Chapter 14: Step by Step

When the bell rang for the math exam, Xu Yan put down his pen and looked at the second question of the geometry question that he still hadn't done in the end, a little sad.

She and Li Ruoyu were assigned to the same examination room, and Li Ruoyu walked out of the examination room before her, leaning on the railing of the corridor. A student from the next class came to him for an answer, and he smiled mysteriously and did not answer.

After a while, Lin Yan and Cheng Rui from an examination room also came over. Xu Yan picked up the admission ticket and stationery bag and went to meet everyone.

Cheng Rui and Li Ruoyu muttered, and then Cheng Rui showed a look of frustration on his face.

Lin Yan shook his head and said, "I don't dare to answer Brother Ruoyu anyway." Hey, how are you? ”

Xu Yan pursed his lips, turned his stiff neck, and said, "I think chemistry is okay, but mathematics, I think it may still be a bit problematic." ”

Lin Yan took her arm and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's all over." Just wait for the results! We have no problem with the experimental class of the city, so don't worry too much. ”

Nodding, let's go to the multimedia conference room of the science and education building to listen to the city's enrollment publicity.

Xu Yan really wanted to find Jiang Shangbei and ask him how he felt.

Jiang Shangbei is used to being casual, his head is smart, but he has never deliberately worked hard, and his grades are barely strong.

Before, Xu Yan was actually afraid that he would not be able to take the exam, but later Xu Yan encouraged him to learn, and the city was absolutely no problem, and he should be able to enter the experimental class reluctantly.

The science and education building was noisy, and the children who had just finished the liberation exam were in a difficult mood, and they were talking about how to play and how to play, some laughing heartily, and some were pale.

In the largest multimedia conference room in the school, the grade group posted the seating arrangement at the door, but the entrance was so narrow and crowded.

Xu Yan frowned, just glanced at it, guessing that the grade group should still be arranged from front to back in class order, and the eighth class should be at the back, so there is no need to rush to squeeze.

He was being pushed forward, and his hand was grabbed by the other hand, which was a little wet in his palm.

Then I heard a clear voice say, "The thirteenth to the fifteenth row are from your class." After a while, the owner of the voice came to her.

Jiang Shangbei apologized to the people around him with a smile and said, "Let's sit together." ”

Xu Yan was surprised, as if he broke away from his hand, and whispered: "What do you say, they are all arranged according to the class, and the old class is still there." ”

Jiang Shangbei just didn't hear it, dragged people to sit on the edge of the last row of the area, comforted Xu Yan and said, "Our head teacher usually doesn't come to this kind of assembly. Even if your homeroom teacher doesn't find you, it's just that you're sitting on the wrong side. ”

"Lin Yan has left me a place!"

"I let Yang Ruihan sit over."

Xu Yan turned his head and looked at Jiang Shangbei's fingers, and saw Yang Ruihan sitting next to Lin Yan with a stinky face, and saw the two in front of him, grinning his teeth.

Lin Yan knew what was going on since he saw Yang Ruihan, and he just glanced at Jiang Shang.

Xu Yan felt very embarrassed, and folded his hands and bowed to people. Jiang Shangbei smiled happily.

Tang Shili in the front row heard the movement, turned his head, and saw that the two of them were arguing for some trivial matter, mainly Xu Yan, who said like pouring beans, Jiang Shangbei occasionally interrupted her, deliberately picking on her thorns, and then Xu Yan glanced at him vigorously and continued to fiddle with his own set of rhetoric.

I smiled, I still think it's incredible that two people will get together, and I think these two are really funny.

The teacher of the admissions office on the stage has changed another one. Xu Yan's hand, which was still the size of Jiang Shang, retracted it, listened carefully to a few paragraphs, and seemed to ask inadvertently: "How do you feel after the exam?" ”

Jiang Shangbei grabbed Xu Yan's hand again, grinding her little thumb, thinking how could her nails be so cute, a small piece.

Xu Yan patted Jiang Shang's other hand and said, "Ask you!" ”

Jiang Shangbei leaned back in the chair and said, "I think it's okay." It's all pretty smooth. ”

Then he squeezed Xu Yan's hand and said, "If you don't believe me, you have to believe in Jiang Qianfan." It's not useless for him to come back. ”

Xu Yan looked at his understated expression and knew that this person should really be very sure.

In the end, the results came out, and everyone's scores were able to enter the experimental class smoothly and steadily, and Li Ruoyu was even "excellent" into the provincial weight. But Xu Yan's mathematics is indeed a defeated subject, Jiang Shangbei unexpectedly did very well in the test, Xu Yan felt very surprised, and he was more happy.

Spring flies by, and midsummer jumps and comes.

Xu Yan was bored at home, but because of the scorching sun outside, he hesitated to go out to play.

Lin Yan Qili and Tang Shili are almost in the pool all day long, Xu Yan is a landlubber, I have been there once, after choking a few mouthfuls of water, I will never go into the water again, sitting by the pool and looking at the girl in the pool, with fair skin and radiant spirits, it is still a good age.

Xu Yan felt that he might have really been taken by Jiang Shang, and would rather stay in the study every day and guard a computer than go out to play.

In the end, everyone made an appointment to go to the comic exhibition in the city together.

On the first day, Xu Yan finally had to go out and buy something with Jiang Shang to go to the Comic Con.

Xu Yan felt that he had never gone out so delicately, and laughed fiercely at himself in the mirror before leaving.

I remember that a day ago, she complained to Jiang Shangbei on the Internet: "It's so troublesome to go out and play." Even if it was to buy a cake, I would come down from the twelfth floor, cross the street to the opposite side, step on the sidewalk on the other side, walk two or three steps, and push open the glass door of the bakery......"

Jiang Shang didn't look at it and wanted to beat her: "You're enough......"

As a result, Xu Yan was instantly slapped in the face today.

"Come out and play!" Xu Yan sent a message very domineeringly.

"Hey, wait until I'll wash my hair first."

“…… You didn't wash it yesterday! ”

"No, no, no, I've been wearing headphones for days in a row, and my hairstyle is crushed and I need to tidy it up."

Lose your marbles.

Xu Yan typed hard: "Anyway, it's the same whether you wash it or not, forget it, how long do you have to wash it." ”

"About thirty or forty minutes." Jiang Shangbei replied, "Hey, I'll wait a minute, wait, didn't you say that you were too lazy to go out, you have to go down to the twelfth floor first and walk across the road to ......"

"Get out of here and wash!"

So the result was that Xu Yan withstood the temperature of 34 °C, and Jiang Shang's house basked downstairs for more than ten minutes, gritted his teeth, and climbed to the eighth floor.

When I got to the seventh floor, I felt like I was going to die, after all, living on the twelfth floor was always taking the elevator.

I wanted to squat on the eighth floor to rest for a while, but Jiang Shangbei suddenly opened the door and came out, looking at Xu Yan and smiling.

He must have been tired of climbing the stairs, a little dizzy, confused, and gave him a fierce look, and almost fell down the stairs.

was pulled, and a voice sounded behind him: "Hey, aren't you tired of climbing the eighth floor?" ”

“…… Shut up. ”

The original plan was to go shopping together, but if it was to go out with Lin Yan, it would be a very troublesome thing to go shopping.

Fortunately, one of the two is used to being casual, and one more is better than less, and Xu Yan finally lost to laziness.

Too lazy to choose, too lazy to bargain, and finally aimlessly walking along the hydrophilic platform.

Xu Yan put his backpack on his head, trying to block out the sun.

There was not a single cloud in the sky, and the sun seized every opportunity and invaded the northern hemisphere with impunity.

Walking along the waterfront platform, there is a flower garden under the cultural wall on the right, a carved fence of white marble on the left, and a sparkling Qingshui River.

Jiang Shang pinched his bangs, and suddenly said, "You teach me to recognize plants." ”

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, nodded, looked at the flower garden, and pointed to him as he walked: "This is fire thorn, this is camellia ......"

Walking to the small pier, she climbed the stairs, took off her shoes and carried them in her hands, and stepped on the steps in the shallow water. The cool water wrapped around her feet, gradually patted her ankles, and then fell again, repeating this, the tide ebbed and flowed, Jiang Shangbei didn't know when he stood next to her, and learned her to carry her shoes in his hands.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Wait for someone."

"Have you waited until then?"

Xu Yan did not answer. She looked up and saw the triangular plum on the balcony of an unknown house, swaying gently in the wind, lovely tight.

She took out a hand, reached for the person behind her, and waved.

And then it was held.

Xu Yan stared at the river to the west and said, "I fantasized about sinking into the Qingshui River before and wanting to become a whitebait. It was during that time that I was so sad. Not sure why. ”

Jiang Shangbei knew that an uncle who was very concerned about Xu Yan three years ago was seriously ill and died.

"It stands to reason why a twelve-year-old can be so sad. My dad thinks it's strange, no matter how good he is to me, he is not a relative. ”

"It shows that you are a good boy, you know gratitude." Jiang Shangbei said softly.

"Lin Yan sometimes says that I am delicate and unspeakable. I think I'm still pretty good. ”

No, you're so good, sad because your heart is hot.

Jiang Shang don't think about it.

Jiang Shangbei said: "If you want to become a silverfish, you have to inform me in advance." ”

"What did you do?" Xu Yan is really not used to Jiang Shangbei suddenly being as pseudo-literary as her.

"I'm trying to turn into rain," Jiang Shang said, "so that it can fall into the river and become ripples." ”

Xu Yan was about to say a few words to him, but when he looked up, he saw his bright eyes and lost his mind. His eyes were like rain, soaked by the kind of rain that had just fallen.

Xu Yan hated rain very much, but he couldn't hate it, and even Xu Yan thought that he was going to like it.

Xu Yan stepped on the water and said softly: "My second cousin told me that there are some, and there are some feelings that can only be regarded as embellishments in the journey of life, friendship, love, all of them. ”

"We've all met a lot, and we've had a lot of separations because of that. When we graduate from L, we will disperse a group of people, go to the city, and meet new people. ”

"I would love those unpredictable encounters and the gifts they brought me. But I still can't seem to accept the pain of parting. ”

Jiang Shangbei listened quietly.

He doesn't make much sense. I don't know what clumsy words to use to comfort such a delicate heart.

He could only try his best to hold her hand for the time being, saying, "It's only a teenager, take your time." We don't know what will happen after that. I know you're a planner, and I'm probably more comfortable taking it one step at a time. Everyone did their best. People live for the sake of happiness. ”

After speaking, he also felt a little weak, and remembered that Jiang Qianfan was lying on the sofa that night, and suddenly asked him: "You said that I don't seem to have to work hard to get what I want." It's pretty boring, too. Isn't it true that people live for pleasure? I should be happy. ”

Seventeen-year-old boy, Jiang Shangbei thinks, he shouldn't know whether he is happy or not, and he doesn't know.

Jiang Qianfan finally hooked his shoulder and said: "Our family has always been, believe in one, and be down-to-earth!" Hahaha, if you want you to catch up with your brother, I shouldn't be able to. What you want, it's better to work your own! ”

This kind of unbeatable genius's under-beaten tone, Jiang Shangbei felt that this was Jiang Qianfan's normal state.

Then, take one step at a time, everyone, take your time.
