Boiling point

After sending away a large number of high school seniors, the whole school suddenly became empty. Before, He Xin always felt that no matter how fast he ran, every time he went back to the cafeteria to eat, he would have to be crowded with people. As soon as you leave, you don’t have to pass the meal card back and forth in the crowded aisle to buy food at noon, and let the students in the front help to occupy the favorite dishes, and there is no door after school in the afternoon. The visual impact was shocking, half of the library was empty, there was no neat reading in the teaching building next door, and the graffiti wall on the school roof was never renewed.

The departure of the third year of senior high school undoubtedly put enormous pressure on the second year of high school students. Everyone has a heavy burden in their hearts. The phenomenon of fighting around the classroom has basically disappeared. Everyone is actively preparing for the final exam, because this time the ranking of the exam is based on Can you draw a successful end to your sophomore year of high school, and more importantly, is this a good start for them who are about to step into the dark and dark senior year of high school?

During that time, if He Xin often accompanied him to read books, Li Yanqi felt that he might not be able to survive.

Besides reading, he still has his younger brother to take care of and earn a living. At that time, he saved all the money he got from shooting magazines, and he couldn't move a penny. This was the money to go to Antan for the operation.

He didn't go out to work in the past few months, and he had to overcome many financial difficulties. Although He Xin would help a little, he didn't care about the small money, but he couldn't rely on the other party for support, and He Xin also tried to be considerate and take care of his self-esteem, Except for buying things to feed them, the rest of the money is shared equally.

When Li Yanqi was buried by a bunch of practice questions, he would occasionally think that he would definitely not be able to go out to work in the third year of high school, and had to concentrate on preparing for the exam, so the problem of money was very serious. How can small money make big money? How can it not affect him? Earn a little more money while learning progress.

He Xin gave him a suggestion, let him use some money to invest in wealth management products, he is so good at mathematics, and his logical analysis ability is so good, he is lucky every time he grabs a red envelope, and the chance of making a steady profit is quite high.

"Wu Rui's mother is a master of financial management. She used to be a consultant in my dad's company." He Xin lay beside Li Yanqi and said, "Now she is a teacher. She earns tens of thousands in a class. I asked Wu Rui to give us money." Open the back door."

Li Yanqi hugged him sideways, thought for a while and asked, "Is it convenient?"

He Xin smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's fine."

Li Yanqi patted his arm, "Thank you."

He Xin stared at his much thinner jaw for a while, then leaned over and kissed him distressedly, "There is nothing to thank, I didn't lend it to you for nothing, you have to pay back the money and the interest."

Li Yanqi smiled hoarsely, "Didn't the interest be paid back just now? What do you want?"

He Xin leaned into his ear and whispered, "This kind of interest is not enough, don't you know that we young people are greedy?"

"Aren't you sleepy?" Li Yanqi rubbed his eyelids, "The eyes are already small enough, you can't even see them now."

He Xin touched his chin affectionately, "I'm so sleepy, my whole body is sore now."

"You are so sore, I haven't screamed sour yet." Li Yanqi got up from the bed, "Young man, your physical strength is not good enough."

He Xin grabbed his wrist, pressed his chin against his shoulder, and rubbed it reluctantly, "Go back to bed early, if it wasn't for Little Milk Foam who has been having nightmares in the middle of the night these two days, I really want you to sleep here with me."

Li Yanqi put on his clothes, and before he left, he broke off the hands that were tightly bound around his waist, leaned over and kissed him on the forehead, "Good night."

He Xin smiled softly, "Good night."

Li Yanqi tiptoed back to the room, went to the desk and sat down. He turned on the lamp to the darkest, rubbed his swollen temples, opened the physics test paper, and stayed up all night working hard.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that he understood this type of topic thoroughly. At this time, Li An just started to have a dream. He didn't know what he dreamed of. He stretched out his little hand to grasp in the empty air. The side of the bed patted his little belly gently until he fell asleep peacefully again.

Li Yanqi moved his sore neck and shoulders, turned over and fell on the bed, he was too tired, before he had time to think about the investment, he fell asleep within a moment.

The final exam came amidst mourning, and ended in chaos. In just two days, I felt that everyone was exhausted. What's worse, there was only two weeks of rest after the exam. It is time to enter a new round of tutoring, and there is no summer vacation for prospective high school seniors.

Taking advantage of the holiday, He Xin hurriedly contacted Wu Rui, and the two of them had a good chat about the old days, and they chatted for a full hour before getting to the point.

Wu Rui was so surprised that he didn't speak for a long time. After finally calming down, he forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart and said calmly, "No, you really plan to teach Li Yanqi 50 yuan to learn how to invest from my mother? What if you lose everything? manage?"

He Xin said, "It's a loan, not a gift. I'll lend it to him."

Wu Rui muttered in a low voice, "Is there a difference? You borrowed it until the end and it was fired, so you just gave it away?"

He Xin smiled and said, "Are you so unconfident in your mother? Auntie is the chief investment advisor of Bincheng after all."

"That's not what I mean." Wu Rui scratched his hair irritably, "I just think you are too big, no matter how good he is with you, you can't lose all your belongings, you have to pay for it." Leave a way out for yourself, it's not five yuan, it's 50 yuan, you don't have the shelter of your family now, to put it bluntly, you have nothing, just rely on your own poor students, you... hey, I won't say Yeah, I'm pissed off."

"I understand what you mean." He Xin paused for a while before continuing, "Wu Xiaohou, I have to confess something to you. There is no one around you right now."

Wu Rui snorted, "No one."

He Xin lowered her voice and said, "Li Yanqi is not my friend, he is my boyfriend, friend, friend."

"Boyfriends can't be so selfless." Wu Rui followed up unconsciously, and then his whole body exploded. He threw the phone a meter away. Jie was shattered, scorched inside and tender on the outside.

He Xin calmly waited for Wu Rui to pick up the phone. After 5 minutes, he heard a loud voice coming from the receiver, "You are so righteous when you are fucking bent, my big brother, you have to be ashamed!"

"No." He Xin suppressed a smile and said, "Hey, you are so excited, I knew I wouldn't tell you."

Wu Rui raised his head and screamed, his hair was messed up by him. It took him a long time to recover, sighed and said to the receiver, "Then are you attacking or receiving?"

"Pfft." He Xin choked, "Fuck, you fucking understand better than me."

Wu Rui cocked his tail a little proudly, "Now little girls love to see two men flirting with each other, why don't I read more books for the sake of being a girl?"

He Xin clicked her tongue, "Crazy, you and Sister Liao really should get to know each other."

"Which family is sister Liao a good sister?" Wu Rui's eyes lit up for a moment, "Are you a classmate? Are you beautiful? How's your figure? Do you want to introduce me?"

He Xin couldn't bear to hold back his laughter. He coughed and quickly brought the topic back, "Hurry up and tell Auntie for me. If it succeeds, I'll send you Sister Liao's WeChat."

Wu Rui, who had been tricked, agreed with a stupid face, although he agreed reluctantly.

"I know you're doing it for my own good." He Xin sighed and said, "You're afraid that I'll be overwhelmed by love for a while, and if we break up later, I won't get any benefit."

Wu Rui rubbed his hands together and said, "I'm not expecting you two to break up. After all, I've met Li Yanqi once. Cough, shouldn't it be more appropriate for me to call you sister-in-law? No matter what you call him, how does he feel to me?" It’s quite reliable, and he came so far to find you at that time, which made me moved for a long time because of the pure brotherhood between the two of you... We grew up together, and I know you very well Personality, you finally fell in love with someone, even if this person is a man, I will admit it, really, as long as you feel happy, that's it."

Wu Rui also felt a little emotional when he said, "You have thought about the money issue yourself, and I can't get in the way. Anyway, you are more capable of making money than me. I heard you said before that Li Yanqi has been earning a living since he was a child. He should also be stronger than you, so after thinking about it, I feel relieved."

"Well, thank you." He Xin smiled, "My boyfriend will definitely earn back for me, and treat you to a big meal then."

"Come on, you're calling me just to show your love." Wu Rui smashed his back molars, recalled all the deeds he ignored before, slapped his thigh and said, "Did you two have sex early? When he came to Bincheng to look for you, I felt that something was wrong, but I didn’t think about it at the time. Fuck, you looked like a frustrated domineering president at that time, and he was the pure little white flower who watered you and gave you the courage to stand up again. .”

"Wu Xiaohou, you've watched too many fucking vulgar idol dramas." He Xin squinted her eyes with a smile, and looked at Li Yanqi who was pressing the milk foam in front of the sink, her eyes became gentle.

The two of you came and I bickered a few words, before Wu Ruigan bowed down, he said, "Well, Sister Liao's phone number..."

He Xin smiled and hung up. Li Yanqi walked behind him, put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Why did I hear you tell Sister Liao several times."

He Xin turned her head to look at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I sold Sister Liao."

"Ah?" Li Yanqi pursed his lips in confusion.

"Forget it, it's okay." He Xin grabbed his hand and said, "I've settled the matter with Wu Rui, I guess I can give you an answer next week, and see which class I can take on the weekend."

Li Yanqi stretched out his hand and hugged him into his arms, "Wait for your boyfriend to make money for you."

"Just waiting." He Xin put her arms around his waist and kissed the side of his neck, "I have to go to class again in a few days."

"It's the third year of high school." Li Yanqi sighed, "There is still one more year."

It was a very hot summer afternoon, and the two of them hugged each other at the door for a while, and immediately sweated, but neither of them let go.

It wasn't until many years later that Li Yanqi realized that the sum of money that He Xin lent him without hesitation was his only savings at that time. Recalling that summer, that sweaty but clinging hug, he felt At that time, I had nothing, but I seemed to embrace the whole world again.

The cram school in the summer vacation is very hard, because there is no air conditioner in the classroom, only a few old electric fans blowing weakly, most of the time is still hot, everyone feels torment, hot and tired, when tired, rely on I fell asleep on the table, but the sound of writing questions came from the next door, and I would frequently let myself be absent-minded, for fear that if I didn't work hard, I would be chased by others, so I gritted my teeth and got up, rubbed my sore eyes, looked up. Head to drink a bottle of water and keep going.

I have not officially entered the third year of high school, but during that summer vacation, many people deeply realized that "the college entrance examination is really a war without gunpowder".

Li Yanqi failed in the final exam, which was expected by him, but he has the courage to temporarily transfer subjects, so he naturally has the corresponding ability to accept failure.

It doesn't matter if you fail once, but he can't relax, slack off, or compromise, so he must work harder than others.

He Xin thrived in the art class. Art students didn't have high requirements for cultural subjects. His English was enough to beat the whole school. In addition, although he was not good in other subjects, he passed all of them. No.1 among art students.

However, he has checked that the self-enrollment examination for the design school of Antan Academy of Fine Arts is still difficult. Students who want to apply for the examination in early February during the winter vacation can go to Antan to take the nationwide examination, and then they have to screen out some of them. The first batch of people, those who stay behind must also pass their grades in cultural courses.

Being No.1 in the Nanxi art class is not something to be proud of, at least for He Xin, it is not stable enough.

At the beginning of September, the "Opening Ceremony of New Senior Three" was grandly held in the school auditorium. The outstanding seniors of the previous class came to give speeches in person. Everyone was full of morale, and the venue was full of enthusiasm in a short while.

He Xin sat in the seat of Class [-] and probed to find the location of Class [-]. Li Yanqi was not an outstanding student representative this time. He was wearing a clean white shirt and was staring up at the rostrum with a calm expression, but His eyes were full of unwillingness.

He Xin knew that he was not reconciled to being able to give a speech on stage, but rather that he was not reconciled to the fact that after he got tenth in the final exam last time, when he was in the liberal arts class, Li Yanqi was on the honor list almost every year No.1, no one can shake his position.

He wasn't worried that he would be knocked down by this little setback. His boyfriend wasn't that fragile, but frustration was inevitable. It had nothing to do with being strong or not, it was human nature.

So He Xin didn't want to waste time in this speech. When the principal invited art student No.1 to come on stage, he just stood on the stage in a hurry, glanced casually at the audience, and stared at Li Yanqi's direction , gave him a thumbs up, then withdrew his hand, and jumped off the stage with his arms propped up in horror.

An art student who is more like a sports student, a senior poor student who gives off a decadent and presumptuous temperament as soon as he transfers to another school, and a time bomb with two punishments in his teaching file, which no one dares to mess with, after a semester of tempering, Became an outstanding student representative to speak on stage, the principal and a group of teachers couldn't figure it out, let alone talk about the students in other classes who were watching the show.

When He Xin jumped off the stage, there was a burst of exclamation from the audience. He ignored it, brushed off his clothes and walked straight to his seat. When he passed Class [-], he looked down at Li Yanqi. Yan Qi also looked up at him, and the two exchanged a tacit smile and reached out to touch each other.

During the evening self-study, Li Yanqi bought Guandong cooking and asked He Xin to go to the rooftop to eat. He said regretfully, "You should stand on the stage for a while today, I don't even have time to take pictures."

He Xin took a bite of the meat sausage, "The eyes of the audience are staring at me, it's so awkward."

"Then you wrote a long list of speeches last night, so you just discarded them?" Li Yanqi smiled and said, "It's not easy for you to hold back these [-] words at your language level."

He Xin didn't speak, and raised her head to blow the wind for a while.

Li Yanqi stretched out his hand and squeezed his fingertips, "If it's to end this speech as soon as possible, and I'm afraid I won't feel comfortable watching it, then you are really an idiot."

"I was bored at first." He Xin looked around and kissed Li Yanqi's ear, "It's more practical to read a book to someone in such a short amount of time."

"You look very handsome standing on stage." Li Yanqi looked at him with serious eyes, "I'm very proud of you, sincerely."

He Xin smiled and turned her head back, "Did you think so in your heart at that time, yo, look, this guy who doesn't wear the school uniform well and looks like a mess is my boyfriend! This 1.9 meter Two, the smart and handsome guy is my boyfriend! This IQ person who rose from the bottom two in the school to the number one art student is my boyfriend!"

Li Yanqi replied with a smile, "Follow me, so you all poke your eyes for me, and you are not allowed to see any of them!"

He Xin put his finger on his shoulder and tapped twice, "Then, wouldn't it suit you if I jumped down? It's a tacit understanding."

Li Yanqi didn't argue anymore, he hummed, put down the oden, and leaned his head on He Xin's shoulder.

This position is a blind spot, and no one is coming at the moment, He Xin solemnly raised one hand, wrapped his arms around the opponent's waist, squeezed his chin, and kissed him with his head down.

After lingering for a while, Li Yanqi's lips turned red from being sucked by him, He Xin licked his lips a few times before leaving in satisfaction, glanced at him and said, "What should I do if my classmates see me later? "

Li Yanqi smiled, "That's why I bought a bowl of super spicy oden today." He groped to get up from He Xin, "No, how swollen is it? Does it look weird?"

He Xin lost control just now, this kiss was a bit crazy, he took out the mask from his pocket and hung it under his earlobe, "You'd better wear it first, I can only see your swollen lips."

"Tsk." Li Yanqi shook his head.

He Xin walked up to him and patted his butt, "Tsk, what tsk, I'm just so authoritarian."

As he spoke, he hugged the other person's waist in distress, "This is too skinny, you have to gain weight before the next exam, do you hear me?"

Li Yanqi went to a hidden place and touched him, "No matter how thin I am, I can still subdue you with a bit of skill."

He Xin felt a little flustered when he thought of how he was thrown to the bed by Li Yanqi the day before yesterday and couldn't get up anyway, a sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart, he squinted his eyes, "You fucking practiced without telling me It's grappling."

Li Yanqi blinked innocently, and went downstairs one step faster than him, He Xin walked behind, approaching the classroom, he added two extra sessions to his weekly fitness class.

After the official start of the third year of senior high school, a calendar will be pasted on the wall of each classroom, with the number of days until the college entrance examination written on it, and tear it up every day, and everyone will tear it up according to the student number, so that everyone can feel the urgency of time .

In fact, compared with the second year of high school, the biggest difference lies in the time.

The time in the third year of high school passed too fast.

It often flies past before people have time to sigh.

I wake up early to study every day, and several classes have passed in a flash. Before the lunch break, I started to do the questions, and it was the afternoon again. It seemed that I had just started to listen carefully, and the evening self-study had already arrived.

It was so fast that people were caught off guard, and the pressure of one layer after another was overwhelming. It seemed that if we didn't work hard, it would really be too late.

The one-model exam came at the point when everyone was immersed in reading. After the exam, the results were released and the national day was announced. It was the first time that No. [-] Middle School took the unified examination with other schools, and the test papers were more difficult than before.

The liberal arts class was wailing, but the science class was much calmer, but judging from the fact that everyone dared not answer the answers after the exam, it is estimated that the grades were also hanging.

There was an autumn rain on the day when the rankings were announced, and the weather gradually turned cooler. The leaves of the sycamore trees around the school were falling, and the atmosphere of the whole campus was very bleak. After falling a few places.

So it fell on He Xin to help everyone check their grades. He held a notebook in his hand, and drew a table on the notebook to record their grades one by one. In the same corridor, very close to him, after He Xin finished copying the grades, she immediately gave the notebook to a passing classmate, and asked him to hand it over to Liao Mei from Class [-], and ran all the way to the end of the corridor to see the students from the science class. grades ranking.

He is tall, and he can see the names in the front row without crowding.

He Xin's palms were sweaty. From No.1 to No.10, he found that Li Yanqi's name was not there. He gritted his teeth, and his heart gradually sank.

"Li Yanqi has withdrawn another five this time, twenty. He has never been so bad in the exam." A boy next to him whispered.

"He used to be No.1 in the liberal arts class. Why can't he figure out that he wants to transfer to the science class? Even if he is a genius, he can't catch up with us with such a period of hard work."

Another person sighed and said, "I admire him a lot, the top [-] is also very good, at least he can get on the first line."

He Xin didn't listen anymore, he turned around and ran to the fourth floor in one breath, Li Yanqi was not in the class, asked his classmates, they said he hadn't been back since he came downstairs.

He Xin guessed that he must have seen his own results, and now he didn't know where to hide his sadness alone.

He is always like this, when he is sad, he will not be seen.

When there is pressure, I always carry it alone.

Fuck, He Xin kicked the soda can lying on the stairs, and went downstairs in a hurry and angrily, and was accidentally bumped by a person holding a bucket, splashing water all over her body.

As soon as he turned into the back door of the class, he heard a familiar voice calling his name.

He Xin stopped abruptly, and turned her head to stare at Li Yanqi who was leaning on the railing.

"you......."

Li Yanqi's complexion was not very good, but he still smiled and said, "I'm here to find you."

He Xin was stunned for a while, then rushed into the classroom, carried out her schoolbag, then kicked the door, dragged Li Yanqi to the toilet, pushed and shoved into a small cubicle, He Xin He reached out and hugged him tightly.

"What's the smell on you?" Li Yanqi lowered his head and sniffed.

"It smells like rags. I was poured a bucket of water." He Xin said, "No, don't push me away now, even if you have a cleanliness."

Li Yanqi put his arms around him, and sighed softly in his ear, "Do you know why I came to see you?"

He Xin didn't speak, and soon heard him say, "I didn't pass the exam, I want to hug Brother Lemon Jing."

"Hug." He Xin said loudly, and the strength around his arm became a little heavier. He was very happy, and he thought that Li Yanqi would choose to bear it silently again this time.

"If you didn't pass the exam, you didn't pass the exam. There will be another time. Today, I only took one exam, two exams, three exams, four exams, five or six exams..."

"There are only three models in total." Li Yanqi interrupted him.

"No matter how many models there are, it's still the beginning, right?" He Xin said, "You won't be in the top 1 all the time, No.[-] is waiting for you, I believe and am sure, this day will not be too late."

"Well, I'm not discouraged." Li Yanqi hugged him and stroked his hair, "Why are you more excited than me?"

He Xin let go of him. In this way, he also felt that he was exaggerating, coughed and turned his face away, but the next moment he was pulled back by Li Yanqi's wrist.

"Is it because I came to you for the first time and was moved?" Li Yanqi rubbed his chin on the side of his neck, closed his eyes gently and said, "If you don't mind sharing my sadness, I want to continue Hugging you."

"Do you want me to praise you?" He Xin said.

"Praise." Li Yanqi nodded.

He Xin stretched out one hand and stroked his head twice, "Brother Ta, you are great, you can take a breath once in a while, you don't need to work so hard, and I will be with you for another year."

Li Yanqi has not felt relaxed for a long time since the third year of high school. He has a nervous tension all day long, which makes his brain hurt and he is very tired. The huge pressure makes him breathless, but looking at his brother Every night he gritted his teeth and took out the wrong book and continued to read at night. He had a thousand reasons to give up, but as long as there was one reason for him to persist, he would not easily go against his wish.

He wants to be a doctor, not only because he wants to cure his brother himself, but also as a kind of sustenance. There are thousands of patients like his brother in this world. They are suffering, and their relatives are also suffering. He understands too well. This feeling of falling into the abyss, no matter how hard you struggle, you can't get out, so he wants to give himself a hope, and give them a hope.

But the first step at the beginning was more difficult than he imagined, and every subsequent step was extremely difficult to realize. Fortunately, He Xin was with him, making him understand that the feeling of showing weakness is really much better than holding on.

Li Yanqi held back for a long time, and finally released the pressure at this moment. He felt his eyes were a little hot, but his heart was at ease. He tilted his head and hugged He Xin tightly.

"Brother Ta, let's run away." He Xin whispered in his ear, "Tomorrow is going to be a holiday, and we will skip the last class in the afternoon. Let's be self-willed, and I will take you to play."

Li Yanqi was stunned for a moment, and he kissed his lips again.

"Don't say no."

He Xin pushed him to the door of the classroom, urging him to get his schoolbag quickly. Since Li Yanqi came to class [-], he has never left early or been late. It just so happens that the lunch break is over, and the teacher for the first class is slowly coming On the way late, the people in the class watched him stand hesitantly at the door, lowered his head for a while, then walked quickly to his seat, packed the books and test papers into the school bag with a smart and swift action, and finally kicked him Stool, covered the desk, and ran out of the classroom without looking back.

He Xin climbed over the wall one step ahead of him and ran home. He rode his heavy motorcycle and waited at the back gate of the school they had agreed upon. Li Yanqi's movements over the wall were neat, fast and steady, and he looked like an absolute veteran.

"It's been a long time since I climbed over the wall." After standing still, he wiped the dust off his sneakers, took the helmet thrown by He Xin, and put it on with a wave of his hand.

He Xin was dressed in black, and the school trousers wrapped his long and thin legs. He stepped on the gas pedal lightly on tiptoe, and reached out to move Li Yanqi's hand to his waist.

"Let's go, Brother Tag."

"where to?"

"What do you say?"

Li Yanqi took a breath, raised his arms and slid his helmet off, and galloped across an alley, stirring up a tumult of dust. It was a flat and deserted autumn afternoon, the wind was strong, and the sky seemed to be clouded. There was a layer of dust, and the sparrows on the branches were frightened away by the sound of the huge engine. They drove, put aside all their troubles and joys, didn't care about anything, and drove straight along this road.

"Where are you going, boyfriend?" He Xin shouted at the top of his voice.

"With you, you can go anywhere." Li Yanqi also shouted.
