Xingchuan

After that day, Ling Yi began to prepare everything.

With less than three weeks left before graduation, he finished his studies quietly, and spent all his spare time researching livable cities.The price of goods should not be too high, the dialect should not be too difficult to understand, the job should not be too difficult to find, and it should not be too close to Linjiang.

After choosing and choosing, Jiu'an was finally selected.

As an inland city, Jiu'an is not as prosperous as Linjiang, but the four seasons are distinct, and the location is close to the provincial capital, so there are no fewer development opportunities than here.

A countdown timer was set on the phone, and Ling Yi counted the days to live.He even bought a phone card online in advance and booked a short-term rental apartment.The house is not big, but it has air-conditioning and TV. It is enough as a temporary place to stay. When the time comes, I will settle down first and then make other plans.

Everything is ready, only Li Xingchuan's whereabouts are unknown.

Ever since he told Ling Yi that he needed time to think about it, the two met less often, and they hadn't met at all in the past week.

It's not like him.

With his character, even if he finally decided not to leave, he would not choose to escape.

Ling Yi would call him every night at ten o'clock.

The phone was still connected, and he only said that he was busy with his defense and couldn't make time to meet him for the time being.Ling Yi guessed that he was still undecided and didn't want to meet with him for the time being, so he didn't force him.

Time is pressing day by day, Ling Yi is not the only one who is uneasy.Xie Siyun also found out that something was wrong with her best friend.

On the night of the last round of thesis tutoring, the teacher and three students, all staring at the tutor's office, waited for Li Xingchuan for a quarter of an hour.

This was the second time that Li Xingchuan was late in the past week.

When he came out of the office that night, Xie Siyun ignored the other students and dragged him to the corner of the teaching building.

"What have you been up to lately? The thesis supervisor is always late, and you don't want to pass the defense?"

Even he hadn't caught Li Xingchuan's people for several days, how could it not be surprising.

"Did the teacher say anything before I came here?" Li Xingchuan asked.

"That's not true, he has always liked you very much, you know that."

Li Xingchuan hummed, his chin was light blue, and there were two tired shadows under his eyes.

He seems to have experienced a fierce battle.

The night was dark, Xie Siyun stared at the close friend in front of him.

As usual, Li Xingchuan was wearing a black coat, his shoulders were slack, and his spine was leaning against the wall.But when the head was slightly turned sideways, two bloodstains were faintly exposed from the neckline, and there was still a faint smell of external medicine all over her body.

Xie Siyun became suspicious: "What happened to your neck?"

"The cat scratched it."

"Don't worry about me. You don't even go back to school recently. When did you have enough time to feed stray cats?"

Li Xingchuan remained silent.

Not right.

Xie Siyun paused for a moment, then suddenly took a big step forward and tore off his tightly tightened collar——

"This is--"

Under the dim moonlight, several long and deep purple scars were exposed, winding from his plain back texture all the way to his shoulders, extremely deep and raised like a ridge, even though most of the wounds had scabbed over, they were still shocking enough.

"Which grandson did this? Did you fight with someone? Did you call the police?!"

While talking about Xie Siyun, he lowered his head and took out his mobile phone, wanting to report this matter to the head of the dormitory and the youngest.

"Call the police."

Suddenly, an indifferent voice came from above his head.

"My mother beat me."

With a jerk of his hands, Xie Siyun raised his head in a daze, and after realizing it, he twisted his brows into plain lines: "Professor Li...why did she hit you? It's impossible, isn't she the one who loves you the most?"

In the middle of speaking, a bad thought suddenly popped up in my heart, and I asked in a low voice: "Does she know about you and Ling Yi?"

In such a night, in such a quiet environment, anxiety is magnified.He pressed his hands to the seams of his trousers and looked at Li Xingchuan nervously.

Li Xingchuan hummed lightly.

Xie Siyun suddenly didn't know how to speak.

He seemed to be more nervous than the client, with an expression of hopelessness on his face. After being bored for a while, he rubbed his hands heavily on his face: "How did she find out, who told her after seeing it?"

When they wanted to live together, he firmly opposed it, so that they would be found out sooner or later.Unfortunately the objection was invalid.

Li Xingchuan's back seemed unwell, it straightened and then bent, and his voice was understated: "I told her."

"You're crazy!" Xie Siyun almost jumped up.

Not far away, a few lower grade students holding books passed by, and when they heard the voice looking over here, he hurriedly dragged Li Xingchuan to a darker place.

"Are you impatient to live? Professor Li's character, the whole grade in their school is afraid of her."

With this excitement, his graduation thesis, which was densely packed with notes, fell out of his armpit and was caught by one hand.

"I am her son, don't be afraid of her."

"Just keep your mouth shut." He broke out in a cold sweat, "Tell me what's going on, I'll listen to the cause and effect."

The cause and effect are not complicated.

Li Xingchuan was not as excited as he was, and just bent his back: "I had a minor operation two days ago, and I had an in-depth talk with her after the operation."

A look looked at him from the beginning to the end: "What surgery? Why don't you know what's wrong with you?"

"Sterilization."

The four words were especially thunderous, and exploded in Xie Siyun's ears with a bang.

"you……"

His throat was stuck, and he hardly dared to look directly at Li Xingchuan.No wonder he, a college student in his early twenties, who knows what a ligation operation is all about.

"I will not be able to have children in the future." Li Xingchuan said concisely.

"Does Ling Yi know?"

"There's no need to tell him."

This is his choice.

Xie Siyun was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and his expression was a little dazed: "You still love being a hero so much..."

With such determination, it seems that the word "becoming a hero" should not be used to describe it, but for a while, Xie Siyun felt that he was at a loss for words.

"Professor Li is mad."

Thinking of his mother's hysteria at that time, Li Xingchuan fell silent, and only after a while did he whisper: "I just want her to accept Ling Yi."

"You don't call it 'let', it's called 'force'."

When the evening wind blew, Xie Siyun shivered unconsciously, and folded his arms tightly to avoid the wind.

Li Xingchuan was still in place.

"I really don't understand. Why are you in such a hurry? After graduation, you have a lot of time to negotiate with your mother. Besides, you have to enlist in the army in the summer, and you will have to leave for at least two years. If you say no, you still have to go to another place." -"

"not going."

"what?"

"I won't go." Li Xingchuan couldn't see much emotion on his face under the faint moonlight, his expression was blurred by the dim street lights, "I decided not to join the army."

Hearing this, Xie Siyun opened his mouth, as if he didn't know him, "Didn't you say you want to inherit your father's legacy..."

"I'm already an unfilial son, I don't care about one more thing."

There was a fleeting gloomy look on his face, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only the lingering warmth.

Xie Siyun's forehead twitched, and the eye sockets could hardly bear the high intraocular pressure.

"If you don't join the army, what are you doing, looking for a job or taking a postgraduate entrance examination?"

No matter which option is selected, the best time has been missed now.

Li Xingchuan didn't say a word, his back was slightly arched at Ye Guang, and he only stretched out one hand, silently embracing a wind.

The wind passes through the fingers, and the vast world is free.

In such silence, Xie Siyun suddenly had a terrible guess in his heart.Before the language is organized, it has been verified.

He heard Li Xingchuan say: "I plan to take Ling Yi away."

Surrounded by silence for a few seconds.

"where to?"

"He will."

"when are we leaving?"

"At the end of the month."

"So urgent..." Xie Siyun lowered his head and thought for a moment, his Adam's apple twitched uncomfortably, "Then what can I do to help?"

Li Xingchuan said no at first, thought for a while, and then asked, "How much money do you have left?"

He rarely mentioned money, so that when the word came out of his mouth, Xie Siyun reacted for a moment before slowly raising his head, "You want money?"

"Ah."

He answered simply.

After answering, he raised his hand to touch the short hair on the back of his neck, and the ends of the hair were stuck in the palm of his hand like thorns.

"How much do you have, lend it to me first, and then find a way to repay you after I settle down."

"You still talk like that to me..." Xie Siyun's nose was slightly sour, he was taken aback, and took out his phone to check the account balance.

Just this morning, a final payment came in, which was his payment for that role last time.All savings are added, and the basic living expenses are deducted, and there are more than 6.

He was about to transfer out, but Li Xingchuan held down the phone, "My card has been frozen, transfer it to Ling Yi."

freeze……

Xie Siyun was stunned for a few seconds, and then felt that it was true.

How could Li Xingchuan speak to his friends if he hadn't been forced to do so?He is the one who is most afraid of troublesome friends, and he has always been the only one who helps others.

Looking up at his best friend, he thought he would see a little embarrassment, but he saw Li Xingchuan's expression was calm, his brows were slightly heroic, and his knife-backed nose was still stiff, as if he could take on anything.

"Is the money enough? Do you want to tell Lao Yi and Lao Yao, they might still have some money there." Xie Siyun was still worried.

Li Xingchuan thought for a while, and slowly straightened his back after suffering for a long time: "No need. An acquaintance is willing to take over my car, and the price is not low. Including the money you gave me, the total is 15, and I can't find it in a year. You won't starve to death at work, so don't worry about me."

Xie Siyun still seemed to have something stuck in his throat.

This good friend of his has not suffered for so many years, he is upright and upright but doesn't know how to flatter him, and he doesn't know how many things are waiting to be learned after leaving Linjiang.

After standing for a while, the two walked along the playground to the dormitory building.The street lights were dim, casting long, slanted shadows on the ground.

In another ten days, no, they will not see each other in seven days.Maybe a year or a half, maybe three years or five years, in short, Li Xingchuan chose Ling Yi and gave up everything in Linjiang.

Family, friendship.

Xie Siyun didn't ask him how much weight these things held in his heart, nor did he ask whether he decided to fly high on impulse or after careful consideration.

He knew that Li Xingchuan must have already thought about it, and there must have been many nights of tossing and turning, because of some unavoidable difficulties, he had to give up his close relatives, his group of good friends, and chose something that needed more persistence.

Maybe it's a person, maybe it's a promise, he couldn't tell clearly when he was young.

The two walked side by side under the streetlight, Xie Siyun forcibly grabbed Li Xingchuan's shoulders, Li Xingchuan frowned, but in the end he didn't let him move away.

"Hey, let me ask you, does the ligation operation hurt?"

"you try."

"I won't try to fart... What did your mother use to whip you, rolling pin?"

"roll."

Xie Siyun laughed loudly, his eyes were slightly moist.

"Settle down and contact me as soon as possible, do you hear me? I promise not to betray you, and I will never change my phone number."

"You don't change after you become famous?"

"Of course! You treat me as you, and you forget your friends when you see sex... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you still want to beat me up with your current body, dream about it, I'll knock down two of you with one punch!"

……

"Don't tell Ling Yi about my injury."

"I know, it's just his little courage, he was scared to death before he left. Seriously, I have always wanted to ask you, didn't you look down on Ling Yi at the beginning, why did you gradually become so desperate, What medicine did he give you?"

Under the street lamp, Li Xingchuan's mind trembled slightly, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.

"do not know."

"do not know?"

"If you like it, you like it. I'm unlucky."

The shadow of the moon is strong, and the galaxy is tired.

The two walked slowly into the night.

Five days later at noon, Xie Siyun bumped into Ling Yi at the school gate.Ling Yi asked him to hand over to Li Xingchuan an envelope, which contained two air tickets.

There is another sentence: "At three o'clock in the afternoon, see you soon."

In fact, Li Xingchuan would go if he didn't say anything.Ling Yi's shelf life is forever, so of course Li Xingchuan is not willing to abandon him.
