four o'clock

Gardenias were planted at the gate of the building, and they were beaten in the heavy rain, but they could still smell the fragrance. When he and Wen Yushao were traveling in the south of the Yangtze River, gardenias were planted at the gate of the courtyard where they lived.

One night, the moonlight in the south of the Yangtze River was beautiful, and Wen Yuji hung up his camera, waiting for him to go out with great anticipation.

There is a poem that says: Three parts of the world are bright moon nights, and two parts are rogues.

It is about the beauty of the moonlit night in Yangzhou.

And Yangzhou Slender West Lake 24 Bridge is the best place to watch the moonlit night in Yangzhou.

The 24th bridge is usually not open at night. They were lucky that day, and they caught up with the event when they first came to Yangzhou.

The poem says: The 24th bridge is still there, the heart is swaying, and the water and the moon are silent.

Wen Yuji wanted to see the silent water moon, so he couldn't wait to go out of the courtyard first. When he went out, he saw Wen Yuji and a child squatting on the edge of the gardenia bushes. Hold your knees like two little friends.

The child looked to be five or six years old, with two small knots tied on his head, but he was wearing men's clothes, and Li Song didn't know whether he was a boy or a girl for a moment.

The little doll cried very sadly, with snot and tears, and said: "Then they said that I look like a boy, and if I wear boy's clothes, I am a boy. I just like to wear boy's clothes."

Wen Yu sent the same hatred: "It's too much."

The little baby nodded vigorously, but quickly faltered, and said: "But the teacher doesn't like me either. The teacher likes other children. She made me wear skirts and said that girls should look like girls, but... woo woo woo , everyone doesn't like me, I'm so tired every day."

Tong Sheng Tong Yu said the most difficult and saddest thing in her life, Li Song was amused to hear it.

Wen Yuji was very serious, he shook his head and said, "There must be someone who likes you."

The little baby had a soft Jiangnan accent, and she said obediently and softly with her fingers: "My eldest brother likes me, my second brother likes me, and my parents like me too."

She cried and said: "Brother, should I wear a small skirt, maybe my teacher and classmates will like me if I wear it."

Wen Yu sent a gardenia petal and put it in her hand, saying: "Others don't like you because they are not gentle and kind enough, but you have to be gentle and kind, don't make yourself uncomfortable because of other people's eyes, as long as you stay kind and kind." Be gentle, and the whole world will love you."

The little girl wiped away her tears, looked at him with black and white eyes, and asked, "Really?"

Wen Yu sent, "Of course it's true, it's a puppy who lied to you."

Li Song burst out laughing. When he came to receive Wen Yuji, the little girl's mother also came. The gentle lady picked up the little girl and greeted Wen Yuji with a smile. She obviously listened for a long time and was grateful. Said: "Thank you, you are really a very gentle person."

Wen Yuji was a little embarrassed, he was speechless, Li Song answered for him, before leaving, the mother gave Wen Yuji a gardenia, her house lives next door, the flower is They grow it at home.

Wen Yuji was in a particularly good mood all the way, holding the gardenia and looking at it repeatedly.

Li Song held his hand and said with a light smile, "It's really good what you just said."

Wen Yu sent him a gardenia flower and said, "The gardenia flower is thick and big, and it is so fragrant that you can't even dust it off, so the elegant people don't take it, thinking it is not of high moral character. Gardenia said: 'Go Damn it, I just want to smell like this, and it smells so good, can you fucking control me!'”

Li Song was stunned, and Wen Yu sent: "Since someone is protecting her from the wind and rain, she should live happily and carefree, and no one else can care about her."

Li Song's heart trembled, he clenched the hands intertwined with Wen Yuji's ten fingers, and said softly: "I will protect you from the wind and rain, you just need to live happily."

On the blue tiles and white walls in the south of the Yangtze River, on the bluestone path, Wen Yuji handed him the gardenia flower, saying: "The flower language of the gardenia flower is very romantic, strong, eternal love, and a lifetime of waiting."

That day, Wen Yu sent it to his lifelong companion.

Then in June, the day of their college entrance examinations, Wen Yuji disappeared without a trace along with that waiting.

So far, seven years.

On June [-]rd, all senior high school students left school after taking their graduation photos to prepare for the upcoming college entrance examination.

They fought that day.

It was an indiscriminate disaster, and they didn't even realize it. They were blocked by a group of delinquent teenagers just after they left the school.

Li Yang and Lu Yuanxi came out with them, and they also stopped when they saw this.

There were more than a dozen people on the other side, and they didn't know each other. Just as they were wondering, a girl with dyed yellow hair came out from the crowd. She was in an art class and had made enemies with them during the Lantern Festival before, but this time They have lived in peace for more than a year, and they didn't expect her to be stuck here.

The girl was dressed exaggeratedly, as if she didn't know what fashion was at all, how to dress up in a tacky way, with smoky makeup and black stockings, standing out in the crowd was very eye-catching.

A dark-skinned boy with a scar on his face had a cold face and looked a little fierce. He put his arms around the girl's waist and stared at them. The girl spoke first, and she said, "I have a sister who recently Looking for a boyfriend."

She raised her hand with red nails, pointed to a girl who was dressed similarly to her, and said, "Juan'er, choose one of them."

Li Yang made a sound of "fuck" and cursed: "You are so sick, hurry up and post."

The girl didn't care, and said slowly: "A good dog doesn't get in the way, don't meddle in things that have nothing to do with you, or you won't be able to leave."

Lu Yuanxi sneered, and said, "It's not yet the college entrance examination, so restrain yourself."

The girl stroked her dry hair because she always dyed it, and said lightly: "Because we haven't had the college entrance examination yet, we are different from your good students, and we are not afraid."

She was right, they were likely to drop out of high school directly, but Li Song and the others were different, they could not leave stains, they had to be cautious about their files, otherwise it would affect their admission to higher education and affect their entire lives.

The girl looked at Li Song viciously, and said in a calm tone, "Juan'er, choose one, you won't lose either."

The tired-looking girl who looked sluggish glanced at the two of them casually, and said, "It's just the white one, I like my younger brother."

Li Song immediately cooled down, and he said, "What if we don't agree?"

The girl seemed to have heard something ridiculous, she laughed exaggeratedly, and said, "Then get beaten, or do you think the twenty or so of us are here to play house with you?"

The gate of the school was besieged tightly, and more than [-] punks stood opposite and watched him as if they were watching a play.

The dark-skinned boy smiled wretchedly, and said, "Why, you won't accept the fuck for nothing, isn't it okay?"

The crowd was in a commotion, Li Song hit the boy's face with his fist, and then the scuffle started. The hair of the girl with yellow hair fell to the ground, and the scene got out of control. When the security guard and the teacher came, the boys and girls who took the lead had been beaten to the ground and couldn't get up.

This is a hot-blooded youthful dispute, which is very exciting when fighting, but the consequences after the fight are immeasurable. They were taken to the corridor of the Academic Affairs Office to develop, and the students were more or less defeated. Standing in the corridor, talking and laughing, discussing what happened just now.

The class teacher got a headache when he saw them. Those who were severely beaten were sent to the hospital. If this matter is not handled properly, they will be demerited, punished, and even expelled from school. They will take the college entrance examination in a few days. The teacher in charge seemed to see the bleak future of every student, and the whole person was dying.

The corners of Wen Yuji's mouth turned black. Li Song looked distressed, held his face and asked several times if it hurt. Lu Yuanxi next to him was punched in the eyes and turned into half a panda. He whispered: "You Also pay attention to the impact, it’s all up to you.”

Wen Yu sent his head back, and the students in the class greeted him well. The girl with shattered thick glasses said carelessly, "I don't want to see who is bullying the mascot of our class."

Everyone in the class echoed, and the atmosphere was particularly good. It was the first time that Wen Yujiu had been in this class for three years, and for the first time he had a sense of recognition and a sense of belonging to the group. He said softly but sincerely: "Thank you you."

Everyone waved their hands quickly, and soon there was laughter again.

The head teacher looked out of the window, he couldn't laugh or cry, but he had to admit that this was the most cohesive moment in the three years he led the class.

The physics teacher sneered at the side: "How can a child be so bad? I heard other students describe the situation at that time. Really, that is, I was not there."

The dean was particularly troubled: "Can you please stop making trouble, please tell me that those 20 or so boys are not from our school, and some of them have vocational high schools in the fourth middle school. Just tell me where the kids these days come from so many contacts."

If you insist on pursuing the responsibility, none of these students will be able to escape. Everyone was waiting for news from the hospital, and while they were discussing countermeasures, Li Song opened the door and entered.

Everyone looked at him together.

Li Song stood there calmly, and said: "We are merciful, there is not even a broken bone, just discuss compensation with them, I will pay the compensation."

As soon as these words came out, the dean first breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't lose money for someone, but because they knew how serious they were and kept their hands.

After one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone bid farewell to each other and went home. Before leaving, they finally opened a WeChat group of their own, and this time Wen Yuji was also there.

In the small courtyard in midsummer, Li Song held Wen Yuji's cheek and carefully treated the wound. When Wen Yuji frowned, his heart ached. He thought it was Wen Yuji's injury, this injury It's clearly me.

There was a Band-Aid on the corner of his mouth, Li Song avoided the wound, stuck it to his lips, and said with lingering fear: "You must not get hurt in the future, otherwise my heart may not be able to support you to spend the rest of my life with you."

It was a particularly beautiful summer, and they enjoyed their last high school years.

On the morning of the college entrance examination, Grandma Wang and Aunt Fat got up early to cook for them, and read the admission ticket for the pencil case three times. Step in with your foot, and step out with your left foot when you come out.

She was very reasonable. She said that when entering the examination room, you have to enter from the right and exit from the left, which means that both sides have the same way.

Wang Xiaoniu sent them all the way to the gate, staring at them stepping in with their right foot, she was greatly relieved, and shouted loudly in the crowd: "I'll wait for you here at noon, I'm still here, remember .”

The college entrance examination is the most important thing for students, Li Song and Wen Yuji have no relatives, but they do not receive less care and attention than other candidates.

When he entered the examination room the next afternoon, Li Songxin was half relieved. Both he and Wen Yu answered well. After today's end, they can go out to play.

Before Wen Yu sent him into the examination room, he hugged him tightly and said with a smile, "Brother, come on!"

He also ignored everyone's surprised eyes, hugged him back, and said, "Good words, come on."

However, when the students shouted and celebrated the liberation and rushed out of the school quickly, he did not see Wen Yuji, nor did Wang Xiaoniu wait for Wen Yuji.

He just disappeared.

He waited for him for a long time, looked for him for a long time, and even called the police. Wen Yuji seemed to have disappeared. He went to ask the teacher, but the teacher didn't know where he had gone.

Li Song didn't even know how he got here during that time.

He looked around like crazy. At first, he thought that Wen Yuji might have failed the exam and hid himself. Later, he wondered if he had done something wrong to make him angry. In the end, he had nightmares all night long. Seeing that Wen Yuji met bad guys, was kidnapped or even killed, what would he do if that happened.

He didn't dare to leave the small yard, fearing that Wen Yushou would not be able to find him when he came back. In the morning, he thought that Wen Yushou would come back in the morning, at noon he thought he would come back at noon, and he didn't dare to close the door in the early morning, he was afraid that Wen Yushao would come back in the morning. When I came back and saw him closing the door, I didn't want to come back.

But until the list was released, the grapes were ripe, the apricots fell, the swallows flew, and the courtyard was deserted, he didn't wait for Wen Yu to send it back.

The courtyard was dead silent, there was no smell of food, and no one was breathing. Occasionally, when the wind blew by, the gate would creak, and his heart would viciously lift up, and he listened hard with his breath held, but there was silence outside the gate again. , no one came in.

Later his mother came, she didn't know how she found it here, and asked him to go abroad to study with him.

He didn't agree, he had to go to the capital to go to school, he had an appointment with Wen Yuji.

Wang Xiaoniu hadn't heard him speak for a long time, and said anxiously: "Brother, you should go to college, Yanda is about to start school, maybe Xiaoyu brother will also go to school."

Li Song was awakened by her words, that's right, Wen Yuji was going to school, he would definitely go to school, both of them had signed up for volunteers in advance, and he had to go to school.

He went to Yanda University, and then went to every university in the capital, but he couldn't find Wen Yuji.

His heart was gouged out, and his ribs were pulled out with blood. He sent Wen Yu away and never found it again.

The rain fell along the gardenia petals, and the street lights in the community turned on, and it was already unknown what time it was.

During the day, the boy who stayed with Wen Yu in the coffee shop came from a distance, he gave himself a strange look, and then entered the apartment building, Li Song heard his footsteps going down, he lived with Wen Yu .

Obviously Wen Yuji is here, obviously he is less than one meter away from him during the day, but he dare not talk to him, he is afraid, that kind of fear has been deeply rooted in his bones day and night for seven years He wanted to know why all of this was happening. Before that, he didn't even have the courage to approach Wen Yuji.

The author has something to say: "Gardenias are thick and thick, and they are so fragrant that they can't be dusted off, so they don't take them for elegant people, thinking they are not of high character. Gardenias said: 'Fuck you, I want to be like this Fragrant, so fragrant, can you fucking control it!'”——Wang Zengqi
