Wind Shakes the Barley

"Jiang Xu, you are alone today. Have your parents come back yet?" Xu Yuanyuan greeted Jiang Xu warmly when she saw Jiang Xu. She works in the hospital and often visits Jiang's small shop. Mom is also familiar with it.

"No." Jiang Xu sat up straight unconsciously, raised his eyes and sneaked a glance at Dr. Chang, but saw that Dr. Chang was only looking down at the snacks on the counter.

His heart sank, and that stuffy feeling came up again.

"Brother Chang Qi, thank you for the birthday present you gave me earlier." Xu Yuanyuan blinked, with a playful smile on his face, "I also expressed that I will give you a catty of red bean cake."

Hearing the birthday gift, Jiang Xu raised his head and looked at Dr. Chang. He really wanted to ask what gift Dr. Chang gave Xu Yuanyuan, but when he saw Dr. Chang's alienated face, he couldn't ask anything.

He glanced at Xu Yuanyuan enviously, wrapped up the red bean cake, but handed it to Doctor Chang specially: "Your."

"Okay, thank you." Doctor Chang took the bag, without looking at him from the beginning to the end.

"Don't you two have a good relationship? Why are you so polite all of a sudden?" Xu Yuanyuan looked back and forth between the two curiously while paying.

Jiang Xu didn't respond, just looked at Dr. Chang.

"Is it polite to say thank you?" Doctor Chang smiled and said to Xu Yuanyuan, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Jiang Xu pursed his lips, stared at the backs of the two who were about to turn around, and suddenly called out: "Sister Yuan Yuan!"

"Huh? What's the matter?" Xu Yuanyuan turned around with a smile and took a step back.

"Are you in a relationship with Dr. Chang?" Jiang Xuban lay on the counter with a pure tone, like a child asking for gossip about an adult.

"Ah? Hahaha..." Xu Yuanyuan covered his mouth and smiled for a while, glanced at Dr. Chang, then also lay down on the counter, leaned into his ear, and whispered, "He looks better than me, How can I afford it, sister, I want to find someone who is not as good-looking as me, so that others can see her beauty at a glance!"

Jiang Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled sincerely at Xu Yuanyuan, agreeing: "Sister Yuanyuan, you are right, I support you."

Xu Yuanyuan: "Yes, my sister is absolutely right."

Jiang Xu nodded and said goodbye to her with a smile, but when he raised his eyes, he met Doctor Chang's gaze, but this time, Jiang Xu took the lead to look away and ignored the other's gaze.

His thoughts were already exposed, and naturally there was no need to hide them from the other party. He just wanted to let Dr. Chang know that he hadn't given up yet.

The half-month vacation is coming to an end soon, and Jiang Xu has officially entered the third year of high school. He wakes up at five o'clock in the morning and goes to bed at ten o'clock in the evening. The teachers of each subject take turns to watch closely. The numbers at the back of the classroom are getting smaller every day, and Jiang Xu is gradually getting nervous. .

His goal is still A University. According to the school's past results, the number of students admitted to A University every year is very low, and in some years there is even no one.Jiang Xu's current grades are ranked in the top [-] in his grade, and he is still too far away from A University. This makes him have a sense of urgency and works harder in his studies.

If he didn't think about it deliberately, he would even forget Dr. Chang.But as long as he thinks about it, he will find that this feeling is more and more turbulent every time, and he can only suppress that yearning by constantly doing questions.

Gradually, he stabilized in the top ten in the grade.

Then, the top three.

the first.

Then, under the surprised eyes of many teachers, he kept distanced from No.2, and the distance became farther and farther.

On June [-]th of the second year, there was light rain in the sky, and the school gate was crowded with parents of students.

Jiang Xu took the admission ticket from the teacher and put it in his pocket. Before entering the door, he couldn't help but glance behind him.

Since the last time he saw him, he hadn't seen that person again for a whole year in his third year of high school.

He didn't know what he was expecting. He had heard from his mother that Dr. Chang's work in Miaotou Town had ended, and he had gone through the formalities and left a few days ago.

Jiang Xu could almost imagine the impatience of the other party. After all, with such a malicious person around him, anyone should want to stay away.

Jiang Xu took out a one-inch photo from his pocket, looked at it quietly for a while, then raised his head, took a deep breath, and went straight into the examination room.

It rained continuously for two days. Jiang Xu came out of the examination room feeling relaxed.

After the test is to estimate the score, and then fill in the volunteer.

Without hesitation, he filled in the two options of University A, and then waited for the announcement of the results and the admission results.

Jiang Xu knew it well and was not in a hurry.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother rented a new store half a year ago, which is much bigger than the original one, and the dim sum shop has also been replaced by a snack bar.

Jiang Xu has been helping in the store, occasionally comforting his anxious parents, and his life is very ordinary.

Jiang Xu originally thought that he would not be too excited when he received the admission letter, but when he got the admission letter from University A, he couldn't help but turn red-eyed.

If he hadn't met that person, he probably wouldn't have been admitted to University A, but he would have been able to attend a good school, finish college safely, and maybe fall in love. As for whether the partner is a man or a woman, I really don't know for sure .

But regardless of gender, his feelings will definitely not be exiled to the wilderness like they are now, and abandoned like nothing.

But what can I do, he just likes it.

I like it so much that I would rather walk alone in the wilderness, but I still can't help but hope that there will be an oasis at the end.

Even, even if it's a mirage, that's fine.

"I'm admitted to A University."

"Hey, what are you doing?" Ni Shu touched Chang Qi with the wine bottle and looked at him dissatisfied.

"It's okay." Chang Qi replied lightly.

"Cut!" Ni Shu picked up a bottle of wine, and put it in front of Chang Qi with a bang, "I'm broken in love, and you're still holding your phone and looking at it non-stop, can you give your buddy some snacks? I don't care, you You must drink with me tonight until you get drunk!"

"Okay, let's drink with you." Chang Qi put away his phone, raised his head and took a sip.

A year later, the male dormitory of University A.

"Continue, you rejected our department's department again?" Hu Aixuan stared at Jiang Xu curiously, "Why do I think this is reversed, other departments are all men chasing after the department? , How are we doing here, Xihua is chasing the man."

Hu Aixuan clicked his tongue twice: "He is still a man with a pure heart and ascetic desires, ready to escape into Buddhism."

"What did I say that I'm going to escape into Buddhism?" Jiang Xu cast Hu Aixuan a glance, and continued typing on the keyboard.

"If you don't escape the empty door, what are you doing touching your strings all day long?" Hu Aixuan grabbed Jiang Xu's left hand. There was a Bodhi bracelet on it. It was very dark in color and had a faint luster. At a glance, it was obvious that there were many people wearing bracelets. Disk it.

"Isn't it like this when you rejected Chen Liyue." Hu Aixuan imitated the monk chanting on TV, put one hand on his chest, and twirled the bracelet with Jiang Xu's hand, "Amitabha, please be respectful, female benefactor."

"Get out." Jiang Xu kicked Hu Aixuan aside, too lazy to deal with this psychopath.

Hu Aixuan was not angry when he was kicked, but laughed endlessly.

A series of chirping bells rang, Jiang Xu picked up his phone and turned off the alarm clock, stuffed his wallet in his pocket and walked out: "I'm leaving."

"Slow down." Hu Aixuan waved at Jiang Xu, turned around and sighed when Jiang Xu walked out the door, and said to Jiang Wenxing, "Do you think Jiang Xu refused to agree to Chen Liyue because of his low self-esteem?"

"Where do you see that he has low self-esteem?" Jiang Wenxing gave Hu Aixuan a blank look, "Can't it just be that he doesn't like it?"

Hu Aixuan's eyes widened: "Chen Liyue is so beautiful, would you look down on me?"

Jiang Wenxing paused, and said, "Maybe Jiang Xu is not as superficial as we are, because he doesn't pay attention to appearance."

Jiang Xu took over a job as a tutor and went there four days a week.However, recently he found a new way to make money, writing websites for others, and earning a lot of money. He still has free time, and it is also helpful for his own technical improvement. He plans to spend more time studying that, so he is going to find Time quit his job as a tutor.

As soon as Jiang Xu entered, he saw Qiuyan sitting in the living room playing games.

Qiuyan is sixteen this year and is in the first year of high school. His math grades are terrible. Jiang Xu's main task is to help him with math.

"Mr. Jiang, you are here!" Qiu Yan greeted with a smile.

Jiang Xu ignored him and went straight to his room: "Your mother asked me how you were doing yesterday?"

"Oh, how did you come back?" Qiu Yan asked absently.

"I said—it's not as good as playing games with you."

"Eh?" Qiu Yan turned her head, quickly threw the game console and followed, "Don't, don't, are you still a good brother?"

"Who is a good brother to you!" Jiang Xu turned to stare at him, "Hurry up and learn from me."

Qiu Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately went back to the house honestly.

Jiang Xu followed him in, took Qiuyan's test questions for the past few days, explained the wrong questions to him again, and gave him a few more questions of the same type. During the break, Qiuyan went to the bathroom. Jiang Xu was bored. Qiuyan randomly picked out a magazine from the bookshelf.
