Summer of the No orange flavor (author Uokuro)
1
It's only May, and the weather in Zhejiang is slowly getting hot
Come.
At noon, the sky was bright and dazzling, the branches of the weeping willows by the roadside were motionless, the shadows of the trees were shrunk into a ball, the leaves covered with a layer of dust were curled with bananas, and the asphalt was softened by the sun.
I've been working in the city since I graduated
saved some savings, but despite the opposition of his family, he bought the bubble tea shop next to Hangzhong.
During the renovation, I looked at the neon light in front of the store
The word "encounter" was staggered yesterday: "This signboard has also been changed." โ
"Okay miss, for what?"
โZeroใโ
After saying this, I let out a deep breath and stared at this
The bubble tea shop was distracted, which was probably saying goodbye to my youth.
I've been busy with the decoration of the bubble tea shop for a month, and I'm tired
When his legs seemed to be filled with lead, he threw himself on the bed as soon as he entered the door, covering his face with a pillow, and recalling the bits and pieces of going to school in Hangzhou.
At that time, we always had infinite hopes and thoughts for the future
I can do everything boldly, why did I become cowardly when I grew up?
"Ding Dong,"
The phone rang at an inopportune time, and I reluctantly reached out
A head stared.
A sentence is clearly written on the screen.
"Tomorrow party, are you coming?" There are only two words in the sender column - Lu Ling.
ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
My mind felt like I had knocked over a bottle of orange soda, goo
Bubbles bubbling, accompanied by a sour refreshing sensation.
Just like when I first met Lu Lingshi that year.
The orange soda hadn't finished yet, and I picked it up in a daze
The mobile phone replied, "Send me the address." โ
Lu Ling was my first love, when I was a sophomore in high school in Hangzhou
I like him, the first time we met was in the "encounter" bubble tea shop, and then I like to go to the bubble tea shop whenever I have time, talk about the future, and fantasize about what our life will be like in the future, sometimes staying all day.
It's strange that we don't seem to get tired of it at that time.
We were there in the last few months of our senior year
Sitting opposite to brush up on the questions and review, when you are tired, order a drink slowly, and then continue to work hard.
We agreed to go to Zhejiang University together, and agreed to write each other into our future.
It is because of this belief that I have always supported me, so I worked hard throughout my junior year of high school.
I think, I really liked Lu Ling at that time.
It's just that the rest of the story is always unsatisfactory.
I have fantasized many times about the love I had when I met Lu Ling again
Jing, but I didn't think about it, we just nodded to each other, even if we said hello, we didn't even say "hello".
I'm glad that the round table was chosen for this meeting, and I was able to sit down
Opposite Lu Ling, if it was a square table, then we would definitely sit diagonally tacitly.
"Brother Lu,"
Several boys who had a good relationship with Lu Ling in the past beckoned to him, and Lu Ling smiled and stepped forward to greet them.
Looking at the smiling teenagers in front of me, I finally realized
By now, everyone has grown up, and Lu Ling is no longer the shy teenager who can purse his lips and smile.
During the meal, everyone toasted each other scenely.
Lu Ling also raised his wine glass and looked at me in silence.
His eyes no longer seemed to be as clear as before, so quiet that they seemed to be a deep pool, and he couldn't see the bottom.
I took a deep look at him, and the moment my eyes staggered,
I felt a hint of stage fright in his eyes.
I hooked the corners of my lips, filled a glass of red wine, and leaned back slightly
head, drink it all.
The scarlet liquid became more alluring in the dim light, flowing through the throat with a hint of it
It's so spicy that I want to cry.
The empty glass glittered with loneliness, and a few drops remained on the wall of the glass
Red wine speaks of obscure sadness.
With a smile in my eyes, I lit up the bottom of my cup at Lu Ling.
Lu Ling's thin lips were slightly, and after a while, he also drank the wine in the cup.
Not all farewells are as loud as they are written in the book
Lielie, just like I didn't expect at the beginning, we never crossed paths after this glass of wine.
I just remember that we looked at each other and smiled, so far, I and his death
It's over.

That's what I liked with me for seven years as a teenager, in my poverty
The encounter in the barren youth amazed me for the rest of my life, but unfortunately I was young and ignorant, and I couldn't grasp the red line of fate, so I could only watch it disappear little by little with the wind and sand of time.

When I was studying in Hangzhou, I liked the school next door the most
"Encounter" bubble tea shop. At that time, there was no air conditioning in the store, only an old fan creaking overhead, and all that came out was a warm breeze.
But I still love to stay there, it always gives me an inexplicable sense of belonging.
Early summer is always hot and dry, not just the weather. I'm going with you
Chang ordered a glass of orange soda and flipped through the book to review boredly.
A pen next to me knocked on my forehead lightly: "Review well, no one will help you in the next monthly exam." โ
I rubbed my head disapprovingly and muttered, "Who let you."
The kid secretly studied behind my back, and said that they would paddle together, and as a result, you improved by more than 100 at once. โ
Qi Xing pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, the gold-rimmed frames
Faintly shining, he said lightly: "This test paper is very simple, but you have regressed." โ
I snorted disdainfully, Qi Xing is my twin brother
Brother, this kid must have stolen my IQ when he was in his mother's womb, and he threw me off several streets from childhood to adulthood.
Our high school implements a class system, with 50 students in a class
The ranking score of the monthly examination grade, and the examination room of the next monthly examination is also based on this.
In the past, with my superior cheat sheet skills and telepathy with Qi Xing, I was able to shorten the gap between us to within fifty each time.
But! This time in the monthly exam, he rushed directly to the first class! What do I do! How could he endure it
Leave me alone to face the exam!
I frustratedly stirred the ice cubes floating in the cup, on the walls of the cup
The small droplets gradually slipped down and finally snapped and fell on the table, leaving a shallow puddle of water.
Gently bite the straw, the cool orange flavor mixed with bubbles explodes on the taste buds, from the tip of the tongue to the bottom of the heart, one bite down, indescribably cold to quench thirst.
Lu Ling came in at this time, and I vaguely remember that
He wore a white shirt, ironed it well, and the buttons at the collar were neatly buttoned, and the whole person seemed to be shining.
So much so that many years later, when I recalled the scene when I first met him, all the details were blurred, and only the white color was deeply imprinted in my mind.
My first reaction was, "He's so handsome." โ
It was as if all the soda I had just drunk was gurgling, and there was a sense of sweetness all over my body.
"Okay, okay, look! Super - level handsome guy! I said to Qi Xing in a long voice.
"Qi Qi, this is already what you met this week
The one hundred and eighth super-level handsome guy. Qi Xing learned my tone and said disgustedly, "Wipe your saliva, shame,"
Mobile phone on bedside cabinet at night while lying in bed in a daze
Suddenly, there was a sound, and I took a closer look, it was a message from Qi Xing.
What, I obviously live next door, so I have to send a message to say.
"Our class Lu Zero, QQ will help you arrive." Attached later
A string of numbers.
To be honest, it took me a long time to remember this
It's the handsome guy I met at noon, but I didn't expect Qi Xing, this kid, to pretend to be disgusted on the surface, and he helped me get QQ behind my back.
I was excited for a long time, then picked up my phone and replied: "Thank you, Xingxingmua, I love you to death."
Of course, in exchange for Qi Xing's disgusting voice.
I don't care, I happily added Lu Ling's QQ,
The other party quickly agreed.
Lu Ling's QQ avatar is a little orange cat, and his nickname is also very simple - "0", I thought for a while and changed the original screen name to "77".
"Who are you?"
"Hahaha, hello classmate, I'm Qi Qi from Class 4."
"I don't know you, how can you have my QQ number."
"Of course, it's because the old moon sees that we are destined, so we are dreaming
Tell me your QQ number, let me add yours. โ
A string of dots was sent from the opposite side, and then the avatar turned gray, Lu
Zero offline.
What, it's really incomprehensible.
I silently coiled in my heart
Considering how to chase such an incomprehensible boy, he is in the same class as Qi Xing, well, then there is no big gap between us, and I can also rush into the top fifty for that kid from Qi Xing!
Thinking of this, I felt like I had been beaten with chicken blood, and picked up my mobile phone to Qi
A message was sent.
"Wait for me, I'm going to rush to your class for the final exam."
Ignore the second reply on the other side, "What do you post on the big night."
"I lay down and rested.

It was about a few days later at noon, and I was bored
Chill out on the railing.
A pair of long legs caught my eye, and I looked up along the loose and soft sweatpants to carry a glass of orange steam
Shui's slender arms, and Qi Xing's faintly smiling face.
I took the soda with a smile and stood on tiptoe and patted Qi Xing
The top of the hair: "That's good." โ
Qi Xing bent the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Hey, okay, this Lu Ling is really your class?" I bit the straw and asked, "It doesn't make sense, he's so handsome and has good grades, how could I never pay attention to him before."
He. โ
"He is a dark horse, and he rushed directly from Class Nine in the midterm exam
Came in. In fact, there are still quite a few people waiting to see him fall back, but not only did he not make people see jokes, but he was still able to rise steadily in the first class. โ
Qi Xing took off his glasses and put them in his shirt pocket, gently pinched the mountain root, and said slowly, "It's not human." โ
"From more than 400 to the top 50ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท Tsk tsk. โ
It's not human, I sighed in my heart.
"So, you're still far from others." Qi Xing rubbed the top of my hair, "It's unlikely that the end of the semester will be possible, come on in the second year of high school." โ
I gently spit out the straw and looked at the reddish one in the distance
On the horizon, the soft breeze of drunken plums and willows quietly swept by, and the hair was swept up in a charming arc.
I turned my head and smiled at Qi Xing: "At least you have to work hard."
Hawkers! โ
Later that time I was really trying hard to pick up
I used to pay attention to grammar, and I tried my best to do my best in every grammar test.
Every morning and Qi Xing memorized ancient poems and words, and he was urged to brush the rolls at night.
But life is not an idol drama, and my monthly exam this time is still only back to the previous level, and I did not jump into the first class as I imagined.
ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
There is only one month left before the final exam, and I also began to wonder if the lofty ambition of "I will rush to your class for the final exam" promised to Qi Xing before can be realized.
On the day of the results, I pulled Qi Xing and howled for a long time, because of this
The kid took the top 20 this time.
"Ahhhh You're not back again
I secretly studied!! โ
Qi Xing pushed his glasses as usual: "This time."
Sub-ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"Ahhh!!h I covered my ears vigorously.
Qi Xing smiled helplessly and tore off my hands: "At least you went back to the second class this time." โ
"But I'm a second shift and one ah, whine!"
"That's the second class too!" Qi Xing patted my hair
Top, "Keep it up!" Aiming for the top 70 at the end of the term, huh? โ
"Okay then."
When I returned to class that afternoon, I had all the classmates from the second class
Standing in line at the door to welcome me, he sent me a banner to write
"Warmly welcome Qi Qi back to the second class".
The leader is called Song Qingyan, who is a little round
A girl with two small dimples when she laughs, which is particularly cute.
Because our grades are comparable, we have been in the second class all the year round, and we have always been at the same table, so gradually the relationship became iron.
"Welcome, welcome!" Song Qingyan pounced on me
Shouting and screaming: "Qiqi, you don't know how much I miss you in the month you are away!" โ
"Go," I squeezed her shoulder in disgust, "you know."
I'm afraid that if I'm gone, you'll be the next one to go."
"Hey, you're not cute at all, how can you
Tell people's hearts so directly. โ
I was amused by her and giggled and hit my classmates around me
After saying hello, I entered the class.
Sitting in the familiar seat in the last row, I sighed in my heart, "It's good to be home."
When I was about to put the book in the drawer, I suddenly found that the drawer was stuffed with snacks.
Song Qingyan's sharp eyes caught my surprise for a moment,
Curiously, he leaned over and took a look, and then squeaked excitedly: "Ah, Qi Qi, you are so uninteresting, you don't even tell us about falling in love!" โ
"Don't talk nonsense." I pulled out the lollipops sandwiched between them
The note was handed to Song Qingyan with a smile.
On the note was a line of vigorous pen letters.
"I'll be waiting for you next door. - Qi Xing"
Song Qingyan held her heart in her hands and looked at me with blinking eyes
said: "Qiqi, do you still lack a brother and daughter-in-law?" Then he took my two packets of chips and a bottle of milk.

The blackness of the distance gradually swallowed the sky, and the gray and white buildings
Noticeably gloomy, dark clouds roared and swirled in the air, as if a larger storm was brewing.
The silent school building was also woken up by the sound of a bell.
"Yanyan, do you have an umbrella?"
"Well, no." Song Qingyan chewed potato chips and replied vaguely.
I was stunned: "Well, what should I do?" โ
Song Qingyan slowly finished eating the last potato chip, full
Rubbing his lips: "I'll go to Xiaohe and them to borrow a handful, wait for me!" โ
There was a soft knock on the door behind Lu Dongdong.
"Gone." Qi Xing's familiar eyebrows and eyes came into view, bones
The distinct fingers are slightly bent, elegantly holding the umbrella, I don't know if it is the reason for the rain, with a light layer of white, adding a bit of beauty.
I happily put on my bag and sighed by the way
"It's good to have a younger brother", but Yu Guang swept to the familiar white shirt passing behind Qi Xing.
So I immediately pulled Song Qingyan and pushed it in front of Qi Xing: "I lack a brother-in-law!" Let's go back together! โ
After finishing speaking, he immediately rushed to Lu Ling's umbrella.
I lifted the dripping hair from my forehead behind my ears and headed towards the land
Zero smiled what he thought was very charming: "Classmate, I didn't bring an umbrella, can you give me a ride?" โ
Lu Ling seemed to be a little puzzled, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked at Qi Xing
said: "This is not your sister?" โ
At that moment, I seemed to hear my own petrified voice,
From the inside out.
Song Qingyan couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud. Qi Xing held back a smile until his face flushed, and his hand holding the umbrella was also slightly there
Shiver.
Oh, the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, I just think of him
They are noisy.
"Hmmยทยทยทยทยทยทยท" I blinked desperately at Qi Xing.
Qi Xing smiled and pointed to Song Qingyan beside him: "This is the same."
I didn't bring an umbrella with me, so I want to send her back to the dormitory, so I'll trouble you to give my sister a ride. โ
My chick pecked at the rice and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, deliver."
Just downstairs! โ
Lu Ling responded as if he didn't understand. So I went with Lu
Zero held an umbrella together, and the silence along the way was terrifying, the key was that Lu Ling really just sent me downstairs and left by himself.
I stood alone at the door of the guard's room, stomping and stomping
The water on the ground, the drops of water falling under the eaves made a series of water marks in the air, and fell into the puddles, stirring up layers of ripples, and then disappeared without a trace.
In the distance is the figure of Qi Xing holding an umbrella gradually becoming clear.
ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
"You sent Yanyan back?" I lifted the slippery one
Backpack straps, "That girl is afraid that she wants to be happy all night, and she said today that she wants to be my brother-in-law." โ
"Where's Lu Ling?" Qi Xing moved the umbrella half to me,
"Why are you standing here alone?"
"Don't mention it." I hid under Qi Xing's umbrella and hammered his arm indignantly, "Why do you two know each other?" โ
Qi Xing was angry and funny, "We are classmates
Yes? Shouldn't we know? โ
"I mean, I thought you wouldn't know each other,
You obviously don't look down on a boy like him, how can you two play together? โ
I puffed out my cheeks and said, "He even knows I'm your sister." โ
"Because we both look exactly the same." Qi Xing cried
He poked my cheek with a laugh.
I knew I was wrong, and twisted my head to the other side: "Humph! โ
When I came home at night, I lay in bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep
Land, since Lu Ling knows that I am Qi Xing's sister, then Qi Xing should also tell him my name, right? Then he should know that I was the girl who added him some time ago, right? I remember introducing myself and saying my name.
I rubbed someone's umbrella today, do you want to say thank you?
After struggling for a long time, I scratched my hair and touched my phone to Lu
Zero sent a message: "Thank you today. โ
The other side quickly replied with a message: "You're welcome." โ
Looks like he knows it's me, but what to do next?
Question? We are again in a mysterious silence.
The first to break the silence was Lu Ling: "Qi Xing said that you are very."
Want to join a class? โ
Qi Xing, why does this kid say everything?! I hurriedly replied
Sentence: "Ah no, no, I think it's good to be at the bottom of the second class, hahaha." โ
"I think you can."
"Come on."
Ahhh!!h Or two in a row
Sentence!!! I can!!!
I excitedly typed the keyboard: "Okay! โ
