The sound of rain surrounds the beam

The crimson of dusk swallowed from the horizon, spreading to overwhelming sweet colors.

Xu Yao bought cheese and meat floss cakes at the small shop in front of the school, four yuan and nine yuan.It looked good, so I bought a bag and took it back to the office to share.

Unexpectedly, there were people snatching it all up, and the grand occasion of Xu Yao being preyed on by hungry wolves refreshed her three views: "Damn you, you haven't eaten in 800 years?! That surnamed Chen is almost enough for you! It's only a few dollars!"

Chen Ziyou grabbed two yuan and left the battlefield quickly: "Thank you Teacher Xu for your selfless dedication. I don't think this posture can be allocated to the liberal arts next door. Let's take one for Lao Ou first."

The cake was delivered to the handsome man who was resting on a chair, Ouyang Li rubbed his red eyes: "Where did it come from?"

"Teacher Xu brought them, two yuan each." Chen Ziyou said.

The school celebration sent off a wave of graduates, and the enthusiasm was cooled by a shattered rain. The rest not only had to face the humid and long rainy season, but also the four-school joint entrance examination several times a year.

The questions in the entrance exam are all devil-level, and the attached middle school exams are usually difficult. The students who have experienced it have already developed a psychological quality that is detached from things.

Only Gao Xiaomeng was new in the dark, and Baba ran to the office to ask all the gods to draw the key points.

There are homework received from three classes across the desk. Chen Ziyou despises his students for their lack of backbone. The junior college entrance examination is frightened like this: "It's not just one exam, it scares you... I played games online the day before the college entrance examination, it's okay, no Difficult, let’s go.”

Ouyang Li gladly accepted the small eyes eager for knowledge, and used half of the class to lead everyone to draw the key points. It is very good to praise this spirit and encourage everyone to study hard and ask more questions. The door of knowledge is always open to them.

It was early summer, and the doors and windows of the self-study class were half-opened, and there were gusts of damp wind through the hall, and the top of the pants stuck to the seat was covered with sweat after a while.

There is too much content to memorize, Yang Luo really can't stand it anymore, and muttered on the table: "I will never forget the geography class that day, and now everything I see seems to be the key point."

Yao Xianhui nodded empathetically: "Oujiao's key point of Schrödinger's life series is that after memorizing a book, there will always be a test."

Chen Ziyou cast a look on the podium: "Quiet, you are not afraid of the exam, are you? Learn by yourself."

The wind from the air conditioner, the bell for class, and the small slip of paper that was caught sneaking in, all turned into shiny pieces in a hurry, just like the countless gloomy summers before.

Ouyang Li had to go back to City J during the summer vacation.

An old classmate is working as a master's supervisor at his alma mater. Halfway through the new project, he encountered a bottleneck, and the investigation and analysis could not be completed due to lack of manpower. Ouyang Li was ordered to go back and see if he could help.

The day before, Ouyang Li hummed a song and packed his luggage, while Chen Ziyou flicked back and forth on the TV channel in boredom: "I think you just want to escape the summer vocational training."

Ouyang Li laughed for a while: "That's right. You have to write eight articles on training experience, each with [-] words, and only fools can write them."

The idiot who was forced to participate: "... chat as long as you chat, why are you dissing me?"

City J is surrounded by mountains. In summer, it is mostly sunny, but it is too stuffy and there is no wind. The whole city is shrouded in the lingering heat.

Liu Hairan was flipping through the documents, and saw the long-legged handsome man in white entering the door with a gift of condolences, he threw down the book excitedly and gave him a reunion hug: "Old Ou, you finally came to save me!"

Liu Hairan is shorter than him, but his body is very strong. Ouyang Li felt like he was sweating when his chest muscles were tight, and he even asked: "Don't, it's 32 degrees today, let's not embarrass each other, okay?"

Ouyang Li sat down and picked up his collar: "Why don't you see your student, it's too hot for a holiday?"

"It's a good idea, half of the project is a fart." Liu Hairan said: "Let me go abroad for research and practice, and don't come back if I can't write the report well."

The office buildings in the old campus are not equipped with air-conditioning, and the effect of natural ventilation is limited. Ouyang Li has spent four years here and naturally feels the same.

He rolled up his sleeves and looked through the nearby materials: "Let's talk about it first, and I will help read two papers and write something. Don't ask me to do manual work."

"All right, all right, you have the final say. If someone helps me, I will be grateful." Liu Hairan sighed: "In recent years, our professional employment prospects have been sluggish. People would rather cross majors than take the exam here, and the rest of the books have not been read. Dare to hand over the thesis to me after just a few books...a rubbish thing made up of random things, it makes my liver ache with anger."

The cicadas were singing, and Ouyang Li pushed a cup of milk tea over: "Calm down, it's a hot day."

Liu Hairan waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this, are you happy working there?"

Ouyang Li half-jokingly said: "It's okay, there is nothing else except regular spiritual counseling."

Liu Hairan laughed loudly: "Semi-college students are hard to manage. Two days ago, the professor heard that you are going to come back and study with me all the time. I really don't think about going back to the university to be a tutor or something?"

"Let's talk about it. It's hard to manage students of any age. You can manage graduate students. If you are an adult and have the ability to think independently, don't you also get angry from the paper?"

Liu Hairan smacked his lips: "...That's true, I'm just a messenger, I guess the professor will have to ask when he sees you, you should think about it."

The other party didn't continue, Ouyang Li understood what he meant.University tutors are also tiring, but it is better than worrying about the college entrance examination.

When he first returned to China, the professor deliberately asked him to stay in school. With his level, it is not a problem with the project or the lecturer.Ouyang Li insisted on returning to high school to teach, and then traveled frequently throughout the year.

Fortunately, his goal in life has always been firm. The anxious days in high school were the starting point and motivation. Changes will make him tired, but he will not waver.Professor Liu is getting older, so he can't help but say something more, and he can understand it.

Father was invited to attend a school lecture in the afternoon, and it was not over yet, so there was only him and Ms. Feng for dinner.When the old story was brought up again, Ms. Feng was very surprised: "Why did you suddenly talk about job transfer?"

When Ouyang Li was picking up food for her, he replied: "My classmate asked for Professor Liu, so we chatted by the way."

"Your child has made up his mind since he was a child and can't change it. He's just like your father." Ms. Feng lowered her head to scoop up the soup, her voice soft and soft: "You can decide your own affairs, and the most important thing is to follow your heart. Your father and I didn't come At the age where you can't take care of yourself, you don't need to worry about it, just take care of yourself."

"Well, I know."

Ms. Feng has been well maintained, and the years have treated her tenderly, and her state is far beyond the youth of her peers.Ouyang Li and her hadn't seen each other for half a year. Perhaps it was because of his sentimentality over the age of 30 that he suddenly became nervous about some details.

Facing the sudden heavy affection, Ouyang Li couldn't remain calm.

This kind of abnormality was sudden, submerged without warning, and he pinched his seven inches and knocked hard.

Just now when his mother handed him the soup bowl, the edema of the blood vessels on the back of his hand and the faint wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to remind him that he and they were not young anymore.

"Don't worry, I know." Ouyang Li changed the topic: "By the way, Mom, I forgot to book a plane ticket before I came back. I may have to stay for two more days before going back."

Ms. Feng said a few words to him, Ouyang Li accepted it obediently, got up to clean up the dishes, carried the table to rebook the ticket, pretending that he hadn't seen his mother's eyes that couldn't hide his joy.

The holidays passed by in a flash, Ouyang Li looked up information during the day to revise the thesis, cooked for the old couple at night, and occasionally played games with Chen Ziyou on voice, the special effects sound filled his free time.

This area belongs to a relatively low-key wealthy area. Li Li's family is also here. Ouyang Li has never seen his parents. The huge villa goes in and out by himself. Later, he settled in City A. The old house here is not for sale, and people clean it regularly Not desolate, pure money to burn.

In the afternoon, Ouyang Li passed by and saw a familiar car parked on the parking lot of the old house. He hesitated and went to ring the doorbell. When Li left the door, he couldn't help but wondered: "You're really back, what's going on?"

"The film crew is shooting the scene, I'll come and take a look." After all these years, Li Li's frown is still a bit fierce, with a sharp aggressiveness in his bones, like a cub with no relatives: "Did you hear the call?"

"I heard, the professor is beside me, it's not polite for me to pick it up."

Ouyang Li mentioned to him about the transfer, Li Li raised his eyebrows: "You still don't agree to come back?"

"Why do you agree? I did a good job in the attached middle school. Teacher Xiao Chen told me yesterday that the teacher's subsidy has increased." Ouyang Li stood at the entrance and didn't go in: "By the way, remember to come home for dinner after work, my mother Stewed ribs today."

He just turned around when someone grabbed his wrist from behind.

In the dog days, the high temperature that can't wait to drain the water, but the touch that can't be avoided in hot weather is cold.Ouyang Li was stunned for a moment and didn't move. He moved his arms upwards, his eyes full of doubts: "Lao Li?"

Li Li grasped that wrist, subtly suppressing the trembling with too tight force: "Ouyang Li, tell me the truth. What happened to you and him?"

He is a businessman, and the business circle is like a fish in water. He should be decisive and keep room for survival. His shrewd and capable protective attitude has completely failed in front of Ouyang Li, and he is indecisive to the extreme.

It was very straightforward, Ouyang Li thought about it, and shook his head in the same doubt: "I don't know, friendly roommate who shares the rent?"

Enraged by his attitude, Li Li frowned and said, "It's useless not to talk, what do you mean you don't know? I've known you for more than ten years, so it's useless to prevaricate me."

Han Hun is full of fart, no one is more sober than Ouyang Li, his personality has been cultivated, and his feelings have never been ambiguous.

"I will never prevaricate you." From the beginning to the end, Ouyang Li was much calmer than the other party, turned his arms twice, and gently pulled out of the shackles: "Then if, I really don't know, but I want to try to take a step, try Chasing people, is this answer okay?"

If it was the same situation as a few years ago, with the gloomy lights, the half-closed dormitory door, and the faint smile on the other party's face, Li Li would definitely punch Ouyang Li in the face without hesitation.

But no, nothing.

The sun was warm and the layout was comfortable and bright. Ouyang Li withdrew his usual gentle expression, and his solemn appearance almost didn't look like him.

A handful of sand leaked out between his fingers, Li Li relieved some of his strength.

I can't sleep well with my heart full of worries, and my dreams are also weird.The planned half-hour nap lasted for a full two hours, and my eyes were pierced by the mobile phone's work reminder, and I was shocked to realize that the sun had already set outside the window.

The cloud cover in the middle of the mountain is visible to the naked eye, and the night is dark and pink, and the surroundings are quiet, and it seems that you can hear the heartbeat with your ears buried in the pillow.

Unable to sleep well, Li Li turned on the small lamp at hand, and rubbed between his brows in the dim yellow shadow.The content of the dream was tortuous and real, but he knew it was a dream from beginning to end.

It's not worth mentioning after all.

When we first met, Li Li was just promoted to junior high school, with a stubborn personality and disobedience, he got into trouble with people who shouldn't be messed with, and was cut across the alley.

Ouyang Li passed by with an ice cream, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stood in front of the gangster, helping him while criticizing how dangerous it was, how many times he had said that junior high school students were forbidden to fight, and he couldn't do this next time.

In the end, Li Li was unharmed, Ouyang Li lost his ice cream and a schoolbag, Li Li was nosy about his business, and reluctantly gave him an overturned ice cream afterwards.

Ouyang Li was elected as the president of the student department in high school, and helped him erase his late record countless times. After school, he took the subway to eat Japanese food. Ouyang Li held a bottle of marble soda and sighed repeatedly: If you don’t listen, I can’t beat you. What are you doing? Will be more obedient.

Later, miraculously, he was admitted to the same university and lived in the same dormitory across majors; Ouyang Li was still as gentle as the snow melting in early spring, and it was also him who said frivolously that I would not hide it from you. .

The clouds are light and the wind is light, as if one can live on dew, a farce full of disasters, and only Li Li himself is caught in it from beginning to end.

Li Li once thought that there would be someone who would always take care of him, help him fight, give him a backrest, and lean on his shoulder when he was drunk, blinking his drunken eyes and smiling innocently, making him even more humble.

I don't know if I should regret it, but I didn't dare to ask for a kiss when I was drunk.

But now there should be no more thoughts, no more dreams.
