Light Dance Jiajing

Chapter 11 Memories

Meng'er was stunned for a moment. The man disappeared in the blink of an eye. She still had too many questions. How could her father be Yan Hao? Meng'er wanted to cry but had no tears. She felt like the sky had fallen. She walked out of the bamboo house like a wandering soul, and her mind kept shouting: It can't be him, it can't be him... The lover she had been thinking about for eight years suddenly became her father. How could she accept this? Unknowingly, she went around to a bamboo house at the back.

The furnishings of another small house at the back were equally simple, except that the desk was slightly larger. There were a few charcoal pencils placed horizontally on the desk. In addition, there was only a few scrolls in a porcelain bottle. Meng'er took out a scroll at random and spread it on the table. The whole painting came into view. It was the two bamboo houses. There was nothing unusual in the style of painting, but this painting... Meng'er's heart skipped a beat. People of this era liked to write and paint with brushes, and this small house scene outlined with charcoal pencils was clearly a sketch of later generations. So who painted this picture...

Mei'er couldn't help but pull out another scroll. The moment she unfolded it, she was completely petrified. There was a painting of a woman on it. The whole painting was still outlined with charcoal. The woman in the painting had long fluttering hair and a navy-collared dress that was blown up by the wind. Her long hair also fluttered in the wind. In the distance was a sea with a few seabirds circling not far away. The woman's eyes were full of smiles and she was very happy. Her appearance was exactly the same as her in her previous life.

Meng'er's face suddenly turned white, as if the blood had been drained away. Her head was buzzing as if there were countless noisy sounds. She began to tremble all over. She opened another picture. It was a long scroll with multiple scenes painted in sequence. A group of children were sitting in the classroom... The girl was concentrating on tutoring the boy, but the boy was distracted and secretly glancing at the girl... In front of the dilapidated house, the boy looked at the crying girl with excitement... They grew up slowly, walking hand in hand on the campus... A couple hugging each other in the sea breeze... Finally, there was the lonely back of the man in front of the bamboo house. Meng'er couldn't stop crying. The past scenes appeared in front of her again. Yan Hao, they were in the same time and space. For eight years, they were close to each other, but they seemed to be far away. She thought about him all the time, and he didn't forget her.

His thoughts drifted, as if he had returned to their time. When he was in the fourth grade, the school in the mountain village was closed and merged. Yan Hao and a dozen other children had to travel more than ten miles along the mountain road to go to the primary school in the county town. Yan Hao didn't like the county town, and he disliked the school there even more. In the new class, he felt inferior and lonely as never before. He didn't have decent stationery, no bright clothes, and his academic performance was ranked last. He felt that his teachers and classmates excluded him, and he became more and more withdrawn. He didn't have a single friend in the class. He hated studying and was always absent from classes. The teacher classified him as an incorrigible bad student and simply ignored him.

Zhou Xiaonan is the class monitor. Especially since she is the daughter of the county magistrate, she is the teacher's favorite in the class. Almost all the classmates are close to her. During a class meeting, the teacher proposed one-to-one and free pairing, with students with good grades helping those with poor grades. No one wanted to be in the same group with Yan Hao. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaonan stood up, and the two of them were divided into a group. Yan Hao, who had never looked at Zhou Xiaonan seriously, looked at her carefully for the first time. She always had a smile on her face, and her eyes looking at him were natural and clear. Yan Hao's heart could not help but be moved, so that no matter how many years passed, he still remembered her smile to him that day. Yan Hao did not expect that from then on their fate would be closely linked together.

Zhou Xiaonan is not only patient, but also very responsible. She often takes the initiative to find Yan Hao for extra lessons. Yan Hao is always silent or puts on a cold face that keeps people away, but Zhou Xiaonan is like an older sister. She always hears her patiently explaining the exercises. In fact, Yan Hao is one year older than her. Gradually, perhaps Yan Hao could no longer bear the feeling of being oppressed by a little girl, so he began to study hard and travel back and forth on the mountain road every day. He no longer kicked stones and caught grasshoppers idly, but held the textbook. At first, he relied on his stubbornness to force himself to study. Over time, he found that learning was not difficult. He never thought that he could experience fun from learning. His grades caught up in just one semester, and even the teacher was amazed. He has very contradictory emotions towards Zhou Xiaonan. He likes to see her smile, likes to see her expression of concentrated thinking, and enjoys her helpless frown towards him even more. He wants to get close to her, but resists it in his heart, so Yan Hao always has a cold face. Zhou Xiaonan has a cheerful personality and doesn't care about his coldness at all. She still treats him like other classmates.

Until Yan Hao's birthday, when he walked into the classroom, Zhou Xiaonan smiled and pulled him to the podium, where there were many stationery such as pencils and erasers. She told him that these were birthday gifts given to him by every classmate in the class. Zhou Xiaonan looked at him with smiling eyes, an expression of seeking favor. Yan Hao stared at Zhou Xiaonan, his face getting redder and redder. Suddenly he shook off Zhou Xiaonan's hand, turned around and ran out of the classroom. Zhou Xiaonan's smile froze on her face. She didn't understand. Was it wrong to give him a birthday present? Zhou Xiaonan never cared about his indifference, because although he looked cold, his eyes were not cold when he looked at her. Of course, this seemed to be only for her, but just now, the way he looked at her scared Zhou Xiaonan. She chased him out, but Yan Hao's shadow was gone.

The next day, Yan Hao did not come to class. Zhou Xiaonan felt very aggrieved. She went home and told her mother about it. Zhou's mother just smiled after hearing it. She told Zhou Xiaonan that Yan Hao was a child with great self-esteem. Her mother also told her that sometimes what you give to a person with kindness may not necessarily be what the other person wants, and it may hurt the other person's self-esteem.望的陷阱 , but she didn't quite understand. In the eyes of others, Yan Hao was an unsociable, eccentric, cold and annoying guy, but in Zhou Xiaonan's eyes, he was different. Compared with his peers, he was more introverted, and that kind of alienated calmness attracted her attention. It's just that Yan Hao always did everything in a twisted way, as if he would not be comfortable if others didn't hate him. Zhou Xiaonan knew that Yan Hao didn't hate her, but he always put on a sour face. She automatically blocked out Yan Hao's expression and always appeared by his side with a sunny smile. At that time, she was so simple and young that she didn't understand that this kind of appreciation and attention, and the feeling of being willing to be close to him naturally was love. Until this moment, Zhou Xiaonan realized that Yan Hao's indifference was actually due to his strong self-esteem. She became even more uneasy, and suddenly she was afraid that Yan Hao would never pay attention to her again. The following day, Zhou Xiaonan followed Yan Hao's classmates from the same village into the mountains in trepidation.

Yan Hao's home is more like a broken shed with leaks everywhere than a home. His father broke his leg while working in a coal mine in his early years and now can only lie on the kang. After giving birth to their little daughter, Yan Hao's mother could no longer bear the poverty and ran away from home. The burden of the family fell on Yan Hao's sister. Yan Hao's sister and younger sister did not go to school. His father only allowed Yan Hao to study because he thought it was useless for girls to study.

When Yan Hao saw Zhou Xiaonan, he was stunned for a moment, then turned and went into the house. Zhou Xiaonan gritted his teeth and followed him in. Yan Hao put the picked wild vegetables aside, wiped his hands, and continued to do his own thing.

"Yan Hao, I...that day...I wanted to help you...I didn't know you would be angry..." Seeing Yan Hao ignoring her, Zhou Xiaonan stammered for a long time, wanting to explain but not knowing what to say. Zhou Xiaonan twisted her fingers and lowered her head, looking like she didn't know how to start. After a long time, she mustered up the courage and said softly, "I'm sorry.

Yan Hao stopped the work in his hands and looked at Zhou Xiaonan who was feeling uneasy in front of him. In an instant, all his anger disappeared. She was completely kind-hearted. It was just that he was too sensitive. He really shouldn't blame her.

Zhou Xiaonan hung her head, waiting for Yan Hao's reply for a long time, and tears began to fall unconsciously. She felt aggrieved. It was she who organized the class meeting and the idea was hers. She didn't want him to be excluded by his classmates. And seeing that he didn't have any decent stationery, she just wanted to give him a surprise. Why did he treat her like this? Zhou Xiaonan, feeling extremely aggrieved, turned around and ran out of the house.

Yan Hao's young mind was shocked at this moment. Her tears made his heart ache so much. He finally understood that this girl had been deeply imprinted in his heart. It was his inferiority complex that made him want to get close to her but he was domineering and wanted to retain a little pitiful self-esteem.

Yan Hao chased out: "Xiaonan, it's my fault, it's all my fault..." He had never been so nervous about her. Zhou Xiaonan raised her head and looked at him in a daze. Yan Hao raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Zhou Xiaonan's cheek, but suddenly remembered that his hands were dirty from digging wild vegetables. He put his hands down embarrassedly, and his face turned red all of a sudden. In Zhou Xiaonan's dull gaze, Yan Hao smiled shyly. This was the first time he smiled at her, and his eyes were so gentle.

From then on Yan Hao studied harder. When he graduated, he was admitted to the key middle school in the county with Zhou Xiaonan with the first total score. In the junior high school entrance examination, he was promoted to the high school of the same school with the first score in the county. At this time, he was asked to tutor Zhou Xiaonan in homework. In this way, the two of them finished the college entrance examination with mutual support. Yan Hao was admitted to a top university in Beijing with the first place in the city in science, and Zhou Xiaonan was also admitted to another university in the same city.

Yan Hao was in high spirits at this time. He finally dared to tell Zhou Xiaonan what he had always wanted to say but dared not say. Zhou Xiaonan had already lived in his heart all these years. All his efforts were just to make himself qualified to stand by her side. He wanted Xiaonan to be his lover, to protect her and take care of her, and to do everything to make her happy. Zhou Xiaonan lowered her head, shy but full of joy. She knew everything. She had known his feelings for her for a long time, and she had always silently liked the stubborn and hardworking him!

Zhou Xiaonan's father was already an important official in the province at that time. Because of his conservative character, Zhou Xiaonan did not dare to tell him about her love affair. She only told her mother secretly. But as soon as they arrived in Beijing, her father caught up with them. He called Yan Hao to talk seriously for an afternoon, and then he actually agreed to their relationship. Later, Zhou Xiaonan learned that her father had three rules for Yan Hao, one of which was that they could not live together before marriage.

Afterwards, Yan Hao really kept his promise. That period of time was the most romantic time for them. They shared joy together and comforted each other's sorrows until they walked into the palace of marriage. In the romantic night breeze of Thailand, they finally truly owned each other. During every lingering and endless night, they happily demanded everything from each other like children. Good times always pass quickly. On the return plane, at the last moment, the two hugged each other tightly. They just wanted to embed each other into their bodies.
