It was a sunny Monday morning . The air was filled with the fresh smell of the morning. I opened the window and a breeze blew in my face. My sweet and delicate bangs swayed gently in the wind.
"Tianxin, Tianxin, you passed the make-up exam!" Yang Cong rushed into the classroom and told Tianxin excitedly.
"Really?" Tian Xin held her chin and wanted to laugh, but her laugh was uglier than crying.
"That's enough, you've been like this for the whole week." Qi Yuan patted Tian Xin's head from behind, "He's just a man, what's the big deal!"
"Shhhhh, shut up!" Yang Cong made a face at Qi Yuan. Tian Xin was their key protected person, especially at this time, she had to be taken good care of.
"Tianxin, how about we take you to the pub next door to watch a game after class today?" Yang Cong asked flatteringly.
"Okay." Tian Xin put on that soulless smile again, and then continued to stare out the window in a daze. Yang Cong and Qi Yuan looked at each other, and a flock of crows flew over their heads.
Since the date was cancelled, Tian Xin has not contacted Zhuang Feize again. It's not that Zhuang Feize didn't contact her, but she refused Zhuang Feize's call. After returning home that night, she thought about it for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was so angry that she calmed down in the early morning.
Maybe he doesn't like you that much, or maybe he doesn't even like you.
After Tian Xin came to this conclusion, she suddenly calmed down.
Sadness is something that you have experienced once. No matter how hard you try it again, it won't be as hard as it was the first time.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal. Wasn't it that Zhuang Fize stood her up? Wasn't it that the whole school knew about her being stood up? Wasn't it that Tian Xin became the topic of conversation again? Zhuang Fize called her, but she didn't answer. Later, she even left the house without a cell phone.
In the past few days, Tianxin has been staying with her classmates. Without her phone, she won't be involved in the emotions and feels much more relaxed. With the company of her friends, Tianxin can withstand the messy looks from them.
She was grateful to them from the bottom of her heart, so this time when everyone came to the tavern to watch the game, Tian Xin planned to secretly pay the bill. Yang Cong pulled her to sit in the front row, staring at the TV together, which felt fresh and exciting.
"Are you really not going to answer Zhuang Feize's call?" Yang Cong asked Tian Xin during the intermission. Tian Xin said nothing, but just lowered her head and drank her drink silently.
"If someone doesn't like you, you should just forget them. Why do you keep in touch with them?"
"I can see that he likes you. If he didn't, he wouldn't call you every day." Yang Cong knew Tian Xin's personality. She was more stubborn than anyone else. Sometimes he felt anxious looking at these two people.
"Liking someone is one thing, really liking him is another, and not liking him that much is another." Tian Xin was a little drunk, but she still spoke clearly, "I like him very much, but he should be the last type, not liking me that much. I can't accept this imbalance."
Yang Cong wanted to say something, but he felt that what Tian Xin said made sense. Zhuang Feize had disappeared before, and now he was standing her up again. Tian Xin was laughed at by all the girls in the school because of him, and no one could easily forgive her.
"No more talking, I'm going to the bathroom, you guys keep drinking." Tian Xin waved her hand and walked towards the bar. Yang Cong didn't know she was going to pay the bill, so he didn't stop her. Just as Tian Xin took out her wallet and told the boss that she wanted to pay the bill in advance, the TV, which was originally playing ads, suddenly interrupted with a news report - a national archaeological team led by Professor Zhuang of Nanyin University encountered a landslide, several people were injured, and the rest of the situation was unknown.
Tian Xin's hand that was about to pay paused at this moment, and the originally noisy pub gradually became quiet.
"Many students from our school have joined the archaeological team?" someone asked.
"It's Professor Zhuang's, right?"
"I remember it was, something happened? No way, it's so tragic!"
"I heard that Zhuang Feize also went there..."
After hearing this, Tian Xin froze in place, and her originally expressionless face suddenly turned pale.
"Boss, I'll give you the money first." Her voice was trembling as she hurriedly put the money on the table and ran out of the bar. Yang Cong, who was behind her, saw that something was wrong and immediately rushed out. Tian Xin was originally walking forward with big strides, but after Yang Cong shouted a few times, Tian Xin could no longer control herself and ran while crying. The two of them returned to school one after the other.
"Tianxin, don't worry! It should be fine, it's okay!" Yang Cong comforted.
Tian Xin didn't say anything, but tears kept falling.
These days, Tian Xin has become much quieter. Yang Cong feels that she seems to have grown up a little bit. If it were in the past, she would definitely be anxious like a child who knows nothing.
"I'm going to the dormitory to get my phone. You wait here for me. We'll go to the Archaeology Department to see if they have any news." Tian Xin wiped her tears, told Yang Cong and ran upstairs to get her phone. She had stopped crying, but returned to the dormitory breathlessly. After seeing so many missed calls from Zhuang Feize, Tian Xin couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they flowed out like a torrent.
The call log was as long as a form, but Tianxin didn't answer any of them.
The resentment that was suppressed in her heart disappeared at this moment. Tian Xin felt extremely remorseful and guilty. If something really happened to Zhuang Fize, she would hate herself for the rest of her life.
Tears streaming down her face, Tian Xin called back, but no one answered after a long time. She called Zhuang Feichi again, but no one answered as expected. They should all be in the archaeological team now, so she could only go to the school's archaeology department to see if there was any news.
Rushing downstairs as fast as she could, Tian Xin grabbed Yang Cong and ran towards the Archaeology Department.
It started raining at some point and Tianxin was soaked in her thin clothes. Yang Cong wanted to take off his coat and put it on her, but she refused.
Nothing is more important than contacting Zhuang Fize.
The two rushed to the research room of the Archaeology Department. It was almost half past eight. Fortunately, there were still seniors there. Tian Xin was not familiar with them. She knocked on the door and was still thinking about how to speak, but some people had already recognized her.
"Are you Su Tianxin?" One of the boys wearing glasses walked over from the research table.
"Yes, senior." Tian Xin nodded quickly. Although she was a little curious as to why the senior knew her, she was not in the mood to care about it now.
"You are here to..." The senior looked at Yang Cong who was standing beside him.
"Have you seen the news?" Tian Xin asked anxiously.
"Oh, you mean the mountain collapsed?" The senior frowned, "I just received the news too, the current situation is unclear."
"Can we contact them? I'm afraid, I'm afraid something might happen to Zhuang Feize." Tian Xin was a little incoherent. Several seniors looked at each other and shook their heads.
"We tried, but we can't get in touch with him for now. Please sit here and wait for a while. We are trying to contact Professor Zhuang. Professor Zhuang didn't go with us this time, so he might know the situation."
"Okay, thank you." Tian Xin looked grateful.
Perhaps because she was in the lab, Tian Xin was not so panicked, but as time went by, she still did not get the results she wanted. The seniors made many phone calls but still could not contact the archaeological team. They just kept waiting until almost dawn, when Professor Zhuang finally sent a message.
"The professor said that the landslide occurred in the next city, and five people were injured, including Zhuang Feize."
When she heard the three words "Zhuang Feize", Tian Xin sat up suddenly, and her dried tears flowed again.
"There will be a car coming to pick us up to go over there and check out the situation, but the journey is quite far and may take five or six hours. Do you want to go with us?"
"Go! I'll go!" Tian Xin shouted impatiently.
After almost a night of bumpy ride, everyone finally arrived at the First People's Hospital of H City at daybreak. Tian Xin, who was extremely sleepy, straightened her back from her seat the moment she heard the word "arrived", then stood up and jumped out of the car without even standing firmly. Everyone knew about the close relationship between Tian Xin and Zhuang Feize, so they were not surprised and allowed her to get off the car first. Because she was too anxious, Tian Xin stumbled when she ran into the hospital. She didn't care about her haggard face and hair that hadn't been washed all night, and she was thinking about how Zhuang Feize was doing now.
Where is he injured? Is it serious? Does it hurt?
When she thought of him being injured, Tian Xin couldn't help crying. Following the ward number the doctor told her, Tian Xin turned left and right and finally arrived at Zhuang Fize's ward. The moment she pushed open the door of the ward, all the thoughts, guilt, worries and heartaches buried in her heart came out at once. She didn't care about Zhuang Fize who was sitting next to her and rushed directly to Zhuang Fize's side.
After seeing Zhuang Feize's handsome face lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Tian Xin could no longer control herself and burst into tears.
"Huh? Tianxin, you came so soon?" Zhuang Feichi was startled by her big movement, and seeing her collapsed look, he hurried over to support her.
"Calm down." Zhuang Feichi picked up Tianxin with one hand, then took out the handkerchief he brought with him and covered her face directly. When Tianxin couldn't see, Zhuang Feichi covered his mouth and almost laughed out loud.
Tian Xin wiped her face casually, but new tear marks appeared on her face. She sat down gently next to Zhuang Feize and held his hand tightly.
"Tianxin, if you had known this, why didn't you answer his call?" Zhuang Feichi said jokingly. But Tianxin couldn't hear his tone at all, she just begged him in tears: "Senior, can you go out first? I want to be alone with him for a while."
"Well, I'll leave first." Zhuang Feichi suppressed his smile, pretended to be sad, and turned to leave the ward. The room with only two people left suddenly became quiet. Tianxin's suppressed tears flowed again like a faucet. She gently leaned down and hugged the unconscious Zhuang Feize.
"In fact, I haven't been happy at all these days. I tried to force myself to accept a life without you, but in the end I found myself living like a zombie."
"Zhuang Feize, what should I do? I really like you. The more I suppress myself, the more I realize that I like you. Can you please wake up? I don't blame you. When you wake up, we can talk about anything."
"Don't ignore me, wuwuwu..." Tianxin broke down and cried while hugging Zhuang Feize. However, at this moment, a hand slowly climbed up Tianxin's back and patted her gently.
"Tian Xin... you're making me feel so uncomfortable..."
"Ah!" Tian Xin jumped up from the bed in shock. She looked down and found that Zhuang Feize, who was in a coma, had opened his eyes. Tian Xin was so surprised that she wanted to run out and tell the doctor, but Zhuang Feize grabbed her wrist. Tian Xin turned around and saw Zhuang Feize, who was pale, smiling weakly.
"Silly, I'm fine."
It took Tian Xin a while to accept the fact that she was deceived by Zhuang Fei Chi. It turned out that Zhuang Fei Ze only injured his foot, and because of low blood sugar, he was admitted to the hospital. The landslide did not cause any serious damage. Zhuang Fei Chi was just exaggerating it just to make Tian Xin anxious. Tian Xin hated being deceived the most, but now she was glad that this was a scam. Facing Zhuang Fei Chi's smug smirk and Zhuang Fei Ze's gentle eyes, Tian Xin really didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. After all, she came here overnight, and she didn't have any image at all. After all, she is a little lady!
It's over. It's all over now.
Tian Xin pulled her hair, wanting to cry but without tears.
"Brother, help Tianxin find some clean clothes to change into." Zhuang Feize winked at Zhuang Feichi. He knew that Tianxin was a person who cared a lot about her personal image, especially when facing him. Every time he took her out to eat, she would dress up carefully and paint her lips pink and tender, but after the meal, she didn't care about her image at all, and sometimes even touched her belly. Zhuang Feize wanted to laugh when he thought of it.
Tian Xin showed a grateful expression, and then followed Zhuang Fei Chi obediently. When they came back again, half an hour had passed. Tian Xin wore a white dress that Zhuang Fei Chi got from somewhere, tied her hair into a bun, and walked to Zhuang Feize shyly. At this moment, Zhuang Feize was wearing a hospital gown, leaning on the bed, smiling at Tian Xin. Tian Xin looked at his smile and her face turned red.
Ahhh, how can there be such a handsome boy in this world!
The voice of this nympho screamed in Tian Xin's heart. Zhuang Fize's face was originally like a painting, but now it became weak due to illness, but it also had the charm of a narcissus- beautiful boy. After staring at him for a while, Tian Xin felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she took the initiative to ask Zhuang Fize: "Are you feeling better?"
"Come here, Tianxin." Zhuang Feize did not answer her, but patted the large area reserved for him on the bed.
Tian Xin looked at him shyly, then moved closer obediently. Before she even sat down, Zhuang Feize stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his arms. Tian Xin was overwhelmed by the sudden happiness, and felt dizzy the moment she fell into Zhuang Feize's arms.
Several times she dreamed that she was held like this by Zhuang Feize.
Zhuang Fize rested his chin on her forehead and said softly, "It's my fault. I left so suddenly and didn't explain to you, leaving you in the spotlight."
"No, I'm fine." Tian Xin wiped the tears that could not help but flow from the corners of her eyes. She was very happy to see him safe and sound. It turns out that some things can only be fully understood after going through many things.
"I'm not good at expressing myself. When you confessed to me before, I was so happy, but I didn't know how to respond to you, so I thought, I'll look for you every day, so that slowly, we can be together naturally." Zhuang Feize smiled bitterly and patted Tian Xin's back gently, "But it turns out that boys and girls think differently. Girls want a sense of security, but if I don't say anything, how can you feel safe?"
"Not really, you're too outstanding. I don't think you really like me. So I don't understand why you take me out to dinner every day and then don't express anything." Tian Xin pouted and tugged at the corner of his clothes.
"Actually, I prepared a car full of roses, hydrogen balloons, chocolates and so on that day. I also asked people to arrange them in advance, but the archaeological team came too suddenly, so..."
"My brother taught me that when pursuing a girl, you should talk first and then act. What he meant was that he should talk to you more every day, tell you everything he wants, and then act on it."
Zhuang Feize became frank, and Tian Xin was the only person to whom he could speak his true feelings.
"So Tianxin, can you forgive me?"
Tian Xin was moved by this heartfelt apology. She sat up straight and looked at Zhuang Feize: "Actually, I was wrong too. I shouldn't have ignored your call for so long. No matter what, I should have listened to your explanation."
"You're right. If I were you, I would also be very angry. After all, a guy like me with low emotional intelligence is really annoying." Zhuang Feize started to make fun of himself, and then both of them laughed together.
"So, Tianxin..." Zhuang Feize turned around and picked a flower from the vase and handed it to Tianxin. "This happened suddenly, so I can only use this as a substitute. Are you willing to be my girlfriend? The kind that will definitely be filial to her?"
"Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars?" Tian Xin laughed out loud at his amusement and her eyes moved to the pitiful little flower in his hand.
"Yes. I will be here whenever you call me and I won't disappear at will." Zhuang Feize made a swearing gesture.
"What else?" Tian Xin asked.
"I'll love you well and spoil you well." A blush appeared on Zhuang Feize's face.
The scene at this moment seemed like a dream. Tian Xin covered her mouth in disbelief, her eyes gradually moistened. This big ice cube actually had a day to say such a thing.
"Zhuang Fize, I like you very much. I really, really like you." Tian Xin's voice trembled.
"I like you too. I like you very much." Zhuang Fize gently rubbed her head.
"So." Tian Xin took the little flower.
"So what?" Zhuang Feize looked at her lovingly.
"So you have to remember today, because this is the first day of our love!"
