Section 8

  That day, the window was snowing heavily, and Luo Xiaoyu was the first to discover it. In the morning light, the lead-gray sky had those small snowflakes fluttering down to the ground, making one's heart feel warm.

  Hurry up and wake the other two. Kang Mi was extremely excited, wrapped in a quilt on the bed, rolling around, it's great that it's snowing.

  "It's not like you're some kind of powder, why are you so happy?" Shen Shuxian gave her a white eye.

  Three people put on their cotton-padded jackets, separated by a window, poured three cups of hot jasmine tea, rubbed their frozen red hands and each took out melon seeds and small pastries, eating them in a leisurely manner. It was still early, the cafeteria's breakfast must have been steaming hot, but it was too cold outside, so making something to eat in the dormitory wasn't bad either. On the fire tongs were two pancakes, corn pancakes sprinkled with sesame seeds, emitting a fragrant aroma, slowly becoming soft and fluffy, made by Shen Shuxian's mother.

  Kang Xiaobei wore a lot, like a rice dumpling. When taking selfies, she would smile foolishly at herself in the mirror. Shen Shuxian was wearing an ordinary cotton-padded jacket from last year and didn't buy any new ones this year, her cotton shoes were also old-fashioned.

  The exam has ended, and before the results come out, there are a few good days to rest. Although going out is generally not allowed, you can move around freely in school.

  I've eaten my fill, and I feel invigorated all over. Tiny beads of sweat cling to my back like little bugs, making the skin on my shoulder blades itch terribly. But because I'm wearing such thick clothes, I can't even scratch it myself - could you two help me out?

  Lu Xiaoyu's hand had just touched her back when Kang Miao let out a sharp cry: "I'm going to die, it's so cold!"

  Shen Shuxian suggested she go rub the corner of the table, this was a good idea, Kang Miao followed suit and rubbed against the corner of the desk with gusto, humming comfortably as she said, "Thanks Shuxian, I'll take you out to play today, Luo Xiaoyu is coming too."

  Lu Xiaoyu glanced at them and shook her head, "Sorry, I have a study date today."

  "What's there to learn?" Shen Shuxian asked while putting on her shoes and raising her head, "The exams are all over, what's the point of studying?"

  Luo Xiaoyu said, "It's Zhou Huijuan. Recently, she has been printing poetry and distributing it to us at the dispersal meeting. She thinks I have some talent in poetry and asked me to help her select."

  Shen Shuxian frowned, mentioning Zhou Huijuan made her think of the condescending look she gave herself, how did Luo Xiaowan get mixed up with her, probably trying to curry favor with Xiaowan again.

  Speaking of Luo Xiaoyu, she is also a descendant of a famous family. Her grandfather, Luo Zhenyu, was the founder of Nongxuebao and founded Dongfang Xueshe in the following year. He made significant achievements in collecting and studying oracle bones, compiling and publishing bronze inscriptions, and searching for and publishing ancient texts such as bamboo slips and stone inscriptions.

  She is a low-key person, and many people do not know about her prestigious family background. Her personality can be described as steady and calm, just like her appearance. In school, most of the students in the same dormitory become bosom friends with her.

  "Be careful what you say when you're with her." Kang MiMi pouted.

  Dean Zhang Xiaoping was indeed guarding the school gate, and with the upcoming holiday, he didn't want anything to happen to the students outside. However, knowing that young people love to have fun, they can do whatever they want within the campus, but don't go out and cause trouble. Participating in demonstrations and protests is generally not allowed, as it not only fails to solve problems but also causes trouble for the school administration. Several schools were even shut down due to student protests.

  It's okay for a few of you to go out together, as long as you don't stay out too late and come back too late.

  Kang Weiwei and Shen Shuxian were inseparable, while Zhang Xiaoping was nonchalant. As she knitted a sweater, she looked up and asked, "Where are you going?"

  Kang said, "There's no class today, let's go buy some snacks and come back to eat. Do you want roasted sweet potatoes, sir?"

  Zhang Xiaoping smiled and said, "Two greedy cats, go on, don't be too late, it's chaotic outside."

  The two of them ran out the door as if they had just been pardoned, and the air was indeed exceptionally fresh. At first, they still held onto their umbrellas, but later on, they simply put away their oil-paper umbrellas and ran in the snowy ground, exhaling white mist from their mouths. The two of them chased each other, with Kang Mi grabbing a handful of snow from the ground and throwing it at Shen Shuxian, hitting her right on the neck, which suddenly felt icy cold. Shen Shuxian also came chasing after, throwing a snowball, and as they ran, they warmed up again.

  Rushing onto the street, Shen Shuxian asked, "You said Mr. is really that punctual?"

  "Of course, he's the one who listens to me the most." Kang YuYu smugly raised her cute nose, "I wrote on a note, on the day of the first snowfall this winter, please come to Hong Rui Xing noodle restaurant to have lunch with us."

  There were a lot of people at the noodle shop, probably because of the cold weather. As expected, I saw Ning Xingguo waiting patiently in a corner, and Shen Shuxian also came with him, giving me a strange feeling.

  Three people ordered food together, in addition to noodles, they also had small steamed buns with thin skin, which were slightly hot when put into the mouth and incredibly comfortable and cozy when swallowed.

  Ning Xingguo slipped a pair of chopsticks to Kang Mi, Shen Shuxian just lowered her head and ate, glancing at her own thick black velvet face cotton shoes, unable to express the awkwardness, why was she so shabby, why was she so ugly, why did she hesitate when facing Ning Xingguo, who arrived first, the seat belonged to whoever.

  The meal was eaten in silence, Ning Xingguo also considered that Shen Shuxian was present, and some words were swallowed back to the mouth, and only exchanged eyes with Kang Miao.

  Shen Shuxian was both angry and helpless, her head suddenly throbbing with pain, her body feeling dizzy and heavy, unsure if it was because she hadn't covered herself well with the quilt last night. She had no choice but to give up on spending time with Ning Xingguo, gritting her teeth as she endured, "You two eat slowly, I'll head back to school first, probably my headache is acting up again."

  Kang Weiwei thought to herself, "Shen Shuxian is indeed my good friend, she's really considerate. In the future when I get married, I'll have to invite her to sit in the seat of honor, and when I have kids, I'll have to acknowledge her as their godmother."

  It's still far from what I thought.

  Ning Xingguo anxiously asked, "Shall I accompany you to the pharmacy next door to grab some Chinese medicine?"

  Shen Shuxian shook her head, "It's okay, I'll go back by myself. You guys take the umbrella, I'm leaving. Today, let Kang Mi invite us out for a meal, and this morning I gave her a prescription to cure her illness."

  Ning Xingguo looked puzzled, Kang Miao burst out laughing, "Yes, thanks to you, otherwise my illness would have acted up again, and this table would have been ruined."

  Shen Shuxian forced a smile and got up to put the stool back in its original place, then disappeared into the snowy wind.

  Ning Xingguo saw that thin shadow and suddenly felt a tug in his heart, muttering to himself, "I hope she's alright."

  Kang Yuanyuan was slurping the noodles in her bowl, "It's nothing, she often gets headaches and can't sleep well. She said herself that she was a premature baby, born before full term from her mother's belly. So now she often gets sick."

  "Oh." Ning Xingguo finally put his mind at ease, poor kid.

  "Sir, are you really going to go to war? Can't it wait until after the new year? I have something to discuss with you." Kang Mi's face suddenly turned bright red.

  Ning Xingguo smiled and said, "Why?"

  "Because I'll be graduating next year, I can follow you." Kang Mi looked up at Ning Xingguo, his broad shoulders making her want to lean against him and take a nap, it must be very warm.

  "No, time does not wait for me."

  "But it's also not the time for saving the country and people."

  Ning Xingguo suddenly understood what she meant, she wanted to marry herself.

  These days together, Ning Xingguo also considered Kang Qianqian's problem. Her kiss was lingering and sweet, her body was full of spring, but the bottom line, Ning Xingguo always grasped it tightly. After all, she is a student, but he is a soldier, how can he be bound by these personal feelings? Looking at her expectant face, he couldn't bear to refuse, anyway, everything will follow the destiny.

  "Where shall we go next?" Ning Xing changed the subject.

  Kang MiMi held one end of the chopsticks against her chin, deep in thought. Suddenly, she slapped the table and said, "I know a great place."

  There's a monkey at home: Another new ID sitting on the sofa, I secretly thought, are there many new readers? Hug hug, but I think your ID is either your kid or boyfriend, that's so naughty.

  Taurusnana518: Thank you for your support, this story is a bit more traditional and subtle than my previous ones, but just wait and see what's coming next, be patient.

  The little fox with a gentle gaze, rose without thorns, and gazing up at the starry sky: "We're all old friends now, let's warm up together."

  Cat Street Princess: Your phone is pretty good, can use it to reply.

  Blood Dark Spirit: When you roast sweet potatoes, you can add some cheese to make it taste better, but the sweet potato should be cut in half.

  Your signed new book is coming soon, of course others will also have. A total of 5 books are given to you, send them to the friends on Tieba.

  Go to work and watch updates, beware of the boss's eyes.

  I love it!! My down jacket is a style that my sister discarded last year.

  When does summer start?: I hope summer starts soon, it's really cold in Sichuan.

  I won't reply to other friends one by one, let's just give a big hug altogether.
