Since putting the bag of things in front of Xie Lian's house in the morning, Jiang Ye has been dizzy all morning.

Although the cracked fishing line was already weak, he had never been a person who cut the fishing line himself, so he would inevitably wonder whether it was too decisive and too unkind for him to do so.

"Where is it unreasonable?" Feng Chu said, "If it was me, I would throw it in his face."

Lin Hua just came over after ordering food, and happened to listen to such a mouth amidst the noise of the cafeteria.He also sat down next to the river and asked, "Throwing what? Whom?"

Jiang also hurriedly said, "No, no one."

Feng Chu said, "Don't worry about it."

"Oh." Lin Hua lost interest, picked up the chopsticks and began to pick up the rice, "I thought I was going to fight again with those from No. [-] Middle School."

Following Jiang Ye's hand movements, the little tofu ball stopped three centimeters in front of the owner's lips, and was pinched away the next second.Jiang also pinched his chopsticks, and looked at Lin Hua worriedly, "Why do you keep thinking about fighting? Are you okay with your hand injury yesterday?"

"It's okay," Feng Chu said, "he has a thick skin."

Lin Hua also responded cheerfully, "I have thick skin, I have thick skin."

Jiang also laughed and ate the delicious tofu balls with a grin, feeling a little brighter.

"Hey, have you heard?" Lin Hua suddenly poked him with his elbow, "There will be a chemistry quiz in the afternoon, about the experimental topic."

The smile on Jiang Ye's face disappeared instantly.

At night, he walked home dejectedly.

He tapped his head with his fist, feeling extremely remorseful.The quiz was obviously the experiment he did the day before, but when he saw the test paper today, his mind was still blank.Which ion to detect first?Whose interference should be ruled out first?Countless chemical symbols flew back and forth in his consciousness, but he couldn't make up the correct option.

After procrastinating to the front of the third unit, Jiang also raised his neck, and there was a small, dark square mixed with the big bright light.That was Room 302, his deserted home.

He looked away, walked up the steps slowly, stopped when he reached the top step, patted his buttocks and sat down on the spot.

Warm yellow unit lights were cast from above, and he squinted his eyes, as if he could see the dust in the air swirling and rising under the light—I don’t know if they are going to the beams or heaven—in short, they are all moving lightly. Dancing, a carefree look.

But Jiang is also human, so he has worries.

He sighed.

However, he didn't know if it was an illusion or what, after sighing, he seemed to hear other voices that didn't belong to him.

Jiang Yexin said, could it be Echo?

So he coughed again.

The strange voice sounded again——

"Jiang Ye."

The sound scared Jiang to the bone, and the saliva he hadn't swallowed just now choked into his throat, causing him to cough loudly.When he finally calmed down, he vaguely heard a laugh.

Jiang also searched for the source of the sound, and saw a spark of a cigarette in the darkness.

It's Xie Lian.The positions of the two of them were exactly the same as the day they met. If it wasn't for the night that served as a warning, he even felt in a trance that this was their first meeting, as if he hadn't experienced it at all during the intervening days.He would say, my name is Jiang Ye, the one in the third row, and you.Then Xie Lian would introduce herself naturally, saying, my name is Xie Lian.

But how could the things that have happened be erased?

Jiang also turned his face back silently, only staring at the stones on the ground, without making a sound.

"Jiang Ye," Xie Lian called out, "come here."

Jiang also said, "No."

Xie Lian suppressed his voice and bit the words harder, "Come here."

The surroundings were too quiet, or there were emotional ups and downs, Xie Lian's breathing could be clearly heard in the empty air.

Jiang also said, "No."

"Yes." Xie Lian said, "Then I'll come over."

Jiang also rubbed his fingertips nervously with his thumb.

He really didn't understand what Xie Lian wanted to do.Why didn't I get a good face when I went to get to know him, but now that I kept the distance as he wished, he took the initiative to talk to him instead?

Obviously, as long as they don't provoke each other, both of them will be happy.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Jiang Ye quickly said, "Don't come here."

Xie Lian cursed "grass", stopped, and stood not far from him and asked, "Okay, I'll just stand here and talk. What do you mean by the bag in the morning?"

Jiang also opened his mouth, "It's not interesting."

"fart."

"..."

Xie Lian wanted to ask, but was interrupted by him.

"I'm leaving." Jiang Ye said quickly.He stood up, and before he even had time to dust off his pants, he turned and walked into the unit door, his bright figure disappearing into the darkness.

But in the unit, he stopped again, "Smoke less." After saying this, he hurried upstairs.

Xie Lian stood there with a vague expression on his face.

The sweet aroma of grape popping pearls has gradually dissipated, and the faint bitter taste of tobacco spreads from the base of the tongue. Xie Lian took a last puff of the cigarette, and then crushed the sparks against the wall on one side.He reached into his pocket again to look for chocolate, only to find that it had been covered by the pocket of his school uniform for a day, and it had almost melted. As soon as he tore off the wrapping paper, the sticky cocoa mixture would rub against his fingertips.He lowered his head and licked it, and the soft sweetness bloomed on the tip of his tongue.

Xie Lian thought, does this stuff taste good in the first place?
