Years old

When going down the mountain, Qi Songyan couldn't find Qin Di no matter what. The signal in the mountain was not good, and Qin Di's phone couldn't get through. He quickly passed through the crowd, but when he returned to the square, he found that he was the first to arrive.Qin Di and Tong Chenxing came down from the mountain after a while, and Li Shuai followed closely behind, and when he saw Qi Songyan, he asked him to form a team.

Back on the bus, everyone sat down and sighed "It's better to be flat".On the return journey, everyone tacitly chose the same seats as when they came, and the tiredness confiscated the laughter, and the carriage gradually fell into silence.Qin Di covered the curtains tightly, faced the window frame, hugged the backpack tightly, and fell asleep to the deafening music in a whole-body defensive posture.

However, it is not possible to close your eyes and the world can be completely dark. The shadows outside the window continue to pass through the curtains that do not block the light. , bringing together indescribably complex emotions.It's torture, it's suffering, it's in your hand but you can't hold it anymore.Qin Di didn't have the strength to face anything anymore. For the first time, he had the thought that it would be good if he had money. If he had money, it would be easier to transfer to another school.

In a daze, he heard Li Mingxuan asking Qi Songyan in a low voice: "What's wrong with the flute, do you sleep back and forth?"

"Maybe a little motion sickness, let him rest, I'm exhausted today."

"It's amazing. It's a bit difficult for him to run a thousand. I didn't expect to be able to insist on rushing to the second place today."

Qin Di thought, that's not persistence, it's just that he knows that he won't be able to in the future.As he was thinking, a candy suddenly slipped from his lips, and was gently pushed in by the warm fingertips, spreading the sweet and sour taste of Huamei on the tip of his tongue.With this candy in his mouth, he turned around the corner again, and in the shadow with his back to everyone, his eyes quickly turned red.

Standing at the door of Grandma Xia's barber shop, he found that the soil in the flowerpots had been turned over, and some of them had sprouted seedlings, green and fluffy to absorb the spring light.He opened the door, and the wind chime sounded a crisp scale. On a weekday afternoon, there was no one in the store. Grandma Xia heard the sound coming out of the curtain in the house. Seeing him, she smiled and pulled his wrist: "Flute Why did Di come at this time?"

"Today we came of age and went to climb the mountain."

"How fast you said, the little baby has grown into an adult."

Qin Di put her bag on the sofa, took off her coat, and pulled her bangs that swept her eyebrows: "Grandma, I want to cut my hair."

"Okay, let's go wash up first."

The hair after washing looked longer than before. Grandma Xia tucked the apron into place, and the hairbrush dexterously flipped a few times. She lowered her head and asked him, "Is it still cut like that?"

"Well, it's better not to be too short."

"When I was young, I would cry every time I came to have my hair cut, and told me not to cut it too short. I also asked if you wanted to keep your hair in a braid, and you said no, because girls only wear braids."

Qin Di suddenly remembered the ponytail, and his eyes darkened.

Before the coming-of-age ceremony, Li Shuai asked each student to bring a photo of their childhood and paste it on the blackboard behind the classroom to commemorate their growth in the blink of an eye.As a result, after class, everyone gathered around Qi Songyan and his photos.The photo of him was taken by Jiang Hong specially carrying him to the photo studio. Yuxue's cute little people, wearing a one-piece panda romper, are playing with a small wooden horse.As for Qi Songyan's appearance of about three or four years old, it can already be seen that he is an exceptionally handsome child, but he is holding a red plaid cloth flower in his hand, and his dimples are full of joy.After the girls said "Mom loves you" to Qin Di's photo, they all went to make fun of Qi Songyan.Qi Songyan scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "My mother's hair loss, I don't know what I thought when I was a child, except for toy cars, I like to play with this. My uncle said I was greedy for a wife, and my mother asked me what kind of wife I planned to find. Hey, I'm holding my hair up and making noises - long hair, braided! How silly it was for me to take a photo of it..."

Qin Di tightly clenched the handkerchief under the apron, the sourness from his nose filled the corners of his eyes.

Just like when he was a child, he begged with tears in his eyes: "Grandma, don't cut me too short. If you cut it too short, you won't be pretty, and no one will like me..."

Granny Xia caressed his shoulder and said softly: "Our Didi are all beautiful, how can anyone not like you!"

"Yes, yes..." He whispered, the tears that had been stored all day finally fell into the broken hair.

The new day is very lively. The exhibition board on the first floor of the main building has updated the content of the Senior Second Coming of Age Ceremony. The designer seemed to know that no one would read those words praising youth, so he drew some lace decorations at will, wrote a few words of copywriting, and pasted up the rest of the blank space. took large photos.

When Wang Churan came back from the main building, he rolled up the paper towels for wiping sweat and threw them into the garbage bag, drool, and described happily: "My God, you can't believe it, it's no wonder that the top star came to Zhongyang Road Mall for an event last year." This is the battle. The inner three floors and the outer three floors, a few seniors were dying, so they took out their mobile phones to take pictures under the surveillance."

Xu Chang was dumbfounded and asked: "What are you looking at them, didn't they climb that mountain last year?"

Li Mingxuan pushed him: "Stupid you, of course you are looking at these two handsome guys in our class!"

Xu Chang moved his staring eyes to Qin Di and Qi Songyan, who were separated by an aisle, both of them looked out of the way.

Zhu Rui tugged on Wang Churan's sleeve and hurriedly urged: "Okay, stop exaggerating, take it out and have a look."

Wang Churan clutched his pocket tightly: "Oh, don't grab it, I really don't dare to take pictures, you guys pass by after school and take a look for yourself. Director Zhang stood behind and stared, and I came back after seeing the excitement. Qin Di's photo is only one , was captured before the departure, but the camera was full of faces, especially the Japanese style of literature and art. The rest are all Qi Songyan, and only the one holding the trophy posted four. Oh, and one is the steep slope before the finish line On the top, Qi Songyan hugged Qin Di and pulled it up, and the bottom said 'Unity and Carrying'. I rely on Qin Di's waist, it's so thin!"

Zhu Rui looked back at Qin Di who was silent on the seat, and winked at Wang Churan: "Hey, don't you think he seems to have lost weight again?"

"It seems to be a little bit. It looks like the hair is cut."

Shi Yuzheng yawned and moved over to lean on Wang Churan's table: "Squad leader, don't study how fat or thin he is. I'll report to the police, there's a thief in our class."

"What's missing?"

"photo."

Several people gathered in front of the blackboard newspaper to examine carefully. The childhood photo wall was designed by Tang Cheng as a splendid peach tree. For the sake of beauty, the photos were reproduced and then washed into four-inch squares and pasted on the branches, leaves and flowers.Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, but from a distance, you can find that there is a piece missing in the lower right corner, and it is the two cards of Qi Songyan and Qin Di that were lost.

"That's okay! Who's the first to arrive today?"

"Isn't it Qin Di? He is usually the first to arrive."

Another girl came over and said weakly: "It wasn't him, I came first, and he came after a while."

"Has anyone ever entered our class?"

"The back door was always open, so I didn't pay attention."

Xu Chang scratched his head: "Besides, since the exhibition boards were changed in the morning, many people came to block the door, and some came in to find someone."

Wang Churan crossed his hips and pondered for a while, then called Tang Cheng: "Is the photo backed up with you? Develop two more and use the strongest glue on it."

"Aren't we going to check?"

Wang Churan raised his voice: "What are you looking for, two photos, and how to adjust the monitoring? Everyone, please pay more attention. When the outside shift comes, try to go out and talk, and don't bring them in. Let's go."

They made a lot of noise at the back of the classroom, but Qin Di was still holding the book and reading without lifting the head.Qi Songyan cast his eyes on his face, scorching his fair skin, but it didn't make him lose a bit of his isolated appearance.He thought that Beng'er had flicked his brain, and he had also moved in solidarity, and that the ice that had formed for some reason should have melted.But in the two days after climbing back from the mountain, Qin Di ignored his existence as before.After two days, his face gradually softened, he no longer ignored him in front of everyone, but he was not warm, and at the same time quietly avoided all the possibility of being alone with him, and the work in the class had to be done in advance , or not at all.A combination of punches made Qi Songyan bewildered and helpless.

It was Friday, and he was full of thoughts about holding him down after school to ask questions, but Li Shuai took the lead in holding him down. Seeing the man running away without a trace with his schoolbag on his back, he had to maintain politeness and ask, "Teacher, is there any help?" What's the matter?"

Li Shuai pushed his glasses, Wannian innocently put on a little smile, as if he wanted to relax the atmosphere, but it was too unnatural, he seemed to be mocking: "Qi Songyan, have you looked at the exhibition board? "

"not yet."

"Look, it's a good shot, and you're handsome. Ah, you've performed well in the past six months, and you've quickly adapted to the rhythm of the liberal arts class. Your grades have steadily improved, and the work of the sports committee has also done a good job. Now you can be regarded as a man of the hour in school. "

Although the expression is strange, but the words are very sincere.Qi Songyan analyzed it, and it seemed that it was not a mockery, so he went along with the situation and said modestly: "Thank you teacher and classmates for helping me."

"However, the second semester of the second year of high school is a watershed, and the learning tasks are heavy. If you are distracted and can't stand up, it is easy to fall behind when you transition to the third year of high school. So, ah, it is a good thing to be popular, but don't be arrogant when you are surrounded by others. If you get lost, if you make any unnecessary connections, you will be the only one who will be delayed."

It was the first time Qi Songyan heard his teacher talk about puppy love in such a tactful manner. His junior high school teacher would directly lift his neck and warn him not to have sex. The little girl will definitely break his legs.Facing the same scene today, he still wants to say that he is more bent than a boomerang, and he doesn't intend to harm the little girl.But now, with Qin Di in his heart, he is no longer so confident.

He nodded politely: "I understand what the teacher said, so I must pay attention."

Li Shuai heaved a sigh of relief seeing him being so upbeat, put back his smirk, and let him go.

When Qi Songyan passed the lobby of the main building, the first and second year of senior high school had almost left, and the third year of senior high school was in evening class.Two long display boards are placed on the chairs, revealing the tiredness of being watched all day in the dim light.He passed by his own "Award Receiving Area" and found the photo posted in the corner.

It was the last part of the journey. At that time, Qin Di's consciousness had been slackened by exhaustion. He couldn't even say "no" when he saw the steep slope that was almost straight up and down. He just kept waving his hands to him, his face pale with sweat. There was no longer the usual stubbornness.He thought that he shouldn't take advantage of others, but he couldn't help it. When he couldn't help but hug this thin waist, he knew that tomorrow would be another morning when he needed to negotiate with his little brother.

Fortunately, his expression in the photo can be called courageous, really like a spiritual model who is eager to help his classmates. No one knows how much he wanted to wipe out the people all over the mountain at once in those few minutes, so that he could put the limp Qin Di pressed in his bosom, lifted the hem of his clothes and touched his waist, anyway, he didn't have the strength to resist.

Touching the photo with his fingertips, he felt a little shame, which was quickly replaced by loss.Don't talk about groping his waist now, hearing Qin Di call him "Qi Miao" is just delusional.He took out his mobile phone and quickly took a picture. The flash light lit up half of the whiteboard, and he immediately fled into the night.
