It all started when Yu Zhinian was 14 years old during his summer vacation.The hot summer from the second to the third year of junior high school is in late July.

When the homeroom teacher called Yang Zhongyun's scholarship award notification, Yu Zhinian was sitting at the dining table, helping his sixth-grade cousin with summer math homework.

The phone rang without warning. My aunt left the half-knitted sweater and hurried to the room to pick it up. Then she came out of the bedroom and told Yu Zhinian: "What kind of scholarship did you get? They said that as long as the scores meet the standards, every I can get 2 yuan for living expenses during the semester, and I can go to Ning City to play in a few days."

The next day, Yu Zhinian went to the principal's office to get the special-needs scholarship that he had never heard of, and went home and handed the envelope containing the scholarship to his aunt.

Yu Zhinian's aunt was not very close to his mother. She worked as an accountant in a small factory and her salary was not high. She divorced her uncle very early and lived with her cousin.

Half a year ago, after Yu Zhinian's parents passed away one after another, she couldn't bear him to live in an orphanage with poor conditions, so she took him home.

In order to treat his grandfather earlier, Yu Zhinian's parents sold the house, and their savings were long gone. Later, they had a car accident and a terminal cancer, and they left shortly after they were found out, leaving him with almost nothing.He knows that living in his aunt's house is a big burden for her. He usually undertakes most of the housework at home, tutors his cousin, and always wants to reduce her financial burden.

My aunt looked at Yu Zhinian's hand, showing hesitation, Yu Zhinian handed it to her again, explaining that she usually doesn't spend any money, and the money can be used to buy vegetables for the family, and she finally accepted it .

A week later, Yu Zhinian and the leading teacher arranged for him by the project team took the high-speed train to Ning City for five hours, and rushed to the lecture hall on the top floor of the Ning University Library to attend the opening ceremony of the study tour.

There are more than 80 students in the study tour, from all over the country, all funded by Yang Zhongyun, most of them are high school students, and there are very few of Yu Zhinian's age.

Yu Zhinian asked the high school students sitting next to him, and learned that before they won the award and entered the camp, they all passed the application and assessment at the school.

"Study tours are selected from those who have received scholarships. Scholarships are easy to get, but study camps are not easy to get into." After hearing Yu Zhinian's story, the high school students showed a puzzled expression, "There are forty students in our city who have received scholarships. From here, only one was selected. Are you junior high school students different?"

Yu Zhinian didn't have an answer, and felt even more uneasy.

His grades were really good, he was No. 1 in the municipal examination for county-level junior high schools at the end of last semester.But when he got the scholarship, when the head teacher came out of the principal's office with him, he also mentioned it to him with some doubts. His grades in [-] are not too good in the province, and his family status is not up to the poorest.

For some reason, it was Yu Zhinian who won the favor of the scholarship review team.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the opening ceremony began. The host read out the opening process, and invited the scholarship provider, Chairman Yang Zhongyun of Zhongqin Group, to speak.

Wearing a suit, Yang Zhongyun is tall and has a gentle and elegant demeanor.

Before Yu Zhinian, he searched Yang Zhongyun's name on the Internet.Encyclopedia says that Yang Zhongyun is 78 years old this year, but Yu Zhinian thinks that he looks much younger, in his early sixties at most.

Yang Zhongyun said that he was born in poverty, and his life was full of hardships. Thanks to the kind people who helped him from time to time, he managed to save himself from danger all the way and finished his Ph.D.

After establishing a career, he has the conditions, so he wants to give back to the society, just like others helped him before, to make some contributions to the students in need.

Chairman Yang's speech was not long and ended in 10 minutes.

The next person to speak was the vice president of Ningda University.After not listening to the principal for a long time, Yu Zhinian's team leader teacher suddenly came to him, leaned down, and whispered to him: "Zhi Nian, come out with me."

Yu Zhinian followed the team lead teacher out of the lecture hall with some confusion.

"It's like this," the team leader teacher told Yu Zhinian when he came to the corridor, "there was a problem with the hotel reservation of the study tour camp. You were left out of the list and one room was booked less. Now the hotel room is full. Find a bigger room with an extra bed, but Chairman Yang offered to take you back to his house after hearing about it."

While talking, he led Yu Zhinian to the end of the long corridor, knocked on the door and entered a lounge.

The lounge is spacious, with all the lights on, gray carpet, murals on the walls, and a set of light white sofas.

Chairman Yang, who was speaking on the stage just now, was sitting on one of the sofas, with some men in suits standing or sitting beside him.

Yang Zhongyun watched Yu Zhinian walk in, showed a very amiable smile, and said, "This is Zhinian, hello."

Although Yu Zhinian matured precociously, he was only 14 years old after all. It was the first time he saw a big man, his heart beat fast, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He was gently pushed by the team leader teacher to sit on the sofa next to Yang Zhongyun, and he stuttered and chatted with Yang Zhongyun for a while God.

Compared with the successful big entrepreneur in the press release, Yang Zhongyun in reality is like a loving elder, with less sense of majesty, with a very kind tone and slow speech speed.

He asked about Yu Zhinian's life, and told Yu Zhinian that he also had a grandson, who was about the same age as Yu Zhinian, but was spoiled by tutors and nanny, and his grades were not as good as Yu Zhinian's, nor as good as Yu Zhinian's. Sensible, and then invite Yu Zhinian to live in his house for a few days, it can also set an example for his grandson Yang Ke, allowing him to experience the lives of other children.

Yu Zhinian is young, but he has experienced many human relationships and is sensitive to human affairs.Yang Zhongyun's words seemed reasonable at first glance, but he still felt something was wrong in his heart.

However, Yang Zhongyun is a well-known wealthy businessman, while Yu Zhinian is just an ordinary middle school student.After thinking for a long time, he couldn't find anything in himself that could make Yang Zhongyun want something.

The two sat and chatted for a while, and the teacher who went out came back and said that Yu Zhinian's luggage had been placed in Chairman Yang's car.

Yang Zhongyun glanced at his watch and said, "Then let's go, Zhinian."

They went down the elevator next to the lounge to the garage below the library.

Yu Zhinian and Yang Zhongyun sat in a very long black car anxiously. The car drove forward and exited the underground garage. The clear sky with the sun high above it disappeared at some point, gray rain clouds and the dull low pressure before the rain instead.

Soft pure music was playing in the car, Yang Zhongyun did not shy away from making a few phone calls at work, and Yu Zhinian looked at the scenery outside the car window.

Several times, Yu Zhinian felt that Yang Zhongyun's eyes were fixed on him, but when he looked back, he found that Yang Zhongyun seemed to be just thinking.

Yang Zhongyun's villa occupies a large area in the south of Ning City.

The high stone wall circled the hospital, and the iron gates slowly moved to both sides.The car drove a little further, passed the stretch of lawn, and stopped in front of a low building at the front of the corridor.

"My grandson likes swimming," Yang Zhongyun told Yu Zhinian, "I built him a swimming pool at home."

The driver opened the door for Yu Zhinian, Yu Zhinian got out of the car, and found that the air pressure outside the car was even lower, and there was faint thunder in the sky.

But the swimming pool is air-conditioned and not stuffy.

He followed Yang Zhongyun in, and heard the sound of water in the empty hall.A coach-like figure was standing by the pool with a stopwatch, seemingly counting time.

The first time Yu Zhinian saw Yang Ke, Yang Ke was soaked in the water, looked up at Yang Zhongyun, and called "Grandpa" casually.

Yang Ke was less than a year older than Yu Zhinian, but his physique was more than a little bigger than Yu Zhinian. Water dripped from his black hair and dripped onto the muscles of his shoulders.

He looks very relaxed, used to enjoying wealth, like the person Yu Zhinian would see on his cousin's favorite TV, living in a big house, driving a brightly colored convertible car when he grows up, partying everywhere, without worries.

Yu Zhinian suddenly wanted to touch the 2000 yuan that his aunt put in the inner pocket of his schoolbag.

As far as he can remember, Yu Zhinian has not lived a superior material life, and is often troubled by money, but when he sees that others have it, he does not feel inferior or yearn for it.Until the afternoon when he saw Yang Ke, he had an erratic desire that he had never had before.

He didn't know where it came from, and he almost panicked.

Recalling this day as an adult, he seemed to finally understand the origin of desire.

The 14-year-old Yu Zhinian gained fresh experience in the empty swimming pool, started a new life that is difficult to judge good or bad, and met Yang Ke, who will live together for nearly ten years, but also lost part of it. The original self.
