Cheng Ran instantly seemed like a creature that had lost the ground under his feet and was floating in the universe.

The world is still that world, including the classrooms of the junior high school and the locust trees that shelter the sky next to the school building.

But a lot of things in this world are different.

It's like the computer or the same computer, the position of the chip on the hardware has not changed, but the software installed on it has changed. The name of the country has changed, the ideology has changed, and what has been derived from this land has also changed.

Is this a parallel world?

Instead of directly returning to the familiar world of the past, he came to a parallel world that was different from the previous world, is this fortunate or unfortunate?

But seeing Yu Xiao beside him, the junior high school teachers, and everyone familiar in this classroom, Cheng Ran's heart settled down a little.

Cheng Ran stabbed Yu Xiao with his elbow, who was already about to cry, "I want to go to class well, you let me go......"

"Who's that?" he said, pointing to a stranger in the classroom.

"He, Dou Xiao, Ma Biao and others are in the same unit, you don't know, classmates in the third year of junior high school!"

How can I have the slightest impression...... And Cheng Ran swore that in his memory, there was no such person at all!

Could it really be a parallel world, where some things and people are still in their own orbit, like the trunk of a big tree, but with a lot more leaves or branches?

The bell rang for the end of class, and the next class was physical education, and people came to the playground one after another, and after running, most of the physical education class was free time.

At this time, Yang Xia came straight to Cheng Ran, who was watching the school in the shade of the tree, and said calmly, "You come with me." ”

Yang Xia was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt, a pair of cotton sweatpants with a soft texture on the lower body, and her black hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, but her face was not good in the face of Cheng Ran, and she turned around and left after speaking, leaving a group of people gloating and looking at Cheng Ran.

Generally speaking, if a girl is so blatantly dating a boy in physical education class, especially a girl who attracts attention like Banhua Yang Xia, I am afraid that someone will already be coaxed, and all kinds of gossip will spread.

Xiao Yang Xia has had a lot of vigorous events, not long ago it was a friend of hers who was joking unabashedly by boys in other classes, and the words were ugly, which made other girls angry and cried, but Yang Xia heard that and rushed directly to someone else's class, and called that person out to kick the ankle. That man is also a very good person in his class, but he can only raise his hands in the face of her.

And no matter if Yang Xia and anyone spread the scandal, it is impossible to be with Cheng Ran in front of him.

Because everyone knows that Cheng Ran is one of the mighty troops in their compound who have admired her with a clear nose since she was a child, and she is nothing special.

Whether it is the compound or the whole class, everyone knows that he likes Yang Xia, and this kind of Cheng Ran's self-righteous crush has long been known to everyone, even the adults in the compound unit.

The old man guarding the gate often shook his head with pity at him who had just woken up and rushed to class, "It's late again...... People, Xiao Yang Xia, five minutes ahead of you, caught up with the train in front!"

Now thinking back to all kinds of things at that time, and he is still in this era, Cheng Ran is a little painful for some reason.

Yang Xia had already been waiting for him in the shade of that mottled tree.

As soon as Cheng Ran came to him, he suffered a "critical hit" from the girl's face like frost.

"What the hell are you thinking? It's been the last month, and you're doing very well now? You're going to make a bet with Butcher Li? You've heard what he said, and he wants you to review the whole school, and he's going to put you in the file! You don't understand, it's not a matter of asking parents now, it's just asking parents, and he doesn't admit it! Now it's a question of your future!"

"Butcher Li was once expelled, how much privacy is this, who dares to make it public? You are amazing, you are a student, you dare to stand up, don't think you are a hero? You are just naïve and naïve...... He's going to really make you look good!"

Listening to the girl in front of him say that she was "naïve", Cheng Ran felt extremely kind, Yang Xia was the girl he had a crush on from childhood to middle school, and at this time in front of him, it was so real, he could even smell the faint laurel-like breath from her body, listening to her words, not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but enjoyed it, and said, "Of course he didn't dare to invite his parents, did he want to publicize that matter to everyone? Is it necessary to save face with a scum teacher who likes to receive gifts, trust relationships, drill the camp to tie up leaders, squeeze out colleagues, and don't really educate with his heart, and has a bad character?"

"Is it time for you to talk back? If it weren't for your mother entrusting me to stare at you and report to you, do you think I would have the leisure to tell you this? Do you want me to tell Aunt Xu to know?"

"Okay, listen to you......" Cheng Ran casually pulled a grass stalk from the flower bed and held it in his mouth, feeling the greenness.

"What's the matter with your perfunctory tone? Cheng Ran, it's not that you question him now, but what abilities and qualifications do you have? You don't have the ability to compete with him at all...... We are students now, and we can only study hard, and this is our biggest task. ”

Yang Xia twisted her eyebrows, and the Cheng Ran in front of her was no longer the same as the previous appearance of holding her eyebrows and eye sockets under her cold tone, as if she had changed a person.

In the gestures, it is a faint sprinkling, and even a little ...... Let her indescribable, indescribable temperament.

In the middle of time, the young man held the grass stalk in his hands and leaned against the trunk of the tree, and his reprimand for him was like listening to the sound of heaven at the corner of his mouth with a faint smile.

Yang Xia was also a little flustered, so her tone strengthened a lot. It seems that if you say the key words, you can beat Cheng Ran back to his original form. Now this impeccable state makes her a little flustered.

But thinking of something, Yang Xia slowly became solemn again, "Cheng Ran, don't think I want to care about you, how many points will you score in this mock test?421! Even if you get a perfect score of 50 points in sports, how much is it still different from the admission line of about 600 in the city's No. 1 Middle School?"

"You can't go to a middle school or high school, and you don't plan to go to a middle and high school, I know, so you give up on yourself and challenge Li Chu in this way! But you can't bear it? You can also go to other schools, take the second middle school as an example, last year's admission score was also 520 points, you can work hard, you can still be admitted to this school, or you can go to the fourth middle school that is also admitted with a score of 470 in a proper manner. ”

"But if you make such a fuss today, which school would dare to ask you?"

Cheng Ran thought that you were really right, yes, in his previous life, when he was in the high school entrance examination, he was directly brushed off the first middle school and fell into the fourth middle school of the third grade. Since then, he knew that the fate of Yang Xia, Yu Xiao and others had begun to divide.

He watched Yang Xia rise and fall in a middle and high school, among the celebrities of their year, Yang Xia was definitely one of them, and later it was said that there was an equally legendary boy who chased her out of the country, and many years later, the deeds of the two are still far away.

"I know, I'll be admitted to a middle school and high school. Cheng Ran responded, "This bet is really valid." ”

Yang Xia's face gradually became cold, "If you do this again, I'm angry!"

Belch...... I still thought I was fooling her.

Cheng Ran felt that he now seemed to hold the biggest secret of the whole world, but he had to grit his teeth and dig this secret into his heart.

Yang Xia really turned his head and ignored him, and crossed his position, and was already about to throw him a back to leave, and the side face like a frost and snow was in the light, even if he was angry, it was also a little dazzling.

Cheng Ran said softly, "By the way, is Jiang Xiaochao still secretly writing love letters to you?"

Jiang Xiaochao is one of the children in the compound, and he is famous for often handing love letters to Yang Xia and repeatedly defeating and fighting, which has become the biggest stain on his later life, thinking of these interesting places in the compound, Cheng Ran can't help but smile.

But Yang Xia was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with strange eyes, "Who is Jiang Xiaochao?"

Cheng Ran was stunned, "What about Dong Lan, that Alan...... It's okay. ”

Dong Lan is Yang Xia's good friend in the compound, a quirky girl, when the golden age of Hong Kong dramas came, when the popularity was hot, Dong Lan often learned those Cantonese "fashionable" words made people laugh, so everyone called her "Alan".

In Dong Lan's context, Yang Xia is called Ah Xia, Cheng Ran is called Cheng Zai, and Yu Xiao is called Xiao Shuizai......

Yang Xia stopped suddenly, and could hear the fire in her tone, "Are you having fun teasing me?" Cheng Ran, can you be normal!"

Cheng Ran felt his heart suffocated, staring at Yang Xia, his eyes seemed to have turned into two holes, and inside were endless abysses, and after a while, his voice trembled a little and asked, "There is no such person, is it?"

Yang Xiazai looked at him carefully, and then said word by word, "Cheng Ran, do you know where you disappointed? It's that I can't see the weight of the word "serious" in you. It seems that anything can be used as a joke. ”

Her face, which can be seen at this age, is like a glacier, "I hope that after many years, your life will not be a joke!"

She dropped this sentence and turned around, the pink figure of the sweatshirt faded away, but it left Cheng Ran in place and lost her soul.

Cheng Ran then found Yu Xiao, and even inquired and inquired about the classmates he knew who could speak.

He took out a notebook and kept writing down people's names.

The tip of the fountain pen is in the notebook, and the hand copy is scarred because of the strength of the back of the paper.

Cheng Ran didn't know how long it would take to get out of school, he only knew that in the end, even the students on duty in the entire classroom were gone, and he was the only one left.

The red sunset was shining through the window, with the afterglow of the mountain range about to set, shining the last of its temperature on the side of his face and body. The shadow stretched long on the ground.

Cheng Ran pulled out his schoolbag from the drawer, walked out of the school, walked down the ramp, got into the car, and went up and down along the car, he was in the single seat in the penultimate row, his face was leaning against the glass, and everything in Shanhai City was reflected in his eyes.

The familiar powder shop has begun to close, the stationery store where the signboard has been replaced still has students who are in love with each other, the fried potato stall on the corner of the old street where the mother-in-law put the pot on the pot comes from the fragrant smell, the old house on the bluestone road has the sound of stir-frying vegetables, the lake surface on the road around the lake is still sprinkled with sparkling waves like gold coins, and the streets full of sycamores on both sides are full of people who are in a hurry for life under the meteors that cross and fly in the sky.

Everything that touched her eyes was so familiar, and the city she had lived in had not disappeared, but she had become extremely strange, and she had another name.

Shanhai City.

It is like a gift from the great power of the Creator, but with the gift of this mountain and sea, some things have been taken away from him.

There are many names on the handcopy in Cheng Ran's hand, some of which were circled by him, and some were crossed by him.

The people who drew the circle were people who were still in this world and she was familiar with, such as Yang Xia and Yu Xiao......

And those who are crossed out are those who have disappeared, those who have never appeared in this world.

Jiang Xiaochao, Dong Lan, Zhang Jun, Wang Wei, Li Yadong, Zhang Ping, Liu Yuchao, Daniel Zhang, Wang Jun, Deng Jianguo, Li Bo......

These old friends who used to be like old dogs, those who reminded him of strong tea, those old wines, those faces that made him unforgettable or in love.

Their names are all crossed, so cold, and so cruel.

"Can you discuss it...... Can you discuss it?"

The bus moved forward in shaking, but with the tighter and tighter the handwritten manuscript, Cheng Ran's eyes turned red and his vision blurred.

Cheng Ran found that it was like a part of his life, forcibly and savagely torn apart, taken away, or stuffed into a bottomless abyss, or entered a gap in time and space, and this was something he could not do as a small human being.

The past and the present, far away from time and space!

Cheng Ran couldn't stand it anymore, and water overflowed his eyes.

He already felt the shock of being hit by the power of time and space.

Helpless sorrow permeated his entire chest, and he wept on the bus, on the street, and his eyes blurred with tears all the way, until he finally found the familiar building and the door, and pushed open it with trembling hands.

The parents who were setting the dishes on the table turned their heads and looked at Cheng Ran in surprise.

The two of them, who were obviously much younger, were about to say something, when Cheng Ran suddenly pounced, crashed into his father's chest, stretched out his hand to hug him, and a familiar and generous aura enveloped him.

At that moment, there was a gate in the most painful part of his heart that was broken by the surging tide, and he burst into tears and cried loudly.

Every moment of the day, we always pass by some people, or part ways with acquaintances at intersections.

But you never know, it could be the last time you'll see each other in your life.

And that's even worse.

Too late to say goodbye, never again.
