I still don't want to go to school today

"Recently, be careful not to catch a cold, don't stay up late to read books, and get a good rest. Also, it's very important: don't eat too spicy these days! You young people have a strong taste, and you don't like spicy food... It’s not worthwhile to go to the bathroom when you have a stomachache and go to the toilet. It’s not worth it. It’s also best not to eat outside—you eat in the cafeteria, what about the weekend?”

"Eat at home." Xu Zhibian's home.

"Ah, that's good. You should get used to the food cooked by your grandma." Teacher Ye took out his phone and checked the time. "Tonight and tomorrow, we won't be required to go to self-study at the same time. What are your plans?"

"I probably won't be in school."

"It's fine to go home to rest and adjust. Call me if you have any difficulties. Your grandma is getting old, and many things are inconvenient. Remember, everyone and everything will make way for you at this time. You are the most important, The most caring person to protect."

"……Um."

Hearing what she said didn’t make me feel deeply. I saw the signs of “free pick-up and drop-off of college entrance examination candidates” posted on the bodies of taxis all over the street, parasols set up outside the test center, and boxes of free mineral springs distributed to passing students under the parasols. Water, he felt a little turmoil in his heart.

The earlier description was accurate, he did feel himself lying in front of a hole the size of his thumb, trying to squeeze himself out of this place.With a slight movement, every joint in the body will crack.

Those who are not in school for self-study tomorrow have to go back to the classroom to remove the books.

He threw away the backpack he had used in high school for three years. Before throwing it away, he rummaged through it for a long time, and found the pen that his mother bought him that didn't work very well.Prepare one test paper after another, and put the textbooks into the storage box in order.He looked at the row of spines, only to find that the publishers of the textbooks of each subject were slightly different.

"Who else hasn't handed in the admission ticket? After talking for a long time, how many people still haven't handed in the exam, are they deaf?" Li Wenjia asked impatiently. "If you don't pay in another minute, I won't accept it, and you will bear the consequences."

"Li Xin and Sun Qiya, do you count? Without them, they didn't report their names in January."

"Oh. Who else doesn't take the exam?"

Fu Luojia had the urge to raise his hand in a thousandth of a second to signal that he would not take the exam, although he knew that this urge was very neurotic.

"Also, Director Ye asked me to inform that the class graduation photos will be taken at four o'clock in the afternoon. Come if you like." The last sentence was probably added by Li Wenjia himself.

He really didn't go.Xu Zhibian did not take part in the group photo of the class and the group photo of the student union members, because the stage where the photo was taken was too sunny.

He stacked Xu Zhiyan's bookcase on top of his own, tied it up with a suspected black dog leash that Xu Zhiyan gave him, and put it on the back seat of the bicycle.

Xu Zhibian rode staggeringly for a few meters, turned around and was about to smile at him, when the books in the box slammed onto the fallen leaves covering the sidewalk.

He sighed and went to pick up the book.Xu Zhibian was helping to pick it up at the beginning, but when he couldn't hold it in his arms, he stood aside and bent down to kiss him when he opened the cover of the language to check the name-this caused the high school textbooks he had stored for many years to be damaged. A considerable part belonged to Xu Zhibian.

It's not that there are no passers-by, but the heart that seemed to be stuck in the throat these days has gradually returned to its original place with this kiss.

He swallowed.The eardrums made a soft sound, and the cicadas blew in more clearly.

……

The job is not very far from Xu Zhiben's house, and it takes a few minutes to get there by taxi, passing by Zhenzhen Noodle Restaurant on the way.

Because they got up early, they went directly by bicycle.

The business of Zhenzhen Noodle Restaurant was not good on the day of the college entrance examination.Fu Luojia didn't have much appetite shortly after he got up, and when he saw the chopstick holder on the table at the door, his heart suddenly moved, and he dragged Xu Zhijian into it by some coincidence.

The proprietress is not here.The proprietress' daughter was busy in front of the chopping board, she raised her eyes to see Fu Luojia, showing a hint of surprise.

"Are you Aunt Xia's son? So much has changed—by the way, the exam is today!" She clapped her hands and turned on the fan. "Aren't you nervous? Is it hot like this? Didn't you blow it on, it's easy to get dizzy if you blow it on—"

It had been a long time since he and Xu Zhibian sat and ate noodles so opposite each other.After the improvement, the beef in the back is not as bad as before, and the soup has become more fresh.

Zhenzhen paced back and forth, "It's nothing, don't be nervous, you'll find out after the exam that it's all over. Besides, your grades are good, much better than mine—you'll definitely do very well in the exam."

Fu Luojia took a few mouthfuls and stopped eating, and took another pair of clean chopsticks to help Xu Zhijian pick up the chopped green onions in the soup.

When paying the bill, Zhenzhen clenched her fist and said to him, "Come on!"

"……thanks."

Except for this breakfast, he was not particularly impressed with the rest of the things afterwards.The paper passed to the hand in a breath-holding solemn atmosphere, which is said to be the condensed effort of countless testers, is an ordinary paper. The printing, paper, and content are all ordinary, which seems to be different from the usual hundreds of thousands of questions. , it seems the same again.

The only difference he felt was that this set of questions was simpler than other questions he had done.

But simplicity does not mean that he can do it right, and he really can't remember some places.Anyway he did his best.

There are a few minutes left after the composition is finished.There was one in front who kept shaking his legs, and there was also someone who slept on his stomach.

The final bell was very refreshing.

Xu Zhibian stood out among the crowd of mournful faces, and happily came over to hold him: "I've read that novel before."

The people around looked at him in unison for an instant, but he had no intention of saying anything further. "What to eat for lunch?"

The first class can be regarded as an early adopter, and the remaining subjects are a bit tormented.He didn't feel particularly good after finishing the math, but there was nothing he could do.After the final English class, the whole building was cheering, and the invigilator also had a smile on his face.

The final test paper was taken away, he stood up from his seat, and found that his legs were so weak that he could only walk slowly.

Just... over?

It's over.

There were many parents waiting outside the cordon of the middle school, and the passage at the door was a bit crowded.There were too many people, and he couldn't find Xu Zhijian.As he walked, someone grabbed his arm and pulled him aside. He turned his head, and it was Li Shuyi.

"There is a break-up meal that the whole class has to attend, so come and gather first!"

"I..." He didn't want to go.

"Oh, the second class is in a restaurant with us, and Xu Zhijian will come too."

He was taken to a Chinese restaurant in a daze.The lobby of the restaurant was full of students who had finished their exams, and the atmosphere was hot.

There were seven or eight tables in Class Nine.He chose a table with few people and near the window to sit down, and the empty seat around him was full within 2 minutes.Looking around, no one is familiar.

Just after the exam, neither he nor Xu Zhijian had a mobile phone, so they couldn't get in touch for the time being.The boy on the right is checking the answer with someone, his movements and voice are extremely exaggerated.

He is more irritable.

Li Shuyi brought the wine, it was still white, and the glass bottle rattled in the cardboard box.

"Where is class two?" he asked.However, it was too noisy, and she was still saying hello to other people, and she didn't hear it at all.

He stood up.The girl sitting at the aisle actively asked: "What do you want? It's not convenient to go out now, I'll pass it to you."

I can't even deliver it.He sat down helplessly, suppressed his thoughts and waited for the dishes to be served honestly.

The air conditioner in this restaurant is not efficient enough, Fu Luojia is so hot that he is sweating.

The boys are already booing and fighting for wine.

A normally low-key girl stood up first, holding a wine bottle in her right hand and a wine glass in her left, pouring wine around the table and toasting one by one.He couldn't refuse when it was his turn, so he took a sip meaningfully after clinking glasses.

She gulped down, and even showed him the bottom of the cup.

Fu Luojia suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It's been two years, and today I have the courage to tell you—" The girl's hand holding the cup shook violently, she raised her eyes to meet his gaze, and then lowered her head to look at the ground. "I--"

"Oh oh oh-"

"together together together--!!"

Amidst the booing, Youdao said in a puzzled and calm voice: "He is gay, so there are still people who don't know?"

The sound wave spread, and finally the whole hall shouted "together", and even the waiters stopped to inquire.But the lively inner circle, that is, the table in front of him, was unusually quiet at this moment.They should be the same as him and heard that sentence clearly.

The girl suddenly threw the wine glass on the table: "Is it none of your business to be gay?! What does it have to do with who he likes and I like him? I just want to say that I like him today! What's wrong, do you have any opinions? Any opinions are fine." Shut up the fuck! Fu Luojia!"

He blankly replied: "Huh?"

"I like you, you hear that now?"

"um. Thank you."

She rubbed her eyes and turned her head to the other side. "I knew that was your reaction. It didn't mean anything."

Anyway, I ate and drank, so I should go.It was dark—he glanced out of the half-open French window, then froze.

"……I have something to go."

"Hey you—the door is not far away!"

……

Xu Zhibian mentioned before that he would celebrate after the college entrance examination, but in fact, both of them were extremely tired that night after the exam—Xu Zhibian emphasized that he had “didn’t drink a drop”—and fell asleep on the sofa after returning. Night.

In fact, there was an oral test on the third day, but it was very watery and no one paid much attention to it.However, some people used this to return to school to engage in some very ceremonial activities, such as tearing up books.

Du Ran ran into him, gave him a kind smile, then rushed into the empty grade office behind him, pointed at the female principal's desk and cursed.

A little funny and a little sad.

Senior one and senior two are still in class.Someone screamed ghostly in front of the teaching building, and then quarreled with the teacher who was yelled out of the classroom.

"Do you have the ability to remember me? Do you know that I graduated!"

"A bunch of social dregs! Don't say they came from the county in the future!"

The trees in the school are losing their leaves in large numbers, and they are so bald that people worry about it.The pile of sand and gravel was shoveled away, and a new building behind the badminton court took shape. I heard it was a laboratory building.

He looked back, "Let's go."
