Chapter 4: My Farewell Song 4
Qing Nuan was unable to reach City A after all, and her cell phone was even broken.
The news of the great earthquake in City A had gradually subsided in less than a month. There were so many new and interesting events in the world that an earthquake disaster was quickly drowned out by the hustle and bustle of entertainment events.
Qing Nuan still likes to stare blankly at her phone.
She felt that she had never been able to get close to Cheng Ge - she couldn't read his mind, couldn't enter his world, and now she couldn't even see him.
She was very bored and restless, and kept writing Tagore's poem in her exercise book:
I didn't approach you.
The sky wakes up with the sound of the temple gong,
The dust of the street flew up from the hooves of the driven cattle,
Tied his gurgling pitcher around his waist,
The morning light fades away,
And I didn't approach you.
Song Yang couldn't bear to see her distracted look, so he said to her: "Hey, why haven't you thrown away this broken phone? It's broken into this state, it can't be repaired, right? Just buy a new one."
Qing Nuan rolled her eyes and slowly uttered two words: "No money!"
At this time, Xu Jiarong leaned over from the back table and pushed Song Yang: "Boy, you broke this phone, don't you have to show some appreciation?"
Song Yang said to Xu Jiarong, "Have some conscience! If it weren't for me, she would have lost more than just a mobile phone, but also her wallet and ID card. What else do you want me to say?"
"You are stupid!" Xu Jiarong slapped Song Yang on the head and winked at him.
Xu Jiarong thought, this guy Song Yang will probably be like this for the rest of his life. He’s obviously interested in Qing Nuan, but he doesn’t even show any courtesy to her. It’s bad enough that he always made her angry in the past, but why is it that now that they’ve finally gone through hardships together and their relationship has improved, he’s still not wiser?
Xu Jiarong felt that there was no hope for her and Song Yang in this life. She could also see that she and Song Yang had been together for so many years, if there was a spark, it would have come out long ago. Since Song Yang had not been attracted to her for so many years, it was estimated that there would be no spark in this life.
In that case, she might as well help Song Yang.
She was like a warrior dedicated to love, calmly, carefreely, and laughingly pushed Song Yang to Qing Nuan.
Xu Jiarong felt that if Song Yang could really get together with Qing Nuan, it would be a good thing. Maybe a hundred years later, when everyone was no longer alive, this matter could be recorded in the book of merits, allowing her to stay away from hell and ascend to heaven?
Although everything was just imagination, Xu Jiarong sincerely hoped that Song Yang could be happy.
Song Yang received Xu Jiarong's look, and the tacit understanding he had cultivated over the years made him understand Xu Jiarong's thoughts in an instant. He suddenly realized it, and then pretended to be calm and said to Qing Nuan: "I admit my mistake and I will compensate you with a new phone!"
Qing Nuan refused outright: "No need."
Song Yang hesitated for a moment, his face a little red. "You said you don't need it, so you don't need it? I tell you, compensating you for the phone is my attitude, whether you use it or not is up to you. I will definitely compensate you for this phone, and you can throw it away if you don't like it."
Qing Nuan was provoked by him and felt as if she had bumped into cotton. She sighed and said to Song Yang in a kind voice: "Okay, Song Yang, you really don't have to compensate me. Just like you said, if you hadn't helped me, my wallet and mobile phone would have been lost. I don't know how angry I would be. How can I ask you to compensate? Besides, didn't you get beaten up? I haven't thanked you yet..."
Song Yang was used to being scolded by Qing Nuan, so he felt embarrassed when Qing Nuan spoke so gently to him. His face turned red like a ripe tomato, but he still said awkwardly: "Don't worry about it. I said I'll give you a new one as compensation, so just keep it. It's not easy for you to save some pocket money, so don't worry about the phone." Then, he said shyly, "Don't bother, it's just a phone, I have plenty of money."
An attitude that would not tolerate Qing Nuan's refusal at all.
Xu Jiarong looked at the pair of enemies at the table in front of her and felt a little bitter, but she still forced herself to laugh.
Afterwards, she couldn't help but poke Song Yang and joked, "Oh, you finally got it!"
Song Yang waved his hand: "Go, go, go, stay aside."
Xu Jiarong whispered in his ear, "You value women over friendship," and then sat back in her seat.
Qing Nuan's mood has not yet eased. She is still worried about Cheng Ge, but she is troubled by not being able to contact Cheng Ge. Now Song Yang has inexplicably disrupted her steps, making her feel at a loss as to what to do.
In class, she felt that the teacher's lectures were boring.
All she could think about was the time when Cheng Ge came to her house every night to tutor her in math when she was in junior high school.
Alas, Brother Ge’s explanation is much more detailed than the teacher’s—Qing Nuan sighed.
Just when I was distracted, Song Yang suddenly handed me a note.
It was inconvenient for students to talk in class, so they always passed messages through notes. Qing Nuan had helped pass messages many times, so when Song Yang handed the note to Qing Nuan, Qing Nuan's first reaction was, who is it for?
However, Song Yang pointed at Qing Nuan, then pretended that he knew nothing and fell asleep on the desk.
Qing Nuan was surprised: It’s for me?
It was the first time she received a note addressed to her.
She secretly took the note under the table, opened it and began to read.
Qing Nuan recognized the handwriting on the note at a glance. She had been sitting at the same table with Song Yang for three years and was very familiar with his handwriting. This was actually written by Song Yang to her!
The content of the note was simple, but it shocked Qing Nuan.
I know you have been thinking about Cheng Ge all the time. You secretly bought the train ticket this time because you wanted to go to City A to find him. But the college entrance examination is coming soon. Didn’t you work so hard before just to get into City A and reunite with him openly?
City A is so big, the earthquake only affected a small area, doesn't Cheng Ge live in the city? So you don't have to worry about it, he will be fine.
Can you please stop thinking about random things all day long?
You don't pay attention in class every day, you just sigh and frown, do you think you are Lin Daiyu? It annoys me just to see you.
Okay, go to class and study hard. I will study with you, and we can take the exam together to go to City A.
No matter where Cheng Ge is, I will accompany you to find him, okay?
Song Yang
Qing Nuan closed the note, turned her head to look at Song Yang who was pretending to be asleep, and felt a little touched.
Song Yang has always been a bad student who is lazy and never does anything. He usually quarrels with her very fiercely, but at this moment, Qing Nuan knows that Song Yang really cares about her.
Qing Nuan kept looking at Song Yang, and finally warmth appeared between her brows.
Song Yang hesitated for a while, then slowly turned his head to see Qing Nuan's reaction, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw Qing Nuan looking at him. Song Yang immediately felt like he had received an electric shock, and hurriedly shrank back, continuing to put on an expression that said "it's none of my business", but in fact he was extremely nervous.
Qing Nuan was amused by his reaction.
She picked up the pen and wrote a line of beautiful small words on the note: Thank you.
After writing, she threw it on Song Yang's desk.
Song Yang picked up the note swiftly and opened it slowly.
Her handwriting caught his eye.
He smiled contentedly.
