summer and roses

On Saturday, December 12, there was a sleet in the southern city. It is said that the last time was five years ago.

On this day of self-study, all the teachers in the department hid in the air-conditioned office to keep warm. Only a group of southern children who had never seen snow were so rare that they couldn't wait to rush into the damp and cold environment.

Mu Xia was lying in the corridor, watching a group of people in front of the teaching building jumping up and down like fools, chatting with Ye Chuan on their mobile phones-they recently reconnected, the school he studied in City B divided arts and sciences, Ye Chuan was forced to I devoted myself to science, and was abused for nearly a semester so that I couldn't take care of myself.

"Are you in a relationship?" Ye Chuan's unbelievable voice almost shattered Mucha's eardrums. He quietly took the phone away from him, and heard him continue to scream, "Awesome, big brother! How long? Take it?"

"It didn't take long, he was very nice."

Ye Chuan booed from thousands of miles away: "Awesome, he is so nice... Oh, my teeth are going to be crooked because of your tired tone. How about it, do you have a photo, I want to see who can clean you up, but It’s really eliminating harm for the people.”

"You're still fucking killing harm for the people, get out of here." Mucha was ruthless, and then changed the subject, "Don't just talk about me, how are you doing recently, have you reconciled with that little one?"

Ye Chuan: "Nothing. The silly girl is greedy for studies and thinks I'm delaying her. But we didn't get any points. She said that after the college entrance examination, we'll stay in the local school and we'll be together. The girl is going to be admitted to Peking University."

Mucha teased him: "Before I told me that being in love is not necessary, but now I'm disconnected again."

"What's the matter, suddenly the feeling came again, I really have to rely on her!" Ye Chuan was proud, "She said that, and I can't be like before, so that in the future, others will think it's true. It’s not good for the girl to fall in love with me only when she was blind—the temperature has dropped recently, are you still used to it there?”

"It's snowing today." Mucha stretched out his hand to catch it, but his palm was only covered with cold rain, "They seem to be very happy."

Ye Chuan: "It can be imagined, I still remember the big horse you fell on the ice last year, you are from the south!"

"Shut up." Thinking of Ye Chuan taking pictures of her heroic figure a year ago and uploading it to the cloud disk for permanent preservation, Mu Xia wished she could drag the tall and tall northern boy out of the phone and beat him up. Just as he was about to say something, Yu Guang I caught a glimpse of Youyou coming from the stairs, and said to the phone, "He is coming, don't you want to talk to him?"

It took only a few seconds for Ye Chuan to realize who Mu Xia was talking about, and only then did he taunt Mu Xia that he was at his fingertips. Now that he wanted to have a direct conversation with the person involved, Ye Chuan was timid again: "Don't, let's meet directly when we have a chance in the future."

Mucha smiled and said, "Promise!" After exchanging a few pleasantries, he hung up and put away his phone.

"You are really brave, you dare to play with your mobile phone in the teaching area." You Yi saw his movements, and Xue Muxia was also lying on the side corridor in the same posture, "Whose phone is it?"

"My former classmate, I was more talkative with him. At that time he wanted to introduce me to a girlfriend. I was anxious, so I came out in front of him, which scared him a lot." Mucha buried her head in her head. , I think that at this time, I should light a cigarette to conform to the vicissitudes of life in his words, but it is a pity that people come and go.

The sound of romping could penetrate the gray sky, and Meng actually waved and called Youyou's name from below. Youyou cooperated very well and shot him, and the other party walked out a few steps unsteadily after being shot.

This farce was a bit brilliant, Mu Xia laughed along with You Yi, and pointed at Meng Ran: "What a treasure."

"Yeah." You Yi picked up the hood of his coat and put it on his head, the wind made his head hurt, "What happened after you came out? Your classmates didn't dislike you, and they still have contact with you now?"

Mucha: "Ah, the kids in big cities are more open about this. Besides, it doesn't bother him."

You Yi didn't know whether it was from the heart or casually said: "That's great."

He might have thought of Xu Wenke's cold violence, Mu Xia rubbed Youyou's head casually, and through the down jacket hat: "I have time to introduce you two, he is quite... Interested in you."

You Yi: "Oh?"

Thinking of Ye Chuan's evaluation of him, Mu Xia's face changed, and he still said honestly: "He said that the two of us are together, and you are doing charity and eliminating harm for the people."

As soon as this four-character word came out, it was as if the power of Youyue's vocabulary was cut off for a moment, and I couldn't believe it meant what I thought it meant.He looked at Mucha's expression and decided he heard it right. He almost couldn't breathe with laughter. He patted Mucha's shoulder, opened his mouth and hiccupped first: "You... well, what kind of image did you have in the past? Harmful!"

"No, there were quite a lot of little girls in school who liked me at that time." Mu Xia's face was a little red from his smile, but he didn't pant when he spoke, shamelessly, "Well, you made money, you know?"

You Yi patted the railing: "I know, I know, hahahahaha, I laughed so hard!"

Mucha raised his hand to hit someone, You Yi hurried to hide, turned his head and almost bumped into someone.He braked halfway with an "Ouch", sprained his ankle, rubbed his ankle and was about to cry out for pain, but when he saw the unlucky guy clearly, he didn't even have to curse.

Lucky Cat stood in the corridor and looked at them with a smile. Youyou stood up straight. Although there were still no rules, he was obviously more restrained than before: "Brother Qian."

"Like being called a boss." Lucky Cat patted him on the back, turned to Mucha and asked, "Is that what you said?"

Mucha nodded: "It's almost the same, it's the boss."

Chen Qian expressed that he understood, turned around and wanted to go back to the office, took two steps, turned his head and said to Mucha as if thinking of something: "Muxia is here, I have something to tell you, hurry up and talk about it for a few minutes, or I may forget later."

A row of question marks popped up on his forehead, Mu Xia and You Yi looked at each other, both were confused.

But he didn't ask much, and obediently followed Chen Qian to the office.Other teachers were correcting homework, or chatting, and only said hello when they saw it, but Mu Xia began to feel uncomfortable.

He followed Chen Qian as if he was forced to stand by his desk, and stood with his hands behind his back, bowing his head and not saying a word.

"Hey, don't be nervous." Lucky Cat picked up the thermos cup on the table and took a sip of wolfberry tea. His words and actions were full of veteran cadre demeanor, "The teacher checked the situation for you before... I heard that the general art test students are under the exam. The training camp is about to start this semester?"

Mucha didn't understand his intention, and answered honestly: "Almost."

Lucky Cat: "Muchia, you know, we are used to teaching culture classes, and when we meet students who take art exams, we only approve leave and don't care about other things. But I think you made up your mind in the second year of high school. It should be different from them, I didn’t want to get a diploma to go this way, so I asked more questions for you.”

The second monk Mu Xiazhang was puzzled and didn't answer.

Lucky Cat was not in a hurry, and continued slowly: "You asked me about the art class before. There is indeed a plan, but it has not been put into action. The teacher's personal opinion is not to expect too much from the school— —Shh, I dare not say this out loud. So if you know someone, you’d better find a better studio in the city.”

Mucha: "Huh?"

"The school's plans are only half done, and work may not start next semester, so you can't count on them. I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart, and the teacher wishes you well." Lucky Cat took a sip of tea, " If you can't find a suitable studio, I'll ask you later... other class teachers may have channels..."

His earnest appearance warmed Mu Xia's heart, scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "You Yi recommended it before, and I have signed up now, and the teacher at the studio will stay until the end of the school exam."

Lucky Cat was surprised for a moment, and then suddenly realized as if thinking of something: "Oh, it's that Teacher Yuan, right? I remember You Yi has a relative who is a partner with him?"

Mucha: "Hey, Mr. Chen, how do you know?"

"Yuan Ye!" Lucky Cat tapped his fingers on the desk. "He worked as an art teacher in a foreign school for a period of time. Later, he felt that private schools were not free and too formalistic. Before he resigned, he scolded the principal. This matter Everyone knows about it, and it has been passed on for quite a while, right, Teacher Wang?"

Yuan Ye was suddenly involved, Mu Xia was still in a daze, and the teacher from the other class who was called at the next table said with a smile, "That's it, Teacher Yuan returned from Italy, so there's nothing to say about his professionalism."

Lucky Cat nodded frequently, and turned back to draw conclusions: "Follow him and study hard! Your parents are busy with work, so if it's inconvenient to live in school, please send me a text message if you want to ask for leave."

He had never received special care from his teacher before, thinking that these were students who had good grades and worked hard, and he didn't expect the teacher to talk to him alone, let alone inquire about things he had asked and understand his family situation in private. , and then find a few more words in a soft voice, "If you have something to ask, ask the teacher."

At this time, Lucky Cat looked at him seriously, Mu Xia blinked, nodded and dared not speak.His sensibility tends to choke his voice, and if Lucky Cat is misunderstood again, he will not be able to speak clearly.

Mu Xia pursed her lips and said softly, "Thank you, Teacher Chen."

"Come on, you should call me Big Brother or Brother Qian. It's weird to call me Teacher so seriously." Two smile lines appeared on Chen Qian's face, and his serious expression returned in a flash, "There is one more thing I want to ask ask you."

Mucha began to feel uneasy again: "You said?"

Chen Qian: "Recently, your dormitory...hasn't there been any conflicts?"

Mucha: "Huh?!"

His reaction was so intense that Chen Qian panicked first, and explained: "Last night, during self-study, the boy from liberal arts came to me and said he hoped to change the dormitory. I don’t want to talk about the specific situation, just change if I can. Of course, I’m not such a partial believer. You just happened to be here today, so just ask—forget it, no one likes to cause trouble in your dormitory except for cruising. , now even cruising doesn't cause much trouble..."

When he heard Xu Wenke's name, Mu Xia frowned unconsciously. Luckily, Lucky Cat didn't notice his abnormality, and kept talking about it.

After he finished speaking, Mucha slowly changed his stance: "I don't know, I basically have no communication with him. Xu Wenke comes back after turning off the lights every night, even at midnight. When it comes to disturbing, I think he Sometimes the noise is too loud for us to sleep, but Youyue is fine with us."

He subconsciously spoke for You Cruise, but he did it deliberately to ridicule Xu Wenke overtly and secretly.Mucha didn't like him, especially after that night, he didn't like him even more.

Lucky Cat didn't hear the gun and stick in it, and thought to himself: "That's right... why don't you and Lin Zhan disagree, I remember that he and Youyou used to have a good relationship..."

"It's okay, Brother Qian." Mucha said, "If he wants to change it, we can change it for him. We are under a lot of pressure in the same dormitory as Xueba."

Lucky Cat began to laugh again: "What is this called? I don't care if I change it or not. I have to coordinate with the dormitory department——Come on, the class bell is ringing, you go back to class first."

The ringing of the bell overlapped with the hurried footsteps outside the office, Mu Xia bowed to the Lucky Cat, turned and left.

When he returned to the classroom, he happened to meet Xu Wenke's curious eyes. The teacher in charge hadn't come yet. For some reason, Mu Xia stood still, only two desks away from Xu Wenke.

Then he raised his hand and gave Xu Wenke a middle finger, and passed him by with the stunned expression on his face.

"Who is disgusting?" Mu Xia whispered, seeing Xu Wenke's expression changed, she added, "Other people treat you as a friend, and you just reciprocate like this, it's amazing."

At the beginning of school, the young man who enthusiastically introduced the school schedule to him seemed to have changed in an instant from his memory. Mu Xia glanced back at him coldly, remembering that this seemed to be the first time he had taken the initiative to talk to Xu Wenke after a long time. sentence.

It's okay to impress him.

Xu Wenke's contempt was too obvious, his boyfriend didn't care about it, but Mu Xia couldn't swallow it.

When he returned to his seat, his expression was not very good. You Yi took advantage of standing up and saluted and turned his head to ask, "Brother Qian, what happened to you?"

Mucha thought for a while, swallowed the second half of the conversation, and his voice was much gentler: "For the art test, he told me to prepare as soon as possible. The teacher is watching you, hurry up and attend the class."

"Then will you still go to my house after school?" You Yi asked.

Mucha nodded and pushed him forward by his shoulders, sat down and took out the draft paper to start doodling.Little tigers in various moods covered the entire white paper, and when the tenth one was drawn, Yu Crui turned his head again.

The classes on Saturday are all self-study. The teacher comes occasionally, usually speaking half of the class questions or reviewing content, and leaving the rest of the class for students to write homework and ask questions.Whenever it’s time for self-study, people in the classroom will inevitably be impetuous, and some who can’t sit still start to scratch around. The teacher sees it, and some good-tempered people don’t care.

Lao Xu, who teaches history, has a very good temper. Youyou blatantly turned 180 degrees, but he pretended not to see it—Mucha thinks that Youyou is amazing, with poor grades and a bad personality, and there are so many people Willing to pamper him.

"Like me." He thought, raised his eyebrows, and raised his hand to pinch Youyou's face.

"Hey!" You Yi patted his hand away, "Just go straight after school? Do you want to tell the family?"

"Too lazy." Mucha directly tore off a piece of paper at the corner, and pasted it on You Yi's forehead, even if it wasn't pasted, it didn't affect his joke, "Cerebellar Axe."

You Yi followed the piece of paper and retorted: "Little Ji Xu...do you think you look like Little Ji Xu?"

Mucha remained expressionless, and then added three beards to the tiger's face: "I don't think so, I'm the breeder of Cerebellar Axe."

The beardless Cerebellar Axe groaned, squeezed Mu Xia's cheeks with both hands and rubbed them repeatedly.The students on the left and right were used to these two people often scratching each other like kittens fighting. Except for Meng Ran's long sigh, no one else responded.

After school, I went back to the dormitory to pick up my things. Mucha checked her phone. His mother hasn't sent a message this week, so there must be nothing else at home.But his father still had a criminal record of cheating, Mu Xia really didn't dare to take it lightly, and sent a text message to his father while taking the bus with You Yi, saying that he would go to live at a classmate's house on weekends, and he would not return.

He can even be said to be indifferent in family affairs. Due to his long-term wandering and lack of security, Mucha's attitude towards his parents is almost the same as that of outsiders: easy-going, accommodating, but never easy to compromise.

When the bus arrived at the stop closest to You Yi's house, my father texted back, saying that his mother had gone to take pictures with the association this week.

Mu Xia was relieved, turned around and hooked You Yi's shoulder, sticking her whole body to his back, and walked forward with the same hands and feet.Since experiencing closer contact, the relationship between the two seems to have suddenly reached a new level.

"Let's have mutton soup tonight." You Yi rubbed his hands, tilted his head and kissed Mu Xia's ear, "Drink mutton soup during the winter solstice."

Mucha: "I want to eat glutinous rice balls, ginger soup glutinous rice balls."

You Yi: "...Forget it, there are regional differences."

In the end, all the takeaway items were mixed and eaten together. Mutton soup and black sesame glutinous rice balls were served with a pile of messy barbecue, served with boring variety shows.

The mobile phone received a notification that the cooling trend of a certain city is increasing, and it will sleet or snow tonight.

It gets dark early in the winter solstice, and it seems that the correct way to open it is to have a big reunion around the hot pot under the lights of thousands of families.Mucha stood on the balcony of You Yi's house, watching the other families in the community living happily through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He glanced at the cooling warning and threw the phone aside, cruising on the sofa with the variety show on, and drank the last sip of mutton soup.It seems that he is very used to this kind of atmosphere, whether it is festivals, birthdays or other important time, he will always spend it by himself. No matter how good the relationship between high school students is, no one will stay home in the middle of the night.

Mucha walked over, sat down beside You Yi, and hugged him without warning.

"Oh, you're acting like a baby again." You Yi said, putting his arms around Mu Xia's shoulders, letting him half lie on his body, his hands unruly stirring up the flames everywhere, "I...I have to take a shower first."

"Don't think too much, we haven't prepared anything, and I'm not in the mood." Mucha said in a muffled voice, "You're quite used to it."

He and Youyou probably have some kind of emotional nerves in common, this nonsense sentence may not be comprehensible to others who want to break their heads, so Youyou is only silent for a while: "No way, they are too busy with work."

Mucha didn't want to talk, the next moment, the voice of the cruiser rang out cheerfully: "But you are here this year."

The smell of the mutton soup he drank just now still lingers in the collar, which is warm and warm, and his heartbeat is also particularly powerful.Mu Xia arched into You Yi's arms: "Let's rest early tonight, maybe it will snow tomorrow morning."

It's snowing, the days are short, and it's nice to spend the long winter nights together.
