After the matter of washing pants in the water room passed, Qi Yun and Lu Wei fell into a protracted cold war. It's not like the two of them haven't quarreled before, although Qi Yun loves to be petty, but she is cheerful by nature, and the sky will be cloudless immediately after a moment of storm, often she softens her voice and pulls Lu Wei's hand and shakes it, and then tells a few jokes, she can hide a dispute into nothingness, and Lu Wei is not a person who is unforgiving; If the two of them broke up unhappily because of Lu Wei's fault, he would also borrow the school's public phone to call Qi Yun that night, at the latest the next day, and ask her to go to self-study together.

But more than a week has passed since this incident, Qi Yun didn't go to Lu Wei, and Lu Wei didn't come to Qi Yun. Qi Yun was laughing with his classmates as usual on the surface, but deep down he was angry and resentful, and there was inexplicable fear and worry. Especially when listening to Han Xiaoling's gossip that Lu Wei was still washing Gao Gang's pants and even helping Gao Gang brush his sneakers, Qi Yun's heart lit up a fire, this Lu Wei openly continued to let Gao Gang collapse himself, ignoring her Qi Yun's feelings and admonitions?!

The fire slowly went out, and Qi Yun couldn't help but think: It shouldn't be without reason for Lu Wei to do this. But what are the reasons? She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't come up with an eyebrow.

Uncle Chen, who happened to celebrate her birthday, called her on her mobile phone and asked her to go to one of the most upscale restaurants near the south gate of the school for dinner. Uncle Chen is more delicate and knows that the school food will not be much better, so he has always come to take Qi Yun to the nearby high-end restaurants to have a tooth sacrifice.

Qi Yun jumped up and down with his schoolbag on his back. Uncle Chen ordered a table full of dishes as usual, and stuffed Qi Yun with two bottles of red wine, saying that he went to France a while ago and brought back two bottles of red wine from the past, and asked Qi Yun to pass them on to his father.

Qi Yun nodded and took the red wine. The two bottles are slender and beautifully packaged, but they are not particularly valuable. She put the red wine in her school bag, grinned and sat back at the dinner table, munching on the case.

While eating, Uncle Chen kindly asked her about her study and life, and she answered them one by one. In the end, for some reason, I said to Uncle Chen:

"Uncle Chen, it's weird to have a girl's boyfriend in our dormitory."

"Oh?" Uncle Chen used chopsticks to hold a piece of treasure fish for Qi Yun, and asked with a smile, "What's weird?" ”

Qi Yun swallowed the dish in his cheeks and lit the plate in front of him with chopsticks.

"Hmm...... It seems to be from the countryside, and the family is quite poor. worked a few jobs at school and helped his classmates wash jeans to make money, and his girlfriend wanted to help him, but he was furious, and the two almost broke up. ”

Uncle Chen didn't eat the vegetables himself, picked up the Pu'er teacup at hand and sipped it slowly, his chubby face looked hazy and soft in the heat of the tea:

"I think that boy is very nice. How can a big man rely on his own woman? As for why you said why he worked a few jobs and washed jeans for his classmates to earn money, I don't know why, but I think that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, if it is not for the hurdle that cannot be passed, who of your age does not like to have fun? Who wants to put down their face and do such drudgery? ”

Qi Yun kept subconsciously poking the treasure fish on his plate until the fish meat was smashed into pieces. She bit the head of her chopsticks and nodded thoughtfully:

"Uncle Chen, you're right, I also think there should be some misunderstanding between the two of them."

After eating a meal, Qi Yun couldn't put the two bottles of red wine back in the dormitory, and he was full of how to solve the problem between him and Lu Wei. She calmed down and thought about it, and felt that the reason why Lu Wei didn't come to her these days, in addition to being angry, must be because there were some indescribable things and communication barriers between him and her! She had a plan and decided to go to Guo Xiaochuan first and take a roundabout route to understand the situation.

Guo Xiaochuan has always gotten along quite well with the cadres of the student union, including Qi Yun, who only occasionally played soy sauce in the student union. When Qi Yun humbly asked him about Lu Wei's situation, he showed a rare excitement, and his voice was high-pitched and trembling, but there were almost no tears.

"Extremely poor students like us rarely call home. Telephone bills are one thing, and it is not convenient to answer the phone at home. But that day, Lu Wei called home and came back, and I heard him say: His father was tired from working and injured his waist, so he was resting at home, and now his mother is doing the work in the field at home, and the family's livelihood is more difficult than usual...... His sister first found out about this, so she applied to work in the factory where she worked for a two-person shift, seven days a week, no days off, and had to work at least 16 hours a day to complete the task, so busy that she was in a hurry to eat and go to the toilet. In our hometown, almost every household has this kind of girl working in a factory, pitiful! Some girls are so sleepy that they are working under their hands, and their heads are planted on the assembly line of the machine, and I heard that there is a head planted on the assembly line recently, and when they get up again, the whole face is torn off by the machine, and it is more common to break hands and feet......

Qi Yun hissed lightly, and the nerves on his back tightened. It turned out that she had only seen such a terrifying scene in the corners of social news websites, and it was far away from her life. didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in the reality of the people around her...... Just a few days ago, she also scolded Lu Wei for belittling his self-esteem, isn't this like the Jin Dynasty emperor who "why not eat minced meat"? When Lu Wei heard what his father said, how uncomfortable he felt in his heart, you can guess if you don't say it. He immediately made a wish to his father: in the future, he will send back 800 yuan a month, his parents have suffered all his life, and now he is sick and buy some egg noodles to eat, especially his sister's side, don't work overtime, it's best to change to a lighter job, or I'm afraid that one day, it's too late to regret it......" Guo Xiaochuan continued to chatter: "I really admire Lu Wei, why do you say people are so capable?" I am also willing to turn on the water and wash the pants for my classmates, but none of our classmates are willing to pay 50 yuan for someone to wash a pair of pants, I really envy Lu Wei! “

Qi Yun was dumbfounded, not knowing if he was confused, or if the world was confused. She asked Guo Xiaochuan in a trembling voice:

"What do you say? Do you envy Lu Wei for finding a job washing a pair of jeans for 50 yuan? "Of course!" Guo Xiaochuan said confidently: "It takes more than half an hour to wash a pair of jeans, which is much easier than being a tutor, and you don't need to spend transportation expenses." And I heard that it is only more than 20 yuan to wash a pair of pants in a laundry outside, why is Qi Yun so rich in your class? Can you ......?"

Qi Yun looked at Guo Xiaochuan, with a look of envy on his face, he turned out to be an expression of "If there is such a good job in the future, please introduce it to me", Qi Yun was stunned for a while, nodded to him and said:

"Ogawa, don't worry. If there are any good work-study opportunities, I will keep an eye out for you. ”

"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance!" Guo Xiaochuan nodded desperately, and a look of hope floated into his eyes, "My classmates say that I am a miser, but I still spend a drop of sweat and eight petals of money dug out of the soil by my father and mother, can I do it if I don't keep money...... Qi Yun, thank you for helping me, I can do anything! I can work hard, especially to do a good job like Lu Wei, earn half of my own tuition and living expenses, and the other half for my family and younger siblings to study. ”

Saying goodbye to Guo Xiaochuan, Qi Yun kept feeling a buzzing in his head. She never thought that there was anything wrong with her outlook on life, but she thought about Guo Xiaochuan's words carefully and felt that he and Lu Wei were not wrong. It seems that right and wrong are originally the two sides of the same coin, and life is really a grand Rashomon.

With such emotion, Qi Yun found that her footsteps had reached the downstairs of Lu Wei's dormitory, she called Lu Wei's dormitory, it was Lu Wei himself who answered it, as soon as Lu Wei picked up the phone, Qi Yun said in a pretending relaxed tone:

"HI, Lu Wei, I'm Qi Yun! Let's come down and go to self-study together! ”

She pretended that nothing had happened between them. Because she realized the rift between the two people, but she didn't know how to bridge it, so she had to hope that she wouldn't mention it, and he wouldn't mention it, so that she would be more concerned and careful in the future to sympathize with his feelings, so that the two would not quarrel again.

But Lu Wei was silent for a while, and only after a while did he say, "I have to wait a while before I can go to self-study, I ...... I'm also going to brush up on my sneakers. ”

Qi Yun felt a pain in his heart. It's a sneaker from Takaoka, right? I heard Han Xiaoling say that the price of brushing a pair of sneakers is 100 yuan, and this price is estimated to make Guo Xiaochuan envious for a long time. Qi Yun stretched out the back of her hand and wiped a handful of tears on her face, deciding to pretend to be stupid to the end, so she filled her voice with a smile full of care:

"Sneakers? Okay, I'm waiting for you! ”

Lu Wei was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "Well, I'll do it as soon as possible." ”

Lu Wei really didn't let Qi Yun wait too long. By the time he wiped his hands and hurried downstairs holding his books, Qi Yun hadn't finished playing a game of Plants vs. Zombies on his phone. Lu Wei walked up to Qi Yun and didn't speak, just pouted in the direction of the self-study classroom, and then turned around and walked in front. Qi Yun held the book and took two steps to keep up with him.

The two walked side by side, casually talking about some topics related to schoolwork. The exam season of the senior year is coming, Lu Wei is talking to Qi Yun from time to time to check whether she has mastered the knowledge points of a few courses, Qi Yun is dealing with a headache, but at the same time, he can't help but feel happy that Lu Wei expressed his concern for her in this way, it seems that they have been in a cold war for more than a week, but he has not given up on her from the bottom of his heart. Qi Yun thought proudly that as long as he didn't give up on her, she would entangle him herself, and they would definitely be together forever.

After the final exam of the first semester of the senior year, they faced an internship, so they naturally talked about the internship together. There are also assignments to the internship unit, but most of the assignments are not ideal, or there is no chance to squeeze in after graduation, and there is no internship salary at all; The key is that the internship unit they are looking for is often the professional counterpart, and the unit itself also has the intention of recruiting, and often the internship period is the tacit inspection period of both parties, and if the internship period is good, it is likely to stay in the job after graduation.

Since the expansion of college enrollment after the emergence of a large number of graduates, people are floating in things, only with a bachelor's degree to easily get a good job of the years are gone, now there are many unemployed people after graduating from college, many students who are still excellent are afraid of falling into the unemployed team, so they take the postgraduate examination, take the doctoral examination, and have been studying to become a saint warrior. But with Lu Wei's family background, it is impossible for him to make such a choice, and Qi Yun is too lazy to read too many books, plus his mother also has the argument that girls will become dull and not easy to marry if they read too much, so it is the right time for the two to consider the issue of internship at this time.

It just so happened that Uncle Chen brought good news. He has invested in a new construction company, recently needed to recruit two project managers, said to be the project manager, in fact, it is nothing more than the preliminary preparation of the construction project, the work is relatively easy to get started, the treatment can be called generous in the intern salary, the only disadvantage is that the place of work is far away from the downtown area, in a nearby industrial zone, desolate and famous for the suburban county. However, Qi Yun felt that Lu Wei would not care, as long as Lu Wei didn't care, she didn't care.

Sure enough, as soon as Qi Yun mentioned it, Lu Wei hurriedly asked about it, and his tone was not only very interested, but also very excited. Qi Yun hid the background of the introducer, Uncle Chen, who arranged her luxurious birthday banquet, and just deliberately frowned and said something about how bad the surrounding environment of this internship unit is and how boring life is, but of course the result is as she expected, Lu Wei accepted them one by one without frowning, and he believed what Qi Yun said - this unit is really because of the location and poor working environment, so it can't recruit college graduates from the city to intern.

Qi Yun pursed his lips and smiled: "Then let's say okay, let's go to the internship together?" ”

"You're going too?" Lu Wei opened his mouth wide in surprise, thought for a while, and then nodded Qi Yun's forehead and said, "You don't want three and a half days of freshness, you think I'm going to go, and you also want to follow, and then you can't stand the boredom anymore, and run back crying." ”

"You can go, why can't I?" Qi Yun muttered softly, "Besides, if you go alone, you are afraid that you won't be bored, and the two of you will be together, but what else is boring?" ”

Lu Wei walked with his head down, and did not speak for a while. Qi Yun thought that some words had annoyed him again, so he put his hand in front of Lu Wei and waved lightly, "Hey! What do you think? ”

They happened to walk through the small garden in the school, and Lu Wei grabbed Qi Yun's sleeve and dragged her to the garden path.

He tugged at him without gentleness, Qi Yun struggled, and half-pushed and half-pushed him into the small garden of the school. Because of the ice and snow, in the summer, there are no lovers who are often hidden in the corners of the garden, but the scenery is so depressed that there is nothing to see, except for some dead vines and fallen leaves, which is a fountain at the end of the garden that stands against the iron gate.

Qi Yun just wanted to ask Lu Wei what kind of nerves he was experiencing, but when he looked up, he saw him looking at himself with a touched look on his face, gentle and blank, Qi Yun's heart moved, and he suddenly couldn't speak, just stared at him worriedly. A cold wind blew, Qi Yun shivered slightly, and Lu Wei immediately stood in the direction where the wind came from, and used his not strong body to block the wind for Qi Yun.

Lu was worried for a long time before he said:

"Qi Yun, thank you."

Qi Yun shrugged: "You're welcome, it's just a gesture." Besides, although the company is good, the working environment is really difficult, and our two young and promising graduates are willing to go for internships, which can be regarded as their burning incense! ”

Lu Wei sighed,

"Not for that."

Qi Yun was stunned for a moment and looked up at Lu Wei. Seeing him staring at himself gently, his heart warmed, and he nodded gently.

Lu Wei rubbed his frozen red nose, thought carefully for a long time, and then said word by word:

"Qi Yun, my life may be more ...... than you imagined Tough. I know that you are with me, and you have suffered a lot; What's worse is that I still can't promise that you won't be suffering for a long time to come......"

Qi Yun bit his lower lip and gently shook Lu Wei's hand. She also gently apologized:

"That day...... The thing that is that I am not good. ”

Lu Wei shook his head,

"Qi Yun, I don't know what to say...... However, I will definitely be good to you in the future! ”

His words made Qi Yun's heart sweet, emotional, and aggrieved, and all kinds of surging emotions poured into his eyes, and his eyes felt sour and tight. She didn't want to shed tears, afraid that her tears would expose her vulnerability, and she was afraid that her first-class tears would make Lu Wei even more sad, but she couldn't help it, and tears flowed out of her eyes like a small spring.

Lu Wei gently stretched out his hand, solemnly took Qi Yun into his chest, let him sobble against his embrace, and slowly patted her back to comfort her. Qi Yun suddenly remembered the two small bottles of red wine in his backpack, and with an idea, he pushed Lu Wei away and turned around to rummage through his schoolbag.

She grimaced at Lu Wei with a smile:

"Here, have a drink! The two of us said that it was hard to chase the horse! ”

Lu Wei watched Qi Yun take out a beautifully packaged bottle of red wine from his schoolbag, and his eyes straightened in surprise. The girl who promised to be good to her for the rest of her life always has unexpected little movements, how weird and incredible it seems, uh...... Didn't he know her well enough?

But before he knew her better, he had fallen into her sweet trap, and now his heart was warm, only pretending to be her coquettishness and tenderness. Qi Yun snatched the drinking cup in Lu Wei's hand and was about to take it to the study room to be used as a container for pouring wine, he wanted to count Qi Yun's nonsense, or what kind of wine did the students drink. But then I think about it, both of them have been standing in this cold wind for a long time, and it is good to drink two sips of wine to warm up their bodies.

What's more, when he saw her tears just now, the taste in his heart was so sour, as if he was being torn apart, and he was reluctant to let her down again.

Qi Yun got the wine bottle and was about to pour it into Lu Wei's cup, when he suddenly became worried:

"How can two people drink only one cup?"

Before Lu Wei could come back to his senses, Qi Yun had already pulled him to a faucet that supplied water to the small fountain. Fortunately, the faucet did not freeze, and when Qi Yun stretched out his hand and twisted it, water gushed out of it.

Qi Yun took a glass of water from Lu Wei's cup, placed it firmly on the pool table, and then hid herself in Lu Wei's arms.

Lu Wei rubbed her face gently, Qi Yun's skin was a little tight in the cold weather, but it was still blown. But when they tossed and touched each other's lips, they found that their lips were both hot and hot.

Before his lips were glued together, Lu Wei asked in a daze:

"What are you doing with water?"

However, without waiting for an answer, he was intoxicated by the thickest and sweetest throbbing of youth, Qi Yun covered his face with two hands wearing woolen gloves, and he immediately felt a sweet fragrance rush into his nostrils, and his heart was also grabbed by overwhelming warmth. In the interval between the two lips, he heard Qi Yun leaning against his chest and saying:

"Is your sister tired from work right now? Why don't you let her come to our city, and I ask my dad to help me figure out something, okay? ”

Lu Wei's body trembled, and he shook his head decisively. These are his problems, men's problems, although since the last birthday banquet, Lu Wei vaguely understood that Qi Yun's family has a bit of a background, so Qi Yun, who was born in a family, does not dislike her and is willing to help him, he is not unmoved, but he must not use these burdens to make Qi Yun worried, how can he let Qi Yun's father come forward to arrange his family? Then how can he be a man in front of Qi Yun in his life? What's more, he is about to do an internship, and then he will graduate. He will create a future with his hands, for all the people he loves, including his sister, parents, and even Qi Yun.

Qi Yun saw that Lu Wei's face was solemn, worried that he would be unhappy, so he immediately shut up. She smiled and picked up the cup by the pool, poured it head-down, and a "ice cube" with a complete appearance and gurgling water inside appeared in front of Lu Wei's eyes, Lu Wei scratched his head, still didn't understand what Qi Yun was doing, Qi Yun didn't reveal it, raised one eyebrow and gave him a mischievous smile, and then used the cup to make a glass of water, still solemnly placed on the edge of the pool waiting for it to freeze.

After the second glass of water was also molded into a complete "ice cube", Qi Yun unexpectedly smashed the layer on top of the ice shell, and then spilled the ice water inside and emptied it, Lu Wei was dumbfounded to find that she had an extra crystal clear "wine glass" made of ice in each of her hands.

"If you have a degree, you can at least get a postdoc." Lu Wei was truly impressed. It can be seen where people's time is spent. However, looking at the joy that was twitching in the corners of Qi Yun's eyes and eyebrows, he didn't say anything, just took a woolen glove handed over by Qi Yun, and the "ice cup" padded with a woolen glove.

Qi Yun Tingting poured red wine into both glasses, and the bright red liquid circulated in the ice, indescribably crystal clear, and it didn't look like a thing in the world. At this time, the moon came out of the lotus petal-like clouds, gilding everything around with a layer of silver-white brilliance, and suddenly the world was quiet, quite like a melancholy old joy like a dream.

The cup in Qi Yun's hand lightly touched Lu Wei's,

"This cup, I wish us youth without regrets and immortality, and we all have a prosperous future."

Don't look at Qi Yun's usual cowardice, but when he speaks at a critical moment, he can often suppress the scene. Lu Wei sighed a little, handed the ice cup to his mouth, and was afraid of breaking his lips, so he had to dry the wine in the cup in one go.

Qi Yun raised his eyebrows and smiled, and poured another cup for the two of them.

"This cup, may we love each other forever, to this day."

Lu Wu's chest shook, and all kinds of tastes came up. He took the initiative to touch Qi Yun's wine glass, and the two of them drank it all again.

Qi Yun poured the wine again, Lu Wei frowned, and was about to stop it, but Qi Yun had already shook his hand and said in a tired voice:

"Just one last drink, okay?"

Lu Wei doesn't drink often, and after two glasses of red wine, he already has a bit of alcohol in his stomach, and his limbs and bones are warm; And Qi Yun's voice and Yingying's flowing eye waves were obviously overwhelming. Lu Wei thought about it, but still relied on her,

"Alright, just one last drink."

Qi Yun smiled innocently and filled the two ice glasses with wine. "In the third cup, may we be with each other in good times and bad, rich or poor, happy or sorrowful, and never leave each other, and be together forever."

Qi Yun was stunned when he saw Lu Wei, this was a long and sincere oath. It seems that it should be a man who swears to a woman, but Qi Yun is worried that if he doesn't say it, he won't say it, and if he doesn't say it, everything will seem to be empty. If she doesn't love Qiyun, once she does, it must be forever. She knew that he had concerns, but he didn't dare to say it, so it was up to her to say it, anyway, it's all the same, since you love each other, there is no need to care about who pays more and who pays less.

She raised her arm, ran the hand holding the ice glass through the crook of Lu Wei's arm, and then brought the wine to her lips.

Lu Wei hesitated for a moment, and brought the wine to his mouth, and the two of them drank with each other, and their faces were also dyed with the color of red wine, and they were slightly drunk.

Qi Yun leaned softly into Lu Wei's arms and murmured, "You promised me that we will always be together." “

Lu Wei said: "Well, we will be together forever, I promised." “

As he spoke, his eyes looked at the black and blue sky in the distance. For some reason, even in such a blissful and sweet moment, the feeling of uneasiness was like an arrogant kitten, gently scratching at his heart.
