Chapter 32 "Forget it"
The attached middle school seems to be the same as before. The third floor of the high school, which was repainted the year they graduated, welcomed several batches of students and sent away several batches of students. After several seasons of wind and sun, the outer walls have faded from vermilion to a slightly lighter one. Crimson.
The flower shop is still open, but the owner has changed to a young man. From a distance, the face outline is somewhat similar to the original flower shop owner's wife.
He was carrying a small watering can, with a black apron tied around his waist, came out humming, raised his hand and sprayed twice on the flower wall like graffiti.
In the past two years, he actually occasionally passed by this place.
In the warm and warm late spring, in May when the proprietress said the roses bloom best, and in the cold early winter, I can't find any clear memories like this season.
The only thing I remember is the summer vacation when I graduated from high school and returned to school. When I passed by a flower shop, I went in and bought a pot of orange gemstone roses that was very similar to Mrs. Charlotte.
After buying it, I was surprised that there was no place to put it. I picked it up and down, and finally put it in the lecture theater. It was placed on the window sill where he often sat, and he could see the flower shop outside when he turned his head.
It is said that the potted flowers were well maintained by the teachers.
Since then, it seems that I have never passed by here at this time of year.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or... those "passing by" are left in the present.
Compared with a few years ago, the roses on this wall seem to be more prosperous. I don’t know if they have pulled new flower seedlings during the period. The entire wall is covered with flowers and leaves, and there are no gaps. Only when the wind blows, a little bit of the wall is faintly exposed. The color is gray and white, and the leaves are so green that they seem to be able to drip green ink.
Maybe as the proprietress said, it would be better to raise it for a few more seasons.
"Brother, I checked. You can temporarily park here for more than half an hour." The driver turned his head from the driver's seat, "Then I go down to smoke a cigarette? By the way, see if Brother Lin can help you."
Shen Huaijing responded and said, "Don't go too far."
The driver said "Okay" and got out of the car quickly.
The space in the nanny car is not too small, but compared with the outside, the distance between the two is compressed into a small aisle, so close that he doesn't have to make much effort, as long as he takes a step, he can walk into the other party's breath territory - even It was narrower than the elevator that day.
There were only him and Shen Huaijing left in the car.
Wen Nian originally felt that he should be a little cautious at this time, but maybe it was because he had stayed in this place for three years, and every fork in the road, every small stall, and every street lamp was too familiar, and familiar places always gave him a warm welcome. With a solid sense of security, there is only warmth in my heart that is so full that it is about to overflow.
He pointed to the stone door sign that said "The First Affiliated Middle School of Jiangcheng University", smiled, and said, "This is my alma mater."
Even he himself didn't expect that one day he would talk to Shen Huaijing in this situation about what he had been unable to say.
It seems that there is no deliberate concealment, but it seems that it is inappropriate and unnecessary at any time.
Just like what he once said to Shen Han, it doesn't seem to matter whether Shen Huaijing remembers it or not. There are some things that have been "brooding about" all the time, and one day he may be able to find a way out... such as now.
Except for the wrong school uniform, the thing that "worried" him the most was realized in a brand new way today - taking him to see roses.
At the same time, at the same evening.
Although this time, it seemed that Shen Huaijing brought him to see it.
Wen Nian lowered the car window a little: "Just the stone door sign in front, you—"
"I know." When Shen Huaijing said this, he didn't look at the stone door sign, but looked at him, "The No. [-] Middle School Affiliated to Jiangcheng University."
Wen Nian was stunned for a while.
At that moment, it seemed that he suddenly knew something.
Wen Nian lowered his head, pursed his lips and smiled lightly.
Maybe, the "very smart" person that Shen Huaijing said was really him.
The evening wind blows in through the window cracks with soft warmth. There is the sweet and greasy dessert smell of the sugar water shop, the fireworks smell of the street stalls, and the fresh and light rose fragrance. Everything is just right.
"It's still early, do you want to go down for a walk?"
Wen Nian looked up: "Go down?"
Shen Huaijing straightened the peaked cap on Wen Nian's head: "Just wear the hat and mask."
That way, it seemed that he was more afraid that others would recognize Wen Nian.
Wen Nian looked out the window, then at the person in front of him, very moved, but...
"Next time." Wen Nian said.
"Mr. Shen, you were photographed by students from our school when you were at the gate of Jiang University."
After finishing speaking, Wen Nian immediately added: "However, it was far away and the picture was not clear. I have already asked Jiayi to contact the people in the school's external relations department to remove it."
Shen Huaijing smiled: "When is the next time?"
Wen Nian paused.
When is the next time?
Don't even ask about being secretly photographed?
"Just...in a while." Wen Nian replied with some hesitation.
There was constant traffic on the right lane, and the lights flashed, making the interior of the carriage flickering. Shen Huaijing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Then next time."
The "sense of security" brought by familiar places seems to be collapsing, and Wen Nian seems to hear his own heartbeat getting stronger and stronger.
Half an hour later, at the temporary parking spot, Fu Lin came back with the driver.
He was carrying two bags, one with the logo of a 24-hour convenience store, and the other with the brand of a milk tea shop.
After getting in the car, Fu Lin threw a bottle of ice water to Shen Huaijing, and then handed the milk tea to Wen Nian.
"Oolong milk tea, bought iced, three-point sugar."
When Wen Nian took the milk tea, he was speechless for a moment, and after a long time, he said, "Thank you Brother Lin."
Fu Lin walked to the back seat: "Don't thank me, I want to thank you, Teacher Shen."
Wen Nian: "?"
Shen Huaijing saw him holding a cup of milk tea, motionless: "Did you just drink it at school?"
School……
Only then did Wen Nian remember what Zhou Jiayi said at the school gate.
It turned out to be heard.
"No." Wen Nian poked open the milk tea with a straw, took a sip, and raised his hand to push down the peaked cap to cover his reddened ears.
"Thank you, Teacher Shen."
The sky was completely dark.
When passing the fork, Wen Nian suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at Fu Lin: "Brother Lin, why have you been here for so long?"
Originally said 10 minutes, the driver also said to go to smoke a cigarette, but it took more than half an hour.
Fu Lin let out an "uh" in his heart, and made it up casually: "The milk tea shop has been lined up for a while."
"Are there so many people here after the holidays?" Wen Nian was a little puzzled. When he was studying in the past, there were only occasional queues here after school.
Fu Linyou said bitterly: "Well, it may be that the weather is too hot recently, so there are a lot of on-site orders and takeaways."
The driver also said: "Yes."
Wen Nian nodded.
When the car arrives at the villa, this cup of milk tea will also be finished.
Wen Nian put the empty milk tea back into the packaging bag. The moment he got off the car, he thought about it, turned around, and said, "Remember to have dinner."
Just in the car, Brother Lin said that this person ate one plane meal a day.
Shen Huaijing: "Understood."
Wen Nian nodded, and walked in with the suitcase.
After people walked into the villa, the car drove to the opposite side and parked in the underground parking lot.
"Brother, I'll go back first, and I'll come back tomorrow." The driver said.
Fu Lin: "Be careful on the road."
The driver changed back to his car and drove away from the villa.
Fu Lin came over from the back seat and sat beside Shen Huaijing: "Tell me, why did you drive the car to the school today for no reason?"
And let him go back in a few minutes.
During the "minutes" of half an hour, he went into the supermarket to buy water, went to the side to buy milk tea, smoked two cigarettes with Xiao Liu, watched Xiao Liu eat a bowl of Malatang, and watched him eat spicy food. While it was hot, I also teased the cat who was raised like a gas tank at the Mala Tang stall owner for a while.
However, in Wen Nian's mouth, "how come it took so long", in Shen Huaijing's mouth, it was only "a few minutes".
Shen Huaijing lowered the car window: "Just take a look."
Fu Lin: "..."
"You just watched it for half an hour?!" Fu Lin leaned on the back of the chair: "I always think that place looks familiar."
"Yes! Have we filmed there before? It's in the middle school."
Shen Huaijing just glanced at him.
There seems to be a thread connecting Fu Lin's mind at this moment.
"Did you meet Wen Nian when they were filming? It was in the attached middle school, so you took special care of him during the recording."
"During the first group stage, he was the person you said you met?"
The more Fu Lin thought about it, the clearer his mind became.
Because Mr. Shen's answer that day caused a lot of discussion on the Internet, and the popularity of "a good year" was too high, and the ambiguous trap on the public stage did not name names, leaving enough room for everyone's imagination.
I don't know which link was opened up, and it was passed on and passed on, but in the end it all became a kind of rhetoric.
Wen Nian (signboard of the Finance Department of Jiangcheng University) = very smart
Very smart = Shen Huaijing's unforgettable "encounter"
Wen Nian = Shen Huaijing's thoughts
At the beginning, he was still lamenting the amazing imagination of netizens, who knew it was really fucking established.
Fu Lin thought more and more deeply.
When he was filming that movie, he was basically there and didn't notice Wen Nian at all. Logically speaking, with Wen Nian's appearance, he shouldn't have no impression at all.
So when did the two of them meet?
Years of professionalism allowed Fu Lin to remain extremely calm at this moment. In the chaos, a memory suddenly flashed.
He remembered that a few days after the blueprint was completed, when the service team was sorting out Shen Huaijing's clothes, they said that there was an extra high school uniform in it. Recycling, I found a few candies, a pack of cold medicine, and a school badge with my name in the pocket of the school uniform. To be on the safe side, I sent a message to Shen Huaijing. Later, Shen Huaijing took the school uniform away.
At that time, he had almost forgotten what the name on the school badge was. He only remembered that surnames were not common.
Uncommon last name? !
Isn't Wen Nian's last name...
Fu Lin's face was numb: "Don't tell me, the school uniform you took wrong that day belonged to Wen Nian."
Shen Huaijing was noncommittal.
Fu Lin's expression suddenly cracked, and he looked at Shen Huaijing with the eyes of "are you human?": "You don't have thoughts at that time, do you???"
Shen Huaijing: "If I had thought about it back then, you wouldn't be seeing him now."
Fu Lin: "..."
Shen Huaijing returned the same look to Fu Lin: "He's only a sophomore in high school."
For a moment, Fu Lin felt that it was him who was "not human".
Fu Lin: "Didn't you just... Let me figure it out, oh yes, you were a junior when you were filming, so you were a round older than him."
Shen Huaijing took a sip of water: "Is this how your round is calculated?"
If Wen Nian hadn't shown up when Shen Huaijing accepted Er Xia's invitation, Fu Lin would have even wondered if this person knew Wen Nian had accepted the show.
"When the program team handed you Wen Nian's information, did you know it?" Fu Lin asked.
Shen Huaijing: "No."
The materials of the program group are all about basic information, not so detailed.
When he first saw the name "Wen Nian", he did doubt it, but he couldn't be sure until that day in the elevator, the man was wearing a mask...it was him.
The day I saw him happened to be the day I finished the filming.
It was true that I had no other thoughts at the time, but it was also true that I thought "see you next time".
The moment I left the lecture theater, I also thought about leaving a contact information, but I thought it was a critical stage in the third grade, and I was afraid of affecting the children, so forget it.
At that time, he also thought that he could really "forget it", but later raised a few roses for no reason.
I don’t know if it’s because the rose grows more and more like the wall on the flower shop outside the school, it seems that it can’t get out of that July evening.
Fortunately, it is another July.
He said he wanted to see the rose season, so he took him to see it.
this time.
next time.
