Chapter 56 Chapter 55 Four Characters, Two People (No.298 - No.303)

It was nearly Christmas when I got back to class. There was no movement in this year's Christmas class. At this time last year, we were still enthusiastically preparing for the New Year's Day party, and we were filled with righteous indignation because Class Nine followed us to hold a masquerade ball.I still remember that Xu Yanliang appeared at the party wearing a Zhu Bajie mask, but β asked him calmly: "Xu Yanliang, why are you not following the rules, where is your mask?" Now that I think about it, it seems like it happened in my previous life. When he saw me entering the door, Yu Huai suddenly stood up.

"No...you don't need to be so grand." I took a step back. "I just want to pee." Yu Huai said with a blushing face. "I haven't seen you for two weeks, your words are getting rougher." I nodded. Yu Huai suddenly laughed, and so did I. It seems that with this smile, the discord of two weeks ago has disappeared. β once said that the end of a dispute is not that one party apologizes, but that both parties calm down. It seems that our dispute has come to an end. While I was away, the results of Yu Huai's competition came out.He won the second prize, and several universities that were as "good" as last year offered olive branches again. Yu Huai hesitated a little, and then refused.

This is what I expected. He's recovering well, and I can see that, unlike the forced optimism of two weeks ago, he seems to have really accepted the results. I wasn't of any help, but that doesn't matter anymore. Final exams are coming soon.The end of the term is nothing to us this time, but for these students who apply for the recommendation and self-enrollment bonus points of major colleges and universities, the number of places recommended by the school is limited after all, and the selection in the school still depends on the total score of the previous major exams. As soon as the Chinese exam was over, we heard several explosions in the exam room.

Ling Xiangqian was suspected of cheating and was arrested by the teaching director. She left school and disappeared without a trace. But Lin Yang and Yu Zhouzhou gave up the exam halfway, the reason is unknown. When Yu Huai and I had lunch together, he kept calling Lin Yang. "How about it?" "Keep shutting down. Don't know why." Although Lin Yang won the first prize in the two-subject competition, if he gave up the exam this time, his total score in the selection would be hundreds of points lower than others, no matter how good he usually is in the exam, he would not be able to make up for it.Both Yu Huai and I were uneasy, and the meal was very unpleasant.

After the math test in the afternoon, today's test is over. Everyone packed their schoolbags and went out. There is one more day tomorrow, and we will have a short winter vacation. Yu Huai and I walked out side by side, he called Lin Yang again, and this time he connected. Ling Xiangqian was framed for cheating. As for who did it, Lin Yang didn't say anything, but in the end, he was disqualified from the exam because he got all the stolen goods on the spot. As for Lin Yang and Yu Zhouzhou, they gave up the exam in order to find Ling Xiangqian who had run away. I stuttered completely: "Just for, for, for this precious date, he, he, he, he gave up the exam?"

"What date?" Yu Huai patted my forehead, "You are so passionate and friends, why are you thinking so dirty!" Fuck, friendship doesn't have that much power!It's just for picking up girls!You haven't seen Lin Yang do too many perverted things in order to chase Yu Zhouzhou, follow him!Track, track every day! I kept my mouth shut for a bunch of words, and suddenly I saw Yu Huai's expression of relief. "what happened to you?" "It's nothing." Yu Huai looked out the window, thoughtfully, "You said, he can let go of such a big matter as he pleases, but I'm still struggling. I'm worse than him, right? "

I blinked and slowly understood. Has Yu Huai's hurdle finally passed? I laughed: "Come on, you can't even recommend him even if you watch him, don't you feel really good?" "Get lost," he laughed angrily at me, "What a vicious woman!" We said goodbye at the school gate.It was only five o'clock, and it was already dark.He smiled and waved at me under the streetlight, turned around and was about to leave. "Hey, Yu Huai!" I called him. He turned his head and looked at me puzzled. "Sorry." I said. Yu Huai's face twitched.

"Listen to me, in fact, before, I could see that you were working hard to adjust yourself, but I was still crying beside me every day, I hope you can come to talk to me... I feel that I am quite boring, you You were right about yelling at me. I wanted to say 'sorry' too." He smiled, looking nonchalant. "Come on, you, this can only mean two things. First, my acting skills are poor; second, it's shameful that a big man can't get over such a shitty thing, and he still blames you for it. Disgraceful. Don’t mention it, just go home.” The Yu Huai I knew has officially returned, and he is still the boy he was back then.

"How old are you, you just say you're a big man." I laughed. "Oh," Yu Huai slapped his forehead, "Forget that you are a tiger, you are the senior, I am the old man, and you are the old lady." "You're the old lady!" I threw the empty coffee can towards his forehead, and he caught it with a laugh. In April, the spring in the north is long overdue. Even though I have long been accustomed to the change of seasons, the vernal equinox and rain, everything has its own time, and it is not the first time I have seen it, but every year and every season, there can still be a certain moment that amazes me.

For example, after a night of warm rain, I walked out the door unconsciously in the morning. The wind seemed to be very gentle, and I ignored it; Fascinating green, ignorantly broke into my field of vision, brushed my cheek gently. My eyes followed its departure, and then I saw large expanses of fresh green, greeting and swaying along the direction of this street. The world suddenly became colorful. Those wars and chaos also rumbled away with the winter. After the written test for recommended students and self-enrolled students, the second round of interviews for major colleges and universities also came to an end before the Spring Festival.

My trip to Beijing turned into a waste trip.Maybe I don't have the potential to study art, and I'm doomed to miss out on TV and movies. The rankings of every school are very low, and it's basically useless.I feel very sorry for my parents. Although they still said that it was expected and that it didn't matter, I felt more and more ashamed of myself. Sometimes I fell asleep in class, and my eyes were a little blurry when I got up.In those few seconds of trance, I would suddenly think of Cheng Qiaozhen, and think of the brick room with air leaks everywhere, which made me suddenly clear in the warm classroom, as if the wind was blowing all the way from Beijing that day. The fog in front of my eyes cleared. The grades are rising in stumbling.Every night after the self-study, Yu Huai and I would sneak quietly to the top floor of the administrative area, because it was convenient to talk there and would not disturb other students who were in self-study.Every day, I sort out the questions that I miscalculated that day, and Yu Huai patiently explained them to me one by one.Under my persecution, he also had to start reciting classical Chinese texts and ancient poems. Maybe because there is no longer a competition to escort the body, he also learned to restrain himself. When I was suffering in the black winter, the days always passed very slowly, but once I worked hard and improved, the time passed quickly, as if I was afraid that if I was given a little more time, I would become too much Excellent, as if accidentally scaring the heavens. However, the strange thing is that every time I think back to those years later, I always feel that time is so slow and gentle. I can clearly recall which questions he talked about every night, which words he scolded me, which ancient poems I tested, and what virtues he memorized. If I have to say that I wasted two years on Yu Huai by biting the bullet and learning the theory, then why didn't he waste a lot of his precious review time on me. We never asked each other for anything because of it. I had a bad time on the first mock exam, but the second one was much better, with a perfect score of 750, I barely managed to score 600.Last year, the score line was 582 points. Looking at this score, I was so excited that I almost cried. Yu Huai, Han Xu, Zhu Yao, and Bei Lin are still the vanguard of our class. Zhu Yao is the most stable and will always be the fourth place. Bei Lin is a little less stable, but most of them are the first.For the remaining two seats, Han Xu and Yu Huai took turns. I quietly ran to talk to Zhang Ping, ostensibly to analyze my mock exam results, but actually had other plans. "Mr. Zhang, you must have been under a lot of pressure recently. Thank you for your hard work." I flattered. "It's okay," Zhang Ping sighed, "Just save me a little worry." I know that Zhang Ping was pushed hard and softly by various parents with all kinds of money and power because of the independent enrollment quota of several universities such as Zhejiang University and Tongji University. "Don't worry, although I can't count on it, our class will definitely produce several talented students from Peking University and Tsinghua University, and you will definitely look good!" "Peking University, Tsinghua University, who is it?" "Yu Huai," I blurted out, "he must be fine, isn't his grade okay? Isn't it..." I saw Zhang Ping staring at me with a smirk on his face. "If I remember correctly, it seems that when we first took the entrance examination, you came around the corner to ask me for the school year rankings, right?" "Yes, yes, it's me, what's wrong?" I felt a little guilty. "It's okay. I thought we were concerned about the overall situation at the time, but I didn't expect that we still care about our classmates so much now," Zhang Ping smiled. Work hard, if you pass the exam, you will give me more face than all of them." "Ah, really? Why?" "Being a teacher is the same as being a doctor. They belong to the healthy type since childhood, and they should live a long life. It has nothing to do with me." Zhang Ping picked up the thermos bottle and poured hot water into the canned yellow peach bottle. "But there are some students who are similar to brain cancer patients, but they recovered in my hospital and lived to ninety-nine. Do you think they look good on me?" ... Who are you talking about brain cancer? Amidst Zhang Ping's mixed laughter of encouragement and narrowness, I fled in despair. On a Saturday at the end of April, I suddenly received a call from Yu Huai, asking me to come to school. According to his instructions on the phone, I went to the grove behind the gymnasium.The terrain of this place is relatively high, forming a small mound. The former seniors named it Late Autumn Highland. When I reached the edge of the woods, I looked up, and the noon sun was just opposite me. I was so dazzled that I couldn't keep my eyes open. I only saw Yu Huai standing against the light on the mound, holding something in his hand. ,strange. "What are you doing mysteriously," I complained, "I'm memorizing creatures, and the rhythm is disrupted by you!" He seemed to be laughing out loud, very proud of himself. "Today is Arbor Day," he said. "Arbor Day, sir, Arbor Day is March 12th, and now it's the end of April." "Can't we celebrate Arbor Day on the lunar calendar?" "Your family's lunar and solar calendars are off by more than a month!" I squinted and cursed, this mental illness. Suddenly I felt something was wrong.Something seemed to flash into my mind for a moment, but I missed it. I walked towards him, walked a few steps, and froze in place again. In his left hand, he held a small sapling. "I went out to buy a pen and saw that the property in my community was doing greening. For some reason, I suddenly remembered that you said that you wanted to plant a tree. Their workers secretly sold me a sapling. Such a crap It costs 120 yuan. Fortunately, my family is rich, otherwise I would be a hero. You don’t even know that it took me a lot of effort to get this sapling here...Why are you crying?" "You are sick," I wiped my eyes, not daring to look at him, "It's almost summer, what kind of tree to plant!" "It was autumn when you told me to plant trees." "That was two years ago!" "Master has a good memory, okay?!" I don't really feel like crying, really, who knows why the tears keep pouring out, as if I don't want money. "Can you cry later? The workers at the property said that they should be planted first before watering." I walked over, let my eyes be red like rabbits, picked up the shovel together with him, found a little more space, and started digging. After the tree was put down and filled with soil, we set up three equilateral triangle wooden sticks beside the tree, and Yu Huai tied them to the tree with the ropes from the class to fix them. I squatted next to the tree pit and watched him pour the water in the bucket into it little by little. "What kind of tree is this?" I asked him. "I don't know." He said with a smile. I sighed sullenly. Water seeps into the ground, and the wet skin glows black and oily.Yu Huai dropped the bucket, clapped his hands, and said, "Let's go." "Is this the end?" "What else do you want to do? How about I dig another hole and bury you in it?" He turned his head and asked. "This is the tree you planted, you should make a mark anyway!" I was anxious, "The tree planted by the young master is also a descendant of a famous family!" "Come on, you," Yu Huai said with a nonchalant expression, "it's not certain whether you can live or not. If you die, you will be very sad, so why don't you worry about it. After a few years, you can come back and take a look, and pick whatever you want. The one that grows the most vigorously will be regarded as the one we planted, how nice it is!" "Are you going to run around on the street after you have a child, pick the most handsome one from the number one in the college entrance examination in the past eighteen years, point out that this is your son, and let someone take care of you?!" "Good idea!" Yu Huai laughed. He went down the mountain regardless.After thinking about it, I took out the small knife I usually use to sharpen 2B pencils from my schoolbag, and carved characters stroke by stroke on the tree trunk that was at most only three fingers wide. If this tree dies in the future, it will be 100% my responsibility. But I still bit my lip and carved four words on it vigorously. "Can you go away!" Yu Huai called out to me from below the high ground with a loud voice. "Come right away!" I put away the knife, ran two steps, and turned around again. Against the surrounding trees, the tree looked pitifully immature. But it will definitely survive, grow up, and wait until a certain junior student comes to enjoy the shade under its shade, just like I saw Luo Zhi's words, seeing these four words I engraved . Four words, two people. Geng Geng Yu Huai.
