The night was gray, and when Chen Yuanzhi returned home, the house was pitch black, only the moonlight fell on the entrance of the door, and when it flickered, it was like a layer of fine dewdrops.

She went all the way back to the room, the schoolbag and the person threw themselves into the soft futon together, Chen Yuanzhi took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it, and heard his own violent heartbeat through the layers of stacked and intertwined down.

The mobile phone on the table suddenly sounded a brisk vibration sound, the light was turned on, covered by dim light and shadow, Chen Yuanzhi lay in the quilt, and the tips of his fingers moved slightly.

After a long time, the mobile phone was picked up from the table by a thin white hand, Chen Yuanzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the screen, and when the light turned on, his black eyes were dyed a light and clear brown.

In the interface, the man's planet is a pale gray-blue, and it hasn't been lit for many days.

At this moment, in the dim light, a bubble slowly bubbled up from the planet. The turquoise smoke was like a signal of spring, instantly clearing the mist and dust that enveloped the planet.

When Chen Yuanzhi reacted, her fingers had already taken a step ahead of her brain and clicked on the planet of ripples.

It was an unremarkable picture of the night, with a dark night sky and a painted railing on top of a swing in the park.

He didn't say a word, but Chen Yuanzhi looked at the picture and was once again taken back to everything that had just happened an hour ago.

......

In the park, the shadows of the trees are crowded, the dark dusk lights are scattered far away in the corners of the concrete floor, the wind is quiet, and only the old creaking of swing cables brews an indescribable atmosphere in the air.

Chen Yuanzhi followed Xu Linmiao to this park like a god, and at this time, the two of them sat on the swing in the park on one left and one right, and in front of them was an empty children's paradise climbing frame, and the bright colors attached to it were deposited in the night.

It's ridiculous.

In the time that followed, Chen Yuanzhi gradually woke up from the huge shock, and in his re-functioning brain, the obvious answer was already lying in the center.

At this moment, she was sitting next to Xu Linmiao, in addition to being embarrassed and embarrassed, she was also a little more dazed.

Those countless nights of happy conversation are still vivid, and the people around her are her mountains and rivers, her boys.

Chen Yuan knew that at the moment when the loneliness was deafening, he secretly thought about the person who understood him completely.

She also quietly hoped that Lian could really get out of the network and really walk into her barren life.

But when this moment really came in a way she never imagined, she was a little caught off guard. She wanted to deny it, but the accelerated beating in her chest was indeed a faint panic.

"Kiyoyuki."

Chen Yuanzhi reflexively responded: "Huh? ”

She didn't seem to expect that she would deserve it so quickly, and she was a little stunned. Xu Linmiao continued: "Have you already started reading the book I gave you?" ”

Chen Yuanzhi spoke, not stumbling as she expected, she replied very fluently and clearly: "Yes." I've seen chapter three. ”

Chen Yuanzhi didn't look sideways at him, only heard Xu Linmiao make a slightly raised tone, "It's only the third chapter?" ”

Chen Yuanzhi immediately explained: "The book was sent somewhere else, and then I asked someone to forward it to my home." My family is strict with me. ”

Xu Linmiao chuckled: "No wonder the address you filled in is not Chunshen City." ”

When Chen Yuanzhi heard this, he was slightly stunned.

Her heart pounded violently for a moment, then thump, thump, thump, thump.

Xu Linmiao continued: "You have already seen the third chapter—what do you think, apart from the paragraph I wrote to you, which is your favorite sentence in the book?" ”

The memory in her mind was like a pair of dexterous hands, turning the pages of the book, Chen Yuanzhi immediately thought of that sentence, and she blurted out:

"The stronger we are emotionally connected to someone, the more we interact with each other."

The voices of the boy and girl sounded almost at the same time, and then fell at the same time.

Chen Yuanzhi was stunned, she turned her head to look and found that Xu Linmiao was also looking at her.

The tails of his eyes are slightly upturned, and the folds are neither deep nor shallow, and when he laughs, he will appear so bright and dazzling that it is difficult to take his eyes off him, as if he were at this moment: "—I knew you would say that." ”

Chen Yuanzhi's heart, which had been beating rapidly, fell down quickly with a loud bang at that moment, and then was steadily caught by a pair of hands.

The wind slowly blew away the broken hair that had fallen on her forehead and sideburns.

Taking this sentence as a starting point, it was like a wonderful switch being suddenly turned on, and Chen Yuanzhi and Xu Linmiao began to talk with each other.

In the process, Chen Yuanzhi gradually recalled the events of the week when they were most eager to talk, sharing each other's book lists and movie lists, reading them day and night, and then giving criticism or praise;

She liked Mucha at that time, so he read nearly 400 pages of Mucha's life's works and personality compositions because of her recommendation, and finally was able to identify the specific age and ideological theme of one of Mucha's works even faster than her;

He was in love with Louis Pasteur at that time, so she went to the library of Chunshen City for three days to look through the literature about Pasteur, and the two of them disagreed at that time, arguing about how high Pasteur's status in the field of biology should be;

Many times in the middle of the night, they will occasionally talk about their ideals, goals, and life's desires, and how to become the person they want to be. The views and values of the two men towards the world converged in an endless dialogue and gradually became inseparable.

On winter nights, the wind blew the temperature thinner, but Chen Yuanzhi felt more and more warm all over his body, as if a long-lost snowman drank a cup of hot ginger tea that had not been seen for a long time.

Xu Linmiao's eyes crooked with a smile, "You said at that time that most of the characters in the play were simply completely 'static characters', and then the more you talked, the more angry you became, and the topic began to deviate, and I couldn't pull it back - so do you remember what you didn't finish that day?" ”

Of course Chen Yuanzhi remembers. That day, after Chen Yuanzhi watched a popular historical drama that was very popular at the time, he was half angry with several flat, rigid, and forcibly sensational tool characters in the play, so he turned his head and output all the power of the ripple.

It happened that she was reading drama theory at that time, so she tactfully ridiculed the so-called "historical drama" with the words in the book, and was deviated by the "hahaha" in Lian's reply without saying a few words.

Chen Yuanzhi touched his hair, "Actually, it's nothing...... It's just in response to the sentence in the book, 'When static characters appear in the play, the author is fully responsible; And when a static character appears in life, it can only be the responsibility of himself'. ”

Xu Linmiao held the rope of the swing and couldn't help laughing.

It was as if everything had been closed again with the day it had been.

She was still filled with righteous indignation, and the man's words after laughing dissipated all her indignant anger:

"Kiyoyuki, you can't ask everyone to have their own thoughts. It's something more precious than money. ”

Chen Yuanzhi was sure from that moment that Lian, who seemed to be smiling softly, not impatient, modest and polite, was even more arrogant and contemptuous than her in his bones.

At this moment, Chen Yuanzhi looked at Xu Linmiao, before she couldn't imagine what kind of existence such a ripple would be in reality, but now after seeing Xu Linmiao, all her doubts have been answered in the most complete and fitting way.

If that person is Xu Linhao from Dongjiang Middle School, then everything will be explained.

Chen Yuanzhi felt that reality and the online world overlapped at this moment, and he also felt that they were twin plants and trees with different roots and different waters between the world and the world, the same kind of people who cherished each other, and they were also the only confidants that were difficult to find in the vast sea of people.

Xu Linhao had already smiled, he looked at Chen Yuanzhi quietly, and suddenly said, "Are you happy now?" ”

Chen Yuanzhi was stunned by the question.

She didn't answer immediately, just raised her eyelashes, and her eyes touched Xu Linmiao through the two dangling chains.

Xu Linmiao didn't seem to need her reply, his voice was softer, sounding gentle as the wind, with a shallow smile: "Now, are you willing to tell me what happened to make you unhappy today?" ”

Chen Yuanzhi's hand holding the chain trembled slightly, she pursed her lips, looked at the land under her feet, and said, "Actually, it's nothing...... It's just a sudden outburst of emotions that have been building up for a long time. ”

She filtered through some of the irrelevant rhetoric and laid out everything that happened tonight.

After Xu Linmiao listened, he groaned and said, "Did you bring the test papers?" ”

Chen Yuanzhi was stunned, as if he didn't expect him to ask such a sentence: "...... Bring. ”

She took out the test paper that she had sketched out of her schoolbag, Xu Linmiao unfolded it in her hand, turned on the flashlight on the watch on her wrist, and the two of them looked at the test paper head to head on a silent park swing.

Xu Linmiao saw it quickly: "...... From my point of view, there are a lot of things that shouldn't be wrong. ”

Chen Yuanzhi covered his head: "...... Stop scolding. ”

Xu Linmiao smiled, "However, I don't think you need to be discouraged at all. ”

Chen Yuanzhi looked up at him, Xu Linmiao didn't continue, but turned his head and asked, "Qingzhi, what do you think is your problem?" ”

Chen Yuanzhi had thought about this question countless times tonight, so she said without thinking: "Inefficiency is low and the foundation is weak." ”

Xu Linmiao nodded, "It's basically true." If you look at the test paper, you can probably understand that you have a hard time learning functions, and your algebra foundation is not very good, which leads to your slow work at the beginning. If you don't have a good foundation in algebra, it's easy to get stuck in the operation process, even if you can learn the ideas rigidly, as long as you don't practice enough problems, you will be planted in the operation again and again. ”

"You've only been studying hard for a month, and you may not have been studying for a month – the results of your efforts won't be so fast."

"But Qingzhi, why I said you don't need to be discouraged is because the college entrance examination is a marathon. Two-thirds of the final exam paper of Dongjiang Middle School is out of functions, and many of the questions are some very remote knowledge points, and will the college entrance examination be so detailed? The answer is no. ”

"Your function may not be up to par, but if you look at it by the standards of the college entrance examination, it is definitely not bad."

"Qingzhi, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you're not as bad as you think."

Chen Yuanzhi looked at Xu Linmiao's side face, and she could clearly hear that the powerful beating sound in her chest was gradually becoming deafening.

She opened her lips, her throat somehow became a little dry, and her voice became tense, "-What if I am far from satisfied at this level?" ”

Xu Linmiao paused, and suddenly lowered his head and smiled, "Yes, I almost forgot, you said that you mean to be at the top." ”

Chen Yuanzhi listened to this familiar sentence, and her memory flew back to the distant golden autumn season, when she had not yet suffered the hardships of the struggle, and said something to Lian that was not high in the sky:

"I want to be in the best class in our school, that's my ultimate goal. I intend to be at the highest, and at last I am only in the middle, and I am better than the low aspirations. ”

Later, in the month when she endured all her hardships, where did she dare to think that she had been heroic and ambitious.

But looking at Xu Linmiao at this moment, the vision that had already been marked by her as "impossible" actually emerged again, ready to move, and it was difficult to stop.

In the end, who takes whose ignorance is taken seriously, and who knows that they can't do it.

Chen Yuanzhi's words slipped out of her mouth faster than her brain, and her face was full of embarrassment, "No, I mean ......"

"There's nothing bad about it, so come on."

Xu Linmiao smiled, the wind ruffled his broken hair, and he couldn't hide a pair of starry eyes, "If you have made up your mind, then I will help you." ”
