A hydrogen bomb exploded overhead, and a thick black smoke rolled out, Tong Yang's heart trembled violently, and when he regained his senses in the strange silence, he saw Hao Qiqi being pushed to the other side of the chair by him, his eyes widened, and he looked at the usually gentle teenager with such a look of incredulity.

A hot current quickly invaded Tong Yang's limbs, and he hurriedly went over to help Hao Qiqi: "You, are you okay?" ”

Hao Qiqi's eyes were red, and she pushed Tong Yang's hand away, her lips turned white, and she turned her head stubbornly, without saying or speaking. Tong Yang panicked, not knowing whether to comfort the girl in front of him, or make a decisive refusal.

Why, why endure and retreat, why torture yourself again and again.

Hao Qiqi didn't wait for Tong Yang to react, she stiffly propped herself up, blushing blushing, like a boiled crab, the maple leaves above her head let out a mournful sound, falling alone, and turning into a broken corpse in the air. The path covered with dead leaves under your feet seemed to be strewn with corpses and rivers of blood.

"Hao Qiqi, I-"

Hao Qiqi held the schoolbag in her arms, stained a maple leaf on her body, sniffed hard, turned around and trotted away.

Since then, the two have never met, and Tong Yang never received Hao Qiqi's convenience note in his bicycle at the beginning of school, his heart was filled with bitterness and guilt, no matter what, he decided to go to Hao Qiqi's class to apologize, since it was impossible to avoid the injury, then reduce the damage to the minimum.

After all, Hao Qiqi has never been at fault, but she just likes someone who doesn't like her.

Tong Yang walked to Hao Qiqi's class, stood at the door and hesitated, and politely stopped a boy in a white sweater: "Classmate, please find Hao Qiqi in your class." ”

The boy in the white sweater was obviously stunned for a moment, and did not reply, but just looked at Tong Yang strangely, and finally seemed to recognize him, showing a disgusted expression.

Tong Yang was inexplicable, did he not hear his words clearly, and was about to say it again, but he didn't expect the boy to suddenly speak fiercely: "You are Tong Yang?" ”

Tong Yang was stunned for a moment, not knowing that he already had such a high reputation, and said hesitantly: "I am." ”

"How the do you dare to come to Hao Qiqi!?" The boy's voice suddenly rose and he almost shouted.

Tong Yang was stunned for a moment: "She, what's wrong with her?" ”

"What's wrong with her, don't you know in your own heart?" The boy was aggressive, "Don't play stupid for me here, get out of which class you come, don't be an eyesore with us!" ”

The boy was so angry that his eyes were red, he looked strange and scary, he entered the class violently, and slammed Tong Yang's shoulder, Tong Yang was so thin that he was almost knocked to the ground.

Seeing the boy enter, Tong Yang held on to the door frame, his eyes drooping quietly and he was puzzled and aggrieved, but there was always a voice in his heart telling him that something must have happened.

A girl with short ear-length hair came out of the class, with thick lenses, she looked quiet and quiet, and she walked silently, she carefully poked Tong Yang's back with her index finger, and asked in a low voice, "Are you here to find Kiki?" ”

Tong Yang nodded: "Yes, is there anything else?" ”

The girl sighed, avoided Tong Yang's gaze, pointed to the glass window at the end of the corridor, and whispered, "Let's go there and talk about it." ”

There were not many people next to the glass window, two blurred shadows were reflected on the white tile wall, Tong Yang's heart was pounding in the chest, and the girl whispered, her posture was not completely relaxed, and she was still a little defensive against Tong Yang.

She ...... What's going on? Tong Yang frowned.

"She's dead." The girl whispered.

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Tong Yang seemed to be drained of all his strength in an instant, his heels were so soft that he could barely stand, his pupils dilated suddenly, his expression fell into a thick shadow, his voice trembled, and his tone was suppressed: "What did you say?" ”

"On October 1, she told her family that she disappeared in the morning, but at noon on the road on the side of the commercial street, she was slammed to the ground by a turning car, and when the ambulance arrived, she was confirmed dead." The girl's voice trembled a little, faint but clear, and the little fluctuating air spread out ripple marks, shaking Tong Yang's eardrums.

Tong Yang's face was pale, and the sun shone on him almost transparently.

"Tong Yang," the girl suddenly raised her head, her eyes flickering, "I ask you, were you together before her accident?" ”

The devil finally pronounced judgment on him, and Tong Yang stared distractedly at the extinguished light bulb above his head, covered with a layer of dust, like an abandoned planet.

He couldn't even hear his own voice.

***

The scandal about Tong Yang and Hao Qiqi in the school is spreading more and more obviously, and it seems that everyone is saying that they were originally together, and before Hao Qiqi's accident, he went out on a date with Tong Yang.

Once in the middle of classes, Tong Yang was called to the office, in just a few steps, his heart trembled, his whole body stiffened, and the people who saw him were whispering, pushing open the office door, and he didn't even report, stumbling and staggering.

In the office, there is not only Tong Yang's homeroom teacher, but also a capable female teacher, and a female head of the house who is dressed plainly. Tong Yang recognized the female teacher as the homeroom teacher of Hao Qiqi's class.

The atmosphere was a little solemn, his teacher beckoned him over, and he was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Tong Yang, we need to talk to you about Hao Qiqi's classmate." ”

Tong Yang nodded in despair and did not sit down.

"The last person she saw before the accident, was that you?"

Tong Yang moved his lips, only to realize that his voice had been distorted: "I have seen her, but we are separated." ”

"Did you go out together?" His teacher asked softly.

His teacher has always liked Tong Yang, well-behaved and smart, and he is also likable, but when such a big thing happens, he can only obey the rules of the school.

"Yes." Tong Yang said.

The parents on the side had changed their faces, and their sunken eyes were a little moist.

"That's—" his teacher sighed, "you're in a relationship." ”

"I didn't!" This is the loudest sentence after Tong Yang entered the office, like a thunderbolt struggling out in the dreary weather.

They don't, obviously nothing. But Hao Qiqi can no longer prove it, and the previous contact between them cannot be erased, leaving a shadow that makes people reverie, their communication, their movements, every time, is the arrow that leads to the final misunderstanding.

will not give anyone a chance, and soon, Tong Yang received a notice of withdrawal. The reason is that the early love in the school has brought a series of adverse consequences, Tong Yang's mother is anxious, sitting on the edge of the bed at night and shedding tears anxiously, no high school is willing to take in a child who has been dropped out of school, and an originally happy family suddenly falls into weirdness.

That night, Tong Yang remembered that he was cowardly hiding in the room, huddled in the corner, listening to the quarrel between men and women outside the door, his father shouted and broke his throat, saying that he could only call Tong Yang to go to the 16th Middle School, his mother resolutely disagreed, and retorted with a loud voice, telling him to think about what kind of place the 16th Middle School is, it is not a place for students to attend classes at all, and a good child will be ruined if he goes in.

After a long time of agreement, every school in H City was unwilling to take Tong Yang in, and his father broke his leg and failed to find a suitable school.

His mother sat on the sofa, looking at her son tiredly, her son has been smart and sensible since he was a child, and he has never caused trouble for himself, and he was dropped out of school all of a sudden, making this gentle woman a lot older all of a sudden, she called Tong Yang to her softly, looked at him and said: "Tong Yang, you tell your mother, have you violated the school rules?" ”

Tong Yang's skeleton is thin, his drooping eyes look aggrieved, but firm, he is soft on the surface, and he is more stubborn than anyone else in his bones, he shook his head and said no.

His mother held him in her arms, and hot tears fell: "Don't worry, son, if you are wronged, your mother will definitely find you a good school." ”

But later, he still carried his schoolbag and stepped into the door of the 16th Middle School.

At that time, he had to live with his grandmother.

There was a big break in Tong Yang's story, he chose to be silent, Yan Shuang didn't ask, the two of them sat on the stone steps at the door, Yan Shuang held his chin and nodded gently.

The atmosphere was a little dull, Yan Shuang moved her calves and naturally changed the topic, she remembered the flower cat at her grandmother's house, leaning lazily against the door frame, not fond of barking, and always had a sense of dormant danger: "That cat was raised by you?" ”

Tong Yang's train of thought quickly followed: "It's my grandmother's." ”

"What's it called?" Yan Shuang looked more interested in cats.

"Yellow." Tong Yang pronounced the name seriously.

Yan Shuang was momentarily stunned, silent for a few seconds, thinking of his own little ancestor with the same name, and nodded awkwardly.

"Actually, it's quite old, and many times it can't drag its legs when it walks, and my grandmother always follows it when she goes out, but when she arrives at the gate of the community, she doesn't leave, and she lies there waiting for my grandmother to come back." Tong Yang drew bored circles on the ground with his hands, "Actually, I prefer to raise dogs, cats are too quiet." ”

"You like to make a fuss?" Yan Shuang was secretly unhappy, and he didn't see that this guy was so good.

"Oh, no-" Tong Yang quickly shook his head, "My grandmother is at home by herself most of the time, and I think having a puppy can make her happier." ”

Yan Shuang felt that this answer was reasonable, she looked at her watch, it was not early, and asked Tong Yang if she should go back, she was worried that her grandmother had just been discharged from the hospital, and there would be no one at home.

Tong Yang was reminded like this, think about it or go back, the two of them went to the bus stop to wait for the bus, Tong Yang looked at his mobile phone, as if he remembered something, and asked Yan Shuang to stand here for a while, he went to buy something and came back immediately.

Yan Shuang didn't care much, waiting for Tong Yang to cross the road, she leaned on the bench on the side of the road to play a small game, and suddenly felt that the chair was vibrating, she looked around along the light, and found that Tong Yang's mobile phone was not brought, it was being placed on the bench, and an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.

Yan Shuang was stunned for a moment, didn't answer, and thought that Tong Yang would come back and ask him to call back by himself after a while.

As a result, the phone call was like a gamble, one couldn't get through and called one after another, and the vibration sound was not interrupted, Yan Shuang frowned, pressed his temple, and saw that Tong Yang couldn't even find a shadow, and when he came back, he didn't know when it would be, forget it, it was better to tell the person on the phone that Tong Yang was not there, and tell him to call again in a while.

So Yan Shuang dialed the answer button, and before she could speak, Yun Yifei's voice came from the earpiece.

"Tong Yang, are you there, Tong Yang?"
