Stop loss

Qin Ge returned to Tanzhou by bullet train that afternoon.

His high school stuff is basically stored in the apartment next to the school. Since he was admitted to university, he has not returned to this place, and his mother has not rented out the house to the accompanying parents, so when Qin Ge opened the door, The years left only dust in it, instead of erasing the traces of his life.

Qin Ge walked into his bedroom, turned on the light, went straight to the closet, and turned it on.

It's October.In the south of Tanzhou, it gets dark very early, and the soft night is blocked by curtains, which makes the light falling from the ceiling very obvious. There is a layer of retro color on the old objects, like the prelude to a time travel, bringing Qin Ge Travel back to eight years ago.

Qin Ge first took out a large cardboard box, looked at the sundries inside, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

He was very impetuous in high school, always ready to tear up the books after the college entrance examination, but on the last day he moved all the things under the desk home and put them all in this cardboard box.

The mess in the cardboard box was very much like Qin Ge's back then.Qin Ge fished it out, and found an ipod nano from a pile of stationery next to the textbook.This mp4 is very old and has long been out of production. Qin Ge plugged in the charger in his spare time, but the nano still responded, and the screen displayed a power-on pattern.

Qin Ge put the nano on the bedside table to continue charging, and continued to do business.He came to look for school uniforms. He still remembers that after the module exam on the third day, many students asked their classmates to sign their school uniforms as a souvenir. Lin Ji was the most active. He asked the students to write and collect signatures without taking off his clothes After a circle, he came to Chen Xiaoxian, pointed to the position facing his chest, passed the pen over, and said, leave this piece for you.

Qin Ge found two clean white shirts.He didn't join that carnival back then, where was he at that time, and who was he with... He took out his autumn school uniform jacket again, the blood on it had been stained for a long time, and under the precipitation of the years, it turned into an unclean dark brown .

Qin Ge knew he shouldn't, but he still took out the school uniform, held it in his hand, stared at the blood on it for a long time, and wanted to get closer to smell it, but suddenly felt that the past was irretrievable, so he put it back in its original place .

Qin Ge had a long-lost sleep that night, so that the next day, Lin Ji, who knew his address, came to the door in advance instead of meeting him at the school gate.Chen Xiaoxian is not as playful as Lin Ji in wasting clothes. The school uniforms eight years ago were still brand new. If the three of them hadn't been afraid of the cold, they would have put on their own clothes over the short sleeves of their shirts. They would never have been stopped by the security guards when they entered the school gate. register.

"The students are all in class, what are you four doing here?" The security guard stared at Chen Xiaoxian's eye-catching red hair and the equipment carried by the photographer, confirming that they were no longer high school students of this school.

Lin Ji handed a cigarette to the security brother: "We used to be. If you don't believe me, you can search for the art performance of 'Wenlin Middle School 20160107' on station b. I am in the art gallery with the little Xu Wei from Tongtianmen behind me. Spend your youth."

The big security guard glanced at the camera hanging outside the security guard at the rear, but didn't pick up Lin Ji's cigarette.Lin Ji didn't hold back, put his other arm around Chen Xiaoxian, smiled from ear to ear and said, "My daughter-in-law is also from this school, we are getting married next month, today I am here to make up a campus-style wedding photo !"

Standing behind Lin Ji, Qin Ge could not see Lin Ji's expression, but could hear the unconcealable smile in his tone.The security uncle was also infected, and repeatedly told them not to approach the teaching building and let them in.They didn't bother the uncle, just took a look and patted in the green area, and walked to the grove with the gazebo.

The four of them were sitting in the gazebo to rest, and after a while they heard a bell ring. In the corridor of the teaching building where they could see, only a few classes had students coming in and out, and the others were still dragging the hall.

"I really miss it." Chen Xiaoxian lay on the stone table, looking at the students in the corridor who were wearing the same school uniform as herself, she couldn't help feeling emotional.Then she glanced at the notice board not far away, which read "The fruit trees have been treated with pesticides, do not pick them."

"Why is this still the same sentence?" Chen Xiaoxian smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't read it, but after seeing it, you want to pick persimmons and eat them."

Lin Ji, who was sitting next to Qin Ge, poked Qin Ge with his elbow, and asked almost deliberately: "You said... where are there still persimmons in the school now?"

Chen Xiaoxian immediately picked it up, as if it had been rehearsed: "Didn't you go to the playground just now, the persimmon trees around there are all bald, probably, they were picked up by bad students like you two and distributed to your classmates."

"Hey, what do you mean, Chen Xiaoya, I didn't pick so many so that you could eat one—"

"Who knows if you spread the net and got wet in the rain and dew." Chen Xiaoya's unforgiving look on her mouth is hard to avoid making people wonder if she and Lin Ji are serious about getting married.She also became more and more impatient, as if this filming was not what she wanted, she was quite helpless, but she had to continue acting, somehow got into an awkward situation with Lin Ji, and ran away because of "neither listen nor listen", Lin Ji and The photographer had no choice but to catch up, ignoring Qin Ge's existence.Qin Ge can't help with emotional matters, at least staying where he is won't help.

Qin Ge heard the bell ring.

The 10-minute class break ended, and the teaching building not far away returned to silence.The breeze was blowing around the small gazebo, and the sound of the branches and leaves was like the sound of a group reading. Qin Ge, who was in it, felt drowsy when he heard a completely different sound of small things falling to the ground. A chocolate candy fell at the foot.

Qin Ge picked it up, and it was obvious that it was a Ferrero.

Looking back, I don’t know when there is a chocolate on the path about one meter away from the steps of the gazebo. The next one is placed on the green grass behind the path, and one after another, it disappears into the back lawn commonly known as Lover’s Slope. On the endless sea horizon, Qin Ge is induced to embark on the expedition route, at the end of which there are gold and silver treasures and a sea monster with a graceful singing voice.

Qin Ge's first reaction was not to follow the direction Ferrero pointed out, but to slowly take off his coat and look down at his clothes.

Cool breeze.The short-sleeved shirt he was wearing was very thin, and on the hem of the shirt was written a row of fat little characters in black pen—Little Xu Wei under Tongtianmen, with a dove drawn on the left and a leaf falling on the right.

Qin Ge stood up, and then walked slowly towards the lover's slope step by step.

It was as if he remembered everything suddenly and figured it out. He had no expectations, nor was he surprised.

He was indeed a "bad student" and hadn't returned to his alma mater for eight years. Now he was being pushed by a pair of hands in the dark, and he was arranged to revisit his old place and walked under the persimmon tree.

That tree was no different from eight years ago, standing alone in the secret lover's slope.Qin Ge stroked the rough bark with his palm, and then looked up. The fruits on the treetops and the sunlight passing through the gaps in the branches and leaves were illusory and real. A layer of tulle blinded his eyes, giving him an illusion , It seems... It seems that the passage of time has not taken away a grain of sand, Wenlin No. [-] Middle School is still the same as Wenlin No. [-] Middle School back then, and the boy who ate persimmons and kissed him under the tree with him that year has never left.

Qin Ge turned around.

The soft soil covered the sound of footsteps, and the person who drowned him in the dream appeared vividly before his eyes. He did not know when he stood quietly, waiting for himself to turn around. He was as quiet and docile as ever, no wonder he made that promise. Unfulfilled wishes.

Qin Ge stood up, raised his hand, and unconsciously caressed the man's face to confirm the authenticity of his existence.He was wearing the same school uniform and trousers as himself, with his shoulders shrunk slightly, his lips pursed to hold back his smile, but the two dimples on his cheeks couldn't be hidden no matter what.

"Do you want to pick persimmons?" Chen Qiye opened his hands, as attentive as in eight years, "I'll carry you up."
