meet you deep sea

On the road, there was a severe traffic jam, the taxi driver lit up his cigarette and complained, and the harsh horn of the car disturbed Lin Shen who was sitting in the taxi at this time.

Lin Shen was paralyzed on the seat, holding his black schoolbag. The white headphone cable hung on the black short sleeve, which was very loose and conspicuous. Hair, lazily raised eyelids, glanced at the scenery outside the car.

Next to the car was a car, the still air was suffocating, Lin Shen frowned and looked at the smoking driver.

The phone vibrated suddenly.

"Lin Shen, have you reached the place yet? Can you find a rental house? I was in a hurry in the morning and my mother didn't have time to see you off. Do you know the way?" A familiar voice came from beside my ear.

Lin Shen looked in front of him, the road was basically paralyzed, and there were traffic policemen waving their arms and blowing yellow whistles in front of them, and the young man sighed softly. "Soon, I'll call you back when we arrive."

The phone hangs up.

"Uncle, stop at the intersection ahead." Lin Shen clicked on the navigation of his mobile phone, and saw that the destination was big. What the hell is this place? Lin Shen has never been here once, and he has lived in this small city for 18 years. In 43, I first learned of a place called No. [-] Zhuangyuan Hutong.

The driver of the car turned the steering wheel, the car moved slowly, and finally stopped.

Lin Shen's patience has been completely exhausted.

This is early summer in June, and the air is a bit muggy. It is a rare cloudy day and the sun cannot be seen. It seems that it is going to rain.

Lin Shen was standing in front of a restaurant called Zai Zai Di Guo Ji, holding his suitcase, holding his mobile phone, and looking around in confusion.

So, where is Zhuangyuan Hutong?

He clicked on the navigation and searched for No. [-] Middle School. No. [-] Middle School is a key high school, which is on par with No. [-] Middle School where Lin Shen was in before, and the two are two key high school giants who have always been incompatible.Although it is a small town, the number of famous college students who go out of the two schools every year should not be underestimated.

Lin Shen looked at the address his mother sent him: No. 43 Zhuangyuan Hutong near No. [-] Middle School.

So Lin Shen slowly dragged his suitcase forward, and his eyes were full of strangers.

"Hi." A call came in.

"Hello, Brother Shen? No, you don't really want to come for another year, do you?" It was Lin Shen's friend, Zhou Xun, who called.

"En." Lin Shen answered the phone indifferently while looking around to find some messy alley.

"The score of 211 is not low, step on [-] and go first, if not, let's take the postgraduate entrance examination, why come for another year?" Zhou Xun just got the news that his good brother plans to repeat, and he feels sorry for his brother from the bottom of his heart .

"Zhou Xun, I've made up my mind, there's no need to persuade me." Finally, Lin Shen stopped at the entrance of an alleyway.

"Brother Shen, I know you don't think much of your test score, but it's better than nothing,...the news went crazy in the whole No. [-] Middle School."

The No. [-] grader in No. [-] Middle School, the future No. [-] scholar in the city, failed the college entrance examination because of mistakes.

"They can read the jokes if they want to. Don't worry." Lin Shen said in a soft voice, as if holding back something. "Wait a little longer, after a year, I will go find you."

Hope it's not too late.

A sigh came from the phone.

"Beep beep..." Lin Shen hung up the phone.

Strange pictures from all directions entered Lin Shen's brain, and he processed the information quickly.

Breakfast food stalls are blocked at the intersection of the alley, selling burritos, tofu nao... people coming and going are sitting on the small table next to the stall, lying on the table to drink a bowl of hot porridge, some women bring Looking after the children, some grandpas who came back from playing with birds, and some students who were in a hurry to go to the remedial class, passed by the small stall and took away a burrito.

Standing beside them, Lin Shen seemed like a discordant outsider. At this time, he took off the earphones, but in fact nothing was playing in them. The noisy yelling and children's crying seemed to be amplified even more.

Lin Shen looked up, and there was a blue number plate hanging on the nearby wall, with the words clearly written on it.

No. 001 Zhuangyuan Hutong.

"Hey, young man, step aside." A middle-aged uncle stood behind Lin Shen holding a bowl of wontons.

Lin Shen was slightly stunned, and silently stood aside while dragging his suitcase, which was in the way.

The young man stood in a small corner, squatted down, looked at his mobile phone, and swiped the screen for a long time. The icon of No. [-] Middle School still remained unchanged, and here was the champion alley he was looking for.

Hold.Lin Shen turned off the phone screen in despair, got up again, and dragged his suitcase.

Like a traveler who finds a place to stay, restless and confused.

The smell of various breakfasts filling the nostrils is not very pleasant, and there are also some strange smells that Lin Shen can't describe. It's a bit like the old-fashioned feeling when going back to grandma's house when I was a child.

The black and white letters of the rental notices are plastered all over the wall, interspersed with colorful tutoring class advertisements.

——99 days will take you to counterattack the college entrance examination!

——Pyramid education, your child embarks on the road of [-]!

Lin Shen was speechless. He tore a few sheets and put them in his bag. These deceitful things should not be kept to harm others, Lin Shen thought.

Go ahead and take a walk, it seems that everything slowly starts to become quiet.

A gust of cold wind blew, Lin Shen looked up at the house number.

This place is full of small houses. The combination of several houses should form a small courtyard. The gate of the courtyard is a big red door, and there are door pairs posted on it. Lin Shen glanced roughly, and the words on the title of the gold list appeared very frequently. .

Lin Shen stopped in front of No. 42 because he couldn't find No. 43.

Lin Shen stared at the blue number plate No. 42, hesitated, and suddenly heard a strange sound of water.

Looking to the side, there was a boy squatting in front of another big red door.

He was wearing a red flamboyant sweater, black ripped trousers, and silver hair. He looked like a bad and rebellious boy. At this time, he was squatting by the gate, holding a toothbrushing cup in one hand, and was randomly shoveling a toothbrush into his mouth with the other. After rubbing, he spat white foam on the ground, then rinsed his mouth, and spit the waste water towards Lin Shen.

Lin Shen instinctively took a step back, but luckily he almost missed it, otherwise Lin Shen would beat him up the next second if the splash splashed on his little white shoes.

The young man got up and glanced at Lin Shen, Lin Shen had already felt his disdainful gaze.

The boy in the red sweater is very tall. Lin Shen guessed that he is almost 1.9 meters tall. He looks like a sports student in school, and he is the kind that many girls like, because he is not ugly, but rather handsome.

This is Lin Shen's true first impression of the boy.

Then, the quality looks a bit poor.Lin Shen looked at the concrete floor where he had brushed his teeth, the traces of water flowing were very annoying.

The boy opened the door and turned around to go in.Only then did Lin Shen find out.

The number 43 sign was actually placed under the door, and the boy squatted down to cover it.

And the door that the boy entered was the big red door at No. 43.

Lin Shen looked at the blue number plate, No. 43, Zhuangyuan Hutong, and it was here.

So he dragged his suitcase, followed the young man and slowly entered the door.

Lin Shen's mind flashed through the shared houses that often appear in movies. They are crowded, one room is connected to another, and all the tenants live in it. This feeling is very subtle.

The creepers were clinging to the walls densely, making the whole building look a bit desolate.

The boy in the red sweater in front of him seemed to be very familiar with this place. He walked straight in and came to a small iron door. He opened the door naturally and entered the house.

After a while, Lin Shen felt the iron door of a room next to him move. It was the room that the boy in the red sweater had entered just now.

The sound of friction between jerky metals was very ear-piercing, and the prolonged sharp sound caught Lin Shen's attention again.

The boy in the red sweater came out from inside, holding a large cardboard in his hand, which looked like it was cut out of an old shoe box, and on it was written a few large distorted characters with a fluorescent green pen.

Lin Shen frowned and stared at it carefully for a long time before he realized what was written on the cardboard.

Welcome Lin Shen~

At the back, I painted a small flower very carefully, which is also the color of fluorescent green.

It's fucking ugly.Lin Shen resisted the urge to tear it off directly.

"Are you here to pick me up?" Lin Shen's tone was very unfriendly. This was the first time he had spoken to a stranger since he entered the yard.

"Otherwise, are you blind?" The boy in the red sweater said in a tone that did not want to be beaten, and then he casually threw the cardboard to the side, as if the cardboard had no value anymore, it was like discarded garbage.

Lin Shen felt more and more elusive about the person in front of him.

"Welcome, greeting." The boy took out a cola-flavored lollipop from nowhere and handed it to Lin Shen.

Lin Shen took it hesitantly, and looked at the boy's face, which seemed familiar.

He didn't think too much, and blurted out: "I seem to have seen you somewhere."

The young man was slightly stunned, and suddenly laughed, like a fool, no, in Lin Shen's eyes, he is just a fool now.

"Where did you learn such a cliche approach? Jia Baoyu taught you?"

"..."

The young man coughed, and then returned to seriousness: "Of course you have seen me, we fought against each other in the math competition."

Oh fuck.Lin Shen was in a bad mood.

This fucking is Chu Jing, that genius in No. [-] Middle School!

"The elementary school bully from No. [-] Middle School?" Chu Jing had a hint of sarcasm in it.

Lin Shen took the candy, feeling a little dazed.

A genius student of the No. [-] Middle School, and a No. [-] student in the No. [-] Middle School.

How could we meet in this dead end?
