Old Cannon's Infatuation

Zhang Xuan had a long dream.

Dreamed that Tan Xiaofei, who was a teenager, was holding her hand and walking on a long staircase.It looks a lot like the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing, but the steps are so long that they can't see the end, as if they can lead to the sky.

"Hurry up, it's almost here."

"Where are we going, Xiao Fei?" The warmth of his hands could be heard clearly, and there was a slight sweat on his head.

"Follow me, Ah Xuan."

In the dream, he turned his head and smiled at her, holding her hand tightly.

She stopped asking and settled down to follow him.

But when the screen changed, he was gone.Her heart tightened, and she woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the faint white light of the early morning, and the air was filled with the faint smell of medicine.

The next second when she regained her consciousness, Zhang Xuan remembered that she had a stomach ulcer last night and was in excruciating pain, and it was Tan Xiaofei who sent her to the hospital.

She moved her gaze away from the ceiling and looked around the entire ward, only her.Zhang Xuan sighed slightly, and closed his eyes again, with an indescribable disappointment in his heart.

He fell into a drowsy sleep for a while, and had a few mixed dreams, which were always unreliable.Hearing the door of the ward being pushed open, Zhang Xuan woke up almost immediately.

"Xuan'er, you're awake." Wen Qian was very happy, she put the thermos on the tea table beside her, and hurried forward, "How do you feel now? Does your stomach still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's much better, don't worry." Zhang Xuan sat up slowly, and Wen Qian supported her.

"Yesterday, I was really anxious to death. Your screaming pain and coughing up blood is too scary!" Wen Qian sat down beside her, still feeling scared after thinking about it.

"It's all my fault. I'm bothering you in the middle of the night. You're still pregnant."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can I ignore you when you're so sick?" Wen Qian rolled her eyes, "When you called me, I was terrified, you know. My husband didn't come back, so I I asked Xiao Fei for help. Did you see that you were in a coma, Xiao Fei's expression looked like he was going to kill someone."

"..."

Wen Qian looked at Zhang Xuan's calm and pale face, and sighed, "Actually, Xiao Fei really cares about you. When he sent you here yesterday, he was so anxious. I've never seen him look so sad. , there is no blood at all. I am worried that something will happen to you and he will faint again..."

"Will not."

"Later, when you fell asleep in the ward, it was almost dawn, and he refused to leave. He just sat in my position, held your hand and looked at you, without moving. I wanted to accompany you , He said that staying up late is not good for the child, and advised me to go back. He called me again this morning, saying that Uncle Gong is looking for him, and he wants to leave first, so I can prepare some food to see you. "

"...Really." With slightly lowered head, Zhang Xuan was a little dazed.

"Hey, forget it, let's not talk about that. The doctor has already said about your disease. It's an old problem. You have to keep your appetite well. First of all, you have to pay attention to your food." Wen Qian took the thermos and filled it for Zhang Xuan while talking. A bowl of porridge, "Try it, our nanny cooks porridge very well, and there are peanuts and red beans in it."

Wen Qian also served a bowl for herself. After a busy night, she was pregnant with her child again, so she was already starving.After eating a bowl of porridge, she touched her stomach, but when she looked up, she saw that Zhang Xuan was still in a daze, and she had only eaten a little porridge.

"Why don't you speak? Xuan'er, what are you thinking?"

"Huh?...Oh, it's nothing." Zhang Xuan came back to her senses, smiled slightly, and said after eating half a bowl of porridge, "...I suddenly remembered Chen Wenzheng."

Wen Qian was taken aback, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Huh? Why do you miss him?"

"Qianqian, do you remember him?"

"Remember, we used to be in our class." Wen Qian tried her best to collect the few memories about Chen Wenzheng left in her mind, "I was quite surprised when you said you were friends with him. It was completely unexpected. "

"Yeah." Zhang Xuan nodded indifferently, and said while eating, "I graduated and went to Shanghai to work, and he went there to study in graduate school. He usually takes good care of me. After more than a year, he said He has liked me since he was an undergraduate student. I was quite touched, so I was with him."

"Ah."

"When we were talking about a partner, he was very kind to me. He was just not very careful, and I could see it when I was sick. But I didn't care at that time, and I thought it would be troublesome for him to take care of me."

"..."

"We talked about it for a year. He mentioned to me a few times that he wanted to rent a house to live with me, but I didn't agree. Then he said he wanted to marry me. I thought about it and told him about Xiao Fei. .”

"What then?"

"He was quite shocked and said to think about it. I think so, so I just said think about it. I just thought that I was going to get married, and I couldn't hide this from him. As a result, two days later, he called me and told me that broke up with me."

"This person..." Wen Qian felt depressed, but didn't know what to say.

"Actually, I can understand that no one can just accept this matter. It's understandable that he chose to break up."

"..."

"He was also very sad, and kept apologizing to me."

"It's also right for him to apologize. A good marriage is just blown away like that, alas." Wen Qian has no impression of this old classmate, and only speaks for Zhang Xuan blindly.

"But I don't think it's really necessary." Zhang Xuan scooped up the porridge with a spoon and shook her head nonchalantly, "There's no need to apologize, because I don't love him either, so it's okay."

------------

Stomach problems mainly depend on support, and Zhang Xuan didn't want to waste money in hospital, so she waited until the afternoon checkup to confirm that there was no serious problem, and then she went home.

Tan Xiaofei didn't show up again until he left the hospital.Wen Qian basically didn't sleep much last night, and she was so sleepy that she almost passed out in the afternoon.Zhang Xuan sent her home first, and then took a taxi back to her residence.

Passing by the gate of a middle school on the road, just in time for school dismissal time, the taxi stopped and waited for the middle school students in groups of three and four on the zebra crossing to pass by.Zhang Xuan looked at the children coming and going in front of the car through the car window, and suddenly noticed a tall boy, wearing a common black and white school uniform with a down jacket, and his hair was shaved very short. Cold, standing among a group of classmates is particularly eye-catching.

His eyes followed the boy unconsciously until the taxi started up again.For some reason, she suddenly thought of Tan Xiaofei.

In the spring of Tan Xiaofei's third year of junior high school, there were only two months left before his senior high school entrance examination.In the last round of monthly exams, Tan Xiaofei fell outside the tenth place in the class.Mrs. Tan listened to Zhang Xuan's speech on the phone. Although she didn't say anything to blame, Zhang Xuan has always been able to observe her words. She could feel that Mrs. Tan was not satisfied with the results of her "work".

Being scolded by customers really affects the mood, and Zhang Xuan was a little depressed in the next few days.She didn't turn her head to blame Tan Xiaofei for not working hard, she just blamed herself a little.Xiao Fei is so smart, it must be his own fault if he didn't rank in the top five.So Zhang Xuan secretly made up his mind to supervise him more seriously, and would go to Tan's house to review with him every night as long as he had no class.

In fact, Tan Xiaofei himself didn't care about grades.It's not a big problem for him to fall in the ranking, anyway, he can still pass the exam.It's just that at that time, he already felt a little bit disgusted with others blaming Zhang Xuan, not even his parents.

So it was an apology, and it was also a show of determination to his parents. Tan Xiaofei didn't tell anyone that he went out and shaved his hair and came back.

Of course, he regretted it almost immediately as soon as he looked in the mirror.

When making up classes at night, Zhang Xuan was also taken aback when he saw his cool appearance.But Bingxue, who was smart, understood Xiao Fei's intentions as soon as she thought about it, and immediately pursed her lips and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Tan Xiaofei rubbed the top of her head, he was already more than half a head taller than her, "Show how long your hair is?"

"No." Zhang Xuan quickly waved his hands, smiling like crescent moons, "It's pretty good, really."

Tan Xiaofei pouted, took out the papers and books, and the two of them sat side by side in front of the desk and began to review.Just after finishing a set of questions, Tan Xiaofei's cell phone rang, and he glanced at the screen, frowning first.

"Who? Why didn't you answer?" Zhang Xuan leaned over and saw an unknown name jumping on the screen, which looked like a girl.

"Our squad leader is very long-winded." Xiao Fei explained subconsciously.

"Then you can't ignore him. It must be something to find you so late, so hurry up and pick it up."

Tan Xiaofei looked reluctant, but still picked it up, "...Hello."

"Hey, my young master, you've got it! If you don't pick it up again, I'll go to your house to find you." A crackling female voice came from the receiver immediately, and Zhang Xuan who was sitting at the side could hear it clearly.

"You think I want to pick it up..." Tan Xiaofei muttered.

"I said you, is it that difficult to let you run 1500 meters? I will arrange someone else if it is longer. You are so good at sports. Are you embarrassed not to participate in any event?"

"I told you I don't want to participate."

"Do you not participate in class activities if you don't want to participate?"

Listening to their conversation, Zhang Xuan probably understood the ins and outs.It turned out that tomorrow was the spring sports meeting of Tan Xiaofei and his middle school. The class leader had begged him to sign up for the long-distance race a few days earlier, but Xiaofei was unwilling, so the call from the class leader came here.

"Okay, okay, I still have to do the paper, hang up."

Xiaofei hung up the phone and looked at Zhang Xuan habitually, but saw her looking at him with a smile on her chin.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Why don't you participate in the sports meeting? Aren't you good at sports?"

"I don't want to participate." Tan Xiaofei seemed to look away unintentionally.

"Why?" Zhang Xuan approached him, deliberately looking into his eyes.

Looking at her face close at hand, Tan Xiaofei was stunned for two seconds, suppressed his beating heart, and told the truth: "My hair is too short, I'm so ugly, so I don't want to run."

"Eh?" Zhang Xuan didn't expect such a reason, and laughed on the spot, "Hahaha, really?"

After laughing for a while, Zhang Xuan looked at it seriously, and said, "No way, he's still very handsome."

"……Lied to me."

"No, I'm serious."

"..."

"Go and participate, Xiao Fei, the squad leader invited you to go, and you are good at sports, you will definitely win the first place if you go."

Tan Xiaofei took a fixed look at her, leaned on the backrest with folded arms and said, "Then you can go to see me and participate."

Almost without thinking about it, Zhang Xuan immediately nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll go and see. You can go and participate."

So, Tan Xiaofei really took Zhang Xuan to school the next day.The squad leader was stunned when he saw him coming. Although he was curious about why he suddenly changed his mind, time was running out, so she rushed to meet him.

"Brother Fei, you're finally here! Go to the roll call, 1500 is already preparing for the roll call. You go there and look for Sha Chen. I sent him to run away. You won't need him when you come."

"If I had known that you had found someone to replace me, I wouldn't have come." Tan Xiaofei was a little too lazy to move when he heard that the sports committee had already gone to roll call. bump into.

"Hey, of course you're still here, hurry up, hurry up!"

Tan Xiaofei glanced at Zhang Xuan, handed her the backpack, and said: "This is Xu Liqing, our class monitor, follow her to sit in our class area, don't run around, I'll be back in a while."

Turning around, he said to the class monitor: "This is Zhang Xuan, help me take care of her." After finishing speaking, she was about to go to the roll call, thought for a while and turned back, and whispered in Zhang Xuan's ear, "Sit closer, Where I can see it."

When he approached, Zhang Xuan straightened his back subconsciously, and in a blink of an eye, he had already left.I quickly shouted "Come on" at him, but I don't know if he can hear it.

Follow the squad leader to their class area, which is the position in the stands facing the curve and turning straight.The squad leader is a bright and straightforward girl, very friendly and careful.Finding that Tan Xiaofei valued this strange girl very much, he immediately arranged for her to sit in the front row. He was also very curious about their relationship, but before he started gossiping, the starting gun for the 1500 meters had already fired.

"Aww! It's Brother Fei!!"

It felt like the whole class and the girls in the next class all stood up, Zhang Xuan was surprised even if he had expected Tan Xiaofei's popularity in school.

Soon, the runners are entering the bend, which is the closest track location to their area.Seeing Tan Xiaofei running towards him from a distance, Zhang Xuan couldn't help standing up.A gust of warm south wind suddenly blows head-on. Standing on the stands, passing over the crowd of spectators, the vast world seems to be turned into blurred images.

At that moment, she could only see him.

The tall and thin boy was wearing a white T-shirt, and it was a bulging sail in the wind. He had short hair and sharp eyebrows. He only looked at her during the whole process of running through the curve.It wasn't until he turned to the straight that he turned his head and looked ahead.

Every lap after that, it was like this.In the end, the tacit understanding of the students all sat down when Tan Xiaofei entered the curve, leaving only Zhang Xuan standing on a high place, facing the running Tan Xiaofei far away.until he finally crossed the finish line.

There was a gentle touch in my heart, and the surroundings seemed to be quiet.Slightly drooping eyes, Zhang Xuan laughed silently.She could hear the unconcealable throbbing in her heart.

It was a romance that belonged to her alone.
