No.Summer of Tangerine (2)

5

The midsummer sun shines through the dense layers of foliage, and the ground is covered with spots the size of copper coins.

The days of the final exams are always unusually long, especially the afternoon when the results are released.

I took a bottle of orange soda as usual, and walked to the front of the red list, the cold bottle wall touched the skin,

It seems to make people more calm.

"Qi Qi! Ahhhh

High! Song Qingyan rushed over from the crowd and swayed wildly on my shoulder.

"Who will accompany me to take the test when you leave!"

I was a little dazed and took a sip of steam as I touched the straw to my lips

water, then said: "What is gone?" Am I back in Class 4? โ€

"No," Song Qingyan gave me a firm look.

"You're in the first shift."

ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท

The crisp sound of glass shattering exploded in the ears, and the rest of the horizontal

The soda was unrestrained, spreading wantonly, blooming proudly on the ground.

"Let me, let me, thank you." I squeezed in people

The group, standing in front of the red list, started from the hundredth and looked forward one by one, until the fifty-first still did not have my name.

The heaving chest was full of joy, the heart rushed to the throat, the eyes were pounding, and every cell in the body was screaming excitedly.

โ€”โ€”43 Qi Qi in the first class of the second year of high school

"Ming! Words! I'm out of the !! "I was excited

rushed out of the crowd and jumped and jumped on Song Qingyan.

Song Qingyan laughed, her eyes narrowed into a slit, coquettishly

He patted me on the back: "yes, yes, it's fun to go to a class, remember to come back early." โ€

"Who's coming back!" I rubbed the corners of my eyes and smiled at Song

Qing Yan punched.

I walked out into the shade of a tree to escape the heat, took out my phone from my pocket, and thought

Tell everyone the good news, but after clicking on the contact list, only the gray cat avatar can squeeze into my field of vision.

What is Lu Ling doing now? Would he be happy to know that I was admitted to the first class? But his avatar is gray, and he's not online.

It doesn't matter! Anyway, he always has to know, it's better to know

I'll tell him!

"I took the 43rd place this time."

After a moment's hesitation, I added, "Awesome?" โ€

The other side didn't reply for a long time, yes, he's not online.

I stared at the orange cat for a long time, expecting it to suddenly turn color, and then replied to me, "That's amazing." But it didn't, and I slowly exited the dialog.

For some reason, I suddenly felt a little lost, and I was there

When chasing your dreams, you always push yourself into a spinning top and refuse to stop, but when this dream really comes true, you find that you have already turned dizzy, and you don't know where to take the next step.

I can't even tell what my original intention of being admitted to the first class is for, is it Lu Ling? Or myself.

I do not know.

"That's amazing." Qi Xing sprinkled the shadows from the leaves

He walked over and smiled at Yan Yan, "I thought you were joking, but I didn't expect you to be able to get a class at the end of the semester." โ€

"No, I probably really meant it." I

Scratching his hair, he raised his head to the sky and howled.

"What should I do?! How could I be admitted to the first class, I can't keep up with the progress at all! โ€

ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท

I had a hard time this summer, trying to catch up with the next class

's progress, so that I won't be kicked out of the first monthly exam at the beginning of school, I really tried my best to preview and review the class questions, but fortunately, with Qi Xing such a scholar teaching, it is not too difficult to chase the progress.

The most difficult thing for me should be self-discipline, after all, I really want to go shopping, eat, watch movies, and play games at home.

Thankfully, the efforts of the summer vacation were not in vain, open

I took 50 places in the monthly exam, and I sat firmly in the position of one shift and one shift.

In my words, it was God who opened my eyes and let me go shit luck, but Qi Xingfei said that it was his credit and was ruthless

Slaughtered me for a barbecue.

"Lu zero Lu zero, a new self-service barbecue next door, late

Do you want to go together? I'm in for a treat! "After entering the first class, I gradually got acquainted with Lu Ling.

Maybe it's because I can see each other every day in and out of class, but at least now it seems to me that he is no longer as unattainable as he was when I first met.

I don't know if it's my delusion, Lu Ling's face doesn't seem to be

It's so right, it seems to have a fleeting ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท Abhor?!

Anyway, he gave me a strange look, and then said, "No, no."

ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท

When I was at the barbecue stall in the evening, I remembered Lu Ling's eyes again, so I asked Qi Xingdao: "Hey, okay, is Lu Ling in a bad mood today?" I told him in the morning that I had a barbecue treat and asked him if he would come, and he seemed to glare at me? โ€

Qi Xing slowly and methodically laid out a row of meat on the barbecue

string, said: "In the future, don't put the words 'I'm in for a treat' in front of him." โ€

"Why?"

"This kid seems to have a lot of low self-esteem, his mother rolled a few years ago

His family's money ran away from others, and his father has been drinking heavily ever since, drinking until he had a stroke and went to the hospital, and is now completely vegetative.

His tuition and living expenses are all earned by himself, and he has to pay his father's medical bills every month, which is not easyยทยทยทยทยทยทยท That's right,"

Qi Xing flipped the meat skewers on the barbecue grill, sprinkled them with zizi and handed it to me, and continued. "He seems to be working at a barbecue restaurant now. It's no wonder that he will be upset when you say those things, and when he hears it, he is afraid that you are sarcastic about him. โ€

Qi Xing's words stunned me, even the barbecue in my mouth

I forgot to chew, I really didn't expect Lu Ling, a boy who looks so unclean, to live this kind of life.

At that moment, I even had the idea of saving him, I thought, such a clean boy, I can't let him sink into the mud.

"Why do you know this?"

"I didn't know it at first, but then I found out that as long as it was

When someone talked to him about the family's economic conditions and the like, he had a cold face, and gradually he heard about these things. โ€

Qi Xing wiped the foggy lenses and added a few more skewers of potato chips to the barbecue, "I feel like he's a little paranoid?" I don't really like him anyway. โ€

I was silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice, "It's going to be fine."

Come on. โ€

It's going to be fine, definitely.

ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท

"Lu Ling, Lu Ling, I brought potato chips, do you want to?

"Lu Ling, I brought you milk tea!"

"Lu Ling, tell me about this again!"

"Land ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท"

When I shouted the name for the hundredth and eighth time, Lu Zero

finally couldn't help but interrupt me: "Qi Qi, what's wrong with you lately?" โ€

"Aha, what can I haveยทยทยทยทยทยทยท" I glanced at Lu Ling weakly, those clear eyes seemed to have magical power, and people couldn't help but confide in the truth.

โ€œยทยทยทยทยทยทยท I like you," I whispered.

Lu Ling looked at me with some surprise, "Huh? โ€

โ€œemmmmยทยทยทยทยทยทยท I liked you at first sight. โ€

I smiled sweetly at him, "So can you allow me to chase you?" Lu Ling nodded blankly.

"Okay, then! No repentance! I smiled and went out.

God knows how nervous I was just now, and I clutched my chest, as if my heart was about to jump out of my chest in the next second.

It's really strange, I obviously didn't plan to say it, but when I thought of what Qi Xing said to me at the barbecue stall, the words "I like you" came out of my mouth inexplicably.

"This kid seems to have low self-esteem"

"He earns his tuition and living expensesยทยทยทยทยทยทยท It's not easy."

"It feels like he's a little paranoid"

ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท

Whew, exhaling deeply, I felt a lot more relaxed both physically and mentally.

In the future, let me take care of Lu Ling! Humming a cheerful song, I came to the door of the second class.

"Song Qingyan-" I shouted in a long voice, "Come out and play,"

"Qi Qi, what are you crazy about!" Accompanied by Song Qingyan's voice, a piece of chalk flew up.

Song Qingyan had a pair of dark circles under her eyes, she looked cute, like a panda, she scratched her hair, and pretended to be annoyed and said: "Do you know how uncomfortable I am when you leave!" Now I have one in every small test, and I am four or five points lower than the bottom two, and you will not see me in the second class after the next month! โ€

"I confessed to Lu Ling."

ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท

"When you said you were still there...... What the?! Song Qingyan's jaw was directly surprised to dislocate, and after a while, he pretended to be jealous.

"It's okay, Qi Qi, you just went to the first class for the male god, I understand, no love, goodbye."

I grinned and grabbed the drama spirit and poked the tip of her nose: "Okay, I still love you, why are there so many dramas." โ€

Although Song Qingyan pretended to be very jealous on the surface, he actually wanted me to be with the person I liked.

She quickly discussed with me a hundred tricks to chase the male god, although I denied all of them.

I told Qi Xing about this in the evening, and he didn't seem surprised, and said lightly, "Well", thinking that Lu Ling told him.

I remembered his previous sentence "I don't like him very much anyway".

I cautiously asked, "You're not against it, are you?" โ€

Qi Xing's voice was still the same cold, but this time there was a hint of a smile: "Why should I object, aren't you here just for him?" Although he is a little unlikable, but since you like it, go after it, I fully support it. โ€

"Hmm!" I smiled.

Grabbing the tail of summer, I finally made an appointment with Lu Ling to "meet".

I held up two fingers at my sister and said with a smile, "Two bottles of orange soda, on the rocks, thank you." "The clerk's sister and I knew each other well, and soon smiled and handed over two bottles of orange soda, the orange liquid became clearer against the glass bottles.

"Didn't your brother come with you today?"

"College bully, busy brushing up on questions." The clerk's sister saw Lu Ling sitting across from me and let out a meaningful "oh".

I laughed and nudged her: "Guest, go quickly!" Lu Ling gracefully picked up the straw, but did not drink the soda.

I saw him pick out the ice cubes floating above them piece by piece with a straw, wrap them in paper towels, and throw them into the trash without mercy.

I was stunned, I seemed to have forgotten to ask him if he wanted to add ice, no, I didn't seem to ask him what he wanted to drink.

I frustrated myself stirring the ice cubes in the bottle and muttered, "Butยทยทยทยทยทยทยท Obviously, orange soda with ice is super delicious. โ€

"What did you say?" Lu Ling asked with a smile.

"Nothing, you.. โ€ฆโ€ฆ Don't like ice? I asked cautiously.

"Hmm." Even though I knew that it was the answer, and although it wasn't a big deal, I still felt like I had been pricked by something, and the stinging feeling was very uncomfortable.

ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท

The air fell into an inexplicable silence, and it was Lu Ling who was the first to break the silence.

"Qi Qi."

"Huh?"

"Your name is very nice," Lu Ling said, "Qi Xing said that the names of the two of you are taken from 'perched magpies have no shade to shelter wet clothes, and pedestrians have umbrellas to avoid oblique silks.'" But what does it mean? โ€

"Huh? How did I not know that we were both so famous? I frowned in surprise, "Obviously taken from amphibians and reptiles." โ€

The corners of Lu Ling's eyes twitched, "Yesยทยทยทยทยทยทยท Is it? โ€

"yes, because my parents are biology teachers." I took a sip of soda slowly, "I don't know which horn of the three hundred Tang poems this kid Qi Xing found this poem from, but it's weird and good, and that's what I said when I introduced myself in the future." โ€

The atmosphere gradually eased and we were not as restrained as we had been.

I held my face and looked at Lu Ling: "You know what? The first time I saw you was here. โ€

"Here?"

"Yes, in this bubble tea shop, in this seat, you also wore a white shirt that day, which is very good-looking, easy to seeยทยทยทยทยทยทยท I liked it at first sight. โ€

Lu Ling looked at me stunned, there wasn't much emotion in his eyes, but I quickly caught a hint of nervousness.

The old electric fan overhead is still squeaking and spinning. But it still didn't bring much coolness, and the two people at the table looked at each other silently.

It doesn't take too many words, the love of youth is so simple, a bottle of orange soda, already filled with love.

ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท

These days, the relationship between me and Lu Ling has been gradually heating up, although Lu Ling has never personally said that he likes me, nor has he expressed our relationship exactly, but our relationship mode is no different from that of a couple.

It was also because of Lu Ling and Qi Xing, two top students, who helped me with the topic, that I stabilized my grades in the middle and upper reaches of the class.

Autumn is always short-lived, and the few trees outside the window, which I can't name, are finally willing to shake off the few golden leaves on their bodies, stretch their bare branches and dance wildly, silently swearing the coming of winter.

Before I knew it, I had been in the first class for a whole semester.

The third year of high school is already a heavy class of work, especially in the last semester.

So the date with Lu Ling on the weekend also turned into brushing up on the questions and reviewing in the "Encounter" bubble tea shop. A glass of orange soda, a set of test papers, and the teenager sitting across from me, all of this made me think of the words "the years are quiet".

Lu Ling and I agreed to go to Zhejiang University together, and whenever I felt that I was about to lose it, this agreement would always remind me, "You are not working hard for yourself, you are working hard for your future." โ€

I think Lu Ling used to be really the light in my life.

ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท

June is the season of separation, and everyone is crying on graduation day

howling and saying that he would come back for another three years, Song Qingyan, who claimed that he had not written the last major question of mathematics in the college entrance examination, even ran to me one by one, snot and tears: "I will definitely be a classmate in the next life." โ€

Our youth is finally frozen in that small picture

In a small graduation photo.

On the day the results were released, Qi Xing and I exchanged admission ticket numbers

Help each other check their scores.

I covered my phone screen and took several deep breaths before slowly moving my fingers.

"Qi Xing! Wow, you're steady!! "I'll take it

Jumping up and down excitedly with his phone.

"Hmm." Qi Xing smiled and flashed his phone to me

Look, "You, Zhejiang University is stable, Qingbei may be a little hanging." โ€

ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
