In the afternoon of early June, the sky was gloomy, the air was muggy, and the cicadas were loud and clear.
The closed campus was crowded with parents of students, and a few reporters recorded the opening scene for the camera: "It's five o'clock in the afternoon Beijing time, and I'm in front of the gate of Ronggang No. 24 Middle School. The bell rang just now. However, the 2015 college entrance examination has officially come to an end... "
All those waiting were impatient, and finally, a tall and slender boy ran out of the examination room. The reporters swarmed up and rushed to raise the microphone at him, "Hello classmate, what do you think of the overall difficulty of this year's test paper?" "You are the first candidate to walk out of the test room. Do you have any special feelings after the test?"
The reporters were chattering, making the interviewed boy overwhelmed. He stretched out one hand and waved it in the air, with a rather pretentious expression, "Don't panic, come one by one, I have enough time."
"Hello classmate, I just saw that you ran out directly, and you were in a very happy mood. Do you have any plans after the exam today?"
"Go to the Internet cafe."
"It looks like you are quite confident in the exam papers, do you have hope to be admitted to the ideal university?"
The boy sneered with his mouth twisted, and said disdainfully: "Tsinghua University, Peking University, it's nothing to worry about."
The surrounding parents were in awe of him.
"Did you pay attention to the state of the people around you when you were in the examination room? Are you the first one to finish answering the test paper in your examination room?"
The boy said: "Yes, English is equivalent to my mother tongue to me, especially the composition, which can make me talk nonsense. After I finished writing, I just threw down the pen and lay on my stomach. As for what others think of me, I don't care. I've always been someone who doesn't care about sidelights."
The reporter asked questions one after another, and the handsome boy was calm and relaxed, talking and laughing with them, and providing a lot of manuscript materials.
It was not early, and the boy left in a hurry after answering the questions, leaving a handsome figure on the crowd outside the examination room.
"Master, go to Jiangdong Road, just find an Internet cafe and stop." Yu Ran stopped the car on the road, "Let's take a detour, it's too congested here."
"Just finished the college entrance examination, young man?"
"Ok."
"I wish you a good grade."
"That must be, hehe."
The air-conditioning in the taxi was sufficient, and Yu Ran felt very comfortable after answering the questions all afternoon. The weather seemed to be raining, but he still didn't plan to go home, he insisted on going to the internet cafe to spend half a day after the college entrance examination.
He found a store that he often went to in junior high school, took fifty yuan and his ID card at the counter, and said, "Give me four hours... no, six hours! Big screen."
The boss glanced at his ID, "Not yet."
"It's two months away, and it's already rounded up."
The boss curled his lips and handed him a password card, "You look familiar, have you always come here before?"
"Yeah." Yu Ran chuckled, "My handsomeness is always memorable."
He sat down and switched on the phone, and called Chu Mian, "Are you home, baby, go online."
"You guys call first, I'll come back after I eat. You remember to eat too, I'll remind you later."
Chu Mian entered the password of the house, and after entering the house, she quickly went to the freezer to get a frozen mouse to feed Fiona's food for this month. He was so busy with the college entrance examination these days that he forgot that he had been hungry for several days, and he suddenly remembered it after finishing writing English.
"I'm sorry." He solemnly apologized to Fiona, bowed his head to kiss its body, and picked up the food with the tweezers.
Chu Heng just finished cooking dinner, allowing Chu Mian to eat the freshest dishes, "Baa, do you want to go out with Yu Ran for a few days? I saw that the weather forecast said it would rain, so be careful when you go out. I want I'm on a business trip for half a month, so I can't watch you guys."
"We're not in a hurry to see each other." Chu Mian smiled, "He wants to play games, and I want to watch movies, so let's play together first."
Chu Heng didn't ask him about the exam, but judging from his expression, he should have performed well.
"Baa, do you have any plans for a graduation trip?"
"I'll ask Yu Ran in a few days. In fact, I still want to test for a driver's license."
"Okay, you guys think about it slowly." Chu Heng suddenly sighed enviously, "It's great to have a carefree holiday after the college entrance examination, and I won't have this kind of 'liberation' feeling after the holidays."
Yu Ran kept calling on the phone, urging him to come to the gangster. Chu Mian hadn't touched the game for about a year, and her skills were unfamiliar at first, but after two sets, she found her skills again, and carried the audience as usual.
"It's past nine o'clock, and you're still not home?" Chu Mian asked.
"I stay up all night."
Chu Mian hesitated to speak, and wanted to reprimand Yu Ran for not being able to practice his body right after the exam, but considering that they have been depressed for a long time for the college entrance examination, it doesn't matter to indulge once in a while.
"Then did you eat well?"
"Eat, there are meat and vegetables." Yu Ran tapped the keyboard quickly, "McDonald's."
Chu Mian clicked her tongue, "Don't stay here for too long, go out to sleep in a room when you're sleepy, and watch your phone and wallet."
Yu Ran agreed very happily, letting Chu Mian relax for the time being.
However, within a few days, Chu Mian realized that something was wrong. Yu Ran had been online for too long. Even if he was offline for a few hours, his avatar would light up again. His younger brother is still preparing for the senior high school entrance examination, so it is impossible for him to play at home for so long.
Chu Mian thought for a while, then went out with an umbrella.
In the clean Internet cafe, only the dense sound of typing keyboards could be heard, Yu Ran put down his earphones helplessly, walked out the door after Chu Mian, and complained softly: "My mother never came to an Internet cafe to catch me!"
"Who made you so intemperate."
Yu Ran didn't have the confidence to refute. After the college entrance examination, he has been spending the past few days in the Internet cafe. Except for taking time to go home to take a shower and sleep every day, the rest of the time is in front of the computer, and his meals are taken out.
"Where are you going by car?" Yu Ran asked.
"Go to school and get the answer."
Yu Ran wailed reluctantly, but quickly followed, holding Chu Mian's wrist, and wanted to go with him.
Not long after the rain stopped, they were walking under the cool shade of a tree when Yu Ran suddenly stopped and yelled at Chu Mian with a high-pitched voice.
Chu Mian was startled by him, her eyes widened slightly, "What's wrong?"
"It's great that I didn't stump." Yu Ran smiled happily, and touched Chu Mian's chest, "Is this starting to get better?"
To what extent the sleeping sickness has developed, you have to ask a professional doctor. But in order to reassure Yu Ran, Chu Mian still said: "It must be getting better. Since last week, I have slept less and less during the day."
Then, he added: "Don't yell suddenly next time, it will still scare me."
"Yes, yes, you are so delicate, I have to take good care of you. But do you remember? Here—" Yu Ran pointed to the floor tiles, "The place where I chased you down for the first time."
Chu Mian was stunned for a few seconds before she understood what he said, then she couldn't help laughing and said, "I remember, you even launched..."
He couldn't remember the specific name, and only used "superpower" instead.
"It's a lie at all." Chu Mian said firmly, "You were bluffing like a madman at the time. Fortunately, you are good-looking, otherwise I would definitely call the police."
Yu Ran smiled and took his arm, "I didn't lie to you, didn't you give in to my personal charm?"
Chu Mian didn't speak, she pursed her lips as if acquiescing to Yu Ran's statement.
Today, many students came to the school to take the answers of the college entrance examination. The questions of this year are indeed not as difficult as last year, but the reasoning and synthesis are a little more flexible, which confuses many people.
Yu Ran got a volume of answers, and resolutely refused to open the estimated score, nervously waiting for Chu Mian's result.
Chu Mian remained expressionless, recalling her answers at that time and calculating the points on the paper. When he saw the result of the last math task of filling in the blanks, he regretfully said, "Sure enough, the calculation is still wrong."
After adding up the approximate scores of all subjects, there are about 690 points, which is indeed beyond his original expectation. But right now, he still cares more about the math fill-in-the-blank question, because he failed to get close to the correct answer after three calculations in the examination room.
The front and back of the small 32-motif paper were filled with numbers, and he said to Yu Ran without thinking, "Bring me another piece of paper, and I will solve this problem."
"What does it do, isn't the answer correct?"
The question that Yu Ran blurted out naturally made Chu Mian dumbfounded.
Yes, what is it for? The dust of the college entrance examination has settled, and the result will not change no matter how many times it is calculated.
It's just... He has already formed a conditioned reflex. When he sees a wrong question, he subconsciously analyzes it again and summarizes his ideas for solving the problem. For a long time, these things that are repeated every day have been the most important part of his life, and his advantage lies in this; but because he is too used to deriving the results, at this moment, he forgets that he has lost the conditions to solve the problem.
The college entrance examination is over, he doesn't have to bother about it anymore, he can make all his mistakes a thing of the past.
"Find a piece of paper for me." Chu Mian said to Ran after pondering, "I want to do the calculation again."
"Okay!" Yu Ran knew that Chu Mian was inquisitive, so he quickly borrowed one from someone else.
When Chu Mian lifted the nib of the pen, she couldn't help the heat in her eyes, but luckily she calmed down soon. Apart from Yu Ran, "study" is his best companion, which is the widest shortcut for him to get close to his dream life, and sometimes he will draw auxiliary lines of three-dimensional geometry in his dreams. Even though he has gone through a stage where it is difficult to improve his grades, when he is lonely, he can rely on learning to make him courageous.
— Now it’s time to say “goodbye” to it.
Taking graduation photos failed to make Chu Mian feel turbulent, but saying goodbye to high school textbooks made his nasal cavity sore.
Yu Ran has been observing Chu Mian's side face all the time, and suddenly found that his eyes became moist and bright, and his heart suddenly flustered.
Chu Mian... Are you going to cry? Yu Ran felt unbelievable.
He couldn't think of Chu Mian's feeling of "reluctance" for studying. In his opinion, all college entrance examination candidates are in the peak of happiness after the exam. If they want to cry, it can only be because they did not pass the exam.
It's over... Yu Ran's heart sank slowly, worried that Chu Mian would repeat the reading.
"Let's go." After evaluating the score in the classroom, Chu Mian packed up her things and left.
Yu Ran followed with a sullen face, not daring to say words of encouragement or comfort, firstly because he had no position as an art student like himself, and secondly because he was afraid that Chu Mian would be even more sad.
At the fork in the road, Chu Mian turned her head and asked, "Do you want to go to my house?"
"When?"
"Today, or in the near future, my aunt is on a business trip again, and there is no one at home."
"Okay, I'll go home and pick up some clothes first." Yu Ran resolutely agreed, he thought that Chu Mian's heart was at its most fragile stage, and he had to help him repair it.
If you really decide to repeat it at that time... then you will have to wait for him for a year.
So in the following days, they spent the most arbitrary June in their lives. The air conditioner is turned on 24 hours a day, forgetting all the energy-saving and environmental protection that is usually kept in mind; the crispy and sweet watermelon in the refrigerator can never be eaten up, and sometimes the ankle accidentally touches a glass of soda on the coffee table, and the sticky sugar flows out It was all over the floor, but they didn't have time to clean it. Two young and hot bodies are lingering on the soft sofa, every kiss is full of passion, and the smell of each other is always left on the tip of the tongue.
The cicadas could not be heard in the Hanning mansion, only each other's breathing was clearly visible.
The last time I hugged Chu Mian to sleep like this was last winter. Yu Ran never knew that he was originally a deep sleeper. As long as he stays by Chu Mian's side, all the impetuousness in his heart that has nowhere to rest can be relieved.
On June 23, Ronggang City opened an online inquiry portal for college entrance examination results.
Yu Ran wanted to set an alarm clock the night before, but he didn't mention it because he was afraid that Chu Mian's test results would not be satisfactory.
The next day, Yu Ran slept until the sun was three poles before waking up. When he opened his eyes, he found that Chu Mian was gone.
He sat up abruptly, relieved to see that the bedroom window was still closed.
Getting out of bed and walking out of the room, it turned out that Chu Mian was making coffee on the balcony. Yu Ran went back to wash with confidence, took some food from the refrigerator and put it in the microwave, and went to find Chu Mian.
He still didn't take the initiative to improve the test score, but Chu Mian spoke first: "I checked the score for you, 486."
"Oh." Yu Ran suppressed the joy that gushed out of his heart, and looked at Chu Mian calmly.
Chu Mian didn't continue talking, and stared at the sparkling Lanjiang downstairs. In the past few days, the temperature in Ronggang has risen again, the air is dry, the sun is blinding the eyes, and it burns the skin.
The atmosphere was frozen for too long, Chu Mian turned around slowly, and opened her arms to Yu Ran.
Yu Ran understood immediately and slipped into his arms.
"Have you figured out where to go after completing the volunteer application?" Chu Mian asked in his ear.
"Anywhere, as long as it's with you." Yu Ran bit his lip involuntarily, "A-actually, I want to graduate with you this year!"
Chu Mian hugged him and laughed, "Okay, isn't it natural?"
Yu Ran felt relieved and leaned all his body weight on Chu Mian.
"ninth."
"what?"
"Ninth in the city." Chu Mian said, "Six hundred and ninety-four."
Yu Ran's ears were buzzing, as if he could hear his heart beating wildly.
A score of 486 can allow him to pass the Central American Culture score line, and Chu Mian, as the top ten science subjects in the city, is also enough to compete for Peking Union Medical College. They all achieved their expected goals and fulfilled the promise they made one night three years ago.
—Since we both want to be admitted to a school in Beijing, let’s make an agreement to see you in three years.
The teenagers hugged each other tightly, and their body temperature was transmitted to the other person through the thin fabric of pajamas.
Accompanied by the scorching sun, it burns at the touch of a button.
