Stop loss

Chen Qiye and Qin Ge came out of their homeroom teachers' offices almost at the same time. They looked at each other, and Chen Qiye walked towards Qin Ge first.

Then Qin Ge spoke first: "Teacher Pei didn't say anything."

Chen Qiye shook his head and asked, "Mr. Jiang didn't scold you, did he?"

"I'm used to being scolded by him. He always said that I was in the top [-] in the school, and I did the disaster of the bottom [-] in the school." Qin Ge smiled, but the atmosphere between the two was still not active. subtlety.

They went to the small supermarket to buy milk and bread to fill their stomachs.After eating, Qin Ge bought two Menglongs, one of which was given to Chen Qiye.The two sat side by side on the lounge chair outside the supermarket, Chen Xiye ate more and more slowly, Qin Ge touched his elbow: "Hey, lick the bottom, the chocolate will melt."

Chen Qiye came back to his senses and shook his body, the chocolate wrapped in the ice cream turned into juice and dripped onto the back of his fingers.He changed his hand to hold the ice cream, brought his hooked fingers to his mouth, and licked the two dots of chocolate.

Then he looked sideways at Qin Ge, Qin Ge's Adam's apple visibly moved, and then he looked forward quite deliberately to avoid the momentary stare.

"You..." Chen Xiye licked his lips, wanting to ask Qin Ge a question.Pei Rengui told him that Qin Ge might leave the country in a few months.Mr. Qin is rich and well-off, and he wants his grandson to study in a private tenor's high school abroad for another year, so that the chances of being admitted to a prestigious school are greater, and it is also conducive to adapting to life in a foreign country.

Pei Rengui also told Chen Qiye that when he was only teaching ordinary classes, he once had a female student who performed exceptionally well in the high school entrance examination and was admitted to Wenzhong.The child graduated from a junior high school in a village and town. After entering Wenzhong, she couldn't keep up with the progress and ranked last every time, so the teachers didn't pay much attention to her.

She is not troublesome, taciturn and introverted, like a transparent person in the class.

"But I've seen her smile..." Pei Rengui sighed, and said that he was passing by the business district outside the school that day, and accidentally saw that girl and a group of boys in vocational school uniforms sitting around eating.People need a sense of presence. She couldn't integrate into the group of the class, so she could only go to another group to find her own position and meaning. Knowing that there was no benefit in mixing with these people, she was willing to do so.

Chen Qiye wanted to know what Pei Rengui did that day, and Pei Rengui said that he regretted that he didn't do anything that day.

Later, the girl didn't get into any good school, and she didn't come to take her graduation photo, and she never got in touch with any teachers or students since then.

"I am the head teacher of class (2) and the math teacher of class (1). Of course I know that Qin Ge is not a bad boy, but not everyone has options other than the college entrance examination like him," Pei Rengui said earnestly, " And this year of yours is the last year of the college entrance examination."

The total score of Zhejiang's old college entrance examination is 810. The college entrance examination in other provinces lasts for two days, and Zhejiang has a 60-point module on the third day.The new college entrance examination policy is unique, canceling the liberal arts and science subjects and adopting a graded system. For them this year, the risk of repeating the exam is not ordinary. If they fail the exam, they will really fail the exam.

Pei Rengui's earnest words seemed to be still in his ears: "Chen Qiye, the most important thing you should care about now is yourself."

Chocolate juice dripped on the other hand again, but Chen Qiye didn't lick it off this time, staring at the stain and muttering: "Are you really going abroad?"

Qin Ge just took a big bite of ice cream. After hearing Chen Xiye's question clearly, he swallowed the ice cream that hadn't melted yet, and it felt cold from his throat to the bottom of his heart.

"...My grandfather wants me to go." Qin Ge pretended to be indifferent, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Just asking casually," Chen Xiye forced a smile, "No wonder you are so leisurely, so..."

It turns out that you already have other paths and plans.

The chocolate juice mixed with the ice cream dripped onto Chen Xiye's hand again, and he didn't lick it again, for the first time he felt that something sweet and delicious was tasteless.

And Chen Yue has never eaten such a good thing. After sweeping the street on such a hot day, she is only willing to drink the boiled water she brought. Even if she eats ice cream, she buys two small popsicles for [-] cents, which taste like mint. Flavored tap water.

He also thought of the poor point.His future can really be reversed by the score, and the reason why Qin Ge would comfort and cheer himself up is because

Because his future is bright enough.

For the first time, Chen Qiye realized so deeply that there is a gap between people.He has to give more than others.

He no longer goes to the mathematics competition classroom. The preparation for two years is like a dream. Now he wakes up from the dream. Apart from eating and going to the bathroom, he sits in his seat to make up for other subjects that he left behind. The daily plan, the collection of wrong questions that have not been sorted out and brought back to the dormitory, even the dormitory aunt will come to remind him to pay attention to rest.

But he didn't even go home during the National Day holiday, so he lived in school and studied on his own.Before the holiday, the school arranged a monthly exam, and Chen Qiye's only recreational activity at school during the holiday was to refresh the computers in the classroom and wait for new results and rankings to come out.

Math first.This test paper is not difficult. After he finished the math and checked it again, he knew that he had a perfect score. The result was as expected, but there were 140 people with a score of 30 or above, which did not make a big difference.

On the second day of the holiday, biology and chemistry were taught. Chen Qiye performed steadily, and after adding the three subjects, he ranked in the top 1 in the school.(2) (1) Classmates have a group of brothers, and the group is getting more and more lively every day. They bet on whether the physics No. [-] is Qin Ge or Zuo Zewen. Lin Ji fights for the brothers The face is also a fight, and promises that if Qin Ge is the first, he will treat everyone to dinner.

The physics results were announced on the third day, and Lin Ji's job was a certainty.Qin Ge didn't pay attention to the rise and fall of his own ranking after integrating and adding up the existing subject scores. Instead, he first searched for Chen Qiye from top to bottom, and found the name in the 60 or so section.

He went back to look at Chen Qiye's scores for the small questions, and the fill-in-the-blanks scores were quite high, but Chen Qiye didn't even get full marks for the first big question. If you spend too much time drawing, and then go back and do physics that you are not good at, the rhythm will be messed up.

He used the mouse to select Chen Xiye's name and then released it. After doing this dozens of times, he wanted to make a call to chat with Chen Qiye, but he stared at the number marked "Little Leaf", but he still didn't dial it.

Qin Ge was keen. He could feel that Chen Qiye's state of mind had changed after he came out of the math office. During this time, he avoided himself even more.

He no longer hid with Qin Ge in the amphitheater to cool off the air conditioner, and obediently went to the playground to bask in the sun and do radio exercises during the big break, and completed the movements seriously instead of turning his head to look at Qin Ge when he picked up the plane.

He no longer takes a fake pass to leave the school, and settles his lunch and dinner in the cafeteria.After class, Qin Ge and the others rushed to the cafeteria like wild horses to avoid queuing. Chen Qiye knew he couldn't run fast, so he staggered the time to study in the classroom until the others came back one after another, and then got up to go. There is no queue and there is no good food Dining in the cafeteria.

He no longer goes to math competition classrooms.Tanzhou suffered the first wave of cold air in the second half of the year at the end of September. Many classrooms turned off the air conditioners to prevent students from catching a cold when the seasons changed. A small group of courageous people who were afraid of the heat headed by Qin Ge went to the competition classroom for late self-study. Qin Ge originally thought that Chen Qiye would follow him tacitly, but he stayed in the competition classroom for almost a week, and Chen Qiye didn't show up.

Qin Ge gradually felt less hot.He lay on the table and watched the green branches and leaves outside the corridor with yellow edges. When he opened the window, the sun was still so warm, but the waves of cicadas had long since stopped. , Autumn is really coming.

If Chen Qiye hadn't asked him if he would go abroad, Qin Ge might have thought that Chen Qiye was better than Lan because of his blueness, and he would also play the same game with him.

But Chen Qiye had no reason to hang on to Qin Ge, he just suddenly realized that the most important thing for him to do was to concentrate on sprinting for the college entrance examination, instead of relying on Qin Ge to eat and play.

But Chen Qiye couldn't help but pay attention to Qin Ge's grades and rankings, and envied his beautiful physics scores.Without the blessing of science, Qin Ge would definitely fall out of the top [-] after adding the double-digit Chinese score, but his English is also good, even if the Chinese language is hindered, the total score can still be in the top [-].

And Chen Qiye's English is quite satisfactory. Although the single subject of Chinese is ranked high, he can't get points for physics in the liberal arts. The final ranking is around [-] or [-], which is not the top group in the innovation class.

Then he exported the rankings of the whole school, reducing the ratio so that his name and Qin Ge's were on the same page, and his chin rested on the back of his hand to stare at the scores and rankings of the two. For physical scores, Qin Ge has his own Chinese scores, so they can enter the top ten together and enter the same top5 university, which is no worse than the ivy leagues abroad.

Chen Qiye straightened his back suddenly, pinching the edge of the podium table with both hands, frightened by his own thoughts.

He unconsciously hoped for a future with Qin Ge.

In the classroom that was empty except for himself, his face was hot for no reason, and he took out a sticky note to divert his attention, but his eyes couldn't focus and he couldn't see the plan for today, and the future time in his fantasy became more and more like a utopia.

He stayed in the school until the 4th. Without a smartphone, he didn't know what happened in the brother group. When he was reviewing and summarizing in the classroom, many students in (1) and (2) two classes had dinner at Lin Ji's hotel.

Qin Ge was there that night.People from Zhejiang often take the family as the unit to do business. After he returned to Tanzhou, he was fascinated by the mingling of various wine bureaus. It was easy to bring together the atmosphere of high school students’ dinner parties, but he was not in the mood that day. The only time he was in the state was playing After losing the game, he was punished to take a big risk and had to give someone a kiss.The girls were all shy and silent, so Ma Sirui moved his cheek close to Qin Ge's lips, and said with great sacrifice: "Then let Qin Ge belong to me. If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell!"

Qin Ge parted Ma Sirui's face, and made an exaggerated expression of vomiting: "Get out! Your brother's first kiss is still there."

Ma Sirui was aggrieved and chirped, and acted like those disgruntled wives in the TV series, pointing to Lin Ji and complaining: "Then who else can you kiss, or...or you still think about the chicken by the Daming Lake in your heart."

"Chickens can't swim, but there are geese by the Daming Lake." Qin Ge fled behind Lu Goose to hide from Ma Sirui, "I, Qin Ge, will die of starvation. I can't kiss you even if I jump from here!"

All the students present were amused by this romantic drama, and Chen Xiaoxian burst into tears, saying that straight men can play.Ma Sirui pursed his lips without any burden and wanted to kiss Qin Ge forcefully, but Chen Xiaoxian told him not to bother, the boy was as handsome as Chen Qiye from class (2), so Qin Ge could reluctantly kiss him.

This big adventure was over, but Chen Xiaoxian's words reminded Lin Ji that Qin Ge and Chen Qiye were indeed quite cut and messed up, and when they got better, brothers like him and Ma Sirui would become clothes. After a few days, it faded again, as if we had never met each other.

But he had an intuition that Chen Qiye was special to Qin Ge.Qin Ge has never decided whether to study abroad or take the college entrance examination. After returning to school in August, he is depressed and irritable.

Like Qin Ge, Lin Ji doesn't like to read books. Apart from playing basketball, he plays games every day. If he adds a link to Bilibili, he will watch any type of video.

The eating and broadcasting industry has not been booming in 15 years. The reason why Lin Ji knows the existence of the big stomach king is because there is a video of Kinoshita eating 3 kilograms of fried noodles on station B.At first, Lin Ji couldn't understand why this kind of video had such a high number of hits and was floating on his homepage every day, until Qin Ge bought snacks twice in three days and fed them to Chen Qiye. The more enjoyable it is to follow.

So Lin Ji joked with Qin Ge to help them find another way of life. Anyway, Qin Ge's grandparents are only his grandson, so he might as well stop studying and go home and inherit the family business and become a local tyrant in Tanzhou. I can't finish it, I'm watching rockets in Chen Qiye's gourmet live broadcast room every day.

"It's good. Anyway, no matter how much I study, the salary I will get in the future will not be a fraction of what they earn." Qin Ge said at the time, "As for Chen Qiye...he doesn't even have a smartphone now, and he doesn't know how to take pictures. Video can be considered a career.”

Lin Ji could understand why Qin Ge was depressed.Surpassing one's parents is an important way for people to prove themselves, but even if Qin Ge's generation is admitted to the best school, they can't match the previous generation who dropped out of junior high school and went into business in terms of accumulation of material wealth.

So Qin Ge was at a loss and had no goals when others were struggling for the college entrance examination. He didn't know what kind of life he wanted to live, and what kind of life he didn't want to live. If he couldn't make up his mind after this semester, I hope he The foreign grandmother who went abroad helped him make the decision.

It is indeed a headache not to be able to control the future by yourself. Qin Ge also suffers from headaches every day. He has a face full of bitterness and hatred every day. more.But Lin Ji, as a brother, of course wanted Qin Ge to be happier, so he decided to help him. On the evening of the 5th, Lin Ji came to the school and knocked on the door of Class (2), and whistled at Chen Qiye, who was engrossed in his homework.Chen Qiye looked up, with a blank expression on his face, not knowing why he appeared here.

Lin Ji regarded class (2) as his own class, walked in swaggeringly, and sat on the opposite side of Chen Qiye's seat, asking: "I treated you yesterday, why didn't you come?"

Chen Qiye blinked: "...what?"

Lin Ji snorted: "How many times have I told you in the group of brothers that if Qin Ge won the first place in physics in the school, I would invite people from two classes to dinner." He joked, "If I added you and All the teachers, this thank-you banquet will be held together."

"I went at the same table too?" Chen Qiye was a little surprised, Zuo Zewen was suppressed by Qin Ge in the rankings, yet he was still in the mood to eat.

"It seems that you don't know your deskmate well enough," Lin Ji said solemnly, "Student Zuo has never cared about his dignity and face when it comes to taking advantage of this trivial matter. As long as it's free and others pay for it, he will definitely not miss it."

Chen Qiye thought for a second that Zuo Zewen could indeed do such a thing, and laughed out loud.

"Let's go." Lin Ji grabbed Chen Xiye's arm and was about to pull him towards the door, but Chen Qiye stood up and shook Lin Ji's hand away, again looking dazed as if he didn't know anything.

"Yesterday, Zuo Zewen didn't come to celebrate, and I regret that you didn't come." Lin Ji started to put all the textbooks and materials on his desk into his schoolbag, zipped it up, and threw it back to him. He laughed and said seriously, "They are all brother classes, and you should have what others have."

"But—" Chen Qiye was in a daze, always feeling that he and Lin Ji hadn't gotten to know each other that well, Lin Ji hinted: "It's not just the two of us tonight, if you don't give me face, you have to give him face too. "

Chen Qiye was stunned, and Lin Ji pushed him outside again, and he didn't hesitate as much as before.

He didn't even ask who that "he" was, Lin Ji called a taxi to the bar street in Tanzhou.The nightlife here has just started and there are crowds of people. Chen Xiye, who is carrying a schoolbag and wearing a school uniform, seems to be very out of place. Lin Ji took off his sports jacket and gave it to Chen Xiye to prevent the school badge on his shirt from being exposed.

"We shouldn't come to this kind of place." Chen Qiye also didn't want someone to take a photo of a high school student entering a bar, put on Lin Ji's clothes and zip it to the top. Pushing open the heavy wooden door of a bar, the melodious female voice and the aroma of wine floated out from inside.

"This is a music bar in the nature of a restaurant. Besides drinking, you can also order food." Lin Ji obviously didn't come to this place for the first time, so he understood quite well, "Just drink Wangzai milk after you go in."

But Chen Qiye still shook his head: "We are high school students."

Lin Kee's logic genius: "We are adults too."

Chen Qiye was speechless. He started elementary school one year later, and he is indeed 18 years old now.

He still hesitated, but the female voice in the bar turned into a soft humming, and the voice acting as the host was very familiar, attracting him to enter involuntarily, and in the blink of an eye, he was standing in the dimly lit hall.

"I didn't lie to you." Lin Ji gestured to a large plate of fish with pickled vegetables on the table next to him, ignored the foreign wine bottle next to the fish, and continued to brainwash Chen Qiye. This is a restaurant with the appearance of a bar, not a bar that serves hard dishes .

But Chen Qiye's attention was all on the stage not far away.The table is neither high nor big, but it has all the necessary equipment and musical instruments, and the light is brighter than the dining area.Both of them were sitting on high stools on the stage. The woman was gentle and elegant, and she followed the line of literary and artistic young women from makeup to clothing. The boy next to her applauded her and said, "Thank you, Xiao Chen Li, for bringing us this song "" Walking Horse."

The female partner named Xiao Chen Li and his business partner exchanged compliments: "Then what will Xiao Xu Wei bring us next?"

"Then ask the audience what they want to hear." Qin Ge was originally facing his female partner, but now he turned to the audience, with one leg straightened and the other bent to step on the chair leg, with a guitar on the back of his leg.

He was wearing a black non-patterned cotton sweater today, and a dark gray work vest over it.His trousers are also black, and they look more slender and straight under the light. His shoes are white Air Force One, brand new like the first day he wore them.

"'Free Like the Wind'." Lin Ji yelled towards the stage with his hands in the shape of a trumpet.Qin Ge's eyes lit up when he looked over, and his back, which was always loose and not straight, straightened up, and he smiled at Chen Qiye who was beside him.

He didn't sing, but temporarily stopped for an intermission.The business of the bar is good today and there are few empty seats left. Lin Ji and Chen Qiye can only sit in a relatively remote place. If they want to see the whole stage clearly, they need to find a specific angle.

"Why are you here?" Qin Ge ran to them after stepping down from the stage, and he didn't need to guess that Chen Qiye must have been fooled by Lin Ji.After Lin Ji took a sip of the free water, he said in a strange tone: "This is what you said...Little Yezi, let's go."

"No, no, no." Qin Ge pushed Lin Ji back to his seat, handed him a drink list and said, "I'll treat you tonight."

"That's right!" With Qin Ge's words, Lin Ji felt at ease, and stared at the menu to study how to make a good fortune for Qin Ge, leaving him and Chen Qiye to look at each other, and the background music of the bar was just on "Once Upon a Time" by Xu Wei.

Qin Ge was going to be on stage later, so he didn't sit down. He turned around and went to the bar to get him two cans of iced coke, and asked him if he wanted milk.

Chen Qiye shook his head, took it and asked, "Are you working part-time here?"

"This store was opened by my uncle, and you've seen him before." Qin Ge was referring to Lu Chong. Of course, he sang in his stepfather-to-be's store not to make money, but for fun.

Chen Qiye let out an "oh" and drank the Coke through a straw, which still seemed insufficient in such an environment.Qin Ge noticed that he was wearing a large-sized coat over his shirt and school uniform, and said, "I haven't seen you wearing this dress."

"Ah, it's not mine." Chen Xiye pointed to Lin Ji who was sitting opposite. Lin Ji was about to call the waiter for something to order, when Qin Ge who was standing next to him suddenly acted like a cool guy taking off his coat.

Then Qin Ge threw the vest to Chen Qiye, and said with some dissatisfaction, "How can you wear other people's clothes casually."

Chen Qiye caught Qin Ge's overalls.Qin Ge continued to say to him in a decent and commanding tone: "Wear mine."
