endless summer

In the classroom on Wednesday afternoon.

When the radio station held a meeting for the preparation of the campus singer competition, everyone was discussing in full swing.

Xia Yu was the only one sitting in the corner of the front row, looking down at the notebook on the table, turning the pen in his hand, not speaking.

Sitting a few rows behind, You Anlang couldn't help asking Senior Sister Xu who was passing by, "What's wrong with him?"

"I'm broken in love." Senior Sister Xu smiled.

"Really?" You Anlang lifted his spirits and sat up straight.

"Really." Senior Sister Xu laughed teasingly, "But why are you so happy when he broke up with you? Are you gloating?"

"No, no, not happy, not at all." You Anlang shook his head quickly.

But at night, he rode his bicycle back to the dormitory from the library. When he passed the seventh building, he involuntarily stopped by the flower bed and looked upstairs.

It was nearly eleven o'clock, most of the students were in the dormitory, and most of the lights were on.

Xia Yu was also in the dormitory, opening the closet and folding clothes.

"Someone is singing downstairs!"

Suddenly, the roommate Luo Di, who was sitting at the desk and playing computer, snapped off his earphones and said, at the same time, he ran to the balcony like a gust of wind.

"Huh?" Xia Yu put the folded clothes into the cabinet, holding the cabinet door with her hand, and saw Luo Di jumping on the balcony railing and looking down.

There was singing from downstairs, it was quiet at night, a boy sang a cappella between the seventh and eighth buildings——

Where is the rainbow telling me, can you give me back my wish.

Why is the sky so quiet and all the clouds come to me.

……

Maybe time is an antidote and the poison I am taking right now.

how can I fall asleep without seeing your smile.

Your voice is so close, but I can't hug it.

From the boys' dormitory in the seventh building, people kept running to the balcony, applauding quickly, and shouting nicely.

The girls' dormitory in the eighth building opposite was full of boos and discussions, the voices were excited, and soon spread quickly with the balcony lights that were lit up one after another.

If you distinguish carefully, you can hear them discussing who is singing and for whom.

Many people stretched their necks to look down, but unfortunately the street lights by the flower bed were too weak, and they could only vaguely see the boy leaning on a bicycle, and his face was completely unclear.

After he sang the last sentence, after a second of silence, the audience burst into warm applause.

"Do it again!" A girl from the eighth building shouted.

"Confession! Confession!" Boys applauded and shouted on the balcony of the seventh dormitory.

But only saw the boy turn around without hesitation, get on his bicycle and leave.

After he left, the boys and girls in the two dormitories could not be calm for a long time, and some even had conversations across the air, and the conversations couldn't stop, and there was a faint tendency to develop into an on-site friendship.

"Damn it! Who is it? So romantic?" Rody shook his head and walked back to the dormitory from the balcony.

Xia Yu was silent for a moment, not knowing. "

"At this level, if you participate in this year's singer competition, you can win the championship directly, right?" Rody returned to his chair and sat down.

Xia Yu closed the closet door, sat down on the chair, lowered her head and smiled, "Maybe."

"Hey! Anyway, we'll know who he is by then! I just don't know which girl he sang to in the opposite dormitory? Their dormitory is probably overcrowded by now!" Luo Di turned to the computer and murmured while holding the mouse .

Xia Yu smiled, said nothing, and sat back in the chair to watch the computer.

The rabbit portrait in the lower right corner of the screen just flashed.

He clicked on it immediately——

"I miss you."

Seeing these words, he froze for a moment, and was about to reply when he saw the dialog box display:

"The other party withdrew a message."

The head of the rabbit went dark.

After thinking about it, Xia Yu sent a message:

"This Friday night, the final of our school's campus singer competition, are you coming?"

There was no reply for a long time, and he sent another one:

"I'll sing for you."

After 2 minutes, there was finally a reply, two messages:

"Do not listen."

"Unless you come to pick me up."

After You Anlang rode back to the dormitory, he took a shower and went to bed. He slept very soundly that night.

I was really happy, and I was so happy that I didn't finish my joy when I went to see the final of the singer competition on Friday night.

He sat alone in the back row, wearing a peaked cap, as a low-key audience.

When the first contestant finished singing, he was very appreciative of the venue and waved a fluorescent stick.

Then I suddenly became nervous because I saw the second contestant on stage.

The hostess suddenly became more talkative, and introduced with a smile that she was the deputy director of the school radio station.

Beside her, the handsome boy in blue and white trousers lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Okay, what does the director want to sing today?" the hostess asked him with a smile.

"A song I liked very much in high school," Xia Yu said, "I gave it to someone I have liked since then."

"Oh~" the hostess elongated her voice exaggeratedly, "Is this person here tonight?"

The audience in the audience began to discuss and look around, as if trying to find that person.

Xia Yu nodded and smiled, looked at a certain position in the first row, held the microphone and said softly, "Here we are."

As soon as the voice fell, the title of the song, "Present", was displayed on the big screen. At the same time, the silent MV was played, and the live accompaniment sounded.

In the MV, the young male singer is wearing bright yellow clothes, walking backwards and singing on the tree-lined road under the sun.

Taking a look at the MV, Xia Yu began to sing, with a clear and clean voice, and a gentle Cantonese pronunciation——

I understand that you want to visit Iceland to see snowflakes, but you have too little time, can you go ice skating?

Do you want to have a good time swimming in Greece without hope, and you can still find a beach with you for vacation.

……

Probably no matter how good a person is, there are shortcomings. If there is no tolerance, love does not need to develop.

Learn to live through sunny days, cloudy days and rainy days, and many troubles can be avoided.

……

I want to cherish the feelings in the present.

My most cherished relationship is right now.

At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause, and the big screen showed that Xia Yu had the second most votes in real time.

He put down the microphone, smiled and bowed to thank.

A girl in a pink dress came to the stage holding a bouquet of pink roses.

The hostess opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then quickly realized that she made fun of the two of them.

Under the stage, You Anlang withdrew his gaze, stretched out his hand to press down the brim of his hat, and couldn't help kicking the foot of the seat in front of him.

The girl in the front row frowned and turned her head.

You Anlang froze for a moment, "Sorry, I was careless."

The girl in the front row didn't say anything, she turned her head and continued to stand in the stands.

But there was a "puchi" laugh from beside him.

You Anlang turned his head and saw that the girl in the seat next to her was covering her mouth and looking at herself, trying to hold back a smile.

The girl has long black hair in a black dress, a fair and delicate face, and the corners of her eyes are raised with a smile.

You Anlang looked at her.

"Are you jealous?" The girl put down her hands and asked with a smile.

"..."

At this time, the third contestant came to the stage, which caused even louder cheers.

It is Yu Jiayue, who is currently the number one voter, a petite girl, wearing a white lace shirt and denim suspender skirt, she looks sweet and lovely.

Glancing at the stage, the girl reached out and pushed her long hair behind her ears, and spoke to You Anlang.

"My name is Tokika."

"A little familiar."

"I'm from Class A."

"Oh."

"Do you like that boy just now?"

"...Hey, why don't you be so direct."

The audience around them suddenly stood up and cheered, especially the one in front right.

The girl in the front row was not tall, and she jumped up to look, yelling incessantly, "Let me rely on me, the top two are the winners!"

"What's wrong?" You Anlang stood up after him, and saw a tall boy walk up to the stage from the crowd, took the microphone from the host, and sang a duet with the little girl.

"Yu Jiayue her boyfriend Huang Jiayuan came on stage." Shi Xia said.

"Are you jealous too?" You Anlang looked sideways at her.

"Yes." Shi Xia nodded.

You Anlang was surprised, "Why do you like that yellow?"

Shi Xia raised his eyebrows and smiled, "No, I like his girlfriend."

After she finished speaking, she turned her eyes back to the stage and added lightly: "She is my best friend."

"……Oh."

After Yu Jiayue finished singing, the host began to introduce the next contestant, and all the audience sat down again.

After sitting down, Shixia folded his arms, lowered his head, and remained silent.

You Anlang took off his peaked cap and played with it in his hand.

After a while, You Anlang said, "They broke up originally."

Shi Xia's spirit lifted, "When?"

You Anlang said, "Just a few days ago."

Shi Xia sneered, "You just believe it?"

You Anlang blinked, "Huh?"

Shi Xia looked sympathetically, "Couples often break up a hundred or eighty times and still stay together! Especially the breakups that girls say are all lies. You are stupid to believe it."

"……how do you know?"

Shi Xia looked at the front row, and sighed, "Look at You Jiayue and Huang Jiayuan, every time she broke up with me and scolded him bloody, the next day she got tired of being like Siamese twins again. We are together! And he blamed me for speaking ill of him in turn. Later, the number of times became too many, and I simply didn’t say anything. I was desperate.”

You Anlang was speechless.

Shi Xia turned his head to look at him, with a look of lovelessness: "If this goes on, maybe they can grow old forever."

After the singing contest ended, the audience came out of the venue one after another.

On the school road, the dim street lamps illuminate the shadows of the trees, the night breeze is cool, and the voices of people are lively.

You Anlang and Shixia walked slowly side by side.

Suddenly, Tokia laughed and said, "If Yu Jiayue meets me later, I will say you are my boyfriend and see how she reacts."

You Anlang looked at her, "Will she believe it?"

Shi Xia smiled and lowered his head.

You Anlang unconsciously glanced to the right, meeting the eyes of the boy passing by.

It was Xia Yu, and his girlfriend was on the other side.

Xia Yu met his gaze inadvertently, froze for a moment, then turned away immediately.

"What are you looking at?" Shi Xia asked.

"No." You Anlang turned his head, facing Tokia, blocking her view.

Not long after, by the small road outside the dormitory.

You Anlang stopped by the street lamp and looked at Xia Yu who was coming from the direction of the square.

Xia Yu walked towards him at a slow pace, and stood in front of him with a slight smile on her face.

"She went back?" You Anlang asked softly.

"Yeah." Xia Yu nodded with a smile.

"Reconciled?" You Anlang asked again.

"Yeah." Xia Yu smiled and nodded again, "Was that your girlfriend just now?"

"Ah?" You Anlang looked surprised, and after a few seconds, he smiled, "Oh, yes."

Xia Yu showed a surprised expression, and soon smiled again, "Very beautiful, it matches you very well."

"Oh."

In the evening, in the dormitory.

You Anlang tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep, finally sat up, took out his phone and turned it on, it was almost two o'clock in the morning.

There was silence all around, and it was pitch black outside the window.

He sat on the bed and looked down at the WeChat page on his phone.

After looking at it for a long time, he pointed at Xia Yu's profile picture, typed two sentences, and sent them——

"It's not a girlfriend, it's just a girl from the next class."

"I just met tonight."

After sending out a long breath, he lay down and closed his eyes to sleep, but his ears paid attention to the reminder of the new news, but there was never any.

Finally fell asleep.

Then I didn't see Xia Yu for several days.

Day after day, I go to class, get out of class, eat, and sleep, and always look out of the window from time to time.

When I met Tokatsu in a professional class, we sat together and gradually became acquainted.

It wasn't until one day after PE class that he came out of the swimming pool that he suddenly saw Xia Yu standing under the eaves with a badminton racket.

It was raining again outside, You Anlang opened a big black umbrella, walked to him, and asked, "Is there no umbrella today?"

"Yeah." Seeing him, Xia Yu was taken aback and laughed.

"Where's your umbrella?"

"lost."

"I'll take you back." You Anlang said, grabbed his arm, forced him to open an umbrella, and walked out together.

Xia Yu didn't resist, and let him escort her all the way back to the dormitory.

You Anlang stood under the steps of his dormitory door, looked around, felt that the rain had eased, so he put away the umbrella and handed it to Xia Yu, saying, "Here." After a pause, he explained, "In case You go out later."

Before Xia Yu could react, he turned around and ran into the rain, and left.

Xia Yu was stunned for a while before going upstairs.

The next day when the sky cleared, he hurried to the supermarket to buy a new umbrella. At the same time, he carried You Anlang's umbrella in his schoolbag, thinking that he would return it to him as soon as he saw him.

I saw him again on Saturday evening, while waiting for the bus at the south gate of the school.

The bus was late, Xia Yu sat on the bench and kept looking down at her watch. It was almost too late to go to work at the magazine office at seven o'clock.

He stood up, walked to the side of the road, intending to hail a taxi, waved several times, but the passing cars didn't stop.

A beautiful white car stopped in front of him, he didn't care.

Until You Anlang opened the car door and stepped down, waved his hand in front of his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Where are you going? I'll see you off."

Xia Yu was startled.

The station was brightly lit. The boy in front of him was wearing a black shirt that he had never seen before. It was well tailored and made of first-class quality. Two buttons were undone at the neckline, revealing his white collarbone. He looked handsome and energetic, as if he had just finished a trip Date back.

"Where are you going?" Seeing Xia Yu in a daze, You Anlang asked again.

Xia Yu reported an address.

You Anlang opened the door of the passenger seat, "Come on."

There are not many people, the road is not blocked, and the car arrives at the destination quickly.

Xia Yu unbuckled her seat belt and glanced at her watch. It was ten minutes to seven o'clock.

"What time do you go back to school? I'll pick you up." You Anlang parked the car on the side of the road and turned to him.

"I'm a little hungry." Xia Yu said while sitting without getting out of the car immediately.

"Huh?" You Anlang looked at him with bright eyes, "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it."

"Can I eat whatever I want?" Xia Yu glanced at him with a smile on his face.

"As long as I can buy it." You Anlang nodded, "If I can't buy it, I will find a way to buy it."

Xia Yu looked at him without speaking.

"Hey, you don't want to eat bird's nest and shark's fin, do you?" You Anlang held the steering wheel, looked at him and smiled.

"I don't want to eat anything." Xia Yu lowered her head.

"Huh?" You Anlang was stunned.

"I'm not hungry either." Xia Yu said again.

You Anlang was even more stunned.

"I just want to know, why are you so nice to me?" Xia Yu raised her head and looked at him, "Why?"

"Because I want to be nice to you." You Anlang lowered his eyes and said softly.

"Why do you want to be nice to me?" Xia Yu asked again.

"Because I like you, I like you." You Anlang looked up at him, his eyes sparkling, "You know what kind of like you are."

Xia Yu sneered, and turned her head to look at the street outside the car window, "People like me are everywhere on the street, what do you like?"

"Yes." You Anlang looked at Xia Yu's profile under the soft light.

Xia Yu laughed again, turned to look at him, and said softly, "Why do you like me?"

"I don't know. I liked you the first time I saw you, and I'm happy every time I see you. I miss you when I don't see you. Anyway, I just like you." You Anlang lowered his head and said in one breath.

Xia Yu sighed, "It's useless if you like me, I just treat you as a friend. To be clear, I hope you will stop having unrealistic fantasies about me, otherwise, you will only be disappointed."

You Anlang looked up at him, his dark eyes gleamed with water, as if tears would fall at any moment, but he pressed his lips tightly to hold back.

Xia Yu glanced at him and smiled faintly, "If you don't want to live in a dormitory, you can directly ask the teacher to change a single room, or you can live at home. If you are in a hurry, you can directly take a taxi, or drive your own car...you can do whatever you like, but I no."

After a pause, he added: "You don't need to care about other people's opinions, but I can't. And I have a girlfriend."

"I can't say no to you." You Anlang looked at him, "I don't want you to respond to me, I just want to see you often. No matter what, I won't change my mind."

"I'm going to be late, I'm leaving." Xia Yu opened the car door, got out of the car, and walked into the building.
