Yes or no

Chapter 13 The Middle Past 12

On the first day of the countdown to the winter vacation, there was no exam. An Nannan bought a plane ticket to go home that morning.There was still plenty of time to get to the airport.

The airport is full of different smells of strangers, they are the society, life itself.

In addition to the resounding voice broadcast, the most common sound is the sound of a phone call.A middle-aged man, his hair was docilely pulled back under the effect of hairspray, his shoulders were broad, and the flesh on his face trembled rhythmically when he walked.Of course she has a beer belly, even if she is shy, she looks like a woman who has been pregnant for several months.He happened to be leading a young woman with heavy make-up, even the high-heeled shoes the woman wore were so proud to the sky.The man is on the phone, with five fingers and three golden rings.

"Bullshit, I've been working so hard outside, you fucking know how to spend my money and don't talk about it, and you keep talking about it all day... who do you think you are...don't fuck Tell me about the child, you give birth to your own fucking raising..."

The phone was put into the trouser pocket, the woman wrapped the man's arm, pushed the box and left.The high heels are eye-catching in the noisy crowd.Women can do whatever it takes to get what they want.Compared with the goal, the process is not worth mentioning.The gorgeous and enchanting back in front of me is like this, the goddess of economics is like this, and so is Lin Xiao, but how do they determine their goals? Just based on what they want in their consciousness?

An Nannan dozed off against An Ning and hugged An Ning's arm.Although the posture was uncomfortable, An Ning held back.An Ning has a secret that she wants to tell someone. She doesn't need to get advice, just being able to tell it.He wanted to speak and stopped several times, but he still held back.What I am most afraid of is doubts. If there are doubts, it is better not to say anything and just keep it as it is.

The plane took off at [-]:[-], and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows were gray-blue sky and gray-blue ground, lifeless.This city welcomes and sends hundreds of millions of tourists every year, but An Ning doesn't have any good impressions.

A ruthless painter, a traveler without roots.

For no reason, I miss the orchard in my hometown.In summer, the sun is so fierce that it seems like it can catch fire when it shines on the body.In the shade of the trees, hearing crickets and sandworms chirping non-stop, the hearts of those who chirped were at ease, and they felt real and real.The first time I went to the orchard was a family of four playing in the wild. At that time, An Yan could not speak, chasing grasshoppers and bugs on the grass.An Shaolin looked at the orchard and said that he liked this place to retire. A few years later, An Shaolin had no news. Du Yun bought the small orchard to grow fruits and vegetables, so he had no time to take care of the children.Maybe it is none other than Du Yun who knows the way of happiness well.She is a traditional woman who was abandoned by men, dragged her two children forward, and lived her life in a splendid way.If you ask, An Ning believes that Du Yun will be able to share a lot of truth and experience. However, An Ning can't talk to Du Yun. He is responsible for answering questions and explaining life at home. It has always been An Shaolin. After he left , the two women in the family only became more taciturn.Even if she was injured, An Ning couldn't tell Du Yun about any grievances, and she didn't have the desire to talk about it.

An Ning was still sitting on the gray chair she had just made, seemingly observing the passers-by, but she was actually doing nothing.Beside her was a woman who was nearly 40 years old, wearing a pink and pink dress, and a bow-shaped earring on her ear fell to her shoulder.Holding the earphone cable in his hand, he kept winding and winding, and softly told the man on the phone to keep an eye on the child, do his homework well, and eat well.Nagging like most women in the world, I can't rest assured.Du Yun would never make a phone call like this, let alone dress like this.

Unknowingly, more than two hours later, An Ning received the news that An Nannan had landed. Only then did she get out of the airport and realized that the countdown to the winter vacation was over.

The subway is always crowded with people. An Ning was squeezed onto the subway and pushed out of the carriage.Check the time, it's already past the appointment time.An Ning also heaved a sigh of relief, and secretly prepared an excuse in her heart, and also prayed that it would be best not to use it.

Since it is a rhetoric, the elements of it are naturally similar to lies.One of the principles that An Ning has always adhered to is not to tell any lies, but not to tell all the truth.Try not to cause trouble for others, and don't make trouble for yourself.Best not to break this rule today.

Daxia's house was extremely deserted. All 42 people were supposed to attend the party, but more than half of them preferred to go home early, and the rest left after lunch.It took An Ning some time to find the neighborhood where Daxia's house was located. When Daxia opened the door, the old cuckoo clock on the wall of the living room just flew out of its cabin, and the cuckoo cuckoo called twice.An Ning was convinced that she heard the echo of the cuckoo, cuckoo-cuckoo.

It's really cool.

The squad leader squatted at the door to play games, ignoring the comings and goings of people.There are more than one people in the small bedroom. One of the clothes seems to be Miao Miao, but the rest cannot be seen.Liu Huaiyu was reclining on the sofa, telling jokes in a serious manner, and next to him was Lin Xiao, who was listening to him earnestly, almost as if admiring God.Lin Xiao has a baby face, looks like a little girl who is not yet an adult, harmless to humans and animals.With such a sweet and pleasant face, it can be matched with any expression, and it can be said with any kind of words.

An Ning just felt cold, probably because of the winter, not for any other reason.

The furniture in the house is decorated in solid colors, mostly white.There wasn't a single picture or photograph on the wall, nor on the cabinet.Clear and cold.An Ning almost saw the meticulous and timid appearance of the hostess, and had to think of what Ge Rushuang had said.

"Hey An Ning, you are late!" The hero took out a pair of slippers and threw them at An Ning's feet.There may have been decorations on the slippers, but they were artificially removed.

"Fatty man! Stop!" Miao Miao laughed and chased the fat man out of the bedroom. The fat man hid behind the hero, and the thin hero couldn't cover him at all, so it didn't matter.He didn't bother to put on his shoes, but he didn't forget to say hello when he saw An Ning who had just entered the door.The hero asked the reason, and the fat man insisted that he was abused by Miao Miao.Miao Miao laughed so hard that her face cramped, and through the hero, the fat man hit him on the head.Tired, the fat man collapsed on the ground next to An Ning, sweating profusely.Miao Miao followed and sat next to the fat man, the hand that patted his shoulder was limp, and slid down his arm to his hand, less than five centimeters away from his hand.The fat man didn't seem to notice her hand, he raised his hand and patted Miao Miao's forehead lightly, smiling like Ge Rushuang's succulent, but lively.

The hero squatted opposite the squad leader, pointing at each other with their mobile phones.

The room was suddenly quiet.

"What's the matter?" The hero looked up at the people in the living room, but no one could tell.It just so happened that everyone fell silent at the same time for a few seconds.

The speaking voice sounded again, and the echo naturally followed.This room is too empty.

So far, Liu Huaiyu hasn't taken the time to formally see An Ning.The light in the afternoon is the most pleasant, and Liu Huaiyu is in the light again, just like seeing him for the first time.Unlike An Nannan, An Ning could feel the beauty of Liu Huaiyu, not because of his face, but because of something else.I don't know if An Ning can see the shining benefits of everyone in the heroes' novels like she does in reality.

An Nannan always said "stupid" to An Ning without hesitation, reproaching her with distress.

At this moment, Lin Xiao laughed out loud, and the giggling laughter infected everyone.An Ning got up, put down the gray pillow she was holding, and leaned against the sofa.Miao Miao also stood up and leaned against the pillow, reached out and turned on the TV.The fat man climbed onto the sofa to grab the remote control, grabbed Miao Miao's hand and the remote control, and the picture on the screen changed to start broadcasting sports events.Fatty and Miao Miao discussed the game and stars, and their voices finally overshadowed the other two.

The hero and the squad leader stood guard at the door of the single bedroom, with one leaning against the door frame and the other leaning against the door.The hut is the hero's bedroom, with a single bed, not next to the window, and two sides against the wall.Opposite the bed are bookcases and shelves and a desk that take up almost one wall.Neat and clean.Whether it is a cabinet or a bookshelf, most of them are video tapes and video discs.It seems that the hero's habit of watching movies has lasted for more than two or three years.There are still some books in the bookcase, mostly physics science books.

Unlike An Yan's room, there is no poster or picture on the wall of the hero, only the white walls that glow.The hero's living environment is simple and safe enough to cover it, there are no extra decorations, and sharp objects are nowhere to be found.The simpler the furnishings, the more difficult it is to reflect his experience.

An Ning picked up the book casually, it was very thin, it was Carver.He is a low-level figure struggling in the dreams of many people, and he can clearly explain the sorrows in the lives of small people.An Ning doesn't like the hopeless feelings about life between the lines in his words, which easily triggers associations and then causes headaches.

"What We Talk About When We Talk About Love", you can tell from the book cover that this book has experienced some stories, and it is more appropriate to say "accidents".Probably because it has been soaked in water, the whole book is twitching.The original indigo-colored book cover has long lost its true colors, and there are some dark sticky substances on the title page, which makes An Ning get goosebumps.

"What's wrong with it?" An Ning raised Carver in his hand and asked towards the door.The squad leader stood up from the ground at once, scrambling to be ahead of the hero, "I know!" Then he told the story in detail, and the laughter of the three people was endless.

The stain on it is the chocolate that the hero stole from the squad leader, and the water wrinkle is because it fell into his own footbath.

It was hard not to notice the laughter in the room.Liu Huaiyu couldn't help turning around to investigate, but an inadvertent movement annoyed the girl beside her.She refrained from having an attack, a trace of malice appeared on the doll's face.

All women in the world are narrow-minded fools, and what they are best at is to torture themselves with their own shortcomings.

There is no official start time for the party, and no one knows when it will end.At four o'clock, the fat man starts to get hungry and the sun starts to set.When the sun finally set behind the gray buildings, everyone was full and cooked instant noodles, and began to think about something to play.

"Truth or Dare!" Lin Xiao's proposal won unanimous approval.

"Where's the wine bottle? The hero finds a wine bottle!" Miao Miao asked the hero.

The crowd fell silent again.

"How can there be such a thing in my house? My mother hates wine and people who drink it!" The hero was a little embarrassed, explained, and didn't move.

Seven people sat around the coffee table, where they had just eaten noodles.Lin Xiao was still next to Liu Huaiyu, the monitor and An Ning were on the opposite side, Miao Miao and Fatty sat next to Lin Xiao and Liu Huaiyu respectively.

"What kind of wine bottle do you want, here are the playing cards!" The squad leader took out a deck of cards from his pocket, picked out the big king and the little king, threw them aside, rubbed his hands, and began to shuffle the cards.

"Squad leader, you are learning magic tricks" Lin Xiao asked jokingly.

"Do you still need to learn?" The hero sat down cross-legged next to the monitor, "What can our monitor do! Without him, you can't do it, only you can't think of it!" Holding the monitor's back with his hands.

Hearing the hero's flattery, the squad leader was very pleased. He turned his head and pouted to give the hero a kiss, but was blocked by the hero.There was an ambiguous scene in Fatty's camera.

"You two are in a relationship," Miao Miao asked bluntly, looking at the two of them separately.The squad leader didn't stop, and he tilted his head and replied casually, "Yes, let's get to know each other formally, my wife!"

"Your uncle! Clean up and cry for you," the hero retorted viciously.

"I can't even move my legs when I see a pretty girl, what are you two talking about?" Liu Huaiyu thought it was funny.

"Talk about ideals in life!" the hero said cheerfully.

"Don't let this fake show of yours come true again someday! You will have to suffer..." Miao Miao opened a bag of rainbow candy and poured it on the coffee table, "High school classmates, before the college entrance examination, I had a relationship with his mother. Saying that I like men, if I can accept it, I will be the same as before, if I don’t accept it, I will not have his son"

"And then?" Lin Xiao asked.

"His mother felt that the pressure of the college entrance examination was too great. She coaxed her to calm down and passed the college entrance examination. Immediately after the exam was over, she was sent to see a psychiatrist. She cried and shouted to save his son... He ran away from home that day, and he is still alive now. I haven't contacted my family..."

"Some doctors claim that homosexuality can be cured with methods such as electric shock," the monitor ate a piece of rainbow candy, "there are so-called patients who are forced to contact or even have sex with the opposite sex. If I receive such a reaction from my parents, I will won't stay at home anymore"

"So it will be difficult. After all, I live among heterosexuals, and homosexuals are still a minority, so I have to "come out" of the closet. But then again, my attitude is to respect and not discriminate, so, in case any of you I need to talk, I can be a close sister." Miao Miao pointed.

The hero aggressively dragged the squad leader to lean on his shoulder, "Did you hear that?" The squad leader Xiaoniao Yiren.

"Do you two want to have such a strong taste? There are two girls!"

"Can you count the two fat bastards!"

"Why not one, two." The fat man pointed at Lin Xiao and An Ning in turn.

"Me! Me!"

"You're a man!" the fat man joked, Miao Miao was also happy, she couldn't see any anger, and he just wanted to beat the fat man across the table.

Each person draws two tickets, depending on the number of points, high requirements, low truth or big adventure.The loser was punished, no wine, but water mixed with vinegar.

Liu Huaiyu won at the beginning of the game, and it happened to be An Ning who lost.The squad leader thought to himself that Liu Huaiyu might take the opportunity to express his feelings, at least to find out the other party's feelings.

“Truth or Dare“

"Honestly."

"Eh..." After a long time, Liu Huaiyu still didn't think of a suitable question, and just asked, when is your birthday?"

As a result, Liu Huaiyu was despised because he did not grasp the essence of the game.An Ning's answer was the same as before, I don't know.

Feng Shui takes turns, and finally the positions of the winners and losers are switched.An Ning was warned that if the request was as unnutritious and boring as Liu Huaiyu's, she would have to be kicked out of the game.

An Ning thought and thought, at that time the sun was completely hidden behind Xishan, and bright lights were on in the living room.There is a taste of love among the seven people, and the topics basically revolve around love. No matter how big the circle is, they still have to come back.

An Ning thought and thought.An Ning is not good at answering questions, and even less good at asking questions.Especially in front of others, under the watchful eyes of everyone.Every time she opened her mouth, An Ning felt that her face should be embarrassingly red, like a boiled potato in the sky.

“Truth or Dare“

"The truth." Liu Huaiyu hesitated for a moment and made a choice.He had been observing An Ning, and noticed an imperceptible shyness on her face, and couldn't help but echo her.

"Hmm..." An Ning lowered her eyes, raised them immediately, looked around, focused on Liu Huaiyu's canine teeth, and asked solemnly, "How long will the longest relationship last?"

"I'm a three-good student. I will never talk about my partner, and I won't fall in love early!" Liu Huaiyu avoided the question.

"Aren't you afraid of thunder?" The hero glared at Liu Huaiyu.

"He talked too much and I can't remember it... Don't write it down, just admit it and ask for leniency." The hero reshuffled the cards, dissatisfied with Liu Huaiyu's answer.

"Uh, a year!"

There were sighs everywhere, and almost no one took his answer seriously, except An Ning and Lin Xiao.An Ning was sure of Liu Huaiyu's purity, and Lin Xiao was willing to believe all the lies Liu Huaiyu had said.

"In this game, we choose the big adventure, dare you!" The winner is the squad leader.

"Come on, let's see who is afraid." Miao Miao replied, accepting the most naked provocation.Miao Miao's courage is not like a girl in the traditional sense.

"Choose one of the other six people to kiss for six seconds." The squad leader smiled badly, and raised his eyes to indicate the water glass on the table. At least there is a liter of water-vinegar mixture. "Of course you can choose to accept punishment!"

Miao Miao tapped her finger on the transparent glass coffee table and made an important decision.In a blink of an eye, Miao Miao had come between Liu Huaiyu and Fatty, Lin Xiao's heart tightened.

Miao Miao lowered her body, and the turtleneck sweater around her neck made her neck look slender.Miao Miao involuntarily sealed the fat man's mouth.One, two, three, three, four, five, six, seven...the two didn't stop.Miao Miao's bravery and straightforwardness make other people who haven't understood it feel inferior.Miao Miao sat back to her original seat with a winner's smile, and the fat man smiled shyly.Others pressed the two of them when they were together, but they laughed and said nothing.The funniest thing is that I know secrets that you don't.

"You two are so scheming, no wonder you bought so many bags of candy..." the hero muttered.

"My luck is really good today, hero, remember to take me to buy a lottery ticket later!" The squad leader showed his cards and glanced at the people, "Whoever you win the chance to lose to me, this time you have to choose the big adventure! Accept the challenge, stupid people of Earth!" the squad leader called out provocatively.

"Accept." Liu Huaiyu slapped the cards on the table.

"Okay, young man, choose one of the people here, and kiss for six seconds." After the monitor's voice fell, the others started booing, waiting for a good show.An Ning happened to lower her head to sort out the balls of wool stuck to the pocket of her sweater, with her head lowered.Lin Xiao didn't follow suit, obviously with nervous expectation.Liu Huaiyu made a little decision, picked up the water glass, and immediately saw it to the end.The sourness of the old mature vinegar sinking in the water actually made Liu Huaiyu drink the sweetness of honey, and put down the cup with a satisfied face.

"The taste is so heavy, it's not difficult to drink." The hero remixed a bottle of water and put it on the coffee table, hesitantly took a sip, and spit it out without any hesitation. thumb.

"Uncle's..." The squad leader was dissatisfied, turned to look at Liu Huaiyu, gave him a look, and mainly called him "counseling".Liu Huaiyu didn't care.Bitterness is also sweet, sour is also sweet, and sweetness will only be sweeter, as long as the time is right.

"Truth or Dare?" Lin Xiao asked, laying out the cards on the table.

"The truth." An Ning took a sip of the mineral water.

"Is there anyone here who you like? The kind of liking as a lover." Lin Xiao stared at An Ning.

"Lin Xiao is very good at playing games," the fat man sighed, and Miao Miao rolled his eyes.

The fire is rising and permeating, and there is a great momentum to burn.The previously neglected flames are gaining momentum.

got windy.

"Yes." An Ning stopped and met Lin Xiao's eyes.Seeing the fire in her eyes, he didn't want to provoke her on purpose, but An Ning couldn't control it.What if she really tells the secret?

"True words, big adventures" Lin Xiao won again.

"The truth." An Ning was tired, and she wasn't so tired the day she beat someone up.My heart is always hanging, more like swinging on a swing, swinging higher and lower each time, and falling deeper and deeper again and again.

"I heard that you seduced the head teacher when you were in junior high school, how did you do it?"

Silence again.Miao Miao tapped Lin Xiao's forehead.

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, and just when the squad leader was about to change the subject, An Ning stood up.

She sighed, and raised the water glass full of vinegar. Everyone thought she was going to accept punishment by herself. Unexpectedly, a whole glass of reddish-brown water fell on Lin Xiao's face without a drop, and the glass fell on the coffee table. I rolled it twice and it didn't break.Lin Xiao's anger seemed to be drenched with oil, so Miao Miao hurriedly stopped her and motioned for the fat man at the same time.The squad leader nearby grabbed An Ning's wrist to prevent her from making another sudden attack.The fat man called Liu Huaiyu to send Lin Xiao back to the dormitory together.Miao Miao, who was in the same dormitory with Lin Xiao, chased the door out, carrying Fatty's bag and mobile phone.

Is this self-inflicted?

There were three people left in the house.An Ning stood there for a long time, her breathing was short, and it took a long time to calm down.

At this moment, the superpower that An Ning wants most is not empathy, not keeping secrets, but erasing memories.Delete your own memory, and if you don’t remember anything, you can laugh when you should, and get angry when you should be angry.But I just can't forget what I want to forget.That's why An Ning's face was extremely ugly, and her originally beautiful face was even a little distorted.

After sitting awkwardly for less than an hour, An Ning gathered enough strength to get up and go back to the dormitory, escorted by the monitor.
