to imply

At the beginning of April, the climate slowly starts to warm up, but it is not too hot, so it is the most suitable for traveling.

At nine o'clock, the colorful flower groups of each class gathered on the playground under the leadership of each class teacher.

"I know that you can't hold back your travels for a long time, so I won't say more. Everyone, keep up with the big troops on the road, pay attention to safety, and remember to communicate with the head teacher if you have any problems!" The principal of the third middle school wore sportswear and brought Wearing a baseball cap, with a big belly, he waved his hands excitedly, "Let's go!"

"Wow!!!"

Immediately, the wave of cheers started from the third year of senior high school and progressed to the first year of senior high school, covering the entire playground.

This kind of atmosphere is easily contagious, and Fang Zhi also felt a faint excitement in this atmosphere.

The mountain to be climbed this time is called Old Man Mountain, because there is a natural stone statue on the top of the mountain that looks like an old man with a cane.

As a native of Fang Zhi, Fang Zhi's knowledge of this famous mountain in the province is limited to knowing its name, and he has never climbed it before, so this time he climbed it still felt quite novel.

But obviously, other people didn't think so. Along the way, Fang Zhi's ears never stopped complaining and howling.

"I knew it! The school also said that the location was kept secret, and they wanted to give us a surprise... Oh my god, what a surprise, I climbed this mountain every spring outing every year for six years in elementary school!"

"I can understand mountain climbing, and I can understand climbing this mountain that I'm tired of climbing. What I can't understand is why we have to walk for such a long way?"

From No. [-] Middle School to Laoweng Mountain, the journey is two kilometers long. It is not a long or short distance. It is not tiring to walk there, but you will definitely not have the energy to climb the mountain when you get there.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhm)"

"Heh, I went to Xishan in the first year of high school. The sea of ​​flowers over there is the most beautiful at this time."

"Don't talk about it, anyway, the sophomore in high school is the worst. The second child in the family is not human!"

There are more than 2000 teachers and students in the No. [-] Middle School. It is unrealistic for them all to travel to one place. The school spent a lot of money and arranged several groups to go to various mountains in the city.

"All right, all right, stop yelling! It's so resentful to give you a holiday!"

Zhao Shishi didn't have any makeup on today. She was wearing sportswear and a sun hat. Standing beside the team of Class [-], she blended in perfectly. She didn't look like a married person at all.

"Sister Shishi is so young today!" Someone in the team immediately followed her words and made a joke.

"By the way, when will our sister Shishi not be young anymore?" Jiang An's hoarse loudspeaker followed closely behind.

Zhao Shishi smiled and said, "You are the only mouth that can make me happy."

There was laughter all around.

Fang Zhi also laughed a few times, and then heard Lao Du calling him.

When he turned his head to look at Lao Du, the smile on his face hadn't stopped yet, and Lao Du looked at him squarely.

Obvious astonishment flashed across Lao Du's face, which made Fang Zhi feel quite uncomfortable.He tilted his head and collected his expression.

Lao Du smiled and watched him return to his indifferent eyebrows and eyes in a blink of an eye, and swallowed the sentence "It's good to smile so much": "The semi-finals will be in two weeks. How are you preparing?"

"It's okay." Fang Zhi replied, kicking a small stone carelessly under his feet.

"Every time I ask you, you say it's okay... Originally, this kind of competition in the province is not worth the money. I don't think it's necessary for our school to participate. It's a waste of time. But your students are very good. , Like you, Xu Xie, and our class Xu Dai Yanqing, many of them are students with special potential. The school also has high expectations for you because of this, and wants you to try in all competitions, big and small. It’s kind of like using your class as a publicity campaign.” Lao Du has an occupational disease, and he can’t help nagging when he encounters talented students, “The school has plans from the school, and I, as a teacher, have my own selfish intentions. Yours Mathematics scores are already very good, and there is no need to spend time deliberately on this kind of competition, you should spend more time on English and Chinese, so as not to stumble in these two subjects in the college entrance examination.”

From the beginning of this semester, the teachers of various subjects began to talk about some matters related to the college entrance examination, intentionally or unintentionally reminding them that their high school life is coming to an end.

Fang Zhi was a little stunned that something that once felt so far away was within reach in a blink of an eye.

He never thought about the future, never thought about the future.

The experience at the age of 12 completely changed him. It made him put away his tentacles of exploring the world, made him lose his impulse, and was stuck in the status quo. He only felt that the comfort without rumors at this moment was the best.He gave up on himself, became numb, became cowering, became content with the situation, and muddled along, so much so that he forgot that a boy of his age shouldn't be like this.

A boy of this age should have the courage and fearlessness to step out of comfort, should have ideals in his heart, courage on his shoulders, step on the unknown without shrinking, and not give up when he is confused.

This should be them at the age of 17, fresh and bright, fiercer than the scorching sun.

The large troops walked to the foot of Old Man Mountain and rested on the spot for 15 minutes.

The area in front of the mountain is a large open space with an artificial lake and a few scattered flower beds. The site is empty, which is equivalent to a small park. Many people come here for roller skating on weekends, but it is usually deserted and deserted.

The influx of large troops broke the desolation, the crowd scattered with noise, and the birds jumping in the square fluttered away in shock.

Fang Zhi searched around, wanting to see if there was any place to sit, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Xu Xie pulling He Jing and Yu You, who sneaked in at some point, to sit on the edge of a flower bed near the lake.

He thought of Xu Xie's wild words last night.

"Isn't it up to me to choose any university?"

At that moment, the boy's eyes were brightly illuminated by the overhead light and filled with light.

Fang Zhi pursed his lips, and suddenly wanted to ask him if he had any plans or plans for the future.

Just as he took a small step, his arm was grabbed and pulled aside.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Chen Mushu sitting straddling the stone pier, grinning, holding his wrist with one hand, and patted the empty stone pier beside him tremblingly with one hand: "Brother, sit here sit here."

The action is very similar to recruiting a dog.

Fang Zhi: "...you sit down by yourself."

"Don't, I'm so boring sitting alone." Chen Mushu silently increased his grip on Fang Zhi's wrist, and said earnestly, "Shall we have a game together?"

Fang Zhi was silent for two seconds, finally defeated by his eyes helplessly, took out a tissue and wiped the surface of the stone pier back and forth before sitting down leisurely.

As soon as a game started, Jiang An ran over panting from a distance.

"Give it up, let's move a seat for Dad." Jiang An was tall and big, and consciously took the responsibility of taking care of the weaker students in the class.On the road just now, Yan Qing, the deputy class of their class, a weak girl, has been uncomfortable all the time. Jiang An just watched the whole way, and was behind a large part of the main force, and only now caught up.

"Hey, don't push me down...how is the little queen? Are you okay?" Chen Mushu stared at the phone screen without blinking, and moved his buttocks to the side to give Jiang An half a seat.

Little Queen is Yan Qing's nickname, and it was originally called by Jiang An, probably because she has a heart to be a little queen in the music world.

"It's okay. She said that she was too excited to sleep last night, otherwise it would not be a matter of minutes to walk such a short distance." Jiang An's body was hot, and he sweated all the way, so he took off his jacket and left one inside T-shirt, holding the collar to fan the wind.

Fang Zhi glanced at Jiang An, and casually released a skill: "Put on your clothes, don't catch a cold then."

"Just for a while, it's too hot." Jiang An waved his hands and continued to fan the wind.

Fang Zhi didn't say anything else, and devoted himself to the game.

"Fuck! This wave of pairing friends is too stupid!"

As soon as the gray "defeat" representing failure appeared on the phone screen, Chen Mushu angrily dropped the phone.

As a teammate, Fang Zhi was noncommittal about his anger.He got up and stretched, and saw the crowd gathering not far away, and reminded Chen Mushu who was about to start another game: "We're going to gather."

"So fast." Chen Mushu's soul of Internet addiction was ignited by a game, and he didn't even have the slightest intention to move his butt.

"Okay, okay, let's go." Jiang An kicked his shoes.

Over there, monitor Xu Dai was waving to them, signaling them to go over and gather.

"Hey! Pull me, pull me." Seeing that everyone was about to leave, the internet-addicted teenager immediately reached out and grabbed Jiang An's clothes, stood up with his strength, and followed him step by step.

The large troops were lined up according to the order of the class, and they went up the mountain in a row that was too long to see.

Fang Zhizhui wandered slowly at the end of the fourth class. Compared to the lack of interest of others, he still found it quite interesting to look around.

"What are you looking at?"

Just as Fang Zhi looked away from a clump of small purple wild flowers, Xu Xie's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Xu Xie was following his line of sight to look to the side, close to each other, Fang Zhi was face to face with him as soon as he turned his face.

Sometimes Fang Zhi himself finds it amazing how his body can accept such an almost outrageous approach to a person he has only gradually become acquainted with within a month.

But it's a bit strange and natural, after all, before Xu Xie, no one has squeezed into his world forcefully and proactively like him.

After just exchanging breaths, Xu Xie backed away.

The young man smiled brightly, and gave a doubtful "hmm".

Fang Zhi turned his head to avoid his gaze, pulled down his sleeves to cover the red palms he had pinched just now, and hurriedly replied "nothing".

Xu Xie didn't ask him about his obvious panic, and continued to answer: "Are you tired?"

Old Man Mountain is steep. In fact, it hasn’t been long since we climbed it, but some people have already started to slow down.Fang Zhi went up all the way, and even saw some people hiding in the pavilion built on the side of the mountain road for people to rest and watch TV dramas.

Fang Zhi crawled slowly and was in a good mood, but he wasn't too tired.He shook his head honestly, but he began to care about Xu Xie: "Does your head hurt?"

"...It doesn't hurt." Mr. Xu replied embarrassingly.

In fact, in my impression, I wasn't very drunk last night, and I still knew how to control myself in a daze, at least I didn't confess directly under the influence of alcohol.

But the face that should be lost is still lost.

Forced people to learn to laugh by themselves, and said some inexplicable arrogant words.

The fragmentary memory fragments of last night were skimmed through in his mind, and Mr. Xu vomited out in one breath, full of shame and embarrassment.

Fang Zhi guessed what he was sighing from his complicated and tangled expression, and suddenly wanted to tease him: "Just now, Lao Du told me a little about future plans."

Seeing his serious expression, Xu Xie immediately pulled it out of his memory and echoed him: "How do you say it?"

"My grades are good, I just need to work harder on English and Chinese," Fang Zhi paused, with a sly look in his eyes, "I can choose domestic universities."

Xu Xie stopped talking, his ears were burning with shame, and for a moment he wanted to turn around and run away.

He murmured as if begging for mercy: "I was drunk last night..."

"Well, there's nothing wrong with telling your true thoughts when you're drunk." Fang Zhi didn't know which nerve he had made a mistake, so he accepted it if it didn't work out, and joked along with his words.

Xu Xie's ears were completely swept away by the heat, he even felt the heat start to rise to his head, the moment he ran away rationally, he called Fang Zhi out of nowhere: "Brother..."

This time, Fang Zhi stopped talking.

Xu Xie just remembered that Chen Mushu always called Fang Zhi like this when he was coquettish and begging for forgiveness. The moment he blurted out, he felt strange. Gu Zi walked forward quickly.

There was a little panic in the back, and when he went up the steps, he knocked on the edge of the steps and staggered.

"Hey, slow down."

Xu Xie followed immediately, but was frightened by the young boy who suddenly turned his head and stared at him viciously, and froze in place.

The little boy's eyes widened, and he forced out a sentence through the gap between his teeth: "Don't call me that in the future."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xu Xie to respond, she stomped the ground as if losing her temper, and climbed up on her own.

A sudden gust of wind blew up the hair on the side of the young boy's ears.

The hidden shame was reflected in Xu Xie's eyes through the red ears.

Xu Xie immediately laughed, and caught up with Fang Zhi in a few big strides, and leaned towards him without fear of death, calling him, "Brother, walk carefully."

Fang Zhi ignored him, but silently quickened his pace.

"Brother, don't go so fast."

Xu Xie chased after him unhurriedly, with a smile in his tone that he couldn't suppress.

"..."

"Brother, wait for me."

"..."

"Brother, justify me."

"……Hold!"

The scalding temperature even began to creep up on his face, Fang Zhi couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and took a step, reached out his hand to cover Xu Xie's evil mouth, and at the same time threatened: "I will beat you up again."

Xu Xie wasn't annoyed when she was threatened, but because she covered her mouth, her crooked eyes full of smiles became more eye-catching.

Fang Zhi met his gaze, with his warm breath in his palm, belatedly feeling overly intimate and at a loss what to do.

He let go of his hand pretending to be calm, but his fingers curled up slightly, touching the part of his palm that was sprayed with heat.

Xu Xie accepted it as soon as he saw it, and picked up the topic he said at the beginning: "Why did Lao Du suddenly ask you to talk about future plans?"

"The last math competition will be a rematch in a week, so he just mentioned this."

Fang Zhi lowered his head and walked forward stepping on the sun spots shining through the gaps in the branches of the roadside, Xu Xie swayed behind him.

The young boy probably didn't realize that he had naturally let go of his indifference in front of Xu Xie, and his emotions were so obvious that Xu Xie didn't need to guess from his expression or small movements to feel his confusion. Feeling overwhelmed and irritable.

"Hey! Fang Zhi!"

The young boy wrapped in emotion heard the shout and turned his head, only to realize that Xu Xie had fallen far behind him at some point.

Seen from his angle, Xu Xie's figure is particularly tall, facing the sun, as if born in the sun.

The upward arc of the boy's mouth was wanton and warm: "How about the mountain climbing competition?"
