New love

Midsummer in City C is hot and dry, the hot weather continues, and the scorching sun makes people afraid to go out.

There is a canteen on the east side of Anhe Lane. In front of the canteen, there is a tree with lush branches and leaves for shade, and under the tree is an old-fashioned freezer.

The right side of the freezer is the freezer area, where ice cream is placed, and the left side is the refrigerated area, where there are all kinds of iced sodas, non-branded Wumao, and Qixi a piece.Every time Zhou Yunhuai passed by the door, he would bring four bottles of Hedy to the third floor for everyone to drink.

Lu Nianzhi doesn't like to drink that stuff, so he hasn't touched it much.

But Jiang Yun likes it very much. He buys a bottle to drink at home every now and then, and returns the bottle at the canteen the next day.

Recently, the academic tasks are heavy, and the teacher procrastinates every day. She doesn't come back until after seven o'clock every day, and there is still a lot of homework to do in the evening.Fortunately, I will have a holiday in a few days. Although the holiday is relatively short, I can barely catch my breath.

Lu Nianzhi noticed this, and Jiang Yun came back later and later, sometimes even the four of them left without Jiang Yun.

It was too hot, and Aunt Zou's fat cat didn't come out very often, only running around the neighborhood twice after the sun went down.

Lu Nianzhi is used to blowing the wind on the balcony and looking into the distance.

The surrounding old buildings are row upon row, densely packed everywhere, looking quite old, and even the air is filled with the charm of the old days.

Zhou Yunhuai and the others were discussing new songs with great enthusiasm, planning to participate in a local music festival, and wanted to perform on stage.The planner of the music festival is a friend of Jiang Zhouxu's father, who readily opened the back door for them, on the condition that they write a satisfying song.

Lu Nianzhi didn't have much interest in this, and didn't care at all.

He felt that she was acting weird these days, seeing that she had been standing on the balcony for a long time, Jiang Zhouxu yelled at the top of his voice.Lu Nianzhi turned around and glanced at the three of them.

Xu Min asked loudly: "Nianzhi, it's so hot outside, you've been standing there for a long time, what are you looking at?"

Lu Nianzhi didn't answer, went in, and said: "Blowing air, the room is too stuffy."

They didn't believe it and joked a few words.

Jiang Zhouxu asked Lu Nianzhi to help compose the music. He had no inspiration and was stuck in one place all afternoon.

The four stayed in the house until dark, played and sang, and repeatedly found the tune for the new song. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when they packed up their things and prepared to leave.Xu Min proposed to eat at the barbecue restaurant outside the alley tonight, and everyone agreed.

Jiang Yun hadn't come back from school yet, and the door of the old house was closed.

When he walked out of the alley, Lu Nianzhi looked back with his guitar on his back, and someone came over from the other side, but they were not familiar faces, but Aunt Zou and a middle-aged woman.

Zhou Yunhuai tugged at her, "Don't look, let's go."

Lu Nianzhi looked back, turned and followed them.

In that year, Anhe Lane was still undefeated. It was the busiest time from nine in the evening to the early morning. Business is booming.

The barbecue restaurant is run by a husband and wife, and the boss greets the guests in a local dialect.

The four of them ordered food for a table, and also ordered a grilled fish. The three of Zhou Yunhuai and the others ate happily, but Lu Nianzhi was not hungry, so he didn't move his chopsticks much.

Nearly halfway through the meal, Zhou Yunhuai waved for the proprietress to bring over iced soda, Lu Nianzhi followed to look at the proprietress, but at this moment he saw someone a few meters away.

Next to the barbecue shop is a stall selling jelly and cold cakes, and Jiang Yun is standing in front of the stall.She didn't wear a ponytail tonight, she just braided her hair into a random strand hanging behind her back, and she wore a white loose T-shirt with hot pants, which looked simple and clean.

Lu Nian was taken aback and couldn't help but look at it twice.

Jiang Yun came out to buy jelly, she just finished school, she left the book at home and went out to buy some food to go back.

The stall owner knew Jiang Yun, who was a resident of the alley. When he saw her, he greeted her cheerfully and asked with a smile, "I came out so late, did I delay at school?"

"It's going to be self-study at night, and school doesn't end until nine o'clock." Jiang Yun said, handing over the money.

The stall owner bowed his head to change, and said casually: "After this summer vacation, you will be in the third year of high school. You must be busy with your studies. It will be easy to survive this year after a little hard work. Your grades are so good, you will definitely be able to get into a good university, and you will come out to work later. Enough."

Jiang Yun just smiled.

The stall owner gave her the change and asked, "Which university do you want to take next year?"

"I don't know yet, we'll see how it plays then." Jiang Yun said.

"There is always a goal, C major? Or go out of the province?"

……

Lu Nianzhi listened here, and silently took a sip of the iced soda.

Before leaving, Jiang Yun finally replied: "If you can pass the exam, it should be C University."

The stall owner said: "Then you can pass the exam."

It was also at this time that Zhou Yunhuai suddenly asked: "Nian Zhi, which university did you apply for first?"

Lu Nianzhi came back to his senses and paused, "Big C."

Jiang Zhouxu was surprised: "Your old man really won't let you go abroad, are you so afraid that you won't come back after running away?"

"My uncle is also here." Lu Nianzhi said.

Jiang Zhouxu murmured: "I said that the old man is really, very rigid. If you go abroad to study in college, the choice is not much better than that in China. You have to be tied down. If you don't study in S city, you have to come here. Feelings are in the hands of Mr. Deng. you……"

Lu Nianzhi didn't listen to what he said, turned his head to look at the stall next to him, and then scanned his surroundings.Jiang Yun had already entered the alley and disappeared.

This barbecue meal didn't end until early in the morning, and it was almost one o'clock when I returned to Mr. Deng's place.Teacher Deng was still awake and was preparing lesson plans. When he saw someone coming in, he looked up, but he didn't speak.

At that time, Lu Nianzhi was not close to this uncle, and he didn't say a few words when they met.

Hanging the guitar on the wall, Lu Nianzhi poured a glass of water to drink. When she walked past Mr. Deng, she suddenly remembered something and asked about Jiang Yun unintentionally. At that time, she didn't know Jiang Yun's name. On the other side of Anhe Lane, I met a person who was a student taught by Mr. Deng and had dinner here.

Mr. Deng was able to know who it was from these descriptions. He still remembered this student, and immediately smiled, "You said Jiang Yun, she lives there, it seems to be a small building in the alley."

Unexpectedly, he still remembered, Lu Nianzhi was a little surprised.

Not only that, Mr. Deng also knew Jiang Yun very well, he seemed to be in a good mood, so he said a few more words.

Jiang Yun is very popular with the teachers at school. She is a good seedling. Even though she did not choose the liberal arts to stay in Teacher Deng's class, Teacher Deng still likes her, and she is full of praise when she mentions it.

At the end of the talk, he was more moved by Jiang Yun's native family environment, saying that Jiang Yun is not as happy as Lu Nianzhi and the others, who have so many choices, and it is easier for children from ordinary families to go to school, so in the next year, they will be more happy. Jiang Yun is particularly important.

Mr. Deng had no intention of alluding to anything, but just said it casually.However, Lu Nianzhi had her own ideas. She said nothing, and went upstairs after drinking the water.

In the next few days, Lu Nianzhi didn't go to Anhe Lane.

Zhou Yunhuai couldn't go to the house because he had something to do at home, so the band practice was suspended.

However, Jiang Zhouxu is still writing new songs and insists on grinding out the tunes.Lu Nianzhi didn't care about him and let him do whatever he wanted.

On the next Sunday, Jiang Zhouxu finished the new song and asked everyone to gather in the building, intending to show Lu Nianzhi and the three of them, and then name the new song after it was finalized.

Lu Nianzhi left and saw Jiang Yun again.

One is still on the balcony, and the other is walking through the alley, without socializing.

The new song written by Jiang Zhouxu is good, with a slow rhythm and a folk style.However, the name selection did not go well. The four of them dawdled until dark without discussing the result, and finally decided to continue tomorrow.

The weather was cool the next day, and Lu Nianzhi came late. As soon as she entered the third floor, Jiang Zhouxu threw her a pen and a piece of paper, and asked her to write a name for the new song on the paper. The practice ended later and everyone went together Vote and choose one of the four names.

That day was the last time Jiang Yun came back, and it was also the last time the four of them stayed in the building.

Jiang Yun came back during their break, and the sky was already dark.

At that time, the street lamps in the alleys were not as dilapidated as later, and the light was not dim yellow, but quiet and soft white.

It was Aunt Zou's three-flowered cat who went to meet Jiang Yun. It circled around and meowed continuously.

Jiang Yun stopped for a while for it, squatted down, reached out to touch its back, and scratched its chin.

Sanhuamao seemed to enjoy it very much, so it stopped barking, and rubbed its head against her palm obediently.

Jiang Yun took out food to feed it, and it grabbed Jiang Yun's hand and didn't let go.

Lu Nianzhi stood on the balcony, looking there against the light.

The white paper that Jiang Zhouxu gave was folded into a paper airplane, and it went down the wind, first made a bend in the air, then turned a few times, and landed about one meter behind Jiang Yun. .

Jiang Yun didn't realize it, and he was all on Sha Mao.

After feeding, she stroked the Sanhuamao's head comfortingly, got up, and left without looking back.

Lu Nianzhi watched her gradually go away from the balcony.

The three-flowered cat was still in the alley. It carefully circled the paper airplane for half a circle and stretched out its paws to scratch it.

After standing outside for 2 minutes, Lu Nianzhi went in empty-handed.

Jiang Zhouxu asked, "Where are the things?"

She responded, found another piece of paper to write on, and finally handed it to Jiang Zhouxu.

"The title of the song you want."

Jiang Zhouxu took it.

There are only four words on the white paper.

— warm clouds.

The author has something to say: "Xinhuan" was originally called "Warm Cloud".
