The excitement of the new semester is like a red glow, enveloping the hearts of first-year high school students. These half-grown children maintain a keen sense of new things. The newly assigned English teacher who graduated from Normal University spoke fluent and authentic English, which attracted the attention of many students at the beginning, and they were determined to practice English hard.

"That, Liu Zhixi, we're going to read English in the morning, do you want to join us?" During the recess, Zeng Xiao eagerly asked Liu Zhixi, who was reading an idle book.

"Where?" She was immersed in Heathcliff's revenge and replied nonchalantly.

"I arrive at school at 6 a.m. every morning, practice an hour of English conversation, go to breakfast, and then memorize words for half an hour."

"Not interested!" Her heart was being held tightly by Emily Brontë.

The bell rang like a monotonous cicada, and the English teacher walked into the classroom on time in a suit and skirt and high heels. She brought the news that Tachibana Middle School was going to select high school students to take the English proficiency test, and as soon as the English teacher's voice fell, the students in the audience let out a small exclamation. She made a gesture to signal quiet, and then announced that the students who scored full marks in the grammar test last week would participate in the competition directly, and the top eight students in the grammar test class this week would be selected, a total of ten students would represent the class to participate in the city's selection.

"Here are the two students who scored the perfect score last week! Well! Su Huai, Liu Zhixi! The English teacher looked at them with a smile.

At 5 o'clock in the morning in autumn, the sky was not bright, and as soon as Liu Zhixi woke up, her grandmother was already busy with breakfast in the kitchen. The familiar egg noodles, Liu Zhixi smelled the fragrance, and the gluttonous worms in her stomach wriggled. The dim light shone on her grandmother's gray hair, and her grandmother was in good spirits, which was the happiest thing for Liu Zhixi.

The two bowls of egg noodles on the table, Liu Zhixi's bowl had two golden fried eggs, but grandma's bowl only had a few cloves of oil and a few slices of cabbage. "I'm old and eat eggs with high cholesterol." Grandma prevaricates like this every time.

Descending the stairs, a few roosters crowing early, a retired woman raised chickens and ducks in this slightly remote community, the community has no property management, and the chickens and ducks are foraging for food in the community.

Walking to the door of the community, Zeng Xiao was already waiting. Liu Zhixi, Zeng Xiao and Su Huai agreed to read together in the morning, at half past five in the morning in autumn, the sky was not yet bright, and there were few vehicles and pedestrians on the street, Zeng Xiao said that his home was close to Liu Zhixi's home, so he offered to walk with Liu Zhixi, not only as a companion, but also by the way to practice speaking.

"Stupid!" After the English workbook was sent, Liu Zhixi couldn't help but pat Zeng Xiao's head with the homework book. "This is an emphatic sentence, not a definite clause, I've told you so many times, use that, don't use which!"

Zeng Xiao touched her head in pain while looking for Su Huai for help. Su Huai put down the physics Olympiad book in his hand, revealing a side face, the sun was shining obliquely on his clean and handsome face, Liu Zhixi even saw the slight hairiness on his face shining with golden light, the silhouette was handsome and distinct, his eyes were clear and clear, not mixed with a trace of impurities, his lips were full, and he looked even more kind and friendly when he smiled lightly. Liu Zhixi was a little stunned, until she heard him say in a nice and deep voice: "Let me tell you a trick, if a sentence can still be connected into a complete sentence after removing it's and that, it is an emphatic sentence." ”

"If I remove those irrelevant things from between me and you, can we connect them into a sentence that explains the youth that I once thought about, and the past that we can't go back?" Many years later, when Liu Zhixi recalled this picture, the voice in her heart said the same.

The English proficiency test competition was set up in the city No. 1 middle school, and Liu Zhixi and Su Huai took the school bus to the No. 1 middle school. Zeng Xiao was not qualified to participate in the competition because his results did not meet the standard.

The school bus went all the way, and the scenery of the small town quickly regressed one by one, and before they could see it clearly, they had already gone away quickly. The atmosphere on the bus was a little dull, and the teacher who led the team led everyone to sing songs in order to ease the atmosphere. Liu Zhixi suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen, and fine beads of sweat climbed up her forehead.

"What's wrong?" Su Huai noticed her strangeness and asked politely and with concern. Liu Zhixi's face was pale, and her lips were bloodless. Su Huai guessed a few points, but fortunately, the school bus had arrived at the city's No. 1 Middle School. He casually took off his school uniform jacket, slung her around his waist, and carried her to the bathroom, then walked away as if he remembered something.

A few minutes later, Su Huai returned, followed by a girl. The girl glanced around, and quietly handed the sanitary napkin to Liu Zhixi, Liu Zhixi raised her eyes, and what fell into her eyes was the beautiful girl sitting on the back seat of his bicycle when she met Su Huai for the first time.

In the examination room, Liu Zhixi held the hot water that Su Huai had made for her, and the chill in her heart dissipated little by little. On a cool autumn day, there is a touch of warm sunlight pouring into her heart, quietly growing a kumquat, gathering all the energy and carrying all the eyes, but it is a secret that belongs to her alone.

When the depression of winter swallows up the aftermath of autumn, the small town is lit up to welcome the New Year, and major shopping malls have launched year-end specials. Liu Zhixi stood at the bus stop wearing a long white down jacket and a refreshing ponytail on her hair.

Liu Zhixi's class has a new class teacher, who also serves as an English teacher. The new head teacher, everyone calls him "Lao Lei", in fact, he is not surnamed Lei, but because he is helpful and courageous, so everyone affectionately calls him "Living Lei Feng", and over time, it has evolved into "Lao Lei". Lao Lei is in his forties, he is not good-looking, dark and thin, loves to smoke, and his teeth are yellow and black. He was dressed modestly, and he heard that most of his salary was used to support poor students. Everyone doesn't know much about his private life, but vaguely understands that he is divorced from his wife.

Liu Zhixi just came back from school and took the final result notice, and she scored 818 points out of 900 points, which is not bad, ranking third in the class and 26th in the whole grade. She happily told her grandmother the good news, and her grandmother's voice on the other end of the phone sounded particularly pleasant, and she imagined that her grandmother's ravine-ravine face instantly converged and filled the valley.

Zeng Xiao and Su Huai asked her to go ice skating in the city together, she had never been to the ice rink, but she was eager to try. While waiting for the bus at the bus stop, the snow fell one after another, covering her long black eyelashes, making her clear eyes more like a pool of spring water. She didn't bring an umbrella, so Su Huai tilted the umbrella cover above her head towards her.

He was wearing a black trench coat, and the jade trees were in the wind, and the little girls who came and went looked back from time to time. Her cheeks were red from the cold, or for some other reason, she felt like her face was hot. I don't know if it's because the snow has melted, but the fog in her eyes is thicker, and she is about to burst into tears. She held her breath, as if she was not careful, such sweetness would be taken away by her snort, and the hands she put in her pockets secretly suppressed the panicked joy in her heart.

"Hey!" Liu Zhixi heard a sweet voice, and a slender figure appeared in sight, it was her.

"Lin Sujin!" The tall figure beside him called softly.

Liu Zhixi reluctantly ended her thoughts, and she suddenly remembered the British writer Thomas Hardy's "Tess", the heroine said before being arrested: "Happy times will not last long".

It was Su Huai who invited Lin Sujin, Lin Sujin was very lively in front of Su Huai, chattering all the way, a pair of big eyes were smart and smooth, as if he wanted to see people thoroughly at a glance, and like a rippling well, soft and charming. She looked at Liu Zhixi without scruples, but there was no arrogance and contempt in her eyes.

The ice rink in the city was dimly lit, and after changing her skates, Liu Zhixi barely stood by holding on to the mottled wall. Zeng Xiao has been holding her hand and teaching her from the most basic movements. She was the most stupid student, and after studying for a long time, she still didn't have the courage to take the first step.

Su Huai led Lin Sujin around the venue, free and happy. When passing by Liu Zhixi's side, Su Huai grabbed her, she was forced to move forward, but she suddenly stabilized her center of gravity and slid quickly with Su Huai's help. One, two, three laps, they galloped to their heart's content, like a spinning top spinning at high speed that did not know tiredness, and like a wild horse that broke through the shackles galloped and laughed.

Liu Zhixi changed her posture from time to time under Su Huai's guidance, and the lights in the field fell on them in accordance with the situation, and she closed her eyes with peace of mind, feeling that she was soaring happily.

Yes, the green years, just because of you, and full of joy, monotonous years, only because of you, and the stars are bright.

When I came out of the skating rink, the sky was getting darker, but the snow had not stopped, and the whole world was still pure white, and all the stains were buried, but they would grow in the dark next spring. Liu Zhixi felt that her heart was inexplicably inexplicably expanded, but she was trapped in an indescribable emptiness, her heart was throbbing and beating in her chest, she didn't dare to speak, she was afraid that her heart would jump out, and people could see through her heart at a glance.

Lin Sujin's waist-length hair was elegantly draped over her shoulders, even though she was very noisy when skating just now, she looked like a lady at the moment. The cold wind was blowing in his face, and Lin Sujin couldn't help but wrap his scarf tightly.

At the beginning of the city lights and neon, Su Huai actually proposed to have a drink. The four-and-a-half-year-old child decided to go to the Qing Bar in West Lake Park. In a dark environment, blurry lights, and a quiet stage, four high school freshmen sat by the window, raising and drinking beers one after another, chatting and chatting happily.

After drinking a glass of wine again, Zeng Xiao launched another attack on Su Huai, Su Huai was obviously not strong enough to drink, his face was already red, and he waved his hand again and again. With the strength of the wine, Zeng Xiao asked maliciously: "It's okay not to drink, then you, you can talk about it", his tongue has already begun to spin, "Who do you want to spend the rest of your life with the most?" ”

Lin Sujin sneered, his two thin lips were slightly hooked, his cheeks were dyed red, and his watery eyes were extremely bright. Liu Zhixi couldn't help laughing, she didn't know how to make fun, but she clearly felt a blazing gaze quietly falling on her. She raised her glass and said happily, "If only we could do this forever!" ”

"Definitely, we are friends forever!" The four of them shouted in unison, causing others to look sideways frequently.

Youth is like this, with the publicity of no one else, the courage to have no scruples, and the stupidity that thinks it will last for a long time.

Silent snowy night, with no moon in the sky, groggy and gloomy. Maybe the wind was too cold, Liu Zhixi's face was flushed, stepping on the fine stones under her feet, and the slight dull feeling transmitted from the soles of her feet to her heart, but it gave her solid stability. When he was about to go out, Zeng Xiao was already drunk and dizzy, got into a taxi, and hurried home. Lin Sujin met an old classmate at the door of the hotel and was parried by a group of girls to go to the movies. Only Su Huai and Liu Zhixi remained.

A white snowflake fell on the tip of Liu Zhixi's hair, like a light butterfly, resting among the fragrant flowers. She raised her head and looked at the endless night sky, her eyes were like a net, netting the secret words of the night, and the thick night was reflected in her eyes, deep and endless, but always revealing kindness and purity. Su Huai looked at her side face, her facial features were three-dimensional, although she was not a country and a city, but she had her own charm and style.

Feeling Su Huai's gaze, Liu Zhixi smiled back unintentionally, Su Huai was stunned at a loss, and when he came back to his senses, he cast his eyes into the distance in embarrassment, but his heart was anxious, as if Liu Zhixi in front of him was a luminous body, which made people have to pay attention. Yes, she is a luminous body, and tonight, Su Huai seems to have seen the colorful starlight in the sky.

"Do you like snow?" As if to break the embarrassment, Liu Zhixi asked softly.

"Ah, I like it." Su Huai's heart seemed to have a clear spring flowing through, and that gentleness had been soaked into the depths of his soul. His voice returned to its usual calm and naturalness.

"The snow is so white and so clean, it makes people have to have beautiful longing and reverie. However, it is so domineering and domineering that it covers everything else without saying anything. She said thoughtfully, her voice soft, a bit like a wounded little beast. Su Huai couldn't help but look back at her seriously. She didn't look directly at him in front of her, and her watery eyes seemed to be full of tears, looking blurry and distant under the flickering lights.

"I miss you." She spoke to herself, her voice so soft that it seemed like she was talking to herself.

As we walked through the dilapidated park, the wind became stronger, causing the weeds on the side of the road to make some terrible "rustling" sounds. I don't know if it was because of the cold or fear, Su Huai pulled Liu Zhixi all the way, the wind blew on his face and hurt, but his heart was overflowing with honey. Su Huai's hand was very strong, the power from his fingers spread throughout his body through the skin and capillaries, his hand was also very warm, the slight friction ignited Wen Cun, and there was a raging flame burning in his heart, illuminating the confused and sad youth.

When they got downstairs, they still held each other's hands, and they didn't speak, but even the air was quiet and sweet. Looking at each other, time and space seem to lose their effect, freezing this quiet but destined different night.

The mobile phone in the bag vibrate, Liu Zhixi pulled out her hand at the right time, the faint fragrance was still in her hand, and she answered the call with a reluctant smile - a lightning bolt crossed the cloudy sky, and Liu Zhixi's sea of fate was in an uproar.
