Get the perfect music system at the start

Xu Fan could sense it, but he didn't say anything.

The children stubbornly returned home, while Xu Fan and his two companions went to school.

Someone donated the money needed to rebuild the school, but construction hasn't started yet, as it was only a few days ago.

The school was also quite dilapidated, so Xu Fan decided to rest there for the night.

They don't plan to stay in Zhoucheng for long; they'll leave tomorrow.

Although there is still time, they have too much to do.

Li Xiaoran is leaving, which is indeed a sad thing for the children.

In the dead of night in Zhoucheng, the moon was bright and the stars were few.

The construction workers rebuilding the houses also stopped what they were doing, making the city seem much quieter.

Xu Fan lay on the made-up bed, and for a moment he found himself unable to sleep.

The fat man was already fast asleep; clearly, the bumpy ride of the past two days had left him exhausted.

Xu Fan sat up helplessly and walked out of the room.

The night in this small town wasn't brightly lit; the moon was just obscured by a cloud, and only streaks of starlight shone everywhere.

The city is so quiet that you can hear birds chirping and insects buzzing.

The weather in Chengdu in early autumn is still hot, but it feels quite comfortable in this city.

A gentle breeze blew as Xu Fan arrived at the school's playground.

In reality, the so-called playground was just a flat area without grass, with a broken ping-pong table on it. This was probably the only sports facility in the school.

Xu Fan was stunned when he saw the girl sitting on the ping-pong table.

The ping-pong table is damaged; the net in the middle has been replaced with a brick, and one corner of the table is broken.

The other side looks better.

Li Xiaoran sat there with her knees in front of her chest, head down, her hair loose, seemingly lost in thought.

As Xu Fan approached, he discovered that Li Xiaoran was listening to music.

The song is "Your Answer".

Perhaps it was the loneliness of the late night, or perhaps it was the reluctance to part with her as she was about to leave.

Perhaps she couldn't find the answer on her journey, or perhaps she was struggling with what to do next.

Xu Fan didn't deliberately lower his pace; he didn't think there would be any fun in intimidating a girl.

Li Xiaoran heard footsteps, turned around and saw Xu Fan.

Xu Fan said, "Aren't you afraid it's so late?"

Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, "The reason I like it here is because it's simple, I don't see any danger, so I'm not afraid."

Xu Fan didn't lecture her with grand principles or talk about things like how beautiful she is.

He simply nodded and asked, "Why aren't you resting yet?"

"I can't sleep."

Li Xiaoran jumped off the ping-pong table and looked at Xu Fan, asking, "What about you? Why aren't you asleep either?"

Xu Fan thought for a moment, then laughed.

Li Xiaoran smiled too, because she knew Xu Fan couldn't sleep either.

She took a few steps forward, and Xu Fan naturally followed.

The cloud just happened to avoid the moon.

The moonlight streamed down from the sky and fell directly on Li Xiaoran.

That long hair looked very flowing, and Xu Fan walked over to the side.

The two stood side by side, looking at the city lights in the distance. Li Xiaoran said, "It's been seven months since I came here."

Xu Fan glanced at the girl beside him and said, "I admire your courage."

Li Xiaoran smiled slightly, and Xu Fan looked at her profile; she was very beautiful.

Li Xiaoran said, "I'm planning to leave tomorrow. Could you please tell the children for me?"

Xu Fan asked, "Are you really not going to say hello?"

Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, "You know, I'm quite sentimental. I can't stand seeing children cry, and I worry about them when they come home. Bringing them back is my duty, and it's something I have to do."

Xu Fan nodded and asked, "Have you thought about what to do in the future?"

Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, "Not yet, let's take the exam first."

This answer is both general and realistic.

Most people feel this way when facing the future: confused and at a loss.

The only thing we can do is finish what we have to do now.

Let's see about it later.

The air suddenly became quiet.

I don't know if it was a cloud that had passed by that was blown back by the wind, or a new cloud that passed by the moon.

The moonlight faded, leaving only twinkling starlight.

It suddenly got dark, but the night was still quite beautiful.

Looking out from the edge of the school playground, the city that is being rebuilt is actually quite beautiful.

Under the starlight, a river flows quietly in the distance.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Xiaoran suddenly asked, "Will we ever see each other again?"

Xu Fan hadn't expected her to ask this question, but it was indeed a question worth considering.

He thought for a moment and said, "We'll definitely meet again when we meet again."

Li Xiaoran said, "I hope we can meet again next time. I'm going to rest now."

Xu Fan said, "Okay."

Xu Fan and Li Xiaoran met at this school in this city, and they both happen to be at this school in this city at this time.

They didn't have a very deep relationship; in fact, this was only the second time.

Even if the second time they were together, it would take a relatively longer period of time.

Moreover, they crossed a distance between Chengdu and Zhoucheng.

Li Xiaoran returned to her room, and Xu Fan watched her disappear without shaking his head or sighing.

He looked back at the city; the night was quiet.

"Xu Fan, can I take a few minutes of your time?"

Li Xiaoran, who had closed the door and then reopened it, peeked out with half her head and asked in a low voice.

Xu Fan smiled slightly and said, "Of course."

Li Xiaoran also smiled, a very sweet smile.

Under the night sky, the two people's shadows appeared short under the starlight, but stretched long as the moonlight appeared.

Li Xiaoran took out two pieces of chewing gum from her hand and handed one to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan was taken aback and said, "You went in just to get the chewing gum?"

Li Xiaoran said, "No, that's not true."

Xu Fan took the chewing gum and said, "I feel like you're insulting me."

Li Xiaoran chuckled as she stood by the playground, her floral dress fluttering in the wind.

Xu Fan said, "Chengdu is in the south, right?"

Li Xiaoran hummed in agreement, then said, "According to the regional classification, I'm from the South, and you seem to be too."

Xu Fan hummed in agreement and then asked, "Long Province is in the Northwest, and Chengdu is in the Southwest. Have you had any trouble adjusting after being here for so long?"

Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, "People here also eat spicy food, it's alright, it's just that they eat a lot of noodles, which I don't really like."

It doesn't rain as easily as in Chengdu. Although the moonlight is sometimes blocked by clouds at night, the weather is slightly cool.

Li Xiaoran chewed her gum and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just wanted to sit with you for a while, even if we don't talk."

Xu Fan was taken aback, and Li Xiaoran continued, "Thank you."

Xu Fan smiled and said, "I can't sleep anyway."

Li Xiaoran chuckled, then quickly covered her mouth and said, "Do you usually speak so simply and directly?"

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Is that so?"

Li Xiaoran then said, "I've read your story. Is your mother feeling better now?"

Xu Fan nodded and said, "I'm much better now. I'm resting at home. To be honest, I miss her quite a bit."

Li Xiaoran suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan looked at her subconsciously, both of his eyes were bright.

They all looked very dark and beautiful at night, though Xu Fan's black-rimmed glasses were negligible.

The air was completely silent.

The two of them just stared at each other.

Given Xu Fan's personality, there was definitely no chance of sparks flying, so being stared at like that by Li Xiaoran left him feeling quite bewildered, and he decided to do something about it.

Li Xiaoran looked into Xu Fan's eyes and thought they were really beautiful, and his face was quite pleasing to the eye.

But being stared at by Xu Fan like that made her blush a little, thankfully it was nighttime.

Li Xiaoran thought to herself, "It's not good to just keep watching like this. As a guy, why don't you say a word?"

I'm most afraid of the sudden silence, I'm most afraid of...
