For the next two weeks, Wang Ziling couldn't get through the phone, and no one answered his text messages. He and Lin Yan seemed to have lost all contact for a while.

Realizing that Wang Ziling knew nothing about him, his mood became more and more gloomy day by day.

If he hadn't learned from a female classmate's new computer department boyfriend that Lin Yan hadn't gone to school, he probably couldn't help but go directly to Minghua to find someone.

But Lin Yan didn't contact him, and an unexpected person called.

"Jingle bell~"

The cell phone on the experiment table rang. Because he was afraid of missing Lin Yan's message, Wang Ziling never left his cell phone during this time, even when doing experiments.

He took off his mask and white gloves, picked up his mobile phone and went to the corridor outside.

"Hey."

"It's me. Ning Yuanzhen."

"..."

"Brother Wang Kai, how about we meet tonight?"

"No way."

"..." Ning Yuan was really choked by his cold tone, she said angrily, "Don't you want to know why I did those things?"

Wang Ziling: "I don't want to."

Ning Yuan really gritted his teeth: "..." You are cruel.

She had no choice but to lower her tone and said, "I'm going to fly to the United States tomorrow and I may never come back in this life. Before I leave, I just want to find someone to listen to my past feelings. I don't know who to tell, Si Lai If you want to go, only you, brother Ziling, are the most suitable, you can just listen to me without saying a word. Is that okay?"

"..."

"Please, please, just take up a little bit of your time." Ning Yuan begged sincerely.

"..." After a long silence, Wang Ziling finally compromised: "Tell me the time and address."

As soon as Ning Yuanzhen heard that he agreed, he quickly said excitedly: "Eight o'clock in the evening, the address is the coffee shop where we met last time."

@~

In Weiyang Time Cafe, a man and a woman sit face to face in a quiet corner.

Ning Yuanzhen used a small spoon to stir the cup once and for all, as if she was recalling something, she looked a little dazed.

Wang Ziling didn't hurry to rush her, but just stared at the leaf-shaped coffee latte art on the cup noodles.

I don't know how long it took before Ning Yuanzhen quietly opened his mouth to tell a story about a childhood sweetheart.

Since the age of five, Ning Yuanzhen has known Wu Qijun.

Because of a problem with the relationship between her parents, her mother took her away from her father and left home, and lived alone in a strange and simple town.

At that time, she had just moved to the small town where Wu Qijun lived. For the little princess who grew up in a big city, she couldn't adapt to everything.

no nanny,

no big house,

There is no exquisite and spacious kindergarten,

There aren't all kinds of pretty dresses.

Some are just naive little devils who are dirty, messy, blah, and have no common language at all.

It just sucks.

Although they want to be friends with her, she doesn't want to wear a beautiful princess dress to play house with them in the sand, it's boring!

After living in this small town for almost a year, little princess Ning Yuanzhen still hasn't made any good friends.

But I don't have any friends, I hate ghosts enough to have one.

It was Wu Qijun who was mistaken for a boy by himself throughout his childhood.

Wu Qijun was always dressed as a tomboy when he was a child, and he was famous for being mischievous in the town. He was not afraid of anything, just like a wild child, except for the white spots on his skin, he could not see any girlish features at all.

Ning Yuanzhen was followed by her when she first entered the kindergarten.Secretly hiding his eraser; soiling his beloved princess dress; throwing leaves in his hair; even throwing snowballs into his schoolbag and so on, the endless pranks made Ning Yuan really hate him to death during that time.

"When I grew up, I curiously asked Qi Jun why she always teased me when she was a child and made things difficult for me. Heh," Ning Yuanzhen chuckled, "I still remember her answer clearly."

"She said: I'm tired of playing with those brats around me, you are so beautiful and cute, if you don't tease me, who should tease me?"

"Probably from the day of the questioning, I have realized that I really like Qi Jun. Recalling the embarrassing incidents of being bullied when I was a child, I didn't feel annoyed at all. On the contrary, there was still a slight sweetness in my heart, because those are all It belongs to the memories shared by me and her. Unfortunately, in the end, I was the only one who was wishful thinking in this relationship from the beginning to the end..." Ning Yuanzhen stopped with a lonely expression when he said this, unable to recover for a long time.

After a while, she adjusted her mood and continued: "What should I say?"

Wang Ziling did not answer, nor did he need to answer.

Sure enough, in the next second, she heard her say clearly: "Oh, it's about Qi Jun's pranks that I hate to death. Fortunately, I was about to graduate from kindergarten at that time. I thought I could stay away from that annoying person from now on. I did. Unexpectedly, we were studying in the same elementary school again, even in the same class. This was a bolt from the blue for me on the first day of school. So, I resolutely skipped school the next day..."

Ning Yuanzhen, who came home from school on the first day, was crying and fussing with her mother. She had to change classes and schools, and even wanted to leave the small town and return to the city where she used to live.

Of course, these were ruthlessly rejected by Ning's mother.

There is only one good primary school in the town, where can I transfer to.As for her spoiled and indulgent daughter, Ning's mother has been very worried about how to change her, what's more, over the past year, her personality has become more willful and weird.

Mother Ning deeply felt that her daughter needed a friend, and Jun Jun, the only little girl who was naughty but willing to approach her daughter, should be a good breakthrough.

So after learning that her daughter skipped school and stayed alone in the small park, Mother Ning was furious and at the same time thought of a wonderful way to educate her daughter and promote her relationship with Junjun.

Ning Yuanzhen stayed in the park for a whole day with her small schoolbag in her arms.Afraid of getting lost, afraid that her mother would not find her, she only dared to wander in the familiar small park.

She thought that her mother would come to her soon and agree to all her demands, but the reality that she imagined was beautiful was cruel. From morning to afternoon, not to mention her mother, not even an adult came to her.

This is simply unscientific!

Just when Ning Yuan was really thirsty, hungry and unwilling to give up, an annoying ghost that she least wanted to see appeared.

Wherever I go, I hate ghosts, and I follow her like a follower without saying anything. I eat ice cream and walk around her to watch her jokes.

Ning Yuan really couldn't bear it anymore and didn't need to bear it any longer. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Wu Qijun handed her the half-licked ice cream and said, "Do you want to eat it?"

At that moment, the shameful little princess slapped the cone away, and said angrily, "Who wants to eat what you've eaten! It's so dirty!"

"If you don't eat it, don't eat it. Why are you so fierce?" Wu Qijun looked at the cone that fell on the ground with an innocent face. Although he felt a little pity in his heart, he bought it with the money from Aunt Ning anyway, so it was not a loss.Thinking of the task assigned by her aunt, she took out the hundred-yuan bills in her schoolbag, "Then I'll buy you whatever you want to eat, I have money."

"..." Ning Yuanzhen, who originally wanted to refuse, gave in after his stomach growled.A hero does not suffer from immediate losses!

That day, Wu Qijun took Ning Yuanzhen to eat KFC, bought a lot of snacks in the supermarket, and even went to the game hall to play various interesting games.

When it was almost dark, Wu Qijun took Ning Yuanzhen home.

"Mom..." Looking at her mother who was already waiting at the door, Ning Yuan called out a little embarrassed.

Mother Ning did not pursue her truancy, but was very curious about the little panda and little rabbit dolls in her arms. She asked, "Really, where did these dolls come from?"

As soon as Ning Yuan mentioned this, he got carried away with excitement: "Mom, Xiaojun caught this for me, Xiaojun, he is very good, he caught a lot from the claw machine, and there are several more in our schoolbag! "

"Oh~" Mother Ning suddenly realized, "So our Xiaojun is so powerful!" Even Xiaojun called, it seems that they have successfully made friends.

Wu Qijun next to him took out the remaining plush toys from his bag and handed them to Ning's mother: "Auntie, I'm going home and my mother will look for me if it's too late."

"Okay, let's go back quickly. Thank you Junjun today."

"Auntie, really, goodbye." She turned her head and waved as she walked.

"Goodbye, Junjun." Mother Ning poked her precious daughter as she said.

"Xiao... Goodbye, Jun." Ning Yuanzhen whispered coyly.

Sometimes for children, a pure friendship can be established in only a few hours.

From that day on, the relationship between the two of them has undergone earth-shaking changes. Although Ning Yuanzhen still occasionally dislikes Wu Qijun, at any rate, they can get along like normal classmates and friends.

Until one winter solstice, an accident happened that made their friendship infinitely sublimated.

In the snowy winter, most people in the small town have a common hobby, that is - ice fishing.

weekend.

Wu Qijun's parents, who are already very familiar with Ning's mother, invited them to go fishing on the frozen river. Ning's mother was very happy and took her precious daughter to go.

When the group arrived at the destination, many people had already drilled ice eyes on the snow-covered ice and were fishing.

Ning Yuanzhen was still a novelty at the beginning, but after a long time, he found it boring. After all, fishing is always a boring thing for children.

Seeing this, Ms. Wu gave a few instructions not to go too far and pay attention to safety, so she waved her hand and asked Xiaojun to take Zhenzhen to play.

There are reasons for her to be so relieved. One is that she has confidence in her tomboy and knows that dangerous places cannot be visited. The other is that the ice layer during this period is very thick, more than 10 centimeters, and it is almost impossible for the ice to crack and fall into the water. , and judging by the weight of an eight or nine-year-old child, this kind of thing is even less likely to happen.

Ning's mother also knew this, so she was not worried, and she also found that some people had parked their cars on the ice, so she was even less worried.

However, there is no absolute in everything. It seems that there is only a one in ten thousand chance, but it really happened.

"Really, can you stop jumping around all the time." Wu Qijun looked at the little girl bouncing around in front of him with trembling eyelids.

"Why?" Ning Yuan really didn't take it seriously, "It's so cold, jumping around will keep you warm."

Wu Qijun: "..."

"Xiaojun." Zhenzhen didn't know what to think of for fun, and suddenly called her excitedly, "I'm not going to jump, you come and chase me!" She ran out a long way as she said.

Wu Qijun: "..."

The wayward and proud little princess has really developed into a naivety now.

"Xiaojun!" Seeing that Wu Qijun didn't respond, she urged again, "Hurry up, come and chase me."

Wu Qijun rolled his eyes: "You can't outrun me, so I don't want to play with you. It's boring."

"Hmph." Miss Ning was upset, she scooped up the snow from the ice, kneaded it into a snowball and threw it on her head, making her look dazed.

"Hahahaha~" Seeing her snowflake-covered face, Ning Yuanzhen burst out laughing, throwing snowballs at random while running.

Wu Qijun couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed a ball of snow and chased after it, and soon there was a series of laughter like silver bells in the ice.

Before they knew it, the two had already moved away from the place where the adults gathered.

"Hey, I can't run anymore. I'm so tired." Ning Yuanzhen, who was sweating profusely, lay in big letters on the snow, panting, "It's really not cold at all now."

Wu Qijun lay down next to her in the same posture, and the two looked up at the sky, head to head.

The surroundings are peaceful and harmonious.

The warm sunshine covering her whole body made Wu Qijun a little drowsy, and for a while she really thought she had fallen asleep.

"Really?!" Suddenly, she suddenly sat up from the ground, and saw that there was nothing around her, really gone!She looked around nervously for her.

Soon, she found Ning Yuanzhen's small figure hundreds of meters away - close to the pier of the bridge.

"Don't! You really can't pass!" Mom said, the ice next to the bridge cannot be stepped on, it is dangerous!The flustered Wu Qijun ran towards her desperately and shouted.

Although the ice is very thick in most places in the middle of winter, the surrounding of the bridge pier absorbs heat due to the sun shining on the cement and other textures, and the bridge deck blocks the cold wind. The frost is thinner, and there are even cases where it cannot be frozen. If you get too close, accidents may happen if you are not careful.

"Huh?" Ning Yuanzhen, who was already standing by the bridge pier, faintly heard Xiaojun's voice, turned around and jumped up happily, beckoning back, "Xiaojun, Xiaojun, come and help me find a puppy, I just saw a puppy The white dog ran here and disappeared... ah——!"

"Really!!"

"Crack." There was a sound of glass breaking, and Ning Yuan fell down before finishing his words.

"Xiaojun—!" She panicked and screamed wildly in the icy river, "Help—hooo!" She wanted to hold on to the surrounding ice and climb out, but a fragile thin ice It split again.

"Really, don't! Don't use too much force!" Wu Qijun lay on the ground not far from Ning Yuanzhen, and quickly crawled towards her with hands and feet, and kept comforting her, "Really, don't be afraid that I am here Beside you, calm down and do as I say? Now, gently hold the ice surface with your hands and don’t struggle or use force, yes, just keep it like this and don’t move, wait for me to come over!”

"Xiao Jun woo..." Zhen Zhen looked at Xiao Jun who was crawling up to him while trembling in the ice pit.

"Don't be afraid when I'm here..." Wu Qijun stretched out a hand and grabbed her palm tightly.After making sure that she would not sink, he decisively broke the thin ice in front of Zhenzhen with his elbow, while pulling her to slowly crawl back.

When the surrounding ice was able to support his weight, Wu Qijun hurriedly sat up on his knees and said, "Quick, really, climb out now, let's work hard together!"

But the two tried several times without success.Firstly, Wu Qijun was too young and lacked strength, and secondly, Ning Yuanzhen was so stiff from the cold that he couldn't exert any strength at all, and it was even more difficult for the thick down jacket on his belt to absorb water.

"Exercise, really!" Seeing her suddenly stop, Wu Qijun shouted anxiously.

Ning Yuan really had a sad face: "Xiaojun, I... I have no strength."

"Do it even if you don't have the strength! If you go on like this, you will have no more strength. Really obedient, if you climb out now, no matter what you ask me to do in the future, I will promise you!"

"Really...really?"

"It's more real than real!"

Ning Yuanzhen burst out laughing when he heard "噗嗤", his heart was suddenly filled with strength: "Okay, what you said, you can't lie to me."

"No! I mean what I say." Wu Qijun hurriedly said, "I really count to three, let's work hard together! One, two, three!"

This time Ning Yuanzhen finally came out of the ice cave bit by bit. However, the house leak happened to be raining all night, and it seemed to be successful. The ice layer supporting Ning Yuanzhen was covered with countless spider webs like a "click" The cracks continued to spread outward.

"Ah!" She was instantly drained of all her strength by this phenomenon, shaking her head in horror, "I can't do it, Xiaojun, you go away! The ice is about to crack!"

The next second, Wu Qijun moved, and she jumped into the ice pit decisively and exploded with all her strength to push Zhenzhen out. With a crisp sound, Wu Qijun sank to the bottom of the water due to the reaction force and loss of support.

"Xiaojun—!" Ning Yuanzhen, who was kneeling next to him, screamed when he saw this scene breaking down.

"Wow~" Fortunately, soon, Wu Qijun floated out of the water, trembling all over, she said to Zhenzhen, "Quick... hurry up and find your lord, Zhenzhen."

"I'm leaving woooo... what are you going to do woohoo." Ning Yuan burst into tears.

"No... don't worry. You go and inform the adults, I'll wait for you to save me here! And I'm stronger than you, maybe I'll be able to climb out by myself after I recover. You go quickly."

"Woo~ I see." Ning Yuanzhen stood up while crying, "Xiaojun, if you wait for me, I will definitely find you!" As she said, she took off her wet coat and turned around ran up.

Although she was so cold and tired and wanted to fall asleep, there was an extremely strong belief in her heart that supported her to persevere.

Wu Qijun rested her hands on the ice layer and remained motionless. Originally, she just wanted to take a rest, but her eyelids began to get heavier and heavier...

……

"What happened later? How are you doing?" Seeing that Ning Yuanzhen hadn't spoken for a long time, Wang Ziling asked for the first time.

"Later..." Ning Yuanzhen wiped the corners of his eyes when he came back to his senses, and said softly, "Of course we were saved later. We stayed in the hospital for a whole week. We were lying on the same hospital bed together. She said, will I marry you when I grow up? Although I have already realized that Qi Jun is actually a girl like me, this does not prevent me from making this decision, and at that time Qi Jun clearly... agreed It's over." She paused feeling a little lost, "In any case, the days when we recuperated together were probably the happiest time in my life."

"Since then, we have been studying in the same class in the same school, elementary school, junior high school, and high school. Even after the college entrance examination, we have been admitted to the same university and the same major. I have always firmly believed that Qi Jun and I will always be together like this Let's go together, even if she doesn't like me, I don't care. But... because of your brother... because of an old-fashioned and ridiculous hero saving the beauty... my Qi Jun just fell in love." She said, holding her hands together uncontrollably. I burst into tears.

It was a chance encounter after graduating from the college entrance examination.
