Home Notes

It was after three o'clock in the afternoon when the bus arrived in Z city. Li Shangshui got off the bus with a dizzy head. Where, shall I take you?"

Li Shangshui frowned and pulled his arm out, then turned his head and walked away without saying a word, but the driver raised his voice behind his ears and said: "What kind of quality are you? You look like a bumpkin! Hey beauty, go Where, take my car, my car is cheap..."

The speed of this face-changing is really amazing. Although Li Shangshui was slandering in his heart, he showed no expression on his face. He took his luggage in the cargo area of ​​the bus and followed the instructions in the bus station to leave the station.

Today is the weekend, and it is the day when Z University starts school. After leaving the bus station, Li Shangshui was really taken aback by the congested urban area—the driver was right, he is a country bumpkin—he had never I've seen so many people and cars mixed together, each refusing to give in, as if they were about to confront each other forever.

Faced with this situation, the country bumpkins who entered the city for the first time were quite at a loss. They could only open their schoolbags and find the admission guide attached to the admission notice.

The sun in early September was still too powerful, and Li Shangshui was sweating from the heat. When he looked down at the registration guide, a drop of sweat slid down his smooth forehead and hung on his eyelashes, and then fell down, like a drop of tear fainted on the guide superior.

Li Shangshui was stunned, thinking that he was crying, he hurriedly raised his hand to touch his eyes, but realized that he was thinking too much when he didn't touch the tears.

But do you really think too much?

It wasn't until he stood on the bustling street that he felt a huge sense of strangeness and fear surrounding him.He never complained, but at this time he was really shocked by the situation in front of him, and the driver's words just now kept lingering in his ears. The word "hillies" made him unable to ignore it. It would be a lie to say that he was not sad.

"It's really hypocritical." He sneered in his heart.

Seeing that the welcome school bus marked in the guidebook was on the path turning left at the gate of the bus station, Li Shangshui breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked on the path.

It was easy to get close to the school bus, but was blocked by a thin old lady.

"Boy, buy a map?"

Li Shangshui dared to raise his eyebrows at the driver, but he couldn't show his face to the old lady.The weather is so hot, if the conditions at home are a little better, who is willing to let such an old man come out to sell things?

But Li Shangshui felt that he didn't need this thing. He would have time to learn about the city in the future, and he didn't want to spend extra money, even though this map didn't cost much.

"Grandma, I..."

Li Shangshui didn't know how to explain that he didn't need a map, but he couldn't bear to refuse.

"Grandma, give me one."

A refreshing voice came from beside him, like the mountain spring in my hometown, cool but not cold.

Li Shangshui watched as the old lady tremblingly took out a map and handed it to the person beside her, and his gaze followed.

"Grandma, here is five yuan. You can spend the remaining two yuan to buy a bottle of water. The weather is so hot, so don't get tired."

The man held the map in one hand, and handed five yuan to the old lady in the other. His smile was as clean and fresh as his voice, and it still looked like the mountain spring water in his hometown, which made people look comfortable and comfortable.

Li Shangshui only left home for less than a day, but he felt longing and longing for the mountain spring water at home. He felt that this was a bit abnormal-after all, being away from home was his only belief in high school for three years.

After the man smiled and said goodbye to the old lady who was in a hurry to thank him, he turned to look at Li Shangshui, still smiling warmly.

Li Shangshui has always thought that this kind of smile is fake, he is this kind of alienated smile to strangers, but when this kind of smile hangs on the face of the person in front of him, it has a different taste, and it becomes irresistible, making him have a kind of The idea of ​​being close to it.This, he thought, was even more abnormal.

"Student, are you also from University Z?"

"Ah."

"What a coincidence? Me too. I'm from the law school. How about you?" The man's smile became brighter, so bright that Li Shangshui didn't dare to look at him directly.

"I'm in law school too."

"Hahaha, what a fate. My name is Ren Yang, please take care of me in the future! It's too hot here, hurry up and get on the bus." Ren Yang said and walked towards the school bus.

Li Shangshui had no choice but to pick up his luggage and follow him. After thinking about it, he still said, "My name is Li Shangshui."

"What is the relationship between Li Shangyin and you?"

Seeing the astonishment on Li Shangshui's face, Ren Yang laughed again, "Just kidding, you are really interesting. Hey, did you come alone, your parents didn't accompany you?"

Li Shangshui was a little embarrassed by his joke, and wanted to cover it up with a smile, but when he heard his last sentence, the smile on his face froze, and a hint of unhappiness appeared in his heart.But he knew that Ren Yang had no malicious intentions, so he could only forcefully continue the laugh, still cherishing the words like gold: "Well, no."

While talking, the two had arrived at the school bus, and Ren Yang got on the bus first.

As soon as Li Shangshui took his luggage to the back of the car, a tall and thin girl in a short skirt jumped out of the orientation office. The girl excitedly held her mobile phone and said to Li Shangshui, "Student? Come on, let's take a photo with my senior."

Then he couldn't help but put his arm around Li Shangshui, who hadn't reacted yet, and took a selfie with a "click".

"Wow, junior, you are so handsome and cute!"

"Fantasy, you still want old cows to eat young grass!" A short-haired boy in a black T-shirt walked over, and at the same time sneered at the behavior of the girl in a short skirt, "I come here to seek personal gain, and my apprentice is here!" Still not doing serious business?"

He said that he put Li Shangshui's luggage into the trunk, and then solemnly patted Li Shangshui on the shoulder: "Student, do your best. Although there are many beauties in our school, as a man, you still have to focus on your career."

"Tch, aren't you afraid that the handsome guy will steal your chance to find a girlfriend?" The girl in the short skirt finally found a chance to retort.

Li Shangshui looked at the two bickering and felt very naive. He stood there not knowing what to say, so he could only say "Thank you" with a smile, turned around and walked towards the car door.

"Goodbye, junior, I have a chance to send you a group photo~" The girl in the short skirt reluctantly waved her hand at him, then turned her head and said to the black T-boy, "Tsk, this kind of junior is a rarity at first glance. Look cold, in fact, he is not a human being, you can see that he blushed obviously just now, alas, I don’t know which girl will be cheaper in the future~”

"Don't think about it, it's definitely not you!"

"...Let's be with each other, don't even think about that cute girl just now."

The voices of the two really didn't seem to be whispering. Li Shangshui heard everything in his ears, and he almost turned around in embarrassment.

He knew that his appearance was not bad, but it was the first time he was dragged to take a group photo. Are all the people in the city so familiar?Then he might be regarded as an outlier here again, and maybe he can find a little familiarity of being alienated by his classmates in his hometown. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little funny.

He felt it was funny in his heart, and a little smile appeared on his face unconsciously, which happened to be captured by Ren Yang who had taken a good seat for him.

Ren Yang beckoned him to go over, while he moved to the position by the window.

"Why are you laughing so happily? Have you met a beautiful girl?"

"It's nothing." Li Shangshui was still shocked at the fact that someone had reserved a seat for him—this was the first time, and it seemed that today was destined to be an unforgettable day—when he heard Ren Yang's question, he was still habitually perfunctory.

Fortunately, Ren Yang didn't ask too much, he took out the earphones in his bag and asked, "Do you listen to music?"

"no thank you."

"Why are you so polite?"

Li Shangshui heard that this sentence was purely an exclamation, so he didn't answer.Ren Yang didn't speak any more, just plugged in the earphones, leaned against the seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Li Shangshui looked out the still crowded street through the car window, and suddenly felt very tired, as if he had traveled a long distance and could not see where the end point was, and the feeling of powerlessness was lingering; However, there is no place for a heart to rest...

"Still so hypocritical." He said in his heart again, and then he looked away, but he saw Ren Yang's face from the corner of his eye.

Ren Yang's eyelashes are very long, and when he closes his eyes, the long eyelashes cover the slightly curled end of his eyes, and they tremble slightly because he is asleep, making him look very well-behaved and pitiful.

"Like a girl's eyes." Li Shangshui thought.

He was about to look away, but Ren Yang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him, and the two eyes met immediately.

Li Shangshui turned his head in embarrassment, unable to explain why he was staring at them, so he could only change the subject stiffly: "Does the school bus not open until it is full?"

"I just wanted to ask you if you were in a hurry? Before you came, I heard from the senior sister who welcomed the new students that this was the last school bus to pick up new students, and the traffic jam is very serious now. I guess I will wait a little longer. If you are bored, you can Look at the map."

Ren Yang didn't notice anything strange about him, so he lowered his head and found the map and gave it to Li Shangshui.

Li Shangshui took it in a timely manner, and began to study without hearing anything outside the window.

"Ren Yang, is this your friend?"

A sweet-looking girl lay on the back of the front seat and asked Ren Yang with her head tilted. Her round eyes looked back and forth between Li Shangshui and Ren Yang, which seemed innocent.

"There are so many people you haven't seen before. This is my classmate from the same college I just met, Li Shangshui, isn't he handsome? Shangshui, this is my high school classmate, Xu Ruxin. I came to the station today to pick up this young lady. "

When Li Shangshui heard Ren Yang call him that, goosebumps immediately appeared on his body - even his grandma had never called him that - but he still managed to smile at Xu Ruxin, probably she was the "short skirt senior" just now. cute girl".

Xu Ruxin immediately responded with a bright smile, "Are you in the same school as Ren Yang? You really have the abstinence of a lawyer, haha, I'm from the School of Economics." After a pause, she suddenly realized: "I remember which one in China? The place is also called Shangshui, are you from there?"

"Xueba, it's been three months since the college entrance examination, and you haven't returned the knowledge you learned to the teacher?" Ren Yang was a little dumbfounded.

"No, my family is in H province, and Shangshui should be a northern city." Li Shangshui replied solemnly.

"...I really convinced you two." Ren Yang rolled his eyes and leaned back helplessly, "I'm so sleepy, I'll sleep for a while, call me when I get to school."

The cute girl Xu Ruxin said in a low voice, "What a pig", and turned around to rest with her eyes closed.

Li Shangshui was not too sleepy after a day of driving, although he was very tired.At least for now, the classmates I just met are not too difficult to get along with. Maybe this is the difference between urban people and rural people. They will not just explore a person's past, investigate other people's lives, and live a frank and real life. .

What he needs is this kind of environment, without gossips ringing in his ears, he can completely put aside the past, get himself out of the state of making enemies on all sides, and just be a normal person.

Hope this is a good start.
