Orange storm

Xu Hang was quite accurate. As soon as the rankings of the physics exam were announced, there were obviously more faces outside the classroom between classes. After all, after handing in the paper in half an hour, he got the only perfect score in physics in the school. This title was too popular among a group of students. It's windy.Fang Jie sometimes went to the cafeteria to eat, and he could still hear the people in the school uniforms of the first and second grades discussing in a low voice.

"Who?"

"The one in front, the very tall one."

Fang Jie frowned and looked back at them. They quickly turned their heads and started discussing other things.

Fortunately, most people were only curious for a few days, and soon dispersed. A week later, the list of the provincial physics competition was finalized. There were seven people in total, and three of them were in their class, Fang Jie, Tan Zhuo, and Jiang Xinxin.

In those few days, Tang Yi's face was radiant. When he came to class, he seemed to be floating, and his whole body revealed a beaming atmosphere.

They set off on Saturday and Friday night, taking advantage of the late self-study, they called Fang Jie and the three of them to the office and chattered for almost half an hour.

"Just do your best in the competition and don't put too much pressure on it. If you have anything outside, you should contact the team leader and pay attention to your own safety. Start from school at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, don't be late."

Tang Yi thought hard about what else he hadn't told him: "By the way, let's say hello to your family."

Fang Jie paused, but did not speak.

Although he was leaving tomorrow, he hadn't talked to Jiang Zhijin yet - because he hadn't met Jiang Zhijin much this week.

This week Yunqi seems to have a lot of things to do, Jiang Zhijin hasn't come to pick up Fang Jie from school for several days, and Jiang Zhijin usually hasn't come back when Fang Jie arrives home.As for the morning, Jiang Zhijin was still up when Fang Jie went out.

In this way, the two of them didn't have much time to meet each other.

As get out of class time approached, Fang Jie's cell phone vibrated twice, it was a text message from Jiang Zhijin.

"I have something to do tonight, go back by yourself."

As expected, Fang Jie put the phone back in the bag.

He was a little flustered, wondering if Jiang Zhijin had noticed something, and he was not sure.After all, Jiang Zhijin's wechat tone is quite normal.

He was too lazy to walk, so he took a taxi back home.The room was pitch black, Fang Jie turned on the light, and went back to the bedroom to pack his things.

Clothes, pants, underwear, shoes, toothbrushes and towels...

Fang Jie tidied it up for a long time, and checked it carefully again to make sure there was nothing missing.When everything was settled, he looked at the time, and it was almost twelve o'clock.

Fang Jie still couldn't fall asleep, so he took out an exercise book and prepared to study the questions.Just sitting down in front of the table, Fang Jie didn't know what to think of, stood up again, and opened the bedroom door that was closed just now.

"So, don't treat teenagers who are about to turn [-] as children, and usually take your son one by one."

There are quite few people in Yunqi tonight, and two or three tables are made sporadically, so it is not very busy.Gu Xun wiped the bar spoon in his hand, put the things back in place, and looked at Jiang Zhijin with a smile.

"It's overturned."

"I was wrong. I usually treat him like a child." Jiang Zhijin sighed with a smile. "I didn't think it was wrong before."

Except for that night, Jiang Zhijin vaguely noticed that Fang Jie's words were a bit vague.

It was a kind of emotional ambiguity, which was conveyed through his incoherent words, which made Jiang Zhijin feel a little wrong.

Jiang Zhijin thought for a while, and then said: "I'm wondering if it's because of me, I usually spend too much time with him, picking him up after school and chatting with him, plus he knows about me—— "

Jiang Zhijin didn't go any further.

From the day when Zhou Ling handed Fang Jie into his hands, Jiang Zhijin felt that he was responsible for this kid. He had to let him pass his third year of high school safely, take the college entrance examination well, and let him not get into trouble. .But during the time he spent with Fang Jie later, Jiang Zhijin felt that he really liked this kid.

Serious, smart, although not very talkative but good at taking care of others.Sometimes they are not as mature as a high school student, and sometimes they show a little fragility and sensitivity unique to this age group.

So once something happened, Jiang Zhijin would try his best to solve it. When Fang Jie had something on his mind, Jiang Zhijin also tried his best to communicate with him.

Because rather than being a temporary guardian, Jiang Zhijin hoped that he could spend the third year of high school with Fang Jie as a good friend.

He wondered if it was because he was in charge too much, or sometimes he didn't pay attention to proportion when getting along, which gave Fang Jie other ideas.

"So you come to the bar for a few days and don't dare to go home?"

Gu Xun was a little speechless, looked at Jiang Zhijin, and seriously analyzed with the other party.

"According to what you said, even if he really has other ideas, I think this matter has to be looked at separately."

"First of all, you have to figure out whether Fang Jie is straight or not. If he wasn't straight in the first place, but he has never been in a relationship before, and suddenly finds out that he is crooked and likes you, then this is a high school student's first love. thing."

"If he wasn't curvy in the first place, because he fell in love with you, and then—"

"Understood." Jiang Zhijin nodded, "Then I am the heinous one, the one who cannot escape the blame for death."

"...Hey, how did you get to this height?" Gu Xun couldn't help laughing. "As soon as he turns eighteen, he will be fully responsible for breaking the law. Whether he likes the opposite sex or the same sex is up to you? You don't have the obligation, you don't have the right, understand?"

Jiang Zhijin was amused: "Then what do you mean if he really likes me—"

"Then you will suffer." Gu Xun said with a serious face, "Congratulations——no, sorry."

Jiang Zhijin laughed halfway and then sighed.

Gu Xun smiled and continued, "Besides, I think you're thinking too much. Just a few words, what can you say? Maybe it's just something that happened, normal mood swings."

"I hope." Jiang Zhijin was silent for a while, "Maybe I'm thinking too much."

Just a few words really can't prove anything, just like what Gu Xun said, emotional fluctuations after something happens, sudden sensitivity in the middle of the night, or just gossip when you're bored...all are possible.

"Okay, it's past twelve o'clock, your son is probably asleep, so go back quickly."

"He's not my son." Jiang Zhijin felt a headache when he heard these two words now, and reached for the jacket beside him.

"Now I feel like he's my ancestor."

By the time Jiang Zhijin arrived home, it was already almost a little closer.Only the wall lamp was turned on in the living room, and he saw the light emanating from Fang Jie's bedroom at a glance.

In the next second, Fang Jie also came out from inside.

Jiang Zhijin was stunned for a moment before entering the room, and turned on the light in the living room by the way.

"You haven't slept yet?"

"Do your homework."

Jiang Zhijin nodded, ready to change his shoes, glanced casually, and saw a suitcase next to the shoe cabinet at the door.

He was slightly taken aback, pointed to the suitcase and asked, "What are you doing?"

"As for the contest I told you about last time, it's time to leave for the provincial capital tomorrow. I should have told you earlier, but you recently—"

Fang Jie paused, "Very busy."

……Hold.

Jiang Zhijin felt a little guilty for a moment.

He didn't know how to face Fang Jie these days because of the suspicion in his heart, and he kept forgetting to ask him about the competition.In the end, everyone was about to leave, their luggage had already been packed, and I didn't know anything, so I had to let someone stay up all night to inform me...

It's a bit like remembering the wrong time to pick up someone when you first met.

Whether it's a guardian or a friend, it's kind of rubbish.

Jiang Zhijin didn't know what to say, so he could only ask subconsciously: "When will you leave tomorrow, and how many days will you be there for?"

Fang Jie was quite calm: "Gather at the gate of the school at eight o'clock and take the expressway. Go on the 7th and return on the 13th, a total of 7 days."

Jiang Zhijin's heart skipped a beat, as if he had forgotten something and couldn't remember it for the time being.He withdrew his thoughts and nodded, "I'll take you to school tomorrow."

"Eight in the morning." Fang Jie looked at the other party, "Can you get up?"

"...That's what I said." Jiang Zhijin couldn't help laughing, "I can still get up if I work hard."

Fang Jie also smiled: "Okay."

Normal questions and answers, normal insults, normal jokes...

Everything seemed normal.

The next morning Jiang Zhijin got up quite early, and even cooked noodles for Fang Jie for breakfast.

Bamboo shoots and ham noodles, served with a little shrimp, very light.After breakfast, Jiang Zhijin sent Fang Jie to the school gate. The business car was parked outside the school. Several students had already arrived, and the teacher leading the team was checking the list in front of the car.

The two of them didn't talk much on the road. Jiang Zhijin parked the car and opened the trunk, wanting to help get the suitcase down, but Fang Jie got out of the car quickly: "I'll take it myself, don't get out."

Jiang Zhijin hesitated for a moment, watching Fang Jie take the luggage by himself, close the trunk, and go around to the window of the driver's seat.

"Take everything well, and be careful on the road."

"En." Fang Jie nodded, hesitated for a while, and stood outside the car window without moving.

Jiang Zhijin looked at him for a few seconds and asked, "What's wrong?"

"...I thought you had to say something." Fang Jie said. "For example, if you compete well, if you don't win a prize, don't think about me holding your parents' meeting in this life."

Jiang Zhijin laughed when he heard half of it: "I'm quite vicious in your heart."

"Mainly you usually like to say that."

"Okay." Jiang Zhijin smiled, "Let's talk about it."

"Go early and come back early, post news if something happens, it doesn't matter if you win the prize or not, just have fun." Jiang Zhijin said.

After he finished speaking, he originally wanted to reach out and pat Fang Jie on the shoulder, but he hesitated for a moment, his hand still stayed on the steering wheel, and he nodded at Fang Jie.

"Okay, let's go."

"...Yes." Fang Jie nodded, "I'm leaving."

Fang Jie turned around and walked towards the commercial vehicle. The wheels of the suitcase rolled over the dead branches of the street trees that had not been swept away on the road, making a slight clicking sound, which was very rhythmic, like a heartbeat.

Really worthless, Fang Xiaojie, he thought.

Because in just a few steps, he felt that he had already started to miss Jiang Zhijin a little bit.
