longing for

After five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was not too hot. After the day's volunteer work, the students got on the bus.

Originally, Xia Yunjiao was supposed to sit with Song Zongyan, but Wen Qiu sat down in the front seat and waved to Song Zongyan. The latter paused, and Xia Yunjiao, who walked a few steps to the back of the carriage, also frowned.

Wen Qiu didn't wait for Song Zongyan to make a choice, he pulled the other party's jacket, and Song Zongyan followed him and sat on the seat next to him.Xia Yunjiao pretended to be angry and glared, and Wen Qiu showed his white teeth in a smile.

No one noticed the small actions of the three of them. The rest of the people were chatting about when the scores would be issued tomorrow.The atmosphere when I left was not as relaxed and happy as when I came.

Song Zongyan was calm, and Wen Qiu became a little curious: "Have you estimated the score?"

He nodded, and readily reported the lowest and highest scores.

Wen Qiu clicked his tongue secretly: "You are so accurate in your estimation."

Song Zongyan sought truth from facts: "Yes."

After a while, seeing that Qiu didn't mention himself, he asked, "What about you?"

"I don't think so. For the first correct language, the multiple-choice questions seem to be wiped out. I'm not in the mood to continue reading." Wen Qiu took out the tangled earphones from his pocket.

Song Zongyan frowned upon hearing this: "All the multiple-choice questions are wrong?"

"Anyway, I'll find out tomorrow." Wen Qiu didn't talk about it anymore, he untied the earphones and stuffed them into his ears, and took off another one before turning on the player, "Do you want it?"

The outstretched hand had sharp bones and slender fingers, which contrasted sharply with the black headphone cable.Song Zongyan's eyes twitched suddenly, remembering that hand quickly doing sign language.

——"Come and love me quickly."

He looked at Wen Qiu's face, but the other party obviously didn't understand why he looked at him, showing a puzzled look.His pupils were bright and his eyes were calm, but Song Zongyan seemed to see a raging dark river inside.

He was obviously not so calm.

If you refuse him not to pick up the earphones, what expression will he show?Will reveal a trace of sadness?Or continue to pretend like nothing happened?

Song Zongyan was startled suddenly, and was startled by what he called "bad" in his heart.

Wen Qiu was really upset, and withdrew his wrist: "It's fine if you don't listen..."

"Thank you." Song Zongyan snatched the earphones from him first.

Wen Qiu paused, then raised his eyebrows.

Listening to music is second, but to enjoy the taste of sharing.

Wen Qiu played with the earphone cable, and asked casually: "Do you want to have dinner together at noon tomorrow? I want to eat hot pot."

When he spoke, he turned his body slightly, and a small half-round box fell out of the pocket of his baseball jacket.Those were the earrings Sun Shilou gave him.

Song Zongyan swept across the half-exposed box, and said "hmm" in the gap between the two songs.

The next morning, the score release time was delayed by two hours. It was close to noon and it was time for dinner. Wen Qiu and Song Zongyan had just left the house. When they heard that they could check their scores, they had no choice but to find an Internet cafe.Of the two of them, only Song Zongyan brought an ID card, so he turned on a computer.There are also graduates who are surfing the Internet, and they are all staring at the screen nervously.

Song Zongyan checked the score first, and the score was outrageously high. Someone on the Internet saw it and exclaimed: "Damn, it's so high!"

So a group of people looked at Xueba curiously, and Song Zongyan was suddenly surrounded.Wen Qiu quit his webpage and began to check his score. He felt that he was not nervous, but his palms holding the mouse couldn't stop sweating.The pages jumped so fast that he saw the numbers before he was even mentally prepared.For a moment, he didn't even think about whether the score was good or bad, or Song Zongyan's voice rang in his ears: "You also did well in the exam."

Wen Qiu's score was much better than he thought, which can be described as an extraordinary performance.They notified the news to their parents first, and then the teacher.Ding Hui patted the table over there: "Come, come, come to my house for dinner now."

Ding Hui is the only one at home, his wife and children are still in the confinement club.When Song Zongyan and Wen Qiu arrived, he was obviously very happy. He patted Song Zongyan on the shoulder first, but he couldn't say anything extra, only one sentence: "The exam is so beautiful!"

Then Wen Qiu was equally pleased: "I didn't disappoint you."

Three people ordered takeaway from the restaurant, and the whole table was covered.Ding Hui didn't want them to drink at first, but he couldn't hold back his joy, so he drank two cans of beer each.

No matter how good the relationship between teachers and students is, there is a layer of estrangement after all. After graduation, they are let go of their hands and feet, but they have a good chat.The three of them ate, drank, talked and laughed until three or four in the afternoon. During this time, Ding Hui's mobile phone kept ringing, all students who came to announce the good news.

The sun was still scorching the ground, Wen Qiu was not used to drinking beer, and Song Zongyan had a poor capacity for alcohol, so the two collapsed on the sofa at Ding Hui's house and took a belated nap.After waking up in the evening, Ding Hui poured them a glass of water and said that he would go to the confinement center to accompany his wife and children later, so they couldn't stay for dinner.

The two children were embarrassed to wait for another meal, so they got up and washed their faces before leaving.Now that the wine is sober, the initial excitement has passed. Before leaving, Ding Hui said: "I will apply for the exam soon. If you have any questions, please contact me." He paused, "But the two of you I usually have my own opinions, and my goals have been set long ago. I don’t think the problem is big, and I probably don’t need anyone’s opinion.”

The city in the evening was surrounded by a layer of orange light, and Wen Qiu's hair was covered with a few spots of light.After he came out of Ding Hui's house, he was surprisingly quiet. He walked all the way to the subway entrance and didn't say anything extra except to buy a bottle of drink.

It wasn't until the two of them were about to take the subway in the opposite direction that Wen Qiu said, "Can't we get out tomorrow? It seems that there is a new movie coming out, which is very popular recently."

What is it to meet every day?Are you in love?

Song Zongyan said: "I will go to my aunt's house in the next few days, and I will be out of town."

"Oh." Wen Qiu nodded, "Then we'll talk about it when you come back."

"Maybe I won't be able to come back until the day I volunteer."

Wen Qiu looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"

When the subway arrived at the station, a gust of wind whizzed past.

Wen Qiu frowned, and shook his hand in front of his eyes: "Hey, hey, talk."

"I really don't have time to go out with you." Song Zongyan said.

Wen Qiu waved his hands, turned around to get on the subway: "Forget it then."

He is not happy.Song Zongyan knew clearly that his throat tightened for a while, his body was faster than his brain, and by the time he realized it, he had already grabbed Wen Qiu's hand.

Wen Qiu turned to look at him, Song Zongyan pursed his lips under his puzzled eyes, and let go of his wrist: "Your scores should be fine in the Beijing schools mentioned earlier."

Wen Qiu opened his eyes slightly.

Song Zongyan felt relaxed when he really said it, as if admitting something was not as difficult as he thought.

When they were good friends, they talked about their ideal schools. Song Zongyan was going to Beijing, and Wen Qiu naturally wanted to be together.It's just that Song Zongyan couldn't understand his implication at that time, but he must understand now.

Now that Song Zongyan took the initiative to say this, perhaps the meaning could not be more obvious. Wen Qiu should have laughed, he should have been excited that he had finally advanced more than half of his "Long March", but the corner of his mouth raised it a few times but he still didn't laugh.

Song Zongyan had something to delay at his aunt's house on the day of applying for the exam. Wen Qiu finished his application in the morning and went to the school in the afternoon, so he happened to miss it.

The newly opened swimming pool near the school has few people because of its remote location.Song Zongyan sent a message to Wen Qiu after reporting his volunteering, and the other party said that he was in the swimming pool about two kilometers away from the north gate of the school.

When Song Zongyan came over, Wen Qiu was coming out of the water.The swimming pool has been open for two days, and there are basically no people.Just now there was a little boy splashing water in the swimming lane beside him, but now he is gone too.So only Wen Qiu was left.

He heard footsteps, and immediately swam to the edge of the pool and emerged from the water.Song Zongyan just managed to stand still, but he slapped him on the bottom of his trousers, imprinting a dark handprint.

"..."

Wen Qiu was obviously a little happy that the prank succeeded: "Is the report over?"

"Yeah." Song Zongyan didn't ask him about applying for the exam, as if he was sure what school the other party would apply for, "When did you come?"

"It's been a while." Wen Qiu avoided his gaze.

In fact, he has been here for a long time, and he didn't go home after finishing his application with Chu Wenxin in the morning, staying in the swimming pool all the time.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to have dinner?" Song Zongyan asked.This time we met, he obviously took the initiative a lot,

"Eat. Wait for me to change clothes." Wen Qiu didn't look at him, but he kicked off the wall of the pool after speaking, his body plunged into the blue water waves as quickly as a white whale, his figure looming.But I lost my strength before I finished swimming back and forth.

"How long have you been swimming?" Song Zongyan frowned, and the skin on Wen Qiu's body was wrinkled.

Wenqiu's leg cramped and throbbed in pain. He gritted his teeth for a long time, let out a long breath, and smiled again: "It's not long. Would you like to come down for a swim? Let's compare."

"It's no match for you." Song Zongyan stood by the pool, "Come up and eat."

The beam of light passing through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows illuminated Wen Qiu's body brilliantly, and even the tips of his hair glistened with water.He stopped in the middle of the swimming lane and panted, panting evenly, bent and smiled, his eyes rippling with the water.

Song Zongyan's heart skipped a beat.

"Okay, come up." Wen Qiu supported the edge of the pool and walked up, his legs were trembling a little, but he stabilized quickly.Song Zongyan gave him a bath towel, he wiped the water from his ears, and suddenly proposed on a whim, "Why don't you accompany me to get your ears pierced before eating."

Song Zongyan was startled.

Wen Qiu's ear bones were very thin, and looked like a layer of transparent crystal under the water light.Song Zongyan watched him turn over and come up from the swimming pool. His naked upper body had smooth lines, and the bones behind his spine pressed against the skin as if they were about to pierce out.The black tattoo then became very conspicuous again.

There will be black earrings in the future.

Wen Qiu walked to the locker room and said, "Wait for me, I'll be fine in a while."

Song Zongyan suddenly felt that the sparkling pool surface in front of him became disturbing.
