Below the wooden-bottomed calendar July were rows of red circles, and An Chenglin took out a pen from the pen holder at the bedside and drew a circle on the last day of July.

He sighed leisurely: "One year, it's over." ”

When his mentor told him that there were two exchange places in the college, he did not hesitate to wait for a plane to the United States amid his father's opposition.

The moment he left, he looked out of the cabin. The countless clouds that floated and shimmered with golden light passed by him, or he passed past them, and his troubled thoughts really cleared for a moment.

This year, he was on the run, he said to himself.

Yes, he's on the run.

However, no matter how much you escape, you can't escape the new border.

If the heart is not free, there is a cage everywhere.

An Chenglin stroked the few pieces of clothes on the hanger, put them away one by one, and put them in the suitcase.

This dark gray suitcase was bought by my mother when the family traveled when I was in middle school, and it also had his name embroidered by her, An Chenglin.

Today, things are still there. But the man is gone.

After sending his mentor in the U.S. a final farewell letter, he finally set out on his way home.

The time of the year is like water, quietly flowing away, neither long nor short. But it can change a lot of things.

For example, when I think of my mother, I just feel a faint pain, with a slight bitterness in my heart.

…………………………………………

Outside the airport, a person drank ice lemonade, dialed his mobile phone number, and after a few beeps, he said, "Cheng Lin, where are you now?" ”

An Chenglin frowned: "Qi Shui, you are really well-informed, I don't seem to have told anyone when I will come back." ”

Qi Shui's excited voice suddenly came from the mobile phone: "Of course, the name of "everything is known" is not for nothing, besides, there is news from Xiaoxia, what can I not know." ”

Through the screen, An Chenglin seemed to be able to see his proud face with raised eyebrows.

"Jin Xia?"

"Of course, who else but her would like you to be so cold, if you want me to say that you should have opened your mind a long time ago, don't bother Xiao Xia to work hard......" he said babblingly.

"Stop. Why haven't you changed this old problem, you don't get involved in my business. He paused, "I've made it clear to her." I'm out of the airport. ”

The man on the phone cried out after a brief silence, "I see you." ”

When he looked up, he saw his hand shaking with lemonade in the crowd, and he quickly walked through the crowd and gave a big hug to An Chenglin, who was stunned.

An Chenglin was really shocked, and it wasn't until he felt the coolness coming from his back that he pushed him: "Qi Shui, your lemonade leaked on my clothes." ”

Qi Xin was thinking about chatting with him, but he was shocked, and hurriedly flipped him over, and when he saw a pool of wet shadows behind his white shirt, he smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, it's okay, just wash it." ”

"It's not fine, it's my clothes that are wet." He spread his hands helplessly. "You said you were such a big person, why are you so reckless."

"It's not been a long time since I've seen you, so I'm so happy." He was rightly arrogant. But he was attentive to help him carry his suitcase.

An Chenglin smiled and hammered him in the back. Qi Xin knew that he was angry, so he asked him about his situation in the United States, and he answered his questions from time to time as he walked......

…………

In front of the library, a girl with long hair and shoulder-length laughed and didn't know what to say to her classmates next to her, the light blue denim skirt set off her skin as white as snow, he looked at her, as if there was a white figure in his mind.

He looked at her, trying to find the figure in her body, and before he could comprehend it, she was laughing and disappearing from his sight.

He was stunned for a moment.

Qi Xin, who approached, saw his distracted appearance, patted him on the shoulder, and quipped: "What's the matter, which department has you taken a fancy to?" ”

He heard the evil taste in his voice, just shook his head, and took a sip of the ice water he handed over.

The cold feeling melted into the heart and spleen with the water.

In the middle of summer like this, it is indescribably refreshing.

He asked casually, "What department is the library closest to?" ”

Qi Xin also took a sip, sighed refreshed, and replied, "Department of Foreign Chinese Languages and Literature." ”

An Chenglin glanced in the direction they left and smiled slightly.

"When it comes to majors, I'm angry, why did I choose materials chemistry with you in the first place, don't say that my grades are miserable, alas, this is like a monk's temple, a class is a girl."

He shook his head slightly, and added leisurely: "It's also a famous flower." ”

An Yi looked at him with half-squinted eyes, looking like a resentful little daughter-in-law, and couldn't say funny: "Then why didn't you choose a language major in the first place?"

"Isn't this a habit of being in the same class with you since I was a child, besides, isn't it convenient to take care of you, so I followed you in, who knew that he accidentally entered this monk temple and became half a monk." He said indignantly.

An Changlin was happy: "Stop, stop, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me." ”

"yes, doesn't it have anything to do with you, I'm willing."

"I don't know why I feel like a negative person."

"You also know that when you go to the United States, you don't just leave overnight like a negative man, if I hadn't found out and asked, then I really left without saying hello."

An Chenglin lowered his head slightly, touched his nose, and said, "At that time, I was really in a hurry to leave, sorry, I ignored you." ”

When Qi Shui heard this, he immediately grinned and hammered his hand: "Which of us is with whom, forgive you." ”

Then, as if he remembered something, "However, I don't want to be like this anymore, friends of more than 20 years, I always have a bad time if you have anything to do." ”

"By the way, today Ye Zhi has a treat and will give you the wind and dust. Let's hurry, there's still an hour. With that, he picked him up and walked quickly.

………………

An Chenglin, who had not been drunk for almost a year, didn't know how many glasses of wine he drank amid the cheers and coaxing of the people at the table, and he gradually lost his perception in the continuous drinking, and his stomach was burning hot.

But he felt a sense of relief in this dizziness and slight pain, and in the blur, the words of a philosopher who I don't know which philosopher had said flashed in his mind: "The pain in the body is light, but the pain in the soul is lighter." ”

While feeling that this sentence made sense, he finally fell asleep.

The people at the table were also in a similar state, or lying down, or lying, in various postures, and finally stayed in the hotel under the care of a few remaining sober people.

Colorful lights shine wantonly in the inky night, and cars come and go on the winding and intersecting roads, and crowds of people come and go.

Time passes, the cars and people on the road are gradually gone, and between the floating light and shadow, what will usher in is another dawn.
