Running Snail - Chapter 8

Wei Nan was in the bedroom, picked up the phone, and dialed his brother’s cell phone.

“Hey, mom, dad or old girl?”

Because of the caller ID, Wei Teng always said this sentence.

“It’s me, brother, what are you doing?”

“It’s an old girl, I play Warcraft online with Lu Shuang, why did you wake up so early, the sun came out from the west?”

Wei Nan was silent for a moment: “I was drunk yesterday, and I was too excited this morning, so you wake up early, you are also very energetic, early in the morning you will be a monster.”

“Ah? Why are you drunk? You dare to get drunk, the girl’s house is outside…”

“Oh, it’s okay, my mother has already said it again. With Lu Shuang here, I’m not hurt, don’t worry.”

Wei Teng heaved a sigh of relief: “That’s good. How about it, Lu Duo is not bad? He is handsome, tall, and polite. He learns software, he is super strong, and he can just put a virus. If you kill your computer, the key is that he doesn’t have a girlfriend. Actually, he has never had a girlfriend at all. Hehe, if you take him down, it is his first love.

When the old brother finally finished speaking, Wei Nan said helplessly: “Brother, what do you think you will become if you travel back to ancient times?”

Wei Teng thought for a while: “Me? A general who fought in all directions? The emperor of three thousand harems? A scholar with two-sleeved breeze?”

Wei Nan was silent for a moment and smiled slightly: “Tell you the answer: You are very suitable to be the madam of the brothel. Lu Shuang is the oiran girl who sold the first night in your brothel, and was so praised by you.”

“You…your mouth really needs to be slit!” Wei Teng was so angry that after a long time, he sighed helplessly: “You girl, brother introduced you to your boyfriend. It’s not for your own good. I can’t get married in the future. Mom and Dad go to the marriage agency to find a husband for you all day long, so just cry.”

Wei Nan smiled, suddenly became serious, and said softly: “Brother, I saw Xu Zhiheng yesterday.”

“Ah? Xu Zhiheng, who…”

“Don’t pretend, Lu Shuang told me.”

“Hehe, Xu Zhiheng, what about after seeing you?”

Wei Nan was silent for a moment, “He already has a new girlfriend, and he is still living together, he is about to be a father. Although I have been with him, we broke up after only one month, now it’s okay, don’t worry. .”

Wei Teng breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”

“Brother… what case did they investigate?”

“Uh, a criminal case.”

“Xu Zhiheng killed someone?” Even though he was calmer, the ending still trembled.

“It’s a female college student who was… that, oh, I can’t tell you, anyway…their gangsters killed a girl. That girl has a background at home, please The lawyers of the times went to court, and the investigation happened to find Xu Zhiheng’s head. It should be his brother who did it. The details are still being investigated. Sister, you should leave it alone, behave.”

Wei Nan was silent for a long time before whispering: “Well, I don’t care, don’t worry.”

Because of this heavy topic, the siblings rarely laughed at each other, and the atmosphere became a little dull.

After a long time, Wei Teng smiled and said: “By the way, will you go to the hospital for an internship after school starts?”

“This semester is the final Nine University of Science and Technology Joint Entrance Examination. After the examination, I will go to the hospital for internship.”

“Nine subjects?! So many…”

“Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Neuropathy and Mental Disease…”

“Certainly, don’t talk about it, it makes me dizzy.”

Wei Nan smiled: “The medical school has been so dizzy.”

“What about Xiao Qing and Qi Juan, are they ready to graduate?”

“Well, they will prepare their graduation thesis after school starts. Xiao Qing’s business student should join her father’s company to help. Qi Juan said that she plans to become a lawyer.”

“That’s good, the girls are all settled. Don’t worry about being brothers. Don’t worry. Although you graduated a year later than them in the five-year program, you will be the great doctor who treats and saves people in the future! I took a picture in a white coat and sent it to me to see how my sister is a doctor. I haven’t seen it yet.”

“Well, should I go into the morgue and take a picture for you?”

“Don’t scare yourself out of your legs first.”

After a long time, Wei Nan suddenly said in a very soft voice: “Brother…”

“Ok?”

“you must be happy.”

After a long silence on the phone, Wei Teng’s unnatural voice came: “Uh…you are too. You can open up Xu Zhiheng. It is not a big deal to be broken in love, and that kind of boy is not worthy of your liking. For a long time, there is no handsome guy anywhere in the world, right, my sister is so good, and she will definitely meet better ones.”

“I know, don’t worry.”

“Then I’ll hang up, goodbye, do you have to take care to know?”

“Well, bye.”

The phone on the other end was hung up, and there was only a beep in my ear.

Wei Nan smiled slightly and buckled the receiver.

“Wei Nan, that kind of person is not worthy of your liking at all, what a shabby man.”

“Wei Nan, Xu Zhiheng’s kind of bastard, smells of scum all over his body, a piece of rubbish.”

“Nan Nan, what do you care about that kind of person.”

“Little girl, that kind of boy is not worthy of your liking for so long, you can meet better ones.”

…

A series of echoes in the ear, friends, relatives.

Perhaps, in the eyes of everyone, that kind of boy is really not worth liking.

People who once liked him all gave up on him after knowing his background.

It’s just that, in this world, there is only one guy who waits for him to hang up first every time he talks to him on the phone.

Saying goodbye, but still waiting there. Once Wei Nan was puzzled and asked him why you didn’t hang up.

He said: “You first, I am waiting for you.”

In this world, there is only that boy who always accompanies him when he is working hard to endorse.

Even if he is boring beside him, sleeping on his stomach. I said many times that you should go play with your friends, but he refused.

He said: “I’m bored, stay with you.”

He is a little idle bastard, his background is dark and complicated, his character is withdrawn and weird, his temper is bad and he is not worthy of love at all.

But Wei Nan could feel that his is good, but his is different.

His attentiveness and gentleness.

There will always be helpless and strong conflicts in the intersection of different life circles.

Abandoning family and friends to elope, Wei Nan does not bother to do this, Xu Zhiheng does not bother to do it.

The guitar and piano can’t play beautiful music together, and the jeans and evening dress can’t dance harmoniously.

Giving up is just the most appropriate choice.

After all, in this world, there are still many people and things that need to be cared about. It is not that as long as there is love, the road is unimpeded.

Wei Nan was still unable to say anything to his family and friends, and he couldn’t even convince him–

Actually, I have someone who I like very much.

Unfortunately, that person is the scum in your mouth.

.

This holiday was quite plain. Wei Nan, Xiao Qing and Qi Juan also often get together, sometimes to McDonald’s, sometimes to drink coffee, and sometimes to order a table of dishes at a food stall for an afternoon.

The three of them occasionally talked about recent novels and exchanged experiences; occasionally they talked about their plans for the future, looking forward to the future.

It’s like squandering time to the utmost extent, gathering together all day.

In fact, for Wei Nan, Xiao Qing, and Qi Juan, this is the last vacation in their school days.

In the next semester, Xiao Qing and Qi Juan, who are already seniors, are about to step out of the campus era and embark on a complex society. Wei Nan will not have winter and summer vacations for students.

Xiao Qing is the daughter of a daughter, and the real estate company of the Xiao family is very famous in the local area. Although Xiao Qing does not have the air of a young lady, she is mingled with Wei Nan and Qi Juan, but she is the one who has the most concerns. She hid everything in her heart, and occasionally complained to her friends with a faint smile on her face. His parents want her to inherit the Xiao family’s industry, hoping she can get an MBA degree. Although Xiao Qing did not explicitly refuse, she also studied business obediently, but Wei Nan knew very well that she did not want to inherit the family business at all.

All her interests are in art, and she has loved art since she was a child, or in other words, she loved art.

The first time I met Xiao Qing was in the art room of the junior high school. The girl in a white dress, seriously holding a pen and sketching on the drawing board, looked back with a pure smile and a calm and beautiful look, which is still in the memory of Wei Nan. deep.

It is a pity that Xiao Qing was forced to abandon the art class by her parents because of her school tension in high school, so she could only sneak in the corner to paint the best world in her heart.

Secretly took out those colorful brushes, hid in the dark corner, and painted carefully.

Among the three, Qi Juan is the most indifferent and arrogant. She is the main player of the law school debate team. She has participated in the national college student debate on behalf of T University and won prizes. There are many boys chasing her, but she has never Have a boyfriend. After graduating, Qi Juan intends to apply for a lawyer directly, although she arrogantly said: “What is good for a master’s degree? Doctors are all looking for jobs this year. Ability is not tied to academic qualifications.”

Qi Juan seems shrewd, but Wei Nan knows that she went to work so early purely to make money and support her family. Her parents have been divorced for many years and have been living with her mother. Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. Although she recovered after the removal, her physical condition went from bad to worse.

As the only child, Qi Juan must carry this burden in advance, even if it is heavy.

Wei Nan will also enter the internship period of more than one year after finishing the most terrifying college entrance examination of the medical school in the first half of the senior year.

There are no winter and summer vacations for the internship of the hospital’s Dalun Department. After the internship, I get a doctor’s license, find a job, train as a resident, and become a real doctor.

Everyone has their own helplessness. Happy people are so similar, but unfortunate people have their own misfortunes.

Compared with Xiao Qing and Qi Juan’s family problems, Wei Nan feels that she has enough luck. His parents are well, his brother is happy, and the family is happy.

Love is just a part of life, even if it is not there, maybe it can be filled with something else.

Some things, some people, are only suitable for secretly taking them out in the middle of the night and remembering them.

.

The weather in August is extremely hot.

It was morning when Xiao Qing called. Wei Nan had just got up and put on his clothes, standing in front of the mirror combing his hair.

“Nan Nan, my parents asked me to study abroad. I am at the airport now. I am leaving. You have to take care.”

Wei Nan only felt like hail hit his head, and his voice choked in his throat: “Xiao Qing…”

“I have already called Xiaojuan, don’t come to see me off, I will contact you when I arrive, bye.”

When the phone was hung up, Wei Nan ran out of the door regardless of her messy hairstyle, stopped a taxi and flew to the airport.

At the entrance of the airport, they ran into Qi Juan who was rushing over. The two looked at each other without saying anything, and rushed towards the entrance together.

Xiao Qing was standing at the ticket gate leading to the entrance, with her head down, obediently listening to her parents’ instructions.

Xiao Qing’s parents, who are in wealthy families, are well-known in the business world, and the Xiao family’s husband and wife are extraordinary, and their dressing taste is not comparable to that of the ordinary people.

The diamond necklace on Xiao Qing’s mother’s neck shone dazzlingly under the light, and Dad’s suit is probably a famous brand that I have never heard of.

But Xiao Qing is still in simple white short-sleeved and light blue jeans, with a cute Nokia mobile phone hanging around her neck, with a white case.

It’s simple-a distressing outfit.

Slender fingers are pulling the huge box, carrying a simple small bag on her body, and the light yellow tassels are swaying with the wind-that is the bag that Wei Nan and Qi Juan bought together on her 20th birthday. Yes, a few hundred dollars, perhaps worthless in the eyes of their Xiao family, Xiao Qing liked it very much and kept carrying it.

The news of suddenly going abroad caught Wei Nan and Qi Juan by surprise. She only notified the two friends at the last minute, maybe she just didn’t want them to worry. The time required to complete the tedious procedures is not short, but she alone bears them.

Seeing the two, Xiao Qing twitched her mouth and smiled lightly.

The same pure smile as when I saw it in the studio, with a little bitterness that is hard to detect.

“You are here? You are really disobedient, didn’t you say don’t come to send it?”

The answer to her was a strong hug.

And in unison: “You must take care when you are abroad!”

“Take care of yourself, have you heard?”

Xiao Qing nodded, “So do you.”

The hug is so tight that it hurts, and then—

Turn around and walk away.

The automatic door blocked Xiao Qing’s slightly thin back. Through the large French windows, a plane slowly took off and disappeared into the sky.

Wei Nan and Qi Juan stayed at the airport for a long time, until they forgot the time, as if they were reluctant to leave.

When they returned, the two were sitting in the same taxi.

Qi Juan said: “I have passed the interview at Times, and I will go there for an internship next semester, and then go back to school to get a graduation certificate when I graduate, and I will work in Times in the future, and I may rarely have the opportunity to meet.”

Wei Nan smiled lightly: “Being a barrister, you must treat your first salary, you know? I’m going to the hotel to eat most of your salary.”

Qi Juan smiled: “That’s natural, as long as you can eat it.” After a pause, he said: “I heard that the entrance exam for your medical school is very cruel. You have to keep it up.”

“Don’t worry, there are so many people dying together, so I’m not afraid.”

.

The holiday is finally over.

Summer still continues.

There are no distinct four seasons in the south. There are trees and flowers everywhere throughout the year.

To divide the seasons by temperature, it seems that only hot summer and cold winter can be distinguished, while the hot summer occupies more of the year. Therefore, this summer is extremely long.

It was so long that after a long time, Wei Nan couldn’t help but think of it, and he actually occupied the longest part of his childhood memories.

In the summer of that year, there were too many things pressed on their shoulders. Those pure time, like the harsh notes in the music, gave an imperfect end to the climax.

Graduation, broken love, separation of friends.

Start school, take exams, enter the hospital, enter society.

Life is such a vicious circle, some people walk out, and some will walk in. The end of one story is the beginning of another.

It will always be so complicated and lively.

It will never stop functioning just because someone leaves.

What’s more, what left is like that——

A person who makes everyone contemptuous.
