Restlessness

The summer vacation of the second year of high school was cut off by one-third, and finally half of it was cut off under Xu Yue's strong request. The remaining time was nothing but silence between the two of them.

Occasionally, Gu Yuan would hold his mobile phone and come up to Xu Yue to laugh a few times. They still looked as close as ever.

During the ten-day cram school, Xu Yue never missed a single session. He just quietly held a pen and sat in the back row by the window. When he looked up, he would always see people coming from the street next door. People go by, traffic keeps flowing, and it becomes very quiet after noon, only the crying of a few children and the chirping of cicadas that have been chattering throughout the summer.

The teachers in the training class will not be as strict as Li Ye, even if the phone is on the table, no one will come to remind you to "take it back".Xu Yue's attention was never on the whiteboard in the classroom, he would glance at the blacked out phone screen from time to time, as if waiting for something.

Gu Yuan did not break his promise. Every afternoon at five o'clock, he would always appear downstairs in the training class on time. Sometimes he would stand quietly under the shade of a tree with a Bluetooth headset in his ear, and sometimes he would I lower my head and take a few puffs of cigarettes, but I always throw them away immediately like an electric shock, and then rush into the convenience store on the opposite side of the road to buy several boxes of mints that can suppress the tobacco flavor.Gu Yuan didn't smile until Xu Yue appeared in front of him with a bag on his back.

They would still pass by that convenience store, and would buy a couple of bottles of ice water, and Xu Yue would cook a few bowls of porridge at Gu Yuan's request.

They would get together and nestle on the sofa to watch various movies, and they would deliberately turn off the overhead light to choose a horror movie with good reviews, but the floor lamp next to the sofa was moved to Xu Yue's side.

The night before returning to school, Li Ranran and Zhou Hui came to find Gu Yuan, and the four of them went to the previous barbecue restaurant. The table was full of various skewers and empty beer bottles.Xu Yue didn't stop Gu Yuan anymore, he opened several bottles and put them in front of him. At first, he just poured them into a disposable cup and tasted a few sips while chatting and laughing with them. Later, he held a whole bottle in his arms. Pour it down with a big mouth.

Li Ranran even struggled to stand up, he closed one eye and stretched out his hand to grab Xu Yue's arm, talking nonsense.

"Today is the last day of our sophomores. Come, drink!" Li Ranran hiccupped and downed several mouthfuls, "People say, high school, high school goes by very quickly. My mother Tell me, the third year of high school is... like lying on the bed and sleeping, closing your eyes, and when you open them again, it's over..."

The sentences were incoherent, from east to west, but there was an inexplicable depression floating among the four people.

"Yuan, Brother Yuan... I said you and Xu Yue, you really are." Li Ranran was completely drunk, and even his temples were slightly red, "You two are together, oh... what I mean is You two fall in love...why...why don't you tell us, me and Zhou Hui, I...we definitely won't...will not laugh at you, because, because you two are...my brothers. "

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and the sad look on his face just now disappeared instantly. He turned his head and put his elbow on Li Ranran's shoulder.

"You...you still expect me to tell you?? I'm afraid the whole school will know that Brother Yuan is gay the next day?" Gu Yuan swallowed his beer, and his vision towards Li Ranran was a little blurred. "Heh... Gay."

These three words deeply hurt Gu Yuan's heart.

Xu Yue still didn't speak, sitting next to Gu Yuan, pouring down beer non-stop.The stomach hurt so much that I ran to the roadside toilet to induce vomiting, and when I came back, I picked up the wine bottle and gulped down.

Although she had already downed five or six bottles of beer, Xu Yue was more sober than ever.The cool night breeze blows the bangs on Gu Yuan's forehead, and with just a few caresses, one can know the loneliness under his tightly furrowed brows.

When Li Ranran and Zhou Hui were completely motionless on the table, Xu Yue casually threw the bottle in his hand to his feet.

"Is it uncomfortable?" Gu Yuan's eyes were very red, and he would squat down and rush to a place where no one was there to retch a few times, and finally even stood up with his arms supporting the stool. "Xu, Xu Yue, stop drinking, your stomach is bad. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Gu Yuan asked again, his eyes became redder, as if something more embarrassing would come out of them in the next second.

"I'm uncomfortable, Xu Yue, I'm uncomfortable."

Gu Yuan's voice was very hoarse, and under the heavy smell of alcohol, he still couldn't hide his lingering thoughts.In the end, what Gu Yuan muttered, Xu Yue didn't catch a word.It wasn't until Gu Yuan sat down and fell asleep leaning against his shoulder that Xu Yue suddenly raised his arms and rubbed his face.

"Hey, you little bastards, I haven't stared at you for a few minutes, why did you drink so much?" The proprietress walked over holding the menu in her busy schedule, and after scanning around, she moved a stool from another table. , glanced at Xu Yue, "You... are you about to graduate from high school?"

Xu Yue thought to himself, there is no difference between their current appearance and their upcoming parting, so he naturally didn't bother to resist.

"Soon." Xu Yue pinched the tip of her nose, "It's already a third year in high school."

"It's the third year of high school..." The proprietress gave him a meaningful look, then turned her head and took out the empty wine bottle that was under Li Ranran's arm, and then carefully put his arm back. Feeling a little distressed, "To tell you the truth, when I first met these children, they should have just entered high school. At that time, they always liked to find a corner with few people, noisy and noisy... In the blink of an eye, they have grown and grown." It’s high, and the number of visits is less than before, I reckon, when you start school, you won’t have much time to come to my mess again.”

Barbecue stalls are generally only open in the alleys, and although there are people coming and going, and students from the attached high school often come here, many of them are new faces that you only see once in this life, and there are very few bosses. I can remember them so clearly as teenagers in high school uniforms.

But the proprietress still paid attention to it for two full years.

"No." Xu Yue said, "We will find time to come over on weekends, the one next to you likes to eat the baked gluten in your shop..."

"Son, in a few days, auntie is going to sublet this shop to someone else." The proprietress was silent for a while, she smiled at Xu Yue and pointed to Gu Yuan who was leaning on his shoulder, "That kid used to When I came here, it wasn’t like this. I rarely saw him smile. At that time, I thought he should be the most mature and sensible one... But since you came, he has been different, and he has gradually become a little bit your age Duan should have something... Although Auntie is many years older than you, she can still understand, this kid must like you, right?"

Xu Yue was about to call for a taxi, but was completely stunned at this moment.His chin lightly rubbed against Gu Yuan's forehead, the familiar warmth still fascinated him.

Just like the first time we were together.

"Is...obvious?" Xu Yue asked.

"Isn't that obvious? I'm such a rough person, I can tell at a glance without going to school for a few days." The proprietress wiped the corners of her mouth, turned her head to answer a few calls from other customers, and finally stood up slowly , because of the beer on her hand, she just nudged Xu Yue lightly with her elbow, "This relationship is too hard now, you should treat it well. Don't care what others say or do, what they think That's all a fart. Well, Auntie is going to be busy in the past, so I won't talk to you about what's there and what's not. "

Xu Yue nodded slightly, expressing that he remembered her sincere suggestion.For a moment, Xu Yue felt that the proprietress of this store was very much like his own mother.

Gu Yuan fell into a deep sleep, took a heavy breath from time to time, and then spit it out in the form of a few words in sleep.

Xu Yue tilted his head and ears close to Gu Yuan's lips, and only vaguely repeated those few familiar words.

"Don't go..."

"Leave……"

"Don't touch Xu Yue..."

"Please..."

It was obviously like a love story, but Xu Yue couldn't help but turn red.He stretched out his hand and rubbed the other side of Gu Yuan's face non-stop, repeatedly.

"I'm not going anywhere, really."

Xu Yue really wanted to find a formal opportunity to tell Gu Yuan that he wasn't going anywhere, he had no home, no relatives, the only person in this world who could touch his emotions...

Only Gu Yuan was left.

But the drunk Gu Yuan still didn't wake up that night, even though Xu Yue held his head and forcibly poured several cups of honey water, he was still sleepy.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already 10:[-] noon the next day. The bright and empty large room was quiet and desolate, only the yellow post-it note on the cabinet near him seemed to add some light to the light gray. Different colors.

It's obviously a person, but it doesn't look like a person.

——Let's go to the classroom first, and come to school after you pack up.I will explain the situation to Li Ye.Breakfast is on the table.

The handwriting was clear, and there was a grimace drawn at the end. Gu Yuan moved closer. Judging from the marks on the paper, this line of words and the last expression belonged to two different refills.

Apart from Li Ranran or Zhou Hui, Gu Yuan couldn't think of anyone else who could be so childish.

Anyway, Xu Yue wouldn't.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Gu Yuan decisively changed his clothes and rushed into the bathroom. After a simple wash, he broke through the door without even looking at the breakfast on the table.

The campus of the attached high school is still deserted, and the entire teaching area of ​​senior one and senior two is locked.Gu Yuan raised his feet and moved forward step by step, all the things around him seemed to be telling him.

Go forward, you can't turn back.

When Gu Yuan arrived in the classroom, Xu Yue had already finished writing the third paper. He stuffed his schoolbag into his desk pocket, couldn't help but cleared his throat and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you call when you went out in the morning? Me? Damn, you guys are still human!"

"Called." Xu Yue still kept the pen in his hand, "But you didn't wake up. Li Ranran and the others said that you drank almost 10 bottles of beer last night. It doesn't look like you can drink well."

The atmosphere between the two seems to have finally eased up a lot. Although it is not as fragmented as during the holidays, it is more or less like returning to normal high school life.

Gao Li never looked for Gu Yuan since that day, as if everything was back on track.

It was rare for Xu Yue to be in a good mood today. After the last class at noon, he gathered five people and went to Fanxing to order a lot of snacks.

Zhao Chen was invited by Xu Yue. Although it was a bit surprising, Zhou Hui did not resist as before.He vaguely remembered that Li Ranran whispered several words in his ear last night, some of which were about Zhao Chen.Some complained about him, and some lamented that Gu Yuan was a disaster.

Cold, standing there motionless for no reason, he just provoked the two big boys.

But Zhou Hui understood that to Xu Yue, Gu Yuan was the sweetness of the salty.

"Why did you call him?" Although Gu Yuan has already dealt with the relationship between the characters, he still has lingering fears when he hears the word Zhao Chen. He is afraid that Xu Yue will be affected by these unwarranted influences. "The four of us are enough." Eat you up."

"It's okay, I have money now." Xu Yue twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and clicked on a certain bank's app on his mobile phone under everyone's surprised eyes, "Look, 15."

How the 15 came from, everyone present knew better than anyone else. Seeing that the atmosphere that had been mobilized with great difficulty had a downward trend, Xu Yue couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing.

"Can you guys stop being so sad all day long, the pile of test papers written in the morning is enough to make you dizzy." Xu Yue subconsciously squeezed the tip of her index finger, and finally, when the students in Class A had almost slipped away, He raised his arms and pushed the people in front of him out of the door. "As for me, I'm not as rich as handsome guy Gu's family, so I only have this chance. I can order whatever I want for lunch today, and I'll invite it."

Li Ranran threw himself on Xu Yue's back in an instant, chanting a lot of names of snacks that he had been thinking about.

"You don't know what I went through this holiday! Let me tell you, I was forced by my mother to finish all the papers at home. Damn, I wrote on the table, and she sat beside me and stared at... ...It's really scary." Zhou Hui pressed Zhao Chen under his shoulders, "At that time, I wished that the school would start quickly... But this morning passed, and I suddenly wanted to go home...Your Class A may have I don’t know, that chemistry paper, my God... tsk tsk, it’s really not made by humans..."

"You can pull it off, as if you can write other things." Zhao Chen slapped Zhou Hui on the forehead.

Gu Yuan: "..."

Xu Yue: "...Actually, I don't think what Zhao Chen said is unreasonable."

The structure of the entire senior three teaching area is exactly the same as that of senior one and senior two. They all belong to the circular building, and the number of floors is the same. The only difference is that the school has completely divided the stairway into two in order to save a lot of time for these students who are about to take the college entrance examination. , besides the one that Gu Yuan and the others were familiar with before, there is also one on the side near the playground.

The staircase divided into two is no longer able to accommodate four or five people side by side as before, so Gu Yuan had no choice but to walk behind the line with Xu Yue.

Gu Yuan took a deep breath, but when he looked up, he saw a small square of sky.

"Xu Yue, which university do you want to take next year?"

The four of them went out relatively late, and there were not many people in the entire teaching area. Gu Yuan suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Yue's wrist, and asked in a low voice.

which university?

Xu Yue's shoulders trembled slightly.

He really hadn't thought about which university he would go to in the future, his plan seemed to have been completely filled by Gu Yuan, and there was no time for Gu Yuan to do anything else.

"I haven't made up my mind yet." Xu Yue withdrew his wrist and clasped his fingers back together, "But... I should go to the same university as you."

Gu Yuan couldn't help laughing, and held Xu Yue's hand a little tighter.
