Chapter 36: The Temperature of Parting

"Students, we are still 50 days away from the college entrance examination, the college entrance examination is the first battle in our lives, an important watershed in our lives, the college entrance examination, for our ordinary students, can be described as an important first step............

This is the speech of the watering can under the national flag today.

In midsummer, Zhang Huaixu represented Feng Ling and went to Tsinghua University's early admission exam as the first in liberal arts.

Although he was much more silent and in poor mental condition after his mother's death, I believe that he will return triumphantly.

Tan Yao disappeared for a long time, I looked out the window, and suddenly thought of him, recalling the gentle face he had never had before he left, and my heart was mixed. I don't know where he is, if he has enough money, if he is still gambling, or, or if he has run into something.

I opened the phone's address book, only to find that I didn't leave his number at all, and the phone number before calling him only prompted that the phone was turned off.

The classroom after class is also quiet, 50 days away from the college entrance examination, there is no messy figure in the corridor, and the whole campus seems to fall into a dead silence. There were a lot of people lying down on the table, and they were frowning even when they slept, only the squad leader Gu Cheng and Sun Chao were still silently brushing the questions.

The heights that great men have reached and maintained are not reached by flying as soon as they fly, but by climbing upwards step by step while their companions are asleep.........

Sun Chao suddenly threw away the pen in his hand, slapped the table and stood up, gasping for breath, and after a stumble, he rushed out quickly and ran out of the door.

"Sun Chao, what are you going to do? Sun Chao? Yes! Sun Chao! What are you going to do, come down quickly........"

The teacher's voice outside the door gradually changed from a gentle greeting to a scream and a snort.

Hearing such a shout, several curious boys couldn't help but go out to have a look. I saw the face of one of them, and when I saw the scenery outside the door, the "brush" turned pale.

Out of curiosity, I poked my head out the window.

There was a circle of people outside the window, and I saw Sun Chao standing on the narrow handrail of the balcony with a gloomy gaze. He has a pull tab at hand that can be supported, and ordinary people will definitely pull that pull out of fear, but he seems to have completely lost the will to survive.

Teacher Zhu Bin's teaching book next door fell to the ground, the teacup was broken, and the hot tea flowed to the ground.

"Classmate Sun Chao, come down, we have something to say, can you see it?" Zhu Bin barely smiled on his face and spoke to him in a consultative tone, slowly approaching him, trying to take his hand.

Sun Chao chuckled, squinted, and asked:

"Teacher, am I not good enough? Am I a failure?"

"No, you've always been excellent, you've always been ........"

"Then why wasn't I the one who was able to participate in the Tsinghua escort! Why not me! I ...... this time I finally won the first place in the grade, why was it still not me who could participate in the escort! You're not fair, you're so unfair!

Why is he also a good student, and he is also perverse, Zhang Huaixu has so many people who like him, I will be sneered at by you! I, I don't want the college entrance examination, in case, if I don't do well, my life will be over, it's over,......... I don't want the college entrance examination, I don't want ......."

Sun Chao's eyes were blank, he shook his head mechanically, his steps moved back, and the whole person fell out as if he had lost his center of gravity.

"Ahh Sun Chao! ”

In the end, it was Hao Jianren who suddenly rushed over with an arrow, grabbed Sun Chao's collar quickly, pulled him up like a chicken, and threw him on the ground. At that time, he had passed out, foaming at the mouth and lying on the ground, the teacher took him to the hospital, after that, Sun Chao never came to school again, until Sun Chao's parents came to the school to clean up his things with tears in their eyes, and we knew that he was going to take a break from school for another year.

This incident weighed on the hearts of everyone present and infected everyone's emotions.

After the college entrance examination, we have thousands of lives, and none of them is an absolute failure, it's just that the person concerned has chosen a different life.

Lang Jialuo said: The meaning of life lies in beauty, in the power of yearning for goals. Every moment of the journey should be made of a noble purpose. The life of the great man of the Soviet Union Gorky shows us that we too can make our lives revered; When we say goodbye to life, we leave our footprints on the sands of time.

It would be foolish to give up your life for the sake of an exam.

This was just an episode before my college entrance examination, but it made me remember it for a long time, so that later, I almost forgot the name of the person who jumped off the building, the situation at that time, but the suffocating feeling of hanging by a thread was as clear as yesterday.

Zhang Huaixu, as expected, was escorted to Tsinghua University, and the college entrance examination was lost to him, a top student. The next day, he began to pack his belongings and prepare to move out of the small apartment, saying that he was going home and staying with his dad for a while.

"Do you have to leave tomorrow?" I asked him.

"Well, since I don't have to take the college entrance examination, I also want to go to the company as soon as possible to learn business management." He said to me as he packed his things.

After Zhang Huaixu's mother died, the estrangement between him and his father seemed to disappear all at once.

"Before, I was too willful, but now my mother is gone, but I haven't fulfilled my obligations as a child, and I don't want this tragedy to happen to my dad again. I understand that thousands of grievances in the past are better than being open to one now. Tan Lige, I'm leaving. ”

He passed me with a suitcase.

I had a terrible premonition that I would never see him again.

"Zhang Huaixu!"

"Huh? What's wrong? He turned around, tilted his head, and smiled lightly.

"Nothing......... Bon voyage. I tucked the corner of my shirt and said.

He suddenly threw down the box and ran to hug me.

There was no superfluous feeling, just a heartbeat, a tingling sensation like an electric shock behind his back, and every place on his body that was hugged by him was chaotic and mechanically fixed.

The kiss on Mu Xi's rooftop brought me anger, but Zhang Huaixu's hug was an evil joy in my heart.

Zhang Huaixu is right, I am the kind of person who knows my thoughts, but still pretends to be confused. Perhaps for me, love is a taboo that should not be touched at this age, and the green fruits picked too early will not be sweeter, but only bitter.

But I rejoiced in the throbbing of this youth.

"Tan Lige, stay in Beijing." His fingers curled a strand of my hair and circled it, "That way, we can still be together........ School. ”

I don't remember what I said after that, but I still remember that he dragged his suitcase away, and he was full of spirit, as if he had the confidence of the whole world.

When I was 18 years old, the teenager I liked was like this, he didn't have the world's top face, he wasn't mature enough to carry the crown, and he might not have become the best person, but he was just wearing a blue and white school uniform, and he could leave an eternal imprint in his heart with a light smile.........

On June 7, 2009, at four o'clock in the morning, I closed the yellowed and tattered language book, and breathed a long sigh of relief, with a pile of well-written papers spread out in front of me, and then I nodded relaxedly.

Yesterday, in order to prepare for the college entrance examination, the school did not set up evening self-study, and classes ended early. I didn't say a word, rushed to the house, made the alarm clock to get up at two o'clock, and went to sleep. My memory is not very good, and I often forget the things I have just memorized, so every time I take the big exam, I will choose to sleep first, and then get up to memorize the texts and memorize the comprehensive texts, so that I will not be sleepy in the first exam.

The phone rang just in time.

"Hello?"

"Hey." There was a pause, "How's it going?" ”

"Well, that's good."

"Pencils, erasers, rulers, admission tickets, gum notebooks and brains, do you have them all?"

"Bring it, bring it."

"I don't believe it, you read it again as I say."

How did this person become as annoying as the old mother who cooked in the TV series.

"Pencils, rulers, erasers, ......."

I counted them to him, and in the small mirror I finally touched, I reflected the smile and the look in my eyes when I called.

What is a coincidence, but that's it.

"It's just the college entrance examination, don't be nervous."

I resisted the urge to slap him to death, we studied hard for 12 years for this battle, and he actually said that the college entrance examination was like a joke.

"Zhang Huaixu, where did you put your pen?"

"In the top right corner of my drawer, what's wrong?"

"Hee-hee, isn't this auspicious."

This is what Gu Cheng told me, two days ago, she pulled me to borrow a pen from a junior named Ji Xiangkong in the second year of high school.

"Why don't you use your own pen?" I asked her.

"Isn't this for the sake of good luck? Legend has it that the soul of a scholar will be condensed on the pen he usually uses, giving you the power of a short-lived scholar at a critical moment. ”

Gu Cheng said as he pointed to the sky with his pen and made an expression as if he was absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

In fact, Gu Cheng's academic performance is far better than Ji Xiangkong's, and looking at the look she looked on when she borrowed the pen just now, I am afraid that there is another reason.

I smiled thoughtfully.........

Tan Lige ....... "The voice on the other end of the phone called me in a low voice.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, come on. After the college entrance examination, I'll take you somewhere. He seemed to laugh and hung up the phone.

What's going on, it's mysterious.

As usual, I went downstairs to Grandma Hua's bun shop to eat a cage of steamed buns and drink a bottle of soy milk.
