up, she could marry the egg seller at the street corner and eat fried eggs every day. Later, Bai Yueguang liked to eat canned peaches. Bai Zhenhua told her that if she studied hard and became a scientist, she could go to work in a canning factory and have endless cans every day. Later, Bai Yueguang became fascinated with dancing and wanted to sign up for a street dance class. When Bai Zhenhua learned about it, he happily pedaled his old "28-bar" bicycle and forced Bai Yueguang, who was crying, to her grandmother, who was the lead dancer of the dance team at the senior citizen club near her home. A week later, Bai Yueguang's grandmother's dance team, led by Bai Yueguang, could "dance" to Michael Jackson's music in the square, and Bai Zhenhua was very pleased.
Who is Bai Zhenhua? Bai Yueguang's biological father.
Fortunately, she did not marry an egg seller, nor did she become a scientist and work in a cannery. She retired from square dancing early, waving goodbye without a cloud. However, her father, Lao Bai, accepted baskets of eggs and vegetables sent by the old ladies in the club. For this reason, Lao Bai had talked to Bai Yueguang late at night many times, hoping that she would return to the dance world, but Bai Yueguang refused on the grounds that she should study hard and make progress every day.
During that period, Old Bai often stood in front of Bai Yueguang's door while hugging her biological mother. The two elders looked at Bai Yueguang's stubborn and tenacious back as she sat at the desk studying under the lamp with tears in their eyes, and couldn't help but sigh: "Our daughter has finally grown up!" But the good times didn't last long. This sigh only lasted until the end of the month when they received the report card showing that Bai Yueguang once again ranked last in the class.
In the teachers' family building of Yali Middle School, the gentle evening breeze dissipated some of the daytime heat. The children who usually gathered downstairs and chattered were nowhere to be seen. Several retired old teachers sat in the pavilion downstairs, fanning themselves with cattail leaves and playing chess. Occasionally, adults with briefcases parked their bicycles downstairs. Older children rushed into the corridor with schoolbags on their backs, looking forward to it. They just came back from school and couldn't wait to go home and turn on the TV. In the era without the Internet, everyone's happiness was pure and simple. The cartoons played on TV at six o'clock every night were the greatest pleasure for children.
The old desktop TV was square like a black box, and in front of the small screen were many small faces with wide eyes. They were completely absorbed in the content on the TV, their eyebrows were sometimes frowned, their mouths were slightly open, and their expressions were dull and cute.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" and an explosion sounded from the TV. The children in front of the TV all leaned back in fright.
A voice full of justice came from the "black box": "Robots exist to protect the city! I will not allow you bad guys to harm the world!"
Then, a wail came from the "black box". The big devil was defeated, and the children spontaneously applauded. Everyone seemed to be there, and they were relieved that the robot had defeated the big devil. They looked at each other and smiled with satisfaction.
A little boy in the crowd walked to the TV and turned off the TV that had already started playing commercials. He stood in front of the TV and said proudly, "I have a new robot toy that looks exactly like the one on TV! Do you believe it?"
A group of children looked at each other, and one little boy stood up and said in a rather unconvinced tone: "What if you don't have it?"
"If I didn't, I'd be a puppy!"
As he spoke, the little boy pulled out a box from behind his sofa and carefully took out a robot toy that looked exactly like the one in the cartoon. The children were amazed.
"Ji Xu, lend me the robot to play with!"
"You really have it! Ji Xu you are amazing!"
"Lend it to me first! I helped you with your homework last time!"
"No, lend it to me first. Ji Xu and I go to school together every day!"
Everyone was arguing and fighting, and finally it escalated into a fight. A group of children swarmed towards Ji Xu, frightening him so much that he stepped back again and again, stumbling and dropping the robot toy in his hand to the ground. The majestic robot turned into a "disabled person" with broken limbs. Everyone at the scene fell silent, and their eyes secretly glanced at Ji Xu. Ji Xu's face turned red, and he finally couldn't hold it back and cried out "wow". A group of six or seven-year-old children panicked for a while, and no one dared to step forward to comfort him.
At this time, a little boy with fair skin and eyes like two black grapes squeezed in from the back. He found screwdrivers, tweezers, pliers and other tools from somewhere, and knelt in front of the broken robot with his arms full of tools.
"Lin Nanfeng, can you fix it?" Ji Xu sniffed and asked expectantly.
Lin Nanfeng said nothing, but placed all the tools in his hands neatly on the ground, just like a doctor entering an operating room. He reached out to pick up the robot and looked around, then sighed maturely and said, "It's seriously injured. From the perspective of gravity, it's definitely dead."
Everyone gasped. Although they didn't understand what Lin Nanfeng was saying, at their age, "death" was already a serious word.
"I'm going to do an autopsy on it right now so I can find out the exact cause of death." As he spoke, Lin Nanfeng's chubby little hands deftly picked up a screwdriver from the ground.
The faces of the children present had changed, and they were all terrified. "Dissection" was a word that only appeared in horror stories that parents told them to scare them, but now it was happening right before their eyes.
Lin Nanfeng was very interested in dismantling it. He took off an arm, then a leg, and then took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wrap them.
Lin Nanfeng explained: "Wrap the severed body parts with wet cloth to keep them moist. This will effectively stop the body from decaying."
Ji Xu looked at the flying tools in his good friend Lin Nanfeng's hands and the stern expression on his face. He had forgotten to feel sorry for his robot.
At this moment, Lin Nanfeng suddenly grabbed Ji Xu, touched Ji Xu's knee, and said to the people present: "There is a bone inside, which is specifically responsible for the curvature of our entire leg. If we cut it from here," Lin Nanfeng paused, gestured on Ji Xu's knee with his hand, and continued: "Then this leg will be useless."
Ji Xu pulled his legs back suddenly, and he felt his hair stand on end. His friends retreated collectively unconsciously, fearing that they would be the next to be captured by Lin Nanfeng. They began to want to evacuate Ji Xu's room in advance, but no one dared to leave first.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Yang Mingming! Your mother is here to take you home for dinner!"
At this moment, the shout was like a natural sound, and the little boy named Yang Mingming happily opened the door and ran out.
"Liu Xiaoyu! Your father called you to come home too!" Ji Xu's mother's voice came again, and another child escaped unscathed. Then, the other children seemed to have learned the trick without any guidance.
"Ji Xu, I'll come play with you tomorrow. I'm going home too!"
"I'm so hungry. I'm going home too!"
"We are all leaving now. Ji Xu, you stay here and watch Lin Nanfeng perform the autopsy."
In less than ten seconds, the room that was once bustling with activity suddenly became empty and deserted. The tools that Lin Nanfeng had laid out on the floor were also kicked everywhere by the children who had "escaped" in panic.
Lin Nanfeng ignored the outside commotion and continued to dismantle the machine. Ji Xu's mother's voice came again: "Nanfeng!"
Lin Nanfeng paused, and a hint of joy seemed to flash across his little face.
"Your mother called and said she has a social event tonight, and your father is also taking an elective class at school tonight, so you should still eat at your aunt's house tonight."
After hearing what Ji Xu's mother said, the joy on Lin Nanfeng's face flashed away, and was replaced by a look of disappointment, which was expected. Lin Nanfeng still did not stop working, but lowered his head even more.
"Mom! What are we having for dinner tonight?" Ji Xu asked loudly.
"You eat whatever I cook! Why ask so many questions!" Although Ji Xu's mother's tone was harsh, her love for him could not be concealed.
"No, I can smell the fragrance! Is it sweet and sour pork ribs? I want to eat one first!" Ji Xu said and ran out immediately.
"Why are you so greedy, kid? Look how obedient Nanfeng is. You are nothing like a monkey all the time."
Ji Xu and his mother were talking in the kitchen, and it was obvious that they had a good relationship. Lin Nanfeng turned a deaf ear to them, and knelt on the ground, concentrating on reinstalling the robot. His frown showed his stubbornness and stubbornness.
In the corner of the room, there was an even smaller figure huddled aside, with saliva running down the corners of her mouth onto her face, and snot bubbles on her nose growing larger and smaller with her breathing.
The setting sun outside the window gradually faded away, and the two little figures inside the window were like people from two different worlds, each occupying one end without disturbing each other. The last bit of afterglow in the sky faded away, and the warm sunlight was broken into countless orange-yellow lights embedded in the windows of every household, and the aroma of food mixed with the voices of people flowed out.
Childhood seems so long ago that even the memories are beginning to fade.
It was neither the best of times nor the worst of times, but for a certain generation, that era left them with countless extremely vivid memories.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye everyone is already in college.
Lin Nanfeng lived up to everyone's expectations and skipped three grades. When his peers were still in college, he had already been admitted to the graduate class as an excellent student of the medical school. He lost his baby fat and became a handsome, well-proportioned and gentle man. He was polite to everyone, not too warm but not annoying. When ordinary children were still addicted to online games and third-rate novels, melodious cello sounds could be heard from Lin Nanfeng's room from time to time. On Sundays, other people would sneak out to meet their lovers or make appointments to go to some Internet cafe to kill time, but Lin Nanfeng would always go to the stadium with his tennis racket on his back.
So it is no surprise that he, with his gentle personality and excellent qualities, has become the darling of many neighborhood aunties and is known as "the other people's child" by parents.
The reason why a role model becomes a role model is, of course, that there are typical figures to contrast with him. During the long years , Bai Yueguang also became the "other people's child" in the eyes of the parents in the family building.
So we often hear the following educational quotes:
Aunt Wang downstairs yelled at Jia Jia: "You only know how to show off every day. Sooner or later, your grades will be as bad as Bai Yueguang's."
Uncle Li upstairs scolded Li Xiaoyu: "How come you got this question wrong too! You're almost like the white moonlight downstairs!"
And there is also Grandma Ma next door. Every time she sees Bai Yueguang, she always looks distressed. She pulls her aside and talks to her earnestly: "I say, Yueguang, don't just pursue beauty all the time. There are so many bad guys out there now! Our little face is so pretty. We are not afraid of thieves stealing it, but we are afraid of thieves thinking about it!"
Bai Yueguang's heart was in a mess in the wind.
As for Ji Xu, he had long hair in the style of a romantic poet, spoke English, and behaved in a foreign accent. He often held a guitar, sang love songs while reciting Shakespeare's works, and flirted with girls everywhere. Of course, his father, the dean of teaching, was an "old antique" who couldn't stand his "foreign devil" faults the most. Whenever this happened, he would pick up his slippers and chase him to beat him.
Under the pale fluorescent light in the ward, a little girl in a hospital gown stared with big eyes, leaning softly in her mother's arms. Five or six medical staff in white coats lined up around the bed, led by the elderly attending physician Professor Chen, who patiently advised the little girl: "Be good, be obedient, you can't refuse the nurse to take your temperature, grandpa needs to know your physical condition before he can rest assured."
The little girl looked weak and frail the previous second, but now she seemed to be full of energy. She blinked slyly, and then took advantage of no one's attention to get under the quilt. A muffled voice came out through the quilt: "I won't! I won't take my temperature! After taking my temperature, you will give me an injection!"
The girl's mother was at a loss. She patted the quilt and advised kindly: "Be obedient, when you are discharged from the hospital, mom and dad will take you to the playground."
The little girl tossed and turned in her quilt, yelling, "I don't believe it! I haven't seen my dad for more than a month!"
"Dad is working hard to make money to support us. Besides, didn't you video chat with him last night?"
The little girl suddenly stuck her head out and cried out in grievance: "I see my dad through the phone every day. The phone is my dad?"
The innocent words of the child made the girl's mother at a loss for words for a moment. She was a little embarrassed and a little angry between her brows, but she couldn't show it because there were so many people around.
The little girl was silent for a few seconds. I don't know what she was thinking. Suddenly she compromised and said, "Don't lie to me this time!"
The girl's mother nodded repeatedly. The girl thought for a moment and then said, "No! I miss my dad! I want to ride a big horse! Otherwise, I won't take my temperature!"
The girl's mother was helpless and whispered, "Baby, Daddy is at work now. Can you ride the big horse when Daddy comes back?"
The little girl didn't listen. She looked around and suddenly pointed at a tall, thin man at the outermost edge of the medical staff and said, "I want to ride him!"
Everyone turned around and saw that the little girl was referring to the new graduate student of the medical school, Lin Nanfeng, a top student at the medical university. The female nurses around and the doctors who accompanied them to make rounds were a little hesitant. People like Lin Nanfeng were very bookish. He was usually handsome and polite. Although he was not rude to others, he always gave people a cold and unapproachable look. He had only been here for a week, but he had become the number one gossip topic among the female nurses.
Such a person must have some idol baggage. It would be really damaging to his image to have a naughty little girl riding on his head.
Professor Chen, who led the doctors to the ward rounds, took the initiative to speak: "Nanfeng, go back to the office and fill in the ward rounds diary for the previous few rooms. We will handle this. Children will be fine after a little fuss."
Professor Chen's original intention was to ask Lin Nanfeng to step aside so that he, a young man, would not be too shy to refuse.
But Lin Nanfeng just nodded and didn't leave. He walked to the bedside and knelt on one knee. He was so tall that even when he was half squatting, he was still a head taller than the little girl.
"Stop playing tricks and listen to your mother and the doctor."
Everyone was a little surprised when Lin Nanfeng spoke soft words in his cold voice. Lin Nanfeng patted his shoulder, then turned his back and said nothing.
The little girl seemed stunned as well. She probably didn't expect that this brother who seemed to be difficult to talk to would agree to her request so easily.
When she walked out of the ward, the little girl had already obediently returned to her mother's arms. Professor Chen turned around and gently closed the door of the ward, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This little girl was notoriously difficult to deal with, and she would always make some strange requests, otherwise she would not cooperate with the treatment.
Everyone followed Professor Chen back to the office to make the final summary and then dispersed. It was just time to get off work, so everyone packed up and left one after another. Lin Nanfeng was still hesitant to move, so Professor Chen picked up his briefcase and patted Lin Nanfeng's shoulder gently before leaving, with some approval in his eyes.
Professor Chen: "You should go home early too. You are not supposed to be on duty today. Have you had dinner yet? Young people, it is a good thing to take the initiative to work overtime, but you must not tire yourself out. Go home and eat."
Lin Nanfeng didn't expect that Professor Chen would suddenly care about him. He nodded, and Professor Chen left with a smile without saying anything else.
In the quiet office, Lin Nanfeng sat quietly in his seat, with a game installed on the laptop in front of him. His slender fingers tapped the dial of the watch on his other wrist, and when the slogan "Installation successful" popped up on the screen, Lin Nanfeng glanced at the time, it should be about time. He quickly closed the computer and put it in his backpack, and was the last to leave the hospital where he was doing his internship.
A red taxi came rushing over from a distance and stopped directly at the intersection of a small road.
In the car, Gu Yao had exaggerated twin ponytails, her hair dyed milky white, a thick layer of powder on her face, and exaggerated smoky makeup. Tonight's cosplay theme party, she played the role of Harley Quinn. Gu Yao held the steering wheel and pressed the "Sailor Moon Sailor Moon" that was blocking her view on the passenger seat flat against the leather seat back.
"My car can't drive in. There are no street lights on the road today. Can you do it by yourself?" Gu Yao asked worriedly.
Bai Yueguang, who was sitting on the passenger seat, made a classic Sailor Moon transformation gesture and said, "Don't worry, the Sailor Moon of love and justice will represent the Moon to eliminate all the dark forces! Protect world peace!"
Gu Yao poked Bai Yueguang's temple with a finger, and scolded him angrily: "Tell me, are you stupid? Didn't we agree to play the same role? If you don't know who I'm talking about, just ask clearly. Who do you think you are!"
Bai Yueguang smoothed her ponytails, rubbed her temples, and defended herself: "Aren't the key words ponytails and cool..." She lifted her ponytails to show Gu Yao, then did a transformation and said: "Look, ponytails, and cool!"
Gu Yao held her forehead and sighed helplessly. It was all her fault that she was in such a good mood this afternoon. She didn't care about anything and shouldn't have taken Bai Yueguang lightly. She had clearly described it to her as "Harley Quinn", but she misunderstood it as Sailor Moon...
Before getting out of the car, Gu Yao pulled out her baseball bat from the back seat and gave it to her: "Take it for self-defense, and call me when you get home."
Bai Yueguang nodded solemnly and pretended to transform into Sailor Moon again, but Gu Yao rolled her eyes and stepped on the accelerator, leaving her in a cloud of dust.
Bai Yueguang touched his nose : "If you don't like watching the transformation, just say so..."
After Gu Yao left, the originally brave Bai Yueguang became a little scared when looking at the dark path. The street lights seemed to be particularly dim tonight. If she had known this earlier, she might as well have gone back to the school dormitory.
She walked forward with her head held high, thinking that if she crossed the dark path, she would see thousands of lights at the end, which would give her courage. But the more afraid you are of something, the more you can't help but think about it.
Bai Yueguang thought of the images played by her friends who won the titles of Queen and King at the party tonight, and they immediately popped into her mind.
Oh my God, Bai Yueguang wailed in her heart, these two people are really trying too hard, they must have hired a special effects team to do the makeup, otherwise how could it be so realistic? Their costumes tonight will definitely become a shadow for her in the near future.
She was the only one on the quiet path. She had changed into Japanese-style student leather shoes to play Sailor Moon. Her footsteps made a "tapping" sound. But why did it sound like there were extra footsteps every time she took a step? Bai Yueguang was sure that the sound was not made by her.
"Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness!" Bai Yueguang recited a line of the socialist core values to boost his courage with every step he took.
Some time ago, I heard that there were many exhibitionists around the school. They like to intercept female students halfway, and then lift up their coats to show them their naked bodies. Thinking of this, Bai Yueguang trembled again. What should I recite this time? Recite the school motto? Recite Marx's quotations? Or sing "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven"?
Bai Yueguang was completely panicked. She quickened her pace, almost jogging. But as she quickened her pace, the footsteps behind her became more and more obvious. Bai Yueguang was now certain that something must be following her. She was so scared that she almost cried, sobbing and running desperately. The person behind her also started running wildly. From the footsteps, it could be heard that the other party was not weak.
It's over, it's over. I'm going to get into trouble here today. Bai Yueguang added drama to herself while running for her life. She seemed to see the end of her life. The heroines in idol dramas all died beautifully. They had to spin twice in the air and then fall softly . They couldn't lie on their backs with their limbs spread out. They had to keep their legs together and slightly bent. Bai Yueguang reminded herself that she must pay attention to her posture in case of an accident. Unfortunately, there was no sad background music.
However, it would be best if we could escape safely!
The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and Bai Yueguang was already out of breath. Suddenly, a pair of big hands hugged her shoulders from top to bottom. Bai Yueguang glanced at the hands of the person behind him and whispered, "Huh? The hands are pretty nice."
Next, Bai Yueguang began to close his eyes, tilted his head limply, and prepared to fall to the ground and die.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Eh? That voice sounds familiar...
Bai Yueguang opened her eyes suddenly! The other party was not a ghost or a pervert, but the moral benchmark "Lin Nanfeng" that the adults had talked about since childhood!
It was a false alarm!
Bai Yueguang put away his acting and said awkwardly, "It's you! Why are you following me? I was so scared that I thought something had changed..." Bai Yueguang thought about it but still didn't say it out loud, "Nothing, nothing."
Lin Nanfeng didn't know what Bai Yueguang was talking about. He looked up and down at Bai Yueguang's outfit. The skirt was too short and her arms were exposed. Even if it didn't attract perverts, it was inappropriate. It was a good outfit, but Bai Yueguang had such a good figure that it didn't look good on her.
Lin Nanfeng took off his coat and put it on Bai Yueguang. Bai Yueguang only smelled the smell of disinfectant. Although it was not pungent, it instantly reminded her of the horrible hospital. Yes, Bai Yueguang had a fear of hospitals. She felt weak in the knees when she saw anything related to hospitals. Although her major was also medicine, it was animal medicine after all, not directly for humans.
Bai Yueguang twisted her body and tried to avoid him. She declined, "It's okay. I'm not cold. We're almost home. Let's go."
Lin Nanfeng's hand holding up his coat froze in mid-air. He said calmly, "Last month, there was a girl in the hospital, about 20 years old, about your age, who got an acute cold, then developed pneumonia, and finally..."
Sometimes the charm of language is that the words are finite but the meaning is infinite. Lin Nanfeng stopped talking at the right time.
"It just so happens that a bed is now vacant at the hospital where I'm interning. What a coincidence! Maybe in a few days you will become my first patient since I started my internship."
Lin Nanfeng shook his coat, and although he had no intention of taking it back, he did not take the initiative to put it on Bai Yueguang.
Looking at Bai Yueguang's lively face, you can tell that he has started to imagine the plot again. The next second, Bai Yueguang quickly grabbed Lin Nanfeng's coat and wrapped it tightly around himself without saying a word.
Bai Yueguang ignored Lin Nanfeng's reaction and walked ahead, muttering as she walked: "Let's go quickly, don't waste any more time. It's windy at night, why don't we go home and have a cup of hot tea. Be careful with fire and candles, and beware of thieves."
Lin Nanfeng couldn't help but grin. Although he couldn't understand what Bai Yueguang was saying, he just found it interesting for no reason.
"Lin Nanfeng!"
"What's wrong?"
"Why do I see you every day when I go home? Are you waiting for me on purpose?"
"No."
"Then why ..."
“That’s also the time I get off work every day.”
"You're lying. It's just the rare occasion that I come back so late today. How did you just happen to run into me again?"
"Your voice sounds a bit grainy. For your health, please come to the hospital to take an X-ray with me some other day."
Bai Yueguang decisively shut up. Lin Nanfeng knew Bai Yueguang's weakness too well. After going to the hospital, he could imagine that he had more than 20 terminal diseases. The two of them finally calmed down. The warm lights at the end of the dark road could be seen. The two of them walked quietly side by side into the distance.
