Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 36 A life without solutions

Time soon came to 2012, and in a blink of an eye, they were all one year older.

2012 was a very important year for Ni Manhua in the past. Although in this time and space, except for the occasional fight with Zhan Ping in class, the rest of the time she is used to being alone.

In the second half of 2012, Ni Manhua was promoted to senior high school. The school required all senior high school students to make up classes on weekends, and everyone became on the same page.

The heavy academic workload makes Ni Manhua incapable of thinking about other things. Cultural studies cannot be left behind, and more importantly, the art exam at the end of the year.Ni Manhua was about to pack her things and go to the training institution for closed training. The tasks that had to be completed one after another made her a little breathless.

As for Lu Guanhai, they really followed their agreement and became friends.Senior high school students don't have much time to devote to friendship. Except for a few times when Ni Manhua can meet him face to face, he can only look at his name on the red list when passing by the bulletin board at school.

Lu Guanhai's life was indeed easier and smoother without her bothering him. In the past, Lu Guanhai's grades had always been among the top five in his age group, but in recent mock tests, he had always been ranked first.

His name was hanging high on the red list, and Ni Manhua had to look up every time.

On the way back from school, Lu Guanhai handed a thick notebook to Ni Manhua: "Here are the important contents of mathematics and English, you can take a look if you have time."

"Thank you. I'll make a copy and keep the notebook and return it to you. You still need it." Ni Manhua was very grateful to Lu Guanhai. He could still think of himself when he was so busy.

Lu Guanhai smiled: "Just watch it first. I heard from Zhan Ping that you will go to a training institution next month. Just pay me back then."

The driver braked suddenly, and Ni Manhua's body jumped forward due to inertia. Fortunately, Lu Guanhai held her shoulders in time and pressed her firmly into the seat, but the notebook in Ni Manhua's hand fell off. hand.

They were sitting in the last row of the bus. After the bus stopped, Ni Manhua hurriedly ran down and picked up the notebook that had been rolled several times. He found that the notebook had been opened when it fell, and the white pages inside were stained. Several mud spots.

It had rained in the morning and there was water in the car. Ni Manhua was a little embarrassed when the clean notebook turned out like this just after being handed to her.

Ni Manhua took out a napkin from his bag and carefully rubbed the mud spots: "I'm sorry, why don't I copy it to you again, but I can't read a few lines clearly."

"It's my fault. I should have given it to you after I got off the car. You should learn the other content first. I will just rewrite the dirty content on the note and insert it into it when the time comes."

Lu Guanhai wasn't angry at all, on the contrary, it was funny to see Ni Manhua nervous about such a trivial matter.

"Get off the car soon, put it away first."

After the rain, there were water stains everywhere, both in the car and outside. The gap between the bus stop and the platform happened to be where the drainage outlet was.Lu Guanhai got off the bus first. He was tall and had long legs. He stepped onto the platform with a slight step. Then he turned around and stretched out his hand towards Ni Manhua. Ni Manhua hesitated for a while and grabbed it through his school uniform. Lu Guanhai's wrist also jumped over with force.

When they walked forward to the intersection, they should go their separate ways. Because the notebook was in the schoolbag, it seemed to be a little heavier than usual.

Ni Manhua looked at Lu Guanhai and asked hesitantly: "Are you still studying in the library on Saturday?"

This question was not a smart one. She used to know that Lu Guanhai studied in the library every Saturday because she went with him. Now that she doesn't go, she doesn't know where she got the news.

Fortunately, Lu Guanhai didn't care: "What's wrong?"

"Just asking, my home has been renovated recently and it's noisy. I'm wondering if I can get a seat there on Saturday. If there are too many people, forget it."

"If there's a seat available, if you want to go on Saturday, I'll take it for you. I get up early."

"Okay, see you on Saturday."

Ni Manhua said goodbye to Lu Guanhai at the intersection. Looking at Lu Guanhai's back, a huge sense of shame rose in his heart.Ni Manhua tugged on the strap of her schoolbag tightly, feeling that she was so hateful.

It's what she wants to give up, and it's what she can't bear to part with.Recently, Ni Manhua was alone in front of her desk at night. Looking at the hazy night outside the window, she always felt that there was a hole in her heart that she couldn't fill.

Not to be friends?Good friends who study together are within the safe range.

At 08:30 on Saturday morning, Ni Manhua arrived at the library after breakfast. She said she wanted to study, so her mother felt relieved and asked the driver to take her there.

After all, it is the city library, and many nearby students came back to study on weekends. When Ni Manhua walked up to the second floor, the seats were almost full. He was found among the black heads.

Lu Guanhai occupied a seat for her, and Ni Manhua walked over and saw that he was almost finished with an exercise book.

"Come so early?"

"I woke up very early in the morning and left the door at 07:30. Have you had breakfast?"

Ni Manhua shook his head: "I don't have much appetite."

Lu Guanhai took out a small square bread and a mini box of sweet milk from his schoolbag: "Don't eat too much, just eat a little. It's not good to have an empty stomach all morning."

"Thank you..." Ni Manhua didn't know what to say. She was really not hungry, but Lu Guanhai had brought them all, so she couldn't refuse.

In order to be able to calm down and study, Ni Manhua ate very quickly, but he ate it in 5 minutes, and put the garbage in a plastic bag and put it in his schoolbag.When opening the exercises, Ni Manhua looked at Lu Guanhai's profile for a long time from the corner of his eye.

Lu Guanhai was very serious when he was studying, and he could hardly perceive the changes around him. As soon as he squeezed his fingers while holding the pen, his brows frowned slightly, and Ni Manhua knew that he was lost in thought.

The autumn sun was too lazy to get up late. Only then did a ray of light without temperature shine through the window. It happened to fall on Lu Guanhai’s right arm that was pressing the paper. The small ball on his sweater seemed to have come from the fairy grass. The elf that ran out.

Ni Manhua remembered that the first time she came to the library was when she was in her third year of high school, Lu Guanhai suggested that since she didn't take professional classes on Saturday morning, she might as well go to the library and work hard.

Ni Manhua didn't understand at first why he had such a big house, a quiet room, and why he was freezing in a library where even a seat had to be fought for.

At that time, Lu Guanhai would still joke about her: "You have to be self-conscious, of course we don't use it here. But you need an atmosphere to study, if so many people are studying quietly, you should be embarrassed to do it It’s something else.”

Perhaps Ni Manhua had been looking at Lu Guanhai for a little too long. He turned around and said, "What's wrong? Can't you tell the question?"

Ni Manhua nodded and pushed the exercise book towards Lu Guanhai.There were too many questions that she couldn't solve, and some even had no solution.

For example, how to avoid the changes of time, not to go through the difficulties and unwillingness to compromise faced by adults, but still have their youthful and beautiful youthful years.
