"What time do you arrive?" As soon as Tian Xiang got in the car, he received a text message from Xue Yuxin.

"It's about three o'clock, just got in the car. After replying, Tian Xiang leaned heavily on the back of his chair, heavy loss and faint hope intertwined, reluctant to leave but had nothing to worry about. The car started slowly, looking out through the window, a place that was once familiar, but now it is extremely unfamiliar. Will he ever come back? I think so, after all, my loved ones are sleeping here.

The trip was very punctual, arriving at the provincial capital at about three o'clock in the afternoon. Tian Xiang carried the package and walked out of the station with the flow of people.

Today's sun is exceptionally good, and when it comes out, it is even a little dazzling.

"Tian Xiang, Tian Xiang!" Xue Yuxin's voice sounded in the distance.

Tian Xiang stretched out his hand to put up the curtain and looked over there, Xue Yuxin was jumping and squeezing here, the pink jacket against the handsome face was like a blooming delicate flower, more and more cute. Tian Xiang stood in place, he didn't expect Xue Yuxin to come to pick him up, he just said it on the phone a few days ago, he didn't dare to hope at all, not to mention that Xue Yuxin refused at that time. However, she showed up at the first time. "You're finally here!" Xue Yuxin ran to him with a smile.

Sadness, grievances, and longing, like a torrent bursting a levee, instantly broke all defenses. The bag slipped off Tian Xiang's shoulder, and he hugged Xue Yuxin, and silent tears flowed down his cheeks and fell on Xue Yuxin's shoulder.

"Let go, you let go......" Xue Yuxin, who was hugged, instantly turned crimson, shy and dodged, and pushed him hard. Suddenly, she noticed something abnormal, because Tian Xiang was crying, and her body was trembling slightly. It was a heart-rending cry, and although she couldn't hear the sound, she could feel it, and it was a very strange feeling. "What's wrong with you?" Xue Yuxin didn't push him, and gently hugged Tian Xiang. Tian Xiang didn't answer, and of course he didn't know how to answer at all. In this way, the two people quietly hugged each other in the strange eyes of passers-by, as if there were only you and me in the whole world.

After a long time, Tian Xiang finally spoke, "I miss you!"

"Me too. Xue Yuxin didn't know why, and suddenly felt extremely happy. The first time a boy cried on her shoulder, the first time someone told her in her ear that he was thinking about her. "What's going on?" Xue Yuxin couldn't help but ask again.

After another long time, Tian Xiang said with a crying voice: "Grandma is gone, and I have no relatives anymore." ”

After a brief silence, Xue Yuxin said softly, "And me." Even she couldn't figure out why she said that, but she said it anyway, and in fact she thought so in her heart.

When the two returned to school, it was getting dark, Tian Xiang sent the package back to the dormitory, said hello to a few roommates, washed up briefly, and ran out again. Xue Yuxin was waiting for him downstairs.

After the two of them had a casual meal at the school gate, they walked aimlessly hand in hand, and the lanterns in the twilight stretched their backs for a long time. That night, Tian Xiang said a lot of things, including his family, his relatives, his past, his present, and the future he wanted. Xue Yuxin listened quietly, accompanied by his sadness and happiness.

It was late at night, standing downstairs in the girls' dormitory, Tian Xiang said softly, with infinite sadness and helplessness, "I'm afraid...... Not worthy of you. ”

Xue Yuxin looked at him quietly for a while, and suddenly stepped forward to hug him, "No, you are my only one, and you will always be." ”

Tian Xiang hugged her tightly, "I like you." ”

"Do you just like it?" Xue Yuxin looked up at him with a pretty face, and a few wicked smiles flowed on her face.

"I love you. Tian Xiang stared at her pretty face by the faint light.

"That's pretty much it. After speaking, he buried his head in Tian Xiang's arms, "Me too." ”

"Who's that, what are you doing without sleeping in the middle of the night?" Someone suddenly drank in the distance.

"The inspector from the department is here, go back quickly. After Xue Yuxin finished speaking, "hehe" smiled and ran to the dormitory, stuck out her tongue at him and made a grimace when she entered the door, turned around and ran upstairs.

Tian Xiang also hurriedly ran to the boys' dormitory building, only to hear the man behind him shouting, "Don't study hard, it's very energetic to fall in love!" followed by a burst of laughter.

The dormitories had long since been cut off, except for a few dim lights in the hallways, some of which were still lit with candles, some people playing poker, and some chattering about themselves. Tian Xiang is very familiar with this kind of scene. This has always been a practice, especially after the senior year, some brothers are groggy during the day and energetic at night, and they don't make trouble until the second half of the night. And today Tian Xiang's dormitory is exceptionally quiet, standing at the door without smelling a trace of movement. "It's strange, the old horse is lying in the groove so early?" Tian Xiang muttered as he opened the door. The room was pitch black, Tian Xiang took out his mobile phone and pressed it, the battery had already been drained, so he had to grope to move to the bedside.

"Stop!" Someone suddenly roared in his ear, startling Tian Xiang, turned around and ran, only to hear the laughter behind him.

Tian Xiang took advantage of the faint light in the corridor to take a closer look at the house number, raised his foot and kicked the door open, the monkey was lying on the table and lit candles, almost all the boys in the class gathered here, the upper and lower beds were full of people, and Xiong Ruiqi, who was more than 180 pounds, stood at the table with a thick waist.

"Bear, what kind of roar did your mother roar, it scared me. Tian Xiang said as he walked inside.

"Don't yell at you, it's all on Lao Tzu. Xiong Ruiqi grabbed Tian Xiang's arm, suddenly changed his face, and sold it with a smile, "Brother, don't be angry, I just yelled casually, change it later, change it in the future!"

Tian Xiang looked at him inexplicably, "Xiong, you fucking estrus?"

"Xiong, look at your little bit of talent, your more than 180 pounds are all fucking pork? As soon as I saw Tian Xiang, I shook my head and shook my tail, I really can't stand you. Raylin rolled his eyes and sneered.

"Fuck off! Even pork can crush you to death on an old horse. Xiong Ruiqi changed her smile after speaking, "Brother, what are you busy with?"

"I can't stand it, I can't stand this guy. ”

"This is a bear, it's clearly a pig!"

In the dormitory, there was laughter, burying and scolding.

Tian Xiang glanced at the entire dormitory from top to bottom, and his eyes fell on Xiong Ruiqi, "I said you don't go to hibernation, stay here to do the ball?"

"Isn't this spring, come out for a walk. Xiong Ruiqi still has that cheap expression.

"He doesn't do the ball, he's here to be in heat!" I don't know who answered, causing the dormitory to burst into laughter again.

"Get out, fuck off, fucking harass me again, I'll rape him!" Xiong Ruiqi yelled around with a tense face. I have to say that this sentence works very well, and no one squeaked immediately. Because after all, this guy has that pile of meat there, and anyone who is rubbed by him indiscriminately can't stand it, and he can spit out the bitter gall. However, Xiong Ruiqi only didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Tian Xiang, to be precise, the two of them had a fight, and the result was that the big fat man of more than 180 pounds was beaten. But it's strange to say, I didn't get annoyed for a few days after being beaten, and I took the initiative to apologize to Tian Xiang, and gradually the relationship between the two was very iron. Everyone knows this, Tian Xiang has practiced at home, but others are not so good, if you provoke this stupid bear to go crazy, you will only be ravaged, so you all keep your mouth shut.

"Xiang, the monkey met two people today, I don't know if you're interested?" the old horse changed the subject.

"It's about my birds! The monkey doesn't pick the fruit, and when he sees someone, he bathes and crowns!" Tian Xiang pulled through the crowd and sat on the bed to change his shoes.

"Hey, why are you scolding humans?" said Ge Hou in a crooked tongue.

"Look at you, monkeys can not only climb trees, but also people!" replied with a smile.

"Monkey, who did you see?" Tian Xiang got up and prepared to fetch water to wash.

The monkey didn't answer, staring at Tian Xiang and smiling lewdly, his thin face becoming more and more black and red in the candlelight.

Without hearing the answer, Tian Xiang suddenly turned his head to look at him, "Monkey, do you have chicken blood on your face?"

"Xiang, don't be so mean, after all, you haven't evolved well, and at first glance, I saw a man and a woman holding hands, and I was a little uncomfortable. The old horse answered.

Tian Xiang smiled "hehe", turned around and looked at everyone, "You don't sleep, just for this for half a day?"

Four-eyed exaggeratedly smashed his mouth, "How can it be, a group of bachelors, this kind of thing has always been rare." ”

Tian Xiang glanced at them and grinned, "Okay, then tell you, I am in love with Xue Yuxin, are you satisfied?"

There was a commotion in the dormitory.

"You kid finally admit it, the damn murderer invited you to a meal. The old horse whispered in the crowd.

After a while, the dormitory finally returned to calm, Tian Xiang lay quietly on the bed, his heart was warm for a short time and then fell into sorrow, first the scene of his grandmother's departure flashed in front of him again, and after some pain, he gradually pondered the problem of livelihood. Suddenly got up from the bed with a grunt, "Chen Kui, Chen Kui, have you slept?"

Chen Kui let out an "um" sound.

"Tell me! What are you pretending to be dead?" Tian Xiang said in a suppressed voice.

"It's midnight, what are you going to fart? Malelin suddenly answered.

"Old horse, lie down in your trough!" After that, he turned his head and asked, "Chen Kui, have you bought the newspaper for the past two days?"

"Bought it, what do you want to do here in the middle of the night. Chen Kui replied and pulled out a stack of newspapers from under his pillow.

"Give it to me!" Tian Xiang said and got up, lit the candle, went over to catch it, and muttered, "You have to find a job quickly, otherwise you will have to stop." ”

"You kid, every time school starts, you look for a job, and you can't stand it. Four Eyes said leisurely on the bed.

"Life is hard, and it makes you laugh. Tian Xiang said as he unfolded the newspaper and flipped through the small advertisement.

"Xiang, I heard that the Geological Bureau is going to recruit people recently, prepare for the exam, that's the right thing. The old horse suddenly said something human.

"Isn't the Geological Bureau usually recruiting people in the second half of the year?" replied Tian Xiang as he flipped through the small advertisement.

"No, I heard that the Geological Bureau is going to set up an exploration team, and we are going to recruit a few people in our department and establish a career. The old horse replied.

"Really? This kind of good thing can be our turn, and the children in the Geological Bureau have all taken up the quota. Tian Xiang raised his head and looked at Ma Ruilin.

"It doesn't matter if it's so much, as long as you dare to recruit us, you dare to report it, try your luck, it doesn't cost money anyway. Raylin stretched and retracted into the bed.

Tian Xiang stared at him for a while, "That's what you said, whether there are fish or not, let's cast the net first." It's just that...... , do you still remember that old man Chen? I made a break that day, and it was useless to hit him in his hands. ”

A phoenix that has lost its hair is not as good as a chicken, and a retired leader is not as good as a dog. If you go to the Geological Bureau now, you can't find him with a lantern, and you hit him, and hitting him will only make him fall. Ma Ruilin suddenly came to his senses, and went to sleep with his head and face covered after saying in one breath.

"Makes sense! Old horse, you're tall. After Tian Xiang finished speaking, he continued to look through the small advertisement, but he secretly wondered in his heart: I need to prepare, after all, I have to pass the written test first.
