In the boiler room of the courtyard, all the memories of Chu Jin from the age of seven to nineteen were recorded.
The chest of drawers at the entrance was always stuffed with snacks and toys by friends, and later became the base for Ding Yi, Wang Junyang Zang Xiao Pian and Xiao Huang Man.
The yellowing of the walls, the old wood-colored furniture, the creaking single bed, and the blue and white checkered sheets that have remained unchanged for thousands of years.
Chu Jin's consciousness gradually became clear, the girl in his arms trembled, and he realized that he kissed too emotionally, for fear of scaring her.
In the dimly lit room, only an old-fashioned moving head fan made a "clicking" sound.
"Sorry..." Chu Jin gasped and whispered in Song Qiaoxi's ear, sympathetically stroking her long curly hair scattered on the pillow.
Song Qiaoxi's eyes widened, adapting to the dim light in the room.
Chu Jin's brows and eyes drooped, and the pale thin lips turned bright red as if they were bloodshot because of the kiss.
Before getting used to the unfamiliar feeling of lust, Song Qiaoxi tried her best to hold her breath, raised her hand in confusion, and tapped Chu Jin's discolored lips with her index finger.
Wet, warm to the touch.
Now, she's fully awake, oh my god...
The brain went through a series of brainstorms in an instant. Could it be that the wonderful feeling just now was what Ding Miao said was uncontrollable
and many more... ...
No, Chu Jin seemed to be apologizing to himself just now
"Hey..." Song Qiaoxi hooked Chu Jin's neck with both hands, touched his forehead with his, and asked solemnly, "Why did you apologize to me just now?"
Chu Jin was amused by her serious questioning, the little girl is sometimes dull and cute.
"Apologize..." Chu Jin paused, curled his lips, and smiled more like a monster, "I shouldn't drink, and I won't touch alcohol in the future."
Drinking, really wrong...
"If you want to drink, you can drink it in moderation, but you can't be crazy if you drink too much. I'm your leader and will take care of you." Song Qiaoxi raised her head and pecked Chu Jinyan's red lips. Biting a bit, the little tongue licked it.
She liked the warm, soft touch of his lips, and the way he smiled like a goblin, and liked being dead.
"Hiss..." Chu Jin gasped, his arm supported by the bed trembled a little, and the little girl's sudden initiative made her whole body hot.
Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door outside, breaking the charming atmosphere in the room.
"Xixi, are you here in Chujin?" Ding Yi's voice was outside the door.
"..." Chu Ji's brows wrinkled, his dark eyes flashing, he blinked twice in disappointment, and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Xixi? Chu Jin? What are you two doing?" Ding Yi continued to knock on the door, "dududu" kept knocking, "My sister is home, I'm going to your house, you're not here, you can only be in Chujin Here it is! Open the door, I forgot to get your Olympic ticket yesterday, I promised Liang Shanshan to bring it to her in the afternoon."
If they were only with Chu Jin, no matter how intimate the two were, Song Qiaoxi would not feel shy.
But the door of the boiler room is very thin and the sound insulation is poor, so the movement in the room can definitely be heard outside.
Song Qiaoxi buried her head in the pillow angrily.
At this time, she really didn't want to see Ding Yi, she just wanted to bury her head like an ostrich.
"Aren't you both going to take a nap? It's three o'clock soon, get up soon, get up, Xixi, Chu Jin?" Ding Yi's voice came from the window again, and he went to knock on the window instead.
"I'll take him away, you can sleep for a while." Chu Jin's voice was angered. He pulled the towel that Song Qiaoxi had pushed to the foot of the bed, put it on her waist, and covered all the exposed skin. .
Song Qiaoxi could hear the door opening.
Just for a moment, it was quickly closed.
"I'll send it to you later, she's still asleep." She heard Chu Jin's voice clearly.
"Oh, well, what time is it still sleeping?" Ding Yi dawdled and chatted with Chu Jin again.
Song Qiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Ding Yi's intention to go home first.
Immediately afterwards, the heart that had just been put down was raised again.
I just heard Ding make a fuss and say: "I'm going, Brother Jin, I didn't find out just now, did you put on lipstick? Why is your mouth like drinking blood, you won't be bitten by mosquitoes..."
Chu Jin: "..."
--
The time in the compound in the summer vacation is happy, but the happy time is always short-lived.
During this month, Song Qiaoxi played wildly with her friends in the courtyard, sang K with foreign language and old classmates from the elementary school attached to the normal school, and attended the engagement banquet of sister Qiu Meng and brother Li Dong by the way.
If she had dinner at someone's house in the courtyard, after the meal, she would go to see Grandpa Sun and Grandpa Zhang play chess and cards as she did when she was a child, but she was not accompanied by the two big cocks called "daughters" by Song Qiaoxi. .
Grandpa Sun is also the "mouth gun" OG of the compound. The stories of everyone in the compound are easy to come by, and he will soon catch up with Mr. Village Storyteller.
In mid-July, she and Chu Jin took a bus back to Taicheng and stayed with her grandmother and grandfather for a few days.
By the beginning of August, a few friends had booked the train tickets from Qizhou to Beijing together, and were going to Beijing to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games by train.
The vigorous summer vacation has just passed.
The opening time of Tsingtao University is relatively early. On the evening of August 29, 2008, the opening ceremony of the freshmen of Tsingtao University for 2008 undergraduates was grandly held in the square in front of the main building.
About 3,000 2008 undergraduate freshmen, as well as hundreds of parents and relatives and friends of the freshmen attended the opening ceremony.
Chu Jin came to the stage as the representative of the freshman. He was wearing a slim white shirt, black trousers, and fine black hair scattered on his forehead. His temperament and demeanor were excellent.
As soon as the handsome, delicate and handsome boy came to power, he caused a discussion among teachers and students in the audience.
"This is the champion of the science college entrance examination in Beijing this year. The young man is really a talent. This parent really knows how to raise children."
"I remember that the child's name is Chu Jin. He was in the newspaper and was interviewed by the media. I heard that his background was quite pitiful."
"It seems that my parents passed away when I was very young, and they were raised by neighbors. It's not easy."
"In my opinion, the school grass of Qing University this year must be Chu Jin. With such looks and figure, tsk tsk, it's a pity to not be a star."
"Being a star, I heard that he has started an Internet business since high school. Several venture capitalists have contacted him. Now they are catching up with the Internet, and they can make a lot of money."
"It seems that I heard that he is the grandson of the Chu family. He put aside the good family property and did not inherit it. He went out to start a business by himself. The young man is quite courageous..."
…
Song Qiaoxi, Song's parents and Grandpa Chu all attended the opening ceremony as relatives and friends.
When Song Jianguo and Qiao Qin saw Chu Jin coming to power, the couple burst into tears with excitement, and their faces could not hide their pride and pride.
Song Qiaoxi's slap became popular, and she smiled proudly.
Beside her is the old man Chu in a wheelchair.
Although the old man's language function has recovered, the coordination of his limbs still needs to be rehabilitated.
Rehabilitation treatment is a test of the mentality of family members and patients. It is a road with no end in sight. Even the most professional doctors do not know how much they can recover.
She took out a handkerchief for Grandpa Chu, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and whispered, "Grandpa Chu, you have to laugh. Only when Chu Jin sees you happy can he be happy."
"Okay, okay, you have to laugh..." Old Master Chu said slowly, the corners of his mouth rising slowly, "Do as much as you want to see me laugh."
--
After that, Chu Jin started the first lesson of the freshman, military training.
In 2008, due to the holding of the Olympic Games, the eight-character class was unprecedentedly pulled into the military camp, and mobile phones were not allowed. They were completely cut off from the outside world and lived in isolation for three weeks.
When Chu Jin came out of Changping's "Bayi Student Military Training Base" and returned home, Song Qiaoxi almost didn't dare to recognize him.
He lost a lot of weight, and he was also a lot darker. He used to look like a male goblin, but he completely turned into a shaved, handsome and valiant brother soldier.
but... ...
To be honest, even if Chu Jin's complexion is tanned and his hair is shaved into a thin inch, he is still handsome, but he looks more manly.
After dinner, the two of them went downstairs for a walk as usual. They first went to Mr. Chu's house opposite to bring Lucky out, and walked in the community garden with the dog on a leash.
At this point, there are not many people walking in the community.
"God, you won't come back in vain, right?" Song Qiaoxi poked Chu Jin's thin arm, raised her head and giggled.
"Do you like white?" Chu Jin raised his eyes and smiled, this smile still hooked, "You dislike me?"
Song Qiaoxi looked around and no one paid attention to them. She put both hands on Chu Jin's shoulders, hung his neck and pecked Chu Jin's chin, and said sweetly, "I don't dislike it, I like everything you do."
Lucky ran around her feet, "hehehehe", and seemed to be begging for a kiss, a hug.
In a few days, Song Qiaoxi will fly to the United States.
The direct flight from Beijing to Los Angeles is 12 hours. There is a 16-hour time difference in winter time and 15 hours in summer time.
The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, and neither deliberately mentioned the sad parting of the young couple in love.
Song Qiaoxi thought that Chu Jin was at ease with her leaving.
He took out a piece of Yoha toffee from his pocket, peeled it off and stuffed it into his mouth, and waved at Chu Jin, "Do you want to eat it?"
She knew that Chu Jin didn't like sweets, so she asked only symbolically.
Just as she was about to put the candy back in her pocket, she unexpectedly heard Chu Jin reply to her, "Yeah."
"Oh, then I'll give you..." Song Qiaoxi was about to say that I'd peel one for you, but the next second, Chu Jin grabbed her neck, "Uh..."
The mint smell came from his body, Chu Jin held the back of Song Qiaoxi's head and pressed his lips to it.
She easily pried open her teeth, and after a few seconds, the toffee reached Chu Jin's mouth.
"Sweet." Chu Jin put his arms around Song Qiaoxi's waist and wrapped the little one in his arms, smelling the sweet apricot smell on her body greedily, and whispered in her ear like a sigh, "Xi Xi, when you arrive in the United States, can you always wear a ring?"
His voice trembled slightly, and his chest was hot.
Song Qiaoxi raised her hand and stroked his back, "Come with me tomorrow to buy a chain, and I won't take it off again until you get me a better one."
Chu Jin listened to what she said, and didn't want her to go.
Selfishly, I want to put Song Qiaoxi in her pocket and take it with her wherever she goes, or she will accompany her to the United States once.
But when he is gone, Uncle Song and Aunt Qiao will definitely take care of Mr. Chu's responsibility.
The Qiao family in the Song family also has elderly people to take care of. Uncle Song and Aunt Qiao are middle-aged. Sometimes, Chu Jin obviously feels that they are no longer young.
Uncle Song's gray hair is already obvious. When he comes home from work, he is too tired to speak. Aunt Qiao also has wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. The school's work is very stressful, and there is even a trend of presbyopia.
have to admit...
As children, they grow up, as parents, they grow old.
Chu Jin thought more and thought more.
He has experienced all kinds of impermanence since he was a child, and he never believed in luck in doing things. He hoped that his ability would be more powerful, so that the Song family could survive any accident.
He is also a raised child of the Song family. Xixi leaves the house temporarily, so he will protect the family.
He knew that as long as Xixi felt that she had a good life in China and Qing University was his dream, she would be able to leave home to study abroad with confidence.
But if he told her his true thoughts, Song Qiaoxi would definitely stay and give up the opportunity to study abroad.
I hope Song Qiaoxi will become that little eagle soaring in the sky and do what she really likes and loves.
Four years, whether it is long or short, is not short.
When she comes back, propose to her.
He wanted to let Song Qiaoxi and himself become a person on the household registration book as soon as he graduated.
--
On September 23, 2008, Song Qiaoxi boarded a flight to LA from the newly completed T3 terminal in Beijing. Wang Junyang and her were on the same flight, and their seats were far apart.
The adults of the Wang family and Song family, who came to see them off together, thought that the two children were having a conflict, and they didn't take it seriously.
Uncle Wang patted Wang Junyang's head and said earnestly: "When you arrive in Los Angeles, you and Xixi have to take care of each other. When you were young, Xixi covered you. You are a big man now, so don't embarrass our old Wang family, Bai Chang. Such a big man."
"Dad... Are you bothered, I don't need to take care of you at all." Wang Junyang impatiently escaped from his father's "clutch", taking care of himself and standing farther away from the crowd.
"Look at this kid, how he's used to it..." Uncle Wang was still thinking about bringing his son back, but was stopped by Mama Wang.
"Don't worry about the child's affairs. Let the child solve it by himself. Who doesn't have a small temper? Who says that boys can't have emotions? Yangyang is in a bad mood recently, don't bother him." Wang's mother pulled Uncle Wang and patted him He soothed his arm, smiled at Song Qiaoxi, and glanced meaningfully at Chu Jin, who had been standing beside her from beginning to end, "Xixi is in LA, take care of yourself, don't let your parents worry, Chu Jin Study hard at Qingda University."
"Okay, thank you Mama Wang." Song Qiaoxi also smiled at Mama Wang, and looked at Chu Jin behind her with a worried look.
Seeing that his expression was relaxed, there was no ups and downs, and he didn't speak again.
For international flights, it is best to go through the security check two hours in advance, in addition to the border check, and take the shuttle bus.
Song Qiaoxi and Chu Jin both used the excuse to go to the bathroom, avoiding everyone's sight, hugging and kissing in a hidden corner of the T3 terminal.
Chu Jin held her tightly, kissing her lips over and over again.
Song Qiaoxi's head was blank, and she only subconsciously catered to him awkwardly. Occasionally someone passed by, but she didn't care.
Then, she heard Chu Jin whisper in her ear, "Don't forget me, Xixi."
"Then, remember to miss me too." Song Qiaoxi said in a low voice, burying her head in Chu Jin's neck.
The plane rushed into the sky, watching the light on the ground getting smaller and smaller, and finally turned into small spots of light, and finally disappeared in the darkness.
Song Qiaoxi's headphones have been playing a song on a loop, "In the billions of feet in the sky, in a room with a port view, in a bargain shop, in the noisy three or four in the morning, but my dear, why are you not by my side... . . . "
Salty tears ran down the corners of his mouth.
It turns out that the taste of parting is salty.
--
The partners who stayed in China also officially started their college careers, and they all uploaded photos of tanning during their freshman military training on the most popular intramural network.
Song Qiaoxi settled down in LA, and liked the photos they posted one by one. Before coming, she also registered an account on the school's intranet.
Before coming, Song Qiaoxi rented a room with a private bathroom and a dressing room near UCLA through the school forum. This apartment has a total of two rooms. The roommate is Li Chuchu, a sophomore in UCLA's film school.
Li Chuchu is a beautiful and delicate southern girl. She speaks softly and is never in a hurry. She is easy to get along with, and her cooking is especially delicious. She has the unique virtue and gentleness of southern girls.
She also always loves to learn how to speak Erhuayin with Song Qiaoxi, but every time Erhuayin says something wrong, making Song Qiaoxi laugh out loud.
Before Song Qiaoxi learned her driver's license, Li Chuchu often drove the second-hand Beetle and took her to familiarize herself with the surrounding environment. They went to the Chinese Super League to buy things, went to Sawtelle to eat delicious Japanese ramen, and went to the Chinese district in the east to eat hot pot. , Cantonese cuisine, Northeastern cuisine, BBQ...
Occasionally, Wang Junyang would also come to have a meal with them. The "little awkwardness" between the two of them gradually faded after half a year, and no one mentioned it again.
When they were in their second year of sophomore year together, Wang Junyang returned to his former hippie smile, and turned to come to Song Qiaoxi and Li Chuchu for dinner every three or five minutes, and even asked to eat the fried rice cakes made by Li Chuchu.
It has to be said that he seems to have used all his academic talents on the all-important admissions test.
Just like in junior high school, Wang Junyang was at the USC Business School, and he had a bad day again, but he really began to try to participate in some professional game leagues in the United States.
As a rich second generation, he never cared about his grades. No matter how bad he was, he could go back to Qizhou to inherit his mother's chain of beauty salons.
Chu Jin and Song Qiaoxi have voice and video every day, but for young couples who are in a foreign relationship, this is not enough!
Two people, only during the summer vacation every year, can they be together for a short time.
Most of the time I have to stay at home, occasionally kissing secretly, and I am afraid that my parents will break in.
Song's father still stubbornly adhered to his old ideas. Before his daughter was twenty years old, she was determined not to fall in love.
It was a rare trip back to China, and Song Qiaoxi didn't want to make the atmosphere at home stiff.
When Chu Jin was in his sophomore year, because of the rapid development of the website, he was sought after by venture capitalists. He rejected the funds provided by his grandfather and used the savings he had accumulated to officially register the company in Beijing.
By the end of 2010, he was already the young CEO of an Internet startup.
The company's address is near Haidian. In order to facilitate both study and work, Chu Jin rented a two-bedroom apartment near the school.
In 2010, both studies and work have become extremely busy. Chu has only spare time, except to accompany his grandfather in rehabilitation, he must take one day a week to eat with Song Uncle and Aunt Qiao, and the rest is given to Song Qiaoxi's voice. video.
He didn't dare to stop for a moment, all his energy was devoted to his studies and work, and he worked hard for his goals.
The earlier you achieve your goals, the earlier you can spend more time with his "little leader".
Chu Jin's time is very tight. He hopes to buy Xixi a house in Beijing or Qizhou before she graduates.
In the second year of her sophomore year, Song Qiaoxi and her classmates set up a photography studio and began to try some business activities and participate in photography competitions.
She has good grades and was praised by the teacher as a very talented student. She is expected to become a very good photographer in the future.
UCLA's relaxed study style and free atmosphere are really suitable for her, because she is studying a major that she really likes. Even if she often stays up late into the morning to revise films and write papers, Song Qiaoxi never feels bitter.
Since the second semester of her sophomore year, Song Qiaoxi has had a small temper, and she feels distressed and unhappy with Chu Jin.
Chu Jin was really too busy. He was so busy that he had a voice and video with Song Qiaoxi and fell asleep on the sofa within a few minutes.
She knew he was tired and felt bad that he was not taken care of, and she thought about taking care of Grandpa Chu and her parents every day.
The unpleasant thing is that Chu Jin was so tired and worked so hard that he didn't say a word to himself.
However, isn't she his "little leader"
Why are these things not reported to leaders? !
The more I think about it, the more I get angry, the more I think about... The more I want to see him at the first time, hug him, and kiss him.
Later, Song Qiaoxi discovered that she was not angry, but that she thought too much.
March 24, 2010 is Chu Jin's 21st birthday. The University of California in the United States has about two weeks of spring break. Song Qiaoxi simply bought a one-way ticket and returned to Beijing from LA on March 22. .
She still remembered the seventeenth birthday that Chu Jin spent alone in Macau.
At that time, Song Qiaoxi also said that she also owed him a separate birthday.
Then, on Chu Jin's 21st birthday, give him a surprise, right
When returning to China this time, Song Qiaoxi only told Ding Miao and Wang Junyang, and no one else said anything, not even her parents.
The two partners also kept it a secret for her, so don't leak that she has returned to China.
Before leaving, she also asked Wang Junyang to help her take care of Li Chuchu when she was free.
Chu Chu, a little girl from the south, looks thin and small, and it is not safe to be alone in the apartment for fear of being watched.
Wang Junyang agreed very happily.
Ding Miao picked her up at the airport. Two days before Chu Jin's birthday, Song Qiaoxi lived in Ding Miao's dormitory.
Sister Miao's dormitory condition is very good. It is a four-person room with an independent bathroom. Two of her graduate students' roommates are renting houses outside, and the other is from Beijing. She often doesn't come back.
Back to Ding Miao's dormitory to put her luggage, Song Qiaoxi shouted that she wanted to eat roast duck, Ding Miao was so worn out by her that she had to take Song Qiaoxi to a shopping center near Haidian, where a new "Xiao Da Dong" roast duck was opened. The little best friend catches the wind and washes the dust.
After eating, Ding Miao listened to Song Qiaoxi's sweet "complaints" to Chu Jin all the way, and decided to take her to go shopping.
"I'm so sleepy, Miaomiao, please let me go back to sleep first, and I'll go shopping with you when I get up tomorrow, okay?" Song Qiaoxi feels sleepy when she's full, and the time she just got off the plane is long gone. Excited, I just want to sleep when the jet lag comes.
"What are you sleeping for? You flew all the way back from the United States to sleep in my dormitory?" Ding Miao stabbed Song Qiaoxi in the forehead with her finger, and, out of anger, dragged her to the second floor in the elevator with a loud voice. He couldn't help but improve, "I'm really convinced, Song Qiaoxi, do you know why Chu Jin is so tired? It's not because of you, you are not enlightened, you two have been together for three years, and you actually told me you Haven't slept yet?!"
"Shh... Be quiet, Sister Miao, I'm begging you. It's not because we've been living at home, and it's not like you don't know what my father and your father are like. Sister Miao, you're very light. ..." Song Qiaoxi was dumbfounded by Ding Miao's words, and let her drag her to the door of a lingerie store.
"If you don't buy five sets of sexy underwear today, you are not allowed to come out!" Ding Miao glanced inside Song Qiaoxi's loose shirt, showing an expression of "you can't teach a child", and then rolled her eyes to the sky, "I My little ancestor, why are you still wearing the pudding dog's children's underwear, which makes people see it, but how can you do it..."
After finishing speaking, Ding Miao turned around and pulled her, and plunged into the flowery world of pink, white, black, black and red, hollowed-out tulle lace rabbit tails...
