Do you understand Euclid today?

His back was still in front of my eyes, I ran towards him and grabbed his wrist: "Are you okay?"

I could feel how much restraint it took him to make his trembling less obvious.

"I'm fine," he probably didn't realize that he was smiling badly, and repeated again, "I'm fine."

We had no contact for a whole winter vacation.

On the night of New Year's Eve, I edited a New Year's greetings text message and sent it to him. I didn't receive his short reply until late at night on the third day of the new year.On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, all the local high school classmates went out to eat together. During the dinner, someone asked me about Euclid's recent situation, and I found that I knew very little about it.

"I heard that he entered the training team of your school's big number competition?" A classmate asked me.

I nodded: "Yes."

"He should apply for Tsinghua University... Tsinghua University's big number competition team is the strongest in the country." A classmate of the university in the imperial capital said with emotion, "It's a pity."

The people present all expressed their incomprehension of Euclid, and they did not understand why he, who performed steadily in the college entrance examination, chose this university in this city when he filled out his application form.It’s not that my alma mater is not good, but it’s not enough to compare it with Tsinghua University.I vaguely knew some of his thoughts, but he never told me about them himself.

"Why didn't he come today?" Another classmate asked me.

I can only laugh and say I don't know, I haven't heard from him for several days.

The relationship between me and him has developed in such a weird direction. In the past, I only dared to secretly look at him in the name of drinking milk tea in the milk tea shop. Now that he doesn't take the initiative to contact me, I dare not take the initiative to contact him at all.Many times I have made up my mind to visit his house, but thinking of the skinny woman I saw at his house in my sophomore year, I am worried that he does not welcome me to visit.

Everyone has some secrets that they don't want to tell, I'm afraid he won't tell them, and he doesn't want me to see them.

After all, he is such a proud man.

After hesitating, the winter vacation was over, and I couldn't wait to pack my luggage and go to school, hoping to go to the dormitory as soon as possible to meet Euclid, whom I hadn't seen during the holiday.But when I walked into the dormitory excitedly, what greeted me was the news that Euclid had asked for leave.

Although I couldn't see him, it gave me a reason to contact him proactively.I found him on WeChat and asked him: "I heard from the school committee that you asked for leave, what's the matter?"

His reply was still as plain as water: "Well, I have something to do, I'll be back a few days later."

I don't know how long his "a few days" are, so I can only reply dryly: "Okay, I will help you take notes."

Euclid's reply was still polite, he said, "Thank you."

When my notes reached page No.13, Euclid finally came back.

The day he came back coincided with the end of our class, and when I dragged my exhausted body and opened the door of the dormitory, I met him standing on the balcony from afar.

He was still wearing the black woolen coat we wore on the day we said goodbye last semester, standing under the incandescent light, he looked even thinner.

Seeing me standing in a daze at the door, the other two roommates craned their necks to look in. Seeing Euclid's return, they happily passed me and greeted him: "You're back."

"Yeah." He still looked calm.

"How's it going?" one of the roommates asked.

His eyes darkened: "It's over."

——It wasn't until a long time later that he and I really became friends that we talked about everything, that I didn't know what happened during those days.

Euclid's mother's illness came and went, but she still didn't survive that winter and left this world at the end of the Spring Festival.He asked for a leave of absence from the academy, took care of all the funeral affairs by himself, and returned to school quietly.

I didn't know it at the time, all I could see was that he was thinner than ever.

During his absence, two other roommates occupied his bed with messy things-even though he agreed, which also prevented Euclid from lying in his own bed on the night he returned.

The roommate was a little guilty, and proposed to let him sleep in his own bed, and squeezed with another person who occupied the bed.I glanced at the disheveled quilt of the two of them, and I knew that Euclid, who was mildly obsessed with cleanliness, should resist it in his heart.

"You squeeze with me." I said to Euclid.

I don't know if I blushed when I spoke, but my heart was beating extremely fast.

I said to the other two roommates an excuse I had thought up: "You have a lot of valuables on the bed, so it's not good to bump into them."

Euclid stared into my eyes, and when I was about to run away, he said, "Okay, I will trouble you."

No trouble.I said in my heart.

After washing the dormitory, the lights were turned off, and he and I lay shoulder to shoulder on the not spacious dormitory bed, and it became very difficult to turn around.In the dark, the senses are infinitely magnified, so I feel the breath of Euclid all around me.

Euclid's sleeping posture is very correct, his two hands are placed on the sides of the body, and I can trace the shape of his hands with my hands through the thin quilt.He hadn't spoken for a long time, and his chest rose and fell gently with his breathing.

I couldn't help stretching out my hand from under the quilt and groping for his hand quietly.His hand was so close that I touched my knuckles easily.

I grabbed his hand through the quilt, so lightly that I thought it was a dream.

It was very late at night, and all I could hear was the beating of my own heart.

Lin Qianshu grabbed Jiang Yizhi's wrist many times, mostly unintentionally or when expressing emotions, and when he realized that he was holding his hand, he had already separated.He has never experienced this kind of "dream-like" handle.

He tentatively reached out to Jiang Yizhi.

Hands easily broke through each other's quilt, feeling the warmth of the skin.Lin Qianshu babbled a few words, turned over pretending to be asleep, so that his hands could be more realistic.

With his eyes closed, Lin Qianshu couldn't figure out what to do, and scratched in the other quilt in a futile manner.Suddenly, he felt more strength on his wrist.Then he moved towards Jiang Yizhi uncontrollably.

In the darkness, Lin Qianshu felt the strength on his wrist disappear, and then the hand that was restraining him just now came from his side and pulled him into his arms.

I didn't experience the dreamy handshake, but the flying heartbeat came to me.Lin Qianshu's eyes opened suddenly, and he stared at the buttons on Jiang Yizhi's pajamas.

The person who was hugging him was no longer moving, and his breathing became calm again, as if he had accidentally found a pillow to hug him in his sleep.

Lin Qianshu didn't dare to move - after all, he was the one who started the matter first, even if he wanted to question Jiang Yizhi, he seemed to have to explain clearly why he reached out and fumbled.

Forget it, so be it.Before falling into a second deep sleep, Lin Qianshu thought in a daze.

Waking up the next morning, Lin Qianshu found that he was the only one left in the room again. He lifted the quilt and got up, a little suspecting that the scene of sleeping together hugging each other last night happened in his dream.After breakfast, the two went to work together as usual. Seeing Jiang Yizhi's calm appearance, Lin Qianshu once again doubted the authenticity of what happened last night.

"I didn't do anything strange after I fell asleep last night, did I?" Lin Qianshu asked tentatively.

Jiang Yizhi's expression still showed nothing: "No."

Lin Qianshu breathed a sigh of relief, probably Jiang Yizhi really treated himself as a pillow yesterday, and this morning he also slept on the other side of the bed with confidence.

Lin Qianshu gave himself full marks for being bold and reckless and able to retreat unscathed.

The relaxed Lin Qianshu was happy again, and happily posted a message on Moments: "An ordinary day becomes extraordinary because of Friday."

With a "ding dong", someone began to reply immediately below.

Qiu Yuanshan: "An ordinary Friday becomes extraordinary because of the day ♂day♂."

Jiang Yixing: "Are you crazy? There is still class on Saturday morning."

Radar replied to Jiang Yixing: "Brother Jiang, Brother Lin has no class on Saturday morning..."

Xiang Xiaojun: "Come on!"

Wang Siyu: "Every day with my brother is extraordinary!"

Seeing Wang Siyu's reply, Lin Qianshu couldn't help but chat with her privately, "Aren't you afraid of being seen by Jiang Yixing?"

Wang Siyu: "It's okay, he didn't add me on WeChat."

Why does it look so sad... Lin Qianshu glanced at Jiang Yizhi, who was concentrating on driving beside him, and felt sorry for Wang Siyu for a second.

After swiping for a while, Lin Qianshu noticed that Lao Lin had also liked and commented on his circle of friends.

Lao Lin: "How do you know that your mother and I are coming back today?"

Lin Qianshu was startled - Lao Lin and Ms. Ming are going back to China?Before he had time to think about it, his hand had already dialed Lao Lin's WeChat number very honestly.

Lao Lin quickly picked it up: "Hey, little tree."

"Dad, are you and Mom going back to China today?" Lin Qianshu confirmed the news he had seen again.

"Yes," the airport was a little noisy, and Lao Lin's voice was a little louder, "The luggage has been checked in, and it's time to go through the security check later."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lin Qianshu felt that his son was a little incompetent, and he didn't even know when his parents would return to China.

Lao Lin's tone sounded a bit disapproving: "Why tell you this?"

"I'm here to pick you up." Lin Qianshu said.

"Forget it, you are a person who has forgotten how to drive a car, and you have to take up multiple parking spaces when you come to pick us up. It's too much trouble." Lao Lin said disgustedly.

Lin Qianshu was beaten up by his father, and his voice became softer: "There are four seats in a car, why does it take up the parking space..."

"Okay, my car is still in the parking lot of the airport. We will drive back by ourselves, so you don't have to worry about it." Lao Lin said, "Call Xiao Jiang tomorrow, and let's go out for a meal together."

Lin Qianshu covered his phone, turned to Xiao Jiang next door, "My dad asked you to go out for dinner tomorrow."

"Okay." Jiang Yizhi replied.

Lin Qianshu was stunned, he didn't expect Jiang Yizhi to agree so readily.

"Okay." So Lin Qianshu acted as a mouthpiece, and said to Lao Lin on the other end of the phone.

After the two briefly talked about the time and place on the phone, Lao Lin suddenly remembered that Jiang Yizhi had a younger brother: "By the way, Xiao Jiang's younger brother also came to eat together."

This is an easy answer, Lin Qianshu said: "Tomorrow, the first year of senior high school will make up the lessons that were left behind in the previous club performance, and there will be no rest."

"So..." Lao Lin sounded a little regretful, "Then invite him to eat next time."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Qianshu couldn't help being excited.

After losing his memory, he hadn't seen Lao Lin and Ms. Ming in "seven years later", just thinking about it, he began to look forward to it.
