Juliet Tower

When eating in the cafeteria, Han Zhuoyi always sat opposite Qiao Yumian.She obviously doesn't need to take the college entrance examination...

An Jiayu stayed alone in a corner not far from them for a week, and saw his boyfriend often took out a practice question and handed it to the other party, and then was scolded by the girl regardless of whether it was serious or not.

In fact, he really wants to find someone with experience in love to ask for advice. Does it mean that as long as one party proposes to break up, the other party can only passively accept it?

"An Jiayu, do you eat alone? Then let's share the table!"

"I'm full, eat slowly." He didn't look up.

The other party would definitely give him a big roll of the eyes after he left, talking about him being noble and ostentatious, but he was not in the mood to care about this, he couldn't even recall the name of this person, anyway, they would say goodbye soon, No, he added a lot of classmates who only said hello to his WeChat. The names and real people don't match. He is slowly deleting them recently.

Picking up the untouched tray and leaving quickly, An Jiayu went to the supermarket to buy a fresh apple and went to recite the questions in the classroom.

He didn't need to take a nap at first, it was a new habit formed because of Qiao Yumian, but one day when he turned over, he habitually wanted to hug the person next to him, but his arm slapped on the mattress, he woke up startled, My heart was empty together.

Since then, he quickly abandoned this habit and spent a lot of time in the classroom, being the first to arrive at the classroom every day, and dragging the last one before leaving.

The teachers and classmates were all surprised by his hard work in the last month, but he didn't. He just couldn't concentrate in the dormitory.

Every floor and every inch of the wall in that room preserved the traces of Qiao Yumian's stay. When he raised his head, it was the wind chimes he brought back from the sea. Noticing the smell of washing powder used by Qiao Yumian's home, the small blanket that the man was used to wearing was placed at the foot of the bed.

He sent Joe, who was waiting for another owner every day, back home to be taken care of by his father and aunt, out of sight and out of mind.

But in the dead of night, when he was lying alone on the bed that the two had squeezed through, he still couldn't escape the pain in his heart. He knew that many relationships couldn't end well, but Qiao Yumian didn't give him time to prepare.He didn't know what he did wrong, why did the other party allow Han Zhuoyi to intervene in his troubles, but pushed himself away?

He was angry at himself for why he brought up the matter of meeting his parents that day... and comforted himself, Qiao Yumian definitely didn't really want to push him away, it was just that he was too stressed and overwhelmed. Will be reconciled as before.

He is always older and should be magnanimous and considerate.

The day before the college entrance examination, the teachers stopped talking about the questions, but finally emphasized some precautions in the examination room.

When school was over at noon, luxury cars gathered on the road in front of the school gate, Qiao Yumian stood in front of the classroom window and did not leave in a hurry.He casually pressed the cleaning button of the electric water-washing dust-free blackboard, and watched the college entrance examination messages on the blackboard being wiped clean inch by inch.

The past three years have passed so quickly, it seems like it was yesterday that he entered school, and he has not officially left school yet, yet he has already begun to miss it.

I miss the sea of ​​boring and difficult mathematics, physics and chemistry questions, I miss the way from the classroom to the station after school, I miss the roof terrace, I miss the small auditorium, I miss everything that is about to end, the simplicity and the day after day...

"Little Joe."

In the quiet afternoon, the man sat in his seat and put on his glasses again.

Qiao Yumian faced him across a whole classroom of desks and chairs, as expected, she couldn't think about people during the day.He asked calmly, "Aren't you going back?"

"Let's go later, the intersection is blocked, and cars can't come in." An Jiayu smiled and hooked his fingers, as if there had never been any unpleasantness between them, and they were still so relaxed and comfortable.

But Qiao Yumian was only in a daze for a moment, and stood firmly in place without moving: "Come on for the exam tomorrow."

An Jiayu's eyes darkened, she lowered her hand, and gently pinched the ceramic white whale on the zipper of his pencil case to her fingertips: "You too, normal performance is enough. I have always wanted to ask you, but you always hide Which school do I want to go to? Have you decided on your major?"

"...It depends on the situation. They are all about the same, you can go to whichever one you can..." Every time he thinks about the future, he is confused.He was only taught to be the best since he was a child, but no one told him exactly what to live is the best.He has no goals, no preferences, no dreams, and even now he doesn't know what he wants to do. The only clear goal is probably to find a job that is easy to find and easy to make money.

Realistic to lifeless.

Amidst the noise, the sophomore students rushed in with buckets and brooms to clean the classroom.Seeing that there are still two seniors who have not left, I am in a dilemma for a while.

"Senior, we..." The girl panicked looking at the famous senior.

An Jiayu watched them stand awkwardly in place with great interest, and kindly said, "You guys sweep, we'll leave now."

They walked out of the teaching building one after the other.

Qiao Yumian breathed a sigh of relief, An Jiayu didn't ask to send him a ride, but left first with her schoolbag.

He unbuttoned the second button of his short-sleeved shirt and tugged at the neckline, letting fresh air flood into his clothes.It was hard work to keep calm in front of the other party. After going down a few floors, his back was already sweating.

He watched An Jiayu's figure disappear at the school gate, and after confirming that the other party got into the car, and the car disappeared into the distance in an instant, he turned and walked towards the dormitory building.

For the last time, he privately entered this space that meant a lot to him.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, and Joe’s luxurious villa is gone. What he didn’t expect was that the dragonfly, which he thought was dead, actually bloomed not ugly summer flowers this year, which are light blue and purple that are close to white. It seems that An Jia The fish can finally remember to let it drink enough water every day.

He opened his schoolbag, opened the exercise book, took out a photo and put it in the middle of the clean desk.

That was accidentally photographed by Qiao Yumian, and An Jiayu always complained that Joe was biased, saying that the little guy was lecherous and heartless.

But he didn't know that after he fell asleep, Joe would often stay close to his neck for a while. Qiao Yumian met him by accident, so he immediately raised his phone to take a picture of this warm scene.

He pressed the key to the dormitory, which he didn't have the courage to return to An Jiayu in person, on the photo, and left silently.

The moment the door was closed, the latch clicked, and he suddenly felt a numbness in his chest, as if something in his heart was also closed.

The surroundings suddenly darkened, and the cumulonimbus cloud silently covered the sun.

Summer thunderstorms.

It seemed like it was just an ordinary day.

Stepping out of the college entrance examination room, An Jiayu didn't feel any special emotion.

His four years of high school life ended quietly like this.Four years... It seems like nothing is left.

Liberal arts and science subjects were assigned to different test centers. Standing in front of an unfamiliar school, surrounded by graduates and parents crying with joy, he subconsciously took out his phone and wanted to ask Qiao Yumian how he was doing in the test. After typing all the words, he deleted them one by one Lose.Who would ask such a spoiling question at a time like this...

It will be his birthday soon, originally to celebrate his 19 years old and the end of the college entrance examination, and to help him fly to the other side of the ocean to study and practice, An Zhen planned to help him hold a recital.But An Jiayu resolutely refused, one is that she has been too busy preparing for the exam and neglected to practice the piano recently, and the other is that she is not in the mood.

Next week, all senior high school students will clean up the dormitory on the day they return to school to fill in their volunteers. He doesn't need to fill in volunteers, and he doesn't want to engage in meaningless social interactions, so he decides to avoid the large groups and go back early.

"I'm going to go back and clean the refrigerator... Maybe everything in it will be broken in a few days." He explained to his family.

An Zhen travels around all year round, and the most things at home are suitcases.After dinner, he picked up two [-]-inch empty boxes and asked the driver to take him to school.

Their school is not a test center for the college entrance examination, so the second-year seniors are still studying hard in the classroom to prepare for the exam and the final exam.

He dragged his suitcase alone across the campus at night, the dormitory building was empty.

The moment he turned on the light, he was stunned, and the wind chimes that caught his eye first in the past disappeared.

He closed the door behind his back, walked slowly to the desk, flicked off the key that shouldn't be here, and picked up the photo.

There is a line of beautiful regular script on the back:

happy Birthday.

A bright future ahead.

Qiao Yumian seemed to be sure that he would avoid the crowd and come back today.

He glanced at the key reflecting the light and couldn't help laughing.

what is this?farewellDidn't they even say goodbye face to face...

He slowly packed up the sundries in the dormitory, throwing away some and taking away some.

Throw away textbooks and exercise papers, and take away unfinished snacks.Consumables are thrown away and clothes are taken away.Throw away the bottomless toiletries and take away the hair dryer.

Qiao Yumian's favorite sofa bag, worn pajamas, covered blanket, tiger skin cake that is added to the refrigerator every week but hasn't been consumed for a long time...

The moment he threw it away, he was suddenly unwilling.Is this the end?Is he the only one who is so reluctant?He doesn't believe it.He didn't believe that a soft and sensitive person like Qiao Yumian was indifferent to all this.

He rushed out of the campus and reported the address of Qiao Yumian's home to the driver.

He dialed the recited number, the other party hung up, he dialed again, the other party hung up again, repeated three or four times, Qiao Yumian finally gave up.

"Little Qiao. I have something to tell you, in person."

"I... already fell asleep." Qiao Yumian shied away.

An Jiayu opened the door and got out of the car, looked up at the lighted bedroom window on the second floor, and didn't want to just give up: "Just a few words, and I'll leave after I finish."

"..."

The other party was silent for a while, An Jiayu knew that he must have guessed where he was.

But in the blink of an eye, the light went out, and the darkened window represented an unspoken refusal.

"Little Qiao...I have told you many times that I will go to the United States, play the piano and go to school...so don't be angry with me again? I..."

"I'm not angry. An Jiayu...good night." After Qiao Yumian finished speaking, there was only a busy tone on the phone.

The author says:

I'm wrong.
