Chapter 8, what happened next
As for the one who has drifted apart, let him live on in memories, just like the old photographs in an album, taken out to look at during leisure, then put back after viewing, and carry on with what needs to be done
So if someone asks her, "What happened next?" her answer will definitely be—there is no next.
In Tang Xue's impression, her childhood was inextricably linked to a person named Li Yubing. Every corner of that memory bears his name and his presence
Li Yubing has moved into the school dormitory, and since his family no longer needs the landline, they have disconnected it. Who still uses a telephone these days? Everyone uses mobile phones now. Principal Tang continued to lie without changing his expression.
Although Principal Tang understands Li Yubing's urgent desire to break free from Tang Xue, he still cannot forgive this young man for deceiving Tang Xue. At the same time, Principal Tang believes that since he looks down on Tang Xue, there is no need for our Tang Xue to associate with such a person in the future; it is unnecessary to offer a warm face to someone who presents a cold rear.
Later, Tang Xue wrote several letters to Li Yubing, all of which vanished without a trace. She gradually lost her enthusiasm.
In September, Tang Xue officially became a middle school student. She changed into a new school uniform, a new backpack, and new stationery, and after sitting on the subway for more than half an hour, she finally arrived at her new school
... ...
Look again, still nothing.
Tang Xue is in Class 1, what about Li Yubing
Therefore, Principal Tang has added Li Yubing's home phone number to the blacklist
After persuading his daughter to leave, Principal Tang made a phone call to Li Yubing's mother
During this summer vacation after graduating from elementary school, Tang Xue had an exceptionally happy time, as her grandfather finally took her to Disneyland
Only the two of them are looking at the bulletin board
Principal Tang watched from the side, thinking to herself that her daughter was adorable even when angry, and she couldn't help but feel melancholic at the thought of which little rascal would take advantage of her in the future
Principal Tang nodded: "Thank you. I understand, I will just take a look... Have you found it?" The latter sentence is directed at Tang Xue.
The security guard kindly reminded them: "The class allocation information can be checked online by yourself"
She is looking for Li Yubing
"Has Li Yubing gone to school?"
During this summer vacation, Li Yubing went to a training camp abroad and was out of touch for two consecutive months
In order to prevent his daughter from being too sad, Principal Tang fabricated a story. When he eagerly picked up Tang Xue from school in the afternoon, he couldn't wait to share his flawless lie: "Li Yubing was indeed planning to come to Huaxi High School, but the First High School poached students by offering his family 100,000 yuan, and his parents agreed. Li Yubing felt too embarrassed to tell you himself. This is an internal secret, so just pretend you don't know, understand?" He eagerly recounted his flawless lie on the way: "Li Yubing was indeed planning to come to Huaxi High School, but the First High School poached students by offering his family 100,000 yuan, and his parents agreed. Li Yubing felt too embarrassed to tell you himself. This is an internal secret, so just pretend you don't know, understand?"
Tang Xue made new friends and started a new life at Huaxi Middle School. During her six years in middle school, she never saw Li Yubing again
Principal Tang was concerned about her own child, so she came over as well
Impossible
Principal Tang finally understood. ... This silly girl of mine ...
What happened later
Tang Xue arrived home and tried to call Li Yubing, but the call could not be connected. She asked her father what was going on
... ...
Although she has never ranked first in her class throughout her six years of elementary school, her grandfather feels that he is getting old and may not live much longer. What if he does not get to see the day when she achieves first place? Therefore, it is better to take her now, so as not to leave any lifelong regrets
In the sixth grade of elementary school, Tang Xue and Li Yubing are faced with the issue of choosing a school. Hucheng City is a large metropolis with a population of over ten million, and there are many secondary schools; however, there are only two top secondary schools: Hucheng No. 1 Middle School and Huaxi Middle School. Each of these two schools has its own unique characteristics, and every year countless parents strive to send their children to these two institutions.
Upon hearing this, Mama Li laughed, "Li Yubing is also in Class 1, so they can be classmates again. What a coincidence! Let's talk to the teacher later and see if they can be desk mates again"
However, do not worry, continue on your path, and you will encounter new people. There will be new laughter and joy to fill your world
Tang Xue can accept this result. She said, "So Li Yubing is worth so much? What about me? If I go to No. 1 High School, how much will they give me?"
Later, ah ... ...
Alright, let's search again, let's search again
Father said, life is just a road, and everyone is moving forward. You may temporarily become familiar with someone, sharing laughter and conversation, but as you continue walking, you may eventually part ways.
This is a clearance sale of leftover goods, not worth much. Please spare me the trouble and just stay honestly in Huaxi.
Principal Tang noticed that her daughter's complexion was not good, so she comforted her: "You go to class first, and I will call Li Yubing's home to find out."
Oh
Hello, Principal Tang? Has Tang Xue gone to school?
Tang Xue shook her head, "No."
Huh? What is Huaxi Middle School? Didn't Tang Xue say she wanted to go to No. 1 High School? Li Yubing said they had agreed to go to No. 1 High School together
A father and daughter stood in front of the bulletin board, tilting their necks and staring at the class assignment list on the board, their movements identical, clearly indicating their biological relationship
Li Yubing has also gone to school, which class is Tang Xue in? I didn't see you all when I took him to register today
Among the two schools, Huaxi Middle School offers a richer variety of extracurricular activities and boasts the best middle school ice skating team in the city. Tang Xue and Li Yubing have made plans to go to Huaxi Middle School together. Tang Xue has won awards in speed skating, so even if her entrance exam scores for junior high are slightly lower, it should not pose much of a problem; as for Li Yubing, there is even less to worry about. Not to mention extracurricular activities, just looking at academic performance, he is a sought-after student for both schools.
... ...
The regrets in your heart all stem from unfamiliarity
Principal Tang said: "Is it possible that they are not at this school?"
Hmph. Tang Xue puffed her cheeks.
Principal Tang secretly felt that something was amiss, "Wait, wait a moment, is Li Yubing at Huaxi High School?"
She thought she would never see him again in this lifetime
