Chapter 10, The Love of Seven Colors

Nuan Nuan shook her head

Yang Xiaoguang pulled Nuan Nuan to peek inside the classroom door

I will go to work first

"Little nanny." Yihan, in disheveled pajamas, stretched lazily and called out to Nuannuan, who had run into her room

Why did Yi Han go to school so early? And he went with a female classmate." Lin Mufeng's face showed a hint of displeasure and suspicion

Nuan Nuan followed him as he took a step forward

The basic steps that Dad taught last time have already been learned. Nuan Nuan is focused on the flame on the gas stove

Subconsciously lowering my head to glance at my deep blue apron, it does appear somewhat untidy

Yihan's steps are indeed skilled, but it is unclear how long she has been practicing; she still does not appear as relaxed and natural as Lin Mufeng. In fact, it is impossible to be relaxed and natural in the narrow kitchen. One must also be careful not to bump into the teacups, water kettles, and rice bowls.

Nuan Nuan was concerned that they all had to go to work, and did not want to keep them for too long. She closely monitored her father in the hospital bed, and in their conversations, she was often distracted.

Then sweeping and dusting, up and down, inevitably creates a clattering sound

Hmph! Nuan Nuan raised her head and pouted

Yihan went to the bathroom to wash and comb her hair, while Nuan Nuan returned to the kitchen and turned on the tape recorder to play music

Slowly approaching, I gradually feel the warmth on her skin

In high school, I was a classmate of Wang Yihan, and later I was admitted to medical school. During my graduate internship, I was unexpectedly assigned to Lin Mufeng's department.

"I really want to see the whole thing. Yang Xiaoguang said that only Hong Kong sells the discs. She wants to ask her relatives to bring them over. I don't even know how long I have to wait until it's her turn to watch enough to show me." said Nuan Nuan in a warm and muffled tone

The pot on the gas stove emits a hissing sound

Yihan got up to turn off the gas and went to the bathroom to change clothes

Yang Xiaoguang gently pats Nuan Nuan's hand

"Can one dance in this attire?" She pointed to her own clothes and then to Yihan's clothes.

Nuan Nuan was indeed curious and wanted to explore the authenticity of Yi Han's dancing, disregarding the incongruity of their attire.

Nuan Nuan will also get up early to make porridge or soak rice

You all take your time chatting, I will stay here watching Dad

Both the boy and the girl lowered their heads as expected, their foreheads touching, gazing at their feet, fearful of making a mistake, and even more afraid of the bewilderment that this situation might bring.

It is also quite heartbreaking

But those words, if one can endure not to speak them for a moment, then let them remain unspoken

This is my family

Upon arriving at school, it was supposed to be the English class representative leading the morning reading, but more than half of the people in the classroom had vanished.

Lu Xiao has always had an unbreakable connection with the Lin family

I do not understand! Yihan's fingers gripped the back of the chair tightly, the knuckles slightly turning white, as she spoke, "Why do fifteen years not compare to a few months?"

Yang Xiaoguang said proudly: "You probably don't know, but it is said that it was taught hand-in-hand by Yang Guang. Teacher Xiao Wang selected them to be the grade representatives for the school's demonstration performance!"

It is the sunlight and square bamboo, the boy is wearing a black tailcoat, and the girl is wearing a white long dress

Because of your incessant nagging, my ears are going to develop calluses

Suddenly feeling fortunate, that day was during a phone call

Warmly opening the door, it is Lu Xiao

Nuan Nuan turned back to ask, and Yi Han had already walked up to her. At seventeen, he was a whole head and a half taller than her at the same age, and when she looked up at him, it always felt like a strain.

"Then, I love you; this is a habit I have developed since childhood." Yihan declared firmly, looking at Nuan Nuan, who finally met his gaze with confusion, "I do not wish to change this habit"

Recalling the paintings from many years ago

Yihan also watched Nuan Nuan, who was looking up with a slightly dazed expression. Her hair hung down loosely, her sleeves were rolled up, and her apron was tightly cinched at the waist, causing the hem of her skirt to puff out slightly. This reminded one of the little witch from Gong Qijun.

What is there to be afraid of? You are just like our Lin Nuan Nuan, a pair of difficult sisters under the pressure of mathematics and science.

Nuan Nuan, please take care and look after yourself, we are leaving now

When one is sad, when one is excited, with tears welling in the eyes, a gentle flutter of the eyelashes can lead to an overflow of tears. So fragile, so lacking in resilience

Yihan's voice grew increasingly cold: "Do you really think that is just a habit?"

Nuan Nuan pointed to her own eyelashes and said to her grandmother: "Nuan Nuan's eyelashes are also beautiful, curly and long, like a doll"

I wish I could remain forever ungrown, living a carefree childhood and adolescence guided solely by simple intuition

It can be hung on the oil bottle

Warm and thoughtful, she suddenly thought of a question: who taught Yihan to dance the waltz

Later, she stopped answering his calls, fleeing from home and distancing herself from him. She knew that on the other side, Yihan did not yet have sufficient financial means to travel freely between the two countries and return personally to investigate her thoroughly.

I do not want to think about so much; I just want my father to wake up quickly

Knock knock knock. Someone is knocking at the door

"How is your waltz practice going?" Yihan asked while brushing her teeth

Knock knock knock! The sound of knocking at the door interrupted the urgent tension between the two.

Fang Zhu placed one hand on Nuan Nuan's shoulder and the other hand on Yang Xiaoguang's shoulder

Nuan Nuan looked at the two men in front of her

"You are not concentrating." Yihan squatted down to look at her feet

Two people are dancing in front of the window, a beam of sunlight falls upon the young man and woman, illuminating their formal attire. Fang Zhu looks up at the sunlight, which in turn seems to gaze down at him. The meeting of the eyes between the beautiful boy and girl is truly wonderful.

Nuan Nuan said with surprise: "Big lazy pig, it's rare to see you being diligent"

Nuan Nuan gazed at the backs of the two individuals, both tall and slender, and suddenly felt a pang of bitterness in her heart

Yihan finished washing her face and strolled into the kitchen

Young boys and girls involuntarily let their hearts drift away with the divine

Each has something to say

Warm's grandmother once said that Wang Yihan is both smart and handsome, especially his pair of eyes, which are the most beautiful, with pupils that are pitch black and bright, resembling the stars in the sky

The sunlight lingers until the end, bidding a warm farewell

So peculiar, so precious, once brought so much joy

"That is indeed very fairy-tale-like," Nuan Nuan murmured to herself, "When did Fang Zhu become so good at dancing?"

Wang Yihan was awakened

If Lu Xiao were really together with Yi Han, it should be quite good

Nuan Nuan was left with nowhere to hide under Yi Han's piercing gaze

"Is Yihan here?" Nuan Nuan asked

Gently extending her hand to Yi Han, their fingertips touched, and almost simultaneously, they carefully grasped each other's hands.

Nurse Jiang left the ward for Nuan Nuan and her friends, only advising them not to linger too long, as patients require rest and recuperation

There is no farewell in the statements

However, in this narrow space, the two individuals bumped into each other, proceeding cautiously, as they turned out one circle after another

"Look," Yang Xiaoguang pointed at a pair of classmates.

Perhaps we have been together for too long, leading to the illusion of mistaking habit for love, yet it remains merely a habit

Then, to say it all in one breath, coherently and without pause

As Nuan Nuan set down her backpack, she saw Yang Xiaoguang entering with rhythmic dance steps while humming a little tune. Upon noticing Nuan Nuan's arrival, he ran over with a mischievous expression.

Standing in front of the door is Lu Xiao, dressed in a neat school uniform, with the zipper of the uniform half open, revealing a pink collared T-shirt, the latest model from ESPRIT for autumn. This attire is simple yet exquisite

He has always kept a buzz cut, taking pleasure in grooming it. At this moment, with his back to the kitchen, the morning sunlight streaming in through the window, his features seem to be touched by the radiance of the sun, the contours of one cheek distinctly bright and clear

Everything appears to be perfect

Warmly, she slightly raised her head and saw Yi Han bending down.

Exactly! Nuan Nuan got up, took a bowl, and served herself some rice porridge, all the while shouting.

Nuan Nuan wants to ease the tense atmosphere and is somewhat eager

What is the use of having long and beautiful eyelashes

The situation is lingering, and the state is ambiguous

That T-shirt was seen by Nuan Nuan when she went shopping with Yang Xiao and Guang Fang Zhu, priced at over 200. All three girls tried it on, and it looked the most flattering on Nuan Nuan. However, she could not accept the price, so she gave up on it

Then I will verify the results

She hesitantly spoke: "It turns out, none of us truly understand what love really is."

My Family

The music teacher and the physical education teacher are leading a waltz, while several pairs of students nearby are dancing along.

"Sister Nuan Nuan, is Wang Yihan there?" Lu Xiaowei smiled, her tone bright and friendly

If faced with such a gaze from Yihan, she would probably be unable to utter even half a sentence

You do not need to waste money coming back; I believe we should each take a moment to calm down and reflect on our own mistakes

Yihan tapped a rhythm with his mouth, his chin gently lowered to the side of Nuan Nuan's warm head, gazing at the fallen black hair on her fair and delicate neck. In the sunlight, the shadows of the two gradually merged into one. He slowly tightened his arms.

With a turn, Nuan Nuan gazed at the glass of the cabinet opposite her, reflecting Yi Han in pajamas and herself in an apron, a mix of intimacy and strangeness. A playful surge emerged from her little flutter of emotions, feeling quite adorable and interesting, prompting her to take a few more glances. Lost in thought for a moment, she misstepped, unexpectedly stepping on Yi Han's foot.

Nuan Nuan is a child who calculates every cent and dime spent on flowers, never willing to add more burden to her father's life

"That is, you promised to help me with physics, how could I be late?" As she spoke, Lu Xiaoyang raised the sandwich in her hand, "I brought a tribute."

Lu Xiaodian nodded and looked at Yi Han, "I am looking for you"

Yi Han raised an eyebrow, tied his shoelaces, stood up, and looked at Nuan Nuan, but only for a brief moment

You have arrived quite early

Somewhat timidly, gazing at Nuan Nuan

"Disgusting." Nuan Nuan casually hit Yi Han once, "This is a truly GREAT concert."

The two individuals locked eyes, then hurriedly turned away, focusing only on their steps beneath them

The relationships between people can sometimes be so closely intertwined that it is beyond comprehension

Half the room is bathed in sunlight, while the other half is shrouded in shadow, occasionally enveloping one of them, evenly dividing the youthful waltz of the young man and woman, as if tightly wrapping the two together

Indeed, seeing Lu Xiao dressed like this in front of me appears transparent and beautiful, which is certainly enviable

Well, yes. How did you know

Dad, Nuan Nuan organized her expressions and forced a smile.

Yi Han's body remained stiff, and deep down, she was still feeling unhappy

Nuan Nuan's expression was rather calm as she said, "Then you should quickly go tutor your classmates, today Dad's breakfast is on me." After agreeing, she waved goodbye.

Wave goodbye

You have finally arrived, come on, I will take you to see the fairy tale scene

Warm and speechless, this boy, who grew up with her as childhood sweethearts, once again left her at a loss for words

It is better to have a pair of expressive black eyes, which can convey emotions and intentions, yet can also impose a sense of oppression that leaves one with no escape.

Stopping in front of the music classroom, a crowd of heads was bobbing; it was Teacher Wang and several classmates from the same class who were watching.

Yihan quickly grabbed her backpack and rushed to the door to put on her shoes

Gradually, a tacit understanding emerged, revealing the youthful dance that fluttered gracefully. Deep blue and light blue leaped under the sunlight, basking in its brilliance

Seeing her rushing over to fold the quilt for me, I hurriedly reached out to stop her, saying, "I can do it myself"

Nuan Nuan turned on the radio again

Yi Han stood upright, his back exuding an air of pride, each of them on guard against one another

"Ha, I am a genius." Yihan made a right-angle gesture with his chin, hugged his knees, and said, "The atmosphere was so good just now, but it was ruined by your strange shout."

Yihan took the sandwich from Lu Xiaoshan's hand

Warmly exhaling, lowering the head to rub the feet

Yihan poured herself some pickles, eating while confirming with Nuan Nuan: "Is it the concert across 97?"

Nuan Nuan, I am sorry

Just yesterday, they were still children, vying for attention and affection in front of the adults

Yihan extended another hand, cautiously placing it at the edge of her clothing at the waist and back, through the warm fabric.

We will all be by your side

Fang Zhu understood Nuan Nuan's thoughts and exchanged a glance with Yang Xiao Guang

Nuan Nuan nodded and watched him leave

In a moment of reflection, I find that my mood this morning is truly absurd and convoluted, filled with all sorts of peculiarities

Yihan said to Nuan Nuan: "I am going to school first, I need to tutor our class leader in physics, she just stumbled in the midterm physics exam."

Father has returned. Nuan Nuan ran to open the door

He would not do this either, because Lin Mufeng has always told them: "You must leave time and space for others; relentless pursuit is impolite"

"Keeping time." Yi Han decisively reached out to turn off the radio, then took a step forward, softly counting the beats to himself.

"Tap, tap, tap," a steady sound of footsteps approached. Lin Mufeng held a small pot in one hand, containing fried dough sticks, and in the other hand, he carried a plastic vest bag filled with meat and vegetables as he walked over

Though companions on the path, akin to sisters, we remain so even now

Once upon a time, three little girls, with their backpacks, skipped and hopped hand in hand to school

In the morning program, the DJ is enthusiastically recommending his favorite album

Now, facing each other, we hold each other's hands in this adult manner

The two individuals remained silent, and the only sound in the room was the rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor, indicating that the patient on the bed was in a stable state of coma

"I am helping my classmate with tutoring!" Nuan Nuan said as she took the items from her father's hands and arranged them one by one on the table

Lin Mufeng usually wakes up early to go to the local market to buy vegetables and breakfast, which typically includes fried dough sticks and rice cakes, whenever he can make it to work on time

Lin Mufeng lay peacefully on the hospital bed, his expression serene

Yet Yi Han has always been more composed than her

This handsome young man stands before her on such a bright and clear morning, dressed in a disheveled, wrinkled pajamas, with a somewhat intimate posture that feels both slightly unfamiliar and dizzying. Despite the fact that he is someone she knows so well, having grown up together since childhood.

The sunlight wanted to reach out and pat the warm head, and then glanced at Yi Han.

No major issues

Reveal my short.

This statement is suggestive, and Nuan Nuan certainly understands it, even feeling a hint of schadenfreude.

Because on that day, she did not have to see Yihan's dark eyes, she could calmly say to Yihan:

In fact, being so close, one can feel the other's breath

You are all sixteen or seventeen now, and you are adults, so it is inevitable that you will have some adult thoughts. However, since you are still minors, you must be cautious in dealing with certain matters.

On a fine morning, with a good mood, I and Yihan were dancing in the kitchen, but for some inexplicable reason, everything turned messy.

Do you also know? When did you learn it?

After speaking, I was struck by a small fist raised by Lu Xiaoyang

Our kitchen is too small. Nuan Nuan deflected responsibility, "When did you learn to dance?"

Yi Han slightly bent down, making a gesture inviting to dance: "There is nothing that cannot be done!" Her eyes carried a hint of proud momentum

Yi Han sat alone in front of Lin Mufeng's bed, lost in thought

He turned to look at Nuan Nuan, not allowing her gaze to escape him. His deep black eyes firmly locked onto Nuan Nuan's, filled with a subtle anger and confusion.

Warmly, she looked at the sky-blue pajamas he was wearing, then lowered her head to see the dark blue short apron tied around her own body

"Hurry, hurry, the pot is boiling," Nuan Nuan urged Yi Han.

He glanced at Yihan behind Nuan Nuan and softly said to her: "Take good care of yourself, and just say what needs to be said! This is the real Lin Nuan Nuan"

Nuan Nuan watched the two of them walk away, confirming her inner displeasure

I think we should end it here! I am the elder sister, and you are the younger brother, let's return to the past

Oh dear! He withdrew his hand, while the other hand was still held by Yihan. He took the opportunity to gently push Nuannuan onto the wooden bench behind her, allowing her to sit down gracefully, and then released her hand

There is no need to be polite, we have been friends for many years

Nuan Nuan turned to one side and opened the door wide

You are once again filled with righteous indignation. Yihan put on her school uniform and walked into the kitchen, naturally picking up the warm rice porridge that had just been served.

When his hand rested on her body, both of them slightly stiffened for a moment, each feeling somewhat unnatural.

They all study very well

What is it? Nuan Nuan, feeling perplexed, could only follow Yang Xiaoguang.

At this concert, Brother Leslie Cheung raised over one million in donations for the Hong Kong Cancer Fund for Children. However, it is somewhat regrettable that the media in Hong Kong, known for its gossip, focused its reports on Brother's performance in high heels and his declaration of love, rather than on the concert's high standards. This is indeed unfair to such a high-caliber event

Nuan Nuan also smiled: "I am having breakfast, come in and sit down!"

During this period of separation, I have been contemplating. I thought—I do not love you. Now, I have come to understand that fifteen years is too long, and I will no longer waste your time.

"I have always been diligent, but you have always preferred to take care of everything yourself." Yihan tidied up her bed, placed her hands on the warm shoulders, and pushed her to walk out of the room together

exceptionally handsome, exceptionally beautiful

Yihan walked over and said, "I have something to ask you as well"

The boy's loose pajamas gently fluttered at the hem, brushing against the girl's apron. The girl's long hair flowed gracefully, creating a black circle as she turned, before cascading down softly.

Yang Guang, Fang Zhu, and Yang Xiaoguang briefly chatted with Nuan Nuan, exchanging hurried words of concern and warmth

There is no music! Nuan Nuan spoke up, breaking the two people's wild thoughts, "The broadcast is noisy again"

I am truly flustered and confused, I sincerely apologize
