I just want to be a good person

Chapter 322 The Boy and Girl's Story
"On the banyan tree by the pond, Cicada is calling for summer~"

"On the swing by the playground, only butterflies rest on it~"

"The teacher's chalk on the blackboard is still writing desperately~"

"Waiting for get out of class to end~"

"Waiting for school~"

"Childhood waiting for the game..."

Shen Wang didn't know how those old men and women danced so happily to such childlike music.

But when the familiar melody sounded, he seemed to follow the song back to the 90s, back to the spring of a small town, back to that carefree childhood.

At that time, he hadn't moved yet, and he hadn't known Zhu Yao and Qi Mingkai yet.

The memory at that time was already very vague, but at this moment it became complete again in Duan Xinran's narration.

The story of the little boy and the little girl started in that summer, and ended abruptly in that summer just like Ticada.

……

"Little pill!"

The outer wall of the hospital is somewhat yellowed, and a huge banner with white characters on a red background is hung at the gate——

[Improve the health quality of the whole people and welcome the new century together! 】

By the side of the flower bed where there were only a few wilting roses planted, a little boy happily ran over, and opposite him was a little girl who was about the same age as him.

The little girl has pretty eyebrows and eyes, but her face is sickly white. What's more, she has no hair and her little head is bald.

But the boy didn't care about this, he sat down next to her, and asked excitedly, "Did you sneak out again?"

"Ah."

The girl nodded, looked at the small schoolbag on the boy's back, her eyes were full of envy: "Did you go to kindergarten today?"

"Of course I will!"

The boy pouted, and threw his schoolbag on the ground casually: "Actually, I don't want to go, but if I don't, my mother will beat me."

"Then what did you do today?"

The girl struggled to pick up the schoolbag, wiped off the dust and held it in her arms, and asked with some expectation, "Can you tell me about it?"

"Well... I didn't do anything."

The boy thought for a while, and began to describe his day in detail.

"The teacher taught us to sing in the morning, but Wang Xiaopang couldn't learn it anyway, he's so stupid..."

"I ate steamed stuffed buns at noon, and I only ate half of one. The teacher insisted that it was because I ate snacks secretly, and almost confiscated the candy I brought you..."

"Going to pile sand in the afternoon, it's so boring..."

The boy spoke casually, but the girl listened very seriously, as if these ordinary kindergarten daily routines were something she could not hope for.

"That's about it."

Soon, the boy finished speaking, and then asked curiously: "By the way, have you asked the doctor when you can go to kindergarten?"

"I asked."

When the girl heard this question, she was a little discouraged: "But the doctor uncle still said that I have to wait until I recover."

"Then get well soon!"

"But the treatment really hurts..."

The girl pouted aggrievedly: "Those medicines are also very bitter."

"It's okay! I'll bring you candy again today!"

The boy proudly took out a piece of hard fruit candy from his pocket, and emphasized: "As long as you eat a hundred sugar candies, you will be cured!"

"Uh-huh!"

The girl hastily took the candy from the boy's hand, tore off the package and gently put it in her mouth, and said vaguely in surprise, "Well... today is orange flavor!"

"Hey, I left it for you specially."

The boy patted his chest to show his contribution, and then asked, "Huh? How many candies have you eaten?"

"Well, 52!"

I don't know if it's because the sugar is delicious, and the girl's smile is very sweet.

"Well...that's not bad..."

The boy counted with his fingers for a long time, and finally came up with the answer: "58!"

"It's 48..."

"oh oh."

The boy was not shy at all, and made a bold promise: "You wait for the little pill, I will definitely bring you a hundred candies! Then we will go to the kindergarten together!"

"Uh-huh!"

The girl nodded again and again, and suddenly blushed inexplicably: "Shen Wang..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"I will marry you as my wife when I grow up, okay?"

"No! You don't have ugly hair!"

"When I recover from my illness, my hair will grow back!"

"Then let's wait until you grow your hair... At least it should be as long as Li Tingting's."

"Li, how long is Li Tingting's hair?"

"It's grown, almost to the waist!"

"Okay, I get it now……"

……

The whole summer passed quickly, and the girl silently counted the candy wrappers in the drawer every night. The number increased day by day, and finally reached 99 when the green leaves on the tree gradually turned yellow.

That night the girl was so excited that she didn't fall asleep all night, and even ran to the flower bed early the next morning, looking in a certain direction.

But until night fell, when the nurse took her hand and walked back to the ward, the boy did not appear.

On the second day and the third day... the girl would go to the flower bed to wait for the last candy every day, and then moved directly to the entrance of the boy's community.

But she never saw that bouncing figure again.

Even after two months, the doctor told her with a smile that she could go home to kindergarten, but the girl still felt that her illness was not cured.

Because the promised one hundred.

In fact, the boy fought hard on the day he moved and wanted to give the girl the last candy.

But it's a pity that adults don't care about such promises made as a child's joke.

"Okay, okay, mommy is going to deliver the candy to that little girl now!"

After leaving these words, Liu Xiujuan went out to play mahjong for three hours, and the boy quickly met new children.

Only the girl named "Little Pill" has never forgotten all this, and the boy who made her have the courage to face the pain.

She always remembered his name and his promise.

"Shen Wang, you still owe me a candy..."

……

"Dragonflies fly over in the sun, green paddy fields~"

"Watercolor crayons and kaleidoscopes can't draw that rainbow in the sky~"

"When will I be able to look like a senior, a local classmate with a mature and grown-up face~"

"Day after day, year after year~"

"Looking forward to the childhood of growing up..."

"Childhood" repeated several times is still echoing in my ears.

Shen Wang foolishly looked at the waist-length hair swaying slightly in the wind, and instantly understood everything.

Why did Duan Xinran have that attitude towards herself at the beginning, why she liked to eat that kind of hard candy, why WeChat was called "Little Pill", why did she ask herself if she still remembers when she was a child...

"Xinran, I..."

Opening his mouth, Shen Wang didn't know what to say for a while.

Because he has many puzzles.

Has Duan Xinran been looking for herself?Since he recognized himself a long time ago, why did he tell everything now?Then what kind of emotion does she have towards herself at this moment?
Duan Xinran seemed to have guessed Shen Wang's question, but he just smiled.

"Shen Wang..."

In the orange light of the sunset, the girl suddenly stretched out her hand to pinch the crimson sunset in the sky.

"Finding you is enough for me..."
