Xu Tangcheng warned YiZhe, but YiZhe remained stubborn. A big boy under the age of 20 fell in love with the person he liked since childhood, and naturally wanted to give him all the good things. Like in a small town, Yi Zhe bought a bicycle on purpose. Because it was at school, Xu Tangcheng refused to sit on his beam, so he rode from the south gate of the school to the east gate every day, and parked the bike at the entrance of Xu Tangcheng's dormitory. , listen to the birds chirping under the big tree for a while, and then go to breakfast with the people who came out rubbing their eyes.
Life becomes full and vivid, starting from the accumulation of details.
The second cafeteria will have fried eggs in the morning. If you arrive before 7:20, you can usually get good-looking ones. And Xu Tangcheng likes to eat fried eggs that are close to round.
Xu Tangcheng's smoking frequency decreased a lot. Yizhe rummaged through Xu Tangcheng's coat pocket to find the keys to his home, and sometimes found a cigarette case with the same tear marks as a month ago.
Xu Tangcheng usually leaves the laboratory around ten o'clock in the evening, and there is no rush for work that requires staying up late, and it will not exceed ten thirty. He would send him a message ten minutes in advance, asking where he was and whether he was still in the study room. Sometimes, YiZhe would tell him that he was waiting for him downstairs. When Xu Tangcheng was chatting with others and waiting for the elevator, the screen of his mobile phone lit up, and he would receive another message, reporting the scene downstairs to him: "There is a couple kissing opposite." If he is still in the study room, Xu Tangcheng will shorten the time for sorting out the experiment and simulation results of the day to five minutes, and spend the other five minutes walking to a certain teaching building or a certain classroom.
As they walked together, Yi Che sometimes looked up at the moon. Slowly, there was an unconscious statistic in their hearts - more often, what hangs over their heads and is noticed by them is another new moon.
Xu Tangcheng praised the crescent moon twice as good-looking.
YiZhe has never deliberately pursued sweetness, but every time he suddenly looks back, he can always pick up countless sweet images. It's the kind of scene where I tell others, no one understands, but when the two of them talk, they secretly look at each other and smile.
Since the second year of sophomore year, Yi Zhe has been working as a tutor. The purpose of the part-time job is very simple, for the future.
It seems that after being with Xu Tangcheng, YiZhe began to think more and more about the "future".
their future.
Three more words are added, but it is a completely different life.
After making up his mind to save money, Yi Zhe said to Xu Tangcheng in a low voice, "Are you free tomorrow morning? I want to get a bank card."
Xiang Xiyu always throws money at him, and when he grows up, YiZhe only has a bank card issued by the school.
Xu Tangcheng was very strange: "Is one card not enough?"
"I don't want to use that." YiZhe didn't explain, just said this very briefly.
This is what he prepared for their future, so he has to do a new one with all the money he earned.
Xu Tangcheng looked at him for a few seconds, and without asking why, he said, "If you have time, let's do it tomorrow."
After reading two pages of the book, he poked Yizu again and asked in a low voice, "Which bank do you want to run?"
Yi Zhe was a little confused by this question, and almost asked, "Which one does it work?"
Judging from his expression, Xu Tangcheng estimated that he should have no concept of various banks at all, but only knew that he needed a bank card.
"that is… "
The two were sitting in the last row of the classroom for self-study. Someone had opened the window halfway. Xu Tangcheng sneezed as soon as he said two words. These two days have been raining and cooling down. It is obviously midsummer, but the wind is cold at night.
Xu Tangcheng took a breath and shrank his hand into his sleeve. YiZhe was halfway through solving a problem, got up, and closed the window not far away.
Xu Tangcheng watched him raise his hand and pull on his shirt. The soft fabric is attached to the body, and the muscle lines of the waist are faintly printed.
A precious feeling will make people reborn. The young man, who used to ignore the heat and cold, also began to notice these small details.
On the way back that day, the two had been discussing the bank card issue.
"First of all, the number of branches, distribution range, and regions of each bank are not the same. For example, Bank of Communications, I have a Bank of Communications card, but this bank is very common in Beijing, and many people use it, but in our house, it is not connected. There are no outlets." Xu Tangcheng counted the pros and cons, and pursed his lips and added, "But I think the Bank of Communications card is the best looking."
"In addition, the annual fee, although this is not much money, but each bank is not the same."
Yi Zhe didn't expect that there are so many things to consider when applying for a bank card. He didn't think about it at all. At this moment, listening to Xu Tangcheng's words was more serious than listening to a professional class.
Under Xu Tangcheng's comprehensive analysis, the two went to ICBC, which is closest to the school and has almost the most outlets, the next day. Accompanying Yi Zhe to apply for a card, while arranging the number, Xu Tangcheng thought about it and said, "How about I also apply for one."
He happened to have some new investment plans, and if he wanted to have another card, it might be clearer and more convenient.
"Let's do it," YiZhe said immediately, "We'll do it together."
YiZhe didn't care about the reason, but he wanted everything he could do with him. After dialing the abacus in his mind, Yi Zhe suddenly thought, if we do it together, it will be a series of numbers, like a couple's card.
Unfortunately, the card finally came out, but he was disappointed.
Two people are not consecutive numbers, it is far-fetched to insist on relying on the couple's card. Yi Zhe was puzzled, and Xu Tangcheng tapped the card face with one finger to explain, "It's all connected to the Internet. It takes time for you to do it and then for me. How many new cards have to come out in the whole country? Of course, they won't be able to connect."
YiZhe frowned and thought, still doubting: "Is that so?"
Xu Tangcheng was afraid that he would lose the card on the road before he brought it back, so he put both cards in his pocket and said, "It should be, I guess."
How could he not know about Yi Zhe's careful thinking, sometimes Xu Tangcheng would find it funny, a young man half a head taller than him, but full of girlish feelings.
"Okay," Xu Tangcheng said with relief, seeing the dissatisfaction on his face, "It's just a few people away. If we do it together, it's even a couple card."
YiZhe pouted, reluctantly accepting this statement. If the number is not consecutive, at least it is the official genuine card recognized by the party concerned.
They went to a nearby restaurant for dinner, and when they parted, it was already dark night again. The wind rustled the woods, Xu Tangcheng stood on the edge of the brick beside the path and asked Yi Zhe, "Don't you think you forgot something?"
YiZhe was stunned for a moment, then glanced to the side.
The path they were on was dimly lit and the road was narrow. At this time, no one passed by.
Xu Tangcheng leaned back against a small forest, and Yi Zhe quickly scanned around, feeling that there was no danger, so he lowered his head, and his burning gaze fell on Xu Tangcheng's eyes. He asked softly, "Kiss?"
Xu Tangcheng clutched the two cards in his pocket, and suddenly he was looking forward to seeing how far this person could get lost in the future.
He waved at YiZhe, with a sense of indisputable giving up: "Let's go."
But the long shadow on the ground still moved. The boy bends his body, bends his arms, and stretches his neck in a sexual way. Lowering his jaw slightly, he kissed a profile face.
The two shadows quickly touched each other and immediately separated.
Then there is the joy of the shadow all the way.
Yi Zhe ran back to the dormitory, walked three steps, and ran to the door of the dormitory, almost knocking over the kettle in his roommate's hand.
The roommate looked worried and asked, "Why are you here, so excited?"
Why did you go
The thoughts that floated all the way were dragged back to the ground by these words, YiZhe looked out the window for a while, and started to smirk.
The kiss from the sneak attack, and the bank card that I forgot to get back, folded into the folds of midsummer.
The bank card that was returned the next day changed slightly - it carried a sticker of a Miffy rabbit, which was in the same vein as the Powerpuff Girls keychain that Yizhe kept in the drawer.
Sitting in the cafeteria, YiZhe couldn't help laughing, and asked Xu Tangcheng where such stickers came from.
"Chengxu bought stationery and sent it."
When he said this, Xu Tangcheng was in a casual state from his tone to his expression. But after lunch, on the bustling campus alley, he also seemed to be a little childish and presumptuous by the schoolmates who were handing out flyers around.
Unable to hold back, Xu Tangcheng took the bank cards of two people, and when he said it out, he showed off and smug that he was aware of.
"Did you find it, yours is in the upper right corner and mine is in the upper left corner."
After he finished speaking, he placed the two cards on the left and the right.
The sunlight leaking from the dense canopy, just like a seal, knocked on the two rabbits.
A red skirt and a yellow skirt.
The two rabbits seem to be holding hands. The folds of midsummer are colored like this.
At first, Yi Zhe thought about a lot of ways to make money, and even considered the stocks Xu Tangcheng chose. At Xu Tangcheng's suggestion, he spent a thousand yuan to test the water, but he didn't expect to lose everything. Driven by reason, he had to give up this path.
The work of tutoring is actually thanks to Zheng Yikun. Yi Zhe usually doesn't communicate closely with other classmates. At the beginning, although he thought tutoring was a reliable way to make money, he never found a suitable opportunity. Zheng Yikun came to him for a drink, and when he mentioned this incident by chance, Yi Zhe knew that Zheng Yikun was just cooperating with a senior to run a college tutoring institution. Similar to the intermediary, the general business model is that they will contact a group of qualified college students and some families who need tutoring, distribute them reasonably, and take trial lectures.
Zheng Yikun personally helped to choose the family where Yi Zhe taught. The address is very close to the school, the class time is very high, and the schedule is relatively free. In Zheng Yikun's words, this is the most cost-effective tutoring opportunity at present.
YiZhe patted him on the shoulder and said that he must be invited to dinner.
The family was a boy in junior high school, and Yi Zhe was in charge of tutoring him in math and physics. The first time I went there, YiZhe tried to teach a math class, and the boy's mother sat in on it. After that, he was very satisfied and immediately set a weekly class time with him.
It's just that after that class, YiZhe was a little strange. He could clearly see that the boy's foundation was not bad. He even thought that the boy should be excellent in school, but when he communicated with the mother before he came, the words in her words But for some reason, she was full of dissatisfaction. It seemed that her son was really bad to the point of being unsightly, and he was a thousand miles away from her request.
This doubt was answered after the boy's final exam and their last tutoring class before the Spring Festival. Yi Zhe held the boy's excellent report card and listened to his mother saying, anyway, Mr. Yi will study in University A for a few years. I hope Mr. Yi can guide him for a long time. also teach him.
At the beginning of 2010, the remedial classes at that time were not as ubiquitous as they are now. The most common standard for children to be excellent was only the number one place in the school test and a few perfect scores, not whether they learned calculus in junior high school. What has been learned in the course of the junior class? This kind of pre-education thinking was difficult to understand at the time, and he cautiously confirmed: "Is it a high school course?"
The mother nodded, confirming that he had heard it right.
"But... he's only in the first year of junior high school, is he going to take high school classes?"
The boy had been sitting by the side listening to the conversation between the two of them without saying a word, but YiZhe had seen him several times, raised his hand and touched the figure on the table. It was an anime character holding a basketball.
From Yizhe's point of view, he could just see the thickness of the boy's lens, the lines in circles, which were too heavy for his age.
"To learn."
Perhaps it was because the pair of lenses looked so dizzy that it was more difficult for Yi Zhe to meddle in his own business: "It may still be a little difficult."
He didn't know exactly what was right or wrong, but at that time he did have the urge to fight for a little free space for this boy who was a few years younger than him. Free space for his age.
But the boy's mother said something, which made YiZhe speechless.
"As long as you want to learn, there is nothing you can't learn."
It snowed that day, and when YiZhe left, the boy was still sitting at the desk, doing the last set of mock papers prescribed by his mother. There was a strong aroma of food in the kitchen, and the smell of YiZhe made his stomach growl, but the boy didn't respond, as if his senses were out of order.
YiZhe said softly that he was leaving, but the boy ignored him.
But when YiZhe picked up his clothes, he suddenly turned his head, looked out the window, and said, "It's snowing."
YiZhe looked towards the window, and sure enough, there were large snowflakes filling the view of one window.
Looking at the back in front of the table, looking out the window, which was completely different from the warmth inside, YiZhe moved his lips, but said nothing.
It wasn't until he stepped out of the snow that he suddenly felt some regret and depression.
He thought that if Xu Tangcheng was the tutor today, he probably wouldn't be blocked by the mother's words. As long as he doesn't drink alcohol, Xu Tangcheng has always been rational and comprehensive. He must be able to list a series of pros and cons for the mother like analyzing which bank card to get. In that case, the child may not just watch Look out the window and say, "It's snowing."
He was in a bad mood, and on the bus on the way back, the sentence that seemed to insinuate that he was a frog in a well was still in his head. It was also because of this sentence that after a long absence, YiZhe thought of the only time he had been struggling with learning.
his high school years.
At that time, I didn't understand anything, I didn't want to be a good person, I didn't want to be an excellent person, just thinking about going to the same university as Xu Tangcheng, he just tried his best. The chemistry teacher in the first year of high school spoke with a heavy accent, and sometimes Yizhe couldn't understand it, so he simply gave up listening, which directly led to his poor learning of inorganic chemistry. And after knowing that his grades would not be able to get into the A university, for a period of time, in addition to completing the study tasks in school, he would take the inorganic chemistry textbooks and the previous classroom workbooks home every night after school. .
For a month, every day from 11:00 to 12:30, he learned the content of the first year of high school from beginning to end. After that, he never missed more than five points in the inorganic part of the exams.
There was no schoolbag at that time, and the textbooks and workbooks were rolled into a tube by him and held in his hands. The bookcase falls on the handlebar, and the empty circle records the tiny life in the city.
Probably, that was the only time he was in line with what the boy's mother said. I want to learn, and I go crazy, desperately trying to learn well.
When the bus arrived at the bus stop, YiZhe was still distracted after getting off the bus.
Xu Tangcheng waited for him at the bus stop, and the two made an appointment to go to the nearby shopping mall to eat hot pot together.
Almost as soon as we met, Xu Tangcheng realized that YiZhe was in a very unusual mood today. Yi Zhe explained today's events under his inquiry, Xu Tangcheng handed him the mixed sesame sauce, thought for a while, and said, "How should I put it, if it's simply education in advance, I think this situation has already It's becoming more and more common. Children like my tutor's family, who went to the kind of juvenile class, have completed college before the age of fourteen, and are now studying at the next school. This kind of thing still needs to be looked at in detail, some children It is suitable for this model, but like the boy you mentioned today, it may not be suitable and is forced. I think that the child's wishes should be respected, but some parents may feel that the child is still young and does not understand, and it is their own decision-making. It's for his own good, it's right."
Due to the special family relationship, YiZhe has no experience of parental thinking. He shook his head and said, "I don't understand."
The hot pot was opened, and the conversation between the two ended hastily.
Xu Tangcheng concluded at the end: "Well, in the future you will find more and more things that you can't understand."
He used a slotted spoon to scoop out a few pieces of yellow throat and stretched it out in front of Yi Zhe: "I don't understand first, let's eat yellow throat, it won't taste good after cooking."
After being interrupted by Xu Tangcheng, YiZhe's originally depressed mood also warmed up a little. He didn't see the boy again for a while, and he didn't think about it anymore.
But unexpectedly, Xu Tangcheng's half-truth summary that day was quickly verified by another. On a very ordinary night, the news of Zheng Yikun dropping out of school suddenly exploded in the class.
It is not a suspension of study, not being dismissed because of too many failed courses and insufficient grades, but a drop out of school entirely out of personal will.
The dullness of the exam week completely exploded under the influence of gossip, leading to a bunch of inquiries and speculations.
When YiZhe heard the news, he was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the dormitory, texting with Xu Tangcheng about going to the supermarket tomorrow. The two roommates were discussing, and the boy who had always had a small stomach interjected: "It must be because he is too stupid to learn."
YiZhe frowned slightly and glanced at the man.
The atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became a little embarrassing because of this sentence. The remaining two people glanced at each other, tacitly stopped talking, and took the tooth cup to wash.
The boy was going to say something, but the door of the dormitory was suddenly pushed open. In the winter, Zheng Yikun only wore a black shirt with a strong smell of tobacco.
He went straight to YiZhe's bed, threw the student card in his hand on YiZhe's desk, put his hand on the edge of the bed, and said to the person above, "I have to sell a card before I can leave, I don't have time during the day. , do you have time to run for me?"
Xu Shi was frightened by Zheng Yikun's increasingly serious ruffian, and before Yi Zhe nodded in agreement, the boy who was still saying that Zheng Yikun was stupid just now quietly took the book and went out.
The dormitory door was closed and no one was there, so Yi Zhe got out of bed and asked, "Why did you drop out?"
"I don't like learning these things," Zheng Yikun looked at his watch. "There are people waiting for me outside. I'm in a hurry, so I won't tell you first. If you are free on the weekend, please have a meal, I guess in the future I'm busy, so it won't be common anymore, if you don't mind, you can bring your partner with you this time."
Yi Zhe didn't make any close friends. After all, if not counting Xu Tangcheng, among these classmates, he was actually the closest to Zheng Yikun.
So he nodded and came down.
Zheng Yikun seemed to be really in a hurry, he said in a hurry, turned back to contact him, and went out. But when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around: "By the way, ask your partner to call my primary school principal too."
"Elementary school principal?" YiZhe thought for a while before he understood, "Chengxu?"
"Well, who else would there be?" Zheng Yikun smiled, "It's not impossible for me to call myself, but..."
Hidden and tucked away, Zheng Yikun said half of the words and disappeared.
"Anyway, let him call."
