On the night of early August, the city was as hot as a steamer.
The bus turned a corner on the bustling main road, and after entering a narrow alley, the speed slowed down.
Yongning Lane, a well-known settlement of foreign population in City A.
At night, the whole street is intertwined with lights and the voices of people. Motorcycles that stop and go, bustling small vendors, young people hooking shoulders, and all kinds of cries, shouts, and brakes together form a beautiful scene. This vivid picture of city life.
It's a pity that Ruan Yue, who worked overtime until ten o'clock, had no time to appreciate it.
She sweated all over on the bus, and was eager to go back to take a shower to relieve her exhaustion. When she got off the bus, she hugged her bag tightly and plunged into the crowded crowd at the alley.
The rental house is on the fifth floor without an elevator. She climbed upstairs with her bag in her hand. After opening the door, she saw Lu Chen reclining on the sofa. Hearing the sound of the door, he didn't turn his head back, and asked casually, "How much money can you earn by working so late every day?"
"It's like this during the summer vacation, and there are a lot of tutoring students."
Holding the bag with one hand propped against the wall, Ruan Yue bent down to change her shoes, and while walking inside, she had a panoramic view of everything in the room.
The small apartment they rented has one bedroom, one kitchen and one bathroom, and no living room. In a twenty-square-meter bedroom, there is a bed against the wall inside, and a small sofa and coffee table outside.
At this moment, the open fast food box was thrown on the coffee table, Lu Chen folded his long legs by the side of the lunch box, and played with his phone with his head down.
Ruan Yue hung the bag in his hand on the hanger, turned around and saw him like this, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and asked in a negotiating tone as much as possible: "Can you clean up this garbage after every meal?"
"Um."
Guessing to play games, the answer was extremely perfunctory.
Ruan Yue glanced at him, sighed silently, and bent over to pack the lunch box.
She lived a prosperous life since she was a child, and she loves cleanliness very much, and she can't see the mess in her house. When I was renting a house, I was actually reluctant to come to the old city, but because I had a conflict with my mother before, I insisted on staying in the provincial capital city for development and was slapped by reality. In desperation, I chose such a place.
In just one year, he was a little numb.
"wipe!"
After losing the game, Lu Chen cursed and put down his phone and got up, but unexpectedly, he kicked Ruan Yue's hand.
Ruan Yue was caught off guard and was splashed all over by the soup.
She hadn't changed her clothes after returning home, she stared down at the chiffon shirt she had just worn twice for a few seconds, and then cast her resentful eyes on the instigator.
After being together for more than a year, Lu Chen was most annoyed by her expression. She swallowed the apology that just came to her lips, and said angrily, "Can't you wait for me to finish playing the game?"
"Games, games, games, you only have games in your life this day. Lu Chen, you are an adult, can you improve yourself when you have nothing to do after get off work? Can you take a test and read some books? You are not going to just live like this for the rest of your life! "
Knowing that he was wrong, Lu Chen took out a piece of paper and wiped the coffee table, "Speaking of me, I'm very enthusiastic, how much better are you moonlight clan than me?"
"..."
Ruan Yue choked.
Turning around and throwing the lunch box in his hand into the trash can, he felt his heart was congested.
Is this the life she wants
In the past year, in countless moments, she asked herself this question countless times. The answer seems to be very clear, but life is still useless day after day.
She felt like a trapped animal, tied up in the net of life, almost suffocating.
Looking at the trash can that was so full that it was about to overflow, her throat moved, and after a long while, she said in a low voice: "I'm not much better than you, so Lu Chen, I'm desperate."
"... nerves."
Seeing her close the bathroom door, Lu Chen cursed in a low voice.
He felt that this person was simply inexplicable, desperate? Desperate ass. Missy is not good at this point, if she doesn't get nervous a few times a month, she will feel uncomfortable.
He can't see Ruan Yue's sensitivity, and Ruan Yue can't understand his laziness.
The bathroom is small, the water heater is old, and the water has to be filled in advance when taking a shower. Ruan Yueli was halfway through washing under the shower, and when she realized that the water was getting colder, she had just rubbed conditioner on her hair. After rinsing in cold water until the end, she looked at the rows of water droplets on the tiles and felt that they looked like tears.
After finally washing, she returned to the bedroom wearing a suspender skirt, and Lu Chen was already lying on the bed.
Her hair was dry, and she didn't want to go to bed so early, so she simply sat on the sofa, took out her mobile phone, and looked for a variety show to watch.
The video site was at the top of the most popular list, and a line of words caught her attention, and when she came back to her senses, she had already clicked in.
"Welcome everyone to watch the 2019 Host Contest of China Radio and Television. I am the host Qin Bei... Next, let's invite today's No. 1 contestant in the news category, Fu Zhixing."
On the screen of the palm-sized phone, the host stood on the brightly lit stage and said this, Ruan Yue's brain went blank for a few seconds.
She did not expect that today, five years after the college entrance examination, she would see the face of the boy she missed countless times in midnight dreams through this method.
He appeared on the screen of her mobile phone, walked from the long backstage aisle into the brightly lit recording studio, with a white shirt, black trousers, a tall and straight figure, a clean face, and a clean youthful look on his body, more What is true is the calm and introverted demeanor after being polished by time.
[Fu Zhixing, a graduate student majoring in journalism at Peking University.]
When this line of subtitles appeared with his appearance, Ruan Yue's phone screen was instantly filled with scrolling barrage.
[Wow, I can do this little brother!]
[Holding the phone, I can't help showing my aunt a smile.]
[Peking University! No wonder he has the face of a bully.]
[I seem to be drifting away. Seeing this little brother appearing on the stage, I actually want to be admitted to Peking University!]
[I want to test Peking University +1.]
[Suddenly feel that I am not worthy of studying!]
…
The bullet screen full of screens blocked the young man's fair face.
Ruan Yue turned off the video, put down her phone, sat on the sofa, and was in a daze for a long time.
She should have thought that the life of a person like him would not stop at the height in front of him. This bright stage on the screen should be just the beginning of his brilliant life...
But why does the heart hurt so much
The boy in her heart is approaching her dream step by step. She should be happy for him, not like now, who dare not even watch his show.
"It's twelve o'clock, are you going to sleep or not?"
A voice of dissatisfaction suddenly came, interrupting Ruan Yue's trance-like thoughts.
She looked up, and Lu Chen, who was leaning on the bedside, was staring at her steadily.
After living together, what should have happened has already happened. Ruan Yue looked at him at this moment, but was overwhelmed by the heavy sadness in her heart.
She was very good-looking, with well-proportioned flesh and bones, fair skin, a pair of clear and clear eyes under two curved eyebrows, her demeanor was cold and cold when she was silent, and she was not easy to get close to, but she had such an inviolable taste, and finally Can arouse the possessive desire of men.
But at this moment, this cold beauty, with half-dried long hair hanging loose, and a graceful swan neck slightly raised, looked at him with a rare sense of confusion and helplessness.
She only occasionally showed such a look when she was distracted.
Lu Chen felt that he might be cheap, he couldn't see her like this, sighed, he turned on the air conditioner and got off the bed, went to the sofa, leaned over and hugged her up.
"let me go!"
Once in his arms, Ruan Yue yelled.
Lu Chen threw her on the bed, put his arms on her side, and wrapped her whole body under him, raised his chin and asked, "Hey, are you still angry?"
He graduated from a sports school, and his height is close to 1.9 meters. Being caged like this is very oppressive. Ruan Yue feels depressed. She doesn't want to quarrel with him at night, and she doesn't want to be punished by force. Looking at him, he just said: "Stop talking, go to sleep."
After the words fell, he pushed his arm away with one hand, and fell asleep facing the wall.
Lu Chen turned off the light and took her into his arms.
As soon as the hand reached out, it was pushed away.
After tossing like this three times, his voice became cold, "What do you mean?"
Ruan Yue remained silent.
He became even angrier, "Are you sick? I can't touch you?"
Ruan Yue remained silent.
There was a small window on the wall above her head, and a thin layer of curtains could not completely block the light, and the light moonlight leaked in, covering her fair face covered by black hair like silver frost.
Her shoulders were low, like a bird, curling herself up.
A burst of force forced her to level, and the man's fingertips had a thin and hard callus, which clasped on her chin, making her skin sore. He pinched her face with one hand, lowered his head, and his hot breath enveloped her, like an enraged beast, trying to punish its disobedient prey.
The prey struggled silently and fiercely, stretching out its sharp claws and scratching his neck.
"hiss-"
In the darkness, Lu Chen stretched out his hand to cover his neck, his hoarse voice was tinged with gnashing of teeth, "You are a fucking cat..."
Before he could finish what he had to say, Ruan Yue pushed him away abruptly, got up and got out of bed.
At the moment when she turned her back, her bare arm was pulled vigorously, and the world was spinning, and Ruan Yue heard a "bang".
A sharp pain came from the forehead, her eyes went dark, and she passed out.
—
"Class begins."
Confused, Ruan Yue's arm was pushed twice.
She slept very uncomfortably, frowning and raising her eyelids, just facing a chiseled face. When the boy saw her wake up, he turned his head and opened the political book in his hand.
Qin Ziyu
After graduating from high school for more than five years, Ruan Yue still has an impression of the boy who used to be at the same table, but for a while she couldn't figure it out, why did he suddenly appear
She rested her forehead on one hand, looked dazed, and stared at the man for several seconds without moving her gaze away.
Qin Ziyu turned his head again, feeling a little uncomfortable, and reminded, "This is politics."
Ruan Yue said "Oh", lowered her head thoughtfully, and turned her hand over and over to look at it. After a while, under Qin Ziyu's unclear gaze, she bit her knuckles.
it hurts...
She returned to the classroom of Class 29
Her heart was beating fast, and she couldn't bear the realization, so she turned her head and looked out the window.
After the preparatory bell rang, the corridor became quiet. She looked up, and through the glass windows and eaves, she found that the sky in the distance was unbelievably blue.
Fu Zhixing, holding a stack of homework books, happened to walk past her window.
He was wearing a white school uniform with short sleeves and dark blue trousers from his high school days. His back was straight and thin, and his passing face was handsome and indifferent. The figure is ethereal like a dream.
"Attend class!"
A loud shout from the podium suddenly brought people back to reality.
"Hello teacher-"
In my impression, the female political teacher in the second year of high school was very fierce. Ruan Yue stood up reflexively, and shouted this greeting to everyone in the classroom. After sitting down, she controlled her beating heart and reached into the table hole. Take out the political book.
"Everyone turn to the tenth page of the book. Today we will continue with the first lesson of the first unit, "Culture, Economy, and Politics"..."
"Report!"
A loud male voice came from outside the door suddenly.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted. The political teacher's face darkened, and he turned to look at the door.
With a "snap", the classroom door was directly pushed open.
Two tall boys stood at the door, the one in the lead said with a hippie smile, "I'm sorry, teacher, I overslept."
"puff-"
There was an untimely snort in the classroom.
"What are you laughing laughing!"
The political teacher reprimanded, and said angrily, "Isn't it an honor to oversleep? Can't you hear the bell? Let me tell you two, don't bring me the evil spirit of the ordinary class!"
"Hey, teacher, I don't like to hear what you say. What's wrong with ordinary classes? Students in ordinary classes also have dignity..."
"Hahaha, Li Shiyu is amazing!"
The boys in the back row of the classroom suddenly became agitated.
Changning No. 1 Middle School is a private boarding school. After the second year of high school, the liberal arts has a Qingbei class, two experimental classes, and four ordinary classes. These two experimental classes include some related households and art students. Discipline is particularly difficult to manage , the two at the door are the notorious black sheep in the grade!
The political teacher looked at Li Shiyu's bastard-like appearance, and suddenly became angry, pointing at the person and angrily said: "Don't take this class, just stand outside for me."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the back row of the classroom, "Qin Zheng! Get out for me too!"
The boy who was named sighed. Amidst the "hahaha" laughter in the classroom, he carried a book and walked towards the door of the classroom. When passing by another person outside the door, he heard the female teacher say behind him: " Lu Chen, come in."
