"Let's make an appointment." Sun Yuhe said.

Xu Hui nestled on the sofa and did not move, Sun Yuhe pushed him, "Huh? Make an appointment."

Xu Hui buried his face in the cushion, Sun Yuhe: "What's going on?"

After pushing and shoving for a while, Sun Yuhe became a little impatient.

"Not to mention that I'm leaving, it's already midnight, what kind of pure love are these two elders playing here?"

Sun Yuhe stood up, making a gesture to go outside, took a peek back a few steps away, and found Xu Hui hugging his body, buried his face, motionless.

Sun Yuhe hesitated for a moment, then walked back.

"Hey." Touching Xu Hui's shoulder, Sun Yuhe said, "What's wrong?"

Xu Hui shook his head slowly, sat up from the sofa, and took a cigarette.

"never mind."

After lighting the fire, for a few seconds of idle time, the light of the fire reflected on his face, expressionless.

"No fun..."

The lighter was thrown on the table, and Xu Hui leaned back in the chair with a cold expression.

Sun Yuhe stepped back and sat aside, "Don't do this again."

Xu Hui turned his head, "How?"

Sun Yuhe and him looked at each other for a few seconds, then shrugged, "If you want to forget it, forget it, I was thinking about whether I should help you."

Xu Hui sneered, "I need your help after chasing a woman?"

Sun Yuhe: "Then you do it yourself."

Xu Hui turned his head, stared at the corner of the coffee table in the dark, and remained silent.

Sun Yuhe said again: "Can you stop being awkward?"

Xu Hui: "Why am I awkward?"

"Yes." Sun Yuhe clapped his hands: "That's it. Someday you call someone out and let me meet the head office. Which school is she from?"

Xu Hui shook his head, "I don't know."

Sun Yuhe asked a few more questions, and Xu Hui shook his head.

Only then did he realize that he knew nothing about this girl except her name and mobile phone number.

Sun Yuhe: "According to what I said, you call people out, and I will take Huizi with me to play together."

Xu Hui heard this and said, "It's been a long time since you brought Keiko out."

Huizi's name is Chen Hui, she is Sun Yuhe's girlfriend, childhood sweetheart, she grew up together, one year older than Sun Yuhe, and now works in a restaurant.

"She's busy with work."

"...Damn it." Xu Hui couldn't help cursing, "A group of girls, what are you doing..."

"What? She's busy too?" Sun Yuhe said, "What's her name?"

Xu Hui: "Egrets, a group of egrets go up to the blue sky."

"How about my proposal? It just so happens that I haven't gone out with Keiko for a long time."

Xu Hui remained silent, Sun Yuhe knew that he had agreed, got up and said, "Then make an appointment with her, and just tell me when the time comes, I'll ask Huizi again."

After standing for a while, Sun Yuhe said, "Did you hear that?"

Xu Hui hummed lightly.

After school officially starts, the counting board on the wall looks even more creepy.

"I just said that this number cannot be written with a red pen." Li Siyi said, "Every time I see it, it is bloody."

"How many or how many should be written?" Wu Hanwen said.

"Hey, you're ready." Li Siyi patted Wu Hanwen on the shoulder, "My buddy hasn't been found yet."

After Wu Hanwen finished the exam, he seemed to be returning triumphantly. The teacher came to ask how he was feeling, and Wu Hanwen said that the exam was very good.

He is also in a more relaxed mood, and no longer runs to the study room eight hundred times a day like before. For more than a week, I have been walking around the campus leisurely with a thick English book in my hand every day. Sometimes I even went downstairs to play basketball with the boys in the class in physical education class.

Just played worse.

Wu Hanwen wiped the sweat off his forehead, and threw the ball to his classmate, "Play first, I can't take it anymore."

"So, God is fair." Li Siyi, who was sitting on the side enjoying the cool air, said to Wu Hanwen, "God gave you a flexible brain, but it can't give you coordinated limbs."

Wu Hanwen's physical strength is indeed poor, and he was out of breath after a while, "Calm down..."

Li Siyi handed him the level and said, "Teacher Bao asked you to help with the registration form for the sports meeting, have you done it yet?"

Wu Hanwen sat on the steps to one side to rest, "Why, what project do you want to apply for?"

"Are you kidding me!" Li Siyi slapped Wu Hanwen on the back, and said, "Although our relationship is so strong, as the saying goes, distance creates beauty, and you should properly forget me."

Wu Hanwen smiled, "No way, there are not many boys in our class, and we rarely sign up on our own initiative. When it's your turn, you have to get in."

Li Siyi was crying on the side, stopped halfway through howling, pushed Wu Hanwen's arm, and raised his chin in one direction.

Bai Lu was sitting under the flag raising platform.

With her knees together and her head down, she didn't know what to write.

"Why is she alone all the time?" Li Siyi said, "never play with other girls."

Wu Hanwen looked at Bai Lu and said, "She used to have a good relationship with Jiang Ru, but now that Jiang Ru is gone, she talks less than before."

When Jiang Ru was mentioned, Li Siyi couldn't help but sigh.

"Silly girl, silly girl."

The people around stood up.

When a shadow appeared in front of her, Bai Lu put her phone away.

"What are you doing?" Wu Hanwen came to her side.

"Nothing."

Wu Hanwen pointed at her, "Secretly playing with my phone, I found out."

Bai Lu turned her head, "Are you a disciplinary committee member?"

Wu Hanwen: "The purpose of the third year of high school is 'learning is everything'. According to the recursive relationship, I am the study committee member and play a leading role among the class cadres."

Bai Lu smiled.

The wind blows away the sweat.

"Go back to the classroom." Bai Lu looked at him and said, "The weather is going to be cold."

Before Wu Hanwen could respond, Bai Lu stood up by herself.

She walked a few steps in the direction of the teaching building, stood still, and turned to Wu Hanwen and asked, "Is it okay that I don't have my student number for the sports meeting?"

Her voice was so soft that Wu Hanwen was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously nodded.

"sureā€¦ "

Bai Lu said thank you, or maybe she didn't, and walked into the teaching building.

"It's true that a woman is worth a thousand dollars, and a brother is not as good as a dog."

Li Siyi came out of nowhere, looked at the direction where Bai Lu disappeared with Wu Hanwen, and said with emotion.

Wu Hanwen came back to his senses, pushed him, and the two of them laughed and hit each other.

Before the PE class was over, Bai Lu came to an empty classroom on the first floor with her mobile phone.

Xu Hui sent a text message for the third time, and his tone was already very impatient.

"Will it work or not, can you tell me more clearly?"

Bai Lu finally replied.

"Okay, but the time is on the twenty-ninth."

Xu Hui replied: "Can you answer the phone?"

Bai Lu got up and closed the classroom door.

Xu Hui's phone call came in.

"Number 29? So late?"

"Well, I couldn't walk away before."

Xu Hui was silent for a while, hearing the sound as if he was lighting a cigarette.

"So busy all day long, the President of the country?"

Even if she couldn't see it, Bai Lu shook her head, "I'm not as busy as Chairman."

Xu Hui snorted, "Then twenty-nine, we can settle it."

"Can."

"Let's get back in touch then."

The phone hangs up.

Bai Lu turned her head, the windows of the classroom were not closed, there was a grove of trees next to it, behind them were students laughing and playing, their voices sounded a little far away.

What is more distant is the glow of the sky and the red clouds in the evening.

Bai Lu sat alone in the room until the bell rang for the end of get out of class.

Wu Hanwen did what he said.

Three nights before the sports meeting, Wu Hanwen posted the registration form for the sports meeting on the class blackboard.

When I went to school the next day, someone who didn't know something good took advantage of the class cadre's inattention and filled in the word "quilt" in front of the registration form, which made the whole class laugh.

"That's enough." Teacher Bao rarely showed a smile, "Then have you all read the 'Registration Form'?"

"finish watching!"

"Remember your own projects, when the time comes to get the number, the class committee will arrange our table a little bit."

The sports meeting will be followed by the National Day, and the school dare not lose face on the National Day, and the senior year of high school will be given three days off. This was the only "long vacation" in the last year. The students couldn't hide their excitement, and the atmosphere of the whole school became restless.

Li Siyi was very unlucky, and was assigned to the men's 3000 meters, and Wu Hanwen was beaten to death like a mourner.

Wu Hanwen dodged his clutches, "No way, to be fair, I didn't share it alone."

"Bah! Fair?" Li Siyi gritted his teeth and said, "Then why didn't someone get it?"

Bai Lu happened to be away from the classroom, so Wu Hanwen said generously, "There are so many girls, so they were free."

"How can it be so empty?"

"You must choose someone with a good physique. If you are too weak, you will not be able to go."

Li Siyi narrowed his eyes, hissed and said: "Okay, why are you so unreasonable, how can you say it, teach me."

When Bai Lu came back from the bathroom, Wu Hanwen turned to read the book again.

The day before the sports meeting, the squad leader led the class cadres to arrange the stands for the sports meeting. In the third grade of high school, I have participated in two sports meetings, and now I am far less interested in competitions than in holidays.

School is over early in the afternoon, and the whole teaching building is immersed in a festive atmosphere. The director of the teaching department who usually manages this and that is also letting the students run and make noise in the corridor at this time.

Bai Lu packed her things and her backpack was ready to go.

"Hey!"

Turning around, Wu Hanwen was fighting against a pile of ribbons behind him, "Come and help me."

Bai Lu walked over to help him tidy up the ribbons. Wu Hanwen looked up from the ribbons and asked, "What time are you coming tomorrow?"

Bai Lu paused inadvertently, and then continued to tidy up.

"You don't have a project, so how about coming early to issue a sign to the class committee?" Wu Hanwen looked at Bai Lu with a smile, and said, "Make some contributions, and I'll give you free chocolates when the time comes."

"Have you bought chocolate?"

"Well, I bought it for the class fee, as well as glucose, to replenish the physical strength of the athletes."

"Athletes..." Bai Lu smiled, and Wu Hanwen was also amused, "Li Siyi said, it's also called the completion of the game when you walk down, and all the players on the field are athletes."

After helping to arrange the ribbons, Bai Lu said goodbye to Wu Hanwen and went home with her schoolbag on her back.

Wu Hanwen didn't remember until after she had left, and he hadn't asked what time she would arrive at school the next day.

The next day, Bai Lu left home. Before leaving, her mother packed a small lunch box for her, which contained food, melons and fruits.

Bai Lu went out to take the bus, and an hour later, she arrived at the commercial pedestrian street in the city center.

On the bluestone tile floor, with a thin morning mist, the rubber-soled shoes were slightly slippery.

In the early morning, there are very few people on the pedestrian street.

Beside the fountain was a tall old locust tree. When Bai Lu arrived, Xu Hui was standing under the tree.

He was wearing a black hoodie, jeans, and light-colored sneakers.

He stood quietly under the tree, without a bag, but his back was slightly bent.

The side profile, just like that day when it was raining.
