Your cola has changed color

With a light travel bag on his back, Qi Jiu sat on the single sofa in the hotel lobby and looked at his phone.

It was completely dark outside, and the chandelier on the top was particularly dazzling at this moment.

"Fifteenth floor, right, thank you..." Wang Ren took the room card from the front desk, turned back and waved, "Qi Jiu!"

Qi Jiu got up, turned off the phone screen and took the elevator with Wang Ren.

"I have an exam tomorrow morning, why don't I go somewhere tonight and relax?" Wang Ren asked.

"It's almost eight o'clock, where can I go?" Qi Jiu frowned.

"Where are you going? Of course, walk around the streets, have some supper and go on a cruise!" Wang Ren smiled enthusiastically, "Isn't it the first time I have brought out a contestant? You haven't had time to celebrate before entering the semi-finals. "

"There's nothing to celebrate, let's talk about it after the exam." Qi Jiu came out of the elevator.

"Hey!" Wang Ren followed behind and swiped his card, "Look at you, you don't look like a young man, I don't know how good at playing at your age—"

Qi Jiu went straight into the room, which was a standard double suite.The [-]th Middle School may have never had a contestant since its establishment, and it took the initiative to allocate money to arrange a hotel for them to stay.

"Oh, but these days, I always feel that you have changed your image..." Wang Ren dropped his bag and looked at him for a while, then pointed to the corner of his sleeve, "Just this clothes, it doesn't look like what you used to wear."

Qi Jiu was wearing a loose white t-shirt with mid-length sleeves and a pair of beige slacks on his lower body.

"You even remember what the students like to wear?" Qi Jiu finally smiled.

"That's right, I see you more than my daughter, I can recognize you even if you change your phone case!" Wang Ren raised his hand and patted Qi Jiu's shoulder with difficulty, "Go out for a transfer! Let's eat something together Snack, drink some wine by the way..."

Qi Jiu intends to refuse, he is a person who goes to bed on time at 10:30 every day, but at this moment he sees an irresistible longing in Wang Ren's eyes.

"Okay, let's have some wine." Qi Jiu only brought his mobile phone.

"Hey, that's right!" Wang Ren blushed with excitement, "Drink some wine, and make sure all the tension and anxiety are gone. Tomorrow we will pass the exam smoothly..."

Qi Jiu didn't bother to explain to him, so he casually said "OK" before going out.

The "going out for a while" that Wang Ren said didn't exist at all. When he got to the riverside, he went straight to the supper stalls, and he drank beer by a dozen whenever he called out, and he drank it with two or three side dishes.

"At your age, you should take advantage of your youth to be crazy and wild!" Wang Ren has a good capacity for alcohol, and there is no sign of getting drunk when he mixes it with wine. If you engage in a small group all day long, you will imprison your own circle!"

"Brother Wang, why don't you say this today?" Qi Jiu only drank a little beer, "I've heard this thousands of times."

"I know you don't like to hear it. You are like this, and so is Lin Ran." Wang Ren frowned at him, and was silent for a while, "Oh, I remembered... Your clothes look like what Lin Ran likes to wear. .”

Qi Jiu smiled silently, this dress was worn by Lin Ran.

When Lin Ran left, he frantically took away all his clothes from summer to winter. Fortunately, the two were not much different in height and shape, and Qi Jiu's clothes were suitable for Lin Ran.

Summer is turning into autumn now, but autumn comes late in the south, and there are still many passers-by wearing short-sleeved shorts by the river at the end of September.

Wang Ren muttered for a while and simply stopped talking, and the two continued to drink in silence.

Qi Jiu took out his phone, and in the dialog box with Lin Ran was the WeChat message he left for Lin Ran this morning.

- I'm going to the neighboring city with Brother Wang today, and there will be a rematch at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning.

Lin Ran has been away for almost three months, and during this time, the daily contact with Qi Jiu is basically the words "good morning" and "good night".

The time to send "good morning" is very early, and the time to send "good night" is very late. The rest of the time, Lin Ran acts as if he is not in the signal service area. information.

What's more special is that Lin Ran would send him "harassing text messages" every week or so, the content mainly consisted of forced teasing and forced confession.I don't know if Lin Ran did the calculations on purpose, the time of picking is different every time, Qi Jiu called but couldn't find anyone.

Qi Jiu thinks he is calm enough, and during the time when he can't catch anyone, he tries to maintain a regular life and rest as much as possible, and spends a lot of time on physics competitions.

He has always devoted himself to doing things, and when his whole body is buried in the sea of ​​problems, those broken emotions that he has never encountered before and which he does not know how to resolve now all sink to the bottom together.

At times like this, Qi Jiu especially likes the phrase "the questions are endless". As long as the questions are not finished, he won't have the leisure time to dig out the big anxiety in his heart.

"There's still a bit of wind tonight, and it's cool." Wang Ren's voice pulled Qi Jiu back, "How about walking around the river later? The night scene here is quite famous."

"Okay." Qi Jiu continued to drink.

The table next to them was several young people, who looked to be in their teens, and they were chatting so loudly that they piled up a table of food and drink.

"Look, there is a stark contrast to you next door." Wang Ren raised his glass, "If I were you, I might be able to make several friends tonight."

"Then you go." Qi Jiu tilted his head to the left.

"32 is three years old, how can I play it well." Wang Ren laughed nonchalantly, "That's how people are, when they reach the right age, they should do the right things..."

Wang Renxing was finally a little drunk, and what he said was fresher than before; "When I was young, my identity was the most simple, nothing more than a child is a student. The names on the top of my head became more complicated as I walked back, and I had to bear the responsibility. The more things, the more rules and promises we have to abide by..."

"For example, if you are a husband, your wife won't let you drink alcohol?" Qi Jiu laughed.

"Hey, you little chick!" Wang Ren was ruthlessly exposed, and smashed the wine glass on the small table with one hand, "I didn't realize it before, you are quite unpleasant! ... But this is so young like."

Qi Jiu didn't answer any more calls, and the phone finally rang around nine o'clock.

He clicked to read the message Lin Ran had sent him back, and suddenly a hand poked his shoulder from behind.

A happy smile appeared on Wang Ren's face, Qi Jiu turned his head and saw a girl in a black suspender skirt standing behind him.

"Hi." The girl smiled at him awkwardly.

Out of the corner of Qi Jiu's eyes, he glanced at the next table. The people at that table were all looking at this side with great excitement, and some even held up their mobile phones to record.

"I lost the UNO game, and then you understand." The girl looked at him and took a deep breath.

Qi Jiu didn't even nod his head, and the next table started clapping and whistling, causing people from several nearby tables to look this way.

"Little brother, you are really handsome! Can I add you on WeChat!" The girl shouted loudly.

"Okay!" The boys at the next table quickly climbed up on the chairs and applauded, and the girls laughed.

"Thank you." Qi Jiu nodded, "I have a partner."

The subject just replied to him on WeChat very coldly, instead of calling him "Come on for the game", he opened his mouth and asked "Where is my dog?"

The embarrassment on the girl's face lasted for a second, and then she laughed along with the people at the table behind her, and waved her hands, "It's all right, then I wish you happiness."

The people at the next table laughed so hard that they could barely hold their phones.

"Hey..." Wang Ren was also laughing, "You see how fun these things are when you are young."

Qi Jiu sent Lin Ran back to WeChat, put down his phone, "You don't necessarily look old, do you?"

"Actually, I haven't finished what I just said..." Wang Ren took the wine glass and touched Qi Jiu's, "The teacher just wanted to say, no matter how many names you get in the future, you will still be yourself... Be an upright and happy person , more than anything else."

"I know." Qi Jiu touched it with a cup.

During the exchange of wine glasses, Wang Ren said a lot more, some of them were justified, some of them were nonsense.

The skill that Qi Jiu has developed as a student for ten years is to be able to selectively listen to other people's speeches.

It wasn't a night without a reason.

It was early when Du Quan pushed open the door of the dance room, and Lin Ran was already there as usual.

"Come out for breakfast," Du Quan called him at the door, "You must have not eaten breakfast again, right?"

Lin Ran raised her hand to wipe off her sweat, turned her head to look at him, and said nothing at all.

Du Quan frowned, and shouted again: "For breakfast, I bought you millet porridge. It doesn't matter if you add some sugar."

Lin Ran finally had some reaction, but he didn't move his position, "Forget it, you have to digest after eating."

"Lin Ran!" Du Quan roared, "You fucking come out now! We don't welcome you here today!"

Lin Ran glanced at him, picked up the towel silently, and followed Du Quan out of the dance room.

The breakfast was placed on the small coffee table in the living room, next to a simple black sofa, and Lin Ran suddenly felt a little out of breath after sitting down.

He went to touch the phone, and when he turned it on, he found that his hands were shaking, and he had no strength at all.

Du Quan took his phone away with one hand and put it away, "Hurry up and have breakfast, and then look at the phone after eating!"

Lin Ran didn't have the strength to grab it, so he untied the lid of the box containing the millet porridge, and took a sip honestly.

After biting the meat bun that Du Quan handed over, Lin Ran really felt a nausea when his throat touched the oil.

He quickly threw the meat bun down, but he didn't spit it out, but he choked so hard that he burst into tears.

"Hey, let's have some porridge. Take a day off today." Du Quan pushed the millet porridge in front of him.

"No need to rest, I just didn't sleep well." Lin Ran said.

"You have to exhaust yourself to be happy, right?" Du Quan put down the fast food box in his hand and looked straight at him, "I really don't understand why you're so anxious...I told you many times that this kind of thing Take it easy."

Lin Ran lowered his head to drink the porridge, but didn't say a word.

For the past three months, Lin Ran has been very silent, and it's as if Du Quan doesn't recognize him at all.

The Lin Ran in his impression was the kind of young boy who didn't pay attention to anything, and lived his life comfortably and naturally all his life. He really never thought that Lin Ran would look like this now.

Du Quan sighed, "Don't push yourself too hard, just relax properly...Didn't you say that your sister's due date is coming soon? At that time, you should take a vacation and go back and have a look."

Lin Ran responded, and raised her head after a long time, "What time is it?"

"Seven o'clock." Du Quan glanced at his watch.

"There are still two hours left." Lin Ran drank more porridge, and his face finally looked better.

"Two hours for what?" Du Quan asked.

"No," Lin Ran smiled at the moment, "my classmate will participate in the physics competition at nine o'clock."

"The classmate you mentioned is the one who comes and goes." Du Quan looked at him, and suddenly smiled, "You can't learn well, but you really look forward to being a master of others..."

"Yes." Lin Ran showed a very frank expression.

Du Quan only felt that Lin Ran was still Lin Ran at this moment.

"Xueba is just holding a pen in his hand, so I feel very... awesome." Lin Ran thought for a while, and swallowed the word "handsome", "I may be mentally ill."

"Yes," Du Quan breathed a sigh of relief, "Congratulations, you finally found out."

The author has something to say:
