Summer of 2017.

聒噪的蝉在高大茂密的栾树间不知疲倦的鸣叫，午后炽热太阳被树影切割出无数片碎芒，随着风跳跃进了焦棠的房间，散在她浅蓝色的床单上。

Jiao Tang listened to Xu Wei's songs with headphones in his ears, flipped through the biographies of celebrities in his hands, and tried to find a little inspiration from other people's lives to determine the direction of his life.

At the end of her first year of high school, she is about to enter her second year of high school, and she will officially choose subjects and classes at the beginning of the semester. It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be discussed with her parents, Jiao Tang's mother died unexpectedly when she was ten years old, and her father's thoughts were on her half-sister Jiao Sichun.

Jiao Sichun is one year younger than Jiao Tang, and she just finished the high school entrance examination, with a total score of 660, and she scored 80 points. This grade can't go to high school in China, and her father and stepmother want to send her to study abroad, but Jiao Sichun is reluctant to go, and the family has been arguing recently.

The phone dinged, and a text message came in, and Jiao Tang flipped over the phone screen to see the message of Jing Siming at the same table.

Jing Siming: "Have you made a good choice?" Liberal Arts or Science? ”

Jiao Tang didn't know what to choose, she was very confused, she held her mobile phone and lay on the bed and typed on the screen: "What do you choose?" ”

Jiao Tang didn't have a special liking or resistance. She is not biased, and her grades in each subject are about the same, which is mediocre. She performed exceptionally well in the high school entrance examination, stepped on the score line and entered a key high school, and is now at the end of the crane in the ordinary class of a key high school.

Jing Siming: "I prefer liberal arts, but if you want to choose science, I will choose science with you." Our grades are about the same, and we should still be able to sit at the same table in the same class. ”

There was a loud bang next door, as if something had been broken, and then Xu Yuan's sharp voice resounded throughout the house, "You dare to go out of this door and try it!" When do you still have the heart to chase stars, how many English words have you memorized? Jiao Sichun, do you still want to go abroad? Do you still want to go to college? ”

Jiao Tang took off his headphones, sat cross-legged on the bed, and heard Jiao Sichun's pleading voice outside.

"Just this time, I won't chase it anymore after watching it. It was not easy for them to go on stage last time, and finally there was such an opportunity, and we fans must go and support them......"

"You're still going to support others? Do you still have a field yourself? You don't have any school anymore, don't you feel ashamed of getting 80 points in the high school entrance examination? Do you have a brain? Your dad is more than just your daughter. Look at Jiao Tang, there is a plan and a purpose, why are people so smart, why are you so stupid? If you have half of her—"

"I knew you all liked Jiao Tang." Jiao Sichun raised his voice violently, and shouted angrily to overshadow Xu Yuan's voice, "She studies well, she is well-behaved, she is the daughter you all want!" I'm just a piece of shit, I can't study well and I can't get an IQ. Then you look for her to be your daughter! Let her go abroad—"

The crisp slap suddenly sounded, and Xu Yuan seemed to have hit Jiao Sichun.

Jiao Tang picked up the earphones and stuffed them back into her ears, turning up the sound to the maximum, hoping that the war would not affect her.

The door was slammed open, Jiao Tang looked up from the bed with his mobile phone, and a pile of books smashed head-on. She hurriedly raised her hand to block it, and the sharp A4 paper scratched her arm and brought up a string of blood beads.

came, and the anger was never absent.

"It's all for you! You go learn! My parents are yours, the money is yours, and this family is yours! Why are you so disgusting! Jiao Sichun was extremely angry, she grabbed the books and photo frames on the cabinet at the door and smashed them on Jiao Tang without hesitation, "Without you, I am an only daughter!" I don't have to compare myself to anyone! ”

Jiao Tang got up from the bed and jumped onto the bay window, taking the curtain to block the smashing things.

"Jiao Sichun!" There was a loud shout outside, and Jiao Haifeng said angrily, "What are you doing?" ”

Jiao Sichun's crazy movements stopped, and then she changed her face like a Sichuan opera actor in an instant, her beautiful big eyes were red, and big crystal full tears rolled out of her eyes, and she turned around and said aggrievedly, "Dad, do you all love your sister?" Don't love me anymore? I don't have good grades, I'm not as well-behaved as my sister, I'm not a smart kid, no matter how hard I try, is it useless? My sister mocked me, my mother beat me, and you scolded me, am I a superfluous person in this family? ”

"Who told you? Jiao Tang? Jiao Haifeng strode through the corridor to the door of Jiao Tang's room, glanced inside, and the anger spread on Jiao Tang, "I know that my sister didn't do well in the exam, what do you mean by this?" ”

"I didn't, I didn't say anything, I was in the room all the time." Jiao Tang defended, "Dad, can you-"

"Didn't you say that Chun Chun came to your room to take the initiative to find trouble? You don't mean anything good to your sister. Jiao Haifeng pulled Jiao Sichun to wipe away her tears, and looked at Jiao Tang coldly, "If you didn't have to ask for a mobile phone, could my sister ask for a mobile phone in the third year of junior high school?" She didn't buy a mobile phone, and her grades would not have dropped so quickly. ”

Jiao Tang stood on the cold marble bay window stone blown by the air conditioner, and the coolness rising from the soles of his feet rushed to his brain in white. The high school she was admitted to was a little far away from home and wanted to live in the school, so she asked Jiao Haifeng for a mobile phone, and Jiao Haifeng threw her the old mobile phone he didn't use.

After a week of searching for death and life, her grandmother bought her the latest Apple mobile phone, with the highest configuration. She came to Jiao Tang with her mobile phone every day to show off, and she became obsessed with showing off and showing off.

The nanny who stood at the door to watch the excitement and Xu Yuan who hugged Jiao Sichun, Xu Yuan is Jiao Sichun's biological mother, and Jiao Tang is the child of Jiao Haifeng's ex-wife. There is an inevitable competition between Jiao Tang and Jiao Sichun, Xu Yuan naturally protects his children and will not expose Jiao Sichun's lies in public.

Jiao Tang understood in the first year that she was under the fence and lived secretly. She avoided Jiao Sichun as much as possible, but she always avoided it.

"I go out and stay when I have nothing to do, I suffocate at home every day, and I have been scheming since I was a child." Jiao Haifeng grabbed Jiao Sichun and walked to the study, and the anger was spread to Jiao Tang, he had a lot of patience with Jiao Sichun.

Jiao Tang walked back to the bed, Xu Yuan took out a few pieces of money from his wallet and put them on the cabinet at the door, and said, "You go out to play, make more friends, watch movies and go to the playground, you don't have to study in the room every day." Your personality is too boring, and you have more contact with people. ”

Xu Yuan closed the door of her room.

Jiao Tang sneered, jumped out of bed, took the money, and put it neatly in his schoolbag.

She changed her clothes, and there was a quarrel outside, Xu Yuan took advantage of Jiao Sichun being coaxed to the study by Jiao Haifeng, and cleaned up Jiao Sichun's treasured celebrity peripherals and planned to throw them in the trash, but when she arrived at the door, she was found by Jiao Sichun, and Jiao Sichun was crying hysterically.

Jiao Tang leaned on the door panel, and when he heard Jiao Sichun slamming the door and leaving, Jiao Haifeng and Xu Yuan quarreled and chased them out together. There was no movement in the living room, so she went out with her schoolbag.

The nanny is cleaning up the mess in the living room, and there are celebrity posters all over the floor, and the flowers are green.

"Don't step on it, this is a pure baby." The nanny pointed to the side of the road and said, "You go that way." ”

Jiao Tang stopped and turned his head sideways to identify the content of the poster on the ground, the head was torn off, only half of his body was left, wearing pants with holes torn to the root of his thighs, and at the bottom of the poster was a gold pen signed with a toothy and clawed English NEO.

Jiao Tang put his schoolbag on his back and walked out the door.

In the scorching summer, the air was hot, and the wild dogs on the side of the road did not dare to go out, but Jiao Tang was driven out.

Jiao Tang walked out of the community and received a call from Jing Siming.

"Jiao Tangtang, what did you choose? Why don't you reply to my messages? ”

"Liberal Arts." Jiao Tang looked up at the dazzling sunlight from between the dense trees.

"You chose it for me?" Jing Siming laughed on the other end of the phone, "Then it's good that we can continue to sit at the same table." ”

"No, I have counted the academic qualifications of successful business tycoons in the past 20 years, and the proportion of liberal arts is high." Jiao Tang frowned, and suddenly thought of something, "Are you chasing stars?" Do you know NEO then? It seems to be a singer. ”

“NEO？ Is it Neo? Jing Siming read the sound of the whole word, "The lead singer of the Summer Band has been very popular recently, why are you paying attention to this?" ”

"Do they have any performances?"

"Yanshan Music Festival, tonight, I'm on my way to the past, do you want to go see it together? I have a ticket here. I thought you weren't interested in any of this, and I didn't dare invite you. ”

"Where? How much do tickets cost? ”

"In Yanshan New District, this music festival is very small, there are no big names, and several platforms give away tickets for free. I'm also grabbing a free ticket, it doesn't cost money, I'm going to pick you up? ”

"No need, you send me the address, I'll go over myself."

"Then I'll wait for you at the ticket gate."

Yanshan New District is very remote, Jiao Tang took an hour and a half of the subway and an hour of bus to get to the outside of Yanshan Music Square, blocked by layers of blue iron sheets, and heard music inside.

She made two great circles, turning between the blue iron sheets, and turned into a brand new white house, the music was deafening, and it seemed so close that she could not see the wicket. This piece is sealed with a tin sheet on one side, and the inside entrance is written on the other, and it is full of busy adults wearing work cards.

Jiao Tang opened WeChat and sent a message to Jing Siming, asking him to send a specific location, she was a little afraid to go in.

Jing Siming quickly sent the location over, Jiao Tang opened the map to check, a big car drove in, with a sharp whistle, Jiao Tang hurriedly walked to the side to make way. But the road was very narrow, the car followed her all the way to honk, and Jiao Tang was driven into the parking lot.

In the evening, the sunset was scorching, and there was not even a shade in the huge parking lot, and the earth was shining hot.

Jiao Tang's mobile phone screen was reflected by the sun and couldn't see anything clearly, she looked around, raised her hand to block the scorching sun in front of her, and turned into the alley next to her.

"Why can't you stay with me?" A girl asked, crying, "What don't you like about me?" I like you, I'm from-"

"I don't fall in love with someone uglier than me." The boy's voice was lazy and slow, "You're crying even uglier." ”

And boys who are more beautiful than girls?

Jiao Tang held the mobile phone and looked inside, and suddenly bumped into the young man's sight.

Under the setting sun, a tall and thin boy leaned lazily against a huge graffiti wall with a cigarette on his fingers, wearing a black fisherman, and his narrow and deep Danfeng eyes were picked, soaked in arrogance.

He is really good-looking, with gorgeous and stunning facial features, flamboyant and unruly, and his beauty is very impactful.

Jiao Tang had never seen such a good-looking person, so he was stunned.

The young man straightened up, his slender fingers flicked the cigarette ash, the cigarette ash fell melodiously, his chin raised condescendingly and stared at Jiao Tang, his tone was slow and reasonable, "You are also here to confess?" ”
