The continuous spring rain season has finally passed, and S City ushered in a long-lost sunny day. The sun is hanging high and exudes warmth in the blue sky.

With the arrival of sunny days, Xia Nan's cold was completely cured. She was in a particularly good mood without taking medicine. She smiled with her eyebrows and eyes every day. Ye Chu felt relieved when she saw her so happy.

"Anan! Good news! The 'New Star Cup' composition competition you participated in last time, you entered the provincial competition!" When Li Yue went to the office to submit his Chinese homework, the Chinese teacher told her the news and asked her to come back to tell Xia Nan. Li Yue shouted excitedly as soon as he entered the classroom door, and the whole class knew about it all at once.

Xia Nan looked at the envious eyes of others and felt a little embarrassed: "Many people should be entering the provincial competition."

Li Yue shook her head, happier than Xia Nan: "The Chinese teacher said you are the only one in the school. By the way, she also said that she would go to the provincial capital exam to participate in the provincial competition. On this Sunday, if you ask if you go, you have to go at your own expense and let your parents accompany you. The Chinese teacher asked you to discuss with your parents to reply to her."

Want to take the provincial capital exam?

Xia Nan was stunned for a moment. There were many competitions in spring. This "New Star Cup" competition was a competition she participated in half a month ago. In fact, she participated entirely out of interest. The prize money was not too much, nor did she have any benefits such as extra points in the college entrance examination. At that time, there were not many people who signed up for the school, so she just wanted to take it as an experience.

Xia Nan felt a little embarrassed when he entered by chance.

My mother is very concerned about gains and losses when doing things. She doesn't recommend participating in the college entrance examination. Unfortunately, she is the only one who entered the competition and no one is with her. I guess my mother will not let her participate in it.

Let's go home and ask first.

When she was in school the next day, Xia Nan looked obviously not very happy. Her mother really told her not to participate. Her mother also had a job on weekends and couldn't get away and couldn't accompany her. She was worried that she would just tell her not to go.

"If you really want to participate, you will participate in this competition in the future. There are opportunities for this kind of competition, and it is not bad for this time." This is what my mother said.

When Li Yue heard about it, she was very sorry for her: "It would be great if I had entered too. We could go together and take the opportunity to go to the provincial capital to have fun. Oh, I'm not doing well."

Li Yue also signed up at that time, but she didn't take it too seriously. She wrote a random essay and didn't enter.

Xia Nan forced a smile: "It's okay, I'll talk to the Chinese teacher."

Some things are said to be good this time, but if I miss this time, the following times are different from that time.

Xia Nan got up and planned to go to the office. She sat inside. If she went out, Ye Chu had to let him go. Ye Chu knew that she was going out, but she didn't move.

"Can you let me go? I'm going out." Xia Nan said again.

Ye Chu looked up at her: "Do you want to go?"

"Ah, I won't go..."

Ye Chu asked her word by word: "Do you want to go by yourself?"

Ye Chu looked at her intently, as if he could see through her heart.

Xia Nan was still hesitating, Ye Chu looked directly at her, his voice slightly hesitant: "If you want to go, I will accompany you."

This idea was too ridiculous. Xia Nan and Li Yue were both stunned. City S was remote and they had to take the train for a night to go to H, the provincial capital. They were all lonely men and widows, and they were all high school students. It seemed that it was not good for the two of them to travel together, and the adults would not agree. Moreover, Xia Nan felt embarrassed to let Ye Chu accompany him.

Ye Chu casually added: "I just happened to want to go to H City to do something, by the way."

Xia Nan thought for a while, and felt that he still couldn't do it, so he shook his head: "Forget it."

Ye Chu knew Xia Nan and the others' concerns, and his lips curled slightly: "If you want to go, go. Just tell your parents that Li Yue also wants to go to the provincial capital. If you two go together, your parents should give you a gift. Then I will wait for you in the car. Li Yue bought a ticket from City F, and then took the bus from City F, and just handed the rest to me."

This method sounds unexpectedly feasible.

City F is only half an hour away from City S where they are located, and there are many trains, making it very convenient to guide the train.

Li Yue first made his position: "I have no problem. I'll just take an hour on Saturday night, sit in City F, and then sit back. It's completely OK. For An Nan's hour, what's the point? An Nan, you bravely pursue your dreams and don't stop!"

Neither of these two people has a problem, and the rest is only for Xia Nan.

Xia Nan lowered her eyes and looked at her fingertips. Ye Chu said just now, asking her to ask herself.

Her heart told her that she was moved.

She wants to go, she is about to go to the third year of high school, and it is even more impossible to have time to participate in such competitions. While she still has time, she wants to do what she loves and want to experience what it feels like to participate in a competition in a strange provincial capital.

The chances in the future are the future. She just wants to seize the present and she also wants to live for herself once.

Xia Nan made up his mind and raised his head again, his almond eyes flashed with determination: "I'll go."

Li Yue happily applauded her and was happy for such a brave Xia Nan.

As if she had thought of something, Xia Nan looked at Ye Chu again. She hesitated a little and said softly: "But Ye Chu, don't bully me..."

She is still afraid of getting along with Ye Chu alone, and Ye Chu is always a hooligan and can’t be guarded against.

Ye Chu looked at Xia Nan's little white rabbit's appearance, with a smile on his eyes, and he raised his lips: "When did I disturb you from doing a serious business?"

Thinking of this, it is true that although Ye Chu looks unstable, he is extremely reliable at critical moments.

Xia Nan rested her heart, raised her face and smiled, "Then I will talk to the Chinese teacher now."

The day before leaving was Saturday.

At night, the train station was crowded and crowded. There were people in groups of three or three to talk, and there were people sitting on the seats in the waiting room playing with their mobile phones. Everyone carried a lot of luggage, and some people who didn't get a seat were sitting in their suitcases in the open space to rest in their luggage.

They drove until 7:30 pm, and there was still some time before driving. Li Yue and Xia Nan stood by the window chatting. Li Yue also carried a big schoolbag like a decent look and pretended to bring a lot of things.

Zhou Qing (Xia Nan's mother) asked Li Yue with a smile: "Didn't your parents come to see you off?"

Li Yue smiled and said, "No, they heard that I have friends, so they asked me to come with me. Auntie, I saw this and you realized that your skin is so good. I said, why is Xia Nan so beautiful? It turns out that it's up to you."

Zhou Qing's smile filled his eyes: "You kid, you are so sweet-mouthed. Nan Nan wants to participate in this competition this time. I have a job and can't accompany you. I'm still a little worried about the two girls. If she hadn't insisted on going, I wouldn't agree. Remember to keep in touch at any time. If there is anything, call quickly. Have you heard it? Nan Nan."

Li Yue deserves to be happy: "Don't worry, auntie."

Xia Nan also responded. She was obviously a little absent-minded today. She felt very sorry for lying to her parents like this.

It’s the first time I’ve told such a big lie that I’m not guilty. It’s definitely a lie.

Especially... Ye Chu was standing opposite him at this moment.

He wore a black sweatshirt and dressed up very casually. Most of the time, he would lower his head to play with his phone. Occasionally he would raise his head and look here lightly. When his eyes passed by them, he would stop on Zhou Qing for a few more seconds, as if he was looking at what kind of person her mother was.

Every time Xia Nan saw him looking here, he was very nervous, afraid of any unexpected situations and worried that the insult would be exposed.

Fortunately, he just glanced at him and lowered his head again, and had no intention of coming.

Li Yue noticed that Xia Nan's eyes kept glancing towards Ye Chu. While Zhou Qing was going to buy water, he approached Xia Nan and joked: "Oh, how many times have you seen Ye Chu in such a short while? I'll leave later. You two can be so tired of it."

Xia Nan quickly denied: "I'm not, I'm just..."

Seeing that Zhou Qing had already walked here, Xia Nan could only shut up and swallow half of his words back, and no longer mentioned this.

Zhou Qing walked over and touched Xia Nan's head first. She also noticed that something seemed wrong with Nan Nan today, as if she didn't dare to look at her. She glanced at her eyes, but refused to look at her. Zhou Qing thought Xia Nan was just too nervous and comforted her: "Nan Nan doesn't have to be nervous. This competition is just for fun. There is no pressure, it doesn't matter whether she wins the prize or not, ah."

Xia Nan nodded. The more her mother cared about her, the more she felt ashamed. She felt that she was very sorry for lying to her like this.

Li Yue saw Xia Nan lowering her head and continued with a smile: "Auntie, Nan Nan is so amazing. You don't have to worry about her. She is very good in Chinese. Her composition is often copied by composition sample essays and is read in various classes. The composition is written and quoted from classics. It is a famous talented woman in our class!"

"Is that true?" Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed into slits when she was praised by Li Yue: "Nan Nan, learn more from Li Yue. Look at how cheerful and lively Li Yue is. You usually say more and get along with others."

"kindness."

The three of them chatted for a while. When it was time to drive, they started checking tickets. When they entered the station, Ye Chu was behind them.

When Zhou Qing instructed Xia Nan to pay attention to all kinds of things that needed to be paid attention to, Xia Nan could feel that Ye Chu was looking at them blatantly, his eyes were always falling on them.

They were very close, and Xia Nan could even smell the familiar smell of tobacco on him.

Xia Nan felt even more nervous, afraid that Ye Chu would suddenly call Nan Nan or something like that at this moment.

Fortunately, he was still rational and still pretended to be a stranger to her.

After checking the ticket, Xia Nan waved her hand vigorously to her mother until she walked away and could no longer see her mother. Xia Nan felt relieved.

The train had arrived, and the rumbling sounded among the empty tracks. The conductors stood in front of the doors of each carriage to check tickets. Li Yue didn't have to load it when he saw it. He walked towards the front carriage with his schoolbag and smiled and said, "I bought a hard seat. In the front carriage, you and Ye Chu go to the sleeper carriage behind. I'll take the train back later."

After saying that, he still winked and teased Xia Nan: "Please cherish this time! I am using my life to lie for you!"

Li Yue finally waved her hand and ran away with humming a little song. Xia Nan couldn't hold her back even if she wanted to pull her. She originally wanted to stay in the sleeper car with Li Yue for a while, but she wanted to call Li Yue. Ye Chu, who was a stranger just now, suddenly grabbed her schoolbag strap from behind: "Where do you want to go?"

Xia Nan: "...I want to call her."

Ye Chu curled his lips: "She has a hard seat ticket, so she can't get into the hard sleeper car." He naturally helped Xia Nan unload her schoolbag, threw it on his shoulder, and casually carried it: "Let's go."

Xia Nan paused and followed obediently. The two of them watched the carriage number walking back row by row. On the way, when they remembered the scene in the waiting room, Ye Chu sneered a little, and he said coldly: "When I was at the station just now, I could only pretend to be strangers to you, but when I looked at you, I couldn't even say anything to you. This feeling is so fucking uncomfortable."

"When I looked at your mother, I was wondering, when will I be able to call my mother-in-law openly?"

"Huh? Nannan?"

Ye Chu's three consecutive questions asked Xia Nan to bite his lip. I don't know how to answer, but it happened to have arrived at their carriage at this moment. Xia Nan was so amnesty that he pointed forward, and his tone was much more relaxed: "Here! Look, carriage No. 10."

Ye Chu squinted his eyes and said nothing.

The arrival of this No. 10 car is really timely.
Chapter completed!
