"The college entrance examination is over tomorrow, Ali, have you decided which university to go to?"
An Ying sat cross-legged on the bed, twisting the corners of his clothes with his fingers. Maybe it was because of the hot summer night, or maybe it was because there was someone he cared about on the other end of the phone, and a thin layer of sweat emerged from the tip of his nose.
He is 17 years old this year, and tomorrow is the last day of the college entrance examination, which is also his birthday.
"I haven't figured it out yet, what's wrong?"
The voice from the other end of the phone has the vigor and hoarseness unique to young people.
The voice was transmitted to the ear through the earpiece, and it was obviously not loud, but it caused him to tremble slightly.He wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose, and whispered: "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask."
"You haven't slept yet?"
The sound of water came from Li Si's side, and his voice was mixed with the sound of water, making it inaudible.
An Ying pursed his lips and said, "I don't sleep, I'm a little nervous."
Li Si laughed: "Why are you nervous, you will take the college entrance examination next year."
An Ying retorted in a low voice: "I'm nervous because it's your college entrance examination, and I won't be nervous when I take the exam myself..."
After he spoke, the voice became smaller and smaller, and the sound of water in the earpiece became louder and louder. Li Si seemed to be unable to hear clearly, and asked, "What did you say?"
"It's nothing." An Ying said, tightening his fingers on the phone, and asked again: "Are you going to take a shower?"
He heard the sound of running water.
"Speak louder." Li Si's voice in the receiver was a little helpless, mixed with a smile: "I can't hear clearly."
"I said——" An Ying squeezed the phone tighter, he took a breath, and tried to make his voice louder, "Are you going to take a shower?"
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Li Si smiled, "You want to go together?"
"..." The lights in the room were not turned on, and there was only a glimmer of light from the nightlight outside the window, vaguely reflecting An Ying's appearance.
He was choked and unable to speak, his whole face turned red, and it took him a while to reply in a low voice: "Then you wash first, I'll hang up."
Li Si made a joke under his voice - "Still so shy."
An Ying covered the receiver, his heart pounding. After hanging up the phone for a while, he carefully moved the phone to his ear.There was no sound from the receiver, only his heartbeat echoed in the quiet night.
This was the eighth call he made to Li Si on his own initiative, and the call lasted 23 minutes and 1 seconds, which was [-] minute longer than the last time.
I have grown up.
An Ying half straightened up, clenched his fists and nodded to himself, his eyes filled with starlight.
After a while he was discouraged again.
Obviously, he and Li Si were not like this before. Before Li Si was adopted, they lived together, relied on each other, and talked about everything.And since Li Si was adopted three years ago, he lost all contact information of Li Si, and they had no contact for two years.
He asked all the people in the orphanage, including the director, nurses, and aunts, but none of them knew where Li Si was.
After finally getting Li Si's phone number from the dean last year, he pinched the small note with that string of numbers written on it, and stayed up all night.At five o'clock the next morning, he gathered the courage to add the number to the address book.
However, he still dared not call.
He didn't know if Li Si would pick it up, if he didn't want to talk, and if he... didn't know him anymore.
Otherwise, why never came to him? He waited for Li Si in the orphanage for a year, waiting for him to come to him, and rejected the adoption of several families.
But Li Si never came, and he also changed from anticipation at the beginning to disappointment to cautiousness now.
In the end, he hesitated for a long time, and decided to use this mobile phone number to search WeChat first, to see if he could add Lisi's WeChat first.
Fortunately, as he silently prayed in his heart, he successfully searched for Li Si's WeChat account.
After sending the request to add friends, there was no news for three days.He was also looking at his phone while walking, eating, and even taking it with him when he went to the toilet, for fear of missing the first message from Li Si.
But it wasn't until after two o'clock in the morning on the third day that Li Si agreed to the friend request.
An Ying, who was playing with his mobile phone in the dark under the covers, opened his eyes wide, staring at the screen saying "The other party is inputting..." for a long time without daring to catch his breath.After typing for so long, do you want to have a long talk with him!
An Ying bit his bent knuckles with some joy, and his whole body became excited.
However, in the end, the message that Li Si sent over was only three words——
— Ali: Still not asleep?
An Ying: "..."
—AY: Didn't sleep, I'm waiting for you.
— Ali: What are you waiting for me to do? I've been busy recently and haven't been on WeChat.
—AY: You will be in your third year of high school soon, and you will be very busy.
— Ali: Yes.
Just after sending the message, An Ying frowned, the chat was so boring that day.Obviously that's not what he wanted to say.
How come when he meets Li Si, he can't even speak.
After staying up for a while, Li Si didn't send any more messages, and he didn't know what to talk about, so he had to end the chat.
—AY: Then you go to bed early, we can talk tomorrow, okay?
— Ali: Yes.
In fact, the next day they were still chatting in this state, each saying a sentence back and forth, and there was nothing to say after a few words.
An Ying was very puzzled. He was actually a chatty chatterer, who seldom got off topic. He was a duck to water in the social circle, but when he met Li Si, he became a speechless little mute.
Sure enough, he should invite Lisi out to meet. There is no problem that cannot be resolved in one meeting. If not, then we will meet again.
However, the idea of meeting has never been realized until today, when he will be 17 soon, and he and Liz have been separated for more than three years.
An Ying lowered his eyes and decided that after the college entrance examination tomorrow, he would meet Li Si no matter what.He was afraid that after Li Si went to a more distant place to study in university, the hope of the two meeting would be even slimmer.
The night was getting darker, An Ying didn't sleep soundly that night, he kept dreaming, in the dream he returned to the days before he was 14 years old, the days when Li Si was with him day and night.
He opened his eyes early the next day, planned his travel route, and bought a ticket.He wanted Li Si to see him as soon as he finished the college entrance examination.
I want to give Liz a surprise.
The family who adopted Li Si lived in the north, while An Ying was in the south, and he had to fly for several hours to arrive.
This is his first time away from home.
After leaving the airport, he had to transfer to the subway and high-speed rail. An Ying estimated the time, and it might be close to night when he arrived.
When they arrived near the gate of Li Si's house, An Ying, who was carrying a luggage bag, stood in place and wandered.
Shall I contact Liz first?
Holding the phone in his hand, he hesitated to make up his mind, and finally he mustered up the courage to send a message to Li Si.
—AY: Where are you?
Liz returned quickly.
— Ali:?
— Ali: What's wrong?
—AY: I want to come to you.
This time there was no reply for a long time.
An Ying's heart was gradually raised as time passed, and the longer he waited for a reply, the more uneasy he became. In the end, he didn't even want to hear from Li Si—because Li Si might not be able to give a message. The answer he expected.
Li Si spent a long time, but only five words were sent.
— Ali: Let’s talk about it later.
Looking at these words, An Ying's eyes became sore instantly, and tears fell on the back of his hand before he could react.
Grievance and bitterness filled his heart, and he didn't know what to reply.
Just as I turned on my phone to buy a return ticket, a familiar voice came from behind——
"An Ying?"
He didn't have to look back to know who it was.
It's so familiar, so familiar that as soon as he opens his mouth, he will know who this person is.Even though they only had eight phone calls in three years.
"Hmm..." An Ying hurriedly wiped away his tears, turned around, and smiled, "It's me, I'm sorry, I came without saying hello to you."
Under the dim street lights, Li Si was already a lot taller than three years ago, even if An Ying drank milk every day, he still couldn't surpass him.The young man has a tall and straight figure, wearing a simple black T-shirt and sweatpants, and has a demeanor.
He looked at An Ying in silence for a while, and slightly tightened the hand hanging by his side.
An Ying also looked at him, frowned slightly unconsciously, and said in a low voice: "I... will go back later."
Li Si smiled suddenly, walked towards him, took the luggage bag on his back naturally, and said, "What are you doing back, let's go."
"Where are you going?" An Ying looked up in confusion.
"The college entrance examination is over, let's go out and relax, together?" Li Si said with his luggage bag in one hand and Jane in the other, tilting his head.
"Okay." An Ying nodded quickly, as if afraid of Li Si's repentance, "Together."
The cities in the north are less sweltering than the southern cities in summer. At night, there is a cool breeze blowing. An Ying and Li Si walked on the wide streets, and time seemed to flow much slower.
"Where do you want to go?" An Ying didn't want to push away Li Si's hand on his shoulder, and walked very carefully along the way, so he raised his face carefully and asked.I was worried that I would squeeze the hand on my shoulder with all my strength.
"I can do it, you are a guest, where do you want to go?" Li Si smiled and said, "It's up to you."
"I want to drink." An Ying answered without much hesitation.
The notebook under the pillow in his bedroom records a lot of goals he wants to accomplish, such as - have dinner with Ali, sing a song to Ali (note: if conditions permit, it is best to sing a love song), drink with Ali once liquor……
And so on, many goals, almost filled the entire notebook by him, but he has not achieved any of them.
It seems that tonight can make a good start, at least one can be realized.
Li Si was stunned for a second after hearing his answer, and then said: "Okay, let's go to the bar."
"No... not going to the bar." An Ying retorted eagerly, "I just want to drink with you, the bar is not good."
Liz raised his eyebrows.
An Ying continued: "And I'm underage, so I can't go to bars."
Li Si: "Then minors can drink alcohol?"
An Ying: "Yes, I've already drank it."
"Drink it already?" Li Si looked down at him, "When?"
An Ying pouted, not daring to say anything.After all, it's a bit embarrassing to say this reason, how can it be said that every time he misses Li Si, he will go out and buy Jiang Xiaobai to get drunk and relieve his worries.Li Si would definitely laugh at him if he said it.
"Anyway, I just drank it." An Ying muttered in a low voice, but did not answer directly.
Li Si suddenly let go of the hand holding his shoulder, the movement was smooth, as if he was just a little tired from holding it, and just moved his hand.
But An Ying quit.
The body is faster than the brain, and the mouth is faster than the brain.When he reacted, he had already grabbed Li Si's hand and hung it on his arm, saying while hanging, "You can't let go, you have to hug."
By the time he came to his senses, half of his face was already red.
"Want to hug?" Li Si smiled and bent over to look at him.
An Ying turned his head to avoid his gaze.
"That can't be done." Li Si said slowly again.
"Why?" An Ying turned to look at him again with a blushing face.
"Someone doesn't even want to tell me when they learned to drink. I'm a little sad and I can't hug it for the time being."
"I'll say it." An Ying perfected his grip, grabbed Li Si's wrist, raised his head, and said, "It was in the freshman year of high school. I never drank it in junior high school."
"I'm actually a good student who obeys the rules." He seemed to be afraid that Li Si would misunderstand something, and added seriously.
"Are you a good student?" Li Si raised his brows with a smile, but just repeated it in a slightly elongated tone, without making any other comments.
An Ying's ears turned red because of this sentence.
Li Si looked down at his profile and the reddish pinnae, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.
An Ying touched his mandible, turned his head sideways, so that Li Si could not see the unconcealed joy and tenderness in his eyes.
Their relationship seems to be slowly recovering on this wide and extended road, and the small cracks caused by time are quietly mended by your words.The wind passed through the two mischievously, as if trying to separate them, but in the end it only brought coolness.
After the cool wind blew, the two gently held each other's hand without knowing when.
An Ying sat cross-legged on the bed, twisting the corners of his clothes with his fingers. Maybe it was because of the hot summer night, or maybe it was because there was someone he cared about on the other end of the phone, and a thin layer of sweat emerged from the tip of his nose.
He is 17 years old this year, and tomorrow is the last day of the college entrance examination, which is also his birthday.
"I haven't figured it out yet, what's wrong?"

The voice was transmitted to the ear through the earpiece, and it was obviously not loud, but it caused him to tremble slightly.He wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose, and whispered: "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask."
"You haven't slept yet?"
The sound of water came from Li Si's side, and his voice was mixed with the sound of water, making it inaudible.
An Ying pursed his lips and said, "I don't sleep, I'm a little nervous."
Li Si laughed: "Why are you nervous, you will take the college entrance examination next year."
An Ying retorted in a low voice: "I'm nervous because it's your college entrance examination, and I won't be nervous when I take the exam myself..."
After he spoke, the voice became smaller and smaller, and the sound of water in the earpiece became louder and louder. Li Si seemed to be unable to hear clearly, and asked, "What did you say?"
"It's nothing." An Ying said, tightening his fingers on the phone, and asked again: "Are you going to take a shower?"
He heard the sound of running water.
"Speak louder." Li Si's voice in the receiver was a little helpless, mixed with a smile: "I can't hear clearly."
