Be good

At two o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun shines from the balcony into the room of the old building, Gu Yang is squatting in the living room to pack his suitcase.

When the box was closed, he raised his head and asked, "Brother, are you really leaving?"

Zong Cheng sat on the chair beside the small table, sorting out the books: "Well, you go too."

Gu Yang glanced at him: "I thought I would finish junior high school here."

Zongcheng didn't reply.

Originally, he was supposed to finish junior high school here, but now that Gu Zhiqiang's incident happened, it is impossible to let him stay.

Ji Cai dragged another empty suitcase over, put it next to Zongcheng, and looked at him: "Why did you suddenly decide to leave early, did something happen to you and Brother Xi?"

When Gu Yang heard it, he immediately looked over, his eyes widened.

There was no change on Zongcheng's face, and he said lightly: "It's nothing, he decided to go to Shanghai to go to university, that's all."

"Going to Shanghai?" Ji Cai was surprised: "He was working so hard before, didn't he just want to go to Beijing with you?"

"There will always be changes," Zongcheng said. "When I was working hard before, no one thought that I would be stabbed."

Ji Cai was stunned for a moment, and probably understood a little bit. Seeing that Gu Yang was still there, she held back, didn't continue, and smiled: "Then go to my place first, and it's time for a graduation trip. Gu Yang is looking for a good school, didn’t you already set your sights on one? The boarding school is pretty good, and Gu Yang is very independent now.”

"I'm going to go back and pay homage to my mother first." Zongcheng stood up, stretched out his hand and dragged his suitcase, just in time to see the cushion next to the small table, with the word "Good" embroidered on it.

For a moment, the figure who was lying on the small table and immersed himself in the papers in the past seemed to be still there, and the way he was humming a song or shaking his pen in his mind still appeared in his mind.

Zong Cheng pursed his lips, glanced at Tom who was circling beside him, turned his head, and concentrated on packing his things.

When the things were almost finished, Gu Yang hugged Tom, opened the door, and turned around to ask: "Brother, does Brother Xi know that we are leaving today?"

Zong Cheng put one hand in his trouser pocket, touched his cell phone, and nodded: "Tell him."

"Then will he come to see us off?" Gu Yang asked again.

Zongcheng didn't answer, and walked out the door with the suitcase: "I'll send the things down first, and you follow."

On the road downstairs, Lu Feng's truck was parked.

Zongcheng put the suitcase in the car and looked in through the lowered window of the driver's seat: "I'm sorry, Brother Lu."

Lu Feng smoked in the car: "It's okay, I just happen to be free, and you have to take the dog with you, so it's easier to drive."

Zongcheng glanced at the road, took out his mobile phone, turned it on, and looked down.

"Do you still have to wait for him?" Lu Feng asked: "If you want to wait, just wait a while, anyway, there is no rush."

Zongcheng touched the WeChat on the screen with his fingers, and there was a dialog box with Guaizi on it, and shook his head: "It's okay, let's go."

A sentence floated in the WeChat dialog box.

--I am leaving.

Lin Qianxi stared at this sentence, with a cigarette in his mouth, squatting on the dilapidated wall beside the road, with his schoolbag and travel bag at his feet.

In the distance, he heard the familiar roar of Lu Feng's truck approaching, he immediately raised his head and watched the car drive by on the road ahead.

Sitting in the passenger seat was a cold and cool figure, with his head down, probably looking at his mobile phone, clean short hair, and a chiseled profile, flashed past his eyes through the window glass.

Lin Qianxi clenched the cigarette holder tightly, put his hands on the wall, subconsciously moved forward, almost jumped down to chase, but held back in time, and slowly squatted back.

Only then did he lower his head and type with his fingers.

——Safe journey, Lord Cheng.

After distributing, he jumped down from the wall, threw away the cigarette butt and stamped it out, grabbed his bags in each hand, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction.

When he saw the news from Zongcheng today, he decided to leave too.

At six o'clock in the evening, Lin Qianxi was already at the train station. From the ticket office to the waiting room, he walked back and forth several times. Before he knew it, two or three hours had passed.

The waiting room was noisy, two children were running around, and the old man who collected the rags was waiting for a man to drink a half-drinked mineral water bottle.

Tickets are bought at night, before departure time.

Lin Qianxi held the ticket and put it in his trouser pocket, and only now remembered that he hadn't eaten since he received the WeChat message from Zongcheng.

He carried his bag and went to the small shop in the station to buy a bowl of noodles.

After he sat down on the chair with the soaked noodles and took a few mouthfuls, he suddenly remembered the bowl of instant noodles that Zongcheng and Zong Cheng ate in the car. At that time, he didn't know it was his longevity noodles.

Lin Qianxi swallowed the noodles one by one, and finally couldn't eat any more. He took a breath, stood up, threw the noodle bowl into the trash can, and went to the toilet again.

It took 2 minutes, after washing my face, I sat back on the chair, and it was getting dark outside.

He wanted to check his phone to see what Zongcheng had said, but he hadn't reached out to touch his trouser pocket for a long time, so he had to wait a while.

"Lin Qianxi." Lu Feng's voice sounded.

He turned his head and saw Lu Feng walking all the way from the outside, dusty, he should have just got out of the car.

"How did you come?"

"I'll drop by to see you off when I get back." Lu Feng said, "I'll see you off well. I have to come here to give you an errand. Didn't you ask me to see you off?"

"Well, thank you Brother Lu, a good man will live a safe life." Lin Qianxi twitched his lips.

Lu Feng sat down next to him: "Why don't you just ask me to see you off? Although he didn't say anything, I can tell that he wants to see you."

Lin Qianxi leaned back in his chair and lowered his eyes: "If Yang Rui is leaving, can you go and see him off properly?"

Lu Feng actually choked for a moment, took out the cigarette, and handed him one.

Lin Qianxi picked it up without smoking. He just held it and asked, "Is he on the plane?"

"Come on, it took a while to bring the dog and took a little time." Lu Feng dialed the lighter: "Leave the dog to Yang Rui earlier, but what do you have to do with it? See how cool he is. Not like someone who likes that cute thing."

Lin Qianxi didn't answer.

"The train at night?" Lu Feng lit a cigarette and suddenly remembered.

"Yeah." Lin Qianxi turned his head and stared at the wall.

There was a picture posted there, and he'd been looking at it all these hours walking around the train station.

Lu Feng noticed that his eyes were cold, so he followed his gaze. Who else could that wretched look in the photo be but Sanpao? I must have found someone at the station too.

"Don't look at it, go to college, I will keep an eye on you." He said.

Lin Qianxi said: "You can also help me keep an eye on the others."

"Dongzi and your mother?" Lu Feng nodded: "I know."

The two of them didn't say anything, until the wall clock on the wall rang a few times, Lu Feng flicked the cigarette ash and looked at him: "Will someone pick you up there?"

"Yes, we've already contacted you." Lin Qianxi patted his schoolbag: "I took a special move and approved it in advance. I just got the notice today. Isn't it a coincidence?"

"That's earlier than Zongcheng's. He said his one might arrive two days later, and asked Yang Rui to collect it for him and forward it to him." Lu Feng took a puff on his cigarette, mentioned the name, and glanced at him again.

Lin Qianxi curled his lips and said, "He will definitely be able to go to a very good prestigious school."

"of course."

Another moment of silence.

The people next to him left in a group, Lu Feng looked up at the clock on the wall, and then at him: "It's getting late, go to the ticket check, don't turn around in the station, and take care of yourself outside in the future, why don't you just leave this little boy behind?" I forgot the place, don’t come back if you can’t come back, I’m still used to your old stubbornness.”

Lin Qianxi smiled, took his schoolbag and put it on his shoulder, took his travel bag, and stood up: "Let's go, Brother Lu."

"En." Lu Feng waved his hand and looked at him.

Lin Qianxi carried her bag and put one hand in her pocket until she reached the ticket gate, turned her head and looked around again, then reached out to hand over the ticket, checked it in and went in.

The train hadn't come into the station yet, and the platform was empty. He looked up while he was standing waiting. It was already dark and the moon was hanging.

Zongcheng should still be on the plane.

Lin Qianxi took out his phone and clicked on WeChat.

--Don't be too reluctant, dear boy, don't contact me with a forced face and smile, anyway, I will let you see me.

Just such a sentence, in the dialogue interface, sent two hours ago, probably before boarding the plane, I don't know how long he thought about it, and there was such a long interval, and finally sent this sentence.

Lin Qianxiren was fine until now, but when he saw this sentence, his heart still twitched, he raised his hand, turned his face away, and squeezed his eyes: "Fuck..."

Everything has been thought out for him, even his mood has been taken into consideration, for fear that he will be burdened.

Facing the phone, he typed with his finger, deleted it, typed it, deleted it again, and finally sent only one sentence.

--You must be well.

The train finally rumbled into the platform, and the steward next to him was blowing his whistle frantically.

Lin Qianxi held back, put away his phone, lowered his head and pinched his palm, lifted his spirits, and got into the car.

The train is bound for Shanghai.

After driving for a few hours at night, there were too many large and small platforms stopped in the middle, and it was already morning when it stopped completely.

There are all kinds of smells in the carriage, and the people along the way come from all over the world, and the accents are so mixed that people can't tell where they are.

Lin Qianxi was shaken awake, opened his eyes, and looked to the side with a frown.

A middle-aged man was sitting next to him, reminding him with an accent that he didn't know where: "Here we are. Are you going to suffer from heat stroke? You sweat so much after sleeping."

Lin Qianxi touched his forehead, ignored him, picked up his things and stood up, got out of his seat, and went to the bathroom in the station to wash up first.

When he got out of the station, he saw someone waving from afar: "Lin Qianxi! Look here!"

Lin Qianxi looked over, and there was a young man in a white shirt standing in a large crowd, with slender eyes and glasses, waving at him on tiptoe.

"here!"

He walked over.

"I thought it would take a lot of effort to catch you in Shanghai, but I didn't expect you to be so eye-catching, I saw it at a glance." Zuo Heng took the schoolbag in his hand, and looked at him again: "You lose weight? What, so thin?"

Lin Qianxi said, "Well, the effect is pretty good, right?"

"Okay, teach me later, I also want to lose two catties." Zuo Heng led the way on the road, he was really familiar, not like he just met once or twice.

Lin Qianxi followed behind with his travel bag in his hand: "Okay."

Zuo Heng looked back at him: "Didn't you keep saying that you were going to the school in Beijing? How about it, I still think my words make sense, figured it out, and finally applied to our school, right?"

Lin Qianxi chose it after comparing other schools, but he said along the way: "I still decided to be your junior."

"Don't be my younger brother, you will be my younger brother from now on." Zuo Heng said solemnly: "Don't feel wronged, don't think that you are grateful for giving up the school in Beijing, I will tell you the truth, I will come here early for you In Shanghai, I came to answer a call in advance, which shows that we value you enough. What you will gain here in the future will definitely be more than what you think you will lose now."

Lin Qianxi glanced at him: "Do you know my physical education teacher?"

"what?"

"I think you both know how to write lyrics."

"..." Zuo Heng shrugged indifferently, and reached out to stop a car: "Forget it, I'll take you to the school first."

Lin Qianxi only called him yesterday after receiving the news that Zongcheng was leaving. In fact, he was in a hurry. When he got in the car, he said, "If I can't stay at school, I'll find a summer job outside."

"There's nowhere to go?" Zuo Heng sat next to him and looked at him: "There's nowhere to go for such a handsome man? Didn't you say that the school values ​​you? No, it's mainly because the billiard club values ​​you and leaves the champion behind." It's impossible, you just stay at ease and it's over."

Lin Qianxi felt a little hot and uncomfortable, so he leaned against the car and stopped talking, listening to him alone.

Shanghai is really big, and it takes two hours to get to the school by car.

On the way, Zuo Heng gave him an overview of the school, focusing on the situation of the club.

Lin Qianxi's notice was the first one that the club director asked the principal to agree to the admission, and it was sent the fastest. I heard that he came early and the billiard room was opened just to practice for him.

"There will be a competition later on. Anyway, you are a prospective freshman. Practice first. Do you want to play to see your own state?" Zuo Heng sent him all the way to the bottom of the dormitory before handing him his schoolbag. Sweaty, handed him a key: "You go up first, 304 above, live first."

After Lin Qianxi took the key, he really felt valued, and said in a low voice, "Fuck, it's such a good treatment."

"Aren't you beautiful, junior brother?" Zuo Heng smiled and adjusted his glasses: "There is still beauty behind you." He said and looked at his face, "But I think you are not in the right state now, why have you changed since the competition? look like?"

Lin Qianxi went up with his things: "It's too hot."

Zuo Heng watched him go up before he was about to leave, when his phone rang, and he picked it up while walking: "Hey, who are you looking for?"

"It's me, Ji Cai." The voice on the phone said, "Is it convenient to talk?"

"I just received Champion Lin, it's convenient, let's talk."

"Then you wait." Ji Cai's phone rang twice, and it seemed that someone else took the phone.

"Hello, has Lin Qianxi arrived yet?"

Zuo Heng heard the voice was very cold and indifferent, and stood under the shade of a tree for a while: "Yes, how do you know?"

"The most suitable school for him in Shanghai is your school, and he will definitely apply there."

Zuo Heng asked, "Who are you?"

There was a moment of silence on the phone before he said, "Zongcheng. Please, if Lin Qianxi has anything to do, please let me know. I will give you a number when I arrive in Beijing."

"Zongcheng?" Zuo Heng's mind turned quickly: "Wait, did Mr. Ma teach you?"

"Correct."

Zuo Heng came to his senses immediately: "Are you going to Beijing? Oh, that mysterious boyfriend is you."
