Chapter 8, The Mindful Person

Yang Xiaoguang, pretending to be classmate B, grabbed Yihan's collar and was about to pinch his jaw, but Yihan had long since grown much taller, and the difference was no longer just half a head as it was at the beginning. He leaned back, preventing her from succeeding

In my heart, an inexplicable sentiment ripples outward in circles

Nuan Nuan took out her phone, and it was indeed in a powered-off state. She had been feeling restless and disoriented these past few days.

A birthday card next to it

Fang Zhu took the opportunity to come and have a brief chat with Nuan Nuan and Yang Xiao Guang

Sunlight, square bamboo, and Yang Xiaoguang

"Wang Yihan, why don't you introduce yourself?" The girl in the ethnic dance costume walked out gracefully from behind Yihan.

In the evening, Yihan lay on the warm bed doing math homework, with a pillow under his chest. Many times, he would do homework in the same room as her, and he was also accustomed to giving her the writing desk.

Lu Xiao is the lead dancer, her posture is graceful, and her slender waist is the envy of many

Nuan Nuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes."

Nuan Nuan gazed at her silhouette and pondered for a moment

Lu Xiao was shy: "But I did not win any awards." The tone was one of regret

Yang Xiaoguang stepped forward in a swift motion and firmly grasped Nuannuan's hand tightly

Yihan stood on the stage with an air of arrogance, in front of a wheat rack. Her gaze swept across the venue and paused at Nuan Nuan and her companions, smiling triumphantly.

Dad has replaced the light bulb, and it is still an energy-saving bulb

My youthful face, just like that, has shown me its true colors. Saying this, I held my cheek with my palm, gazing innocently at myself in the mirror

Returning to my own room, the entire space is filled with incandescent light due to the replacement of the lamp with an energy-saving bulb

The eyes are clear and bright, the hair falls smoothly, clean and simple, exceptionally graceful. Holding a roll of mathematics papers in hand, he slightly furrows his brow as he looks at the clumsy female classmate who has bumped into him

Dad has to work overtime again today and cannot celebrate your seventeenth birthday, I am truly sorry

Hmm! Lu Xiao nodded and then said, "Wang Yihan's performance was also excellent! The student who originally ranked in the top three for the special performance caught a cold and was replaced at the last minute, but I didn't expect it to be so good. I have a newfound respect for them."

Is Lu Xiao Dad's intern? Yi Han asked Nurse Jiang

Nuan Nuan and Yang Xiaoguang are also present, and because some classmates from their class are participating in the report, Teacher Wang brought the class leaders to cheer them on.

Yang Xiaoguang appeared to have an epiphany, suddenly recalling something. He looked at Yihan, then at Nuannuan, and finally at the sunlight.

I am very grateful to my classmates for uncovering my artistic talents. Yihan made a thank-you note, which amused the two girls

It seems like boneless chicken strips

Yihan stood still to take a bow, expressing gratitude to the audience and teachers who deserved thanks, and concluded with a final remark

May our little princess always be beautiful and always be happy

Dressed in mystery, Nuan Nuan pouted her lips and continued to focus on her homework

The voice of Lin Mufeng came through

That person? Yang Xiaoguang squinted his eyes, feeling an unusual sense of familiarity.

Warm, sitting beside the bed and next to the writing desk, raised the folding desk lamp so that the light could illuminate the area for both individuals

Nuan Nuan was being pulled by Yang Xiao Guang and couldn't keep up with the pace, so she turned around and bumped into someone.

A face as small as a palm, with striking and profound features. After applying makeup, the eyes sparkle with vitality, and the cheeks radiate a glow

Yang Xiaoguang hurriedly swallowed the shrimp chips in his mouth

Nuan Nuan shifted the topic and also provided an opportunity for everyone to step down: "I need to go see what our classmate Wang Yihan is up to."

Upon arriving home, there was a large cake placed on the table in the living room

She stood up and tidied the bedding

It is sunny again

This implicit compliment instantly elevated Nuan Nuan's status, making her seem, at first glance, no less formidable than Lu Xiao, the first place contender.

"It doesn't matter, I am truly grateful to you all." This sentence was spoken by Nuan Nuan to the three of them, her voice slightly trembling and hoarse.

At this moment, Nuan Nuan felt an indescribable sense of comfort. Yi Han placed a hand on Nuan Nuan's shoulder, his left foot slightly resting against his right, not shying away from their intimacy in front of others, and asked once more with certainty: "Am I right?"

Yang Xiaoguang swallowed the last bite of shrimp chips, and Yi Han casually picked up the nearby microphone stand and waved it around a couple of times. Just as she was about to open her mouth to scream a few times, she saw Nuan Nuan beside her cupping her hands around her mouth and unabashedly shouting a few "Yay". Not wanting to be outdone, she joined Nuan Nuan in the cheers and screams.

Fang Zhu said: "With a grasp of the willow, a thousand charms and a hundred beauties emerge"

That year, Nuan Nuan was in her second year of high school. Yi Han had also been admitted to Beizhong and was currently in his first year of high school

What is this?" Yang Xiaoguang was shocked by the bad news, glaring fiercely at the sunlight, feeling that the sunlight had bluntly hurt her fragile pride in front of everyone. Fang Zhu, who was left out to the side, was also uncomfortable, his expression extremely unnatural.

"Are you awake?" Yi Han turned around and pouted, "Nurse Jiang has brought breakfast."

This is a matter that the two have been accustomed to since childhood

"However, she is quite nice to you," Nuan Nuan said softly, her mind recalling the scene she had witnessed that day, which was truly very romantic and reminiscent of a comic.

Lu Xiao smiled sweetly at Nuan Nuan and said, "I am very pleased to meet you. Wang Yihan often mentions you, this sister, to us classmates!"

Yihan wore a deep blue school uniform, which accentuated her tall silhouette. She bent down to converse with a girl in what appeared to be a traditional dance costume. The bright makeup lights illuminated her face, outlining the distinct contours of her nose and lips, with sparse eyebrows and bright eyes. As she spoke, her brows danced with expression, radiating vitality. It was a silhouette that warmed her heart, one she could sketch from memory at any time and place.

Yi Han and others left school together to go to the parking garage of No. 2 Middle School to retrieve their bicycles and head home

Nuan Nuan ran to pick it up

The next program is by Yi Han

The phone is ringing

Yang Xiaoguang saw Yihan behind Nuan Nuan, feeling a somewhat expected surprise: "When did you come back?"

One cannot help but feel a sense of relief; although my father remains in a coma, it seems that his condition is gradually improving. The initial pallor on his face has faded, replaced by a calm and serene expression, as if he is not struggling on the brink of life and death, but rather peacefully sleeping in a gentle dream.

The light bulb is broken. Nuan Nuan leaned closer to the table lamp to take a look

Among the few people outside the door, a beautiful oval face and a graceful figure flashed by. Upon noticing that someone was paying attention to her, she lowered her gaze and hurriedly withdrew from the crowd, leaving.

As the prelude began, Yang Xiaoguang nearly choked, pointing at the stage, unable to utter a sound for a moment

After a bout of laughter and noise, Lu Xiao waved goodbye to them, and her figure gradually receded into the distance

I can't help but say: "We can form a complete mahjong table now"

Within a radius of one meter, everyone bursts into laughter

Wang Xiaodi was accompanied by a light beauty! The male students of the student council were so captivated that their eyes widened.

He said he has a report performance. Nuan Nuan shrugged her shoulders

However, I couldn't help but salivate at the sight of this cake with a pudding layer, known as MUCH, and I swallowed hard.

The closing report performance of the middle school art festival was held in the newly completed grand and magnificent auditorium of the Second Middle School

You? Nuan Nuan put down her pen, feeling very curious, "Do you have a performance?"

Under the light, exceptionally adorable

Indeed! She tugged at the collar of her school uniform, saying, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it." As she spoke, she smiled cheerfully, her eyes sparkling.

Yi Han looked back, her warm long eyelashes fluttering, paired with an innocent expression

Oh dear! Nuan Nuan called.

When you were still unaware. Yihan shook his head and swayed, feeling quite pleased with himself

Yi Han turned over, propping her face up with her right hand, and said somewhat mysteriously: "Tomorrow I will return to No. 2 Middle School to report on the performance"

What a true connection

In addition to the leaders from the Education Bureau, the leaders from various schools, parent representatives, and student representatives from each school, there are also some class leaders from the Second High School present in the auditorium.

Fang Zhu is still an old advanced student, a member of the student council, assisting teachers with some logistical work for the arts festival and receiving guests' reports

This is truly a surprise. Nuan Nuan is indeed filled with a mix of surprise and emotion

The boy in the same school uniform is much more pleasant to look at than the one just now

Is she the one whose skirt was torn by your bicycle after the essay competition

The filament in the light bulb has burned out, and I need to buy a new one tomorrow. Seeing that Nuan Nuan is still studying her little nose in the mirror, I also need to buy acne ointment.

This sunshine always manages to ruin an otherwise pleasant atmosphere

"What does it mean?" Nuan Nuan tilted her head and asked

The sunlight stood behind the girls, warmly smiling with a hint of apology, lowering its voice to say: "Yesterday, a colleague from the project team couldn't find the completed project proposal, so I had to go back to look for it. Just then, the boss caught me and took me to negotiate with a client. I didn't expect the discussion to last until eight or nine at night, and I still had to rush out the project plan to deliver to the client today. The hospital here has already passed visiting hours, and they won't let me in. I kept trying to call your phone, but it was always unreachable." I kept trying to call your phone, but it was always unreachable.

Open, Lin Mufeng's elegant handwriting

"You will know soon enough." Yihan feigned mystery

Yihan pushed the bicycle through the crowded crowd, watching Nuan Nuan negotiate with the vendors, positioning himself sideways behind Nuan Nuan, forming a triangle with the bicycle to surround her and prevent the crowd from pressing in on her

"Hey! Our math class representative is so diligent," Yang Xiaoguang exclaimed

Yihan approached and said: "So you can achieve second place in the entire city just by staring at the ginkgo tree."

When Yi Han turned around, he easily saw Nuan Nuan. She waved her hand, ran over, and placed her hands on her hips

It's alright, Dad, I saved some dishes and left some cake for you

Father has always advocated for the protection of eyesight Warm warmly said as she put on her apron and Yi Han naturally helped her tie the straps from behind

Do not rush. Yi Han pressed down on the warm shoulder and turned on the room's fluorescent light

Considered an exclamation, the classmate beside turned around, agreeing that the description was apt

One will develop a hunchback over time

Yihan lay on the bed doing homework, hunching his back

"Are you going to perform in this outfit?" Nuan Nuan pointed at the clothes on Yi Han's body.

Lin Mufeng's approach to education has always involved ensuring that those around him feel as if they are bathed in a spring breeze. This kind of politeness stems from the heart, bringing joy to others, which in turn brings joy to oneself. As for Yi Han, he excels particularly in this regard

"How can the old eight-legged essays appreciate the new youth art of the 1990s?" Nuan Nuan continued to encourage.

At the end of the performance, the entire audience shouted "Encore"

Tilting his head in contemplation, he thought, "It shouldn't be any of the four arts of the guqin, chess, calligraphy, or painting, right? I haven't seen you in any of the competitions at our school."

Recently, I have been inexplicably comparing Yihan with other boys around me

There is no need to sigh; it is a normal phenomenon of hormonal secretion during puberty

Yi Han lay on his back, his hands covering the back of his head, a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth

The backstage dressing room is bustling with noise, as actors from various schools are actively preparing, some applying makeup while others are rehearsing

Nuan Nuan furrowed her brows, glancing at the bamboo below and then at the sunlight. The student in front of her, bathed in sunlight, still appeared rather unfriendly. If it were Yi Han, he certainly would not have allowed the situation to become so awkward

He has always been a handsome boy, ever since he was little, thought Nuan Nuan

I returned yesterday. " Yihan withdrew her gaze from the sunlight and replied to Yang Xiaoguang

Yihan leaned over.

The performance concluded, with the highlight being Wang Yihan's "Heartless Sleep," yet it did not win any awards. An elderly principal in the district expressed considerable disappointment, stating during his summary that contemporary youth should not blindly imitate the decadent music from Hong Kong and Taiwan, as it adversely affects their physical and mental development. He also harshly criticized the dance "Tea Mountain Love Song" from Beizhong. Ultimately, the award went to a ballet performance titled "Red Detachment of Women" from a certain school

Wang Xiaodi's birthday gift is truly extraordinary, Fang Zhu exclaimed

As he began to sing, his movements completely mimicked those of Leslie Cheung. At this point, Yihan had already smoothly passed through the voice change period, his voice rich and clear. Although his timbre was naturally different from the original singer's, the rhythm was excellent, showcasing his own unique style. Being a tall and handsome young man, he danced with wild abandon and elegance, and the school uniform he wore only accentuated his carefree demeanor. His gaze, in sync with his singing, swept across every corner of the venue, and almost everyone was touched, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the entire audience. Being a tall and handsome young man, he danced with wild abandon and elegance, and the school uniform he wore only accentuated his carefree demeanor.

Warmly smiling, she said: "The little hoof is going crazy with hunger"

Thinking to myself, I shake my head; I have truly reached the age of indulging in fanciful thoughts

"You danced wonderfully today," Nuan Nuan first said to Lu Xiao, "a talented young lady who excels in both literature and dance"

Nurse Jiang saw Nuan Nuan and said, "Your father's intern is outside and wants to visit the patient. Director Hu said that the intensive care unit is a restricted area and does not allow so many people to enter."

Nuan Nuan felt that such intimacy in front of so many people was somewhat inappropriate. Seeing Fang Zhu and Yang Xiao Guang exchanging ambiguous smiles, Lu Xiao's expression stiffened slightly, feeling quite embarrassed. She then released Yi Han's hand and said: "Alright, stop flattering me. I am looking forward to your performance."

Yi Han waved goodbye to Nuan Nuan and the others, and quickly left with Lu Xiao.

I don't know, I haven't seen the program list either," Fang Zhu expressed her helplessness

At least for Nuan Nuan, it is like this

Yihan does not seem satisfied with her evaluation, and she accuses: "Do you think I want to show off like this? Who am I working hard and busy for?"

The requirements are quite high

"Sunshine, why aren't you participating in the art festival's program report? You sing so well." Fang Zhu came over with a book, a bit timidly, yet mustering the courage to ask.

Yihan quietly stood behind Nuan Nuan, his gaze sweeping over Yang Xiaoguang and Fang Zhu, finally resting on Yang Guang. Yang Guang also felt Yihan's gaze and looked back at him, slightly raising an eyebrow before turning to the somewhat flustered Nuan Nuan

Yihan put away the broken light bulb and unplugged the desk lamp.

Braised pork with fish. Tighten the warm skirt strings to emphasize.

Just as I thought of Nurse Jiang, she walked in, followed by three individuals.

After purchasing light bulbs and acne ointment, Yihan followed Nuannuan to the unlicensed vegetable market around the new village to select pork and mackerel fillets

"Little gossip is just a little bit, you will know when the performance report comes later," said Nuan Nuan

Fate has made us adversaries; she is the monitor of our class, and I was punished to serve as the duty student for a week due to the resentment from that incident with the skirt

Yes, Sir

On a warm and gentle morning, I woke up feeling extremely fatigued. Turning my head to look for Yi Han, I found him assisting the nurse in helping Lin Mufeng turn over and wash his body

Today is also my sister's birthday, wishing her a happy birthday!" After saying this, she winked at Nuan Nuan

Tomorrow I will return triumphantly to my alma mater

Ha! Congratulations to our classmate Wang Yihan for transforming from a caterpillar into a heartthrob. Nuan Nuan gave Yihan a hearty pat on the shoulder

The warm gaze effortlessly passed over the crowd in front, catching a glimpse of a figure in front of a makeup mirror in the corner.

Fortunately, you do not have a performance tomorrow; otherwise, it would be embarrassing for both my father and me

Lu Xiaola said to Yi Han: "It will be our turn soon"

Without my supervision, where would your progress come from

With graceful brows and eyes, a slender waist like a willow

"Nuan Nuan, your boyfriend and your classmates have all arrived," Nurse Jiang greeted Nuan Nuan.

A night should be dreamless, yet it feels as if the past unfolds vividly like scenes from a movie, endlessly recurring

"Let's go, we will watch from the front row." Fang Zhu led them through the small path behind the stage to the front row of the venue

Was pinched hard by Fang Zhu

What! Nuan Nuan quickly covered her nose, picked up the small mirror on the table, looked left and right, her face filled with despair, "It's over, it's over."

"Let's go buy light bulbs and acne cream!" Yihan casually held onto the warm hand and together they turned into the parking garage of No. 2 Middle School

Several shadows linger in front of the ward door, timidly, none of them have entered, peering through the window.

You are also quite the gossip. Yang Xiaoguang quickly pulled someone down with him, saying, "I want to see the beautiful woman." As he spoke, he attempted to drag Nuan Nuan to the backstage.

Yihan gently opened the cake box lid, took a little fresh cream with her finger, and put it in her mouth to taste. She was hit on the hand by Nuannuan

Everyone in the ward glanced towards the door, and Yi Han let out a slight "Oh" as Nuan Nuan looked over

The two individuals are examining the light bulb, their noses touching at the tips.

The sun furrowed its brow, gazing at the three girls before it

I have seen your dog, Wang Xiaodi

Fang Zhu said: "Yesterday, both Xiaoguang and I were unable to find the time to keep you company through the night, so we agreed to visit Uncle Lin this morning, and we happened to run into Yang Guang at the door."

The three girls' eyes lit up, and an old phrase popped into their minds, which was "radiantly beautiful"

Yi Han retracted his hand and suddenly said to Nuan Nuan in a serious manner: "I will not let you down"

The sun indeed managed to force out a polite smile, and in a淡淡的 tone said: "I am not very interested in the art festival. The math exam papers have been graded, Yang Xiaoguang, you have failed this time. Teacher Chen wants you to wait in his office."

Fang Zhu did not know from which classmate he had obtained a shrimp stick, and stuffed it into Yang Xiaoguang's mouth, "Silence is golden."

After speaking, I pulled Yang Xiaoguang and Fang Zhu away. As we turned into the backstage, I caught a glimpse of Yang Guang walking alone towards the depths of the corridor, enveloped in solitude

"This is my classmate, Lu Xiao," Yi Han introduced. "This is our classmate Lin Nuan Nuan, and her classmates A and B."

Nuan Nuan casually tapped his back with a book

What does he perform? Having known him for so many years, I never realized he had an artistic flair?" Yang Xiaoguang continued to ask Fang Zhu, "What does he perform?"

Go to hell! Nuan Nuan threw the pillow at Yi Han, who was waiting to catch it.

"Wang Yihan!" Someone called out, it was Lu Xiao, who ran up from behind them

At night, a large portion of the cake was left, cut into pieces, some for father, and some for breakfast the next day for myself and Yihan. The leftover food was carefully stored, each item placed in the refrigerator.

"What song are you singing?" Yang Xiaoguang asked curiously

Nuan Nuan felt a sense of familiarity, and after a moment of thought, it dawned on her: "I have long heard of your esteemed name, the first place winner of the city essay competition back in the day!"

It turns out to be "Unintentional Sleep"! The warmth is incredible, with a prolonged tone.

"It’s nothing to worry about, Uncle Lin will be fine." As he spoke, he held Nuan Nuan's hand tightly, wanting to instill boundless confidence in her

Lu Xiao felt a bit shy when Lin Nuan Nuan mentioned the honors from years ago, lowering her eyebrows and curving her lips to reveal two small rabbit teeth: "I remember you too, spending most of the time daydreaming in front of the ginkgo tree at our school while writing essays."

Yihan tilted her face and saw the long, warm eyelashes fluttering, smiling slyly: "Lin Nuan Nuan, you have a pimple on your nose."

Alright, tonight I will grant you a large bowl of braised pork.

Correct, you have a keen eye

"It would have been better if you had returned at this time," Fang Zhu said with a sense of relief, casting a meaningful glance at Yi Han.

Once again, a warm sense of gratitude stirred within her heart, her eyes misting over as she asked in a husky voice, "How come all of you are here?"

Nuan Nuan sharply finished the negotiation, holding the greasy vest bag, and casually handed it to Yi Han, who effortlessly hung it on the front of the car in one smooth motion

There are soy milk and pan-fried buns on the bedside table, Nurse Jiang is truly meticulous in her preparations

Yihan ran out of the warm room

Understood, understood. Nuan Nuan picked up the vest bag and went to the kitchen, sweating profusely

Thank you for their concern! said Nuan Nuan

Add the target fish

The lights suddenly flickered a few times and then went out with a "pop".

Nuan Nuan exclaimed

"When will you sing this song?" Nuan Nuan asked, her heart filled to the brim with unexpected joy

Lu Xiao and several classmates indeed performed a folk dance, accompanied by the music of Yang Yuying's "Tea Mountain Love Song". The girls dancing moved gracefully and lightly, exuding a lively and cheerful spirit

It is the tuple MUCH

Nuan Nuan remembers meeting Lu Xiao at the district's middle school art festival

First wash your hands before eating

You and Yihan should eat well, do your homework diligently, and rest early

Yihan nodded slightly to Fang Zhu

Yihan also approached and twisted the light bulb open

After speaking, I sat down at the desk, took out a small mirror, and examined the acne on my nose. I sighed deeply
