The summer vacation that exists in Ye Qixue's memory is particularly long.

One day at the end of August, Ye Qixue and Su Can came to the cemetery again. As the school year approaches, although their grief for the deceased has faded a lot, they have never forgotten it.

Su Can bought a few cans of beer, and Ye Qixue bought five or six bunches of white marigolds.

Su Can said vaguely while drinking beer: "I don't know where this kid Wu Fan went, and I couldn't find him anywhere...... Hey, what are you buying so many flowers for? ”

Ye Qixue's face showed unspeakable pity, she picked up the remaining three bouquets of flowers, and said to Su Can, "Follow me." ”

Su Can heard the solemn and solemn taste, and followed without saying a word.

It's late summer, and the weather is slightly cooler. The cemetery was originally built on a small hill and seemed very quiet. Towering trees stand tall in the sky, lush grass is neatly trimmed, and the mountains full of tombstones look vibrant.

The two of them walked one after the other to the depths of the cemetery, until they reached a small depression in which three small tombstones stood up. Su Can couldn't help asking, "This is?" ”

Ye Qixue's voice was a little choked: "Wu Fan's father...... Mom...... And also...... Grandmother. ”

"What?" Su Can roared out.

Ye Qixue bent down, arranged the bouquet, and said softly: "Don't blame him, on the day Su Ya had an accident, his grandmother ......"

Su Can knelt down and burst into tears.

After a long while, Su Can asked, "Then do you know where he went?" ”

Ye Qixue lowered her head, "I don't know, but he doesn't seem to have gone to school anymore and went out to work." ”

"This idiot!" Su Can slammed his fist to the ground.

Ye Qixue was silent, remembering the scene when they said goodbye that day.

------------------------------------------------------------

It was the beginning of July, not long after the results of the high school entrance examination came down, and everyone was planning to fill in the volunteers. According to Wu Fan's grades, he can enter the experimental class of the county No. 1 middle school, and Ye Qixue's high score made the city give a place exceptionally.

That evening, the two wandered the streets. Since Su Ya's accident, this is the first time that the two have been so close. Wu Fan was unusual, took the initiative to hold Ye Qixue's hand, and was unwilling to let go for a long time.

"I don't want to go to the city, it's too far, I want to stay in County No. 1 Middle School." Ye Qixue said softly.

"Nope." Wu Fan stopped and looked at her very seriously, "The conditions in the city are better, you should go there, not to mention, I'm not in the county." ”

"What? Where are you going? Ye Qixue was in a hurry.

"I went to school out of town." Wu Fan swept away the gloom of the recent days, and actually smiled happily, "My parents have been working in Guangzhou, and they have recently agreed with a school, and it will be over tomorrow." ”

"But......" Ye Qixue wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it. knew that it was a lie, but she couldn't bear to expose the boy's last stubbornness.

"Come on, you can't forget us." Ye Qixue smiled happily at him and clenched his hand.

"Hmm."

The street lights on the street are slowly lit up, and in the evening of the summer vacation, the streets of the small county town are particularly lively and warm. The two held hands and slowly enjoyed this last warmth.

"Hey, you say, shouldn't we lie to Su Ya?" Ye Qixue and Wu Fan were very close.

"No, I don't. At least, in the last days of her life, she was happy. Wu Fan said a little sadly.

"But she's so careful, maybe she'll find out a long time ago."

"But she hasn't said it, which means that she also approves of it."

"Hmm." Ye Qixue pondered for a while, and finally nodded.

The hands of the two were already sweating, but she didn't care at all, still clutching hard.

"Let me ask you," Ye Qixue turned her head, her bright eyes flashed brightly, and she asked very seriously, "Did you really like her in the end?" ”

Wu Fan looked at Ye Qixue's serious appearance, he was a little uncomfortable, he knew that he couldn't lie, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and then a heavy sadness, he nodded.

Ye Qixue was silent for a while, and then asked, "Then do you still like me?" ”

"Hmm." Wu Fan nodded vigorously.

Ye Qixue smiled, grabbed Wu Fan's hand, and waved it vigorously, like a child.

The two walked around the street for several hours, until late at night, there were no pedestrians on the road, their feet hurt, their voices were hoarse, and they were ready to go home. But both felt like their hearts had never been so close.

When she was about to go home, Ye Qixue said, "I'll see you off at the station tomorrow morning." ”

"No need, it's very early, you'll get more sleep." Wu Fan resigned.

Ye Qixue glared at Wu Fan angrily, "Say it again!" Then he took Wu Fan's hand and said with a bit of resentment: "If you do this again, I won't like you anymore." ”

When Wu Fan heard this, his heart tightened, and he felt as if there was something in his heart that he couldn't suppress, and he was about to rush out in the next moment. He hurriedly said, "...... tomorrow morning at eight o'clock," and then turned around and fled.

On the way he ran, he still cried uncontrollably, this time, for himself.

He couldn't see it, and behind him, Ye Qixue was also squatting on the ground, crying silently.

---------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Ye Qixue got up very early, and then deliberately took the time to dress up, combed her hair carefully, painted her eyebrows, applied foundation, used a lip brush, and then picked out a pale green skirt and wore a new pair of sandals.

After packing herself, she took a bag and took a taxi to the station, arriving at less than six o'clock.

She was afraid that Wu Fan would run away in advance.

Fortunately, Wu Fan kept his promise and rushed to the station at half past seven.

Wu Fan looked at Ye Qixue, who had come early, and couldn't help it. In the early morning of late summer, the temperature was not high, and Ye Qixue was only wearing a thin skirt, trembling slightly.

"Really, why are you here so early? I don't know how to wear more clothes. Wu Fan said with some reproach, stepped forward, grabbed Ye Qixue's shoulder, and his nose was slightly sour.

Ye Qixue saw that Wu Fan had brought several suitcases, but no one came to see him off. She saw Wu Fan's somewhat embarrassed expression, and deliberately didn't ask this.

The two hugged at the entrance for a long time until the car was about to leave.

Ye Qixue handed over the bag in her hand and said, "For you, get in the car and take a look." ”

Wu Fan took it silently and didn't say anything.

After a while, with the sound of a huge whistle and a rumbling sound, a green train drove far into the platform. The train brought the wind in the distance, lifting Ye Qixue's skirt and hair.

Wu Fan's voice was a little hoarse, "I'...... You're leaving, take care. ”

Ye Qixue suddenly cried, hugged Wu Fan's waist with both hands, buried her head deep in Wu Fan's chest, and didn't let him go.

Wu Fan was ruthless and pulled Ye Qixue's hand away. But when he saw Ye Qixue crying, he couldn't help himself, grabbed Ye Qixue, and kissed her deeply: "Don't wait for me, you have to be good." After he finished speaking, he pushed Ye Qixue away and rushed to the platform.

He knows very well that he will cry the next moment, and then he will be soft-hearted, and he will never be able to walk again.

The train rumbled, Wu Fan saw through the window of the car, a pale green figure standing on the side of the road in the distance, the cool breeze in the early morning blowing her skirt and long hair, like a pale green flower, slowly blooming in the early morning of this summer.

Wu Fan looked at the green flower, the scenery outside the window roared by, and finally, he still cried.

I want to stay.

But I had nothing left.

----------------------------------------------

In the haze of tears, he remembered the bag that Ye Qixue had given.

He took it out and looked at it, there were some instant noodles and snacks on it, and a white box was placed underneath.

When he opened the box, there were three things inside.

A cell phone, a stack of money, a letter.

Wu Fan unfolded the letter and found that the handwriting on it had been blurred because it was wet with tears.

"Wu:

I've wanted to call you so affectionately for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be today.

Don't lie to me, I know everything. When I went to the cemetery a long time ago, I saw you silently coming out of that col. Later, I sneaked over and found your mom and dad, and the other day I saw your grandma.

What a fool you're alike. Why, why don't you say anything to us? Why do you want to suffer these pains in silence by yourself? Do you know how much I felt sorry for you when Su Ya's father begged you in the hospital that day, even though my heart hurt so much, I still had to smile to accompany others.

I really regretted it at that time, I regretted that I shouldn't have told you about Su Ya's illness in advance, and I regretted letting you accompany her first. I regret why I didn't let you make it clear to her directly and let her go to treatment first, but let you accompany her silently, and I regret it even more that I like you so much, but I still send you to others by myself.

I don't know where you're going, but you're never going to school. Don't you know, you liar? Your acting skills have always been so bad.

I'm in a mess right now and don't know what to say. There's a thousand dollars in the box, it's very little, you use it first. I have my number on my phone, so be sure to call me.

I can't go on, I don't know what to do.

I wish you could stay, and then we would go to school together, and laugh together and finally, live together, as before.

What to say that love lies in the process, not in the result.

I don't believe it, and I don't want to.

But why do we still have to separate?

If you want, come back, I'll wait for you.

I'll be here, all the time.

leaf

The night of July 15"

Wu Fan held the letter paper and cried silently again.

He clumped the paper into a clump and clung it to his chest.

The train was still rumbling, and it was moving off into the distance.

--------------------------------------------------

"I don't want you to be alone, floating and sinking alone in the sea of people......" Ye Qixue's mobile phone rang, interrupting her musings.

She turned on her phone eagerly, and then she frowned slightly, it was not Wu Fan.

For more than a month, Wu Fan has not called her, and he has not even replied to messages.

Ye Qixue answered Gauguin's phone call and said to Su Can, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Let's go, Gauguin and Ning Rou asked us to go to dinner, and we will serve the food immediately." ”

Su Can wiped his tears, stood up, and bowed deeply to the tombstone before turning around and walking away.

Ye Qixue said as she walked out: "I went to high school in the city, and I rarely have time to come back. They'll be left to you, so come and see them if you don't have anything to do. ”

Su Can nodded fiercely.

A mountain wind blew, the forest whistled, and the trees shook. Su Can raised his head and listened to the gentle sound of the leaves on both sides, a coolness slowly rose, and a faint flowing cloud swept across the sky, pouring into his heart.

Summer is finally coming to an end.

It's just, too early, too early.

But it still has to end.
