Like wind

After Lu Lin took a shower, he heard other people discussing the holiday when he came out.

"Hey, you said that the rain is so heavy this time, it can't be a typhoon?"

"Where is the typhoon coming from here in autumn?"

"That's right, but if there is a typhoon, classes can be suspended haha."

"It's useless to make up after class suspension."

And so on, the boys discussed endlessly, and they all felt that any vacation was earned.

In fact, the time they spend together like this is decreasing day by day, which is a huge loss.

"Is there no holiday to take except New Year's Day?"

"Almost, it's right to have another Christmas holiday."

Hearing the word Christmas, Lu Lin's legs dangling in the air stopped.

It's that time again.

Immediately after turning over, the air conditioner was covered and Lu Lin went to bed first.

The sports meeting in November was no longer as exciting as before. When Lu Lin went to the field to compete, he didn't worry as much as before. Some just wanted to perform as best as he could.After the game, facing the greetings from classmates, I was more moved.

He didn't know how Qiu Yu would feel at the beginning.

Whenever a classmate in his class got a good ranking or temporarily took the lead in the competition, the girls would always burst into screams. Lu Lin twisted open a bottle of mineral water and drank it. Facing the cool autumn wind, he felt very comfortable.

Maybe, I was in the same mood as them last year, right?Lu Lin smiled, took out the book and began to review.Prepare for the next exam.

If the results of the innovation competition are good enough, maybe the second semester of senior high school or the first semester of senior high school will be able to get the notification letter?Lu Lin rested his chin and thought, feeling that there is nothing more beautiful than this in life.

Lu Lin also knew a little about going abroad.After all, the school has exchange students every year, and they are all from good family backgrounds.If I remember correctly, there will probably be a group of exchange students in the second semester of the second year of high school. After that, I will take the SAT test to see if I can reach the score line, as well as IELTS and TOEFL scores, so as to continue to strive for the admission letter.

Now it seems that Qiu Yu is going to go abroad.Lu Lin thought blankly, if he strung together those seemingly insignificant things earlier, he would find out quickly.

But what is the origin of that Ling Xinyu?

Forget it, anyway, it has nothing to do with me now.Lu Lin no longer continued to think about Christmas, but at the same time it was his own birthday, and continued to read books.

Three days passed quickly, and at the end of the sports meeting, Lu Lin saw that the half-term exam date circled on the small calendar was approaching.He picked up a pencil and marked it with a fork, turned around to take a bath towel and clothes, and didn't care at all.

A person's growth is inadvertent to everyone, such as Lu Lin.If it were him in the past, he was doubly nervous before the exam; now it is calm and breezy, just do your best.Naturally, this time was the same as usual, with a good score and ranking.

Before this, when the red list was released, Lu Lin did not squeeze in the front, but waited for everyone to disperse, and carefully browsed every name on it.He is still looking for that person.

The result remains the same, still not found.

Lu Lin sighed in the deepest part of his heart, feeling worthless for Qiu Yu.

Unworthy to himself, unworthy to him.

As the days go by and the weather gets colder, everyone starts putting on winter clothes.Lu Lin also changed into the last foreign trade order from the student street or the wholesale market. The style is elegant and beautiful, and it keeps warm from the cold.This made him believe even more in the truth that good things must be fought for by oneself.

Christmas is approaching, and students who still need decorations come to him to buy them. This time, with the "vigorous publicity" of the friends, it almost robs most of the shops around the school. After all, Lu Lin is really cheap.

When it came to Christmas, almost all the roommates helped Lu Lin handle all the business.Soliciting and door-to-door delivery, and collecting money to settle accounts.Lu Lin thanked them from the bottom of his heart. It was no longer a question of the depth of friendship. It was too little to waste time and do one's best to help one person in such a society.

The hustle and bustle died down and night fell.Lu Lin returned to the dormitory, ready to take a shower and go to bed early; when he opened the door of the dormitory, he found that there was no one there, which felt strange.I didn't think much about preparing the toiletries.

In the empty dormitory, Lu Lin hummed while taking a shower in the bathroom, his voice gradually became louder, and he almost roared later.After about half an hour of washing, he came out wearing a bath towel and found a group of people sitting on the bed by the door staring at him.

"When did you come back!"

"you guess."

"Don't look!" Lu Lin immediately covered the key parts, trying to escape into the bathroom and get dressed before coming out.

"No chance!" Finally, he was caught out.

Lu Lin was pushed on the bed without any clothes on, and the clothes were thrown away somewhere. "Don't you wonder where we went?"

"Give me the clothes first!" Lu Lin said angrily, his face blushing more obviously from embarrassment.

"Guess where we went first, and I'll give you clothes if you guess right."

"No guessing!"

After listening to the bed, Lu Lin said, "It's so sad, we ran so far to buy you a birthday cake, and you treat us like this."

Hearing the birthday cake, Lu Lin immediately sat up. "What?"

"Why, I heard that the temptation to eat is so great?"

"How do you know it's my birthday?"

"Do you think everyone is as stupid as you? It was written on the student information form back then."

"So...that's it..."

"Okay, get dressed and eat cake."

After Lu Lin got dressed, he raised his head to look at the things brought by his roommate.A cake packed in a golden paper box, which seems to be custom-made, a bottle of Sprite, a bottle of Coke and fruit oranges, several disposable paper cups, and a small light gray box.

"This cake is a three-layer large cake that was ordered a few days ago, so that we can all eat it. Of course, you will pay for it."

"Yes. Drinks and gifts are also deducted from your turnover."

"Hahaha……"

Putting up candles, singing birthday songs, making wishes, blowing out candles, cutting cakes, unwrapping presents... Lu Lin spent her 17th birthday amidst the laughter of everyone.He has never had so many people celebrate his birthday together, so he cherishes it all the more.

"Well, what is the wish you made this time?"

"Ah, yes..."

"How can you say what you wish? It won't work if you say it."

Lu Lin wants to say, my wish is actually very simple, nothing more than three.

My mother can live a good life. She can be admitted to an ideal university and have a good job to support her.That's all.

"Okay, come and eat the cake and see what we picked for you."

The three layers of dark chocolate cake are each layered in a slightly different color and have a different filling inside.The top layer is pudding, the second layer is cream, and the third layer is fresh raspberries and strawberries.The sweet cake is paired with a refreshing carbonated drink, and it will be finished in no time.

That night, Lu Lin slept very deeply, the tip of his tongue seemed to still have the sweet taste of the food just now, and even his saliva was fragrant.Coincidentally, they didn't mention the dance. It seemed that the only dormitory with lights on in this dormitory building was just an exception, and it was completely different from the students dancing in the ballroom.

The theme of tonight is just Lu Lin's birthday.

In fact, Lu Lin's classmates knew more or less about his family, which can be guessed.As a roommate, you will care more about him.So this time the expenses for helping him celebrate his birthday were all paid by aa. It was just a joke to say that everything was deducted from Lu Lin's turnover.

Students who can come to this high school are considered elites, and no one cares about their own future.Lu Lin's roommate never mentioned anything about his competition in front of him, and it was also because he wanted to help him, lest he would feel ashamed.

It's easy to care about someone, but it's hard to care about someone in a subtle and real way.

Lu Lin went to bed at ten o'clock, because he wanted to relax properly on his birthday, and the voices of other people were also lowered as much as possible.At this time, in the school auditorium, there were still many students dancing back and forth, including Qiu Yu and Ling Xinyu.

Ling Xinyu was wearing a big red dark V evening dress, black gold fringed boots, sitting with her hands folded on her knees.People who wanted to invite her to dance were indispensable. Qiu Yu stood beside him, wondering what he was thinking.

The people next to her were always changing and changing, but none of them succeeded.Seeing Qiu Yu approaching the edge of impatience, Ling Xinyu got up slowly and invited him to dance.

Qiu Yu's voice was low and hoarse, his eyes were dark, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, you know?"

"know."

"I don't like it very much."

"The reason why I asked you to wait is to give others a chance."

"Go back after dancing, don't be too late."

"Ah."

After that, Qiu Yu took Ling Xinyu's hand and started to walk. Ling Xinyu was as happy as a little girl who had eaten honey, and a blush appeared on her face.

New Year's Day arrived not many days after Christmas, Lu Lin returned home, thinking of every frame of last year.How he let himself out, and how he tricked himself into the house.

Everything is still fresh in my memory, as if it happened just yesterday.

When Hua Rou returned home, she found her son sitting at the desk in a daze, so she teased, "Son, which little girl are you thinking about?"

"Mom, it's nothing!"

"The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, so invite her to our house to play some other day."

"I'm telling you no!" Lu Lin couldn't argue, after all, a 17-year-old boy was in a daze either thinking about something or thinking about spring.

"It's normal to be shy."

"I won't tell you, let's cook, I'm hungry."

"You child, your mother is going to eat without even asking, it's really a waste of money." Hua Rou gave Lu Lin a white look, and walked to the kitchen.

Mother is like this, no matter what the child becomes, she remains the same.

Lu Lin collapsed on the bed, covered his eyes with his hands, and guessed what Qiu Yu would be doing now.Probably the same thing that happened to Ling Xinyu and myself?Also boring.

I hope that next year will be a new beginning, that I can keep up with Qiu Yu's footsteps, and drive Ling Xinyu away from him... Lu Lin got motivated and got out of bed, took out the homework in his schoolbag and started to do it.Not long after, there was a scent coming from the kitchen, followed by Hua Rou's voice calling for dinner.

There is a large white porcelain bowl on the dining table, which contains West Lake beef soup decorated with red pepper and green onion. The light brown minced beef and white egg flower floating in the thick soup are very attractive.Hua Rou also made fried vegetables and a large plate of dumplings.

"Are you eating dumplings today?"

"Yes, I saw a girl selling freshly made dumplings in the vegetable market, so I bought a few boxes to try."

"Anything like this?"

"The girl heard that she found something wrong with her in-law's family when she married to Taiwan. Now that she comes back to earn money through handicrafts, it's not bad. She said her dumplings are authentic Northeast flavor, come and try."

Lu Lin randomly picked one up, bit into it and found that it was slightly spicy sour cabbage and pork stuffing, his appetite was immediately whetted.

The food on the table was quickly swept away, Lu Lin fell comfortably on the chair and chatted with Huarou, talking about interesting things that happened in school.

"Did you know? My roommates helped me celebrate my birthday this year... I bought it... and..." The timeline went back to Christmas not long ago, and Lu Lin talked about this happy birthday to Hua Rou with joy. , How and how happy I am.I didn't find the unnatural look on my mother's face at all.

"Oh, really? Just be happy, and have a good relationship with your classmates."

"Of course."

"If you have a chance, you should invite them back."

"definitely."

Hua Rou forced a smile and didn't say anything more.

Over the years, she owed Lu Lin too much.

"By the way, Mom, I signed up for the innovation competition. If this award gets a good ranking in March this year, I will have an admission letter from a good university!"

"So good? Then have you prepared well?"

"Of course there is. If you succeed, you can lighten your burden earlier!"

With a serious expression on her face, Huarou said, "Don't think about going to work every day now, just study hard. It doesn't matter if you fail the exam, there is still the college entrance exam anyway."

"I know, how many times have I said it."

"It's good to know."

After dinner, Lu Lin went to do his homework, and Hua Rou went to wash the dishes.He turned the pen to calculate the equations in his head, and at the same time he wrote and drew on the draft paper, and it was completed quickly.

Take a shower and get ready for bed.Lu Lin tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep.He watched the second hand of the watch next to the pillow pass by, and the ticking sound seemed to urge him to do that.Hua Rou had already fallen into a deep sleep, completely unaware of his son's situation.

In the end, Lu Lin couldn't bear to get out of bed to look at his phone. The time showed 23:39.He thought for a while, edited a text message, and found that there was no scheduled sending function, so he gritted his teeth and sent it.
