It has been said that the winds are the gentlest in March.

Gentle peach moon, peach blossoms quietly spread out on the branches and smiled, and the fragrance was lost.

"It's tomorrow, are you ready?" The head teacher called Du Ruo to the office again and reminded him of tomorrow's city essay competition.

"Ready? What to prepare? Du Ruo replied nonchalantly.

The head teacher rubbed his temples: "Prepare the material for writing!" All kinds of celebrity quotes, good words, good sentences! ”

"Teacher, you can't be regularized." Du Ruoyi retorted rhetorically, "If writing has become like this, it is better to hold a memory contest." It's good to write an essay that follows your heart. ”

"If you don't tell me these big truths, you should have forgotten about it, right?" The head teacher gave Du Ruo a blank look, causing the latter to cough a few times in embarrassment.

"Indeed, it's been too long, hehe. But I'm telling the truth, it's better to read more books than anything else. ”

"Tomorrow's game is very important, don't give me a chain! Each school can only have a maximum of 20 places, and with so many excellent writers in the school, it is not easy to give you this place. Teacher Chen spoke earnestly and hoped that Du Ruo could grow a little longer.

"Okay, got it, goodbye teacher, it's time for class!" Du Ruo nodded and heard the class bell.

"Alas, this kid." Teacher Chen watched Du Ruo leave quickly and shook his head.

……

The sun sinks, and the afterglow reflects half the sky.

The other vendors also drove their cars one after another, parked outside the school gate, and the aunt who bought the lean meatballs had already boiled the boiler, cleared the somewhat messy car desktop, and put the small iron spoon in the pot to moisten it, inserted it on the lean meat on the iron plate, turned on the mobile phone, and waited quietly for the students who were about to get out of school.

Outside the school gate, the old man who was over the age of sixteen pushed his cart, stopped on the side of the road, wrapped his army-green coat tightly, his steps were a little heavy, he moved a small bench, opened it, and sat down with some difficulty and care, and his trembling legs finally had something to rely on.

Soon, the bell rang for the end of school, the vendors put down their mobile phones, and the old man raised his head and looked expectantly at the batch of students pouring out of the school gate.

"Uncle, have a duck neck!" A student went straight to the glass cabinet of the old man's trolley and pointed to the pickled duck neck in the glass case.

"Okay." The old man stood up again with difficulty, took out a duck neck, picked up a knife, skillfully cut the duck neck into pieces, and put it into a bag.

The pickled food sold by the old man is a snack that many students love to eat, and the sour and spicy taste has conquered many people, including Du Ruo.

"Uncle, I want two bunches of enoki mushrooms." Du Ruo took Xiang Qingmin's hand and walked straight to the old man's glass cabinet.

"You're buying it again." Xiang Qingmin said with a smile that the boy she likes likes to buy some of the old man's enoki mushrooms every day.

"Well, it's delicious." Du Ruo smiled and took the enoki mushroom that the old man had packed.

On the road that turns right outside the school gate, occasionally three or two students in school uniforms will go home with their school bags on their backs and humming songs. The sunset is domineering, dyeing the fields on the side of the road red, dyeing half of the students' bodies, some people turn their faces to look at the end of the field, over the road built of mud and stones, there are a few clouds fluttering leisurely, picturesque, beautiful and moving, but unfortunately they did not bring their mobile phones, there is no way to record this exquisite sky.

Du Ruo picked up his mobile phone and took a picture at the sky.

Xiang Qingmin stood on tiptoe and peeked at the photos taken by Du Ruo.

"Why are there only clouds? Don't you shoot such a beautiful sunset? Xiang Qingmin held Du Ruo's arm and smiled sweetly. Some students who passed by glanced enviously, and hurriedly turned around and hurried home, because the school only gave forty minutes to go home for dinner, and then they had to study late.

"Because I like clouds." Du Ruo kept the one he thought was the best-looking, and the clouds were like bright red koi against the backdrop of the sunset, smart but silent.

Xiang Qingmin's rented place is in the depths of this road, and half of this road is a junction, and the small road leads the main road outside the school gate, leading to the distance.

They meet at this intersection every day, go to school together, and separate at this intersection when they come home from school.

"I'll wait for you here after dinner." Du Ruo waved his hand and watched Xiang Qingmin go home.

"Okay!" Xiang Qingmin smiled happily and turned to go home.

……

The evening self-study at Shulin School lasted until nine o'clock in the evening, and it was already past nightfall.

"Twinkle and twinkle, Du Ruo is my little star." Xiang Qingmin took Du Ruo's hand and stepped on this path decorated with only a few street lamps, humming a small song softly in his mouth.

"Stars." Du Ruo smiled, thought of something, stopped, raised his head, and looked at the sky on the right.

In the starry night, the moon was squeezed into a corner, grunting with a bright moonlight, but the stars did not care, jumping in the night sky, appearing and disappearing.

"Look." Du Ruo turned to the pitch-black field, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the night sky directly in front of him.

"There are three stars over there, and every time I look at them, I always feel like there's a line between them."

Xiang Qingmin followed Du Ruo's hand, but his gaze was lost in the depths of the night sky.

"Where? I can't find it. Xiang Qingmin grabbed Du Ruo's arm aggrievedly.

Du Ruo leaned down, hugged Xiang Qingmin's shoulder from behind, put his right cheek on her slightly hot left cheek, and stretched out his right hand, pointing to the familiar night sky.

"See? There. Du Ruo smiled, looked at Xiang Qingmin's side face, looked at her starry eyes, looking for the three stars that belonged to Du Ruo.

"Hmmm! Got it! It looks like there's a real connection! Xiang Qingmin showed a happy gaze, turned his face, kissed the tip of Du Ruo's nose, and turned his head shyly, looking at the three stars excitedly.

If the sunset was still there, Xiang Qingmin's flushed cheeks should be more obvious, and it didn't matter if it was covered by the night, because Du Ruo already had that picture in his heart.

"I discovered them when I was very young. At that time, I didn't know why, but I always liked to move a chair on the balcony on a rainy day, take out my favorite snacks, and listen to the sound of rain dripping in my ears while eating snacks, I felt that I was the happiest and most comfortable me at that time. Later, on a clear night, I moved out of the chair and went to the balcony. From that day on, every night, I like to take the lounge chair to the balcony, lie there, and look at the three stars in a line, sometimes they are gone, hidden by the night clouds, and I will be very unhappy. ”

"For years, I used to run to the balcony at night to see them, and I thought of them as my friends, and it was a secret, and I never told anyone about them, because I was afraid that if I told someone, they would no longer be my friends."

"Then why did you tell me?"

"Because I like you."

Because these mountains, rivers and rivers are not as good as you.
