Juliet Tower

Qiao Yumian took advantage of her lunch break to bring back the pot of dragonflies from Teacher Liu downstairs and put it right under the dusty wind chime.The soil is soaked with water, the winter fat is thick and thin, and flexible new shoots emerge from the lower part of the main branch.

When people look at flowers, they can always see the exuberant vitality to motivate themselves.

As expected, he became an adult without any joy.

"Happy birthday." An Jiayu sent him a voice message in advance before boarding the plane. He was going to New York to take the on-site exam for Julia. A few days ago, he was brooding about missing Qiao Yumian's birthday.

"Take the exam with peace of mind." He was surprised before that the gifted performer who won the award and was soft-handed still needs to pass the exam for admission.An Jiayu said lightly, whoever wants to enter Julia has not won many awards...

Yes, there are many geniuses in this world, and birds of a feather flock together.

It was a week before they met again.

After An Jiayu fed Joe and urged him to take a nap, he nodded and lay down holding his phone but didn't feel sleepy.

He had the cheek to ask for help from all the people he could trust. Li Huijun seemed to know that he was sick, but he didn't understand what the disease was.Qiao Yumian didn't want her to be too mentally burdened, so she coaxed and tricked her into believing that she just had memory problems, and as long as she persisted in taking medicine, she would get better.

He bought a lot of crossword puzzles and put them on the dining table, and he didn't try to refuse Yu Ying's various nutritional products.

An Jiayu sat by the bed, pulled out his mobile phone and put it aside, "I'm sure I won't be able to fall asleep all the time looking at the screen, just close your eyes."

He closed his eyes obediently, but his brain still couldn't stop.Li Huijun's pension is no more than his salary, and almost all of them have to pay for the house. There are four years left on the 20-year mortgage, and the medical insurance does not cover nursing care.

What's more, what he has to worry about now is not only Li Huijun's medical expenses, nursing expenses, but also his own expenses during college.

In the blink of an eye, An Jiayu, who was lying on his side beside him, had fallen asleep.Qiao Yumian turned her head to look at his peaceful and relaxed sleeping face, and the lunch break passed by in a flash.

"...Why are your eyes still so red..." An Jiayu was startled when she woke up, "Did you sleep? You..."

Qiao Yumian smiled, got up and put on her coat: "Let's go, go to class."

"Wait a minute." An Jiayu didn't ask much, but frowned slightly, pressed him on the sofa bag, and took out a bottle of eye drops from the drawer, "Look up."

He opened his eyes wide and raised his head. The artificial tears were not irritating, but he was still stung by An Jiayu's tangled expression when they looked at each other. Recently, his emotions seemed to have infected the other party, and An Jiayu seldom smiled. .

Qiao Yumian has tried his best to control his emotions, he wants to look the same as usual, and prevent An Jiayu from worrying too much about him, but it seems to have failed... He couldn't help being panicked, worried, and even frequently in class Distracted.

An Jiayu stretched out her fingers, wiped away the liquid overflowing from the corner of his eyes, and said softly, "Shut up."

Half a month into school, the third year of senior high school ushered in the first test.

Qiao Yumian had scored 616 for the first time since high school, and he was the first to be called to the office by the head teacher on the day the report card was distributed.Seeing his inexplicable wrong questions, the teachers were full of surprise.

He didn't explain much, he just told the teacher that his mother was sick recently, and he was a little negligent in his studies during the holiday.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a model, and the occasional abnormal performance can be regarded as a wake-up call for you. In the last three months, in fact, everyone is just like you, very tired. So find a way to quickly adjust your state, calm your mind, and don't ask for it. Make a breakthrough, but at least maintain a normal level." The teacher returned the report card of the big diving to him, and patted him on the shoulder to encourage him to cheer up.

In terms of maintaining normal performance, some people never disappoint.Just after class, An Jiayu appeared behind him and wanted to go to the cafeteria with him.

Qiao Yumian glanced at the report card in the other party's hand. That person practiced piano and participated in concerts during the holidays. He also traveled to and from New York a few days ago, so his grades were hardly affected.

"You..." An Jiayu lowered her head, choking on his exam paper full of revised sticky notes. She was really shocked, but she couldn't bear to blame, "Why did you make so many mistakes in your hearing..."

"...was distracted for a while." He has always been close to full marks in English, and five or six points were deducted just for listening. A rare blue sky and white clouds.

I still remember that the round cloud seemed to be sleeping in a ball like Joe.

"It's okay, it's just a matter of getting the bottom line. I'll just go back to the exam next time. Let's go, eat first." An Jiayu folded up his exam paper and put it away calmly.

Qiao Yumian went to the supermarket to buy a sandwich that was not sold out for breakfast, but was snatched away by An Jiayu: "Why are you eating this again..."

Because it is cheap.

Every penny he spends now is squeezing his living space for the next few years.Thinking of this, even my appetite became worse.

But he couldn't say, no matter whether it was a lack of appetite or money, it would be of no benefit for An Jiayu to be anxious with him.

"I want something cold." He pushed back the plate that An Jiayu had brought over, and only took the after-dinner apple from it.

Unexpectedly, at noon the next day, An Jiayu actually appeared at the back door of the classroom with a thermos bucket, dragging him back to the dormitory early.

"Don't you want to eat something cold? My mother has a bad appetite recently. She said it was disgusting to eat supplements, so my aunt made her something light." He opened the luxurious thermos buckets layer by layer, sugar lotus root porridge, cold lettuce, Preserved Egg Tofu and Sauce Beef.

"Did you go home last night?" Qiao Yumian stared blankly at the porridge sprinkled with a layer of dried osmanthus.

"No, I said I wanted to eat, and the driver brought it over just now." An Jiayu said it as a matter of course, and didn't think it was a big deal.

"... Next time, don't bother."

"It's okay. Sleep well after eating, and don't be distracted in class in the afternoon." An Jiayu saw that he was hesitant to move his chopsticks, so he scooped out a large piece of tofu sprinkled with sweet soy sauce with a spoon, and handed it to his mouth, "Open your mouth. I'm stunned." What are you doing, hurry up and eat!"

Qiao Yumian emphasized again: "An Jiayu, don't be so troublesome next time."

Then he started gulping porridge.

The candied lotus root porridge was very sweet, but An Jiayu couldn't taste it, when he saw the frustration and exhaustion in Qiao Yumian's eyes.

Anyone can feel that this person's state is in a mess, whether it is life or study.He originally thought that Qiao Yumian could handle it well, but he didn't expect his grades to be affected so much.

An Jiayu racked his brains to do something for the other party, at least to let him survive the college entrance examination smoothly, but he found that no matter what he did, it was useless, and even self-defeating made the other party even more depressed.

He didn't understand why, and he didn't know what to do so that he wouldn't just watch Qiao Yumian in pain.

Recently, he often feels a sense of panic. The person is clearly in front of him, but he just feels that the other person is getting farther and farther away from him. The sad thing is that he doesn't know at all what is trying to snatch Qiao Yumian away from him.

They each had their own concerns, lying side by side on the bed as usual, shoulders touching shoulders, no one fell asleep.

"An Jiayu. I'm fine. Don't pay too much attention to my affairs, okay?" Qiao Yumian turned her head.

"...How could I not care about your business..." When they looked at each other, An Jiayu could see that he was serious.

He is seriously rejecting himself.

Qiao Yumian didn't sleep well, recently even this dormitory couldn't solve his insomnia.

The moment An Jiayu's phone vibrated, he also woke up.Afraid of disturbing him, the man tiptoed into the bathroom and closed the door behind his back.

But the dormitory was too quiet, so those vague conversations did not escape Qiao Yumian's ears. I don't know if he has to pay attention to Li Huijun's movements recently, and his hearing has become very sensitive.

An Jiayu said casually: "Dad, keep your voice down... Isn't it the same to go out after graduating from a bachelor's degree?"

The spring is bright outside the window.

But Qiao Yumian seemed to hear a thunder.

He walked quietly to the bathroom door.

"There's no reason, but I suddenly don't want to go so far. Where is the piano? It's not playing. I don't worry about you..." Perhaps because she knew she was wrong, An Jiayu hesitated, "Oh, I know, I missed the art. It’s not that the exams are gone. Didn’t Mr. Qiu still say that he was greedy a few days ago, saying that this year’s combination is not as good as my one-handed one-handed... No, Dad, don’t be angry. I just think going abroad is not the only way out. And it's just a suggestion, I'm just asking... hello? hello? tsk..."

When An Jiayu turned the doorknob, she was still careful not to make a sound, and then she gasped in fright from Qiao Yumian who was standing in front of the door: "...you, why did you wake up, and you didn't make a sound, it scared me to death. "

The man showed a smirk that was whitewashing peace, and Qiao Yumian felt a chill in his heart when he saw it: "Are you not going abroad?"

"Ah?" An Jiayu was taken aback, "No, not necessarily, I'm still thinking about it. In fact, it's not bad to stay in China. With my grades and professional level, I can go wherever I want..."

"An Jiayu, are you crazy?"

The cultural background and atmosphere of classical music, the teaching level of Western musical instruments, and the career path after graduation are simply not the same at home and abroad.Others want to go out even if they sharpen their heads, but now he has to give up the offer from the highest school of classical music?What a joke.

Qiao Yumian couldn't help laughing, he stared at An Jiayu's wandering gaze: "Is it because of me?"

"no……"

"why?"

Qiao Yumian still remembered that An Jiayu once teased his mother with him.He said that this woman was a music lunatic through and through. An Jiayu was born in the backstage of a concert, more than half a month premature.When he said that An Zhen could ignore even the labor pains when she was devoted, his tone was very angry and funny, and he was full of pride.

In fact, like his mother, he was also born for music, he was born to be a performer.

But the current An Jiayu, because of him, had the idea to break his own wings.

Qiao Yumian rushed out the door.
