blowing clouds

After officially entering the 21st century, technology has not really changed with each passing day. At least in a short period of time, the transformation of people's lives is a long and roundabout process.

The new atmosphere of most people did not come as scheduled. Chen Xiyang felt that time was always short. New Year's Eve, birthdays, and the return of spring to the earth, all of these happened in a step-by-step manner, as if it was a marquee for him to recall the past. When I felt the solidity of stepping on the ground again, the atmosphere in the house was tense.

And the atmosphere is tense.It wasn't because of some family accidents, or because Chen Xiyang was confused and told his true heart, but because Lin Ji wanted to volunteer.

Although for many high school students, the title of college student has somehow lost their childhood aspirations, it is still a major event in their lives.Lu Yan asked Lin Ji to give up living in school and go to school every day, and cooked nutritious meals for him in different ways. Chen Li also put on the reading glasses that he had neglected for a long time, and held thick books to help Lin Ji judge the pros and cons of different schools.

Chen Xiyang seemed to be the only outsider, but he really didn't want to point fingers at Lin Ji on this issue, even if the other party said he couldn't help casting his eyes, he would not give any advice.

Rationally speaking, Chen Xiyang hopes that Lin Ji can go to a farther place, preferably a big city to go to university, because sometimes knowledge and vision are more important than knowledge in books, but emotionally, Chen Xiyang asks himself, maybe he did not do it. Good preparation for Lin Ji to be thousands of miles away from him.

And the old couple didn't come to a unified caliber on the question of how to get closer and how far away. It's not that they couldn't persuade each other, but that they couldn't even make a decision quickly.

In the end, Lin Ji told them calmly: "I want to go to the local normal university."

Lu Yan nodded, then her eyes narrowed, but she nodded again after thinking about it, Chen Li took off her reading glasses seriously: "A Ji, on this issue, I hope you only think about yourself. At home University is certainly convenient, but even if you go to Xinjiang, Hainan, or Mohe, you are still a part of this family, and the distance will not have any effect, and we have your brother to take care of us, so don’t worry.”

Chen Li was worried that Lin Ji would give up a better future for his family.

Lin Ji's face was calm: "I don't like other places, so I'll go to school locally."

Chen Li couldn't be sure that Lin Ji was sincere, but he couldn't prove that he was wronging him, so he could only smile and nod in approval: "Good boy!"

As for Chen Xiyang, who was sitting by the side and seemed to be calm, during the conversation just now, his body seemed to be tied to a rock and fell towards the cliff. Uneasy, as if the ground under his feet would open cracks again at any time.

He silently looked at the scorching sun outside the window, summer is coming, this is the summer of Lin Ji's college entrance examination, and also the summer of his graduation.They are only less than half a year apart, but from this point of view, their fate seems to be far apart.

The sun was extremely hot on the day when he received his graduation certificate. Chen Xiyang felt that the soles of his shoes were as soft as the asphalt road, but even such a hot sun could not make Xu Donghai shut up and rest: "The brothers in the dormitory are all crying, it seems Although we usually talk less, we still have feelings after all.”

Chen Xiyang raised his hand to cover the sun, and said weakly: "They talk less, maybe you took advantage of it."

"Slander..." Xu Donghai made a joke imitating the tone of Hong Kong businessmen on TV, and then flipped through his graduation certificate, narcissistically speechless, "It's still a photo of me when I first entered school, when I was so young ...But it's not bad now, it's a bit more mature man's temperament."

Chen Xiyang sneered: "If there is a straight twig on the road ahead, will you pick it up?"

"Where is it!?" The mature man Xu Donghai immediately looked around.

Hearing the undisguised sarcasm from his relatives, Xu Donghai smiled indifferently and said, "That only means that every man has a martial arts dream in his heart, regardless of his age. By the way, my brother, I will definitely go to that publishing house." If you work in an agency, are you the same? Why don't we send our resume to Mr. Tang in the next two days?"

Chen Xiyang didn't think about other jobs, but he still shook his head: "Let's talk about it in two days. Lin Ji is about to take the college entrance examination, so I have to accompany him for a few days."

"You brothers have such a good relationship. Other people's college entrance examinations are taken by their parents. You are quite responsible as a brother."

Perhaps the speaker had no intention of listening, Chen Xiyang gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked calmly, "Is it weird that I accompany him?"

Xu Donghai looked at him suspiciously: "It's not why you have such a serious expression, as if I want to nod and you won't accompany Ah Ji, it's not like that, it's quite normal..."

Chen Xiyang felt that his IQ was not normal, and his movements of wiping his sweat became irritable: "It's nothing."

From today onwards, I am no longer a student. This fact has not caused any ripples in Chen Xiyang's heart. This complicated and mediocre summer has not allowed him to distance himself from Lin Ji, and there may even be more After contacting the time, he felt that this must be a trap set by the devil.

Chen Li, who just happened to miss his son's college entrance examination, became the most nervous person in the family, completely ignoring the business of the store, wishing to surround Lin Ji from morning to night, racking his brains to help him solve the problems he could think of .Although in fact, doing so would bring unreasonable tension to the other party, which was counterproductive, but Lin Ji seemed to be enjoying it and was in good shape during the final review.

Chen Xiyang quietly looked at the various things at home, how did he spend the summer three years ago?He vaguely remembered that he was very nervous, so nervous that he couldn't sleep all night, but this nervousness was not based on the exams that determined his fate, nor was it because he was about to return to Hong Kong in the arms of his mother, and he was wandering between yearning and resistance. The taste of my father's return.

At that time, Lu Yan's mood should be the same as his, or the type of emotion was stronger, so his college entrance examination seemed to pass lightly.

Looking at Lin Ji's father who kept comforting Lin Ji, Chen Xiyang felt that it happened to him in the past, and a pain that seemed to have nothing to do with this scene emerged in his heart: If he wanted to meet and get acquainted with Lin Ji, the only possibility was to do his brother.Two people who should be strangers, only family affection can connect each other, so there should be no other kind of feelings.

Chen Xiyang shut out his father's concerned voice, and smoked alone in the bedroom. Sweat slid down his nose and wet the cigarette.Thinking about it now, his whole life was a series of tragedies, every step was fixed, and he had no room to resist.

But on the day of the college entrance examination, Chen Xiyang still pressed Chen Li on the sofa, and took Lin Ji to the examination room by himself. Before leaving, Chen Li was nagging that he should not forget to bring his ID card and pen.

Chen Xiyang chartered a taxi in advance. Although the smell of gasoline was still very strong and the cabin was extremely hot, at least there was no direct sunlight, which saved the effort of running.

The driver master babbled a few words of encouragement, and after noticing that the two brothers were not willing to pay attention to him, he shut his mouth embarrassingly. The sound of the roaring engine in the carriage played solo for a while, Lin Ji looked at Chen Xiyang who had been silent all the time : "Brother, I didn't expect you to come and see me off."

Chen Xiyang said calmly: "If I don't send it, can you take the exam with peace of mind?"

As someone who has experienced it, Chen Xiyang seemed too lazy to explain his precautions, and he didn't say any words of blessing or enlightenment, but the act of his company was better than the sum of all words in the world.

Lin Ji smiled silently, and Chen Xiyang also suddenly realized that only in Lin Ji's heart in the world was he the most special. This meaningless feeling inexplicably dispelled some of the gloom in his heart.

When Lin Ji walked into the examination room, Chen Xiyang, like the thousands of parents beside him, locked his eyes on the most important person to him among the bustling crowd.It's just that his eyes are different from other people's eager anticipation, which is a more complicated and thicker emotion.

What was I carrying when I walked into the examination room, and what was Aji carrying at this time?Chen Xiyang suddenly felt that he was ridiculous, and scolded himself insanely in a low voice.

The waiting time is long, but those who choose to stay under the sun will not be impatient. They communicate in twos and threes, tell their difficulties, show off their children, and point out today's society. Strangers gather here for the same reason , but have to embark on a different fate after the end.

"Son, you should be waiting for your younger siblings, right?"

The one who spoke to Chen Xiyang was a woman somewhat similar to Lu Yan, so Chen Xiyang replied with a pleasant face: "Well, my brother."

He actually resisted this title in his heart, because it cut off the possibility of closer intimacy, but facing outsiders at this time, Chen Xiyang seemed to be a little proud when he mentioned Lin Ji, and suddenly he seemed to understand the feelings of those parents up.

The woman looked at Chen Xiyang and liked it very much: "That's great, you can tell at a glance that your brother must be a good-looking talent... There are not many people who are willing to stand here to bask in the sun. You and your brother have a very good relationship, right?"

"Yes," Chen Xiyang smiled lightly, and finally dared to say something to the person he would never see again, "We like each other very much."

The woman babbled again and said something similar to the fact that the only child is spoiled. Chen Xiyang didn't continue to argue, but looked at the closed gate of the examination room, and slowly extended his gaze inside.I don't know if there is such a moment, when they looked at each other without realizing it.

At the end of the exam, Chen Xiyang didn't push forward against the crowd like most of the others, and he hadn't explained to Lin Ji before, but the other party could understand that he would wait for him without words, so Lin Ji purposefully Go straight here.

Chen Xiyang didn't ask him how he did in the exam, but handed him a bottle of water - he just bought it at a nearby store, it was not iced, for fear that Lin Ji would have diarrhea if he drank the cold.

Lin Ji didn't say how he felt, but his calm eyes at least proved that he didn't pass the exam. The first thing he said was: "Brother, it's hotter in the afternoon, so you don't have to wait for me."

Chen Xiyang looked at him, and didn't follow the trend to answer, but changed the topic in another direction: "My parents said they would buy me a mobile phone after I graduate, and I have some money saved, so I'll secretly buy one for you too. "

Lin Ji's eyes lit up: "Brother, is this a reward for the college entrance examination?"

This time Chen Xiyang didn't say anything, but sometimes silence can be regarded as an answer, and the smile on Lin Ji's face was even more cheerful. They walked against the crowd and were squeezed together.
