The most uncomfortable thing for Jiang Huai was not getting together with Bo Jian, he slept in early this morning and had to get up at six in the morning.
Bo Jian has a strong desire to explore and wants to try everything.
He gave Bo Jian a tie, but Bo Jian used it now... and tied the tie on him. Jiang Huai's hands were tied to his lower back, and his wrists were rubbed red. He wanted to break free, but Bo Jian pressed his hand, smiled lowly and said, "Don't move around... If it's broken, how can I wear it to the defense competition next week?"
"..."
"I fuck you..."
The bulging thin bone cord in his back hit the dormitory door.
Bo Jian gently kissed her lips: "Shhh. The door of the dormitory is not of good quality, and there are other students living next door."
Jiang Huai suddenly stopped talking, his throat was dry and sore.
His eyes were wet, he wanted to cover them with his hands, there were some physical tears, he didn't want Bo Jian to think he was crying. But both Jianghuai hands were tied.
His feet didn't touch the ground, and there was nowhere to support him, so he leaned against the door, relying on Bo Jian to support him.
The door hinges rattled faintly.
This little sound was amplified infinitely in Jiang Huai's mind, making him feel in a trance that the students in the whole corridor could hear it. He wanted to scold Bo Jian, but he didn't dare to speak out.
"Don't be afraid." Bo Jian gently kissed his eyelids: "You can cry for me."
Early in the morning, Chairman Bo sent invitations to Jianghuai students to "brush your teeth together" and "wash your face together" as usual every day.
Usually, Chairman Bo would invite Jiang Huai to stand in line with him and wash up together.
But Jianghuai ignored him this morning.
Sitting by the bed, Bo Jian tugged at the corner of Jiang Huai's T-shirt: "Are you angry?"
"..."
The dormitory light that was broken yesterday did not know when it would be restored by itself. Last night, Bo Jian, a decent classmate who has high requirements for the quality of personal life, even tidied up the messy dormitory before going to bed.
Jiang Huai showed no expression, he casually picked a leaf from the small mint on the windowsill and threw it into his mouth to chew: "Let go."
Little mint leaves died in Jiangkou.
Chairman Bo obediently withdrew his hand.
Fortunately, Jianghuai's monthly exam next week was not affected by Bo Jian's misconduct and performed normally.
The normal level of Jianghuai is just below the top 200.
He is not the kind of student who develops all subjects in a balanced manner. He is biased, and he is seriously biased... But it is not physics that he is crippled now. From the second semester of the second year of high school, to the summer vacation, and to the first semester of the third year of high school, it is not counted as special training. Jiang Huai has privately brushed up at least two sets of "Tianli 38" physics sets. His failure in physics is not because he is stupid, but because Because he basically didn't attend class for the whole year of high school.
He was slow in doing the questions, and in the past half a year, he basically focused on physics.
Now in the comprehensive test of physics, with a score of 110 in physics, he can basically get 95 points steadily.
In terms of mathematics, JAC mathematics has always been okay. Lao Lin is a mathematics teacher. He is notoriously detailed in his lectures, and he doesn't delay after class, but basically he has to ring the bell every time before leaving the classroom to let his classmates come to him to ask questions.
Chemistry and Biology JAC have always done well.
English is not bad, he gets up early and recites frequently. Making an English paper is not as strenuous as doing a math paper. A physics paper is usually a noon. If there is no lunch break, Jianghuai can learn a whole set of English and add a few special exercises to fill in the blanks.
He spends a lot of time studying, but out of some inexplicable competitive psychology, Jiang Huai is reluctant to let Bo Jian see him "forgetting sleep and food" in order to study, so he won't go back to the dormitory during his lunch break to brush up questions , I bought two pieces of bread in the classroom and stayed all afternoon, and left a sentence on WeChat, "I have something to do at noon and I won't go back."
He didn't say anything, but Bo Jian probably knew about it. He also never asked Jianghuai, just replied "yes".
Jiang Huai remembered every number on the back of the "Xiaojiang Summer Vacation Plan" clearly.
If you want to get 688 in the test, the average score of Chinese, Math and English should be 138.
But he still can't take the exam.
Even in the college entrance examination, he may not be able to get a score of "138" in Chinese.
Chinese is now the most lame subject in JAC.
He didn't put much thought into it, even if he recited it temporarily, it wouldn't be of much use. Although he scored 55 in Chinese composition in the last exam and was listed as a "model composition for grades", his total Chinese score was only 110.
The full score of one volume is 90, but he only scored 55 points.
Efforts will make progress, but Jianghuai estimates that he will start learning Chinese every day, recite Chinese every day, and live in the office of the Chinese team of the Ministry of Education... He can't even get 138 in Chinese in the college entrance examination.
Going home on the weekend, Jiang Huai hastily wrote a few words in pencil on the back of "Xiaojiang Summer Vacation Plan".
He set a goal of getting 128 in Chinese in the college entrance examination.
The remaining ten points will be taken from Beko.
The octavo paper of "Xiaojiang Summer Vacation Plan" is getting more and more tattered. It was originally a messy and unattractive summer vacation study plan that only Jianghuai himself could understand...
But now the back is almost filled with his writing.
They are all Arabic numerals that only JAC itself knows the meaning of.
After entering the third year of high school, time became more and more urgent.
When teachers of various subjects get angry, they often say a word: "Do you know how many days are left before the college entrance examination? Don't you know how to work hard?"
It's like there is a wall, blocking people out of breath.
The classmates became more and more bored.
For the first time, Jianghuai discovered that the college entrance examination is such a heavy thing. It is tied to the future and weighs heavily on people's heads, making people feel uneasy all day long. It’s not that he doesn’t work hard, he stays in the classroom at noon to do the quizzes, and there are always others who haven’t left and are doing the quizzes. Sometimes after washing up, he goes outside the dormitory building after eleven o’clock to breathe, and the study room on the first floor is always lit. . He didn't know what time the light was going to go off, and he hadn't seen it.
He had never seen or thought of such things.
The college entrance examination is a heavy thing for him, but it has nothing to do with the future.
He never thought of reading for the future.
He reads for the moment.
Do something he wants to do.
Sometimes he did too many questions and got dizzy, and Jiang Huai wanted to smoke again, but he just brought the cigarette case and lighter to the dormitory, and before they were opened, the cigarettes disappeared and turned into a can of sticks lollipop.
Jiang Huai could only go to the rooftop with a lollipop in his mouth to blow a breeze.
He thought: Today is okay, tomorrow can be expected.
On New Year's Day, a thin layer of snow finally fell.
It fell the night before the New Year's Day holiday. Jiang Huai was sleeping in the dormitory when he heard a sound like the sound of rain. He got up to look, and opened the curtains by a corner, and the window sill was covered with a thin layer of snow half as thick as half a finger, which couldn't even cover the color of the marble tiles.
Before he opened the window, he wiped the snow with his fingers and rubbed the back of his neck. The young man put his arm through his waist, hugged him, and said lazily and dumbly: "Why did you get up secretly?"
Bo Jian raked Jiang Huai's soft hair with his fingers.
They're all asleep, yet they still don't remove the hair tie, Chairman Bo thought to himself.
So Chairman Bo took Jianghuai's headband and put it on his wrist.
Jiang Huai paused, still too lazy to argue with Bo Jian: "It's snowing."
"Um."
"I got up to watch the snow," he turned his head, "what are you doing up?"
It wasn't long before I fell asleep, and it was not twelve o'clock.
Bo Jian raked her boyfriend's hair, who just woke up from sleep, his eyes were still wet. Jiang Huai's hair has grown a bit, reaching below the shoulders.
He originally wanted to sleep on Jiang Huai's bed while Jiang Huai was asleep.
But JAC is now awake.
"I was woken up by you." Bo Jian kissed Jiang Huai's face: "I can't sleep now...let's do it once."
JAC: "..."
Bo Jian was fierce in doing it, but it was very late when he did it.
The sound insulation of the dormitory is not good, it seems that he is only satisfied when he sees Jiang Huai's eyes sour and cannot help crying.
Jiang Huai felt very fucked.
During the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, Jianghuai basically stayed at home, and occasionally went out to skateboard for an hour or two. When he was at home on vacation, President Jiang always thought that her poor son had been abused at school, had to do homework 23 hours a day, and wished he could turn vegetables into flowers every day.
A fire broke out at the city gate, which affected the fish in the pond. Ah Cai was affected by Jianghuai and gained two or three catties of weight.
But on the last day of the holiday, Jiang Li suddenly said that a friend was looking for her and went out all morning.
Jiang Huai didn't talk much, and he didn't communicate much with Jiang Li, but he generally knew Jiang Li's social circle.
Because Jiang Li has almost no friends, she has spent all her time at work these years, not dating, and not going out to have dinner with friends. There are customers.
Jiang Li has worked abroad for five or six years, and it is even more impossible to have any friends in China.
In fact, Jiang Huai almost guessed it a long time ago.
Jiang Li didn't come back until noon. Carrying a bag of vegetables, she was in a good mood and changed her coat and shoes. Ah Cai was lying on the carpet in the living room playing with a drawing board, and Jiang Huai was rarely bored in the room today, drinking water slowly outside.
Jiang Li came over and smiled: "What do you want for lunch?"
Jiang Huai put down the water bottle, took the food from her hand, and asked casually, "Alpha or Beta?"
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Huai raised his eyes: "Men and women?"
Jiang Li was silent.
"It's nothing." Jiang Huai carried the vegetables and wrote lightly: "If you want to consider getting married in the future, you always have to introduce me in advance whether I have an extra stepfather or stepmother."
Jiang Li glanced at Ah Cai nervously. She hesitated for a while: "You guessed it already?"
"Yeah." He replied.
"There's nothing to say." Jiang Li was a little embarrassed when she said this to her son. She wrung her hands and didn't know how to express it: "It's an Alpha uncle... He pursued me, but I didn't agree. He's my boss. The past few days Come back to China one day and ask me what I think.”
Jiang Huai was dragged by Jiang Li to the kitchen by pulling his clothes. She closed the door softly, without Ah Cai hearing.
Jiang Huai asked: "Then do you like him?"
"How old am I? I don't know whether I like it or not," Jiang Li frowned. "Marriage is not something that can be decided with a slap on the head. There are too many things to consider, and feelings are only a part... You are still young and don't understand these things." .”
Jiang Huai said honestly: "Then you just like it."
Jiang Li: "..."
Jiang Li was still embarrassed, embarrassed to say these things to her son: "Forget it, you don't have to worry about these things, you can study at ease, and I won't think about these things before your college entrance examination... What's for lunch, can I have stewed beef brisket with potatoes?"
Jianghuai did not return. He looked at Jiang Li: "Then what else do you want to consider? Family conditions?"
"This must also be considered."
"Then what are his conditions?"
Jiang Huai didn't express much, but clenched his hands.
He thought that Jiang Li was so secretive... Don't fucking find him a "stepfather" in his early twenties.
He can do anything else, just let him yell at a man who is not a few years older than him... he can't even yell uncle.
Jiang Li hesitated and said, "He... didn't he tell you, he is my boss."
"how old?"
Jiang Li: "More than forty."
She saw her son suddenly heaved a sigh of relief: "Oh."
Jiang Li frowned: "He was also divorced and has a daughter who is two years older than you. He came back to China these two days mainly to find me and ask me how I feel... He also wants to meet you, I didn't agree. He's not just my boss, he's my boss."
She looked at Jiang Huai cautiously: "What do you think?"
"Boss of a listed company." Jiang Huai slightly raised his eyebrows: "Am I going to be the second generation rich?"
Jiang Li: "...can you say something serious?"
"Seriously," Jiang Huai lowered his head, "it doesn't matter whether you get married or not, as long as you think you will be happy."
The high school calendar has counted down.
It's set to be March 1st.
There has always been a saying that "one model grade is almost the same as your college entrance examination score", so before the winter vacation, the parent group became active, actively exchanged educational experiences, and shared with group friends every day "The seniors who took the college entrance examination last year told you that the college entrance examination is difficult. To get a good grade, you have to do this during the holidays!", "The teacher of the national college entrance examination questioning group will guide you how to cover the knowledge points of the college entrance examination more efficiently!", "It turns out that the top students who got 680 in the exam study in this way! You Let’s see what you’ve learned?” This type of QQ highlights and circle of friends articles with the theme of the college entrance examination.
Jianghuai is very fortunate that Mr. Jiang never brushes up the parent group.
He couldn't bear it.
New Year's Eve falls at the end of January.
The weather is warm this winter, and there has been no snowfall until the end of the year. Jiang Li has not been at home for the New Year for many years, but this time she is at home, it is much more lively.
Jianghuai doesn't know how to make dumplings, and Ah Cai can't count on them. The two of them have to rely on takeaways for the New Year at home.
But not this year.
Jiang Li has been busy since noon. Today's New Year's Eve, Jianghuai did not arrange a review, took the skateboard out to play in the afternoon, and did not come back until dark. It's dark and early in winter, and it's actually only after five o'clock. Boss Jiang was still in and out of the kitchen. She cooked porridge, made stuffing, stewed soup, and made some other sauced meat and sausages.
Jiang Huai took the skateboard to the door and peeked in: "Do you want me to help you later?"
Jiang Li is kneading the dough. She glanced at Jianghuai's dirty skateboard and dirty hands, and frowned: "Go change your shoes, change your coat, and wash your hands. You don't need it."
"… Oh."
This is the most leisurely year JAC has ever lived.
He is not disabled at the third level, and he can still help Boss Jiang with some tasks, but Jiang Li has never let him into the kitchen.
Today, Jiang Huai didn't want to study either, so he and Ah Cai squatted on one side, barefoot on the carpet and on the plastic checkers.
Ah Cai's calf was congenitally deformed. He had surgery when he was a child, but he still couldn't look like a normal child.
But President Jiang said that next year, she would send Ah Cai abroad for corrective surgery. When she resumes work, it will be convenient to bring Ah Cai with her. It just so happened that Jiang Huai went to college, she went to work, and Ah Cai was left alone at home with no one to care about.
Jianghuai has no objection to this.
Ah Cai changed to a new school, and the new teachers and classmates treated her very well, but she was still physically disabled.
After playing the small plastic checkers for an hour, Jiang Huai easily won five of Ah Cai.
A Cai lost in despair, devastated, holding his checkers box and left angrily.
Jiang Huai squinted his eyes slightly, propping up his palms, and sat on the carpet.
The TV that was turned on was still playing the news feed.
He suddenly felt as if he was not alone.
Or rather, he wasn't alone a long time ago.
The Spring Festival Gala was broadcast until after midnight.
From this year to next year, from the old year to the new year.
The TV party was noisy, but Ah Cai was still lying on the carpet watching his own cartoon. The dining table was full of vegetables and soups. Mr. Jiang cooked a lot of dishes. After a busy night, he is still cleaning the kitchen.
Jiang Huai leaned against the window, looking down at the TV.
When it was 11:59, a slightly transparent time clock was displayed in the upper right corner of the central station.
11:59:01
11:59:02
11:59:03
…
There was a weak air-conditioning leaking from the window slits.
countdown.
ten seconds.
The singing and dancing of the party on TV is over, and there is still a beaming red, and the hosts count down the last moment until the new year: "Ten, nine, eight..."
Jiang Huai made a voice call to "BJ".
"seven… "
Bo Jian took it.
Jiang Huai smiled lazily: "It's pretty fast."
"six… "
Bo Jian said softly, "I wanted to call you at first."
"That's a coincidence." Jiang Huai said.
The voice of the TV is boiling.
"Five, four..."
Jiang Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, the window was pitch black, and a bunch of fireworks shot up in a "swish-", sparks splashed in all directions, like sparks that ignited and extinguished.
"Whoosh", another flower.
The sound of sharp and piercing fireworks exploded suddenly and frequently, like sparks all over the sky, gold, red, blue and purple, all bursting together.
The final countdown of the Spring Festival Gala: "Three, two, one!"
The transparent timer in the upper right corner goes to 00:00.
It was very noisy, but Jiang Huai could hear Bo Jian's very light breathing.
"Did you hear that?" He whispered, "Fireworks."
