my summer

Time passed quickly after the spring outing, May [-]st and June [-]st came one after another, and I didn’t feel much, and it was the end of the term.

The second half of the semester often passes faster than the first half of the semester, just like the speed of the car and the same road conditions, the return journey always feels faster than the outbound journey.I wonder if everyone feels the same way?

In the half month before the final exam, we were faced with a major choice, which was to divide arts and sciences.

According to everyone's intention, the grade will retain the original class as a science class, and reorganize a new liberal arts class. After the second year of high school, liberal arts students will directly enter the new class.This also means that if I choose to study liberal arts, I will only be in the same class with Xia Zhi for less than half a month.

From the next semester onwards, I can’t just turn my head to the right during class and see Xia Zhi, and I can’t just call out after class and drag people to the toilet or a small store.I don't know how long it will take me to get used to it... maybe I won't get used to it all the time.

I stared at the subject volunteer form on the table, lost in thought.

"It's just a piece of paper. If you look at it again, you will see a hole." Lei Ming said from the side.

"I'm... a little tangled..." I'm telling the truth.

"What are you struggling with?" Lei Ming expressed surprise, "You don't choose liberal arts like me? Didn't we discuss it in junior high school, and we will all study literature in the future?"

"I used to think so..." I said, "but now... I kind of want to study science..."

"Don't, Kuafu, you obviously have better grades in liberal arts than science, and you like history and geography so much." Lei Ming was once serious, "I just couldn't study, so I just picked a simpler liberal arts to fool around, you are different , you are born to study liberal arts."

Yeah?I was born to study liberal arts?

Maybe Lei Ming is exaggerating when he said this, but if I ask myself, I am indeed more interested in liberal arts than science, and my memory is better than computational reasoning.It should be easier to study liberal arts than science.

But Xia Zhi, without even thinking about his toes, I knew he would definitely choose science.

After the first class of evening self-study, the summer solstice pulled me outside under the dense shade of trees.The street lights here can't shine in, and it's so dark that it's hard to see your fingers. It's very suitable for lonely men and widows to do something.If I hadn't been holding back something in my heart at the time, I might have thought that in this secret atmosphere, lonely men and widowed men can do something.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked.

"Molested you." He grabbed my hand and said lightly.

I broke away from his hand, "Speak to the business."

He looked at me with dark eyes for a while, and then said: "I know you have your own ideas about the selection of liberal arts and sciences, and I shouldn't interfere too much. I just want to say, please follow it." Your own inner will, don't make choices for anyone, it's related to your future life, you have to make up your own mind."

"Well, I know..." I responded in a low voice, feeling overwhelmed and unable to relax for a moment.

After a while, I asked him: "Xia Zhi, what is your ideal?"

He didn't hesitate at all, as if the answer had taken root in his heart for a long time: "I want to study medicine and become a doctor."

Oh doctor... the last vague hope in my heart was dashed.

I didn't hand in the volunteer form until the last minute.Teacher Li glanced at my form, then at me, didn't speak, just showed me a shallow smile.

Back on my seat, I met Lei Ming’s curious eyes, and I tried to relax my tone and said, “Brother, I’m going to let you down again.”

When he was discouraged, he limply lay down on the table, with a mournful face: "Kuafu, you betrayed me again, and I will destroy you on behalf of the sun!"

"Come on, come on," I said, "Would you like to treat you to a big meal after the exam?"

Lei Ming gave him a sad look, and said in a low voice, "I want to order whatever you want, and I will eat until you go bankrupt!"

"Okay! No problem!" I patted my chest and said.

After a while, Lei Ming sat up straight, looked past me at Xia Zhi's empty seat, cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "What, I just asked casually... Did you choose science for Xia Zhi? "

I shook my head duplicity: "No."

Lei Ming had an "I don't believe it" expression on his face, I buried my head in pretending to do the questions, and said nothing more.

If it is said that it is not for the summer solstice to learn theory, you probably wouldn't believe it, even I myself wouldn't believe it.

However, not entirely for him.

I plan to major in English in the future. I can apply for both liberal arts and science majors. There is no limit. To take a step back, if my score does not reach the line for English majors, I can only apply for other majors. There are more science majors than liberal arts majors. More selective.

Also, class 012 will continue to be kept as a key science class, and the teacher will not change.The liberal arts class is composed of students who study literature from various classes, and the teachers are all reassigned, and their qualifications and level must not be better than the teachers of 012.So out of this very practical consideration, I don't want to give up easily.

The most important point, of course, is for the summer solstice.

Not only to be in the same class with him now, but also to be admitted to the same university with him in the future.In case he applied for a science college instead of a comprehensive university, wouldn't I, a liberal arts student, be about to cry?

After the exam, the whole school organized a general cleaning.Our class was assigned to clean a whole row of lecture halls in the old teaching building.

Since the building is an old building, the lecture theater has naturally aged for a certain period of time.As soon as the door was opened, there was a strong smell of dust.The thick crimson curtains almost blocked all the light, and the classroom was very dark.I turned on the light, looked up and glanced around casually, and there were a lot of spider webs.Xia Zhi stretched out his fingers and swiped on the table a few times, the trace of the word "cleaning" was so clear.

Well, I'm a little busy now.

According to the assignment of the labor committee, Lei Ming, I and a few other boys were responsible for cleaning the doors and windows, and Xia Zhi and the others were responsible for cleaning the desktop.

I stood on the table and wiped the high glass, and Xia Zhi was cleaning the table below. We went up and down, fighting against the dust.

"In the future," Xia Zhi said suddenly, "I won't have the chance to clean up with you."

I looked down at him, "Who said that?"

"Huh?" He also looked up at me.

I knelt down, faced him face to face, and said with a smile: "There are more opportunities for us to clean up together."

He was obviously surprised, "Really?"

I nodded, "When have I lied to you?"

"Is this your own decision?" Xia Zhi asked word by word.

"Well, of course," I quickly wiped the side of his face with a dirty rag in my hand, "I lied to you as a puppy."

A smile gradually appeared on his originally stiff face, like a sunflower slowly blooming.

The curtains have been drawn, and the camphor tree outside the window casts mottled shadows in the golden sunset, just covering the two of us.Cicada in the distance began to sing an unknown song again.I looked at the flickering light and shadow on Xia Zhi's face, as if I saw a fiery summer.
