Chapter XVIII Two years

The cicadas are chirping, the midsummer is coming, the hot and dry weather is unbearable, the streets are almost devoid of pedestrians, and occasionally a few sweaty people keep fanning their short sleeves, sometimes lifting them to wipe the sweat from their faces.

In September, it is time for a group of teenagers and girls with dreams to enter a new world.

When they returned to school, the new recruits had already started military training in the hot summer, but fortunately, the instructor was not so ruthless, and led the team to find a shady place on campus. But even so, there were many immature faces that turned pale and fell under the scorching sun, and the teachers took potions for the students who couldn't hold on one by one with Huoxiang Zhengqi in their hands.

"Boss, I finally understand how lucky we were at that time." The little fat man said inarticulate with a popsicle in his mouth, his eyes just shining through the summer sun and falling on his sweaty face.

"Hmm." Du Ruo didn't raise his head, and continued to write his homework, and there were so many homework in the summer vacation that he didn't finish it.

When the little fat man spent money to buy the reserved place, he specially spent a little more money to exempt him and Du Ruo's military training, and the little fat man is now proud of his wise decision at that time.

"Have you done your language homework?" Du Ruo suddenly raised his head and asked.

The little fat man jumped up and ran back to the classroom, and a moment later ran back with a homework book.

"Hehe, boss, as the successor of communism in the new era, I want to learn from our excellent domestic intangible cultural heritage......" The little fat man finished biting the popsicle and smiled.

Du Ruo covered his face with Xueba at the same table.

……

At night, on the way out of school.

"Twinkle and twinkle, Du Ruo is my little star~" Xiang Qingmin hummed a song and walked forward in small steps.

"By the way, Du Ruo, I will decide to choose a course tomorrow, do you really want to choose physics?"

Du Ruo thought about it and nodded.

"yes, I love physics." Du Ruo smiled and hypnotized himself.

"Then I'll choose too! I'm going to be in the same class with you! Xiang Qingmin made up his mind, because in the second year of high school, the class allocation was based on the students' course selection, and students who chose the same subject would be placed in the same class.

"You? Can you do it? I remember you didn't even ...... physics in your freshman year of high school," Du Ruo said with a wicked smile.

Xiang Qingmin lightly hammered Du Ruo's shoulder: "you, I'm the little prince of physics!" ”

"It's a man!" Du Ruo gave a thumbs up.

……

"It's been a year." Du Ruo rubbed the little fat man's hand to eat the chicken, and the little fat man walked around aggrievedly, swallowing saliva.

"Yes, boss, it's been a year, so can you give me a chicken leg to eat......" The little fat man couldn't help it, and wanted to pounce on the chicken leg to grab it, but was slapped back by Du Ruo.

"Go, it's not good to lose weight, and you still eat hand-grilled chicken, how did you promise Ying Yuhuan? If I don't run, I'll just report it! Du Ruo took a bite of the chicken leg with a happy expression.

"Hmm...... Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, silky in the mouth, ** and salt and pepper are just right, delicious. ”

"Don't talk about it, boss! I'm going to run! The little fat man covered his ears, stepped on the treadmill, and pressed 2nd gear.

"What about you walking?" Du Ruo stepped forward and pressed 7th gear.

"Boss, I've had a good year! I've lost 18 pounds! The little fat man complained.

"Well, but you still have 170, and you still have to minus it. Ying Yuhuan's request to you should be 140, right? Du Ruo finished eating the chicken legs and licked his fingers, and the little fat man covered his eyes in despair.

"My flesh...... That's all the meat I've worked so hard for seventeen years......" The little fat man complained bitterly, but for his happiness, his footsteps did not stop.

……

"Hey, boss, we're all in Class 6!" The little fat man smiled, and as soon as he entered the classroom, he found the two people he wanted to see the most.

Before Du Ruo could speak, the little fat man turned around and ran to the front row.

"Huanhuan!"

"The man is not in the middle." Du Ruo smiled and shook his head, but he didn't expect Ying Yuhuan to be here.

"Are you still staying?" Xiang Qingmin smiled maliciously, and Du Ruo quickly shook his head.

Soon, the classroom of Class 6 was filled with familiar or unfamiliar faces, Du Ruo observed that there were only three students in Class 14 here.

The new head teacher, also surnamed Chen and named Qianxin, is a very young female teacher.

……

"Boss, the head teacher is pretty good-looking, but it's actually our physics teacher." In the evening self-study, the little fat man rushed to Du Ruo's side as soon as he got out of class.

"Well, but the Chinese teacher and the English teacher look quite fierce." Du Ruo deliberately didn't open which pot to mention, the little fat man's smile disappeared, and he returned to his seat with a bitter face to make up for his summer vacation homework.

Xiang Qingmin quietly took Du Ruo's hand, and then quietly let go.

"Your birthday is coming." Xiang Qingmin said quietly.

"yes." Du Ruo smiled and nodded, faintly expecting it in his heart.

……

"Du Ruo, let me ask you a question." Du Ruo's top student found Du Ruo at the same table and asked, "If you want to buy shoes, which pair do you want to buy?" ”

"James, what's wrong?" Du Ruo asked strangely.

"It's okay, it's okay."

……

"Guess what I bought you for your birthday!" Xiang Qingmin took Du Ruo's hand and walked towards the express delivery point.

"Shoes." Du Ruo smiled.

"Huh? How do you know! ”

……

In the basketball game, Du Ruo never scored a single goal.

"How? Pretty good, right? After the game, Du Ruo touched Xiang Qingmin's head and said.

"Hmm!" Xiang Qingmin chuckled proudly, took Du Ruo's hand, and walked towards the cafeteria.

……

The political teacher is a thirty-year-old female teacher, but she is cute.

"Du Ruo, after I have been teaching for so many years, nine out of ten couples who fell in love in high school broke up after graduation."

Du Ruo opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

"However, I see that you and Xiang Qingmin are one of those ten pairs! You have to come on, I'm optimistic about you! The political teacher said with a smile, and Du Ruo also smirked and laughed out loud.

……

"The Literary Club set off collectively this time, and we must win this advertisement!" Fang Qingying raised her hand.

"Good!" Everyone was in high spirits.

……

"Xiang Qingmin, why did you two come back so late? We have a rule on leave from school this time, and you are like this, the literary society is said by the school! ”

"I'm sorry, I ate something......" Xiang Qingmin apologized.

……

"Du Ruo, let me tell you the news." Xiang Qingmin looked at Du Ruo apologetically.

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"I had a quarrel with the president...... Then she kicked the two of us out of the literary club...... Mr. Chen is no longer an instructor this year, so ......"

Du Ruo smiled and touched Xiang Qingmin's head: "It's okay, anyway, we're almost going to quit when we reach the third year of high school, but it's just a little earlier." And if you're gone, I won't stay. ”

……

"Son, your grandfather and grandmother both have cancer, and now the treatment costs a lot, and our family is a little difficult now, you must study hard!" Du Ruo's mother called Du Ruo to complain about her suffering, "Your father is sad to death now......

Du Ruo agreed, and finally hung up the phone, lay on the bed, and looked at the ceiling.

"Or ...... Let's break up, I don't seem to be really interested in studying. At night, at a familiar intersection, Du Ruo said those two words before Xiang Qingmin turned to leave.

"Why? I won't delay you from studying......" Xiang Qingmin was taken aback, they had also split up and merged a few times before, but it was the first time Du Ruo said that they had broken up so seriously.

"I'm sorry......" Du Ruo shook his head, lowered his head, couldn't bear to see Xiang Qingmin's nervous appearance, turned around and left.

……

"Huh? How did my friends become so few? When Du Ruo wanted to ask a classmate for something in the bubble tea shop, he found that he no longer had a contact list.

Xiang Qingmin covered his face on the side, lying on the sofa on his side, chuckling lightly.

"Stupid, you have to check my phone every time we go out, don't you believe me?" Du Ruo pulled her up and hugged her in his arms.

"I ...... It's not that I don't believe you, I just don't believe in myself......"

"You know, I think being with you is really in love." Du Ruo stared at Xiang Qingmin's eyes and said.

"Why?"

"Because every time we see you, we always laugh, we can't help it, and I'm really happy in my heart."

"It's not because you're stupid that you smile like a fool every time you see me!"

"Hehe, are you stupid too?"

"You just found out!"

……

"Du Ruo, why did you add the girl in your class back?"

"Huh? Oh, borrow something. ”

"What can't you borrow from me? Why look for her, because she is beautiful? ”

"What, what do you want, who is as beautiful as you."

"Let's break up."

……

"Du Ruo, look! I folded it for you with my own hands! A lucky star full of paper bags! Also, my third love letter to you is also inside! ”

"Hehe, thank you for your hard work!"

"Where's your love letter! Okay, we're going to write love letters to each other every month! It's almost the end of the month! ”

"In the bag! It has been written a long time ago. ”

"Hee-hee, bring it."

……

"Du Ruo, your birthday is coming soon!" Xiang Qingmin put his arm around Du Ruo and said with a smile.

"yes, it's been almost two years since I've been here." Du Ruo looked at the three stars, no different from two years ago.

"What's been the luckiest thing you've done in the past two years?" Xiang Qingmin looked at Du Ruo expectantly, and Du Ruo kissed her knowingly.

"I'm still with you, of course."

"Of course! We said we wanted to have a basketball team! ”

"Hehe, are you serious? That won't torture you to death. Du Ruo touched his nose.

"You're afraid you're going to get tired!"

"Ahem......"

……

"Close your eyes! Don't look! Take me by the hand and come with me! Xiang Qingmin slowly brought Du Ruo, who was obedient and closed his eyes, into the classroom, and the lights in the school after the evening self-study class were starry, and the classroom of Class 6 had been turned off and it was pitch black.

"Alright! Open your eyes! ”

Du Ruo opened his eyes, several tables were put together, on the table was a cake, the candlelight was flickering, and the figure was dancing excitedly on the wall. The little fat man stood up from under the table with a few classmates with whom Du Ruo was close and sang happy birthday songs for him.

"Happy birthday to you!" Xiang Qingmin took Du Ruo's hand and sang together.

"You ......" Du Ruo smiled, not saying anything, but his expression was already full of emotion.

"Make a wish!" Xiang Qingmin said softly.

Du Ruo closed his eyes and smiled.

Make a wish...... If my wish can come true, then I hope that in the future and in the future, I will still be by my side.

"Du Ruo, na, this is a birthday present for you!" Xiang Qingmin handed over a stack of postcards.

"This is ......," Du Ruo looked at them one by one.

The first one is Xiang Qingmin's postcard.

"Happy birthday to my family Du Ruo. There's so much more to say to you, and so many places to go with you. Please take care of me for the rest of my life. ”

Du Ruo smiled and put the greeting card in his pocket.

"Happy Birthday! I want to be with Xiang Qingmin all the time! ”

"Happy birthday, I've known you for more than four years, after all, it's your junior high school classmate! With girlfriend 99 Oh! ”

"Happy Birthday! 99! ”

"Happy Birthday! Two people have to be good! ”

Nose, sour...... Du Ruo rubbed his nose lightly and smiled sweetly.

……

"I've been with her for a year and a half......" Du Ruo's diary has also been replaced with a second one, which is the diary that Xiang Qingmin gave him.

"I don't know if she and I are the couple in the mouth of the political teacher. But ......"

"I don't know how many people are envious of our love now."

"If it really comes to the day when you have to separate, how reluctant will you be?"
