water clear and rippling

The freshly brewed cocoa drink was steaming, Song Yizhou tried to take a sip, but his mouth was still very hot.Today is Saturday, Song Yizhou is lying on the bed reading a book, which is Jin Yong's martial arts novel "Swordsman", but he is thinking about other things: his mother is coming home today, saying that he has something to discuss with him, What is it?Totally clueless.I'm going to see Xia Qingyi at the university tomorrow, and she won't be back for two weeks, so she must be doing her final review in the library now!

Song Yizhou didn't want to make unnecessary guesses, tried his best to bring his thoughts back to the book, took another sip of cocoa drink, this time the temperature was just right, and then continued to read until the deep sleepiness in the winter afternoon overwhelmed his consciousness.

It was already 03:30 when I woke up, and after sleeping for more than three hours, I couldn't help feeling dizzy.In order to prevent the remaining false drowsiness from hitting again, Song Yizhou got up and made another cup of cocoa drink. By the way, he turned on the TV and tuned to the sports channel. The football match that just ended early this morning was being replayed on the TV. One of the teams It happened to be supported by Song Yizhou, so he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

At the most tense critical moment of the game, the two teams still maintain a one-to-one score, but the Arsenal team supported by Song Yizhou is launching wave after wave of offensives.The state of watching the game engrossed was broken by the sound of the door opening, Song Yizhou didn't need to turn his head, he had already judged from the lightness of his footsteps that it was his mother who came.

"Who is it?" Song Yizhou still asked knowingly.

"It's me." Hearing the answer, Song Yizhou confirmed his guess.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Well, not yet." Song Yizhou saw his mother walking in front of him with a bag in both hands, obviously bringing him dinner.

"I bought some ingredients, let's eat together tonight." Mother said and walked to the kitchen, she was very familiar with this house.

"Okay. Don't block me!" Song Yizhou waved his hand to signal his mother to go away, and then returned to the wonderful game.

The dinner dishes are very rich, among which there is curry beef brisket and hot mutton soup that Song Yizhou likes to eat.While eating the delicious dishes, Song Yizhou realized that he hadn't eaten such an elaborate dinner at home for a long time. Generally, if he cooks himself, there are at most two dishes, and most of the time he brings them back from outside or solves them directly outside.Therefore, this kind of treatment felt a bit unnatural, and the phrase "nothing to be courteous" suddenly popped up in my mind, which was obviously inappropriate for my mother.But Song Yizhou still remembered that his mother said that he had something to tell him tonight, and a doubt came to his mind again, at this moment, his mother spoke.

"Actually, I came here today because I want to ask for your opinion on something."

"Ask for my opinion?" Song Yizhou swallowed the food, turned his head and asked in bewilderment, really couldn't think of anything else to ask for his opinion.

"Yes. In a few months, you will be 25 years old!" Mother paused for a while.

Hearing his mother talking about his age, Song Yizhou vaguely sensed what was going on.

The mother continued: "You are not young anymore. My mother has a colleague. Her friend's daughter is about the same age as you. She is also a Chinese teacher in x middle school. You both have the same occupation. I have met her mother too. She is very nice." , so I want to introduce you to each other."

Although what his mother wanted to say was all within Song Yizhou's expectations, Song Yizhou didn't know what reason to refuse for a while, it should be said that there was no need for a reason, so he said: "Mom, I don't have this plan now, you Push it for me."

"Oh, I'm not telling you to get married right away, but just getting to know each other. Although you're not too old, you're not too young, so you should think about it. If you really want to look for it in a few years, then you have to spend time getting along, What's more, it may not be possible to find it. Your father and I didn't know each other well before we got married..."

"Okay, okay." Song Yizhou interrupted his mother, he knew that his mother was going to say something that he had heard hundreds of times.However, after hearing what his mother said today, it was different from usual, Song Yizhou suddenly felt that what his mother said was actually not wrong.Song Yizhou was planning to tell his mother about his relationship with Xia Qingyi, but before he could say anything, his mother took the conversation again.

"Mom has asked for the contact information of the little girl's mother." She rummaged through the bag beside her, took out a piece of white paper folded into squares, and said, "This is the girl's contact information and name. As a boy, you should take the initiative to contact me. But the next thing is for the two of you, we adults will definitely not participate, after all, the times are different from the past."

"I..." Song Yizhou's words came to his lips, and then he thought about it: "If this is the case, then I will be fine if I don't contact me. If the other party contacts me, I will tell her clearly. About Xia Qingyi, wait for a while Then tell my mother that she is only in her first year of college."

"Alright then." Song Yizhou took the white paper with contact information written in his mother's hand, and stuffed it into his pocket without even looking at it, to show his attitude.

Mother didn't say anything.There was nothing to do for the rest of the night. After eating, my mother packed up, sat down for a while, and left.Only then did Song Yizhou take out a blank sheet of paper to read, and there were only a few short words on the sheet: "Zhou Wenya. Number: xxxxxxxxxx"

————————————————————————————————————————

After graduation, Song Yizhou never went back to school.At this moment, when I was walking on the tree-lined main road of the campus, the time seemed to be out of order, and the familiar feeling came quietly, and I seemed to be the young college student back then.The campus is a little empty on weekends. The students recruited by this university are mainly local students, so students will choose to go home on weekends.Today Song Yizhou and Xia Qingyi made an appointment to meet at the gate of the university library, and Song Yizhou accompanied her to review at the end of the semester.Nearly half an hour before the agreed time, Song Yizhou decided to wander around the campus.

Song Yizhou passed the second, third and fourth teaching buildings where he had attended classes, and came to the first teaching building.This is the earliest teaching building built. The red brick walls are antique and covered with unknown green vines, and the whole teaching building is surrounded by lush trees.When passing the lecture theater on the first floor, Song Yizhou found that there were classes in progress, most of them were young people, but they were not young enough compared to college students.When Song Yizhou was wondering who it was in class, he saw a young long-haired woman trotting towards him. Just as the woman passed by him, Song Yizhou caught a glimpse of something falling out of the side pocket of her slacks. It looks like a card-shaped item.Song Yizhou picked it up and found that it was a student ID card, but it seemed to be different from the one he used back then. The woman seemed to be surnamed Zhou. Song Yizhou didn't continue to look at it carefully, so he hurriedly stopped the woman and shouted: "Classmate , your things have been dropped." While walking over, he reached out and handed the card to the woman.The woman stopped when she heard the sound, turned around and looked at the card in Song Yizhou's hand, then smiled and said, "Thank you!" and walked towards the first teaching building.Song Yizhou saw from the window that the woman walked into the classroom with her head bowed and her head bowed. She was not a very beautiful woman, but her smile was so gentle.

After walking around the campus, Song Yizhou returned to the entrance of the library.After waiting for a few minutes, Xia Qingyi arrived on time, and the two of them studied together in the study room of the library for a long time.At noon, they went to the famous food street in the university to have lunch together. Xia Qingyi picked a very popular restaurant. This restaurant was newly opened, and Song Yizhou had never had it when he was in university.People always say that when they left school, the school became better. Only then did Song Yizhou realize that the people after them also felt the same emotion, which was the beautiful nostalgia for the things that had been lost.

During lunch, Xia Qingyi kept telling interesting stories about college life and complaining about college exams.From Song Yizhou's ears, they were all things that he had experienced before, but thinking about it now, it feels normal.

"The professor actually lectured on dozens of pages in one class, and spent a lot of time in each class listening to him gossip about various things. After a semester, I couldn't figure out what was written in the book. What's worse, the professor said that the content of the exam is this book. Thinking about reading all these hundreds of pages, I want to die... I used to think that university is heaven, but I didn't expect it to be another hell !" Xia Qingyi narrated happily, shaking her head from time to time.

Listening to Xia Qingyi's narration, Song Yizhou had a deep understanding, thinking of his incompatibility in the first year of university, which resulted in only a little more than a little more in the final exam. "Because college is different from high school and junior high school before, no one will control you anymore, and the courses are not so tight, so you will feel very free. But things are relative. When you are free, you have to manage Good freedom..." Song Yizhou spoke at length.

"Haha, thank you for pointing out the maze, Master!" Seeing Song Yizhou's serious look, Xia Qingyi thought it was funny, and Song Yizhou couldn't help but burst out laughing.This point of joy, only they can get.

It's a pity that the moment of joy is too short, and it can't even reach the normal level.

There is no one on the playground at night, only the dim old yellow lights illuminate.Song Yizhou and Xia Qingyi sat side by side on the stand, time seemed to return to the swing night when they first met, except that summer was replaced by winter.

"Remember the night we played on the swing together?" Xia Qingyi asked.

"Of course I remember, I was very impressed."

"Well, me too." Xia Qingyi said, leaning her head tightly on Song Yizhou's shoulder. "I really want to keep leaning on like this." Xia Qingyi said in a low voice, revealing the reservedness and shyness unique to girls in her voice.

"Miss me!" Song Yizhou said playfully.

Xia Qingyi didn't respond, Song Yizhou felt his arms being hugged even tighter.

Song Yizhou understood that the answer was obviously "yes".After the previous relationship with Qin Jiahui, Song Yizhou has gradually understood girls' minds. Putting aside the material level, what most girls want is companionship, which is a kind of intimate sense of security.Especially when something like that happened to Xia Qingyi's family, she needed it more than anyone else, although she didn't show it.

"I'm right here!" Song Yizhou stroked Xia Qingyi's head, Xia Qingyi closed her eyes and remained motionless, quietly feeling the rise and fall of her chest brought by her breathing.Song Yizhou also closed his eyes, but what his mother said last night emerged in his mind.He also thought that "breaking up with Qin Jiahui was only at the beginning of the year, but this year I seem to have matured a lot..." Song Yizhou suddenly realized this.

"What are you in a daze for?" After a long time, Xia Qingyi opened his eyes and asked suspiciously.

"Ah, no! I'm just following your example!"

"Oh...that..."

"What?"

Xia Qingyi licked his lips, and continued: "It's nothing. Do you have any good book recommendations? Every time I go to the library, faced with so many books, I can't choose! So I came up with a good idea recently, which is Let you recommend a book to me every week, and I will definitely read it. If I see a good book, I will also recommend it to you. In this way, even though you are not here, I think the book you have read is good. what do you think?"

"Little fool, of course. What kind of movie do you want to watch?" Song Yizhou pinched Xia Qingyi's face, suddenly feeling pity and guilt.

"Any genre is fine. Why don't you recommend me the history class first, I feel that I am very weak in this area. The so-called literature and history are not separated, so I should also take tutoring."

Song Yizhou nodded, then searched his brains.

"Then watch "The Fifteen Years of Wanli"!"

"Well, okay, it feels good to hear the name."

"Qing Yi, you are really eager to learn! Back then, when I was a freshman, I just cared about playing, like a wild horse that had run wild, greedily enjoying the free air."

"Then I'm Don Quixote's war horse, going forward relentlessly, running for my ideals. Hahahaha..." Xia Qingyi laughed wildly.

"What kind of ideal? It won't be a big battle with windmills!"

"Haha, to be honest, I really want to study abroad and have a look outside. I don't think foreign countries are so good, but I just want to experience them, understand?" Xia Qingyi exudes the light of a vigorous college student full of longing for the future .

"It's like cosplay, movie stars, you play different roles in different movies, but you still play yourself under the movie."

"A brilliant metaphor." Xia Qingyi agreed.

"I also said impromptu, um... I fully support your idea." Song Yizhou did agree with Xia Qingyi's approach from the bottom of his heart, but he still believed that theory is one thing, and reality is another.

As the night darkened, Song Yizhou accompanied Xia Qingyi to the dormitory.At □□pm, there were still returning students getting off the school bus.When passing by the parking lot, Song Yizhou felt that someone was staring at him, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look. As far as he could see was a man in a black windbreaker, wearing glasses with metal rims. Showing the breath of youth and maturity.Only then did Song Yizhou realize that the man's eyes were not only on him, but also on Xia Qingyi.The man also noticed that Song Yizhou was looking at him, so he looked away and walked in the other direction, his tall figure was gradually hidden in the darkness.
