round spring

The snow has stopped and the wind is still blowing.

——An Yuan's diary.

An Yuan hung up the phone, just in time to meet Wen Le coming back from lunch. Wen Le shrank his neck and held three lunch boxes in his arms. After entering the dormitory gate, he stamped his feet on the non-slip mat, patted his body and the top of his head of snow.

"Brother Le," An Yuan walked over, "I'll help you get the lunch box."

"Xiao Yuaner, why are you down here? I don't know if the food in the lunch box is cold." Wen Le handed An Yuan and Shen Xingchun's lunch boxes to him, "It's really too cold."

"I'll come down and call grandma." An Yuan took the lunch box and held it in both hands. "It's okay when it's cold. Two friends came to deliver the lunch."

"Great, let's have dinner with the two of you," Wen Le said with a smile, and then asked: "Where did you go this afternoon? Your brother has been looking downstairs for a long time from the window."

"Going out for a walk in the afternoon, is my brother looking at me by the window?"

"Look," Wen Le went upstairs with An Yuan. He was very cold and the steps were pounding loudly, "I stayed in the dormitory for half an hour after I came back from class, and your brother walked down with a cane. I looked at the bed several times."

An Yuan laughed silently, and kept stroking the side of the lunch box with her fingers, "I went out for a long time in the afternoon."

"Well, your brother said that you will go out in the afternoon."

"I won't go out tomorrow." An Yuan said.

Wen Le knew each other well, and after returning to the dormitory, he chatted with Qi Yunfeng and Geng Bai for a few words and they got acquainted.

Shen Xingchun asked Grandma An Yuan what she wanted from him, An Yuan told him, and Shen Xingchun guessed that it should be a relative of An Yuan's hometown.

An Yuan told Geng Bai again, asking him to keep an eye on the phone of a woman named Linda.

When Geng Bai heard the name, he asked him: "Linda, why does this name sound so foreign? Xiaoyuan, do you have any relatives abroad?"

An Yuan shook her head, "I don't know either, I never heard my dad mention it when I was young."

"I called at two o'clock in the evening. I guess they are abroad. There is a time difference with us." Wen Le also analyzed.

An Yuan didn't take it seriously, he felt in his heart that this phone call had nothing to do with him, even if they were relatives, they just called to care about him.

Qi Yunfeng and Geng Bai took out the food they had brought from the insulated lunch box, and the two long tables were packed to the brim.

"So many." Shen Xingchun glanced at it and said.

"I don't know that your leg is broken." Geng Bai took out a few pairs of chopsticks, "You can't eat some spicy ones, but you brought bone soup, drink more."

"It's not broken," Shen Xingchun repeated with a smile, "it's just a broken bone."

"That has to be taboo." An Yuan said.

After An Yuan finished speaking, she helped Shen Xingchun to sit on the edge of the bed, opened his lunch box, put the lid of the lunch box in front of him to use as a bowl, picked a lot of non-spicy dishes for him, and put them on the lid of his lunch box. The lid of the lunch box was full of vegetables, and An Yuan didn't stop until Shen Xingchun said with a smile that it was enough, poured him another bowl of bone soup, and finally gave him a pair of chopsticks.

"Brother, you eat." An Yuan said.

Wen Le looked dumbfounded by the side, moved the stool by himself, opened the lunch box by himself, took the chopsticks by himself, and said in a drawn-out voice, "Dachun, this treatment is only in your mouth."

Shen Xingchun took a bite of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and after swallowing, he said: "I think you are just jealous."

"I'm so jealous," Bunle said.

Qi Yunfeng and Geng Bai were used to it, so they didn't think there was anything wrong, so they found a stool to sit down and eat.

Geng Bai remembered the singing competition a few days ago, before An Yuan said to go with him, but thinking of Shen Xingchun's current legs, he confirmed it with him again.

"Xiao Yuan'er, Brother Xiao Ji and I participated in the singing competition on Saturday, will you still go with us? I will still take care of it with your brother."

Before An Yuan could speak, Wen Le put down his chopsticks, "Xiao Yuan, go and play, just stay in the dormitory, it will be boring after a long time, you don't have to worry about your brother, I don't have class on Saturday, I'll stay in the dormitory all the time, I can Take care of your brother."

Shen Xingchun ate two more mouthfuls of food, lowered his head and said to Wen Le, "Aren't you going to the library on Saturday?"

"I can read in the dormitory, same." Bunle said.

"Is the subject not busy?"

"It's okay, the progress can keep up."

"Your Saturday..." Shen Xingchun paused for a moment, unable to think of anything else Wenle could do on Saturday, he didn't finish his sentence, and bowed his head to eat two mouthfuls of vegetables and a few mouthfuls of soup.

An Yuan said from the side: "Brother Bai, I won't go, you compete with Brother Xiao Miao, Brother Xiao Li, and Brother Xiao Ji to cheer."

"Okay, I'll tell your little brother Ji." Geng Baihua was talking to An Yuan, and he glanced at Shen Xingchun's side face while eating vegetables with his head down, but he couldn't see what expression he had.

"Talk to Brother Miao and Brother Xiao Li too." An Yuan added.

Geng Bai was still staring at Shen Xingchun's profile, and said with a smile: "Say it, I'll say it for you, Brother Xiao Ji, come on, Brother Xiao Miao, come on, Brother Xiao Li, come on."

"Brother Xiaobai, do your best too." An Yuan added with a smile.

Before Qi Yunfeng and Geng Bai went back at night, they asked Shen Xingchun about the reexamination time, and said they would come back when Shen Xingchun went to the hospital for reexamination, An Yuan sent them off, and grabbed Geng Bai at the door.

"What's wrong?" Geng Bai asked.

"Brother Bai, do you know any place that sells voice recorders?"

"What do you want the recorder for?"

An Yuan didn't tell them about Wu Qian, and she couldn't explain a word or two about this messy misfortune. She only said that she used it, and Geng Bai didn't ask much, but asked when he would use it.

An Yuan told him that the sooner the better, Geng Bai said to send it to him in two days.

Geng Bai came the next morning, the snow had stopped, but the wind was still strong.

Only An Yuan was in the dormitory, Shen Xingchun started class today, An Yuan dropped it off in the morning, Wen Le told him that he didn't need to pick it up at noon, he and his classmates would just send Shen Xingchun back.

An Yuan didn't expect Geng Bai to come so quickly, brought him a recorder, and told him about Linda's phone call in the morning.

"Linda is in Washington now, and she will arrive in Beijing three days later. She said she wanted to see you and asked me for your address." Geng Bai said standing at the door of the dormitory.

An Yuan thought that Linda would only call him at most to ask him and care about him. He didn't expect that she would come to Beijing, but since the other party was coming, he had no reason not to see him, so he responded directly, "Okay, come I'll go with my brother then."

Geng Bai was still standing at the door, An Yuan let him in to keep warm.

Geng Bai didn't go in. He had other things to do, so he left after talking to An Yuan.

An Yuan tried the recorder in the dormitory, and got familiar with the functions. It is very simple to use, just turn on the switch when recording. The sound quality is very clear, and the sound can be recorded clearly even in the pocket.

He played with the recorder all morning in the dormitory, estimated the time at noon, and went out of the dormitory to pick up Shen Xingchun. He still had the recorder Geng Bai gave him in his pocket, and wanted to show it to Shen Xingchun.

When he arrived in Shen Xingchun's classroom, there were not many people there. An Yuan asked Shen Xingchun's classmates, and they said that Shen Xingchun left with Wen Le.

An Yuan had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the dormitory. He said it was a coincidence that when he wanted to take a shortcut back to the dormitory, he saw Wu Qian in a hidden corner of the small flower bed behind the teaching building.

There was a man standing next to Wu Qian. That man was wearing a military overcoat. He looked tall and strong. He had a cigarette in his mouth and had a fierce look on his face. The two were talking, pushing and shoving each other.

Wu Qian seemed very impatient, the man smoked a lot, and took half a cigarette in one gulp.

An Yuan watched from a distance, touched the recording pen in his pocket, looked sideways on the way back to the boys' dormitory, hesitated, finally took out the pen from his pocket, turned on the switch, wrapped his face, Hide around the corner.

"Ge Chuan, can you stop following me? This is the school, do you have to make trouble until everyone knows about it?" It was Wu Qian who spoke, with a clear cry in her voice.

"I'll follow you today, you have to go to the teacher's place today." Ge Chuan's voice was thick and heavy due to the smoke.

"I've told you many times that this matter has nothing to do with Shen Xingchun."

After Ge Chuan finished smoking, he blew the butt aside, grabbed Wu Qian's wrist, and pulled her towards him twice.

"It's okay? How about lying to ghosts? Thinking of me as a fool? It's okay, you will write him a love letter? It's okay, he will send you to the hospital? Wu Qian, you married me when you were eighteen, and my family paid for you when you went to high school For you, your college tuition and living expenses are earned by me working from dawn to dusk on the construction site. All my money is given to you. Now that you have been in a big city for two years, you just want to throw it away. Me? Let me tell you, there is no way... If you don't want to get the school to expel that Shen Xingchun, I will go to your teacher to make trouble. Let's see if you can stay in school..."

Wu Qian flicked her wrist, the strength of the two was very different, she couldn't get rid of Ge Chuan, she cried and said: "Ge Chuan, I really have nothing to do with Shen Xingchun, I wrote the love letter to him unilaterally, and he never wrote back to me." , That time in the hospital was indeed a chance encounter. I will make it clear to the teacher that I wronged him before. Can I pay you back the money your family spent on me? Double, no, triple, five Is it okay to double it? Can I pay you back five times?"

Ge Chuan snorted coldly, "Wu Qian, let me make it clear to you that I don't want you to pay back the money. It's impossible for me to waste the feelings I have spent on you for so many years. You and Shen Xingchun must go away."

"Ge Chuan, can you stop forcing me?" Wu Qian continued to cry softly, "Aren't you, do you have to force me to death?"

……

An Yuan didn't expect it to be so smooth. He leaned his back against the wall and his heart was pounding. He carefully picked up the recording pen, turned the volume to the minimum, and listened to it. Noise, but Ge Chuan and Wu Qian's conversation and names were clearly recorded, including Wu Qian's own admission that the whole matter had nothing to do with Shen Xingchun.

An Yuan turned around and wanted to leave. The snow on the ground was too thick. He stepped on an empty plastic bottle under the snow, making a lot of noise.

Wu Qian and Ge Chuan looked in Anyuan's direction at the same time. Anyuan squeezed the recording pen tightly in his hand and put it in his pocket.

"Who are you?" Ge Chuan stared fiercely at An Yuan, "What did you hold in your hand just now?"

As Ge Chuan said, he let go of Wu Qian's wrist and raised his leg to walk over.

Wu Qian recognized that it was An Yuan, she grabbed Ge Chuan's coat and did not let Ge Chuan go, and gave An Yuan a wink, telling him to leave quickly.

An Yuan didn't have time to think about it, so he turned around and ran to the boys' dormitory.
