Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 36: Lemon Girl (Two in One)

On Monday, parents start work.

After sleeping soundly for more than five hours, Xia An woke up at half past ten.

This kind of deep sleep that can be maintained for a long time is rare in adulthood.

The first thing to do when you wake up is turn on the air conditioner.

After sitting on the toilet, he replied to Zhang Tiancheng and Liu Youwei on QQ: I understand.

The website framework for the "Hospice Care" project has been set up.

After returning to the bedroom, I looked at some screenshots and clicked on the link to the developed web version.

This type of official website page is mainly used for promotion and introduction, and its functions are generally sufficient. There is no need to be picky.

But Xia An still spent fifteen minutes deliberately finding a few problems and sent it back for rework.

There was no other reason. He didn't want Zhang Tiancheng and Liu Youwei to think that he was easy to fool.

In Xia An's mind, these two people will be of great use in the future and should be encouraged.

Xia An made an appointment with them to meet again on Thursday to look at the first versions of the other two websites.

After that, until half past one, Xia An had folded more than half a bottle of Little Star.

I was dizzy after stacking so many things, but I still didn’t complete the task.

I could only dig out an old bottle from the dusty box under the desk, pour some out and add it in.

Old wine in new bottles, that's enough.

After hastily eating a few mouthfuls of leftovers, Xia An went out.

Go to the appointment with Le Ning.

……

In ancient times, embroidery, flower drawing, sachets and shoe soles were called women's work.

In the hands of female students born in the 80s, it became cross-stitch, scarf knitting, star folding and paper crane folding.

During the two years of junior high school and the three years of high school, Le Ning gave Xia An tens of thousands of stars, hundreds of paper cranes, as well as cross-stitch bracelets and handmade scarves...

Strawberries, fruits, snacks, lunch, even phone bills, internet bills and pocket money.

When they were young, Xia An never gave her anything.

In the three months between the engagement and the wedding, Le Ning worked tirelessly to fold many stars and paper cranes and placed them at the wedding scene.

When Le Ning was thirty-six years old, she told Xia An:

When I was young, I never accepted the stars that others gave me. I never had a star of my own.

Now I am yours, and what I fold myself is as good as a gift from you.

Thank you for not wasting my entire youth.

……

Le Ning and her mother Zhou Ting will take the train to Shanghai tomorrow.

After that, there will be three kinds of professional skills tests that will last for a month.

The reason I didn't take a plane was because I had to take three musical instruments, all of which were very valuable and I didn't dare to check them in.

Violin, flute, harp, invincible volume.

So the two of them made an appointment to meet this afternoon.

Goodbye, school starts again.

However, college, junior high school and high school are two completely different things in the concept of "youth".

Xia An suddenly recalled the scene of the wedding yesterday, and decided to take advantage of the last chance to complete the Little Star for that silly girl.

The meeting place he and Le Ning agreed to meet was the commercial street in the city center, which was two stops away from Le Ning's home and six stops away from Xia An's home.

Xia An, who is already worth millions, was sitting in a taxi enjoying the air conditioning. When he was about to reach his destination, he saw Xiao Lening riding a bicycle under the scorching sun on the side of the road.

He sucked his teeth, sighed, and asked the driver to stop at the next intersection.

Le Ning saw Xia An waiting there with a black plastic bag from afar, smiled and slowed down.

It seemed as if he wanted Xia An to appreciate his splendor as he came riding on the wind.

good-looking.

Xia An did look at the dress with white background and blue flowers.

The skirt flutters and the ponytail flutters.

Her skin was as white as moonlight and looked like it would never get tanned, and the Converse canvas shoes on her feet were small and exquisite.

In Xia An's heart, Le Ning's smile can be patented.

The only one in the world.

It was a smile that was light, free and easy, and extremely natural.

Not one point more because of happiness, not one point less because of depression.

Only when facing Xia An would the corners of his mouth rise an extra three to five degrees, perfect score.

Just like her name, it matches the hot summer at this moment.

Just like pouring lemon sparkling water into a glass filled with ice, it creates a pleasant sound and light color, making people feel comfortable.

Le Ning rarely showed a hint of playfulness and wanted to tease him.

When he got in front of Xia An, he didn't slow down, but just spread out his two slender long legs and put them down.

Bad Xia An, I hit you.

Xia An didn't move and reached out to hold the handlebars.

Le Ning tilted her head and looked at him, with a layer of sweat on her forehead and nose.

Xia An said, "Why don't you take the bus? Isn't it hot?"

Le Ning shook her head gently and smoothed the hair that was stuck to her forehead due to sweat.

"Mom said there are a lot of thieves on buses during summer vacation."

“?” Xia An didn’t understand. “So?”

Le Ning didn't explain, but took out an envelope from the handmade cloth bag she was carrying across her body and handed it to Xia An.

Xia An took it and squeezed it, then took a breath and sighed, then gave her a helpless smile.

Le Ning: "There's still more than a month left in summer vacation. You must be out of pocket money. Take it. Mom will accompany me to Shanghai, so I don't have to spend any money myself."

There was a total of 976 yuan in the envelope.

This is the pocket money that Le Ning saved herself.

Xia An took out the money and put it into his wallet.

Hand the plastic bag to Le Ning.

"What?" she asked.

I lowered my head and opened it, and saw a can of twinkling stars and a book... "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword".

Le Ning has read all the martial arts novels, and is familiar with all of them by Jin, Gu, Liang and Wen.

This copy of The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li was not newly bought by Xia An. He forgot whether he borrowed it from Le Ning in the first or second year of high school and never returned it.

It's still brand new at this time.

"Give it to me?"

"of course."

Le Ning was very happy and satisfied.

But the smile is already perfect, there is no way to exaggerate it any more.

She is not good at the "Hanghang, Kuku, haha laughing" that others do.

I learned this when I was in junior high school, but my female classmate said there were geese in the classroom, so I never dared to do it again.

"Thank you."

She looked at the little star carefully, and Xia An told her honestly that she had started folding it last night and didn't have enough time.

"Look at the bigger and uglier ones inside. They're my work. The rest of the more delicate ones are the ones you gave me before. We've melted them together."

Huang Rong said to Guo Jing: Brother Jing, you are stupid, but it doesn’t matter. As long as you are thinking about Rong’er in your heart, I will be very happy.

Le Ning said to Xia An, "It doesn't matter. Even if you made one of them, it's enough. It would be even better if they were melted together."

"..."

Xia An took a breath of hot air.

Seeing that she was about to turn the page, he reached out, took the bag from her, and stuffed the plastic bag into it.

"We'll see when we get home. You get off and I'll ride for a stroll."

……

……

Le's father, Le Yuqun, is a middle-level leader of the Provincial Writers Association. He is at work and not at home.

Le's mother, Zhou Ting, runs her own business and has opened several clothing stores. She was packing her bags at home because she was going out with her daughter.

Le Ning did not lie to her mother and said frankly that she was out on a date with Xia An.

Zhou Ting was so angry that he put his hands on his hips and scolded her: How shameless are you?

Le Ning said "Oh", closed the door and left.

But she knew her limits. Last time it was an accident, and this time she had to get home before dark.

The bicycle sped along in the 33-degree heat wave.

Little Lening hugged Xia An's waist like a cute koala.

Eucalyptus globulus is a poisonous plant that only koalas can eat and digest.

And it tastes delicious, the more you eat it, the cuter you become.

Le Ning said she didn't want to go to the cinema or go shopping in the mall, and didn't want to buy anything.

"No need to spend money, just take a walk, save the money for your vacation."

...

Xia An rode his bike to the old town.

There is a large ancient building complex here, which is considered a tourist attraction, but not many people come here.

It has a charming and flavorful atmosphere and is suitable for young people to take a walk.

Eucalyptus globulus was basking in the sun and hugged by the koalas, and the heat was gone.

I went into the store to buy two bottles of drinks and asked Le Ning, "Are you done? Can I have something cold?"

Le Ning rolled his eyes at him and said he wouldn't drink it even if he could.

"Drink hot drinks in the summer to dispel dampness and cold."

Xia An couldn't even swallow a sip of the hot cola, so he ended up buying a bottle of room temperature mineral water for Lening and a mung bean popsicle for himself.

Le Ning refused to let him eat cream no matter what.

Xia An unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to her.

"It's not healthy, the mung bean ones are just okay."

The longer you live, the more I like you.

She smiled and said that it was like drinking sweetness from mineral water.

...

Outside the faded red wall on the north side of the scenic area is an old residential area with low-rise old buildings.

There are even fewer people strolling around here.

I turned into an alley and saw no one.

Le Ning said that he liked it here and said, "I won't leave, let's take a rest for a while."

There is a swing between two old elm trees, and the seat is a tire suspended by two hemp ropes.

But there is a mat on it, so it's not dirty.

Le Ning sat on it and swayed gently.

Xia An sat on the stone pier and watched the sky through the gaps in the leaves with her.

The cicadas seem very noisy at home, but here they feel very quiet.

Le Ning crossed her legs, held onto the hemp rope and began to swing, saying, "That's great."

Xia An nodded and said, "Yeah, that's good."

Xia An held the popsicle stick in his mouth for a long time, and then bit it with his teeth and flicked it away, hitting the tree trunk.

A cicada flew away with a "click".

Xia An asked Le Ning: "Why do you like me?"

Le Ning was still swinging, her smile unchanged.

After a few seconds, she said, "It's fierce, eyes are red, and the heart is heavy. Is this called love?"

Xia An thought for a moment and said, "Scream."

Le Ning said, "It's hard to explain." The two fell silent.

After a while, Xia An stood up, patted his butt, walked behind Le Ning, and gently pushed while holding the rope.

A few unripe light green elm seeds were blown off the branches by the wind and landed on the shoulders of the summer eucalyptus.

The girl's skirt flutters up and down, and the boy's shoulders bear the weight of the lush grass and singing birds in midsummer.

At four o'clock, the white clouds gradually turned gray.

got windy.

The two looked at each other.

Le Ning arched her nose, and Xia An said, "Oh no! Flirt quickly."

After taking a few steps, there was a loud thunder.

I hadn't run a few steps when raindrops as big as beans began to fall.

The earthy smell that had just risen was instantly suppressed by the heavy rain.

The road surface was bubbling and both of them were soaked in an instant.

Xia An held Le Ning in his arms and raised his hands to shield her from the rain, but Le Ning still couldn't open her eyes because of the heavy rain.

Xia An said, "Don't run outside. Go find a hole in the building over there to take shelter from the rain."

Le Ning nodded vigorously at him.

The old building had no doors. Xia An pulled Le Ning through the thick rain and ran into the first corridor at the end.

Amid the sound of the pouring rain outside, the two looked at each other's miserable appearance and smiled at each other.

Xia An took off his T-shirt, wrung it dry, wiped his buzz cut, wiped his body, wrung it dry again, and then wiped Le Ning's hair himself.

Drops of water slid down her forehead along her hair, lingered on her long eyelashes for a moment, and then dripped onto the bumpy concrete floor.

In Le Ning's eyes, it was Xia An's clean upper body.

He looks thin, how could he be so strong?
I have muscles...I'm much healthier than when I played football in junior high school.

Le Ning crossed his arms and hugged them in front of his chest.

It's not cold. It won't be that cold even if it rains on such a hot day.

The white skirt was made of gauze, it was wet and soaked.

Xia An saw it clearly, it was a complete set, and black.

He knew that Le Ning liked to wear black underwear.

"shy?"

Xia An didn't stop, patiently helping her wipe her hair, and said with a faint smile.

After hearing this, Le Ning put down his hands and stood quietly.

He shook his head like a drowned rat and said, "I'll show you sooner or later. Don't be shy."

What have you got that I haven't seen? Xia An smiled.

"Okay, don't be shy."

The doorway is dry and shady all year round, but it still feels a bit cold when the wind blows.

Seeing that Le Ning's lips were turning pale, Xia An wrung out the clothes again and put them on her.

Just right, covering the butt.

The white noise of falling rain rang in their ears at close range, and the two of them became quiet.

Le Ning walked to the door, leaving a few footprints with her wet shoes.

She reached out to catch the water droplets that fell in lines from the rain shower.

Crackling, crackling, the rain gathered into puddles in the small, white palms.

She suddenly asked Xia An:

"Are you cold?"

"Ok?"

Xia An was distracted and didn't hear clearly.

Le Ning put down her hand, walked over, and pressed her whole body against Xia An's chest.

She put her arms around Xia An's waist.

No one spoke for half a minute.

Le Ning's wet face was pressed against him, and her heartbeat could be heard.

"Speed ​​up."

"Ah."

"Don't you want to hug me?"

Xia An hugged Le Ning.

Le Ning's thin body trembled slightly.

What the girl smelled was the scent of the boy, as bright and clear as the moonlight before the rain.

After a while, she raised her head and looked into Xia An's eyes with a smile.

What the young man saw were the stars deep in the sky, the sun moving and the moon sinking.

Le Ning's face flushed:
"So that's what it feels like."

"What's this feeling?"

Le Ning said: "Hugging someone you love, this is what it feels like."

Xia An smiled, "How does it feel?"

Le Ning answered bluntly: "My heart was pounding and my body was urging."

Xia An laughed out loud.

The heroine is so brave!

Le Ning said: "This is normal. Girls always mature earlier than you boys."

Xia An nodded and looked at the pretentious and serious Xiao Lening.

Maybe compared to other people of the same age, she is mature.

But in Xia An's eyes, Le Ning with this kind of personality is... cute.

Next sentence:
"Did you sleep with her?"

Le Ning suddenly asked.

Xia An was stunned.

Can you turn like this?

Who? Zuo You?

Of course not.

"Tang Wan."

Seeing Xia An's stunned look, Le Ning asked again with a smile.

Xia An smiled bitterly and shook his head, beginning to understand what she was thinking.

Seeing this, the tension in Le Ning's eyes disappeared for the most part.

She took a step back, one hand still on his waist, the other pushing a damp lock of hair behind his ear.

Then she raised her little head again and smiled gracefully like the goddess of dawn.

She said some very explosive words to her sweetheart, the little boy.

"Xia An, you are still young.

"I also know that you have me in your heart now, but it's not just me.

"You said you liked Zuoyou since you were very young, so it's not surprising.

"She's very talented and beautiful, and you guys live so close to each other. I understand it's because of hormones.

“Similarly, because of Zuo You, it’s easy for you to develop feelings for women who look like her.

"Besides, you guys at this age always fall in love with mature, older girls..."

Xia An was completely confused.

The pretty face so close to him was gradually shrouded in a layer of holy light in his eyes.

Oh my god...

Wife, you...

Le Ning continued, "So, it's just that I fell in love with you too early.

"I blame all the mistakes on time, it was the wrong time, not us.

"But I'm not afraid. Soon, when you go to college, you'll find that the walls are crumbling. There's another world out there, and there are other possibilities for your destiny.

“And grapefruit is never the only fruit.”

Xia An was very surprised. Le Ning didn't seem to regard Tang Wan as a threat at all.

He looked deeply into Le Ning's eyes.

I felt heartache for the umpteenth time, and at the same time, I had the thought of "giving up or not giving up" again.

Can I really hurt Le Ning again?

Most people want different things at different times. Do your best and respect what you cannot.

Le Ning seemed to have condensed his youthful interests into an "inner elixir" and practiced around it throughout his life.

He was possessed by the devil, but took it as the way.

Xia An firmly believed that she had thought about giving up countless times in her previous life.

But I always feel unwilling.

Over and over again, I search around the dark clouds for the glimmer of romance to survive.

then…

Youth and love never grow old. Even if they have to overcome difficulties and lose their horses and clothes, they will never retreat.

He is a teenager, so why isn't he obsessed with Zuo You?
Le Ning is not a teenager, but he is still young.

Xia An hugged her in his arms.

"You're the kind of person who cuts yourself to please others. Aren't you afraid that soon you'll be left with only bones?"

Le Ning felt the strength of his arm, lowered her head and shook it.

"Just to please you. And you like me too, don't you?"

"like."

"That's good."

In the TV series, Li Xunhuan said to Sun Xiaohong: You came at the right time.

Xia An sighed deeply and said to Le Ning, "I'll try my best to make things clear."

OK.

Many of the pains in life come from blind competition.

In order to avoid regret and pain later, and also to avoid causing pain to those you care about.

Then you have to develop some wisdom to not compete.

Many people say that money can’t buy love, and Xia An doesn’t deny it.

But he firmly believes that problems other than life and death will become smooth with money and ability.

If it's not smooth enough, it's because you don't have enough money or skills.

……

……

After more than forty minutes, the heavy rain finally subsided.

Xia An ran out with Le Ning shirtless and hailed a taxi.

Worried that there were many bicycle thieves these days, he braved the rain to help her ride the bicycle back.

When they arrived downstairs at Le Ning's house, Le Ning, who had already changed her clothes, ran down and kissed Xia An.

Then he slipped away without saying anything.

"The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword" was spread out on the lemon pink-toned bedroom desk.

There was an envelope tucked into the book.

There are two thousand dollars in it.

And a note:
[Don’t ask, if you ask, it’s earned from working]

[Shanghai is a city with high expenses, poor families have rich roads, so eat when you should and spend when you should]

　The first part is too tense, so slow down the pace for two chapters.

　　Thank you all for your tips and votes.
