?It was time to get off work. Zhou Yanghe took his bag and said goodbye to his colleagues in a leisurely manner, planning to walk home slowly.

Songcheng in winter is extremely cold, and she just stuffed her hands into her pockets when she felt a strong vibration from her phone.It was a message from Qin Yitong.

[Did you know Yu Damei is back? 】

Zhou Yanghe was stunned for a moment, then held her face in her hands and let out a long sigh. The breath filled her glasses, making the lights of the city in front of her dim.

"Yu, Xi..." Zhou Yanghe took off his glasses and read out these two words.

It's been a long time since I said her name, but it's not unfamiliar at all, as if that person has been by my side during the seven or eight years of separation.But eight years is enough for a city to change many places.

For example, the street opposite Wanhu Community has been demolished long ago, and the small supermarket named "Wan'an" has long since disappeared in the dusty time.

Zhou Yanghe took out the small mirror in his bag and took a look at his current face. His hair has grown, he knows how to put on makeup, and he smiles even when there is no one around.Exactly the same as that person.

Probably because she felt that her behavior was really strange on the street, she breathed into the mirror, covered it vigorously and threw it into the bag, and strode home.

It's good that Yu Xi is back.It doesn't matter, she thought, they'll always meet.

She was submerged in the bustling crowd, and the distance between people was getting closer because of the crowding. Zhou Yanghe walked desperately in the crowd, and began to regret her decision to walk because of the proximity of her family.

"Finally home!" Zhou Yanghe breathed a sigh of relief downstairs in the unit, and condemned the crowds in the evening peak dozens of times in their hearts, and then heard the sound of someone hurrying downstairs, and before they had time to raise their heads, they heard a sound A piercing scream—"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm telling you..."

Well, the little witch is here today.

"I said Qin Yitong, you old witch, why are you yelling..." She raised her head, all the words were stuck in her throat, and her face was full of shock.

In the past, Zhou Yanghe felt that one day the object of her longing and longing would appear in front of her, and she would be moved to tears, but now she felt that her whole body was frozen, and all her thoughts became silent, and she was in the hallway. It looked pale under the bright light.

Qin Yitong who was standing on the side felt that Zhou Yanghe looked like a person who choked on eating white flour steamed buns.She was about to give Zhou Yanghe a "love comfort" when she was interrupted by Yu Xi's movements.

She could only chuckle, put down her arms, and looked at the pair of women embracing each other in front of her. It was not so much a hug as Zhou Yanghe being hugged. Her long hair fell on Yu Xi. Against the backdrop of Yu Xi's white down jacket, Yu Xi's shoulders were particularly eye-catching, but Yu Xi had neat short hair, his smile remained unchanged, and he even rubbed Zhou Yanghe's head.

A moment of silence.

Qin Yitong suddenly felt that the two of them seemed to have become each other, and became a completely different self according to each other's appearance. It seemed that time had opened a big crack, and they were all involved. When they returned to that place, no one could go back. high school days.

"Long time no see, Ahe."

Only then did Zhou Yanghe come to his senses, took a step back, smiled, and replied, "Long time no see."

"Go upstairs."

She walked ahead alone.

It's like the feelings that she borne alone in those distant times, it will take many years to go away.

"Please explain to me why you reported 3000 meters to me without telling me."

Zhou Yanghe felt that she was about to explode. When she suddenly received the sports meeting number plate at the class meeting today, she felt baffled. She even asked Qin Yitong, who was at the same table, but the other party also looked confused, and then excitedly held her face and said yes. Showing her his face, Zhou Yanghe had no choice but to ask Jiang Bo, the sports committee member, and found him in the corridor.

"Ah? Didn't you ask Liu Zhuqing to report to you?" The other party was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said to Zhou Yanghe in embarrassment.

"Liu Zhuqing?" Zhou Yanghe got angry immediately, but he still thanked Jiang Bo, and was going back to the classroom to ask Liu Zhuqing.

As a result, she bumped into a person just as she turned around, and before she could say sorry, she heard a "bang-dang" sound. Looking down, the flower pot had been torn apart, and the green plants and the soil scattered all over the ground were particularly eye-catching on the milky white tiles.

Zhou Yanghe immediately apologized, raised his head and said: "I will pay you a pot..." He stopped abruptly when he saw the face of the other party.

As soon as she saw Yu Xi, she would stiffen, as if it was a habit, like when she saw a light at first, she would reach out to block it.She didn't know how to talk to her, just like when Yu Xi was paying the bill in front of the cash register and laughed at Yan Yan, she hurriedly took out the change and handed it to her, and even replied "thank you for your patronage" and stammered, so she could only watch it off She walked away briskly.

"You don't have to pay, I'll just buy another pot." Yu Xi looked at Zhou Yanghe with a smile. She didn't understand why the girl in front of her was suddenly silent. Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, she patted him on the shoulder. .

Zhou Yanghe squeezed a stiff smile at Yu Xi, "No, I must compensate you," she clenched her fists, "How much, I will give it to you later."

Yu Xi thought for a while, "How about this, since tomorrow is the holiday anyway, you can go buy a pot with me after the last class." She is used to smiling when she talks, the kind that even squints her eyes The crescent smile made people feel happy even after seeing it.Zhou Yanghe looked at the opening and closing of her lips when she was talking, looked at her eyes, and watched her sweater become yellowish with the sun approaching dusk. The furry outline looked particularly warm, so he couldn't help but say hello.

The class bell rang suddenly, and the corridor suddenly became empty. The head teacher's footsteps sounded, Zhou Yanghe said to Yu Xi: "You go to class first, I will clean up."

She didn't even look at Yu Xi's reaction, she told the class teacher about the situation, and went to the classroom to get a broom to clean it.Zhou Yanghe walked into the classroom without looking sideways, walked to the end, took the broom and walked out, ignoring Qin Yitong's mouth shape, and swept the floor meticulously.

She looked at her own shadow and couldn't help thinking: Why did I suddenly talk to Yu Xi at school, she looks so pretty when she smiles.But after class, I will go to buy asparagus together with her, and we will go the same way home, so she must know that my house is opposite her community, ah, I feel a little ashamed.

As for the 3000 meters, Zhou Yanghe thought it was better to ask Liu Zhuqing tomorrow.

When the holiday is coming, everyone can't wait to leave. The class is only halfway through, and almost half of the class can be seen packing up and preparing to go home.Zhou Yanghe absent-mindedly listened to the teacher at the podium reading the ancient Chinese translation boringly, while turning his pen and staring at the textbook in a daze.

Zhou Yanghe felt that the classroom was terribly quiet now, she could even hear the sound of the second hand moving, which amplified infinitely in her mind, waiting for the moment when get out of class was over.

Qin Yitong poked Zhou Yanghe's arm with a book strangely.

"Hey, Zhou Yanghe, why haven't you packed your things? Listen to P in classical Chinese, even if you have homework and translation, you can copy the book." Seeing Zhou Yanghe was obviously startled, she felt that she must have made a mistake in judgment. Well, it's super troublesome for a well-behaved student to cover his face and not see the expression of his deskmate, she complained in her heart.

10 minutes before the end of class, Zhou Yanghe began to pack her things with a blank expression. She first folded the English quiz for this week, which must be folded in half very accurately, and put it in the English book, and then put the Chinese and math books. Stacked on top of each other one by one, then put the schoolbag hanging behind the stool on the lap, put the textbooks in meticulously, and sat still in the posture of listening to the class.

Her actions looked extremely mechanical, and Qin Yitong was dumbfounded.

The homeroom teacher who was standing on the podium turned a blind eye when he saw this situation. These kids had been studying for half a month and had to wait until the last day.She continued to read her text with a loud voice: "Fu Wei Sheng Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety..."

Songcheng No. [-] Middle School always likes to take consecutive classes when the long vacation is approaching, ranging from nine days to half a month, as if the three days of vacation are eager to earn back by doubling the number of classes, and every time the consecutive classes are almost lifeless for almost the entire year, Only on the last day did the excitement of so many days come together.

One minute before class ends, the boy sitting at the end has already opened the back door, the sound of metal hitting the wall suddenly ignites the silent classroom, someone has already sneaked away in the back row, the head teacher just called out the boy's last name She was interrupted by the class bell, she could only swallow her momentum, turned around and walked out of the classroom with the textbook in hand, the sound of high heels stepping on the ground was also drowned in the noisy voices.

Zhou Yanghe stood up quickly as soon as the get out of class bell rang, the chair made a sharp sound on the floor, she patted the shoulder of her deskmate Qin Yitong, spit out two words quickly, and walked out quickly.

Qin Yitong, who was still checking the number of books, saw the back of Zhou Yanghe striding forward with short black hair, "Oh, what kind of goddess did you say 'leave'? I'm in such a hurry today, there must be an appointment..."

Liu Zhuqing, who was about to leave, turned her head when she heard Qin Yitong say this, "What do you think Zhou Yang and the last class were cleaning outside, she feels weirder than usual haha."

Qin Yitong gave her a blank look, "I will be angry if you say that to Lao Zhou." After speaking, he turned and left without looking at Liu Zhuqing.

Liu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at Qin Yitong's back, took out a small mirror from the drawer and looked at it for a while before putting it down, and then put on her schoolbag and left.

Compared with Zhou Yang and Lao Yang, the head teacher of the class, the old man Yan of the third class is completely worthy of his surname, even if he has to take a long vacation, he can procrastinate as long as he can.

Zhou Yanghe could only wait for her at the gate of Yuxi's class. The window glass of the classroom is transparent. In order to prevent students from playing with their mobile phones in class, it is also convenient for the elders to inspect. There are also regular cleaning staff. It is extremely clean.Every time Zhou Yanghe saw a teacher passing by during class, he felt that the glass box was too painful for the students.

But now is also good, you can look at the people inside openly.

She walked back and forth several times in the corridor of the third class classroom. The old man Yan inside was still demonstrating the big math problems on the blackboard with great interest, while the students in the audience were doing their own things. Only a few were memorizing notes.They haven't reached the third year of high school yet, so these liberal arts students are not in a hurry at all, as if the third year of high school is a matter of the next century.

Yu Xi is the one who takes notes seriously.

Her long hair covered her face, she was wearing an ordinary woolen coat, she was sitting upright, and she was simply distinguished from the others.

Zhou Yanghe suddenly thought of Yu Xi in her memory.

Yu Xi, who has been so big since she was a child, has the same long hair, and she doesn't see her tie it up in the hottest summer, and occasionally goes downstairs to buy drinks, and she still wears it.She envied her long hair, envied the decent clothes she wore in all seasons, and envied her excellence which was far different from her peers.

If only I could do this one day, Zhou Yanghe thought.

But she has never grown her hair, and it will always become strange and obstructive, such as being caught by a wire when helping her father move goods, and being a model for a barber shop, she will be repaired inexplicably, watching TV when she was a child I was too involved and the ponytail was cut off by my brother with a knife.

It seems that even God doesn't give her long hair with peace of mind.

Maybe it was because she stood at the door of the third class for a long time, and the people inside noticed him, and even the boy sitting by the window waved to her, causing a burst of laughter.

Zhou Yanghe felt very embarrassed, so she stood aside, the wall could block her.

"Oh, it's too troublesome for me to go to the old man, and I have to spend so long on such a stupid topic!" "Yeah, it's too fucking annoying, and I can play with other classes as much as possible!" A few boys scolded from the door of the third class He walked out grinningly, not caring about being heard by their old man Yan.Passing by Zhou Yang and beside him even gave a "Yo".

Zhou Yanghe felt even more uncomfortable.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, our class is procrastinating, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long—" Yu Xi also came out, and said a big sentence when he saw Zhou Yanghe.

"fine."

"Then let's go to Wannan South Road to buy asparagus bamboo." Yu Xi always used to speak with a smile, especially easy to gain favorability, "I bought my pot from that store."

She is five or six centimeters taller than Zhou Yanghe. Standing next to her, Zhou Yanghe can easily see the other party's fair neck. The weather is close to January. Zhou Yanghe has already put on a big scarf, and Yu Xi is wearing a fur coat Fleece shirt, the fur collar turned out is only a little whiter than her skin.

It was nearly five o'clock when they walked out of the school gate, and "Old Man Yan" dragged on for about four or ten minutes.Zhou Yanghe looked at his watch and felt that he still needed to ask Yu Xi.

"It's five o'clock, are you okay?"

Yu Xi: "It's okay, my home is in Wanhu Community, what about you? Will your family tell you when you go back late?"

Of course Zhou Yanghe knew where Yu Xi's house was, thinking that I even knew when you went to school.But she still had a calm look on her face, "It's okay."

Yu Xi was actually a little embarrassed, her impression of Zhou Yanghe was that she could occasionally meet in the corridor, or that Zhou Yanghe was the second in their class when doing exercises, and Yu Xi herself was the third in the third class. So turning around can basically be seen every day, and the name also knows the approximate syllables.

In many cases, the relationship between people is established on a roughly clear line, and it only needs an opportunity to go deeper, just like meeting a girl every day when you go to the bathroom, and you will know her class as time goes by. People who meet in places will also nod as a greeting, and maybe know her name from the conversations she has with others...

Yu Xi carefully looked at Zhou Yanghe who was standing next to her, and always felt that she had seen this girl not only at school, but also in other places. She thought about it carefully, short hair, always bowing her head... After a while, she tugged at her hair in distress.

There are too few features, but I always feel familiar and can't remember.

Zhou Yanghe glanced at Yu Xi strangely, acting incomprehensibly.

"what happened?"

Yu Xi: "It's nothing..." After a while she asked Zhou Yanghe, "Do you know my name?"

Zhou Yanghe: "I know, your name is Yu Xi."

Yu Xi burst out laughing suddenly, Zhou Yanghe felt even more strange.

"No, it's nothing, I just think it's so funny that we both went out to buy asparagus and asked each other's name." When she smiled, her eyes narrowed into a crescent shape again, and she subconsciously bit her lips, and then Covering his mouth and laughing, his shoulders moved.

Zhou Yanghe sighed, feeling that he really overestimated Yu Xi's character, but he didn't expect his smile to be so low.As soon as she lifted the shoulder strap of the schoolbag, the schoolbag came up. It turned out that Yu Xi didn't forget to lift her hand when she smiled.

Zhou Yanghe: "..."

So sweet.

"Then you are called Zhou, Zhou Yang..."

"Zhou Yanghe," Zhou Yanghe stopped and looked at Yu Xi who wanted to imitate Yu Xi's smile, but what he squeezed out was a four-faced grinning grin, "Yang is Yang Guang's Yang, and He is kind and harmonious."

Seeing her expression, Yu Xi couldn't stop laughing.

Zhou Yanghe saw Yu Xixiao leaning forward and backward under the darkening sky, and his image was completely gone.The cars on the street passed by one by one, the lights of the cars were gradually turned on, and they were connected together, which was also very beautiful.

She never imagined that this was the first time she and Yu Xi walked side by side.

What a strange and delightful thing to do.
