【Nine years ago】

At that time, he never thought that, as an authentic southerner, one day he would come to Beiyuan alone with his luggage.

The university life that is about to start here will last for four years.

From the moment the plane lands, everything changes a little bit.Pale and weak sunlight, monotonous street scenes, and glasses lenses covered with water mist due to temperature changes are Shi's initial impressions of this northern city.

The way to school is not difficult to find.The hospitable taxi driver chattered nonsense, and when he arrived at his destination, he graciously helped him carry his luggage downstairs to the dormitory.

It has been a month since the official start of school, and there are quite a few students walking back and forth in the dormitory area, looking at Shanshan from time to time when she was late.

The uncle in the guard room took out a bunch of keys from the drawer, handed out a page-turning book from the window, and then registered his name and student number.

Before leaving, the parents gave thousands of reminders, for fear that if they didn't follow, their precious son would be wronged.While comforting him, Shi secretly took out the three catties of special products stuffed in the suitcase and put them back in the storage room.

When I left home for the first time to start a new life, I was a little scared, but at the same time, it seemed to be a kind of anticipation for the unknown.

After completing the formalities, Shi rushed up to the fifth floor with a suitcase in one hand.

The concrete floor was a little trembling from being smashed, but Shi was panting heavily, and could not help crying secretly.Fortunately, on weekdays, he was able to exercise hard, which allowed him to successfully transport two boxes of heavy luggage upstairs.

The first day of arriving in a new environment is always extremely embarrassing.

At that time, he was like an abandoned toy, standing disgraced at the corner of the corridor, looking at the interior of the dormitory with some frustration.

The entire floor is a long corridor, with dormitory doors neatly distributed on both sides, and only the windows at the end let in light, shining on the gray and white walls.The scruffy-dressed boy walked past him in slippers and headed for the public water room with a washbasin in his hand.

I have to say that this place is indeed a little dilapidated and crude than imagined.

When Shi was in a daze, suddenly a person came over with a pair of sneakers behind him, glanced at him unnaturally, and then yelled, which shocked Shi.

"Shi Que? Is your name Shi Que?"

At that time, he fixed his eyes on the boy who was staring at him as if he was looking at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when he heard him call out his name.

This man was about the same size as himself, with a dark complexion, fashionable yellow hair, and piercing eyes, making him look very cheerful and reliable.

Shi Shi nodded in a daze, "Well, I am. How do you know?"

"Hi." The boy got an affirmative answer, immediately became complacent, patted Shige on the shoulder very familiarly, and introduced himself, "My name is Xie Cheng, and I used to share the same dorm with you."

As Xie Cheng said, he reached out and took off the backpack behind him, rummaged inside for a while, took out a plastic card and handed it to Shi Que, and sighed, "Here, take a look, is this you. I recognized it right away, such a handsome face, I remember it very well.”

When he took the card, he realized that his photo and name were printed on it. "This is... my student card? Why are you here?"

Xie Cheng hurriedly explained: "The counselor asked me to hand it over to you. He said that you went to the summer camp and couldn't make it for the time being. Let me take it for you first. Which major do you have?"

But when I looked at him a little embarrassedly, "Communication studies."

Xie Cheng put his schoolbag on his back, and when he consciously helped, he picked up a suitcase and led him forward, "Oh, I'm a journalist, although it's not a major, but it's a college anyway, and many classes are grouped together. " While talking, Xie Cheng took out his mobile phone from his butt pocket, and said happily, "Come on bro, first add a WeChat..."

But Shi has to admit that when entering a new environment for the first time, it is a lucky thing to have a friend who doesn't know what embarrassment is by nature and can chat with anyone.

Compared with the unsatisfactory conditions in the dormitory, Xie Cheng's appearance may be the only comforting thing in a tiring day.

Under his enthusiastic guidance, in less than half an hour, Shi has already obtained most of the useful information that needs to be mastered in daily life, including how to get to the teaching area, where to get food, how to take a bath, etc. Xie Cheng paid attention to everything It was taught to him all at once, and along the way led him to know all the classmates in the entire dormitory and the adjacent dormitories.

There seems to be no extra sense of distance between boys. People in the dormitory heard that a classmate who hadn't shown up for a long time finally appeared, and they came to visit one after another to see if there was anything they could help.

With half a pear in his mouth, Xie Cheng squatted on the upper bed and wiped the dust off the bed frame vigorously, humming an inaudible song from time to time.

But when he threw the backpack on the table, he took out a glasses case from the bag, took off the glasses and wiped them carefully.

Xie Cheng glanced at him from above, and said casually, "Your degree doesn't look small."

Shi squinted his eyes, took a breath on the glasses, nodded and said: "Well, it's more than 800 degrees. Without glasses, I'm almost blind."

Xie Cheng laughed heartily, and continued to wipe the bed board vigorously. "Where are you from?"

But Shi replied: "Ming Hai, I grew up by the sea since I was a child, and I haven't been to the north much."

Xie Cheng gnawed on a pear, and said "Hey", "Look at your appearance, you are so white and clean, you really are one side of the world."

After a while, he threw down the rag, stepped on the ladder, and said to Shi: "Come, bring up the bedroll you just bought."

But when he heard the words, he lifted the whole roll of quilt on the ground over his head and handed it to Xie Cheng.

Xie Cheng helped him make the bed neatly, touched the thickness of the quilt by the way, and said with some concern: "This quilt is a bit thin, so it won't be cold. After a while, it will snow and probably won't be able to cover it."

Shi was taken aback, "Is this thick enough?"

"I don't know, let's try it when the time comes." Xie Cheng jumped up, fell to the ground neatly, and patted the ashes on his body, "If you feel cold, I will bring you a thick, pure cotton bed from home. Flower quilt, keep you warm."

Shi was greatly moved by these words, his delicate face was full of admiration and gratitude, "Thank you very much today, you helped me buy this and that, and you even made my bed."

Xie Cheng picked up his schoolbag, glanced at the time, and patted Shi on the shoulder affectionately, "It's a small matter, you stay here first, I have to go, see you in class tomorrow."

But when he glanced at the sky, he couldn't help asking: "You don't live here?"

Xie Cheng nodded: "Well, it's too far away from the teaching area, and there is a gate control at night, so it's not comfortable to live in. I stayed outside for a week and found another place. The dormitory was originally tight, and there were not enough beds for one person. Many people have moved to live outside. I heard from the seniors that the facilities in this dormitory are too old, the floors are thin, and the heating basically doesn’t work in winter, so it’s a pain to stay there.”

But when he blinked his beautiful almond eyes, he looked like he was facing a big enemy, "Huh?"

Xie Cheng was amused by his serious look, and quickly comforted him: "It's okay, I just have a lot of problems, and there are so many people in our dormitory. If you can't stay here, go Follow me."

Shi was startled, and suddenly felt as if he had found a savior.

Xie Cheng winked at him for a moment, then swaggered away with his basketball shoes in hand.

After that day, Shi started a real college life, and lived a fulfilling and ordinary life every day.

In fact, after getting used to this northern city, you will find that there is no resistance as originally imagined.After a long time, Shi will slowly count the days that are getting shorter and shorter every day, and start to look forward to the long and cold winter here.

The clothes on his body gradually became thicker.Shi Que, who has never succumbed to the low temperature in the south, finally couldn't bear it anymore one afternoon, and ran to buy warm long johns to change into. By the way, he ordered two of the thickest down jackets in the store for emergencies.

According to Xie Cheng's words, it was not too late for him to be regarded as "a hero who does not suffer from immediate losses".

In addition to daily life, the main task of freshmen is naturally to attend classes.It is not easy to make up for a professional class that is one month late.But fortunately, whenever Shi was drowsy in class, Xie Cheng was always at the side, chattering about some extremely boring things, pulling Shi back from the brink of falling asleep.

Sometimes I feel that if human beings are compared to machines, then in Xie Cheng's body structure, there must be one more engine than other people.

Waking up early every day, with heavy schoolwork, the workload is not much easier than in high school. Xie Cheng is always like a sun that never sets, full of vigor all the time.

That day's swimming lesson was over, but Shi already felt weak in his limbs, but Xie Cheng still looked like he had just woken up, excitedly walking towards the locker while he was getting dressed, and he didn't forget to pat his butt.

Since I met Xie Cheng, this guy has been inseparable from me almost every day.After getting along for a long time, I no longer restrain my temper, and become more unrestrained.

Shi's ears turned red, and he rolled his eyes towards the opposite side with his mouth curled up, as if he was justly refuting Xie Chengchou's shameless behavior.

While putting on his clothes, Xie Cheng cast a wink at Shi, and asked with a smile: "Our school team will have a training match later, do you want to watch me play?"

But when she was busy brushing her hair, she didn't pay attention to him.

Seeing that the game wasn't attractive enough, Xie Cheng put forward another tempting condition, rubbing Shi Que's shoulder with an exaggerated expression, "Many beautiful girls are going, but Shi Que, what a great opportunity, take advantage of it. "

Shi, however, obviously dismissed it, and frowned, "Do you think I'm you? I know how to add the wechat of girls from various colleges every day, and chat with them until midnight."

Xie Cheng swiftly put on a red school team jacket, patted Shi Que on the shoulder and said, "That's the deal... I'll wait for you outside, and I'll introduce the pretty senior to you later."

But as soon as he wiped off the water droplets on his body, Xie Cheng ran away without a trace.

Dragging his sore body, he put on the clothes one after another. After putting on a fluffy cotton cap, he felt that it was not enough, and then took out a mask from his pocket and put it on.

There was a sudden breath on the glasses, which disappeared and rose with the breath.

Shi simply took off his glasses, stuffed them into the inner pocket of his coat, and left the swimming pool with his barely able to distinguish the road.

In front of the mirror outside the door, there were many girls huddled together, blowing their hair warmly.

Passing through the crowd, Shi saw Xie Cheng who was wearing a red sportswear on the chair in the distance at a glance, trotted over quickly, and leaned limply on his shoulder.

"Let's go... take me to the ball."

She seemed to be acting like a baby, but she was wearing a big mask at the time, and she spoke weakly and authentically.

The strange thing is that the person next to him didn't stretch out his arms to wrap his arms around his shoulders as usual, or rub his head vigorously with his hands. Instead, he seemed to be playing dead and stood motionless in place.

But when he hit the opponent hard with his thigh, he questioned: "Why don't you talk anymore? Could it be that my golf skills are not good enough, and I'm afraid I'll be ashamed?"

After waiting for a long time, the people around me were still like a piece of wood, not saying a word.

But Shi suddenly sat upright, and was about to ask, when he suddenly noticed something strange.

"Xie Cheng" who was sitting next to him suddenly seemed to grow taller and whiter at some point, and even his hairstyle was completely different from before.

Shi's eyes froze, and when he moved a little closer, his face instantly burned.

The moment he narrowed his eyes to focus, what appeared in front of Shi Que was a completely unfamiliar face.

Thick eyebrows, willow eyes, high nose bridge.

Because he didn't wear glasses, Shi could only see a vague outline, but it didn't affect the first impression this person gave him.Indifferent, serious, condescending, difficult to approach.

At that time, I thought, the so-called natural beauty is probably used to describe such a person.

Just a brief moment of eye contact is enough to be amazing.

The man who was so good-looking but trembled twice in his heart was frowning slightly, staring at him motionlessly.

"No..." The boy seemed to be thinking for a while, then turned his head away, his voice was soft and low, and after a pause, he answered Shi Que's question, "I've always been good at shooting."
