Chapter 3 The Imprint of Time

When she spoke, Lu Lu's tone was a little sour because she was also a girl with outstanding appearance and family background. If Lin Yan was not in Class 3, Grade 3, she would definitely be the most dazzling girl in the class.

Xu Yuelan was a little unhappy when she heard this and instinctively wanted to refute it, but her lips twitched twice and didn't say anything after all.

Yes, girls like Lin Yan, and most people, even if they seem to be in the same class, are within reach, but far away from them beyond imagination. The 15 or 16-year-old boy and girl can already realize that the gap in reality will eventually separate them from them, and where can I find the golden bridge that crosses the heavenly chasm?

Even Xu Yuelan was not sure. After experiencing the twists and turns and the test of time, as the age grew, and reality further and further the distance between the two sides, could the friendship between her and Lin Yan be as unaddicted as today?

Those students who are destined to be unable to enter Dongchuan No. 1 Middle School have a more direct and pale feeling. The dream lover or prince charming in their favorite walks into its neat campus with their heads raised, and they sigh at the high threshold. After a few years, are there any shadows that they turn yellow and become blurred in the other party’s memory?

So Qi Ran's behavior was understood. When time blurred the memory of the girl he liked, his figure was always a little more vivid than others. Perhaps many years later, someone would smile lightly when she mentioned it to her today and said, "Oh, that little boy." Thinking of this scene, it was a bit sweet after bitterness.

Some people are thinking about whether to go crazy like Qi Ran in the last day of reunion, leaving a memory for her or his youth, and leaving some thoughts for herself in the future; some students who can still touch the admission line of Dongchuan No. 1 Middle School hurriedly opened the book...

After a brief loss of consciousness, Zhao Zicong came back to his senses and winked at Chen Zhichao and the companions who followed him to attack Qi Ran, preparing to chase him out to see how Lin Yan taught Qi Ran a lesson. After returning, he could use it as a joke and show goodwill to Li Tianyi.

"Whatever you make, you're going crazy after more than two months of the high school entrance examination?" The roar of class teacher Wang Baofeng came from the corridor.

Wang Dapao was tall and strong, with fierce and bulging eyes. He didn't look like a Chinese teacher, but like a prison guard. His big leather shoes made the ground buzzing. When he walked to the podium, he glanced at the whole class, focused on Brother Zhao Zicong, and then picked up the blackboard and slapped it hard: "Be honest with me, my parents sent you to school, not to be naughty, fight, or do some small moves behind his back. Be careful, Lao Wang, I'm not polite!"

Wang Baofeng was in his early forties and had a straight and aggressive temper. He was one of the few teachers in the school who could defend the situation. Even Li Tianyi dared not be too arrogant in front of him.

Zhao Zicong had no choice but to be stared at Wang Baofeng's bulging eyes, and returned to his seat honestly, covered his face with books, and whispered to his friends. After all, he didn't dare to force Wang Dapao.

Noting the strange atmosphere in the classroom, Wang Baofeng simply sat behind the podium. At noon, students were not forced to stay in the classroom. Some students who were closer to the school went home for lunch and had lunch. There were more than a dozen empty seats in the classroom, including Lin Yan and Qi Ran's seats, which did not attract Wang Baofeng's attention.

If Wang Baofeng knew that his squad leader Lin Yan, who was the top scorer in Dongchuan City's 2008 high school entrance examination, was actually alone with the inconspicuous boys in the class, he would probably turn into Ultraman Diga instantly and smash the little monster Qi Ran to the scumbag with three punches and two kicks.

Lin Yan and Qi Ran stayed in the small garden behind the school office building. Because they were close to the office building where teachers were infested, there was not even a single student at noon. In fact, teachers rarely come here, and the most dangerous place is the safest.

From the beginning of leaving the classroom, Qi Ran's steps became a little weak, as soft as if he was stepping on a pile of cotton, his heart was beating, and hot sweat flowed down the back of his neck.

Forgive him. As an inconspicuous boy in the class, the other party is an arrogant and cold-tempered beauty. He had a close contact with the girl he liked for the first time, but when he had just had a misunderstanding, he was really under a lot of pressure.

Of course, it was not the first time Qi Ran was getting so close to Lin Yan, but it had been too long and too long last time, and at that time, it was impossible for her to feel as excited as she is now.

Qi Ran followed Lin Yan dejectedly, following her step by step, and she felt a little like going to the execution ground. She complained to herself in regret: I have only been more than two months old to do it, can't I leave her some beautiful memories? I really don't know what happened just now...

Even the spring breeze brought the fresh body fragrance of Lin Yan into his nose, but it failed to attract his attention.

Finally, Lin Yan stopped and walked with her head down without responding in time, almost hitting her, which made him even more embarrassed.

"You..." Lin Yan wanted to speak but stopped. She bit her lips gently, her chin, which was just right, raised slightly, her eyes were still clear, but there was something vaguely. The moment she touched Qiran became much softer, and a call seemed to have known each other for a long time.

Just die, Qi Ran plucked up his courage, raised his head, and stammered: "Yes, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean that way just now... Lin Yan, don't be angry, I believe your father is not a corrupt official... Oh, look at what I said..."

With a puff, Lin Yan chuckled.

She was laughing? She actually smiled? Qi Ran was speechless and was stunned. He looked at Lin Yan in disbelief. His cold face was indeed smiling. In an instant, the snow peaks melted, spring returned to the earth, and flowers bloomed all over the mountains and fields.

With a smile on his face, Lin Yan held Qi Ran's left hand, "But you should indeed apologize to me - why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The moment he was held by the lover in his dream, Qi Ran was stunned as if he had passed the electric shock. Lin Yan rolled up his sleeves, and a circle of scars appeared on the inside of his left wrist. If you look closely, you can tell it. Two neat and fine tooth marks, which should be bitten by a six or seven-year-old child, and there was still a missing front teeth, which was when changing the baby teeth.

The scars on the wrist seemed to open the key to the seal of time, and I remembered back to the summer nine years ago.

Because his mother was on a business trip, Qi Ran, who was about to go to elementary school, was taken to Longquan Coal Mine where his father worked for summer. Longquan Mountain behind the mining area is a famous tourist area with a breeze and a cool and pleasant atmosphere. He quickly got together with the children there, leaving behind innocent childhood laughter on the hills and on the roadside.

The meeting was in a quiet evening. The friends made an appointment to catch crabs by the stream. They went out a little late. So they carried a small bucket and flashlight, climbed over the hillside from the dormitory in the mining area alone, and rushed over the shortcut that few people walked.

Halfway through the road, the tender crying sound from the long-abandoned mine led Qi Ran over, lit up the flashlight, drilled into the dark mine, followed the crying sound, and then saw a cute girl wearing a goose yellow dress with a beautiful bow tied on her head, crying to reveal a lack of front teeth.

Lin Yan has been trapped in the mine for half an hour.

She followed her parents to "invest" - because Longjing Coal Mine is located next to the scenic area, the Industrial Bureau organizes this kind of inspection every summer, which is actually a kind of tourism benefit for employees and their families. The city's well-being departments, such as tobacco companies, often go to Hainan for "meetings".

Lin's father did not just bring his wife and daughter to play. He was busy checking the safety production management in the mine. Lin Yan was led by his mother. Lin's mother was pestered by the wives of several leaders in the mine to play mahjong. Xiao Lin Yan sneaked out, picking flowers and snatching butterflies, and having fun. He gradually walked into this mountain, was attracted by a little white rabbit and got into an abandoned mine cave.

At that time, the sunlight was shining from the ventilation shaft into the depths of the mine cave. Xiao Lin Yan was not very scared, but after chasing the little white rabbit around for a few bends, the little white rabbit ran away without shadow. The sunlight on the westward side no longer shined from the ventilation shaft. The mine cave was pitch black and the entrance he had just entered was not found.

The darkness invaded, the deep mine cave was like a monster's mouth, Xiaolin Yan shrank and cried loudly, drowned by boundless fear...

Until the flashlight pierced the darkness, the sloppy boy wearing vest shorts and plastic sandals and carrying a plastic bucket in his hand fell from the sky.

Unfortunately, the plot afterwards is not like a fairy tale. The prince saved the princess and lived happily together from then on.

Even when Qi Ran reached out to Lin Yan, the overly frightened little girl bit hard on the inside of his left wrist. The pain caused the flashlight held in his right hand to fall off and smash the light bulb.

Fortunately, Qi Ran entered this mine more than once and finally comforted Lin Yan. The two of them groped forward in the darkness and walked out of the mine with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Then the two children were shocked.

It was getting dark, and Deputy Director Lin's daughter disappeared unexpectedly. The Longquan Coal Mine was in trouble. There were teams looking for Lin Yan everywhere. The lights of flashlights and mine lights were flashing all over the mountains and fields, and shouts were heard one after another.

When Qi Ran was a child, he was beaten by his father a lot because of his naughtyness. Before he was seven years old, he didn't know whether such a big formation was caused by himself, nor did he know whether it was a blessing or a disaster. He just instinctively felt it had something to do with him, so he was scared.

He took Lin Yan down the mountain for a while and saw several searching employees coming towards this side. Qi Ran slipped away with no nerves. He hid in the distance and watched them find Lin Yan, shouting like a treasure, and then quietly left.

Lin Yan was sent to her mother who was very guilty of being blamed. She fell asleep in her mother's arms. After waking up, she mentioned her experience in the mine, and was undoubtedly regarded as a fantasy of her parents as her daughter.

Because of the excessive fright, the mine cave was very dark and outside. Lin Yan completely forgot Qi Ran's appearance. After three years with Qi Ran's classmate in junior high school, he didn't know that he was so close to him that he never gave up looking for the sloppy boy who took him out of the mine back then.

Qi Ran knew all this very well. When he returned to the dormitory, he heard about the disappearance of Deputy Director Lin's daughter, and he did not dare to tell his father. It was not until six years later that he went to Nanpu Middle School in junior high school and recognized Lin Yan as the little girl missing teeth in the mine that day.

However, the lonely and helpless little girl in the dark has become a beautiful and refined daughter of the deputy mayor's family. The young man who is in love will inevitably have a vague favor for a perfect girl like her, and he is even more reluctant to tell what happened back then.

If you do that, it seems like you are repaying kindness... Although Qi Ran is so ordinary that he is inconspicuous, he also has his own pride in his heart.

So he and her little secret were guarded for nearly three years.

Until today.

Feeling the slight coolness of Lin Yan's fingertips, Qi Ran blushed, pointed to the tooth marks on the inside of his wrist, and said nothing to say: "How did you know?"

"Ah, you played basketball in the last physical education class. I happened to see it," Lin Yan looked at Qi Ran angrily, letting go of his hand, Linlang's beautiful voice was filled with a hint of fatigue: "You, you have kept it from me for a long time!"

"Now, it seems that it's not too late," Qi Ran laughed and grabbed his scalp. He didn't remember that the last physical education class was the last cold wave in late spring. It was drizzling and the weather was slightly cool. He didn't take off his coat when he played basketball.

"Now..." Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, then Beauty Bing smiled: "It's really not too late."
