A Thousand Thousand Knots: Volume 8 A Thousand Thousand Knots: Chapter 50: See Jasmine Again
July. The sun is scorching, and the stones are flowing gold.
The countdown to the college entrance examination is finally over, and candidates start preparing exam supplies and looking at the exam room in advance. The examination room is determined by lottery between the principals of each school. Lingyun Middle School's liberal arts classes and science cram classes were assigned to other schools. Xiao Duxue and Yao Mengya were lucky, in the same examination room, in the front and back seats, envious of everyone. Ye Hanchuan and the two of them were in the same examination room in different examination rooms, while Fang Yumo was assigned to other examination rooms and had not seen anyone for three days.
A bell rings, and the exam is over. Thousands of students walked out of the examination room with a thousand emotions to share their joy or frustration, and then they were urged by the scorching sun to run in different directions. After a month, the grades and volunteers will divert them: to go to college, to tutor, to drop out of school, to work part-time, or to start their own business...... No one knows what fate they will face, no one knows what choices they will have. Seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys, their thoughts are wild, their actions are unscrupulous, and their choices are seldom well thought out. With enthusiasm and courage, they render their dreams colorful and brilliant, but they don't know that the reality is actually a stick sketch, without color, and it is so cold that people go crazy.
Xiao Duxue silently counted the scores, waiting for the people who came later.
Yao Mengya squeezed out of the crowd, and she was wailing from afar: "English composition, my death hole!" I feel like I'm half in the ground! ”
"It's that serious. Maybe there's a surprise to come! ”
"Surprise? Am I so lucky? Mostly frightened. ”
"You've got the quality, it's not too bad. Besides, the wood is already in the boat, and it is useless to think too much. When Hanchuan comes out, let's go back. ”
"I'm out. How did you do on the exam? Ye Hanchuan put the stationery box into Xiao Duxue's backpack and carried the bag on his shoulder.
"Make do." Xiao Duxue glanced at Yao Mengya and said, "Don't talk about the exam anymore, I have a big head." I want to be a jobless vagrant and live a life as a thug. ”
"I can't ask for it! Say, how do you want to mix? ”
"Go pick up the snow peak first, and then ...... Hey, hey, you know. ”
At the door of the police station, the faces that come and go are full of warmth and sorrow, joy and sorrow. Xiao Duxue had just explained her intention to the police, but Fu Xuefeng ran out from behind the sign and hugged her.
"Hey, let her go! How can you say that you are a man, this is a blatant tofu eating. Ye Hanchuan was anxious, "I haven't hugged her like this yet." ”
Xiao Duxue said angrily: "Xue Feng doesn't have so many bad intentions. She shortened her waist, quickly freed herself from Fu Xuefeng's arms, said goodbye to the policeman on duty, and walked towards the school. What are your arrangements for today? I'm going back to school and bring back the books that I haven't delivered, maybe they'll be useful in the future. ”
"Needless to say, of course I'm following you." Ye Hanchuan looked at the sun, "There is no car to go back at this time, only tomorrow." ”
"Then I won't go back, I'll accompany you." Yao Mengya held Xiao Duxue's arm, "Anyway, there's nothing to do when you go home now, just wait for the notice." ”
"Just waiting for your words! So let's go shopping? I've been studying here for two years, and I've never gone shopping, and at most I'm going to eat jajanjangmyeon. If there's nothing to do today, let's just go shopping and eat and play, how about it? ”
"It's rare that you're in the mood to do it! When you are tired of eating and drinking, you go back to school to rest. I have enough spirits, and tomorrow morning, I will go my separate ways. Ye Hanchuan was still talking about his arrangements, and the two girls had already run away hand in hand.
Today's streets seem to be livelier than usual. Many of the people who wandered around were students. Xiao Duxue saw Yao Mengya and Ye Hanchuan greeting people from time to time, and suddenly understood that many of those unfamiliar faces were liberal arts students of the same level, and even more, there were classmates.
"You don't know this either?" Yao Mengya pointed to the girl who had just passed and said, "She teamed up with us to participate in the debate tournament of Tianying Middle School, and you also reminded her to pay attention to Jun Wushuang's partner. ”
"It's not that I don't know. I look familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it, and whose name it is. ”
"I still don't know that! Later, I heard that she liked Jun Wushuang and chased after her. But it seems that Jun Wushuang has no feelings for her, and refuses directly. ”
"This girl is short-sighted? Where is a boy like Jun Wushuang good? There is no sense of security at all. ”
"Green vegetables and turnips, each with his own love. It is said that there was a girl who waited at the intersection of his home every day in order to let Jun Wushuang take a closer look. As a result, the guy said coldly to others, you are in the way, please let me go. ”
"Hey, I'm pretty proud."
"He was originally a sweetheart, and the girls chasing him were about to line up from their school to the riverside, and this was only their own school. If you count the foreign colonel, it is estimated that you will have to circle this Lingyun Town several times. ”
"Thankfully, fortunately...... Fortunately, he is not in Lingyun Middle School, otherwise I don't know how much trouble would have happened. Xiao Duxue thought of Yao Mubai, and her eyes dimmed. Is Mr. Chu at school today? ”
"It should be there. Are you looking for him? Something? ”
Xiao Duxue mysteriously waved her index finger: "Secret! ”
Ye Hanchuan suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, "Hey, Fang Yumo!" ”
Yao Mengya was about to go to see the candy blower, and quickly turned around when she heard the words: "Where is it?" ”
Ye Hanchuan laughed: "Ah, I'm dazzled." ”
Yao Mengya said angrily: "Is it fun to tease me?" ”
Xiao Duxue couldn't help but smile and said, "They all say that they don't see each other for a day, like every three autumns." You haven't seen each other in a few days, so it must have been a century apart, right? ”
Yao Mengya blushed and made a gesture to pinch her mouth.
Xiao Duxue said aggrievedly: "It's him who looks at the dazzle, I'm just telling the truth." Fang Yumo, why are you still shrinking like a turtle? Climb fast! This young lady has become a river of thoughts, and others are about to be flooded. ”
"I don't believe it. It must have been you two who took advantage of my absence to bully her. Fang Yumo's voice fell behind Yao Mengya, just like his person, Sven, steady. He carried a big bag full of Yao Mengya's favorite snacks and fruits, "Since you can't mess with them, then hide." Let's flash. These are for you. ”
"We're going to eat and we'll buy it. You two hurry up, don't provoke me here, a lonely man. Xiao Duxue pushed Yao Mengya to Fang Yumo's side, "Take care of her." See you by the river after six o'clock. ”
After the two left, Ye Hanchuan sighed: "I really envy this kid!" You can justifiably accompany the person you like. ”
Xiao Duxue asked slowly, "Where are your stars?" Didn't pick any of them? ”
"It's not the stars, it's the moon." Ye Hanchuan corrected solemnly, "It's the moon that belongs to me alone." ”
Xiao Duxue smiled faintly: "The moon doesn't belong to anyone. She is high up and belongs only to herself. ”
Ye Hanchuan didn't bother to reply, pointed to a stall and asked, "There is a rock sugar gourd, do you want to eat it?" ”
Xiao Duxue grinned with a painful expression: "Don't mention the sugar gourd!" Yesterday, when Mengya was eating, she bit out a white and chubby bug. Uh, I want to drink soda. ”
"Then you wait here, I'll go to the store on the street to buy it, their taste is the most authentic."
"Don't, it's too sunny! Let's buy a bottle of water and find a place to cool off. ”
"If you want to drink, you have to buy it, I run faster, I can't bask in the sun. You go and wait for me at the corner of the street, where there are trees, shade. Ye Hanchuan put down his bag and hurriedly ran away.
Xiao Duxue and Fu Xuefeng avoided the crowd and picked a place with few people.
A man and a woman come side by side. The boy whispered in the girl's ear, making the girl cover her mouth and laugh. With a smile, she hooked the boy's arm and snuggled up to his shoulder.
Graduation season, love season. This is true.
Xu heard footsteps, and the boy turned his head, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile in his wavering eyes.
Jun Wushuang? It's really a casual chatter! Xiao Duxue's footsteps were a little faster: "Xuefeng, the tree in front of you is full of branches and leaves, just to enjoy the shade, let's rest there, okay?" The corners of her mouth curled into a shallow smile.
As he passed by, a faint aroma wafted into Jun Wushuang's nose. He caught the smile on the corner of Xiao Duxue's mouth, and suddenly remembered the way she looked at Ye Jasmine that day, sad, lonely, lonely, and so displaced. He felt cold and walked away from the girl without a trace.
Turning the corner, Xiao Duxue took out a packaged plain gift box from her backpack: "Xuefeng, if you send this to the boy just now, you will say that it is my graduation gift to him." ”
Fu Xuefeng stretched out a hand: "Give it to me." ”
"You want it too? Okay, I'll make you something more fun when you get home. ”
Fu Xuefeng nodded, and chased Jun Wushuang.
Xiao Duxue sat on the bare tree roots, and sighed softly: Brother, the jasmine flowers have come to an end! She closed her eyes and hid the tears behind her eyelids. The mottled but dazzlingly bright circles of light under the sifted leaves illuminate the deep lake of memory. Lovesickness is fruitless, and it is pouring in an instant. That's what people like me, right? She smiled bitterly: If there is no lovesickness, how can it be surging? Brother, how long will we have to wait before we can meet? Did you know that I almost perished? Do you know that I have nightmares and can't sleep? Do you know that I don't have the courage to hold on? Whether it's a loved one or an acquaintance, I watched them pass away, but I didn't have the skills to return to heaven. I can't save them, I can't save anyone, I can't even save myself! The old sorrows have not been appeased, and new ones have reappeared. What do I have to do to get out of my nightmare? What do I have to do to forgive myself for my powerlessness? What can be done so that life is not so fleeting?
Once the pent-up grief is released, it is like a tornado that makes people unable to resist, and the strength in front of people is shattered at this moment. Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes, dripping in the bright sunlight, and quickly dried to dust.
"Twilight Snow ......," Fu Xuefeng called softly.
Xiao Duxue wiped away her tears and smiled: "So fast? ”
Fu Xuefeng brushed away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Crying? ”
"No, sleepy." Xiao Duxue patted the ash on her ass and said, "This guy Hanchuan is dying slowly, I'm going to get hairy." As soon as the words fell, Ye Hanchuan's running figure appeared around the corner. Can you slow down a little longer? Did you go to someone else to build a factory? ”
