She is in the fog

As winter progresses, the new curriculum teaching at Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School is almost coming to an end, and the review stage has basically begun.

After Zhong Nuo finished explaining the test paper to everyone, he allowed everyone to review freely.

He Xi picked up the test paper and turned around: "Mingmei, can you explain the last big question to me again? The head teacher spoke too fast and I didn't quite understand."

Mingmei stopped writing and looked up, saying, "I've explained this question to Wenwan. She knows how to do it. Ask her to help you."

"Hahaha, He Xi, you're so stupid. You don't even know this?" Wen Wan sneered mercilessly, then snatched He Xi's paper away. "Come on, I'll be kind enough to explain it to you."

Wen Wan began to talk incessantly about the process of solving the problem. He Xi glanced at Ming Mei, who had already lowered her head and continued to calculate the exercises as if no one was around.

She sighed slightly, then retracted her gaze and listened carefully to Wen Wan's explanation.

After finishing a day's classes, He Xi sent them home as usual.

After He Xi moved into Fangcao Garden, he traveled with them, making it more convenient for them to escort him.

However, on the way home, Mingmei still didn't say a word, which was very strange.

"Amei, why are you silent?" Wen Wan frowned slightly, "Isn't the story I just told you funny?"

Mingmei stopped, turned around and asked, "What's the story?"

"You see, I've been talking in your ear for so long, but you haven't listened carefully. Let me tell you a joke again."

Wen Wan pinched her chin and thought for a while, then continued, "Once upon a time, there was a person who loved to laugh. One day, she was sick and went to the hospital for an IV drip. She just kept laughing while looking at the IV drip. The people around her couldn't stand it anymore, so they asked her what she was laughing at, and she said, 'I'm laughing at the IV drip.'"

After saying this, Wen Wan immediately burst into laughter.

He Xi thought about it and thought, low sense of humor? A little humor?
To be honest, this joke was not very funny, but she remembered some pun jokes she had heard in the past and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing this, Wen Wan also smiled and patted He Xi's arm, and said excitedly: "Right, right. It's so funny, laugh a little, your laugh point is low hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

What a cold joke.
Mingmei really didn't know what the joke was, but seeing Wen Wan and He Xi laughing so happily, she couldn't help but sigh: Sure enough, they are the whales on the same frequency.

A hint of sadness emerged in her heart, but she quickly buried it.
She smiled and said, "Okay, let's go home quickly. It's so cold, it's warmer at home."

"It's very warm in Jiang Province." Wen Wan said, "It's 20 degrees in Jiang Province in winter, so there's no need to prepare a cotton-padded jacket. I'm going to Jiang Province to participate in a competition in a few days, so I'll bring you some Jiang Province specialties."

Mingmei asked: "What date are you going?"

"We have to get up on the fifteenth of this month, which is the day after tomorrow."

"When are you coming back?"

"About ten days, it looks like I will have to face the end of the world alone." Wen Wan said dejectedly, "The Mayans predicted that December 2012, 12 would be the end of the world. The earth will be destroyed on that day, and human civilization will cease to exist." He Xi laughed at the side: "Wen Wan, you didn't really believe that day would be the end of the world just by reading a few blog posts and Weibo posts, did you?"

Wen Wan shook her head: "I didn't really believe it at first. But everyone is spreading it, with details, and I'm a little scared. What if it really is the end of the world?"

He Xi comforted her, "That's impossible. I am the real prophet. I assure you that day is definitely not the end of the world."

"That's not what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about is that if it really is the end of the world, and you're all in Nanzhou City, I'll be so lonely in Jiang Province alone."

"Don't worry." Mingmei said like she was coaxing a child, "If that day really is the end of the world, I will run to Jiang Province to see you even if I run away."

Wen Wan smiled, revealing two dimples, "Then I'd better run to Nanzhou City. I run faster!"

Mingmei also smiled knowingly, "Okay, let's go home quickly!"

After saying that, the two of them jumped forward. He Xi stood there in a daze. Did they forget that there was someone standing here?
The background music automatically plays in my mind, "Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is howling..."
The cold wind was bitingly cold, and except for the lack of snow, it was a perfect replica of Yuan Hua's famous scene.

After returning home, He Xi was certain that Mingmei was indeed deliberately distancing herself from him, but why was this happening?
As she was thinking about it, she entered the forum of Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School to see what hot topics had happened on campus recently.

A post titled "What kind of idol drama plot is this? She really loves her!" stands out among all the "end of the world" posts, because the photo of Li Bufan and Mingmei is the cover photo of this post.

He Xi clicked in again and clicked on the large picture.
This is a picture taken this afternoon.
The photo just happened to capture the moment when Li Bufan wanted to touch Mingmei's forehead with the back of his hand. The background was out of focus, which made the subject stand out. The photo was also post-processed and pink bubbles were everywhere.

What the hell? Did they adjust the color in post-production? Didn’t Ning Xiaoduo transfer to another school? Who was taking the photo? Who was posting the post? Are the CP fans serious?

He Xi hurriedly looked at the replies in the post.

2nd floor: [Ming Fan! Ming Fan! Ming Fan! ]
Floor 3: [I wonder who dares to come here to ky, how can she be so good at it, touching the forehead is too doting!!!]
Floor 4: [Tsk tsk, being rich is good, the school doesn’t care if you are in such an open relationship]
5th floor: [What are you being sarcastic about? Having money is just an additional feature of being extraordinary. Even without money, she is still excellent, okay?]
6th floor: [I clearly didn’t touch her in the picture, and it seemed like Mingmei didn’t want to have physical contact with her. Was it my illusion? ]
Floor 7: [It is said that Mingfan has already met his parents]

Seeing the reply on the 7th floor, He Xi couldn't help but spit, "That's how rumors spread. Why are they getting more and more outrageous!"
She immediately replied to the 7th floor: [Don't talk nonsense without factual basis, okay? Three people make a tiger, don't you understand? ]

Then she looked at the floors behind. Most of the comments were saying that Li Bufan and Ming Mei were a perfect match. However, one reply caught He Xi's attention.

79th floor: [Is this girl currently studying at Nanzhou No. Middle School? ]
Someone replied to him: [Mingmei, first in the grade.]
TA continued to ask: [Are you studying at Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School? ]
Another person replied to him: [Do you still need to ask? Take a look at the name before you speak]

He Xi looked at his ID: Mutated Poppy

He Xi clicked in and checked his homepage.
This is a new account that was registered not long ago. It has only posted two replies, both in this post.

"Is this girl studying at Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School now?"
He Xi pondered this sentence carefully. It had no beginning or end, and the more he read, the stranger it seemed.
From what he said, it seems that this bar friend with the ID [Mutated Poppy] knows Mingmei, but he doesn't seem to know Mingmei's name, and doesn't know that she attends Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School.

So she immediately followed [Mutated Poppy] and sent him a private message: [Yes, Mingmei is now studying at Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School and is in her second year of high school.]
