Chapter 104: The Wind and Rain Came Again in My Dream (06)
Today is the first day of the new semester, Ouyang Yiweng originally planned to come to school early, but when she got up in the morning, her grandfather Ouyang's body was not feeling well, and she had to accompany her grandfather to see a doctor.
Because of the intravenous drip, Ouyang Yiweng accompanied her grandfather to the village clinic for several hours. Fortunately, the old man was not seriously ill and recovered after a few bottles of intravenous drip. She helped her grandfather back home and cooked dinner for him before rushing back to school. It wasn't very late when she returned to school, and she had just finished all the formalities at 2:15.
From today on, I officially became a member of the senior three army. There is a sense of "heroism", but after all, it's just after playing for a summer vacation, and the school didn't have any special requirements for today's courses, so most classmates went out to hang around, either wandering around, or surfing the internet, or gathering together with a few people to drink a few cups...
Anyway, there were only a few people in the classroom. Even if someone stayed in the classroom, they just chatted nonsense together. Ouyang Yiweng returned to the dormitory and tidied up her bed, then came to the classroom. Who would have thought that there were hardly anyone in the classroom? They made a lot of noise, and after flipping through books on their seats for a while, she slipped out of the classroom.
"Why hasn't Chen Haonan shown up yet? Could he still not be back on campus......" As she walked down the stairs, Ouyang Yiweng thought to herself and muttered softly, determined to go look for Chen Haonan first.
Ouyang Yiweng hummed a little tune as he walked with a bounce in his step, feeling somewhat elated. Who would have thought that just as he was walking out of the teaching building, he saw someone - Li Donglin - Chen Haonan's good friend and iron brother.
Although Ou Yang Yiweng had some contact with Li Donglin because of Chen Haonan, they didn't know each other well after all. She felt a bit awkward to go over and greet him abruptly. So she decided to avoid Li Donglin - she lowered her head to look at the ground, turned around and followed several tall boys who were passing by from behind.
As the saying goes: no coincidence, no book! At the moment when Ouyang Yiweng was about to turn around, Li Donglin happened to spot her. This guy is a straightforward and outspoken kid, with no miscellaneous thoughts or clichés in his mind, he saw Ouyang Yiweng and directly shouted out her name.
Li Donglin's voice immediately caught the attention of those around him, and many people stopped in their tracks, turning their heads - he was so embarrassed that his face turned bright red, and he smiled awkwardly several times.
Ouyang Yiweng's body stiffened as she clearly heard Li Donglin's voice. There was no way to escape, so she slowly turned around and smiled faintly at him.
Fortunately, other people's attention quickly shifted away. Li Donglin walked up to Ouyang Yiweng and smiled apologetically, saying: "I'm really sorry..."
"Nothing! I, I didn't see you just now..." Ouyang Yiweng couldn't help but tell a lie. She hadn't expected Li Donglin to have seen her, and even less expected him to loudly call out her name in public. However, his silly smile earlier was indeed quite comical, and Ouyang Yiweng couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh again.
Ouyang Yiweng's smile made Li Donglin, who had just calmed down a bit, feel embarrassed again, and his face turned red in an instant...
"Alright, alright, I'm not laughing anymore!" Yuwen's laughter finally stopped, and soon she asked Donglin Li, "By the way, have you seen Haonan?"
"Hao Nan? I was just about to talk to you about this..."
"What's going on?" Ouyang Yiweng hastily asked, because from Li Donglin's words, she vaguely sensed something.
"Do you know about Xiao Qiuming?" Li Donglin furrowed his brow, tilted his head to the side, recalling Chen Haonan's excited moment earlier, but he also clearly knew that Xiao Qiuming was the real "fuse".
"You're talking about Xiao Qiuying getting into Beijing University..." Ouyang Yiweng said softly.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm!" Li Donglin nodded slowly.
"This thing has spread all over, and there's even a notice posted at the school gate. How could I not know about it?!"
"It's this matter, just now Haonan was particularly excited about this thing, he kept shouting 'unbelievable', 'unbelievable'..." Li Donglin said quickly, gesturing continuously.
"What's going on here?" Ouyang Yiweng asked anxiously.
"It's like this," Li Donglin sighed deeply, "Just now, Haonan saw Xiao Qiuying's name on the big red announcement, and his mood became very strange. He kept shouting 'unbelievable' in his mouth, saying that the school was shameless, at first——"
"Where is Haonan now?" Ouyang Yiweng hastily interrupted Li Donglin's words, she couldn't calm down to listen to him finish the whole process.
"He just ran past me a moment ago, now...now I'm not even sure where he went..." Li Donglin said with some embarrassment, smiling awkwardly."
"I know!" Ouyang Yiweng said suddenly. Immediately, she ran away, leaving Li Donglin standing there, watching her distant figure.
This is one corner of the park...
This corner is relatively remote and usually has few visitors. However, Chen Haonan has a special affection for this place. Whenever he encounters something unpleasant, he would run here alone, sit quietly on the stone, blow the wind, sigh a few times, and all the unpleasant things would disappear with the wind.
After saying goodbye to his good friend Li Donglin, Chen Haonan ran all the way to Youyuan. Entering Youyuan, he came straight to this corner.
After sitting on the stone for a while, Chen Haonan's heart slowly calmed down. Actually, there was nothing much to say, in the vast Yanshan S, only a handful of students could get into a top university every year. Now that Xiao Qiuming had gotten into Beijing R University, which was among the best of the best! Moreover, Xiao Qiuming had even skipped his third-year courses and still managed to get in, how could the leaders of S not seize this perfect opportunity to show off?
Chen Haonan is a relatively idealistic person, he sees the good and evil things in the world as clear-cut, what's good is good, what's bad is bad, no room for compromise. So, it's not surprising that he strongly condemns the school's behavior. Fortunately, after experiencing some setbacks, he has also become more discerning...
"Ah——" He let out a soft sigh, and Chen Haonan slowly stood up. With his eyes closed, he stood there for a while before preparing to head back to the teaching building. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he turned around, a familiar figure floated into his line of sight... "Yi'er, you... how did you come here?" Chen Haonan was stunned for a moment before finally speaking up, his voice seemingly trembling slightly.
Ouyang Yiweng didn't rush to speak, her eyes fixed on Chen Haonan's face as she slowly walked towards him. "Haonan, are you... okay?" One hand gently rested on his shoulder, Ouyang Yiweng softly asked. She stared intently into his eyes, as if only by doing so could she deeply sense the melancholy hidden deep within them.
"I'm fine..." Ouyang Yiweng's eyes were a bit strange, but as she approached, Chen Haonan clearly felt that her breath was very disordered. He hurriedly asked with concern, "What's wrong? Your face looks a bit off - are you not feeling well?"
"I'm fine, Haonan, you don't have to worry about me. It's just that I ran into your good friend Li Donglin earlier and he..." Ouyang Yiweng's voice gradually became softer and she trailed off without finishing her sentence.
"You're saying you met Donglin, and he told you what happened to me just now..." Chen Haonan understood Ouyang Yiweng's meaning, knowing she was worried about him, so as he spoke, he hurriedly smiled at her faint smile, trying to reassure her.
Ouyang Yiweng didn't rush to speak, she just nodded slowly twice, still looking at Chen Haonan's face, looking into his eyes.
"After calming down for a while, I'm fine now..." Chen Haonan slowly sat back down on the stone and let out a soft sigh, saying, "It's just that earlier was really infuriating. The school leaders are too inconsistent, they're too shameless! Think about it, when they expelled Xiao Qiuyue, they were so ruthless and didn't give her any face at all. But now? Alas, it's too shameful!"
"Hao Nan, why are you so angry?" Ouyang Yiweng sat down gently beside Chen Haonan and said in a soft voice, "So many things in society have changed for the worse, let alone our small Yan South S. Maybe, when the school expelled Xiao Qiuming, they really had their reasons... But on the other hand, that thing back then wasn't a bad thing either, or how could Xiao Qiuming have 'forced' out a Beijing R University?"
"Yi Er, you mean to say... that Xiao Qiu Ming is 'lucky in misfortune'?" Chen Hao Nan turned his head and looked at Ouyang Yi Wen's face.
Ouyang Yiweng smiled slightly, nodding her head and saying: "Maybe it's really like that! The things in this world are very wonderful, maybe this is a different arrangement by the heavens!"
"Perhaps it's really like that..."
"Don't 'maybe' anything," Ouyang Yiweng suddenly jumped up, she shook Chen Haonan's shoulder with her hand and smiled, "Anyway, Xiao Qiuming getting into Beijing University is a great thing, we'll get him to treat us to dinner later - but I'm hungry now, you're buying me dinner!"
"You know what, I'm actually hungry too! - Let's go, let's eat!" Chen Haonan jumped up with a "whoosh". Soon after, Ouyang Yiweng also stood up. Then, the two of them chatted and laughed as they walked out of the garden side by side...
