Let me live [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 224 Graduation
----
The scorching sun at the end of June scorched the concrete floor, and there was no wind to blow the dry dust.Cicadas chirped non-stop in the shade of the trees, and the plastic track seemed to be melting in the sun, exuding a pungent smell.A few students couldn't help wiping the sweat that had slipped from their foreheads, separated and moved away sections of the stage used to take graduation photos on the playground, and stepped on many shiny fragments of ribbons that could not be cleaned cleanly on the ground.
The corridor in front of the third grade classroom was full of people, full of graduate students who had just taken their graduation photos and had not taken off their gowns. The railings were scorched by the sun, and some people were still lying on the top and looking at the playground below, uttering Some howling voices.Yuan Xiaoxiao's neck was dripping with sweat, and she was itchy from the poor-quality collar of her graduation gown. She struggled to squeeze through the crowd, looking for Lu You, and suddenly heard exaggerated cheers erupting from behind. .
"Relieved!!! Long live!"
"Damn, you guys are really here! My books and papers are given to my cousin...Xu Cheng! Give me a few copies!"
"Get ready everyone—three, two, one! Throw!"
Accompanied by the "crash clatter" sound of paper pages being flipped, scrolls and books full of handwriting were thrown into the air by many hands outstretched from the railing, scattered, fell, and fell to the ground one after another.The teacher who happened to pass by downstairs yelled "I will pick up anyone who throws it later" while evading in a hurry, but was completely overwhelmed by the laughter that broke out again upstairs.There was a girl leaning against the door holding a graduation certificate with a red cover in her hand. She had kept her head down before, and suddenly cried silently amidst the laughter.
Yuan Xiaoxiao wanted to walk over, but the girl's friend ran out of the classroom first and hugged her shoulder to comfort her.The people who squeezed back and forth pushed Yuan Xiaoxiao back and forth, and there were voices shouting at the top of their ears. Even though the air conditioner was turned on in the classroom and a few cool breezes blew from the open door, the crowd was still sultry. She wanted to scream like crazy.Lu You finished writing the wish message and contact information in the last classmate book to be filled out, and came out of the door shaking his sore hands, wanting to see what the classmates in the corridor were excited about, and was immediately caught by Yuan Xiaoxiao who had finally found him Grabbed, dragged and entered the classroom again.
"I'm so hot!" Yuan Xiaoxiao exclaimed.She didn't cherish the graduation certificate obtained after three years of hard work. She held the hard-shell certificate in her hand and used it as a fan. She didn't think it was cool enough, so she leaned in front of the air conditioner to blow it without fear of catching a cold.Their school also made a college entrance examination room this time. The countdown chalk writing on the upper right corner of the classroom blackboard was erased, and the time and precautions for the last exam were still kept in the middle of the blackboard.All personal belongings were removed before the examination room was set up, and the names and examination numbers of candidates from other schools were pasted on the corners of the desks. As a result, the whole classroom became extraordinarily neat and empty, bringing a strong sense of strangeness.
Lu You pulled Yuan Xiaoxiao away from the air-conditioning fan, lest she get another headache later.He had just had his hair cut yesterday, and took off his hat after taking graduation photos. His hair was a little messy, and he looked soft and easy to touch.After staying in the air-conditioned room for more than a quarter of an hour, the sweat from the heat in the sun was blown dry, and the electric fan was still turned on in the classroom, which made goose bumps appear on Lu You's arms.
"Come on, write one for me too..." Yuan Xiaoxiao saw the few homework books that had been filled out and piled up on the podium waiting for the master to pick them up. A few sheets of loose-leaf paper—she wasn't interested in the fancy binding of her classmates' recordings, so she wrote some titles on the paper in advance, and made contact information into stickers, so she would stick them on the notebook when someone asked for them.Lu You reluctantly took the paper and wrote down the information she could recite long ago. Yuan Xiaoxiao sneaked by the side to read other people's classmate records, making a very obscene "tsk tsk" sound from time to time—as if What gossip she didn't seem to know before.
Lu You was going to complete this commemorative ceremony seriously, but she couldn't take it seriously anymore, so she scribbled a few sentences and stuffed them into her hand, saying, "Okay." Yuan Xiaoxiao took it over, and his eyes went straight Going to the message area at the bottom, seeing Lu You wrote "I wish you a bright future and smooth sailing", he was speechless and said, "Isn't this too clichéd?"
"It's the good wishes that turn into clichés." Lu You said with a smile.Yuan Xiaoxiao pouted, and put the paper back into the binder.She has already received a large stack, and it seems that the thickness is not limited to the people in her class.Lu You took the address book that the class collectively filled out and printed out, and two that Xu Cheng in the front seat and class monitor Zhou Yuwen offered to give him. There were more than a dozen of them that he asked him to write. It's been said—it's estimated that he was included for the complete collection.
The noise in the corridor outside was slightly reduced. People who were going to wear graduation gowns to take a few more photos on campus began to move towards the stairs, and some people went home immediately.Lu You went back to the table to pack his schoolbag, followed Yuan Xiaoxiao to look around, and sat down on the table next to him. "The group of people in our class are going to have dinner in the afternoon, go to the secret room and board games, and go to the bar street in the evening, and we will not return all night today." She said, "Everyone is lively and lively, it is a coming-of-age ceremony...you have to go with me No?"
"Forget it. I don't know many people in your class." Lu You said, pretending not to hear Yuan Xiaoxiao muttering over there, "I don't know you in your class", and sent the previous teacher down. The college brochures and various scattered pages were put into the school bag, and when I pulled my hand back, I touched the satin surface of the graduation certificate, and felt a sense of regret that the classmates in the class would part ways from now on.But... He glanced at Yuan Xiaoxiao: If this guy's assessment score is not too far off, they will still stay in the same school for the next four years.
Lu You has already decided to go to T University: he has passed the self-enrollment before the college entrance examination, and has signed an agreement, and the college entrance examination score only needs to pass a line.Yuan Xiaoxiao's written test score was a little lower than his, so he passed the line and entered the interview, and finally signed a [-]-point reduction admission.For some reason, her mother, Zhou Chen, didn't seem to agree with Yuan Xiaoxiao's wish to go to T University like Lu You, so she didn't say anything after it was decided.The two of them performed quite stably in the exam this time, and it is estimated that even if there is no lower score for self-enrollment, they will still be able to pass the exam.
"Aren't you going?" Yuan Xiaoxiao still didn't give up, "Everyone just play casually together, this is the only time. Tell everyone in your class to come too. That Xu Cheng sitting in front of you? You and him always Do you know each other?"
"I have something to do in the afternoon." Lu You said helplessly, "The drama club will be performing "None Survived" the night after tomorrow. It will start this afternoon, and there will be a lot of people queuing up...I promised to help a few days ago." Speaking of this, he remembered something that he almost forgot, and hurriedly looked through his schoolbag. Fortunately, he carried everything in this bag, and found the ticket from the file folder, "Here, I I asked them in advance to ask for one, and they are going to give it to you. Do you want it?"
Yuan Xiaoxiao unceremoniously reached out and took it, "Just one ticket? What about you?"
"I've seen them rehearse several times, and I don't want to watch it again." Lu You said, "The weather forecast was rainy that day, and umbrellas and drinks were not allowed in the theater. I guess I will help watch things outside. Wait for you to see." After I came out, I happened to go to have supper with the people from the drama club."
"You are more familiar with those people in the university than your classmates." Yuan Xiaoxiao complained, but Lu You smiled embarrassedly, but failed to refute.He has followed Qi Zhengyun around T University since the summer vacation of his first year of high school. He met Qi Zhengyun's classmates and mentors, and he was taken by them to participate in various club activities for entertainment.Later, the homework burden became heavier and he had no time to play. He went to the library with Qi Zhengyun all day on weekends.
Yuan Xiaoxiao said it was "those people" in the university, but in fact, if he was familiar with it, it was Qi Zhengyun alone.After Lu You moved out of his original home, Yuan Xiaoxiao lost the time he spent walking to and from school with him every day. He had an unexplained hostility towards Qi Zhengyun. The people who came snatched it away, and Qi Zhengyun didn't like everything.She would not deliberately sow discord, but every time Lu You talked about things related to Qi Zhengyun, she put on an unhappy face, which made Lu You extremely helpless.
The main thing is that he doesn't seem to have anything that has nothing to do with Qi Zhengyun...
Seeing that Lu You didn't speak, Yuan Xiaoxiao raised his leg and kicked Lu You's table with the tip of his shoe.Her birthday was half a month earlier than Lu You's, so she didn't know how she could act so childishly in front of him. "What are you doing?" Lu You caught a fountain pen that almost fell off the edge of the table, and said dumbfoundedly, "I don't know a few people, and they graduated this year... Didn't you always talk about getting a pen?" Let me expand my contacts, don’t you always be bored by yourself? Now that I am active and you are not happy, what do you think you want?”
Yuan Xiaoxiao angrily kicked his desk again. "Go to your extended meeting - you obviously only stay with one person all day long. Others graduated this year, right? Well, Qi Zhengyun is the only one left. How can I remember that it was the same last year? The year before last Is it the same? I think he definitely did it on purpose, he just wants you to go to him for help when you encounter something...Why do you always think he is a good person so stupidly?"
Of course it was because Qi Zhengyun had indeed helped him a lot.Lu You didn't dare to utter this rebuttal, for fear that Yuan Xiaoxiao would fall into a frenzy.In fact, he still doesn't quite understand Yuan Xiaoxiao's logic of guarding against Qi Zhengyun: If Qi Zhengyun has been coaxing him to ask him to help with something, then there is indeed a problem, but in their current relationship mode, he is the one who "profits" People... Lu You raised this question to Yuan Xiaoxiao, but she was blocked back by her very firm sentence "Nothing to be courteous, either adultery or robbery".
Lu You has known Qi Zhengyun for more than two years, and Yuan Xiaoxiao has maintained her hostility tenaciously for the same long time, but he has never been able to persuade Lu You to believe that that person has other motives.According to the image interpreted by Yuan Xiaoxiao, a man is like a hunter lurking in the dark. The longer he hibernates and the more he pays, the more fruitful the final harvest will be.If such a hunter really exists, then he must have extremely terrifying planning and patience. It is so terrifying that even if the prey knows it in advance, it will be so frightened that its legs and feet will be weak and unable to escape.
However, in some moments, Lu You felt... He seemed to have guessed what Qi Zhengyun wanted.
but……
Lu You unconsciously lost his mind, and suddenly woke up after a while, and saw Yuan Xiaoxiao squinting his eyes, staring at him suspiciously.Lu You almost thought that his mind had been noticed by this girl who was really keen intuition and had known him since childhood, and it took a lot of effort to hold back his guilt and show restlessness.Fortunately, Yuan Xiaoxiao stared at him for a while, but couldn't see anything, so he let him go and returned to the original topic.
"Are you really not coming today?" She seemed to be really looking forward to this event planning, and she was really reluctant to give up. "If you have something to do in the afternoon, how about you come and meet us again in the evening? Bar Street! I have been curious for a long time I have never dared to go in when passing by before..."
"You dare to go in, but the store won't entertain you. Minors still want to go to bars?" Lu You smiled at her, and stood up while carrying her schoolbag on her shoulders. If you want to play, you can do whatever you want. If you don’t come back all night, just let me know in advance, I’m going to call back and complain to Aunt Zhou.”
Aunt Zhou was very strict with Yuan Xiaoxiao in this regard. She used to go out to wait on the road whenever she was late after school.Lu You guessed that Yuan Xiaoxiao didn't dare to be honest and asked a group of people to drink at night, he must have lied and said that he would sing K with his classmates or something.Sure enough, hearing what he said, Yuan Xiaoxiao's small face wrinkled, "Really, can't you get along with me once?" She glared at Lu You angrily, "It's a pity that I want to take you with me when I play. ..."
She stopped talking suddenly, and frowned, and after a few seconds, she showed an expression of sudden realization. "Finally realized?" Lu You kicked the leg of the table she was sitting on, making her move her legs blocking the aisle, "Your birthday is over, but mine hasn't yet—"
Yuan Xiaoxiao's mood seemed to improve all of a sudden. "If I remember correctly, it's only ten days away?" She said with a smile, "What a pity, what a pity...then there is really no other way, my sister has to go to play alone today." Lu You turned her head to avoid Yuan Xiaoxiao stretched out towards his head, seeming to want to pat his hand like a puppy, turned around and saw her mouthing "Lu~you~little~brother~brother~" mouth shape, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, to some extent he was convinced by this girl.
Yuan Xiaoxiao watched Lu You move sideways out of the corridor, then raised his hand towards her, mouthed "bye", and turned to leave the classroom door.She put her hands on her legs, propped her chin, and kicked her legs dangling in the much quieter classroom. Thinking of the schedule of activities for the rest of the day, which was obviously interesting before, she suddenly felt A little dull.
The changes in Lu You began before the summer vacation after the end of the first year of high school.After Yuan Xiaoxiao learned the ins and outs of the whole incident, he also felt that if Lu You had no one to take care of him, it would be better to be worried about by someone who didn't understand why he came back every day to face an empty house and cook by himself. Move to school dormitory.Therefore, even though she was reluctant to let Lu You move out, and she was not used to the strange tenant living next door, she still obediently did not express her objection—not that it would be useful if she objected.Lu You also seemed to have completed the accommodation procedures calmly and moved out from home; because his mother was always too busy to come back, the moving and renting were entrusted to an intermediary.
Several months after Lu You moved away, Yuan Xiaoxiao found out that Lu You had a big fight with his mother because of this matter.When I first heard about it, Yuan Xiaoxiao turned pale with fright, and disrespectfully guessed what kind of outrageous things Lu You's mother had done to provoke Lu You, who has always been a good baby, into a tantrum.However, her guesses were all in the direction of the new family formed by Lu You's mother. In the end, she learned that the cause of the quarrel was actually Lu You—he accepted to live in the school dormitory, but refused to accept it during the summer vacation. Live at the home of my mother and stepfather.
Lu You's mother was a rather irritable person. She repeatedly explained that her stepfather would definitely get along well with Lu You, but this time her son, who was always obedient, was particularly stubborn and refused to accept the arrangement, so she got angry.Because there is still some time before the summer vacation, Lu You moved into the dormitory as if nothing had happened on the surface, and his study and life were hardly affected, while arguing with his mother on the phone.It was the first time in his life that he disobeyed his parents, and he insisted on taking a step without retreating.
His mother later softened her attitude. First, she said that if Lu You really refused to live in his stepfather's house, he could stay in a hotel near his home after coming to their city; The monthly hotel, or the old house will not be rented, and I will come back to live at that time.But if he wanted to rent a house by himself during the summer vacation—although Lu You moved Qi Zhengyun out, saying that he would share the university dormitory with graduate students from T University—it was impossible anyway.Lu You refused to follow and took a step back.
After tossing and tossing until the summer vacation came, Lu You insisted on following his own plan.The relationship between the mother and son was on the verge of breaking down, and the mother stopped buying things and sent them back. The phone calls that were supposed to be made at least once a week, even if they were only superficially maintaining the family relationship, stopped.She was so angry that she even stopped her living expenses for two months, and only quietly recovered in the third month - but still no word was sent.
What made Yuan Xiaoxiao feel unbelievable was that Lu You's mother still didn't come back after arguing to such an extent.I would rather lose my temper on the phone every day than come back and have a face-to-face chat with my son who must have encountered something and changed his thinking.It doesn't feel like she puts her new family and business above Lu You completely: after all, she also proposed a plan to come back during the summer vacation.There is no summer vacation for doing business, and it was Lu You who disagreed with this proposal.
Yuan Xiaoxiao once heard her mother leak her words about Lu You's family situation before, revealing something that children should not have known.At that time, she still couldn't understand: it used to be a very loving family, and it wasn't because of domestic violence or cheating, how could a wife hate her husband so much that she couldn't face her children?If such a situation occurs, how severely will the person who was immersed in love before be traumatized, and how intense should his love and hatred be?After this incident, she began to believe a little, and for a long time afterwards, she looked at Lu You strangely, as if she wanted to see through his surface and see another personality that was deliberately hidden.
——If Lu You knew why Yuan Xiaoxiao treated him so strangely during that time, he would definitely complain for himself.He didn't deliberately hide anything: repression and concealment were different.It's just that this time the outbreak was extraordinarily violent, and he deliberately didn't stop it, so he behaved a little differently from usual.
Yuan Xiaoxiao didn't know another thing: in fact, when her mother suggested that she come back to accompany him during the summer vacation, Lu You almost agreed.His purpose is not to upset Mom, or force her to change her mind by breaking up.At that time, he almost forgot the "new life" he agreed to start with Qi Zhengyun, and he also forgot the first step to get rid of the influence of his family.At this time, his mother asked him a word.Mom asked him in a tone of implied irritation: "Are you satisfied now?"
Lu You didn't speak on the other end of the phone.That was the first time he hung up on a call when it was clearly not over yet.
It took several months for this mess to settle before Lu You could calmly review the choices he had made before.He realized that he had done something similar to his father: he chose to cut off and abandon him because he was not good at communicating and changing.Perhaps there is a little difference, that is, he has at least tried to express and understand...
Reluctantly, what he was facing was a wounded person who had been hurt before, so he was hysterical about the slightest touch.The step he took to correct himself, while freeing him from the shadow of his commitment, also directly severed that already fragile connection.It took Lu You a long time to slowly understand all these choices and all the consequences.There is no so-called ruthless person or beneficiary. In the end, it is just that people are driven by emotion to move forward involuntarily, leaving traces that cannot be changed along the way.
During that most fragile and confused time, Lu You got used to Qi Zhengyun being by his side as an emotional support, and took care of his life quietly.Like a patient swallowing subconsciously in a coma, he accepted the concern without even thinking about it.Then, in Qi Zhengyun's relaxed attitude that seemed so natural, he has maintained it until now.
If what he swallowed was the bait with the hook inside...
When Lu You was still a long way from the school gate, he saw the car waiting on the side of the road through the railing covered with flower vines.He unconsciously accelerated the speed under his feet, and the doubts that Yuan Xiaoxiao had said countless times before were revolving in his mind very clearly at this moment.The car's spotless rear bumper and exhaust pipe metal reflected the sun, and the dazzling reflection dazzled Lu You's eyes.
Fishhooks under the water.Lu You suddenly thought of this image.The power of brain thinking is so strong that a healthy person can kill himself with imaginary blood flow, so it’s no wonder that he feels a slight pull in the depths of his body as if being stabbed by a sharp object—what he brings is not pain, but It is a warning that the angler is about to reel in the line and drag the prey out of the water.
Lu You stopped walking, and stood on the side of the road as if he could not feel the heat of the sun.At this time, there were a few soft beeps from the car, accompanied by a few flashes of the rear lights, indicating that he had been seen.The weather was so hot that it made people crazy, Lu You felt sweat flowing down his neck and into his collar, he took another step, and walked towards the car as if he hadn't thought about anything.
The air conditioner in Qi Zhengyun's car was fully turned on, and the leather upholstery of the seats was light gray. Lu You climbed into the back seat and took the wet towel that Qi Zhengyun handed over to wipe off his sweat.Qi Zhengyun rarely wore a white shirt. His cuffs were rolled up to reveal a muscular forearm. His skin was a little tanned compared to two years ago. His fingers rested on the edge of the steering wheel. A wild handsomeness that makes people unable to take their eyes off and dare not approach at will.
Regardless of whether there is a third person traveling with him or not, the seat behind the driver's seat is Lu You's; there is a napkin box on the co-pilot's seat, a box that can be taken away at will, Qi Zhengyun is able to keep his expression on when someone wants a ride at a party Say "out of space" and hit the gas and drive away.Subtle details like this are everywhere in their relationship after careful consideration; Lu You feels that even if he sometimes uncontrollably thinks too much, it is definitely not only his own fault for pretending not to realize that he accepted these actions, but also the fault of his own. There is a part of Qi Zhengyun who always makes these actions at will.
Lu You wiped his face and neck with a wet towel, and felt that the area covered by his clothes was also soaked in sweat and sticky.He looked up at the rearview mirror, met Qi Zhengyun's eyes in the mirror, looked at each other for a few seconds, and then staggered away from each other.Lu You tugged on his collar, closed the lid of the wet tissue box, and handed it back to the front.Qi Zhengyun observed the road conditions before and after, stepped on the accelerator lightly, but before the car drove slowly, he turned his head and looked at Lu You inquiringly.
"Your birthday is next Wednesday, isn't it?" the man asked, "That day... no, you should be free that week, right?"
birthday.After crossing this timeline, you are an adult who can take responsibility for yourself.
Lu You seemed to hear his heart beating wildly. "I'm very free this summer vacation." He tried to pretend to be casual, "What's wrong?"
The scorching sun at the end of June scorched the concrete floor, and there was no wind to blow the dry dust.Cicadas chirped non-stop in the shade of the trees, and the plastic track seemed to be melting in the sun, exuding a pungent smell.A few students couldn't help wiping the sweat that had slipped from their foreheads, separated and moved away sections of the stage used to take graduation photos on the playground, and stepped on many shiny fragments of ribbons that could not be cleaned cleanly on the ground.

"Damn, you guys are really here! My books and papers are given to my cousin...Xu Cheng! Give me a few copies!"
"Get ready everyone—three, two, one! Throw!"
Accompanied by the "crash clatter" sound of paper pages being flipped, scrolls and books full of handwriting were thrown into the air by many hands outstretched from the railing, scattered, fell, and fell to the ground one after another.The teacher who happened to pass by downstairs yelled "I will pick up anyone who throws it later" while evading in a hurry, but was completely overwhelmed by the laughter that broke out again upstairs.There was a girl leaning against the door holding a graduation certificate with a red cover in her hand.

She said, "Everyone is lively and lively, it is a coming-of-age ceremony...you have to go with me No?"

Seeing that Lu You didn't speak, Yuan Xiaoxiao raised his leg and kicked Lu You's table with the tip of his shoe.Her birthday was half a month earlier than Lu You's, so she didn't know how she could act so childishly in front of him. "What are you doing?" Lu You caught a fountain pen that almost fell off the edge of the table, and said dumbfoundedly, "I don't know a few people, and they graduated this year... Didn't you always talk about getting a pen?" Let me expand my contacts, don’t you always be bored by yourself? Now that I am active and you are not happy, what do you think you want?”
Yuan Xiaoxiao angrily kicked his desk again. "Go to your extended meeting - you obviously only stay with one person all day long. Others graduated this year, right? Well, Qi Zhengyun is the only one left. How can I remember that it was the same last year? The year before last Is it the same? I think he definitely did it on purpose, he just wants you to go to him for help when you encounter something...Why do you always think he is a good person so stupidly?"
Of course it was because Qi Zhengyun had indeed helped him a lot.Lu You didn't dare to utter this rebuttal, for fear that Yuan Xiaoxiao would fall into a frenzy.In fact, he still doesn't quite understand Yuan Xiaoxiao's logic of guarding against Qi Zhengyun: If Qi Zhengyun has been coaxing him to ask him to help with something, then there is indeed a problem, but in their current relationship mode, he is the one who "profits" People... Lu You raised this question to Yuan Xiaoxiao, but she was blocked back by her very firm sentence "Nothing to be courteous, either adultery or robbery".
Lu You has known Qi Zhengyun for more than two years, and Yuan Xiaoxiao has maintained her hostility tenaciously for the same long time, but he has never been able to persuade Lu You to believe that that person has other motives.According to the image interpreted by Yuan Xiaoxiao, a man is like a hunter lurking in the dark. The longer he hibernates and the more he pays, the more fruitful the final harvest will be.If such a hunter really exists, then he must have extremely terrifying planning and patience. It is so terrifying that even if the prey knows it in advance, it will be so frightened that its legs and feet will be weak and unable to escape.
However, in some moments, Lu You felt... He seemed to have guessed what Qi Zhengyun wanted.
but……
Lu You unconsciously lost his mind, and suddenly woke up after a while, and saw Yuan Xiaoxiao squinting his eyes, staring at him suspiciously.Lu You almost thought that his mind had been noticed by this girl who was really keen intuition and had known him since childhood, and it took a lot of effort to hold back his guilt and show restlessness.Fortunately, Yuan Xiaoxiao stared at him for a while, but couldn't see anything, so he let him go and returned to the original topic.
"Are you really not coming today?" She seemed to be really looking forward to this event planning, and she was really reluctant to give up. "If you have something to do in the afternoon, how about you come and meet us again in the evening? Bar Street! I have been curious for a long time I have never dared to go in when passing by before..."
"You dare to go in, but the store won't entertain you. Minors still want to go to bars?" Lu You smiled at her, and stood up while carrying her schoolbag on her shoulders. If you want to play, you can do whatever you want. If you don’t come back all night, just let me know in advance, I’m going to call back and complain to Aunt Zhou.”
Aunt Zhou was very strict with Yuan Xiaoxiao in this regard. She used to go out to wait on the road whenever she was late after school.Lu You guessed that Yuan Xiaoxiao didn't dare to be honest and asked a group of people to drink at night, he must have lied and said that he would sing K with his classmates or something.Sure enough, hearing what he said, Yuan Xiaoxiao's small face wrinkled, "Really, can't you get along with me once?" She glared at Lu You angrily, "It's a pity that I want to take you with me when I play. ..."
She stopped talking suddenly, and frowned, and after a few seconds, she showed an expression of sudden realization. "Finally realized?" Lu You kicked the leg of the table she was sitting on, making her move her legs blocking the aisle, "Your birthday is over, but mine hasn't yet—"
Yuan Xiaoxiao's mood seemed to improve all of a sudden. "If I remember correctly, it's only ten days away?" She said with a smile, "What a pity, what a pity...then there is really no other way, my sister has to go to play alone today." Lu You turned her head to avoid Yuan Xiaoxiao stretched out towards his head, seeming to want to pat his hand like a puppy, turned around and saw her mouthing "Lu~you~little~brother~brother~" mouth shape, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, to some extent he was convinced by this girl.
Yuan Xiaoxiao watched Lu You move sideways out of the corridor, then raised his hand towards her, mouthed "bye", and turned to leave the classroom door.She put her hands on her legs, propped her chin, and kicked her legs dangling in the much quieter classroom. Thinking of the schedule of activities for the rest of the day, which was obviously interesting before, she suddenly felt A little dull.
The changes in Lu You began before the summer vacation after the end of the first year of high school.After Yuan Xiaoxiao learned the ins and outs of the whole incident, he also felt that if Lu You had no one to take care of him, it would be better to be worried about by someone who didn't understand why he came back every day to face an empty house and cook by himself. Move to school dormitory.Therefore, even though she was reluctant to let Lu You move out, and she was not used to the strange tenant living next door, she still obediently did not express her objection—not that it would be useful if she objected.Lu You also seemed to have completed the accommodation procedures calmly and moved out from home; because his mother was always too busy to come back, the moving and renting were entrusted to an intermediary.
Several months after Lu You moved away, Yuan Xiaoxiao found out that Lu You had a big fight with his mother because of this matter.When I first heard about it, Yuan Xiaoxiao turned pale with fright, and disrespectfully guessed what kind of outrageous things Lu You's mother had done to provoke Lu You, who has always been a good baby, into a tantrum.However, her guesses were all in the direction of the new family formed by Lu You's mother. In the end, she learned that the cause of the quarrel was actually Lu You—he accepted to live in the school dormitory, but refused to accept it during the summer vacation. Live at the home of my mother and stepfather.
Lu You's mother was a rather irritable person. She repeatedly explained that her stepfather would definitely get along well with Lu You, but this time her son, who was always obedient, was particularly stubborn and refused to accept the arrangement, so she got angry.Because there is still some time before the summer vacation, Lu You moved into the dormitory as if nothing had happened on the surface, and his study and life were hardly affected, while arguing with his mother on the phone.It was the first time in his life that he disobeyed his parents, and he insisted on taking a step without retreating.
His mother later softened her attitude. First, she said that if Lu You really refused to live in his stepfather's house, he could stay in a hotel near his home after coming to their city; The monthly hotel, or the old house will not be rented, and I will come back to live at that time.But if he wanted to rent a house by himself during the summer vacation—although Lu You moved Qi Zhengyun out, saying that he would share the university dormitory with graduate students from T University—it was impossible anyway.Lu You refused to follow and took a step back.
After tossing and tossing until the summer vacation came, Lu You insisted on following his own plan.The relationship between the mother and son was on the verge of breaking down, and the mother stopped buying things and sent them back. The phone calls that were supposed to be made at least once a week, even if they were only superficially maintaining the family relationship, stopped.She was so angry that she even stopped her living expenses for two months, and only quietly recovered in the third month - but still no word was sent.
What made Yuan Xiaoxiao feel unbelievable was that Lu You's mother still didn't come back after arguing to such an extent.I would rather lose my temper on the phone every day than come back and have a face-to-face chat with my son who must have encountered something and changed his thinking.It doesn't feel like she puts her new family and business above Lu You completely: after all, she also proposed a plan to come back during the summer vacation.There is no summer vacation for doing business, and it was Lu You who disagreed with this proposal.
Yuan Xiaoxiao once heard her mother leak her words about Lu You's family situation before, revealing something that children should not have known.At that time, she still couldn't understand: it used to be a very loving family, and it wasn't because of domestic violence or cheating, how could a wife hate her husband so much that she couldn't face her children?If such a situation occurs, how severely will the person who was immersed in love before be traumatized, and how intense should his love and hatred be?After this incident, she began to believe a little, and for a long time afterwards, she looked at Lu You strangely, as if she wanted to see through his surface and see another personality that was deliberately hidden.
——If Lu You knew why Yuan Xiaoxiao treated him so strangely during that time, he would definitely complain for himself.He didn't deliberately hide anything: repression and concealment were different.It's just that this time the outbreak was extraordinarily violent, and he deliberately didn't stop it, so he behaved a little differently from usual.
Yuan Xiaoxiao didn't know another thing: in fact, when her mother suggested that she come back to accompany him during the summer vacation, Lu You almost agreed.His purpose is not to upset Mom, or force her to change her mind by breaking up.At that time, he almost forgot the "new life" he agreed to start with Qi Zhengyun, and he also forgot the first step to get rid of the influence of his family.At this time, his mother asked him a word.Mom asked him in a tone of implied irritation: "Are you satisfied now?"
Lu You didn't speak on the other end of the phone.That was the first time he hung up on a call when it was clearly not over yet.
It took several months for this mess to settle before Lu You could calmly review the choices he had made before.He realized that he had done something similar to his father: he chose to cut off and abandon him because he was not good at communicating and changing.Perhaps there is a little difference, that is, he has at least tried to express and understand...
Reluctantly, what he was facing was a wounded person who had been hurt before, so he was hysterical about the slightest touch.The step he took to correct himself, while freeing him from the shadow of his commitment, also directly severed that already fragile connection.It took Lu You a long time to slowly understand all these choices and all the consequences.There is no so-called ruthless person or beneficiary. In the end, it is just that people are driven by emotion to move forward involuntarily, leaving traces that cannot be changed along the way.
During that most fragile and confused time, Lu You got used to Qi Zhengyun being by his side as an emotional support, and took care of his life quietly.Like a patient swallowing subconsciously in a coma, he accepted the concern without even thinking about it.Then, in Qi Zhengyun's relaxed attitude that seemed so natural, he has maintained it until now.
If what he swallowed was the bait with the hook inside...
When Lu You was still a long way from the school gate, he saw the car waiting on the side of the road through the railing covered with flower vines.He unconsciously accelerated the speed under his feet, and the doubts that Yuan Xiaoxiao had said countless times before were revolving in his mind very clearly at this moment.The car's spotless rear bumper and exhaust pipe metal reflected the sun, and the dazzling reflection dazzled Lu You's eyes.
Fishhooks under the water.Lu You suddenly thought of this image.The power of brain thinking is so strong that a healthy person can kill himself with imaginary blood flow, so it’s no wonder that he feels a slight pull in the depths of his body as if being stabbed by a sharp object—what he brings is not pain, but It is a warning that the angler is about to reel in the line and drag the prey out of the water.
Lu You stopped walking, and stood on the side of the road as if he could not feel the heat of the sun.At this time, there were a few soft beeps from the car, accompanied by a few flashes of the rear lights, indicating that he had been seen.The weather was so hot that it made people crazy, Lu You felt sweat flowing down his neck and into his collar, he took another step, and walked towards the car as if he hadn't thought about anything.
The air conditioner in Qi Zhengyun's car was fully turned on, and the leather upholstery of the seats was light gray. Lu You climbed into the back seat and took the wet towel that Qi Zhengyun handed over to wipe off his sweat.Qi Zhengyun rarely wore a white shirt. His cuffs were rolled up to reveal a muscular forearm. His skin was a little tanned compared to two years ago. His fingers rested on the edge of the steering wheel. A wild handsomeness that makes people unable to take their eyes off and dare not approach at will.
Regardless of whether there is a third person traveling with him or not, the seat behind the driver's seat is Lu You's; there is a napkin box on the co-pilot's seat, a box that can be taken away at will, Qi Zhengyun is able to keep his expression on when someone wants a ride at a party Say "out of space" and hit the gas and drive away.Subtle details like this are everywhere in their relationship after careful consideration; Lu You feels that even if he sometimes uncontrollably thinks too much, it is definitely not only his own fault for pretending not to realize that he accepted these actions, but also the fault of his own. There is a part of Qi Zhengyun who always makes these actions at will.
Lu You wiped his face and neck with a wet towel, and felt that the area covered by his clothes was also soaked in sweat and sticky.He looked up at the rearview mirror, met Qi Zhengyun's eyes in the mirror, looked at each other for a few seconds, and then staggered away from each other.Lu You tugged on his collar, closed the lid of the wet tissue box, and handed it back to the front.Qi Zhengyun observed the road conditions before and after, stepped on the accelerator lightly, but before the car drove slowly, he turned his head and looked at Lu You inquiringly.
"Your birthday is next Wednesday, isn't it?" the man asked, "That day... no, you should be free that week, right?"
birthday.After crossing this timeline, you are an adult who can take responsibility for yourself.
Lu You seemed to hear his heart beating wildly. "I'm very free this summer vacation." He tried to pretend to be casual, "What's wrong?"
