chilling

For things like the college entrance examination, you feel that it is far away when you first enter school, but when that day really comes, you find it is very close.Yu Qiuliang stood outside the test site, holding his ugly test admission ticket in his hand, with a dazed expression on his face.His school didn't have a three-day holiday just before the exam as rumored. He had known about this as early as the moment he saw the seniors studying frantically on the eve of the college entrance examination in the first year of senior high school, but he was still lucky.However, this fluke mentality was finally crushed by the reality. On the eve of the college entrance examination, they did not have a holiday like previous students.

The sky was very gloomy, but it didn't look like it was going to rain at all, and the sun was still poking its head secretly behind the clouds.Not long after, all the clouds in the sky dispersed, and the sun finally came out, shining hotly into people's eyes.

Outside the examination room, there was a large area full of parents who came to see off their children. Yu Qiuliang's father also sent him off once for the first time, but Yu Xiasheng didn't come.This time Yu Qiuliang didn't think it was Yu Xiasheng who broke his promise. He knew that just the night before his college entrance examination, Du Xiaoyuan called Yu Xiasheng and told him that Chu Xiaohan had escaped from prison.

Chu Xiaohan's escape may have been expected by Yu Xiasheng, or they deliberately left the opportunity to escape for Chu Xiaohan to take advantage of.Otherwise, when he heard that she had run away, why did Yu Xiasheng remain unmoved, and even looked like he wanted to laugh?

During the exam, it is best not to think about those miscellaneous things.Yu Qiuliang was holding a water bottle in his hand, and Song Ciran's nagging was around his ears.Coincidentally, he and Song Ciran were assigned to the same examination room in the same school. This may be fate, and God's will kept him and Song Ciran inseparable from life to life.

But Yu Qiuliang felt that this predestined fate would come to an end in the future. Based on his math scores, he might not be able to catch up with Song Ciran's total score in the college entrance examination.If there is a large difference in the total score, no matter how high the scores in individual subjects are, it is useless. He and Song Ciran cannot enter the same university.

At that time, there will be hundreds of thousands of miles between the south and the north, and maybe we can only see each other for two or three months a year.In the future, there will be more things to be busy, and even those precious two or three months will be occupied.Work, eat, go home and sleep, and so on, this is the boring life of adults.

Yu Qiuliang suddenly smiled.He found that it was always easy for him to keep thinking backwards from the things in front of him, thinking far and far away, but he didn't need to think about things that far away at all.If it is coming, it is coming, and if it is not coming, there is no need to worry about it, just go forward steadily, and just walk in front of it all the way.

At least at this moment, he should be happy to see the sun shining down from the leaves, to see his father's car parked not far away, and to hear Song Ciran chattering like a magpie.

However, seeing the photo on the admission ticket, Yu Qiuliang still couldn't be happy.The photo is really ugly, it's suffocatingly ugly.He sneaked a look at how other students held their admission tickets, and found that they all put the printed side down without exception, and only let it be shown on the back.

It seems that everyone cares about saving face and refuses to let others know that they are still so ugly.

Yu Qiuliang plans to throw away the school uniform after the college entrance examination is over, even though the school uniform carries the so-called "memories of youth".He doesn't really want to keep a set of tattered clothes in his closet, he is used to clearing out all the old things that are useless.He threw away all the elementary school uniforms, junior high school uniforms, and tablecloths. As for high school, the high school in chaos and chaos, he did not leave too many good memories. He has nothing worth remembering, and he does not intend to keep that set of school uniform forever .

Even if he did stay, he would never wear this school uniform again, and if a piece of clothing is not worn by others, it loses its meaning of existence.Yu Qiuliang and Song Ciran did not wear school uniforms today. Students are not required to wear school uniforms in the college entrance examination, and they are too hot to cover their sticky sweat in this sweltering weather.

Song Ciran squatted on the ground, muttering a string of numbers in his mouth, which was his admission ticket number.Yu Qiuliang felt that his behavior was meaningless, but it was funny.

So far, apart from his little penguin account number and the mobile phone numbers of those close to him, the only numbers that Yu Qiuliang can remember clearly are his ID number and his code in Yu Xiasheng's file.Later, he secretly flipped through Yu Xiasheng's cell phone, and was surprised to see that the note Yu Xiasheng gave him was not the string of numbers, but a small moon.

What the moon means, Yu Qiuliang has not yet understood, he only knows that he is probably special in Yu Xiasheng's heart.

Yu Xiasheng's phone has a lock, password lock and fingerprint lock. Yu Qiuliang doesn't know his lock screen password, but he can still open his phone.

Because the old ghost had recorded his fingerprints in the device at some point, he pressed the back of the phone and it unlocked magically.

"No, I'm a little nervous." Song Ciran squatted on the ground, suddenly raised his hand to hug Yu Qiuliang's thigh and rubbed it.Yu Qiuliang was still immersed in the memories, and when his face was rubbed by him, goose bumps appeared all over his body, and he wished to hit him on the head with the heavy mineral water bottle in his hand.

Song Ciran's little girlfriend was not around, so he secretly did some shameful things.Yu Qiuliang slapped him on the head and drove him away from him. At the same time, the gate of the test center not far away slowly opened, and the candidates standing in the front row entered one after another like one after another. Carp can't wait to jump over the Dragon Gate, but among them, those who can transform into real dragons are still a minority.

Song Ciran can't be blamed for his poor mental quality.The college entrance examination is a single-plank bridge. Everyone doesn't say it, but they all know it well.While walking across this single-plank bridge, the ones you squeeze down may be your relatives or your friends. If you are a little careless, you will be squeezed under the bridge by others.There are too many people in this country, and they can only be screened in such a simple and rough way. There is no room for carefulness and meticulousness.

So far, there is not much to say.Passing through the gate of the test center and walking to the flower bed, Yu Qiuliang sighed vicissitudes of life, patted Song Ciran on the shoulder twice, and comforted him earnestly: "Don't be nervous, it's just Chinese."

"Hoo--" Song Ciran took a deep breath and let it out again, feeling much calmer.

He turned his head to look at Yu Qiuliang, his eyes were full of gratitude.Then he said, "Thank you! Don't be nervous about the math test this afternoon."

..............................

It's okay not to mention it, but Yu Qiuliang's headache will come when this matter is mentioned.He had deliberately ignored the math test in the afternoon, but who knew that Song Ciran's head was so rigid that he could not open which pot and which pot to lift.

"Oh." Yu Qiuliang sighed.

Yu Qiuliang didn't know how the language test ended. He just felt that he answered a few questions casually as usual.It was still his father who picked him up after the exam. Seeing him wandering in the sky, his father smiled very rarely and comforted him, telling him not to pay too much attention to his grades.The exam was over, it was useless to think too much, Yu Qiuliang licked his lips, feeling his throat was parched.He took out a can of iced soda, but the can of drink had been in his school bag all morning, it was no longer iced soda, it was just a humble normal temperature now.

After his father sent him home, he went upstairs to cook. Looking at his back, Yu Qiuliang's mood suddenly became very complicated.Father is getting old, with a few white hairs mixed on his head, and the burden of life makes his back slightly bent, and now he is very much like Lu Huaiming back then.

Just as Lu Huaiming hoped that Lu Li would grow up, get married and have children, his father must also have expectations for him, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything.He died as early as his 17th birthday, and this body has no chance to grow up. As for getting married and having children, that is even more impossible.

Father is going to be disappointed in him.

Although they have a young son, they are already 40 years old. Where is the extra energy to take care of a child who is farther away from growing up?Yu Qiuliang sniffed, and suddenly called out to him: "Dad."

The voice is not loud, just enough for my father to hear.Yu Qiuliang scratched his head embarrassingly, and said, "Dad, you go back and have a good rest. I will take the exam by myself in the afternoon, so there is no need to send it off."

Isn't it just to take the exam?It's not that he doesn't know that place, and he will arrive there in a short while by bike, and he can enjoy the wind on the road, thinking about his thoughts alone.

Unexpectedly, his father smiled at him and for the first time in his life did not allow him to travel alone.

"Others have parents to pick them up, but you don't, how can you?"

The elevator arrived soon, Yu Qiuliang didn't have time to think about it, didn't have time to argue, he just nodded hastily and sent his father to the elevator.The sound of the elevator door closing was loud, shaking Yu Qiuliang's long-dead heart to beat. He turned around slowly, opened the door to the second floor, and sat on the ground in front of the door.

Yu Xiasheng didn't go home, he brought the little black cat to work, so no one could see Yu Qiuliang's gaffe.Yu Qiuliang felt that he had lived for more than ten years, and he had never been so stupid. Once he felt a little tenderness, his stone-like heart would start beating again.Is this something to be happy about?Is that worth the anger?His mind is full of chaos, he doesn't know anything.

Still took a nap at noon, Yu Qiuliang recharged his energy, and went to the examination room in the afternoon to meet the death sentence.Mathematics, damn mathematics, mathematics that kills thousands of knives, mathematics that is against humanity, mathematics that has troubled him for three full years.Mathematics was the only subject that made him feel like he was going to fail, and because of that, he refused to repeat it.

If he repeats it, math will have to haunt him for another year.

Absolutely not, you can't touch mathematics anymore, this bastard, if you look at it for a second, Yu Qiuliang wants to die.

Yu Qiuliang sat in the examination room unrequitedly, looking at Song Ciran who was also unrequited through the aisle.Song Ciran was dumbfounded, his eyes were always looking straight ahead, Yu Qiuliang thought that he might be too nervous.

Be nervous, you have to take the exam.Yu Qiuliang took the math paper and hardly dared to look at the questions on it, but this was the college entrance examination, and he was not allowed to be willful. He quickly prepared his mind and glanced at the test paper calmly.

It's okay, it's not that I can't understand everything, and it's not that I don't know how to get it.Yu Qiuliang breathed a sigh of relief, and a big stone that was pressing on his heart gradually sank.

There are no major problems with the questions, and there is enough time for the exam. After all, half of his math papers are empty, and most of the written part of the questions is still relying on mediocrity.

After finishing the math test and returning home, Yu Qiuliang found that Yu Xiasheng still hadn't come back.

Is he so busy recently?Yu Qiuliang was inexplicably dissatisfied.

That night, Yu Qiuliang didn't sleep well. On the second day, he should have been sleepy, but the comprehensive essay exam stimulated his potential and made him endure until the afternoon.Literature and Chinese are the two subjects he is best at. Mathematics is a thorn in his side, and English is relatively mediocre.There is nothing worth remembering about Yu Qiuliang's English test. The only special thing is that he got confused when playing the listening comprehension.

Chu Xiaohan escaped from prison, and after Yu Qiuliang handed in the English answer sheet, he felt that he had also escaped from prison just like Chu Xiaohan.It's just that what Chu Xiaohan escaped from was a real prison, and what he escaped from was just a symbolic cage.

Yu Qiuliang and Song Ciran were silent, and walked out of the examination room side by side.They walked very fast, and the more they walked, the more they wanted to laugh.There was no one on the road downstairs, and everyone's movements were slower than the two of them, which gave them the illusion that they were the chosen ones and could enter key universities tomorrow.

Of course that was all a daydream, at least temporarily.It takes a long time for the results of the college entrance examination to come out, and during this time, anything can happen.Yu Qiuliang stepped out of the entrance of the test center, raised his hand and gave Song Ciran a high-five, the two hands collided, as if they wanted to crush all the anguish and aggrievedness of the past three years.They agreed that no one would repeat the exam, and no matter what they got in the exam, they would never go through the life of the third year of high school again.They want to run far away, away from the high school in the dark, away from politics and history, and away from language and mathematics.

Song Ciran's parents didn't come to pick him up, nor did Yu Qiuliang's father. They agreed to go out to play after the exam, and no one would let the parents pick him up.

After the college entrance examination, the first reaction was not to go on a date with his girlfriend, but to go out and run around with his brother. Song Ciran is really a good buddy.Leaving the vicinity of the test site, the traffic flow was greatly reduced. Yu Qiuliang and Song Ciran drove all the way, first ran to the cold drink shop to eat ice cream, and then stopped the tram at the door of the bookstore.This time they did not choose an Internet cafe, firstly because the Internet cafes have been very strict in checking minors recently, and secondly because the college entrance examination does not match Internet cafes.

The air-conditioning in the book city was fully turned on, Yu Qiuliang and Song Ciran walked past various counters with ice cream in their left hand and ice coke in their right. The "Five-Year College Entrance Exam and Three-Year Simulation" piled up like a mountain, and the "Modern Chinese Dictionary" almost reached the ceiling. Looking at them, Yu Qiuliang felt strange and distant.

From today onwards, I will be waving goodbye to my high school life, but in the end, I am still not used to it.Those school uniforms, school songs and school mottos will eventually become a long history, and as the students grow up, they will be buried in the dust of memory.Maybe many years later, when they recall their school days, they will find that those years seem to be close at hand, but in fact they are far away.

Yu Qiuliang's high school ended so plainly that he wanted to laugh.In the past three years, he has been trapped in his own world, trapped in his family, contending with himself, and wrestling with the burden brought by his studies. In the end, he doesn't know whether he lost or won.His high school was really ordinary, there was no grandeur, no ups and downs, he was just an ordinary student.

But most people in the world are ordinary people, and the world is made up of ordinary people.Everyone needs to be aware of their ordinaryness, and then slowly get used to it.Yu Qiuliang's fingers brushed over the spine of the book, and the cold spine was blown even colder by the cold wind from the air conditioner in the book city.

One day, another pair of hands will pick up these books, take them home, and fill them with words.They are either treasured and hidden in bookcases, or discarded with disdain.In any case, its mission as a reference book is accomplished.

Yu Qiuliang and Song Ciran went crazy outside until very late, and they didn't ride home until Song Ciran was tired.According to Song Ciran, the exams in the past three years have severely damaged his vitality. After the college entrance examination, he had to sleep for three days and three nights to replenish his energy.Now that the exam is over and he has nothing else to do, he can sleep as he likes.Yu Qiuliang took a sip of the iced drink, took out a small object from his pocket and threw it to him.

Song Ciran picked it up, and found that it was a small crystal, with a little red in the center of the crystal, as if it was naturally generated, and it seemed to be blood.

"What is this?" The more Song Ciran looked at it, the more familiar it became, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, realizing that Yu Qiuliang had something similar.

Yu Qiuliang's crystal was still hanging on his neck properly, and the one he threw to Song Ciran was the one he asked for from Yu Xiasheng two days ago.He wanted to give Song Ciran a thank you gift, and after thinking about it, he still felt that this thing was the most practical.

Yu Xiasheng was not stingy with those few drops of blood, and likewise, he was not short of crystal stones.Yu Qiuliang asked him for something, and a few hours later when he came home from get off work, he brought back everything Yu Qiuliang wanted.At that time, he probably saw that the college entrance examination was only two days away, and he wanted Yu Qiuliang to be happy and take the exam with peace of mind, so he agreed to all Yu Qiuliang's requests and gave him the comfort before the storm.

"The amulet for you is auspicious. You can wear it or put it in your pocket. Anyway, don't lose it." Yu Qiuliang concealed a lot of things, only telling Song Ciran that it was an amulet, and Song Ciran didn't think much about it , cheerfully put the crystal into his chest pocket.The pocket on his chest was the closest to his heart, and Yu Qiuliang had only seen him put a letter from his girlfriend in it. Apart from that letter, this crystal should be the only thing he could cherish.

Thankfully, he took it seriously and didn't take it as a joke.

I hope that in the future, he can always bring this crystal with him, and occasionally see things and think about others.

The lights on the second floor were dark, and Yu Xiasheng hadn't come home yet.

Yu Qiuliang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

...Is he still planning to go home?

The notification sound of the unread message dispelled Yu Qiuliang's worries, and Yu Xiasheng sent a short sentence: "I'm busy with you; sleep first, and I'll come back tomorrow."

"Speak with a subject, thank you." Yu Qiuliang replied.

"I brought the cat to work, and Gu Jia is playing with it. Don't give Lu Huaiming any more biscuits. Once you give it, I will confiscate it. Move your head and think about giving me something good " Soon, Yu Xiasheng sent a long paragraph, he finally added the subject and said a complete sentence.

But, it's none of his business if others give Lu Huaiming something?

The sour taste is so strong that it overflows the phone screen.Maybe he put too much vinegar for dinner at night.

The author has something to say:

This chapter is also a manuscript. After calculating the time, it was probably published around the New Year's Eve.

Happy new year to myself.

After the first day of the first month is the second day of the first month, do something.
