"When filling out the test paper for the college entrance examination, write your name better."

Ning Xi held the phone and emphasized to him over and over again, "Don't make mistakes in the test number, and take the notes for filling in the machine to read the card. You go to bed early at night and go out an hour earlier. These days are very busy."

Xing Cheng was a little nervous after being told, so he took a breather and said seriously: "Don't worry."

He didn't dare to eat too much at night, so he poured a few times of warm water down his stomach. On the last day of the day, his father returned the phone to him. The signal was smooth, and he could even hear Ning Xi's breathing. Talk to him nonsense.

Ning Xi frowned and said, "Chinese tomorrow morning, don't you plan to read for a while?"

Xing Cheng intentionally stimulated him: "I've recited it all, you have to talk to me for a while, otherwise I won't be motivated tomorrow morning, what should I do if I fail the exam?"

"Don't curse yourself," Ning Xi wanted to hit him violently through the phone screen, "talk for half an hour, you wash up and go to bed."

"Brother, were you also very nervous about the exam at that time?" Xing Cheng felt that he was a little nervous and abnormal.

"not nervous."

Ning Xi confessed honestly, tilted his head and thought for a while, the summer wind in Beijing made him very comfortable.

He changed his position on the balcony and said in a deep voice: "After all, I have already passed the college entrance examination, so my mentality is quite good. But when I came out of the examination room that day, I saw you standing among a group of parents waiting I... I admit that at that time, I was very nervous."

Ning Xi spoke very slowly.

"I'm afraid I won't do well in the exam, and I'm afraid you will be sad."

"I hope that I will always be No.1 in your heart."

Xing Cheng has not said a word, it is rare for Ning Xi to hold such a long sentence in one breath, after being with Xing Cheng, he has more ways to express his heart.

"But that day, when I rushed over to hug you, I wasn't nervous anymore, and I felt that nothing was important, just hugging you."

Xing Cheng gave a low "um", and repeated Ning Xi's words with a smile: "Just hold me."

In fact, on the day the letter was opened, Ning Xi leaned against the window on the train going north, reading the letter written by Xing Cheng with only one hand.

Because he always felt that Xing Cheng was holding his other hand.

Ning Xi read the entire letter for three or four hours, tossing and turning.

The younger brother downstairs who grew up after him is a gift from God, and he is grateful for life.

Ning Xi smelled the fir and pine wood smell on Xing Cheng's body for half the winter vacation, and now that he has left Chengdu, his body still smells of him.

In the following many years, whenever they temporarily separated for a little longer due to various reasons, Ning Xi used to bring a bottle of commonly used perfume for travel, make it a small sample, put it on the wrist, and let it linger on the tip of the nose , Make a thought in your heart.

The exam room for the college entrance examination is located in Shizhong Headquarters. They are very familiar with the classrooms, because the school is the best liberal arts high school in the city. The situation at the school gate is the same as in previous years. There are quite a few media outlets on the Internet holding mobile phones to interview.

Xing Cheng didn't let his parents see him off, he went to bed at [-] o'clock in the evening, and got up at [-] o'clock in the morning, and it was not far to walk there, with a bag on his back and a blue short sleeve, he looked like a passing student.

He looked calm, but in fact he was extremely nervous inside. He opened his schoolbag over and over again to check that all the stationery and documents were complete, and then went to the school gate to find his classmates who were taking the exam.

Although Ren Mei is a scumbag, she still showed the aura of taking the [-] exam, saying that her grades were poor, but she couldn't lose in her aura.

As soon as the red thread pulled by the door was untied by the staff in charge of supervising the examination room, the crowd surged, and Xing Cheng followed in.

At 12:30 noon, Xingcheng walked out with his bag on his back, followed the crowd, and got a bottle of Coke at the small shop at the school gate, drinking while walking.

The icy cold entered his throat, which made his mind quite clear.

Relaxed like one afternoon after training and rushing home under the scorching sun.

According to Xing Cheng's original temperament, after the exam, he must have finished the exam and threw away the books. However, his parents were surprised to find that the child had packed all the books in a box and put them away after the Chinese exam. Ben was reluctant to throw it away.

Xing Cheng knew what his parents were thinking, and silently tied up the box with tape. There are quite a few things in it that he wrote when he and Ning Xi endorsed the book together. are you there?

He didn't bring his mobile phone when he went out for the exam, and when he got home, he saw Ning Xi's text messages popping out one after another, saying everything, but he was more nervous than himself.

The subjects in the afternoon were still tough, and the weather temperature was rising, so it was inevitable to feel drowsy. Xing Cheng finished the paper in one breath, then closed the pen cap, and put the sword back into its sheath, full of confidence.

Until the afternoon of June [-]th, when Xing Cheng came out after the exam, he finally relaxed his tense nerves when he saw the crowd at the school gate.

There were no cheers from candidates, no crowds of celebrations, no one crying, everything seemed too calm, as if it was just an ordinary afternoon.

"Run!"

Ren Mei, who had been looking for him outside the exam room for a long time, called him to stop, and asked each other how the exam was going in a more sensible manner, "Are there any arrangements for the evening?"

Xing Cheng has been highly tense for two days, and when he relaxes, he becomes tired and sleepy. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I have to go home first, rest for a few days before making an appointment?"

"Success, there's still a graduation ceremony, my brothers are waiting for you then!"

Xing Cheng had a good time: "Are you all fucking thinking about feeding me?"

"If you don't drink it, who will you drink it with? I'll go to Beijing in the future, and I can't find anyone to drink with!" After leaving a sentence that deserves a beating, Ren Mei wiped the soles of his shoes and slipped away. It seemed that he was in a good mood.

After working, the wine is not as pure as drinking with brothers in school, and the friendship is emphasized, and the situation in this aspect is generally not pushed.

It's just that when I'm drunk, I always think of his brother, and it's inevitable that my mood will fluctuate.

Cheng Cheng checked that there was no family car parked by the side of the road, so he walked back home sullenly.

The sun in Chengdu is still hot, shining golden light through the treetops, casting a few silhouettes. After the summer wind, it looks like a shadow of a person.

A shadow that is thousands of miles away...and seems to be close at hand.

On the afternoon after the college entrance examination, the most familiar school gate, the most familiar street, stood the person he was most familiar with.

The man was about 1.8 meters tall, with a fair complexion, thin and narrow double eyelids, and a small mole on the tip of his nose. His expression was still too cool.

Looking at this side, there are only a few waves of light autumn water.

That day Ning Xi was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and was standing across the street from the examination room with two bottles of pomegranate soda in hand.

Seeing that Xingcheng was walking steadily, walking across the road, facing the light, he embraced him in his arms.

Many years later, when Ning Xi recalled that afternoon, it still seemed like it was just yesterday.

His running, forever preserved a pure heart, beating and burning for him.

On the way home that day, Xingcheng called him with his head down, his voice hoarse: "Baby."

Ning Xi let out a "hmm", and heard Xing Cheng ask again: "How long have you been on the plane?"

Ning Xi said, "Two and a half hours."

Xing Cheng was silent, didn't ask where the money came from, just stretched out his hand to hold Ning Xi's palm, holding it very tightly.

He asked again: "You used to say that the plane takes two and a half hours to fly. How far is it? Do you still feel far away now?"

Ning Xi stood still, turned around and rested her chin on Xing Cheng's shoulder.

He said, "Not far away."

In fact, it has never been far.

Later, during this long summer vacation, they took a lot of pictures together in the city, went to ride Binjiang East Road many times, bought bottle after bottle of soda at the school gate, kept laying up and hitting the net, running and shouting, eager to stay These three years.

But many things can only stay in that period of time.

So much so that when the North Sports admission notice was issued in mid-July, Xing Cheng and Ning Xi had to buy tickets in advance, instead of taking the money from their parents for the flight, they bought railway tickets instead, saying they wanted to go slowly. .

Then slowly look at the scenery along the way.

The two schools are not in the same district, and Ning Xi pinches Xing Cheng's face. Isn't this a fucking long-distance relationship?

If they don't live together, there will be long-distance relationships upstairs and downstairs!

Ning Xi wanted to kick him, never heard that seeing him once a week meant that Xiaobie was better than a newlywed.

The waistbands of the running trousers are all fastened. Damn it, it won't work!I have to rent a house.

But this is all for later.

Having said that, on the night of the end of the college entrance examination, Xingcheng didn't feel tired. He ran downstairs and led Ning Xi across a few streets, and rushed to the Funan River, as if he wanted to jump into the river for love.

Those street lamps were bright and dim, as if the focus was on them again.

Ning Xi hurriedly pulled him, but was suddenly hugged in his arms almost with all his strength.

"Ning Xi, you really have no chance to choose now. I will never let go in my life. I admit that I am naive, have many problems, paranoid and irritable. I will change slowly, but these are not for you to give up on me in the future. reason."

Cheng Cheng said every word, and then hoarse again: "Brother, the only reason is that I don't love you anymore, but this won't happen."

His palms messed up the hair on the back of Ning Xi's head, "I've been chasing after you, trying to erase the three-year gap. Now, I've caught up a bit."

Ning Xi was stuffy in his neck, "Then when I turn around, you'll be killed."

Cheng Cheng raised his voice: "That's fine, I'm fucking happy."

The two of them wandered around until the wee hours of the morning, and then set foot on the way home.

The scenery on the road is still the same, and the people around me have not changed.

It seems that time just stole the pile of test papers, instead of stealing two teenagers who are as bright as stars in the world.

Xing Cheng suddenly remembered the memo that Ning Xi deleted that year.

Ning Xi, however, seemed to have a tacit understanding for a moment, and took out his mobile phone to show him.

He said in a low voice: "Actually, after I left last year, I also remembered a lot. About you, I remember very clearly."

Even if he himself is a person who even forgets to eat dinner.

"There are too many that can't be kept, I miss the old days very much, travel."

Ning Xi continued, "But as long as you are here, I can't wait for my future life."

The wind passed by in the summer night, and a leaf fell on the shoulders of the horse.

He looked down at Ning Xi's phone.

Now Ning Xi's memo is all new.

"About my travels:

I don't like talking, but I like talking to him. (also talk nonsense)

He will restrain his temper, praise.

It was raining, and he didn't bring an umbrella, so he came to rub against me.

A glass of milk every day makes Chinese strong! (he is so stupid)

My 21st birthday gift is a courier that can walk by itself. "

In the last few sentences, the pronoun for Xingcheng also changed from "he" to "you".

"The ball goes in and you go in for me.

You can't fight for someone else.

The summer wind in May, it blows from north to south, hugged me, and hugged you again.

You always say you want to mature, but in fact, I hope you will always be that kind and brave boy.

With you, grow up stumbling, and also, grow old slowly. "

Seeing the last item, Xing Cheng read it out in a low voice: "With you, grow up stumblingly, and also, grow old slowly."

"Read."

After speaking, he moved closer and opened his arms, as if trying to hold back something in his eyes.

In the corridor of the unit building, on the stairs where they have left memories for more than ten years, Xing Cheng still held Ning Xi in his arms with his height advantage, turned his head to kiss his ear, and repeated: "I have read it. "

As long as they have the same path ahead, their selflessness has never had anything to do with distance.

I just want to be carefree, I just want to be "lawless".

When I was young, the kid brother who ran around the neighborhood with toy airplanes and toy guns every day, was often in stark contrast to him who often lay down in front of the window and wrote questions. When Ning Xi grew up, thinking about it, he felt It's funny, it looks like people from two worlds, somehow they just walked together.

Year after year, the flowers bloom and wither upstairs in the courtyard, spring and autumn come and go, children change batch after batch, and Shizhong's school uniform also changes color and logo. However, for Ning Xi and Xing Cheng It is said that no matter how many changes there are in the world, as long as the flowers are still blooming and people are still there, there will always be hope and hope in life.

If time can be turned back, youth can come back again, the one who goes to carry water for the third year of high school every day, the one who climbs over the wall, the one who fights for the ball game, is still walking, and the one who writes the memo and makes money by making up lessons is still Ning Xi.

Their banknotes of love, one by one, are treasured and folded, and are hidden in the pockets of the years.

Some things, just once in this life, can only be done in school.

In the next few years, Xing Cheng recalled the ups and downs that he had experienced in Shizhong, the battles, the building training, and every piece of concrete floor that fell, every desk that dozed off, Ning Xi every time. A profile that he secretly kissed...

I always want to say, long live youth, three years without regrets.

He and Ning Xi have no regrets in this life.

In fact, after returning to Beijing during the winter vacation, Ning Xi also sent a letter back to Xing Cheng, sent it directly by courier, and put a short sleeve of her own, which was the one that Xing Cheng wore to the college entrance examination later.

The letter is very short, only two lines.

"Ride:

Do you know what Aiwujiwu means?

It's because you love me.

Therefore, I love myself. "

Although a few words are enough to express everything about him.

As written in Xing Cheng's letter, the number of time is also rigid, and only the length of life can be measured.

What the so-called "like" feels like, Ning Xi didn't describe it clearly in the past, but he just felt that when he was playing on the basketball court, the weather seemed to be much clearer.

Now "love", he can clearly say.

The time is too long, it is difficult to describe, everything can be summed up in just two people's names.

Class [-] and [-] of senior high school, Xing Cheng, Class [-] of senior [-] and [-], Ning Xi.

Goodbye.
