In August, midsummer, the cicadas are singing very loudly.
Zhou Jingze and Xu Sui respectively received invitations for the centennial celebration of the high school, and were invited to attend the celebration as celebrities of Tianhua Middle School.
The weather was very hot that day, Zhou Jingze and Xu Sui returned to the sky.
Students wearing green and white school uniforms at the school gate passed them by on bicycles and rang the crisp bell. On the basketball court, a group of boys in jerseys ran back and forth in the sun, and their shadows were dragged.
It's like going back to high school all of a sudden.
Zhou Jingze and Xu Sui walked side by side. He raised his hand to pick a leaf above his head, glanced at the students who were still answering the questions on the road, and raised his eyebrows:
"Do you still have classes during the summer vacation?"
Xu Sui replied with a smile: "Make up lessons, you forgot, we all came here like this."
"Tsk, what a tragedy." The young master commented.
The school's Centennial Celebration was held in the auditorium. When Zhou Jingze and Xu followed him in, there was a performance on the stage. The head teacher who taught them was still the same, with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a smile like Maitreya Buddha.
The school leaders were also there, and Zhou Jingze led Xu Sui over to greet him politely.
As soon as the headmaster saw Zhou Jingze, he called out his name accurately, but Xu Sisi, who was at the side, was stunned for a moment, unable to think of a name.
It was the teacher in charge who answered: "Her name is Xu Sui. She was the most obedient and quiet girl in our class back then. She came in second in the college entrance examination, just behind Zhou Jingze!"
The headmaster suddenly realized, and patted himself on the head: "Look at my memory, now that I think of it, it's because you're too ostentatious at school, fighting and causing trouble every day, it's hard for people not to remember."
Zhou Jingze twitched the corner of his mouth carelessly, but did not refute.
"Fortunately, you are a good person, and you are on the right path." The headmaster turned to the podium and smiled, "Why don't you go up and say a few words? Share your successful experience with your fellow students."
With his hands in his pockets, Zhou Jingze put his hands in his pockets, and said lazily, "Don't, I only played games and fell in love in high school. You let me go up. This is not a mistake."
"You boy," the headmaster nodded at him with his hand, his tone helpless, and he turned to look at Xu Sui, "After the school celebration is over, there will be a lecture, Xu Sui will go up and share with the students the experience of preparing for the college entrance examination. Long, just twenty minutes."
"Ah, good." Xu Sui nodded, she was not very good at rejecting people.
The student lectures were held in another ideological and political building. Zhou Jingze exchanged pleasantries with several teachers before leaving the auditorium.
The trees on both sides of the campus corridor are lush, covering the sky and the sun, the branches and leaves grow wildly, the sun leaks through the gaps in the leaves, and the ground is mottled. The two walked on the road one after the other, she walked in front and Zhou Jingze followed.
The main reason is that Xu Sui likes to stop and go, and it is novel to see the school renovate a piece of turf and replace it with a green mailbox.
Zhou Jingze walked slowly behind with his hands in his pockets. I don't know if he was dressed very young today, or it was because he was born a disaster. He attracted the attention of many girls while walking on the road.
"That man is so handsome, his back will kill me."
"The face is also very good, okay, and his hands, good guy, why haven't I seen his profile on the school forum."
"Day, seeing him suddenly feel that those boys on the basketball court are inferior, that's just right."
Soon, some bold girls approached Zhou Jingze. They were wearing obviously shortened skirts and school uniforms that tightened the waistline. A girl with chestnut curly hair called out to him, "Senior."
Zhou Jingze paused. Seeing that there was no one else around, he turned around and pointed at himself with his thumb, thinking it was funny: "Call me?"
"Yes." The girl took the initiative to come forward, and she took out her mobile phone. Her blue cat's-eye nails shone in the sun, and her voice was charming, "Senior, can you add a WeChat account? Let's be friends."
Zhou Jingze raised his eyelids and looked at the person standing not far away under the mailbox who was obviously eavesdropping but pretended to be calm. He smiled, raised his chin, spoke lazily, and said the last words in a gentle tone. Heartless words:
"Not really, you already have a daughter-in-law and a senior."
Zhou Jingze raised his finger and pointed to Xu Sui who was not far away to signal his girlfriend was there, and he continued to speak sarcasticly in an arrogant tone:
"Senior, I just chatted with the director of your academic affairs office. He said that we need to strengthen the collection and management of mobile phones. Your mobile phone—"
The girl's expression changed drastically immediately, she hurriedly clenched her phone tightly, and smiled awkwardly: "I remembered that I still haven't received the test papers, so let's go senior first!"
The girls ran past them arm in arm, Zhou Jingze went to hold Xu Sui's hand, she smiled and avoided her, and said seriously:
"This senior, please respect yourself."
Zhou Jingze touched his left cheek with the tip of his tongue, snorted, and grabbed the back of her neck with the jaws of his palm stuck on it. He was about to clean her up when someone called him not far away.
Zhou Jingze and Xu Sui turned their heads and saw that it was the security guard at the school gate. He was still there. He had been guarding their sky for more than ten years.
He walked over, shook out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to the security uncle, and started chatting with him. What Xu Sui admired was that Zhou Jingze was so charming that he could even become friends with the school's security guard.
Xu followed Zhou Jingze and gestured, indicating that she was going to give a speech in the Sizheng Building, and would call him when it was over. With a cigarette in his mouth, the man touched her eyes and nodded.
In the Sizheng Building, Xu Sui started to give speeches in front of an audience of thousands of people since she was in college, so she was even less nervous when facing her juniors.
Standing calmly on the stage, she confidently and generously shared her experience in preparing for the college entrance examination. At the end, Xu Sui also encouraged everyone present:
"For who you want to be and what you want to do, just be determined to realize it."
There was thunderous applause from the audience, time is indeed a good thing, and the figure of the shy girl walking with her head bowed can no longer be seen on Xu Sui.
The speech ended soon, and the following was a free questioning session. In the audience, a girl was sitting in the last row with her hands raised high, but her face was blocked by a boy.
Xu Sui clicked on the chestnut-haired girl to ask questions. After the girl stood up, she realized that the other party was the one who asked Zhou Jingze for the number under the parasol tree just now.
The sorrel-haired female voice folded her arms, with the rampage of adolescence, and asked loudly, with a domineering tone: "Senior sister, I heard that you only took second place in the college entrance examination, why are you here to share your success experience?"
The originally noisy lecture hall fell silent, and the atmosphere seemed tense. Standing on the podium, Xu Sui was not annoyed, but smiled, calmly:
"It's true that I got second in the exam, but I caught up to the first place in the school."
As soon as the words fell, violent applause and screams erupted from the auditorium, and someone shouted "Senior sister, you are amazing!", and because of Xu Sui's words, the atmosphere among boys and girls began to stir, and some people took advantage of the situation to express their feelings "Sister, then I have the motivation to go to university!".
The atmosphere turned into a mess, and someone asked: "Sister Xu, why do you want to go to a medical university?"
Xu Sui thought about it seriously, and smiled unconsciously when he thought of someone: "I, I went to the University of Medical Sciences because of one person."
After speaking, the atmosphere became even hotter. A serious lecture meeting turned into a gossip press conference. Some people even knocked on the table with test papers to show their excitement.
Amidst the uproar, Xu Sui slowly raised his eyes, and saw Zhou Jingze leaning lazily by the back door with a condescending posture, and he was also looking at her, his gaze was hot and tight.
With a heartbeat, Xu Sui ran off the podium, trotted all the way to Zhou Jingze, and ran into the man's arms amidst the astonished eyes and the sound of whistles.
And he stretched out his arms from the beginning to the end, catching him firmly, smiling and hugging him tightly.
After the lecture, Xu Sui and Zhou Jingze went back to the classroom where they were studying. They were still familiar with the first (third) class of high school. The desks were still light yellow and the paint was peeling off. There was a flowing red flag on the left side of the blackboard, a white ceiling fan, green curtains, and There is summer.
Suddenly, the wind blew up, and the test paper was blown loudly. Xu Sui walked up to the podium, picked up chalk and wrote on the blackboard, writing stroke by stroke:
Senior One (Three) Class
Zhou Jingze Xu Sui
The two names are close together like a permutation.
It's no longer Xu Sui who was secretly delighted all day because someone put their names in the same corner because they were on duty to sweep the floor. She now writes their names openly.
The two walked out of the classroom and went down the stairs together. Xu Sui looked at the mottled corner of the wall and thought of something, and complained softly: "Do you remember that one time during the exercise between classes, I hurried upstairs with a book in my arms and accidentally bumped into it?" I slapped you and apologized to you, you were with a large group of people, but you didn't even look at me."
At that time, the dream bubble fell, and Xu Sui felt extremely lost.
It sounded like something Zhou Jingze would do.
Zhou Jingze's voice was low, he grabbed her arm, and said with a half-smile: "I don't really remember, show me a demonstration?"
Maybe it was because the weather was too hot that day, the atmosphere was too good, or maybe the man in front of him was so handsome, Xu Sui looked up at him, and agreed to do this stupid thing fascinated.
The sunlight poured down from the window sill and was cut into small light spots and fell on the stairs. The shadows of the trees outside shook, and the fragrance of camellias wafted in along the wind.
Xu Sui lowered her head to look at the road, and ran up the stairs in a hurry. The man just went down the stairs. She tried her best to recall the scene at that time. It should be from this angle. She bumped into Zhou Jingze again, raised her eyes and said seriously:
"I bumped into it and then the book fell out, I apologize, and in the end you just passed me by."
After bumping into him, when Xu Sui lowered his head and was about to evacuate to pick up a book, the man grabbed her violently. Xu Sui staggered and fell into the warm chest.
The clear peppermint smell came from Zhou Jingze's body, Xu Sui's lips hit his crooked collarbone, her elbows rested on his chest, she raised her eyes in pain, and bumped into a pair of dark and deep eyes.
The man laughed frivolously, his breath was warm, and his deep voice shook his ears:
"Isn't this caught?"
Before Xu Suiren could react, a cold and beautiful proposal ring was slowly pushed between his fingers, caught off guard but extremely excited.
A heart was about to jump out of his chest, and even the blood under the skin was extremely hot.
Xu Sui carefully looked at the ring between her fingers. The diamond embedded in it shone dazzlingly under the sunlight. She also carefully found that the initials of the two people's names were engraved on the side: X&Z.
Zhou Jingze lowered his head and kissed her knuckles, his voice was as clear and clean as a boy's, his eyes were tightly locked on her, and he smiled:
"Hello, Mrs. Zhou."
Zhou Jingze was dressed very young today. He wore a black hooded sweater, with a straight head and neck, and white sneakers that exposed a part of his ankle. He had a slim figure, high eyebrows, and clean eyes.
She has a bit of a naughty smile, but she is more reliable than anyone else when she is ruffian, and her gentleness is also heart-warming.
Xu Sui looked at him and smiled slowly.
I love you to be frivolous and frank, and your eyes are bright when you smile; I love your majestic mountains, standing there, telling me that the world is still good.
Time went back to the summer of 2007. In an unusually hot class break, many people flocked up the stairs after doing exercises. Everyone wiped their arms. Even the sweat was sticky in the wet summer.
Boys and girls were drowsy from the sun, some held a bottle of mineral water against the steps, and of course some were chasing and playing in the stairwell.
Someone bought a box of iced watermelon from the grocery store, and went upstairs while forking it into his mouth.
Xu Sui ran upstairs with a thick stack of books in his arms, and casually glanced up at the corner. The boy was wearing a baggy black T-shirt, with a loose smile on his face, and his bony hands resting on the seam of his trousers. On the back of the hand, the tattoo on the back of the hand is arrogant and obvious.
He was going downstairs with a group of people against the current, chatting and laughing happily among the crowd, with an expression on his face that was always at ease.
Xu Sui's heart tightened, he quickly retracted the message, and went upstairs with his head down, his fingertips holding the book were trembling, and his body tensed unconsciously. Unexpectedly, the accident happened in the next second.
The boy fighting in the stairwell bumped into Xu Sui from behind, and she slammed into the boy beside her uncontrollably. His heart was beating like a drum. At that time, he felt that he was too thin and his bones were a little bit painful, but the temperature from his shoulders was hot.
Books crashed and fell to the ground one after another.
Xu Sui's blush spread to his ears, and his voice was thin and weak: "I'm sorry."
I don't know if it was too noisy between classes or the boys didn't care, he didn't keep his eyes on the girl for a second longer, and continued talking and laughing with other people, passing her by.
A gloomy emotion flashed across his heart, Xu Sui lowered his eyelashes, knelt down to pick up the book silently.
Hearing his companion complain that he didn't bring a basketball, the boy stopped belatedly and turned to look at her.
The young man looked back, the sun was shining brightly behind him, he saw a girl wearing a green and white school uniform with a ponytail and a curvaceous side face, squatting down to pick up books, her skin was milky white, and at a glance, she caught a glimpse of the girl on the round, white and tender earlobe. There is a small red mole.
Heartbeat.
The boy was about to go forward, when the boy on the fourth floor yelled at the downstairs, beckoning him to come up and get the ball:
"Zhou Jingze! Hurry up."
"coming!"
The bustling flow of people on the stairs, the never-ending chirping of cicadas outside the window, the scorching sun, the hem of the clothes brushed against her arm, very lightly, a gust of draft passed by. The girl looked up and saw a black figure running forward.
Summer is always hot,
So is the boy I love.
