meet by chance

When it was close to eight o'clock, the whistling sound of thunderbolts gradually diminished, and dark clouds gathered over the temple, depressing like rolling waves. After a few thumps, they still failed to surface.

Zhou Linye suddenly missed the seven or eight o'clock of Klein Lan. The branches outside the window of his home room grew wildly, and the birds stayed on the branches. When he opened the window, the birds were frightened and fled around. Standing in front of the window, he saw Silhouettes of swaying leaves, and a Klein-blue sky.

Zhou Linye and Xu Zhou were sitting with their backs against the red-painted pillars. Zhou Linye was staring at the drizzle outside the door in a daze. Xu Zhou lowered his head and swiped his phone, not knowing what he was looking at.

Some staff took the cable car to bring food and water. At nine o’clock, the rain had completely stopped, and the person in charge organized tourists to go down the mountain one after another. In the end, there were not many people who actually stayed on the top of the mountain. Zhou Linye and Xu Zhou were a few of them.

After opening the room and taking a shower, it's almost twelve o'clock. The clothes for the day are being dried. Zhou Linye is wrapped in a bath towel and nestled on the bed. His chest is covered by a white quilt. Two white hands are exposed, holding the Typing on my phone,

Xu Zhou was too lazy to blow-dry his hair, and the wet hair was lying on his temples. Xu Zhou scratched it with his hands a little annoyed, and finally picked up the hair dryer resignedly. In the toilet cubicle, he didn't close the door. It's hard to ignore.

When he came out, Zhou Linye still maintained the posture just now.

Xu Zhou pretended to be casual and asked, "What are you playing?"

Zhou Linye kept typing, "Chat."

When the results of the college entrance examination came out tonight, there seemed to be an explosion in the class, saying that the network card could not be accessed, or that they dared not check it. The class teacher sent him a message a few minutes ago, asking about his college entrance examination results, but Zhou Linye did not reply.

A few classmates sent symbolic messages to greet, and there was no need to reply, after all, compared to the relationship between classmates, they just said a few more words.

"Are you checking your grades?"

Zhou Linye didn't respond immediately, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "I'm actually a repeat student."

Xu Zhou was not surprised, he just said "Oh", but Zhou Linye seemed to have found someone to confide in.

"Last year, it didn't mean that I didn't get into college, but..." Zhou Linye frowned, remembering something unpleasant, "My parents changed my college entrance examination choice, and I didn't finish my freshman year, so I dropped out of school and repeated it." gone."

"Where did you go to university?" Xu Zhou was always curious about this.

"Beijing." Zhou Linye said calmly.

Xu Zhou raised his eyebrows, and Tsinghua University and Peking University instantly appeared in his mind.

Zhou Linye seemed to have a feeling in his heart, and said with a light smile: "There are not only two universities in Beijing."

Xu Zhou heaved a sigh of relief inexplicably, "Then which school did you go to?"

"Tsinghua University."

Xu Zhou: "..."

Xu Zhou was always asked by his grandma when he was a child, whether he wanted to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University, he really thought about this question seriously at that time, who knows later...

"My parents insisted that I study medicine. I didn't like it. They didn't know until I dropped out of school for almost two weeks..."

Xu Zhou didn't know what to answer, he didn't have the same experience to empathize with, and he didn't have overflowing sympathy to sympathize with someone who was happier than himself.

Zhou Linye, who was caught in the memory, thought of the boy in front of him, who had long since lost the control of his parents, so he shut up a little guilty.

Xu Zhou flipped through the phone album aimlessly, and the photo with Zhou Linye was listed at the last one. Xu Zhou clicked open and exited, repeated several times, and then switched to another app. The finger operation was frequent, but in fact it was just a horse. view flowers.

"I actually dropped out of school." Xu Zhou said lightly.

Before Zhou Linye, Xu Zhou only felt that he regretted dropping out of school. It had nothing to do with not being able to complete his studies. He just felt that his peers were leading a completely different life from him.

For example, during the sophomore year of high school, his former classmates were preparing for the exam, while Zhou Linye was washing dishes in the back kitchen of the restaurant. During the [-]-day oath of high school, Zhou Linye nestled in the Internet cafe and played games. During the two days of the college entrance examination, he stood in a daze at the school gate.

Now he feels scared, afraid of not having a common topic, and afraid of being despised. Regarding death, he is unprecedentedly calm, anyway, he is just a person who meets by chance.

Zhou Linye raised his head in shock, he was stunned for two seconds before he realized, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Xu Zhou lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes covered the blankness in his eyes.

He said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to read anymore, it's boring."

Zhou Linye wanted to speak, but his mouth became hoarse. He thought of his parents who died in a car accident, an old grandmother who was still a street vendor, you are not him, why should you be unwilling to accept his choice?

Just like when he dropped out of school, the teachers and classmates were puzzled, such a good major, others can't get in if they squeeze their heads, and you quit as soon as you say.

You are not me, why should you understand my unwillingness.

After a long silence, Zhou Linye said in a muffled voice, "Oh."

The circle on the phone screen turned and turned, and finally showed that the loading failed. Zhou Linye dropped the phone impatiently.

"Have you thought about the future?" Zhou Linye asked Xu Zhou.

Xu Zhou thought about it, got up early tomorrow morning and went down the mountain, and sent his grandma home to the street, Zhou Linye should go back to the hotel, then he will find a part-time job again in the afternoon, as for the day after tomorrow...he should have nothing to do with Zhou Linye.

He doesn't have a long-term plan, his every day is limited to a square inch, and he thinks it's too long for a day to be used in the morning, afternoon and evening.

Xu Zhou shook his head.

The screen of Zhou Linye's mobile phone lit up, and one message after another came one after another. Zhou Linye had no choice but to grab the phone.

Someone in the repetition class has already checked the grades, which are not bad.

The head teacher of the repeating class, the former head teacher, classmates, and former best friends all sent messages to greet, and there was a heated discussion among the class.

Zhou Linye clicked on the website again, and entered the admission ticket number and password.

In fact, he is not nervous. To him, re-study is to take the exam again, and then choose a major again.

This time there was no network card, so I went in after a few turns.

Looking from top to bottom, Zhou Linye found that the test questions were more difficult than last year, but he was a little longer on the contrary.

Zhou Linye took screenshots and sent them out one by one before turning his phone to silent.

"Xu Zhou, I'm leaving tomorrow. As soon as I graduated, I ran around without a destination. I think I love freedom, but now I feel that I am not mature."

Zhou Linye lowered his head, crossed his hands, and rubbed his thumb against his index finger back and forth.

After a long while, Xu Zhou made a sound and said with a forced smile, "Okay, do you want me to see you off?"

Xu Zhou sat on the bed, spread his legs apart, propped his elbows on his thighs, and stared at the patterns on the floor.

Zhou Linye moved from the head of the bed to the middle of the bed, poked his head out cautiously, and looked directly into Xu Zhou's eyes from bottom to top. His waist supported the weight of his whole body, his neck was slightly red, and his veins were bulging. Zhou Linye raised his head vigorously, and kissed him. touched Xu Zhou's lips.
