crossing the northern latitude

Two days before the college entrance examination, they had another big fight.

The cause was a phone call while studying at Lu Yan's home.

It's Shailene calling.Her condition has improved a lot recently, and she basically doesn't need Lu Yan to worry about it, she even knows to care about her son's future when she calls.

She asked on the phone: "Your uncle asked me to ask if you want to come to New Zealand to study, and if there is any school you want to go to."

"I..." Lu Yan raised his head and glanced at Meng Tunan, "Let's take a look after the college entrance examination... I haven't thought about going abroad yet, and grandma needs someone to take care of her here."

Meng Tunan over there has already raised his ears and looked towards him.

"We mainly look at your opinion..." Xie Lin said slowly, "We don't need to worry about your studies. I think it's good to do whatever you want in the exam. It doesn't matter if you are a pilot. You can be at home or abroad, but grandpa and grandma I still miss you so much, think about it...but I still want to see you happy!"

After hanging up the phone, Meng Tunan immediately said, "Didn't you agree to go to a place to go to school?"

Lu Yan was too lazy to argue with him: "Read your book."

"Your mother asked you to go abroad?"

"Undecided." Lu Yan didn't want to talk about it, "Shall we read books today?"

"Then always tell me what you think!" Meng Tunan was full of worry, "Our school has a school in Sichuan, Beijing, Hangzhou, and Nanjing... I checked, and if you want to study in the flying academy, which one is in Beijing and Sichuan?" Yes, wait... you don't really want to go abroad, do you?"

Now that Xie Lin’s family has gone abroad except Lu Yan’s uncle Xie Yu, Meng Tunan panics every time he thinks about it.

"Grandma is still here, and I can't go far." Lu Yan reluctantly told him, "Let's talk after the exam, don't think too much about it."

Tired of being together for a long time, Meng Tunan has an unexplainable possessive desire for Lu Yan, and Lu Yan keeps colding him from time to time, and the mood of not getting what he wants makes a heart swaying about gain and loss... ... Lu Yan always avoids this question every time he mentions it, which makes Mengtunan very uneasy.

It's even more uncomfortable when you think about it deeply, because Lu Yan's grades are much better than his own, and he can go wherever he wants to study, and whether he goes abroad is a matter of one sentence... so what else can he do to keep him?At the age of going their separate ways, is it possible that they still have to drag each other down.

I know some truths in my heart, but whether I can accept it is another matter.Meng Tunan's very selfish idea is that he doesn't want Lu Yan to go anywhere, and it's better to stay with him every day and every year...Family is really important, but parents can't be by your side forever.

Others can't, but I can.

Lu Yan saw Meng Tunan holding the pen and turning around without speaking for a long time, and stretched out his hand to pinch his face: "Why are you in a daze?"

Meng Tunan sighed: "I don't understand why you promised me, but you didn't let me know every decision you made after that."

"...Why didn't I let you know?"

"I don't understand you very much." Mengtunan began to vent his emotions. "Actually, even if you really go abroad, I have nothing to say. Is it possible that I can tie you up and not let you go? But I hope you will give me a good word early, so as not to I had unrealistic expectations for the future..."

They had had a lot of troubles over this matter before.Lu Yan didn't want to quarrel over this matter at this time, so he explained in a good-tempered manner: "I said it before, it's not easy to draw conclusions on things I'm not sure about, and I haven't thought it through."

Fuck you, Meng Tunan thought to himself.

But in the end, he realized that Lu Yan didn't want to fight verbally, he suppressed the flames of war, and forced himself to look at the English composition template in front of him.

But what is this template, "Li Hua, we regret that you will go abroad soon, so this Saturday, the students want to hold a farewell party for you..."

After reading it, he felt that he was gradually becoming manic, and Meng Tunan closed the book upset.

Glancing to the side, Lu Yan was texting with his mobile phone.He casually asked, "Who?"

"Li Xiaoyuan." Lu Yan didn't raise his head, "Come on for the college entrance exam I sent."

This long-lost name shocked Meng Tunan: "...how do you still have contact with her?"

"I just got in touch some time ago. She asked Mr. Jiang for my mobile phone number. She will send some blessings during the festival. I'm very polite..." Lu Yan raised his head after sending the message, "I also asked you how you are. .”

Meng Tunan fell silent.

Li Xiaoyuan said that she liked him, but Meng Tunan didn't believe it in his heart, but he felt that Li Xiaoyuan was playing with Lu Yan... Not to mention anything else, the first time they had a conflict was because of her, Lu Yan still Because she got into so many fights... Just thinking of this extraordinary girl, Meng Tunan, makes alarm bells ring in my heart.

"Why didn't I see Bambi caring about me so much?" Meng Tunan thought, "How long have they been in private contact?"

Lu Yan also knew what kind of temper Meng Tunan had, so he took the initiative to put the phone in front of him: "Look, she asked me how you are doing...others are some holiday blessings and the like."

Meng Tunan picked up Lu Yan's phone with a cold face. He didn't hesitate at all, and after finding the contact page, he blocked and deleted it at the speed of light.

This was not enough, Meng Tunan continued to click on the social software in his mobile phone...

Lu Yan was stunned: "...What are you doing?"

"No reason." After finishing, Meng Tunan returned the phone to him, "I don't want you to talk to her."

Lu Yan looked at his phone and then at Meng Tunan, and after a while he managed to say, "Are you sick?"

"Well, I'm sick. If there's nothing wrong with me, I can't afford to like you." Meng Tunan nodded, "Listen clearly, I don't think she's a good person, and I don't want you to talk to her."

Jealousy made him start to attack indiscriminately, full of hostility.

"...Do you think you are very ignorant?"

Lu Yan didn't understand how Meng Tunan became like this.

"Of course I'm ignorant. Is it because I'm sensible and obedient that you're nice to me?" Meng Tunan stabbed back, "You're still pissing me off? Why, you want to beat me up because of her?"

Unreasonable.Lu Yan couldn't understand this kind of unreasonable behavior. He clenched his fist and endured it for a long time before shouting: "You go home, I don't want to quarrel."

"You're going to get angry now." Meng Tunan sneered, "Think about it for yourself, how many times have you been in a hurry with me because of her..."

Lu Yan glared at him: "I'll say it again, go back, I can quarrel with you for three days and three nights after the exam, don't see each other until the exam is over... Now get out quickly."

Meng Tunan also knew that he couldn't continue talking, so he glanced back at him, got up and rolled quickly.

It will be cleaner when people leave.

Lu Yan thought it was good, they had better not see each other before the exam, and they would pinch each other when they saw each other.I don't know what happened to them. Since Meng Tunan came back from the art exam, they have been arguing almost every day. They quarreled for a long time. When they quarreled, they really wanted to strangle each other to death. Repeatedly made people have some signs of mental weakness.

Then the next day Lu Yan's house started to have accidents one after another.

First of all, the family dog ​​Ding Ding disappeared.

Mrs. Peng took it for a walk in the activity center in the morning, and took a nap after eating... When she woke up, she was going to feed it, but she couldn't find it afterwards.

Lu Yan and Aunt Mei went out to look for it all afternoon, but they didn't see the dog. On the way back, Aunt Mei took him on an electric bike and accidentally... overturned the car.

What an honor, it was the first time in Lu Yan's life that he experienced the feeling of a car rollover.Fortunately, both he and Aunt Mei were fine, except that his leg was scratched... Because this incident made Aunt Mei feel afraid and guilty, and worried that it would affect the college entrance examination, she asked Lu Yan to stay at home and not go anywhere.

He is also obedient, staring at grandma sullenly at home.

Ever since Tintin got lost, Mrs. Peng has been a little out of her mind.

At this time, Lu Yan didn't really read the book very much, so he simply chatted with her for a while.

He reassured: "After the exam, look for it carefully... You can't lose it, it's so smart, maybe it will return by itself tomorrow."

"Maybe it's not lost, it's gone." Mrs. Peng frowned, "I haven't lost it for more than ten years...it must have gone away by myself. It's good to go...it's best to go somewhere else, there's no need An old woman like me is wasting."

Lu Yan shook his head: "Impossible...Grandma, if you believe in me, you will definitely get it back."

Mrs. Peng let go for a while, and then suddenly changed the subject: "You are better at studying than your father... Can you take the No.1 exam this time?"

"It should be possible." Lu Yan was not modest, "No accident, it will be No.1."

"Are you nervous about the exam?"

"not nervous."

"That's good." Mrs. Peng sighed, "I'm getting older, I'm going to hurry up." She leaned over to touch the jade on Lu Yan's neck, and muttered, "Peace, peace, peace."

In fact, Lu Yan felt that Mrs. Peng was a little weird today, but in the end he just attributed it to the fact that Tintin was lost and grandma was unhappy.

"If you can pass the exam, let's fly a plane..." Mrs. Peng said, "But Yanyan, let's not go to the army, shall we? Go to what you said, civil aviation..."

Lu Yan was a little helpless: "Isn't it good to defend the country like Dad?"

"I'm an old woman who doesn't understand those things... I only know that people are gone when they are gone." She said in a lonely tone, "I regret letting your father go to the police academy... For me, honor is nothing Yes, what kind of heroes are you talking about when your life is gone?"

Lu Yan didn't know how to answer this.

"You're like your father." Mrs. Peng spoke slowly, "He was also twisted and stubborn when he was a child... I had the biggest idea, and I went there regardless. Who was the one who was sad in the end?"

Lu Yan lowered his head to listen to her.

"Tell me about you..." Mrs. Peng finally said, "How can you be so like your father? Don't be as stubborn as him, it's good to be obedient once in a while."

He felt a little uncomfortable.

In fact, the wound is rarely torn open.At that time, he still couldn't learn to accept a person leaving him forever, all he could do was not to think about it, try to block the bleeding hole, and paralyze himself and say that it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt...

It's just that when I feel uncomfortable, memories will pop up from time to time and hit people with a stick, which makes people hurt.Lu Yan felt that it was his father reminding himself: Don't give up, keep moving forward.

He stood up.

"I have an exam tomorrow... I went to bed early today."

Mrs. Peng nodded: "Go."

During the exam the next day, Lu Yan felt that he was in good shape.

Deputy Sun sent the exams outside the school, and before they went in, he kept telling them: "Calm down, be careful, don't panic when you get the test papers, first look at the questions, and when you fill in the answer sheets..."

Because he enrolled in the junior class, Lu Yan had already taken the college entrance examination once before.When he sat in the examination room again, his mood was not as chaotic as last time. He answered the questions calmly and at his own pace... Maybe it was because he had done too many papers before, and he was actually a little numb during the exam this day. He always felt that the questions were too simple. normal.

Back home at night, Lu Yan was in a good mood.He felt that he was performing normally, at least he completed it according to his plan, as long as he survived like this tomorrow, everything will be fine.

But that night he didn't sleep well at all.I don't know if it's because I was nervous or what, I couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and finally fell asleep in a daze, but I actually had a nightmare...

He dreamed that he and his grandma were offering incense and lighting lamps in the temple on the first day of the new year. The seven-star lamp... the candlelight fell and flew all over the person, burning the whole dream red.

Waking up from nightmares too.Lu Yan struggled to wake up, got up, washed, dressed and had breakfast, pretending nothing had happened, and went on to the next exam.

Comprehensive essay in the morning.For him, this is the most difficult subject, and he needs to be very focused when doing it.

It was fine at first, but I don't know if it was because I didn't sleep well or something. I started to feel a little dizzy after I couldn't finish the multiple-choice questions.

There was no time to think about it, so I gritted my teeth and continued to do it.He tried his best to concentrate, and just turned over the paper, Da - Lu Yan saw a drop of blood on his paper.

And then more and more.

Much like his last exam, saw a lot of blood on the paper, a lot of...

I can barely hold the pen.Lu Yan was still blindfolded. At this time, an invigilator walked towards him quickly, handed him a piece of paper in a hurry, and motioned Lu Yan to wipe his nose.

He mechanically took the paper to wipe his nosebleed, then looked down at his messy paper, and was stunned for a moment... The invigilator comforted him in a low voice: "The answer sheet is still clean, it doesn't matter, keep doing it, don't be affected .”

Finished the following questions in a trance, top-heavy.

Fortunately, the problem is finished, so it can be regarded as normal performance.

After such an episode, I always felt a little scared... Lu Yan was very puzzled, why did something go wrong every time I took the exam?Why is my luck so bad?

When he went home to eat, Lu Yan was still thinking about the reason for his nosebleed... When he entered the room, the food was on the table, but grandma was not there.

He called Mrs. Peng a few times but no one answered. Lu Yan felt very strange, so he called again without giving up... In the end, it was Gao Hui who answered.

"Well... Yanyan, what's the matter? Remember to take a break after eating, or you won't be in good spirits for the exam in the afternoon."

Lu Yan responded: "Auntie, is my grandma with you?"

"Well... your grandma is talking to someone else, we are together, near that market." Gao Hui spoke somewhat hesitantly, "Yanyan, can you let Uncle Meng pick you up to school this afternoon?"

"Auntie, no need, I'll go by myself." Lu Yan agreed with Meng Tunan not to see each other before the exam, so he didn't want to see him affect the mood of the exam, "Can I ask my grandma to answer the phone?"

"Well... your grandma is talking to that grandma Wen..."

Halfway through her speech, Lu Yan heard an unfamiliar voice on the phone saying: "Where is the family member of bed No. 7? Bed No. 7!"

Lu Yan almost lost his grip on the phone.

He asked anxiously: "My grandma is in the hospital?"

Gao Hui's tone was still calm: "No... Yanyan, take the exam well, let's talk about it after the exam, okay? You trust Auntie, it's fine. I'll hang up first, you take a good rest..."

Nothing?It's okay, so why did you lie to yourself in the first place?

The more Lu Yan thought about it, the more something went wrong.He sat blankly at the dining table for a long time, then called again...no one answered.

After being at a loss and anxious for a long time, he still decided to look for him. Just as he was about to go out, Meng Tunan rushed into his house.

"Where are you going?"

"Don't worry about it."

Lu Yan planned to ignore him and go on his own, but Meng Tunan pulled him back and hugged him: "Good Bambi, good Bambi... Let's take a break and talk about it after the exam? I'll sleep with you, don't go out and run around ..."

The last time we met you were still arguing like that, and now you're coaxing people nicely?There is definitely a problem.

If there was a sliver of luck in my heart before... then Lu Yan has already confirmed that something happened to grandma in all likelihood.

He suddenly remembered the extinguished seven-star lamp in the temple.

After that, the memory is very vague, I just feel that the afternoon passed extremely long.

He entered the examination room under the watchful eye of Meng Tunan.

Knowing that no matter how sad he is, he can't miss the business, Lu Yan tried his best to cheer up and face the exam...

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't affected, he couldn't concentrate, his temples were beating all the time... his heart was restless.

He forced himself to calm down, read the topic patiently, his hand holding the pen was tight, and felt that it was a miracle that he could persist in doing it.

After finishing the paper a little earlier, Lu Yan began to check the answer sheet.

After he finished, he couldn't help but start to think wildly. He thought about what Mrs. Peng had said to him the day before, and how Mrs. Peng sat alone in the empty house, watching TV with an old dog at her feet. ... the head is full of that lonely shadow.

My eyes are sour just thinking about it.

Finally, when the bell rang, the teacher asked them to stop writing.

The end of the college entrance examination
