Restlessness

During the days of the college entrance examination, the school forcibly gave all the first and second graders a two-day vacation, and the following weekend was perfectly combined into a four-day mini-holiday.All the boarding students who have been in school for a long time finally have the idea of ​​going home for a few days.

Xu Yue has nowhere to go without home, so he can only stay in school.It may be to catch up on sleep in the dormitory, or it may be to go to the second floor of the library with a few exercises and workbooks for the first year of high school, and stay for a whole day.

But what is surprising is not the extremely boring campus life, but Gu Yuan got into the black car parked at the school gate two days ago, rolled down the window and told him to go home... Apparently, it wasn't the home they were walking 20 minutes to.

In the next two days, Gu Yuan seemed to have evaporated from the world as a living person. He didn't reply to WeChat, ignored text messages, and turned off his phone...

Until nine o'clock in the evening on the third day of the holiday, Gu Yuan appeared on the stairs of the library with a tired face, and paced for a long time holding his mobile phone.

Xu Yue held a thin exercise book between his fingers, and the moment he stepped out of the library gate, he saw the lonely and helpless figure with his back facing him under the streetlight.

"Gu Yuan?" After not seeing each other for three days, Xu Yue's eyes were full of doubts. He stood still and watched the boy with wrinkled clothes slowly walking towards him, "Why don't you come back tomorrow morning?" ? It's past 9 o'clock in the evening, I thought——you, what's the matter..."

Until he saw Gu Yuan's entire face clearly, Xu Yue just froze in place, and couldn't lift his forward legs anymore.

Gu Yuan's complexion was extremely pale, and he even felt weak as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. His eye sockets were covered with dark brown, and a light gray stubble appeared on his chin, making him look a bit sloppy.

Even the eyes that looked at Xu Yue were cautious and did not dare to look directly.

The scene in front of him dug into Xu Yue's heart from time to time.

"What's the matter?" Xu Yue only had a soft heart when facing Gu Yuan, he was more sensitive than anyone else, "Look around your eyes... How long has it been since you slept well?"

"Xu Yue..." Gu Yuan's voice was hoarse, with a strong nasal voice, he bowed his head for a few seconds and then hugged Xu Yue without hesitation, rubbing the tip of his nose against his ears, "I'm just very Miss you……"

After pushing Gu Yuan halfway and stuffing it into the bathroom, Xu Yue sat back at the long table and looked out the window with his arm resting on his chin. The entire senior year dormitory building next door had been completely vacated a few days ago, and only darkness was ushered in under the night And the howling of the wind.

The campus of the attached high school is more deserted than ever, and the melancholy after parting is everywhere.

On the third day of the holiday, there were few returning students. Xu Yue took a deep breath and heard the sobs coming from the bathroom, although the sound of the water covered it.

Gu Yuan stayed in the bathroom for an entire hour, and finally wiped his hair in front of the mirror a few times and opened the door. The white mist followed him and squeezed into the oppressive space outside, and finally dispersed far away.Xu Yue glanced back at Gu Yuan, obviously only two steps away from him, but why...

It's like there is a gap that can never be crossed, but there is more helplessness that cannot be spoken.

"A Yuan."

"Xu Yue."

Gu Yuan barely pulled out a visible smile, and he waved his hand to signal Xu Yue to speak first.

"Ah Yuan, what's the matter?" Xu Yue suddenly realized that it had been a while since he had seen that unreserved Gu Yuan who would show two canine teeth when he laughed. "If you have anything to tell me, we can solve it together."

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, wiped his hair a few times and threw the towel on the cabinet at the door of the dormitory, then sat next to Xu Yue, his emotions just shrank back like tentacles, he gently leaned against Xu Yue shoulder, and finally just slowly closed his eyes.

"No, it's just that I've been too tired recently. You also know that when people are the most tired, they always think of the person closest to them." After taking a bath, Gu Yuan's voice faded a little nasal, "So, I ran away I'm back. Xu Yue, do you know that it's not very easy to get a taxi at my house at night, so I walked along the beach for an entire hour before finally seeing a taxi..."

Xu Yue suddenly thought of the unconscious sentence between the two of them when they first met Gu Yuan, "Do you live by the sea, it's so lenient".He smiled, turned his head away, and unconsciously pressed his cold lips against Gu Yuan's forehead.

"It turns out that your family really lives by the sea."

"I told you a long time ago, you don't believe me." Gu Yuan said lightly, then put his right hand into his trouser pocket and fumbled for a long time, finally pulled out a rectangular box and threw it on his bed, and finally picked it up from inside. A plastic bag with a slightly raised square in the middle.

"This is..." Xu Yue's eyes widened unconsciously, and his hands trembled slightly, "Gu Yuan?"

"Xu Yue, I want you." Gu Yuan's face was bloodless, and he squeezed Xu Yue's fingers tightly with both hands, "Is it okay..."

Gu Yuan's voice was still low, with a kind of pleading in his words, and the exhaustion in his eyes lingered for a long time.Seeing that Xu Yue didn't respond, Gu Yuan buried his entire face into Xu Yue's neck, and finally licked it with the tip of his tongue.

The atmosphere was instantly ignited, Xu Yue was pushed back by a sudden external force, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell into Gu Yuan's bed, and finally watched Gu Yuan violently tear off the eye-catching plastic bags.

Xu Yue suddenly struggled and pulled out his hand to pinch Gu Yuan's right wrist bone, but his eyes were icy cold.

"Gu Yuan, we never used these things before." Xu Yue said in a low voice, "Why...why... can you sue—Gu, Gu Yuan?..."

Something even colder dripped onto Xu Yue's nose, and then slowly slid into her hair towards the sides, leaving only two faint water marks reflecting the dark light.

Xu Yue sighed suddenly, he withdrew his hand suddenly, his fingertips passed from Gu Yuan's ear to the base of the ear, and finally slid down to his chin along the jaw line.He wiped off the wet marks left on Gu Yuan's face, raised his head and kissed his eyes.

"A Yuan, don't cry, I really feel bad."

Gu Yuan closed his eyes, shook off the square plastic bag he was holding in his hand, and clasped his left hand backwards on the back of Xu Yue's head to aggravate the kiss.

Salty, sweet... and finally all drowned in low-pitched hums and tossing sighs.

……

The college entrance examination ended and everyone returned to school. Thousands of students from 17 classes in the second grade group packed up their things and lined up in a neat line on the tree-lined road. From class A to the last class 15, they stepped into the High school teaching area.

There is no longer the mess they saw before, and the bustling figure still sitting on the stool after the bell rang, and the name and admission ticket number that were too late to tear off in the upper right corner of each single table were pasted two days ago. .

Li Ranran and the others occasionally came to visit, but they also began to avoid talking about many topics.Sometimes Gu Yuan would stare at the playground outside the window in a daze, and sometimes he would pinch Zhou Hui's neck and say a few jokes.Li Ranran likes to play games, but in the end he found the game console in the dormitory and couriered it back home in a free time.There are no expired instant noodle buckets and unsightly comic books on the bed, only various review materials are left.

The number of papers for each class has gradually increased from two or three in the previous week to five or six. Even on the timetable pasted next to the blackboard, a physical education class was scratched by Li Ye with a pen and written on the side. "Self-study".The only regret is that the certificate of "excellent class" was left in the previous class A.

The most important final exam in the eyes of every student is nothing more than a quiz among the piles of papers that have been written there.

It seems that everything is back on track, and there is no more presumptuousness in the past.

The hot weather is coming, and the air conditioner is still humming. All the students in Class A finally got a breathing space before the summer vacation.

Li Ye stared at the students of Class A under the podium with complicated eyes, and finally reduced the paper in his hand by half.

"The summer vacation will start tomorrow. Everyone, cheer up a little. After another year of hard work, you will be completely liberated. You won't be so tired when you go to college, but you will thank yourself for working so hard now." Li Ye Yu couldn't bear it. A few months ago, the teenagers and girls who were vigorous and vigorous in adolescence were now overwhelmed by the words "facing the college entrance examination". Each of you should be issued 15 papers, but the teacher can see that everyone has been really tired since entering the third year of high school, so I personally reduced the test papers to 5 for you..."

All the students who were paralyzed on the table under the podium immediately sat up straight, and their eyes gradually lit up.

Not only Li Ye, but all the substitute teachers including Lao Yang reduced the number of papers and handed them out to all the students one by one.

Even so, the papers piled up on the table looked infiltrating enough.Gu Yuan's mind was not on these things, he secretly poked Xu Yue next to him with a pen.

"Xu Yue, you can move to my place during the summer vacation. Anyway, the school will definitely not let you stay in the dormitory for the whole summer vacation." The thick stack of test papers on the table opposite Gu Yuan was surprisingly calm, and his chin was pressed He smiled sideways on the table, "All right, all right!"

"Well, okay." Xu Yue agreed casually, "Anyway, this summer vacation lasts for less than a month, and I have to come back early to make up lessons."

Gu Yuan softly "hmm", sat up straight and stretched his arms, muttering lazily.

"Yeah, it's the third year of high school... Zhou Hui often talks about how the third year of high school will go by very quickly, and the next college entrance examination will be in the blink of an eye... Oh, by the way, have you read all the books in the first year of high school?"

"Soon, there are only a few chapters left." Xu Yue folded the brand-new test papers on the desk and stuffed them into the desk pocket, before hesitating and throwing them all back into the schoolbag. "Is it our turn to be on duty today?"

Gu Yuan raised his head and pursed his lips, his eyes shifted to the front row.

"Well, it seems to be. You see, the girls in the front row are already holding rags in their hands." Gu Yuan moved the stool and stretched, took two brooms from behind the door, and wiped one of them. Throw it into Xu Yue's hands. "Sweep it casually, it looks pretty clean."

"Ah."

After the school bell rang, the summer vacation of the attached high school officially arrived. Several boys moved the books in their desk pockets to Li Ye's office, and finally rushed down the stairs with their chubby schoolbags under their feet like the wind.

After cleaning the inside and outside of the classroom, Xu Yuecai waved to Li Ranran and Zhou Hui who had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

"You two came in, Li Ye just left." Gu Yuan held two brooms in his hand, and sent them back to where he got them, "Oh no, I said you two really gave it to yourself It’s summer vacation?? Just carry a schoolbag? So many books?”

"I took some time to move back to the dormitory in the afternoon... How do you get so many books on the table? How about helping you move back to the dormitory too?" Zhou Hui took out his phone and looked at it. "If you go back to the dormitory, hurry up, otherwise After a while, the hostess aunt will also be on vacation."

Xu Yue rolled his eyes, and finally decided to go back to the dormitory. Firstly, he had to move all the textbooks back, and secondly, he had to take away the bracelet his mother left him.The box seemed to be older, and it was covered with dust again. Xu Yue opened the box and stuffed the translucent white bracelet into his pocket.

Finally moving it around, Xu Yue was afraid of falling, so she simply stuffed it into Gu Yuan's hand.

Forgot to take it back.

The four swaggered out of the school gate and settled for dinner on the snack street next to the attached high school. In the end, Li Ranran and Zhou Hui disappeared at the end of the long street, one on the left and one on the right.

After paying the money, Gu Yuan sat down again, looked at Xu Yue who was wearing earphones in front of the dinner table, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, I'm still in a daze. I guess I took the bus in those two meetings."

Gu Yuan took off the Bluetooth headset in Xu Yue's left ear and stuffed it into his own.

"This song..." Gu Yuan listened to a few words carefully, and the familiar lyrics and melody made him blink a few times, "Isn't this song in my playlist?"

"Well, I quite like this. Last time I glanced at your phone screen, I remembered the name." Xu Yue raised the volume by two levels, turned his head and muttered to himself.

"Gu Yuan, in fact, my love for you is no different from that of a butterfly falling in love with a spider."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that I will run to you regardless of my own safety."
