Chapter 5.2 – Doesn’t Go to Night Study Under The Heavy Snow (2)
❥❥❥
In fact, when Jiang Daling asked her to go out to play in the snow, she was a little moved, but Nan Xiangwan couldn’t pass the hurdle in her heart after all.
Her mother told her countless times, “Don’t compare yourself with the worse, you must compare with the good. You must have a sense of crisis. When you are playing, others are burying their heads in the book to study. You know our condition, whether you can live a good life can only depend on yourself…”
Over time, just the thought of having fun will make her feel bad. She instinctively resists everything that has nothing to do with learning. She feels that as long as she does it well, she can get good results. But when she saw the heavy snow blowing outside the window, when the classroom became empty in an instant, when the snow was stuffed into her neck, Nan Xiangwan knew that she could fool others but not herself.
When Nan Xiangwan walked out of the teaching building, she didn’t regret her choice even more.
The open space in front of the teaching building has become a sea of joy. Everyone had a great time playing snowballs, making snowmen, and playing snowball fights. After going to high school, the feelings between classmates became more and more like social interactions between adults. Seemingly modest but actually alienation. On the surface, they were polite, but in fact they competed for the rankings, secretly jealous of each others.
But now it’s different. When a heavy snow comes, no matter whether they are deskmate, friends who often play together, or classmates in the same class, they can get together without any barriers. Everyone talks and plays with each other. The longer a person is in the adult world, the more moved he/she is by this closeness.
Nan Xiangwan grabbed a handful of snow and squeezed it into a snowball. She told Lin Xiaoran to stand still.
Lin Xiaoran did what she said, gritted his teeth and waited for the snowball to come.
As time passed, Lin Xiaoran thought that the Nan Xiangwan would seize the opportunity to retaliate, but unexpectedly, she just rolled a snowball on his neck, then said, “Done.”
Lin Xiaoran let out a sigh, turned around to see Nan Xiangwan holding a snowball like holding a fluffy little rabbit. The lighting in front of the teaching building was dim, and he couldn’t see Nan Xiangwan’s expression, but he could feel the tenderness in her eyes, like a child.
“Do you know where Jiang Daling is?” Nan Xiangwan asked.
Hearing Nan Xiangwan’s voice, Lin Xiaoran recovered. He looked around but did not find Jiang Daling.
The snow was still falling, Nan Xiangwan’s head and body quickly turned white. Lin Xiaoran wanted to help her dust off the snow, but afraid that it would not be too good if he did it. He hesitated, with his right hand in his pants pocket, never lifted it up.
Nan Xiangwan looked for a while but didn’t see Jiang Daling. When she turned around, she saw the snowflakes on Lin Xiaoran’s head. She covered her lips and smiled, beckoning him to lower a little, and wiped the snow on his head with her hand.
“Why don’t you go to Zhang Chao and Li Shuai?”
Lin Xiaoran scratched his head, “I don’t know where they ran to. After searching for a long time, i didn’t see them.” In fact, he saw the two skiing on the slope in front of the experimental building at a glance, but he didn’t want to join them. He saw Nan Xiangwan still holding the snowball and suggested, “Let’s roll the snowball and see whose snowball is bigger.”
“No.” Nan Xiangwan’s eyes dimmed at once. She no longer missed the snowball in her hand. She raised her arms and threw the snowball far away as if venting something, “Go, Pikachu!”
Don’t know if it’s because Nan Xiangwan’s snowball hit someone, her snowball was like a trigger. Instantly, the overwhelming snowballs flew back. Some fell in front of Nan Xiangwan, some fell on her, making her scream. Lin Xiaoran hurriedly pulled her away. The two of them hid behind the flowerbed by the stairs, pinching the snowball while throwing it back.
There was just two of them. The speed of pinching the snowball could not keep up with the speed of throwing. After a while, they were exhausted and could only hide behind and wait for an opportunity. Lin Xiaoran is agile, the key is that his eyes are particularly good. Every time he shoots, he will definitely hit the target. Nan Xiangwan was amazed.
Good things don’t last forever. The music of ‘Jasmine’ sounded from the campus speakers, and class is about to begin. The students on the playground continued to play around as if they hadn’t heard. The classmate who had originally planned to go to the teaching building saw this scene, threw back and continued to play in the snow.
Soon, the voice of the head of school discipline came from the loudspeaker, “Stop playing! Stop playing! Go back to class immediately, right away! All points will be deducted if you don’t go back!” The head of school discipline was mad and shouted in one octave higher. When he shouted “point deduction”, his voice cracked.
The playground suddenly quieted down. Everyone look at each other, somewhat at a loss. Although the head of school discipline is always full of anger, it is the first time to get angry hoarsely like today. Everyone was frightened by him. One after another, they dropped the snow in their hands and walked back to the teaching building.
Everyone’s expressions were surprisingly the same, dissapointed and sad.
Nan Xiangwan also sighed, stood up and patted the snow on her body, said to Lin Xiaoran, “Let’s go.”
They haven’t come out from behind the flowerbed, suddenly there was a whistle, and then the principal’s voice, “Ahem, let me tell you. Tonight there’s no night study!”
“Ah!!!” The loud noise exploded like firecrackers. Everyone couldn’t believe their ears. Many people were repeatedly confirming to the person next to them, “Really? Is this true?”
The principal probably guessed that everyone couldn’t believe it, and said it again solemnly, “I said it again, you don’t need to go to night study today!”
It’s true! It’s true! Everyone shouted louder. In addition to the snow falling from the sky, many people threw the snow on the ground into the air. The dazzling white show is all over the sky, as if in a fairy tale world.
The cheers were louder than before, so everyone didn’t hear the principal’s next word at all, “Students whose homes are far away, please go home as soon as possible. Be careful on the way.”
“The scumbag is the scumbag…” Looking at everyone’s ecstatic appearance, Nan Xiangwan wanted to complain as usual, but she couldn’t go on because she really couldn’t find a reason to object.
“Oh!” Don’t know when, the snowball fight started again. This time, a snowball hit Nan Xiangwan’s forehead. She yelled and squatted down while holding her forehead. This snowball was obviously different from the previous snowballs. The texture is hard and the force is powerful, which made her grimanced and dizzy.
Lin Xiaoran realized something was wrong, quickly helped her and asked, “Are you okay?”
Nan Xiangwan gritted her teeth and was speechless.
Lin Xiaoran’s gaze swept unconsciously and saw the snowball falling on the ground. The snowball spread out, revealing the huge stone inside.
“Damn it.” He suddenly became angry. No matter whether a snowball hit him or not, he pointed to the other side and shouted, “Who did it? Who put the stone in the snowball? Do you want to kill people?” Seeing that no one had admitted, Lin Xiaoran cursed and vowed to pursue it to the end.
Who would have thought, he just took a step, his trousers were suddenly pulled by someone. Nan Xiangwan squatted on the ground, looking at him pitifully, “Forget it, no one will admit it.”
“But……”
Nan Xiangwan looked at him quietly and shook her head.
Lin Xiaoran wasn’t willing, but he also knew that he couldn’t do anything except for shouting some harsh words. He carefully checked Nan Xiangwan’s forehead and found that it was red and swollen. He immediately pinched a snowball and gave her ice compress.
Nan Xiangwan laughed out loud, “I rolled your neck with a snowball, and you are now back in revenge.”
Lin Xiaoran pulled the corners of his lips, smiled bitterly and said nothing.
After applying ice for a while, Lin Xiaoran felt that this was not a solution. He proposed to go to the school infirmary to find some medicine.
“No trouble.” Nan Xiangwan called him, but Lin Xiaoran ran away like he hadn’t heard.
“Oh, why are you here?”
The sudden female voice frightened Nan Xiangwan. She looked back and found that it was the team leader. The team leader complained that she was hiding here, making it easy to find. She pointed to Nan Xiangwan’s forehead and asked, “Are you okay?”
Nan Xiangwan shook her head.
The team leader let out a long sigh and rejoiced, “It’s great if you are fine. I just received the notice that we will come to school to sweep the snow at six tomorrow morning.
“Six o’clock?” Nan Xiangwan cried out in surprise. School starts at 7:20, it’s too early to go to school at 6:00, right?
The team leader said again, “Yes, six o’clock. Is there any problem?”
“No problem.” She suddenly thought of something, and then asked, “Do you want to inform Lin Xiaoran too?” After all, they are in a group.
The team leader smiled, “No, he needs to practice sports and has no time to clean.”
“Okay.” Nan Xiangwan almost forgot, Lin Xiaoran is a sports student.
Normally, Nan Xiangwan wakes up at 6:45, washing and rides her bike to school, the time is just right. Now the situation is special. The snow on the road hasn’t melted. She can’t ride her bike and has to rush to school before six o’clock. She could only get up at five o’clock, and rush to school after a simple wash.
Nan Xiangwan finally arrived at school before six o’clock. To her surprise, the school didn’t even open the gate yet. She looked at the watch repeatedly and confirmed that it was not her problem. It was still dark and the temperature was low, so she had to stamp her feet in the snow to warm herself up. Time passed by, and it was not until 06:10 that the school gate opened a small slit that could accommodate one person. Nan Xiangwan walked into the school and found that the whole school was empty, there was no one.
The door of the teaching building was not opened. All the students who came at this time were sport students. Because there was snow in the outdoor grounds, everyone went straight to the gymnasium.
“Nan Xiangwan!”
Nan Xiangwan turned her head when she heard the voice and found that Lin Xiaoran was calling her. Don’t know what’s wrong with her, but the sad reality of ‘I made an appointment to sweep the snow but I was alone’ ashamed her. At this moment, Nan Xiangwan would rather not meet Lin Xiaoran.
“Nan Xiangwan!” Lin Xiaoran amplified his voice, “Don’t run away! Let me see how your injury is.”
Nan Xiangwan suddenly stopped. After a while, Lin Xiaoran chased her up. He carefully looked at her injury and asked, “Why are you here so early?”
“Team leader said to sweep the snow.” Nan Xiangwan said faintly.
“Where is the team leader?” Lin Xiaoran asked.
“Not here.” Nan Xiangwan’s voice lowered.
Lin Xiaoran asked again, “Where are the others?”
“Not here.” Nan Xiangwan’s voice became even lower.
“Hey…” Lin Xiaoran sighed, pressed the top of her head, and said helplessly, “Fool, you must have been cheated.”
