Xiaomei just walked around the school after dinner, and then went back to review for the exam.

The routine inspections did not have any bad effects. But when I met Mu Qing again, the feeling of not cleaning up the bad things hurt this beautiful "holiday".

So, in addition to eating and sleeping, Si Li spent the next two weeks reviewing, playing games, and occasionally reading some psychology books. This kind of life makes me feel suffocated. But the outside world is even more boring.

Although there is a little inexplicable displeasure, the comfort brought by the absence of classes makes time pass in such a hurry.

Soon, the midterm exams arrived as scheduled. Exams for 4 subjects were squeezed on the same day.

On this day, the weather, overcast.

Not only has the weather lost its former sunshine, but even this campus is full of urgency and oppression. In every university, the most active are the freshmen. Baptized by the college entrance examination, they began to gallop like wild horses in a new school, a new "starting point" in life, and a new unattended "kennel". However, it is still the exam that can tame the wild horse and push the prodigal son back. In the early stage, Si Li often saw the scene of freshman classmates giggling and hooking shoulders on the school road, which was in stark contrast to the "maturity and stability" of the seniors in other grades. And today, all of them are "mature and steady".

Just after 7 a.m., Silly woke up from her sleep to find that he was the only one left in the dormitory.

Breakfast alone, alone through the window looking at the rushing pedestrians on the school road.

The exam is from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., and the two subjects are jointly examined, with no break in between. It was only 7:30 a.m. when Si Li finished breakfast. But the school road is deserted.

Because this examination is more important, the school has set a number of regulations and strengthened management. Students are required to wait in a specific classroom by 7:45 a.m., the so-called waiting area. At 8 o'clock, a senior will come to hand out the admission ticket. After receiving the admission ticket, candidates will know which classroom they are taking the exam in and what the exam number is. Within 20 minutes after receiving the admission ticket, candidates should rush to the designated classroom in time, line up for inspection and take their seats to prepare for the start of the exam.

In less than 5 minutes, Si Li arrived at the waiting area. However, he hesitated at the door, not knowing what to do. In the classroom, the students are all looking at the books and reviewing carefully, and even the ones in the class who usually don't like to study are also looking at the textbooks. As for him, all he held tightly in his hand were two pens and a pack of paper.

He walked in cheekily and chose the back chair. When he looked around, he saw Mu Qing, but Mu Qing didn't notice him.

Not far away, Mu Qing was nervously calculating something, and the pen in her hand was like a swimming dragon.

Since Mu Qing's position was also relatively backward and there was no obstruction, Si Li could clearly see Mu Qing's charming side face. Maybe it's because of the hurry to get up early, or maybe it's because of the unintentional grooming, today's Mu Qing is not as delicate as before, but a little more elegant.

If Si Li is a careful person, maybe his little sister will jump out and be the first to object. Because the talented and intelligent Sili never got a perfect score in the exam, the reason for this is carelessness. Today, he carefully noticed the tear stains on Mu Qing's face and the redness at the corners of his eyes, as if he had just cried. But when he thought about it, Mu Qing was a delicate girl, and it was impossible for her to be so careless about her image after crying.

Si Li, who has always insisted that it is better to personally inquire about the principles than to analyze the rationality after thinking about it, has not been as brave as before. He had always been afraid that the woman he cared about would cry. At home, whatever the little sister wants him to do, as long as he cries, the effect is immediate. I don't know when, the girl named Mu Qing in front of him also made him panic and scared.

Thoughts stacked in Si Li's mind layer by layer, and time passed little by little between his fingers.

As if in a trance, the hour hand stopped at the number 8 in the clock at the top of the podium.

A man who looked like a senior walked to the classroom on time and began to hand out admission tickets.

Taking advantage of the fate of the similar student numbers, Si Li was able to go to the stage with Mu Qing one after another to receive the admission ticket. Just as the senior handed the admission ticket to Mu Qing, Si Li couldn't help but stretch out his head and look at it.

"Hey, what are you doing with this classmate?" The senior saw that a boy behind the girl was peeking at something with bad intentions, and immediately stopped it.

"I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'm sorry." Sili quickly explained.

Mu Qing looked at Si Li behind her and walked down without saying a word.

Mu Qing's every move was different from the past. This exacerbated Si Li's concerns.

"It's yours, take it!" The senior interrupted Si Li's thoughts very majestically and handed him the admission ticket. After Si Li took the admission ticket, he smiled awkwardly and returned to his place.

Fortunately, Si Li just stole Mu Qing's examination room information. Returning to his seat, he looked at his examination room and said to himself, "Just one place." ”

Si Li and Mu Qing were both taking exams in Building 2, she was in room 203, and he was in room 208.

After all the admission tickets were issued, the students began to pack their things and go to the examination room. Si Li found that Mu Qing was still sullen, not like the kind of nervousness before the exam. What's even more strange is that Xiao Mu, who is usually inseparable from her, also left alone.

Seeing that Mu Qing had also packed up and was about to get up and leave, Si Li quickly got up and chased after her.

"Which exam room are you in?" Si Li "asked knowingly", but he was not embarrassed at all.

Mu Qing just glanced at him, didn't speak, and walked on her own.

"What's wrong? Is it necessary to take this exam so seriously? Silly began to feel embarrassed.

Mu Qing still didn't pay attention to him.

"I'll admit I just saw you take the exam in Building 2, I'm at 208, not close." Sili was even more embarrassed.

"Is there something wrong?" Mu Qing stopped, turned around and asked.

"I didn't ...... Didn't ......" Si Li scratched her head, embarrassed enough to find a crack to get into.

Mu Qing didn't answer, and hurried to the road again.

"I think you're too abnormal today." Although it was a very embarrassing Si Li, he still said what was in his heart.

"Oh." Mu Qing stopped again, but just stood still.

"What's wrong? What happened? It's rare to see you happy after that day. Si Li walked around from behind him, looked at Mu Qing and said.

Now Mu Qing, a sad temperament can be seen on her face, her eyes are blank and red and swollen.

"Who are you?" Mu Qing suddenly stopped again, and compared to the first time, she just turned her back to Si Li and asked.

"I ...... I'm your classmate...... I...... Still ...... heart," Si Li was stunned by this question.

"Thanks, I'm fine! I'm going to take the exam, so if you have anything else to do, just wait until the exam is over. Without waiting for Si Li to finish speaking, Mu Qing took out a paper and wiped her eyes as she spoke.

"I can help ......," Sili quickly explained.

"No, don't follow me, thank you!" Mu Qing once again did not allow Sili to finish speaking, and unceremoniously threw down such a sentence and walked past Sili.

On the school road, only Si Li was left standing there stunned. Not far away, Mu Qing walked farther and farther. That back made Si Li worry more and more worried.

At this time, Xiao Mu appeared in his field of vision. I saw that she was running towards Si Li.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing here? Sili stopped her and asked with concern.

"I forgot to bring my ID and just went back to the dorm to get it. It really killed me. Xiao Mu gasped and explained. After speaking, she was ready to continue walking towards the examination room. Sili grabbed her. This enough strength and inopportune action made Xiao Mu a little angry, and asked, "What are you going to do?" It's time for the exam. ”

"What's wrong with your dorm boss today?" Si Li's eyes widened, staring at Xiao Mu, expressing her doubts in an extremely serious tone.

"I had a fight with my boyfriend. Last night's incident, there was a big quarrel. I think ......" Xiao Mu, who was just about to continue, suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something wrong, covered his mouth with his hand, and added vaguely: "I didn't say anything, don't ask so much." Then, she broke free of Si Li's grip and ran to the examination room.

Now, in the hurried crowd and under the tall teaching building, Si Li was stunned as if he had been numbed by the thunder of a sunny day. In his mind, he guessed the reason for Mu Qing's quarrel as quickly as a computer. In this state, it was not until the first preparation bell of the exam rang that he retracted his soul and hurried to the examination room.

The morning exam ended quickly, so fast that he couldn't finish the questions, probably because the thoughts in his mind delayed the speed of doing the questions.

The teacher's movements were very slow, and he had to look out the window and wait.

Classroom 203 is on the first floor of Building 2 and 208 is on the second floor. Looking down from upstairs, I happen to be able to see everything in classroom 203.

The students there are also waiting. Vaguely, he also found Mu Qing near the window.

The only difference in the state of Yu when he was in the preparation room just now was his movements. Because of the reason for the rewinding and stopping the pen, Mu Qing placed her hands on the table and looked straight ahead. When the teacher walks in front of him, he will give him a smile as he has done as he has done in the past. But today it was as calm as water, allowing the test papers to be taken away.

When the examination room was released, Si Li suddenly had an inexplicable impulse: he wanted to rush down and go in front of Mu Qing. Even if she is blamed by this girl, she just wants to see her.

But contrary to expectations, she was no longer in the classroom of 203. After searching around, he found the familiar figure at the end of the distant school road. Fortunately, there is a familiar figure next to it.

I don't want to chase deeply, I can only watch from afar. You may be able to guess one of them, but you don't dare to say for sure.

It seems that the feelings have risen, but the time is not right and not ripe.

Probably, the prodigal son really met the man who turned him back.

At 3 p.m., the second JAE exam began.

Compared to the morning exam, the afternoon exam has a lot more free time. There are more than 20 minutes left before the end of the test.

The same two people, the same scenery, and even each other's state of mind are almost the same as before.

Si Li still didn't change his carelessness, pushed the test paper to the corner of the table, and looked at the person in the distance through the window alone. The invigilator found that he was not in the same posture as someone else, and since there was no suspicion of cheating, he even went with him. Maybe it's because the teachers are used to seeing such infatuated scenes and such ignorant youth.

And the girl who became the scenery is still doing her best to solve the problem. Sometimes I hold my chin and think for a moment, sometimes I anxiously scribble on the scratch paper, and occasionally I brush the fine hair that falls in front of me. She didn't notice anyone staring at her.

For the sake of fairness, the school only allows the paper to be handed in 10 minutes in advance. This puzzling picture also ended at this time. After hurriedly dropping the test paper on the podium, he walked out of the examination room quickly.

Since everyone attaches great importance to this exam, there are very few people who submit their papers in advance, so there are less than twenty or thirty people like him standing outside the teaching building.

But it was in this crowd that he found Xiao Mu's figure.

"Why did you come out too?" Silly walked over and whispered beside him.

This sudden voice really startled Xiao Mu, who was looking at classroom 203: "Why are you so quiet?" Brain broken? The words were full of anger and complaint, but they were not mixed with the emotions of the previous faux pas, as if it had become a thing of the past, a past that no one wanted to mention.

"I'm afraid that the loud voice will affect our hard-working classmates. Just kidding. Sili replied with a smile, then cut to the chase: "What are you doing here?" Didn't you take the exam in School Building 3? ”

Sister Qing said that she was too tired to review these days. I want to take a break after the exam. It happened to happen again last night, so I thought about going out with her, so I handed in the papers in advance. Xiao Mu's mood was a lot more relaxed.

For such ideas and plans, Si Li frowned, thought for a while, and then put forward his opinion: "Why don't you go here?" He pulled out his phone, clicked on the navigation app and marked a location.

"This? Will it work? Is there anything nice about that? Or ......" Xiao Mu, who doesn't like to go out much, issued a series of questions.

However, in response to these questions, Sili can't answer a reason. A small pond of clear water, a small pavilion to listen to the rain, and the grass swaying in the wind and countless wild flowers in the green bushes. All in all, this place can be imagined from the photos and rumors as a paradise on earth, a place worth relaxing when you are in a bad mood. He hadn't been there, but he was there as usual. And Mu Qing may not miss such a good place, and may have been there many times. You may be tired of seeing the same scenery, but the mood there is always comforting.

Such an idea resonated with Xiao Mu. It was not hard to tell from the expectant look in her eyes that she had never been there either.

Xiao Mu was immersed in the conception of the beautiful scenery. At this time, the bell rang for the end of the exam, and Si Li casually made up an excuse to escape.

On the way back, he was absent-minded, and he didn't even notice that Wu Di was calling him many times.

Wu Di had to punch his brother in the shoulder to show his presence.

"Boss? When were you here? I didn't even pay attention. Si Li, who turned around, looked embarrassed. Then, Si Li, who wanted to say something, looked at the man in front of him who was pretending to be more casual than him, and the scum was clearly visible, and he didn't mean to say anything to him. It is true that Wu Di's current dress is really impressive. On such an important day, on such a serious battlefield, he was wearing clothes like pajamas. Because the revision was too hard, the hair had spread wildly to cover both ears. Even more out of place was the mottled water bottle in his hand. The bottle is made of steel, and the outer layer of patent leather is broken to tell the story of the owner. This kind of behavior has to make people think deeply about the estrangement that is not often seen between them and their peers. It seems that he is already not confused, and he is still a teenager.

"What did you just say to Xiao Mu?" Seeing that his brother wanted to speak and stopped, Wu Di knew that he had something on his mind, and estimated that this matter was related to Xiao Mu and Mu Qing.

Si Li, who was recognized, just smiled bitterly and continued walking with his head down. Wu Di, who failed to get the answer as he wished, could only follow closely.

It wasn't until the two of them walked to the door of the dormitory building that Wu Di came up with such a sentence: "Mu Qing has handed in the application form for exchange students." ”

It seems so inappropriate to be at this time. But it's so natural. Mu Qing can defeat countless competitors just by relying on the outstanding Communist Youth League awards in the summer practice, not to mention that she is not lagging behind in terms of academic performance. In fact, this exchange student quota has long been in her pocket. At the starting point, she was too far ahead.

"Oh! I know. Si Li's understatement couldn't hide the inexplicable feelings in his heart. Boss, you go back first. I'm going to buy something. He made an excuse and left Wu Di behind.

And Wu Di also looked at his brother's back with interest, showing an inconspicuous smile.

As the saying goes, when the prodigal son sails, there will always be a time when the waves are monstrous. If it doesn't look back, it needs to be attacked.

And Si Li, the prodigal son, has now also encountered Mu Qing's big wave.

In the past, he always asked those brothers who were in love early, how did it feel to like it?

Is it the same as the love of the little sister? Crying and laughing, warm and ordinary bring comfort and happiness?

Now, he knows. In addition to that sense of protection and naughtiness, there is also a sense of longing and a hint of selfishness.

But for Mu Qing, it is impossible to tell whether she likes it or not. Maybe it's just out of the expectation between classmates and friends, hoping that she will be happy, expecting her to smile, and expecting her to be able to jump and jump every day.

It was time for him to make a choice, because it wasn't long before he really liked this girl.

However, can you get it if you like it? Does he really deserve her?

These problems, which should be solved, also need quick solutions and correct solutions.

And the so-called choice may be reflected in Mu Qing's going abroad as an exchange student. Whether to support her to go abroad or stay, he should not make a decision for her, but he can guide her to make a choice.

Among them, there is one point that deserves recognition and attention. If Mu Qingru goes abroad, he will gradually fade and forget this feeling of being friends because of the distance.

Supporting her to go abroad means choosing to give up, and I don't know why I want to keep her?

At the fork in the road, on one side is the bird-scented but endless path, while on the other side is the familiar and dreary way home.

At this intersection, a prodigal son fell.

The prodigal son was young and affectionate, mature and worried.

Coincidentally, in the distance, Mu Qing was embarking on the road of travel.

After that, the back disappears as far as the eye can see.
