Go to my home and do your homework

This is the most hesitant bifurcation in the lives of Song Ye and Qu Liaoyuan so far.

After going through the turmoil of only the two of them, the two of them examined and determined their own and each other's hearts like adults for the first time.

The spring of 2009 was astonishingly short. In March, it was still snowing with peach blossoms, and the temperature in mid-April was like early summer.

On the Friday after the model, Song Ye and Qu Liaoyuan changed into unlined clothes and trousers, took half a day off, took the Harmony early in the morning, and set off for the provincial capital to visit Song Zhiguo.

Visitation is not permitted on weekends and holidays in the prison.This is the last time before the college entrance examination, and they don't have time to come again until the exam is over in June.

Qu Liaoyuan drank milk for more than a year, hangs on the horizontal bar when he has nothing to do, and often builds human arch bridges. He finally grew taller as he wished, just 1.8 meters, which is still a few centimeters behind Song Ye, and he is quite satisfied.

Only in this way, it is even more impossible for him to sneak in with Song Ye as a child to watch Song Zhiguo, so he can only watch the bag outside and wait for Song Ye to come out.

"Don't tell Uncle Song," he said to Song Ye who was about to go in, "don't tell him that I'm coming too."

Song Ye was puzzled, "Why?"

Qu Liaoyuan said: "Anyway, don't say it."

"You?" Song Ye thought for a while and asked, "Do you not like him anymore?"

Qu Liaoyuan said awkwardly: "No."

Song Ye touched his head like an older brother, and said, "It's okay, I don't like him either."

He was waiting outside by himself, and met the elder brother of the prison guard who had seen him a few times. The elder brother remembered that he was about to take the college entrance examination, so he asked about their grades.

"Just after a model, I am over 670," he said, "My brother is over 700."

The eldest brother was surprised: "More than 700? Talent, I have never seen a living person who can pass more than 700!"

Qu Liaoyuan was a little proud, and said with a smile: "It's just bare marks, and he can still get extra points in the college entrance examination. There are not many students in the province who are rated as three good students in the province."

Brother: "Then this will definitely be able to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University."

Qu Liaoyuan said: "Yes, but he wants to go to Hong Kong to study, and he also wants to go abroad for further studies in the future."

"Hong Kong is good, it's good to go abroad, go and learn all the advanced knowledge of capitalism." The eldest brother also chatted casually, imitating Ge You's talk in A World Without Thieves, and said, "What is the most expensive in the 21st century? Talent! The whole world There is a shortage of talents, and it will be bad for the imperialists to keep him with high salaries, so don’t be dazzled by the evil capitalist world.”

Qu Liaoyuan sat up straight and said, "No, he will definitely come back."

"He asked me to say hello." Song Ye sat across from his father and said, "He's grown taller again, so they won't let him in."

"Have you got the results? How is it?" Song Zhiguo asked.

"It's okay." Song Ye lowered his head, scratching the barb on his thumb with the nail of his index finger.

Song Zhiguo sensed his resistance to him and knew that it was impossible for him to do too badly in the exam, so he asked, "What about Liaoyuan? How is he?"

Song Ye replied: "He is also passable, with a total score of 670 four."

"Six hundred and seven," Song Zhiguo frowned, and said, "If you want to be admitted to Guanghua College, your score is not stable, and you will probably be adjusted."

Song Ye raised his head, with a bit of resentment towards his father in his eyes, and said, "He won't be admitted to Peking University, but he will be admitted to Public Security University."

Song Zhiguo: "...what's the situation?"

"It's nothing, he just likes himself and wants to maintain world peace." Song Ye continued, "At the end of April, the Hong Kong Congress will open online applications, and I will fill out the form online."

Song Zhiguo was surprised for a moment, and then smiled a little. He felt a little relieved that Song Ye would make this decision, and was willing to temporarily separate from Qu Liaoyuan. wide.

"Then," he asked cryptically about their relationship, "you two?"

"The college entrance examination first, and if you pass the exam, you can go to school," Song Ye said, "Let's try first and see."

Song Zhiguo: "??? Try?"

Song Ye said with a bored face: "No, you can drop out of school, at worst, go back to school for another year."

Song Zhiguo: "..."

This is the "regret medicine" that Song Ye had thought of earlier.

At that time, he hadn't decided where he was going, he just wanted to leave a way out for Qu Liaoyuan.If Qu Liaoyuan found that he didn't like the environment after he entered the police academy, no matter whether Song Ye was in Tsinghua University or where, he would be willing to accompany Qu Liaoyuan back to study for another year and take the college entrance examination again.Otherwise, relying on Qu Liaoyuan's self-care ability and self-consciousness, it would be difficult for a person to survive the repeat year smoothly, and it would be more difficult to maintain the original excellent grades.

But the time and cost of this idea were borne by the two of them together, and he was of course unwilling to tell Qu Liaoyuan if he hadn't reached that point.

But I chose to tell my father, and it was inevitable that there was a little bit of resentment and venting emotions.

"It's really nonsense... It's like something you can do." Song Zhiguo commented on his son helplessly and embarrassingly, and said, "Song Ye, don't put me on your hostile side, I am not against you In love, I just hope that you can go to farther places to find out that there are more possibilities in the future. It’s not that you can see the end at a glance when you’re only eighteen or nineteen years old. I’m surprised that Xiao Quer wants to take the OUHK exam , but this at least shows that he is more like a young man than you, although he is a bit naive..."

Song Ye immediately said: "Don't talk about him, he is very good."

"I didn't say he was bad, you don't have to react so much." Song Zhiguo shook his head and smiled, then changed the subject and asked, "Is the house sold?"

Song Ye said: "I entrusted it to an intermediary to sell it. The location is good and it is very popular. It should be sold soon."

"That's good." Song Zhiguo said.

There was a moment of silence between the two.

Song Zhiguo said, "Don't be too sad."

Song Ye raised his hand to cover his eyes, and said, "Dad, is life always so painful, or is it only like this when you were young?"

"It's always like this." Song Zhiguo said, "Are you afraid?"

Song Ye took a few deep breaths, put down his hands, and said, "I don't."

Outside the window of the high-speed train going home, the spring breeze is ten li, and the mountain flowers are blooming.

Qu Liaoyuan flipped through the brochure on the train, which introduced the working principle of the bullet train and the development status of the high-speed railway.

"Our country is getting more and more powerful." He said with emotion.

Song Ye took the snack pack and water from the conductor and asked him, "Do you want to eat? You don't have to take it when you get off the train."

"I don't want to eat. I'll be there in a while. Put it in your bag and don't throw it away." Qu Liaoyuan closed the booklet, his eyes were a little furtive.

Song Ye squinted at him and said, "What are you doing? Just say something."

Qu Liaoyuan turned the booklet in his hand and said, "In the future, if you study abroad, do you still want to come back to build the motherland? Just like Qian Xuesen."

Song Ye: "..."

"I'm just chatting casually." Qu Liaoyuan felt that it was too early to ask this question, but he still couldn't help but want to say, "You see, our country is developing very well now. Last year's Beijing Olympics was held very well. Now the high-speed railway Also, a few days ago the news said that the Jiaolong manned deep submersible will be officially tested under the sea in summer... I think it’s better for you to come back in the future, otherwise I will always go abroad to see you, and go for a plane ticket It's all expensive."

After talking for a long time, the last sentence is the key point.

Song Ye laughed angrily at his thoughts, and said, "Look at me? What do you see me doing? If I stay abroad, I will definitely get married there."

"It's rare for you to come here," Qu Liaoyuan said with a smile, "I won't live abroad, who will you marry?"

Song Ye said, "I'm with others, can't I?"

Qu Liaoyuan said: "Okay, okay, okay, you can marry someone else, marry a foreign girl, give birth to a little half-breed, and the child has to call me uncle."

Song Ye: "..."

"You won't marry someone else, you love me so much," Qu Liaoyuan whispered, afraid of being heard by other passengers, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Song Ye said unhappily: "It's hard to say now, after being separated for several years, how do you know that I won't change my mind?"

Qu Liaoyuan said a little proudly, "I just know."

Song Ye wanted to push him on the seat and beat him up.

Ever since the two agreed to apply for their respective volunteers, after the first few days of depression, before Song Ye recovered, Qu Liaoyuan had returned to his heartless and happy high school appearance.

He also learned the method taught by Song Ye, and checked the application process of the University of Hong Kong on the Internet, when to apply, when to interview, where to interview, what documents to prepare... He also made a detailed note of everything.

I was afraid that Song Ye would not pass the exam or go to the University of Hong Kong.

Song Ye was secretly angry while slandering, and at the same time, he also helped Qu Liaoyuan to learn about various majors of OUHK. Director Zhao Changlin gave a contact information, it was a boy who went to OUHK from No. [-] middle school in the previous class, and he made a phone call Finally, adding the other party's QQ, the senior introduced the basic situation of OUHK to them very enthusiastically.

What Qu Liaoyuan cared about was the study and life after enrollment, whether it was full of the sense of ritual of the disciplined army as he imagined.

As for the understanding of different majors and the consultation of school employment arrangements, it all depends on Song Ye's attention. Qu Liaoyuan doesn't care much about these at all. He believes that as long as he studies hard, he will naturally enter the police force after graduation. After all, this is China. The best public security academy, can it still be unemployed?

The second mock exam before the college entrance examination happened to separate their 19th birthdays.

On Song Ye's birthday, Qu Liaoyuan originally had other ideas and secretly planned, wanting Song Ye to go out of school with him for extracurricular activities.

As a result, the weather was not good, and it rained that day, so I couldn't borrow the card and couldn't go out.

He was depressed for a long time, and he couldn't go anyway, so he simply didn't tell Song Ye, and only gave Song Ye a handmade greeting card, which was much more beautiful than the one he made last year. He also wrote well and copied it. A few sentences of chicken soup for the soul, and the concluding remarks: [I wish Song Ye a happy birthday, and the title of the gold list].

Song Ye: ...What a ghost.

Six days later, the day after the second-model exam was over, it was Qu Liaoyuan's birthday.

From the day of evening self-study after the exam, Qu Liaoyuan began to look forward to what birthday present Song Ye would give him.Sure enough, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Song Yeshu sent him a text message, telling him to go to the corridor.

His birthday present at the age of 19 was a kindle e-reader.

"Did you buy it online?" He was surprised that Song Ye would give him this. Some time ago when he and Song Ye were surfing the Internet together, he saw an advertisement for Kindle on the webpage. At that time, he said that he would buy one for Song Ye when he had money. , saving Song Ye the inconvenience of carrying a large pile of books.This thing is obviously more suitable for Song Ye who loves to read.

Song Ye said: "Don't you like it?"

"I like it." Qu Liaoyuan was not willing to use this, said, "It's just that I wasted it. This thing is quite expensive, so I'd better give it to you."

Song Ye was dissatisfied: "My brother just sent you off, and you are going to return it?"

"No, no," Qu Liaoyuan said, "I didn't give you anything for your birthday a few days ago, so this is for you, okay?"

Song Ye took out another kindle that had been unpacked, and said, "Look, my brother has it too, and we are a couple."

"No, do you want to make a pair too?" Qu Liaoyuan said in a puzzled manner, "I think you just want to spend money."

Song Ye: "... What's your opinion?"

Qu Liaoyuan had no objection.

He took a closer look at the brand new kindle under the voice-activated light.In fact, he still likes it very much. He loves reading more now than before. Occasionally, he will read the masterpieces or biographies that Song Ye has finished reading. , discuss it.

Reading itself is actually a technical job, not just understanding the text. There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers.Song Ye is a person who is very good at reading, and he can see many Hamlets by himself.In addition to the book itself, whenever Qu Liaoyuan asked to discuss, he would tell Qu Liaoyuan something derived from the content of the book itself.

Every time, Qu Liaoyuan felt as if he had read a fake book, and then felt that reading is really interesting.

There was still a card inside the box, Qu Liaoyuan wanted to open it to have a look.

But Song Ye stopped him and said, "Go back and see."

Qu Liaoyuan didn't open it, took the Kindle with the box, hugged it baby in his arms, and said, "Give me a kiss, and we'll go back to sleep."

Back in the dormitory, he looked at the birthday card with the faint light of the phone screen.

Song Ye wrote on the card——

[Wish my Qu'er, happy birthday.

When your brother is not by your side, you should study hard. 】

Qu Liaoyuan read the card several times, carefully put it back into the box, and put it next to the pillow.

Then he pulled up the quilt to cover his head, and fell asleep while weeping quietly.
