Shen Yu'er turned the air conditioner to the highest level, brought a steaming kettle from the back kitchen, and poured a cup for Xu Tonglan.

"Ginger Coke just brewed, you just happened to be there."

As soon as Xu Tonglan took it, the sound of electric drills from the decoration outside the window suddenly roared. Shen Yu'er impatiently "tsk", put down the kettle and closed the window.

"I heard that your school is very strict, why did you sneak out so late?"

He leaned against the window sill and hugged his elbows, holding thin white cigarettes between his fingertips, and flipped on the lighter, a small orange flame flickered between the two of them.

Xu Tonglan glanced at his hand, "Smoking is prohibited indoors."

Shen Yu'er closed the lid with a "snap" when he heard the words, put the cigarette in his mouth, and said with a smile, "You're not happy?"

Xu Tonglan drank a couple of sips, and his frozen body warmed up, "Yeah."

Familiar music sounded, Shen Yuer glanced at Xu Tonglan's school uniform pocket, raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't your ringtone Shi'an Nageer?"

Xu Tonglan took out the phone and turned it off, throwing it on the table.

Shen Yu'er thought about it almost instantly, "Did you two quarrel?"

Xu Tonglan tapped the rim of the wine glass repeatedly, "Hmm..."

Shen Yuer took his mobile phone and turned it on, "Don't turn it off if you have conflicts, you are such a big person, don't let others worry."

Xu Tonglan didn't stop him, but Shen Yuer suddenly sat next to him and patted him on the shoulder, "I finally waited for him to come back, so why are you angry?"

I don't know which word stimulated Xu Tonglan, he rubbed the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes, "He asked me why I lost the cat, why I didn't care about him when he was sick."

"Then...why?" Shen Yuer brought him a hot water bottle.

Holding the hot water bottle, Xu Tonglan shook his head in disappointment, "I promised him that everything would be fine, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult. I couldn't even accept the inevitable distance between him and me after becoming a singer." , there is no way to control my attitude towards him."

He said so many promises to Lin Shi'an, and secretly vowed to be his best backing and confidence, but now he is at a loss.

"How could this be?" He looked at the steaming cup rim in bewilderment.

He was the one who confidently persuaded Lin Shi'an to become a singer, he was the one who wanted to build a platform for him to let the whole world see him, but he was also the one who was afraid that his boy would go further and further away.

Shen Yu'er looked at the troubled and confused young man, and sighed silently.

Life is not that simple, but young people in the ivory tower always think that they are omnipotent.

There is no need to bear the responsibility of life, nor have I experienced the hardships of impermanence.

Because of the incomparable self-confidence brought about by unworldly events, that's why I dare to boast and swear to each other.

But the fact is that the boyhood at the age of seventeen or eighteen is the most powerless in itself.

Without money and time, you can't escape the accusations of your elders, and you don't know how to control your emotions and be a good lover.

The fragile and vulnerable feelings that sprouted in youth, only have reckless vigor and sincerity, seem to be easily crushed by the pressure from all sides.

It is a pity to miss it after staying for many years.

So Shen Yuer asked him: "Then do you want to separate from Shi An?"

Xu Tonglan raised his head abruptly, as if he couldn't believe it, but also seemed to be lost in thought.

Shen Yu'er didn't disturb him, but just held his hand and watched him silent.

Until Xu Tonglan shook his head firmly after hesitating for a long time.

"Why?" Shen Yuer took a sip of Coke.

This question seemed difficult to answer. Xu Tonglan racked his brains and couldn't think of an answer, but it seemed to be easy to answer. He lightly rubbed the hot water bottle on his leg and looked at the yellowing lights on the ceiling.

"I like him."

So no matter how difficult it is, I still can't bear to let go.

"Then tell Shi'an everything you think about, don't carry it alone, it will be much better for two people to bear things that cannot be digested by one."

Shen Yuer said: "Trust me, as long as you like each other, no matter how hard it is, you can get through it."

He picked up the Coke and touched Xu Tonglan's cup, "It's just that for others, maybe a love greater than eight points can overcome the setbacks in love and finally get married. For people like us who like the same sex , and a little more difficult, it may take a lot of love to get to the end, for a difficult love like you and Shi An, it may take [-] points or a deeper and deeper love, so that it will not be separated by life."

"Young people, don't be afraid of difficulties." Shen Yuer lowered his head and waved his hands, "As long as the love between the two of you is deeper and firmer than the Kaner you met, nothing will separate you."

"Brother Shen?" Xu Tonglan looked at Shen Yuer whose eyes suddenly turned red.

"Little friend," he exhaled hot breath, his voice a little rough, "do you remember?"

Xu Tonglan keenly caught his somewhat sad mood, "Brother Shen, are you alright?"

"What can I do?" Brother Shen shook his head, stood up with the edge of the table, rubbed his eyes, and blocked the subtle emotions in his eyes just right.

The familiar cell phone rang again, Shen Yuer put on his coat, took out the car key from his trouser pocket, and said to Xu Tonglan, "Go back early, I'll see you off."

The latter picked up the phone under his gaze, lowered his eyelashes, and slowed down his voice.

"I'll be right back."

The snow finally stopped when Shen Yuer sent him back to the school gate.

Xu Tonglan thanked him, then ran back in a hurry, Shen Yuer restarted the car and disappeared into the snow.

He broke up with Cao Xin.

What happened is just the most clichéd thing to say, they get along day and night, even the most intimate things are no longer rejected, happy as if they can live through this life, but suddenly after Cao Xin's parents' unexpected visit end.

So he returned to City A without hesitation, and deleted all of Cao Xin's contact information.

During this period, Cao Xin approached him in various ways, repented that he shouldn't break up suddenly, and begged him to continue walking.

He said no.

Before they got together, they loved each other too deeply and too humblely. Shen Yuer never knew that she could be so tough when facing Cao Xin one day.

Almost everyone has their own red line that cannot be touched emotionally.

He can love a man who doesn't love him without hesitation, but he can't love another man who clearly loves him but chooses to give up on him under the pressure of his family.

It took him a month to get out and reopen the tavern.

Xu Tonglan was his first customer just after the renovation was completed.

He lowered the car window, put his arms on the window strings, lit a cigarette, but as if thinking of something, he directly smoked it.

I won't touch anything that is bad for my health anymore.

For example, smoking, drinking, or an unequal relationship.

Shen Yuer shook his head, looking enviously at the group photo of Xu Tonglan and Lin Shi'an that he had saved before, and flicked away the snowflakes that fell on the car window.

Next time, he thought.

He must also meet someone with whom he truly loves each other.

……

Along the huge school, Xu Tonglan ran all the way back to the dormitory, and the whole dormitory was darkened.

He walked through the dark corridors and stood at the door of the room, holding the handle while calming down his rapid breathing and heartbeat.

His breathing gradually calmed down, but his heartbeat became faster and faster, because his tense and cold hands were struggling to find the key in his pocket.

After finally finding the key, he was about to align the keyhole when he heard a "click", but the door opened from the inside.

He raised his head abruptly, under the faint desk light, Lin Shi'an who came to open the door was still holding the red and white bracelet in his hand and couldn't put it down in time.

Without any hesitation, he rushed forward and hugged his boy forcefully, as if he wanted to rub him into his own life.

Every heartbeat can be smashed into another person's ear through the thin chest wall. Lin Shi'an let Xu Tonglan hold him in his arms until his breathing was a little blocked, and then he struggled to raise his head, facing Xu Tonglan gaze.

The boy's eyes were still clean and pure, reflecting the raging and unrestrained love under the light.

This kind of silence lasted for a long time, until the legs became a little stiff, and the surging heartbeat and emotions slowly returned to the original place like the ebbing river.

"Don't lose your ass temper in the future, okay?"

Lin Shi'an held Xu Tonglan's hand, wrapped the red and white rope around his wrist again, rubbed his fingertips around the knot, and finally took his hand.

Xu Tonglan clasped his hand back, and hooked the red and black bracelet on his wrist, "Do you still remember that time when I opened the door for you, and then you said 'Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins'."

Outside the window are snow-covered roads and dead branches, and in memory is the midsummer dyed with gold.

The first snow in City A finally merged with the teenagers at the end of summer, and the wristbands that accompanied them in high school still had warmth on their wrists.

Lin Shi'an gently placed a kiss on his lips, resting his chin on Xu Tonglan's shoulder, and responded to his boy clearly:

"It's a marriage of thousands of miles linked by a thread."

☆, extra one

June [-]th was a cloudless and sunny day.

Police cars cleared the way, traffic lights flashed, private cars gave way, and buses covered with red banners came out of Jinshan Middle School in a neat and orderly line, merged into the busy traffic, and sent all candidates to the examination room.

The arrogant red banners fluttered in the wind, and the majestic eight-character slogan inspired every candidate.

Candidates in the car are either closing their eyes and resting their minds, or are still taking the time to revisit the composition hotspots.

Uncle Lu, who bought the cakes, put down the cakes in his hand, wiped the sweat from his brow, and watched the grand occasion outside.Some passers-by took pictures, some stopped, pointed to the words "Jinshan Middle School" on the car, and said something to their ignorant children, and some parents looked at it enthusiastically with pride and expectation. every bus.

The teacher in the car confirmed the documents over and over again, each test center put up a cordon and bright red banners, the environmental department cleared all the noise that might exist outside the test room one hour in advance, the public security department patrolled the whole test room to protect the safety of the test room, and the medical department was on standby at any time , the invigilation team read out the test instructions to all candidates, showed the sealed bag, and personally opened the seal.

The snow-white pages were distributed to everyone in an orderly manner, and each student tore off his own barcode and pasted it on a fresh and clean frontispiece.

……

These 48 hours are the highlight moments of nearly tens of millions of senior high school students across the country.

With the end of the last exam, Lin Shi'an walked out of the classroom following the invigilator's guidance with the exam admission ticket and a transparent stationery bag.

Looking up was the Albizia julibrissin in full bloom in the test center school, and Xu Tonglan waved to him at the end of the stairs.

On the back-to-school bus that fell into silence, Lin Shi'an looked out the window at the street scene that was already stained with the afterglow of the setting sun, and heard Xu Tonglan laughing in his ear suddenly.

"It feels subtle."

There was no excitement of relief as imagined, nor the joy of warm celebration. Everything was familiar like every mock exam, but no one was answering the answers or talking about the results.

Three years of high school career ended in a seemingly imposing exam, but the car was calm after countless exams.

Tomorrow, nearly half of Jinshan students will go to universities across the country to participate in various independent enrollment and assessments, and there is no time to celebrate or rest.

When the bus returned to school, many students who had taken the exam in our school had already started packing their things.The school issued repeated orders not to tear papers or throw objects from high altitudes. After returning to school, they immediately packed up their things to make room for the sophomores, and they were not allowed to stay.

The strange girl sat on the heavy bookcase and cried loudly, repeating over and over again: "I will never go to high school again, and I will never stay in Jinshan again!"

Lin Shi'an and Xu Tonglan looked at each other, and their eyes fell on the word Jinshan.

Three years ago, they came here bustlingly as the last freshman in high school, and left quietly three years later, passing by the second-year high school students who were about to enter their classrooms to replace them. their voices.

Just like every generation sent away by Jinshan, it goes round and round, endlessly.

But it's different for them.

They are no longer powerless teenagers, they are about to get tickets to society, to career, to a life they can control.

One after another, the vans full of book boxes drove out of the school. Those happy, painful, sweet, cold years and years, that youthful student era, came to an end.

☆, episode [-]

"It's bright," Lin Shi'an looked at Xu Tonglan proudly, and sat down on the sofa in the middle.

A ray of sunlight fell into the room with bright and clean windows, hitting the floor tiles obliquely.

The latter sat down next to him, put his arms around his shoulders and turned on the TV, "Now Uncle Lin and Aunt Fang don't have to be wronged in the small supermarket anymore."

"Yeah, I have a family." Lin Shian closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa, "Lele should be studying this year, and I'm thinking about when to take him over. I'm also waiting for Uncle Lin's kidney transplant at the hospital. The account has been registered, and now the house has been renovated, and Aunt Li will be back soon." He scratched Xu Tonglan's palm intermittently, "Life is getting better and better."

Xu Tonglan teased him, "Look at your loan amount before talking."

Lin Shi'an laughed and threw a pillow at him, staring at him from a distance, "Why don't you open which pot and which pot to carry."

Xu Tonglan stood up with the pillow in his arms, smashed it back unexpectedly, and took advantage of the opportunity to press the person directly on the sofa.

A video of Lin Shian's concert was playing on the TV, and the boy in a fine shiny black jacket sang the first song he wrote.

"More than just friends in the future".

Xu Tonglan pursed his lips, and gently approached his sweetheart.

Lingering kisses are intertwined in the sound of the music, and the young love is unscrupulously vented.

This is the third year since their college entrance examinations ended. Jinshan’s banners for outstanding students have long since been taken down. Parents no longer talk about the number one student in city A who wanted to apply for the biology exam. On the Internet, "Lin Shian was admitted to the top2" The news is out of date.

But they are still together.

The teenager on the TV held the microphone and introduced his lover nervously but sweetly.

"Thank you for your continued support and I would also like to introduce a friend of mine to you,"

On the screen behind them were two people shaking hands. Facing the flashing and dazzling spotlight, Lin Shian's hand holding the microphone was already covered with a thin layer of sweat.

In a tense mood, he listened to his firm and resolute voice in his ears.

"Maybe you will find it a bit sudden, but I don't want to hide it anymore."

"For me, he is the most radiant person in the world. Because of him, I am what I am today, and it is also he who accompanied me and supported me through my unknown youth."

"He's my best friend," Lin Shi'an swallowed, looked down the stage, took a deep breath, and finally said, "He's not just my friend either."

Under the uproar on the stage, Brother Hou had already stood up to end the concert. Lin Shi'an looked under the stage and bowed deeply, "I hope you can continue to like my songs."

He has valued money more than life for so many years, but he finally met someone more important than money, so much so that he was willing to take the risk and wanted him to appear by his side in a grandiose manner.

The screen suddenly went dark, leaving only vague breathing in the quiet living room.

Xu Tonglan brushed away Lin Shian's broken hair that was blocking his forehead, hugged him whole, and whispered in his ear:

"Thank you."

Lin Shi'an put his arms around his neck, afraid that he would fall, "You're welcome."

"No matter how many times I've watched it, you still won't get tired of it," Lin Shi'an teased him, "You have to be touched every time. It's been so long, and it's already gone."

With his back touching the soft bed, Xu Tonglan closed the curtains, lowered his head and touched Lin Shian's lips.

"Hey Xu Tong Lan,"

"Huh?" The latter looked up at him.

Lin Shi'an looked at him leisurely, "Then let me do something that will touch you even more." He held Xu Tonglan's hand and walked downstream, with a flash of smile in his eyes, "Use It's been so many years..."

He raised his head, "I won't compete with you anymore."

The boy took off his shirt and walked around Xu Tonglan's neck.

"You do it."
