During the third year of high school.
The turning point of life, the most important and critical period of time.
Boys and girls who have just grown up or are on the verge of adulthood, and will grow up to be adults but are still childish stand at the intersection of high school graduation, facing countless forks in the road, they must choose a direction, and then rush to a new life.
When we separated, we always agreed that even if we went to different schools, we would continue to be best friends, but after the life gradually separated, we realized that everyone was living for themselves.
There are no twists and turns, some are just quietly drifting away and leaving no books.
Lu Yong vaguely sensed that the moment of farewell was approaching.
Lu Yong knew very rationally that he was not qualified to ask Shen Wenqiu, that was Shen Wenqiu's life, he was just a friend, telling him that Shen Wenqiu was kind, there was a good reason not to tell him. But no matter how he comforted himself, he was still so distressed that he couldn't sleep all night.
Lu Yong is not worried about the college entrance examination. Their top class is taught quickly. In the second year of senior high school, they finished teaching the content. In the third year of senior high school, they just review and brush up the questions over and over again. Lu Yong is also busy with family and company affairs, so he only distracts himself from the exam , because of the in-depth and solid learning, the grades are very stable and have not fallen behind.
There is still a semester, he did not hear Shen Wenqiu say where he plans to go to university, on the contrary, he has already decided on his ideal university and major, and told Shen Wenqiu 800 years ago.
It was already an adventure that they became good friends in high school. He and Shen Wenqiu grew up in very different environments. They were supposed to never meet each other in their entire lives, but they met by chance and they were as good as before.
Even if Shen Wenqiu didn't say it, Lu Yong probably knew that Shen Wenqiu would not go to the same university with him. Their hobbies and future development plans are completely different, he thought, Shen Wenqiu must inherit the family business, will he choose business or management? Naturally, he also hoped that Shen Wenqiu could go to the most suitable school.
It doesn't matter if he is not in the same school, he can go to Shen Wenqiu as soon as he is on vacation, he is not afraid of trouble or tiredness.
But going abroad is different.
He couldn't easily go abroad to meet Shen Wenqiu, so how about making expensive overseas calls? It is also possible to use the computer for video communication... can it be done? Usually, I would be stuck for a long time when opening a difficult webpage in class, and the traffic fee is also extremely expensive. When they were in high school, communication was far less developed than it is today. There was a network, but the speed of the network was very slow.
Lu Yong doesn't mind these things, he can save money to get a chance to talk to Shen Wenqiu.
But when the time comes, the two of them will be jet-lagged, and they will have to coordinate their time. He can do it. He is willing to cooperate with Shen Wenqiu, but Shen Wenqiu will make more good friends abroad. After meeting those interesting people , would you still be willing to take such trouble to meet him every once in a while
He always asks Shen Wenqiu, will Shen Wenqiu get bored with him? How to grasp this frequency and scale? But he thought that Shen Wenqiu, whom he could see every day, would not be able to see each other for a week or even a month in the future, and he might gradually forget about himself, so he couldn't eat.
Shen Wenqiu’s third year of senior high school has been changed to a general school, and half of the week is spent on evening self-study, and one-on-one private tutors make up lessons and review at home. Nutrition is also good, and he comes to school with a bunch of fruit and snacks every day.
Lu Yong worried for a week, facing the sunny and ignorant Shen Wenqiu, he really couldn't ask, and he himself was haggard.
Shen Wenqiu thought that he was too tired to worry about too many things. Seeing that Tian'er stuffed him with delicious food, he cared about him: "Dayong, are you under too much pressure? I don't think uncle is doing a good job. Is it? Well managed, if not, I'll ask my dad... "
Lu Yong looked at Shen Wenqiu's unreserved enthusiasm and kindness, racked his brains and couldn't figure out why Shen Wenqiu didn't tell him about studying abroad. Is it because he feels that they are not of the same class, even if he tells him, he can't give any good advice? He really wasn't helpful on this one, but he just wanted to know.
Shen asked Qiu why didn't he tell him? Why
The urge to ask Shen Wenqiu became stronger and stronger, Lu Yong suppressed this urge, so that he didn't even want to talk to Shen Wenqiu, and became more and more silent.
The whole person went back gloomy, even though they were at the same table, the two of them didn't talk much, this time it was Lu Yong who ignored Shen Wenqiu.
One day lunch break for self-study
Lu Yong was writing a test paper, to divert his irritability, he glanced at Shen Wenqiu chatting with other students in the corridor, after a while, Shen Wenqiu came back with a letter in his hand.
I used a light pink envelope with cute cartoon patterns printed on it, which looked like a love letter written by a girl.
These days, Shen Wen Qiushou has received a lot of confession letters, and he is about to graduate, no matter whether he can succeed or not, if he doesn't say it, he won't have a chance to say it. He would accept every love letter from Shen Wenqiu and put it away, but he would also reject it without delay, whether it was gentle or cruel.
Lu Yong suddenly became jealous uncontrollably, he was so jealous, why could a girl just say she likes Shen Wenqiu.
And he is a man, or disabled, or someone who can't talk about studying abroad with Shen Wenqiu, he can only watch helplessly, unable to confess to Shen Wenqiu, he is not even qualified to participate in the contestant's seat in this love competition No.
At this time.
Shen Wenqiu handed the letter in front of him.
Lu Yong was puzzled and raised his head: "What is this?"
Shen Wenqiu seemed a little unhappy and said: "A girl I don't know asked me to pass it to you. It must be a love letter."
Lu Yong: "..."
Lu Yong thought: Why did Shen Wenqiu have such an unhappy expression? Could it be that at first he thought it was for him, but it turned out to be for me
Lu Yong took it and put it directly on the desk without looking at it.
Shen Wenqiu pulled the chair over, sat upside down, leaned his arms on the back of the chair, stared at him, and asked in a panic, "Don't you want to read the love letter?"
Lu Yong kept his head down all the time, with a serious attitude towards the questions: "I won't read it for now."
Shen asked Qiu: "Why?"
Lu Yong: "No reason? I just don't want to watch it for now."
Shen Wenqiu chattered: "I really want to know, what's her name? I don't know you, do you? When did you know each other? That girl is quite cute, with a small round face. , her eyes are also round and bright, I think her eyesight is quite good, she has taken a fancy to you... "
Inexplicably, Lu Yong felt that Shen Wenqiu seemed to be pouring fuel into the flames. He was so annoyed that he took out the letter and handed it to Shen Wenqiu: "You can read it if you want."
Shen Wenqiu didn't take it, sat up straight, his eyes were glued to the love letter, and shook his head: "I don't read it, this is your love letter, not mine, I will still respect this personal right to privacy, Who do you think I am..."
After finishing speaking, Shen Wenqiu stood up blankly, as if he wanted to leave, but he didn't know where to go, so he just stood there in a daze.
"Bing ding ding."
The class bell rang, and Shen Wenqiu sat down again.
It's just that the two of them didn't say a word until the evening. After class, Shen Wenqiu ran away to play with others, leaving Lu Yong alone in his seat. Except for going to the bathroom, Lu Yong sat without moving for almost the whole day. Pass.
When Shen Wenqiu was away, he also thought about whether he should read this love letter.
So I took it out, looked outside first, and wrote the girl's name. Lu Yong didn't have any impression. The other party wrote three pages. After reading the first page, Lu Yong probably remembered it. It seems that there was a time He once saw a girl carrying things, so he helped her share half of the load.
He has done this kind of effort a lot, and he didn't remember which one in particular.
Lu Yong couldn't help but get distracted.
He thought, to Shen Wenqiu, is he just a little effort that he doesn't care about
So he envied Shen Wenqiu, who was born in a wealthy family like Shen Wenqiu. The young master grew up in an environment full of love and received so much love. He was bright and generous, so he would not be stingy at all to share a little bit with others. .
But for him who is poor, the little young master's self-feeling insignificant gesture of favor makes him feel like a treasure, which is more precious than everything he owns.
Lu Yong couldn't read any more, so he put the letter away again.
He wouldn't respond anyway.
gym class.
During a rare time to relax, Shen Wenqiu played a game of basketball, but today he was not in a good state and made repeated mistakes.
So he backed out halfway, sat down on the ground, and drank water with a gurgle. Lu Yong saw that he was still thirsty after drinking a bottle of water, so he handed over his water glass.
Shen Wenqiu took the water glass, stood up, and looked directly at him.
Lu Yong said, "Go back and rest."
Shen Wenqiu said "hmm" and followed him to the teaching building, where there was no one else, only the two of them were left, Shen Wenqiu asked: "Do you want to fall in love with that girl?..."
Lu Yong said: "No. I don't like her."
Shen Wenqiu said in a low voice, rambling: "This is the first time you have received a love letter, right? If you don't talk about it, there will be no chance..."
Lu Yong frowned: Is Shen Wenqiu so experienced? Has he already been in love with any girl without telling him? Some boys are like this, even if you don't like it, you can try to date them. Lu Yong said firmly: "No, I will not fall in love with someone I don't like."
Shen Wenqiu's voice stopped abruptly like a broken zither, and then said a short "oh" in frustration.
Evening self-study.
Shen Wenqiu didn't ask for leave today to go home to class, but stayed at school to do homework.
After class on the first night of self-study, Sheng Xu went to chat with Shen Wenqiu next to their seat. The two were chatting about a basketball game, but Lu Yong had no interest in it and couldn't get in the conversation at all.
Shen Wenqiu turned his back to him.
For some reason, Lu Yong wanted to raise his head to take a look. It happened that Sheng Xu was sitting on someone else's table next to him, with his arms folded on his chest, looking down at him with his usual ruffian expression on his face. Xu frowned, as if laughing at him, and said, "Baa, it's not good for us to let Lu Yong not talk to him, right? Let's talk with him. But he doesn't seem to be very clear."
Shen Wenqiu said in a daze, "Lu Yong doesn't understand these things. Even if I tell him, he doesn't know."
Lu Yong was about to explode with anger.
Lu Yong heard the crackling sound, the case of the ballpoint pen he was holding was cracked, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Lu Yong stood up and said, "I'll go out for a while."
Shen Wenqiu also stood up: "Where are you going?"
Lu Yong turned his head and glanced at him coldly: "I'll go alone, don't follow me."
Lu Yong didn't want to continue to stay in the suffocating environment that made him furious. He went downstairs and went straight to the playground. He wanted to run two laps to vent his anger, but before he arrived, he couldn't help running.
The school playground is not lit at night.
There seemed to be a few people on the side of the road. Lu Yong ran halfway and didn't even complete a lap when he was stopped by a girl in surprise: "Lu Yong? Are you here?"
Lu Yong stopped in confusion: "What's the matter?"
The girl shaved her hair anxiously: "You... Didn't you come here because of what I wrote in the letter?"
Lu Yong: "..." He didn't read the letter, so it turned out that he was asked to meet at the playground at night? How is it such a coincidence
Lu Yong stood upright and said to her, "I'm sorry."
The girl understood and nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Lu Yong." He heard Shen Wenqiu's voice, turned around and found Shen Wenqiu standing at the end of the runway.
Lu Yong's scalp was numb, and for a moment he had the illusion of being caught.
Shen Wenqiu trotted over and said to him, "You're walking too fast, do you want me to watch out for you? Recently, the teaching director has been very strict, and they will squat on the side to catch people.... Hehe, what are you talking about?" ,You guys chat."
Shen Wenqiu said such words, but his eyes revealed his sadness.
Like a puppy who is afraid of being abandoned, but also like saying: Didn't you say you are not interested? Why are you rushing to the appointment
Lu Yong said: "No. We're done talking. Let's go back to class."
Then said to the girl: "You should go back quickly, it's quite cold at night, you wear very little clothes, don't catch a cold and get sick."
After speaking, Lu Yong raised his foot and walked back.
Shen Wenqiu took a few steps to follow up: "Did I bother you? Actually, you don't mind me, I seem to be a bit annoying?"
Lu Yong quickened his pace several times, wanting to rush back as soon as possible, but it was still too late, when he was halfway there, he remembered the sudden ringing of the bell.
The feeling of breaking the jar came out.
Lu Yong went from running fast to a sudden stop, and asked abruptly, "Shen Wenqiu, which country and school are you going to study in?"
