―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Ye Zifeng, as usual, shouted into the house as soon as he entered the door, and spread the message of going home to every corner of the house. Usually, Ye's mother rushed out of the kitchen first, shouting words like "baby son is finally back", and then hugged Ye Zifeng into her arms, followed by Ye's father, who coughed a few times to save Ye Zifeng from Ye's mother's arms. But today is a little different, until Ye Zifeng put on slippers and walked into the house and threw his schoolbag on the sofa aside, no one spoke out, this is Ye Zifeng immediately alerted.

"Dad? Mother? Ye Zifeng slowed down, tentatively changed it twice, and at the same time picked up a stack of newspapers from the sofa and rolled it into a paper tube, and tiptoed towards the kitchen.

"No, people?" Ye Zifeng gently opened the frosted glass sliding door of the kitchen, and looked into the kitchen, but there was still no one.

"What's going on?" Ye Zifeng muttered to himself suspiciously. But at this time, Ye Zifeng still did not relax his vigilance, and immediately turned around one room after another, and after making sure that there was no one in this room, Ye Zifeng couldn't help but sigh helplessly, moved back to the sofa, and sat down.

"Where have all the people gone?" Ye Zifeng looked up at the white spotless ceiling, and he was a little distracted.

The seventeen-year-old Ye Zifeng studied in an ordinary private high school, although the teachers in the school tried their best to teach Ye Zifeng all kinds of knowledge, but because Ye Zifeng was really lazy by nature, his academic performance has not been too high, although this situation will cause dissatisfaction with his parents, but in the eyes of Ye Dad and Ye Mom, Ye Zifeng is still a filial and considerate son, so these two people have been pulling relationships everywhere behind Ye Zifeng's back, hoping that Ye Zifeng can have a reliable job once he is not admitted to university after graduation, Of course, to be honest with this kind of relationship, Ye's father and Ye's mother have no bottom in their hearts, so the two often seem to say inadvertently at the dinner table, "Look at your sister and your sister, they are better at learning than you, just you, I really don't let us worry", every time I heard this, Ye Zifeng also lowered his head shallowly, and his sister Ye Shi, who was sitting on the side, seemed to be arrogant and gulping down the white rice in the bowl.

Regarding Ye Zifeng's sister, that is, the genius among the uncommon geniuses in the entire Ye family's generation, although Ye's father always said when watching TV, "We have children like Xiang Kexin", but then he will always answer "But I just think that those children are not as good as our family's Kexin". Nineteen-year-old Ye Kexin graduated two years earlier than Ye Zifeng, and the score of 689.5 in the college entrance examination shocked Ye Zifeng's whole family and Ye Zifeng's seven aunts and eight aunts. But five days after the college entrance examination score was sent, Ye Kexin still did not receive any admission notices from colleges and universities, which made the Ye family's relatives even more shocked, and at the same time, they couldn't help but have the idea of "could this be a fake score". Fortunately, Ye Kexin got a score of 9.3 in the IELTS test and obtained the qualification to study abroad.

Just when the mystery of Ye Kexin's school choice became more and more intense, Ye Kexin suddenly disappeared, and before leaving, he just left a note that said "I went to the United States to study" and then disappeared for a year, a year later, Ye's father and Ye's mother received a remittance of 10,000 US dollars, and the remitter clearly wrote Ye Kexin's three words, which also made Ye's father and Ye's mother both happy and worried, regardless of the fact that it had come to this, Ye's father and Ye's mother didn't even know the name of the college that Ye Kexin studied, so they couldn't find Ye Kexin. So the two acquiesced to this situation, and told their relatives that Ye Kexin is now studying in the United States. So after that, many relatives brought Ye Zifeng's cousin and a bunch of gifts to the house as guests, and without saying a word, they could unconsciously turn to Ye Kexin's body, and then mysteriously pushed the big bag in front of Ye's father and mother, and then laughed twice and stopped talking. After a lot of time like this, Ye Dad and Ye Mom also understood the meaning of these relatives, obviously hoping that Ye Kexin would say to the tutor in the academy, "There are many peers like me in China who want to come to this college to study" and something like that, but Ye Dad and Ye Mom also felt helpless, Ye Kexin's original mobile phone card was invalid, and there was nowhere to send it even if she wanted to write a letter, besides, her son hadn't taken his sister's relationship yet, how could it be your turn?

Ye Zifeng's impression of a sister can be said to be both profound and vague, Ye Zifeng can always remember that when he was in junior high school, Ye Kexin helped him beat away the senior students who also came to bully him, but after going to high school, due to his sister's excellent academic performance, he was naturally admitted to a key school, and his mediocre grades almost didn't even score 400 points, so he went to such a private high school and started his high school life. My sister's school is a boarding system, and only Saturdays and Sundays can go home, and the rest of the time is mandatory to live in the school, so the time for Ye Zifeng to meet her sister has become very rare, sometimes, on Saturdays and Sundays, Ye Zifeng goes out to make up classes, and when she gets home, her sister is already asleep in the room.

Ye Zifeng, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but recall these past events in his heart, and every time he recalled that his sister beat the senior students who bullied him and robbed him of his pocket money, Ye Zifeng couldn't help but smile, and fantasized about becoming a master like his sister one day, although Ye Zifeng didn't know where Ye Kexin learned his fists and kicks.

"Whew~" Ye Zifeng stood up from the sofa, let out a long breath, and stretched at the same time, "Let's go get some food first." But before Ye Zifeng could take a step, a white paper full of small letters came into Ye Zifeng's eyes, and the paper was lying flat on the coffee table, but Ye Zifeng, who had been thinking about things for a long time, was stunned and didn't see it.

"What is this?" Ye Zifeng picked up the white paper on the coffee table with questions, and began to read the words on it, neat and beautiful Xiaokai seemed familiar, but Ye Zifeng did not write it to anyone else, but was glad in his heart that this article was not written by Xiao Li.

"Dear little maple maple:"

"Little Fengfeng? Mom wrote it? Ye Zifeng glanced at the other party's distraction from what he called himself, generally speaking, the only person who called himself Xiao Fengfeng was his mother, but what his mother wrote was not a stroke by stroke. Ye Zifeng thought about it for a while, and suddenly a thought came out of his heart, "Is it true?" Ye Zifeng couldn't believe it, so he hurriedly read it.

"At my mother's request, I wrote this note. I came back from the United States, and my mom said I was going to have a meal at a nearby restaurant, but you came back too late, so we went first.

Sister, Ye Kexin. ”

"What's ・・・・・・" Ye Zifeng sat back on the sofa weakly, "What's going on?" It's so sudden. Although Ye Zifeng was thinking about what was going on in his mind, several conclusions he came to were very unreliable.

"It's not going to be an April Fool's joke." Ye Zifeng thought suddenly. Of course, Ye Zifeng, who has no idea about the date, will not know what month and day it is, and even what year it is this year, Ye Zifeng only knows this information from the test paper.

I ran to the front of the wall calendar and carefully rummaged through the dates of the day.

"How is January?" Ye Zifeng looked at the first page of the wall calendar and couldn't help but wonder, "Then today is not April Fool's Day?" Then what is ・・・・・・ today" Ye Zifeng's eyes looked for the traces drawn by Ye Ma on the calendar paper, but unfortunately, Ye Zifeng did not find the red marker trace that said "This day has passed", so Ye Zifeng instantly understood one thing.

"Today is, New Year's Day." Ye Zifeng was surprised, "Has 2007 passed?" If you say that, it will be forgivable for my sister to come back. Ye Zifeng didn't hesitate at all, put on his snow boots again and left, closed the door, and then walked to the restaurant where the family frequented, and at the same time took out his mobile phone and began to look for images about Ye Kexin in the album, but unfortunately, none of the more than 400 photos in the entire album were Ye Kexin's, so Ye Zifeng put away his mobile phone and began to think about the appearance of his sister.

"Well, that's how it should be." Ye Zifeng sketched in his heart, "The big-eyed duck egg face and long hair are shoulder-to-shoulder, and then, it's nothing." ”

The human figure that had not yet been outlined was shattered in an instant, and Ye Zifeng shook his head endlessly, with the orange-yellow street lamp, Ye Zifeng looked down at the snow that was reflected in the same orange-yellow color, and kept printing his footprints on it, listening to the creaking sound of the loose snow being stepped on. I still have too little impression of my sister, after all, I haven't seen my sister since she went to high school, and my sister has been in the United States for two years, has the female college changed eighteen, not to mention that my sister is nineteen years old this year.

When thinking like this, a red, green, and green neon plaque appeared in front of Ye Zifeng, and the home-cooked restaurant called "Repeat Customer" appeared in Ye Zifeng's eyes.

"Is this it, New Year's Day?" Ye Zifeng stopped, looked up at the night sky of the city where he had lived for seventeen years, there was not a single star in the sky that shone faintly, just like human nature in the Middle Ages, all imprisoned by the thoughts of the church, and the neon and street lamps in the city were the thoughts of the church at that time. However, when you gaze into the deep sky, you can still see the little bit of blue and white starlight, constantly flickering, like a candle about to be extinguished, bright and dark in the cold wind of the north. Ye Zifeng was a little faint and forgot that his destination was right in front of him, and he couldn't help but send out such a philosophical idea in his heart.

"This light came from a time when the dinosaurs were not extinct." Ye Zifeng exhaled a breath, and the thin cloud dissipated into the air after a short time, which made Ye Zifeng's mind clearer a little. Ye Zifeng raised his footsteps and walked into the restaurant.

"Xiao Fengfeng is here." Mother Ye sat in front of a table of dishes and said to Father Ye excitedly, then turned her head to the side and said to Ye Kexin, who was eating the pork section, "Do you remember your brother?" ”

"How could I not remember." Ye Kexin raised her head with a smile, and at the same time wiped off the vegetable soup stuck to the corner of her mouth with a napkin, "I remember that when I left, Xiao Fengfeng didn't even know what calculus was." ”

"But I know now." Ye Zifeng pulled out the stool next to Ye Kexin with a smile on his face and sat down, "I haven't seen you twice, I can't even remember what you look like." ”

"This kid, how can you talk to your sister?" Mama Ye on the side put down her chopsticks and said slightly.

"Is there anything about it?" Ye Zifeng said casually, "I remember that I used to talk to my sister like this." ”

"That's it, if Xiao Fengfeng changes, I won't be used to it." Ye Kexin stretched out his hand and rubbed Ye Zifeng's head twice, and then said, "Come out quickly, I have something to tell you after eating." ”

"Tell me?" Ye Zifeng picked up the rice that the waiter had just brought and asked puzzledly.

"Why didn't you tell us before?" Mother Ye also said suspiciously, "What can't you say in front of us?" ”

Ye Kexin shook his head with a smile and a word: "This matter is very important, but I know that there can only be Xiao Fengfeng alone." ”

"I want to know, I want to know." Ye Shi on the side swallowed the rice in his mouth hard, and then immediately pulled Ye Kexin's sleeve and kept shaking.

"Little girl, don't follow suit." Father Ye pulled Ye Shi by the collar and pulled Ye Shi back to his seat, "Stop eating." ”

"Hmm." Ye Shi picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, with obvious dissatisfaction, and devoured all the dissatisfaction on the dish in front of him, and used the strength to crush his teeth with every bite, Ye Zifeng, who watched Ye Shi behave like this, had to smile helplessly, picked up a piece of meat, and sent this mouthful of rice into his mouth. However, the cold situation also appeared when Ye Zifeng just arrived, and then the family started a discussion around Ye Kexin, first about the environment and facilities of Ye Kexin's college, and then on topics such as the tutor's character, and then when it came to Ye Kexin's elective courses, Ye Shi also came to the spirit, and the previous sullenness was swept away. So, the whole family spent this original dinner in such a happy atmosphere.

After dinner, Ye Kexin sent Ye's father, Ye's mother and Ye Shi home, and took Ye Zifeng for a walk on the street.

"What are you looking for me to say? So mysterious? Ye Zifeng was beside Ye Kexin, thinking that Ye Kexin asked, and at the same time took out his wallet, and roughly clicked the banknotes inside, as well as two hundred yuan, "Let's go, go to Starbucks and sit down, I haven't been there yet." ”

"Let's go." Ye Kexin didn't object, just responded lightly, and then deliberately took a step slower and followed behind Ye Zifeng, "You come and lead the way, I don't know the way." ”

"Hmm." Ye Zifeng nodded, put his hands in his pockets to keep warm, and shrunk his neck at the same time.

"Xiao Fengfeng, you say, do you believe in God?" Ye Kexin's sudden words, Ye Zifeng was stunned.

"God?" Ye Zifeng looked up at the end of the street, "Maybe not, but I think there must be such a thing as a god." ”

"It's contradictory to say that." Ye Kexin chuckled twice, "Tell me what you think." ”

"Quite simply, God doesn't have to really exist, it just needs to exist in the human heart. God is not so much an entity as God is just a belief, or a sign. ”

"Makes sense, but it's a bit superficial." Ye Kexin shook his head in the back, "Let's go on." ”

"Superficial, of course." Ye Zifeng smiled bitterly, "I think the more important value of God should be hope." ”

"Hope?" Ye Kexin smiled suspiciously, "What do you say?" ”

"It's the kind of hope that when humanity is in crisis, it can suddenly pop up to save humanity. But it is often human beings who save human beings, and God to put it bluntly is the potential and hope of survival that human beings burst out in the face of adversity. ”

"Interesting." Ye Kexin nodded, "Then do you want to be a god?" ”

Ye Zifeng stopped suddenly, and then turned around and looked at Ye Kexin, who had also stopped.

This moment is the most tangled moment and the most disillusioned moment in Ye Zifeng's life, it is like he has a sister who has become a god but the dragon is gone, and one day suddenly came back from the land of the gods and said to Ye Zifeng, you can become a god now, so are you willing to become a god? Ye Zifeng also imagined the same scene, and finally came to the conclusion that he agreed to it, no matter how hard it was. But at this time, when Ye Zifeng faced such a scene, this resolute sentence was stuck in Ye Zifeng's throat like a fish thorn.

"What? What are you waiting for? Ye Kexin grinned slightly, and at the same time took a step forward, put his face close to Ye Zifeng's somewhat dull face, and exhaled a sigh, "Didn't you say that you want to invite me to Starbucks, let's go." As for becoming a god, let's think about it later. ”

Ye Zifeng hurriedly caught up with Ye Kexin's pace. The two didn't go to Starbucks in the end, and Ye Kexin said that it was cold halfway, so the two turned around and went home.

At night, Ye Zifeng lay on the bed tossing and turning, and the word "god" kept dangling in front of Ye Zifeng's eyes.

"What does it mean to become a god?" Ye Zifeng never understood, although Ye Zifeng firmly believed that the so-called supernatural beings would be produced in this world because of genetic mutations, but Ye Zifeng did not think that what Ye Kexin said was becoming supernatural through genetic changes, and he did not think that supernatural beings were gods in this world. Then the problem comes, Ye Zifeng doesn't know the meaning of becoming a god at all, he doesn't know the direction of becoming a god, and he doesn't know the consequences of becoming a god, Ye Zifeng can't make a choice, but Ye Zifeng just doesn't want to give up, he has been wilting for seventeen years, and Ye Zifeng doesn't want to let go of this opportunity to become a god.

"Then, it's good to become a god." Ye Zifeng firmly believed this idea in his heart, and then a wave of sleepiness hit his mind like a tide, and Ye Zifeng fell asleep deeply. In the dream, a city made entirely of steel appeared in front of Ye Zifeng's eyes, and under his feet was a red carpet leading to two endless sections, and the words of the road to becoming a god were sewn with golden silk threads for each meter of the red carpet, and the red carpet passed all the way into the steel city.

Early the next morning, Ye Zifeng knocked on Ye Kexin's door, and Ye Kexin's sleepy voice came out of the room: "Come, come, who, knock on the door early in the morning." ”

"I said eldest sister, it's already eight o'clock, what is early in the morning." Ye Zifeng stood helplessly at the door of Ye Kexin's room with a plate of breakfast.

"Yo, Xiao Fengfeng." Ye Kexin opened the door, "What's the matter?" ”

"Of course there is, didn't I come to you?" Ye Zifeng took the tray in his hand, "There are two things, the first thing is to send you breakfast, and the second thing is to ask if Chengshen has to pay any handling fees and the like." ”

"I've already paid the fee." Ye Kexin turned around and went back to the house, "You come in, the handling fee is to buy this form, you don't have to pay it back if the money is not much, if you think about it, take a look at the regulations, and then sign it." Breakfast is on the table. ”

Ye Kexin opened the curtains and took a deep breath of indoor air in the sunlight shining into the room: "You wait for me first, just sit down." After that, Ye Kexin yawned and walked into the bathroom. Ten minutes later, Ye Kexin walked out of the bathroom, took out a brown paper envelope from the satchel he was carrying, and then handed Ye Zifeng a pen.

Ye Zifeng took the envelope and first glanced at the cover, the earthy yellow kraft paper did not have the box with stamps and postal codes that should be attached to the normal envelope, but there was a strange shadow in the middle of the envelope, which looked a little like some kind of advanced automatic rifle, but it was not the case when you looked closely.

"What kind of pattern is this?" Ye Zifeng asked.

"This is the academy's emblem, and it is printed with the 'Falcon'-class frigate." Ye Kexin replied nonchalantly, and then took a sip of milk.

"Huh?" Ye Zifeng's eyes widened, "What a 'falcon' or something." What are you talking about? ”

"Tell me again, that shadow is a Hayabusa-class frigate." Ye Kexin glanced at Ye Zifeng, "Just look at the content inside." ”

"Uh-oh." Ye Zifeng nodded hurriedly. To be honest, Ye Zifeng didn't hear Ye Kexin's previous answer clearly, he just wanted to confirm it. This frigate, which does not have a sonar spoiler under the bow, does not look like it is driving in the sea.

Ye Zifeng took out a piece of A4 copy paper from the envelope, on which were densely written fifteen or six lines of No. 5 Songti Chinese characters, and the top was a bold bold title.

"Newcastle College Admission Instructions"

"Newcastle College? What is it? Ye Zifeng asked again.

"It's your sister's academy where I'm studying now." Ye Kexin swallowed the bread in his mouth.

"Oh." Ye Zifeng nodded, and after quickly reading the lengthy speeches and regulations below, Ye Kexin also finished breakfast and watched Ye Zifeng take a long breath.

"Well, what do you think?" Ye Kexin looked at Ye Zifeng with a smile on her face.

Ye Zifeng turned his head and looked at Ye Kexin, and found that a trace of cold air flowed from Ye Kexin's smiling face, and his right hand was also behind him as if he was holding something, which made Ye Zifeng shiver, and said with a wry smile.

"Looks like I have no way to refuse." Ye Zifeng opened the cap of the Parker pen that Ye Kexin handed him before, and used the golden tip of the pen to mark the three words "Ye Zifeng" in the place of signature, and then handed the A4 copy paper back to Ye Kexin. Ye Kexin folded the copy paper again, stuffed it back into the envelope, and then stretched out her right hand to Ye Zifeng.

"Congratulations, you have embarked on the path to godhood."

"Yes, congratulations indeed." Ye Zifeng shook his head helplessly, "What about after that?" Am I going to take the TOEFL? I looked, Newcastle College is registered in the United States. ”

"Not really." Ye Kexin thought for a while, "Anyway, you don't have to take this college entrance examination, you can go with me after the New Year, and I will explain it to my parents." ”

"It's best if you don't take the test." Ye Zifeng reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "But you said to go?" Where to? ”

"That's still a question." Ye Kexin glanced at Ye Zifeng, "Of course I'm going to the academy." ”

"Going to the academy? But I don't have a U.S. visa, how do you let me go? ”

"Simple." Ye Kexin smiled mysteriously, and took out a brown notebook from his satchel, "Here, I'll help you get your passport and signature." I knew that Xiao Fengfeng would follow me. ”

"Hey~" Ye Zifeng sighed, "It's okay to get on the thief ship, my parents don't have to worry about me." ”

In fact, Ye Zifeng has always imagined that when he becomes a god, he must show off to his friends, laughing and shouting, "Look, you see, I have become a god, envy, envy, envy, right?" Hahahaha", although he will definitely be teased for a month after being regarded as a psychopath, Ye Zifeng himself has at least been happy. But in this case, Ye Zifeng really can't laugh, and I don't know why, there is always a huge pressure on the top of Ye Zifeng's head, let alone laughing, it is difficult for Ye Zifeng to even breathe now.

O patron saint of mankind! What a heavy name, now it is on the head of Ye Zifeng.

Newcastle College located in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

Feng Fengxiang, dressed in white, stood on the seashore, looking into the far land to the west, as if he saw all the red dust in the world, Feng Fengxiang lit a cigarette and took a deep breath: "It seems that it has succeeded." A smile crept up Feng Fengxiang's slightly aged face.

The waves of the sea water crash on the rocks by the sea, just like the poem depicting "the waves crashing on the shore and rolling up a thousand piles of snow", accompanied by the sound of the tide in the sunset. The sound of this tide was imprinted in Feng Fengxiang's ears, and it was also imprinted in Ye Zifeng's mind. He will never forget this New Year's Day in 2008 and the sound of the tide in the sky.
