Ruan Jing was resting at the table in the morning, and the chirping of summer cicadas outside the window leaked in while he was half asleep and half awake, mixed with the vague shouts from the football field not far away.

These are quite disturbing, but more like white noise with a steady volume.

But for nearly half an hour, the rustle of paper bumping against his ears from time to time finally pulled him out of his light summer sleep.

Opening his eyes with a brow full of dryness, he saw huge English black characters on a white background filling his sight, and the drowsiness was slowly driven away.

He was dazed, straightened up, and there was a rattling sound in his ears—the test papers that had buried him slid down from the top of his head, and in a blink of an eye, in front of him, on his knees, on the ground... were all piled up with test papers.

There are enough materials to build a tent.

Ruan Jing was dumbfounded. The attack was too fierce. It's only been noon, and his position has already fallen?

He moved his numb hands, took the test papers on his body to the table, and bent down to pick up the ones that fell on the ground...

Picking up slowly, he noticed that someone was coming from the aisle. Seeing the pair of shoes and familiar steps, he felt a thump in his heart, and then heard the complaints from the students around him—it was Qin Xijue who came to hand out the math test papers up.

Ruan Jing's hand paused, seeing that those feet were almost in front of him, if he straightened up now, he would have to meet him face-to-face... He lay stiffly on the chair, his heart beat a little heavier for no reason, and his chest hurt a little. .

After a few seconds, he decided to continue lying on his stomach and wait for the person to leave before getting up.

So he fumbled slowly on the ground, looking for a needle.

Unexpectedly, it took only a few seconds to hang down, a burst of heat rushed to the head, and then the nasal cavity became hot, and a drop of blood fell on the white test paper.

Ruan Jing was stunned for a moment, unable to continue, he hurriedly grabbed a tissue from the table to cover his nose, and was forced to straighten up.

So he caught up with the person who was handing out the test paper to him.

Qin Xijue's indifferent eyes had just begun to show a wave, and Ruan Jing hurriedly looked away.

The blood had already soaked through the paper towel, and his fingers felt hot. He grabbed the paper towel, left the seat quickly, and went to the bathroom.

Ruan Jing had shallow blood vessels in his nasal cavity since he was a child. He got angry in hot weather, and his work and rest were irregular, so he would have nosebleeds.

But it doesn't matter whether it's early or late... After that day, the first time I met Qin Xijue face to face, it was still such an embarrassing scene.

He watched the clear water under the sun slowly wash away the blood in his palm, and his head became dizzy for a while.

His head was in a daze, and some thoughts that he had tried so hard to suppress these days came out again to cause trouble. He couldn't avoid looking back at Qin Xijue's expression and appearance just now several times...

After slowly turning off the tap, he cleared away those distracting thoughts.

Then he sighed in his heart, and had to admit that his physical condition was a bit poor. It seemed that he had to pay more attention, otherwise he would collapse before the college entrance examination.

Thinking about it, he heard someone running into the door.

Looking back, Sun Qi stood beside him worriedly and looked at him: "Jing, what's the matter, has the bleeding stopped?"

Ruan Jing touched his red nose, then looked at himself in the glasses: "It's okay...it's okay, it's too hot."

Sun Qi breathed calmly: "That's good, I just entered the classroom, and Mr. Qin is busy distributing test papers, let me come and see you..."

Ruan Jing looked at Sun Qi from the mirror and was silent for a few seconds.

When he was with Qin Xijue, Sun Qi didn't know about it, and naturally he didn't know about the breakup.So Sun Qi didn't euphemistically handle Qin Xijue's matter like Lin Bai was entrusted to deliver the medicine, and then told himself.

Hearing that person's worry about him from Sun Qi's unintentional words at this time, he couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.

Sun Qi washed his hands aside: "Hey, speaking of it, you have been studying too hard recently, pay more attention to rest."

But when it came to this, Ruan Jing remembered another thing, which happened to be about Sun Qi.

In the past six months, apart from studying, Ruan Jing spent most of his thoughts on his affairs with Qin Xijue, and paid less attention to what happened around him.

But Sun Qi is not a complicated person. In front of his brothers, his thoughts are written on his face without any defense.

So this month, Ruan Jing discovered that something was wrong with his brother.

In addition to starting to study hard and taking part in physical training more diligently, she often loses her mind when getting along with each other, or likes to be alone in a daze. It seems that there is something unspeakable on her mind.

Ruan Jing glanced at him, and first made a guess: "Old Sun, are you and Shen Wei okay?"

Sun Qi was so shocked that he almost jumped up, and coughed again: "Why do you ask this suddenly, let's study hard now, and don't disturb her at this critical moment."

Ruan Jing understood that it had nothing to do with Shen Wei, so he put his arm on his shoulder, with a serious look: "Did something happen to you recently?"

Sun Qi's smile slowly disappeared when he mentioned Shen Wei, and he looked at Ruan Jing in the mirror, showing some hesitation rarely.

The bathroom was quiet for a few seconds, and the sun on the floor walked unhurriedly.

The class bell rang suddenly, and Sun Qi sighed: "Go back to class first."

Ruan Jing had no choice but to give up.

When Ruan Jing stepped into the classroom door, Qin Xijue raised his head and glanced at him, as if he was checking to see if he was all beards and tails before he looked away.

His heart palpitations as if he was stepping on empty space at that glance, but it has not calmed down for a long time.

until night.

Halfway through the evening self-study, Ruan Jing was immersed in the test papers when Sun Qi in the front row suddenly got up and left his seat.

Evening self-study without class is busy with other things, such actions are not abrupt in the classroom.

Ruan Jing seemed to have sensed it, looked up and saw that Sun Qi was also looking at him, and then walked out through the back door.

Five minutes later, Ruan Jing also left the classroom.

With his trouser pockets in hand, Ruan Jing walked to the roof of the teaching building in three steps at a time.

The lock had already been opened illegally with ease, and he walked in. The night wind blew slowly in front of him, slightly relieving the heat of the summer night.

Sun Qi propped his hands on the guardrail, and the smoke from his fingertips was scattered by the wind.

Ruan Jing leaned over slightly, lying on the guardrail, his forehead hair was gently lifted by the wind, and looked at the sea of ​​lights in the distance with the people around him.

Sun Qi didn't look at him, and a word was carried over by Night Breeze.

"My dad is about to get out of prison."

Ruan Jing opened his eyes wide, turned his head to look at the people around him, and was so shocked that he almost lost his balance.

In his memory, Sun Qi hardly mentioned his family, but now that the shocking words made Ruan Jing suddenly understand that the people who fight with him on weekdays have not had an easy life these years.

Sun Qi regards Ruan Jing and Lin Bai as best brothers, but in fact he has nothing to hide.It was a little difficult to mention this matter, but once it was said, it seemed that it became easier to speak frankly.

Sun Qi grew up with his father, and the relationship between father and son was not very good.Sun's father has a bad temper, and Sun Qi is not at ease. The two often quarrel and get beaten up.

When Sun Qi got older, Father Sun started to stay away from home all night, or disappear for a few days...

Until Sun Qi went to junior high school, went to school one morning, and passed by his father Sun whom he had not seen for a few days, and when he was about to stagger away, his father suddenly called "son", and Sun Qi turned around immediately in surprise. It returned to normal in a second, scolded "Get out of here", and then left on its own.

In Sun Qi's memory, let alone "son", he didn't even have a slightly nicer title.Those unpleasant words during the quarrel had already blocked the ears that wanted to be serious and obedient, so that the two of them hardly communicated in effective language.

The sound of "son" fell on Sun Qi's ears, which was strange and like thunder, so frightened that he dared not ask further, for fear of waking up an unreal dream.

This was the last time Sun Qi saw Papa Sun.

When he came back, he had been taken away by the police.

Over the years, Sun Qi went to the prison many times to visit him, but Father Sun refused.

A rejection is five years.

Not long ago, the prison guard called and told him that Father Sun was going to be released from prison.

After avoiding seeing each other for five years, we meet again after five years.

The bitterness and anxiety in Sun Qi's heart was hard to describe.

Ruan Jing put his arms around his shoulders: "Old Sun, this is a good thing, we will be reunited soon."

Sun Qi's eyes were reddened by the night wind. He glanced at Ruan Jing, slowly put out the cigarette, and nodded.

The door of the roof was pushed open again, Lin Bai was out of breath: "Hey, I'm going, everything has activated the roof meeting room, I can climb this broken staircase..."

Lin Bai ran unsteadily in front of the two of them.

Ruan Jing smiled and put his arms around a person, he looked at Sun Qi: "We will accompany you."

Sun Qi was taken aback for a moment, and after a few seconds, he squeezed the shoulders of the two silently, and nodded silently and solemnly.

The three returned to the classroom, and the first evening self-study had just ended.

Ruan Jing Yefeng drank too much, his mouth was dry, he took the cup from the seat and walked towards the water dispenser.

But the pace of his feet suddenly slowed down—there was always a line for drinking fountains between classes, and among those waiting in line, Qin Xijue stood at the end.

They were all holding their cups and almost walked to the water dispenser, and it was too deliberate to turn around immediately.

Ruan Jing weighed quickly, but couldn't tell whether it was because "even if we broke up, don't be too ugly", or that instinct to get closer had the upper hand—he bit the bullet and walked to the drinking fountain, and stood in line behind Qin Xijue.

He noticed that Qin Xijue's back froze, but there was no other reaction.

Ruan Jing quietly lowered his eyes, and he couldn't help but think about the recent situation of the person in front of him.

Qin Xijue has always been used to being alone. He used to be used to activities with himself in the past, but now that he is back alone, the feeling of detachment from when he first transferred to another school has returned.

He is indifferent and reticent, except for the necessary communication in his studies, he never gets along with him.

Ruan Jing knew in his heart that the suffering of the two was the same, but he had a caring friend who could relieve the suffering, while Qin Xijue was used to handling everything by himself.

After separation, he was the only one left in his world, although he didn't need others.

It's like it's so close at this moment, but thousands of miles away.

Ruan Jing didn't show anything on his face, but unconsciously exerted force on the fingers holding the cup.

Lin Bai ran in from outside the door, and when he ran past Ruan Jing, he patted him on the back: "Brother Jing is here to discuss the itinerary!"

Unexpectedly, the unexpected slap of the hand slapped Ruan Jing who was wandering forward, and stuck his whole body on the back of the person in front.

The familiar but vague smell of laundry soap poured into his breath unexpectedly, making him jerk, and the other party helped him in the confusion.

Ruan Jing said "what the hell" in his heart, hurried back a few steps, bowed his head in embarrassment and quickly apologized, then he didn't drink the water, and walked back to his seat quickly.

He didn't dare to look at Qin Xijue's expression.

The winking Lin Bai didn't know what happened, he was chatting happily, but he didn't notice Ruan Jing's expression was strange.

Ruan Jing snatched the Coke he just bought from Lin Bai's hand, pulled it away in retaliation, and then mercilessly took a few sips.

Lin Bai was aggrieved and stared wide-eyed without knowing it, and thought that Ruan Jing was in a bad mood recently, and his strange behavior was understandable, so he slowly calmed down, and asked worriedly: "There is another bottle that has been hidden for two days. Peach juice, do you still drink it?"

Ruan Jing: "..."

He's completely out of temper.

The countdown to the college entrance examination has entered 30 days.

After frantically preparing for the exam, the anxiety of most people has gradually disappeared. It's not that they have lost their motivation to study, but they have just begun to fall into a kind of calmness of doing their best and obeying fate.

Ruan Jing realized that his physical fitness had begun to decline, and he had already started jogging in the morning.

For half an hour every day, I ran in the community and listened to English listening.

The first few days were extremely difficult, but after getting used to it, I felt refreshed, and my mental state and physical fitness gradually improved.

A special day is approaching in the blink of an eye.

That day, the three of them gathered silently in front of a quiet door.

This road is far away from the urban area, and it is very quiet. The shade of the trees is lush, and the flowers and trees mixed in it have not been trimmed. The layers are as gorgeous as flames, but the sound of cicadas is a bit disturbing.

Sun Qi wanted to light the cigarette in his hand for the third time in his anxiety, but was stopped by Ruan Jing again.

Ruan Jing sat on the steps under the tree, rolled up his trouser legs, and sighed: "Old Sun, stop, I'm almost as nervous as you."

Lin Bai took out a bottle of yogurt from a plastic bag full of snacks and handed it to him: "Take a rest, I'm dizzy from spinning."

Sun Qi took the little yogurt, glanced at the plastic bag, and raised his eyebrows: "Where are you going on an outing?"

Lin Bai said confidently: "You must bring something with you when you meet elders, don't you?"

Ruan Jing stroked the young master's furry head in relief.

Suddenly there was a bang on the door, and the voices under the shade of the tree stopped immediately, and all three stood up.

The huge iron gate just swayed, and a small door opened in the middle. A prison guard came out, turned around, and watched a middle-aged man step out of the threshold, moving very slowly.

Ruan Jing looked at Sun Qi, and saw that he seemed to be nailed to the spot, staring at that side.

Looking at Lin Bai, they knew they were waiting for someone.

The prison guard said something to the middle-aged man. The latter bowed slowly, then turned and walked over.

Sun Qi stood stiffly on the spot, Lin Bai quickly poked him, and whispered, "Hurry up."

Sun Qicai woke up like a dream, his fingers hanging by his side trembled, and he walked towards the person he hadn't seen in five years and didn't say goodbye properly.

The two are getting closer.

Sun Qi's eyes turned red.

When they met, the middle-aged man didn't even look at Sun Qi, and passed him by as if he didn't recognize him.

Sun Qi opened his eyes wide and stopped in place.

Lin Bai touched his head, and whispered to Ruan Jing: "Isn't it a mistake?"

Ruan Jing was also surprised: "Even if I haven't seen you for ten years, you won't admit your mistake."

Sun Qi gritted his teeth, turned around and shouted, "Dad—"

The middle-aged man's indifferent pace stopped, and the numbness on his face cracked. He dropped his bag, turned around and kicked Sun Qi's leg, showing a fierce look: "I won't go away and live your own life!" Is it because I didn’t leave enough money for you!”

Lin Bai was so frightened that he was about to rush forward, but Ruan Jing quickly grabbed him.

The middle-aged man kicked again, mercilessly: "Do you have a brain problem! What are you doing here to recognize the prisoner as your father!"

I haven't shed a tear behind bars for five years, but at this moment, under the gaze of my son who has grown into a young man, his eyes are red.

The prison guard was not in a hurry to leave, he watched the scene with relish, and added a lot of firewood: "Ah, I suddenly remembered those letters you wrote to your son over the years, you refused to send them out, and now they are returned. The original owner..."

Father Sun didn't dare to argue with the police officer, so he stretched out his hand to carry his son and left, for fear that the prison guard would do what he said, and ruin the evil heart he had so hard to carry.

Sun Qi wiped the corners of his eyes, mentioned Father Sun's bag for fear that he might run away, and said hoarsely, "Go home."

Ruan Jing and Lin Bai looked at each other before running over.

Father Sun silently glanced at his little Troublemaker, with an expression of "too troublesome" on his face, and asked, "Have you cooked yet?"

Sun Qi looked a little obedient, but his words sounded like a rebellious son: "Waiting for you to go back and do it..."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he was chased and beaten by Father Sun unabated.

It's been five years, and the boy from back then has also grown taller and his legs have grown, how could he be allowed to catch up.

Fortunately, Father Sun was not in a hurry, his steps startled the fallen leaves, and he laughed and scolded to crush the quiet sunshine on the ground.

The time that has been dusty for five years has flowed again.

Lin Bai happily chased after him, shaking his phone: "Brother Sun! Uncle! I've reserved a seat! Go over and eat now!"

Ruan Jing walked slowly behind, watching the fight in front, suddenly felt that the summer scenery was not as bright as this picture, and his heart seemed to be scalded by the sun, and he felt warm and happy.

Stepping on the soft fallen leaves, walking through the mottled sunlight, I feel relaxed for a long time.

He suddenly had an epiphany.

Before, I was always chasing time non-stop, thinking that if I went faster, I would have more opportunities, so I passed by the scenery worth stopping around one by one.

Whether it's that you didn't slow down to experience it carefully when you were with Qin Xijue, or you forgot to pay attention to the joy of your friends around you.

Fortunately, the latter still has a chance.

The scenery is still good, and the world is worth it.

He understands everything.

It's just that at this moment, the most intense thoughts in my heart can't be restrained...

He really missed Qin Xijue so much, he couldn't bear it at all.
