waste

On the day when the grades came out, Shu Yuan was in a calm mood. He knew what level he was, and he was not overjoyed when the grades he found were more than ten points higher than he expected.

He turned off the computer, looked at the clip art in front of him, and after a long silence, he removed the frame from the wall and locked it together with the honorary awards he had won from the dance competition.

After filling in the application form for the college entrance examination, he ignored his mother's objection and filled in the A major in the first choice, and wrote down to obey the assignment.

Because of this, Liu Mian had a fight with him, thinking that he didn't have enough ability to protect himself because of the old shit that he didn't want to bring up again.

"If I don't learn to be independent again, I will be useless." Shu Yuan refused to listen to the persuasion, and submitted a voluntary report in front of Liu Mian, "Mom, let me go out and venture."

At the same time, Li Xu walked out of a completely unfamiliar school just after completing the registration procedures for re-study.Together with him, Li Wenxuan pressed Li Xu's back and asked, "It's hard to repeat the third year of high school, why don't you choose to study at home?"

"Only in school can we use a strict system to restrain ourselves," Li Xu said. "It's too relaxed at home. I'm afraid that if I relax, I will forget the goal."

As soon as he got home, Li Xu received a message from Shi Chengjin in the addicted group, saying that tonight was the recording of the draft national finals, he was in a panic and needed cheers from his buddies.

The competition area was not in this city, and only Gu Xiang was free among the buddies, so Ren Liao flew over to watch the scene, accompanied by Shen Zhaoshi.

"What are you panicking, your reputation has grown so much, Weibo has gained a lot of followers, right?" Han Qiyun joked after work.

Song Yuenian predicted: "It is estimated that as soon as the competition is over, an agency company will come to you."

"Come on." Li Xuai said to Shi Chengjin.

Shi Chengjin giggled and responded one by one. When it was Li Xu's turn, he thought about it and didn't get angry with the other party anymore: "I obey, Li Baba."

He took a screenshot of the chat interface and posted it on Moments, along with a photo with the people around him: "I will do my best tonight~"

Shu Yuan just slipped into this circle of friends, and when he saw Li Xu's profile picture in the screenshot, he felt a slight tingle in his heart.He put down his phone and continued with his work——

Recently, he has a new hobby, which he learned from online videos, making crystal glue.Most of the girls do this kind of handiwork. He saw Tong Ran do it when he was a sophomore in high school, and the finished product was very beautiful.

During the long vacation, Shu Yuan scoured the Internet for a bunch of tools, made a lot of gadgets according to the tutorials, and sold a lot of them.

Once he was proficient, he wanted to try the more difficult one, making Li Xu a sea of ​​Mataking Island.

Colorful corals, blue starfish, wandering turtles and schools of fish, sandy beaches and wooden houses on the sea.If Shu Yuan was not satisfied with the finished product, he would redo it. Every time a semi-defective product was destroyed, he would check the date on his phone, for fear of missing Li Xu's birthday.

On the day when the acceptance letter arrived at home, Shu Yuan just finished the work.

Liu Mian said that she didn't want Shu Yuan to go to a place too far away from home to study, but when she got the express delivery and opened the uniquely designed notice, she couldn't help being happy for Shu Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, come and see!"

"Okay." Shu Yuan carefully put the Sea Cube into the acrylic box, and then packed it in a paper bag.

He took the admission notice, glanced at it, put it on the table, and went out with the bag: "Mom, I'll go to Li Xu's house."

"Which school did the kid get into?" Liu Mian asked.

"I don't know," Shu Yuan said, "I'm going to ask him."

Since Li Xu broke up with him, Shu Yuan hasn't been out for many days.The weather is good today, the clouds are arranged in layers under the light blue sky, each piece is hung with sunshine, it is sunny but not too sunny.

The mood that had been gloomy for several days improved with the weather. Shu Yuan took the bus with his bag and passed Qinghe Middle School on the way. He couldn't help but think of the scene of Li Xu driving him out of the school gate majestically on a street car.

He doesn't even feel that he has graduated, as if after this summer vacation, he will go back to Qinghe to study. During the day, when he is at the same table with Li Xu, he is occasionally held by the other party under the table, and at night, he and Li Xu will squeeze into a small single room. They hug each other and sleep on the bed.

The security guard of Yuege Villa saw his face from a distance, opened and closed his eyes and then opened the door to let him in, Shu Yuan felt embarrassed, kept saying thank you to him, and then quickened his pace towards Li's house.

Although there is a full week before Li Xu's birthday, Shu Yuan wants to see him right away, deliver a gift to him, and tell him solemnly that he does not want to break up with him.

He wants to sleep on the cloud bed made by Li Xu, covered with soft time, and watch the sun, moon and stars with Li Xu, nest in Li Xu's arms and whisper a bunch of charming words that only the other party can hear.

In the yard in front of Li's house, there were servants cutting the grass. Shu Yuan ran along the path and greeted people politely: "Aunt Wu, is Li Xu at home?"

Compared to Aunt Tian, ​​Aunt Wu seemed less familiar with Shu Yuan. She pointed to the upstairs and said, "He's in the bedroom. He stays in there every day and doesn't go out to play."

Shu Yuan thanked her, and ran to the gate of the villa. As soon as she stepped on the steps, the door opened. Li Jue walked out holding her cell phone. When she went down the steps, she raised her head and met Shu Yuan's eyes.

"Why are you here?" Li Jue put away his phone.

After all, there was a festival, Shu Yuan didn't want to talk to him, brushed his shoulder to push the door that was not fully closed, Li Jue hurriedly grabbed the handle and closed the door: "My brother is not at home."

"Aunt Wu said he was upstairs." Shu Yuan retorted.

Li Xu stood in front of the door: "If I say I'm not here, I won't be here."

"Why are you so childish?" Shu Yuan tilted his head and saw Li Xu's streetcar parked in the garage, "His car is over there."

"He said he didn't want anyone to disturb you," Li Jue looked at Shu Yuan's pale face, and shifted his gaze to the bag in Shu Yuan's hand, "Do you want to send him something, I'll help him. "

Speaking of reaching out to take it, Shu Yuan quickly put the bag behind her back: "I'll deliver it myself, you let me in."

"I told you that he doesn't want to see—" the sound of the door opening behind Li Jue cut off the end of Li Jue's words, and Li Xu leaned against the door with folded arms, looking at Shu Yuan with a little alienation in his eyes: "You go back."

The dense stinging pain in my heart that I deliberately ignored couldn't be hidden, like tens of thousands of thin needles poked in different corners at the same time, Shu Yuan seemed to be able to hear the sound of blood gurgling.

As the chief culprit who indirectly separated the two, Li Jue said with difficulty when Li Xu and Shu Yuan looked at each other silently: "How about..."

"Just do what you have to do, don't worry about our business." Li Xu gave him a look.

Li Jue nodded and hurried away.

Shu Yuan was still nailed to the spot, and the Sea Cube he had worked so hard to make was so heavy that he could barely lift it.

"Go back, don't come looking for me." Li Xu repeated again, this time with a more decisive tone than before.

Obviously her appearance and voice have not changed, but Shu Yuan feels that Li Xu in front of her is very strange.All the beautiful plans he had made when he came here were all shattered. He stood at the bottom of the steps and looked up at Li Xu with a sad expression: "Don't you like me?"

Li Xu subconsciously wanted to deny it, her lips moved and then stopped talking, she turned her face away and said nothing.

"I thought I could trust you." Shu Yuan's voice was very low, he didn't look at Li Xu any more, and stared down at the toe of his shoe slightly raised and lowered.

"This is a birthday present for you in advance. If you don't like it, just..." Shu Yuan couldn't say "throw it away if you don't like it". He worked so hard, why did Li Xu throw it away if he didn't like it?He changed his words, raised his head and said viciously, "If you don't like it, return it to me."

As if he was afraid that Li Xu would ask him to take the things back immediately, he turned his head and ran away. He ran out of the yard and disappeared without a trace. Sad look.

When Auntie Wu came back after cutting the grass, she saw Li Xu still standing by the door in a daze, and asked in surprise, "Are you planning to go out?"

"No." Li Xu stood up straight, and took a few steps forward to pick up Shu Yuan's bag on the ground, "I'm tired of reading, come out and look at the plants."

The things in his hands were quite heavy, and Li Xu didn't realize that his steps up the stairs were much faster than usual. As soon as he got back to the bedroom, he sat on the bed and carefully lifted the square box out of the paper bag.

The crystal clear blue filled his field of vision, Li Xu's eyes felt hot, and he went back to last July in a trance, the moist sea breeze blowing across his face, and the soft and warm fine sand under his feet, Shu would like to describe it for him under the sea. The heartbeat, and the satisfaction of walking on the trailing beach hand in hand is more than anything.

Clearing away the clutter on the desk, Li Xu put the Sea Cube in the most conspicuous place. The only motivation in his life was nothing more than that. If...if we can meet again in the future, he can still be a rival to Shu Yuan People, just take it easy and chase people back.

On a scorching August day, Li Xu dragged his suitcase into the high school where he was repeating his studies.The buddies all know that he is repeating the study. Ah Yi, who has experience in this field, told him that he must have a strong sense of faith in the year of repeating the study to be able to withstand it, otherwise he will easily become decadent, and his life may be mixed. Not as good as my former self.

For the first time in his life, Li Xu felt lonely. He sent himself into the cage with his own hands. He didn't know what would happen next June.

Shu Yuan also embarked on an unfamiliar journey alone. In mid-August, he booked a high-speed rail ticket to the city where University A is located. Before the 30th, he had to complete the admission procedures, and on the 31st he began a half-month military training for freshmen.

Shu Yuan went back to school a few days in advance, accompanied by Shu Shaokong to the high-speed rail station, Liu Mian couldn't get away from work, and didn't go with him, but none of the things he told on the phone were left behind.

Shu Shaokong was not as verbose as Liu Mian. Before going through the security check, he stuffed a bank card into his son's pocket and said, "I heard that the average price over there is a little higher than ours. Don't use it sparingly. If you don't have enough, just speak up. You know." without?"

"I know," Shu Yuan fumbled in his pocket, trying to take out the card and return it to his father, "Mom already transferred the money to me yesterday."

"It's okay, keep it in your pocket, it's your college fund." Shu Shaokong patted him on the shoulder, "Go, don't miss the time, call home when you arrive."

After passing the security check, Shu Yuan kept turning her head until her father's face was overwhelmed by the crowd.He was carrying a schoolbag, dragging two suitcases, one large and one small, and squeezed onto the high-speed rail dripping with sweat.

The noise of babies crying all around and the voices of men cracking sunflower seeds mixed together, and there was no silence in the car.Shu Yuan leaned against the window, looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, his mind seemed to be bewitched, and Li Xu's clear voice echoed again.

"You don't leave me."
