Ding Nan's heart was in a mess in an instant. She knew that she should ignore it. However, at that time, Ding Nan could not help but want to see him. She wanted to hug him and cry bitterly. Thus, she stood up and bent down to whisper to Sun Yan,""I have something to do and have to go first. Help me take care of your colleague.”He then looked at Li Shi and said,"I have something urgent to do. I have to go. You two eat and chat first. We'll talk later." I'll treat you next time."
Both of them looked at her in surprise. Sun Yan quickly recovered and said,""Alright, go ahead."
Li Shi also nodded and smiled,"See you later."”
When they reached the road in front of the restaurant, Ding Nan called Sun Guowei and tried to ask in a calm tone,"Where are you?"
"I'm at the roadside outside your neighborhood. Where are you?”Sun Guowei said over the phone.
"Alright, wait for me." She hung up the phone and immediately took a taxi back.
Half an hour later, she asked the driver to stop the car at a place further away from the neighborhood. She got out of the car and walked towards the neighborhood. As she walked, she thought about what to say to him when she saw him.
He saw her from afar, and she saw him too. She saw that he still maintained his warm and indifferent temperament. How should he put it? In the past, when Ding Nan chatted with a group of laymen, one of them would often tease the other by saying,"Look at your temperament. You look like the kind of person who walks on the streets." What about Sun Guowei's temperament? When he walked on the street, he would immediately make you feel that he was different. It was not because he was handsome, but because of his temperament. That kind of ethereal, that kind of aloof, gentle, and indifferent, like a plain moon.
When she first met him, she felt that he was distant and empty. After spending more time with him and observing him, she felt that he was even more ethereal and noble. But no matter which feeling it was, he really gave people a sense of surprise.
Sun Guowei asked Ding Nan, who was walking over,"Where did you go?"
Ding Nan was neither happy nor sad. He said with a calm expression,"I went on a blind date. If you can go on a blind date, why can't I?”
His expression changed and he grabbed both of her hands, shaking them as he asked,""I'm going crazy for you. I'm going on a blind date with someone else, and all I can think about is you. I'm not going to see anyone else, and you're not going to see anyone either, okay? Alright?"
"Let's go to your school." she said.
"You're not going up?" He looked up at the building she lived in and asked.
"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you don't go up? You left in such a sorry state last time."
He said," Alright." He held her hand and the two of them walked towards the bus stop.
When they arrived at Sun Guowei's school gate, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon. It was early summer, and the flickering light shone from the southwest through the big trees on the side and onto the pillars and the straight sentries on both sides. Looking through the gap of the iron gate, the campus was covered with trees, and there were occasional people walking on the main road opposite. Everything was quiet and peaceful.
" Military officer certificate or ID card?" said the young sentry, glancing at them.
Sun Guowei took out his military ID and handed it over, but Ding Nan didn't bring her ID card.
"The last two times I came, I didn't need to see my ID card.”Ding Nan looked at the sentry and then at Sun Guowei.
Sun Guowei then pleaded with the sentry," Yeah, I didn't expect to see your ID card. Can you make an exception? Just a registration or something?"
"No, after the incident inside, we have to check it recently.”the sentry said impassively. That impartial face suddenly reminded Ding Nan of the guards in the text "Lenin and the Guards" that he had learned when he was young.
"Then what should we do? The ID card is still in the city. It's unrealistic to go back and get it. Please help me register it.”Sun Guozhong continued to plead with the sentinel while telling Ding Nan that a lunatic had injured someone inside a few days ago, so the investigation might be stricter these few days.
The sentinel ignored him and stopped talking. His eyes were indifferent to the front as he focused on standing guard.
"Hello? No, right? Can't I? I don't believe it. Kid, you weren't even born when I came to work here.”Sun Guowei saw that the sentry ignored him and became anxious.
"It's useless to call the company commander." the sentry said, but still did not look at them.
"Then let's go in directly. Let's go." Sun Guowei said as he pulled Ding Nan's hand and walked straight in.
The sentry finally couldn't remain calm anymore. He reached out to stop them and said,"No! You can't enter!" At this moment, a young sentry came out of the reception room. Sun Guowei was still shouting for them to call the company commander, and the two sentries were asking them to cooperate.
Just as Sun Guowei and the two sentries were arguing, Ding Nan suddenly felt that Sun Guowei, who was about 30 years old, and the young sentinel, who was about 20 years old, stood together. They looked so old. Deep heartache and pity rose in her heart. At that moment, she realized that she had already understood and forgiven him.
In the end, the sentry who came out later had no choice but to ask about Sun Guowei's situation. He looked at his military officer's certificate, registered, and let them in.
Not long after entering the gate, he met a female officer in military uniform. From afar, Sun Guowei introduced her to Ding Nan. This is my hometown colleague, Wang Shuping, whom I often tell you about. She's also taking the postgraduate entrance examination this year and has also participated in the second examination. She'll probably be taking it in September. When she got closer, Ding Nan carefully sized up the heroine in front of her. She looked about the same age as her. Sun Guowei introduced them.
As they passed through the low shrub path on campus, male colleagues occasionally winked at Sun Guowei and greeted him. Someone asked,""Sun Guowei, girlfriend?" He smiled and said,"Well, hehe.”
His dormitory was still as clean and tidy as he was. At that time, horoscopes were not popular. Many years later, Ding Nan did some calculations and found out that Sun Guowei was also a Virgo. It was said that Virgo people were germaphobe. It seemed that it was true.
There were two single beds in the room. One of them was neatly stacked with blankets and pillows, while the other was piled with some bedding. There was a table and two chairs by the window. There were some books and stationery on the table. There was a wardrobe behind the door. Beside the wardrobe were a sink and some toiletries. Everything seemed very simple.
Sun Guowei once said that this room used to be shared with his colleague and good friend, Xiao Wei. Since Xiao Wei transferred to another place two years ago, he had lived alone.
At half past five, Sun Guowei went to the cafeteria to get food. Ding Nan was sitting on a chair and reading a book on the table. At this moment, her phone rang. She took a look and saw that it was a message from Li Shi."Miss Ding, I have a good impression of you. Can we continue dating?”
She was stunned for a moment before replying," I'm sorry!”
After a while, his phone rang again. Li Shi said,"Why are you apologizing? I'm afraid of hearing an apology! My heart doesn't want to be sorry!"
Ding Nan smiled bitterly. Thinking that this was an interesting person, he did not reply.
At around nine o'clock, Sun Guowei tidied up the bed with two blankets and said to Ding Nan,"This is Xiao Wei's old bed. I'll tidy it up. I'll sleep here tonight, and you can sleep on my bed. Why don't I bring you to Wang Shuping's dormitory? What do you think? I won't hurt you!"
She reached out and hugged Sun Guowei from behind. She pressed her face against his back and said,"No, I'm willing!"
It was the beginning of the month. A bright moon hung in the sky outside the window. The moonlight poured into the house like water. The tall bushes in front of the window cast a sparse shadow, forming abstract spots on the ground. Everything was so peaceful.
He hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear,""Baby, I love you!" She didn't say anything. His hand reached over and touched her tears. He turned her body around and faced her, saying repeatedly,"I'm sorry! Treasure! I'm sorry!" She buried her head in his chest and gradually sobbed.
On Sunday morning, both of them were very melancholic. Their eyes were red and swollen. He soaked the towel in cold water, wrung it, and handed it to her for her to apply on her eyes. From time to time, she would look out of the window in a daze. He looked at her with guilt and pity in his eyes. After lunch, he said,"Let's go to the city. Let's go to Huatang."”
The two of them held hands and went to Huatang. He accompanied her to look at women's clothes and women's shoes and said,"I specially brought 2,000 yuan to pick out some clothes for you. You're going to graduate school soon, so buy some new clothes.”
She kept saying," No, no. Women just like to enjoy shopping. They don't have to buy it." You, on the other hand, are going abroad. You should dress better and give the people of China some face.”As she spoke, she pushed him to the men's section.
Many years later, Ding Nan often thought of those words: In my life, there should be at least one time when I forget myself for someone. I don't ask for results, I don't ask for company, I don't ask for what I once had, I don't even ask for your love, I just want to meet you in my most beautiful years.
