For Meng Shengnan, if one color could be used to describe the whole year of high school, the answer would be gray and black.

Endless exams, soaring pimples, more and more insomnia, and the body seems to collapse when the wind blows. The air pressure in the classroom was always low, and Fu Song didn't say a word all day. Nie Jing was transferred to the fourth group and separated from them. The new tablemate is shy, and like Fu Song, they both go to prestigious schools, except for Xue Lin and her occasionally joking and squabbling.

If I had to say something to make her happy, it should be an unintentional coincidence, the long-awaited announcement of the deep sea boy.

In January of the same year, she participated in the 7th semi-finals, and an article "Mr. De and Mr. Sai" paid off.

On the first day of 2006, Qi Qiao went roller skating with her to celebrate winning the composition competition. At that time, there were already many people in the roller skating rink, and both of them rented four-wheeled roller skates. Qi Qiao put it on first, and said: "I took a look, everyone here has two rounds, is it a bit—"

Meng Shengnan was bending over to tie his shoelaces without raising his head: "Then why don't you get two instead."

"It's your fault."

"That's not my plan."

Qi Qiao made a 'cut', "Are you a buddy, my son will call you godmother in the future."

Meng Shengnan stood up crookedly, smiled, and said, "What does that have to do with you?"

"I go."

"Where are you going?"

Qi Qiao fainted.

Meng Shengnan moved two steps: "The balance is not bad."

The two have been here once or twice before, and they are not newbies. However, it is not very skilled. The stability of the four wheels is good and the balance is high, and it can barely be played coolly. The two wheels are difficult. Fortunately, both of them have self-knowledge.

In the center of the venue, there are men and women with hippie smiling faces, all boys and girls aged seventeen or eighteen.

Qi Qiao played first, followed by Meng Shengnan.

There were a lot of people, and she slid along the railing. As soon as she was on her way, she heard someone calling her from behind, but she couldn't hear clearly through the noise, so she stopped. Looking back, I saw a strange yet familiar smiling face.

"Don't know?"

The boy laughed, the sun was shining brightly.

Meng Shengnan was stunned for a moment before realizing: "Li Wei?"

"I thought you forgot about me when you went to the liberal arts class, and I rarely saw you."

Meng Shengnan was a little embarrassed by what he said.

Li Wei glanced at her with raised eyebrows: "It's not cold with the heater here, you still wear a scarf, covering half of your face, I almost can't recognize it."

Meng Shengnan smiled, then retracted his chin into the scarf calmly.

"How's your review?"

Meng Shengnan said, "It's average, how about you?"

"Me? You also know that my English is terrible. It would be nice to have a diploma."

Meng Shengnan thought of Chi Zheng, and he, too, had poor English.

"Have you thought about where to take the exam?" Li Wei asked.

"not yet."

The two were chatting, when Li Wei suddenly raised his head and called out behind her: "Hi, Chi Zheng."

Meng Shengnan was shocked.

Li Wei said with a smile: "My junior high school classmate, I came to play together, let me introduce you."

"ah?"

Li Wei joked: "Don't worry, just get to know him, he has a girlfriend."

Meng Shengnan retracted his chin even more, suppressed his nervous heartbeat and turned around slowly.

The boys have come over.

She couldn't remember the last time she met him, and it seemed like it was yesterday, fresh and straight. The boy was wearing a black shirt and jeans with a black down jacket and an open zipper. He put his hands in his pockets, approached, glanced at Meng Shengnan indifferently, and landed on Li Wei.

"Come so early?"

Li Wei smiled: "It's rare to play, you are the master who can't hold back, why are you late today?"

The boy licked his tongue and said, "There's something wrong."

Meng Shengnan lowered his head slightly, half of his face buried in the scarf.

She was thinking about how to find an excuse to leave, but Li Wei had already said, "Let me introduce you, I am at the same table as Meng Shengnan."

The boy just looked over, and Meng Shengnan slightly raised his eyes and nodded slightly. He didn't say his name, just nodded slightly and moved away with just one glance. Li Wei might not be satisfied with his reaction, he turned his thumb sideways to Meng Shengnan, and raised his voice an octave: "Don't underestimate it, the English test is never lower than 130."

Meng Shengnan was really ashamed.

The boy looked foolish again, and smiled, "How dare you."

He should have a little impression of her, even if he doesn't have a deep impression, he might still remember the girl who suddenly appeared that night when he had a fight with the class monitor. At least there should be a little impression, or maybe it has been forgotten, Meng Shengnan thought. Under the scarf, she bit her mouth lightly, and the acne on her chin hurt a little again.

"Well, let's talk, I have to leave first." She looked at Li Wei and said.

Li Wei frowned: "Why are you in a hurry, we finally met once."

Meng Shengnan smiled slightly: "Next time, it's really something."

Regardless of Li Wei's various obstructions, he finally pulled out. She took off her skates and stepped out. The sun is fine outside, but the wind blowing into your neck will still make you shiver.

In the venue, Li Wei sighed: "I still want to treat her to a meal."

Chi Zheng glanced at him, lit a cigarette, and said, "Did you like it?"

Li Wei: "You think I am your mind is too impure."

Chi Zheng smiled.

"Where's your Zhao Yourong?"

Chi Zheng raised his eyes: "Are you asking me?"

"nonsense."

"have no idea."

Li Wei shrugged, "Okay, it's nothing to ask."

Chi Zheng turned his head slightly to look at the gate of the roller skating rink thoughtfully, arched his tongue on his right cheek, and turned back after a while.

Li Wei said, "Bibi?"

"Success."

Chi Zheng took a drag on his cigarette and glanced at Li Wei. Li Wei rented two pairs in the past, Chi Zheng bit his cigarette and put on the shoes. Then he stood up, threw the remaining cigarette butts into the trash can at will, pointed his chin at one place and raised his head, "How is it?"

Li Wei said: "I am willing to bet and admit defeat."

The venue looked lively again. Qi Qiao just turned around and looked for Meng Shengnan, only to find that she had already gone out. At that moment, the girl was sitting on the bench under the opposite stop sign, in a daze.

Qi Qiao walked over, "Why did you come out?"

Meng Shengnan raised his head, paused before saying, "Oh, it's a bit stuffy."

"It's a pity." Qi Qiao also sat down.

"What a pity?"

Qi Qiao said: "There is a competition inside. It's very exciting, like a lunatic. It's just that bastard and hooligan in our No. 9 middle school."

"oh."

On that sunny afternoon, the two girls sat on that bench and talked for a long time. One car goes, the next one comes again. The youthful years that belonged to them disappeared bit by bit, and they could never go back.

After the Spring Festival, summer comes unexpectedly.

At that time, the college entrance examination was imminent, and the science and liberal arts on the third floor of the high school had very few students coming out for a stroll. Meng Shengnan hadn't seen him for a long time. Later, he seemed to pass by the Pizza Hut at the school gate on his way home from school, and saw him walking in with a girl.

Then, it was May and June.

That day, Meng Shengnan was doing the real exam papers for the college entrance examination, and the ones in Beijing were always a bit difficult. She asked Fu Song, and the boy told her in detail. Meng Shengnan took notes while listening, and when he didn't understand, he asked, "Why do you want to make auxiliary lines here?"

Fu Song asked: "Have you seen this condition, you have to use it until you know it?"

"Oh, I get it."

After a while, Fu Song called her name from behind.

"What's wrong?"

"It occurred to me that there was another way."

Meng Shengnan immediately shook his head, "Forget it, I just know one kind."

Fu Song smiled, paused and asked, "Have you thought about where to take the exam?"

"not yet."

Fu Song didn't speak, and Meng Shengnan asked, "You must be in the University of Science and Technology of China, right?"

Slowly, the boy shook his head: "No."

This time, Meng Shengnan was dumbfounded.

"Then where are you going to take the exam?"

Fu Song shook his head: "Let's see then."

Meng Shengnan didn't ask any more questions, but turned around and continued with the questions. In another month, they will go their separate ways, perhaps not seeing each other for many years. She suddenly had a very sad feeling, no more, no more.

During that time, the students in the class were flying all over the place.

Xue Lin was the most active in their area, standing on the podium after school in the evening self-study and directly blocking the whole class. From the first person on the left in the first row of a group, the classmate record is distributed to everyone, and it will be collected from the starting point tomorrow morning.

She was sitting in her seat, laughing the whole time.

In those few days, my classmates wrote until their hands became weak. Meng Shengnan is writing almost after class, and likes the motto on his birthday. What's more interesting is that I heard that the boys in a class hugged everyone one by one after a night of self-study. Qi Qiao smiled and said to her, "Do you believe it?"

"What?"

"That boy must have a crush on a certain girl in his class."

"how do you know?"

Qi Qiao smiled mysteriously: "Have you never heard of a word?"

"Which one?"

"In order to hug her at graduation, I hugged the whole class one by one."

Meng Shengnan was emotional.

Qi Qiao despised: "You still write novels, you don't even know about it."

Meng Shengnan: "..."

Later, I received graduation gifts from my classmates intermittently, including pens, stickers, water cups, scarves, everything, and a small yogurt box. The graduating class of the school has gone completely crazy, and the craze will not abate. Meng Shengnan's review was also coming to an end, in fact, the morning and evening exams were not too bad.

That weekend in mid-May, she made an appointment with Qi Qiao to buy a small gift as a return according to the photo.

After shopping and going to the bookstore, Qi Qiao followed her.

"Buy it for you or give it away?"

Meng Shengnan said, "Give it away."

Qi Qiao was thoughtful: "It's rare to see you giving books to others."

Meng Shengnan didn't say a word, and looked for rows of books.

"That boy in your class?" Qi Qiao thought to herself.

"not him."

"Then who is it, male or female?"

Meng Shengnan stopped and glanced at her: "I like girls."

After coming down, no matter how Qi Qiao asked her, she would avoid the important ones. It wasn't until she visited several bookstores that she found the one she wanted. Qi Qiao leaned over and took a look: "It's so profound, who are you giving it to?"

Meng Shengnan paid the bill and walked out with the book in his arms.

"Speak or not?"

Meng Shengnan stopped, thought for a while and said, "A person I don't know."

"What's the meaning?"

At that time, the afterglow shrouded the earth, and the sunset glow was red. Meng Shengnan's eyes fell far away, as if he saw a skyline horizontally in the air.

She said to Qi Qiao: "I want him to know where he went."
