Stop loss

October is the season when persimmons are ripe, and Qin Ge failed to eat the ones given to him by Chen Qiye. Qi Miaomiao bought a large basket on the Mid-Autumn Festival after the National Day, each of which was as big as a palm.

This is a day for family reunion. The school squeezed out the National Day holiday and missed the Mid-Autumn Festival.After Qin Ge came home, Lu Chong was busy in the kitchen. Qi Miaomiao wanted to help Lu Chong. Lu Chong knew that her fingers would not touch the spring water, which would only be a disservice, so he patiently taught her how to cut vegetables and cook. Angry, he took the lead in tasting Qi Miaomiao's dark dishes after serving, and gave a thumbs up against his conscience: "It's delicious!"

Qin Ge didn't believe it, so he took a bite too. After chewing for two bites, his face turned green, and he said to his mother, "Not bad, there is progress."

He tried his best, but he couldn't swallow it anymore, and ran to the bathroom to vomit like a [-]-meter sprint.Lu Chong's parents and Qin Ge's grandparents present were all amused and laughed. Qi Miaomiao looked at Lu Chong embarrassedly.

The reunion dinner was enjoyable, and after they were full, the two families sat around in the yard to enjoy the cool, with melons and fruits placed on the small table in the middle.Lu Chong drank a lot of wine today and was not drunk, but he became interested and asked Qin Ge to fetch the guitar.

Qin Ge got the order and respectfully handed over his guitar to Lu Chong.Lu Chong is worthy of being the owner of the music bar. He is still in his forties, so he swayed his legs and played a flamenco strumming first.

His plucked finger bones are clear and skilled in fingering. If he is 30 or [-] years younger, he will definitely fascinate a group of high school students.

Then he played a song belonging to his era and sang: "This is a season of love, everyone should be good to each other, lonely people are shameful..."

When Qi Miaomiao was young, she loved to use literary young women to flaunt herself. How could she not have heard Zhang Chu's "Lonely People Are Shameful", and she and the four elders clapped hands for Lu Chong's playing and singing, only Qin Ge covered his chest like He was stabbed in the heart, and after Lu Chong finished singing, he complained: "Why do single dogs have to be abused during the Mid-Autumn Festival! I hate it!"

The affection in Lu Chong's eyes became more intense, Qi Miaomiao smiled speechlessly, and Qin Ge took the opportunity to boo: "Marry, marry, marry..."

Lu Chong wished he could have a wedding with Qi Miaomiao tomorrow, but he still respected Qi Miaomiao's idea and said to Qin Ge, "Wait until you finish your college entrance examination."

Qin Ge pretended to be anxious: "What do you mean, if I don't take the college entrance examination, you still don't finish?"

"Want to go to the United States next semester?" Grandpa Qin Ge thought that his grandson's subtext was that he decided not to take the domestic college entrance examination. Qin Ge quickly grabbed a persimmon and took a bite, changing the subject by saying that the persimmon is really sweet.

Qin Ge was the only junior present here. After Lu Chong played a few more love songs, he became a little sober. The two families gradually chatted about stocks and futures, foreign trade and domestic sales... For people of their age, business matters Things are far more interesting than the rock music of the last century.Although Qi Miaomiao seldom interrupted, she listened quietly, while Qin Ge grabbed two persimmons and went back to his room.

He opened the window and closed one eye, facing one of the persimmons to the starry night sky, the persimmon that just covered the moon was as clear and crystal clear as the full moon.

Then he put the persimmon back on the table, collapsed on the bed exhaustedly and rubbed his face fiercely, as if he wanted to remove that invisible mask, and no longer needed to energetically play a good son, a good grandson, a good junior.

He looked sideways, looked at the two persimmons on the desk not far away, groped under the pillow with his hands, and then looked at the ceiling. The photo of Chen Xiye standing in front of the blue sea and blue sky blocked the light of the ceiling lamp.

Looking at the people in the photo, he suddenly realized that this was the closest he had been to Chen Qiye this week.

After that night, Chen Qiye, who was rejected again, kept a certain distance from Qin Ge.This may not be a difficult task for a person who is not lively and outgoing. He only needs to follow the daily plan on the sticky note to study the questions, review, and use the 10 minutes between classes to summarize. A good student who doesn't hear things outside the window, these days is just getting back the rhythm of the past.

Compared to stalking and chasing after him, Chen Qiye's tactful avoidance is of course a good thing, but when Qin Ge stared at the person in the photo, the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't move his eyes away, and even wanted to ask him face to face, didn't you mean like me?

This sudden thought made Qin Ge laugh, and he couldn't figure out why he had such an inexplicable impulse.

But he just couldn't move his gaze away from the photo. After an unknown period of time, he got up and opened the closet. On the bottom floor were the test papers he had done in the past three years. He didn't throw them away not because he was reluctant, but because It is to wait for the college entrance examination to be stacked into a pile to see if I can "work for myself".

He squatted down, pushed aside the dozens of test papers in front of him, and reached inside to grab an autumn school uniform.

He sat down, grabbed the shoulder line of the school uniform with both hands, and shook the coat in front of his eyes.It was the most common Wenzhong school uniform, all in white, with the school badge embroidered on the right chest, three blue lines extending from the collar to the cuff, and the little blood stains on the left cuff had turned brown. He picked it up, put it down and sniffed it. Smell, I can't smell it anymore.

But everything that happened that day was as clear as yesterday, including the smell of blood rust on his lips and the temperature on Chen Xiye's wrist.He is so courageous that he is not afraid, if Chen Qiye really has some hidden illness, he will be finished with him.

Then he lied to Chen Qiye that he threw away the blood-stained school uniform, and immediately hid the clothes, as if hiding Chen Qiye.

He only allowed himself to lose control for a moment, buried his face in the school uniform and took a deep breath, but he couldn't restrain himself from putting the clothes back.

In the dark, he saw Qi Miaomiao who had just listened to Lu Chong's playing and singing, the smile on his mother's face gradually faded, the guitar turned into a postcard from Russia, and then changed back to the guitar, and the smile appeared on her face again.

After all, she is lucky, even if the haze of her ex-husband has not completely dissipated, at least she has Lu Chong who loves her wholeheartedly by her side.

But what does Qin Ge have?

It seems that this school uniform is left in my hand.

Qin Ge hid the school uniform again, shook his head, got up from the bed and went to the desk to sort out his homework, but he couldn't write for a long time, and finally opened his diary and wrote: I have a headache.

After a while, he wrote again: Chen Xiye hasn't come to play with me recently, he probably doesn't like me anymore, shit, why is this person like this, he doesn't like me so quickly.

He crossed out the entire line impatiently, and then wrote again, with such force that he could pierce the page: You should confess to me again!

He didn't draw the curtains, and looked out of the window after writing a few words.Under the same sky, Chen Qiye and he looked at the same moon.

Chen Qiye also had persimmons at hand, but unfortunately they were overripe and rotted.Before he went back to school last week, his mother bought seven or eight persimmons and wanted him to take them back to the dormitory to eat, but he only took two, leaving the rest for his mother to eat.

And when Chen Qiye came home again, those few persimmons were still placed far away.It turned out that Chen Yue was still reluctant to eat, and would rather wait for Chen Qiye to come back and leave them alone, one by one they would rot.

Chen Qiye and his mother gathered around the trash can, picking out the edible parts with a knife and feeding them to each other.Chen Yue was a little guilty, feeling that she had ruined a good thing, Chen Qiye comforted her, talking about the dozen or so persimmon trees outside the school playground.

Chen Yue moved her lips: Can I pick it off?

"Of course." Chen Xiye lied, "I'll bring you some when I go home next week."

Chen Yue pursed her lips and smiled, and Chen Xiye emphasized: "It's free anyway, so don't be reluctant to eat it."

Chen Qiye took the bus back to school on the afternoon of the last day of the holiday.The road ahead was wide, but it was still blocked by a large number of private cars taking their children back to school. Chen Qiye got off the car two stops ahead of time and walked to the school gate. Instead of going in directly, he stopped at the glass window not far away. Last year's college entrance examination honor roll.

The Wenzhong key rate has been stable at around 80.00% throughout the year. The top five on the five-page list can go to Qingbei, and the last few are also undergraduates. Chen Qiye compared the ranking on the list with his monthly exam results. Compare and estimate what grade of school you can go to.

His eyes lingered at the bottom of the first page and the second page, which was occupied by "Zhejiang University", his eyes moved back unwillingly, slowly moved up, and landed on the top five.

He raised his right hand and straightened his fingers, but he still couldn't reach it.

He jumped up and finally touched the words Qingbei through the glass.

Chen Qiye seemed to have completed an important ceremony, clenched his fists to cheer himself up, and when he turned around, Qin Ge stood not far behind him.

Chen Qiye was stunned, his hands clenched into fists were pressed against his chest, and the zipper of his autumn school uniform jacket was pulled up to his collarbone in an orderly manner.

Contrary to his cleanliness and decency, Qin Ge's school uniform was wide open, with one hand in his trouser pocket, his back slightly hunched on purpose, and the schoolbag on one shoulder was a little skewed under the weight. It's not like he's well-groomed, he The youthful enthusiasm on the body is rushing again.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, until a BMW that couldn't find a parking space came between them, and a teenager wearing the same school uniform as them got out of the passenger seat.

The boy was not interested in the honor roll, and walked straight to the school gate with his head held high, exaggerating a kind of self-confidence that had nothing to do with the ranking.

This kind of self-confidence is not uncommon among Wenzhong students. It is as common as the BBA outside the school at the moment. Good-looking students like Chen Qiye who study hard are in the minority.

But Chen Qiye was not cowardly, even though he lowered his head as he walked forward, he just wanted to avoid more eye contact with Qin Ge.

He merged into the flow of people returning to school, leaning on the sidelines all the way, avoiding the private cars heading outside the school.Qin Ge followed him seven or eight meters away, and had the urge to rush up and hug him several times.

He knew where this protectiveness came from.Tanzhou is rich, and even the air in the campus has a turbid atmosphere.More and more students are being impacted by worldly material desires prematurely. In such an environment, Chen Qiye is like an old antique, with no other distractions and simplicity.

His only desire is the desire and longing for knowledge, and the embarrassing family background has been tempered into a shining point in front of this kind of purity, but it is a pity that this kind of simplicity has gradually become ridiculous in the ivory tower, which shows that it is full of precious.

And such a simple person likes himself.

For a moment, Qin Ge felt a sense of He De He Neng.

He watched Chen Qiye enter the classroom of class (2), and when he slowly passed by the window of class (2), Chen Qiye was already sitting in his seat arranging his schoolbag, his head so low that he wished he could bury it in the drawer, and put an end to any illusions and interests for himself Hope, define Qin Ge's tailgating as a whim.

But Qin Ge's "rise" seemed to last for a while.When he was on the playground, in the reading room, in the cafeteria, and passing through the corridors of the two classes, he could always feel Qin Ge's eyes on him.

No way, who made him resist not responding, but he couldn't help leaving that person's figure within reach from the corner of his eye.

Then that person occupied more and more of his sight.Qin Ge seemed to be doing it on purpose, appearing in front of Chen Qiye from time to time, as if hinting at what Chen Qiye would say or do on his own initiative.

So Chen Qiye took the initiative to return the Casio watch.He was embarrassed to meet Qin Ge face to face, so he took advantage of class (1) to go to physical education and put the things under Qin Ge's drawer after the classroom was empty. The watch is on the cover of the journal next to it.

Chen Qiye obviously came and went in a hurry, so he didn't have any curiosity to look at Qin Ge's diary again.

And if he turned to the latest page, he would see that Qin Ge added a self-answer after the big exclamation mark on Mid-Autumn Festival: Confess again, and I might agree.

Qin Ge was walking back and forth in the back of the classroom and playing basketball. When he realized that Chen Qiye was not as stupid as before, he was quite happy. At least Chen Qiye was no longer so easy to be deceived by others.

Although his feelings are growing and spreading to the extent that he wants to seduce people.

He grabbed the basketball, held it between his elbows, and looked out from the window on the other side. He could see the playground and the circle of persimmon trees in the distance, and the bright red fruits were dotted among the green leaves.

He wanted to eat persimmons again, and he felt that Chen Qiye wanted to too.

Summer is really over.
