Tropical Highway

From thousands of kilometers shortened to single digits again, June in the basin is the most beautiful season of the year in his mind, warmer than spring, more sunny, occasional heavy rain at night, but the tide is not unacceptable.

There is a long swing in summer here, and the temperature rises and falls for a while. As long as you are not in ambush, it seems that the temperature may suddenly drop by more than 10 degrees after a heavy rain at any time. Put on the long-sleeved shirts that have not been fully packed to resist the cold wind.At ten o'clock in the morning, the bus didn't even turn on the air conditioner.

After Zhai Lan got out of the car by the back door, he carried his schoolbag with one hand. He took out his mobile phone and took a look. The song playing on the lock screen was called "NightTime".In the clear sky, Zhai Lan stretched her waist and walked into the school gate stepping on the strong rhythm of the drum.

It’s been almost two months, and whenever he has free time, he grabs You Zhen to listen to music—or rather, he catches You Zhen whenever he has free time—he has listened to a lot of various genres, and finally he is no longer a music blind, They listened a lot. The longest time they slept with headphones on, Zhai Lan woke up the next day and found that their listening time was approaching 20 hours.

He almost didn't want to hang up that time, he took a screenshot and put it in his private album with a guilty conscience.

The password uses the date when he met You Zhen, 0115, and his behavior is a bit hypocritical, but the more this is the more he can temporarily put his youthful feelings that have no place to vent.

After listening to the rain all night, he and You Zhen seemed to be back at the beginning, still didn’t add WeChat, but the mobile phone was of the same brand, and Zhai Lan sometimes sent him iMessage, which could include pictures and emoticons, which was not much different from WeChat.

Anyway, You Zhen himself said that his circle of friends is full of store advertisements and commercial copywriting to help promote.

At first I sent the iMessage because I thought that Youzhen was really slow in replying to private messages, but from a certain day he habitually poured out a long speech in a tree hole—the main content was that the children in the village got acquainted and started making troubles, and there was nothing they could do about it——Youzhen actually Within 5 minutes, the content of the same length is returned.

He comforted Zhai Lan, saying don't worry, just be patient, don't tell them too much, do your own job and leave the rest to the professional teacher, you have done a good job...

So many words are not as good as shocking Zhai Lan in almost a second.

He asked, "How did you see the private message today?"

Isn't it normal every three to five days?

You Zhen is very honest: "I turned on the notification reminder, so that when you send a message, there will be a small dot."

Zhai Lan laughed until her stomach ached.

He didn't expect that obsessive-compulsive disorder could be so cruel to him.

So both private messages and iMessages are being sent, and it doesn't matter whether I have WeChat friends or not.Zhai Lan occasionally plays games, but You Zhen doesn't play moba-like mobile games at all. He likes the computer terminal. Zhai Lan joked that he saw the age gap. You Zhen said that you know what experience and operability are.

Then make an appointment, when Zhai Lan returns to Chengdu, he will take Zhai Lan to see the world.

It is now 16 kilometers away.

I said many times "I will find you another day", but it has not been fulfilled so far.

This time it's no wonder You Zhen, Zhai Lan didn't expect that the small experience in Renqing Village could change him so much.

He is not a very sociable character, and his speech is barbed, often not very nice, which will make people have bad associations.Later, there was a huge change, and it was very difficult to adjust his mentality. Zhai Lan managed to control the appearance and looked "normal", and put away all bad emotions, but he couldn't deal with a group of children with excess energy.

Li Feimu taught him a lot, and in less than two months, Zhai Lan followed the school's teachers across the mountains and ridges to fight wits and courage with a group of little bastards who didn't want to go to school.

There was little effect, but Li Feimu said that they should at least finish their work after hearing the word "teacher", with a clear conscience.

Day after day of laughter or anger, warmth and melancholy, Zhai Lan vaguely realized why Li Feimu didn't sign him up for a tour group to experience the magic of nature, but insisted that he stay there.

These are the faint lights that he can't listen to, but can subtly change his flaws.

With the end of Li Feimu's support education life, Zhai Lan returned to the city with him.

Then he made a decision that he hadn't expected half a year ago: to go back to school, request to end the suspension early, and return to campus life. He wanted to try to move forward completely from autism.

The teacher in the academic work group explained that it was not easy to change the procedures. In addition, Zhai Lan hadn’t attended classes for nearly two semesters. It was a trivial matter to score points. He still couldn’t keep up with some compulsory courses, and the credits owed were all have to rebuild.Fortunately, the counselor, Zou Linlin, is a considerate young teacher. She suggested that Zhai Lan attend class first and integrate into the group.

Zhai Lan attended the class of the spring semester of the first grade once. In the past, he might have dismissed this proposal, but this time he chose to accept it and thanked Teacher Zou politely.

"Ready for class." Zhai Lan sent a text message.

After a few seconds, the music fades and disconnects.

You Zhen: Listen carefully.

The days like this lasted for too long, and Zhai Lan wrote "I want to find you after school" and deleted it word by word.

It suddenly occurred to me that I had other plans for today.

Returning to Chengdu is going home, but at the same time it means that he is no longer so free.Although no one can control him in name, it is impossible for the relatives who have a better relationship to let Zhai Lan, a student who is still in college, let him fend for himself.There is no news of my mother for a long time. Now that my father is gone, the closest people to him are Li Feimu's family.

The two families are not far away, Zhai Lan did not go back to school for the time being.My aunt tidied up a separate room and let him go there, but Zhai Lan declined when she said she could, and she began to let Zhai Lan go over for dinner every now and then.

She regarded her poor nephew as another "responsibility", so Zhai Lan couldn't be completely ungrateful.

I had no choice but to wrong myself and put down what I really wanted to do for the time being.

Taking a year off from school is equivalent to repeating a grade.

Now the juniors have turned into students of Zhai Lan, but the dormitory has not yet moved in. Zhai Lan followed the compulsory courses for a few weeks to get back to his study status. cooked.

Dong Cheng is slightly fat, with a rather naive appearance. He wears black-rimmed glasses, so he looks a bit like a national treasure, and his personality is reserved.

From the first class, Zhai Lan keenly felt that this boy who looked like a top student might have a normal relationship with other classmates. Sit in the first row of "intimate" seats.Once, Zhai Lan was called up by the teacher to do a problem. Just after finishing, she sat back in her seat and met Xiao Dong's adoring eyes, which temporarily opened the door of friendship.

Occasionally they meet to have dinner together and discuss issues, and Zhai Lan will form a team with Dong Cheng, who is not very gregarious, to complete group assignments.Because he didn't need to pay too much attention to these things, the small actions made Dong Cheng even more convinced of him as a friend.

When get out of class was over, Dong Cheng picked up his textbook and turned to his deskmate unexpectedly: "Will Zhai Lan go to advanced algebra together?"

Before he could answer, a few people in the back row started snickering first.

"It's over, it's over, I actually took the initiative to talk to someone..."

"Senior is really unlucky to be raped by such a fool—"

"Convinced, bullying honest people?"

Their voices were not low, Dong Cheng could hear them, and his face turned red and white in an instant.Zhai Lan tilted his head, twitched the corner of his mouth mockingly, and then closed his schoolbag as if he hadn't noticed these gossips at all.

"Let's go." He said, smiling friendlyly at Dong Cheng.

The courses of advanced algebra are in the same teaching building but on different floors.When he walked outside the classroom, Dong Cheng didn't go in immediately, the corridor was quieter than the classroom, Zhai Lan followed his footsteps and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Zhai Lan asked Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng seemed to have something hard to say: "They just now..."

"I'm not a primary school student who listens to the wind or the rain." Zhai Lan said half-jokingly.

Dong Cheng was enlightened by his words, and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh for a while, his expression was stiff for a while, and he hesitated for a long time before he could utter a complete sentence: "Zhai Lan, thank you."

Zhai Lan shook his head and gave him a reassuring look.

In fact, he guessed that there might have been conflicts among this group of students, or there might be no reason to isolate and exclude a person, but no matter what, he was not prepared to take the initiative to intervene.If Dong Cheng needed his help to shut those people up, Zhai Lan would be willing to help, provided that Dong Cheng wanted to do it himself.

After all, You Zhen had an impact on him. Many people are helpless, sad, and wronged. They don't need to point fingers. They vomit their bitterness, and they may just want a word of comfort, or just a friendly look.

Remembering You Zhen, Zhai Lan took out his phone and took a look after taking his seat.

The personal homepage of music software, Real Digital World shared a song 20 minutes ago, "Meltin to the Blue" by the Fin band.Zhai Lan moved her fingers slightly, adding to the playlist first.

Opened the private message box and briefly explained what happened just now, Zhai Lan finally asked: "Do you think I did the right thing?"

Real: Teacher Xiaolan is very mature.

Zhai Lan: ...help.

At the end, I typed again: "What are you doing now?"

It took about ten minutes of class before I got You Zhen's reply.

"Wash the cat."

Ah, there is a cow cat in Youzhen's "Holiday", very fat, and when curled up on the scratching board to sleep, it will turn into a perfectly shaped big chicken leg.But he hasn't seen a cat for a long time, and he hardly hears You Zhen mention it.

Zhai Lan glanced at the content of the PPT and basically understood it, and buried her head in the drawer to chat with You Zhen.

"Wash what cat?"

Real: The one I raised doesn’t like bathing

Real: I was caught several times by him again

Real: pissed off

It's hard to imagine him being "pissed off" by the cat, Zhai Lan smiled, Hui Youzhen.

Zhai Lan: Are you there? Look at the cat.

Real: ...

He didn't send any pictures - the music software has this function - You Zhen seemed to be able to ignore it, and sent Zhai Lan a series of combinations of English letters and numbers after a while.

Then he seemed to guess that Zhai Lan would ask, and offered to say, "Wechat, add a friend."

The little hedgehog didn't move, and said, "What do you want to do?"

Real: Come on

Real: Send you cats.

You Zhen's typing and speaking have endings that he can't detect, and there are a lot of modal particles, which are lightly attached to the end of the sentence, like adding detailed footnotes to his emotions, and every ups and downs are fully exposed.

I don't know much about others, but in the chat with Zhai Lan, he always said "Okay", "Join" and "Sleep" naturally.

It's hard to believe it's a 25-year-old socialite.

But the childishness is just right, the soft and sticky modification is not sweet enough, 120 points of gentleness, no matter how depressed you are, you will be temporarily uplifted, and your mood is like wandering in the Milky Way on a white cloud boat, swaying.

Every time You Zhen talks like this, he can't stand it, and he can promise anything.

So imitate him: "Okay."

You Zhen's nickname on WeChat is his real name, and his avatar is the same as most cat owners use his own cow cat Yuzhao. It has a short face and big eyes. It was not cheeky when the photo was taken. It is very cute.He quickly sent a 10-second short video, which cannot be played outside the class, Zhai Lan turned off the sound, and watched how the nimble fat man opened its teeth and claws three times.

DL: So fat.

You Zhen: Yes! ! !

You Zhen: [Picture]

You Zhen: Look at me scratching

The photo was taken outdoors. The sun is clear in early summer, the wind is light white, and the buds of a few clusters of hydrangea beside the wooden fence are swollen. The blue saturation is not high enough, like the first trace of blue sky at dawn.

You Zhen deliberately put his arm in a better light angle to take a picture for him to see. There are a few miserable red and swollen claw marks, pitiful.

DL: It hurts.

You Zhen: When will you help me beat him up?

DL: in a few days

You Zhen: [Sigh]

"Hey, Zhai Lan." The classmates around him leaned towards him slightly, "You're listening to class, why are you laughing?"

Zhai Lan suddenly raised his head, the corners of his mouth were still raised, but he denied it firmly: "No..."

Dong Cheng showed an expression of "I understand".

"Chat with your girlfriend?"

Just about to say "no", but the tip of the tongue was numb, and the two words were swallowed into the throat.

In the end, Zhai Lan murmured "Hmm".
