Tolerate

That day, Xu Linlin got on the bus and went home in a fit of anger. Wang Yaning sat with her at home, but Xu Linlin didn't even look at her.The community gate guard questioned Wang Yaning for a long time, but did not let her in.

Wang Yaning stood outside the gate of the community, looked at Xu Linlin's angry back through the gap, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

It has always been like this - the angrier Xu Linlin gets, the more she wants to laugh.

"Yaning, which school do you want to go to?" Xu Yanfeng asked.Lu Qingming also looked up at her.

Wang Yaning hesitated for a moment, "I...I'll think about it again."

She can go to almost all the better high schools in Beijing.But I don't know which school Xu Linlin will go to.According to Xu Linlin's mother's personality, Xu Linlin is likely to go to the most expensive and best high school.

Thinking of this possibility, Wang Yaning felt a little depressed.For the first time, she was depressed about her family situation.

Wang Yaning thought for a while, and asked Xu Yanfeng in a low voice, "Can you lend me another copy?"

Xu Yanfeng raised her eyebrows, and teased her while taking out her schoolbag, "Sister, you are really addicted. Don't look back, your grades have dropped, rely on me!"

Wang Yaning was a little embarrassed by what she said. He reached out to take the book, stuffed it into his schoolbag, and said with a slightly red face, "I've only read a few books... Let's go and let Qingming sleep."

"Okay." Xu Yanfeng bowed his head and handed another copy to Lu Qingming. Lu Qingming hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should take it or not.

Yun said that she can't read now...

"I haven't finished that book yet..." Lu Qingming stared at the album, reluctantly withdrew his hand, "Forget it, let's read it first..."

Xu Yanfeng raised the picture album with a smile, and shook it in front of Lu Qingming's eyes, "Then I'll take it away?"

Lu Qingming's eyes followed the book, and he muttered in a low voice, "Take it away, take it away... wait until I'm discharged from the hospital."

Xu Yanfeng and Wang Yaning went downstairs together.Xu Yanfeng asked while chewing gum, "Are you going home?"

Wang Yaning hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I won't go back. I'm going to find Xu Linlin."

The two walked to the side of the road, and Xu Yanfeng said while throwing the chewing gum into the trash can, "Then you have to tell that ancestor in advance, don't you run all the way there, she's not at home."

Wang Yaning thought so too, took out his mobile phone and called Xu Linlin.

No one picked up.

Wang Yaning called again, but still no one answered.She couldn't help feeling a little worried, and continued to call several times.

"Could it be a nap?" Wang Yaning put the phone in his pocket and frowned.

"Oh, I must have missed it. Let's go, my sister will take you to eat ice..." Xu Yanfeng put one arm around Wang Yaning's neck and led her across the road.

Wang Yaning was thinking about the phone call that he didn't get through, and he didn't regain his senses when the ice was served.

"Hey!" Xu Yanfeng stretched out five fingers, and shook them in front of Wang Yaning's eyes, "Eat quickly, it will melt in a while."

"...Mmm." Wang Yaning lowered his head and stirred the cream on the ice.Just after taking a few bites, the phone in Wang Yaning's pocket vibrated.

She took out her mobile phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.She picked it up, and an anxious voice came from the opposite side, "Is it Yaning? Is Linlin with you?"

Wang Yaning was stunned for a moment, "Is it Miss Xiaoyuan? Linlin is gone?"

Li Yanyuan said anxiously, "Yes! The second aunt said that she and Linlin quarreled yesterday, and this morning Linlin had to fill out the volunteer form, and the second aunt scolded her again. Linlin ran away by herself and refused to answer the phone. ...Do you know where Linlin usually likes to go?"

Wang Yaning stood up and took the bag, "I... I'm not sure either."

"Where are you? I'll pick you up right now. Is it convenient to find Linlin together?" Li Yanyuan asked bluntly.

Wang Yaning glanced at Xu Yanfeng, and Xu Yanfeng winked at her desperately.

"Okay, we are here at the Second People's Hospital."

After waiting for Li Yanyuan for more than ten minutes, Wang Yaning was restless.She stood by the side of the road and kept calling Xu Linlin, but she still refused to answer.

"Does she not hear it, or does she not want to answer it?" Xu Yanfeng asked.

"It should be." Wang Yaning wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The temperature was frighteningly high, and steam was clearly visible in the air.Li Yanyuan drove the car with Wang Yaning and Xu Yanfeng, and looked for several places that Xu Linlin loved to go on weekdays, but there was no sign of Xu Linlin.

"Linlin and my aunt had a quarrel about applying for the exam." Li Yanyuan parked the car on the side of the road, answered a crying call from her aunt, and said with her eyebrows pinched.

Xu Linlin's mother has always been strong, and she insists on one thing at home, and neither her husband nor daughter can resist her.Xu Linlin would make a scene occasionally, but it was never so serious

"Sister Xiaoyuan, does Auntie want Linlin to go to 'Yucai' high school?" Wang Yaning asked.

Yucai is a private high school, famous for its high tuition fees and 90.00% admission rate.

"That's right..." Li Yanyuan sighed, "Actually, I don't think that high school is that good. It completely treats students as learning machines. Linlin said she wanted to enroll in No. [-] Middle School, but her mother didn't listen to her at all."

"Don't worry...you will definitely find it." Xu Yanfeng took out a tissue and handed it to Li Yanyuan.

But Wang Yaning was stunned for a moment.City No. [-] Middle School... was the school she wanted to enroll in.

City No. [-] Middle School is the best public high school, much better than the High School Attached to University of Science and Technology that Lu Qingming wants to enroll in.Both Wang Yaning and Xu Linlin's grades were slightly better than Lu Qingming's, so Wang Yaning felt that if Xu Linlin were to choose a public high school, she would definitely choose this school.

But the worrying thing still happened——Xu Linlin's mother really wanted her daughter to go to a private high school with a higher enrollment rate.

So Xu Linlin, did she do this to go to the same high school as her...

Wang Yaning's hands on his knees secretly clenched his fists.

"Linlin lost?" Chi Muyun wiped Lu Qingming's hands with a wet towel, and frowned slightly, "Did the parents call the police?"

Lu Qingming shook his head, "It seems not yet."

"Arguing with the parents...then she must have gone into hiding." Chi Muyun slowly applied the ointment on Lu Qingming, thinking all the time. ""

"Arguing with the parents, then she must have gone into hiding." Lu Qingming dialed Wang Yaning's phone number and carefully repeated what Chi Muyun said.

"Of course we know she's hiding!!!" Lu Qingming held the phone a little farther away, and Xu Yanfeng shouted into the microphone, "The question is where is she hiding!"

Lu Qingming looked at Chi Muyun.Chi Muyun reluctantly took the phone in her hand, "What's the reason for the quarrel?"

Wang Yaning answered the phone and whispered, "She wants to go to No. [-] Middle School, but her mother disagrees and wants her to go to Yucai to go to high school."

"Why does she have to go to City No. [-] Middle School?" Chi Muyun immediately grasped the point.

"Because..." Wang Yaning lowered her voice and stammered, "She... probably wants to go to high school with me..."

Li Yanyuan, who was driving in front, froze for a moment.She heard Wang Yaning's deliberately lowered voice.

"Then find the places you two have been to, especially... places with commemorative significance." Chi Muyun pondered.

Wang Yaning hung up the phone, frowned and thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Miss Xiaoyuan, let's go to No. [-] Elementary School!"

It's already summer vacation, and there's no one in No. [-] except for the two guards on duty.Xu Yanfeng went up to inquire.

"I didn't see a little girl coming in." The guard shook his head and said.

"Linlin may have climbed over the wall to get in. It's not like she hasn't done this kind of thing before." Li Yanyuan whispered, "Let's go in and look for it."

Xu Yanfeng bought two bottles of drinks for the guard with great insight, said a few good words, and the guard let them in.

Wang Yaning secretly prayed in his heart that he must find Xu Linlin.In fact, Xu Linlin didn't meet her very often, but they often chatted on the Internet.Sometimes she doesn't understand why Xu Linlin, who likes to be lively and playful so much, spends the whole day chatting with her?

She is such a boring person, Xu Linlin can bear it...

Before the senior high school entrance examination, she and Xu Linlin once went to No. [-] Primary School.They walked around the playground that day, Xu Linlin said that they had never gone to the toilet together arm in arm, and dragged her to the toilet together...

"Could it be...the toilet?" Wang Yaning stood in a small playground and asked in confusion.

Li Yanyuan was a little surprised, "Toilet?"

After searching all the women's toilets, several people looked at each other in blank dismay.

"I'll go to the playground to look for it again..." Wang Yaning wiped off his sweat and ran to the playground for a walk.

The grove next to it, the equipment room under the rostrum, the auditorium...

Not even a shadow of a person.

Wang Yaning stood on the lawn in a daze.She took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Xu Linlin, "Linlin, don't make trouble, I'm here in the primary school playground, can you come and find me? I really don't know where you will be, I guessed wrong... I'm really sorry very scared..."

After sending the text message, she sat on the lawn hugging her knees with her head down.

"Yaning, let's go, there's nothing here!" Xu Yanfeng went to pull her.

Wang Yaning did not speak and remained motionless.

"Oh, really!" Xu Yanfeng glanced at Li Yanyuan.Li Yanyuan's makeup was all over, and her hair was a bit messy, which made Xu Yanfeng feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Yanyuan is so kind to his cousin Xu Linlin...

Xu Yanfeng thought, if she had such a good cousin, it would be great.

... No, she doesn't want such a cousin.

"Yanfeng, thank you. I think this is fine. You and Yaning wait here to see if Linlin will come. As for me, I'd better continue to look for other places."

"Alright...Xiao Yuan, drive carefully." Xu Yanfeng said.

Although it was strange to be called "Xiaoyuan" by a little girl, Li Yanyuan didn't have time to worry about it, so she turned around and left.

Looking at her back, Xu Yanfeng was a little reluctant, and followed a few steps, "I'll take you out."

Wang Yaning rested her head on her knees.

The playground was very quiet, and Wang Yaning heard footsteps around him after an unknown amount of time.

She looked up, and Xu Linlin was holding a cup of milk tea in her hand, looking at her with her lips pouted.

Wang Yaning stared at her for a few seconds, "Where have you been?"

Xu Linlin sat down, put the milk tea next to Wang Yaning, and said nonchalantly, "I'm at the milk tea shop in front of the school. I saw your car. I thought you could find me..."

"Xu Linlin." Wang Yaning interrupted her calmly, "Do you think you are very smart?"

Xu Linlin froze for a moment, "Why..."

Before she finished speaking, she was frightened by Wang Yaning who suddenly approached.Milk tea was overturned by Wang Yaning, and Xu Linlin was also overturned by Wang Yaning.

Wang Yaning pressed her shoulder, his tone was still calm, "Xu Linlin, do you know how anxious I am?"

Xu Linlin was pinned down by her and couldn't move, her eyes were wide open, "You want to hit me???"

"I just... just ate a bowl of rice noodles at the rice noodle shop in front of the door, and then went to the milk tea shop to play games... What's wrong? Why should I tell you where I am... Who told my mother to teach me, I ……Well……"

She opened her eyes wide, staring at the strange Wang Yaning in front of her.Wang Yaning closed her eyes and bit Xu Linlin's lower lip.

"Ugh...it hurts..." When Xu Linlin called out pain, Wang Yaning's anger immediately subsided.She was a little helpless and embarrassed to do such a thing in a fit of anger.

She quickly got up from Xu Linlin and wiped her mouth.Both of them were silent for a while, before Xu Linlin asked, "How...how do you know I'm here?"

Wang Yaning said, "Didn't I just come here last week...Unfortunately, I found the wrong place. I thought...you would be in the playground or the toilet."

Xu Linlin stared at her with wide eyes, "toilet?"

She was simply convinced.What about Wang Ya-Ning's intelligence in studies?The toilet stinks, and there is no food or drink on the playground. How could Xu Linlin come to such a place to blow the cold wind?When Wang Yaning and Wang Yaning came to elementary school that day, Wang Yaning queued up at the milk tea shop to buy her pearl milk tea. Could it be that this bookworm himself forgot?

"... No matter what it is, you have to discuss it slowly. Your mother scolded you, so can you be so noisy? Your parents and your cousin are almost dying of anxiety."

Wang Ya-ning was still the same Wang Ya-ning, so Xu Linlin's effort came back.

"Hmph, I don't care. I just want to be listed in No. [-] Middle School!" Xu Linlin kicked the milk tea box at her feet and said angrily.

"Then go back and discuss it with your uncle and aunt, okay? Don't make such a fuss, they are all in a hurry..." Wang Yaning took out his mobile phone while talking.

"What about you?" Xu Linlin squinted at her, "I don't think you're in a hurry, do you?"

Wang Yaning called Li Yanyuan, and hearing Xu Linlin's mumbling, she couldn't help frowning, "How can I not be in a hurry, I..."

Halfway through the speech, Wang Yaning suddenly couldn't continue.She turned around and whispered, "You should call your parents first."

After Xu Linlin made such a fuss, she was scolded by her mother again after returning home.Seeing her mother lose her temper, Xu Linlin was frightened, and remembered what Wang Yaning said to her, and suddenly felt that she had been fighting against her mother for a long time, and even she herself had become as bossy and unreasonable as her mother.

But she obviously hates this.

Being scolded this time, she listened obediently, and then chose a suitable opportunity to talk to her mother.The mother and daughter hadn't sat and chatted peacefully like this for many years.

It was only then that Xu Linlin realized that the strong and domineering mother in her impression also had grievances and weaknesses that she didn't know about.

That was also the first time Xu Linlin realized that there would always be a side of this world she didn't understand.

In the end, when it came to applying for the exam, both mother and daughter gave way.Xu's mother promised her that she could apply to No. [-] Middle School in the city, but she was required to get in the top three in the first test after entering the school, otherwise she would be transferred to another school immediately.

"The top three in City No. 1 Middle School?" Xu Yanfeng was speechless, "Brother, although I have no idea about No.[-], it sounds really cool and dazzling."

"Are you okay?" Wang Yaning looked at Xu Linlin worriedly.

Xu Linlin proudly bit the milk tea straw and said, "Small, look at mine."

Now Xu Yanfeng looks at Xu Linlin more and more pleasing to the eye.If Xu Linlin hadn't made such a fuss that day, she wouldn't have been able to get close to Li Yanyuan.It's all right now, not only got the phone number, but also gave Li Yanyuan a sense of presence in front of Li Yanyuan.

After drinking the milk tea, Xu Yanfeng slipped away knowingly.Wang Yaning and Xu Linlin went to the library together.

"The manga that Xu Yanfeng gave me that day...I read it." Xu Linlin lowered her head and fiddled with "High School Mathematics" on the table, whispering.

"..." Wang Yaning was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.Originally, she didn't want Xu Linlin to see this kind of book that day, it was Xu Yanfeng...

But it's even more embarrassing not to speak.

"... Does it look good?" Wang Yaning asked in a low voice.

"It's okay." Xu Linlin replied in a softer voice.

"I have...another copy here. Do you want to read it?" Wang Yaning said with difficulty.

"Bring it here." Xu Linlin pretended to be indifferent and said.

Xu Linlin just loves to pretend.Seeing her pretending, Wang Yaning found it both funny and cute.

"Here you are." She took out the manga from her schoolbag, put it in front of Xu Linlin, and whispered to her, "Give me yours."

She was so close that Xu Linlin could almost feel the breath coming out of her mouth when she spoke.

"I'll give it to you!" Xu Linlin hid for a while, took out the comic from her schoolbag, and threw it at Wang Yaning.

So, the two of them devoted themselves to reading colored comics all morning in the library.

On the day Lu Qingming was discharged from the hospital, the weather was not very good.Black clouds gathered in the distant sky, and a heavy rain was probably brewing.

Lu Qingming changed into his own T-shirt and shorts, hummed a song, and packed everything neatly.Chi Muyun came back with the receipt, and found that she had almost packed it, so he quickly took the things in her hand.

"Yun, I'm fine!" Lu Qingming put his arms around Chi Muyun's slender waist, and said with a smile, "If you don't move, your bones will rust."

"It should be 'joint rust'." Chi Muyun couldn't help correcting her with a smile.

Lu Qingming thought for a while, put his chin on Chi Muyun's shoulder and smiled, "It's true. 'The joints are rusty' is much more fluent."

Chi Muyun let her hug him behind his back, lowered his head and pulled the zipper of his schoolbag, "The doctor said, you can't do strenuous exercise. Don't forget. You are not allowed to go out to play..."

"I see." Lu Qingming nodded obediently, his chin itching on Chi Muyun's shoulder.

"Stop making trouble..." Chi Muyun smiled and shrugged his shoulders, pushing Lu Qingming's chin up.

Lu Qingming smiled and pressed her shoulder down with his chin.

The two were playing around, when someone outside the door suddenly said, "Girl, you are just right, how can you be so noisy!"

Guiqin was carrying a shiny small bag, wearing a blue dress with a pair of wedge shoes, and walked in slowly, followed by a small pillar poking her brain.

"Sister, are you okay?" Xiao Zhuzi came in and said.

Lu Qingming opened his eyes wide.She has grown so big, she has never heard Xiao Zhuzi call her "sister".

"Sister-in-law, why did you come here? You didn't even tell me." Chi Muyun said with a smile, and stopped Xiao Zhuzi to say hello in embarrassment.

"I'm fine, it's just in time for the weekend, so I brought Zhuzi here, let's go have a meal together." Guiqin said, and turned to Lu Qingming, "Girl, these days sick people eat meals Are you tired?"

In fact, Lu Qingming didn't even eat a meal for a patient in the hospital. Aunt Wu prepared delicious food for her in different ways every day, and Chi Muyun took care of her breakfast and dinner with great care.

"Alright, okay." Lu Qingming said with his head down.She sat on the edge of the bed and quietly held Chi Muyun's hand.

Every time she sees Guiqin, facing Guiqin's scolding or pretending to care, she has the illusion that she has returned to her childhood. The fear and disgust of this woman have always been in her heart, and there is no way to erase it.

Even worse than my childhood fears.

Because when she was a child, she was much more numb than now.

It was Chi Muyun who made her softer and more agile.

Chi Muyun looked down at Lu Qingming.The slender girl shrunk herself into a small ball, tightly holding Chi Muyun's hand, as if she was afraid that she would leave.

Chi Muyun touched the girl's head with his other hand, and asked softly, "Let's go eat something delicious, okay?"

Lu Qingming nodded, his hair rubbing against Chi Muyun's palm.

She thought she shouldn't be so scared.Everything has passed, Chi Muyun will not abandon her, and will not leave her alone.

"Where's my brother, why didn't you come together?" Chi Muyun asked while driving.

Gui Qinyu in the back seat was angry, "He? He said he went to play cards with his poker buddies! I see, what about playing cards, he must have gone to some dirty place!"

"Mom, what unclean place?" Xiao Zhuzi asked curiously.

"Go, go, what are you asking nonsense?" Guiqin said impatiently.

Zhu Zi snorted unconvinced.

Lu Qingming wanted to eat something strong, so Chi Muyun found a Hunan restaurant recommended by a colleague.

Guiqin took a piece of fish and sent it to Lu Qingming's bowl, "Girl, I've lost weight these days, eat more, huh?"

Xiao Zhuzi was eating the chicken, and when he saw his mother serving food for the fool with a loving face, he couldn't help but burst out laughing with a "puchi".His mother gave him a hard look, and he quickly withdrew his smile.

"I don't want to eat fish." Seeing that the fish was about to fall into Lu Qingming's bowl, she suddenly raised her head and said.

Guiqin smiled, "Fish is nutritious, come quickly."

Lu Qingming stretched out his slender fingers, covered the bowl, and said expressionlessly, "I really don't want to eat it. Thank you... Auntie."
