For students who are immersed in exam papers every day and live in the dormitory, cafeteria, and classrooms, there are no festivals that are particularly worthy of attention throughout the year, only holidays are the most meaningful.
The students in the attached high school counted their days by weekly exams and monthly exams and large-scale events. When they saw the sports meeting, they knew that it was November, and when they saw the art festival, they knew that the year was coming to an end.
Shengwang has not yet formed such a conditioned reflex.
He lay on Jiang Tian's bed and slept in a deep sleep. It wasn't until the sun shone on his face that he stumbled across his mobile phone and found that December 31 was written on the screen.
"Are you up?" Jiang Tian asked.
"No." Sheng Wang dropped the phone. The bed was terribly narrow, and it was even more crowded for two big boys. It was difficult for him to turn over, hug Jiang Tian with his hands and feet like a pillow, and said lazily, "Tomorrow is actually New Year's Day."
He closed his eyes and half buried in the quilt, not knowing if he simply didn't want to move, or if he planned to sleep for a while. Jiang Tian resigned himself to the pillow, his left hand was actually a little numb, but it was already numb anyway, so he didn't plan to say a word.
"What happened to New Year's Day?" he asked.
Sheng Wang seemed to be falling asleep again, and after a while, he replied, "It's nothing, I'm very emotional. I feel that this half year is very long, longer than the ten years I've put together before."
"Is there?" Jiang Tian also closed his eyes, he was already very awake, but he was a little sleepy by the voice of the person next to him.
Sheng Wang said, "Maybe I don't remember anything before."
What he did every day and who he met, big and small, he always turned his head and forgot. Spring, summer, autumn and winter all change quickly, as if brushing papers, taking a few naps between classes, and then having a few dazes, the time just passed.
"It's different now, remember the big things clearly."
"why?"
Because he wanted to remember a little more, how he met, how he liked, and how they got together... He didn't know why he remembered these things, he just felt like a money fanatic with his arms around a pile of gold and silver. Can't lose. Anything less is a big loss.
He has never understood those who eat, drink, sleep, and take pictures to commemorate everything. He thinks it is too sour. Now I suddenly understand a little bit.
But this is a bit hypocritical, and he can't say it even if he is given ten faces. So he replied to Jiang Tian: "I don't know, maybe adolescence has developed for the second time, with a good brain and strong memory."
Jiang Tian was probably taken aback by him, he held back for a long time without holding back, and sneered short and meanly.
"Are you mocking me?" Sheng Wang raised his face from the bed, he was a little hot, his hair was messy, and he stared at his brother.
The other party didn't open his eyes and pretended to be dead.
Sheng Wang stared at him for a while, his hand in the bed quietly went down, and he poked into each other's trousers along his waist and crotch like a sudden attack.
Jiang Tian arched his waist, grabbed his wrist, opened his eyes and looked at him blankly: "..."
Sheng Wang's prank succeeded, he crawled out of bed with his hands, and ran to the washbasin, leaning against the wall with a smirk: "I'll say hello, good morning, classmate Jiang Xiaotian."
Just because of this hooligan greeting, his lower lip was broken when he went out.
The way of vacation in the attached middle school has always been wonderful, Buddhist, random, and what day is it when you get it. Several other schools in the city are closed on the 1st, and it prefers to put the holiday on the 31st.
There was no one in the school, and there was a sense of desolation after the bustling, which was a bit desolate in the cold winter. The Xile convenience store was closed for the first time in history, and even the mobile food stalls at the school gate were reduced by more than half.
Jiang Tian had something to do with the North Gate. The two walked around the streets and alleys and went into a small shop called "Mr. Jiu" for breakfast. Like this kind of small facade, you may not find the name on the food app.
"You can find this kind of place?" Sheng Wang found a seat and sat down, flipping through the simple breakfast list.
"The old man used to come to buy peanuts and drink wine." Jiang Tian said.
"Ximen came to the north gate to buy peanuts?" Sheng Wang sighed, "The old man's physical strength is good enough, and the boss's fried peanuts are particularly delicious?"
Jiang Tian shook his head: "You look good."
Sheng Wang was stunned for a moment and turned his head. He saw a little old lady who opened the curtain and walked over, put down two cups of hot tea, and asked with a smile, "Come and eat the vermicelli soup?"
Sheng Wang also smiled and nodded: "Two bowls."
"Ah, is there a taboo?"
"Don't put spicy food in his bowl." Jiang Tian said.
"Wait a minute." The little old lady wiped her hands and went behind the curtain again.
Sheng Wang took a sip of tea and said in a low voice, "You should have been a great beauty when you were young. Why isn't the old man here now?"
Jiang Tian said, "Competitiveness is not enough."
"Huh?" Sheng Wang rarely heard gossip from his mouth once, the experience was a bit novel, and he asked, "Why is it not competitive enough?"
"Stubborn temper, loud voice, and fierce-looking." Jiang Tian briefly summarized the characteristics of old man Ding and said, "I lost to a retired old teacher."
"The old man shouldn't be sad for a while?"
Jiang Tian said with an "um", "I was so angry that I quit drinking."
Sheng Wang: "… "
It's really a bit big.
The old lady's hands and feet are very quick, and soon she brought two bowls of vermicelli soup. The two boys were embarrassed to let her go so far, so they got up and took it.
The winter in this city is very extreme. As long as there is sunshine outside, it is as warm as spring, but the interior is miserable, with cold seeping from the cracks of the bones.
Sheng Wang didn't like to wear thick clothes, so he came out with a gray-black denim jacket over his sweater, and the knuckles of his fingers turned white from the cold. After two mouthfuls of hot soup, it was completely warmed up.
He ate for a while, then pretended to be casual and asked, "Does the old man like to worry a lot, and often hear him say something that keeps him awake all night."
Jiang Tian paused for a moment, raised his eyelids and looked at him.
Sheng Wang could feel the gaze of the other party, but he didn't look up, just picked up the tofu fruit in the soup wholeheartedly, as if he was really just asking casually.
"That's what he said." Jiang Tian has withdrawn his eyes and said softly: "I can sleep for three or four hours watching TV in the afternoon, but of course I can't sleep at night."
Sheng Wang let out an "oh" and became happy again. He always felt that Jiang Tian's bowl of spicy food smelled more fragrant, so he took several chopsticks regardless of the obstacles, and then covered the crack on his lips and sacrificed himself on the table.
The old lady came out startled and asked Jiang Tian, "Is he struggling?"
"I'm crying." Jiang Tian stood up angrily, went to the counter to pick up a can of milk, and touched someone's face.
The wind chimes at the door suddenly jingled, and a new guest entered the door. Sheng Wang took the milk and sat up and found that it was an acquaintance.
"Brother Xi?" Sheng Wang greeted.
Zhao Xi saw the two of them as soon as he entered the door. He took a breath, took off the cigarette between his lips, and pressed it on the trash can by the door. Light smoke dizzy in front of the face.
He narrowed his eyes in the smoke, said hello, "I didn't sleep in during the holiday, so I came to have breakfast?"
"He has something to do at North Gate." Sheng Wang pointed at Jiang Tian and said, "Let's have breakfast by the way."
"Well. Go to Brother Chu in a while." Jiang Tian said.
"Oh yes." Zhao Xi nodded, "It's almost the end of the period."
The north gate hides dragons and crouching tigers, and a group of small kitchen classes are stuffed in the residential buildings, with a steady stream of customers and booming business. As a school bully and street bully in his early years, Zhao Xi knew a lot of people. At the beginning, he helped Jiang Tian to help a friend's teaching assistant to compile the supplementary courseware of mathematics, physics and chemistry, and the kind used in the deepening and expansion class. For a scholar like Jiang Tian, it does not take up much time and earns a lot more.
When Sheng Wang first met Jiang Tian, he would come to the north gate and go home, so that Jiang Ou would not know what to think about. Later, when the school officially started, I said hello to the other party and paused.
The end of the term is approaching recently, which means that the winter vacation is approaching, and another peak period of make-up classes is coming.
Zhao Xi asked the old lady for two take-out fan soups, and chatted with the two while waiting. In the end, he asked Jiang Tian as if remembering something: "Did you have your birthday a year ago?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"That's too late." Zhao Xi said, "I'll invite you to dinner with Lin Zi then."
Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian glanced at each other, and heard a bit of overtones: "What does it mean to be in time?"
"Being in time means leaving." Zhao Xi said, "I and Lin Zi are going to Beijing."
"Vacation?"
"Work."
“That BBQ restaurant…”
Zhao Xi smiled: "We're not chefs, and we'll go the same way when we leave. Shitou's gang are all familiar with you. If you want to go to the skewer, you should get a discount."
Sheng Wang made a light "ah" sound, slightly disappointed.
The old lady quickly packed two vermicelli soup, and she gave Zhao Xi a lot of spicy food, which made Sheng Wang's mouth hurt.
The three walked towards the residential building together. Brother Chu's teaching assistant class is in the building near the north gate. Jiang Tian went to get the scope and materials for the winter vacation courseware.
Sheng Wang was waiting for him downstairs in the sun, but Zhao Xi actually stopped. He looked at Sheng Wang and joked, "What's wrong with your mouth swollen like this?"
"Spicy." Sheng Wang poured the milk to relieve spicy, with a very humiliating look on his face.
"Oh." Zhao Xi took out another cigarette and lit it in the leeward, probably because of the smoke, he looked a little tired.
"Brother Xi, haven't you slept well recently?" Sheng Wang asked.
"Is the dark circles so obvious?" Zhao Xi rubbed her eyes and added, "Comrade Zhao has not been in good health these days. Lin Zi and I have been around the old comrade recently and slept less. Go back to Beijing, two The old ones will also go with them. Joy may have to be watched by others. If you have something to buy, remember to buy it quickly before the year, and you may not necessarily give your relatives and friends a price after the year."
Seeing that he could still joke, Sheng Wang was relieved.
Zhao Xi didn't stay much longer. After answering the phone, he pressed his cigarette and wanted to leave, but before he left, he glanced at Sheng Wang's neck and tutted off his scarf: "I guess I'm getting old, seeing you in the winter. I was freezing when my neck was exposed, so I closed it, and I left."
Sheng Wang grabbed the scarf with a confused look, and the others had already turned a corner and walked away.
When the eldest young master wears a scarf, he should also pay attention to whether he is handsome or not, and he can't wear it casually. The window on the first floor of the residential building was polished. He used it as a mirror and saw a small mark on the side of his neck. He didn't know if it was made by his brother last night or this morning.
This is where Zhao Xi's eyes swept just now.
Sheng Wang froze in place with the scarf, his heart sank.
When Jiang Tian went downstairs, Sheng Wang had already wrapped his scarf. The dark gray cashmere cloth covered his chin, making his face white.
"Where did you get the scarf?" Jiang Tian asked.
"Brother Xi gave it to me." Sheng Wang's voice was hidden under the scarf, a little dull: "If you look at me, it will be cold."
They sent the materials back to the dormitory and walked to a nearby studio.
The blockbusters were all kept in the Spring Festival stalls, and there was nothing to watch for the new ones. The two chose one at random, but they were so unlucky that they were so boring that Sheng Wang began to lose his mind shortly after he entered the theater.
There were not many people watching the movie in the morning. The two of them just wanted to find a place to stay together, so when Sheng Wang chose a seat, he found the movie hall with the fewest people, and chose the last row where no one chose.
Jiang Tian really didn't like this type of film, and fell asleep with his fingers hooked on his head when he saw it. Sheng Wang didn't call him, he took out his mobile phone and adjusted the light to the darkest, and scanned the Moments for a while. As a result, he swiped two videos shared by Sheng Mingyang. He didn't say anything, just gave two thumbs up.
Just by looking at the thumbnail, you can tell that it was the performance video of him and Jiang Tian at the Art Festival last night.
He was stunned for a moment and quickly sent a message to Sheng Mingyang.
Say it again: did you come to school yesterday
Health Encyclopedia: No. Didn't I mention it to you before, Bureau Chen had an appointment last night. Dad pushed it twice before, but this time I really couldn't push it.
Say it again: oh, I just suddenly saw you shared two videos, and thought you and Aunt Jiang came to watch it
Health Encyclopedia: In the circle of friends posted by Director Xu, I went to find the video he wanted
Health Encyclopedia: Make up for the regret of not being able to go to the scene, your aunt Jiang said it is very handsome
Say it again: that is, when is your son not handsome
Sheng Wang breathed a sigh of relief, saying that he was a false alarm.
As a result, just after the loosening, Sheng Mingyang said: I see why Xiaotian is wearing your shirt
Sheng Wang almost threw the phone out, he grabbed the phone and glanced at Jiang Tian quietly. Seeing that he only frowned, he was relieved, biting his tongue and replying word by word: I have ink splashed on my shirt, and the chorus is not good. It was convenient to wear, so I borrowed it from him. He acts as a duo, so the costumes don't need to be so uniform.
Health Encyclopedia: No wonder, I see his clothes are not tied up, only half stuffed. Your aunt Jiang said that she wanted to put the other half in for him.
Sheng Wang couldn't help but let out a sullen laugh, and after laughing, he felt a little unspeakable.
He was silent for a moment, and replied to his father: My brother is so cool.
Health Encyclopedia: Oh, we old comrades are not used to it. Tell Tim that he plays the guitar well.
Sheng Wang replied "yes" and did not continue.
Perhaps because of the holiday, WeChat was extraordinarily lively on this day. It turned on a dozen times in no time. Sheng Wang thought it was still Sheng Mingyang's news, but when he clicked in, he found that there was a small group of people moving.
It was a preparation group pulled before the festival. Originally, Jiang Tian was also inside, but he withdrew as soon as the festival ended last night. Sheng Wang has not had time.
Gao Tianyang and the others were extremely bored. They were sharing their lunch on the holiday in the group, trying to torture each other. As a result, the little pepper suddenly popped out and said: Did you hear that something was lost in the auditorium last night
Unpretentious Gao Tianyang: Huh
Da Song: Classmate Chili, I appreciate your spirit of sharing gossip, but everyone in Aite may be madly complained about by Brother Tian and Brother Sheng.
After saying this, Little Pepper suddenly lost his voice.
Or the carp added: Hasn't Jiang Tian already retired
Da Song: Oh yes, I forgot
Carp said: I will also retire in a while. I am drinking porridge at home and watching your fighting pictures. It is too torturous.
They chatted erratically for a while, and then the little pepper appeared again, and replied: the hand trembled accidentally @ everyone
As soon as these words were finished, Sheng Wang showed that he was @@.
Simple and unpretentious Gao Tianyang: ...Fu, Sister Chili, are you here to be funny
Little Chili posted a picture of autism.
Unpretentious Gao Tianyang: So what happened to the lost things in the auditorium
This time, the little pepper came back quickly: yesterday there were so many people, it was probably quite chaotic, and several students lost things. It is said that the representative of our English class lost his bag.
Say it again: Qi Jiahao
Since Qi Jiahao cheated on Shengwang, it seems that there is no such person in Class A. He basically didn't participate in large and small activities, as if he was focused on learning. In other words, it is virtually isolated.
Others no longer take the initiative to take him, and he himself chooses to stay away from others. This seemingly non-existent isolation is not indifferent to any student, so he seems to be working hard, but his grades are steadily declining, so the whole person seems to be more marginalized. Sheng Wang didn't see him a few times when he changed to Class B. If it wasn't for Chili's sudden mention, he would have almost forgotten about this person.
I don't know if Chili is busy or stuck. After Sheng Wang sent a message, she was silent again.
After a long time, she popped out and said: ah.
Then she immediately added: It is said that he went to the Political and Religious Office to adjust the monitoring of the auditorium today.
Sheng Wang was about to turn off the screen, but when he suddenly saw this sentence, his breathing was stagnant, his blood seemed to be pumped, and his chest was cold.
Adjust monitoring? What time to schedule monitoring? Will it go to the fourth floor
It may be that he was too stiff, and Jiang Tian suddenly woke up. He pinched his brows, eased his sleepiness, and then whispered in his ear, "What's the matter?"
Sheng Wang subconsciously turned off the screen.
He rubbed his fingertips vigorously, feeling the warmth of the limbs, and then said, "No, in the art festival group, Chili touched everyone in Aite twice, I thought there was something wrong, but it turned out to be Until they are making hot pot barbecue."
In fact, adjusting the monitoring means that what he and Jiang Tian did on the fourth floor are likely to be seen. It may be better to discuss the countermeasures with Jiang Tian in advance.
But he instinctively didn't want to mention it, just like the traces that Zhao Xi saw in the morning, including the video sent by Sheng Mingyang.
He always felt that once he told Jiang Tian, it meant that they had to move out some practical problems and clarify them. That result probably won't make them happy.
will not see.
He said to himself in his heart.
Rationally speaking, there is no way out on the fourth floor. If there are students with unclean hands and feet who take their bags, they will only walk outside the auditorium, and will not go upstairs with all their might.
And just by looking at the monitoring inside the auditorium, you can know who is in the hands of the bag. It's too time-consuming to watch everywhere.
Certainly... won't see it.
He thought it might be because he was too complacent a few days ago, so God decided to press him with a few sticks, but unfortunately, these sticks were picked on the same day, and a series of attacks came, which caught him off guard.
The rest is fine, Qi Jiahao's monitoring is like a long sword, hanging on top of his head, I don't know when it will fall. As a result, for several days after that, he was a little nervous, as long as Jiang Tian was not by his side, he would stay unscrupulously and for a long time.
Until one morning a week later, Xu Xiaozui went downstairs during the big class break, called Sheng Wang out at the door of Class B, and said, "Go to the Political and Educational Office, the director is looking for you."
Sheng Wang was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Jiang Tian who followed him downstairs, there was a buzzing sound in his mind.
He licked his lips and asked dryly, "Are you two looking for us?"
Xu Xiaozui nodded and said, "Yes."
"What happened?" Sheng Wang asked.
"No." Xu Xiaozui shook his head, "Just let me tell you something, I didn't say anything."
Sheng Wang couldn't remember how he got to the Political and Religious Office. He forgot what he talked to Jiang Tian along the way. He only felt that he was divided into two halves. send.
As a result, when he entered the office of the Political and Education Office, he didn't see Qi Jiahao, but he saw Yang Jing. Xu Dazui held two hardcover certificates in flannel, and smiled like a big horse monkey, his mouth grinning to the roots of his ears.
"Okay! Good!" Xu Dazui unfolded the certificate, shook it in front of the two of them, patted Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian on the shoulders, and said, "The results of the English competition are out, but it made me laugh. Two first prizes! National level! I've been holding back all morning today, and I'm waiting for a surprise for you two and Xiao Yang during the big class break! How is it! Are you happy?"
"… "
I…
Sheng Wang was dumbfounded for more than ten seconds before he uttered a harsh sentence in his heart.
It's all like this. If he really finds something, Xu Dazui can't say a word, so it should be fine. The sword that had been hanging for a week slammed to the ground, smashing his forehead with a golden light. At that moment, he grabbed Jiang Tian's shoulder, said "what a big surprise, but it scared me to death", and then put all his weight on Jiang Tian.
When he left the office, the eldest young master was like a "corpse", almost dragged by Jiang Tian.
"Go down the stairs later, are you sure you want to hang like this?" Jiang Tian glanced at him.
Sheng Wang: "I am so happy that my legs are soft."
Jiang Tian: "…"
Xu Dazui held two photos in front of him and hummed a song with his head held high. He led Jiang Tian, who won the award and indifferent, and Shengwang, who was suddenly paraplegic, to the wall of honor, and solemnly took photos of the two of them. They were pasted side by side, and then the newly cut red strips of paper were pasted on top of them—
