Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

Xu Minglang asked Zhou Xuerong: "Why do you play games for me?"

Zhou Xuerong's answer was: "Because it's really not easy for us to be together."

Yes, they spent almost all their courage in exchange for the chance to depend on each other for a lifetime.

It's just too easy to forget about it.

September 2008, 9.Xu Minglang will always remember that afternoon after school, all because of a movie ticket.

The playground was dyed golden by the setting sun, and the long shadows of the boys could be seen on the plastic running field. It was getting a bit cold in Beijing at this time, but this did not stop the boys from sweating recklessly, as if to The enthusiasm of a lifetime is overdrawn after school on Friday.

"Hey pass me the ball! This way!"

"I'll show you what you can do, I'll pass it on to you, but you can continue!"

"What do you mean?!"

"Yo, he's bad at the ball, so he's got a big temper."

"Say it again!"

"Say it a hundred times!!"

In front of the railings outside the playground, Xu Minglang was pushing his bicycle past. His ears had not yet healed because of his piercing. At this moment, he felt uncomfortable when he swelled up. Hearing these monkey-like noises was even more annoying. The playground yelled.

"Dong Mingchun is here!"

This person is the dean of their school. He always holds a small wooden stick in his hand. When he sees those with single-shoulder backpacks and those with unruly hairstyles and school uniforms, women will be "criticized and educated". sticks.

As soon as these words came out, the playground returned to silence in an instant, and for a while, only the sound of "tsk tsk" from the soles of sports shoes rubbing against the rubber floor could be heard.Except for the school team training, the rest of the basketball players took their bags and ran away, as if they saw the city management.The reason why the boys run so fast is because there is a recent selection of "urban excellent senior high schools". School spirit is also a great harm.

Every time Xu Minglang heard this bullshit theory under the flag-raising stage, he always wanted to drag Dong Mingchun down, and then take his wig away in front of the teachers and students of the whole school.But seeing how effective these words were, Xu Minglang was still a little dark in his heart.

A tall young man was walking towards him, also pushing a bicycle in his hand, and seeing Xu Minglang push the bell.

As soon as Xu Minglang raised his head again, he saw Zhou Xuerong under the camphor tree, wearing the black and white school uniform of No. [-] Middle School. The largest size fit him just right, but the trousers were obviously too short, revealing his bony ankles.

"Brother Lang!" Zhou Xuerong thought that Xu Minglang hadn't noticed him, so he yelled again.

"Hey! Here it is!" Xu Minglang pushed the cart and trotted for two steps.

Zhou Xuerong stayed where he was and took off the earphones, rolled them up carefully, and stuffed them into his trouser pocket together with the Walkman.A few simple movements made Xu Minglang's heart itch, and he couldn't tell what it was like, anyway, he felt that Zhou Xuerong was so special to his relatives, that he was different from other boys in every way.

His clothes are always clean, he treats people kindly, and uses things carefully, sometimes even more carefully than girls.The other boys wanted to hang in the public toilet, but he never swears, and if he hadn't grown to a size that could enter the NBA, he would look gentle.

"How many times have I told you, it takes so much effort to go home directly after school."

"No effort."

When Zhou Xuerong said this, he even glanced at Xu Minglang, but when Xu Minglang reacted, he only caught Zhou Xuerong's lowered head and a smile.

A very shy smile.

If other men dared to show such a smile to Xu Minglang, he would just kick him up, but if Zhou Xuerong did it, it would be a bit of a pleasure to bully men and women.Xu Minglang said that he didn't need to look for him, but in his heart he felt that it would be interesting for the two of them to go home, otherwise the journey would be boring.

Zhou Xuerong's high school is in the No. [-] Middle School two streets across, which is one of the best key high schools in the city. In terms of study, Xu Minglang can't compare with Zhou Xuerong. He only passed the high school entrance examination in the early [-]s, and finally fell in the seventh high school.There is nothing wrong with Qi Gao, except that Dong Mingchun's grandma is annoying, but the school uniform is too ugly.

The bright blue sack school uniform is fine, the school badge is still red embroidered, the school name is yellow, and three white stripes are placed on each side of the arms, making each of them look like a dragonfly captain.For this reason Xu Minglang felt that his youth was tarnished by this ugly thing more than once, which seriously lowered his appearance!

"Hey, is MP4 okay?" Xu Minglang was referring to the birthday present he gave Zhou Xuerong a while ago, the money he had saved for a long time.

"Well, good. Thank you bro."

Xu Minglang resisted the urge to rub Zhou Xuerong's head, it was time to pat him on the back, who made him grow so tall, as if he had been given hormones.

Passing People's Square on the way back, they walked around the Friendship Cinema and saw a bunch of posters stuck on the glass.

It happens that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are holidays, so I can go out to watch a movie with Zhou Xuerong... No, Xu Minglang suddenly remembered that Zhou Xuerong said that there was an English speech in the fourth week of school, and he needed to come to the school for a rehearsal on Saturday. Doesn't this count as tomorrow?

Forget it, let Yingying watch it, what is the name of the movie she wanted to watch last time...

"Brother want to watch a movie?"

"Yeah. Yingying said before that she wanted to see a movie called... I can't remember the name, but I think it was played by Zhou Xun."

It was rare for Zhou Xuerong not to answer the call, with his mouth pursed, looking for the poster through the glass window, even though he didn't know who Zhou Xun was.

"Is it a love movie?" Zhou Xuerong asked abruptly.

"It should be, hey, isn't that what the little girl likes." Xu Minglang found the poster, pointed at it and said, "That's the only thing I didn't run away from, the poster is quite scary, I'm going, I lost my face, it's called "" "Painted Skin"...is Xue Yingying the only one who likes to watch it?"

"Maybe it's not that one, Nuo, there's also Zhou Xun acting in it, it's called "Li Mi's Conjecture"."

The two posters are not far apart, but their styles are quite different. Xu Minglang compared them back and forth and confirmed that Xue Yingying was talking about "Li Mi's Conjecture".

"Zhou Xun is too energetic. Sa is just one word." Xu Minglang complained, pointing at the painted poster again, "If you look at this poster again, you won't even recognize Zhou Xun."

"I didn't know Zhou Xun in the first place." Zhou Xuerong lifted the brake and pushed forward.

"I'll go, no, you don't know Zhou Xun? Zhou Xun!" Xu Minglang pushed the cart and followed. "It would be a pity if you didn't know her. She is definitely the number one young actress in China's film industry today. She is beautiful in acting, and her gestures are so cool. Do you know that? People want to fall in love with her after seeing her."

Zhou Xuerong stopped suddenly: "What is Sa?"

Xu Minglang choked, because Zhou Xuerong only moved to the capital when he was ten years old, and he spoke with a southern accent two years ago. It's normal to not understand "Sa", but it's really difficult to explain the word.

"Frank, dare to love and hate."

"Sounds like Miss Yingying."

When Xu Minglang thought about it, it was indeed a little bit.

"Don't tell me, after such a reminder, I found that Yingying has a bit of sassy potential."

Zhou Xuerong ignored him, but Xu Minglang and him have been neighbors for many years, Zhou Xuerong sometimes feels like a girl with a little temper.Chase him and ask, but he doesn't speak, Xu Minglang can't stick a cold ass, and pushes the cart behind him in torment.

It was Zhou Xuerong who spoke first: "When will I watch it?"

"what?"

"Aren't you going to watch a movie with Xue Yingying?"

"Ah, I don't know yet. I can do whatever I want. It depends on what Yingying thinks."

When the two returned home that night, after dinner, Xu Minglang knocked on the door and asked Xue Yingying if she would go to see "Li Mi's Conjecture" on weekends.

Xue Yingying replied, "First, the movie I want to watch is called "Painted Skin". It's a costume romance movie. Second, I've already made an appointment with the class monitor to watch it. I'm sorry Qingming."

Xu Minglang raised his hand to knock her on the head, but Xue Yingying closed the door before that.

Xu Minglang turned his head and knocked on Zhou Xuerong's door again, this time it was not like usual, the door opened very slowly, and only opened a crack, there was no intention of letting Xu Minglang in and sit down.

Zhou Xuerong's gentle voice came from the crack of the door: "What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing. I just want to ask you if you have time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow..." Xu Minglang said this, and suddenly remembered that Zhou Xuerong had mentioned to himself before that there was an English speech contest in the middle of this Thursday. Participating in the rehearsal as a class representative on weekends, "It's all right, I suddenly remembered that there is still..."

The door was opened, and Zhou Xuerong deliberately lowered his neck so as not to be blocked by the door frame, he explained.

"My grandpa just fell asleep, come in and talk."

"Don't, let grandpa go to sleep, you go to bed early too, I have rehearsals on the weekend, I forgot about this, I just asked Yingying that she had an appointment to watch a movie, and it was "Painted Skin", I wanted to ask you with..."

"Okay."

Xu Minglang was stunned for a moment and said, "What about your size? What should I do to win honor for the class?"

"I was replaced."

It's changed...it shouldn't be, Zhou Xuerong is of mixed race, and his English pronunciation is also very good. Is there a second person who is more suitable for speaking in English?

"Why change you?"

"The class teacher said that I was too shy, and my brother also knows that this kind of speech competition is not only about the purity of the accent, but also the typhoon, attitude, and self-confidence."

"OK then."

Zhou Xuerong smiled and said, "Just go tomorrow and watch a movie."

Xu Minglang said "yes" several times, and returned to his room after making an appointment.

Zhou Xuerong watched Xu Minglang's back leave before closing the door, picked up the mobile phone in the drawer, called out the address book, and made a call.

"Hello, is this Mr. You? I'm sorry to disturb you so late. It's like this. I accidentally dropped my foot when I was moving something. I went to the clinic and said it was a broken bone. Let me go to the hospital tomorrow morning... .”

The next day the two made an appointment at 8 o'clock in the morning. It was suggested by Zhou Xuerong. He said that they were all in the same courtyard anyway. After washing and getting dressed in the morning, they would eat a pancake at the entrance together, and then ride to the cinema together. live.

Xu Minglang's plan to sleep in was disrupted. He was sleepy, and the white sweater he was wearing was crumpled. He pulled it out from under the bed, but fortunately it was clean and had no strange smell, so he put it on.

In the yard is the back of Grandpa Zhou watering the flowers, and Zhou Xuerong is still helping to move the soil.

"Morning, Grandpa."

Grandpa Zhou turned his head and smiled: "Qingming wakes up early."

"Hey, it's not your grandson who insists on getting up early to watch movies."

"Early to bed and early to rise is good for your health. Now that you are in high school, Xueer and the others are very busy at school, and you have less time to play. I always think about it. Study, those who don't like to study, work early, each has its own way of living, tell me."

Zhou Xuerong, who was on the side, saw the needle, unloaded the two bags of soil, turned around and waved to Xu Minglang: "Good morning."

Xu Minglang nodded, and took the car aside.Zhou Xuerong flushed his hands with the faucet in the yard, splashed the water on his face and neck, wiped it roughly with a towel, and pushed the car out of the door.

"Grandpa, I'm leaving!"

Grandpa Zhou nodded with his hands behind his back, watching the two children laughing and walking out of the doorway, until they disappeared from his sight.

He smiled and shook his head, flicking the dewdrops on the peony with his hands.
