In the early autumn of that year, Wu Fan stepped into this not-so-famous junior high school as a teenager.

It was a colorful, gorgeous season.

The cool autumn wind blows the willow branches by the river on campus, and also lifts the green silk of the female students. The golden sunshine reflects the dazzling light of the entire middle school. Wu Fan smiled, showed a mouthful of white teeth, greeted the sun, and walked into the thirteenth class of junior high school on the third floor with a group of young boys and girls who had never known all their lives.

When walking into the classroom, because of the crowding of people behind, Wu Fan accidentally bumped into a girl in front.

The girl with the long ponytail turned her head, revealing a delicate face. Wu Fan smiled slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry." The girl smiled slightly, "It's okay." ”

The head teacher of Class 13 is surnamed Zhao, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, who looks relatively old, with a lot of gray hair, like a dying old man. But the upward spirit he showed showed showed that he was in the prime of life.

Seeing that the class was full of more than forty students, Zhao Ji smiled, picked up the roster from the podium, and said, "Now let's start the roll call." ”

"Ye Qixue." Zhao Ji said, his eyes raised, and then he shot in the class.

"Here." A girl in a lilac coat stood up slightly, answered softly, and then sat down gently.

Wu Fan raised his head and saw that it was the girl he bumped into just now. "Ye Qixue?" I silently recited it in my heart, and then silently disappeared.

"Li Lin."

"Here."

……

"Lin Yi." About halfway through, Wu Fan heard such a name, and then the boy in front of him with oblique bangs stood up. He casually answered, and sat down again.

"Su Can."

"Here!" Wu Fan's tablemate hurriedly stood up and responded loudly. Wu Fan raised his head and smiled at him, and Su Can also smiled.

"Suya."

"Here." A soft female voice sounded, and Wu Fan followed the prestige to the left front.

It was a girl wearing a light blue coat, who happened to be Ye Qixue's tablemate, her appearance was not as stunning as her tablemate, but she always had a faint smile on her face, she looked very friendly and gave people an inexplicable good impression.

Su Can stabbed Wu Fan, "That's my sister." ”

Wu Fan smiled and nodded.

By this time, more than thirty people had been named. Su Can was a little puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Where are you?" ”

"Wait, I don't know." Wu Fan spread his hands.

After reporting the names of a few more people, Zhao Ji read Wu Fan's name. Then, Zhao Ji closed the roster and began to say some clichés that had been repeated many times.

"See, that's our school flower in elementary school, beautiful and with good grades." Su Can is obviously very familiar with all kinds of "customs" in the class, and is actively popularizing them to Wu Fan.

Wu Fan saw that he was really pointing at Ye Qixue, he just smiled and nodded.

"Huh, you're not interesting?" Su Can rarely saw someone who didn't have a "cold" like Ye Qixue, and he was very surprised.

Wu Fan shook his head and was noncommittal. Because he had sworn to himself that he would never like anyone again—because of that helpless scar, he never dared to think about it.

The familiar smiling face vaguely appeared in front of him. Wu Fan's heart tightened, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.

The bright sunlight shining in the windows illuminates the classroom. Wu Fan narrowed his eyes and stared at the sun, thinking that this was the beginning of his ordinary junior high school. But he would not have thought that this was the prelude to his unforgettable youth.

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

The first class of junior high school passed uneventfully. Wu Fan left the classroom and crouched down in the hallway, breathing in the fresh air while surveying the new campus.

"So you're in Class 13?" A familiar voice came. Wu Fan turned his head, and sure enough, he saw the girl with short ear-length hair.

"What class are you on?" Wu Fan smiled.

"Class nine." The woman stroked the strands of hair that fell between her sideburns, and gently brushed her hand behind her ear, revealing her rather beautiful face completely.

The two have known each other for a long time, and they tell each other some interesting things from the past. At this moment, Su Can happened to walk out of the classroom and saw Wu Fan talking to a strange girl.

"She's not from our class, is she?" Su Can asked a little stupidly.

"Hmm." Wu Fan nodded, "Yang Rou from Class 9, my elementary school classmate." Then he looked at Yang Rou again, "My new table mate, Su Can." ”

"Haha, hello." Su Can hurriedly stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to shake hands. But Yang Rou just nodded, without the slightest intention of reaching out. Su Can felt a little abrupt at this time, retracted his hand, laughed awkwardly a few times, turned around and walked back to the classroom.

After another moment, the conversation between the two ended. Yang Rou said goodbye and turned to go downstairs. Wu Fan also turned around and walked back.

Just as they were about to enter the door, Su Ya and Ye Qixue walked out side by side. Wu Fan looked at the narrow door frame, smiled at the two of them, and took the initiative to move sideways, leaving no traces.

Later, Wu Fan often remembered the Buddhist saying: Looking back five hundred times in the past life is exchanged for one pass in this life. But he was never sure who he had looked back at.

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

After the first monthly exam, Wu Fan and Su Can went to see the honor roll together.

The first place in the highest place is impressively written "Ye Qixue". The second is Yang Rou, and the third is Lin Yi. Some of the people below are people they don't know, and when they got to the thirtieth place, Wu Fan saw his name. And Su Can looked at it for a long time before he found his position in the second hundred and fifty place.

"I can't see you're so good." Su Can punched Wu Fan.

Wu Fan smiled and punched him back. His eyes were still on the three words "Ye Qixue", and he had some admiration in his heart. Seeing this, Su Can put his arms around Wu Fan's shoulders, and shook his head pretending to be old, "It's really talented and beautiful." There was a bit of banter in his words, as if he was ridiculing Wu Fan's previous coldness.

"yes." Wu Fan responded very cooperatively.

At this time, there was a commotion ahead, and it turned out to be Ye Qixue walking out through the crowd, with a happy smile on her face.

Su Can ran out, learned from the appearance of an ancient scholar, and made a gesture, "Congratulations." Obviously, the two also knew each other in elementary school, Ye Qixue nodded lightly, smiled and said thank you.

After a while, Lin Yi also came over to look at the list. Su Can winked at Wu Fan gently, Wu Fan understood, and the two walked out together, hugged their fists as a salute, and said in unison: "Congratulations to Brother Lin on exploring flowers in high school." ”

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and even returned the salute with his fists: "What a way, it's just joy." If you want to go to the store for a drink, can the two brothers go together? ”

Wu Fan and Su Can couldn't hold back their laughter, "Respectfully!" ”

The three of them went to the store together, and Lin Yi did the east and bought drinks.

On the way back, Su Can proposed, "Why don't we bow down." After that, without waiting for the two of them to agree, they ran to the big cedar tree on the side of the road, and looked around carefully, "I think this place is good." ”

Wu Fan smiled dumbly and walked over with Lin Yi.

The three of them stood side by side, bowed to the tree, and said aloud:

"I, Wu Fan, I Lin Yi, and I Su Can, voluntarily became Jinlan brothers, not seeking to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but for the same day of the same year, the same month and the same ......day." If you violate this oath, the sky will thunder. ”

After speaking, the three of them high-fived each other and smiled at each other.

In the following half a year, time seemed to have lost its magic, passing at a constant speed, gentle and undisturbed, which was very similar to the bland high school that Wu Fan imagined.

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

It wasn't until the last day of the first semester that the turnaround began. The ordinary life that Wu Fan envisioned has also undergone major changes as a result.

The weather was not so good that day. It was already the depths of winter, the sky was overcast, the sun was not visible, the day was a bleak and weak hue, and the temperature was very low.

Wu Fan rummaged through the belly of the table for a book that he had lost for a few weeks, and it was only after a long time that he found it in Su Can's chaotic belly. After despising Su Can for a while, he put it in his bag.

Due to the long delay in finding books, it was not early, and the campus was empty. Wu Fan subconsciously quickened his pace, thinking about going home early. But as soon as I got out of the school gate, I saw a thin beige figure on the road ahead, marching with difficulty.

It seems to be a girl, carrying a large schoolbag that is disproportionate to her figure, and each hand is carrying a bulging bag, and you can see from the pace of her walking that these things are obviously not light.

After getting closer, Wu Fan realized that it was Ye Qixue. Seeing her difficult appearance, Wu Fan took the initiative to step forward, "Haven't you gone back yet?" ”

Beads of sweat oozed from the corners of Ye Qixue's forehead, a few strands of hair on her sideburns were wet, and they were tightly attached to her face, her face was red, and she gasped slightly. After hearing Wu Fan's question, she turned her head and smiled a little difficult, "Yes, you are also leaving so late?" ”

Wu Fan was moved with compassion in his heart and took the initiative to ask: "Do you want to help?" Drop by. ”

Ye Qixue hesitated for a moment, but in the end, it was obvious that she was defeated by the reality situation, "Thank you." She smiled a little shyly, her face flushed, and she couldn't tell whether it was because she was tired or embarrassed.

Wu Fan took the two heavy bags and walked side by side with Ye Qixue. But neither of them is good at words, there is no superfluous communication, they just say polite words without saltiness, and they have nothing to say.

In the class, Ye Qixue is also recognized as the most quiet and beautiful girl. Usually she sits in her seat very quietly, reads and writes seriously, rarely fights with other girls, at most laughs with her tablemates. But today Ye Qixue looked very happy, although she still didn't talk much, but she couldn't hide the smile on the corner of her mouth, probably because she was helped?

Wu Fan felt that Ye Qixue was indeed very beautiful at this time, especially when she smiled, the smile blooming at the corner of her mouth was unusually bright, as if she could pierce the haze in the sky and usher in thousands of sunshine. He walked quietly beside Ye Qixue, but the two who were unfamiliar with him were like old friends with a very tacit understanding at the moment, Wu Fan suddenly felt that the silence at this moment was very beautiful.

There was a secret coolness in Wu Fan's hands.

He stopped, looked up, and saw scattered snowflakes in the not-so-pure sky, like a flock of butterflies flying among flowers, swinging irregularly in the sky.

Wu Fan came back to his senses, at this time, Ye Qixue had already walked forward for a while, he looked forward and was stunned.

At a glance, it seems to be eternal. Even many years later, when Wu Fan and Ye Qixue have been separated for many years, he will still remember this beautiful picture in the depths of his memory.

Ye Qixue in front also stopped, seemingly forgetting Wu Fan's existence. She raised her head, closed her eyes, and greeted the snowflakes dancing in the sky with her face reverently, as if flowers were longing for rain and sunshine. When a few snowflakes landed on her face, she was like a child, with a happy and cheerful smile on her face. The cold wind flowing in the winter lifted Ye Qixue's long hair and the broken hair in her ears, and her face was slightly red, adding a different kind of beauty to her.

Immediately, she opened her eyes, and the black pupils shone brightly and clearly. She stretched out her hand to catch a few snowflakes, and turned around happily like a child, only to find Wu Fan who was frozen behind.

Ye Qixue's face turned red after brushing it, and she turned around embarrassedly, but she still had a happy smile on her face.

This is the first time Wu Fan has seen Ye Qixue's cute childlike appearance, and it is also the only time.

The rest of the road was more silent, but perhaps because of the snow, the atmosphere between the two was obviously much better, and it seemed to have become more familiar.

Ye Qixue's home is not very far, and Wu Fan even feels that this distance is a little short.

When she arrived at the door of Ye Qixue's community, she took the initiative to stop, with a sweet smile on her face, she reached out and took the bag and put it on the ground, "Thank you so much, if I were alone, I really don't know what to do." ”

"It's okay, it's okay to stop by anyway, it's not in the way." Wu Fan also smiled, and after speaking, he was ready to leave.

"That's right, wait." Ye Qixue remembered something, she took out a few pieces of candy from her pocket and handed them to Wu Fan, "This one is quite delicious." ”

Wu Fan said goodbye and walked back. On the way, he looked at the candy in his hand, the transparent plastic paper wrapped in red and white hard candy, as if reflecting a comfortable halo. He peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth—it was like melting a puddle of spring water, very sweet and refreshing.

A thin layer of snow began to fall on the road, and when you stepped on it, you always had the illusion that the ground was soft. After walking dozens of steps, Wu Fan inadvertently turned around and saw Ye Qixue, who also happened to turn back.

She smiled, let go of the bag with one hand, and waved goodbye to Wu Fan.

Wu Fan suddenly felt very warm, the snowy winter didn't seem to be cold, and he couldn't tell whether it was the snow on his hands or the sugar in his mouth, which melted into a warm current and slowly surged into his heart.

He smiled and waved at her.

This is the first real acquaintance between the two, warm and beautiful.
