The air conditioner was turned on to the highest gear, and the temperature in the car gradually dropped. On the contrary, it is the constant and persistent heat outside the car window. It is clear that the solar term has passed the end of the summer, but the heat has not disappeared, and it is normal to pass through the border.
Xu Tangcheng looked at the time, guessing that people were getting down soon, he reached out and turned the air conditioner down a gear.
As soon as the knob was in place, the corridor door was pushed open. The light cuts, shaking a tall figure.
"Put your bag in the back seat."
Unlike other freshmen, YiZhe didn't have any big or small suitcases, he only brought the shoulders he bought him. The outfit looks too simple, and it doesn't look like school at all. Xu Tangcheng thought about it, it's okay, if you need it, you can wait until the school to buy it.
The car hit the road, and the speed increased. Xu Tangcheng was afraid of being bored on the road, so he turned on the car player.
"There's a CD pack there, pick what you want to hear."
Follow his instructions to find the CD case and look at the pile of discs inside, but YiZhe has no idea what to do.
"I don't usually listen to these, you choose, what do you want to hear?"
"Don't listen?" Xu Tangcheng was surprised, "I think you always wear headphones."
YiZhe raised a hand and touched his nose: "I don't listen to pop music, but rather..."
"Dry." After thinking for a while, he thought of such a word.
"Oh." Xu Tangcheng smiled, "Then just pick one, I've heard this many times."
He said it casually, but YiZhe chose it carefully. It's just that the names of the singers who passed his eyes were unfamiliar to him. In the end, he only chose a cover that looked the most pleasing to his eyes.
Under the blue sky, there is a woman lying down and playing the piano.
After the faint sound of disk reading, the music starts playing.
During the whole process, Xu Tangcheng never looked down, but the note only came out for a few seconds, and he raised his eyebrows: "I chose this one."
"Well," YiZhe turned his head to look at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's a female singer I like very much. This is her first album, and it tells the stories of travelers."
Yizhe is willing to participate in everything he likes, so he listens very carefully to what he introduces.
There are a lot of vehicles ahead, and the area that is about to reach the checkpoint is moving slowly. Looking at the car dragon in front, Xu Tangcheng tilted his head in the music and said, "Suddenly I remembered that one of my favorite songs in this album, the title of the song is very suitable for now."
"what?"
YiZhe suddenly regretted choosing this English disc. Even if he has a very good English score in the college entrance examination, his English level is limited to what he has learned and used in school. He is afraid that Xu Tangcheng will say a song title later, but he will not be able to translate it correctly.
Fortunately, after pondering for a while, Xu Tangcheng only said a very simple word.
"Journey."
journey.
At that time, Yizhe had a superficial understanding of the word. It was a short journey from his home to Beijing and the north. Going a little deeper, he entered the university, but it was just a short new path. Xu Tangcheng didn't explain any further, the female singer's voice was firm and soft, and when he reached a certain passage, Xu Tangcheng followed gently and hummed a tune.
In hindsight, Yi Zhe felt that it was a pity that he couldn't appreciate the song that Xu Tangcheng had mentioned on purpose. Xu Tangcheng's favorite songs are probably all good songs, but Yi Zhe's appreciation level is limited. In addition, the rhythm of the songs in this album is too slow for him, making him drowsy. He tried his best to hold on, but after a while, he lost consciousness uncontrollably.
Xu Tangcheng, who was driving beside him, caught sight of it, laughed silently, and then turned down the volume and temporarily turned off the air conditioner.
When YiZhe woke up again, the car was already parked in the A parking lot.
When freshmen report, there are a lot of cars on campus. It is unavoidable that the whistle will sound from time to time. On the road, he slept soundly, and when he was woken up by the horn, YiZhe was still dreaming a dream that was not real. Opening his eyes, he turned from drowsiness to his awake room, and he saw a welcome banner of a certain academy hanging on a building in front of him.
Red background, white square characters.
He looked at the banner and recalled it for a while, before connecting to the story before his sleep—the car driving peacefully, the song sung slowly.
It was quiet in the car, and he was alone. YiZhe turned his head to look for Xu Tangcheng, and saw that he was standing by the car on the phone, holding a cigarette in his right hand.
The dream is also a campus, but obviously, the campus in front of you is more likeable.
"Get out of the car." In a daze, Xu Tangcheng outside the car had already opened the door. He propped his arms and said to him the arrangement softly: "Take the admission notice and documents, and put the rest in the car. We will go out to eat and buy things later."
"Yeah." YiZhe nodded.
According to what Xu Tangcheng said, he dug out the courier bag containing the admission notice from his schoolbag, but he couldn't find his ID card anyway.
"Did not bring?"
"Bring it..." YiZhe was not sure, but he had some impressions. He remembered that he did pick up his ID card last night and put it in his schoolbag. But where it is, it is chaos.
"Don't worry, look for it again."
With that said, Xu Tangcheng also got into the car and picked up the courier bag he just turned out. Just about to check, the window was knocked. Yi Zhe looked up and saw that he was a tall and slender man, not too old, but obviously more mature than himself.
Xu Tangcheng quickly got out of the car again and talked to him.
YiZhe saw that the man gave Xu Tangcheng a cigarette and said something to him with a smile. Xu Tangcheng waved his hand and pointed to the inside of the car, but didn't pick it up. The man handed it over to him again, looking reluctant. From this angle, YiZhe could only see Xu Tangcheng's profile, but he couldn't see what kind of expression he had, but in the end, he saw that he still raised his hand and took the cigarette.
The man leaned towards him and helped him set it on fire.
"I haven't found it yet?" Until Xu Tangcheng got in the car again, Yi Zhe still found nothing.
"Um."
Xu Tangcheng had already extinguished the cigarette before he got into the car. According to the time estimate, the cigarette probably hadn't even been ignited, but at this time, his body still had a faint smell of tobacco. He raised his hand and lowered his arm, and the smell of smoke drifted closer to him.
"When did you start smoking?" YiZhe asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Xu Tangcheng took the courier bag in his hand again, before bowing his head, he was stopped by his words. He thought for a while and said, "Junior, I was too tired, so I started smoking."
The schoolbag was already in a mess, YiZhe picked up the clothes that were already wrinkled and put them down.
"Let's smoke less, it's not good for your health."
Xu Tangcheng raised his head in surprise, looked at his serious expression, and smiled: "Hey, you started smoking before graduating high school, you don't seem qualified to talk about me."
YiZhe moved his lips, but said nothing. Xu Tangcheng didn't care, and buried his head in rummaging, but he didn't expect to exclaim soon. He raised the thing in his hand towards Yi Zhe: "Classmate, it's in the brochure."
Fortunately, there is no danger.
"Why do you put your ID card in the brochure?" He looked at the person who was sweating on his forehead, and sighed, "You're messing around, it's time to fix it."
The schoolbag was open, and while he was talking, YiZhe noticed that Xu Tangcheng's eyes fell.
"Well, I see." Responding to his words, he hurriedly tucked back the exposed clothes, and YiZhe quickly zipped up the zipper.
Each department will have a welcome desk. Xu Tangcheng took Yi Zhe to find the desk of the Department of Electronic Engineering, and stood aside waiting for him to go through various registration procedures. Several of the students in charge of welcoming new students knew Xu Tangcheng, and they called out "senior" one by one, and the conversation was full of familiarity and warmth.
The content of their conversation was very complicated. They talked about the orientation of the new students. They occasionally mentioned a few teachers in the academy, a few interesting things, and even, Yi Zhe heard them talk about the competition arrangement. Some of the content he can understand, and some are completely incomprehensible. Strangely, despite not knowing it, despite trying to focus himself on filling out the form, he couldn't help but listen to what they had to say.
Later, he was sensitively aware that the atmosphere of their conversation at this time was different from when Xu Tangcheng was talking to him, and it was even different from anything he had ever seen or experienced.
The content of this group of people's chat seems to be one sentence and one sentence, and it is out of order, but after thinking about it, this kind of escape is a kind of coherent and interesting thinking, which exists in a free dimension.
It was in such an inconspicuous and very casual conversation that he first realized what a university teacher called "freedom of thought and vigorous interest".
The signature pen suddenly broke the water.
YiZhe scratched hard a few times, and a groove was carved out of the page, but there was still no ink.
A hand came into view and offered a pen.
YiZhe looked up and saw that Xu Tangcheng was still talking idle with others, but his eyes were looking at him.
"Is this your brother?" The long-haired girl sitting at the table noticed their small movements, diverted her attention, and asked Xu Tangcheng.
"Um."
"Pretty handsome." The girl blinked and asked Xu Tangcheng, "How is it, do you have a girlfriend?"
Xu Tang established Ma Xiao and replied: "I don't know. Besides, you can't remember if there is any."
"I don't think about myself, I can't think about my younger sister."
Xu Tangcheng smiled and shook his head: "Then how many younger brothers do you have to think about today?"
He avoided it lightly and didn't need the client to speak at all.
But after filling out the form and picking up a bag of documents, Xu Tangcheng suddenly turned to look at Yi Zhe: "Do you have a girlfriend?"
YiZhe was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head.
"No ah."
A girlfriend or something is already too incredible for him.
As for the next words, Xu Tangcheng asked after thinking for a while.
"Actually, I thought you came to Beijing suddenly because of that girl." Looking at YiZhe's face, he added, "Go to the one from B University."
"Zhao Weifan?" Yi Zhe said quickly, "It has nothing to do with her."
YiZhe's denial was so firm that Xu Tangcheng couldn't help but wonder if his previous inference was completely wrong. What was YiZhe thinking about when he filled out the volunteer
He thought about this question for a long time after learning that Yi Zhe had reported to the A big correspondence.
The reason Yi Zhe gave him at the time was very simple. He felt that A was good, the major was also good, and there were people he knew. But in the dark corridor, Xu Tangcheng couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you always want to go to Shanghai?"
Asking this way is because he knows why he chose to live with his mother in the first place, and even more that he actually misses his father and younger brother for so many years.
But at that time, Yi Zhe just lowered his head and said, "I don't want to go that much either."
Due to the limited check-in time in the dormitory, Xu Tangcheng temporarily changed the arrangement and brought Yizhe to check-in first, and then went out to buy things. Futons and the like can be bought directly at the school. They are all in a uniform style. From pillows to mattresses, you have everything you need in one set. YiZhe thought it was troublesome to go out and buy a set, so he said just buy a set, but Xu Tangcheng stopped him and went to see the fabric himself.
"The sheets and sheets are okay, they are pure cotton to the touch, but this quilt in winter is not good, it's not filled with cotton." Xu Tangcheng said as he walked, "But anyway, I can't cover it now, I'll buy another one when it's cold. A bed will do."
YiZhe carried the big pile of things back and put them on the bed. Seeing that it was getting late, he dragged him to dinner. Xu Tangcheng leaned over again and sniffed next to the quilt. Afterwards, he frowned and said, "That's not okay, don't wash..."
The dormitory is a four-person room. After Xu Tangcheng straightened up, he saw that someone had already made his bed, using this set of mattresses, so he stopped in time and didn't say any more.
After following YiZhe out the door, he whispered, "If you don't dislike it, I'll go get you a set of my sheets and pillowcases. I just washed them and they're clean. You haven't washed this set yet, smell it. It smells bad and it's not clean."
Because there were many people in the corridor, when Xu Tangcheng was about to talk to him just now, Xu Tangcheng got close to him and touched his arm. Looking at the person who was close at hand, waiting for his answer, YiZhe's heart suddenly softened.
In this turbulent crowd, his closest feeling to him is really good.
"Okay." After saying such a word, he didn't dare to say more.
"You live here too?" YiZhe asked casually when he went downstairs.
"No, I live far away from you. You are next to the south gate, I live at the east gate, and a little further north."
YiZhe stopped at the first step and didn't move.
"What's wrong?" Xu Tangcheng put his pocket in his pocket and looked back at him at the third step down the stairs.
Rely on, they don't live together.
"fine."
