The two of us walked barefoot in the sea water, and with a tacit understanding, we walked farther and farther away from the teacher and classmates.
He held my hand, and I once again seemed to have been electrocuted by electricity, groggy, numb and sweet.
He said, "Aren't you going to ask me?"
"what?"
"Ask me why I stayed in the sea with Huang Wei for so long?"
"I don't want to ask because I can guess why."
I grimaced at him, mocking his luck. Even if I didn't understand it at first, I already guessed that Huang Wei likes him.
He yanked my hand and ran, laughing and running, until I couldn't run, and begged him for mercy, promising never to laugh at him again.
We are standing by the beach, we just think the sky is cute, the ground is cute, the sea is cute, anyway, there is nothing unlovable in what we see in our eyes, no matter he or I, just say a word, two people can be inexplicable and have nothing. Laughed and laughed for the reason.
That kind of silly happiness, pure and wonderful, can only bloom in the splendid and enthusiastic youth.
Zhang Jun said to me: "When the waves hit, let's jump up and see who can stay in the air for a long time, and when who can fall, avoid the waves."
"Hmm." I took off my glasses and hat and put them on the beach.
We jumped and fell and jumped and fell as the waves rolled at our feet and we laughed out loud.
The two of them were having a good time, and they were both wild people. If they didn’t care about their clothes, they would get soaked. .
After all, it was my first time in the sea, and I couldn't swim, so I started to get scared and wanted to retreat, but he grabbed me. "If the waves come, you can hold your breath, take a breath, pass a moment, the waves go away, and then breathe in again. I will always hold you and won't let you be swept away by the waves."
With him, the fear faded, and the adventure-seeking side of my nature was aroused. As he went deeper and deeper, the sea was already waist-level with me. When a wave came, I held my breath and closed my eyes. I felt a rumbling, and I seemed to be swept into the bottom of the water by the turbulent sea, and my body was impacted uncontrollably, with fear, fear, and excitement. He held me tightly, I held him tight, and at that moment, it seemed that all I had was him, and he was the backbone of my whole world.
After a while, the tide began to ebb, the water level dropped and my head was exposed again. I let out a long breath and coughed violently. After all, I was inexperienced, and I was still choked. His eyes were full of smiles, and he looked at me and laughed.
I was coughing, wiping my eyes, and wiping my hair, and I was able to spare time to give him a kick.
After resting, we held hands and began to prepare for the next wave.
In the vast blue waters, we became each other's only, and we laughed out loud and wanted to be happy in the ebb and flow of the tide.

Last day in Qingdao
How I wish that at that time, I could not be so inferior;
I wish I could be less proud then,
Although even then we may not be able to be together,
But at least we'd be a little happier then, and now you'll be a little more willing to reminisce about the past.
The days in Qingdao passed too fast, and it seemed that the last day had arrived in the blink of an eye.
On the last day, I took a simple marine knowledge test in the morning, went to visit the warship in the afternoon, and held a closing ceremony when I came back, and awarded the excellent camper certificate. Then, the summer camp officially ended.
He was about to leave Qingdao the next day, and Mr. Jia probably thought that he would return to his father's strict control, and strongly demanded to indulge at night. Zhang Jun and Zhen Gongzi went to buy three bottles of liquor, a box of beer, and a lot of snacks, and secretly carried them to the roof of the dormitory.
Zhang Jun's friends are naturally Mr. Zhen and Mr. Jia. I wanted to invite Lin Yiran and Shen Yuanzhe, but Zhang Jun actually disagreed. I asked him to give me a reason. He said that because Lin was still a good girl, he would definitely not be able to adapt. I said, but I live with Teacher Xing in the same room. If I go home alone late at night, the teacher will be suspicious, and the teacher will not think much about it if he is ranked first in our class. He weighed it and could only agree.
We took apart a few cardboard boxes, spread them out on the ground, and had two flashlights on, and we had a sneaky farewell party on the roof.
Zhang Jun and Zhen Gongzi are very skilled at smoking. It was the first time for Jia Gongzi to smoke. When he clumsily imitated Zhang Jun to blow smoke rings, Zhen Gongzi laughed wildly.
Zhang Jun brought me a can of beer, and I shook my head: "I don't drink."
"Never, or quit?"
"never."
He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect me to hang out with Xiaobo and them for so long, and he didn't even drink a drop of alcohol, and asked, "What about the cigarettes?"
"Occasionally smoke and play."
Zhang Jun brought me a cigarette. I held the cigarette, lowered my head, and lit it in front of his cigarette. When I looked up, I saw Shen Yuanzhe and Lin still staring at me in surprise, and I smiled at them.
Lin still doesn't smoke or drink. Holding a bag of Qingdao's specialty grilled dried fish, he looks at us half nervously and half curiously.
Zhang Jun taught Jia Gongzi to draw boxing. When Jia Gongzi lost, he immediately drank. It could be seen that he enjoyed the presumptuousness forbidden by his parents and teachers.
Zhen Gongzi thought it was boring to drink alone, so he pulled everyone to play and drive the train together, and the place name was decided by him.
He asked, "Who is Qingdao?"
Zhang Jun and I both rushed to say, "I will."
Everyone looked at us and laughed wildly. Later, Zhang Jun became Beijing, I became Qingdao, Lin was still Nanjing, Shen Yuanzhe was Shanghai...
If I lose, Zhang Jun will help me drink; if Lin still loses, Shen Yuanzhe will help her drink. After setting the rules, start playing.
"Drive, drive, drive, the train in Beijing has started."
"Where?"
"Nanjing."
At the beginning, I played decently, but gradually it became chaotic. Jia Gongzi was very light in drinking and was completely drunk. He insisted on pulling Lin Yiran's hand, saying that he had something on his mind to tell her, which scared Lin Yiran desperately to hide; Zhen Gongzi sat next to Lin Yiran and gave his hand to Jia Gongzi, Jia Gongzi He squeezed his hand in the palm of his hand, touched and touched, and cried while touching, "It's still..."
Lin still held back his laughter and blushed. Looking at Zhen Gongzi and Jia Gongzi, Zhen Gongzi smiled and kept making faces at her.
Shen Yuanzhe's drinking capacity is better than that of Zhen Gongzi, but one person drank for two, and he was completely drunk. On the other hand, he kept calling us, insisting that we see him. We all babbled and agreed, but actually ignored him.
Zhang Jun drank two people's wine alone, but he was only five or six points drunk. He and I were lying on the fence, looking out at the city's not-so-splendid lights, and the clamor behind us came one after another, but we were strangely silent.
The cigarette between his fingers, barely smoking, slowly burned to the end. Seeing that I was looking at him, he explained: "After the incident happened in the third day of junior high, I gave up all these things, and now it's time for friends to play together, just be good."
I nodded in understanding.
He sighed and said, "Xu Xiaobo is sincere to you."
"It used to be, but now we've broken up."
"I'm not in touch with my old friends anymore."
We all looked into the distance in silence. During those rebellious years, he was the lucky one, so why wasn't I
"I'm so happy," he said suddenly.
I looked sideways at him in surprise, and he said again, "I'm so happy."
I gradually understood what he meant and whispered, "Me too."
He grabbed my hand suddenly and shouted very loudly at the sky: "When we get married in the future, we will come to Qingdao for our honeymoon."
I let go, my face flushed red, fortunately, the guys in the back were all drunk and stupid, and those who weren't drunk and stupid thought we were drunk and stupid. After a long time, I made a very light, very soft "um", but he heard it immediately and smirked at me.
No matter how others view this city, it, in our hearts, is the most beautiful dream. We smiled and agreed that we will definitely come back. We all thought that as long as there was an agreement, we could keep that happiness forever.
We went home via Beijing. Because it was summer vacation, it was not easy to buy train tickets, especially sleeper tickets. Teacher Xing troubled Mr. Zhen to get the train tickets for everyone. When counting the number of people who bought sleeper tickets, several more students registered. In fact, I also have spare money on hand, but I have long wanted to buy a set of Lu Xun's complete works, so I gave up without thinking about it.
At the station, Zhang Jun was dragging his luggage with one hand and mine with the other. I was a little nervous, afraid that the teacher would find something different. Later, when I saw other boys helping girls with luggage, I was relieved.
There were a lot of people at the train station. Teacher Xing nodded nervously and shouted: "Follow me, don't get lost, follow me in the sleeper car, Zhang Jun is behind; follow Wang in the hard-seat car. Teacher, Shen Yuanzhe postponed."
I want to get my luggage back, Zhang Jun said, "Just follow me."
I looked at him puzzled, and Zhen Gongzi, who was walking in front, turned his head and said with a smile, "Zhang Jun has asked me to buy you a sleeper ticket."
A few classmates around who heard this all stared at me, and Huang Wei's eyes were even more undisguised with contempt. I suddenly felt very hurt. I had no money, but I was happy to sit on the hard seat. I grabbed my luggage and said, "Let go!"
Zhang Jun saw my face, hesitated for a while, and let go. I dragged my luggage and ran after Lin Yiren and Shen Yuanzhe with small steps.
Until I got on the train, I still felt my cheeks get hot and my hands were shaking.
After a while, Zhang Jun came in a hurry, greeted Lin still and sat next to me. I looked sideways at the outside of the carriage, motionless, and didn't speak.
Zhang Jun couldn't understand the humiliation I felt at that moment. In his opinion, he bought a sleeper ticket and wanted to surprise me so that I could sit more comfortably, so that the two of us would have more personal space. , but I was angry.
He lost his care for a long time. He said kind words and soft words again, begging me in a low voice to go to the sleeper car. I still kept my mouth shut, looked out the window, and didn't talk to him.
My indifference and his caution caught the attention of the classmates. Many classmates looked at him. He couldn't hold back his face, and finally got angry, ignored me, and went to the sleeper compartment by himself.
Lin still sat back beside me quietly, not daring to speak, just made me a cup of tea and put it on the table.
I stared at the passing trees outside the window, and began to be confused. This summer camp is really like a dream isolated from the mundane world. Is it when the train arrives at the station or when my dream wakes up? Is it really like Shelley said, "The flower that smiles today will wither tomorrow. Everything we want to stay will fly when it is tempting. What is the joy in this world, it is like the lightning that mocks the night, although Bright, but short-lived?"
The classmates around were playing cards, screaming for a while, laughing and scolding for a while. Because of the familiarity, the game was even more crazy and lively than when I came here, but I had a feeling of being in another space, full of the sadness of the feast.
Zhen Gongzi and Jia Gongzi were both playing cards here, but he... But he certainly wouldn't be lonely, and Huang Wei didn't come here either.
The twilight gradually swept the earth, and the scenery outside the car window began to blur. I was staring out of the window in a daze, and Zhang Jun's voice sounded beside me: "Don't be angry, this time I did something wrong."
I pressed my forehead against the glass window, ignoring him.
He said pitifully, "I have already exchanged the sleeper tickets with my classmates, and I will sit on the hard seat with you."
He carefully tugged at my clothes, and then carefully at my clothes: "Hey, do you really plan to never talk to me from now on? Then I will stick to you forever."
At first, my heart, which was extremely pessimistic and desperate, was beating gently and joyfully again. My face was still tense, but my voice was gentle: "You don't need to sit with me. Okay."
"No, you like to sit on the hard seat, I'll sit with you."
I said it many times, but he smiled and turned a deaf ear. A classmate over there asked us to play cards. He asked me if I wanted to go. I was greedy for the solitude of the two and shook my head.
Zhang Jun said: "You lie down and sleep for a while."
Because the classmates crowded together to play, our three-person seat only sat the two of us. According to the experience of taking the train for so many days, if a person sleeps on his side, he can barely sit alone in the gap.
I made a pillow out of a few books, took off my glasses, lay down, and tried my best to keep my legs against the back of the chair to give him more room to sit.
Although the classmates have been taking turns resting with each other for a long time, Zhang Jun is sitting next to each other, and the feeling is completely different. My heart is both sweet and nervous.
But he sat upright, listening to music with headphones on, and flipping through my book, my heart gradually calmed down, and I closed my eyes with a smile.
Because it was only after ten o'clock and the car was still very noisy, I was very sleepy, but it was difficult to fall asleep. Suddenly, I felt that Zhang Jun carefully pushed my hair away and put the earplugs in my ears. I didn't dare to move, and pretended to be asleep.
Zhang Jun should have selected the loop play button, so he kept playing a song repeatedly.
I rarely pay attention to the pop music world, and it is Cantonese. I don't understand what to sing. I just think it is very warm and beautiful, and it is very suitable for hypnosis.
When I woke up, I still heard the song of love in my ears.
Many years later, I have been able to speak Cantonese fluently. I heard this familiar melody on the radio in my friend's car, and only then did I know it was "I Love You" by Chen Baiqiang.
At that moment, when I bowed my head and listened quietly, the long time was shortened to the distance of a song, but when I looked up, I saw the blurred lights of Victoria Harbour.
It turned out to be an eternity.
Only, the singing of "I Love You" is the same as before.
After waking up, he looked at his watch. At three o'clock in the morning, there were still many classmates playing cards, laughing from time to time. Zhang Jun was lying on the table and dozing off.
I wanted to sit up, moved a bit, and he woke up immediately: "what's the matter?"
"I'm asleep, you lie down for a while too."
"I don't mind, you sleep with you."
"I really slept well. I can't fall asleep even if I force myself to sleep. I'll sleep again when I'm sleepy during the day."
I took the toiletries, brushed my teeth, washed my face, and combed my hair. Since I was with Zhang Jun, I unconsciously became less carefree and began to pay attention to my appearance.
After returning, Zhang Jun was already lying down and looked at me with a smile. I sat beside him, picked up the book, and watched quietly. Because I was afraid of disturbing him, I didn't dare to move, and my back hurt after a long time. , very uncomfortable, but the pain is infinitely sweet.
I put down the book and looked down at him. It's hard to believe that this person is lying within my reach. Every day I spend with him has an unreal feeling, I can't help laughing, I'm like a rich man, secretly looking at myself of wealth, one giggles.
I looked up inadvertently and found that Shen Yuanzhe was looking at me. I was very embarrassed and said, "Are you awake?"
He nodded, looked at his watch, and realized that it was almost six o'clock in the morning, so he decided to wash up, so that there would be no water when everyone got up later. The hard-seat carriages of that era were always running out of water, and they would not be able to wash themselves a little later.
When he came back from the wash, we chatted in a low voice. He talked about his sister Shen Yuansi. Shen Yuansi and Lin Lan went to the same school. Because the two went out of the same city, they became good friends. Shen Yuanzhe is obviously not a person who is good at disseminating other people's information. Under my questioning, he only briefly said something about Lin Lan.
The two were talking in a low voice. Zhang Jun woke up. He sat up and said in a daze, "I'm so thirsty."
I hurriedly handed the water glass to him, but he refused to take it himself. With half-closed eyes, he took a few sips of water with my hand, still looking sleepy.
"If you're tired, sleep a little longer."
He shook his head again.
"Then go brush your teeth and wash your face, or you'll run out of water later."
"Come with me."
Zhang Jun, who had just woken up, looked like a child, I made a helpless expression to Shen Yuanzhe, helped the eldest young master hold the toiletries, and served him to wash up.
When we came back, Shen Yuanzhe had already changed seats with someone else and was having breakfast with another classmate.
Zhang Jun took off his backpack and began to take out large and small bags from the bag, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
I looked at the table full of snacks in horror and shook my head.
"Then let's go to the dining car for breakfast," he said.
"If you want to eat, I'll accompany you. I don't like meat and starch on the train. I only like fruit, so you don't have to worry about me."
Zhang Jun looked very discouraged: "Luo Qiqi, do you know that it is difficult for you to please?"
I asked inexplicably: "Why do you want to please me? You don't need to please me at all."
He cut another apple for me. I wasn't hungry, but I couldn't help but eat it. After eating, I felt sick in my stomach, so I couldn't tell him, I just said that I was a little tired and leaned on the chair to sleep.
The car gradually became lively, and I heard Zhen Gongzi and the others' voices: "Playing cards and playing cards, classmates, let's hurry up and revel in the last time, Zhang Jun, come here."
"You guys play, I can read books."
Zhang Jun has been sitting still, it is rare that a person like him who likes to lively is willing to quiet down for me, and I am filled with fear.
I opened my eyes: "I want to drink some hot water."
He was very happy and seemed to enjoy taking care of me. He immediately fetched a cup of hot water for me. I slowly drank the cup of hot water and felt a little better in my stomach.
A classmate who lost the card stood on his seat and shouted to the whole car, "I'm a pig!"
The whole car burst into laughter.
No matter when we come or go, there is always a lot more happiness in the carriage with our group of people. Youth is really a good thing.
I smiled and said, "Let's go play cards too!"
Zhang Jun nodded with a smile.
A group of people were playing together, and the time went by so fast that it was already night after playing for a long time. Thinking of getting off the bus early in the morning, I don't feel sleepy at all, I just want time to stop at this moment forever.
Zhang Jun seems to have a similar idea. Later, he refused to play anything, just talk to me.
It was getting dark, the classmates next to me were playing cards, the classmates opposite were sleeping, and only the two of us were whispering. We didn't talk about any serious business, we were just talking nonsense. At first he pretended to show me his palmistry and talked nonsense about career and love lines. Later, I remembered that Zhao Rong from class (8) bought a horoscope book. , borrowed it immediately, and flipped through the study.
I am Libra, he is Taurus, at the strong request of Zhang Jun, look at me first.
