Ruan Qiao jogged all the way to the unit door and rested against the wall, a little absent-minded.

Just as she was about to go upstairs, she seemed to see a familiar vehicle driving towards the underground garage, but she didn't think much about it.

In the airtight elevator, you seem to be able to hear the sound of your heartbeat more clearly.

Dong, Dong, Dong.

The frequency is getting faster and faster.

Does Lin Zhan really understand what she means? Will he hurt him if he said that just now?

She was a little nervous and her mind was a little confused.

This kind of chaos and uneasiness reached the extreme when she opened the door and saw Song Mingzhao and Ruan Zhenming sitting in the living room watching TV.

Both of them looked at her.

Ruan Qiao was stunned at the door for a few seconds before she realized that the car just now—

She unconsciously tied her hair around her ears, trying her best to hide the panic of her voice, "Dad, mom...you are at home today."

Ruan Zhenming's face was not very good, and his tone was a little stiff, "I just came up!"

Ruan Qiao's heartbeats faster.

Ruan Zhenming seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Song Mingzhao, "Jiao Qiao, have you eaten? Do you want your mother to cook a bowl of noodles?"

"No need for mom, I've eaten it." Ruan Qiao shook her head quickly, "I want to take a shower first."

Ruan Zhenming was about to speak again, but Song Mingzhao hit him quietly, then said to Ruan Qiao: "Okay, then you go take a shower. Your father and I will watch TV for a while. We have to go to bed early today and we will have to go on a business trip tomorrow."

Ruan Qiao nodded and hurried into the room.

As soon as Ruan Qiao's door was closed, Ruan Zhenming turned his head and asked Song Mingzhao, "What are you doing? She is downstairs and..."

Song Mingzhao's warning eyes turned over, and Ruan Zhenming's voice suddenly became much weaker.

Song Mingzhao spoke in anger: "Joqiao doesn't want to say what you asked? Is she a three-year-old child? Why do you care about your daughter if you haven't seen you on weekdays? Now it's getting warm."

"Me!" Ruan Zhenming paused, and he really didn't know how to refute it.

***

Ruan Qiao entered the room, his heart thumped violently.

I always feel like they have encountered something.

She turned on her phone and noticed that Lin Zhan sent me a WeChat message.

Chaotianjiao: [Mushroom sister, I seem to see your mother's car]

Chaotianjiao: [I should remember the license plate number correctly with you]

Chaotianjiao:【Mushroom Sister】

Chaotianjiao: [Mushroom sister, are you okay? Do you want me to go to your house to explain]

Ruan Qiao lay on the bed, covering her face with a quilt.

It's over, I must have seen it.

Lin Zhan was still sending WeChat messages, and Ruan Qiao picked up his cell phone and wrote back to him.

Sadako didn't forget to dig the well: [No, my mother probably didn't see it, she didn't ask me]

Ruan Qiao now felt that she had a fixed time bomb and didn't sleep well at night. The next morning, she packed up her suitcase and quietly returned to school.

She doesn't want to go home this semester!

***

As the day and pages of the manual book slowly flipped over, the day also began to grow longer.

The endless cicadas on the green branches bring a summer atmosphere, and the clothes are getting thinner and thinner. In early June, it is the home of T-shirts and short skirts.

This semester passed quickly and peacefully.

In less than a month, the final exam will be coming again.

Once this semester is over, they will enter their sophomore year.

Perhaps Ruan Qiao's words that day came into play. In the past two or three months, Lin Zhan rarely skipped classes and did not go out to wander from time to time.

Even if I want to go out, I often took Ruan Qiao with me or reported to Ruan Qiao in advance.

The annual college entrance examination season is about to come again. The circle of friends is full of blessings to Chong'an. All kinds of shouting pictures are constantly forwarded. On the college entrance examination day, everyone has changed into Chong'an's school badge as avatar, and Ruan Qiao is no exception.

It seems that she feels a little bit emotional. Last year, she came out of the exam room and ended her three years of high school.

In fact, she returned to Chong'an for a few days. As far as she knows, there are also many high school classmates who stayed in Nancheng who have to go back to Chong'an to take a look every now and then.

I remember that at that time, Teacher Qi, the head teacher, said, "I don't want you to come back often after you go to college, because most of the seniors who come back often are not as happy as they were in high school. They still have regrets in Chong'an. Every time they come back, they are finding memories. I hope my students have no regrets in Chong'an."

When he first entered Nanjing University, Ruan Qiao once thought that he would become one of them.

Fortunately, there isn't.

***

After the class, Ruan Qiao packed her bag and walked out, but unexpectedly did not see Lin Zhan.

Today, Lin Zhan and his class were taking classes next door. Usually, Lin Zhan was waiting at the door at this time.

She looked into the classroom next door, and then she found that some classmates were sending information.

There are two teachers on the stage, one is the teacher and the other seems to be their counselor.

The counselor whispered on the stage: "It takes up a few minutes for everyone, fill in the intention form within this week, hand it over to the squad leader, and the squad leader should pay attention to it."

"Where is the squad leader, Lin Zhan?"

After a while, Lin Zhan sat up from the window seat and lazily responded.

As soon as I heard the sound, I knew I hadn't woken up yet.

After the counselor and teacher of their class left, Ruan Qiao entered the classroom through the back door.

Song Wanwan sat in a seat behind Lin Zhan, chewing gum while packing her schoolbag, and there were small pink curly clips with curly bangs on her hair.

When she saw Ruan Qiao coming in, she greeted her, "Jojo!"

Ruan Qiao laughed, looked at her bangs and said, "Wanwan, can't you take the bangs?"

Song Wanwan paused, her eyes and beads turned upwards, and then she realized, "Oh! I almost forgot."

Lin Zhan heard Ruan Qiao's voice and turned to look at her.

Ruan Qiao walked to his seat and helped him pack his schoolbag.

The intention statement I just sent was casually spread on the table. Ruan Qiao picked it up and took a look.

It turns out it is...the intention to choose the school to go abroad.

She put the form into Lin Zhan's book and asked softly: "Hey, which school do you want to choose?"

Lin Zhan raised his eyebrows, his voice was neither high nor low, and he didn't sound very careless, "I don't want to go."

Ruan Qiao helped him pull his schoolbag and looked up at him: "Why?"

The two walked out, Lin Zhan held Ruan Qiao's shoulder and bit her ear: "If I go abroad, I will not have to be with you for two years. When I think of this, I don't want to go anywhere."

Lin Zhanyu teased, Ruan Qiao's face turned slightly red, and he slapped him, "Don't talk nonsense."

There was no one in the corridor, and Lin Zhan took the opportunity to kiss her, "I'm serious... Otherwise, how about you apply for an exchange student, how about you? Can't our junior school apply for an exchange? That would be a year missing from another place..."

Lin Zhan suddenly thought of this and said the more he thought it was feasible, "Is this method okay? Hey, I'm serious, see which school you want to apply for and exchange. Although I can't apply, I can go to the same country with you. The schools we connect with seem to be from Australia and North America, you want..."

Before Lin Zhan finished speaking, Ruan Qiao interrupted him, "Stop making trouble." Her voice was helpless, "Our majors usually exchange in China, and they also have a match for Hong Kong Chinese. However, even if you go to the United States, even if you apply, you will waste a year there and you will not be able to learn anything."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Looking at Lin Zhan who was suddenly silent, Ruan Qiao suddenly felt a little sorry.

She took the initiative to approach Lin Zhan and hugged him.

"Lin Zhan, the point is not that you go abroad. We have to go abroad for two years. The point is that you have to study hard now and apply for a good school. You don't have much time left, only one year left."

Lin Zhan looked at her and didn't say anything.

Ruan Qiao lowered her eyes, "Forget it, let's go to have a meal first, and we will discuss these things later."

Lin Zhan let her pull him, walked forward with her.

***

In the cafeteria, the two of them sat opposite each other.

Ruan Qiao carefully scraped the wood chips from disposable chopsticks and handed them to Lin Zhan.

Lin Zhan took it, looked at her, and suddenly said, "Hey, Persimmon Sister..."

Ruan Qiao looked up at him.

"My mother bought me a house next to the school. It's the property in Nanshan Impression. It's not big, it's only more than 80 square meters. It's just fine decoration and you can move in directly."
