No.70 days

In 2008, the Hengshui model had not yet swept the country, and the No. [-] Middle School was only a district and county middle school, so students' lives were even easier.Many years later, when Shao Wu returned to his alma mater to become a geography teacher, he saw the students who were studying at [-] o'clock in the evening, and the words "wait for me at Wuhan University" and "wait for PKU" posted on their desks. Note, I really have mixed feelings in my heart.

In 2008, No. 08 Middle School was the best high school in Yongchuan. 30:[-] Evening self-study ends, the students go together in small groups, some go home, some have supper, and some take off their school uniforms and sneak into the Internet cafe.There is a small river at the entrance of No. [-] Middle School, with tall osmanthus and pine trees on both sides, a night market, and crowded small shops, which are very lively at night.After self-study in the evening, Shao Wu slowly rides his bicycle along the river to go home. In summer, he often buys cold cakes on the street to take home—my mother likes to eat them.

Sometimes, he also sneaks into the Internet cafe after evening self-study.

It's not to play games, but to download some English songs.Shao Wu likes English. When he was in high school, he saved three months of pocket money and asked his cousin who was studying in Chongqing to help him buy a SONY MP3.It was a small square black thing, and the screen was so narrow that it couldn't even display the lyrics.He downloaded the song in the Internet cafe, and had to copy the lyrics line by line in his notebook.

The first time Shao Wu met Yang Shuyi was in an Internet cafe. At that time, there was no arts and science class, and the two of them were not in the same class.Yang Shuyi is obviously a regular customer - Xinxin Internet Cafe pays first before surfing the Internet, but Yang Shuyi walked in, sat down next to Shao Wu, and the network administrator consciously turned on the machine for him.

Shao Wu couldn't help but look at Yang Shuyi frequently from the corner of his eye, because he didn't take off his school uniform.Is he also a freshman in high school?It seems that I have never seen it before.Yang Shuyi started playing games, Fantasy Westward Journey, which Shao Wu saw his cousin played. On the 17-inch computer screen, Yang Shuyi manipulated his game character around outside Chang'an City.Wearing a white shirt and holding a paper fan, Shao Wu didn't know until a long time later that this character was called Xiaoyaosheng, and he was a handsome young man.Later, many years later, Shao Wu started playing Glory of Kings, and his id name was Fox Beauty.Friends laughed at him, are you pretending to be a girl to catch a straight man?Shao Wu also laughed, but did not speak.

In Fantasy Westward Journey, Xiaoyaosheng's lover is Fox Beauty.

Of course that's all for later.

Shao Wu kept sneaking glances at the screen, and forgot to cover up when he glanced at the screen, staring straight at it.This game does not seem to be the type of fighting and killing. I saw the handsome boy in white walking and stopping, and dialog boxes popped up on the screen from time to time.

"Are you okay?" Yang Shuyi asked suddenly.

Shao Wuzheng was fascinated by watching it, and was startled immediately. He raised his head and looked directly at Yang Yi with lowered eyelids, his eyes were lowered, and his expression was not very happy.

"I...uh," Shao Wu said awkwardly, "What kind of game is this?"

"Fantasy Westward Journey." During the period of voice change, Yang Shuyi's voice was a little hoarse.

"Oh, Fantasy Westward Journey...it looks really fun."

Yang Shuyi didn't answer.

Shao Wu shyly withdrew his gaze, the last impression he had of Yang Shuyi was his arm.He rolled up the sleeves of his school uniform jacket above his elbows, revealing a wheat-colored forearm. When he pressed hard on the keyboard, the muscles on his forearm tensed up, making him appear slender and strong.

Soon, Shao Wu downloaded several English songs, copied the lyrics, got up and left.

When he left, Yang Shuyi—he didn't know his name was Yang Shuyi at that time—was still playing games with a focused expression.

That night, Shao Wu dreamed of Yang Shuyi.It's not a sweet and beautiful dream.In the dream, Yang Shuyi still had a cold expression, still rolled up the sleeves of his school uniform to his elbows, standing at the school gate, surrounded by noisy students.He asked Shao Wu lightly: "What's your name?"

After waking up, Shao Wu thought with some regret that he should ask the boy's name, after all—after all, they are from the same school.

It's a pity that Shao Wu never saw him again until he was divided into classes in arts and sciences in the second year of high school.
