dear tiger tooth boy

01

Although she and Yunho had an agreement to "go back to China" together, Jiang Ning always felt that this was like the promise of "have time to eat together" that people often talk about, and I don't know when it will be realized.

Therefore, when Jiang Ning, who had just finished class, received a call from Yunho saying that the company had already booked a flight ticket to Hangzhou on November 11, and had to leave tomorrow afternoon, Jiang Ning's first reaction was surprise, but I don't know whether to be happy or not.

After participating in activities in Shenyang, China with Shinhwa and Dana in May, Yunho went to Beijing to participate in the China-Korea Fan Club in July.The S/M China Love Concert in November is Yunho's third trip to China.

"But why is my air ticket booked? You don't know my passport number at all, do you?" Jiang Ning held her mobile phone in one hand and pulled her textbook out of her schoolbag with the other. "Besides, the teacher told me today that I My parents have already asked me for leave..."

When the word "parent" was mentioned, Jiang Ning couldn't help frowning and glanced out of the room door—although she didn't deny that she asked for leave for herself when she asked her grandma just now, but such an "unpredictable prophet" act really can not explain.

Jiang Ning faintly thought of something, but when she was still hesitating to investigate, Yunhao became anxious on the other end of the phone: "...It's a bit strange. But, it's already settled anyway. Dana said, you The quota is included in her entourage...Anyway, the company has great powers, so maybe I got your information from grandma. Jiang Ning, don't hesitate."

Hearing what Yunhao said, Jiang Ning didn't care about responding to Yunhao's coquettishness, but became more nervous: "Didn't the company not allow you to have girlfriends? Such a sudden booking of air tickets...wouldn't it be courtesy first and then soldiers?"

Yunhao didn't understand the meaning of "polite first, then soldiers", but he quickly grasped the point: "Girlfriend? Who is my girlfriend?"

Through the phone, Jiang Ning could feel Yunho's smirk overflowing.

Jiang Ning was speechless for a moment, wanted to laugh but was afraid that the other party would notice, so she could only blushed and bit her lower lip lightly.

The other party persisted: "Tell me, who is my girlfriend?"

Jiang Ning had no choice but to be rude: "You say I hung up the phone again."

"Don't, don't, don't," this trick really tried everything, Yunho immediately surrendered, "Okay, I won't say anything. Then you agreed? Okay, go and pack your things, take a rest early, sleep well, and be refreshed tomorrow Let's go together a hundredfold."

Jiang Ning said reservedly: "I didn't say anything."

"Well, you didn't say anything, you just acquiesced."

"Ah, Zheng Yunhao, you are really getting worse and worse now, who did you learn this from." Jiang Ning was amused by Yunhao's growing lip service, "Is it Kim Heechul who made you worse?"

Although the girl's tone was still a little blunt, she agreed anyway.

Yunho smiled with relief.Then he said in a very small voice, "I'm only 'bad' to you."

Jiang Ning heard it clearly.

She raised her eyebrows a little proudly, and replied in a low voice: "You should try to be 'bad' to other girls."

Yunho smirked: "Don't dare. Me, don't be 'bad' to other girls, I'm 'good' to them, right?"

"what?"

Yunho could imagine the look of the other party with black lines on his face now.

He couldn't help chuckling, and then assured him gently: "I'm only good to you, too. I'm only good to you."

Jiang Ning's ears felt a little hot.Although a little shy, she smiled contentedly after all: "It's not too bad."

"Zheng Yunhao!" There was a familiar knock on the door from the other end of the phone, "Ah! How much time do you want to occupy the bathroom! I'm going to tear down the door!"

"Brother Heechul, calm down, calm down!" Donghae must have been pulling Heechul again while frantically grabbing the hammer and wrench from his hand.

Jiang Ning fell on the bed with her mobile phone laughing.

When the plane was about to arrive at Xiaoshan Airport, Jiang Ning was falling asleep with her head on Yunhao's shoulder.

There was a mistake when the staff booked the ticket, and the first-class ticket was gone. Dana and Shinhwa both sat in the business class, while Yunho and Jiang Ning sat in the economy class.Jiang Ning herself doesn't care about the cabin.As for Yunho, he was even a little happy - the distance between the two seats in other classes is a bit large, and only in the economy class, Jiang Ning can lean on his shoulder relatively comfortably like this.

It only takes two hours to fly from Seoul to Hangzhou. The main reason why Jiang Ning feels tired is the long-distance bus from Gwangju to Seoul.

Jiang Ning slept soundly, her breathing was slow and long, and she would gently rub her head against Yunho's shoulder from time to time, as if looking for the most comfortable angle.

Yunho's recent training has been very intensive, but probably because of the uncontrollable joy in his heart, the kid showed a lot of energy along the way.Like Jiang Ning, everyone in the company seized the time to catch up on sleep on the plane, and he was the only one with a smile on his face, not tired at all.

Yunho would occasionally lean his head gently on Jiang Ning's head.But because of the fellow staff, he still sits with his eyes closed most of the time.

The staff take care of Jiang Ning the same way they treat others, and it can even be said to be more thoughtful.But they seem to be deliberately "ignoring", or "accepting" Jiang Ning's existence.

The company's exceptional "benevolence" is itself very suspicious, and the "acquiescence" that turns a blind eye to the two children's fights when they are in the same company is even more weird.It's just that one was busy rehearsing at the time, and the other was full of worries when he returned to his hometown, so he didn't get distracted.

When going through the customs, Jiang Ning naturally queued up in the passage for foreigners.Listening to the familiar yet unfamiliar Chinese, Jiang Ning felt a sense of reality in a trance: she really returned to China.

After checking in at the hotel and having a simple dinner, Yunho and the others will start intense rehearsal that night.Jiang Ning followed the staff in the line to say hello, and only said to walk around the hotel; instead, she took a taxi and went to the most famous provincial hospital in Hangzhou.

After staying in Korea for a long time, Jiang Ning has become accustomed to various forms of honorifics in Korean.Suddenly hearing the uncle driver's mouth with a soft southern accent, Jiang Ning felt very strange.

Although I didn't grow up in Hangzhou, this city has the charm of a small southern town.Homeland is homeland.No matter how long you've been away, with just a glance, the sense of intimacy and belonging is like returning home with surprise.

According to the information she had learned in advance and the sweet "sister nurse", Jiang Ning quickly found the ward where her grandfather was.But when I looked inside, there was no one there.

"The patient should go for a walk after eating, you can wait." A little nurse passing by said, "The patient in this bed is recovering well."

"Thank you, sister nurse." Jiang Ning bowed politely.However, she did not wait.

The "reunion after a long absence" with her grandparents, Jiang Ning herself had no idea how to deal with it.Half of the courage I mustered up has been lost after such a "flutter".Besides, it is enough to know that grandpa's condition is "good".

However, just as he was about to walk out of the gate of the First Provincial Hospital, Jiang Ning saw two old people returning from a walk.

Although there was still a distance, Jiang Ning still recognized them at a glance.

The two elderly people supporting each other are like silhouettes inlaid in the afterglow of the west.

Jiang Ning was in a daze.Did they look shorter because they grew taller?

"Ah, child." Grandpa, who had been looking at the ground and walking slowly, suddenly stopped.

In an instant, Jiang Ning felt that she was frozen.

But in the next second, a little girl with two braids flew past Jiang Ning and threw herself into Grandpa's arms.

"Ouch, baby, slow down, don't fall." The two old people were delighted from ear to ear.

Jiang Ning was stunned for a few seconds before she recognized that the couple following the little girl with boxes of health supplements in their hands were her aunt and uncle.

This little girl is probably his cousin.

When her father passed away, this little cousin was just a baby in her arms. Now, she is already a little girl who can run so fast and call her grandpa.

The father is kind and the son is filial, and he is happy.

The scene in front of her was so warm that Jiang Ning almost didn't realize her sadness.

This is family.This is a family.

As if no one has ever been lost.

And myself, how redundant.

It was finally getting late.

Only then did Jiang Ning realize that Hangzhou in late autumn was so cold.

It was past ten o'clock when Jiang Ning returned to the hotel.There were tens of meters away from the hotel gate, and she was caught by Yunhao who had been guarding the gate for a long time and came flying at this moment.

"Ah, I said where have you been?! After eating, I said to take a walk, but I came back at this point, and the phone was still turned off! Do you know how worried I am!"

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Ning actually took a taxi back home.But the more she thought about it, the more bored she became, and Yunhao and the others were busy with business, so she walked around by herself.

It was not early in the morning, and Jiang Ning, as a sensible little girl, would definitely not dare to go to secluded places.But the hotel itself is located in the West Lake Scenic Area. Although it is night, it is not difficult to find a place with bright lights and people coming and going.She found a corner and silently watched people coming and going.

There are always many people who come to paradise on earth to travel.There are young couples like you and me, and there is also a harmonious and happy family.

Jiang Ning looked at the beautiful reality that was repeated in front of her eyes, scene after scene, and felt relieved and desolate.

Other countries will always be other countries.The hometown is no longer the hometown.

The phone is turned off on purpose.At that moment, Jiang Ning really didn't want to see anyone.

Including him from "other country".

"I'm sorry, the phone is out of battery." The lie that Jiang Ning blurted out naturally surprised herself, and she seemed to be smiling more happily than usual, "I thought you guys wouldn't finish until at least eleven o'clock, hee hee."

"What do you think? If we don't rest so early today, are you going to pretend that you didn't run around and stay in the hotel obediently?"

"Okay, I was wrong." Jiang Ning really didn't have the heart to argue with Yunho, and seeing his serious look, she could only change the subject by acting obediently, "Sister Dana and brother Junjin, have they gone back to rest yet?"

Yunho gently pressed Jiang Ning's little head looking around, puffed up his face, and said in a low voice: "They sneaked out for supper. I was going too..." He looked at Jiang Ning feigning anger lemon.

Jiang Ning smiled again: "Okay, don't we leave the day after tomorrow? After you finish the performance tomorrow, I will take you to eat delicious food."

Yunho stretched out his little finger: "Promise."

Jiang Ning also stretched out her finger obediently: "Agreement."

Only then did Yunhao smile contentedly, and rubbed Jiang Ning's head casually.

In the eyes of outsiders, these two people seem like a pair of naive middle school student couples.

"By the way," Yunho suddenly remembered, "Tomorrow we will perform, and we will leave in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Do you have time to go...to see your family?"

When Yunho said the last few words, he was obviously cautious.

Jiang Ning still smiled: "If I don't have time, I will disappear. Anyway, they don't necessarily miss me, hahaha."

Yunho frowned: "Jiang Ning..."

"I lied to you." Jiang Ning said nonsense again, "They just went on a trip, and I just received a call after dinner, and I haven't had time to tell you." She said, shaking the phone in her hand seriously .

"That's it..." Yunho thought for a second with some regret, but then smiled happily, "That's fine. I've been worrying about whether you will choose to abandon me tomorrow and go to be with your family."

abandon……

Hearing this word, the smile on Jiang Ning's face froze suddenly.

Yunho was still talking to himself: "Okay now, although I sound selfish, I just want you to watch my performance."

Jiang Ning forced herself to: "Come on. I know you already have a FanClub in China, and there will be someone in the auditorium holding your Yunho sign alone. It doesn't make any difference if I have one more or one less. "

Said without a trace, turning his back to Yunho, not wanting him to see the tiredness and sadness on his face that couldn't be concealed more and more.

The word "abandoned" was spinning rapidly in her mind.She felt that the next second, her head was going to explode.

"That's not it!" Yunho hurriedly turned Jiang Ning's body around, trying to explain, "To me, you will always be..."

However, Jiang Ning lowered her head and rested her head gently on Yunhao's chest again.

Just like that snowy night in the subway station in Seoul.

Yunhao's words immediately choked in his throat.

"What is forever?" Jiang Ning closed her eyes and asked softly.

Once interrupted, it was difficult to speak again.Yunhao paused: "Forever... always..."

"Okay." Jiang Ning still closed her eyes, paused, and suddenly said, "I'm so tired."

"what?"

"I'm so tired." Jiang Ning's eyes were a little wet, "Just let me lean on you, okay?"

Yunho is helpless, you've obviously leaned on me first.

Although a little inexplicable, he still didn't say anything after all, but put his hand gently on Jiang Ning's back.

I'm so tired, at this moment, just allow me to rely on you like this.

I may not be able to escape "abandonment".I don't expect forever.

Just this moment.

I am so tired.Please don't leave me for now.
