about love

Chapter 59
One day after school started, Zhou Shi ran into Xiao Qing while eating in the cafeteria, and couldn't help asking about Ning Fei's recent situation.Since the night of New Year's Eve, she hadn't seen him for many days, and whenever she thought about it, she felt a little uneasy.Xiaoqing looked at her in surprise, and said, "Senior sister, don't you know? Ning Fei has already dropped out of school." Now talking about it, her expression is still a little pale.

Zhou Shi was taken aback: "When did it happen?" Xiaoqing sighed: "Everyone didn't see him after New Year's Day, and then we heard that he had dropped out of school." Zhou Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he asked anxiously: " Why did he drop out? Has no one persuaded him?"

Xiaoqing shook her head: "Everyone called him, but he didn't answer the phone. The strange thing is that he didn't turn off the phone, and he always got through. I sent him a text message later, and it took a long time to reply. He said he had his own opinion, Let everyone not worry about it. There is nothing we can do about it. Alas, a generation of beautiful men who are rare in the art department just left like this—" After finishing speaking, he sighed and sighed endlessly.

Zhou Shi was turbulent in his heart: "What did your teacher say? Just let him drop out of school like this? Parents don't care, let him do whatever he wants!" Xiaoqing replied: "We also asked the teacher, and it is said that the dean agreed. I also heard that his father accompanied him to complete the withdrawal procedures. I don’t know how many girls shed tears when he left. Sister, you know him well. Do you know where he lives? We really want to see To see him."

Zhou Shi acted as if he hadn't heard of it, and left with a few perfunctory words.Standing on the road, I called Ning Fei. Fortunately, it was the same number as before. After a few rings, someone picked up.Zhou Shi hurriedly said, "Ning Fei? It's me, Zhou Shi, where are you now?"

It took him a while to speak: "Yes, I carry my mobile phone with me every day, just waiting for you to take the initiative to call me once. Fortunately, I waited." He sighed long, his tone seemed joyful, melancholy, It's lonely, it seems to be lonely... mixed together, people can't bear to hear it.

Zhou Shi was stunned on the spot, and apologized for a long time: "I'm sorry, I don't know." He said, "Why do you say sorry again? There is nothing to apologize for, and you don't owe me anything."

Zhou Shi timidly made a request: "Do you have time? I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to see you." In fact, she didn't know if it was a good idea to do this.But I always feel that it is necessary to talk about it. If it is because of her that he dropped out of school, it will really make her sleepless.

Ning Fei said: "I want to meet you too, but I can't muster up the courage." So he made an appointment to meet Zhou at the couple's shop in the past.Although Zhou Shi hesitated and felt a little inappropriate, he went anyway.

Zhou Shi arrived early, found a seat by the window and sat down, outside the window was snowflakes flying again, silently, following the cold wind, constantly flying, flying, flying... until it floated into the air, and then slowly fell, everywhere was a silvery white , making people who are full of worries even more emotional.This winter is so sweet and melancholy.

When Ning Fei arrived, he brought her a large bouquet of flowers, which aroused the curiosity and envy of the people around.Zhou Shi never expected that he would do this, he didn't answer it, he didn't answer it, he looked up at him speechlessly.The boy's actions are always unexpected.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't like flowers?" She had no choice but to bring them over: "No, I like them very much, thank you." His eyes flashed, and he said, "I hope seeing flowers can bring a good mood to your day. "Zhou Shi forced a smile, not knowing how to answer, so he could only say: "I heard that you dropped out of school, why?"This is really not what she wants to see.

Ning Fei shrugged nonchalantly: "Is that why you came to me today?" Zhou Shi scolded, "Ning Fei, you are not a child anymore, this is about your future, don't treat it like a game."

Ning Fei interrupted her: "Don't worry, I didn't act on my will. If I have a better choice, why should I stay in this school? There is still time for everything." Seeing him so calm and calm, Zhou Shi felt relieved. , let out a sigh of relief: "If that's the case, I'm very happy."

He turned his head and looked out of the window, and after a while, he said, "The reason why I came to this school is because of you. Since it makes you suffer, so do I. It's better to leave." These words left her speechless, I had no choice but to remind softly: "Ning Fei, I'm already married."

A look of pain flashed in his eyes, and he recovered immediately, "I know." His expression looked neither salty nor dull, but he stopped talking.He propped his hands on the table and leaned against the window. He was still that cold and melancholy young man, but his eyes were filled with vicissitudes of emotion.Time passed quietly, Zhou Shi saw that he had been silent, got up and wanted to leave.He uttered a sentence: "Because of this, I had no choice but to leave." Behind his calm and breezy expression, he did not know how many struggles and pains he had experienced, no one knew, and there was no way to know.

But now it seems to have passed, and it should be a cause for celebration.

He said: "I'm going to take the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, which is more suitable for me." He didn't take the exam in the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, but instead traveled thousands of miles to Hangzhou.The reasons are self-evident.

Zhou Shi finally calmed down, held his hand and smiled and said: "I am very happy with your decision. You shouldn't have succumbed to this unknown art school." in time.Start over, there will be a better start.

He didn't withdraw his hand, and didn't answer. Before he left, he asked, "Do you like the flowers I gave you?" Zhou Shi praised: "It's very beautiful, you really have a good eye. You are so young, I can't see that you can be so pleasing to others." !” She has no grievances and is completely relieved.The matter was resolved satisfactorily, which made her feel at ease, and the guilt and anxiety of the past few days were swept away.

Ning Fei smiled and said, "It's good if I like it. I'm very happy to make you happy. I finally did something for you." This young man is so dedicated and forbearing, hiding everything in the deepest part of his heart.To be able to do this at such an age is a miracle.His heart is like the sea, tolerant of everything.

Zhou Shi went back with flowers in his arms, found a bottle and stuck it up.When Wei Qing saw her, she said "Hey" and said, "Who sent the flowers?" She said with a smile, "I bought it myself." Wei Qing didn't believe it, put his hands on her neck, and said angrily, "Hurry up and tell the truth." Come on!"

Zhou Shi smiled and hid, telling him that Ning Fei gave it to him.When Wei Qing heard this, he became angry: "Why doesn't he give up? Did you tell him that you and I are married?" This boy, inserted between them, is like a ticking time bomb.

Zhou Shi told him exactly how the two of them met in the afternoon, and said: "I'm going to leave, why bother. What's wrong with sending flowers, I just like flowers." Wei Qing snorted: "Good walk, wonderful walk, Let me go, croak." The time bomb was finally undone, and the worries of the future were gone.Zhou Shi laughed, stood on tiptoe and kissed him, rubbed his face and said, "Oh, what are you talking about, why are you acting like a child." I can't imagine his majestic appearance sitting in the office.

Wei Qing fiddled with the flowers on the table: "Why put them on the table? Put them on the balcony. There is really no place to put them. You can throw them in the trash can."Zhou Shi hurriedly pulled him away: "This flower blooms so beautifully, and I didn't offend you, so don't throw it away!" Wei Qing hummed, and his face was sour for a long time.Zhou Shi clings to him and talks a lot of good things, and then he gradually gets better.The bad luck of the vase of flowers being destroyed has finally passed.

When she went to school the next day, she had just put down her things when a classmate yelled, "Zhou Shi, someone is looking for her!"She ran out curiously, and saw a young man in uniform asked, "Excuse me, is this Miss Zhou?" He handed her a large bouquet of flowers.

A large group of classmates gathered in the corridor and sent flowers to the door. This action was indeed eye-catching.Zhou Shi was stunned, and asked, "Who sent this?" He shook his head and said he didn't know, and was only responsible for sending flowers.Zhou Shi held it in his arms and flipped through it, but there was no card in it.Thinking of Wei Qing's unhappy appearance yesterday because of the flowers sent by others, he couldn't help but smile.How childish!Sending flowers requires such a big commotion.The heart is not sweet.

Everyone gathered around and asked in one go: "Zhou Shi, Zhou Shi, which admirer's flowers? It's so romantic to send them to the school!" Zhou Shi smiled and didn't answer.Someone said: "Hey, why didn't you leave a name? Zhou Shi, tell me, who gave it to you? You are married, and someone still sends flowers. I'm so envious of us!" Can't get out.

The power of the crowd is formidable.She had no choice but to surrender, and said with a smile: "Of course it was given by my husband."Everyone said: "Zhou Shi, you are married, and your husband even gave you flowers. You are so happy! Woohoo—we are going to get married too!" So everyone knew that the couple had a sweet relationship, as gluey as glue, and very loving.

Zhou Shi was in a very good mood on this day. He went home early, made a big table of delicious food, and obediently waited for her husband to come home.Wei Qing smelled the fragrance as soon as he entered the door, and asked with a smile, "What day is it today? Such a sumptuous dinner!" Zhou Shi kissed her head, and said with a smile, "Good day!" Wei Qing embraced her, "What a good thing! ? You won a prize?" Zhou Shi gave him a white look, and said coquettishly, "What do you think?"

Sitting down, Wei Qing saw the flowers placed in the middle of the table, so he said, "You haven't taken these flowers yet?" When will it be placed!Zhou Shi came in with the bowls and chopsticks: "Didn't you send this? Yesterday's was put in the study." Wei Qing was stunned: "When did I send it? Why don't I know?" Zhou Shi felt strange when he heard it , asked: "You didn't get someone to send me flowers today?" Wei Qing shook his head and said no.He has been busy so far in the morning, how can he expect to get flowers.

The faces of the two became serious.Zhou Shi said timidly: "Aren't you very angry yesterday? I thought you sent it back on purpose." Wei Qing shook his head, without even thinking about it, it was Ning Fei again.Zhou Shi hurriedly comforted him: "Okay, he has dropped out of school and is about to leave Beijing, don't be angry—"

Wei Qing also felt helpless, he and Zhou Shi were both married, and the child didn't care about it, he did his own way, which was really a headache.Zhou Shi rubbed against him and said, "I don't think he has any other intentions. When he sent flowers yesterday, he said that he hoped that I would be in a good mood when I received them, so that's why..." The two of them couldn't do anything about it. Thinking that he is about to leave, I may feel a little strange, so I can only give up.

But the second day, the third day... For the next week, she received a bouquet of flowers every day.It caused a sensation in the entire art department. Everyone thought it was sent by Wei Qing, and the matter was widely read. The story of the two of them became a good talk in the campus for a while, and it can be said that everyone knows, everyone knows.Zhou Shi suddenly became an idol-level figure admired by thousands of girls.

Only Zhou Shi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, with thorns on his back, looking at the younger brother who gave flowers every day, whether he would pick it up or not pick it up.Wei Qing looked at the flowers in her hand, his face darkened, and he snorted: "This kid is too arrogant! He doesn't take people seriously. I'll settle the score with him. He's still a student, and he doesn't spend money like that! Zhou Shi persuaded: "Forget it, forget it, how can you be serious with a child."

But to be honest, no woman can resist Ning Fei's behavior.What's more, he himself is an infatuated and handsome young man.

Wei Qing was annoyed: "You think he is a child, but in fact, his scheming is deeper than that of an adult! Has anyone provoked me like this? It's clear that you won't give me face!" Sending flowers to his wife, what is this man thinking!Isn't this a real slap in the face?Hateful!

Zhou Shi was short of breath, thought for a long time, bit his lips and said, "How about I talk to him? Tell him not to send flowers in the future, okay?" Wei Qing said no, he wanted to talk to him in person.It is a matter of a man's face, and it must not be ambiguous.This Ning Fei completely disregards other people's feelings and does what he wants to do. He is really a stubborn and stubborn child!
Wei Qing immediately called him and asked for a meeting, but his tone was very polite.Ning Fei said coldly, "I'm sorry, I want to talk to Zhou Shi." He really didn't pay attention to him.

Zhou Shi shrugged and answered the phone: "Ning Fei, I have something to tell you—" Ning Fei paused and sighed: "I know what you want to say, but, okay. I can choose the time and place ?” She only agreed.Looking at the sullen Wei Qing, Zhou Shi grabbed his hand and said seriously: "Wei Qing, since I'm married to you, I have to marry a chicken as a chicken, and a dog as a dog. No matter how good other people are, it's not me. Yes. There is still a long way to go, and I will always follow you." She hoped that he would trust her instead of being so uneasy.

Wei Qing was moved when he heard it, rubbed her face and said, "I know, but I still worry. If you care too much, you will be afraid. Let me tell you a story: There was a couple who had a very good relationship, both of whom were highly educated. One of them has his own company, the woman opened a branded clothing store, and her child goes to elementary school abroad. The family is extremely happy. There is a young man in his twenties who has nothing but likes that woman. He stands outside the door every day to deliver Flowers, rain or shine, are also silent, no matter what others say, they are indifferent. At first, the woman teased the young man with her friends, saying that he wanted to eat swan meat, but after a whole year, she gave up the prosperous life, and divorced her husband."

Zhou Shi was startled when he heard that, and looked up at him in a daze.Wei Qing sighed: "This is the story around me. From the beginning to the end, I have witnessed it with my own eyes. Therefore, I would rather not be like this, which makes me especially frightened." Only then did Zhou Shi understand why he was so anxious and irritable these days. worry.

Zhou thought for a while and said: "The reason why they divorced was because their married life was not as happy as it appeared on the surface, and it was also because their will was not strong enough. If the relationship is really deep, no matter how others destroy it, they will destroy it." No way. Flies don’t bite seamless eggs, the key is to look at themselves.” Like a person who drinks water, he knows whether he is warm or not.Being noisy is not necessarily unhappy, and treating each other like a guest is not really harmonious and happy.

Wei Qing was silent and heaved a sigh of relief for a long time.Zhou Shi leaned against his chest, closed his eyes and said, "Wei Qing, I really hope we can grow old together. I can control myself, and I hope you don't let me down." Zhou Shi has always been a very determined person, Now that Wei Qing has been identified, he will remain determined.

Wei Qing kissed her hair: "Well, don't worry, we will grow old together." They have gone through so many people and things along the way, it is really not easy.So cherish each other and never give up.

Wei Qing assured her to go see Ning Fei alone.When Zhou Shi arrived at the box, he was surprised that there were many classmates he knew.Everyone greeted her warmly when they saw her: "Senior sister, you are here too!" After listening to her for a while, she realized that everyone was holding a farewell party for Ning Fei.Didn't expect him to leave so soon!

Most of the people who came were girls, and everyone brought gifts, and some had red eyes. It seemed that Ning Damei's charm was boundless.When he left, the girls in the art department might be sad for a while.Ning Fei was the last one to come, her eyes fixed on Zhou Shi who was sitting in the corner, she looked at her but didn't speak.Everyone dragged him to drink desperately, and when he was drunk, he solved a thousand worries.The breath of parting is extremely sad.

Everyone let go of their throats and sang loudly, one after another, "Friends" is a must-sing track, and the voices of young people are very contagious. They use their singing to commemorate those passing days and the good times.Zhou Shi looked at them and suddenly felt that he was not young anymore.She sang and yelled like this, as if it had been many years ago.

Being with someone younger than me is always a lot of emotion.

Ning Fei explained that he had to leave early tomorrow morning, and everyone dispersed early.A few girls hugged him and refused to leave, and he also stood there with a good temper and didn't push him away.Zhou was the last one to bid farewell. She stood outside the door, patted his head and said, "Have a good journey, and your studies are progressing." Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he grabbed her and pulled her in, closing the door behind him.

Soft music was flowing all over the floor, he stretched out his hand and made a gentlemanly gesture: "Miss, may I have the honor to ask you to dance?" Zhou smiled, and she put her hand in his palm: "Of course." There was nothing she could do, and she hoped to at least give him a good memory.

Zhou Shi raised his eyebrows: "I'm making great progress." Compared to the last time, his dancing skills are much more proficient, and his every move is especially personable, as if he came prepared.Ning Fei raised her head slightly, closed her eyes as if she was feeling something, as if she wanted to imprint this moment in her mind and never forget it.He really hoped to keep spinning like this without stopping, but no matter how long the song is, it will fall apart.

The two came out, speechless all the way, and walked to the street. Zhou Shi waved his hands and wanted to leave.Ning Fei grabbed her and ran to the intersection to buy a large bouquet of flowers, which were dotted with stars, even at night, still blooming lively.

Zhou was joking: "You have already sent too many flowers, you really shouldn't waste them like this. I have no place to put them." Ning Fei looked at her, and suddenly said, "If you want to send flowers in the future, you can't!" His tone was like that The pain is minimal.Depressed and ecstasy, the only thing is to say goodbye!
Zhou Shi was speechless for a long time, and said softly, "Let's go, I'll watch here." Ning Fei's lips trembled, he hesitated to speak, and seemed to say a thousand words, finally turned into a light sigh, turned around silently, and left. go.

Zhou Shi was melancholy on the street for a long time. The flower seller next to her saw her motionless and asked her what was wrong and if she was not feeling well.She shook her head hurriedly, accostingly asked: "Boss, what kind of flower is this?" Pointing to the flower in her hand.The boss said it was "forget-me-not".

Alas - forget-me-not, thinking of Ning Fei, she is so sad.

About a week later, someone sent a letter to Zhou Shi. There was no address on the envelope, only her name was written on it.I took it out and saw that there was only one poem on a piece of plain paper, with no beginning, no end, and no time.Wrote Yeats's "When You Are Old":
When you are old and gray and sleepy,

Sitting by the fireside tired, took down this book,

I read slowly, the eyes of those who chased my dreams back then,

That soft look and deep vignette.

How many people have loved the film of your youth,
Loved your beauty, with falsehood or truth,

Only one loves your pilgrim heart,
I love the traces of time on your mournful face.

By the grate you stooped,

Whispering, with a little sadness,
How love dies, how it climbs the hills,

How to hide your face among the stars.

One could tell it was Ning Fei's handwriting.This poem is a chant of hopeless love between the great poet Yeats and Maud Gonne, who fell in love with her at first sight in his best years.It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional, but the flowing water is ruthless.The most shocking thing is that Yeats will never forget Maud Gonne, who is married as a wife, and will never change his resolve.

Zhou Shi looked at the plain white envelope, the light blue handwriting, and mist in his eyes.She wandered alone in the deep street, for that young man who was already in a different place but still missed her.

All those who loved her and those she loved, she will remember in her heart.
