After the smoke goes out

Time is like a torrential rain, falling into the world in a hurry, without a trace.

The high school entrance examination came in a blink of an eye, and I don’t know how many people have such a small wish.On the day of the exam, the entire county was covered with dark clouds, and a bolt of lightning struck, as if it wanted to tear the endless sky.Thunder roared, and the path outside the examination building was filled with water.

A few hours passed in a hurry, and the day after the exam, Wen Su's parents divorced.The classmates around him were all looking forward to the upcoming high school, and their faces were full of unconcealable joy. Standing on the street with people coming and going, Wen Su felt very ironic.

After the exam, the class held a meeting and talked about the remaining matters. Wen Su was so bored that he couldn't even listen to a word. He lay on the desk with his head in his arms and his eyes closed tightly. Talked to him with no response.

Yu Chen turned his head and frowned at him, feeling a little worried in his heart. He patted Wen Su on the shoulder and asked, "What happened, why don't you tell me?"

Wen Su said sullenly: "Don't touch me." Although he said that, he wished Yu Chen could talk to him a few more words, but he waited for a long time and didn't hear Yu Chen speak again. He turned his head slightly and glanced at Yu Chen.

Yu Chen was already packing up the rest of the things, and he put the things in the drawer into cardboard boxes in an orderly manner.

The teacher left after finishing his speech, and the people in the classroom gradually dispersed. Wen Su watched Yu Chen pack up his things, and suddenly his chest seemed to be opened, and the wind burrowed in, as if inside There was something that couldn't be hidden anymore, he grabbed Yu Chen's hand anxiously, and then pursed his lips.

Yu Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's the matter?" He glanced at Wen Su, and then packed everything into the box.

Wen Su let go of his hand, turned around and hurriedly stuffed the contents of the table into the backpack, then smiled and said, "Hey, are you going home soon?"

Yu Chen nodded, bent down and picked up the box on the ground, and then put it on the desk. He patted the ashes on his hands, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why don't you play ball with me for a while, and I don't know when we will meet in the future." Wen Su said something casually in a hurry, and after he finished speaking, he wanted to give himself a slap in the ear, the ground was still wet, this Can you play?

Yu Chen was silent for a while, then he turned his head and glanced at the clock hanging beside the blackboard, and then said: "I won't play the ball, I can sit with you by the side of the court for a while."

"Alright." Wen Su agreed with one mouthful. It doesn't matter whether he plays ball or not. He just... suddenly felt as if something was choked in Wen Su's throat. He couldn't speak or understand, why did he just It's rare for Yu Chen to be so rare, and this is not the only friend of his.

After stepping on the tree-lined path full of water, they walked to the old stadium, and then squatted on the steps beside the stadium.

The rain hasn't stopped yet, falling thinly on the face and arms like light silk.

There was a chill in the wind, Wen Su rubbed his arms, took out a pack of cigarettes from his backpack, handed one to Yu Chen, and said, "Are you coming?"

Yu Chen took it and put it in his mouth. Looking at the rain-washed stadium from a distance, he took out a book from a cardboard box and put it on the steps, then sat down, not forgetting to give Wen a book. Su also take a copy.

Wen Su sat down, took out the lighter for a long time, and said, "Which school do you think you will go to in high school?"

The lighter clicked, and then an orange flame burst out. The flame was blown erratically by the wind, as if it would go out in the next moment.

Wen Su brought the lighter closer to the cigarette Yu Chen was biting on his mouth, and the cigarette butt was lit with orange flames.He laughed, turned his head to look at Yu Chen, and forgot to light a cigarette for himself.

Yu Chen exhaled a mouthful of smoke, and the smoke dissipated in the slightly cool air, and there was no trace of its existence in an instant. He turned his head to look at Wen Su, and said, "Shi No. [-] Middle School."

"Oh." Wen Su nodded, silently remembering.Although both of them are boys, Yu Chen's smoking posture is still so good that Wen Su can't move his eyes. He looked at it for a while, then turned his head back, and said, "Will you still play basketball in the future?"

"Of course." Yu Chen said. He opened his mouth and was about to speak when the phone in his backpack rang. He took it out and connected it, and said, "Well, I see." After speaking, he hugged Carton stood up, frowning slightly.

Wen Su was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Yu Chen said, "I have to go."

So before Wen Su had time to say goodbye, he could only stand there in a daze, watching Yu Chen run out with the box in his arms.The water on the ground splashed and wet Yu Chen's trouser legs, and then the greenery extending from both sides of the path covered his figure.

But what Yu Chen wanted to say just now, Wen Su was full of disappointment, exhaled lightly, and slowly squatted down to look at the rain-drenched basket from a distance.

This rain lasted for a full week, as if to wash away the filth of the world, the rainwater flowed into the river, and even the dust on both sides of the river was washed down, and the overflowing river was dyed a turbid yellow.

After more than two months, the teenagers who had been at home for a long time had to return to school and put aside their fun.

Wen Su was walking on an unfamiliar school road with an empty backpack on his back. Strange faces kept passing by his side. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and played cheerful songs in his earphones.

Suddenly, he received a text message from his father on his mobile phone. He took it out and looked at it. It said the class he was assigned to and the teaching building where the classroom was located.

He jotted it down and put the phone back in his pocket.The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but speed up his steps a lot, full of joy and anticipation.

The corridor was full of three or two freshmen who were chatting together, talking and laughing. Wen Su was a little annoyed by the talking and laughing, so he had to amplify the music a little more.

As soon as Wen Su entered the classroom door, he saw Yu Chen sitting in the second-to-last row by the window without any surprises. Yu Chen still had the same calm and indifferent appearance, sitting alone in his seat and not talking to the people around him.

Wen Su turned around and walked out, thinking of going in through the back door to scare Yu Chen, he stepped lightly, patted Yu Chen's back suddenly, and said, "Hi."

However, Yu Chen was not frightened, he turned his head unhurriedly, and saw the man behind him smiling from ear to ear, he said in a little surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I'm also in this class." Wen Su said with a smile, pulled away the seat next to Yu Chen and sat down, naturally stuffed the backpack into the drawer, and then said, "How about going out for something to eat with me, I haven't had breakfast yet."
