In the bathroom——

Cheng Si turned on the shower head to the maximum, tilted his head back and let the water flow down his face. He didn't know how long he had been showering. Several roommates at the door began to urge him, "Cheng Cheng, are you done in there? Are you okay?"

Cheng Si turned off the water and said to the door that it was okay. He walked forward a few steps and changed his clothes. There was a mirror right in front of the sink, and he could see it as soon as he raised his eyes. Suddenly, he remembered the many times he had washed with Jin Li.

After staring at the mirror for a while, he turned on the faucet and washed his face. After leaving the bathroom, Cheng Si's condition had recovered a lot. He smiled at his roommates who looked at him with concern, "I'm fine. I may need to move my things back to the dormitory. I have to trouble you for help."

"Hey, what's the trouble? Where are we moving to?" Hou Zuocheng was the first to ask enthusiastically.

"There's no rush. You haven't eaten yet, right? Eat something first," Xin Yisong put the porridge he had just bought downstairs in front of Cheng Si.

Cheng Si smiled at Xin Yisong again, "Thank you."

Xin Yisong looked at him with a bit of awkwardness, "You're welcome."

"If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. It looks so ugly," Lin Zhi pinched the corner of his mouth.

Cheng Si, "..."

The others shouldn't have laughed at this situation, but they couldn't help but chuckle anyway, mainly because Lin Zhi's posture was really funny.

"The pain is over, and life must go on," Lin Zhi patted him on the back.

"That's right, Cheng Cheng, be happy. I'll treat you tonight. Just order whatever you want. I think you'll be happy if you eat something delicious."

Maybe emotions are contagious. Although Cheng Si still felt a little sad, he felt a little relieved.

...

As the end of the semester approached, Cheng Si focused all his attention on studying, which numbed himself for a short time. After the holiday, he arranged his mother's affairs, and felt that he had too much free time, so he found a part-time job as a tutor for a junior high school student.

More than half a month passed like this. Jin Li kept his word and never looked for Cheng Si again. It was as if she had never appeared in his life. Cheng Si's life returned to a monotonous tranquility.

This actually made him panic. His memory was still slowly fading, and he knew that sooner or later Jin Li would really disappear from his memory, but he still insisted on looking through the diary every day, just hoping that he could remember this person a little longer.

Cheng Si went to Lingshui Town in early August with his mother. According to Yu Yanqing, "After staying in the city for a long time, I really want to go to the countryside to relax and breathe fresh air. Don't you miss your grandma too? Why not bring her home this time?"

Yu Yanqing's mentality changed a lot after she fell ill. She felt that she should spend more time with her family.

Cheng Si felt that he was sick. It was okay that he would think of Jin Li when he had nothing to do in the city, but now that he was in Lingshui Town, he still thought of him often.

When he helped his grandmother harvest rice, he thought of when he was here last year. When he stayed in the room, he would recall the days they were together. Even when he drank the sweet soup made by his grandmother, he could think of the series of sentences that this man used to praise his grandmother with sweet words last year.

At this moment, he wanted to forget him as soon as possible, so that he would not stay on this person's phone interface when he had nothing to do. He wanted to selfishly call him and say, "Jin Li, I miss you so much, can you forgive me?"

I don’t know if it’s because I think about it during the day and dream about it at night, but Cheng Si stared at this interface every day, and suddenly the screen showed this person’s cell phone number.

Cheng Si listened to the deafening ringing sound in his ears and felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He pressed the answer button with trembling hands.

Neither of them spoke the next second after the call was connected. Cheng Si wanted to speak first, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't utter a single syllable.

In the end, it was Jin Li who spoke first. He sighed and said, "Cheng Si, I've applied to the military academy."

It was a very short sentence, but Cheng Si took a long time to react. He wanted to ask why you applied to a military academy. Life as a soldier is very hard and the job is likely to be dangerous. Don’t you want to study law in the future?

But Cheng Si didn't say these words out loud. In the end, he just said "hmm" with difficulty. He was not in the position to ask so many questions now.

Jin Li only received a brief "hmm" and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Don't you have anything else you want to tell me?"

Cheng Si was silent for a long time, and Jin Li also waited for a long time. Seeing that he was still not speaking, he sneered and said, "I am sorry for interrupting you."

Jin Li was about to hang up the phone, but Cheng Si felt his hand hurt as he held the phone, so he quickly called out, "Yes."

He numbly said to the person on the other end of the phone the words he had practiced in his mind for a long time, word by word, "Jin Li, I was wrong, I'm sorry, you will definitely meet someone who treats you well and is a good match for you in the future. I wish you good health and all the best."

Cheng Si didn't know how he said those words. After he finished speaking, he bit his lips until they bled.

He didn't know what the other person was feeling, he only heard a very calm voice, "Okay, thank you for your congratulations, I appreciate it, goodbye Cheng Si."

After he finished speaking, a busy tone sounded from the other end. Cheng Si was still holding the phone blankly. He didn't know what was wrong with him. His chest was very stuffy. He pounded it hard as if he couldn't feel any pain, muttering, "It's okay, it's okay..."

Yu Yanqing heard the noise and rushed over to see what was happening. When she pushed open the door and saw Cheng Si punching her chest, she was so scared that she rushed over to stop him, "Cheng Cheng, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother!"

Cheng Si was grabbed by the wrist and was about to beat his chest out of habit, but Yu Yanqing's words called him back to his senses. He stared blankly at the person in front of him, and tears started flowing from his eyes without him knowing when. "Mom, my heart hurts so much."

Cheng Si looked soft-hearted, but he was actually more stubborn than anyone else. He never complained to his family no matter what happened. This was the first time he said such a weak word in front of her. Yu Yanqing felt sad when she heard it. She went over and hugged her son, "It's okay, it's okay. Everything will be fine in the future."

Cheng Si didn't say anything. For the first time, she burst into tears without caring about anything. She kept telling herself in her heart, "Cheng Si, how can you have the nerve to cry? You are so shameless."

But it was like a spring that could not be stopped. He was the one who pushed away the person he loved. After all these years, Jin Li had nothing to do with him anymore...
