Looking forward to the stars

youth

"My name is Zhanchen."

Jin Haohui was lying on the bed playing games with his mobile phone, and suddenly heard someone talking below, so he looked around, but he didn't see anyone.

"I am here."

With a gentle and clean voice, with a bit of jerky after changing his voice, Jin Haohui moved to the bed rail and looked down. A little boy was standing under his bed, with a gentle manner, a handsome and beautiful face, white and clean, looking up at him, clear and watery The big eyes looked at him expectantly.

"what's up?"

This is a classmate in his class, named Zhanchen, looking forward to the stars, Jin Haohui will have an impression of him, because he is really outstanding, he went to N University at the age of 15, with top grades, good writing, and a good reputation, as soon as he finished it When I introduced myself, all the boys and girls in the class shouted:

"Ah, he is the author of that xx, so young."

"Such a spicy and sophisticated work was actually written by this little guy."

"I heard that he is the son of a professor at a certain school. He has good genes, and we can't compare."

There were all kinds of voices of envy, jealousy and praising joy. Although Jin Haohui hated other people gathering together to talk about it, he also had a good impression of this handsome little boy.

"I heard that you're going to move out and you're looking for a roommate. I want to move out too."

"Oh, that's fine, let's go and see together sometime."

This was their first conversation, he was 15, he was 18.

They lived in the school for a month, and both of them moved out after the military training. Zhan Chen was afraid of noise, and Jin Haohui thought it would be troublesome to live with too many people, so the things they brought were sent to another place before they were taken out.

"Hey, that box looks heavy, let me help you."

Jin Haohui is strong and has few things. He finished two trips and was returning the keys when he saw Zhanchen dragging a big box and struggling to move upstairs, so he came down to help him.

"What's in it? It's so heavy."

"Book."

"all?"

"Ah."

There are not many books issued by the school. Jin Haohui understands why people can write good articles. It turns out that all the hard work is here.

"You don't have much tan."

The new dormitory was on the third floor. They carried a big box and parked it in the corridor between the two buildings. They were not familiar with each other. Jin Haohui felt a little embarrassed to be silent, so he asked casually.

"Well, I have this skin type."

Zhanchen wiped the sweat on his forehead, and replied, the moment he raised his eyes, his slender eyelashes were as light as butterfly wings, and his clear eyes were exquisitely lustrous, like sunshine in May, radiant, gentle and gentle, Jin Haohui sincerely felt that , The child's eyes are so beautiful.

After finishing the first class in the afternoon, Jin Haohui returned to the apartment. There are two rooms and one living room. The landlord is a teacher from their school. He bought a new house and rented out the house, which is also close to the school.

"It rained so hard that my clothes were wet"

Jin Haohui put away the umbrella and entered the house, dripping water all the way, opened the umbrella again, and put it on the balcony to dry, when Zhanchen went out with him in the morning.

"Together after class?"

"Oh, no need, I have something to do at noon, you go back first."

Before Jin Haohui left at noon, he saw the dark clouds gathering in the sky, so he was more diligent and brought an umbrella. Right after the first class, it began to rain heavily, hitting the windows crackling. Tennis, because of the rain, Jin Haohui's class was canceled, so he went back first, and Zhan Chen's class was changed to indoor.

After 5 o'clock, Jin Haohui went to pick him up with an umbrella. The child didn't come back at noon, and he didn't bring an umbrella.

When he walked to the sports room, they had already finished class early.

"Where is Zhanchen?"

Jin Haohui asked the remaining classmate.

"He, he waited here for a while, maybe he wanted to wait for the rain to calm down before leaving. Look, it's getting bigger and bigger."

The classmates kept muttering and complaining:

"Why hasn't it been delivered yet, it's freezing to death."

Jin Haohui was a little worried. How could he go back without an umbrella in such a heavy wind and rain? If he went along the way back to the apartment, he could still pick it up halfway, but there were several roads from here to the school gate, so he might not know which one he would take .

"thank you."

Jin Haohui walked quickly in the rain, looked around, and chose a road of stone statues that he was most likely to walk on. The moving statues on both sides of the road were lifelike, and they looked smooth and hazy in the rain.

"Zhanchen."

A figure was running in the rain, and soon disappeared after leaving the school. Jin Haohui did not admit his mistake. At that time, Zhanchen was still developing. He was younger than ordinary college students, and his physique was naturally a head smaller. Among them, he was really A little bit.

Jin Haohui followed closely, and saw Zhan Chen still in the rain from a distance, with his hands on his chest, as if he was holding something in his arms.

"That person doesn't even know how to avoid the rain!"

Jin Haohui was anxious in his heart, and ran up.

"Hey, Zhanchen, don't run away, Zhanchen."

Hearing someone calling him from behind, Zhan Chen stopped and turned around to look.

"Haohui, why are you here, ah!"

He hurriedly hid under a tree, protecting the book in his arms, with a distressed expression on his face, Jin Haohui ran to his side, covered him with an umbrella, his face sullen.

"Why don't you wait a little longer, and run away after such a heavy rain."

"We let it go too early, the sports room is going to close, I didn't expect you to come, don't you have class?"

Zhan Chen argued.

"My little master, can you still have football lessons when it rains?"

Jin Haohui looked at the lying child jokingly, Zhan Chen frowned:

"I don't want to trouble you, you still have to work at night, and you don't have time to rest."

When he had more free time after school, Jin Haohui worked part-time at a nearby KFC.

He opened another umbrella and handed him the one in his hand.

"I don't even know how to avoid the rain, my whole body is soaked."

"Shelter from the rain?"

Zhanchen looked behind him blankly. There were green trees, protective walls, and construction buildings along the way. They were all bare and unsheltered. Where could they avoid them?

Jin Haohui looked at him strangely, and also looked back, his face changed.

"Ah, that, go back quickly, be careful of catching a cold."

"Oh."

"What book are you holding in your arms? Protect it even in the rain."

"Borrowed from the library, it won't work if it gets wet."

"Is it cold?"

"A bit."

"move."

In the rain, the back of the young people who are inseparable is holding an umbrella and rushing forward. The light and peaceful life, the children in the Mood for Love, and the two energetic new students are rushing forward.

"Ah!"

Back at the apartment, Zhan Chen sneezed tremblingly, Jin Haohui held up his umbrella, took out a dry towel and covered his little head to wipe him with water, Zhan Chen stood still, blinked his eyes, and stared fixedly he.

"What are you looking at?"

Jin Haohui didn't think there was anything strange about his actions. He has been renting with him for almost a year, and he has long been used to taking care of this classmate who is three years younger than him. From time to time, he still serialized novels on the Internet, and the extra income from the manuscript fee was more than enough for him to live on for a month.

"It's nothing."

"Go take a shower later, drink some medicine, don't catch a cold."

"Um"

And then added:

"You are very verbose"

Jin Haohui raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth opened and closed.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Zhanchen spread out the books one by one to dry, still obediently drank the potion and took a shower, not because Jin Haohui specifically told him, but because this is something ordinary people would do, is he treating him as a fool? ?Frowning into a ball, Zhan Chen went back to his room to surf the Internet.

After a busy night, it was almost 12 o'clock when Jin Haohui came back. There will be no classes in the first and second periods tomorrow morning, so he can just sleep in.When he came out of the shower, Zhanchen poured him a glass of water and put it on the table. After Jin Haohui drank it, he took a step back to the room to sleep, not paying attention to his feet.

"Bang!"

The chair bumped against the corner of the table, making a piercing noise, which was really terrible in the middle of the night, Jin Haohui was panicked, and Zhan Chen would definitely be woken up.

"Haohui, you're back."

Zhan Chen walked out clutching his forehead, his eyelids were lazy, and his face was flushed.

"Sorry to bother you."

He moved the chair back and set it up, just now, the drowsiness disappeared for a while, and he sat on the sofa tiredly, Zhanchen walked over.

"I haven't fallen asleep, and I feel a little uncomfortable. Do you have antipyretics?"

"Fever medicine? Do you have a fever?"

Shocked, Jin Haohui moved closer to him and stroked his forehead.

"God, it's so hot, I rarely get sick, only cold medicine at home"

Jin Haohui pushed him on the sofa.

"Lie down, apply cold water first, if the fever doesn't subside, you have to go see it right away"

Zhanchen half-closed his eyes, watching him take out a piece of ice from the freezer, wrapped it in a thin towel and crushed it, walked over and put it on his forehead.

"Ok….."

Zhanchen tilted his head uncomfortably, it was too cold.

"Be patient."

Jin Haohui reprimanded:

"Why didn't you call me to bring it back, I'm just outside."

"It's late and the pharmacies are closed"

Zhanchen pressed his hand on the towel:

"I'll do it myself, you go to sleep."

"You are sick, can I still sleep?"

Jin Haohui blurted out, and then felt something was wrong, staring blankly at Zhan Chen, Zhan Chen didn't hear any deep meaning, just blinked, and said with a sigh:

"I'm really fine, you don't have to take care of me like this, it makes me feel like I'm always bothering you"

"What are you talking about? I'm older than you, so what's wrong with taking care of you? Who told you to go to college at such a young age? I was still in junior high school when I was your age. My parents don't know how great it is to take care of me, unlike you, who lived independently at the age of 15, and, by the way, how many grades have you skipped?"

Jin Haohui looked at him curiously. What he said just now made Zhan Chen feel like he was his or something, and felt a little guilty.

"Two grades of elementary school and one grade of junior high school."

Zhanchen replied.

"Oh."

Jin Haohui just asked casually, and listened to the answers casually. Anyway, this kid's experience is unusual.

After freezing for a while, Jin Haohui put his hand on his forehead, and touched his own again.

"It's down, drink some granules later, and you should be fine."

In the middle of the night, Jin Haohui went to Zhanchen's room to look twice, pulled the corner of the sheet he pushed off and put it on his stomach, and tried his temperature again, and went back to sleep after making sure that there was no repetition.

Lying on the bed but unable to sleep for a long time, thinking about today and Zhan Chen, it's normal, he is often very concerned about his affairs, he feels that he is not a very considerate person, careless, careless, but for Zhan Chen, He can put him first and think about him in everything. Is this the eagerness to protect the calf?But Zhanchen is not his child; he is his younger brother, but do he have such good manners to take care of his younger brother?A classmate, but I still can't think of it as a classmate, because he is too young.

"Ahh... my head is getting bigger, I don't want to."

Jin Haohui raised his legs and shook his legs in discouragement. After all, he had done physical labor. Once he made up his mind, he turned over and fell asleep.

"You and Zhanchen should live in the same room, he fainted."

"where is it?"

Jin Haohui stood up from his chair, his expression panicked, the students who came to inform him were startled,

"He's in the infirmary..."

"Hey, don't worry, he's fine."

The classmate watched the arrow-like figure jumping out of the door, added what he hadn't finished in time, and immediately laughed at himself.

"Hey, everyone is gone, who are you going to tell?"

"Zhanchen"

Jin Haohui ran to the door of the infirmary, and a boy who looked older than them was covering Zhan Chen with a quilt. Seeing him rushing, he made a silent movement, and the two of them stopped in the aisle.

"Hi, my name is Zhang Xiang."

The boy introduced himself in a gentle manner, with a very ordinary face and politeness.

"My name is Jin Haohui, Zhanchen's roommate."

In the evening, Zhang Xiang, the head of the literature department, visited Zhanchen at the apartment and brought a large bag of fruit. Zhanchen sat on the sofa and watched the news.

"minister."

"feelling better?"

"Well, thanks for visiting me."

Jin Haohui came out of the house and saw Zhang Xiang peeling fruit.

"Hey, let me come."

This man was a threat, Jin Haohui felt inexplicably, feeling a little upset, took the apple in his hand, peeled it sullenly, and handed it to Zhanchen.

Afterwards they chatted for a while, Jin Haohui was sitting by the side all the time, with a bit of hostility in his eyes, he naturally had a few more knives when he saw people, Zhang Xiang was a literary person, he was more sensitive than ordinary people, and he could only express his innocence when he noticed it. resistance.

When Jin Haohui sent him out, he suddenly made a joke.

"He is very likable, if you don't hurry up, I will take it away."

Jin Haohui blushed immediately, and stammered as if someone had poked his heart:

"Yes... so what, but he is here with me, so don't think about it."

Zhang Xiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed out loud, his smiling eyes looked kind and kind, Jin Haohui realized that he had been fooled by him, and his face turned red.

"No delivery!"

He turned his back to the door and muttered another sentence.

"What did this man say!"

The mood improved inexplicably, just like the inexplicable unhappiness at that time, Jin Haohui didn't want to think about it, and happily jumped over to Zhanchen again.

In fact, he had liked Zhan Chen for a long time at that time, but the two of them were emotionally slow. If they found out earlier, the result might be different later, but the problem is that the person who noticed didn't explain it clearly, and didn't notice it. Some people have been confused, and the authorities are obsessed, perhaps this is the reason.

That year, they were sophomores.

☆, extra

In the golden autumn of October, the annual campus sports meeting kicked off. Although the school management actively called for it, the students were powerless and unintentional. As soon as the project that fell on them was announced, the class immediately exploded. Boiling against the sky, wailing again and again.

"Zhanchen, what did you choose?"

"5000."

Zhanchen replied casually, he didn't care much, but everyone present, no matter men or women, shouted in shock:

"No way, you're going to run 5000 meters. You're making a big joke. What's wrong with Chen Daxiao? You're too unreasonable."

"Little Zhanchen, if you can't run down, tell Mr. Chen and ask him to find someone else."

"It's always targeting you, go, let's reason with him, isn't this clearly a bully?"

The classmates fought for him, but Zhan Chen was calm and didn't respond. That person wanted to see him make a fool of himself and convince him. It wasn't just this time. He refused to let him get what he wanted. up.

Chen Daxiao, a physical education teacher, has a strong physique, is powerful, machismo, and can't stand the weak little boys. He always stares at Zhanchen with squinted eyes in class. He is young, handsome, and has a good personality. Getting along with each other, the classmates in the class took good care of him and treated him as his little brother, but it was a dead end for Chen Daxiao, who didn't let him be safe, thinking of Huaer to find fault with him.

"Zhanchen, what they said is true?"

Jin Haohui came back from the outside, his small eyes were bulging, and he yelled at Zhan Chen with his voice.

"Ah."

Zhan Chen turned his head to the side, and briefly stayed away from the explosive voice.

"I'll change with you, let's go."

Jin Haohui pulled Zhan Chen to go outside, Zhan Chen also followed him, being held by him without making noise, Jin Haohui frowned more and more as he walked.

What's going on, why is this kid so obedient.

In the end, he couldn't stand him anymore, and turned around, wrinkling his face:

"Zhanchen, I really want to change with you, so just promise me."

When he arrived at the small garden, Zhanchen let him go.

"It's between me and him."

"He deliberately wants to punish you. You can only barely pass the annual physical fitness test. How can you run down? That's 5000 meters, not 1200 that you can run through by just pushing through. You can tell the difference."

Jin Haohui said anxiously, without long-term endurance training, it would be very difficult for him to run down, let alone Zhanchen.

"I know, so I'm going to practice every day."

Zhan Chen smiled lightly, but his eyes were firm. Jin Haohui knew that it was useless to say anything, and no one could change what he had already decided.

He was discouraged, feeling aggrieved, and said angrily:

"Someone in the class can run, why you?"

There are few boys in their class, and basically all the boys are forced to participate in a sports meeting. When choosing a project, Zhanchen was called to return the equipment. After returning, there were only 5000 meters left. :

"If you can't, you can find someone to change it for you."

Looking down at him, squinting his eyes and hiding a knife in his smile, he knew that Zhan Chen would not be easily overwhelmed, and he might argue with him again, he just wanted to provoke him, as long as he said no, let him win once , Just ask for a psychological balance.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Chen just nodded, didn't even bother to say a word to him, turned around and left.

Chen Daxiao snorted heavily, and wrote Zhanchen's name on the column of 5000 meters on the spot.

If someone scorns you and says:

"You can not."

If you provoke like this, anyone with a little spirit will raise their eyebrows. Although Zhan Chen is not competitive and has a gentle temper, Jin Haohui knows that he has the integrity of a literati in his bones. He would rather bend than bend. He will not swear at you. He can only reason with you. If he can't even reason, he can only show you in his own way how naive your behavior is.

There are still two weeks before the sports meeting. In the evening, he practiced on the playground, 800,1200,2000, [-], and [-] meters of endurance training, adjusted his heart rate, and pumped time three times a week to improve his lung capacity.

Jin Haohui ran with him, and every time he saw him lying on the ground too tired to get up after running, he wanted to say for him, but as long as Jin Haohui showed such an expression, Zhanchen stood up crookedly and started running again.

"Don't run away, rest for a while."

Jin Haohui pulled him, feeling distressed.

After doing this twice, Jin Haohui didn't dare to say those words anymore, and stayed with him silently.

He is not born with the physique to be able to run long distances at all. In addition, he doesn't usually exercise, and relying on two weeks of intensive training, whether he can persist in running is enough to make people worry.

"Zhanchen, if you find it difficult, don't run anymore, ah."

The day of the sports meeting.

"preparation."

As soon as the gunshots were fired, the contestants were scrambling to be the first, and Zhan Chen was the most eye-catching, running with these tall and capable boys, he was almost gone.After a few laps, someone dropped off and exited. He kept at a constant speed. After Jin Haohui ran with him for one lap, he was stopped by a loud voice. There were 12 and a half laps in total. By the sixth lap, Zhanchen was already unsteady on his feet.

"Zhanchen, don't run away, ah, be obedient."

Jin Haohui saw that his face was as white as a piece of paper, and his breath was dazzled. On the 10th lap, two more people withdrew, and Zhan Chen was last.

"Zhanchen, hold on? There are two and a half laps left."

Jin Haohui gave up. No matter how anxious he was, Zhan Chen would not stop until he ran to the end. Instead of persuading him to stop, he might as well stand in his position and help him.

Chen Daxiao kept looking at him from the rostrum, that thin and small child was very eye-catching, staggered and ran, every step he took seemed to be able to fall, but that step pushed him to run to the next step, repeating over and over again, For him, 10 laps is already the limit. It seems that his consciousness is detached, and his body is relying on willpower to hold on, doing mechanical circular movements.

The 5000-meter race is different from jogging. There is a time limit here. If you want to run faster on the original basis, it is really a head-to-head confrontation of endurance and physical strength.

The corners of Chen Daxiao’s mouth tightened. Is it really too much this time? People who can participate in the 5000-meter long-distance race are excellent players in terms of endurance and physical strength. It is also a little nervous and worried to take such a frail child to such a toss up.

"boom"

In the last lap, Jin Haohui's face was covered with sweat, and his heart was beating wildly. During training, Zhanchen's limit was 9 and a half laps. At that time, he vomited immediately after running, and he was paralyzed for a long time. Two weeks was too short , After running this time, it is definitely torture for him to peel off a layer of skin.

Zhan Chen ran towards him, Jin Haohui wanted to follow him again, stared at him closely, Zhan Chen gave him a sideways glance, Jin Haohui was fixed by that hot gaze, stood still and didn't dare to take a step, and watched helplessly as he struggled from his side Passing by, the sound of his heavy breathing filled his ears.

The students who came to cheer for him were sweating on their foreheads, shouting and cheering emotionally. He had already been exhausted, his mind was empty, his vision was blurred, and the noise of the entire sports field seemed to be cut off. There was only one thing in his heart. The voice is whirling, insisting, the end is not far away, let's run for a while, run for a while.

"Zhanchen"

When he crossed the finish line in one step, Jin Haohui caught him, his palms were covered with cold sweat, and Zhan Chen fell on him weakly. He wanted to help him walk for a while, but his legs were too weak to support him. Jin Haohui could only Hold his waist and let him rest on his own.

Chen Daxiao has been looking at this side nervously. There are examples of students running on the sports field to collapse or even die. When he saw that Zhanchen had the last two laps left, he felt that he was defeated. Without stopping, he stood up in disbelief, took two steps forward without realizing it, this time he was really wrong, he was biased, he thought men should be strong and powerful like him, not like Zhanchen Weakness is protected by others, but his strength lies in his character, tenacity and unyielding. It is not that he needs to be taken care of by others, but that these people are convinced by his character and are willing to take care of him.

"Zhanchen, can we go?"

Jin Haohui asked with concern, Zhan Chen nodded weakly, his lips were pale and pale, and it seemed that he was having difficulty breathing.Jin Haohui helped him to walk slowly towards the lake, but suddenly he broke free and ran to the side, pressing his chest and vomiting violently.

"Zhanchen! Zhanchen!"

Jin Haohui chased up and followed his back, his bloodless face flushed from vomiting, and he felt his heart throbbing and aching. After Zhanchen finished vomiting, he handed him water and helped him wipe the sweat off his face.

"Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Zhan Chen shook his head.

"Fortunately, very tired."

"Don't be so fearless in the future, do you know that you are worried about me to death?"

Jin Haohui pulled Zhan Chen into his arms and hugged him, moaning as if he had lingering fears in his heart, as if he had gone through a difficult test, and if he could replace him, he would be very willing.

At that time, Jin Haohui asked himself a question, was he willing to do anything for him?He helped Zhan Chen up and looked at those clear pupils, which were clean and penetrating, reflecting his wrinkled face because of being too worried. He had never seen such an expression in the mirror every day, and he even doubted that it was true. What is his own face?It seemed that something broke out of the cocoon in an instant, and he smiled a little bit, with a faint bracket and a deep smile.

"what happened?"

Zhan Chen said strangely:

"Didn't I clean my face?

He wanted to reach out and wipe his face.

"It's nothing, I'll help you."

Jin Haohui took his hand and rubbed his fingers lightly on his face, reluctant to let go.

"Not clean yet?"

Zhanchen became more and more strange, and kept looking at him.

"Oh, all right."

Jin Haohui smiled, helped him to walk back, his heart was full of sweetness, he finally understood.

I like you, Zhanchen.

That year, he was a junior.
