Summer in Hagawa

After finishing a few papers, Ye Chuan strolled downstairs, took out the dumplings made by the nanny before the holiday from the freezer, and started preparing his own New Year's Eve dinner.

Just after eight o'clock, someone was already setting off firecrackers outside.Ye Chuan remembered that the nanny bought firecrackers and put them in the storage room before the nanny left, and decided to take them out after dinner, so as not to have to set off firecrackers at twelve o'clock but couldn't find them everywhere.When his grandma was alive, she always said that the reason why firecrackers are set off at twelve o'clock is to get rid of bad luck.At that time, he couldn't figure out what bad luck meant, but now that he thought about it, it was really not ordinary bad luck.

Looking out from the kitchen window, under the slope not far away, the neighbor closest to them has hung red lanterns on the terrace on the top floor.There are two bright red lanterns, and there are strings of small lanterns dotted beside them, flashing and twinkling, and you can feel the joy just by looking at them.

Ye Chuan felt a little envious.He guessed that the family must be very lively now. The family members gathered around the dining table, talking and laughing while watching the Spring Festival Gala, and the children ran around the room with candies...

When the pot boiled, Ye Chuan poured the hard frozen dumplings into the pot, and gently scattered them with a colander.The steaming water vapor is mixed with the smell of food, adding a touch of warmth to the cold room.

Eating alone can be simple or troublesome.After all, today is New Year's Eve, Ye Chuan didn't intend to wrong his stomach.There are semi-finished products processed by the nanny in the refrigerator. Ye Chuan picks out two and stir-fries a hot dish for himself. He also takes some sauced pig’s trotters and beef and puts together a plate of cold dishes. The pot is gone.Ye Chuan brought out several plates and placed them on the dining table.The table is too big, and the few dishes and bowls are not even enough to fill a corner of the table.

Ye Chuan picked up a dumpling and said to himself, "Chuan'er, Happy Chinese New Year."

When it was almost twelve midnight, the sound of firecrackers outside became denser.Ye Chuan took two firecrackers, ran to the yard and hung them up, lit them with cigarette butts, and stood aside to watch the fun.The crackling sound gave him an illusion, as if something old had broken apart, and something new was slowly taking shape in nothingness.

Ye Chuan wrapped his coat tightly, feeling something exciting in the cold air at midnight.He saw someone setting off fireworks in front of the villa not far away. Small golden stars sprayed up half the sky high, and several children held thin and long fireworks sticks in their hands, drawing bright arcs in mid-air while pointing them out. shouted loudly.

Ye Chuan couldn't help laughing.He likes children, he likes to see them running around, yelling loudly, even crying with snot and tears all over his face, he doesn't find it annoying.After living together with Li Xingxing, he once thought about adopting a child, but before he could implement it, the relationship between the two became delicate, and he no longer cared about pornographic matters.Ye Chuan always felt a little regretful about this matter.However, after he has a relatively stable life, this matter should be able to be done.

Ye Chuan suddenly felt that spending New Year's Eve quietly, without bars, tequila and Marlboro, was not so unbearable.Every New Year's Eve in the past, watching Li go home with big bags and small bags for the New Year, he felt an indescribable loss in his heart.At that time, every minute and every second became unbearable, and he could only run to the familiar bar, looking for a little cheap warmth among the guests who were also homeless.

At that time, he just wanted to find someone to accompany him, but he didn't know that he could also be his companion.Maybe at that time, he wanted so much to get the love of others, and wanted to use the love of others to prove the meaning of his existence, so that he was full of others and forgot to love himself.

Maybe after crossing the boundary between life and death, he really grew up.Things that he had tried so hard to avoid, like being alone, seemed less difficult now.Ye Chuan even felt that he liked this feeling of sobriety better. Standing here, with the rare clear night sky above his head in winter, the choking smell of firecrackers in the air has not completely dissipated. It is a bit pungent, but it makes people feel warm.

Ye Chuan stood outside for a long time, until the dense sound of firecrackers like popping beans gradually faded away, he wrapped his jacket tightly and ran back into the house.His mobile phone was still thrown on the dining table, and there were several missed calls, all with the same number.Ye Chuan glanced at it, and deleted it indifferently.

Ever since he and Ye Shifei came to Ye's house once during the summer vacation, Li Xingxing stopped treating himself as an outsider.Every time Ye Shifei called his family, he would happily come over and say a few words.Qiao Min liked him very much, and sometimes she would chat with him a little more.But when Ye Chuan heard about his reputation, he would usually die immediately.Occasionally he would call him alone, at first Ye Chuan was polite and perfunctory, but later he simply refused to answer.Anyway, his mobile phone is always left at home, no matter how many calls he makes, he cannot be harassed.

Ye Chuan was no longer willing to think about his intentions in doing so.He only knew that Li Xingzheng was still with Ye Shifei, getting along day and night, inseparable.In other words, between these two people, what should happen will still happen.

He had already suffered enough, and he was not interested in spending another eight years of his life in troubled waters.

After deleting the missed call record, Ye Chuan turned off the phone without hesitation.

The shortest winter vacation in Ye Chuan's life soon passed away. The weather gradually warmed up. The cotton clothes on his body turned into windbreakers, and then into short-sleeved T-shirts. A huge countdown calendar board was erected at the school gate.

Like every candidate around him, Ye Chuan was overwhelmed by the mock exams again and again.Sleep time is less than five hours a day.Ye Chuan didn't want to waste too much time on the road, so he proposed to live in school with his family, but Ye Ningde rejected it.He felt that high school seniors had already worked very hard, and if they lived in the school and ate in the cafeteria, how could their health bear it.He arranged for Assistant Chen to pick him up and drop him off from school every day, and told the nanny to supplement Ye Chuan's nutrition in different ways every day.Under the influence of Ye Ningde, Qiao Min also became nervous.When I was playing cards with my girlfriends, I heard that the examinee needed to supplement the brain, so I asked an acquaintance in the hospital to prescribe a bunch of nutritional supplements for calming the nerves and nourishing the brain, and watched him eat every day.Even so, on the eve of the college entrance examination, Ye Chuan's weight had dropped to 130 kilograms. He was able to hold a thin waist against a tall man who was nearly 1.8 meters tall.

After leaving the examination room, Ye Chuan had a phone call with Shao Kai, and then went home and fell asleep.For a few days in a row, except for going downstairs to eat, I almost stayed on the bed to catch up on sleep, and even stopped my morning jogging.Ye Ningde and Qiao Min were not sure what his reaction was, and were afraid that something would irritate him, so they spoke cautiously when talking to him.It wasn't until Ye Chuan regained his energy and began to go out to swim and play with Shao Kai every day, that Ye Ningde and his wife breathed a sigh of relief.

When applying to volunteer, Shao Kai really applied to the Public Security University in City B.This is recognized as the best public security university in China, Ye Chuan is not surprised that he would choose this way.He himself hesitated a little on the question of going to the Northwest or the South, and finally chose the Northwest.He remembered that one year Li Xingxing said that he would take him to see the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. He collected a lot of information about that city with great interest, but Li Xingxing was always dragged down by business affairs, and the travel plan fell through in the end.This time, Ye Chuan decided not to wait for others to give, he should go and see the ancient city known as the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties by himself.

Shao Kai felt a little regretful about his decision, he very much hoped that Ye Chuan could also go to City B. B University and Public Security University are not far away, if Ye Chuan is admitted to B University Law School, the two will be able to see each other often.Ye Chuan's explanation is that he estimated the score and felt that he was not sure about taking the test B.

He also explained this to Ye Ningde and Qiao Min.Qiao Min didn't say anything, but felt that Xi'an was a bit far away, unaccompanied, and it was inconvenient to go home during the holidays.Ye Ningde asked in great detail, the situation of the school, the previous year's admission scores, etc. In the end, he just expressed a deep expression on his face that he roughly understood, and did not express his position clearly on Ye Chuan's decision. Ye Chuan saw With such a reaction, he felt a little guilty for no reason.However, he was already busy packing his luggage, so he didn't have time to ponder Ye Ningde's thoughts.He planned to leave for Xi'an after the notice was delivered, to get acquainted with the city earlier, and Xi'an has so many historic sites from the previous dynasty, he might not be able to enjoy it if time is short.

He planned it well, but when the notice was delivered, Ye Chuan was dumbfounded as soon as he opened it.

B University Law School.

How could it be B University Law School? !
