Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 14
Ni Manhua was in good health when she was a student. Unlike when she was an adult, she would suffer from abdominal and chest pains whenever she got her period.

This time, Ni Manhua's stomach felt a little bloated and painful at first because he ate ice cream, but the pain only lasted for five minutes. After his stomach warmed up, the discomfort quickly passed.

Ni Manhua now has almost no painful physiological reactions except not wanting to move and being hungry.

During evening self-study, Ni Manhua secretly ate behind the bookshelf while the teacher wasn't paying attention, while her deskmate watched over her. Ni Manhua had not experienced this nervous and exciting feeling for a long time.It was just a can of the most common eight-treasure porridge on the market, and it tasted extremely delicious to Ni Manhua.

Halfway through the meal, the tablemate quietly handed over a piece of dried tofu: "Sister Man, do you want to eat? I have a bag here."

Ni Manhua took a look. It was spicy. It would be too presumptuous to eat both ice and spicy food in one day.But Ni Manhua was so greedy that he couldn't hold it back, so he took it and said thank you.

Putting down the eight-treasure porridge, Ni Manhua quietly tore open the package of dried tofu. But the moment the package was torn open, Ni Manhua's eyes suddenly went dark. Her hand shook, and the dried tofu fell to nowhere.

Ni Manhua's heart suddenly tightened when she was unprepared to fall into the darkness. She was actually a little scared that she would return to the original time and space when she opened her eyes again, and this short period of relaxation was just a beautiful dream.

Fortunately, the commotion and comments from the surrounding classmates gave her a sense of security. Several teachers ran out of the class in the corridor to check on the situation, and then called the Academic Affairs Office.

There was a power outage. It was just a temporary problem caused by the lights and air conditioners working too long. The teacher has contacted the Academic Affairs Office to have someone deal with it.

"Quiet!" The squad leader patted the table, and the voices around him paused for a few seconds, and then returned to the same tone as before.

In the darkness, everyone's voices were mixed together. Even if they broke the rules, they would not be caught. Everyone was talking, chattering, and racing against time to enjoy the hard-won freedom.

Ni Manhua breathed a sigh of relief. The dried tofu was gone. She had to throw the package into the garbage bag hanging on the side of the desk, then fumbled to pick up the half-left eight-treasure porridge on the table and continued eating.

As long as the world doesn't collapse, none of this is a big deal to her.

After a while, the teacher came in. He was holding a flashlight and a bag of candles in his other hand. The monitor distributed them.

"Quiet, everyone put the books on the desk back into the desk, and only keep the one you want to read. If the other books don't fit in the desk, put them on the floor first. Candles must drip a drop of oil on the desk before they can stand firmly. Don't start a fire." The teacher explained the precautions in a loud voice, and Ni Manhua had no choice but to put all the books on the table to block the teacher's sight back into the desk.

As the monitor distributed the candles one by one, the rows of desks were illuminated, and the candlelight flickered. The restless mood of the students calmed down a lot.

The teacher sat back on the podium, everyone quieted down and continued their self-study.

Ni Manhua drank the last mouthful of rice-treasure porridge and began to memorize mathematical formulas. He originally wanted to study hard in this rare and special atmosphere, but such an atmosphere quickly made Ni Manhua lose interest in learning.

Ni Manhua is tall, her seat is relatively far back, and she is in the first vertical row. If she tilts her head slightly, she can see most of the classroom.

Because there can't be too many books on the table, almost everyone can see clearly what they are doing, whether someone is whispering or passing notes.Ni Manhua regretted that she didn't bring a camera. She really wanted to take a picture of this scene. The warm light groups lined the young faces, and even the flow of time became gentle.

About half an hour later, Ni Manhua felt like going to the toilet. She went to the podium to ask for leave from the teacher, and walked cautiously toward the toilet while holding her own candle. As she approached the door of the toilet, someone called her from behind: "Ni Manhua?"

Ni Manhua turned his head in surprise and saw Lu Guanhai holding a small flashlight and shining on the ground under his feet: "It's really you, I'm afraid I made a mistake."

Ni Manhua found that he was a little embarrassed wherever he encountered the road viewing party recently. It couldn't be said to be a coincidence. You should come to the toilet too.

Ni Manhua hesitated for a moment, not thinking about how to answer. Lu Guanhai directly handed over the flashlight in his hand: "Take this in. It's too inconvenient to hold a candle."

"Thank you, then," Ni Manhua walked over and took the flashlight from his hand, asked him to hold the candle for him, and hurried toward the toilet.

Because she had to change into a clean sanitary napkin after sitting for a long time, Ni Manhua took a long time to enter the toilet. When she came out after using the toilet, she jogged back to Lu Guanhai, took the candle from his hand, and then handed him the flashlight. : "Okay, go ahead."

"Me? I don't go to the toilet." Lu Guanhai didn't pick up the flashlight in Ni Manhua's hand: "The teacher asked me to buy candles together, so I bought a flashlight just now. I just wanted to give it to you, so I saw you going here Bian left."

Ni Manhua suddenly felt that the flashlight in his hand was a little hot: "You bought it specially for me? Actually, you don't need it...the candle is enough."

"The flashlight doesn't flicker, so it doesn't hurt the eyes." Lu Guanhai looked at Ni Manhua seriously. There was a reflection of candlelight in his eyes, which looked like twinkling stars.

"Okay, thank you..." Ni Manhua rubbed his fingers on the flashlight, and the small plastic flashlight suddenly became very heavy: "Are you going back to the classroom? Let's go together."

Lu Guanhai nodded, but his eyes fell on Ni Manhua's chest, and he asked with some confusion: "Are you eating spicy strips during class?"

Ni Manhua looked down and saw a very conspicuous yellow oil stain on his white school uniform.

Ni Manhua was a little embarrassed: "Dried tofu, I accidentally got it."

Lu Guanhai moved his lips, uttered half a syllable and then stopped. He continued to walk a few steps before saying in a lower voice: "You are not feeling well, so you should eat less spicy food."

Ni Manhua didn't expect that Lu Guanhai would remind her of this kind of thing. After all, Lu Guanhai at this age was just a child in her eyes. Ni Manhua looked at Lu Guanhai's expression and found it difficult to say it out, but she thought of herself He looked uncomfortable and thought he was really cute.

"Okay," Ni Manhua agreed with a smile: "I pay attention to my health, don't worry."

Walking to his class with Lu Guanhai, Ni Manhua said goodbye to him softly, but Lu Guanhai took out half a candle from his pocket and stuffed it into Ni Manhua's hand: "I'm just sitting in the classroom and messing around. give you."

Having just taken his flashlight, and now half a candle, Ni Manhua didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Guanhai's gourd.She took the candle, and the not-smooth touch made her pick it up and take a look. On the ordinary white candle, Lu Guanhai carved two vivid little figures with a utility knife.

Lu Guanhai has always had strong hands-on skills. He carefully traced the texture of the hair accessories on Ni Manhua's ponytail. Ni Manhua used a flashlight to shine on the two little figures, and he vaguely saw Lu Guanhai and himself in flesh and blood. Stand in front of yourself as if you were playing the memory clip.

At this moment, the light above his head turned on and a call came in. Ni Manhua suddenly raised his head and looked into Lu Guanhai's gentle eyes.Ni Manhua felt that her heartbeat had become a little irregular, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, which caused her breathing to become disordered.

Unable to stay here any longer, Ni Manhua said, "Thank you, let's go back to the classroom."

Afterwards, Ni Manhua returned the flashlight to Lu Guanhai, holding the candle in his hand. The sweat from his palms filled the marks carved by Lu Guanhai.

Returning to his seat, Ni Manhua immediately put the candle into his schoolbag. He was afraid of being seen by others. His deskmate cast a strange look: "Sister Man, what are you doing out there? Are your faces so red?"

"Is there any?" Ni Manhua subconsciously touched his face. It was indeed very hot.Ni Manhua said perfunctorily: "I can't stand it today without air conditioning. It's so hot. Did you see the piece of dried tofu I dropped?"

"I picked it up and threw it away for you. Do you still want to eat it? I'll give you another piece."

"Don't eat it. The more you eat the spicy food, the hotter it gets."
