Window 2, Seventh Canteen

The hotel where Jiang's father stayed was not far from the school. When Jiang Wei got there, it was just after 08:30.

His dad was sitting on the bed in a bathrobe, watching TV and drinking tea.

It looks relaxed and enjoyable, like a vacation.

Jiang Wei suddenly felt that he shouldn't have come.

Father Jiang patted on the bed, and Jiang Wei went over to sit down.

Father Jiang said, "What are you busy with? I haven't answered the phone."

Jiang Wei: "I didn't hear that, the phone's vibration is adjusted." He felt a little guilty, "Then what, if you wear thick clothes in winter, you can't hear it if you don't adjust the vibration."

Jiang's father: "It's not the same as not hearing it if it shakes."

Jiang Wei: "Dad, why did you come here suddenly? You didn't say anything before you came."

Father Jiang: "I happened to be here on an urgent matter. I left in a hurry and didn't have time to tell in advance. Why don't I just come here?"

Jiang Wei groaned, waiting for his father to speak, but Jiang's father continued to drink tea and gave Jiang Weiyi a cup.

The two sat next to each other by the bed, not talking, the animal world was playing on the TV, and the voices of lions and tigers echoed in the room.

When the cup of tea was bottomed out, Father Jiang said: "It's troublesome to be old. You see, I still bring this tea by myself. Otherwise, I really can't get used to the tea in the hotel. I'm old and my mouth is very picky."

Jiang Wei: "It's called pursuing, and the tea is pretty good."

Father Jiang: "Your Uncle Hu planted it himself in Yunnan."

Jiang Wei groaned, but actually couldn't remember which Uncle Hu it was. His father had too many friends, and they were all called uncles. He had been in contact with hundreds of uncles since he was a child, and he really couldn't tell who was who.

Father Jiang started chatting with Jiang Wei about the family life, about Uncle Hu's ten-acre tea garden, Uncle Wang's fish pond, Uncle Zhao's parrot garden, Uncle Liu's greenhouse sun room, Uncle Li's creative studio...

As soon as I talked about it, it was endless, and the topic continued until 10:30 without stopping. The tiger and lion on TV were replaced by dolphins, and then changed from dolphins to elephants. His father’s thinking was the same Tian Nanhai The North is spinning around.

In the end, Jiang Wei couldn't bear it any longer, "I said Dad, you came to find me, all this way, just to talk to me about the daily life of these uncles?"

Father Jiang smiled, "You boy, what do you think after listening to me so much?"

Jiang Wei: "I think you have so many friends."

Jiang's father: "Yes, they are all interesting people who live wonderful lives and do what they really love to do every day. Although they are tired, they all have sunny faces. I am envious when I look at them."

Jiang Wei: "What are you doing? Are you planning to retire early and live in the countryside?"

Father Jiang: "I would like to, but I can't leave. You know I'm busy."

Jiang Wei: "I know you are busy, but I don't know what you are busy with every day."

Jiang's father smiled again, "You are not young, and you are about to graduate, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Jiang Wei: "Just do this major, I don't have any special ideas."

Father Jiang: "But I don't think you care too much about your major. You don't spend as much time on homework as you do on games."

"You mean I'm going to play games professionally after graduation?"

"As long as you feel good and really like it, there's nothing wrong with it."

"You are a dad with enough personality. Other parents are afraid of their children playing games, but you are good, and you are still teasing."

"I'm not joking with you. Dad is also old, and he is more open-minded. You see, you are still studying now, and your eyes are full of light, but if you are stuck in trivial matters that you don't like after graduation, this The kind of light will soon disappear, Dad has seen too many people like this, when he just graduated, his face was full of longing, and after three years, he was lifeless, it’s not good, I don’t want you to do the same.”

"No way, it's so scary."

"You'll know then."

"Okay, I'll pay attention to it when the time comes, hey dad, isn't it too early to say these things now, I haven't graduated for more than a year."

"It's never too early to talk about important things in life. Dad will point you in the right direction. You can think about the rest. You see, you have been a student since you were two years old. You are used to it. Dad just wants to remind you. , think more from the general direction, don't fix your identity, it doesn't matter whether you are a major after graduation, the world is big, there are many possibilities, you can also go out into the world, travel, start a business, or continue to study, It can also be..." He pointed to the TV, "or other meaningful things, such as protecting rhinos and elephants."

Jiang Wei couldn't help laughing.

Father Jiang lovingly patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder.

Jiang Wei: "Let's talk about that later. After graduation, you must first find a job to earn money to support yourself. You said that, the pursuit is a bit high."

Dad Jiang: "Children, don't think about money first, but about interest first. You have to be enthusiastic. Money and so on will come naturally, and there is also Dad. What are you going to do? Tell Dad, you must Support you."

Jiang Wei: "Eating the old man? Come on, you are just an ordinary person, and you can't eat much meat."

Jiang's father suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, how are you and your boyfriend? Are things going well?"

Jiang Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to say that it had finally started, "Well, it's not bad, it's pretty good."

Father Jiang: "That's good."

Jiang Wei: "?" This old man has nothing to ask?

Jiang's father seemed to see through Jiang Wei's thoughts at a glance, "Before I came, I really wanted to say a lot, especially in the afternoon, but I called you a few times and couldn't find anyone. At that time, I felt that this child was real. When I grow up, I have lived in other places for so many years, and I know almost everything I need to know, so I feel that the questions I prepared are a bit redundant." Father Jiang said, taking out a thick folder from his briefcase.

Jiang Wei took it with black lines all over his head, and when he opened it, he saw the listed questions first.

He has considered most of them, such as the ending of same-sex couples, marriage and family offspring.

Father Jiang: "Look, I've prepared my speech, but after a while, I don't bother to say it. You can take this and read it. I have sorted out a lot of materials and cases later, all about same-sex relationships. .”

"Oh." Jiang Wei flipped through it casually, suddenly showing embarrassment. There are many pages in the back that introduce how comrades have sex and protective measures.

Jiang Wei hurriedly turned over the page, but it turned out that the latter part was more straightforward. It was an anatomical diagram with an explanation of the prostate...

Father Jiang got up, "Do you want to sleep with Dad tonight? But I'm going to bed soon, and I can't talk with you too much. I have to get up early for the flight tomorrow morning."

Jiang Wei actually wanted to leave. Although Han Zilu said that he didn't need to go there, he felt that the two had just had an intimate relationship, and at least they should stay together tonight.

But now Dad keeps him overnight...

Jiang Wei knew his father's temper, the more he downplayed it, the more caring he was.

For example, when I gave him comrade information, the look on his face seemed to have nothing to do with him, but he really cared about it.

Jiang Wei struggled for a long time, and finally stayed.

It was rare for father and son to share the same bed, Jiang Wei fell asleep accompanied by his father's snoring, but his mind was full of Han Zilu.

Recurring dreams of him standing under a street lamp.

The next day, when Jiang Wei woke up, his father had already left.

Sending a text message to Han Zilu, Han Zilu replied that he had gone to work.

Jiang Wei lay on the wide bed and sighed, yesterday, there were too many people to accompany him, and today, he was left alone.

On Saturday, Han Zilu was very busy. Jiang Wei sent a text message, and it took a long time to receive a reply. Jiang Wei wanted to go to Han Zilu's house to look for him at night, but he left the hotel at 10:30. Do the math, and it will take eleven o'clock to get home Yes, although Jiang Wei really wanted to see him, but he was afraid of delaying his rest, so he gave up.

The situation on the second day was similar. Jiang Wei stayed in the dormitory, always feeling annoyed, unable to do anything, just checked the phone when he had nothing to do, and repeatedly opened the inbox to check if there was a text message from Han Zilu, but always ended in disappointment.

It's strange to say that in normal times, Zhao Siyuan would always come out to look for him, but these two days, he didn't see Zhao Siyuan.

I went to his dormitory but couldn't find it. I heard that he ran to some farmhouse in the suburbs of Beijing to play, and was asked to leave by Qi Shudai.

Jiang Wei sent a text message to ask him what he and his father were talking about, Zhao Siyuan only returned after a long time, and only said that they had chatted about family affairs, had a light meal, and nothing else.

In the next few days, Jiang Wei always felt that something was wrong. Although his life was the same, he always felt that something was missing.

Because I can't see Han Zilu?Probably not, after all, we didn't see each other every day before, and he was quite used to it.

Is that because of Zhao Siyuan?Jiang Wei felt that this might be a bit too big. Although the two of them still had breakfast together recently, Zhao Siyuan obviously talked less, and he ran away after class at noon, as if there was something urgent, and Jiang Wei couldn't even catch him.

A week ended in a blink of an eye, and the student union held activities on the weekend. Jiang Wei originally wanted to go to Han Zilu at night, but his plan was in vain.

In the next few weeks, he continued to be busy, even busier, and Han Zilu was not much better. Their schedules did not match. In nearly a month, they only met three times. Each meeting is not long.

The first time I had lunch, the second time I watched a movie, and the third time Han Zilu accompanied Jiang Wei to take an elective.The longest time was no more than two and a half hours, which made Jiang Wei unsatisfied every time, but it was not good to run directly to Han Zilu's house.

Han Zilu got off work late, if Jiang Wei went to see him at night, it would be almost after ten o'clock, and he knew that at this time, he couldn't do anything except hug him to sleep, and Jiang Wei hurt Han Zilu last time, he always had some scruples in his heart , I don't want to have anything to happen to him easily.

I also don't want Han Zilu to feel that he misses his body too much.

As the saying goes, the brave starve to death the timid, just like that, after Jiang Wei was hungry for a month, inexplicable urges often surged in his heart, and he even watched movies more times than before.

There is no way, if you taste meat, you will not be a monk.

Jiang Wei didn't mention it, but he kept thinking about it in his heart, and kept comparing Han Zilu's rest time with his own class time, thinking about when he could get together and stay together for a whole day.

Therefore, when Han Zilu told him that he could rest on the weekend in the second week of April, Jiang Wei was all excited, and immediately pushed all weekend activities to make time for Han Zilu.

Then start counting down the days.

It was finally Thursday, and there were only two days left to spend the weekend with Han Zilu. Jiang Wei looked through the posts expectantly, planning where to go with Han Zilu.

There is a whole day, in fact, a short trip can be considered, but I don't know if Han Zilu will feel tired.

Otherwise, don't make such a fuss, go watch a movie, play Happy Valley?

Jiang Wei got up very early today, went out to buy breakfast by herself, and did not act with Zhao Siyuan.

He stopped his bicycle and took the bread out of the basket.

A senior student from the same major passed by in front of him, and he greeted her symbolically.

The senior sister walked towards him, took off her earphones, and seemed to have something to say.

Jiang Wei: "?"

Senior sister: "Did something happen in your grade? Have you heard?"

Jiang Wei: "What happened? Haven't heard of it?"

Senior sister: "Could it be a sophomore..."

Jiang Wei: "What's the matter?"

Senior sister: "I haven't figured it out yet, I'll ask again, and I'll talk about it later."

Jiang Wei didn't care, went to the workshop, and continued to think wildly while scrubbing the workbench.

Where should I go to hang out with Han Zilu?

He arrived at the workshop very early, and there were only two or three people in the class, who were distributed in the three-story workshop, and there was almost no sense of presence.

He wiped the countertop repeatedly, poured muddy water into the sink, and when he was washing the basin, he ran into that senior again.

She patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder, "I'm sure, it's in your grade."

"what?"

Senior sister: "Last night, someone in your junior year committed suicide."

Jiang Wei: "Isn't it? It's true or not, who said it?"

Senior sister: "It should be true, but I also heard it."

Jiang Wei felt that this matter was completely unimaginable, "Who is so overwhelmed?"

Senior sister: "The surname is Chen, I don't know too much...you can ask your juniors, I'm off to work, Bi She hasn't finished yet."

Jiang Wei: "Okay, goodbye." After finishing speaking, he continued to wash the basin, thinking it was true or not, he had never heard of it at all.

suicide?Take a knife and slash the wrist twice.

Jiang Wei didn't pay much attention to this matter.

The students came one after another, sitting lazily in the small classroom, waiting for the teacher to come.

Jiang Wei was arranging tools when suddenly a girl nicknamed Maizi in the same class strode in and said, "Have you all heard about it? Chen Yang committed suicide."

One stone stirred up waves, and after a brief silence, the classroom exploded.

Several people asked at the same time: "Is it true? What's going on?"

Jiang Wei just sat in a daze, thinking that he knew Chen Yang, who was in the dyeing class, and had dinner together by chance last month.

Maizi sat down panting, and threw the bag on the ground, "Did you really not hear about it? Chen Yang jumped off the building from the Three Teachings last night."

Jiang Wei: "Jump off the building? Injured?"

Maizi looked impatient, "He died, he died on the spot."
