Orange storm

In the end, Fang Jie bought four fireworks sticks under the watchful eyes of a group of children. Both of them felt a little embarrassed, and consciously stayed away from the group of eight or nine-year-old children running around dancing with fireworks sticks, and found a quiet place to light them.

The fireworks are pale silver and burn beautifully.Fang Jie and Jiang Zhijin lit two of them and watched it burn in the night.Jiang Zhijin smiled and said, "The last time I set off these fireworks was when I was a child. My grandma bought me two during Chinese New Year, saying that they can make wishes."

Fang Jie felt a little distressed immediately, but Jiang Zhijin smiled and waved the fireworks in his hand.

"On the first day of the new year, make a wish, Fang Jie."

Fang Jie looked at the fireworks in his hand, thought for a while, and finally said truthfully: "It seems that there is nothing to promise."

"The college entrance examination went well, and I got into an ideal university..." Jiang Zhijin paused, not talking about his family, "I thought you had a lot of wishes."

"It's useless to promise this." Fang Jie said, "I already know what universities I can go to."

"...Really awesome, if I were your classmate, I would have beaten you by now." Jiang Zhijin looked at him with a smile.

The fireworks in his hand were about to burn out, Fang Jie thought for a while, and finally said: "Then... I hope I can spend New Year's Eve with you next year."

Jiang Zhijin heard the words and said, "You should be in college by this time next year, and you don't know where you are yet."

"No matter where I am, I won't miss the New Year's Eve with you," Fang Jie said.

Jiang Zhijin looked at Fang Jie for a while, and finally sighed: "...this love brain, I am so scared that I dare not speak."

"Our first love is like this." Fang Jie said.

Jiang Zhijin laughed for a long time, Fang Jie urged Jiang Zhijin by looking at the fireworks sticks that were about to burn out.

"What about your wish?"

"I don't have any wishes, and I don't take the college entrance examination." Jiang Zhijin stared at the fireworks burning to the end for a while, and finally spoke.

"Then I hope your wish comes true."

The fireworks went out.

I don't know who is setting off fireworks in the community, one after another in the air, Jiang Zhijin glanced at Fang Jie.

"Go back, student Fang Jie, it's time for you to review."

"...Oh." Fang Jie sighed.

"Why are you sighing?" Jiang Zhijin laughed. "Are you the attitude of a master of learning?"

"No." Fang Jie was also a little embarrassed.Walking back against the cold wind, there was no one on the road, and the two of them walked very slowly.

"I just suddenly wanted to finish the exam earlier."

Fang Jie himself felt that his senior year in senior high school was not as painful as in the legends. It was also a fixed-point review and a fixed-point rest.But being reminded by Jiang Zhijin to read books every day, Fang Jie felt a little annoyed by the feeling that he was not like the other party's partner, but more like the other party's son.

After passing the college entrance examination and leaving the state of going to school and finishing homework on time, I am a little closer to the freedom of an adult. No one will tell him that you just study hard and don’t worry about other things...

You have the right to talk on an equal footing, whether it's with Jiang Zhijin, Fang Chenglin, or... Mom.

"Take your time, it's useless to rush."

Jiang Zhijin took out something unknown from his bag, tore it open and handed it to Fang Jie's mouth. Fang Jie subconsciously opened his mouth and ate it.

It is a lemon candy, the kind Fang Jie often eats, sour and refreshing.

Give a candy a word of comfort.Fang Jie bit the candy, feeling the sour taste on his tongue: "Where are you coaxing the children?"

"A coaxing partner." Jiang Zhijin replied.

Fang Jie laughed, and suddenly felt a little relieved.

Who cares, whether it's for himself or Jiang Zhijin... Anyway, just work hard.

On the first day of the new year, Tan Zhiqiang was not at home for the New Year's Eve, and the construction site was on holiday. He needed a worker who kept the materials on duty, one hundred a day.

"I won't be back at night, you and grandma go to bed early."

Tan Zhiqiang put on a military overcoat he bought at an unknown time, took out a wad of money from his bag, and took out a 100 note from a pile of scattered notes and handed it to Tan Zhuo.

"If you're hungry, go buy something if you want to eat."

Tan Zhuo was doing his homework at the dinner table without looking up, and he didn't bother to say anything.Tan Zhiqiang put the money aside in embarrassment and laughed twice.

"Okay, study hard."

Tan Zhuo raised his head when the door of the room was closed.

The mobile phone next to it kept vibrating, and it was the red envelopes being exchanged in the class group.Some gave Xu Hang one or two hundred like this, and some gave five or ten yuan.A group of people were jokingly grabbing, no matter how much they grabbed, they had to send an emoji package thanking the boss, and then say "Happy New Year!" Even Tang Yi came out and sent two, so that they could study hard in the new year.

Tan Zhuo looked at the constantly beating chat records, but didn't open a single red envelope.

Isn't it just to show off your wealth?Studying so badly, thinking that I am great if I have money, disgusting!There are also those who give out a few yuan in red envelopes. Don't you feel ashamed when someone else just gave out a hundred or two hundred?Oh, there is also a group of people who are so excited after grabbing a few dollars, don't feel ashamed...

Tan Zhuo turned off the phone directly.

The room was very quiet, grandma should have fallen asleep.He looked at the exercise book on the table, it was densely packed with words, but he couldn't read any of them.

The ranking has been falling, the second, fourth, tenth in the grade... Every time the head teacher and the teacher of the department have to talk to me, do you blame yourself? !

Strange why Fang Jie came to Shaojiang!If he doesn't come, the ranking will not change, and there will be no problems with his own results!It will not be affected, resulting in no ranking in the physics competition!This kind of person can only pretend to be aggressive, fights with people in the alley as soon as he arrives, wins first place and competition prizes by luck, ruins other people's lives, and doesn't feel ashamed at all...

It's all rubbish.

The light from the bulb above his head shone on Tan Zhuo, casting a black shadow.

The dead branches of the trees at the entrance of the alley were rattled by the north wind, and a faint meow came from outside the door.

It’s winter, and the weather is very cold. There will always be many stray cats and dogs coming to residential areas, thinking of grabbing a meal, or finding a sheltered place to sleep.

Tan Zhuo sat in silence for a while, and when the cat meowed for the second time, he stood up and walked out the door.

Crossing the new year means that when it comes to the college entrance examination, it is no longer "next June" but "five months later." The whole third year of high school is in a state of frantic review. Sometimes Fang Jie comes a little earlier, and some Classmates are endorsing books under the school street lights.

English or Chinese, every sentence is whispered and focused, but occasionally because it is too cold, I will jump on the spot twice to warm myself up.

Everyone is working hard for their own life.

"Did you write the last question of the math homework last night? I didn't write it." As soon as Fang Jie took his seat, Xu Hang hurriedly opened his mouth.

Chen Yao passing by stared at Xu Hang as if she didn't know him: "Shocked, you actually did your homework!"

"You guys learn like you're desperate every day, can't I be nervous?" Xu Hang had a bitter look on his face. "The salted fish has to be turned over to dry."

The group of people next to him were overjoyed, and Fang Jie also smiled, and handed out his homework to Xu Hang.

"Look first, and I'll tell you if you don't understand."

"Thank you at the same table." Xu Hang quickly took it. "I also went to the math teacher specifically to ask if I could still save it. He told me to start with the basics and learn more from you and Tan Zhuo. Can I learn from Tan Zhuo—"

Xu Hang lowered his voice while subconsciously looking at Tan Zhuo's position.

"Huh?" He froze for a moment. "Why didn't Tan Zhuo come?"

Tan Zhuo didn't show up at school all day.

At first, some people thought that he was sick or something happened at home. After all, the other party was so crazy about learning that he would definitely come to school as long as there was no accident.Until the afternoon, someone began to secretly pass a video seen on Weibo in the class.

"Is this Tan Zhuo..."

"...No way...My God..."

"It's him at first glance, and this shot is too clear."

"It's disgusting! Don't show it to me!"

As soon as Fang Jie took the water and went back to the classroom, he saw a group of people gathered around Xu Hang's position and didn't know what they were looking at.He could only hear Xu Hang's angry voice outside.

"I just said he's crazy! Damn it!"

"What?" Fang Jie asked subconsciously.

"Tan Zhuo!" Xu Hang poked his head out immediately, and put the phone in front of Fang Jie.

"See if he's sick!"

Fang Jie lowered his head to look at his phone. On it was a 20-second video with the title "Human scum abusing a cat on New Year's Eve." It had been retweeted more than ten thousand times.
