Lovely Allergen
Chapter 38
Le Zhishi's serious words, in exchange for Song Yu covering his face with a big hand, making his face blurred.
"What are you doing?" He raised his hand to remove his brother's troublesome hand, but he heard Song Yu say, "Your ability to observe words and emotions needs to be improved."
"Huh?" Le Zhishi grabbed Song Yu's wrist with both hands, a little surprised.
"They all support me." Song Yu didn't make an expression, but tilted his head, "Same as you."
After finishing speaking, he patted Le Zhishi's face lightly twice, turned around and opened the door of Le Zhishi's bedroom, "Let's go."
Le Zhishi felt that he was being stupid again, but thinking that everyone supported Song Yu, he felt that being a little bit stupid was nothing, and everyone was happy.Volunteering was a matter of course, and the whole family was very happy on the day the admission notice was sent.The eldest son is admitted to university, and out of reason, he wants to treat his relatives to a meal.
At the dinner table, the uncle expressed his dissatisfaction with Song Yu's volunteer several times.
"There is no future. If you do well in the exam, you will go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. What's the point of staying in the local area? It's such an unpopular major. Today's young people are all learning high-tech such as IT, and the money comes very quickly. "
Le Zhishi was very angry about this kind of paternalistic blow, but he had no position to retaliate, so he had to give Song Yu a chopstick of beef.
"I'm not short of money." Song Yu said flatly, "The major you said is very good, but I'm not interested."
The eldest aunt smiled, as if trying to smooth things over, "Xiaoyu, your uncle is also thinking of you, yes, interest is the most important thing, but the major of surveying and mapping is too unpopular, many people have never heard of it, no good Get a job."
"Besides, W is not bad, but your score can be higher than T, what a pity, even if you go to T for a slightly more common major. You are still too young, you will go out to find a job in the future, no matter what Professional, as soon as T speaks out, he will have face, and others will look up to him."
Lin Rong couldn't hold back her anger, "If that's the case, why doesn't my sister-in-law work in the cafeteria of T University, why does she stay in the local school? She doesn't steam steamed buns to save herself, the cafeteria of University T will have more face when she speaks out."
The eldest aunt was so stunned by her that she had nothing to say, Le Zhishi couldn't help but hold back her laughter, and even shook her legs happily, only to be stopped by Song Yu's palm under the table.
The atmosphere was not very good, Song Jin said a few words, "Xiao Yu's grades can indeed go to those schools, but we weighed it, if he goes to T University to study a major he doesn't like, and then finds a job he doesn't like. We don’t want him to be pushed around in the rest of his life. Since he already has a life plan and wants to engage in surveying and mapping research, he naturally chooses the top school for this major. Of course,” he said. Looking at Song Yu, "The words of uncle and aunt are also the experience of those who have been there, so you have to listen to them."
Le Zhishi thought to himself, they haven't even studied in university, so they are not experienced people, they just found an opportunity to give pointers on this matter.
The auntie sighed again, "Yeah, like Xiaoyu, no matter if you choose something you don't like and regret it later, or you choose something you like and then regret it, there is always a way out. If it doesn't work, you can still inherit from your father. Your father works so hard in business, it’s not because of you. Just take a very popular saying among young people, you are already a winner in life if you have your father, and you don’t need to work so hard.”
On the surface, she has a smiling face, but she is full of irony in the open and in the dark.Song Yu didn't bother to agree, and drank the soup calmly, completely ignoring every word said by the people at the table.
But Song Jin, who has always been gentle, turned serious, "Sister-in-law."
Seeing his smiling face away, the eldest aunt was somewhat panicked, and before she had time to say a few more words, she heard Song Jin say.
"I worked hard, not to make him win at the starting line, but to give my son the freedom to choose."
Song Yu's hand also stopped.
"What I can give him is the confidence to insist on being himself."
Le Zhishi suddenly felt very moved. He had eaten many meals like this since he was a child. He didn’t understand it when he was a child. When we get together again, everyone will not break the superficial harmony.
Especially Uncle Song, he has never seen him lose his temper, he is always the one with a smile on his face to ease the atmosphere.
But this time, he stood up very seriously, stood in front of Song Yu, and escorted his choice.
Le Zhishi felt happy for Song Yu, but also a little envious.
Feeling frustrated, the eldest aunt naturally changed the subject. After all, her youngest son still doesn't know if he can be admitted to the undergraduate course, and he is ashamed to be too entangled in volunteering.Although a meal is embarrassing, the wonder of a Chinese-style meal with relatives is that no matter how tortuous and dramatic the process is, it can eventually be a standard ending for a family carnival, no matter if it is true or false.
During the remaining summer vacation, Le Zhishi also went to the library with Song Yu. The two rode to Xingtu, bought a cup of milk tea and lemonade on the way, and could stay in the library all day.
There was indeed no girl in the library that he fantasized about. The only one sitting across from Song Yu and watching him quietly reading and studying was Le Zhishi herself.
He has been regarded as a benchmark since he was a child, and he is moving towards his goal step by step, becoming an increasingly outstanding adult.
Pei Ya High School is about to start, Le Zhishi finally stopped going to the library with Song Yu, but locked himself in the room for a week.Song Yu thought that he wanted to play a little longer before school started and read comics or something. After all, he was about to enter high school and participate in military training.But what he didn't expect was that during the past few days, Lezhishi, who was bored in the bedroom, didn't play.
The high school started a little earlier than the university report, and the day before Lezhishi started, he sent a WeChat message to Song Yu who was still in the province.
[Le Zhishi: I want to eat barbecue, let's go to have barbecue tonight, it happens that Aunt Rong and Uncle Song are not going home today. ]
Song Yu naturally agreed.
They met at the agreed small restaurant.Delicious barbecue restaurants are generally very old, hidden in old communities full of human touch, and there are many small tables at the door for food stalls at night.Song Yu parked the car, and as soon as he got in, he saw Le Zhishi sitting by the window, looking down at the menu.
Le Zhishi had indeed grown up, with slender hands and feet and fair skin.He can be seen in the crowd at a glance. Apart from the appearance factor, there is also that pure and clean youthful feeling that cannot be ignored.
Song Yu walked over and sat across from him, Le Zhi immediately raised his head, his light pupils lit up, "You're here, I've already ordered some, do you want to add anything?" After speaking, he used the menu Covering his face, he gave Song Yu a hint in a low voice, "The next table ordered a crab foot noodle, which looks delicious."
"You can't eat." Song Yu replied ruthlessly, and took the menu in his hand.
Le Zhishi was very frustrated, and poured himself a glass of iced plum soup, "Okay." When pouring it for Song Yu again, he suddenly found that Song Yu had ticked the crab's feet again.
"Didn't you say you can't eat it?"
"You can eat crab claws." The corners of Song Yu's mouth twitched slightly.He raised his hand, called the waiter and asked, "Can the hot dry noodles in the crab feet noodles be replaced with wide noodles?"
"Yes, yes, powder is easier to break."
Le Zhishi was already very satisfied, "It's okay, fans are fine too."
Song Yu checked the food he ordered again, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he gave the checked menu to the waiter, took a sip of the sour plum soup that Le Zhishi handed him, and frowned.
"Is it very sour." Le Zhishi laughed, "I just took a sip and it was so sour." His hair is still soft and dark brown. It has not been cut for a long time at home on vacation, and it has started to curl again. It looks easy to knead .
"Go get a haircut before school starts," Song Yu reminded.
Le Zhi nodded, and while waiting for the meal, he took out a gift box from his bag and handed it to Song Yu across the table.
"What is this?" Song Yu asked.
"You can open it after you go back, you can't read it now." Before Song Yu received the box, Le Zhishi's hand took it back, and when he nodded in agreement, he let go, "I was going to buy it, But I don’t think the ones I bought are very good.”
Le Zhishi withdrew his arm and held the side of the plastic cup, "I read on the Internet the other day that it is best for boys to give gifts without handwork, as it is of little value. Generally speaking, the recipients will not like it very much." He clenched his fingers tightly, the cup deformed, and the sour plum soup inside almost overflowed, "And the people in the comments seem to agree with this point of view."
"But it's a bit late, I just checked Weibo last night, and this is already done." Le Zhishi's frustrated expression was restrained as much as possible, but it was still obvious, "So go back and read it again, no, you Take this to school and disassemble it, don't dismantle it at home, I don't want to see your dissatisfied expression after receiving it."
The expression on Song Yu's face changed, but this guy didn't give him a chance to speak at all.
Le Zhi looked up at him, "If you really don't like it, you can say so. If you tell me about it earlier, I won't keep doing so many useless crafts."
After finishing speaking, he raised his head and took a sip of sour plum soup. This posture seemed to be drinking away his sorrows.
In Song Yu's eyes, Le Zhishi's self-pity look was cute and pitiful, so he asked, "When should I tell you, kindergarten?"
Le Zhishi thought about it, really, the first gift he gave him was the kindness taught by the teacher in kindergarten.
"That's right." Le Zhishi said seriously, "This is called timely stop loss."
"It's not that I haven't refused." Song Yu raised his eyebrows.
Too.Le Zhi said, "That means you're not decisive enough to refuse."
Song Yu chuckled, "Have you ever seen me accept gifts from others?"
Le Zhishi shook his head, "No. But you accepted me because you had no choice, after all, I am your younger brother."
Song Yu tapped the table top with his fingers, "I can't help you if you think so."
"It's coming, it's coming," Le Zhishi put his hands on his cheeks, "I also saw this sentence on the Internet, and many people complained about it."
Song Yu didn't understand what he was talking about and frowned.
"Girls hate what their boyfriends say the most, and there is this sentence in it." He also deliberately imitated that extremely perfunctory look, "I can't help you if you think so, anyway, I am like this." Le Zhishi said Working hard, I didn't realize that I was using the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend as an analogy, and I didn't realize that when Song Yu said this, it was not a perfunctory attitude, but helplessness.
"Excuse me, your baked potato chips, pork tendons, green peppers, and crispy bones." The waiter brought up the skewers and interrupted the conversation between the two.Le Zhishi said thank you, and kind of forgot the content of the chat just now.
After the waiter left, Song Yu said, "Stop using the Internet."
Le Zhishi pursed his lips, did not refute, and picked up a bunch of baked potato chips to eat.
Crab feet noodles without noodles are also served quickly. The original crab feet noodles are actually very similar to braised crayfish, but the ingredients are replaced with crab claws. The burnt crab claws are spicy and delicious, and the sauce is rich. The noodles are simmered for a while to allow the noodles to fully absorb the soup. It is a late-night snack favored by the locals.
It's a pity that Lezhishi can't eat noodles. The staple food is replaced with noodles. Although it is not as tasty as noodles, the taste is smoother and refreshing, and the taste is not bad.
Le Zhishi is a very open-minded person, and he will not be disappointed at all if he changes the way he can't eat.The same is true for many things in life. If you are destined not to get it, you will not think too much.
Even if the crab claws cannot be pried open, he will simply give up and choose the next one to eat.
Le Zhishi always feels that he is probably the kind of person who will not force himself.
After feasting, they returned home.Marshmallow made a fuss about going downstairs, and when she was happy, she went to walk the dog alone.
Song Yu went back to his room and sat at the desk to observe the gifts from Lezhishi. In the past, the packaging of Lezhishi was also handmade, and he would draw some comics for embellishment, but this time he seemed to be stimulated, and he used many I know where to find the finished packaging box, it is very beautiful and looks very decent.
But Song Yu still liked the previous packaging. He never lost any of the gift boxes from childhood to adulthood.
Le Zhishi said that he would not allow it to be dismantled, and Song Yu followed suit, directly putting the box in the suitcase he was about to take to college, closing it and buckling it, and pushing it to the corner of the room.
After staying in the corner for only four days, this small suitcase accompanied Song Yu to W University to report.The school is on the other side of the river, not too close to home. Song Yu insisted on going alone, but Song Jin and Lin Rong felt that this was a major event in their son's life, so they had to send him no matter what.
The school is surrounded by mountains and lakes, and the classical architecture and western style are blended with layers of greenery, which is very beautiful.The volunteers who welcome the new students are also very enthusiastic and try their best to help the new students.They drove in, and the school was bigger than expected. Lin Rong wanted to follow Song Yu into the dormitory, but Song Yu directly refused.
Song Jin smoothed things over and said, "Xiaoyu is already this old, if you go up and make trouble, you will be laughed at by your roommates."
Lin Rong didn't take it seriously, "If Lele would be willing to let me go up."
"So you still have another chance, don't regret it." Song Yu said.
Under Song Yu's repeated refusal, the two parents only wandered around for a while before returning home. After all, they were busy with work and their school was in the same city, so they could come whenever they wanted.
After seeing off his parents, Song Yu dragged his suitcase to the designated reporting location, which was the square in front of the General Library of Arts and Sciences.The major he chose was very unpopular, and the number of people reporting was much smaller than that of the compound. The efficiency was high, and the queue ended in a short time.
After the report was over, Song Yu took the accommodation list and map, and was about to go to the dormitory. There was a reminder that he could take the campus bus, so he dragged his suitcase and found a stop.
Standing alone for a while, Song Yu looked down at the watch on his wrist. When he looked up again, another person approached not far away, dragging a box. He looked pale and tired.
There are always many coincidences in life.
A few months ago, Song Yu couldn't send a greeting because he didn't have any contact information, and now it was circling in his mind.
But until the distance between Xu Qichen and him was less than three meters, he didn't speak first.
After realizing that there was another person, Xu Qichen, who was staring at the map in his hand, raised his head and met Song Yu's gaze.There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but soon returned to indifferent eyes.
He has lost a lot of weight, and his already thin body looks even thinner now. He is wearing a half-new white T-shirt, light-colored jeans, glasses, and his eyes are not bright.
Song Yu finally took the initiative to speak, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect us to become alumni."
Xu Qichen pursed his lips, as if he was reluctant to speak, and finally just nodded.Song Yu wasn't sure whether he agreed with this sentence, or just said hello.
The campus bus didn't come for a long time, Xu Qichen seemed to want to leave, Song Yu saw that he had a lot of things and a big suitcase, and felt a little moved.He was actually not a helpful person at all, but when he thought of Xia Zhixu and Le Zhi, no matter who they were, he would never leave Xu Qichen alone.
So he stepped forward and helped Xu Qichen pick up a luggage.
"If you don't need a car, the dormitory should be nearby." Song Yu glanced at the board in his hand, "I'll take you there."
"No need." This was the first sentence Xu Qichen said.His whole body is not in the right state, as if he could fall down if the wind blows.
Song Yu frowned, and asked a question that he thought was ridiculous, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Xu Qichen didn't look at him, "It's pretty good."
"It doesn't look like that." Song Yu pointed it out directly.
Xu Qichen finally raised his head and looked at Song Yu, "Why should I lie?"
Song Yu paused, unable to answer for a moment, after all, he was not Xu Qichen's friend, at best he was a friend of a friend.
"I've also heard about what happened before. Xia Zhixu was very anxious when he knew what happened to you."
What he said were all facts, but in fact they were all nonsense, Xu Qichen would not be ignorant of this.So when he finished speaking, Xu Qichen's face was also expressionless, the sun was very hot, and the two of them stood in an unobstructed place, facing each other.
"Thank you for telling me." Xu Qichen looked at the shadow on the ground, which was completely black.
Song Yu didn't want him to have such an attitude, he tried to redeem something for Xia Zhixu, "Xu Qichen..."
"Do you think it's a pity?" Xu Qichen suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Song Yu.
Song Yu was startled.
"What's the pity?" Xu Qichen smiled, "What's so bad about it now?"
Rumors are the most capable of destroying a person. Song Yu knows this, especially a sensitive person like Xu Qichen, but he still feels that the result of these two people should not be like this.But at this moment, seeing Xu Qichen's appearance, he felt a trace of doubt in his heart.
"You left so simply, don't you regret it at all?"
Xu Qichen laughed again, and the humming of cicadas drowned out his chuckle, "If I want to regret, there are really many things I should regret. I should regret letting my parents take me on a trip after the high school entrance examination, and regret that the only one who survived the accident was I regret that I took that bus on the first day of high school and happened to meet Xia Zhixu."
His voice was a little trembling, and he stopped for a few seconds at the end, then recovered a bit, "No, the last thing I should regret is meeting him, after all, he is the one who pulled me back up."
A few chatting and joking girls came, probably also new students, their words were full of anticipation and hope.
In this day when everything can be repeated, who is not full of hope for the future?
Xu Qichen took his salute from him, raised his head and said to Song Yu, "But if I had to do it all over again, I'd rather never have met."
After finishing speaking, he politely smiled at Song Yu, as calm as the first time we met, and expressed his gratitude, "If you really want to make it easier for me, just pretend you don't know me at school. After all, the two of us There shouldn't be much contact with the academy."
"Seeing you makes me think of him constantly, and I don't want to do that anymore."
When the car arrived, the group of happy girls got into the car, but Xu Qichen left by himself.
Song Yu fell into some indescribable emotion. He got into the car, and the space in the car was so cramped that he couldn't breathe.On the first day of school, he met a familiar face who could not be called an old friend in the new school, but the other party was no longer the same person as before.
The dormitory he was assigned was a row of relatively new buildings, four-person room, and he was the first one to come.The dormitory was not as big as his bedroom, and Song Yu always felt empty when he opened the window.He didn't really want to stop and rest, so he started making the bed, putting on the mattress, sheets, cleaning, and finally, unpacking his only suitcase.
The things he brought were pitifully small. The half of the box on the left contained his basic clothing and supplies, and on the right was a very empty gift box and a photo album.
Song Yu took out the photo album, flipped through it, and found a doll-like child inside.
According to Le Zhishi's explanation, Song Yu took out the school opening gift that he had received many days in advance, sat on a chair, and silently unwrapped it.
In fact, he had imagined many possibilities about what outrageous things he would receive this time, but what he got in the end was far from what he had imagined.
Le Zhishi gave him a globe.
The base and support are all hand-carved wood, polished exquisitely, and painted with imitation metal copper-colored paint, and the earth, the rivers, land and mountains on it, the seven oceans and four continents, the latitude and longitude lines, each The tiny details and small marks here and there are all drawn by Le Zhishi, imitating the real globe.
It was hard for him to imagine how much time it took.
Song Yu stared at the heavy globe in his hand, all he could think of was Xu Qichen's words.
People who have lost hope can choose not to meet each other, as a timely stop loss, but he has no way to cut this relationship. From that rainy night when he broke in without authorization, Song Yu has become an older brother, whether he wants to or not, whether he wants to or not. Change.Time cannot be reversed, and everything they have experienced is a memory and a prison.
Sometimes Song Yu would rather that they were strangers and had a stranger's beginning.
But he couldn't let go of those memories of growing up together.
In essence, he is the one who is deeply in conflict but can't give up.
In the quiet dormitory, Song Yu put the globe in his hand on his desk, and outside the window came the sound of many new students starting school, noisy and full of youthful vigor.He leaned on the back of the chair, with his outstretched arms resting on the table, and tapped his fingertips on the sphere, causing the sphere to rotate gently, as if being blown by the wind.
This globe stayed quietly on his desk, and spent many nights with him reading books.
The first time it rained, Song Yu was outside and always worried about whether the dormitory windows were closed. Later, he didn't want to worry, so he simply made a glass cover.
In March, the cherry blossoms bloom, and the petals occasionally float in, but they are blocked by the glass and cannot fall into any ocean current described by Le Zhishi.
When it snows, the dormitory is very cold, and the glass cover will be covered with a thin layer of white mist from time to time, and the little earth inside becomes misty and blurred.
Occasionally he pokes his fingertips, lightly pressing against the glass cover, leaving a fingerprint, sometimes even a name.But it stays for a short time and will be wiped off soon.
As if nothing had happened.
The man in the hood, and his globe, are safe.
"Song Yu's globe has been on the table for almost three years. It's as good as new." Roommate Chen Fangyuan ate potato chips, bent over to look at his globe carefully, and was more interested in going to the geological museum. "The painting is really good, it's the first time I've looked so closely."
"Don't move, he won't be happy when he comes out of the shower." Another roommate, Wang Chengzhi, the head of the room, packed up his things, zipped up his bag, and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window. It feels like it's going to rain again, I have to go home quickly, my mother is still waiting for me to eat lunch."
"Let's go, let's go," Chen Fangyuan stood up straight and stretched his waist, "Lao Liu accompanied his girlfriend, you want to go home, everyone left, I will go to my brother's place to play in a while. The rest We, handsome Song, guard the empty boudoir alone."
"He is too. He is obviously from the local area. He doesn't go home all the time and stays in the laboratory every day."
While the two were talking, Song Yu came out of the bathroom and wiped his hair. Seeing that Wang Chengzhi was about to leave, he reminded him, "Remember to bring an umbrella."
"Don't worry." Wang Chengzhi put his bag on his back, "When I come back, I will bring you my mother's stewed beef."
"I'll go down with you, grab an umbrella."
"You lost a few more umbrellas this semester, really..."
The dormitory was quiet again, he dried his hair, the sky became more gloomy, it was clearly in the morning, but it looked like it was evening.Sitting back at his desk, Song Yu turned on the desk lamp and began to read. His phone vibrated, but he ignored it, thinking it was his roommate.
But the shock didn't end after a while, and the news spread out again and again, and there was only one person in this style.
So Song Yu put down the book and turned on the phone.
[Le Zhishi: Brother, I'm on a monthly leave]
[Le Zhishi: Aunt Rong said she made soup for you, but she couldn't come because she had something to do, so she asked me if I had time, guess what I said? ]
[Le Zhishi: "Is there such a good thing?"]
[Le Zhishi: The above is the ins and outs.I'm going to your school to find you, and I'll be there in the afternoon]
[Le Zhishi: Wait for me, brother]
"What are you doing?" He raised his hand to remove his brother's troublesome hand, but he heard Song Yu say, "Your ability to observe words and emotions needs to be improved."
"Huh?" Le Zhishi grabbed Song Yu's wrist with both hands, a little surprised.
"They all support me." Song Yu didn't make an expression, but tilted his head, "Same as you."
After finishing speaking, he patted Le Zhishi's face lightly twice, turned around and opened the door of Le Zhishi's bedroom, "Let's go."
Le Zhishi felt that he was being stupid again, but thinking that everyone supported Song Yu, he felt that being a little bit stupid was nothing, and everyone was happy.Volunteering was a matter of course, and the whole family was very happy on the day the admission notice was sent.The eldest son is admitted to university, and out of reason, he wants to treat his relatives to a meal.
At the dinner table, the uncle expressed his dissatisfaction with Song Yu's volunteer several times.
"There is no future. If you do well in the exam, you will go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. What's the point of staying in the local area? It's such an unpopular major. Today's young people are all learning high-tech such as IT, and the money comes very quickly. "
Le Zhishi was very angry about this kind of paternalistic blow, but he had no position to retaliate, so he had to give Song Yu a chopstick of beef.
"I'm not short of money." Song Yu said flatly, "The major you said is very good, but I'm not interested."
The eldest aunt smiled, as if trying to smooth things over, "Xiaoyu, your uncle is also thinking of you, yes, interest is the most important thing, but the major of surveying and mapping is too unpopular, many people have never heard of it, no good Get a job."
"Besides, W is not bad, but your score can be higher than T, what a pity, even if you go to T for a slightly more common major. You are still too young, you will go out to find a job in the future, no matter what Professional, as soon as T speaks out, he will have face, and others will look up to him."
Lin Rong couldn't hold back her anger, "If that's the case, why doesn't my sister-in-law work in the cafeteria of T University, why does she stay in the local school? She doesn't steam steamed buns to save herself, the cafeteria of University T will have more face when she speaks out."
The eldest aunt was so stunned by her that she had nothing to say, Le Zhishi couldn't help but hold back her laughter, and even shook her legs happily, only to be stopped by Song Yu's palm under the table.
The atmosphere was not very good, Song Jin said a few words, "Xiao Yu's grades can indeed go to those schools, but we weighed it, if he goes to T University to study a major he doesn't like, and then finds a job he doesn't like. We don’t want him to be pushed around in the rest of his life. Since he already has a life plan and wants to engage in surveying and mapping research, he naturally chooses the top school for this major. Of course,” he said. Looking at Song Yu, "The words of uncle and aunt are also the experience of those who have been there, so you have to listen to them."
Le Zhishi thought to himself, they haven't even studied in university, so they are not experienced people, they just found an opportunity to give pointers on this matter.
The auntie sighed again, "Yeah, like Xiaoyu, no matter if you choose something you don't like and regret it later, or you choose something you like and then regret it, there is always a way out. If it doesn't work, you can still inherit from your father. Your father works so hard in business, it’s not because of you. Just take a very popular saying among young people, you are already a winner in life if you have your father, and you don’t need to work so hard.”
On the surface, she has a smiling face, but she is full of irony in the open and in the dark.Song Yu didn't bother to agree, and drank the soup calmly, completely ignoring every word said by the people at the table.
But Song Jin, who has always been gentle, turned serious, "Sister-in-law."
Seeing his smiling face away, the eldest aunt was somewhat panicked, and before she had time to say a few more words, she heard Song Jin say.
"I worked hard, not to make him win at the starting line, but to give my son the freedom to choose."
Song Yu's hand also stopped.
"What I can give him is the confidence to insist on being himself."
Le Zhishi suddenly felt very moved. He had eaten many meals like this since he was a child. He didn’t understand it when he was a child. When we get together again, everyone will not break the superficial harmony.
Especially Uncle Song, he has never seen him lose his temper, he is always the one with a smile on his face to ease the atmosphere.
But this time, he stood up very seriously, stood in front of Song Yu, and escorted his choice.
Le Zhishi felt happy for Song Yu, but also a little envious.
Feeling frustrated, the eldest aunt naturally changed the subject. After all, her youngest son still doesn't know if he can be admitted to the undergraduate course, and he is ashamed to be too entangled in volunteering.Although a meal is embarrassing, the wonder of a Chinese-style meal with relatives is that no matter how tortuous and dramatic the process is, it can eventually be a standard ending for a family carnival, no matter if it is true or false.
During the remaining summer vacation, Le Zhishi also went to the library with Song Yu. The two rode to Xingtu, bought a cup of milk tea and lemonade on the way, and could stay in the library all day.
There was indeed no girl in the library that he fantasized about. The only one sitting across from Song Yu and watching him quietly reading and studying was Le Zhishi herself.
He has been regarded as a benchmark since he was a child, and he is moving towards his goal step by step, becoming an increasingly outstanding adult.
Pei Ya High School is about to start, Le Zhishi finally stopped going to the library with Song Yu, but locked himself in the room for a week.Song Yu thought that he wanted to play a little longer before school started and read comics or something. After all, he was about to enter high school and participate in military training.But what he didn't expect was that during the past few days, Lezhishi, who was bored in the bedroom, didn't play.
The high school started a little earlier than the university report, and the day before Lezhishi started, he sent a WeChat message to Song Yu who was still in the province.
[Le Zhishi: I want to eat barbecue, let's go to have barbecue tonight, it happens that Aunt Rong and Uncle Song are not going home today. ]
Song Yu naturally agreed.
They met at the agreed small restaurant.Delicious barbecue restaurants are generally very old, hidden in old communities full of human touch, and there are many small tables at the door for food stalls at night.Song Yu parked the car, and as soon as he got in, he saw Le Zhishi sitting by the window, looking down at the menu.
Le Zhishi had indeed grown up, with slender hands and feet and fair skin.He can be seen in the crowd at a glance. Apart from the appearance factor, there is also that pure and clean youthful feeling that cannot be ignored.
Song Yu walked over and sat across from him, Le Zhi immediately raised his head, his light pupils lit up, "You're here, I've already ordered some, do you want to add anything?" After speaking, he used the menu Covering his face, he gave Song Yu a hint in a low voice, "The next table ordered a crab foot noodle, which looks delicious."
"You can't eat." Song Yu replied ruthlessly, and took the menu in his hand.
Le Zhishi was very frustrated, and poured himself a glass of iced plum soup, "Okay." When pouring it for Song Yu again, he suddenly found that Song Yu had ticked the crab's feet again.
"Didn't you say you can't eat it?"
"You can eat crab claws." The corners of Song Yu's mouth twitched slightly.He raised his hand, called the waiter and asked, "Can the hot dry noodles in the crab feet noodles be replaced with wide noodles?"
"Yes, yes, powder is easier to break."
Le Zhishi was already very satisfied, "It's okay, fans are fine too."
Song Yu checked the food he ordered again, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he gave the checked menu to the waiter, took a sip of the sour plum soup that Le Zhishi handed him, and frowned.
"Is it very sour." Le Zhishi laughed, "I just took a sip and it was so sour." His hair is still soft and dark brown. It has not been cut for a long time at home on vacation, and it has started to curl again. It looks easy to knead .
"Go get a haircut before school starts," Song Yu reminded.
Le Zhi nodded, and while waiting for the meal, he took out a gift box from his bag and handed it to Song Yu across the table.
"What is this?" Song Yu asked.
"You can open it after you go back, you can't read it now." Before Song Yu received the box, Le Zhishi's hand took it back, and when he nodded in agreement, he let go, "I was going to buy it, But I don’t think the ones I bought are very good.”
Le Zhishi withdrew his arm and held the side of the plastic cup, "I read on the Internet the other day that it is best for boys to give gifts without handwork, as it is of little value. Generally speaking, the recipients will not like it very much." He clenched his fingers tightly, the cup deformed, and the sour plum soup inside almost overflowed, "And the people in the comments seem to agree with this point of view."
"But it's a bit late, I just checked Weibo last night, and this is already done." Le Zhishi's frustrated expression was restrained as much as possible, but it was still obvious, "So go back and read it again, no, you Take this to school and disassemble it, don't dismantle it at home, I don't want to see your dissatisfied expression after receiving it."
The expression on Song Yu's face changed, but this guy didn't give him a chance to speak at all.
Le Zhi looked up at him, "If you really don't like it, you can say so. If you tell me about it earlier, I won't keep doing so many useless crafts."
After finishing speaking, he raised his head and took a sip of sour plum soup. This posture seemed to be drinking away his sorrows.
In Song Yu's eyes, Le Zhishi's self-pity look was cute and pitiful, so he asked, "When should I tell you, kindergarten?"
Le Zhishi thought about it, really, the first gift he gave him was the kindness taught by the teacher in kindergarten.
"That's right." Le Zhishi said seriously, "This is called timely stop loss."
"It's not that I haven't refused." Song Yu raised his eyebrows.
Too.Le Zhi said, "That means you're not decisive enough to refuse."
Song Yu chuckled, "Have you ever seen me accept gifts from others?"
Le Zhishi shook his head, "No. But you accepted me because you had no choice, after all, I am your younger brother."
Song Yu tapped the table top with his fingers, "I can't help you if you think so."
"It's coming, it's coming," Le Zhishi put his hands on his cheeks, "I also saw this sentence on the Internet, and many people complained about it."
Song Yu didn't understand what he was talking about and frowned.
"Girls hate what their boyfriends say the most, and there is this sentence in it." He also deliberately imitated that extremely perfunctory look, "I can't help you if you think so, anyway, I am like this." Le Zhishi said Working hard, I didn't realize that I was using the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend as an analogy, and I didn't realize that when Song Yu said this, it was not a perfunctory attitude, but helplessness.
"Excuse me, your baked potato chips, pork tendons, green peppers, and crispy bones." The waiter brought up the skewers and interrupted the conversation between the two.Le Zhishi said thank you, and kind of forgot the content of the chat just now.
After the waiter left, Song Yu said, "Stop using the Internet."
Le Zhishi pursed his lips, did not refute, and picked up a bunch of baked potato chips to eat.
Crab feet noodles without noodles are also served quickly. The original crab feet noodles are actually very similar to braised crayfish, but the ingredients are replaced with crab claws. The burnt crab claws are spicy and delicious, and the sauce is rich. The noodles are simmered for a while to allow the noodles to fully absorb the soup. It is a late-night snack favored by the locals.
It's a pity that Lezhishi can't eat noodles. The staple food is replaced with noodles. Although it is not as tasty as noodles, the taste is smoother and refreshing, and the taste is not bad.
Le Zhishi is a very open-minded person, and he will not be disappointed at all if he changes the way he can't eat.The same is true for many things in life. If you are destined not to get it, you will not think too much.
Even if the crab claws cannot be pried open, he will simply give up and choose the next one to eat.
Le Zhishi always feels that he is probably the kind of person who will not force himself.
After feasting, they returned home.Marshmallow made a fuss about going downstairs, and when she was happy, she went to walk the dog alone.
Song Yu went back to his room and sat at the desk to observe the gifts from Lezhishi. In the past, the packaging of Lezhishi was also handmade, and he would draw some comics for embellishment, but this time he seemed to be stimulated, and he used many I know where to find the finished packaging box, it is very beautiful and looks very decent.
But Song Yu still liked the previous packaging. He never lost any of the gift boxes from childhood to adulthood.
Le Zhishi said that he would not allow it to be dismantled, and Song Yu followed suit, directly putting the box in the suitcase he was about to take to college, closing it and buckling it, and pushing it to the corner of the room.
After staying in the corner for only four days, this small suitcase accompanied Song Yu to W University to report.The school is on the other side of the river, not too close to home. Song Yu insisted on going alone, but Song Jin and Lin Rong felt that this was a major event in their son's life, so they had to send him no matter what.
The school is surrounded by mountains and lakes, and the classical architecture and western style are blended with layers of greenery, which is very beautiful.The volunteers who welcome the new students are also very enthusiastic and try their best to help the new students.They drove in, and the school was bigger than expected. Lin Rong wanted to follow Song Yu into the dormitory, but Song Yu directly refused.
Song Jin smoothed things over and said, "Xiaoyu is already this old, if you go up and make trouble, you will be laughed at by your roommates."
Lin Rong didn't take it seriously, "If Lele would be willing to let me go up."
"So you still have another chance, don't regret it." Song Yu said.
Under Song Yu's repeated refusal, the two parents only wandered around for a while before returning home. After all, they were busy with work and their school was in the same city, so they could come whenever they wanted.
After seeing off his parents, Song Yu dragged his suitcase to the designated reporting location, which was the square in front of the General Library of Arts and Sciences.The major he chose was very unpopular, and the number of people reporting was much smaller than that of the compound. The efficiency was high, and the queue ended in a short time.
After the report was over, Song Yu took the accommodation list and map, and was about to go to the dormitory. There was a reminder that he could take the campus bus, so he dragged his suitcase and found a stop.
Standing alone for a while, Song Yu looked down at the watch on his wrist. When he looked up again, another person approached not far away, dragging a box. He looked pale and tired.
There are always many coincidences in life.
A few months ago, Song Yu couldn't send a greeting because he didn't have any contact information, and now it was circling in his mind.
But until the distance between Xu Qichen and him was less than three meters, he didn't speak first.
After realizing that there was another person, Xu Qichen, who was staring at the map in his hand, raised his head and met Song Yu's gaze.There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but soon returned to indifferent eyes.
He has lost a lot of weight, and his already thin body looks even thinner now. He is wearing a half-new white T-shirt, light-colored jeans, glasses, and his eyes are not bright.
Song Yu finally took the initiative to speak, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect us to become alumni."
Xu Qichen pursed his lips, as if he was reluctant to speak, and finally just nodded.Song Yu wasn't sure whether he agreed with this sentence, or just said hello.
The campus bus didn't come for a long time, Xu Qichen seemed to want to leave, Song Yu saw that he had a lot of things and a big suitcase, and felt a little moved.He was actually not a helpful person at all, but when he thought of Xia Zhixu and Le Zhi, no matter who they were, he would never leave Xu Qichen alone.
So he stepped forward and helped Xu Qichen pick up a luggage.
"If you don't need a car, the dormitory should be nearby." Song Yu glanced at the board in his hand, "I'll take you there."
"No need." This was the first sentence Xu Qichen said.His whole body is not in the right state, as if he could fall down if the wind blows.
Song Yu frowned, and asked a question that he thought was ridiculous, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Xu Qichen didn't look at him, "It's pretty good."
"It doesn't look like that." Song Yu pointed it out directly.
Xu Qichen finally raised his head and looked at Song Yu, "Why should I lie?"
Song Yu paused, unable to answer for a moment, after all, he was not Xu Qichen's friend, at best he was a friend of a friend.
"I've also heard about what happened before. Xia Zhixu was very anxious when he knew what happened to you."
What he said were all facts, but in fact they were all nonsense, Xu Qichen would not be ignorant of this.So when he finished speaking, Xu Qichen's face was also expressionless, the sun was very hot, and the two of them stood in an unobstructed place, facing each other.
"Thank you for telling me." Xu Qichen looked at the shadow on the ground, which was completely black.
Song Yu didn't want him to have such an attitude, he tried to redeem something for Xia Zhixu, "Xu Qichen..."
"Do you think it's a pity?" Xu Qichen suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Song Yu.
Song Yu was startled.
"What's the pity?" Xu Qichen smiled, "What's so bad about it now?"
Rumors are the most capable of destroying a person. Song Yu knows this, especially a sensitive person like Xu Qichen, but he still feels that the result of these two people should not be like this.But at this moment, seeing Xu Qichen's appearance, he felt a trace of doubt in his heart.
"You left so simply, don't you regret it at all?"
Xu Qichen laughed again, and the humming of cicadas drowned out his chuckle, "If I want to regret, there are really many things I should regret. I should regret letting my parents take me on a trip after the high school entrance examination, and regret that the only one who survived the accident was I regret that I took that bus on the first day of high school and happened to meet Xia Zhixu."
His voice was a little trembling, and he stopped for a few seconds at the end, then recovered a bit, "No, the last thing I should regret is meeting him, after all, he is the one who pulled me back up."
A few chatting and joking girls came, probably also new students, their words were full of anticipation and hope.
In this day when everything can be repeated, who is not full of hope for the future?
Xu Qichen took his salute from him, raised his head and said to Song Yu, "But if I had to do it all over again, I'd rather never have met."
After finishing speaking, he politely smiled at Song Yu, as calm as the first time we met, and expressed his gratitude, "If you really want to make it easier for me, just pretend you don't know me at school. After all, the two of us There shouldn't be much contact with the academy."
"Seeing you makes me think of him constantly, and I don't want to do that anymore."
When the car arrived, the group of happy girls got into the car, but Xu Qichen left by himself.
Song Yu fell into some indescribable emotion. He got into the car, and the space in the car was so cramped that he couldn't breathe.On the first day of school, he met a familiar face who could not be called an old friend in the new school, but the other party was no longer the same person as before.
The dormitory he was assigned was a row of relatively new buildings, four-person room, and he was the first one to come.The dormitory was not as big as his bedroom, and Song Yu always felt empty when he opened the window.He didn't really want to stop and rest, so he started making the bed, putting on the mattress, sheets, cleaning, and finally, unpacking his only suitcase.
The things he brought were pitifully small. The half of the box on the left contained his basic clothing and supplies, and on the right was a very empty gift box and a photo album.
Song Yu took out the photo album, flipped through it, and found a doll-like child inside.
According to Le Zhishi's explanation, Song Yu took out the school opening gift that he had received many days in advance, sat on a chair, and silently unwrapped it.
In fact, he had imagined many possibilities about what outrageous things he would receive this time, but what he got in the end was far from what he had imagined.
Le Zhishi gave him a globe.
The base and support are all hand-carved wood, polished exquisitely, and painted with imitation metal copper-colored paint, and the earth, the rivers, land and mountains on it, the seven oceans and four continents, the latitude and longitude lines, each The tiny details and small marks here and there are all drawn by Le Zhishi, imitating the real globe.
It was hard for him to imagine how much time it took.
Song Yu stared at the heavy globe in his hand, all he could think of was Xu Qichen's words.
People who have lost hope can choose not to meet each other, as a timely stop loss, but he has no way to cut this relationship. From that rainy night when he broke in without authorization, Song Yu has become an older brother, whether he wants to or not, whether he wants to or not. Change.Time cannot be reversed, and everything they have experienced is a memory and a prison.
Sometimes Song Yu would rather that they were strangers and had a stranger's beginning.
But he couldn't let go of those memories of growing up together.
In essence, he is the one who is deeply in conflict but can't give up.
In the quiet dormitory, Song Yu put the globe in his hand on his desk, and outside the window came the sound of many new students starting school, noisy and full of youthful vigor.He leaned on the back of the chair, with his outstretched arms resting on the table, and tapped his fingertips on the sphere, causing the sphere to rotate gently, as if being blown by the wind.
This globe stayed quietly on his desk, and spent many nights with him reading books.
The first time it rained, Song Yu was outside and always worried about whether the dormitory windows were closed. Later, he didn't want to worry, so he simply made a glass cover.
In March, the cherry blossoms bloom, and the petals occasionally float in, but they are blocked by the glass and cannot fall into any ocean current described by Le Zhishi.
When it snows, the dormitory is very cold, and the glass cover will be covered with a thin layer of white mist from time to time, and the little earth inside becomes misty and blurred.
Occasionally he pokes his fingertips, lightly pressing against the glass cover, leaving a fingerprint, sometimes even a name.But it stays for a short time and will be wiped off soon.
As if nothing had happened.
The man in the hood, and his globe, are safe.
"Song Yu's globe has been on the table for almost three years. It's as good as new." Roommate Chen Fangyuan ate potato chips, bent over to look at his globe carefully, and was more interested in going to the geological museum. "The painting is really good, it's the first time I've looked so closely."
"Don't move, he won't be happy when he comes out of the shower." Another roommate, Wang Chengzhi, the head of the room, packed up his things, zipped up his bag, and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window. It feels like it's going to rain again, I have to go home quickly, my mother is still waiting for me to eat lunch."
"Let's go, let's go," Chen Fangyuan stood up straight and stretched his waist, "Lao Liu accompanied his girlfriend, you want to go home, everyone left, I will go to my brother's place to play in a while. The rest We, handsome Song, guard the empty boudoir alone."
"He is too. He is obviously from the local area. He doesn't go home all the time and stays in the laboratory every day."
While the two were talking, Song Yu came out of the bathroom and wiped his hair. Seeing that Wang Chengzhi was about to leave, he reminded him, "Remember to bring an umbrella."
"Don't worry." Wang Chengzhi put his bag on his back, "When I come back, I will bring you my mother's stewed beef."
"I'll go down with you, grab an umbrella."
"You lost a few more umbrellas this semester, really..."
The dormitory was quiet again, he dried his hair, the sky became more gloomy, it was clearly in the morning, but it looked like it was evening.Sitting back at his desk, Song Yu turned on the desk lamp and began to read. His phone vibrated, but he ignored it, thinking it was his roommate.
But the shock didn't end after a while, and the news spread out again and again, and there was only one person in this style.
So Song Yu put down the book and turned on the phone.
[Le Zhishi: Brother, I'm on a monthly leave]
[Le Zhishi: Aunt Rong said she made soup for you, but she couldn't come because she had something to do, so she asked me if I had time, guess what I said? ]
[Le Zhishi: "Is there such a good thing?"]
[Le Zhishi: The above is the ins and outs.I'm going to your school to find you, and I'll be there in the afternoon]
[Le Zhishi: Wait for me, brother]
