On the closing ceremony of the first semester of senior high school, Yu Ruoling only remembered that she finished the English test at 09:30 in the morning, and everyone rushed out of the school after an hour of cleaning.
In mid-January, the weather was surprisingly good, and she swept away the gloomy and dark mood of the entire semester. It could almost be said that she spent the last day in a good mood.
She thought optimistically, let's get through this first and then enjoy the vacation first. Anyway, it's not without a backer. When she really couldn't hold on anymore, when she couldn't breathe as if she was suffocating, there was still Fong Xuan, and there was Him.
She pressed her temples where the blood vessels were dilated and gave her a headache. She felt a little confused. Ever since she entered high school, the migraine headaches that had been her only serious physical ailment seemed to be cured. The last time she had an attack was 2 months ago.
Forget it, she smiled and thought, there is nothing to understand. They received the Holy Communion during that "tripartite meeting". It was probably because He knew it was time, so He got rid of everything that needed to be removed. She knew what it felt like to have an extreme migraine, the worst of which she had fainted in bed.
It was just one less problem that had the greatest impact on her as she entered high school.
Yu took out her headache medicine and took one, so as not to throw up in the middle of the car.
After all, it is still someone else's tour bus. Although it has a vomit bag, it is not very reliable. She always throws up very neatly and has no time to get a vomit bag.
Thinking about it this way, she seemed to miss the time when the three of them got together to chat - even though it was only once - she always had a feeling that her other half, or part of her, would soon become one with her. At that time, she will have a complete self, she and Fong Xuan at the same time. Even so..., she still feels a bit reluctant to have Fong Xuan return.
The short three weeks of winter vacation were enough for her to escape temporarily. Yu Ruoling leaned on the back of the chair and supported her cheek, and her dark eyes, which were slightly drooping and converging, were reflected in the car window glass.
The ends of the eyes are slightly raised, and even though they are always melancholy, they still have a sharp color. Yu Ruoling took a deep breath, as if all the dullness in her heart had been drained away, but her small movements caught the attention of Shao Xu'an, the Long brothers, and Zheng Wenhuan, who were still awake next to her.
"Sister Ruoling, are you alright？"
"Why do you look angry？"
"No, "She smiled, turned around and looked at the Long brothers who were sitting behind her and wanted to break the back of the chair, "I just sat here for a long time."
"I know, I understand, haha！My back hurts after sitting~ "Zheng Wenhuan stretched, "I kind of want to get out of the car and do some exercise."
"Tsk, you just go to sleep. Ah, I really want to continue sleeping. It's all you, I just dreamed of the beautiful girl."Shao Xu'an lay back on the chair again.
You are not afraid of being beaten, didn't you？Yu Ruoling twitched her mouth, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "I heard from Brother Xinyong that we will have dinner at Qishan Street later, and we can go together."
Zheng Wenhuan nodded in agreement with bright eyes. Yu threw a small wink at her, turned head and continued to stare out of the car window in a daze.
Looking at the passers-by, the streets, and the businesses, every little movement and expression they made was very interesting to her.
She secretly guessed what kind of similarities and differences there were between other people's lives and her own life, and then felt proud in her heart, as if she had found some treasure. Or she would pray for these people, hoping that they would have that chance to meet Him.
"Pssss, you heartless sister Ruoling. "The Long brothers protested in unison, "Hey~why don't you smile？"
"Am I not smile？"
"Aren't you okay？You look very serious, "Long Junyuan said seriously, "aren't you unhappy？"
"No."
"Forget it. "Long Junxi waved his hand, "If sis doesn't want to say it, no one can force her out even by burning her with a soldering iron."
Yu Ruoling smiled helplessly and put down her right hand that was supporting her chin, "Okay, what do you want to talk about？"
"You don't feel very happy in this camp. You don't feel as comfortable as you did during the short-term mission."
"Is that？"
Is it that obvious？She thought for a while and found that she did not restrain herself too much. She gradually became less able to control her emotions perfectly.
"Yes, thank you. "The Long brothers said in unison, "So what's wrong？”
You are questioning the prisoner, boys... Yu Ruoling felt a little funny in her heart, and suddenly felt a little warm, "No, I just thought of some old things."
"Ah, then..., it's..."
“It's a thing, not a person, but it's okay."
"Are you sure？You look a little bad. "Long Junxi threw a pack of snacks, "Snacks make people feel happy. I remember you are a snack lover."
She couldn't help but laugh, "Indeed I am."
"You look really… not good. Are you..…the same as last time？"Long Junyuan asked cautiously.
"...Fortunately, it's not that terrible as last time."It's just that the heart is blocked, like a knife stuck there.
He looked at Yu Ruoling's gloomy dark eyes and couldn't help but imitate her previous behavior, reaching out his hand and patting her head.
When Yu Ruoling became stubborn, she looked like there is no chance of stopping of her even she is dragging several horses at the same time, and she was as crazy as anything. But when she weakened, she became even more terrifying, gloomy, indifferent, like the mythical God of Death with a huge scythe.
An outrageous extreme. When he came back to his senses, he found that his brother and sister Ruoling were looking at him strangely, and he quickly laughed "hehe" and took back his hand.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
If he were asked to choose the state that is most suitable for sister Ruoling, the empress in an ancient costume fairy TV series that he had watched on TV before would be the most suitable for what Sister Ruoling should look like.
Long Junxi and Yu Ruoling each ate a bag of snacks happily, then looked at the younger Long brother with contempt.
How short is he trying to make her look？He is going to be taller than her. Stop being jealous.
She will continue to grow taller.
Maybe.
…
Zheng Wenhuan jumped out of the car first, carrying a beige backpack, "Ling！Let's go~let's go to dinner~"
The driver parked the tour bus at the corner of the entrance to Qishan Street. As soon as the door opened, a group of hungry tigers "ping pong ping pong" who couldn't wait to eat jumped out of the car and went happily looking for food in teams of three or two.
Zheng Wenhuan, who had been hungry for almost three hours, was the most excited. In an instant, Yu Ruoling was reduced to a blurry afterimage. Huang Yinke did not participate in the camp this time - because she went back to her grandma's house - so the usual threesome was changed to a twosome.
As for Fu Xiangqin, she was handsomely carried away by her sister Fu Xianghui and cousin Li Zhaoyi... Shao Xu'an and the Long brothers stood there for a while, watching helplessly as their sister was pulled away, the younger Fu sister were carried away, the priests floated away happily, and Lin Xinyong and Lin Tianzhao took the sleepy-looking Lin Tianmo away.
After they all left, He Wanying was left too... Oh, He Wanying is still here.
Sure enough, she is an elder.
"You. Say. What. "The young and beautiful female consultant punched Shao Xu'an with a black face, "I think you want to die."
"Sooorrrry！！！"Mr. Shao screamed, almost like an emergency brake, and hurriedly ran away with one of the Long brothers in his each hand.
The aroma of milk mixed with the undeniable rich sweetness of banana fills the street, and there is also the faint aroma of barbecue that comes intermittently.
A girl with pretty short flaxen hair walked slowly beside a 155cm little girl. The nearly 20cm height difference allowed her to easily put her hand on her companion's head.
Zheng Wenhuan held a box of roasted beef in her hand, stabbed a piece with a bamboo skewer and hung it above her companion's head, "Come on, little cutie, raise your head and take a bite, hahahaha..."
"´_>`"The little cutie rolled her eyes, stood on tiptoes slightly and took away the food Zheng Wenhuan fed her.
The roasted beef that had just been cooked was so hot that she burst into physiological tears almost instantly. She froze in her mouth and was at a loss -
- Yu Ruoling is a pretty standard cat tongue.
"Hahaha！Oh, your bulging face looks so cute with this expression~ "Zheng Wenhuan took a sip of the oolong milk she just bought, "By the way, do you have any feedback from the camp this time？Brother Shinyoung said , we need to collect our opinions and report them to the deacons above, so that we can organize it better next time. Ah！Ling, do you want some banana ice cream？"
"Ya sure. Well... feedback, I don't think there's anything to fault. Really speaking, the schedule is a bit tight, and it will be delayed until the next event. In the end, it was delayed a lot."
"Well... this is true. I will tell Brother Shinyoung and others later, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble to the co-workers too. What do you think of the participation part？"
Yu Ruoling took the banana ice cream from her companion's hand and didn't quite know how to reply for a while.
She was indeed involved, not to mention that she was the deputy team leader, and her position did not allow her to stay out of it. However, this event gave her a big impact on the first day. The theme of the camp - The First Love, is about forgiveness at the beginning. She didn't listen to a single word during that whole scene, and the only thing that kept coming to her mind was the extremely bad school experience she had during the first two... no, it should be nine years.
She assured that she was exhausted after a sermon and had nothing but gloomy moods, let alone helping to lead the group. Although the participation is very deep, it is just like a zombie-like participation. As for the group discussion...
She really felt sorry for her team leader, Lin Tianmo.
"Huh？"Zheng asked again.
"It's not bad. I think everyone is very cooperative in this part, and there is nothing that needs correction."
Zheng Wenhuan blinked and saw the complicated look in Yu Ruoling's eyes, and made a mental note, but didn't say anything more. She plans to ask the team members who are close to Ruoling in the future, wondering what the meaning of "first love" is to Ruoling. She thought to herself.
There was a prayer meeting held on the night of a short mission before, and then they were divided into groups of two or three.
It happened that she was in a group with Ruoling and Brother Tianmo, and they were probably very familiar with each other. And because the sharing that day was relatively secretive, Ruoling told everything.
Whether it was campus bullying or the subsequent effects, and as for her, she herself shared her family problems, and Brother Tianmo shared the inside story of his tragic failure in college. But after that, she discovered that Brother Tianmo might have reported this matter to Brother Shinyoung and Wanying. She knew that some of the older people in fellowship who were familiar with Ruoling no longer went behind her back.
Zheng Wenhuan saw from the corner of her eye that Yu Ruoling was silent again, walking in a daze, and felt so confused that she didn't know what to say.
The sky gradually darkened, and they walked around after dinner. After buying biscuits and snacks at 7-11 that could be considered a late night snack, they stayed at the door and waited for others to come back and get in the car together.
At around 18:30, all the Youth members who participated in the camp gathered together one after another. Lin Tianmo, nicknamed "Playing the night market until he went bankrupt," held several stuffed animals in his hands and crossed the road side by side with Lin shinyoung. If they look closely, they can see that in addition to what he is holding, there is also a great white shark almost half his height on his back.
Yu Ruoling："..."
Zheng Wenhuan："..."
Shao Xu’an：“…”
Long Junyuan："..."
Long Junxi："..."
Lin Tianmo’s older brother：“…”
Several younger elementary school students："..."
Here we go again. Everyone unanimously thought the same thing. Is it really possible to fit it in Shinyoung’s store？
…
Big traffic jam.
At 7:15 in the evening, the tour bus passed the three traffic signals outside Qishan Street. Although she didn’t quite understand why there was a traffic jam here, a few older people in the car who couldn’t stand the trouble fell asleep with peace of mind, while the rest who were still awake thoughtfully lowered the volume of chatting and playing on their mobile phones.
As the saying goes：After eating, you feel sleepy. The first time she got in the car, before Zheng Wenhuan had time to say to Yu Ruoling that "I want to take a nap," she completely dreamed of "Inception".
Yu Ruoling and Shao Xu'an, who was watching from the side, twitched their lips together, sat back in their seats and went to sleep.
Probably because birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups, it also depends on whether they are familiar with each other. Behind Zheng Wenhuan is Shao Xu'an, next door to Shao Xu'an are the Long brothers, and in front of the Long brothers is Yu Ruoling.
Yu looked at the traffic conditions as tour bus passed a street intersection in another five minutes, and the time chain that had been tied to her heart for a long time suddenly loosened.
The sudden strange feeling of "there is still a lot of time, you can enjoy it slowly" made her feel sleepy. For many years, she has always（seemed to be forever）living in a life where she had to do something on time, just like a mechanical engineer.
She is really tired and can’t walk anymore.
Yu Ruoling leaned on the slightly adjusted back of the chair, rested her head on the slightly protruding seat next to her, and took a deep breath.
She feels inexplicably that if her years in the book of life end here, if the Lord Jesus decides to let her leave here right now-
- There doesn't seem to be any problem with it. She smiled wildly and allowed herself to continue sinking deeper into dream.
Long Junxi couldn't bear the atmosphere and fell asleep. Long Junyuan was the only one left awake in this four-person area. Due to the excessive silence around him, he heard Yu Ruoling's deep breath and unexplained chuckle even while playing with his mobile phone.
"Sis？"He leaned over, "What are you laughing at？"
"..."
"Hello？"
She was already in a daze and couldn't tell whether the voice was male or female. She just felt that it seemed to be coming from a far away place. It was very annoying, so she forced herself to answer. But she didn't think about what to answer, she just wanted to get rid of the person.
"Say..."
"What？"
"Say..., I have lived...enough..."
Long Junyuan's heart skipped a beat, and the machine in his hand almost hit her on the head.
He really didn't dare to guess what sister Ruoling meant by this. Maybe he could discuss it after his brother woke up, or find a way to call sister Fong Xuan - sister Ruing No. 2 - out to ask. Of course, the latter option was the last option. Although the names were different and the personalities were different, they were all sister Ruoling.
He didn't have the guts to ask at the risk of being beaten to death.
