Chapter 1040: A Former Lover
The silence is suffocating. Now no one dares to say a word, for fear of breaking the situation that has just stabilized.
After a long time, the female invigilator finally spoke, and said: "I heard that Ye Ling is a talented child, and my brother can still insist on participating in the competition when he is sick, which is commendable, maybe it was really because of illness that this afternoon's incident happened, I forgive her!" After speaking, she looked at the other three invigilators with her eyes, asking for their opinions.
The other three invigilators didn't speak, just nodded silently. They also felt very strange in their hearts about what happened this afternoon, and it didn't make sense.
The peak loop turned much easier than Wang Dan expected. Therefore, when everyone nodded and agreed to her request, she relied on her clever mouth to frequently raise her glass to persuade wine, and every glass was impossible to refuse.
That night, she drank a lot, and of course Principal Lin and several invigilators also drank a lot, and the more they drank, the happier they became, as if they had forgotten all about the unpleasant incident this afternoon.
Late at night, after everyone had a good time after drinking, Wang Dan instructed the secretary to buy a special colored stone necklace, of course, for the female invigilator. She is not at ease, she wants to make things foolproof.
The next morning, before Wang Dan got up, Wang Xin came to look for her, as if she was in a hurry, she had to come to meet her in pajamas.
"What, don't you have to go to class today?" Wang Dan asked in the first sentence when he saw Wang Xin.
"Well, Sister Wang Dan, the teacher has a two-day holiday for the contestants to take a break. Wang Xin replied.
"Oh, well, please take a seat. Wang Dan motioned for him to sit down, and then sat down himself, lighting a cigarette casually.
"Sister Wang, where is Ye Ling, isn't she there?" asked Zheng Lili as she looked upstairs.
"She's upstairs, do you want to call her?" Wang Dan was also very strange, whether he was looking for me or Ye Ling.
"No, no, I'm here for you. Wang Xin immediately explained.
"Looking for me, is there anything else? Isn't Ye Ling's matter already settled? Didn't you already know about it last night? Wang Dan asked him curiously, looking tired, because she had drunk too much last night, and her physical strength had not fully recovered.
Wang Xin looked at Wang Dan with envy on his face and said, "Sister, I really admire you, really." ”
Wang Dan looked at him, smiled, and said, "You came to see me early in the morning, didn't you just say you admired me?"
"No, no, sister, actually, in fact, I have always been unable to figure out in my heart, why are you so good to Ye Lingtian?Yesterday, yesterday for her ......" Lily immediately explained.
"Hehe, do you mean that I knelt down for Ye Ling yesterday to plead, do you really want to know?" Wang Dan looked at Zheng Lili and asked.
"Hmm" Wang Xuan nodded vigorously, and his innocent little face couldn't help but lean towards Wang Dan's side.
"Well, I tell you, but you're going to have breakfast with me first. Wang Dan said to her with a smile.
"Breakfast?" Wang Xin was confused, thinking, what does this have to do with eating breakfast?
"Chat while eating," Wang Dan finished speaking, and went upstairs. Wang Xin immediately followed.
Thirteen years ago, Wang Dan was admitted to the provincial key high school of Los Angeles No. 2 Middle School with the second place in the city, which is a very enviable result, but she herself is not satisfied, because there is a first place in front of her. Wang Dan has been competitive since she was a child, and she can't accept second place, so from the first day of school, she has been obsessed with the first place.
The first place is Ai Min, and he was admitted to Los Angeles No. 2 High School with a total score of nearly full score. Because she was not in the same class, Wang Dan remembered his name in her heart and secretly competed with him, but despite her hard work, she still did not catch up with his grades after the two monthly exams, which made her full of mystery and curiosity about her, and a little jealousy.
The first time Wang Dan met Ai Min was in the school cafeteria, at that time, people's minds were still relatively closed, at least not as open as modern times, and it was normal for boys and girls in a grade not to know each other, and Wang Dan and Ai Min were no exception.
Ai Min's family lives in poverty in the countryside and lives with her mother and sister. Ten years ago, the countryside was much poorer than it is now, and in order to save food for his mother and sister, Ai Min only ate one lunch a day.
At noon that day, because his classmates in the city were curious about what the cornmeal steamed buns tasted like, they stole his corn steamed buns, and there was no one left, so Ai Min had to ask the aunt in the cafeteria for a bowl of free rice soup and drink the pickles he brought.
When Wang Dan walked into the cafeteria, several male classmates were gloating and making fun of him.
"Ai Min, why do you drink soup again today? Why do you like soup so much, be careful of diarrhea!"
"I don't have any money again, don't you need me to borrow you a little, ahhahaha!"
"These days, I want to study without money, what's the use of good grades! Hurry home and marry a daughter-in-law and hug my son!"
A few boys who are usually jealous of Ai Min tease him with a word, and their faces are full of pleasure.
Ai Min sat there and continued to drink his own rice soup, and he was still reading the book intently, not paying any attention to the boys.
Seeing Wang Dan walk into the cafeteria, one of the boys teased Ai Min even more, wanting to show off himself in front of the first beauty in the school, put his leftover food on a plate, stir it, and put it in front of Ai Min.
"Ai Min, I invite you to eat, there is meat in the dish, don't waste it, eat it, hahaha!" After speaking, he stood there with his hands on his hips, watching Ai Min's reaction.
Without even looking up at him, Ai Min took the rice soup, picked up the book, went to an empty table in the corner and sat down, and continued to read and drink the soup as if nothing had happened.
From that noon, Wang Dan had a new understanding of Ai Min. It was from that noon that time that Wang Dan began to slowly get in touch with him and like him.
"Sister Wang Dan, the Ai Min you said is very similar to Ye Ling's family background? Is that so? Hearing Wang Dan talk about this, Wang Xin asked with big curious eyes.
"Well, you're right, not only is the family almost the same, but even her brother looks very similar, just like twin brothers. When my brother first took his photo and asked me to ask him to avenge my father, I even thought he had taken the wrong photo. It can be said that I saw the shadow of the person I love in Brother Ye Ling's body. Wang Dan said faintly, as if he had not yet come out of his memories.
"Sister Wang Dan, what happened later?" Wang Xin asked eagerly.
Wang Dan knew the reason for Wang Xin's questioning, but in fact, he was seeking an answer as to why he was so good to Ye Ling, so she continued to tell and simply let her understand why she wanted to help Ye Ling like this.
Later, in the process of gradual contact, Wang Dan found that Ai Min was a very atmospheric and ambitious boy, although his family was poor, he refused to bow to difficulties, in order to be able to be admitted to university, he went through unimaginable hardships from elementary school to high school, but never gave up.
I have to admit that Wang Dan began to like this boy and always took the opportunity to contact him, because when he was not in the same class, the cafeteria became the best place for them to meet.
Every day at noon, Wang Dan would deliberately sit opposite Ai Min to eat, under the pretext of asking him questions. Classmates said that Ai Min was not easy to approach, but after a long time, she found that this was not the case, he was a person who was indifferent on the surface and fiery in his heart, and he was very careful in his work.
Physics and chemistry are his favorite subjects to study, and he aspires to become a weapons expert. Ai Min once said that his father died early, his mother was sick, his family was very poor, and even three meals could not be guaranteed, but these didn't matter to him, as long as the three meals filled his stomach, he didn't ask for luxurious clothes and food.
In his heart, the country is the most important, and a man should take on his own responsibilities to protect the land and protect thousands of people, which is what a man should do. For him, the country of Shenzhou is his home.
He has participated in the International Olympiad and won the championship, so it can be said that he is working towards his own goal step by step.
In order to get in touch with Ai Min, Wang Dan always found an excuse to buy food for him, at first, he refused to accept it, and later, Wang Dan lied to him that he liked to eat cornmeal buns, and exchanged the rice he bought with him, and he accepted it suspiciously.
Getting closer and closer to Wang Dan naturally attracted the jealousy of many boys, who tried to trick him, although Wang Dan always tried to help her, because she did not live in school, and for this, Ai Min also suffered a lot.
In the summer of her sophomore year of high school, on Wang Dan's birthday, those boys who coveted her on weekdays bought her a lot of expensive birthday gifts with the money given by their parents, and some people prepared a birthday banquet for her in the most luxurious hotel in Los Angeles at that time. Wang Dan went to the appointment, and originally asked Ai Min to go with him, the purpose was to ease his relationship with those boys, so that he would no longer be bullied.
But Aimin didn't go, and he didn't go back to school. On the afternoon of the second day of Wang Dan's birthday, Ai Min's body was found by Jiangfa, the cause of death was drowning, and he was holding a lilac chicken heart stone tightly in his hand.
Speaking of this, Wang Dan couldn't speak anymore, tears welled up, and his body was trembling.
"Sister, don't be sad, what happened?" Wang Xin saw her so sad and comforted her gently.
After stabilizing his mood a little, Wang Dan continued, "It's all my fault, I didn't go to the classroom on the afternoon of my birthday, because he left a note in my desk, saying that I would go to the river to find a special birthday gift for me, but I didn't go to class that afternoon because I was busy with my birthday, otherwise, I wouldn't let him go, or I would go with him......" Speaking of this, Wang Dan choked again, his face full of regret and remorse.
"Sister Wang Dan, don't be sad anymore, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked this, let's stop talking about this," Wang Xin regretted asking this, so his face was full of shame.
"It's okay, it's been a long time, the tears that should have been shed have been shed, the pain that should have been endured has been endured, and I won't be so sad now. Wang Dan comforted Wang Xin in turn.
After a pause, Wang Dan continued: "Look, this is the heartstone he left me. After speaking, she opened the collar of her pajamas, revealing a snow-white jade neck, on which hung a very ordinary necklace, the necklace was a light purple heartstone, on which you could clearly see a light red hieroglyph - "love".
"Sister Wang Dan, I understand why you are so good to Ye Ling, I'm sorry, I shouldn't doubt you?" Wang Xin said apologetically.
"Doubt me, doubt me, what?" Wang Dan felt very curious, but immediately understood, looked at Wang Xin, smiled and shook his head, thinking, it turned out that Wang Xin thought she had ulterior motives.
"No, nothing. Wang Xin looked a little embarrassed, and immediately took his eyes off Wang Dan's face, and looked up to find Ye Ling standing at the door of the restaurant.
Seeing that Wang Xin found out, Ye Ling made a silent gesture and left.
It turned out that Ye Ling had been standing here for a long time, and he had heard all the conversations between the two of them.
