The sound of wind and footsteps could have been heard in the microphone, but now only the sound of wind remains.

Xie Ning buried himself in the pillow for a while, and didn't hear a response for a long time. He thought the phone was hung up, so he quickly looked at the phone with tears in his eyes.

Time keeps beating and changing, but no one is talking.

"Duan Ling..." He whispered, "Are you still there?"

As soon as the words in my heart came out, my emotions gradually cooled down.

The more Xie Ning thought about it, the more he felt ashamed, and tried to explain in a soft nasal voice: "I'm just saying, isn't today... Valentine's Day."

After a long time, there was an answer from the microphone.

"what time is it?"

Xie Ning looked up at the wall watch: "It's almost twelve o'clock, it should be morning at your place?"

While talking, he stood up on the ground, thinking that the TV was too loud, so he turned it off.

After turning off the TV, the voice on the other end of the microphone was clearer. Xie Ning suddenly froze and ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror.

Returning to the living room, he muttered sullenly: "...We don't want to make videos today, if you want to attend class, just hang up."

There was another silence. Although the tone was quite calm, in fact, Xie Ning's heart was beating up to his throat.

I kind of hope that the other party will respond after hearing his thoughts, but I am afraid that it will interfere with what Duan Ling is doing.

"It's too late, then I'll hang up first..."

"Xie Ning."

Duan Ling's voice was difficult, as if forced out of her throat: "Give me another year, okay?"

Just as his mood eased a little, Xie Ning's vision suddenly became hazy again after hearing him mention that it would take another year.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say that he is not on winter vacation, and even if he can't go back to the country, he can go to see him, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Memories of the training camp came to mind. At that time in the corridor, Duan Ling asked herself if she had the confidence to be farsighted and thoughtful than him.

Faced with this question now, even though I was admitted to University A, the answer is still no.

He is not as smart as Duan Ling, and he has not endured as much. As an outsider, a cannon fodder who should have ended long ago, he can't even help the protagonist share the pressure.

Xie Ning lowered his eyes and softly changed the topic: "... Are there many people chasing you abroad?"

Duan Ling paused first, then laughed lowly: "What are you guessing?"

It's not that he's thinking wildly, it's that he has the script in his hand!

"You seem to be very busy recently, but your temper has changed." With one hand kneading the hem of his pajamas, Xie Ning continued to probe: "...Is there something good?"

The voice that had just cried combined with the hesitant tone made it sound like she was being coquettish, and it was indeed so.

There was a faint inhalation sound, and Duan Ling seemed to have walked into some building, and the continuous sound of wind suddenly disappeared.

There was no extra noise at both ends, so quiet that one could hear each other's unsteady breath.

"There's nothing good going on here." Duan Ling said calmly, "If you're not very happy on the second Valentine's Day, then it's okay."

Xie Ning's heart skipped a beat.

This is not possible!

"But what do you mean, because we are not together?"

His brain short-circuited, he stuttered and panicked: "We didn't spend time together last year, I'm not unhappy, it's just..."

Duan Ling interrupted suddenly: "Tsk, forget about it."

Xie Ning's face turned completely pale, and he was about to ask him if he wanted to break up, but Duan Ling's voice sounded again, the tone was deep and gentle.

"The next...All Valentine's Days in the future will be replenished for you."

"Xie Ning, give me another year, okay?"

……

Xie Ning didn't know what would happen if he didn't say well. At that time, he was coaxed into a dizzy state, and his soul said 'yes' lightly.

This promise is like a temporary tranquilizer. My heart, which was fluttering and has no foothold, temporarily settled down, not as restless as it was a few days ago.

After all, Duan Ling has always done what he said, except for the fact that he went abroad, but he backed down, but he also gave him compensation.

Xie Ning repeatedly told himself not to be too greedy in life, just another year, it's no big deal.

Thinking so, that night, he still held the phone and refused to hang up, once he lost face, he simply lost it completely.

Fortunately, Duan Ling patiently answered every question he had, until he couldn't hold on in the early morning and fell asleep on the bed.

Early the next morning, the mirror in the bathroom showed red and swollen eyes, Xie Ning covered his face, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and get in.

It's so embarrassing, it's so embarrassing, I haven't done such a shameful thing in 20 years!

However, it is not regrettable...

Recalling her nagging until midnight yesterday, Duan Ling complacently heard Midnight and the gentle tone when he was called by his name.

Xie Ning blushed and turned on the faucet to force himself to calm down.

After Valentine's Day, the holidays are back in salty fish mode.

After two days of summarizing and reflecting, Xie Ning found that people, when there is nothing to do, can't help but think wildly.

So in order to get rid of this bad habit, he found something for himself to do.

That is He Manjuan who is tutoring at the end of his senior year.

There is still half a year before the college entrance examination. After the special training last holiday, He Manjuan slacked off for a semester, and his grades regressed back to before liberation, but his ability to have fun and roll is even more proficient.

Xie Ning rolled up his sleeves and decided to start with him and find something for himself to do!

If I have nothing to do, I just want to call Duan Ling, that doesn't really confirm the label of 'stalking'.

He's villa, study room on the second floor.

There were only two people in the study. He Manjuan was sitting at the desk, writing the paper without crying, while Xie Ning was concentrating on his handiwork.

About 10 minutes later, a ribbon with the words 'Must win the college entrance examination' was ready. Xie Ning walked around behind him and tied it on He Manjuan's forehead semi-compulsively.

"Not bad." He clapped his hands and exclaimed, "There are still 10 minutes, hurry up."

"…Humph!"

He Manjuan puffed up his cheeks, daring to speak out in anger.

He bit the pen holder, his eyes rolled around: "Why do you have to give me tutoring, no matter He Meimei."

Xie Ning responded, "She's a girl, so it's inconvenient."

"I'm still a man!"

"You really don't want to take tuition?"

Seeing his puffy look, Xie Ning hesitated in his heart, and began to filter other candidates in his head.

"Then do you have any classmates looking for a tutor, it's better to be less talkative, be more down-to-earth, and not particularly repulsive to learning."

He Manjuan, feeling disgusted: "..."

Xie Ning sincerely suggested: "I can have compulsory education."

Youyuan stared at him for a while, and He Manjuan reluctantly lowered his head: "No, teach me."

"You will go abroad after graduation, right? It doesn't matter whether you will take the college entrance examination or not." Xie Ning muttered to himself, "Forget it, I'll ask others..."

"do not want!"

He Manjuan took his hand and tried to squeeze out a distorted smile: "Xie Ning, I'm taking the college entrance examination, please give me tutoring!"

Xie Ning immediately sat back at the desk: "Then let's do two more sets of papers today."

He Manjuan: "..."

The process of tutoring He Manjuan was quite pleasant.

Although he is talkative and playful, his silly and sweet personality is indeed cute. The only thing that bothers Xie Ning is that this orange cat is the real pest.

Hanging on him at every turn, flirting delicately and crookedly, sometimes with a terrifyingly thick skin, a set of papers can be dragged on with him for a whole day.

"Forget it." Xie Ning put down his pen tiredly: "I'll ask Duan Ling to mail you a few sets of papers, and we'll study again."

He doesn't like to do the papers he takes, so he will finish the papers that Duan Ling sends him honestly.

Unexpectedly, hearing what he said, He Manjuan opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Brother Ling?! Can you contact him?"

Xie Ning was surprised: "Why can't I?"

"Didn't you break up...!"

"Who said that?"

"At the airport that day, Gu Zizhen also said it!"

Xie Ning picked another set of papers for him: "No, don't guess."

He thought He Manjuan would breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, but when Xie Ning looked up, he found that his lips were pale with fright, and his cat eyes were terrified.

"what happened?"

He Manjuan wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, pretending to be relaxed: "No, it's nothing, I thought you guys broke up, I was scared to death before!"

"I won't give you tutoring if we break up."

If he broke up with Duan Ling, he would definitely not have any contact with the people around Duan Ling.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, hearing the subtext in Xie Ning's words, He Manjuan pursed his lips, feeling depressed.

Silently moving away the arm that was sticking to Xie Ning, He Manjuan got angry: "I don't want to learn today!"

Xie Ning paused, looked up at him for a while, then sighed and compromised: "...that's fine."

He Manjuan didn't study, he had nothing to do, so he could only go back and harass Duan Ling.

He can't either.

Before leaving, the two chatted for a while. Wei Shuangnan lost contact during the holiday, and happened to inquire with He Manjuan about the situation of Duan's family.

It turns out that the Duan family has been quite peaceful recently. The Duan family and his wife are both in the country, but they don't show up often.

Duan Tiancheng was seriously ill. Before Duan Ling came back to pick up Yi's house, the news would definitely be kept a secret. It's not surprising that he lived in seclusion. What made Xie Ning feel strange was that Zhuang Tinglan was still in charge of Gu Xipiao at Duan's house. personal doctor.

Subconsciously, I always feel that he is not like Wu Xingyu, an ordinary person who has no concentration and is deeply seduced by beauty. Why did he stay in Duan's house?

If it weren't for the awkward relationship with Zhuang Mingyu now, Xie Ning really wanted to ask him to clarify.

In the following holidays, He Manjuan gradually returned to normal, but he was less tired of him, and no longer cuddled around like a cat. After asking Duan Lingyou for a set of test papers, his efficiency in doing the questions improved significantly.

The way to find things to do for himself was quite correct. Until the end of the winter vacation and the beginning of the new semester, Xie Ning never felt ashamed again.

I just don't know why, but there seem to be more people paying attention to him in the school than before, and several roommates often hold small meetings to discuss something, but when he comes, he disperses like a bird, and when he asks, he will only comfort him in a vicissitudes of life.

"Xie Ning, don't worry about those gossips, just study hard, we understand you."

Xie Ning: "...?"

It sounded like a very troublesome thing, but Xie Ning still deleted it after struggling with downloading the software for the school forum.

Forget it, don't care about it, just ignore it sooner or later.

Wei Shuangnan didn't even mention it, so it's definitely not a big deal.

With this kind of mentality of living his world in a relaxed way, for the next six months, Xie Ning's life is still regular to four points and one line, simple and comfortable.

After the freshman year, he moved into a house near the school, silently counting how long it was until one year.

This house is so big, when Duan Ling comes back, she will probably come to live here often.

He wanted to add some breath of life here in advance.

In a blink of an eye, it's September, the opening season of major colleges and universities.

Wen Xiao is a member of the Student Union of the School of Mathematics. He was supposed to be in charge of today's orientation activities, but he booked the wrong date when he booked the back-to-school bus ticket, so he had to ask his friends in City A for help.

[Brother Laughing: Emergency in Jianghu!Which dad do me a favor! 】

Xie Ning happened to be looking for something to do for himself, and when he saw it in the dormitory group, he agreed without hesitation.

On the day of the freshmen's report, there was a lot of people at the entrance of University A, and the square in front of the main building was dotted with the welcome windows of various colleges, and there were young and excited faces everywhere.

Behind the window of the School of Mathematics, Xie Ning was sitting silently looking at the list of freshmen, while Zimmer beside him was staring at him without blinking.

"I didn't expect that there would be unexpected surprises in welcoming the newcomers."

Xie Ning looked aggrieved: "I didn't expect that either."

At 09:30 in the morning, the sun was hot, and after signaling to the boys who came to report to sign the list, Xie Ning handed over a map.

Zimmer glanced at the flushed cheeks of the new junior, and after the person left, he teased with a half-smile: "As expected of Little Diamond, I am a sophomore and dazzled my junior."

"As expected of you, you are still good at helping when you are a junior."

Zimmer's face froze, and then he drooped his shoulders in frustration, picked up the map and fanned him.

"Xie Ning, what's wrong with me? I can speak well, I'm versatile, and I'm extremely handsome. You and I can try it for a month before making a conclusion!"

Xie Ning didn't know how many times he said, "I have a boyfriend."

Zimmer didn't take it seriously: "Don't lie to me, the one with dimples before? He didn't come to University A this semester. To be honest, you two broke up a long time ago."

"Dimples?" Xie Ning paused and explained, "No, he is my friend."

"Pfft, friend."

Zimmer snorted and changed his posture, because the new posture was a bit awkward to fan the wind, so he changed back slowly.

"Stop fanning, I'm not hot."

"You...!" Zimmer straightened his back in anger: "You really don't read the forum?!"

"dont see."

Not waiting for the next freshman, Xie Ning picked up his phone and accidentally found a missed message.

It was from Duan Ling half an hour ago, asking where he was and what he was doing.

After thinking about it, Xie Ning turned on the camera and took a picture of the school gate.

[Xie Ning: Welcome new students at school, substitute roommate, so hot (>—<)]

There was no reply to the message for a long time, but Zimmer next to him kept chattering.

Speaking of this senior from the School of Mathematics, Xie Ning couldn't find any other adjectives except helplessness.

After all, he used to be a courtyard grass, and there were a lot of men and women chasing him. This year, they always blocked him, and it was nothing more than meeting him in the library cafeteria.

More importantly, every time I stay with Zimmer, nothing good will happen.

Either missing the meal card in the cafeteria, not being able to borrow books in the library, machine failure, falling on the flat ground, there are so many similar things that Xie Ning wonders if this person has an unlucky physique.

Because I heard that Zimmer has been so unlucky for the past two years.

Half an hour later, a few more students were sent away, and Xie Ning carefully sorted out the list under the stares of all around.

"Senior, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll take over until 10:30, and my roommate will take over later."

"Don't, you haven't promised me yet, you can try it for a week first!"

Hearing that he was leaving, Zimmer was in a hurry.

"Xie Ning, we are destined, every time I talk to you, the whole day goes smoothly!"

Xie Ning: "..." That's right, your bad luck has shifted!

He rubbed his temples tiredly: "Senior, I really have a boyfriend..."

The originally quiet voice was clearly set off by the gradually quiet atmosphere.

I don't know when it started, but because of a dazzling presence in the noisy square, the unnecessary noise was eliminated.

Xie Ning didn't pay attention that much. He turned to Zimmer, wanting to explain thoroughly, but found that Zimmer raised his head halfway, staring straight at the window.

Xie Ning was taken aback, and while following his line of sight, he smelled a familiar scent in his nose.

Fragrant and sweet, as long as you smell it once, you will be haunted and lingering.

Xie Ning looked at the person in front of him, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he lost his voice for a moment.

"Xie Ning."

Duan Ling supported the brim of his hat, his peachy eyes like ink fell on his face, and there were circles of sparkling lines of light.

"I am back."
