God said I would meet you

After returning, Lin Jinyu became busy.School will start in a few days, and before that, I have to pass the placement test.

The name of the attached high school is very famous in Shanghai and even in the whole country, and the rate of the first one in the annual news is not too much.There are also various types of classes, such as parallel classes, development classes, science and technology innovation classes, this class and that class.

Lin Jinyu had always been moderately interested in studying, but he still had to cope with the exams. If the grades were too ugly, it would be embarrassing.

These days, his parents seem to be catching up with a big business, and they are busy like a spinning top, because when he went to Liangshan a few days ago, Mrs. Zhou, the nanny who was in charge of cooking, had nothing to do and asked for a month's leave. My son hasn't come back yet, and won't come until the first of next month.

So these days he has been relying on takeout for a living. Occasionally, his parents will order a few dishes to pack after participating in the dinner party, and bring them back to him when he returns home at one or two o'clock or two or three o'clock.

Lin Jinyu was the same as before every day, sleeping until eleven or twelve o'clock, getting up to get something to eat, returning to the room after eating, picking out the books he hadn't touched for a month, and giving him a temporary hug.

He hasn't come back for a month and the room is still very clean. On the wall covered with beige wallpaper is a group of family photos of three people. In most of the photos, Lin Jinyu is still very young. They were taken by Lin Huainan on weekends when he was still teaching at the university. It was taken when they were out and about.

The curtains are a crisp blue with a white sailboat print.His suitcase, music stand, basketball, and a pot of mimosa bought back in junior high school are piled up on the small balcony.

Lin Jinyu lay on his back on the bed with his notebook in his hands and read it. After reading a few pages, he began to feel drowsy... Just when he was half awake and about to fall asleep, his mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly rang A bell rang.

Lin Jinyu was taken aback, and let go of his hand holding the notebook. The hard-shell notebook fell straight on his face, almost knocking his nose down.

"I'll wipe it..." Lin Jinyu got up covering her nose, grabbed the phone, and said, holding back the tears from the pain, "Hello? Who is it!"

On the other end of the phone, a very exaggerated, unbeatable and happy voice said at the decibel level of a Boeing 747: "Whale!!! Are you back!! Come back and play!!"

Lin Jinyu's ears were almost deafened by him, he grinned and took the phone away, and said, "Fuck, keep your voice down, you're deaf, be careful and get caught on Wanping South Road."

(Note: This is a meme, No. 600 Wanping South Road, Shanghai is a local mental hospital.)

"Isn't that your home? You live there all the time, how could I be caught?" Xu Zhao was a little noisy there, and he yelled loudly: "Have you come back yet? Come out as soon as you get out of the sea of ​​suffering. What are you waiting for?" If we don’t come out and report on the military training after a few days of exams, we will have a hard time.”

"I'm reviewing." Lin Jinyu shrugged and clamped the phone, freed up both hands to spread out the notes again, and said, "You don't read, the exam will be in a few days."

"Oh, anyway, if you get in the exam, what are you looking for? Which class you are assigned to is not studying. I don't worry about you being in a hurry." Xu Zhao said, "Hurry up, hurry up and go out, I will wait for you at the old place " At the end, he added a special sentence: "Jia Yao and Shen Lanxi are also here, and you are the only one missing."

Xu Zhao and Huang Jiayao are both Lin Jinyu's best friends. They are in the first class of junior high school, and Shen Lanxi is in the class next door. They were tall and beautiful since they were in elementary school ballet, and they were also admitted to the attached high school. Many people in the school are get to know her.

This guy Xu Zhao got close to her from nowhere, when he came out to play with Lin Jinyu and the others, he likes to find excuses to call her up when he has something to do, and he calls her classmates to play together, and he doesn't say anything if he asks his brothers for help. And metaphor.

Lin Jinyu was bored by herself, and actually wanted to go out and find someone to play with, but for this exam... Lin Jinyu hesitated for three seconds, then closed the notebook: Never mind it, come back tonight and read it again!

……

The old place where they often met was actually next to the attached high school. Lin Jinyu went out and took the subway there, and bought four cups of coco along the way.

When he arrived, everyone had obviously been chatting for a while. Xu Zhao was sitting next to Shen Lanxi, always looking for excuses to talk to her, while Huang Jiayao was sitting on the side wearing glasses. A whole lot of notes.

Lin Jinyu shared the milk tea with them, and Xu Zhao said, "Hey, are you here? Are you finally out of the sea of ​​suffering?"

"Don't mention it," Lin Jinyu said, "It's not interesting to come back."

"Come on," Xu Zhao comforted him, "At least I don't have to stay in that ghostly place where there's no hot water, and I don't have to see that annoying guy."

Lin Jinyu was at a loss: "What kind of annoying guy..."

Huang Jiayao said: "Did you forget? Didn't you post it yourself? He was cursing every day, what's his name, Zhang what?"

"..." Lin Jinyu suddenly remembered that when she first arrived in Liangshan, she was so out of breath and in a hurry, that she posted a [-]-character long article on QQ space to diss Zhang Xinli. The short essay used all kinds of rhetorical techniques. Full of sarcasm and sarcasm, pointing and scolding Huai's ability... Later, he forgot about it when he was playing.

"Uh..." Lin Jinyu said, "Actually..."

"Don't worry, you will never see that Zhang Shi again," Xu Zhao put his arms around his shoulders and said, "It's okay, you will be out of the sea of ​​suffering and will never go back to that poor place again, don't be angry, just go A trip to the zoo is stupid."

"actually, I……"

Xu Zhao said again: "Jiayao still bet with me that you were cursing and the boss didn't want to, but in fact the place wasn't that bad, you got used to it in a few days, bowed your head with the brother over there, and had a great time. Hey. Don’t you think this is nonsense?” He said: “What’s so good about the place where the mud is connected to pig shit, it must be as far away as possible, and there is that idiot who looks down on you, who wants to bow to him, whale Who is it, how could he be subdued so easily, right?"

"What, what, tame the mess?" Lin Jinyu's eyes widened: "Are you playing Pokemon?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry," Xu Zhao made a "stop" gesture: "I know you will not give in, you will fight to the end, don't worry, you will never see that Zhang Shi again in your life, don't worry, we Stop being angry about the past."

Huang Jiayao adjusted his glasses, and said: "I'm talking about reconciliation, not subjugation. Don't change what I mean... even subjugation is normal. They are locals, so living under someone else's roof would not bow their heads."

Lin Jinyu thought about it in his heart, and now his perception of Zhang Xinli is indeed quite different from the beginning.He didn't know if the change was "reconciliation," "submission," or some other nonsense, but it was... different.

Shen Lanxi and Lin Jinyu were just nodding acquaintances and didn't know what happened during the summer vacation, so they asked, "Who, what are you talking about?"

Xu Zhao had been racking his brains to find something to talk to her about, but now he was full of enthusiasm, so he explained to her in detail how Papa Lin forced Lin Jinyu to go to a remote village called Liangshan, how Lin Jinyu would rather die than surrender but In the end, the arm still couldn't twist the thigh. There was a kid named Zhang Moumou in the boarding house, who was an idiot and had no one in his eyes, and how Lin Jinyu had been fighting against him for a month, fighting wits and courage...

Seeing his eloquent expression, Lin Jinyu thought that he was not the one who went to Liangshan for a month, but him.

Over there, Xu Zhao and Shen Lanxi had a heated chat. Huang Jiayao was wearing glasses and drinking milk tea. He took out two earplugs from his school bag and put them in, concentrating on reading his book.Lin Jinyu bit her straw, and saw people coming and going outside the store, and the golden sign attached to the middle school was grand and majestic, that was where he would stay for three years.

……

The grueling placement test is over soon.

Tomorrow, I will go to the military training base to report. Lin Jinyu messed up the papers in the examination room. She was in a bad mood. When she came home, she was listless, lying on the sofa like a boneless one.

There was not even a ghost in the room except him, and he just slumped on the sofa and played with his mobile phone to kill time.

At 09:30 at night, Father Lin and Mother Lin came back together.

When Mother Lin came in, she saw Lin Jinyu slumped on the sofa playing with her mobile phone, and called him, "Hey, Xiaoyu, why are you lying on the sofa and playing with your mobile phone? It hurts your eyes, and you squinted for a while. Sit up!"

Lin Jinyu held up her phone and lay still.

Lin Huainan hung up the briefcase, and said, "Did you hear Mom asked you to get up?"

"I heard it." Lin Jinyu replied, but still didn't move.He doesn't want to move.

"Get up soon after hearing that," Lin Huainan said, "Papa will be angry if you don't listen to me anymore."

Lin Jinyu frowned, and sat up reluctantly: "Is it annoying or not," he said, "I will take care of this and that as soon as I come back."

Lin Huainan said: "What are you talking about? Your mother doesn't care who you care about? It's not that you are not allowed to play, but just tell you to sit up."

Lin Jinyu said: "It's more comfortable for me to play lying down than sitting down. I'm happy."

"Xiaoyu," Lin's mother said, "don't talk back, why did you talk to your father?"

Lin Jinyu thought to herself: How can you speak... speak with your mouth.

"Lying down is more comfortable than sitting."

Lin Huainan frowned: "Is that the point? Why do you like sophistry more and more now?"

Lin Jinyu knew that what his father disliked the most were naughty students. He liked students who were curious, self-motivated, and thoughtful, but he didn't like students who were naughty and refused to admit their mistakes.

Probably the same for my son.

Without saying a word, Lin Jinyu got up and walked into the room.Lin's mother called him from behind: "Where are you going? Are you full for dinner? Mom will make it for you if you are not full."

"I'm already full," Lin Jinyu didn't look back, but said in an obviously displeased tone, "When you come back to make it, you'll starve to death." He entered the room, and slammed the door loudly.

Lin Huainan didn't like cold wars. Lin Jinyu entered the room, and when she closed the door, she heard her father say outside: "Your temper is getting worse. Mom and I are afraid that you will spoil your eyes and make trouble for no reason."

Lin Jinyu lay down on her bed, turned on the air conditioner with a beep, and thought: I've been lying like this all afternoon, and I didn't see any damage to my eyes.

Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, I will go to the school to gather, go to the class to recognize people, listen to a lecture, and then take the school bus to the military training base.This ordered his things and still confiscated them, but Lin Jinyu didn't want to move, he didn't want to do anything other than lie down and breathe.

...I don't know which class I will be assigned to if I pass the exam like this. I won't be able to come back after the military training tomorrow. Will the dormitory of the military training base be divided again...Will I have to deal with many strangers again...Will the instructor be aggressive? ...Will it be very hard...

Lin Jinyu's thoughts were endless, pointing east and west, asking questions one after another.But no one could give him an answer, not even anyone to discuss and diss with him about the tiring and boring activity.

The wind from the air conditioner was a bit cold on her body. Lin Jinyu spread out the small quilt and wrapped it around her body, feeling extremely comfortable wrapped in the quilt with the air conditioner on.

At the door of the room, Mother Lin knocked on the door and asked him to prepare to pack up the accommodation.Lin Jinyu got out of bed and gave her the suitcase on the small balcony. Before she could take out the contents, the clothes and trousers were all ready-made. Before leaving, Zhang Xinli washed them clean and folded them neatly. together.

As soon as Lin Jinyu sent the box out of the room, the door was closed again before the threshold came out.

He heard Lin Huainan's thumping footsteps, followed by a knock on the door.Dad's voice sounded very clear even through the thick door panel: "Mom packs up your things for you, what's your attitude? Do others ask you to do your own things?"

Lin Jinyu didn't ask others to do it, Lin Jinyu thought to herself: I didn't need to pack anything at first, I just added a little something, I just picked it up and left.

Lin Huainan went on to say: "I saw that you performed quite well in the first few days after you came back. You knew you got up early and you knew that you took the book to review and reviewed. It's only been a few days and you're like this again?"

Lin Jinyu remembered that she was not used to being anywhere in the first two days after she came back. There was no barking of cocks and dogs outside the window, no vulgar yelling of those who went to the fields in the morning, and no more Zhang Xinli's nagging voices that harassed him every morning to wake him up. Those voices that used to make him feel extremely boring are actually quite pleasant when he thinks about it now.

He heard his father outside saying that he was "outrageous" and "look at how my brother will not follow suit".

What does it look like, and what does it look like?Lin Jinyu couldn't figure it out.

He thought: I have no brother, I am the only son, I am only one person.

Children and parents quarrel sometimes just because of a little insignificant thing.

There was a slight rubbing sound of the wheels of the suitcase on the log-colored solid wood floor. Mother Lin told Lin Huainan to say a few words before pushing the suitcase away.Then there was the sound of the buckle being opened, probably because the mother opened the box in the living room and began to reset and check the things her son would bring tomorrow.

Lin Jinyu sat on the edge of the bed and flicked on her phone... Brother, brother, brother, brother, it was as if Zhang Xinli was really his own brother.He clicked into the contacts, and swiped to the number he saved on the Liangshan playground... What is this guy doing now, is school starting yet?Will he be scolded by his parents like him?

Thinking about it, his thumb flicked across the dial key in a mysterious way, and then his hand shook... just so accidentally... dialed it? !
