On June 22, 2010, I officially graduated from Fengling on the 14th day.

When I rinsed my mouth, I always felt as if I had grown up overnight, looking left and right, and I felt that I was no different from before.

Nothing has changed except for the life of the school and the increasingly lush vegetation outside the window.

Zhang Huaixu was waiting at the door of the small apartment very early. Today we made an appointment, we are going to the library to check the scores, and we want to fill in the volunteer work.

Since the last time I saw his phone address book, I rarely texted him, and no matter how many texts he sent me, I just replied with a few words.

Fools can hear my extremely perfunctory attitude, so he doesn't text me anymore these days.

After recalling, he spit out the mouthwash that had been in his mouth for a long time, and then looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly felt that he was a hateful person.

A person who knows each other's intentions and doesn't believe that the two of them will have a future, but pretends to be simple and ignorant, doesn't take the initiative and doesn't refuse, isn't he hateful?

I see a little more of the world than my peers, pretending to be stupid is my protective color in this world. Friends are precious to me, so even if I call me selfish, I just want to keep the time we can have and talk as long as possible.

Eight o'clock, go out on time.

Zhang Huaixu half-leaned against the wall and played with his mobile phone.

I don't know if it's because of puberty, he seems to have grown a little taller, and there are a few small acne on his cheeks, wearing a white shirt and tight light-colored jeans, which makes him look more slender.

What surprised me even more was that he actually replaced the heavy black-rimmed glasses with a gold retro half-rimmed glasses, which looked less old-fashioned.

"What are you doing in a daze? Let's go. Zhang Huaixu saw me come out, put the phone back in his trouser pocket, put his hands in his pockets and went downstairs by himself.

I followed him, not far away, and even when I was on the bus, I sat behind him, and he didn't seem to show any displeasure.

When the climax of "Those Flowers" was approaching, someone suddenly ripped off the earphone in my right ear and put it on his own ear.

"Hey," Zhang Huaixu turned around, leaned back on the back of the seat with his hands crossed, and glanced at me with a casual look, "Did I say anything I shouldn't have said last time?" ”

Last time? Is he talking about the KTV?

"Nope."

"Then why are you ignoring me?" The tone in which he said this, coupled with his slightly distorted eyebrows, seemed as if he had been greatly wronged.

I just thought it was funny. This harmonious atmosphere and easy-going expression made me forget the events of that day, and even felt that it was a dream of my own, which was simply fabricated by my cranky thoughts.

"I didn't ignore you."

"Oh."

"By the way, haven't you already been escorted? Are you still volunteering with us to join in the fun?"

"Idle is idle. I've researched this year's admission scores and should help. ”

Zhang Huaixu stretched, turned around, closed his eyes, and seemed sleepy.

Because the cable was still attached to his ear, I was pulled by him. He didn't seem to have the slightest intention of returning the headphones to me, so I had to move a seat next to me so that the two headphone cables wouldn't get tangled up in a mess.

His eyelashes were beautiful, long and dense, and now they were under my nose, and with a blink of an eye, I seemed to feel the faint whirlwind of wind, like a child's hand, and it scratched my heart softly and fiercely, and made me feel an indescribable feeling.

The library is not too far from where I live, and the bus takes about 20 minutes to get there.

The city's library is bigger than I expected, clean, elegant and comfortable. Every floor was polished, every bookcase was made of oily mahogany, and though all the tables were occupied, it was as quiet as no one's land.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, here, here........." Hao Jianren covered his face with a book, and waved to us in a low voice. At the same time, beside him, there was also the squad leader Gu Cheng.

As soon as we sat down, he started babbling and complaining.

"You two are good to come leisurely, do you know how hard it is to grab a seat here? There was a large queue of people at the door of the library before it opened, and as soon as it opened, it was like a madman squeezing in, ouch, like buying vegetables in the market, and my fat body seemed to be squeezed out by them..........."

"Ignore him and get down to business." Zhang Huaixu turned his head to me and said to me.

I glanced at Gu Cheng and asked her, "Gu Cheng, why are you here too?" ”

"Oh, me, I'm here to borrow books."

"I'll go, isn't it, what books are you going to read when the college entrance examination is over."

As Hao Jianren spoke, he started to look through the stack of books on Gu Cheng's table. I glanced at Gu Cheng's face worriedly, Gu Cheng just looked at him with a smile and was not angry.

""Compendium of Materia Medica", "Agricultural Sacred Classics", and "Qi Min Yaoshu"? Do you want to go to Agriculture and Forestry University? It shouldn't be difficult to get into Tsinghua University with your grades. Hao Jianren muttered as he flipped it.

"Nope." Gu Cheng smiled, "I didn't plan to go to college. ”

"What!"

Not only Hao Jianren, but Zhang Huaixu and I were also shocked by her, but we didn't shout.

Gu Cheng seemed to see a group of weirdos and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this.......... ”

"Hey, Grandma. It's all ranked on the school year's list, except for those who are escorted, you are at the top of the list this time! If I want to have this result, I will definitely ........." Hao Jianren has been incoherent by Red.

"Gu Cheng, are you in trouble?" Zhang Huaixu looked at her with a serious face.

"Well, it's not a big deal. That is, my dad is sick and urgently needs a sum of money to treat him, and at this juncture, nothing is more important than my dad's health. Besides, if you don't take the university exam, then you don't take the exam, maybe I can still become the second Yuan Longping if I farm the fields? ”

At this time, I recalled what Gu Cheng's mother had said to me.

In our small town, my biggest wish is to be admitted to a good university and continue to study.........

Burying his wish with his own hands, Gu Cheng's heart must be uncomfortable. I feel sorry for her.

"Gu Cheng, if it's because of the funds, I can tell the old man of my family that you can be his sponsored student..........."

Gu Cheng politely refused.

"Zhang Huaixu, thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept your money. I have already determined my future path, maybe God will have another purpose in arranging this, studying in the temple is learning, doing farm work in the field is also learning, maybe life is testing me? ”

She smiled so much that she silenced everyone.

"Don't look like that, it's really my own choice. Especially you, Tan Lige, smile a lot, girls don't smile too much, they won't be able to get married. Gu Cheng came up to me and pinched my face.

This girl of the same age has tanned skin, and her face is scratched by plants such as thatch, and even her hands are rough.

"Gu Cheng, thank you."

I have said a lot of thanks and sorry to others, and most of them are habits that I have developed because I don't know what to answer. Although my communication with Gu Cheng is far inferior to that of Zhang Huaixu and An Yuqiu, this thank you is from the heart.

"Okay, you guys talk slowly, I'll go back first."

Gu Cheng beckoned to us, greeted the morning sun, and walked farther and farther, until her small figure completely blended into the light and shadow, and we withdrew our gaze.

"This girl is too stubborn." Hao Jianren shook his head helplessly.

"No, not just for the family. Probably because she found what she really wanted to do. "I watched her walk away, and I didn't feel sorry for a genius to be buried, but I admired her very much.

Gu Cheng's matter came to an end.

Zhang Huaixu found all the admission scores of all colleges and universities in the past five years from the library and made a systematic analysis.

"Tan Lige, with your results this time, you can rush to the finance department of Tsinghua University, as for these colleges, you can use them as a guarantee, according to my calculations, your score should be at least able to enter Tsinghua's language major.........."

He is now like an assessment machine for estimating risk, and he is still the kind with a very high accuracy rate, and he is the first to analyze.

I was listening carefully to his analysis, but for some reason, my eyes shifted from the book to his side face.

The curvature of the chiseled face, the slightly messy short bangs, and even the pair of vintage glasses that sit on the bridge of the nose have a sparkling feeling in the sun.

It's like he's a light in his own right.........

"Tan Lige? Are you listening to me?"

By the time I came back to my senses, Zhang Huaixu's slightly furrowed eyebrows were about to touch my forehead, and from this angle, his face was indescribably distorted and funny.

"What do you think?" He seemed to be upset with my inattentiveness.

"I'm sorry."

He sighed, "Forget it, I'll make a list for you later, and it's no problem to fill it in as I say." ”

After that, Zhang Huaixu went to help Hao Jianren do a risk assessment, but his attitude seemed much more casual, when Hao Jianren asked "What should I do if I can't pass the exam?", Zhang Huaixu would tell him very seriously,

"Just let your dad throw at the money."

Although social fairness is always emphasized now, but after all, absolute equality is not emphasized, some unfair factors are inevitable, people are born with better living conditions than those of us, and it is quite enviable to have such a shortcut.

Reincarnation is also a kind of strength.
