The Guoan Club contacted these young players at school to prepare for the second round of trial training.

This time, without waiting for his parents to object, Zhou Yao politely declined the invitation for the youth team's trial training on the phone.He gave up this opportunity, and he is not in the mood to try out now.

Zhou Yao took the initiative to have a heart-to-heart talk with his mother, and made a promise: he would study his homework carefully, get into the best university, and definitely get into Tsinghua University.

For himself, but also for him and Qu Jia.

His mother nodded: "We didn't force you not to play football, but respected your ideas and interests, and let you make your own choices. You know what is the right way and how to choose. You are also My lord, I have a special idea in my heart, we will not go against your idea easily, but there is a limit to everything, I believe you can grasp the direction you should go."

Every sentence is clicked to the end, just to beat him.

Later, I heard that his buddy Pan Fei also gave up the second round of trial training, gave up the path of professional players, and returned to classes and exams obediently.

He is also a sports student on the school team, and Pan Fei's family situation is different from Zhou Yao's. His grades are not good, and he has money to rely on.Therefore, for a boy like Pan Fei whose family conditions are superior, his parents must be reluctant to let him engage in sports. Playing football is just spending the spare money at home to play tickets. people.

Zhou Yao had already thought at that time that Pan Fei would definitely go abroad after finishing the college entrance examination.

It's been another year, and the closest friends of their teenage years have finally reached an important crossroads in their lives.There are many forks at the intersection. Some people want to go east, some go west, some stay where they are, and some stride forward.

However, the atmosphere on campus suddenly went wrong.

The sky seemed to be overcast all of a sudden, covered with a layer of dust, and the gravel scraped on their faces could hurt their faces.

During the whole math class, Qu Jia didn't even glance at Zhou Yao. He obviously didn't understand the explanation of the formula on the blackboard, but he didn't respond to Zhou Yao's suggestive eyes as he turned his pen.

As soon as the get out of class bell rang, Qu Jia got up, put his trousers in his pocket, and walked indifferently to the toilet outside the building.

The girls' toilet has been expanded, occupying two rooms inside the building.The boys toilet was moved to a remote area outside the building.The disparity in treatment is too great, and you have to go to the grove to urinate.It is estimated that based on the opinions and insights of the school leaders at the time, they thought that boys would not encounter perverted harassment on campus, so they should go to the grove.

Zhou Yao grabbed Qu Jia on the road: "Hey."

Qu Jia suddenly withdrew his arm like a conditioned reflex, and broke his elbow out of Zhou Yao's grasp.

Qu Jia whispered, "Don't touch me."

Zhou Yao: "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Qu Jia looked around, "In school, don't make any moves in the future."

The two were silent for a few seconds, neither knowing what to say, they walked into the toilet one after the other with sullen heads, and after entering, one went left and the other went right.

Zhou Yao turned to the right and then turned back.There are all the big cubicles over there, but he wants to pee too.

He had no choice but to turn around again, not daring to stand beside Qu Jia, so he could only stand at the other end far away, bowing his head to untie his trousers.

Without squinting, Qu Jia pulled up his trousers and left. He just dawdled at the sink, washed his hands for a long time, and waited for Zhou Yao to take a step.

When Qu Jia washed his hands, he rolled up the cuffs of his hoodie jacket, allowing Zhou Yao to clearly see that they were still wearing their red string bracelets on their left wrists.A red line is on the beating pulse, very bright, like a blood line, echoing with the light blue meandering blood vessels on the arm, it seems to be alive and beating.

Qu Jia took a deep look at Zhou Yao.

Both of them shook their hands, and gently flicked the water droplets on each other's body.

……

After finishing the class in the afternoon, I started the boring self-study.Squad leader Xiao Zhou helped his head teacher run errands, carrying a large pile of exercise books and walking to the teacher's office building.

Exams from prestigious schools in Xicheng and Haidian were piled up all over the floor... The exercise books were piled up too high, and Zhou Yao accidentally scattered them, and the white pages of the books were all slapped on the ground like quicksilver!

Alas——Zhou Yao sighed in frustration, and got under the desk, tidying up in a hurry.

"It's nothing serious, take it easy, don't be distracted all the time." The old man, the teacher in charge of his class, was sitting next to him, comforting him slowly.

The office door slammed open, and the footsteps of women's wedge shoes came in like a gust of wind, and it was the voice of their grade director: "Come here to inform you, we will have a meeting later, in 10 minutes, the secretary and The vice-principals are here, hurry over there."

The old man snorted, just finished the meeting yesterday, why are these leaders having a meeting again?

The grade director is also fast-talking and can't get out of the way. He has this sharp mouth everywhere: "Isn't it the matter of the third-year student? The leader's opinion on how to deal with it has come out."

The old man asked, "What's going on?"

"Expulsion!" The grade director was so happy that he finally spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, "Actually, he should have been expelled a long time ago, so the student shouldn't be kept in our school, and he shouldn't have been admitted in the first place."

"It's not possible," the old man took a sip of weak tea, and said slowly, "You're still a student, what's the big deal, it's worth expulsion?"

"They are all detained and they will be held accountable. It's not a matter of honor to put them in any school." The grade director said in a loud voice, "You have been teaching in the classroom for a long time, and you only look at the grades? Don't you care about the long-standing problems of our students' ideological and moral qualities and style of work? The key is that the students' grades are not good, they are the ones who hinder the school and ruin the reputation of the school. That's all, those who are unique in the school and wear strange clothes Those who fight inside and outside the school, those who fall in love with each other, and those who talk about accidents and cause trouble for us, can we ignore it?..."

It can't be all blamed on the grade director's stubbornness and old-fashioned style. In a unit, the teachers are also in charge of each other, and they are self-sufficient.

As a subject teacher, all he cares about is the grades of the students in this subject.

However, an accident occurred in the school spirit and discipline, and the deans of each grade were the first to bear the brunt.Just like the last time the football team fought collectively, Qu Jia fought, she must have been criticized and affected, and she has to take responsibility for her position.

"I'm not talking about you. I won't name the 'big gods' in your class. There are those who have sex, and there are also those who make trouble on the court. Can you ignore it?!..." The grade director tapped his finger on the table, counting all the treasures, They all keep accounts in small books.

Zhou Yao was holding a stack of exercise books under the table, in a kneeling position, forced to shrink into the narrow space, unable to lift his head, and knocked under the table when he raised his head.

Every word stabbed him in the chest.

There is already a sharp sword hanging above the head, and it is about to kill a certain two little monster monkeys...

He didn't dare to say a word, he could only huddle under the desk and couldn't get out, but his hands gradually became cold, trembling, and he couldn't breathe.

"The children are all simple, just take care of them, and they will be fine if they don't go out of the circle." The old man rolled his eyelids.

"Not enough to go out of the circle? Let's talk about that student, he and Ye Xiaobai in our grade. Do you think he can talk to Ye Xiaobai? Why should he?" the grade director said loudly.

"Since the two children see each other, don't they like it." The old man spread his hands, "Why, later, insisted on calling him a hooligan? It's so ugly, what are you doing..."

"He likes? He, just, no, should, like, like." The grade director stood at the table, full of indignation, and wanted to explain the truth clearly, "If you like someone you shouldn't like, you know that you have graduated. It’s impossible to get into this school, and to take advantage of other girls, this is still playing hooligans!”

"What year is it? Go back five or sixty years, and the Republic of China is not like this." The old man clearly expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Your brains and ideas are still living in your bright and colorful Republic of China." There were too many words without speculation, and the grade director was very dissatisfied, "Your Republic of China was full of bourgeois Big cancer!"

"Leave room for people in everything. When dealing with a young man, you shouldn't be so vicious, as if you have to kill them all..." The old man shook his head.

It's a pity that he is alone and alone, and his speech has no weight. A piece of wind and frost has been cut down, and it is impossible to change any resolution.

"You should go to the meeting as soon as possible. The secretary will talk about this in detail later, and by the way, it will sound the alarm for all grades in high school." The grade director turned around and left.

"Go to the meeting, I'll just sit here and read a book, I won't listen." The old man snorted.

Anyway, when you get older, you can rely on the old to sell the old.

We have worked like this for 30 years, and the old guys who are about to retire have no decent ideology, and they are a big cancer of the petty bourgeoisie. In short, they will not be expelled from the school. Who will eat your way?

don't go.

Zhou Yao didn't even know how he crawled out from under the table.

He bit his lips tightly, just wanting to disappear in place and escape from this dimension. He was exhausted and uncomfortable, and he had never been so depressed and powerless.

Yes, it is powerless.

The first thing that comes to mind is Qu Jia.

I don't know how to tell Qu Jia, how can I comfort Jiajia, it's hard to accept...that's Tang Zheng!

The head teacher got up and closed the office door, then walked back slowly, bent down and glanced at the child, is he still there, isn't he frightened?So he dragged Zhou Yao out from under the desk.

Zhou Yao's face must have turned pale, and his concealment skills are still far from enough. The little monster monkey can't beat the old fairies with rich fighting experience.

The old man stretched out his hand and touched his head, with a hint of love and pampering, Hulu brushed his hair: "Oh...

"what's wrong?

"It's okay.

"Is that frightening?"

He messed up Zhou Yao's hair, and smoothed it out for him one by one.Touch his forehead again to make sure he doesn't have a fever.

Zhou Yao pursed his lips, feeling very wronged and didn't want to speak.

"Zhou Yao." The old man said, "It's okay, do what you should do, don't think about other things...it's nothing serious."

Zhou Yao subconsciously nodded in agreement, and was hugged by his homeroom teacher again and groaned.He also couldn't hide his excitement at the moment, and said, "Qu Jia missed half a class just now and went to run laps on the playground. He felt uncomfortable. He must have smoked for a few days. Don't criticize him."

The head teacher nodded: "Yeah."

Zhou Yao added: "Tang Zheng is his very steadfast friend."

The head teacher nodded again: "I know."

Zhou Yao's nose became sore, and his eyes were filled with water vapor.The old man leaned into his ear and said to him: "Be strong, too, it's nothing! Read your book steadily, and if you have any thoughts or wishes, you will have to wait until you are adults, your mind is settled, and you are in a hurry. Now, don’t listen to us old guys! Think about it when you walk out of this door in the future, not now.”

Zhou Yao was still a little unresponsive at the time.

Thinking back on this paragraph later, his class teacher knew that he was under the table.

But the old man didn't let the grade director shut up first, let him go out as a student, close the door and then talk about the resolution of the leadership meeting, the old man let him listen under the table.

Zhou Yao stood up straight, like an adult.The homeroom teacher is half a head shorter than him, quite short, but it is also a mountain in front of him that he can lean on.

The old man patted his shoulder, squeezed his shoulder several times, and then let go.

……

A few days later, the disciplinary decision of the school leaders spread throughout the campus, and the decision was made privately without holding a meeting to announce it or posting notices.

At that time, the teaching directors of all grades made repeated orders to prevent all students from discussing it, and kept silent about this matter, so that the impact and aftermath of this matter would pass quickly.

Therefore, in the cold autumn of Zhou Yao and Qu Jianian's second year of high school, Tang Zheng was given the last punishment due to some well-known but unspeakable reasons. Various bad records in the file were stacked up, and he was expelled from the school. .

Tang Zheng entered the game probably quite stubbornly, I don't know what he said to Ye Xiaobai's parents.He and Ye Xiaobai should both refuse to break up, so that this torrent that opened the gate finally came to an unpredictable ending.With Tang Zheng's family situation at that time, his arms couldn't twist his big thick legs, and against the forces of a family that was much stronger than him, it was like a mantis' arms being used as a car and being bombarded as cannon fodder.

Tang Zheng's father was a useless old trash, he didn't know where the gate of the yamen was if he wanted to ask someone to kowtow and beg for mercy, so he couldn't help his son.

Their family has no money, and they can't afford a penny, so they have no way to manage it.

With the school spirit and discipline of Chaoyang No. [-] Middle School, the teachers have always been too lazy to take care of it. They didn't expect to be picked up by someone with a heart, and they found fault in front of the school leaders.It was also a coincidence that the Education Bureau was planning to adjust the grading of some schools in the city to mention "key points", and Chaoyang No. [-] Middle School was among the candidates for the district's key points.Leaders have always paid the most attention to influence, lest something or someone would damage the reputation of the school, they made a hasty decision to expel a student under threat...

When a student is expelled from a regular school, there will be a record in the Education Bureau, and the student is usually arranged to enter a work-study school and return to re-education.

At that time, there were several work-study schools in Beijing, including those in Mentougou in the suburbs and Chaoyang District, which were dedicated to accepting such young people with a history of delinquency and crime.If the crime is not enough to go to jail and cannot stay in ordinary high school, then enter a work-study school; learn some labor skills and be assigned a job in the future.

But it is said that Tang Zheng refused to enter the work-study school at that time, so he did not go.

After leaving Chaoyang No. [-] Middle School, he didn't step into any school gate and disappeared for a while.

After Tang Zheng left, it was Ye Xiaobai who was thrown into the limelight.

For the next whole year, Ye Xiaobai was picked up by his family's special car to and from school every day, with the driver watching over him.Usually, there are female classmates who follow me every step of the way, and people follow me when I go to the bathroom.

This is not going to school, this is being locked in a cage.

There were rumors in the campus at the beginning, but no one mentioned it later.Ye Xiaobai's figure is obviously not "swollen" or anything. On the contrary, he is getting thinner and thinner, losing about a dozen catties, and has become a pale paper figure. blown away.

Ye Xiaobai also stopped talking to any boys. When walking on campus with his head held high, he would not speak even if he passed by Zhou Yao and Qu Jia.

Qu Jia also resumed the "lone wolf" mode of walking around alone in and out of class, with his schoolbag slung over his right shoulder, silent, riding out of the school gate alone on the clanging "28 Flying Pigeon".

Zhou Yao walked behind, watching the leaving figure from a distance, until he could no longer see the figure, and then turned into the carport to pick up the car.

On the back seat of his mountain bike, there was a piece of paper.

Zhou Yao quickly pulled out the piece of paper, unfolded it, and looked at it in the dim light of the carport.

It was a piece of straw paper used in math class, and one side of the paper was full of arithmetic formulas they had just learned.Open the inside, the paper is filled with his name in pencil.

distant……

Far away...far away...far away...far away...

The strokes of the pen were very deep, and a few strokes almost penetrated the back of the paper, making Zhou Yao's eyes suddenly hot.

Afterwards, Qu Jia stuck a piece of paper in the back seat of Zhou Yao's car almost every day.

Zhou Yao collects a piece of paper in the carport every day, and keeps the things Qu Jia wrote to him in his schoolbag like treasures.

I can no longer call out this name unscrupulously on the big playground, but this name is pierced through the skin and carved into the blood of the bone.It's the same whether you shout or not.

……

The weather forecast for that day said that there would be moderate rain, and it had been raining non-stop since noon, and finally turned into a heavy rain at night, and the roads in the whole city turned into rivers.

The underside of the overpass is like a vast ocean, the sewer is like a fountain, and the buses and cars under the bridge are all jammed together.When Zhou Yao’s mother came back, she lost her former elegance and her long wool skirt was wet, and she complained when she was changing shoes at the door: “These leather shoes are ruined, I can’t wear them anymore... and my pair Nice dress, so infuriating."

"Did you take a taxi?" Comrade Zhou said.

"I couldn't get a taxi on the way out of the college, and my umbrella was blown into the sky by the wind!" Yu Jingzhi said.

"Has Yaoyao come back yet?" The mother suddenly remembered.

"I'm back, don't worry." Old Comrade Zhou said, "It's raining so hard, don't go out again."

Yu Jingzhi opened the door a crack and saw Zhou Yao sitting at the desk reading with her own eyes, so she exited with confidence, and brought in a plate of cut fruits after a while.

Zhou Yao also glanced at his mother from the corner of his eye.

He spread out his books and exercise books and sat at the table for a long time.This kind of study is actually very inefficient. He didn't need it at first, and he really would rather use this time to help Qu Jia supplement mathematics and physics.It's a pity that the little abacus of making up lessons has come to nothing, and the two of them are almost cut off from each other.

He plugged in his headphones and listened to the tape.

On the outside of the tape was a sticker of Qi Qin, and on the inside of the tape was Qu Jia.

This is what Zhou Yao deliberately wanted for Qu Jia.He said: "There is no chance to chat now, and you don't want to call me again when you go home, so you just record a few songs for me, okay? I'll listen to whatever you sing."

After returning to school after a weekend, Qu Jia secretly stuffed this tape in his schoolbag.

Both the front and the back were recorded for him. Qu Jia played the guitar and recorded [-] songs. This is much more sincere than some singers who sell an album with only ten songs and two of which are repeated!

Picking Zhou Yao's favorite songs, the "title song" at the beginning of the tape is "I Do", and the ending is "iswear".

The dinner that night was simple and improvised, and Yu Jingzhi seemed to be absent-minded, so she cooked a few bags of quick-frozen dumplings from "Wanchai Wharf", cut up half-finished roasted ham, and fried it out of the pan to feed the father and son.

After dinner, Zhou Yao went downstairs to take out the trash, and came back to take off his coat.

This time, he left his pager in his coat pocket and forgot to take it into the room.

As a result, he didn't see this text message.

bibi—bibi—bibi—the pager was vibrating uneasily in the coat pocket, urgently.

At the beginning, there is only the paging number, and the content of the SMS is empty.

Then, finally, a text message popped up on the pager's screen: [I'm downstairs at your house, I want to see you, I'm waiting for you. 】

I don't know what was wrapped in the heavy rain, and with a gust of wind, it "slapped" on the window glass of Zhou Yao's kitchen. The sound was so loud that it almost cracked!Yu Jingzhi stared at the small print on the pager, then suddenly raised her head, and there was a violent storm outside the window!

The rain was heavy, and the sky was mixed with lightning and thunder, which made Yu Jingzhi feel frightened at that time, thinking that it was impossible to "come over" in such weather, right? ...is just insane.

She glanced at Zhou Yao's door, then at the pager, stood up and sat down, stood up and sat down, hesitated back and forth.

At that time, I was hesitant and entangled in all kinds of ways. I just deleted this article and pretended I didn’t see it. Let the kid downstairs wait. will leave; or...

Another thunder exploded in the sky, and Yu Jingzhi sighed.

It was also very uncomfortable in my heart. The mother couldn't bear it, put on the pair of muddy shoes again, walked out the door and turned around, grabbed Zhou Yao's coat...

That night, classmate Xiao Zhou lay on his bed and immersed himself in the music, listening to Qu Jia sing those old songs to him.

Old Comrade Zhou was reading and drinking coffee in the study.

Both the father and son took the sound of "crashing" rain as the background sound, and they were a little confused. They didn't realize where Zhou Yao's mother went downstairs.

Qu Jia came out of the subway station that evening, made a public phone call at the newsstand at the exit, and then rushed all the way downstairs to Zhou Yao's house.

I took an umbrella, but when I got out of the station, I was stunned and realized that I was so stupid that I left the umbrella in the subway car.

Absent-minded and absent-minded, his memory is rusted, and he is held by a thread, so he especially wants to see his distant side.The weather has changed, it's raining... Hugs, a few words, and kisses between the two of them outside the school are already very luxurious exchanges.

Many vehicles passed by at speed, and they did not slow down when they met pedestrians. The muddy water splashed on his legs, body, and even his face frantically.The heavy rain made his vision blurred, but his consciousness has never been so clear.

I went to look for Tang Zheng, but Tang Zheng no longer lives at home, it is said that he left home to live independently and worked outside to earn money.

So what if you want the prodigal son back?So what if it's reformed?Nobody intended to give him that chance from the start.

Because Tang Zheng liked someone who shouldn't be liked, the toad wanted to eat swan meat, he was not worthy.

And you, Qu Jia, also liked someone who shouldn't be liked, I'm afraid you didn't deserve it from the very beginning.

What if it doesn't match?

Just love it.

I have liked it for so long, like Yaoyao, we have been together for so long.

Are you willing?Want to let go?

Never reconciled, Qu Jia didn't want to give up, no matter what, he didn't want to let go of Zhou Yao.

But he is also afraid, and his heart is occasionally oppressed by deep fear, engulfed by a strong sense of inferiority hidden in the depths, and he can't breathe.

After waiting for a long time but no one came, he was so anxious that he turned back and searched for a public phone in the torrential rain. Finally, he found a phone booth by the side of the road, took out a few coins, called again, and let Zhou Yao come out.

But the person who came out was not Yuanyuan.

Yu Jingzhi was also drenched all over. She was wearing a rain cape when she went downstairs, holding an umbrella in her hand, fully armed from head to toe.But this kind of heavy rain, it's useless for you to come out with a plastic shed, because you will be completely wet when you see the sky.

The transparent hat of the poncho was blown into a mess by the wind, and the wet hair was sticking to the face in all directions, which was also very embarrassing.Yu Jingzhi raised her head and looked around, and the eyes of the two met for a moment.

Qu Jia was standing under a big tree, his face was covered with water, flowing down his browbones and temples.

He looked at Zhou Yao's mother, and then closed his eyes, letting the rain rush down his eyelashes. At that moment, he felt the pouring cold water pouring down his head and face... The relationship between him and Zhou Yao was over, right? .

Yu Jingzhi walked over slowly: "Huh?"

Qu Jia shook his head at Zhou Yao's mother, needless to say, took a few steps back, stepped on the water, turned around and wanted to leave.

Yu Jingzhi was also anxious, and almost threw her foot into the puddle, and shouted: "Qu Jia!!"

This child must have been frightened.

Yu Jingzhi walked over and handed Zhou Yao that waterproof jacket first. When talking in the rain, she shouted: "You put it on first!... Put on the raincoat before we talk!"

Qu Jia: "..."

Yu Jingzhi shouted: "How much rain is this, you just came out like this? Your mother is so worried about you... Yaoyao's raincoat, put it on before talking!"

Qu Jia was covered with a raincoat, although it didn't hinder much, at least his head would no longer be crazily watered by the rain.

Yu Jingzhi took a step closer: "Zhou Yao is reviewing homework at home and won't come out. The weather forecast says there will be thunderstorms, it's not safe for you to stand under the tree, you should go home quickly."

Qu Jia nodded, then shook his head, his lips were full of water.

Yu Jingzhi was really afraid that this stubborn boy might stand guard at the bottom of her house tonight, what should I do?Qu Jia can really do it.

Qu Jia spoke suddenly, his voice clear through the pouring rain: "You know about Tang Zheng being expelled from school."

"I..." Yu Jingzhi looked at the person, feeling very uncomfortable, and nodded frankly, "I know all about it."

He couldn't tell whether it was rain or what was running down his face, a glint of water appeared in Qu Jia's eyes, he raised his chin, and asked Zhou Yao's mother with all his dignity and pride: "Am I going to be fired next?"
