Still, Wait For Me
Chapter 2 See You In Life
Many 19-year-old courtyard students sit on long-distance cars to Iwatsu City.
In 2011, it took three hours to drive from Graduate City to Iwazhou City, and now, in 2003, Xu Tingsheng had just spoken to the driver and it took five hours.
Xu Tiansheng spent one day and one night before accepting the reality of rebirth. This year, 2003, is the beginning of March. After the initial panic, he was even a little excited and excited, perhaps because of too many regrets left by previous generations.
There are three things before us:
The first is the unexpected death of his father, which will take place on 15 April, more than a month later.
Second, Xiang Jie, she should be only 14 years old at this time, the first of the previous year. As far as what the gardener is currently seeing and hearing, this time the butterfly wings flared has not changed anything, but he still can't wait to confirm that the item exists, or that he just wants to see her.
The third is the college entrance exam, which has almost three months left.
Xu Tingsheng had been to Xiang Jie's home high school, the second senior high school in Iwazhou City, accompanied her then senior year in memory of her youth, but worse, he did not know Xiang Jie's junior high school.
The 2003 long-distance car was not comfortable and the road was in poor condition. Xu Tiansheng was sitting next to a middle-aged woman with silver-sided glasses because of the car's turbulence and constant vomiting.
Xu Tiansheng handed her plastic bags, paper towels and helped her open the mineral water.
“Thank you, excuse me. ”
The middle-aged woman leaned her head back and gasped slightly, slightly sideways, a little embarrassed to thank Xu Tiansheng.
“It's okay. My mom and sister can't ride either. ”
Xu Tiansheng smiled gently. The psychological age of 31 made him look more stable than his peers.
“Playing in Iwata? You're still a student, right?” The lady covered her mouth.
“Yes, senior year, go do something... the family is over there.” The mysterious illusion of the heart made Xu Tiansheng disguised himself.
“Oh, senior year is tough. I'm a teacher, but I teach junior high. ”
“Junior high school in Iowa City? Or is it Jinnan?” Xu Tiansheng went into a trance and asked.
“Yes, Iwata, I was here the other day for a training session… Would you like some plum?” The teacher said.
“Okay, thanks… I've loved sour since I was a kid. ”
“Me too. ”
Xu Tinsheng took a word plum in his mouth and the two seemed to get closer as a result. Xu Tiansheng hesitated for a while. If he asked, "Do you know a first-year student, her name is Xiang Jieng?" It will almost certainly alert the other party.
Xu Tiansheng thought about it, so he relaxed: “My cousin is in first year in Iwata, maybe it's your student, haha. ”
“What a coincidence... where is your cousin in school?” The teacher laughed, perhaps because the conversation distracted her, and she stopped vomiting.
“Not too clear, less moving. Her name is Xiang Jie.” Xu Tiansheng said somewhat impatiently.
The teacher looked at him half open.
Xu Tiansheng lifted his eyelids in confusion.
“No way, there's a girl in my class called Jiang Jing, I don't know if she has the same name.” The teacher said.
Xu Tiansheng felt somewhat overwhelmed, between excitement and tension.
“Where does the teacher teach?... I'll go back and ask my family. Maybe I'll have to ask my teacher for more help. ”
“New Rock High School. What a coincidence. My last name is Liu, Sherry Liu, please take note of my phone number,...”
“Hope so.” Xu Tingsheng took note of Teacher Liu's call.
* * * * * *
Xu Tingsheng lives in a cheap little hotel, 5 minutes from Xinyan Middle School.
He didn't dare go through Mr. Liu to find Xiang Jing.
Suppose Teacher Liu tells Xiang that your cousin is looking for you, and then the little girl, only 14 years old, sees a completely strange man... Xu Tiansheng is afraid to scare her.
The doorman tried, but the school was semi-enclosed and he couldn't get in without good reason and proof. Xu Tiansheng did not dare to mention the name of Xiangzheng, let alone prove or register.
Xu Tin tried to climb the hillside behind the school, just sitting there for a day, where you can see the playground of the school, where the students in gym class would appear.
However, no coagulation was found.
At the end of the evening, some of the students attending school would go home, Xu Tin watched for two days, or there were no items, she might be staying at school. As for the possibility that Xiang Jie actually appeared and she did not identify herself, he believed that it did not exist, although she was only 14 years old at the time.
Xu began to wonder if the school was really just a girl of the same age.
Friday evening, all students return home from school.
Xu Tiansheng bought a bottle of mineral water at a small store in front of the school, leaning against the counter and looking at every student passing by.
There was a "Stay out of school" scene, where a little boy was chased by a few other slightly older boys.
There is the phenomenon of “early love”, where little boys and little girls walk together in secret, do not hold hands, even do not dare to speak, but the ambiguous atmosphere can be seen.
“Did Xiang Jie fall in love the first morning?” Xu Tiansheng thought a little bitter. “She talked about it once in high school, her boyfriend is said to look like Wang Lihong and is a rich second generation... can't stand it, should we stop it? ”
On weekends off, the majority of students left school at a somewhat impatient pace, and the flow of people at the doorstep quickly went from busy to nil.
Still no coagulation appeared.
Xu Tiansheng looked at the watch with some anxiety. The school and home left notes, and parents and teachers were in no hurry, but nothing happened. But it's been four days since Xu Tiansheng stole 200 yuan from his mother. If he has to wait another week, he can only live on the street.
There may be a few more schools to look for, and that would be more than a week.
But he has to see Xiang Jiao, otherwise he can't do anything.
The doorman is closing the school door, which is not the kind of automatic door that can be telescopically retracted, but two tall iron doors. The door closed slowly, making a squeaky friction.
In the middle of the gradually smaller door seam, the figure of the two little girls appeared in sight and rushed towards the door.
“Uncle, wait a minute. ”
Two little girls rushed out hand in hand, excited as if they had just made a victory run for it.
The one with the long hair, no.
The other, Qier's short hair, tied a cluster of braids in the middle of his head. Eyebrows, mouth, tip of nose, smile, although the clear show in memory was replaced with green, everything is still so familiar.
Xu Tiansheng's tears fell when she saw her first eyes.
But I really want to laugh, this outfit, it's wild... and then it's not a route.
Also, the skin is a lot better than it was later, before it ever got acne.
Besides, you didn't come out so late, did you?
“What should I do?” Xu Tiansheng grinned and wiped his tears in panic. He had envisioned the scenario, but had not designed his own reaction.
“Go up and tell her that you are Xiang Jie, I am Xu Tiansheng. In eight years, Xiang Jie will fall in love with Xu Tiansheng. Will we be together? … this is the most wanted but also the first option that should be excluded. ”
“Pretend to be the guy who admires her, go up there and talk to her?... but I'm too big, she's too young, she'll sue the teacher, won't she? It may not be sudden for a 27-year-old man to talk to a 22-year-old girl, but at 19 and 14, the gap and the gap are so frightening. ”
“The best option should be… to look at her like this and leave silently.” Xu Tiansheng tried to suppress his impulse.
“As long as you're here... everything else doesn't matter, you can take your time.” Xu Tiansheng clenched his fist and his palms were covered in sweat.
Two little girls turned a corner and jumped towards the shop.
Walk to Xu Tiansheng.
“Boss, I want a bottle of orange juice. ”
Little girl of the changing period, the voice is still very different from the later, the coarse and mute voice, Xu Tiansheng sounds very happy, like heaven.
The clump of braids on the top of the neck swayed, focused on paying in the bag, the sleeves clamped to the elbow position, revealing a pink, thin little arm.
Xu Tiansheng held her breath, but she had just cried. She couldn't help but swallow, so he shrugged.
When Xiang Zheng paid for it, he looked up at the strange man who was standing in the shop crying.
Her eyes, as she had seen many times when she looked at each other, were clear and bright, and she could see everything from them. Xu Gardener's face had a cramped feeling. He wanted to smile. He had better smile a little, but couldn't do it.
Xiang Zheng glanced at her, she frowned and bit her teeth, trying to twist the orange juice cap.
“Hoo-hoo... can't open.” Xiang whispered.
“I'll help you.” Xu Tinsheng stood up in the moment when he came out of his mouth, despite the fact that he had helped her open the cap countless times before.
“I'll do it." The long-haired girl took the bottle, snapped it open, and it didn't take much to blow.
Xiang Gao raised his head, mumbled and drank water, slightly trembled his throat, slender and long neck, and delicate and lovely ears, crystalline earlobes... Xu Tiansheng once said to Xiang that every time he saw you drink water, he seemed to be dying of thirst.
After about 10 seconds, Xiang sighed and drank half a bottle of orange juice. Xu Tiansheng only took a look, and he dared not look more.
Two little girls held hands and left.
Xu Tiansheng didn't dare to follow him. He looked at the shadow from afar, gradually distant, until it disappeared.
“Honey, I'll be ready for everything, then, when you grow up. ”
