Chapter 22: Amulet (2)
Han Mo, who was sitting at the desk, holding a talisman in his hand, recalled the autumn of his military training.
In September, it's still hot.
The students under the scorching sun were wearing military training uniforms, feeling the high temperature and braving endless sweat.
Su Ziyue's bangs that were pressed by the hat were already soaked, and beads of sweat kept coming out, flowing down her forehead, and some fell into her eyes. She was so uncomfortable that she quickly wiped her hand, and when she saw the instructor turn her head, she quickly put her hand back to her side.
"There's one minute left to rest, hold on." Instructors walked back and forth on the side.
Just when Su Ziyue felt that she was about to lose her hold, the time had come. Relaxed, she squatted on the ground and drank the water she had brought aside. In order to distinguish her water bottle, she specially tore off the outer wrapping paper and pasted it backwards, and also marked it with a pen.
During that time, because the military training was too tiring, Su Ziyue usually bought some food in the supermarket at noon, and then went to the hot water room to get hot water before returning to the dormitory. Because she was sweating, she couldn't stand the slimy feeling on her body, so she would always go back to the dormitory first to take a quick shower, and then sit cross-legged on the chair and blow the electric fan to eat.
Even when she opened the dormitory door and balcony door to let in the wind, the wind that blew in was warm. When my roommate returned, the smell in the dormitory was almost gone.
"Su Ziyue, you are eating fried noodles today, right?" Chen Yuxi jumped into the dormitory.
"That's a good guess." This is the third day in a row that Chen Yuxi has guessed her lunch correctly.
"That's right, do you still have hot water, give me some." Chen Yuxi picked up the basin and towel.
"The blue one has half a pot, you can use it." Su Ziyue knew that Chen Yuxi, a lazy man, didn't want to fetch water by himself.
Tang Yu brought a fried rice cake to Han Mo, and also asked for errand fees.
"I said, did you see a girl with a ponytail in the first row in the class next to us today?" Chen Jie turned over in the mosquito net and said to a few people outside.
"That's my junior high school classmate Yang Qianqian." Li Juzhi, who was opposite, replied while lying on the bed.
"Tell me what kind of girl she is?" Chen Jie sat up excitedly immediately.
"There are so many girls in our class, do you have to watch other classes?" Tang Yu was in the toilet and heard them discussing outside, "Han Mo, you said yes, right?" ”
Han Mo was still slowly eating the fried rice cakes, and no one noticed him nodding.
Tang Yu came out of the toilet after washing his hands, sat down in his seat, and took out a ham sausage from the drawer.
"Han Mo, tell you something funny. Today, when we were bringing you rice cakes in the cafeteria, we saw a girl with short hair carrying a meal and a man bumping into each other. As a result, the man fell, and the woman did nothing. ”
"Is it from our class?" Han Mo asked thoughtfully.
"Probably not, I haven't seen it." Tang Yu divided the ham sausage into two halves and gave half to Han Mo.
"I'm full, you can eat it yourself." Han Mo put down his chopsticks and began to clean up the table.
Tang Yu saw that Han Mo didn't appreciate it, so he ate it all by himself.
The lunch break always passed so quickly, an hour's rest, and I woke up thinking that it was only ten minutes later.
In the afternoon, a sudden thunderstorm interrupted the progress of the military training, and everyone took refuge in a place where they could block the rain. The rostrum directly opposite the playground was crowded with students from all classes at this moment, Han Mo turned his head and found that the person next to him happened to be Su Ziyue, in order not to squeeze her, he silently endured the squeeze of the classmates on the side.
And the classmates on Su Ziyue's side always leaned towards her, so she had to move a little closer to Han Mo's side. After a while, another class of people ran up, and Su Ziyue's whole person was instantly bumped into Han Mo. Han Mo just saw it, and directly used his hand to stabilize Su Ziyue.
"I'm sorry." Su Ziyue looked up at the people on the side.
"It's fine." Han Mo smiled at Su Ziyue, and then let go of his hand.
"Thank you." Su Ziyue didn't look at Han Mo again, but looked at the rain outside.
The surrounding students were chirping like a flock of sparrows, the rain did not stop, and the words did not stop.
Fortunately, it was a thundershower, which came suddenly and went in a hurry. After the rain, the sky seemed to be clearer, and the air was mixed with a clear smell of grass and earthworms emerging from the dirt.
"Alright, assemble the classes." The instructor shouted from the audience.
Han Mo walked behind Su Ziyue, and several people walked at the end of the crowd in a sparse manner. When he went down the steps, he saw that something had fallen from Su Ziyue in front of him, and when he squatted down and picked it up, Su Ziyue had already run away. He could only put the talisman in his pocket first, thinking that he would have the opportunity to return it to Su Ziyue.
Who knew that he waited for an opportunity, and he didn't return it until now.
It wasn't until a few days before the admission ticket was issued that everyone knew about Han Mo being escorted. When Tang Yu found out, he rushed to Han Mo's seat on the spot, and the two of them began to fight. Su Ziyue on the side lowered her head and took care of her homework, as if the noise around her had nothing to do with her.
Han Mo turned his head to look at Su Ziyue, who was silent, and his mood was inexplicably uncomfortable.
The night before the exam, Su Ziyue prepared the necessities for the exam, and felt a little thirsty and went downstairs to pour some water. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Han Mo standing at the door of her room.
Han Mo stood at the door for a long time, but he never raised his hand to knock on the door.
"You, looking for me?" Su Ziyue broke the silence.
"I have something for you." Han Mo unfolded the talisman hidden in the palm of his hand in front of Su Ziyue.
"This?" Su Ziyue looked at this talisman and thought that this should be the one she had seen in the novel before.
"Didn't my dad give me the college entrance examination before, use it for you, and didn't you lose it?" Han Mo still didn't plan to tell her that this was hers in the end.
"How do you know I'm lost?" Su Ziyue looked at Han Mo curiously.
"I guessed." Han Mo looked a little embarrassed, "Okay, you should rest early, there will be an exam tomorrow." ”
"Han Mo, thank you."
Su Ziyue, who was holding the empty cup, forgot that she was going to pour water, and returned to the room with the amulet in hand. She put the cup on the bedside table, and then lay down on the bed, looking at the little amulet she was holding in her hand, and there was an indescribable warmth in her heart. may have been a little depressed about Han Mo hiding that he was escorted before, but now it has been completely swept away.
In the summer of the eighteen-year-old, my classmates sat in the still stuffy classroom with the windows open, sweating and suffering from heat stroke even when they were blowing the fans.
There is endless homework every day, and there is nowhere to talk to complaining, which makes people feel that every day is so long, but there is always not enough time.
At this moment, looking at the sky full of stars and the cool breeze of midsummer, it all feels like an untouchable dream.
This summer, students have learned perseverance and patience.
In the past three years of high school life, there are always some things that Su Ziyue doesn't want to remember, and there are always some things that are worth cherishing and remembering.
Su Ziyue was successfully admitted to the Normal School, and Xia Shu was also admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts as he wished, and he was in the same city as Han Mo and Tang Yu's schools. Although the schools of the four people are not very close, the result is considered a satisfactory one.
High school life has come to an end, but college life is quietly coming.
