An Accident in Broad Daylight

The New Year's Day holiday is only three days away, and the end of the term is approaching. Most students who are far away from home will not choose to make a trip at this time.Two days before the holiday, Cheng Xu had always looked sluggish.Xu Tangcheng went to the library with him to review, only to see him holding a pen, staring at the mobile phone on the side in a daze, occasionally when Xu Tangcheng said something to him, it took him a long time to push his glasses and reply: "ah ?”

"Why are you so absent-minded recently?" Xu Tangcheng lowered his voice, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Xu moved his lips slightly, but there was no sound.Finally, he shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Saying it was fine, Xu Tangcheng watched him transcribe the formula applicable under a certain condition to the problem with another condition, and after some derivation and calculation, he even solved a value of a.

Xu Tangcheng studied it for a while, and really felt that the logic of this problem-solving idea is amazing. Is this probably the ability of the first grade?

"Cheng Xu." He blinked and called Cheng Xu.

Cheng Xu looked up and looked at him.

"This a...is a parameter given in the title without a specific value."

"Ah..." Cheng Xu looked at his incomprehensible problem-solving process, and murmured, "The solution is wrong..."

"Don't look," Xu Tangcheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up, patted Cheng Xu's head, "Go, let's eat."

On the wide steps at the entrance of the library, Xu Tangcheng put one hand on Cheng Xu's shoulder, and with the other hand lifted Cheng Xu's chin, which was about to get stuck in his neck, and asked, "How do you spend New Year's Day?"

After hearing this, Cheng Xu stared at him blankly for a while, and then answered slowly, "I don't know."

Seeing him lower his head to check his phone again, Xu Tangcheng thought, who is this distraught man waiting for news?

At noon in winter, the sun can always give people the best enjoyment.From the library to the cafeteria, you will pass the main building of the school, and there is a large open space in front of the main building, except for a tall flagpole.Passing through here in summer is suffering, but in winter it becomes a pleasure.Xu Tangcheng was getting lazy from the sun, and the hand holding Cheng Xu became heavier and heavier.

"You weigh me down." Cheng Xu shrugged and complained.

"Classmate, although you go to school early, you are already 21."

This time, Cheng Xu didn't have the previous lukewarmness, and immediately replied: "23, jump up."

Not long ago, Xu Tangcheng was inadvertently ridiculed by his younger brother for his height. Now facing Cheng Xu who is shorter than him, he just feels comfortable getting along with him.He squeezed Cheng Xu's shoulder, and quickly pulled his hand up twice: "Okay, I won't pressure you anymore. If you have nothing to do on New Year's Day, come home with me, or you will be bored by yourself for another three days."

Cheng Xu started school early, so he was younger than his peers in the same grade.I don't know if it's because of this reason that he seems a bit out of group, but it's not that he is lonely, it's just that when he talks and does things, he always gives people the feeling that he is still a child.

"I'm not going, I..."

Just as Cheng Xu refused, the cell phone he had been holding on to suddenly rang.He stopped talking, paused, and then suddenly raised the phone.

In just a few seconds before and after, Xu Tangcheng watched the radiance appear on his face layer by layer, and then he gradually rushed towards the ashes.

During the meal, Cheng Xu picked up the broccoli on the plate, and asked Xu Tangcheng in a muffled voice if he could follow him home for New Year's Day.

"Okay, let's leave on the afternoon of the 29th." Xu Tangcheng gave him the big chicken drumsticks he had just bought on his plate, "You are very motion sick, right? Let's go back by train."

Xu Tangcheng never mentioned the phone call just now, nor did he ask Cheng Xu why he suddenly changed his decision. He asked Cheng Xu for his ID card, and in the afternoon he went to the North Railway Station to buy two tickets.

Since he bought the car, he hasn't taken the train home for a long time.Because it was a holiday, there were a lot of people in the car, and Cheng Xu's small body, which was following Xu Tangcheng, was squeezed crookedly, and his glasses were wiped off the bridge of his nose by a big burden, and almost fell to the ground.Xu Tangcheng looked back and immediately stretched out his hand to lift him in front of him, protected him with one hand, and pushed him inside.He arranged Cheng Xu to a seat by the window, opened the window, and told him to tell himself if he felt uncomfortable.

After the train started, Xu Tangcheng took Cheng Xu's cup and got up to get him hot water.But he didn't expect to be stopped by a female voice before he took two steps.He turned his head and saw a girl wearing a plaid coat and a thick scarf, smiling brightly.

Very smoothly, he matched her with a name in his mind.

"It's really you! I looked like you just now, but I didn't dare to recognize you." The girl waved at him, "Long time no see."

Xu Tangcheng nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Wan Zhi."

Although many years have passed, Wan Zhi's appearance has not changed much compared to when he was in junior high school, but his facial features have opened up a bit, and his appearance has become more graceful.

Those who sat with Wan Zhi that day were also some of Xu Tangcheng's junior high school classmates. Xu Tangcheng learned that they had just had a small gathering in Beijing, and then went home together. Then he remembered that Han Yin had asked him about today Is there time.This accidental meeting lasted until he got off the train. Xu Tangcheng pulled Cheng Xu, who was a little sluggish because of the train ride, and chatted with a few classmates at the same time.

After leaving the platform, Wan Zhi tiptoed to look at the cars parked in front of him, then turned his head and asked Xu Tangcheng with a smile, "How are you going back? My dad has come to pick me up. Let's take it home with you. It's quite cold today."

Xu Tangcheng smiled, and politely refused: "Thank you, but my friend can't do the car, and he is very motion sick."

Wan Zhi saw that the boy standing beside him was really not very good-looking, so he didn't force him anymore, and greeted Cheng Xu with concern.

"Wanzhi, take me back, I'll follow you along the way."

"How are you going..."

A sound of brakes interrupted the teasing and teasing of a group of people.Everyone was silent at the same time. No one understood what was going on, but they all looked at this handsome guy who suddenly appeared without saying a word in a tacit understanding.

Yi Zhe was still wearing his school uniform, and he put a long leg that Cheng Xu envied on the ground, looking fixedly at Xu Tangcheng.

"It's a holiday?" Xu Tangcheng asked him with a smile, not pursuing Yi Zhe's sudden appearance.

"Well," Yi Zhe was suddenly stared at by so many people, and he didn't know how to react. His eyes turned around and scanned everyone's faces, and finally leaned in Xu Tangcheng's direction, Touch Xu Tangcheng's backpack that belongs to Chengxu, "I'll help you get it."

At this time, a girl came to her senses, and asked Xu Tangcheng with some emotion: "Come to pick you up? My brother is too handsome."

A group of "elderly people" who have even bid farewell to college, looking at the familiar school uniforms in front of them, can't help but feel a little bit embarrassed.Riding a mountain bike, you must arch your back when you hold the handlebars. The boy's back is pressed against the school uniform, with a slight bulge in the middle, which is green and unique.A tall, pleasing-looking boy, it seems that every bone and every breath carries the word "youth".

Xu Tangcheng noticed the silence for a moment. He watched Yi Zhe hang his schoolbag on the handlebar as if no one was there, and then continued to look at himself. Finally, he laughed twice and turned to say goodbye to everyone.

Yi Zhe rode the bicycle at the same speed as walking, because the speed was too slow, he could only ride twisting for a while, and paddled for a while because he wanted to avoid people coming.Seeing that he was still only wearing a school uniform and a sweater in such weather, Xu Tangcheng said, "It will take a while to walk back. Are you cold? Just ride away first."

"not cold."

Cheng Xu, who was walking on the other side of Xu Tangcheng, had been secretly looking at Yi Zhe, from envying his height to his appearance.He couldn't help asking Xu Tangcheng: "Is this your brother?"

Xu Tangcheng nodded.Yi Zhe squeezed the brake a few times secretly, keeping his head down all the time, using the wheels of the car to press on the loose brick cracks on the ground.

"It's really high..."

Yi Zhe didn't hear Cheng Xu's voice, but he heard Xu Tangcheng laugh, and when he raised his head, he saw him put an arm on Cheng Xu's shoulder and rub Cheng Xu's head.

He frowned, then lowered his head and kept pinching the brakes.

"Why did you come to the sports car station?" Xu Tangcheng asked after laughing.

"Pick you up." Yi Zhe said, "I asked Tang Qi when you'll be back."

Picking up people by bike?It's really special.

"What can you do with me?"

I asked myself when I came back, and I went to the station to wait. It probably wasn't just because I was too happy to be on vacation.

But Yi Zhe, who was suddenly asked such a question, did not answer for a long time, seeing Cheng Xu tilted his head and looked at him curiously, Yi Zhe took out the hand that was in his pocket, and shook his head: "It's okay. "

"Really?" Xu Tangcheng didn't quite believe it, and reconfirmed with a questioning tone.

"Ah."

Suspiciously, Xu Tangcheng nodded, then suddenly thought of something, and said to Yi Zhe, "Oh, by the way, do you have a cell phone? Every time I see you, I forget about it. If you have a cell phone, give me the number. It’s also convenient to get in touch.”

Yi Zhe took two steps forward, turned his head towards him, and said hesitantly, "I don't have a mobile phone now."

The mobile phone is used to communicate with people, and he has almost never had such a need before.He looked at Xu Tangcheng: "Give me your number."

That night, Xu Tangcheng received two text messages from an unfamiliar number, one from Wan Zhi, the content was two short lines, telling him that she was Wan Zhi, and asked Han Yin for his mobile phone number, and at the end Added a smiley.

The other one is from Yi Zhe, and the content is more concise - "I am Yi Zhe."

Before the time entered 2008, Yi Zhe bought his first mobile phone and sent his first text message.

At night, he rode his bicycle fast, passing through the streets scattered with colored lights, passing the red lanterns with colored silk above his head.The street was full of people who came to take a walk and admire the lanterns. When Yi Zhe passed by them, he could hear their unscrupulous laughter and high-pitched conversations.But amazingly, for the first time, he felt that people's voices were not so loud, even without headphones, and the red lanterns with big "New Year's Day" written on them were not so ugly. This holiday, which meant nothing to him, suddenly became something he could bear, and even liked a little.

Everything that brought him to him should be classified as "good."This is Yi Zhe's most superficial and true understanding of the world.

The red bicycle passed through the city center, moving forward along the direction where the lights gradually dissipated. Gradually, the bustle went away, and the lights were no longer bright.

When approaching the arched doorway covered with a big downhill, a somewhat unfamiliar notification sound broke through the gradually blanketing silence.

At 18:52, sender: xtc.

"okay, got it."

It's downhill.

Yi Zhe held the phone and let go of the handlebar.When he swooped down at a crazy speed that seemed to be out of control, the brightness of the phone screen pierced the darkness, and the trajectory was turbulent and fierce.

Yi Zhe has done this action countless times, but it has never been as shocking as this time. His heartbeat was too violent, and he couldn't stop taking a deep breath.

It was a screech of brakes that ended the excitement.Yi Zhe put the phone back in his pocket, put his legs on the ground, leaned against the bushes, and looked back at the slope.

The SMS notification tone sounds for the second time.Yi Zhe was stunned for a moment, wondering if it was his auditory hallucination after sprinting.Then, he quickly put both hands into the pockets of his clothes.

There was a rustling sound, the right hand touched the cool mobile phone, but the left hand touched a neatly folded piece of paper - it was the report card of the entrance exam.

The phone screen lit up again.

"Have you bought a mobile phone yet?"
