Shadow Stream Road

Since then, a ray of light has entered Qi Jingyu's originally gloomy world.

While actively cooperating with the treatment, Qi Jingyu collected information about Shen Yu.He asked his parents about Shen Yu's existence, bought out Shen Yu's photos in the post bar, and left traces of Shen Yu's outline on the white canvas.He even knew which district, which district, which building, which floor, which household Shen Yu's home was in, and he also knew that there was a piece of peeling paint on the corner of the third-to-last row of desks in the third-to-last row of the classroom near the toilet on the fifth floor of Shaw Building in the third grade of senior high school.

But he never disturbed Shen Yu's life from beginning to end.

Shen Yu is different from him, he is a desirable, sun-like existence.

And he could only secretly hide in a corner that no one knew about, and watch the laughter and laughter of Shen Yu and his friends.

When I saw Shen Yu again, it was he who went to Beicheng to participate in the national mathematics competition on behalf of the first year of high school.

Shen Yu, who had a high fever and was unable to participate, was also in the team.

Qi Jingyu sat in the corner of the last row with his hat on, his steady chest was beating wildly.He heard the whispers of Shen Yu and his companions, and the sound of slowly approaching footsteps.

The students in the lower grades were discussing in low voices about Shen Yu who suddenly appeared.It turned out that Shen Yu had originally given up the opportunity to participate in the competition, but when he heard that the competition venue was in Beicheng, he reported to the instructor regardless of his illness, and applied to go with him.I was still receiving drips at the hospital last night, and came directly to take the school bus this morning.

A pair of sneakers with a little dewdrops stopped in front of Qi Jingyu, and then he heard a familiar voice above his head.

A little husky, but with a smile.

The young man with a sick face waved at him weakly, "Student, we meet again."

He never expected to be remembered by the other party, and at the moment of being recognized, Qi Jingyu was still dazed for a second or two.He didn't respond, but glanced at it lightly, then lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the phone.

As if he didn't mind his indifference, Shen Yu discussed with the person next to him and changed seats.

Shen Yu was sitting next to him, no more than five centimeters away.Due to the inertia when turning a corner, the two of them would still have their clothes touching each other and their shoulders touching their shoulders. Every time they approached, Qi Jingyu could feel the abnormally scorching temperature from Shen Yu's body.

The back seat was bumpy, and the boy's face was not very good-looking.

As if aware of Qi Jingyu's unspoken concern, Shen Yu closed his eyes and said to himself: "I'm a little motion sick... I don't know how long it will take... I'm fine..."

Qi Jingyu finally couldn't help but said: "Go and sit in the front."

"Just sit here." The boy twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled forcedly, "I thought my junior didn't know me anymore, so it wouldn't make sense for me to come here from the hospital."

Qi Jingyu paused his hands, lost in thought, then took out something from his pocket, put it into the boy's palm, and said coldly, "Return you."

Shen Yu opened his eyes with difficulty, saw a crumpled milk ball candy lying in the palm of his hand, and burst out laughing.

The laughter reached Jingyu Qi's ears, and someone turned his head awkwardly, pretending to appreciate the scenery.

"Then thank you, junior."

The boy unpacked the candy and stuffed it into his mouth. The taste of melted milk filled his mouth, and his mood immediately improved.Shen Yu folded the remaining candy wrappers in his hands, changing patterns, his handwork was really bad, the messy thing must be a mouse, and he showed it to Jingyu Qi in a showy manner, saying that he would give it to him.

Qi Jingyu took the four-faced mouse, put it in his pocket without saying yes or bad, and said thank you softly.

"Student, what are you listening to?" Shen Yu couldn't relax his mouth. Not long after, he tilted his head and became interested in the earphones that Qi Jingyu had been plugging into his ears, "Can you listen to me?"

Seeing that Shen Yu was about to take the earphones, Qi Jingyu immediately swiped open the screen and pressed the pause button.

Shen Yu took it to listen, but there was no sound at all, and raised his head in doubt: "Are you listening to loneliness?"

Qi Jingyu straightened his lips, and said lightly: "It's too noisy, it's soundproof."

Due to the long distance, the students in the car were basically catching up on sleep, planning to participate in the competition with the best mental outlook, only Shen Yu was talking in a low voice.

Thinking that Jingyu Qi thought he was noisy and wanted to rest, Shen Yu shut up wisely.

With a fever and motion sickness, Shen Yu was not very energetic, and fell asleep with his head tilted after a while.

After Shen Yu fell asleep, Qi Jingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped the earphones in a circle, and hid the mobile phone in his bag.

If Shen Yu found out that he was listening to Shen Yu's voice that he secretly recorded, it would be over.

Shen Yu didn't sleep well, his body shook with the car, and his head was hit several times.

Qi Jingyu touched Shen Yu tentatively, but did not wake up.

After adjusting his sitting posture, Qi Jingyu carefully supported Shen Yu as a pillow on his shoulder.

Xu Shi thought that Jingyu Qi was too thin and his bones were in a panic. Within a few minutes, Shen Yu groaned in dissatisfaction.

The moment before Shen Yu woke up, Qi Jingyu retracted his shoulders, put his hands on his shoulders, and let Shen Yu's face rest on his palms, Shen Yu rubbed against him, feeling a little more comfortable, and then fell asleep satisfied.

The two of them maintained the same posture and persisted until they reached Beicheng.

After arriving at the destination and waking up, the energetic Shen Yu looked much better.

And Qi Jingyu's eyes were blue, his limbs were stiff, and he looked like he hadn't rested well.But because he usually looked so lifeless, the students in the same grade didn't say much, and got out of the car with their good things.

This time the time was relatively short, after getting off the car, before Shen Yu even had time to have a proper chat with Qi Jingyu, the two were taken away by their respective team leaders.

In the next few days, Shen Yu never came to look for Qi Jingyu, and he was never seen even for dinner.

Hearing the gossip of the students, Qi Jingyu knew that Shen Yu had left the team secretly, and the teachers were busy looking for him.

Qi Jingyu was also a little worried, but he vaguely knew where Shen Yu had gone.

It wasn't until the last day, during the official competition, that Qi Jingyu saw Shen Yu running towards him out of breath.

Shen Yu rested his hands on his thighs, gasping for breath: "Wait a minute...after the exam...don't go...I...I'll take you to a place..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yu was dragged away by the teacher leading the third year of high school who came behind, and the water in Qi Jingyu's hand had not had time to be sent out.

Shen Yu shouted as he walked, "Don't forget!"

He didn't tell him where to wait or where he was going, but Qi Jingyu was extremely looking forward to it, and even couldn't wait to hand in the paper in advance.

After Qi Jingyu handed in the test paper, he stood guard at the door. When the crowd dispersed, he saw Shen Yu who came out last.

Shen Yu lowered his head and drooped the corners of his mouth. He didn't seem to do well in the exam, but when he looked up and saw Qi Jingyu who had arrived as promised, he couldn't help laughing again.

When Qi Jingyu saw him smiling, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up a little.

Fortunately, he handed in the paper early.

After the game, they didn’t set off for the flight back immediately. The teacher who led the team gave the students a half-day rest time for the hard-working exams. Everyone can walk around and buy some special products to go back.

But remember one thing, you can't go far.

Shen Yu had a precedent and was given a foot restraint order. The teacher who led the team warned him that if he dared to run out without permission, the school would punish him.

Qi Jingyu looked at Shen Yu, who was obedient and answered yes, thinking that the trip would be cancelled, but as soon as he returned to the hotel, Shen Yu secretly came to him without telling the teacher, then dragged him and ran directly, went out, and got into a car. A tour bus to the outskirts of Beicheng.

The two came to the Butterfly Valley in the suburbs.

Shen Yu came here in advance, and even borrowed a camera for the convenience of recording.

Accompanied by a refreshing fragrance, Qi Jingyu saw butterflies dancing in the wind all over the sky, as big as maple leaves and as small as snowflakes, with different colors, some with a single tone, and some with mottled patterns.

Was there someone he was looking for in there?

Qi Jingyu stretched out his hand tentatively, and a moment later, a butterfly with bright colors and intricate patterns landed on his fingertips.

Seeing that it wasn't the one he wanted, Qi Jingyu was a little disappointed, but he was afraid of disturbing it, so he kept raising his hand, reluctant to take it back.

With a click, he heard the sound of the camera flash.

Then came Shen Yu's cheerful voice: "Student brother! It seems that my grandma likes you very much!"

Qi Jingyu remembered that Shen Yu once said that his grandma liked bright colors.

So he took care of the butterfly on his fingertips more carefully, for fear that it would fly away inadvertently.

Not long after, a black-and-white butterfly fell on Shen Yu's shoulder. When he found it, Shen Yu said happily, "Look, junior! It's the one from last time!"

Butterfly stuck to Shen Yu's body and didn't leave even when he ran.

Qi Jingyu's breath was stagnant, and he said in a low voice, "My grandma likes you very much too..."

Butterfly Valley is a two-hour drive from the hotel they stayed in. The two didn't dare to stay long, and took the last return bus back to the city.

Before that, Qi Jingyu got another gift from Shen Yu.

Shen Yu asked someone to take a group photo of them, and promised to wash it up and give it to him when they meet next time.

When taking pictures, Qi Jingyu was a little restrained, he didn't know where to put his hands, and he was a little flustered when facing the camera, and his palms were even sweaty.

Shen Yu grabbed Qi Jingyu's shoulders and looked at the camera with a smile, "Student, it will get better and better in the future."

Qi Jingyu only hummed lightly.

After returning to school, news of Shen Yu leaving the team privately twice reached the dean's ears.

Although Shen Yu, who was a good seed, couldn't really be punished, he had to be punished.

So Shen Yu was fined to run laps.

In the scorching sun at noon, Shen Yu was sweating profusely while running, but with a smile on his face, he even enthusiastically greeted the students watching the excitement.

Everyone said that Shen Yu had a fever and was confused.

The competition test was a mess, and he lost the place to submit, but he was still laughing.

Only Qi Jingyu hid in the corner, silently watching Shen Yu running, with a rare relaxed expression on his face.

He waited for the next chance encounter.

However, since then, Qi Jingyu has never heard from Shen Yu again.

Shen Yu disappeared from school all of a sudden.

Qi Jingyu had also been near Shen Yu's house, but did not see him.Ask people about Shen Yu, but none of their classmates know about him.

The 17-year-old boy disappeared before Qi Jingyu's eyes.

He didn't even have time to tell Shen Yu his name.

The author says:

--small theater--

A few years later, during a routine hospital checkup.

Shen Yu was a little depressed looking at the height on the medical examination form: Qi Jingyu, I remember when you were in high school, you seemed shorter than me?What did you eat afterwards?How did you grow so tall?

Qi Jingyu thought for a while: ...Probably because I like to eat fish.
