She Can Also Be Gentle

Time is ticking forward. School is almost two weeks away.

Chi Nuan has always worked hard in her studies, but from the outside, she seems to have remained silent except for a bit more silent than before, and there seems to be no change. As for Gu Ningzi, everyone is even more surprised that she is absent as soon as school starts. After all, a RMB player. ——Until Chen Si brought a few words that he heard in the office of the English group.

"The teachers are saying that Gu Ningzi will not come!"

"what? What?"

"What can't you call it?"

"Why didn't she come? She changed school again?"

"..."

Xu Dan listened to it and asked Chi Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, do you know this?"

Chi Nuan was sorting out the Chinese homework she had received. She pretended not to hear what Xu Dan said, and left her seat to hand in the homework in the office.

He Liwen is preparing lessons. She is the head teacher of Class 6. She must have heard the news that Gu Ningzi will not come to the first high school earlier than the English teacher.

Chi Nuan put down his homework, He Liwen's eyes hesitated behind the lenses, she was still eager to say something, or she didn't say anything.

Chi Nuan turned back to the classroom.

The classroom was as noisy as ever, she used to become natural, and like every time before, she went to take care of Ning Zi's position first.

Gu Ningzi's chair was empty, but Zhou Damao's desk was filled with a mess of textbooks. If she didn't come, he immediately occupied her desk.

This situation was also very common last semester, but this time it was indescribably dazzling. Chi Nuan walked straight over and swept all the books that Zhou Damao occupied on Gu Ningzi's desk to his own side.

The book hit the book, and several books were pushed out and hit the ground with several "pops".

"..." Zhou Damao was stunned: "Squad leader, what are you doing?"

Chi Nuan: "Don't take her place."

Zhou Damao: "Why do I occupy this position if she is not here anymore? What's wrong with you?"

Chi Nuan: "Yes, it provokes me."

Noting the movement here, all the classmates looked at each other, Zhao Jingjing immediately pulled Chi Nuan back to her seat, Du Min picked up the book that Zhou Damao had dropped, and scolded him: "What are you doing? With such a cheap mouth, will you speak well?"

Zhou Damao endured it, and couldn't hold back: "Damn!...The squad leader is so fierce."

Chi Nuan sat down, Xu Dan wanted to say something, but seeing her heavy expression, he dared not say anything.

Late for self-study, Zhou Damao apologized for bringing a cup of hot milk tea to Chi Nuan.

"Blame me, I did the wrong thing first, the squad leader calmed down?... But the boss turned away, it's always good for me, right? I was at the same table for her, I was always diligent and didn't dare to offend, confessed She sent the saddle to the front and back, there is no credit and hard work..."

"Besides, if she doesn't come to our No. 1 Middle School, my heart is still empty. She doesn't cover me, and I feel insecure when walking in my school."

Chi Nuan raised his head and glanced at him.

"...All right," Zhou Damao scratched his head, "In short, I won't touch her desk, I won't touch the head office?"

Chi Nuan gave Xu Dan the milk tea.

On Saturday, Xue Wen came to the dormitory to pick them up and go out for dinner. This was something that was scheduled on New Year's Eve.

The location was arranged in a private restaurant, and the environment and flavor were among the best in Yuncheng. Xu Dan and the others were full of praise and said they would come next time.

Xue Wen listened, but just laughed.

After the meal, the five people walked along the moat and embankment behind the restaurant to digest food. Just after the Lantern Festival, the lanterns hanging on the river embankment have not been removed. Xu Dan stumbled and read the anagrams tied to the lantern. Du Min laughed and laughed that her language was too bad and her literacy was unclear. The two of them didn't agree, and they quarreled.

Chi Nuan turned around, and Xue Wen was smoking on the handrail.

Chi Nuan walked towards her, Xue Wen heard the approaching footsteps, and then saw Chi Nuan in a blink of an eye, conditioned to pinch cigarettes.

Who knew Chi Nuan asked her, "Can you give me one?"

Xue Wen: "..."

"No." Xue Wen curled his mouth, "It's better for us to guess the riddle."

Later, Xue Wen sent them back to school, Chi Nuan walked into the school gate with his roommates. She took the phone out of her bag and called Chi Qingchuan as usual. While waiting, Chi Nuan heard Xue Wen calling her name.

She turned her head.

Xue Wen said in the car, "Goodbye."

Chi Nuan waved to her, Xue Wen smiled, and then the car took her away.

It took a long time for Chi Qingchuan to answer the phone, and Chi Nuan could only hear the hoarse cry of the little phoenix tree. She was anxious: "What happened to the little phoenix tree?"

"I just washed him clothes. He rolled off the bed. Let me see... His forehead was red." Chi Qingchuan said, coaxing Xiao Wutong aloud.

Chi Nuan: "Is my sister-in-law not at home?"

Chi Qingchuan: "Yeah."

He didn't say where Yue Yun was going or what she was going to do. It was just an "um". Chi Nuan felt that it was not right, and he didn't know how to ask.

After returning to the dormitory with the roommates, they washed each other, and read the book until late at night, and they couldn't hold on any longer, so they went to bed.

The next morning, still sleeping in a daze, Xu Dan screamed in bed: "No way! Xue Wen really studied abroad!?"

Everyone's doze was dissipated by this endless sentence, Chi Nuan, like Du Min and Zhao Jingjing, took out the phone. In the chat of the five people, Ling pointed out that there was Xue Wen's message.

A picture of a boarding pass to a foreign country.

"I wanted to talk to you in person, but I felt too hypocritical, so I won't say goodbye to you. I'll see you later anyway."

"Good night."

"My friends."

Chi Nuan got up to brush his teeth, and the roommates were discussing Xue Wen's affairs amid the rushing of the water. Although I heard it vaguely as soon as the school started, I still sighed.

Xu Dan's voice didn't sound very clear: "Xue Wen let us know somehow, and the other one disappeared without saying a word. He called her a few days ago or turned off the phone. Yesterday, the number was cancelled....This , This is too unloved by classmates, right?"

Chi Nuan brushed her teeth constantly, washed her face, sat down at the desk and started to do the questions. After doing the questions for a whole morning, she plugged the earphone cable into the mobile phone and sat deep in the bed.

"Are you photographing me?"

"I'm photographing my serious girlfriend, are you?"

"I am."

Chi Nuan watched it over and over again, and finally she pressed pause, and the scene froze on Gu Ningzi's gentle smiling face.

She stretched her finger and gently touched the phone screen.

... Gu Ningzi, what are you doing now, how are you?

When will you come tomorrow?

I miss you, I miss you very much.

...

Time passed quietly, and it was the May Day holiday. Chi Nuan drove home from the school. The residents on the first floor cooked a very spicy dish. The choking spiciness wafted in the air, and Chi Nuan's tears never stopped after entering the doorway.

On the sixth floor, she hid in the door, feeling a little better.

Mr. Ji was holding the little phoenix tree. It was already dark outside. There was no light in the living room. The little phoenix tree fell asleep in Mr. Ji's arms.

"..." Chi Nuan put down her schoolbag and walked over: "Mr. Ji?"

Mr. Ji nodded, Chi Nuan shook away the blanket in the little phoenix tree bed, and Mr. Ji awkwardly put him in.

Little Wutong opened his eyes as soon as he touched the bed, and Mr. Ji was about to hug him again. Chi Nuan stopped him, bent down to the side of Xiao Wutong's cheek, pressed his palm, and patted him gently.

Xiao Wutong's eyes slowly closed again.

Chi Nuan didn't stand up until he fell asleep.

"Mr. Ji, why are you here? Where's my brother?" Chi Nuan wanted to pour Mr. Ji a glass of water. Mr. Ji took her and sat her down on the sofa.

Chi Nuan looked at him unclearly.

Mr. Ji pulled a chair and sat down opposite her: "Your brother is a little drunk and is sleeping in the room."

Chi Nuan got up and wanted to see Chi Qingchuan. Mr. Ji let her sit again: "Listen to me, your brother and Yue Yun are divorced."

The look in Chi Nuan's eyes gradually faded into the darkness because of these words.

"What happened the other day, he didn't know how to talk to you, he kept talking about it, fearing that you would be disappointed in him." Mr. Ji did not hesitate, "Nuan Nuan, you are not young anymore, I hope you can understand your brother's decision. ."

Chi Nuan said, "Sister-in-law... Doesn't she want Little Indus?"

Mr. Ji said: "The custody right is here in Qingchuan, and she has nothing to fight for."

Chi Nuan didn't ask any more.

Gu Ningzi, Xue Wen, it is Yue Yun now, and people keep leaving by her side. More or less, they are all people who have brought her warmth.

Soon after Mr. Ji left, Chi Qingchuan woke up. He also had to take care of the little parasol tree. He didn't dare to drink too much, but it was inevitable that he was dizzy. Leaning on the door to come out of the room, seeing the darkness outside, he touched the switch on the wall and turned on the light.

The little parasol is sleeping on the small bed. Chi Nuan pushed the small bed to the side of the sofa, and she lay on the sofa with her arms draped over the bed rails.

Chi Qingchuan walked to the sofa. He originally thought Chi Nuan was asleep, but when he approached, he found her eyes open. He lowered his head and asked her: "Nuan Nuan, Mr. Ji is gone?"

Chi Nuan: "I just left."

Chi Qingchuan: "Oh. I..."

Chi Nuan got up from the sofa, and the accumulated tears kept rolling in his eyes: "Brother, why do some people leave? In this world, apart from death, why are there births?"

Chi Qingchuan moved his lips, before making a sound, Chi Nuan Gu Zi continued: "That must be a reason, isn't it? Maybe it's involuntary, maybe there is a better choice? Or maybe the fate is too shallow. That's why I can't get to the white head.... But what will the little Wutong do? He is still so young..."

Chi Qingchuan's palm rested on the top of Chi Nuan's head, and he sighed heavily, "Don't worry. Brother can bring you up, and of course he can also bring up the little parasol tree.... Nuan Nuan, you have always been the pride of your brother. NS."

Chi Nuan hugged Chi Qingchuan's waist, and his clothes were wet with tears. She said, "Brother, I feel uncomfortable."

Chi Qingchuan rubbed her hair: "It will be fine."

Little Wutong’s recent biological clock was all messed up. He slept soundly until more than nine o'clock in the evening. He woke up at night and would not fall asleep again until after midnight.

Chi Nuan turned the phone down to the lowest pitch and watched Gu Ningzi's photos and videos repeatedly.

Tears fell down, she clicked on Gu Ningzi’s WeChat profile picture, and typed her message word by word:

"Gu Ningzi, give me candy."

The news is like sinking into the sea.

Chinuan didn't sleep well all night, and the little Wutong woke up as soon as the sky was light. I kicked my legs to practice my voice, chirped, and learned how to crawl on people and pat their faces.

Chi Nuan hugged him out and fed him milk. Seeing that the weather outside was good, he pushed the cart to take him out for a walk.

Walking slowly along the street, the little phoenix tree wearing a small hat looked around, kicking his calf, and there was a sound in his throat.

Chi Nuan said, "Little Wutong, aunt."

Little Indus: "Oh—"

There is a newly opened breakfast shop on the side of the road. Early in the morning, there is a long queue of customers, blocking the walking road. Chi Nuan pushed Xiao Wutong through the gap in the crowd and glanced curiously. It should be an internet celebrity shop.

Stopped by the bridge in the small park, Chi Nuan fed the little phoenix tree some water, one big and one small two blew the cool morning breeze for a while, the sun gradually rose, Chi Nuan pushed him home.

On the way back, I passed the early shop again, and there were fewer people in line. Chi Nuan said to Xiao Wutong, "How about we bring your father some breakfast back?"

Little Indus: "Oh—"

Aunt Lu had already arrived. Seeing Chi Nuan holding the little phoenix tree into the door, she immediately greeted him with a smile on his face and clapped his hands: "Well, our little phoenix tree, have you walked back?"

Xiao Wutong "chuckled" when she saw her, and seemed to like her very much.

Aunt Lu took away the little Wutong, Chi Nuan loosened her arms, and went to the dining table early. Chi Qingchuan was drinking porridge. After receiving the earlier Chi Nuan had brought, he casually asked her: "Did you not bring your phone out? Just called you, but you didn't answer it."

"Take it." Chi Nuan touched his pocket and felt empty.

At that moment, she seemed to pull her soul away from her body.

Chi Qingchuan looked at the breakfast brought by Chi Nuan: "Oh, this one, it seems that it takes a lot of time to queue to buy it?"

Chi Nuan turned around and ran out.

Walking along the side of the road and looking, Chi Nuan stopped and walked, almost completely blocking his sight with tears. She buried her head and squatted on the side of the road crying, crying, wiping her tears, stood up and continued searching.

In the morning, I searched for the route back and forth many, many times, including the Internet celebrity shop where I bought the breakfast. Chi Nuan repeatedly asked the salesman in the shop:

"Do you remember me? I just bought it here earlier. Did you leave the phone here?"

"It's old, white, maybe this big?"

"Press the light up and the screen saver is a picture of a very beautiful girl."

"Have you seen it?"

The revenue clerk shook his head.

Chi Nuan quit the shop, and people came and went. She walked, crying bitterly, "Gu Ningzi!"

...

A little girl with croissants looked at Chi Nuan timidly. Later, with the encouragement of her parents, she approached hesitantly and handed a lollipop to Chi Nuan.

"Sister, what kind of candy have you been talking about? I only have this, chocolate flavor, okay?"

Tears were raging, and Chi Nuan couldn't make a sound.
