In the afternoon of the next day, He Tianran suffered from a splitting headache after being hungover.
Although he racked his brains to recall how he got home last night, he found nothing.
The only thing he remembered was a dream he had.
He vaguely remembered that there was a girl taking care of him in his dream. She had short, eye-catching hair and took good care of him. But he seemed to have lost his limbs, living a life of opening his mouth for food and reaching for clothes.
The girl seemed to have said something deeply memorable to him, but He Tianran couldn't remember it anyway.
Yes, the memory is vivid, but I can’t recall it.
This is actually not a contradiction. Just like everything that happens in our dreams, we often forget everything the next day. When we wake up, even if we cannot remember the specific details, we can still feel whether the dream was a nightmare or a pleasant dream.
It’s the feeling, not the content, that sticks in this memory.
The boy thought this was important, but he couldn't tell why it was important.
He Tianran sat blankly on the bed for a while.
In the back of my mind, there could only be one girl with short hair who could appear in my dream.
More than half a year has passed, and "she" still appears in his dreams from time to time, but when I think of that beautiful face again, it doesn't seem to be as heartbreaking as before.
After clarifying the reality, time became a good medicine. Knowing that she and Li Wang were inextricably linked, the boy still had a little emotion, but so far, there were no major disturbances.
After all, they will all have a different future, right?
A slight burning sensation on his wrist brought He Tianran back to his senses. He took off the string of bodhi seeds and looked at them carefully, but he didn't see anything strange.
"Is everything just my illusion?"
He Tianran asked and answered himself. He had no clue. In the end, he had no choice but to attribute everything to the fact that he had been too focused on the art exam recently, but the burnt marks on his hands seemed to remind him of the weirdness in it. .
It was useless to think about something that he couldn't figure out. He Tianran stretched out and simply put the bracelet on the bedside table. Then he turned over and lay on the bed, hoping to fall asleep again.
Unexpectedly, something seemed to hit him on his chest. He reached out and touched it. It turned out to be the pocket watch given to her by Cao Aiqing.
It's hard to explain if this thing is crushed.
He Tianran looked at the dial with a smile on his face, then suddenly he rolled happily on the bed several times, and finally carefully put the pocket watch and bracelet together.
…
…
A spring snowfall at the end of February made everything glow with vitality.
Because He Tianran succeeded in the art exam, while others were busy preparing for the college entrance examination, he was actually at leisure.
Art candidates like them, after returning to school, are able to catch fish, and those who can take leave can ask for leave. The only ones who really stay in class seem to be those majors that pay more attention to college entrance examination results and students who failed the art exam and switched to cultural classes. .
Therefore, in comparison, people like He Tianran who have already half-stepped into college and are serious about returning to school are really in the minority.
The rankings of the Film Academy's fourth examination have been released a long time ago. After vigorous publicity by the head teachers and school leaders, everyone in Hong Kong and China now knows that the school has a top candidate in the Film Academy's Directing Department and Acting Department, and the two of them are the same. class.
That's right, Wen Liang also won first place in the female performance department.
For this reason, the head teacher Chen Mei praised the two in public and even signed their names in private. She looked proud wherever she went.
Teachers may not dare to say it openly, but young and restless students cannot control their imaginations, because these two people are really too well-known in the school. This can't help but remind people of their stage performance in September last year. Soon, the scandal between the two became very popular, and He Tianran was speechless after hearing the touching and painful love story of youth.
However, at this time, Wen Liang transferred school early and returned to Chongqing, her place of residence, because she had to take the college entrance examination there in June.
Seeing that the real owner was not around, the school's gossip became popular for a while, and he naturally dropped out of the "hot search rankings" in Hong Kong.
In March, the grass has grown, and the results of the first preliminary examination of Class 2, Grade 3 have come out. He Tianran scored a good score of 649. With this score, there is no problem at all if he wants to study in some key universities. , the old classmate beamed and praised He Tianran again. As an art student, it is rare for him to get such a score.
Cao Aiqing passed the 667 exam this time. Recently, she has been distracted. Even Bai Tingting asked her to go out to play and was not interested. She was addicted to studying, as if she had returned to her original appearance as a flower on the mountain.
He Tianran was very troubled. He knew it was not good to disturb Cao Aiqing now, but they had not spoken for nearly half a month. When they usually met, they would never chat for more than ten sentences. Occasionally they would send messages in private, and the girl would spend half a day. Just one reply.
Moreover, there are also missing emojis between the lines.
Having known the girl for a long time, he knew that emojis were the soul of Cao Aiqing's chat.
This kind of soulless chat caused He Tianran serious discomfort.
He Tianran: "Bodhisattva, would you like to have lunch together? I'll treat you."
During class, the boy casually said that if he usually paid for a meal, Cao Aiqing would not miss the opportunity to have a meal.
After sending this sentence, Cao Aiqing did not reply briefly to him until the end of class:
"No thanks."
Thanks?
He Tianran was offended by this polite word that was so repulsive to people thousands of miles away. He didn't know how he had offended Cao Aiqing. The girl didn't say anything. She suddenly seemed to be a different person. It was simply inexplicable!
He Tianran glanced at the squad leader who was sitting in front, reviewing quietly. He took a deep breath, put on a smile, and stood up.
"Bodhisattva, let's go have dinner together. You can't really ask me to bring you some incense and candles to worship you in two days, right?"
Cao Aiqing raised his head and smiled at him, saying:
"I'm really not hungry. My mother made me a lunch box. You, Xue Yong, Tingting and the others can go and eat."
Seeing the impeccable smile of the other party, He Tianran felt like he was hit with a soft nail. Doubts came to his lips and he couldn't say a single sentence.
She was obviously smiling, but it always made people feel distant.
"There is no intimacy in the smile. It is very cold. Ten points will be deducted."
He Tianran said half-truth and half-lie, jokingly.
Cao Aiqing was startled, withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "That's enough, this is not an exam."
The boy shrugged: "Okay, then I'll really leave. But if you don't act with us next time, be careful and your friendship will fail!"
This sentence was a real joke. It was originally just a witticism to adjust the atmosphere. Unexpectedly, Cao Aiqing asked instead:
"Then what is my total score with you, Mr. He?"
Now it was He Tianran's turn to be stunned. He didn't know that Cao Aiqing would really ask this.
Generally speaking, there are only two situations in which a joke can be taken seriously -
1. The joke went too far and the other party took it seriously.
2. The other person doesn’t like themselves, so they don’t like each other’s jokes.
But He Tianran really doesn't know which category Cao Aiqing belongs to now.
The girl's serious expression made He Tianran panic. He could only bite the bullet and replied haha: "There must be no upper limit, like a black card VIP, which may have unlimited overdrafts."
"Really?" Cao Aiqing returned to that "strange" smile: "I'm just teasing you. You go to eat. I really won't go today. Let's do it next time."
"Ahem...Okay, next time, next time."
He Tianran smiled twice, turned around and left angrily.
After Cao Aiqing left, the smile on her face gradually dissipated. She lowered her eyes and lay on the table listlessly.
The high-scoring test paper on the table was wrinkled by her pressure, but the girl didn't care at all.
The warm spring sun shone on her fair face as usual, giving her a soft glow.
"I really studied hard, but you still failed me, so what can I do..."
